that's for sure. >> jeh johnson, you're a distinguished lawyer. what is the constitutional circumstance on this? because president trump now says he could do it in dozens of other cities? as far as i can tell, there's no violence. this is conjuring up some state of lawlessness in america that doesn't exist. can the president, in a sense, define an emergency and then act on what he describes as a self-defined emergency? >> fareed, i think that is fact-dependent. from what i can see, the facts don't really exist here. first and foremost, the mayor, the police chief, is principally responsible for public safety. and if they're not requesting federal help, then that calls into question what they are doing. if, in fact, there is a systematic violation of federal civil rights going on. say, for example, these agents are arresting people on less than probable cause, that is hugely problematic and may, indeed, violate federal law. as a general matter, federal law enforcement can protect federal civil rights, can pursue violations of federal law, but i jus

thanks to all of you, jeh johnson, peter alexander, and dani pletka. that's all for today.hanks for watching. have an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend. chuck will be back next week and remember if it's sunday it's "meet the press." >>> over the fourth of july weekend, president trump had polarizing themes. >>> plus coronavirus cases across the country continue to surge with florida and texas each reporting a new record number of daily infections. >>> and president trump falsely states that 99% of covid cases are totally harmless. that claim had a member of the white house coronavirus task force offering up a fact-check.

. >> joining me for insight and analysis are former homeland security secretary jeh johnson, danielle from american enterprise group and nbc correspondent peter alexander. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >>> from nbc news in washington, the longest-running show in television history. this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> good sunday morning, and i hope you're having a happy and safe fourth of july weekend. chuck todd is away this week, but for the second consecutive night on this holiday weekend, president trump gave a divisive speech referring to opponents among other things as marxists and looters while down playing the surging pandemic. the coronavirus is exploding across much of the country with nine of the worst days happening in the last ten days. with 17 states now recording their single-day highs this week, many are closing down bars, restaurants, beaches and gyms. some for a second time while others have delayed reopenings each as president trump says he thinks or hopes the virus will just disappear. health experts are pleading with americans, wear a mask, a

have the privilege and honor of introducing today my former boss, secretary jeh johnson. to help set the scene for our conversation, secretary johnson is currently where i believe he is working into thousand one when he and i served together on the american bar association on law and national security. prior to that time, he had been assistant u.s. attorney in new york and had been general counsel for the department air -- of the air force. in 2009, he was tapped to be general counsel for the entire -- he came in as secretary of homeland security from 2013 to 2017, during which time i was responsible for cyber security and critical infrastructure. i saw firsthand how secretary johnson prioritized outreach efforts to places around the country that might otherwise feel prioritized, devoting significant time to travel and meet particularly with communities of color. he devoted a significant effort to recruiting african-americans and minorities to the workforce. i cannot think of a better person to kick off the two days of conversation about systemic racism as a national secur

you know whom everybody is about stormtroopers and the military and you know, like jeh johnson said, you can't have these in our cities. you know, the only thing about those people that is out there making the arrest is the uniform. they are wearing technical uniforms. they are wearing technical uniforms because they can't be out there interests lose because they are getting peace and and molotov cocktails and all kindsm these lunatics. they will not wear dress blues and whites. they have to be in technical uniforms and that is the uniforms they are wearing. this is not about a military operation. >> lisa: why do you think the narrative is out there then? you just a spirit of the attacks going on from the left and the media. why are we seeing that from them? >> than >> the narratives are out there because of the radical leftist marxist politicians. they need to jazz up the lunatics in the field. they want them, to incite them and instigate them. the only way to do that is basically say, you know, this is a military, you know, tack on our city. this is a military attack on our people.

that, my friend, secretary jeh johnson. thank you for joining us and i know you are supposed to be cheering another meeting and we are very grateful so let's get right to it. over to you. >> thank you very much, suzanne. good afternoon everybody. suzanne, i want to thank you for your public service as well and for your work as secretary of the department of homeland security. as many of you know there is a new agency and the executive branch called the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency. what you may not know is within the executive branch susanna spalding is the single person most responsible for the creation of that agency. she pushed for the creation of that agency and never gave up and as the result today we have an agency of our government devoted to cybersecurity. thank you very much for that suzanne. i was asked to speak to you this afternoon about racism and the importance of civic engagement. if anyone asked me to civic engagement important in bringing about social change my answer is a resounding and

i'm very depressed and distraught about it. >> jeh johnson, thank you very much.. the book is "rigged:america it, russia and 100 years of covert electoral interference." >>> yesterday we reported joe biden was being urged by some democrats to go big and try and expand the electoral map. we learned just a few minutes ago that the campaign is set to run ads in a deep red state where polls show he is competitive.

pleased to say, is the former secretary of homeland security during the obama administration, ja jeh johnsoncretary johnson, it's a real honor. thanks so much for making time. >> thanks, rachel. good to see you. >> let me just ask your top-line response and understanding about this controversy having been in charge of the homeland security department, knowing a lot about its capabilities, its responsibilities and the things that it's asked to do, do you think that people are overreacting in their response, their concern, and now ultimately in these lawsuits trying to stop the department from deploying these officers in the way that we've seen play out in the streets of portland >> short answer, no. i don't believe people are overreacting to what is going on in portland. so the object of all of this so far as i've been able to figure out is the hatfield federal courthouse in downtown portland and an adjacent federal building, forces of dhs that had been deployed to the scene are first the federal protection service, which is a component of dhs that reports directly to the secretary, and its c

i'm joined now by former secretary of homeland security, jeh johnson.o you agree with tom ridge because ridge also said that while he welcomed the opportunity to work with any federal agency to fight crime that it would with a cold day in hell before he would consent to an intervention on one of his cities. what are your thoughts on these sort of faux military troops invading democratic-led cities. >> first, joy, congratulations on the new show. >> thank you. >> quite a start. congratulations. i could not agree more with my pred succees se sor, tom ridge. if i were in office now, it's hard to imagine, but if i remember in office right now, i would probably be saying to my subordinates within dhs, a surge like this would probably be unnecessarily provocative and actually make matters worse. those who don't know lessons of history are bound to repeat them. one of the things we learned from ferguson in 2014 is that a millar taristic approach, presence on the treats of the united states in our cities during moments of high tension can actually make matters
