to survive. >> reporter: how important are the yankees to the south bronx?ere's no yankee baseball, the neighborhood shoeis holding on by its fingernails. >> reporter: this is not what the south bronx normally looks like in the summer. empty shops, restaurants, bars, and an empty stadium. it's supposed to look like this. opening day for the yankees, alone, generates nearly $12 million for new york city. much of it spent right here on river avenue in the shadow of yankee stadium. baseball is set to resume next month but without fans in the stands. >> my guess is that about a third to a half of them aren't going to survive. >> reporter: dugout owner ty robinson says the bar makes nearly 100% of its business during baseball season. which runs april through october. instead of a packed bar of fans, $15,000 worth of spoiled beer sits on the floor. >> just been sitting here. we have plenty more sitting on the floor in the back. and it hurts to see it sitting here. it just really hurts. >> reporter: rents don't come cheap here on river avenue. about $20,000 a month

the south bronx is ground zero for racially concentrated poverty, and the federal government needs to it. >> because you're a city politician, you're very close to the question of schools -- >> yeah. >> -- and kids going back to schools. what can you tell us tonight about new york city's expectation of kids going back to school at the end of august? >> it's unclear. there's been no clear guidance on the mayor and how he's going to proceed. the mayor made a comment that students are not going to return fully to public schools until there's a vaccine. i'm in favor of some return to public schools with staggered schedules. i happen to think that face coverings are more effective than people originally thought. so i would advocate for return to normalcy with proper precautions. >> talk about the disparity between the kids that you represent, many of whom do not have an internet connection so that they can go to school remotely. new york city lost an awful lot of student who's had no connection and ability to get wired in to the remote classroom. >> look, i have -- i represent students who

shown the south bronx to be the essential congressional district.the essential workers who sustain our city and our country. as i said on primary night, the thought of representing the mothers and the essential workers and the incredible people of the south bronx, in my home the bronx, that's the realization of a personal dream for me. >> mondaire, what would you hope to accomplish if you get to serve in congress? >> my gosh, you know, i've set forth an ambitious array of proposals. not least of which is the fact that i think that everyone in this country should have quality health care. and the richest nation of the history of the world, i think everyone should be entitled to that. in the meantime, we have to be providing immediate cash assistance. the thought of this one-time $1,200 check is a slap in the face for the folks in my district where it's extremely expensive to live. it has to be a top proo iiority >> eddie glaude has a question. >> congratulations on what could be an historic moment in america's politics. let me ask you about policing.

protests is so hypocritical i think a lot of these communities like st louis by baltimore even the south bronx we're so poor this is by design. you'd better believe it institutional racism in all pression and capitalism all of real elements to play into our impoverished in hopeless state is the reason why os cools of failing is the reason why our kids are allowed to drop out old wants us to climb up the food chain . during the riots a couple of years ago a young man was interviewed as to why he participated in the riots and why he participated in the looting he was 17 years old and quite frankly said i expect to be dead in a couple of years so why not that was somebody without hope for people that are living in the poverty areas it is hard to maintain hope. you cannot be both with yet you want. you know what's a clip of she will be no use to you. but it's always a way it was a cool moment. like not something you need immediate . they can put us on wouldn't put up. the. yes. yes well. the heart has already been eaten out of their part of america that they used to call look cool or of american.

protest is so hypocritical i think a lot of these communities like st louis by baltimore even the south bronx were so poor this is by design like you'd better believe that institutional racism you know pression and capitalism are real elements to play. into our impoverished in hopeless state there's a reason why our schools are failing is the reason why our kids are allowed to drop out old wants us to love food. during the riots a couple of years ago a young man was interviewed as to why he participated in the riots and why he participated in the looting he was 17 years old and quite frankly said i expect to be dead in a couple of years so i know what. that was somebody without hope for people that are living in the poverty areas it is hard to maintain hope. the world is driven by a dream shaped by thinker senator specter. thinks . we are here to ask. no crowd. no shots. actually felt. as to. which your thirst for action. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of e

>> 25 years ago we started giving money to the south bronx educational fund.involved in inner-city schools. we like to give back to the community in that fashion. the problem we have today even though we are working with zoom and team and those kinds of technology, how do i train individuals? how do i get them to learn about how to do research and independent judgment unless we can get them in one location? so those are the challenges. in terms of recruiting individuals we hired individuals from high school in the inner-city. that's a challenge today in terms of you can put them on mass transit to get to wherever we are located. we have professorships at tulane . why should we not go to temple and morehouse and try to do something like that. we've got to figure it out. tom: mario gabelli, thank you so much. see our interviews with lebron james across the bloomberg network today. later today, love talking to her in davos. stacy cunningham later today. stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> bloomberg surveillance. let's get to the first word news. the coronavirus

when i worked in the south bronx, they couldn't get their trash picked up for weeks.nd a police officer if you walked five steps in either direction. is that the kind of world anybody wants to live in? i truly don't think anybody, white, wealthy, poor, black, immigrant, nonimmigrant, wants to live in that world. >> i also think to josie's point and to your question, trevor, part of this process is also culture. people strog change and culture changing. and that often takes time. and i think we're in a moment where we can call for more. because when i show up to a march in los angeles where 50,000 people come out, it's not all black people. it's a multiracial movement led by black people. but i see all types of folks holding up "black lives matter" signs "defund" signs, largely a younger generation saying we are tired in the ways in which police relate to black people and we stand on their side. natalie portman who is natalie portman. i had a long talk with her about defund police, and we had celebrities sign on to it to defund police. and me and natalie had a real hea

there was an elderly lady in the 41st precinct of the south bronx who stood up in the middle of the communityting and said, how lovely when we see the police, they are my friends. these are the voices that the media deliberately silences because they completely undermine their phony narrative about systemic police racism and white supremacy in this country. >> tucker: i mean, phony doesn't begin to scratch the surface, i would say. we are being told by demagogues on television, officeholders, people who run the country are telling us genocide is occurring, there is a never-ending wave of racist attacks on african-americans by police officers in which many are dying. we came up with ten in 2019, how can they say something like that? when there are no facts to support it. >> the irony is "the washington post"'s own database collects the statistics, but "the washington post" doesn't write that. here's another interesting fact, a police officer is 18 and a half times more likely to be murdered by a black male than an unarmed blackmail is to be murdered by a cop. or killed by a cop. so there are s

that says so you see, we just need to allow the privatization because those communities in the south bronx and on staten island don't have billionaires living on them, don't have the wealth, don't have people who say when i take my kids into that playground in the park it is clean. they have that aspiration but they don't have the wealth and so if we again go back to all the systems that are public that are being privatized, philanthropy should be in the role not of accelerating that but of calling that out is itself a contributor to the very problem we are trying to solve. >> thank you very much for coming tonight, really enjoyed this but i missed something along the way. there is a word up there that says justice and i don't understand exactly how you interpret that word, could you help me with that? >> justice, for me, is rooted for me in my religious teaching. the idea of social justice, of fairness, of every human being being worthy of dignity, of not experiencing indifference because of some physical or other quality, that renders them the other and to my mind, justice, this is why i

see, like -- you know, i can't go outside at night with a hoodie on and not be profiled in the south bronxnd get, you know, ran up on by six defective cops because they want to just jemp me to think, or they think i'm someone, a suspect for something. it's like you have a daily fear of your life for no reason. >> that was a young man there, judy, talking about his fear, his frustrations with the police, and that's what protestors are telling me here, they want concrete change. >> woodruff: just quickly, dan, what about political leaders, what are they saying about new york? >> that's right, judy, president trump has crit sited governor cuomo, mayor disabledo de blasio for not cracking down harder. the mayor says he doesn't want the national guard here. this city has 36,000 officers, the largest police officer in the country. the mayor is saying he thinks he can get the nighttime protests under control in the coming days. so we'll see what happens. >> woodruff: dan bush reporting for us tonight from brooklyn. thank you, dan. >> woodruff: the nation's capital has been another site of large-s

with so many minority kids from the south bronx, how do i ever have an opportunity to see, even know what may be possible? to develop a passion in something that i can really feel that i can do a great job in. so the fact that this invisible affirmative action takes place is a problem. access starts at a very young age and i'm not even talking about access to good education and health care, but just talking about economics right now. and the ability -- liz: right, a chance. let me interrupt. i wanted to say we wanted to show our viewers some statistics really quickly here. the unemployment rate here in the united states at 14.7%, that's the national rate, for african americans it's 16.7%. if you look at who's coming out a winner in this great market, this great bull market, home ownership, the national rate, 65%. african-americans, 44%. 607 billionaires in the united states, only five of them are black, tracy. one last thought here before we go. >> i think, again, we are talking about opportunities. if you want to have -- the united states is made of diversity. diversity gives the op

and i agree with you, these are american citizens, not everybody in new york, brooklyn, and the south bronx voted for these lunatics. they have rights. we are responsible. it's our country. >> sean: let's go back to this incident. i talked to the homeowner.wn they broke down the gate to get into the community. they were warned that this is going to happen. no police showed up according to the lawyer and according to this gentleman that i spoke to. is that a preview of coming attractions, geraldo? >> could be. it could very well be. could be every man and woman for themselves. i think it's sad, it's tragic and i want this to be an issue. why is it not an issue except on fox news? 18 dead in chicago. how is it that the sound of silence echoes through all the democratic corridors? i can't get it done i don't -- >> sean: according to their lawyer and what they told me, ehey were being threatened directly with their lives and they were being threatened that their home would be burned down and they killed the dog i was told. that's what the lawyer said. >> when you call nine on one of the social

south bronx, for days and days and days on end. these guys are not being paid a lot of money. last question. the blue flu. everybody knows what it means, is that a possibility? because that's also scary. >> sean, it's not a possibility, it's actually happening. these guys have got to take a stand. and candidly so. if they are going to be depoliced, they have to sit there and have let it happen. they got to send some message or your communities will descend into pure chaos. these are the finest men and women that i've ever worked with ever in my life. i would trust them with my kids, my house, my car, my wife, my family, anyone. the finest men and women i have ever worked with in my life, and the stereotyping of all of them with these racist killers is disgusting and gross. >> sean: we have a statement from the atlanta police department, with earlier discussions of people that had walked off the job. they are experiencing have a higher than usual number of callouts. they remain able to respond to incidents. dan bongino, thank you and thanks to all the men and women and 99% of l

can understand there is a tremendous difference between the population of staten island and the south bronxo it is not a one fix all solution. so therefore, we need smart people at the table to device a solution, a strategy on how to engage each community in the city of new york. because if that doesn't happen, it's going to continue to spiral out of control, and this is something that has been happening consistent for years on end. what often happens, not just with the nypd, but i want to say all police, police departments nationally, they will put in place a provision based on a situation that went left, and i'll give you an example. eric garner for example. right after eric garner's situation, we saw this outcry forri implicit bins training within police departments nationally, and the nypd implemented implicit bias training and there was no sustained way. let's look at it six months, a year later and evaluate the process and make sure it is sound. unfortunately that has not occurred. so as a result of the failure to implement a sustained peace, we still continue to have these incidents

as someone who was born and raised in the porth congressional district in the united states, the south bronxnflicted by the state through , there is department no other option then walking and working on this side of justice. -- i can speak to as a mom of a black boy who was growing up in this country -- when georgey floyd was killed, there was a call that he made and he called for his mom. i think most mothers who saw that clip of those eight mitts and 46 seconds, when the life was being taken out of this man and heard him call for his mom, heard our own children call for us. when we are talking about decisive moments, this is a moment -- no police should be walking around with military equipment. no police department should have .eargas or rubber bullets it is crazy. only in a crazy society would be accepted that as the norm. this country has invested in death and has refused to invest in life-giving projects. enough is enough. i think the people of this country are clear and taking to the streets and will continue to take the streets for as long as and divisionre met is achieved. in 2003

. >> i have been to domestic abuse situations in the south bronx. heated passes.ometimes people have weapons. you walk in on that, then you may be picking up more than bed. sometimes these things end tragically. you nut a psycho therapist, a counselor someone like that. first of all, how do you respond? the door is barricaded. the assault is in progress. who breaks up that fight? i mean, where does this end? yes, cops need to be more sensitive. yes, cops need to be better trained. but putting replacing police officer that's trained both in psychology and in physicality being able to stop it, no, that's not a good idea at all. pete: errol how do we have a conversation about policing in this country when it goes straight to disband the police. there is a conversation to be had. but when you are talking about getting rid of it, it's pretty hard to have one. >> good morning, pete. thank you for having me on and thank you for your service to our country. defunding the police is not the answer. in my 30 years in law enforcement, we clearly see that training and supervis
