let s go outfront. good evening, everyone, i m poppy harlow in for erin burnett. biden fights back after an onslaught of attacks against the fbi after the search of mar-a-lago. the president today did not hold back. now it s sickening to see the new attacks on the fbi. threatening the life of law enforcement agents and their families for simply carrying out the law and doing their job. look, i want to say this clear as i can. there s no place in this country, no place for endangering the lives of law enforcement. no place. none, never, period. yet today former president trump spending much of the day lashing out continuously against the fbi and the men and women who work there, sharing more than 60 posts in 12 hours on his truth social site, posts that are often delusional and many of them just plain untrue, like claiming the fbi helped rig the election and sharing one message that reads, quote, we can t let the fbi break the american spirit. well, this all comes as ....
I think that i am from texas. there are many parents who a year ago would never embrace any sort of gun reforms and now they are. this isn t a partisan issue, this is about keeping your kids safe. and the president is right to show empathy and frustration and the pain. he s lost a child before. he understands the pain. and so i think we need to see more of that from president biden and democrats should embrace that and really talk to parents about what we can do to keep their kids safe. kristen, what do you think, knowing what the polling shows? i mean the polling still does show that the gun issue does remain a partisan issue, but it also shows that while a couple of months ago it was sort of rising in importance with voters, it is still far below things like the price of gas, inflation, as well as for democratic voters at least the issue of abortion. so while i understand president biden s remarks and the emotion that he s put into the issue, ....
Mob or the side of the police. you can t be pro law enforcement and pro insurrection. you can t be a party of law and order and call the people who attacked the police on january 6th patriots. you can t do it. outfront now, ron brownstein, kristen soltis anderson. great to have you. ron, let s start there. biden never supported defunding the police like some in his party. but this has plagued him and now he s turning the table on the idea that democrats are weak on crime. he s linking lawlessness to january 6th. how effective do you think that will be? first, you have to separate president biden personally from the party overall. i think he is generally less vulnerable to those attacks because of his long history supporting the hundred thousand ....
Everyone can ask for apple to do the same with the app store. we can take action as citizens when there are calls for violence circulating in our society as well. the research shows that deplatforming, even if we can t get this content completely off the internet, the research does show that these deplatforming efforts really slow down momentum. it s what we saw happen with parler, right, after january 6th. david, president biden also responded to senator graham s comments today. i want to everyone to hear what the president said. no one expects politics to be a patty-cake. sometimes it s as mean as hell. but the idea you turn on a television and see senior senators and congressmen saying if such and such saying, there will be blood in the street. where the hell are we? what do you think, david? what does it all tell us about where we are? yeah, it s a sad day when lindsey graham, who at one point did know better is saying things ....
Cops in the 1994 crime bill, for example, and continuing a version of that in what he s advocating for now. overall, poppy, i think that the president s arguments today are less likely to reduce the democratic vulnerability on crime than they are to increase the republican vulnerability on extremism. i think the voters are concerned about crime. we see in polling like the nbc poll out a couple of days ago, 3/5 of them say they are voting republican for congress. on the other hand, concerns about democracy and the threat to democracy that donald trump and his movement represent are rising in prominence among voters. about 2/3 of those voters say they are voting democratic for congress. i think the president is probably more likely to stick that collar around republicans than he is to erase the concern about crime with his own party. really interesting point. sochi, biden laying out this plan to bolster police forces across the country. that involves training 100,000 more officers in t ....
