Hi everyone, this is Dr. Nitin Chhoda with
Ignition Time and boy do I have some
news for you today.
The federal government is likely to be
sued by one or more major states. 
In this video
i'll talk to you about a five-page memo
that was released by the White House
and reactions from the mayors
of New York city,
Portland, Seattle and DC.
So you're going to learn about that
in this video. My name is Dr. Nitin Chhoda,
thank you so much for visiting my
channel. If you do learn something new from this
channel please consider sharing it
with your friends and family because we
try and put out information that we feel everyone
should know. For us I want my viewers and
subscribers to know it's not about the
red or the blue, it's about the red white and blue.
I'm not a democrat, i'm not a republican,
i'm an American.
And although this video may seem like it is
like it is anti-President, it is not.
Because i'm going to present you with
both sides of the story and I want you to come to
your own decision. So
please make sure that you view this
information from both sides and then
decide where you
stand and let me know in the comments
section where you stand because
boy this is what is happening today
is highly unusual.
On your screen you'll see an article
from the Washington Post which talks
about a five-page memo
and the headline reads the White House
orders a review aimed at blocking
federal funding from places
administrations deem anarchist jurisdictions. This has
actually never happened before in the
history of our country.
And there's a five page memo this is a
memo from the White House
that says that certain places like Portland, Seattle
DC and in New York city should face
particular scrutiny.
And so President Trump in the past 48
hours approved a memo
that the White House says is intended to
restrict federal
funding from going to certain cities
that the administration
deems to be anarchist institutions and
this is uh this is highly unusual.
We've never seen any President prior
in the past doing this. So in a
five-page memo the President directed
the White House office of management and
budget to give guidance
to federal agencies on restricting
funding to pull
to two cities that defund their police
department.
The memo also directs the justice
department within 14 days to come up
with a list of localities that qualify as
"anarchist jurisdictions" and post
that list
publicly. The President has said that
there is a wide-ranging democratic plot
to defund police departments although
most prominent democrats
have rejected that approach. So the
President's memo states and
"my administration will not allow federal
tax dollars to fund cities that allow
themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones. It is
imperative that the federal
government review the use of federal
funds by jurisdictions
that permit anarchy violence and
destruction in America's cities." Now
we are in the middle of a pandemic, we're
in the middle of an economic crisis.
People are going hungry,
people are homeless, people have lost
their jobs so
this particular action at this
point in time weeks before an election
I mean uh you know you you tell me if it
makes sense to you or not. Let me know in
the comments section below
what do you think of this action this
initiative from the White House. Let me
know in the comments section below also
i i want to i want to invite viewers and
subscribers to
to share this information with other
with friends and family members and let
them ask them to comment below
because i want to hear what our
community thinks about this this
initiative
by the white house again please comment
below please share this video
because i do want to hear both sides
speaking of both sides i will share
a video clip from the mayor of new york
who who essentially shared his
perspective about this and
as you can imagine he wasn't very happy
he did talk about legal action
against the us government we're talking
about a state a major state and
for that matter probably more than one
major state talking about legal action
and talking about suing the federal
government
yep uh that's that is the year we live
in i mentioned this earlier
2020 is a year that all of us want to
forget but i think as citizens we need
to be aware of everything that's going
on and we need to be aware of both sides
which is what this channel is all about
let me repeat
for me it's not about the red or the
blue it's about the red white and blue
we are not at ignition time we aren't
democrats we aren't republicans we are
americans me and my entire team so
on your screen you will see a tweet from
jeff stein a reporter from the
washington post
who reported as per the memo the doj
will publish a public list of anarchist
jurisdictions
in 14 days i mean i honestly i don't
even like the sound of
anarchist jurisdictions but you know
that's
um that's my gut reaction to this all
u.s agencies will have to report all
federal funds going to seattle portal in
new york and dc
so it seems like specific jurisdictions
have been targeted and the word
anarchist has been used and in 30 days
white house will distribute guidance on
restricting money to anarchist
jurisdictions now let's be clear
something like this
is going to face a lot of resistance in
fact the next
let's take a look at the next tweet from
jeff stein president trump sign he's
talking about the memo
and uh per the memo the doj is supposed
to determine what anarchist
jurisdictions are in fact we'll put up
a screenshot of the memo on your screen
right now and you can see this is
directly from the memo
and it says here that in identifying
anarchist jurisdictions the attorney
general
shall consider as appropriate whether a
jurisdiction forbids the police force
from intervening to restore
order amid widespread or sustained
violence or destruction
and whether a jurisdiction has withdrawn
law enforcement protection from a
geographical area or structure
that law enforcement officers are
lawfully entitled to access
but have been officially prevented from
accessing or permitted to access only in
exceptional
circumstances and there are other there
are other factors and you can you can
take a look at the screenshot we will
link you to further information though
we'll provide you with a link to
information in the description section
below and it talks about whether a
jurisdiction disempowers or defunds
police departments and again you know
this this is where things stand right
now this is definitely going to face
a ton of legal challenges in fact
specifically
uh mayor bill de blasio from new york
was as you can imagine he had a strong
response to this i'm about to show you a
clip
from mayor bill de blasio from new york
and he basically
said that you know that what the
president is doing
is not right and he said he basically
said we asked you for testing
at the beginning of this crisis it never
came we asked you for stimulus to help
us back
or to help us get back on our feet you
didn't lift a finger we asked you for
the truth about the pandemic
so we could all move forward together
and you refused to tell new yorkers
and the american people what was going
on so you failed us and now you punish
us
and he said the supreme court has spoken
the president of the united states
cannot interfere with federal funding
for cities and states just because he
feels like it
we have laws in this country so if you
persist in trying to deny the funding
that's keeping new york city
going in the middle of this crisis we
will see you in court
oh lord yeah you know sometimes when i
report the news
um as as as a concerned citizen as a
citizen reporter
sometimes i can't believe what i'm
reporting myself and
this is one of the things that i can't
believe i'm reporting but
it is happening i want you to watch a
news clip
from with mayor bill de blasio from new
york let's roll the tape and i want you
to see this
for yourself let's roll the tape gotta
talk about something that
is very very troubling and that's what
we heard last night from the president
the president united states a new yorker
by birth
threatening to take away federal funding
from this city
while we're still in the grips of this
crisis
it just makes no sense it's a time when
we should be seeing
solidarity with new york city support
for new york city understanding for new
york city and we're seeing the opposite
so i want to speak directly to the
president mr president
we asked you to help new york city and
you weren't there for us
we asked you for testing beginning of
this crisis never came we asked you for
a stimulus to help us get back
on our feet you didn't lift a finger we
asked you for the truth
about the coronavirus so we could all
move forward together
and you refused to tell new yorkers and
the american people what was really
going on
so you failed us and now you want to
punish
us it makes no sense
by the way your words don't carry much
weight on this topic because the supreme
court has spoken
president united states can't interfere
with federal funding
for cities and states just because he
feels like it we have laws in this
country
so if you persist in trying to deny the
funding that's keeping new york city
going in the middle of this crisis
we will see you in court and once again
we will beat you in court
why don't we stop the words and get on
with some actual
action to help new york city and help
the people of this country that's what
we actually need and also since that
clip was released the mayors from all
the four cities that were referenced in
this memo
we're talking about mayor bill de blasio
from new york city portland mayor ted
wheeler seattle mayor jenny durkin
washington d.c uh marielle bowser
issued a joint statement that read as
follows our cities and the millions of
americans we represent are not president
trump's political pawns
we are confronting unprecedented
challenges fighting back a pandemic and
economic devastation without another
stimulus
now instead of leadership from the white
house we are faced with new attacks that
are unlawful
unconstitutional and will undoubtedly be
defeated in court
president trump needs to wake up to the
reality facing our cities and our entire
country
and realize he is not above the law that
is where things stand everybody thank

nitin shoda with ignition time

five-page memo and about the reaction
