we can all do our part to shred light on the issue of gun violence that is plaguing our country. -- we do have a responsibility to bring awareness to this issue. i leave you with one question. how can you make an impact today? thanks for watching. and doing your part this saturday and being with me, i'm symone sanders, you can catch me here every saturday and sunday at 4 pm eastern. and anytime on peacock. dollar like to turn over things to my good friend rev. al sharpton. hey rev.. >> hey some symone, see you tomorrow. i'll be watching. good evening and welcome to politicsnation. tonight's lead, our nation under the gun. right now, joe biden is urging the nation to address its

played of battlefield weapons in the minds and that worships them. but it should be noted that this is not a global pandemic. because this outbreak of gun violence we face is quite literally limited to our shores and borders. in addition to the horror buffalo, we had gun violence at the tulsa hospital this week, and of course the tragedy in uvalde, texas. just three mass shootings out of nearly two dozen in the last few weeks. the world is watching to see whether our leaders can wrangle this moment into actionable gun control legislation. democrats, for their part, have seethed on the public outcry. the president, in a dramatic primetime address, calling on congress to ban assault weapons, raise h limits, expand

background checks, as democrats in the house and senate prep for new proposals for votes as early as next week. but if anything, a contentious house judiciary session two days ago, was a likely sign of things to come. house republican responses to democrats proposed gun bill range from predictably unhelpful to downright theatrical. as far as i'm concerned, intentionally provocative. our nation, as always, under the gun, that's politicsnation tonight. plus, the second contempt charge to come from the congressional investigation into january six. coming down yesterday. this one aimed at former white house trump staffer peter navarro, after he defied the committee subpoena and practically dared them to serve them. and or see him sir.

you do not want to miss this also. california's first in the nation task force on reparations and it's grand poking raking report out this week. making the repeated case for repair to justice, starting in the golden state. what does that look? like i asked the heads of the test for later in the show. but first, joining me now is senator alex -- democrat of california, and a member of the judiciary committee. the budget and homeland security committee. senator, thank you for joining us tonight. the president has called on congress to re-institute and assault weapons ban, or at least to raise the age to purchase one from 18 to 21. he's also called for background checks, legal reforms allowing gun manufacturers to be held liable, much of that tracks

with a gun reform legislation pushed through the house judiciary committee this week. nancy pelosi says they will have a full vote next week. democrats have the numbers in the house to get it passed, of course, the senate is a different story. what's your colleagues, chris murphy, is leading the democrats this mall bipartisan effort to generate gun safety legislation. those senate republicans remain generally opposed to reform. are you expecting a breakthrough in any of the senator? >> rev. good to be back with. you i tell you, i gotta be hopeful. i got to be optimistic. we certainly have to keep fighting for the gun safety measures that you have laid out, because our children deserve no less. i do want to give a shout out to senator chris murphy, who has been the lead on the democratic side in these

negotiations. the reason i feel that is i feel so encouraged by his leadership is the one thing that he and i have in common is that we are not just senators. we are father's two young children. the same age as the children who died at the mass suiting in uvalde, texas. this is personal for us. we're senators, were fathers also. why i'm also hopeful is that ideas that you're suggesting, an assault weapons ban, high capacity magazine prohibition, enhanced background checks, or not just ideas we think are good, and we cross our fingers it will save lives if implemented. but we've seen in california, when they're implemented, the numbers and the rates of mass shootings goes down. we had an assault weapons ban across the country once upon a time. these incidences went down. it's long overdue that we put back in place. >> the facts speak for itself.

they go down when the legislation is in place. when the ban was there. a very concerned about that as well as -- senator, you're on several committees. i have to ask you pivot to this bombshell coming out of the congressional investigation into january 6th. the news this weekend that former trump white house advisor peter navarro is now the second person after steve bannon to be indicted for flaunting according regression elsa peanut to comply with the probe. the house select committee on january six holding its first public hearings next week, what is the impact of these charges in your view? what's the message that's being sent by this? >> i hope it's a big, big impact on a strong message for anybody that has been asked by the january six committee to cooperate, certainly anybody who's been subpoena, or their

documents subpoenas by their january six committee, to cooperate. there has to be accountability. the committee is working diligently under chairman -- to achieve that accountability. nobody is above the law. not the former president of the united states or anybody who worked for him, especially those who are closest with them. that's how i take this recent announcement. cooperator face consequences. >> now, when i first met you, you were the secretary of state in california. as the former secretary of state of california, what is your reaction to this analysis from the new york times last month, that almost half of active battleground state republican lawmakers discredit the 2020 election results. -- nearly a quarter of gop lawmakers attempted to delay or

subvert the result in some way. thinking about midterm elections, how do you protect voters from their own lawmakers? >> it's sadly does not come as a surprise when you are fighting for dear life to hang on to political power, one of the permanent ways by republicans has been to discourage people from voting. voter rich suppression measures. or to call into question the integrity of our elections. as you said, the former secretary of state of california, the killer counter example for multiple convenient ways to register the vote, stay register the vote and actually caps your ballot. i would be remiss if i -- this is the weekend before the june 7th primary. make sure you get out and vote before tuesday. when it comes to these battleground, states knowing the political power that that,

stake republicans are making it harder, making you not believe that your mode might be counted. we overcome that to get out the vote operation,'s making sure that every voter, regardless of political leanings, gets out and has their voice heard. for those who stand for voting, rights for those who stand for woman's right to choose, for those who stand for equality and believe the climate crisis is real, for those folks, anybody who will deny climate change, and opposes the woman's right to choose, any of the other democratic values, including our fundamental right to vote, they're the ones of gotta go down. >> senator we have a pack show. i must ask you to briefly talk to me about the rights of farmworkers. i know that is a priority for you. i saw that you actually went and worked alongside of about 100 farmworkers yesterday in southern california. you are the first u.s. senator

to accept the united farmworkers unions invitations to spend a full day working alongside our farmworkers. i know that your colleague, senator cory booker, has agreed to do the same sometime soon. what drove you to that? >> i was proud to be invited. the united farmworkers union to come work a day in their food says they called it. amazing. i'm the first senator in the history of the country to do so. i'm proud to have done so. number one, as a sign of respect for the hard, hard work that they do. trust, me my back is sore today. i did it to demonstrate to them that anybody who calls farmworkers essential, the federal government recognizes them as essential, -- so thick we can have food on our tables. i went out as a sign of respect. but also to demonstrate to my colleague, i cannot tell you

firsthand how hard the work is. they need more support when it comes to labor protections. to know that the vast majority are immigrants. and many undocumented frankly. they are not shy about sharing. that they deserve better. they deserve respect. they deserve dignity. they deserve a pathway to citizenship. they are more than earned. it that was the result of my visit with them yesterday. -- >> they had you out there from six in the morning. a great great thing you didn't. senator alex padilla, thank you for being with us again. my next guess is valerie jenner, former advisor to president barack obama. she's the author of finding my voice. valerie, thank you for joining me today. >> thank you. >> i want to start with president biden's primetime address on thursday, where he verily killer the demanded raw

makers to just respond to all the recent mass shootings, calling for bans on assault style weapons, expansion on battleground checks, background checks i should say, and a pass on red flag laws. you wrecked at the lighthouse with then vice president biden. during the -- sandy hook massacre ten years ago. you said at that time that you regretted there was no congressional action after that shooting. what do you think he should do on an executive level? >> look, it's tough without congress. as you mentioned, ten years ago, in the wake of the horrific sandy hook shooting, vice biden lead the administration's efforts to first try to get congress to pass the most sensible background check to

close a loophole on background checks. when that was unsuccessful, then we said, all right let's look at all the different executive actions that the administration could take. he let that effort. it was an inclusive effort. we met with dozens of stakeholders from all different perspectives to try to address this issue. then, a couple of years later, we came out with an additional list of executive orders. congress, we shouldn't just accept that congress should into. there is no reason why civilians should have assault weapons. there's no reason they should have a high capacity magazines that can shoot dozens dozens of bullets very rapidly. there is no reason why an 18 year olds that access to guns. why shouldn't we -- question we flag when we know that people had mental illnesses? they shouldn't have the ability to get guns. we should've waiting periods. there are all kinds of ways that congress should step up to the plate. the burden shouldn't just be on the administration, because there are limits to what the

administration can do. >> the issue of guns has prompted an emotional reaction from democratic voters, as it has the possible repeal of roe versus wade, as caused a reaction. however, as the new yorker points out, president biden's faces a real challenge to pass any legislation before the midterms on either issue. how can he keep voters energized, rather than disappointed as we go into the midterms? >> change is always hard. here's the good news. the vast majority of the american people, democrats and republicans together, think that we should take steps to keep guns out of the hands of those who are danger to themselves or to others. the majority of the american people think that women have a right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. at a time when they're trying to step away or what has been a three decades long constitutional rights for women, to decide what to do with their

own bodies, they're putting our children -- i'm talking about the republican leaders and the republican folks who are elected into office, why don't they listen to the american people? there is so much we can do. in terms of energy, this election will turn on turnout. june 11th and see how many people turned out to say, it is enough is enough and we need to start taking steps to keep guns out of the wrong hands. i think that energy, coupled with the energy that is evolving, not just around, women but men also, that's a women should have a right to choose. those are two key issues. then you look at what's going on in states that are controlled by republican legislatures, they're passing laws to make it harder for people to vote, that is un-american. i think there's a whole lot of issues that they have to deal with equity, access, justice, civil rights, that are gonna energize the voters who will turn out and vote in the elections. this shouldn't be just about one election. one of the reasons why i am so excited to be part of civic --

and the work that we are doing -- that's nonpartisan. partisanship shouldn't to have anything should do with whether you open up the polls and make them accessible to vote. we want to have educated voters to get out there and turn out every election, not just elections enough to do with congress and president. but it matters who is your prosecutor? who are the local people on the school? board who are the attorneys -- all these offices impact your daily life. >> before we run out of time, president biden is currently facing a number of political predicaments. the myth ministration is rattled by sinking approval rankings, and is looking to regain voters confidence that he could provide the leadership he promised during his campaign run. considering you worked closely with president biden in the obama widen white house for a, years you've seen your fair share of political ups and downs. what is your message for

democrats who are worried right now? >> this is no time to worry. it's a time to get out, turn out and vote. no pointed running your hands, ringing your hands. the senate over president biden. he wakes up every morning thinking about you the american people. when he is counting on is that you will turn out and vote on issues that reflect your values, your priorities. this is no time to be, we stand on the shoulders of a lot of people who sacrificed greatly for us to have the opportunity to have the baton. when we have, it we the people have to get involved. this can be on the president. it involves everyone. if you care about issues like reducing gun violence, turnout on june 11th and send a strong message to those who you electorate present your interest about where you stand. >> many many thanks always, former white house advisory valerie -- no for an update on ukraine. let's go to nbc's --

he is joining us live from kyiv. , what is the latest you are seeing on the ground there? >> good evening reverent. first let me tell, you the u.s. ambassador to ukraine, -- was speaking today. she was saying that all of those responsible for war crimes during this hundred and one days must face justice. not just the soldiers that perpetrated these crimes, but the commanders and the seniors that dished out these orders. we saw those atrocities committed across the country. all of these people have to be held to account. and the united states is gonna help with any mechanism it has to bring these people to justice, and the international court, despite this war continuing. she says that process has to happen. war is not just continuing, it's raging on the eastern front. the russians are continuing to pound the donetsk, luhansk, reach, and severodonetsk, which

is the capital of the luhansk region, 100 and -- the governor of the luhansk region set a couple of days ago, the russians were in control of about 70% of that region. this morning he issued another statement saying the tightest slightly changed into ukraine's favor. and recaptured some of the key positions in severodonetsk. further west in the jonas region, the russians have also been hitting that area with heavy artillery. a monastery calls fire caught fire in that region. i'm centuries old monastery caught fire. and is raging. on president zelenskyy said about 300 people, were sheltering in the monastery, 60 of them are children. he says that four people have been killed in that monastery fire. four others have been very severely injured. once again, we are seeing that the russians are making very little distinction between civilian targets and military

positions. as this battle continues with very little and insight. reverent. >> nbc's ali arouzi, thank you for that reporting. coming up, after falsely accusing democrats of planting poll workers to sway the 2020 presidential election, new reporting suggest that republicans may be doing exactly that. in the midterms and beyond. first my colleague richard newly-with today's top news stories. >> good day to. you some of the stories we are watching. tropical storm alex is now soaking parts of southern florida. that storm dropped 11 inches of rain causing widespread flooding in the last 24 hours. hundreds of flights are delayed or councils across the state. a small private airplane entered the restricted air's face over the delaware home of the president and first lady today. reports say the pilot mistakenly entered that restricted airspace. he was apparently on the wrong

republicans have been subjecting americus to the big lie. the completely unfounded claim that democrats somehow rigged the 2020 election for joe biden. there is even a movie out about it. a film called 2000 meals, falsely stating hundreds of democrats and five states

somehow gathered and collected absentee ballots, through a scam called ballot harvesting. that evidence presented is so flimsy, fox host news tucker calls won't even have the filmmaker to talk about it after taking jobs at him. in georgia, my 62-year-old black grandmother and her daughter, -- have been subjected to death threats and harassments from trump supporters over a -- klain that showed them pulling ballots out of a suitcase, according to the associated press. the pair are suing trump lawyer rudy giuliani for pushing that conspiracy theory. given all this on founded hysteria from some republicans, i was a little surprise this week to hear about comments from the michigan rnc's

election integrity director. the man the party supposedly put in place to make sure elections are free and fair. was caught on tapes obtained by politico talking about a plan to install republican loyalists at poll workers. in order to aggressively defeat ballots and counts from the inside. politico reports that matthew seyfried said quote, being a poll worker, you just have so much more rights and things you can do to stop something that as a poll challenger. unquote. let me be clear. the job of poll workers should be to gather and count the votes. period. flooding the process with political upper merchants, would undermine its integrity, not enhancement. republicans that have been pushing lies about elections are not using those falsehoods to justify strategies that look

a lot like the schemes they falsely claim were being used by the other side. it's not just a danger to democrats. it's a danger to democracy. it's time for all of us to come together and stop it before it's too late. i got you. your energy. loaded with b vitamins... ...and other key essential nutrients... ...it's a tasty way to conquer your day. try centrum multi gummies. now with a new look. you're pretty particular about keeping a healthy body. what goes on it. usually. and in it. mostly. here to meet those high standards is the walgreens health and wellness brand. over 2000 high quality products. rigorously tested by us. real world tested by you. and delivered to your door in as little as one hour.

even though or years removed from the trump administration, some republicans are continuing to push false claims of voter fraud, trying to undermine the most basic fundamentals of our democracy. voting rights remain a major concern for the upcoming midterms and beyond. what many experts warning our democracy is in danger. let's bring on my political panel. susan --

political analogy list for nbc and -- the former chair of the maryland democratic party. susan, let me go to you first. democracy may have dodged a bullet in pennsylvania. doctor oz secured the republican nomination in a race for the senate last night after his challenger david mccormick conceded friday to donald trump's pick. oz had faced pressure from the former president to declare himself the winner even before the election was called. it was too close to call. trump wanted him to declare himself the winner as trump himself did in 2020. what's you and all encouraged by the fact that trump endorsed candidate was not willing to follow the advice of donald trump? >> well, this trump endorsed candidate had no choice. the race came down to less than one half of 1%.

there was an automatic by law recount. i'm not gonna give credit to dr. oz because dr. oz doesn't deserve credit because he's been spewing a whole bunch of lies. so no. who i will give credit to is mccormack, because he recognized that he wasn't going to close the gap, and he said i concede. and left it so we can have faith in our democratic process. >> all. right maya, we had many new developments this week in the investigation into january 6th. former trump advisor peter navarro was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of contempt for refusing to comply with the select committee subpoena for testimony. each car cherries charge of maximum sentence of one year in prison. here's what he had to say exclusively with msnbc just hours before his indictment on the possibility of going to jail for these charges.

>> the seriousness for me is, the average lifespan in for the american mail is 76 years old, if i were to go to prison for a year, which is what the contempt could do to me, that would be about a fourth of my remaining life. there would be a fine that would take a significant portion of my retirement savings. so i'm taking this very seriously. >> this comes as the house panel is expected to hold its first televised primetime hearing on thursday. what's the significance of this indictment maya? >> i think it shows that the department of justice is playing hardball. the fact that they were willing to arrest him, not just indict, but arrest, in which means that they perhaps had suspicion that he would be a possible flight risk. and of course, actually pursuing these charges against

bannon and navarro, means that the department of justice is actually rejecting the argument that you can claim executive privilege as being a part of this criminal conspiracy, that was being run out of the white house. i think it's gonna get really interesting i rev. think the indictments do suggest that the department of justice is willing to play and i'm curious to see if they are going to actually make a move against donald trump and his inner circle. it will be interesting to see if those two other indictments, -- scavino in the white house chief of staff are withheld for the possibility of some other entrée into the justice system for those two. >> all right. susan, let's go to florida, where governor ron desantis and a state ruling republicans are celebrating a major victory as

they received the approval to go forward with their redistricting map, which splits up a large black population. these efforts by republicans to undermine the system, almost always results in disenfranchisement for non white voters. and state lawmakers tighten voting rules, what would be the impact on the midterm election? >> well, we will have to see. the good news is there is a dry run with their primary, with the florida primary, so we will be able to see how elections are being conducted. are people voting by mail? which has become more and more popular in florida over the years. it's certainly, or even voting early. so we have to see if there is any change in the. what's wrong is that is this idea of people not having a basic thing that they can go to the polls, that they won't be intimidated when they get, there they can simply cast their ballot, but also people

shouldn't have to wait five hours. i hope that the people of florida vote early, or vote by mail, because it is so important to have your vote counted. do not listen to the people who say it's rigged. it's not rigged. florida had very secure election. 2020 was a very secure election. everyone should go to the polls. i hope make a good decision. >> maya, we spoke about this in today's -- political reports on a gop plan to build an army of body to be deployed in michigan and other swing states with the purpose of contesting votes. you were chair of the party democratic party of maryland, how concerned are you about people watching and the issues may cause for voters of color? >> very concerned. we've got driving while black, we've got walking while black, voting while black and brown.

it is not just, they call this the precinct strategy, the republicans do. it's not just about poll watchers, as it has been in the past for the republicans. this is about actually seeding poll workers, those people are working behind the desks, the people are actually taking your ballot in possibly putting them to a machine. those people who are possibly looking over your shoulder as your completing ballots. so with, that the fact that this strategy actually encourages these partisan poll workers to actually find fraud means that they were actually seeking to do some harm to our democracy. there is seeking to basically muddy the waters and create questions about the legitimacy of the election at the very heart of our democracy. which is at the polling place on the ballot box. that is serious business. >> susan and, maya thank you both for being with us.

reparations to black americans, once a political nonstarter, could soon be a reality in california. the states first in the nation task force on reparations issued its first report this week. it is the most extensive document on government anti black discrimination in more than 50 years. while the task force is split on one repaired of justice might look like in the golden state, the report may explain why it is necessary.

joining me now is camilla more and reverend amos brown, the chair and vice chair of the california reparations task force. reverend browned, we really appreciate you joining us tonight. before we get into more specifics, i would imagine that most of our viewers do not think of california as having been a proximate to slavery and jim crow like you might think of the south and so many of our majors histories. but in my reading and studying and traveling, i was reminded that both slavery and jim crow had an impact on california that filled it down to the conditions that black residents are still contending with. this task force is trying to

correct that. do i have that right, chairwoman evans? >> german more -- >> chairwoman more, i'm sorry, go ahead -- >> yes, that is correct. go ahead, vice chair brown. >> it all began with the first governor, peter burnett, who was an arch racists. when he became governor, he tried to get a measure through the assembly that no blacks would be permitted to settle and california at all. >> wow, so it started with madam chair lady -- it comes all the way to now, where we see a lot of the conditions rooted in what happened in the history of california, the hidden conditions that are still being

faced. >> absolutely, just to continue with that narrative, the dominant narrative is that california entered into the union as a free stay in 1850 -- after california entered, what that meant was, if an african or black person was enslaved and became free excuse me -- what that meant was, for instance, there were three people in california that could be subject to deportation and re-enslaved in the south under the new slave act. but we learned in the task force early on in september through expert witnesses, they could even be subject to reinstatement in the state of california. >> reverend brown, paraphrasing

a quote from you in the washington post this week, you pressed white americans on californians to sign off on cash reparations for black people. of course, that fits with the 2021 goal by the washington post that found that 65% of americans oppose cast reparations for black americans. more than three quarters of white americans are opposed to the idea. i know that the task force is still working out the next step, but if it is not going to be direct cash payments, how should california proceed in your view? >> it should proceed by by funding educational programs, making housing opportunities available, making sure we deal with the criminal justice system that has been wrong and unjust for blacks, and we should also look at the health conditions.

whether it is physical, mental or environmental health, this state has been guilty of public policy measures that have caused great harm, trauma and death to african americans. even allen's worth california, the town that was established in 1908 by reverend allen allen's worth. he had in mind -- what happened? the political action, the water was positive. the railroad tracks were redirected to kill the town. that is a historical fact, and that was initiated by political leadership in the state. even the ku klux klan in california was born here in separate cisco, of all places. that has had the brand an image of being liberal and progressive.

i don't know. we have been infected with the same virus of race, injustice and downright meanness to black people, just because of the color of the skin and not because of any particular crime. >> chairperson more, congresswoman jackson-lee, i briefly want to talk about this -- doctor ron -- and other supporters of reparation study say that they have the votes to get the act passed in the representatives. passage in the senate remains unlikely, and for that reason, some are pushing the president to create the commission through executive order. given how much political nonstop this issue was even a decade ago when we had a black president, can you envision a near future in which the federal government will issue reparations at a national level to black americans, miss more?

>> yes, absolutely -- [inaudible] to add to vice chair brown, we are mandated to actually consider and recommend cash and direct financial compensation to the pacific community. that is what we are required to do. we actually hired five people to serve on the economic consultant team to help with that. to answer your question, yes, absolutely. if you look at the preliminary recommendations in our report, you will find a recommendation to the biden administration to create a reparations commission, specifically for american friedman. we are hyper focused on the state of california right now. i want to know another preliminary recommendation in a report is to create california african american friedman
