tougher than them. and they re grabbing them by the necks and throwing them into the paddy wagons. and the town the people are clapping and screaming. their town s been liberated. it s like it s a war. in many places, like california, the same person votes many times. you probably heard about that. they always like to say, oh, that s a conspiracy theory. not a conspiracy theory, folks. millions and millions of people. and we got $6 billion approved towards the opioid crisis. you know, i have a friend, he goes to the hospital, he had a bad arm, he comes out, he s like a drug addict. you get hooked and you get hooked fast. so that was this afternoon. and then tonight, president trump threatened an additional $100 billion in tariffs on imports from china. u.s. stock futures tumbled on the announcement. philip bump and shannon pettypiece are back with us. shannon, i don t really know where to start. jeremy bash said something on our program at 4:00, that s as good as a weigh-in on th
thinks we do have a problem with excessive force and with fixing this communication problem between cops and communities. so it s a jest that would be wiser not to make. it s bad judgment to make that jest, as i mentioned earlier. but i m more concerned about the policy side. i don t think this is a directive and we shouldn t act like it is. but it could be badly encouraging. i m more concerned about where they are changing that policy on the criminal justice front. but as you were pointing out, the political correctness thing, i think politically he s sending that message. there s washington post piece saying president trump s reference to paddy wagons insults irish americans like me. i hear that. i hear scott s comment about guantanamo bay. this is something that s totally different. and i think that if this is something in trump country that people don t understand, maybe me and you need to have a sit down and a different conversation. i mean, maybe we need to go out
and talking about paddy wagons which is a slur by the way, mr. president. david, to the point that this world is watching i imagine that what putin s person who has scaramucci s job did all week was sort of organize a real disciplined message around opposition to the u.s. sanctions. i imagine what putin s scaramucci spent the week doing was sort of an online media campaign, an international media campaign, a european media campaign. to talk about the perils of the sanctions. meanwhile, our the american the what used to be the shining city on the hill, i guess it s an open question if it is still is, what we have done at the highest levels of our seat of executive power, they have been talking about sucking each other s bleeps. i mean, what is the world thinking about us right now? they wonder what is going on. i was in moscow a few weeks ago and i heard from senior kremlin
trucks or the paddy wagons to block off the streets and the view of the incident where we are standing. the police are continuing the try to de-escalate the situation, but the crowd is continuing the grow at the site of the incident. a so, mac, you may be close to the scene of the individuvid we are taking in, and what we can see in the picture are three police vans moving and readjusting, and there seem ts be a bridge delightly behind them above with some graffiti on it. we also have a line of police officers standing shoulder to shoulder. are you that close to the or cordon? yes, richard. that is precisely where i am standing a jound described exactly the scene that i am looking at. as you are seeing, they are moving the police vehicles around the line of police, backing up the police cordon,
what i m outraged by is first of all, one arrest? they should have there should have been paddy wagons full of people. when you break property and aim fireworks at police, they should all be arrested, zero tolerance. everyone says we need zero tolerance for this and that. how about zero tolerance for people with sledgehammers and destroying policy and person using the pepper spray should go to jail. shannon: we have video somebody who appeared to be a trump supporter being sprayed with mace, pepper spray or something and you would think that video would be enough to have an initial arrest or conversation with a law enforcement officer. one of the things that milo says in these situations and you talk about how he courts it. it works for him. it is good for his brand. what he says the left has essentially gotten to lazy they can t argue anything on content. and they ve now resorted to bullying because they can t argue facts and content. do you think that s an accurate
