The United States has now surpassed 5 million total confirmed cases, more than 163,000 americans have lost their lives from the disease. Yesterday President Trump, who likes to brag about his dealmaking prowess, admitted defeat in his administration as efforts to strike a deal with the democrats on the next round the relief. Instead he took several unilateral action, some of which are questionable. He signed four executive offense, complete with a backdrop of dozen cheering club members. Notably the Unemployment Benefits are at a rue deuced level, and the federal government only pays 75 of the costs, passing on the other 25 already other budgetbusted states, and was the deferred payroll tax collection does absolutely nothing to help the millions of unemployed americans, while simultaneously it is harming the millions who rely on medicare and social security, which that tax funds. He flew by helicopters to the hamptons for fundraising. The signing led more evidence to john boltons statements that every decision is based solely on his reelection. Hes not trying to be subtle. If im victorious on november 3rd, i plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax. Now, joe biden and the democrats may not want that. They dont want that, so theyll have the option of raising everybodys taxes and taking this away, but if i win, i may extend and terminate. In other words, ill extend it beyond the end of the year and terminate the tax. Jo joe biden wont be doing that. I dont know if he knows what hes doing. Trump addressed what he views as the democratic strategy toward the election. You know what its about . Fraud. Thats what they could, fraud. Frankly the only way they can win is to steal the election. All right. In addition to the opposing party being about fraud, whatever that means, trump is also out with a new campaign attack line involving a higher calling. Hes going to do things that nobody ever would ever think even possible, because hes following the radical left agenda take away your guns, destroying your second amendment, no religion, no anything, hurt the bible, hurt god. Hes against god. Hes against god. While trump proclaims hess political pont will end the almighty, joe biden is getting closer to announcing his Vice President ial candidate. It is reported to be down to a handful of contenders, includes susan rice, senators kamala harris, elizabeth and Tammy Duckworth and governor Gretchen Whit mer. In fact nbc news has learned that governor whitmore traveled to connecticut. The other ali v. At this network. Just generally what do we know about this Vice President ial pick . We dont know a ton. I have to say what i do know is im skill clapping for that monologue you just finished at the end of the last hour, talking about the double standards that have been applied to the veep stakes process. At the same time, were trying to get as much information as we can. We know that Gretchen Whit mer met with hem last weekend. Thats the first inperson meeting we were able to record, but thats not to say theres not been more. Thats not an abnormal thing to do, but it does at a wrinkle. Were in a pandemic, so theres been a lot of questions about how best for biden on to do those meetings that he needs to do as he narrows the list, while also be safe about it and observing the things we need to observe, but youre right about the other people who are on this list. Weve heard from sources, susan rice, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, all part of this revolving list, but its important to note the timing. Yes, the sources tell us the decision could come in the next few days. No matter what, we know were on an eightday time line. Even though hes blown baas a few selfimposed dodd lines, whats happening on the 17th is the Democratic National convention. We know he need a vp pick before that. Ali havevitali, good to see again. Each your wheaties for the next ten days. Joining me now is valerie jarrett, the author of finding my voice. I want to talk to you about something that ali and i were just speaking about. The stereotypes of women at the highest levels. Youre part of a group called we have her back, which sent a letter to News Executives warning about stereotypes. You and i have a great relationship. I invite you to be as critical as you would like to be about the things we do in the media contribute to the stereotypes that have prevented america from having a woman president or Vice President in its entire history. Good morning. You are terrific. I agree the segment last hour was exceptional. Its a double standard and its time to stop. The reason we sent the letter ahead is because were already seeing women described in ways you wouldnt, whether its wearing a corsage or a bachelor, whatever the language, its intended to demean or diminish. Thats not acceptable. When we see it, were going to call it out, if we see it from within our own party, we will do the same. My whole team and network are listening to you. I hope so. What is the stuff you want to tell us not to do or what we should do when were talking about it. Its going to be historical. What happens in the media is we lend ourselves to superlatives. What are the dangers, the pitfalls . Just deal with the substance. Dont talk about what she looks like. Dont describe ill give you one good example. The whole concept of whether a woman is ambitious. What woman who is contending to be Vice President of the United States isnt ambitious . And more importantly what man who has occupied that office wasnt ambitious and hoping to be president one day . Why do we turn what is a good trait into something thats intended to be insulting . Lets stop talking about that. Lets stop describing us in words that you wouldnt use to describe a man. Hold us to account on this. We will continue to make sure we do the best we can on this. Susan rice is somebody you know. Of the names on that list, she may be the one that people know in some cases the least, because a the lo of the things she did were not in the news. Obviously some of them were, but a lot of them werent. What do you know about susan rice that america should know . Look, she has a long history of public service, both surfing as u. N. Ambassador and National Security adviser for president obama. She participated in all the senior Staff Meetings dealing with both domestic and foreign policy, so he has incredible experience. She also has a great relationship with Vice President joe biden. I noti i know hes looking for a partner. Shes well qualified and devoted her life to service. I think what is terrific about this field is there are so many women who are absolutely qualified not just to be Vice President , but to be president. We should be focusing, i think, on the substance of their background, their track record, their experience, their temperament, willingness to be a good partner to Vice President joe biden. In the beginning of the campaign, ali vitali was covering bless warrens campaign, and she was dropping moment every week. I remember brookings or somebody criticized her for one of her policies, and it was headlines, and i remember saying at least she had something to criticize. She put a policy forward, but i hear that sometimes people say she seemed like a professor. Isnt that a good thing . I think thats an excellent thing. Also what i would say about senator warren is having served within the obama administration. She also has a keen understanding of how government works. Susan rice has been the same thing. I think given the challenges that i hope President Biden will be inheriting, you want somebody who understands how to create policy and how to complement the policy in the way that will improve the lives of the American People. Susan rice and Elizabeth Warren both have that skill set. You had a real sense of what president obama about what information he was getting or not. Were getting increasingly alarming information about how russia interferes with an election. It now seems that not only does donald trump not take this russian interference seriously or the fact that russia may have paying bounties to the taliban, but even the Intelligence Community is building itself in a what i that they softing or offset some of the information so as not to anger donald trump. We had a really big problem on his hands that we should have been dealing after the last election that were not dealing with. Im glad youre bringing that to the attention of your viewers. We should be profoundly troubled by any outside influence in our elections. Our democracy rests upon the American People raising their voices through the process and selecting our leaders. We know from the Intelligence Community that russia made deliberate attempts to interferes and that theyre attempting to do it now. So i would say why is the Trump Administration not focusing on that . And the other point is it does start at the top, that the president of the United States is sending a message that he was to politicize their work. That should be troubling to every single american. Valerie jarrett, always good to see you. Shes a former service adviser, to president obama, and author of finding my voice. When we misstep on our discussions and characterizations about the Vice President ian candidate, valerie jarrett, you have a standing invitation to come on the air and tell us what we did wrong.

Last week doctors Anthony Fauci and deborah birx issued warning to nine u. S. Cities over high positivity rates, which say a its a good indicator of surges. This week, by the way, vogue ducked her americas frontline mayor. Shes on joe bidens short list. I understand you recently had covid19. How are you doing . And then tell me how your city is doing good morning. Good to see you as well. Im doing much better. My husband really had the worst of it. He still has all lingering effects weve heard about. This is something we have to watch, not just for people being infected, but what the longterm effects, in terms of atlanta, were struggling, because the state of georgia reopened for business as usual, so we are continuing our mediation with our governor as it relates to our mask man dadate, and encouraging businesses to follow our directions of going back to phase one, which is essential a stayathome orders, but those are voluntary recommendations. Our icu beds are at and exceeding capacity, so its not a good time in our city nor in our state. Im sort of fascinated by this. You and i have been discussing this for months. You were fairly aggressive in atlanta, which is and youve never really been one to take the gloves off with the governor on my show. Then he sued you over a mask mandate. At some point this becomes ridiculous. He sued me personally, as well as members of our city council. Other cities across the state of georgia had put in place mask mandates, including savannah, his hometown of athens, georgia, yet he sued me personally. What is fascinating is the governor has publicly expressed his belief that Wearing Masks helps curb the spread, so im very hopeful we will be able to reach an agreement that will simply give people the protections they need. I would venture to say had we not been so aggressive in atlanta in terms of encouraging our businesses to go to takeout only, for example, with our restaurants, et cetera, i would imagine or numbers would be a lot higher than they are. I want to ask you about this picture that was posted on social media from pauliding county. We now have reporting from the Atlanta Journal constitution that three Staff Members and some students tested positive. Your thoughts . It doesnt price me. I was out with two of my children this week, watching them finnell the with their masks. Its 90plus degrees here in georgia, and its difficult to expect children to adhere. My belief is schools should offer virtualonly sessions, so parents can make the choices, but also extend the options to our teachers as well. Mayor bottoms, i really want to ask you about the Vice President stuff, but i had a young man on my show an hour ago named edward aguilar, hes in alpharetta where they have distributed 890,000 units of personal protection unit. He doesnt even have a drivers license. He has a group of drivers at his disposal. He wants to get in touch with your office. I pledged to him that im going to tell you about him. I dont know if youve read about him, but this young man would love to partner with your office about helping to distribute ppe in atlanta. I saw him. What an inspiration, we would absolutely love to partner with him. Thats a great example of how people across this country are standing up and filling in these gaps that we have as a country. Right now to see a High School Student push forward with this is my morning motivation. I look forward to getting his Contact Information so we can connect.

On this show i like to talk to people making waves in their communities. Cori bush in missouri is one of those individuals. Her journey started some years ago, leading protests in ferguson. That experience is part of what drove her to run for congress in 2018, becoming one of the many female candidates who sought to enact change on the federal level that year. In fact, in that year, Stephanie Ruhle and i interviewed cori bush. She emphasized then that voters in missouri can no longer cast ballots for the status quo. We should have fighters, champions. I knotts enough to vote decent. You have to stand up and fight. She said that in 2018. Now in the social justice issues we are facing, we say that all the time now. Its not enough to say the right thing, note even enough to donate to the right causes. You have to live this. Cori bush did not win that primary in 2018, but she got up and decided to run again. Last tuesday she beat William Lacy Clay who has served ten terms in missouris first district. I spoke with her after her win. She told me she can be a great advocate for the average missourians, because shes walked miles in their shoe. What about somebody whos been evicted before, about being low was this and uninsured. Thats me. I can speak about it and push forward. This is the thing, being somebody whos been there, i know all the holes in the way that the system is built, and so im not willing to shut up about it, you know . Im going to fight for people who are like me. What happens when youre not willing to shut up is eventually you get on the ballot. Cori bush joins me now. Shes the nominee for missouris first congressional district. Someone said, you know youre going to have her on her show. Okay, ill talk with her twice. When i talked with her with stephanie in that defense, i said this to you on thursday night i think, that could have
