tonight, my heart is heavy as i reflect upon what was meant to be a weekend of hope. now unhinged with a tragedy. thousands of us marched on washington yesterday for racial justice. the right to vote, the right to choose, the right to live free from gun violence. just hours later, the country's suffered yet another hate motivated shooting. this time, jacksonville, florida. police say the white gunman who shot and killed three black people before turning the gun on himself had swastikas drawn on his rifle. the to hack is a grim reminder of why we called the march a continuation, not a commemoration. no dream dr. martin luther king spoke of the 60 years ago on the national mall cannot co exist along the nightmare that unfolded yesterday afternoon in florida. joining me now, congresswoman ayanna pressley, democrat of massachusetts. congresswoman, thank you for being with us. i must begin tonight with your reaction to the races smashing in jacksonville. as we mentioned, it left three black people dead. police say the gunman was very active posting anti black in antisemitic sentiments and the massacre is now being investigated as a federal hate crime. president biden, who will be meeting with the eking family and civil rights leaders on tomorrow or on the 16th anniversary of the march on washington put out a statement this afternoon saying white supremacy has no place in america. for his part, florida governor ron desantis also said this afternoon targeting people by their race has no place in florida. he was quick to condemn the shooter as a coward and a scumbag. i would be remiss if i did not point out the rise of hateful attacks, such as the one in recent years, has coincided with government desantis and others trying to erase black history. trying to eliminate affirmative action and diversity programs from schools and workplaces. and also condemning black lawmakers, such as yourself, as anti-american. simply for holding your views differing from their own. your thoughts, congressman? >> first, reverend, i want to say, i appreciate the leadership and grateful for the thousands that came together yesterday in front to the racial injustice. to the hate, to the violence that persists. you are exactly right. this is about continuation and not commemoration. and i do want to express my condolences to the ladera family, the car family and the gallant family. certainly there has been an -- anti black rhetoric. it has resulted in anti black violence and loss of life and it's why we must continue to be vigilant and unrelenting in our efforts. call out those that are complacent or active participants in trafficking this hate it's a matter of life and death. >> we just spoke a little bit about the demonization of lawmakers of color. republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy campaigning and iowa on friday called you and author ibrahim kennedy, quote, modern grand wizards of the modern kkk, and of quote. since then, he has continually doubled down on those comments. saying that based on comments you and kennedy have made, the two of you are the anti -- anti-racist movement. frankly, it would make the grand lizards of the ku klux klan, quote, proud. what is your response? especially on a weekend when we are reminded of the deadly impact this kind of hateful rhetoric and have? this >> reverend al, the verbal assault lobbied against myself and kennedy is shameful. it's deeply offensive, it's dangerous. it is not that long ago that we were upstaged by images of white supremacist carrying tiki torches in charlottesville. it was not that long ago that a white supremacist mob sees the capitol. waving confederate flags and erecting nooses on the west lawn of the capital. and one of my childhood memories that is deeply embedded, my ancestors and family members have been brutalized and lynched and raped by the ku klux klan. i recall when my family member had moved into a predominantly white cul-de-sac in the 80s when i was a child. we had across burned in our lawn. so,, for me as a deeply shameful and offensive and dangerous as his words are, he is not occupying any real estate in my mind. i remain squarely focused on the arc of undoing the centuries of harm that has precisely been done to black americans. charting a path of two restored of justice and racial justice forward. >> congresswoman, as you know, a central theme on the march is pushing the country to make good on the promises it made to lack americans going back to president abraham lincoln. continuing today. ahead of the, march you called on five of our u.s. banks to provide updates on some 32 billion dollars in racial equity pledges. they made after george floyd's murder. the surge of anti racist sentiment that followed. jp morgan chase, bank of america, u.s., bank wells fargo have until october 23rd to provide you with a comprehensive financial audit report. detailing where those commitments currently stand. what response have you gotten thus far from the financial community? >> reverend al, we haven't received any response from the banks as of yet. in our letter, we called for a comprehensive financial audits accounting for where these tens of billions of dollars have gone. what the impact it has been. any updates on any pledges that were made by october 23rd. as you said, this moment is about continuation. so, this is a continuation of the work that i've been doing since i was elected to congress on the financial services committee. that is the oversight of our banking industry. reverend,. all you know all too well that our banks, the financial industry, have been coconspirators. accomplices in the work of racial injustice, whether you're talking about redlining, denying access to credit loans for small businesses for entrepreneurs and for harm buyers. the practice of redlining. they have been accomplices. the work of racial injustice in creating a racial wealth gap. so, they must be now in this moment intentional in their partnership. i'm simply looking for accountability for the promises that were made. now that the hashtags are no longer trending, before the paint fades on the closets that were painted black lives matter, what are the receipts? pledges and promises were made. press releases went out. so, where are we? >> we will stay on that issue with you. finally, you signed on to a letter with 90 other congressional democrats calling on president biden to do more to address our nation's student debt crisis. your letter proceeded the one year anniversary of the presidents pledge to counsel $10,000 in federal student debt for some 43 million borrowers who pledged -- that was struck down by the conservative supreme court. i believe this was in june. in response, the administration just announced a new income driven payment plan for borrowers. a safe plan. you and your massachusetts colleagues senator elizabeth warren have praise the plan. , the senator has cautioned republicans are already trying to repeal the relief. what more can you tell us. we are out of time. i had to ask about it. be brief. >> all i can say is that inaction is not an option. even when we have a corrupt supreme court that seeks to obstruct progress and meaningful relief because constituents, my family and friends, many are in financial panic about what it will mean if this relief does not come quickly. particularly in light of the fact that payments will resume in the fall. >> thank you for being with us, congresswoman ayanna pressley. let's turn back to yesterday's shooting in jacksonville, florida. now, the and investigated as a hate crime. joining me now is reverend frank reid, bishop frank reid, bishop at the african methodist church in jacksonville, florida. bishop read, thank you for being with us. you and i go back decades in this kind of more. the mayor of jacksonville pointed out that the shooting came on the five year anniversary of another shooting at a gaming tournament in the city. yesterday's gunman was inspired by that 2018 shooting. all right we were marching against hate and washington yesterday. to start with your support and blessings on the march, tell me how the community in jacksonville is doing? i saw that two pairs are taking place today. how are people coping with this tragedy? >> people are coping through prayer. through supporting one another in positive conversations, and in planning. planning for where we go from here? to use doctor king's fourth and final book that he wrote. seeing the chaos as an opportunity to redeem the soul not only on florida but to redeem the signal of america. >> the jacksonville sheriff has said that the 21-year-old shooter intended to kill black people. the shooting comes just a day before the 63rd anniversary of jacksonville's most infamous racist incident. known as ex handle saturday. it also comes at a time when there is been a considerable debate surrounding the teaching of black history in florida schools. now, in my capacity as the action network, i've come to the state to demonstrate against changes being made to the curriculum. which you supported as the bishop, roofs and homes had been out front. are there any lessons you can think can be drawn from this tragedy that could be applied to how we talk about race in this country? and in your state. >> i think as congresswoman just said, in christian vernacular, death and life is in the power of the -- i think we have to look not only at the words and the rhetoric, we have to look at the policies. the way we change those policies is to use this tragedy as a time of transformation to begin to plan for the 2024, the election in 24. to begin to plan on how we take back public education boards throughout our state and throughout the nation. so we can change these reactionary policies. now, witnesses say the deceased gunman the scene earlier in the day at the waters university. a historically black college wearing a ballistic vest before he was asked to leave. headed to the dollar tree. officials also shed voters early shooters rifle, adorned with racist rhetoric and symbols, including swastikas. antisemitic. a recent fbi report on hate motivated violence released and march of this year reported that the number of hate crimes reported in the u.s. rose between 2020 and 2021. has reached the highest level since the government began tracking the crimes in the early 90s. jacksonville is a city that is 30% black. what do you think is fueling the rise of hate crimes and extremist violence, bishop? >> he white supremacist language. before i go on, statistics, the number of white domestic terrorist groups have grown in florida and nationally during the same period of time. so, i think that it is time for you and the national action network, reverend barber, to join with local pastors in the state of florida. we are going to call fast this week. we can fast and pray for these families that have lost level ones. at the end of the week, come up with a plan to address these policies and these issues together. as you in the continuation, as you know, continuation yesterday, and takes a team to achieve the dream. to gather, we want to put together a plan. rooted and player and -- so we can cast out this systemic demon of white supremacy. >> i committed to doing. just give me the details. one last question. jacksonville county sheriff's office said that there was not a red flag that could have come up to stop the shooter from purchasing guns. it appears they purchased and possess guns legally. we've seen many local leaders like yourself speaking out. and i will be talking to more faith leaders in the coming days. i delivered a sermon today at howard university against dressing the tragedy. your thoughts on what can be done to curb the violence we witnessed yesterday. -- calling on faith leaders to do it. >> we have to ask not only a reasonable gun law. we also must pass the john lewis voting rights act. and i think reverend al, in the bible, you know it talks about -- when god says today that after the enemies have taken everything from and burned everything, god says to gain a pursuit. i think we need to have a cover all plan. we need to recover voting rights. we need to recover gun laws that keep our people and our children and our neighbors safe. as we do that, i think we will see a change. we will have confronted and called out the demon of white racism, as you know, it is a mental disease. we will redeem the soul of america. >> thank you so much, always an honor to speak with the bishop frank reid. he is in jacksonville, florida. coming up, as we mark the 16th anniversary of the march on washington, an exclusive look on how vice president kamala harris keeps the dream alive as she works each day. a special item she keeps close to inspire her. first, my colleague jessica layton back in new york with other top news stories. >> thank you reverend al. a lot to get to. thank y>> stories we are watch. new details in the racially motivated shooting yesterday in jacksonville that you are just talking about. the jacksonville county sheriff says the entire incident lasted about 11 minutes. the guns used by the shooter or told were obtained legally. the victims in yesterday's shooting have been identified as 52-year-old angelo michel car, 19 year old aj look air junior, and 29 year old gerald to sean galleon. officers also identified the shooter as 21-year-old ryan christopher bell matter and they said they found a suicide note on his laptop. another, news florida governor ron desantis has declared a state of emergency ahead of tropical storm adalja. forecast to make landfall as a category two heart came earlier this week. and a press conference, governor desantis says the brunt of the storm could hit the big bend region of the florida panhandle. he warned residents to take the

carbs in every delicious serving, you've got the green light. better starts with breyers. politicsnation. let's turn to my political panel. maya rocky moore, cummings democratic strategist and jennifer horn. cofounder of the lincoln project. jennifer, it's going to be a busy week for former president donald trump and his codefendants. the federal and state election interference case. mark meadows, trump's former chief of staff will argue to have the trial transferred from state to federal court. georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, and his former lead investigator francis watson have been subpoenaed to testify and the venue change hearing. and then in washington, the judge overseeing trump's federal case, arguments regarding a trial date. additionally, ex trump white house official beetle navarro will have a hearing as his lawyers -- following presidential orders when refusing to comply with the subpoena from the january 6th select committee. this near daily flurry of legal activity surrounding trump and his allies seem to have become the new normal even as he continues his campaign for the presidency. what impact do you expect this to have if any on the 2024 race? >> well, first of, all thank you for having me here this afternoon, reverend al. i can't help but have an impact on it. head-on think it will be the kind of impact that it people expected to have. we saw that the day that donald trump was arraigned and his mugshot was released, he raised millions of dollars. i forget how hyatt. got $4 million, $7 million. his supporters love this stuff. they are going to be voting for it. they voted for this kind of behavior. when his -- when donald trump's coconspirators talked about wanting to move their cases to federal court because they were just following orders from the president, i find that to be a statement. it sounds like they're acknowledging the crimes committed by donald trump. they are acknowledging that some sort of federal crime had been committed here. i think we all have to stop trying to look at this through a lens of, like, it's just any other presidential campaign. we how this impact that. how will this debate push one candidate forward. we are living in unprecedented times. the influence that donald trump and his so-called legal woes are having not just on this campaign, on our democracy, our immeasurable. >> now, as jennifer just mentioned, trump's already infamous mugshot seem to have prompted a surge in the primaries. trump officials said that he has raised seven point $1 million spent his booking photo was released. on friday, trump brought in more than $4 million. making a single biggest 24 hour period of his campaign to date. what is your reaction to this? >> trump is turning his legal woes into the greatest reality show on earth. literally, his space is there for. they are there for every single part of it. now, they view trump as their great white hope. they view the 2024 elections as trump's last stand. you know, the research shows that when white people are actually shown the data on the nations changing demographics, they all move to the right. that's especially so so people who are high in the conservative realm. they become radicalized. and it doesn't matter that all their former claims of law and order and the willingness to support a man who's been accused of crimes and has been tried under rico statutes as mafia dons, they are willing to support him. we should never listen to them again if they say that they are standing for law and order. they are also not standing for the constitution. let me ask you, this, mild let's turn to the tragedy in jacksonville. authorities say a white gunman shot and killed three black people before taking his own life. florida governor ron desantis showed his campaign in iowa to return this state in the wake of this incident and as a tropical storm bears down on florida. this is what he said earlier today. >> florida, the state and its people condemn the horrific racially motivated murders perpetrated by a deranged scumbag in jacksonville at the dollar general store. perpetrating violence of this kind is unacceptable, and targeting people due to the race has no place in the state of florida. >> now, what was missing from these comments for me was any self-reflection on his own racial politics, including his attacks on african america history costs or diversity programs. in his opinion, should he have said more? >> i think he should just be quiet, talking about going home and deranged scumbag, let me just say this, he did not out-law or threaten latino history, he did not outlaw or -- history. he focused on african american history, and for then to turn around and talk about this gunman and a deranged scumbag for targeting people based on race, well, governor desantis, if the shoe fits. let me just tell you this, governor desantis has been part of the permission structure that allowed the shooting to occur. by creating an environment where racism is tolerated, where homophobia is tolerated, all of the things he's been doing he's been doing to elevate himself with his republican party. we should know that that is giving aid and comfort to anyone who wants to go out there and commit hate crimes. so, governor desantis is not actually his hands are not clean on this. >> all right, jennifer let me say this, polling suggests governor desantis remains the most popular alternative to trump as republican presidential nominee. tragedies like this can serve as a test for candidates to show whether they can show leadership and in night even those who might not support them. have you seen any signs from desantis so far to suggest he could pass that test? briefly please. >> absolutely none. i would take a step forward than what maya said. governor desantis has built his campaign on racist policies. whether you are talking about the fact that he wants to use lethal force against people of color, trying to seek asylum in united states, trying to teach slavery in their schools as if it was not an imprint to ship program. mandating asian pacific american education while trying to eliminate african american -- showing up at the scene of a tragedy which of cured yesterday is the bare minimum expected from the executive of the state. governor desantis has done nothing to show leadership or build unity. >> all right we'll, have to leave it there, thank you maya rocking more and jennifer. coming up, the tragedy in jacksonville was a reminder of why we march.

there yesterday that left three blocks dead. joining me now is jonathan greene ceo and national director of anti defamation league. and attorney clients -- the former and advisor and speech writer for a close friend of -- junior. you are looking at the jacksonville florida at the moment the. vigils being held for victims there yesterday. jonathan, as we look at the 60th anniversary which you co-convened, and would you help to really mobilize the diversity we saw. one of the things that we saw was and the attack on blacks. it was a swastika drawn. so, there was also the antisemitism as well as the racism. one of the things that martin luther king day third -- have emphasized is most people that are antisemitic are also racist and vice versa, and latinas lgbtq which is why we wanted for this continuation to emphasize that were against all hate crimes, not knowing what we are marching yesterday, a hate crime was actually being done in jacksonville. >> the irony is not lost on me that we had black and white latinos and natives and apis shoes and christians and muslims and seeks and hindus, young and old -- all marching. yet, this tragedy was unfolding at the very same time. it reminds us that domestic extremism literally targets all of us. if they are coming for you, rev, they are coming for me as well. look, our hearts go out to the community in jacksonville. i think we need to pray for the families, but we also need to keep in mind that this in some ways is a surprise. we have seen over 440 extremist murders in the past decade, 75% have -- right wing extremist and florida alone we've seen over a dozen extremist related murders in the past five years. >> now, one of the things that was said yesterday is dealing with also gun violence that arms these people. clarence jones it's great to have you on, you are 60 years ago helped dr. king actually act a march on washington and here you are 60 years later hearing words that -- 92 years old. >> 92, and still got pep in your step. you help with the speech -- >> let's talk about it. >> one of the things that people want to know is that you said to me you reached out to me and said if you are going to have this commemoration, it's got to be done across the line for everybody. that's what dr. king would've wanted, that's what we would've wanted. i have to explain to you, we know jonathan greene and -- said oh, if that is the case, i'm coming and i thought you well. that's what you said. >> let me just say, i think that lesson that presses on me more than any other time in 60 years, just to summarize, is that the -- the made possible for martin king to be successful and he was brilliant he was courageous, but let me tell you what the facts are. there is no way that 12% of the population, we're going to jump in cartwheels all we wanted, talk about what we want to achieve unless we could get the substantial part, 80% population. my math is right. 80% the population. i need to say, martin, we need to find out that part of the population to cut to the chase. so, i'm not a bashful person. i see these white people and i'm like why are you here? the inevitable repetitive response i would say 90% of responses go something like this, dr. johns we're here because this is what my grandpa and my grandma were watching, what does that mean. you see dr. john adjusted dr. jones, you see mr. jones you see they died in holocaust. yes, they would want me to -- i'm here with you and dr. king you go tell your doctor kink i am doing this in honor of my grandpa and grandma. >> wow. i remember when i was a teenager and you help my youth group out. you always talk to us about rabbi -- who -- . >> jonathan, -- >> the past -- and the shooting of jacksonville looming over both, in my view was donald trump's rest atlanta over the state racketeering charges and fani willis who has been receiving racist death threats for months, proceeding her indictment of trump, who has verbally been attacked willis and other black prosecutors and judges for resigning over investigations of former presidents been attacked by him. trump's georgia trial we get in march next year. i'm do spectroscopy to a point of violence from this point? >> look, when you demonize a group of people because of the way they look or how they play or the race they happen to play, we shouldn't be surprised when dehumanizing language lisa dehumanizing acts. so i, am very worried that adl, we're talking intensification of -- rhetoric. it's being pounded and pounded again from true social, now from twitter or ex whatever they call it this week, and were real nervous. i think we need strength and numbers. this is why with dr. jones has done, and what you have done frankly, is so crucial. think about it, two and a half years ago there was a group of people who came together and it did an insurrection on that small. yesterday, and people came and we did a resurrection on that small. that is using andrea's kings phrase. it was a resurrection of values like decency and humanity and tolerance and respect for one another. so, we are going to need to dig deep and we're going to need to revise those it's the coalition. >> like i said at the march that i hope they do a split screen showing january six insurrection and the other side showing what we did yesterday. after we got everyone from one of the trees because it was so hot, tens of thousands marching together, not one incidents. let me say this, i'm out of time but, dr. jones, one of the things that i think is very important that you've always raised is a question of making sure we keep our values right. it was a moral movements. and, i know you have a new book out that is coming out called the last of the alliance. in the book, to talk a lot about values? >> i want to repeat, i am here, chairman of the board of something called -- foundation. it is the devoted self to talking about the lines the alliance between the black and jewish community. i do not, i can't repeat enough god knows i love martin, god -- all the people, i love all the labor people. but, i am telling you what made this brilliant man martin king so successful. i'm a tell you what made him so successful. the supports from the american jewish community. i want, as long as i have a breath in my body, i want everyone to think omar to king i loved him, but he could, the reason he was successful to be repetitive is because of the support the 20 47 support we got from the american jewish community. i happen to believe that one of the reasons there is this intensive resurrection of antisemitism is that our people they are the people who hate us they knew that. the people who were trying to kill jews today and hate us, they know -- >> they got a lot of hate to go around, muslims, and lgbtq. i am out of time. good to have you back, we'll talk about. it thank you jonathan greene black and attorney clarence jones.
