Welcome to prime time weekend point lets get right to the top stories this week. In a perfect world, we would not start where we are starting today. We would like to begin with the results of what amounts to a complete sideshow, a legal circus, a spectacle and a deliberate diversion. First and foremost, we should be clear that todays ruling from the Fulton County Superior Court was a victory for the rule of law for fani willis herself. In the matter of the d. A. S relationship with special prosecutor, nathan wade, the ultimatum and noun amounted to this, leave way behind her hot the prosecution altogether. It turned out to be an easy choice for d. A. Willis, a determined public figure. Remember what she said when she announced the indictment. The states role in this process is essential to the functioning of our democracy. Georgia, like every state has laws that allow those who believe the results of an election are wrong, whether because of intentional wrongdoing or unintentional erro
Is expected to deliver remarks in the st. Patricks Day Celebration. We will take you there, live, when the president begins speaking. While we wait, i am honored to be joined by senator warnock, democratic, of georgia. Thank you for joining us this evening. Good evening. Let me start with, as we wait for the president , i have to ask you about remarks made by his opponent, former President Trump, at a rally in ohio last night, the Presumptive Republican nominee warned that there would be a Bloodbath Unquote if he loses the election bid he claims he was talking about the Car Industry River but repeated those words several times and even said some migrants are not people and at another point called them animals. Whats your reaction . Well, my angelou said when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Donald trump is shown as who he is time and time and time again. We ought to take him seriously. This is the insurrectionist president. This is the man who egged on the m
Kind of a preview of how shell run her court and this case. And in deciding whether to grant Special Counsel jack smiths request for protective order limiting what the disgraced expresident can and cannot say publicly about the case, judge chutkan cuts through Talking Points like a hot knife through butter. On the First Amendment protections, they are so fond of citing, mr. Trump, like every american, has a First Amendment right to free speech. But that right is not absolute. Adding that without a protective order, the disclosure of discovery materials could lead to witnesses being harassed or otherwise interfering with a fair trial. What about the fact that trump is running for president. And chutkan did not mince words on that eithe saying, this is a criminal trial and i will not take into consideration the impact will have for have for a political came on either side. He will have all of the rights hesen tieptled to. The existence is not going to have any bearing on my decision. I i
This afternoon President Joe Biden is taking his brand on energy on the road after a fiery state of the Union Address in which he laid out the choice facing voters in november. He made a stunning indictment of the gops decision to turn its back on democracy and freedom both here and abroad, all in service of the disgraced wannabe autocrat who is The Republicans presumptive president ial nominee. President joe biden will be soon making remarks in pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is central to his hopes of prevailing in november. If todays speech is like anything we saw last night from the president he will take a blow torch to his opponent and the Republican Party. Standing before congress in front of some of the very same people who aided and abetted donald trump, trying to overturn the 2020 election, and the very seen of the crime that is the january 6th insurrection, President Biden on thursday night painted a picture of a Republican Party that has fallen so far it no longer respects or ad
Resentment, revenge, and retribution, thats not me. In my career, ive been told i was too young. By the way, they didnt let me on the senate elevators for votes sometimes. Not a joke. Ive been told i am too old. Whether young or old, ive always been known ive always known what endures. Ive known our north star. The very idea of america is that were all created equal. Deserves to be treated equally throughout our lives. Weve never fully lived up to that idea, but weve never walked away from it either. And i wont walk away from it now. Im optimistic. I really am. Im optimistic, nancy. Four more years four more years My Fellow Americans four more years the issue facing our nation isnt how old we are, its how old are our ideas . Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas. But you cant lead america with ancient ideas. Itll only take us back. You lead america, the land of possibilities, you need a vision for the future and what can and should be done. Tonight, youve heard mine
