politicsnation. tonight's lead, watch for the hook right now. the planet appears to be working perfectly, even in

donald trump's absence from the white house there's a near perfect synergy between the chaos of this following and the cowardice of his allies of elected office and the same gop lawmakers who are taller kelly cosigned the insurrection now insist there was an isolated incident, even after some of them participated in the horror of that day or one of its many run-ins and run ups in the past year when trump artisans attempt to run the campaign vehicles off the role in texas where white nationalists planned to kidnap and brutally murdered the governor of michigan and right-wing terrorists storms the oregon state house armed with weapons of war at now congressional republicans even if they're internally opposed to the

insurrection that threaten their lives, that forced them the coward fear the same legislators are content to use the disorder sold by the trump years to stay in power. that is why they killed the commission to investigate the insurrection before it ever stood a chance. and that is why they are now trying to kill senate democrats voter protection legislation. but standing between the lawlessness being generated by the gop state, lawmakers and the lawlessness being upheld by congressional republicans is the biden administration and is justice department which will be doubling its voting right team ahead of its suppression somewhere. we're standing in their way with his leadership, my next guest. joining me now, democratic congressman jim clyde burn of

south carolina. also a house majority whip. congressman some 450 65 americans have been arrested for participation in the january 6th insurrection and among them, six members of the right-wing three percenters. a group charged with conspiracy this past week that the justice department says it expects at least 550 people will ultimately be charged. i emphasize this scale of the doj investigation because congress investigated in september 11th attack. the oklahoma city bombing and of course the attack on the u.s. embassy and benghazi and when it comes to the justice department, has called the most confidence investigation has ever prosecuted. your republican colleagues say that we need to move on. literally, nothing to see here.

and so they blocked the time a crap bill on the floor from the first time this year-old to kill the commission. your response, congressman? and is it time for a select committee however partisan it may be, it appears to be the gop? >> thank you so much for having me, reverend. i think there are a couple of things that are timely as we speak. number one, i think it's time for schumer majority leader schumer to put that deal back on the floor. he said that he might bring it up again. i think there may be enough republicans to now see that it's time for us to conduct this investigation. if for no other reason than the recent revelations that have come out as to what was going on, not just with trump but with both of his attorneys in general.

we've had two of them now and it looks as if both of them were doing things that went beyond the law and i believe all of that is a part of this. so put it back on the floor, and then let's see what happens. and if the senate gets the 60 votes than that nancy pelosi will move forward in the house and assert her authority as speaker to put together the right kind of investigation. she has some alternative she might pursue. she could empower a single committee and beef that committee up and let them move forward. or, she could create a select committee or select subcommittee as she did as it relates to coronavirus. but whatever she does, i would hope that you would staff it sufficiently, fronted

sufficiently and have a very extensive investigation. because this democracy is worth saving. it may not be for some of my republican colleagues before the future, not just of this country but this world that we live in, we need to make sure that we keep this democracy moving forward and pursue the perfection and i do believe she will do that. >> so before i move off that, you're saying that senate majority leader schumer ought to bring this back to the floor to senate. if he can get the 60 votes, then speaker pelosi should move forward and have several options to do that. let's move on to voting rights for a minute and the big lie weaponized to undermine them. as i asked your colleague, congresswoman jayapal in the washington state yesterday, are you heartened by this announcement from the justice

department that it will be expanding its voting rights contingent working with other agencies to combat the suppression campaign by state legislators? is it enough, especially as -- being installed in the senate? >> now, it is not enough. look, it is one thing to put an investor station in place and that the results and what we call after the fact investigations. elections would be over. people would be serving in office and it would be years for us to find out what may or may not have gone wrong. we need to do prevention stuff and this is the lesson we have. it's got a lot of prevention stuff in it and it has what we call a review that we make.

before a law is put into place a process is put into place and so we should do what is necessary to investigate when something may go wrong but we have the authority under the constitution, article one section four gives congress the authority to determine how fairly elections are conducted and so this whole notion of the state legislatures all over the country now having to understand the trip states that now does stuff, oppose stuff. some of it already passed. and then it will suppress voting and make it easier for people to thrive the elections. come on, what is that all about? so who should prevent that stuff from happening? we can do that with hr1 and hr4. >> now let me go next

congressman. i have to ask you, the bombshell news this weekend that than president donald trump leaned on his doj -- doj to spy on and sees communication from political enemies. specifically democrats on the house intelligence committee, like your colleague adam schiff and just today we see a new york times reporting that former white house counsel don mcgahn and his wife were reportedly among those targeted by the justice department with the subpoena for the count record while mcgahn was still serving under than president donald trump. your reaction, congressman? >> well, you know that's what i've been saying. a lot of people look at this kind of stuff and it's them. well let me tell you something mcgahn was this man's council and they were spying on him.

that will tell you what this is all about. it may be that my watch there would be happening to my family today but just look out. it is going to happen to you as well. we have got to get to the bottom of this, we can pretty close to watching the insurrection succeed. you know i used to teach history and i used to tell my students all the time that roman empire four seven six eight eight, the greatest empire known to the world this is the greatest democracy the world has ever seen. the greatest empire can fall the greatest democracy can fall. we have better be careful here anti behind whether or not this guy is a mirror of your pardon and this is about the country. this is not about any one party

over another this is whether or not this democracy will succeed and we are in the throes of a real test of whether or not democratic governments will rue the day. now, one quick last question when negotiations between the white house and the senate gop now defunct, is it time to pursue president biden's infrastructure plan through reconciliation, again, reconciliation -- dropping this focus on bipartisanship to get it done in line with what democrats actually wanted in the first place? i ask because reporting we've seen has democrats divided over whether the president is too distracted by infrastructure to focus on other domestic properties like voting rights, for the people lacked and john lewis act where do you come down on this congressman? >> i come down on moving forward.

we cannot allow this president to go the way like president obama. president obama put a lot of faith and confidence in the senate to do where they should do, and they never did it. remember the 2000 i'm so called, what we call the bill to build back the economy tab lost in 2008. remember, 2008, obama was not president then when obama became president, he put together a very comprehensive deal, 92 almost a trillion dollars, the senate got it, could it back 200 billion dollars and he never got the full recovery. joe biden was there he was in charge of implementing that. he knows what happened. and he is not going to let that happen to him and so, i think it's time for us to move forward because the vast

majority of the american people, democrats and republicans support what he is doing. just because you can get republicans in the senate to buy into it, that doesn't mean it's not bipartisan. so he has bipartisan support, let's move forward, let's put the infrastructure deal on the floor, let's pass it and let's see whether or not the senate will vote it down >> all right, and we're going to have to leave it there. always glad to have you thank you so much congressman jim clark bergh if you were watching yesterday's politicsnation. you know about the california judge who overturned that states assault weapons ban. comparing those weapons of war to swiss army knives. the judges ruling includes a 30 day window for appeal by california's attorney general, bob bondi, who joins me now. mister attorney general, thank

you for being here. what will the appeals process look like in this case? >> well, we father appeal ready to address this very concerning, very disturbing, very problematic ruling that in my view is fundamentally flawed on the law the facts and when it comes to common sense and we're going to get it a briefing schedule where we're going to be durant to temper. the responding briefs and hearing and then a ruling and in the interim, we are seeking a stay on implementation of that lower court order. that very programmatically compared a assault weapon to a swiss army knife but also said that more californians have died from the covid-19 vaccine the covid-19 vaccine, not covid 19 mask shootings. so, a lot to be concerned about and we're going to bring this to the next level and we hope for a reversal of that lower court ruling. >> now, under the current state,

california is one of only seven states plus the district of columbia with a ban on assault weapons. how effective has a lot been at curbing gun violence in the state and what are the limitations of a state by state patchwork of laws to address this problem? >> it's been very effective in california. it's been a pillar and a foundation of one of the strongest sets of common sense gun laws in the nation. as a result, we have one of the lowest numbers of firearm deaths -- related deaths. and we certainly can't act alone we believe. we've done our part on the cutting, edge when it comes to commence bylaws. we also need the other states to act. we are a nation with states with open borders and if someone can get a gun that's illegal in california, in a neighboring state and bringing it into our, state is a problem for california it's a problem for all of our communities. we also need the federal

government to act. we need the assault weapons black man to implement universal background checks. to make sure we have bands on high capacity legacies. so, california has lied on this, it has saved lives. numbers over the years, over the three decades that we've had the assault weapons plans and many of the laws we have in place, and we also need other states to act and we need the federal government to act. >> let's start with voting laws. with dozens of states passing restrictive laws to make it harder for people of color to vote, california is one of the few states looking to expand the franchise are you in contact with other state ages about this issue? if so, what are those conversations like? >> we are in contact through some of the national attorney general associations and roll very concerned about the rising number of voter suppression laws that are coming onto the scene throughout the nation,

including of course in georgia, in other states. criminalizing acts related to the act of boone to putin. giving food and water to those in lines waiting to exercise their fundamental right to vote and make their voice heard. and, when california believe we are a model -- expanding access to the fundamental right to vote. having automatic voter registration. having online voter registration and same day voter registration as well as early voting and expensive vote by mail programs that has allowed for more people to access their fundamental rights to vote and shape their government and shape or collective future. so, we believe that's where we should be heading and right now, as we saw in the most recent election, we had record high turnout for communities of color. communities that have often felt like the right to vote has been -- has had obstacles between it and them. and now that we have more people coming out of vote for immunity's of color, our vulnerable communities and

we're seeing the response of these voter suppression laws, it's very concerning and i made a call out to criminal reformers, policy makers and my colleagues to make sure that we are pushing back against those voter suppression laws and leaning into laws that expand that fundamental right to vote. >> now on the topic of voting, the for the people act is currently hanging on by a thread. wet with these kinds of federal reforms be mean for state attorney generals in the administration of elections? >> it would create an incredible foundation for access, increased access to voting rights throughout the nation. it wouldn't allow for the retaliatory jim crow like voter suppression laws that we see. it will create federal preemption to make sure that wherever you were in this incredible united states of america, you have a floor.

a floor of fundamental access to the right to vote that we all should have. so, it would mean a lot to get that passed and would help state attorneys general and communities throughout that nations to protect that fundamental right to vote. >> last question. california signed on to a supreme court brief hurting the court to keep the eviction one moratorium in place. specifically citing the fact that black and brown renters are both most at risk and more less likely to have access to covid vaccination. what will the consequences before california if the court overturns the moratorium? >> it will be horrific. it'll be tragic. we will see some of our most vulnerable communities be evicted into homelessness. and into incredibly vulnerable circumstances where their lives, health animal being are put at

serious risk. and society should be judged based on how we treat our most vulnerable. now is not the time to remove the eviction moratorium, now is a time to see and value our vulnerable communities and make sure that they are being connected -- protected. right now, there are 40 million renters throughout the united states of america who are at risk because if this moratorium gets reversed, so the cdc has done the right thing. no one should ever be evicted into homelessness, period, full stop, and of story. and we have to make sure we do our part to protect our most vulnerable communities throughout. >> well thank you california tierney general rob button. coming up on politics nation, climate change will fix everyone. what you may not know how hard it hits communities of color. we have new data that shows just how dire the situation has become. i'll tell you about it in today's rise up. and later, president biden's

summit with russian president putin is only days away. and we just found out that they actually agreed on at least one thing. but first, my colleague which church louis without their top news stories. >> a good sunday to. some of the stories we're watching for you. president biden wrapped up his time at the g7 summit this morning in cornwall england. before getting on a plane to beat queen elizabeth the second. her majesty created the first couple at windsor castle and participated in an expression of the garden of honor ceremony. the president then travel to brussels for a neighbor summit with other world leaders and allies on sunday, he's scheduled to meet with russian president vladimir putin in geneva. fierce wildfires in utah. an estimated 90% of the state fixes in extreme drought right now. can't fire started abroad canyon fire west of utah like that is. it burned over 90 acres of land and it's 20% contained. u.s. state fire department

to talk about climate change and climate justice. because this week, we, hit another dye your milestone. as the ratio of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere set a new record and while all the talk about co2 and how many degrees or celsius the planet has already warmed can be confusing at times, president biden put the climate crisis front and center this week. >> when she told us the greatest threat in america was. global warming. because it will be significant population movements.

fights overland. millions of people leaving. places that are literally sinking. >> climate change constitutes a global emergency and the pressure is on president biden and the rest of the g7 leaders to commit to big bold mitigation efforts. while it might seem like an issue like a rapidly warming planet would actually impact all nations equally, the story of global warming is also a story of geopolitical and racial injustice. scientists have been warning for decades that the wealthy countries whose emissions cause the crisis will not be the ones who will bear the brunt of the damage. instead, rising seas will disproportionately threaten small island nations while droughts will ravage african and south american countries far more than their

counterparts in europe and north america. but the racial imbalance isn't limited to international inequities. right here in the united states, the worst effects of climate change are already falling most heavily on black, brown, and indigenous communities. studies show that people of color are twice as likely to experience increased heat stress in their neighborhoods and an ugly legacy of the history of redlining. black people are also more likely to live in flood prone areas and even when government agents like fema come in and help, studies show that people of color are often left behind. meanwhile, the face of the climate movement is often portrayed as mostly white. even as black, brown, and indigenous activists have been fighting for recognition of this issue for generations. but today's environmental movement is finally beginning

to reflect the diversity that has always been there. young people around the world have run out of patience and now they're leading the way in the fight to cut emissions and protect ancestral land from rising temperatures and sees. so it's up to us to rise up and join them. this issue can seem daunting. how can one person make a difference in a crisis engulfing the entire planet? to start, we can follow the example being set for us by young people. time is of essence and while individual actions like flying less often, eating less meat and divesting from fossil fuel companies are good, what we need is big systemic change. the american jobs plan currently stalled by republicans in congress has billions in funding for climate

action. we should demand it be passed and even bigger how children and kids all over the world should not bear this burden alone. it's time to rise up together before it's too late because as the kids say there is no planet. there is no planet planet ♪ well, the names have all changed ♪ ♪ since you hung around ♪ ♪ but those dreams have remained ♪ ♪ and they've turned around ♪ ♪ who'd have thought they'd lead you ♪ ♪ (who'd have thought they'd lead you) ♪ ♪ back here where we need you ♪ ♪ (back here where we need you) ♪ ♪ yeah, we tease him a lot... ♪ welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you.

would you expect to see out of this meeting between the two leaders? >> well look, i'm hopeful that president biden is going to lay down some clear markers about what is going to be acceptable and unacceptable in his administration with regards the russia. i think that obviously we know, we won't see a repeat of what we saw in helsinki with the former president siding with putin over our intelligence analysts. but, you know, just not being trump isn't quite good enough. i think he needs to lay clear markers on human rights. lay clear markers when it comes to the cybersecurity and the cyberattacks. that russia has either been actively involved in or at least allowing, emanating from their country and, you know, thinking with human rights and political rights, for people like navalny and for other advocates of democracy throughout the globe who have been in danger from putin's

progression outside of his border. so i think you find a strong on, that it will be a good week. >> christina, president biden says he's looking forward to working with putin but unlike former president trump at the helsinki summit in 2018, he will not hold a joint press conference with him. president biden has also issued sanctions on russia back in april after four years of a prior commander-in-chief using flattery to try to get along with putin. how will president biden's change of tune? >> i agree with him wholeheartedly. i think so many americans are looking for the united states president that is consistent in our message that we will not stand idly bottle. russia committee of and rights violations and sides with some of our adversaries across the world. you know, not having a press

conference, i think it's fine until the two leaders can come to some sort of consensus, there's really no point in sort of having this photo op, essentially and a press conference that doesn't really tell the world what they are really working on. i think the good thing is, joe biden has had 40 years of working girl barely committed ten, it would've done work on the international affairs, he's worked with leaders, not just in his role as vice president but as his role as a senator and he's keenly aware, and we've seen this, i think the character issue with joe biden's. but we want to put the american people first, however, he was the position america as a partner with our various other countries, adversaries are not. so we are more safe, that's just domestically and abroad. so i think that's part of his foundation of really trying to come to the table in when america will or will not. but the key is to really make

sure that we are safe in a global sense, because we are global citizens and not just american citizens. >> pam, as the g7 summit wrapped up, today president biden said this during his closing remarks at a press conference earlier. listen. >> i convey to each of my g7 counterparts is that the united states is doing to do our part. america is back at the table. america is back at the table. and notice there was a lot of coverage of my individual comments made by my colleagues about how we were all getting along together but the truth of the matter, is we did. i felt a genuine sense of enthusiasm that america was back at the table unfolding gauged. >> the president is celebrating his success and she seven, but as humans the relationship with our allies, what else does he need to do to ensure that the u.s. is agenda remains heard on

a global scale? >> who was sort of this bipartisan consensus in washington evident world war ii. and there were some mistakes made by republicans, by presidents of both parties, republicans included but there is just the sense that u.s. trade fight refuting. to human rights ramadan, brought our own interest when it comes to trade, when it comes to opening markets in ways that will be good for our economy here at home. and making sure that our allies will be with him in agreements, whether it's paris or other agreements of the nature. biden is hopefully reinstating all of that. i think that's going to require some running back of some of trump's harmful terrorists, particularly on the rest of the world, maybe not on china. and re-engaging in a number of these other treaties that he removed as from. >> christina, tensions behind

the bipartisan struggle over passing infrastructure legislation heated up this week, they're now saying that they will not agree to any legislation that excludes climate change provisions. democratic senator, ed markey for example, summing it up in a tweet writing, no comment, no deal should democrats continue to fight? >> they have to. we can't keep having a democratic senate that just keeps giving the republicans to store. i fundamentally believe the compromise but especially, as you laid out so eloquently about climate change and the desperation that we will soon find ourselves in if we don't make any real substantive changes as a nation, as a leader on this issue, we need to have democrats with a backbone that are going to stand up to the republican colleagues. they're also going to try and convince their colleagues of the necessity of coming to the table in good faith and seeing

this as a priority and all things we do moving forward and all legislation. >> all right, tim miller and christina greer, thank you both. kamala harris becomes the first sitting vice president to march in a pride parade this weekend. ahead. we will look at the national conversations surrounding lgbtq issues. is making this pride month unlike any other? th unlike any other unlike any other t to deal with. not just unpredictable relapses. all these other things too. it can all add up. kesimpta is a once-monthly at-home injection... that may help you put these rms challenges in their place. kesimpta was proven superior at reducing the rate of relapses, active lesions, and slowing disability progression vs aubagio. don't take kesimpta if you have hepatitis b, and tell your doctor if you have had it, as it could come back.

pride month. and coming off a symbolic historically event event kamala harris drawing one of the nation's largest pride marches yesterday, becoming the first sitting vice president to do so as the biden administration presses congress to pass legislation, fully protecting lgbtq americans at the federal level. joining me now is kara johnson, executive director of the national lgbtq task force. key era, great to have you here. first of all, as i said at the top, kamala harris became the first sitting vice president to participate in a pride event. the capital pride parade in washington yesterday, she called on the senate to pass the equality act.

codifying federal protections for lgbtq+ americans. how do you grade this administration five months in with regards to its inclusion and treatment of communities you represent? >> and we'll, happy pride. it's so nice to be here. you know what? we're just getting started but it feels so good these first five months in. you know, the administration is poised to be the most lgbtq inclusive of any administration before it. it matters to see vice president kamala harris showing up and showing out in the streets with lgbtq people celebrating pride. we just heard not too long ago, our president is saying he has the back of transgender young people. so we've seen some positive statements, positive indicators that there are even better and

brighter things to come. >> now, i just want to pivot a bit because you put out a statement after the direct chauvin verdict they referred to the decision is not justice, but accountability. you went on to say that black lives must matter, in quote, a country that has never lived up to that promise i want to flip that statement on its head somewhere because we know that transgender folks, particularly women of color face a disproportionate threat of violence. according to the human rights campaign, 2020 was a record setting year for murders of a gender nonconforming people with 44 killed. but 2021 a slated to break even that record with nearly 30 people killed. but what you don't have often within the black community itself are the kind of mass demonstrations that led up to the chauvin verdict as the

administration pushes the equality act and the congress fights its battles over policing. do you think either side understands that you need threat and it's addressing it? >> you know, i really appreciate this question and the reality is that none of us live patchwork lives, right? we live intersectional lives and so our policies have to be intersectional as well. our campaigns have to be intersectional east as well you are right transgender we've seen a report and transgender murders this year. we are only in june 40% of the women sitting in prisons identify isil, lesbian, bisexual and queer over 40% of young people on the streets that are homeless or lgbtq people. when we are fighting for equality, justice, liberation, we have to be looking at all of these intersections. if we're going to come up with solutions that allow all of us to thrive and to live free.

>> briefly, outside of the passing of the equality act. where our priority should live will lgbtq focal concern, where are the legislative blind spot? >> yeah, we are about to celebrate the colors of pride and it's an opportunity where we are actively engaging with clergy and congregations to show up and to show out in support of lgbtq people but of progressive change overall. so i think that intersection, and working with people of faith right? is really critical because the majority of people in this country identify with some faith tradition and that, we know, you know, faith has always been a part of our liberation and it will continue to be so. we're also keeping watch on the anti transgender legislation that's happening in the states. we've come a long way and that's what pride is about. but it is also about mourning,

those who haven't gone here with us and free. bring out with us we need to do to move the needle. the reality is is that lgbtq people are also the victims of the voting disenfranchisement loans. i know you are a staunch supporter of the for the people act and that is a part of it to. we have to be working in the lgbtq community and across all communities to ensuring that our right to vote and to participate politically is protected. >> johnson, thank you for being with us. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. stay with us stay with us ♪ ♪are you down, d-d-down, d-d-down, d-d-down♪ where we're driving down the cost of insurance. ♪ ♪ are you down, down♪ ♪d-down, down? are you♪ drivers who switched saved over $700. ♪ allstate. here, better protection costs a whole lot less. you're in good hands. click or call for a lower rate today.
