i think kristen clarke, in some ways, is just a mirror held up to this current-republican party.nteresting. that you, very much, have such a sharp contrast in this moment. when you talk about racism in america. and the party's willingness to grapple with these questions. i think that's part of why this attracted so much attention, zerlina, right? that, it wasn't just about this moment. it wasn't just about the fact that he was ignoring that it was satire. it wasn't just about how well prepared she was for that moment. she was clearly very prepared. knew they were going to try to make an issue of this. it's about the fact that it -- it -- it -- it represents the more fundamental contrasts between the two parties in this moment. >> exactly, and i think that, you know, the republican party. they represent a shrinking portion of the american voting population. and they know that. and one of the things they would like to say is that kristen clarke is some radical, and that she -- she hates american institutions of government. but she's worked for these institutions. she's not anti-law

when we ask you first about the kristen clark nomination. you have been an outspoken proponent at kristen clark is the right person for this job, and she should be confirmed by the senate. her confirmation hearing marked by republican's doing a fox news, pageant acting out, fox news primetime arguments against her, she is the real racist, and she's controversial. what do you make about this process is far in her prospects of being confirmed? >> rachel i have to say that i thought kristen clark with masterful today. she is not a tv lawyer, she's a real lawyer. and so she was really able to defend her record. she has an astonishing career as a civil rights lawyer, leading the civil rights bureau at the new york state attorney generals office. she of course was a lawyer at the naacp legal defense fund. be to the lawyers committee for civil rights under law. work at the department of justice for six years. and so she comes to it with tremendous experience. but today what people could see, was the intelligence, the poise, the confidence and reall

to kristen's point, i think this is a small package deal. i think you could probably do a little bit less on the family part of the equation and a little bit more on the infrastructure part right now. i think what the president needs to do is to get a win. he needs to put something forward that is palatable to republicans in large measure. if they get on board, great. if they don't, that's fine, but you want to continue the momentum you have with the american people right now, to kristen's reporting, who are showing some interest in what the president is doing, they like what they're hearing, they are favorably disposed to the plan as it's currently laid out. if he can notch a win here and get some form of infrastructure done going into next year, covid, infrastructure, schools open. we had a great fourth of july, we'll have great christmas holidays. all of those things sort of add to the growing momentum you see the president accumulating with american voters who are going to be hard to make that turn away from him and democrats in the fall

>> well, let me answer that in two ways, kristen. first of all, there are democratic majorities , slim democratic majorities, in both houses of congress and of course, the biden administration and the democratic ministration. so these things can be and will be passed. but more than that, 70% americans want this move to a clean energy economy. that include the majority of republican voters. so i think there is absolutely political will in this country that recognizes a, there is a necessity, and b, there is a huge opportunity to create good paying jobs around thththththth for working people. >> i'm glad you brought up jobs, because that is a concern, right? how do we preserve jobs and also keep energy crisis down for americans, while we are making these transitions, taking these big steps. in your own president a campaign, you talked about how these goals can actually work in tandem. so kind of give our viewers an idea, a picture of how that could work in tandem. >> well, i want to dispel a myth that somehow we are going to have a hea
