. >>> we'll hear from another guest with the american conservative union. he serves as their chair. welcome to washington once again. >> great to be with you. >> as it stands today, how would you make the case that president trump can win a second term? >> oh, it's -- this race sets up very similarly to how the race set up in 2016. the biggest dynamic, pedro, which i think is even bigger, is this idea that if you're a republican, if you're a conservative, that you promulgate hate speech or that it's a racist party when actually history shows it's just the opposite. this is the party that stood up against slavery and kept the union together and pushed for civil rights. but because the fact that if you support trump or if you're a republican or you support republicans and holding on to the majority in the senate, when that's equated to racism as it is so easily done in most media outlets, you know, what happens is trump supporters and republicans just start to ease back on any public comments on politics including even just in social situations, even these corporations that are, quote

at 8:30 american conservative , union chair matt schlapp on campaign 2020 and president trump's re-election strategy. ♪ host: good morning, this is the washington journal for july 21. you are looking at scenes from portland last night, between a local police and people protesting against balance on african-americans. it is the latest scenes that have prompted the trump administration to send officers to places like portland and seattle. in our first hour, we will show you more of what the president said about the process and get your thoughts on whether you agree or disagree with the deployments. 202-748-8000,call if you disagree, 202-748-8001, you can text us at 202-748-8003 or tweet us@cspanwj. websiteonian on their discusses a bit of the events from yesterday. this story saying "parent groups marched in droves monday night to join the protests in response to repeated and nicely use of force by federal agents on demonstrators." they first started protesting police violence against black americans in may, and it was 31 days later that federal officers demonstrations. in the weeks since, th

the power panel now, matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union.a professor at john hopkins university. great to see both of you. matt, is this working for the president? >> matt: yeah, i think some people are equating these polls that show biden in the lead and are saying, "the president strategy clearly isn't working." i think this is exactly the right strategy. i have been involved in many presidential campaigns, including one from the white house and one in 2000 as a staffer. i think running for president is the hardest thing a politician could ever consider doing. it is emotionally grueling and physically grueling. the problem with the election of this year is that joe biden is essentially trying to duck and cover, not have a full campaign, hang out in his house, and none of us are able to really see what he's got. i think with the president said in terms of sitting down with chris wallace, which is no easy interview, harris, were sitting down with them like you, he ought to take an answer dominic hour and answer the tough questions. he ought

matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union, and jose aristimuno, former dnc deputy pressmatt, i come to you first. what is your reaction to seeing mayor bill de blasio not necessarily popular on either side of the political here in nm outside trump tower? >> matt: yeah, i guess he believes that it's okay to open up class for arts and crafts but not for new york city's school children. while literally hundreds of thousands of people are getting out of new york city, because of its mismanagement, because of their mismanagement of chinese corona, but specifically because of the crime. dead children in the streets, because this mayor irresponsibly is blaming cops for all the ills of society. and joe biden today is basically calling for cops to be a new force that is unarmed in these communities. we need to take back order in the streets. not because we want to do people harm, but because we want to save the lives of these precious children who are victims of this angry mob. that failed mayor. >> harris: jose, why is the mayor doing something like this now? there are a lot of

the national urban league, our street, freedom works, concerned veterans for america, the american conservative union, campaign for liberty, americans for tax reform, and the faith and freedom coalition. and so people on the left and the right agree. it is time to start to demilitarization the police. our amendment will permanently prohibit the transfer of lethal military weapons to police departments. this includes heavy ammunition, bayonets, grenade launchers, explosives, stripped down tanks, tear gas, and weaponized drones, among other things. think about that list. weaponizeed drones, bayonets, is anybody under the impression that a police department needs a weaponized drone or bayonet? but our amendment also ensures police departments can still get access to the equipment that actually helps them to protect the public under the 1033 program, like first aid kits, cold weather gear, flashlights, high-water vehicles to respond to flood disasters. the last month has made clear that weapons of war don't belong in police departments. weapons of war have no place in police departments. we saw the terri

matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union and former white house political director. both. here is the headline from "the wall street journal." i will set this up and we will have the debate together. the massive portland, progressives blame trump for the disorder that they've tolerated it. the point of the piece is, don't save them from their own troubles. should that be the strategy from the white house? >> i have a lot of respect for our friends of "the wall street journal" but i think that is way off base. if you look at the editorials coming out of the newspapers that are actually in the community, they are saying there is an overblown response and the hyped up problem that the majority of the people in portland are peaceful protesters. but we are seeing some bad actors coming late at night. there's no room for violence and no room for looting and what we are seen by the federal response right now is totally lack of distinguishing between the peaceful protesters and those who are committing crimes. when the federal officers are tear gassing moms were standing the

joining me right now the cyber guy, kirk canutson and liz peek and chairman for american conservative unionatt schlapp, thank you very much for being here. kirk, how did a hack like this take place? kirk: yeah, it is something and if you look back at times jack dorsey twitter ceo's account got ahold to, what's happening with twitter is a massive, massive violation of their own securities. somebody got the key to twitter and administrative controls internally the kind of employees would use to control your account and they went and changed, this is how it worked, they went into your profile, they change who had the person is that's in charge of your account as well as the e-mail and at that point they went ahead and started posting as you, coordinated attack and how they got into twitter isn't clear yet. what we do know the most common way that your account can get hacked is through fishing scheme, you clicked on something, looked legit. the one thing you can do with that you would normally notice log-in alert by text or e-mail to you, you didn't look at it and you say that wasn't me who log

american black conservative. harry, i know you've got to be -- larry, i know you've got to be proud of all those unions supportingter -- [laughter] a marxist-inspired organization that seems to be having its way in radical dem-run cities all over the country. >> yeah, it's pretty sad. you know, i watched the interview that donald trump had last night with chris wallace on fox business and, of course, "the washington post," new york e times in overtime fact-checking everything the president said. what they don't fact check is this big lie that cops are killing black people just because they're black. it's not like the federal government has not been interested in this issue. since the mid '90s, the doj has conducted the police public contact survey where they ask 60,000 americans -- not a awe small sample -- 60,000 americans, did you have contact with the police last year, if answer's yes, a series of questions follows. no pattern can be found. in 2013 the national institutes of justice which is the research arm of the doj put out a study on race in traffic stops, could not find any pattern of abuse against black
