Eric Holder needs to be more of a presence on the networks! His voice is so important!!
There's a lot he's doing behind the scene. Search him out. He's hard at work.
Yes! I watched Mitch steal those 2 seats with naked pride and a smirk just to be sure everyone knew what he did. For Barret to sit in the seat of RGB is judicial blasphemy.
"judicial blasphemy" -- A seriously accurate description!
Vote 💙🇺🇸blue for serious SCOTUS reforms ! 🇺🇸
Yep, not much more obscene than that dichotomy!

Thank you Symone for you’re brilliance and wisdom and thank you to for you’re advice and wisdom too Eric!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😇😇😇😇💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you Simone. I have been worried about this very topic and you covered it. Well thank you Eric Holder.
Eric Holder you are doing a great job on Voting Rights and Voter Suppression. Thank You 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you for your service to our country!💙💙
Eric Holder is the kind of guy you want on your side!! Fighting against gerrymandering!
Fighting against truth coming out about a deceptive candidate.

@@hpotter2954 Totally amazing how someone can ignore what T has done. His handling of COVID killed a million plus in America. Jan 6th where he incited a riot that killed patriotic defenders. How can justify that, it's way beyond WEIRD !!
Formerly incarcerated people, that served their time and re-entered society, fundamentally should have the right to vote because they still have to pay taxes. What happened to no taxation without representation?
"No taxation without representation (terms and conditions may apply)"
Particularly since you KNOW they get counted in the CENSUS while they're locked up. Once they get out, that's the FIRST thing they should get back.
agreed.
They should use trump with 34 felons to run for president
Incarcerated people should also have the right to vote.
Outstanding and informative interview! Great job Simone and Fmr. AG Holder 💙🌊💙🌊💙!!!
Thanks Simone for this interview with Mr Eric Holder!! I really enjoyed this one. What a great guy!!
3:08, You did a great job AG Holder. And thanks for shouting out UA-cam💯That's where we are ALL AT!💯
That interview was so enjoyable and informative, thank you Simone 🙏💙💙💙
I'm sure it was, but honestly, I was a bit distracted by her legs 🤪
To be honest with you, MSNBC IS THE BEST CABLE TV NETWORK
Mr Eric needs to be a Supreme Court justice . He is a great jurist
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I refuse to believe this man is in his 70s. Ageless
If you don't drink alcohol in excess. If you don't smoke( not sure if he ever did smoke). If you keep your weight under control...it's completely doable. It all takes discipline and self esteem.
Good genes helps too..
@@yvonneplant9434 I'm glad you mentioned self-esteem. Lack of it and the consequences are as bad as just about anything else!
And handsome too!
The bots are getting wild. Someone must be really scared of Tim Walz, if they’re spending this much money on trolling.
💯😁👍 Harris 🇺🇸 Walz
Fascinating isn't it?
I think it is because a lot of Americans can relate to him. He is just a regular guy. He seems like the real deal.
@@anntodd1233 Walz IS the real deal 👍
I Love former Attorney General Eric Holder!!!
Amazing job of vetting, and picking Governer Tim Walz.❤❤
This was a great conversation. Symone did a great job, and Holder is a smart and perceptive guy.
That Was fantastic
I think Eric Holder is awesome 💙⚖️💙
Thank you both very much
💙💙👍👍💙💙⚖️
They say that the wheels of justice and government turn slowly and that is true, however, when something is imperative, it's good to know that those wheels can be re-oiled so they speed up. It was absolutely imperative the vetting process of Tim Walz be done fully and quickly. It certainly was and knowing Eric Holder, it was done thoroughly.
Simone Sanders is stunning and smart!!! Love seeing her strong presence in the media!!!!
Great conversation. I thought I had a pretty good idea about how elections work. But listening to conversations like this one has helped me realize that I have alot more to learn about our elections and voting systems.
Very informative interview. It is always good to see Former AG Holder and Symone is an excellent interviewer.
This felt like an enlightening conversation between friends that we got to sit in on... which it probably was.
@@BimRen246 I agree 💯 💙💙💙👏👏👏🙏🇺🇲
It really did. She was on Pod Save America with Jon Lovett yesterday, and it was the same thing - like sitting down with fun, well-informed old friends!
@@chezmoi42 I am here watching that podcast now.
I want to see Eric Holer in the Supreme Court!
Love you Eric Holder - great job vetting Tim Walz and your job in the Obama Administration and the important work your doing now. Thank you!!!! Vote blue 💙
Thank you, Vice President Kamala Harris for YOUR excellent choice in your running mate (defying all the so-called Democrat "stars'")!
Eric Holder, Thank you!
Proportional election system would eliminate gerrymandering and redistricting issues. And would give voters far more real options.
Unfortunately it wouldn't stop gerrymandering but it would give voters far more real options.
Fascinating. Important! Also, hilarious byplay.
Thank you both!
Simone is a surprisingly 'fun' and skilled interviewer.👏💐💙💙💙
She’s a political expert. She knows the topics well. She’s great.
Plus she’s skilled at not “overpowering” her guests with her confidence and her intellect, which is a tough thing for highly intelligent black women to do successfully, without being called “aggressive.”
@@oliviaturner7388 Well written comment.👏👏👏💙💙💙
If you’ve served your time, are subject to the laws, and PAY TAXES you outta be allowed to vote!!!!
I also believe ex-felons should be able to Vote. How does it help anyone who paid their debt to society, and far removed from incarceration, hopefully thriving, still unable to cast a vote. Laws should change around this voting issue.
If we are going to expand the SCOTUS, we may want to follow the thinking of 1869, when the current number was established by Congress. Back then, we had nine Federal Courts of Appeal, a population of 38,558,371 and did not allow Blacks or women to vote, and we had 37 states. Now we have 13 Federal Courts of Appeal, a population of between 335,893,238 and 345,694,376, depending on the source, and 50 states. I believe the SCOTUS should be a reflection of that.
I also believe in term limits, but that would require a Constitutional amendment.
13 is the magic number.
I'm in Ohio. Redistricting is SO important. We are held hostage voting on illegal maps, gerrymandered to the extreme by extremists.
I have disliked Symone for years, but she did a good job here, a really nice interview. i have never seen anyone interviewed about vetting a candidate. Holder has been doing vital work since he left the Obama admin.
"In 2023, Holder was one of the lawyers representing Tennessee politicians Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson, who were expelled from the Tennessee House of Representatives for leading a protest in favor of gun control on the House floor."
this work and his work protecting our voting rights has just been....great.
You disliked her because…?
@@oliviaturner7388 She's a very strong personality, and doesn't care to try to fit the mold so many others struggle to jam themselves into. Many people find that off-putting or intimidating.
Symone did an awesome interview
Judge Luttig says SCOTUS term should be 15 years.
Vote 💙🇺🇸blue for serious SCOTUS reform 🇺🇸
Thanks for a discussion of an important topic. Fairly drawn districts are crucial to arrive at officials that are truly representative said district. These weirdly drawn districts must go!
In Wisconsin, for *15 YEARS,* Democratic votes for state candidates and initiatives were in the strong majority more than 90% of the time, but we only very rarely won an election due to gerrymandered maps giving republicans a supermajority in both houses. Personally, this has affected me, because people with severe chronic pain have been determined to be criminals by our legislature and are either no no longer able to get opioid medication, because their physicians are regulated by a MAGA filled “medical board” which has the power to take their licenses to practice if they go outside the “legitimate opioid use is banned” parameter. For long standing chronic pain sufferers as I am, this criminalizing of a legitimate medical condition means that _my daily dosage of an opioid-which had managed my pain to a level that I could stand it _*_FOR 15 YEARS_*_ without one increase-had to be cut by 90%._ Just think about that for a minute. *My dogs get better pain management after surgery or injury than I do, and THIS IS INHUMANE AND DISGUSTING!!!* We are so debilitated in our daily lives-I am now in bed 95% of my life-that we can’t get together and fight it. This is fascism, vile, cruel, and completely unnecessary.
Oh honey I'm so sorry!!!
It is inhumane.
🙏 💮
voraciousreader: I understand your anger, because I share it. Not only are we treated like criminals for having chronic pain in any medical setting, we are shamed as if we're less than because we have pain in the first place...
Not at all fair or empathetic approach!
I hope something can be done about this. If they were the ones to suffer pain they’d be thinking differently. May God intervene and take away your pain.
A friend's husband had a slow form of pancreatic cancer but he did not get morphine until she put him in hospice the last few days of his life. I told her afterward that he could have been a hospice patient for years but too late for his years of suffering. My husband was a hospice patient in a private nursing home for three years. All his physician did was write that he might die within 6 months. He got help from Hospice techs who could monitor his care also.
I’d love to have fair redistributing in all states.
Excellent conversation
Fabulous interview. 🇺🇸 ⚖️

💙💙 KAMALA HARRIS 💙💙 TIM WALZ 💙💙
This is such an informative interview!!! Thank you for the work you are doing.
Symone, I adore you. Sweet, sassy Nebraska girl with spice. Yaas, Queen! Thank you for helping finding Tim Walz, AG Holder!
The Fl legislature then made it mandatory that released prisoners must pay their court fees in order to vote. They arrested anyone who tried to vote. Mike Bloomberg then paid the court fees of that crop of released prisoners so now they can vote but the court fees is still on the books as a deterrence to voting in Fl.
Sorry, vetting , what did they think they may find in Tim Walz's past that would be anything worse than tRump. I wouldn't care if Tim picked his nose on camera, I'd still vote him and Harris.
👏👏👏👍

Love you Simone, and you look fabulous my Sister…
Excellent interview. Holder is funny!
❤ Symone!
She is a terrific interviewer!
Sir, many thx. 🎉 For yoy, Obama, Biden ❤, Harris, Walz. For many yrs & Varied public services! You are a true American hero
Great interview ...
Holder saying "Don't look!" is a bad look!
Although I'm not worried about Gov Tim Walz. He's great!
Please replace AG Garland. Get someone with teeth.
He has a pretty sharp sense of humor. Not nearly as stiff as when in office.
How many weird voting regulations you have in America . Here all who are citizens the same rights. You need to get rid of the slavery laws before you can call your country a real democracy. Get rid of the Electoral college and the Filibuster too.
I’m telling you! Very backward slave owner mentality thinking!
I lived in Florida at the time of the amendment to restore voting rights. What they did, after it passed, was to twist what "completing the sentence" means.
As far as I'm concerned, things like not restoring voting rights amounts to a partial life sentence.
100% But guess what? Such repressive laws are created to target minorities. It’s just incidental that some yts get caught up in it.
We need Detrumpification now!
What a JOKE...You are with these people....They DESTROYED your Country.🤣🤣🤣
Ahhh, you idiots still suffer from TDS, how cute and impressively insane.
In Canada even if someone is incarcerated, they still have the right to vote. Because they are citizens.
Awesome Video and Great Intervew
Eric Holder said, I'm Good. LOL
Symone is so beautiful!
There's no way you believe that.
Yes, she is. She has grown on me over the years. She is very knowledgeable on lots of topics. Very pretty.
I figured I wasn’t the only one 🫡
@@thomasdr08 I agree. Love Smart , educated, intelligent and curvy/thick with her effective style.
Voting Blue 💙 for Harris Walz and democracy 💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Up here in the great State of Maine all of our incarcerated citizens have full voting rights. This does no harm unless you unless you think trying to include those of us who have so far have already failed to actually participate for whatever reasons in those civil and social obligations that help all of us strive to participate for a better future will in the end pay off as a collective whole.
Does further exclusion from our social norms only give them extra motivation to work on being a more useful members of what you are already excluding them from? If punishment is the goal and rehabilitation is not a desired outcome at what cost to our common welfare are you willing to pay for this punishment?
In jail one cant vote. When done the time one should be able to.
Symone rocks
Central Government law should stop Gerrymandering and end political appointments in the judiciary and law enforcement.
A most interesting & informative interview, very helpful, beautifully presented. Loving MSNBC Election coverage. I find it educational & watch as often as possible from here in the UK.🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲🥰
Miss you Eric.
TLDW: The interview with former Attorney General Eric Holder primarily focuses on his role in vetting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. Holder explains that the vetting process was notably intense and fast-paced, taking only 15 days to complete. He assembled a team of 70 lawyers from his firm, Covington and Burling, to review potential candidates. Holder highlights that Governor Walz was chosen due to his strong record as Minnesota’s governor, his military career, and his chemistry with Harris. Despite the time constraints, Holder expresses confidence in the thoroughness of the vetting process and in Walz’s potential as a vice president.
Holder also touches on his experiences with similar vetting processes, such as the one that led to Joe Biden becoming Barack Obama’s running mate. He reflects on the political challenges and criticisms surrounding Governor Walz, particularly regarding his support for voting rights for former felons, which Holder defends as a progressive and historically significant stance.
Beyond the vetting process, Holder discusses his continued commitment to voting rights and redistricting through his work with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. He addresses concerns about gerrymandering, the role of the Supreme Court in current political issues, and potential reforms, including expanding the court and imposing term limits on justices. Holder downplays rumors about him potentially becoming White House Chief of Staff, emphasizing his contentment with his career thus far.
Donald Trump has had years to develop policy and he keeps talking about Hannibal Lector etc. For a man born into tremendous wealth 😅 he does an awful lot of complaining when he needs to be giving his policies to the public.
Like Kamala? Are you kidding?
Trump isn't capable of holding as important an office of president.
He has no policies; just the 2025 Blueprint on how to dictate...
He has felonies, can he vote?
Word Salad.🥗
great extended interview
Term limits should be limited but 18 years is still to long. Six years is more than enough for a decision that is unfair to masses of people. Why is 18 years being considered? takes to long for it go drop down to 9 something?
Wow Simone, you brought up voting issues in a very informative way with AG EH. I had now idea what was going on in all these states.
She neglected to bring up how the DNC is fighting to keep RFK Jr off state ballots in spite of him having enough signatures. I guess it's OK to disenfranchise independents.
@@jveebklyn1644If this is true, I'm not OK with that. However, RFK is not a serious candidate and I'm not interested in another of those. We've got enough issues without adding more.

MSNBC, cool content dude
The beauty of real democracy is that everyone who ever they are wherever they are have right to vote because they are still citizens of that country and they are also human beings that make mistakes some great mistakes some not so big but they are still citizens and if you take them that right to vote then they are less than slave's and that is not democracy. Greetings from Switzerland and Croatia. 🥰🙏🥰✌️❤️🇭🇷❤️🇨🇭❤️🇺🇲❤️
Everyone already on that seat for 18 years should be automatically leaving.
Even Ketanji Brown Jackson? 😏
On the surface it sounds good until there's a really good Justice such as her.
@@Edu_Kate She is new and she is awesome. Has earned her role and is profesional!
Not sure the two that came in before her were not political placements. And with due respect it is time the Alito, Clarence, Roberts who showed their true colors and are in for a long time already should exit.
We are from the outside looking in. Not a US citizen but the entire world is watching this miss-use of power going on. I wish better times for the countries’ Justice system showing respect to the oat and do what is correct🤗💝🌻🥰

Guess Timmy Tampon obsession with fire and tampon wasn't a red flag? How about the stolen valor? Guess not, lying and cowardice is in the Democrat DNA.

I am suspicious of term limits. I think it would go a VERY long way just to write and enforce strict ethics guidelines. Decent salary, benefits, retirement plan, should they retire. ZERO participation in investing. ZERO income from sources besides their job. If they can't be happy on the salary and generous pension, I don't want them on the court.
Me too. Suspicious of them.
I like the elegance of the arcane: lifetime appointments and even the electoral college and I can see both are being pillaged for the immorality of unearned repute.
There is a certain elegance to lifetime appointments and service, but ensuring political power to already wealthy people without the ability to remove them outside of impeachment is the way you get a court that is not representative of the people's will.
You are not going to incentivize rich people with a salary. They are only incentivized by influence; term limits are a way to balance that tendency.
@@BroadwayDuchess13 thanks. 🫂 🇺🇸
Thx, also for info on where I need to focus my volunteer efforts in FL, (as well as NC, TN, TX, & lifetime home state: GA.)
I heard there was a proposal to have 13 Justices to reflect the Federal Districts. This would allow for more time and consideration by the Judges.
I disagree with Eric Holder on the expansion of the SCOTUS. It may work in a Democratic presidency, House and Senate but what happens when there is a vacancy during a Republican administration. We could find ourselves in the same predicament as we do now. I think term limits are a more reasonable option and that every Justice of SCOTUS go through a process every 2-3 years that would be tantamount to a re-vetting with medical and psychological testing included.
Go head Simone 🙌🏿
Did he say 70 or 7 lawyers vetting the VP shortlist? Heck, I watched a lot of UA-cam videos on each.. I guess I vetted Walz too and I was rooting for him before she made the announcement.
Has he not heard about not certifying votes now? I have great fear about the 2024 election.
Reminder: Idiocy is on the ballot this November.
Vote Harris/Walz 💙

As the election draws near, I’m considering how potential policy changes could influence market growth. Election outcomes often impact sector performance, create market instability, and call for adjustments to your investment strategy due to shifts in legislation.
