2:01 pm
young voters summit in atlanta where vice president harris just delivered a virtual address less than a week after her entry into the 2024 race as a presidential candidate. we will bring you the highlights in just a moment but
2:02 pm
democrats are rallying around the vice president as she narrows the list of candidates for her own running mate, just three weeks ahead of the democratic national convention. we will hear from senators cory booker and john also on how harris has changed the race andc the electoral map for democrats. plus, the police killing of sonia massey in illinois, springfield, illinois. this month, she was killed and it has got the attention of the white house with vice president harris reaching out to massey's family to offer their condolences and calling for action in congress. we will hear today from massey's father and civil rights attorney, the attorney general black america, benjamin crump, who is representing the
2:03 pm
family. the shooter faces first-degree murder charges and i, and the rest of the civil rights community demand justice for sonya. all that ahead tonight on politicsnation. 20 me henow is -- 20 me no is democrat. let me start by saying, kamala harris' entry into the presidential race coming at the end of a protracted crisis among democrats has literally changed the contest and with that, republicans expectation on how to run against donald trump's opponent, which we will get to. first, here is the vice president addressing young voters virtually at a summit in atlanta, your own state, just moments ago. >> we know young voters will be key. we know that your vote cannot be taken for granted. it must be earned and that is
2:04 pm
exactly what we will do. there is so much at stake this november. our most fundamental freedoms, the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride and the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body without the government telling her what to do. >> what is your impression of the vice president's first week of the presumptive democratic nominee, senator? >> reverend al, thank you for having me. i think that the vice president 's launch has been spectacular. it has exceeded my expectations and my expectations were high. she rapidly united the democratic party behind her candidacy, seized the momentum in this head to head race against former president trump and she is electrifying volunteers and grassroots democrats across the country. she has put georgia in play. we now have a statistical tie in georgia and you know, that for years, georgia has been, and it will remain, a key battleground state. our two senate runoff victories
2:05 pm
in january 2021 were essential to unlocking the opportunity to make a real difference legislatively, by gaining the senate majority. this party won here in 2020. the prospects in georgia are excellent. >> vice president harris was a california co-chair for senator barack obama's 2008 residential bid. she campaigned for him and several states and credited his life as an inspiration when she ran for california attorney general later that year. this week, barack obama and michelle obama endorsed harris for president. that moment captured in a video when they thanked her for support. what does this endorsement from our first whand only black firs couple add to the vice
2:06 pm
president's momentum? id >> i think it was strategically timed and well-timed to continue building momentum and enthusiasm. it speaks to this extraordinary groundbreaking and historic opportunity that we have to break a glass ceiling in american politics and american history that i think many, just a few years ago, would have thought inconceivable. the opportunity to see the first black woman behind the resolute desk in the oval office, it is an opportunity that i can ensure you is going to mobilize massive turnout and volunteer enthusiasm in the state of georgia and across the country. >> take a listen to what former president trump had to say about the vice president last night. ni >> she was a bomb three weeks ago. she was a bomb, a failed vice
2:07 pm
president in a failed administration. >> earlier this week, senator, house republicans literally had to hold a closed door meeting, instructing their members to refrain from attacking vice president harris over her race or gender after several members did exactly gthat after the candidacy was announced. the common refrain being that the former state and urban prosecutor, u.s. senator and sitting vice president is a so- called dei hire. how did you think voters will react to these kinds of attacks on harris from trump and his allies if they continue? >> it is clear that the former president and his allies in congress are having esa very difficult time restraining themselves from levying these kinds of overtly racist and sexist attacks against vice
2:08 pm
president harris but i can assure you, reverend al, that here in georgia, that strategy will backfire in rea spectacula way. it is a sure path to mobilizing outraged, indignant, and determined voters to get out to the polls, to send a message that this is not what georgia is about, that is not what the united states is about. and act, vice president harris' candidacy is a symbol of what america can be as we realize our highest ideals and open opportunities at the highest levels for people of all backgrounds. >> georgia was kiefer president biden's 2020 success but recent polling showed him trailing donald trump in the peach state ahead of november. new reporting suggests that vice president harris' entrance into the race has narrowed trump's lead in georgia and
2:09 pm
reenergized demoralized democrats in the state. does vice president harris put georgia back in play, senator? >> look. i think this is a true tossup race in georgia. by now, folks across the country are used to seeing just how narrow the margins will be in my state. the vice president will be here on thousand sign- ups here in georgia just over the past few days. i expect her to win georgia. it will take a mighty effort. ta the kind of effort we summoned here in georgia to deliver the state for president biden in november 2020 and to win those two historic senate runoff victories in 2021. >> before i run out of time, i want to talk about something very dear to you that you deserve a lot of credit for. this week, president biden
2:10 pm
signed a bill boosting oversight of our federal prison system following reports of rampant misconduct. the bipartisan federal prison oversight act, which you introduced in 2022 creates an independent inspector to investigate human rights complaints. directs the justice department's inspector general to stassess risk at all federal prisons in the u.s.. did this legislation come about? how does it address the problem? >> we have a civil rights and human rights crisis behind bars in the united states and as soon as i took office, i launched a series of investigations which revealed, for example, that in two thirds of present -- federal prison facilities that have house women, female inmates have been sexually assaulted by members of the staff. at one prison in dublin, in
2:11 pm
california, the endemic sexual abuse was so rampant and notorious that the prison became known as the rape club. at the prison, the chaplain and the warden engaged in the sexual abuse of inmates. another investigation that i let found that for at least a decade, there had been rampant corruption and human rights abuses at the federal prison right here in atlanta. pretrial detainees dressed in paper pajamas in their cells 23 hours a day, pests in the food, no access to hygiene, little s access to counsel. there is a serious crisis in america federal prison system. that is why i wrote this bill which is now law. the president signed it into law. it requires routine ongoing independent surprise inspections. it creates a new office to investigate allegations and
2:12 pm
complaints of civil rights abuses and it creates a new secure hotline for inmates, their family, or their legal representatives to file complaints outside of the chain of command at the prison where they are held. >> all right. we certainly think that is c necessary and we are going to stay on top of the follow-up. thank you for being with us, senator jon ossoff. yesterday, vice president harris called the family of sonya massey to enter her condolences after massey was shot and killed earlier this month in springfield, illinois by a former sheriff's deputy responding to her 911 call. we warn you that the police body camera footage of this encounter is graphic, showing a tense exchange between massey and former sheriff's deputy sean grayson , stemming from a pot of boiling water in massey 's kitchen which grayson says
2:13 pm
she attended to assault him with, warning her that he would shoot her, quote, in the effingham face if she did not distance herself from it. the footage shows grayson pointing a weapon at massey, apologizes, ducts behind the counter, rising briefly before grayson allegedly shoots her three times, including one to the head, which the county coroner identified as the fatal shot in this autopsy report. sonya massey was 36 years old with two children. sean grayson has pled not guilty to first-degree murder charges. next week, i will be in chicago on tuesday, helping to lead a rally as head of the national network network demanding justice for sonya massey along with ministers in chicago and of national network action and leadership network. 20 me now is a civil rights attorney and attorney general of black america, ben crump,
2:14 pm
who represents the family. we had technical difficulties trying to get the father and family members and. let me go with you, attorney crump. thank you, as always, for joining us and drawing attention to this case and politicsnation extends its deepest condolences to sonya's family. i will be there personally tuesday at the rally at 6:00 at the mount pilgrim baptist church on washington boulevard, 6:00 in chicago. sonya's family, especially her two teenage children are a concern. the family has launched a gofundme campaign to help with expenses stemming from her death, including a likely need for mental health counseling and support with that in mind. can you tell us how her children have been holding up? >> it is god awful when you think about what their new reality is.
2:15 pm
her 17-year-old son malachi is very emotional. he says he just does not have words because he would be there every day for his mother ran the one day that he had to work and he could not be there, the officer shoots her in her face. her 15-year-old daughter, summer, is in disbelief. they are having problems sleeping. her father, who you spoke to on the phone, had a quadruple bypass surgery in 2022 and he said, he believed if he had his own heart when he saw that video, he probably would have succumb because it is that the emotional. it is that shocking. >> you and i have seen many instances of police excessive force but this is the worst police shooting video ever because this was so senseless.
2:16 pm
it was so unnecessary. she said i rebuke you in the name of jesus. she is ducking saying sorry, sir, sorry. he shoots her anyway. this is why we need you on this one more than any other becauset this shocks the conscience in a way -- think about george floyd 's video and this is just as s consequential, especially leading into a presidential election this year. >> attorney crump, according to court records, sean grayson, this officer , pled guilty twice to driving under the influence of alcohol before his law enforcement career began and nbc is reporting he
2:17 pm
disclosed a history of alcohol abuse on a job application. he was working for his sixth -- one, two, three, four, five, six -- law enforcement agency in four years when he killed sonya massey. he is now facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count each of rsaggravated battery and firearm misconduct. what s -- else can you tell us about where things stand? >> a young nbc reporter has done a great job, being a journalist to keep sticking. jo that is critical because we now know that he had those six jobs and we know that he had unfounded allegations on his previous job at another sheriff's department before he came to sangamon county. we discussed with governor pritzker with the family, also,
2:18 pm
reverend al, we know that they found that he was not being honest in his police reports and they hofound that he was aggressive, allegations he was aggressive with citizens. this is on the tragic killing of sonya massey and breaking news . we understand that the police union is going to file a grievance of some kind on his behalf to see that he was e terminated without cause. when we are together on tuesday at the rally, we are going to address this. >> they are going to file a grievance about him being fired after the whole vaworld is seei this tape that he shot this
2:19 pm
woman because she was trying to do what he said about some boiling hot water after she called the sheriff's deputy to her house? ep they are filing a grievance? >> they are eyfiling a grievanc and he was terminated without cause. it does not really surprise me, reverend al, because they always try to justify these t unjustified killings. that is why tuesday in chicago, we will address this with the family and the press because we can't take for granted at all that he won't get a slap on the wrist like laquan mcdonald. you remember that video? >> absolutely. >> they convicted him and that the judge gave him a slap on the wrist. we are fighting for equal justice for sonya massey and until we get full justice for et sonya massey, we use her last , words . we rebuke you in the name of jesus, you discriminatory criminal justice system, until we get equal justice for this black woman.
2:20 pm
>> we will be there in chicago, 6:00 p.m.. we will have many of our affiliates in chicago. >> vice president kamala harris offered her son on the phone and her father condolences and expressed in such a special day . remember your mother with that beautiful smile. try not to remember the tragic way this so-called police officer killed her. >> i remember that vice president harris came to the funeral of ms. eswhitfield who was killed by a white supremacist in buffalo, new ki york. i did the eulogy and brought -- we went to tyre nichols' funeral in memphis and dealt with that. she is not doing this because she is running for president.
2:21 pm
she does this. president biden met with george floyd's family. many of those things happen while donald trump was president. i am trying to remember, i don't think you showed up were called anybody. if he did, it was not to show that he wanted to say that he was against what happened to them. >> benjamin crump, attorney general for black america, thank you for being with us. donald trump digs at vice ru president kamala harris don't seem to be working the way he wants them to. >> after the break, more on the excitement around the harris campaign and how far it's grassroots organizing can go toward electing america's first female president. female president.

welcome back to
2:26 pm
politicsnation. right now, vice presidential kamala harris campaign has raked in over $130 million, primarily by small donors since its start six days ago. in the first 24 hours, harris team broke all-time records for the most money raised by a presidential candidate during that timeframe and it was black women who were on the front lines of this monumental hall. an estimated 90,000 of them and allies logged into a zoom and other apps in support of harris' presidential candidacy. they raised more than $1.6 million in three hours since their call. they have provided the blueprint for other groups to mobilize and follow suit including black men, white women, latinos, indian, lgbtq and white men.
2:27 pm
joining me now is one of them that spoke that night on the zoom, the senior media strategist and spokesperson for women with black women call and an equity partner at the political strategy firm and someone who has worked with me and the national action network for 26 years and has helped to shape our brand, i guess you call it, in her business. this was a standard sunday call that had to shift its agenda and its agenda item once president biden early sunday afternoon announced he was stepping down from the presidential campaigns and endorsing his vice president. what did it mean to you to be part of this call? what was some of the action items that were asked of the
2:28 pm
group going forward? >> first of all, thank you for having me on and congrats to you on the emmy nomination for loudmouth. >> thank you. >> it is an honor to be here. last sunday's call was nothing short of historic. i have been on the women with black women call since 2020 and at the time, we were pushing for kamala harris to be the vice presidential nominee. no one pushed harder than you. this sunday, none of us knew that president biden was going to make the decision that he did. three hours before the zoom, thousands of women were in the waiting room and they could not get on. the founder of women with black women was able to call the coo of zoom so she could expand the platform so that we could get 44,000 women on but that still was not enough. they ended up having -- we are industrious. we were able to stream it on the clubhouse and youtube and other platforms and we walked away with an energy that the next night, when met with black
2:29 pm
men held a call. the brothers the next night raised 1.3 million. you saw later in the week of the white women did their call. the energy is something that i have not seen, perhaps even beyond that. >> if i wanted to expand the call, i would get on the call. sometimes a little too hard. >> black women -- the biden/harris admin has championed themselves with advocating. as you mentioned, the call among black women laid the blueprint for others to follow. the next day, more than 50,000 black men rallied around vp harris and raised 1.3 million and then on thursday night, nearly 200,000 people joined a
2:30 pm
call organized by white women for kamala harris. this was a zoom call raising $11 million. what impact will these groups have on the election? >> an unequivocal impact. it has been a catharsis for others to get involved. what we now know that we are up against is someone that is vitriol. what it is doing to kamala harris, we saw this -- this is a dry run for what has become the olympics of anti-dei. we are in the state of crisis. people mobilizing and galvanizing understand that and we are ready to go to work. >> trump is using an old technique of harris of mispronouncing her name and mocking her. what do you make of the difficulties harris may face running as a black woman as
2:31 pm
these attacks become more racist and misogynist. you handle man and a civil rights so you know more than anyone. do you suggest you counsel them because he is a streetfighter? >> you see her being a streetfighter. you see her since the nomination was announced. you see her on attack mode. we are going to continue fighting relentlessly so we can get this woman is the first female president of the united states. >> i am out of time but you worked with us for 26 years and you have probably seen kamala harris for 20 years and every situation from when she was da attorney general to senator the vice president. this is not the campaign for president. she has been there with us and many other civil rights groups
2:32 pm
all the way through. >> she has been there fighting for a criminal justice reform, health equity. by the way, thank you to the work you are doing around health equity and the group i cofounded around health equity. we are really rising to the occasion and will continue to do so throughout the next 100 days. >> i am glad to have you on for the almost 13 years i have done this show, i never got you in front of the camera and i won't tell your son how hard it was to get you to come on this side of the camera. thank you for being with us tonight. up next, longtime democratic senator cory booker joins me to discuss why vp harris is the perfect candidate to meet this moment. politicsnation returns right after the break . .

2:37 pm
until the presidential election, vice president kamala harris is out on the trail, introducing herself as a candidate. while both sides of the political aisle are working to define her with votes. joining me now is someone who knows her well, her friend and former colleague in the senate, democratic senator cory booker of new jersey. senator, thank you for coming on. what does it mean to you to watch your friend this week -- i watched you work hard in the senate, around the george floyd justice in policing act, the dawn lewis bill. i have been around for the friendship and bond you have. what does it mean to see her become the de facto nominee and have a stellar first week in fundraising and take donald trump to task over debate?
2:38 pm
from your experience working with her, why is she the perfect person for this moment? >> i was on the fences with her and a lot of really important fights. this legislation that her rent i worked on and partnered on and fought for, when she was with the vice president, she got to sign so much of that legislation, whether it was things like being part of the group that was pushing to get juneteenth a holiday or the antilynching bill, or you are right, especially right now with the murder of massey, the urgency for the george floyd justice in policing act . she co-authored that bill with me. i know what it is like to be with her in a foxhole. i know what it is like to fight with her in the trenches and we are excited to be in a period where america will see how extraordinary she is. she is a grass ceiling breaker, a history maker. she is somebody who is
2:39 pm
relentless, who is prepared, who has a sense of excellence and possibility. >> vp harris is expected to make her choice for running mate and less than two weeks. nbc reports there are 12 names under consideration for the democratic vice presidential nomination but according to sources familiar with the campaign for vice president harris, there is a window to wind down the list to pennsylvania governor josh sapir oh, north carolina governor roy cooper and senator mark kelly of arizona. what are you hearing about the search? you know and i know she does not always go with what would be predicted. i must say, on my radio show, you are in the top two, probably the top one and half. would you serve if she asked you? >> i think there is a much of a chance as me being the next contestant on the bachelor.
2:40 pm
>> you are qualified for both, though. >> thank you. that is a different kind of show you and i could have in the future. right now, the reality is, look at that list. all of us democrats should be really, really excited about th she has tremendous choices. i will tell you, josh sapir oh is one of the more dynamic, charismatic people i have gotten a chance to know. mark kelly, i have served with this man as well. he is one of the most extraordinary human beings i have met. forget u.s. senator. he has landed jets on aircraft carriers, military service, a nasa astronaut. quite literally, the guy has the right stuff and he is out of the world. with mark kelly, you also get perhaps one of the greatest champions and heroes in the country who would be the second lady in gabby giffords.
2:41 pm
this is a powerful group of people. we, as democrats, should understand that we have momentum. we have energy. i am out here in nevada campaigning up and down the ticket right now because this election, as great as our candidate is, will be won by the grassroots, by seeing this record volunteerism that she has, these small dollar contributions. when it comes to leadership, i know the vice presidential pick is important but we are the leaders that we have been looking for. there are a lot of really important roles that each of us now have to play in getting this election to a victory spot. >> let's switch gears for a minute to your fellow new jersey senator, bob menendez. he announced this week he was stepping down after being found guilty in a federal bribery and corruption trial earlier this month. new jersey governor phil murphy will appoint someone to fill the rest of his term, which
2:42 pm
ends in january. what should governor murphy consider -- what should he consider before he makes such an appointment? >> this is my partner but this is a governors choice. we have a great governor in the state of new jersey. bill murphy has led new jersey in being a shining light across the country for innovative, pragmatic, progressive policies and i know he is looking at an array of things. this is a chance to get somebody in there right on the eve of our election. we know we have a big election with andy kim running as a democratic candidate. i know he is speaking about a lot of these things and possibilities. what i am encouraged about, in new jersey, we will have a democratic senator that will replace bob menendez. i believe it is going to be
2:43 pm
andy kim come january, if not before. for those folks who don't know, new jersey was the only state that had two minorities representing it in the united states senate. it was me and bob menendez. that looks like it will continue to be the case with the first ever in history of america korean american united states senator. new jersey is headed in the right direction. we have great leadership right now and phil murphy will make the right choice. >> senator cory booker, thank you for being with us, as always. >> to the folks who don't know this, i just want to say, reverend is not only have a tv show, he is one of the best political minds in america. he has been a great advisor to me over the years and to many other people from the biden white house all the way to senators and congress people. you are truly an american treasure and i am grateful for you. >> i thank you for that. any time you want to say stuff like that, i will let you go
2:44 pm
over time. coming up, vice president harris' record on lgbtq issues and how the community -- how that community is reacting to her bid for the white house. it's actually the buildup of plaque bacteria which can cause cavities. most toothpastes quit working in minutes. but crest pro-health's antibacterial fluoride protects all day. so it stops cavities before they start... crest.
2:45 pm
2:46 pm
2:47 pm
welcome back to politicsnation. on wednesday, more than 1000 lgbtq political leaders , celebrities, and influencers announced their support in an organized open letter for vice president kamala harris' bid for the white house. joining me now is the ceo and president of one of those groups, sarah kate ellis of the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation. let's start with why you and your organization are unified around kamala harris for president. >> we are a c-3 so we do have to be careful. we don't go in support,
2:48 pm
necessarily candidates, but we do help platforms. the lgbtq voters are poised once again to be one of the most important voting blocs in this next election, especially in swing states and we are motivated. we did a recent boater pole that showed that 94% of registered lgbtq voters are definitely or most likely going to vote in the selection. in 2020, we were about 8% of the voting block and we know that that will continue to grow significantly. 93% of registered lgbtq voters showed up at the polls. that is outrageous, in a really good way. >> i know you don't endorse candidates directly and i know you don't encourage people who to vote for but you do say they
2:49 pm
should vote their interest and they lay facts out and then you let people make their own decisions. the biden/harris administration had championed themselves on advocating for pro lgbtq agendas during their time in the white house. have you been satisfied with the administration? take the politics out of it and the administration's record on lgbtq rights. >> thank you for saying that, reverend. they are the most lgbtq affirming adminition in the history of this country. they have done over 300 positive things for our community and that includes legislation, all sorts of moves that they have made, both in the federal government and through legislation, especially with the respect for marriage act. there is no doubt. on the other side of that, the trump campaign, when he was in the white house, had over 220
2:50 pm
anti-lgbtq moves out of his office. on the first day he was elected, he cleaned out the website for the white house and removed lgbtq people from it. it is night and day in terms of where our community is, in terms of their freedom and equality. take it a step further. if you talk about playbook 2025, not only is it dangerous and unhinged about what the trump campaign sees as the future of america, it is a 900 page playbook. >> project 2025 you are talking about? >> yes, i'm sorry. project 2025. it is a 900 page document. on the opening page, they say they want to eradicate our
2:51 pm
marriages as lgbtq people which means they want to eradicate our families. they don't even wait until page 500 to come after us. we know what this campaign and what this candidate wants to do to lgbtq people. it has been crystal clear. >> thank you for being with us tonight. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ay with us. i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis.
