mark their history and it perhaps means new questions over traditional symbols more on that from donald cortez. the 4th of july is a time for barbecues fireworks and of course the american flag a time when americans are exceptionally proud to be well american and for decades leaders have used the occasion to proclaim that their part of the greatest country around america is the greatest country in human history. that america is the greatest country on the face of the earth but this year people apparently are not buying it recent polls suggest only 17 percent of americans can confidently say that they're proud of the current state of their homeland and who can blame them this year's 4th of july falls on a day when economic recession a global pandemic and nationwide protests against institutionalized racism all plague the country the us desperately need solutions and the people desperately need a holiday but for some criticizing july 4th symbols of patriotism seems to be on the top of the agenda. many are calling to switch the national anthem from the star spangled banner to america the beautifu

cortez stood up today to. silenced them all. and she did that hours before the white house briefing today and not a single reporter in the briefing room asked donald trump about the vicious attack on alexandria ocasio-cortez. five questions. that could have been one of them instead of, say, the idiotic question about baseball from one of the reporters who donald trump called on. not one question about intelligence reports, about vladimir putin paying to have american soldiers killed in afghanistan. white house reporters have been failing miserably at that question. not one of the reporters selected at these briefings has asked him about that. but today in his opening remarks, donald trump actually said that he had just got off the phone with vladimir putin and still no one asked him what he said to vladimir putin. we will discuss what donald trump should have said to vladimir putin later in this hour with former ambassador to russia, michael mcfaul. she was born 30 years ago in the neighboring burrow to where donald trump was born in queens. that hasn't stopped donald trump from telling her to come back to where she came from because he assumes ev

cortez. this upset. >> reporter: donald trump is taking notice. he and republicans i continue to pound away at joe biden is too liberal and out of touch with the center of america and being pulled left by the most radical in his party and there's new evidence by the tally in the race you talked about how far left the democratic party is moving. in ordinary times elliott angle of the house for the affairs committee would need a primary challenger. you spinning congress 52 years but these aren't ordinary times. jamal brown just beat and go in the democratic primary by double digits. a black man raised by single mother and housing project, that story doesn't usually end up in congress but today that 11-year-old boy who was by police is about to be your next representative. pretty cool he tweeted in a t-shirt, and with members of the squad, the foremost progressive women in congress. among them a lot omar who faces a primary challenger so that her challenger raised $3.2 million against her. bernie sanders tweeted ilhan omar is a woman of incredible st

donald trump es una bendiciÓn para los estados unidos. las crÍticas contra ivanka trump se vinieron en avalancha encabezada por ejemplo por ocasio-cortez queiÉn saliÓ a defenderla en un comunicado. solo los medios de comunicaciÓn y el movimiento de cancelar cultura critican aya y uivankau apoyo, y un periodista de virginia compro productos de goya y ha recaudado $200,000 y lo darÁ a la caridad porque tiene que respaldar muchÍsimos los hispanos como lin-manuel miranda y juliÁn castro que van a boicotear goya comprando productos alternativos y aseguran sentirse humillados de que una persona que lidera una compaÑÍa que es tan importante para los hispanos les estÉ dando su apoyo al presidente trump que tanto ha perseguido a nuestra comunidad. una controversia sin duda nicole que pica y se extiende, ahora regreso contigo. >>> estaremos atentos cristina muchas gracias, y bueno otro asesinato de un soldado hispano tiene a una familia pidiendo respuestas y justicia. enrique romÁn martÍnez de 21 aÑos desapareciÓ el fin de semana de memorial day en mayo mientras acampaba con otros compaÑeros en carolina del norte una semana despuÉs el ejercito infor

donald trump. a vote for biden is now completely about for who? bernie sanders, ocasio-cortezlosi, schumer and yes, confiscate your guns, bozobe o'rourke. listen to comrade bernie talking about how absolutely pleased he is with biden, well, embracing and even plagiarizing his far left, extreme socialism that has nothing but a complete history of failure. it's in my new book coming out in 19 days. "socialism: a history of failure." i have a whole chapter on it. take a look. >> as i mentioned, we put together a number of task forces with the biden campaign. one of them was on of care. he in fact moved a whole lot in hamany areas. >> sean: not only that, the biden campaign is outright saying they're going to raisehe taxes to fund an economy have been killing, climate radical agenda. take a look. >> and he will pay for by actually repealing some of the most egregious elements of those tax cuts, as well as making other tax reforms. the climate crisis is going to get worse and america's energy bills are just going to keep working families. bills are just going to keep skyrocketing,

cortez. its goal, getting american energy grid 100% carbon free by 2035, just 15 years which he took a hard shot at donald trump. >> donald trump thinks about climate change the only word he can muster is hoax. when i think about climate change the word i think of is jobs. >> reporter: the biden campaign putting out a statement saying what we heard in the rose garden today wasn't president at all the politician who sees his reelection slipping away from him it is furious his own botched response to the coronavirus pandemic has denied him the campaign event he so craves. the sad news, kanye was only going to get 2% in his first pole. it would have been great to have that third candidate in the race in the debates would be even more exciting television but kanye's campaign staffers say he is out. we will miss him. i'm not sure what else to tell you other than that was going to be another addition to 2020 we just didn't see coming. it was july 4th that he announced a short-lived campaign. >> the contrast between donald trump and joe biden really giving a snapshot into what an election debate might look like,

cortez and bernie sanders. we won't have manufacturing if you have joe biden, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, ohio, they all know it. the loser here is not donaldrump. >> welcome a complete loser, let me explain that. >> dana: use of the president wants to pit to it -- go, chris. >> in january when the president was praising the chinese president xi who was rolling him because the president does not know how to negotiate on an international stage and has failed america by trusting the chinese, when joe biden was saying in january, we should be questioning everything they said, when president trump made sure that our scientists were not in china to fight this disease there so i didn't come to our shore. america would be open had donald trump done what your updated and really clamped down and encouraged people to social justice and wear masks, instead he wanted to open in april, we weren't ready and now we are seeing the effects of that. consumer confidence in states that are open right now like texas and florida are done and shot and it's the president's fault. >> dana: i know you're going to disagree with that, tony. but i also think that it is

donald trump is afraidid of. amy: that is jamaal bowman, addressing supporters on election night. many have compared bowman's apparent victory to alexandria ocasio-cortez'stunning defeat of democrat joe crowley two years ago. progressive political strategist karthik ganapathy said -- "a middle school principal with no prior political experience defeating a 20-year incumbent -- that is an aoc-level upset." jamaal bowman joins us now from his home in the yonkers. welcome back to democracy now! thank you so much for being with us. to respondd continue as you did on prprimary night, this, well, the final results are not in but it looks like you have such a major lead right now. what do you think it it? >> we connnnted with the peoplee vevery early on in this campaig. all people, , not just a small segment of t the district. we went to o co-op city, we went to gun help p projects. we cononnected with those who hd and mostly disenfranchisised ignored by cumbersome e and p pe in our pololical system for decades. we wanted to connect with them first. we did not just target them who consistently vote inin primarie, we t targeted everyone.. those who are registere

think the problem for donald trump right now, is that the democrats -- you know, as you see with aoc, they're starting to embody that themselves. so when congresswoman ocasio-cortez speaks, even if you don't like her politics, we've all been through so much you identify with that. you want to defend her. you want to come out and support her. i think that is going to be very motivating for women in this country. it will motivate republican women to stay home. it will motivate independent women and democratic women to come out. and given how narrow the president's wins were in 2016, he just, as michael steele said, he doesn't have room for error. it's hard to see how you're putting together a winning coalition at this point. i would also just add that states like michigan -- michigan has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. there were only 10,000 votes that separated the candidate last time. so i actually already think that the president was going to have a hard time there, but the pandemic has just been the nail in the coffin. >> michael steele, i want to ask you about normal times. in 100 days i think normalcy is on the ballot, too. do we want to live in a

donald trump is putting people in jail based on their first amendment free speech. no surprise to you, we want to turn to an important and many say disturbing story on capitol hill. congresswoman alexandria cortez said it was a blatant sexist and vile attack from a republican congressman. >> in front of reporters, the representative called me, and i quote, a [ bleep ]. i could not allow my nieces, i could not allow the little girls that i go home to, i could not allow victims of verbal abuse and worse, to see that to see that excuse. to see our congress accept it. >> i can tell you that first hand. they've called me names for at least 20 years of leadership, 18 years of leadership. >> the congresswoman making the point to go to the floor. the speaker clearly backing her up. both of them spoke about why this is larger than one set of words or a political feud. do you agree with their emphasis on that? what do you want viewers to know about this incident that is clearly rising tensions on the hill? >> today, on my remarks today, i focused on bringing attention to that larger problem. women experience this as girls. in playgrounds, the workplace and now we're experiencing it in congress. it is one

he says we are going to beat donald trump in when we do he won't just rebuild this nation, we will transform it. let's bring in steve cortezmerican for spokesman, what does joe biden mean by transform? >> i think it's important, we should quote, when somebody tells you who they are, believe them the first time, in the case of joe biden the corporate medir centrist candidate, he is not and we know that by his own words, he has told us who he is. i'll give you specific examples, he has promised for example that he will make all illegal migrants in the united states tens of millions. this in two, he will give anna stevens citizenship and voting rights to them and he also further promises that taxpayer-funded healthcare will be provided to any and all illegal aliens in the united states, a couple of other examples he promises better overwork the fake hispanic congressman from texas the gun grabbing radical will be in charge of gun policy and is a administration and in a similar way he pledges the alexandria cause you cortez of the so-called squad, i call them the socialist spice girl that she will be in charge of implementing

ocasio-cortez is running the campaign, elizabeth warren is running the campaign, black lives matter is running the campaign. the fact of the matter is, joe biden is the worst opponent for donald trump. he's not someone that trump can paint easily as the other. and joe biden, a conservative white guy is just a very difficult opponent for donald trump to get a bead on, which is why you have the coded, unsubtle but not particularly effective kind of campaign events. we'll see it i think going forward because they still don't have a way of handling joe biden that the president feels comfortable with and you see it every time they do one of these events. this was another example. >> 100%. >>> up next we'll talk to the chief medical officer of the university of miami health system about the issues facing south florida from staffing and hospital capacity to possible drug shortages, it is a mess there. >>> plus the legal showdown in georgia after the governor files a lawsuit to block atlanta from the use of face masks. you're watching "morning joe" we'll be right back. u're watchi we'll be right back. come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wit
