Undeterred by the deployment of federal troops to kenosha, wisconsin, where protests have remained peaceful after days of unrest. Undeterred by Donald Trumps misrepresentation of nationwide demonstrations. Today the families of jacob blake, george floyd and others addressed the crowd with emotional pleas for yesterday and change. Here are the fiery words of jacob blake sr. Whose son still lies in a hospital bed after being shot in the back seven times by police in kenosha. There are two systems of justice in the United States. Theres a white system and theres a black system. The black system aint doing so well. But were going to stand up. Every black person in the United States is going to stand up. Were tired im tired of looking at cameras and seeing these young black and brown people suffer. Were going to hold court today. Were going to hold court on systematic racism. Were going to have court right now. Guilty guilty guilty last night, donald trump didnt mention the names jacob blake or george floyd when he accepted his partys nomination for a second term in office. He repeatedly divisive law and order agenda he promised crackdowns on demonstrators and mischaracterized the unrest across the country as the work of violent anarchists, but joe biden was ready with a reminder tweeting, remember every example of violence donald trump decries has happened on his watch, under his leadership, during his presidency. And today, his running mate, Kamala Harris, called for justice for jacob blake and reform in policing. And lent her support to the Peaceful Protesters who gathered today, drawing on the example of the late congressman john lewis. For congressman lewis, the brutal murder of emmett till is what shook loose the activist inside him. It was the start of a lifelong Journey Towards service and driving change. The same journey that countless Young Leaders are building upon as we speak. As john put it, emmett till was my george floyd. He was my rayshard brooks, sandra bland and breonna taylor. And that is where we start today. Reverend al sharpt orngs president of the National Action network who we saw in those images. He helped lead the march on washington today. Plus former rnc chairman and Senior Adviser for the lincoln project, Michael Steele is back. And professor of journalism at Morgan State University and a contributor for the grio, Jason Johnson on here. Rev, i always ask you this question. If youre comfortable sharing, tell us how the family is doing. Well, this was the first time that all of them were together. The floyd family along with the families that you saw. We had about 20 families. And half of them were issues that happened this year. And they are doing as well as could be expected, but theyre strengthening each other. The mother sent me of jacob blake was there. Didnt even want to come out. Got a little overheated. Shes trying to pull through this and the other mothers are trying to talk to her as they kind of know each others pain. And one of the reasons National Action network and i could take the lead in organizing it is we work with the families and we take the response. The father called me to get involved as did the other families. I think they were very much inspired and empowered by seeing tens of thousands of people come by to support them today, even in a pandemic. We did as best we could with social distancing. We made everyone wear a mask and took everybodys temperature. And to see that kind of crowd brought tears to both the eyes to be standing there in the spot where Martin Luther king stood 57 years ago talking about a dream for america. And theyd be the ones that the dream has not been fully realized and to stand there with dr. Kings son and granddaughter and others saying we were not going to rest until we get justice. They felt like it was an inspiring day, they said to me. We want to see more. We want these new laws passed. The demonstration must be met with legislation. Michael steele, i want to talk to you about the ugly underbelly of Donald Trumps efforts to distort what this is, which we just had the pictures on our screen. These are moms and dads in their darkest hours, and this happens family after family somewhere reaches up and minds the strength in their darkest hour to call for action. I mean, just at a human level, i dont know how you cant be in awe of that. But once it enters the trump distortion field, i wonder what you think sort of happens to all of that raw emotion and pain. Well, that raw emotion and pain falls out onto our city streets. And its not widespread. Theyre not running rampantly across the city of chicago or washington, d. C. I mean, you know, these folks come to a concentrated area. A place where they feel that well get the kind of notice and have the kind of identification so they can have that message shared. But heres one of the interesting aspects of this, nicolle, that we look at it and how donald trump juxtaposes the narrative. You have people that are moms and dads. Thats exactly what it is. Its moms and dads and grandparents who have had enough. Who have watched generationally this unfold in their neighborhoods and in their communities. And the response from trump not to those parents but to white parents and white families is law and order. Im going to bring you law and order. And so heres the question. Wheres the law and order for those black families, those brown communities, those black communities . Because thats what theyre seeking. They want a legal system that actually provides justice. They want a criminal Justice System, despite whatever was in the criminal justice bill. Thats not how its played out in their daily lives. So they want those narratives to line up in a way in which we talk about law and order, i feel its something thats going to be a part of me, not used against me. And thats where donald trump sort of changes the narrative, i think. Well, jason, i think that without the distortion field, this seems like a pretty clear call for everyone just to look inside their hearts. I think thats what jacob blako mom asked them to do a couple of days ago and to the law piece of it has failed. Young black men, either in shot because they were wearing sweatshirts and carrying skittles or shot while a Police Officer was close enough to have their hand on their tshirt. And then the order, the disorder seems to be failing, too. The disorder is a white alleged assassin walking by carrying a long gun and police do nothing. I mean, it seems like as a society, lets take donald trump out of it for a second, but as a society, were failing on both fronts. Yeah. And youre exactly right. And i think one of the reasons and literally if you dont mind saying this. I had this discussion with michael last night. Hes been texting me about this. I think the way this plays out in part with white families. This is one of the other things trump was missing. Theres a lot of white kids out there. Theres a lot of white parents out there at these marches because they see this violence as well, and they are upset by it, and they are disturbed by it. And when it comes to the lack of law and order that we have on the streets, what has finally come out in these last couple of months, what we saw in minneapolis, what weve seen in chicago, what weve seen in portland is the violence is often not just coming from the police but from proud boys and bugaloos and white nationalists and altright people coming there and destroying buildings and setting things on fire and handing out bricks. Its become abundantly clear when youre looking at who is causing the most violence in these situations, its not the mamas and the papas and the teenagers and college kids coming out with signs. They go home by 9 00 at night when the curfew comes in. Its these white nationalists and provocateurs causing violence and trump essentially encourages their behavior and never holds them accountable who are hand in hand with that violence and destruction. And rev, the best evidence that they dont have examples of law and order being threatened by the Africanamerican Community is that even the example of lawlessness and disorder cited by Vice President mike pence, a Homeland Security official killed in oakland, that person tragically lost his life at the hands of a white supremacist. Absolutely. Or when you look at what has happened in wisconsin where you see a 17yearold kid can walk down the street with a rifle after the curfew and the police are asking, you know, are you exchanging pleasantries with these young militia who said theyre there to protect property. But if you had a curfew, why is the curfew for the young black kids, not the white kids and then the white kid kills people after the curfew and nobody is talking about reprimanding the policemen for even allowing them out there. Thats a graphic example that they are talking to me about the double standard. Can you imagine if that was a 17yearold black kid out there talking about, im out here to protect the community with a rifle walking down the street at midnight when the curfew was 7 00 p. M. . Thats the racial divide in the criminal Justice System and policing we are not talking about. Exactly right, rev. Exactly right. Go ahead. No, i was just going to say, the thing so, you know, being sort of the strategery thinker that i am me, too. I love how you open the show today. And inside the trump camp, that imagery of africanamericans standing there with fists up, screaming, you know, and using their terminology, screaming, shouting, that then gets twisted around to give people to say uhhuh, i see that. After watching this, im voting for trump. And thats the sweet spot that trump is always pushing and hes going to be pushing over the next 60some days is every moment he can take and create a narrative on an image that is important and it is vital to a National Discussion about race and criminal justice for him its an opportunity to turn it and twist it into something ugly where that 69 of the vote, which is white, going to the polls this november, a significant number of them go, well, i think im going to vote for trump because i dont know if i really this is a little too scary. And that we cant be afraid of that. We have to step into that. And thats part of what jason and i were talking about last night. Well, lets tear it down right here. Lets not let that stand because all i see, and maybe this is the mom in me. All i see is the parents despair. Those arent images to fear. Its like staring into the sun because it hurts so much. How do you break that cycle, michael . How do you break that cycle . Well, you can break that cycle when Everyone Wants to break it. But if everyone doesnt want to break it, if theres one bad apple out there or one bad one bad narrative that can be created from it, it makes it harder to break that cycle. Its harder to see with an empathetic eye the pain of those mothers and fathers and grandparents. Its hard to see even with an empathetic eye, you know, the activist with fist in hand and raised up saying, you know, i want justice. You know . Its not an attack on your whiteness. Its not coming after you. Were not trying to take over your neighborhoods. All were saying is, can you stand with us in the pain . Can you understand what were feeling . And not react the way you have in the past where youve run away from your responsibility as a citizen of this country, along with us, to deal with this and to confront it. And so when you have people who want to turn that around and twist it into something ugly so that you dont see that pain so you dont acknowledge what jason acknowledged which was a lot of folks in that crowd are white folks. A lot of folks doing the marching along with africanamericans and others are white people. You dont want that part of the narrative out there. You just want to show the imagery of black anger and black frustration and then twist it into something that its not. And thats where this law and order thing really bothers me because trump knows what it says to white people and doesnt really give a damn what it says to black folks. But jason, i think and i may be pushing a boulder up the hill here, but i think doc rivers was trying to give voice to that. And lebron james. Like were the ones that are afraid. Were the ones for whom the laws do not work and there is no order. We go to the grocery store, 7eleven, we get out of the car and walking back and we get shot. I mean, how do you how do you take the trump propaganda out of the conversation for the and this really struck me this week. I had to watch every nano second of this convention. Anyone thats into donald trump and his pettiness and his smallness and his hush money checks written to porn stars from the countrys oval office, theyre gone. But how do you take everybody else and try to make some progress in this moment . Well, its a really good point, and also and brandon marshall, video came out of him. Hes been really active on the forefront of this work and he had people call the cops on him trying to move into his new 18 million house. I mean, like as ive said, it doesnt matter how wealthy or educated you are when it comes to these situations. Heres whats key from the strategic standpoint. As a political scientist, i dont believe in undecided voters. Not now. We havent had undecided voters in 20 years. People know how they feel. Theyre deciding whether they want to vote or not, not who theyre going to vote for. The most effective strategy that democrats have been able to demonstrate is, one, the diversity of these crowds. The fact that it is large numbers of different kinds of people, different races of people, but also the recognition that all of this chaos is happening under donald trump. Right . Hes essentially saying, put me back in office. Well, look what youve let happen. Joe biden appears to be this calming force in the face of these situations. Joe biden seems to be the kind of guy who can wave his hand like moses and part the crowd and say, look, were going to have a discussion. Whereas donald trump is constantly throwing gasoline on these things. At a fundamental level, any white person that is moved by anything donald trump says at this point, they already felt that way. I dont think anyone i was talking to friends of mine in milwaukee. I was like, look, are you guys worried about this . Yeah, thats in the southern part of town. But we saw that video of james blake getting shot in the back. We thought that was terrible. Theres a large number of americans who dont like chaos, and donald trump doesnt appear to be handling chaos well, and thats the message that democrats need to put across. Look, we dont handle this, this guy is making it worse. Let me go one step further. If i were on the political battlefield right now, donald trump is creating the chaos. Peter baker wrote a piece a few months ago where he said donald trump is the match thrown into the i mean, the angst and the reckoning is sort of the forest. But the person striking the match and pouring gasoline on it is donald trump. And i guess, rev, i want to give you the last word on this. It would seem the political and societal imperative is to make abundantly clear that President Trump is the cause of the chaos and the beneficiary of the chaos. He is definitely the cause. And has been the beneficiary. But now i think more and more whites are beginning to say, even if i dont agree with everything the protesters or civil rights people or black lives matter people are saying, i dont like to be identified with what im seeing when i see a guy shot in the back seven times and the police were holding his tshirt or eight minutes 46 seconds holding i mean, minutes, holding your knee on the guys throat. I had whites, nicolle, last night, i was going around the hotels meeting with the families. I visited different hotels. And at every hotel, i had whites coming up to me saying im in town for the march. Im marching. And one lady said to me, she said, i never thought id go to an al sharpton march. She said, but this is ridiculous. She said, it would have been easy for him last night, him being donald trump, to Say Something to the family. Or to at least condemn the kid that was shot somebody. He did neither. And she said thats why i think youre more reasonable than i ever thought you were. And she was at the march. I love that story, rev. And i just i watched all four nights of this. Donald trump is creating the chaos so that he can benefit from the chaos. And i just think Rachel Maddows got my factchecking muscles flexing now, and its a really important factcheck in all these conversations. He creates the chaos so he can benefit from it. And i think the truth and reality is more what you describe, rev. Rev, Michael Steele, Jason Johnson, let me thank you for letting me participate in these conversations with you. I am really grateful. Thank you. When we come back, the nba and its players make a deal to return, but in doing so, they pledge action in a host of social justice causes. Well talk with Cari Champion and jemele hill about that and how they hope to use their new show stick to sports to change the conversation in america. And the father of a navy s. E. A. L.

And all of the marlins and mets have come out of their dugouts. All the mets on the field are removing their hats as well. And now, after a moment of silence that lasted 42 seconds, the day before we celebrate Jackie Robinson day, the mets are exiting the field after both teams exchanged a wave of caps to one another. So it would appear as though, after a poignant moment, that the mets and marlins will not be playing baseball tonight. What were seeing from athletes this week, particularly black athletes who have spoken in emotional and raw terms about their own personal experiences, will be its own chapter in american history. What you just saw was from last night. The new york mets and Miami Marlins were supposed to play a game yesterday. Instead, they observed 42 seconds of silence in honor of the mighty Jackie Robinson who wore that number when he broke Major League Baseballs color barrier. Then after that, they took their caps and left the field leaving behind a black lives matter tshirt on home plate. They did not play their game. Its just the latest in whats become a cascade of powerful boycotts and demonstrations in the world of sports, largely set in motion by the nba players who decided to boycott their own playoffs. They started a crosssport movement. That mets game was one of seven in Major League Baseball postponed yesterday along with three games in the wnba, on top of that, every nhl playoff game last night and today postponed. Semifinal tennis matches at the western and southern open suspended and nine nfl teams call off their practices. But today, perhaps a new chapter in the effort. The nba announced that games would resume tomorrow. But thats not the whole story. The league and its players also agreed to establish a social Justice Coalition as well as an effort to open arenas in stadiums for voting. Its an historic moment in time described so well by jemele hill and kari champion on their show stick to sports. I understand why they came back to play, the nba players, but i would have liked to have seen them not play and thats because theres a part of me, the anger inside of me, i feel like they feel is that america, until you can respect black bodies in the streets, you dont get to be entertained by them. Despite what anybody wants to say, we have americas attention. We as black folks, as journalists, as a community have americas attention whether they want to listen to it or not. They can fight us and divide us. What were saying, were no longer a commodity. We are humans. This is about humanity. Joining us now, cohosts of the new late night talk show on vice tv, kari jemele. A show they created to speak honestly and candidly about being black in america, being black women in america. Its such a treat to have both of you. Jemele, so you tweeted something that really caught my attention. You said the nba season might be canceled because of racism not covid. Think about that. And it really makes you stand up and appreciate how big this moment is. Talk about what you were saying on that clip there that the anger would have felt better processed by stopping the season altogether. Well, i think this is why you saw the Milwaukee Bucks engineer this movement that weve seen over the last couple of days among athletes across all sports. Some sports that had you told me that Major League Baseball, which traditionally is a little more conservative in terms of the mentality, would have gone as far as the mets did, leaving a black lives matter tshirt right there on the field, making such a symbolic gesture. I would have told you, you were crazy. And that is that should let people know where we are in this moment about how much it has shaken this country but especially the world of sports, seeing people band together. And this is on display what makes sports a unique entry point into this conversation. Theres a lot of things in this country we dont do together. We dont pray together. Most of us eat with the same people that look like us from our same backgrounds. The sports is the one thing that mashes together. Different ethnicities, genders, across the economic landscape and it becomes a movement quite easily when you have a unifier like sports. And so the reason that i tweeted that is that i wanted people to understand just at the breaking point that were at. The nba players decided not to play because theyre tired. Black people across the board are tired. Theyre exhausted. Were having some of the same conversations that Martin Luther king jr. And many civil rights leaders were having 50 or 60 years ago with today being the 57th anniversary of the i have a dream speech. You listen to that speech and realize were in the same place. Yes, there have been advancements and there have been progress, but the fact that were still in the place where black people have to beg this nation to respect our humanity. That just says it all. You know, cari, thats what the topic youre addressing in that clip we played along with the notion that you have everybodys attention. And that is also true. I was watching this baseball game last night. I watched this happen live, and, of course, came one day after dom smith of the mets spoke and wept about just what youre talking about. People dont care. People dont care. And yes these powerful emotional moments may finally get the justifiable amount of attention around these issues, but its my sense that it shouldnt come to this. Men shouldnt have to bare their souls. Athletes shouldnt have to put their careers and sports on the line. How did we get here in your estimation . And that is because, first of all, thank you for having me, but that is because you get it. You see us or you see these a s athletes or black men and women as what they are, humans first. The country never wanted the uncomfortable conversation about racism. This country was built on racism. Players were commodities. Bought, sold, used, trade. There was never any thought of, there was a life after. When someone sees a black man walking down the street, if your first thought, not saying all people, but if your first thought if you are an officer is, okay, i might be in danger or im concerned, youre not saying theres a father. Theres a husband. Theres a son. If that is not your first thought when youre dealing with them in these very tense times, then thats bad. And thats how we got here because we have brushed we, all of us, inclusively, have not really told the history of what has been a part of this conversation since its inception and so were pretending as if none of this existed, and we are all, to jemeles point, exhausted. What you saw, and i mentioned this earlier. What you saw from these nba players was a strike, right . It wasnt necessarily a boycott. They were withholding their service because they wanted something done and they now have something done. But as a result, though, what you understood about a strike was that they were mentally exhausted because they are tired of seeing and identifying with that black man that is being who is unarmed, one, two, and then shot. Either hes dead or attempted murder or it is murder. You dont know what is going to happen next. Jemele and i do our show once a week. We thaurkought, okay, weve cov all the shootings, correct . Now we go to work two days later. Theres another shooting. It shouldnt be that way. Yeah. And what were saying in plain terms, especially on our show is look autt us, and we wa you to see us. Please do not divide us. We are not separate. We are all the same. And i think its time for people, really, other than blacks to take a huge, huge look at themselves in the mirror and ask, what do i think of that person . What are my, you know, biases or my subjective racism as i like to call it. What do i seek . And why do i feel that way and thats some soul searching. People want to believe what they believe. And unfortunately, thats how we got here. But i am so excited to say that we are at a time where we are speaking loud and in our boldness as a community, as a collective, as americans, and were not turning back. Listen to this. Get uncomfortable and be a part of this conversation. Cari, it seems like the second half of that thought is vote. I mean, vote like your lives depend on it. Its a message you heard from president obama at the democratic speech, and it was broader than questions of race, but it certainly included them. Its a message you hear from joe biden and Kamala Harris every day. But how do you take and this is an infinitely difficult proposition, i know this from politics. How do you take any emotional movement and put it behind a really kind of annoying practice . Its hard to vote. Donald trump is making it infinitely more difficult, but how do you take all this raw emotion in sort of its pain and beauty and get people to engage in the practice of figuring out how to vote . Thats interesting because you talked about it a little in the introduction to jemele and myself. You talked about the turning these arenas into voting places. That was one of the results that came out of the strike from the nba players. Lebron was on our show and talked very passionately about more than a vote and how you have to vote as if your life depends on it because it quite frankly does. What i believe you do with all of this emotion is you send out soldiers into the community, for lack of a better word, and go to those who feel as if their vote does not count. So many feel their vote doesnt matter. Theres also the misinformation that there are those who feel they cant vote because they have a crime or theyve been arrested, and they might have a felony. We talked about this on our show. So many people dont have that information and so right now, and ill use lebron james and his more than a vote platform. They are working with so many people in different states to make sure they are going to these targeted communities where these people normally would not vote and trying to educate one and express to them that this happens and it matters. We also are in a part of a country where a part of the world where we have social media. I am always consistently pushing that, and we do have to take that emotion and put it into action. I think that, believe it or not, you can run the tape back, i think were going to see a huge turnout. Well see obamalike turnout because thats the only thing that will get things turned around for us in this community. It was a huge thank you to black women for putting Kamala Harris on the ticket. And if not now, when . If not now, when . So i have this sense, i have my ear to the streets. Its not like i can speak for all blacks, but i have a sense that they understand, and people who are traditionally marginalized understand that voting is imperative. Our life truly does depend on it. You know, and jemele, i was talking with Michael Steele and the rev sharpton and Jason Johnson in the last block. The propaganda around this movement is just that. It is the new big lie. I mean, the big lie is that this is the cause of the chaos. Donald trump in the political world is the cause of the chaos and the beneficiary of the chaos. How do you kind of keep the faith with someone like that as an obstacle . Its difficult. Ive just got to believe, and im glad cari has this optimism because i swing back and forth depending on the day and what i read. Me, too. Right . Its hard. Its sometimes hard to kind of four nights of the Republican Convention kind of swung me the other way so im nicolle, you are better than me. My nerves are too bad to watch the Republican Convention. I couldnt do it. But getting back to your question, what ive got to believe is based off history is the will of the people has to prevail. Weve actually prevailed through far worse. Not just this is not the first time that americas soul has been at stake in this country. And im not saying that when we get to these points in our history that its pretty. Its usually ugly. It usually reveals uncomfortable dark truths about what this nation is founded on, what its about and what its allowed to fester. But ive just got to believe that in november, people will understand just how critical this vote is, that they will get that they need to be engaged at the political process. And i say this repeatedly and ill say it until my last breath, whenever that long day comes, far, far from now is that if your vote was so unworthy if it didnt matter, why is there such a campaign to take it from you . Theres a donald trump and the Republican Party have all but admitted that they need fewer people to vote in order to stay in power. That should tell you everything. And so that should give you even get you even more motivated, more intentional about doing this. I know its not going to be easy. We have a president that basically crumpled our entire Postal Service so that he could try to rig the election in his favor. Hes purposely putting out messages trying to scare people into voting, scare his base into voting, read white people, fearing black people coming to the neighborhoods, fearing this country is getting a little too ethnic and too diverse and this is the last stand. Hes purposely putting these messages out there and sending these signals. At the same time, hes discouraging black people from voting and people of color in general by talking about having police and sheriffs being in the presence of these voting booths. Its an intimidation tactic thats been used throughout our history. People have to just not fall for this. They cant go for, they gain. We have to stand up and say this is unacceptable to have this kind of president and this kind of regime that is our leaders. This is a critical juncture. The most critical one that ive experienced in my lifetime, and i hope that everybody else is willing to take this as seriously as i am. Jemele hill and Cari Champion, a pleasure to talk to both of you. Well be calling on you. I hope we can do this regularly. Really, really heading into such an important part of this cycle and jemele, youre right. If he wasnt so afraid of people voting against him, he wouldnt be trying so hard to suppress the vote. Thank you so much. Stick to sports airs wednesdays at 10 00 p. M. On vice. After the break, a top u. S. General has to make clear that in Donald Trumps america, the military is and will continue to be apolitical. That it plans to stay out of this years election. Why do you have to do that . Well ask. Extraordinary comments from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley. He said the armed forces will have no role in carrying out the election process or resolving a disputed vote. He said this, i believe deeply in the principle of the apolitical u. S. Military. In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections by law u. S. Courts and the u. S. Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the u. S. Military. Joining us now, former chief of staff for the cia and the department of defense, jeremy bash, plus former assistant director for counterintelligence and the author of the fbi way, inside the bureaus code of excellence, fred figliuzzi is here. For general milley to have to say that at all suggests that there is growing concern about how donald trump may seek to draw the military in to the november election. What are you hearing . I think there are a couple of concerns, nicolle. I think general milleys comment is exactly correct. The military is apolitical and must remain apolitical, and it should not participate in any way in the enforcement of the laws. Thats the posse comitatus doctrine which said the military cannot be used domestically to enforce the laws which is why the lafayette scene where the Defense Department was out there was so inappropriate for which general milley and secretary esper had to apologize. This can come in two directions. Surely donald trump could order the military to play some role quote unquote to provide security during the election which, of course, as we know, is a form of voter suppression. But theres also a concern that if donald trump loses and refuses to leave office, how will we physically get him out of the white house by january 20th. And there are some suggestions the military should play a role. I agree with some who say the military should play no role in that. Thats for the courts and our legal system to create the Constitutional Order that we have had in a peaceful transfer of power throughout our history. You know, frank figliuzzi, when you watch Donald Trumps public statements, he makes abundantly clear by saying things like my generals, by taking his heinous immigration policies and asking the military to create detention centers, more cages for kids at the border. By constantly meddling in a Justice System that exists within the military, going around and undermining the processes that have been in place for a long time. Its not if this happens, its when this happens. And would it be your guess, frank figliuzzi, that they have sought advice from people who have had to deal with this . I mean, the military makes plans for everything which is why i didnt put jeremy on the spot. But it really seems to me that every time weve said, oh, trump wont go there, weve been wrong. So first, youre right in that this is a president who is pretty much telling us he thinks its his justice department, his attorney general, his pentagon, his military, his white house that he can use and exploit for his own wishes, and we saw it with the Lafayette Park disaster. The debacle there with the presence of general milley that he thinks the military is there for whatever mission he wants to send them on for personal gain. So the fact that milley had to come out and say this is a couple of things. First, yes, i would not be surprised if indeed the military and, in fact, Law Enforcement, is planning for what has become obvious, which is that there will be confusion. There will be some chaos. And there will be increasing violence between now and the inauguration of the new president. Secondly, i think milley is onto the fact that the president gets his direction and guidance publicly, through public statements, through the media and sometimes the best way to message this president is to release a statement, respond to a question in a hearing that gets to the news and then gets to the president , which is, mr. President , i have no intention of getting my military, the United States military, involved in your Political Campaign or in the election. I think theyve the savvy folks in washington have figured out you message the president publicly through the media. Before we lose both of you, i just you are two of the voices weve turned to for more than three years on all questions of National Security. I want to hear from both of you what you think of everything that was on display this week. Jeremy . Well, you know, the president is trying to strike a tone as a law and order president when hes the one who is undermining laws and order. Hes pardoning and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals, his cronies, his friends who helped interfere in the 2016 election. Hes in every way undermined our Law Enforcement officials at the fbi. Hes undermined the intelligence community. Hes denigrated it, called it the deep state. It was on proud display. Mark grenell was essentially an allout assault on those who comprise the u. S. Intelligence committee, many of whom give theircoe1 the president has a weak record of defending 5k ou National Security interest. I think that was laid bare this week. E1 someone with Law Enforcement fac things. A convention devoid of truth and facts. Peoples house, the white house wasw3w3 extremely stressful and someone who came out after Law Enforcement, in particular, the its what donald Trump Supporters want and whatni othe fear. Well tell you what he said. The fear well tell you what he said. Find your sense of wander. Find the world is new, again. At chevy wed like to take you there.

Just five i days into hist presidency, trump ordered ryan seal team into yemen. Not from the situation room with all the intelligence assembled bute1 sitting across a dinner table from steve bannon. Just donald trump playing big e. 200,000 americans wiln3 have did before we vote. They and ryan have one thing in common. It didnt have to be but for donald trump. If you hear one ninithing, let e this. Dont trust donald trump with your kids life orq your own. That gold star father getting to the heart of the danger that donald trump poses as our president. It becomes down to it, its all about donald trump. That scene, that father describing is just one of man who had justq taken office actig on impulse sitting across from stevefa bannon and here we are three and a half years later and donald trump is still very much the same man hes alwaysu donald trump says he plans to remain that very same man who made a decision that resultedw3n the death of bill owens son across the table from steve bannon. Raid your int i read your interview. It was remarkable for what he didnt say. The purposelp of the article was to look at how he changed, if at all in four years. You try to reintroduce a president to a convention, through a nominating speech. The question is what have they learned in office. I think your former boss, president bush learned in office, president clinton did. President obama did. Im sure President Trump has. When you ask, he will tell you hes the same. Things have not changed. co askedco about how he thought he was different, he means jfguard3 hes not very guardi lc hapigned to the political,xd to and fro. What he sees ast the unfair tas and invesxdnvestigations. His challenge is articulating what his second term agenda is. He talks whabts he dmid the Lower Court Justices of a conservative stripe. Different, he said its going to be the same. W3 for his cosupporters, thats a good thing. They likeok what they have seen. For a lot of meramericans who dt e a1 mnr you covered really up my old boss, one of the best books written about him,qnip h president obama and now trump. He isco obviously remorseless. Bill owens finds himqco remorses and his son lost hisni life protecting this country in that raid. He is remorseleasd about his failures to protect people from dying from coronavirus. Even when you say its not his fault that codkt u auj exists. Everything that happened after it got here, he is accountable i papers done extraordinarily investigative work around all of the emails and the efforts to sound an alarm. Does the president have any ability without feeling orco showing remorse to do anything better in the second term. Is he promising to do anything better than he did in first term . Its a really interesting question. I said would youco do anything differently, i said we would have had more bp, medical equipment. He didnt take any seconde1e1fa thoughts or offer second thau thoughts about his playing down the virus. arh doesnt offer second thoughs about pushing to reopen society back in the springc0vhich then was followed by such a cascade of more illness and death over the last couple of months. Hes saying he did everything prettyfa much right. I asked him about the question of empathy. Expressed real emotion about people who have suffered through this coronavirus and he has so far really not been able to do that. It was interesting. He said i hear that. I understand that. I read that and i really do feel bad for all these people. He cant firh the sentence before turning it to the question of blame. Itsok all about china or the governors. Its not in him. Language. I think thats something were not goiuh to see change because somebody might want him to. Sgr pee1 s peter baker, thank you for spending time to talk with us. The next hour of deadline white house startsfafa right now. Jfe1 ask yourselves right now, how would the historyjf books rememr you . What will be your legacy . Will theni future generations remember you forni your complacency, your inaction . Or would they remember you for yourxd empathy,co your leadersh . Myxd brother cannot bec a voice today. We have to be that voice. We have to bew3 the change and every one. Its 5 00 in the east. An emotional statement from george floyd sister bridgette. Her family gathered today with the family of jacob blake. Thousands of others standing up against Racial Injustice in massive demonstration on theco national mall. The 57th anniversary of the historic march on washington which today amid growing unrest over Police Violence against black americans was named the get your knee off our necks commitment march. Thenk gathering of thousands inviting a split screen with the scene last night a half mile away at the white house. One of the clearest demonstrations yet of an out of step President Trump failingnii meet the moment on twin crisis now facing thisw3 country. Trump last night centering thex e election divisive law and order message. Fear mongering over demonstrate strags decite recent polls showing the vast majority of f response on questions of race. Thats just one of theni crisis erupting in america on Donald Trumps watch. The seats on the4; white house lawn last night could have been nearly filled with the peoplewi who died of coronavirus in the United States yesterday alone. Ok thats the state of the crisis on donald fntrumps watch. Hisco ownni supporters packedxd tightly together with the white house as a backdrop. No mask mandate. No universal testing. Allxd of them in harmst t way. Te vent an expression of trumps mask averse back to work, back to school virus will disappear e0 ll on its own strategy of coronavirus. Strategy that more thansfn twothirds ofq americans reject in another recent poll. None of those conumber, nor the overwhelming consensus of the American People have moved donald trum4d÷v response on either of the crisis. S ow coming to define his failures asnb president. As greg sergejn party in 2016, he declier claired to the nation i alone can fix it. Four years later as he accepted the nomination for a second term c deliv a speech that if effect told the nation, i dont take responsibility at all and that isc where]ms we start this hourh senior opinion rigwriter for thr globe. cot 9[rxjf we over use this notion of a split screen america but many this case you have upwards of 70 of americans who align themselves withe1 the objectivef black liveskf matter. You have 60 of americans in support of athletes who have boycotted games and sports. You have young people who see questions of race in a totallyn youve got donald trump over there almost spinning in his own atmosphere talking about an america that we should fear in future when itsrr the America Today that is showcasing these incredible spasms around issues of race and a pandemic thats cost us 4180,000 lives and a lo of economic damage. Yes. There are two things going on here. ]i his ba. E part of ics message in 2016 was about fear and grievance. A lot of qotherism. He is painting these o2d÷protes painting antifa as this threatc that threatens folk, particularly whitee1q folks in urbs, thats its the worst thing that could happen to them1 theyre going to come into their neighborhoods and do terrible things to them. There are more things important. Wednesday was a reallyco s incredible day. cocoq thats the reality were seeing. Wroits abo i wrote about my disappointment aboutoh the red sox still play on wednesday. My inbox has been floodedu seeing that much of trumps propagandam; really serve to inform this theoryco ofw3 the c. He needs to dehumanize anyone who didntni voteymu i cohim. ] a lot of the refusal to engage around issues of race is a refusal to acknowledge hes the president of the whole country. My observation and i wonder what yoc o[ think is that senator kaa qlt ard wired to alwayszv incl message arj yound united people. Around michelle obamas, when they go low, we go high. My question to you is will it work . I think its a . V good questi. We have and processed this a president of the United Division and count on that playing out in term of keeping people away fro. Th9b allot box. When i watch the Republican Convention and i did watch every single minute of it, i heard it really, i think President Trumps remarks last night really speak to this where he is counting on keeping his8cn fa4 people who are as aggrieved as he is and adding lan 11 of whi peoplejf that he has scar r that black people are comingfa for them. I think there is nothing more insidious than a president who has decided÷xc that the only wa that hew3 can win is to splitz]s countryok apart. Democrats aruk going to have to get through that message. They are going to have tonr spe to people and say, you cannot just sit home and allow this president to tear us oiapart ey Single Person has to vote. They haveco to do it early. They have to do it in the way they can because that is the is happening in his america on his watch. Talk about, youre the expert on disinformation. Talk aboutnr how much theyok ren it and how much they need it to stick toe1 prevail. Ok as you d qfnmentioned, its immigration and thee1 irony. Youre kind of eluded to this or nixons law and ordernr campaign ofybe49 1968 i wasnt president. The disorder he was campaigning against was happening on somebody elses watch. Donald trump is e1president. This is happeningla 9xon his wa. The other irony of it is hes the most lawless president in history. Hes challenging law and order but hes hadimore indicted felons in his administration than any administration in history. Justice department. His family has been indicted over and over for crimes. The fact that he is saying it, is a irony. I hope and pray that voters see through okit. Njv i stopped asking where the republicans are. I strikes me mitt romney did march with black lives matter protesters around in the wake of the xv Lafayette Square clearin; i want to ask you havingnico wad this family, this most recent family and if you, i hadokxd th conversation with jamil hill in the last hour. If you have a weekly broadcast, its even moret notable how yo t ve to update the examples ofp young black men being shot at the hands of police when youre on every day. The thing that strikes mew3 is u vahahe family that first calls for calm. Its every single incident, the family of mrge floyd, the family of jacob to blake. They have used the first turn where they have to go in this t macabe ritual of u grief and sluua despair and called for calm. Laying any of the chaos at the hands of the victims is beyondw it should be criminal slander. Yes i thiub thats true. M mash today with some of these families it struck meq these ar people. These are every dayjfe1ni. They were put in thu this burden onxd tope1ni of the tragicwlt loss very persona loss of their brothers, sons, uncles, theyre sisters. They have been thrust into this point ofw3onm5 leadership yet, said, theyre the ones that speaks so poignantly not only there is justice. They promote protests butok the want peace for every one. They want black peoplee1fa toye they want the police to protect them, not pose a threat. They can give lessons to a lot offa republicans, particularly republicans. Ok that black lives matter. Its still remarkable toe1 me w had a whole Republican Convention where the last person awas not the last, the only living former republican president that shows you how theq Republican Party hs split. The folks on that other part of that split, they could have shown up at they could have showe1n theirw3 support and stood along the folks. Q nmember george w. Bush standing at thebv pettus bridge and standi iningfa up and appla when barack obama called for the Voting Rights act. There is a space for that in this conversation and it would cmk see if our control roomv n put up pictures from one side and last nights trump if i were magazine ed tor, i would say whats missing in the white house picture . The answer is masks. co propag this wees sought to depict anlp america in which 180,000 people havent lost their lives. Eachni up with of those peoplepo mom, dad, brother, sister, sometimes a child ripped from family unnecessarily. Donald trumpco wanted to put on convention in which9;v covid hat destroyed our economyni and tak 180,000 of our fellow americans denialism. Its a lethale1 denialism becau youll have hundredsw3 of peopl if not thousands of prnaarent ofcni the united stao. Pg by the time of thefaok voting o nember 3rd, there mayokt well 200,000 or 225,000 deaths of americans. Cpko again, the tragic, lethalco iro of him campaigning on law and order is hes been unable to protect hundreds ofu thev americans. Economy u uaa more 180,000 americans dead with no end in sight more than ordinary antiperspirants. With secret, youre unstoppable. No sweat try it and love it or get your money back. Another bundle in the books. Got to hand it to you, jamie. Your knowledge of victorian architecture really paid off this time. Nah, just got lucky. So did the thompsons. That faulty wiring couldve cost them a lot more than the mudroom. Thankfully they bundled their motorcycle with their home and auto. Theyre protected 24 7. Mm. What do you say . One more game of backgammon . [ chuckles ] not on your life. [ laughs ] when the lights go down [ laughs ] dont just think about where youre headed this summer. Think about how youll get there. And now that you can lease or buy a new lincoln remotely or in person. Discovering that feeling has never been more effortless. Its the final days of the lincoln summer invitation sales event. I got it all from you im always pushing through i know well make it to the finish line i know youre waiting on the other side im like you ondemand glucose monitoring. Because theyre always on. Another lifechanging technology from abbott. So you dont wait for life. You live it. A little bit more awayjf fr an electionco decide who will become the next president of the United States. While we arekhin the midst of, t least four crises, and american race,niti gender or geographic location have the right to believe their leaders will speak tru÷hz gv when these are difficult truths to peek and to hear. Now that the democratic and the 67 day sprints to election day is under way. Donald trump will kick off his postconvention s paignz with rally inokco manchester, new hampshire. While joe biden and Kamala Harris will hit the trail after harreveral key the trail after states. Lets bring in chief of staff to it seems that senator harris day was designed to sort of5puncture the propaganda which wasok if donald trump had one intention this week, it was to depict a world in which 180,000 americans havent died you saw lawyer just effectively make her case. Thats something that wec what you see from thee1 biden harris nrqcampaign, the ticket is you see a ticket that cares about the country. Cares about the pain of that people. The clip you just showed of senator harris, she talked about how this is were supposed to masks in the middle of a covid19 crisis, a Global Pandemic and he doesnt seem s care. Hes ignored it. Hes basically srfn were not doing anymore testing. Im putting my head in the sand. Dont look atlp me. Do not blame me. Thats not what we need. Vasq thats not what we need to cont to do the next 67 days isco sho that contrast, make the casee1 the American People andq one moe thing we have to do is we havec to go full speedjf ahead tonm . G sure we have massive g 7 operation and afa voter educati operation which were doing because you have a president thats going to undermine ourtx democracy and buput bar yours i front oft c ua going to votew3 in november. ni q cannot tell you how many of my democratic friends areco psyched out by Donald Trumps audacity. Here is the way their nightmares go. cg audacity of the grift, the audacity of the lies, about the real reason theres chaos on the street and the audacity to place someone who isnt ws president things that are happening under someone who is president is making people scared. He will lie to his base and he will lie and frighten enough]ok sort of swing voters to put himself over the top. It will all be a lie but thereq are people who are sipsyched ou by the e audacity of the lies hs willing to tell. How do you combat that . You lay it out that way where we are in thisni country after thr and a half years of donald n now we know him. Im so proudoknr ofco u Donald Trumps niecee1 mary wil e back with my friend and activists for ral9 meet one of t when we come back.

When i got to kenosha, there were people that met us in a few t of those people joined. People joiningog while with the police were really nice. We knew we would have a tough time when we got to indiana, it was everything started. As soon as we got there, first t have road spook and the n word and people start throwing boots and food at us wen had to like weird experien inx indiana d÷ the police were blocking off the gas statione1 so the police wouldnt use the bathroom they were telling businesses we were going to burn them down i think we got to valperzo theye marched down the street the next municipality arrested c us one is marchexfcith us and th we are arrested ono the same highway whichxdarrested uus i think it was warsaw,÷ . india. Say the police are confused. X you have that sort of ability to see it from their vvnside it sounds like you encountered a couple who saw and believed inq n. Do you think that there is any replacement for that su of Actual Experience of walking in each otherst shoes i think a lot of times people thip we have a c lem with the the mainnotcnr thing is that thu certain percentage of bad cops in order to be a good stop, you must stop a bad cop. You had three other cops that didnt stop the bad cop. 9t cant truly be a good cop unless you stop a bad cop. We dont have a problem with police that are being good cops. We had a Police Officer march with us. A s trooper that gave me their trooper badge. J she said, while you fight for me on this side, ille fight for u on that side i was very emotional i received it. Everything was fine. The confusion for me is i askedq the cop. F one officer was marching down s the street with us,gpe did he k the law. Theyqcruju did answer that. Sometimes one Police Officer will saye1 you can do this. Another one will say you cant do the exact sa . Ep thing. E thats what makes it qconfusing. The fact that ]sing the fact that some of them fe like they can take the law into their own hands and make things i know the law. I know my First Amendment rights allows mex bt allows mex u the freedom to it trumps any state or city policy they could have a lot of timese they will tell you you cant do something the you tell the police can yo5 prove it, they cant thats whats been happening a lotcoof police were telling you cant block the fstreet im liketnhow it to me if they couldnt then we would continue to walk that upset a lot of Police Officers along the way for theqmost part, it was kind of weird indiana washrally bad with the dti z was really cool wit theh people werefa really bad. Pennsylvania wasco like, kind o ;hpd down. You always have officers that just kind of dont like what youre doinggf i think they dont really care for what youre doing. Always make jokes about it. Sometimes the sheriff will come up and then hellt haveoe÷ to t traffic. Ime1 makect jokes and say he tu b ed intocolp a traffic cop. He got dmo times they think they can make a phone call and thee1c person above them will let them know were not breaking laws and theyq have to protect us and serve us and have to escort us through the cities. 6 thats whats been happening. Standing up against them knowing the law because for me youni cat just tell me something because t youre the police. You cant impose on me. Se thats worked so many times for black people in thetdlznuh blac community. Theres been so many neighborhoods ive walked through where they were like we never got to march down this co street. In fort wayne, indiana. They w j;n like we never got to march downcjis street before. Im like why, the police told the they couldnt and they turned around andnr left. We were really, every time i said, theres nothing going to stop us from getting toy washington, d. C. T x our main goal. c4 tell me when you decided to go and what your lastingni mess is for folks watching right now. Why was it important toghi be te today . Originally, a lot of activists were flying out. K out to thisir÷ march. I was like i want to go to the march bad. When iq foundi] it on on the commemoration of the i haver dream speech. niw3 way to honor them both. We havexd been marching for a l of days. I think they always thought it was going to be a compromise on th ]ok thingsto thatsdmyco wbw. I want to show the nation and people in other cities marching for change that we have to stand strong and dojfo[ things differently. We have the impose more of what we have toe1 g make people uncomfortable. Thats the only way to get change is by making people uncomfortable. When i first decided to do the march, i decided i should march. Jz facebook andc d hi it was real. Im joking about that. Sometimes its like you do something and you say youre going to do something and then you just kind of stick to it. Kuhought about it. I said im goinge4kn to do e1th. I was reallye1 adamant about dog it. What i didnt prepare for was a lot of good experiences ÷ lote1 of racist experiences with people. S to getd thexdwashington, d. Cd out the goal wasw actually the journey and exposing all the little towns they e allowed b racism to exist. One of my friends was shot in that city in one of those little towns as fawell.

You know, you just figure it out. Weve just been finding a way to keep on pushing. Last night could have been Donald Trumps prime time moment toe1 lead a nation. One suffering massive economic and emotional loss from an this bad. He failed. Acceptance z the coronavirus only a few times and only ton c attack joe biden blame china and ironicallyfa to tout his own leadership throughout theco pandemic. More than 1,000 americans diedc from thea,n coronavirus yester. There was no mention by trump of anyni of them. R or theok more than 180,000 before them who lost theircik lifers ort the more than 5. 9 these people4w . Q e on top of eh other. coyeah,xd thats right. By the way, i hate the make stereo types, a number of them at they were over the ageace of 50. Probably high risk from the fact that age, their body. Candidly, even if your outfvni s but youre not far apart you can still be at high risk. I want to reenforce the centers for Disease Control has established that acook group li that minimal t distance, no charlie, he is selling liwg e one theu yeah, ai know you said you were working on fumes but id like to steal your line from the last half hour, be audacity of his lies. Last night, f ions ofe1 americans have miss eed wedding funerals, graduations. Homes. Thenq you see this scene frome1 last night. You know, after 9 11, we were all in tttogether. Remember that . There was a sense of common purpose. Last night the i]e1underlying i this vie skries sis wekn are no this together. We have one america stimdealing thise1 ongoing tragedy. 180,000e1 americans have died. Qn died this week than died on 9 11 but it5a duoet feel the same because this president does not wantok to be unifier and not fenresponsible. That was, in terms offrqe1 arrogance of the move but also the recklessness. Youre right. The whole point of this was to say, its over. ,cx4 its done. Its in the rear view mirror. Yet, more than a thousands americans continue the die. There will be consequences from l;a9 qkqn just for the people e there many people in his base who look at that and say, okay. So the president is saying, its all right. We dont need to engage in social distancing. I think thats a tragedy. You know, just to pick up on charlies thread. I said this last night and then someone in the circumstance texted me a few minutes later. You might even be a trump voter. You have a kid with pediatric cancer undergoing chemo. You wear a mask so you dont bring home covid into your household. You go to costco and youre banking on the good will of the other people in your community. You dont know them. You hope while youre at costco, that theyll wear their masks. You never know who someone is trying to protect. It is so much harder for that mom when she goes to costco other. People are wearing their masks and it makes it more likely that there will be some conflict, some partisan debate about why you should wear a mask so no one brings home covid if they have an immune suppressed household. Minutes after i said that, a woman texted me and said im that mom. I have a 19yearold with cancer and i need everyone to wear their masks. We need to model that behavior. All you have to do is look at the two images of the trumps and the bidens as they were watching fireworks. One with masks and trying to show america what to model. The other with no regard whatsoever for what americans are suffering. Doctor patel, charlie sikes, thank you for spending some time with us. Thank you.

He was kind, he was generous, he listened, he never forgot a face, and he had a knack for remembering names. His son told the Daily Journal that george was supremely community minded. That he had a genuine love for service. Its been a devastating few months for their family. First georges wife of 52 years died of cancer back in may. And a few weeks ago george followed her.
