president biden tonight is managing a high stakes military operation in the mid east, and a reelection fight here at home. national security adviser jake sullivan returning to the region while wanting additional strikes against iran-backed forces could come at anytime. on the political front, biden scored a resounding primary victory in south carolina, with 96% of the vote. we will speak with palm meadows, state congressman jim clyburn in just a moment about the first official democratic contest of the season. but as biden shifts his focus to the next primary state of -- a new nbc news poll out today

showed biden's approval rating nationally is not a new law. and americans say they on issues like immigration and the economy. one silver lining in the numbers, he holds on to a slim lead and a hypothetical former president should be convicted of a crime. -- south carolina congressman jim clyburn. thank you for joining us. , before we get into politics, with the retaliatory strikes we've seen conducted by the u.s. against iran-backed forces in the middle east. obviously, the situation is still unfolding. but are you satisfied with how the administration has been carrying these operations so

far? >>, think you very much for having me, reverend. yes,. we have to retaliate. we not escalate. and that's exactly what the president is doing here. his administration is doing what i surgical strikes to demonstrate the american soldier, or any american, we will respond appropriately. -- coming up, invading another country, as some people. but it means letting people know that this is the price you will pay, and do it in such a way that you don't escalate things, and not be held responsible for starting another war. >> now, let's state in yesterday's primary. the first primary of the

season, and the first time it was in a state that was more diverse, and largely responsible for you being able to get the president to support. but president biden and vice president both used campaign events in south carolina to try to re-connect with black voters. in particular, who are, as you well know, critical to biden's 2020. you helped deliver that state probably more than anyone. from what you've seen on the ground, for them to vote? >> very much so. very successful. , i pointed out earlier today, someone i was -- going through the counties. it's kind of, in south carolina

-- and in that county,, and -- , that he is just -- anything else. , you can interview people, -- , . you can ask maybe has delivered. when you deliver,? ,, -- ,? .

,,,. ,? . . . ,. -- . , --

>>. and for the next four big news and then and only what i don't know exactly why the concerned about what's going on with israel in a lot, i think -- >> from the president and the vice president's campaign -- clear up some misnomers. for example, i got a lot on my radio show, and even traveling with the national action network, people are saying, well, we didn't get george floyd, but we didn't get justice in policing act, george floyd. we didn't get john lewis, and we didn't get them because republicans voted unanimously against them. and the president, even when we didn't get george floyd, did what he could with an executive order named after george floyd, and did it as president. and i think if people understand that -- he wasn't all in on those issues, is that we couldn't get the republicans wanting to listen to democrats -- and the same thing happened with john lewis. nobody knows better than you. you stood on a platform when we brought george floyd -- when

the president signed that executive order. and you -- try to get both bills for you. we had a block. and that's what this election is about. it's removing the blocks. >> absolutely. all of those things you just mentioned, it -- in the house. and nevada. we passed those things. and send them over to a senate. as you said, he got held up in the senate. then, there are other instances like with student loan debt. rather than 137 billion, it could've been 167 billion if the supreme court had not ruled against the president. that's almost -- who will blaine president biden for the elimination of roe v. wade? he did not do that. the supreme court did. so you can't, oh, the president was responsible for a white

leanings supreme court, and that's what happened with the student loan debt -- that is what is happened with other issues, especially the voting rights. the voting rights that you're trying to restore, that was taken away by the supreme court. roberts led the opposition to the 1965 -- so they blame the president. for a right-wing supreme court when the guy -- but the three people that made this a super conservative supreme court. so that's not -- angry here. -- let's go ahead and do what is necessary to reelect this person who is doing everything we've asked him to do, and we'll do it even if we had a sympathetic supreme court and some support on the republican side.

>> yeah. and i tell people all the time, the people that said they didn't vote in 2016, because they didn't see the difference between hillary and trump, -- three of those people on the supreme court that did all that you mentioned. south carolina's republican primary is in 20 days from now, and it could prove pivotal for your former governor, nikki haley. a greater willingness to president trump recently, nbc news poll shows she performed trump and a hypothetical matchup with biden. do you think l.a. has a chance to surprise some people in south carolina? or is trump's grip on the republican base too strong, congressman? >> oh, she has a chance to surprise a lot of people. and, she -- go on in this race.

if she gets in -- i think that she will be alive. but if she stays, 20 or 28 point loss that people are predicting, then she is in a real difficult situation going forward, because the funders will not be there. but if there's a trajectory here so that she is coming out of new hampshire, 12 or 13 points, comes out the other side with seven or eight points, it will -- trajectory that will allow hard to stay in the funding -- but that's what it's gonna take. and i don't see that happening. >> all right. thank, you as always, for being with us, congressman jim clyburn. it's on to the next primaries this coming week in nevada. let's welcome congressman steven hosford. he's a democrat in nevada, and also the chair of the congressional black caucus.

congressman, thank you for joining us tonight. we have a lot to get to, but we're starting with your reaction to the retaliatory strikes the u.s. launched against iran-backed targets in syria on friday, and separately, against the rebels in the red sea region last night. as our involvement in the middle east conflict grows, in part because of the israel- hamas war, are you worried about what it could mean for democrats and the president in this election year? >> well, thank you for having me, reverend. i'm actually live here in nevada, which is a rural part of my district, we're here celebrating our -- vote for the president. later, i will be joining the president for an event in the historic westside part of my

district. but first, as you said, my prayers go out to the three soldiers who played the ultimate price, their life, in the course of their duty. the president received there remains, it is so important for us to the most qualified, serious, compassionate commander-in-chief president joe biden, so that we can not only protect our interests here domestically, but that were leading around the world. and so, yes, i think we will continue to do what's necessary to hold those responsible, and president biden has indicated he will do just that. >> now, results are in from south carolina's democratic primary. the first nominating contest for democrats. and in this case, the first real test of the presidents report with the black voters that were pivotal to his nomination. an election as well four years

ago because of the enthusiastic black vote. as cbc chair, what have you heard from your members and from black voters since the results came out of biden's convincing win? of biden's convincing win? mr. clyburn, who you just had on your show. and of course, the president and his campaign chairman -- in the dnc. not only did you see historic turnout, but you also saw a higher percentage of african americans voting in south carolina. here in nevada, we have already seen 93,000 people turned out, that's higher than the turnout four years ago. and we still have the actual election on tuesday. we are seeing a lot of energy here in mosquito, throughout the state, because we understand what is, what is on the line and what is at risk.

we have a clear choice between a strong leadership of president biden and vice president harris, and the failed agenda that we have already experienced under donald trump. so cewe are excited here in nevada, and we are going to deliver another historic win to the president and to the vice president on tuesday. but we have a lot more work, today -- and it is not only first in the west, and it is a battleground state. so we matter in nevada. >> the white house is touting a strong january jobs numbers this weekend. the u.s. economies added more than 350,000 jobs in january. according to the labor department, -- our 3.7%. some democrats have been critical of the presidents reelection campaign, emphasizing the biden economy. as a talking point, because the strong economic numbers have yet to result in a boost of

approval ratings. looking at this new jobs report, what are your thoughts on that, now that primary seasons has officially opened up to democrats? should there be pushing the presidents economic achievements here? >> well, the presidents economic achievements are the peoples economics achievements. i commend president biden and vice president harris two -- and democrats in congress who passed the historic legislation that the people demanded us to pass. that is what is creating 14.8 million jobs, the most of any president in the first three years of their presidency. this is what we have been seeing with the tremendous gdp growth and economic recovery. we have also seen historic small businesses being started here in nevada. we have had 185,000 new small businesses started just in the last three years. i have the sba minister and the vice president here last, week

talking about opening more access to loans and support to access to capital. so it is not only about jobs, but it is also about economic prosperity and wealth building. yes, we want good paying jobs, labor jobs, but we also want to be the creators of wealth, and create those opportunities for every community, regardless of the zip code, and regardless of what area of the country that is happening in. >> you mentioned nevada, the next democratic primary that will be in your home state on tuesday. president biden's campaigning, and now you say you will be joining him shortly. republicans will hold their caucus two days later. what are your predictions in both contests, mister chairman? >> well reverend sharpton, president biden is going to have another big win here in nevada on tuesday. i know because there's a lot of energy, we understand the stakes. but we also, we also are not

taking anything for granted. we know that there is a lot of work to do. president biden carried nevada four years ago with 2.4% of the vote. and, yes donald trump has been here, he was here in my district last week. i expect that he and the maga republicans that follow him will also come here. but the difference is presidentr biden is fighting for economic opportunity for everybody. he is striving for a woman's right to make her own health care decision. he is fighting to make college more affordable, so that students and parents don't have to -- . he is fighting to make sure that we lower the cost of housing. what is donald t trump doing? he is trying to prevent border security legislation from passing, because cuhe doesn't want america to have a win. forget about the politics of the issue, let's focus on the real issue that is facing america. donald trump asked black america four years ago, what do you have to lose? and then he appointed the most conservative supreme court

justices, and because of that, our rights for women, for the lgbtq -- for people of color, for voting, have been eroded. but we have a message for donald trump, we are not going back, and we will not be silenced. >> we are all celebrating black history month. but i was disturbed this week by the news that a statue of jackie robinson was stolen from a wichita kansas park. and later found burned beyond repair, in a trash can. thankfully, major league baseball will replace the statue this wednesday. the pro baseball pioneer won 105th year. and the mlb has also pledged funding for the primarily urban youth league that uses the park in honor of robinson's famous number 42. but still congressman, what do you take away from yet a now they're frmonument to a black trail blazer, being vandalized,

as we open black history month in this political climate? >> well as you just said, we are starting black history month. and what do we have? we have a tragic incident where these vandals stole jackie robinson statue, and later it was found burned. what does that say about the nature of the civility, and our politics, the attacks on blackness and black people in n this country. we talk about our history and the systemic racism and discrimination. there are some who want to rewrite this history, deny that slavery even existed. they don't want to associate it as a cause, for the civil war. but these are the issues that still remain. and this is why we need the strong and resolute leadership p of president biden and vice president harris, to bring us together as a nation, not to divide us.

to build up our communities, not to tear them down. so i commend the mlb and the jackie robinson foundation, the congressional black caucus stands with them to make sure the legacy of jackie robinson continues to be honored. >> talking about legacy, i'm out of time, but i must ask you briefly about the congressional black caucus standing with the rest of many of us around the legacy of joe madison, the black -- who we lost this week, who had been a voice and an activist for so long. no one had a greater legacy, in my opinion, and i worked with him anthrough many things over decades. and i was happy to see the caucus raise the legacy of joe madison. thank you for being with us. >> -- thank you reverend sharpton. our love and respect to joe madison, and to all of the journalists who helped lift up democracy, and the freedom of

press. thank you reverend sharpton for what you do. great to be on your show today as well. >> all right, thank you to the chair of the congressional black caucus, and congressman in nevada stephen -- . and it's something that will be a much interest to all of you tonight, at nine pm eastern. our very own -- and charles coleman junior present black men in america, the role to 2024. a documentary features interviews with myself, and some of the country's most prominent black men in the worlds of politics, civil rights, and music. it's an honest look at one of america's most overlooked voting demographics, black men. take a look. >> as black men, 2024, what's the biggest thing you are listening for, in terms of someone who is asking for your vote? one issue. >> equal protection under the law.

>> criminal justice. >> everything else can begin and end if we are protected to live under the law like everybody else. i can't do nothing dead. >> economic freedom y'all. once we have economic freedom, you know, all the other freedoms are attainable. education, quality health care, making sure you got good policing kiin your community. but right now, -- reverend al -- going to have to -- because black people couldn't even afford life insurance. >> my thing is like, something that's going to directly affect my community. because from being a rapper, a lot of those issues, it's theire fuss to clean up, you know him saying. when people call my phone, it's the holiday season. people call my phone all the time, they need things to the kids, they can't do certain things. so anything that is going to affect my community, i'm saying we're going to take a load off of us, and take a burn of off of our -- shultis i'm all 14 that's what i'm going for. >> once again, black men in america, the road to 2024

premieres tonight. right here on msnbc at nine pm eastern. coming up, a tv commentator knows why three black americans, brave black american soldiers, died in a drone attack in jordan last week. i'll tell you after a short break. tell you after a short break. heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat could mean something more serious, called attr-cm a rare, underdiagnosed disease that worsens over time. sound like you? call your cardiologist and ask about attr-cm.

every election year, far-right republicans try out some new buzzwords to demonize racial progress. in 2020, it was critical race theory, which some conservatives claim was warping our educational system. you don't hear much about crt anymore, not because it went away, but because it never existed as a mainstream academic subject in the first place. the new bogeyman is something

they refer to as the e i. but i'll call it what it is, diversity, equity, and inclusion. it's the simple idea, that jobs and educational opportunities should be available to all, regardless of race, gender, or any other defining characteristics. and so we should strive to make sure our classrooms and workplaces look like the society we live in. it sounds completely reasonable. two thirds of americans said they approved of affirmative action in college admissions, just last year. but in the minds of some right wingers, diversity is a thing to be feared. a mechanical problem caused a door to fly off in alaska airlines flight in december, elon musk tried to say diversity efforts were to blame. conservative commentator charlie kirk, took things a

step further, saying he's scared to fly with a black pilot, because he's not sure that they'll be qualified. but all of this pales in comparison to comments from foxes maria bartiromo, after a drone attack in jordan last weekend that left three american soldiers dead, all of them black. take a listen. >> maybe they're focused too much on the ei. there is a concern at the fbi, because they are dropping the fbi special agent requirements in the name of dei. i'm just wondering if that has anything to do with missing an important drone that just killed three of our heroes, congressman? >> it is despicable that anyone would dishonor the memory of those fallen heroes and their families, in the name of, just asking questions! and here is the thing. diversity isn't some new fad in

our armed services. soldiers of color have been the backbone of our fighting force for a very long time. black americans in particular go above and beyond the call of duty, making up 17% of the military while they are just 12% of the civilian population. our conservative supreme court even exempted military academies from their ban on affirmative action. a friend of the court brief filed by 35 military leaders said inclusive recruitment efforts are vital to our national security. the fact that these anti- diversity keyboard warriors find themselves on the opposite side of the battle lines from real soldiers, should tell you everything you need to know about the sheer lunacy of their position. diversity is not some hidden agenda, secretly at the root of all of our country's problems.

welcome back to politicsnation. let's bring in my political panel. joining me now is doug jones, former u.s. senator of alabama, and carlos carballo, former congressman of florida. doug, earlier today, i ran -- -backed houthi rebels vowed to respond to the american and british strikes that hit 36 target in 13 locations in yemen yesterday. this follows the retaliatory strikes the u.s. launched friday, against more than 85 iran-backed targets in syria and iraq. five days after three american soldiers were killed.

the u.s. is trying to deter a growing threat from iran-backed groups, across the middle east, while also trying to prevent the conflict from escalating even further. how well does the biden administration seem to have handled the situation? >> you know rat, first of all rev, let me make a personal point by going back to your interview a few minutes ago. let me lend my voice to the millions out there expressing the sadness over the death of -- joe madison. i was on his show many times, and he was a fourth of -- force of nature, and will be truly missed in our discourse today. >> absolutely. >> i really do think that the biden administration is handled this appropriately, they were measured, they didn't overreact, they didn't under react, they took their time. this is not the first time that we've lost american lives, with houthi-backed rebels and other iranian proxies. so i think right now, the administration and our allies in europe, and that's a really important piece of this, that

he is also enlisting our allies in europe to join us in responding to these attacks. and i think you are going to see him continue to be a aggressive, and i think that we will continue to send a strong message to keep things contained, and keep this war contained, and hopefully work towards a cease-fire very soon. >> carlos, some republicans including house speaker mike johnson are questioning the timing and telegraphing of these strikes. what is your reaction to this criticism? >> well rev, it's an election year. and unfortunately, politics does tend to take over. i think it is important when dealing with threats like the houthi rebels, and all of the groups that iran is sponsoring, for the united states to speak with one voice. i think it is important for the republican leadership to say look, while we might have policy differences, we do support the fact that the administration is responding, that the administration is holding our enemies accountable for killing americans. so, it is an election year, and

i think we can expect the politics to intensify as we get closer to that november date. but when it comes to these foreign policy matters, when american troops get attacked -- up >> all right, i think we are having problems with carlos. doug, let's switch gears to a new nbc poll showing that donald trump leads president biden by five points in a hypothetical match up. however, trump and biden are in a statistical tie, with latino voters and young voters. meanwhile, biden is down 19 points with independents, compared to trump. now the numbers are concerning for biden, but he still has some time between now and the election. as you look at this poll, where would you start to try to turn things around? which voter groups are most

open to circling back to biden, in your judgment? >> well i think you've got the independent voters, i think there's any number of the biden coalition that he put together in 2020. you know, rev one of the things that is not at all of these polls is you've got to remember, there is a large part of the american public right now that donald trump has completely swayed in his lies that biden stole the election. and they think he is an illegitimate mid president. and so those numbers are also built into that. i think when you look at what he is doing, this campaign is just now getting into focus. and we had a republican primary system, in which republicans didn't attack donald trump, they didn't talk about. it only just now has nikki haley really started to step up the attacks, and tell the american people about donald trump in the republican party. and i think as you see a little bit more of that, and as this focus goes on, i think what joe biden has done is extraordinary record over 50 years. plus his extraordinary record

as a president, and a growing economy, the strongest economy in the world. i think that people will get that message, and it will move back to the biden category. >> carlos, i've got to ask you about nikki haley -- poking fun of donald trump that night on snl, take a listen. >> are you doing okay donald? you might need a mental competency test? >> you know what i did, i took the test, and i wasted okay, perfect score. they said 100 percent mental. and you know, i'm confident, because i'm a man, that's why a woman should never run our economy. women are terrible with money. in fact, a woman i know recently asked me for 83 point $3 million. [laughter] >> and you spent $50 million in your own legal fees? do you need to borrow some money? >> oh nikki, don't do this nikki. nikki -- nikki don't lose that number, nikki haley. joe -- nikki haley -- we color, six cents remember that one. i see dead people.

>> yeah, that's what voters will say if they see you and joe on the ballot. >> that's not very nice nikki. >> nikki haley doesn't have a problem going after trump now. did she wait to light? >> well reverend, i think that is exactly the point. we are seeing now what a campaign could look like when a candidate does not fear donald trump, and isn't afraid of perhaps alienating some of his supporters. this is the campaign that nikki haley should have always run. this is the campaign that ron desantis and all of the other republicans should have. one you are never going to beat someone by fearing them, by following them and trying to imitate them. haley is doing it now, it is probably too late, but to be fair, it is still early in this primary season, she is going into her home state, maybe she can show some competitiveness there and keep this fight going deeper into march and april. >> all right, doug jones and

carlos karmello, thank you both for being with us. shifting gears now, earlier this month, the democratic legislative campaign committee unveiled their 2024 roadmap memo, outlining the democratic groups election priorities and goals, as well as announcing, announcing a fund raising record target of $16 million. or joining you now is the president of the committee, heather williams. thank you for joining me today. let me ask. the d el-sisi is calling this year, calling this -- the year of the states. can you start by highlighting the key details of your goals for this election year? >> the states have never been more important. with the dobbs decision, so much of the work has been remained down to the states. and we know that this is where

our rights are being protected, and where we are making progress for not just the democratic party, but for people across this country. and when we think about 2024, we see real opportunities to protect what we have recently gained, in winning elections, to expand our power in places where there are real vulnerable republican majorities, and to continue to build power in the states. >> now earlier last week, the d el-sisi jumped in to a special pennsylvania state house race, whose outcome will determine control of the states lower chamber, which is currently evenly divided along party lines. with 50,000-dollar investment in two -- counties, 140 district, your aim is to elect democratic -- fro -- against republican candidates -- . this

special election is scheduled for the 13th. can you outline what exactly is at stake in bucks county pennsylvania? >> so democrats picked up the majority in the pennsylvania state house, in 2022. and this special election will be for the majority again, to return speaker joanna -- to the speaker's gavel, to really cement the majority of pennsylvania. it is really important that a state house -- there is republican control, and this democratic control in the state house, and this seat on, sorry on the 13th, will determine control of the chamber once again. >> now you are focusing on making this year the most important state legislative cycle in campaign history, as the deal cc is aiming to flip state chambers in states like arizona, new hampshire, and

pennsylvania. you are also seeking to build democrats numbers in red state legislatures such as georgia, kansas, north carolina, and wisconsin. why are these states so important for the democrats this year, and in the years to come? >> well yeah, this is where we know that our agenda, the democratic party agenda, the presidents agenda, is getting accomplished. and we saw incredible results in newly democratic trifecta is that came out of the 2022 election, looking at minnesota and michigan as a great example where we saw real progress being made for communities across those states, in real examples of what -- old state initiative looks like. and we look at november's elections, we see the same opportunities in, as you said, in arizona and in new hampshire. and this is so important, because the stakes could not be clearer. we know that a contrast between

republicans in states and democrats in states could not be clearer. we see republicans creating issues that don't actually exist. they are banning books, they are banning abortion. they are taking rights away, whereas democrats in leadership across the country in these states are expanding our rights. you want to know more and get involved, head to dlcc dot org, we love to have. you >> over the past several years following controversial legal decisions, such as issues such as abortion access in voting rights, lgbtq rights, gun laws. the importance of state legislatures have grown significantly, as these freedoms have been contested by gop, by the gop nationwide. how exactly do you plan to counter the republican narrative, seeking to out- organize the democrats on these issues? >> i just think the story could

not be clearer. in 2023, democrats in the states, in special elections across the country, over performed by an average of 6%. when faced with an actual decision, democrats are showing up. they understand the stakes, and they are seeing progress being made by democrats in their state house. policy moves so quickly in the states, and the opportunity to expand rights or take them away happens very fast. what we are seeing is democrats expanding those rights, voters showing up when it matters, and democrats winning. >> have you learned any specific lessons from the primaries held yesterday in south carolina? >> i think the thing that we carry with us, and a lesson that remains true i, think election after election for us in the states, is that democrats getting on the doors and into these communities,

these state legislative candidates having real conversations with the voters in their districts, is what matters most. those conversations are so rich in understanding of what the issues, are what people care about, why people care about them, what their hopes are. and those will remain, those conversations will remain a cornerstone of our elections in our campaign process, as we move all through 2024. >> all right, thank you, heather williams. after the break, to fearless women continue to fight for justice. to fight for justice. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt.

(fisher investments) at fisher investments, we're clearly different.

now for an update on the story we have reported here on politicsnation. last august, a lawsuit was filed by the american alliance for equal rights against the fearless -- black woman owned venture capital firm, which is a one stop shop for women of color entrepreneurs who are seeking guidance and financing to help grow their businesses. the lawsuit is over its grant contest program, which offers funding exclusively to black women entrepreneurs. attorneys have argued that the members who were unnamed in the lawsuit were excluded from the firms program because they were not black, and that they faced

additional harm from the illegal act of racial discrimination. the lawsuit is an initiative by edward gillham, a legal strategist behind the supreme court case, that dismantled affirmative action in college admissions last year. and then in september, the court appeals in atlanta, granted a motion for an injunction, which halted the program for the duration of the lawsuit. this week, fearless -- attorneys presented all arguments, in a federal appeals court in miami to challenge the temporary injunction. it goes without saying if this front is not allowed to give grants to black women, which is their mission, then similar nonprofits and charitable organizations will not be able to do it either. as president of national action network, i will continue to support the fearless fund effort for justice, and i
