- PROTESTS, THERE'S ABOUT # 5% - THAT ARE DOING IT FOR THE RIGHT - REASON, AND THERE'S 5% THAT TOOK - THE OPPORTUNITY AND, YOU KNOW, - LOOTERS AND STORES. - >> SO, FRED, OVERALL, HOW WOULD - YOU SAY PEOPLE THERE ARE - PROCESSING WHAT'S HAPPENED? - THE ARREST TODAY OF ONE OF THE - POLICE OFFICERS AND THE - HEIGHTENED POLICE PRESENCE? - >> THERE IS A REAL HOPE, A - PALPABLE HOPE THAT WILL HELP - DEESCALATE TENSION. - WE'LL SEE HOW THIS ALL TURNS - OUT, STARTING 8:00 P.M.

- CITIES LIKE MINNEAPOLIS RESEMBLE - DEMONSTRATIONS THAT TOOK PLACE - DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, - WHEN PROTESTORS TOOK TO THE - STREETS DEMANDING LAW - ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FACE - JUSTICE FOR THEIR TREATMENT OF - BLACK AMERICANS. - JOE BIDEN SERVED AS PRESIDENT - BARACK OBAMA'S VICE PRESIDENT - AND HE'S CURRENTLY THE - PRESUMPTIVE DEMOCRATIC - PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. - HE JOINS US NOW FROM WILMINGTON, - DELAWARE. - VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, THANK YOU - VERY MUCH FOR TALKING WITH US. - NOW THAT THIS POLICE OFFICER HAS - BEEN ARRESTED, HE'S BEEN - ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH MURDER, - THIRD-DEGREE MURDER, AND WITH - MANSLAUGHTER. - WHAT HAPPENS NOW? - >> WELL, WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS WE - FIND OW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE - OTHER POLICE OFFICERS AND - WHETHER OR N THE JUSTICE - DEPARTMENT DECIDES TO DO A CIVIL - RIGHTS INVESTIGATION AS WELL. - BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS WE HAVE - TO -- I INK, JUDY, THIS IS ONE - OF THOSE MOMENTS -- AT LEAST I

- HOPE IT IS -- THAT IS SO VIVID, - SO CRASS, SO CRUEL THAT SO MANY - PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THAT IT AWAKENS - THEM IN A WAY TO SAY, YOU KNOW, - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. - OUR CHILDREN SAW THIS. - THINK OF THE MILLIONS OF - CHILDREN WHO ARE SITTING BY THE - TELEVISION WATCHING THAT COP - SMASH THE HEAD OF GEORGE AGAINST - THE CURB AND HOLD HIS KNEE THERE - FOR NINE MINUTES. - SO I HOPE IT AWAKENS A SENSE OF - OUTRAGE ON THE PART OF THE - AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HOLD POLICE - DEPARTMENTS AND ALL OTHERS - ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BEHAVIORS. - >> Woodruff: AND YET, AS WE - KNOW, VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, - THESE INCIDENTS ARE NOT NEW - DURING THE TIME YOU WERE IN - OFFICE. - PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS IN OFFICE. - WE SAW TREYVON MARTIN. - WE SAW A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS - WITH BLACK MEN IN AN ENCOUNTER - WITH POLICE OR WITH OTHERS, AND - I THINK AMERICANS COME AWAY - SAYING, WE THOUGHT THINGS WERE - GOING TO CHANGE.

- PRESIDENT OBAMA CERTAINLY SPOKE - OFTEN AND WITH PASSION, AS YOU - DID. - BUT HERE WE ARE, IT'S 2020, IT'S - STILL HAPPENING. - WHAT ARE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE NOW? - >> WELL, THINGS STILL -- - TERRIBLE THINGSTILL HAPPEN, - BUT THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH - THEY HAPPEN AND THE ENTIRE - GENERATION THAT'S COMING ALONG, - THE YOUNG MILLENNIALS DOWN TO - JERNGZ Z, THEY'RE THE LEAST - PREJUDICE, LEAST JUDGMENTAL, THE - PEOPLE MOST OPEN TO CHANGE, AND - I JUST THINK THAT WHAT'S - HAPPENED IS THAT, COUPLED WITH - THE PANDEMIC AND WATCHING HOW - THE INSTITUTIONAL IMPEDIMENTS - THAT EXIST BOTH IN RACISM AND - THE WAY IN WHICH WE DEAL WITH - HEALTH CARE AND THE WHOLE RANGE - OF THING, I THINK WE'RE READY TO - DO MORE IN TERMS OF POLICE - DEPARTMENTS IN TERMS OF - TRAINING, I THINK YOU WILL SEE - MANY MORE PEOPLE HELD - ACCOUNTABLE. - LOOK HOW RAPIDLY THE POLICE - DEPARTMENT ACED HERE AND THE

- CHIEF AND THE MAYOR IN FIRING - ALL THREE AND A MURDER CHARGE - BEING BROUGHT. - SO I THINK THAT THERE IS -- WE - HAVE TO CHANGE, AND IT'S GOING - TO TAKE TIME AND IT'S GOING - -- YOU HAVE TO HAVE A - PRESIDENT LIKE BARACK WAS WHO - SPEAKS OUT ABOUT IT. - YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO TALK - ABOUT IT, AND IF I'M ELECTEDUP, - THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING - THAT I'MT NOT GOING TO PRETEND - IS NOT HAPPENING. - I THINK IT MATTERS WHAT - PRESIDENTS SAY, HOW THEY SAY IT - AND WHAT THEY DO. - >> Woodruff: WITH ALL DUE - RESPECT, AGAIN, VICE PRESIDENT - BIDEN, YOU HAD WORDS SIMILAR TO - WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TODAY THEN. - CERTAINLY, PRESIDENT OBAMA DID. - WHAT IGOING TO BE DIFFERENT? - I WANT TO ASK YOU, IS SPEAKING - OUT ENOUGH? - WHAT ACTIONS? - THERE'S BEEN RETRAINING IN - POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BUT STILL WE - SEE INCIDENTS LIKE THE ONE THIS - WEEK. - >> THEY HAVE TO JUST KEEP ON IT. - WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK AT - IT. - LOOK AT THE TRAINING PROGRAMS, - MAKE THEM STRONGER, MOVE ON - THEM.

- LOOK, I REMEMBER IT'S A LITTLE - BIT LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A - KID, I CAME BACK FROM LAW - SCHOOL, MY CITY HAD BEEN BURNED - DOWN, 20% BURNED TO THE GROUND, - OCCUPIED BY THE NATIONAL GUARD - AND TOLD WE WERE NEVER GOING TO - BE ABLE TO GET ANY BETTER, - THINGS WERE JUST NEVER GOING TO - CHANGE. - WELL, THEY'VE CHANGED - CONSIDERABLY. - THE CITY, AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND - ALL OTHERS ARE INTEGRATED - TOGETHER NOW. - NOT TOTALLY, BUT THERE'S A - TOTALLY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCE - THAN IT WAS. - SO THINGS HAVE GOTTEN, ON A - MACRO SENSE -- BUT, STILL, IF - YOU'RE A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN OR - CHILD, YOU'RE GOING TO WORRY - WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE - WHETHER OR NOT YORE GOING TO - BE THE VICTIM OF WHAT GEORGE - WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT BECAUSE - YOU'RE BLACK, IT'S STILL A GRAVE - CONCERN. - BUT THE IDEA IT'S NOT ANY - BETTER, I THINK -- LOOK, THE - OTHER THING THE -- I WILL JUST - BE VERY BLUNT WITH YOU -- I - THINK THIS PRESIDENT HAS STOKED - RACISM FROM THE TIME HE MADE A

- MORAL EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THOSE - FOLKS COMING OUT OF FIELDS IN - CHARLOTTESVILLE CARRYING TORCHES - AND THEIR VEINS BULGING AND - CARRYING NAZI FLAGS ACCOMPANIED - BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND A - YOUNG GIRL GETS KILLED AND HE - SAYS THEY'RE MORAL EQUIVALENTS, - GOOD PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES. - IT MATTERS WHAT PRESIDENTS SAY. - >> Woodruff: SO, FINALLY, WE - SEE PRESIDENT OBAMA -- I'M SORRT - NIGHT SPEAKING ABOUT LOOTING - LEADS TO SHOOTIN - TODAY THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING - HE DIDN'T MEAN -- HE WASN'T - TRYING TO THREATEN VIOLENCE. - WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE IN THE - LAST DAY OR SO AS PRESIDENT TO - PREVENT THE KIND OF FRUSTRATION - AND ANGER THAT'S SPILLED OVER IN - CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY? - >> I'M NOT SURE I COULD PREVENT - IT, BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE HEATED - IT UP. - HE SAID THEY BEGIN TO LOOT, WE - SHOOT. - THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, OKAY, AND - THAT'S NOT A PHRASE THAT ANY - PRESIDENT I WOULD -- THAT I

- WOULD THINK WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR - A PRESIDENT TO MAKE, NUMBER ONE. - NUMBER TWO, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON - THE AIR -- I'M NOT SAYING IT - WOULD HAVE STOPPED IT, BUT WHAT - I AM SAYING IS I WOULD HAVE - SPOKEN TO IT, IMMEDIATELY, - IMMEDIATELY. - I DID SPEAK TO IT. - I'M T PRESIDENT, BUT I DID - SPEAK TO IT. - WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT - YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO THE - BOTTOM OF THIS, THAT JUSTICE - WILL BE DONE, WE'RE GOING FOLLOW - THIS TO THE END, THE CIVIL - RIGHTS DEPARTMENT, THE JUSTICE - DEPARTMENT ARE GOING TO - INTERVENE AND DETERMINE WHAT - ACTION CAN AND SHOULD BE TAKEN, - IF IT'S NOT TAKEN BY THE STATE. - THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND - WHAT HAPPENED IN MISSOURI WHEN - WE WERE THERE, THE POLICE CHIEF - AND THE MAYOR IMMEDIATELY FIRED - THE POLICE OFFICERS AND BROUGHT - CHARGES. - SO, YOU KNOW, BAD THINGS ARE - GOING TO HAPPEN, AND IT'S REALLY - FRIGHTENING. - NOW, THIS IS NO TIME FOR - INCENDIARY TWEETS, NO TIME TO - ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE. - THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS AND WE - NEED REAL LEADERSHIP AND WE NEED - LEADERSHIP TO BRING EVERYONE TO - THE TABLE SO WE CAN ROOT OUT

- THESE SYSTEMATIC RACIST - ACTIVITIES THAT GO ON. - AND I'M NOT SAYING I GUARANTEE - WE'LL GET IT DONE, BUT YOU HAVE - TO SPEAK TO IT. - YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE ON IT. - YOU CAN'T LET UP ON IT. - >> Woodruff: VICE PRESIDENT - JOE BIDEN, WE THANK YOU VERY - MUCH. - >> THANK YOU, JUDY. - >> Woodruff: NOW AMNA NAWAZ - CONTINUES OUR CONVERSATION ABOUT - SOME OF THE LARGER UNDERLYING - ISSUES SURROUNDING ALL OF THIS. - IT'S PART OF OUR ONGOING SERIES - RACE MATTERS. - >> Nawaz: IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS - SINCE GEORGE FLOYD DIED IN - POLICE CUSTODY. - SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN - PEACEFUL PROTESTS, VIOLENT - CLASHES, AND PERSISTENT CALLS - FOR JUSTICE. - BUT THOSE FOUR DAYS ARE ABOUT - MUCH MORE THAN JUST THIS MOMENT

- IN TIME. - JOINING ME TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS - EDDIE GLAUDE, JR., CHAIR OF THE - DEPARTMENT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN - STUDIES AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, - AND THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK - "BEGIN AGAIN: JAMES BALDWIN'S - AMERICA AND ITS URGENT LESSONS - FOR OUR OWN." - WELCOME. - EDDIE GLAUDE, WELCOME TO THE - "NewsHour". - LET'S START WITH THE NEWS OF - TODAY. - IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS, AS I - MENTIONED. - IT TOOK VIDEO DOCUMENTING A - MAN'S DEATH AND DAYS OF PROTEST, - BUT THE OFFICER WAS ARRESTED - TODAY. - WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO THAT? - >> IT'S A GREAT FIRST STEP. - DOESN'T DISPEL THE DEEP - DISTRUST. - WE HAVE SEEN, BEFORE, OFFICERS - ARRESTED OR INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS - ARRESTED, AND THE PROCESS OF -- - THE JUDICIAL PROCESS TAKING - PLACE, AND MANY OF THOSE SAME - FOLKS HAVE BEEN ACQUITTED. - SO THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. - IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY STEP, - GIVEN WHAT WE SAW ON THE VIDEO, - BUT WE DON'T WANT TO OVER-- - OVERREACH. - YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS WANT TO

- CONGRATULATE OURSELVES IN THESE - SOS OF MOMENTS. - WE JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS - AS THE FIRST, PERHAPS, OBVIOUS - STEP THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE - FOUR DAYS AGO. - >> Reporter: WE'VE ALSO SEEN - NIGHT AFTER NIGHT OF GROWING - TENSIONS, PEOPLE'S FRUSTRATIONS - COMING OUT INTO THE STREETS. - THE OTHER PIECE TODAY IS THE - MAYOR ANNOUNCE AGO CURFEW AND - THE STATE OF EMERGENCY. - IS THAT THE RIGHT MOVE RIGHT - NOW? - >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A - MAYOR OF A MAJOR CITY IN THE - UNITED STATES. - I DON'T WANT TO PRESUME, BUT I - DO WANT TO SAY THIS, THOUGH, - THAT IF ANGER IS -- THE ANGER - THAT WAS EXPRESSED OVER THE LAST - FEW DAYS AND ESPECIALLY LAST - NIGHT REFLECTS, I THINK, A KIND - OF ACCUMULATED GRIEVANCE, YOU - KNOW. - AND IN THE WAY IN WHICH WE TELL - THE STORY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN - POLITICS, WE ALWAYS WANT TO KIND - OF BRACKET ANGER. - WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ANGRY IN - PUBLIC. - AND IN SOME WAYS, ANGER, GOING - BACK TO THE ANCIENTS, ALL THE - WAY BACK TO ARISTOTLE, ANNOUNCED - SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED HERE. - IT PUTS FOLK ON NOTICE THAT

- SOMETHING MUST CHANGE, AND IT'S - NOT JUST SIMPLY A SPONTANEOUS - AC, IT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF, - SHALL WE SAY, AS I SAID EARLIER, - ACCUMULATED GREVOUS. - SO THERE IS A CURFEW. - FOLKS WILL, PERHAPS, CALM DOWN, - BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT - ANGER, IN THIS INSTANCE, LIGHTLY - EXPRESSED IS THE PRE-CONDITION - FOR A GENERAL AND, I THINK, - APPROPRIATE CORRECTION OF THE - UNDERLYING PROBLEMS THAT DEFINE - THE LIFE OF BLACK FOLK IN - MINNEAPOLIS AND IN SOME WAYS - ACROSS THE COUNTRY. - >> Reporter: AND, OF COURSE, - NONE OF THIS IS HAPPENING IN A - VACUUM. - YOU SAW MANY OF THE PROTESTERS - OUT THERE WEARING MASKS. - YOU CAN'T FORGET ALL OF THIS IS - UNFOMEDDING ON TOP TO HAVE THE - HEALTH CRISIS, A PANDEMIC - DISPROPORTIONATELY KILLING BLACK - AMERICANS. - I WANT TO READ A SHORT QUOTE - FROM YOU TODAY, YOU SAID HOW - DOES ONE LIVE IN SUCH A TIME, - FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS WHO LOST - LOVED ONES AND THEIR JOBS WHO

- FIND THEMSELVES IN LONG LINES AT - FOOD BANKS WHO HAVE TO DEAL WITH - THE ON GOING STRESS OF A VIRUS - THAT CAN STRIKE AT ANY MOMENT, - HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE TRAUMA AND - TERROR OF SEEING ANOTHER BLACK - PERSON KILLED BY POLICE, AND YOU - USE THE WORD "ANOTHER" BECAUSE - WE'VE SEEN VIDEO AFTER VIDEO. - WHAT'S THE CUMULATIVE TOLL OF - THOSE VIDEOS? - >> OH, MY GOD I MEAN, FOR THOSE - OF US WHO HAVE TO WATCH IT AND - THEN WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OUR - CHILDREN AND OUR BROTHERS AND - SISTERS AND OUR UNCLES ANDAUNTS - AND FRIENDS, ALL RIGHT, IT - INCREASES THE LEVELS OF STRESS - AND WORRY AND CONCERN. - YOU KNOW, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT - EVERY MAJOR URBAN UPRISING IN - THIS COUNTRY, BRACKETING 168 - AFTER THE MURDER AND THE - ASSASSINATION OF DR. KING, EVERY - LAST ONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN - ROOTED, SINCE '64, GOING BACK - INTO THE 1940s, IN SOMMER FORM - OF ENCOUNTER WITH POLICE, SOME - FORM OF POLICE BRUTALITY OR SOME - ACT IN WHICH THE POLICE HAVE IN - SOME WAYS HARMED OR EVEN

- MURDERED A BLACK PERSON. - SO HERE WE ARE IN THE MOMENT IN - WHICH WE'RE DEALING WITH A - GLOBAL PANDEMIC, TRYING TO - FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIVE UNDER - THESE CONDITIONS, AND WE STILL - HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT - OUR CHILDREN, THAT OUR FAMILY - MEMBERS, THAT OUR FRIENDS COULD - BE MURDERED BY THE POLICE. - IT MAKES LIVING HARD. - IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT, IN A - MOMENT THAT'S ALREADY DIFFICULT - AND HARD. - >> Reporter: WE COME BACK - AGAIN AND AGAIN TO THIS QUESTION - OF WHEN WILL IT CHANGE, HOW WILL - IT CHANGE. - I SPOKE TO A POLICE CHIEF WHO IS - HIMSELF A BLACK MAN AND HE SAID - I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE CAN - ASK PEOPLE TO HAVE COLOR TO DO. - I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE CAN - ASK BLACK MEN TO SAY OR DO THAT - HASN'T ALREADY BEEN SAID OR - DONE, UNTIL THE PEOPLE WHO - AREN'T AFFECTED ARE AS OUTRAGED - AS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE, NOTHING - WILL CHANGE. - DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT? - >> I UNDERSTAND IT. - I DON'T THINK WE CAN WAIT ON - THOSE WHO ARE INVESTED IN THE - IDEA OF WHITENESS TO CHANGE.

- IF WE DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO - LOSE ANOTHER GENERATION. - THOSE WHO ARE INVESTED IN THE - IDEA OF AMERICA AS A WHITE - NATION IN THE VEIN OF OLD EUROPE - CLINGING TO THOSE COMMITMENTS - AND, IN -- AND IN THE INTERIM, - WE KEEP LOSING PEOPLE. - THOSE HAVE WHO HAVE LEARNED - E LESSONS OF OUR HISTORY, WHO - WANT TO IMAGINE AMERICA - DIFFERENTLY, WE HAVE TO START - BUILDING A WORLD WHERE THOSE - KINDS OF BELIEFS HAVE NO CORNER - TO BREATHE. - VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN NEEDED TO - SAY, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS HOLD - POLICE ACCOUNBLE, WHAT WE NEED - TO DO IS DECRIMINALIZE, RIGHT, A - WHOLE HOST OF ACTIONS THAT FORCE - THESE ENCOUNTERS. - WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY POLICE - SEE BRAC BLACK MEN AND WOMEN, R. - WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE - FUNDAMENTAL UNDERLYING - CONDITIONS OF RESOURCE-DEPRIVED - COMMUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE DON'T - HAVE A LIVING WAGE, WHERE THEY - DON'T HAVE DECENT EDUCATION, - WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE DECENT - HOUSING.

- ALL OF THIS IS ROOTED IN THIS - BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS A WHITE - NATION. - IF WE HAVE TO WAIT ON THOSE FOLK - WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THAT, - AMERICA WILL CONTINUE TO BE THIS - UGLY PLACE. - SO I BELIEVE, IN MY HEART OF - HEARTS, THAT YOU AND I AND THOSE - OF US WHO ARE COMMITTED TO A - MORE JUST AMERICA, A NEW - AMERICA, WE HAVE TO GET ABOUT - THE BUSINESS OF BUILDING IT. - NOW, COVID HAS CHANGED - EVERYTHING. - HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. - WE CAN'T GO BACK TO WHAT WAS. - WE CAN'T ALLOW PEOPLE TO DOBLE - DOWN ON THEIR UGLY COMMITMENTS. - WE HAVE TO FINALLY MUSTER THE - COURAGE TO BUILD A NEW AMERICA - OR THIS THING WILL GO TO HELL. - THAT'S A BIT MELODRAMATIC BUT I - THIK YOU GET THE POINT. - >> Reporter: I DO, INDEED, AND - IT WAS VERY WELL SAID AND I - APOLOGIZE, WE ONLY HAVE A FEW - SECONDS LEFT, BUT I HAVE TO ASK - YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID WHEN YOU - WATCHED THE VIDEO OF GEORGE - FLOYD THAT YOU WE WANT, AND YOU - DIG INTO THE DARK CHAPTERS OF - AMERICAN HISTORY AND SPEND YOUR

- THAT'S IN RESPONSE TO CHINA'S - NEW SECURITY LEGISLATION IN THE - TERRITORY, AND BEIJING'S - HANDLING OF THE COVID-19 - OUTBREAK. - PRO-DEMOCRACY ADVOCATES SAID - CHINA'S CRACKDOWN TIGHTENS THE - COUNTRY'GRIP ON THE SEMI- - AUTONOMOUS CITY. - THE PRESIDENT DENOUNCED THE NEW - LEGISLATION THIS AFTERNOON IN - THE WHITE HOUSE ROSE GARDEN. - >> CHINA HAS REPLACED ITS - PROMISED FORMULA OF ONE COUNTRY - TWO SYSTEMS, WITH A ONE COUNTRY - ONE SYSTEM. - MY ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY WILL - AFFECT THE FULL RANGE OF - AGREEMENTS WE HAVE WITH HONG - KONG, FROM OUR EXTRADITION - TREATY TO OUR EXPORT CONTROLS, - ON DUAL USE TECHNOLOGIES AND - MORE, WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS. - >> Woodruff: FOR MORE ON THE - PRESIDENT'S ANNOUNCEMENT, I'M - JOINED BY CK SCHIFRIN. - SO, NICK, TELL US THE - SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT THE WHITE - HOUSE IS ANNOUNCING. - >> Reporter: JUDY, I TALKED TO - EXPERTS ON CHINA ON BOTH SIDES - OF THE AISLE AND THEY

- ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRESIDENT'S - RHETORIC WAS AGGRESSIVE BUT NOT - AS AGGRESSIVE AS IT COULD HAVE - BEEN, AND NOT WITH AS MANY - SPECIFICS AS THERE COULD HAVE - BEEN TO RESPOND TO BEIJING'S - FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERING - HONG KONG'S FREEDOMS. - LET'S GO THROUGH WHAT THE - PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED. - THE FIRST OF FOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS - WAS REVOKING HONG KONG SPECIAL - STATUS. - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? - VISA FREE LAVL, TARIFF-FREE - TRADE, CONTROLS ON EXPORTING - TECHNOLOGY TO HONG KONG. - NUMBER TWO, SANCTIONED SENIOR - COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS. - THREE, BLOCKING CHINESE - POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS AND - RESEARCHERS WHO HAVE ANY - CONNECTION TO THE CHINESE - MILITARY FROM ENTERING THE U.S., - AND POSSIBLY EVICTING POST-GRADS - WHO ARE ALREADY HERE WITH THAT - SAME CONNECTION. - NUMBER FOUR, WARNING TRAVELERS - TO HONG KONG THAT THEY CAN - BASICALLY BE SURVEILLED - ELECTRONICALLY BY BEIJING. - AS YOU SAID, IN ADDITION, THE - PRESIDENT WITHDRAW FROM THE - WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND - REDIRECTED THEHUNDREDS OF - MILLIONS DOLLARS THAT THE U.S. - SENDS TO WORLD HEALTH - ORGANIZATION TO OTHER

- ORGANIZATIONS AND COUNTRIES. - HE SAYS THE WORLD HEALTH - ORGANIZATION IS CONTROLLED BY - BEIJING AND DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO - SOUND THE ALARM ABOUT THE - CORONAVIRUS. - THE CRITICS SAY THIS IS TERRIBLE - TIMING DURING THIS PANDEMIC TO - DO THIS. - SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER, - REPUBLICAN OF TENNESSEE AND - CHAIR OF THE SENATE HEALTH - COMMITTEE SAYING TONIGHT, I - DISAGREE. - ALSO THE AMERICAN MEDICAL - ASSOCIATION SAYING, THIS - ANNOUNCEMENT, QUOTE, MAKES - FINDING A WAY OUT OF THIS PUBLIC - HEALTH CRISIS DRAMATICALLY MORE - CHALLENGING. - >> Woodruff: AND, NICK, WITH - REGARD TO CHINA, WHAT'S BEEN - HAPPENING THERE, HOW FAR DOES - ALL THIS GO TOWARD ACTUALLY - CHANGING THE STATUS OF - HONG KONG? - >> Reporter: THAT IS THE KEY - QUESTION TONIGHT, JUDY. - AS I SAID, ACCORDING TO THE - CHINA EXPERTS I'M TALKING TO, - THE RHETORIC WAS AGGRESSIVE, BUT - QUESTIONS WHAT ARE THE ACTIONS. - IF THE ADMINISTRATION FOLLOWS - THROUGH, RESTRICTS TRAVEL, - IMPOSES TARIFFS, THAT WOULD BE A - FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE STATUS - OF HONG KONG, IT WOULD ALSO - ACCELERATE A TREND THAT'S - ALREADY BEGUN TO HAPPEN. - BASICALLY HONG KONG BECOMES - ANOTHER CHINESE CITY, AND

- AMERICAN BUSINESSES WOULD HAVE - TO MAKE A DECISION OF WHETHER TO - STAY AND LIVE UNDER THE - COMMUNIST PARTY RULES OR LEAVE - THE CITY. - BUT THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T PROVIDE - A TIME FRAME FOR THAT, NOR DID - HE PROVIDE A LOT OF SPECIFICS, - ONLY THAT HE WOULD START THAT - PROCESS. - AND HE ALSO DIDN'T DO OTHER - OPTIONS THAT SOME PEOPLE WANTED - HIM TO DO. - HE COULD HAVE PULLED OUT OF THE - TRADE DEAL, HE COULD HAVE - EVICTED MORE CHINESE STUDENTS - WHO ARE IN THE U.S., HE COULD - HAVE SANCTIONED CHINESE - FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. - THE EXPERTS I TALK TO SAY IT'S A - TOUGH BALANCING ACT BETWEEN - SAVING CHINA, SAVING HONG KONG'S - SPECIAL STATUS BUT ALSO - PUNISHING BEIJING, AND THEY SAY - THIS ISN'T ENOUGH TO GET BEIJING - TO, FOR EXAMPLE, PULL OUT OF THE - TRADE DEAL, BUT IT'S ALSO NOT - GOING TO TOP BEIJING FROM - CONTINUING TO ERODE HONG KONG'S - FREEDOMS, JUDY. - >> Woodruff: NICK SCHIFRIN - FOLLOWING THIS VERY COMPLEX - STORY. - NICK, WE THANKOU. - AND BACK IN - MISSOURI'S ONLY ABORTION CLINIC - WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN OPEN. - A STATE ARBITER RULED THE HEALTH - DEPARTMENT WAS WRONG TO DENY A - LICENSE RENEWAL TO THE PLANNED

- PARENTHOOD FACILITY IN ST. - LOUIS. - HAD IT CLOSED, MISSOURI WOULD - HAVE BECOME THE FIRST STATE IN - THE NATION WITHOUT AN ABORTION - CLINIC SINCE 1974. - IN ECONOMIC NEWS, U.S. CONSUMER - SPENDING FELL A RECORD 13.6% IN - APRIL, AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC - FORCED BUSINESSES TO CLOSE AND - LAY OFF MILLIONS OF WORKERS. - AND, STOCKS WERE MIXED ON WALL - STREET TODAY. - THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE - FELL 17 POINTS TO CLOSE AT - 25,383. - THE NASD ROSE 121 POINTS, AND - THE S&P 500 ADDED 14. - STILL TO COME ON THE NEWSHOUR: - MARK SHIELDS AND DAVID BROOKS - BREAK DOWN AMERICA AT A - CROSSROADS. - PLUS, WE TAKE A MOMENT TO - REMEMBER SOME OF THE REMARKABLE - LIVES LOST TO COVID-19. - >> Woodruff: NOW WE TURN TO THE - ANALYSIS OF SHIELDS AND BROOKS.

- THAT'S SYNDICATED COLUMNIST MARK - SHIELDS AND "NEW YORK TIMES" - COLUMNIST DAD BROOKS. - HELLO TO BOTH OF YOU. - DAVID, LET'S START WITH WHAT - VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD TO SAY - THIS EVENING ON THE "NewsHour" - IN RESPONSE TO WHAT'S HAPPENED - IN MINNEAPOLIS. - HOW DO YOU READ HIS MESSAGE? - >> I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN IT, TO - BE HONEST. - YOU KNOW, I THINK COLLECTIVELY - WE'VE HAD ONE OF THE WORST WKS - OF OUR LIVES. - 100,000 DEAD, AN ECONOMY STILL - IN FREE FALL, WEIRD CONSPIRACY - THEORIES IN THE BEGINNING, JOE - SCARBOROUGH, RACIST INCIDENT IN - CENTRAL PARK, MURDER IN - MINNEAPOLIS. - I WANT TO SEE OUTRAGE. - I WANT TO SEE A PRESIDENT WHO'S - GROWN MORE CONTEMPTIBLE BY THE - DAY INCLUDING HIS TWEETS IN - MINNEAPOLIS. - I WANT TO SEE A MORE AGGRESSIVE - DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER WHO'S - REALLY GOT BROAD ARGUMENTS FOR - COLLECTIVE CHANGE, STRUCTURAL

- CHANGE. - I WANT TO SEE A CANDIDATES WHO - IS AS ANGRY AS HE OUGHT TO BE, - TO BE HONEST, AND I UNDERSTD - HE'S TRYING TO BE MODERATE AND - NOT WHIP UP FLAMES AND THAT'S - ALL TO THE GOOD, HE WANTS TO WIN - OVER SWING VOTERS, BUT THIS HAS - BEEN AN EXHAUSTING AND A - TERRIBLE WEEK, AND I WANT TO SEE - A LEADER WHO CAN REFLECT WHAT WE - HAVE BEEN LIVING THROUGH. - >> Woodruff: MARK, WHAT ARE - YOU HEARING? - SOMEONE TOO MODERATE? - >> I AGREE WITH DAVID, IT'S BEEN - A RRIBLE, HORRIBLE WEEK, BUT, - JUDY, THIS IS A PRESIDENTIAL - YEAR. - IT'S A POLITICAL DECISION. - AMERICAN VOTERS HAVE A RATHER - STRANGE QUIRK, WHICH REPEATS - ITSELF, AND THAT IS WHEN A - PRESIDENDISAPPOINTS THEM, THEY - GO LOOKING, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR - WHAT WAS MISSING IN THAT - PRESIDENT IN HIS SUCCESSOR. - AND I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THE - ONLY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY WHO'S - NEVER OBTAINED POSITIVE JOB - RATING FROM THE HIS FELLOW

- CITIZENS, THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS - DISAPPOINTED A LOT OF PEOPLE, - AND I THINK WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING - FOR IS MATURITY. - I THINK THEY'RE LOOKING FOR - RESTRAINT. - I THINK THEY'RE LOOKING FOR - SOMEBODY WHO'S A UNITER AND NOT - A DIVIDER, AND I THINK THAT'S - WHAT THE JOB DESCRIPTION THAT - JOE BIDEN HAS TO FILL IN 2020. - WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ON THE - "NewsHour" TONIGHT WAS - THOUGHTFUL, WAS RESTRAINED, WAS - MATURE. - IT WAS NOT STIRRING, AS DAVID - WAS LOOKING FOR, BUT I REALLY - THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PPLE, - THE AMERICAN VOTERS ARE LOOKING - FOR THAT MATURITY AND THAT - JUDGMENT IN 2020. - >> DAVID, WHAT ABOUT THAT? - IT'S A FAIR POINT. - WE WANT MATURITY, WE DON'T WANT - SOMEBODY WHO'S GOING TO GO OFF - CRAZY, BUT YOU CAN ERR ON THE - OTHER SIDE, AND I DO THINK WHAT - THIS PANDEMIC HAS DONE HAS - EXPOSED, AS EVERYONE KEEPS - SAYING, THE STRUCTURAL RAVINES - IN OUR SOCIETY, AND I DO THINK

- THERE IS A HUNGER FOR CHANGE AND - CHANGE OF SOME SIGNIFICANT - NATURE. - I'M SURE OF IT. - I'M NOT FOR REVOLUTION, BUT I AM - FOR A COMPREHENSIVE AGENDA SO - THAT, WHEN THE GEORGE FLOYDS OF - THE WORLD GROW UP IN WARD THREE - OF HOUSTON WHERE HE HAD BEEN - LIVING FOR SO MANY YEARS AGO AND - THEY'RE GOING TO CHURCH EVERY - WEEK AND SERVING IN THEIR - COMMUNITIES, SPREADING THEIR - FAITH, AND THEN THEY GO OFF TO - MINNEAPOLIS, THEY'RE NOT GOING - OFF TO A WORLD OF DANGER AND - THEY'RE NOT LIVING IN WARD THREE - HOUSTON IN A WORLD OF DANGER, - AND I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, - CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF THOSE - NEIGHBORHOODS HAS TO BE ON THE - AGENDA HERE, NOT JUST POLICE - TRAINING. - AND I'M SURE BIDEN BELIEVES - THIS, BUT I JUST THINK THAT IT'S - GOT TO BE ARTICULATED. - >> Woodruff: IT'S A TALL - ORDER, TO PUT IT MILDLY, TO - CHANGE SO MANY OF THE THINGS - THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. - MARK, HOW DOES A PRESIDENTIAL - CANDIDATE -- I MEAN, THERE'S A

- LOT OF UNDERSTANDABLE - FRUSTRATION, EVEN ANGER ON THE - PART -- NOT JUST IN THE - AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, ON - THE PART OF MANY AMERICANS - WATCHING WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT'S - THE RIGHT WAY TO EXPRESS THAT? - >> WELL, AND, JUDY, I MEAN, - THERE IS A LEGITIMATE, AUTHENTIC - OUTRAGE, AND THERE SHOULD BE. - I MEAN, MR. FLOYD JOINED THE - RANKS OF ERROL GARNER AND - FREDDIE GRAY, OF UNARMED BLACK - MEN WHO DIED IN POLICE CUSTODY, - AND THE FACT THAT BLACKS DIE AT - A RATE TWICE AS HIGH AS WHITES - ON A PER CAPITA BASIS UNDER - POLICE VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY - IS UNACCEPTABLE. - THE IRONY IS AND REMAINS THAT IN - THE POOREST OF COMMUNITIES, - WHICH ARE OFTEN CRIME-RIDDEN, - THERE'S A GREATER DEPENDENCY ON - THE POLICE FOR SAFETY, AND THE - RELATIONS BETWEEN THE POLICE AND

- THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN THIS - COUNTRY ARE IMPORTANT, AND THIS, - OBVIOUSLY, SABOTAGES AND - UNDERMINES IT. - BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY - QUESTION THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - HEALING RATHER THAN DIVIDING. - BUT REMEMBER THIS, JUDY, WE HAD - THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE - HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY ELECTED - TWICE, ELECTED AND REELECTED, - AND HE WAS SUCCEEDED BY THE - PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM OF - BIRTHER-ISM, A MAN WHO DEALS IN - THEORIES THAT ARE SO - UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRATIONAL, - CHARGING HIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT - TED CRUZ'S FATHER, WHO FLED - CASTRO'S CUBA, WAS INVOLVED IN - THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT - KENNEDY. - I MEAN, SO THIS IS THE POLITICAL - LANDSCAPE IN WHICH WE'RE - DEALING, AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK - THAT'S THE HARSH REALITY OF - 2020.

- >> Woodruff: AND NOT ONLY - THAT, DAVID, COMING BACK TO WHAT - I THINK YOU SAID IN YOUR FIRST - COMMENT ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP, - THIS WEEK, NOT JUST IN THE - COMMENTS LAST NIGHT ABOUT - LOOTING AND SHOOTING, BUT IN - OTHER COMMENTS THIS WEEK, - THAT -- I MEAN, TWITTER - INSTITUTED A NEW POLICY WHERE - THEY FLAGGED SOME OF THE - PRESIDENT'S TWEETS, INCLUDING - ONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH - MINNEAPOLIS. - ARE WE SLIDING DOWN A SLIPPERY - SLOPE HERE? - CAN WE COME BACK FROM A PLACE - WHERE WE ARE NOW WHERE PRETTY - MUCH ANYTHING GOES, NOT JUST IN - SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT IN PUBLIC - DISCOURSE? - >> WE'RE AT THE BOTTOM OF SOME - BIG MOUNTAIN IN THE ALPS. - WHAT TRUMP SAID ABOUT LOOTING - AND SHOOTING, HE DIDN'T MAKE - THAT UP. - HE GOT THAT FROM A 1968 MIAMI - POLICE CHIEF WHO WAS A LAW AND - ORDER "LET'S GET THE THUGS," AND - THAT'S NOT AN INNOCENT PHRASE.

- THAT IS A PHRASE THAT HAS A LONG - HISTORY OF BRUTALITY BEHIND IT. - SO HE WENT TO THAT PHRASE, - PULLINGY KNOWING WHAT IT WAS - GOING TO LEAD TO. - AND IT FOLLOWS A WEEK -- YOU - KNOW, I HAPPENED TO BE ON - MORNING JOE TUESDAY WHEN A - DIGNIFIED LETTER WAS WRITTEN OUT - FROM THE I DON'T THINK WOMAN WHO - DIED IN SCARBOROUGH'S OFFICE 199 - YEARS AGO, AND IT WAS A MAN JUST - TRYING TO DEFEND THE DIGNITY OF - HIS FAMILY AGAINST RUGER - MONGERING FROM THE PRESIDENT, - AND I FELT THAT WAS GOING TO BE - THE BOTTOM OF THE WEEK, AND THAT - WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE - WEEK. - SO WHAT TWITTER DID TO THE - TWEETS TO MARK IT BUT NOT - ELIMINATE IT IS THE RIGHT THING. - I THINK PEOPLE NEETO SEE WHAT - DONALD TRUMP IS DOING AND I - REMAIN RESOLVED THIS COUNTRY CAN - BE UNITED AGAINST RACISM BUT - MARKING IT BECAUSE WE SHOULD - HAVE STANDARDS. - AN INTERNET PLATFORM HAS THE - ABILITY TO REGULATE WHAT'S ON - THE PLATFORM, AND WITHOUT HAVING

- LIABILITY FOR IT, AND THAT'S - WHAT THE LAW SAYS. - SO TWITTER BASICALLY ADOPTED THE - RIGHT POLICY AND THE ASSAULT ON - TWITTER WHICH THE TRUMP - ADMINISTRATION SEEMS TO BE - TRYING TO DO IS AN ATTEMPT TO - DENY EVERY PLATFORM'S RIGHT TO - HAVE STANDARDS OF DECENCY. - >> AND, MARK, THIS HAPPENS TO BE - THE PLATFORM THAT - PRESIDENT TRUMP, I GUESS HE HAD - SOMETHING LIKE 80-SOME MILLION - FOLLOWERS, THIS IS THE PLATFORM - HE USES TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS - FOUFOLLOWERS. - WHEN IT WAS SUGGESTED HE DELETE - THE ACCOUNT, HIS ANSWER WAS, NO, - THIS IS THE WAY I TALK TO THE - AMERICAN PEOPLE, TO THE WORLD. - >> WELL, NOT SIMPLY TO - COMMUNICATE WI HIS OWN - FOLLOWERS, JUDY, IT'S WHERE THE - PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES - APPOINTMENTS, FIRINGS, CHANGES - OF POLICY, ADDRESSES THE WORLD. - DONALD TRUMP CRITICIZING TWITTER - IS LIKE A WHALE CRITICIZING THE - OCEANO. - I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE HE LIVES, - THAT'S WHERE HE THRIVES, AND I - DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY CAN

- DISPUTE THAT. - I THINK THE ENCOURAGING SIGN IS - THE CRITICISM OF HIM, ESPECIALLY - ON THE SMEARING OF JOE - SCARBOROUGH AND THE ALLEGATION - OF SOMEHOW HE'S INVOLVED IN THE - DEATH OF A WOMAN WHO DIED WHEN - HE WAS 800 MILES AWAY, ONE MONTH - AFTER HE HAD ANNOUNCED HIS - RETIREMENT FROM THE HOUSE OF - REPRESENTATIVES, I THINK THE - ENCOURAGING SIGN IS WHEN THE - WASHINGTON EXAMINER AND THE - "WALL STREET JOURNAL" AND EVEN - THE NEW YORK POST TELL THE - PRESIDENT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, - THIS IS WRONG. - AND EVEN POLITICALLY, I THINK - YOU OKLAHOMA SEE LIZ CHENEY, - NUMBER THREE REPUBLICAN IN THE - HOUSE, NOW TWICE CRITICIZED THE - PRESIDENT, FIRST FOR HIS ATTACK - ON MARIE YOVANOVITCH, THE U.S. - AMBASSADOR TO YOU CAN, IN HIS - TWEETS, AND NOW IN HIS TWEETS ON - JOE SCARBOROUGH AND SAYING THIS - IS WRONG. - ICAN SEE THAT THERE IS A - POLITICAL ADVANTAGE SEEN BY SOME - REPUBLICANS, ANYWAY, TO DISTANCE

- THEMSELVES FROM DONALD TRUMP - AND, FOR THAT, I AM ENCOURAGED. - >> Woodruff: LAST THING I WANT - TO ASK BOTH OF YOU, AND THAT IS, - DAVID, THIS IS THE WEEK WE - MARKED 100,000 AMERICAN LIVES - LOST IN THIS PANDEMIC JUST IN A - MATTER OF JUST A FEW WEEKS. - I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK THE - QUESTION, BUT WHAT IS THERE TO - SAY AT A MOMENT LIKE THIS? - >> WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD - PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE LED US - THROUGH MOMENTS OF NATIONAL - MOURNING, AND THEY STEP OUT OF - POLITICS, AND THEY UNCLOAK - THEMSELVES AND JUST BECOME - SUFFERERS AMONG A SEA OF - SUFFERERS, AND THAT'S WHAT - BARACK OBAMA DID AFTER SANDY - HOOK, THAT'S WHAT ABRAHAM - LINCOLN DID AFTER GETTYSBURG, - GEORGE BUSH AFTER 9/11, REAGAN - AFTER CHALLENGER. - BARACK OBAMA SANG AMAZING GRACE. - THEY PICK THE THINGS THAT UNIT

- US AND BROADCAST IT BACK TO US - AND IT ALLOWS US TO HAVE THE - PRESENCE OF A COMFORTER, OF A - LEADER. - THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP - DIDN'T EVEN HAVE AN OVAL OFFICE - ADDRESS TO ME IS MIND BOGGLING. - SO WE'RE A COUNTRY WHO HAS TO - WALK THROUGH THIS HAIL STORM OF - TWITTER AT A TIME WHEN WE FEEL - VULNERABLE BECAUSE OF WHAT'S - HAPPENING AROUND US. - IT'S AN AWFUL MOMENT. - I HATE TO BE SUCH A DOWNER ON A - FRIDAY EVENING, BUT THIS HAS - BEEN A BAD, BAD WEEK. - I'M SORRY. - >> Woodruff: AND I HATE TO BE - BRINGING IT UP AT THE END OF - THIS WEEK, BUT, MARK, IN ABOUT - 20 SECONDS, HOW DO YOU PULL IT - TOGETHER? - >> WELL, JUDY, I MEAN, THIS IS A - UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR AMERICA - BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE DYING ARE - DYING ALONE WITHOUT THE COMFORT - OF THEIR FAMILY. - THEIR FAMILIES ARE DEPRIVED OF - THE COMFORTS OF THE RITUALS OF - WAKES D FUNERALS AND MEMORIAL - SERVICES AND THE COMPANY OF - FRIENDS AND SURVIVORS WHO COME - TO COMFORT THEM, AND, YOU KNOW, - AT A TIME WHEN WE REALLY DO NEED

- THE VOICE OF THAT LEADER WHO CAN - SPEAK TO ALL OF US AND FOR ALL - OF US, THAT IS MISSING, SADLY - MISSING. - DAVID MENTIONED ROBERT KENNEDY - IN INDIANAPOLIS, 1968 -- FULL - DISCLOSURE, I WAS WORKING FOR - HIM IN THAT PRESIDENTIAL - CAMPAIGN -- AND HE SAID TO THOSE - WHO ARE BLACK, THE ASSASSINATION - OF MARTIN LUTHER KING. - TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SEEK - VIOLENCE AND UNDERSTANDABLY, I - HAD A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY FOR - THE FIRST TIME SPOKE IN PUBLIC - ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION OF HIS - BROTHER WHO WAS KILLED BY A - WHITE MAN. - AMERICA NEEDS COMPASSION AND - LOVE AND PLEASE GO HOME AND SAY - A PRAYER FOR MARTIN LUTHER - KING'S FAMILY AND THE CON AND - THAT'S WHAT WE NEED -- AND THE - COUNTRY AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED - RIGHT NOW. - >> Woodruff: MARK SHIELDS, - DAVID BROOKS, WE THANK YOU BOTH. - >> Woodruff: AS ANOTHER GRIM - WEEK COMES TO A CLOSE, WE WANT
