it comes in the form of cori bush. last week, one cori bush said, and i want to make sure i get this right. we need to defund your police while she will spend whatever it costs to protect herself while she quote, unquote, does the work. jillian: i guess we're more than a year into this whole conversation of he defunding the police and i'm not quite sure what those who are still calling to defund the police see that maybe the rest of us don't see, that this isn't necessarily a good thing when you have fewer officers on the street, when you have officers on the street who feel so scrutinized that some of them say they have a hard time even being able to perform their daily duties because when you have even an ounce of doubt in your head, that's going to mess up the job that you do on the street as an officer. the second you hesitate, that changes the game. so i guess i'm just looking for more facts as to how defunding the police is possibly going to be a good thing in our communities, because you've seen polls out there,

cori bush is stupid. why? when you demonize the police, it leads to a rampant increase in violent crime. we have endangered the black community by waging this rhetorical war against the cops. homicides are up 50% right now, which is insane. the only upside to the video is if you listen close, you can hear republican strategists high-fiving in the background, because they are like "we've got a three day weekend. the ads are done." >> kayleigh: we have heard the press secretary say "it's okay if cori bush wants to say this, it's okay if she wants to promote defunding the police. if you are so adamant that we don't want to defund the police, why would you say "i condemn what members of my party are saying?" >> julie: i think democrats reps are celebrating, i agree with jimmy. for her to talk about how she needs $70,000 for security, and that she's willing to pay $200,000 or $10 -- i don't know where the heck -- it was confusing. she needs to take a breath and sit down and relax. these comments are, frankly, detri

it starts today with cori bush. she was the individual who basically said we need to defund your police, keeping in mind that a situation like this becomes easier when you defund police, there's fewer cops on the streets, cops have less protection and it's them versus the world with an emboldened public. two, she will spend whatever it costs to protect herself while she, quote, unquote, does the work. remember this? >> i have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now. i have private security because they, the white supremacists, racist narrative that they drive into this country, so suck it up and defunding the police has to happen. jillian: we spent a lot of time talking to chicago alderman anthony napolitano, we talked to him i feel like sometimes always weekly. he's based in chicago. knows what's going on in the streets there. we had him on in the last hour. i asked him if you were to have a sit down, face-to-face conversation with cori bush in light of the remarks that you heard. w

cori bush calling to slash the budgets of law enforcement. it puts the white house on the defensive. >> there may be some in the democratic party, including congresswoman bush who disagree with him. that's okay. i would say the majority of democrats, we've seen this in polling and the majority of members also agree that we should not defund the police. >> since the white house had to reiterate that president biden opposes defunding the police, the gop says democrats aren't consistent. >> we saw jen psaki and joe biden say they aren't the party of defund the police and make sure voters understand that's not true. they have prominent members of their caucus every week coming out and saying i want to defund the police. we need to defund the police. >> the fracture in the party is in trouble for democrats. democrats way down ahead of the mid-terms. >> nothing is as important as the candidate herself or himself, of himself putting their own authenticity out there. i'm very confident that we will win the house. >> moderate democrats from battlegrou

but one thing is clear and that is what that the power of the squad, and having cori bush who simply say, quote, something's got to happen, that the american people don't care about these rules and these rulings, yet the government saying it's okay to kick people out of homes, we've got to stop that. it just flys in the true face of democracy when have you no shortage by the way i should point out of democrats who love to point out that trump subverted democracy himself. howie: congresswoman bush slept on the capitol steps to protest the lack of action on the white house. the washington posted tore y'all said what biden had the cdc do is almost certainly illegal. when donald trump took money from other departments to fund the border wall, the press went hey wear, said he had no -- hayt hay wire. >> it's like they haven't a different standard, depending on the person, whether they a agree with them idea logically. it's absurd. i think what people should take away from this experience is that the next time that you have an entity from the press come out and pound on the table and defen

host: missouri democratic cori bush in her interview with "the hill" newspaper. we are asking you, should the federal eviction moratorium be reinstated? stephen and massachusetts on that line for those facing eviction. . caller: good morning. how are you. this moratorium, i do not think it has anything to do with me, but i caught between a rock and a hard place. i am being evicted. they have been trying to evict me for the last year and a half. i have lived here for eight years and paid my rent every single time. but the problem, i think, is because the landlords now, because of the moratorium and because everyone is being evicted, is they want their money back. so when i go look for an apartment, i pay $1000 a month and i'm on social security disability, the rents now in my area are $1500 to $1600 for a one-bedroom. and for a room, they want $1100 a month. i only do about $1400 a month. i understand the moratorium has nothing to do with me, but what does someone like me do? host: would you move out of your area and try to find a cheaper area to live in? you are

that is nothing compared to the bill that cori bush of missouri hass racked up. in less than three months this year, cori bush spent nearly $70,000 in campaign funds for her own personal police force. and at the same time she was surrounded by armed bodyguards that donors were paying for, she was calling for you to lose your police protection. she was asked on wednesday how exactly this works, and as you watch this tape, imagine the reaction of the chinese in beijing as they watch this. jaws open thinking "this is who runs the united states? we are in good shape." ladies and gentlemen, cori bush. >> i'm going to make sure i have security because i know i have had attempt on my life and i have too much work to do, too many people thatan need help for me to allow that. end up spending $200,000, if i spent ten more dollars on it you know what,t, i get to be hee to do the work, so suck it up and defunding the police has to happen. we need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets because we are trying to save lives. >> tucker: i'm going to make

congresswoman cori bush is saying that they were nonviolent. correct me if i'm wrong, they broke down the gate. didn't they make specific threats toy human to your wife, very specific threats? >> they threatened to kill us. they threaten to rape my wife. they threatened to kill our dog. threaten to take and burn our house. they threatened everything you can imagine. they said your business is gone. rywe are talking hundreds of people. all screaming every kind of violence you could possibly imagine. this is the same crowd that had burned downtown st. louis, shot four policevi officers that nig, killed a retired police captain, david dorn. in the month between when they stormed st. louis when they stormed my house they shot a total of ninee police officers n st. louis and i'm supposed to believe they are nonviolent? >> sean: i would say that's not the definition of nonviolence. you're running for the u.s. senate.. tell us about it. >> i sure am. that was kind of an awakening. as i said before, god came knocking on my door disguised as an angry mo

you spoke with one of the members of congress who is leading in this protest, cori bush. what did she tell you? >> reporter: well, look, cori bush has been out here all weekend on and off and trying to raise awareness that the eviction moratorium expiring is a crisis for maniles of americans. nancy pelosi believes it is the white house and the administration's responsibility to take action next. but cori bush said she doesn't care who is ultimately responsible, she thinks the house needs to act. on friday, nancy pelosi tries to ensure that democrats have the votes necessary in order to pass this but they just never got there. they brought a bill to the floor trying to get unanimous consent but it was blocked. speaker pelosi argued that it is republicans blocking but this but don't have the democratic votes. here is what cori bush said when i asked her what should come next. >> we're working to make sure that people know that the house, that the democratic house is standing up for them. we cannot have the majority and put 7 to 11 million people on the street. so let's get

in the way i see it is when cori bush said wait a minute i know with this is like, she spoke from the heart, and she rallied people all across this nation. she said this is an important moment. people started pushing back and set in the middle of a pandemic, we're not gonna throw families out on the street, we're not gonna tell people to get out and couch surf and double up with relatives. it's the wrong thing to do. we're gonna take a little more time and spend the money that congress has already allocated to protect the landlords and protect the tenants. i think we saw happen is power to the people on this one. >> okay, so what you said is so important, i want to hammer this on. i have got an email, of thoughtful email from a viewer last night who is a landlord, and said look, i don't want to put anyone out on the street in a pandemic, actually think that they should renew the moratorium, but, it's untenable situation, there are a lot of landlords that are extremely wealthy and can manage it, but for some of them they can't. i wrote back i said yes, you're in luck, this is the crazi

congresswoman cori bush is saying that they were nonviolent. correct me if i'm wrong, they broke down the gate. didn't they make specific threats to human to your wife, very specific threats? speak of threatened to kill us. they threaten to rape my life. they threatened to kill our dog. threaten to take and burn our house. they threatened everything you can imagine. they said your business is gone. we are talking hundreds of people. all screaming every kind of violence you could possibly imagine. this is the same crowd that had burned downtown st. louis, shot four police officers that night, killed a retired police captain, david dorn. in the month between when they stormed st. louis when they stormed my house they shot a total of nine police officers in st. louis and i'm supposed to believe they are nonviolent? >> sean: i would say that's not the definition of nonviolence. you're running for the u.s. senate. tell us about it. >> i sure am. that was kind of an awakening. as i said before, god came knocking on my door disguised as an angry mob.

congresswoman cori bush a blm support are -- supporter knows biden is weak. she demanded biden get in line and he did. >> we know how to put our bodies on the line like this. ferguson and st. louis taught me that. stand up. presence makes all the difference. it doesn't matter what you are faced with. rubber bullets or real bullets or white supremacy. there were dogs and tear gas that we were fighting against trying to save black lives. here it was structures. >> laura: what structures does she want to break through without legislative authority? what happens when aoc and cori bush tell biden that workers can never be fired? is that the structure? the businesses of all sizes must play for employee healthcare and no students have to pay back student loans? one would think that our reporters, anyone with even an iota of a sense of fairness would have tough questions for biden and the democrats. how could the cdc even have the authority to it make landlords go broke? why didn't congress raise this issue on the floor and try to do it the old-fashioned way, pass le

people like cori bush don't care. lori lightfoot does not care. joe biden does not care, kamala harris does not care, and is do you know why? they have made police officers the target in america. they have glorified criminals making cops the bad guys. kamala harris said she was prout prout -- proud of him,. is that someone that we should be proud of as a society? cities like new york putting up statues of george floyd, a man who along with his friends robbed a house and put a gun to a woman's stomach. is that someone we should be lionizing as a society? do you start to see the problem of why we have criminals acting with impunity and police officers being gunned down in our streets? we need to rethink this thought process, and democrats are to blame, particularly the ones who have called for defunding the police in america. >> what do you think, gianno, last thoughts on this? is it that they don't care or don't know what to do? i mean, this has been a problem that's been underway for a long time in chicago. what are your final thoughts on this? >>

gerry: suck it up that was cori bush who is willing to dish out $200,000 to pay for owned private security but still insist on protecting everyone else. you and i have to rely on the police the demonized and defunded by democrats whereas democratic congresswoman can pay for their own privacy and absolutely safe. >> we seen this across-the-board democrats hanging private security while making normal people's lives more dangerous, she should speak to the women in chicago and minneapolis in new york and los angeles and oakland, san francisco where it's dangerous to walk outside of your home where your children are in danger, those are the people that have somewhere to be, those of the people that live there in equal danger and how dare she dismiss them as not as important to her, not as important people in general, it's unacceptable and i think were gonna hear about that in the elections but this arrogance and superiority, enough is enough. , very briefly a lot of moderate democrats and there are still some saying this defunded the police really hurt them in the election they lost them in the

so first of all what do you make of the cori bush quote? i may say it is just a member of congress don't take her seriously but she just persuaded the president to reimpose the addictions band single-handedly so she has some clout. what do you make of that statement quick. >> she has a lot of support i take are completely serious what she has is a position of progressive democrats running america city marielle bowser in washington dc and lightfoot in chicago. the district attorney in chicago. this is what they think they think too many young black men are in jail too many black men get arrested if the answer to that is to let them out of jail don't arrest as many of them and deter the police and send in social workers. we have to look at the result across the country. skyrocketing violent crime that is a near-term result so a mistake has been made and the fascinating thing is progressives like cori bush or muriel bowser will not a bad anything has been a mistake they push forward with these ideas rather than sitting down and revisiting the
