Campus of the university of Southern California this afternoon after Los Angeles Police cleared a pro palestinian encampment this morning. No arrest or violence were reported. Tensions have been running high on campuses across the country as administrators have tried to curtail protests ahead of commencement ceremony. Several schools have been compelled to alter or even cancel their Graduation Due to protest. Over the last two weeks more than 2,500 people have been arrested. President biden is likely to weigh in on the situation again on tuesday in a speech mocking Holocaust Remembrance Day as he calls on all americans to combat antisemitism even as many remain deeply divided over u. S. Support for israels war on hamas. Joining me now is congresswoman sydney kamlago. Thank you for joining us, congresswoman. We begin tonight with the demonstrations on our College Campuses including los angeles. We mentioned the clearing of university of Southern Californias campus this morning, which was carried out without incident by lapd. What are you hearing about how the situation was handled . Many of us, i certainly support the students protest, but say no violence. How are you hearing how it is being handled . Well thank you for having me on. We certainly have been monitoring the situation at usc, as well as ucla. I will say for a while the information coming out has been murky, distressing, and disjointed. We know for sure is that campuses should be safe places for students to learn and debate and also exercise Freedom Of Speech. They also have to be spaces that are free from discrimination against race, color, creed, national origin. I certainly cannot speak to the specifics about the every school situation, but i do know at usc, the encampment has dispersed, protests have dwindled as they are preparing for Commencement Exercises for next week and the university has put up a free speech zone, so that all protesting groups have the same opportunity to express themselves in the same spot. I think thats what is so important about title vi of the civil rights act, which is how you should be even and neutral, and how you allow students to debate, to lawfully and peacefully demonstrate, and to exchange ideas. Now you mentioned ucla. We are learning this afternoon that ucla would return to regular operations tomorrow. The New York Times analyzed hours of footage from violent clashes last week. They say the video show the count of protesters attacking students in a propalestinian encampment for hours using sticks, chemical sprays, and fireworks with little or no police intervention. As of friday, no arrests have been made in connection with the attacks. Are you confident that Law Enforcement is doing enough to deescalate these demonstrations and protect everyone on all sides of the violence . These were the counterprotesters that were against the palestinians that made these attacks . Well i believe Law Enforcement should be the last resort. Rules of engagement are incredibly important when you are talking about protests. What the administration should be clear about. What protesters should be clear about. And the Student Protesters should also be very vocal about outside agitators and those participating in the non violent student movement. I know that ucla has come under fire about the uneven application of Title Vi And Calling in Law Enforcement. I know they have Just Announced they are going go starting up in office, i think Public Safety or Community Safety to help address this on a go forward basis. There is also going to be tension between the First Amendment and expressing your right to demonstrate and have decent. But at the end of the day, the property must not be vandalized. Students should not be violated. So ucla will continue to answer these questions because the images that we saw were deeply concerning, and there has been information that has come out that has not really answered the questions that many of us have been asking. Now switching gears, today marks six months until election day. In the president ial race, a new poll from abc of all American Adults shows trump heeding biden by two points within the margin of error. However, when you look just at likely voters, the same poll will find biden ahead by four points. What are your thoughts with the election just half a year away . Well, i would like to remind people that polls are not voters and it is so important that we continue to talk to the voters in our district. And im also going to continue to say we have to show the receipts. The Biden Administration has been, i think, very forceful in carrying out the platform that he ran on in 2020. Hes there to cut Child Poverty in half. He has given 160 billion in Debt Forgiveness to over 4. 5 million borrowers. Just talking about looking at the marijuana schedule i classification. He has pardoned thousands of folks who have been convicted from marijuana possessions. He has been headstrong when it comes to making sure we have a very robust economy. He has been very intentional about making sure were appointing, you know, a very Diverse Group of judges to the bench. He has been pleading the way when it comes to climate change. We need to continue to talk about those things because those are things voters of my District Care about. Now the Biden Campaign team is leaning heavily on abortion as a galvanizing issues that hopes it will drive turnout if november. The ad touts the president as a defender of reproductive rights. While warning of further restrictions if trump wins in november. Now the black women facing disproportionate rate. Do you see it working as it is intended to . Yes, i do. We need to continue to talk about this issue. I represent constituents in california. In los angeles, we continue to see the pressure on our state because one in three women live in a state that has some kind of restriction on Abortion Care and reproductive care aspect. We are now criminalizing patients, providers, those trying to help patients seeking out Abortion Care. And these are values that are being upheld by this speaker. So we have to continue to talk about what is at stake. We started off talking about School Campuses and there are a lot of young women that are deciding where they could go to school, based on the abortion ban that is now popping up across the state. Over 80 of American Voters support access to Abortion Care. We have to continue to talk about it because if trump is re elected, we will most likely see a National Abortion ban. All right, congresswoman sydney kamlagerdove. Thank you for being with us tonight. Joining me now to continue the conversation, donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman from maryland, and carlos cabello, former congressman from florida. Both msnbc political analysts. Donna, yesterday during an rnc donor retreat at maralago, former President Trump compared the Biden Administration to the gestapo, the nazi police force. He also suggested some Democrats UseGovernment Jobs to gain votes. He gave these remarks in front of hundreds of people and no one spoke up. Whats reaction on this . I actually think what was being signaled there is from the Time Magazine piece that was well reported over this last week. Certainly some of the tactics that donald trump would employee in a second term are exactly that. Women who are pregnant in different states, monitoring them. These kinds of things are only done in a real License Stick because the kind of outrageous and extreme politician would sound that alarm. And that is what the president was doing. Now carlos, this morning on Meet The Press, senator tim scott refused to say whether he would hack at the present time the 2024 Election Results. Take a listen. Reporter well senator, would you commit to accepting the Election Results of 2024, bottom line . At the end of the day, the 47th president will be the president , donald trump. Im excited to give low inflation. Wait, wait, wait, senator, yes or no. Will you accept the Election Results of 2024 no matter who wins . That is my statement. But just yes or no. Will you accept the Election Results of 2024 . I look forward to President Trump being the 47th president. This comes as nbc news has exclusive reporting that the rncs lawyer will be stepping down just two months into the job with one thing saying, he was pushed out, because of past criticism of the theories. Are you concerned republicans will walk willingly into another election, falsely contested by trump . Maybe even another january 6 . It was sad to watch senate scott this morning because i know him. He voted to certify the 2020 election. He has rejected Donald Trumps lies in the past. But guess what . Hes auditioning for Vice President. So now he has become a different person, and it is a shame. Yes, donald trump demands absolute loyalty. That means there is only one acceptable result for him in the 2024 election. Anyone who entertains any possibility will be pushed out as it is a very talented lawyer was pushed out of the rnc. And so this is who donald trump is, and this is the kind of conduct that really turns off the switch voters that republicans need if they are going to win this election. Donna, what are your thoughts on what you saw tim scott do on Meet The Press this morning . I know tim scott as well. It really saddens me that tim scott along with a long rhett of officials are lining up behind donald trump by denying the Election Results and not committing to going along with the Election Results as they posted in november. So it is really sad these republicans are willing to cross it to themselves in the ability to get a nomination, a nomination as the Vice President for donald trump. Shame on them. Donna, let me ask you this on tuesday, President Biden will give a speak at a holocaust remembrance ceremony. It comes a week after speaking about the demonstrations over the war on gaza. Take a listen. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind whether it is antisemitism, islamophobia, or discrimination. There is no place for racism in america. It is all wrong. Its unamerica. What does he need to add to that message on tuesdays speech . First of all its important for the president both to give the speech on antisemitism because hes right. There is no place, any place in america for that kind of hatred. But i think it is also important for him to draw a real distinction between criticism of the Israeli Government and the conduct of the war and antisemitism. Because when those things get conflated, then i think everything goes awry. So if the president from his Vantage Point can be so affirmative in statements against antisemitism, that he also should draw that line and i think that it will help whats happening on College Campuses and to help administration figure out how to deal with both distinguishing hate speech and violent behavior from legitimate protest. Now carlos, congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene has said she plans to force a vote on House Speaker mike johnson this week. But House Democrats would vote to save speaker johnsons job. Do you believe the vote will happen . And if democrats have to step in, how could this impact the ability to govern as the majority . Its a positive development. Republicans and democrats have come together to marginalize these republicans. They are extremely selfish, and they have no interest in what the American People need and doing the peoples business. So this is a positive development no matter what [ inaudible ] we know its going to fail because House Democratic leadership committed to supporting johnson in an effort to marginalize these elements that have done so much damage to the institution of congress in recent years. Donna, what do you think about the possibility democrats may have to save the speaker and how does this impact republicans ability to govern Going Forward as a majority in the house . Well, i actually agree with carlos here. One of the things, Hakeem Jeffries says democrats are interested in governing. If that means putting together a coalition of even a majority of democrats with whatever number of republicans can be put together to move the country forward, that is the most important thing. So it is not a matter of saving his job. Its a matter of preserving the ability to govern. Donna edwards and carlos cabello, thank you both for being with us tonight. This month were rising up to confront a serious issue affecting the lives of tens of thousands of black americans. And yet far too many suffer in silence. Well tell you what it is next.

While Mental Illnesses can impact anyone from all walks of life, it is an especially difficult problem in the African American community. While it can contribute to Mental Health problems such as poverty, systemic racism, and intergenerational trauma. Just 25 of black people seek treatment compared to 40 of whites. Unequal access to care is a major reason why. Black americans are twice as likely to have no Health Insurance as white americans. Even for those who are insured, coverage for Mental Illnesses is far less generous than physical ailments. And there is also the issue of stigma. Some African Americans wrongly believe seeking help is a sign of weakness and the black Mental Health is often demonized and criminalized in our culture and media. In my capacity as president of the National Action network, ive eulogized young black men who are having mental episodes right before they were killed. Ive offered one that they might have survived if they had received the treatment they needed. It is important to know there are Resources Available to help people cope. And begin the Journey TowardsMental Illness and the first step is asking for support. There is no shame in seeking out help. On the personal level, we must rise up and prioritize self care and cultivate a culture of empathy and understanding for one another. On the national level, we must fight for equal and adequate access to Mental Health<
