. >> i remember we had the george floyd protests after he was killed by police.d the family is and i rejected it. these people led to the death of police men. to say that legal, different strokes for different folks, you can use political violence in some instances if it is to my liking. remember what donald trump said about george floyd? if the looting starts, the shooting starts. where are we trying to find lockyer? >> we need to get our next guest but there needs to be more discussion as to why this, among many things including the nominees he's looking at the head of his cabinet editions, is actually not in donald trump's best interest and we will get to that but it does not end well for everybody ultimately. >> that's right. >> some of trump's allies are desperately urging him to turn the page on the 2020 election and leave january 6th behind. he won't and keeps resurfacing it. someone we want to talk to about the anniversary, retired capitol police officer harry dunn. he joined us now. thank you so much for being with us. i want to get to your thoughts toda

george floyd, forget, you know, we're not going to pay attention. and so, you know, on the opposite side of that is the kneeling issue, right here are these veterans who. yeah, i get that you want to make a statement, but what you're communicating to us is that that flag doesn't matter. and, oh, by the way, you're african-american who got killed was it was draped over his coffin, too. right. in fact, i think one of the first medal of honor winners was an african american who reached to hold the flag up right. because the flag bearer had been shot and he was wounded in the arm, in the leg and gets the medal of honor winner for holding that flag high. and so here we are with our feelings and so let's just talk about it, just dialog about it. say know this is what i when i hear you say that this is what i'm hearing you say, oh, no, that's not what i like, just like a marriage. but those are the kind of conversations that are very, very difficult to have. but we got to handle it. you know, we got to have them. so i do feel obligated to say here that, yo

we know that donald trump wanted to use the military to quash protests after george floyd in 2020. we know that there's a potential that some people around trump have talked about using the u.s. military in the mass deportation plans that they have. these are very substantive questions about what the makeup and mission and nature of the united states military is, which is an apolitical institution that is supposed to serve all americans and abide by the law. that, to me, is the real story of what is happening here with this nomination and seemingly imminent confirmation. and i think that's what we have to be focused on. >> yeah, i think what needs to happen is the linkage between pete hegseth past and what it could portend for his future. and yes, both are very alarming. ben rhodes, an excellent op ed in the new york times. thank you for your time tonight, my friend. >> thanks, alex. >> we have much more to get to tonight, including republicans playing politics with disaster aid as the southern california fires continue to rage. but first, how many of you have ever shown up to work

i think a lot of this started after george floyd and then accelerated, you know, maybe over the course of the biden administration. but the administration has changed. now, companies don't like being in the spotlight under criticism. you know, they know what happened with bud light, the big, you know, controversy that happened there when bud light sponsored a transgender influencer and that blew up, led to a huge boycott of bud light products. so i think companies are trying to avoid that sort of thing happening again. >> and, nathan, are these companies essentially buckling to pressure on social media, people posting nasty tweets and so on? i mean, is that is that basically it in some ways, they're actually trying to get ahead of the pressure, you know, because robby starbuck has been threatening to launch these sort of social media campaigns, and the threat alone has been enough to stop a lot of these companies from continuing with their dei campaigns. >> and so, you know, there's not really a groundswell necessarily, but a lot of them, i think, see safety in numbers as more companie

impacting black americans from criminal justice reform, which, of course, many are thinking about the george floydoncern for them, and particularly dei initiatives, which we are seeing roll back across the country. >> but it's very interesting because when i was speaking with members and they pointed out, you know, the republicans don't have as large of a majority as they would like to think. they said. >> and so at some point, at some point, they said they are going to need one of us to vote for something for them. >> we will then have them in our pocket to be able to do something for us. >> is there any something that they've actually detailed? >> is it taxes? >> is it something on any, any of the other immigration? is there potential commonality there, any of the other priorities? i think they're probably going to be looking toward those taxes and businesses. >> and how is that going to work out? >> and then probably how then do we maintain that dei initiative, you know, programs, all of those things in order to get republicans the legislation that they want on those taxes and businesses, they
