Ray Raheem, a fictional character,

63
00:02:35,243 --> 00:02:37,676
is based upon Michael Stewart.

64
00:02:37,743 --> 00:02:41,576
In 1983, he was doing graffiti

in a New York City subway station,

66
00:02:43,676 --> 00:02:49,276
and he was killed by the New York City transit cops.

294

OFFICER: (OVER LOUDSPEAKER)

296
00:12:14,076 --> 00:12:16,709
We heard "Trump 2020" initially, and then we heard a man

297
00:12:16,776 --> 00:12:18,643
arguing with the police officers.

298
00:12:18,709 --> 00:12:21,609
So my first inclination was to run to the window

299
00:12:21,676 --> 00:12:23,309
and make sure whoever that brother was

300
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:25,509
on the corner was okay. And then you hear

301
00:12:25,576 --> 00:12:29,109
the guy call, you know, call the police officer names.

303
00:12:31,143 --> 00:12:33,376

305
00:12:36,376 --> 00:12:37,609
And so that's exactly what we did.

306
00:12:37,676 --> 00:12:39,209
-Um... -SPIKE: What'd the cop say?

307
00:12:39,276 --> 00:12:41,509

310

when in uniform and on duty.

it was the complaints department.

339
00:13:52,076 --> 00:13:53,409
They have reached out to me to file

340
00:13:53,476 --> 00:13:54,776
a complaint against them.

341
00:13:55,076 --> 00:13:58,209
I saw the response by O'Shea, the commissioner.

342
00:13:58,276 --> 00:14:01,309
De Blasio was like, "We're going to have this investigation open

343
00:14:01,376 --> 00:14:02,776
and ready to go by Sunday." And they did.

344
00:14:03,043 --> 00:14:05,143
And it turns out that when de Blasio watches footage

345
00:14:05,209 --> 00:14:07,743
of police misconduct, things are actually handled.

346
00:14:07,809 --> 00:14:09,743
But he hasn't apparently seen anything

347
00:14:09,809 --> 00:14:11,776
about police brutalizing protestors.

348
00:14:12,043 --> 00:14:14,109
SPIKE: Now, what happened to that police officer?

349
00:14:14,176 --> 00:14:16,743
He was suspended without pay. But someone set up

350
00:14:16,809 --> 00:14:21,176
a GoFundMe for him to help pay for lost wages.

351
00:14:21,243 --> 00:14:22,609
SPIKE:  They get any money?

352
00:14:22,676 --> 00:14:25,743
TALIA:  Yeah, they did. They got a couple thousand dollars.

353
00:14:25,809 --> 00:14:27,476
I have 36 years on this job,

354
00:14:27,543 --> 00:14:30,043
twenty-one as the president of this fine organization.

355
00:14:30,109 --> 00:14:34,443
I cannot remember when we've ever endorsed

356
00:14:34,509 --> 00:14:38,509
for the office of president of the United States until now.

357
00:14:38,576 --> 00:14:41,276
In the New York City PBA, Mr. President,

358
00:14:41,343 --> 00:14:42,543
you earn the endorsement,

359
00:14:42,609 --> 00:14:44,043
and you've earned this endorsement.

360
00:14:44,109 --> 00:14:45,576
-I'm proud to give it. -(CHEERING)

361
00:14:45,643 --> 00:14:49,543
What Pat Lynch did created tremendous pain and confusion.

362
00:14:49,609 --> 00:14:52,409
It was for his own politics.

363
00:14:52,476 --> 00:14:55,543
It was for his own narrow, greedy reasons.

364
00:14:55,609 --> 00:14:57,543
I heard people say to me all over the city,

365
00:14:57,609 --> 00:14:59,509
"The police department endorsed Trump."

366
00:14:59,576 --> 00:15:01,243
Well, that's not true. That's just not fair.

367
00:15:01,309 --> 00:15:03,809
That's just not true. First of all, police department,

368
00:15:04,076 --> 00:15:06,809
extremely diverse group of people with diverse views.

369
00:15:07,076 --> 00:15:09,743
I assure you, there were many, many members of NYPD

370
00:15:09,809 --> 00:15:11,409
who did not endorse Donald Trump,

371
00:15:11,476 --> 00:15:14,109
but a police union did.

372
00:15:14,176 --> 00:15:17,776
And that created pain and confusion in this city.

373
00:15:18,076 --> 00:15:19,309
'Cause a lot of people took that

374
00:15:19,376 --> 00:15:21,376
-as representing-- -SPIKE: So did you call him up?

375
00:15:23,109 --> 00:15:25,409
All right, we'll leave it at that. (LAUGHS)

376
00:15:25,476 --> 00:15:29,076
The look said everything. (LAUGHING)

377
00:15:29,143 --> 00:15:30,576
That's the most frightening thing of it all.

378
00:15:30,643 --> 00:15:32,576
They're here to protect and serve,

379
00:15:32,643 --> 00:15:34,609
but they're out here killing Black people,

380
00:15:34,676 --> 00:15:37,276
but then you have a president who backs that energy,

381
00:15:37,343 --> 00:15:39,676
who dog whistles calls for law and order.

382
00:15:45,676 --> 00:15:48,176
I will also tell you that

383
00:15:48,243 --> 00:15:50,376
we stopped the looting and we stopped the violence.

384
00:15:50,443 --> 00:15:52,043
We didn't bring in the National Guard

385
00:15:52,109 --> 00:15:53,343
like in other parts of the country,

386
00:15:53,409 --> 00:15:56,609
which I think would have been extremely dangerous here.

387
00:15:56,676 --> 00:15:59,276
There weren't rubber bullets. There wasn't tear gas,

388
00:15:59,343 --> 00:16:02,743
which we saw in a lot of places. So whatever our foibles,

389
00:16:02,809 --> 00:16:05,609
whatever our mistakes, there was still something

390
00:16:05,676 --> 00:16:07,109
about how New York City approached it

391
00:16:07,176 --> 00:16:09,343
that was better than a lot of other places.

392
00:16:09,409 --> 00:16:11,376
But the-- where do we go from here?

393
00:16:12,543 --> 00:16:16,076
First of all, police force just has to look like

394
00:16:16,143 --> 00:16:17,343
the communities they serve.

395
00:16:17,409 --> 00:16:18,809
Precinct commander in Brownsville right now,

396
00:16:19,076 --> 00:16:21,143
grew up in Brownsville in public housing.

397
00:16:21,209 --> 00:16:23,609
That is the model. That is the ideal.

398
00:16:23,676 --> 00:16:27,209
Weed out the small number of cops who don't belong.

399
00:16:27,276 --> 00:16:28,376
And it is a small number.

400
00:16:28,443 --> 00:16:30,309
Some just were not meant for the work

401
00:16:30,376 --> 00:16:33,443
or they harbor resentments, anger,

402
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:36,043
racism that doesn't belong.

403
00:16:36,109 --> 00:16:38,443
And give people a voice. I mean, one of the things

404
00:16:38,509 --> 00:16:40,709
we decided is that from now on

405
00:16:41,643 --> 00:16:43,443
the community will have a role

406
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:45,143
in choosing the precinct commander.

407
00:16:45,209 --> 00:16:47,243
And that was one of the most powerful reforms

408
00:16:47,309 --> 00:16:49,476
that came out of the protests.

409
00:16:49,543 --> 00:16:51,476
And I've heard from people all over,

410
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:54,509
neighborhoods all over the city, that really mattered to them,

411
00:16:55,476 --> 00:16:57,709
that they will have a voice again.

412
00:16:57,776 --> 00:17:00,576
And that NYPD is going to hear that.

413
00:17:00,643 --> 00:17:02,109
That, to me, is the kind of thing

414
00:17:02,176 --> 00:17:03,409
we have to do to move forward.

415
00:17:04,376 --> 00:17:08,309
SPIKE: This term, "defund the police."

416
00:17:08,376 --> 00:17:10,376
I just wish they had used a different word.

417
00:17:10,443 --> 00:17:11,776
-We do-- -SPIKE: Because if-- because

418
00:17:12,043 --> 00:17:16,043
these motherfuckers have turned "defund police"

419
00:17:16,109 --> 00:17:17,476
to meaning "we don't need police."

420
00:17:17,543 --> 00:17:18,643
-Right. -Yeah.

421
00:17:18,709 --> 00:17:21,609
I think we can all agree that for a functioning society,

422
00:17:21,676 --> 00:17:24,376
you need policing. There has to be policing.

423
00:17:24,443 --> 00:17:26,676
"Defund the police" is the catchphrase

424
00:17:26,743 --> 00:17:28,809
that people can latch on to.

425
00:17:29,076 --> 00:17:32,076
The problem is that the phrase "defund the police"

426
00:17:32,143 --> 00:17:36,143
has been weaponized against progressives

427
00:17:36,209 --> 00:17:38,509
and others to suggest that

428
00:17:39,376 --> 00:17:42,109
we support lawlessness.

429
00:17:42,176 --> 00:17:44,609
So, right now the war is for semantics.

430
00:17:44,676 --> 00:17:46,276
It is for language.

431
00:17:46,343 --> 00:17:48,043
And the question becomes,

432
00:17:48,109 --> 00:17:50,609
how can you use language to influence culture?

433
00:17:50,676 --> 00:17:52,443
SPIKE: Mm. Say it again, say it again.

434
00:17:52,509 --> 00:17:55,176
How can you use language to influence culture?

435
00:17:55,243 --> 00:17:56,776
There's a vast swath of America...

436
00:17:57,043 --> 00:17:59,443
-DERRICK: Mm-hmm. -...that is terrified right now.

437
00:17:59,509 --> 00:18:01,243
They have no idea what's going on.

438
00:18:01,309 --> 00:18:03,143
They have Fox News telling them this.

439
00:18:03,209 --> 00:18:05,143
They have the kid that works at the grocery store

440
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,443
telling them this.

441
00:18:06,509 --> 00:18:07,809
-What do they do? -Mm-hmm.

442
00:18:08,076 --> 00:18:11,643
We have to find consistency in the language

443
00:18:11,709 --> 00:18:13,376
and honestly find language that isn't--

444
00:18:13,443 --> 00:18:14,643
-Divisive. -Divisive.

445
00:18:14,709 --> 00:18:17,043
My name is Congresswoman Cori Bush,

446
00:18:17,109 --> 00:18:20,109
and I represent Missouri's 1st district.

447
00:18:20,176 --> 00:18:21,676
-Words do matter. -SPIKE: Mm-hmm.

448
00:18:21,743 --> 00:18:26,509
But people have been talking about "reallocating funds"

449
00:18:26,576 --> 00:18:28,409
as it relates to our police department,

450
00:18:28,476 --> 00:18:32,509
"diversifying" and all of that for years.

451
00:18:32,576 --> 00:18:34,309
How far have we gotten?

452
00:18:34,376 --> 00:18:36,376
When we said "defund the police,"

453
00:18:37,076 --> 00:18:38,609
the world woke up.

454
00:18:38,676 --> 00:18:41,276
And now it's a mainstream conversation

455
00:18:41,343 --> 00:18:42,443
and we're getting places

456
00:18:42,509 --> 00:18:44,443
that we weren't able to get before.

457
00:18:44,509 --> 00:18:46,243
So yes, words matter.

458
00:18:46,309 --> 00:18:48,743
But if it tech-- 'Cause the thing is,

459
00:18:48,809 --> 00:18:51,609
when they-- when the words started happening,

460
00:18:51,676 --> 00:18:53,543
"we need to reallocate funds,"

461
00:18:53,609 --> 00:18:56,443
it didn't happen the way it needed to then.

462
00:18:56,509 --> 00:18:58,309
And so when people come against us saying,

463
00:18:58,376 --> 00:19:00,243
"Oh, well you all are messing it up

464
00:19:00,309 --> 00:19:01,509
because of the way you're saying it,"

465
00:19:01,576 --> 00:19:03,543
the way you said it didn't provide results

466
00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:05,443
because we got death after death

467
00:19:05,509 --> 00:19:06,776
after death, after that.

468
00:19:07,043 --> 00:19:08,809
And so now when we change the words

469
00:19:09,076 --> 00:19:10,676
and we make people talk about it,

470
00:19:10,743 --> 00:19:11,776
then they want to say

471
00:19:12,043 --> 00:19:13,443
"The problem is with how we're talking about it."

472
00:19:13,509 --> 00:19:14,576
That's not the problem.

473
00:19:14,643 --> 00:19:16,309
The problem is you should have fixed the problem

474
00:19:16,376 --> 00:19:19,176
before we got here for me to put my mouth on it.

475
00:19:19,243 --> 00:19:22,043
-SPIKE: There you go. (CHUCKLES) -(LAUGHS)

476
00:19:22,109 --> 00:19:25,176
SPIKE: You explained to me. I understand that.

477
00:19:25,243 --> 00:19:29,076
-You broke it down. (CHUCKLES) -(LAUGHS)

478
00:19:29,143 --> 00:19:31,209
I love my people. Gotta get it to them.

479
00:19:31,276 --> 00:19:32,343
SPIKE: I know you do.

480
00:19:32,409 --> 00:19:34,543
We spend upwards of 400 million dollars a year

481
00:19:34,609 --> 00:19:35,676
for police in schools.

482
00:19:35,743 --> 00:19:38,376
We have 5,000 police officers in schools.

483
00:19:38,443 --> 00:19:40,676
That's larger than the Boston Police Department.

484
00:19:40,743 --> 00:19:43,643
That's larger than all the police officers in Las Vegas.

485
00:19:43,709 --> 00:19:47,409
So our divestment in NYPD means that we care more

486
00:19:47,476 --> 00:19:49,576
about making sure that our children

487
00:19:49,643 --> 00:19:51,809
have a high quality public school education.

488
00:19:52,076 --> 00:19:54,209
And that we also are redefining what safety is,

489
00:19:54,276 --> 00:19:56,343
'cause at the end of the day, for those kids...

490
00:19:56,409 --> 00:19:58,543
My daughter went to a school with metal detectors.

491
00:19:58,609 --> 00:20:00,743
For those kids, they don't feel safer.

492
00:20:00,809 --> 00:20:05,809
Many of their first interactions with police are in schools.

493
00:20:06,076 --> 00:20:07,809
Why are we investing in things like that

494
00:20:08,076 --> 00:20:10,243
instead of investing in our children?

495
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:12,276
The United States has now registered

496
00:20:12,343 --> 00:20:15,809
200,000, two hundred thousand, coronavirus deaths.

497
00:20:16,076 --> 00:20:17,243
I'm Jim Clyburn.

498
00:20:17,309 --> 00:20:21,109
I represent South Carolina's 6th congressional district.

499
00:20:21,509 --> 00:20:23,376
I made comments.

500
00:20:23,443 --> 00:20:26,743
I just looked at the headline a day or two ago

501
00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:29,243
in the Charleston Post and Courier,

502
00:20:29,309 --> 00:20:31,409
when they quoted me as having said

503
00:20:31,476 --> 00:20:36,776
that I was comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

504
00:20:37,043 --> 00:20:39,109
Now, it was not exactly right.

505
00:20:39,176 --> 00:20:41,076
I compared him to Mussolini.

506
00:20:41,143 --> 00:20:43,443
-SPIKE: (CHUCKLES) Il Duce, huh? -JAMES CLYBURN:  Yes.

507
00:20:43,509 --> 00:20:45,309
You caught some heat from that, huh?

508
00:20:45,376 --> 00:20:46,576
-Lord, did I. -(SPIKE CHUCKLES)

509
00:20:46,643 --> 00:20:49,509
Yeah. A lot of people give me a hard time about that.

510
00:20:49,576 --> 00:20:51,343
I never backed away from it.

511
00:20:51,409 --> 00:20:52,443
Jon Stewart.

512
00:20:52,509 --> 00:20:56,309
N95 plus surgical mask, can't do better than that.

513
00:20:56,376 --> 00:21:00,443
Give me Il Duce, who's got like a little bit of a asthma.

514
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:03,309
(WHEEZING)

515
00:21:04,609 --> 00:21:07,743
It's comic, but there's some connection

516
00:21:07,809 --> 00:21:11,043
to the absurd and the diabolical.

517
00:21:11,109 --> 00:21:13,809
And it's the connection that I utterly missed.

518
00:21:14,609 --> 00:21:16,409
Hello, Hynkie!

519
00:21:16,476 --> 00:21:20,109
(TALKING IN GERMAN, LAUGHS)

520
00:21:20,609 --> 00:21:21,709
How you feel?

521
00:21:25,209 --> 00:21:27,809
I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it.

522
00:21:28,076 --> 00:21:30,609
This was a blessing in disguise.

523
00:21:30,676 --> 00:21:33,443
I caught it. I heard about this drug.

524
00:21:33,509 --> 00:21:36,143
I said, "Let me take it." It was my suggestion.

525
00:21:36,209 --> 00:21:37,543
I said, "Let me take it."

526
00:21:37,609 --> 00:21:40,809
And it was incredible the way it worked, incredible.

527
00:21:41,076 --> 00:21:43,376
I'm Maggie Haberman. I'm a White House correspondent

528
00:21:43,443 --> 00:21:44,409
for the  New York Times.

529
00:21:44,476 --> 00:21:46,109
He was really-- he was also really sick.

530
00:21:46,176 --> 00:21:48,643
I mean, he was much sicker than they were saying.

531
00:21:48,709 --> 00:21:50,443
My name is Natasha Alford,

532
00:21:50,509 --> 00:21:52,609
and I'm vice president of digital content

533
00:21:52,676 --> 00:21:55,543
and a senior correspondent at TheGrio dot com.

534
00:21:55,609 --> 00:21:59,443
They put the combo in, you know, whatever safe was holding

535
00:21:59,509 --> 00:22:02,243
their best experimental drug and then gave it to him.

536
00:22:02,309 --> 00:22:06,043
And he bragged as if that was available to everyone.

537
00:22:06,109 --> 00:22:10,309
And it again, created this deadly impression

538
00:22:10,376 --> 00:22:14,076
that COVID-19 was not really as bad as it was.

539
00:22:14,143 --> 00:22:16,509
So, when we made the film  Contagion,

540
00:22:16,576 --> 00:22:18,643
I wanted to show it to Tony Fauci,

541
00:22:18,709 --> 00:22:21,276
so this goes back to 2011.

542
00:22:21,343 --> 00:22:24,076
And Tony said, "I loved it. It was great."

543
00:22:24,143 --> 00:22:25,643
Says, "One problem." He said,

544
00:22:25,709 --> 00:22:29,409
"Your vaccine timeline is completely unrealistic."

545
00:22:30,076 --> 00:22:31,143
And I said,

546
00:22:31,209 --> 00:22:34,076
and this is-- I'm quoting myself. I said,

547
00:22:34,143 --> 00:22:37,143
"It better not be unrealistic,

548
00:22:37,209 --> 00:22:39,576
'cause that's the time frame in which we need it."

549
00:22:39,643 --> 00:22:44,609
So Warp Speed was anticipated in the film  Contagion.

550
00:22:44,676 --> 00:22:48,509
We knew it was a question of when, not if.

551
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:52,076
My name is Aisha Langford. I'm an assistant professor

552
00:22:52,143 --> 00:22:55,643
of population health at NYU Langone Health.

553
00:22:55,709 --> 00:22:59,309
I signed up to join Pfizer's phase one clinical trial

554
00:22:59,376 --> 00:23:01,076
for the COVID-19 vaccine.

555
00:23:01,143 --> 00:23:03,276
-SPIKE: What is that? -Well, phase one trials

556
00:23:03,343 --> 00:23:04,676
are the first in-human trials.

557
00:23:04,743 --> 00:23:06,809
And usually there are less than a hundred people

558
00:23:07,076 --> 00:23:09,143
that participate in them across the country.

559
00:23:09,209 --> 00:23:12,543
Initially, I did not know whether I got the active vaccine

560
00:23:12,609 --> 00:23:14,043
-or the placebo. -SPIKE: Ooh.

561
00:23:14,109 --> 00:23:16,409
And it turns out that I did get the active vaccine.

562
00:23:16,476 --> 00:23:18,543
I guess I'm about five months ahead of the world.

563
00:23:18,609 --> 00:23:21,776
My name is Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

564
00:23:22,043 --> 00:23:25,343
and I represent New York's 14th congressional district

565
00:23:25,409 --> 00:23:27,176
covering the Bronx and Queens.

566
00:23:27,243 --> 00:23:29,709
I really believe that my political consciousness

567
00:23:29,776 --> 00:23:32,643
happened when I was working in a restaurant.

568
00:23:32,709 --> 00:23:33,609
SPIKE: Where?

569
00:23:33,676 --> 00:23:36,076
In Union Square at the Coffee Shop.

570
00:23:36,143 --> 00:23:38,176
SPIKE:  The Coffee Shop! I'm older than you,

571
00:23:38,243 --> 00:23:39,676
but back in the day that was the spot.

572
00:23:39,743 --> 00:23:41,709
-(CHUCKLES) -Yeah! (LAUGHS)

573
00:23:41,776 --> 00:23:43,043
SPIKE:  No longer there, now.

574
00:23:43,109 --> 00:23:44,676
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Classic. And I know,

575
00:23:44,743 --> 00:23:46,109
it's so sad, too.

576
00:23:46,176 --> 00:23:50,043
You punch in at 4:30, and you say at the beginning,

577
00:23:50,109 --> 00:23:51,443
"Okay, we're here to make some money."

578
00:23:51,509 --> 00:23:54,743
And you work it like crazy. It's a hustle.

579
00:23:54,809 --> 00:23:58,043
And you ride that train home at 3:00 in the morning,

580
00:23:58,109 --> 00:24:00,276
and I always say it was like Cinderella.

581
00:24:00,343 --> 00:24:01,543
Once the clock strikes midnight,

582
00:24:01,609 --> 00:24:03,443
the six train turns into a pumpkin.

583
00:24:03,509 --> 00:24:04,609
It is like that.

584
00:24:05,309 --> 00:24:06,576
(TRAIN BRAKES SQUEAL)

585
00:24:06,643 --> 00:24:09,143
SPIKE: How long have you been receiving death threats?

586
00:24:11,376 --> 00:24:14,543
I mean, they started since before I even

587
00:24:14,609 --> 00:24:17,409
got sworn into Congress, after I won my primary.

588
00:24:17,476 --> 00:24:19,543
Because that's when Fox News immediately made us

589
00:24:19,609 --> 00:24:21,509
public enemy number one.

590
00:24:21,576 --> 00:24:24,609
I'm a young woman of color from New York City. (CHUCKLES)

591
00:24:24,676 --> 00:24:28,209
Last night, a 28-year-old socialist from New York

592
00:24:28,276 --> 00:24:31,143
defeated the long-time Democratic incumbent

593
00:24:31,209 --> 00:24:35,409
in a congressional primary race. As President Trump said tonight,

594
00:24:35,476 --> 00:24:36,743
he got his ass kicked.

595
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,609
And many are hailing Cortez

596
00:24:38,676 --> 00:24:41,676
as a rising star on the political landscape.

597
00:24:41,743 --> 00:24:43,609
But in reality, her views,

598
00:24:43,676 --> 00:24:46,609
her policy positions, are actually downright scary.

599
00:24:46,676 --> 00:24:48,709
What it is, is that they were using all of that

600
00:24:48,776 --> 00:24:52,443
as a guise for more and more and more incitement

601
00:24:52,509 --> 00:24:56,443
and just normalizing outright lies about people

602
00:24:56,509 --> 00:24:59,509
to get other folks to fear you.

603
00:24:59,576 --> 00:25:02,376
To get them to pull a trigger first,

604
00:25:02,443 --> 00:25:05,176
to get them to break a window first,

605
00:25:05,243 --> 00:25:07,209
thinking that that act of aggression

606
00:25:07,276 --> 00:25:09,576
is actually an act of self-defense.

607
00:25:09,643 --> 00:25:11,709
Like, that's the trick that they pull.

608
00:25:11,776 --> 00:25:16,309
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.

609
00:25:16,376 --> 00:25:19,643
They're not sending you. They're not sending you.

610
00:25:19,709 --> 00:25:23,476
They're sending people that have lots of problems

611
00:25:23,543 --> 00:25:26,109
and they're bringing those problems with us.

612
00:25:27,276 --> 00:25:30,343
They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime,

613
00:25:30,409 --> 00:25:31,476
they're rapists.

614
00:25:31,543 --> 00:25:34,276
And some I assume are good people.

(CHILDREN CRYING)

621
00:25:59,176 --> 00:26:01,676
Cruelty is the point.

622
00:26:02,609 --> 00:26:04,809
This was an intentional decision

623
00:26:05,076 --> 00:26:08,776
to try and deter people

624
00:26:09,043 --> 00:26:11,809
who were fleeing persecution in Central America

625
00:26:12,076 --> 00:26:15,076
and the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala,

626
00:26:15,143 --> 00:26:17,643
Honduras, and El Salvador

627
00:26:17,709 --> 00:26:20,343
from seeking asylum in the United States of America,

628
00:26:20,409 --> 00:26:22,776
to the point that the decision was made

629
00:26:23,043 --> 00:26:27,709
that we will separate you from your children

630
00:26:27,776 --> 00:26:29,776
and you perhaps will never see them again.

631
00:26:30,043 --> 00:26:33,176
A cruel, dehumanizing policy

632
00:26:33,243 --> 00:26:36,676
that has left a generation of children scarred

633
00:26:36,743 --> 00:26:39,309
to keep immigrants from crossing the border.

634
00:26:39,376 --> 00:26:41,043
And a policy that this administration

635
00:26:41,109 --> 00:26:42,643
repeatedly denied was policy.

636
00:26:42,709 --> 00:26:46,109
Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU's

637
00:26:46,176 --> 00:26:47,643
Immigrants' Rights Project.

638
00:26:47,709 --> 00:26:50,743
But we're talking about 5,500 kids

639
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:54,476
who the United States government deliberately subjected

640
00:26:54,543 --> 00:26:55,643
to child abuse.

641
00:26:55,709 --> 00:26:58,309
Deliberately subjected to child abuse.

642
00:26:58,376 --> 00:27:01,409
Our government at the highest level.

643
00:27:01,476 --> 00:27:03,309
At one point, the government said,

644
00:27:03,376 --> 00:27:07,709
we need two years to give the ACLU the list of names.

645
00:27:07,776 --> 00:27:11,076
Not to find the families, just to give the list of names.

646
00:27:11,143 --> 00:27:12,509
And the judge said, "Two years"?

647
00:27:12,576 --> 00:27:15,043
Some of these kids are only three years old now.

648
00:27:15,109 --> 00:27:17,576
The government said, "Candidly, Your Honor,

649
00:27:17,643 --> 00:27:19,209
we didn't actually keep track.

650
00:27:19,276 --> 00:27:22,409
We now need to go through thousands of hard files

651
00:27:22,476 --> 00:27:23,609
to try and figure out

652
00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:26,176
which parent goes with which child."

653
00:27:26,243 --> 00:27:29,309
We had all these kids suffering right here in New York City,

654
00:27:29,376 --> 00:27:32,509
and it wasn't till much later that we found out

655
00:27:32,576 --> 00:27:34,743
that we're sitting with all these kids.

656
00:27:34,809 --> 00:27:37,743
In the last two months, this family separation policy

657
00:27:37,809 --> 00:27:40,676
has affected thousands of children.

658
00:27:40,743 --> 00:27:45,476
Two hundred and thirty-nine of them are right here right now.

659
00:27:45,543 --> 00:27:49,109
And this is just one of the centers in New York City.

660
00:27:49,176 --> 00:27:52,376
The folks here told us that since the program began,

661
00:27:52,443 --> 00:27:55,243
over 350 children have been here.

662
00:27:55,309 --> 00:27:57,776
All because of the family separation policy

663
00:27:58,043 --> 00:27:59,776
of the Trump administration.

664
00:28:00,043 --> 00:28:01,643
What is happening here? How is it possible

665
00:28:01,709 --> 00:28:04,643
that none of us knew there were 239 kids right here

666
00:28:04,709 --> 00:28:06,109
in our own city?

667
00:28:06,176 --> 00:28:08,609
How is the federal government holding back that information

668
00:28:08,676 --> 00:28:10,376
from the people of this city?

669
00:28:10,443 --> 00:28:13,176
Joaquin Castro, congressman for district 20,

670
00:28:13,243 --> 00:28:14,643
San Antonio, Texas.

671
00:28:14,709 --> 00:28:17,609
That was government-sponsored kidnapping.

672
00:28:17,676 --> 00:28:22,743
And it was born out of a bigotry by Donald Trump

673
00:28:22,809 --> 00:28:24,509
and some of the people closest to him

674
00:28:24,576 --> 00:28:25,743
like Stephen Miller.

675
00:28:25,809 --> 00:28:28,743
You've got to be without a conscience

676
00:28:29,543 --> 00:28:31,109
to be okay with that.

677
00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:33,543
Once you start taking children from their pa--

678
00:28:33,609 --> 00:28:36,576
from their parents, you are--

679
00:28:36,643 --> 00:28:39,743
you are committing yourself to a path that is, um...

680
00:28:41,243 --> 00:28:43,109
It's really hard to see coming back from.

681
00:28:43,176 --> 00:28:46,209
And the reports of how some of these children

682
00:28:46,276 --> 00:28:48,709
have suffered long-term psychological damage.

683
00:28:48,776 --> 00:28:50,443
When you're four or five years old,

684
00:28:50,509 --> 00:28:53,509
the only reason the world is not completely scary to you

685
00:28:53,576 --> 00:28:56,109
is because you think your parents can protect you.

686
00:28:56,176 --> 00:28:57,776
But then when you're being ripped away

687
00:28:58,043 --> 00:29:00,109
and you see your parents can't stop it,

688
00:29:00,176 --> 00:29:04,209
from then on in your life, you're gonna feel vulnerable.

689
00:29:04,276 --> 00:29:06,743
You're going to think something bad's gonna happen to you.

690
00:29:06,809 --> 00:29:07,809
Think as an adult

691
00:29:08,076 --> 00:29:10,209
about the worst one minute in your life,

692
00:29:10,276 --> 00:29:13,309
where you were the most stressed and traumatized.

693
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:16,543
Think if that one minute lasted six months,

694

696

698

It comes from China.

717
00:30:09,409 --> 00:30:11,709
For Asian businesses, for Chinatowns,

718
00:30:11,776 --> 00:30:14,576
they were the first to get hit with a slowdown

719
00:30:14,643 --> 00:30:16,709
in January of 2020 'cause people were like,

720
00:30:16,776 --> 00:30:19,543
"If I avoid Asian people, I'll avoid corona."

721
00:30:19,609 --> 00:30:22,576
Not only are you combating the coronavirus,

722
00:30:22,643 --> 00:30:25,143
but also combating misinformation about it.

723
00:30:25,209 --> 00:30:27,343
Fact or fiction, can you get the coronavirus

724
00:30:27,409 --> 00:30:29,176
by eating Chinese food?

725
00:30:29,243 --> 00:30:30,509
That is absolutely false.

726
00:30:30,576 --> 00:30:35,043
We actually worked with Mastercard research

727
00:30:35,109 --> 00:30:39,243
and pulled some data and showed that in certain Asian enclaves,

728
00:30:39,309 --> 00:30:40,776
the spending dropped between 82 and 95 percent

729
00:30:41,043 --> 00:30:44,509
between 82 and 95 percent in our neighborhoods.

730
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:48,643
So a lot of institutions that we all know and enjoy,

731
00:30:48,709 --> 00:30:50,443
they're closing. They're done.

732
00:30:50,509 --> 00:30:53,076
And then in March, we had President Trump,

733
00:30:53,143 --> 00:30:55,109
his rhetoric, really scaring people.

734
00:30:55,176 --> 00:30:58,076

-China virus. -Kung-Flu.

That lectern, that podium? It's powerful.

741
00:31:12,643 --> 00:31:13,776
It's strong. It was scary.

742
00:31:14,043 --> 00:31:17,109
I felt like he was painting a target on my back.

743
00:31:17,176 --> 00:31:19,709

744
00:31:19,776 --> 00:31:21,143
at the White House press conference

745
00:31:21,209 --> 00:31:24,743
that says "coronavirus," to say "Chinese virus."

746
00:31:24,809 --> 00:31:27,609
That emboldens and gives permission to racists

747
00:31:27,676 --> 00:31:30,409
to be able to say, "Oh, even the president

748
00:31:30,476 --> 00:31:33,543
is saying this, so therefore, for me to be racist

749
00:31:33,609 --> 00:31:35,709

-as our nominee." -SPIKE: She called it.

January 5th was election day in Georgia,

986
00:43:31,309 --> 00:43:33,743
and we knew if the two Democrats won,

987
00:43:33,809 --> 00:43:36,543
we'd take back the majority, and I would achieve my dream

988
00:43:36,609 --> 00:43:37,709
of becoming majority leader.

989

to represent our state in the Senate.

1023
00:45:04,743 --> 00:45:07,476
This is this world we live in. So the question is,

1026
00:45:14,076 --> 00:45:15,209
That's really the question.

1027
00:45:15,276 --> 00:45:20,076
Trumpism, right wing, anti-majoritarian,

1028
00:45:20,776 --> 00:45:23,276

1029
00:45:23,343 --> 00:45:24,643
or the perversion of populism,

1030

that's not gone. That's gotta be faced,

1031
00:45:28,209 --> 00:45:31,043
and a president of United States can't be the only one to do it.

1032
00:45:31,109 --> 00:45:33,343
Artists have to do it. Journalists have to do it.

1033

But we're the majority, baby! We're Americans, okay?

1035
00:45:38,709 --> 00:45:40,443

is just expect the unexpected.

1043

Donald Trump was such an existential threat

1044
00:46:00,609 --> 00:46:04,676
to our democracy, to decency, to the economy,

1045
00:46:04,743 --> 00:46:09,043
to a comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic,

1046
00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:12,443
because he's genetically incapable of doing anything,

1047
00:46:12,509 --> 00:46:15,676
it appears, other than caring about himself.

1048
00:46:15,743 --> 00:46:18,676
Donald Trump's corrupt behavior makes Richard Nixon

America's mayor was this interlude

where he had two weeks of a good performance after 9/11,

1064
00:47:05,276 --> 00:47:07,609
and he did, when-- you know-- up until the moment

1065
00:47:07,676 --> 00:47:09,409
that he tried extending his term,

-which was undemocratic. -(SPIKE CHUCKLES)

1067

Like, this is who he's always been.

1068
00:47:14,109 --> 00:47:17,343
He has always had this in him, and when he was mayor,

1069
00:47:17,409 --> 00:47:19,209
he cared enough about policy.

1070
00:47:19,276 --> 00:47:20,543
He was obviously hugely controversial

1071
00:47:20,609 --> 00:47:22,243
on a number of issues, including race.

1072
00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:24,476
There were policy issues that he was interested in

1073
00:47:24,543 --> 00:47:27,676
that outweighed some of these instincts of his,

1074
00:47:27,743 --> 00:47:29,376
but now it's just all that instinct,

1075
00:47:29,443 --> 00:47:31,643
and he and Trump bring this out in each other.

1076
00:47:31,709 --> 00:47:33,143
Like, why does Trump rely on him?

1077
00:47:33,209 --> 00:47:34,709
Because he's the only one who will go out

1078
00:47:34,776 --> 00:47:35,776

1238

1242

1243
00:54:49,076 --> 00:54:52,743
I have to say from my Black and brown community,

1244
00:54:52,809 --> 00:54:57,209

Oh, I've heard that term also.

1249

With Pfizer and Moderna, 40,000 people took that vaccine

1250

1251

It was already studied.

1252

And so the whole, "I don't wanna be your guinea pig,"

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: January 6th, 2021

1406
01:07:54,443 --> 01:07:56,343
is one of those very rare days

1407
01:07:56,409 --> 01:07:59,743
in American history that will live in infamy.

1408
01:07:59,809 --> 01:08:03,709

My name is Nia-Malika Henderson

1419
01:08:32,243 --> 01:08:35,209
and I'm a senior political reporter at CNN.

1420
01:08:35,276 --> 01:08:38,276
What we saw in Michigan with this plot,

1421
01:08:38,343 --> 01:08:40,743
that of course was disrupted by the authorities,

1422
01:08:40,809 --> 01:08:43,276
this plot to kidnap the governor,

1423
01:08:43,343 --> 01:08:47,276
that was in many ways a dry run and certainly a signal

1424
01:08:47,343 --> 01:08:48,809
as to a lot of the sentiments

1425
01:08:49,076 --> 01:08:51,309
that were simmering in this country.

1426
01:08:51,376 --> 01:08:53,609
Ultimately, law enforcement

1427
01:08:53,676 --> 01:08:56,743
basically let the folks be in the Capitol--

1428
01:08:56,809 --> 01:08:58,743
-SPIKE: With guns! -Yeah, they were armed,

1429
01:08:58,809 --> 01:09:02,476
and really there was no force that was used in Michigan either

1430
01:09:02,543 --> 01:09:04,309
and the people ultimately left.

1431
01:09:04,376 --> 01:09:07,209
But I thought, "If these folks see that they can get away

1432
01:09:07,276 --> 01:09:09,776
with that in the state capitols,

1433
01:09:10,043 --> 01:09:12,609
then why wouldn't they try that at the US Capitol?"

1434
01:09:12,676 --> 01:09:15,043
And that ended up being what happened.

1435
01:09:15,109 --> 01:09:18,376
You can't start this story the morning of the 6th,

1436
01:09:18,443 --> 01:09:23,109
because what a lot of people aren't telling the story of

1437
01:09:23,176 --> 01:09:25,643
was the fact that this was in a context,

1438
01:09:25,709 --> 01:09:29,476
that this was bubbling up and that we knew

1439
01:09:29,543 --> 01:09:32,643
that something was going to happen on the 6th.

1440
01:09:32,709 --> 01:09:34,776
A lot of these insurrectionists,

1441
01:09:35,043 --> 01:09:36,709
they didn't just show up on Wednesday,

1442
01:09:36,776 --> 01:09:39,143
they showed up on Monday.

1443
01:09:39,209 --> 01:09:42,643
And I look around and I see the only protection

1444
01:09:42,709 --> 01:09:44,409
around these-- around the Capitol

1445
01:09:44,476 --> 01:09:47,076
is just these, like, waist-high aluminum fences,

1446
01:09:47,143 --> 01:09:49,143
it's like the ones that they use over here in New York

1447
01:09:49,209 --> 01:09:51,309
for the parades. And I was like...

1448
01:09:52,443 --> 01:09:54,209
"Something's not right."

1449
01:09:54,276 --> 01:09:58,109
Because you so much as say "Black Lives Matter"

1450
01:09:58,176 --> 01:09:59,243
on Capitol Hill,

1451
01:09:59,309 --> 01:10:01,209
and there's like eight barricades that go up.

1452
01:10:01,276 --> 01:10:05,709
And we had gotten a warning, and the plan from Capitol Police

1453
01:10:05,776 --> 01:10:07,576
for that next morning, Wednesday,

1454
01:10:07,643 --> 01:10:09,743
all members to get there by 9:00 a.m.

1455
01:10:09,809 --> 01:10:12,676
Now that's not normal. The electoral college vote

1456
01:10:12,743 --> 01:10:14,576
isn't supposed to happen until noon.

1457
01:10:14,643 --> 01:10:19,243
So I decide, I'ma get my second COVID vaccine...

1458
01:10:19,309 --> 01:10:22,276
(CHUCKLES) ...because I was due for it

1459
01:10:22,343 --> 01:10:24,809
'cause I had gotten my first shot in December.

1460
01:10:25,076 --> 01:10:27,343
You're supposed to take them three weeks apart.

1461
01:10:27,409 --> 01:10:30,043
-That's it. -To understand the attack.

1462
01:10:30,109 --> 01:10:32,109
It's important to kind of understand

1463
01:10:32,176 --> 01:10:33,343
the layout of the Capitol.

1464
01:10:33,409 --> 01:10:36,043
That big dome that people see is right here.

1465
01:10:36,109 --> 01:10:37,776
This is where people kind of rushed.

1466
01:10:38,043 --> 01:10:40,576
And then there's three congressional office buildings

1467
01:10:40,643 --> 01:10:41,643
next to that.

1468
01:10:41,709 --> 01:10:43,409
I'm in this building called Cannon,

1469
01:10:43,476 --> 01:10:45,409
there's this middle building called Longworth,

1470
01:10:45,476 --> 01:10:47,709
and there's this far building called Rayburn.

1471
01:10:47,776 --> 01:10:49,709
So, you have to get the shot

1472
01:10:49,776 --> 01:10:51,643
at the doctor's office in Rayburn.

1473
01:10:51,709 --> 01:10:54,643
My name is Mondaire Jones, and I'm the congressman

1474
01:10:54,709 --> 01:10:56,643
from New York's 17th district

1475
01:10:56,709 --> 01:10:59,276
covering Westchester and Rockland counties.

1476
01:10:59,343 --> 01:11:02,543
The night before January 6th,

1477
01:11:02,609 --> 01:11:06,476
I received a phone call from Speaker Pelosi

1478
01:11:07,243 --> 01:11:09,076
and she asked me to join her

1479
01:11:09,143 --> 01:11:12,609
and other members of the Democratic House Leadership Team

1480
01:11:12,676 --> 01:11:15,509
on the house floor on January 6th.

1481
01:11:15,576 --> 01:11:17,376
I'm fortunate to be a member

1482
01:11:17,443 --> 01:11:19,109
of the Democratic House Leadership Team,

1483
01:11:19,176 --> 01:11:20,243
the youngest member.

1484
01:11:20,309 --> 01:11:22,243
I'm Congresswoman Ilhan Omar,

1485
01:11:22,309 --> 01:11:26,176
and I represent Minnesota's 5th congressional district.

1486
01:11:26,243 --> 01:11:32,243
I realized that a huge mob had gathered around the Capitol

1487
01:11:32,309 --> 01:11:33,676
-and there was... -(CROWD SHOUTING)

1488
01:11:33,743 --> 01:11:37,343
...no visible police presence,

1489
01:11:37,409 --> 01:11:41,609
there was no visible National Guard presence.

1490
01:11:41,676 --> 01:11:43,409
So I was on the House floor

1491
01:11:44,276 --> 01:11:45,309
at the time,

1492
01:11:45,376 --> 01:11:48,476
participating in a debate with respect to

1493
01:11:48,543 --> 01:11:51,343
the certification of the election of Joe Biden,

1494
01:11:51,409 --> 01:11:53,476
and we go in alphabetical order.

1495
01:11:53,543 --> 01:11:57,209
And so we were debating Arizona because that was the first state

1496
01:11:57,276 --> 01:12:00,343
that the House Republicans, along with Ted Cruz,

1497
01:12:00,409 --> 01:12:02,243
rose to object to.

1498
01:12:02,309 --> 01:12:03,643
And then the next thing you know,

1499
01:12:03,709 --> 01:12:07,043
the Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who was at the rostrum,

1500
01:12:07,109 --> 01:12:09,043
was immediately taken down

1501
01:12:09,109 --> 01:12:11,743
from the rostrum by her security detail.

1502
01:12:11,809 --> 01:12:15,809
I had told my entire staff with one exception to stay home

1503
01:12:16,076 --> 01:12:17,709
just out of an abundance of caution.

1504
01:12:17,776 --> 01:12:19,543
SPIKE: So you knew somethin' might jump off, right?

1505
01:12:19,609 --> 01:12:21,243
'Cause we knew something may jump off.

1506
01:12:21,309 --> 01:12:22,576
So the only person who was with me

1507
01:12:22,643 --> 01:12:25,443
was Wayne Williams, South Shore graduate from Brooklyn,

1508
01:12:25,509 --> 01:12:27,776
-I knew he'd be okay. -(SPIKE CHUCKLES)

1509
01:12:28,043 --> 01:12:31,476
-Everybody else stayed home. -Boom! Boom! Boom!

1510
01:12:31,543 --> 01:12:34,509
On every door in my office.

1511
01:12:34,576 --> 01:12:37,609
It was like someone was trying to knock the door down.

1512
01:12:37,676 --> 01:12:42,476
I get up and I immediately run over to G,

1513
01:12:42,543 --> 01:12:44,409
that's my LD, that's what we call him.

1514
01:12:44,476 --> 01:12:48,276
I run over to G and he just looks back at me,

1515
01:12:48,343 --> 01:12:50,476
he's about six feet tall, and he just goes,

1516
01:12:50,543 --> 01:12:52,576
"Hide. Run and hide."

1517
01:12:52,643 --> 01:12:55,109
So I see Jim Clyburn get pulled from the floor.

1518
01:12:55,176 --> 01:12:56,676
Now you know something's going on.

1519
01:12:56,743 --> 01:13:01,676
Then the Sergeant at Arms interrupts the debate and says,

1520
01:13:01,743 --> 01:13:03,609
"The Capitol has been breached.

1521
01:13:03,676 --> 01:13:07,276
The protestors are making their way to us."

1522
01:13:07,343 --> 01:13:10,476
And that we should look under our seats for gas masks

1523
01:13:10,543 --> 01:13:13,176
in the event that tear gas needed to be used.

1524
01:13:13,243 --> 01:13:17,643
And that we should prepare to lie down on the ground

1525
01:13:18,376 --> 01:13:20,109
in the event of gunfire.

1526
01:13:20,176 --> 01:13:22,809
Now, I've seen a lot growing up in Brooklyn in the '80s and '90s

1527
01:13:23,076 --> 01:13:24,443
in the middle of the crack cocaine epidemic.

1528
01:13:24,509 --> 01:13:26,809
Never have I been asked to secure a gas mask.

1529
01:13:27,076 --> 01:13:28,276
At that point, I knew

1530
01:13:28,343 --> 01:13:30,643
something different was happening.

1531
01:13:30,709 --> 01:13:33,376
Police officer with a bulletproof vest,

1532
01:13:33,443 --> 01:13:37,376
submachine gun across his waist, grabs me firmly by the collar.

1533
01:13:37,443 --> 01:13:38,743
I'll never forget that feeling.

1534
01:13:38,809 --> 01:13:40,543
"Senator, we're in danger. Come with me."

1535
01:13:40,609 --> 01:13:42,143
We go out the door of the Senate,

1536
01:13:42,209 --> 01:13:44,476
I make a right turn. And there are photos of this,

1537
01:13:44,543 --> 01:13:46,109
'cause they showed it in the trial.

1538
01:13:46,176 --> 01:13:47,743
I-- you know, I didn't even remember it.

1539
01:13:47,809 --> 01:13:49,776
Go through this door walking briskly.

1540
01:13:50,043 --> 01:13:51,476
Ten seconds later, we're running out.

1541
01:13:51,543 --> 01:13:55,743
I was within 20 feet of these bastards,

1542
01:13:55,809 --> 01:13:59,176
20 feet, of these insurrectionist, racist,

1543
01:13:59,243 --> 01:14:02,476
horrible human beings who had invaded the Capitol.

1544
01:14:02,543 --> 01:14:07,376
I keep hearing these huge banging booms on our door.

1545
01:14:07,443 --> 01:14:10,109
And I get into the bathroom when I hear

1546
01:14:10,176 --> 01:14:12,409
that whoever was trying to get into my office got in.

1547
01:14:12,476 --> 01:14:15,743
And then all of a sudden, I hear, "Where is she?

1548
01:14:16,776 --> 01:14:19,209
Where is she?"

1549
01:14:19,276 --> 01:14:22,276
I pretty much thought to myself, "This is it."

1550
01:14:22,343 --> 01:14:23,676
SPIKE: Thought you were dead?

1551
01:14:24,543 --> 01:14:26,176
I thought it was over.

1552
01:14:28,176 --> 01:14:30,609
This tall white guy in a black beanie

1553
01:14:30,676 --> 01:14:35,709
comes into my actual quarters, my actual office.

1554
01:14:35,776 --> 01:14:37,809
I then hear G's voice

1555
01:14:38,809 --> 01:14:40,109
and he says,

1556
01:14:40,176 --> 01:14:44,609
"Hey, boss." He goes, "Come out. Come out, it's okay."

1557
01:14:44,676 --> 01:14:46,209
And I come out

1558
01:14:46,276 --> 01:14:48,543
and it's a Capitol Police officer.

1559
01:14:48,609 --> 01:14:52,409
At no point said that they were Capitol Police.

1560
01:14:52,476 --> 01:14:56,809
At no point said anything, identify themselves, anything.

1561
01:14:57,076 --> 01:15:01,143
And so I come out, obviously quite rattled,

1562
01:15:01,209 --> 01:15:06,209
and he looks at me and I see anger,

1563
01:15:07,109 --> 01:15:09,576
like hostility. And--

1564
01:15:09,643 --> 01:15:11,509
But in that moment I'm doubting myself

1565
01:15:11,576 --> 01:15:12,609
'cause I'm like, "I just came

1566
01:15:12,676 --> 01:15:15,176
from this super high adrenaline situation.

1567
01:15:15,243 --> 01:15:17,309
Maybe I'm like projecting something?"

1568
01:15:17,376 --> 01:15:20,309
But I was talking to G after what had happened,

1569
01:15:20,376 --> 01:15:22,576
he was like, "No, it didn't feel right."

1570
01:15:22,643 --> 01:15:24,743
And like, he didn't know if he was gonna have to

1571
01:15:24,809 --> 01:15:26,376
to take on this officer,

1572
01:15:26,443 --> 01:15:29,176
and we're in the situation where we didn't know

1573
01:15:29,243 --> 01:15:31,343
if he was one of the ones that had turned.

1574
01:15:31,409 --> 01:15:33,209
Right behind me

1575
01:15:33,276 --> 01:15:36,276
was a second-term congressman named Colin Allred,

1576
01:15:36,343 --> 01:15:38,376
because he's also a part of the Democratic leadership.

1577
01:15:38,443 --> 01:15:42,043
But by profession, he was a civil rights attorney.

1578
01:15:42,109 --> 01:15:44,343
But prior to becoming a civil rights attorney,

1579
01:15:44,409 --> 01:15:47,709
Colin Allred played linebacker in the NFL

1580
01:15:47,776 --> 01:15:50,109
for the Tennessee Titans for five years.

1581
01:15:50,176 --> 01:15:51,209
(THUDS)

1582
01:15:51,276 --> 01:15:53,476
HAKEEM: He probably about 6'2, 240.

1583
01:15:53,543 --> 01:15:56,043
First of all, knowing that Colin was behind me

1584
01:15:56,109 --> 01:15:57,243
brought some comfort,

1585
01:15:57,309 --> 01:15:59,143
before he even said anything to me.

1586
01:15:59,209 --> 01:16:00,776
Because if you ever find yourself in the middle

1587
01:16:01,043 --> 01:16:03,276
of a violent insurrection, it's a good look

1588
01:16:03,343 --> 01:16:05,609
to have an NFL linebacker sitting behind you.

1589
01:16:05,676 --> 01:16:09,243
I walk over to my friend, Colin Allred.

1590
01:16:09,309 --> 01:16:11,376
I'm complaining about how ridiculous it is

1591
01:16:11,443 --> 01:16:13,209
that we are in this situation.

1592
01:16:13,276 --> 01:16:16,343
And he says, "Oh, is this your first coup?"

1593
01:16:16,409 --> 01:16:17,743
(LAUGHS)

1594
01:16:17,809 --> 01:16:20,243
HAKEEM:  He says, "I don't know about you, Hakeem,

1595
01:16:20,309 --> 01:16:22,543
-but I'm not going out without a fight." -SPIKE:  Mm!

1596
01:16:22,609 --> 01:16:25,776
Next thing you know, his jacket starts to come off.

1597
01:16:26,043 --> 01:16:29,143
So what am I gonna do? My jacket starts to come off,

1598
01:16:29,209 --> 01:16:32,176
and that was just instincts kicking in.

1599
01:16:32,243 --> 01:16:35,609
And then to Colin's s left, Sean Patrick Maloney,

1600
01:16:35,676 --> 01:16:38,443
who's also from New York, he's about 6'1, 6'2,

1601
01:16:38,509 --> 01:16:40,309
his jacket starts to come off.

1602
01:16:40,376 --> 01:16:42,476
So I'm like, "Whoa! It's about to be on."

1603
01:16:42,543 --> 01:16:45,309
-But what else are we gonna do? -We gotta do battle, right?

1604
01:16:45,376 --> 01:16:48,109
Because at this point you hear them banging on the doors.

1605
01:16:48,176 --> 01:16:49,343
The capitol security,

1606
01:16:49,409 --> 01:16:51,609
and it's only about four or five who are in the chamber,

1607
01:16:51,676 --> 01:16:53,443
are massing by the door

1608
01:16:53,509 --> 01:16:56,143
immediately next to where we're seated.

1609
01:16:56,209 --> 01:16:58,276
One of the members from Arizona

1610
01:16:58,343 --> 01:17:01,676
is Ruben Gallego, also had his jacket off.

1611
01:17:01,743 --> 01:17:03,143
Now, I knew then

1612
01:17:03,209 --> 01:17:05,109
that I was appropriately attired for the moment

1613
01:17:05,176 --> 01:17:07,243
because Gallego's a former Marine,

1614
01:17:07,309 --> 01:17:09,209
and he was heroic, along with Colin,

1615
01:17:09,276 --> 01:17:11,243
because Gallego was the only one who really knew

1616
01:17:11,309 --> 01:17:13,309
-how to operate a gas mask. -MONDAIRE JONES:  I'm waiting

1617
01:17:13,376 --> 01:17:15,243
for him to instruct us on actually

1618
01:17:15,309 --> 01:17:16,643
how to put the masks on

1619
01:17:16,709 --> 01:17:18,376
'cause I've never put on a gas mask.

1620
01:17:18,443 --> 01:17:19,743
I mean, most people haven't, right?

1621
01:17:19,809 --> 01:17:23,309
So there was a lot of confusion connected to how to dislodge it.

1622
01:17:23,376 --> 01:17:25,143
And in fact, when I dislodged it,

1623
01:17:25,209 --> 01:17:27,043
initially, I broke it.

1624
01:17:27,109 --> 01:17:29,709
I did not think I would make it out of that chamber alive.

1625
01:17:29,776 --> 01:17:31,143
SPIKE: Say that again?

1626
01:17:31,209 --> 01:17:33,809
I did not think I would make it out of that chamber alive.

1627
01:17:34,076 --> 01:17:39,476
So I, um, sent a text message to my children's father

1628
01:17:39,543 --> 01:17:42,509
and said, "If I don't make it out today,

1629
01:17:42,576 --> 01:17:45,709
please, you know, tell the children, um,

1630
01:17:45,776 --> 01:17:47,143
that I love them."

1631
01:17:47,209 --> 01:17:49,576
And I think that was the first time

1632
01:17:49,643 --> 01:17:52,609
it sinked in that the day might not end well.

1633
01:17:52,676 --> 01:17:54,809
-Uh, and so-- -SPIKE: So you actually thought

1634
01:17:55,076 --> 01:17:57,376
-you might not make it? -Yeah.

1635
01:17:57,443 --> 01:18:01,276
I mean, I knew, as someone who has experienced

1636
01:18:01,343 --> 01:18:07,276
political violence, that things could drastically escalate.

1637
01:18:07,343 --> 01:18:09,376
SPIKE: Did you ever think your life was in danger?

1638
01:18:09,443 --> 01:18:11,509
(INHALES) I was such in a whirl,

1639
01:18:11,576 --> 01:18:12,743
but yes I did.

1640
01:18:12,809 --> 01:18:15,676
I was like-- It was too much to think your life's in danger.

1641
01:18:15,743 --> 01:18:17,376
Just, you know, "You'd better get out of here,

1642
01:18:17,443 --> 01:18:18,509
somethings the matter."

1643
01:18:21,676 --> 01:18:24,076
As we didn't know what was getting ready to happen

1644
01:18:24,143 --> 01:18:26,509
and we're all kind of standing up looking by the door,

1645
01:18:26,576 --> 01:18:29,343
Sergeant in Arms says, "We're gonna evacuate now,

1646
01:18:29,409 --> 01:18:30,476
immediately."

1647
01:18:30,543 --> 01:18:32,576
It was orderly, nobody ran.

1648
01:18:32,643 --> 01:18:35,276
And then we were evacuated out of the Capitol

1649
01:18:35,343 --> 01:18:38,276
into a secure location within the complex.

1650
01:18:38,343 --> 01:18:40,543
And I just remember the Capitol Hill officers

1651
01:18:40,609 --> 01:18:42,809
saying, "Go! Go! Go!"

1652
01:18:43,076 --> 01:18:46,543
My name is Stacey Plaskett, and I'm the congresswoman

1653
01:18:46,609 --> 01:18:48,609
for the people of the Virgin Islands

1654
01:18:48,676 --> 01:18:50,209
of the United States.

1655
01:18:50,276 --> 01:18:54,509
The Cannon House office building was evacuated

1656
01:18:54,576 --> 01:18:57,509
because there had been a breach there of individuals.

1657
01:18:57,576 --> 01:19:00,476
I'm Congressman Ritchie Torres, I represent New York 15

1658
01:19:00,543 --> 01:19:02,176
in the Boogie Down Bronx.

1659
01:19:02,243 --> 01:19:05,543
I was in the Cannon Building in my office

1660
01:19:05,609 --> 01:19:08,409
waiting to vote on the House floor

1661
01:19:08,476 --> 01:19:12,209
when all of a sudden, the Capitol Police stormed inside,

1662
01:19:12,276 --> 01:19:15,409
telling my staff and me to immediately evacuate.

1663
01:19:15,476 --> 01:19:17,609
And since I'm new to the Capitol complex,

1664
01:19:17,676 --> 01:19:19,709
I found myself wandering through the maze

1665
01:19:19,776 --> 01:19:23,609
of office buildings connected to the Capitol.

1666
01:19:23,676 --> 01:19:26,043
Eventually the Capitol Police found me

1667
01:19:26,109 --> 01:19:27,576
and brought me to a secure location.

1668
01:19:27,643 --> 01:19:30,309
SPIKE: Oh, hold on. Hold on. You were by yourself?

1669
01:19:30,376 --> 01:19:32,309
I was separated from my team.

1670
01:19:33,243 --> 01:19:35,109
SPIKE: How did you get separated?

1671
01:19:35,176 --> 01:19:37,809
It was a scene of panic and pandemonium.

1672
01:19:38,076 --> 01:19:39,776
It was reminiscent of 9/11.

1673
01:19:40,043 --> 01:19:43,576
About 200 of us were-- were, uh, were posted up with colleagues

1674
01:19:43,643 --> 01:19:45,609
from across the political spectrum.

1675
01:19:45,676 --> 01:19:48,309
And I'm, you know, and I'm there with Stacey Plaskett

1676
01:19:48,376 --> 01:19:51,043
and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware.

1677
01:19:51,109 --> 01:19:53,709
And at some point, I'm like, "I'm more afraid

1678
01:19:53,776 --> 01:19:56,209
of getting COVID-19 from my Republican colleagues

1679
01:19:56,276 --> 01:19:58,676
-who were refusing to wear their masks." -SPIKE: Mm!

1680
01:19:58,743 --> 01:20:01,209
Than I am about, you know, dying at the hands

1681
01:20:01,276 --> 01:20:03,376
of one of these domestic terrorists."

1682
01:20:03,443 --> 01:20:06,243
And of course, a number of my Democratic colleagues

1683
01:20:06,676 --> 01:20:08,243
did get COVID.

1684
01:20:08,309 --> 01:20:11,043
Bonnie Watson Coleman is in her mid-seventies

1685
01:20:11,109 --> 01:20:12,476
and has survived cancer.

1686
01:20:12,543 --> 01:20:16,443
At the time. I also didn't know how serious it was.

1687
01:20:16,509 --> 01:20:18,343
You know, I didn't know that there were pipe bombs

1688
01:20:18,409 --> 01:20:20,043
that were found around the Capitol,

1689
01:20:20,109 --> 01:20:23,409
that some people were armed, that they brought gas.

1690
01:20:23,476 --> 01:20:26,576
That some of them were part of militias,

1691
01:20:26,643 --> 01:20:28,243
they were organized.

1692
01:20:28,309 --> 01:20:29,543
(SHOUTING)

1693
01:20:36,143 --> 01:20:39,476
And what is so scary is that there is

1694
01:20:39,543 --> 01:20:42,476
total lack of information, and so what we're seeing

1695
01:20:42,543 --> 01:20:44,709
is just like what we're able to see on TV,

1696
01:20:44,776 --> 01:20:47,643
what we're able to catch, you know, on our phones

1697
01:20:47,709 --> 01:20:49,376
and Donald Trump was president,

1698
01:20:49,443 --> 01:20:51,109
and the National Guard hadn't shown up.

1699
01:20:51,176 --> 01:20:55,776
Washington DC, the district that I'm the mayor of,

1700
01:20:56,043 --> 01:20:58,743
we do not have a Guard that we control.

1701
01:20:58,809 --> 01:21:03,076
The DC National Guard would better be called

1702
01:21:03,143 --> 01:21:04,576
the "President's Guard"

1703
01:21:04,643 --> 01:21:07,176
because the President of the United States

1704
01:21:07,243 --> 01:21:09,076
commands the DC National Guard.

1705
01:21:09,143 --> 01:21:12,176
I know how hard those Capitol Police officers

1706
01:21:12,243 --> 01:21:14,743
fought for hours,

1707
01:21:14,809 --> 01:21:17,209
-hours, hand to hand combat... -(CROWD YELLING)

1708
01:21:17,276 --> 01:21:18,809
STACEY PLASKETT:  ...but they were not prepared

1709
01:21:19,076 --> 01:21:20,109
for what was coming.

1710
01:21:20,176 --> 01:21:22,509
And that was a fault higher up than them.

1711
01:21:22,576 --> 01:21:27,076
There were 85 Metropolitan Police Department officers

1712
01:21:27,143 --> 01:21:29,309
-who were injured and-- -SPIKE: How many?

1713
01:21:29,376 --> 01:21:30,576
Eighty-five.

1714
01:21:30,643 --> 01:21:33,276
There were many more capitol-- United States Capitol Police

1715
01:21:33,343 --> 01:21:34,476
who were injured.

1716
01:21:34,543 --> 01:21:37,043
A United States Capitol Police officer

1717
01:21:37,109 --> 01:21:39,509
and an MPD officer were lost to suicide

1718
01:21:39,576 --> 01:21:41,443
in the days following the events.

1719
01:21:42,043 --> 01:21:43,276
(CROWD CHANTING)

-(ALARM BEEPING) -(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

1721
01:21:54,176 --> 01:21:55,809
There was lots of warning signs,

1722
01:21:56,076 --> 01:21:59,043
but I was not in charge of the Senate then, McConnell was,

1723
01:21:59,109 --> 01:22:00,509
so I didn't get those warning signs,

1724
01:22:00,576 --> 01:22:02,509
and I don't know what the heck he did with them.

1725
01:22:02,576 --> 01:22:04,443
I didn't leave the Capitol Building that night

1726
01:22:04,509 --> 01:22:07,643
until 3:30 AM the next morning

1727
01:22:07,709 --> 01:22:10,143
because we went back to the floor,

1728
01:22:10,209 --> 01:22:12,409
as we were committed to do, to make it clear

1729
01:22:12,476 --> 01:22:15,043
that we were not gonna let the insurrectionists

1730
01:22:15,109 --> 01:22:17,443
and the seditionists and the domestic terrorists

1731
01:22:17,509 --> 01:22:20,109
intimidate Congress from certifying the election

1732
01:22:20,176 --> 01:22:21,309
of Joe Biden

1733
01:22:21,376 --> 01:22:23,743
and completing our constitutional responsibilities.

1734
01:22:23,809 --> 01:22:28,076
Because you'll never take back our country with weakness.

You have to show strength and you have to be strong.

1736
01:22:31,043 --> 01:22:32,409
First of all, it was an inside job

1737
01:22:32,476 --> 01:22:34,276
because Donald Trump incited it.

1738
01:22:34,343 --> 01:22:35,809
So the president of the United States

1739
01:22:36,076 --> 01:22:37,543
incited this riot.

1740
01:22:37,609 --> 01:22:39,676
And then as these investigations go on,

1741
01:22:39,743 --> 01:22:42,509
we're starting to learn about the increased involvement

1742
01:22:42,576 --> 01:22:43,676
with members of Congress.

1743
01:22:43,743 --> 01:22:47,509
You had members of Congress on the side tweeting out

1744
01:22:47,576 --> 01:22:49,609
where the Speaker's location was,

1745
01:22:49,676 --> 01:22:52,343
while people were actively storming the Capitol.

1746
01:22:52,409 --> 01:22:59,176
Truth and facts are overwhelming that our president,

1747
01:22:59,243 --> 01:23:01,776
the president of the United States,

1748
01:23:02,043 --> 01:23:06,343
incited a mob to storm the Capitol

1749
01:23:06,409 --> 01:23:09,709
to attempt to stop the certification

1750
01:23:09,776 --> 01:23:12,143
of a presidential election.

1751
01:23:12,209 --> 01:23:15,476
It was important that we laid out the story

1752
01:23:15,543 --> 01:23:18,476
so that several generations from now,

1753
01:23:18,543 --> 01:23:22,443
people would understand what an attempt

1754
01:23:22,509 --> 01:23:27,109
on ending this democratic experience that was.

1755
01:23:27,176 --> 01:23:32,443
How one man galvanized the hate, the ignorance,

1756
01:23:32,509 --> 01:23:34,709
the frustration of people,

1757
01:23:34,776 --> 01:23:38,076
and massed all of that to himself,

1758
01:23:38,143 --> 01:23:40,276
for his own purposes,

1759
01:23:40,343 --> 01:23:42,476
to attempt to overthrow our government.

1760

REPORTER:  A New York City Department of Sanitation

1769
01:24:03,443 --> 01:24:06,476
employee has been charged with taking part in the riot

1770
01:24:06,543 --> 01:24:08,276
at the Capitol earlier this month.

1771
01:24:08,343 --> 01:24:09,809
According to a federal court filing,

1772
01:24:10,076 --> 01:24:11,276
43-year-old Dominic Madden

1773
01:24:11,343 --> 01:24:13,509
traveled to Washington on the day of the incident

1774
01:24:13,576 --> 01:24:15,409
while on sick leave from work.

1775
01:24:15,476 --> 01:24:18,043
The FBI says Madden was seen on video

1776
01:24:18,109 --> 01:24:20,709
wearing a QAnon sweatshirt entering and leaving

1777
01:24:20,776 --> 01:24:23,109
the Capitol building on January 6th.

1778
01:24:23,176 --> 01:24:26,076
He's been suspended by the Department of Sanitation.

1779
01:24:26,143 --> 01:24:28,043
Madden is expected to appear virtually

1780
01:24:28,109 --> 01:24:30,109

1784
01:24:38,109 --> 01:24:39,309
We knew

1785
01:24:39,376 --> 01:24:42,709
that the violence that was being planned for the 6th

1786
01:24:42,776 --> 01:24:47,409
was predicated on the lie about our elections.

1787
01:24:48,243 --> 01:24:50,343
The lie that we knew,

1788
01:24:50,409 --> 01:24:52,409
that Republican secretaries of state

1789
01:24:52,476 --> 01:24:53,576
had said were a lie,

1790
01:24:53,643 --> 01:24:55,409
that all of these states had said were a lie.

1791
01:24:55,476 --> 01:25:03,209
And Ted Cruz knowingly walked in that day and delivered the lie.

1792
01:25:03,276 --> 01:25:05,743
But I would urge to both sides, perhaps...

1793
01:25:07,176 --> 01:25:09,109
a bit less certitude

1794
01:25:10,343 --> 01:25:12,676
and a bit more recognition

1795
01:25:12,743 --> 01:25:17,709

You know, of course, you've got thousands

1799
01:25:24,643 --> 01:25:28,509
of National Guard troops around, more Capitol Police around.

1800
01:25:28,576 --> 01:25:30,709
You've got razor wire fencing.

The people, my people, are so smart.

1822
01:26:24,576 --> 01:26:26,276
And you know what else they say about my people?

1823
01:26:26,343 --> 01:26:29,043
The polls, they say I have the most loyal people.

1825
01:26:30,243 --> 01:26:31,776
Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue

1826
01:26:32,043 --> 01:26:34,143
and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters.

1827

1831
01:26:47,043 --> 01:26:48,443
and still get votes?

1832
01:26:50,309 --> 01:26:51,576
And you know what?

1833
01:26:53,209 --> 01:26:54,543
That motherfucker was right.

1834
01:26:57,076 --> 01:26:58,209
He was right.

1835
01:26:59,143 --> 01:27:00,509
I was dead wrong on that.

1836
01:27:00,576 --> 01:27:03,309
No pun intended, no pun intended. I was wrong.

1837
01:27:04,676 --> 01:27:08,376
And that lets me know that he knew his base.

1838
01:27:08,443 --> 01:27:10,043
And no matter what he did...

1839
01:27:11,709 --> 01:27:13,309
they will follow him.

1840
01:27:13,376 --> 01:27:16,509
And jump starting ahead, many years later,

1841
01:27:18,309 --> 01:27:20,143
we saw the proof in the pudding.

1842
01:27:21,276 --> 01:27:23,243
January 6th.

1843
01:27:23,309 --> 01:27:27,109
In order to understand Donald Trump and his bigotry,

1844
01:27:27,176 --> 01:27:28,709
you have to be a New Yorker.

1845
01:27:28,776 --> 01:27:30,809
Donald Trump was a outer-borough guy,

1846
01:27:31,076 --> 01:27:33,643
come from Queens. His daddy had money,

1847
01:27:33,709 --> 01:27:36,543
but they were not the Park Avenue elitists.

1848
01:27:36,609 --> 01:27:39,643
They were not accepted by the elite New York.

1849
01:27:39,709 --> 01:27:41,309
They were the rejects.

1850
01:27:41,376 --> 01:27:43,743
"Yeah, you got money, but you ain't one of us."

1851
01:27:43,809 --> 01:27:46,476
So he always had that chip on his shoulder.

1852
01:27:46,543 --> 01:27:50,509
And that chip on his shoulder is what he could sell

1853

1855

He was not one of them. He was a gawdy bigot

that was playing on them.

01:30:00,309 --> 01:30:02,309
They're spending millions of dollars trying to defame her.

1905
01:30:02,376 --> 01:30:04,309
And she was frustrated, and I looked at her and I said,

1906
01:30:04,376 --> 01:30:07,743
"Kamala, they have to do this to you.

1907
01:30:07,809 --> 01:30:09,809
They've gotta stop you in California.

1908
01:30:10,076 --> 01:30:11,709
If they don't stop you in California,

1909
01:30:11,776 --> 01:30:13,309
you are gonna be in the White House."

1910
01:30:13,376 --> 01:30:14,543
And she looked up, she said, "What?"

1911
01:30:14,609 --> 01:30:16,576
I said, "If they don't stop you here,

1912
01:30:16,643 --> 01:30:18,176
you will be in the White House." She goes,

1913
01:30:18,243 --> 01:30:19,376
"No, that's not what it's about."

1914
01:30:19,443 --> 01:30:20,709
-SPIKE: Can I say something? -Mm-hmm.

1915
01:30:20,776 --> 01:30:22,343

-Negrodamus! (CHUCKLES) -(SPIKE CHUCKLING)

01:30:27,276 --> 01:30:30,743
-I be predicting stuff. -The day she was elected...

1920
01:30:32,509 --> 01:30:33,576
she called me.

1921
01:30:33,643 --> 01:30:37,276
She said, "You know, I just wanted to let you know

1922
01:30:37,343 --> 01:30:38,676
two things." I said, "What's that?"

1923
01:30:38,743 --> 01:30:40,576
She said, "One, you were out there,

1924
01:30:40,643 --> 01:30:42,709
you were the one saying we should have a Black woman

1925
01:30:42,776 --> 01:30:46,143
on the ticket vice president. And I appreciate that.

1926
01:30:46,209 --> 01:30:48,143
You took me to Sylvia's, and sat me

1927
01:30:48,209 --> 01:30:51,776
with all the cameras there where you had done Barack Obama."

1928
01:30:52,043 --> 01:30:54,176
She said, "But the real reason I called you

1929
01:30:54,243 --> 01:30:57,543
is because of that Black little woman from Brooklyn,

1930
01:30:57,609 --> 01:31:00,409
Shirley Chisholm, that you used to work for

1931
01:31:00,476 --> 01:31:01,443

1932
01:31:01,509 --> 01:31:02,743
-(CROWD APPLAUDS) -She says,

01:31:02,809 --> 01:31:06,376
"I finally breaked a chip in that ceiling

01:31:06,443 --> 01:31:08,176

is sitting up next to the president of United States.

1951
01:31:58,209 --> 01:32:02,443
Nobody could tell our young women what they can't be.

1952
01:32:02,509 --> 01:32:05,609
What she achieved in the broader society.

1953

Also, don't forget what she achieved

1954
01:32:07,376 --> 01:32:08,609
in the Black community.

1955
01:32:08,676 --> 01:32:12,276

And you have alumni of historically Black colleges

1967
01:32:42,476 --> 01:32:44,576
and universities line up behind one sister.

1968
01:32:44,643 --> 01:32:47,143
The unity that she brought to the Black community

1969
01:32:47,209 --> 01:32:48,343
is unprecedented.

1970
01:32:48,409 --> 01:32:52,243
Vice President Kamala Harris just represents a new era.

1971
01:32:52,309 --> 01:32:58,609
Not only is she a woman of a multicultural background,

1972
01:32:58,676 --> 01:33:01,743
she has a modern blended family.

1973
01:33:01,809 --> 01:33:04,743
She's also in an interracial relationship.

1974
01:33:04,809 --> 01:33:06,376
I mean, there's just so many ways

1975
01:33:06,443 --> 01:33:08,743
that Americans can look at her and say,

1976
01:33:09,043 --> 01:33:11,609
"Well, that's me and someone like me

1977
01:33:11,676 --> 01:33:14,343
has never been at that high a level before."

1978

Vice President Harris is keepin' it going.

1981
01:33:23,476 --> 01:33:25,509
Our sister's going to be the next president.

1982
01:33:25,576 --> 01:33:28,443
She can be very clearly the next president,

1983
01:33:28,509 --> 01:33:30,743
and should be, she's qualified. And--

1984
01:33:30,809 --> 01:33:33,143
SPIKE: We'll give Joe four years, then he needs to...

1985
01:33:33,209 --> 01:33:35,109
Well-- And I give Joe a lot of credit...

1986
01:33:35,176 --> 01:33:36,176
SPIKE: Yeah, yeah.

1987
01:33:36,243 --> 01:33:37,709
...for selecting her. It took a lot.

1988
01:33:37,776 --> 01:33:40,576
I met with him several times and kept saying, "We need to--

1989
01:33:40,643 --> 01:33:42,543
You said you'd put a Black woman on the Supreme Court,

1990
01:33:42,609 --> 01:33:44,709
and a woman vice president need to be Black,"

1991
01:33:44,776 --> 01:33:46,209
and to his credit he said,

1992
01:33:46,276 --> 01:33:48,476
"I'm not gonna patronize you Reverend Al.

1993
01:33:48,543 --> 01:33:51,243
I said a woman, I'm gonna let the team decide."

1994
01:33:51,309 --> 01:33:53,676
He had put together a committee for that.

1995
01:33:53,743 --> 01:33:56,409
And he never patronized, but he finally chose

1996
01:33:56,476 --> 01:33:58,609
on the merits. And I'm sure people told him,

1997
01:33:58,676 --> 01:34:01,209
"You can't win with a Black woman on the ticket."

1998
01:34:01,276 --> 01:34:02,809
So it took courage. He did it.

1999
01:34:03,076 --> 01:34:07,209
And I think she's set up to go the one step further.

2000
01:34:07,276 --> 01:34:10,776
The United States right now on the verge of 400,000

2001
01:34:11,043 --> 01:34:13,509

2002
01:34:13,576 --> 01:34:18,043
explodes over the past-- over the past 24 hours.

2003
01:34:18,109 --> 01:34:19,676
Let us shine the lights

2004
01:34:20,409 --> 01:34:21,709
in the darkness,

2005
01:34:21,776 --> 01:34:25,276
along the sacred pool of reflection,

2006
01:34:25,343 --> 01:34:27,443
remember all who we lost.

2007
01:34:34,276 --> 01:34:37,176
Tonight we have new video from one of the facilities

2008
01:34:37,243 --> 01:34:39,576
coping with the influx of young migrants

2009
01:34:39,643 --> 01:34:41,209
along the US-Mexican border.

2010
01:34:41,276 --> 01:34:44,476
The access provided by the Biden administration today, Pamela,

2011
01:34:44,543 --> 01:34:48,709
was a pool access to a facility run by HHS,

2012
01:34:48,776 --> 01:34:50,109
which is different.

2013
01:34:50,176 --> 01:34:52,776
It is different than the processing facilities

2014
01:34:53,043 --> 01:34:54,109
that you see behind me.

2015
01:34:54,176 --> 01:34:56,743
This is step one, here along the border.

2016
01:34:56,809 --> 01:34:58,643
This is where the bottleneck is.

2017
01:34:58,709 --> 01:35:00,743
And this is where the Biden administration

2018
01:35:00,809 --> 01:35:02,809
still has not given us access.

2019
01:35:03,076 --> 01:35:05,443
The idea that I'm gonna say,

2020
01:35:06,343 --> 01:35:08,076
which I would never do,

2021
01:35:08,143 --> 01:35:10,343
"If an unaccompanied child ends up at the border,

2022
01:35:10,409 --> 01:35:12,043
we're just gonna let them starve to death

2023
01:35:12,109 --> 01:35:13,509
and stay in the other side..."

2024
01:35:15,643 --> 01:35:19,509
No previous administrations did that either, except Trump.

01:35:19,576 --> 01:35:23,243

2037
01:36:03,643 --> 01:36:06,043
that children were forced to take turns

I'm happy and excited and almost, it's unbelievable

2042
01:36:17,643 --> 01:36:19,776
to report, that in this last budget,

2043
01:36:20,043 --> 01:36:22,209
we got New York State to fully fund--

2044
01:36:22,276 --> 01:36:26,176
to phase in 1.4 billion dollars over the next three years.

2045

01:36:37,476 --> 01:36:40,143
all the inequities that Black, brown, and poor children

2052
01:36:41,309 --> 01:36:44,243
not just in New York State, across the country.

2053
01:36:44,309 --> 01:36:46,043
And also, I might add,

2054
01:36:46,109 --> 01:36:48,243
the scandal that Governor Cuomo was in.

2055
01:36:48,309 --> 01:36:50,643
I don't think if I-- if one of those things was out of tilt,

2056
01:36:50,709 --> 01:36:53,343
I honestly don't think we would have brought these dollars home.

2057
01:36:53,409 --> 01:36:54,709

If we are not part of the conversation

2063
01:37:06,776 --> 01:37:10,509
around these dollars, history tells us, for decades,

2064

that people will use this money however they see fit.

2065
01:37:13,676 --> 01:37:16,709
And I can't stop saying it's gonna be transformational.
