kimberly atkins stohr and eddie glaude are back with us. point about the way that donald trump speaks about people across the board but especially women, especially the vice president, is offputting to a lot of different people, and women across the board are seeing this and they say we are not about to take this. it is something very specific about the way that he speaks about black people, kimberly, and i just, the highest ranking black person in the world right now is the vice president of the united states of america and black and south asian and i am deeply disturbed by it. it's something we all have felt, we all have witnessed in our own lives, someone suggesting that you are not qualified, they don't know nothing about you except that you are black -- >> just real quickly, they don't think she's black because everyone is tweeting, she ate black. okay. >> which is like well y'all don't know nothing about the slave trade. >> sub-saharan africa folks, -- >> but she's from oakland -- >> she's from oakland but you can also google jamaica

eddie glaude is back with his. >> it's as though that dictator on day one will look like.h the dictatorial info. set the stage for how unusual this actually is. >> it is incredibly unusual. i know if we did things like that when i was chairman, on top of the other i got, this would probably outsize most of it because the one thing the parties are very protective of is how they are perceived when they're doing things like this. they want it to be open. is a member from tennessee said, and i think i know who that is, i know that voice, it does not send the right signal going into this convention. i think that's an important feature to this whole narrative that has emerged around the gop around being a dictator on day one. we will put those processes in place and we don't want you to see us do that. that's the take away at think a lot of people are going to have. a platform as a platform. no one will lose sleep over it, but at the end of the day the platform and its development is a statement of who you are, what you stand for, and how you will leak. what say you? >> some peo

eddie glaude is professor at princeton university and an msnbc political analyst.at to have you all here. so, peter, this is a fun appearance, right, for kamala harris being with all her sisters there, but what's the latest on the little tougher job that she's got right now, vetting the potential vice presidential pick? >> reporter: i will say as we've been talking, we've been listening to kamala harris out the other ear. she just praised president biden ahead of the remarks he's going to deliver tonight. this has really been a symbiotic relationship as he has helped try to fuel her campaign as she has helped try to fuel his shaping of his legacy going forward. as it relates to the vice presidential selection process right now based on my conversations and those of my colleagues, it appears that the list includes at least five individuals who have already received vetting materials and then a couple of other individuals about whom we don't know whether they have received those materials just yet. but we are told by multiple sources that they are actively being cons

when you gotta have seafood, you gotta have red lobster. >>> claire mccaskill, eddie glaude and mikere. everyone's back. we're all hanging out. but they told me i only have time for one question. i've got to ask memoli because memoli's right here. tell me about the -- not -- i'm never asking anybody for predictions but we are about to look at these two governors in pennsylvania. one of them was on our television, our show here on "morning joe." gretchen whitmer who said i'm not in this vice presidential thing, i'm out. i pledged to my state i'm going to stay in office, serve out my term. the other is very much in it, josh shapiro very much on the front line of that. what do you think -- tell me about what you see -- one of the many things we do in a hurry, a process that would normally take a couple months, we're trying to do in a couple weeks. and eric holder's running the betting process. talk about just how the focus on that and how quickly they have to do it really in the course of this next week and what that's doing to the race to become her running mate. >> eric holder really

back with me, maya, katie, eddie glaude.the break, i teased that chief justice john roberts doesn't think the dissents are in his words, wholly proportionate to what the court ruled today. he says as for the dissents, they strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the court does today. sotomayor had a chilling dissent to where she said she worries about the fate of democracy. >> the chief would have loved unanimous decision. he was concern that had a 6-3 decision with the conservatives and majority and moderate justices were political. we have a 6-3 decision and it looks political. the lower courts refer to trump as citizen trump, making the point that a former president has no special rights. in her dissent, justice sotomayor says now we need to talk about trump. she says this decision ultimately creates absolute immunity for three reasons. she says first, the court talks about core constitutional responsibilities for which the president enjoys absolute immunity. she asked why is the court talki

. >> good morning, this is eddie glaude, good to see you.uestion, one, how will she address black men as voters, since we are talking about the poll data that shows a large percentage of black men were leaning toward donald trump, and two, what does the campaign need to do in order to get that record turnout that can literally change the electoral map? do we think we can get those numbers going back to 2008? i have never seen any poll that shows black men leaning toward donald trump. i have seen black men want their horses heard. i do understand the concern of black men, i happen to be one. so, it is important for her campaign to talk about how african americans, how black men, how americans would be empowered, how will they be included. project 2025 is the real signal here. it goes beyond, the people goes to the policy. policies we should be concerned about our, will we have an america that will recognize all of us and our uniqueness and our genius, or will we have a country that continues to authorize certain parts of the population? i thi
