All of them, virtually all of them, have dispersed. Were trying to get a picture up so you can see it for yourself. The number of Police Officers you saw earlier, theres a handful. Theres a handful of people on the sidewalks. But it appears the protest, the demonstration, has ended at this point. Police are out in their riot gear. But the officers on horseback have turned and gone back to the convention center. What we saw tonight, and we saw your guests talking about this. Not nearly the thing we saw in chicago, or some of the other trump rallies. This is a protest that escalated a little bit. With people throwing rocks and the pepper spray and some of the smoke canisters. We heard it from some of the interviews we did with folks out there, how the protests began. People coming out, upset with trump. Upset with immigration policies. None of that the uncommon, with a trump event. We moved outside and people were diverted from the entrances and the exits, of the Trump Supporters at his
Union, and universal health care, and public education, and immigrant rights and lgbtq rights, we are reviving the heart of our democracy. When we develop tax and trade policies that no longer funnel our prosperity to the wealthy few, we are reviving the heart of our democracy. When we hear the legitimate discontent of black lives matter and we come together to renew justice in our criminal Justice System, we are embracing our deepest moral values and reviving the heart of our democracy. When we love the jewish child and the palestinian child, the muslim and the christian and the hindu and the buddhist and those who have no faith but they love this nation, we are reviving the heart of our democracy. When we fight for peace and when we resist the proliferation of military style weapons on our streets and when we stand against the antidemocratic stronghold of the nra, we are reviving the heart of our democracy. In times like these, we have to make some decisions and i might not normally
Where they had to either stand with him or stand betheir players and their business interests. And we all see where that led him where that led the owners. They obviously stood with their players and their business interests and not the president of the United States so do you think, dante, for the owners about the bottom line and not out of the goodness of their heart, theyre standing up for the right thing . No, i do believe that they have great relationships with their players, a lot of their players and personal relationships with their players. But at the same time theyre also running a business. And that cant be refuted. They are running a multimillion dollar business. And so they also are obviously looking out for their players, but at the same time theyre looking out for their best business interests. And when those two coincide in opposition to what the president s saying, for them, thats a nobrainer. Jack, how might this be playing out in the locker room . Especially when you

So i have the jut most respect for them. Heres what this is about. Its about focussing attention on racial injustice. Focussing attention on racial injustice. Its about challenging our dount extend the promise that that flag to all citizens. You may not agree with Collin Kaepernick or the scores of players who took a knee this weekend. Thats okay. Thats not the only here. No america gets to tell another american how to express their love for this country. Now lets talk about patriotism, what is sit . Is it draping one selfin the flag . Is it standing up for the National Anthem or standing up fo
joining us to talk about this, the anger of politico himself, smith jim things, this candidac what is it based upon? is it based upon simply serve knows who i am, i m a familiar name, the so-called front-runner, it s going to be a republican year, so i don t have to say nothing? it s an unusual situation. you talk about a rose garden campaign for a president who has a rose garden. romney is not that widely known, but i think in his view, every day we re not talking about him as the day he wins, and if he can navigate his way by keeping his head down, you know, he feels like he s in a good position for a general election. john, he just believes that merely being the nominee is a
