we had an earlier meeting where eric holder and many of our supporters but eric holder said everybody should have a plan on how they should work, and we all agree that plan should be vote early so that they cannot stand in the way of your vote being counted as cast. lie, cheat, and steal, which they are prepared to do. we -- unlike 2016, we will be vigilant, prepared and we have our plan to win, engineering back from the 77 days from today, 11 weeks, engineering back to what we have to do to win. our message is don't pay attention to what the president says. he just wants you to think your vote doesn't count but you know that it does. >> speaker, it's a pretty remarkable thing i've heard you say before but what concerns you the most right now weeks from election day when you talk about lying, cheating and stealing -- the post office is up there and we want to get that -- to that in a minute but what else concerns you about the selection -- about this election? say,er pelosi: let us just i wear my hat is the former chair of the california democratic party. grassroots organizing is wher

in may 2014, we wrote to eric holder.lizabethr with warren, we wrote to ensure there would be an opening of this case. when commerce and kennedy says i did nothing, he knows it is not true. he knows it is a falsehood. he keeps repeating it because back then i stood with him to fight to make sure that this case was opened. >> let's get this very clear. it is not my words that said you did nothing. it is mr. henry who said you did nothing. you signed a letter that my office put together after months of trying to get you on that letter. it is great that you signed it, but for those wondering the difference between myself and senator markey, this is it. when i say there is more to this job than the bills you file and the votes you cast, this is it. i pushed on the obama administration. i pushed on the authorities in new york and in washington, d.c. we filed legislation. i met with the family repeatedly. i attended their benefit almost .very year i'm still in contact with some of your senate colleagues today pushing on this ad

in may of 2014 we wrote to eric holder.n december 2014 with elizabeth warren, we also wrote to make sure there would be an opening of this case. so congressman kennedy says i did nothing he knows it's not true. he knows it is a falsehood. and he keeps repeating it because it back then i stood with him to fight to make sure that this case was opened. >> go-ahead let's get this very clear. it's not my words and said you did nothing. it is mr. henry's words it said you did nothing for you sign the letter, setter, that my office put together after months of trying to get you on that letter. notes great that you signed it. but for those out there wondering what the differences between myself and senator markey, as is literally it. when i say there's more to this job that a bill you file in a vote that you cast, this is it. because i pushed on the obama administration. a push on the authority of new york. i pushed on washington d.c. we filed legislation. i have met repeatedly with the family. i attended their benefit every year,

with the obama administration on the task force eric holder department of justice with ferguson and baltimore. and that changes only lasting and enduring. people that cared that care about communities and justice so over the last couple of years because of the bible footage. it hurt me to watch it. i don't want to have to watch things like that to watch people of color or anyone we shouldn't have black and brown bodies being murdered on video as a course of justice. but the fact that they are seeing these videos and to have these conversations, it helps to bring awareness. and to create change. into the biting campaign for the platform drafting committee i'm excited about that you have because it with a young and american leaders. i'm very excited about the work that i do and as one of the cochairs but hopefully to be a good foundational document. >> and to say what we believe on paper. >> thank you for the question. >> hello again at 2020 graduate so you mentioned earlier change take strategy and time. so i am wondering as a radical revolutionary if you ever felt you have to compro

eric holder also surprised by barr's answer there. you can hear the surprise in your voice. let's listen to what em. >> that was kind of a lay-up. i didn't understand, i'll make sure that all ballots are legally cast will be counted. i don't understand why this was a hesitance. that is what gives people pause about what role bill barr will play when it comes to trying to have a fair election. >> that was eric holder responding to whether all votes will be counted on election day. are you concerned that this administration isn't taking election interference seriously right now? >> i'm deeply concerned. at first we know he second foreign stance in the 2016 election. we know he solicited stance from the ukrainians. we know he is publicly called for others to involve themselves in our elections. when you hear the attorney general of the united states pause in response tom question, it sends shivers down my spine. the attorney general should have said immediately, it is never appropriate for the president or any candidate to accept foreign stance or shis it foreign assistance. bu

joining me now is former united states attorney general eric holder. thank you very much for being here this morning. >> well, thanks for having me. good to see you. >> so i want to play some sound from a hearing that your -- one of your successors participated in on the hill this past week. let's listen to that and i'll ask you a question on the other side. >> do you believe as the attorney general of the united states that mail-in voting will lead to massive voter fraud? >> i think there's a high risk that it will. i just state i think what is a reality which is if you have wholesale mail-in voting it substantially increases the risk of fraud. >> so former attorney general eric holder, do you believe as a former attorney general of the united states that mail-in voting will lead to massive voter fraud? >> no. it will not. and it's not a function of what i believe. it's a function of our experience with the use of mail-in voting. in oregon, other states, florida uses it very extensively and there's no indication that there is widespread voter fraud. t

you have obama and eric holder focused on it. it is important republicans focus on it.e are pleased we have have great success on the fundraising side and i believe we will have great success at the ballot box in november as well. >> thank you for joining us. >> thanks. our final guest of the morning is a chairman of the national republican congressional committee. welcome, congressman. >> [indiscernible] >> i want to get your reaction to last night. day one of the convention, some say, was dark. others counter, wait a minute, we have to make this a choice, not a referendum. what was your reaction? >> i thought it was fantastic. nikki haley was amazing. donald trump, jr. did a fantastic job. tim scott, he was something special. the only people saying it was dark are the people who oppose and do not like this president and quite frankly, do not support where we are going. associated press article this morning that we spent the night misrepresenting joe biden's positions. again, i thought it was very positive. president isle the introducing he and his administration kept

attorney general eric holder did this investigation regarding ferguson and found out there was oppressive systems in place and state attorney general has the same and we can do that where we have the jurisdiction to do so but we impress you and right now i'm prosecuting a group of police officers and can't go into the case and i don't want to impact the jury pool so i will not talk about that but i will say we do have jurisdiction in certain situations that vary from state to state and people who prosecute the law even if they are police officers and we should do so and should not not let some people be above the law or beneath the law but this is critically important to prosecute violations of lot no matter who it is. then we can advocate legislatively and very impressed with the work that is still done and javier in california and those guys have done more on use of force and the four of us is just a slice of the talent and we are just four out of 25. everybody is doing awesome things. we can advocate legislatively in nevada there doing great stuff. in illinois, james in new york right

attorney general eric holder seems to think the trump administration is acting illegally in reference to what's going on with the postal service and he tweeted today a federal law statute that reads whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail shall we fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months or both. let's get your legal questions answered with cnn legal analyst elie honig. elie, one viewer wants to know what can be done legally to stop the president's effort to deprive the u.s. postal service of funding it needs to process mail-in ballots. >> ana, this is such an important issue. we are seeing a real threat right now to the core of our democracy, the right to vote. so what can be done? first of all, let's start with congress. now, under the constitution congress controls the spending power so congress can allocate the money that the postal service needs to handle this expected influx of absentee and mail-in ballots, but the president has made very clear he intends to veto that, which

i will point out that when barack obama's attorney general eric holder called himself obama's wing manine with it. they only do this to trump officials so there is a bit of hypocrisy. i stated my opinion. >> melissa: yeah. but you don't want to join in hypocrisy just because hypocrisy is there. katie, obviously, they are trying to make the point. president trump accused of being antisemitic over and over again as ari said, if you look at the actions of what he has done he has been a true friend of israel. >> katie: true friend of israel. broader he has tried to bring peace to the middle east. they had the first peace deal since the 1990s. you know, there is a line, i guess. but to say that the positions and the diplomacyability is dipt political. we stopped that line when former secretary of state john kerry meeting with the iranians secretly and telling them to wait out president trump to get diplomacy back. there is a reason that the president is touting foreign policy through mike pompeo tonight in historic fashion and historic place. >> melissa: shannon, your take? >> shannon: you

so, at the end, couple of weeks later lacy clay, mccaskill and i met with eric holder in st. louis.u.s. attorney's office. we were given information that we had had almost professional antagonists who had come in from los angeles. the satch thing in kansas city. i -- same thing happened in kansas city. i shared with crowd and said dr. king never let a demonstration at night. they always did it in the daylight hours. i think that we have try as hard, best as we can to understand that there are legitimate protesters. we celebrate u.s. >> harris: we get that. >> and then there are the bad people. the justice department had photographs of some of the guys who had come in to ferguson. >> harris: yeah. so we -- yeah. i hear you. i mean the point you made that dr. king didn't actually do anything in the middle of the night, it was always during the daytime. that is memorable. okay. we'll move on. the trump campaign directly pitching black voters in the first night of the republican national convention. multiple speakers including the democratic georgia state lawmaker vernon jones touting t

and, again, you have people like eric holder who made statements about pernicious racism claiming thatntences than white criminal defendants for the same crime without telling people the reason for this discrepancy is the fact that the typical black criminal has a longer record than the white criminal. the democrats have been pushing this narrative for decades, and the end result is some number of people are going to be out committing violence because they buy into the b.s. lou: yeah, and the b.s. is being shoveledded everywhere and not least of those places over the airwaves where you're watching commercial from corporate america talking about black lives matter as if they were some sort of adjunct organization to the boy scouts. it is insane, what they're doing. it's a marxist organization that means to divide and to disrupt and, ultimately, devastate this nation. >> and it's getting people killed, lou, the very people that the black lives matter purports to care about are the ones that get hurt by what's called the ferguson effect. pulling back for fear of being called racist, the b

not be allowed to read i think we would've let condoleezza rice; powell run the state department, eric holderoretta lynch run the department of justice. this is such a racist country, i don't think they would've allowed the white racists who supposedly run this country to allow those black folks to run that department or let a white man govern the country from the oval office right here. there's a lot of positive in this country we need to focus on, things i didn't go well all over history but a lot of it was, most of it was fun let's keep that as part of this rather than tear the country to pieces which is what i see today. >> sandra: thank you for this discussion and your thoughts and perspective on that. great to talk with you today, thank you. the story continues next. it can plunge you into deep, dark lows. and, can leave you feeling extremely sad and disinterested. overwhelmed by bipolar depression? ask about vraylar. not all types of depression should be treated the same. vraylar effectively helps relieve all symptoms of bipolar depression... with just one pill, once a day. elderly pat

eric holder is doing the state of mississippi right now. the powers of arrested. mike sp. outraised the incumbent senator. loves to tell lynching jokes. i think that says something. first it says that it is rigged. and second, victory is possible. people are ready to disrupt all of these efforts to keep us out of the ballot box. makes it makes me nervous. i think it will be a discord in november. i don't want to be hyperbolic. when they are pulling guns on peaceful protesters. they ran a segment there are a ton of people. that he will be removed from office. when you had people like this. you are voters unconcerned about the peaceful transition of power that has kept the country functioning for so long. the greatest modern challenge to democracy what is your research that you are writing in your work tell you about the best way the multiracial folks to live in communities across the country to prepare of the possibility of there being of not living peacefully. i'm thinking about al gore and how there was a lot of evidence that there had been something happening in ohio. so

so until we actually have legislation passed that lowers that standard, as eric holder called for, we will never be able to see justice in that manner. it's the same reason that the officer who applied the chokehold to eric garner in new york city, a chokehold that had been banned since the early '90s did not face charges. we can do things like limit qualified immunity so there is a deterrent there. so these officers actually have to think before they shoot. we can have a nationalized use of force training mechanism so we know what these officers are being trained and how they are being trained. we can actually have a database for misconduct or bad officers. i don't know if any of these officers have actually been in trouble before. but we do know that derek chaufbin, for example, in what we saw in minnesota, we've seen these things happen before and so we know that officers get in trouble and then they go to cities down and get re-hired. so i can't throw my hands up and say we can't get it down to zero, i don't know what should be done. but there are solutions. i also just have to be

notion that black people are perpetual victims of police oppression and again, you have people like eric holder claiming that blacks get longer sentences than white criminal defendants do for the same crime without telling people the reason for the discrepancy is the fact that the typical black criminal has a longer typical record. they have been pushing this for decades. the end result is that some number of people will be out in the streets committing violence because they buy into the bs. lou: yeah, and the bs is being shoveled everywhere and not the least, the least of those places over the air waves where you're watching commercials from corporate america talking about black lives matter as if they were some sort of adjunct organization to the boy scouts. it is insane what they're doing. it's a marxist organization that means to divide as to disrupt and ultimately devastate this nation. >> and it's getting people killed, lou. the very people that the black lives matter purport to care about, black people are the ones that get hurt by what's called the ferguson effect where officers pull ba

eric holder is working on trying to get people engaged in efforts to have independent commissions to redistrict. there are plenty of ways you can run the computer programs that is less like something that is whitford vs. gill, the case that they refused to hear during the people rise up and ask for referendum initiatives at the beginning of the 20th century. they really asked for a redistricting commission. they can get it. yuval: the ways institutional change and help on that front, it is not all driven by gerrymandering, and the fact that the senate is as partisan as the house, i think it is driven by some very the courses in our culture and also driven by the ways in which communication has changed and the way in which we think about how politicians approach the public. a lot of members of congress understand themselves as playing a role in a partisan ecosystem that is broader than congress, and ac congress is particularly useful platform for getting a spiral cable news, talk radio, and they are satisfied when that is what congress provides them with. to get back to a sense is to

note for all of you, jonathan capehart will speak with nancy pelosi and former attorney general eric holderorrow on "a.m. joy i "starting at 10:00 eastern for you. let's go now to the 2020 veep stakes and senator kamala harris chiming in and respond to go criticism that she may be too ambitious to by joe biden's potential vice president. >> my mother, again, she had many says and one of them she told me years ago, she said, honey -- and i'm saying this to all you young leaders -- people will be fine when you take what they give you. but oh, don't take more. and so i say that to say there will be a resistance to your ambition. there will be people who say to you, you are out of your lane. >> meanwhile, as biden gets closer to name ago running mate from this very wide field right here, the "new york times" reports lobbying has certainly intensified with various groups and democratic leaders furiously working to elevate their allies and sink their enemies. joining me now, alley vitale and amy allison, president and founder of she the people. it's the veep stakes, ladies. alley, i'll start with

not only is barack obama on this, but my other former boss eric holder is all over this.eful about this is that people depend on the postal service for prescription drugs. they depend on it for their social security check, making government fail isn't the way to treat people fell. rural america depends so much on the postal service, and this president is undermining their ability to carry on life and death activities in their every day existence. and that is why there is so much energy being devoted to this. it is not going to be easy, but the number of people working on this, we are winning in court. we are organizing everywhere. we have republican governors who have said, you know, yeah, we should allow vote by mail. we are doing things that we have never done before. we're going to have drop boxes in certain places. we're going to make sure that everybody has choice. that's the key to voting. people who want to vote in person should have the right to vote in person. people who want to vote early, we should have a maximum number of early vote days so we can have social

attorney general, eric holder, did this investigation regarding ferguson and found out there was an oppressive system in place. the state attorney general, we have the same authority. we can do that where we have the jurisdiction to do so. we can prosecute. right now, i'm prosecuting a group of police officers -- i cannot go into the case, i don't want to impact the jury pool, so i'm not going to talk about it, but i will say we have the jurisdiction in certain situations which varies from state to state to prosecute people who violate the law even if they are police officers and we should do so. we should not say we are going to let some people be above the law and others be beneath the law. tos is critically important prosecute violations of law no matter who it is. then we can advocate legislatively. very impressed with the work phil has done, that javier and those guys in california have done on use of force and, by the way, the four of us are just a slice of the talent that democratic ag's have. we are just four out of 25. everyone is doing awesome things, but we can advocate legislativel
