one area where i think national and state policy should unite with local policy is wearing masks in public. to me, wearing a mask in public is no different than being forced to wear a seatbelt. i hear a lot of people that say it is an infringement on our liberty, we should have freedom to do as we please, and my response is, this is a country of laws. you are free to do as you please, but you are not free to run a red light. you are not free to run a stop sign. you are not free to not put on a seatbelt. require byhings we sort of a social contract. so that there's order in our society. see more would like to national leadership on the masks and more state leadership on the mask issue? mayor suarez: yeah. to me it is not a question of calling anybody out per se. it is more that i think there should be policy. this is good for everyone. if all the medical experts are recommending it, i don't see the big difference in recommending it and mandating it, particularly when it is so influential in the increase rate. >> we have a few minutes before audience questions and i want to talk about school

the city so it is a compaq it is situation so that includes having offshore entities rather than local unitslement the sanctions. but still, that could bring little relief since the hong kong legislation also claims extraterritorial rights, which is likely to be a main point of legal contention. retail and corporate banks with big presences in hong kong such as citigroup and hsbc could also be more exposed to the risks from the bills, especially on sizable transactions done through local units. banks as well including citigroup, goldman, j.p. morgan, are walking this tightrope between the u.s. and china, given their operations in hong kong and their ambitious plans for china this year. hsbc is especially under fire after voicing support for china's security law under intense pressure because of its very dominant role in hong kong. we have also learned that global banks are reviewing their client base to try and identify people who may be exposed to sanctions under the u.s. at and look over agreements to make sure they have clauses that allow them to ditch customers without penalty. in beijin

local d.a. can have access to a president's tax information through his accounting firm while the congress of the unitedtes cannot, every, you know local d.a. in the country could persecute a president, a sitting president. it is mindless. your thoughts? >> well, i can tell you obviously we're in a different branch and not as free to express our personal opinions as you might there but i can say this. lou: right. >> this was nothing more than setting up a fishing expedition for every local d.a. across the country. i would call it the presidential harrassment decision. if you look at it, on its face, as they remanded it back to a lower courts, hopefully we'll see a little bit different opinion coming out of that. they did put in a few caveats would say you just can't harass the president. but you and i both know that is what congress has been doing. that is how this originated. it is amazing how -- lou: that is all congress has been doing. >> they're not passing anything that matters to moms, dads, aunts and uncles on main street. what they're really doing is about trying to affect the november elections

will depend whether the european strategy, which replicates some of what we saw on the united states of localized lockdowns will hold. one of the problems facing policymakers, the national governments not just in the u.k. but across europe is a lot of the schemes they introduce incomes and businesses have been across the country. if you localized lockdowns you have a target with the federal government largely being the lever. you see a quarter three or quarter four could part-time indicators or whether we get more economic damages started. guy: boris johnson addressed this issue earlier on, let's take a listen. pm johnson: i will not stand by and allow this virus to cause more pain and more heartache in our country. we should squeeze that brake pedal in order to keep the virus under control. boris johnson speaking a little earlier on. they were done very quickly overnight. and extending the quarantine rules here as well showing symptoms of covid. we will be dealing with influenza, you'll be dealing with covid-19. it will be very clear that it will take a much more speedy approach to locking. a fu

they are trying to dismiss him as president of the united states with these ridiculous rulings in which they would allow a localistrict attorney to prosecute a sitting president of the united states. that is idiotic, absolutely idiotic, and there is no basis whatsoever in either law or reason to have come to that conclusion. only one reason, and that has everything to do with politics. president trump today also railing against corrupt members of the obama administration. they were caught spying on his 2016 campaign, they were caught spying on his presidency. they have yet to face any form of accounting or justice. and he tweeted this in part: we have a totally corrupt previous administration including a president and vice president who spied on my campaign and got caught, and nothing happens to them. this crime was taking place even before my election. everyone knows it, yet all are frozen stiff with fear. u.s. attorney john durham leading the investigation of the origins of spygate, obamagate, and fox news reports today he is also facing heightened pressure to finish his investigation by the end of the summer

local piggly wiggly. they live among us, too. i have these two sides battling. when you have people being sent in by the president of the uniteds, secretary wolf, to chicago, how will they work together with the local police there? give us an example of how this could work. >> sure, absolutely. when we talk about chicago or albuquerque, some of the announcements made yesterday, the department of justice and operation legend is focused on something very different than what's going on in portland. i think that's important to recognize. we are talking about in chicago is that criminal activity we see in the streets, whether it's gang crime, illicit narcotics and drug crime and the like. the deponent of justice, dea, fbi, and others come along with the department of homeland security, are working on those criminal investigations and criminal activities every day. they do that locally with law enforcement. i think that will continue to operate pretty well. kansas city has had operation legend up and running for over two weeks, and we've had great results thus far. when we talk about poor linda, we talk about a community and a city

he's weakened the entire judicial process of the united states as local authorities and fbi and sheriffse to renegotiate how they conduct the business of the law when they know william barr can try to change things if it doesn't sit with what the president wants. >> i want to give you a two part question. stone, that's roger stone versus cohen under the trump administration. if you don't speak about potus, you go free. versus if you seek so speak, that would be cohen, who testified before congress, you go to jail. ckudoes to the judge for callin it out. i really mean this. there may be private conduct that i don't know about that doesn't fit this mold but everything public facing is barr functioning essentially as an extrajudicial fixer for trump. it's driving out career prosecutors over the flynn sentence. driving out career prosecutors over the stone handling. leaking to the press that he was against the commutation but i think he is still there. i think my phone would have flashed. it's suing mary trump. it's sending michael cohen to jail for seeking to write his book. where is the sc
