mitch mcconnell that seat open. i do think that is the way of deterring future mitch mcconnell's from pulling the same kind of stuff, should you do that they won't get away with the long-term. we will balance that out. then the second thing is, and i really believe this, though we know what's pretty, my view is if you commit a crime to win the presidency which thankfully doesn't come up often but if you commit a crime to win the presidency, we should be able to do something about the judges that will last for life because if we do something with the president we can go out or put r impeach the judges on the bench for life. i think the fact president of trump seems likely he committed crimes in order to win his office, that should change how we view the judges on the regardless whether they are principle or not and how they rule, the fact that they are only there because of movies and affects everything they do. whether or not they wanted to. >> host: thanks. super interesting stuff. the last question is from heather

and this is all by the way i believe this is firmly all mitch mcconnell's doing mitch mcconnell is pushing these judges through at an alarming rate because chuck schumer worked out deals with them and said we'll let you do these judges if you give us ok let me tell let me tell the back story here this is what everybody misses it was the democrats. the did away with the 60 vote margin right you understand that the democrats did that and when they did it everybody was saying you idiots don't you understand this is going to be turned around you idiots and if you do this we're going to see it rise up in the future and that's what's happening and so the democrats are going to say oh my god what did we do they're run around like with a hair on fire the truth is they created this atmosphere this allowed all this to happen mitch mcconnell the turtle man i can tell you his goal is a point young people 3035 year old they're going to be there their entire career most of which have very little judiciary background they have very little capabilities they you know when you take a look at a most of these

by 50 to 75 percent with another rent payment due in just 24 hours so while mitch mcconnell is resting his corporate job on a mint julep in his old kentucky home reveling in the true art of irresponsibility the new york times is reporting 'd that almost 40000000 people do not expect to be able to make their next rent or mortgage payment almost 30000000 americans said they did not have enough to eat during the week ending of july 21st and that according to ernie to be chic and an economist at every core i.s.i. failing to resume the federal unemployment payments would cause a drop in consumer spending large enough to eliminate about 1700000 jobs. that my friends are job losses on par with what we saw during the recessions of the early 1990 s. and the early 2000. so please enjoy that jewel upon us mitch while the rest of us take responsibility seriously and start watching the hawks if you want to know what's going on on a city street you want to see it is so you like to see the rises you always state see you rolls royce gracie displays systemic deception is the late show which would be so

>> another mistake by mitch mcconnell.he president's approval rating is going on the way up because people approve of the job he's doing both on the economy and his response to the lawlessness on the streets. i think there's another thing going on, lou, and that is the social desirability bias, that's what the pollsters call it. trump has always performed less well in the polls than he does in the election because some people think that the desirable answer is not to say you're it voting for -- voting for trump. in addition to the fact that more people approve, he's going to have an even bigger boost on election day because of those people who are not telling the pollsters they are trump voters or will be trump voters. plus there's the enthusiasm gap. i think this looks great for the president. lou: and you, obviously, are a strong trump supporter. you were considered for a number of posts. tell us where you are in the race, the primary race for the senate running against a mitch mcconnell-designated candidate. an establis

that is roughly where mitch mcconnell's head is at. it will be tough to get there.very guest we have on talks about stimulus. i have been asking this question to kind of get a gauge about where we stand within small businesses. it has been tough to get workers back to work because they are incentivized to stay home given that many make war on $600 per week -- make more on $600 per week than $200 per week or so. what is your research telling versusut $600 per week $200 per week, or let's say in the middle. there is a political challenge here because democrats are saying, you have people who are still unemployed, we need to support them. the republicans are making a more nuanced argument, saying they want to support them but make a pathway back to work. that is not a campaign slogan you can put on a bumper sticker. substantively, i think republicans' heads are in the right place, can we transition down to an amount that will force states to put in place a more sophisticated unemployment system, that is hard to explain. republicans may be pressured into accepting more

mitch mcconnell has been around so long, but he hasn't done for kentucky what kentucky needs. a lot of people get that. they say what good is a powerful senator if he doesn't use that power for us. even before coronavirus we had real problems in kentucky. we have the highest cancer rates in the country, highest rates of diabetes. we have people that can't afford health care. 40% of people from kentucky have filed for unemployment in the last few months. people are saying what good is this guy? we need new leaders. i hear that over and over. that's what gives me hope. we have to have a message that we have common sense people to take over, move our country in the right direction and move kentucky in a direction we really need. >> amy, as you know mitch mcconnell has marched in lock step with donald trump and your rising standing in polls is tracking with donald trump's plunging in the polls. i ha where do you come down on this debate that donald trump has injected himself in the middle of forcing schools to open regardless of where the virus is in the country? >> i think people

. >> the honorable mitch mcconnell, majority leader of the united states senate. >> please be seated. in his memoirs, john lewis described a child hood home that was quite different from the place he lies today. that farm house in pike county, alabama had no running water or electricity. it stood on the first land his father's family had ever owned in a part of the country where segregation had led to almost total isolation along racial lines. it would have been hard to conceive back then that the young child tending his family's chickens would, by age 23, be leading the movement to redeem american society. that he'd be addressing hundreds of thousands of civil rights marchers from the steps of the lincoln memorial. i was lucky enough to be there that day. i marveled at the massive crowds. the site gave me hope for our country that what john's doing, even on that day, as his voice echoed across the mall, i wondered how many dared imagine that young man would come to walk the halls of congress. america's original sin of slavery was allowed to fester for far too long. it left a long wak

for mitch mcconnell, let them eat cake. let them eat cake. so people can't feed their kids, people are losing their homes, they are getting kicked out of their apartments, small businesses going under, and the republican response -- let the meat cake. i have a suggestion -- let them eat cake. i have a suggestion to mcconnell. instead of calling our plan a socialist manifesto, how about senate republicans and mitch mcconnell get their act together, roll up their sleeves and get to real work in helping us solve these problems. we want to get something done. see the urgency of this crisis. with so many small business people who struggled for years losing their businesses, of hard-working people being thrown off the job through no fault of their own. people can't feed their kids. people getting evicted from their homes, and so much more. we want to get something done. americans cannot afford anymore republicand right ideology. we are going to keep negotiating, meeting today with speaker pelosi, secretary mnuchin, and mr. meadows. mcconnell doesn'

senate majority leader mitch mcconnell.w is kristen clark, president and executive director of the lawyers committee for civil rights under law. good to have you here, especially the day after congressman lewis was honored in that way. and president obama obviously went there at the funeral because the fight for voting rights was indeed the centerpiece of so much of john lewis's life's work. what's your take on mitch mcconnell's refusal to move that bill? >> it's a tremendous travesty. you know, the supreme court issued a devastating ruling in 2013 that cut out the heart of the voting rights act, a provision that required states with long histories of voting discrimination to get federal review of those changes before they could be put in place. and for seven years congressman lewis fought tooth and nail to get congress to restore the voting rights act. the supreme court literally put the ball in congress's court. and the effort has stalled. and the effort has stalled under the watch of mitch mcconnell. congress -- the hous

mitch mcconnell said he wanted to look at things in july.t wasn't until july 26 it occurred to him that there is no longer -- he said on july 26 that we will look again in july and make a decision about what we need to do. days --uly 26, four five days before all of these benefits expire. i don't get it. host: we go to steve in noblesville, indiana. a democratic color. caller:-- caller. caller: i have a comment. mitch mcconnell is a multimillionaire. he doesn't care about the regular people. if we were giving trillions of dollars to the billionaires, he would be fine about it. got to, you know, say no, we can't afford it. it is baloney. the caller makes a good point. i find fault with the fact that in 2017, mitch mcconnell engineered the tax cut and jobs act of 2017, which had the united states government borrow $2 trillion from our grandchildren and give 83% of the benefits to the top 1%. 83% of the benefits of a $2 .rillion tax cut to the top 1% mitch is upset somebody who works for a living, 40 to 50 hours per week, one out of five or six

that includes senate majority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky. kentucky's governor, andy beshear, will join us this year to discuss how coronavirus is affecting its residents. >>> also president trump has been leading coronavirus briefings by himself for the last few days. dr. anthony fauci commented on that moments ago. >> the president has gone out there and is saying things now that i think are important, have to do with wearing masks, crowded -- staying away from crowded places. so i think that they have been helpful now. and also, they've been short and crisp, which i think is good when you're trying to get a message across. >> so far there's no word on the next white house coronavirus briefing. president trump will spend this sunny weekend at his golf club in new jersey. he heads there today. president trump has been leading the briefings himself lately with no other speakers. the president remains focused on getting kids back to school at school, on campus. last night the cdc released extensive new guidelines for schools to handle reopenin

that's the hurdle that mitch mcconnell and republican leaders have tried to get over. they are straddling that divide between camps. president trump for the white house has made some demands that were not palatable even to senate republicans so that to jump those girls as well. we are expecting to see their counterproposal to date in the range of about $1 trillion. >> host: and what will happen next? >> guest: again there's no indication that mcconnell can pass this even through the senate. in fact, he almost certainly can't. not only does have those conservatives who don't want to pass a trillion dollars and they would probably vote against this package but then of course the democrats to a filibuster power think it is woefully inadequate. the house bill that nancy pelosi bill that passed in may is $3.4 trillion. so this enormous divide just in the size of what is needed here and that doesn't even get into all the details of the different provisions that the two sides want. you were just talking to callers about the unemployment benefit and that is going to be one of

and mitch mcconnell has to be more than -- democrats on the proposal.icans are opposed to $12 million measure that calls for reducing unemployment benefits and sending $1200 checks to most americans. there is another key provision for mitch mcconnell, liability protections for companies and organizations. >> let me make it clear that there will not be a bill that passes through the senate that does not have this and it. -- in it. there have already been 3500 lawsuits filed. the country cannot stand an epidemic of losses on the field of the pandemic. ritika: global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm ritika gupta. this is bloomberg. alix: speaker nancy pelosi called with the deal but that it. thebig fight ahead is that gop's push for protection against coronavirus infection lawsuits and businesses. joining us with a breakdown in .is sarah bianchi what are the chances we get a deal by the end of next week? sarah: i think that we are heading into next week

kristen welker the president in the oval office with mitch mcconnell and mccarthy the republican leaders not negotiating with democrats but negotiating with the white house to try to, i guess, walk the president back from saying that they wouldn't put in money for more testing >> reporter: that's right. this is a remarkable split between the white house and republicans effectively the white house trying to block money for the cdc, for more testing, to are more contact tracing. they are making a number of arguments including that, look, some of these funds need to be better allocated but republicans say, no. we need more money that's to say nothing of the sticking points that exist between republicans and democrats. so bottom line, andrea, there's a lot of pressure to get something done, to get legislation passed, relief legislation particularly with the november election looming. president trump also making big headlines by announcing, as you pointed out at the top, he plans to bring back those it 5:00 p.m. briefings on coronavirus now, i have been told this is going to be a mixture of n

the real comnge -- challenge is mitch mcconnell a mcconnell set a hard cap at one trillion.he last time i checked in with someone close to mcconnell, they said that still stands. i don't know if that's sustainable. i think they'llmo have to g than that because it looks like a bumpy road to november. we have had some of the mos powerful economic states like texas and califora haveo retreat a little from their reopening. so that surely has to change the calculations. robert: never forget about mitch mcconnell, good advice for all of us reporters because he is a factor, congress is a factor. that reminds me that the esident this week is also facing incoming on national security. according to the "times," russia offered bounties to the taliban to kill american and coalition troops in afghanistan. "the times" reported that the intelligence was part of the president's daily briefingn document february. the president has lashed out in response calling the suggestion that he ignored russian threats, claiming they were a hoax, sayingffhat someials did not find the statements credible

including mitch mcconnell. >> never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions, and the civil war, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time and we'll find a way to do that again this november 3rd.

they could diminish competition for the presidents hotel and in any event i don't even think mitch mcconnell knew that was in the bill but in any event who knows his right. in any event they have something in there like a tax credit for expensive dinners and lunches but no money for food stamps or nutrition assistance initiatives. here's the thing. right now we're at the time when children are food insecure inour country . people are hungry who never thought they would go to a food bank . people are on the verge of eviction as they can't pay the rent. they've lost their jobs through no fault of their own and again, families can't pay the rent and they are resenting the fact that people are getting $600 which was helping tokeep them out of poverty and make ends meet . with all of that happening, people in our country, these are the american people. they just waited 10 weeks, almost 2 and half months. they put it all on pause as if hunger could be paused and rent could be pause and needing money in their pockets so that people could make ends meet would be paused but it wasn't. now they come b

senate republican leader mitch mcconnell insists that businesses, schools, and other organizations protect the bits -- organizations be protected against coronavirus lawsuits. he says changes to liability laws should be included wholesale in legislation. speaker pelosi says that shows he is not serious about reaching a deal. federal reserve policy makers will turn their attention on how

he is anti-democracy. >> there's more that mitch mcconnell said today.so said -- >> what's your reaction to that? >> a couple of things. the first point is the extent that african-americans turn out is by our own doing, certainly not because that the elections have been free or fair. part of that is about work and the way that african-americans have been consistent around fighting for democracy and making sure our vote is heard. secondly, he obviously didn't go to his own state in kentucky, of which i was there in his state on election day a couple of weeks ago, where the first one of the first voters we ran into was a man who had voted in 40 different elections. he was not -- he received a letter on that day, that morning on election day that said that he was registered as a republican, and so he was not allowed to vote in the democratic primary. and he says there were 13 other people who had the same experience that morning of. so obviously, he's not aware of what's happening in his own state, being the same state that had one polling site for over 612

we need a post mitch mcconnell republican party.tionist to the obama administration and everything they tried to do so i'm glad that they're trying to ensure that the senate -- that we get rid of mitch mcconnell and the senate. that's important. i think there are trust issues but i will say that every campaign we have worked on, we had a back of republicans that would back our candidate. that's not uncommon in campaigns even for very progressive candidates as well. so i'm not -- i don't think this is something that's unheard of for one thing. it's something that does happen, during campaigns. i will say this. i think that what we need to focus on is where the democratic party is going. and if people want to get on board with that, that's great. but i think the party needs to stay focused on people say we're moving to the left. i say we're moving towards greater equity. and so i think we need to focus on equity and inclusion and continue to have the party evolve that way. whoever is on the that train we welcome you on that train but

because it mitch mcconnell said it "could" lead to changing the name of some of the bases.ator cotton, i believe it was, on earlier today saying that this would involve changing all kinds of names, including desecrating some graves. what are your thoughts? >> first off, i don't think there is any reason for a modern-day conservative to harbor any affinity for any confederate names. i think it's entirely appropriate for society as time goes by to reassess that we use to honor. as long as it doesn't come from the hands of a mob, but if it comes from an orderly process such as a commission that would take a look at the names of bases on the side of the names should be changed, which happens from time to time, it's entirely appropriate. conservatives should not stand in the way of that. i just don't understand why we are honoring anybody confederate. they should be known in history, and in many places there should be modern statues put up, and if a statute comes down, it should never be at the hands of a mob. it should be through an orderly process. look what mississippi just d

i've been very critical not only of the federal response but also mitch mcconnell.telligence briefings he knew about this when is the first time he said anything about coronavirus it wasn't until the stock market crashed. all along he's been chmpg bampi big business, bailouts, leaving the every day behind adding responsibility to this. to my fellow kentuckians, look around are things getting better? under this man so many problems in the past now exacerbated by coronavirus. today kentucky had the most cases we have seen throughout this entire pandemic just today. so i'm very concerned, my neighbors are concerned. we've got to get this under control from a national perspective and we have not had the leadership doing that? >> does the president share that blame? i hear what you're saying about mitch mcconnell. how would you grade the president? >> absolutely. the president, the buck stops with him, or it should be, right? that's what a president should be doing unfortunately we haven't had a president that stood up and taken on this responsibility he pushed it down t

. >> the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said today that russia should, quote from absolutely must be allowed into the summit. this president trumps agree? >> i haven't spoken on this matter but he agrees many diplomatic relationships with the top economies of the world but there's been no one has bees been tougher on russia than this president. i went through several of those actions. i would also note when it comes to asking on the viable actual credit intelligence, there's been no one who has acted more forcefully than this president. he has a track record of that and has made protecting the troops overseas his highest and strongest priority. in the 6,000 deaths and with other improvised explosive devices and [inaudible] and other attacks in iraq, this is what was done to the american troops. we had president bush declined to strike when he was in the crosshairs according to "the new york times." we had obama and biden who never made an effort to strike. but when he had actionable intelligence to protect american troops, he took that option. he was criticized by democrats a

what mitch mcconnell is now saying tonight. joe biden had warned the president would try to do this. >>> millions of american families in need tonight. the new numbers. the economy shrinking by the largest margin since records were kept before world war ii. and with benefits now expiring, tonight, the scramble on capitol hill. the vote late today, but is it too little, too late? mary bruce on where this stands right now. >>> the coronavirus. deaths rising in 32 states. florida tonight reporting its deadliest 24 hours yet. ohio with a record number of new cases. and the new images tonight from. >>> we have also learned this evening former presidential candidate herman cain has died from coronavirus. some of the last images of him in public at the president's tulsa rally with no mask. president trump offering words of comfort tonight. >>> we're tracking that tropical storm and now, is there a hurricane brewing for the east? the storm slamming parts of puerto rico. more than 400,000 without power. and now, the new track. could it

you have mitch mcconnell wearing a mask in a video. as far as we can tell, they have not agreed on even what would be in their version of a bill and they're rejecting the democrats' bill to try to alleviate the economic torture on americans right now. what is going on up there? >> first of all, good evening, joy. it's great to be on and congratulations on your show. >> thank you. >> we all are looking forward to great things that will come from you during the 7:00 hour. mitch mcconnell's response is consistent with president trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic. he's been stumbling, fumbling, and bumbling. and that is what thez done from the very beginning. we have a situation right now where you have more than 150,000 americans who have died, more than 4 million americans have been infected, more than 5 million americans have lost their employer-based health care. more than 100,000 small businesses have permanently closed. and more than 50 million americans are newly unemployed. we passed a heroes act, a comprehensive response

now, this bill has been sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk for over 200 years and you don't always seets jump and get aggressive on something like this they're calling out republicans right now. they are saying, if you want to honor this man, the conversation we're having tonight and that's been had over this weekend, then you do that by actually acting and holding the vote on this and if you are against the voting rights act, hold the vote and vote against it. all of this happens as tens of millions of people are walking off their jobs with blm, strike for black lives in 25 cities, including in front of the trump tower in new york city to highlight the inequality and systemic racism that john lewis both fought over the course of his life and helped set back leading to real progress now, with all of that in mind, we want to bring in marc morial and congressman karen bass, chair of the congressional black caucus thanks to both of you for joining us good evening to you. congresswoman, your thoughts -- thank you to both you've we're on a slight tape delay, but thank you to both of you i w

right now, as off, mitch mcconnell plays this game better than anyone. he's really taken a step back. he said this is more of a discussion between the white house and house democrats. and he's really letting them do that now, of course, i believe at the end of the day, mitch mcconnell will come in as he often does at the end and try to cobble together some kind of a deal. >> he needs the numbers, and right now, he may be lacking in numbers there. let me go down to texas where morgan chesky is following the president. you know, morgan, if i said during the pandemic that the president was going to texas, one would assume, well, he must be checking in. texas is a hot spot. how are they doing? but this is not a coronavirus trip. tell us what this trip is about, morgan. >> yeah, chuck, not officially a coronavirus trip. the president did acknowledge it briefly during remarks he made to a tour, to a tour do an oil rig site he made a short time ago, but really the purpose of the trip to west texas was for the peds to try to get fresh funding into the campaign.

mitch mcconnell and donald trump knew they had to go through nancy pelosi and house democrats. was campaign to make sure we could flip that house last cycle. senator markey literally went nowhere. this medicine because you collect frequent flyer miles but if you believe in the change when you get to go out and fight for it. >> moderator: want to switch focus to we want to turn to the topic of police reform and social justice. both of you gone , record is a k lives matter. but specifically look at your actions per give us specifics of what you done and what you will do to show that black lives matter. this is for both the you. 60 seconds, first you senator markey. markey: thank you. well, when i was a state legislator in the '70s there was no black senate seat in massachusetts. i had to make a a decision to e on the democratic state leadership to make sure there was a black senate seat and they did. it hurt my career but that's why bill owens who became that first black state senator from massachusetts his endorsement and doors monday the led the effort in the house of represent

that's what the mitch mcconnell proposal says. you get 70% of replacements. if democrats are is going to insist on 600 then return to work bonus has to be put in place. people can take $450 out of the 600 back to work during six week period otherwise you're encouraging more unemployment and that's not what anybody wants my hope is we can go with the more sensible approach which is to say okay there should be a federal supplement, should be significant and it is the mitch mcconnell proposal you know the past couple of weeks i've been around the state of ohio and talking to businesses and small businesses. you see employers who are looking for hundreds sometimes over 1,000 employees forward motor company is showing 25% absebe absenteeism on this. they can't get people back to work and they need the workers right now. this is a problem that's across the board. anybody who is back home listening to their constituents and hearing it, again this is not good for workers, not good for small businesses tore economy. >> i hear you, but where would you place the odds in

mitch mcconnell said he only wants to keep it under $1 trillion.e somewhere in between there, but this is going to be a defining moment for the summer. and trump has shown every indication to spend, spend, spend, and he's not concerned about debts or deficits, as republicans traditionally have been. up to this point, they've given enough room, so we'll see how this plays out, but private data not overwhelmingly positive. >> it's interesting, hans, because congress already seems late to the game here for a phase four. scientists and doctors have been predicting how long this pandemic is going to last for quite some time, since the beginning of it, that it would last possibly until next summer. so, fact that they haven't already come up with a plan, a phase four, to keep money in the pockets of americans and small businesses throughout this country, is mind-boggling to me, to not understand that we weren't going to have a v-shaped recovery from all of this, considering so many people are jobless right now. >> yeah, so last month, house democrats put

mitch mcconnell says he might be willing to put up on it or that. you come to terms on that at least? speaker pelosi: in the heroes act we have a $100 billion education stabilization fund specifically for the coronavirus, much of it for elementary, k-12, some for higher education. again, we want all of the testing and tracing, etc., but you have to have the distancing. if you are going to be six feet apart, which you must, you need more space, and more teachers, you need to pay attention to the ventilation system in the schools. testing teachers, custodians, and others. instead of the president threatening to withhold money from schools that don't open, he should be granting money to schools so they can open. our share of education is small, less than 10%. most of the money is funded by state and local governments. that is why we have in the heroes act the state and local governments act giving almost actually in dollars so that state and local governments can recover from the outlays may have made from the coronavirus, as well as the revenue lost b

bill has been sitting on mitch mcconnell's death since then. is now the time to push that through considering the passing of john lewis? >> absolutely. i don't understand how you can be an elected official in this country and give your sympathies for the passing of this great american and yet not work to restore the voting rights act to the fulls than he fought for. john lewis nearly died on that edmund pettus bridge in selma marching for the key linchpin to citizenship in this country, which is the franchise. and so the fact that this bill has been sitting there for two years and has not been able to move forward, if we truly want to honor this man and if we truly want to honor our country, a democracy, then we need to be passing this bill and restoring that's rights and you cannot take seriously anyone who expresses condolences for john lewis if they're not willing to support the bill he fought for. >> jon meacham, what was it like to spend time with john lewis? what was it like to spend time with a man who put his life on the line? what drov

does mitch mcconnell care about that? does the republicans care about having a home in the middle of all this? at the end of the week the additional $600 for people who are on unemployment goes away. that is about 60% of the income of the people, the millions of people getting help right now through unemployment insurance. it goes away. 60%. this mitch mcconnell care about that? do republicans care about that? so far they're just turning their backs. every single day moms and dads, i am worried whether or not my grandkids can go back to school safely. whether or not members of my family who are teachers will be able to be in the classroom. will they be able to teach and be safe? and the clock is ticking. a lot of schools go back in august. so far we have nothing coming from republicans. they are talking about it but schools are having to make decisions, parents are making decisions about what's going to happen. when are they going to act? they are just turning their backs on them. that goes for food assistance, state and

lindsey graham is in a tight race, mitch mcconnell could be in a tight race, arizona is up for grabs, hopefully georgia will come through. it's really imperative americans come up with a voting plan, make sure they are registered to str vote. if we look at organizations like fair fight that are trying to help not just black people but americans make sure that they have their proper right to vote, i think that is of the utmost importance because the president has already said that he wants foreign interference to help him win this election and there's a certain level of calm that republicans have when it comes to november 3rd where we know they're going to try and disenfranchise americans. so we have to put pressure on our senators to hopefully make sure we get democrats in at all levels, make sure that joe biden is successful but also making sure that the house remains democratic and that the senate flips over from republican to democrat because that's the only way that this country is going to make some progress and actually save the democracy since we're on a precipice right now. >>

i'm not angry at simply the donald trumps or the mitch mcconnells. what makes me more hurt is that all the good people in this country, all the power that we have, that we haven't used it adequately to preserve the rights that his generation gained that then he had to watch become eroded with the -- with the gutting of the voting rights act in the shelby decision. eroded with state after state from texas to north carolina without even the shame of hiding it in their e-mails as one federal judge said that they were with a surgical precision writing laws to exclude african americans from voting, for him to have to live to see his legacy from my generation that didn't show the same commitment to those principles to preserve it. so now the question is simple before us. is will we be his legacy? will we rise to his example and insist and demand that this country that's still dragging its feet to justice, pick up the pace and join the march and finally make this the nation of liberty and justice for all. >> very well said. senator cory booker, thank you ve

the majority leader mitch mcconnell says potential phase 4 of the bill would be approved this month as donald trump says he will make a statement on minimum wage for american workers in the next two weeks. >> some blockbuster fundraising in the 2020 race for the white house, joe biden and the dnc bringing in a record $141 million with a total of $282 million the last quarter, biden's fundraising -- the president of the republican committee raking in $131 million in june with a total of $266 million for the quarter. i don't know what i love most about the next story, place your bets on the nathan hotdog eating contest, teaming up with draft king to allow betting on the fourth of july commission. jillian: gaming officials in new jersey and colorado allowing legal sports books to take wages, joe which is that is favored when other men's i while 6-time champ nikki pseudo-is the favorite among the women. i don't know, not for me. >> it is gross. it is gross. it is. >> 10 minutes after the hour, police under attack physically and verbally. >> when you can't even read a history book, you shou

stimulus talks about senate majority leader mitch mcconnell later today. joining us now, house speaker nancy pelosi of california great to have you on the show with us. >> speaker pelosi, we're going to talk about that in a moment let's begin by talking about your dear friend john lewis. his passing and, i think john would say more importantly, the voting rights act that you all passed last year, that continues to languish in the united states senate >> that would be the appropriate way to honor john lewis is for the senate to take up the voting rights act and name it for john lewis. when we passed it before, we were in the minority, but we were able to write the bill and john lewis was very much a part of that. and i remind that at that time unanimous was in the senate. we had, perhaps, around 400 votes in the house very bipartisan. we all walked down the steps of the capitol together, that it should be so difficult for them to take up the voting rights act is really hard for them to comprehend, but maybe now they see a path i certainly hope so. >> can yo

so all of a sudden, with trump continuing to tank, mitch mcconnell has to get nervous.t's smart what the lincoln project is doing, because now they're beginning to pivot and connect down ballot to trump in a way that i think is going to make a lot of republican senators nervous. >> cornell, you get the last word, because carlos wins room raider, and he wins it in a walk because he's got the most fabulous outdoor room. thank you both for being here. have a great weekend. >>> still ahead, tax payer dollars intended to help small business owners weather this crisis, but guess who it went to? lobbyists and billionaires? where is the oversight? we'll talk about that after this. we'll talk about that afte this now you can trade stocks and etfs for any amount you choose instead of buying by the share. all with no commissions. stocks by the slice from fidelity. get your slice today. stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... ...with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill... ...can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelli

mitch mcconnell? sludgy the whale, if that doesn't work out? >> melissa: [laughs] >> dagen: they own this. if you own a business in portland or one of these other left-wing cities, my pants would be on fire and i would be yosemite sam, angry as hell that somebody didn't have my back. >> melissa: harris, i don't know the status of this building, if it's open during the day. i don't know how it could be given everything that's going on there. i hope it's not, because we don't want to see anyone he was just trying to do their job have their life at risk, but your thoughts on what's going on here? >> harris: well, you know, i can't speak to this particular building, but i do remember from the hearing yesterday with the attorney general william barr in front of the house judiciary committee, at one point one of the republican lawmakers was thanking him and his people at doj and federal officers. remember, this fell to dhs and doj. thanking them, thanking him for his people on the ground who are having to work among threats, the threat of not knowing

mitch mcconnell, who knows what his plan is. the only job vacancies he wants to fill are jobs in the judiciary. that's the only jobs plan mitch mcconnell has. so it's bizarre to see these people basically wrecking the american economy, wrecking american lives, you know, chris, for the second time in 12 hours a republican president has inherited a growing economy from a democrat, drove it into a ditch and handing it over to a democrat to fix it again. chaos is not a bug, it's a feature. it's a part of who this president is. he can't handle public health crises. he can't handle economic crises. the name trump is a biword for nepotism, corruption and incompetence. just makes no sense. she comes out and says she's fighting with people on twitter today, chris, defending this nonsense. you know, people are pointing out it's bastille day today. it's july 14th. she's being her best marie antoinette impression. let them eat cake. find something new. >> there is this sort of ideological portion to this that i find pretty fascinating, too.

-- >> it's a mean -- >> mitch mcconnell beat -- did mitch mcconnell beat it to death? >> to wear a mask -- what's the point? everyone who gets near him has been tested and nobody gets within six feet of him. >> if i'm just asking if a white house effort to emphasize the importance of mask wearing -- >> you can keep asking it and i won't go there. like we have some important time here together, john. and again, i think -- my job is to do two things. help the president save lives and create jobs. and today i can help save some lives here today by raising the awareness about this medicine. it's $11 for the treatment course you can take at home. remdesivir is $3,000 and you have to stick a needle in your arm for ten days and you have to do it in the hospital setting. both of those drugs are useful, but i think it's important particularly as the cases rise as you pointed out that we at least talk a little bit about that. >> look, i was talking about mask wearing but there's concern on the study there. and we did cover this last week, that show positive results out of hydrox

that enabled us to set the framework of this debate, because mitch mcconnell and donald trump knew theyad to go through nancy pelosi and house democrats. i was out there campaigning to make sure we could put that out last cycle. senator markey literally went nowhere. this matters not because eclectic frequent fire files -- flyer miles, but -- tooya: we want to switch now police reform and social justice. both of you are on the record on black lives matter. give us specifics on what you have done and what you will do to show that black lives matter. this is for both of you, 60 seconds. first to you, senator markey. sen. markey: thank you. well, back when i was a state legislator in the 1970's, there was no black senate seat in massachusetts. and i had to make a decision to take on the democratic state leadership to make sure there was a black senate seat, and i did. and it hurt my career, but that's why bill owens, who became that first black state senator from massachusetts, endorsing me, and the one who led the effort in the house of representatives, that was a tough fight. i'm partner
