unlike kamala harris, karen bass is not a fraud. karen bass means it. she's sincere. she's an unapologetic left-wing bomb thrower who spent decades working to help fidel castro and his cold war against the united states. karen bass kept praising fidel castro all the way to t hs death just four years ago. in the 1970s, karen bass belong to a group the the l.a. police department accused of training revolutionaries in "terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare." bass apparently visited cuba multiple times a year. so it's not pejorative to know that karen bass is not a mainstream figure. she literally cosponsor the new way forward act. that is a lunatic bill that would force the u.s. government to reimport at taxpayer expense hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens whom we've deported for committing crimes. bring them back here. violent crimes, for real. karen bass is so extreme that, like all harris, by the way, she's currently trying to repeal california's main antidiscrimination law. bass wants to make racial discrimination legal as it was before the civil rights movemen

bass and why those two women speak to me is top contenders, one, the recent karen bass speaks to me is that we are speaking about a leader in this moment that can handle what the country is going through which is covid-19 and the global pandemic. think of somebody like karen bass in the position's assistant who came of age and worked in the l.a. county hospital during the hiv/aids epidemic and she's the go to candidates and think about somebody like keisha lance bottoms, somebody who understands how to govern a city and the reins of government work and she's a judging city council person so she understands how government works and how three branches works and three really good contenders for the vice president and both have great stories. both stories are the american story how they came from nothing to become something and i think it's a great contenders for vice president. >> trace: when you talk about the californian congresswoman and they came out and said they're talking about kamala harris but really, if you pick one, maybe that's who to pick she's 66 years old, 67 years old h

kamala harris karen bass from california, nina turner, former ohio state senator. kamala harris, do you think that she would be a good pick or do you think she would alienate the bernie sanders win? >> i don't think biden can ignore that. i think he set himself up for a real disappointing response to whomever he picks because he has dangled opportunity in front of so many segments within his party that a significant number of folks are going to be disappointed. you only make the support of one person happy and the supporters of half a dozen persons are going to be unhappy the way he's handled it. i think he's botched most of his political activities over the last 50 years. >> melissa: is what he had to

or susan rice kamala harris and karen bass. or -- but it feels like that trio, is it fair to say right now the tea leaves say is that trio is a little bit ahead of everybody else? >> well, the trick about all this, chuck, is i think some of the public speculation tends to be a little best a lagging indicator of where things are really inside the campaign. this much is clear. we started with a long list three months ago. in the last few weeks we've been talking about a shorter list. and i think in the next 48 to 72 hours we're going to be talking about the final lists indeed. the final three or four individuals who the former vice president hopes to narrow it down to. and then in some form or fashion meet with. we know that personal execution is going to be so important. in some cases he already has that, has a personal relationship with some of these individuals. i think when you look at the karen bass meeting on the hill, or just earlier this week that could have been sort of a first date if you will. an opportunity to get the

karen bass said that she has spoken to ocasio-cortez about this and that there's real concern about it and also liz cheney has been verbally accused of not being loyal enough. she's the number three ranking in the republican caucus she says that it was a healthy discussion, but the fact is that matt gates is talking about removing her from her leadership post for praising dr. fauci and challenging the president occasionally >> there's just something about these women these men don't seem to like. this is exactly what i'm talking about. the message of this book is for women to understand, if you are operating in the professional world, in the political world today, you are operating in a world that was not built for you. it was built for men it's not anybody's fault this is what we've inherited it was built to accommodate them, value men's efforts over women. and when women step out in leadership roles, even in 2020, and they say provocative things, you are going to draw fire the way ocasio-cortez did and liz cheney did your n you are not doing anything wrong. we internalize the notion

bass, who is generating buzz that her stock is rising. >> i am so concerned about where our country is at this point in time. we have had a president that has just torn us apart, and i'm willing to serve my country in whatever way i'm called upon to serve my country. >> a politico article called bass the anti-kamala harris, often shying away from the spotlight and someone who would not outshine biden. she's also quietly worked on race and healthcare issues for years, two key campaign issues. but there is criticism she may be seen as having a little ambition for a white house run of her own. susan rice, val demings, and michelle grisham also made television appearances. the biden campaign is ramping up ads, dropping 14 1/2 million dollars for a blitz in six battleground states. they also just spent 15 million on ads last week. the trump campaign outspent biden on digital and tv ads, nearly every week, since the start of the general election campaign in april, according to advertising analytics. republicans are getting their message out in other ways too. rnc chair mcdaniel wrote in a

and joining me now congresswoman karen bass of california. and congresswoman mad lean dean of pennsylvania. both serve on the house judiciary committee and took part in today's hearing. congresswoman bass, ooh input to play a moment that i thought was one of the most searing moments. it was early in the hearing. this was congressman, your colleague sedrick richman invoking the name of john lewis against will barr having done the same thing. >> the one thing that you have in common with your two predecessors, both attorney general sessions and attorney general whitaker is that when you all came here and brought your top staff, you brought no black people. that, sir, is systematic racism. that is exactly what john lewis spent his life fighting. and so i would just suggest that actions speak louder than words. and you really should keep the name of the honorable john lewis out of the department of justice's mouth. >> ouch. congresswoman bass, it says "the honorable." did you find william barr's testimony to be honorable today? >> no, i didn't, a

please welcome congresswoman karen bass. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for having me on. >> stephen: now, i understand as the chairman of the congressional black caucus, you just ended a virtual town hall called, "living while black in america." who were some of the voices you were hearing from today? >> well, lots of people who were involved in different community activities, period, but especially right now because of what we're facing. and people were just in general expressing their anguish and their fatigue-- how long, how long, how long? how many people have to be killed on video? >> stephen: what... what is-- what needs to happen now legislatively? what do you as a congresswoman, the congressional black caucus, the democrats and those allies you can find in the republican caucus, who sort of see the inflection point we're at right now? i know that speaker pelosi has asked you to lead the action that's going to be taken to-- investigate what can be done right now. what are your plans in

bass there. pay her respects. professor glaude, i'll start with you. over the last few hours, we've heard from a number of folks who have talked about the john lewis they all remembered. what leahe represented to them. what he stood to them. for you, professor, who was congressman john lewis? >> without congressman john lewis and others, you know, we wouldn't be possible. i'm sitting here thinking as i'm looking at the coffin, draped in the flag, how many walked into the rotunda with him. cloud of witnesses who didn't have flags draped over their coffins. thinking about sammy young. murdered because he tried to integrate a restroom in tuskegee, alabama, 1966. a comrade of john lewis'. thinking about jimmy lee jackson. murdered in marion, alabama, by a state trooper. a comrade of john lewis. i'm thinking about all of those bodies at the bottom of the mississippi river that nobody knows their names. they're the cloud of witnesses in the capitol rotunda right now. and then the second thing i'm think

joining me now is california congresswoman and cheer of congressional black caucus, karen bass. congresswoman, madam chairperson, you worked with john lewis, you were the chair of the congressional black caucus, you worked side by side with him. he was called the conscience of the congress. we say that quickly on newscasts, but explain why he was called that and how he played that role. >> absolutely. well, you know, when he was in a hearing, when he was on the floor, when he would get up to speak, it was the moral authority that he kmaded always. i want to share a funny story with you because one time there was one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle submitted an amendment that was going to cut the funding to help with voting rights enforcement. i guess mr. lewis must have been in his office and heard about this amendment and he comes rushing down on the floor of the house and he gave one of his, you know, roaring speeches. my republican colleague went back on the floor, apologized publicly and withdrew the amendment. it was the moral authority with which he always

congresswoman karen bass condemned a political report i would never want to be labeled as the anti-the anti-kamala harris, and the attorney general and now senator, she would be an excellent vp in the same goes for anyone else on the list. former vp biden now taken heat for this comment about president trump. >> we have racists and they try to get elected and the first one that has. >> the posted says that biden doesn't realize the fault of other white male leaders. >> i wish he would shut the f up forever and act like he starting in the movie "a quiet place" because he opens his mouth and makes noise he gets us all killed. >> trump is new campaign manager laying a new theme lies ahead even though biden has been around a long time he think he is largely undefined to most americans so they will try to do that it's reminding in industrial states that biden votes for nafta. of bret. >> bret: panel, and peter, thank you. groundbreaking new information about the fbi personnel involved in the investigation of the 2016 trump presidential campaign. doug mcallen telling us things were not as th

on the shortlist, california congresswoman karen bass. she is a guest on the issue is and the host adjoins is now at the preview of their conversation. >> about a month ago we talked to karen bass and i was the first person to ask her on camera if she was even interested in the vp job she. she said sure but nobody has vetted me. a few days after that she started to be vetted and she is actually on the short, shortlist. according to the new york times, she is one of the top two, her and susan rice area and what a change it has been from the last month and in some cases she has frogged kamala harris. we talked with her about how crazy this whole process has been. the little girl version of karen bass, this thought that you are realistically now being considered to be the vice president of the united states. could you have ever imagined that as a little girl? >> no, i can't imagine that as a girl. i mean, it is still surreal. it is an absolute honor that people would talk in the way they have. i have read articles where they have gone back a

kelly, and the great work of our chair, karen bass, who gathered us together. i am on homeland security along with my colleague, congressman green. we have seen this over the years. i want to emphasize that we have been the only voice, the congressional black caucus and individual members, of raising the issue of data. new york got hit before we even understood covid-19 because of the ineffectiveness of leadership at the level of the administration. we heard about covid-19 as early as october of 2019, so we should have had ppe and tests and we did not. when you talk to doctors in new york, people were dying in the projects, or public housing, preferably, because they were going to hospital emergency rooms with no health care and people were sending them home with aspirin or whatever else --y were sedate upon with, whatever else they were sending them home with, they were infecting their relatives and senior citizens and people were dying. no one could understand what this was or what was going on. that is the first, i think, statement about disparities in healt

i thought karen bass asked a very legitimate question. i would like to know the answer to that question. fortunately, donald trump and the department of justice have already put those wheels in motion to expose that. i wholeheartedly agree with richard on that, and karen bass. >> harris: gentlemen, thank you both for joining me. i'm harris faulkner, i will hand it off now to "the daily briefing." >> fox news alert, we are looking live on capitol hill, we are about to get back to this hearing with attorney general bill barr. he's going to resume testimony. he just sat back down after a five minute recess, getting killed by democrats including the judiciary chairman, jerry nadler. he ripped the attorney general for sending federal agents into portland. we knew this would be a big topic. watch. >> the president wants footage for his campaign, and you appear to be serving it up to him as ordered. in most of these cities, the protests have begun to wind down before you marched in to confront the

we know that some of the people in the mix for that are kamala harris, karen bass, val demings, susan rice as we talked about, also keisha lance bottom is often mentioned. that in the coming final days could be part of the equation and also think about what is biden if he becomes president, going to inherit after this? is he looking ahead how to respond to the coronavirus pandemic? we've seen him lay out plan bes, but could he potentially task his vice presidential pick with something relating to that? these are all factors we're going to see heading forward in the coming weeks. >> expert -- >> john -- >> go ahead. >> i think a crucial sort of point that you have made, not necessarily looking for somebody that can flip a specific state. in the conversation choosing a woman of color and particularly an african-american woman, there is an enormous region many deponent that. a geographic component to that, that someone like karen bass from california or susan rice, who's from washington, d.c., may not deliver a state over electoral votes joe biden doesn't already have. significance of ch

appreciate it, congresswoman karen bass. appreciate it. >>> coming up now that trump knows he's not immune to the law, how dangerous could he get, knowing he could soon be a private citizen in six months. deja vu, the pandemic is raging out of control again. trump strategy, pretend it's not happening. >>> and as black lives matter gets painted onto 5th avenue right outside trump tower. look at that. we are getting our first look at the chilling transcripts of george floyd's final moments. we have so much more to get to. stay with us. e so much more to o stay with us don't just think about where you're headed this summer. think about how you'll get there. and now that you can lease or buy a new lincoln remotely or in person... discovering that feeling has never been more effortless. the lincoln summer invitation sales event is here. ibut nothing makes me feel like pnew always discreet boutique. outside, it's soft like underwear. inside, it turns liquid to gel. for incredible protection, that feels like nothing but my underwea

>> there's also been a lot of talk about karen bass. and about elizabeth warren, of course, who has been really in his ear helping to shape the response and a lot of people see as a person for this moment in terms of the economic crisis. and then you've got a lot of wonderful black women candidates whom a lot of people have been organizing to make sure that that happens. in some ways, i think, a, the most important decision that he could have made has already been made by deciding to put a woman in this slot. and the reason for that is because we are in a women's movement moment in this country. it's women's organizing and whether it's the women's march or black lives matter. it's been really led by women. we've had the most number of women in office in 2018 in the midterms. and we have the largest gender gap between the parties that has ever been recorded. if democrats win the white house and the senate in november, it's going to be because of women's political organizing. so that's why that matters. and then this is maybe a little bit

chair karen bass, mr. chairman bennie thompson, congresswoman barbara lee, and chairman g.k. butterfield i thank them for leading this effort. as i have said before, the halls of congress are at the very heart of our democracy. the statues in the capitol should embody our highest ideals as americans expressing who we are pane what we aspire to as a nation. monuments to men who advocate barbarism and racism are a grotesque affront to those ideals. their statues pay homage to hate not heritage. among the confederate statues in the capitol, can you believe this, are jefferson davis, and alexander stevens. president and vice president respectively of the confederacy . both of whom were charged with treason against america, mr. speaker. both were charged with treason against america and their statues are in the capitol. think of this about stevens, i hate to even use his words, but it may be important for people to know why the statues have to go in clearer terms. the infamous words of stevens as clear today as they were in 1861 the aims of the confederacy. in his so-called corner
