thank you so much, reverend sharpton. a big show indeed, i am alicia menendez. welcome to a new weekend of american voices. with our country now in uncharted waters with the federal indictment of donald trump. this hour, the former president is going to make his second public parents it today. stopping in north carolina. we are not going to air his speech live. but we will bring you any news that he makes. we expect his speech to mirror his remarks, just hours ago in georgia. the former president, the only president in u.s. history to be federally charged with a crime, firing up his base. acting without a care in the world. repeating his same tired lie that his indictment is a product of a deep state witch hunt. instead of his own misdeeds. which we learned yesterday, not just hearsay, but caught on tape, and on camera. well trump can go out and say what he wants, the rubber meets the road this tuesday in miami. where this country, and the world, we ll see him face federal
me the most is that when you have these appeals that trump is making, that will then make their way into the right-wing media. and to the more violent parts of the right-wing media. to say hey, we have to call to arms. here you have to do something. there is to be a spark. you have to get out. there you have to take action. you have to be willing. you have to threaten. you have to use force. you have to escalate. what that basically does is it ratchets up that temperature a little bit more, and it keeps those people quiet. because everybody naturally ducks and covers when there is a risk for violence. especially when you are benefiting from it publicly. even if you re not participating in it. that s what concerns me. is that you not only have the potential for violence, but you also have a flexing in exercise of power. political power. increasing the authoritarian ways. angelo and matt, as always, thank you both so much for your time. next, what could trump do if he runs again, and w
courtroom. what would be the result if paul manafort is convicted of any of the counts that he faces in this trial, what would happen if he if the president pardoned him after the fact of those convictions? as the president may do at any time. so what would happen is that the slate would be wiped entirely clean. i imagine if there was a pardon it would include not only the charges in virginia but the charges in the district of columbia. however, that doesn t mean that bob mueller still couldn t question paul manafort. nothing would preclude mueller right then and there from issuing him a grand jury subpoena and requiring him to testify as to everything he knows in the grand jury. so a pardon wipes clean the convictions but it sure doesn t wipe clean the information. chuck rosenberg, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. thank you. coming up, we have a winner in the democratic primary election for paul ryan s
yesterday or tomorrow. so this makes absolutely no sense. i want to take you back to the issue of the paul manafort defense and some people staring at it today say it looks like a defense that is geared to a pardon. offering no witnesses, putting on no defense at all in the courtroom. what would be the result if paul manafort is convicted of any of the counts that he faces in this trial, what would happen if he if the president pardoned him after the fact of those convictions? as the president may do at any time. so what would happen is that the slate would be wiped entirely clean. i imagine if there was a pardon it would include not only the charges in virginia but the charges in the district of columbia. however, that doesn t mean that bob mueller still couldn t question paul manafort. nothing would preclude mueller right then and there from issuing him a grand jury subpoena and requiring him to testify as to everything he knows in the grand jury. so a pardon wipes clean the
jack johnson may 24. and today with dinesh d souza. tell me about the timeline and how this works. the process of it. because there is a pardon attorney at the justice department. but as i understand, one of the things that dinesh d souza has told the daily caller he appreciates president trump s gut sense of justice and other administrations would have had endless meetings but president trump just does it. how does it actually work? i got to say. this is another example of this administration not necessarily following the path that was blazed by prior administrations. president trump wants to do this his own way and that is exactly what he is doing. typically when you apply for a pardon it can be a multiyear process that involves an extensive vetting by the justice department attorneys who specialize in this. what the president is doing here at least in his initial pardon is acting when he personally feels that there has been a great and manifest injustice. he is not taking the ti
