Voters in the 2022 elections. Its sunday, and you learn truth matters. The american people deserve the truth. And high party to this point has said things to it was hugs and kisses, antifa and blm. It was anything but what it was, which was a trump insurrection. As republicans run from the truth, other themes of the 2022 midterms emerge and are bound to evolve given rulings from the 63 Conservative Court. A decision on the court from the Mississippi Law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy could be heard next summer. A ruling that remains relevant and vital among the american public. Pugh research finds most americans support abortions in most or all cases. The decision on handguns could expand Gun Rights. Polling shows americans want more strict gun laws. And it all comes, republicanled states are pushing efforts. And then theres this. Its time to stand in honor for the great heroes of New York. As your governor, lets write the greatest Comeback Story ever. Thats right. Rudy giulianis son, Andrew Giuliani now in the race for New York governor, trying to bring trumpism to the empire state. We have all these republicanbacked policies against reproductive rights, gun control, and a party that may have Andrew Giuliani and trumpist policies in its future. Joining me are our strategists. The most Conservative Court in history is going to rule on Abortion And Gun laws. How could that impact the political landscape . We dont know what the Supreme Court will do here. It could take incremental steps or these could be Big Blockbuster Rulings Against Abortion Rights and in favor of Gun Rights. Given the conservative tilt of the Supreme Court we can be pretty confident that the right is going to be happy about this. If they are big rulings, this creates an opportunity for democrats. Because on the issue of Roe Versus Wade, polling shows as much as 70 of the public supports that decision and doesnt want abortion rights taken away. Guns used to be an issue for republicans but since the newtown shooting, Public Opinion has moved toward stricter gun laws. So this all creates an opportunity for democrats to say, okay, theyre probably going to lose at the Supreme Court, but they have an opportunity to galvanize voters, the majority of americans who agrees with them and says you should show up for politicians that are going to counter act the court. I want to read an article. The conservative majority must choose. Will the justices unravel decades of precedent or will they preserve the credibility of their institution . Mississippi flay grantly transgressed in a scheme to address precisely this Supreme Court showdown. The court would burn legitimacy if it upheld Mississippis Breach of precedent. They are making it hard tore vote and have gerrymandering. I feel like theres fires on all fronts that are working against democrats going into this Midterm Cycle where we know people who are in control of washington, the party in control tends to not do well. As he mentioned, these conservative rulings coming from the Supreme Court will absolutely 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 republicans pack the port. With Amy Coney Barretts Nomination happening just a week before the election. But i think with the Supreme Court democrats also have to prepare themselves to be responsive to democratic voters. What did you do to prevent this . What did you do to potentially change these outcomes and saying we started a commission to study it. Our hands are tied, its going to be insufficient for voters. When i look at Voting Rights we know this is something that State Houses across the country have been taking on with republicans essentially using a Copy And Paste approach. The issue is two fold. For the republican party there could be backlash from the reality that theyre still using these lies and unfounded claims of election fraud, which may turn off republican voters who no longer trust or have confidence in elections. So republicans have to tread carefully there. But i think democrats absolutely have a steady drum to beat around all the ways republicans are making us all safe or all the ways republicans are dismantling these systems. And i think back to what you mentioned about the January 6 commission being another prime example of Republicans Obstructing Americans from getting the truth. So democrats have a platterful of things to respond to. Its about how theyre going to be framed in a way that is motivating and sustainable for the next 18 months. And i would add to that, juanita, something that has a longterm vision, something that goes beyond 2020, which sahil, President Biden has a panel. Do you expect to see a push from progressives to expand the bench . Right. The commission had its first meeting earlier this week a few days ago, and its mandate, a report six months from the first meeting, which takes us to november. It is made up of liberal and conservative voices. I dont expect it to say just expand the court by four seats. Progressive activists are pushing that. They believe its already necessary to do, its already arguably justified by republican tactics in 2016, blocking a democrat from filling a vacancy and allowing a republican to fill a vacancy in 2020. So, where it goes from here is unclear, but yes, i do think those democrats will probably have a little bit more traction, a little bit more oxygen to push that message, maybe convert a few more lawmakers to that cause if something really transformative happens, like overturning Roe Versus Wade or expanding Gun Rights where anyone can carry outside the home. I want to turn to the January 6 attack on the capitol as they try to push on. I want to go to a Trump Supporter who was charged in the attack. Something in the back of my head was saying this is, like my rosa Parks Type of moment. This might be breaking the law, but as long as i show my face, as long as i show that i am, you know, not wanting to be violent or not engaging in violence with police then ill be fine. Let me put it bluntly. Some people are going to be outraged that you compare yourself to Rosa Parks. I, i think its, i think its an appropriate comparison. Juanita, hes seriously compared himself to Rosa Parks, which is, 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 system built to repress her as well as black people. He laughed because he knew it was asinine. He knew it would elicit a response from black and brown communities, because he knows hes wrong. And just like many of the insurrectionists he was shielded with his whiteness and breaking into the Capitol Building and threatening the lives of everybody in that building. So im just going to dismiss that as folly, because he knows thats a lie and not even give that any weight, because what the intention there is just to further the same lies that weve heard from republicans, that this was a normal tourist visit, right . Like they clearly were there and No One was killed on that day or after. No one was harmed, like these lies are just ridiculous. And so i refuse to give it further oxygen. I love that, sahil, juanita, thank you both. I want to turn to what a Post Roe America could look like. There are six states in the country that only have one abortion clinic, a result of relentless attacks from republicans on Abortion Access. Mississippi, the center of the new supreme Court Case is one of those states. The New York times reports many women in mississippi already live 250 or more miles from the nearest abortion clinic. And this map from the times shows the clinics likely to close in the south if the court reverses roe. This would force women throughout the southeast to Travel Hundreds of miles for Abortion Access. Joining me now to discuss the dangers of overturning roe, i want to start with the decision to hear the mississippi case. Reading the tea leaves, what kind of ruling should we start preparing for given the new conservative Super Majority . Just a decision to take the case is earthshattering. For years the Supreme Court has been asked to hear these kinds of ban that are previability. In this case, its a 15week Ban out of mississippi. The lower courts have said this is not a complicated question. For 50 years the Supreme Court has said a person has a right to end their pregnancy until the point of viability. Until the fetus if delivered is a baby and could survive on their own. It has not been considered in full for a long time. It means there are four justices on the Supreme Court that believe they could get it by. When trump ran in 2016 he said he would appoint justices that would overturn Roe Versus Wade. We are now headed in a direction which the court has never seriously gone before. And you have to be really devastating. You mentioned that access to abortion in this country is a right on paper only. It really depends on your zip code. But as we learned with trump, it could always get worse. If the court overturned roe, it could be left up to the states. What kind of hurdles will women living in states with no Abortion Access face . It very likely would effectively overturn roe v. Wade, if it can ban abortion before 15 weeks, why not six weeks as texas just did, why not before women even typically know theyre pregnant. That may be a missed period if you have a regular period. So yes, it is the case that states have already passed these laws. Theyre ready for this moment. Theyve been preparing for this moment, the Antiabortion Movement for decades. What clinics do remain would have to close and the abortion funds already working in states like missouri and mississippi would be working overtime to help individuals cross state lines. Now theres something that didnt exist before roe v. Wade. We typically think about this coat hanger image. If an individual wants to end their pregnancy on their own they can with a set of pills. It is now possible to get abortion pills by mail. Theres a safe way to do this and a potentially unsafe way to do it. One of the ways a postroe abortion could be unsafe, for those who may worry about their immigration status, who may be unable to take time off work, who may not have child care, who may not know about abortion funds there to help them is that taking matters into their own hands might lead them to come into the cross hairs of the criminal justice system. And weve already started to see that, even with abortion being legal, that women have been arrested because they are suspected of trying to end pregnancies on their own. This is the reality of a postroe world. Letitia james promised to do anything to promise trump. Former u. S. Attorney Chuck Rosenburg weighs in. And new calls from the u. N. To President Biden urging change to another aspect of immigration policy. But first, to Richard Lui and a look at the other big stories were tracking here on msnbc. The president of belarus used a fake Bomb Alert and Fighter Jet like this one to force a commercial jet to land in the capital of minsk. He wanted to arrest a Blogger And Journalist who was aboard a flight at that time. He was taken into custody. Democracies across the globe are condemning the move. And belaruss overall attacks against journalists. In northern italy, a Cable Car has plummeted to the ground. The italian government says a commission will investigate. And the cdc is in the early stages of investigating reports of young teens getting Heart Problems after getting vaccinated. New Infection Rates are going down as well as hospitalizations and deaths.

Liberty. Trumps legal jeopardy growing in New York. State Attorney General Letitia James appears to be following through on a promise she made when campaigning for the job, including using every area of the law to investigate trump. We are now investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity. And we are working alongside, cooperating with the Manhattan District attorney. The Trump Family says the case amounts to political persecution. And one writes her prior remarks give rise to a perception of unfairness. All right, chuck, lets hear your case. Why should the new York A. G. Recuse herself . Yeah, and alicia, 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 perceived as objectively fair. I dont question that shes actively fair, but a number of comments that the New York State Attorney general made while running for office and before taking office struck me as prejudging the Trump Case and prejudging trump. Now im no fan of mr. Trump for anybody whos ever heard my commentary on this network. But thats not the point. Like anybody else, hes entitled to be judged fairly, and if hes tried and convicted to be tried and convicted by a neutral jury. And also by prosecutors who dont have a predisposition to the case. She did. She does. And so i think, while i think shes done an admirable job as Attorney General and that shes an honorable and good person, she prejudged the case, and she ought to consider stepping aside. Its not that Big A deal. This happens. When i was united States Attorney for the eastern district of virginia i recused myself from at least one case i recall specifically, maybe a second, because of the perception of a conflict. We have to be objectively fair and perceived as objectively fair. Now there is now element that is coming into this conversation, all be it very projected out into the future, which is Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giulianis son, saying hes going to run for governor of New York. Of course he would have to actually run. He would have to actually 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 or becoming a governor doesnt change that fact at all. If hes the Subject Or Target of an investigation, i have no reason to think that he is. Running for governor or becoming a governor doesnt change that fact at all. We have prosecuted numerous politicians in the department of justice, including in my office, in my day. And so, im not sure it complicates a prosecution. It does make the politics a little bit more dicey. But to the extent we keep politics out of our work, and thats one reason we often consider recusal, i dont think it makes it that much more difficult, alicia. We talk about how the Trump Organization is the target of civil and criminal cases in New York. I myself took the ls. A. T. Im sure you did really well. Its killer. Im not proud of my score. But think of it this way. If you were to get a Parking Ticket or park in a fire lane, thats a civil violation. You pay a fine. Its, you broke a rule or a regulation. But you didnt commit a crime. If you try to run someone down with your car and you did so intentionally, thats a crime. Civil cases require a lower burden of proof. A preponderance of evidence. And theyre usually about Money Or Compensation or making someone whole, perhaps as a result of an accident. Criminal cases are very different. They require specific intent. Were not talking about money anymore. Were talking about liberty. Because if youre convicted of a crime you can go to jail. So the government, the State Government in this case, can bring a civil action to recover money or a criminal action because it thinks someone broke the law and ought to go to jail. Big difference between the two. They both have consequences, but a criminal case is far more serious. All right, chuck rosenberg, as always, thank you so much.

The biden administration is granting more than 100,000 haitians in the united states the opportunity to apply for temporary protected status, preventing deportation. This comes after hundreds of Advocacy Groups and Human Rights Activists have been ringing the alarm on the need to protect haitians seeking refuge in the united states, fleeing political unrest and rising covid cases. But sticking points remain with the White Houses handling of immigration as the united nations echoes calls for the end of swift title 42 restrictions. And soon, all eyes will be on Vice President kamala harris, as she flies to guatemala, honduras, El Salvador next month. And fresh reporting from my next guest reveals why she may be leaning on guatemala. Joining me, sabrina, talk us through the decision by the biden administration to grant tps to haitians. What is it going to mean for those seeking to come to the u. S. . Yeah, alicia, it is hard to understate, this is big news. For months weve been seeing immigration advocates really pushing for the biden administration to do this, just given the political crisis and how haiti is dealing with the pandemic right now. So its big news to see that 100,000 haitians will be able to granted tps. And for them, that means being shielded from deportation and having access to work permits. This isnt a permanent solution, you know, as the temporary protective status says, this is for 18 months but goes toward something advocates have been talking about for a while. While we see this Tps Redesignation theres also title 42 still in play. Prevents so many from being able to seek asylum due to covid restrictions. The u. S. Want it gone. What is your reporting telling us how the biden administration is responding to the pressure. The biden administration is really holding strong on defending its use of title 42. We saw Alejandro Mayorkas emphasizing that title 42 was not a tool of immigration but a tool for public health. Advocates have been saying this for month. If the majority of people who are arriving at the border with title 42 are being immediately kicked back without the right to seek asylum. And we know it is based on International Law and u. S. Law. You have a legal right to seek asylum here. Vice president harris is heading to Guatemala And Honduras and mexico next month. Its because its willing to talk about the tough issues and not honduras or El Salvador. Talk to us about the expectations with guatemala and concerns over full cooperation from the region at large. Yeah, so, you know, with harris being tasked with dealing with the diplomatic efforts towards that region, you know, shes run into this issue of who do i work with . Because the governments, we know one of the biggest issues is systemic corruption and that stems from some of these governments. Right now were seeing in Honduras A president who, 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 are the ones that have all this evidence. And with El Salvador weve seen an increasingly authoritarian president who is widely popular but however has made several power grabs in recent months that are concerning to the u. S. By default were seeing some of this work happening with guatemala. The president has been willing to talk about the tough issues, talk about 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 kind of action happen will be a challenge and definitely something that were not going to see in the immediate term necessarily. Sabrina rodriguez, thank you for your reporting. Joining us to discuss the redesignation of tps, president of the haitian bridge alliance. You have been fighting tireless for this, sounding the alarm on why haitians are fleeing the country, under political turmoil, ravaged by covid. How did you feel when you saw this news . Thank you, alicia, for having us and for being a fierce advocate on behalf of immigration. When i received the call, it was mixed emotions. Really, it was a relief knowing that over 150,000 of my Brothers And Sisters will be able to be protected. But at the same time, you know, we push so hard and been fighting so hard in understanding we still have a long way to go. It was a mix of relief, you know, for the protection and celebrating really, the lives for those people and buckling up to push forward for more change and more fair immigration system. Lets talk about buckling down. First i want to be very clear. This applies to people who are already in the united states. It doesnt apply to people who are seeking asylum moving forward. It doesnt apply to people who are here whove already been deported, is that correct . That is correct. As of right now it applies to people already in the country as of friday, may 21st, 2021. So anybody who are still at the u. S. Mexico border who are not in the country presently will not be able to qualify to apply for the tps. So as mentioned, the united nations is urging the biden administration to end title 42. You of course, 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, its that title 42 is a sham right now. Because, if you look at the reasons why they are using title 42 to expel people outside of the country doesnt make sense, especially now that we have a less, you know, restriction on Covid19 Understanding that the people if they are being tested do not present a risk to us in the united states. So we understand that we must continue to push, and we agree with united nations and with the countless of our partners who have been underground pushing for biden and the administration to stop using title 42 as a way to really put those people into a condition that is extremely inhuman, and we are asking for welcome for people with dignity so they can provide for themselves and safety.

Snl reflecting in last Nights Season Finale in doing a show during a pandemic. And last night felt relatively normal thanks to having a live audience again. And the Billboard Music awards are back. One of the industrys biggest nights where artists are nominated and judged based on how well they dominated the music charts. Gina kim is live on the Red Carpet. How will covid protocols change Tonights show . Reporter well, its more about how covid protocols are not changing the show Tonight. This is the first live audience, traditional live audience were having in a major Award Show since the pandemic began. We have 500 to 600 people waiting outside for the show to begin just any minute now. Theyve all been vaccinated and have to prove that they were. So a lot of artists are talking about Tonight, the Billboard Music awards, 2021 as 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.
