tv Lindsey Reiser Reports MSNBC September 4, 2023 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT
12:00 pm
12:01 pm
in court wednesday including trump's former white house chief of staff. more on the legal deadline they're up against. in nevada, tens of thousands trapped at the burning man festival might soon find a way out. what is happening to make that possible? and the new rumors officials are debunking that have raised concerns about the health of festival goers. and here in manhattan, there will be thousands of new migrant students joining classes when the semester starts in just three days. how the city is handling the influx, and helping children find their footing this fall. we begin in fulton county, georgia, ahead of another whirlwind week for former president donald trump and his 18 codefendants. for some the clock is ticking on the next step of this legal process, waive arraignment and make a plea or show up to court in person on wednesday. mark meadows and john eastman are among the seven who have yet to make their movements known ahead of that approaching deadline. as for the former president, you won't see him at the fulton county courthouse wednesday. his legal team waived his
12:02 pm
arraignment, and he pleaded not guilty to all charges last week. i want to bring in nbc's justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, glenn kirschner, and former republican congressman from florida and an msnbc political analyst, david jolly. ken, is there any insight into the movement of the other seven codefendants? >> good afternoon, lindsay. we have no reason to believe that these remaining seven codefendants will do anything other than waive arraignment and enter the plea or show up for some reason if they want to show up in person and do it in person. an arraignment is a formality. these folks are out on bond and a condition of their bond is to show up in court. what's going to be interesting next week is to see how that federal judge decides whether mark meadows is successful in removing this case or at least his case, his part of the case to federal court. that's going to be an interesting decision, and then we're still watching this juggling of schedules where some of these defendants want to go
12:03 pm
to trial, sooner rather than later, as soon as this fall. some of them want to sever from others, and donald trump wants to delay this thing as long as possible. all of this will be playing out in the coming weeks. >> ahead of wednesday, what are you watching for? >> so i think, lindsay, over the course of the next week or perhaps couple of weeks, the legal landscape is going to clear up a bit with respect to who's going to go to trial first, and how many trials might there be. a couple of the defendants, i believe kenneth chesebro and sidney powell have already indicated they're going to demand their speedy trial rights, which means they will likely go to trial together at the end of october. other defendants have yet to make that choice, whether they want to assert their speedy trial rights, and if they do, i suspect they will be batched together with chesebro and powell with the late october trial date or do you want to waive your speedy trial rights and perhaps be in waive to going
12:04 pm
to trial well down the road if the defense teams believe their clients need more time to prepare. so i do think it's going to come into sharper focus, how many trials we're going to have, and how the defendants might end up being batched together in these trials. >> quick, you have kenneth chesebro who some might say is the master find of the fraudulent electors scheme, and then you have sidney powell who of course in some of the paperwork, trump himself is being, you know, basically saying some of her ideas are crazy. would it help or hurt them to be lumped into a case together? >> you know, i don't know that it would help them to be lumped together, but here's what i suspect they're going to do, lindsay, because i have had to try large codefendant cases where they had to split them up into a series of trials. what they will do is likely assert what we call the empty chair defense. i can almost hear chesebro's lawyer arguing, you know what, my client may have doodled some things about alternate electors, but you know what, he was
12:05 pm
listening to the sound advice of defendant john eastman, the person who should be sitting in that empty chair right there. he was the dean of the law school. he was a constitutional scholar, and he was saying that this elector thing is on sound legal footing. don't punish my client, kenneth chesebro for listening to bad advice from a law school dean, i can see sidney powell doing the same thing, blaming rudy giuliani, who should be sitting in the empty chair next to her as the guy who was really saying, we have plenty of evidence of fraud and don't punish my client for rudy giuliani's bad behavior. it doesn't often work but i have seen that kind of an argument resonate with a juror, and they're just playing for one juror because they're looking for a hung jury. >> congressman, donald trump's campaign announced in an e-mail friday they surpassed their august fundraising goal set as his exact mug shot bail number.
12:06 pm
does the fact that the fulton county trial be televised hurt his ability to message off of this? >> look, it's an unknown. at this point, i don't think so. i think anything related to his being charged or indicted is helping him. now, the question would be, what if are the dynamic changes, what could those dynamics be. one is, what is the ultimate disposition of mark meadows, between the fulton county case and the jack smith case, we have some reasons to wonder, is mark meadows willing to cooperate? what information is he providing. one dynamic that could hurt donald trump is someone as close as mark meadows to the president ultimately to save his own freedom does give indicting testimony of donald trump. the other is what about the other 18 codefendants in georgia? those would be all republicans and are for their own defenses they all begin to say, donald trump ultimately did this. or instructed us to do this. the final dynamic is an intriguing one, what happens if
12:07 pm
chesebro get a speedy trial and get acquitted. how does that change the dynamic for donald trump in the national conversation. those are all unknowns today. >> the special grand jury report from fulton county is expected to drop friday. what can we potentially learn from that. >> that's right, lindsay, and there was a special grand jury before the grand jury convened. parts of the report have been released. what we're going to see is the part that recommended charges against individuals, and there may be people they recommended being charged who weren't actually charged. those people will have a chance to ask the judge to redact their names, and we'll watch to see when that happens, and we'll learn other interesting elements of the case, and the vote of the grand jury. how strongly those grand jurors believe this individual should be charged. something to watch for next week, lindsay.
12:08 pm
>> could this special grand jury report give lawyers big clues when it comes to fani willis's case? >> i don't think so, and i don't want to be a wet blanket, because i look forward to reading the underacketed report of the special grand jury. i have a feeling most of what we see in there, we have already seen in district attorney fani willis's speaking indictment. there may be a couple of surprises as ken mentioned, maybe some names of people that we didn't see show up in the indictment. but i think it's going to be a largely duplicative of what we already learned from the indictment. >> glenn, another top lawmaker, congressman adam schiff is making the case that the 14th amendment should disqualify trump from holding office. let's listen to what he told my colleague, jen psaki. >> the 14th amendment, section 3 is clear, if you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government or give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running. it doesn't require you be convicted of insurrection, it requires that you have engaged
12:09 pm
in these acts. it's a disqualification from holding office again, and it fits donald trump to a t. >> is there a case to be made here? >> there certainly is, and these are cases that are going to end up in court. you know, legal scholars left and right are lining up behind the position, the interpretation of the constitution that donald trump is already disqualified by operation of section 3 of the 14th amendment just as he would be disqualified if he was only 34 years old or not a natural born citizen. and, you know, the authors of that really detailed excellent law review article say that all that is left to do is for the people who are in a position to either put somebody's name on a presidential ballot or decline put somebody's name on a presidential ballot, all they are left to do is follow the constitution, and decline to put donald trump's name on the ballot. lindsay, that will undoubtedly inspire litigation. i think whether the name goes on
12:10 pm
the ballot or doesn't, it's going to inspire litigation, and hen these challenges are going to be resolved in the courts. >> congressman, we've got new nbc news reporting from my colleague, sahil kapur, that he's trying to change strategy and redraw his portrait, president biden, ahead of 2024. this is what he says, during their first showdown, donald trump disparaged joe biden as a sleepy guy in the basement of a house who's barely aware of his surroundings. now facing four criminal indictments and gearing up for a rematch, the former president is changing course to depict his skes sor as a nefarious master mind who's pulling the strings of a complex justice system without leaving any finger prints. will voters buy it? >> not if they spot the projection. we know about donald trump, usually when he makes an accusation, there's some truisms about his own behavior, and personality, but this narrative of the biden crime family, the words of republicans and fox news does hold tight within the
12:11 pm
republican constituency. i think the intriguing thing is neither one of those takes by donald trump approach policies, and that's where joe biden and democrats are in a favorable position this election cycle. they can talk about domestic policies that are lifting all americans in health care and education, the economy, industry, donald trump wants to wrangle over his own personal jeopardy issues and try to blame joe biden for the deep state. joe biden's got a strong message on how he's helping americans, donald trump just on how he's trying to help himself. >> our team on the ground talked to one republican who voted for trump twice, but isn't planning to this go around because of the charges. listen. >> i think he's not the right person for the job anymore. i think he destroyed his chances. i thought he did a good job as president for the first three years. and what happened after the
12:12 pm
election i think he's wrong about. he may or may not have violated the law, but i think it would be dangerous to have him come back as president. >> this is one person, but we have heard several people in new hampshire who have said several things. is this sort of a microcosm of the new hampshire vote right now? >> it may be new hampshire. it's fascinating this disconnect, the qualitative, you read through the logical electoral conclusion, there's too much baggage for donald trump, and perhaps he should focus on his own legal jeopardy. the problem is that's a minority voter in today's republican party. donald trump has over 50% of the party. when every other candidate on the debate stage, basically every other candidate raises their hand and says i'll support donald trump as a criminal convict. how do i make the case that the voters shouldn't. that new hampshire voter recognizing the moment but a majority of republicans have yet to recognize that. >> ken dilanian, glenn
12:13 pm
kirschner, thank you so much. striking down the congressional map, why the plan is being called unconstitutional. we're back in 60 seconds. unconstitutional we're back in 60 seconds (ella) fashion moves fast. setting trends is our business. we need to scale with customer demand... ...in real time. (jen) so we partner with verizon to take our operations to the next level. (marquis) with a custom private 5g network. (ella) with verizon business, we get more control of production, efficiencies, and greater agility. (marquis) so our customers get what they want,
12:14 pm
when they want it. (jen) it's not just a network. it's enterprise intelligence. (vo) learn more. it's your vision, it's your verizon. in florida a circuit judge has struck down a redistricting plan pushed by governor desan is. judge lee marsh sided with a voting rights group who challenged the republicans' redistricting map saying it violates state and federal constitution by diminishing protections for black voters. the map will go back to the legislature to be redrawn in a way that complies with florida's laws. the ruling is widely expected to be appealed by the state likely putting the case before the florida supreme court. joining us from miami is nbc's marissa parra, and former republican congressman from florida and msnbc political analyst, david jolly is back with us. this ruling centers around florida's fifth district. we're going to show you here on
12:15 pm
map, the blue sliver at the top of the old florida map carved up in the new desantis one. where do things stand? >> reporter: certainly both sides here hoping to expedite this as quickly as possible in time for the 2024 election. let's start with the district you just mentioned, district 5, at the center of the lawsuit, and at the center of the conclusion written by the judge that we were able to read this weekend. last year, governor ron desantis did something that's unprecedented for a governor. he redrew the map that previously existed. you see that on the screen there. he called a special session and used his veto power to make sure the map was implemented. the black representative in the district, his name is al lawson, his district was carved up. his constituents splintered across new districts that are historically right leaning areas. lawson did not win reelection. he lost by 20 votes.
12:16 pm
what you have is where in this region we had black floridians that had previously had representation by people, by a person that they voted for. they're now represented by a white congressman instead. voting groups sued saying this is a violation of federal and state voting rights protections that were specifically put in place for black floridian voters. now, this morning we had a chance to speak with an organization that has been offering support for the plaintiffs in this case that we have been talking about. take a listen for yourself. >> the thing that continues to get lost in these cases is that those voters deserve representation, and that's what specifically governor desantis's map took away from them, and that's what legislature admitted it took away from them, and so i think what we're dealing with now is a reality in which a court system is stepping in to say this is unconstitutional against florida law. >> reporter: so, lindsay, what we saw here is this circuit court judge ended up ruling in favor of these voting rights
12:17 pm
groups on saturday. and they ordered that the state draw up a new map, but everyone of course trying to expedite what comes next in time for the 2024 elections, and this will be a key part of that, lindsay. >> what's the reaction you're hearing to this ruling, marissa? >> reporter: yeah, so we've reached out to the different groups here. we have not heard from anyone in the desantis camp here. but we do expect them to appeal this. we expect the state to appeal this, and if they do, their deadline is today, this would then go to the state supreme court. the reaction is pretty much what you would expect by the voting rights group. they're celebrating what we heard on saturday as a win. however, keep in mind, this is far from over. we mentioned how the next step, if this does get appealed will go to the state supreme court, there are conservative desantis appointed judges on that court. this could swing back in the opposite direction. we mentioned that deadline to appeal is today.
12:18 pm
remember, when we talk about the greater scope of this, the big picture, this is justice one fight of many fights happening, when it comes to redistricting. this is happening in southern states. this is happening in states like alabama, georgia. georgia has a trial that's happening tomorrow. big picture, we know that the house of representatives have a very narrow leave, so this could play a key role in the balance of power coming up, lindsay. >> marissa parra, thank you for the reporting. really an unprecedented move, desantis interjected himself into the redistricting process by vetoing the republican-dominated legislature's map asking for a more extreme one. we heard marissa talking about swinging the other way. did that backfire? >> it very well might. desantis wants this fight, and this goes back about two years. this is a supermajority republican legislature that desantis used to veto their maps and the republican speaker at the time said something very
12:19 pm
intriguing. he said the legislature drew the maps in accordance with the constitution. that ultimately is at the root of this. governor desantis believes in something called race neutral district lines that race should be not be a consideration. for over 50 years, federal courts are wrestled with this issue, how much consideration should race be given in drawing district lines. ron desantis thinks the answer is zero. the state supreme court will likely side with the desantis administration, simply ecause he's appointed most of the judges. you could see a federal case out of this, where he wants to test his conviction about race neutral lines. it quiets and reduces representation of the black community in the state of florida, and if the trend were to take hold, across the country. >> we just saw the supreme court
12:20 pm
lift ago hold on a case involving redistricting in louisiana, increasing the likelihood that the state would be required to create a second congressional district that empowering black voters. what are the politics of republican legislatures at large overreaching after the most recent census. >> you know, they're reaching for power, and in some ways you could say ron desantis's maps gave congress republican control. you could also make that case in the state of new york, but those two states, you saw enough seats flip, so they are reaching for power. they're getting their hands slapped. the jurisprudence around this, have we now reached a point in american history, modern day history where we no longer have to worry about the disparate income on the african-american community and other communities around the country. the courts entered the era where they're floating the idea of maybe so but not quite. you see republican drawn maps,
12:21 pm
the courts are requiring them to give certain deference to make sure you have diverse representation. >> former congressman, david jolly, thanks for the conversation. chaos in the desert, what was supposed to be a festival of sun and celebration of art has turned into a muddy mess. are the 70,000 attendees any closer to getting out? an update from black rock city next. g out? an update from black rock city next can't stop adding stuff to your cart? get the bank of america customized cash rewards card, choose the online shopping category and earn 3% cash back.

few hours allowing the 70,000 people trapped in the muddy desert to begin making their exit. the festival is urging against panic, dismissing rumors about spreading illnesses and asking attendees to wait until tuesday to leave in hopes of avoiding traffic congestion. the roads are too muddy for most to travel. despite the quick sand like conditions and alkaline levels in the black rock desert, some people are walking out on their own, marching hours through the mud until they find a car and nearby town. waste free clean up is one of burning man's core principles, some say they couldn't help leaving some belongings behind. >> we had a lot of mud wrestling. it was fun, but we ended up having to leave our truck and trailer there so we could make it back into town to our other kids. >> nbc's liz is on the ground in the desert, what are you seeing.
12:27 pm
>> reporter: the weather is cooperating, it's cleared up. the mud is starting to dry up, and burning man organizers have now said that the exodus can get underway. we're going to start seeing several thousands of people try to make their way out of burning man, black rock city, 3 miles from where we are here at entrance to burning man, and even during normal good years with great weather, it can take several hours to get from black rock city to right here at the entrance. the closest paved road. and this is now not even dealing with the mud situation we have here. one official told me that while some areas in camp have dried up, there are other areas that still are very wet and muddy. so it is still a concern, but organizers have been trying to do the best they can to help people out. they've had cell phone and wi-fi portable stations set up for people. they've had rangers going from camp site to camp site to get people information. they even had a wet security guy

nbc's george solis is in pennsylvania. so, george, what are local investigators saying today? >> reporter: yeah, lindsay, i got a few updates. that video surveillance that was shown, that's just one of multiple sightings according to multiple authorities. they now have four, in this heavily wooded area, looking for those five days. they have also announced that they are authorized to use deadly force if he doesn't actively surrender. so some really important details there. they're also playing a recording, believe it or not, of his mother's voice, asking for him to come and basically turn himself in, from choppers, as well as from patrol cars. meanwhile, as you can see behind me, roads are still closed here. so officials keep making sure that this community stays safe. of course it's a bit of a disruption for people coming home from the holiday weekend. many are stopping, getting their trunks searched. officials taking no chances. this is a two mile radius around the prison he escaped from.
12:36 pm
official have not said how he managed to escape from the prison. the disruption to the community only expected to grow especially if this goes into another day. this is the end of the holiday weekend. people are coming home. officials telling the residents here if they notice anything that is out of place to immediately call them because the last thing they want is for this to get ugly. they are worried that he might be able to find some resources within a home. this is a very tight knit community, and a lot of people don't bother locking their doors. this has been a complete disruption. people telling me they're not sure if they're going to go back to work, have their kids return to classes tomorrow, because they're so unnerved by how long the man hunt has been taking, that has contributed to a lot of sleepless nights from residents, not just the noise but the fear that the guy could be lurking in their backyard. officials pretty confident he is somewhere in the 2 mile radius. and that is why they have focused their attention to this area, two miles from the chester county prison. official says they want people
12:37 pm
to stay patient, be vigilant, and they hope that this comes to a peaceful resolution soon, lindsay. >> playing a reporting of his mother pleading for him to turn himself in from choppers and cop cars. . george, thank you so much. another gender reveal stunt goes wrong and the terrifying moment was caught on camera when a small plane in mexico lost control during the big reveal, crashing nearby. nbc's erin mclaughlin has more. >> reporter: the terrifying moments caught on camera as a gender reveal party in san pedro, mexico, turned deadly. video shows a small plane flying quickly past the parents to be, letting them know a baby girl is on the way, but seconds later, just as the crowd begins to celebrate, the aircraft suddenly shoots up. its left wing appears to give out. the plane then spiraling out of control, eventually crashing into the ground. the expecting couple and other

12:45 pm
school year which begins this week. while the city says 19,000 new students living in temporary housing, many of them migrants have enrolled since july of 2022, mayor eric adams says there's no way to be sure how many more there are this school year. >> we don't know the exact number because this is a moving target. >> reporter: at this recent event organized by the new immigrant community empowerment organization, migrant families picked up free backpacks and got information about the new school year. we asked her daughter how she felt about starting a new school in a new country? are you scared? she said, this is new for her because it's not the same as it was in venezuela, and she's afraid she won't be accepted for who she is.
12:46 pm
meanwhile, with every new migrant that enrolls, some parents are rung out of patience, while schools are running out of room. on new york's upper west side we spoke with navid both have kids, and have seen resources cut. >> we have a library that is no longer. there are no books in there. it's being used as a occupational therapy. we have teachers that are sitting the entire day in closets. >> reporter: where do your frustrations lie? >> i want to see being done from a city level, a state level. >> reporter: are you worried that as a result of all of this your own children will fall behind academically? >> yes and no. it's unfair that my kid doesn't have a s.t.e.a.m. room where he can do hands on science projects and creative art rooms that keep him engaged throughout the day. >> reporter: nyc's chancellor david banks says more help is on the way. >> we committed an additional $110 million to address immediate requirements for all
12:47 pm
of our schools. >> reporter: have you ever blamed the asylum seekers? >> they're not the problem. the problem is we are not equipped to help them, and we should be. >> reporter: parents from near and far, just hoping for a better future for their kids. >> joining me right now, coanchor for pbs news hour and msnbc political contributor, aniyah navas, and basil smikle, when it comes to whether this is a city, a state, a federal fix, where does the onus lie, or is it a combined effort? >> anyone you talk to who works on the front lines of this issue says the only way for it to work effectively is if that burden is shared. what you see right here with mayor adams expressing concerns about his city's capability, in particular the school system, this is not unlike what we're hearing from city and local leaders across the country as we've seen in particular the number of migrant families arriving at the southern border tick up in recent months, and remember those families don't stay at the border.
12:48 pm
they often arrive there, they transit through and then they end up going into communities across the country where they often find community. this is a story as old as america itself. because the families arriving are now coming from further afield, no longer from mexico and central america but places like venezuela and brazil, and haiti, and india, and russia, they're often traveling on to other parts of america where they have existing communities of support. now, that said, what you're seeing in new york is the kind of whole of government effort a lot of advocates point to that could potentially work. governor hochul asking for expedited work permits so families can support themselves and aren't reliant on public funds, housing money, getting the state legislature to allocate more money for new york but the school piece of this is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. you heard that young girl there get upset when talking about what to expect this school year. these children have already been through the unimaginable on the
12:49 pm
weeks or month's long journey that it took for them to arrive in the united states and their ultimate city, and that school piece can be both crucial to their well being, and also to feeling settled in some way while they're asylum cases unfold, which can take many many months, but, again, new york is not alone here, and again and again this cannot be treated as a city by city or municipality by municipality program, there has to be a whole of government, and more communication as well! basil, we are talking about the largest school district in the nation, you have some familiarity with how it works, is enough being done? >> well, i think a lot is being done, and to separate this from the larger humanitarian issue, i shouldn't do that, but there's this larger humanitarian issue that i think was said that it's correct that it needs to be a more -- a broader approach in every level of government, but if we deal specifically with the pedagogical issues here, in terms of the number of deaths, i
12:50 pm
think the school system is able to accommodate the students. they have had a loss of 20,000 students, there's been a decline in enrollment. i think the desks are available. the key issue here is for the teachers, e and new language te which in working with the teachers union, the school's chancellor, who has been a friend of mine, full disclosure, for a number of years, he will acknowledge that he has to work to try to make sure that these teachers do become available for those students. so the language issues, they present a bit of a short-term problem, as will the other support services that these students need. some of the political controversies deal with things like immunizations. there's been a relaxation of that requirement, and i know that some parents and teachers are concerned about that as well as the residency not requirement
12:51 pm
but the acknowledgment of where you live or where you're staying. the governor and the attorney general made it clear that they should relax those restrictions because of these migrants. that is probably not going to be as much of an issue in new york city, but it might be in upstate new york where you have communities, districts that really do not have the resources to be able to accommodate this influx of students. pedagogically, i do think in new york city one of the big issues in the short-term is going to be teachers able to instruct these students who speak as many as 15 different languages. >> yeah, and there was already a shortage of those workers. we know the lack of immigration reform is contributing to the problem. how much longer can cities deal with this before congress acts? >> if you ask city leaders, not very long. this is jump a patchwork of band-aids being placed in communities across the country to try to fix what is, let's be honest, a decades long problem. i say this every time we have a
12:52 pm
conversation about immigration. we have not had meaningful immigration reform in this nation for over three decades. and the problem continues to grow, issues continue to be more complicated, and let's be clear, lindsey, i know you and i have talked about this before, immigration is not just an issue or a challenge here in the united states. this is a global issue with climate change and the climate crisis, insecurity worldwide, and a number of conflicts this different regions pushing people to flee their homes. this is not a uniquely american problem, but the solutions here have remained tied up in political fighting and a lot of gridlock there. so there's no big solutions in sight, but everyone you talk to who actually works on any part of this agrees there needs to be meaningful reform and a whole of government approach if these issues are to be handled, and they agree that they can be if the will is there. >> we'll have to leave it there, thank you. history at the u.s. open, american tennis player coco
