Climate Denial is Racist

As climate change fuels an increase in natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and extreme heatwaves, the threat is not evenly distributed. Black Americans are more likely to live in areas that are more flood-prone, hotter, and have worse air quality. They’re also less likely to have access to life-saving measures like air conditioning. And even though President Joe Biden’s new $369 billion climate agenda has passed the senate after Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema finally got on board, the United States has done little to address the climate crisis in recent decades, especially as Republicans continue to either deny that climate change exists, or refuse to take action. Mary Annaïse Heglar, a writer and co-host of the climate podcast Hot Take, argues that this inaction is rooted in racism. This week on Into America, Heglar and host Trymaine Lee discuss the links between climate change and white supremacy. They also dig into a dangerous ideology that is growing in popularity on the far-right called eco-fascism, where adherents believe that the only way to solve climate change is to stop immigration, and even kill Black and brown people.

The Re-Freshed Prince of Bel-Air

In March of 2019, Morgan Cooper dropped a video on YouTube that quickly went viral. It was a short film that he made as a passion project, after he was struck with a flash of inspiration: What if the 90’s classic The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were updated for the 21st century? Within 24 hours of posting his project online, Cooper got a call from Westbrook, the production company owned by Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith. Will Smith had seen the video, liked what he saw, and wanted to know what Cooper’s plans were. In short order, Smith flew Cooper to Miami, where he was filming Bad Boys III. The two met, and Will Smith signed on to Cooper’s vision, reimagining The Fresh Prince with a much more dramatic tone. They shopped the idea around and found a home at Peacock, NBC’s steaming service. Morgan Cooper was kept on as a writer, executive producer and director for the new series. This week on Into America, host Trymaine Lee speaks with Morgan Cooper about Bel-Air, the creative decisions he’s making with the show, and his lightning quick rise in Hollywood. Trymaine also speaks with actress Cassandra Freeman, who plays Aunt Viv in the new show, as well as hip hop icon DJ Jazzy Jeff, who played Jazz on the original Fresh Prince, and who now hosts Bel-Air: The Official Podcast.

W. Kamau Bell to White People: “Do the Work!”

Comedy is an art form that consistently provides some of the most insightful social commentary to be found. When the best comics get on stage, they shine a light on the darker, often uncomfortable, parts of our collective psyche, in the process opening a door for discussion. W. Kamau Bell is a comedian who has used his art to highlight our country’s complicated relationship with race. And his CNN series, United Shades of America, follows Bell as he visits communities across the country, exploring the unique challenges they face. Along the way Bell has developed a fan base eager to hear his thoughts on race. And many of those fans are white allies. Bell's latest book, co-authored with Kate Schatz, who is white, is directed squarely at those white fans. Titled Do The Work!, it’s structured as a workbook for adults, complete with concrete actions they can take to create an anti-racist society. This week on Into America, host Trymaine Lee sits down with Bell to discuss how the book overlaps with his career in comedy. Plus, he and Trymaine take a deep dive into their favorite Denzel Washington movies. For a transcript, please visit msnbc.com/intoamerica.

Taking It To The Streets

On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton reports breaking news as "no kings" demonstrations are taking place across the country. Organizers have scheduled over 2,500 rallies with millions expected to join. Republicans have spent days accusing the protestors of hating America. But many of the loudest voices at today's events are calling for a return to the democratic principles this country was built on. All of this is happening even as the government shutdown enters its third week. And the trump administration is increasing mass deportations and militarized crackdowns on major cities. We'll have all the latest updates and the top political news of the day. The ranking member of the House Budget Committee is standing by. And we'll react to the president's unexpected commute. Disgraced former New York congressman George Santos has been released from jail after serving only a fraction of his seven-year sentence for federal crimes.

The Chaos Continues

In today’s episode of Politics Nation, Reverend AL discusses a tumultuous week for the second Trump administration, highlighted by the looming threat of a government shutdown. Additionally, critics argue that the Republican stopgap spending bill signed by Trump raises concerns. It fails to limit his control over federal spending. It has created a division among House Democrats, who largely stood against it, and Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who permitted its progress. Schumer is now facing backlash for allegedly yielding to Trump. Lastly, Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago following a Republican victory and made headlines with a controversial speech at the Justice Department. The federal budget remains unresolved, and Elon Musk’s Doge Group is scaling back government services. Significant reductions to Social Security are anticipated as voter frustration grows.

Stay Woke

On today's episode of Politics Nation, moments ago in Selma, I joined the commemorative march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to honor those who faced "Bloody Sunday" sixty years ago. Participating in this march has been one of my greatest honors as an activist. However, today’s observance lacked the joy of past years and felt like a call to action. The civil rights community is facing its greatest threat in decades from a Trump administration that is undermining Black advancement, erasing Black history, and attacking Black participation in society. Tonight, live from this historic site, I will discuss the generational threat to voting, civil, and human rights with three Black members of Congress, reflecting on the sacrifices made here in Selma 60 years ago.

Tariffs And Trepidation

On tonight's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton criticizes the president for escalating his trade war with new tariffs on Mexico and the European Union, imposing a 30 percent import tariff allegedly starting August 1st. E.U. leaders are preparing countermeasures while continuing negotiations. This situation feels repetitive for many in the U.S., as the president habitually issues tariff threats and sets deadlines. However, some of his vocal supporters are distancing themselves due to the Justice Department's refusal to release the "Epstein files," which Trump had promised. The DOJ claims the files never existed, causing a significant rift among MAGA supporters. Even some administration members are reportedly ready to expose the truth if the files are not released.

Underneath it all

On today's 'Politics Nation', host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses another torrent of news from Washington this week. Members of the U.S. House, from both parties, acknowledged the life of Charlie Kirk as the nation grapples with his legacy ahead of the far-right podcaster's funeral tomorrow. Meanwhile, Congress held high-profile hearings on public health safety and the leadership of the top domestic law enforcement agency. These hearings devolved into confrontations between FBI Director Kash Patel and lawmakers in both chambers. To make matters worse, the Senate adjourned without passing a bill to prevent a government shutdown, leaving less than ten days to do so. But the chaos in Washington is just a surface-level distraction from the underlying tension in Trump's America. The political divide feels deeper than ever.

NEWS
To understand the partisanship and bitterness of American politics today, you have to consider what happened in 1994. Steve Kornacki steps back from the Big Board to tell the origin story of the 1994 Republican “revolution,” the midterm election when the GOP took the House majority for the first time in four decades. It was set in motion by Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich, who — over the course of 15 years — pushed Republicans in a direction of confrontation and conservatism. Steve talks with Newt’s allies and adversaries about backroom strategy sessions and dramatic battles on the House floor. As yet another midterm threatens to upend the political landscape, Kornacki hears echoes of 1994 everywhere.
