they tell me aoc is mia.er polarization and divisiveness is not good for the times, not good for new york, and not good for our neighborhoods. mr. louis: thank you. next we will hear from badrun khan. mr. khan: thank you for inviting me to this debate -- han: we have issues of jobs, housing, health care. in district 14, it is the epicenter of the coronavirus. that is why i support universal basic income so people who can feed their kids. food insecurity that is happening in my district is sad. we do not have enough hospitals in our neighborhood. we need to find more hospitals. the second reason is, i want to talk about the quality. talking about equality, what is happening now, what happened to george floyd -- my heart goes out to his family. we stand for black lives. after i saw the video, i said, we need to come together and put the country first and get everyone together. a lot of we have issues with covid-19. we need peace and to pull together to protect our loved ones and the people in our district. than

they tell me aoc is mia.er polarization is not good for the times, not good for new york, and it is not good for our neighborhoods. >> thank you. >> thank you for inviting me to this debate. i decided to run about a year ago because we still have a lot of issues of jobs, housing, and health care. district 14 is the epicenter of the epicenter of the coronavirus covid-19. that is why a support universal basic income which will allow $1000 for people who could give their kids who do not have food now because of food insecurity that is happening in my district is sad. the lines are insane. we do not have enough hospitals in my neighborhood. it is important that we find more hospitals. everyone was driving to elmhurst. i want to talk about equality in income we just do not have. with what is happening now my heart goes out to george floyd's family. and everyone in this situation. after i saw the video, i said, i cannot breathe. we need to all come together and put the country first and unite everyone together. cur

aoc, the radicals, the socialists will dictate everything.his is america versus socialism and we need donald trump to get a second term to stop all this. >> jason: you've seen with the vice president has done, the gap that happened on a daily if not hourly basis and then you see him taking these policy positions that are so radical, so foreign to what americans are used too. how does that play in the context of defunding the police which is where the left wants to go, how was i going to play out in 2020? >> here is the thing. i don't necessarily think that joe biden is a progressive and the way that aoc is a progressive, but he's going to be the progressive's puppet, and we saw what matt pointed out with joe biden literally abandoning his opposition taxpayer-funded abortions, something he believed for decades within 24 hours of criticism, so of course he is going to be malleable to these progressives on the left to you pointed out want to defund the police. and that should terrify everyone watching right now because look around the country an

he's an ally of aoc., i have forgotten his name. >> sanders. stuart: sanders. bernie sanders. you can't doubt that the green new deal now has a shot in the arm. >> the green new deal is popular among the radical base of the democrat party but that is not reflective of america, especially when you go into these small communities in very important swing states, places like ohio, pennsylvania, where 400,000, 500,000 men and women work in the oil, gas, coal, fracking industry. they are going to push back very hard against a national effort led by the biden campaign to take away their jobs. so it may be powerful on the fringe, but the fringe does not reflect american values. stuart: joe biden is not wholeheartedly in favor of the original green new deal as written by some senators and by aoc. he's not a full-blown green new deal guy, though, is he? >> no. well, joe biden is trying to have it both ways. he's in that tough position of keeping aoc and the bernie sanders wing of the party comfortable, but also try

aoc seem to be even a little too radical for george stephanopoulos.s, their exchange this morning. >> why is it necessary to take the money from the police? i understand your argument, the argument you're making about expanding social services, investing in social services, but the research does show that more police on the street means less crime. >> well, i think there's one question that is interesting here is that when it comes to funds, it's not always just about the number of officers in the street, it's about the police precincts that have tanks, that have military weaponry and, frankly, have a degree of, have a degree of material resources and war-like, war-like weaponry that people ask why does a local police precinct have this in the first place? lou: aoc having a little trouble getting to her notes apparently there, that's the only thing i could figure out that she would be doing. politicians like aoc proposing cuts to police departments, they should have to answer, don't you think, for the cost of their proposals? they've incited more viol

aoc is mia. >> real quick response. >> i'm here. i'm here all the time. i do political education training. i drafted the green new deal for public housing, with residents. and experts in addition to the union and many others and making sure we get this. support forwe got the green new deal. make sure it has world-class clean air and water and energy efficient facilities within it. time, thank you for the you give us. there's going to do it for tonight's debate. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] >> candidates in the district rate face each other in the debate hosted by spectrum news new york one. focused on the converse, economic -- it focused on the coronavirus, economica recovery. the primary is june 23. ♪ >> good evening, i'm the political anchor. after months of a devastating health crisis, our city is starting to reopen. but that comes in the white of several weeks -- wake of several weeks of unrest. we're also keeping our eyes on the primary. that's

they tell me aoc is mia. the worst part is at the height inthe crisis, we saw lines front of elmhurst hospital. my opponent, who promised to be present when she ran, she did not come home. she stayed in her luxury apartment in washington dc for a full week, even though congress was not in session. errol: let's give her a chance to respond. rep. ocasio-cortez: thank you so much. actuallyart by answering the question that you asked, which is one of the questions to be made. we would and qualified of unity which would shield law enforcement officers from .overing up inhumane abuses it covers up constitutional abuses. no person who breaks the law, no person her -- no person who hurts another human being should be shielded. the other thing we need to commit to his ending the transfer of military equipment to the police department. they are not equipped for it, they are not trained for it, and police are not military. the third thing i think we should do on a worker level, the when i'm actively engaged in is the re

aoc and ilhan omar, what you need here, what you need next month? got it and send it in virtually. do you actually think he's going to debate trump if he is ten points up in the polls? no way. >> we will see, i like to be there. the first one is at notre dame, i hope we get to cover it. joe biden at one point took a prerecorded question during this fund-raiser talking back to prerecorded questioners really does to make usually does not work out well, watch. >> we have a question coming up now from someone else. is that true, am i correct? >> hi, president obama, vp bid biden. i am -- >> you are an icu nurse, is that what i was told? >> biden has been so reluctant to host any large rallies. >> none. >> but in barcelona they opened an opera house with an audience that the vp might feel very comfortable around, 2,300 potted plants. watch. ♪ laura, my question here is, did the ficus in the orchestra pay extra? that was a question i kept coming to my mind as i watch that. >> laura: i think those plans are about as excited as the democrat electorate is about biden, the same emotion. >> o

bernie sanders, aoc. that's where he's heading.hat's the path america will be heading down with that man as president. >> jason: you just look at his record and what he had to do in order to get the nomination. but normally once you get the nomination, they go a little bit further to the center. but joe biden hasn't gone further to the center. he seemed to be lurching even further to the left. >> that's right, jason. w at the acu, we've looked at all his votes in the senate over the years. he's got a very left-wing voting voting record. but theve one characteristic record over time is even on the issues like life, he has moved over time to be captive of the radical left. you know, he even voted against all the defense spending to take on the soviet union. he's been wrong on almost every national security question and now he comes to this question mandating certain things in this virus emergency. jason, we have to get back to the words of the constitution. i don't recall the question of a mask appearing anywhere in the constitution.

aoc also backed the defund the police movement now taking hold in the democrat party.at this movement is doing first and foremost is important to note that this is directed at city councils and mayors. you should look to see if your city is having this conversation but first and the other question hereto is, it's a valid question for people to ask, what should be our number one priority at all? with any agency i deserve to be funded more than almost all the others for healthcare, housing and youth combined. elizabeth: okay, we will drill down into how she is factually wrong or not but want to bring in senator from florida from rick scott, senator, great to have yawned. first off, alexandria ocasio-cortez cannot answer when she was confronted that defunding cops leads to increases in crime especially in poor minority neighborhoods like her district that she represents. what was your reaction when you heard this? >> first off, i never heard her say anything that made sense. you should be furious with what happened with george floyd. you should make sure we should demand

that is not even counting the $500,000 he is getting from aoc.ts more money from brooklyn, $30,000, than he gets from our district where he only has $21,000. this is disclosed in the sec filings. they are both financed from outside the district. i'm not. when you are going to go vote, who are you going to vote for? our district, or the people that support the two of you? i'm going to vote for our district. >> mr. bowman, you can respond. mr. bowman: that's all right. this then.sk you it has come up a couple of times. $500,000 from the justice democrats. is that expenditures, support for you? what is behind the number? is independent expenditures. i do not know why this keeps coming up. i am talking about our campaign and the funds we have raised. we don't take any corporate any corporate pac money, and our critique of congressman engel if he is completely funded by big business, large donors, big pharma companies and big military companies. you cannot call yourself a progressive when you are accountable to corporate pac's and weapons manufacturer

that is not even counting the $500,000 he is getting from aoc.e gets more money from than he, $30,000, gets from our district where he only has $21,000. that is in the sec filings. they are both finance from outside the district. i'm not. when you are going to go vote, who are you going to vote for? our district or the people that support the two of you? i'm going to vote for our district. >> mr. bowman, you can respond. >> i am talking about our campaign and the funds we have raised. we don't take any corporate any money, and our iftique of congressman engel he is completely funded by big business. you cannot call yourself a progressive when you are ac'suntable to corporate p and weapons manufacturers. when you oppose barack obama's signature foreign policy, the iran deal, when you look at who funds him and what he votes for, you see a conflict of interest in terms of his foreign policy. >> if you honestly feel the way you say you feel, then why don't you publicly state that you don't want any money pledged from the justice democrats from the ju

enough to be an ultra liberal in new york city, you have to be a full-blown socialist in the era of aocjillian: you mentioned elliott and goal in those results, 92%, you can see 60.9 percentage versus elliott angle with 35.6%. it seems like right now the far left has gone so far that they really want change. what does it tell you you are seeing numbers like this? >> this is not my grandfather's democrat party, this party has looked over the edge, ran in 2018 basically on a fraud as moderates, problem-solving, focused problem solvers in the house and work with colleagues on the other side of the aisle, work with the administration. they have been anything but that, so out of touch with america that they are going to lose in november. rob: a real bonehead moment a few weeks ago when he said he wouldn't even be there when you really care if he didn't have a primary coming out. you have these guys, they call them dinosaurs, guys who have been there forever and on the left there's a lot more animosity toward those kinds of politicians from the aoc youth in congress. should people like chuck

if bernie sanders can't get progressives to move towards biden, aoc certainly cannot. they are serious about the platform of medicare for all, $15 an hour, serious about the green new deal and all the things they push and we have yet to hear what the task force board came up with to meet progressives in the middle. until that happens in biden is able to adopt the policies that are important to progressives i don't see them moving to be honest. shannon: look at the statement from bernie sanders to the new yorker on pushing joe biden to the left. if you're unhappy with biden's politics, if you disagree and i certainly do than the fight has got to take place turning today to make sure he moves in as progress of a way as possible, that his administration is as progressive as possible. do you think the country is ready for that much moved to the left? >> most of what they say our moderate towards the center but the thing bernie sanders forgot is the fight started a long time ago. these individuals four years ago to say this was indeed a revolution so a lot of progressive su

i wish it were just aoc. a lot of people want their sentence joe biden says i don't want to defund the police he might find black wires minimizing on the democrat convention screaming at him about their viewpoint on this. it's a big problem for democrats, hard to keep these people in the same time at the same time. >> is talking about reform. we will see. you guys, glad we had you, thanks for being with us. what happened during georgia's voting the claims of delays and confusion? we begin with that next. yup, on it there too. you may think you're doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...but could your medication do more to lower your heart risk? jardiance can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and it lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious

something that i think is going to be an issue heading into the election especially with people like aoc rashida tlaib who are advising joe biden. >> congresswoman alexandria a casio cortez and rashida tlaib have abdicated taking money from police budgets to fund alternative programs but the former vice president and presumed democratic nominee has made it clear he does not share their philosophy. >> no, i don't support defunding the police, i support conditioning federal aid to the police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and in fact are able to demonstrate that they can protect the community and everybody in the community. >> even as he tries to claim the high ground, president trump has in invented controversy with a conspiratorial tweet about this incident in buffalo where a 75-year-old protester was pushed to the ground by police, hitting his head and left bleeding on the sidewalk. the president tweeted "buffalo protester showed by police could be an antifa provocateur." 775-year-old martin gugino was pushed away. i watched, he fell harder than he

. >> that is not what aoc is saying, though.den is actually listening to that, would you vote for president trump? >> harris: scott, she was answering you back. go ahead, jenna. >> so this isn't what aoc is saying, you're just saying this is a slogan but that's not -- she is actually saying the exact opposite so you have the radical leftists and she is a biden advisor and if he's not willing to come out and take a firm stance and they're not actually just talking about police reform and willing to look at the statistics, when president trump is for law and order will you as a democrat stand with president trump and say yes, he has the right perspective, are you willing to say that? >> not in a million years will i stand with drum band by the way, democratic nominee biden has come out and said he's for reform and he's not for defunding the police. what they are really getting at is there reprogramming the funds and that is that men in blue. >> the squad is harnessing the democratic leftist party and if they go in the direction, y

and just imagine we allow democrats pelosi, biden, aoc to run the entire country? that would be absolutely awful and disastrous of epic proportions. we cannot allow that to happen. the ballot is all about law and order. we have to reestablish our country as a country of law and order. in the best way to do that is to make sure that donald trump gets reelected in november because no one stands stronger for law and order than that president. >> sean: but leo, donald trump keeps offering help. the summer of love zone we have how many people shot? this happened all during the barack and joe years, this is our american family, these are our american children, they're not living in safety and security. you look at these big cities and their record on education has been more per capita than any country in the industrialized world. we have failed america's kids. they run the states and cities for decades. >> democrats have failed these cities. i want every democrat to lead that party and look at what trump has done, look at the facts. money to historical black colleges, he

of the democratic party which joe biden has advisors who are part of that left-wing on his campaign, aoc is one of them, she is -- they brought them in because of course, bernie sanders wanted a bunch of delegates at the convention because they want some kind of part on the platform moving forward and they have to make a decision here about whether they are on the side of "law & order" or anarchy because that is the perception and what we are seeing. >> jessica: melissa, can i step in quickly -- >> melissa: i want to follow on one point that she made because charles, she said the economic impact, can you imagine a business setting up shop in seattle, can you imagine in that zone -- who's going to sell food? you think starbucks is going to be there? who is going to provide basic services? who in their right mind as those people are shaking down people who have businesses, who is this going to hurt the most in the long run? your thoughts really quick? >> charles: we are going to get an assessment from all of these riots real soon, it's going to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars wit

aoc also back as defund the police movement now taking hold in the democrat party. ocasio-cortez here. >> what is this movement is doing first and foremost, this is directed at city councils and mayors. you should look to see if your city is having this conversation. but first, and the other question here too is, i think it's a valid question for people to ask, what should be our number one budget priority at all? does any agency deserve to be funded more than almost all the others for health care, housing youth combined? elizabeth: okay. we're going to drill down how she is factually wrong on that but we want to bring in florida senator rick scott. sits on senate homeland security. first off, alexandria ocasio-cortez cot no answer when defunding cops leads to increases in crime in minority and poor neighborhoods like district she represents. what was your reaction when you heard this? >> first off, i never heard her say anything that ever made sense. you should be furious with what happened with george floyd. you should make sure, we should demand change. but what

you're being compared very much to aoc.ve to shorten your name and make you into a hash tag as well. do you think it's important to have more regular folks be in congress? you're a former middle school principal. she has waited tables and has had those life experiences, meaning you're not wealthy. do you think that that's part of the challenge of getting good representation that so many folks in congress are wealthy and don't necessarily know what it's like to sort of live life as a regular person? >> absolutely. we need more working class people in congress. 50% of congress are millionaires. big money in politics is a huge problem right now. and that's why congress has been compromised by the wealthy elite and large corporations. both aoc and i, not only did we work regular jobs and were working class people, but we were both organizationsers. we work with grass root organizations and organize around issues of education, housing, health care and many other issues and, you know, more important than even the endorsements i r

you have to understand that aoc is all about challenging the democratic establishment.she has in democratic primaries, running progressive candidates. i think she sees herself as part of a revolution. and also seen recently, that the institutional democratic leadership will cave under progressive pressure. and so she is going to press this idea as far and as hard as she can. she is the social media phenomenon, sort of like a an influencer capable of raising enormous amounts of money and that fund-raising frightens other democratic politicians. she is playing for large stakes and she thinks their moment has arrived. she is right. their moment has arrived. they're playing for all the marbles in this election, melissa. melissa: yeah. it will be interesting to see if the small donors follow her if they want joe biden to win because they hate president trump or want joe biden to lose because they want the democratic party to realize they have to move to the left if they ever win again. only time will tell. dan henninger, thanks for coming on. >> good to talk to you, melissa

i wish it were just aoc. i think a lot of people in the far left democratic party wants this. if joe biden says i don't want to defund the police and he might find "black lives matter" on the democratic convention and screaming about the viewpoint on this. it is a big problem for the democrats and very hard to keep all these people same temper at the same time. >> shannon: we are talking about reform. all right, we will see. richard, we are glad that we had you. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> shannon: okay, what happened during voting today commit claims for delays and confusion. we will begin with that next. right now is a time for action. that's why usaa is giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can pay for things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. discover all the ways we're helping members today. maybe it'll give us a new perspective. maybe we'll see things we've been missing. maybe it'll help us see just how connected we all are. and maybe... just maybe, if we look at the big picture... it'll remi

aoc on tuesday warned about democrats and others rying to repackage the push to defund the police to make it more palatable, to influence an ongoing among debate of what the left wing rallying cry actually means. yes, outside sources are doing it and inside sources are doing it as well. i think it's very concerning especially watching on television last night, i don't ave any more intel on this but number of streets. an autonomous zone inside the washington, taking over city hall by a city council them the key. where is the security in that? that? is the freedom in those are the things i'm concerned about. this type of ith stuff continues and members of and the ratic party outcome. i know there are real concerns. now going ts are after children's television, i've watched where a professor alabama put out how to take down the washington monument. i saw a cnn contributor who hinks the jefferson memorial and the washington monument should be taken down. just are things that i don't quite understand what they are doing. and what they are playing into. angels of better america, of what th

he's advisers like aoc are funding for defunding the police. it's very problematic for joe biden. >> when you see polls like the one that cnn had today with -- this is a national poll. i get that. president trump is down 14 points to joe biden and we're reading about the campaign, thinking that the president might need to give a national address or do something differently. i know that you probably have polls that show the president doing better than that. is there some concern that you have to figure out a way to step on the gas? >> look, we have been stepping on the gas since day one. this campaign is sophisticated, organized and we continue to see the incredible enthusiasm coming from across the states. you know, as we know, we're still five months away. i can show you polls showing the president is ahead. as we know, our internal polls -- >> dana: will you come on tomorrow and show us the polls? i'll take them any day. the point is i want to ask you about something that happened over the weekend where of course social media is not everybody

aoc is an incredibly divisive person even in her own party.in line, and i think it's really bad news for america. i can't even imagine her in a position like this. melissa: no. gary, if biden wins, will you take your money and run for your life to root country, another island -- to another country, another island, anything? >> let me put it best, if he puts aoc with energy policy, elizabeth warren treasury secretary, these people are left of leftist, and and they are out to -- melissa: all right, thanks to both of you. thanks, guys, for playing our fun game today, my worst financial nightmare. that does it for us. and connell as well. we will be back here tomorrow. "lou dobbs tonight" -- ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. we begin tonight with the rising tensions between the united states and communist china. the federal communications commission today designated chinese telecom companies huawei and zte as national security threats. the fcc also barring u.s. telecom companies from using federal subsidies to buy equipment and services from those c

you have aoc on tuesday warned about democrats and others trying to repackage the push to defund the police, to make it more palable to affluent swing voters on an ongoing debate what the rallying cry actually means. outside sources and inside sources as well and very concerning. especially watching on television last night. i don't have anymore intel on this, but overtaking a number of streets. an autonomous zone inside the state of washington, taking over the city hall by a city council person. giving them the key. where is the security in that? where is the freedom in that? those are the things i'm concerned about of what happens when this type of stuff continues and members of their own democratic party of what they say the outcome. there's real concerns. i watched democrats are now going after children's television. for "paw patrol" wanting to eliminate that. i watched a professor in alabama put out how to take down the washington monument. i saw a cnn contributor thinks the jefferson memorial and washington monument should be taken down. these are things that i just don't quite

is it the old democratic party of sleepy uncle joe from delaware or the radical new party of aoc can blm? what about the president himself? he does now trail the former vice president, as we said, by a wide margin. can he make up the gap? a major figure in republican politics, steve bannon was mr. trump's chief strategist in the first seven months of his administration. steve, thank you very much, indeed, for joining us. >> thanks, gerry. gerry: you've seen all the polls, you consume them all the time, but the latest fox news poll says president trump, 38%, vice president biden, -- he's in deeper trouble than when you took over his campaign. how does he get out of this? >> look, it's very simple. i know you're trying to be ironic about year zero. this, what's going on with these anarchists and these cultural marxists right now, to me, is what the vote in november is going to be about. year zero, this is all from the french revolution, from the boll bolsheviks, from the cultural revolution under mao. first they have to tear down your history, they have to reeducate you. this is not ab

"is jamaal bowman the next aoc?e he has hillary on his side so how could he possibly lose? i think there was a real danger here for these as marie calls them entrenched incumbents and what kind of blows my mind a little bit is these are people who had a front row seat to what happened to joe crowley who was rumored to be possibly a leading contender for speaker of the house. i know marie was on that bandwagon a little bit and he was caught napping, didn't take an opponent seriously in a primary, and you would think that would be a wake-up call saying it is time for us to really focus and get serious because the party seems to be changing from underneath our feet and if he is unable to do that and is only showing up in a pro forma way and confiding to people he doesn't really care about those issues, that is exactly the type of thing that can make them absolutely lose and we are seeing this also in senate races, real concerns with democrats in colorado that the handpicked chuck schumer candidate could be in trouble a

aoc runs away. no threat. what's going on with engel?, brian, i any we are seeing exactly what happened two years ago when aoc had that surprise win over establishment candidate joe crowley. you have seen that again with this bronx middle school teacher jamal bowman looks like is he going to beat eliot engel who has been in congress for 31 years. he has the support of everyone from chuck schumer and hillary clinton and nancy pelosi. he is the old guy he is being trownsed by a socialist. you are seeing this inside the democratic party. that's why we are having the mayhem we are seeing on the streets. this convulsion that is going on on the democratic side of politics where there is a hostile takeover by the radical left, by the socialist of the old guard and the only solution that the establishment has is to appease the left, and that's what they have been doing whether it's on issues like defunding the police, no borders. issues that they know are electorally unpalatable but they think that the only way they can hang on to power is timly

it is not surprising to see aoc take this primary challenge from michelle caruso carrera seriously.pent real money on this race. aoc knows better than most congressmen and congresswomen in new york that you can never dismiss a primary challenge. to years ago it was her who was counted out by the establishment and shock the world. it is not clear she is any real danger, but she is doing what she needs to do to make sure she can return to d.c. next year. tot: from the empire state the bluegrass state. take us to the senate primary in kentucky. guest: for the past year it has looked like amy mcgrath, a retired marine fighter pilot, had this primary in the bag. launched aker has someus comeback that has thinking this race could go the other way. the has run an unabashedly liberal campaign and has found his moment in the wake of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis and breonna taylor in louisville. he has been in several demonstrations and was even teargas to buy police at one point. in the last couple of months he has picked up endorsements from bernie sanders, aoc, elizabeth warr

so that they are solution and those that also call for defunding the police congresswoman omar and aoc to have multiple examples they will be de-funding are please why is this a dangerous move think this is a socialist takeover the democratic party coming up with things like this. i wouldn't be alive today without the heroic actions of police officers. in those days on the baseball field. they don't talk about the stories and then in the case of george floyd and everybody is in agreement but the idea if you are in a community depending where you live and you call 911 there will be nobody to answer the call there is a chilling thought to most people in this country. >> you are talking about and safe streets and communities and i say chaos. joe biden is promoting the chaos and even mentioned you had police and new york city who have been violently attacked ending up in the hospital and nightmare diblasio to say and shifting over to social services do you see that majority in minneapolis say we need to dismantle the police. dangerous moves by the democrats those that we see across the boa
