Elections. Sending this warning to fellow republicans. Its sunday, you learn in Sunday School that truth matters. American people deserve the truth and my party to this point said it was hugs and kisses, it was antifa and blm, anything but a attack on the capitol. Deserve the truth. Decision from the court on Mississippi Law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy is expected next summer, could severely weaken roe v. Wade which declared Access A Constitutional Right in 1973. Pew research finds 6 in 10 americans support abortions in all or most cases. Also set to rule on case carrying concealed hand guns, decision could expand Gun Rights. Polling shows americans want more strict gun laws. All comes as republicanled states are pushing Voter Suppression efforts to slow the growing democratic coalition. Then theres this. Time to stand in honor of great heroes of New York, greatest chapters are yet to be written. As your governor, lets write the greatest Comeback Story ever. Thats right, rudy Giulianis Son now in the race to become new York Governor and bring trumpism to the state. A party that may have Andrew Giuliani and trumpist policies in the future. Sahil, most conservative Supreme Court is going to rule on Abortion And Gun rights before midterms. How could rulings from the court that dont match the views of most americans, you saw the polling, impact the political landscape . We dont know what the Supreme Court is going to do here, could take incremental steps in conservative direction or big, Blockbuster Rulings Against Abortion Rights in favor of Gun Rights. Given the conservative tilt of the Supreme Court, can be confident the right is going to be happy about this. If they are big rulings, creates opportunity for democrats. On the issue of roe versus wade, as much as 70 supports that decision and doesnt want abortion rights to be taken away. Guns used to be winning issue for republicans but since 2013, the Newtown Shooting of children in classroom, Public Opinion has moved toward stricter gun laws. This all creates opportunity for democrats to say theyre probably going to lose at Supreme Court but they have opportunity to galvanize voters who happen to agree with them on these issues. May not be happy with what happened in court, show up to vote for politicians who will try to counteract them. Article about the Courts Decision to hear the mississippi case. Reads the courts conservative majority must choose, will they unravel decades of precedent for ideological victory on hot Button Issue or preserve the credibility of their institution. Mississippi flagrantly flouted the ruling to produce this showdown. In an instant would burn a precious store of legitimacy and uphold the brazen breach of precedent. And at the same time states making it harder to vote. How do democrats successfully fight against systems designed to enable a republican agenda . Yeah, theres fires on all fronts working against democrats for this midterm cycle. Party in control of washington tends to not do well, but as sahil mentioned, potentially conservative rulings will be a motivating factor if they go the way we think they will. I think there is a really easy story for democrats to tell about how trump republicans packed the court. With Amy Coney barretts confirmation a week before the election, the throughline is there to message and frame. But democrats also have to prepare themselves to be responsive to democratic voters who are like, wait, youre in control, made no effort to expand the courts, what did you do to prevent this, change the outcomes. Saying we started a commission to study it or hands are tied, insufficient for voters. Voting rights, this is something that State Houses across the country have been taking on with republicans using a Copy And Paste approach to Voter Suppression tactics. Issue is twofold. For the republican party could be backlash from the reality theyre still using lies and unfounded claims of Election Fraud which may turn off republican voters who no longer trust or have confidence in elections. Republicans have to tread carefully there. I think democrats absolutely have a steady drum to beat around all the ways republicans are making us unsafe and dismantling these systems. What you mentioned about the January 6th commission another prime example of Republicans Obstructing Americans from getting the truth. Democrats have a platterful of things to respond to. Its about how theyre going to beat that Drum And Frame it in way thats motivating and mobilizing and sustainable for next 18 months. And add to that, juanita, something that has longterm vision, beyond 2022. Commission on reforming the Supreme Court, if the court does weaken roe, do you expect to see a push from progressives to expand the bench . The commission had its first meeting earlier this week, just a few days ago and mandate is deliver a report six months from the first meeting, takes us to november. Commission is made up of liberal and conservative voices. Do not expect it to put out a recommendation of saying expand the court by four seats. Progressive activists are pushing that proposal. Believe its already necessary to do, arguably justified by the republican tactics in 2016, blocking the democrats and filling vacancy in Election Year and allowing republican to fill a vacancy in 2020. Where it goes from here is unclear, but yes, i do think those democrats will have a little bit more Traction And Oxygen to push that message, maybe convert a few lawmakers in congress to that cause. If something transformative happens such as Overturning Roe Versus Wade for expanding Gun Rights where anyone can carry outside the home and states cant stop it. Turn to the attack on the capitol as the republicans push to move on, saying its too early to deal with. New documentary of Trump Supporter charged in the attack. Something in the back of my head was saying this is my rosa Parks Type of moment. This might be breaking the law but as long as i show my face, show im not wanting to be violent or engaging with violence with police, then ill be fine. Let me put it bluntly, felipe, some people are going to be outraged that you compare yourself to Rosa Parks. I think its the i think its an appropriate comparison. Hes seriously compared himself to Rosa Parks, which is devastating and and i have no words. Your thoughts . It shows that he does not understand the history of this country, what Rosa Parks experienced, the systems built to oppress her as well as black people. And i cant give that any weight, alicia. He laughed because he knew it was asinine, would elicit a response from black and brown communities because he knows hes wrong. He was shielded by his whiteness as he joined other people in the crowd fighting with officers, Beating Officers and breaking into the Capitol Building and threatening the lives of every member, Staffer And Worker in that building. Im going to dismiss that as folly. He knows thats a lie. And really not even give that any weight because what intention there is further the same lies weve heard from republicans, this was a normal tourist visit, right . They clearly were there, No One was killed on that day or after, No One was harmed, these lies are ridiculous. I refuse to give it further oxygen. I love that. Thank you both. I want to turn to what a Post Roe America could Look like. Millions of Women In America Living in states where Abortion Access is severely limited. Six states in country with only one abortion clinic, result of relentless attacks by republicans on Abortion Access. Mississippi is one of those states. New york times reports many women in mississippi live 250 or more miles from nearest abortion clinic. This map shows the clinics likely to close in the south if the court reverses roe. Would force women throughout the southeast to Travel Hundreds of miles for Abortion Access. Joining me now, senior correspondent for New York magazine. Want to start with the decision to hear the mississippi case. Reading the tea leaves, what ruling should we prepare for from this court given its new Conservative Supermajority . Just a decision to take the case is earthshattering. For years the Supreme Court has been asked to care these bans previability. This case 15week ban out of mississippi. Supreme court and lower courts have said its not complicated question. For 50 years said that person has a right to end their pregnancy until the point of viability, that the fetus if delivered could survive on their own. For the court to revisit this fundamental question it has not reconsidered for a long time means there are four justices on the Supreme Court who think they can get to five. This is the world that Donald Trump promised when he ran for president in 2016. Said would appoint justices to overturn roe v. Wade. Whether they say the words, were headed in direction the court has never seriously gone before. Impact could be devastating. Mentioned already that access to abortion across this country is right on paper only. Really depends on your zip code. But as weve learned in trump years and pick up pieces, it can always get worse. If the court overturns roe, Abortion Access would be left up to the states. What hurdles will women living in states with no Abortion Access face . We dont know exactly how the court would write its opinion but likely effectively overturn roe v. Wade by considering the question whether you can ban abortion before viability, before 15 weeks, why not six weeks or before women typically know theyre pregnant, maybe a mixed period if you have regular period. States have passed these laws and are ready and prepared for this moment for decades. Ready to quote pull the trigger to make sure abortion is illegal. What clinics remain would have to clean and abortion funds working in states like mississippi and missouri would be working overtime to help individuals cross State Lines. Something that didnt exist before roe v. Wade, we think about the coat hanger image. Can end pregnancy with set of pills that fda has recently made more accessible. Its possible to get abortion pills by mail. Theres safe way and potentially unsafe way to do it. One of the Ways Post Roe abortion could be unsafe for folks already marginalized, worry about immigration status, cant take time off to cross State Lines or know about the funds available to help them, taking matters in their own hands could bring them into the cross hairs of the criminal justice system. Even with abortion being legal, women are arrested suspected of trying to end pregnancies of their own. This is preview of Post Roe Reality where people feel like they dont have safe place to go. When running for New York, Attorney General Letitia James promised to use the law to prosecute trump. Does that create a conflict now she is investigating trump . Chuck rosenberg weighed in.

Trumps legal jeopardy growing in New York. State Attorney General Letitia James appears to be following through on promise made when campaigning for job, to quote use every area of the law to investigate Donald Trump. Our civil investigation continues but now actively investigating the Trump Organization in criminal capacity, working alongside and cooperating with the Manhattan District attorney, cy vance. Former u. S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg argues The Ag should recuse herself. Prior remarks give rise to perception of unfairness. Msnbc contributor, former u. S. Attorney and senior official. Why should the New York ag recuse herself . I think its really important for folks to understand, prosecutors have to be two things simultaneously and all the time number one, objectively fair, and number two, perceived as objectively fair. You have to be both. I dont question shes objectively fair but number of comments made running for office and before taking office struck me as prejudging the Trump Case and trump. Im not fan of mr. Trump for anybody who has ever heard my commentary on the network, but thats not the point. Like anybody else hes entitled to be judged fairly. If tried and convicted, will be by a neutral jury and prosecutors without a predisposition to the case. She did, she does. So i think while i think shes done admirable job as Attorney General and is honorable and good person, she prejudged the case, should step aside. Not big deal. When i was united States Attorney for district of virginia, i recused myself from at least one case, maybe a second, because of perception of conflict. We have to be objectively fair and perceived as objectively fair. Another element is coming into the conversation, albeit projected out into the future, Andrew Giuliani, rudy Giulianis Son going to run for governor of New York. Would have to actually run, and win, but what would the potential complications be there when the reality of those politics bump up against these legal cases . Well, sure. If hes a witness in an investigation, running for governor, becoming a governor doesnt change that fact at all. If hes the Subject Or Target of an investigation, i have no reason to think he is, running for governor, becoming a governor doesnt change that fact at all. We have prosecuted numerous politicians in department of justice, including in my office in the day. Im not sure it complicates a prosecution, makes the politics more dicey, but to the extent we keep politics out of our work, why we consider recusal, i dont believe it makes it more difficult. We talk about the Trump Organization as target of civil and criminal cases in New York. I took the lsat, extent of my legal expertise. Talk us through the difference in how the two cases would be litigated. What can we expect . Yeah. Absolutely. Im sure you did really well on the lsats too. Logic games are a killer. They are hard. Im not proud of my score. But i will tell you this, think of it this way, if you were to get a Parking Ticket or park in a fire lane, thats civil violation, pay a fine for breaking a Rule Or Regulation but you didnt commit a crime. If you tried to run someone down with your car intentionally, thats a crime. Civil cases require a lower burden of proof, preponderance of evidence and usually Money Or Compensation or making someone whole, perhaps as result of accident. Criminal cases are very different. Require specific intent, not money anymore but liberty, if convicted of crime can go to jail. Federal Government Or State government can bring civil enforcement to recover money or criminal Enforcement Action because someone broke the law and ought to go to jail. Big difference but criminal case is far more serious. Chuck as always, thank you so much.

Were following new developments on immigration, Biden Administration granting more than 100,000 haitians in the united states the opportunity to apply for Temporary Protected Status, preventing deportation. Comes after hundreds of Advocacy Groups and Human Rights advocates have been ringing alarm on need to protect haitians seeking refuge, fleeing political unrest and rising covid cases. But United Nations is calling for swift end of title 42 restrictions put in place by Trump Administration to kick out migrants under the guise of safety. Vice president Kamala Harris flies to get to the root causes. And why she may be leaning on guatemala. Immigration correspondent for politico. Talk us through the decision to grant tps for haitians. What does that mean for those seeking to come to the u. S. . It is hard to understate, this is big news. For months been seeing immigration advocates pushing for the Biden Administration to do this, just given the political crisis and how haiti is dealing with the pandemic right now. Its big news to see that 100,000 haitians will be able to be granted tps. That means shielded from deportation and having access to work permits. This isnt a permanent solution, Temporary Protected Status is temporary for 18 months but goes a long way for something immigrant advocates have been talking about for a while. Why we see this redesignation, title 42 still in play preventing many from seeking asylum. U. N. Wants it gone. How is the Biden Administration responding to the pressure . Biden administration so far is holding strong on defending its use of title 42. We saw last week the Dhs Secretary Majorca testified and said its a tool for public health, not immigration. But majority of people arriving at border with title 42 are immediately kicked back without the right to seek asylum. It is based on International Law and u. S. Law, you have legal right to seek asylum here. Vice president harris is heading to guatemala and mexico. Youre saying administration is most optimistic about guatemala, its willing to talk about tough issues and its not honduras or el salvador. Talk to us about the expectations and concerns about full cooperation from the region writ large. With harris tasked with dealing with diplomatic efforts toward that region, run into issue of who do i work with. The governments, one of the biggest issues is systemic corruption. That stems from some of these governments. In honduras were seeing a president , if you talk to experts they say he could be indicted any day now. Hes been tied and linked to Organized Crime for years and u. S. Federal prosecutors have all this evidence. And with el salvador, seen increasingly authoritarian president who was widely popular but has made several power grabs in recent months concerning to the u. S. By default seeing some of the work happening with guatemala. President there has been willing to talk about the tough issues, rule of law, corruption, some of these issues. But when you talk to former u. S. Officials and experts on this, they say talking is great but seeing action happen will be a challenge and definitely something were not going to see in the immediate term necessarily. Sabrina rodriguez, thank you for your reporting. Joining us to discuss redesignation of tps or haitians, member of the alliance. Youve been fighting tirelessly for this. Haitians fleeing political turmoil and covid. How did you feel . Thank you for having us and being a fierce advocate on behalf of immigration. When i received the call, mixed emotions. Relief knowing that over 150,000 of my Brothers And Sisters will be able to be protected. But at the same time, we pushed so hard and been fighting so hard and understanding we still have a long way to go. It was mix of relief for the protection and celebrating the lives of those people. Also buckling up to push forward for more changing and fair immigration system. Lets talk about that, to be clear this applies to people already in the united states. It doesnt apply to people who have seeking asylum moving forward, doesnt apply to people here who have been deported before, correct . Thats correct. As of right now applies to people in the country as of friday, may 21st, 2021. Anybody still at u. S. mexico border, not in the country presently will not be able to qualify to apply for tps. United nations is urging the Biden Administration to end title 42. You and other advocates have been on this. Do you think the administration is feeling the pressure on this . What do you make of their pushback . You know, as we have said many, many times before, alicia, title 42 is a sham right now. If you Look at reasons why theyre using title 42 to expel people outside of the country, doesnt make sense. Especially now that we have less restriction on covid19, understanding these people if theyre tested will not present a Health Risk to us in the united states. So we understand that we must continue to push and agree with the United Nations and countless partners who have been on the ground pushing for President Biden and the administration to reset and stop using title 42 as a way to really put those people into a condition that is extremely inhuman. We are asking for welcome people with dignity so they can be able to provide for themself, and most importantly get the safety they deserve. I have to tell you, when the news about tps came out, we had to talk to you. Thanks for making time today. Next, how cyberwar is playing into actual warfare in the middle east.

Last night felt refreshingly normal thanks to having live audience again. Something else will feel closer to normal, Billboard Music awards are back. One of the industrys biggest nights, artists nominated and judged based on how well they dominated the music charts. Geena kim is live, how will covid protocols change tonights show . Reporter well, its more about how covid protocols are not changing the show tonight. This is first live, traditional live audience were having in major Award Show since the pandemic began. 500 to 600 people waiting outside for the show to begin any minute now. All been prove that they were. A lot of artists are talking about the Billboard Music awards 2021 as being a bit of a hopeful milestone that were kind of going back to a little bit of live concept going, right . Here on the Red Carpet or the black carpet that im standing on, very few people, very few Media Outlets were allowed to be here. Im allowed to keep my mask off but a lot of artists, they are as well. All the other crews have to have it on. Between all of that, i think that it is really going to add to the excitement to an already heavyhitting line up. Done only one of those carpets and what stood out to me was the experience of doing it there, that everyone is not wearing their heels, that everyone is in their sneakers, trying to get as many Celebrity Interviews as they can. Tell me more of what you heard today. Yeah. So we interviewed the brother group ajr. And i asked them, you know, what do you guys have coming up . They said tonight is our first time performing live. This summer theyre going to pack it in. Theyre going to hit the load, be touring and so many of the people were talking to tonight are saying theyre Looking forward to that cautiously, obviously, because we know what the State Of The World is. Tonight feels like a little bit of a turning point. Highlights in the show tonight, duran duran. Im a child of the 80s. They are performing tonight. Bts coming live from korea with their just released single butter, and a very special performance from pink who won the icon award.

You start to understand how important that is for energy, for excitement. Can you talk a little bit about what we can expect to see tonight . Yes. So, youre going to have three different stages. Only one is going to be on the inside, and the rest are going to be outside so that you can have that audience participation.

Pop Smoke And Juice world are up for all these awards. And they passed away in their 20s in the last couple of years. That will be a bittersweet moment, alicia.
