and i'm glad that the black caucus, john lewis, the conscious of the congress, an inspiration to so many of us for so many years in the congress, an honor to serve with him such an inspiration to us over the year, but many members of congress especially members of the black caucus have had these bills in the works for a long time and then we have other things. heroes' act helping in terms of disparities, access to coronavirus testing, tracing, treatment. we have the under our heroes act, helping people in the communities including education and putting money in people's pockets helping people through this difficult time. so when you show figures that the american people think things are ouch control t of control i country. there are solutions. the coronavirus was very

general keith ellison and in a way that is a poignant symbol for us both of a black man and the first muslim to be elected to congress who himself was elected as a black man representing a very diverse, including majority white voter district. and so he embodies a lot of symbolism in himself, not just as a lawyer and as the head lawyer of the state that i think bears remark right now as does our present mourners in the church. and the thing about the moral arc of the universe is it doesn't bend by itself. and that's the the other lesson of martin luther king jr. and it has always been the case that we have demanded representation in the hallowed halls of congress wearing the robes of justice as well as sitting in the seats that make

what is the message to those in the black congress such as congresswoman ilhan omar who is also saying de-fund the police? >> i would say what i have always said. nobody is going to de-fund the police. we can restructure the police forces. restructure, re-imagine policing. that is what we are going to do. the fact of the matter is that police have a role to play. what we've got to do is make sure that their role is one that meets the times, one that responds to these communities that they operate in. i didn't grow up in fair the police. the young blacks fair the police. why? because we have built in a system that's responding, once again, to brown v board of education and everything that comes with it. when i was growing up, we didn't have black police. i remember when the first black policeman, one's name was gilliard. this is a structure that has been developed that we have got to deconstruct. so i wouldn't say de-fund. deconstruct our policing. >> all right, majority whip james clyburn from south carolina, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we really appreciate your time

when they sign the proposed legislation into law that sheila jackson lee and the congressional black congress has put forward, then that's when they will feel good about them doing something for george floyd, not just saying things but actually doing things to try to prevent other black people in america from being killed. we testified last week, they asked us about why we thought it was a crisis that needed congressional actions now, and i said if you don't now, there will be in 30 days another black person killed unjustifiably by police. and that was on wednesday. two days later, erin, in atlanta, georgia, on friday night, rayshard brooks was then killed and another city was on fire. we need to do something now to change the culture and the behavior of policing in america today. >> and so the only thing we heard today, philonise, was this executive order where they incentivize police departments on the use of force, want to incentivize a ban on choke holds but not ban choke holds. they say if the officer's life is in danger is the case they are allowed to use one. they have the national off

to end systemic racism and the repeated and tragic targeting of blacks by law enforcement. congress finally must act to pass a comprehensive plan to improve police-community relations, improve training, hiring of police officers and hold police accountable for misconduct and use of excessive force. we must rebuild trust between the police and the communities they serve. for those who are asking why did it take so long, the answer is we have been trying. it should not have taken so long, but if year after year too many of my colleagues have put partisanship before justice and equality. as both the house and senate are prepared to hold hearings on police reform and racial profiling issues, i want to bring to my colleagues' attention two pieces of legislation that i have followed. the end racial and religious profiling act and the law enforcement trust and integrity act. if enacted, these two bills could make an enormous difference and constitute a giant step forward in reforming police departments in america and rebuilding trust between police officers and the communities they are swo

black caucus. karen bass. as you probably know, in the congress of the united states, the black caucus is considered the conscience of the congress. and their years of history, of experience. when i say experience, i mean personal as well as legislative experience. as to how we go forward. so on monday, we'll be making our announcement as to how we go forward in this particular aspect of it. but it is about other injustices, too. it's about health disparities. it's about environmental injustice. it's about economic injustice. it's about educational injustice. so we want city this as a time where we can go forward in a very drastic way, not incrementally, but in an important way to re-dress those problems. let me leave the presentation up to the caucus. we certainly do see that this is more than one or two people acting. there's a record. and that's what i think is so important about how many people are turning out, because as important as george floyd's life is, and our hearts are broken that his life was taken, it's about a pattern of behavior. so i would use the word pattern. we'll see how the black caucus will

that is why i am so proud of the black caucus, the conscious of the congress. the work that they have been doing over time, and now are ready to come forward with legislation, whether it is to end racial profiling and a number of pieces of legislation, police brutality being part of that. --ial protest filing profiling is a universal affliction. so they will be making their recommendations and having their intohalls, and their query the responsibility of all of us to take the time to heal. their looking to them for experience and leadership in legislation. of californiar and isn varying measures deeply concerned about all of this working with our members. manyd mentis -- legislative proposals and i look to them to prioritize them. of thosehat some members want, a comprehensive justice inthers want a short. of period -- in a short period of time, and we think the american people will be well served. we hope the american -- the president of the united states will be a healer in chief, and not a fanner of the flames. yesterday we saw an unfortunate situation where

black caucus. next year will be the # 50th anniversary of the cdc. and 49 years ago, the 13 members of the cdc were leading the fight in congress to address the long-standing history of police abuse in the african-american community. in 1972, representative metcalf led the way in developing an agenda to reform policing in black communities. it is in their memory and it is on their shoulders that all of us stand today, not just the black caucus but the entire democratic caucus as we join together -- [ applause ] -- as we join together to finally bring about the change the founding members of the cbc valiantly fought for. although black americans have had to deal with police abuse, murder by police officers since policing began in the united states, it was not until the advent of the cell phone camera that the stories of police abuse were finally exposed to the world. before then, the deaths were simply disregarded, not believed, not acknowledged. but just as it took news camera coverage of the civil rights protests in the 1950s to reveal to the world the violence that was common place when african-americans attempted to exercise their constitutional rights,

also in new york, richie torres is likely to become the first openly gay black man in congress. and in deep red kentucky, we're still waiting on all the absentee ballots to be counted for progressive candidate charles booker, who currently has a slight lead over amy mcgrath in a contest that will decide who has the chance to unseat mitch mcconnell just over four months from today. joining me now is jamaal bowman, democratic candidate for congress in new york's 16th congressional district. jamaal, i said to you on "morning joe" on thursday or friday, that one of the things that was impressive by you, yes, you're progressive and part of a new wave, but you're grounded in that community. you've been the assistant principal for decades, and really built a movement from the ground up. and i think people in some circumstances may misunderstand, progressive doesn't mean you're not grounded and rooted, and just because you're progressive, you weren't born into being involved in the community yesterday. >> absolutely. just a quick correction, i was the founding principal of a public midd

black people. >> who is involved in the organization? >> we're not a membership based. we're public policy. so it's working with membersnu d congress, members of the congressional black caucus, state elected officials where there are significant percentages of black people. we do a lot of work around health and wellness.o be and with organizations and institutions that are seeking to be better about making space for black e sidpeople. >> the congressional black caucus led the effort on the house side for democrats to pols up with the justice and police act of 2020. it's going to get marked up here in less than an hour before the i thi house committee.nk what do you think of the legislation? >> i think it's incredibly important piece of legislation that is responsive to the point of which we are and the movement for radically inclusive social justice. related ar,ing conversations acknowledging violence, the violence that black people have experienced at the hands of police and other cm state sanctioned actors have been happening for as long as african-americans have been brought into thisis country as t for enslave d people. so it's

"black lives matter" is not a collection of marchers with signs or a conventional political lobby like planned parenthoodng or the nra. it is not pressuring congressh a new set of laws. "black lives matter" is far more ambitious than that.t. it is working to remake the country and then to control it. it is a political party. as of tonight, "black lives matter" may be the most single powerful political party in the united states. nobody said that out loud but politicians understand it perfectly well. if nothing else, they understand power. they can smell it at greatwe distances. that is why they are lining up to bow before "black lives matter." >> you can't really reform a department that is rotten to the root. >> we heard our people cry out, "i can't breathe." we heard our people speak out "black lives matter." >> this is a systemic problem that requires a comprehensive solution. >> what i would say is there is a legitimacy to the anger. and outrage. >> tucker: none of what you saw is a stretch for democrats. they believe long-term goals align with those with "black lives matter" and at times the group functions as an arm of the democratic party.

black caucus. we call that the conscience of the congress. the important work they are doing, have been doing overtime, and are now ready when we come forward with legislation, whether it is to end racial profiling or some of the other pieces of legislation, police brutality being part of that, but racial profiling being a universal affliction that we must be rid of. and so we will be making recommendations, they will be having their town halls, their hearings. of course, it is the responsibility of all of us to take the time to heal. but we are looking to them for their values-based experience and leadership in terms of legislation. congresswoman, madam chair has been veryrs have measured and deeply concerned about all of this, working with our members. we have many legislative proposals. i wrote to them to curate them. some of the members want to have a comprehensive bill, others a more individual approach. in a matter of just a short period of time, those decisions will be made and i think the american people will be well served. but we wi

body and that body have now finally agreed because i know congressman right, the last black person to serve in congress before the fall, godh awful fall of the backlash after reconstruction fell, he gave the statement speech where he talked about rising from one day black people will serve in this body and here we are making history the first time three african-americans have even served together, the publican and democrat we all came together rooting on this bill. there's something about us that we knew, it was something more than the legalistic issues my colleague now wants to bring up. we are a nation who knew this historic healing. if we pass this, it would not only do something substantive to make a difference on the books of the american history, it would speak volumes. to the racial pain and hurt of generations, i do not need my colleagues to tell me about one lynching in this country. i've spoken in montgomery alabama and watched african-american families weeping at the stories on pregnant women lynched inth this country and babies ripped out of them. while this body did nothing. i can hear the

you said you have support of the congress' black caucus. curious of your thoughts on the likelihood bipartisan agreement could be reached on this? where do republicans stand on this so far? >> you know, my understanding is that kevin mccarthy is saying that they would like to see something done. i believe that there are senators. i know mitt romney. we saw him marching with marchers. already see some bipartisan support. on the republican side. and in regards to that, and so absolutely. we hope we can get something done. hopefully the senate will, after we pass our bill here in the next week or so, the senate will take up a, a bill, and we can work something out in conference. i think the bill we have is the best route. i don't think there's needs to be many changes to the bill at all. this is a really good bill that would, i think, stop situations like what we're seeing in atlanta and what happened to mr. floyd, but, of course, we need the president to step up to the plate. he's still being very vague about all of this, and -- and not being

this is the largest congressional black caucus in the history of congress.e and representative congress in the history of congress. and we're in the democratic majority. and so it is during, again, this moment of inflection for our nation, and at a time of great polarization, it's an honor to be leading and to be representing the voices of many who have been ignored, left out and left behind. and i do believe that the progressive victories of jones, of bowman and booker and others is a testament to a shift occurring in the electorate. the progressive issues that are being championed, these racial justice issues, the truth-telling that is occurring is responsive to what the electorate is demanding. bold solutions. we have systemic problems which require systemic solutions and they built broad, deep and diverse coalitions. >> let me ask you about police reform because obviously democra democrats passed their version in the house of sweeping police reform. the bill went much farther than the proposal from senate republicans that mitch mcconnell tried to bring u

, there is a congress black caucus is working every day to throw up and to stop between our in appropriations, our work on the judiciary ommittee and just introduced george floyd law enforcement trust and integrity act that is going to deeply its new form into deep changes in the psyche of let me just close, we are working very hard and commentary on h.r.40 to understand that the very basis of this nation is backs of slaves as kinghat built cotton and we can't seem get rid of the covid-19 and ism, racism. i close with these words, i hope h.r.40 engage on this, reparations, which if there ever now, the catastrophic reconstructing of how are treated, ans educationally, economically and beyond. to these words from a white host on a radio show, are people supposed to be embarrassed because of how we are born, speaking to white privilege. are we embarrassed if our parents got married before we stayed together with the family through good and bad times as well. are we embarrassed because our overtime so we would have enough, are we supposed to be embarrassed that we do

now. >> so, i had congressman jim clyburn, the house majority whip and the highest ranking black person in congressunday show. i asked him about it. here's what he had to say. >> nobody is going to de-fund the police. we can restructure the police forces. restructure, re-imagine policing. that is what we are going to do. >> now, are you two agreeing or are you disagreeing here? >> i think, fundamentally, what i'm hearing rep clyburn say is that he wants to think about re-imagining law enforcement. that's what i think our movement is fundamentally saying as well. we're re-imagining public safety in this moment. what we currently have as policing does not work. we don't need to see another killing. we don't need to see another humiliating black folks in relationship to the police. what we need now is a new vision for what community safety looks like. i think people are hung up on the word "de-fund." and that's unfortunate because so many time what's we've heard over the last 25 days is black folks, black organizers, protesters saying we want more in our communities. we want a reinvestment in our comm

and members of the congressional black caucus, all members, came to congress fighting for justice and for the end of systemic racism. and to make sure this country truly became a country of liberty and justice for all. so many of the bills the congressional black caucus is introducing are bills that have been presented before and now new bills but coming together as a package. and we think this is the moment to do that. bills such as police accountability, asking for a national database, ending racial profiling. there are many, many bills that will come before the congress and now i think with the protests and with the democratic movement -- and that's what's happening in this country -- taking place, the voices of peace, the voices of reform and the voices who want to make sure that we have a justice system that's truly just, will prevail. so the judiciary committee will be meeting, the congressional black caucus is holding a variety of town meetings and we're building the support to put these bills forward. andrea, can i just mention also what the prior panel was talking about and j

and that body have now finally agreed, because i know when congressman white, the last black person to serve in congress before the fall, the god-awful fall of the backlash after reconstruction fell, he gave this famous speech where he talked about the phoenix will rise, that one day black people will serve in this body, and here we are in the senate making history, the first time three african americans have even served together, republican and democrat, and we all came together leading on kamala's bill. and there's something about us that we knew there was something more than the legalistic issues that my colleagues wants to bring up, that we are a nation that needed this historic healing. and if we pass this, it would not only do something substantive to make a difference on the books of the american federal system, but, god, it would speak volumes to the racial pain and the hurt of generations. i do not need my colleague, the senator from kentucky, to tell me about one lynching in this country. i've stood in the museum in montgomery, alabama, and watched african american families weeping at the stor

. >> it's not an unreasonable question, you're the chairwoman of the congressional black caucus and been in congress-- >> 10th year in congress. >> 10th year and also, you were the speaker of the california assembly when arnold schwarzenegger was governor, the economy had imploded. so, it's understandable that people would look to say, hey, what about the deaths. if they were to call would you-- of course i would take the call. absolutely. >> i don't know if you want me to ask. colorado congre colorado -- thank you for being with us today. >> thank you very much. >> this november we're going to take the house, hold the senate and we're going to keep the white house. >> president trump returns to the campaign trail saturday for a rally in tulsa. watch our live coverage starting at 8 p.m. eastern on c-span. on demand at c-span.org or listen on the go with the free c-span radio app. >> and the senate is about to gavel in. lawmakers are expected to continue consideration of the public lands maintenance bill. the senate limiting the debate. starting tomorrow. and a break for caucus party lunches. take yo
