it just doesn t add up. i always want to know how he s going to deal with the senate and the house. he seems to forget he s got to deal with that group of people. i m hoping that he will say things that are unifying. i look at a lot of things that have been said. i ve got to be frank with you, april, mika and joe, i grew up in a household where both my parents were pentecostal ministers. in my household, a lie is a lie is a lie. i m hoping the president will be very honest with the american people. yesterday he met with hbcu president and they asked me for my advice before they went in. i said follow the money. nice executive order. when i ve got african-american kids who cannot get through school with a 3.5 average in their junior year because they don t have money, i want to know where the money is going. is it moral for them to not have
my gut is those who wrote inaugural address did not write that. steve bannon did not write that. so whoever wrote your inaugural address, don t have them help you tonight. this is a good point. whoever wrote that speech, always the last person in the room, on black history month, that person knows how to get somebody over 50% and how you win wisconsin going away. right. i will note as just a little side note here, the official statement that came up from the white house afterwards did say obama had turned his back on historically black colleges and left a lot of historically black leaders angry at him. there was that trumpian dig he couldn t resist taking. however, this reflects the desire to go after african-american votes. it s the same thing you re seeing inside white house with hispanic votes. there s a recognition there are votes in these communities up for grabs that trump did not speak to when he said, what do
strong a foreign policy team as you ll find going back to george w. bush and that s saying a lot. you can also look at the executive order on immigration. we have been shocked by that. it was a sloppy rollout. but the majority of americans support what he s trying to do. the second one, mark halperin, actually is most likely going to be rolled out, it s going to be ruled constitutional and americans are going to be largely supportive of that. just in a month those three things there, just talking for conservatives. he also has two pipelines. he also has the keystone pipeline that was an eight-year war that conservatives will cheer, even if it s largely symbolic. he s got union members coming in, leaders coming into his office saying, hey, we want to work with you. african-american leaders. african-american leaders in the office. he s opened that dialogue. and so we on this show and a lot
yeah. and you have examples in arkansas. a republican election commissioner intimidating voters showing up and yelling shut up and go home to early voters. you have white nationalalists claiming they plan to go and distribute weed and alcohol in african-american communities to try to suppress the vote. the idea that people can actually show up at a polling place with a gun, yell at people as they re voting, is it legal to be on the property of a voting location and do that? well, states do let people be certified poll mono monitors working with campaigns. you re in the allowed to randomly show up at the polls and start questioning voters about their qualifications or what donald trump has called for, for people to in certain parts of pennsylvania to go to other parts of pennsylvania and we know exactly what he s talking about when he says that. he s asking people to violate
levels of lemonade. yeah. look, i think, you know, coming from the campaign side of this stuff, i think the ground game is going to make this happen. right. i think black voters understand the importance of this election and they will. we still have three more days. right. i think they will absolutely come out to vote. in the fact we re blaming black people for the numbers now, we should be looking at republicans. republicans have systemically tried to take away the voting rights of african-americans. of people of color. and we see that with these voter suppression laws. i think they need to look in the mirror whoever the republicans out there saying, yeah, you know, black folks are not coming out to vote. and that just is not the case. i want to get counter point in here, rick. we have the conversation all the time. on the other hand, it is the democrat s job to get the african-american vote out not just with the mechanics of voter turn out, but also with presenting a case that
