washington, d.c., mirror muriel bowser arrived underscore that point. is falling apart right now literally. then there? for centuries 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. >> tucke

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

the mayor of washington calleded muriel bowser made all of thisen possible. she's been on the mob side since the first day. she allowed the mob to harass and terrify elderly taxpayers as they walked on city streets they pay for. watch this. the that cops didn't protect these people. muriel bowser will with them protect these people. she won't let them do their jobs. law enforcement in washington dc is in so many places controlled by the democratic party has been completely politicized just as it is in the third world. if you don't vote the right way if you don't vote for them, you don't get police protection. the mob is allowed to hurt you. last night things fell outside so quickly outside the white house that rand paul and his wife kelly into their friends were told to get on a bus and leave the immediate area. this interplay instigates and we were back to his hotel paired the streets are blocked and no one would let them through. that's when rand paul was attacked along with the officers protecting him. could get these people are not only violence, they're

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

and with kamala, they will hire a great team and turn initiatives into action. >> mayor muriel bowsern't have time to go deep into any one of these things so i hope we can use this as a starting point. thank you. so for spending some time with us. when we come back, remembering lives well lived. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. accident forgiveness saturpain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. start your day with secret. secret stops sweat 3x more than ordinary antiperspirants. with secret, you're unstoppable. no sweat! try it and love it or get your money back. - i'm szasz.

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. >> hello. i'm muriel bowser, mayor of washington, d.c.orial. it was here that millions of women and men flooded the streets for the women's march. it was here that just weeks ago americans donned face masks and safely and peacefully protested the death of george floyd. but while we were peacefully protesting, donald trump was plotting. he stood in front of our most treasured houses of worship and held a bible for a photo op. he sent troops in camouflage into our streets. he 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 your town, and that's when i said enough. i said enough for every black and brown american who has experienced injustice, enough for every american who believes in justice. but 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 american where she's safe behind the doors of her own home, an america where the president doesn't fan the flames of racism

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

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

york 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

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

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
