that white men are being discriminated against but she says progressives need to do a better job defining positive male roles Also Julia Cameron on her iconic book the artist went The Brian Lewis show at 10 a.m. on WNYC It's morning edition from NPR news I'm Noelle king And I'm Stevens Gabe President Biden wants to promote democracy So today he's hosting a virtual summit with representatives for more than 100 countries Two day event intended to examine a central challenge of our time Democratic practices are under pressure at a lot of countries The U.S. witnessed an effort to overturn the results of its last presidential election and open societies worldwide face a challenge from China which often uses the word democracy but means something very different by it White House correspondent Frank is here to tell us more frankly good morning Good morning Why is this summit happening now Well part of the reason is to fulfill a campaign promise Biden committed to holding a democracy summit within his first year of office so he's checking off that box The idea was to do it in person but the pandemic made that difficult of course But you know this is also a really important issue for Biden He talks all the time about how democracy is under attack and how the U.S. and others need to show that they have a better model than countries like China and Russia So there is some symbolism here It's a chance to plant the flag and declare that this is important I spoke with Charles caption who was a senior adviser on European affairs in the Obama administration You know he says the clock is ticking The sooner the better because steps need to be taken to address the increasing fragility of democracy in the world This is an effort to go out into the world and to say hey Houston we have a problem Liberal democracy is not as solid as we thought it was You know when Biden himself says that history is watching he argues that the world is at an inflection point and what he describes as a global struggle between democracy and autocracy Okay if steps need to be taken to address the increasing fragility of democracy in the world what steps are they going to take Well you know the focus is quite broad and it's not really that specific Senior officials did tell us that the summit will have three themes strengthening democracy and defending against authoritarianism Second is fighting corruption And third is promoting respect for human rights The White House says they're expecting leaders to use the summit to announce new commitments in these areas But you know these are all noble and ambitious things of course but really much of that can be written in a statement without taking more concrete action It seems to me that one value of this if there is value in it is simply the symbolism of who gets invited who gets to be part of the democratic club and who is proclaiming their democratic values by showing up So I would guess the guest list who's honored who's not is kind of important Yeah very important You know obviously countries like China and Russia were not included And the president has spent a lot of time this week on Russia and its military build up on the border with Ukraine But Taiwan was invited and that's a big deal because of the impacts it could have on relations with China which views Taiwan as part of its territory The ambassador of China to the United States wrote an op-ed actually along with the ambassador of Russia blasting the summit as being anti democratic and saying that it represents a Cold War mentality So it seems to definitely have gotten under their skin There are some people who are invited that raise eyebrows Jair Bolsonaro comes to mind the president of Brazil he's an elected president so democratic in that way but not exactly known as a protector of democratic values Yeah He's really a far right outsized personality And frankly the biggest economy in Latin America And he is known for his authoritarian leadership style So it is very curious But officials senior officials defended the guest list and they said a democracy is more than just about its leaders and that no democracy is perfect Which raises another question how is President Biden intending to address the fact that there was an effort including violence to overturn the results of the last presidential election in the United States Yeah we're coming up on the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol You know an attempt to stop Congress from certifying democratic election results You know Biden himself says that democracy here is facing its biggest test since the Civil War Officials say he will not shy away at this summit from talking about issues like the integrity of elections in the U.S. and voting right protections What do they do when they're talking is done Well you know the conversations today and tomorrow are supposed to kick off a year of talks The idea is that governments and civil society groups will continue to work on new initiatives and pledges and then get together in a year's time to unveil them at the next summit for democracy which of course they hope will actually be in person Franco has been a while since I've seen you in person I look forward to the next time that happens I do too Steve NPR White House correspondent Franco arduous In the span of less than a month in aurora Colorado 16 young people were shot These were multiple incidents and they don't appear to be related But Colorado public radio's Allison sherry reports that community leaders are highlighting a potential reason isolation The first incident was before Thanksgiving when a couple of teenagers were playing with an assault rifle and it fired and one died Then a few days later 16s were shot in a park across the street from a high school A few days after that another shooting at another high school parking lot Then 5 people were shot at a party the weekend after Thanksgiving Aurora police chief Vanessa Wilson And I think enough is enough And I think we need to come together as a community This is a public health crisis This is not all on law enforcement We need to get out through to our kids and figure out a way to stop this In the aftermath of the violence in Colorado's third largest city community leaders pointed to familiar root causes made worse by the pandemic Struggles around mental health abuse and trauma Aurora public school superintendent RICO Mann says since the return of in person classes he's noticed students lack coping mechanisms Were their ability to self regulate their feelings and behaviors has been disrupted by the pandemic perhaps it was some time spent isolated or not in those practices The community is clearly in shock Put your hand in

Denver's talk station All right. I'm gonna Talk about this some more. I'm going to go for a while. Here. This is A big, big deal. The increase in crime in America We all we? We have seen the statistics Chicago being the worst of it, but not the only place. I didn't mention Baltimore also very dangerous. Denver has its crime rate is up. Aurora Crime rates are way up. In fact, Channel seven Denver seven. Their website is the Denver Channel dot com They did a story a few days ago. And the headline on their story is Aurora tries to fight uptick in violent crime while losing officers at an alarming rate. Aurora police chief Vanessa Wilson. I think I've had her on the show. Once. I'd like to get her back and talk about this said to Channel seven. It's concerning across the board and I know it's concerning for our community. She said she's trying to combat an uptick in crime with fewer officers wanted to do the job. They've lost 100 and 50 officers since January of last year. 150. She said. We make sure that we're not short staffed. But then I'm going to have to backfill with over time She's had to reduce special assignments to staff patrol and ensure officers are able to come and help when someone calls 911. She added that she believes there is a sense among officers of not being supported. Oh, you think I think officers over there officers who I know in Aurora are Somewhat confident more than when she first took the job fairly confident that Chief Wilson Has their backs but remember police chiefs. Are not elected. Sheriffs are elected in in most places. Sheriffs are elected. In most places. Police chiefs are appointed by the city government. And so police chiefs tend to be somewhat more political. And when you're talking about big urban centers with left wing City governments. They tend to drag the police chiefs to the left because the police chiefs want to keep their jobs. And it's difficult. I imagine that Chief Wilson is in a tough spot. When she's got a city council that has two or three socialists on it, and I'm not using the term socialist as hyperbole. I mean, these are people who outwardly identify as socialists when they are taking their photographs for their official pictures that go on their website. They're wearing lapel pins for the Democratic Socialist Party. These people do not support the police. They're making their careers, blaming the police for failures of lots of other parts of society. I don't say that the police are perfect. Aurora police certainly has had its share of spectacular failures. But there's just and there's an important It's not the same issue. Crime statistics, according to Channel seven from the Aurora Police Department show Violent crime is up nearly 35% in 2021 compared to the same time last year. Number of stolen cars more than doubled. And yet the number of arrests down 29%. They had to talk with him. Aurora Mayor Pro TEM France was Bergen. And I don't know, Miss Bergen. I don't know much about her politics. She said that she hasn't seen crime rates this high in the 20 years. She's lived in Aurora, she said, And I quote enough is enough. And I've heard from the residents that they want us to do something. Now she is That she, the police chief says that some part of the drop in arrests is based on limitations caused by Covid She said Jails were not accepting individuals. And I can tell you that some of our prolific criminals knew this. She said. Thankfully, my city management is allocated some funds so that I can have foot patrols out there on overtime. And this is, of course, not just a problem in Aurora. Violent crime is up statewide solar car thefts. Denver Police show their data and murders up 42% in Denver. Aurora is trying to hire new officers. But it's not easy to do. I I think there's some misunderstanding out there about qualified immunity and all that, and I think the people like me who are against qualified immunity. I think many of the people who are out there with more influence that I have and more involved in the actual discussion. Not properly explaining qualified immunity to potential and current police officers. But I think a bigger thing is That Lot of cops or potential cops or deputies or troopers or whatever. Whatever law enforcement branch you want. Talk about. Are worried that they will never get the benefit of the doubt. This is separate from qualified immunity. This is more of a political question. If you do something that you're really trying to protect somebody you're trying to protect yourself. You're trying to protect a citizen, and you do something that is on the line in terms of use of force, right? This is the most common thing. Will you get the benefit of the doubt? Or you will will you always get thrown under the bus? I mentioned this story to you from Greeley of a guy who apparently a police officer used excessive force. Apparently, it seems like he really did. That story was interesting because it said that he was turned in by other police officers. So now are you going to be worried that other cops don't have your back? And where do you draw that line? Because I also don't like the idea of cops refusing to attorney and other cops when they know the other cup truly did something wrong.

"Have no socks on. So it's It's beautiful day here in New York. So like many and running around sockless Bill Bratton, most importantly, thank you for all of your years of service and and risk taking and trying to make our biggest cities better places. Thank you very much great talking with this morning. Likewise, Bill Bratton's new book is called the Profession, a memoir of Community race and the arc of policing in America. It's a very dense book, by the way, I don't know if you if you've been watching on on Facebook ends up on by the way, if you're not watching live, you can still always catch these videos on our Facebook page later, and I encourage you to do so and share them. But this this book is well over 400 pages. And yes, I could use it. You know, when you put it in your plate carrier, and it will it will defend you if you end up in live fire situation, But it is a really intense read of the lessons that he has learned throughout. All of his years in in policing. This guy was chief of the LAPD chief of the New York City Transit Police commissioner of the Boston Police Department and twice Commissioner of the New York City Police Department. If you have any interest in law enforcement issues at all, Bill Bratton's book is well worth reading. One quick thing, he said that he thinks the Aurora police chief is retiring. I don't think that's true. Uh, I've emailed Chief Wilson, but I think that Bratton's thinking about some months ago when The police chief in Aurora left. What was his name was the chief white. Is that his name? Don't And and Vanessa Wilson became the new chief last last August. So I think that what he was thinking of, I don't believe that. The Chief Wilson is leaving. Let me spend a couple minutes Going back to a topic that I was on before about arguably the biggest cash heist in human history, Axios reports. And Forbes reports probably from similar sources, but anyway, that that perhaps more than half and perhaps at least $400 billion with a B Of unemployment funds were stolen by criminals. Most of which or overseas, and I don't really understand how the scam works. You know, to get a debit card and then get the money overseas. Somehow, I I don't know how it all works. I really don't But $400 billion Are you kidding me? Some experts are saying they are near certain that the people stealing the money are backed by the governments. In the countries that they operate from like China and Nigeria and Russia. My guess is there may be some over government backing more likely. It is government protection in the sense of Whatever the country's attorney general and president and maybe a couple of other powerful people in the country. They probably know who are who is running who are running these criminal gangs, and they're saying to him. You know you pay us 20% of whatever you get. And we'll leave you alone and we will chilled you from the FBI as best we can as well and I'm I'm sure that's happening. Absolutely sure that's happening. Ex CEO says scammers often steal personal information and use it to impersonate claimants Other groups trick individuals into voluntarily hanging over their personal information mules. Low level criminals are given debit cars and asked to withdraw money from from ATMs that money. Okay, here's part of the answer My question that money then gets transferred abroad, often via Bitcoin. There's a lot more to this, including the fact that Goshen and I wish I could remember who we were talking about where the subject came up about How many states unemployment system computers were running on Kobol. You remember we talked about this just in the past two weeks. I don't even remember the guest was and I mentioned on the show that when they had this massive, overwhelming surge of new unemployment claims That a lot of states were in big trouble. Because COBOL isn't really used anymore, and to get people to try to modify the code and fix this stuff up. They had to go find retired computer programmers, she right. Like 50 60 70 year old computer programmers who knew COBOL Just and an incredible story. Um, I'm not done with it. Take a short break. We'll be right back. Keep it right here on 6 30 K. How I feel really overwhelmed when I walk into the human or there's just too many cigars.
