Dont go anywhere. But we begin tonight with the appalling Rightwing Reaction to the gutwrenching testimony we heard yesterday. That hearing was a reminder that without the heroic efforts by the d. C. And Capitol Police that day, the insurrection of 6th'>January 6th could have been far worse. At the very least, the sworn testimony of those brave officers conveyed the Lifethreatening Struggle they endured on the Front Lines as they tried to repeal a determined and violent mob Of Trump supporters. And thats what makes the reaction from rightwing Cable Hosts and republican members of congress so incredibly shameful. Last night numerous Tv Personalities on Fox News mocked the investigation. They downplayed the insurrection and ridiculed the officers who risked their lives that day. Heres just a fraction of what they said. The whole thing turned into in the eyes of many nothing more than performance art. Lets see if we can impeach and Smear And Slander Donald Trump one more time. The theatrics were intended to produce an emotional reaction, logic and facts be damned. An awful lot of members of congress are emotionally fragile. Some seem unstable really. Some to the point they might qualify for federal disability on those grounds. It was not a terrorist attack. It wasnt 9 11. It wasnt the worst thing that ever happened to america. It wasnt an insurrection. So apparently this is what we can expect from The Rightwing media for the duration of this investigation. Theyre even willing to attack uniformed police. In Fact Laura Ingraham made fun of those officers by awarding them fake prizes, saying among other things that Officer Gonell exaggerated the threat he faced that day. Then theres republican congressman Jim Banks who was rejected from the committee when he tried to undermine its mission. Hes now smearing the officers who testified, effectively making up rumors to insult their intelligence. Everything that you saw today was carefully scripted by Speaker Pelosi and her staff. Even the statements that these Police Officers read. You could tell at times they didnt write the statements, they were merely reading them as they stumbled over some of the words that they werent familiar with. You guys heard that, right . Hes attacking the officers who helped to save his life. And thats the Guy Kevin Mccarthy wanted on this committee. Banks is not only insulting the Officers Ability to think for themselves, but unsurprisingly he came equipped with zero evidence to support his baseless allegation. In a statement Speaker Pelosis office called his claim despicable, saying that neither the speaker nor her staff scripted their testimonies in any way. In fact many republicans like Minority Leader kevin mccarthy, Conference Chair Elise Stefanik And Congressman jim jordan dont even know what theyre criticizing because they couldnt be bothered to watch the hearing. Their continued attacks on the only bipartisan investigation of 6th'>January 6th really reveals just how complicit they are in the events of that day. And in some cases, their bluster might be compensating for a guilty conscience. Congressman jordan, who was also rejected from the select committee last week, finally admitted that he spoke to trump on the day of the insurrection. It comes after hes weaseled Out Of The Question multiple times. This is another reason why jordan should not be on the dais of that hearing room, but instead he belongs on the witness stand. Take a look. Did you talk to the former president that day . Ive talked to the former president umpteen times, thousands i mean on 6th'>January 6th. Countless times. Ive talked to the president numerous times. I continue to talk to the president. No, i mean on 6th'>January 6th, congressman. Yes. On 6th'>January 6th did you speak with him before, during or after the capitol was attacked . Id have to go i spoke with him that day after. I think after. I dont know if i spoke with him in the morning or not. I just dont know. With me now is susan del percio, a republican strategist. In a moment well be joined by Congressman Madeleine Dean of pennsylvania. She was an Impeachment Manager earlier this year so she will certainly join us momentarily. We begin with you, susan. A lot of people yesterday, they were basically accusing Officer Dunn of making up the story that people were hurling these racist slurs at him. I want you to take a listen to actual audio of a Voice Mail that Officer Fanone received. People wanted proof. Heres the proof. Youre a punk [ bleep ], youre a lying [ bleep ]. How about all the Scummy Black [ bleep ] scum for two years destroying our cities and burning them and stealing all the [ bleep ] out of their stores and everything. How about that, assaulting cops and killing people . How about that, you [ bleep ] . That was [ bleep ] at the [ bleep ] capitol. I wish they would have killed all of you scum bags because you you people are scum. They stole the election from trump and you know that, you scumbag. This is insane. I see congresswoman dean, youre joining us as well. Susan, ill give you a chance to answer this question before i move on to congresswoman dean. I wasnt surprised when i heard the racist slurs. I wasnt surprised when i heard Officer Dunns testimony. But i am curious, why do you think there that are so many people that support white supremacy, so many racists who find a home and feel comfortable within the republican party. Because this doesnt begin with trump and it certainly wont end with them. No. But they found a place that they are literally embraced when it came to Donald Trump and they became part of The Party that Donald Trump was part of. And of course its not a reach to think that they said those things to the officer. And one other thing. You know, with all of this false hype from rightwing media, you know how we know their testimony was true . We know it was true because We Saw it on television. We saw what was happening in realtime. There is video to prove the attacks on these officers lives. You know, you started off the segment saying its shameful. These people have no shame that are making these attacks. These members of congress, the republican members of congress who are making these attacks, they have no decency, they have no shame, they have no moral compass. They dont belong representing our government. But there they are and all they have is this anger to hurl around. Congresswoman dean, thanks for joining us. I know its a busy day on Capitol Hill. I want to bring you into the fold. What was most baffling to me was the fact that the gop didnt even bother to watch. They couldnt be bothered to Pay Attention and still shamelessly defend the insurrectionists essentially. I want you to take a listen to this exchange between your fellow congressman, jamie ras kip, and Congressman Andrew Looi clyde. Take a listen and well get your reaction on the other side. I would like you to quote my exact statement. Not your interpretation of my statement. Okay. Watching the Tv Footage of those who entered the Capitol And Watt through Statutory Hall Show People in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures. If you didnt know the Tv Footage was a video from 6th'>January 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. Those are your words. And i stand by that exact statement as i said it. He stands by that exact statement. What hes saying to people is do not believe your lying eyes, this didnt happen. How can you negotiator govern alongside people like that . Well, you cant. These people have abdicated their governing role. Instead they are in support and tethered to the Big Lie and the former president who is a failed president who, lets remember, but for Donald Trump we would not have had an insurrection at the capitol. He fed the lies for months and months and months and then after the election when it was so clear that he had lost, he continued the lies. And he had elected officials here on Capitol Hill continuing those lies also. So im very proud that the committee got started yesterday. I had the real privilege of meeting with the four officers last evening and of course watching some of their testimony. I thought the committee acted in a dignified way, which is all we ask, because what do we want . We want the truth. Who was involved . Who planned it . Who failed to respond after the insurrection happened . Donald trump invited them on a specific day. He spent more than 2 Million from his Campaign Fund in order to promote this event. And of course people came and they came armed. They came with kevlar vests. And We Saw americans Attacking Americans Incited by a failed president of the united states. So, mr. Clyde, i dont know where he is in this delusion, but it is impossible to govern with someone like that. Well, we dont know where he is in this delusion, but we do know that hes not alone. And so congressman thompson, whos chairing the committee of course has said theyre going to start issuing subpoenas. We imagine that there will be some republican members of congress on that list, perhaps even don junior and ivanka, well wait and see. Ive got to say, congresswoman, democrats have a weak record on compelling these people to testify. Youre a former impeachment officer. Whats your advice to the committee on finding that Pressure Point and making sure these folks testify, and if they do lie to congress, what are going to be the tangible consequences for that behavior . Well, i hope and i believe we will do our best to enforce subpoenas. Now, over family members, we know mr. Trump himself is not going to cooperate but he should still be subpoenaed. Anybody who has any factual knowledge as to the planning of this event, as to making sure the event happened, and really importantly, this is what i kept asking as we prepared for impeachment 2, what did the president know in advance . What did he know at the time of the insurrection, and what did he do afterwards . For hours he sent no help. He had his own Vice President where they were saying hang mike pence. So we will get fact witnesses. I do believe this is such an important historic time of extraordinary violence to our democracy that people will come forward. Just the testimony we heard yesterday was powerful and valuable and nobody had to be subpoenaed. It is shameful that the republican members of the house and the senate do not support our Capitol Police, our metropolitan police. They are literally the defunders of the police. It is they, 21 of them, who would not vote to honor our Capitol Police with the gold medal recognition. It was they who failed to pass the supplemental when we were told by general honore of their deep needs. So these are the defunders of the police. These are ones who are indecent, to use the word that you used, and also they do not want to get at the truth because as Senator Toomey and mr. Banks have said, the truth might not be good for them until another election cycle. You make another good point. Joy reid said republicans are so caught up on defund the police, they wont even defend the police and were certainly seeing that play out right now. Susan, i want to bring you back into the fold because Congressman Mo brooks, I Cant even fathom the audacity. This man stood on the stage and helped to incite this violent insurrection and he has the at the tumerity to ask the doj to represent him, which the doj said get out of here. This kind of rhetoric did not begin with trump, this is long lived in the republican party. So for folks like yourself who do not like trump but are still a member of The Party, you just heard the congresswoman say you cant govern alongside these folks. When it comes to voting down ballot, Mo Brooks is running for senate, Marco Rubio is running for senate. Should they keep voting for republicans who traffic you should never vote for anyone who you think is morally corrupt or against what your belief system. Yes, im still part of The Party, but i think even the congresswoman said there are shes happy to work with the two republicans on the committee, for example. There are discussions and it is important that there are people who are sane who are left in this republican party because i do believe eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later, this will The Party will burn down and have to be rebuilt. And it should be rebuilt with people on principles. Yes, tiffany, we could go back and forth on tax policy. Lets have that conversation. But there is no room, not only in my party or in government, but in our society for people who are this vile. I could not agree with you more. Thank you so much, congresswoman Madeleine Dean and susan del percio. Thanks for joining us. Coming up, a key procedural vote is happening right now after a big bipartisan Infrastructure Deal was reached today. We will get a live update from Capitol Hill, so dont go anywhere. Plus, as new covid cases surge, new Masking Guidance is being received just about as you would expect by the gop. Which is it . Vaccines or masks . Vaccines work or they dont work.

Just moments ago 17 republicans joined all democrats in voting to move forward on a procedural motion to debate a bipartisan Infrastructure Bill announced earlier today. Now, agreement is just the first hurdle. What comes next is a treacherous marathon filled with Land Mines that may or may not lead to a final passage. Take, for example, what happened earlier today. Arizona senator kyrsten sinema, a key democratic negotiator of the bipartisan deal finally admitted that she does not support the 3. 5 trillion Reconciliation Package in its current form. Now, this could be a problem for the progressive members of the Democratic Party who were willing to sacrifice a number of issues in order to get the bipartisan Infrastructure Deal done, but this was only with the understanding that more would be addressed in the Reconciliation Package. With me now is Nbc News national political reporter, sahil kapur. Sahil, busy day on Capitol Hill, before we get into the politics on this, i think its important for the folks at home to understand what exactly is in this bill . Absolutely, tiffany. This is a big vote for the bill, a major breakthrough for a piece of legislation that senators have tried to move for quite a while now. And heres what it includes. Its 550 Billion in new spending on infrastructure projects. That includes roads and bridges. That includes highways. It includes public transit. Theres about 65-billion'>65 Billion in here for new broadband. It includes Water Infrastructure as well. There is a lot in here that every american from Coast To coast will experience on some level if this passes. It has not passed the senate yet. This this is just the first vote. But you had 17 republicans voting with 50 out of the 50 senate democrats to move forward with this. That is not just the core five republicans who were negotiating the bill, its not just moderates like Susan Collins and lisa murkowski. It is conservatives too. It is mitch mcconnell, who has selfstyled himself as the Grim Reaper of progressive legislation. He says this deal should move forward and he appears open to the final product here. So a big deal here for one of President Bidens top priorities on a series of projects that have long had bipartisan support, tiffany. Well, its a big deal for President Biden but seems to hit a sour note with some members of the progressive wing of The Party. I want you to show a tweet that aoc responded to when it came to the Sinema News that she would not support the reconciliation. Good luck tanking your own Partys Investment on child care, climate Action And Infrastructure while presuming youll survive a three vote house margin, especially after choosing to exclude members of color from negotiations and calling that a bipartisan accomplishment. She wasnt alone there. Peter defazio called this bill crap. So if you have that kind of sentiment in the progressive wing of The Party, how will this impact the Infrastructure Bill overall . This is going to face a real hurdle once it gets to the house, tiffany. Heres how democratic leaders are trying to finagle this. Theres a 550 Billion bipartisan deal that includes infrastructure, highways, roads and bridges, what i just talked to you about. There is a separate bill, this reconciliation bill. Thats a fancy term for major Safety Net Expansion that President Biden is looking at passing. That includes money for child care, elder care, climate change investments. It includes Health Care Spending that would expand medicare benefits to include dental, visual and Hearing Aids and lower the eligibility age. That second piece is the biggest priority of progressives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on the side of the progressive caucus in saying that the house is not going to vote on the bipartisan Infrastructure Deal until the senate passes both bills. That is her leverage, that is her way of saying that all 50 democratic senators had better get on board with those other roughly 3 Trillion in President Bidens priorities before the house moves. Wow, some of the issues you mentioned disproportionately impact communities of color and we just want to note as aoc said, there were no people of color a part of this negotiation. We will certainly keep our eye on it. Thank you so much. Up next, conservatives are pushing back against the new Mask Guidance from the cdc as unvaccinated Covid Patients express their regrets.

Drama erupted on Capitol Hill today over the updated mask wearing guidelines in the house with Gop Member Lauren boebert Throwing A Mask Back at a floor staffer. Drama that will escalate as President Biden is expected to announce tomorrow that federal workers will require to be vaccinated or else submit to testing. Now, to be crystal clear, these mandates and measures are designed to protect citizens from a deadly, dangerous, and highly contagious variant. A virus that for some will ravage the body killing to date more than 4 Million people around the world. So imagine for a moment not being able to breathe. Thats what our Health Care workers on the covid Front Line are seeing again and again every single day. I feel bad. Bad . Yeah. I cannot breathe good. I have shortness of breath. I feel sorry about not getting a vaccine. Why didnt you get vaccinated, maam . I was scared. Do you regret not getting vaccinated a little sooner . I regret it, yes, i do. I feel like i was dying. I couldnt do nothing for myself. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Its horrible. Joining me now is florida internist, dr. Michelle aquino. This footage is heartbreaking and i want to make an appeal to the people who are watching, if you can take me inside the hospital and tell me about some of the worst cases, symptoms and conditions youve seen with patients who have refused to be vaccinated. You know, tiffany, right now about 97 of all patients admitted to the hospital are unvaccinated. So this is a very common occurrence. Im a hospitalist, i work in the hospital, i see Covid Patients every day. Im on Covid Ward this week so im taking care of just Covid Patients right now. My typical visit is i go in. Theyre very lonely because you really are in the room alone isolated. I go in and sit down. Really i do a lot of cheerleading. Youre doing well. Youre still breathing, thats a win. Youve got to look at it that way. Theres a lot of crying, theres a lot of frustration. People are scared. And they feel horrible. It is horrible, as you said just a little while ago, not being able to breathe. That is one of the worst feelings to have. So these people are feeling this day in and day out and its just scary. Very scary. Its scary to watch and heartbreaking to watch. Im just curious, what are some of the reasons people have given you for not getting the vaccine . You know, i want to say when it comes to this issue, vaccine, i want to stress vaccine hesitancy. I really believe that the majority of people are vaccine hesitant. There are some antivaxxers, we dont even discuss those because they wont change their minds. But the majority of people not vaccinated is because theyre scared. Theyre getting data from all these other areas, from facebook, from an Aunt Or Uncle or cousin who used to be a nurse 20 years ago and hearing all these things throuGh The grapevine and theyre just scared. So i think people are just having this sense of overwhelming data, dont know who to trust and just get immobile and dont vaccinate. And then they end up in the hospital. The first thing they tell you is, doc, when can i get my vaccine . How soon can i get vaccinated . I understand now why i need to get vaccinated. How soon can i get this done . So its frustrating. Its really frustrating. Because i want to say call your doctor. Talk to your doctor, okay . Well give you the information. Talk to the doctors. Dont listen to people that are nonmedical. Dont listen to politicians. Seriously, unless someone has a medical license, is a medical doctor seeing patients actively, why are you listening to their opinion . I dont get that. It baffles me. Youre not going to your mechanic saying, hey, ive got this Cough I Cant get rid of. So the fact that people are taking medical advice from Social Media Memes is just you know, you dont know what to do about it. I think another thing too is, you know, when youre young, life is abstract and you dont really know the consequences. There are a lot of people who think this is a disease that disproportionately impacts the old, the elderly. Talk if you will to those folks. Right. So that is completely false. I will say for our first two peaks of delta in the united states, yes, the majority of people were older and they were sicker and thats who we would see in the hospital. Right now with the delta variant, things have changed. What i mean by that is right now we are seeing younger people, healthy younger people being hospitalized with covid. So delta has been a gamechanger in so many ways but this is one of the ways we see that. I have taken care of healthy 19yearold Woman in the hospital. I had a 23yearold otherwise healthy male. You know, youre seeing younger 20s, late teens, younger 20s in the hospital. Again, these are healthy people. These are not people with a lot of medical issues. When you see that consistently, its not a onetime weird event, its consistently seeing younger people in the hospital, you think, huh, better Pay Attention to this delta. Its changing the face of covid right now and of whos getting sick, and so that is scary. That is very scary. Also i want to mention, one of the hospitals that we have, we have a fivehospital system. Four Adult Hospitals and one Childrens Hospital here in jacksonville, florida. Our Childrens Hospital right now in the last two weeks has consistently had children, consistently. And i can speak to right now i know there are at least three kids, three babies under the age of 5 that are right now hospitalized with covid, otherwise healthy. Wow. So you see this over and over and over with delta. Again, before we really didnt see these younger people, but now with delta, youre seeing over and over younger, late teens, 20s, 30s, otherwise healthy. And the babies, as im mentioning it. So again, delta is a gamechanger for covid. It really is not a kind covid. Its more of a Covid On Steroids and its just a nasty, nasty virus. I for one as a doctor and as a patient have a very healthy respect for it. Let me i want our viewers to take a listen to a Covid Patient who was having struggles breathing. When you have to go on the vent or you get put in the Hospital Or Icu and you get segregated from your family because they cant get to you, thats all the answer that you need on vaccination. So i just want to make the point that you as a doctor and so many other Frontline Workers are putting your life on the line putting these folks. Were way over time but if you can answer quickly how you feel about that. This is all because people are making a decision not to get vaccinated. Its endangering you as well. It endangers all of us. Earlier you said you dont listen to your mechanic for medical advice. People are listening to their mechanic right now and thats wrong. You need to listen to the physicians and the doctors and people that have skin in the game. I put a mask on every day. I am vaccinated and i walk in a room with someone who has covid and i sit there, examine them and spent 20, 30 minutes in the room with them holding their hand, knowing that delta can possibly infect me because its more infectious. But i sit there and i talk them throuGh This process because its lonely, its scary, and honestly right now, 97 of these hospitalizations could likely have been prevented if they had been vaccinated. Well, thank you for showing compassion and being on the Front Line. If this interview even helps one person get the vaccine, its been well worth it. So thank you so much, doctor, youll have to come back.

This morning Bishop William Barber joined by former congressman Beto Orourke kicked off the poor Peoples Campaign March for democracy in georgetown, texas, demanding federal action on Voting Rights among other things. Over the next four days, the Selmatomontgomery Style Voting Rights March will make its way 27 miles across the state to austin for a rally on saturday at the state capitol. Now, the march comes three weeks into the texas legislatures special suppression session. Democratic legislators who left the state to block republican Voter Suppression bills are still right here in the nations capital. Tomorrow three of those democrats will testify before the house oversight committee, making their case for the passage of federal Voting Rights legislation. Im joined now by Beto Orourke and Bishop William Barber. Congressman, i want to start with you here. A recent story that just broke with Donald Trump. The Washington Post reports that trump repeatedly called his attorney at the time, rosen, To Push For his attorney general, i could say, the acting attorney general, To Push For probes of the 2020 election. This was happening almost daily. I have to tell you one of the challenges, i think, people attach this story to the Big Lie and say thats what fed into the Voter Suppression. A lot of us have been dealing with Voter Suppression a long time way before trump. What do you expect this march to accomplish to help further move this struggle along . I think a big reason that this march is happening in texas is that youre absolutely right, Voter Suppression existed long before this current attempt. In fact texas has become over the years the toughest state in the nation in which to vote. As Bishop Barber has reminded us, that is connected to the fact that we still have a 7. 25 an hour minimum wage, the fact that we are the least insured state in the united states of america, and the fact that so many millions of texans were eligible to vote in 2020 and yet could not very often because of those Voter Suppression obstacles placed in the way. And now there are new elections bills pending in texas that weve got to stop and we must pass the for the people act in the united States Senate so that we roll back this Voter Suppression and affirmatively understand that every eligible american should have and will have The Right to vote and participate in our democracy. So youre right, this preceded trump, but weve got to get it right now because what trump helped unleash during his presidency and the insurrection a little more than six months ago might very well consume this democracy unless we stand up and fight for it now. Bishop barber, i want to turn to you here. Adam serwer recently wrote a piece in The Atlantic where he essentially says democratic lawmakers are betraying black voters and many in the Democratic Party take black votes for granted because they believe that racism in the republican party gives those voters no viable alternative essentially. Do you agree that democrats are taking black voters for granted, especially because the White House has said, well, people will just outorganize Voter Suppression . What i believe is that this is not jim crow, this is james crow, esquire. When you look at these Voter Suppression bills across the country, theyre going after everybody, black folk, white folk, black folk, native, asian people, the disabled, women. Weve got to look at what this is. Now, race is certainly there, but its also connected to Power And Economics because the same people that are suppressing the vote, suppress living wages, suppress Health Care. So what democrats have to decide, you ran on this and said you were going to do this. You said you were going to deal with Voter Suppression and deal with living wages, those two things. Weve already seen the Filibuster Block living wages. Now we see it blocking Voting Rights. We must have end of the filibuster, passing the real John Lewis bill, the for the people act that he wrote. The voters right Act Restoration needs to be passed and 15 minimum wage. Otherwise we are abandoning the infrastructure of the democracy. And to get an Infrastructure Bill that fixes bridges but then you abandon the infrastructure of the democracy, which is voting, the bridge to all the other policies is backwards. And lastly to do an Infrastructure Bill in your last segment with all white people in the room right. And then try to make the Voting Issue just a black issue, no, its not just a black issue, its an american issue. Thats why you saw a diverse group of Folk Marching with us and on saturday well show up in austin and Nationalizing Texas to say pass this protection. Its a diverse coalition of people fighting for this. But then i look at folks like Senator Manchin, who is a holdup on ending the filibuster and whos been you know, he and sinema quite frankly have been holdups on some of those issues. Manchin was in your Neck Of The Woods for a fundraiser hosted by some wealthy republicans. You were in congress. What should the expectation of the federal government be . And if you were given a private audience with manchin, what would your advice to him be . He wants to be on The Right side of history. The people of the future are going to look back on those of us alive with the opportunity to do something about the erosion of Voting Rights and the very possible destruction of our democracy in 2021. I want them to be proud of us and the people that we are and the fight that were waging and the victory that we will win if we stand together and use that political majority that Senator Manchin is part of in the united States Senate and pass, as Bishop Barber said, the full for the people act. Automatic voter registration, Election Day a national holiday, getting dark money out of our politics and ending gerrymandering with independent redistricting commissions. This is really popular, especially in West Virginia. So lets get this thing passed and ensure that we have a democracy for our kids, for our grandkids and the generations that follow. It only happens if Senator Manchin, Senator Sinema Stick together with the other senate democrats and get this passed. By the way, tiffany, i think they could use a friendly push from the president. We saw in 1965 lbj used every single political muscle in his being to get that across the line. We need that from President Biden right now. Yeah, and before i turn it back to Bishop Barber, let me just ask you, congressman, can the democrats hold the house and the senate if we leave the Voter Suppression tactics all across the country in place . No. No. Bishop barber, your thoughts. Essentially its folks like you who will be on the Front Lines leading some of these campaigns and Voter Engagement drives. Do you think that the democrats can hold the power of the federal government if we leave things the Status Quo . I question can we even hold america. Thats how serious this is. The reality is biden only won by 40,000 cumulative votes in three states. He might have won by 7 Million total but can you litigate your way out of this . No. You cant mobilize your way out of this. You have to have federal protection like they marched from selma and montgomery and said we need federal protection today. We have to have federal action. Manchin has got to decide whether hes going to follow the u. S. Chamber of commerce or the u. S. Constitution. Now, he signed as a cosigner on this bill, but he did it when mcconnell was in office. He knew it wouldnt come to the floor. So 79 of West Virginians are against what he did. We marched on his office Black And White together and they said, wait a minute, youre wrong on this. We got arrested at sinemas office. It makes absolutely no sense that democrats are doing this. And the president needs to come to texas, come to arizona, come to West Virginia and then go to the well of the congress like lbj, kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and fdr. Absolutely. Well, we are way out of time but thank you so much congressman Beto Orourke and Bishop William Barber for all the work youre doing and for joining me tonight.

I say put Mental Health first because if you dont, then you are not going to enjoy your sport and you are not going to succeed as much as you want. Its okay sometimes to sit out the big Competition Toss Focus on yourself because it shows how strong of a Competitor And Person that you really are. By pulling out of her olympic competitions this week, Simone Biles considered the greatest gymnast of all time did something the World Isnt used to seeing from athletes. She focused on her own well being. As she told reporters, athletes are human, too. But our society really isnt used to seeing athletes, particularly black female athletes, as fully human. Some see them as pawns for their entertainment, as bodies that exist for the sole purpose of winning. So predictably biles faced Hr1 Isk Backlash from some on The Right who have never been great at anything. Charlie kirk called her a selfish sociopath. Another diminished her experience by saying she quit because she wasnt having fun. Zero concern for the fact that if biles wasnt in The Right Head Space as she phrased it, she could have been seriously injured. I am joined by Physician And Ceo of advancing health equity. Doctor, so happy to have you with me. I think this is an important conversation. So thank you for being here. I want to start out with this excellent article in the Washington Post that really talked about when, you know, the black woman sometimes being great is just not enough. The quote that struck me the most by Candice Buckner says you are not just representing you, you are representing a community. People who are criticizing her are great at nothing, have you know, its kind of ridiculous. They think when she pulls on her cape it can choke. Its one that exceptional black women have to deal with it all the time. What does it say about how athletes are treated, particularly black women . Right. So thank you so much for having me on, tiffany. So as we know and as you mentioned, Black Women Athletes really have to deal with both racism and sexism. They are already under a microscope. I think what simone did, what she really pushed back and rejected, this idea of the strong black superwoman, right . And saying that im human. I am not a superwoman. I need to take a break for my Mental Health. And by doing that she changed the rules. She changed the game and set up boundaries for herself, which i think is something we are going to see more of from this generation of athletes. You know, and we shouldnt forget she is also a survivor of Sexual Assault and still showed up after that to compete. I think its important to see people like Naomi Osaka prioritize her Mental Health and now we see Simone Biles. Its something to be said about normalizing rest, normalizing this is what dr. Grier used that quote, normalizing, prioritizing yourself. How do you think their decision will change the national conversation around everybody, not just black women, but everybody prioritizing their own Mental Health . I think the message that they are sending is both powerful and empowering. I think for too long, as you mentioned, Mental Illness has been stigmatized, especially the black community. They are talking openly about taking medications, needing to take Mental Health breaks, about doing, you know, whats right for themselves and prioritizing their own Mental Health, which is a medical issue. You know, we forget that. Just because you cant see the illness, because its not physical, its definitely still there. And by doing that these women are creating almost their own counter space. We talk about how black women need space to become undone. Well, they are creating their counter spaces by creating boundaries between what is required and expected of them and what they want. Particularly when you are carrying in a higher community, you know . Not just an individual but the whole community is uplifting you. This a question i have that i think a lot of people are experiencing. We collectively experienced something traumatic during covid, during the Social Justice movement, the black Lives Matter marches, seeing who look like you killed every day and even people who are outside the community, just said, battling Mental Health issues. For shoeks struggling, they may not be suicidal, they may just be having trouble managing life and maybe they dont have insurance, but they need something, what is your advice to folks who are a bit challenged . Right. And i am going to say that our systems are not set up to protect our most vulnerable. And so we need to do a better job of looking out for Each Other to make sure ensure that those resources are there. There are a number of hotlines out there for people who call if they are feeling depressed or suicidal, and, hopefully, we can get that information to them. But i think that this period, especially because we are still in crisis, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, and some someles are having more difficult experiences than others. It empha we have seen that the rates of depression and suicidal ideation among especially young black people has increased throughout this pandemic and we need to take care of Each Other. So there are resources out there. There are not enough. There are not enough psychologists and therapists of color. So i think what this current pandemic is exposing is the deep cracks and fissures in the system and we need to do a better job of taking care of Each Other. I couldnt agree more. I know there is a popular phrase that we say often, black girl magic. I have to tell people, just because were magic does not mean we are not real and have real problems. Absolutely. A good point to make. Thank so much, doctor. That was an amazing interview and great insight you provided for us. All right. Thats tonights reidout. All in with Chris Hayes starts right now. Tonight on all in i remember thinking there was a very good chance i would be torn apart or shot to death with my own weapon. We were all fighting for our lives. It was a war that we fought. Terrorists needed to break our defenses an shouting or attempting to convert us. The officers who defended the capitol mocked for their testimony. God save us from these thirdrate theatrics. Why even Police Officers are now fair game for The Rightwing media. Then why did you vet know on this bill which was on the floor of the house . How democrats are done with republican nonsense. And as masks return
