congresswoman rashida tlaib joins me now. does not want to hear it. but it's an important conversation to be had. talk to me about why you want to have this event, why you wanted this day specifically to be recognized, and held in congress. >> as everyone knows, i am always very proud that i grew up in detroit. i always say it is the most beautiful black city in the country. but one of the things i learned early on as a child is that we cannot truly have equality and justice when this case lasting peace if we do not recognize the horrific side of our own history and our own -- black neighbors as well as indigenous people, as well as both continue to be targeted by inequity and injustices. so, for me, as a palestinian american, growing up with two palestinian american parents, talking about not only the nakba in 1948 and the experiences they heard from their own parents, but also the fact that the nakba never ended for many palestinians still currently living, again, under what many again -- organizations, human rights organiz

meanwhile, in washington, d.c., democratic congressmember rashida tlaib introduced a resolution last what she calls the ongoing nakba and the rights of palestinian refugees. we are joined by three guests. peter beinart is editor-at-large of jewish currents. his recent piece is headlined, "could israel carry out another nakba?" he's a professor of journalism and political science at the newmark graduate school of journalism at the city university of new york. also with us, saleh hijazi is part of the palestinian boycott national committee. he is the former deputy regional director for the middle east at amnesty international. he was a key researcher on the report "israel's apartheid against palestinians." he is visiting new york from ramallah. munir nuseibah, human rights lawyer and professor at al-quds university in jerusalem where he founded the human rights clinic. he is visiting new york. we welcome you all to democracy now! i want to start with nuseibah. if you can talk about the egyptian-brokered cease-fire and what this violence of the last weeks has meant. >> the violence is t

rashida tlaib is not immune. she enjoyed $12,000 worth of private security services.arently protection is only noble when it's out of uniform when it's unlicensed, when it's for them. >> kayleigh: of course it is. rules for the, not for me. when you make aoc more moderate than you, can you relegate yourself to the far, far far left if we can even call it that. you've got something going on. you've got some issues. it's not just these two individuals. i want to broaden this out and make it about democrats more broadly because he is what we've seen. democrats say republicans want to defund the policeman what a ludicrous thing to say we all know that's not true. but it's your party, to democrats who voted against memorializing these officers. no republicans joined you and beyond that there is another bill, d.c. put in a really radical bill to target police officers according to their union, take away their due process as d.c. battles crying. 14 democrats vote to overturn d.c. goes to the senate, nine democrats joined republicans and vote over over overturned the d.c. req

said bernie sanders stepping in to allow rashida tlaib to hold this in his committee room is a disgrace. other republicans say tlaib's event does not change u.s. policy here. >> every american has the right to free speech, including in this place, and we have seen it today as well, but i'm going to be loud and clear that we have an ally that is in israel and we will stand by our ally, israel. >> and we have not yet heard from the two democratic leaders on this, but important to point out tlaib did not try to hold the event in the capitol when nancy pelosi was speaker. she did, however, introduce a resolution to recognize it. >> sandra: thank you very much, aishah, thank you. john. >> john: and more new video just in, this of california democratic senator diane feinstein returning yesterday for the first time in three months following a shingle infection, she spoke moments ago. listen here quick. >> how you doing? >> i'm doing very well, actually. >> are you going to be able to maintain a full schedule? >> i'll get rid of this very soon. >> john: she is in a wheelchair there, and she cam

can you imagine the outrage from ilhan omar or rashida tlaib if they are making a mockery of islam?t story. it shows the hypocrisy in the double standard of today's democratic party and those who abide by this so-called woke agenda that stands against freedom in this country. and respect. >> kayleigh: emily, i love the media framing from ktla they had the sentence "many of you the dodgers decision as caving to right wing fundamentalists" >> emily: they are hilarious frankly commentary saying it was honest thoughtful feedback response and conversations or was a capitulation to that knee-jerk woke left mob that seeks to checkboxes because absolutely the hypocrisy is on full display. if that was anti-muslim, and that was anti-judaism, it was anti-anything other than judeo-christian or catholic, it would be deemed unacceptable, which it is. i note the dodgers organization and their fan group for quite some time has been frankly nauseating and despicable and a lot of different holiness. their fan base is notoriously violent including recently when someone was beaten near to death for the

amy: here in the united states, palestinian-american congressmember rashida tlaib introduced a resolutionto recognize the nakba, when hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes before and during the formation of the state of israel in 1948. the resolution reads -- "the nakba is not only a historical event, but also an ongoing process characterized by israel's separate-and-unequal laws and policies toward palestinians, including the destruction of palestinian homes, the construction and expansion of illegal settlements, and israel's confinement of palestinians to ever-shrinking areas of land." house speaker kevin mccarthy attempted to quash a planned event by tlaib commemorating the nakba by preventing it from going ahead in the u.s. capitol. instead, congressmember tlaib hosted the event in a packed senate committee room filled with palestinian rights supporters. in pakistan, rested former prime minister imran khan is expected to soon appear before the supreme court as unrest grows across pakistan. at least eight people have been killed in protests, thou

and i just listen to cori bush, cori bush numbered rashida tlaib apparently not assisting officers killedricans. she just said, cori bush, we need $91 trillion that we can then send the money abroad? wait a minute, i thought that this was to repay you for slavery, the civil war and people dying is not enough. this is absurd, what it is doing is creating the anticipation just like governor newsom did. he assigned the task force, he signed it when i got back, and then it comes back and he actually said, this is not really all about money. but what they were doing was creating division. a possibility of hope that it might happen and then creating the division of us versus them mentality. we are owed this, and it is ridiculous. >> harold: we have a history of redress in our country, whether as a government agency doing something wrong to an american citizen who then is entitled to money. we had it with the japanese who were in turn wrongly during world war ii, so we agree even when we talk about this with california, that there was a harm done through slavery. and we should not allow the pres

elected to congress. 2018 also saw the first muslim women elected to serve in the house, democrats rashida tlaibble to hold on to a senate majority, his party really ended up being routed by the democrats. today is more than about democrats and republicans. it's about restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the trump administration. [julian] once democrats have control of the house, speaker nancy pelosi emerges as the chief opponent of the president. there's a big difference between the president and me. he has very thin skin and i have very thick skin. nancy pelosi is donald trump's worst nightmare. she knew so much more about legislating, washington in general. that gave her an upper hand in a way 'cause he didn't really know how to deal with her. [lester] fireworks erupting between president trump and democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, a fight over funding the border wall and the president now threatening a government shutdown. trump's biggest applause line during the campaign was "i'm gonna build a wall." when in trouble, pull the immigration lever because it alwa

to commemorate this date, rashida tlaib announced she would be speaking at an event in the u.s.the catastrophe, she wants to lament the founding of is israel. tlaib is the daughter of palestinian immigrants and we should point out, of course, that criticizing israel or its government is not necessarily anti-semitic, but congresswoman tlaib has a history of making remarks that many of her fellow democratic members of congress have described as anti-semitic. some of the co-sponsors of this event such as jewish voice for peace action and americans for justice and palestine action are described by the antidefamation league as groups that traffic in anti-semitism. however you feel about it, late last night kevin mccarthy announced on twitter he is canceling congresswoman tlaib's event, saying he will host a bipartisan discussion on the long relationship between the united states and israel. cnn reached out to congresswoman tlaib's office regarding her level of involvement with the event and what speaker mccarthy did but we have not heard back. >>> greg abbott plan ed to plan pardon a

jay powell, the fed chair was testifying up on capitol hill and he got asked this question by rashida tlaib, who was at the time freshman in the house. and she last crisis all bailed out the banks. you did all these rescue programs for the banks next time what about detroit could you save a municipality? could you offer some sort of cheap lending option that can help states and cities to through a tough patch. and he was basically like. tldr no like we absolutely cannot do that. we don't want to do that. state and local government lending is just so political that the fed would never want to get into that. and i think what was really interesting is within a couple of weeks, the crisis starting in 2020, we saw them cross right over that line. municipal had completely dried up. states and localities couldn't issue bonds because. the market just wasn't functioning. somebody to do something to get it. to open back up. there's a lot of pressure coming from congress to do something to get it to open back up. and the fed. the fed did it. they did. they a municipal liquidity facility and they reall
