welcome back to the weekend. developing overnight, president biden had some of his most forceful comments yet about the state of the supreme court. speaking at a fundraiser in los angeles alongside former president obama and host jimmy kimmel, the president laid out how much more conservative the court could get if trump wins a second term.

>> the next president is likely to have two new supreme court nominees. two more. he already has appointed two that have been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals. the supreme court has never been as out of kilter as it is today. i mean, never. i have taught constitutional law for nine years. this guy knows more about it then most. the fact of the matter is, there has never been a court this far out of step. >> joining us to discuss is our and missy legal analyst. we have a host of the justice matters podcast. welcome you with a happy father's day. >> you too. >> glenn, were you surprised by these comments from president biden? >> he is pretty forward leaning but he is calling it the way not only he sees it but i think the way most americans see it. we seem to have a supreme court, at least a block of justices, who are not honest brokers of the law. i knew we would talk about the

supreme court. one thing i want to remind myself of from the washington post reporting back in october. because it feels like a bad dream. if we don't refresh ourselves about what the supreme court has done. clarence thomas accepted a recreational vehicle to the tune of a quarter million dollars. and then had his loan forgiven. i love when my car loans get forgiven. i don't know about you all. but these are supreme court justices who feel unconstrained. they won't even put a mandatory code of ethics on themselves. how is that acceptable in our system of government that they can be completely unconstrained by ethics? i think we all recognize what is at stake here in a second trump administration if that comes to pass. >> this part for me, is really interesting because i have been saying for years, when i was

running the national party and as a county and state chairman, why democrats never focused on the one thing that republicans taught the most about. you go back and you look at every political cycle. what was the one thing we framed arguments around with the supreme court. last night at this event, president joe biden -- president obama got it and laid it out. if you can take a quick listen. >> what we are seeing now is a byproduct of, in 2016, there were a bunch of folks that, for whatever reason set out. saying, we are not enthusiastic enough. we are not feeling inspired enough. why bother? hopefully, we learned our lesson because these elections matter in very concrete ways and we are now seeing how much it matters when it comes to the

supreme court. >> and in one of those concrete ways, it is, who gets to sit on the bench? and what you don't recognize that in the political context and you just want to have the broad discussion about abortion and gun rights, that is great. have the discussion. meanwhile, republicans organized on the ground around taking back the court and the way we would do that would be who we needed in the presidency, et cetera. do you think that lesson has been learned as you are looking at the election and the supreme court has now moved up further in the eye of importance for voters out there than ever before? >> i don't know. i would like to think so. >> i appreciate the honesty. >> how often do we fail to learn the lessons of history? people will say, gas prices and the economy. all of which are important to all of us. i feel like it boils down to this coming election.

you could take the names off the ballot. just have two boxes on the ballot. democracy and dictatorship. what will you check? and i think the supreme court piece factors into that. right now, the court seems to be captured. you look at thomas and samuel alito about to sit in judgment on probably the most important january 6 case, whether donald trump should be the supreme leader or dictator above the law and have absolute immunity. those two men are conflicted. don't take my word for it. look at the federal law that says that if a judge or justice, especially in federal law, if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned, the law requires them to disqualify themselves. are they going to show? no. >> let's underscore that by saying that you have the former president issuing a call to the supreme court to weigh in on

sentencing around secretary mayorkas. >> i don't see a legal path for donald trump's sentence that will be handed down in new york by a state court judge on july 11. i don't see a legal path for that to get the sentencing piece to the supreme court. but are they honest brokers of the law? or will they find a reason and a way to intervene by maybe contorting the language of the constitution? and will think they will weigh in on donald trump's sentence and that is a big topic of what judge juan merchan is likely to do july 11th. but let's hope they don't feel like they want to interfere in that state court matter. >> we talk a lot about judge juan merchan and aileen cannon and the fifth circuit has set all these things up to the supreme court. and the supreme court is even like, come on now. they have their hands folded like come on. judges matter.

and perhaps the american people do not realize the work that is not just two supreme court justices but that congress get together, the senate did and they approved additional judgeships this past week. and those are vacancies that may be joe biden will be able to fill. he has already filled 230 federal judgeships. those are appointments for life. but they are more. the next president will have to fill that. and those are people that will hear these different cases. that i think is concerning to me for a number of reasons. mainly because the retribution that republicans are promising. it is one thing if you have elected officials willing to do the bidding and you have folks seemingly on the supreme court willing to do the bidding and you have people like judge aileen cannon. there could be more of her out there and prosecutors. >> there are more aileen cannons. >> there are more prosecutors willing to do this bidding. you had steve bannon yesterday at this turning point

conference promising retribution and accountability. take a listen, folks. >> we are coming after lisa monaco, merrick garland, the senior members of doj that have prosecuted president trump. jack smith. this is not about vengeance. it is not about revenge or retribution. it is about saving this republic. we are going to use the constitution and the rule of law to go after you and hold you accountable. november 5th is judgment day. january 20th, 2025 is accountability day. >> we were sitting here talking . >> he is going to jail in a few weeks. >> they are being very specific about what they will use. steve bannon talked about using the 14th amendment to prosecute and other laws to prosecute alvin bragg for example. >> you and i picked up on the

same thing which is they are becoming increasingly specific about how they will do it and they are becoming increasingly specific about who they are going after. the fact that he is, by name, referencing lisa monaco, it tells you it is not some vague plan but actually something they are beginning to plot out. >> deputy attorney general. >> i interviewed lisa monaco when she became a federal prosecutor three blocks up from where we are sitting now. the attorney's office where i spent decades. i know lisa monaco. she is a good, fair, honest and career federal employee who has been doing the hard work of the american people and i can quibble with some of the decisions that she and attorney general merrick garland have made and not moving quickly enough. let's set that aside. can i offer one concrete example of what the trump administration did to retaliate against federal prosecutors when they didn't like what they were doing? when i was still a fed, my last of 10 u.s. attorneys i worked

for was jessie lou. terrific, strong, independent united states attorney for the district of columbia. donald trump wanted mccabe prosecuted. so andrew mccabe, an investigation was referred to my old office after i left and they investigated him and guess what, no evidence of crime suggesting jessie lou did not approve an indictment for andy mccabe. what did they do? they ran her out on a rail. even though she had performed admirably as the d.c. u.s. attorney. they promised her a job over a treasury. when she left, they yanked the job. they yank everything out from underneath her. i think we will look back and say, that was a quaint way to deal with somebody that donald trump didn't like. we have not seen anything yet. >> i think that is an important piece here. to your point, alicia, about

expressly stating what it is they are going to do, folks, you need to understand why they're doing it because of two things. one, they don't think you can stop them and two, they don't think you care. and that will be enough to fuel this disintegration of our judiciary and the federal system to the point where it is unrecognizable and will look more like trump. >> please stick around. we are less than a week away from hearing that could decide the fate of donald trump's classified documents. anybody remember that? hello, i am paging aileen cannon. this is the weekend, folks. that's caaaaaaaaash. cashback like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?

as donald trump awaits his sentencing in new york, the legal team is shifting their attention to the federal documents case in florida. paging aileen cannon, this coming friday, judge cannon is set to hear a motion from trump's attorneys to dismiss the indictment entirely arguing special counsel jack smith was

illegally appointed. this comes days after trump's team urged judge aileen cannon to reject special counsel's request for a gag order in the case. why is she hearing this? >> she seems to be inclined to hear every frivolous motion donald trump's lawyers follow. she is like a beaver building a logjam, a dam with all these motions. one way you can guarantee never being able to set a trial date is if you always have more motions to resolve before you can get there. that seems to be one of the reasons. we know donald trump's legal team, look at what he did in new york. bogus motion after bogus motion. we could call them all hail mary passes. none of them were caught. not by a trial court judge or by the appellate court judges in new york. he went to trial and got convicted in a new york minute on the evidence. i'm afraid judge aileen cannon is standing uncovered in the end zone waiting to catch donald trump's hail mary pass

and may be dismissed the case. and here is what drives me to distraction. we have talked about a motion to recuse before. if she dismisses this case, in a way that deprives jack smith of being able to appeal the dismissal, and there are ways to do that when the case moves into trial, we will be looking back saying, why in the world wasn't there a recusal motion that was litigated in the full light of day and let the 11th circuit rule one way or another and then i think i would be more willing to live with the result. >> for me, that is the key piece. for the life of me, i do not understand, based on the evidence, not the evidence of law in fact brought by the prosecution, but the evidence of the judge yourself. the way she has managed the case. it is very obvious to anyone paying attention that this goes beyond, will she is new and she has never done this and this

case is too big for her. all that might be true but after ruling after ruling and holding up the process the way she has, this deep-rooted since from the at least that there is more going on here that should have been looked at by the 11th circuit and the way she is managing it. >> and there is one really important data point that confirms what you are saying, michael. when she proposed to the lawless jury instructions on what the pra means and everybody said, that is not what it means, this is what she said. usually judge would say, i would like your input on whether or not these are appropriate jury instructions. that is not what she said. she said i want you to assume these are correct formulations of the law and engage and argue accordingly. but they were not correct formulations of the law. that is a tell that she is not just incompetent but she is trying to box them into something that is just dead wrong. >> i want to talk about the

gag order that we are hearing about from trump's lawyers. that smith's request should be denied on the basis of the ambiguities, lack of enforcement criteria and the resulting chilling fact. thoughts on that argument? >> they said something like this is a totalitarian attempt to chilling core political speech. no, it is actually about trying to protect the lives of fbi agents. that is what it is about. when i read jack smith head filing and we all learned that the prosecutors and the fbi agents had coordinated with donald trump's lawyers before the executed the search warrant at mar-a-lago? why? to make sure trump and his family members would be in the state of florida at the time with that knowledge, went to donald trump. the fbi was looking to come down to assassinate me. they were locked and loaded and ready to go and they were going to harm my family. it is such a boldfaced lie designed to incite violence against fbi agents that, yes,

i'm glad jack smith is pushing this motion. >> but it doesn't go anywhere. what is happening? >> is a going to go anywhere? the answer is no. as i say, uncovered in the end zone catching donald trump's hail mary passes and spiking trump's football left and right and i don't know when we will get the trial. >> this is limited with my sports knowledge and legal knowledge what you are saying here. but i think the expression we are getting is, how could that be so? on the bigger legal maneuvers, as you have said, there is a pattern. and a question of the gag order. it is unmistakable. his own pattern of behavior that has led to the necessity of multiple gag orders. we don't need to imagine in the theoretical what happens if he is not under one of those gag orders. we have very real-world examples of how he behaves with those gag orders placed and

without. >> and alicia, thus far, the machinery of government, prosecutors and judges alike, have been willing to sacrifice the safety of everybody. witnesses, jurors, judges, prosecutors and family members to donald trump's violence inducing behavior. it is a question i asked myself every day. why are the institutions of government stepping up and addressing the threat to the security and the safety? >> they still view him through the lens as a former president of the united states and not as a felon. not as someone who is a criminal defendant, who is standing before the system on trial for a whole lot of a mess and as long as you continue to look at him that way, this works to his advantage. he bends the system to work against itself in that regard because that is why the gag

order process has largely been a joke. it has been an absolute joke. everyone at the table knows if anybody else in the situation was spewing the crap that comes out of this man's mouth, to this day, that every judge in this country would put their behind in jail to chill. >> there would be no gag order. there would be a jail order. but the system continues to bend. to your point, in a way that is unnatural for it. that is the problem i think longer term. >> yes. the system just continues to view this. like yes he is a felon. i'm concerned. i know some formerly convicted felons. and i don't think that donald trump should be able to run for president and not just because he is a felon.

a different point entirely. the system has not met the moment. and if they do not meet the moment, what does that mean for the next five, 10, 20, 30 years in this country? >> i have seen plenty of convicted felons work toward rehabilitation. the first up on the road to rehabilitation is acceptance and responsibility for what you have done wrong. when do we see donald trump on the first step? >> that is a rhetorical question, my friend. glenn kershner, thank you for being with us. next, house republicans have a lot of priorities. but helping you does not seem to be one of them. for jenna congressman jerry connolly joins us at the table to discuss. you are watching "the weekend" ng problems on my porch. now i understand why. right now leaffilter is offering a free inspection,

showed us their priorities, protecting donald trump and throwing red meat to their base. the house narrowly passed a defense bill loaded with unrelated culture war issues targeting abortion access, treatment for trans troops and efforts to combat climate change. only three republicans voted against all that nonsense. it has absolutely no chance of passing the u.s. senate for joining us now, democratic congressman jerry connolly of virginia. if only the nation's defense were not of the most utmost importance. >> it is really sad that the republican majority has decided to use the annual defense authorization bill as sort of a vehicle for their favorite causes, knowing cynically, that as you indicated, it is not going to pass the firewall of the senate and won't be signed into law by president biden. but that has not stopped them. and it is a sad day.

in the past, we had strong bipartisan coalitions to protect the national security and national defense and not use it as some kind of punching bag. >> but everything is a punching bag with this republican crew in the house and the senate. in fact, the countermeasure to this effort to force democrats, it has been republicans bowing to slow business down in the senate with respect to the presidential nominations. symone mentioned in the earlier segment the expansion, the addition of 60 plus new judicial -- 65 i believe, new appointments that can be made by this president. how do senate and house republican democrats sort of parry thrust if you will these efforts by republicans to come after issues like abortion through the defense act, to

come at the administration by slowing up its appointment power capabilities? what is the countermeasure that you see going into the selection that signals to your base that you work in this fight and you are standing your ground and you are not just saying words pushing the point but you are using the tools available to you, more so in the senate than the house admittedly to make it clear to the american people what you are up against? >> i think democrats have to be willing to be as tough as republicans. >> they go low and you go toe to toe. >> it would be nice to go high but we will put that out for a little while. the stakes are too high. you showed a picture of judge aileen cannon before. that is what goes wrong when you put maga republicans on a bench with no experience. she is willing to protect trump

for partisan political purpose. we need to do what mitch mcconnell did. ignoring every past statement and just using raw power to make sure his president's appointments got confirmed. we need to do the same. >> i want to make sure we talk about this bilateral security agreement that president biden and volodymyr zelenskyy signed. i think what is important to understand is just how fragile the agreement is. that there is an understanding that so long as president biden is president, the commitment stays in place. we have a presidential election looming in november. we are always talking about the consequences in the states and an agreement like this hangs in the balance. and with it, the global order. >> i think it is important to remember that when we voted on the ukraine aid package last month, it passed with 311 votes. that is a pretty strong

bipartisan vote in the house. and so a future president has to take cognizance of that. that there is strong bipartisan support. i work with the chairman of the intelligence committee. mike mccall, chairman of the foreign affairs committee. 100% in. mike rogers, armed services, 100% in. and that particular area, we have a strong base of support for this agreement and possible future agreements. we are going to see ukraine through until it prevails. >> is there any other funding request that you think is looming between now and november that may need to get addressed? the administration just this week announced the vice president or the, the announcement of the package that will deal with humanitarian issues for

ukrainians. do you see anything else coming down the horizon for funding that may cause a little bellyaching in the house? >> you know, frankly, there is not a lot left in the republican agenda, not that there has been much to begin with. this is the most unproductive congress in 60 years. we will be dealing with essentials. a farm bill. republicans insist on votes on these appropriations bills but it is mostly a feel-good process for them to get their base. it is not a serious effort at funding the government. sooner or later, we have to face funding the government in the fall to get us through either the election or into next year. but short of that, barring some kind of unforeseen situation or emergency, i don't see a lot of productive legislation that we will be addressing. >> we talked at the top of the show last hour about the secretary-general and the

meeting he will have with president biden. he is meeting with a lot of different folks. secretary antony blinken and going to canada and ottawa. he is meeting with you and the congressman who is chair of intelligence. do you ever going to these meetings feeling slightly embarrassed by the united states of america? >> yes. there was certainly a five- month period in which i felt embarrassed. democrats gave speaker mike johnson a lot of credit on bringing up the ukraine vote. >> too much. >> we lost five months and ukrainians died and territory was lost during that period. no excuse for it. we had the same 311 votes five months ago that we had. and it was did the ring because a new speaker did not know how to put together the coalition or allow a free vote on the floor that had an overwhelming bipartisan support. >> we talked about this with

the secretary on the show a couple weeks ago. after the funding package past town we asked if he thought it was too late for ukraine. and he was quite diplomatic as it can imagine. but essentially said that the egg did come late and ukraine lost ground. there are less than four months until people start voting in the country. you represented a certain virginia that i think people are little more tuned in across the country particularly on issues of national security and ukraine and what is happening in the work between israel and hamas. you are also traveling the country. are you concerned that the american people are not grasping the gravity of this election and what it means for the world and not just here at home? >> i do. and i think those people vote their interests. so what is in it for me? i don't like inflation. and we have to remind them, i

love the question, are you better off today than you were four years ago? four years ago, we were rationing and hoarding toilet paper. remember that? and we had shortages everywhere. the economy was tanking. here we are four years later in the ideal economy leading the world. breaking records in the stock market with unemployment and job creation and we have kind of forgotten what it was like four years ago. a lot got done and we have to be not only taking credit for that but we have to be bringing that narrative to people and reminding them what it was like and how far we have come. and that is a huge accomplishment. >> especially because we keep hearing about voters having trump and asia. >> an enormous amount of trump amnesia. we have talked about why americans still give more credit to donald trump on the economy than joe biden.

as you mentioned, four years ago, rationing toilet paper and watching family members die from covid because the president was ill-equipped both mentally as well as with the federal government apparatus to do something about it. and the only thing that got done and those four years was a tax cut for 90% of the american people that did not benefit. so how do you reconcile that congressman with people looking at the administration and the accomplishments not just on the economy but on the infrastructure and globally, that they give more credit to the guy who wants to be a dictator? >> democrats tend to appeal to the recent cerebral he. and many live the culmination of that and my gut. and we can't be ashamed about self interest for we have a lot

to talk about. we have not persuaded them of that. and i think also, we don't get it that you have to repeat rents, repeat. i told you six months ago about that symone. why didn't that register? >> we have to get a lot better at boringly repeating messages until they penetrate and sink in. >> and that is what they have done and that is why they continue to get the economy. and the ham sandwich could be on the ballot. and they could say the ham sandwich is good for the economy. >> there might be a lot of baloney but it is still a ham sandwich. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me and happy father's day. president biden is expected to announce new protections for some undocumented immigrants. congresswoman delia ramirez joins us next. you are watching "the weekend."

president biden is excited to announce new executive action tuesday aimed at protecting certain undocumented immigrants from deportation. sources familiar with the plans tell nbc news that the action would protect undocumented spouses of citizens from deportation and allow them to work legally in the country. and this comes as biden faces the first lawsuit over a different executive action he announced last week that would tighten the silent restrictions at the border. we have congresswoman delia ramirez. >> looking forward to tuesday, i know so many families that will benefit from this action. i'm sure you represent so many families that will benefit from this action. talk us through what it is going to look like, to have this administration and keep american families together.

>> thank you for having me. i know families and a member of congress married to a daca recipient. this announcement is what many of us have been anxiously waiting for. i come home every week. my husband and i are in the adjustment status. we were married four years ago. a long and extended difficult process. he still has not had an adjustment. we are working the different legal things that need to be reviewed before he can have an adjustment. there are so many families right now at the brink and worried every single year that, we have the anniversary of daca and at any point, that can be taken away from them. the idea that spouses of citizens can be able to come out of the shadows, some of them have been here for 20-30 years. families can stay together. it is the biggest relief in

their lifetime. we are all excited and anxiously waiting for details of it. the reality is that it is also going to be good for the economy. think about it. daca recipients for example, contribute more than $2 billion a year just to medicare and social security. the idea that more spouses, regardless of the status of the daca or not but if they are married to u.s. citizens or able to come out of the shadows and able to get the work permits and be protected, they will be able to also go into the text world and contribute even more toward taxes. thinking about it, to me, it is a win-win i have said this to the president. we have been talking about immigration reform for over 30 years. you got to choose what kind of president you want to be. a president that keeps families together or a president that further divides them. on tuesday, our president will courageously take on action that the congress has not taken and that is to begin the process of keeping many

families together. >> congresswoman, it might shock folks that this actually needed to be done. there are so many people, myself included, that was reading about this when the announcement first came. and i was like wait, i have friends that were undocumented but had green cards and married people years ago to become u.s. citizens. that is not something that is currently afforded to undocumented individuals who are married to american citizens now. this executive action is crucial and critical and i don't know if folks around the country who are not directly dealing with us every day understand that. >> know, to your point, i think people assume that you marry a u.s. citizen and within weeks or months, there will be notice and the status will change. that is not the case. first of all, if you marry a u.s. citizen, you came in on the visa and overstate your visa and passed the biggest eligibility test. you begin the process and it

takes years for some. but if you came in the way my mother came in or the way some came in. folks that came in, many of them have bars. and it doesn't matter that you are married to a u.s. citizen you won't even get a green card. you are so undocumented that you don't even get benefits. i have a cousin who is married to a u.s. citizen for 20 years and says, i don't understand. i don't understand what i have to do or how many lawyers have to lie to me and we are still in this place and it has been almost 20 years. the reality is that, there is no automatic trigger that you marry a u.s. citizen and you become a green card holder and then a year later, a citizen. there are more than 300,000. we are estimating closer to 800,000 noncitizens married to

u.s. citizen spouses who could potentially get relief through this executive action. this makes sense. families should not be separated. and frankly, symone, what better surrogate to the president than someone who says, president biden did what no one else did and what congress wouldn't do. he made sure that my husband is able to stay with me. you made sure my wife no longer is in the shadows. this is someone i want to vote for. this is someone that deserves another four years. >> congresswoman, you speak of a very important reality for a lot of families out there. but there is another reality that is playing alongside that that is all consuming as well. that is the incredible amount of lies, distortions and fabrications about immigrants, migrants, daca individuals in this country. i would like for you to take a quick listen and i don't want to spoil people's father's day

with this but it is important to put it in the conversation so we understand exactly what this man who wants to be the next president is saying about the immigrant population when he talks about the millions of illegals pouring into the country. let's take a listen. >> millions of illegal aliens are pouring in and taking jobs. the black community is being hurt more by the illegal aliens, 16, 17 million. they are taking your jobs. >> let me be clear for everyone. they are not taking your jobs. and stop the lies pinning blacks and hispanics against each other for your political advantage mr. trump. i give you that gift on this father's day. but the reality is very clear, congresswoman. what is being stoked as well about immigrants coming to this country and what this moment could mean if it is not told right, that this is another

moment that the biden administration is favoring someone other than americans. how do you respond to that? >> every time i hear him, i just want to vomit. it is not the right word to explain what he says and what he does. the reality is that we have labor shortages. and editing given time throughout the country, we have more than 8 million job openings we can't fill i have colleagues of mine and homeland security that have said to me, congresswoman, i know we cannot talk about it in committee but we have a lot of manufacturing jobs at home that we can't fill. why can't they stay here and get a work permit? i look at my colleague and i say to him, why can't you vote on that and don't know well your orange cheeses to continue to influence you. the reality is that they are not taking jobs.

what donald trump and white supremacists do is attempt to pit against each other pick you have latino amazement -- asian poor people creating that fear and you and i both know we have more jobs than workers. we have the lowest unemployment rate and, by the way, we talk about the budget and how we need more revenue. why not give extended work permits. think about the fact that if we were able to extend work permits to thousands of people like my uncle who have been here for over 30 years, his wife is still not a u.s. citizen. they are paying that kind of taxes that would give local economies, the state government and the federal government the revenue we need so that colleagues of mine in mississippi and alabama, georgia and marjorie taylor greene -- and they can get them medicare they deserve because more revenue is coming our way. >> we appreciate that very much.
