Gaza will continue for many months, we will look at war resistance inside israel. Earlier this week, an 18yearold israeli was sentenced to 30 days in prison for refusing to enlist. We will speak to a palestinian member of the knesset who was suspended for criticizing israels assault on gaza. Then we will speak to the founder of the palestine childrens relief fund. I just learned of two children who were killed this week with their families in the gaza strip. That makes six children we have brought pretreatment to the United States that have been killed. We are calling for an immediate ceasefire. Amy then to mexico where secretary of state tony blinken and Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas met with mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wednesday to discuss migration and the border. The visit of lincoln and mayorkas is another sign the Biden Administration is caving to further criminalize and expel migrants and asylumseekers. Amy all that and more, coming up. Welcome to
[applause] [applause] good afternoon Justice Amy Coney barrett and i am delighted you are here. Im delighted be here and think you for having me. Thank you for coming especially in the first two weeks of the current term which began the first monday in october and how is it going this year. Related this good so far we only had six and and run a two week in between our sessions so oral argue in arguments last week now it will be two weeks of readings to prepare for the next round. Will we are delighted that you are here. And for so many reasons. You grew up in new orleans, the other end of the mississippi. I did. I think you said there is a Family Connection to the university of minnesota and can you tell us about that. I did and professor stein did not know this so i dont think it was the reason you invited me about my brother actually went there and so so my first time visiting campus. Compaq ipaq. And so he lived in a house down talent so i went to visit. I know something about the u
Well, we dont have a platform. We recognize that, historically in the Republican Party, all kinds of people have had different views on all kinds of important issues. But, there have been certain principles that are broader than particular issues where every republican disagreed and they dont anymore. This has been turned on its head. Just to give you one example, americas involvement in the world, peace through strength, we had a majority of republican members of the House Of Representatives who voted against aid to ukraine. In the very near future, no republican would have voted against aid to ukraine, i mean, we tried isolationism in the 1930s and it didnt work out very well. Now, republicans are saying, in essence, okay, Vladimir Putin, take it. You want ukraine, it is yours. Trump has said he would invite Vladimir Putin to invade nato countries. Can you imagine Ronald Reagan saying that . We have gone from mikael gorbachev, tear down this wall to Vladimir Putin, have at it. It is
No other president has been indicted like this. Trumps lawyers arguing he should be immune, basically totally immune because he was president during those efforts. That is a new relatively made up claim which they lost unanimously before the respected d. C. Court of appeals. Keep that in mind. That is the recent precedent and context for today, and you may remember that was the now infamous hearing where the trump lawyer openly claimed that as President Trump could have a license to kill american opponents. That was the kind of chilling talk that many, many people across the spectrum rebuked then. That kind of talk was back today with grave questions about murder and coups and trumps lawyer saying its okay or it all depends. Lets say this president , who ordered the military to stage a coup. Orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts. I think it would depend on the circumstances. It would depend on the hypothetical. It raises questions. O
Them. Trump calling the trial a witch hunt to keep him off the campaign trail. Watch. This is a biden witch hunt to keep me off the campaign trail. I should be in georgia now. I should be in florida now. I should be in a lot of different places right now campaigning and im sitting here. And a this will go on for a long time. Its very unfair. This is a case that nobody wanted to he bring including alvin bragg. It was just at the last second this never happened before where the state tries to assert itself in federal elections. Nobodys ever seen it. Maria it was former Biden Justice Department Official delivering the prosecutions Opening Statement as the judge ruled if trump testifies in his own defense. Other cases against him are fair game to be brought up. I think this is interesting that its michael colangelo. He served as u. S. Associate attorney general under president Joe Bidens Administration and then he left that position to become a state prosecutor in alvin braggs office. So r
