Transcripts For MSNBCW Ayman 20240703

Thank you, my, friends enjoy the rest of your. Evening good evening to you, welcome to ayman. We have some Breaking News out of morocco this hour. Unfortunately, Tragically Thousands are dead after a deadly 6. 8 magnitude earthquake struck near the city of marrakech. We will have the update in just a moment on that tragedy. Plus, a major win for prosecutors in georgia as a judge rules against mark meadows. But that could be a huge setback for donald trump. And senator tubervilles blockade, his colleagues wont call him out, but those who actually served will. Im Ayman Mohyeldin, lets get started. We start overseas with the powerful earthquake which has killed more than 2000 people, injuring more than 2000 others in moroccos Southern Region. Search and rescue teams are still reaching some of the most affected areas, many of which are remote in mountains as we see that staggering death toll continue to rise. Sky news correspondent adam parsons is in marrakech. Then marrakech is having to come to terms with its burden of grief and also the chaos that has followed this natural disaster. And theres still real fear about what could happen. Heres a very good example of that nervousness, this restaurant behind me which badly damaged by the earthquake on friday night, but it only actually collapsed hours and hours later. Its that nervousness thats affecting so many people here. Its why you see Hundreds Sleeping Rough because they are fearful that buildings and their homes might yet collapse. Marrakech is a huge city, its a Tourist Capital of the medina here, its a famous cultural site. And weve seen the buildings there have fallen to the ground. This is a unesco protected city. So very hard to make those ancient buildings earthquake proof. But we ran up to the airport and we saw military planes that have been bringing people back from the worst affected areas. Its a group just up there, a helicopter that was about to take off and try to shuttle people but that is still the big question here. Those villages up in the mountains are very, very hard to get to at the best of times. Now of course, those roads have been damaged. We simply dont know how many more people have been injured or killed up there in the atlas mountains. Morocco has declared three days of National Mourning for this tragedy that has happened and is having to come to terms with it and cope with the ramifications. Our thanks to skies adam parsons for that. Of course, we will keep an eye on whats happening in morocco. We will bring you updates over the next several hours as we get them. We do want to switch gears now following several major developments in Fulton County, fani williss attention attempts by donald trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. Thats been up to speed with some of those. A major win for prosecutors on friday, a judge denied mark meadowss bid to move his case to Federal Court saying that he failed to prove his actions at the time of the alleged conspiracy. Were not part of his duties as a government official. U. S. District judge, steve see jones said, state prosecutors, quote, put forth evidence that had various points at the time of the alleged conspiracy, what else worked with the Trump Campaign which he admitted was outside of the rule of white house chief of staff. Meadows says he plans to appeal but the decision is also a major setback for the ex president himself. Who was hoping to jump on the Federal Court bandwagon. On friday, the judge overseeing the racketeering case, he may seek to have the prosecution to Federal Court. If the cases, moved trump would have the opportunity to argue that the charges should be dismissed because his actions fell under his duties as president. Were gonna learn more about that possible request in the coming weeks, trump has within 20 days of his Arraignment Waiver which he submitted on august 21st to file the motion. And another Fulton County news, former trump lawyer kevin chesbrough, one of 19 defendants who to dismiss the r. I. C. O. Charges against him. The motion follows a wednesday Court Reading that extra mppoa lawyer, sydney powells mission, for separate trials. Tasman and powell are said to go to trial to gather on october 23rd which is another major win for georgia prosecutors. But, at that hearing which we were able to watch unfold live on camera for the first time, the judge said he remained, quote, very skeptical, very single trial for all 19 defendants would even be feasible, especially considering that some defendants like chesebro and powell have invoked the right to a speedy trial while others have not. Capping off a week packed with pretrial developments, we finally got our hands on a long awaited report from the Georgia Special grand jury that essentially tasked with investigating the effort last. Here ill tell you what the major top line. Was recommendations for the indictment of more than three dozen people, including 21 who were not charged by d. A. Fani willis. Among the 21 individual, some names you may recognize. People like Michael Flynn who was of course Trumps National security adviser. Former Georgia Republican senators, david perdue and kelly loeffler. They were both in office at the time of the 2020 election. Most notably senator Lindsey Graham, the current senator, republican senator, south carolina. Here is his reaction to that report yesterday. What i did was consistent with my job as being United States senator, chairman of the judiciary committee. We were open up pandoras box and i think the system of this country is getting off the rails, we have to be careful not to use the legal system as a political tool. Again, senator graham and these other individuals were not charged by fani willis in the Racketeering Conspiracy Indictment handed down last month. But clearly the panel believe there was sufficient evidence to include them in the recommendation. Here to break down that whirlwind week of developments, David Henderson, a silva rights attorney. Hes also an msnbc contributor. Renitta shannon, a former Democratic State representative, and Jonathan Alter substack old g. O. A. T. With Jonathan Alter. Its good to have all three of you with us. David, with start with the significance of this meadows ruling. How much of a chance does he have on appeal and how do you think trumps legal team is handling the news considering that he was making a play for similar move . This is one of the situations where its like slim to none and some didnt come to town. I dont think has a good shot on peel. But this really means for the forthcoming Battle For Former President Trump and everyone involved in this case is when the key arguments they were hoping they could make in the state of georgia and thats a Mistake Of Law Versus mistook a fact. The example here is if you get involved in a situation where a guy bought a bag of oregano that turned out to be marijuana. Its not the best defense but you could say, hey, i thought it was oregano. Thats nonstick effect. Thats a defense in georgia. But you cant say is, hey, i knew it was wed but its legal in my states whether it was legal here. Even to the extent to say my lawyer said was the goal so i thought was legal here, its not a defense in georgia. Thats what theyre losing when they can transfer this case to Federal Court which if meadows couldnt do it, i dont think any of them can. Interesting. Representative shannon, if some defendants accident having their cases moved to Federal Court even if its a remote possibility, one quart difference will be the lack of cameras in the courtroom. How important is it for the American People to watch this trial unfold in this entirety . I think its extremely important, i think your coverage is extremely important as other media thats covering the indictment because when you look at the interviews thats coming from some people that have been indicted even those that have not been indicted, theyre saying things like, i was asking questions, cant people have questions about elections. Theyre saying that they were unfairly indicted and they are banking betting on the fact that they think the General Public will not read the indictment and will just take them at the work that they are being unfairly prosecuted. So having this case be televised here, which is what the decision was for georgia, who allowed the General Public to understand that these people are not being unfairly charged, they did a lot more than they were saying they did and they are trying to have a move to Federal Court so they dont have to face the scrutiny of the General Public who through a court case will surely learn why they were indicted. Jonathan, why does the wind for these prosecutors on Public Opinion . Just seeing the actual workings of the legal system played on realtime actually change peoples minds . While the polls show that peoples reaction to a possible conviction quite different from the reaction to an indictment. So the question here is not about what happens with trumps base, there on fifth avenue as well. But the independents hold the Balance Of Power in any president ial election. Theyre up for grabs. And the news this week we can switch argument that trump is making. Think about people like Lindsey Graham, Michael Flynn, who are not indicted. Fani willis decided that she was not going to indict a large number of people because there wasnt enough evidence to convince a jury. That means that she is very confident that for the people she didnt died including the former president , she does have enough evidence. This is not an indiscriminate prosecution. Its not a witch hunt. Shes being very methodical deciding which cases have enough evidence and who has a chance of being convicted. David, let me get your thoughts on the grand jury report and i think a lot of people are wondering, why do you believe willis declined to indict 21 individuals despite the fact that charges were recommended by Special Grand Jury . Why did she decide 19 and not these 21, and i guess ultimately, does that undermine the but these other 19 are charged . For it doesnt undermine what the other 19 are charged with, but it shows you that fani what shes accused of doing. Thats just charging everyone she possibly could with everything she possibly could. The reason why is you have to remember the prosecutors have to exercise discretion in terms of what charges they actually bring and one of the things we havent discussed a lot is the incredible lift thats involved with these cases. These cases occupy a significant amount of days willis time and they will for the next couple of years. But one of the things it took me a long time to get used to was how many cases we had were terrible things happened where we had to prosecute. If you stop and think that the teachers candle case took eight months to try and it hug and this case is gonna have. Theres no way this case is going to take at least a year, and every time its letters, it has more time its gonna occupy. She has to be smart about where she is going to bring charges. Interesting, representative shannon, as i mentioned there are several u. S. Senators listed in that report including two former senators from your state. That means some of their own constituents but these lawmakers should be indicted. What do you make of that . I think that people were really paying attention to the evidence and were paying attention to what these two were doing. And i think that makes the point that i was making before, most of these people are saying, hey, this is ridiculous Candidate Behavior where questions are asked after the election. I can tell you after having been a former candidate several times, youre allowed to call the secretary of States Office and say, hey, are how many outstanding ballots are there are they overseas . Ballots from the military, for example . Are they ballots that need to be cured and have the opportunity by voters to cure the ballots . Thats not what folks like Lindsey Graham did or kelly loeffler, or perdue. They were calling and asking things like, can you throw out counties that have higher discrepancies and signature match . Can you just throw out all the Absentee Ballots . Those arent typical questions that a candidate or anyone who was involved in a campaign would be asking. And i think that even the they individuals who are part of the grand jury just hearing that information with no experience of ever being a candidate, even they were able to see that this was not normal behavior. Its the reason why these folks were mentioned for potential indictment. Jonathan, if day fani willis did have her hands full this, week she now has to deal with jim jordan congressman jim jordan. She blasted him over his inquiry into her indictment of trump, accusing him of overstepping his congressional authority. In fact she wrote in a letter, your Job Description as a legislator does not include criminal law enforcement, nor does it include supervising up specific criminal troubles because you believe doing so will promote your partisan political objectives. She really brought it down on jim jordan. He is not what his desperate interference attempts. Has his congressmen met his match and d. A. Willis . And is he in fact over region and overstepping his role as a legislator . Hes clearly overstepping his role, and shes a formidable woman. Its great to see her prove it. And this is something a lot of people who have been targets of these maga shots have learned from. Politics is a combat sport. . Shes a politician, shes an elected official. Its perfectly fine for her to russian back. I dont think any of this is of any great consequence. However, i do feel like theres Something Else that happened very recently that came under the radar. Keep an eye on the small fry. Read small fry georgia officials. David schaffer, and kathleen the for. Why dont mention their names . They all petition to judge and they were just operating in the direction of the president of the United States when they made false statements and falsified papers, killing themselves electors when they were not. They were fake electors and they said the president told them to do it. If they testified to that effect, they are in big trouble for donald trump. David, as a former prosecutor yourself, obviously thats not a legitimate defense. Weve seen that go all the way back to the nuremberg trials, when use of the government just because youre asked to do or engage in criminal activity, you cant just say, hey, my boss told me to do. It. Thats not a good defense. We have to consider in the situation is what youre also acknowledging when you say that your boss told you to do with the elements that that to that testimony or part of the crime youve been charged with. Here so its easy to forget that rico is a law thats designed to catch people that the law system otherwise could not catch. And what were gonna see this case as it develops is that what weve forgotten continuing as a candidate to spread all the charges, pretty forget is, when his folks go to court, they lose and they lose huge. Thats what all the litigation has become about, they lose huge as it starts happening, as people start getting nervous about house gun affect them each of their 19, youre gonna start to see to splinter. Panel question to you about the politics in georgia, just how much of an impact is this going to have on the Republican Party, for some of us as outside observers, the state is in shambles in terms of the civil war that brian kemp or is bringing against donald trump in the back acolytes, but at the same time there are still people there that very much support donald trump. Thats having a huge effect on the Republican Party and republicans in georgia. Because if you live in georgia in the last decade, youve seen whats happened as far as the republicans moving into more of the party of trump. Recently we saw that brian kemp decided he was not Gonna Go To Jail For Donald Trump and overturn the election. And he actually survived reelection while casting trump aside and not doing trumps bidding. So right now we have happening with this case going on is that many are wanted brian kemp to do more. Like they want Senior Republicans to do more to help trump, but these folks have already proven that they can get reelected without being on the side of trump. So this is really having a huge. Affect the whole thing is really interesting. I would say for the national Republican Party because when you look at, a Trump Campaign not making America Great again. He didnt happen. He campaign and said that the country would be so sick of winning once he was president. That didnt happen. What he has succeeded at is running up legal bills for. Them and losing. As johnson said in new hampshire, hes losing. Thanks so much for being here, david, jonathan stick. Rumble talk to you later.

Special counsel jack smith its not just possible. Its happening. Found himself once again warning trump against President S Failed social media site. In a court filing tuesday, smith said trumps postings has the potential to take the jury pool in his election interference case. And judge Tanya Chutkan and openly mop the idea that she could be fair in his case. And in a later post, he attacks smith with insane aggression. Smith is also making it clear that his election interference investigation is far from over. According to new reporting from cnn, he is zeroing in on how money raised based on false claims of voter fraud was used to fund a tends to tamper with Voting Equipment and states that joe biden had won. And David Henderson and Jonathan Alter are back with me. Lets talk about the latest concerns about the jury pool as a former prosecutor. To what extent do you share jack smith sphere, and if this keeps happening, at what point does Judge Chuck Kid tried to do something about it, and what can she do . Keep in mind, the tools that lawyers used dont always reflect what theyre thinking when they use them. So what jack smith is really focused on here is the fact that former President Trump is violating the conditions of his bail. Bail is a contract between the defendant and the judge to behave yourself until your trial and testing to show up and we have a trial. Typically, you have one testify ladies conditions before youre incarcerated pending her trial. So projects that doing is documenting the fact that former President Donald Trump is in violation. Regarding the jury pool, i dont imagine who hasnt already heard about, this was gonna her about it through these means, i dont think thats big of a concern. But what will happen here is judge chutkan bowl hold him to the trial date and it will be, since youre seeing all those things actually not to, say lets give you your trial before you tank the potential jury pool. Jonathan, you have to look at this from the perspective of trumps voice because they must be in a lot of pain. In one way, he continues his inflammatory comments on social media that have long been his hallmark, and at the same time, they want him to be quiet so that he does not jeopardize his legal standing with what is happening in the court and compromise the defense of the trial, of the client . What trump wants is his lawyers to stage a political defense, like theyre Chicago Seven defendants in 1969. Where the defendant themselves as a political argument. The problem is, that doesnt serve him very well in court. But if his lawyers dont go along with his water down approach, hell fire them. So hes fought caught between two different strategies, and hes not gonna be able to execute either one of them effectively. So i think in terms of the ongoing investigation, basically, it looks like some of these coconspirators who as yet jackson at preserves the right to indictment in the future, they are on very thin ice. He is looking into whether they transfer money that they raise from the public into illegal efforts to tamper with Voting Equipment in georgia, pennsylvania, and michigan. Thats a very serious charge. So if youre one of those defendants, possibly a defendant in the georgia case, still not indicted in federal case, you might be thinking, maybe ill get a better flip where im looking at serious jail time. The president is not looking at jail time. In a normal case, yes, he would be jailed in court, but as a practical matter, he cant be. They cant house the Secret Service in jail and all the rest of it. So if hes convicted as punishment, is likely to be house arrest. Its conceivable that judge chutkan, if he continues to violate the law of his bail, could be subjected to house arrest. Thats still possible. , divots new cnn reporting reveals that smith is investigating trump with an emphasis on fundraising, and how its used to support breaches of the Voting Equipment that jonathan was talking about. And the resources that are saying prosecutors have focus their questions on the role of sydney powell, trumps ex lawyer. And the fact that she hired Forensics Firms to access Voting Equipment in four swing states. Where do you think this could go . I think what jack smith is doing is hes using the best tools that prosecutors have and that is pressure. I think this will go towards putting an incredible amount of pressure on sydney powell. Keep in mind, when im referring to their lack of success in court, thus far, sydney powell and rudy giuliani, they have both gotten in trouble because courts have basically told them, Bar Associations have said, youve told mistruths so many different times that youre in danger of us pulling your license away. It happened to giuliani, they try to do it to powell in texas. That puts a lot of pressure in and of itself. Now shes also facing prosecution in georgia, potential federal prosecution. What does it squeezes her enough to where the likelihood of her testifying in exchange for a deal, and neither are both systems becomes really high. And the higher that becomes, the higher the likelihood of former President Trump and everyone else being convicted becomes. And mind, you a lot of people are juggling this analysis, not just sydney powell. Thats a good point, and shes Feeling Trouble in georgia. Her hands are full on multiple fronts. Maybe a reason why she would want to cooperate with this investigation jonathan, lets talk about jack smiths investigation. The other one in florida the classified documents case, this is a significant development. You had this key witness, the Information Technology worker. Ucl taveras who has entered into Cooperation Agreement with prosecutors to provide testimony according to his former attorney given trumps obsession with loyalty and keeping people in line, how significant of a flip is this . Very. Trump is in deep legal trouble in this case as well. The differences, jack smiths prosecution is very likely to go to trial before the election and for the conspiracy but not until after the election in the maralago case for two reasons. One is they have a trumpster judge, judge cannon, in the maralago case. And she shows a lot of indications of wanting to do with trumps way. Although shes done a better lately. More important is that this case involves a lot of classified information. And theyre a lot of legitimate ways to slow down a case when you have to work your way through those classified documents. I dont think theres any real reason to expect that the maralago case will take place until after the election. But its very likely as well. David, who do you think might be under pressure to flip as well and some of these cases that we are looking at . Thats a long list. I want to go back. The 19 in georgia. Heres the reason, buy it from that representing these people, i would not. But if they called me and asked what should i be worried about, i would say this state pen. Thats what you should be worried about. I agree, former President Trump is highly unlikely to serve any real time behind bars and their number of Different Reasons for that. Not the least of which is there is not a warden in the country whos not gonna say, i dont want to because i cannot guarantee his safety. Could have a conversation about the reality that we cant prevent crimes from happening behind bars even though we represent them, we can make them stop in the world. But we cant keep them safe, and have other considerations that does not apply to anyone else. Anyone else facing prosecution in georgia, knowing fani willis, and what shes despite so far is highly incentivized to cut a deal and get clues from this now before you spend an overwhelming amount of money on lawyers who cannot save you from the state. I was gonna, say look at rudy giuliani, hes down to having fundraisers Advent Monster just to make his legal bills he can be pardoned either. So if theyre waiting for trump to get reelected and pardon him, theyre waiting in vain. Agreed, David Henderson, Jonathan Alter, thank you for being here tonight. Greatly appreciated.

Get nice things at nice prices at wayfair wayfair, youve got just what i need the senate is back in session this weekend, that of course means the return of gop senator Tony Tuberville and his monthslong military blockade. For six months, now the alabama republican has been singlehandedly holding up the approvals of more than 300 military promotions in protest of the pentagons abortion care policy. In a Washington Post oped this week, secretaries for the navy, airports, and army have all called on tuberville to put a stop to his blockade saying it is, quote, putting our National Security at risk. Navy secretary Carlos Del Toro went even further referring to adversaries who he says we are paying attention to u. S. Combat readiness. He told cnn, quote, i would never have imagined one of our own senators would actually be aiding communists and other autocratic regimes around the world. Tuberville who we should note has never served has dismissed these calls as woke propaganda. But what our Senate Republican colleagues doing to stop it and the answer is simple, nothing. As msnbc steve bannon put it this week, a healthy political environment, Tuberville Taking steps to undermine his own countrys military during a time of security and uncertainty would be a career ending fiasco. In 2023, the republicans expect to get away with his radical tactics without any consequences at all, and given the state of gop politics, the rightwing senator might very well be correct. Thankfully, though veterans are doing what Senate Republicans will not. Here is allison just, low seen confronting tuberville on the hill. Many of us are frustrated by your a whole long promotions especially the many of whom are still serving. Im just curious what theres a lot of conversation here in d. C. But what do you have to tell them about whether they raise they go for the law. Its fine. But you holding up peoples pay raises, promotions, and livelihoods. 250 out of 2 million. Thank you. All right, she joins me now. Thank you so much for when making time for. Us what made you decide to confront, and what did you think of his response . I think many of us thought that we would enter the Office Recess in washington d. C. With this being resolved and it was days just before Congress Went out of town and i represent over 425,000 members but over 300 million Service Members and veterans have served since the post 9 11 and they didnt have a voice in this. Pilgrims like yourself are great, that they have conversations around how politically bad this is. But people who are caught up in the crosshairs of. This weather is the families of those who were serving or the individuals who were just trying to lead our troops today. So personally i felt compelled to make sure that those individuals had a voice and you have to call it a confrontation, but i dont know how else to make sure that he was gonna be speaking to those folks without going straight up to him myself. That incredible oped from the entire secretaries outlines the different consequences of tubervilles actions as i highlighted. Theyre the even go beyond National Security implications. Talk to us about the effects this is having on military families and junior members to. I think you alluded to that in the question youre asking to privilege out their livelihoods and their promotions, and their pay raises. To achieve to just make it sound like its just 150 people out of 2 million. The uncertainty for our entire National Security also uncertainty for individual humans lives, its all we want are the people that are interested with our National Defense to be focused on that. We want to take care of Everything Else in their lives. We will make sure that they have a roof over their head, that their families are taken care of, that they have quality benefits and a good paycheck. And what weve done here is destabilized that entire system. Thats not good for interNational Security, thats not good for the individuals who were asking to volunteer, by the, way to step up and serve and defend our country. Unfortunately, there is a the Come Down Of The Ring court is not even sleeping in the home that weve provided for him because his promotion is held up because of once and it is political personal agenda. Thats shameful. Shameful indeed. Its even more shameful that the Republican Party is letting tuberville get away with it. I think Mitch Mcconnell bears part of the blame for not being able to keep his caucus in order. I want to ask you this though, nbcs salute kapoor, our correspondent on the hill, as tuberville if he felt any pressure from his gop leaders about this, and mcconnell tuberville said, no, i havent heard from anybody. Instead, as we were discussing, Senate Republicans, theyre basically deflecting and blaming Senate Majority leader Chuck Schuman for not bringing the votes on the promotions one by one. How do you make sense of this . First of all, its garbage. There are potentially going on the record publicly, but i know for a fact that hes hearing a lot behind the scenes not just from his republican colleagues but also from four flak officers. It takes a lot to help Admiral Mullen Go On The Record in two News Interviews like he did just a few weeks ago. But more more thankfully the coming up publicly to make sure that people know whats at stake here. There is no reason by one senator should be able to be holding up promotions in this way. By the way, we asked our members about this and our members overwhelmingly support but the dod and the dea has done postdobbs decision. So im not sure exactly what who hes speaking for except from self and i think thats a sad State Of Affairs considering where were at and our country. That, me before we, go play for you this sound of tuberville, lamenting that the u. S. Military has gone woke because they are writing poems on Aircraft Carriers. Watch. Right, now were so woke in the military we have people doing poems on Aircraft Carriers over the loudspeaker. It is absolutely insane, the direction that were headed in our military. You have to say, i dont know how brushed up he is on his history, but it seems that no one has told tuberville that our own National Anthem is actually based on the poem by francis pot key. Would he have considered that to woke you think . Im not sure what pan hes referring to. But i think in large part theres a lot of effort that is being taken place both in the pentagon and by some of our elected leaders to make sure that the military is a place that is welcoming we, and supportive of all americans.

High courts orders and trying if i dont succeed, well then i guess just try and try again. That certainly seems to be the motto for republicans in alabama who, for a second time, at their congressional maps struck down by the States High Court this week, in a scathing trojan and 17page order. A panel of judges wrote that republican law makers have failed to comply with the court s demand to create a second majority black district in the state, or even something, quote, close to it. The Mapping Question was quickly ran through the State Legislator back in july after republicans previous attempts were thrown up by the Supreme Court for violating the Voting Rights act. Instead of learning their lesson and complying with the high courts orders and trying to do the right thing, alabama republicans took a different approach. They ignored the ruling and, once, again approved a map that includes only one majority black district. The u. S. District court for Northern Alabama seem to be shocked by the state gops Button Disregard for its ruling. In, fact they wrote in part for not aware of any other case in which a State Legislator faced with a Federal Court order declared that its electoral plan a flea dilutes minority votes and came up with the plan that promotes responded with the plan that the state can seats does not provide that district. They ruled that responsibility for creating a new map will now be in the hands of a Special Master who is starting to work but is staring down a very tight deadline. State officials are warning a new congressional map will need to be in place by early october in order to prepare for the 2024 elections. That does not give them or that Special Master a lot of time. Following tuesdays decision, alabama Secretary Of State wasted no time and asking the Supreme Court of reviewing the case again. I know what youre thinking here, isnt doing the same thing over, and over, and over, and expecting different results the very definition of insanity . I mean, i guess not for alabama. It seems that is literally their strategy. As david first on points out in a new piece for the new york times, the state has a long history of defying the Federal Courts. Who can forget their fierce oppositions of the Supreme Courts landmark 1959 brown forces Board Of Education decision which outlawed state sanctioned segregation in American Public schools . Alabama, long with other states spent years resisting that mandate with governor George Wallace notoriously promising, quote, segregation segregation forever. That was back in the infamous 1963 speech. The state only cooperated when federal troops came into the picture. The tradition of defines clearly still lives on in the yellow and red state. As first on writes, quote, when it comes to accepting the mandates of racial justice, alabamas leaders will hold out as long as they can, and only grudgingly acknowledge reality when its imposed on them. So as we tee up for a possible round three, lets be clear about one thing here. Alabamas leaders knew what they were doing every step of this process. The courts rebuke was exactly the kind of thing that states Republican Party has long invited, cultivated, even celebrated. Its a way to show that no one in power, no judge, court, or extension of the federal government can push them around. It is a self serving to finds that only hurts the citizens of alabama and no one more than the black ones. As chris england, a black State Representative from tuscaloosa said back in july, quote, the Federal Court does what it always does to alabama. Forces us to the right thing. Courts always have to come in and save us from ourselves. Stick around, im going to talk to Congressman Jimmy Raskin at the top of the.
