Trump pleaded not guilty, and 11 of his codefendants waived their right the appear in court. Meanwhile key witness, former white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows is waiting to hear if his georgia case will move up to federal court, and the Georgia Special grand jury report is set to be released on friday. Trump, by the way, is fundraising like crazy off his mugshot. I want to know who are those people who give money to the socalled billionaire so he can cover his legal expenses. Oh, and in case you were wondering, a recent Wall Street Journal poll of republicans put trumps support a stunning 46 higher than the secondplace ron desantis. And in our nations capitol, congress will begin to work in washington on tuesday with just a few more days until another possible government shutdown. After the black caucus announced Black Americans are being attacked nationwide and blaming republicans as leading these efforts. Thats where we start today. Of course, joining me now is the chair of the black caucus, congressman stephen harsford, democrat of nevada. Congressman, the chairman of the black caucus announced last week Black Americans are being attacked in various ways nationwide with republicans leading the efforts. You spoke at the state of the black american precedent. You spoke at the capitol in washington and spoke at several state gop state legislatures who have intensified your concerns, you said. Police elaborate. Reverend sharpton, it ee great to be with you. Congratulations to you and to the king family for the continuation march, the 60th Anniversary march on washington last saturday. It was definitely the impetus for the work that continues, and with your leadership and the leadership of so many other civil rights leaders, we are going to realize dr. Kings dream. As you know, the attacks on everything from our democracy to womens rights to make Health Care Decisions about their own bodies, to the attacks on blackness with the latest from ed bloom and his alliance dealing with the lawsuit against the Fearless Fund against black entrepreneurs, this is the latest attack, attacking black businesspeople trying to create wealth for their family and black community. Only 1 is with black businesses. So its very alarming because these attacks are coordinated, theyre wellfunded, and clearly ed bloom is behind it. Hes been behind the latest lawsuits on Affirmative Action. He was behind the Roe Versus Wade attacks, and so we have to call it out the way it is. We have to say who is impeding our progress in this moment. But we are not going back. Were not going to be silenced, and were going to continue to advance this issue. You said ed bloom is this part of it. Its in terms of not only when they won a Supreme Court decision in terms of College Admissions but on businesses and lawmakers saying you cant have programs specifically to deal with having blacks and people of color elevated or given contrast. And then yesterday on politicsnation right here on this show, we had gop president ial candidate vivek ramaswamy. I want you to listen as he answered when i asked him about Affirmative Action and adversity programs. Listen to this. I want to make sure these kids arent trapped in the ghetto of the zip code they happen to be born in. To the contrary, i think every parent deserves the opportunity to send their kids to the best possible school. Thats why i favor radical School Choice in this country. I think its a mystery, ref rev sharpton, those who wax racism are also opposed to education mobility. Thats why i say shut down the u. S. Department of education. The 80 million, send it to the parents so they can send their children to the best possible school they can. I asked you about Affirmative Action and i asked you about business and bloom. He pivoted over to talk about Charter Schools and education. He tried to duck and weave, but i wouldnt let him do it on this show. It also shows theyre trying to build straw men up instead of deal with congressional issues. Your interview was spot on. I wish the candidate would just really get out of the way because he is the one whos stoking these racial tensions in our country. For him to make comparisons to members of congress, our own congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and the kkk, is outrageous, its irresponsible, and it ee dangerous. Its the kind of rhetoric that led to the Mass Shooting in jacksonville, florida, which Governor Desantis helped stoke with his rhetoric. But as you said, while we strike these attacks on the extreme right, we have to look at the agenda when we lift up black america. When we lift up black america, we lift up everyone. As you know, we have the legislative Policy Conference coming up in washington, dc, starting December 20th through the 24th. During that congress were going to position not only democracy and race but economic mobility and Wealth Creation at a time when black people are under attack, we want to talk about ways to advances, wage, and wealth. With the partnerships, the Economic Alliance and the network theyre doing under your leadership, we can put forth an agenda that moves america through jobs, betterpaying jobs, through smalls by creation, and through Wealth Creation for black families and black communities. This monday with the kings and other leaders, i went to meet with President Biden on the 60th Anniversary in washington. President biden and Vice PresidentKamala Harris met. You spoke at the march, of course. I obviously was there. I called on President Biden to hold the next hate summit, the summer of hate crimes we did last summer, lets hold it in florida after the recent shooting there that killed three innocent blacks. And, in fact, today i heard and saw that there was a rally of neonazis in orlando on yesterday. I got a call and we talked about it early this morning. How is it that they talk on this matter of hate crimes and enforcing of hate crimes . Well, look. The proud boys and groups like them have been named by Homeland Security as the single biggest threat to domestic security, and they are a domestic terrorist organization. Youve seen the indictments that have come down and the latest charges that have been made as well as the sentencing. But specifically as it pertains to florida, here you have Governor Desantis, the same governor who has tried to erode black history, to try to rewrite black history, to try to claim that slavery was somehow some kind of a work program that provided benefits to enslave people, and then he wants to show up at the Candlelight Vigil for the families and the community that was mourning the very deaths of the individuals because of the racist attack on their community by a while supremacist. So the black caucus will continue to fight and make sure that those who are responsible for these attacks, whether its on our democracy or whether its on our blackness are held accountable, and we dont care who they are, including the former president of the united states. They must be held accountable. All right. Im going to have to leave it there. Im out of time. But thank you and thank you for all youre doing, congressman steven harsford, chair of the congressional black caucus. Joining mu know is chicago mayor Brandon Johnson. Mr. Mayor, thank you for being with us. I want to go to a new report released on tuesday by the center for the study of hate and extremism at California State University in san bernardino. They had the most recordbreaking jumps in hate crimes in 2022 for the second Straight Year. For the second Straight Year also chicago had the most significant rise in hate crimes. Overall, an 84 increase. You were elected mayor of chicago this year and this data is from the previous two years. I want to be sure to also mention that as summer has come to an end, new data shows that chicago murder rates are down by 21 from 2021. However, i want you i want to get your reaction to this Hate Crime Data that preceded you by just a few months, and how concerned are you that chicago is also leading in American Cities in dealing with hate crimes as you seem to effectively be dealing with crime. Thank you, reverend sharpton, for your leadership, and, again, having the audacity to lead with so much boldness. We do appreciate that here in chicago. We miss you. Thank you. You know, look. Its clear that the entire country is suffering from this overwhelming divisive presentation thats being promulgated by Political Forces that clearly have not accepted the results of the civil war. In fact, it is evident that many of these leaders want a rematch, and as you know, the history of antiblackness, particularly here in chicago, finds its roots that were, you know, planted a very long time ago when reverend Martin Luther king jr. Came to the City Of Chicago. He described it like no other place on the planet. And, again, unfortunately because weve had these systems that, quite frankly, have demonstrated antiblackness over the course of decades, whether its closing down Public Schools, shuttering public houses, there are systems that have demonstrated hatred and animus toward black existence, but im grateful that the multicultural general racing Move Management that propelled an organizer, a Public School teacher, a middle child of ten siblings to a state floor certainly has arrived, and as youve indicated, weve been working incredibly hard with a multitiered layered approach with the full government to create a full safer chicago. Im glad we have the civil rights leaders, faith community, my organization to build a much stronger and better and safer chicago. Following up on that, the recent killing of three Black Americans in florida, Black Americans are the most victims. It confirms the trends showing black people where the targets are more than onefifth of all hate crimes that were reported in major American Cities last year. The highest of any other group. Chicago is about a third black. According to the u. S. Census bureau data. What do you think is fueling the rise of targeting Black Americans specifically, and in answering that, how do you as a newly elected mayor, major city, an activist as you came in, deal with the potential hate crimes remaining up in your city and the black crime that is being perpetrated on each other with violence . You brought it down, but its still there. So youve got a double kind of assignment here that you have to balance out. Well, we certainly have a lot of work in front of us, but theres not a lot of challenge thats too big in the City Of Chicago and, quite frankly, this country. Weve overcome challenges before, vicious attacks between black people. Just a couple of days ago, i declared august 0th, chairman fred hampton, senior day here in the City Of Chicago where you know he was front line fighting for black liberation, and he understood that black liberation had a Ripple Impact on other groups. Its the same spirit. We have revived the City Of Chicago to, one, make sure were thriving with our philanthropic community. Were stepping up to mate critical investments in communities that have been longstarved. Look, whether its the former President Trump igniting this insurrection and attack against our democracy or, again, whether its the fact that for every one particular that a white family earns, a black family earns one cent, these systems of oppression have gone unchecked for a very long time, but, again, im grateful we have a new superintendent that will be confirmed, chief larry snelling, who is the proud son of inglewood. Hes going up against the ranks for the first time in chicago. We have a deputy mayor devoted to safety. We have so many individuals in this city and, quite frankly, around the country, that continue to ask the most dynamic question, what can we do to help . Thats what its go ing to take. We need to bring people together, not subject ourselves to the type of visceral hatred thats been promulgated against black folks, asians, jewish brothers and sisters, lgbtq plus community, all of these different groups that have suffered under tyranny. Im grateful to be in a position where, one, again, full force of government to deal with safety. Two, theres a major piece of legislation called treatment, not trauma, that will show up to crises where Mental Health professionals are needed. Three, were also making sure were going to raise new revenue, bring chicago home to deal with the Housing Crisis in the City Of Chicago that has affected the entire country. These last 1 12 days we have not totally disrupted ten days of it, but we certainly have laid the foundation to build the apparatus to build a better, stronger, and much safer chicago. Chicago major Brandon Johnson has been there 112 days, and hasnt put any fire in the belly up next. Thank you for being on. Coming up, a new school year is underway, and its time to rise up and push against Radical Right Wing Politics in the classroom. But first my colleague richard lui with todays top stories. Thank you. A very good sunday to you. Officials say a death is being investigate at the burning man festival. The persons identity was not released yet.

Two former members of congress. On the left, democrat Donna Edwards of maryland, and on the right, david jolly of florida. Miss edwards, we have a busy week ahead around trumps indictments, his codefendants in georgia case who have not entered their pleas yet will be arraigned on wednesday. In federal, classified documents case, the government will begin turning over Classified Domments on thursday. All the while trump continues to fund raise off his mugshot. His Campaign Says he raked in at least 9. 4 million so far. I mean, what do you make of how these cases are shaping out and trumps ongoing push to fundraise off his alleged crimes . Look, its getting really hard for me to keep track of all of the cases and all of the procedures in the cases, and i think that were going to find that that is true through the rest of this election cycle. Its hard to know how donald trump continues to campaign in this environment, but ill tell you, that fundraising number is completely reflected in his polling numbers. Nothing seems to be able to move republicans off of donald trump, and he is using the litigation against him to his political advantage. Now, i dont think that that at the end of the day is going to work out in the courtroom, but it certainly seems to be working for him right now in the political space. David, unlike the three other indictments trump is facing, his trial in georgia will be televised and livestreamed because of the states open door media polpolicies. Do you think that scares him . Up until this point, the most weve been able to see as the public is trump arriving to courthouses. How historic will this be to actually see the trial . Yeah, rev, its always hard to analyze the fragile strategies of donald trump. As we know from very solid reporting, he really hates all of this. Hes worried about his personal freedom and personal jeopardy. Does he see a televise opportunity . Thats part of his ethos, to own the story and own the airwaves, if you will. I think the interesting thing is this will be the first time that voters in American Culture absorb seeing him stand for trial. We havent seen that yet. All weve seen thus far are the indictments and criminal charges and that has strengthened his hand in if gop nomination process. I suppose a trial would also strengthen his hand among republican voters. I still think his personal jeopardy, particularly live on air, is a handicap for him going up against joe biden next november. David, trump is still dominating the Polling Heading into fall. Some of his Republic Republicano not want to go after him for fear of alienating his voters, but they cant see a path to beating him without attacking him at some point. What is the right answer . How do these gop candidates make an impact on the country under the sha shadow of trum . I dont think they can. The last few days have been clarified. They were asked to raise their hand if you would support a criminally convicted donald trump, and pretty much they all did including ron desantis. So, reverend, its impossible to say as a candidate, i would vote for donald trump. I dont think they should do that. You should vote for me. For the last two or three years, they say trump was a victim but now they change course and say hes not prepared to be president. Republicans are too far down this road. I dont think theres any beating trump. I think he wins wire to wire. Donna, turning to President Biden, the New York Times says biden has enlisted two dozen attorneys, legislative liaisons aen others to come up with strategies in the face of republican threats of an impeachment inquiry. Will this backfire on republicans . Well, look. First of all i dont think theres any there there. So republicans are going down this path where they basically are holding the federal government as a hostage, saying were not going to fund the government, which runs out of money at the end of september, unless we move forward on this impeachment proceeding, and that way theyre unabashed in identifying this as a politically motivated act. I mean theyve been so clear. So many of them have said on the record that they believe this is about damaging President Biden as he goes into the election, and so i think its really smart of the president and his team to try to get out ahead of this, to try to forestaal some of the damage that republicans want to reap on him, but at the end of the day, i just dont think it will work. There is just no evidence to support an impeachment. You know, Kevin Mccarthy continues to go down this road where he is essentially at the beck and call of the most radical call of his caucus and at the end of the day its going to fail them. Briefly to both of you, a new poll by the Wall Street Journal shows trump is the top choice of nearly 60 of republican primary voters. Do you think the other candidates stand any chance, or is it still too early to tell . Donna, then david. I just dont see a pathway for a single one of them to get to the nomination. Donald trump is doom nating the field. Even if you added up all of their numbers, they still dont reach a point of defeeding donald trump. I just dont see it. I agreed with david earlier that it would be almost impossible for any of them to overtake donald trump. Hes going to get their nomination. David . I think republican donors should save their money on any other candidate. This is Donald Trumps race. Focus on influencing the former president if youre a republican and the direction you wish, but ultimately it provides the opportunity for joe bide on the say im a president whos going to list up all people. Donald trump is somebody whos going to destroy the constitution, i think the choice is clear. All right. Thank you to Donna Edwards and david jolly.

Founder of public enemy chuck d is shedding a new light on the genres roots. This past june, an intersection in the bronx, south bronx to be exact, was renamed after black benjie, a gang member who was beat up in 1971 after trying to break up a fight, commemoraing him to bring about peace when there was systemic change. Can you dig it, a hiphop origins story. The codirector is pete. He joins me now. Thanks for joining me today and thanks for working with chuck d, my friend on this. Congratulations on this. Many hiphop stories begin with others at 1520 sedgwick avenue. But as you mentioned, your pod cac showing a different entry point. Tell us how the tragic Death Of Black Benjie breathed life into hip hiphop. Thanks for having me on. It was a backtoschool jam, getting everyone back and ready to school so they could make money for clothing. That was the dawn of hiphop. The night before hiphop was really how it all began and it goes back to choosing peace and the power of peace to change the way you live from win, and we found that black benjie, Cornell Benjamin was the catalyst for the movement, for the art to travel through the bronx. So when he was murdered, he was the Ghetto Brothers peacemaker. They chose to change their world order to a peacemaker, and on his first assignment to deescalate violence against three rival gangs they beat him to death. What the Ghetto Brothers did next when you talk about a plan, they decided to not retaliate and they held a peace treaty and over 50 gangs showed up and they decided to lay down their weapons. That gave the Moon Movement to art and form and traveled and to us that was the beginning of the seeds of the culture. Now, hiphop sought to speak the truth about inequality, injustice, police brutality, and violence, first as a Music Conversation and eventually becoming a dominant force in American Culture as a whole. What has been the social impact of that journey . Ive worked with chuck d in the 80s and you and i talked about it on morning joe, and it became a soundtrack to the movement, fight the power of public enemy. Tell us about the impact. Its profound. Its changed the way we all love, film, entertainment, history. Its changed without hamilton, thats hiphop right there itself. So its literally been a part of the american fabric. We talked to chuck about that. Youre informing people, inspiring people, and empowering people, but youre also allowed to tell your story. I think a lot of the people outside of the bronx, queens, staten island, they were able to get that story out to a wider audience and with a good beat. He talks about fists in the air. That story then travels and advertising works. I think the story got out. There were hits, people were dancing to it, and they wereabs in a recent interview, they helped highlight a side of hiphop history that was missing from other anniversary retrospective. What is that missing piece in your view . My view personally, the missing piece, are the four elements of hiphop. I think it was exciting, but theres a lot of focus on rap and the genre in that history. But hiphop as a culture is built of four elements, deejaying, emceeing, bboy, and graffiti writing. That was important to get out there as well. I think hiphop is a multicultural revelation where it was black, brown, white. It represented new york where it was born, and i think the dna of hiphop is the dna of new york and its obviously a multicultural haven. I think that also came through that hiphop is a diverse culture, not at a single, you know, community. Yeah. And as you take stock of everything you learned putting together this Podcast Series and observing the discussion of hiphops 50th Anniversary more generally, what are your thoughts on the future of hiphop specifically as a force for social change . I think going back to your last segment again, i think we need to get this in the curriculum. I think this is part of the storytelling and working with museums and schools and getting this into the prjs where platforms arent easily accessible. How are folks inspired by the story going to go it to hear it . Its the right places at the right time, right now. Its a commemoration of 50 years, but the work still has to get done.

Philip randolphs and the walter ruthers. But the leaders today when you think of social justice, you have to think of lee sanders or the teachers. You have to think of George Gresham at 1199.

President biden is right to bring it up, and i wanted to remind you to do that.

He is liable for damages which will be determined at a civil trial. Former poll workers, freeman and moss, sued giuliani over his baseless claims they committed election fraud. Both testified to the January 6th Committee that their lives were turned upside down by those
