you know, sidney powell takes this to such an extreme point of view here.n be taken seriously. and keep that in mind when you hear this big lie repeated by donald trump, by rudy juice lany. they have not given up on it yet. so next time donald trump gets on tv or, you know, gets on social media and says election was stolen from me, remember, his chosen attorney at one point, sidney powell, she's already given it up. she's already said, no, big lie. so ridiculous, nobody should believe it. >> but you make an interesting point. the bar for defamation is high, especially with the public person. right? but that she would be protected legally, you think, if they were obviously satire. right? if someone went on "snl" and said something like this. that's how nuts it is, right? but this wasn't satire. >> yep. exactly. our laws, our first amendment gives very broad protection to satire. it goes back to the founding of the country. "saturday night live" is a perfect example. if they started yelling the crack pot theories about how venezuela hacked into the voting mac

sidney powell is a massive fraud. that's according to sidney powell herself.whole election fraud narrative, that too is a complete fiction, complete fraud. that also, according to sidney powell. like you said, as sidney powell herself says, no reasonable person could believe this. it's also importantly not a legal defense here in a defamation case. it's not a good defense, weak defense, bad defense, it's not a defense. it's the opposite of a defense because the two things dominion has to prove here in order to win its lawsuit are, one, the statements were false, and two, that the person who made the false statements knew they were false. sidney powell has now essentially come out and admitted both of those things. >> also ellie, is it true? didn't a lot of people believe her? wasn't there an insurrection -- this minor matter of an insurrection at the capitol where people who believed those false claims stormed the building, five people dead? >> right. i mean, it's not -- there's proof right in front of us that many, many people believed those claims. not just

we have such a pile of stuff to get through, i don't know where to start but i will start with sidney powell and her defense. her lawyers, after they filed suit, dominion filed suit against her in january, she responded by saying that no reasonable person could possibly believe that her claims were factual. this is a woman who represented the president of the united states at the time in voter fraud cases. what do you make of that defense? >> it is absolutely jaw dropping, or at least it should be if we were operating in a normal universe. but here is someone who filed pleadings in court. you know, attorneys in court have to operate under professional rules of ethics that require that they be candid and yet she is now saying, everything that i did, it was a lie, it was a part of the big lie. fox perhaps should be running it 24 hours a day for its viewers to hear. >> well, fox is now being sued by dominion, has responded to the lawsuit by saying, "fox stands in the highest tradition of american journalism and pledged to vigorously defend against a baseless lawsuit in court." that's int

sidney powell, the trump lawyer who was carrying on about these voting machines and conspiracies, she reasonable person would conclude that the statements she made were truly statements of fact. what legal defense is that? i lied to you and you're an idiot to have believed me? >> you know, ali, it's a really poor defense. it's kind of like if you defend yourself in a murder trial by saying, i kind of killed the guy. that's not a winning defense. and you know what gives me a chuckle about this story, ali? i have to be honest. now that dominion is suing fox, who was one of fox's star guests over and over and over again on the issue of election fraud, the election being stolen, the election being rigged? it was sidney powell, who has now admitted in her own defamation suit that nobody should've credited her statements. let me tell you, that puts fox in a real trick bag when they have to decide what their litigation position is because, apparently, one of their marquee guests has admitted that she wasn't being straight with the american people. i think fox lawyers are going to start to di

sidney powell argued in her own court filing she's being sued by dominion, too. she argued no reasonable person would have believed her claim. what she said was a lie, the big lie that the election was stolen. that did not stop fox anchor buying into her claims. then there is this second big lie that nothing really happened during the insurrection at the capitol, the former president incited the insurrection with his bogus lies of the election being stolen out there trying to whitewash the whole thing, trying to convince us that we did not see it in our own eyes and those were flags waving patriots instead of bloodthirsty rioters hunting the members of congress. trying to convinced them were trying to hug and kiss police. >> they go after people, i guess you would call them lean towards the right, they're waving the american flags and they love our country. it was zero threat right from the start. it was zero threat, look. they went in and they should not have done it. some of them went in and hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know? they had a gr

i don't see her doing anything worse than the sidney powells and rudy giulianis of the world and the lie they perpetrated where they sent people to the capitol on january 6th and five people ended up dying. my question is, is this what the prp republican party wants to be, this new picture of a rosa parks sitting on the back of a bus and getting arrested? that's what this is right now. what she did was right for standing up for the right thing to do, for standing up for democracy, for standing up for access to the voting booth for everyone. all of these lies about election integrity, the reason that governor kemp and others couldn't do it was because it was illegal in 2020. they couldn't change the results of the election because they had to follow the law. what they've done is codify what had the former president wanted to happen in 2020 of november. >> prior to that, brian kemp had said that there are laws on the books in georgia to make sure elections are not stolen. i believe that was in 2018. fast forward to now, we see this playing out. reverend woodall, what is your reaction t

the problem is sidney powell did not have a rational client. donald trump was not acting rationally, he was irrational and then put that on republican voters. so what we were left with on january 6 was a divided nation who don't accept what the facts are when it comes to the past election and january 6. republicans are willing to double down on the big lie if they see a win. in the long game, it's going to hurt their viability, but in the short run, they think they have a shot to retake power. >> that primary is one to watch in georgia. it's ominous to me, very ominous. david jolly and nse ufot, thank you for making time with us. i should note we are awaiting the boulder police to give us some details about the aftermath of what appears to be a mass shooting that happened outside a grocery store in boulder, colorado, a few hours ago. the details have been hard to come by, i have to say. we don't have a lot confirmed. we have some eyewitness accounts of people that were shot, that appear to be injured, that were either inside or outside that gro

he loved albert sidney johnson. he had been the first captain, commander of the corps at west point when davis had been a cadet. so he had reverence for him from the beginning. after johnson was killed at shiloh he appointed his son on his staff in richmond to kind of keep that connection with him. he was number two. number three was robert e. lee, class of 1827. graduating second. number four. joseph e. johnston, 17th from the same class and beauregard, was last, from i think class of '38. those were the five in that order. if two ever served in the same theater one would have command jurisdiction over the other. and it wasn't the command jurisdiction that bothered johnston so much because he did have command authority in virginia. he was the top ranking field commander in virginia. but it was the idea that the law said i should be number one and you made me number four. that requires an explanation. by the way, the argument against johnston's position here was that johnston was quarter-master general and therefore

amy: former president trump's lawyer sidney powell sought to dismiss a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed against her by dominion voting systems, saying no one should have believed her repeated false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. in a court filing, powell's lawyers write -- "no reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact." the supreme court has agreed to consider the justice department's request to reinstate a death sentence for dzhokhar tsarnaev who is serving life in prison for his role in the deadly 2013 boston marathon bombing. last year, a lower court tossed out his death sentence but the trump justice department appealed. and in atlanta, the husband of a woman who died in last week's mass shootings has revealed he was handcuffed and held by police for four hours after surviving the attack. mario gonzÁlez said -- "i don't know whether it's because of the law or because i'm mexican. the simple truth is that they treated me badly." he didn't learn his wife delaina ashley yaun had died for hours. gonzÁlez and his wife had gone t

no reasonable person, her lawyer says, would conclude that the statements made by sidney powell wereoh, no, all of this is fake and everybody should have known that. i wonder, do the republican elite look at what's happening to sidney powell, do they look at what's happening to fox news and say, is there any trepidation about continuing down this line? i mean, do you get any sense the self-respecting members of the republican caucus on the hill will look at the comedy of errors, the legal implications of these lies and think, maybe i should pause? >> yeah, i just -- no, they don't. so, the reality of the republican party, whether you like it or not -- not you, specifically, alex, but whether republicans like it or not, it is a party where donald trump has somewhere, i would imagine, in the 60% to 80% approval ratings. i mean, most members of congress go home or went home in the last congress and heard from their constituents, why aren't you sticking up for donald trump more? not, why wouldn't you split with him more? and you know, that's what i hear and i spend every day in the capit

the kind trump allies, rudy giuliani, sidney powell and others repeatedly touted on the campaign trailevidence to fuel their dangerous lie on the legitimacy of the november result. of course, that was just a small part of the disinformation apparatus that trump and his supporters deployed in the weeks and months surrounding the election. there was also the lie that china -- not so much russia -- was involved in a massive election manipulation campaign. here's donald trump breaking with his own fbi director christopher wray on that point. >> we've certainly seen very active, very active efforts by the russians to influence our election in 2020 through maligned foreign influence side of things. social media, use of proxies, state media, online journals, et cetera. an effort to both sow divisiveness and discord and i think the intelligence community has assessed this publicly, to primarily denigrate vice president biden. >> i did not like his answers yesterday. and i'm not sure he liked them either. i'm sure that he probably would agree with me. the big problem is china. and we can have o

and if this is the best defense that sidney powell can come up, with i think she's in a whole lot ofw a phrase from donald trump, i think the ultimate civil judgment against her will be "yuge." >> same question to you, does that work? saying, i lied about this company, i used them of the most terrible things, i hurt their reputation, but nobody would be stupid enough to believe me. >> my god. >> despite the fact that she was one of donald trump's lead propagandaists, in a lie that has actually got about 50% of americans believing in these conspiracy theories, believing that joe biden didn't win the election because of her conspiracy theories. >> you know, sidney powell is an embarrassment to lawyers. when you write a complaint or make a statement in court, you're not protected by the first amendment for lying. and if we think about the consequences of these lies. again, we have a police officer killed in the capitol. we have hundreds of officers assaulted, physically and verbally, and we have all of these insurrectionists, so that now that we're actually talking in the united states

principal and greatest theologian and was taught with his ecclesiastical power went everywhere and sidney became a hero of the colonial americans as a martyr to republicanism and the discourse on government. powerful natural law document had an influence on the founding such that at the time of the founding, hampton sydney college in virginia was created honoring sydney. jefferson mentioned sydney discourse on government is one of the premier books that ought to be taught to all the youth in the young united states because it was such a powerful thought. now i also want to quickly mention filmer's book patriarch a call was around in the colonies and jefferson had a copy. filmer understood that to defend the kings he had to wrestle with bellarmine and suarez so he does extensive citations from bellarmine. and also from suarez but to a lesser extent. jefferson had this book in his library and he has some underlying senate. so that we know jefferson knew the thinking of bellarmine and suarez to a certain extent and other colonial americans. now all of this thinking was the foundation for the

liberals and including dictatorship involvement and all of that and then there is trump's attorney sidney powell, she's facing multiple lawsuits including one from dominion and now she's trying to defend it. the horrible part about all of this is they did accepted those. the there are 44 other states now that are waiting in the wing. 250 bills which would restrict voting rights. kaitlan collins is live at the white house. how far will president biden go to try to stop this? >> reporter: of course you heard him railing against it earlier and saying this is jim crow and the 21st century. before he left the white house to go to delaware, we asked him again about it and he believes it is an atrocity. the fact that you can't giver o give out water and it is a crime to give out water. it is punitive and it is not based on election integrity as the republicans of georgia have framed it. he's saying look how small that is. that's something they felt they should encollude it. it is not about ballot boxes. it is something as small as that. the question of what he could do and power limited to a pot
