8:00 pm
mocking -- now maybe thinks it's funny, claiming, there ain't no money. let's talk about it now with maria campo, kirsten powers and david urban. i gotta tell you, the mere mention of his name and what has happened at sandy hook, you get the most visceral reaction from people collectively. because it's just so disturbing, and yet, listen to this for a moment. here's what he said after that jury awarded came down. it wasn't like he took it seriously. listen to this. >> 57 million, 20 million, 50 million, 80 million, 100 million. you get 1 million. you get 100 million. you get 50 million. do these people actually think they're getting any money? i can keep him in court for years, i can appeal the stuff, we can stand up against this travesty against the billions of dollars they want. >> so, who is that they? it sounds like he was on trial, but he's trying to appeal to the us against the families? you're shaking your head. >> look, the guys mendacious,
8:01 pm
despicable. think of a bad adjective to describe a human being, these are five and six-year-old kids that got murdered in cold blood. this guy is mocking them. one of the parents goes on television and weeps and gives an interview, alex jones goes on and says he's an actor. he makes one of the guy. there's no low if somebody goes out and does this. it tries and says they're coming for your guns. this false flag coming for the u.s. government. it's despicable. there's no other word. this guy should be put out of business, full stop. >> why is he still in business? one thing i think about with alex jones is the fact that someone can go after him for that award of damages means that there was deep pockets to go into, number one. but is this a deterrent? is this going to stop the idea of trafficking? and really capitalizing on the lives that have been told? >> laura, he is raising money off of this right now, as we speak to sit here. he is doing an emergency live
8:02 pm
broadcast to save infowars. that's what he's been doing since the beginning. he's been using this to continue to stoke these flames. he is not taking this process seriously in any way. the families have begged him and begged him and he doubled down and doubled down and doubled down. he refused to cooperate, released documents he was held in contempt of court. so, when you think about what these families have been through because of him, the fact that they weren't able to grieve in peace, that some of them had to move multiple times to escape death threats and harassment, they were shot at, one father committed suicide because he could not bear what he was going through. and this man continues to this very moment to double down on this. this is a disgusting human being. >> listen to one of the parents who is very emotional about this very issue. just it's emotional to here, here it is. >> the payout for me was being able to take emily story back. being able to take, throughout
8:03 pm
all of this mess, remind people about who she was, and what she meant to me in her mom and her sisters. and for me personally, getting my own story story back. for me, the payoff was alex jones use the statement i gave years ago as a way to torture me into profit from it. and he was forced to sit in a courtroom and listen to every word that i had to say that night. and i hadn't done that since that night, and i almost forgot what it was that i shared. into listen to the. >> kirsten? when you hear that, what goes through your mind? >> i just can't understand what makes alex jones be alex jones. right? you look at him and think, what kind of person would inflict this kind of pain. you would not inflict on someone you hated. you wouldn't even do this to the worst enemy, and here he does it to this part to these people who have had one of the worst things that could ever
8:04 pm
happen to you in your life happen. and then just, you know, poured gasoline on the fire and keep growing and growing and get worse and worse for them. this is just a person that i can't begin to understand. and then to act like an aggrieved party when you're held accountable and say they're never gonna get the money. >> taunting. >> yeah, taunting people. it's sadistic. he just loves to make them suffer even more than they've suffered. and it helps him make money. that's the thing, he actually has enriched himself off of pushing this. so, there's a benefit to him but he does seem to enjoy it. >> here's the -- list of this. >> money is all that alex jones cares about. and the only way to even begin to start to explain, i don't
8:05 pm
know. how he's made us feel. to hit him in the pocket. it's the only thing that's going to prevent him from doing this to other families, it's the only shot that we ever have is him stopping the hate and the lies in the conspiracy that he's thrown down on us for the last decade. money is all that matters to him and this was the only way to get a message across to him in, my opinion. >> david, take a step back for a second. we're talking about alex jones. but it's also what alex jones symbolizes, we're talking about the idea to capitalize and profit off of exploitation and lies. that you know to be false. that's the essence of a defamation suit. the idea here that we've seen this in politics to though, you've seen the idea of people being able to capitalize, whether it means it's currency to get an office, currency to
8:06 pm
raise money in some respect, or rubbing of the elbows. is this going to be a signal to others more broadly, who traffic in misinformation? >> look, i don't know. this is so bad. -- >> this is so different. >> because right, left, liberal, conservative. if you've got a kid, if you grew up with people. this hits differently right. this hits differently. this isn't about republicans or democrats, this is about right and wrong. what he did was wrong. but these people are looking for peace. they want to take this guy out because he should be able to do this to anybody else again. the sandy hook families, alex jones said they're coming for your guns. the sandy hook promise, the organization these people put together, when they started up, they had a principle, the kiss principle for guns. we're not gonna take a position where they should have guns or not, but if you have a gun, keep it locked up, keep it secure. keep it out of the kids hands that should have guns. they were not a right wing or left-wing organization coming
8:07 pm
to take your guns. >> but it was profitable to make it seem like they were. >> that's exactly correct. and so again, it's the entire theme here is just mendacious. that's where they got a look up in the dictionary but it really is like a very special word for a very special kind of evil here. >> you do also have to sit -- it's true that most republicans are saying what he is saying. marjorie taylor greene who is not a marginal person in the republican party, unfortunately, who was acting like alex jones's it has been victimized. so there's something bigger here than just alex jones. i think it does speak to something bigger. the only way to keep people from doing this is to take all his money, to run him out of business. i don't understand the legalities of how he's brought his business into bankruptcy to avoid. he has a home, he has a car. he has whatever -- can't they take away whatever he's had until he's paid a billion dollars? >> and then you take away the symbol? >> that's the problem.
8:08 pm
it speaks to the enduring power of these conspiracy theories. this may be an extreme case, i agree with you on that. but remember, he was forced to admit, in court, on the record, that this shooting did take place, was a hunter percent real, these parents were not crisis actors, those children existed, they lost their lives. and even after that admission he then went right back to doing what he was doing, and he has people who continue to send him money, so he can fly around in private jets. that, i think, is the alluring enduring legacy of infowars. >> i wish alex jones could sit down with these families so they could get to see him and he could feel their pain. >> the stakes thing about it, i think he knows, but the money was more enticing. that's what we're talking about. everyone stick around, there's more to talk about here tonight. i want to hear from you to, what do you think about alex jones? here's what reggie is telling us what alex jones did was spreading lies was so devastating that i do not think the jury could give an adequate dollar amount to prepare the damage caused, remember, mr.
8:09 pm
jones, words matter. anything else you want to say, tweet me at the laura coats, we'll be right back in just a moment, because they say they were racially profiled by police. i'll tell you who and what it's about in a moment. about in a moment. >> tech: at safelite, we take care of vehicles with the latest technology. we can replace your windshield ...and recalibrate your safety system. >> customer:r: and they recycld my old glass. >> tech: don't wait.t. schedule today. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

8:13 pm
two black comedians are alleging late racial profiling at atlanta's airport. they said that they were randomly stopped on different occasions. by police on the jet bridge, and also questioned about drugs. this all happened, not in privacy of some area, but in front of other passengers as if it made it better. eric andriy and clayton english
8:14 pm
are now suing clayton county georgia police, and the police, they're claiming, of course, again to the officer that their constitutional rights were violated. >> police officers came out of nowhere in like almost an ambush style and started singled me out, i was only person of color on the jet bridge at the time. all white people in front of me and behind me. they singled me out, they asked me if i was selling drugs, transporting drugs, had any drugs i have on me. and it was clearly racial profiling. >> i feel violated. i feel cornered, i felt like i couldn't, you know, continue to get on the plane. i held like if i had to comply if i wanted everything to go smoothly. >> eric andriy calls the experience humiliating and dehumanizing. he joins me here tonight along with his attorney, barry friedman. who is a law professor at nyu
8:15 pm
and founding director of the nyu policing project. i'm glad to see you here. we know you from a very different world. and to see this happen at the intersection of what i think of so many people experiencing. my father and my husband, i haven't been to the airport yet when they haven't been randomly selected for something. >> right. >> that's a joke people can tell, but it really happened. tell me why that was such an experience. >> it happened to me a whole bunch, racially profiled at the airport throughout my life. this was kind of the most egregious instance that i've lived through. i was coming home from a work trip, i was filling in on hbo show in charleston, south carolina. connecting in the airport to los angeles. and i went to the jet bridge, i went to the gate, give the gauge of my take, it went to the jet bridge and these two clayton county cops just came out of nowhere and started questioning me about my selling drugs, and i buying drugs, and i transporting drugs? i was the only person of color
8:16 pm
in front of me and behind me on this narrow -- >> were they in uniform? >> they were like plainclothed. i can't remember if they had badges on them, they were playing clothes. so the extra confusing. i had already been through tsa, so, is this another tsa screening? what is this? what do they want? and then i was like, this is stop-and-frisk. this is like, they're just singling out black and brown people and asking them if they have drugs in the hope they do have drugs. so that they can, i don't know, arrest them. but the whole experience was humiliating and embarrassing and dehumanizing. >> everyone around you is watching, what were their expressions? >> everyone's gawking at you. so elixir the bad guy. literally, just flying home from work trip. >> is that what you felt you had to answer the questions or stop. was there part of you that said i want to get on my flight. >> you're scared of those moments. it doesn't feel consensual at all. it feels like, cops are stopping me.
8:17 pm
there's must be something wrong. they think i'm doing something wrong. i have to prove, you feel guilty until proven innocent. so, yeah. it was traumatizing. as i was getting out of the situation i told a couple friends who are lawyers and they were like, you shouldn't put up with that. that's messed up. even when i landed in l.a. and got off the plane, there was a lawyer who is sitting near me, and business class and watch the whole thing go down, and she came up to me afterwards it, you should report that. that was not right with a did to you. so, i started tweeting about it. and my friend comedian clayton english reached out to me and said the same exact thing happened at the same airport, same thing happened to him. except he unloaded his whole bag they looked through all of his step up and down. and now more people are coming forward, more black people in people of color coming forward and saying that they've had this experience. and the statistics that barry can talk about. >> i want to go. there >> these random checks
8:18 pm
are not so random. >> i want to go there, but also one point of the clinton county police department has responded in some way to the statement and said that, mr. andriy, you of course, chose to speak with investigators during the initial encounter during the encounter mr. andriy voluntarily provided the investigators information as to his travel plans. mr. andriy also voluntarily consented to a search of his luggage, but the investigators chose not to do so. >> that's not true. >> when two cops pop out of nowhere on a jet bridge that's like five feet across, not even. you don't really feel like you have a choice to just go, no i don't need to talk to you. the two cops kind of pin you in this awkward claustrophobic corner. you talk to them. and then when they asked me specifically if they could search my bag i asked the -- it was clear like a veteran cop training a rookie cop, i asked a veteran, do i have to say yes
8:19 pm
to the search? >> he went, no. okay, well then, no. >> all right. >> you say that almost as if you had foiled some plan, that's how you read that moment. you mentioned the statistics i want to get you in here, very, because the numbers i think people need to hear about. you're talking about, i think it was the lawsuit sites that of the 378 stops, right, that we're in this particular -- 56% of the people who were stopped were black. 68% were people of color. and in 16 survey by ipsos of atlanta airlines for america said that 8% of air passengers are black. that is disproportionate to say the least. is that the nature of why there's more evidence in your mind to bring the sort of case? >> when we first heard about this from eric tweeting, the discrimination we do need to know about that. what we realized was that the reason they say it was voluntary or that he consented was because otherwise, it's an
8:20 pm
unreasonable seizure, it violates the fourth amendment. you can just pick people who haven't anything wrong. >> profile. >> exactly. and interrupt their lives that just cause they want to get on the plane. then we found a public records request, we asked for the data, we got the data we couldn't believe it. so, you know. 8% of 378 should be given something like 30 black votes. instead, we get to engine 11. we check this with statisticians, because i still have a hard time believing it. it's far less than one in 100 trillion is the chance of this happening randomly. so, they clearly were picking people of color black people out of the line. >> when you hear those numbers and you look at that, does that add to it for you? >> yeah, but i'm also not surprised. because this unfortunately the world we live in here. where we live in a white supremacy power structure. and these people, the clinton county police department, i don't know, playing praying on black people.
8:21 pm
for money. it's a shake down. >> the money 11 you're talking about not just the search, but being able to seize certain assets they find on people. you talk about the idea if you didn't feel like you can walk away, the idea of being able to say, no, whatever assets or money i have on me, you can't keep that either. you felt like that was no more you could do? >> i was so nervous and so confused and had already been through tsa, is that the second round of tsa? i've never experienced this. that i was just in fight or flight mode and wanted to get out there. it was a cloud, i was disassociating. >> what do you -- what is the reaction people have had is happening to you? >> a lot of people coming forward and saying, the exam exacting happen to me. i was on a jet bridge, and not just in atlanta, but people are coming out of airports all over the country saying the exact same thing. i was only black person in line. p and these cops came into nowhere on the jet bridge, pulled me out of the line and asked me if i had drugs on me
8:22 pm
in all the stuff. they're horrible stories but it's a good thing that you see hull now these people have a voice in a platform in the coming forward. hopefully, this will stop. >> hopefully. >> why is this clayton county versus the tsa? what is the authority that law enforcement would have that at a county level to come into the airport and do that? >> that's a great question. it just so happens that -- is in clayton county, the clean county police have some jurisdiction there. and as eric pointed out, which really remarkable if you think about it, why would the police be doing enforcement on people who are leaving? drug interdiction of people who are leaving the jurisdiction? it seems backwards. but as we learned, what they're doing is they're seizing money from a lot of folks. they seized an eight month period that we look at over 1 million dollars of had found two people who had drugs. so this is a scheme to get money. and the reason that policing project that we're so concerned with this, is when you have police who don't have rules or
8:23 pm
policies or anything to govern what they do, they have a lot of discretion and when have discretion, you have discrimination. >> i want to hear from someone in the clayton county police department, over can get someone on to talk about this as well and get the answers as to why, what is the process here. what is the reason this is happening? especially the numbers and figures are talking about? if that's the success rate so just speak, how can the program continue? it's not productive and, of course, what you're citing right now. thank you for telling a story. >> thanks for having us. >> really unfortunate to hear, thank you so much. look, up next. the panels back. i'm talking with the january 6th panel, no, talk about the panel in our actual segment here. they're gonna talk about this case and of alleged racial profiling, and the greater issue of race in policing in this country. this country.
8:24 pm
we're carvana we created a brand new way for you to sell your car go to carvana answer a few questions and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds we'll me to you pay u on the spot then pick up your car that's it at carvana

8:26 pm
8:27 pm
8:28 pm
so, you just heard about two black comedians filing a lawsuit about alleged racial profiling at the atlanta airport. it's the latest salvo on the uvalde conversation over race in policing, more broadly in this country. here with me, -- joey jackson and david urban. joey, i gotta go to this council to my left here, i want to know -- tell me your defense chops here, what is your reaction? overriding what you heard? >> listen, my reaction is to talk to defend. yes, defense council of course, i do what i do proudly. but you want to defend humanity, you want to defend what's right what's appropriate. and i think what's appropriate and understanding police have a job, an important part of that job is interdicting jugs and
8:29 pm
doing what they have to do. when you do it in a way that's discriminatory, that's targeted, that does not have a basis in fact, right, we deal in facts in our business. as the fabulous prosecutor that you were, right, it's about the evidence. it's about the proof. and when you're stopping people just because, you happen to be african american, and by the way, i say that because of that, you have some background in drugs this is wrong it shouldn't happen. i think goodness that they're using their great platform in writing this wrong. >> what do you think, david? >> look. it's hard to argument with what joey just said. >> because he missed memorizing. >> he's a great lawyer. but let me just point out something here, this weather that's gonna go to trial and get flushed out, a part of this about 1 million bucks was seized. about 1 million dollars was seized from 25 individuals. so you break it down, at around 40,000 bucks a person. people carrying $40,000. now, of those 25 people, only eight petitioned the court to
8:30 pm
get their money back. so what is that tell you about the other 17 people who left 40,000-plus cash on the table? >> i have the answer. i think the answer is, people are tired of red tape. they're tired of the bureaucracy. and they're not gonna fight. >> look, the reality. >> i might fight for 40,000. >> -- here's the reality. you have >> to you have to prove your money is not tied to any criminal enterprise. your money is guilty until proven innocent, that's not how the system is supposed to. work >> correct. and the standard of proof is far different. in criminal cases, you have a reasonable doubt beyond the reasonable doubt. when you talk about issues of assets for future, it's a probability. preponderance. it is it likely that it's involved. people don't want to be bothered. they want to live their lives. people want to live in peace. people don't want police intrusion. >> joey, -- that money is also used -- asset forfeiture go someplace. >> of course. >> this goes back to. policing >> and i think police need to be resourced, because they're doing a lot of good. and i won't dispute that. but what i don't believe, is they should be resourced on the
8:31 pm
backs of people who are not engaged in any wrongdoing. >> -- >> all i'm saying if you have 40,000 bucks, i know where you come from, if you have 40,000 bucks that your money, you're gonna fight for it. >> that if you know that you're entitled to get it back. and i think that part of the problem that we have here where people understand what their rights, are specifically when you're talking about an airport. because even if you're someone who says, i know my rights, the police can't stop and search me for xyz. when you're at airports, we are trained to expect to be searched, we are trained to expect for tsa to take things away from us that we can't get back. and so, it's a really unique environment where people have their guard down and they're probably more willing to subject themselves to these unreasonable searches. >> i've only been present one time when someone had cash seized, i was on the law enforcement side of it, and they explained in great detail how this individual gave their money back. gave receipts. gave them paperwork. and said, here's we gotta do to get your money back if you like to get it back. >> how do you explain this to --
8:32 pm
i know you cited the idea that notion of what you're saying in my mind is, look, all's well that ends will. you captured the money, it must have been for nefarious purposes. -- >> look at this -- 56% of the people who stopped our black, 67% people of color, only 8% of the population is flying and that numbers. -- >> how do let's take a back four step. 8% at the atlanta airport might be underrepresenting. i'm not saying, i don't either take that snapshot. chicago, whatever. i don't owe this to 66. or -- i'm not saying that the money seized with any evidence other than it's a successful program. that's where they continue doing it. they're seizing 1 million bucks, 25 people they took it from, only eight ask for it back? they're gonna keep doing it until they don't do it anymore. until they get force not to do it. that's what i'm saying i'm. not saying it's evidence of anything other than what it is. >> but the problem with that, if it's successful and the allegation that they value the
8:33 pm
constitution to get that money, -- >> they shouldn't do. it >> then it should be allowed to happen. it's incentivizing the chance of profiling to get that money. >> i think it incentivizes bad behavior. there is a role, again, for police and what they do. i'm not going to target the police department. what i'm going to do is to speak out against the practice that has no place. in the event, laura, someone is doing something that inappropriate, unlawful. you have -- that's one thing. but to target eric andriy, oh, he's african american. he must be up to something nefarious. clayton english, what about him? i just think it's not proper, let's use the law in a way it's intended and designed to be used to catch the bad guys, not to single and targeted people who are not engaged in crime. >> you make it a great point on this, amara, on the idea of conditioning. the idea -- and bite anybody from the clayton county police department because it's important to hear what they have to say, and what
8:34 pm
justification they provide. but the conditioning is more than just the airport. the idea of it being consensual involuntary, that's the part that gives you pause how genuine that would be and taking place on the jet bridge, as you're trying to board your flight. and i consider myself to be someone who really knows a lot about my rights. i think in that circumstance, i would've stopped. i would've consented to that search, if something was taken away for me, i probably would've allowed it. thinking that this was an extension of tsa. and in fact, that's what we just heard here. he said his first thought, is this more tsa screening? so, it's just a very confusing circumstance. and when you talk about the percentages that we're seeing, you have to remember, you mentioned atlanta you don't know where these percentages are coming from, this would take place in atlanta proper, it took place in the airport. so the population here is are people who are in transit. so i think that 8% is probably pretty accurate. >> and what informing the conversation more broadly, outside the airport, is the interaction of what it means when you don't consent to police officers. and don't consent in some way
8:35 pm
and feel as though even if you do, it's not going to end well. just a whole lot. >> if someone comes with a badge and a gun, right, and their police officers and they say, hey, stop. never mind, i'm gonna keep going. it's unduly coercive. and you feel that you have no choice. that's a problem. >> we'll talk more about. the >> bad trip, eric andriy's best work. >> you've been waiting all this time. >> go look it up on netflix. there you go. a plug in a conversation everyone, joey, stick around. we gotta talk about some racist comments that happened by an l.a. council member and new fallout tonight, that's next. fallout tonight, that's next. oh, wow. but we got to sell our houses. well, almost perfect. don't worry.

well, l.a. city council member -- martinez resigned from her seat today. this is two days after stepping down from her post as president after the leaked audio revealed that she had made racist comments. according to the l.a. times, those comments coming in a conversation with council member as gil said to you and kevin de leon. as well as los angeles county federation of labor president, ron herrera, who resigned from his post on monday. we're on a play from you a portion of that leaked audio, and as i say, you're not gonna like it. >> this white guy with a little
8:41 pm
black kid who's misbehaving. >> this little white kid, i mean take him around the corner, and bring him back. >> there's a lot more to that conversation, and in the wake of that frankly shocking video. that's only a portion of it. the white house says president biden believe that all the l.a. city council members who took part in that conversation should step down. back with me -- kirsten powers and david herb. you know, what is your reaction to this? we know the initial reaction that the comments highly problematic. but i do wonder what you make of the decision of the white house to weigh in on this issue in particular? what do you make of it? >> well, you know, when we're talking about here in terms of the other members were on the call who were silent who didn't object to this, didn't say anything. i think what the white house is speaking to is the fact that they still have not taken any action. they've apologized, beyond that,
8:42 pm
there has been any meaningful action. i think there is the question about whether these people deserve to hold elected office. you have to think about what was said on that call. this woman, not only refers to this black child with a terrible slur calling him a monkey, but then he says he wants to take him around the corner and beat him. the other people on the call don't say anything to objects to this. so there is a question about whether these people should hold elected office, in my view, no, they should not. >> there are protests happening about this very issue, time trying to make sure they did not hold office. not all have resigned. i want to replay what karen jean-pierre had to say on the remarks that were said and what president biden thought of that. >> the president is glad to see that one of the participants in that conversation has resigned. but they all should. he believes that they all should. resign. the language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable, and it was appalling. they should all step down. >> that was tuesday, right,
8:43 pm
commenting on that. and then norrie martinez said, to my constituents after resigning, serving you has been a privilege in one that i don't give up lightly. you are my neighbors, my friends, and the reason for this service. well i take the time to look inwards and reflect, i asked you give me space and privacy on these issues. what do you make of this? >> i don't understand where they all just didn't resign immediately. so the fact that it took anytime stepping down and then the resigning and all of that, sometimes, you screw up, massively. and when you screw up this massively, you should just resign, you should take some time, get some therapy, talk to different people to get advice to figure out how you got to this point that you would speak about other people this way or that you would sit there and say nothing when other people were speaking this way. go deal with your issues, basically. it's just bizarre to me that people think that they can do
8:44 pm
stuff like this and then just go on like nothing had happened. if i was on record saying stuff like this, i would accept to take me to the hospital get a brain scan. because something is wrong with me. it's just so inconceivable to talk this way, that is just bizarre that she was talking this way in these other two people were sitting there acting like it was normal. >> what's interesting about it, you take the reaction that's come out, i think collectively overtime has been these two arguments, on the one hand it's resign, you don't deserve to do the chance to leave. you asked -- you foreclosed on that opportunity. the other is, you believe in redemption and i want to learn from -- >> yes. >> i can go from this and i want to maintain my position. then you've got the argument of, this is cancel culture yet again. you can do anything wrong. -- >> it's not cancel culture, this is a screw up. she forfeited the right to be a leader in the governor. she should've stepped down. but the whole city council
8:45 pm
should've stepped down. just like i think governor should step down in virginia. but we saw the wagons get circled around him. >> because of the blackface. >> because the. blackface i don't know which when he was. everyone circled the wagons there and said, oh, the guy stands governor. the guy's governor. >> but he chose to. he that's the point. look, -- >> where is the white house there -- >> i believe in redemption. but i think it's a really important thing to say, that that doesn't mean that there's no accountability. so, there can be accountability where people then go, like i said, they deal with their issues and they try to make things right. part of that redemptive process is them repentigny in repairing and making things better. fixing where they've caused broken this. that's what should be happening. holding people accountable is not canceling them. >> is there room for that, redemption in politics, still? >> there is room for, but there
8:46 pm
is a process that needs to take place and we're far too early in this for that process to be complete. and i think there's also a bigger context here, explaining part of the reason why people are so ex upset about this, people are saying that the whole reason they were having this call was to talk about diluting black political power in los angeles. so, when you pair that with what was said on this call about this black child, you see why a lot of people are very, very upset about what took place. and why they really feel that these three members, at least, have no place in leadership in los angeles. >> they have little bit more real politic view of politics. i don't think -- there may be room for grace, but on the current political environment. you get scorched, you get burned, maybe 10:15 years later you can come back. by the way, i'm all for grace. i'm all for asking for forgiveness i believe in second acts. but part of the thing is admitting iran saying i did something wrong. and in the governor's case, he didn't step forward and say, look, i screwed up, i was an idiot i did bad things. they were really offensive. i heard a lot of people.
8:47 pm
i should be the governor of a state that so diverse like virginia. just own it. and then come back. you can't have redemption if you don't do that. and in this case, it didn't happen in this case, i'm glad to see democrats deckhand being up and owning. it >> it's fastening that we able to narrow it down in the stakes of politicians just two instances. i could give you a whole list of things, we could take up the entire studio here. it's time for all of you to sound off here, your tweets are coming up next. everyone. everyone. this... is a glimpse into the no-too-distant future of lincoln. ♪ ♪ itit's what sanctuary could look like... feel like... sound like... even smell like. more on that soon. ♪ ♪ the best part? the prequel is pretty sweet too. ♪ ♪ making time for the dentist isn't easy. but when your mouth says it's time, you listen.

8:52 pm
from a law enforcement perspective? it is bad practice, because it creates a blind spot. if you're only looking at people of color, than a white guy with a suitcase of cocaine can walk right past you. another person mentions, i consider myself middle of the road, common sense voter. john fetterman having to use a closed caption for debate is not a big deal to me. watching him was alarming which i can't say enough among other candidates in the last few years. you're laughing. when you think about that? >> i'm just thinking of various people in the public sphere who speak in word salad constantly. >> the current president? >> and the same people like donald trump who, if you ever interviewed him as i have, and you try to read the transcript and there are no sentences. it's just run on all over the place. so, does he have a cognitive problem? i mean, i never ran referencing he had cognitive problems. you know, so suddenly because this person who actually has a diagnosed reason for this,
8:53 pm
auditory processing. issues. and we've been told that that's what it is, why is everybody acting like he is not capable of doing this job? it's ableism, i am sorry, it is straight up ableism. >> i think a lot of the fetterman stuff has been about the honesty about his health. he didn't tell anybody had a stroke, wasn't completely honest with the democrats, the governor. >> not telling somebody something for three days is not dishonest. >> it's completely dishonest. >> get all the information until you're able to tell people it's going. >> it tripped and shipped out. it hasn't been forthcoming. i work for a member who had cancer, heart attacks, many many bad things. >> the minute they got -- >> i'm sure -- this is ridiculous. >> you call me a liar, it happened. >> mara, can you come into this for a minute. the lawyer comment. >> i'm just talking about grace, i would like to remind. you >> mara -- >> can we circle back to the. this applies to fetterman.

as it ties into what we're talking about with race. here's someone who's just been through a very serious medical issue. and i don't think it's unreasonable to extend a little bit of grace and commentate what he says his deeds are. >> i wonder if voters will do it at the ballot box, another tweet out, it's the fact that we are even debating illegitimacy and partisanship of the supreme court is yet another indication a threat to democracy is in our nation. you guys don't have a chance to weigh in on the issue of the supreme court what happening. what do you make of it? >> listen, people been saying the supreme court devices since mayberry versus madison. this isn't like brand-new. there have been court packing's, on and on and on. same story different day. >> it's a little bit. new go ahead. >> i think it's different. at least in our lifetimes, right. the supreme court was that one institution, i felt like when i was growing up or even in my twenties in my 30s, you know, that you would look at it, my 40s, and think like, this is an
8:55 pm
institution that we can basically count on in a way that i nesn would necessarily look at the other branches of government. it does feel like this is something very different where it's starting to feel very partisan. >> we're gonna leave it here, it doesn't seem to be as partisan, it seems to have connective tissue about alex jones and here. i hope it sends a message that lives are hurtful, and you will pay the price for spreading lies. using the hashtag, cnn sound off. let's end it there everyone, you know where to find all of us, you know where to find me here at the laura coats, i want to thank all of you for watching and giving us your take, it's important for you to be part of conversation. then i want to talk around, you want to talk with you. thank you for it to your panelist for being a part of this today. thank you for watching our coverage continues.
