break some breaking news to you and it's free. download duckduck and that is that cocoa -- has opened the u.s. open at the age of 19. >> not only did i not have my phone, open but i sought on acts happened. what a moment. but an athlete. >> incredible woman, an incredible game. i just caught a little bit of it in my office today before the show today, but i encourage you to watch the highlights today. >> on my way home right now. >> thank you, my, friends enjoy the rest of your. evening good evening to you, welcome to ayman. we have some breaking news out of morocco this hour. unfortunately, tragically thousands are dead after a deadly 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck near the city of marrakech. we will have the update in just a moment on that tragedy. plus, a major win for prosecutors in georgia as a judge rules against mark meadows. but that could be a huge setback for donald trump. and senator tuberville's

blockade, his colleagues won't call him out, but those who actually served well. i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. we start overseas with the powerful earthquake which has killed more than 2000 people, injuring more than 2000 others in morocco's southern region. search and rescue teams are still reaching some of the most affected areas, many of which are remote in mountains as we see that staggering death toll continue to rise. sky news correspondent adam parsons is in marrakech. >> then marrakech is having to come to terms with its burden of grief and also the chaos that has followed this natural disaster. and there's still real fear about what could happen. here's a very good example of that nervousness, this restaurant behind me which badly damaged by the earthquake on friday night, but it only actually collapsed hours and

hours later. it's that nervousness that's affecting so many people here. it's why you see hundreds sleeping rough because they are fearful that buildings and their homes might yet collapse. marrakech is a huge city, it's a tourist capital of the medina here, it's a famous cultural site. and we've seen the buildings there have fallen to the ground. this is a unesco protected city. so very hard to make those ancient buildings earthquake proof. but we ran up to the airport and we saw military planes that have been bringing people back from the worst affected areas. it's a group just up there, a helicopter that was about to take off and try to shuttle people but that is still the big question here. those villages up in the mountains are very, very hard to get to at the best of times.

now of course, those roads have been damaged. we simply don't know how many more people have been injured or killed up there in the atlas mountains. morocco has declared three days of national mourning for this tragedy that has happened and is having to come to terms with it and cope with the ramifications. >> our thanks to skies adam parsons for that. of course, we will keep an eye on what's happening in morocco. we will bring you updates over the next several hours as we get them. we do want to switch gears now following several major developments in fulton county, fani willis's attention attempts by donald trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. that's been up to speed with some of those. a major win for prosecutors on friday, a judge denied mark meadows's bid to move his case to federal court saying that he failed to prove his actions at

the time of the alleged conspiracy. we're not part of his duties as a government official. u.s. district judge, steve see jones said, state prosecutors, quote, put forth evidence that had various points at the time of the alleged conspiracy, what else worked with the trump campaign which he admitted was outside of the rule of white house chief of staff. meadows says he plans to appeal but the decision is also a major setback for the ex president himself. who was hoping to jump on the federal court bandwagon. on friday, the judge overseeing the racketeering case, he may seek to have the prosecution to federal court. if the cases, moved trump would have the opportunity to argue that the charges should be dismissed because his actions fell under his duties as president. we're gonna learn more about that possible request in the coming weeks, trump has within 20 days of his arraignment waiver which he submitted on august 21st to file the motion. and another fulton county news,

former trump lawyer kevin chesbrough, one of 19 defendants who -- to dismiss the r.i.c.o. charges against him. the motion follows a wednesday court reading that -- extra mppoa lawyer, sydney powell's mission, for separate trials. tasman and powell are said to go to trial to gather on october 23rd which is another major win for georgia prosecutors. but, at that hearing which we were able to watch unfold live on camera for the first time, the judge said he remained, quote, very skeptical, very single trial for all 19 defendants would even be feasible, especially considering that some defendants like chesebro and powell have invoked the right to a speedy trial while others have not. capping off a week packed with pretrial developments, we finally got our hands on a long awaited report from the georgia special grand jury that essentially tasked with investigating the effort last.

here i'll tell you what the major top line. was recommendations for the indictment of more than three dozen people, including 21 who were not charged by d.a. fani willis. among the 21 individual, some names you may recognize. people like michael flynn who was of course trump's national security adviser. former georgia republican senators, david perdue and kelly loeffler. they were both in office at the time of the 2020 election. most notably senator lindsey graham, the current senator, republican senator, south carolina. here is his reaction to that report yesterday. reaction t>> what i did was cont with my job as being united states senator, chairman of the judiciary committee. we were open up pandora's box and i think the system of this country is getting off the rails, we have to be careful not to use the legal system as a political tool. >> again, senator graham and

these other individuals were not charged by fani willis in the racketeering conspiracy indictment handed down last month. but clearly the panel believe there was sufficient evidence to include them in the recommendation. here to break down that whirlwind week of developments, david henderson, a silva rights attorney. he's also an msnbc contributor. renitta shannon, a former democratic state representative, and jonathan alter -- substack old g.o.a.t. with jonathan alter. it's good to have all three of you with us. david, with start with the significance of this meadows ruling. how much of a chance does he have on appeal and how do you think trump's legal team is handling the news considering that he was making a play for similar move? >> this is one of the situations where it's like slim to none and some didn't come to town. i don't think has a good shot on peel. but this really means for the forthcoming battle for former

president trump and everyone involved in this case is when the key arguments they were hoping they could make -- in the state of georgia and that's a mistake of law versus mistook a fact. the example here is if you get involved in a situation where a guy bought a bag of oregano that turned out to be marijuana. it's not the best defense but you could say, hey, i thought it was oregano. that's nonstick effect. that's a defense in georgia. but you can't say is, hey, i knew it was we'd but it's legal in my states whether it was legal here. even to the extent to say my lawyer said was the goal so i thought was legal here, it's not a defense in georgia. that's what they're losing when they can transfer this case to federal court which if meadows couldn't do it, i don't think any of them can. >> interesting. representative shannon, if some defendants accident having their cases moved to federal court even if it's a remote possibility, one quart difference will be the lack of cameras in the courtroom. how important is it for the american people to watch this trial unfold in this entirety?

>> i think it's extremely important, i think your coverage is extremely important as other media that's covering the indictment because when you look at the interviews that's coming from some people that have been indicted even those that have not been indicted, they're saying things like, i was asking questions, can't people have questions about elections. they're saying that they were unfairly indicted and they are banking -- betting on the fact that they think the general public will not read the indictment and will just take them at the work that they are being unfairly prosecuted. so having this case be televised here, which is what the decision was for georgia, who allowed the general public to understand that these people are not being unfairly charged, they did a lot more than they were saying they did and they are trying to have a move to federal court so they don't have to face the scrutiny of the general public who through a court case will surely learn why they were indicted. >> jonathan, why does the wind for these prosecutors -- on public opinion? just seeing the actual workings

of the legal system played on realtime actually change peoples minds? >> while the polls show that people's reaction to a possible conviction quite different from the reaction to an indictment. so the question here is not about what happens with trump's base, there -- on fifth avenue as well. but the independents hold the balance of power in any presidential election. they're up for grabs. and the news this week we can switch -- argument that trump is making. think about people like lindsey graham, michael flynn, who are not indicted. fani willis decided that she was not going to indict a large number of people because there wasn't enough evidence to convince a jury. that means that she is very confident that for the people she didn't died including the former president, she does have

enough evidence. this is not an indiscriminate prosecution. it's not a witch hunt. she's being very methodical deciding which cases have enough evidence and who has a chance of being convicted. d >> david, let me get your thoughts on the grand jury report and i think a lot of people are wondering, despite you believe willis declined to indict 21 individuals despite the fact that charges were recommended by special grand jury? why did she decide 19 and not these 21, and i guess ultimately, does that undermine the -- but these other 19 are charged? for >> it doesn't undermine what the other 19 are charged with, but it shows you that fani -- what she's accused of doing. that's just charging everyone she possibly could with everything she possibly could. the reason why is you have to remember the prosecutors have to exercise discretion in terms of what charges they actually bring and one of the things we

haven't discussed a lot is the incredible lift that's involved with these cases. these cases occupy a significant amount of days willis time and they will for the next couple of years. but one of the things it took me a long time to get used to was how many cases we had were terrible things happened where we had to prosecute. if you stop and think that the teachers candle case took eight months to try and it hug -- and this case is gonna have. there's no way this case is going to take at least a year, and every time it's letters, it has more time it's gonna occupy. she has to be smart about where she is going to bring charges. >> interesting, representative shannon, as i mentioned there are several u.s. senators listed in that report including two former senators from your state. that means some of their own constituents but these lawmakers should be indicted. what do you make of that? >> i think that people were really paying attention to the evidence and we're paying

attention to what these two were doing. and i think that makes the point that i was making before, most of these people are saying, hey, this is ridiculous candidate behavior where questions are asked after the election. i can tell you after having been a former candidate several times, you're allowed to call the secretary of state's office and say, hey, are how many outstanding ballots are there -- are they overseas? ballots from the military, for example? are they ballots that need to be cured and have the opportunity by voters to cure the ballots? that's not what folks like lindsey graham did or kelly loeffler, or perdue. they were calling and asking things like, can you throw out counties that have higher discrepancies and signature match? can you just throw out all the absentee ballots? those aren't typical questions that a candidate or anyone who was involved in a campaign would be asking. and i think that even the they individuals who are part of the grand jury just hearing that information with no experience of ever being a candidate, even they were able to see that this

was not normal behavior. it's the reason why these folks were mentioned for potential indictment. >> jonathan, if day fani willis did have her hands full this, week she now has to deal with jim jordan congressman jim jordan. she blasted him over his inquiry into her indictment of trump, accusing him of overstepping his congressional authority. in fact she wrote in a letter, your job description as a legislator does not include criminal law enforcement, nor does it include supervising up specific criminal troubles because you believe doing so will promote your partisan political objectives. she really brought it down on jim jordan. he is not what -- his desperate interference attempts. has his congressmen met his match and d.a. willis? and is he in fact over region and overstepping his role as a legislator? >> he's clearly overstepping his role, and she's a formidable woman. it's great to see her prove it.

and this is something a lot of people who have been targets of these maga shots have learned from. politics is a combat sport. she's a politician, she's an elected official. it's perfectly fine for her to russian back. i don't think any of this is of any great consequence. however, i do feel like there's something else that happened very recently that came under the radar. keep an eye on the small fry. read small fry georgia officials. david schaffer, and kathleen the for. why don't mention their names? they all petition to judge and they were just operating in the direction of the president of the united states when they made false statements and falsified papers, killing

themselves electors when they were not. they were fake electors and they said the president told them to do it. if they testified to that effect, they are in big trouble for donald trump. >> david, as a former prosecutor yourself, obviously that's not a legitimate defense. we've seen that go all the way back to the nuremberg trials, when use of the government just because you're asked to do or engage in criminal activity, you can't just say, hey, my boss told me to do. it >> that's not a good defense. we have to consider in the situation is what you're also acknowledging when you say that your boss told you to do with -- the elements that that to that testimony or part of the crime you've been charged with. here so it's easy to forget that rico is a law that's designed to catch people that the law system otherwise could not catch. and what we're gonna see this case as it develops is that what we've forgotten -- what -- continuing as a candidate to

spread all the charges, pretty forget is, when his folks go to court, they lose and they lose huge. that's what all the litigation has become about, they lose huge as it starts happening, as people start getting nervous about house gun affect them each of their 19, you're gonna start to see to splinter. >> panel question to you about the politics in georgia, just how much of an impact is this going to have on the republican party, for some of us as outside observers, the state is in shambles in terms of the civil war that brian kemp or is bringing against donald trump in the back acolytes, but at the same time there are still people there that very much support donald trump. >> that's having a huge effect on the republican party and republicans in georgia. because if you live in georgia in the last decade, you've seen what's happened as far as the republicans moving into more of the party of trump. recently we saw that brian kemp

decided he was not gonna go to jail for donald trump and overturn the election. and he actually survived reelection while casting trump aside and not doing trump's bidding. so right now we have happening with this case going on is that many are wanted brian kemp to do more. like they want senior republicans to do more to help trump, but these folks have already proven that they can get reelected without being on the side of trump. so this is really having a huge. affect the whole thing is really interesting. i would say for the national republican party because when you look at, a trump campaign not making america great again. he didn't happen. he campaign and said that the country would be so sick of winning once he was president. that didn't happen. what he has succeeded at is -- running up legal bills for. them >> and losing. as johnson said in new hampshire, he's losing. thanks so much for being here, david,, jonathan stick.

found himself once again warning trump against president's failed social media site. in a court filing tuesday, smith said trump's postings has the potential to take the jury pool in his election interference case. and -- judge tanya chutkan and openly mop the idea that she could be fair in his case. and in a later post, he attacks smith with -- insane aggression. smith is also making it clear that his election interference investigation is far from over. according to new reporting from cnn, he is zeroing in on how money raised based on false claims of voter fraud was used to fund a tends to tamper with voting equipment and states that joe biden had won.

and david henderson and jonathan alter are back with me. let's talk about the latest concerns about the jury pool as a former prosecutor. to what extent do you share jack smith sphere, and if this keeps happening, at what point does judge chuck kid tried to do something about it, and what can she do? >> keep in mind, the tools that lawyers used don't always reflect what they're thinking when they use them. so what jack smith is really focused on here is the fact that former president trump is violating the conditions of his bail. bail is a contract between the defendant and the judge to behave yourself until your trial and testing to show up and we have a trial. typically, you have one testify ladies conditions before you're incarcerated pending her trial. so projects that doing is documenting the fact that former president donald trump is in violation. regarding the jury pool, i don't imagine who hasn't already heard about, this was

gonna her about it through these means, i don't think that's big of a concern. but what will happen here is judge chutkan bowl hold him to the trial date and it will be, since you're seeing all those things actually not to, say let's give you your trial before you tank the potential jury pool. >> jonathan, you have to look at this from the perspective of trump's voice because they must be in a lot of pain. in one way, he continues his inflammatory comments on social media that have long been his hallmark, and at the same time, they want him to be quiet so that he does not jeopardize his legal standing with what is happening in the court and compromise the defense of the trial, of the client? >> what trump wants is his lawyers to stage a political defense, like they're chicago seven defendants in 1969. where the defendant themselves as a political argument. the problem is, that doesn't serve him very well in court. but if his lawyers don't go along with his water down

approach, he'll fire them. so he's fought caught between two different strategies, and he's not gonna be able to execute either one of them effectively. so i think in terms of the ongoing investigation, basically, it looks like some of these coconspirators who as yet -- jackson at preserves the right to indictment in the future, they are on very thin ice. he is looking into whether they transfer money that they raise from the public into illegal efforts to tamper with voting equipment in georgia, pennsylvania, and michigan. that's a very serious charge. so if you're one of those defendants, possibly a defendant in the georgia case, still not indicted in federal case, you might be thinking,

maybe i'll get a better flip where i'm looking at serious jail time. the president is not looking at jail time. in a normal case, yes, he would be jailed in court, but as a practical matter, he can't be. they can't house the secret service in jail and all the rest of it. so if he's convicted as punishment, is likely to be house arrest. it's conceivable that judge chutkan, if he continues to violate the -- law of his bail, could be subjected to house arrest. that's still possible. >>, divots new cnn reporting reveals that smith is investigating trump with an emphasis on fundraising, and how it's used to support breaches of the voting equipment that jonathan was talking about. and the resources that are saying prosecutors have focus their questions on the role of sydney powell, trump's ex lawyer. and the fact that she hired forensics firms to access voting equipment in four swing

states. where do you think this could go? >> i think what jack smith is doing is he's using the best tools that prosecutors have and that is pressure. i think this will go towards putting an incredible amount of pressure on sydney powell. keep in mind, when i'm referring to their lack of success in court, thus far, sydney powell and rudy giuliani, they have both gotten in trouble because courts have basically told them, bar associations have said, you've told mistruths so many different times that you're in danger of us pulling your license away. it happened to giuliani, they try to do it to powell in texas. that puts a lot of pressure in and of itself. now she's also facing prosecution in georgia, potential federal prosecution. what does it squeezes her enough to where the likelihood of her testifying in exchange for a deal, and neither are both systems becomes really high. and the higher that becomes, the higher the likelihood of former president trump and everyone else being convicted becomes. and mind, you a lot of people

are juggling this analysis, not just sydney powell. >> that's a good point, and she's feeling trouble in georgia. her hands are full on multiple fronts. maybe a reason why she would want to cooperate with this investigation -- jonathan, let's talk about jack smith's investigation. the other one in florida the classified documents case, this is a significant development. you had this key witness, the information technology worker. ucl taveras who has entered into cooperation agreement with prosecutors to provide testimony according to his former attorney given trump's obsession with loyalty and keeping people in line, how significant of a flip is this? >> very. trump is in deep legal trouble in this case as well. the differences, jack smith's prosecution is very likely to go to trial before the election and for the conspiracy -- but not until after the

election in the mar-a-lago case for two reasons. one is they have a trumpster judge, judge cannon, in the mar-a-lago case. and she shows a lot of indications of wanting to do with trump's way. although she's done a better lately. more important is that this case involves a lot of classified information. and they're a lot of legitimate ways to slow down a case when you have to work your way through those classified documents. i don't think there's any real reason to expect that the mar-a-lago case will take place until after the election. but it's very likely as well. >> david, who do you think might be under pressure to flip as well and some of these cases that we are looking at? >> that's a long list. i want to go back. the 19 in georgia. here's the reason, buy it from that representing these people, i would not. but if they called me and asked what should i be worried about,

i would say this state pen. that's what you should be worried about. i agree, former president trump is highly unlikely to serve any real time behind bars and their number of different reasons for that. not the least of which is there is not a warden in the country who's not gonna say, i don't want to because i cannot guarantee his safety. could have a conversation about the reality that we can't prevent crimes from happening behind bars even though we represent them, we can make them stop in the world. but we can't keep them safe, and have other considerations that does not apply to anyone else. anyone else facing prosecution in georgia, knowing fani willis, and what she's despite so far is highly incentivized to cut a deal and get clues from this now before you spend an overwhelming amount of money on lawyers who cannot save you from the state. ben >> i was gonna, say look at rudy giuliani, he's down to having fund-raisers advent monster just to make his legal bills -- >> he can be pardoned either.

so if they're waiting for trump to get reelected and pardon him, they're waiting in vain. >> agreed, david henderson, jonathan alter, thank you for being here tonight. greatly appreciated. next, -- republicans that are letting him get away with it. m get away with it in 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting... and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time. think you're not at risk for shingles? it's time to wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. from big cities, to small towns, if you're over 50, talk to and on main streets across the us, you'll find pnc bank. helping businesses both large and small, communities and the people who live and work there

security at risk. navy secretary carlos del toro went even further referring to adversaries who he says we are paying attention to u.s. combat readiness. he told cnn, quote, i would never have imagined one of our own senators would actually be aiding communists and other autocratic regimes around the world. tuberville who we should note has never served has dismissed these calls as woke propaganda. but what our senate republican colleagues doing to stop it and the answer is simple, nothing. as msnbc steve bannon put it this week, a healthy political environment, tuberville taking steps to undermine his own country's military during a time of security and uncertainty would be a career ending fiasco. in 2023, the republicans expect to get away with his radical tactics without any consequences at all, and given the state of gop politics, the right-wing senator might very well be correct.

thankfully,, though veterans are doing what senate republicans will not. here is allison just, low seen -- confronting tuberville on the hill. >> many of us are frustrated by your a whole long promotions especially the -- many of whom are still serving. i'm just curious what -- there's a lot of conversation here in d.c. but what do you have to tell them about whether they raise -- >> they go for the law. it's fine. >> but you holding up peoples pay raises, promotions, and livelihoods. >> 250 out of 2 million. thank you. >> all right, she joins me now. thank you so much for when making time for. us what made you decide to confront, and what did you think of his response? >> i think many of us thought that we would enter the office recess in washington d.c. with

this being resolved and it was days just before congress went out of town and -- i represent over 425,000 members but over 300 million service members and veterans have served since the post 9/11 -- and they didn't have a voice in this. pilgrims like yourself are great, that they have conversations around how politically bad this is. but -- people who are caught up in the crosshairs of. this weather is the families of those who were serving or the individuals who were just trying to lead our troops today. so personally i felt compelled to make sure that those individuals had a voice and you have to call it a confrontation, but i don't know how else to make sure that he was gonna be speaking to those folks without

going straight up to him myself. >> that incredible op-ed from the entire secretaries outlines the different consequences of tuberville's actions as i highlighted. they're the even go beyond national security implications. talk to us about the effects this is having on military families and junior members to. i think you alluded to that in the question you're asking to privilege out their livelihoods and their promotions, and their pay raises. to achieve to just make it sound like it's just 150 people out of 2 million. >> the uncertainty for our entire national security also uncertainty for individual humans lives, it's all we want are the people that are interested with our national defense to be focused on that. we want to take care of everything else in their lives. we will make sure that they have a roof over their head, that their families are taken care of, that they have quality benefits and a good paycheck. and what we've done here is destabilized that entire

system. that's not good for international security, that's not good for the individuals who were asking to volunteer, by the, way to step up and serve and defend our country. unfortunately, there is a -- the come down of the ring court is not even sleeping in the home that we've provided for him because his promotion is held up because of once and it is political personal agenda. that's shameful. >> shameful indeed. it's even more shameful that the republican party is letting tuberville get away with it. i think mitch mcconnell bears part of the blame for not being able to keep his caucus in order. i want to ask you this though, nbc's salute kapoor, our correspondent on the hill, as tuberville if he felt any pressure from his gop leaders about this, and mcconnell -- tuberville said, no, i haven't heard from anybody. instead, as we were discussing, senate republicans, they're basically deflecting and blaming senate majority leader chuck schuman for not bringing

the votes on the promotions one by one. how do you make sense of this? >> first of all, it's garbage. there are potentially going on the record publicly, but i know for a fact that he's hearing a lot behind the scenes not just from his republican colleagues but also from four flak officers. it takes a lot to help admiral mullen go on the record in two news interviews like he did just a few weeks ago. but more more thankfully the coming up publicly to make sure that people know what's at stake here. there is no reason by one senator should be able to be holding up promotions in this way. by the way, we asked our members about this and our members overwhelmingly support but the dod and the dea has done post-dobbs decision. so i'm not sure exactly what -- who he's speaking for except from self and i think that's a sad state of affairs considering where we're at and our country. >> that, me before we, go play for you this sound of

tuberville, lamenting that the u.s. military has gone woke because they are writing poems on aircraft carriers. watch. >> right, now we're so woke in the military -- we have people doing poems on aircraft carriers over the loudspeaker. it is absolutely insane, the direction that we're headed in our military. >> you have to say, i don't know how brushed up he is on his history, but it seems that no one has told tuberville that our own national anthem is actually based on the poem by francis pot key. would he have considered that to woke you think? >> i'm not sure what pan he's referring to. but i think in large part there's a lot of effort that is being taken place both in the pentagon and by some of our elected leaders to make sure that the military is a place that is welcoming we, and supportive of all americans. because we're guaranteeing them

-- were hoping that people will step up and serve as a volunteer. that's what we are sticking our national defense on right now. so, senators like himself who have never served before taking issued what are very responsible policies are happening in the d.o.d. right now towards our service members, looking out for their health care and help we'll be are just ridiculous. >> it is ridiculous, it's one way to describe. it is very rich coming from, as you, said a senator who has never served a day in his life. we allison jaslow, thank you very, much i appreciate you being here with us this. evening don't go anywhere, we have breaking news on that earthquake in morocco, next. in morocco, next. versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv meet the future. a chef. a designer. and, ooh, an engineer. all learning to save and spend their money with chase. the chef's cooking up firsts with her new debit card.

then i guess just try and try again. that certainly seems to be the motto for republicans in alabama who, for a second time, at their congressional maps struck down by the state's high court this week, in a scathing trojan and 17-page order. a panel of judges wrote that republican law makers have failed to comply with the court's demand to create a second majority black district in the state, or even something, quote, close to it. the mapping question was quickly ran through the state

legislator back in july after republicans previous attempts were thrown up by the supreme court for violating the voting rights act. instead of learning their lesson and complying with the high court's orders and trying to do the right thing, alabama republicans took a different approach. they ignored the ruling and, once, again approved a map that includes only one majority black district. the u.s. district court for northern alabama seem to be shocked by the state gop's button disregard for its ruling. in, fact they wrote in part for not aware of any other case in which a state legislator faced with a federal court order declared that it's electoral plan a flea dilutes minority votes and came up with the plan that promotes -- responded with the plan that the state can seats does not provide that district. they ruled that responsibility for creating a new map will now

be in the hands of a special master who is starting to work but is staring down a very tight deadline. state officials are warning a new congressional map will need to be in place by early october in order to prepare for the 2024 elections. that does not give them or that special master a lot of time. following tuesday's decision, alabama secretary of state wasted no time and asking the supreme court of reviewing the case again. i know what you're thinking here, isn't doing the same thing over, and over, and over, and expecting different results the very definition of insanity? i mean, i guess not for alabama. it seems that is literally their strategy. as david first on points out in a new piece for the new york times, the state has a long history of defying the federal courts. who can forget their fierce oppositions of the supreme courts landmark 1959 brown forces board of education decision which outlawed state

sanctioned segregation in american public schools? alabama, long with other states spent years resisting that mandate with governor george wallace notoriously promising, quote, segregation -- segregation forever. that was back in the infamous 1963 speech. the state only cooperated when federal troops came into the picture. the tradition of defines clearly still lives on in the yellow and red state. as first on writes, quote, when it comes to accepting the mandates of racial justice, alabama's leaders will hold out as long as they can, and only grudgingly acknowledge reality when it's imposed on them. so as we tee up for a possible round three, let's be clear about one thing here. alabama's leaders knew what they were doing every step of this process. the court's rebuke was exactly

the kind of thing that states republican party has long invited, cultivated, even celebrated. it's a way to show that no one in power, no judge, court, or extension of the federal government can push them around. it is a self serving to finds that only hurts the citizens of alabama and no one more than the black ones. as chris england, a black state representative from tuscaloosa said back in july, quote, the federal court does what it always does to alabama. forces us to the right thing. courts always have to come in and save us from ourselves. stick around, i'm going to talk to congressman jimmy raskin at the top of the. our gonna have more updates on the devastating earthquake in morocco. more even continues after this quick break. quick break. the people who live and work there.
