Bishop William Barber, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, joins us as the Republican National Convention wraps up in Milwaukee. On the final night, Donald Trump’s invective-filled speech, coming just days after the attempt on his life, was promoted as an address about unity. But Barber says it was only “a unity of rejection” on offer - rejecting the rights of women, immigrants, workers, poor people, disenfranchised voters and more. “They may have toned down their voices, but they did not tone down their extreme policies,” he says.

Esteemed Bishop Barber, Your words resonate deeply with me, reflecting my own thoughts and emotions. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering representation.
Bravo. Well said

You know if you take that part out of context he is a communist. That the people of the country should own it is what communists say. That the people who live and work should own the land they live on and the things they make, not capitalists parasites.
It's something that always stands out to me, how often the far right uses leftist talking points. Ronald Reagan talked in very socialist terms but he did so by just pretending the capitalists didn't exist.
❤
I ❤ Bishop Barber. Let's organize our talking points and repeat them incessantly to all elected officials from local to federal.
The GOP will never listen, they’ve staked their campaign in culture wars, agenda 47 and project 25. Let’s hope Kamala gets to hear the wise Bishop!
Don't forget the millions who died under his rule 😢 vote 💙 for women and sanity USA
And those who will have life shortened due to deregulation of environmental policies.
881,776 Americans died from covid under The Conald's watch ⌚ and we can't let that happen again.
Rev Barber, thank you for all that you do. I’m sorry I don’t have words ,right now, but thank you 🕊️
Thank you Bishop Barber.
Dear Bishop, thank you for being a voice of sanity in a week of insanity.
Thank you, Bishop Barber. I am so impressed with your responses, always. Thank you, again, Sir.
Didn't Trump undo the US-Iran nuclear deal?🙄
Yes. And you know that’s a bad thing. Right?
@@lovely-mk4rt I do👀 It's just the BS of him blaming it on Biden, not that I'm shocked he would...
Sure did
Gas-lighting the American people 😢
Propaganda
Misinformation
Disinformation
& the outright lies of a con artist and snake oil salesman
🗳 Vote 💙 💙 💙 up and down ballot
*Harris2024* *Let's work hard!! Let's Go!!*
Sure did.
They're the party of lawlessness!!
2nd Thessalonians 2: 8-10 And the lawless one will be revealed
And heartless 💔 too
Thank you. I am disabled. $13,000 / year can't keep me in a trailer . Suddenly they decide reauthorization is required 2 months after telling me I was cleared. I lose my Medicaid buy switching me to a plan without my knowledge. 😢
That is a disgrace.
It's just hard for some people to do the right thing we don't need Trump back in office
What did Biden offer? Better yet.... What is Kamala offering???? 😂😂😂
SANITY as a disabled woman Trump's policies will kill me@@thesunflower-samurai4705
YT don't think that those of us who are opposed to T don't notice that you are censoring us. We will remember that on election Day.
I'm not attending his speech buuuuuuut we can meet privately 😅
@@thesunflower-samurai4705Thank you
It was a avalanche of incompetence not just last presidency Hi Bishop Barber ❤️🇺🇲🦾😇👋
And the middle class is hanging on by a thread.
Which will be the very people voting against themselves .We must vote every time for forever! We must get rid of HERITAGE FOUNDATION!
Look at the combined earnings of the 1% and tell us, what is the median income of the 99%. What middle class. We've all been duped.
Thanks God for Rev Barber
What a POS. He pulled us out of the Iranian nuclear agreement. Now he wants to blame someone besides himself
Lock Trump up now
Never trust a man selling commemorative assassination hight top sneakers!!
Making money off a dead man.
Never trust a Democrat confederate.
😂😂😂😂
Trump 2024!
never trust an news source that lies. Nobody is demonizing immigrants. We're denouncing illegal immigrants. Rightfully so. We are still a sovereign nation!
You sir are so correct!!!!!! It is all of us THE PEOPLE!
Biden said he would extend the childcare tax credit, which greatly helps poor working people in this country.
Yes but the republicans stopped it at every turn
But they cannot afford to feed said kids under Biden😂😂😂. Like GTHOH!
@@Seeingisntbelievingthe inflation was caused by your supreme leader. You don’t know anything about economics. Go back to school and take classes. If you at least have a basic understanding of economics, you wouldn’t say those ignorant things in public. It shows your lack of education.
@@Seeingisntbelievingfunny we suffered more under Trump
Not like you care though right? Only rich people count.
Trumps Math is laughable!!
The computerization of poverty and upward mobility in an electronic age merits some serious structural investigation on how people's lives are being affected.
Very good observation!!
I would suggest we do not buy into the Tech Bro's UBI ideas without a careful examination. There could be a way to do it, but not at the expense of good wages or good working conditions.
Bishop Barber, Senator Corey Booker, and others have some real ideas.
In my county in small town East Texas our newly elected mayor (dem in which i voted in) is either giving our homeless population 2,500 fines and or throwing them in jail for vagrancy most are white, mentality ill and caught up in the system that they have no means to get out of. I hurt's my heart . Something has to change.
Bishop Barber is totally right! We shouldn't act like our politics depends on any individual who can set everything right, we have a party with _policies_ that makes things right.
I'm voting blue no matter who it is, I say no to project 2025.
Project 2025 is a blueprint.
A blueprint for authoritarianism
I'm pretty sure haven't read project 2025 at all so you're full of shit.
Definitely needed to hear this today. Maybe there is still hope.
What a lovely sensible man.
I agree with everything Bishop Barber said. Especially his calls for Democrats to stop undermining President Biden.
DN undermines Biden on the daily.
Bishop Barber thank you. You said right.
Thank you, Bishop William Barber for you dedication to the poor people’s movement 👑👏🏾🤎🇺🇸
Not only does the former president not offer unity during his acceptance speech, but he does not offer how he will address poverty among poor and low wage Americans.
Because he does not care! He just wants their votes
Did you even watch it? He did offer unity during his acceptance speech, during the first few sentences no less.
"Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.
The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart.I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.
So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States. Thank you. Thank you very much."
- Donald Trump
Don't know how anyone could have missed that.
@@echelon2k8please stop it, no one wants to hear lies from people who look like him and believe like him, he speaks with empty words, we’re voting for Kamala Harris and that’s it.
@@echelon2k8 Oh we didn't miss it...but that every other part of that droning excuse for a speech negated his hollow opening statement.
You can't cherry pick 5 minutes of niceties out of 90 minutes of hate and call it unifying.
Maybe it unified the Redhats, but it was abhorrent to the rest of the US and the world at large.
@@legndar1 Hate, what hate? The world at large isn't infected with the same TDS as woke America, believe it or not.
Trump would lie even if the truth sounded better.
😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
He is also just senile.
Unlike what they say about Biden's slowness this is what actual senility looks like. Trump is just so stuck in his own patterns that he can't break free of them.
Trump does not care about the truth only what feeds his ego. He lies because he has nothing of merit to brag about. His ego demands that he be the smartest, wealthiest and most popular person in any room. The reality is he is just insecure, manipulative and no smarter than anyone else.
@@MrMarinus18 *Harris2024* Vote 🗳 💙
New POTUS vs the Narcissist
Prosecutor vs Perpetrator & Predator
Just like he change the path of a storm, by use of a sharpie, expected to hit an area of this country very hard? You mean like that.😅
SPOT ON
Bishop Barber is smart man and well spoken
I agree. I hope he doesn't let up. People need to hear his message.
L😅
Me as a senior, having health problems, i. Need my health insurance, and a nice place to live not looking for free housing, but rent constantly going up along with everything else. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. And i thank GOD There's places to help for these things. Some people need help with their rent. Trump only talks about cut, cut, cut. He condones violence lies all the time, talk about how people love him. Only because he tells them what they wanna hear. I'm looking for change..
Poverty is solvable
That's why I'm voting Trump. Nobody I know was under poverty until Biden was installed.
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669umm if you were serious about poverty you would be a communist
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669. Wow! Are you that ignorant or a TROLL?
Jesus said the poor would always be with us, but we would not always have him. Matt. 26:11
No its not
THANK YOU,I MINISTER.
There is no excuse for poverty and starvation on this planet. Not one man, woman, or child should be hungry with the amount of food we throw away daily. I don't eat leftovers after 2 or 3 days; it gets tossed in the trash or I leave it for the animals.
Donald J Trump you cannot name ten presidents stop playing boy
Thank you Rev. Barber!!!! ❤
Mr. Tucker Carlson is an opportunist.
He’s sleeZe
Tucker got sucker written all over his raggedy face 😭.
Defining “Racial Justice”
• Racial Justice is the proactive reinforcement of policies, practices, attitudes and actions that produce equitable power, opportunities, treatment, impacts and outcomes for all. Equitable impacts and outcome across race is the key indicator of racial justice.
• Racial Justice is not the same as racial diversity. There can be diversity without equity. Integration is certainly beneficial, but not sufficient to produce equity. For example, in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the integration of all public schools. Yet our schools remain highly unequal. Even fully and partially integrated schools, experience racial “achievement gaps” and other disparities across race. A “diversity” focus primarily addresses the symptoms of racism--with the goal of minimizing racial tensions and maximizing people’s ability to tolerate difference and get along. A “racial justice focus primarily addresses the causes of inequality and the solutions and strategies for producing equity.
• Racial Justice is not the same as multi-culturalism. Culture is only one aspect of race. Another, even more significant aspect of race, is power. Race is a social construct that stems from differences in power--imbalances and abuses of power that underlie the categories of race and the culture of racism. Efforts to promote cultural awareness, sensitivity and inclusiveness are important steps towards, but are not the same as, racial justice. If one ignores the dynamics of power and simply treats race as a cultural phenomenon, racism will be perpetuated, even if things appear to be more multi-cultural.
• Racial Justice is not simply equality. Things can be equal, but still not fair. For example, schools with the highest concentrations of unwealthy students often have a disproportionate number of students who need subsidized meals, special education services and bilingual education services. These schools require more funding than schools that have a disproportionate number of wealthy students. Rather than each school receive the same--or equal--funding, schools should receive fair--or equitable--funding, based on need.
Diversity = Variety
Equality = Sameness
Equity = Fairness, Justice
How about black or 1/3 of a human 😅 the people of God 😅 but God has the last word 😅😊❤❤❤❤ Amen 🙏 no black hand on here lol
Trump said he didn't need to ask for forgiveness because he does nothing to need forgiveness. No forgiveness. No grace.
That is Anti-Christ
@@bigdre7120please tell the so called Christians that. They think this clown is a second coming.
JeZeus the Christ is an unclean spirit.
When Jesus asked the crowd, ready to cast stones, " He who is without sin cast the first stone". Trump would have said "In without sin".
I"M AM SO OF THAT GOT DAMN LIAR DRUMP JUST DISPIABLE 💙VOTE 💙
Techniques for REVEALING racism:
1. Naming: explicitly mentioning race by name--using words such as “racism,” “racial inequality,” “racial discrimination,” “racial bias,” etc. --so that racism gets acknowledged and addressed.
2. Framing: using a racial frame to describe an issue--e.g. “racial profiling,” “structural racism,” “systemic racism,” “racial redlining,” "real estate racism," etc.--so that institutional accountability and policy change becomes a central focus of the debate.
3. Explaining: making the existence of racism easily understandable and believable by:
•Using concrete evidence,
•Pointing out patterns, connections, and causes
•Placing the focus of attention on institutional targets,
•Appealing to people’s core values of fairness,
•Borrowing legitimacy and moral authority from respected sources,
• Using irrefutable personal stories to illustrate systemic patterns, etc.
You have to have white power can’t minorities can’t control the government 😢Sorry Joe
Racism is an action Racist is a thought perception 😂 minorities have no control.
Love this guy!
Thank. You Bishop Barber✨🇺🇸✨
He wants to watch people hurting.😊
Yes, lots and lots of white people are suffering in poverty also!!
Does a leopard change his spot?!
Why don't I know this man's work?! Ordering his book right now. He is SPOT ON. So many important points that are never discussed.
I'd like to add that many of the programs that he said would help to lower poverty-related deaths are also economic net positives; they will generate more money for the country than it costs to run them.
He said he was not protected but he didn't protect Mike Pence. Not that I like him but no to noose's .
I always love to hear Dr. Barber! Now a Bishop? No surprise there! Thank you Dr./Bishop Barber, and DN! and crew!
Lets go Kamala!🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Hearing tucker's rhetoric makes me want to puncture my eardrums. Shouty populist feelgoodisms.
Illegal immigration directly affects wages, I am a delivery driver in Chicago seeking a new position the pay for the exact same position has been dropped to 17$ per hour..... I am currently paid 22$ per hour. This is also why you don't here anything about a living wage, people are loosing their jobs because they are being under bidded by illegal immigrants.
Most if not all of the elected representatives of the USA and other complicit COUNTRIES/GOVERNMENTS should be investigated for corruption and all other relevant charges NOW!!!
They are CLEARLY have been bought and owned by Beebee n Izzzrahell, not just recently but unsurprisingly at all if this has been going on for decades!!
It’s so obvious that this master & slave relationship between Izzzrahell n the USA has been profitable for the corrupted politicians and the billionaires businessmen (technology, weapons etc etc etc).
Great!! These bunches of selfish, greedy and immoral people and their long lines of descendants will continue to become richer while MOST Americans (AND OTHER NATIONS TOO!) are getting poorer and broke by the day and foreseeable to be ceased from existence!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! 🇺🇸
WAKE UP WORLD!!!!! 🌏
Amen on Unite America 🇺🇸!!!!!! Poverty has no race,or certain religions. Im more afraid of 2025 than any immigrant. I would welcome a immigrant in my home, maga congress , Trump and vance NO.
It always amazes me how people will stop everything they are doing to listen to people like Tucker Carlson who is famous for litteraly doing nothing for a living but nodding, strangely giggling and sucking up.
Moses represents Judaism, and Jesus represents Christianity, if I'm not mistaken it's two separated religion and separated beliefs, I'm thinking with whom Trump is, because these past days it's been alot of God talking on arenas, if Trump praised Jesus recently, then what did he meant visiting Jerusalem many time and praising Judaism there? What's going on? Is this mean he's just using people's weakness and people's ignorance? What's really going on here really?
Barber is a saintly man.
Amen!
Absolutely NO MENTION EVER of the Homeless NOR the Houseless , white Americans were Immigrants and were provided opportunities then striped them of the lineal identity hence the Native American was born . Every group that ever sacrifised to come to these lands were directed towards specific jobs vacancies. It was just as messy if not more when they were brought before . Only difference is humans are able to visually see it all unfold via social media . Barber II has enough valid points to go around for everybody.
Having the protection of divine intervention doesn’t make you divine, nor does it mean that the Divine is ‘on your side’. In fact, in this particular case, it more likely means that the Divine has turned away, and left us to our own devices and to wrestle with the choices we’ve made.
True---they attempted to assisinate Hitler a few times and he survived!
We know the primary causes of poverty: Dropping out, using hard drugs, engaging in criminal activity/going to prison, having children outside of a solid relationship, having children while still a child.
To fix poverty, we need to fix our culture and values. We need to teach our children how to become successful. The difficulty is that the truth about poverty's root causes hurt people's feelings.
If I was a Christian, I would try to be the type of Christian that Rev. Barber is. He is a good man.

Dr. Cornel West for President DAMMIT and democrats NEED to STOP PREVENTIN from bein on ballot!!!
This country hates you why you surprised
Do you really see his weird ass representing the country?
I wish I can debate Donald Trump who won the main question I would ask living wage what you think about that do area American deserve a living wage to survive in a country and pay for everything they dreamed about
Amazing title! Says it ALL SIR!!!!!
Thank you!❤ Book needs reading!!!!
To me, watching only 5 to 10 minutes of the RNC was a total lacking mature Grown Adults at most. And as far as President Biden, AOC said it best, There's a lot of smoke out there about joe. At the end of the day Democrats will go with JOE. All Democrats. Ed now. So much for voice reply.
You edited your comment and still left the truth in 😂😂
You honestly typed “end of days to come”
Little Freudian slip?? 🤣🤣
You “fixed” it that time🤣. But you know you had it right the last time 😂
All dems 😂 check your ranks as they walk out on Joe daily now.
Biden is history. Grow up.
Does this former president ever have policy to speak on?
Trump never ever has offered encouragement or deversity.
Always devision and contention is his game.
Glad to hear thr points of putting polling before the power of the people and the constitution that outlines our political experiment in self government.
Nope! Same Old, AUTOCRACY!!!!!!!!
Trump. Will. Never. Change. That’s Why he starts to curse and fall apart now he saying miss Harris is garbage because he is tired of being nice He has never been nice If. He is Nice He Wants something . Well black and brown people need to unite. And get him with his own words.
Unity is not the same as uniformity 😮
COVID caused a lot of deaths, but also left a lot of people disabled or sick for life. The mishandling of it should be criminal!
Finally American Politicians learned from from the Mexican President...Gobernment should be to SERVE their PEOPLE. To take care of the Poor is for everybody's benefit.
A 5.56 round, whizzing past an ear at over 2,000 MPH, would leave behind no ear at all. It was plastic or metal shrapnel, like the shrapnel that sent 4 local officers to the hospital, from the same event.
What does Unity even look like???? What would you expect of a speech of unity?
There is another part to the story there are those that are saying that that was not a bullet that hit him at all but shards from glass from the monitor that was hit by the bullet that cut his ear. That’s a big difference if that’s the truth then that means he lied.
ooo tucker...there's a face and mouth that makes us undrestand how important birth control is .
Hearing your humble voice and views put my worried mind more at ease as you articulated so clearly what was so wrong with that speech and man and party. Thank you Bishop Barber.❤
Nothing says the future of America like Hulk Hogan saying phrases from the 80s and ripping his shirt off.
Trumps first day in office.... Sent his press secretary to speak, in order to "straighten out the crowd size numbers " for his inauguration.....What a narcissist
"If you can't pay your light bill. We're all essentially black in the dark" ❤️💯👏
Vote blue so this country will not be ran by a dictator.
Vote blue for voting rights
Lying has become a normal thing for Trump
Biden lies too, all of them are liars. So pick your own poison 🤔🙄
Amy, you are the most beautiful wonderful woman .......how do I say thank you.......truth is winning and you are a great part of this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Different Levels of Racism
(1) Structural Racism in the U.S. is the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics--historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal--that routinely advantage whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color. Structural racism encompasses the entire system of white domination, diffused and infused in all aspects of society, including its history, culture, politics, economics and entire social fabric. Structural racism is more difficult to locate in a particular institution because it involves the reinforcing effects of multiple institutions and cultural norms, past and present, continually reproducing old, and producing new forms of racism. Structural racism is the most profound and pervasive form of racism-all other forms of racism emerge from structural racism.
(2) Institutional Racism-unequal impacts and outcomes based on race, produced by key societal institutions such as the health care and housing systems, and education and employment systems. These institutions are racist when the impact of their policies, practices and power is to advantage and disadvantage whole groups of people along racial lines. When an individual acts within the context of an institution, and help to perpetuate these racial inequities, these actions are no longer just interpersonal actions, but rather institutional actions. (Thus, when a police officer treats a member of the public with racial bias--such as giving white people the benefit of the doubt while presuming people of color are guilty-- this action is institutional racism since the police officer is acting as a representative of a law enforcement institution.) Unequal impacts based on race are the measure of institutional racism, regardless of whether or not the disproportionate and discriminatory effects are intentional. Institutional racism is not just carried out by white people but also by people of color acting in institutional capacities, "just doing their jobs" and implementing decisions that have a negative effect on people of color.
(3) Individual/Internalized Racism-personal and private attitudes and beliefs about race influenced by the dominant culture. Manifestations include: race-based xenophobia (based on fear and ignorance of people unlike yourself), internalized oppression (acceptance of negative stereotypes and deflated images about yourself and those in your racial group), and internalized white privilege (a well-developed sense of entitlement; or acceptance of inflated or superior images of yourself and those in your racial group).
The light show at the RNC reminded me of hypnosis.
Fossil. Trump. Has a superiority complex And is realizing quickly that the sand in the hourglass is running out. ⌛️
Great interview, Bishop Barber. Well, in tune with issues important to the average person, and excellent at breaking down bs.
