Im about this and this is all just here on live from doha also coming up egypts president ones libyas u. N. Recognize government against trying to retake the strategic city of sirte and orders his army to be ready for missions in libya. Convicted of corruption a high profile congolese politician is sentenced to 20 years hard labor in prison. Donald trump has been addressing a smaller than expected crowd in the u. S. City of tulsa with the president held his 1st major public rally since the Coronavirus Crisis began trump used his 1st appearance to attack his political opponents critics of his handling of the pandemic and black lives matter protesters. What americans are watching left wing radicals burned down buildings. Destroyed. Private property here hundreds of dedicated Police Officers. These Police Officers they get injured they dont complain theyre incredible and e. G. Thousands upon thousands of people only do you hear the radical vague say what a beautiful rally it was. And his comments of out of control over see falling on juneteenth weekend which celebrates the emancipation of black slaves as follows weeks of anti racism protests across america and the world in response to the Police Killing of george floyd theres also a Health Warning with officials concerned the indoor rally could spread the coronavirus oklahoma recorded its highest a 7 day average of new infections in the past week although it comes a political analyst hes joining us live from washington d. C. By skype thank you so much for being with us as always eric im much of an impact are these low numbers going to have on donald trump. Well this is a president who desperately needed to change the narrative and many within his orbit his campaign his White House Administration thought that this rally this evening would be just what President Donald Trump needed to reshape the narrative to energize his lagging poll numbers to give him a leg given that the president has been hit with so many different crises at this moment and what we see tonight coming out of this event the president is going to have to deal with the narrative of lower than expected turnout the numbers that did not add up and again remember this is a president since his inauguration has been obsessed with crowd size and tonight he did not get it and the question now becomes how does the president find a way to get back on footing to get back into a place where he is at least somewhat competitive with Vice President joe biden given the coverage that you seen whats your interpretation of why people were not turning up in the numbers that the Top Administration had really hoped for. Well President Donald Trump prior to even getting elected him has always been very effective at turning the narrative to what he wanted it to be and allowing it to benefit his own goals in his own vision both of himself and what he wanted to achieve tonight that simply did not happen oklahoma is a state that seeing rising 19 cases and that simply i think scared many people off from attending this event and this can only be the beginning because in just a few days President Donald Trump is going again into the eye of the perennial storm hes heading to arizona for another rally where we know since the memorial day weekend here in the United States arizona has seen a rise in kobe 1000. 00 cases of 95 percent and phoenix alone they are saying hospitalization rates up 75 percent thats what president is going to give his next rally and its going to be very difficult for the president to actually see those numbers groundswell of people turning out forming over him hanging on his every word again i think what youre going to see is a president who is desperately trying to shake the narrative that somehow kobe 19 has moved on its no longer with us and he has won but again the narrative continues to show that kobe 19 is still very much a play a pandemic on the United States and the only way for the president to get around this is to actually confront it and defeat it of course weve also seen weeks of protests against racism in the us. In the run up to the election erick which of bees issues is going to be greater and is going to be a defining moment if you like for the trumpet ministration is it going to be coronavirus or is it going to be racism in the us. I think what the president is dealing with right now is the perfect storm the president is still reeling from a kobe 19 outbreak that is only getting worse and even though the numbers tonight simply were not what the president expected there is still a concern a deep worry that those many thousands of people that are in that stadium tonight not only could be carriers but also could spread this virus throughout the country and that is something that the president is going to have to confront in addition to that as we look at all of the demonstrations over the last 25 days that occur and you see the just the enormous crowds many are going to look at this president look at whats taking place and began to wonder if fact if this president cannot draw audiences in deep red oklahoma no less does that mean that people simply are tuning out his message does it mean that the president simply its an effectual at leaving the country out of both of these crises and remember not only is it just a confluence of a pandemic and social and civil unrest but the president is still dealing with an economy thats at recession perhaps even Great Depression levels and right now there is still no no no sense that this president can grapple or addressed either of these crisis let alone all 3 at one time good to get your thoughts on this is always out of town thank you very much indeed. One of new yorks top federal prosecutors has agreed to step down after a standoff with the u. S. Attorney general Geoffrey Burman had initially refused to resign vying to continue his corruption investigations into people close to the u. S.

C. Is. From bolton was President Trumps 3rd National Security adviser and had a front row seat to some of the administrations most sensitive then perhaps controversial decisions now hes set to release a book about what he witnessed and its not good reading for the white house thats why it tried to stop the books publication but a federal judge has now ruled that while bolton had gambled with National Security the administration had not shown how it would suffer harm if the publication of the book went ahead and he refused to grant an emergency injunction the phrase used by the judge was the horse is out of the barn he also indicated the Administration May have had greater success if it had brought the injunction at the time that john bolton allegedly walked away from the review process and before the widespread publication of quotations from the book its been a rocky few days for the attorney general william barr and his Justice Department late friday he tried to demote the prosecutor of new yorks powerful Southern District court.

For 30 hours a. Week.
