good evening and welcome to "politicsnation." tonight's lead, losers and suckers. that is how donald trump views those who paid the ultimate sacrifice under the commander in chief's commands. of course he continues to deny the reporting from the "atlantic" and now mutt maltipl sources that he has repeatedly disparaged the nation's war dead and wounded. but it's a tough sell when we've heard so much like it before from this president, and he's

been especially peevish as he attempts damage control, invoking the late senator john mccain, crying a river on social media and calling for even conservative journalists who corroborate the reports to be fired. it's obviously not what an incumbent president wants to be dealing with on labor day holiday weekend, which would normally mark the beginning of the campaign season. but in this very abnormal time and with just eight weeks to go, the trump campaign is grasping at strauws, as it tries to expad its demographic play book, particularly with african-american voters. it hasn't been going. most statistics show most are in the biden camp or at least not voting for the president. but then what can they really

expect when they watch president donald trump visit kenosha, wif wisconsin and make no mention of racism or police brutality when the country continues to quake around both or when voters of color learn, as they did this weekend, that the president called for a ban on anti-racism initiatives within federal agencies, parroting criticism by the right wing calling them, quote, unamerican. which leaves us with two questions. if anti-racism is not american in the president's mind, just what exactly is ? the second question is does he think black voters are stupid? we start with the perfect guest for both questions. joining me now is paris denard, a republican national committee adviser for black media affairs and also a board member of black

voices for trump. thank you for being with me, mr. denard. let me ask you a question. the president went to kenosha, wisconsin this week. he met with law enforcement and i think two faith leaders, didn't meet with the community, would not even request a meeting with the family, said he would only talk to maybe the mother by phone if the lawyers were not on. what about what would appear to black voters like he is being balanced and impartial in a situation that clearly has captured the attention of the country and black voters in particular? >> well, thank you, reverend, for having me on the show. it's a privilege to see you again. i would just say it's sort of inaccurate to say the president didn't want to reach out or meet with the blake family. he actually did reach out and the call to the mother did not

connect. so there was an attempt but they did not connect. >> well, is it not a fact that he said when the family said they would talk but their lawyers had to be on the phone that he refused to talk if the lawyers were going to be on the phone, even though the attorney general was on the trip with him? they did connect, he just refused to deal with them in the middle of an investigation when they wanted their lawyers to be part of the conversation. >> i'm glad you connected what you said earlier -- >> i said he did not want to talk to them unless their lawyers wasn't on the phone. that's what i said. >> that's not quite what i heard but we can keep moving forward. when you look at the faith leaders the president met with. they were two black -- >> i didn't ask you about the faith leaders. i asked you about the president meeting with law enforcement and two faith leaders and would not talk to the family without their lawyers present and did not meet with community leaders.

that's the question on the table. >> the answer on the table is just the fact that you don't like the community leaders he met with -- >> i did not say i did not like them. you continue to avoid the fact that he would not talk to the family. >> reverend sharpton, he did reach out to the family. you just admitted that. so stop -- >> and set terms in which the family would have to put themselves in a position of having to talk without reputation -- >> i see that you're a little upset about the president. >> i'm not upset at all. i'm trying to get you to answer the question. >> number one, the president did reach out to the family. they are unable to connect. he did meet with communities. not the communities i might have wanted but they did meet. the president did make inroads

in engaging with the black community -- >> we'll get to that. kenosha was the point and he would not agree to what both parents wanted to have done. let me ask you this. the trump administration has announced they would do an investigation through the justice department into kenosha. is that correct? >> i think that is the truth. i think that's a good thing. >> why would the black voters that you reach out to feel that that is a fair investigation when the head of the justice department, william barr, has said that jacob, the victim here who was shot in the back seven times, was in the midst of dealing with being part of committing a felony and that he was armed when he was shot when there, first of all, seems to be he's concluding an investigation before it has happened and he's the head of the department that is supposed to be investigating this. and, secondly, there is no where in the tapes that the world has

seen where he, mr. blake, had any weapon. where did that come from and does that not add fuel to those of us that question the objectivity of this justice department under president donald trump? >> well, i think one of the things that we have to do is wait to get all the facts and all the videos -- >> mr. barr didn't wait for all the facts. he said he was committing a fell a -- felony. he said as the attorney general this man was committing a felony ands armed. don't you think you ought to be telling him to wait for all the facts? >> as i understand it, reverend sharpton, the justice department is weighing in to help with the investigation, which is being led by the local authorities in kenosha, which is how our system of justice, as you very well know, occurs. what is even greater of importance to the black community there in kenosha, as well as getting justice is to ensure that violence, that crime, that deaths and that the

destruction of property does not continue. that's why it's important for us to have public safety and ensure that communities of color, that across the nation, especially kenosha are safe. there should be a reasonable expectation that just because you want to protest it does not lead to rioting, violence, crime and death. that's what the blake family wants, that's what they have called for, what many of the black leaders of the country have called for. yet we have not seen joe biden call out and denounce -- >> we can get into that back and forth. i'm not speaking for joe biden. clearly he has denounced it. >> that sounds like getting into it to me. >> you did duck my question on william barr but i'll let you duck two. you get three ducks on "politicsnation." you're up to two. if that's what you're interested in and all of us have denounced

violence and any damage to property, then why did the president defend the 17-year-old white militia person who killed two people in kenosha and in fact has been known to attend trump rallies. he didn't seem to denounce that young man when he was given a direct question about it. he started saying the young man was defending himself and the young man might have been harmed or killed if he didn't shoot himself. the two people that were killed in kenosha were done by a trump supporter in the militia. does that not qualify under denouncing violence? >> so i don't think that it's pri f appropriate for to us politicize what happened in kenosha, which you're attempting to do. >> you brought up about violence, we didn't want people harmed. i'm saying two people killed in kenosha was done by a supporter of mr. trump who he defended.

are you denying he defended it? i can get the tape if you want to hear him. >> go ahead and play the tape by i hope you also would play the tape of joe biden denouncing the man shot in cold blood in front of his business, i didn't hear him denounce that. >> now you're saying that president donald trump would only denounce if biden denounces something else and that the fact that he defended it is justified by you saying that biden, who has denounced violence, didn't do something to a specific case. all right, that's three. i want to humor your argument that this president can make sufficient inroads with black voters to matter. >> he can't. >> the polling doesn't bear it out. >> yes, it do. >> according to a poll just after the rnc convention, the president got a 9% boost with black voters on his job performance to a muscular 24%. and then from a fox news a month

ago, black support for this president 8%. 8%. and this is fox news, mind you, which the president loved before he didn't. >> so i'm glad you mentioned the one poll but we can talk about the cnn poll, the zogby poll, rasmussen poll, all showing the president received increased support from the black community and after the failed democratic national convention. the president is having a successful time engaginengaginge going and talking to black journalists and engaging with our black voices for trump community centers, we are making progress. we see the president's impact is significant because the american people, the black community specifically, is looking at the difference. they're looking at a man who led

criminal justice reform under president donald trump and joe biden who left with the 1994 crime bill which you said years ago was a bad thing to have. >> it was. and i say it now and i said it to mr. biden and mr. biden said it had unintended consequences. but what is interesting to me is -- what is interesting to me is that mr. trump supports that crime bill now. he says now that he supports stop and frisk and many of the things in that crime bill that we objected to. do you deny that your candidate, president donald trump has said we need to have stop and frisk now nationally? yes or no? >> i do not recall that conversation. i want to talk about is that this president -- >> you what? you don't know that the president has said he wants stop and frisk nationally? and you are part of blacks for trump? you don't know that he advocates stop and frisk? >> reverend sharpton, you can bring up stop and frisk if you want to --

>> no, the president did. i'm bringing up what your candidate did. you brought up the crime bill. i keep bringing up things that you raised. this wasn't my questions for you. >> you raised the fact that joe biden called black men that looked like me predators. let's talk about the fact that he said -- >> we are talking about your candidate that you are a spokesman for. are you saying, therefore, your defense of the president is to talk about what joe biden did 30 years ago? right now donald trump says we should have stop and frisk. right now he is disbanding all of the anti-race racracism edic came out in federal agencies under the obama administration. no 20 years ago, no 30 years ago, right now. tell me how black voters are to view that right now. >> i think black voters are viewing the difference between joe biden and president trump in a favorable way. this is why you see increasing in poll -- >> that's the fourth duck. i didn't ask you for a

comparison. i asked you to defend the record. i have respect for you. i understood why you couldn't answer the questions thank you for being with us. now to my panel, danielle moody, and republican strategist noah nipur. when we have any of the republican spokesperson on, their only defense is to go back 30 years ago, which many of us have raised to joe biden and he's answered. but they can't defend donald trump's statements. not to be able to admit i'm for stop and frisk nationally, that's the answer and he's defending things that the obama administration put in place like housing discrimination and those

things, and they've resindcinde that and yet they want black voters to feel there's progress. >> reverend al, as a republican, it's a very difficult position to be in right now with everything that's going on in the country. and i think that it's very clear that at least for me that i'm seeing a division between the grand old party and president trump. president donald tru president trump was or nominee. as far as african-american outreou outreach for the republican party, i will admit i think we are not doing everything we need to do to try to attract more african-americans to the republican party. and i really feel there's a lot of republicans that come on

msnbc and they, you know, they need to admit the majority of foreign policy voters are aligning with the democrat beic party. once you admit that and when you can dissect that, you can begin to think what can we do as a part to include more, to do more and to see where we can start mending to try to attract more african-americans to our party. >> it seems this president wants to run a george wallace, richard

nic nixon law-and-order -- i saw one study over 90% of the protests have been nonviolent. we had tens of thousands people march less than a mile from the white house last friday. the president said nothing and there was no one incident. this was the largest d demonstration around this issue. he didn't make one common, not one tweet, because he wants the paintings of these protests as all violent and all reckless and all looting, which none of us condone. do you think this is playing to a base he feels in the white community that may not frankly be as populated as he thinks? >> donald trump sows chaos.

the more people that are terrified, they will vote for him out of fear. it wouldn't behoove him to talk about the march of washington or the 70 black lives matter protests that are all nonviolent and peaceful. he's going to continue to tour burned out buildings and show much more care or fake empathy for property than he do with people. i think the reason why paris can't answer any of the questions you posed for him is because there is no answer for it. donald trump is not trying to reach out to black people. he's not interested in reaching out to black people because he's a racist. everything he has said and done about the community is based in racism. the percentage of people he's pulling on board, i don't know what they are, i don't know what polls paris is looking at but

the democratic national convention was not a failure. joe biden's and the poll numbers rose. the rnc convention stayed flat line for donald trump because i guess fear mongering is not that entertaining for people. >> noelle, what is the lasting damage as we continue to see this kind of vitriol be raised by the actual president of the united states, not only with race but in the demeaning things that he has been quoted as saying with three our for sources backing it up and even conservatives saying he has said certain things about military people who have lost their lives. the permanent damage this does in the american political psyche is something of concern to me. >> reverend al, yeah, it's a concern to a lot of republicans and it's a lot of concern to the

general public. ever since donald trump has got i don't know on the stage, we know he has a bully pulpit style of poll titics where he does a of name calling. it's gotten very divisive. a lot of republicans, pundits like myself that go on national talk shows are left with the burden of trying to explain what he's talking about, explain what he means this is a very unusual position for republicans. usually we're talking about more tollcies versus talking about, you know, politics style or a president's personality. so going forward it's become increasingly worrisome that we are at a cross roads. it has never been more of a violent situation.

it's never been one that i've ever seen before, and i've worked on a lot of races and done a lot of fund-raising for republican candidates. and i've never seen tensions so bad, reverend. >> all right. i'm going to have to leave it there, danielle and noelle, thank you both. coming up, my memo to the president on his delusions of grandeur about his place in presidential history. first my colleague richard lui with today's top stories. thanks, rev. covid cases go closer to 6.2 million nationwide. the death toll nears 190,000. cnbc reports some drug makers competing to bring a coronavirus vaccine to market plan to issue a public statement as soon as next week. they say they will not, though, seek government approval until

for this week's memo to trump, i want to talk about delusions of grandier. like, for example, this claim you keep making, mr. president, that you've done more for black americans than any president since abraham lincoln.

any represeutable historian wil tell you barack obama brought access to health insurance to millions of americans plus showed every little black child in this country that their biggest dreams were possible. so of course the moment you stepped into the oval office, you began dismantling every achieve meant mament made by ths first black president, all while giving your tacit approval to white sue presidents at every term. it started early in your program, defunding of programs despite warnings that white supremacist terrorism was amongs biggest threats. >> i think there's blame on both

sides. you also have people, very fine people, on both sides. >> your shameful refuse to -- just this week you defended a 17-year-old supporter of yours who were accused of murdering two black lives matter advocates in wiflt. you think you can earn our votes? you spread fear and ban muslims from our country all white the incidences of radical right wing extremist violence have skyrocketed during your administration. instead of rising to the occasion during the largest peaceful protest movement in decades, you've unleashed administration officials to

deploy federal troops in the streets, exacerbating the problem and oftentimes introducing violence into protests that otherwise would have remained peaceful. and you do it against the will of locally elected leaders. you ask for black voters while dehumanizing and criminalizing the very black americans who would cast them, all while anyone paying attention has seen the violent es escalators supp you. you dismantled an ballpaobama e

program because you think you're special, the chosen one, the best president since lincoln. and you want to have it both ways. you use black folks fighting for our very lives as fodder to scare your white base enough that they'll forget your myriad failures and then you turn around and try to court those very black voters all while your administration sends uniformed forces to confront us with violence in our own communities. mr. president, i'm going to tell you something that you should have been told many decades ago. your delusions of grandeur are just that, delusions. and come november you'll be in for a rude awakening because americans can see both sides of your two-faced approach to so-called law and order, and we can't wait for you to finally be on the receiving end of the kind of real justice your administration has not been

(fireworks exploding) welcome back. as we draw closer to november's election, more and more republican voices are lining up to endorse joe biden, including former defense secretary william cohen, who said, quote, we are in serious need of a leader with optimism and competence who gives us hope. joe biden is that leader. joining me now is william cohen, former defense secretary in the clinton administration and republican senator from maine for 18 years. thank you for being with us, mr. cohen. let me ask you this. the reason i said michael cohen rather than william cohen, is

michael cohen made a statement that i want to pose to you when he was talking in an interview that with be played in full soon. in an nbc exclusive set to air this tuesday, lester holt interviewed him, a former trump attorney, as you know, who had some scary things to say about november's election. take a listen. >> do you think he'll win another term as president? >> donald trump will do neg and everything within which to win. and i believe that includes manipulating the ballots. i believe he would even go so far as to start a war in order to prevent himself from being removed from office. my biggest fear is that there will not be a peaceful transition of power in 2020. >> now, you are a republican, you served also in a democratic administration. you've been a senator for 18 years. does it disturb you that someone

that was the president's lawyer and close to him would raise this? does it give you cause to pause with concern about the actual election and transition of power if this president were to lose? >> well, i think we have to take his warning very seriously because we've seen the lengths to which president donald trump will go, that there's no bottom to how far he will drop do you -- down in order to malign someone, to criticize them, to mock them, to give them names that are demeaning and degrading and to engage in conduct that, frankly, would have driven any other president in existence in history out of office. for intervening in a judicial prosecution. to pardon individuals who are about to go to jail. to offer them some sort of

lenient treatment if they don't talk. that's somethingrichard nixon did in watergate, where he was paying hush money to people on his staff not to cooperate. that's minor in terms of what is taking place today in trying to manipulate the judicial system. there is nothing beyond the pale of what president donald trump will do or try to do and every state has to be prepared for the potential that there will be groups that will try to disrupt the election during election day. when have you ever heard a president of the united states say publicly that if i don't win, the election is fraudulent. so heads i win, tails you lose. i've never heard a president do anything that is tantamount to that. i think we have to take it very seriously in terms of what he would do and could do and be

prepared. >> now, the president is quoted calling american soldiers losers and suckers, disparaging wounded veterans and casualties of war. as a former secretary of defense, what's your response to that? >> well, the sad thing is that it's believable. in other words, to have a president alleged to have made such a statement, any other president you would say, wait, we better look at this very carefully. that under no circumstance would that happen. but we know what that's capable of. we saw what he did to john mccain, to dismiss him as a nonhero, or as a loser. to denigrate a gold star family. to mock a handicap reporter. those are just the beginning. then he also mocked in a way or

undercut jim mattis, the four-star general that became his secretary of defense and said, well, he's really an overrated general. or for general john kelly, who was his chief of staff and head headed up the homeland security, to say he was over his head, he was weak at the end. john kelly was probably overwhelmed by the case off that trump was creating. because most generals, four star generals know one thing -- good order and discipline. that's what our military is all about. when you put a good order and discipline four-star general in that white house where chaos and back biting takes place, you can see how it would lead anyone who

would lead a country and men and women on the battlefield to not be able to handle. and then for him to suggest, again i don't know this but i believe this, that he would are refer to our men and women in our military to say anyone that is smart doesn't go into the military. anyone that is not a loser wouldn't go into the military. again, i don't know this, but the sad part is it's believable because based on his conduct in every other endeavor that i've watched him try to corrupt or politicize the justice department, the intelligence community, the defense department, the state department and our diplomatic officers who served so well overseas. so the sad part again, it's believe, even if we don't know it's actually true. but i have great confidence in

the person who wrote that, jonathan goldberg. >> "the atlantic." >> we're out of time but i must ask you, the current maine senator susan collins is facing a tough reelect. she was on your staff for more than a decade and calls you a mentor. do you think senator collins rebuking trump and endorsing biden would help her in maine? >> well, i don't know if that would help her. maine is really divided into two states. i think what's going to help susan collins is the people of meflt know her and i believe they trust her and when they disagree with a vote she has cast, they will listen to her give her rationale and they will give her great credibility because she's had so many years of service and i believe that even though you disagree with any given vote, maine people will basically say you're an honest person and i may disagree with you on a given issue but i

trust you to carry out the traditions of the maine people and serve our country well. >> thank you for being with us. we want to update you on the scene in louisville right now. for more than 100 days protesters have been demanding justice for breonna taylor. those calls continued on derby day. militia members, some heavily armed, have been holding a row test of their own. we are keeping an eye on the issue. our nation was hit with a new form of grief in the wave of police brutality. their names, george floyd who died after police in minneapolis were called because of a misunderstanding at a local convenience store that led to floyd being pinned down beneath three police officers, his life

cut short. breonna taylor, a louisville medical worker, who was inside her own home when police charged in shooting and killer her. jacob blake, the kenosha, wisconsin man who was shot seven times in the back, his three young children looking on. treyfoot pellerin was killed in a barrage of police gun fire outside a convenience star. daniel prude to died after being apprehended by police in rochester, new york. and then there's john kizy, who was shot and killed by police on monday after he tried to flee during a traffic stop. joining me now is civil rights attorney benjamin crump. most of the cases i just named you represent the families, attorney crump, which is why i

call you black america's attorney general. before i go to that, let me go back to the case that i mentioned in kenosha. i want you to listen to attorney general william barr this week. listen to this. >> in the jacob case, he was in the midst of committing a felony and he was armed. >> now, how are we in the public supposed to feel that the federal government is aiding an objective investigation if the attorney general has just said that the one shot in the back was committing a felony, which to my knowledge no one has established as a fact, and that he was armed, and i didn't see any knife, gun, anything, in the video that clearly showed him going around the car and was shot in the back seven times. what does this do to the credibility of the justice department aiding in this investigation?

>> reverend al, it does what jacob blake scenr., who you kno very well, says that he tries to justify, he is grossly misinformed. there is no time that jacob blake jr. ever puts those office in a dangerous situation and there's no evidence that we have been informed by the wisconsin department of justice or in video or witness accounts that we've taken dozens of, nobody said that jacob blake jr. was armed. in fact, reverend al, they say that the police were the aggressors from start to finish. so if attorney general barr putting his finger on the scales of justice to try to exxonerate

police, we in black america say it's legalized genocide of colored people and it's starting at the very top of this trump administration with the top law enforcement officer in america, that being william barr. >> let me ask you this for the record because i want to get into the case in lafayette and los angeles that you represent, but is it not a fact and i don't know if you saw the earlier part of the show, that the family and mother of jacob said that they would talk with president donald trump when they reached out if their attorneys could be on the phone. is that not a fact? >> that is absolutely a fact and they were willing to do it but for whatever reason, the president say he did not want the family to have their legal representatives on the phone. and this was distinct from anything from president obama,

we talked to trayvon's parents, vice president biden called george floyd and his parents were on the phone and it's only donald trump for whatever reason who don't want black who were shot by the police to have their lawyers on the phone. it makes no sense, reverend al. >> i don't know what he could say that he wouldn't want their lawyers to hear. let me ask you, give us what happened in lafayette, louisiana first. >> thank you for bringing attention to this because this video, we've all see jacob blake's video, where he's shot seven times in the back. but treyfoot hellerin in lafayette, louisiana, a young man having a mental health crisis, 11 officers followed him, walked behind him for half a mile. and then they shoot him nine times in the back, and it's all

on video because the hurricane, a lot of people didn't catch it, it was swept under the rug, but now that the hurricane is over, his family is going to have his funeral on next week. they're asking you and national action network to help support them to get justice and for everybody to see that video. if you saw the george floyd video, the jacob blake video, you need to see the treyfoot pellerin video. it is shocking. >> and certainly we're looking into it at national action network and i expect to be talking with the family and you about this. los angeles, this is also a disturbing act. i want to us bring it to national attention so when we talk about this other pandemic that we're facing in the black community, people will know we're not exaggerating. it's like one or two a week.

tell us what happened in los angeles. >> deeson kinsey, reverend al, riding a bicycle while black. that was his crime. and it's all on video. you see him running from the police. his hands in the air. they shoot him at least 15 times in the back in broad daylight, reverend al. and you right. america's dealing with covid-19 pandemic. well, we in black america have to deal with that and we have to deal with covid 1619 pandemic because the systematic racism and oppression exists despite the denials from president trump and william barr. it is real, and we keep seeing it over and over again doing this pandemic on video how they keep killing black people

unjustifiably and these are the police, reverend al. that's why we have to continue to call them out and speak truth to power. and thank you for always u using -- feel that they are marginalized by this administration. >> all right. benjamin crump, thank you, as always for being with us. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ♪
