I think we come at it from somewhat different perspectives. You know, Donald [Trump] was very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit.
I call it [Donald's Trump plan] trumped-up trickle-down, because that's exactly what it would be. That is not how we grow the economy.
We have to tackle the plague of gun violence.
I think that the decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake.
You know, the vibrancy of the black church, the black businesses that employ so many people, the opportunities that so many families are working to provide for their kids. There's a lot that we should be proud of and we should be supporting and lifting up.
Mental health is one of the biggest concerns, because now police are having to handle a lot of really difficult mental health problems on the street.
I've met with a group of very distinguished, experienced police chiefs a few weeks ago. They admit it's an issue. They've got a lot of concerns.
When it comes to policing, since it can have literally fatal consequences, I have said, in my first budget, we would put money into that budget to help us deal with implicit bias by retraining a lot of our police officers.
We've got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias.
There are things we can do [with violence], and we ought to do it in a bipartisan way.
Right now - and this is something Donald [Trump] has supported, along with the gun lobby - right now, we've got too many military- style weapons on the streets. In a lot of places, our police are outgunned. We need comprehensive background checks, and we need to keep guns out of the hands of those who will do harm.
We need to have more second chance programs. I'm glad that we're ending private prisons in the federal system; I want to see them ended in the state system.
Property crime is down 40 percent. We just don't want to see it creep back up. We've had 25 years of very good cooperation.
I believe in community policing. And, in fact, violent crime is one-half of what it was in 1991.
