many of them not even metro detroit. so detroiters are angry. they're fed up, but the fact that we have a strong relationship of members about our community has gone a long way, really quelling violence. you look at, you know, i'm not being critical of other cities, but when i look at chicago, for example, and i see what appears to be chicago residents rioting and looting, why is that? because these agitators have come in and they're inciting violence. >> i have to go beyond that because you have do have councils places like milwaukee, like seattle, supposedly representative of the people who are voting to defund the police. at the very moment we need them the most and yet you have a poll out, there is a "gallup poll," pretty legitimate poll, 81% of all african-americans in america want same amount of police in their neighborhood or greater number of police in their neighborhood. i'm wondering how much the representatives are representing what the people want? >> they don't. they absolutely don't, david. i know. i will take it a step higher. we

detroiters. everyone said, go home, you don't belong here. so really, and we don't retreat. so important, we don't retreat. you're not going to burn our city. >> laura: the concern so many americans have right now, i think, as they are seeing things escalate in other cities, the killings in chicago, the murder rate in new york, what's happened on the west coast and property damage and graffiti everywhere, people feel kind of hopeless. they feel like if you defund the police, are you going to call a community officer with what? how are you going to keep people safe? it's going to hurt the minority people and the underprivileged and at risk the most. >> absolutely. they are not talking about defending the police here. the protesters are and i've got to say this because i think it's important, when we talk about peaceful protesters, it transitions very quickly when you attack buildings, loot, attack police officers, that's not peaceful and that's the one thing we've done very well here, we support t

the democrats reacted to this democrats were not convinced at all by what postmaster general louis detroit had to say they're saying they are already seeing shocking delays in mail delivery they presented stories from constituents who been saying that they're not getting their purse scription medication in the mail on time or from small businesses who are suffering because when they ship out their product it takes a lot longer to get to to get to the recipients so they're losing business so democrats are not convinced lou detroit can actually run a smooth mail and election trump is long claimed that postal voting can lead to fraud is there any evidence of this quickly call. no there really isn't experts have spoken out multiple times saying that male unfolding as not any more susceptible to fraud than regular voting and that probably president trumpets person pushing this message so he can point back to it should elections not go his way and can say see this is all fraud i told you so from the beginning let's call a blank are there in washington for us thank you karl let's get a recap now

it happened here in detroit. we have relationships in our community. these outsiders just don't speak for us. elizabeth: i hear what you're saying. you know, let's take a listen to the mother of the man shot by police. she is saying, please don't use this violence, don't do violence in my son's name. she is asking for peace. watch this. >> my family and i are very hurt and, quite frankly, disgusted and as his mother, please, don't burn up property and cause havoc and burn your own homes down in my son's name. you shouldn't do it, people shouldn't do it anyway but to use my child or any other mother or father's child, for our tragedy, to react in that manner is just not acceptable. and it is not helping jacob. it is not helping jacob or any other of the men or women who have suffered in these areas. elizabeth: your reaction to that, sir? >> you know, liz, listened to her speech and i just applaud her. like so many mothers of those fatally shot in this situation, critical injury, i applaud her. the attorney representing that family, mr. crump, if you lis

i didn't want a single voter in detroit to choose not to vote by mail, out of a fear, you know, that one of the -- one of the, you know, warnings or, you know, false statements that was in the robocall would actually lead them to not vote. so, we called it what it was, voter suppression, an attempt at voter suppression. and we wanted to get the word out so that voters knew not to believe it. >> and this is -- this is what we need, in this moment. is for people to call out injustice, whenever they see it. so i commend you for doing it, and i thank you very much. how many people do you think got this call, rec secretary? >> we don't know. i'm grateful for the citizen that did reach out to wwj, a local news outlet here and enabled us to say if you know anything else, contact us. share it at elections.michigan.gov so we can be vigilant, alongside voters, to cut through the misinformation and rhetoric in the weeks ahead. >> in general, it is misinformation, as you said. but is this all about intimidating minority voters, suppressing turnout? >> well, it certainly seems that this is target

black people in detroit. epicenter of the urban crisis. said it on your program before. nation's largest black city. senator harris needs to come here and speak to people speaking in the streets. black lives matter movement, i would think, as a former prosecutor, should be in position to show the opposite, in fact supports criminal justice reform. supports ending equal phied community doctrine for police officers. supports those things coming out of the black lives matter movement. don't forget, john, joe biden is not without clean hands. he ordered the 1994 crime bill. there's still, still, a comment for that and now burden is on senator harris and joe biden himself to really say, look. this is what we plan to do. and can't continue anymore. able to demand to have a black person on this ticket shows that it can no longer be a status quo ticket. >> can i just say. >> please. go ahead. >> sorry about that, john. i just want to say, really, really briefly, you know, i think that it's important to understand her record in the senate as well. we talk about her record as a pr

to joy in a strongly worded statement released by top democrats today from congress they said that detroit is an accomplice who is helping the president in his campaign to steal the upcoming election now we saw about $100.00 protesters demonstrating outside the home of detroit over the weekend and there accusation is that after being installed as u.s. postmaster general being a trump mega donor that he then went on to carry on what they say is the president's plan to suppress mail in ballots they're accusing to joy of intentionally cutting back on workers our worst slowing down the mail processing time in order to so so on a lack of confidence in the results of the election out of joy denies that he says he's doing these measures to cut costs in the struggling agency but now a federal watchdog is investigating whether detroit is acting on be. half of the president's attack on mail in ballots we know president trump has said many times without evidence that expanded or universal mail in voting can cause can lead to massive voter fraud and we know that polls show that democrats tend to tend

heidi, from your reporting, what has fueled the renewed interest of black voters there in detroit? >> craig, just to confirm, that's the most ever even for a general election. according to black voters who i talked to, this has been building for some time. ever since the president came in promising black america a new deal and asking them what do they have to lose, then proceeding to roll back a number of obama-era policies ranging from affirmative action to police reform and then covid, of course, laying bear the structural inequalities in our health care system. nowhere has this become more evident than in places like detroit where so many families are affected by covid. one former state representative on detroit's east side, craig, told me that trump really showed us what we had to lose. take a listen to oriana powell who is a single mother who didn't vote in 2016 but told me this year is different. >> i would say i'm hopeful, absolutely hopeful. at this point i just feel like there's no way in the world we can actually tolerate this man being in office another four years, even

he is the eighth person in detroit's organization to be put on that list. nhl starts two 12 city, toronto for the east. edmonton in the west. sharks, of course, not involved this time around. actually it looks like hockey. big hits on ice, tussles and things of that. walnut creek, the number one pick drafted at liberty strained her left ankle last night on this play, stepped on another player's foot. she will be out with a month which unfortunately is a bad sprain. the team will only say she is being checked out. we wish her a speedy recovery. >>> tomorrow we got two great games for you. stay with us for after the game. it's back at want restand schools?pen? want the economy to get back on track? you're not alone. and you can help make it happen. stay 6 feet apart. wash your hands. wear a mask every time you leave your home. choose to join the fight against covid-19. do your part. slow the spread. >>> as we all fight the coronavirus pandemic, california is mandating face masks to stop the spread. that's why abc 7 wants to remind to you wear a mask for you,

to wealthy country club republicans in livingston county, which is a well-to-do excerpt of detroit and southeast michigan, and it's remarkable that on the one hand, katy, these voters tend to live in different universes in many respects. they consume different news, they spend their time in different social circles. they don't overlap a whole lot. except that when it comes to the core issues defining this election, and the things that are affecting them most, it's the same exact thing. they're worried about jobs in this sort of quasi-economic meltdown we experienced in recent months. they're worried about the government's response to covid-19, both past, present, and future, and the social upheaval and unrest they see manifesting itself in many ways. that's a powder keg for any incomdant president. this is a tremendously difficult hand to be dealt in election year, and obviously, the way trump has played that hand has only made it worse for him among that specific subset of voters we were talking about earlier. when you're watching the returns coming in on election night and watching t

. >> the last time these two shared a stage together was just over five months ago in detroit, where xhal kamala harris endorse biden. the daughter of jamaican and indian immigrants is the only third woman to serve as a major party nominee. biden says harris' relationship with his late son beau which was formed when they both served as attorneys general of california and delaware respectively, played a role in his decision to choose her as his running mate. but there was some doubt about their eventual partnership after the first democratic presidential debate, primetime, miami, florida, when senator harris launched a haymaker and confronted biden to his opposition of busing. however, as biden wrote on a note card that was widely seen, picked up by a photographer last month, he holds no grudges, to quote him, something that he made clear when he chose the candidate. we want to begin our coverage with our own andrea mitchell, a veteran of many presidential campaigns who joins us now by phone. from inside the ai dupont high school in wilmington, that part of country has been pounded by

caller: it is near detroit. it is on the edge of detroit. host: now, michigan is going to be a real battleground this fall in the election. differingaring opinions about the president then yours from your neighbors and friends? caller: well, my friends are mostly republican. who have a couple friends thinkting democrat, but i they don't understand what a wonderful man donald trump is. they saw something about him in the past that has turned them against him and i'm afraid they are not looking at all that he is doing. that is good for the country. host: thanks for calling in. timothy in des plaines, illinois. what did you think of the vice president's speech tonight? caller: i thought it was a great speech. i'm living in the suburbs of chicago and i'm extremely disturbed at what is going on in the city. i feel like the city is totally lost along with the state. it is very disappointing. i really have no idea who even votes for democrats anymore. i think they are a huge disappointment. villa, tennessee, democrat. your turn, sheila. caller: hi.

detroit river and he heard people screaming for help. three young girls were struggling to stay afloat in the river. mr. johnson handed his keys and cell phone to his daughter and jumped in the river to save the girl. after the girls reached shore safely, his daughter realized her dad had not returned. the riptide's had pulled him under. rescue workers found his body the next day. i think all of us here at "the five" want to say hats off to someone who sacrificed himself or others in a moment of urgent need. the detroit fire sergeant, rest in peace. >> dana: incredible person. >> kennedy: god bless him. may his memory be eternal. let's move to something more optimistic. there's been so much sadness. they are celebrating in the cincinnati zoo because you may have heard about panda being born in washington but look at this. the eastern black rhino, critically endangered rhino takes 16 months to gestate and when they are born they way up to 140 pounds. these black rhinos, very few of them left on earth. it's incredible news and that rhino's

the black voters in places like philadelphia, detroit, milwaukee, just to name three big cities in three key states that hillary clinton lost, that despite everything else that was out there and all the james comey stuff, it's a little windy here, excuse me, things are blowing, but despite all the other things, of course, those three states, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, had been won, she would be the president of the united states. so that's clearly a baseline strategy. and also a lot of other people across the country, diverse people, she has brought appeal to immigrants, coming from an immigrant family. indian-americans, that is her heritage as well, although she defines herself as black and has deep roots in the black community, was very active, went to howard university, is a member of a key -- the first black sorority, aka, going across the country for the alpha kappa people. we're seeing the broad appeal she has as well as being a great campaigner. i know people will say it is a virtual campaign but she has great appeal in that sphere as well. we saw her in that video, we

that is t call out cities,ne mostly black and brown, major urban areas like chicago and detroit, and try to suggest that those are democrat-run xis that -- xi cities that hasos exns of crime and violence and suggest that if joe biden it elected,t what's happening in chicago and detroit will be happening l over the country. that is sort of the explicit argument that mr. trump is trying to make but it doesn't appear to be working. the president's pitch is not reaching the white voters i it's not borne outn the polls. >> kaitlan, when i was in texas listening to the president, i kept hearing him railing against the lefting, the so-called mob. not a lot of talk of viid president. inside the white house, when you're talking to trump sources, ruld they rat run against that idea that characterization of the left, ratherhan biden himself? >> i think that's what they initially planned on doing w the democratic field was large and the views were eanve. but now what they're running into is that it's hard to label joe biden as that, because he's repeatedly pushe back on their efforts to do so, n
