thanks to everyone who works so hard on our team to put this show on for you, to book our guests, to write our scripts. we appreciate. if you've been watching it, we thank you. we need you to watch and support our journalism. briefly, thank you on behalf of "the beat." the readout with joy read starts now. be afraid. be very afraid. that's trump's message to white suburban voters ahead of november. like richard nixon before him, he's desperately trying to cast himself, you know, the impeached guy, the unindicted co-conspirator, the guy who ignores congressional subpoenas and won't release his tax returns, he's trying to cast himself as a champion of law and order and the only thing standing between ozzie and

harriette and thunder dome. it's clear trump shares nixon's dystopian view of the country. >> we owe it to the decent and law abiding citizens of america to take the offensive against the criminal forces that threaten their peace and their security and to rebuild respect for law across this country. i pledge to you the wave of crime is not going to be the wave of the future in america. >> in fact, he's so committed to that narrative, which actually helped elect richard nixon, that he's manufacturing his own images of chaos in portland where he sent a personal police force dressed up in military fatigues to clash with local demonstrators and to add to the tension already being created by sometimes violent local police response on the ground. just last night he told sean hannity that he would like to do more. >> we're going into all of the cities, any of the cities. we're ready.

we'll put in 50,000, 60,000 people that really know what they're doing and they're strong, they're tough and we can solve these problems so fast. >> in other words, trump wants to turn his secret police into an army and he's already taking advantage of those images from portland. today the white house aired videos in the briefing room depicting the most violent clashes conveniently omitting any trace of the peaceful demonstrations that were taking place before trump's personal police force showed up and started tear gassing people. and then there were trump's tv ads which were designed literally to terrorize white suburban women into voting for him in november despite the polls showing that they do not want to. in a direct appeal to, quote, the suburban housewives of america, trump said yesterday that biden will destroy your neighborhood and your american dream. i will preserve it and make it even better. it's part of his ab sush claim that democrats want to abolish

the suburbs. in a blatant appeal to racial fears, he's saying an obama repeal of the rules will bring a wave of crime to the white neighborhoods. >> the people want to abolish our beautiful suburbs. abolish in the suburbs. you're going to abolish this. you want low income housing built in a neighborhood. i'm ending that rule. your communities will be unsafe and your housing values will go down. >> but perhaps it's trump who should be afraid. the latest washington post/abc news poll shows he is losing amongst suburban voters by 9 percentage points. that is a group that he won by 4 points in 2016. i'm joined now by nicole hannah jones with the "new york times" magazine. jalani cobb and jonathan la mere, a white house reporter

with the associated press. i'm going to you first, jonathan to get the reporting on this. donald trump used the nixon phrase silent majority and talked about what he wants to do. here he is. >> i think we're doing very well in the polls and i think you have a silent majority, the likes of which this country has never seen before. >> you know, so in 2016 there was what you called a shy tory voter. voters that wouldn't tell pollsters that they liked donald trump because they didn't want to be associated with racism because of his antiimmigration rhetoric. do they have some information that there is a shy trump voter in 2020. all of the polls show he is losing even among suburban white voters? >> that's right, joy. first of all, congrats on the new show this week. the campaign does believe that there are voters out there who have not voted in the past and their whole plan this time

around is to try to turn them around again as difficult as that may seem. you're right. the polls don't look particularly good. the president is leaning in on this law and order. this is not trying to win over votes in the urban centers but rather to paint this terrifying picture of chaos and fear and to play it often coated or subtly coated in racial language to win over and win back suburban voters and senior voters. as much as he's lost them between 2016 and now, he's dropped the seniors even more. that is where his campaign sees a desperate need to pick things back up in order to reverse his fortunes right now. polls, everything going straight has him down to joe biden and down pretty significantly. >> yeah. nicole, you know, he's appealing to senior voters to make silent generation voters, older voters who literally remember the nixon campaign. in 1968 there was a third person in there. there was george wallace. i want to play a little bit of

george wallace on law and order back then. >> i also want to talk about law and order. we hear both national parties talking about law and order, and one reason law and order is broken down in our country is that both national parties and their leaders have kowtowed to every group of an arcists that wanted to roam the streets. >> what's weird to me about this narrative, nicole, is he's playing both richard nixon and george wallace in this movie but he's hubert humphrey. he's the incumbent president. it is a weird thing he is trying to try angulate and do. what do you make of him going more and more openly overt and protect your white suburban neighborhoods because if you don't elect me, the blacks and browns are coming for you. >> this is the oldest play in the playbook of a candidate who is feeling like he's losing. i mean, you -- george wallace is a great example because george

wallace originally did not run on a racist campaign and when he lost then he famously said, i'll never be out "n" worded again. then he ran on a racist campaign which is what richard nixon did. he ran as a moderate, didn't win and when he came back he ran an explicitly race -- well, i would consider it explicitly racist campaign. this is what trump is doing. when all else fails, you go to that original sin. did you to that area of vision that you think you can win, which is race. so when he talks about the suburbs, as if black people don't live in the suburbs, when he talks about affordable housing, that's a blaring dog whistle. when he talks about this will be biden's america which is ironic because all of these are from trump's america right now. >> right. exactly. >> this is a very old page out of the playbook. >> yeah. you know, jalani, the most ironic part of it is as nicole just said, because of the way

that downtown has become so expensive to live in, the suburbs are actually becoming more black and brown. >> that's right. >> gentrification is browning out the suburbs. he's appealing to the part of the country where the black and brown are living because they can't afford to live in harlem. hud secretary talked about this. he said, quote, he believes it's his best play. his best play of identity politics. dark colored skinned people will ruin your neighborhood. that's what he's turned. there's some fox news shows who do that same thing. here's what tom ridge said because he's basically said in order to create this, during the 1960s there were actual marches and things happening in the world that nixon could exploit. now donald trump is actually creating the scenes himself by essentially invating these cities. here's tom ridge who was dhs secretary on pbs. >> there is no conceivable scenario that i think that this

massive invasion, basically, should be done or can be done effectively without local support. >> so, i mean, it is -- the weird thing about it is, jalani, that he's creating it. then he's saying, i'll respond to it. >> right. and the strange thing -- even stranger is that, you know, whatever happened to state's rights? when this conversation about the pandemic came up -- >> right. >> -- he said he was not going to impose federal will on the rights of the states. well, none of these states are requesting the presence of, you know, his essentially secret police force, you know, in these cities and, you know, nonetheless we have them. one other point that is important that you just touched on about 1968, richard nixon was specifically running against the kind of liberalism that people thought was responsible for that up surge of up risings people saw in 1967 and 1968.

we don't have that. we have the opposite situation right now. >> right. >> if you look at polling, we're reacting to not law and order, we're reacting to police violence. we saw george floyd die in that excruciating video, and over 70% of white people polled afterwards said they thought racism was a huge problem. so it seems as if he's doing the exact opposite of what richard nixon was doing in 1968. >> nicole, i want to jump back to you for a moment. the other thing that's different also is now it's white parents that are seeing their kids get tear gassed. they're not just tear gassing black lives matter supporters that are black. they're in portland tear gassing white people's children as well. i don't understand the logic here. they're not attacking just black and brown people. >> yeah. i mean, it's kind of an amazing irony that this is happening in the whitest major city in the country. as someone who was lucky enough to escape portland, which has about a 6% black population, it

is hard to understand the strategy outside of the fact that they've been protesting for 50 straight days and this is where trump decided to make his stand, but as we know, trying to apply logic to this administration is often a futile tas zblk yeah. jonathan, is there a -- i almost hate to even ask. is there a single republican who has the cajones to say anything about what is being done in these cities. they're a state's right party. i thought they were libertarians. where's rand paul? are any of them concerned about these invasions about these cities or do they not care because they're democratic-run cities? >> senator paul is one who voiced some concern, but there have not been too many republicans who have done that. i believe senator romney as well. he is the one republican who has been consistently willing to be outspoken in his criticism of

president trump. most are, indeed, staying psy eleven lent as they have tended to whenever the president does something like this. you're right. this is a political play from the white house. so far, let's be clear, it doesn't seem to be working. the polling is working against him. they believe these are cities run by democratic mayors. they know that joe biden is not part of the leftist part of the democratic party. they had hoped to run against the bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. they didn't get that. they got joe biden. what they're doing is painting that biden is under the control of the leftist elements of the parties. they're trying to connect him to these protestors, to the defund the police movement, et cetera. of course, biden has said he does not support that. biden is -- although he's moved to the left on several issues is certainly more of a moderate democrat than bernie sanders or elizabeth warren. >> right. >> you're seeing some of that frustration from the administration be unable to use the playbook they had hoped this time around and they're flailing

a little bit and trying for the law and order theme which at least for now hasn't worked. >> yeah jalani, there's something about running against the democratic mayors. please do. >> they're not running against joe biden, they're running against joe biden's electorate. joe biden's electorate won't be on the ballot. it's a very strange strategy. you're trying to convince them that this guy, aimmiable old une joe is keeping a copy of the communist manifesto in his breast pocket of his jacket. nobody's going to believe that. >> as if joe biden has not existed for 40 something years in the american public consciousness. he's not like some new thing you can brand, he's joe biden. everybody knows what that means. go ahead. what a strange, strange world. thank you all for being here. appreciate you next on "the reidout." why trump's not could go anytivelily there on

coronavirus. >> to not have a big convention is not the right time. i would like to see schools open 100%. we'll do it safely. we'll do it carefully. >> not safe enough to pack in an arena with republicans but totally safe enough to pack a a school of children. and a little obama/biden nostalgia. plus, our moment of joy and the primetime debut, yes, of who won the week?

america's schools reopen and threatening to defund them even though his youngest son's school doesn't appear prepared to do so. yesterday he canceled the jacksonville big finale of the convention. it's in one of the big covid heavy states. they referred to as the three new yorks. as the washington post notes schools in that same county where the convention was to be held are still set to open next month under governor's orders. meanwhile, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has pushed off the release of a new aid package until earlier next week since his senators can't seem to get on the same page and apparently they're not in a hurry. the message to the millions of americans experiencing a potential laps in benefits is, sorry, wait. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. i want to start by reading you a

couple of headlines. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. really appreciate your time. so unemployment aid is going to expire tomorrow. the extra bump, the extra $600 is set to expire. jobless claims have risen and that cutoff is going to come at the same time jobless claims are going up. what do you make of the fact that the united states senate has decided to just chill until monday to do something about that? >> it's neglectful and a tragedy for them not to recognize how urgent this support is needed for the american people. we sent the heroes act a while back now, and it provides essential needs to all of our communities. and as you've just eluded, you know, so many people have not been able to pay their rent since april 1st. so many people are losing their jobs as we speak and we know

many of our families are economically struggling. they don't have the ability to feed themselves. to have the senate not move as urgent as we have moved and for this administration not to recognize how important it is for them to come to the table and negotiate in good faith is really a tragedy not just for us in the house but for the american people. >> yeah. i want to play for you, some people have seen this who have been watching msnbc earlier today, this was such a zeroing cl searing clip. this is mercedes borges. she is facing eviction with her two children. i'm going to play that for you. >> i felt like i wasn't a good mom. every parent wants to give their kid a home, somewhere safe to be.

it felt like i just couldn't do that at the time. >> you know, first of all, kudos to morgan radford for the great reporting on that. people should look it up online to see that, see the whole report. it strikes me that yourself, other members of the group we call quad, a lot of the freshmen who came in in 2018, freshmen of congress lived normal lives before you guys got into congress. so maybe you can relate to what it feels like to, you know, maybe worry about paying rent, work a normal job where you're one or two paychecks away from, you know, losing your housing. the out of touch nature of what i'm seeing coming out of the united states senate, i guess that's what strikes me. can you maybe try to explain to people why is it that the house and senate -- the house not so much but some people in the united states senate just don't seem affected by that kind of pain. >> it looks like they are

oblivious really to the lived experiences of many of the people that they represent. here in minnesota, that represents 50% of them are renters, these are people who live paycheck to paycheck. i myself am a renter. i lived paycheck to paycheck. and the struggle of figuring out how to pay your rent next month is something that was very real for people even before corona hit and even before we see the kind of economic challenges we have right now. we've been talking about how so many americans didn't have, you know, $100, $200, $300, $400 in their savings account to cover any necessities if the paycheck wasn't coming in. i represent a district really the twin cities is one of the

areas outside of coastal cities that has the highest rent for renters, and we are looking at people who are already housing insecure, they're now going to be displaced. my office started a task force to deal with the evictions that we know are coming and to bring people together because these eviction moratoriums that exist here in minnesota are not going to last forever. we are looking at really a huge displacement and collapse of our housing system. and so the urgency in which myself and many of my colleagues are fighting for families who have faced economic and social neglect for so long is real because we have been part of these communities. we know the pain that they feel. and i feel for that mother. i have three young children. i know what it means to stay up at night trying to pinch pennies

to figuring out how i was going to pay rent, how i was going to help feed my kids, what kind of support i can come up with to pay for child care. and these challenges exist for many american families across our country, and the fact that you have the majority of congress, whether it's the house or the senate, be millionaires makes it that these are folks who are not really fluent in the day-to-day struggles of the people that they represent, and we have to change that. >> and not only that, but a lot of people were disgusted this week at the way congressman ted yoho treated your friend and colleague alexandria ocasio-cortez. do you have anything you want to say? i don't think he apologized to her. she said she didn't need it even waiting tables dealing with rude people who say repug nent things

to women. do you have anything you want to say to congressman yoho? >> the most offensive part of his non-apology was the fact that he used his wife and daughters as an excuse on why he was someone who wouldn't use the language he used, and we know that as the daughters of dignified and decent men, that you don't have to have a mother or sister or a wife in order for you to respect women as an equal human being. to me, you know, this is a behavior that we would condemn for any man but, you know, we have to condemn it aggressively because this is a member of congress. this is someone who should know better and it's just such a tragedy that we get to have this

conversation in congress because we know so many women in our country and across the world deal with this and this is part of their lived experience. it doesn't have to be that way. it is important for us to remind people that we deserve respect and fundamental equality and the fear of losing pow jer should n make it so that you are disrespectful to your colleagues. >> very well said. congresswoman, thank you so much. have a great weekend. please come back. we hope that you'll come back often. and coming up next -- >> they invited us in, we'd go in with 50,000, 75,000 people. we would be able to solve it like you wouldn't believe and quick. >> 75,000 people? is it just me or does that sound more like an invasion? i'll discuss that and more with

valerie jarrett next on "the reidout." alright, everyone, we made it.

my job is to help new homeowners who have turned into their parents. i'm having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. so we're using a speakerphone in the store. is that a good idea? one of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. you're looking for a grout brush, this is -- garth, did he ask for your help? -no, no. -no. we all see it. we all see it. he has blue hair. -okay. -blue. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. -keep it coming. -you don't know him. when you bundle with us. new tide power pods one up the can it one up spaghetti night? it sure can. really? can it one up breakfast in bed? yeah, for sure. thanks, boys. what about that? uhh, yep! it can? yeah, even that! i would very much like to see that. me too. introducing new tide power pods. one up the toughest stains with 50% more cleaning power

than liquid detergent. any further questions? uh uh! nope! one up the power of liquid with new tide power pods.

you know what it's like to have to deal with foreign leaders.gn you know what it's like and how lonely it can be to make tough decisions where not every decisionno is going to be perfe but you've got to make them, and to take responsibility for it. >> my first part of my question is do you think that part of the reason he's talking about sending 75,000 people into chicago is part of this obsession with former president obama or do you think it's something else? >> it's probably that, but i think it's also trying to appeal to a shrinking base. it's a desperate attempt to try to convince people that, you

know, he's powerful, he's in charge, he's going to combat -- i'm not sure what he's trying to combat here in chicago. there is a piece of it because it's, of course, president obama's , home. i watched him go after the mayor of d.c., muriel bowser. i watched him go after the mayor ofer atlanta, kesha lands botto. there is a pattern that is very disturbing to say the least. there is a part of why vice president biden and president an obama, we are hung gerg as a country to come g together, to heal, to move together in a direction that's positive. >> right. you worked, of course, on that epic 2008 campaign. i dropped the mike. i did a short little bit on it. i'll never work another campaign again. one of the greatest campaigns in modern history, the obama campaign. talk a little bit of stra teej ri. all of the people he's gone

after is black. joe biden is not. joe biden is an older white man. he's not of the type that donald trump canty usually marginalize. he's not a woman. he doesn't have any of the things that donald trump usually clings into. do you think that's one of the reasons that he is struggling against him? >> oh,ug yeah. he's flailing. he cannot caricature joe biden. everything he has tried to do has failed. i think it's clear that by every poll i've seen joe biden is way ahead in the polls. people know him. they appreciate the effective role he had as vice president, overseeing the recovery act, bringing homeac our troops from iraq, the important work he did around sexual assault on college campuses and much, much more. he was a true partner to president obama. as you paknow, i was there ever day for eight years i had the opportunity to observe their relationship and the strength of it s and how important vice president biden was to president obama but he's not somebody that trump can caricature or come

after as an other the way he has towards soe many other people. so, yeah, he's flailing. i will say this. i knowll one thing about joe biden. he will not take anything for granted. he is going to work as hard as he can between now and election day to earn every single vote andng i do believe that trump i stumped. he doesn't know quite how to go after him. he goes to the old playbook that's really designed to tear us apart, and i just don't think that playbook works anymore. >> all right. weor shall see. valerie jarrett. up next. thank you very much, valerie. >> you're welcome. good luck, joy. >> thank you so gomuch. up next, donald trump suddenly pulled the plug on his jacksonville convention. he gave coronavirus as the reason.co uh-huh. but was it really something else? "the reidout" continues after this. r this

circumstances changed in

florida where we intended to have the convention, as the circumstances on the ground changed the president changed his viewpoint on having the convention in jacksonville at that particular location. >> huh. welcome back. the trump campaign sure did act quickly because according to information provided to "the reidout." they were still trying to sell million dollar packages to the convention as of 10:30 a.m. yesterday. so what happened in those few hours leading up to donald trump's big reversal? could it be that the campaign was worried it would be a repeat of trump's humiliating rally in tulsa full of empty seats? one thing we do know, according to republican sources, is that the convention was struggling to raise money from donors. joining me now is fernando rumandi and david. can i show you this nikki hailey tweet. she gets out there. she gets right out in front because she probably wants to run for president. we know how much donald trump

wanted to have a blowout convention. he has a great story to tell but how he turned our economy -- the information we got is literally hours before he announced that he was going to cancel the convention they were still trying to sell million dollar rides to the convention, million dollar packages. there's been no response from the trump campaign so far. we asked him for a response. what do you think, david? you're a former republican? what's the answer here? >> yeah. nikki hailey's tweet, my wife summed it up perfectly saying, ew. it's that type of disgusting allegiance to donald trump from the former ambassador to the united nations, former governor of south carolina. it is a perfect example of trumpism. republican careers are being ruined in the moment. but let's be honest, joy. a couple of things are coming together right now for donald trump. he's now down double digits in florida just as he is in

pennsylvania and michigan. in terms of selfless, this was the opposite of it. he threw this on governor ron desantis's lap about four weeks ago because he was in a spat with the governor of north carolina and then when it didn't look good for him, he pulled out. and what we are seeing from donald trump is he knows -- he sees the same numbers, that his public health behavior has contributed to him plummeting in the polls and he is changing his public health behavior because of the political consequences of the past few months of his decisions. >> yeah. you know, we luckily have a pollster here right now, fernand amandi. quinnipiac has biden up. florida is like a two-point state. it's 51-38 in quinnipiac. there's also numbers that show that donald trump, who carried white voters by 13% in 2016, biden is now seeming to carry at least parts of the white vote. do you believe that those numbers are real?

>> well, first and foremost, congratulations, joy. great to be on "the reidout" in the first week. >> thank you. >> as to the numbers, congressman will be willing to tell you, we know race is tight here in florida. we saw andrew gillum with a double digit lead and we know how that turned out. while i think it's indisputable that biden is ahead, we have to take into account florida will tighten up. but you can't under estimate the impact that covid is having here in florida. just like the trump presidency, the pandemic here in florida has proven to be a lot worse than we ever believed it could be possible. this week alone, joy, we became florida by itself, we have more combined new cases than all but four countries on earth and last month alone we have here more new cases than in all of the european union combined. so this is a catastrophe here.

we have record daily new deaths. as those deaths start to track with all of those new cases, which are averaging about 10,000 a day, we're looking at a public health catastrophe and i think one of the other elements that you saw for this decision by the trump campaign to pull down this convention in jacksonville, the weekend of the convention, the very next day is when school, public school was scheduled to start in florida. and we know that there are tens of thousands of teachers and millions of parents who are up in arms about that decision by florida to want to move forward by putting their children in school. as a parent i can tell you right now under no circumstances am i putting my children in school. i know congressman jolly is a new father as well. he'll probably have something to say about that. we're facing a crisis here in florida, it's emblematic for what we're seeing around the world. >> yeah.

what doesn't make sense to me, david, is that normally politicians do have some self-interest at play. my favorite quote from lindsey graham. favorite thing he ever said. if we nominate trump, we'll get destroyed and we will deserve it. it's so prophetic. it's like he was a prophet. i don't understand ron desantis. he has a state with the most seniors of any state in the country. he has so many children, farm workers, all of these vulnerable communities. he seems to be governing in a way to make them sick. i don't understand what he is getting out of that other than donald trump patting him on the head. do you understand it? >> no, look, i think you're right. we have to judge loyalty to trump. we judge people's moral character in public office. to your point, joy, i think we're seeing political careers get destroyed in this moment. donald trump might be the first incumbent president to lose election in 30 years. ron desantis who once had eyes on a white house is desperately

clinging to a re-election race. florida has five statewide races in 2022. there are republicans who have been looking to people like ron desantis to the future who are saying this guy can't handle the kitchen. i think we're seeing political careers being ruined in this moment. >> he can join marco rubio in the never going to be president club. very quickly before i let you go, fernand, there's a gen z poll out from brilliant corners that says a plurality of voters want to see -- minority women want to see a black woman on the ticket with joe biden. who do you think he's going to pick very quickly? who would you say if you had to guess? >> the conventional wisdom says kamala harris for sure. again, us florida bhooys, we li congresswoman valdemi. it would electrify florida voters but i think around the country as well.

i look at those two and maybe tammy duckworth as a wild card. you put a gun to my head, i say kamala harris. >> they're going to stick around. they'll be back with who won the week. first, a moment of joy. ! guys! safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today.
