democratic new york congressmember jamaal bowman tweeted, "the senate continues to be behind the timesneteenth has been a holiday for well over 100 years. let's bring the senate into modern times and get unanimous consent on abolishing the jim crow filibuster." in texas, republican governor greg abbott has signed a controversial bill into law that prohibits educators from teaching about the history and social impacts of systemic racism in the united states. it also bans teaching of the 1619 project, in which the creator was awarded a poet surprise. texas joins several other states, including arkansas and north carolina, that have passed legislation banning the teaching of critical race theory since the police murder of george floyd last year. teachers across the country have been processed -- protesting the enactment of such legislation, which i compare to jim crow laws. democratic house members cori bush and bonnie watson coleman introduced a bill tuesday that would decriminalize all drug possession and put in place a "health centered approach." missouri congressmember bush said, "it'

rose, and jamaal kingsboro, were arrested for the shocking midday execution of 34-year-old tony. at no protest, no marches, no celebrity demands for justice for these victims. and if you refuse to submit to what their thought process is about why crime is exploding, what are they going to do? they're going to try to run you over. just like they did to those parents in loudoun county, virginia, last night. [boos] >> [indiscernible]. >> coward! >> coward! >> laura: i know another place where they take a similar approach to dissenting views. i think when you really think about it, china actually has to love critical race theory. in fact, they humiliated biden's secretary of state in alaska last month when china ended up parroting back to him the democrats go to lines about america's problem with systemic racism. so they were all probably elated over there in beijing to hear that biden's chairman of the joint chief defended it on capitol hill today. >> first of all, on the issue of critical race theory, et cetera. i do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be

here is freshman congressman jamaal bowman. >> it's the no start. if we deliver, we maintain powe in 2020 to b or eight if we don't, then we show the inability to deliver, we risk losing power and risk this moment in american history to really push a progressively democratic agenda. >> don king is like let's move onto the next guest. >> anna, after they said penetration in the end zone, by the way, that inappropriate jok i may on television, scratch it. >> believe i never said to pray treated like any other joy beha joke. >> talk about a super tuesday, america. finally caitlyn jenner is on th show. great to see her. she was here all day, we had a great time at the park today. ♪ ♪ >> we always always have fun, unlike jimmy kimmel, boy, what sad slide he has been on. it reminds me of his readings. they are lower then joy it read iq. if you told my ten -year-old self that i would have caitlyn jenner on my talkshow, i would be like i have a talk show? and who is caitlyn jenner? then i would tell my ten -year-old self who caitlyn jenner is and i would be

. >> ben: speaking of bad optics, freshman jamaal bowman is a vocal proponent of defunding the policee's the thing according to "the new york post," a champion of defunding cops claims policing is rife with white supremacy asked for and received a special police detail to guard his home. over and over again, we see this thing where it's police for meat but not for. i am the important one who needs to be protected. if you pollute your sewer, if they damage of property, well, that is over the course of systemic racism. that's just a drop in the bucket. >> that's a foundational -- the architects of this chaos are never subject to the consequences of their ideology. remember john kerry said i can't operate if i don't have a carbon spewing private jet. how could i win the battle of green. i have to move my yacht over to rhode island. i should have to pay taxes. that's the way they feel, the platonic guardian that to be exempted so they can help the poor people like us. >> ben: it's nancy pelosi saying i need my haircut i have to go on tv. victor, thank you so much for joining us. speaking

. >> joining me now is democrat jamaal bowman of new york. manchin is a no to doing anything to end the filibuster. he put it in writing. your reaction. >> joe manchin has become the new mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell during obama's presidency said he would do everything in his power to stop obama. he's also repeated that now during the biden presidency by saying he would do everything in his power to stop president trump and now joe manchin is doing everything in his power to stop democracy and to stop our work for the people, the work that the people sent us here to do. hr 1 is a huge bill not just in terms of voting rights but in getting money, politics, working against fraud and gerrymandering. big money in politics is what's destroying our democracy, and the republican party is aiding and abetting in that, and president trump is obviously doing that as well. so manchin is not pushing us closer to bipartisanship. he's doing the work of the republican party by being an obstructionist like they've been since the beginning of biden's presi

elizabeth: we also have hundreds of climate change protesters, democrats alexandria ocasio-cortez, jamaale protesting outside of the white house saying if you don't agree to a infrastructure deal we'll not have any deal whatsoever. they blocked entrances to the white house. so that was happening too. so there is a big, looks like a push and a threat from the far left, do the democrats need the hard left to turn out the vote in the midterms? >> they, they will not have pelosi as speaker. they would not be in the majority, be even that much more dysfunctional if they couldn't figure out how to keep this coalition together because their majority is so slim in the house. it is 50-50 senate. so, we feel like in order to put together 218 votes for nancy pelosi to become speaker this past january they have to appease the far left. they're trying to prop up this behind the scenes negotiation, using two left hands in a way. the democratic party that is, and for, what we're all witnessing outside of the front of the white house and the ridiculous demands being made, not really understanding the dif

espionage and increasingly these other governments, the ones i mentioned, we all saw what happened jamaal khashoggi, i was seeing what was happening with people who were vertical the monarchy and twitter, they were getting tracked be up and people hacking into the monitors so this was the power of zero day and that's what it is and created this gigantic market not just one that's been in the u.s. a long time but who don't have the same track records as we. >> so when you were structuring this book, i'm curious because going through it, your covering a broadband of time, what you don't necessarily take as a chronological cory, you seem to have structured around certain people do you have stuff that comes up in the 1950s and cultural or and 2017 and 2019 and pretty much up to the present day and other cases so i am curious, when you were structuring the story for this book, did you look at it as, why were the individuals so important to tell the story and why did you structure it around them and here's how it started and where we are at? >> for me, i wanted to take the readers by the hand a

earlier today, congressman jamaal bowman of new york said president biden needs to be a lot more vocal and out front on voting rights. you're obviously one of the president's closest allies in the senate. was he involved enough in these negotiations? is there something more he can do? >> look, president biden has been clear, has been forceful, and has been engaged about the importance of protecting the right to vote. vice president harris and president biden have spoken to senators, have spoken out publicly, have used their bully pulpit, in social media, in person and on camera. but i do think there's more work for all of us to do. if it's going to be harder for us to win elections going forward, then we're simply going to have to work harder to demonstrate that we're delivering results for the american people and to take the fight to state legislatures around the country and to try and persuade folks both in our caucus and nationally that the right to vote is too precious a thing to allow it to be taken away by state legislatures around the country. >> senator chris coons, appreciate

we were having the conversation during the break about the idea that if jamaal bauman, i mentioned the tweet from congresswoman presley, the tweet from congressman jones, add one or two more, you can stop the house. right there. you only have five or six votes. you can stop the house. are progressives prepared to get together and say the senate won't work with us, we'll use our power here? >> absolutely, 100%. we are prepared to say it. we are prepared to do it. we are in conversations like this as we speak. because enough is enough. again, we cannot acquiesce to republicans who have not shown the ability to negotiate with us in good faith. and we cannot allow our more moderate democrats who are more interested in corporate interests and corporate control of a corrupt government than they are in governing for the american people. we are in the people's house. the country has become much more progressive. progressives have organized to get joe biden into a white house, and to win the senate. look at what happened in georgia. so we are here. we are ready to get to work. if they're not re

. >> later, congressman jamaal bowman endorsed her as well. women endorsements. do these endorsements and the money who come with it change the game for her? >> i they think do, depending on who they are. an endorsement from congress member ocasio-cortez, that matters. she's a big name. she moves people. she can raise millions of dollars through an email. that really matters. catherine garcia, who is also running, got "the new york times." obviously, the paper of record. that really matters. so i think they can and i think aoc can help maya raise some last-minute money, which will make a big difference. because women candidates, it's not my opinion, it's a fact. they raise less money than men, for kind of obvious reasons. because there's a pay gap for women and men, you know, everywhere in the workplace, so this would only follow as a fact. >> and echoes all of the structural issues. you know in legislative bodies across the country, women have made some progress, but we're really talking about executive positions. you note that only 44 women

we have heard persecution the journalist whether egypt or dismemberment of the virginia resident jamaal can show the, honduras or russia. when dictators want to perpetrate atrocities and escape accountability they go after media representatives. mr. chair senator graham and i have the international pressss freedom act we introduced to create news category of nonimmigrant visas for threatened journalist and their families which is a strong statement of principle that we value journalism and a robust first amendment culture and provide a haven for those who are threatened around the world. i don't have other questions i think those that have recently visited the region have helped to identify the challenges in the next panelwe will do the same but i hope we think about ways where we can deal with an expanding set of attacks for journalist around the world and we can provide refuge in the united states for journalist and their families and they are under assault like they are in belarus. >> thank you senator kane i look forward to working with you we should be looking at the existing laws

working with the energyne subcommittee ranking member randy weber and chairman jamaal bowman, we've drafted a bill that will invest nearly $50 billion over 5 years, giving the office of science and our national labs the resources they need to continue to excel. we need cutting-edge facilities for our federal scientists and researchers from academia and industry to conduct big science, research that can't be done in individual labs and requires massive equipment that industry cannot provide, like advanced light sources and neutron i sources. this office of science legislation, which will be formally introduced tomorrow, is part of a two-pronged approach to build up america's research program along with the nsf for the future act, chairwoman johnson and i have taken a deliberative approach to revitalizing american research. we're doing so within reauthorization bills, which comprehensively fund the national science foundation and the office of science. rather than throwing money at these agencies or pitting them against each other for funding, we're investing in the programs that work and cre

jamaal and alabama, what is your opinion on this?aller: my opinion on drug laws is that the drug laws ought to be changed. from the standpoint of focusing on politicians. in terms of how they enforce drug laws. i know here in the state of alabama, we have legalized cannabis, but cannabis, marijuana has been illegal in the state of alabama for the past 45 years, and people are still going out arresting people for possession of marijuana, and, as a matter of fact, the former attorney general of the state of alabama ran on the fact that marijuana has been legalized in the state of alabama, so i think the focus should be on the politicians in terms of bringing arrest warrants against them for not properly enforcing the law as it is on the books. host: ok. greg in denver, good morning to you. caller: good morning. first, i would like to say we need to get to the root of the cause, those who lobbied to keep marijuana illegal, and these are american corporations willing to do this and turn good americans into criminals. alcohol corporations

jamaal bowman says if what i'm reading is true i would have a very hard time voting yes on this bill.ublican party. >> look, we clearly have to deliver this summer. i think that's understood. the president has been very clear he doesn't have a lot of red lines. he is willing to at least hear out all kind of different ideas but one red line he put out there loud and clear is that inaction is unacceptable. >> shelley moore capito is a duke alumnus it's not clear if she said who should coach the blue devils an coach k.'s depart. will: do you have. >> i think have you got to get tommy out of harvard. will: thank you, lucas. meanwhile, i think maybe perhaps one of the biggest he head fakes in partisan political history over the last half a century has been the idea that somehow corporate america aligns with the side of the republican party. there has been a massive realignment, i think, over the last several years or at least a massive reveal. because the partnership between the democratic party leftist politics in corporate america continues to be married. former president barack obama he
