st. louis has remained a symbol to the country, and even the world of the pain so many of us have had to endure for far too long. this summer after george floyd, breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery, and so many more were taken from us, millions of people are taking to the streets to join us to say black lives matter. we have been called radicals. terrorists. we have been dismissed as impossible. an impossible fringe movement, that is what they called us. now we are multi-racial, multi ethnic, multi generational. united in demanding change. demanding accountability. demanding our police, our government, our country recognize that black lives do indeed matter. and that these are not just words or symbolic gestures. but with concrete action, we will measure those outcomes. let me just say it is historic that this year of all years we are sending a black working-class single mother all the way to the halls of congress.

people in st. louis>> shannon: you are going to be speaking next week at the rnc and people think it's a bad idea for republicans and i want to give you a chance to respond to the critics. "the boston globe" says this at the rnc he offers the strongest case against his reelection and that includes youth saying that expect the g.o.p. horror show where trump is the ringleader of what will likely be a ugly spectacle of white grievance and culture wars. the white st. louis couple that brandish guns at black lives matter's protesters invited to speak at the rnc laid bare the path of the trump has chosen. how do you respond? >> once again, what they call is a racial thing is a big misrepresentation. it what it is a protecting oneself against the mob, okay. the most basic right human beings have is the right of self-defense. when the frameworks of the constitution and the founders of our country put down the rights that we have, there we are creating these rights, these were rights that recommend us to god to u

>> you are so st. louis. >> i'm so st. louis, yes. >> tell me this.covid-19. how were you able to campaign from a hospital bed while battling this disease? and running for office? >> you know, it was, it was really a mind thing, because i couldn't breathe, like breathing was, you know, every second of the day, like every breath i had to, you know, force an inhale and an exhale. and as a nurse, it was like oh, my gosh, i just felt like i knew what this could mean. and i couldn't sleep, you know, but my team kept fighting. so they would call me, and they would try to only come at me with a bunch of things at once so i wouldn't have to talk a lot throughout the day. that's how we managed on the really, really bad days. i'm on a bed, on a live stream, only audio, you're not going to see what my hair looks like, you know, it was just really, you know, and i'm talking like this. and they're like, you know what? you sound terrible, get off the live stream. we need to call an ambulance. but the team is amazing, and we kept going. i was not going to let, look,

is from st. louis. in every case, this is not maligning anyone, but you all were running against established candidates. where do we go from here? this is the richest country in the history of the world. excluding technology, great knowledge base, why do we have so much poverty? why are so many people living paycheck-to-paycheck? what is your vision for a new america? let's begin with our reelected congresswoman from detroit, rashida. tell us a little bit about your background and how it might have influenced your politics. uaw tlaib: my dad was a worker with a fourth grade education. the first time he felt dignity was when he joined the uaw and he felt the power that he deserved fair wages and health coverage. my mother, eighth grade education. both palestinian immigrants. i'm the oldest of 14 and have been taking care of children my whole life. i was my mother's translator. she understood it but spoke arabic. i would translate for her. i remember going up to the counter to translate for my mom and the

charry, a lot of people in st. louis saying say it ain't so. >> you know how we are in st. nd is to football. cardinal baseball is big part of summer and we didn't have it and now it's kind of on and now off again, leland. leland: i've been having to answer for my hometown or at least home states to folks on the east coast after the video of the parties at lake of the ozarks made national news for perhaps all the wrong reasons. now that people are seeing the outbreak even among baseball players, is anybody in st. louis calling, gee, i should have been a lot more serious about the virus? >> regarding the cardinals, not so much. i think the cardinals organization believes that it boulevard all of the proper protocols. this virus is what it is. it's invisible and sometimes it hits people who have done all that they possibly can to prevent contracting it and john, the president of baseball operations for the team today said that he feels there's no sense in shaming someone who gets this disease anymore than you would shame someone who gets any other disease. leland: excellent po

when we saw this 18-year-old baby lying in the streets for 4.5 hours in the hot st. louison uncovered, just the idea he deserved justice and we could not get it? yes, we took to the streets. there was no playbook before this that said, hey, this is what you do. we showed up and we reacted. we wanted -- we kept it going. we protest more than 400 days. people were beaten. tear gas mace, rubber bullets, real bullets were flying. but we kept coming back. i was assaulted by police during that time. not being a violent person -- i am nonviolent. i'm not peaceful, but i'm not violent. violence came back at me. but we stood and wasted stood in 2017 after the verdict of jason stokley after the murder of anthony lamar smith in st. louis and also again for george floyd, breonna taylor, so many others. we continue to stand because black lives have to matter in this country. the only way that shows -- one way that shows is when we have equity and we have our police treating black people the same way that other people in this country are treated. we deserve respect. amy: i would ask abo

shootings taking place in portland, st. louis, some deadly, protestors turned out seventh consecutive day night of protests in kenosha overnight. that remains peaceful for the most part. welcome to america's news headquarters, leland great to be with you as well. i'm gillian turner. leland: gillian, nice to be with you. we will check with garrett tenney. we will take a look at portland where one person was shot and killed near a clash between black lives matter and propresident trump supporters. kristina coleman. christina: caravan was making its way downtown when protestors attempted to stop them by standing in the street. third consecutive weekend of tension escalating between competing groups of protestors in portland. last night trump supporters fired pallets and counter-protestors as counter-protestors threw things at trump-supporting caravan. the shooting happened after most of the caravaners left the area. police haven't released information on the victim but associated press freelance photographer says the white man, righ

north st. louis and st. louis -- north st. louis county, we didn't have what we needed and predominantly black areas we were lacking. we didn't have the resources. i want to make sure that we change that, but the way we change that is we have to have -- we have to have access, everyone has to have access to health care. that's what i have been pushing medicare for all. >> given what you went through, when you hear the president say that the death toll from coronavirus is what it is, how does that make you feel as a survivor? >> as a survivor and as a registered nurse myself who works in community health, that is absolutely reprehensible. 150,000 people, you know, we're talking about lives. people that -- as of january, those people were here and they were expected to be here by december. you know, our president has to do better. but that's okay, we'll do better and we'll vote him out in november. >> cori bush, thank you for being with us. congratulations on the biggest political upset of the night to be sure. >> thank you. >> t

that is a horrible thing in the city of st. louisthe back the level of violence is remarkable yet nobody seems to care. those black lives don't seem to matter to anybody in black lives matter is not about blacks or lives. it is a marxist organization that wants to transform the united states, remove our constitutional liberties, destroy our ability to protect ourselves, take our guns away and make a servants of an all-powerful state. if you look at the black lives matter website they make no bones about it. it is shocking to me and got to be shocking to the entire country that major corporations, major sporting events like the nfl are going to give $250 million to an organization that is avowedly marxist. does that make sense to anybody, you see the violence in the streets, adam painter beaten, he was part of their organization, marched with a black lives matter, these people don't care about human rights, they don't care about people, they want power. they want to take over. >> for a lot of people there is confusion and frustration

st. louis cardinals series against the pirates has been postponed after another cardinals player tested positive for the virus st. louis hasn't played a game since july 29th. >>> french president emmanuel macron led a meeting which president trump atented. organizers say donors pledged $298 million in aid to beirut after last week's devastating explosion. the tragedy led to days of protest in lebanon for more on this, here's nbc's reporter >> reporter: after the massive protest we saw here, people are back on the streets clashing again with the government. people are just so angry about this blast here on tuesday and they absolutely blame the government for what happened >> the president said it's an accident it's a crime, not an accident. and they are not martyrs, they are victims. >> they have the real authority. that's why we will not get out of the streets until our needs are met, until the new elections and all three pillars of our government are taken down. >> reporter: people are telling

beatrice in st. louis, missouri. republican line. you are on c-span. kamala harris is the democratic vice presidential money. caller: i am excited about kamala harris being the nomination for the vice president of the united states. i think it's time that we get back to being in the interest of the people. joe biden -- host: turn down the volume on your tv. listen through the telephone. you have called on the republican line. are you a republican? caller: yes i am. this year, i will be voting democratic. i'm looking forward to a new president. i would like everyone to vote. exercise your rights. haveiberties our ancestors

st. louis cardinals, four positive tests. is it too much for sports writers to say that the whole shortened season is in jeopardy? griff: , well, it's certainly the case now. yesterday we had the mlb commissioner rob manfred telling espn that we're going to play but the players have got to be better, talking about the behavior of the players. we learned a week ago, howie, that marlins tests came back and we are only three or four days into the season. we learned of the tests now. i think what commissioner manfred is doing is laying the groundwork, if we get another slew of tests today, and we'll get them because games are being played all across the country today, in just a few hours, if we get that it will be very difficult for manfred not to consider shutting things down and that would be a really tough time, just an example of the strains, though, you've got the

. >> reporter: teams reporting 29 coronavirus cases in the past week with two st. louis cardinals players testing positive friday, postponing their matchup against the milwaukee brewers. the league says a decision is consistent with protocols to allow enough time for additional testing and contact tracing to be conducted. eight different teams have been affected. the marlins have been sidelined for days after an outbreak infected 17 players and two

the milwaukee brewers worked out at the stadium and instead of playing the home opener, because to st. louis players tested positive then the marlins, and 18th player has tested positive. they are busing the infected players from philadelphia back to miami. and six teams did not play on friday because they or their opponents had positive tests and those cases have led to the postponement of 17 games this week. the numbers do not lie.

>> nikki: it's honestly not been so bad being stuck living in st. louis with a couple in their 60s it could be worse, at least it's not these two. my mom would never wear horizontal stripes. i gotta say though, not much has changed since the last time i lived at home. i still sleep late, my room is a mess, i steal their weed. the main difference is now if i'm going to my room to masturbate, i say mom, dad, i'm going to my room to masturbate. i can't watch any more "down to earth with zac efron" with you guys. ol' glaz dog's gonna finish this ep alone. as grateful as i am to have this time to get reacquainted with both my parents and the zack morris poster over my bed, i'm not pretending that any of this is worth it. i love how so many people are making this crisis about themselves. i keep hearing girls say something like this is a sign from the universe that i needed to slow down. and it's like, no becca, i don't think a half a million people died so you could recommit to your yoga practice. i've even been guilty of this reasoning. before covid hit, i was

in your book, one half of this for the separated by a german immigrant who bought the st. louis browns in the 18 eighties. could you sort of introduce -- >> that's a great story. it's a missouri story. even though it is the other side of the state. chris was a german immigrant, a tavern owner, -- i'm sorry >> i get to this later. >> he had a beer station in the field. >> he bought the st. louis browns because he thought it would be a good way to some more beer. he opened up a kind of branch of his tavern. a little beer garden out in the outfield. it was a branch of his tavern from down the street. and then he had, he was gonna cross marketing, he also had the waders in the actual tavern dressed up in brown's uniforms. he was pushing both directions. >> ownership about putting a bar. >> he had things to entertain people and he built sportsman park, the old st. louis ballpark as the coney island of the west. and it was all about entertainment. if we think that there is too much distraction in ballparks today, it has a long history. >> but he was a working class -- he wanted a work

david dorn, a 38-year veteran of the st. louis police department, a great man and a highly respected man by all. in june captain dorn was shot and killed as he tried to protect his store from rioters and looters or as the democrats would call them, peaceful protesters. they call them peaceful protesters. we're honored to be joined tonight by his wonderful wife, ann, and beloved family members brian and kaelin. to each of you, we will never forget the heroic legacy of captain david dorn. thank you very much for being here. thank you. [ applause ] thank you very much. great man. great man. as long as i am president, we will defend the absolute right of every american citizen to live in security are dignity and peace. if the democrat party wants to stand with anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters and flag burners, that is up to them, but i, as your president, will not be a part of it. the republican party will remain the voice of the patriotic heros who keep america safe and salute the american flag.

it's interesting i was in st. louisple. so we went back this summer to find out it is a landmark familiar to many near the arch in st. louis, the old courthouse a grand temple of justice but not for all. >> this is the building where dred and harry scott actually walked up the steps on april 6th of 1846 to sue for their freedom. >> reporter: lynn jackson knows the story well dred scott was her great great grandfather. >> very proud of dred scott because he was courageous to do what he did at a time it was considered sedition. >> reporter: based on a doctrine called once free always free, scott sued >> he was not willing to run and put his wife and little girls in jeopardy of being caught >> reporter: the case lasted more than a decade ultimately decided by the supreme court and chief justice roger tawny who wrote that blooks we are, quote, regarded as beings of an inferior order altogether unfit to associate with the white race. and so far inferior they had no. rights which the white man was bound to respect he in essen

he ends up on the streets of st. louis selling firewood to support his family. how does that happen? >> yeah. okay. try making it as a farmer, julia as a wedding gift from her father received 60 acres which grant worked. he was very industrious but he could not make a go of it. he ends up taking firewood, ten miles into st. louis and he actually walks beside the wagon. people who saw him in those days selling firewood on street corners in st. louis said that he was bearded, disheveled, unkept looking. one of his old army buddies ran into him on the street and was shocked by grant's unkept appearance and he said, grant, what are you doing? grant's response was poignant, he said i'm solving the problem of poverty. he was so poor at that -- he was so poor at that point that one christmas he had to pawn his watch to buy christmas presents for his family. this was circa 1857, civil war breaks out 1861. >> then something happens. fort sumter and you write in your book grant eventually joins the volunteer infantry in illinois and gets a position in the union army and y

it's ten miles into st. louis and he walks beside the wagon. people who saw him in those days selling fire woods in st. louis said that he was bearded, dishevelled, unkempt looking. one of his old army buddies ran into him and said to him, grant, what are you doing? he said i'm solving the problem of poverty. he was so poor at that -- he was so poor at that point that one christmas he had to pawn his watch to buy christmas presents for his family. this was circa 1857, civil war breaks out 1861. >> then something happens. fort sumpter. grant joins the volunteer infantry in illinois. you write that a changeover comes grant. what was that change? >> when the civil war broke out, there was a shortage of officers. about a third of the army officers were from the south. most of them defected to the confederacy. there was a need for trained people. grant add all of that lure from west point stored in his mind. he had fought in the mexican war before the civil war. and so his efficiency and his military knowledge immediately come to the fore. and grant

police captain who was killed in st. louis, david dorn. what else can you tell us about her and her late husband? >> ann dorn is going to be one of these very emotional speakers. her story or the story of her husband is something that really captured the imagination of conservatives during the george floyd protests earlier this summer. one of the things about having so many victims or families of victims speaking at this convention is the victims themselves are obviously no longer here with us to say how they would feel about it and two of david dorn's children apparently debra and lisa have both said that their father was not a trump supporter and they do not think he would have wanted his legacy to be used in a political fashion at a political convention in this way. it is one of those things where he is not here, unfortunately, to speak for himself and his children are not going to be here to speak with her. but this is going to be a really kind of one of those key, core messages that is going to be tying together the law and order idea

in st. louis, to use this example, when all of these african-american neighborhoods in downtown st. louis were demolished and sometimes for housing, middle class housing or lower middle class housing, sometimes for universities, sometimes for big highway exchanges, african-americans had to go to the only places where their vouchers were accepted and it turned out in st. louis, a town of ferguson, another one next to it, jennings, a couple of towns that would accept these vouchers and these became new segregated communities on the inner ring -- this is happening everywhere in the country, where you get gentrification and historically we got urban renewal which in the '60s with you characterized as removal, everywhere we got these programs it displaced the minority population to new segregated communities in inner ring suburbs. lots of people talk very well of that gentrification because it creates diverse communities. it's only transitional diversity, transitional integration, because gradually those communities become unaffordable to the people who used to live there. they can't pay

in st. louis, they used this example in all of these african american neighborhoods in downtown st. louis were demolished and sometimes for housing, middle class housing. or lower middle class housing. sometimes from universities, or a big highway exchanges. african americans had to go to the only places where there vouchers were accepted, and it turned out st. louis, the town of ferguson and there is another city next to it and a couple of towns that would accept these vouchers and these became new segregated communities. this is happening everywhere in the country. everywhere where we get gentrification and historically we got urban renewal, the sixties was characterized by black removal. everywhere we kind of got these programs, it just displaced the minority population. lots of people talk about gentrification because it creates diverse communities, but it is only transitional integration. gradually those communities become unaffordable to the people who used to live there. they can't pay property taxes there anymore. so they are forced to move to these new segregated communities

the st. louis couple became famous.oth attorneys protecting their homes as demonstrators moved through the neighborhood. tonight they addressed the republican national convention. >> not a single person in the out of control mob you saw at our house was charged with a crime. but you know who was? we were. they have actually charged us with felonies for daring to defend our home. on top of that, consider this the marxists liberal activist leading the mob to our neighborhood stood outside our home with a bullhorn screaming'' you cannot stop the revolution." weeks later, that same marxists activist won the democrat nomination to hold a seat in the house of representatives. your home, that is your castle, protecting your home is first and foremost. that is what they say they were trying to do. yeah, well, the protesters were not armed. other than with a megaphone. i think it was a somewhat extreme reaction that they did not really try to get on their or invade the property, let alone hurt the property owners. i think that i
