good evening and welcome to politicsnation. tonight's theme, divided we stand, united. right now, i am still reflecting on our president admitting that the greatest terror threat we faced is from within. and it stems from our enduring division around race.

>> we need to say clearly and forcefully, white supremacy, all forms of hate, fueled by violence have no place in america. let's call it out in its complicity. there when we bring it up, we divide the. country if we bring it, up we silent. it instead of remaining silent. >> i left this week's white house summit on hate crimes as international action network, thinking about the spike in the driven violence from the far-right over the last six years. i appreciated that president biden was candid about that threat. but i couldn't help but think, this week especially, about how comfortable even mainstream republicans have become with cruelty as a political tactic. in addition to the two prominent gop candidates who thought a decent to leave migrants and asylum seekers stranded to score political

points. there was a maga republican, senator lindsey graham, announcing his bill for a national abortion ban. just three months after the reversal of roe, and its effects on millions of women. and then there was the parties leader, donald trump, again suggesting an indictment for his handling of classified documents in the mar-a-lago investigation would result in violence. as the january 6th probe continues to unpacked the violence of that day. and the former presidents -- . still the reality is none of this matters if republican voters aren't turned off in november. and, democrats must still turn out. and so, the president and his party have seven weeks left to convince americans to choose their platform of help, while

the other side continues to choose home. that is tonight on politicsnation. joining me now is congresswoman bonnie watson comb, win democrat in new jersey. congresswoman, the first of all, thank you for joining us. and before we get into a packed news week, i have to start with the white house summit on extremism that i and other civil rights leaders pushed for after several hate based attacks in el paso, and various synagogues across the nation. and across the races mask aren't buffalo december. that is where i was when i called him and said we need to push for the summit. and some of those families joined me at the summit. i want to play a bit more of what president biden had to say about the current domestic terror threat. >> our own intelligence

agencies in the united states of america have determined that domestic terrorism, rooted in white supremacist is the greatest threat to our homeland today. . i've been around a while and i never thought i would heard that said. enough. >> congresswoman, we both know that several of the participants in the insurrection were active and retired military. we know from federal law enforcement that white supremacist and extremist groups have been actively recruiting from the military. now, u.s. a member of house and homeland security. how worried about, how worried are you about this threats, and do you anticipate to republicans taking this particular threat seriously? should they regain the house or the senate or both chambers of

congress? will they take this seriously? >> thank you for having me, reverend. you and i both know that we have been concerned about hate in this country, emanating from those within our country, white supremacists, anti races, and all those kinds of folks, for a very long time. so i want to think of that our president is giving voice to the seriousness of this moment and the urgency with which we need to address it. to put resources behind, and to try to heal our communities. you have asked very significant questions about republicans. no, i do not think that they care one iota about this. i think that they are very much engaged in fermenting this divisiveness and this hatefulness it is taking place in our country right now. and should they gain control of either the house or both houses, i think that we would see that there would be even greater encouragement of the kind of

disarray and hateful actions against gay people, black people, latinos, immigrants, asian americans, everybody that isn't white and principally white and male i think that aj moxie is in peril here, right now. and that republicans are okay with that. and that it's something very dangerous place for us to be as individuals and as a country. >> congresswoman, i'm still struck but not surprised about the cruelty in the name of politics that we saw this week. to republican governor seeking reelection, florida's rhonda sanchez and greg abbott of texas, transported dozens of migrants from their respective states to washington and massachusetts martha's vineyard, in the case of desantis says

that he intends to escalate the relocations and may ultimately collaborate with abbott. you said on the house overland security, where does the agency come down on this? >> well, i think the agency recognizes that the route of what is happening with both our, with immigration and with these what these two governors are doing. you call it transporting, some people refer to it as trafficking. we need to see our agencies, federal agencies, to look at it for what it is. and to use the resources to you ensure that these two governors that have so little regard for human life, who have so little regard for the rule of law, to be held accountable. thank god that these immigrants were greeted warmly and that's in at least doesn't martha's vineyard who want to do something to protect them. they didn't know where they

were going, reverend. and they were misled. as to where they were going and what was going to happen. and what is that? that is trafficking of human beings. >> absolutely. and it is the same thing, the same thing that segregationist did two blacks in the south. there was once a trip brought to massachusetts and that they were going to meet with president jon kennedy, supposedly dumping on massachusetts about integration. and it has not been lost on me that desantis and abbott sent the migrants to cities that have black mayors. washington, chicago, and new york. and martha's vineyard which is known for where a lot of successful blacks including barack obama have homes. but, let me go to another subject though, congresswoman. senator lindsey graham's bill introduced this week for a national abortion ban was reported to be a nonstarter even among senate republicans.

but still, it has been cast as both a mid term tactic and, for graham, a republican efforts to rile rally his base around the abortion issue ahead of november. and as democrats have since, the reversal of roe had to deal with this with barely seven weeks left before the midterms, whose base is more energized? because of that decision of roe by the supreme court, and its aftermath? >> i think what we are seeing is that more women have registered to vote than men i think we have seen more activism for those who want to protect and preserve the rights of women to be able to access the health care they need with regard to reproduction or anything. i think that it has to energize democrats, independents, and reasonable republicans to recognize that this is a hateful, hurtful, dangerous

precedent that republicans are supporting. even though this may be a nonstarter, you wonder what is lindsey graham thinking. who were they listening to? because i don't believe that they are paying attention through the polling, the disobeying, and the outrage that is taking place right now. even just on this issue of a woman's right and agency over her own body. so, i used to think that he had a modicum of decency about him, but something is really happening with lindsey graham because he's taking a nosedive into the swamp that the president left behind when he moved on to mar-a-lago. but you know what, here is the deal. we have seven weeks. we talked about that. we have a responsibility to connect with as many people as we possibly can, because the contrast between democrats trying to protect people, democrats doing policy and

protection over politics, and democrats who pass legislation. that is all about lowering costs, making life better for individual working families, creating jobs. the rat from the rescue plan to the infrastructure plan to the recently signed inflationary reduction plan, the contrast between democrats and republicans is just so monumental that i cannot believe that the majority in this country would want to support going back to where we would be if republicans were elected and placed in a majority hour, i think, challenges to get that message out. i think that the january 6th committee, the way it handled its investigation and its hearings has helped tremendously in having people understand that democracy is in

peril, here that we have a assaults upon the rule of law, here. and that individual rights, collective rights, and just autonomy, and the responsibility of the government is supposed to be vying for the people. all of that is on the ballot. >> yeah, that is what is on the. ballot >> and so our challenge is to get that word out to the young, the old, and the in between. >> all right. thank you for being with us, tonight congresswoman body what man coleman of the home and security committee in the u.s. congress. joining me now is the first african american elected statewide, in a statewide office in the state of nevada. he is served as the attorney general since 2000 the 19. he is now up for reelection this november. aaron ford, thank you for joining me today. standby for one moment before we continue. we want to show you live

pictures out of england where air force one has just landed with president biden and the first lady they are in the united kingdom to attend queen elizabeth's funeral on monday. the bbc is reporting about 500 heads of state will be present at the queen's funeral. >> all right, attorney general, ford let me come back to you. this november there will be a staggering amount of 2020 election deniers on the ballot. 27 different states will have someone running for statewide office who believes that the 2020 election was stolen. according to a state's united action reports because of, this the rule of a state attorney general and secretaries of state feel more significant than ever before. what does this wave of election

deniers running for office say about the current state of our democracy? >> reverend, sharpening you so much for having. leon it is a pleasure and a delight. you have raised a very important issue. and as the congresswoman talked, about the fact is that democracy is at stake i have spoken to several folks around our state, and frankly, as a co-chair of the -- association, i have spoken to colleagues around the country and at the top of mind for a lot of folks is the democracy that we so love and cherish. and so, when you have election deniers running for, and not only running for but winning in primaries and in all of our states, in many of our states, it is important to note that we are gonna have to have people who are gonna be willing to speak to stand up against them when they bring forth what are sure to be an unfounded allegations of voter fraud, and widespread voter fraud. we have seen it before, there's been a test run in 2020 gearing

up for 2024. we can't let them have it. now throughout your career you have made and then gun violence a top priority. you have advocated for banning ghost guns, expanding background checks, and banning domestic abusers from owning firearms. he also supported a red flag of law in the bottom of that past. but has not been used as frequently, as the red flag laws in other states. and while crime has decreased under your tenure, the murder rate in nevada rules 27% from 2019 to 2020. why aren't red flag laws looking at the scale that they were intended to in nevada? what specific actions do you plan to take against gun violence if reelected. >> well thank you so much for bringing up that issue, very important to show you in the state i have been at the forefront from trying to assure that we have enhanced public

safety's by cracking down on gun violence. you are right that crime is decrease under my ten year but the particular type of violent crimes that relates to gun has in fact increased. we have a gun problem in our state, not many of us will disagree with that fact. and so what would we have been able to do is pass things like red flag laws. what's to your point, have not been used as frequently. what we intend to do about that is to actually make corporate with the branch and for the governor, already talking about a public information campaign of sports. to remind people of this red flag law. which by the, way goes on the other side of the hour. soon to stop the red flag law from being utilized. my office has had the definitive lawsuit, still the fact that we will continue to educate the public around when it's appropriate to be used and let them know that it is a tool that can help them down on the mountains. >> when it comes to criminal justice reform, your republican opponent has accused you of being soft on crime.

social justice reform. referencing the 2019 justice reform bill, you supported that aims to reduce the prison population in nevada. with the passage of this comprehensive reform bill, your state has seen a decrease in overall crime. and astounding 40% decrease in robberies. what do you say to critics like her political opponent. who refute your approach to criminal justice reform? >> i said what you just, the proof is in the pudding. the truth of the matter is, when i went to law school hopefully when she went to law school, we learned our several purposes to the criminal justice system. they include to be sure, punishment and isolation. they also and cute rehabilitation and restoration. as an attorney general, it's the focus on all four of those things. and we are good at the first, to not to get at the last time we tried to focus on the last two, and one of you and the terms like soft on crime.

a truth is when you employ a holistic approach to criminal justice system, you have positive results of you have been able to rattle off here in the state. i will continue to do my job as the top officer in the state, in respect of ridiculous connotations of being soft on crime. again, the proof is in the, putting those numbers demonstrate our approaches work. >> we are out of time, i must ask you this. again a brief answer from you. across the country, we are seeing an impressive number of black candidates running for office in 2022. even states with a long history of electing african americans as the first african american elected to the state that they are running in. you have being the first elected, black elected official statewide in nevada. how does your perspective and background inform your priorities and decisions as the attorney general for the state of nevada? >> listen reverend, right after george floyd was murdered, i

went to the television area and i said lesson before became attorney general, i was a black man. i'm a black man, married to a black woman raising three black sons in the black nephew. and then one and done being a general, i would be a black man. so that absolutely informs the approach of i take, recognizing that i have some experiences that have not otherwise been represented in this particular office. and so for example, when you have an opponent running against me that is said she wants to see me handing from a crane, that two plays a huge part in a way that i approach this. recognizing that i represent a struggle that has not been been fulfilled, and continue to work with representation and all that we do. i am proud and honored to be the attorney general for nevada, plowed to represent a back row that is not been presented before. >> nevada tony general, thank you very much for being with us. coming up, attack republicans are now using a slowdown democracy. up next, in this week's got

you. later the governor mississippi takes jabs at jackson's water crisis. as other gop leaders played political gains with migrants seeking safety. first my colleague, gigi stone words with today's top news stories. gigi, i am sorry. >> thanks rob, here are the some of the stories we are watching at this hour. queen elizabeth's eight grandchildren stood guard beside her coffin in westminster hall today. brothers wayman harry were among, them dressed in uniform. earlier king charles the third and prince william surprise mourners waiting in line to see the queen lying in state. civilians have been waiting up to 16 hours to pay their respects. ukrainian officials set on friday they have found hundreds of bodies buried in territory, recaptured from russian forces. and what presidents unless he called proof of war crimes by the kremlin. that mass burial site was found in -- a city between the border of kharkiv and the da next region.

why greats from texas to d.c. today. dumping them outside the vice presidents residence. the governor ron desantis has been sending two dozen migrants to martha's vineyard, for them being housed at a military base in cape cod. where they're being fed and cared for. this tactic of human beings as political props is nothing new. as the jfk library foundation pointed out, in a tweet recently southern white leaders in the 60s organized so call reversed freedom rides. giving black people one-way tickets to the north with false promises of jobs, housing and better lives that was done to an effort to humiliate black people. and and barest northern liberals. beyond politics, these are real people. many of them children. how do we put an end to what is going on right now, and such

treating these migrants with the dignity that all of us deserve? >> first off rev, these are cool political stunts. let's be clear, especially what the santas did. he lied to 50 people to get them on a plane. he sabotage their asylum seeking process by flying them off to another jurisdiction. like the truth is our immigration system is messed up. our asylum system is messed up. our border states have borne the brunt of this broken immigration system but to do what desantis did and what abbott is doing, that is not contributing to any sort of solution, the republicans are trying to change the conversation. they believe this issue helps them and if they can get people talking about immigration, i think it will benefit them for the midterms. >> adrian and in about an hour

and donald trump will be speaking at a rally in youngstown ohio. where he is stumping for republican senate candidate, j.d. vance. grace is surprisingly close between vance and congressman tim ryan. a new emerson college and he has the two candidates virtually tied among ohio voters. now this week, comments made by vance on a podcast earlier this year. earlier this year resurfaced. take a listen. >> let's say roe v. wade is overruled, ohio vance abortion in 2022. let's say true thousand and 24. then every day, george soros sends a 7:47 to columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in california. of course, the left will celebrate as a victory for diversity. if that happens, do you need

some federal response to prevented from happening because it's really creepy? i'm pretty sympathetic to that actually. hopefully we get to a point where ohio bans abortion and california, and the sorrows of the world respect it. >> hearing that, aside from the casual racism and antisemitism. how do you respond in this week? we have seen republican leaders actually fly migrants to liberal cities. >> yes i mean, review cannot squared because they simply do not make any sense. the party of quote unquote personal freedom as only the party of personal freedom when it applies to men. now when it applies to women's reproductive health. and seeing what they're doing to these migrants, i completely agree with joe. they are trying to deflect from the fact that they are not performing as well as a thought they would in the midterms. they're trying to get the topic off of abortion access. away from, that a lot of

candidates don't even talk about it, they are raising their previous positions that being pro-life, pro-life, pro-life on their website. but look, this is why tim ryan, one of the many -- why time ryan who is a good personal friend of mine is doing so well in this race. it's a race that donald trump won handily in 2022. tim ryan's pulling ahead of j.d. vance and those polls right now. the race will continue to be tight, i think i'd be a very close race. but j.d. vance is sort of touch with voters in ohio, especially this piece of women who will ultimately decide who wins at senate race. and then i want to talk about abortion, i doubt j.d. vance is out there stomping on that topic talking about it. i would not be surprised if it doesn't come up during the rally. because i know this is not a winning issue for them and it's -- the republicans and i also think what this at this an avatar doing by flying migrants who are trying to escape communism who are trying to do it is best for their families.

flying them to other states, it just screams a nasty, gross political stunt. and then those key independent voters and moderate voters who will decide the midterm, see it as that. >> joe four weeks, jackson mississippi residents have been dealing with water crisis after a catastrophic flooding. knocked out the city's aging water treatment facility. a day after the republican governor -- declared a victory. and helping to restore the water supply. he was tracking jokes about the situation. take a listen. >> i have to tell, you a great day to be -- also is always a great day to not be in jackson. i feel like i should've got my regency manor show director had and take it in the car. take off my publics work director had only been in the car. >> now the situation was no laughing matter for tens of thousands of residents who have

had to deal with the water that smells like raw sewage. coming out of there and faucets and showers, health officials are still telling pregnant women and children to stick to bottled water. what do you make of the governor's comments? >> now what a cruel thing to say. the governor of a state saying that about his capital city. look here is the deal, they have all learned that every member of my former political party has learned from donald trump that cruelty works. and divisiveness works. and ugliness works. it worked for trump and owl sadly, all of these republican candidates up and down the line, they are emulating him. cruelty is the thing. and look at it just one more reason why i believe my former party is such a danger right now to our republican. >> aj new developments in the

legal showdown over the classified documents seized from trump's mar-a-lago residents. last night, the department of justice filed a motion with the 11th circuit court of appeals for a partial state pending appeal. asking for investigators to be granted access to the classified records. with the judge, with a judge blocked the access pending an examination of the documents by a special master. meanwhile, reporting from the washington post. reveals months before national archives officials retrieve classified documents in 15 boxes from mar-a-lago. there were told none of the material sensitive or classified. and that trump only had 12 boxes of news clippings. the former president delay tactics are all too familiar. but aren't they also a real threat to national security. when you are talking about

classified materials? yes of course reverend, again as you know i worked on hillary clinton's campaign. in 2008 in 2016. the hypocrisy coming from the republicans. the hypocrisy coming from trump's team in terms of the very minor circumstance that had clinton's emails versus donald trump having boxes and boxes. of classified information. it is residents in mar-a-lago illegally start but look i think trump's attorneys have lost almost all of the credibility. also a really good piece of new york times today from maggie haberman talking about how the attorneys are also going through their own legal jeopardy's. because of situations and things that they have said to try to defend donald trump. under oath so they're getting themselves trouble. it just a big giant mess. i do think donald trump is trying to run out the clock. trying to do whatever he can to avoid indictment. this just screams a hot mess. and i think this time he isn't

really deep trouble. and it is just a matter of time until we see that play out. >> joel, thank you so much for being with us. coming up next, more than 30 years after his death at the hands of law enforcement, philip's life story is being told in a brand-new documentary. and his family will join me next. and his family will join m next

progressive community of new jersey was rocked by the death of filipino. a black teenager shot and killed by a white teenage police officer who claimed he was reaching for a gun after a foot chase. witnesses and forensics later suggested otherwise. finding that parnell had been shot in the back, his hands raised at the time of the shooting. regardless, the officer who fired the fatal shot was found not guilty of manslaughter. it was in the wake of finales killing that i would go on to find, to found my national action network organization. three decades later, i am proud to say that msnbc films has re-visited the incident. and the movement it sparked. and it's four part series, modern america premiering tomorrow night. and joining me now, the family

a philip parnell, his mother fell mama dance lure and his sister, natasha parnell. vice president of the philippe anello foundation. -- thank you for being with us tonight and i might add in the building i did not know he was coming as daughtry, one of the leaders of 31 years ago. still remains that. let me ask you this, is there one thing i would like to drive on before we begin. that is that he was supposed to be this progressive beacon in new jersey. first american town to voluntarily desegregate its schools through busing in 1966. it was known for its efforts during integration to incorporate this growing black community and to local government and school boards. yet the town exploded along racial lines after your son's killing you, your brother's killing. i would like to start with a clip from the series, one that

i think sets up just how different teaneck was supposed to be and then come back to both of you. >> this was a middle class, model city america. a great place to raise a family and a very that verse environment. >> the fact of the matter is, philip cornell was executed. >> we live in teaneck, this does not happen in teaneck. >> there was no reason for that cop to shoot him in his back. >> he was going to shoot people, that is the truth. >> my 16 old brother was sleigh in 30 years ago, and teaneck, new jersey. >> my shooting will never go away, it is with me every day of my life. >> that was my child.

we endure it has been for 30 years. and we are back here again. >> valmont, let me ask you first because this was your son. i remember 32 years ago, one of the most difficult things to do is even get you to talk in the media. you had so much pain. but now that the story has come out and there's been so many police shootings. i think the difference here is this was in suburban america. this is where blacks, and whites had congratulate each other coming together. but when your son was shot in the back with his hands up. they could not deal with, it didn't want to prosecute the policeman. how do you feel watching this and preparing for the premiere of this documentary? >> colin ever thought that this would come to life. so, now since this is out and the truth how it came out. my soul inside of my heart,

does not a click it used to make. because we always knew that my son had his hands up but to prove it to the way the world is now, that is huge to me. so god bless me all of these years and i am one of the mothers to see the truth come out about my son. that's a lot of others that don't even get justice for their son. the weeping mothers, i feel for them i really do. >> natasha, you have been a driving force of justice for your brother. and said by your mother all of these years. found the foundation trying to help others. how do you feel now that the nations will see what really happened 32 years ago? >> i feel grateful like my mother said that i'm here to live it. e to there have been many other, mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers who did not see

justice. whereas they died of broken hearts. i am really thankful that i was able to keep up the good fight and continue to and fight for the truth. it's not just about my brother at this moment, it's about our future. >> you know natasha, you watched the murder of george floyd in the last two years national conversations around policing reform. are you hard invite all despite a lack of tangible reform on federal level? >> i definitely am. i'm surprised they did not pass the george floyd bill on a state level. it had to go to a federal level. we i stand by the end of qualified community. also the fact that it should be independent prosecutors appointed for these type of killings that police are doing. and then also for the community

civilian review boards, to have subpoena power. those are important to me. >> and you know cellmate two years ago, what would've been phillips 47th birthday, a memorial tree was planted in a local park that philip played in. contained with the printed program, wasn't ad from the teaneck police department. i bring that up because that one of the family gets the sense that the department and the city have learned anything from that day in 1990. now your thoughts if any about that you are -- >> i think some of them have gone, have how can i say this? that they have learned that there was rachel tension in teaneck all the time. it was separate. me as a mother, i worked a lot. so my children used to come and tell me different things but

they love teaneck, they never had this problem until that day. i never thought that teaneck was like that. i never dreamed of it because i love teaneck. >> let me say again the courage you have shown and the consistency, to fight over three decades. to finally get this out and the courage that both of you have shown. and i know myself and other activists came out, there this is what i want to have on. we were ridiculed but you stood strong. and your father still strong. and i want to give him credit, he was tenacious. and i'm glad that it is going to come to light. now people can watch it, thank you vilma and pannell, natasha pannell. you can read more about phillip's pannell case and his impact on the movement. my op-ed on msnbc caught calm right now. and then on sunday watch the model america, for part series that begins at 10 pm eastern on
