peter: that was thomas payne impersonator ian ruskin talking about thomas payne's writing style. back to calls. robert in connecticut. good evening. caller: good evening thank you for c-span. you ought to mention there was a one and a half percent rate of tax, what was that assessed on? property. income. what was the tax rate 10 years earlier? and what was the tax rate of other jurisdictions of the british? thank you. peter: richard any answer for the echo richard: just a quick one at the outset historians continue to debate and refine with the rates of taxation were for any colonial jurisdiction and how they changed over time. so i don't think there is actually an agreed-upon consensus rate that every historian would sign off on. at this point. what i can tell you is that taxation via the stamp act was on the commercial use of paper in the american and caribbean and canadian colonies. so think of all of the stuff we buy that is made of paper. folks back then used by a lot of the stuff made out of paper, newspapers, prices went up. we could be talking about a pack of playing card

i think the reason why they need to subpoena justice thomas is because, if justice thomas -- or if thisugh the court, if an investigation like this goes through the court, and then justice thomas or other justices sit and hear that case, and provide the same kind of immunity that this court has provided to donald trump, i think it will display for the public just how much this justice and this court thinking that it's above the law. you know, they may lose in court, but you have to take that legal fight to the court, because their behavior -- justice thomas' behavior and chief justice roberts' continued acquiescence to justice thomas is beyond the pale. >> would you support a criminal investigation of justice thomas and justice alito? >> our complaint has asked for the fbi and department of justice to conduct a criminal investigation. certainly i wouldn't prejudge what they find during the course of that investigation, but if there are -- if there is an intention to hide information that has to be disclosed by law, then certainly there are crimes that should be charged. >> at minimum, c

here we have justice thomas and jenny thomas with harlan crow and indonesia. another cute picture of them and indonesia. look, here's jenny thomas at a trump rally. as we all know it not only is she a maga supporter of donald trump and funded by the same organizations and a justice a project that has business before the court that her husband sits on, she helped plan the generate six insurrection. then come here we have justice alito on a fishing guided trip with paul another maga donor. here they are again that got some good fish in 2008. and of course as we have all seen in the last several weeks the flags that have been flying outside of justice alito's a beach house. right after january 6. and his own personal house aligned with of course the generate six movements. here's the entire cast of characters brought to you and funded by dark money and their candidates. and their appointees. i think it is fair to say we have not only a judicial crisis but an actual crisis in the very institutions underpin our democracy. that is really what we are talking about he

my basic role with clarence thomas is i am his friend. i have known him personally and i am his friend and i can certainly vouch for his integrity, for his character, for the kind of human being he is. host: are you friends with joe biden? guest: i served with joe biden for 18 years. i would not say i was his friend or his enemy. he was a member of the senate when i was a member of the senate. i was never on a committee with him. the closest i came to being around joe biden was during the time of the clarence thomas confirmation. i would not claim i was very close to joe. i do have opinions as to what kind of senator he was and what kind of president he is, but with regard to clarence thomas, that is a personal relationship. that is personal friendship based on deep knowledge of the human being. with joe he was a colleague in the senate. that is how i know him. host: you think he is too old to be president? what you make of these concerns? guest: i think like a lot of people, maybe it is 70% of the american people, this is a difficult ele

that is clarence thomas. the other justices all those little knobs. lance thomas has received an estimated $4 million in gifts much of which is to see between those two colors disclosed and undisclosed. maybe 40% was never disclosed. that's all we know so far. there may be more undisclosed. two senators who have them probing his gifts are asking merrick garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate writing we do not make this slightly. evidence assembled plainly suggest that justice thomas has committed willful violations of federal ethics and false statement laws and raises the vacant questions about whether he and his wealthy benefactors have complied with their federal tax obligations. presented with opportunities to resolve questions about his kaunda, justice thomas has maintained a suspicious silence. one of the senators is sheldon whitehouse of rhode island, he joins me now. sent a, what got you to this point? you have been concerned with the obvious and apparent ethical lapses of this justice for a while. what brought you to this moment?

thomas crooks. he'd graduated from high school two years ago, said to be good at maths. in this classroom video. now the eyes of the international media on the family home where thomas cross cs lived. the fbi say they are investigating this as potential domestic terrorism. kelly was one of many neighbours evacuated as police dealt with a suspicious device at thomas crooks' address. we were overrun with law enforcement agents from literally everywhere and your neighbour, what was he like? he would just avidly walk the neighbourhood, and always had on, like, beats—style headphones, and kind of seems like your average american dorky young man. atjust 20 years old, this would have been the first presidential election that thomas crooks was old enough to vote in, and there are many unanswered questions as to why he left this quiet neighbourhood and came inches away from killing donald trump. what we do know is that thomas crooks was a member of this gun club, which has condemned what it called the senseless violence. how typical is it for people to own guns in this area? yeah

justice thomas wrote about this issue in the immunity case. attorneys general have filed a court brief on this issue pointing out and explaining why the appointment was unconstitutional. >> bill: thank you, andy, stand by. >> dana: jonathan, you tweeted this was the three-point shot for trump. the easier basket was the d.c. case despite a far more favorable judge for jack smith. tell us more. >> this is a seismic decision because the immunity decision that was issued by the supreme court was the second of a 1-two punch for jack smith. previously the court had reversed an obstruction charge that impacted trump as well. so those two cases have ripped the wings off his case. they were all looking to see how jack smith would handle it in d.c. he has a very motivated and favorable judge. she has been an ideal choice for jack smith. the assumption was that she would do her level best to keep that case going even after these hits. few people expected the florida case to be the one that disassembled first. what judge cannon is saying here is essential

justice thomas wrote about concerns with that.he majority is there concerns are with the dangers of permitting former presidents to be prosecuted. that was the real big clash, that the court majority was about the precedent of allowing presidents to prosecute predecessors. the dissenters were concerned about not constraining the presidents and them being above the law. although there were lots of arguments that were underwriting the opinions, i think those two issues represented the fundamental clash between the nine justices today. >> is there clarity on that now? >> i think there is some clarity in that we know that presidents are not entirely immune and yet they still enjoy some immunity. that was a question that hadn't been answered before today. what remains unclear is precisely how you apply this standard to the facts of donald trump's case or a future case. that is where the rubber is going to hit the road and that will be the real acid test of this standard, when the trial judge gets this case back, she will have to do a l

well, thomas jefferson. thomas jefferson is a man who has a background that similarities to washington. he's 11 years younger, not that much difference in age, but he's not military. thomas jefferson's, he had a father that was a robber man who was also a surveyor for lord fairfax and established the fairfax stone, which i visited at the western extremity of maryland and west virginia, served saying the western edge of large fairfax property, peter jefferson there's a map that peter jefferson and joshua fry make in 1751 that washington uses when he's going there. bounds so he was kind of a burly outdoors guy. he dies when thomas jefferson is 14 and basically thomas jefferson is a rich at age 14, washing up to son of a second marriage, totally different multiple brothers doesn't inherit much money, inherits three slaves. jefferson inherits a hundred and and his father is the mapmaker, not him. and the father was the father was the map maker. jefferson establishes environments and you can see the final ones th

hold that for thomas. you've raised 2 really important points which we do want to talk about what the latest polls might in the case and who are running might might be for a couple of hours. but before we go, the, i want to ask eric, looking at as well how the republicans have tried to focus on issues. does it look so far? they don't a sofa focus so much on the policy issue. history of campbell, a house as much as they have focused on trying to tie camelot harris the some of the policy issues which was seen as weak points for joe biden. we're talking about, you know, inflation bullet is immigration. yeah, that's right. but i think what we're seeing here is just the republican party that simply hasn't found it's putting on how to actually come back this new candidate. this is a party that is now struggling. and now they're just throwing a lot of things up the wall to see what sticks. but i do believe their issue. republicans have primarily focused on the issue of the border and immigration. and so i think t

not going to move articles of impeachment against clarence thomas and samuel alito. still i thought this was a pretty big deal today because i've never seen congressional democrats go at the court and the conservative members of the court in quite this way. >> i fully agree. i think that in a sense, this is long overdue because what democrats have served up for a year now is an action on the corruption scandals that have rocked the supreme court. some angry letters, some public appearances. but this is a leap forward in terms of seeking accountability that i think what aoc is trying to remind us here is that federal judges serve for life with good behavior and that congress is well within its rights to decide that a judge or justice has failed to live up to that standard of good behavior and that when it does, congress is really left with no choice but to begin impeachment. we have heard for now more than a year from republican, will congress can't pose rules. congress can't him pose an enforceable code of judicial conduct. well if that is true, and i'm not conceding

>> david: pierre thomas here in milwaukee with us.pierre, thank you. >>> tonight, we've also learned that fbi investigators have now searched the gunman's phone and his social media, but his motive is still unknown. sources now say he bought dozens of rounds of ammunition leading up to the attack online and at a local gun store, and that he used his father's ar-style rifle, and what he told his father that day. here's our senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky in pennsylvania tonight. >> look at what happened -- >> reporter: tonight, the fbi is poring over hundreds of tips, including photos and videos -- >> he's got a gun! >> reporter: -- racing to put together a profile of would-be assassin thomas crooks. sources confirming to abc news crooks bought dozens of rounds of ammunition from an online source and a local gun store, in the days and weeks before the attack. and on the day of the rally, sources say crooks, who had a membership at a local gun club, told his father he wanted to go to the shooting range. and that's when

articles of impeachment for supreme court justices alito and thomas, when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. in the continuing freak out over joe biden's campaign for reelection, there is one pretty important fact that gets missed almost entirely and i have been thinking about it a lot. the president has done nothing wrong. you would not know that from a lot of the coverage. part of what has been weird and difficult about this new cycle day in and day out is that biden's political future is being covered like a scandal and we have seen plenty of presidential scandals in recent years. we have seen a president get impeached twice in one term for behavior beyond any standard of decency or sanity including trying to end the republic. we have seen a civil jury conclude the ex-president also sexually assaulted a woman and defamed her. we've seen the former president indicted for election interference, convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. just to be clear again, joe biden has done nothing like that. as president he has reached o

thomas crooks.ot dead by secret service agents, but his motive for the attempted assassination, is unclear. so what do we know about the gunman? here's emma va rdy. what was in the mind of this young man is still unknown. thomas crooks. he'd graduated from high school two years ago, said to be good at maths, and later worked as an assistant at a nursing home. now the eyes of the international media are on the house where thomas crooks lived. hi, handsome! kelly was one of a number of neighbours evacuated as police investigated a suspicious device at his home. we were overrun with law enforcement agents from literally everywhere and given no explanation. and your neighbour, what was he like? he would just avidly walk the neighbourhood, um, and always had on like beats style headphones and kind of seems like your average american dorky young man. atjust 20 years old, this would have been the first presidential election that thomas crooks was old enough to vote in, and there are still many unanswered q

senator sheldon whitehouse on the case against clarence thomas. and the president addresses the nato commission in d.c. >> americans know we are strong with our friends. >> the incalculable stakes for november, when "all in" starts right now. good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. the frenzy that has followed the presidential debate continued in washington today. democrats were back. congress was back. democrats in congress holding high-stakes meetings about the path forward for joe biden's campaign. sources telling nbc news that behind closed doors the democratic caucus is concerned about the nominee. one lawmaker called the mood around biden shaky, adding that people fear he is declining or the age issue will overshadow everything. for his part the president made a strong appearance today, opening the nato summit in washington, d.c., which will be taking place all week, giving a speech to the gathered allies in the crowd. that came as house democrats remain mostly unified in their support of president biden. even congressman jerry nadler

his campaign rally in butler, pennsylvania in the shooter come up of male from the park pennsylvania, thomas matthew crooks heard mr. trump seems that the former president was shot in the upper part of his ear, then he is, fine and hello everyone this is continuing coverage but the fbi calls an attempted assassination of the 45th president, our north help hello eric. >> think you for joining us and secret service did shooting to the government, 20 -year-old thomas matthew crooks and for the park pennsylvania authority say several people attending the rally also shot and one person was killed. >> we confirm from you that we do have one individual killed, and i know that i heard the two of their were three in total besides the former president, so to critically were hundred and one was killed. >> we have reaction coming in from the president of france it, emmanuel micron tweeting my thoughts are with president donald trump and that victim of an assassination attempt and i sit him my wishes for a speedy recovery and spectator has died in several art injured and it is a tragedy for our democracy

oh, i think we've got 60 seconds thomas, a final full. it's been said, this is the honeymoon period. what does it matter is look like then when the honeymoon is over? if during the honeymoon already singing model, each of those characters i would certainly agree that this is going to be a vicious camp and this is the way the trump is always kind of pain. it's because his base is galvanized by it and i don't think that we should expect anything different. you know, the fact that there were some speculations about, you know, maybe trump turning over or under waste after the assassination attempt. i think we saw the republican national convention and that that's not going to be the case. so there's going to be a lot of them. i mean, between both of these candidates. so kate pill, what proof suits on as we follow this campaign, i think is the advice that stein con guests been a great show. thomas gift eric, ham, and jennifer, victor, i'm fine q 2 for watching. you can see the show again, any time by visiting our website out, is there a dot co

we thomas, let me quote to another poll. reuters itself, paul, completed on tuesday. that one was when it showed harris actually leading donald trump by 2 percentage points. whereas the s s r s paul, which i mentioned earlier. well, that shows the opposite from leading harris by 3 percentage points. now, the picture obviously not entirely clear that both in the margin of error, but is it in a sense, slightly better than use for capital harris compared to the sort of policy he's been hearing for by than before, which were mostly or quite frequently putting him behind donald trump as well, a few points here. one is that these national polls can be somewhat concealing of what the numbers look like in g swing states. and ultimately it's in key swing states where the selection is going to be decided. the 2nd point is that common areas are still very much in her honeymoon period. right. and now she just announced, or she just became a nominee. there's a lot of excitement, a lot of enthusiasm. i think there sort of turns out demand within the democratic party about having a
