>> Shannon: LAW AND ORDER AN
ISSUE IN THE 2020 ELECTION AND
SPORTS TEAMS ARE PROTESTING THE
SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE.
TENNESSEE PASSED A NEW LAW THAT
COULD STRIP PROTESTORS OF THEIR
VOTING RIGHTS.
WE TALK TO SENATOR FROM
TENNESSEE, MARSHA BLACKBURN.
I WANT TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE
BIDEN CAMPAIGN.
IT IS WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT LAW
AND ORDER AND WHO COULD FIX
WHAT.
>> THERE IS A FLAW WITH DONALD
TRUMP SAYING PEOPLE WON’T BE IN
DONALD TRUMP’S AMERICA WITH
THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN
DONALD TRUMP’S AMERICA.
>> SHE IS MISSING THE POINT.
THESE INCIDENCES ARE HAPPY IN
BLUE CITIES.
THIS IS A BLUE CITIES MAYOR’S
PROBLEMS.
THE FACT THEY WON’T KEEP LAW AND
ORDER IN THEIR CITIES IS
UNBELIEVABLE.
TALKING ABOUT SEATTLE OR
PORTLAND OR RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
PEOPLE ARE ASTOUNDED YOU DON’T
HAVE MAYORS STEPPING UPPING,
SUPPORTING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
IF THEY NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
ASKING THE GOVERNOR TO CALL IN
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN
THEIR COMMUNITIES ARE SAFE AND
THEIR FAMILIES WILL BE SAFE.
SHANNON, YES, WHEN I TALK TO
WOMEN, SECURITY MOMS ARE WHAT I
CALL THEM.
SAFETY, SECURITY AND LAW AND
ORDER IS A NUMBER 1 ISSUE IN
THIS ELECTION CYCLE.
>> Shannon: AGAINST THAT BACK
DROP, A COUPLE OF LAWS.
WHAT WAS JUST PASSED IN
TENNESSEE.
FIRST ONE IN VIRGINIA.
IT WENT THROUGH THE SENATE
ALLOWING JUDGES TO CONSIDER
LESSER CHARGES IN ASSAULTS OF
POLICE OFFICERS.
THE BILL’S SPONSOR A SENATOR
A DEMOCRAT TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT
THE BILL WOULD NOT DO.
IT DOESN’T DEFUND THE POLICE OR
GRANT ANYONE THE RIGHT TO
ASSAULT THEM.
IT WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT,
SENATOR?
>> WHAT I MAKE OF THAT IS THAT
THE VIRGINIA ASSEMBLY IS TONE
DEAF TO WHAT IS GOING ON -- THE
STREETS.
THE FEAR AND CONCERNS THAT
CITIZENS HAVE.
THEY WANT SAFE COMMUNITIES.
THEY ARE TONE DEAF TO THE
OFFICERS.
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WHY WOULD
YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER’S LIFE MORE
DIFFICULT?
WHY WOULD YOU LESSON A SENTENCE?
YOU HAVE OFFICERS WHO ARE
BEGINNING TO RETIRE OUT AND THEY
THEIR STATED REASON:
THEY FEEL AS IF THEY JUST CAN’T
TAKE IT.
THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
FAMILIES.
THEY ARE CONCERNED, WHAT HAPPENS
IF THEY LOSE THEIR LIFE?
IF THEY BECOME INJURED?
THEY ARE SEEING FOOTAGE EVERY
DAY IN CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WHERE YOU HAVE ANARCHISTS AND
RIOTERS AND LOOTERS WHO HAVE
DECLARED OPEN SEASON ON COPS.
I SAW FOOTAGE TODAY OF SOMEONE
THROWING A HUB CAB AT AN
OFFICER’S HEAD.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT
CONCERNED CITIZEN SS AND THE
REVOLUTIONARIES THAT ARE ON THE
STREETS.
THEY WANT THEM TO BE DEALT WITH.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS.
>> Shannon: IN TENNESSEE THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED A LAW.
IT’S A FELONY TO PARTICIPATE IN
SOME TIMES OF PROTESTS AND SOME
PEOPLE COULD LOSE THEIR VOTING
RIGHTS.
A SENATOR TWEETED ON IT SAYING
GATHERING TO PROTEST IS A FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHT AND THIS VIOLATE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND IT’S
VOTER SUPPRESSION.
YOUR TAKE ON THE TENNESSEE LAW?
>> I WILL LEAVE THIS TO THE
TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
THEY TOOK AN EXISTING LAW THAT
PROHIBITS CAMPING ON STATE
PROPERTY THAT IS NOT A CAMP
GROUND.
THEY MADE THAT A FELONY OFFENSE.
THEY DID IT BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY AND CONCERNS FOR
SAFETY.
>> Shannon: ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL WATCH AND SEE HOW THAT
PLAYS OUT.
TWO DIFFERENT LEGISLATIVE
APPROACHES IN VIRGINIA AND
