issues in minority communities. how did you hear the president s comments? well, i mean i heard them as not as a joke, and in the highly unlikely event that he was joking, i think it just exhibits the trivial nature in how he views police brutality and how he wants to handle police brutality. now, when we re talking about joking about this situation, i personally don t believe that he was joking. we ve heard this type of tough talk and rhetoric and disregard for the rule of law from real estate mogul donald trump when he demanded that the central park five be executed for a crime that they did not commit. we heard this from then candidate president trump on the campaign stump, where he told his people that were there at his rallies, he told them that he would pay for their, he would pay for their legal fees if they would knock the hell out of
stock all over the world. they re laughing at what s going on in our country. welcome back to the 11th hour. you saw there the idea that the world was laughing at the united states came up a time or two during the trump campaign stump speeches and as president trump seems to believe that s a problem that is now fixed, here he is two weeks ago announcing that the u.s. would be leaving the paris climate accord. we don t want other leaders of other countries laughing at us anymore. and they won t be. they won t be. i was elected to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris. as a washington post column puts it, foreign leaders wouldn t laugh at the u.s., now they re laughing at him. among the evidence they cite. this recording of the australian prime minister which just recently became public. the donald and i, we are winning and winning in the
