>> i also will be curious to see as to whether or not they able to get members of the proud boys and the on earth keeps on to testify. i imagine that's going to be quite an uphill battle too. barbara mcquade, joyce vance, thank you both. i'm yasmin vossoughian. i'll be back here tomorrow 3:00 p.m. eastern. reverend al sharpton and "politicsnation" starts right now. good evening and welcome to "politicsnation." tonight's lead, thankful for what we have. right now i'm still fairly full, but not with the remaining warmth of my thanksgiving meal, no. but with a pre-holiday hope for our national priorities. because the season has now opened up officially with the

senate slated to take up the build back better plan after its passage in the house last week, and president biden's comprehensive plan to modernize our nation is now that much closer to reality. even as the current sum of nearly $2 trillion in social spending is in question, subject to both moderate democrats' demands and the republican party's wall of resistance. which can count among its victories this year, the complete blockage of voter expansions or the elections with gop state lawmakers entrenching their advantages in battleground states. and senate republicans doing the rest on capitol hill. we'll have more on what democrats have time left to do on voting rights before america

prepares to vote again in just under 12 months now. and as the family of ahmaud arbery marked yet another thanksgiving holiday without him, his father, marcus arbery, and civil rights attorney, attorney general of black america, ben crump, joined me me with a local pastor after what i can personally tell you was an intense and revealing trial, culminating in a verdict this week that was many things, but most of all, well deserved. it was people and pitches that got justice for ahmaud arbery when police and prosecutors failed him. that's just later in the show. but first, joining me now is democratic congresswoman barbara lee of california. congresswoman, thank you for joining us this holiday weekend. given -- >> nice to be with you. >> given how much you are an

advocate you have been for the build back better act, i would imagine that you were quite thankful this week for its passage in the house before the holiday. of course it's now slated to be taken up in the senate next week. are you confident that it will survive those negotiations intact after moderate democrats and, of course, republicans, remaining in intact that's deserving for your constituents? >> yes, reverend al. i believe so. of course nothing's easy. this has been a tough negotiation. but there's so much in the build back better bill that affords so many people throughout the country, even in west virginia and arizona and throughout the country, really a shot at the american dream and to help the

cost of living, to be able to purchase household goods. we have developed strategies to lower the cost of health care, to lower the cost of child care, to lower the cost of housing. thanks to our great chairwoman waters, $150 billion in the bill for affordable housing for a pathway to home ownership to address the unsheltered, for hbcus. the congressional black caucus, the progressive caucus, all of our determinations i believe they'll remain intact. but knowing that we're going to have to have a few more negotiations before this can happen. >> now, congresswoman, with next year looming, i want to talk voting rights with you. something i read over the holiday in "the new york times." in texas, north carolina, ohio, and georgia, republicans state

lawmakers have created super majorities capable of overriding a governor's veto or whittle down competitive districts so significantly that republicans' advantage is virtually impenetrateble, leaving voters in divided states powerless to change the leadership of their legislatures. that's a quote from "the new york times." when i read that second part about chopping down competitive districts in texas, north carolina, and georgia, i think of some of your colleagues in the congressional black caucus watching this right now in their districts and, in some cases, opting not to run again. what does that mean in terms of next year's races, congresswoman? >> sure. first of all, we have to know that the voting rights -- the john lewis voting rights act, we must pass this.

we must pass the for the people act. in fact, this gets money out of politics, it addresses redistricting and it protects our right to vote. it allows for lawsuits to come forward to make sure that the denial of primarily people of color, seniors, young people, their voting rights are not tampered with and denied. we see what the republicans are doing. they're on a roll. they're trying to create districts now regardless if they'll be able to win. what we have to do is i support ending the filibuster. but we have to minimally find a carveout around the filibuster so that we can get both of these bills passed into law. our democracy is at stake. our voting rights is at stake, and reverend al, i remember the days of jim crow and they're trying to turn the clock way back to those days and we're not going to let that happen. but i tell you, it means we have to fight, fight, fight, organize, and make sure that we insist that somehow the senate make a carveout in terms of the legislative process so that both

of these bills can pass. >> now, congresswoman, i want to get to the fears around the omicron variant of the covid-19 virus. with that, the travel bans on the countries from the u.s. and european nations in the last couple of days in south africa where the variant was identified, along with several other african nations. i wonder if you've seen the criticism from some in the black community and the global public health community, not to mention south africa itself, that are hypocritical, the result of vaccine hoarding, and where do you come down on that criticism, congresswoman? >> well, first of all, saving lives is a priority, and we have to have a balance. and i for one am making sure that the vaccines are distributed equitably globally. let me tell you, reverend al, today under 2% of people living

in africa and low-income countries have had -- have been vaccinated. in fact, we're trying to get more vaccines distributed. but we have a long way to go, and the wealthy countries in the world have not stepped up. we have not done enough, and so we have to come and we're just learning about this new variant, so i'm not certain and i have to be honest, i'm not certain what the policy should be because we cannot deny people the right to come into the united states only from africa or only from certain countries. >> right. >> when, in fact, these barriers are not placed from other countries. and so the administration has got to get this right. but priority, we've got to save lives, both here in america and throughout world, specifically now on the african continent. this is very serious. the scientists now and the world health organization are trying to determine the path of this variant is going.

in fact, we got to be very careful that we do the right thing and not create discrimination against african countries while at the same time not executing the same policies from other countries say, for example, in europe. >> congresswoman, lastly, you represent oakland. as someone intimately familiar with the story and family of oscar grant and other black men killed by law enforcement, i'd like to hear your reaction three days after the men who killed ahmaud arbery were found guilty of felony murder. and the reason i stress law enforcement in this case, because we must remember it wasn't the police or the first county prosecutor that made this conviction possible. instead, you have an investigation right now into whether that prosecutor actually favored convicted murderers

charged because of their law enforcement ties. she's been charged with interfering with the process there of investigation. but what was your reaction to the convictions, congresswoman? >> first of all, nothing can take away the pain of the loss of ahmaud arbery, okay? this is something that will never go away. my first reaction was i cried. and the pain of what took place in terms of his senseless shooting, this young man's life is gone. also, when i heard the verdicts, i thought, you know, why is this so abnormal to hear -- why is it that we've normalized injustice in our psyche? i was very relieved, but also it provided a glimmer of hope that perhaps, maybe, perhaps we may

have cracked open a door that would lead to criminal justice reform and would lead to police accountability. but reverend al, i tell you, it really reminded me that this is not the norm, and that we have been so traumatized by -- until this felt unusual, and was really an unbelievable reaction. but he won't be my condolences go out to his family because i know, you know, nothing will bring him back now. but we also have to realize that we got to fight now even harder. >> oh, yeah, there's no doubt about it. all right, well, thank you, congresswoman barbara lee. now to that trial and that verdict that many of us were thankful for this week, sentencing yet to come for the three found guilty of murdering ahmaud arbery. but attorneys for all three say

they will appeal their clients' felony murder convictions charges that have all three facing life in prison. we are honored to have with us the attorney general of black america, ben crump, the father of the late ahmaud arbery, marcus arbery, and pastor mark baker of greater works ministries in brunswick, georgia. let me go to you first, attorney crump. i want to make sure our audience understands this verdict is not the end of it. what comes next in terms of legal action? let's start there. >> absolutely, reverend al. i just have to thank you and the black pastors for coming to brunswick, georgia. your presence impacted the quest for justice for ahmaud arbery. and i'm sure marcus and wanda are so grateful. they can never thank you enough. we know they have a federal

civil rights -- based on the department of justice. also, we have brought a civil action against the district attorney, jackie johnson, who conspired, we allege, to prevent ahmaud arbery from ever having his day in court, his family. we also have sued the homeowners association, reverend al, because we believe this was a group effort to get this young black man, who was presumed guilty just from exercising. had this been a white man, nobody would have presumed him guilty, reverend al. they would have just said he's exercising. but they thought the worst of ahmaud arbery. >> now, marcus, let me go to you. and i know as happy as you was with the verdict, that yesterday was tough for you. your son used to call you every day and you didn't get that call on thanksgiving. i remember you came on this show

right after it happened, one of the first national shows you were on. and i promised you national action network and i would fight for justice, this before we even knew that video existed. a lot of people thought we came in late, we were there when there wasn't a camera. i happened to have lunch with you and reverend bakery and attorney crump when the call came to come back to the courthouse. we rushed back to the courthouse and i sat between you and the mother, wanda. she took my hand and you took my other hand, and we prayed. and you jumped up when the guilty verdict it came up and said finally we got some justice. tell the nation how you felt. i mean, i was sitting there feeling your body quivering. tell us how you felt when you as a father felt that finally at least some justice for the loss of your son's life was announced.

>> it was a weight off my heart because, you know, it's been a long time coming for us and for america's people. it's a thing that, good god, i give all glory to god we got that guilty verdict. and ahmaud can rest in peace because i was just so overwhelmed that we weren't going to get justice. you know, and then i just thanked god that i had the community around us, black and white people stuck together and they got this -- they didn't want this in their town, you know? i'm just thanking got god for everybody that put their hand in getting that man convicted. the community pooled together and got this conviction. i know we made history.

we know we got the verdict. my son can rest in peace. my family can sit back. we got justice for ahmaud. that's something that we just were fighting for 18 whole months, 18 whole months. and then -- it was looking kind of critical for us because they're trying to brush it under the rug and how they was trying to, like, he done something wrong when i didn't. you know, it just -- lord, our family was just in this. we just were -- >> reverend baker, you and marcus have known each other most of your lives, but you are one of the leading pastors in brunswick in that part of georgia. you, like me, were singled out by the prosecutors saying they didn't want black pastors there, we might influence the jury. but you and the ministers stood

by those of us that were attacked, and when we called for 100 black pastors to join me to come back, we had over 300 and you helped lead that. how important is it for those in brunswick that they saw people around the nation coming to support them, and how important it is that they saw -- and i must say this and emphasize this. in a jury that was 11 whites and one black in a city 55% black, and to see those whites, those 11 whites look past race at the evidence, knowing they're voting possibly life sentences for their neighbors, and they need it anyway. the lawyers had them poll the jury, and i sat there between wanda and marcus and heard all of them, 11 whites and that one black say, yes, that's my verdict, they're all g. how did that make you feel as a resident and leading faith leader in

brunswick? >> reverend sharpton, let me first say thank you personally because you have been fighting for many, many years for the people. and to have you in brunswick and to also have your name mentioned in the courtroom, it hurt me because i know why you came to brunswick. you came to see and support marcus and wanda as a faith leader. and again, as you say, when our names was called out in the courtroom, we all had to rally with you, also with reverend jesse jackson, because that's what we do. the bible tells us to go all over the world. that's what you exemplified to all of us pastors and leaders. you stuck with this family, and the city of brunswick, we knew that this is not how we are as a people. i don't even like to use the word white community, because all these were created equal.

and because of that, our white brothers and sisters and pastors, we all came together and we knew that we had an opportunity to show the world and to show the nation what it means to come together as one. so i thank you personally, reverend sharpton, for your leadership over the years that many of us was not always able to be upfront with you. we saw you from afar, but brunswick as you able to see the reverend al sharpton to lead us and other pastors and show us where there is unity, there is strength. >> thank you for that. let me say that. we're out of time, i appreciate ben crump breaking down and breaking news tonight on the lawsuits. marcus, as i told you and wanda at the beginning, we'll be there, national action network, till tend. we still have a ways to go, but is there anything you want to say to the nation as a father on this holiday weekend, what message would you like to leave with the nation as we go for the

next round under the leadership of attorney general crump? >> reverend al sharpton, number one, i want to give all glory to god for putting me all together with this. i didn't want to thank you personally, reverend and all the pastors coming in with prayers and made a lot of weight off our hearts. y'all came with the right thing, prayers, because prayers are the answer for everything, and i thank god for y'all because without prayers, we wouldn't have made it. >> that's right. >> so reverend al, i thank you. i thank you. >> thank you. we're going to keep fighting. attorney crump, we only came with prayers and stood up and we're going to continue to stand up. we still have a lot of cases. i appreciate you, attorney crump, working overtime and coming on tonight.

thank you for joining me. coming up in this week's gotcha, my warning to races. the long arm of the law is coming for you. later, yet another republican lawmaker finds themselves in hot water for her hateful comments. my political panel will discuss this latest outrage. but first, my colleague richard lui with today's top news stories. richard? >> rev, very good saturday to you. some of the stories we're watching for you this hour, many countries are considering now a new wave of covid restrictions because of the new variant called omicron. monday the biden administration will restrict travel from eight south african nations where omicron was first dedicated. scientists say the new strain highlights the importance of widespread vaccination. many black friday shoppers were out despite pandemic concerns. sales were up nearly 30% friday from last year according to mastercard spending pulse. increased security greeted some

for this week's gotcha, i want to once more address the

scourge of white supremacy, racism, and hate in this country, and in particular, those who carry out violent acts accordingly. just this week, a georgia jury delivered some measure of accountability to the three white men who chased down and murdered ahmaud arbery, a black man just out for a jog. the fact that the trial almost didn't happen at all speaks volumes about the entrenchment of discrimination in our justice system. considering there was a video of the crime. but when the criminal justice system failed to deliver justice in crimes of hate, sometimes the civil system can provide some accountability, like in the case of the organizers of the racist violence in charlottesville, virginia, in 2017. this week the jury in that case

awarded the plaintiffs $25 million to be paid by the white supremacist and white supremacist organizations behind the so-called unite the right event. that verdict should be seen as a warning to others who organize and carry out violent terrorist acts under the banner of white grievance and racism. like, for instance, those insurrectionists who stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, because in addition to the official investigation being carried out by the january 6th committee, that could lead to criminal charges for some of the people and organizations on this subpoena list, there are multiple civil suits pending in the matter with defendants ranging from the white

nationalist organizations up to the disgraced former president president trump. capitol police officers, the naacp, and even members of congress are suing to hold these perpetrators civilly accountable, and the damages could rack up into millions. so to those who ascribe to the ugly principles of racism and white supremacy, your days are numbered. despite the harrowing racial history of this country, you can no longer carry out racist violence or plan coup d'états from you're anger, the voters of color cast our ballots in the most secure election in u.s. history, because even if the criminal justice system is slow to act and sometimes stumbles, civil justice can still bankrupt you and the court of public opinion will tarnish your name

imperpetuity. i gotcha. i'm still wowed by what's next. even with higher stroke risk due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin,... i want that. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk better than warfarin. and has less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis has both. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily... or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, or unusual bruising.

it may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor about eliquis.

welcome back to "politicsnation." i have a lot to get to with my political panel, so joining me now, two former members of congress and msnbc political analysts. donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman of maryland, and david jolly, former republican congressman of florida, who is no longer affiliated with the party. david, let me start with you. the january 6th committee is taking aim at a cross-section of right-wing political activists and "w" subpoenas out to far-rating racist groups lick the proud boys, steve bannon under indictment after defying his own subpoena, and pending summons to former white house officials mark meadows, kayleigh mcenany, and stephen miller the

question they're trying to answer, of course, is to what extent were these different groups aware of each other's activities and perhaps acting in concert? what will they ultimately find out? >> it's clear the first stage was to follow the money and follow the communications. which part of the trump network was involved in organizing and funding the events of january 6th? but i think what we learned this past week is they are now zeroed in on these hate groups, these white nationalist groups, and importantly, how, then, are the two connected. the trump administration and his political actors and what level of coordination with these white nationalist groups. ultimately it's going to take having some of these witnesses throne in jail for refusing to comply before we fully get their testimony, and i do think that will happen. >> now, let's turn to redistricting and the redistricting process happening in state houses across the country.

like many of the republican-controlled states, georgia's new map aims to expand and entrench gop control, even though the state electorate is pretty evenly split and democrats won the the last two statewide elections. donna, if this map stands through inevitable legal challenges, if that is day, what does that say about the future as a democracy? have remembers gerrymandered their way into minority rule? >> thanks, reverend. i apologize. i'm probably talking over fireworks right now. but i think that one of the things that's happening across the country with republican-controlled legislatures and governors is that they are highly gerrymandering these districts, and of course we see the fallout from the supreme court's decision just a few years ago

that political gerrymandering, if you will, or considering politics in the process is actually okay. and so what you're seeing in georgia, for example, is that black and brown voters are being packed into a couple of districts, and of course one congresswoman, lucy mcbath, won in her election, her stunning election -- >> in georgia. >> in georgia, has been drawn out, essentially, of her district. this is problematic in georgia and across the country where you're seeing in states even like north carolina where the black voters are being packed into a small number of districts which really drives them of the right to representation in their districts. and that is a fault of the system which highlights the reason that we have to pass the john lewis voting rights act so

we can make sure that these kind of things cannot happen in the future. >> in michigan republicans are working overtime to circumvent the will of the people. a clerk of the state constitution allowed the legislature to bypass governor's veto if at least 8% of the total number of votes cast in the last election sign a petition. now, michigan republicans are trying to use that loophole to force through voting restrictions, including slashing polling locations, implementing strict voter i.d., and redistricting mail-in ballot applications. david, do you think this gambit is going to work? how can there be political consequences if the party at fault just restricts voters even further? >> reverend, michigan has this archaic constitutional provision which allows a single digital percentage of voters to petition their legislature to take up a

matter. and historically the legislature would not necessarily bring it up. but in this case the petition is actually what the michigan republican legislature already passed, and the democratic governor vetoed. now they're trying to do it through petition, and it will never reach the governor's desk. the republicans can enact this voter suppression bill, if you will, simply by an act of the republican legislature. michigan's an outlier. not every state has this. this would likely survive judicial scrutiny unless the opponents and petitioners can prove there's an impact on voters of color. you can be certain this would be litigated on those grounds. >> yeah. reverend charles williams of detroit tells me the wording even on the petitions is kind of deceptive. donna, i want to get your brief thoughts on the continued islamophobia coming from republicans, most recently colorado congresswoman lauren

boebert, who told a made-up story, completely made up, implying that minnesota democratic congresswoman ilhan omar was a suicide bomber. boebert only apologized after a bipartisan outrage. republican leader kevin mccarthy said that boebert had reached out to omar for a possible meeting, but notably, mccarthy did not condemn her actions in the statement. how can congress function when one party encourages such vile, bigoted lies, lies with death threats being sent to congresswoman omar? >> well, i think, reverend, because of this and other things that not just lauren boebert and other members of congress have said about ilhan omar about the congresswoman, including the former president, that this is resulted in her having numerous

death threats against her and her family. and it's really outrageous for kevin mccarthy only to say that lauren boebert has reached out to congresswoman omar. i mean, it's after the fact. you know, the fact is that kevin mccarthy and the republican party refuse to discipline their members of congress who say these outrages things and endanger people's lives. and i think, you know, that the congress should do something, but the fact is that even when disciplinary action is taken against these republican members, other republicans generally don't support them, and it results in them just using the opportunity to fund raise. it's despicable and immoral and on the republican party can police that and they simply refuse to do it. >> david, lastly, i want to say to you that i take note that

donna worked over fireworks, and you got a shave and helped put up the christmas tree. thank you both for being on tonight. thank you, former congress members donna edwards and david jolly. fighting for our rights to breathe free. a shocking new investigation reveals the deadly link between racism and pollution in america. ♪ ♪♪it's a most unusual day♪♪ ♪♪feel like throwing my worries away♪♪ ♪♪as an old native-born californian would say♪♪ ♪♪it's a most unusual day♪♪ ♪♪it's a most unusual sky♪♪ ♪♪not a sign of a cloud passing by♪♪ ♪♪if my heart won't behave in the usual way♪♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event.

. we've spent a lot of time on this show talking about environmental racism. and this week we came across a new analysis of pollution's impact on communities of color. according to investigative journalists at propublica, the environmental protection agency allows polluters to turn specific neighborhoods into sacrifice zones, where residents breathe air they're not supposed to.

in a first-of-its-kind map and data analysis, propublica reveals where these places are. it is the detail -- the most detailed map of cancer-causing industrial air pollution in the u.s. joining me now is leyla eunice, propublica reporter and one of the four authors of the report. leyla, your investigation shows that from the urban sprawl of houston to the riverways of virginia, air pollution from industrial plants is elevating the cancer risk of an estimated quarter of a million americans to a level the federal government considers unacceptable. why is this happening? >> rev, the primary reason concerns the way the agency assesses cumulative risk, or the total amount of cancer risk resulting from all of the major sources of toxic air pollution

in an area. so when the agency conducts a cancer risk assessment, they do so by only considering one type of facility or even in some cases one type of equipment at a time. what our analysis found is that this methodology can seriously underestimate risk. >> now, some of these hot spots of the toxic air are infamous. an 85-mile stretch of the mississippi river in louisiana, that's thronged with oil refineries and chemical plants. it's earned the nickname "cancer alley." but many other areas exist and residents breathing in the contaminated air do not know about it. tell us what this map uncovered. >> so our map basically identified over 1,000 hot spots of cancer-causing air around the country. some, like you said, are in places known for pollution, like

south louisiana, and others we were first to inform residents the air they breathe could be elevating their risk of cancer. we found that over a quarter of a million americans are estimated to be exposed to levels of cancer risk from toxic air pollution that the epa considers unacceptable, and that 74 million americans or roughly a fifth of the population are estimated to be exposed at levels that the agency has said it strives to protect the largest amount of people from. >> now, two days after you published this analysis of industrial air pollution, the environmental protection agency announced that its administrator, michael reagan, would visit the communities featured in the report, and indeed, during last week's journey to justice, reagan toured the houston ship channel, the louisiana community of mossville, and that stretch of

land along the mississippi river, places you identified as being among the highest pollution in the country. because one of the key takeaways from your report is that these hot spots are especially bad in minority communities, hot spots were most residents are people of color experienced 40% more cancer-causing pollution and in predominantly black census tracks, their estimated cancer risk from air pollution is more than double that of majority white ones. how impressed were you with epa's response? >> we were quite impressed with the epa's response because they openly acknowledged that these communities are very overburdened by toxic air pollution. in his first week in office, the president created three new committees to address environmental justice, administer reagan has said he spent time with propublica's findings and intends to use them to inform new policy going

forward. so we are hopeful that the agency going forward will have a new sort of framework of dealing with the overburdened levels in these communities. >> finally, what can people do to find out if where they live or work or study is in the risky areas in terms of air pollution? >> well, we spent the past couple years working on a map that is address searchable. if you go to projects .propublica.org/toxmap, you can enter your address and find out on the facilities that are emitting those chemicals and how far they are from your home. >> leyla eunice, thank you for being with us from propublica. thank you for your report. up next, my final thoughts on being thankful after this

as we are in the closing day of this 2021 thanksgiving weekend, i am thankful we saw what justice looks like in brunswick, georgia. i am thankful for the jurors, 11 whites and 1 black that did what the evidence called for and a judge who would not be intimidated by constant calls for mistrial. i am thankful for those who came and stood up for the dignity and integrity of black pastors and church people everywhere.
