leslie? >> leslie: i agree, i agree with a lot of what we just heard. i buried a child in 2004. it's a hole in my heart that i will never fail. i have such empathy and sympathy for this family were any family that loses a child. no one should outlive their child. and ben is right, quite frankly, that's what people are protesting about. the racial injustice, it's a lie when there is a pretty blond white girl with beautiful blue eyes that is abducted, we see here on "people" magazine and everywhere else. we don't see that when it is a child of color from a poor community. this 1-year-old's life should not have been taken. no child's life should be taken by the heinous violence. i certainly hope that those responsible are caught and are punished as they should be. >> harris: all right. we will move on. these are tough times but we are up to the task. i appreciate, ben, i'm so glad you're here. a major resignation out of "the new york times" to tell you about now. explosive claims of bullying by colleagues. that is the breaking news story coming up. we will give you more detail. plu

what do you have to say about that, leslie? >> leslie: i think what he is talking about, his number two needs to be strong, especially because of his age. he most likely will serve one term. he has alluded to this. if i have to bet, i think that's what he'll do. i don't think susan rice is a good choice. if you are advising, as i've done, with groups of politicians, you want them to avoid antagonizing the political opponent. susan rice is a very antagonistic individual, with regard, as he had said, dagen, to benghazi. there aren't just democrats that are going to vote for joe biden come november, as the polls are showing. some republicans were disillusioned with the president, the way the country's going, or with their party. you want to pick some buddy who not only perhaps will be the next president of the united states, but likability is important. also, the chemistry between him and that individual, the ability for them to work together. it does have to go beyond liking, and maybe looking at her, susan rice, secretary of def

leslie? >> leslie: i'm confused, in portland, as to why the people would want to have an occupation zone, because if they look at what happened in seattle on capitol hill, that was disbanded. they were requesting at the beginning, like kennedy referred to earlier, i agreed with everything she said 100%. look, the problem here seems to be, according to the mayor of portland, who does not have the authority to say to federal officers that have come into his city, "now you need to leave," there they legally and within their right to protect their property and the buildings. part of the problem seems to be when they come outside of their jurisdiction, if you will, and there's a lot of anger over the weekend. when a peaceful protester holding a speaker was hit in the face by one of those federal officers and suffered a skull fracture. that seems to have ignited some of this. all of these occupation zones, harris, i would agree. a really good point. a lot of people say occupy wall street, when did

leslie, i'll go to you first. the left has demanded to defund the police while also trying to argue it's not really about defining the police, the new york city counsel and the mayor have decided to cut a billion dollars from the police budget and it seems not to be enough. >> leslie: a couple of things here. first of all, if you can about, ask for something, and get it, why leave? you're going to push and ask for more. it's pretty pavlovian. i don't agree with the legislation being proposed, and the reason is i feel it's going to need to be much more specific and it can't just be an allegation that you are innocent until proven guilty. that goes for you nice police and their pensions. let's look at some facts. i think we have the idea that, if we have more police, will have less crime. that's really not historically and statistically accurate. in the '80s be spent nearly $15 billion more on police and the crime rate soared. in recent years we actually had national cuts, cuts on state levels, for police and for la

leslie? >> look, you look at portland and you look at the facts, by the end of june, largely there were hardly any violent outbursts. and when the feds came on the scene at the beginning of july, the violence did increase. at first the feds were there and their responsibility the reason they were there is to protect federal property but when that non-sigh length protester was shot in the face and has suffered a skull fracture as a result, people got angry and then further got angry because spoke about freedom, harris, when unmarked vans were going around picking people up with individuals who did not have name tags, did not identify themselves, wearing military gash camo angarb camo and not m. not knowing why they were picked up. that's what the mayor of chicago fear it has gotten worse since the feds came into portland. >> harris: i have got to go. i want to give guy the last word on this. she said a lot there, leslie. any part you want to pick up on. >> i'm fine debating some of the tactics

what you make of it, leslie? >> well first of all, i find it interesting that charlie mentioned oprah winfrey and michael jordan, the two people that have been, as of late, very outspoken regarding the black lives matter movement. which as we know is a movement not just by blacks or people of color, but by whites as well for crying crying out regarding racial injustice. as a white woman, did i ever have difficulty in my life? absolutely. did i ever have to work really hard? absolutely. do i remember my mother having to use food stamps? absolutely. the difference is that when i wake up in the morning, or charlie, for that matter, being a caucasian male, we don't have to think about our race added into all of those elements of our daily lives. oprah winfrey had to and still does, michael jordan, any person of color does. so the difference is, a white person, and this is what white privileges about about, a white person doesn't have to take their color into consideration when they do things, when they make choices,

to sporting history now on a name that is largely forgotten ject leslie only a 100 years ago he should have been england's 1st black footballer on the national squad until recently very few had ever heard of him but heightened awareness of racial injustice has forced many organizations including english football to stay closer and more critical look at its history. a campaign to honor what would have been england's 1st black player jackie as he was caught up to the national team in 1925 but it's believed that when members of the f. 18 english football association saw that he was black the invitation was dropped for his family the exposure is non overdue and i just hope that a lot more stories of people you know and how they were treated also come out as a feeling that synonymous with f one of the black community and anyone who's mixed race stuff you know being left out or not picked for example he's the it was a great football of upon the father they picked in the. england it was a bit too much for some lesbian went on to have a successful career with english football club plymouth arg

leslie picker has more hi, leslie >> sounds like a nice problem to have, doesn't it deal making had actually been picking up now with the resurge unce of coronavirus cases mshgs of those would-be sellers are going back into hibernation mode. u.s. deal volumes so far this year have plummeted more than 60% from 2019 levels and several other deals signed last year fell apart before they were completed and now the recent spike in virus cases is causing a backdrop of high uncertainty creating headwinds to do large buyouts in more traditional industries says john gray. he is the president of blackstone which has an industry record $156 billion in dry pouder to invest >> we have shown a willingness to deploy capital and into the most impacted areas. but there tends to be a little more resistance to that as people want to sell into a little bit of a healthier market >> in addition to greater resistance from sellers, the pandemic is making it harder for deal makers to conduct negotiations and due diligence without physically income the same place, in the right place and without a strong sense of futu

here with her take today, seema modi, kate rogers and leslie picker >> thanks in part to $100 billion inflows as investors lead to fixed incomes due to coronavirus uncertainty leads to $7.3 trillion in uncertainty with blackrock liz, what should we be focused on with this number? >> when you look at blackrock, it's all about the flows of their businesses, and what was interesting and stood out to me was we saw about $4 billion in equity funds, which is surprising because of the appreciation we saw in the stock markets over the quarter then they sought inflows of about $60 billion. we saw a 30% increase in those products year over year. that's surprising because historically people haven't really turned to fixed income etfs as much as they have in equity etfs. in fact, the equity penetration is about 5%, fixed income is about 1% so far, so that was seen as a big bright spot of their earnings and the potential for that product moving forward. >> leslie, for some context, this was a strong quarter. that was partly expected because of the market rebound. q1 was disappointing, which i woul

good morning, leslie. thanks for coming on. >> good morning, natalie. >> well, first up here, the president has used dark and divisive language over this holiday addressing the country. he framed the hundreds of thousands of protesters demonstrating over race issues as, quote, nefarious left wing mob that intends to end america. what do you make of his words and his message that we've heard in the past two days? >> so i think we're seeing a president who is grasping for straws, who is desperate to hold on, who sees a country he is leading respond to a pandemic, a health crisis, and economic crisis on the scale that we haven't seen in decades, respond very poorly because of his leadership, and it's showing up in the polls. so president trump is doubling down on his racist narrative. he is looking to probably a hard-core of his base to mobilize them to energize them. but natalie, it's not working. if you look at the data that's coming out on, for example, the number of americans who engaged in the protests s

leslie, let me start with you. you heard me. i compared this trauma to what kids experienced watching 9/11. you are at ground zero of this latest crisis of police brutality, so i think about all of the videos, all of the moments captured on tape that you have been exposed to all of these years, and some without consequences, of black people being killed on camera. did you ever imagine that something like this would happen where you are? - i am, unfortunately, not surprised. i think for black people in america, white supremacy has always been the root issue for us and so i think that if you were asleep or if you had become elite, then maybe you had become comfortable enough to think that this was not our reality, but people who are still on the ground and who still, very much so, are impacted by the melanin that they have, i don't think they were surprised at all. this has been a long time coming. my hope is that our brother george floyd will be the last and that we can actually see some systemic reform and change because as i sa

with me now to discuss the president's>3u(jtt over the holidaye1 is leslie vinjamuri a chatham house, a think tank based in london. good morning, leslie,lp thanks r coming on. >> good morning, natalie. >> first up here, the president used dark and divisive language over this holiday, addressing the country. he framed the hundreds ofjf thousands of protesters demonstrating over race issues as, quote,fá nefarious left win mob that intends to end america. what do you make of his words and his message that we have heard in past two days? >> so i think we're seeing a president who is grasping for straws, who is desperate to hold on, who sees a countrye1 that h is leading respond to a pandemic, a health crisis, an economic crisis one1 a scale we haven't seen in decades respond very poorly because of his leadership and it is show up in the polls.çó so president trump is doubling down on his racist narrative, he's looking to probably a hard core of his base to mobilize them, to energize them, but natalie, it is not working. if you look at the data that is coming out on, for example, the nu

leslie is smiling. >> yep i have done his classes, too >> we'll let that one sit. >> next, new data shows after 12 straight weeks of rising occupancy hotels located in coronavirus hot spots now starting to see a decline in stays. seema, you've been following this story i guess there was a comeback and now a fall off >> yeah. starting to see a drop in hotel occupancy in states like texas and florida where covid cases are on the rise. but here's what's really interesting, if you look at the states that are seeing the strongest hotel occupancy trends, get ready for t idaho, montana, south dakota. these are not states that are popular tourist destinations over the summer, but it just speaks to how travelers preferences are changing post the pandemic this need for outdoor space, access to national parks that's driving more tourism into the states >> montana has had a low rate of covid throughout maybe my favorite state in the country, so georgeout out there. i went to idaho last year. they have had a bounce back in some cases in boise, as i recall, seema. >> you're right. so that's a trend to

so let's debate the law and order in our country the fox news contributor leslie marshall and author of a new "defender in chief post quote, john u. welcome to both of you. >> hey, shannon. >> hi, shannon. >> shannon: select start there and say most with this mccloskey couple. a local station there says the firearm from patricia mccloskey didn't work right so they said mike had addressable demented actually did fire and then it's considered lethal and that's not part of the charges. missouri police and prosecutors must prove that a weapon is readily capable of lethal use when it's used in the type of crime with which the mccloskeys have been charged, so john, is that something that prosecutors would normally do with a piece of evidence like this? >> no it's not. in fact, the mccloskey said the gun was a prop and was inoperable. and it raises fundament of questions about why the prosecutors going after the mccloskey's when instead they should be going after the people who were threatening them? this is especially so in a state where the governor apparently is already -- to pardon them
