the aclu or mitch mcconnell, who do you trust, the lawyers committee for civil rights were mitch mcconnell. the reality is, the legitimacy of this process that we have pushed all the time asking for real reform has been betrayed of what mitch mcconnell is doing through this procedure that he has set up to fail this moment and that to me is unacceptable and i'm telling you this right now, chuck schumer just said it. sadly if mitch mcconnell calls the senate together for bipartisan work, we will be here again. , we will be here again. it is a cycle of death and tragedy that we have witnessed for my entire lifetime. now more frequently, on videotape because we failed to put anything in place to protect black lives unarmed americans by police. we want to get something done, we are asking to get something done but sadly this moment is being failed right now by someone who is clearly by the strategy and has no interest, no interest whatsoever in addressing the injustices that we see and policing in america. >> thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> what is the message you have about protest >> and now

but mitch mcconnell you said is the biggest swap dweller there is and you contend that mitch mcconnell has blocked some of trump's agenda and has been able to keep some of the key campaign promises and block that from becoming a reality . are you saying that if you're elected to the u.s. senate that you would support the trump agenda ? >> what i'm saying is i would support kentucky and for so many kentuckians like angie and her husband who are trying to figure out how to make ends meet because prescription drug prices are too high and when trump came here to kentucky prescription drugs is something he wants to work on and guess why that hasn't happened i? i'll tell you why, because mitch mcconnell is bought off by big pharma. >> what another issue that you agreewith ? >> president trump has said we need to fix our infrastructure, we do. here's the thing. mitch mcconnell has said infrastructure is a nonstarter in the senate but the other thing i would like to mention is that not only will i work with any president because i think this is the problem in america right now, one of the majo

this is the opposite of what mitch mcconnell is. he is constantly pushing for dysfunction when somebody in the other party is in power. that is why he is so bad for our country because it is all about obstruction and partisanship for him. it is not that way for me. i will work with anybody to do what is right for kentucky. and i will have the guts to stand up to anybody when it is right for kentucky. that is also the difference between myself and senator mcconnell. renee: several questions about abortion. where do you stand on a woman's right to choose? rep. booker: i stand firmly for a woman's right to choose. when you understand the challenges kentuckians face, you don't run as a pro trump democrat. you do not play these political games. you are not going to convince folks who voted for president trump to vote for you. while --ell bs from a from a mile away. i have stood up for the rights of women because i know what it love to haveeone i her voiced silenced -- voice silenced. i would always stand up on the house floor to stand up

this is the opposite of what mitch mcconnell is. he has somebody who is constantly pushing for to some function when somebody of the other party is in power, that is why he is so bad, that is why he is so bad for kentucky, and our country because it is about -- obstruction and partisanship. it is not that way for me, that is why i say i will work with everybody -- anybody to do what is right for kentucky and i will have the guts to stand up any what -- to anyone when it is right for kentucky. >> there have been several questions from abortion so i will ask one from sherry branson. i will start with you mr. booker. charles: i stand firmly for a woman's right to choose. i want to make a point. you understand the challenges that kentuckians face, you do not run as a pro trump democrat and do not play political games or convince folks to get -- to vote for you because you are not as bad as mitch mcconnell. we can smell bs from a mile away, and i stood up for the rights of women because i know what it means to see someone that i care abo

this is the senate according to mitch mcconnell. what we've seen now and it is been repeated in the past, is -- and it has been repeated in the past, is the senate as he understands it and as he leads it. how good of a model is it under our constitution? this last february, 70 former senators, democrats, and republicans and independents sent a letter to the united states senate saying that we were not meeting our constitutional responsibilities. i'd like to quote from a couple of sentences in that letter and ask you if this doesn't sound like what we're enduring and living through at this moment. from these former senators, it says, "our concern is that the legislative process is no longer working in the senate. several factors may be cited. senate committees have lost responsibility for writing legislation, rules allowing ofended to become a feature the senate predicting minorities have been abuse on the floor. it is now commonly said it takes 60 votes to pass anything in the senate. this is new and obstructionist. that is the sena

this is bigger than mitch mcconnell. this is about us transforming our future meaning we need to uproot racism and generational poverty and we'll beat mitch mcconnell to do it. >> when you say this election is about us, does that mean you believe you will be able to turn voters who voted for mitch mcconnell in the past or you're registering a whole new crop of voters we've never seen show up before? >> actually both. one of the bills i've lead was the restoration of voting rights. kentucky has been one of the most disenfranchised. working with governor beshear he was able to build off my legislation that allows over 150,000 kentuckians to -- we're activating them but we're also reaching out to folks who have been ignored for a long time and people that have supported donald trump have said we're going to support you, charles, because you're calling out the system is broken, just like he did, but you're not selling snake oil. you're fighting for us and we're going to stand with you. so i'm proud of this. this is not about

i think the senate can as long as mitch mcconnell sees the light. yes? relate what you're going to do next today are you going to reach out to majority leader mcconnell? >> we are certainly going to try to talk -- many of us will talk with her publican colleagues on the path forward. thank you everybody. [background noises] >> at the same time of minority leadership mers news conference

mitch mcconnell is a powerful senate. what makes you think mr. booker or any of the democrats running the primary realistically has against mitch mccom? is he vulnerable? >> first of all, i want to shout out to brother booker. we're proud of what you've done and shooting to you. i think that charles booker has a chance based upon a primary if, in fact, this is a changed election. this my experience tell me presidential years give us more of a probability that off years which is the last time an unpopular mitch mcconnell ran against a popular democratic nominee. i'm looking at jefferson county, louisville, where the bulk of the black states in the state of kentucky live.

they have left them stillborn on mitch mcconnell's desk wastebasket. so that this will not be the first bill. it would be one of a series of hundreds of bills that mitch mcconnell has denied the united states said the right to express its opinion on. that is in and of itself undemocratic. while they are spent all their time dealing with confirmation of judges and confirmation of administrative positions, it totally political ideological pattern which is unfortunate. and i hope members in the republican party and the united states senate demand that there be a vote on this bill. .. >> what if the process if it does pass the house and senate at some point? >> it will go to the president f for signature. he's been dismissive of district of columbia for some reasons. i would hope that he would sign the bill. if he doesn't sign that bill, we would expand the majority in the house in the upcoming election and take back the senate and be a majority of democrats in the united states senate and we will have a democratic president. so, if the republicans refuse

the lady was just talking about republicans not wanting to help people out, mitch mcconnell this, mitch mcconnell that. that's poppycock. the republicans, i have a small business, none of my clients paid me for 3 1/2 months. the republicans and the trump administration have done an absolutely unbelievable job of pushing money out into the economy. i listen to c-span a lot. they had a report out that said that, in fact, it was on one of the financial shows that said that wall street was going up right now because one of the key statistics they looked at was people being late on their rent, that was only 2% over prior quarter, and that's because so much more money has been pushed out. the unemployment part really isn't against people getting unemployment. the federal part that was kicked in was in large degree because the states couldn't get -- there's gov. newsom: we have to own up to some very difficult things. the black community is not responsible for what is happening in this country right now. we are. we are. our institutions are responsible. we are accountable to this moment. let's

who do you trust on police reform in america, the aclu or mitch mcconnell? who do you trust, the lawyer's committee for civil rights or mitch mcconnell? the reality is, the legitimacy of this process that we have been pushing all the time, asking for real reform, has been betrayed by what mitch mcconnell is doing through these procedures that he's set up to fail this moment, and that to me is unacceptable. >> our next guest, senator cory booker, is the co-author with senator kamala harris of the senate democrat's police reform legislation. the current legislation is unacceptable and they want to work with republicans to try to develop bipartisan legislation. the traditional process for that would be having the senate judiciary committee, which has jurisdiction over law enforcement, work together to produce a bipartisan bill. senator harris had this exchange today on the senate floor with a republican member of the senate judiciary committee, john cornyn of texas. >> we have asked that there would be a meaningful discussion of the justice and policing act in

>> it's difficult for me to watch mitch mcconnell in this kind of reform. the pressure that had to be put on him to put forward the justice reform bill that liberated thousands of americans from prison. he wants to check a box and accomplish very little in terms of real reforms. his accusations that this is somehow nationalizing of police is absurd. this is banning practices that constitute real violations of people's civil rights. we should not have a country that does choke holds, that does racial and religious profiling, that does no-knock warrants. these are banning practices like we've done in so many areas of our country. and that's what's very frustrating to me. because he wants to turn this page, get into a defense authorization bill and we will find ourselves, do it the mitch mcconnell way. we will find ourselves with a country that's not changed cultures, practices and still has too many unarmed african-americans being killed by police while they sleep, killed by police in horrible carotic holds, killed by police at levels that should be alarming

this may be a mitch mcconnell and donald trump moment, but i look at the polls. the majority of republicans support the things in my bill that are not in -- the bill i've done with kamala harris -- that are not in this republican bill. the majority of republicans support an end to no-knock warrants. the majority of republicans want to see a ban on choke holds. the majority of republicans believe that we should not be a nation that racially, religiously profiles. this is not a partisan moment. it's a moral moment. and what i see is mitch mcconnell trying to do everything he can to stop the real work in the senate from happening on tough issues and just trying to turn the page. i watched him do it, as you said, when chris murphy did a 15-hour filibuster to try to force bipartisan compromise. and by the way, there was. manchin/toomey. there are so many things in the senate i know from conversations with those on the other side that we can get done, but mitch mcconnell himself calls himself the grim reaper. that's pretty dark. he brags about the fact that he kills mo

first let me say something to mitch mcconnell and to the republicans. i just heard him say what we've seen, he attached the racial name or moniker to it. we saw police brutality. we have issues of racism but let's not conflate the two and fall into the, it's racist because it is black and white. republicans need to be smart about this and deal with issues where there is racism and police brutality. follow that evidence before we go down that path improperly. to this call, to call for defunding the police, the economics of this make no sense. if you defund the police, if you reform the police the way the minneapolis would like to do it or some more left-wing socialist democrats or black lives matter crowd that shouted down the mayor of minneapolis, jacob frey or any others, what happens? you lose when crime goes up. you lose when retail commercial property and residential property values go down. your community loses when the response is not from a trained law enforcement officer. and, you know, we can fix things with training. we can deal with issues. w

>> well, understand what mitch mcconnell refers to himself as. he doesn't call himself the guy who moves america forward. no. he calls himself the grim reaper, in other words that he kills bill after bill, even those that have wide bipartisan support. so i understand that mitch mcconnell set a process up which could give shield and cover to many of his republican colleagues. but he had no intention of allowing real, substantive reform to happen in the united states of america. and so he is the big block right now. he is a person -- and you know this, reverend sharpton, it's not just that, a lot of folks want to put rand paul at the center of stopping antilynching legislation. indeed he stopped it from passing with unanimous consent. but knowing that there are 99 senators that support this antilynching legislation, mitch mcconnell, if he prioritized issues of justice like this, he could put it on the floor and it would pass overwhelmingly. but he is choosing not to. and so in this climate, i tell you, it is going to be very difficult for anything

it is going to be an issue of public pressure and how much mitch mcconnell response. you can expect this house package to pass this month. losey wants to do it before the end of the month -- pelosi wants to do it before the end of the month. how many republican votes is yet to be seen. they might get a handful, but not an overwhelming number. then how long these protest endure emma how long this story remains in the headlines -- indoor, how long this are made to the headlines. host: one of the issues on the line is this concept of qualified immunity especially as it applies to police officers. does this bill address that? it does focus on criminal justice reform. they are revising federal statutes around excessive force, including racial profiling, police brutality. they want a federal database of abusive law enforcers so they are not being fired in one city and hired in another. limits on be new qualified immunity, which is this liability thing that has been controversial for years that says a police officer in most cases cannot be sued for actions he or she takes wh

>> what does mitch mcconnell have something to worry about going into november? >> trump's at top of the ticket, right, and this is tate that president donald trump won by 30 percentage points back in 2016, that obviously gives mitch mcconnell a huge advantage heading into november, you also have the fact that, you know, this is a steadily trending republican state, a democrat did win the race for governor in 2018, a lot of that had to do with who he was running against. so it's really different kind of dynamic that's going on heading into november and it will be really interesting because you have two sort of different paths in amy mcgrath and charlie booker. mcgrath takes that moderate path, she can win by taking and flipping those suburban voters. charlie booker takes the progressive path, making the argument he'll bring more people into the fold that will challenge mcconnell. >> another great subplot the president telling us that mail-in ballots are full of corruption, people of kentucky saying not so much. daniel, thank you very much for spending some time w

mcconnell. with only 10% reporting and key urban areas not counted, state rep african-american charles booker is posing a significant challenge to the early establishment frontrunner, retired marine helicopter pilot amy mcgrath, for the democratic nod to go up against majority leader mitch mcconnell in the fall. malgraduati mcgrath stumbled when she said in a debate that she had not gone to any black lives matter protests because she was visiting family. meanwhile, eliot engel is getting trounced by former school principal jamaal bowman in new york, but that race is too early to call. also last night a win for two republican candidates opposed by president trump. in north carolina republicans choosing 24-year-old investor madison cawthorn in the runoff for the seat of mark meadows. thomas massie who often clashes with the gop was renominated for a sixth term. in presidential politics, the first "new york times" national survey shows joe biden with a commanding 14-point lead over president trump

too many americans are running out of time right now, and it's way past time mitch mcconnell took action. >> thank you, senator stabenow and leader schumer. one of the very first actions the trump administration justice department tried to take was to pull back the consent order on the baltimore city police department that had been put in place by president obama in the aftermath of freddie gray's loss. and they took it to court, and a judge ruled that they couldn't pull it back because it had been put in place just in time, but that was one of the very first things they tried to do. look, we continue to hear every day from americans who have lost loved ones as a result of covid-19. as of today, more than 116,000 americans have died. more than in any other country on earth. 20 million americans are unemployed because of the econom economic fallout and harm. and it would be gross negligence for this senate to go home for a two-week break over the fourth of july without the opportunity to vote on additional emergency relief. senator schumer said in the banking committee here today, we hear
