to discuss this move, i'm joined by thomas durkin, the lawyer for abdul latif nasser. welcome to the newshour and thankers for making the time. tell knee, what was your reaction and his when you learned he was going to leave guantanamo today after nearly two decades? >> well, i can't speak for him, yet i did speak to his brother who was absolutely ecstatic. i am told he has been released in morocco but i haven heard from him yet. he probably has more important people to see than me at this moment. i was just tremendously relieved it is like getting a boulder off your shoulder is the best i can say it. it is just awful whahappened to him. >> nawaz: now he was cleared for release, i should say, back in 2016. do you know why this happened today? >> i don't know why it happened today. i do know why, i have a theory on why it happened in the last few weeks. because we have a pleading that was due in the federal court. and we had filed aya long with bernard har tz court at columbia law school to help with some law students there, an amendment to a mask petition for 11 people

tommy, when we got durkin and the summer of love nonsense last year. was saying that when the zone there were fires and 1or 2 people were killed. what does she realize now she didn't realize last summer? >> well, judge, democrats are like over-grown toddlers. they break something and they act as though they don't know how it got broken. this is what happens when you placate to blm for the last 5 years. this is what you will get. lawlessness in the streets. it's not enough just to hire more officers. you have to stop demonizing the ones you have left and officers in general so you have men and women willing to step up to serve and protect their community. the democrats are receiving private protection from the american taxpayers in their cities. but they are not using social workers. they are using security details. they place their security over the american people. it's enough of this. end the culture of lawless not and stop demonizing officers and stop coddling criminals. >> leo, the thing about durkin, the seattle mayor, she was actually a prosecuto

jesse watters in seattle where live, the mayor durkin actually got two protective details, a uniformthose cops got priority for tha detail meaning that in addition to defunding the precincts, whe cops would call in sick or had to leave, then those would be understaffed because her details , both of them, always remained staffed. >> this is why people hate politicians because they never follow the rules as they direct that you whether it is pelosi who strolls into the salon without a mask or newsom who dines with 20 people at fluent french laundry or any of these people that defund the police and then get a squad flanking their shoulders with armed guys it's just terrible, and look with the democrats did in the summer, they build out all the rioters and they want to throw the book at the january 6 protesters. remember, they savagely attacke all police departments last yea as systemically racist, and the just keep praise on the capitol hill police, they didn't really care when other people's businesses were being broken into, but when they're business was broken into, that was the diff

host: this is erin durkin of national journal. she reports on health care issues, joining us to talk about the new effort by the biden administration when it comes to vaccination rates. thank you for joining us. guest: thank you for having me. host: what is the best way to understand what put forth this new push yesterday? guest: the president had made a goal for july 4 to get one shot to 70% of adult americans, and right before the july 4 weekend, they were just coming in shy of that goal, but that was anticipated. and so what you really heard

mayor is begging for the city to rebuilds it police department after shootings over the weekend but durkinout the city's chop zone that look the life of our national treasurist. we had the father on. that was a heart breaking interview. he died in the summer of love and we covered it on the program. the media mob ignored and they barely covered the mugging of former senator barbara boxer. now thieves in it broad daylight ransacking every store. they don't arrest as long as you don't steal $1,000 worth of material. defund and no bail doesn't work. it's a disaster for democrats. they own it. it's their policy. they supported it. it's important to note the defund police movement and officials had no problem using your tax dollars to hire their own security services. here with reaction louisiana senator john kennedy. i just hand it to you. this is basic simple louisiana common sense. >> i think it is. i don't know why this is. if i get to heaven, i will ask. there are some people in this world that just are not fit to be part of our society. they are not sick. they are not mixed up. they are n

mayor durkin is a lame duck not running for reelection.s the council president, one of the members who pledged to defund the police by 50% last year. thank you, dana. >> dana: we'll see what happens there. thank you, dan. >> bill: we shall see what happens here. it is getting very interesting in california. new poll shows the radio host larry elder emerging as the republican front runner a race to recall the democratic governor gavin newsom and strong support for ousting the democrat. 47% of likely voters back the effort. 50% are against it. reading into the numbers intriguing things developing. tom bevan, editor of real clear politics. how are you doing? you read numbers for a living here. i will give you the leading republicans. elder 18%, cox 10, faulkner 10, undecided 40%. the state of the race in california is thus. republicans only make up a quarter of the vote in that state but the enthusiasm here on the recall is sky high. what's moving right now after a berkeley poll and an "l. a. times" poll shows republicans have more strength t

the most predictable thing on the planet and durkin is getting the memo now?t and 300 are slated to leave. they will have a problem on her hands if she can't stop the flood. what you likeened it to in service in battle. imagine the message the enemy would get if you had to say please and have protocols in the moments of engagement. he would shoot you between the eyes before you got your words out. if you want to compare it to battle which on some streets in america it looks like that right now. >> unfortunately on some streets it is. you're right. >> harris: gateway drugs and gateway crimes and a loosening of our morals in society. is that what's happening here? brazen shoplifters are tearing across america. last week we showed you the video caught two thieves stuffing garbage bags filled with stolen perfumes. ulta beauty store in los angeles in front of an employee. you want to stick your hand in between those knowing that they'll get away with it? no. also in los angeles one of the suspects in the murder of a rite aid employee has turned himself in. that emp

mayor of seattle, jenny durkin is pleading to rebuild the police force after six shootings rocked the. >> we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers. there's many times and types of 911 calls that require a traditional sworn police officer to respond. it's a false choice between community-led solutions and police officers. we need both. >> emily: yes, she's absolutely right. here's the issue. she changed her tune from 1 1/2 years ago. she talks about chop being a block party back then. i remember as well when there were peaceful protesters in front of her house that she called a riot and then decided to call to refund the police. she's been all over the place. as a seattle resident, it's too little too late. your thoughts. >> yeah. one of the things we learned is the defund the police movement came out of the black lives matter movement and led to the destruction or more black lives than anything. shootings in seattle are doubled from this time last year, this is not just a seattle problem. i'm running to represent the people of ohio. by the way, folks wan

you guys, in seattle, mayor durkin, she has two details that protect her, a uniformed division and thenhas a $7.5 million house. and here's the thing. of that uniformed detail, the regular officers of seattle, the police department in the precinct if one calls out sick they prioritize her detail, they won't take cops away from that. so it leaves the actual precincts and protecting of citizens even more lean than defending does. and my fifth quote because there's no cell service apparently in her neighborhood and no bathroom. so one cop said, you just sit there and stare and think about how [bleep] your life is for four or five hours. end quote. so the resident socialist psycho of the city council led a protest up to the mayors house saying they needed even more communism in the city so then it got real the mayor came out called it a riot and then they sued each other so it was crazy infighting. so when it comes to their front door is only when the mayors protect. i have to say adam is the guy behind finding all this stuff out and is constantly exposing the government's payments and ever

. >> i see, i just didn't hear a durkin the meaning of it that everybody else did. i think that the outstanding thing with close-ups were excellent. you need to learn when you're going to put have a prepared statement you going to need to have the opportunity to study in a little bit more and read it with a little bit more conviction and interest. and change of pace. >> was certainly criticized, they won't use it all. mark: we learn from this conversation. michael: we learned that it was impossible for lyndon b. johnson to be a great president if lady bird johnson had not been first lady. and the problem here is almost every first lady i think and melody would probably agree with this is they always say i really have very little influence on the present to the credit to him. it was all his doing and she would have guessed for state dinners or something like that it lady bird is no exception. in those conversations and i will have with her, she said the same thing. it will if did not know any better, just think that she was sort of this polite minor figure in the ent

i listened to jenny durkins, the summer of love mayor, who alads allowed the chaz to develop, she refusedempted to kill them and she stood by and said -- they cut the budget in seattle for the police force attend of last year when the homicide rate was at a 10-year high, same thing in washington, d.c. just in june, the mayor there was talking about reallocating funds away from the police department. now crime is important? crime rose because of their feclless, horrific leadership. >> i love that word feckless, i'll have to use that in conversation later today. what you're seeing here to is a total about face. anyone with a brain knows the truth here it was the democrats, no be fair, not all of them, it was democrats, not republicans, who called to defund the police. they demonized police officers. a lot of cops decided the risk wasn't worth the reward anymore and they quit. i think it will cost a lot of money to hire new ones. they screwed up the supply dash supply/demand balance. the democrats are so good at talking out both sides of their mouth, they had the audacity to blame it on repu

durkin came on board. he was later joined by his associate. but what was your first impression?ie's autopsy, and all of those tests conducted at the creek were looked with scrutiny. >> this was a breathtakingly beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. it was the perfect place to commit a murder where nobody would see you. coming up, authorities take a good look at the scene. >> the story did not matchup. >> and for the mueller kids, a shock. >> i was just like, why? and they said, we can tell you that. >> a new chapter opens, but nothing in this case will go the way anyone thinks. when dateline continues. dateline continues.
