i want to speak now about this and other issues from california congresswoman karen bass.or having me on. >> when you look at these numbers here, do you worry that the moment after george floyd's death, that that was more needing than you'd hoped in terms of a moment for change in this country? >> no, actually, as somebody who has worked on this issue for decades, i really think that moment has caused a seismic shift in our country. when we've had past examples overmurdof murders on videos, you never heard people collecting it to systemic racism. i know the polls dipped some but i'm not discouraged by that. i think we have a lot of work that we need to do in showing very specific solutions to police abuse. >> i was going to ask you about that because after george floyd, there was a push for legislation and it stopped, right? as so many things stop in washington between democrats and republicans. it kind of put on the back burner it seems until after the election. did that disappoint you. you're shaking your head. is it possible we'll see something before the election. >> i

i'm going to speak with california congresswoman, karen bass, about race and politics.nd the result of a new cnn poll on racism in america. are people more or less likely, now, to believe it is a major problem in the u.s., today? that's coming up. i'm hector. i'm a delivery operations manager in san diego, california. we've had a ton of obstacles in finding ways to be more sustainable for a big company. we were one of the first stations to pilot a fleet of zero emissions electric vehicles. the amazon vans have a decal that says, "shipment zero." we're striving to deliver a package with zero emissions in to the air. i feel really proud of the impact that has on the environment. but we're always striving to be better. i love being outdoors, running in nature. we have two daughters. i want to do everything i can to protect the environment to make sure they see the same beauty i've seen in nature. my goal is to lead projects that affect the world. i know that to be great requires hard work. ♪ take the good, with the bad ♪ live the life you want to have ♪ ♪ send it off, with

congresswoman karen bass, thank you very much for your time. really appreciate it. over on earth two, at the president's favorite news network, his allies had fawning praise for his performance. >> the gladiator, warrior, fighter in donald trump. this energizer bunny that's ready for battle and combat. >> trump is an apex predator, he's the lion king. >> the kind of guy that goes into the lion's den and comes out with a pelt over his shoulder and his tie straight. >> there's a piece in the daily beast which donald trump's own side called himmer ferial. do you get it? even with donald trump essentially high fiving ultranationalists groups and encouraging them to stand back and stand by, why are these people still defending him if >> what i would say, joy, is stop trying to understand it and stop trying to analyze it. it's not important anymore. we can talk about that later. but right now, in this moment, millions of americans are voting. and there's two sides in this debate. there's an un-american side, and that un-american side is built on a foundation of all of the

"outfront" now, congresswoman karen bass, chairwoman of the congressional black caucus.t see in the confirmation process, president trump is going to get his supreme court justice, his third supreme court justice in four years. but biden is not saying really what he would do about it if elected president. what's behind that strategy? >> well, i think he was pretty clear. i think that the president and the republicans are going to use every minute of the day talking about the supreme court so that they don't have to talk about the 200,000 americans that have died and so that they don't have to talk about one of their major motivations around the court, which is to wipe out the affordable care act while we're in the middle of a pandemic. so, i think it makes perfect sense not to get off track, keep them focused. >> so, senate majority leader chuck schumer said everything is on the table. jerry nadler saying democrats should expand the court, but it is something that is now popular on the left of your party. and might fire up the base. is biden missing an opportunity to do

. >> joining me now, congresswoman karen bass. congresswoman bass, when you heard that, i'm wondering what your reaction was. >> well, i mean, i just thought that it was tragic. it was tragic and it was, also, insulting. the idea that the charge they indicted him for is the bullet went through a building, not her life, losing her life was not indictable. i think that they should have allowed this case to go to trial so that there could have been true justice. but it just reinforces the need for passing legislation because part of the reason why these incidents keep happening is because it's impossible to hold officer officers accountable, until the law is changed. >> the kentucky attorney general said there was not enough evidence to file charges. said he largely agrees with what was announced today. if it is true that what happened to breonna taylor does not warrant homicide charges under current law, what does that say about how the law is written to you? >> that's exactly the point and that's exactly why we need to change the l

. >> joining me now is congresswoman karen bass of california she's chair of the congressional black caucus thank you so much for joining us let me get your reaction there to the threats that we are facing in this election cycle and the persistent claims of fraud coming out from the white house that are unsubstantiated >> i think it's just really sad. he is doing everything he possibly can to frighten, to confuse and to just create dissention before our election we know he'll go to incredible lengths. what was shocking to me was the post office. in the midst of the pandemic, in few days there will be over 200,000 people who died in the pandemic he's so afraid of losing that he wants people to risk their lives or stay home that's the purpose of the dissention he's attempting to sew. >> this morning former dni dan coats wrote an op-ed calling on congress to create a supremely high level bipartisan commission to oversee the election to give americans confidence in the outcome. senator ron johnson heald a closed door hearing saying he'll have former fbi director james comey testify on th

i'm joined by congresswoman karen bass, a mental of the jish committee has worked on these issues fory years. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> we were just discussing this at the top of the show. we've covered this in many different ways. your view as a leader and at times an optimist, a publicly stated optimist. when you see this result today and the larger pattern that we showed in those other cases. >> you know, it is just so painful to see this over and over again, and i just, it adds to the reason why the george floyd justice and policing act would actually provide tools to stop this from happening. so for example, in the bill, we ban no knock warrants as your previous guest said. they are bad for both sides. in a six-year period, 94 civilians were killed during no knock warrants. 13 police officers were killed. and you know of course that they were at the wrong house. so this was bad all the way around. i'm glad that the family was awarded some money in a suit but that does not bring their daughter back. and there is no amount of money that can heal the pain th

. >> well, the congressional black caucus, karen bass was leading the effort in the house on the legislation that they voted on. >> caller: right what i'm saying with this, with so many different things, like banning choke holds. when i was in the academy, they never told me it was illegal. state and federal training, any training we've ever had that we could choke suspects, never. so, for it to be a law to say -- to make it illegal, when was it legal? >> and devin, what do you think about the no knock warrants? >> caller: i think that's a danger. not just for officers, but also for the public. if i come into a residence, and i don't -- yes, they're good for surprises to capture suspects. but on the flip side, that's very harmful to us because if we're going into a situation, you don't know we're coming, if you're a law abiding citizen, we make a mistake by an address, you start opening fire, we're at the wrong house, well, who's fault is that? >> so, devin, from the reports this morning, that the police officers said, according to the warrants, that they did not have the wrong address. that

so did congresswoman karen bass. she wrote the new, the secure police? what was it called? >> george floyd justice in policing act. >> justice in policing. she wrote that bill. it does not defund the cops, and she's the first to tell you that. it redirects so social workers can do social work and policemen can do police work. and i think what vice president biden and congresswoman bass -- who is rumored to be up for the ticket -- i think she did a terrific job of turning it. you just can't let him get any traffic with it. i always want to saw socialism is defined as the government giving things to people, and there's probably no more bigger welfare queen in history than donald j. trump. he's overcharging the secret service for golf carts and for stays at his dopey resort. so i think you have to deflect, but then you have to turn the attack back on trump. >> before we get to some of the questions, and i see them filling up right now, and i'm going to make this quick, you tell democrats how to run on the issues, and you added some ingredients, and i just want to put them out

. >> karen bass responding to the union and the horrific shooting. >> that was horrific that happened gang issue is one that surfaces in the sheriff department every few years. and for the union to say that they don't believe that exists i think is a problem. >> reporter: but they both agree, even the idea of retaliation like this is sickening. >> so, the people, the group that came out here and screamed, we hope you die, that in itself is also pathetic. maybe not as bad as the guy that actually pulled the trig e but it's just as bad. >> reporter: and a long-time compton resident who owns a business here came up to us and said he can't believe anyone would wish for the demise of these two deputies. they are still recovering in the hospital behind me. they are in stable condition. 175,000 dr $175,000 reward is offered for anyone who can give information leading to the arrest of a shooting suspect. >> sara, thank you. i want to go to the los angeles county sheriff, sheriff villanueva. how are the deputies doing? >> they're still in intensive care. they're in stable condition. they're fa

. >> joining me now democratic congresswoman karen bass of california.of the congressional black caucus. congresswoman, thanks so much for joining us. you represent parts of los angeles county. you heard sara talking about tensions between law enforcement and the community. tell us about the bigger issues that need to be addressed here. >> sure, absolutely. well, historically, especially in recent history, there have been a lot of tensions with the sheriff's department. but i have to begin by just saying that my heart goes out to those officers and to their families. >> absolutely. >> and my prayers are absolutely with them. that was horrific that happened. but that gang issue is one that surfaces in the sheriff department every few years, and for the union to say that they don't believe that exists i think is a problem. when there are problems within law enforcement, it's really important for law enforcement officers to come forward and admit it. and so that is a documented, well-documented history with that sheriff's department. every few years they ex

. >> you also have congresswoman karen bass, the chair of the congressional black caucus.ss she in a minority communities are not represented adequately ines vaccine trials. can you talk about what companies need to dou to basically encourage participation, to rectify that? >>ct this is a point that reall troubles me the most. asmo a population scientist wit 18 years of experience carrying out research studies, we do see underrepresentation of minorities in all types of studies and in these vaccine trials. we also know based on our experience with influenza vaccination that blacks, latinx populations, l native americans and some asian subgroups are less likely to be willing to even take a vab seen. so one of the things that is really important is trying to get people involved in our research setting, involved in testing these vaccines so we can ensure that they work in all populations. this is akin to back when we usedba to only test vaccines in men, but we didn't know their effectiveness in women. we need to know the effectiveness of these vaccines in the hardest hit minority commun

and so people who don't want to give her another chance or think they wished it was karen bass or leeor someone else from california it was more progressive, i get it. that is what i hoped as well. it is what most of us who are super progressive would have preferred. still though, i think she is policy wise significantly better than almost anybody in the united states senate, outside perhaps of a birdie may be. and on some issues, she is super sharp. i'm going to give her a chance. but i'm also still going to be a critic. i am not going to stop critiquing her on issues related to palestine. her issues related to medicare for all. i don't even know that i will be endorsing her or joe biden. i will be critiquing -- i will be voting against. and yet i understand people who take either side on that issue. >> something i've decided that you talked about earlier which is if you're not excited about the presidential race, go vote. getting at the ground ballot level paired find out who's running for school board. find out who's running for local school board. who's running pure public transit

host: the congressional black caucus -- karen bass led the effort in the house on the legislation thathey voted on. caller: right. but with so many different things, just like banning chokeholds, when i was in the academy, they never told us, one, that it was illegal. in any of my training, state and federal, any training we ever had, i never heard that we could choke suspects. never. so for it to be a law to make it illegal, when was it illegal? host: what do you think about these no-knock warrants? caller: that is a danger. not just for officers, but also for the public. yes,come into a residence, they are good for surprises to capture suspects, but on the flipside, that is very harmful to us because if we are going into a situation and you don't know we are coming if you are a law-abiding citizen and we make a mistake and you start opening fire and we are at the wrong house whose fault is that? reports thise morning, the police officers said, according to the warrant, that they did not have the wrong address, that was the address that they had the warrant for. how could they have do

representative karen bass, chair of the congressional black caucus wrote an op-ed in the washington post out the nih and pharmaceutical companies for not enrolling enough minorities in late stage covid-19 vaccine trials. want to read you a little bit about what she said. pharmaceutical companies can make it easier for people of caller to enroll in vaccine clinicby -- by extending hours, reimbursing or providing vouchers to help cover transportation costs, and providing consent forms and other materials and make language other than english. researchers must counteract our nation's legacy of medical abuse by being utterly transparent. clearly communicating risks and making sure patients understand how the data collect it is being used. i want you to react to what representative asked says there. second of all, -- representative pastor says there. given the history, how can we ensure that we are safe with any vaccine, and that it is not been experiment onr communities of caller? guest: this is, again, another complex issue that without historical context is hard to discuss. one thing i have

including attempted kidnapping and inciting a ryeo >> former democratic vice presidential contender karen bassthis election. i have gone to kenya. i've gone to zimbabwe, i have been an international observer and i think we could use that here. >> adding she believes republicans cannot be trusted because of their push for "voter suppression." >> a florida condo on the market is a beer lover's dream, check this out the home listed for $100,000 is lined floor to ceiling with stacked cans of budweiser. it took the previous owner 16 years to complete the rather unique decor. it's just outside of west palm beach and budweiser wants to keep it that way. the two-bed, two-bath comes with a fridge full of bud only if the new owner promises not to renovate. ainsley: how many bottles of beer on the wall! >> [laughter] >> are they empty or full? it's a good question. steve: can you imagine how much you could get if you took that house to the recycling center? brian: just take out one the whole thing falls apart. ainsley: what if you accidental like your kid uses the sword and one falls out? brian: most chi
