let bakari finish and then i'll let you respond. what were you going to say, bakari? >> look, people want to find any way that they can take a dig at this vice president. and she's withstood it. and they've only been in office for 13 months. she'll be just fine. but she ain't going to be on the supreme court. >> go ahead, scott. >> i agree with bakari, they're not going to put her on. but i did marvel today at the fact there were more than i ahandful of democrats and more than a handful of reporters who were begging for the idea that kamala harris would be appointed or put on the list. and i assumed it was because they believe she's a political liability to biden and they want him to choose someone else. so i agree with bakari, she's not going on, but make no mistake, this whole theory was floated today by people who think biden would be better off if he had a different running mate. >> all right. thank you all. i appreciate it. he's got the most popular podcast in the world. but when the conversation turned to race the other day, well, what was said on joe rogan's po

joining me now, cnn political commentators alice stewart and bakari sellers. bakari is the author of a new chu children's book, "who are your peo people?" hello to both of you. alice, let's talk about ted cruz. i understand that you have some news for us. you spoke to senator cruz about that disaster of an interview. what did you learn about this debacle? >> well, first off, don, i expressed to him that he should have just left well enough said. what he said initially in his comments before the hearing, thanking the capitol police for their work, was the right thing to say, that attacking a police officer is wrong and it is an act of domestic terrorism, and violence is wrong. peaceful protest is right. that comment and those comments should have stayed. and going on with tucker carlson, i think took a lot of what he did say out of context. what he said and the way he explained to me was what he had explain the to tucker carlson was reiterating what he said, is that violence against police officers are wrong. and when he went on to say that he stumbled and didn

bakari, bakari, this is important. the author of a new children's book "who are your people?"ng to talk to you about that in a minute. that's what my dad did every time we brought someone over, he would say and who are your people? chances are, he knew the people's people. i digress. i understand you have news for us. you spoke to senator cruz about the disaster of an interview. what did you learn about this deb debacle? >> first off, don, i expressed to him that he should have just left well enough said. what he said initially in his comments before the hearing thanking the capitol police for their work was the right thing to say. that attacking a police officer is wrong and it is an act of domestic terrorism and violence is wrong and peaceful protest is right. that comment and those comments should have stayed and going on with tucker carlson i think took a lot of what he did say out of context. what he said and the way he explained to me was what he explained to tucker carlson was reiterating what he said is that violence against police officers are wrong. and when he went

i read a lot of kids books, bakari. this one is so special.. it is an incredibly beautiful message and also the illustrations. tell us about this "who are your people"? >> reporter: the first thing they ask in the south, who are your people. that's how they get to know you. what stock you come from, where are you from. and so i wanted to write a book where my kids and kids around the country could see themselves in it. i wanted them to be able to see that level of representation. and i wanted them to be proud of where they come from. and i wanted them to be proud of who their people are. and so during this time where we're having these very tough conversations about race and other things, i think this is a book that teaches empathy and pride. and i've been a -- i've written a book before, but i am most excited about this project i'm working on right now. >> i don't want to give away the ending, but i'm going to give away the ending, bakari. i really did love this. on the last page you ask, so, what will you dream and how will you change the wo

bakari, first to you.s a democrat, to hear swroeb say i didn't create this breach but i will stand in the breach, how important was that for democrats to hear? >> it was huge. he was forceful. he was clear. it was a good moment. it was a good speech. it was sobering. and it's what joe biden does best when he's talking about the soul of our nation, when he talks about the value of democracy. what has to happen next, though, is what a lot of democrats are thirsting for. it's the accountability for those individuals who financed this insurrection. it's the accountability for those members of congress who helped foster this environment, who helped participate in this insurrection. so i know merrick garland is doing his job. he's doing it with pwhreub speed is probably the best way to describe it. while joe biden's speech yesterday hit all the right notes, a lot of democrats, independents and republicans alike are still waiting to make sure we have that accountability so this doesn't happen again. oh, and, john

bakari, you say this should happen every 30 days whax does the party now do this with energy? because it is not going to happen every 30 days we know. what does the wouse -- does the white house do, we hear the marching and the passion from la to bea. >> let's be honest. because we've had a lot of people in our party that want to preserve the status quo, saying why are you giving the president and the vice president so much hell and the reason being is because this issue matters that much. and then they ask, okay, he finally used his bully pulpit, he being the president of the united states, what more do you want him to do. i want to challenge the department of justice to do things that they are already doing and doing more. going to the states that are passing regressive laws and be a fence post, challenge those laws continuously. let's utilize this executive action and see what president can do along the lines of voting rights while we're fighting this battle in congress. and last but not least, my father told me this the other day, while we have all of this energy, we need

but at the same time, they'll be hearing from individuals like president biden and bakari. >> that'sht. look, what biden did was kind of dipped his toe in the water or thought he was dipping his toe in the water on getting rid of the filibuster as he put it for this. this was a big step for biden who has been in favor of the filibuster as you know. senator for 36 years. always supported it. thought it worked pretty well. talked about now how the senate is effectively a failure. and so what democrats are saying is, if you're not going to do it to preserve democracy, when are you going to do it? and that is why you saw the president in this speech talk about january 6th and how that failed and how, as the former president failed, and tying it to voting rights because that is another part of preserving democracy. and so i think their answer would be, what's more important than preserving our democratic system? >> so ramesh, on the other side of the aisle, republicans -- let's take the state of texas which passed one of these controversial election reform bills. making it tougher to vote

ghana and morocco but comoros defender said bakari believes they deserve their place.der said bakari believes they deserve their place. for us that is not a shock because we know what we can do but we have respect for the other teams because we are new in the competition but we don't come as a new team, we come as a team like other teams, so we believe in our team, we have confidence in our football and we are going to play like every team, we are going to play to win. five supporters have been arrested for incidents during crystal palace's 2—1 win at millwall in the fa cup on saturday. the fa are investigating after both sets of fans threw flares onto the pitch and a bottle struck the palace midfielder michael olise. cctv images have been sent to the police and one palace fan has been arrested. in addition, one millwall supporter was arrested for alleged discriminatory abuse, two for assaulting stewards, and anotherfor a pitch incursion. millwall have said they will issue life bans for anyone found guilty of discriminatory abuse. that's all the sport for now. you can

joining us to discuss all of it, two cnn political commentators, bakari sellers, author of the reallyren's book "who are your people?" also, scott jennings, former special assistant to president george w. bush. scott, i want to play something former-president trump said at a rally in september 2020 about nominating a woman to fill justice ruth bader ginsburg's seat on the court. >> it will be a woman. a very talented, very brilliant woman. who i excehaven't chosen yet bu have numerous women on the list. >> so, what is the difference between that and what biden said? >> no difference. but i happen to agree with professor turley in his op-ed you referenced. i think biden is actually doing a disservice to whoever he picks because the list i have seen is full of highly qualified, highly experienced people who could stand on their own without biden having backed into this the way he did but i have to tell you i don't think republicans should focus on this. what they really ought to focus on is having full hearts. my heart is full that an african-american woman is gonna be on the supreme co

i want to bring in now cnn political commentator bakari sellers and charlie dent.ait to have this conversation. bakari, president biden defending his first year in office despite coming up short on some big promises. does it feel like we are seeing biden grapple with a political climate that is changing -- look, quite frankly, do you think finally he is starting to realize, hey, man, they don't want to work with you? >> you know, it's -- i am hard pressed to believe that the vice president for barack obama, you know, was somewhat naive in taking office believing that he was going to have this new brand of republican work with him. the obstruction that barack obama saw was unlike anything we've seen in american history. that still exists today. especially when you are talking about things like voting rights and you have 16 or so republicans who voted to reauthorize the voting rights act but won't come out of the shadows to do it today. one of the things that this president has done and you have to give him credit for is the covid relief package that he did in a bipa

decided to stop trying to prevent minorities from making high federal office in this country. >> bakariou to respond to that. keep in mind former gop south carolina governor nikki haley tweeted would be nice if he chose someone best qualified without a race, gender, litmus test. >> my republican colleagues respectfully are just full of it tonight. i'm actually glad that scott's heart is full. it warms me to hear him say that. however, turley's reasoning was rooted in a white male privilege that many times you don't acknowledge you have. before thurgood marshall, it was a given that every justice nominated to the supreme court was going to be a white male. do we look back at that asization that -- that is some affirmative action. the fact is you played that trump clip, but the republican savior ronald reagan said he was going to appoint a woman to the bench. now we have joe biden saying -- let me just clarify joe biden's record for scott and others. he's actually appointed the most diverse federal judges this country has ever seen, included in that has been the most african-american wome

bakari, thank you. sorry our segment was short tonight. thank you so much.atulations on the book. best of luck. i'll see you soon. >> thank you, brother. >> don't have a rap sheet now. we'll be right back. works on that too, and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?! who studies that long? mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs. tony here from creditrepair.com taking to the streets to talk about credit. can you repair your credit yourself? yes. -great. how? uhhh... how long does credit repair take? i don't know, like 10 years. what? are you insane? what's a good credit score? go. 600. maybe if you're trying to pay thousands extra in interest rates. cut the confusion, get started with a free credit evaluation at creditrepair.com. when they're sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. wherever they rest protection nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect. blendjet's holiday sale is on now for the #1 gift this holiday season, the blendjet 2 portable blend

it was clear. >> and bakari sellers, we had reporting from jamie gangel a few minutes ago saying that there are republicans on capitol hill who think that kevin mccarthy's decision to pull all of the republicans that he wanted to put on the committee, to pull them off entirely, that that was unwise. he did that because nancy pelosi didn't want to put two of them on the committee. one of them, jim jordan, is probably going to be a witness. and anyway, there are a lot of republicans who think that was really unwise because you mccarthy has no visible hit into what's going on. he doesn't have any allies to push back or leak and keep him informed as to what's going on. >> as much as i talked about the messaging of the democrats and liz cheney coming out of this committee, the fact is, there's no messaging that will have any credibility pushing back against them. and a lot of times you know this better than i, jake, you have minority reports developed from these committees. in this case you'll not have that. again, it goes to the fact that we know that nancy pelosi versus kevin mccarthy is

today particularly on the bakari it would appear that this is an all-out attempt to eradicate and to kill. i have met with many leaders in nigeria including a little while ago today who say if a phonecall or message goes out theyo send the police to try to intervene. the there's a place at the militaries military's a no show. just two kilometers away from attack by the kobani with the nigerian army and they refuse to come. so people and women were slaughtered and people came in on motorbikes for a very fast type attack particular have their churches. also in town. the church of the brethren has seen something on the order of 48,000 people over the last 10 years. when you add it all up i see no difference frankly between call on ian boko haram and maybe you could speak to that, both of our witnesses. even when the aircraft that we use to counter aircraft aircraft and there are three instances where civilians were killed or are we sure that this was a mistake or were these individuals targeted? and they also go after shia muslims. there is animosity if you will towards people of for pe

thank you, dean, bakari. y'all are great. have a great weekend. buy bakari's book for your kids. that's "the reidout" out. "all in with chris hayes" starts now. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> we have been already stationed outside d.c. as a nuclear option and in case the attempt to remove the president illegally, we will step in and stop it. >> the oath keepers leader appears in court, the shocking case already in public view. >> they were quite fixated on the idea that trump was going to activate them as militia. >> as roger stone's insurrection day bodyguard is charge, how far up does the seditious conspiracy go? >>> and how to make a seditious conspiracy case by way of the last major attack at the capitol. >> in washington, d.c., ruthless fanatic violence erupted in the halls of congress. >>> plus, as baltimore officials face perjury charges. >> is there a reason this guy hasn't been charged yet? >>> and mark elias on a surprise court victory for democrats.

here is cnn bakari sellers, listen to what he has to say. >> i believe it is time for new leadership,ut the democratic party. we have to get younger, be more vibrant and have bigger and older idea to bring in new generation of voters. whether you are nancy pelosi or tom brady, have you to hangup the cleat when is it comes to being leader of your testimony party or organization. >> carley: joe, does that comment show divide within the democratic party? >> joe: completely. sellers is probably 40 years younger than nancy pelosi and people don't want to see the same old leadership. stop with the pelosi brady comparisons, brady won seven super bowls, history of winning coconsistent basis, tell me how many nancy pelosi has had lately? >> todd: nobody likes this other than nancy pelosi. something everybody loves is ice cream. >> carley: i love ice cream. >> todd: some too much and shows how out of touch they are. joe biden grabbing ice cream to highlight economic growth. isn't this complete failure to read the room? people are struggling to put nutritional food on their table to feed their f

in a tough group, which also includes former winners ghana and morocco but comoros defender said bakari caught coronavirus apart from one person who seems to be immune to it. there are a lot of reasons why that might happen, that person could potentially have been exposed in the past two covid and built up protection that way so it could just be luck but one thing said by scientists is if you have been exposed another virus in the coronavirus family, not covid, could you build up some that way? there are seven coronaviruses and four of them are connected to the common cold. this is not covid, this is a related virus. the theory is if you have been x paused to one of those —— exposed to one of those called viruses, could it give you protection against covid? they took 52, half of the people and households of those 52 managed to contract covid and half didn�*t. they looked at the half that did not and they had the much higher levels of t cells, memory immunity cells linked to previous exposures to common colds and coronaviruses. the conclusion they have come to is that it looks like if yo
