we got two justice systems in america, one for white america and one for black america. we can't have that. i think today is definitely the starting point. it's change that's long overdue in this country. this can go all the way back to rodney king. as my uncle said, a blind man can see this. a blind man could see that's murder. despite anything they say about my uncle, that was murder. so either they weren't trained or qualified to do their job or they intended on taking his life. either way we need justice. i think throughout this whole trial, that's one word you will hear me and my family say a lot. justice. somebody needs to be held accountable. >> yes, sir. >> you mean to tell me if he didn't encounter derek chauvin that day, he would have still died? >> no, no! >> anybody out here standing out here today believe that, there's still a problem in america. a problem that needs to be addressed and addressed today. >> yes, sir. >> we can't get george floyd back, but what we can do is make sure that no family feels this pain and suffering we feel. his daughter won't have

when we buy america, we'll buy from all of america. that includes communities that have historically been left out of the government procurement -- black, brown, native american, small businesses and entrepreneurs in every region of the country. we'll use a network of manufacturers called a manufacturing extension partnership. that's in all 50 states and puerto rico to help the government agency connect with new domestic suppliers across the country. this is a critical piece of building or economy back better, including everyone in a deal this time, eye specially small businesses that are badly hurting in this economy. the executive action i'm taking also reiterates my strong support for the jones act and american vessels. you know, our ports, especially those important for america's clean energy future and the development of offshore renewable energy. i'll close with this. the reason we need to do this is america can't sit on the sidelines in the race for the future. our competitors aren't waiting. to ensure the future is made in amer

, because there is an old america and there is a new america, and the new america and the old america essentially went to war in 2020, physically in the same capitol. new america won. because new america got 80 million votes and old america got 72 million votes. and we're still basically at war. and you have a new president now who wants to declare peace. it is really incredibly fascinating to me how history moves because we do have sort of another person trying to do what lincoln did, trying it again, and we're going to take a second shot at trying to end this civil war, you know, between an america that feels that some people are captors and some are captives and an america that, you know, grant believed in, you know, and that the radical republicans believed in in lincoln's time. we have to try to do this again. god bless joe biden. this is truly deeply religious man with incredible compassion, and he's got a great partner in kamala harris, you know, who's a stepmom, you know, and sort of accessible kind of human being that you can recognize. this is new america. and i hope new ame

we believe anything is possible in america. anything is possible in america. i think about my own family's journey here, at least two-thirds of it came from a ship in the irish sea back in 1849. having no idea whether they would make it across the atlantic to the united states and to the united states of america. but certain if they did, they could do better. and they did. they did better and they eventually built a life and raised a family in scranton, pennsylvania, over generations. here i stand on the shoulders and sacrifices of my great, great-grandfather, my great-grandfather and just all that they did because they believed. they believed, like you believe. anything is possible. just want to thank you all for choosing us and i mean that sincerely. thank you for choosing the united states of america. believing that america is worthy of your aspirations, worthy of your dreams. making this journey you've done more than move to a new place. and i've often said that america is the only nation in the world founded on an idea. every other nation in the world is

, a more just america, a more just america where breonna taylor gets an opportunity to sleep in peace at night without the police busting in her front door. a more just america where ahmaud arbery gets to run free and not be lynched for jogging while black. a more just america where jacob blake and anthony mcclain and walter scott and all these other black men, terrence who was shot in the back while running away like daunte wright was just a week ago because for some reason black men running away from the police is more dangerous than young white men who commit mass murdered and walk towards the police with an assault weapon like kyle rittenhouse in kenosha, wisconsin. america, let this be the precedent. let this be the precedent where we live up to the high ideals and the promises where we say liberty and justice for all. those sun kissed children are included in all. those children who overcame slavery, the jim crow and his much, smarter, wiser son jim crow jr. esquire. let this be the precedence where we overcome systemic racism and oppression and that we are a better people and w

but you say, no, we're four americas, smart america, real america, just america. break it down for us. >> obama tried to say we're just one america and he got the back of the hand of the other half. so it's been tried and failed, joe, but my analysis is that we are certainly two countries, but those two countries are each split into two. start with free america, which is reagan's america, libertarian america, low taxes, deregulation, turn business loose, get government out of the way. it's been the dominant political idea of my adult life. it had a run in the '80s, the '90s, but did not create widespread prosperity. in fact, i think it helped create a lot of inequality that we live with today. smart america is the america of the professional class, the educated, the americrats, and that class, which starts with the belief that we all have a unique task has become a kind of aristocracy, where children are born into the meritocracy and their ticket is already punched before they've even been tested. real america is trump's america, the right-wing populist america of

so america has always been, either we have kind of these fragile human beings or america continues to participate, is a pretty monstrous thing. and i don't see anything changing like, we ask for justice, and they give us a three-day weekend. >> yeah. firm, but fair. >> and time and a half. >> yeah, no, you're absolutely right. what do you make of the irony that you have now a whole movement, they call it critical race theory, they don't know what critical race theory is. but their core argument is don't undermine our own sense of our own past perfection, the perfection of our side. the slave owners, the confederate soldiers, we need them to be innocent. don't ever try to paint us with a broad brush. but, by the way, we're going to paint you with a broad brash. all y'all are -- so they don't want to be painted with the broad brush of slave owners, but they're basically doing, as you said, painting black people with the broad brush of anything bad this they could think of. >> even, you're telling -- you're telling teachers that they can't teach about slavery. but yet we have a juneteent

america isn't hatfields and mccoys, blood feud forever. america is a union. there's a lot that's broken in this country, but anything that's so big that the american people can't rebuild it, that freedom and community and entrepreneurial effort and that neighborhoods can't rebuild. nothing that's broken is so big that we can't fix it. generations of our forefathers and our foremothers, our ancestors have spilled blood to defend the glories of this republic. why would they do that? because america is the most exceptional nation in the history of the world and because the constitution is the greatest political document that's ever been written. most governments in the past have said might makes right, and we saw some of that nuttery today. might makes right. no, it doesn't. god gives us rights by nature, and government is just our shared project to secure those rights. america has always been about what we choose to do together, the way we reaffirm our constitutional system. we've got some governmental tasks and we all in this body could do better at those gove

america is tired. america is sick. america has seen a lot of people suffer. and america has suffered a lot of loss. so this is not something that i expected would be welcome news. it was certainly not something that i wanted to do. but my job is to protect the safety and health of the american people. so this is what i felt we had to do with the new science that was given to us. i am definitely masking more now. >> dr. walensky, thanks for your time tonight. dr. rochelle walensky is the director of the cdc. we appreciate you being here. >>> when we come back, we'll hear more from today's harrowing testimony about the storming of the capitol, including words i never thought i would hear uttered in a congressional hearing, said for a powerful reason. stay with us. are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort? taking align every day can help. align contains a quality probiotic developed by gastroenterologists. it adds more good bacteria to your gut to naturally help soothe your occasional bloating, gas

america is, of course, a country born of violence. that's true of most countries, they're born of violence. it's born specifically to violence of subjugation, the violence of slavery and the violence of jim crow and the violence of segregation, and we live with that set of institutions and traditions. it feels sometimes like it is just overwhelmingly difficult as an undertaking to change all that. that's because it is. but all the more reason why it's worth pursuing. josey duffy rice focusses on the criminal justice system and host of the podcast "justice in america" and she joins me now. josey, i think oftentimes in the discourse the high levels of interpersonal violence in the united states and police violence are played off each other in a weird way. this false choice of, oh, you want -- you know, if the police retreat, well, then, people are going to shoot each other. as opposed to being i think it is part of the same story how violent this country is. right now it feels particularly bad. how do you see it? >> yeah, i think that's

this is a necessity. >> so much of america needs to be rebuilt. we've got crumbling roads and bridges, a power grid that wastes too much energy. democratic and republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody. >> this congress must act to encourage conservation, promote technology, build infrastructure, and it must act to increase energy production at home so america is less dependent on foreign oil. >> notice how the crowd behind the president gets more and more diverse every year? that's progress. biden's pitch comes at a time when the country is slowly emerging from forced hibernation due to the covid-19 pandemic. georgia is no coincidence. a month ago georgia governor brian kemp signed one of the most restrictive bills in the country, after they handed the keys to the white house and the senate. we have ufatt and clinton cane campaigns. i'll begin with you. joe biden makes a beeline for georgia right after his speech to congress. what does this say about georgia's place not just with democrats, but really the whol

america is back. diplomacy is back. i think the big news out of all this today is ending the war on yemen. ending all u.s. support for the war in yemen. i think that will have a set of ripple effects across the board. not only in yemen itself but also for relations with saudi arabia, which of course has fwakd war in yemen along with the united arab emirates and of course, iran, on the other side of that equation. and that's something that may end up helping biden in negotiations to try to reenter the iran nuclear deal. so quite a few things that biden is trying to do at once. i think one thing with all of this is that there are no surprises in this speech. and that's a good thing. we've just gone through an era of too many surprises. i think for many of us who have been listening and watching biden's remarks over the last year but also those of his foreign policy team, the question is how? how will you do all these things? how will you have america reengage with the world in a way that world leaders find credible and la

he said he hoped that america could get back to being that again. so a really interesting, fascinating speech by the president, former president bush. he also said that america not only faces danger from extremists abroad, but he said there was also evidence that we faced danger from violence within. he clearly made a link between extremists abroad and extremists inside the u.s., and that was a real warning from the former president. >> yeah, i thought that was an unprecedented speech. i was talking about it with clint watts, dan, a little earlier. he said it was, quite honestly, the best speech he had heard on terrorism in quite sometime from the former president, being so pointed about where to lay blame when it comes to the rise of domestic terrorism in this country. i think for so long part of the conversation has been pointing the finger abroad, the threat abroad, and finally bringing it home and understanding and driving home that, no, there is a threat certainly within this country that still exists, that is on par or on level to what we saw

companies and organizations to help central america. finding help is one thing. working with countries with a history of corruption another. as she told telemundo's jose diaz-balart earlier this month. >> reporter: how can you get rid of corruption when dealing with governments with corruption? >> that's one of the topics i raised in my travels and you're right. when we talk about corruption, it is an issue and a concern i expressed very clearly, my concern about an independent judiciary, about the independence of the press, about the independence of the ngos, the nonprofit organizations who are advocating for people who need support. i have made it also very clear during this trip and before that if we are going to maximize the capacity of american ceos in the private sector, which i'm bringing together, or the united states government to invest and to support the region, then we have to address the issue of corruption because it is actually a deterrent to the -- to involvement. we want to make sure that any resources that we contribute to that region end up in

if we get it right, america will be able to lead the world. if we don't, we'll see thing we didn't think were possible in the united states of america, people burning furniture for warmth in the united states of america, that is just not supposed to happen. >> now the situation in texas right now isn't specifically related to transportation and yet it's clear you are deeply engaged and ready to help, which leads me to a question about senator ted cruz, who also is not directly responsible for what's happening and yet his decision to leave the state in the middle of a crisis struck a enough with many americans. what lessons can we learn with senator cruz's behavior as we move ahead? >> i can't speak to his decisions, but what i can say is if he and the people of texas need anything, he or any texas official is welcome to reach out to the department of transportation. we're in touch with fema, doing anything we can to be part of the solution. this is one of those moments that requires all hands on deck to be there to help. >> from conversations

called the buy america act. it is supposed to make sure that when your government spends your tax dollars in buying goods that they have to be goods that were built, purchased in america. but the previous administration didn't take it so serious and previous ones and not just the last one, and quick to say, you know, we have a lot of money to spend, and we have to buy, and the government is going to buy everything from buildings to aircraft carriers to trucks to whatever it is. but we can't find an american company that can do it all. so we are going to have to issue a waiver. we'll hire the american company, but that american company is going to have a subsidiary overseas where non-americans work and it is much cheapered and they can make more money, and they are going to say that we have to have that as part of the chain of building the product. the result has been tens of billions of dollars did don't to jobs and businesses and communities like this one. in recent years, buy america has become a hollow promis

hughley's new book, "how to survive america". he exposes racism and inequity that minorities encounter on a day-to-day basis and explains how deeply ingrained it is in our society. unfortunately, obama was not the end of racism in america because all the obamacare in the world couldn't fix america's main pre-existing condition, racism. racism is america's chronic illness and white supremacy, not black inferiority, is the cause. joining me is my old friend, d.l. hughley, actor, activist and the original king of comedy. it is great to see you. last time you and i talked you had covid and you have recovered beautifully from it. >> well, you know, juneteenth, for a lot of people it's a federal holiday. for me, i was on any ass in nashville. it's the day i passed out. it feels like a long time ago, but so much has happened from that time until now. >> yes, a lot has. i want to get to a few specific things you note in your book. one of the things you talk about, the threat of police in the book because that's one of the big things that
