the room's on fire and America thinks this is fine

 

   This week, I watched Fox News Sunday. The stand-in host for Chris Wallace was Shannon Bream. The guest on the show were Senator Jeff Sessions, former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Sec. of Labor Thomas Perez. The pundits were political analyst Brit Hume, journalist Susan Page, political adviser Karl Rove, Fox News political analyst Juan Williams.


    We begin with former Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey. They mostly talk about the bridging the gap between cops and civilians. Then the talk turns to gun control when she asked that if more gun control laws the answer and will they solve the issue. He answers back with "....we need a comprehensive look at the criminal justice, a look at this communities where there is a lot of gun violence. So, yes sensible gun laws can help but that by its self is not going to solve the problem." I agree with this statement because this issue isn't about gun control but more of the racial divide between black communities and police. Gun control can solve the part of gang violence in these communities but it doesn't solve the tension between both. Up next is NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton and Homeland Security Sec. Jeh Johnson. They talk about the suspect having ties to The New Black Panthers group and his motives for the shootings. Jeh J. responds that the shooter wanted to specifically kill white officers and in the coming days, they will have more to report. They go on to talk about ways to fix the gap between cops and minority groups. The next interview is Rev. Jesse Jackson. The interview is repeat of what the two pervious guest. We head into the pundits, and one of the pundits gives his view on the racial divide as a person of color. Saying, that being a person of color brings dangers for him and that he's glad that there are politicians who are trying to fix the gap instead making this a racial situation. There wasn't much talk due to timing. So, we head into interviews with vp potential pick and the responses both candidates had. Thomas P. talks about Hillary C. and her plans to make our country united. They talk about her future healthcare plans, the end of FBI investigation on her emails. It ends on the talk if he is a potential vp pick but he says he is content with his day job. Next is Jeff Sessions. They talk about Donald Trump's meeting with the GOP senators. Since, the senator was also apart of the meeting, he says that he thinks the meeting went well and that there was some mistunderstandings but its all fine. He want on talk about how Trump is going to fix America and he's going to get the job done. They end if he is a potential vp pick for Trump and he says that is up to Trump. We return to the pundits. They mostly talk about Clinton's email scandal and what is to be made of it.

   This week we talk about the divide between our minority citizens and policemen and how to fix this gap, we mourn the death of innocent civilians and how our candidates respond to this crisis. I just hope our nation heals.
