good evening and welcome t politicsnation to nicely, a meeting of th

mines. right, now i am grateful for a week of perspective. one that reminded me why i d what i do. tonight, my national actio network's annual conferenc closes out here in new york. as always, i had the pleasur of hosting some of the mos influential people in th world. most of them black from cabine members to venture capitalist. but i am proud to say th keynote speech yesterday cam from the most powerful black women in the world vice president, kamala harri who covered several topics but as casualties mount from recent mass shootings, she specifically address the impac of our gun culture has had o

black immunities where gun violence is often commonplac but public sympathy is not often there. >> let's reject the fals choice that some are pushing t suggest that you are either in favor of upholding the secon amendment or you are in favo of passing reasonable gu safety laws. let us reject that false choice, we are not falling for the oke dokey. >> of course, the vice president sober message of gun contrast it with what severa republican presidentia hopefuls, including former president donald trump and vic president mike pence have been telling the crowd at the years national rifle association convention this weekend. their general message ha largely been to a ignore o condemn gun control advocate and safety measures, even most

in our eight members say the favor as casualties mount in mass shooting after mass shooting after mass shooting our nation's dueling visions o gun rights when, on stage this weekend. that is tonight on politicsnation plus all of the highlights o the conference and later, tried to do a clergy visit t wnba star, brittney griner while she was in jail in russi to pray with her it does not work out so i was so happy to have ha that prayer this past thursday at the nana convention more on the. but we start with the vice president's message to the audience and to black voters joining me now, congresswoma maryland strickland. democrat of washington state congresswoman, we appreciate

you joining us this evening on the show and on the last night of m convention here in new york, you just heard some of the vic president's message to the mostly black audience, hug turnout yesterday here in my intro, her key notes two main thoughts. the pro-base of threat of gu violence and voter suppression in america and from, that the disproportionate impact on black voters please take a listen >> let's reject the fals choice that some are pushing to suggest that you are either in favor of upholding th second amendment or you are in favor of passing reasonable gu safety laws. let us reject that false choice we are not falling for the oke dokey. >> for everyone watching please be clear, the voices of

students, parents, teachers an preachers them will not be silenced on these voices mus be heard >> congresswoman, your thought on the vice president's messag and her concerns so what was the vice president's message on gun control in my convention yesterday at the same time most of the current crop o republican seeking or expectin to seek were speaking. first i want your views on wha you heard the vice president say at the nantucket convention? >> thank you for having me o reverend sharpton. the vice president was brilliant, truthful, and passionate and she spoke the truth abou gun violence in this country there are the high-profile mas shootings that we see and then there is a gun violence that takes place every single day and she really emphasize the

fact that most people, the majority of people in americ support common sense gun laws. there is no reason for anyon to own an assault weapon who i a civilian with, that she also made a ver strong contrast between th extremist gop and what democrats are trying to do they are trying to erode our rights at every turn whether it's voting rights, whethe it's freedom of speech on th house floor of the tennessee legislature. now dealing with guns. popular opinions is on our sid as democrats, passing common sense gun legislation should not be this hard in the united states but with the republica majority in the house, it is going to be an uphill battle >> now that was a vice president's message of gun control at nan conventio yesterday, at the same tim most of the current crop o republicans seeking or expecte to seek the oval office next year were in indianapolis at

this year's nra convention including of course donald trump. prepare yourself and here it goes >> and i guarantee you that will continue to stand with th nra. >> the second amendment it shows the american people have the capacity to defend their lives fortunes and sacre honor. >> i will stand with each an every one of you in protection of what we all know is commo sense. >> i'm a concealed weapons permit holder myself my husband is a hunter >> with me at 1600 pennsylvani avenue, nobody will lay finger on your firearms. let's be very clear, the issue is not too many, guns the issu is too many thugs, hub and savage criminals on our street that's really what the issues. >> congresswoman, that was the general message from peopl looking to lead the nation this regarding what most americans, most gun owners want.

even as we endure mass shootings, almost by the week. what does that say to you as a member of congress who can potentially have t work with one of them as president? i mean most gun owners want to see background checks and they are not even calling for that. >> what you see is a party tha is completely controlled by th extremists they are controlled by fear. fear of the nra. so they are putting thei political fortunes and fear at the nra in front of the safety the safety of school children. the safety of people who wan to go warship. the safety people who want t go to the movies these mass shootings tha mentioned earlier and make a lot of news and 85% of mas shootings reverend, are done with assault weapons having a ban on assault weapon for civilians is common sens gun reform as you mentioned earlier people who support gun rights, before gun owners themselves

they understand the danger tha these weapons pose we should not have weapons o war in the hands of civilians. and watching the republicans vying for presidents and their political ambitions, being afraid of the nra and this bowing down to them is shameful it really says one thing to, m again the contrast between democrats, who are about governing, safety, putting people first and the extremist of the gop were just trying to brought on to the nra and brin out the worse than people. it is shameful reverent, i really is. >> i was hard to see tennessee state represents justin jone and justin pierson bot reinstalled, reinstated to the state legislature this week. now senate democrats led b chuck schumer and senato raphael warnock are now callin on the justice department to determine whether th republican-led tennessee house violated the federal civil rights of these two democrat

along with article four, section for the first on the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution do you agree with your senat colleagues at the doj needs to get involved here? absolutely reverend. this is well within th jurisdiction of the department of justice there was a mass shooting in tennessee and these thre members along with a lot o protesters were basicall standing up for families standing up for survivors an trying to get common sense gun laws and acted it's interesting to, rebrandin of the tennessee three, righ the to justin -- and the white woman. the two young black men were the ones who got expelled from their jobs and the only thin that really happen in this i that this whole case and the just cause of these two youn man was amplified. it was amplified globally. the microphones got a lo larger and a lot bigger becaus

of this unjust action. so, yes the doj should b investigating this because i many, ways it looks like straight-up discrimination i'll >> finally a congresswoman i want to make sure that we have time for one of the topics tha you came and that you care about and that is yo previously sponsored a bil that tackled food insecurity among our military service members. >> also you and senator warnoc both filed bills pushing for the defense department to clos the gap with u.s. troops basic housing allowances which i understand some tw thirds of our service member who don't live on the military bases rely on pay fo commercial housing now it looks like your bill is getting a bipartisan push in the house. what can you tell us >> so what i can tell you this is something that i introduced

in the last congress, bu what's different in this congress as you actually hav bipartisan and buy candidate support. just to give you som background, 70% of the peopl who served in the military d not live on base they get a housing allowance at one, time it was 100% it got reduced to 95%. that 95% of, rain actually means that some families hav to pay $200 or more out of pocket another factor i want to share with you as that 40% of th people who are enlisted in the military are people of color 20% of those who served ou african american so this is an issue of housing security, which hasn't impac on how much families have to spend on food. also it's an issue of equity if we want a strong, military, we have to make sure that we are taking care of those who serve and their families basic needs. i am really proud to say we do have bipartisan support, wit sponsorship and this is by candidate. hopefully this move forward an will affect readiness, it will

affect family stability an also just make sure they kno we are able to have those wh serve without having to worr about having their basic needs met. >> all right thank you for being with us this evening congresswoman strickland of washington's that, no earlier this week at the national convention i had chance to interview a number o cabinet members of the biden administration one of them, secretary o transportation pete buttigieg. i sat down with the secretary, and started by asking him wher our country stands in light of recent hate crimes against black and lgbtq communities. >> well i think we are at vulnerable moment fo vulnerable people. we have to concern ourselves not just with the injustic that can come to people for an institution but also the way i is randomized and the way that there have been hate crimes, the way that there have been

attacks including things tha we know that we can do something about what the polic tools we have. i know the entir administration's focus on, tha for our department things like making sure transit is safe an accessible for everyone. and that everyone is fear free as they're just going abou their day, going to work, goin to see loved ones. it's a top priority an something we are very focuse on >> the train developments that we have seen has been a majo concern to you in your department and what are we doing in government, departmen of transportation and others t really make those that are the manufacturers, the owners, and others do it as appropriate, necessary and required to make people safe that are traveling on the railway >> it starts wit accountability and norfolk southern is facing accountability, first of all because epa is holding the responsible for the cleanup fo

the mess that they made. and our department, making sur that safety rules an regulations are followed safety depends on tough rules, and strong enforcement from the moment we got, here w did things like resuming safet audits that the prio ministration that hit th brakes on. we know there can be more, w are pushing with the tools tha we have and we are urgin congress to make it possible for us to hold those rubbl companies to a higher standard these front revolt companies for us longer safe existed hav famously had a lot of cloud an a lot of abilities especiall in washington to push back o safety regulation to water dow the rules. ow is a time when th standards for these railroad companies, their accountabilit needs to get tougher and not weaker i'm encourages bipartisan bill that do this, that needs t turn into law so that we can g forward and implement that law >> has any of those on the other side of the republican

been resistant to the pressure that is needed to put on som of these companies >> oh yes we're seeing a lot o that we are seeing folks for exampl samba not all congressiona republicans say, well let' wait until all of the report in the investigations are done in the year from now then maybe we can do something our view is let's act, now i we learn more, a year from now from more research and mor analysis and more reports, gra we do more then why stop because part o what happened in east palestine, in addition to the impact on that community is at the whole country woke up to something that i think about a lot o americans realize. i think most americans realize that the romans have bee happening every single day i this country if we will do something to change, that it will start wit accountability for these companies. >> one of the big concerns a this convention that came up that you addressed, not on i that disparity and rate an road fatalities. a lot of people don' understand, even down to roa

fatalities it is not equal and it's something that yo took on at this convention and have taken on. tell us about your concerns an the steps we are taken to tr and deal with that that is a, major major problem >> it, is it something tha this is more tension which i why i'm working to bring mor attention to it. we have a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in america. we lose about 40,000 peopl every year it's a level that is comparabl to gun violence. and we see a lot of racial disparities. black and brown, americans tribal citizens and ru restaurants are much mor likely to lose their lives whether it's in a car, or as a pedestrian being hit by a car. there's a lot of reasons related to discrimination, and related to even the ways tha roads are designed and built have access to a safe street design, that as crosswalks and good lighting. who doesn't have that access that can drive disparities and we have a responsibility t

act on that the good news is, we have resources to get that done, no thanks to the infrastructure law. that president biden signe about a year and a half ag now. we are able to target th safety opportunities lik funding for safer roadwa design or something else of th committee wants to make happen we're able to direct those funds where they're most neede and we are urging communitie to continue applying we just at our first round of, grants not just for things tha are ready for construction b for communities that want to g through that exercise of planning everybody knows that corne where they're worried abou their kids being able to safel get picked up by a school bu or make their way to school, everybody knows that curve i the road that you try to avoid a nighttime concealment people you know it had a crash there. we have to, acts and d something to save lives and we have to recognize that the impacts of this have not bee equal. >> you have been able out of the infrastructure bill that president biden has signed

able to put some resources aside to address these disparities directly >> absolutely, about a billion dollars going up to a progra called safe programs and shoes for all that's just on example. we are working with communitie including communities that hav not always had the resources t successfully come to washingto and get that federal funding that's why we also launched -- call driving communities t provide the technica assistance often it's lower incom communities, communities with higher share of minorities living there that have bee less likely to have dollar even just a higher staff who know how to get those federa funds. we want to make sure that we are working with those communities on the front and s that they can succeed. >> i have to ask you thi because we have become friendl down through the last, years you went to sylvia's restaurant that was a big hit what is the future for pet buttigieg after being secretar of transportation? have you thought about it? >> right now, i am so absorbed

and seeking to do a good job and the charge that i've got there is never been a better time to work in transportation because of the funds that we have also, there is really been a shall enjoying a time. we have seen the mos disruptions coming in ou transportation system sinc 9/11 most of them partly or totally related to covid affecting everything fro container ship, supply chain to airline cancellations i have my hands full, i know the most important thing is to do a good job for the country, for the administration right now. and then we will see >> all, right thank you so muc for taking on politicsnation >> all right >> coming up in this week' gotcha, my message for the gop when it comes to gun control read the room. and later, a new report abou the state of black america warns of specific threats by right wing extremism but first my colleague richard lui with today's top new

association's annual conventio is underway in indianapolis. and just about every republica hopeful for the 2024 presidential race has made i appearance, showing thei support for a pro gun agenda in light of two mass shootings in nashville and louisville, both occurring just days befor the start of the conference an even as the nation grieves, th current crop of gop contenders fought to defend the secon amendment at all cost. claiming that new fire arm restriction would only hur law-abiding gun owners take a listen. >> we don't need gun control

we need crime control. >> i will stand with each an every one of you and protectio of what we all know as commo sense. >> i'm a concealed weapons permit holder myself, my husband is a hunter. >> as governor, i've resiste calls to take up gun control even one such a stand is superficially unpopular. >> these republicans have made it clear that they are, ther is not a single 2024 candidate currently, who is moderate o gun control. nor is there likely to be one. in fact the one common solutio among them is to plague our gu violence was to arm even mor people i find this ironic seeing as there were actually more restrictions around guns because former president trump was at the convention to speak more restrictions on what they

what many of these 2024 hopefu say they support here's what the former guy had to say >> with me at 1600 pennsylvani avenue, nobody will lay finger on your firearms. let's be very clear, the issue is not too many guns, the issu is too many thugs, hello ms. and savage criminals on ou street that is really what the issu is >> perhaps the nra's brand has been diminished over the years but none of the republican white house hopefuls would mis the chance this weekend to speak to its crowd even if remotely that factor alone speaks to th nra's continued grip on th gop. but maybe, just maybe on should not expect a moderate message from the conferenc offering seminars like the dangers of gun freeze and th unintended consequences of gun

control. and bulletproof mines for arme citizens no as usual, this year's convention was about the gospe of the gun every big name republica currently running for presiden came out and evangelized a expected remember that, the next time they offer thoughts and prayer after mass shootings instead of the most basic, common sense gun restriction supported by the majority of this country and are a members included i got you. u're kelly clarkson? yes. and you're in our bed? yes. what about five star dining sets? sorry i didn't have a reservation. you're kelly clarkson. i love your work. thank you. find just what you need at wayfair! even a personal sauna. oh! can we do the wayfair song?

project. daniel, today women and health care providers across th country will still be able t access a common abortion drug. after the supreme court blocke restrictions on the pill preserving access to at leas wednesday as it reviews a lowe courts ruling in texas what is your read on the hig court's decision to put a paus on this? how optimistic are you t justices, that will ultimately ruled to maintain access to th specific abortion pill >> i mean robbery, and this is the same supreme court tha voted to overturn roe v. wad in the first place i'm not particularly optimisti about the decision that they will make. i think what they're looking a is whether or not this is decision that should be having implications nationwide whic it will. this is not just a decision ou of texas by a texas judge. this is something that wil affect women and people with uterus as across the country so you know this is the suprem

court being weaponized by a fa right-wing agenda. >> reed, the abortion story is also political as the suprem court is deciding its most important case about access to reproductive health care whe since the conservative majorit overturned roe v. wade las june there is fallout happening now after florida governor, ro desantis signed a new la banning most abortions after six weeks in his state this is the first time desanti has moved to the right o donald trump how risky is this move especially if he plans to ru for president? >> well reverend, i think it's incredibly risky in fact your point about the follow-up, we are alread seeing get a story out of the financial times today, that major republican donor so that he and a number of his friends have about their support for desantis on hold as we understand, it these sam donors told desantis last week

if you signed this, think we are out. we are taking our money and we will look elsewhere. i think also what we saw wit dobbs excuse me, last year i that not only with gen z voters, young voters but also with female voters across bot parties and demographics raised, geography this is a terrible terrible issue for republicans now and whether or not it's th judge in texas or now ro desantis, you are seeing that lot of otherwise republica women, right independent right women in the souther reverend who might others won' -- go near these guys now because they see it as just somethin that is so radical, they can't have anything to do with it. >> reed, sticking with you let's switch gears to the nr convention going on now in indianapolis gop hopefuls are embracing pro gun policies despite public outrage ove recent mass shootings an louisville and nashville the strong support for a les

gun restrictions may play well for the base but how will it impact a gop nominee and the general election >> well i think reverend taking a look at what is happening in michigan in the last week in leadership of governor whitmer up there, the just passed the biggest gu measure in decades i believe i the state in polling previou to his passage had it at about 90% approval this is another example just like with desantis and the six-week abortion ban, where now the republican party being let around by the nose by maga is so far out of step with mos americans, i think it makes it very difficult for them to com back to the middle somehow because the base won't allow it remember these people reverend, they are not conservatives, they're not republicans, they ar denialist. it on care who wins so long as they are pure. what i will also say is ther are people like me who hav school age children, i used to be a republican and i am not anymore who are saying wait,

this is not about guns this is about whether not when i put my kids on the bus in th morning, do i have confidenc that they will come home tha night? that is not anything as yo know a parent wants to have to think about. >> danielle, what is you reaction to the nra's continue stronghold on the republican party? i mean what will it take for more substantive gun regulatio to be passed in this country >> i mean i think the fact they're holding this conferenc in general, just a couple of weeks after two back-to-back mass shootings is disgusting i think the fact that we hav republican candidates fo office that are there that are pledging their support regardless of what i happening. i mean children are bein killed in their classroom right? children are dying, and this republican party does not care so long as they are not embryo anymore, they could care less. i think that we are in a ver dangerous place and i don' know what it will take for the republican party, if it's no

children dying in thei classrooms to do something >> danielle moodie and ree galen, thank you both for bein on tonight coming up, the state of blac america is seen by a colleague and the fight for civil rights (wheezing) asthma isn't pretty. it's the moment when you realize that a good day... is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone. when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid, like in trelegy, there is not a significant increased risk of these events.

do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ♪ what a wonderful world. ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for asthma - because breathing should be beautiful.

action networks conference coincided this week with the release of the national urba league's annual state of black america report the organization's conferenc of look at several factors impacting black life i america. not least of which being our national politics. with this year's repor specifically concerned about the rise of right wing extremism in our streets and our state. houses and a state how this is and the political impact ahead of next year's general election joining me now is mark morial, ceo of the national urba league reverend mark, thank you for joining us tonight and for joining us at the na conference earlier this. week and this morning, i was happy to see the urban leagu released this report of in tim

photo conference because i reemphasize so much of what we have heard at the conference this year's report specificall looking at the rise of white supremacists and far-right violence taking data from th southern poverty law center, the anti-defamation league, th california state university to paint a picture of rising hate crimes of 44% increase in 2021 along with 22% dip in hate crime reporting violent forsma agencies and that same period. can you tell me in your view if and where the responses i lacking from in the bide administration >> let me first of all rubber, and thank you for having m today. i also want to congratulate yo on an excellent substantive, energetic, nan convention in new york city.

i was proud to be a part o this morning's panel and to be with you several times throughout the week. at present, at present the important part of this repor is that this extremism, this hate, these hate crimes, thi white supremacy as a philosoph is now impacting public policy and legislativ decision-making. the best, most recent exampl is what we saw in tennessee. we are two black legislators who simply stood up, for six people who lost their lives to gun violence to demand that th tennessee legislature passed sensible gun safety reform were expelled and of course, because of the pressure quickl reinstated look at that as just a another example of how hate, extremism and white supremacy is animating and energizing

certain elected officeholder and this country 900, 900 proposes to suppres black history, to surprise and censor books over 500 proposals to if you will suppress the vote and states across the nation simply since 2020. you and i stood together wit the president and with his administration last fall wit the united we stand summit that was one thing that we called for, post the tragedy i buffalo. but more must be done. we cannot see this simply as a show, it is not show it is not something to observe this is something that i seeping into the political dna and too many states across the nation we need courageous, resistance on a political level and als on avery essence o

american democracy >> you know, the report goes o to your attention to a concern that i have long addressed o the show the extent to which whit supremacy and extremis elements have either infiltrated or established tie with members of the la enforcement and military you make the historical link i the report that countries have literally been destabilized by extremist groups overthrowin elected governments. how close are we here in the u.s. would you say and one o the size we need to look for >> remember that there wer members of law enforcement involved and the january six insurrection remember that historically that client and his member infiltrated police, sheriffs and prosecutors offices in the

south and the early 20th century. and also, remember this fact that the fbi has warned that extremist elements are seeking to infiltrate and ge themselves higher as polic departments and sheriffs departments members all across the nation so this is a call to action an a warning that this movement o hate and extremism is not only threatening, it is als infiltrating legitimat institutions in american life. and that 24 century, we have t stand up to it and america democracy. it risks being destabilized an replaced by an authoritarian and totalitarian approach. >> tomorrow on politicsnation, the show tomorrow night we wil have the chance to hear from civil rights icon andrew yan who is also a former congres

about all medicines you take including herbal supplements, because lab tests or changing the dose of your medicines may be needed. tell your doctor if you have any serious illness, allergies, liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or use birth control. paxlovid may affect how your birth control works. don't take paxlovid if you're allergic to nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, or any of its ingredients. serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and issues with hiv medicines. other side effects include altered taste, diarrhea, high blood pressure, muscle aches, abdominal pain, nausea, and feeling unwell. with my asthma, i knew it could be riskier. if it's covid, paxlovid. ask your doctor or pharmacist if paxlovid is right for you. ♪ ♪ ♪♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪♪ so... i know you and george were struggling
