Theres no reason that we can keep going through this i made a mistake, i thought i was under attack. The Democratic Candidates must show they have a real solution to policing. Whether its in south bend, whether its in new york around the choking death of eric gardner, whether its philadelphia. Its a national problem. If you want national leadership, then get up and lead. That does it for me. This weekend. But thanks for tuning in. Ill see you back here next saturday, 5 00 pmp eastern rdayn this sunday my sit down with president donald trump.
