Uh those outside groups of 

73
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:56,020
Uh those outside groups of 
people, we don’t know who they 

74
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:58,500
people, we don’t know who they 
are necessarily who funds them 

75
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,926
are necessarily who funds them 
who organizes them, but we know 

76
00:03:00,926 --> 00:03:03,160
who organizes them, but we know 
they came together to create 

77
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,020
they came together to create 
havoc and they are not the same 

78
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,420
havoc and they are not the same 
as our residents who proudly 

79
00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:13,160
as our residents who proudly 
say Black lives matter what we 

80
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,187
say Black lives matter what we 
need as a nation, we know are 

81
00:03:15,187 --> 00:03:18,454
need as a nation, we know are 
systemic reforms and what these 

82
00:03:18,454 --> 00:03:20,100
systemic reforms and what these 
agitators are doing is 

83
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,560
agitators are doing is 
distracting. From what our 

84
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,467
distracting. From what our 
nation needs, MPD is here to 

85
00:03:26,467 --> 00:03:29,187
nation needs, MPD is here to 
protect people all people when 

86
00:03:29,187 --> 00:03:30,693
protect people all people when 
there are clashes like what we 

87
00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:33,020
there are clashes like what we 
saw over the weekend, it is 

88
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:36,667
saw over the weekend, it is 
because a protest is no longer 

89
00:03:36,667 --> 00:03:39,020
because a protest is no longer 
peaceful and has become 

90
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:42,054
peaceful and has become 
violent. I know and I expect 

91
00:03:42,054 --> 00:03:44,360
violent. I know and I expect 
you’re gonna ask me about what 

92
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,960
you’re gonna ask me about what 
the president tweeted about me 

93
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,360
the president tweeted about me 
over the weekend, and we know 

94
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,100
over the weekend, and we know 
that the president considers 

95
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:53,620
that the president considers 
himself mister law and order. I 

96
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:55,300
himself mister law and order. I 
wanna be very clear he’s coming 

97
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:57,960
wanna be very clear he’s coming 
from the for the wrong team 

98
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,441
from the for the wrong team 
because we are for law in order 

99
00:04:00,441 --> 00:04:04,001
because we are for law in order 
to where for DC residents 

100
00:04:04,001 --> 00:04:05,941
to where for DC residents 
living peacefully were for DC 

101
00:04:05,941 --> 00:04:08,201
living peacefully were for DC 
residents speaking up for their 

102
00:04:08,201 --> 00:04:09,507
residents speaking up for their 
neighbors and friends and 

103
00:04:09,507 --> 00:04:11,227
neighbors and friends and 
demanding social justice, but 

104
00:04:11,227 --> 00:04:15,367
demanding social justice, but 
we are for peace we. That those 

105
00:04:15,367 --> 00:04:18,894
we are for peace we. That those 
tweets are meant to distract 

106
00:04:18,894 --> 00:04:22,027
tweets are meant to distract 
from the failures of the last 4 

107
00:04:22,027 --> 00:04:24,394
from the failures of the last 4 
years. We know that when a 

108
00:04:24,394 --> 00:04:26,874
years. We know that when a 
president attacks American 

109
00:04:26,874 --> 00:04:29,627
president attacks American 
cities, he’s attacking America 

110
00:04:29,627 --> 00:04:31,461
cities, he’s attacking America 
and the job of the president is 

111
00:04:31,461 --> 00:04:35,594
and the job of the president is 
to unite us not to divide us. 

112
00:04:35,594 --> 00:04:39,001
to unite us not to divide us. 
We also know what our job is

00:04:45,627 --> 00:04:47,594
government to assist us the 
best way they can, and that’s 

117
00:04:47,594 --> 00:04:51,941
best way they can, and that’s 
by. Our officers when we make 

118

be prosecuted when we arrest 
people for with felony charges, 

122
00:05:02,994 --> 00:05:05,620

district who is a federal 

124

anything more to add than what 

392
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,467
anything more to add than what 
I just said, The chief also

00:17:35,434 --> 00:17:37,201
Violence against police, it is 
hard to distinguish between 

467
00:17:37,201 --> 00:17:39,427
hard to distinguish between 
them all and so the police want 

468
00:17:39,427 --> 00:17:41,194
them all and so the police want 
to keep them safe too uh and 

469
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:42,427
to keep them safe too uh and 
they want to keep the 

470
00:17:42,427 --> 00:17:44,954
they want to keep the 
surrounding community safe as 

471
00:17:44,954 --> 00:17:45,781
surrounding community safe as 
well and are you worried that 

472
00:17:45,781 --> 00:17:48,061
well and are you worried that 
the police officers are gonna 

473
00:17:48,061 --> 00:17:50,427
the police officers are gonna 
exacerbate tensions of further 

474
00:17:50,427 --> 00:17:51,721
exacerbate tensions of further 
or harden some of the 

475
00:17:51,721 --> 00:17:53,661
or harden some of the 
protesters who were there to uh 

476
00:17:53,661 --> 00:17:56,019
protesters who were there to uh 
to protest and think more 

477
00:17:56,019 --> 00:17:57,213
to protest and think more 
negative feelings about the 

478
00:17:57,213 --> 00:17:58,493
negative feelings about the 
police. What I’m worried about 

479
00:17:58,493 --> 00:18:01,000
police. What I’m worried about 
is this country descending into 

480
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,913
is this country descending into 
a race war than uh and um. 

481
00:18:03,913 --> 00:18:07,467
a race war than uh and um. 
About the continued excitement 

482
00:18:07,467 --> 00:18:09,573
About the continued excitement 
of violence from uh leadership 

483
00:18:09,573 --> 00:18:11,833
of violence from uh leadership 
who should be focused on 

484
00:18:11,833 --> 00:18:13,467
who should be focused on 
bringing our communities 

485
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:14,773
bringing our communities 
together. uh so you’re asking 

486
00:18:14,773 --> 00:18:16,373
together. uh so you’re asking 
me about the end result when we 

487
00:18:16,373 --> 00:18:17,713
me about the end result when we 
need to be talking about what 

488
00:18:17,713 --> 00:18:20,947
need to be talking about what 
the trigger is uh because our 

489
00:18:20,947 --> 00:18:22,773
the trigger is uh because our 
police and peaceful protesters 

490
00:18:22,773 --> 00:18:25,713
police and peaceful protesters 
will will be safer. uh when we 

491
00:18:25,713 --> 00:18:28,913
will will be safer. uh when we 
come together as a community in 

492
00:18:28,913 --> 00:18:32,067
come together as a community in 
down this black versus white 

493
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:35,233
down this black versus white 
rhetoric. 

494
00:18:37,373 --> 00:18:38,513
Yes, could you elaborate a 

495
00:18:38,513 --> 00:18:39,113
Yes, could you elaborate a 
little bit about outside 

496
00:18:39,113 --> 00:18:42,513
little bit about outside 
agitators represented on TV? I 

497
00:18:42,513 --> 00:18:43,973
agitators represented on TV? I 
believe it was this morning, 

498
00:18:43,973 --> 00:18:45,573
believe it was this morning, 
saying that he’s been told he 

499
00:18:45,573 --> 00:18:47,113
saying that he’s been told he 
didn’t really clarify who with 

500
00:18:47,113 --> 00:18:49,713
didn’t really clarify who with 
that. DC has linked some of 

501
00:18:49,713 --> 00:18:51,173
that. DC has linked some of 
these what you’re going outside 

502
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:53,480
these what you’re going outside 
agitators back to the Trump 

503
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,633
agitators back to the Trump 
organization. In fact, the 

504
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:55,947
organization. In fact, the 
funny, you said, you don’t know 

505
00:18:55,947 --> 00:18:58,440
funny, you said, you don’t know 
who’s who’s sending them, but I 

506
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,106
who’s who’s sending them, but I 
believe the chief did it. You 

507
00:18:59,106 --> 00:19:00,639
believe the chief did it. You 
can also elaborate on how that 

508
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:02,573
can also elaborate on how that 
band is connected to the ocean 

509
00:19:02,573 --> 00:19:03,906
band is connected to the ocean 
in Portland, but can you help 

510
00:19:03,906 --> 00:19:04,513
in Portland, but can you help 
connect with no? We can’t 

511
00:19:04,513 --> 00:19:06,633
connect with no? We can’t 
connect? I don’t think anything 

512
00:19:06,633 --> 00:19:08,513
connect? I don’t think anything 
that we have found can connect 

513
00:19:08,513 --> 00:19:10,033
that we have found can connect 
any protester to a single 

514
00:19:10,033 --> 00:19:14,973
any protester to a single 
group. Or funder or 

515
00:19:14,973 --> 00:19:16,233
group. Or funder or 
organization, um though, I 

516
00:19:16,233 --> 00:19:17,773
organization, um though, I 
don’t think it would be a big 

517
00:19:17,773 --> 00:19:19,973
don’t think it would be a big 
leap to say that the type of 

518
00:19:19,973 --> 00:19:21,467
leap to say that the type of 
organization and resources that 

519
00:19:21,467 --> 00:19:23,940
organization and resources that 
they’re bringing to bear or 

520
00:19:23,940 --> 00:19:25,633
they’re bringing to bear or 
organized and funded. I don’t 

521
00:19:25,633 --> 00:19:28,400
organized and funded. I don’t 
think that would be a big leap 

522
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,440
think that would be a big leap 
um so our intelligence we know, 

523
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,173
um so our intelligence we know, 
of course, I know the chief 

524
00:19:32,173 --> 00:19:34,513
of course, I know the chief 
what’s happen to our federal 

525
00:19:34,513 --> 00:19:36,033
what’s happen to our federal 
resources as well our partners 

526
00:19:36,033 --> 00:19:38,313
resources as well our partners 
to find out any intelligence we 

527
00:19:38,313 --> 00:19:40,513
to find out any intelligence we 
can that will help us prepare. 

528
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:43,113
can that will help us prepare. 
Police these situations uh 

529
00:19:43,113 --> 00:19:44,513
Police these situations uh 
let’s let’s just be clear. 

530
00:19:44,513 --> 00:19:45,973
let’s let’s just be clear. 
We’re at the end of August 

531

We’re at the end of August 
August 31st day of school um

Maybe you were the chief 

538
00:20:00,513 --> 00:20:02,240
Maybe you were the chief 
collaborate on the van and how 

539
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,579
collaborate on the van and how 
you know the band the band that 

540
00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:07,047
you know the band the band that 
was the that was connected to 

541
00:20:07,047 --> 00:20:13,000
was the that was connected to 
the van. Yes and thank you. So 

542
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,706
the van. Yes and thank you. So 
the van uh was like I said it 

543
00:20:14,706 --> 00:20:17,480
the van uh was like I said it 
was uh registered to out in uh 

544
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,867
was uh registered to out in uh 
Washington state uh and if you 

545
00:20:18,867 --> 00:20:20,340
Washington state uh and if you 
look on social media, you can 

546
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:22,513
look on social media, you can 
see images of a van uh fitting 

547
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:24,313
see images of a van uh fitting 
it’s description uh in Portland 

548
00:20:24,313 --> 00:20:27,947
it’s description uh in Portland 
and also uh in Kenosha. so it’s 

549
00:20:27,947 --> 00:20:29,233
and also uh in Kenosha. so it’s 
indicative of the intelligence 

550
00:20:29,233 --> 00:20:30,440
indicative of the intelligence 
that we have is indicative that 

551
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,313
that we have is indicative that 
van was out of those events and 

552
00:20:32,313 --> 00:20:33,713
van was out of those events and 
I think you can also see some 

553
00:20:33,713 --> 00:20:35,513
I think you can also see some 
live streams with some folks 

554
00:20:35,513 --> 00:20:37,400
live streams with some folks 
are talking about uh that then, 

555
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,113
are talking about uh that then, 
in particular being at those 

556
00:20:39,113 --> 00:20:42,267
in particular being at those 
events. 

557
00:20:42,373 --> 00:20:43,740
So do you think it is connected 

558
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:48,200
So do you think it is connected 
to the? Was suggesting a thing 

559
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,479
to the? Was suggesting a thing 
or do you have any? I don’t 

560
00:20:50,479 --> 00:20:53,067
or do you have any? I don’t 
know anybody who suggested that 

561
00:20:53,067 --> 00:20:54,633
know anybody who suggested that 
this was connected to the 

562
00:20:54,633 --> 00:20:56,940
this was connected to the 
president uh at all, uh one of 

563
00:20:56,940 --> 00:20:57,773
president uh at all, uh one of 
the things that we’re certainly 

564
00:20:57,773 --> 00:20:59,173
the things that we’re certainly 
gonna do is if there is a 

565
00:20:59,173 --> 00:21:00,973
gonna do is if there is a 
connection uh if it is an 

566
00:21:00,973 --> 00:21:04,240
connection uh if it is an 
organized uh funded uh attempt 

567
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,953
organized uh funded uh attempt 
to to create violence in our 

568
00:21:06,953 --> 00:21:08,020
to to create violence in our 
city. Uh we’re gonna do 

569
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:09,194
city. Uh we’re gonna do 
everything we possibly can to 

570
00:21:09,194 --> 00:21:10,960
everything we possibly can to 
get to the bottom of it. uh the 

571
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,114
get to the bottom of it. uh the 
other point that I think that 

572
00:21:13,114 --> 00:21:14,973
other point that I think that 
uh this weekend really 

573
00:21:14,973 --> 00:21:16,400
uh this weekend really 
illustrates very well is that 

574
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,373
illustrates very well is that 
uh you know. About peaceful 

575
00:21:19,373 --> 00:21:21,433
uh you know. About peaceful 
protesters and we can all 

576
00:21:21,433 --> 00:21:23,067
protesters and we can all 
reflect uh on Friday, which was 

577
00:21:23,067 --> 00:21:25,680
reflect uh on Friday, which was 
the largest event by far uh 

578
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,479
the largest event by far uh 
that we had in our city. Uh we 

579
00:21:28,479 --> 00:21:31,113
that we had in our city. Uh we 
had zero arrests uh we had very 

580
00:21:31,113 --> 00:21:33,773
had zero arrests uh we had very 
little if any uh of violence in 

581
00:21:33,773 --> 00:21:35,173
little if any uh of violence in 
our city uh when tens of 

582
00:21:35,173 --> 00:21:37,633
our city uh when tens of 
thousands of people descended 

583
00:21:37,633 --> 00:21:39,313
thousands of people descended 
um the police uh and this is to 

584
00:21:39,313 --> 00:21:42,033
um the police uh and this is to 
your question uh they are 

585
00:21:42,033 --> 00:21:44,913
your question uh they are 
reactionary to a violence and 

586
00:21:44,913 --> 00:21:46,479
reactionary to a violence and 
buyers uh and the throwing of 

587
00:21:46,479 --> 00:21:49,080
buyers uh and the throwing of 
weapons and. Using lasers 

588
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,000
weapons and. Using lasers 
against police officers are 

589
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,547
against police officers are 
human beings too uh when you 

590
00:21:52,547 --> 00:21:54,913
human beings too uh when you 
throw bricks and rocks and 

591
00:21:54,913 --> 00:21:56,547
throw bricks and rocks and 
bottles and urine and you set 

592
00:21:56,547 --> 00:21:59,113
bottles and urine and you set 
fires there is going to be a 

593
00:21:59,113 --> 00:22:00,513
fires there is going to be a 
police reaction so folks who 

594
00:22:00,513 --> 00:22:02,940
police reaction so folks who 
wanna suggest or paint the 

595
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:04,973
wanna suggest or paint the 
picture that this was somehow 

596
00:22:04,973 --> 00:22:07,433
picture that this was somehow 
peaceful and the police 

597
00:22:07,433 --> 00:22:09,173
peaceful and the police 
indiscriminately used munitions 

598
00:22:09,173 --> 00:22:11,573
indiscriminately used munitions 
against them. They’re not being 

599
00:22:11,573 --> 00:22:15,113
against them. They’re not being 
honest. Yes, ma’am, you guys 

600
00:22:15,113 --> 00:22:17,506
honest. Yes, ma’am, you guys 
have any response to uh the 

601
00:22:17,506 --> 00:22:20,173
have any response to uh the 
videos that we saw over the 

602
00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:21,400
videos that we saw over the 
time that you’re talking about 

603
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,906
time that you’re talking about 
here um diners in DC and 

604
00:22:23,906 --> 00:22:25,280
here um diners in DC and 
harassed by protesters. Do you 

605
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,600
harassed by protesters. Do you 
believe that these are also the 

606
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,513
believe that these are also the 
outside containers that are 

607
00:22:27,513 --> 00:22:29,280
outside containers that are 
sweeping up or this local. 

608
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,713
sweeping up or this local. 
Yeah. It’s hard to say on the 

609
00:22:30,713 --> 00:22:31,973
Yeah. It’s hard to say on the 
diners uh uh first of all I 

610
00:22:31,973 --> 00:22:34,573
diners uh uh first of all I 
will say this the behavior uh 

611
00:22:34,573 --> 00:22:37,400
will say this the behavior uh 
is a bot. It’s uh not something 

612
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,947
is a bot. It’s uh not something 
that anyone should have to 

613
00:22:38,947 --> 00:22:41,233
that anyone should have to 
experience in our city uh and 

614
00:22:41,233 --> 00:22:43,433
experience in our city uh and 
uh it is potentially illegal uh 

615
00:22:43,433 --> 00:22:46,513
uh it is potentially illegal uh 
and the mayor asking uh MPD to 

616
00:22:46,513 --> 00:22:47,246
and the mayor asking uh MPD to 
intervene and I think is 

617
00:22:47,246 --> 00:22:47,913
intervene and I think is 
appropriate uh if something 

618
00:22:47,913 --> 00:22:50,513
appropriate uh if something 
like that. Happen to anybody 

619
00:22:50,513 --> 00:22:51,973
like that. Happen to anybody 
who’s either a resident or a 

620
00:22:51,973 --> 00:22:52,947
who’s either a resident or a 
visitor of the district of 

621
00:22:52,947 --> 00:22:54,513
visitor of the district of 
Columbia. Uh we would hope that 

622
00:22:54,513 --> 00:22:55,633
Columbia. Uh we would hope that 
the establishment would call 

623
00:22:55,633 --> 00:22:58,313
the establishment would call 
the police uh and to answer 

624
00:22:58,313 --> 00:22:59,773
the police uh and to answer 
your question we don’t know who 

625
00:22:59,773 --> 00:23:00,672
your question we don’t know who 
the where those folks were 

626
00:23:00,672 --> 00:23:02,000
the where those folks were 
from. uh we did not make 

627
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,513
from. uh we did not make 
arrests and to my knowledge. In 

628
00:23:04,513 --> 00:23:05,207
arrests and to my knowledge. In 
fact, the police were not even 

629
00:23:05,207 --> 00:23:07,633
fact, the police were not even 
called to those those 

630
00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:08,713
called to those those 
circumstances when you say 

631
00:23:08,713 --> 00:23:11,400
circumstances when you say 
potentially illegal there 

632
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,947
potentially illegal there 
there, there’s a disorderly 

633
00:23:12,947 --> 00:23:14,479
there, there’s a disorderly 
statute that potentially covers 

634
00:23:14,479 --> 00:23:16,973
statute that potentially covers 
the behavior and there’s also a 

635
00:23:16,973 --> 00:23:18,913
the behavior and there’s also a 
potential for uh if the 

636
00:23:18,913 --> 00:23:21,913
potential for uh if the 
managers of the. Establishment 

637
00:23:21,913 --> 00:23:24,113
managers of the. Establishment 
does not want the folks on the 

638
00:23:24,113 --> 00:23:24,833
does not want the folks on the 
property and they warn that 

639
00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:26,366
property and they warn that 
they could be arrested for 

640
00:23:26,366 --> 00:23:30,473
they could be arrested for 
unlawful entry. Yes, the mayor 

641
00:23:30,473 --> 00:23:31,467
unlawful entry. Yes, the mayor 
mentioned that you were avail 

642
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:33,200
mentioned that you were avail 
yourself of federal resources. 

643
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,913
yourself of federal resources. 
Federal partners are you asking 

644
00:23:35,913 --> 00:23:38,373
Federal partners are you asking 
the FBI to help investigate 

645
00:23:38,373 --> 00:23:39,547
the FBI to help investigate 
what’s been happening and what 

646
00:23:39,547 --> 00:23:40,347
what’s been happening and what 
you see is the outside 

647
00:23:40,347 --> 00:23:42,513
you see is the outside 
agitators coming in and then I 

648
00:23:42,513 --> 00:23:43,773
agitators coming in and then I 
don’t have words and you are 

649
00:23:43,773 --> 00:23:44,973
don’t have words and you are 
the mayor’s but do you consider 

650
00:23:44,973 --> 00:23:47,833
the mayor’s but do you consider 
this domestic terrorism? Uh I 

651
00:23:47,833 --> 00:23:49,513
this domestic terrorism? Uh I 
think there’s a potential that 

652
00:23:49,513 --> 00:23:51,573
think there’s a potential that 
it could uh that could be the 

653
00:23:51,573 --> 00:23:53,467
it could uh that could be the 
case. so that’s one other thing 

654
00:23:53,467 --> 00:23:55,713
case. so that’s one other thing 
that it could be domestic 

655
00:23:55,713 --> 00:23:56,479
that it could be domestic 
terrorism. I do think that what 

656
00:23:56,479 --> 00:23:57,633
terrorism. I do think that what 
the suggested that this is 

657
00:23:57,633 --> 00:24:00,000
the suggested that this is 
could be organized and funded. 

658
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,547
could be organized and funded. 
I think those are all a 

659
00:24:01,547 --> 00:24:03,147
I think those are all a 
potential and I we would 

660
00:24:03,147 --> 00:24:05,506
potential and I we would 
certainly. Our federal partners 

661
00:24:05,506 --> 00:24:07,947
certainly. Our federal partners 
to assist us in getting to the 

662
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:08,913
to assist us in getting to the 
bottom of it, and you know this 

663
00:24:08,913 --> 00:24:10,547
bottom of it, and you know this 
isn’t just Washington DC. We’ve 

664
00:24:10,547 --> 00:24:12,313

that there hasn’t been a piece 

880
00:31:38,033 --> 00:31:40,633
that there hasn’t been a piece 
of legislation passed to fully 

881
00:31:40,633 --> 00:31:41,633
of legislation passed to fully 
respond to covet for the

respond to covet for the 
unemployed for state and local 

883
00:31:44,113 --> 00:31:47,113

the funding that’s in the 

885

the funding that’s in the 
Heroes Act, and we hope that

Heroes Act, and we hope that 
that happens uh we also know 

887
00:31:53,973 --> 00:31:57,140
that happens uh we also know 
that using Fema dollars for 

888
00:31:57,140 --> 00:32:00,373
that using Fema dollars for 
unemployment. May mean down the 

889
00:32:00,373 --> 00:32:03,453
unemployment. May mean down the 
road that there’s fewer dollars 

890
00:32:03,453 --> 00:32:05,894
road that there’s fewer dollars 
to respond to testing and 

891
00:32:05,894 --> 00:32:07,661
to respond to testing and 
tracing and vaccines that are 

892
00:32:07,661 --> 00:32:09,734
tracing and vaccines that are 
gonna be needed to get our 

893
00:32:09,734 --> 00:32:11,581
gonna be needed to get our 
economy fully up and going so I 

894
00:32:11,581 --> 00:32:14,048
economy fully up and going so I 
think this is kind of a stop 

895
00:32:14,048 --> 00:32:16,434
think this is kind of a stop 
gap. uh if you will uh that our 

896
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:17,987
gap. uh if you will uh that our 
government still needs to come 

897
00:32:17,987 --> 00:32:21,626
government still needs to come 
together to fix so long long 

898
00:32:21,626 --> 00:32:22,993
together to fix so long long 
answer we will apply for the 

899
00:32:22,993 --> 00:32:25,613
answer we will apply for the 
additional $300 um because 

900
00:32:25,613 --> 00:32:27,327

that’s that’s the only option 

901
00:32:27,327 --> 00:32:29,954
that’s that’s the only option 
that we have to give some

that we have to give some 
additional relief to people, 

903

What happened when calls for 

938
00:33:48,134 --> 00:33:49,461
What happened when calls for 
back up their voice and then 

939
00:33:49,461 --> 00:33:51,967
back up their voice and then 
also just to go back to the 

940
00:33:51,967 --> 00:33:54,454
also just to go back to the 
unrest seen this week in DC we 

941
00:33:54,454 --> 00:33:56,594
unrest seen this week in DC we 
saw this in earlier in June, as 

942
00:33:56,594 --> 00:33:57,534
saw this in earlier in June, as 
well, if there’s any 

943
00:33:57,534 --> 00:33:59,261
well, if there’s any 
information to believe that do 

944
00:33:59,261 --> 00:34:01,613
information to believe that do 
the same outside agitators that 

945
00:34:01,613 --> 00:34:03,166
the same outside agitators that 
are coming in and our federal 

946
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:03,721
are coming in and our federal 
partners helping in that or 

947
00:34:03,721 --> 00:34:05,493
partners helping in that or 
this is just a little. We’ll 

948
00:34:05,493 --> 00:34:07,967
this is just a little. We’ll 
look at all that um you know 

949
00:34:07,967 --> 00:34:09,739
look at all that um you know 
whether it was the same and 

950
00:34:09,739 --> 00:34:10,920
whether it was the same and 
then you’re a question on 

951
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,327
then you’re a question on 
Dubois place. We’ve made some 

952
00:34:12,327 --> 00:34:13,452
Dubois place. We’ve made some 
pretty significant progress in 

953
00:34:13,452 --> 00:34:15,927
pretty significant progress in 
that case uh in finding the 

954
00:34:15,927 --> 00:34:17,061
that case uh in finding the 
folks that were held 

955
00:34:17,061 --> 00:34:17,861
folks that were held 
accountable, but I think your 

956
00:34:17,861 --> 00:34:19,954
accountable, but I think your 
question was uh regarding the 

957
00:34:19,954 --> 00:34:20,974
question was uh regarding the 
management review and the 

958
00:34:20,974 --> 00:34:22,600
management review and the 
police response uh and that’s 

959
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,061
police response uh and that’s 
in the process of being 

960
00:34:25,061 --> 00:34:26,647
in the process of being 
completed. What was that you 

961
00:34:26,647 --> 00:34:28,128
completed. What was that you 
said that you did find the 

962
00:34:28,128 --> 00:34:29,427
said that you did find the 
people responsible is there 

963
00:34:29,427 --> 00:34:31,134

anyone. I’m sorry you you did 

964
00:34:31,134 --> 00:34:33,455
anyone. I’m sorry you you did 
find the people responsible. 

965
00:34:33,455 --> 00:34:36,027
find the people responsible. 
We’re we’ve made a lot of. With

00:34:36,027 --> 00:34:38,987
We’re we’ve made a lot of. With

967
00:34:38,987 --> 00:34:40,726

and um, we’re hopeful to ensure 

968
00:34:40,726 --> 00:34:42,566
and um, we’re hopeful to ensure 
that everyone’s that’s we had a 

969
00:34:42,566 --> 00:34:44,460
that everyone’s that’s we had a 
seventeen year-old father of a
