you may not have not heard anywhere else, and why so many people, even in the we will set the record straight then, taking apart the dangers of antisemitic attacks o manhattan da alvin bragg and george soros and later, one democrat chos the rest of his party how to get angry on gun violence an school shootings and why tha anger matters. good evening. i am mehdi hasan we have all heard it it is unprecedented. it is shocking to see. a taboo has been broken. the indictment of donald trump by a grand jury in manhattan s impending arraignment in les than 48 hours has less - including for many liberals, about how rubicon has been crossed when it comes to dealing with former presidents how this can open the doors to endless political persecutions of former presidents going forward. so tonight, i have one simpl message for everyone following the story, especially for my fellow journalists we have her entire framing o this indictment wrong. in fact, earned her approach t this indi
bowman and massie, you see democratic congressman form th majority - tempting to hold bowman back he then sullenly walks away. i just noticed, it s not jus republicans who want bowman an others to come down. it is establishment from the democrats to haven t shown sufficient outraged on thi issue in recent years. i m just so tired of th faux civility. did we not see republicans g to blows when they were trying to count the votes for kevin mccarthy the reality is is that mos americans are as angry a representative bowman. they should be children are dying and the republican party say that is okay you have people offering u solutions like, let s just hav one door it is not the guns that ar killing the kids is the fact that they can t ge out of the classrooms quic enough let s build white boards tha are bulletproof. let s send kids to cool with bulletproof backpacks.
bowman is a former teacher himself. massie is not. and three, him telling bowman, a black man, to calm down is a best condescending, at worst racist oh, in bowman s outrage is o course, justified. of course he will come down. he is representing what hi constituents and people across the country are feeling righ now. ridge. a rage americans are justifiably angr about school shootings about the killing of our kids. and all of our lawmakers on th hill should be channeling that anger. and that no, my panel is bac with me. molly, let me start with you arming teachers is the ridiculous gop solution, the same teachers who they don t trust to teach our kids abou american history or se education. we give them guns. yeah. they don t trust the teacher to pick the box but they won t have guns. i mean, thomas massie is such good example of this kind of congress person. his whole goal is to make th government small enough so i can be drowned in a bathtub.
and at least 78 countries. 70 so our fellow americans need t wake up and realize that we ar behind the rest of the world when it comes to holding forme leaders accountable. this is american exceptionalis of the worst kind. yeah. i m glad you brought up that point. we are seeing in realtime what happens when you don t hol former leaders accountable for their alleged crimes off to do is just look at what is happening overseas in israe with thousands of israelis taking to the streets in protest. you may recall trump s bestie, prime minister bettered me netanyahu in israel, he wa facing corruption charges when he decided to run again fo office and what does he do, as soon a he returns to power? it begins to overhaul th country s judiciary, t effectively she ll themselve from any prosecution he s basically rigging the system so that he cannot b tried or how to countable. so you talked about this las week on your show, which i
held in the east room, attend s hand picked group of veterans of all ranks and allstates representing all service branchs. military families will be there, too. in total, 200 people will go to that white house dinner and that is a great honor for those 200 veterans and military families, nothing wrong with that at all. but what about the other 1.5 million americans who served in iraq? what about us af rage americans, the rest of us, civilians who want a chance to say thank you and welcome home since the war was fought in our name. whether or not we agreed with the reasons for fighting it. wishing the iraq war had never happened is one thing. pretending it didn t happen is another thing. iraq and afghanistan veterans of america is the nation s first and larnest organization of veterans of the wars in iraq and of afghanistan, they are asking the president to convene a meeting of mayors nationwide, mayors and leading veterans groups to plan a national day of action to
