Unfit to Host?

" The city Chicago still reeling from the murder of a sixteen year old honor student during an after school fight between two rival gangs. -- an Albert died of massive head injuries after he was struck with a large boarded repeatedly kicked in the head. His mother told the fox affiliate in Chicago that her son got caught in the middle of the brawl because he's trying to help a friend. How tragically the massive fight and vicious murder of -- an album was all caught on tape. Now we want to warn you. The what you're about to see is extremely graphic and can be very difficult to watch."

" Okay."

" How does absolutely chilling although the stories term political this Thursday President Obama will travel to Denmark. To support Chicago's bid to host the 36 summer -- Olympics but in light of this tragedy and all the pressing issues facing the country. Is the president making the right move and joining me now is the host of given take which airs on WNBC's New York nonstop. Julian man and is Julie men -- and Fox News contributor former white house Press Secretary Dana Perino that video is some of the most difficult. Video to watch."

" Watch and I think about the mom who not only did she lose her son that. Now it's -- there on video for everybody watch and it becomes like part of a political issue and I I I spend my sympathies. Go to her and everybody else -- apparently."

" All indications are great kid honor student I mean world what -- in -- what what does happen. That we see these instances come up periodically we -- brawls at football games -- go back to Rodney King in and some of the riots that have taken place."

" What is happened of these kids. That they can take a award and beat this kid to death kick him in the head an eclectic what happened."

" That's exactly right I mean this is a terrible scourge on society gang violence but I want to get back to a benefit not a political issue I don't think there's anything political about this is a terrible tragedy. It has nothing to do with how it."

" It's become a political news in this sense the presence -- those trying convinced that the Olympic committee to bring the Olympics to Chicago to the sad thing is is that."

" This type of things have a school violence unfortunately happens. And all over America and not always resulting in murder but as I read today that this is not the first child that's been murdered this school year in Chicago."

" The Chicago and I want to lots of Baghdad the fifth inning for Chicago for its not a crime rate is down at the lowest -- been in forty years it's been going down and each of the last four years or 443 murders. This year one out of three million people that rate is half of what it was in the 1990s yeah."

" is an average of another issue and it's about priorities for the for the president. And we got a general and Afghanistan saying we need troops he can make a decision about sending more troops or elsewhere risking failure. The unemployment and nine point 7%. We -- presidency so busy going on David Letterman all Sunday shows giving speeches."

" And you know are there not more pressing issues and getting the troops need reinforcements they need the equipment they need get in the economy back on track."

" at this situation in Afghanistan is not can be solved in one -- this is a fifteen hour trip he is leaving Thursday night he's coming back Friday I I got up -- a -- but the jet."

" Lance for the troops back in August. My date of -- eight does that matter of perception right you know be a perception problem. In fact he probably felt like he had to do this the what is interesting is that in the United States we always let the private sector. Push for our Olympic bids and also for our athletes and -- the other countries haven't done that and it looks like America is good."

" in the US Mayor Bloomberg took a very active role in trying to get another everything you got a -- presidency of Vladimir Putin of Russia that's the -- Tony the."

" I was very -- the -- a Chicago video of this and dividends with mayor daily but did not go and make the type -- look at that it's a fifteen hour trip -- at the Olympics -- Well."

" I -- if it's very interesting to me how to this president operates. I mean he could take six or seven months to decide on one dog that is hitting at first family will seriously. But -- healthcare pushed in you -- two weeks time which was initially their their time frame which was obscene. You know general McChrystal says we need troops girls we risk failure -- back in late August and they still not getting the reinforcements and we found out of sixty minutes this weekend. He's only spoken to the general once or twice but the question is is the president has prioritize."

" I think that unfortunately this debate about Afghanistan is being played out now in the public. And because of that now we are all very well aware that he's only talk to the general once that the troops that the request is out there and with what happens when you are. A minute man -- woman in uniform for the United States your commander in chief is trying to figure out what the policies going to be when the policy that he put in place was to get out of here."

" We're out of that -- crystal will very clear we risk failure. But I wouldn't call my attention -- president and I would call my immediate attention I -- talked to general."

" Well first of all I happen to agree with -- that you look for different reasons I think we should be out of Afghanistan and I'm upset the president hasn't made decisions I actually think."

" Kevin and me and not making a decision he should make a decision so we happen to agree on happen for condi rice says that if we if we pull out of Afghanistan we risk another 9/11 --"

" Listen -- out and also just a woman's point of view and while the women's groups to bring their boys why can't they come out and say we -- not going to let this happen again to the women of Afghanistan to the girl -- go to school and it hasn't done enough they. Continental and troops and -- first. Yeah. I don't necessarily -- and we need to get into again and another effort in terms of nation building and I just -- to win and the president handpicked general. -- the general not a saint I need troops in order to accomplish my mission and you can't top Sunni but once in three months."

" But that isn't talked him once and in three months is very indicative of the fact that he's probably not gonna send my kids."

" It can happen I didn't hate it but doctors and and let's not drag it out. If that's the case that it is unconscionable. If that is the decision to let men and women in uniform statement to stay there and risk their lives for a -- that they are now repudiate the."

" This is the point that he can make a decision to go to the you know advocate of -- heavenly Olympics. They can't make a decision about whether or not it's gonna support."

" Generally true -- on Afghanistan but I think that for opposite reasons I think when you get to the trip to Copenhagen I don't know where is your Olympic spirit I think it's great for the country and orchestra I don't -- Osama --"

" Concerned about people without that are working are also concerned about troops as data points out."

" That they've hit their general has asked for reinforcements and he's not even talking to them until they could tell you how worried -- what do you that he had camera check that is gonna bring patriotic spirit and a third are different than any won't let me do what do you needs. How's that is that too much to ask that have nothing to do with the Copenhagen -- you know what in my mind it does because of you have to notify the Copenhagen."

" You've got time to talk to you a general who says you're about to lose a war I think that you have the time."

" She might be right there might be half the country might think that is that there's no problem with that but the perception if you don't have a job or -- in the military. -- or if you want this healthcare bill fascinating the president felt like I think that they could use that time. It is only fifteen hours but there's a fundamental difference of sending a president of the you know I sort of think that they think they're gonna get because if he does -- doesn't get an idea."

" Yeah right Heidi good -- they added. And that's the point president I don't know if -- to be real with your favorite cities in the right direction opposite problem is he's got -- yeah. I'm gone back to the united that I was so he got. So he wants a total while it's not a -- a lot of a photo Y that the country is so divided whether it's health -- him in something like the Olympics and did not want them tell fired up. Thanks for coming it was just another way it is text vote Tuesday."
