tonight on "the reidout" -- ♪ >> a moral monday rally in nashville to protest the deadly acceleration of the gun culture in the u.s and as more children are killed in mass shootings this weekend, the nra meets to celebrate

weapons of death also tonight, michael cohen joins me to talk about what weaponization of government really looks like. as jim jordan plays make believe on the issue in an embarrassing field hearing of the once respected house judiciary committee. plus, justice clarence thomas is promising to fix his financial irregularities as a whole new set of questions come to light and we begin tonight with more young americans fighting for their lives at this country's massacre epidemic rages on following a spate otmass shootings less than three weeks since the children of nashville were buried, this is a feeling of an accelerating gun culture and the carnage and death that comes with it. the fear, the violence, they can feel unstoppable, even all consuming at times and it isn't just because of america's indifference to gun violence it feels like parts of this country are engaged in a

celebration of gun violence. a veneration and devotion that has turned america into the most heavily armed civilian population in the world, and a virtual shooting gallery americans buy millions of guns a month and keep buying more, feeding a booming industry that can't market their trade in other parts of the world where they have actual gun laws so they pump all their resources into fostering america's sick obsession. the national rifle association shared that agenda, promoting the right to use them without a second thought over the weekend, photographs by reuters spread online showing children holding guns at the nra's annual convention last weekend. including this image of a 6-year-old pointing a firearm directly at the camera this is a disturbing image, no doubt. but perhaps what's more disturbing is how adults are coaching their kids to worship weapons of war but it shouldn't surprise us given how republican governors

like kristi noem think guns and not rattles belong in a 1-year-old's hands >> little ms. ade, who is almost two and branch who is just a few months hold, they have brought us so much joy now addy, who soon will need them, i want to reassure you, she already has a shotgun and she already has a rifle. and she's got a little pony named sparkles too, so the girl is set up. >> and the crowd went wild for the grooming even as americans far from the political podiums face violence in their everyday lives. last week in missouri, a 16-year-old boy named ralph was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address while daemattempting tok up his siblings. in tennessee, the republican supermajority's response to l sl to arm teachers. in louisville, two people are

dead after a shooting in a park, after five days after another shooting in which five people died on saturday night, a shooting in alabama at a crowded sweet 16 birthday party we know these kinds of massacres can occur anywhere, everywhere in a small rural knclose-knit tw like adeville, alabama, where about 3,000 people live. it's in a county where in 2022, 77% of its voters voted to re-elect governor kay ivey, a republican endorsed by the nra who signed a permless carry bill into law and cruised to victory using campaign ads like this one >> kay kicks so much liberal butt, i bet her leg is tired >> no step too high for a high stepper. >> yes, ma'am. >> that's right. >> what does that mean, anyway >> i don't know, but i like it >> okay, that's sick

the youth-led movement to put people over guns has its eye on kay ivey and kristi noem and greg abbott and every other republican who values weapons over human lives their cry, vote them all out, which is exactly what protesters alongside william barber were marching for in tennessee today. >> while kids are dying, while students are told to run, hide, and fight, the so-called solution our lawmakers are offering is to put more guns in more places. we want safe schools, not fortresses we want to be teachers, not soldiers >> joining me now is reverend mark thompson who participated in the march reverend al sharpton and host of "politics nation," and gun safety advocate fred guttenberg, who lot his 14-year-old daughter in the 2018 mass shooting in parkland, florida. he's the co-author of the forthcoming book, american carnage, shattering the myths

that fuel gun violence thank you for being here mark, give us a sense of what went on today. >> right now, i'm standing outside of the balcony of the house chamber where they're deliberating this piece of legislation in order to arm teachers with guns you know, police officers have to check their gun in when they go into the squad room, correctional officers have to check their gun in, so this is going to be a very serious debate tonight nobody wants to support arming teachers but the tennessee legislature is prepared to do that just over my shoulder is one of the caskets we tried to cara into the chamber we were naunt allowed to do that, but a good crowd to stand against this gun violence and other forms of death this is a baby casket. those are babies that were killed in this school here in nashville, so people are demonstrating. i'm doing live on msnbc, sir i'm live on msnbc.

joy, i'll be there in a minute all right. >> what is going on there, mark? can we go back to mark so i can see what's going on with him >> they gave me permission you see the trooper going back in they gave me permission to stand out here and then they came out and tried to revoke permission i told the gentleman i was live on television. he heard that and decided to go away it's like that up here >> yeah, maybe they didn't like what you were saying the people who preach this kind of worship of firearms also call themselves christians. and they wrap their love of guns in supposedly their love of the lord these two things are incompatible in the theology i grew up in >> not only incompatible, it's the height of hypocrisy. last week ironically when we had national action network's convention, it was the same time they were having the nra convention, and vice president harris who keynoted for us friday, the whole subject was on gun control.

and we had faith leaders, the bishop of the ame church, bishop richardson, and bishop jay sheard and others saying we have to deal with the moral compass of the black church. how can you have 6-year-old children, as you just saw at the nra convention, holding up a gun and then you talk about how you celebrate the prince of peace. one of thekey things we're doing with national action network and faith leaders in the black church is saying this must become the issue gun control and what we're doing in terms of criminal justice don't forget, tyre nichols' trial is coming up we have to make this the issue where we set the tone rather than the politicians set the tone for us. this has to be what the '24 race is about >> tennessee, where mark is right now, is one of the states

that do not require concealed carry permits. we'll put the map up that map that you're seeing right there, fred guttenberg, includes your home state of florida. it corresponds in many ways. florida is not on the top ten list, with the states with the highest number of gun deaths 9 out of 10 are red states, states that have very lax gun laws they allow people to carry sometimes without a concealed carry permit and sometimes open carry. it's like we're creating this atmosphere where certain americans think we should all just be prepared to die at any time, to watch our children die, to watch our parents die at the store, to die everywhere, and they want that culture i don't understand it. do you >> well, actually, i do understand it. and let's start with the nra convention, which was in fact a fraud. it was another in a long line of lies why do i say that? because while theywere glorifying and selling gun violence, you are not allowed in there with a gun

so it was in fact another fraud. people talking tough, people inciting, people exciting others to do wicked, evil things, but just not near them maybe you saw governor lee in tennessee over the past week tables have turned a bit on gun violence because it touched him personally i'm not surprised by any of these people they are liars and it is time we stop listening to the liars i just want to say this. my daughter in three months would be 19 years old. so if you look at the past 19 years in this country, the understanding of gun violence and where it is today is clear in 2003, when she was born, we're about 200 million weapons in america and ar-15s were about 2% of guns sold. in 2018 when my daughter was killed, there were about 300

million weapons in america if you go to today, there's over 400 million plus ghost guns but the tragic thing is instead of being under 2% of all weapons sold, the ar-15 is now 25% of all weapons sold understanding gun violence, it's easy it's in the numbers. we were conned >> i think we were and reverend sharpton, i think about the trayvon martin case. what the nra has done, they can't sell these weapons in europe because europe has gun laws they're forcing them on mexico mexico has one gun shop and it's controlled by the army the way the cartels are getting guns is from the united states, the way the caribbean is flooded from guns is because of here they're selling the guns here and getting people to buy more and more because they can't sell internationally, but what they're also do with the stand your ground laws, they're saying not only do we want you to buy more and more guns, we are going to sell them to you, but we want you to feel freer to use it.

take that gun out and shoot because we're going to pass laws that say you can shoot someone and get away with it that's the atmosphere in which ralph gets shot. >> when you take away the penalty, when you take away the punishment, you are developing a society that will become totally unhinged because they feel they will not have to pay, as in the case of zimmerman. you are bringing all these cases now. to think what happened to this young man in missouri, and they let the guy go now they rearrest him later. why did you let him go and to think of what happened in tennessee. i was talking to tyre nichols' parents. think about what happened in tennessee with the school. you're talking aboutyoung whit children, one black security guard. the other five were white. three 9-year-old white children, and the tennessee state legislature is going to vote against people that look like their own kids this is out of control >> and claim that prayer in school will help that's a christian school.

they obviously had prayer, they had a security guard they still ended up with six people dead. mark, you also have in this culture, because i think the cultural argument is important to make. in texas right now on the orders of tucker carlson of fox news, governor greg abbott is about to pardon a man who shot a black lives matter protester you have all these laws being passed, go ahead and hit that protester with a car, the governor will pardon you let me show you what daniel perry was posting. i might have to kill a few people on my way to work they're rioting outside my apartment complex. on june 1st, black lives matter is racist to white people. it is official, i am racist because i do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo. june 1st again now it is my turn to get banned from facebook by comparing the black lives matter movement to a full zoo full of monkeys that are freaking flipping -- flinging their s-h-i-t the culture part is important to

get out because you have the right, the republican party, fox news all saying buy more guns and then use them. >> yeah, yeah. well, and you have, as reverend sharpton had, you have people of all races. these were white children killed in tennessee all nine, because of an obsolete amendment that was established really people need to read the history, do your homework, the hidden history of the second amendment by professor carl t. boger. the second amendment was meant to prevent slave insurrection and slave rebellions that's why people -- there was no individual right. that's what it was really about. they didn't want to give up their arms to the state to fight the british because they needed to keep arms in the words of patrick henry, to fight against insurrections on the plantation. this is what this is really about. it's depraved culture, tragic, and might i also say, we have to tie all this up, the gun

violence in the streets, the gun violence in the schools, the gun violence on the part of police grand jury today decided not to charge eight officers who fired 96 shots at jalen walker last june and hit him 46 times and killed him so this gun culture is a very sick one we must continue to do something about it thoughts and prayers, we're not ministers and we pray all the time, but we have to pray with our feet >> fred, you know better than any of us tragically so that they don't care any more about white kids than they do about black kids african americans are more likely statistically to die from gun violence whether it's police involved or not, but they don't care whether white kids die either, as reverend sharpton said, white children, little babies third graders died in tennessee and they don't care more than if they were black kids at this point, it really is a question of the majority two-thirds of americans want gun reform they don't care what the majority think they just love guns more than

children >> they don't care about kids, period in fact, after the tennessee shooting, they skipped over thoughts and prayers and they just went to the nonsense. but think about what's happened in tennessee tonight where the reverend is at, which is the effort to arm teachers which again, gets to why they don't care about kids. you have about 115,000 schools in america since columbine, they have been fewer than 400 school shootings. my daughter, unfortunately, got caught up in an anomaly, something so rare, about .3% of all schools is what happened to my daughter. okay, so the notion that arming teachers, really, really, really rare thing, is a solution is a lie. all it is is about selling more guns putting more guns in schools amongst more people whr potentially leave their guns out on a bathroom counter which has already happened in schools where they allow arming of

teachers more children will die if teachers are armed >> absolutely. and meanwhile, it's rare here but everywhere else in the world, it doesn't happen this is the school shooting capital of the world it's the only place where you are unfortunately statistically likely to face gun violence at a store, at the walmart, at your church, at a parade. literally the united states is a shooting gallery at this point, and there's a whole class of americans who really couldn't give a damn. sorry i said give a damn in front of two pastors i'm going to pray about it on sunday reverend mark thompson, reverend al sharpton, fred guttenberg, thank you. up next, weaponization committee chair jim jordan takes aim at new york city gun rates, opening up fact chekts about the higher rates in his own state. so you can forget about your underarms and focus on being unforgettable.

today was supposed to be a big day in wilmington, delaware, where dominion's trial against fox was supposed to get under way. but the judge announced it was being pushed to tomorrow he did not provide any reason for the delay, only saying the move was not unusual in such a case there have been reports that a last ditch effort to reach a settlement could be the cause. but at this moment, what we know is that the trial should begin tomorrow morning there was plenty of other drama

to fill the void today, thanks to donald trump's lackeys on capitol hill who dragged the house judiciary committee on a field trip to new york city, not to go to times square or to catch a broadway show, but to star rather in their own theatrical performance in the form of a field hearing targeting manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, the man leading the criminal indictment of donald trump, accusing bragg of being soft on crime it is just the latest stunt by republicans in their efforts to try to discredit bragg's criminal case against their dear leader >> here in manhattan, the scales of justice are weighed down by politics the district attorney justice isn't blind. it's about looking for opportunities to advance a political agenda, a radical political agenda >> he said that here in manhattan, the scales of justice are being weighed down by politics and they are, but only today, in america being rich, being powerful, even being president of the united states

does not entitle you to violate the law with impunity. >> joining me are two democrats who attended today's field hearing, congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas and dan goldman of new york. representative goldman, this is jour city so i'm going to start with you first what did you think was gotten out of this hearing today? >> very little because it wasn't a serious conversation about anything that congress can deal with it was about a local prosecutor dealing with state law, congress of course deals with federal law. but the clear intention was to create a political stunt to undermine district attorney bragg. and they're doing this at the direction and coordination of -- with donald trump. they know that is not a base to have a congressional investigation. it is a gross abuse of power to use the authority of congress in support of a private citizen's criminal defense so they're now trying to dress

up this investigation as some investigation coincidentally about the manhattan district attorney's soft on crime policies, the same person who charged donald trump we got nowhere, in large part because we were not talking about the number one problem with public safety in our country, and that's gun violence and unfortunately, republicans are unwilling to engage in meaningful policy discussions about gun safety legislation, and instead want to attack prosecutors with anti-semitic tropes and false accusations >> let me read you hot the manhattan d.a.'s office said for outside politicians to appear in new york city on the taxpayer dime is a slap in the face to the officers, prosecutors, and public servants who work tirelessly every day to keep your home safe. mike johnson explained in his

own words why he felt this hearing was needed i'm going to let you listen to that oh, i'm going to read it representative mike johnson said that part of the reason republicans wanted to hold a hearing in manhattan is that their constituents were seeing reports of new york city crime on the news and asking about it. how many of your constituents have asked you about new york city crime >> you know, joy, thank you for having me. the sad part about this is that the victims become the victims again. my heart goes out to all of the victims who came with the sense that they were going to get help some kind of relief. and in actuality, the champions of victims' rights and victim funding are democrats. my committee, the subcommittee on crime, has been a great proponent of the victims of crime act, modifying it and insuring it was funded and adding more dollars to it. i provided victims assistance dollars to law enforcement as have other members of the

judiciary. the actual reasoning congressman johnson gave was not only nonsensical, one could ask what veracs city it had because what see in america is, one, if they're victims, they want not to be victims. they want us to prevent crime. they want intervention what we have seen in america is the head shaking and tears and the outrage over nashville, over louisville, over alabama, over uvalde, over mother emanuel. this is a pain that i see in my constituents day after day after day. the mounting mass shootings that have occurred and more mass shootings than days in the year because of guns, because of assault weapons and we can't see to get any hearing on the question of that, and the other part of this was the absolute unethical and inappropriate attack on a sitting office holder, so much so that district attorney bragg and his members of his staff have to get armed security

thank goodness for nypd, mayor adams, who are fighting to do what is right. but white powder, being called an animal by the former president, and racial epithets coming toward them i believe that our job is to do what we can do we can help victims. we can stop the scourge and the siege of gun violence by the number of guns on the street we can add more atf officers to stop gun trafficking, stop ghost guns, store our guns away. i think what i saw today was a sad example of using people's pain, using their pain to be able to make a mockery of justice. each one of those witnesses that i could get to, i went and shook their hands and told them i love them, i feel for them, and we're going back to washington to fight for victims, to fight for dollars to intervene in gun violence and ask speaker mccarthy to put the assault weapons ban on the floor of the

house for an up or down vote can america ask us to do that? can i hear the noise and support to put the assault weapons ban on the floor of the house and get a yes or no vote >> congressman goldman, i will note that columbus, ohio, has a crime rate, a homicide rate that is three times that of new york city columbus, ohio that is a place that is represented by jim jordan. does that come up in any of your hearings >> absolutely, and let me be clear. not only did that come up, but burglary, grand larceny, theft, all those numbers are down and the numbers of the cities like bakersville, where the speaker of the house has come from, has a high murder rate, and of course, cities in ohio, a number of them, have high rates, as in indiana, as in a number of red states have higher rates of crime, including murder, than new york city. by the way, he is a district attorney for manhattan

let's be very clear. there are many other boroughs that make up new york city >> congressman, i'll give you the last word on this. this does seem to be really theatrics to try to mount a defense for donald trump are you concerned that jim jordan's end game is to try to actually get some of what the d.a. has so he can share it with donald trump's lawyers >> well, that's certainly what his hope and intent is that will not happen and there's this lawsuit filed by the district attorney which i am eager to see play out because i have called for speaker mccarthy and jim jordan to release their communications with donald trump and his legal defense team they of course are not listening to me and they have refused, but they will be compelled to disclose that information as part of this lawsuit so we will find out the degree of their collusion and their coordination, working with the taxpayers' dime in support of donald trump's legal defense

it's shameful, and it's a gross abuse of power and we're going to keep fighting to get that information. >> i will note that the judiciary committee also has oversight over the supreme court, and we will await any hearings on clarence thomas' alleged corruption representative sheila jackson lee and dan goldman, thank you both still ahead, speaking of weaponizing government, you know who knows a little bit about being a target of a weaponized government former trump attorney michael cohen. he joins me next ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ hey, man. nice pace! clearly, you're a safe driver. you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!

house judiciary chair jim jordan's field trip to manhattan today comes after his never-ending quest to find any credible evidence of u.s. agencies being politically weaponized has so far been a total dud. but he's getting warmer. there is one new yorker who does know a thing of two about being a target of a weaponized government, and there's one person who does know it. it's not donald trump. it's his former lawyer and fixer michael cohen. >> this is now a federal judge who was told by the justice department, by the same prosecutors that coerced him into these guilty pleas, file the papers and said we're sending him back to prison because he refused to sign a paper that had nothing to do with the fact he was writing a book about trump the judge heard the evidence and the judge said what was told to

me by the federal government prosecutors was not true that's a nice way of saying lying. he was sent back to prison out of vengeance to force him to sign a paper that he wouldn't write a book, and the judge ordered him out of prison. people in the southern district of new york and the bureau of prisons had to have been embarrassed and mr. berman tells us why that happened it had to come from somebody in washington >> joining me is michael cohen, principal of crisis x, and the host of the political beat down podcast. his new book is called revenge talk about weaponization of government what do you think of this field trip >> i think it's a waste of time, a waste of new york taxpayer dollars. dan goldman put it perfectly, as did barbara lee. >> sheila jackson lee. >> i'm sorry, when they said this is nothing more than a political stunt. it's a political stunt designed

in order for jim jordan to show his supreme leader that he is still loyal, still in the camp, and he's going to do his bidding. it's really sad because when they first opened up this subcommittee, i was really hopeful, not optimistic, but hopeful that he actually really wanted to get to the bottom of the weaponization, because the united states is not about donald trump it's not about republican party or the democratic party. it's about the united states and the citizens, and his responsibility despite the fact he's a republican is to act for the benefit of all americans he's not doing that. and it's a disgrace. >> i mean, you have madethe point that the federal government was weaponized against you. you were prosecuted for something you didn't do, donald trump did it, you did what you did for him, and thenio were put back, as lanny davis just said, into jail because you wanted to write a book >> another 15 days of solitary confinement, bringing it to 51 days in total. this is not normal behavior.

this isn't something you would see in the united states in essence, they made me the first political prisoner held in my own country because i refused to waive my first amendment constitutional rights. if that doesn't scare you to death, it should because you could be next. that's the whole point of everything that i'm doing. donald trump is a clear and present danger to the united states and to all of democracy >> he's now suing you for $500 million. >> i got served actually today i have two great lawyers that are coming onboard any day now >> suing you for what? >> you know, he's suing me for defamation he's suing me for just a a multitude -- breaking an nda, which i don't recall ever signing. i don't believe they have been able to prus that document, but there are all sorts of issues. i have two great lawyers coming on and i promise you one thing, they're not like donald trump's, you know, cracker jack carnival

attorneys. i'm talking about the real deals. and he's going to regret today >> evan corcoran represented donald trump and he's still going to represent him in some things but he's recused himself from the document theft case, the mar-a-lago case. he testified to the grand jury in that case you have been donald trump's lawyer, you know the risks of representing this guy and wind up in the making attorneys get attorneys situation. what do you make of the fact he's trying to pull himself away in at least that part? it seems pretty dangerous to trump. >> at the end of the day, he's doing the right thing. he's protecting himself now, something i should have done myself you may remember years ago i said to stephanopoulos that my loyalty, my first loyalty belongs to my wife, my daughter, my son, and my country it looks like corcoran is taking that advice to heart >> if there was a genuine investigation of the weaponization of government, because we talked before the break started, you could legitimately have a good committee investigation on it going back to what was done to

dr. king, all the way forward to what was done in your case what would you want to see investigated regarding what happened with you and the southern district of new york? >> it's bigger than me i'm trying to use my specific case for something, again, much larger than me right now, the american people don't have faith in our department of justice. how can we not have faith in our department of justice, acting in the best interest of the american people. how can we not believe that our supreme court members are, you know, are not acting on behalf of their theocratic sort of principles and ideologies? they're supposed to be above that as is our department of justice. but what we -- what have we all really learned we have all learned that's not true, that we are all just basically sitting ducks to those who are in power, and if in fact like what happened with me and donald, when he gets angry at you and you are the object of

with a majority of my patience with sensitivity, i see irritated gums and weak enamel. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum health, and rehardens enamel. i'm a big advocate of recommending things that i know work. it should come as no surprise that supreme court justice clarence thomas doesn't just disregard disclosing his financial transactions as slate notes, it's evident in his rulings and hill soo dissents in two cases involving disclosure in elections. the first is lone dissent in part of the citizens united decision that paved the way for unlimited dark money in our elections. in it, justice thomas argued the court should invalidate mandatory disclosure and

reporting requirements the other was a 2010 case, where thomas argued that a law requiring names of people signing referendums be made public was harassment, prompting his real voice on the court at the time, antonin scalia, to clap back, requiring people to stand up in public for political acts fosters political courage i do not look forward to a society which thanks to the supreme court even exercises the direct democracy of initiative and referendum hidden from public scrutiny and protected from the accountability of criticism. meanwhile, today, we got another round of new reports about thomas' inability to accurately report his finances. koog to "the washington post," for two decades, thomas has reported rental income in the thousands of dollars from a real estate firm started by his wife, ginni's family, that doesn't exist or hasn't existed since 2006 but he has reported receiving between $270 and $750,000 from the firm since 2006, as rent

it follows propublica's reporting about a questional real estate deal with his billionaire right wing benefactor harlen crow who revealed crow purchased his mother's house in 2014 along with two other properties owned by thomas, which thomas did not disclose he intends to amend the disclosures to disclose to deal, where his mother lives rent free it seems to be a recurring theme that simple financial disclosure forms are too difficult for thomas when he amended his forms in 2011 when he hadn't reported $690,000 in his wife's income, he claimed it was a misunderstanding of the filing instructions after propublica divulged the extent of his vacations on his

billionaire buddy's time, he excuse was he wa doesn't have to be reported. after getting away with it for decades, he's facing even more and increasingly serious calls for investigation into his failure to report his finances that's coming up after this break. that's it. miracle-gro. all you need to know to grow. we pulled people off the street and asked them about their hearts. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? how do you know? you're driving a car you have to check engine light. but the heart doesn't have a hey check heart sign. with kardiamobile. the fda cleared a personal ekg device. you can take a medical grade ekg

revelations about crai clarence thomas, the watchdo crew has drawn similar crimina complaint against thomas, th judiciary committee member o rhode island has passed for th justice department and the attorney general to investigat his failure to report all of the goodies that he has got. emocratic chairman senator met to discuss justice thoma today. they are planning hearings i the nondisclosure for the week coming joining me now is th correspondent for the nation there will be hearings, bu justice department, you and feel the same way about what they're going to do. >> i don't feel great about th justice department doing anything, i don't really fee great about the set of judiciary committee doin

anything the thing that needs to happen right now is for thomas to hav some dignity and resign. he's basically right now sayin that he is the supreme court justice who is able to tell fo certain, what you can do wit your body and uterus, whethe thomas pulls out the wee g board, can tell whether thomas jefferson wanted you to have a ar-15. he can't fill out a form you can follow financial disclosure form. we shouldn't come to st. john' and learn some actual law if h was sitting here saying he can't fill out a form. there's a deeper level o parker see here, joy the law professor reminded m of this today. last term, justice thomas rule against a death row inmate who wanted to bring up evidence of his actual innocence the defense attorney at th time did not bring it up, an thomas said that because he di not bring up the innocence a trial, that the inmate could not use it now even though there is evidenc of his actual innocence, tha man is still sentenced to deat

row. that is the justice. he literally has a man right now said to die for not puttin something in at an earlier date that is the justice who no says, actually, i'll just amen by financial disclosure forms, it's fine. >> but he's poor he grew up poor, poor people and rich people have different sets of justice. women have different sets of justice, and we have no rights -- that manner mount to respect and they're also taking money, on the payroll you have people on this sort o cycle of grift, saying tha this guy, elias shapiro, harle crawl, unless he has business, there's nothing wrong with that former professor, he would tak a lesser black woman to replac justice breyer aside fro georgetown law other people they were defending him -- >> i didn't say his twee because he blocked me on twitter. but yes, the idea that

republicans are pushing righ now is that what thomas did is no big deal. the reason why they are pushin that is because thomas bring the victory. they are all in on the sam cahoots. everybody knows that if this was reversed, if it elliot ship euro, who as you pointe out, had said horrible thing about ketanji brown jackson. if ketanji brown jackson was taking our troops are failin to financially disclose, w would know what these people would be doing to her, doing t anybody. but it's all part of the sam republican grift thomas is unique in the leve of corruption and unethica behavior but he's not alone. out here having dinner parties the week of the hobby lobb decision, rayburn -- and thomas's boy, his hero antony scalia. where did he's die at a hunting lodge funding by rich republican donor. this is all part of the same grift. >> part of the reason that the people are questioning the

legitimacy of the court. john roberts has no control of these people, there's no dignity left in the court, few people respect the court a this point they do seem to think that the live in a different world from the rest of us they play like different rules they get to use all this money it is a big difference between saying your wife makes 600,000 as zero. he didn't make an accounting or, he's at zero, that's a admission on purpose it's corruption. >> it's corruption they know that they can ge away within. to bring it back to where yo started, about the doj, abou the senate judiciary committee the republicans know they ca get away with a. the republicans know tha nothing is going to get -- why should they follow the rules? there are no confidence fo republicans to break the rules >> let's talk about this house because you know that everybod black, you're supposed to buye mom a house. you don't let your friend, you should busted by yourself. he lost that on the issue of the hous itself, the fact that his bomb does not pay rent, that in and of itself puts that in the

justice departments feel division, and it should. it's actual graft. >> five -- plays out financial disclosure including the supreme cour justices, and having your mama live rent free in a house that you did not buy her, but you got one of your friends to buy for her, that's a textbook violation of that law. of course she should b investigated and prosecuted fo that violation, but joy, i always come back to this there is no mechanism to remov a supreme court justice othe than impeachment i like to congress, even thi congress and say, is there anybody left the hurt it has the dignity and respect for th institution to actually read the institution of one of hi most corrupt members most likely not. i like to thomas himself remember, eight forecasts, the former supreme court justice was accused of taking $20,000. just $20,000

he was the democraticall appointed justice, it was in front of a democratic congress unlike what he was going to be impeached. but he resigned. he had to resign all of the pressure on him assess that he had to resign and looking for those kinds of things to happen especially when we get to th point, remember, we're in april, about to hit decision time we're about to hit a number of 63 or five for decisions where thomas is the deciding vote on who gets writes and who does not get rights >> i think we're paying th moral price for having two out of nine members who ar credibly accused of sexual harassment all the way t sexual assault we still don't know how th 700,000 dollar debt of cabinet got paid out, paid off mysteriously so much corruption >> if you don't believe women, this is what happens >> chris hayes starts reyna. >> tonight on all in, we are here today in manhattan for on reason and one reaso
