bowser city is falling apart right now literally. then there?es washington, d.c., was a beautiful place. you might remember it from your six grade trip. parks and trees and open spaces. a city the country was proud of. now it's open spaces are lined with tents and inside them drug addicted vagrants live and they emerge periodically to scare and harass visitors and local residents. including a hotel lobby that's out of control. under the leadership of muriel bowser, people who pay taxes in washington are fleeing the city. in huge numbers. but that's okay with democratic national committee because muriel bowser is on their team. she may have wrecked our nation's capital, a city she did not build, but she got the politics right and that's all that matters. >> so i created black lives matter plans are right behind me as a place where we could come together to say enough. because we can't just paint those words behind me. we can't just say those words. we have to live those words. >> tucker: yeah, she's living those words. meanwhile your unemployment

joining me now, mayor muriel bowser to talk about the impact of this. you know her well, you've been in touch with her, since she was nominated. and i've got to think, for the rest of us, it was a stunning speech, i think that she really had more self-confidence and more impact than a lot of vice presidential acceptance speeches. but it's particularly for black women and girls, your daughter, what does she represent? >> well i think so that she represents america. and she shows -- i think her story is truly an american story. the daughter of immigrants, a woman who worked her way through the legal system in politics, and now as a vice presidential contender. so i think hers is a story of american grit, work, determination, and truly being exceptional at what she does, and that's why she's being recognized. for us, for black women, we see ourselves in her. we see our work in the democratic party recognized in a way that is so powerful. what she should see in us is a powerful force that's going to get her to the white house with joe biden. >> of course la

mayor muriel bowser joins us. thank you for waiting during all that breaking news. of course the covid news, the pandemic, which you've been on top of, in trying to keep everyone safe and protect the region as well, working with maryland and virginia, and also of course the election. i want to ask you first about kamala harris and the angry black woman description, the way the president has been describing her as nasty and mean and horrible. what is your take on that? >> well, andrea, we know that women -- and we've seen it, we saw it in the last election and we see it now with senator harris, that are frequently attacked, unfairly attacked, and often not defended. i'm very sad to see the president of the united states attack this very accomplished woman and calling her angry because she's tough, or calling her mean because she wants to hold him accountable for four years of bringing our economy down. so i think as women and all of our allies, we have to stand up and speak up against that type of racist trope that so many black women have endured. >> there has been

may your bowser in d.c.urposely not protecting people, leaving the trump event the other day on thursday and do we need to dust off the clips of the hollywood people, the media, and the democrats calling for physical violence against trump and his supporters? i'm ready to dust that off right now. the funniest line is this when they say donald trump is stoking the violence. that is them saying i'm mad at trump are talking about the violence that we are committing. i've never seen anything like this, dana. that is why i was telling you guys the other day that the democrats must be nervous because they have been seeing these internal polls. now you have nancy saying don't debate. you have barack and michelle begging for people to vote by mail early. does that sound like a competent campaign that is up by 15? no. that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. >> dana: there was the former vice president, the former vice president, and now the nominee, greg, today he was talking about rioters and looters and sayi

he says to mayor bowser, d.c. mayor bowser should arrest these agitators and thugs. clean up d.c. or the federal government will do it for you. enough. what does he mean the federal government will do it for you? what does he have in mind in d.c.? >> i think what's absolutely concerning is that individuals leaving an event at the white house cannot simply leave, go to their vehicles or wherever they might be going, that they're accosted time and time again. so i think their concern there is making sure, again, law enforcement do their job, that you can protest peacefully all day long, all night long if you choose to. once you cross that line of violent activity, law enforcement needs to step in. we saw that in early june in d.c. where federal law enforcement came in, and we had a number of rioting and looting occurring and we brought in local law enforcement to address that quickly. that's a case study on how to do this correctly in other cities. >> i want to turn to your role in the convention. you obviously took part in that naturalization ceremony that was played in a video at

whether is a civil rights icon that was a moment in history, like debating about the protests but mayor bowser in dc said people have to quarantine when you come back from georgia for 14 days but when asked whether people who went to that funeral would have to quarantine, no. when asked if other people in high risk areas like georgia would self quarantine the press secretary said yes. quickly, your thoughts on what people see a double standard. >> more hypocrisy. john lewis was an absolute icon of the civil rights movement, american hero and i am glad to they are allowing people to come and celebrate his life and president bush gave a wonderful speech, president clinton gave a lovely speech. it wasn't a governmental function, it was a political rally when president obama got up there. the fact is if i lived in the district of columbia and my grandmother died in georgia and i went down there they wouldn't let me have more than 50 people at my grandmother's funeral. somebody's grandmother isn't any more or less important than john lewis and this is a problem with these double standards in these

mayor muriel bowser speaking above black lives matter plaza, a place sheet painted so it can be a place everyone can stand together and say enough, we have had enough of racial injustice in this country. that is the powerful moment. it sends a signal to the democratic party, to voters that they're prioritizing racial injustice and rooting out systemic rate is him -- systemic racism and addressing police brutality as they care about addressing the covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis we are in. they are showing that can talk about all three of these major issues. where's from the president we normally hear them talking about the economic crisis and not so much the pandemic and police brutality. host: the president today in minnesota and wisconsin, at times questioning the mental acuity of the former vice president. how does the vice president campaign sponsor that ongoing drumbeat from the president that joe biden is not up to the job? guest: well quite frankly the biting campaign finds that line of attack and questioning ridiculous. and they almost do not want to engage with it. th

anecdotally speaking here in washington, d.c., mayor bowser had to come out and urge that there be peaceful protests because of there were some protesters who were captured via social media who were screaming at patrons in restaurants, so i think the mayor here in washington, d.c., mayor muriel dynamicis aware of that . even the biden campaign had to come out a couple of days ago to urge useful protesting. so i think it is a new intensity to the race relations conversation in this country. tom: kevin cirilli, thank you so much for your work in the last two weeks. it has been extraordinary. our chief convention correspondent. right now, bloomberg contributor at iona college, jeannie joins us. i am fascinated by the ron paul video and the memories back to 1968. of this lee, there are no parallels including the lack of smoke-filled rooms, but tell me how law and order is addressed by both parties in the coming days. >> it was a fascinating view. a trump speakingnk and in the background you could hear bullhorns and sirens. and after senator paul spoke, there was that video you referenced. it go

joining us is the mayor of washington, d.c., democrat muriel bowser.ak tonight at the democratic national convention as part of the program that addresses the nationwide calls for racial justice reform. it's great to see you. i absolutely adore black lives matter plaza. you're going to go down in history for that, and it's amazing on many levels. so preview for us, if you could, what you plan to talk about, what you hope to touch upon or at the very least, not to give it all away, what's the impact of the message you hope that voters will receive from your talk tonight. >> well, mika, what i will address is what everyone is talking about all across america. and that is why it's so important that we have a new president that recognizes that fanning the flames of racist systems will not make our country better. and we are having a racial reckoning in our country, and it's so important that all of us on every level, those who are elected and everyone else, is focused on how we make our country more fair and more just. >> a lot of people really felt like a

here's the mayor of washington, muriel bowser, announcing mandatory quarantines just last week.aker anyone coming into washington, d.c., from a high-risk area who is not traveling for essential activity will be required to self-quarantined for 14 days. >> tucker: okay, so that's a lot to ask of a population of the promises it's about science so it applies to everyone. science doesn't work if it only applies to the people without power and not to the people who do have power. that's exactly what's happening. those rules do not apply, those quarantine rules, to the hundreds of democrats who huddled together at congressman john lewis' funeral/political rally last week. do you remember that one that the networks aired for hours, where barack obama shouted about senate procedure at a funeral? the people went to that are exempt because somehow charting left wing slogans and churches "official government business." unlike having a church service in michigan for example or conducting a neighborhood cookout in washington. normal americans are still subject to cdc guidelines. they are not

please welcome mayor muriel bowser. mayor bowser: hello.nation's capital is the story of reckoning. it was here that john lewis and dr. king spoke on the steps of the lincoln memorial. it was here that millions of women and men flooded the streets for the women's march. it was here that just weeks ago, masks anddonned face safely and peacefully protested and yes of george floyd. while we were peacefully protesting, donald trump was plotting. he stood in front of one of our most treasured houses of worship and held a bible for a photo op. he spent -- he sent troops into our streets, sent tear gas into the air, and federal helicopters too. i knew if he did this to d.c. he would do it to your city or town, and that is when i said enough. enough for every black and brown american who has experienced injustice. enough for every american who believes in justice. i said enough for another reason too. i have a two-year-old daughter and i want her to grow up in an america where she is not scared to walk to the store, an america where she is safe beh

a moment in history, it's like debating about the protest as well but the one thing is that mayor bowsern d.c. has said, people under quarantine when you come back but when asked about whether people who went to that funeral had to quarantine, she said no. when asked to people who went to nongovernmental funerals would have to self-quarantine, the press secretary for the mayor said yes. quickly what you your thoughts on what is a double standard. >> john lewis is an icon of the civil rights movement, i'm glad they allowed people to come and celebrate his life and president bush gave a wonderful speech, president clinton gave a lovely speech. it wasn't a governmental function, it was a political rally once president obama got up there and started speaking. if i lived in the district of columbia, my grandma died in georgia and i went down or they wouldn't let me have more than 50 people at my grandmother's funeral and they'd make me quarantine when i came home. somebody's grandmother isn't any more or less important than john lewis, this is a problem with these double standards and these r

and you could have added to that, lori lightfoot and muriel bowser to that list. and i saw this great quote, when -- when you posed that question. it was, strong women don't have attitudes, they have standards and boundaries. and that's something we know this president doesn't have. he doesn't have any standards. he doesn't have any boundaries. and he's a drowning man. and if we aren't careful, he's going to take us all down to the bottom with him. and so, this is the reason it was so important that the ticket that joe biden put together reflected who we are, as america. the diversity of america. and also, reflecting that there are strong women of color who lead with integrity. and i am looking forward to speaking at the dnc convention and casting my vote because this president is a disgrace to our country. and it's only getting worse. >> it's interesting to contrast, you know, what the president says about kamala harris with what she, actually, said and how she said it. you know, in the first public event with -- with vice president biden. you know, she -- she wa

i interviewed mayor bowser about her affordable housing. she said washington is such an expensive place to live. the gentrification has been large. that is also a sign of success. business is in, etc. you have to plant and make this happen. as a planner, a city leader, how do you build in the notion affordable housing is a natural and healthy part and moving people through opportunity somehow gets the city to be -- it's about sustainability, right? a cogenthave to have story to tell. as i described earlier, the situation where in the early stages of the light rail redevelopment along the corridor there was affordable pieces of property that can be acquired for affordable housing. the long-term plan was yes, we will anchor the afford will housing projects along the light .ail corridor transit is an important aspect when building affordable housing , the plan is as with the ships in the harbor rise and the property values in this area mixeased, we want to have a of housing. we want diversity in housing. the story we have been telling for the

i interviewed mayor bowser recently about her affordable housing project. washington has been such an expensive place to live. the gentrification has been so large and that is a sign of success. you have got to kind of plan and make this happen. leader, how, a city to get ahead of this? how do you build in the notion affordable housing is a natural and healthy part and moving people through opportunity somehow gets the city to be -- it is about sustainability, right? >> yes. you do have to have a cogent story to tell. as i described earlier the situation where, in the early stages of the light rail along the corridor, there was affordable pieces of property that could be acquired for affordable housing. the long-term plan was, yes, we are going to anchor these affordable housing projects along the corridor because transit is an important apartment building affordable housing, but the plan is that as the ships in the harbor rise and the property values in this area ultimately, we want to have a mix of housing. we want to have diversity in housing. that was t

me, jenny durkan, keisha lance bottoms, muriel bowser. but every single time he does, he underestimates how tough we are, how resilient we are, and how we are ready and able to lead. he's going to make the same mistake against kamala harris, and he is going to be pushed back on his heels. this is not a woman to be trifled with. she is tough. she is fearless. and more importantly, she is going to bring into the conversation of this campaign lots of people who are going to be looking to her as a leader, going to be seeing themselves in her, and going to be proud that she is on the stage on a national level. and he is underestimating the unifying factor that she is going to bring to this election. and they always underestimate us to their peril, and they're going to do the same thing with kamala. >> underestimate her to your peril. a helpful caption for everybody moving on from this moment. mayor lori lightfoot of the great city of chicago, madam mayor, i can hear the strain in your voice. i hope you are taking good care. thanks for taking t

governor andrew cuomo and michigan governor gretchen whitmer, and washington, d.c., mayor muriel bowser. joe biden will also speak in short video about racial justice. this comes as "the daily beast" reports there are no muslim speakers in the dnc's s primetie lineup -- and only a handful of latinx voices. there are a number of republicans, john kasich will be speaking tonight. congressman khanna, you published a column on common dreams titled "why i am voting no on the democratic party platform." you write -- "history teaches us that the democratic party has sometimes faced an issue so great that it alone should be the yardstick for measuring the wisdom of voting for or against the platform. this is one of those times. i believe that moving away from a profit-based healthcare system is the moral issue of our time. and in the final analysis, because of that belief, i could not vote for a platform that lacks a clear statement supporting medicare for all." explain. aboutm veryry enthusiastic supporting joe bididen and kamaa harris to defeat donald trump, but i cannot vote for this platfor

overlooked because it's happening right now, but she's also dedicated time to helping the mayor, mayor bowsere in washington, d.c., deal with the covid-19 pandemic, kind of working on the domestic chops as well. so, i think, again, there isn't a bad choice on this list. every one of them comes with great, great strengths, and i really do believe can handle anything that comes at them, literally anything. >> christina, what do you make of susan rice's ability to join the campaign the way you talk about stacey abrams? stacey abrams, as far as campaigners go, when you're in a room with stacey abrams, it's pretty clear you're in a room with stacey abrams. she has got a remarkable presence. she engages people. she gives you that eye lock. she talks to everybody in person. we haven't seen susan rice in those environments, but she's fairly comfortable with them. >> sure. i mean, she's been a public servant for quite some time. i think the concern that i have and many americans have is that we don't get to january 20th and a celebration for the democrats if we can't pass november 3rd. and we can't so

and, frankly, the mayor, democrat mayor, mayor bowser, should have done a better job. but at the same time, we had the police, they were very brave. i guess it started out with two, and they took a beating. they really took some heavy hits. one went down but got right up. and two others joined them, and they were able to get rand and kelly through. but there was a terrible, terrible thing to witness. but other people went through sum -- not to the extent in terms of taping, but from what i herald as bad or worse. they share biden's same talking points and his same agenda for our nation. and even his strange speech today that he made in pittsburgh, he didn't mention the fact, and he didn't mention the far left. he didn't mention the far left or, from what i saw, i don't believe he mentioned the word antifa. antifa's a criminal organization, and he didn't mention antifa thugs. but mostly seemed to blame the police and law enforcement. he went on point after point after point, he even talked about those on the right, but he didn't talk about those on the left, and those o

mayor muriel bowser.joining us. >> thank you. >>> they spoke about the possibilities under their leadership. what was your first takeaway from their message today? >> well, i was so delighted to see the vice president introduce senator harris. i thought she was the picture of vibrancy, toughness, and of the future. you heard her say that she would make the case against trump and pence and what they have done to our country, she thought it was an open-and-shut case. when she said that, i below i have her. >> how does it feel to see the first black woman, south asian woman on the stage as vice president nominee of a major political party? >> it's affirming to all of us black women, in support of campaigns, in support of candidates, to no that this extremely qualified woman who's already put herself out there to the american people is being recognized. she is going to be a great part of why joe biden wins this election, and helps restore the soul of america, bring our country back from the covid pandemic and

mayor muriel bowser. of new york reportedly did not get, black lives matter protesters did not get a permit. when they put black lives matter on the street here in new york city but these guys get arrested? what is going on here? >> it's a massive double standard. you look in, i think it was nevada or, you know, utah, can't remember which state, just recently, the supreme court ruled that you know, casino could be open but a church can't? and they can actually increase the size of their, you know, the number of people based on the size of the facility whereas a church couldn't do that? it is absurd what is going on. we're hearing this stuff from the left going on all of the time. you can't, i guess you have a meeting, even if you're following social distance rules, if your belief, whatever your petitioning forgoes against what liberal democrats want you to. this is insane. it goes back to that, if you don't think the way we do, you don't get to hold your meeting. that's bizarre. they're denying first amen

mayor muriel bowser, thank you so much for being on the show with us this morning. and that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >>> hi there. i'm stephanie ruhle. it's monday, august 17th, the start of a very unconventional democratic national convention week. the big event kicks off this evening, but it will be mostly virtual without the big crowds we're used to seeing. all the big names will appear because it will be remotely and the events and speeches have been cut way down. tonight's featured speakers will be bernie sanders and michelle obama. of course, all of this is remote due to the coronavirus pandemic. we are up to 5.4 million cases across the united states. along with nearly 171,000 deaths in america. however, according to "the new york times," we are seeing some moves. cases are rising in only seven states. nearly two dozen states are seeing cases go down that includes hot spots like florida, south carolina and arizona. but the pandemic is still expected to keep millions from voting in person and opting to vote

i can because nicholas muriel bowser, of washington dc, doesn't change the fact their politics are neoliberal, and attacked by donald trump in the republican party and it is racist and sexist, the reason she can have residents among ordinary black people is because of that. what was talked about, link they stand still exists. the pre-civil rights era where there are class tensions among african-americans with jim crow, and cingular spaces where there had to be some means of coexistence. things don't exist to the same degree but there is still sympathy that exists among black people. that is why barack obama despite his kind of benign presidency, when it came to improving the condition of black people is incredibly popular among african-americans, michelle obama is incredibly popular among african-americans, i do think the further we get from the period of civil rights and political insurgency that erupted during that time period, the more class lines and black communities are entrenched. i started thinking of that article probably three weeks before it came out and what i was originally going

mayor muriel bowser speaking above black lives matter plaza, a place sheet painted so it can be a placeryone can stand together and say enough, we have had enough of racial injustice in this country. that is the powerful moment. it sends a signal to the democratic party, to voters that they're prioritizing racial injustice and rooting out systemic rate is him -- systemic racism and addressing police brutality as they care about addressing the covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis we are in. they are showing that can talk about all three of these major issues. where's from the president we normally hear them talking about the economic crisis and not so much the pandemic and police brutality. host: the president today in minnesota and wisconsin, at times questioning the mental acuity of the former vice president. how does the vice president campaign sponsor that ongoing drumbeat from the president that joe biden is not up to the job? guest: well quite frankly the biting campaign finds that line of attack and questioning ridiculous. and they almost do not want to engage with it. they h

please welcome mayor muriel bowser. >> the story of our nation's capitol is a story of reckoning.morial. millions of men and women flooded the streets for the millions march. americans donned face masks and safely and peacefully protested the death of george floyd. while we were protesting, donald trump was plotting. he stood in front of one of our most treasured houses of worship to 30pose with a bible. i knew if he did this to d.c., he would do it to your city and town. i said, that's enough. i said enough for every black and brown american who experienced injustice. for every american who believes injustice. i said enough for another reason too. i have a 2-year-old daughter and i want her to grow up in an america where she's not scared to walk to the store. an america where she's safe behind the doors of her own home. an america where the president doesn't fan the flames of difference in all of us. i created black lives matter plaza. by coming together this november to elect joe biden and kamala harris, we will say next. we can't just paint those words, we can't just say those

you actually did hear that from mayor bowser as well around the incident at lafayette park with the teargasnd all of that when he was trying to go to the church. more of have be the democrats are spending this. they are much more focused on message andultimate ese protests, which they believe are fighting for justice and against police brutality. they have their concerns about things like the federal officers who were sent to portland, for example, and that is really much more how they are framing this them what you are seeing -- this them what you are seeing from republicans, the president, the fox news, which is more roof of this image -- which is more of this image of violence. i looked at it last night. i really saw inner strength in each of the participants. they said what was in their heart. they are going for all the people in the world. the world is looking at the nation, but ias a enjoyed what they said. they are giving us hope. the main thing i am concerned pity thethis -- i president, president trump, because he is in the hotseat. is president, i am praying is a christian woman t

ever be afraid to walk down a public street in the united states of america, and i blame the mayor bowserd paul. rand paul was on this program on friday, chris, and he mentioned that if the police weren't there , he felt that they would have killed him. he also, you know, he was very specific in the death threats. which is a felony. he's a federal officer. you can not make death threats of a federal officer. he also felt that these people were not there just by happensta nce. he felt they had been hired and they were part of an intimidation program. >> i'm 100% convinced that this was an organized event and that people were paid. they were using the same lines and when that one young person, i call her little miss pop tart was yelling in my face, she had a handler behind her who was controlling her, and then behind that person were about four or five larger men with backpacks and then they had separate people filming, and so it was very well-organized. they knew what they were doing, they were trying to illicit a response from us, but you know, we chatted very quickly, as we weighedded in
