♪ ♪ >> Jesse: PRESIDENT BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS RATCHETING UP THE RACIAL RHETORIC AT A JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. >> THE PAST FEW YEARS REMIND US OUR FREEDOMS HAVE BEEN PUT AT RISK BY RACISM THAT IS STILL TOO POWERFUL. TO HEAL THE WOUNDS OF DIVISION SURVEYS NO LONGER TEARS US APART, WE HAVE TO CHOOSE TO BE BELIEVERS IN A DREAM, DOERS OF THE WORLD. >> LET US LOOK AT THE SACRED FREEDOM TO VOTE. THE FREEDOM THAT GENERATIONS FOUGHT, BLED, AND DIED TO SECURE. THE FREEDOM THAT IS UNDER ASSAULT IN STATES ACROSS OUR NATION. >> Jesse: IT SEEMS LIKE JOE BIDEN ISN'T EVEN TRYING ANYMORE AT THE WHOLE UNITY THING, BUT HIS WHITE HOUSE THINKS IT IS A PRIORITY. >> HE'S BEEN VERY CLEAR WHEN HE RAN IN 2020, IT WAS ABOUT BRINGING THE NATION TOGETHER, RIGHT, THE SOUL OF THE COUNTRY, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS STILL A PRIORITY FOR THIS PRESIDENT. HE HAS HAD MULTIPLE REMARKS ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE. >> Jesse: GREG, HAPPY JUNETEENTH. >> Greg: YEAH, WHY AREN'T WE TAKING THAT OFF? >> Jesse: I HAVE IT OFF. >> Greg: AS AMERICANS CHEMICALLY DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, IT IS RACIST, SO I WILL BE TAKING THAT ENTIRE WEEK OFF. WHAT A LOSER THEY ARE, THAT PARTY IS, A BUNCH OF LOSERS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR 50 YEARS AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NOT WORKING. THE MORE THEY WORK AGAINST RACISM, ODDLY, THE WORSE IT GETS. IT'S FUNNY THAT THE RHETORIC USED BY DEMOCRATS BECOMES MORE INTENSE, MORE EXTREME, THE BETTER RACE RELATIONS ARE. AND THAT IS BECAUSE THERE IS A FEAR THAT REMOVING THE DIVISION WILL DO TWO THINGS. ONE, YOU WILL HAVE NO NEED FOR CONSULTANTS AND ACTIVISTS AND RACE HUSTLERS AND RACIALIST AUTHORS. YOU NEED A WAR, NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY YOUR BULLETS. AND WE STOP FIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES, WE FIGURE OUT, WOW, THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACE, IT IS OF OUTCOME AS YOU SAY, THE SUBWAY VERSUS THE UBER CLASS, AND HE FOCUSED -- THE DEMS NEED TO KEEP THESE DIVISIONS FRESH OR ELSE THEY LOSE THEIR POWER. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO AGREE ON THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE MELTING POT, BUT THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS MELTING. AND YOU HAVE TO STRESS THE SEPARATION. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SEEING MORE SEGREGATION IN COLLEGES BECAUSE OF THIS TORTURED MENTALITY. >> Jesse: DO YOU THINK THE RACE CARD IS WORKING FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS. "THE FIVE" DID NOT WORK IN GEORGIA IF YOU LOOK A GOVERNOR KEMP'S REELECTION. STACEY ABRAMS AND BIDEN HIMSELF CHASED THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME OUT OF STATE. THAT INFURIATED A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. THERE WAS ALL OF THESE LIES ABOUT JIM CROW 2.0, REMEMBER THAT, FACT-CHECKED, THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT SAYS. DeSANTIS WON REELECTION BY 61% OF THE VOTE AND INCREASED WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS QUITE A BIT I DON'T THINK IT IS WORKING, AT LEAST IN THE STATES WHERE THEY WANT TO BE. THE MOST RECENT AP POLL, BIDEN APPROVAL AMONG BLACK VOTERS NOW AND KNOW MY DOWN TO 58% IN MAY, AT 90% EARLIER IN THE PRESIDENCY. WHAT HAPPENED? I WOULD SAY INFLATION, CRIME, IMMIGRATION, AND EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY ON SCHOOL CHOICE, COVID POLICIES, AND JUST FEELING LIKE KIDS ARE NOT BEING TAKEN -- WELL, THEY SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BASICALLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN, WHEREAS PARENTS ARE SAYING WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF OUR KIDS. A LOT OF SCHOOLS AND BLACK-DOMINATED DISTRICTS, THE KIDS CAN'T READ AND THEY CAN'T WRITE, SO THE PARENTS ARE RISING AND WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> Jesse: YOU ARE THE POLLSTER AT THE TABLE, OR AT LEAST YOU SAY YOU ARE THE POLLSTER. DO YOU THINK INDEPENDENT WHITE VOTERS WHEN THEY HEAR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT CALL THEM RACIST AND CALL THE COUNTRY RACIST, DO YOU THINK THAT TURNS THEM OFF? >> Jessica: I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS DOING. I THINK THAT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE STILL EXISTS SYSTEMIC RACISM AND CHALLENGES FOR BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T MAKE IT THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE BAD. IT IS JUST WE ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS AND THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO BE DONE AND THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO EMPHASIZE. THEIR AGENDA FOR BLACK AMERICANS HAS HAD A LOT OF WINS, WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THE LOWEST BLACK ON EMPLOYMENT, BUT LOWER THAN THE LEVELS WHEN TRUMP WAS THERE, I KNOW THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO COME BACK WITH, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF -- IT DIDN'T EVEN WORK. YOU ARE STILL TALKING SOMEHOW. HIGHEST LEVEL OF BLACK ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN 26 YEARS, INVESTMENTS IN HBCUs, 100 MILLION FOR BLACK SMALL BUSINESSES. >> Dana: WHY ARE THE NUMBERS DOWN, THEN? >> Jessica: APPROVAL VERSUS INTENT TO SUPPORT IS ALSO VERY DIFFERENT. THEY ARE NOT BEING GIVEN ANOTHER VIABLE OPTION. AND DONALD TRUMP DID PERFORM BETTER THAN BLACK VOTERS THAN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN. IT LOOKS LIKE IS ON HIS WAY TO BE THE NOMINEE. WE WILL SEE WHEN HIS INDICTMENT TRIAL COMES INTO ALL OF THAT. THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY CRUCIAL THAT REPUBLICANS KEEP DOING THAT IS A MAJOR TURNOFF TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY, AND THAT IS INSULTING KAMALA HARRIS. SO, YOU DON'T TAKE SOMEONE WHO IS SO MEANINGFUL TO THAT COMMUNITY, AND SAY THAT SHE IS A DIVERSITY HIGHER. >> Jesse: WEIGHT. CAN I SPEAK FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY FIRST? >> Jessica: NO. >> Jesse: ALLOW ME THE FLOOR. >> Greg: HE IS 1%. >> Katie: NO ONE IS GETTING IT TO YOU. TO BE HAVE JOHNNY GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TWO TIMES A WEEK AND THEY DO NOT SUPPORT KAMALA HARRIS. SPEAKING VERY BROADLY THERE. >> Jessica: IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST ACHIEVING BLACK WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY, NOW MADE IT TO THE VICE PRESIDENCY, AND REPUBLICANS AND PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT HER ON AIR SAY SHE IS A DIVERSITY HIRE, ONLY GOT WHERE SHE WAS GOING BECAUSE SHE SLEPT WITH WILLIE BROWN, SHE IS EMBARRASSED. >> Greg: I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. >> Jesse: SHE SLEPT WITH WILLIE BROWN? >> Jessica: IS THAT NOT TRUE? >> Dana: THEY HAVE NOT SAID THAT ON AIR. >> Jesse: IS NOT -- >> Greg: I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE ACCUSE US OF SPREADING RUMORS BY ACTUALLY SPREADING RUMORS. [LAUGHTER] >> Katie: DO THEY GET UPSET WHEN TIM SCOTT RUNS FOR PRESIDENT AND THE WOMEN OF "THE VIEW" ATTACK HIM HORRIBLY OR CLARENCE THOMAS IS CALLED A TRAITOR TO HIS RACE BECAUSE HE HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BLACK MAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY, AND YET HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT? I DON'T KNOW IF I NECESSARILY BUY THAT ARGUMENT THAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE KAMALA HARRIS, WHO HAS BEEN WIDELY CRITICIZED BY BLACK MEDIA, CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD, FOR EXAMPLE, BROADCASTER, NOT IMPRESSED WITH HER RECORD ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND JOKING ABOUT SMOKING WEED, WHEN SHE PUT LOTS OF BLACK MEN IN JAIL FOR THE VERY SAME THING. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITHIN HER RECORD AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA WITH THAT COMMUNITY AND WHAT SHE HAS DECIDED TO DO NOW. >> Jessica: BUT SHE WAS RALLIED AROUND -- GO >> Katie: IT OUT THE STRATEGY BY THE BIDEE VICE PRESIDENT TO USE JUNETEENTH AS NOT A MOMENT WHERE THEY CAN SAY, WOW, WE HAD THIS AMAZING RECONCILIATION IN THE COUNTRY, WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD TOGETHER, HOW CAN WE CAPITALIZE ON ALL OF THE GAINS WE HAVE HAD? AND YET THEY USE IT AS A WAY TO DIVIDE PEOPLE, TO ACT LIKE WE HAVE NOT GONE FORWARD IN THIS COUNTRY. THE FINAL THING IS THAT SHE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT, IN HER SPEECH, THAT FREEDOM IS UNDER ASSAULT AND THAT IT IS FOR RACIAL PURPOSES IN STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SHE IS TALKING ABOUT BORDER INTEGRITY LAWS, AND AS YOU MENTIONED, DANA, IN GEORGIA, THEY PASSED ONE AND CLAIMED IT WOULD DISENFRANCHISE BLACK VOTERS. BLACK TURNOUT WENT THROUGH THE ROOF, IT DIDN'T DISENFRANCHISE ANYBODY AND IT TOOK AWAY STACEY ABRAMS CAMPAIGN TALKING POINT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THE WAY SHE CLAIMED IT DID. THEY COULD USE IT AS A WAY TO MOVE THE BALL FORWARD FOR UNITY, AND INSTEAD THEY HAVE TO KEEP TAKING PEOPLE BACK. >> Jesse: I FOR ONE I'M SO STUNNED ABOUT THIS WILLIE BROWN SITUATION, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RESEARCH THIS. I MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO DO IT ON
