i don't even know that she believes she is saying it. people in world experiencing real racist or experiencing some headwinds because of the color of their skin, wherever that might be angry at her for making something up. this is the result of poor performance over four years. one of the worst individuals. evidently she treats her staff terribly, treats the press terribly. does a terrible job as a mayor and most importantly she has alienated herself from the cops. most of them quit. the ones that weren't backed are not motivated to do their job because they are not supported. they are not going to put their lives on the line for somebody that doesn't care about them. >> ainsley: she revoked the press credentials from a reporter asking her the tough questions. then she said he is not allowed at any of of my press conferences any more. we talked to him in the past. agregianno caldwell lax policies made him move counsel to

done this. she is running to her baby. while he has gotten -- picked up the blackout and opens fire at close range. >> the pressure is on this man on this man were unbearable and all reaching a crescendo the day his wife and son were murdered by him. >> jurors began the day with a visit to the crime scene, the murdaugh home, about 30 minutes from the court house. a defense attorney explained why. >> it could provide some convincing evidence to a juror that may be on the fence. right now, 10 jurors have made up their mind. even 11. and maybe one is on the fence. >> let's take a look at the timeline on june 7th, 2021, murdaugh calls 911 to report his wife maggie and son paul were shot july 14, 2022. murdaugh indicted on two counts of murder. prosecutors say he fatally shot

his wife with a rifle and his son with a shotgun. he pleads not guilty at a bond hearing and his lawyer says he wants to go to trial. january 23rd of this year, murdaugh trial be begins with jy selection and here are the charges against alex murdaugh once again, two counts of murder two, counts of possession of a weapon. he could face 30 years to life in prison. as you mentioned the defense will begin closing arguments at 9:30 this morning, guys. >> griff: lucas tomlinson, thank you very much. listen the nation is captivated on this trial. and it is clear from all the things we have seen that this family, murdaugh family at times appeared very much at times above the law but now there is a pretty strong case to be made even for those jurors that might be sympathetic to this family may be swayed maybe have some for stages removed. if they find him guilty we will find out. >> ainsley: his timeline doesn't

add up. proven to be a liar in so many different cases, stealing money, using the insurance, keeping the insurance money that was supposed to go to the family of the housekeeper that died on the property. and this happened, his wife and his son died the very day that the coo of his law firm approached him and said did you steal this money? and that gotcha moment. and later that night, his wife and his son die. then, a few days later he had a june 10th hearing over his finances related to the multi million dollars wrongful death lawsuit stemming from his son's boating accident where israeli e beach died. >> brian: keeps saying he was out of his mind when he did it. >> ainsley: brian this is what the prosecutor said. the pressures on this man they were all reaching a crescendo the day his wife and son were murdered. this was like nothing he had ever experienced. he had always been one step ahead of the game.

>> griff: when you look at the case that the prosecution laid out, they really went in to the financial stuff but the defense banked their case that if they put him on the stand, murdaugh and got it out there, that he had stolen the money, that he had an opioid addiction that there wouldn't be anything left for the prosecution. now it really does hinge, i think, on the timing of when he was there because he lied about whether he was there now we know he was. he admitted it. what about that timing? that's what people are looking at about five minutes. >> griff: the blackout rifle that was used to kill maggie was now gone. that was the family's rifle they kept talking about during the trial that that was paul's favorite rifle. that he would carry it around regularly because they had wild boar on their property and they wanted to make sure they had a weapon. and alex's favorite gun according to his attorney was the bin nellie super black eagle 12 gauge shotgun. that was never recovered either. two family guns matched the description of the bullets that killed both of them and they are

gone. >> brian: 17 minutes now after the hour go over to ashley with news. >> ashley: start your headlines with this, the suspect accused of check ago bag with an exclusive at a pennsylvania airport will appear before a judge today. mark seen here in airport surveillance images faces federal charges. airport security discovered the device during the screenings process, fbi bomb technician x-rayed discovered powder with a fuse. he left the airport tracked down at home. the environmental protection agency giving folks in east palestine, ohio an alarming warning about their water weeks after the toxic train derailment, watch. >> i would not advise anybody, adult or a child play in the creeks and stream. what we have said is the drinking water has been tested. if that drinking water has been tested and the green light has been given and we feel confident in that. >> ashley: those remarks come as the union leader religion clean-up workers say they are

bent out of shape. >> ainsley: can you believe this? >> brian: he wants them to pray. >> ainsley: with everything requesting on in the world people are upset that he is praying to god. here's what he said. this is him speaking about his faith. this was on december 4th in 2022. >> don't you ever tell me what god ain't. don't you ever tell me his limits. don't you ever tell me what you can't do. and all the persons in the world god chose me. for that, i thank you. for that i love him. for that i magnify him. for that i glorify him. for that i praise him. for that i owe him. each and every day. i'm trying to please him. >> griff: and for that, a group got upset. the freedom from religion foundation wrote to the university of colorado saying this: the university of colorado must take action to protect its student athletes and

to ensure. >> brian: protect. >> griff: sanders understands he has been hired as a football coach and not a pastor. >> ainsley: that's what they are worried about. they are worried about a prayer. he said this prayer. lord, we thank you for this day, father, for this opportunity as a group. father, we thank you for the movement that god has put us in place to be in charge of. we thank you for each player here, each coach, each family, in jesus' name we pray, amen. >> brian: they don't like that prayer. they don't like any prayer. they feel like you are forcing religion on people. wasn't this case just decided with that football coach that went to the supreme court with coach kennedy? we have had him on here a bunch of times that says you can pray before, after, and during games? you know, allows it. so your complaints fall on deaf ears. >> ainsley: voluntary. not making the players have your same religion. they are just praying for the team. he has a strong faith. and a lot of players want to

play for a coach that has a strong faith. >> brian: a lot of parents want their kids. >> ainsley: look at dash cam ato sweeney. he doesn't force anyone to pray or do a bible study. widely known so deeply engrained in his faith and love of the lord you hear parents all the time i want my kids to play for clemson not only great team but a great coach. >> brian: other guys will say yeah, that's not for me. pick another school. that's pretty much in the whole recruiting process. first liberty institute has this view of this and this is in support of dion. the supreme court has repeatedly held that public school employees may engage in religious expression and exercise. therefore, public universities like colorado university may not target coach sanders or other members of the football team for exercising con sticial rights. the school says we will send you to the offers of institutional equity and compliance if you have a problem deion sanders praying in your vicinity.

the name of the case that settled this i thought was kennedy vs. bremerton and that was last year. steve. >> griff: if you go back to our age. fellowship of christian athletes was a big part of the i played soccer in high school and ran track. there was a connection to something more fundamental to what you are trying to do right? trying to keep me out of trouble and that sort of thing. he brings that ethos. he brings that mind set to his locker room. shall jackson state. is he making it very clear that his faith is going to be part of becoming the athlete that he wants to mold those young men and women. i think this antireligion group is laying down the mark everywhere they are going to fight him. >> ainsley: i was involved in fellowship of christian athletes. i wasn't an athlete in college i still went to all those meetings. we had wonderful speakers every week. many of them were the athletes on campus we would look up to. we would see them winning on the court and field. always nice to hear from. they you look up, as a young

woman, i always was searching for a man, a godly man. so i loved going to those meetings because those are the men that i knew i wanted to end up with. >> brian: the thing is, too. have we settled this? do you pray to win or do you pray for safety, to play good. do you pray you start? what does god want to hear and does god pick favorites? does he pick the winners? is this too deep for you, griff? >> griff: pray to win and to be a greater athlete. i hope that deion sanders will continue to fight and stand up for what he believes. >> brian: i'm pretty sure he will. he doesn't back off of anything. >> ainsley: pray for god's will. jesus take the wheel as carrie underwood would say. >> brian: don't blame me god wanted me to lose today. >> ainsley: god sees the future and he does. maybe he needed the other team to win for reason. >> brian: that's the way to wrap it up. that's why she hosts a bible study. you have something else you want to talk about. >> ainsley: are you jealous of this. >> brian: very jealous.

what why have watched and witnessed friends worry about the safety of their family when they're sitting outside. >> one of the reasons i moved to buckhead as a single woman is because i helped raise my niece and nephew. one of the reasons i moved is because of safety. and that has declined. i have also heard other people say well, welcome to the real world. there's crime all around atlanta. well, we pay a premium, most of us. definitely not wealthy and i'm definitely not one of the white people who want to get away from black people or a class issue. i'm just a regular, hard-working person who lives in buckhead and seen the decline. so, unfortunately, people in other areas have not held their representatives accountable for the crime. so now that it's happening here, i think the common thing is we're not going to sit back and just say okay, crime is

happening here. we want something done about it. >> ainsley: how will it work? how will you pay for it, the safety, the police department? how will you succeed? what does it look like? >> so i am not -- i am not an expert on city mood hood. i have read the bill. i understand that the committee has been working on this for about three years. so i am not an expert. i just know that something needs to be done. what i have read and what other residents have read, we have seen, okay, it looks like this should be able to work. is everything on paper always going to go as planned? absolutely not. however, you got talk to the bond people. you have got to talk to the attorneys, have addressed all of governor kemp's concerns that he put out yesterday. what i'm here to tell you is as a resident whether we are for or against it. the foot soldiers we actually want to see a vote. and let me tell you this as well. i believe atlanta will be okay. atlanta is a strong city. it has been a strong city since general sherman came through and burned it down and atlanta rose

up. atlanta is a destination for convention for pro-sports, for amateur sports, for everything. atlanta is the home of the civil rights movement. except for the falcons, atlanta rises up. so i believe buckhead leaves and buck -- atlanta is going to be okay. i totally believe that i don't know the inner workings but what i see on paper, i at least want to try it because i heard doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. and so we're counting on lieutenant governor burt jones to help us get this on the floor and to help it to pass. >> ainsley: will it pass? what do most of your neighbors say? >> we think it will. and that's the interesting thing. the interesting thing is that most of us believe -- i know many people who are against it. but the one thing we all have in common is i tell you not the politicians, not the people who are writing the bills, the people on the ground in buckhead for or against say let us have an opportunity to vote and that's all we're asking for.
