Transcripts For MSNBC All In With Chris Hayes 20240829

A story. The pentagon says the Trump Campaign was warned. Its not disney world, it is arlington national cemetery and it should be respected. Tonight the controversy over the altercation at arlington cemetery. On the practical reality of political shockwaves from Donald Trumps latest indictment. Is the former president going to show up in court to file a plea with these new charges . Plus, as the Harriswalz Campaign looks for votes in the rural south, a republican nominee taps and antivax Conspiracy Theorist for his Transition Team and thats only half of it. And also cut the head off of a dead Beach Ball with a chainsaw and tied it to the roof of his car to take home. Good evening from New York, i am chris hayes. Were 69 days out from the president ial election and if there is one thing we know about Donald Trump No Matter where we are in the campaign, No Matter where the polls are up or down is that he is going to be exactly who he is, all the time every day No Matter what. Nothing ever seems to stick to him, at least not enough. He was just indicted all over again by another federal grand jury. He is celebrating an endorsement from a Suspected Whale Decapitate her. More on that later if that is confusing you. The scandal that has trump and his people scrambling for Cover Today has to do with the bizarre Photo Drop on monday in which he grinned and gave the Camera A thumbsup over the grave of a marine killed in afghanistan. The appearance was offputting enough, but Yesterday Npr reported Trump Campaign staff at arlington have actually gotten into an Altercation Withn a worker at the cemetery over r the helming among the graves of The Fallen. The Trump Campaign top spokesman downplayed the incident in a statement to Nbc News with a sort of typically meanspirited spin, saying for whatever reason an unnamed individual clearly suffered from a mental Health Episode and decided to block members of Trumps Team during a solemn p ceremony. Of course the worker had every reason, right . Arlington national cemetery suggested as much telling a reporter that followed the incident and adding in a statement, federal law prohibits Campaign Or Election related activities in national cemeteries to include photographers, content creators or any other persons in direct support of a partisan political candidates campaign. Arlington national cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants. Trumps Cocampaign Manager told Nbc News that trump went to the cemetery to honor goldstar families. Not film a political campaign, he would never do that. J. D. Vance tried to play it off as a media created furor. You are acting like Donald Trump film the Tv Commercial at a gravesite. He was there providing emotional support to a lot of Brave Americans who lost Loved Ones they never should of lost and there happened to be a camera there. Oh, there happened to be a camera there. How stupid do you think we are . He was called to provide emotional support, a thing he does all the time away from the cameras. Looking back, i camera. Ra this is the Video Trump posted to Social Media that day. Oc we lost 13 great, great people. What a horrible thing it was. We didnt lose one person in 18 months and then they took over. The disaster. That is a Campaign Ad Film that arlington, obviously. Also, dozens of u. S. Service members died in action under Donald Trump. No ceremony for them. No ads. That is trump going to a Military Cemetery to film a video reminding viewers of u. S. Deaths during the Withdrawal Th from afghanistan, without mentioning that trump tied to joe bidens hands by agreeing to a Withdrawal Timeline Set by the taliban. The cameraman happened to be there, as j. D. Vance said. The thing is, Trump Wasnt even the only politician capitalizing off the visit. He was accompanied by republican governor spencer cox, a guy who said he would never vote for trump until he endorsed him and used photos of the event is solicited the event to solicit donations. He now says it was a mistake, a thing he will say about voting for trump in a few months probably. Trumps team of course, not admitting any mistakes. Instead weve got j. D. Vance, the member of the republican ticket with military experience, responding on the campaign trail. Can you tell us more about the altercation that happened at the arlington cemetery. It is amazing to me that you have apparently somebody at arlington cemetery, some Staff Member had a little disagreement with somebody and the media has turned this into a national news story. The families of these poor people who had their Loved Ones die three years ago, at abby gate, those 13 americans, a lot of them were there with the president. They invited him to be there and to support them. That is not an insult to the memories of their Loved Ones. They wanted Donald Trump there and thank god we have a president who stands with their veterans instead of one who runs away from them. This is important. It is true trump was invited by some of those Family Members who trump has been talking to, but this is a really important point. He was not invited by all the families of the 400,000 veterans and dependents who are buried at arlington who did not and cannot consent to be used as props and a backdrop by other bereaved families for this individual. That is why the prohibition exists. It is a complete prohibition. It does not matter. Beyond vance disparaging someone who works at arlington national cemetery for enforcing the rules, is Donald Trump really a president who stands with veterans instead of runs away from them . Donald, i dont like losers, i like people who arent captured. He spent time attacking the parents of an Army Officer who died in iraq in 2004. Donald trump who has president fumbled the name of a fallen soldier in a condolence call with his widow and then is bickered with her. Donald trump who according to his own Chief Of Staff refused to pay respects at a Veterans Cemetery in europe, saying why should i go to that cemetery, it is filled with losers . And who on that same trip called the more than 1800 t marines who died suckers for getting killed. Or was it the Donald Trump who Hated Being Filmed or photographed with wounded veterans . A general chose a combat wounded soldier to sing God Bless America at the ceremony. Millie said afterward the president told him, why do you bring people like that here . No one wants to see that, the wounded. If you think all that is in the past it was just two weeks ago when Donald Trump used War Weary American Servicemembers as a punchline about how rough they all look to talk up one of his biggest political donors. I have to say, i watched sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave miriam the president ial medal of freedom. That is the highest award you can get as a civilian. It is the equivalent of the congressional medal of honor, but a civilian version. It is actually much better because everyone gets the congressional medal of honor. Soldiers, they are either in ie very bad shape because theyve been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. She gets it and she is a healthy, beautiful woman. See, they dont have those ugly scars or wounds or bullet marks. Shes beautiful, right . Isnt that awesome. Isnt that the highest one could hope for . You could be forgiven for looking at this and thinking trump only has respect for the most revered american institutions. When they are working for him. John allen is a senior national Politics Reporter for Nbc News and joins me now. Youve been reporting on the fallout from this. What have you got . Reporter we see the Trump Campaign playing this Down And Weve heard a little bit from the harris campaign. The spokesman went on cnn earlier today and said that this is set on trumps part, but there is a risk for trump. Given the things pointed out. There is a risk for trump that he takes the advantage he has had on the afghanistan withdrawal, something a lot of folks looked at as a failure or a botched mission under the Biden Watchword Bidenharris Administration Watch and really undermine that with a story about trying to capitalize on it with a Photo Op at arlington national cemetery. It is not like these are clips that six months later got thrown into a Campaign Video. They were thrown in a Campaign Video within hours. Gn im sorry. Anyone asking us to pretend otherwise is asking us to pretend we are stupid. We obviously all understand what is going on. They sent a videographer to shoot the footage to make the video. The notion that this is anything other than what it looks like, when we can look at the images and the notion that there is this random arlington national Cemetery Employee who is now called deranged and has a target on their back. I worry about that person, frankly, who apparently was doing their job. The thumbs up, smiling photo and i think you mentioned this in your intro. There are gravestones and headstones of other deceased persons in the military who did not agree to be part of the filming and the photography and this is one of the reasons that there is this federal ban on doing this and just to be clear, the ban is on partisan political activity. Donald trump could show up and have photographs taken and not do partisan activity, but to your point you have to not believe your lying eyes to not believe that is exactly what went on here. Jon allen, thank you very much. Ben rhodes served as deputy national Security Adviser to president obama. They join me now. I know this is an annoying Thought Experiment and it even annoys me when i do it, but i will say if a democratic president ial candidate did this, it would just be one of those new cycles where the E Right would go anchors. They would go nuts. You would never hear The End of it. Youve worked on democratic campaigns. Rememberti that thing when bara obama was not putting his hand in thE Right place during the starspangled banner . This would be a constant news item. It is about the 10 Year Anniversary of the tan suit controversy, so it is a perfect moment. Combined we have probably issued hundreds of statements in our name on behalf of Barack Obama. This statement that suggests the unnamed individual is clearly suffering from a mental Health Episode, that was in response to a reported physical altercation at arlington national cemetery. It is not exactly a place where democratic activists are campaigning in the streets. It is a hallowed, not hollowed as their statement says, hallowed place where veterans who lost their lives that would be a fireable offense. So yes, this is not normal republican, democratic, any campaign at all that i have worked on were heard of. There is actually a deep and important point about this civic creed we all share, which is that there is a reason why there is no partisan activity allow their End Or Reason that it eadoesnt matter. Obviously it is better that the Family Members of some of the deceased Family Members invited trump, so he was there with them and he could have done whatever he wanted to, just without the cameras, obviously. But there is a reason which is that it is a shared space for everyone outside of and above partisan politics and it is just disgusting to draft The Fallen into your political campaign. There is a headstone of someone who just happened to be by him in the grave site. And you know, chris, when we were in the White House, Barack Obama went to arlington, but also specifically to section 60. That is where trump was giving the thumbs up like he was meeting with a Constituency Group sitting in the Oval Office with a smile on his face. Section 60 is where veterans of the post9 11 wars are laid to rest. Therefore it is a particularly potent place. Because of the nature of the wars. The freshness of the loss for families and often times Barack Obama would do events that had a lot of press. Not in a campaign capacity, but as president , speaking on Memorial Day or speaking on Veterans Day in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier. Often times would more quietly walk the grounds of section 60, because it was the furthest thing from politics. You did not want to go there at all when you were paying respects to young people who just recently laid down their lives and the absurd thing about this when this happened, Donald Trump had a staffer who got into a physical altercation with someone at Arlington Li national cemetery while filming a Campaign Ad and it is not even the most outrageous thing he has done involving a Military Cemetery. Obviously we have been here before. Do we really want to go through all of this again . Do we really want to deal with him insulting veterans and insulting and breaking down these norms and politicizing the spaces . This is what people are tired of and that is why this is bigger than this issue. This is about whether we want to go back to this kind of stuff again. I have to say that i think the two of you would say the same. What happened at Abby Gait was horrifying. Everything around those anguished weeks. You know, for Family Members that suffered trauma, no one Big Red just them feeling how they want to feel about politics or who they are angry at. I have no issue with that and whoever they want to invite. The point is above that because it is about this basic thing of what we together do as a society and what is sort of off limits for this kind of activity. I think, too, there is this return to form. Not that he ever left, but here is the trump repost just today and again i think that because it is on this weird social Media Site no one reads, it helps them. Because it is the perfect thing where he can blow off steam and no one sees it. Basically calling how to actually fix the system which calls everyone from fauci to biden to bill gates, randomly, in orange jumpsuits. That you should repost if you want public Military Tribunals with a picture of Barack Obama. Prosecute Jack Smith and indict the January 6 committee for sedition. That is pretty straightforward fascist propaganda coming from one of the two major candidates. No question and i think to bens larger point, sometimes we forget in the age of trump that we have all lived in for over a decade now, that there are some things that democrats and republicans have long agreed upon. Right . Defending the rule of law. Defending our nations veterans and the men and women who serve and treating them with honor. On making sure we talk about values and Human Rights values overseas and talking about making sure we are defending entries from invading other countries and their sovereign territory. Even much smaller, defending our democracy. That trump has thrown into complete turmoil and it may not be front and center at everybodys kitchen table, as they say, but they are such important components of what a difference would be if trump were elected to a second term, because it throws all of that, everything our country was based on, founded on, has been built on through many different Political Parties and leaders over hundreds of years.

Special counsel Jack Smith filed a Superseding Indictment containing the same charges in the first indictment filed over one year ago. Conspiracy to defraud the united states. Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official Proceeding And Conspiracy against rights. The new indictment removes some of the conduct. In light of the supreme Court Ruling in july that granted not just new immunity, but protections from evidence for anything at that could be viewed as an official act. Harry litman served as Deputy Assistant Attorney general at the Department Of Justice and joins me now. That roberts opinion, one of these things that got worse the more you read it and the more it sank in. Partly because in a very clever way it made a whole lot of mass of the charges. What do you think about this indictment and how it addresses that . That is exactly right. Some of it is clear but seems objectionable. This point, how does he address 80 of what he does is double down. Hes doing the same case, but he has tweaked the language. We have a new Star Character where paragraph one said he was the President Of The United States and now says he was a candidate for president and they reframe everything to make it seem like something of a private person, a candidate. Then there is a chunk left that he wanted to keep. The biggest part of that is involving Mike Pence and there is where we run into the mightiest part of What Roberts said. We know from the supreme Court Opinion that it is an official action. He hopes the Rest Wont be, but that is. Roberts says you can nevertheless use it if you can rebut the presumption that it impairs the function of the executive branch. What does that mean . What is the burden of proof . We really dont know, but smith decided to take that fight on and really suggests he is willing to do it in the long run. Because unless Tanya Chutkan rules against them i think it is going up to the Supreme Court to keep this Mike Pence stuff as being official, but still okay. Okay, there was the point in the oral arguments with amy coney barrett. Certainly from a Trump Appointed justice where she says was this official conduct . Conspiring to get fake electors, is that official . No, that is not official. So there is a bunch of stuff that should not be official conduct, but the whole question becomes how it gets litigated. So walk me through. Judge chutkan will rule. What happens next . It is paragraph by paragraph and by allegation. There were five schemes before. One involved the Department Of Justice and roberts said that is out, but for still remain. That is how it will be presented to a jury. Chutkan will want to know. Paragraph 33 says meadows is sometimes private, sometimes official. What is this conversation . Mike pence in this paragraph, going at him, is that something that is official or is it no good . In other words because of What Roberts said, that Conduct Cant come in as evidence. She will have to go through It Paragraph by paragraph and this is a pretty aggressive doubling down. I think it shows he is ready to take on a fight that could really elongate the timeline of the case. Ive got to say, well, i dont know what will happen in the future. I think if things go the way i hope they do in the Long View of history this decision, this Immunity Decision will end up in that kind of anticanon. Really like ahistorical Mass And Mistake and i think you can see it on the page. Harry litman, thanks very much. Thanks, chris.

Powerful Cold And Flu relief with a dreamy Honey Taste Nyquil honey, Robert Robert Kennedy jr. Is officially on team trump. The former independent candidate for president was widely understood to be a republican spoiler, hoping to lure votes away from democrats in november. He all but confirmed that when he endorsed trump on friday. Trump has gone one step further and appointed Rfk Jr. To his potential Transition Team. The former president has associated himself with a number of cranks over the years. Kennedy is his own special kind of problematic. If trump is going to tie himself to a guy like that, he and his campaign deserve to inherit all the baggage that comes with him. Really early by 7 00 and a van in front of me hit a bear and killed it. A young bear. So i pulled over and i picked up the bear, because i was going to skin the bear and it was in very good condition. And put the meat in my refrigerator. I was at the airport and the bear was in my car and i did not want to leave it in my car. I said lets go leave the bear in central Park Kennedy shared that video himself. By the way, note the roseanne watching the story face, which is amazing, but he wanted the world to see him telling Roseanne Barr about how he was going to stage a Bear Hitand Run in central park. This week a Decadeold Profile of Rfks Daughter resurfaced where she recounts an incident from her childhood. Rfk got word there was a dead whale washed up On The Beach so naturally he raced over to take a Souvenir And Kennedy cut the dead whales head off with a chainsaw and then he took that attached wellhead and put it on the roof of the Family Minivan and drove hours back to New York with his family in the car. As his daughter remembers it, every time he accelerated on the highway, Whale Juice would pour into the windows of the car. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouthfuls cut out. People on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was normal, Daytoday Stuff for us. Well, that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to kennedy and dead animals. There is also a really strange picture with a Barbecue Animal Cricket carcass. He sent the picture to a friend implying it was a dog, which is weird. I think it is fair to say that is a weird picture. Then there was the admission from kennedy that he had a literal Brain Worm. He said that an abnormality on his Brain Scan was caused by a worm that got in my brain and ate a portion of it and died and given what it seems like he has been eating, im not that surprised. But our more seriously, Robert Kennedy has promoted consistently false, dangerous and deranged conspiracy theories. He is probably one of the most prominent antivaccine activists in the world and it was he and his ilk, but really him who helped spread deadly lies about vaccination that ultimately cost the lives and this is not hyperbole, Literally Hundreds Of Thousands of our fellow americans. Hundreds of thousands of people died who did not need to because they had been told lies about vaccines. Robert f. Kennedy jr. Is still on the ballot in some states, so he is with trump, but to if you live in a Blue State you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President harris. Red states, the same will apply. I encourage you to vote for me and if enough of you do vote for me and neither of the major Party Candidates win 270 votes, which is quite possible, in fact our polling shows them tying it 269, and i could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contingent election. Would he be the president or the Brain Worm . Interesting question. That was at his Press Conference to endorsed trump. I endorsed trump. Vote for me still. This is added to the already very weird campaign of Donald Trump and maybe it is a strategy to make j. D. Vance seem almost normal by comparison.

Vance was in Pennsylvania Today in his latest attempt to win over swing voters, but his attempt was overshadowed by newly uncovered audio from 2021 of vance speaking at an event for the center of her christian virtue. It confirms two things. The ohio senator is genuinely obsessed with people who dont have children and he is not beating the weird allegations. People without kids try to brainwash the minds of our children. And that really disorient me and it really disturbs me. If she wants to brainwash the minds of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours alone. David is a former republican congressman from florida. They join me now. David, i know that j. D. Vance is a catholic convert, which means he came to the faith late in life. As someone raised in the church and whose father went to catholic schools, i do think he should take up this idea with the nuns about whether you have to have children in order to be able to educate children and how the Catholic Church would think about that at the center for christian virtue. Yeah. Chris, j. D. Vance is one of the most on the Vice President Ial Pics we have seen. You make comparison sometimes to Sarah Palin as being wholly unqualified. J. D. Vance is wholly unqualified, but also he is so far out of the mainstream that not only is he unqualified to be President Of The United States, to lead the nation in Foreign Policy and domestic policy. His view of the world is so isolated and represents such a minority, he belongs leading a Think Tank on christian Western Civilization or something. That is what we are learning. And the electoral impact, he continues to push people away. As Elizabeth Warren said this week, women are stupid. They are listening to this and looking at statements on reproductive freedom and women are exactly the voters that trumpvance needs. They are not getting them in this race. Have to say this is not one of these cases where we are sort of picking out little things. He has said this time and time again in multiple venues in different places. Hes talked about having more voting power. Talking about the tax codes. People without children are lesser citizens. A fundamental belief of his i think and it is despicable for a lot of reasons. Not only mind your own business, but also i think about all the people In My Life who have struggled with infertility and how brutal and heartbreaking that is. And for vance to be like no, you are less of a citizen, which is really what i think he thinks. Not just less of a citizen, he is basically saying you are less of a human. The next step is he will say people who have kids dont deserve to be living in the united states. Look, he is clearly not content with being the lowest rated Vice President ial choice in the modern american political history. He is obviously going for the Detroit Lions 017 season. He wants to set the standard forever. I think about Tim Walz. Why . Because ive worked on campaigns. If you are in the Tim Walz campaign, in that entourage, you are celebrating. Every day is christmas because every time one of these stories comes out you have so much fodder for you at this debate that will be Coming Up between him and j. D. Vance and it further underscores that this openly misogynistic, antihuman approach that this ticket has. It is really fodder for the other side and i have to believe that walz is licking his chops as these stories come day after day. How much difference do you think it matters . There is some evidence, 2008 is probably the most we have data on this, where Sarah Palin clearly provided a kind of ballast and also really hurt the mccain ticket. When all of the evidence was aggregated that was in that problem. They would not have one either way. Do you think this could be the type of Ticket Mate that matters . I think it matters not necessarily because of how it impacts the raw numbers. What i am about to say the pollsters will say hold up, but here is the theory im currently working on that i find intriguing. I think this is a weird race where Donald Trump and j. D. Vance are becoming oddly irrelevant in 2024. Because there is nothing new that they offer. Donald trump is branded as an incumbent, but it is an incumbent with criminality and weirdness and antidemographic antidemocratic themes. People are exhausted. Now you have j. D. Vance who contributes more to this oddity of the Trump Campaign and you have Vice President harris and governor walz, taking all of the momentum. Not only the political momentum, they are talking about policies that Donald Trump and j. D. Vance Cant Talk about. It is odd. Donald trump will be at 45 to 48 of the vote, we know that. But he is oddly irrelevant to the conversation of this election even as republican nominee. Go ahead, please. Just to your point, here is what i actually think he is doing to the ticket. It is almost the inverse of the Clintongore Ticket of 1992. Remember the Pins Choice by trump in 2016, that was a brilliant thing. It softens trump around the edges. We talk about double haters. The Trumpvance Ticket basically doubles down on the idea that these are two despicable people and that is on the margins. You dont have that Pins Dignity and decorum and performative niceness. With j. D. Vance you get none of that. A final note because she has been slandered, i believe Randi Weingarten is a proud stepmom to some kids. She kind of caught astray there and i want to clarify for the record. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Coming up with 69 days to the election a rising Store Star joins us next.

Hear me now, Paycom Return the world of Hr And Payroll to its rightful place of chaos or face a tsunami of unnecessary the likes of which you have never seen well see became well see became a Career Prosecutor while he became a career criminal. With 34 felonies, two impeachments and one Porn Star to prove it. Kamala harris has a resume. Donald trump has a rap sheet. She presides over she presides over the senate while he keeps our national secrets next to his thinking chair. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joining us. Strong contrast between the two people currently running for president because he addressed the Democratic National Convention last week the Freshman House Member has been a prominent voice on National Democrats not only for the president Ial Ticket but also the Oversight And Accountability committee where she has confronted republicans over there bullying tactics in the exPresident S retention of classified documents. Joining me now is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, democrat of texas, who as of today is the new National Cochair of the Harris Wahl camping. Congratulations on that, congresswoman. Its good to see you. I want to first start just to get your response to the sound we played of j. D. Vance in the previous segment where he basically says, hes going after Randy Weingarten and he basically says, if you dont have your own children, stay the away from ours, you shouldnt be a teacher or employed in education if you dont have children. This is really whole body of stuff where he seems to have it out for folks who dont have kids on just curious your reaction. The guy is a weirdo. Its really quite simple, and i thought that it was a really good point that was raised about those sisters that teach kids like me, because i actually went to catholic middle school, so i absolutely know what thats like. So i am curious to know what he thinks. But we also know that they have been pushing the project 2025 agenda and a lot of that Agenda Kind of has their own definition of what christianity looks like and what christian families look like and what we all should be doing, and i dont think that thats inclusive of catholicism and the muslim folk as well as atheist folk, everybody else, even though we supposedly have this thing called Freedom Of Religion in this country. So the Harris Wahls campaign of which you are now a national campaign cochair, they are in georgia. Georgia looked in rough shape. Weve got some new Swing State pulling out today. Again, no One Poll is determinative but it shows narrowing gaps and infect a lead in some of these Swing States. Harris up in arizona by two points in georgia, down one in north carolina, up in the vatican, all with the margin of error. They are doing a swing through whats called the Black Belt in georgia, in areas that are both rural and predominantly african american. Im just curious your thoughts about that, which i havent seen a candidate do in a wild, ive got to say. Im very excited about it and that is exactly what we are going to get out of this team. We going to get them doing the things that are out of The Box because they understand what the stakes look like. But heres the reality. We are just not having the conversations with Rural America that sheet we should be having because we do have an agenda that is actually about bettering their lives. When we look at the Broadband Access thats been brought to Rural America, that was brought by democrats in the house and the senate and the democratic administration. That means better access to healthcare. That means better access to jobs. That means better access to education. A lot of times someone who lived in east texas, i know that we are limited to whichever plant is set up in that community and if that plant closes than that potentially decimates all of your economic opportunities. The general feeling of the racE Right now is a kind of consolidation of the democratic base, a campaign thats been obviously transformed by the departure of the president and the Vice President accepting the nomination. What keeps you up at night . Where is your head as youre looking at the next 68, 69 days . I think the only regret will be that i didnt give it my all. Everyone that i talked to, i told him we got to run through the tape. We cant take anything for granted. We Cant Look at these polls and get excited. We Cant Look at how many people are showing up to the rallies and getting excited because ultimately the only poll that matters is the poll on Election Day so i dont want people to get comfortable. I dont want them to feel as if we have this in the bag because its far from over and we know the forces that are working against us are strong and in full force. We know in states like texas they are trying to kick people off the rolls. In fact they are kicking people off the rolls. They are now going in and they are perpetrating raids on elderly women that are simply just trying to do their part for democracy. We are facing some really ugly and negative forces that are doing everything that they can to hold onto power, so for me, i lay back and as Tim Walz says, goes to sleep, he says we can sleep when we did. I tell people on the walking dead right now because im not getting sleep but its just that important. We reported on the beginning of the show about the altercation that happened in arlington national cemetery, where the expresident brought a Campaign Videographer, turned his appearance there into a Campaign Spot that was uploaded on their Social Media feeds. A worker there apparently again, this is the best depth of reporting from npr and our own reporting, from what weve heard, tried to stop them. They plowed through that. They are kind of doubling down on it and they are saying the worker at arlington national cemetery was having a mental like a mental Health Issue and sort of attacking that person. Im curious your reaction. I mean its the same old games with these guys. They dont abide by norms. They dont abide by the law and honestly anyone that tries to enforce any rules upon them, they literally just steamroll them and they act as if they were all right. Its really unfortunate, especially when you have someone that is running to be the most powerful person in the world, to know that they literally just have no appreciation for basic norms. This is not the party of law and order. I think we know that may have been who the republicans used to be but maga definitely is not that. Youve been an officer of the court for. You are able your. You worked as a public defender. You talked about in your Convention Speech about the sort of prosecutor versus the felon, expresident indicted in a Superseding Indictment yesterday. Im curious what you think, when you hear from folks in your district because youre up for election to delete. How salient the President S and audi, but established in a court of law in New York and alleged in various indictments, is to voters. I can tell you for sure, my district is not voting for Donald Trump. We all know what texas may look like but my district is not going to vote for donald. He will handily lose my district, and for a number of reasons. Number one, i have so many people in my district that have been criminally justice impacted. I actually have some of the highest incarcerated Zip Codes in the entire state so i think its one of the reasons that i have been trusted with this particular position, because i understand the implications that come along with the tagline of being a felon, and it was definitely a delicate line that i had to walk to do this kind of Felon And Prosecutor thing, because i have consistently fought so much for the criminally justice impacted and i did not want it to be a situation in which it seemed that i was putting those folk down. What i was trying to do was draw out the hypocrisy that the republicans consistently bring to the table when literally you guys are supporting someone that supposedly doesnt stand with any of the values that you claim to espouse. That was a very thoughtful answer on that point, congresswoman. Im glad to ask you about that. Jasmine crockett, thank you very much. A
