it's all put to a sam garland. yeah. and i think what people are coming to realize is there is a, a big difference between the values and principles of the people in the west and the values and the principles of the ruling elite, the ruling. the lead had lost their legitimacy throughout the world. and bumps the people in their own nations. that's why the people are, are in the streets. the farmers are in the streets. the people are upsets. jo biden's support is collapsing amongst his own parties, constituencies. and trump is the, you know, a very strange and i'd say a year, but he's pretty much looks to be winning in a blow out because the people are figuring it out. and the divided ministrations of the ruling elite are now isolated in the world. they're isolated at the un, and they are actually isolated from their own people or a furious that the, their government no longer has any concern whatsoever for their personal needs. walter garland, just to extend a palm that here, if you think about an, i'm glad you bring up t

you were discussing leadership decline, the pace, go back to garland, garland. and the last sentence of my introduction to this program is i said that then when there is a, a vacuum, others will fill it. there is a leadership vacuum in the world and we see a number or a number of countries, a number of organizations that are beginning to feel that vacuum. and i think 1st and foremost, at our minds of south africa is brief to the regarding israel's ongoing genocide. here in south ask us stepped up and i think we all should be very proud of it. okay . i wish arab countries would be part of that brief, but will hopefully get there one day. but this is a challenge to western leadership. all of the things of the wes claim that they gave to the world and maybe to some degree and still, you know, freedom of speech due process assembly all the in a religion, freedom of religion. they're turning their back on all of them. and remarkably, the post colonial world is picking up the baton slowly, but surely, garland, you know, i would take a different position. i would argue

a garland is quite correct. uh, these are people who see they see the people they are supposed to be governing as enemies. they want us to shut up. they want us to go a long uh it, you know, it could be people being censored, uh, and what they say about is real, but it could be any number of things. some of these platforms, as we all know, sensor people. we have a situation where at and here in the us now everyone talks on and on and on about democracy. they do not believe in democracy. they do not want the people to have a voice. that is the last thing they want to see. we have a situation where the democrats have said, we're not going to have any primaries at all. we're just gonna let by the coast through. so he could lose in a blow out, assuming of course they don't at the last minute pull a switch and pick somebody else. but there's not even a pretense of democracy, not even a pretense that they want the people to be heard from. that is the last thing they really want. well, you know, margaret, there's still

i have to find the media and the department of justice, on may 25, 2020 eric garland issued a memo tols in the department of justice especially federal prosecutors and investigators. simply flexing t put the memo ss partisan politics played no role in the decisions of federal investigators o and prosecutors regarding any investigation of criminal charges, that was in 2022. law enforcement officers and prosecutors never select the timing of public statement did not. the investigative steps, criminal charges of any other action any other manner or case for the purpose of affecting any election. or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage of any candidate for political party. such a purpose for the parents just the appearance of such a purpose is inconsistent with the department mission and the lives of federal prosecution. clout is something we could do that. 2020 the same exact memo that garland plagiarized, was issued in may 15, 2025 bill barr with the same exact language. in 2016 the same exact memo was issued by then attorney general loretta lynch with the same exact l

well what, what, what, how would you characterize this trend garland? well, i, i think what we're looking at is this is the essence of the unit polar order. this is the essence of the rules based order. us laid world order, all of the euphemisms that tony blink and use this to talk about how the neo cons view view the world it arbitrarily an arbitrary application of the law as opposed to rule of law. where in the u. s. can basically do anything they want to and no one can push back the problem with that is that now there are alternative options for countries, alternative options for corporations. and so now that the, the options are there in the past where a particular country corporation, nation, etc, didn't have a lot of alternatives as far as international economic and can infrastructure. they can that have bricks is rising china, russia, etc. and so they could get away with it before because people didn't have other places to sink their money. now that there are other places to think their money, people are simply going to look for other options tha

i don't even know where to begin. garland with that number. oh, well i, i think it reflects a desperation. it's kind of like a person who jo was, you know, you've heard the infamous analogy of someone who yells to get what they want. they don't get what they want. and the only thing they know how to do is jo, louder and louder, and the letter that you all, the less they get, what they, what the us empire, when, after russia, you know, it was a full spectrum attack on, but diplomatically, economically, etc. with the economic situation didn't pan out the way they had suspected, they decided, okay, we'll take more, we'll get more if we can just take their money. i think some of it also is out of your anger and emotion, the anger, it rushes to have the temerity to exist and to try to, you know, expand the there and you know, their economic power in the world which every country has a right to do so they're angry, they're trying to take them out, they don't know what to do, and they're just going to take more and more. and of course, let's not forg

garland will meet with the families later today. his visit comes ahead of the botched police response to the uvalde school massacre. the review comes a year and a half after the mass shooting at robb elementary, the deadliest u.s. school shooting. even though there were numerous 911 calls made from classrooms, the responding officers waited outside those rooms for more than an hour. to this day there's not been any serious accountability or explanation for such a delayed response. instead there's been silence, contradictions from law enforcement, public officials and school administrators leaving grieving families haunted by the idea that their loved ones could have been saved that day. ending school shootings feels like such a daunting task, given the degree and amount of gun violence in the united states and the unwillingness of so many officials to do anything about it. there does appear to be some kind of hope. a new study published by the medical journal of pediatrics shows that anonymous tips work in preventing school shooting

don't give garland an excuse ton prosecute biden for contempt. issue a new subpoena.a deposition is vital and important. it's used. it's not the politicians asking the questions. it's the investigators and lawyers, steep in the knowledge of the case. they know the documents inside and out. they ask penetrating skillful pros ex aplg nation questions. you don't get that in a public hearing with a five-minute limit. the panel members deliver speeches and rarely ask a question. that's what hunter biden and his lawyer wanted. they shouldn't get it. >> hannity: thank you. a praoefrb ate you all. i can't believe monday is iowa. coming up more bad news for h hillary clinton onou this friday night as we continue. >> houthi remembers fire into international shipping lanes into the red sea. the strikes began yesterday when more than 60 houthi targets were struck. president biden has called those strikes a success. mixed reaction on capitol hill. some welcoming the strikes as necessary and overdue. others slamming the president for acting alone without congressional approval. aga

today, attorney general merrick garland made it clear that the justice department practice referred to as the 60-day rule will not in any way inhibit the trial schedule in the two federal prosecutions of donald trump. the 60-day rule genuinely restricts federal investigative activity involving john politicians for 60 days prior to an election. >> is there a date in your mind where it might be too late to bring these trials to fruition? again, to stay out of the way of the elections as the department policies require? >> i say what i said, which is that the cases were brought last year. the prosecutor has urged a speedy trials. with which i agree. and this is now in the hands of the judicial system, not in our hands. >> donald trump's claim, that he had any president to the knighted states has total immunity from criminal prosecution for anything done while president, is currently being considered by the federal district court of appeals unwashed in d. c.. donald trump's appeals have of appeal that notion of presidential immunity. a really written by trial judge tanya chutkan, who is pr

attorney general merrick garland who is here in uvalde going as far to say had law enforcement acted faster, lives could have been saved. >> but within minutes of arriving inside the school, officials on scene transitioned from creating the scene as active shooter situation to treating the shooter as a barricaded subject. this was the most significant failure. and it meant that the victims remained trapped with the shooter for more than an hour after the first officers arrived on scene. >> can you imagine the horror that those children witnessed. then the police chief at the time focused on evacuating surrounding classrooms, waiting for more tactical gear to arrive, and even tried negotiating with the suspect, all of those the doj says are decisions that run counter to what are the accepted practices when it comes to dealing with an active shooter situation but the big headline out of this instead of treating it as an active shooter situation, pete arradondo said he treated it as a barricaded subject and that is why they acted differently. i've got to tell you, i spoke to a great gra

i want to note that while biden did appoint the attorney general merrick garland, garland appointed a special counsel, jack smith, an independent entity, to pursue those cases. both the -- classified documents case against former president trump. but merrick garland has also appointed special councils to look into president biden, rob hur looking into the possible mishandling of classified documents by president biden, and also president biden's son. who also has a special counsel who was filed to criminal cases against him. so the idea that president biden is somehow weaponizes justice department to slowly go after trump, there's no evidence to support that. in fact attorney general merrick garland has appointed multiple special councils, one for trump, one for biden, and a different one for his son. there really is no evidence to support this idea that this is election interference by president biden. >> paula, please stand by, we have cnn legal analyst elliott williams with us to parse through some of these claims. i want to go back to this idea that the judge doesn't want to accep

attorney general garland today made clear that that rule is no longer a public-able here. the justice department brought its cases against trump last year. they are now on public record. the proverbial cat is out of the bag. but what about the timing? when do these trials actually start. the attorney general answered that question today as well. >> the matter is now in the hands of a trial judge to determine what trials will take place. >> that means the ultimate decision, as far as timing, for trump's federal election interference case, lies with the federal judge overseeing the case, judge tanya check-in. and yesterday, judge chutkan hinted she may ultimately delay the scheduled march 4th trial date. now, that's not coming entirely out of nowhere. this case has effectively been frozen since early december. nothing has been able to advance for five weeks now. the cases paused while trump appeals a decision about whether he can have the entire case tossed out on the premise that he should have presidential immunity. we are expecting a ruling from the appeals court on that

i think garland is trying to make clear here that there would be real consequences. you're also right that the justice department took time to bring those charges. now, garland is trying to argue that that is in itself proof that the justice department was being cautious and deliberate and not taking on a kind of act of political revenge here but trying to make really sure there were credible charges to bring. >> thank you so much for joining us this evening. i really appreciate it. >> thanks. >>> later -- bye. later in the show, republicans on the defense and running scared after the fall of roe. on display today in a really big way. >>> plus, warnings from experts on atock racys about normalizing trump. >>> ahead of new hampshire, we got warnings from gop rivals that he's just a political loser. >> reality is, who lost the house for us? who lost the senate? who lost the white house? donald trump, donald trump, donald trump. nald trump, donaldru tmp power e*trade's award-winning trading app makes trading easier. with its customizable options chain, easy-to-use tools
