politicsnation. tonight's lead, president biden's big speech. on tuesday evening, president biden will appear before a joint session of congress to deliver his state of the union address. many americans will be tuning in, looking for answers. those of us still mourning the death of tyre nichols at the hands of memphis police we want to hear the presidents prayer for reforming law enforcement in this country. americans also want to know how the administration will respond to a suspected chinese spy balloon the drifted across our nation's skies before being downed off the coast of the carolinas.
2:02 pm
in the president will meet to begin making the case to voters why he deserves to maintain control of the white house in 2024. a sales pitch there will no doubt include last week's strong jobs markets, a sign that the economy remains resilient, even as inflation continues to eat away at many americans paychecks. joining us to talk about all these issues and more is south carolina congressman and assistant democratic leader, jim clyburn. congressman, thank you for joining us this evening. let me start with this. your state has been the center of a lot of the weekend's top news stories, and we are going to get to all of them, but i want to start with that chinese balloon shut down yesterday off the coast of south carolina, on
2:03 pm
orders from president biden. chinese officials have called the u.s. response in overreaction, while republicans have called the handling of the situation liking urgency, even though the building was downed as soon as the military deemed it safe to do so. >> thank you very much for having me. i think that the president -- we're leading it to the officials department, and figuring out how to do it, and when to do it. i'm especially thankful that they waited until that balloon got off the coast of south carolina, and into the waters, so the any debris would not be falling on anybody's property. or on their heads. they did it the right way, and just chill out and let the
2:04 pm
experts do this. telling people how to handle the situation is not a good thing to do. >> i think it's working well. >> congressman, let's switch gears. i want to congratulate you after the democratic national committee voted yesterday to prove a new calendar, making south carolina the first primary state in the nation in the 2024 election. talk about why this move is so important, especially for african american voters. are you concerned about new hampshire lawmakers, including the states democratic senator maggie hassan, who had vowed that the state will go first in the primaries, despite the dnc decision. >> that sounds like never to me. a grew up in south carolina, a group of all across the south. this whole thing about district
2:05 pm
regarding -- they've given so much to this party. the african american voters, hispanic voters who have done great work for the party. what the president is doing is saying, let's give them the rightful places on the calendar. this whole thing, saying that i must always be first. it's almost like me saying i will always sit on -- we have to be careful on how we make these arguments, and then if people say the you have to respect rural america, i represent rural america in south carolina. i represent farming, and rural people. i represent people that did not have broadband, and still don't have it. they're trying to make it possible for them under this new bill that the president just passed. i think that the president did
2:06 pm
well, and within the first three days, you have loud voices from the african american community, from the has been a community, and from suburban communities over in new hampshire. on saturday, through tuesday. they are all there, this sentiment. new hampshire has never been first, they came after iowa, and they're still in the same place that they were. south carolina -- not new hampshire. >> we mentioned the state of the union at the top of the show. we know that the parents of tyre nichols, i spoke with them today, they will be. present in the chamber that the black caucus. you were one of several members of the congressional black caucus to meet with the president about police reform in the past week. what do you want to hear from him on tuesday about that issue? >> i think the president has
2:07 pm
made it very clear. it's all about public safety and accountability. public safety, and accountability. we must always seek safety for the public. we always have to have people be accountable for their actions. i believe the president will come before the american people and make it very clear. this is not about sloganeering. and by the, way walter scott from -- who was a constituent of mine, his brother is going to be my guest. if we stop talking about the name and stuff, let's just come forward with a plan that will deal with that. senator scott from north carolina will be very important to us, and i know that he knows the family of walter scott, and he knows how important this is
2:08 pm
to his constituents. i think that he is going to work very closely with senator cory booker to get something done in the senate, and make progress on this issue. public safety and accountability. >> walter scott, for our listeners, was shot in the back in charleston by a police officer. you are right, he was close with the family, is close with the family, it has worked with cory booker in the past. they haven't always been on the same page, but i hope that he will continue to make efforts to find some common ground. trying to deal with both public safety and accountability. before we wrap up, the new york times is reporting republican congressman george santos is being accused of sexual harassment by perspective aids. the ranking member of that ethics committee says the dave received a letter from the accuser, detailing the
2:09 pm
complaint. msnbc has not independently verified these claims, and his office has not yet responded to our inquiries. i bring this up because allegations continue to pile up against this new york lawmaker. and yet last week, republican leadership was focused on removing democrats from key committees, including congresswoman johanns omar, one of just two female muslims in congress. are republicans proud half these moves here, congressman? >> absolutely. he is a member of the foreign affairs committee, and let me say this. we have 17 jewish members in that caucus. all of them supported her, and for them to be using this whole issue, saying that she said something that is anti-semitic,
2:10 pm
she apologized, and i sat down with her for about an hour after she made those claims. i accept her apology, oh the jews in our -- and so what is this guy talking about? he's going to punish her for saying something rather than accepting her apology, let's move on. and so to me, that shows the public exactly what the leader is all about. it's about retribution, it's about getting back and people, it's about doing something just because you have the power to do so. that's not the way that we -- that's what they taught me early on. you lead by example. now the speaker of the house will demonstrate the leadership by example. >> think you, congressman jim clyburn. switching gears now, college board is under fire for announcing last week that it would make changes to its
2:11 pm
proposed african american studies, course after it was banned in florida by governor ron desantis, for what he called left-wing bias. joining me now, randi weingarten, president of the american federation of teachers. randi, welcome. it's great to see you, even though we are seeing each other through a screen. let's go right to it. college board, announcing those changes on wednesday, that no longer includes lesson on the movement of black lives, and readings from any contemporary, keywords and concepts removed from the curriculum, such as institutional racism, queer theory, and mass incarceration. what is your take on these revisions? >> i was disappointed with the revisions. just for your information,
2:12 pm
those revisions actually happened. let me take a step back, reverent. i taught this class, i'm a big believer in these courses. i'm a really big believer in making sure that we have the ap african american studies course. it's not a history of course, it's a studies course. it's beyond history. in schools across the country. and so of course i was disappointed with these things. basically there is one mention of -- bumblebee of a class basis. i thought that was very undermining as well. i thought we needed to have -- and so you connect movements from the 50s and 60s, 70s movements, from abolition ten now. that's how you teach if you're a social studies teacher, an english teacher.
2:13 pm
that is how ap is normally taught. the question becomes, what did he know, and when did he know it. why would he use what is a very important class, looking at the kids, from miami-dade, where he took this class for five months, and it got pulled out of their schedule. why would he do that? i think the college board has a lot of explaining to do, and they have, they have said that they did a lot of this based upon what they heard from scholars. they did the same process that they normally do, but the real question is whether -- why did those take out things like that? bottom line, it should be taught, it should not -- we need this course taught in florida and everywhere, and we
2:14 pm
should also be working with the college board to put bad things -- those things are really important for this. >> here we are, here we are in the first week of black history month, and the week that we -- saw violence of tyre nichols, and we are debating the merit of teaching the contribution of black people to america. at the end of the day, how much is race and racism playing here? i heard you say desantis's race baiting, and you elaborate on that? >> race, and with what desantis is doing about race and sex, it's awful. it is a range. what they're doing, and what they're doing with all of these culture wars, and he's not the only one, it's that you're
2:15 pm
really trying to leave the feeder and division. what they are doing in terms of schools is that they are erasing history. they are erasing knowledge, they are attempting to erase context, the ability of school teachers and kids, young adults, and not so young adults, little kids, to be able to actually be together, be in the community, live in each other's experiences, and see each other's experiences. that is part of what we have all tried to do, whether we start from the movement, or whether we start as teachers. how do we lift up everybody's experience? so this focus on crtc, which is a study of institutional racism, just using a word like that, which is ridiculous. it essentially undermines what
2:16 pm
i taught in my classes in the 1990s. >> talk to us about your teaches. i get the sense the teachers are walking on eggshells in florida, and many other states right now. tell me how it teacher teaches about, for example, the buffalo shooting that killed ten people. if they were afraid to discuss the motives. >>e motives. >> even the teachers last week, how they deal with and teach about the video on tyre nichols death. >> they just did a study that shows the teachers all across the country are walking on
2:17 pm
eggshells. it's not even just in florida. in new york, lots of people get a walk-in by a principle, are you sure you want to teach that? what happens in one parent comes and says there is a problem. even the huge numbers of people want -- they are against book banning, and they think the teachers are doing a great job. it is a real chilling effect, what these culture wars are doing. it's a chilling effect on the teaching of current events, it is a chilling effect on the teaching of making sure that being in the classroom, making sure that kids are okay, and that kids can talk to each other about a shared experience that they have just seen, whether is the buffalo murder, or tyre nichols murder, or whether it was what happened in california, in terms of the aapi community. that is really hard right now.
2:18 pm
>> or the shootings in synagogues right now, and they are going up higher and higher. we need to deal with it. >> and let me raise one more thing, which is in the panhandle, and in duval county, all of these classroom have basically had tarp put over them. we're not allowed in florida to have the classroom libraries anymore. think about the joy, and the confidence, one of the ways that you do that is -- these culture wars are really undermining, what teachers do at creating, or attempting to create using theater, a division between teachers and kids. >> it is undermining the education of students as well, and i know they're on the 15th of february, there is a state right rally around this clergy,
2:19 pm
and teachers and others. randi weingarten, thank you for being with us, and thank you again. after again, rising up to celebrate black history month in the face of a right-wing backlash. and later, president biden's big speech at the capitol on tuesday, what will be a sneak preview for 2024 reelection campaigns. a newly energized house republican majority might make some noise on their own. , first my colleague richard lui will have the top news stories. richie? >> very good sunday afternoon to you. china's foreign ministry says the u.s. downing of china's balloon was an overreaction, and claims that china retains the right to respond further. the pentagon says that the balloon is being used for surveillance, disputing china's claim that it was a civilian aircraft are used for meteorological purposes.
2:20 pm

black history month, a vital tradition that has grown and evolved for well over a century. started in 1915, when black historian carter g woodson
2:25 pm
observed african american achievement, water being quote, overlooked, ignored, and even suppressed by the rioters of history. test books, and the teachers who use them, unquote. dr. woodson proposed a history week during february, to help with the birthdays of abraham lincoln and frederick douglass, the idea that they grew into black history month and college campuses, in the decades following the civil rights movement, black history was embraced by democrats amy and republicans alike. in 1976, president gerald ford, a republican officially recognized black history month. ten years later, another republican president ronald reagan took things a step further, signing on to a joint declaration of congress, and reagan remarked that the foremost purpose of black history month is to make all
2:26 pm
americans aware of this struggle for freedom and equal opportunity, unquote. fast forward to today, black history month is bigger and better than ever, but it's also -- there will also be those did seek to venomous and undermine the contributions of african americans. in today's republican party, they've been in bold and, and the recent debates over the teachings of african american studies in school, it is striking that conservatives object most fiercely but still lessons dealing with the black experience, in the more than six decades since the civil rights movement. black history month is not only about distant past, as important as that legacy is, it's also about how president and our future. figures like harriet tubman,
2:27 pm
sojourn, they're not just names and faces in a book. they exist in conversations with the ideas, leaders and thinkers up today. such as the movement for black lives. they intersect with the struggles of other groups seeking equity and inclusion from women,, to immigrants, to the lgbtq communities, and beyond. talking about history without the president context, it's only telling half the story. that's something that we should all rise up and resist. not only in february, but all year. we will be right back. be right back. like the subway series menu. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. free monsters, free bosses, any footlong for free! this guy loves a great offer. so let's see some hustle!

politicsnation. i want to turn to my political battle for for some analysis on today's topics. senator doug jones of alabama,
2:32 pm
and former republican representative david jolly of florida. let's start with the chinese balloon shut down yesterday, house house republicans are reportedly gearing up for investigations into what happened. is that fair, or are they playing politics with foreign policy? >> it's clearly politics. if i was the administration, i would welcome that. we're now seeing reports that the defense department is reporting to members of congress that this balloon, it's not the first building that has been there. over the united states from the trump administration, those were not shut down. a couple even earlier in the biden administration. i think it's appropriate for congress to look and see what happened, and see what this deal is. i also think it's important that we recover this information, we recover the debris from this balloon, and
2:33 pm
assess it before they give a full briefing. let's find out what that balloon was really doing as best we can, and i think we have the ability to determine that pretty quickly. >> david, republicans are blaming the biden administration for their response to the balloon. meanwhile, the defense officials said yesterday that similar chinese blinds also traveled the continental u.s., briefly at least three times during the trump administration. former president trump denies this report. let's see what senator cory booker said about this earlier on weekly play. >> it's problematic when democrats or republicans have won standard for one president, and another for another president. we should remember that this is known to have happened under the trump administration multiple times. to create another standard for biden, wherever trump it seems he allowed this to go through the united states is just a bit
2:34 pm
hypocritical. this is a time where we need to unite on both sides of the aisle, not engage in partisanship. >> why aren't democrats and republicans coming together to stand united against china? >> that's exactly right, reverend. republicans would be rise to realize this week that it's china who is our adversary, not joe biden. republicans and democrats in congress and the president are on the same team when it comes to national security, where at least they should be. i think that to senator john's point, there are hard questions to ask of the department of intense, and intelligence agencies. the senate house republicans a democrats will engage in legitimate oversight and ask for a report on exactly what happened, what are the implications for the national security? and provide context for this. is this something that routinely happens in the united states? if, so what does a compromise in terms of assets? those are legitimate national security oversight questions in
2:35 pm
the congress. what we saw this week was the reflection nature of republican politics, which is to make joe biden the adversary and overlook the real one, which is china. >> president biden will be delivering the state of the union on tuesday, at a time when democrats seem to be warming up to the idea of a reelection run. the new york times writes, quote, concerns about the presidents age, and being overcome by enthusiasm about his record so far. optimism about the gop, in the absence of better options, and quote. what message should the president be sending with this? >> he needs to be sending a message of exactly what you said, optimism and hope. the united states has been coming off of some really difficult years, with covid, the economy, inflation, and war in ukraine. now the china balloon.
2:36 pm
i think the president has to have such an amazing record to talk about in, give the american people the hope that we are coming out of all of that, and that we were looking forward to continuing job growth, continuing inflation control, and continuing to try to get health care for folks. i think he's also got to reassure, but a large swath of americans, particularly african americans that are out there, and that concerns about this reform, he's got to make sure that people understand. we are going in a direction that everybody should relax, participate, and have a lot of hope going forward. he's got that message, and i think he can deliver. >> president biden will be addressing a joint session of congress that includes the new noisy republican house majority. we all remember when president obama was heckled in south carolina, congressman joe
2:37 pm
wilson who yelled, you lie! during the 20 state of the union. do you think we could see similar outbursts this year given the political climate, and given who is in the audience for some of the far-right republicans? if we do, could it actually helped biden with voters, who in the midterms showed their high degree of the maga drama. >> i think we certainly could see this, and occasionally we have to listen to fox news, or some of our friends in conservative media. you can realize that little routinely -- and he has already declared that compromised, and if that is the vitriol within the conference, and it goes back to what senator jones was missing. the message for joe biden, and pretty clear from the state of the union all the way to
2:38 pm
november of 24, it's too broad themes. the economy, the economy, the economy is strong. jobs are strong, wages are strong. there is inflation, and the fed is trying to tackle it. the economy under joe biden and strong. second is this, joe biden represents in america for all people. as republicans can't attack joe biden on the economy, they moved to culture wars. when they do, that they marginalized communities of color. the migrant communities, and if joe biden, he doesn't even really have to convince them, just draw the contrast and be the president the represents all of america. work, move the economy along, but also create the american society where all voices are heard and lifted up. watch out republicans, if that's your joe biden, you're in trouble next year. >> david jolly, and doug jones, and thank you both very much for being with us. up, next the mayor of cleveland, ohio joins us to talk about his city's effort to reform policing while protecting its citizens. stay tuned.
2:39 pm

my inauguration, i think we've made some progress. in large part, because many of you sitting in this room. i'm very optimistic in the year ahead that we are implementing the laws that we have already passed, and delivering real benefits, with people going to feel them in their everyday lives. >> welcome back to politicsnation. on the second anniversary, biden last month address america's mayor to talk about the administration's covid relief package and infrastructure plans, which benefited the countries -- the president is likely to revisit what they can offer as the vision for more progress, even with a divided government. joining me now to talk about this is the mayor of cleveland, ohio, thank you for joining me today. >> reverend sharpton, very good
2:44 pm
to be with you. >> can you start by telling me what you would like to hear from the president on tuesday? >> reverend sharpton, i think that president biden is going to be there for the people, giving a progress report for what he's done to deliver, over 12 million jobs reported under this president. we've seen stark red legislation, like the american rescue plan, massive layoffs. we've seen the inflation reduction act, the largest federal investment to address climate change in this country, and these investments have built a strong foundation, and i believe that this president will show america that our come back -- >> mayor, i want to pivot to issues of police and policing reform. i spent part of last week in memphis, at the funeral of tyre
2:45 pm
nichols, who died after being beaten by memphis police. i know we were working with bias in policing, as they are in memphis and in many cities across the country. where do those efforts stand? >> reverend sharpton, we were trying to leave the most progressive reforms in policing in the country. we were the only city in the nation it has been under two consecutive -- two years ago, voters pass the toughest independent oversight boards in america, and we just see that commission in the last december. we're working around the clock to not only invest in our police with the biggest increase that we have seen in modern history, but we are making smart investments, leveraging the american rescue plan, -- all five of our police districts. also changing the culture, before i took office, upstairs could not have beards, tattoos,
2:46 pm
or baseball caps. we have changed that, and so in this year's budget, we are making the biggest investment to keep the community safe, while also ensuring that we can have real police accountability. until progress makes for the change on this issue, it's going to be up to america's mayor to show voters that we can get it done at the local level. >> we pay tension to cleveland, -- i know your budget estimate, more than 250, including 240 police jobs at the same time. the overall police budget was increased by $6 million, and many officers will begin raising the new union contract. can you elaborate on the tough decisions that you are having to make when it comes to the budget and law enforcement? >> when we took office, we
2:47 pm
inherited a 61 million dollar deficit. the budget that i just submitted to you, the city council last week, closes that budget and gives us roughly half a quarter of 1 million dollar surplus. in terms of the policing, we had to make smart decisions. whether it's cleveland, new york city, or dallas, texas, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. every mayor across this country is having a hard time feeling these vacant positions. we wanted to do a couple of things, number, won't be realistic with the targets about how many options you can truly hire. at the same time, paying the existing officers a lot more. in this budget, we are going to see some pay increase for officers across the state, and we are closing the gap that it takes to get those highest parts of the salary by five years. that's the big deal for the law enforcement officers, we've got a lot more work to do to make sure that we keep this city safe and secure across cleveland, ohio. >> in january, ohio governor
2:48 pm
mike twain signed a package of law changes that -- and it shortened windows at election day for returning and carrying ballots. you told cleveland's local nbc station that quote, ohio is going absolutely in the wrong direction when it comes to voting rights. what can be done on the federal level to protect voting rights for york county, as well as the rest of the nation. >> we need congress to get serious about voting rights for florida. in ohio, florida, and other states across america, you're seeing a modern-day jim crow, where they are using gerrymandering, redistricting, and progressive racist voting laws, an undermining the -- and showing up in the voting booth. we have to do everything we can in order to make sure that
2:49 pm
congress takes a serious look at voting rights reform. now, more than ever, in order to make sure that our voices are heard. reverend sharpton, as we celebrate black history month, it is so critical that we continue this fight for voting rights, because without it, the promise of the american dream -- cleveland mayor, justin, thank you for being with us. more politics nation, right after the break. and a reminder, tuesday at 8 pm eastern, rachel maddow, joy reid, and nicole wallace will lead special coverage of president biden's state of the union address. and it will offer in-depth analysis into the presidents agenda. watch the state of the union address at 8 pm eastern on msnbc, and streaming live for peacock. fo peacock. type 2 diabetes?
