to anonymize, and it is the political environment and someone will be taken off the ballot as we ve seen with regard to the supreme court buildings around the various states, but also that there are disagreements with regard to how to proceed on certain legislation that s really controversial in various states and again, instead of engaging and voting and volunteering or writing letters, you call in a bomb threat. so that s where we are now. people sitting back. it s the it s the use of technology, the anonymity they think they have, but i have to keep hammering this. consequences will come. these people will get caught. they will be arrested and the federal agencies are heavily involved in looking at this from a national threat picture. david jolly, i don t know if you saw this in an interview
there are those who want who are clamoring for america to be a certain kind of nation where people who look like me and you know our place and they re longing for a nostalgic view of america as a white nation and they re willing to throw american democracy into the trash bin. to their mind and i ll say this very quickly, in order to save the country, we must destroy american democracy, and i think it s that clear. you know, david, you and i talk a lot about the fact that i am not certain that some americans understand what it means to no longer live in a democracy, what that means in their day to day life, that it might sound very esoteric when in reality everything you do throughout the day throughout your life is determined by that fundamental fact. yeah. the ability of each of us to participate in self-governance. the remarkable thing about the american experiment is this idea that we can govern ourselves and if we look at the posture of our
objectives. eric trump, the former president s son called out the report and said that the profits were voluntarily donated to the u.s. treasury. to that, oversight democrats say the ex-president still violated the foreign emoluments clause of the constitution which bans any revenue from foreign governments and that is where we start today with a member of the house oversight committee, democratic congressman jasmine crocket of texas here with me at the table and also joining us, former congressman from florida, david joly and senior editor of senior opinion and msnbc political analyst tim o brien. it is good to see you all. representative crocket, walk us through the findings. so what i want the american people first to understand is that this isn t a knee-jerk reaction to the sham impeachment inquiry that we re dealing with. this is something that started seven years ago and elija cummings was the ranking member and he s the one that started this because he did have concerns becaus
is under criminal investigation for rape and whose governor is about to have to drop out of the presidential race because the culture wars that he launched in the state of florida simply aren t going to get him to the white house, and he will have to deal with that disappointment. at its root is what it means for children in the state of florida and students because it is our children, the children of my wife and i who will not be allowed in the state of florida to be taught that slavery and systemic racism has contributed to economic inequality in the united states. that s prohibited now in the state of florida, so it will be up to my wife and i to make sure that our children actually learn the truth about the history of race and the economy in the united states. under ron desantis leadership and the republican party who controls the super majority in the legislature, they continue to use race as a political tool and they do so in ugly and despicable ways, and i know eddie would say
strongest lessons in this report. because david, you re talking about account ability for what has transpired and you re talking about a trump second term where he would have less guardrails than he did this time, and someone would follow, and clause did not go to the united states congress seeking approval and got away with. that, too, presents a danger. alicia, one of the themes of the trump administration is the latency of the instrument of accountability and you can kind of break down all of these issues where he engaged in violations of the constitution and look at the latency of accountability. for instance, january 6th, it s been three years and is justice moving swiftly if it takes three
