amy: katrina vanden heuvel, thank you for being with us. when we come back, a man who critiques every level of the state. and their thoughts and not just thekatrina vanden heuvel is edir and publisher of the nation.and. she's also a co-signer of the magazine's open letter: "common ground: for secure elections and true national security." the letter is also signed by daniel ellsbsberg, gloria stein, noam chomsky, governor bill richardson, reverend dr. william barber and michael moore, among others. we will link to it at democracynow.org. when we comeme back, boots rile. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: "pimps" performed by the coup and produced by boots riley. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. we spend the rest of the hour with boots riley, director of "sorry to bother you," the dystopian social satire that follows one oakland man's rise to the upper echelons of an evil telemarketing company, only to discover a secret that threatens all of humankind. here is the crical

katrina, i will start with you, overreaction? >> well, i think this is pretty much standard, heather, the media and the left are sick. everything is doomed and dploom with the president. it started if trump is elected, we are all going to die and every single day the president has done nothing but deliver on campaign promises to people who elected by the way happened to be a lot of people. the idea somehow that the president is going make a bad pick when he actually campaigned on many of these people and their policies which are simply just originalists, people who want to follow the constitution, i think this is simply projection by the left because they are the ones that like to put in judges who legislate from the bench. it's not the right. we simply want to have a supreme court court that's going read the constitution and interpret it accordingly. heather: antoine i would ask you that, isn't what the supreme court judges supposed to do, judge based on constitution? >> let me correct katrina on one thing, 3 million more people

thanks to katrina for that. katrina was talking about nicola sturgeon attending that pride event earlier. here is the first minister speaking at it. scotland and the united states are long—standing allies and friends with family, cultural or economic ties between our country border kleyman both long—standing and strong are willing to the future regardless of who is first minister and whose president of the us. that is what matters. that relationship is what matters. that relationship is one that is based on values and it is those values that are most important. you think there's an onus on you to reach out to donald trump? i will meet with the president of united states if that opportunity arises, but i think any relationship between any two leaders has to be one that is is based on respect and honesty, and i'm sure the president andl honesty, and i'm sure the president and i would have much to talk about, about the links and relationship between our two countries but it's important to recognise where we dis

what was this neighborhood before katrina? >> it was more working class, more african-americans, more nativeborn local folks, more children in the streets, more renters. after katrina, many of those renter families got jostled out because of the whole disruption to l ives here. >> were you living here during katrina? >> yes. in fact, we stayed in our house in bywater. we witnessed the entire day and week. katrina day, august 29, was incredibly intense. eveningeuphoric that that we had survived. we did not realize what was going on, because we were in a dark house cut off from the rest of the world, that the levees were breached. only the next day, biking around, surveying what happened did i start to surmise. this is not me that disaster, this is a full-blown catastrophe. was 10 times worse than the last. by the time we got out friday, the conditions were apocalyptic. you are in the lower ninth ward here. this was the hardest hit of all the katrina affected areas in louisiana and mississippi. this was the hardest hit because i

in a court of law to discuss that i'm now joined by katrina. of the international impartial independent mechanism on the investigation and prosecution of persons responsible for the most serious crimes under international law committed in syria since march two thousand and eleven. it's great talking to you thank you very much for your time and i've been interviewing people in positions of power for quite some time but i have to say this is the longest title i've ever come across twenty one awards not counting articles and positions all to express the idea that this is not exactly the tribunal but it may lead to one is that accurate. what is accurate is that it's not a trade you know. and it is indeed to assist in investigating investigation and prosecution of those crimes and of the person that may be found responsible for it but as it is not a tribunals indeed this mechanism has only a sense if it can turn its files or its evidence to tribunals now you call it impartial and independent despite the fact that the key actors in the in the syrian

it katrina is right that most americans want good relations between the united states and russia. the issue is, does the president have any idea about how to achieve that goal? what are the requirements of it? one requirement as katrina suggests is actually a debate, although he makes it a lot harder to have a debate because everybody just has to gang up against him and has to because he requires it. the requirements are better russian-american relations are to start with a certain kind of unity in the united states and in the u.s. government. we're in the unique situation of having a president who has his entire administration and the congress against him on a major foreign policy issue. he can't do this by himself. second requirement is unity within the alliance. he's threatened that. a third requirement is some kind of leverage, the president seems to be interested in reducing our leverage. the incentives that we give russia to act responsibly. he wants to have a big deal in syria, for example, and yet he wants to -- his clear goal is to get out of syria. that isn't going to gi

katrina, you think we're all overacting to the helsinki summit. explain. >> i think we need sober realism on russia, fareed. we need more reason, less talk of treason. the open letter, yes, the mueller investigation must proceed, must be protelkted. but we must do everything we can to accident occsecure and prote election. that means protection against dark money, voter suppression, partisan gerrymandering and reduce conflict with russia. these are the two countries that control 90% of the world's nuclear weapons. so i think it's vital. our weapon was signed by people like ambassador matlock. by gloria stein hyheimsteinheim. these are people that understand that cold war is lousy for citizens, for women, for children, for progressives, deplete resources, empower war parties. we need a debate, fareed and i thank you for inviting me on. there's a lock down in the media. it's a one handed clapping when it comes to the u.s. having a relationship with russia. understanding putin is an authoritarian figure. also understanding the nation's open letter wa

>>tr ironically enough after katrina hit new orleans, the mayor tried to do the same kind of executive order in the courts ruled it was unconstitutional. this is the question. the governor has said this about it. he issued the order that would've allowed them to confiscate weapons and ammunition and other property although i don't know how you would defineon that one. he said he never intended to do it, this was a way of getting his national guard to get ammunition and guns without using the normal procurementus system. i don't know what that means. what it does mean is that our committee and we are sending a letter with chairman goodlatte from the judiciary committee asking themte for some documentation to find out if any guns have been seized and number two, why would you make this order in the first place and why would you keep renewing? he's renewed it six different times well after the danger is t gone and trying to realize if a hurricane as devastating as those two hurricanes were if it ever justifies the denial of the civil liberty or the denial of a constitutional right. >> tuc

welcome back to worlds apart that with katrina markie had to leave you out of the race mechanism for the investigation and assessment of evidence of crimes committed in syria since march two thousand and eleven madame markey the mechanism was created by the un general assembly in the final days of the barack obama's a. and it was allows then the month before the inauguration of donald trump has this change of power in the united states a fact that the development of this body in any way i don't think so the general assembly. gave us this mandate the secretary general. shortly thereafter appointed. requested assistance from the high commissioner for human rights to appoint a starter. the secretary general to define very quickly the terms of reference and then we started operating shortly after my my nomination so i don't think the politics in the us or elsewhere have really affected the development of the good as far as i know as of late may this year the trumpet ministration was still holding out but the funding. for the mechanism and according to the washington post. they may be wro

then, of course, there's black folks' suspicion that, during hurricane katrina, the government blew up the levies on purpose to flood out poor black neighborhoods and spare the white ones. that's right. the government even turned water against us. i'd expect that from racist assed lava, but not you, water. that's why i only shower now with lime gatorade. who can you trust? ( laughter ) i know you white people are all laughing, you all think black people is crazy and gullible, i can hear you chuckling. but this is serious. ( laughter ) when you realize how many conspiracy theories against us turn out to be true. like how black people with syphilis thought they were being treated but were actually part of a government experiment. that's right. the government did medical experiments on black people, and we didn't even get any superpowers. if i'm going to have syphilis, i should also get to be the she hulk or syphilis man or one of the new members of the avengers. fair is fair. and what about during the 1960s when we all said they were trying to sabotage martin luther king? and then in the

fact can these kinds of crimes be educated in a court of law well to discuss that i'm now joined by katrina. had of the un international impartial and independent mechanism on investigation and prosecution of persons responsible for the most serious crimes under international law committed in syria since march two thousand and eleven when the mark you know it's great to talk. thank you very much for your time and i've been interviewing people in positions of power for quite some time but i have to say this is the longest title i've ever come across twenty one awards not counting articles and positions all to express the idea that this is not exactly the.

and lying over all of this, this is something that you'll relate to very much, after katrina, there were so many evangelicals who i went to church with that we were -- we would do daily relieves after katrina over to mississippi and louisiana and they were shattered. their faith in george w. bush were shattered by what they saw on the ground in mississippi and louisiana that nothing was being done. well, the question, where are the children that mika has repeated over and over again. i'm hearing from evangelicals that supported him, this is not who we are. >> well, and you can hear about the russia investigation constantly, but in my opinion, that's not going to move voters. but my mom, my sister-in-law, they voted for trump. they do not like these babies who are separated from their parents. and that's a story that is just an albatross, as it should be. torturing children on the border of our great nation. and it's something that donald trump can't run away from. >> but they can vote according to their pocketbooks, steve ratner, and for that, many are doing you would say pretty well. >>

. >> it ought not to happen, ironically enough after katrina hit in new orleans, the mayor tried to do that same kind of executive order, and eventually the courts ruled that was unconstitutional. this is the question. he said different things about it, the order that would've allowed people to confiscate the weapons and ammunition and other property -- i don't know how you define that one. he said he never intended to do it, this is a way of the national guard getting ammunition and guns without using the normal procurement system, i don't know what that means. our committee and we are sending a letter with chairman goodlatt goodlatte, asking them for documentation and information to find out if any guns have been seized and why would you make this order in the first place and why would you keep renewing? he is renewed at different times well after the danger is gone and trying to realize if a hurricane as devastating as those two hurricanes were, if that ever justifies the denial of a civil liberty or the denial of a constitutional right. >> tucker: why not ban free speech, people sa

let's take it up with trump 2020, katrina pearson. >> good to be here. elizabeth: should democrats say support us? >> i'm not sure they will do that just yet. but i will say that it is quite ironic how the tables have turned. and i think the left has donald trump, "medicare for all" brothers can show they are. the initiative that is part of the political arm already running as a may for democrats supporting a position on the immigration. the joke is the president said, coming from the assembly that that they are the ones that did not come to the table to handle the immigration issue to begin with. it is quite disturbing to see that you have a koch brothers now, i guess, trying to pick a fight with the american people and is not just donald trump it is president trump, he upset both sides of the apple card. the democrats and republicans alike and that's why people like him. now you have the "medicare for all" brothers essentially command saying, we are against the policies that donald trump is supporting to help americans for what exactly? i think that wi
