madame mayor. let me start with this d.c. debate that has raged for years, eddie. you have spoken to me for three years on this program and for almost a decade before that on "morning joe" about these racist reminders being a reminder of who we still are. what does it say to you that some of the bigger things are falling, bigger things that with stood criticism for years and years. >> i mean, it says to me i think we are on the precipice of change at a certain level. the demographic shifts have placed us at a certain position. the grassroots activism over the last few years, it's come to a head in some ways. and you know, what it remind me of, if we think about how the shift around same-sex marriage happened, there was just clear opposition. it was part of the culture wars and then boom it just happened in some ways. right? so you had activism and then a cultural shift and i think we are seeing that with regards to confederate monuments, to these racial slurs, these ethnic insensitivity. we are seeing that now but there's no necessary relationship between those kin

madam mayor, it seems contradictory the president told the local and state authorities to handle the coronavirus but he wants to come in your local city and handle what he deems as out of control protesters, though we've not seen that and seems to have taken the exact opposite view when it comes to people that have exercised their free speech. >> reverend sharpton, you're exactly right. i think this is a dangerous political trend for a president who is growing more desperate. america needed his help. we still need his help with the coronavirus, but at every juncture, he makes decisions to make it worse and to not give us what we need to fight this virusat the same time when people protest in the streets, he is militarizing federal law enforcement and literally invading cities. we're seeing the shredding of democracy before our eyes. >> you threatened to go to court. what would be the basis of your court challenge. >> i spoke with the active secretary of homeland security. he assured me they would not invade the streets of seattle and would call me if that changed. we've seen what has

. >> what's your response, madame mayor? >> that's classic trump hyperbole. i sent him a letter on monday outlining the very specific things that the federal government is uniquely yal if ied to help with starting with common sense gun control. the fact of the matter is our gun problem is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on the street. 60% of which, 60% of which come from states outside of illinois. we are being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background checks, no ban on assault weapons. that is hurting cities like chicago. that is the thing that if the president wanted to help and the other things i identified in my letter he could do today, tomorrow but he is not really interested in helping in that way. >> he's obviously not going to support any restrictions on gun ownership. would you support an increased federal presence in chicago as long as they coordinated with local officials, local law enforcement and the u.s. attorney? >> i've said it before and i'll say it again. no troops, no agents co
