so, they're feeling it there as well, wolf. >> very strong words from the mayor, rahm emanuel.acosta, thanks very much. let's bring back our panel. don lemon, we know the president in his speech today also pushing for an overhaul of the u.s. criminal justice system. he's sort of walking a fine line. i know he had a very detailed, carefully prepared speech. he's calling policing issues in urban areas deeply troubling. what actions do you think he needs to take? >> i think he needs to continue to do exactly what he's doing, and i think he needs to go in even harder. i thought his speech today was brilliant, and he was very natural in saying that, you know, people aren't -- african-americans aren't making these things up. he said that over the past couple of days. and today he said, you know, similar things. but i think that he needs to, while he has the executive power, while he is the chief executive, he needs to figure out what to do next and how he can make a difference. i'm not the president of the united states. i don't know exactly what powers he has as a president to make

rahm emanuel, police chief of new york city. the mayor and police deputy chief from d.c., you could go on down through the list. >> baltimore there. >> 17 u.s. attorneys. >> there was baltimore mayor and police commissioner there as well. >> why wouldn't lore let that lynch, the attorney general want all the press there to convene this? why was it so secret? >> there was a few minutes at the very end they invaded the press. in it's at that point they realized i was the only one there during three hours. there wasn't a whole lot said is. was interesting was the unvarnished version that took place over of the preceding hours when the police chiefs the mayors all began talking about why they think the crime is going up in chicago and baltimore and elsewhere. some themes emerged. one of the most interesting here and the one that's hard to quantify but raises the most questions is this idea that somehow police officers are pulling back. are being more conservative in the era of the youtube video clip, the smart phone videos, the iphones, taking a picture of every police intera

that have a resemblance of that flag and they changed it but for people to manipulate it like rahm emanuel said don't let a good prices go to waste any to focus of the real crisis of the quality of life and desegregation and inner-city. >> we'll a member of the congressional black caucus? >> i remember when i joined people would ask how can you do that? has said there only to a qualifying criteria a member of congress and blackened eye of in. it was interesting but jobless the civil-rights i i:he came down to campaign against the no clue about my background prepared he was my representative growing upper when i met him at the swearing-in ceremony is said it is in order to beat you i tell her about my parents he was absolutely shocked so we need to have those voices so we don't become polarized because i want to restore the greatness of the black community in and the inner-city that property washington had when he discovered tuskegee institute. >> to spend a lot of time on philosophers in your book who are your favorites? >> without a doubt job of blocking is the classic liberal philosopher

obama's former chief of staff, chicago mayor rahm emanuel, said police officers are telling him thatare afraid to get out of their cars because if i get out of this car, is my career going to be on the line? so this is obama's former chief of staff, who is saying the same thing. >> he said we've allowed our police department to get fetal, rahm emanuel said. this is also the guy investigating hillary clinton, comey. >> that is very true. if i was hillary clinton, i would be worried about this. this is a guy bucking the way the white house and the justice department political types were not happy at all about his saying this. he didn't care. he pushed back on bush. this is a guy that doesn't say what the political types have to say. so he's investigating hillary clinton's e-mails. i think if he minds something, if the fbi finds something, they'll go with it. >> he's truly apolitical and seems like an honest broker. mark, thank you. >> thanks, megyn. >>> we also have fallout from what happened when a hollywood director decided to attack the nypd. plus, a must-see conversation with one r

more power to your gut. >>> chicago mayor rahm emanuel, no stranger to controversy, but what he sayslot of people up in arms. in a meeting with attorney general loretta lynch last week, he said, quote, we have allowed our police department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence. he went on to say they don't want to be a news story themselves. they don't want their career ended early and it's having an impact and the mayor is not backing done now. here's what he said on monday. >> officers themselves are telling me about how the news over the last 15 months have impacted their instincts, do they stop or do they keep driving? when i stop here, is it going to be my career on the line? >> joining me now is mark o'mara, attorney general and legal analyst. cedri cedrick, you first, is the mayor right? >> i think it's the mayor's observation based on the city he's in there and officers clearly he's talking to in chicago. we all know, don, that across this country police departments right now are feeling somewhat a pause merely because of the kind of the state of where policing i

now even liberal chicago mayor rahm emanuel is agreeing with us. he said, quote, i met with officers from the tenth district and one office said explicitly when i'm driving by i have to think about whether i want to be on the up ins and what it means for my career. comes are pulling back. not doing their job, but if you have to wonder if i go ahead and frisk that person and it's on camera am i going to lose my job? that moment of hesitation could mean the difference between life and death. >> if you want to hold police accountable and responsible because i hold them on a pedestal. i think most americans have tremendous respect for police. we expect them to do their job, not harass, intimidate, bully. not grab a guy like james blake who is standing, waiting for a car to throw thim to the ground. we can't use this to defend bad police behavior. >> stay on black lives matter. is it more dangerous for comes? >> i'm not sure they are. we have heightened tensions on both sides now. there was a big police chief summit that happened recently. they all get

and chicago mayor rahm emanuel who also attended lynch a meeting said this. >> they pull back from the ability to interdict. they don't want to be a news story themselves. larry: so police don't want tobf embarrassment, okay, i tell you what, let's play a gun game called which news story is worse. all right. this is fun, okay. i will show you two different news stories and by applause i want everyone in the audience to tell me which one is worse. the first one police officer embarrassed by viral video. okay, that's pretty bad, okay. now here is the other one. unarmed black man gunned down by police. (cheers and applause) fine, we'll go with number two, fine. >> even though i will grant you police officers that every right to be embarrassed. black people have more of a right to be worried about being killed. and because we're afraid of being killed we have just started recording police in order to add a level of transparency to their tactics. but now cops are threatened by that. as this former new york detective tells fox news. >> you've got a lot of cops out there that still want to do

but the presidents former chief of staff rahm emanuel, now mayor of chicago a city particularly hard-hity murder rates sides with director comey. quote -- we have allowed our police department to get fetal, and it is having a direct consequence. they have pulled back from the ability to interdict. they dont want to be a news tory themselves. they dont want their career ended early. and its having an impact. unquote. what does rahm by getting fetal? clarence: what he means is fetal position. they're crouching down there, hiding behind their cars and not getting out and patrolling. in fact, there is a -- the prison effect, first of all, what they call the cell phone effect. look at the big cases and they've been generated by cell phone videos in chicago, the city has had to cut back considerably on police and police patrols over recent years, resulting in less community policing so the police are getting less of an opportunity to get out and know anywhere community and contacts and that's a really effective way to bring down crime rates. also in chicago and washington, places that have had

meanwhile, former top spokesman for president obama, and rahm emanuel, is getting addressive toward bernie sanders for these comments. >> we need a political revolution. we need to mobilize tens of millions of people to begin to stand up and fight back and to reclaim the government which is now owned by big money. do i think that that is -- was the work -- was that the goal of the president and the vice president? not really. i don't think so. so i think we've got to go further. you know, i think we need to stand up to wall street in a way that -- that the president and the vice president have not. >> this prompted ben la bolt who is national press secretary for the obama biden re-election campaign to write bernie sanders said he would not carry out the obama legacy. count obama supporters out of quote the revolution. now, still ahead on "way too early," mcdonald's could be making a comeback. the fast food chain is suddenly sizzling again at a record high. plus what more could he have done? after winning the n.l. west, dodgers manager don mattingly is out. those stories and a check on weat

i see that as a defense of the police and nobody knows more than rahm emanuel what is going on in chicagoolice are necessary and we are having such problems with murders on a daily basis. i completely understand his frustration and the frustration of a lot of police officers. you have one or two bad apples in every police department, in lots of police departments, to paint the entire structure of the entire police force in every city that way is counterproductive especially in places like chicago where they have real issues. we understand his frustration. bill: it happened to some of their brothers in blue out there who have been videotaped and in some cases it goes back to the ferguson case where it turned out not to be what it appeared to be but it was too late for that. >> a lot of time in chicago before coming to new york. i got to say that city have a lot of other problems besides the recent controversy. in those date back to even how the city itself was cut up by demographics. you had populations that were shoved into certain areas and kept their economically for a long time. the ma

meeting was organized, the breakfast was organized in the honor of and really to give counsel to rahm emanuel, the incoming chief of staff, and even before that i had had the opportunity and privilege to sit in on a couple of session that chief bolton organized with andy card and me and a couple offense the bush white house, reflecting exactly what you're saying. and we'll get to john podesta and his role in the obama administration, but i recall that breakfast vividly, and of course that was where vice president cheney, who was chief of staff to president ford, made the great statement, one of the counsel is keep an eye on your vice president. it was very generous offer on the part of josh bolton. >> guest: i thought on that remark of vice president cheney that he was referring more -- not just to himself. he was referring to his experience in the ford -- >> host: you make a very good point. >> guest: with vice president rockefeller. >> host: you make a very good point. i don't think that was taken but i think your interpretation is likely the right one. i it got got a good hearty laugh and

crime s&l getting even worse there, and the mayor, rahm emanuel, says that his own police officers couldops are scared, they're reluctant to confront potential criminals, out of fear that they may be attacked or even killed. those officers told the mayor, quote, they don't want to be a news story like so many of their fallen brothers across the country. >>> last month was chicago's deadliest month, more than a decade, 60 murders in september alone. and those are your headlines. you talk to anybody from that area and they'll tell you, what a mess crime there is in chicago. >> absolutely. >> you understand what the cops are talking about. heather, thank you very much. >>> all right, 15 minutes before the top of the hour. we've got maria molina today. >> good morning. it's a quiet picture this morning across the nation in terms of any precipitation. but we do have lingering showers across parts of the northeast. that will be increasing in coverage over the next couple of days, especially over this weekend when we could potentially also see the first snowfall of the season for many people ac

according to the washington post, chicago mayor rahm emanuel said this at a recent gathering in washington we've allowed our police department to get fetal. they've pulled back from the ability to interdict. they don't want to be a news story themselves. they don't want their career ended early and it's having an impact. vincent hill is a former national police officer. he is in atlanta tonight. vincent, is there a youtube effect and are police holding back? >> well, john, that's the million dollar question. what we definitely don't want is for police to do that. and i think as we look at society, when we look at what's going on, i'm reminded of the detective that was beaten a few weeks ago. that basically didn't fight back because of fear what the video would show. so we definitely don't want to get into an instance where police are waiting to make those split-second decisions that could either get them hurt or killed. we definitely don't want that. >> you've got to balance here because you bring up that case. on the other hand, in charleston, south carolina, the town settled $6 million a

the mayor of chicago rahm emanuel is making a very similar case telling loretta lynch that "we have allowedolice department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence. they don't want to be a news story themselves he was and don't want their career ended early and it's having an impact." >> i met with officers from the 10th district and one officer said when i'm driving by, i have to think whether i want to be on the news and what it means to my career. the recent events over the last year have had an impact. officers will tell you that. >> it is against the backdrop of this debate the international association of chiefs of police is holding their annual conference in chicago right now. yesterday they heard from james comey who reiterated his support of this theory. today they heard from president obama. while he acknowledged the spike in crime this year in some cities, he stressed the importance of not cherry picking data to promote an agenda. >> the data shows that overall violent crime rates across the nation appear to be nearly as low as they were last year. and significantly lo

, that view that fbi director james comey expressed before this group, is also shared by mayor rahm emanuel, mayor of chicago and president obama's first white house chief of staff. he's used the term that police have gone fetal after in the post-ferguson, post-baltimore world. he said that earlier this month in a way of perhaps trying to explain why september here in chicago was the deadliest month in the city in terms of homicides since 2002 with 60 homicides. kate? >> all right. john yang in chicago, we are waiting for the president and as soon as we see him, we'll bring it to you live when it happens. >>> meantime, the other develops story out of south carolina. the startling crepe phone video of a high school classroom in columbia showing a school resource officer grabbing a female student, slamming her to the ground and dragging her along the floor. federal authorities have opened a civil rights investigation into the incident now and the fbi has been asked to investigate. the officer identified as deputy ben fields is put on administrative leave. we are expecting to hear from officia

chicago mayor rahm emanuel waged a bet via twitter saying congrats bill we won in four games by the way. up for a bet, the terms included beer, pizza and donations to two nonprofit organizations. mayor de blasio is not here. he's in israel and accepted the bet. he's expected to release his terms today. now baseball is not the only rivalry between new york and chicago. there's the age old debate, which city has the pizza. new york thin crust or chicago deep dish, and then hot dogs, which one do you prefer. new york or chicago style, the meat is apparently totally different and the toppings as well. but the comparisons don't end at food. new york has 5th avenue, chicago has the michigan mile. the stretch is known for its upscale shopping and restaurants. count on eyewitness news on television and online to keep you posted as the mets march on on their road to the world series. lauren. >> thanks michelle. former nba star and queens native lamar odom is showing signs of recovering after being found unconscious at a nevada brothel. the former athlete has come out of his coma and is communica

and let me also thank our outstanding mayor of the city of chicago, rahm emanuel for hosting us. [ applause> i know that thousands of you from federal, state, county, local and tribal agencies have been working hard to share strategies and solutions to better serve and protect all of us, and we are profoundly grateful for your work. i do hope that you've gotten a little time to enjoy my hometown as well. because there is fun to be had here. somebody claps. [ laughter ] >> now even as we meet here today, though, another gathering of police is taking place in new york. randolph holder was born in guyana to a family of police officers. his dad was a police officer, his grandfather was a police officer, and after his family came to america, randolph followed in their footsteps and joined new york's finest. a week ago today, a shots fired call came over the radio, and as officer holder chased down a suspect, he was shot and killed in the line of duty. officer holder didn't run toward danger because he thought of himself as a hero. he ran toward danger because he was a cop. it is part of his job

rahm emanuel, the mayor of chicago has just conceded that because of the so-called ferguson effect, the officers are pulling back because they're afraid of being accused of police brutality and racial profiling, crime has gone up. and the victims are disproportionately black people. the same people that the black lives care movement claims they care about. >> that's why black lives matter actually hurts themselves by not agreeing with you and saying all lives matter and bring it together. >> that's a political candidate. >> then what are we arguing about, juan? >> the victimhood with a list of grievances that do not exist. >> thank you all for being with us. >>> after last night's lackluster performance by the democrats, should crazy uncle joe be considering getting in the race?

did you see rahm emanuel jump in there? and i'm disgusted with this. these people getting shot. well, they're not getting shot with nra guns. they're getting shot with illegal guns. you want to jump ugly, let's jump ugly with the illegal guns on our streets. of these supposedly safe cities. maybe if there is more people with carry permits in chicago, maybe there would be less killings. >> how about we put former detectives like yourself in schools. you hire jobs, the kids are safe in the classroom, and these people know that they're going to be challenged if they go on one of these rampages. >> we all know one thing. if there was somebody who was on their security personnel, if he had done his job properly, the shot count would have been down. they would have reacted to it immediately. >> lives would have been saved. >> people's lives would have been said. >> i agree with you. >> let's say this crazy could have gotten gasoline. he could have killed people other way. >> there is a million ways. >> to use the gun and gun control at this stage is very irr

. >> i do believe it was rahm emanuel who said never let a good tragedy go it waste. i feel his visit is completely to support his gun control agenda. i can't understand why he wouldn't make a mention of the families and the victims. i mean, he did say it was a tragic incident. i do thank him for lowering the flags. but he made it all about gun control. he was very clear about that. we saw this in sandy hook and now again and i just question his motives. i've spoken to my family and for myself and daughter and son, on principle, i find that i am in disagreement with his policies on gun control. therefore, we will not be attending the visit. >> this from the father of anna boylan who was on her fourth day of school there who was shot. five vertebrae were shattered. she was flown to the high level hospital and made it out alive. >> so far, about 2,000 people have signed up to protest the president's visit which should be private out in oregon. >> stephen colbert has a late night show about four blocks up. he had a chance to sit down with bill clinton. you used to do a l

martha: we heard from rahm emanuel in chicago.ne, he felt some police officers in chicago because of huge homicide rates there, were in the fetal position and because there has been backlash against police officers that in some cities they have reports are some of them have backed off. clearly officer holder did not back off. he ran right toward the danger last night. and he lost his life. >> yeah, absolutely. when i first moved to new york, actually this is the neighborhood i lived in and i was very happy to see police officers around there keeping me safe. when you have little specific incidents where tragic things happen, we have all the protests we can't forget every single day police officers put themselves at risk willingly, something like this happening to keep us safe. so not supporting full lit fact they're doing that is ridiculous and we should see more anger over things like this. >> let me say this about this particular police officer, he was immigrant from guyana i understand. was third generation police officer. this
