violence, who stand by the prosecutors, that indicted donald trump for being part of this, and not doing enough to try to discourage january six, with actual violence happening. he would endorse trump if he was a nomination for president. for you to attack a woman who disagree with, who was on politics with me later today, by the way, it shows how far this party has gone to poison what is going on in this country. ramaswamy was the one who said that juneteenth, the holiday one people who were enslaved in texas found out that they were freed, and could leave slavery. he said that some derogatory terms about juneteenth. i don't think that any of us are taking him seriously. i think what is dangerous about him is to ignore that some

interesting to watch what mike pence does over the coming weeks and whether he's able to get on the debate stage and make the point he has, which is that he acted in the best interest of the nation. lastly, vivek ramaswamy is unknown, but he has gaining momentum with his positions. he ran into a stumble on june juneteenth, the holiday. >> he said it is a made up holiday. he put out a message a couple months ago commemorating juneteenth. he has to figure that out and come up with a position that's solid for the next june 19th, i think. >> some speculated he might be playing to be a potential trump running mate. we shall see. senior nbc news national politics reporter jonathan allen, great stuff as always. we appreciate it.

people feeling like they are a problem. >> i've got to tell you, i saw that conversation, it's where i found you, i think everyone should watch that clip because it's resourceful and shines a light on this. even here we had conversations, there's a time people didn't know about juneteenth and i was able to share and they did know about black wall street so there is a place for diversity and having conversations about history. i think that is fruitful. how do you think we can get back on track with having spirited debate as well as conversations learning from each other and not just talking one another? >> sub deputy is to be put on track. i think we could put it back on the rails when we talk about multigenerational lack americans can bring it back to the civil
