tv   Yasmin Vossoughian Reports  MSNBC  September 16, 2023 12:00pm-1:01pm PDT

12:00 pm
parents of a special needs three-year-old are the ones now fighting back. -- nbc news. >> and, thanks to miguel -- for that really disturbing report. we've got a lot more coming up folks, you are watching msnbc. our second hour starts, right now. righ now. ♪ ♪ ♪ hi everybody i'm, yasmin -- if you are just joining, us welcome. if you are sticking with us, we are thankful for that. we are still following that breaking news out of texas. an impeachment acquittal for republican attorney general ken paxton. a live report coming up. donald trump, on the attack, after the special counsel asked for an order to keep him quiet. >> jack smith, he sounds so nice doesn't he. he's a deranged individual, and he wants to take away my first amendment rights. they want to court to get an order. say you, can't speak. >> impeachment on the agenda on
12:01 pm
capitol hill, while a shutdown looms. i want to speak to congress men becca -- about that. and, just candy brown jackson i should say, has a warning for americans. confront our racial pass, or pair -- a public stand that she has taken. all of that, and a death that started a movement one year ago. -- was killed in iran, in an act of brutality that sparked a revolution for women's rights in this country. later this hour, i'm going to look at where the movement is right now in iran. we begin though with that breaking news out of texas. states army general ken paxton has been acquitted on all charges of, articles i should say, of impeachment he was facing. and, he is now reinstated from a suspension that had lasted since may. paxson had been facing charges that included bribery, conspiracy, and unfitness for office. i want to bring in -- who is standing by for us in austin. priscilla, good to talk to you, walk us through how this all unfolded, and what compaction is now saying. >> yeah yasmin, after nearly
12:02 pm
two weeks of testimony from former staffers, outlining this years-long pattern of abuse that they allege the senators deliberated for more than six hours, and they came back into the chamber behind me, and voted. in a two thirds majority vote, that would have been required in order for paxton to be impeached on any one of these articles of impeachment. but what we saw was that only two republicans, out of the 18 who were in the senate, voted to convict on any of these 16 articles of impeachment. and of course, they did not reach that majority threshold, so paxton was reinstated, shortly after those votes took place. and now, we are beginning to get a reaction. i want to start with the now again texas attorney general ken paxton, who said that the truth has prevailed. and he went on to write the, sham impeachment, coordinated by the biden administration, with liberal healths -- and his kangaroo court, has context of fares millions of
12:03 pm
dollars, disrupted the work of the office of attorney general, and left a dark and prominent stain on the texas. house we weaponization of the impeachment process, to such a political differences, is not only wrong it is immoral, and corrupt. and i should note that the lieutenant governor presided over these proceedings, and when they were done, he had a lot of very scathing remarks to say. he accused the house of rushing this impeachment process through, he said that this is not the way it should go. and he is now calling on a revision to the texas constitution, so that the impeachments do not go this way, moving forward, making many of the changes that paxton and his attorneys had argued for. and of course, we are also hearing from democrats, who are absolutely outraged. they feel that ken paxton is entirely corrupt. and again, all of these charges, stemming from staffers her essentially said that he used his office to benefit a wealthy political donor. and that he took bribes. and so democrats are saying that this process did not, work and they are outraged that this
12:04 pm
has happened. but of course, this is a gop -controlled legislature. and so, it was always a possibility, we didn't know how it was going to go. and we expect to hear from the house impeachment managers, and in -- just a short while, sort of getting their reaction to all of this, and they were the ones who investigated this, brought forth those articles of impeachment, and felt that they had enough evidence to convict. yasmin? >> all right, priscilla thompson for us, thank you for being on it. i want to get to the latest when it comes to the former president, and the many criminal charges that he is continuing to face. chief among them, the revelation that special counsel jack smith has asked for a-limited gag order to be placed on donald trump. as he says, trump has, quote, repeatedly and widely disseminated public statements attacking the citizens of the district of columbia, the court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses. i want to bring in nbc news justice reporter ryan reilly, who was the author of the upcoming book, sedition hunters, how january 6th broke the justice system, set for release
12:05 pm
next month. ryan, bring us up to speed on where we are, with this potential-limited gag order, and how the former president is reacting today? >> yeah, sort of reacting as you expect, with more attacks and talk about the prosecutor here. in a normal case, you don't really have this sort of situation, where a defendant is attacking the court, witnesses, prosecutors, et cetera. but, there really are repercussions, when donald trump is speaking out like this. and they are essentially pointing back to what happened in the lead up to january six, when it was sort of the same situation, when donald trump was saying these lies about other individuals, and they came under attack. because there is so much overlap between the political system, and would be witnesses here. say, for example, even one of donald trump's current opponents in the republican primary, mike pence, as a witness of course. and, -- and testify before that grand jury. so, there is just a lot of overlap here, and makes it really complicated, and they
12:06 pm
really really unique situation. and they don't want to cut off trump's speech altogether, but they want to be able to say that he can't make these attacks on the jury, on the process together, and really asking the judge to step in here, in a very limited gag order that would, they say, give him a fair trial, and under six months, coming up in march, it's apparently -- >> talk to me also for the revelation of this new evidence, this unsealed court document, revealing that jack smith has obtained stunning data from twitter. and now we know, as acts, about trump's account, direct messages, along with draft messages as well. >> yeah, 32 direct messages there. and what i think they're most interested in is, who is setting a lot of these tweets at these key moments. because you remember, it's not just trump who has access to his account, he has somebody employed as sort of his social media manager. so, they want to know who had access to these devices, that were sending these messages, who was sending them, you know,
12:07 pm
the various ip addresses that were being sent from. so, they could sort of lay this out altogether. but of course, twitter was pushing back at that. and that's why all of this sort of spilled, out into the open, because twitter was sort of behind the scenes, fighting a lot of this. and, it's only now that we are really learning about what was happening months back now, about this fight between twitter and jack smith's office. >> ryan riley for us, thank you riley. coming up next everybody, when you're today, the killing of -- sparked a global movement for women's rights in around. or go to look at the state of that revolution, and we will have new information about the warning her father got ahead of the anniversary. we will be back in just 60 seconds. ust 60 seconds. j.p. morgan wealth management knows it's easy to get lost in investment research.
12:08 pm
get help with j.p morgan personal advisors. hey, david! ready to get started? work with advisors who create a plan with you, and help you find the right investments. so great getting to know you, let's take a look at your new investment plan. ok, great! this should have you moving in the right direction. thanks jen. get ongoing advice; and manage your investments in the chase mobile app. woman, wife, freedom -- it's been one year since 22-year-old iranian mass amini died in the custody of that country's so-called morality police, after allegedly not wearing here her job properly, -- and setting off a wave of protests in the country often
12:09 pm
chanting that phrase that i just mentioned. today, nasa -- 's father was brutally detained, as human rights not -- to mark the anniversary of his own child's death. since the protests began, it's been reported that the iranian regime killed -- including 71 children, according to a report by the nine nations human rights council earlier this year. 22,000 have reportedly been arrested. nbc news has not been able to verify those numbers. i want to bring in nbc's josh -- who is here for us to talk more about this. we have been seeing, josh, these reports from human rights group of the iranian regime cracking down on protesters leading up to this anniversary. and, warning them not to protest, and then subsequently cracking down on them, if in fact they are out of this -- what are we hearing today in -- >> well yasmin, the iranian authorities clearly do not want to see mass demonstrations
12:10 pm
across their country, marking this anniversary, the security forces have been out in full force today, both in toronto, the capital and in other cities across the country, particularly in the western part of the country, where mahsa amini's front. and iranian state run media reporting there have been multiple arrests today a people connected to demonstrations taking place today, across the country. and in -- the hometown -- 27 year old man was shot by security forces, near the cemetery where -- is buried. that is according to both human rights group and two iranian state run media, which is quoting regional authorities as saying that this young man was approaching a restricted area, and was ignoring the instructions of security forces when he was shot, and then brought to a hospital. but outside of iran, yasmin, we are also seeing demonstrations taking place across the world, with thousands of people marching in brussels, holding
12:11 pm
up images of -- and other iranians that died in the protests that followed her death. other protests taking place in brussels, in berlin, in france, italy, in washington and other parts of the world, as iranian dissidents and exiled supporters of -- tried to make clear that her death has not been forgotten, yasmin -- there's also the politics of all this and it's been a whirlwind of what's been happening -- over the last ten days or so. we're talking of course the prisoner exchange, along with the release being managed by -- of six billion dollars, as has been told to us by the u.s. covered for humanitarian purposes. iran -- had in fact, they will do with what they want. and then, the news of sanctions leveled against iran. talk us through that? >> yeah, it's pretty interesting. because just as the u.s. is trying to carry out this
12:12 pm
delicate deal with iran to get those prisoners back in the coming days, they are also dropping these new sanctions on iran, over iran's crackdown, following the death of mahsa amini. and so, the u.s. slapping iran with sanctions on 25 iranians, three state run media outlets, as well as an internet research firm. the biden administration, taking that step, alongside australia, canada, and other countries. it's essentially the 13th round of sanctions that the u.s. has put in place, following mahsa amini's's death, trying to send a message to their death -- and united states going to continue standing up to the iranian regime, and against its crackdown on basic freedoms, yasmin. all right josh -- for us. so, despite the danger, the resistance has continued in iran, with women showing defiance by removing their head scarves. even sometimes burning them in the streets. over the past year activist, within and outside iran have work to create increased awareness, and to push for
12:13 pm
change. i want to bring in yasmin ceo about thisn ce about this we are one year out from the killing and murder of mass i mean. reflect on me the last year, right, the momentum that we felt for those first three or four months. >> the last year has shown us that people in the government others around our -- people want freedom, government wants to retain power. the struggles playing out on the internet. so what we are seeing today is the government kind of remains scared that the revenue is -- -- >> i want to read for you something from npr, talking about, and it's something i thought about quite frequently. the how there was not one opposition leader. as we look throughout the last year and where we are, now the
12:14 pm
government is still in power. women are still fighting. and parents, as protesters insist that having no leader whom the government could target was to there benefit and that it helped keep the unrest going. but the strength of legalized movements is also its greatest weakness, there is no person or party poised to inspire and galvanize broad swaths of society -- >> sense of the leaders -- there wasn't a single person running around. partly because the fundamental government of iran has put everyone in prison was trying to rise up. the diaspora leaders were all pretty clear and unified in saying that we are trying to emphasize the voice of iranians, running they did very well. >> i think, this is not, over and it's doc's continuing as people are pouring into the streets, right? even today as women are defying the morality police in front of them, in iran, walking in the streets of tehran without a
12:15 pm
head scarf on. iranians president was asked about the protests by nbc's lester holt in an interview just a couple of days ago. i want to play for you his response. and then i want to hear what you have to say. >> you should be assured that -- has always been ready to listen to words of protesters and those who intend to abuse this woman's name under this project -- agent of foreigners to create instability in the country. we know what happened to them, and they know that in endangering the security of people, -- society will create a big cost. >> so it's interesting, right? because in a way he is saying, we listened to protesters, but in the same sentence, he is also threatening protesters.
12:16 pm
>> yeah, the government of -- has made it clear that there is one narrative allowed in that country, that's the government one. they also want absolute control over the information environment, which is why they have cut down every, you know, access to every single independent media site, social media site. take off access to the internet in the hopes that they can check the opposition. there is no exchange of dialogue or listening on the part of this government. >> that has been the biggest weapon, you keep bringing up the internet, that is the biggest weapon for protesters. and, also the biggest weapon of the iranian government and keeping protesters quiet, right? how do you reconcile that in this movement going forward? >> just definitely is, you know, the digital battlefield is one where both parties care about, you know, the internet has been described as the oxygen of this movement. and both sides care about it so much. you know, iran is sharing repressive technology, no how, and actual software and
12:17 pm
hardware with russia and china. they are all helping one another get smarter and stronger at repressing their people. iranian people do have the internet freedom community on their side, which is -- we see ourselves as part of that. the goal is to find new uninvited ways to help people in iran supplement the governments blocking of the internet. >> when you think about the deal that was made between the biden administration and the iranian government, where do you stand on that? >> it's complicated, it's nuance? >> the elements of the u.s. government's policy that have been, but we've been watching so closely a jigsaw are the ones to do with anything digital. >> right. >> so the government, you know, issued an exemption for u.s. tech companies to be able to at least trade with iran. vpns are a type of technology that everyone around the world uses to get around domestic hundred ship. >> but not everyone has access to them. >> and you can't pay for them
12:18 pm
if nobody except your currency because you are under sanctions. >> right. >> so the governor is trying to do things that, you know, i think are very encouraging to enable technology companies to offer the tools to iranians so that they can at least -- >> how did they do that, how do they get access to it, especially when you are in kind of a more rural place, right? you know iran as well as i do. right? there is a difference between a protester in the middle of tehran who has access to technology, who has access to money. versus protesters and the silent voices in rural parts of iran who can literally be killed or murdered by government forces and no one would ever even know. right? who may have even a bigger story to tell. >> yeah, i mean, it's something like 80 plus percent of the population -- very digital savvy. and also the government is very digital savvy. so you have to be -- of coming up against each other. the work that jigsaw does is to try to provide the tools to build vpns. furch will private networks,
12:19 pm
vpns. so we are trying to get tools in the hands of iranians that they can access the internet for free. so there is a big community that is developing technology for iranians and hope that they can have connectivity even when the government is trying to silence them. >> what is the future of this, especially when it comes to the diaspora, and online? >> well, we are gonna see an evolution of the battlefield, -- the feature of the internet will be very consequential for the government and the people. the fact that the government is cracking down the internet this very day shows that they know that, you know, they know the spirit and the revolution is alive and with the people. and every time that they can communicate with each other, they will. and i think the regime stays -- >> right, a reaction like we just heard from president race. he shows that they are certainly threatened by these protesters. and i'm yasmin is not as common as you think in iran, just fyi, even though there is two sitting right here at this table. he has, many great, thank you
12:20 pm
so much. >> appreciated. >> still ahead, what was once hurricane lee is scraping by new england. a look at its track and what is churning up in the tropics, coming up. and one republicans culmination of an impeachment inquiry into president biden, the case being made by congressman ken buck. i will get reaction from democrat -- next. - next coarse hair thin skin when i'm shaving down there not just any razor will do venus for pubic hair and skin with a patented irritation defense bar for a smooth shave with blades that barely touch skin businesses need 5g solutions today. that's why they choose t-mobile for business. mlb partners with t-mobile to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. aaa relies on t-mobile's network to stay connected nationwide, so they can help get their members back on the road. and we're helping pano ai innovate, to stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network

12:24 pm
12:25 pm
impeachment inquiry now officially launched into president biden by three gop house committees, we are starting to see some backlash in response, including from some house republicans themselves. in a new op-ed in the washington post, colorado gop congressman ken buck lemming -- to escalate this, saying no evidence exists to connect the president to his son's business dealings in ukraine. despite years of investigation. i want to bring in democratic congresswoman rebecca bail and to discuss this, and much more. congresswoman, thank you for joining us on this, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> of course, give me first your reaction to launching this impeachment inquiry. and what you are hearing from folks like colleagues of yours, can block, saying the evidence isn't there. even one launched by its own party. >> right, what can book has, that what members of the senate have said in the gop, what they've said, there is no evidence. and i can tell you, having served on oversight and now on judiciary, there is no evidence. we have been hearing about
12:26 pm
rumor, you know, innuendo, games of telephone for months and months and months. they never have the facts or the evidence. and i always say, you know, i was a middle school teacher for a long time. i know about games of telephone and, you know, whispering rumors and hoping for them to be true. we do not have the evidence, they have not shown the evidence. it is very clearly a way for them once again to show their commitment to the former president. that is what this is about. it is about distraction and showing loyalty. and it is part of a deep cynicism that i see among the members of the conference that are pushing so hard on impeachment. they don't actually care whether the evidence is there or not. and it is a corrupting influence on government as a whole. but to the other thing that i have been thinking about, yasmin, is that they believe they can ride out this moment of trumpism. >> right.
12:27 pm
>> and they can't. they are not going to ride, out the cause there is another coming in his place. you know? he is already doing his part to groom, them people like marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz. it's not as if this is all just gonna go away. we have to have people within the conference, i call them the so-called moderates, to actually be moderates and to stand up to these extremists. >> you are talking about this deep cynicism, this commitment to the former president, right? so when you think about the strategy that republicans took back in 2019, and that was resist, resist, resist, do not cooperate, to democrats do the same thing? take from the same book? and not cooperate with any type of impeachment inquiry? >> here is what i want the american people to understand. everybody watching me right now, that the impeachment is taking away our attention from things that desperately need our attention.
12:28 pm
so i live in vermont, and we had a horrible summer of flooding. we had catastrophic fires in hawaii. we have issues that demand our attention right now, not later. we need to be funding the government. and so we have said for months, we are the group in congress, the democrats are the groups that are showing up to do work. we are the adult in the room. and it doesn't even devote cooperating, it is about desperately trying to keep government open. that's what our focus needs to be on. >> so i hear you on that, but my question is, do you ignore subpoenas as republicans did back in 2019 during the impeachment of former president donald trump? >> i don't think we ignore subpoenas, the rule of law matters. what i think the american people watching this need to understand is that they will ask for things, perhaps, they don't exist. and then say that the administration has not given them. that is my real concern. not the administration will ignore subpoenas, but that documents will be requested
12:29 pm
that don't actually exist. and then they will turn around and say we are obstructing justice. because there is no bottom. that is what we have seen over and over in our committee. there is no bottom. >> a couple more things i want to ask you, the u a w stripe, i know you have a personal connection to this story as a former member of your local chapter 20 3:22. we saw that big walk out yesterday, i just spoke with uaw member -- in the last hour. talk to me about why this matters. and why and what these workers are standing up for. and why it is so important? >> yes, there is a reason why 75% of americans that have been pulled in the last few days through gallup have said they stand with uaw. they stand with uaw because it isn't just about these workers. it is about the fact that we have an obscene wealth gap in this country. and that this is a moment through uaw for us to say
12:30 pm
nobody should be reaping the benefits at the top, if workers who are building the cars, that are making the parts, are not also reaping the benefits. and people understand, these three auto dealers, excuse me, automakers, were bailed out, they were bailed out by the american government, by the american people, and the workers made concessions at that time. so that they didn't go into bankruptcy. >> sure. >> they were promised, you know, when things are good, we are gonna be there for you. and we are not seeing that. and, you know, one little data point for folks to think about. in 1965, the ratio of ceo pay to average worker pay was about 15 to 1. and these three ceos at the big three, the ratio is 200 and 80 to 1. >> wow. >> that is what this represents for all workers right now.
12:31 pm
that the rich got richer during the pandemic, regular people suffer, and it is absolutely time for the power of the american worker to say we deserve to have our fair share in this success of this company. >> congresswoman, thank you so, much appreciate it. >> always happy to be here. >> all right, marking the 60th anniversary of the racist church bombing that killed four young black girls in birmingham, alabama. supreme court justice ketanji brown jackson delivering a rousing call urging americans not to shy away from confronting a painful racial past. priscilla thompson has more on the blood and message from the courts news justice. we have to own even the darkest parts of our past. understand them and vow never to repeat them. >> that was the message delivered by justice ketanji brown jackson, the first black woman to ascend to the nation's highest court.
12:32 pm
speaking from the -- baptist church in birmingham, alabama. where 60 years ago, the ku klux klan that needed a bomb that killed four black girls. >> we cannot forget, because the uncomfortable lessons are often the ones that teach us the most about ourselves! >> the candid remarks are rare from justice we don't often express opinions outside of the courtroom, they come after the supreme court's conservative majority restricted race conscious college admissions in june. and amid controversy in florida over new african american history standards that critics say whitewash black history. >> we cannot allow concerns about discomfort to displace knowledge, truth, or history. >> i history not easily forgotten by those who lived it. like the families of the four girls who died. denise mcnair, cynthia wesley,
12:33 pm
carol robinson, and abby -- and the survivors, including adi mae's sister sarah, who spoke with today's smell jones about that fateful day. >> when i heard this loud noise, boom, all i could do is say jesus, adi, adi, but she didn't answer. >> is there a day that goes by where you don't think about what happens? >> no, i think about it every day. >> a painful past that justice jackson says we too must never forget. >> collagen bolden's people and it freeze them. the work of our time is maintaining that hard one of freedom. >> thank you to priscilla for that. i want to bring in simon sanders-townsend, host of symone, which follows us here at the top of the four pm our. simone is always such a pleasure to have you on. let me tell you some of the quotes we just heard from the justice, the darkest parts of our path, she says,
12:34 pm
uncomfortable lessons teach us the most. it is ironic to hear these quotes, considering, right, what florida governor ron desantis has instituted in his own state. don't teach young kids about the past. right? we don't teach them the lessons of the past that they could feasibly learn from? what do you make of this? >> yeah, i mean, it is remarkable. and frankly, yasmin, it should not be remarkable, right? we should be used to our elected officials and public officials just telling the truth, speaking truth to power. and in a way that is plain and uplifting, but unfortunately in this day and age we don't usually get that. to have the first black woman to sit on the supreme court, to essentially remind the country that our ugly past is not -- not only important to remember, but it is crucial that we never forget that continue to tell the next generation, the next
12:35 pm
generation, because it is not that long ago. i thought it was absolutely very important. then it does not just, you know, governor ron desantis. if you look at school boards all across the country, this is a thing that is unfortunately raging, and it's hurting our children. >> yeah, it is incredible, because it is a lesson that i teach my kids. i don't know so many other of my friends teach their kids as well. it is amazing to me that you have school boards across this country trying to keep our history and our dark passed out of their minds of their children. how much of an impact do think a speech like this has? words like this have from justice ketanji brown jackson? >> i think it is very impactful, you know? i often talk about my non political group chats, yasmin. and so many people in my non-political group chats sent some clips from justice jackson's speech. and so i thought it was beautiful. the clips actually made me go and watch the entire c-span link that had her whole speech. because i'm, like, these clips are great, let's see the whole speech.
12:36 pm
it was very impactful, important, kbj, as the streets like to call her, is someone i think just speaks directly to folks across the country. regular folks. because we all saw her confirmation. and frankly, every woman in america, and especially every woman of color understood what she was going through when she was sitting there. with the microaggressions. >> the vice president, want to pivot, here kicking off this month-long college tour across eight states. hampton university, beginning in virginia. it's this launch of this kind of new effort to re-energize, especially young voters, and a new nbc article pointing out this. they have concerns about biden's age. how do they go about doing this? and do you think it will help? >> so, first of all, i think college tours are actually important. its idea that young people are not engaged and don't vote is not true. young people power to the 2020 midterm elections, frankly the 2020 elections, and it will be
12:37 pm
critical to 2024. i think this concern that a number of these young folks have, and i will, know she is going to hbcus to kick this off. which is extremely important. she was at north carolina a&t today. and i know they have got a robust schedule for the rest of the month. when it comes to president biden's age, i think that it is, you know, frankly it's something that they are gonna have to talk about, right? the president is old. so is donald trump, by the way. so the president -- the question is, tell me about the things that folks have gotten done. and i don't know about you, but i think these college students definitely remember when donald trump was tweeting up a storm when he was the president. how everyone felt at that time. so i think that will be the challenge of the biden harris campaign. and frankly, just the brace president as she is going out to rally these different groups. to really hit home, like yeah, i understand the age, thing but let me talk about what we have done. and whether or not that will be effective, we will come to see november 2024. >> just to reiterate, and it is something that we don't say enough as we talk about this aged conversation, and you just
12:38 pm
