Reversing the damage joe biden inflicted. He is a destroyer of americas jobs. And if given the chance he will be destroyer of american great not. Right now a live look at the National Mall. Thousands of people rallying for Racial Justice and Police Reform on a historic day. The 57th anniversary of Martin Luther kings i have a dream speech. Kevin is live at the lincoln memorial. Good afternoon. You and i had a chance to within history on a number of different occasions. Today tens of thousands in the nations capitol are witnessing history. The mark back in 1963. 57 years ago. That was called on march on washington for jobs and freedom. This time its being called get your knee off our necks march on washington. There is symmetry here. This is an important date in africanamerican history and this is a city that has seen this nation come together. Martin luther king iii asked them if they would choose chaos or community . Thats the ultimate question for the entire nation that has been absolutely beset by violence all over the country this summer. We have seen a number of speakers. Many talking about the need to vote in november and the need for reform within the Law Enforcement community and they would like to combat police proitality. Brutality. The message is we can get through this together if we Work Together for the good of us all. John thank you very much. Joining me now is the white house chief of staff mark meadows. First, let me get you to sunday to what we see down there on the National Mall with the march on washington. There has been some criticism of the president during the day. Your response to that . Well, obviously the constitution allows us to peacefully assemble. When its peaceful, thats something that the constitution protects and something we can, whether we agree with the message or not. What we saw on the streets of washington, d. C. Last night was not a peaceful protest. There were people in harms way. That takes away from the ultimate message. Is this a political message . Perhaps . Is it also one we need to make sure we protect those constitutional freedoms . Absolutely. But we dont need to condone what is happening in communities across the country. When we see the burning and the looting and the rioting that goes on, that is certainly not what indicative of a speech that happened over 50 years ago in this same place and not something that the president supports. The president has been the only one they are here in washington, d. C. I will say that the president has been the only one in washington, d. C. That has actually acted on Police Reform. He signed an executive regard when senator tim scott put forth his bill. He was condemned by senator durbin to be specific. The president will act not only that we have safe communities but have the tools to hold people accountable. John to last night. A lot of criticism of the president holding the big acceptance speech on the south lawn of the white house. The president is not subject to the hatch act but there are questions if it was the right thing to do. To use the white house as a background. All of the criticism that comes out against this president is from the normal suspects. There was not a single federal dollar spent on the convention. It was paid by the political campaign, by the Republican National committee. Looking at a back drop and to suggest that the back drop is not appropriate because it indicates a conflict of interest, thats just not accurate. He is not the first president to accept the nomination. You know that roosevelt, a democrat, accepted it from the oval office. The vast majority of americans loved the message that the president brought last night. He spoke from his heart to the heart of the american people. It was really about a message that we need to unite. Instead of tearing down. Instead of complaining about what the message was, why dont we come together and unite. The vast majority of democratic run cities are experiencing real problems. John in 1940 the setting for the speech was somewhat more subtle. Only base it was actually paid for by federal dollars instead of the Republican National committee that paid for it last night. This president never does anything subtle. The message that came forth last night was unmistakably a contrast between joe biden and the president of the United States. Between safe communities and chaos. John on that front, chief meadows, joe biden came out to denounce the violence on cities across america even though there was no mention of it at the Democratic National convention. He said this. He is rooting for more violence and not less. He is clear about that. He is pouring gasoline on the fire. This happens to be Donald Trumps america. Throwing the gasoline on the fire. What do you say . Well, joe biden sees this is as a political liability. Thats why he is finally after 90 days of portland rioting, he has remained silent. If anything he condoned it and said there should be more of. It the problem is his running mate that were bailing people out. They got arrested for the rioting that happened in the first place. Its typical joe biden hypocrisy and you look at what he does and the actions that come from this. Will he denounce all of these people talking about defunding the police . Lets see if there is more than one comment he can point back to in a debate and if there is an action he will take for people across the country that are worried that their communities are no longer safe because of democrat activism. John do you believe the violence going on in cities across the nation is begining to hurt joe biden . Well, i think the fact he is not willing to stand with Law Enforcement and make sure our communities are safe is certainly a political liability. We are hearing it it. There was one person in washington, d. C. That acted just the other day. When we looked on the screen that was happening in kenosha, wisconsin, the president offered help. Said we are willing to come in and restore the peace there and work along side local Law Enforcement and was originally rebuffed by the governor of wisconsin. The following day they accepted it and we have had largely peaceful nights in kenosha. Yet, we see the remnants of what happened. Burned out buildings and Business Owners had their lives burn up before them. This president is about making sure this is not a commonplace occurrence in america. John we have not heard from the president. He hasnt weighed in on the shooting of jacob blake in kenosha. What is his thinking on that . Well, he asked me to reach out to the family yesterday. I spoke to a pastor associated with the family. A very good conversation there. He is trying not to make this political. The other part is he is a rule of law president. The first day when we didnt know anything about this, he asked the attorney general to make sure he investigateed it and get to the truth and make sure those with wrongdoing are held accountable. There is a civil rights investigation. That happened at the insistence of the president and the attorney general. To suggest he doesnt care because he is not opining on something we dont have the facts on yet is not showing is the heart of the president that i have been able to serve. He asked me to reach out to them personally. John is that what he is waiting for, the facts are not all in yet . He is waiting to make sure we do a proper investigation and restore the rule of law and not burning down buildings while the jury is still out on what happened and all of the circumstances. We are a nation that allows us to have a jury of our peers. Sometimes in this modernday rush to justice on what happened and didnt happen. He wants to make sure the facts are there. He is asking me about it daily. We will continue to brief him on that. John mark meadows thank you. I know you have a hurricane briefing coming up. One of the biggest battlegrounds could make a difference in the season. Since youre heading off to school, i got you this brita. Dad. I just got a zerowater. But weve always used brita. Its two stagefilter. Doesnt compare to zerowaters 5stage. This meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. Our tap water is 220. Brita . 110. Seriously . But zerowater let me guess. Zero . Yup, thats how i know it is the puresttasting water. I need to find the receipt for that. Oh yeah, you do. So you ready to hit the road . I dont know. Just get on your bike. And ride no its totally not the same without you. We miss your lets do this look. The sound of your laugh cry screams. And how you make every day here the best day ever. We cant wait to get you back so weve added temp checks, face coverings, social distancing and extra sanitizing to get the good times going again. Were finally back, and cant wait until you are too. Buy now and get two days free at the parks. Restrictions apply. John new information coming in about the 17yearold charged in the killing of protestors in kenosha, wisconsin, including a phone call right after the shooting. Jonathan hunt is live in kenosha with more. Good afternoon. The accused killer of two protestors Kyle Rittenhouse will remain in his home state of illinois. His extradition to wisconsin on hold for 30 days. He faces 6 charges. One carries a mandatory life sentence. The complaint said in the first shooting incident a protestor was following Kyle Rittenhouse and threw a plastic bag at him. He approached rosenbalm and he was fatally wounded. He said i just killed somebody. He is chased by protestors. He falls and protestor hoover strikes Kyle Rittenhouse with a skate board. Kyle rittenhouse shoots him and fires at another man and wounded him in the arm. That man appeared to be holding a handgun. One of the high group of attorneys representing Kyle Rittenhouse claims the Video Evidence shows justified acts of selfdefense. Prosecutors clearly disagree. Jacob blake whose shooting by Kenosha Police officers sparked the protest remains under heavy sedation and shackled to his bed according to his father. His sister urged protestors not to turn to violence. Black america, i hold you accountable. You must stand. You must fight but not with violence and chaos. With selflove, learn to love yourself, black people now, john, Kenosha Police tell us that on wednesday night they stopped 3 vehicles outside of the city of kenosha after seeing occupants pour multiple gas cans. They found helmets and protective vests in the car. Nine people were arrested on disorderly conduct. John thank you very much. President trump offering a full pardon to Alice Johnson one of the main speakers at the rnc last night. We will hear from the president in a moment. Back to the race for the white house. With both candidates set to hit the road the focus on battlegrounds is bigger including North Carolina. There is a Big Senate Race there. North Carolina Senate tom tillis is in the thick of that and joins me now. A morning poll choice underperforming President Trump in North Carolina. He is at 46 and you are at 39 . What is the reason for that . [silence]. John, i am having difficulty hear youing. Hearing you. In North Carolina people know joe biden will raise taxes. He will snap back regulations and end the tax cuts. If people understand cunningham is running on that same platform they wont vote for him. If 2014 we did a great job. We will do a great job on november 3rd. John i covered your race in 2014. The book on you in this election is that you are not loyal enough to President Trump to win over all of his supporters but you are too loyal to President Trump to win over a lot of moderates. You are caught between a rock and a hard place. No, i dont think so. If you take a look at the work we did at the state house to turn around this economy and to make it one of the Top Performing states in the nation. One of the best prepared to deal with the covid pandemic. There were times when i supported the president and sometimes when i disagreed with the process. The president is fully behind me. We have a great relationship. He endorsed me. We will win on the president s results over the last 3. 5 years and win on my results over the last 14 years i have been in public service. The voters in North Carolina are concerned with things democrats are talking about. They are using these protests as a red herring. They want to raise your taxes and make your power bills go up. They dont mind brown out like we have in california. They are concerned about what you have been reporting on community violence. [audio breaking up]. They will reject it. John we have the president in a minute. A quick answer on this. In 2014 you won on a couple of big points. One was isis and the lack of action on the part of the Obama Administration and ebola. Now everybody is worried about the coronavirus and the president s record about that came under criticism. I criticized president obama for not implementing a travel ban. Thank goodness President Trump did. We have an oversupply of ventilators. The president assessed the problems every step of the way. The voters will recognize he put the full force of the United States government behind combating covid. I think he is doing a good job. John 10 seconds to the president. Thanks for joining us. Heres the president now in the oval office. Thank you very much, everybody. Alice johnson has been just incredible. She recommended people to us. She knows people who were put in prison and they were put in for too long. Alice was given a life sentence. You spent about 22 years for something that today a lot of people would not even go to jail for. It was horrible. We found out about it. We gave you a commutation. That means we got alice out. Shes been so outstanding. I am so proud of you. We are giving alice a full pardon. I just told her. We didnt discuss it. You were in the audience last night. I asked the folks to bring alice over and we will give a full pardon right now. That means you have been fully pardoned. Thats the ultimate thing that can happen. That means you can do whatever you want in life and keep doing the great job you are doing. Alice has done an incredible job since shes been out and recommending other people. We said how many people are like you . There is only one alice as far as i am concerned. How many people are like you or your circumstance given this massive sentence and they are good people . She said so many are in jail. She is recommending those people. We have already done some that you know are good people. They have done really well since they have been out. We are taking alice from a comutation and a full pardon. I will sign it right now. We are very proud of alice and the job you did and what you represent. Pastor jeffers unrelated but he was here. Maybe i will sign this and then you will say and prayer and include the media because they need it probably more than we do. Thank you. Alice, its a full pardon. Its been signed. You might want to keep that one. Here it is. [applauding]. Pastor. Let us pray together. Father, we thank you for the remarkable story of Alice Johnson. A strong believer in the Lord Jesus Christ whose life was filled with heart ache and injustice. Instead of becoming bitter, she chose to trust in you. She cried out to you for years asking for relief from the hurt she was feeling. You answered her prayers through a great president donald trump. A great leader who believes in law and order and justice and also believes in mercy. Thank you for moving in his heart to do this great act today and father, i pray that todays full pardon will result in a brand new life for alice. Continue to bless her and her family as they go throughout this nation and world. Sharing the good news that you, god, offer an eternal pardon from sin to all who trust in your son the Lord Jesus Christ. Again, we thank you for the president and the example he set for all of us of what it means to be a forgiving person. We pray this in the name of the one who came and die asked rose again that we might have eternal life, jesus christ our savior. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, mr. President. Scratch. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Alice, its a real honor. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. [shouting]. John the president taking no questions. We will bail out of that. Alice johnson gave a moving speech last night at the rnc about the power of redemption. The president gave her a commutation now a full pardon. Joe biden is finally hitting the campaign trial. Peter doocy reporting live in delaware. You got the catbird seat there. We do, john. From delaware on a zoom call with some donors last night, joe biden explained how they will try to make up for some of the time lost on the campaign trail because of covid19. He listed 4 states after labored he will hold in person events. Three they are trying to flip because trump won them in scenario. Arizona, pennsylvania and wisconsin. One they are trying to hold. Thats minnesota. In every way we can and will be safe for the people we are meeting with. It would be irresponsible of us to try to pack people into a situation where they cant safely social distancing. Biden is hoping to have a bleak looking campaign ad, with empty College Football stadiums in these states they are targeting. Plus michigan. Violence violence. [silence]. We will have video of that for you later. Biden remains here in delaware. Kamala harris is in d. C. For meetings and offered a prerecorded greeting to the march on washington. John you bett
