trump's life pushed it to extremes. american doctor with urgent message to the white house after witnessing carnage in gaza. i'm in for ayman mohyeldin, let's do this. >> what is sentry this month has been, one month ago, june 27th, the presidential election was turned on its head, president biden shaking debate performance sent democrats into full-blown tailspin, what followed was three weeks of ow fierce debate over whether biden should stay in the race and lots of doom and gloom about the party's chances of keeping donald trump out of thep white house again. what a difference a month makes. following his social media post announcing his exit from the race last sunday, president biden addressed the nation frome the oval office on wednesday, explaining his decision and following through on his pledge to pass the torch to a younger generations of leaders led by
4:02 pm
vice president kamala harris. this past week, vice president harris has taken that, running with it with raucous campaign spots around the country with record breaking fundraising and enough pledged delegates to make her the defective democratic nominee. the latest polls are confirminga what many are seeing and feeling on the ground, entirely new race with harris gaining ground on trump. and a new sense of hope for democrats. something else is happening around the country, there's a new energy, new type of excitement around the harris campaign manifesting itself with grassroots organizing that could shake up the race even more. last sunday night, hours after president biden made his announcement, an organization called win with black women, which regularly host strategy calls saw a record 44,000 black women flood their zoom call. the group goal was to raise over 100 -- $1 million, instead they raised 1.6 million during the first three hours of the call. the event was so successful,
4:03 pm
inspired win with black men, even following that, the zoom call hit 20,000 capacity so fast, organizers had to start youtube. according to organizers, 53,000 black men registered with the event raising 1.3 million in four hours. what happens with american politics, black people pave the way and everyone else followed. on thursday night, even billed as white women answer the call, more than 160,000 white women joined soon organize call to discuss support, privilege. within hours of the call, organizers said that they raised over $2 million and that number has continued to increase ever since. this upcoming monday, get ready because you're about to see white dudes for kamala which has 20,000 participants signed up . this newfound enthusiasm
4:04 pm
among democrats is giving people flashbacks to barack obama's first campaign for president that hope and change were at the heart of that movement. obama formerly endorsed harris this week with this phone call, data-driven tech savvy and social media powered movement behind it. vice president harris seems to have that working in her favor and we will find out in 101 days whether it will also yield the same results. joining me now are two women from the win with black women collective, the chief impact officer and cofounder of the black voters matter fund. thank you both for joining, i really appreciate it. let's start with you, take me back to the call, what did it feel like to be on that call as you are seeing the numbers of people joining the zoom eating bigger and bigger by the er minute, what was that like? >> for me, first of all, thank you for having me. for me, i joined the call pretty regularly and i knew this was a big day and that was
4:05 pm
the only place i wanted to be because i felt like community with other black women, the th beauty of the win with black women call, we are there, i'm not worried about the impact of the chief officer, i'm there ase a black woman meeting with other black women. it was a special moment, that was the place i wanted to be, i remember logging in early and being told, we have to change some things. i watched as the conveners graciously said that this is getting bigger, we have more speakers, more speakers. for me, it felt like there was something palpable that happened. i said this before, i felt like i had the spirit ella baker, i felt the spirit of the ancestors. i felt my grandmother, the first in her family to be born out of slavery and i felt her
4:06 pm
in that moment. the only time i ever felt that was the night barack obama was inaugurated. it felt peace, there was power behind it and a little part of you as a black woman because you know what is coming. we are going to celebrate right now but we know she is going to be attacked. and we know it felt like we were in community where we could say that out loud but we weren't afraid. that was the most powerful and beautiful thing about convening, it felt like the earth shook and it feels like that, i think there is a seismic shift and i truly believe that. >> as jara says, everybody knows what is coming . we are already seeing the attacks, how are you and your organization, how is the community prepared
4:07 pm
to deal with those attacks? >> one, i think similar my feeling being on that call, it created a lot of hope and possibilities and when you have that, people are ignited and when people are ignited, they're willing to dig in and invest and do the work, we had so many people call to say they will volunteer and work so ll there are three things we will do, one, it is a moment for us to take and capture the energy and momentum and educate people to help people understand who kamala harris is, who vice president harris is. her record, the things she has been able to do, and her vision going forward. i also think this is a moment around being able to show the contrast between the two different platforms. ultimately, for us, not just about the candidate, it is about the policies. what is the agenda, what are the policies that will support the communities we support? the
4:08 pm
third thing i really think will be important is for people to redirect their energy toward doing the work, getting on the ground doing the work, writing checks, canvassing, activating them as organizers. ng so we can't amplify and take this moment, i do think it is a special moment. people feel it, i feel it, it is something in the air, people want and a mental change. this is a moment we can have fundamental change, it is ground that can have a woman, in particular a black woman, asian american woman at the top of the ticket, it will shift the political landscape forever we know that opportunity and it opens the possibility for all of us, all of us have not been seen in this political system, all of us who have done the work and really understand it is time for different kind of leadership paradigm. >> i'm thinking where we were a week ago or two weeks ago, i feel like before president biden dropped out, he and his allies cited the huge support he had
4:09 pm
among black voters, they kept citing his support among the ti congressional black caucus, one of several reasons for him to not step out. how did we go from that to this joy both of you are describing? >> let me say this, one, i have been doing work on the ground, all of these trump voters, i only see them on tv with hat and t-shirt, i don't know where those people are. those are not the people i'm running into. is he something interesting in conversations, there's a difference between conversation and commitment. i heard people talk about him, i've not seen the kind of commitment. this whole notion that black people went to trump, wears that ? that was just a pole gun in detroit where he got 0% of black support, that did not drop and leave, the truth of the matter is, our biggest ma threat was not people leaving not voting for biden going to trump, our biggest concern was , people not going to vote, period
4:10 pm
. at the end of the day, i think trump has exaggerated, we know he exaggerates, he exaggerated the caucus support and there is no evidence as i and organizers have seen on the ground, the ground swell of support. what it has done, this campaign activated those who felt disinterested in the selection. it activated, ignited young people and voters on the fringes. i don't think this is a matter of, you see this contrast. talking about age and all of this disinformation about biden and his age, who looks like the old man now? >> same question to you. i think what is interesting to do is to break down the joy. not just talking about enthusiasm, we are talking about joy, that has a different mobilizing effect on the ground . described that joy, what differences that makes on the ground. >> i think to latosha 's point, friday after the debate , super majority on the ground walking on strawberry mansions in
4:11 pm
philadelphia. we were on the ground talking to the same people we are pontificating about, how they are feeling and what they are doing, the fact of the matter is, when you're talking to community and voters as we do on a consistent basis, as a matter of fact, today, by the end of the weekend, we will have had over 200 people and events across our three states, just today. they are energized and mobilizea . the thing about it is, there has not been a lot of talking in these communities. that has shifted. it has shifted, there is enthusiasm but enthusiasm does not win elections. what wins are talking to voters, talking to them about their values and that is something super majority does. we have definitely seen an increase of that enthusiasm, especially among young women, especially among young black women because we know as of 2022, tufts university program
4:12 pm
noted that only 21% of young black women received any kind of touch by the major parties, candidates, or group. wees can't afford to do that right now. so yes, while the debate te performance definitely got everyone nervous, what i did, as an organizer, what we did as an organization, we picked up aw clipboard and started going out into the immunity, walking in the humidity, like i had my hat on, i had my walking shoes, eating an icee, communicating with voters. when you talk to voters, you hear them talking not about the candidates but my economic well- being is not there. my reproductive freedom is being challenged. >> latosha , i have one minute, i think it is important to us and we will not just be talking about the vice president but
4:13 pm
also her running mate, i think this idea that her running mate must somehow appeal to white blue-collar swing voters, what do you make of that? >> i think we have to recognize there are two major shifts, one, demographic shifts in the country. when you look at the country and what we are used to in terms of political history, the country is younger and has a whole different experience. they are used to sing women in places of leadership, there has been a woman in the white house, we had a woman run for president, who actually got more votes than trump did hillary clinton got more votes, she did not get the electoral college. my point is, i think voters are asking for something different. i think that sometimes the same thing that lead for obama, g obama got elected because people wanted to see someone outside the beltway. i think the same thing happened with trump, people wanted to see someone break the mold i think there is a unique in opportunity in this moment. i wrote a statement about an op- ed, i think it is an opening,
4:14 pm
it does not say that we choose a white man, it says that we don't have to think that is the only option. we should look at the bench and who is the best that can carry the agenda and align and excite people and bring folks to the ticket. we don't need to literally limit ourselves out of fear and looking at the past because there is one ticket, we look at the republican ticket, there's one ticket super masculine and another ticket more reflective and could be more reflective of america that we desire and deserve. >> tells you where i want to be right now, i don't know where you are but it is beautiful. thank you. the dangerous evolution of h our right extremism after donald trump's assassination attempt. ced ne lutions from t-mobile for business. from 5g drones capturing the ball in-flight, to ai analytics showing how the pros approach every putt. ♪♪

4:19 pm
pointed the finger at democrats, telling them to lower the temperature on their rhetoric. two days later, trump was welcomed at the republican national convention with chants a fight, fight, fight, a message that dominated the entire week. even before the call to fight, even that, even before that became official, trump supporters were on it hours after the shooting him a far right communities online lit up with calls for violence with retribution and civil war. one member of the pro-trump message board known as the donald went so far as to say, quote, need to finish what should have been done after the civil war, eradicate and eliminate all democrats and anyone who thinks of eating a democrat. it is not just limited to online spaces. militia and antigovernment groups across the united states have used the assassination attempt to increase recruitment with one kentucky militia leader thing on facebook, quote, you can sit and enjoy the show or join it. there will come a time you have no choice. kyle spencer has written
4:20 pm
extensively about the far right, the author of raising them right, the untold story of america's ultraconservative youth movement and its plot for power, she joins me now. thank you for joining me. >> i'm glad to be here. >> so much to talk about, one of the first things that struck me was, how soon after this attempted murder were all of these far right organizers sort of organizing? you have these calls for violence, people recruiting, more folks into militias, you have calls for civil war, what does that say to you? >> i think that is 100% to be expected, these militia groups are in the wings waiting always for opportunities to be ignited and to demonize the left, they wait for it and trump always signals to them, his freedom with the signal, go, you are on, and they did. they reminded their allies that democrats are evil, they dehumanize democrats, that is part of the plan commit be in

resurgence within the far right movement. what would happen if vice president harris walks into the white house as the president, what would happen to that movement? >> i know a lot of us are saying this, we have to be prepared for a lot of instability, they're going to fight this tooth and nail, these folks will fight it, the courts will have very little chance, there are weak cases, they will fight it in the streets. that is why we see the firing up of militia groups, weaponizing groups, we are seeing them tee them up and excite them and essentially prep them. we are looking at a very dire situation. dems need to win, win in high numbers but also have to be prepared for chaos in the streets and violence. it is going to be ugly. >> i know you can't foresee the future, what happens if the dems don't win? >> it is a good question, i spend a lot of time talking to folks, progressive organizers
4:25 pm
and journalists with newsletter reporting, local journalists around the country, what you're seeing is that progressive democrats are telling people, we are going to win and if we don't win, we are going to fight this safely, we will not resort to violence, there is concern among everyone that violence will happen. i think it is important, we cannot choose violence, the radicalized republican party is a violent party, armed party, continues to arm and glorify violent people, continues to glorify people who want to take over the government with their arms. democrats do not do that, that is not part of the democratic and it is not part of the ethos, relief system or the values of the democrats. i have to speak so strongly to that, violence, if you want violence, vote for the republicans. >> we will be following everything you have to do, thank you so much. kyle spencer, everyone follow her. up next, will vice

4:31 pm
long before that, there were major red flags about his performance that seriously threatened his re-election campaign. his support for israel's war on gaza is deeply unpopular within the democratic coalition causing him to sink in the polls with young voters, black voters, arab and muslim voters in key swing states. whether large protest throughout the country, student run encampments across college campuses or the oncoming movement that emerged from the primaries, many voices were raising the alarm. some of the most powerful ones came from within the administration, where a dozen officials have resigned in protest. you heard many of their stories on the show. president biden dropping out, there are questions, a little bit of optimism vice president harris may have a more humane path in the middle east. some of the officials that resigned in protest are expressing more hope in kamala harris. the first jewish political appointee to resign from the administration over gaza.
4:32 pm
before joining the biden administration, she worked on, harris' 2020 presidential campaign and wrote an op-ed this week titled, i worked to elect kamala harris, she must break with israel. joining me is lily herself, i really appreciate it. i want to start with happened this week, everyone was watching very closely as prime minister netanyahu, despite, i have to say, despite the charges of war crimes by the international criminal court, everyone was saying how he was being welcome in washington. on thursday, he had this one-on- one meeting with vice president harris. after that meeting, vice president harris addresses the media, in the remarks, she is pledging support for israel, she named every single american hostage by name being held by hamas and after that, she said this, take a listen. >> i also expressed with the
4:33 pm
prime minister my serious concern about the scale of human suffering in gaza, including the death of far too many innocent civilians. i made clear my serious concern about the dire humanitarian situation there. with over 2 million people facing high levels of food insecurity and half 1 million people facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity. what has happened in gaza over the past nine months is devastating. the images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third, or fourth time. we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies, we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and i will not be silent. >> lily, you wrote your op-ed
4:34 pm
before all of this went down, what do you think now after this statement? >> i think her remarks are good start, unfortunately, we have seen such dehumanization of palestinians from president biden, the president's spokespeople, administration leadership since october. beyond that, this has been the way the u.s. government treated palestinians for a long time. what i have to say is, i think the remarks are great, i think there needs to be action. i think saying that i won't be silent, saying that we will acknowledge the suffering is one thing. the reality is, the united states is sending israel the arms it is using to inflict that suffering and we are not using our full financial and diplomatic leverage to make sure israel lets aid get through , israel complies with u.s. and international law, and to broker not just a temporary cease-fire but a permanent lasting cease- fire and a change in the status
4:35 pm
quo of occupation and apartheid . i'm happy to see the remarks but voters want more than remarks and talk, they want action. >> i think everyone is paying so much attention to her words, her actions. which brings me to this, i also want to talk about the protest, the protest that happen as netanyahu was addressing congress, the vice president released a statement, in that statement, she denounces the protesters. she uses the word, unpatriotic, and says that anti-semitism, hate, and violence of any kind have no place in our nation. two things for you, first of all, were you at the protest and if so, what was that like? and what do you make of this statement? >> i think the statement in a lot of ways focused on the fringe group of protesters, tens of thousands of americans in d.c. that day, i was there as well, i was with a group of israelis, israeli americans,
4:36 pm
palestinians, palestinian americans, families of the hostages, people were peacefully protesting the fact that a corrupt war criminal was being welcomed to congress. and that their tax dollars are being used to kill innocent people, even the day before, there was a really moving nonviolent protest of american jews in the capitol calling on congress and administration to stop arming israel, entire coalitions of israeli hostage families arrested protesting netanyahu 's speech . i think that is what we should be focusing on. i also hope she has the same random nation for the slaughter of tens of thousands of palestinians, it seems like she expressed some of that in the speech. that is what i think. >> the washington post said something i think is important, if harris does not get gaza and protest right, especially as colleges start the fall semester, the campaign will be in serious trouble with young
4:37 pm
poc voters. >> absolutely. i think kamala has a heart and important job to do, unite the party and the feet donald trump . ultimately, there's no better way for her to reject authoritarianism here, your previous guest was talking about, political violence here, also take a stand against the israeli government stance on political violence. when i worked for the campaign, what would eventually become the biden campaign in 2020, i was in arizona organizing young voters, college students across the state, those are key coalitions that right now, vice president harris needs to mobilize in order to win, especially states like michigan, minnesota, georgia, almost over 700,000 democrats voted committed to the primaries, direct protest of president biden's unconditional support for israel's assault on gaza. she needs to win those people over. >> before we go, in the next
4:38 pm
week, what do you think the vice president should do in order to win some of the incumbent voters? >> i think she should call for arms embargo, a halt to the flow of offensive weapons, which is widely popular amongst democratic voters to american voters, half of american jews in support of that. she should show she is committed to using full diplomatic and financial leverage to push for immediate lasting cease-fire, hostage exchange, and a path toward equality and justice and thriving future for palestinians and israelis. >> lily greenberg call, thank you for joining me. appreciate it. another senseless death at the hands of the police, next. ar since when is one enough for you! that is true.. get your head out of the sand trap, switch to t-mobile and get four iphone 15's on them and four lines for just $25 a line. and you can save on every plan versus the other big guys.

several local, state, federal officials condemned deputy sean grayson's actions. president biden and vice president harris both released statements calling on justice for the family. we have been here before, this isn't new, no amount of states or condemnations are going to bring sonya and every other like victims killed by police violence back. listen to what sonya's father , james wilburn, had to say at a press conference this week. >> the only time i'm going to see my baby again is when i leave this world. i don't ever want anybody else in the united states to join this league. you always get the same thing, these platitudes from people. you know, you have my prayers and my sympathy. do you know what i want? i want justice for my baby. [ applause ]
4:45 pm
>> you killed the wrong black woman this time! >> james and his family said that they were never told it was a police involved shooting, he found out what actually happened after his brother read about it on the internet. can you fathom that? they were under the impression sonya was killed by an intruder, the deputy , sean grayson, charged with first- degree murder with aggravated battery with a firearm and conduct, if convicted, faces prison sentences of 45 years alike, six to 30 years for battery, two to five years for misconduct. his past record should've been flagged well before he was allowed to enter the police force. nbc news reporting found that greases disclosed a history of alcohol abuse on a job application, pleaded guilty twice to duis. it is pretty unbelievable we still find ourselves in this moment, after the police killing of george floyd in 2020, after the mass protest of
4:46 pm
the country, the calls for reform, it seems like for a split second there could be a turn, reckoning of some sort for the future. four years later, momentum on capitol hill to pass sweeping police reform faded away. four years later, police in america continue to shoot and kill more than 1000 people each year. of course, black victims that disproportionate rate. four years later we have not seen change in the data that officers are prosecuted for murder less than 2% of fatal shootings. yes, that countries deep and dark history of racism is alive and well today, we cannot talk about police violence without facing that reality. as a news outlet, the conversation noted in 2019, policing institutional racism of decades and centuries still matters because police culture has not changed as much as it should. sonya massey should still be alive today and so should michael, all of them, george floyd, breonna taylor and so many others. how many more black people are we going to

4:50 pm
so, here's to now. boost. this spring, a 9-year-old girl showed up at gaza european hospital, she was in septic shock, malnourished and barely conscious. in a piece for lydia ko, doctors write, they had no idea how she ended up in their care. quote, just touching her blankets elicited shrieks of
4:51 pm
pain and terror, she was slowly dying so we decided to take the risk of anesthetizing her without knowing what we would find. in the operating room, we examined her from head to toe, this beautiful little girl was missing two inches of her left femur along with most of the muscle and skin on the back of her thigh. both of her buttocks were flayed open, cutting so deeply through flesh the lowest bones in her pelvis were exposed. we swept her hands to the poverty and cruelty, maggots poured out on the operating table. the american surgeons that treated jara six served more than 40 surgical missions around the world, between them that combined 57 years of volunteering but they had never seen anything like the carnage that they witness in gaza. joining me is one of those men. trauma, critical care, acute care surgeon. thank you for joining me, i really appreciate it. i want to expand on what you saw on the ground in gaza, when
4:52 pm
you treated patients like juri, who we just talked about. you and your coauthor wrote, i will quote you, it is what we imagined the first weeks of the zombie apocalypse would look and smell like. can you expand on that, dr.? >> yeah. when i was there, gaza european hospital was the best resource city block in all of gaza and a total disaster. as you can see in the video you're showing, displaced persons camp which is the grounds of the hospital, 10 to 15,000 people sheltering on hospital grounds and another, those people were sheltering inside the hospital itself, within the corridors of the hospital on both sides, it is four feet wide like you see. there was nothing, no resources, no clean water, we were out of water monday so
4:53 pm
drinking the tap water, it was vile and disgusting. you can see there are people with maggots, it is not a sustainable situation, you can see the overwhelming presence of children, gaza is such a young territory, half of the population is kids. >> that is evident, you can see from the footage, you talk a lot about it in the piece and write about this constant stream of children coming to the hospital and specify with gunshot wounds to the head. when you saw those injuries, what did that tell you? >> i just finished writing a letter to the biden administration, 45 total physicians and nurses saying that we all saw the same thing, no matter where we served in gaza, we all repeatedly on a daily basis, literally on a daily basis sell children, preteens, not 17-year-old, shot
4:54 pm
in the head and chest. i have a hard time believing such widespread, regular, ongoing for ten-month shooting of children is accidental. i seriously doubt it. it is tolerated . >> you think it is targeted, you believe from what you saw, they are specifically targeting children as well? >> yeah, my coauthor put it the other day, no kid gets shot twice in the head on accident, the dozens and dozens of children in total geographically separate parts of gaza, over 10 months continuously and it is clearly deliberate. >> i want to ask about the story of a palestinian nurse that you treated and he told her he was taken by the israeli military, tortured and left at the side of the road. i think the story of healthcare workers being abducted by the idf has not been widely reported.
4:55 pm
we only have these first-hand accounts by doctors like you. what was it like to hear these kinds of accounts first-hand? >> he is my colleague, i don't know, i don't speak a word of arabic so i can't speak to him directly, there is no excuse. this guy, i think he is 25 or 26 years old and he was operating at the regional hospital with his team, the israelis came in, the patient anesthetized so they shot him in the leg and left. his own team fixed him up and that is the picture that you see on the left. the next day, the israelis rated the hospital and took him kept him 45 days, he was strapped to a table given it juice box every day or every other day and beaten so badly his right eye was the nucleated when he left the hospital. that kind of treatment of a
4:56 pm
nurse is outrageous. clearly not hamas because they let him go. what was the point of treating him this way? how did that help? only trying to target and deliver industry the healthcare system is how it makes sense. i think it is clear that is what they are doing. >> i want to ask for an update on gaza european hospital, at the end of your piece, a note states early this month israeli military called for the evacuation of the european hospital and surrounding territory and now it seems like the hospital is completely empty. do you have any updates what happened to the patients you are treating or the children that you treated like juri? >> juri made it out of gaza. she is being treated which is good. i believe she went with her mother and siblings, her dad stayed behind. european hospital, i think it was july 1st, the israelis
4:57 pm
issued evacuation order for the surrounding area and on july 2nd, it was implemented. this is really frustrating because we are in contact with senators offices saying the hospital we were at is being evacuated forcibly. there is no justification for this at all. it is absurd. it was the most functional hospital on the strip at the time. they all wrote us back and said, no, the israelis have said, they told us everybody can stay at the hospital in the hospital is fine. we sent them back, no, here's a screenshot of text messages telling everyone to leave. they are lying to you. why is israel lying to the united states? >> amidst all of that bad information, it is in credible to know that juri is doing well. and thank you to doctors like yourself, thank you, dr. feroze sidhwa for joining us.

boring. think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and hurtles it into space? boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start up. because it's smart, dependable, and steady. all words you want from your bank. for nearly 160 years, pnc bank has been brilliantly boring so you can be happily fulfilled... which is pretty un-boring if you think about it. for people who feel limited by the unpredictability of generalized myasthenia gravis and who are anti-achr antibody positive, season to season, ultomiris is continuous symptom control, with improvement in activities of daily living. it is reduced muscle weakness. and ultomiris is the only long-acting gmg treatment with the freedom of just 6 to 7 infusions per year, for a predictable routine i can count on. ultomiris can lower your immune system's ability to fight infections, increasing your chance of serious meningococcal infections, which may become life-threatening or fatal,
5:00 pm
and other types of infections. complete or update your meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks before starting ultomiris. if ultomiris is urgent, you should also receive antibiotics with your vaccines. before starting ultomiris, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and medications. ultomiris can cause reactions such as back pain, tiredness, dizziness, limb discomfort, or bad taste. ultomiris is moving forward with continuous symptom control. ask your neurologist about starting ultomiris. but it's under siege from big out-of-state media companies and hedge funds. now, california legislators are considering a bill that could make things even worse by subsidizing national and global media corporations while reducing the web traffic local papers rely on. so tell lawmakers, support local journalism, not well connected media companies. oppose ab 886. paid for by ccia.
