"the reidout" with joy reid is up next. tonight on "the reidout" --

>> if it's someone like stephen miller, then all the stuff gets plugged right in. if it's not, we'll figure it out. if a battle plan is out there that will do what he wants, there are people like me that have his trust that will be able to get it to him. >> new undercover video shows the project 2025 author very confident that it is in fact a plan for a second trump presidency. they're just keeping it a lot quieter tromnow on. >> also tonight, joe biden and kamala harris hit the road for the first time since the big change at the top of the ticket. for a big announcement that could save you a lot of cash. >> and uncle joe feels the love. plus, jd vance's weird determined crusade against women. including his latest claim that suburban women are focused on, quote, normal things. not reproductive rights.

and we begin tonight with damning new video from a former trump cabinet member and key project 2025 architect, russell vought, who confirms what we know, that donald trump has had talked with vought about his work on project 2025, and trump gave him his blessing. >> it's interesting. he's not even opposing a particular policy. he's been on our organization, raised money for our organization. blessed it. i remember walking into our last day in office and telling him what i was going to do. he's very supportive of what we do. >> this comes from two investigative reporters with the nonprofit center for climate reporting, who secretly recorded a nearly two-hour conversation with vought who thought he was meeting with high-dollar donors which in and of itself is problematic in what it implies about the potential selling of access to an american administration. while he currently runned his

own think tank, he previously served as the policy director for the republican national convention committee and recently helped to rewrite the official party platform. and he's been a huge project 2025 promoter. publicly, trump will tell anyone who listens that he has no idea what this thing is. >> i don't know what the hell it is. it's project 2025. he's involved in project -- and then they read some of the things. and they are extreme. i mean, they're seriously extreme. but i don't know anything about it. i don't want to know anything about it. >> those denials seem real dishonest given what vought told those two reporters and given the fact that nearly 140 individuals who worked in the trump administration are affiliated with project 2025. but here's what's really concerning. the trump conservatives have a secret plan that they have intentionally been hiding, the reporters with the center for

climate reporting also spoke with another project 2025 author, and they admitted there is a secretive second phase of project 2025 that is supervised by vought. apparently, the heritage foundation has a giant policy packet filled with executive orders and agenda items that will be handed to trump administration officials on day one. >> yeah, the goal is to familiarize all the tranczyz team people with these plans. but you don't actually, like, send them to their work emails because then, you know -- >> politico has reported that vought is in close contact with trump, speaking with him once a month. and according to vought himself, he also speakwise the campaign. he also has been mentioned as a possible chief of staff in a second trump administration. if trump wins in november, what he and project 2025 fanatics

have in store is the complete upending of american society. here he is explaining what his think tank, the center for renewing america, which alongside the heritage foundation, has been at the heart of project 2025, promotes. >> the organization i helped turn to the death star that is accomplishing all the debates that you are reading about, i think you have to rehabilitate christian nationalism, the largest deportation in history, block funding for planned parenthood. i want to crush the deep state. >> when asked what would happen if people took to the streets in protest, he told the reporters that trump would deploy the military to silence the unrest. think about that for a second. these are the core philosophies of the maga republican party and it should come as no surprise that jd vance was embraced by vought given he shares the same beliefs. >> so i am very happy with the jd pick.

i think it's transformative for sure. and he's -- think of him as a member version of what we do. so there's no think tank, no policy organization, no battle plan creator other than us for the world view that i think donald trump has and that jd has. >> joining me now is david jolly, msnbc political analyst and former republican congressman who is no longer affiliated with the party. and angelo care asony, president and ceo of media matters. angelo, i want to start with you. that second clip, this is the aid to mr. vought, he said they have a second set of policy proposals and instructions that they would give to members of a second trump administration but not email then to them, the reason for that is if you emailed it to their official emails one could file a foia. the media and people like you,

sir, could potentially file freedom of information act requests and get copies of those instructions. that to me is one of the most chilling things that i heard that they have these secret plans they want to keep away from the media, for you, what's the most chilling stuff you heard? >> the fact that he's already done something like this but on a smaller scale. so in the first six months of 2021, more than 20 states have either legislation or executive orders that ban teaching critical race theory in schools. we went back and looked at those states that did that. the overwhelming majority of states that did that were based on the model language, the model legislation, and model executive orders that russell vought's new organization had drafted at the time. if you take what he did then and apply it to the conversation he just had, that's what we have been warning about. that 900-page policy book was sort of put everything on the table, all the ideas, all the things they wanted. but the 180-day agenda, the

document he reserved there, the thing he's drafting as part of this initiative is sort of the bundle of things to implement, the executive orders, the directives at the various departments. it's the step by step plan for implementing all of the extremist, all of the authoritarian parts of project 2025. because he's demonstrated the ability to do this as a small scale and they know they have to do this in the shadows is extraordinarily chilling. >> david, i think one of the points we really want to try to make to people as they think about project 2025 is that project 2025 is the nationalization of policy ideas that are already being experimented on in red states. so there's already a project 2025 operating in the state of texas where they have few abortion rights, where women have fewer rights than men, where rape victims have almost no rights, where people who are having ectopic preginacies have no rights. states like iowa, florida, idaho, are already living under

a version of this. they want to nationalize the things ron desantis, for instance, is doing, taking over businesses, suing businesses who won't comply on speech issues. taking away critical race theory, taking away affirmative action, taking away dei and turning the state essentially into white nationalist heaven or hell depending on what side you're on. they're already doing it. they want to doit on a national level. >> i think it's easy to look at project 2025 and say it's a robust contract with america, the hard right conservative wonky agenda for every department and agency in the federal government, and in some ways it includes that, but what you heard in the tapes is the admission in his words, it is also to rehabilitate christian nationalism. and if there's an ethos behind all of this, that is in some ways the most dangerous part of project 2025, because that is the culture war part of this. you can have the wonky debates about no government, less government, big government. certainly, it matters and it

impacts people. certainly, marginalized communities. but this notion that project 2025 under a trump administration would rehabilitate christian nationalism, you might as well put in the parenthetical, white christian nationalism and you get the policies you described from book burning to taking away health care decisions from families, to telling teachers what they can teach and can't teach to the war on migrant communities, communities of color, the disinfran chietment of people's vote, all of these things are an advancement of white christian nationalism and the one thing we know about donald trump is not only does he believe that, does he curry favor with that, but he sees that as a strategy for leading the country but also for winning this election. that's the danger. and honestly, that should be the motivation to beat this back at the ballot box and finally quiet these forces in american politics. >> absolutely. angelo, there's a part in this conversation he's having with these two people he thinks are donors where he talked about their massive deportation plan,

then he goes from that to saying mass deportation will help us get rid of multiculturism. we'll deport all these brown people and get rid of multiculturism and goes from there to the thing david said. he says we then need to reintroduce and sort of change the vision of -- he first says christian nationism and then nationalism. there's a direct through line in their mind to making america whiter, to taking away women's reproductive rights, to force women that are here already to have children. and getting rid of multiculturalism and adding christian nationalism. to them, they're all one policy. >> it is one policy, that's right. you look at the work he's done, he's written about this publicly, talked about this publicly. a big advocate for christian nationalism. beyond that, when you get into the mass deportation side, when you start to look at some of the stuff he's written, some of the stuff in project 2025, you find

out they want to then change the way immigration is done to essentially privilege christian immigrants. so they would make that one of the key factors for getting into the country, for allowing for immigration. so on the one hand, they're pushing out and getting rid of multiculturalism, and they're flooding the zone with white christians. that's the flip side, they have a plan on both ends of this. one of the things that disturbs me is when you think about the supreme court decision that came out that granted immunity to presidents, it reduces and gets rid of some of the friction in the system that would have made it harder for them, at least a little bit, to implement some of the extremist policies they need to execute this, using the military to sequel and suppress any protests and also simultaneously to execute and implement a lot of the deportations he's talking about. so a lot of these things became a lot more possible and real in the last few months because of the decisions the supreme court has made. >> yeah, absolutely. they're making a unitary executive, which is a long

standing conservative theory that george w. bush, for instance, used to implement incredible power from the presidency after 9/11. they believe that this president should have superpowers and so does john roberts. i want to go through kevin roberts. there are people, david, who are in this sort of world that have been trying to make this happen on smaller scales. people like your christopher rufoes of the world, stephen millers of the world. kevin roberts is one of them. he has a book out, i'm going to get back to angelo, but his book lays out a vision for the nation that's deeply enangled with the mission codified by the heritage foundation marketing as dawn's early light, with early mock-ups of the cover featuring a match stick over the word washington. it's now called dawn's early light, taking back washington to save america. he attacks fertility treatments like ivf. he describes birth control as a

technological change that made child bearing, that harms child bearing. roberts expresses similar disdain like jd vance for childless americans. he rails against public schools. he says we need to cultivate children's souls. that public schools cultivate children's souls into godless assembly lines meant to shape obedient little comrades who think morality is a construct and nature is an illusion and saying america's teachers have gone insane. he's dead set on the notion that america is due for a second revolution. you first, david, on that ethos, which jd vance supported by writing the foreword to this book and said this is a model for america. your thoughts on the fact that they're trying to take his very loopy ideas and make them into law. >> yeah, in some ways the evolution of republican ideology, from the party of less government to the party of no government, and to get to the party of no government, you have to crush it, kill it so you can rebuild it. and in rebuilding it, they

currently see today's government as this agnostic force that is perverting the american exceptionism and it needs to be restored to its christian orientation, its christian ethos. joy, this is an area that is so frustrating not just to many americans but republicans certainly like myself, former republicans. the perversion of faith in the public scare, the greatest empowerment to any faith in america would be a government that grants the most amount of freedom to practice that faith, not to dictate it from the courthouse, but to empower the church house, to evangelize their teachers. it does not say go and build state capitals. it says go and build churches. not a calling to change the government. it's a calling to change hearts and minds toward the faith you choose to practice. a government that suggests, and this goes back to the muslim ban that donald trump declared in december of 2015, a government that suggests we're going to prioritize certain faiths and institute the dock talts of

certain faiths in our government ultimately undermines that faith and undermines all faiths because it delegitimizes the practice of faith in the country. that's the perversion of faith of project 2025 and all these leaders i have donald trump's ear. >> faith that is not voluntary is not faith. it's a dictate from government. that's the opposite of faith. i'm going to give you the last word on this, angelo. you got a copy of this book. what did i miss? >> the two things i would note is one, in it, he talks about the fact having a child should not be a, quote, optional individual choice. that's one of the three lines. take away the decision from women. i think the second part, though, is the tie-in with christian nationalism. he describes national order which is natural law, but he describes the natural order as western philosophy and the american international order. that's what he says is the one thing he ties in with nature and it's time to implement that and

make that not just here, but impose that globally. it is sort of a christian nationalist vision and beyond. >> it's the handmaid's tale, if you have not read that or seen the series, that's what they're trying to do. thank you both very much. and up next, president biden and vice president harris on a very different note, make their first joint appearance since she replaced him at the top of the democratic ticket, and they made a big announcement that will impact every single american family. stay with us.

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

it may be quite an understatement when i say we're living in increasingly polarizing times. but then there are days like today where there is such positive news coming out of the white house that i think everyone can agree it's a huge win for all americans. that's because for the first time ever, the white house has been able to negotiate with big pharma to lower the prices of some of the costliest prescription drugs under medicare. by as much as 80%. we are talking about prescription drugs that target diabetes, stroke, heart disease, arthritis and many other conditions. seniors are expected to save $1.5 billion, billion with a "b" in out of pocket expenses in the first year alone. medicare is expected to save $6

billion. president joe biden and vice president kamala harris rightfully took a victory lap this afternoon in the great state of maryland. >> at this time, we finally beat big pharma. you know it isn't just about health care. it's about your dignity. it's about your dignity. it's about peace of mind. it's about security. it's about taking care of your family. >> we believe deeply every senior in our nation should be able to live with security, stability, and dignity. and so in the united states of america, no senior should have to choose between either filling their prescription or paying their rent. >> joining me now is former representative debbie powell who is running for the florida senate seat held by rick scott. the video i did not show and people should go online to see, is the love fest for president

biden that happened today in maryland. it was really heartwarming to see the two of them together, to see the kind of love that they obviously have great respect and love for one another. i want to let you comment on the state of the democratic party right now. it definitely feels like there's policy movement, but there's also incredible unity. >> sorry about that, joy. so great to be with you. look, the energy we have been feeling after vice president harris announced her candidacy is unstoppable. i have been traveling all across the state, just right here in the state of florida, we have had over 20,000 people sign up to volunteer. and we're seeing that in my race. you know, rick scott, since you're talking about the drug pricing reduction and medicare being able to negotiate, the inflation reduction act lowered and capped the cost of insulin at $35. and if you remember, rick scott voted against the inflation reduction act. it was actually 50 votes that vice president harris had to come and break so it could pass.

that is why we're now seeing medicare being able to negotiate these prices. this is so personal to us in my family. my mother lives with me and it's one of the reasons i decided to run, because rick scott wants to end medicare and social security. we have primaries coming up on tuesday, we're getting ready for the general election, if you're watching, florida, i need you to come out and vote and join me and support my campaign. we can beat rick scott and make sure we continue to support our seniors. debbieforflorida.com. >> let me play that moment, vice president harris talking about being that tiebreaking vote. >> two years ago as vice president, i was proud to cast the tiebreaking vote that sent the bill -- thank you. that gave medicare the power to negotiate and let it get to the president's desk, and i was proud when our president, joe biden, signed that bill into

law. >> there were a lot of chants of thank you joe and a lot of cheers after that. to your point, the bill passed 51-50 in the united states senate. not one republican voted for the inflation reduction act. vice president harris had to be the tiebreaking vote. meanwhile, you are facing somebody, rick scott, who not only has a history in terms of his own company committing massive medicare fraud, tricare fraud, and medicaid fraud when he was running it, which is shocking the people of florida elected him, he is somebody who now has an 11-point plan he called the 11-point plan to rescue america, which would sunset medicare, medicaid, social security, and all federal programs in every five years forcing congress to repass them. the last thing i have here is a study published wednesday by the journal of the american medical association found that more than half of older adults reported be very concerned about the cost of

medical care and prescription drugs ahead of the election. florida happens to be the state with the most seniors. this is an issue. it's hard for me to believe that this man is viable in a state with that many seniors and those kind of policies. >> joy ann, let's be real here. rick scott is actually a thief who robbed benefits from seniors living in the state of florida and then used that money to buy his seat in the senate. for him, it's all about self-gain and self-enrichment. we know he profits from big pharma. he has many, many assets. and he's been voting against the interests because he's trying to use that seat for self gain. here's the warning for america, for everyone watching tonight. rick scott wrote this 11-point plan. it's a preamble for project 2025. he's extremely aligned with the heritage foundation. he wants to be senate majority leader. he's trump's pick to be senate

majority leader. we cannot allow him to get re-elected. he has already shown us who he is. like you said, he committed medicare fraud. and he wrote this plan that would basically eliminate medicare and social security. when he was governor here in the state of florida, he refused to expand medicaid. this is life-saving care for so many seniors like my mom that are living with a fixed social security income that relied on medicare and now with the lower price of medicine, can really impact so many people's lives living here in our state. the cost of living for floridians is extremely high. and the lowering of price of all these drugs that we are now enjoying because of the administration's efforts to work in a bipartisan fashion, even though all republicans voted against it in the senate, has worked. and we need to continue to build on that progress and let me just say that 51st vote that we're going to need to pass legislation in the senate is

going to come from florida. because i intend to beat rick scott in november. we cannot allow rick scott to go back there and lead the senate and then pass project 2025. >> what i will say as a former floridian is every vote counts. rick scott won his election against astronaut bill nelson by about 10,000 votes out of literally tens of millions. eight million or so votes cast. he won by 10,000 votes. he barely won that seat. so every vote counts. people, please get out to vote in the primary and also in the general election. every vote counts. florida senate candidate, thank you very much. best of luck on the primary day. up next, the unceasing misogyny of jd vance, which is a clear preview of the republicans' ugly regressive plan to roll back women's rights and freedoms even further. stay with us.

you may not be familiar with the term called coverture, but stick with me for a moments because i'm going to explain. coverture was the law of the land in europe and america for the first three and a half centuries from colonization to

the creation of the united states. it's the reason women in the 1800s and before and we're talking white women here, not enslaved black women, had essentially no rights over their money, land, or even their own bodies. under coverture, married women were considered the property of their husbands. which meant they could not seek gainful employment or manage their assets independently. it wasn't until the women's rights movement in the mid-1800s that women began to gain financial and legal control over their lives. specifically, the passage of the married women's property act in mississippi in 1839 triggered a wave of similar legislation across the country that allowed women to regain ownership of their property. and that was all before women gained the right to vote, which didn't happen until 1920 and didn't include all women. even after that, there were still things women couldn't do without a husband or father's

permission, including buying stocks and opening a bank account. women didn't gain those rights until 1974, when president gerald ford signed the equal credit opportunity act into law. and that was nine years after the supreme court gave women the right to use contraception and one year after the supreme court decision in roe v. wade gave women the right to an abortion. a right that current supreme court majority rescinded in 2022. and apparently it's not just sam alito and his five leonard leo friends who disagree that women achieving full citizenship was a good thing. enter jd vance, who has said so many disparaging thing about women, specifically childless women, it is hard to put them all in one montage, but here is our good old college try. >> we're effectively run in this country via the democrats, via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they made so they want to make the rest of

the country miserable too. >> just to be a little stark about this, i think we have to go to war against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country. >> aoc has said basically if you look at her public remarks, it's immoral to have children because of climate change concerns. this is, let's be direct, a sociopathic attitude toward families. >> if you bought into an idea that it's liberating to leave an eight-week-old to work 90 hours a week at goldman sachs you have been had. >> when you go to polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power. you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic, than people who don't have kids. >> i mean, did anybody in the trump campaign even vet this guy? and by the way, none of this is super old. that was vance, i mean, this was vance as we played for you last night on this show, just four years ago on a right-wing podcast, denigrating in one go menopausal women, grandmothers, and indian women like his own

mother-in-law. >> they spoil them, sort of all the classic stuff that grandparents do to grandchildren, but it makes him a much better human being to have exploesher to his grandparents. the evidence of this, by the way, is super clear. >> that's the whole purpose of the post menopausal female in theory. >> when your child was born, did your in-laws and in particular, your mother-in-law, show up in some huge way? >> she lived with us for a year. so you know. >> weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an indian woman. >> and just last night, when asked by a friendly host on fox about what he would say to suburban women who are worried about abortion rights, this was vance's response. >> first of all, i don't buy that. i think most suburban women care about the normal things most americans care about. >> joining me is nyu history

professor ruth ben-ghiat. jd vance has a long obsession with childlessness, with there being a problem that enough women in america are not bearing children. talk about this obsession and how you fit that in the construct of his wider beliefs. >> yeah, this is, i mean, he is like a one-man compendium of misogynist ideas. and although it's unfortunate he's in the position of vice presidential candidate, it's useful for us to track this because he expresses these attitudes which are really at the roots of authoritarianism's war on women. i'm often asked when do the kind of charismatic demagogues and authoritarians appeal. it's often when women have made great strides in society. and my book shows case studies from after world war i, when there were tons of gender

emancipation. spain, 1930s, before the coup of franco. women had won all these economic independence for the first time, and sonno and so on. and it creates this kind of backlash. and so you get this focus obsession with women whose value has to be in their ability to bear children, to be mothers, and so there's a whole century of this, and vance is an example of this. but it goes all over the global right today in italy, she says, oh, i'm breaking the glass ceiling, but she also says my value is as a mother. so the childlessness obsession has demographic implications. it has racial implications because it's usually tied to one or more white christian babies. and it's this massive fear and dread of female autonomy, female independence, in all ways. >> yeah, to go to the piece

about it being international, in hungary, viktor orban encouraged mothers to have four or more babies. mussolini argued the italian people have a duty to produce as many children as possible. he introduced pressures to increase reproduction. a loan canceled with each new child. a man with six children was made exempt from taxation. it allowed abortion, restricted women's access to birth control. you have republicans, conservatives in red states getting rid of no-fault divorce or trying to get rid of it. then they're tying it to this other piece, immigration. here is jd vance talking about abortion and tying it to cheap labor and immigration. >> when the big corporations come against you for passive abortion restrictions, which corporations are so desperate for cheap layer, they don't want

people to parent children, she's right to say abortion restrictions are bad for business. we should be for abortion restrictions even if they are bad for business. >> and the idea being that if they can do mass deportation, they must tie it to forcing american women to bear more children so that they can be the labor. i think people don't often tie all that together, but they certainly seem to. >> yeah, and it's really good we're talking about this because mass deportation on a truly old dictator scale, they're talking about 15 million people being deported, is part of project 2025. and it's part of what trump said in his interview with "time" magazine, that they would deport 15 to 20 million people who would be undocumented immigrants, people of color, and that creates a need for more babies of the right race and the right religion. these things are always tied in history. and so even back to mussolini,

who said the cradles are empty and the cemeteries are full, and he launched a kind of white racial rescue. he was concerned about the population, he was also concerned that the wrong people were having babies and the right people, white christian italians, were not. so not only is this a very old line of thought, which leads to repression as part of authoritarian repression, but it's also part of the global right today. as you said, orban's hungary, and of course, also tied to repression of lgbtq people. because it's not enough to be a parent. you have to be a straight parent. you can't be same-sex marriage, and that's been outlawed or close to it in many countries. so it's part of a whole broad kind of design to remake the family, and when that starts to happen, you're usually in authoritarian territory. >> yeah, we have seen a lot of these leaders, molay is kind of

a similar thing in argentina. it's becoming a global kind of movement, but it always centers on needing control over women. because that is the bottom line. driving women out of the workforce, back into the home, and having them produce as many children as possible. so it's all tied to repressing women. >> it is, and that's a very good metric to track if a society is becoming more authoritarian. even the obsession with ivf, it's, again, they don't want women to be able to have the autonomy to decide when they're going to have a family. so this -- we have to take really good note of all this discourse as unpleasant as it is. >> kevin roberts in his book said having children should not be a choice made by individual women. it should be up to the state, essentially. >> up next, ilhan omar joins me in her first tv interview since

her primary victory on tuesday. stay with us.

we run the politics of joy. because we know it is joyful to fight for your neighbors. we know it is joyful to make sure everybody has access to health care. we know it is joyful to want to

live in a peaceful and equitable world. so i am incredibly, incredibly honored by this victory tonight. >> that was congresswoman ilhan omar after winning her primary race in minnesota on tuesday. while speaking to supporters, she echoed some of the themes of the harris/walz campaign. omar is a leading pro-palestinian advocate in congress and a vocal critic of israel, stance that cost two other members of the squad their seats. jamaal bowman of new york, and cori bush of missouri, lost primaries in recent weeks after pro-israel groups spent millions trying to influence those contests. voters ininfluence those contests. voters in the deep blue fifth the district are expected to vote democratic in november. many of them also get to vote for their current governor, tim walz, for vice president. joining me now is congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota.

congratulations on winning your primary, but i want to ask about the mood among members of the progressive part of the democratic caucus. you did have two members of the squad lose their seats after millions were poured into the race. in your race aipac did not directly play, but there was a whatsapp group that poured millions of dollars into your opponents effort. what you make of this ideological fight to try to oust people who call for a cease-fire and that kind of thing happening in democratic primaries? >> well, it is good to be with you, joy. i think the biggest problem with it and where it gets dangerous for democrats is this attempt to work with republicans , to work with christian nationalist, to defeat

democrats in their primaries. i think that is dangerous territory. it will disenfranchise democratic voters and create problems for all of us down the line, so we have to resist and fight against this decisive, hateful way in which people are trying to primary progressives. we also have to get rid of citizens united, because it is incredibly dangerous to have special interest groups like aipac and the nra and others working together. people who support republicans trying to defeat democrats in their own primaries and i think it is dangerous. i'm glad we were successful. this has now been the third time they have attempted to oust me and it is a vindication every single time when my constituents show up on a beautiful summer day to say we

have our congresswoman's back and we are sending her back to congress. >> you talked about joy, which is a big theme of the harris- walz campaign. not just the joyousness of their presence and being on the campaign trail, but they are also different on the very issue causing so many primaries. vice president harris is more empathetic or shows more empathy for the palestinian people, for that cause. do you feel that there is openness inside the democratic party to rashida tlaib, to you, the loan refugee member of congress who had that experience as a child. do you feel there is a welcome miss and openness to that side of the conversation inside the party? >> i want to say the politics of joy has been a theme in minnesota. my first campaigns theme was the politics of joy and i do believe that while vice

president harris has shown compassion and care, it is going to be really important for there to be a policy shift and a detailed policy shift and i hope that she, before the president leaves, i hope she does encourage him to not just call for a cease-fire, but to actually take steps. use our leverage. to stop sending these bombs that are causing death and devastation. to understand that when voters say they have a concern, that that concern is real. that we all obviously desperately want to win in november. we know we cannot afford a trump residency. it is our own communities that were impacted with the trump presidency, so we understand more than most how dangerous that could be for us, but it is

important also for the harris campaign to make the case, to win these votes, to say here is what i'm going to do to also represent you and to represent the majority of americans that are calling for a cease-fire. the majority of americans that are disgusted with the way that israel has conducted this war and the arrogance and ignorance of netanyahu and the dangerous man that he is. we have to cut ties with his administration and say no more. >> representative ilhan omar, congresswoman thanks so much and congratulations again. minnesota is showing up in this pivotal election year. thank you so much, be right back. back. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is working with a banker to budget for her birthday. you only turn 30 once.
