traitors and slave owners who fought against this country and lost, that was apparently a bridge too far for donald trump. in the end, the senate voted overwhelmingly. 81 to 13, to override the president s veto. it commissioned a commission was established to recommend new names for those faces. this year, the pentagon began that mission. one of the bases on their list was fort lee in virginia, named after the leader of the confederacy. in april, fort lee officially became fort greg adams, named after two black officers who fought fiercely against segregation in the military. very fitting. starting today, the army s largest base, fort bragg, will now be known as fort liberty, the north carolina base has officially given up the name of it s unpopular confederate namesake. opting instead to honor or one of the founding principles of this country. that is our show for tonight. now it s time for the last word with ali velshi in for lawrence. good evening ali.
certifications, to basically submit false slates of electors when came time for certification in washington, d. c.. do you think that the fake electors case is harder to prove than maybe some folks think it is on its face? no, i think it s easier. i see the bar, but i call it medium. you re not a lawyer, but you are a juror. and jurors are used to as use their common sense. these guys, 16 of them, signed a certificate saying donald trump had won and they knew he and they, each signatory, was a duly elected and qualified elector which was complete malarkey and they had no basis in it. and in their closed-door meeting et cetera. but we have she, funny willis, has enlisted at least eight people to be cooperators. they were part of the scheme but they re gonna be able to stand up, i assume, and say, yes, here s what we re doing. yes, we knew he hadn t won, yes
in a letter obtained by nbc news, doj not pursuing charges and the investigation has been closed. so finally, some good news for mr. pence, who is expected to officially announce his confounding bid for the presidency next week. the same, however, cannot be said for donald trump, whose legal woes continue to worsen and who was already complaining about mike pence again. he posted on truth social today, quote, that s great, but when am i going to be fully exonerated? i m at least as innocent as he is! the exoneration for trump right now seems unlikely. especially after this week s reporting that the special counsel has obtained an audio recording of trump acknowledging he held on to a classified document about a potential attack on iran after leaving the white house. crucially for prosecutors, in that recording, trump reportedly suggested that he would like to share the information but was aware of
i said let s not talk about that. let s get to the policy, things people are doing and saying. everybody running in a campaign is qualified to run. let s get to the policies and what you stand for. what senator warnock is standing for is not for georgia. he s for joe biden. anyone who voted with him 96% of the time, so it s his fault. brian: you didn t come back for your senior year. and you met a guy named donald trump and you are still friends today. a coach went out of his way and he offered this endorsement. he s a real patriot of this country.
brian if you want to know if donald trump is going to run in 2024, you have to look at what he does with his candidates in 2020. the man who can t stop studying going inside the numbers, bill hemmer, here with a trump report card so far. where do you want to start? bill: i think you know to consider what his track record is thus far. he clock in around 95% in the primary season. we tracked it for 95%. i would put his candidates in didn t categories. if democrats pick up a seat in the senate, all of this goes out the window, it doesn t matter. i would make the argument only if republicans take the majority
