by my next guest and joining me now is the host and managing editor of the unfiltered chauffeur roland martinod to see you, my friend. let's get to this sitdown you had with her. the vice president zeroed in on the racially charged comments that donald trump has made against black americans going back for decades and called him dangerous for the country and let's look at this. >> look at him in a context about how he thinks and talks about black folks in america. you and i have talked about this before. he is not looking out for folks when he was a landlord and wouldn't rent to black families. so the first black president of the united states and he had birther lines and you look at these immigrants in springfield, ohio, and he gets on a debate stage and says they are eating their pets? come on? >> what was your overall take away from your interview with the vice president? >> that she understands you have to compete for votes and we talked about a lot of issues in the 30 minutes. and no vote could be taken for granted and democrats have not been paying attention. there was a gap between lack

she interviewed with the shade room and roland martin. she's going to fox news. also offered to do another debate donald trump was scared of. i have been in presidential politics for numerous campaigns. particularly working with black voters. i am a black voter myself. vice president harris and her campaign rolled out economic policy plans today for black men in particular, but the reality is whether or not black men vote at the same margin, they are still the second highest voting block of the democratic party. we're seeing margins shift in latino communities an the reality is if abortion is the number one issue, the conversation also has to include why majority of white women continue to vote with donald trump in the last two elections. so we actually have to make sure we are not demonizing black voters in this conversation and having the conversation that vice president is having. >> in such a close election, let me just push you on that for a moment. those margins, yes, of course, she's getting the overwhelming majority of the black vote. no question about th

fundamental stakes of this election on one side you have is the vice president was saying with roland martin somebody who has repeatedly throughout his life disrespected and denigrated black men to benefit himself and donald trump. on the other side, you have the vice president, who was actually talking about what black men can achieve under her presidency, we think that that is an important distinction and one we're going to talk about over the remaining three weeks of this campaign. >> but michael, this weekend speaking to dana bash, jim clyburn said he was concerned about black men, not showing up, not turning out to vote. are you concerned about that? that's what i'm trying to get out if you guys aren't concerned, what does this effort about? >> yeah. well, this effort is about making sure that black men understand that there is actually a candidate in this race who sees them, who understands them, and who was not simply focused on the challenges and the obstacles that black men faced in this country. but it's actually focused on what we can achieve. write somebody who understands that b

but in the past few days, kamala's gone on "the breakfast club," "roland martin," "the shade room."make your racist uncle lock the car doors when they come on the radio. and in addition to her interviews, she's released a plan specifically aimed at winning over black male voters. >> harris announced a new plan aimed at winning them over, including one million forgivable small business loans, a focus on health issues that disproportionately affect black men, and legalizing recreational marijuana to boost the industry and create new jobs. >> it also supports pathways for black men to become educators, promises to protect their crypto currency investments. >> desi: wait, i get the business loans and health care, but crypto? i guess because black men deserve the opportunity to be scammed like everyone else? and legalizing weed should be popular, too, but kamala is a former prosecutor, so it's always a little suspicious when a cop approaches black men to offer them marijuana. "psst, hey, i heard you guys like drugs. me too." but there's one black man that kamala definitely doesn't need t

then there's this, harris appeared on black star network with roland martin and it's a political shownd harris tried to link the stars, the constellation with trump and racism. >> i talked with somebody once that said if you look at where the stars are in the sky, don't look at them with a brand of things but look at them as points and look at constellation and what it shows you, you outlined it and what does it show you? that the cities that he picks on in terms of black population or black mayor or both. come on. stuart: a presidential candidate that speaks in riddles does not inspire confidence. today she sits down with charlamagne tha god and the black vote and no idea what he'll ask or what she'll say and i believe we're see ago pivot in american politics and once trusted constituents are drifting away from the democrats and shifting to trump. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: we have jimmy failla, the man himself. >> if you watch that analysis of the constellations, she sounds like she's been hanging out with o'ryan, the hunter, biden. some type of illicit substance along

jessica: i thought it was great for her to sit down and i should say as well she sat down with roland martinwell, another very popular -- >> jesse: very popular? >> greg: you must know him or something. >> jessica: what ever appeared. >> and let the record reflect i do not interrupt, greg. >> jessica: in your face is what the judge is saying. she is having conversations directed squarely at black men who she is struggling with, and that is the smart thing that you should do when you have three weeks out and you are soft with a particular group. i think that charlemagne gives a great interview and it gave it even more huffed that he is someone who has been supportive of her and also critical. so he liked her and the 2019-2020 primary, and now he has talked before about what has gone wrong at the border and things that he feels like he has gone wrong about her actually that he thought a vice president could accomplish more than they necessarily could in real life. so i thought it was a really good discussion, immigration is meant to be a soft spot. we do see that people understand that donald

take a listen to what kamala harris said on roland martin's show here. staff won't let him do a "60 minutes" interview. everyone has done it except donald trump. he will not debate me again. i put out my medical records, he won't put out his medical records. and you have to ask, why is his staff doing that? and it may be because they think he's just not ready and unfit and unstable and should not have that level of transparency for the american people. >> reporter: so basically what harris is saying is what is he hiding, why is he hiding, and it was just announced in the last hour or so that kamala harris is going to go on fox news on wednesday to give an interview to the anchor bret bair. he did pass a creed on truth social about kamala harris and some of these questions, quote, i believe it is very important that kamala harris pass a test on cognitive stamina and agility. it's not clear what test he's talking about here. he's arguing that she is the one that's slow and lethargic in his view. kamala harris is set to rally behind me in this arena in bell

let me let you listen to vice president harris discussing what she's going to do on housing when roland martin her earlier this week. >> i'm going to create tax incentives for home builders and developers to build 3 million new housing units by the end of my first term, because a big part of jacking up the prices has been there's -- the supply is not meeting demand so the prices are higher. and when you couple that with $25,000 down payment assistance, we have the ability to give people the opportunity to achieve what generations before call the american dream. but which has been out of reach for too many people. >> you have expertise, obviously, in this area both as a member of -- a former member of congress and former hud director. that is critical. what do you make of that response and what her plans are regarding housing since you have seen the way that that's jacked up december the prices have jacked up? >> i can't tell you how excited i am about it. housing has been a crisis in this country for decades. but it has become so, so big that i am so excited about the fact that this person, th

appearing on black-oriented national media with high-profile interviews with charlamagne tha god, roland martinporters including controversial former nfl standouts antonio brown and le'veon bell. >> let's vote for trump, baby. >> reporter: back on the streets of philadelphia -- >> we're here to support the vote. >> whether on motorcycles, whether on bikes, cars, walking. we want to make sure that we are representing and making sure that we are moving forward with our constitutional rights. >> reporter: black men say they want to be heard. >> i think both parties make the mistake of assuming that when you talk to black men about criminal justice reform you've answered our questions. but we are entrepreneurs and we are business persons and we are homeowners and we are people with student loans because we graduated from college. and we want some real discussions around economic matters in the community. >> black men vote, one of the organizers of this event, set a goal this election cycle to register 100,000 black men across the country. they're 95% of hitting their goal. 60,000 men in philadelphi

. >> the vice president also sat down with roland martin for a comprehensive conversation about a broadom the economy to education, criminal justice and housing reform, africa policy, voter apathy and disenfranchisement. >> don't let anybody take you out of the game. there is an intent to make it more difficult. there is an intent to suggest to a lot of folks that their vote won't matter. what the intention that people will not vote. which is an attempt to silence folks. this election is going to be no different. they have already started with the misinformation and the lies. >> just today, harris rolled out a series of policies for what she calls her opportunity agenda for black men. which includes forgivable business loans for black entrepreneurs, more apprenticeships for black male teachers. more research for sickle cell disease and other diseases that disproportionately affect african american men. she's also calling for measures to insure black men have opportunities to participate as a national cannabis industry takes shape. by contrast, donald trump has laid out no policies that

. >> she did conversation with roland martin tomorrow. she's going to be in conversation with charlamagne, tha god. a lot of people still had been saying they need to know more about her. and the last couple of days, there's been this media frenzy about whether or not black men are going to support kamala kamalaharris? well, she didn't laid out a policy proposal exactly. four black men, and now she's going to push this message where a lot of them get their news. so in addition to the media, in addition to the policy, then she has the ground game, the infrastructure in battleground states having surrogates it's out there talking to voters. and now it's about turning those individuals who like what she has to say into actual votes by either early voting voting by mail, or getting them to the polls on time. so i think this approach is smart she knows that black men are important part of her constituency. they are not bleeding is many people believed but we want them that percentage point to go up higher to make her chances of winning in many

she she is going to be on kamala harris with a charlemagne tha god this week, she was on with roland martin it is clear the campaign is concerned about the numbers that they're seeing when it comes to black men. she's making her arguments on on black radio or what we used to call black radio which is now online. go ahead and take a listen to something else that she told rolling rolling martin this morning he is not looking out for folks when he is when he was a land lord and not rent to black families sued for it when he took out a full-page ad in the new york times against those five teenagers, black and latino innocent saying they should be executed. >> the central park five, when you look at the first black president, united states, and he had birth, their lives. and now you look at black immigrants, legal immigrants in springfield, ohio. and he gets on a debate stage and says they're eating their pets this man is dangerous not to mention rolling you heard her say this man is dangerous and she went down a litany of things from his past. >> and what is happening currently with his rhetori
