>> hold on. we're running up on time. thank you smouch. we will be coming back. any attack on any president anywhere in this hemisphere is a concern. we'll follow this story again. thank you very much for your time. that does it for me. the reid out is up next. >> thank you very much. we'll be following up on that story. appreciate the color coordination. i love the way we match. have a great rest of your evening. thank you very much. we have a big hour ahead including details about donald trump's perverse view. he told his staff, hitler did a good thing. a republican congressman admits he wants nothing but chaos for next 18 months. anything to keep president biden

from notching any victories. i'll speak with secretary of transportation as president biden makes his big push for his agenda in a conservative district. we have the gqp culture war. democrats across the country are preparing to run as they would normally run. whether they realize it or not, they are running headlong into a culture woodchiper because republicans aren't running an election. they are waging an all out war for power that is based on and steeped in the trump cult and even white nationalism. no matter how reckless and dangerous that is, they are doing it believing it will move white voters. look no further than the ongoing hysteria over race conscious education. whey are a falsely misrepresenting as critical race theory. radicalized parent activists are

targeting school boards with behind the scenes help from conservative groups. protesters are warming those meetings vowing to revolt against a curriculum they labeled unacceptable and reversed racist. yesterday fox news mentioned critical race theory more than 100 times before 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. there's fox fear mongering tuck tuckums who went full 1984. >> it's civiluation ending poison. it's everywhere. how widespread is it? we can't be sure until we get cameras in the classroom as we put them on the chest of police officers. >> civilization ending poison. the common denominator is an attempt to reverse something that joe biden pulled off last year. according to analyst, biden eight into the ex-president support among white voters.

particularly white suburban voters reducing trump's 2016 margin by 12%. the goal now is to terrify those white vote who are is offering nothing on policy. zip, zero, nothing. by zeroing in on the amygdala. turn them into woke future democrats. in the wake of the disgraced president defeat, that hysteria over race conscious education is being exploited by another insidious force. followers of qanon who are now using the battle cry to similarly target school boards with many who have espoused theories melding their own conspiracies with the lies about critical race theory.

please explain this nexus now. >> sure. the last year people have presented a laundry list to try to get people on school board, off school boards. at the very beginning of last year it was about mask mandates. getting people riled up over the fact they can't get their kids back to school or once they are back in school, they will be wearing masks. a lot of them used junk science they found on facebook. the last three or four month, critical race theory is at this and a lot of the people there for mask stuff got -- they just added something to it. they added critical race theory to it as well. they were like if we can get this person off the school board, get one of our own, it doesn't matter if we're adding talk about race, we want the mask over with. people are there to talk about critical race theory and end up angry about masks.

what we have seen is qanon followers going to these meetings. some are on youtube. they can go and give the big speeches about the kabal and say we need to rile people up. we need to get people ready to take over the school boards. they will post that on their instagram later on. they are using michael flynn's rally crying to take over the school boards. run for school board. run for public office. we need to get involved in tegs of our children. right now on top of the biggest qanon message board, that's what you'll see. you'll see the quote from mike anyone saying run for school board. >> the through line here is to say that white america's children are being polluted, their mind, bodies by the woke mob. by the left. by the multicultural party and it's a threat. it sounds like the reconstruction era like the black and tan republicans were a

threat because they were polluting the minds of white women and children. it's very 1860s. there's this other headline that we have now that fbi actually managed to, i guess sort of infiltrate this bible study group that became a cover for violent malitia plans. this northern virginia lee is accused of building up explosives he and other held bible studies where they discussed firearms and other training. the fbi infiltrated after he interacted with undercover police on january 6th and several guns and materials to make 50 molotov cocktails. can you talk about the nexus with evangelical christians. that seems to be the target. >> specifically will qanon, people find qanon because they are tied up in specific things like bible groups. they move over from there.

the great awakening which is the big qanon, a lot of those people thought that was january 6th was. that doesn't mean evangelical christians are qanon people at all. they use the cloak of evangelical christianity as a way to mask this as a benevolent move. >> not even effectively. according to fbi, it is a do mostic terrorist movement and they are recruiting and radicalizing people. always on top of this. thank you very much. joining in on the anti-critical race theory nonsense is kentucky republican senator, rand paul, of course. he tweeted critical race theory is reverse racism and spits on the civil rights movement while invoking, as they like to do,

reverend dr. martin luther king junior. he single handedly blocked the emmett till anti-lynching bill last summer. also back in 2010 demurred if he would have voted for the 1964 rights act. he then expanded on his views in an intervie with rachel maddow. >> how about desegregaing lunch counters? >> what it gets into is if you decide that restaurants are publicly owned and not privately owned, does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant or does the government own his restaurant? these are important philosophical debates but not a practical discussion. >> joining me is charles booker. the only thing i find surprising about rand paul inserting himself from his national per view into local issues about what's taught in schools, the

only difference between him and in 2010 is they are open about it. he was open about it in 2010 saying i wouldn't vote for the '64, civil rights act. i think you should tell black people you can't eat here. what do you think of this? >> they are putting down dog whistle and pick up a megaphone. they are saying the quiet parts out loud. believes that racism is a winning strategy and is how he intends to keep his seat. he's not and he won't. we see through this bs. this is a tired old play book. this is the southern strategy. this is weaponizingexploiting f. people of kentucky are fed up with this bs. we are fighting to survive and put food on our table and afford our medication and push for policies like medicare for all to make sure we have a sustainable future.

this clown is stoking racial fears and hatred. >> the thing is, when rachel maddow interviewed him in 2010, he couldn't say restaurants shouldn't be able to discriminate against people because they are black. he tried to do all these analogies and if somebody coming in with a gun is the same as a black person coming in to have a pie. that's rand paul's strategy. to me it feels very much like we're in the reconstruction era again. the idea is that republicans are saying that white children's minds and bodies are being attacked by black people that want to steal their history and make them ashamed of being white and they want to make them vulnerable to this kabal of satan worshipping pedophiles. how do you beat sfwhun state with 7% african-americans. you'll have to win white americans.

how do you do this when they are being hit with this every day? >> what you said is why fwheed to know our history because it repeats itself. the way we win in face of this hate is to make the point clear. this is not about beating rand paul. it's about beating hate. we do it by listening to the people. i'll tell you when i sit down in east kentucky and those small family farmers and young people fighting to address the climate crisis or families that are marching in the the streets because they are crying out for justice, they are demanding leadership. they are demanding change. the common bonds that we share across kentucky and across this country, they are not partisan. rationing your insulin is not partisan. we need leaders to call out this hate to disarm it by saying when ever someone like rand paul talks about defunding the police or critical race theory, it's

not because he cares about solution. he wants to distract the people from the challenges we are facing and distract from the fact he's doing nothing for us. the government isn't working for us. he voted with mitch mcconnell, voting against added relief and infrastructure support that would help create jobs. voted against the covid relief package. voting to block any effort to protect our access to the ballot box. they do not care whether we live or die and they want to stoke racism. go do charlesbooker.org. >> your wi-fi needs to hold up for like two more seconds. the other senator from kentucky, mitch mcconnell is openly bragging to his donors, i guess, i didn't vote to give you any money. you're not going to give

anymore. he got reelected on a message of i'm giving you nothing and now rand paul is saying not only am i giving you nothing but i think you're so racist that all i have to do is say black people bad and you'll vote for me. if that is what they think of the constituency in your state, i have to ask you again, what is the counter message that you think beats that? >> you know, it's the most offensive, the most disrespectful, it's a slap in the face for these politicians like mitch mcconnell to say all we deserve is hatred. all we deserve is this racist play book that's having us fight amongst ourselves. we beat that by organizing on that, lifting up the challenges real kentucky people are facing. i'll tell you right now, the people of kentucky want change. they are demanding it. folks that voted for trump, folks that never voted before,

folks in western kentucky, folks in the hoods where i'm from, we want real change. we need leaders that will be accountable to us. there's a reason you're seeing this bipartisan coalition behind me early. in our first 24 hours, we raised a million dollars. we are ready to win in this moment and we will. >> when you've got the senate minority leader and your state is still poor, you might need to vote differently. that's all i'm going to say. thank you very much. up next, republicans say the quiet part out loud. they want chaos, not legislation that helps anybody, so they can more power. president biden makes his case for human infrastructure. the critically important investments that go beyond roads and bridges like child care and education. mitch mcconnell thinks that's waste of time and money. transportation secretary joins me on that. plus ♪♪

he kept a copy of hitler speeches in a drawer. republicans are screaming the quiet parts out loud. andy bigs described democrats as the way trump used to describe the media as eneies of the state. >> we heard a lot about the democrat party moving to left, practicing socialism, communism. if you're in the house, one of the democratic house members believe, my own opinion is that they are enemy offense -- enemies of state. >> enemies of what, trump. that video was captured by the executive producer of the undercurrent who gained some

notoriety for her work exposing republicans and that believer. another captured chip roy admitting the goal of the republican party is to obstruct all legislation and create an atmosphere of chaos ahead of the midterm elections. >> honestly, right now for the next 18 months, our job is to do everything we can to slow that down to the summer of 2022. i say thank you lord, 18 more months of chaos and inability to get stuff done. >> we reached out to roy's office that it's his voice in that video but we have not heard back. roy did respond to video on twitter and didn't deny it was him. he embraced it calling himself an exceptional obstructionist. i'll start with you. congratulations on all this great video. let's talk about that. when you're in these settings,

are you surprised at how open people like andy bigs and chip roy are at just saying their strategy? >> frankly, no. i've been doing this for a while. in these settings they feel pretty comfortable openly saying it. it shocks the average person. >> i think so. let's go through them one by one. the enemies of the state thing. this is a guy who is an insurrectionist. did he get into more detail about who does he see as the state? at the moment the state, is controlled by democrats? >> he went on in that clip to name three house members that he considered to be radical leftists. they included jerry nadler, maxine waters. i think the average person doesn't see jerry nadler or

karen maloney as radical leftists. yen that maxine water s a favorite boogey man. that one was a little more expected but definitely not for jerry nadler. >> the squad is already taken. squad 2.0, maybe? >> i don't know. the triad. >> sold. that's it. that's what it is. i know he frightens me. what do you make of this? the openness of these people. interesting he picks jewish women and black people as enemies of the state. that's not a coincidence. roy admitting all we want is cay yous. >> i have to say that i find these comments completely

unsurprising. he is articulating what all of us has known is the republican position. they are not interested in passing anything. the whole owning the libs, trolling style of politics is about chaos. it's about obstructionism and quite frankly, republicans are completely comfortable with all of this. this plays well with the base. we may sit here and think it's a gaffe like, oh, my gosh. look what they are saying in private and they are looking going yeah, this is what we say. this is what we'll run on because this is who we are. they have become completely reactionary here. it is rather extraordinary that chip roy, if i'm correct about this, was talk about obstructing infrastructure bill, which, like five minutes ago would have been a bipartisan thing. if he had been the condo board, he would say we don't need to spend any money to fix anything here. let's argument about it and claim that was being conservative. that may seem tasteless but the

reality is there are real consequences to the refusal to do things that are necessary or even attempt to. i think that's what he's saying. we're not even going to attempt to. we're not going look for a better bill or propose an alternative. we just want to block everything and be obstructionists and he comfortable with that. >> they are getting that from their leader, lauren. chip roy in this conversation, you do have the head of the united states republicans in the united states senate mitch mcconnell saying the same thing. congratulations, kentucky on getting this money. you're not getting any from me. we're going to give you nothing. no bridge, no roads, no potholes filled. we're giving you nothing but we think that y'all are so racist that you'll guard your precious white children from getting knowledge about history. knowledge will destroy them. they will be woke. they will be basic no rant and have no brij bridges. did he elaborate on why they get

no infrastructure and why they should be happy about that? >> in terms of fighting the infrastructure bill, he was very clear he wants to obstruct anything and that really tows the line with mitch mcconnell is for the next 18 months we'll slow walk this entire process until the 2022 midterm elections and then if they can retake the senate or retake the house then we'll have another two years of obstructing everything as well. >> and doing nothing. >> biden won't get anything done in the second half. is that really what the american people want is four years of just total gridlock. it's insane. >> and race entertainment. that's what they are giving. let me play another clip. this is congressman talking about something very similar. let's listen to that. glen young. he's a candidate for virginia governor. >> i'm going to be really honest

with you. short answer is, in this campaign, i can. i'm governor. i have a majority in the house. we can start going on offense. as a campaign topic, sadly, that won't win by independent votes that i have to get. >> he said he will take a hard line on abortion but he can't take it out loud because he has to get independent votes. that sounds like he's saying i got to lie in order to get independents. >> yes. he was very clear about i cannot win this campaign by being up front about my views on abortion. in other footage that wasn't in that segment, pressed him on would you get a fetal heartbeat bill, defund planned parenthood. he's like you're on the right track. those are all great things but i can't say that in public because i'll never win the independent voters that i need to win to win

this race. when i am in the governor's mansion and i have a house majority then we can go on the offense. he said all that. >> people should know if you're voter in virginia that is his plan if he gets in office is to ban abortion. his spokesperson said the audio demonstrated that glen said the same things no matter who he is talking to. we have congressman mike johnson. you can watch this on twitter saying he went to high school with amy coney barrett. shock or not shocked that donald trump praised hitler? >> not shocked at all but disillusioned that general kelly did not share this with the voters before the election because he saw this up close and personal. he should have spoken out about that. >> i'm not surprised that kelly didn't. not surprised. sorry. lack of character showed before that. thank you both very much. still ahead, addison mitch

president biden was in crystal lake, illinois today. one of the redder part offense the blue state as he continued to sell his infrastructure plan. he made the case for the american families plan which is expected to pass by a reconciliation. >> truly win the 21st century and once again, lead the world

to truly build an economy from the bottom up and middle out. we need to invest in our people. that's why i want to guarantee additional four years of public education for every person in america starting with providing two years of universal high quality preschool for 3 and 4-year-olds. we make strategic investments in teachers. i'm going to be making the case the american people have done. >> biden is working hard to convince the working class failed by republican policies that he can help, republicans are doing everything they can to stop him. they have called the proposals in the american family plan garbage. don't take my word for it. check out what the grim reaper of legislation told a bunch of supporters in kentucky. >> this will not be done on a bipartisan basis. this will be a fight over what this country ought to look like in the future and it's all going to unfold here in the next few

weeks. we're going to make it hard for them. >> this came after he boasted about refusing the wildly popular american relief package. >> not a single member of my party voted for it. you're going to get a lot more money. i didn't vote for it, but you're going to get a lot more money. it was -- hopefully this wind fall doesn't come along again. >> joining me now secretary of transportation. i laugh a bit because you've been a politician. i never knew a selling point with voters could be, you got all that money. i didn't give it to you and i ain't going to give you anymore. does that surprise you just as a former politician? >> i guess it's not my place to give political advice to members of the senate from the other party but i am puzzled by it.

what we're trying to do is wildly popular. that's true certainly of the rescue plan which did so much to bring us back from the brink. it's true the bipartisan infrastructure frame work which we continue to believe can and should be move with bipartisan support getting us everything from roads and bridges to fixing lead pipes to internet. the things the president was tauging about today, making sure you can have 12 weeks of paid family leave and 3 and 4-year-olds can get pre-kindergarten education. most republicans want them. i don't know why you would stake your ground on fight things that the american people correctly believe are long over due. that's what the president believes too. >> he called it garbage. just to go over it again, a child tax credit, child care, free community college, pell

grants, paid family leave. when you say it to regular people, they go that sounds great. my question to you guys, just strategically, if these things are popular and doing infrastructure, roads and bridges, you're the trains guy, that's popular. why separate them? why not put them all back into one bill, pass the whole thing through reconciliation and tell republicans vote for it or don't but we're not going to carry you. >> it's important to the president to do what we can on a bipartisan basis. it's also important to a lot of members of the senate democratic caucus to do what we can on a bipartisan basis and there's a lot we can. this bipartisan infrastructure frame work, we're talking about the biggest investment in public transit in american history. we're talking about the biggest investment roads and bridges since eisenhower. the most we have done on a number of environmental clean up issues. during that run up on the infrastructure deal, we heard a lot from the other side of the aisle saying, things you want to

do to make child care more affordable. we don't think it should be in the infrastructure package. now this will call to question because it's in a different package. maybe they will be for it. maybe they won't. we think both of the packages will pass. both deserve to get to the president's desk for a signature. american live will be better. people will be better off. when we have child care affordable for everything everybody, people will feel the differences in their lives right away. that's good policy. >> do you trust joe manchin and especially christine cinema to not double cross you all.

>> i've heard them talk about some of the same issues in this family's package as well. i know they are interested in this. i've heard each of them talk about the need to move the country forward on that front. we need to shape legislation that can get all the votes it needs to pass. one of the challenges with the 50/50 senate is literally any single one senator can make or break any one piece of legislation. that's a challenge that we accept and welcome and the president's already done what a lot of people didn't think was possible, negotiating a bipartisan deal and a big one. let's be clear. this bipartisan infrastructure frame work represents the biggest investment we have seen in generations in american infrastructure and many ways on many subjects. the biggest investment in american history, but we know we got to do more. if we have to do that part without republican votes, so be it. i still haven't given up on the idea that some senate republicans might decide to agree with the american people, including, by the way, a large

majority of american republicans. they is said they believe we need to investment in the care economy of this country. the republican party in washington, d.c. is fully radicalized. they are operating cult of donald trump. they are pushing things right needling up on white nationalism. has anyone in your city, back when you were mayor, ever said, i only want this pothole filled if it's bipartisan. isn't this whole bipartisan obsession a beltway obsession. aver raj americans just want the stuff. they just want the benefits and the assistance. have you heard of anyone say i demand it be bipartisan or i just want it? >> look, when i was mayor, i was

always happy to get republican and democratic votes for my agenda when i could. >> they probably weren't white nationalist radicals. >> they want to know if we're going to deliver. >> i agree with that. >> we are. think about how everybody will feel the difference on everything from the transportation stuff to the difference it will make to have 12 weeks of paid family leave in this country. it's immediate. it's important. that's why i suspect there's more than a whiff of politics about why anybody, even here in washington could be against it. >> all right. we shall see. good luck. i hope you succeed. always appreciate you. thanks very much. tonight's absolute worse. it's science. science versus the right wring freak out machine. the plaque people are coming to get you. the situation in haiti went from very bad to much, much worse. the assassination of its president. that and more, next. we'll be right back. ent. that and more, next. we'll be right back.

early this morning, gunman assassinated haitin president and shot his wife at their private residence opinion it's all to say the situation in haiti is dire. bishops in this country describe as on the verge of an explosion. it feels like we're not paying enough attention to haiti despite our centuries long connection to our neighbor in the caribbean. i'm going to take a moment to explain how we got here. haiti's history is a story of revolution. haiti was once a french colony. it was one of the wealthiest colonies in the french empire.

plantations produced coffee, sugar and indigo at the cost of immeasurable human suffering. the slave trade was the most brutal in the world. the independence of haiti from france in 1804 making haiti the first modern state to abolish slavery. three years before great britain did. one massive outcome, the part republicans want scrubbed from the textbooks is that the revolution is why the french abandoned its plan to expand in the americas. transaction known as the louisiana purchase. haiti went onto experience tremendous internal turmoil and a toxic relationship with the west from having to pay enormous reparations to france for over throwing the slave owners.

the u.s. helped to sustain the dictators who ruled haiti for nearly 30 years before the first democratic elect president in 1990. the history of dictatorship has culminated in the assassination of haiti's latest head of state. we're now seeing a revolutionary style society that could implode. haiti has plenty of reason to mistrust foreign intervention. joining me now is white house correspondent for pbs news hour. trying to set that up, people don't understand the close relationship we always had to haiti. it took us 19 years to rois them as a free country until shortly before the civil war and then we just have been screwing around with them for all this time.

in that context, is there anything that haitian americans believe there's anything we should do. >> thanks for giving the story so much attention and setting it up in this way. i've been talking to haitian americans on the ground all day. what they really say is that haitian people want to be heard. they want a transitional government. they want a government that will be serving the actual people. the late president, a lot of people across the country mourning the loss of him. mourning his assassination but also people who remind me on today he he is someone accused of corruption. accused of acting like a dictatorship. i interviewed someone, an expert who said this is haiti beyond a constitutional crisis. this is a new rock bottom for haiti. people know haiti as a struggling poor nation but this with kidnapping skyrocketing,

with the president murdered in his own home, listen to what we're saying. a traditional government, a government that is going to be thinking about the people and their needs is what we need. we don't need marines, i'm told. we don't need u.n. intervention people to have power and resources given to them to have their own destiny to be in power of that. >> strange details. including what seemed like american voices being heard during the assassination. we're not sure if that was a recording or what. make it look like the dea was involved. given that, the white house had to respond. are there new details on that? is the white house responding in in way or planning to do more tan just issue that statement?

>> i've been talking to white house officials about this, including shouting the question to president biden today. what i'm hearing is that u.s. officials know they needed to do something. president biden ran on this idea he was going to be keeping promises to haiti. there have been a lot of haitian americans who are disappointed because president biden was supporting the late president jovenel moise and had been acting illegally. the united states is looking at what the solutions are. it sounds like trying to give more security investments to the national police in haiti, trying to secure what's going on on the ground there. the united states hasn't figured out what its strategy is other than saying there need to be elections this year or haitian americans are saying that's not possible, people are too scared on the ground. this is a quagmire for the biden administration. there's going to have to be a solution and the united states is going to have to be involved. >> right. between our policy with cuba and

with haiti, these are two countries that every crisis becomes a migration crisis. is there any concern that might be another almost, if there's pure chaos there? >> of course. the idea that haitians -- 18,000 people in the last few months have fled their homes. people are terrified. i have been talking to people on the ground. people can't leave their homes. people are sheltering in place. there's this migration issue. really, there is this issue of whether or not people can survive in haiti at this point. >> absolutely. thank you so much. appreciate you being here to talk about this very important issue. up next, you are not the boss of me. i do what i want. they are freaking out after president biden suggested doing something to keep people from dying unnecessarily of covid. tonight's absolute worst is straight ahead. don't miss it. straight ahead don't miss it. ♪♪ i got you.

new york city held a ticker tape parade today, a tradition going back more than 100 years, in honor of the essential workers who guided the city through the pandemic. stretching down broadway's canyon of heroes, it was one of the biggest parades in the city's history, 14 floats representing 260 groups of essential workers. it was a moment of celebration for new york. as much as we would like it to be, the pandemic isn't over yet. maryland announced that all of its covid deaths in june, all of them were unvaccinated people. every single one. it couldn't be more clear that it's a race against the clock to get enough people vaccinated to put this pandemic behind us. over on the conservative outreach channel, tucker has come up with another way to pretend that we're all just overreacting. >> we discovered something amazing. data show the median age of death for covid is often older

than life expectancy. for real. every death is sad. but keep in mind, we just stopped western civilization because of this virus. do you think they hyped covid a little bit? yeah, they did. >> you weird little dolly. life expectancy doesn't determine when a person will die. also, your numbers are a little cherry picked here. from a few months in 2020. let's talk about this concept of a median age. tucker is saying that half of the 600,000 americans who died from covid would have died soon anyway. even if that was a legitimate argument which it isn't, what about the 300,000 or so americans under that median age, tucker? we don't need to worry about them dying? is it fine they died? he used it to lead into this. listen to these remarks.

>> now we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood. often, door to door, literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus. >> for the right wing freakout machine, which made it seem as if government officials are coming to your house to force a vaccine on you, to stick new the arm, there's texas republican congressman dan crenshaw who tweets, don't knock on my door, you are not my parents. mature. then there's the my body my choice argument. >> people are up in arms about this. we as americans can make our own choices. >> thank you. >> for our own families. >> now do abortion rights. there's the qanon lady, marjorie taylor greene, she had to apologize. she found out that the holocaust

was bad. apparently she didn't learn enough to not ever bring up nazis again. in a tweet yesterday, she called door to door campaigners medical brown shirts, making a comparison to a group who helped hitler rise to power. everyone is fuelling panic over president biden's comments instead of pleading for people to get vaccinated. that's the show tonight. tonight on "all in" -- >> we need go neighborhood by neighborhood and often times door to door knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus. >> the biden push to stop covid death intensifies. toxic right wing politics keeps getting people killed. >> how about don't knock on my door? you are the government. >> then why the fbi seized a
