about alabama.o one thought doug jones would win. no one except for crles barkley and his fellow alabamaens. i see you black women. and if people were paying attention. that they'd have known a few months before randall woodfin was elected, the first progressive mayor in its history. sometimes charles barkley knows what he is talking about. it's a confusing world. but let's start from the beginning, my beginning. so this is the house that i grew up in. spent a lot of time here, lived here a couple years where my dad and step mom lived and step sister. spent a lot of time here. cutting this grass. as you can see i did a great job. it's still cut. my dad likes to remind me that i blew up two lawn mowers. all this grass because i didn't put enough oil in them. is that right, dad? that's right. >> come here. so you still -- you still upset about the lawn mowers. >> you owe me a couple of lawn mowers. >> that's my dad. he is so much better looking than me. but we're spending a lot of quality time with hi

in 1861 he attended the alabama secession convention in montgomery, alabama. he voted to secede from the union because he was a strong states rights supporter. he felt the federal government was overstepping its bounds in trying to regulate slavery in the state of alabama and in other southern states he voted to secede along with the majority from the union. and he served in the civil war, rising to the rank of general. in 1876 in reconstruction he was appointed senator from the state of alabama and probably the most important thing he was known for, he was known as an expansion us. he was very much in fare of the united states acquiring hawaii, cuba, and the philippines. and the second thing, he's known as the father of the panama canal because he very much thought the united states should be voed in a canal system that went through central america. the french started the panama canal, they soon gave up on it. and he was instrumental in working with theodore roosevelt in making sure the united states was instrumental in finishing the panama canal. during reco

he had been a leading figure in alabama to his death. he was from a rural family to the north, went to a small camege in tennessee and back and studied law and became a lawyer and judge. when he became a lawyer, he would've and amongst the moneyed men in the south in alabama in the 1820's. he moved to selma in the 1800s and became a lawyer here and any lawyer who was successful worked with, defendant, or represented white planters here, men who owned slaves and owned vast tracts of land. his real success began during the civil war. he rose up through the ranks to become a brigadier general in alabama. neartually suffered a fatal injury for the end of the war. here was someone who had led thousands of men in battle in this glorious cause. back, settles, rises is a very powerful lawyer. theasically funds democratic state convention for many decades. anyone who goes to washington had to work with him. he finally accepted the call to public office in 1897 as a u.s. senator and flow serve until his death in 1907. he was, like many men of his

and the speaker of the house in alabama and the chair of the judiciary committee in alabama, they said okay. they stood down. they said we'll wait to hear from the ag's office and how they're going to handle it. we will put impeachment proceedings against the governor on hold. now, meanwhile, the united states of america had a presidential election with the surprising result that donald trump was elected president. one knock-on effect of trump being elected president was perhaps the even more shocking result that jefferson beauregard session iii once rejected from consideration to be a federal judge because he was seen as too racially biased for alabama, and that was by a republican-controlled congressional committee, senator jeff sessions, of all people, upon the election of donald trump would ascend to become attorney general of the united states. perhaps even more shocking than donald trump becoming president, right, to see eric holder and loretta lynch succeeded by jeff sessions in the attorney general's office that hit much of america like a 2 x 4 upside the head. but in alabama,

the alabama republican men and thank you to democrats we know it is alabama but we might be able to compete there too. thanks to all of the unlikely little stars aligning. jeff sessions is now held by a democrat doug jones. and with senator doug jones of alabama in that seat, the ballots of power in the united states senate is that the republicans have 51 seats but democrats have 49. with a republican president in office, with this particular one, a reasonable observer might reasonably have predicted that justice anthony kennedy would choose this time to retire. we're going to talk about some of the reasons he night not retire and some stuff about president trump you might think would have given him pause about who he would trust to choose his successor. she a republican and president trump is a republican. that's all you need. anthony kennedy retiring has been predictable ever since the republicans won the white house in 2016. under no circumstances could anybody have plausibly predicted on election day in 2016 that jeff sessions seat would be held by a democrat. it took a lot of almost un

alabama's lawsuit states. alabama's final complaint is monetary. including illegal immigrants in the census, it says, will likely cause alabama to lose its fair share of the almost $700 billion distributed annually by the federal government in grants and other funds. the key to alabama's case is the definition of persons. who should be counted and thus used in apportionment? alabama argues the term persons was understood at the time of the founding and when the 14th amendment was ratified to mean inhabitants of a state. furthermore, when the public era, the founding term inhabitant did not encompass unlawful residents because inhabitants was a legal status that depended on permission to settle granted by the sovereign nation in which an alien was to reside. in other words, persons does not include individuals who are in the u.s. illegally without the permission of the federal government. this article points out the residents who adopted by the census bureau for the 2020 census stipulates that foreign nationals will be counted and allocated to the s

you came from mississippi, alabama, you went to chicago. and so most of the white folks from the mountains of tennessee, mountains of alabama, mountains of mississippi, ended up in chicago in a neighborhood called uptown. uptown was a poor white ghetto. there was a gang in that neighborhood called the goodfellows. gang of street kids. they were organized by youngblood and peggy and others. a guy who was here the other week, who was one of the last remaining young patriots in the country. therm, his twin brother was low therm. everybody had to have a street name. at any rate, they started a free clinic, like the panthers did. they were part of the original rainbow coalition the black panthers, the young lords, the brown berets, in chicago. and they formed a group that really got the establishment, mayor daley, very upset, because it was a coming together of poor communities across racial lines. very quickly, to give you a sense of what that means and what it meant to be living in resurrection city. there was a meeting place in chicago where
