Future leaders, and the congressional gop remains preemptively against the Voter Protection Legislation democrats have compromised on. But it would help black voters in the same state that birthed juneteenth to begin with. So heres my challenge to republicans in congress. Ahead of Tuesdays Senate Vote on the for the people act, do not hide behind a holiday that Black Americans frankly deserve, a recognition of the historic and continuous waiting for various freedoms that Black Americans have endured because that recognition is heartening. But we still understand that currently were under an assault of your partys making, occurring in nearly every state. And while the nation stands to benefit from another teachable moment, it should not be an either or proposition, not while this Suppression Campaign never takes a day off. We start Tonight with Congressman Hakeem jeffries, chair of the democratic caucus and a member of both the Judiciary And Budget committees and, most importantly for today, a proud father. Congressman jeffries, Thank You for being with us here Tonight, and happy Fathers Day. I have to start with the for the people act. The senate voted this tuesday, which Mitch Mcconnell and his caucus have said they will reject in unison. This includes the Compromise Version offered by senator Joe Manchin and the John Lewis Act is yet to be taken up in the senate after passing the house. But mcconnell says the same thing. No chance. As chair of the democratic caucus, where does your party even go when you Cant Advance a conversation around even a Compromise Bill to enhance our elections, but you have near unanimous support from republicans on a Juneteenth Holiday . Why this and not that . Well, good afternoon, rev. Its great to be with you, and of course happy Fathers Day to you. With respect to Mitch Mcconnell, what comes to mind are the words of George Wallace when he uttered something to the effect of segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. And weve seen with Mitch Mcconnell during the presidency of Barack Obama and now with the presidency of joe biden, his view is generally obstruction today, obstruction tomorrow, obstruction forever. Now, with respect to juneteenth and making it a federal holiday, this was a meaningful step in the right direction in order for us to deal with the situations that we confront in the present. It is important to acknowledge and recognize and lift up the sins of the past. So it was an honor to vote on the juneteenth bill. But we still have a long way to go in america. Now, well see what happens with the for the people act, h. R. 1 and s. 1 on tuesday. Then i think we have to go back to the Drawing Table if mcconnell presumably prevails with the use of the filibuster to move toward some of the things that Joe Manchin has indicated along with Stacey Abrams are absolutely necessary to be done as part of a meaningful effort to find common ground. And i think i would anticipate that those discussions will pick up immediately after the senate either acts or fails to act next week. Now, congressman, you mentioned juneteenth. I still have to celebrate the work that has been done this past week and decades before that for that matter. How good did it feel to watch President Biden sign the House Bill led by Sheila Jackson Lee that made juneteenth a federal holiday now . Well, it was amazing. And, rev, you often preach from the bible the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. This is the last federal holiday. The one before that, of course, was 40plus years ago when Martin Luther King day was enacted as a federal holiday. It should have been first certainly in the instance of juneteenth, but things have a way of working themselves out. Justice delayed has not been justice denied in this particular instance. And now we have to make sure that in much the same way that Martin Luther Kings holiday, which i often celebrate with you at the house of justice, an amazing annual event, is used to advance action moving forward. Certainly to acknowledge the journey that weve been on but to really use this as part of a continuing reckoning, which is why your point about senators on the other side of the aisle not hiding behind their juneteenth vote. Thats the least that they can do. Much more needs to be done to truly continue our march toward a more perfect union. Now lets talk about infrastructure. Are the democrats prepared to fight that fight and the fight that ensues should enough members call for reconciliation to pass President Bidens plan without republican support . We had a good conversation, House Democrats earlier, in the past week with counsel to the president and the director of omb, and they made clear that the president is committed to the bipartisan discussions that are under way in terms of an infrastructure plan. But we are prepared to operate on a Twotrack Approach and to utilize reconciliation if necessary. The republicans used reconciliation twice in 2017, the first time to try to repeal the affordable Care Act and take care away from millions of americans. The second time to enact the Gop Tax Scam where 83 of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1 . So certainly reconciliation is something available to us to utilize as part of what President Biden indicated he would do in the oval office, which is to build back better. We cannot go back to prepandemic normal because during the time prior to the pandemic, half the american people couldnt afford a sudden unexpected 400 expense. This is in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. So we are going to build back better. Were going to invest in our physical infrastructure, create millions of goodpaying jobs, and invest in the caring economy as well. Hopefully republicans will see fit to join us in this journey, but if not, certainly reconciliation is something that is available to us, and i believe on the house side, with great leadership from speaker pelosi, we will be prepared to do what is necessary to get the american jobs plan over the finish line. Congressman, very quickly, this Friday Derek Chauvin faces sentencing for George Floyds murder. What can you tell us about where negotiations stand on the justice in Policing Act in mr. Floyds name. Well, Congresswoman Karen Bass has been leading the effort on the house side, joined by Senator Booker and Tim Scott. I think we all believe that Tim Scott is, at least until this point, endeavoring to negotiate in good faith. We have to get something done in this space. We have to end Police Violence. We have to end police brutality. We have to end the police excessive use of force. The american people all across the country took to the streets to demand it. And congress has to act in this instance. I think the next two weeks will be critical in terms of us trying to get something done before the July 4th recess, where well be celebrating Independence And Freedom and liberty. We have to make sure Theres Liberty and justice for all, including africanamericans who far too often fall victim to Police Violence when encountering law enforcement. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act will be critical in that effort. So were all in, rev, to get this done. All right. Congressman hakeem jeffries, let me say this. I know that tuesday is primary day in New York. I was out telling people to get out and vote. Some erroneous report says i ive attacked nobody in the race for the record, but i will raise questions on anybody in any race. But if im attacking, youll know it. You dont have to read between the lines. Happy Fathers Day to you, hakeem, and glad to have you with us, mr. Congressman. Now to the continued rollout of the coronavirus vaccine. Some states have large majorities of their populations vaccinated while others are still facing a rise in cases. And at least some of that split is around ideological lines with democrats and independents much more likely to have been vaccinated than their republican counterparts. Joining me now is Reverend Dr. W. Franklin richardson, senior pastor of the Grace Baptist Church of New York. And dr. Yuchi blackstock, Founder And Ceo of advancing Health Equity and an msnbc medical contributor. Reverend richardson, let me start with you. I dont know what we can do to address the partisan nature of the vaccine split, but theres also a racial split, and its more about access than hesitancy. Fewer than half of u. S. States have vaccinated more than a third of their black population, something i know that you and cnbc is digging down in. What can be done . What are we doing at a state, local, and federal level to make this vaccine more equitable . First of all, Thank You, reverend sharpton. First of all, we have to own the fact that theres this inequity around race. 53 of americans are vaccinated while 9 of africanamericans are. What we find is that black people have received smaller amounts of the vaccination compared to the deaths theyve had and the total population they make in these states. As you just mentioned, only onethird in half the states have vaccinated onethird of the population. So what weve done, we commend the biden administration and particularly we commend you, reverend sharpton, because you have been our Numberone Influencer in terms of encouraging our people. We have to push trusted voices, trusted content, and trusted spaces. So what weve done is try to help our communities. Religious leaders in the conference of National Black Churches of all denominations are pushing vaccinations all over the country. And we are educating our people with engaging in activities in local communities. Were getting into these pharmacy deserts. Rural communities have the largest numbers. Do not let people be misinformed, when they say 65 of americans are vaccinated, thats only 51 of africanamericans that are vaccinated. Then if you go down further, there are certain sections in communities where if you look at race, hispanic and africanamericans, their statistics are very low. In some places, were as low as 20 vaccinated in african and latino communities. So it is a crisis. What weve done at this conference of National Black Churches is weve organized 3,000 pastors that we are training, giving them information about vaccinations, about the science, about the conspiracy theories, how to debunk them, because we really have to address not just vaccinations for the pandemic. The pandemic has unfolded the fact that the africanamerican community has been denied and addressed to vaccinations or were falling behind in the major population. So we have generations of vaccine denial, and its cost us death and its cost us pain. And the church, im happy to say, is engaged across this country in all denominations, and we will be in partnership with the cdc, making this happen. The cdc has owned the challenge, and we know that the pastors are trusted voices in africanamerican communities. And weve got to do a lot more. Dr. Blackstock, a study published this week by the Kaiser Family Foundation warned that even if we reach President Bidens 70 Vaccination Goal by July 4th or later, the failure to get some shots into arms equitably in the black and hispanic communities could limit the recovery overall and widen existing health disparities. Are there initiatives or programs that have worked, and how do we get them expanded to the communities that need them the most . Thank you for having me on, reverend al. As you mentioned, you know, there are two issues. One is access, and the other are concerns about the vaccine. In terms of access, were seeing those barriers being pushed down. There is incentives for small businesses to give paid Sick Leave to get the vaccine. Child care is being offered. Transportation is being offered. Extended hours at vaccination sites. So i think the access issues i think the biden administration is actually doing a strong job, and they need to keep pushing. But the other issue and this is what your other guest mentioned is this idea of trusted messengers, getting them out there. What were seeing is that the biden administration has also engaged not only with faithbased organizations but with barbershops and salons. This is building on decades of work in our communities that black barbershops, Public Health officials, black Health Care professionals have done to really target preventive Medicine And Increase Outreach And Education around the vaccine. This is what were going to need in the next few months if we hope to even think about closing this gap because as you know, we have this Delta Variant thats here already, and that is going to potentially affect unvaccinated communities. Those are our communities, again, causing an increase in the gaps that we already see. Reverend richardson, in detroit, a majority black city, access has been a huge problem, including issues with transportation and basic information with over a third of residents without home internet access. These same issues are undoubtedly replicated in other cities. Reverend Charles Williams and others have been bringing this Up To me over and over again. What can we do to bridge this gap . Well, were working on expanding broadband. Very important. Were working with the broadband distributors, trying to get them to increase the broadband in africanamerican communities. You know, people dont have computers, they cant make appointments. Its a big obstruction. So we are facing a real challenge as it relates to broadband. One of the other things we have to do is were on the ground, cnbc with our Pastor And Staff on the ground providing transportation to sites. Thats a problem in rural communities. And assisting people with the broadband issue. Its a history, reverend. When you have a history of neglect, it doesnt just show up in one instance. The pandemic, the covid19 has exposed how neglectful this response to vaccinations has been in our community, and it has given us an opportunity to begin to focus on it and to correct it because this is not over when the pandemic is over. And the pandemic is not going to be over when we think its over. And so we still have to have a longrange commitment to changing the issues around Health And Trust in our communities. Our people fundamentally do not trust the government, and thats why its important to put trusted voices into the conversation and theres nobody more trusted in our community than pastors who talk to their people every week, who preach to them, who bury their dead, who bless their babies and marry their young. So this is very urgent. Im calling on all pastors. We have a website. You can sign up and become a be trained. Were doing 3,000 pastors. Were already done about 500, and were getting this out. Were mobilizing the churches and the pastors. Dr. Blackstock, even though its Fathers Day, i want to address the Vaccination Rate among pregnant people because even there, we see a racial disparity. According to a study published last month, Vaccination Rates were lowest among black and hispanic pregnant populations. Briefly, what should those communities know about the safety of the vaccine for them specifically . Right. So there are two parts. Pregnant people need to understand that what weve seen actually in the data is that black and other pregnant people of color actually have been disproportionately impacted by covid19. There are higher rates of these people ending up in the intensive Care Unit on ventilators and severely ill. So thats one. Covid19 is a risk to people who are pregnant. But the other issue is that we now have months of data on people who are pregnant who have received the vaccine that have shown that the vaccine is both safe and effective. There are a lot of myths out there about fertility, about the impact of the vaccine on a pregnancy that are just not true. So, again, this is about getting that information thats accurate, thats concise, thats culturally responsive out to our community because we already have a black maternal Mortality Crisis in this country. We cannot risk exacerbating those inequities by having our pregnant people undervaccinated. So, again, we need to you know, the next few months are going to be very crucial because we can see over the summer and in the winter as the weather gets colder and the virus is more likely to spread in those conditions, we could see our communities being disproportionately impacted yet again. We have to really use this moment as a transformative moment. All right. Thank you to both of you, Reverend Dr. W. Franklin richardson and dr. Blackstock. Coming up, as we celebrate Fathers Day, im going to bring you some facts about black fatherhood that might surprise you and will definitely inspire you to Rise Up. Plus, its the last day of early voting in new York City, but you can still vote on primary day on tuesday.

For this Fathers Day Rise Up, i want to debunk some of the pernicious and racist myths about black Father Hood in america. Lets start with the stereotype about black absentee fathers. A 2013 study from the cdc showed that black fathers were actually more likely than fathers of other races to eat at least one meal with their children every day. The same study showed black fathers were also more likely to have bathed, dressed, or diapered their children every day and to have taken them to activities or helped with their homework. Meanwhile, any accuracy in the missing black Father Trope is largely due to deliberate and racist policy decisions. According to a 2016 economic policy institute study, Up To 1 in 10 black children has an incarcerated parent. The ugly reality of Mass Incarceration in the united states is that a huge proportion of those behind bars are convicted of nonviolent drug offenses. And while black and white people use drugs roughly at the same rates, black folks are almost six times as likely to be imprisoned for it. Far too many black fathers have been ripped away from their children against their will because of addiction and racist criminal Justice Systems. Of course black fathers, like all fathers, are not a monolith. Some do leave. My own father left when i was 10 years old. But i had a surrogate father who stepped into the gap, the late great James Brown took me under his wing. But happily my father and i have reconciled, a very important thing to me. And thats the example we must follow. If we want to Rise Up together this Fathers Day, if theres a child in your life who needs a parental figure, offer your guidance. Advocate for an end to Mass Incarceration. The reunification of families torn apart by that racist practice and for the equitable allocation of resources so all families can thrive. If youre a parent, you can Rise Up in your own home. According to the u. S. Bureau of labor statistics, mothers spend on average twice as much time caring for children as fathers, even if families where both parents work outside the home. Dads of all races can Rise Up together to set a good example for their kids by making their own households more equitable. After all, the most valuable gift you can give your children this Fathers Day and every day is more time spent together.

In cities across the country, lawmakers are working to create new policing and Criminal Justice reforms that have been long overdue. This comes as the race for Manhattans District Attorney is heating up. The winning candidate will oversee one of the largest District Attorney offices in the country. The changes that come out of their office will set the tempo for what other cities across the nation can achieve by rolling out these crucial reforms. With me now, candidate for manhattan District Attorney and former new York State chief Deputy Attorney Alvin bragg. Attorney bragg, youre running for District Attorney at a pivotal moment in new York City where lawmakers are facing a balancing act. On one hand, our city is long overdue for Criminal Justice reform. Yet at the same time, the rise in crime, in gun violence, particularly Hate Crimes as well has been concerning. As d. A. , what would your first steps be to ensure fairness in manhattans criminal Justice System but safety among its residents . Thank you, reverend sharpton. Happy Fathers Day. Ive lived at this intersection my entire life. I had a gun pointing me six times, three by Police Officers and three by people who werent Police Officers. So i understand these issues, you know, in my heart. I would do what ive done throughout my career, which is focus on reforms. Like i pushed back against Stop And Frisk when i was at the attorney generals office. But then focusing on cases that do matter for our Public Safety like gun trafficking. We can have both. They go together. Theyre opposite sides of the same coin. Ive worked on both issues throughout my career and who do it as District Attorney. As cities across the country face their own reckoning regarding how they conduct policing and Criminal Justice, what are the key takeaways you have seen that make reforming city criminal Justice Systems a success . So we need to shrink the footprint, you know, when you think about George Floyd and the counterfeit bill, Eric Garner and allegedly an untaxed cigarette. We have so many offensives that have nothing to do with Public Safety. We need to shrink the footprint prosecute that and focus on what really does matter, like i said, gun trafficking, violent sex offenses. Thats the first step, shrinking the footprint and then you mentioned this earlier in the program. You have to talk about what our cities are missing, investing in our homeless population and mental health. Thats the balance. Thats the balance. We can invest in our communities and then address, you know, the violent crimes. We can do that, and weve seen that elsewhere. Weve seen the benefits from not, you know, Reflexively Incarcerating for things that dont have anything to do with Public Safety. You had great statistics earlier in the show about that and about the effect of Mass Incarceration on communities and the collateral consequences to families. Thats not making us safer. We need to not do that and at the same time, focus on things like significant issues like gun trafficking. The current d. A. Of manhattan, Cy Vance Jr. Will leave office at The End of the year. If you win, as new chief prosecutor, you will inherit one of the most highprofile cases of the decade, the criminal investigation looking into former president trumps finances. When analyzing where the investigation standing today, how would you proceed when taking it over . So, you know, as you know, i Cant Comment on that which i dont know. But looking at whats in the public, i look at the team thats been assembled. They brought some folks in from outside of the office. And, you know, ive worked on a lot of matters where ive come in in the middle. And as would be the case here, complex matters. I worked on the prosecution of the former senate Majority Leader. I oversaw the prosecution of one mayor for campaign finance fraud, did another one for bribery of another mayor. So i stand at the ready to come in midstream, assess, and given the team thats been, you know, put together, you know, my experience with complex cases is generally you want to keep that kind of team together. Ill do what ive done throughout my career, which is follow the facts wherever they go. As i said, politicians of both parties, and i should mention ive got particular Litigation History with trump himself, having led the attorney Generals Team that held trump and his Family Accountable for the trump foundation. I feel well situated to step in. Lastly, briefly, if elected, would you be manhattans first ever black d. A. . You grew up in harlem during the rise of the crack cocaine epidemic. On a personal level, how much does this mean to you, to you, to be able to run for the District Attorney . It means a lot. You know, i knew the late ken thompson. He was a friend who was a black District Attorney in brooklyn, the first there. Id share a short story. My son at the beginning of covid, hes 11 years old. He didnt want to wear a face mask. He knows the science but he told me, dad, if i wear a face mask, the police may mistake me for a robber. Hes 11. Hes internalized all that is going on in our country. So to be able to look at him and for him to know that id be the person responsible for Safety And Fairness and Police Accountability in our city, not just him personally but those students in my Sunday School class and others that look like him, it is deeply meaningful to me.

But this past year, covid changed fatherhood for millions of us, keeping vulnerable grandfathers from their grandchildren and devastating communities economically, taking a disproportionate toll on black fathers trying to keep jobs while avoiding a plague. To those that attempt this, the best work ive ever done In My Life, i see and salute you, and so does my next guest. Joining me now, pierce freelaun, childrens music artist. Welcome to Politics Nation. Im glad to have you on Tonight because like many of us, you wear multiple hats. Youre an educator, a black City Councilman in a city that is rapidly gentrifying, which is durham, north carolina. And of course youre a music from an artistic family, your mother and your father, who designed the smithsonian africanamerican museum. But like myself, so many dads, there is that one hat that means the most, the heaviest one but most rewarding. How does fatherhood affect all the work that you do . Well, Thank You, reverend sharpton, and happy Fathers Day to you and all the other fathers out there. Fatherhood is everything In My Life. Like you mentioned, my dad, i had such a wonderful nurturing, loing Role Model who showed me the blueprint. No pun intended. He was an architect. My wife and i have been married for 13 years. We have two beautiful children. Especially during covid, they became a part of our everyday lives in a way that they hadnt been previously. So theyre in the studio with me. Theyre, you know, coming to work every day with City Council stuff. So its just been a wonderful opportunity to get more intimate with them and to welcome them into the workplace creatively and otherwise. I find it fascinating just looking at your descriptor for our audience. That youre a public servant and a musician. You find a way to interweave both passions and i know that forms the basis of your recent release black to the future. I understand one of the songs youre proudest of in this album is about closing the remaining gaps in Covid Vaccinations among specifically children. So if you will, pierce, tell me about Cootie Shot. I dont know if you remember back in the day, circle, circle, dot, dot, now i got my Cootie Shot. It was a Nursery Rhyme we used to sing on the playground. I wanted to create a song that really helped kids tap into the joy of that Nursery Rhyme from so many of our childhoods to address a very serious topic which is vaccine equity. Especially for us in the black community, we need to close that racial gap in Vaccine Distribution and access and choice. The choice to get vaccinated and do our part. So Cootie Shot is a joyful song. Its in the kind of Miami Base Bop kind of genre, and the goal is to get kids and their families dancing to the doctors office. Its a joyful, fun song about something, you know, that a lot of people are nervous about, getting vaccinated. So youll be pleased to know that its been a long time since we had some music here on Politics Nation, and i understand youre about to break that spell with the perfect Fathers Day song and a little help from your own little helpers, your Son Justice and your daughter stella. So pierce freelon, i really want to Thank You for being with us Tonight. And as we go to break, a song that i can relate to as a girl dad, Daddy Daughter Day. Take it away. Happy Fathers Day. Come on, stella. Come on, justice. You ready for a Daddy Daughter Day, Daddy Daughter Day were going on a Daddy Daughter Day its a Daddy Daughter Day yeah, Daddy Daughter Day what up right now we can go anywhere you wanna maybe later on, we can go get a Banana Float because thats really tasty.

Millions of Fathers Today spent Fathers Day with their children, and doing what fathers and children should do. And then many of us that are active in what we do, our children know that is what we do. So my children went with me today. Theyre grown, and im older, but i spent the day going to, among other places, harlem churches, urging people to come out in vote in early voting in New York and to vote in the primary tuesday and straightening out distorted reports in the media that i was attacking candidates i was not attacking. What was special is i spent a little while back at home with my grandson, who was teaching me that he was learning certain words. But as i was warmed by spending time with my one and only grandchild and my two daughters who are doing very well, i thought about those children and grandchildren who cant spend time with their fathers. Or grand fathers, because they are victims of being unarmed men killed by police, i feel unjustly. I thought about Eric Garners family. I thought about the family of George Floyd. I thought about the Husband And Father of two killed unarmed by a policeman in hawaii that im looking into. I thought about this because even on holidays, i think about those that dont have the same privileges and the same things that we enjoy, that were unjustly taken. I think about that because the father figures In My Life raised me that way. I had father figures In My Life, like bishop f. D. Washington, like Reverend Dr. William jones, like reverend jesse jackson, like the godfather of soul, James Brown. So as i do my duties as a father, i do my duty as a Son Figure to those that raised me to Stand Up for other fathers. That makes it a complete Fathers Day for me. Well be right back. Home.

Hello, everybody. Im Michael Steele, in for alicia menendez. Were looking ahead this Fathers Day to a huge week ahead for the biden agenda. One that could have major implications for how the president moves ahead with his term. First, on voting rights. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to force a vote on the for the people act on tuesday in what will be a major test for democrats. It comes as we await a major supreme Court Decision out of arizona that could gut whats left of the voting rights act. And what some have called the most important voting Rights Case in almost a decade. With hr1 in trouble in the senate, democrats are eyeing points of compromise to get two of the holdouts, Joe Manchin and kyrsten sinema, onboard, but some progressives dont think the Compromise Bill from manchin goes farnered.
