hello, everyone. i'm alicia menendez. tonight the lives of americans of americans are hanging in the balance. they're waiting on congress and the white house to come to an agreement on another round of coronavirus relief. they want their political leaders to come together and find a solution to real problems in their lives. instead, today the president decided to go it alone into the scorched earth approach in the process. president trump held a press

conference that looked a lot like a political rally at his golf resort in new jersey. he roasted democrats, the media, and his political opponents to cheers of the club's members. the president also signed four executive orders that may or may not deliver the american people some relief. he extended the payroll tax holiday to the end of the year. he directed hud and other agencies to provide assistance for renters and homeowners. he authorized $400 in expanded uninsurance benefits, and he said student loan borrowers will pay no interest through december 1. those orders are almost guaranteed to be challenged in court so, it's not clear how much benefit the american people will see. here's what we do know. over 160,000 americans have died from covid-19. there are nearly 5 million confirmed cases. and while president trump continues to say coronavirus will disappear, a team at the university of washington predicts 300,000 americans will die from covid-19 by december.

and friday, the labor department reported the economy recovered nearly two million lost jobs, and unemployment is now just over 10%. but tens of millions of americans are still struggling to make ends meet. during friday's negotiations, democrats offered to knock off $1 trillion from their $3.4 trillion bill to make a deal, but that move is rejected by administration officials. and as house leader nancy pelosi puts it, this isn't about dollars. it's about values. it's about lives. >> the middle ground is not sophie's choice, how many children will be fed, how we're going deal with eviction s and how many people will be relegated to eviction and homelessness. this is a different kind of a negotiation. this isn't just about dollars. it's about values. you're mistaking them for somebody who gives a damn about a lot of these things. they don't. >> and the talks aren't over. on a conference call with democratic house members today,

pelosi said negotiations with the administration will continue. with me now is maya wiley. she a university professor at the new school. maya, great to see you. explain this executive order for us, because i think the big question everyone has is can he do this? >> you know, this is a president who has decided he will do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it, constitution be damned. because the constitution is very clear. congress, the folks we elect and put in those offices decide what we spend money on. can the president try to veto it? sure. and then the question is are there enough votes to overcome it? but that's really what we're talking about here legally. we have a president who has decided rather than negotiate, rather than work with our elected representatives, rather than work through an impasse which is about how many dollar, not whether or not we agree that folks should have unemployment

support, that student loans should not have to be repaid right now, that rather than working that out, he's going to say i will decide what we spend money on. i will decide even if congress is telling me we don't have a deal. i will be king trump. remember how the gop complained about king obama on executive orders? he never tried to do anything like this. it's staggering. >> maya, i bet there are a lot of attorneys who thought they were getting a saturday off who are now returning home in order to write some briefs. this is most likely going face challenges. how does that further muck up the negotiations that are happening on capitol hill? >> well, you know that. >> could drag them out. we don't know, because courts decide how quickly they move on things. but let's remember the border wall. remember the border wall when congress would not appropriate dollars to donald trump's vanity

project. what happened was we went -- he went by on his own, did an executive order, took money from building schools on military bases in order to build his wall. and then then it went through a legal process. the supreme court basically let it lay and let his actions to spend money where congress had explicitly refuse d to spend money. so unfortunately we have a supreme court that has created some concerns here about how it will rule. but in courts underneath did move quickly in that case. we just don't know until the process works its out. >> maya, to your earlier point about king obama, there is always a tweet. this is 2014. trump tweeting republicans must not allow president obama to subvert the constitution of the u.s. for its own benefit.

and because he is unable to negotiate with congress. that was of course about president obama using his executive order immigration. how do you square the difference between that tweet from 2014, and especially this part calling on obama for being unable to negotiate with congress. doesn't that underscore that president trump is unable to do the exact same thing? >> yeah. what happened to the president trump who talked about the art of the deal? well, patiently he is not the world's best negotiator. and all we can say about republicans in congress is double standard. this is partisan politics over people. we should have a deal here. we've got almost seven million people who may be facing eviction because of their inability to pay rent. it's simply not enough to say we agree on these things but i'm not going work with you. i'm not going work for the american people. i'm just going to work for my ego. and the republicans have enabled it. that's all we can say about it.

>> all right, maya wiley. thank you so much. joining the conversation is jesse morales, the director for the national workers domestic alliance. and the co-chair of families belong together. jason johnson is contributor to the grio. the president of one fair wage. and the director of paid leave for all. we just heard about the legality of all of this. i'm interested in what you believe to be the politics of all of this. how does what we saw today at that golf resort, these four executive orders complicate what is happening on capitol hill? >> well that. >> complicate things because as usual, alicia, the president does things and then expects everyone else on the senate side and the house side to run around and try and make them real. he signs executive orders that may or may not be legal. he announces things he may or may not have control over. and then he says here, just do

it, fix it, take care of it. this makes mitch mcconnell's job more difficult. this makes nancy pelosi's job more difficult. it makes everybody's job more difficult because you have a president who is not in line with any message. this is what is important. none of this is actually about coming up with a deal for the millions of people who are out of jobs. >> for the millions of people who are underemployed. this is looking like he is doing something. this is about campaign commercials on facebook and twitter and graham that say president trump fined four executive orders that change everybody's life. you've got to remember that this is performance art. when it comes time to get a deal done, the deal will get done and trump will have nothing to do with it. >> while the president is engaging in what jason calls performance art, there are millions of americans who are in fact waiting for a real deal. what are they up against while they wait for a deal to come out of capitol hill? >> i think what most people don't realize is that $600 from the federal government that just

ended, it's a life -- it's been a lifeline for millions, tens of millions of low wage workers because our research showed that almost half of them did not get any benefits from their states, any unemployment benefits from their states. take forever tip worker, restaurant, nail salon, car wash, parking attendants. you've got over 10 million of those workers who lost their jobs. because they received a subminimum wage and tips, they were denied state unemployment insurance, which means their only income for the last four months has been that $600 from the federal government. so they're on the brink of starvation, of homelessness. we've had workers tell us they're planning to steal food for their children at this point because they have no choice. and the one thing that does give me hope is a lot of these workers are not -- they're not going to stand by and let this happen. they're calling on states to actually act. there was a group of workers and employers in new york who called

on governor cuomo on thursday to enact a full livable minimum wage with tips on top as a way to get state unemployment insurance in the future and to just survive right now. so we know the states can lead. in the absence of federal leadership, people are bleeding right now. the states need to be leading. >> dawn, among the complicating elements that are happening in this moment is you have so many people, specifically, so many women who are flaying the role of caretaker, caretaker for an elderly relative, caretaker for a loved one, caretaker for their children while they try to do their job. how does that complicate the bigger picture as legislators come to the table to make a deal? >> absolutely. so i know as a parent how hard it is right now to be working full time and care-taking full time. also knowing i'm one of the luckiest. i have a job. i can do it remotely and have i the protections of paid sick leave and paid leave. which get tested for covid.

i can quarantine safely. and god forbid, something happen to me or my child, i know i will be protected. there are millions of workers across the country right now, meaning millions of essential workers on the front lines at the highest risk of exposure who do not have those protections. and particularly as you talk about reopening, that impacts every one of us. predominantly these are low wage worker, women, who have been risking their lives to keep the economy going. and many have been cut out of the protection of a single guaranteed sick day. we're waiting to the president to act on this to close those loop holes. >> jess, i want to play some sound for you from senator schumer talking about the post office. take a listen. >> it's not the money. they almost seem they don't want elections to be conducted in a full way as possible. they seem that they want certain people to not -- almost discouraging them from being able to vote.

the post office, there was a lot of discussion on that, and frankly, we have little faith that they're not trying to politicize the post office. >> jess, i think there are a lot of people who watch the negotiations that are happening on capitol hill, and they understand the debate that is happening around unemployment benefits. they understand the republican push for liability shield. the post office may seem like a quirky add-on. why is it so critical to the efforts the democrats are putting forward? >> oh my goodness, i mean, this is maybe one of the most wild parts about this negotiation. democrats call for an investigation into delays into delays in the post office. the trump administration does a friday night news dump, oh, they just purged the entire post office, and by the way, they're going charge more for vote by mail ballots. stho this is a crazy time.

mitch mcconnell and the gop are refusing to include post office additional funding. and this is all under the united states postal service is making the economy run right now. i don't know about you, but i'm getting a package every other day in my house because that's how i'm surviving covid. and so this is really quite an attack happening on the post office. and it is an attack about essential workers, the letter carriers and postal workers who are working. it's an attack on our voting rights. and it's also politicizing this thing that is one of our only lifelines during covid. it's just one more example of how the trump administration is doing everything they can to just basically suck the life out of all of us. they're going to take away our medicare. they're going to take away our social security. they're going to take away the post office now? truly, what else is there for them to take away? i'm actually very worried about this because it suggests a level

of evil that even for the trump administration is pretty bad. >> jason, if we're talking about what is happening on capitol hill in these negotiations, one one of the people noticeably absent is mitch mcconnell. we all know the dynamics in play here. he has a caucus that is in disagreement because he has some incumbents who are up for reelection who want to see a deal done. he also has a lot of members of his caucus who have no interest in doing anything more than they've already done. and what is perhaps even more interesting is he has a white house that is undermining the process just what you saw today. where does that leave mitch mcconnell? and who does it really leave driving negotiations for republicans? >> oh, nobody is driving negotiations. at some point, we've had negotiations that are being driven off a cliff or being driven in a circle. no one is driving. the car has no driver. they don't know what they're doing. mitch mcconnell is trying to put together. here is a catch what the real conflict is in the senate. it's not just between you're

sort of hard right people and the people up for office. it is for the people who are susan collins, cory gardner, who are up for reelection, and then all the people who want to run in 2024. right? that's what mitch mcconnell is trying to stitch together. he has a white house who doesn't care one way or another. i want to point this out because as you mentioned in the last segment, the post office is a part of these negotiations. none of this matters. it doesn't matter if you give people $400, $600, or $1200 a month if we do not have the right and the ability this fall to vote these people out. no matter what the democrats do, if they do not put in money and investigations and resources to protect the post office, i don't know about the rest of the people on the panel. have i mail that was sent two week association from the next state over that hasn't gotten here. that's what is going to happen. if the democrats do not prioritize the post office in these negotiations, all of these fights will make no difference because these people will stay entrenched in office and they

will never, ever leave and continue to impress and abuse us. >> saru, do you agree with jason's analysis that the democrats need to hold the line on that? >> absolutely. they do need to hold the line. people are desperate for these funds. i wouldn't say it doesn't matter whether it's $200 or $600 or it matters a lot. trump's executive proposal to give $400 is ridiculous because people are barely surviving with $600. but i would say that the other parts of this package are equally important. the post office is critical. a lot of these workers are angry. we're talking thousands of workers across the country that are saying they're going to vote. they didn't vote before, but they are going to vote. how they're going to do that is the question. the other part that's at stake in this bill we haven't talked about is funding for cities and states. you know, who is providing food right now to people in cities? cities are the ones that are running food programs. who's going do that if states go bankrupt? cities also control water and power. low-wage workers are right now

on the brink with regard to not just getting that federal unemployment and maybe not being able to vote. but also because if they're not able to access basic city services, if cities aren't able to feed them, we're really facing mass starvation. we've had workers tell us as of right now food banks are overwhelmed. they've been shut down. workers have said i don't have the ability to get to the food bank because there is no public transportation, and i don't have money for gas to get to the food bank. so, for example, there is a worker in chicago, a member of ours, tobina gibson. she is a bartender. she was denied state unemployment insurance because she earned a subminimum wage in illinois plus tips. they said it looks like you don't work because your tips were unreported by your boss. she has nothing right now. she wasn't able to access state. now she is not going to be able to access federal. she has four children. how is she going to be able to feed them? that's a real question.

>> jess, this is why i always like having saru on because she reminds us what is at stake. real people's lives on the line here. and jess, you asked me a question. i'm not sure if you meant as a real or rhetorical question. what happens if they can't get a deal done? and i wonder if you mean that as a real question, if you also have an answer to it. >> it's a real question. we've heard from on the hill that this is really kind of the last big package. maybe it will come back in september to continue the resolution. that will keep the government running or else the government will shut down. that's what we're looking at right now. in between all of that, capitol hill is exactly what saru was talking about. if congress decides to take a vacation and go on the campaign trail from october, november, december, we are looking at going into the fall and the winter and the holidays with families who do not know what to do, who haven't worked for the

better part of a year, and who will literally starve. this is a crisis of epic proportions, and the trump administration is doing nothing but sort of a big performance art. and what's going to happen with people if the senate doesn't do their job and to pass a bill that actually helps workers, that actually includes immigrants. we are looking at catastrophic fall and winter. >> jess, jason, saru and dawn, thank you all for keeping us focused on what matters. the attorney general of new york trying to dissolve the nra, and it has nothing to do with gun rights or legislation. plus, the census bureau will end counting a month early. we'll talk about why the white house why not want a full count and who it really hurts. alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

"the new york times" note, trump has been trying to whitewash the census since the moment he took office. that whitewashing has taken many forms, starting with the administration's attempt to add a citizenship question on the census. >> mr. secretary, you lied to congress. you misled the american people, and you are complicit in the trump administration's intent to suppress the growing political power of the non-white population. you have already done great harm to census 2020. >> the supreme court ruled against that question last year, then just last month, trump directed the government to exclude undocumented immigrants when calculating seats in congress. and he faces multiple lawsuits over that decision. and now the counting will stop a month early. these changes threatening accuracy of the constitutionally mandated count, a count we only take once every ten years, which

could leave poor americans, minorities, immigrants and rural communities underrepresented and underfunded for the next decade. let's bring in a correspondent for npr who has been on top of this story. hansi, let's just set the stakes here. what happens if this census count is wrong, and how much does cutting the counting short by a month potentially affect the outcome of this census? >> when we're talk about the census, we are talking about power, and we're talking about money, and we're talking about consequences that last beyond the next election cycle. but we're talking about ten years worth of consequences. these are numbers that used to distribute federal funding including money for medicare, medica medicaid, other services. they're supposed to determine a state's share of congressional seats and how voting districts are gone. and if counting is shortened as is announced now, experts are saying, fuel workers are telling

me they are concerned there is going to be severe undercount that will significantly underrepresent people of color of overrepresenting white people. >> do you a sense of what's motiving the white house when it comes to the census? >> you know, this white house's press office has not given me any answers to me questions. one thing to keep in mind, they say they're ending early under directive from the commerce secretary who oversees the census bureau. it's an appointee of president trump, will better rocks or wi. the latest state population counts, the numbers used to determine congressional seats. what's interesting is career officials at the census brooks, top officials have already said as early as may because of the pandemic, all the of the delays, they can no longer meet that deadline.

here yes in august and the census bureau has cut short that counting. >> you know, trump tactics could hurt some of his own supporters as well. "the new york times" notes the poorer states which depend the most on federal funding like west virginia also tend to have lower census response rates. what happen there's? >> there are a lot of communities right now. if you take a look, if you go online and search response rates in the census, there is a map where it shows you response rates currently are. and more than half of states right now are falling below the national average at 53%, which means roughly four out of ten houses right now have not been counted yet. and those remaining households are disproportionately under a ton of groups that includes not only people of color, rural residents, young children. these are all populations that are very vulnerable and may not be included in the 2020 census. >> we're talking right now about the fact that the census is being cut a month short. but before this we were talking

about a citizenship question being added potentially to the census. you have the president saying that he doesn't want undocumented immigrants to be counted when it comes time to apportion congressional districts. what does that mean in practice? >> i think one thing to keep in mind here, a few things. number one, there is no citizenship question on the 2020 census. a lot of people still don't know that. number two to keep in mind the constitution wording about how this census is to be conducted, the fifth sentence of the constitution which spells out originally how the census was supposed to be conducted -- and the 14th amendment. but that's after the civil war required a whole number of persons in each state to be counted in order to determine how congressional seats are distributed among the states. but president trump is calling for unauthorized immigrants to be excluded. that is a policy decision that experts are saying is not possible to do.

statistically, it would require statistical sampling. there is no none on the form. they would have to produce an estimate. an estimate involving sampling cannot be used. the supreme court has already ruled on that. >> hansi, i'm so grateful to you that you're underlining that point there is no citizenship question on the 2020 census. in as much as it might have been about an attempt to not have that been so, it's also about a chilling effect and people being afraid to submit their results. hansi, thank you so much. they're unseen on the front lines of the pandemic. essential farm, who workers who are handling our food supply. in a special nbc news telemundo report, why many of these workers are willing to risk their own health for their jobs. first, new york sues to dissolve the national rifle association. what the lawsuit says the higher ups are accused of doing, next. thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer,

this week, new york attorney

general letitia james filed a lawsuit against the national rifle association that aims to dissolve the entire organization. this comes after an 18-month-long investigation found that nra leaders diverted funds to pay for personal expenses like family trips, contributing to a loss for the organization of more than $64 million over the last three years. here is how attorney general james described it to my colleague rachel maddow. >> the nra itself and these four individual defendants in fact failed to insure and put in place physical controls which allowed them to basically loot the corporation and use it as their own personal piggy bank. >> the nra has responded by filing a counter lawsuit accusing the attorney general of violating the organization's first amendment rights. and on twitter the nra referred to itself as the fiercest defender of america's freedom

fox decades at the box office. with me is march for our lives and sophomore at american university. and shannon watts, the founder of moms demand action for gun sense in america. shannon, when you heard about this suit, what came to mind for you? >> well, first of all, just so incredibly grateful to the new york attorney general letitia james for taking this action. this is the result of an 18-month look boo the nra and their corruption. she is seeking to dissolve the nra. frankly, they're leaking money and political power so quickly, i'm not sure there will be much left to dissolve by the end of this case. but make no mistake, the nra is single-handedly responsible for this burgeoning gun violence epidemic in our country, and they're the reason why gun safety bills are dieing on mitch mcconnell's desk while americans are dying in the streets. >> i do wonder, shannon, though,

since people often distinguish between the leadership of the nra and the membership of the nra, if you think that the core message here about fraud, about corruption will trickle down to its membership? >> well, it's an excellent point. we know from polling about 74% of nra members support stronger gun laws, like a background check on every gun sale. 80% of gunowners. and only one in ten of every gunowners even belongs to the nra. this is about a corrupt radicalized leadership that's really become a slush fund for gun manufacturers. if you look at wayne lapierre, the ceo's spending on private jet travel and suits from beverly hills. it only goes so long before your organization stops being a nonprofit and starts being a slush fund. and that's what we are seeing with the nra leadership. >> tatiana, march for our lives tweeted the term "thoughts and prayers to the nra following the

lawsuit news." tell me about that decision. >> yeah, you know, every single time there is a shooting, specifically a mass shooting, we see politicians who are -- their money comes from the nra, and they profit guns over people as a priority. money over us. they always tweet thoughts and prayers. and thoughts and prayers are not enough in this epidemic of gun violence. so the nra, thoughts and prayers. you don't act as a nonprofit. you don't care about gunowners that look like me, that look like fill leandro castille, so you have to go, period. >> i wonder what you make of the fact that nra tweet calling themselves the fiercest defender of america's freedom at the ballot box, and then you also have president trump tweeting a message if biden becomes president, quote, your great second amendment doesn't have a chance. your guns will be taken away immediately and without notice. no police, no guns. what's the danger of that

messaging, and how do you counterweight it? >> look, the nra gave donald trump $30 million for his campaign. so of course he supports them. and of course they're all working together to exploit traction tire tragedy and fear and chaos to juice gun sales. we've seen them do this for decades, and that's exactly what that is. they are out of step with mainstream america. the vast majority of whom support stronger gun laws. we're not about undoing the second amendment. this is simply about restoring the responsibilities that go along with gun rights. and joe biden has promised and pledged to do that. he said he will prioritize that. if we want to save lives we need to beat the nra up and down the ballot, just like we did in november of 2019 in their own backyard. we have to do it again in november of 2020. and we will. >> tatiana, before i let you go, the same day that this happened, march for our lives launched a six-figure digital ad campaign.

nine battleground states aimed at your generation. what is the message to them? >> yeah, you know, young people, we're taking our power and gen-z is making this election. we did it in 2018. we were told to dissolve the nra was too bold, but look what happened? it's going to happen. so young people, we can take that power. we have that power to change the world, and that's what we're doing. that's what we're going to keep doing. >> tatiana and shannon, thank you both. thousands of essential farm worker, many undocumented immigrants, are putting their lives on the line for their jobs. why many of them are avoiding being tested despite fears they may have been exposed to the virus. virus. and more one of a kind finds. it all ships free. and with new deals every day you can explore endless options at every price point.
