President said. Reporter the president went through an array of news. The incredible innovations that weve developed with the greatest labs and the greatest specifically on the topic of doctors in the world and they can use them instead of being ecigarettes, the president calling on the fda to get forced to move and leave to involved. He was joined by health and other countries that dont have Human Services secretary alex a clue compared to us. Now they have right to try. Azar who also had some comments by the way, a lot of people are about ecigarettes. Being saved. We know this is something first a lot of great things are Lady Melania Trump has focused happening with right to try. What weve done for the vets, on in the past. The president potentially what weve done for our great putting out regulations to keep military with spending this year children from using ecigarettes which have been linked to a number of deaths in recent days. 718 billion. By the way thats also jobs. We also should point out the president had some very strong second daryl words about his former National Securityyesterday. The president at one point saying bolton held the administration back when it came secondarily but thats what to making a deal with north weve done. Our country is respected again. Korea. Reporters in the room [ inaudible question ] i have five people that want specifically saying that the president apparently referenced a conversation that bolton had in the room with kim jongun in which bolton referenced the libya model of denuclearization, that apparently setting kim it very much. Good people. Jongun back according to ive gotten to know them over President Trump. Trump saying that bolton had a the last three years. Series of failures, that he well be announcing somebody didnt get along with very many next week but we have some very people. Highly qualified people. But we were set back very badly the president saying he had a Good Relationship with him, also when john bolton talked about the libyan model. Mentioning that several people want that job. And he made a mistake. He mentioned five people as soon as he mentioned that, complaining for the position, the libyan model, what a though he wouldnt give disaster. Take a look at what happened to specifics. I want to bring in kate gaddafi with the libyan model. Bennett. The first lady was there. And hes using that to make a vaping is one of the topics. Deal with north korea. I dont blame kim jongun for what he said after that. This week she tweeted that shes been deeply concerned and he wanted nothing to do with about the news with vaping. John bolton. She considers it an on ramp for thats not a question of being tough. Thats a question of being not children for smoking and other smart to Say Something like causes shes concerned about. Part of her be best platform that. Helping kids involves health and so i wish john the best. We actually got along very well. Wellness of children. She spoke about it earlier this year. She was at a Youth Conference in i imagine hell do what he can maryland where she again brought up vaping. Do to spin it his way. I have been on trips with her john came to see me the night with medical professionals and before. I think a lot of you people were secretary azar at other places out there waiting for me to get talking about the challenges of on the helicopter. Drugs and drinking and other and he sat right in that chair. Things affecting kids. I told him, john, you have too she has often been the one to many people, youre not getting talk at vaping. Along with people and a lot of we do not talk about children of the first couple off, but us disagree with some of your considering the fact that barron tactics and some of your ideas. I wish you well but id like you to submit your resignation. Trump is 13 years old, vaping is and he did that. I know hes going to do well. A concern among children in i hope hes going to do well and middle school and high school. I wish him well. I cant imagine this is an issue what are you prepared to she would overlook. As these deaths increase, she announce on guns, on background has been very vocal. Checks . Press secretary stephanie gri i just spoke with senator toomey and senator murphy and senator joe manchin, just had a grishom told us today that this long talk with them just before this meeting. We are working very very hard is something the first lady has discussed with the president and together all of us and well see other members of his candidate. If we can come up with something knowing how quickly this thats acceptable to everybody. Announcement came today, how unexpected it was, i would imagine she had a hand in its a subject that has been creating this decision today to going on forgt background make an announcement to discuss the banning of flavored checks and putting everything together in a unified way so we ecigarettes. Which obviously target children. Can have something thats when you look at this issue, it meaningful. All of us want to protect our great second amendment. Is very important and significant that the first lady its very important to all of has elevated it and now that it us. So we are now in meetings. Has been elevated even more with the meetings are going to go on these Public Comments today. Tonight. Im going to speak with them how important is that . Again tomorrow. And also what could the i think progress is being made. I hope so. President do to really tackle are you handgun to put background checks on all private this crisis . Its absolutely important. Gun sales . You know, weve seen throughout well be reporting back in a history that when the first lady is very, very concerned about fairly short period of time. There are a lot of things under something, it of course will have an impact on her husband. Discussion. Some things will never happen heres the catch. And some very meaningful things you cant just feel this. Can happen. You have to actually do its really gun sense if you something about it. Think about it. We havent heard exactly what maybe thats what we should call trump said today about vaping, it, the gun sense bill. But we heard he is calling on the fda to get involved. Well, the fda is involved. But were having great dialogue. The question is, are they going well see what happens. Did you tell your chief of to take that crucial step of saying, hey, juul, get those staff to disavow those forecasters who said that flavored pods off the market. Alabama no, i never did that. Thats whats attracting kids. Thats a whole hoax by the fake the kid are attracted to these news media when they talk about the hurricane and they talk about florida and alabama. Thats just fake news. Right from the beginning it was sweet and candidayish flavors a a fake story. All the marketing done to children. Are they going to tell juul, while were here and while were talking about that, i want to stop it. Congratulate dan bishop last you can be as concerned and night on an incredible win. Worried as you want, but if you dont do something, its not he was 17 points behind three going to work. Weeks ago. On that note, a white house the media thought he was going official is telling me that to lose. They were all set to have a big there is a plan to ban flavored celebration with their partners from the democrat party. Ecigarettes. This might be that move from dan bishop worked really hard concern to actual action to get and i worked really hard with him. He made up a 17point lead in a these kid targeted flavors off the market completely. Few weeks and he won a great im sure this will come as some sort of surprise to juul and election last night. And greg murphy won a great Congressional Election in north these other industries that make carolina last night. These products. But my sources telling me moving i want to congratulate between dan and greg what a job they towards a ban is what todays did. We picked up two seats and greg discussion was about. That will be a rude was anticipated to win by two or awakening. If that is this huge effective three points, maybe less. Move, thats going to be a rude and he won by many, many points. Awakening to these companies. I dont know what the final tab is, but he won by a lot. Absolutely. He campaigned brilliantly and that would be a big move if thats what theyre doing. Dan campaigned brilliantly. Thank you so much to both of were very happy about that. You. And of course, this day thats a tremendous win for the republican party. Marks 18 years since september 11th and the current president of the United States is facing a now that john bolton is gone, mine field of Foreign Policy challenges and tests. Is your policy on venezuela an abrupt end to peace talks in going to change . We have a policy on venezuela afghanistan where the u. S. Has been at war since just after thats a firm policy. 9 11, theres nuclear venezuelas really hurting and were trying to help people in a maneuvering in iran, nuclear humanitarian way. Defiance in north korea, a trade thats probably not good in war with china, revolt in hong terms of crushing a terrible kong, chaos in the u. K. Yet his National Security team is in disarray. The president is moving onto his regime, but you have people dying. Fourth National Security advisor this is a country that 15 years in less than three years after ago was one of the wealthiest countries and now its dying. They dont have water, food, suddenly firing john bolton medical, nothing. So were trying to help as much which is a firing that those inside the white house may not as we can. Were also working with have been as surprised by as it seems. Colombia. The leader of colombia is a this is the end of a combative relationship that really began on boltons first day. A white house official telling friend of mine and hes doing a cnn bolton has been concerned really good job. Were working with colombia, that trump caves to dictators brazil, with other countries on and gives them too much and that a humanitarian basis. President trumps camp david venezuela is in very sad shape. Invite to the taliban just days that shows you about socialism. Before 9 11 and boltons outright rejection of it was that shows you what happens. Really the last straw here. You take a country that was so as the president mar healthy 15 years ago and today attacks at the pentagon, he they dont have water or basic issued a warning to the taliban food. After scrapping peace talks with no, i disagreed with john bolton them earlier this week. On his attitudes on venezuela. We had peace talks scheduled i thought he was way out of line and i think ive proven to be a few days ago. I called them off when i learned right. Would you be open to meeting that they had killed a great maduro . I dont want to talk about american soldier from puerto rico and 11 other innocent that. Are you concerned that the people. They thought they would use this companies that were making these attack to show strength, but products will be treated actually what they showed is unfairly by taking these unrelenting weakness. Products off the market . And if for any reason they come theyve been very rich back to our country, we will go companies very fast. Wherever they are and use power the whole thing with vaping has the likes of which the united been very profitable. States has never used before. I am joined now by james clapper, the former director of i fight for our companies very hard. National intelligence under thats why im fighting the president obama. And it was years after retiring china and other countries. As a three star general in the if you look at the European Air Force that you reentered union and japan and so many others including south korea and government. It just so happened two days after 9 11, already in the works many others, were constantly to join an intel agency that was dealing with them to make it good for our companies. Key in the war on terror. I view it as jobs. I wonder for you what is on your mind today 18 years after the i view it as income for our attacks . I think like everyone whos country and jobs. We cant allow people to get old enough, the events of that day are indelible. Sick and we cant have our youth i remember exactly where i was be so affected. And what i was doing when i thats kwhie thow the first lad first learned of the attacks. I think what really brought it involved. Weve got a son together that is home to me in a very impact full a beautiful young man and she way was when i saw the pentagon feels very, very strongly about on fire, a place i spent about it. 13 years of my active duty time. Shes seen it. Were both reading it. A love of people are reading it that was quite profound for me. But people are dying with i happened to be in arnold, vaping. So were looking at it very closely. This is a conference thats going to let people know about it because parents are going to missouri, at the time of the be a lot tougher with respect to attack and with a couple other their children. A lot of people think vaping is people drove back that night. Because you couldnt fly obviously. No. Wonderful. All the flights were grounded. Its really not wonderful. You couldnt find any rent a cars either. Its got big problems. We common deandeered a voeehicl we have to find out the extent of the problem. Its so new but were going to find out. I hope parents who have children a certain age, i hope theyre going to be able to make wise decisions. But the commissioner and alex the pool. It feels like it was not that long ago. Its pretty unbelievable that azar are going to be coming back its been 18 years. I do want to talk to you about in a cou weeks with some our news about john bot olton. Very strong recommendations. Can you tell us what the sources telling cnn that trump timeline is for taking those off the market . Believed bolton caved to it will take several weeks dictators. For us to put out the final i assume you agree with that. I dont know that id use the guidance that would announce all word cave, but hes certainly the parameters around the enforcement policy. Then there will be a 30day effective date. At that point all flavored did i have fr deferential to kim jongun. What does it say about the ecigarettes other than tobacco departure of john bolton making it clear that that kind of flavor would have to be removed differing of opinion is not from the market. Welcome in this position in the white house. Theres going to be another National Security advisor soon. The other flavored product manufacturers can at any time what does that say about knowing you cant disagree with him like also file but they would be off this . Well, the first point is john the market until approved by fda. The Obama Administration had boltons convictions about these allowed these products to go things were widely known certainly before he took the onto the market in an job. So it makes you wonder why this unregulated way by delaying any enforcement in the hopes that arrangement ever came to pass in the first place. People who are using combustible i think the way this administration is taking these toe whabacco would transition t key jobs, its kind of like parttime help at the post less harmful delivery of office at christmas time and its probably not a good idea to nicotine through ecigarettes. As the data shows, the kids are hang a lot of pictures up in getting access to these products your office because if you fall out of favor, youre gone. Despite our best efforts. We havent heard from john bolton publicly about his criticism of the president s decision. Weve only heard from him about whether he was fired or we simply have to remove these resigned. Obviously were hearing a lot of sources around him defending him. We know what he thinks. Attractive flavored products we know where he was in this from the marketplace. Disagreement. Is it fair for a president to mr. President , are you have these kinds of looking at arranging a meeting disagreements aired . Well, i dont know if its fair. With iranian president rouhani. I mean, i think probably most president s would prefer that internal disagreements not be aired, but inevitably in this two and a half years ago they town, you know, no secrets. Were given a lot of money by president obama. So there ayre undoubtedly goin 1. 8 billion in actual cash. Get out. Its very impressive. Actually disagreements in my view are healthy. But they are a much different i think the president needs to country right now than they were 2 1 2 years ago when i came into hear contraryian views. If you disagree with the office. I do believe theyd like to make president and you let that be a deal. If they do thats great and if known but the president decides they dont thats great too. To proceed with a decision, is but they have tremendous it the role of his advisor that financial difficulty and the they should execute a decision even though he disagrees with ang sanctions are getting tougher and tougher. We cannot let iran have a it . I think that and being a nuclear weapon. If theyre thinking about military guy, once a decision is enrichment, they can forget about it. Made, you need to either support it and get aboard or if you its going to be very very cant live with the decision, dangerous for them to enrich. Theres another alternative, you can spread the word to iran. Which is leave. Would you consider easing you know, thats kind of sanctions to make a meeting traditional thinking. Happen . Well see what happens. I think thats in the military i think iran and north korea and as a civilian and in the have potential. I think iran has a tremendous, government that same is true. Imt want to talk about thisw tremendous potential. Theyre incredible people. Were not looking for regime reporting that we have that the u. S. Extracted a top russian y change. We hope that we can make a deal. If we cant make a deal, thats spy. Were told this is direct access fine too. To putin. But i think they have to make a thats what it was, so closely deal. Theyve never been in this that this asset could probably condition. China is having the worst year take pictures of documents on theyve had now in 37 57 putins desk. Do you think that the president would have been aware of specifics about this be . Would he have known who this was years. And known exactly where they its only going to get worse. I think they want to make a deal were. I dont know. He could have. Too. Theyre coming in sometime in by the way, i cant confirm, early october and were speaking deny or any of this so just to them constantly. Speaking generically, the and they also made a couple of president has the authority over the right as he characters it, moves last night that were to ask about anything of an pretty good. Which moves are those . They were pretty respectful intelligence nature. So he certainly could have. To our people. Thats typically not done. Youre going to see it because you were one of the people that reported it, your group. Also its certainly sounder china is about having to do with security practice not to talk tariffs. You saw what they did. About these things in any environment. He said that he doesnt they took tariffs off certain things, a lot of things. Really like spies, human sources, right . Human sources providing and queuere happyoure happ . Intelligence about other i think it was a gesture, governments. He feels like it gets in the way okay, but it was a big move. Of relations with that country even for theyre a foe, that it people were shocked. I wasnt shocked. Gets in the way of his ability but i deal with them and i know to have relationships with the im going to like them and i hope we can do something. Leaders. What do you think about that . With respect to iran, i think he made that position known they have to do something to us in the obama because they have potential to administration. Sir, if i can pause with you, have an unbelievably great lets listen to President Trump country but the way its going in the oval office. Right now its disintegrating. The talks with the taliban are dead. North korea has tremendous je jeff. What led you to decide to potential. Its in between russia, china part ways with mr. Bolton . And south korea. So john is somebody that i its incredible people. Actually get along with very they have this truly well. He made some very big mistakes unbelievable potential. I think they want to get to it. When he talked about the libyan well see what happens. Maybe they do and maybe they wont. Model for kim jongun, that was youre going to just see. Not a good statement to make. But i really believe that north you just take a look at what korea would like to see happened with gaddafi. Something tremendous happen. That was not a good statement to this could be one of the most make. And it set us back. And frankly he wanted to do unbelievable you look at a things not necessarily tougher than me. Johns known as a tough guy. Country in terms of upside. Hes so tough he got us into this could be one of the most n iraq. Thats tough. Unbelievable experiments ever, but hes somebody that i actually had a very good north korea. Iran can get back to business. Relationship with, but he wasnt they can do unbelievably well. Getting along with people in the administration that i consider very important. This is a meeting that gets off i hope weve left in good stead, a little track because you ask us questions about other things. But maybe we have and maybe we i think were better off havent. I have to run the country the answering them than not. Way were running the country. But we are looking at vaping were doing very well. Very strongly. Its very dangerous. Were respected all over the world again, respected like we havent been respected in many, children are dhave died, people many years. You look at iran and so many of died. And the acting commissioner is the things that are happening. Somebody thats a true expert on iran wants to talk. They all want to talk. It as much as you can be an were doing very well with expert on a brand new subject. China. Were going to have some very you probably saw the numbers that have come out and come out strong rules, regulations and some of them just today. More importantly were going to but the supply chain is breaking have some information coming out up, the supply chain of china quickly. Thank you very much. This was this unbreakable powerful tool that they had is thank you, everybody. Breaking up like a toy, because that was the president companies are moving out and talking in the oval office there just moments ago. China wants to make a deal. This was about 20 minutes that well see what happens. We have to make the right deal for this country. He was talking. Chinas been taking out hundreds john bolton, his kreently fired of billions of dollars a year out of our country. National security advisor. He said that bolton, it was i read papers like the wall really the fact that he was street journal. They dont have a clue. They havent got a clue. Talking about the libyan model they dont make any excuses for for north korea and he said that the fact that china has been really set them back. He also said that bolton was not literally ripping off the United States in the worst manner for getting along with people in the so many years. Administration he considers very important. 500 billion pouring out of the he also talked about north carolina. United states. He said they picked up two house i hear people i dont even seats. No republicans did not. Know. Do these people have any education on anything . These were republican seats. Its common sense maybe more than anything else. But i look at some statements he talked about vaping and the that are made from so many dangers of vaping. Different people. You know, john wasnt in line with what we were doing and actually in some cases he there did appear to be some thought it was too tough what we announcement there by the fda were doing. Mr. Tough guy. And the Trump Administration in you know, you have to go into general that theyre going to do iraq. Something. Going into iraq was something were looking for some more that he felt very strongly details on that but it appears about. So were right now in for over theyre really targeting those 7 trillion into the middle flavor pods. East. Then he was talking about dwgun. I dont say it was his decision. You had a president and you had other people also but he was very out there, i can tell you, and wanting to have them do it. As hes racie i raising this is i disagreed with that decision from the beginning even though i was a civilian so nobody cared vaping where six people have but i was there. I was outspoken about it. Died, 1343 gun deaths just last i thought it was a terrible mistake. Here we are decades later and year in child deaths. Were still there and weve been i have to talk about these acting as policemen. Myriad of topics here. I tell you one thing. We are hitting the taliban right now harder than theyve ever lets talk about john bolton been hit. What they did was horrible. First. The president saying he hoped when they killed a great their were parti inin ining on american soldier, when they killed 12 people, innocent people, essentially innocent terms. John bolton in his exit has people because if you look, i y made it cheer that hes not going to be silent. We wont see a polite jim mattis addition to our greatng stance, situati situation. He signalled that hes going to push back and preserve what he thinks is his reputation as he l leaves. John bolton stepped on a lot of toes in the white house. Particularly this issue of look like he was helping direct the policy instead of the president making those decisions. I think across the administration there were a lot of people who werent big fans of john bolton. Certainly Mike Mike Pompeo is. I dont think he and mnuchins smiles could have gotten bigger during that press conference. I want to talk about guns first with you jackie. Hes talking up these bipartisan talks. Hes saying something about a fwun sense bill. Where does that really stand right now. The president seeps like he does not have any real effort to put behind for meaningful change although you have the vast majority of americans want more done with background checks. He just had this meeting to talk about their background checks bill. Well believe it when we see it. Weve seen this dance before. Everyone is just waiting to see what the president will endorse. Mitch mcconnell says that. The president has real power here to move this issue if he wants to. He could give republicans cover in a way, political cover in a way that no one else can. Its hard for me to think that the base would rebel against the president. Perhaps they would if he rallied for some of these background checks. Its clearly the calculation hes making. So vaping is going up. Six deaths in the u. S. Now. Parents very worried because cleanly this is going to target children. It sounds as if theres going to be a real move here to implement from the hhs and the fda to ban flavored ecigs. It sounds like it might take some time to add some guidelines and parameters and then there was a 30day period. It sounds like the flavored cigarettes are actually going to be gone. I think a lot of this has to do with the first Lady Melania Trump, who has made vaping part of her bebest platform of helping children. When she gets involved rngs thi things tend to happen. President trump just brought up his son barron whos 13 years old. Clearly vaping and favored cigarettes is something happening with youth and kids in high school. This has become something for her, for Melania Trump that is of major importance. And i think we saw that today. This is something concerning so many parents at this point in time. Does this sound like the step that is needed to tack this will issue . It it sounds like the first step. The first step is you say were going to take these off the market. That could take a couple weeks. Theres a second part of it that i have some questions about which is then those same companies that take these flavored pods off the ap may to p apply to put them back on the market. Why should they be allowed to put them on the market. What purpose do these flavored pods serve and how easy will it be to get approval. Certainly a good first step to take them off the market. Now, another point to keep in mind here is that tobacco flavored ecigarette pods. For those unfamiliar with vaping you can put it in and it can have a variety of flavors. Tobacco pods are not being taken off the market. Some people say thats a good thing because people use that to quit cigarettes. Hopefully this really does have an impact. It feels like it would because what kids love are those fruity flavors. Clearly this is something so many parents would love if its meaningful. Elizabeth raised the questions about that. Its just you cant miss it. The reason for why hes talking about vaping is to save the lives of children and then hes talking about guns. And its not substantive that we can tell at this point in time what hes talking about. So many more kids die every year pause of guns. I cited that number in 2018. Most of those were homicides. Part of the reason is the gun lobby is very powerful. More powerful than the cigarette lobby. Ecigarettes. When this was coming down the pike a lot of those companies didnt know about the speed. K street, if youve been in d. C. It is awash in money from e cigarette companies. They dont have the political left in the country. Politicians are loathe to challenge them. I want to talk to Boris Sanchez there at the white house. The president was asked pointblank about this story that actually he had asked why his chief of staff to tell noaa that actually not to take i mean, you explain this to us. Its context right. President trump was saying alabama was in the path of the storm and this whole thing surfaced. Reporter as we were watching the president give these remarks, the acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney had a conversation with commerce secretary wilbur ross about those tweets send out by the National Weather service in birmingham, alabama, that contradicted what President Trump said about Hurricane Dorian. He said that the people of alabama should hunker down because the effects of Hurricane Dorian are going to be worse than thought. He fweeted that out at a time when the hurricane model has shifted. He wasnt going anywhere near alabama. Then wilbur ross called noahand threatened to fire staff. Now theres reporting that indicates that may have originated here at the white house. The president was asked about it. The president said that he knows something about that, that he didnt direct mulvaney to do that. He called the story a hoax. If you along at when he sent that tweet that Hurricane Dorian was not just before the debate joebjoe bidens campaign taking shots at Elizabeth Warren and her plans. Yesss, im doing it all. The water.

Moments ago former president george w. Bush, former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and mark esper marked the anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Mr. Bush placed a wreath on the pentagon memorial. All three stood together as taps played to commemorate the solemn occasion. My next guest ran to ground zero 18 years ago today to help rescue efforts and served afterwards as part of the national guard. Paul, thank you so much for joining us on this day. My pleasure. Tell us what its like to stand there in a very different setting, but this is the same place where you stood nearly two decades ago. Its surreal, to be honest with you. To feel it come full circle this many years later and to have this tower behind me is a bit surreal. I tried to do what we could to try to step up to help others. Theres a lot of reflection about the loss and we definitely should reflect on the folks we lost but we also and the people that stepped up on that day including folks where im standing over my shoulder is battery tunnel where firefighter Stephen Siller left his truck and ran up into the towers as they fell. Im always reminded by that heroism and hope thats what especially the younger folks remember about that time and provide inspiration for the future. I will say i think of the Beautiful Moments of that day more now as time has passed, as it used to be, and still is, of course, you think of the horror of that day, but you do remember these Amazing Stories of americans just putting themselves in harms way. On this week, this is a very important week. So i wonder what your reaction was when you heard that the president had plans to host taliban leaders at camp david this past weekend . Its ridiculous. Its outrageous, insulting. Its beyond tone deaf. I mean, really i think it jeopardizes our foreign standing, and i think really just showed we say never forget. Looks like the president forgot. Right now we have folks in afghanistan. Recorded an interview with my podcast of a soldier in afghanistan and theyre taking mortar fire, theyre overseas and i think forgotten. The lessons of 9 11 are forgotten, came together in unity, the whole world behind us and many First Responders there they day. Thousands now struggling with Health Impacts from being exposed as ground zero. We fought tooth and nail to get extension of the Victims Compensation fund just a couple of months ago. The president have forgotten and many have forgotten and i hope folks take that energy and spirit and dont forget and use it as a positive driver forward far beyond the politics. One time in my lifetime politics went away and we were united as americans. Capture that again, and it can drive us forward in the future. We cannot forget. Thank you so much. Thank you, brianna. A picture from the 90 surfaces showing the acting commissioner in philadelphia wearing a shirt joking about the beating of rodney king and lapd officers and now there are calls for her to resign. Applebees handcrafted burgers now starting at 7. 99. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood tennis ball hit now sta tennis ball hit tennis ball hit tennis ball hit tennis ball hit crowd cheering tennis ball hit tennis ball hit tennis ball hit hey. You must be stevens phone. Now you can know whos on your network and control who shouldnt be, only with xfinity xfi. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Pressure mounting for the acting police chief in philadelphia to step down from her post and that is because of this unearthed photo from the 90s which shows Christine Coulter in a tshirt that says lapd we treat you like a king. A slogan making light of the Brutal Police beating of rodney king caught on tame. Coulter immediately apologized at yesterdays City Council Meeting and had no idea the shirt packed a racist message. City Council Member cindy bask is joining me now. You want her to step down. You were not buying the denial. Tell me why. Well, i dont think theres any its inconceivable she had no idea, no clue when this incident occurred. It received International Coverage back in 1991. In 1992 as we all know there was a very wellpublicized trial and acquittal, a riot. There was a loss of life after, as result of that riot, and so, in 1994 when she was photographed wearing the shirt, you know, there were other things that were happening. Other trials that had echoes of the rodney king verdict and the disappointment and the way people felt around the lapd, particularly the o. J. Simpson trial. Which was coming up and which started around 1994. So all of these things together say to me there is no possible way that anyone who was in policing during that time frame could be unaware of what the significance of that shirt and that wording meant. Do you think if she had said that she apologized and she realizes that there was a tshirt she was wearing making fun of the lapd but at the terrible expense of someone who suffered so brutally, that this might have been different . Because i see what youre saying. I was 10 at the time that happened and it felt like everyone, everyone knew what was going on. Right. Everyone knew about rodney king. Do you think if shes have apologized and just been more i dont know. You would say honest, assuming that she is not being honest about what shes saying. I would. Do you think that would have helped . It would have made a huge difference. I think to say first of all, issue an apology and to say, ive evolved, ive changed from my thoughts at that time and the appropriateness of wearing a tshirt of that, what it signified, ive changed my viewpoint. I understand in a different context now why this shirt was so hurtful, and if she had forgotten, i would say go back and look at the videotape. Look at it from just two seconds, three seconds, and you will quickly be reminded of just how brutal this beating was, and what it meant across this country. This was the very beginning of the sort of like being able to videotape Police Interaction with communities of color, and so to say that you have no remembrance are you have no recollection that this shirt could be connected to this incident is absolutely unacceptable and an apology would have really been much more appropriate. All right. Cindy bask, thank you so much. We appreciate you joini ining u thank you. That is it for me. Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin starts right now. Announcer this is cnn breaking news brianna, thank you so much. Im Brooke Baldwin, thank you for being with me. Youre watching cnn. The president making a flurry of headlines on everything from vaping to john bolton to guns. Lets start with vaping, as illnesses and deaths possibly linked to ecigarettes are on the rise across america, the Trump Administration looking to ban flavored ecigarettes. Vaping has become a very big business, as i understand it, like a giant business in a very short period of time, but we cant allow people to get sick and we cant have our youth be so affected,
