vote for democrats but many are struggling to keep their employees employed. just a short while ago we heard from rochester mayor and the police chief and the pair discussed the recent protests that have broiled the city. they committed to series of police reforms in the wake of daniel's death. kathy, what are the reforms look like. do you think it will be enough to satisfy people there? >> reporter: this press conference is just wrapping up here. i caught all of us by surprise. it's a holiday weekend. we were anticipating these city leaders to come together to address these issues. however, it did come forward. we heard from the police chief, the mayor as well as local pastor.

after four nights of unrest, they are trying something different. they have asked elders to serve as buffers between police and protesters. there have been several injuries as well as arrests. these officials here, city leaders are saying that they understand why people are outraged and they respect the peaceful protests but they do believe that the violence is not the answer. we heard a bit more from the mayor. here is what he had to say. >> i know the vast majority of the people who have taken to our streets do so with pure hearts, good intentions to ensure that tragedies like the death of mr. prude never happen again. their message we must do better and we have to address how we police our city has been heard. we are doubling the availability of mental health professionals at the suggestion of council

vice president lightfoot. we will take our family intervention team out of the police department and move it in its funding to the department of youth and recreation services where our pathways to peace program already resides. >> reporter: there were questions about potential agitators in the group, stirring up trouble and causing violence over the last several nights. the police chief did confirm they are here. there were arrest severals. some from out of town as far away as alaska as well as massachusetts. over the last several day, demonstrators have called for the resignation of the police chief and the mayor. they were out here together they

are committed to change. thank you. now to portland where a protest protester caught on fire. in this dramatic video you can see the man run into the street with his clothing on fire after a cocktail wads thrown at police. we were watching that video. what more can you tell us about these clashes? >> reporter: last night we saw an escalation in the violence here in portland. police arrested 59 individuals. the vast majority of those individuals arrested were from oregon. the majority were in their 20s and 30s. we understand that at least three juveniles were also arrested in those clashes last night. we were there to the east of the city. at the beginning of that gathering we saw hundreds of people gathering in the park for

an event billed as a blm event with the promise of speeches and music. there were some people there to peacefully listen but it was also clear they were also preparing to confront police. we saw people with shields as well as body armor. putting it on in the following hours they then marched towards the east precinct. the police releasing statement saying it was clear to them that the crowd that was marching was not a peaceful test but intended to clash with the police and that is exactly what happened once they stopped the marchers. that's when the malatov cocktail was unleashed and two protesters caught fire. one of the protesters was taken to the hospital for treatment. a number of items seized including exemployees efs as well as a dagger, shields and body armor. just hours before in washington state, there was a gathering for

the memorial of aaron j. danielson. he was a trump supporter and member of a far right group known as patriot prayer. they gathered to remember him. he have shot and killed last saturday. authorities during the week moved in to arrest the man they allege was his murderer. they killed that man. shot and killed him also in washington state. that is now the subject of an ongoing investigation. in terps ms of the memorial service, it was a peaceful event. many with pro-trump banners as well as pro-police banners. it was armed men patrolling the perimeter. they said daniel was a peaceful person. the story that appeared in

the latlantic still causing aftershocks. kelly, what's the latest fall out from the president's alleged remarks? >> reporter: just to give you a sense of what's happening here, just a moment ago the president's motorcade came through the northwest gate rumpbing from his golf outing today. we weren't close enough to shout questions but the president spent a few hours out in the sunshine today after his administration, a cup l of his top cabinet secretaries were on television defending him over these allegations first reported by the atlantic. he used insulting language toward american fallen heroes. in 2018, in a trip to paris where there were multiple events over a couple of days to commemorate world war i, the 100th anniversary. the president denied he said disparaging things and has upheld his own record to talk about things he's done for military and those like pay raises and more resources for the military and support for

veterans through some of his programs and efforts to get legislation to support health care for veterans and so on. we also know house speaker nancy pelosi was asked about this today and she used an example not from anonymous sources or reporting but her own experience being at an event with the president at a hallowed ground cemetery and she was critical of him for doing an interview where he got very political with the cemetery in the backdrop. something she said was inappropriate and she's using that as an example of where she believes the president has not always been respectful, sense ti tive or dignified. >> i took a large delegation last year for the 75th anniversary of the invasion of normandy. we went there to praise our

veterans, to honor them. the numbers get smaller and smaller each time we go. >> reporter: that didn't get to the part she was critical of the president. he did interviews and was political in his kmebt. she was critical of that. this is a sense of how this will play into the election. be president and administration defending him on his record with the military and saying this is a hoax. >> it's causing a lot of stir in washington. what can you tell us about? >> reporter: in some ways there's a connection.

the story we were just talking about is about allegations of things the president said in private conversations. michael cohen's has a whole book of that. he had been the attorney and close associate in the trump organization to donald trump, the businessman, donald trump the candidate. he lays out a lot of unflattering portraits of donald trump as a businessman when it comes to race and unfairness. the white house responded saying he's a disbarred lawyer who has been convicted of lying to congress and should not be trusted for those reasons. others will say, he got in that hot water and behaved the way he did trying to protect donald trump. there was a long falling out between the two men. president trump has distanced himself from cohen and cohen has clearly now clearing the air as he continues to serve his sentence at home confinement. >> all right. kelly o'donnell at the white house. thank you.

as this labor day weekend can'ts there's heightened concerns of a surge in coronavirus cases. in new jersey, still one of the top ten states for cases of the virus, crowds are gathering this holiday weekend at the jersey shore. the beach, the boardwalks there. it's an area badly impacted by the economic crisis created by the pandemic. amanda golden is in seaside heights, new jersey. i was along the jersey shore reporting for memorial day. even though the threat of coronavirus was top of mind, those beaches were packed. are you getting the sense that since then the cautiousness has waned even more? >> reporter: i think that's fair assessment. there's a lot of people not wearing masks. this is coming at a time when

the business and community as you'll know from your time here are looking to maximize as much as possible. making up for those profit losses their experienced earlier in the summer. really do everything it has to offer t the beaches. speaking to so many of the businesses here, they stress to me how critical it is to make up for this summer season in the final weeks of september. keeping the beaches open here in this town through september potentially beyond if the weather cooperates and things go well. that's what they looking to capitalize on. take a listen to what business owner told me about this experience. >> we need this weekend. we need every other weekend in september. there's no way we can do what we need to do by being closed as long as we were and then open up as late as we did.

i think most of us are grateful that we're open. >> reporter: things will wrap up here with a last hoorah. the community wants to see this extend beyond the holiday. it's that compoundsing issue of what's best for the economic boost of this town and wanting people to come out and participate in the businesses but also the greater risk of those gathering as ta are here this weekend. >> talking about this, the business owners are begging for business. they want the beaches to be packed. how do officials prevent these big clusters that we have seen in previous holiday weekends. >> it's sort of a trial by fire here. talking to the mayor he mentioned to me they are down about 40% in this town from the revenue of where they were last year.

he's hoping they go out beyond columbus day in october if things can continue and continue to have folks come out and participate. >> behind you we're seeing some people wearing mos ma ining mas. a lot of people not. we're also seeing signs for delicious food. thank you. still ahead, voters in tarhill state become the first in the nation to receive mail in ballots. how the process is being handled amid suggestions from the president ha his supporters should vote twice, which is illegal. after break, north carolina's attorney general joins us live with what officials are doing to make sure every one's votes are counted. e every one's votes are counted.

dozens others escaping with minor scrapes. jeremy was at the lake with his family when the fire closed in. >> you could see smoke. they said it was 22 miles away. >> it was very fast. >> it was literally, like oh, my god there's fire right there. >> reporter: survivors recounting their harrowing tails as the creek fire continues to burn. >> we are now in the home stretch of the 2020 presidential race. with only 58 days left until the election, the biden campaign is said to ramp up travel and in-person appearances. both former vice president and current vp pick kamala harris are traveling tomorrow taking their campaign to battleground states in their bid to unseat the president. biden is led to harrisburg pennsylvania while harris travels to milwaukee, wisconsin for her first traditional campaign event. the california senator has been targeted in a new strategy by president trump to present her as an extreme california liberal

in an effort to deter voters according to new reporting from politico. the president's attacks on mail in voting are accelerating as the november election nears and taking an illegal turn. on multiple occasions president trump has encouraged americans to vote twice as a way to stress test the mail in voting system. a system that has repeatedly and baselessly claimed is ripe with fraud. joining me is attorney general of north carolina. i want to start with those repeated suggestions that americans should try and vote twice. he most recently encouraged this at ta rally on florida. >> sign in mail your ballot as early as possible. sign it and mail it in. mail it in. on election day, or early voting, go to your polling place. even though you mailed it in, go to your polling place to see whether or not your mail in vote

has been tabulated or counted. >> you wrote on twitter to somebody, it's absolutely ridiculous that i must tell voters to vote only once. kind of a sign of the times we're living in now. what's your reaction? >> it's reckless. it's sad. i think there will be some north carolinans who follow his awful and illegal advice and try to vote twice. we want north carolinans to know, you can vote. you can vote safely, securely and easily but please just vote once. >> what will happen if people try and do that? >> if you vote intentionally twice, that's a felony in north carolina. his stated reason is well, you send in your absentee ballot and you don't know if it got received. you can track it online and starting friday the state board of elections is rolling out a texting and e-mail alert system so it will affirmatively tell

you that your ballot has been received. the idea you would mail in your ballot and then go cast one in person and have your mail in ba ballot come in afterwards. that is voting twice and that's illegal. >> the president is saying this about absentee ballots although he votes by absentee ballot. bill barr also endorsing these claims. let's listen to what he said on wednesday. >> i don't know what the law in the particular state. >> you can't vote twice. >> i don't know what the law in the particular state says. when that vote becomes final. >> are you surprised there that he wasn't able to black and white say this is illegal? >> yes. it's ridiculous. not only is it legal in every single state in this country, it's a federal violation as well. he should know that. look, we want people to vote. in north carolina, we're the first state in the country that sent out mail in ballots starting on the fourth.

we sent out the first wave got delivered today. people are really excited. it's all over social media they have their ballots. if you mail it back in, the odds it will be lost are nil. the worry about the postal service is it will be slow in delivery. we urge people to turn your ballot back around and get it in the mail as soon as possible and track it online. that's an efficient way and legal way to know your ballot was received. do not do what the president said. it's against the law. >> thank you so much for your time today and clearing the record on that. still ahead, 15 states, 7,000 miles and an unmatched look at how america dealing with the pandemic. cal perry joins me next on a special report airing tonight. ta

federal judge in california has ordered the u.s. census bureau to keep counting americans for now. the judge ordered a temporary restraining order that says the cens census bureau should stop following plan to wind down operations by the end of this month a coalition of several rights groups sued the commerce department to stop last minute schedule challenge to cut the extra month of counting which made up for the delays caused by coronavirus. pew research shows that 52% of young adults from ages 18 to 29 live at home in 2020. that's more than what was recorded at the end of the great depression. younger americans have been the hardest hit by the financial disaster of the pandemic and more likely to have lost their jobs post-shutdown. this is the largest percentage

of young people living at home since the end of the depression in 1940 when 48% of young adults lived with mom and dad. nbc news correspondent took a 7,000 mile trip across 15 states. he reported on the chaotic times in our country. coronavirus, economic calamity and protests over racial injustice. >> reporter: by the summer of 2020, america was struggle to breathe. uncertainty, fear and confusion seemed to be everywhere. the question is how did we get from this. >> what we don't want to do is revert back to phase one. >> reporter: to this. >> our covid units are full. >> reporter: and from this. >> they need to unite to one another. >> reporter: to this. in search of answers we traveled over 7,000 miles across 15 states on a road trip through

the most turbulent summer in a generation to find out if and how we can reunite these divided states of america. >> sometimes we all need to calm down and relax a little. >> that's just ate wi little pr of what you'll see. special tonight at 6:30 eastern right here on msnbc. nbc cal perry joins me now. you and you crew set out to speak with people on how the pandemic is affecting their lives. what was your big take away? >> i think everybody would agree we're an incredibly divided nation. i remember speaking to you in late july when we had that all black malitia face off against a white malitia. we saw that yesterday in the city. i was surprised at howdy vi div we are on science and the pandemic and masks.

we see democracy slipping away. it's something we talk about but it's something we're seeing in practice. those unmarked security forces are acting like secret police whether it's portland or seattle. that was surprising. the other thing that really surprised me is some of the way that protesters are being charged in courts after protesting. nick tillson protested in the black hills outside of mount ru rushmore. he's been charged with three separate felonies and 17 years in prison. when the president says he will crackdown on protesters around the country, he wasn't kidding. >> incredible you're reminding us of these unmarked federal police agents. that wasn't too long ago. it's a sign of how this summer has been and it feels like not even 2020 but you've reported all over the world. how do the challenges right now that americans are facing compare to not only what you've seen in other countries but maybe other times in your reporting.

>> reporter: i think they are very similar. we plooef that one vote maerts and our votes matter. when you hear the president talk abo about north carolina, trying to get people to check on their mail in vote, that could make things ugly on election day. if the day after election day people have lost their faith in the process then we are like so many other countries around the world that have votes that don't matter. that have vote where is the votes aren't counted. that have votes that people don't believe in the result. once you get past that point, i think it's incredibly dangerous. i worry because i can see it happening in america. what has happened in these other countries and so many countries around the world are dealing with this problem. they are dealing with division and issues inside the government but dealing with lack of faith in the actual process. >> we say that will never happen here in the united states. cal, sometimes this news feels

so heavy. a lot of people decide they will turn it off. in these times right now, did you see any glimmer of hope in your travels? >> reporter: yeah. i met an elderly african-american lady sitting in louisville who marched with mlk who sees we need to be doing better and seeing things we can the doing better but sees some progression in that conversation. another generation on streets trying to have the conversation about race and inequality. much younger than i am. i'm not going to date myself but they are having their say. it's place people should come and travel and to a great many other people it's an unjust society. i think we need to remember that. >> are you ever going to step

foot in an rv again? >> reporter: probably not. it have pretty tight. it was great for the pandemic and for what we needed. >> i'm sure you are happy to be back at home with your family sleeping in a bed that's not on wheels. thank you. you can watch "road to recovery, america at a cross roads." that's tonight. still ahead, portland marked 100 days of protests this weekend. after the break, we'll talk to a 16-year-old girl who has spent her summer on the front lines with demonstrators. what she has experienced on the ground. what she has experienced on the ground of our elusive subject,

kenosha, wisconsin has seen sustained protests following shooting of jacob blake. he's now paralyzed from the waist down. last night blake's lawyer released a message from blake in his hospital bed making an emotional plea to his supporters. >> it's a lot more life to live out here. your life and not only just your life, your legs, something you need to move around and move forward in life can be taken from you like this. 24 hours, every 24 hours, it's pain. it's nothing but pain. it hurts to breathe. it hurts to sleep. it hurts the move from side the side. it hurts the eat.

>> the fall out over the shooting of jacob blake is one of the many police involved shootings of black americans this year that are sparking protests across the country. protest attended by mempbs of all races, creeds and ages. yesterday marked the 100th consecutive day of protests in portland, oregon. demonstrations that began after the death of george floyd in minneapolis on may 25th. among those who participated, 16-year-old daria allen, a high school junior. she spent her time rallying for racial justice in her hometown. she joins me now. it's good to see you. your profiled by the new york times about everything you learned from protesting and your experiences. can you share some of those with us? >> well, i was out at justice center, we were at the justice center during the protest and

the one that was doing the article, she came up to us and started asking us oh, how is it out here? asking us what withgoing on because she wasn't from portland. i just told her and she told me she wanted to do a story on me. i was like, okay. out there, it's kind of hard when everybody is all running from the police to like get your voice out. everything is all chaotic. when it's like the pro-cop thing, they don't want to listen to you neither. it's horrible. >> tell me what continues to inspire you to go out and protest? >> well, my family, that video of jacob blake that just popped up. just last night, i was out and i got tackled down by the state police just for having a peaceful demonstration.

the other people they might have been provoking the police, instigating them, doing stuff like that. they didn't go after those people. they just grabbed anybody they could get. anybody that was in front of them. luckily, i was aminor so they released me. it was still scary. >> how the you keep yourself safe when you go out there? you described it as chaotic. police sometimes are grabbing anyone when those tensions are escalated. how do you make sure you go home safely every night? >> make sure i go home safely every night by -- i don't know. there's a call out there and it moves like water, be like water. usually that's how i am. most of the time i just try to move through the crowd, get my friend. link arms with her and pray up and move through. it's not illegal to have a peaceful demonstration. we the right to assemble. that's a human right. them just attacking us, that's

not fair. they have no reason to be attacking us. go attack the actual people that are doing damage and looting or whatever you want to call it. you're just attacking the people that are trying to exercise their rights. when the pro-cop right wing people come up here with guns and stuff, they don't arrest them. they present them. >> school starting back up. how will you balance going back to school and taking part in these protests? >> i'm really good at multi-tasking. >> that's a good skill set. >> yeah. during the morning, i'll be doing my school work. things like that. then later on during the night, i'll go on and protest. i'm not going to stop just because school starts. maybe it will even help me in school being out there experiencing everything that's going on. >> daria allen, you're inspiring. wee appreciate the opportunity to talk to you today.

>> reporter: the university spokeswoman says they are getting dozens of calls about this from across the country. >> what we really need to find out are who are the people who are asymptommatic that are positi positive. this use of waste water base epidemiology will be really important. >> with the different ways schools are approaching reopenings, how can officials especially sure safety above all is achieved? this past week dr. fauci said once students are back in school, shthey should not go ba home. is shelter in place the way to go? >> thank you so much. i think his point is if you take students are in high transmission areas and send them back to communities that are low community areas, you're helping spread the disease more. the recommendations he had where

schools should consider in addition to all the measures we talked about, the distancing, the smaller class size, the use of mask, to use testing on entry and use testing as a surveillance and you've seen waste water testing as one way. other schools have it employed just random testing of students and faculty. in addition to that to have quarantine on campus which allows you to isolate students who might have been exposed so they are not continued to transmit that, there's a couple of challenges to this. the cdc guidelines for college opening don't place testing as that much emphasis on testing. you have this gap in terms of what colleges are doing. there's a study that showed only one third of the students of the colleges are actually testing students on entry and less than 20% are planning to test them regularly. this is one of the main tools that we have. the other challenge is, i think

you're mail nailing with the reporting. you might have all the the frustrate but what it requires is a behavior change. if you actually one way is to do negative reenforcement by punishing student pps the other positive is to create safer spaces for students to socialize on campus. notre dame creating these out door spaces where students could sees socialize. >> dr. fauci said keeping students from being infected are almost impossible. will we okay with that? >> this is a tough one. you saw two things. you is a the colleges that open and ended up having exposures and requiring quarantines. dorms became quarantine halls that then became infirmaries. this is the worst case scenario. this idea we're doing this trial

and error that we might see this. you might see some positive results because you are picking up what's going on in the community. the colleges reflect what's going on in the community. it is avoiding on campus transmission as much as possible. it's avoiding transmission on campuses being more intensified that's what's beginning on in the community. dreesi in decreasing the rate of that transmission. that would be wonderful. can't happen. what can duo to decrease the number of infections happening if you get one positive person that doesn't transmit beyond that person. >> would you like to sew more schools doing some of the measures we talked about including using hotels as quarantine sites? >> places are doing that.

many colleges are creating these quarantine spaces. boston, the test positivity remains low. we're starting to see it go up. we are seeing some cases have that quarantine space. having a place where students could quarantine would be a good intermediary measure so they don't have to make a decision to send that student home if they are coming from a place where they can't easily go home. >> thank you so much for your expertise this afternoon. see you soon. that's it for me this hour. the news continues after the break on msnbc. hour the news continues after the break on msnbc gets complicated, a lot goes thr with fidelity wealth management, your dedicated adviser can give you straightforward advice and tailored recommendations. that's the clarity you get with fidelity wealth management.
