. >> sephora says it will dedicate 15% of shelf space to black-owned companies. do you think that other retailers should follow that lead? >> i think a lot of brands should think about why only 15%? you know, in a world where when i think about folks of color being the majority of this country in 20, 30 years, why not kind of push for that future, right? who's to say that our cap is only 15%? i think it is a wonderful start, but, you know, should we be asking can half of our store represent the needs for this growing audience? can more than half of this store represent the need for this growing audience? it's important that we have some of that bold thinking so that we can really push the envelope in orders of magnitude with what we all expect. but it's a great start and i hope to see more of it. >> that bold thinking is one of the reasons that you're a successful entrepreneur. but tell us about the challenges that you faced as a black founder when you first started your business. >> yeah, no, thank you, rachel. the one thing that i say all the time is, you know,

for example, let's take a look at sephora. they just announced they have signed the 15% pledge.15% of their products and make sure 15% at least are from black-owned businesses. now, the idea here came from a woman in new york named aurora james. she wanted more companies to make a change that would actually have a larger, long-term impact on things. so sephora is now saying they plan to look at what's on their shelves and their online offerings and assess it and take action on what they currently have available here. the executive says they're doing it not just to show support in this moment but also fundamentally change the supply chain to be more inclusive of black-owned businesses and black voices and also, you know, reshaping the beauty industry, which as we know has been very white for a long time. now, we're also seeing a ground swell of support on social media. you've probably seen it, the #sharethemicnow. you have powerful white women with big followings sharing their social media platforms with black women. can you see hillary clinton is doing it, sharing her floplatfo

i'm standing right now in front of sephora, a brick and mortar store. crucial for the beauty industry. brick and mortar. why? because people like to go into stores and test out the products. they put on a little red lipstick, put on some foundation, then they buy. according to mckenzie, all of these in-store purchases account for 85% of the total purchase pot. the fact that people are going into stores right now, that means inventory's up so there's a lot of good deals online. nonetheless, the online sales are still not offsetting the drop in sales in the stores like the sephora behind me. that doesn't mean there aren't some big deals going on in the beauty industry. there's a conglomerate called coty that just announced they are buying one-fifth of kim kardashian west's makeup company, kkw. she started this company only three years ago and with this new purchase, it's valued at over roughly $1 billion. this is the same company, coty, if it sounds familiar, they bought a majority stake in kylie jenner's beauty company as well, kim kardashian's half sist

we have seen a sephora store, sprint store. a staple's store on my way in to midtown. this was a pretty violent night for police officers as well. as you mentioned, several attacks on officers caught on video. in the bronx dramatic video showing a sergeant struck by a black sedan near the call of a possible break-in. he is in serious but stable condition. the people in that car unfortunately got away. another officer beat up on the street in plain view and in buffalo, a somebody is in custody this morning after a police officer and a state trooper there were hit by a car. they are in stable condition. now, back here in new york city. looters as you said really smashing their way through all across midtown, manhattan, also on the upper east side. including as you mentioned the macy's flagship store. all of this happening before new york city's curfew went into effect at 11:00. leaders have been trying day after day to send a message to these folks that are up citing violence and ransacks businesses. people they believe are outsiders. one of new york's top cops. chief te

looters ransacked the store and smash their way through multiple other stores across manhattan, like sephora, foot locker and sprint, including also happening in the bronx where it was a very violent night for police officers. several attacks on those officers caught on video. fact dramatic video shows a sergeant struck by a black sitting on and he is in serious but stable condition. the people in the car got away. another officer was beat up on the street and at buffalo i suspect is in custody this morning after a police officer and a state trooper were hit by a car. both are in stable condition. back in new york city the nypd chief of departments took me with protesters yesterday in washington square park. he believes that these looters are outsiders, listen to what he said. >> get them out of here, protest peacefully. why would anyone break into a story in your neighborhood places that employ the people in this neighborhood. no reason for it, it has to end. let new york show the country, i was this done? >> some new information just coming in, the nypd officers arrested 200 people, half a

no mac sephora is pledging to give more products to companies. they offer nine black owned brands. the shelf space is typically for products made by black owned companies. they are owned by lv mh, the largest retail goods retailer. >> even if you build it, they may not necessarily come. on august 13, the new york yankees are scheduled to take on the chicago white sox in iowa. it would be the state's first- ever major-league game and be held on the field just a few hundred yards away from where that classic movie was filmed. another are concerns that there still no agreement about restarting the season during the pandemic. >> the field of dreams, i think it's just so poetically represents and embodies everything wholesome about the game of baseball. >> the game in iowa was expected to inject $9 million to the local community including concerts and exhibits, although baseball owners and players to screen salaries, there will indeed be a season this year. >>> 8:50. the tech reckoning out the door. at the very tail end of a very light friday commute. >> that is right. we are doing very

in the middle of the night somebody showed up in my building that appeared from sephora break-in tryingo sell stolen merchandise to the people who work in the building. by the time i came to work at 3:00 o'clock this morning, 4:00 o'clock, the times square was under lockdown, you couldn't even drive down the streets coming into new york, but what this means is not just for new york city, not just new york state, it's failure of government, by the governor, the mayor of the city but also will mean a much slower comeback for the broad economy. before, over the weekend, there were moving trucks on every single street in new york at the end of the month. we are doomed for a downward spiral in major cities because people don't want to live there because the government can't protect its citizens which is the most basic right, protect the residents which is the most basic right of living in america. maria: 11:00 o'clock curfew in, 11:00 o'clock. that seems really late. what did you all think of the president's walk-through through lafayette park going to church yesterday and made gesture by ag

even taken it upon themselves to start painting the wooden -- or the plywood on their stores like sephoramore aesthetically pleasing so it doesn't look like they will take these boards down any time soon, despite the fact that phase one has started. there is reopening here in new york. that means retailers, construction sites, agriculture companies as well as manufacturers can start opening their doors. retailers can only do curbside pickup and in-store purchases but a lot of people in new york city are waiting because they are a little concerned people aren't willing to go shopping just yet. we are seeing traffic in the street. i spoke to one small business owner who has a custom clothing business and she said that prior to the lockdown, business is booming but then the moment the lockdown hit and the protests, everything tapered off, so she's concerned about the future of her business, especially if people don't go shopping. listen in. >> it's been frustrating. it's been frustrating. i found myself just constantly thinking about it and for business being not good, when you know, busines

ulta and sephora also delaying some of their reopening. it's two things. yes, the protests and the lootings but it's new york city curbside pickup which you do in the suburbs much easier, you just pull into the parking lot, they come out and hand you your items. that's not as easy in new york city, because you rely on public transportation for the most part. stuart: you got that right. now then, what we're looking at is a whopping great big rally pretty much across the board. there are a couple of exceptions. it's a rally because we had a really surprising jobs report early this morning. new jobs created by the million. the unemployment rate dropped to 13.3%. nobody was expecting that. now, literally in five or six minutes' time, we are going to be seeing the president of the united states hold a news conference on those jobs numbers. i don't blame him. these are sensational numbers. i want to get more on these -- i have given the broad picture jobs numbers. actually, jobs created, the unemployment rate down. but edward lawrence, come back again with those
