which is always been the case for people of color, journalists around the world, they are the only people who can talk about their humanity. so why that mainstream media complex is saying, we do not believe you. you are not telling the truth. nothing that they, say nothing that so when i see these people, when they raise their dead children before cameras, i have so much, it s got fronting. i ve been to palestine myself. i honestly look at them, and i start, i pray for them. and i look at them and say, no matter how hard you try, there is a larger media network that is going to look at your baby, those dead children, the way they look at the children and the people who i was helping in ukraine. until we do with the racial dynamic of what s at play here, be honest, it s not going to change. thank you, my friend. and reporter: independent journalist terrell jermaine starr s is independent journalist and founder of block diplomatic and has an official youtube channel for s
nikki haley, though she is still polling far behind trump. there is evidence that trump himself might see haley as a growing threat, as he has targeted her this week with the same kind of false attack that he once used against both ra obama and ted cruz. trump pledged to a six half million followers on truth social, but hailie, ironically, is ineligible to be president because her parents were not u.s. citizens when she was born. well that part is true, but that has no effect on her eligibility to be president. nikki haley was born in south carolina, and has lived in the united states her entire life. joining me, now nbc news correspondent dasha burns, live from des moines. now on this you said last time, josh was there for. us vaughn hillyard, donald trump assad to host a rally later today. steve benen, joining us today. he s a producer for the rachel maddow show, and he s a editor for the rachel maddow blog, and the bulk of the impostors. our publicans quick governing and seized amer
so the victimhood, i am persecuted works to give a rationale for why they need immunity. and it s been like this ever since mussolini. all remind people, the first dictatorship was set up because mussolini had been he was fingered for being part of a political assassination, need to make his problems go away, because needed to at least be prosecuted, so he declared dictatorship in 1925. reporter: joyce, we ve all depend on the idea that the law works. the institutions largely work. donald trump may have tried to subvert some of them, but generally speaking, other than the policy decisions, things like the fall of roe v. wade, that the institutions held. now that we understand this way of thinking, i understand all trump is gonna try and get out of a political prosecution. if this really does fall his way, are you concerned that
