>> doesn't seem like justice to me, certainly not spending a couple of days hanging out with jesse jackson at the rainbow/push coalition. i don't know i could hire writers to write this story that would give me a narrative like this, and i would think this is fine, this is totally believable. kennedy: this final twist something else. i think this is something else. kamala harris knows jussie smollett, that's the hillary's side. rahm emanuel is on obama side, who is saying everything about this smells. it is a great set-up for a showdown. the panel returns a little bit later. much more, including republicans now calling on democrats to apologize over collusion accusations that didn't pan out in the mueller report. will the left finally move on, or will they continue to beat a dead horse? i will ask mark about that. there he is. our grandparents checked their smartphones zero times a day. times change. eyes haven't. that's why there's ocuvite. screen light... sunlight... longer hours... eyes today are stressed. but ocuvite has vital nutrients... ...to help protect them. ocuvite. eye nutritio

you see hillary clinton along with jesse jackson. it comes at a very difficult time in this country as we talk about race in politics and race in equal justice across. we're going to have a live report coming up shortly throughout this hour. we're also, though, following some major breaking political news. donald trump now appears poised to have to use the very first veto of his presidency. senator rand paul, republican senator rand paul, we should say, has now announced publicly that he will go against the president and vote to overturn donald trump's emergency declaration at the border. the senator telling the bowling green daily news, "i can't vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by congress. we may want more money for border security, but congress didn't authorize it. if we take away those checks and balances, it's a dangerous thing." that makes senator paul the fourth republican to publicly announce a planned vote against the emergency declaration, which would be enough to overturn it

>> the prosecutor just released a letter are from jesse jackson sr.'s coalition that said smollett performed community service at that facility in chicago, but just for two days. >> brian todd reporting for us, thank you very much. we'll have more on the story later including my interview with the chicago mayor rahm emanuel. let's do that interview right now. he's joining us live. mayor, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >> you say that a grand jury could not have been clearer in its indictment of smollett. having only seen a sliver of the evidence. how do you explain this truly dramatic reversal today? >> i can't. it's that simple. nor can anybody else explain it. if it was easy to explain, the states attorneys office would have been out explaining it. here's my basic anger. there's no sense from this person who now the states attorney said committed the actual crime here or the hoax. there's no sense of remorse. the fact is in this act, he not only obviously all the resources police to get to the bottom of an alleged hate crime that

jesse jackson got involved sticking up for kim foxx, so it's really a legal question.s bar association, they call this move to drop those charges, they call it, quote, abnormal. so this argument is going to roll on for quite some time. fred. >> oh gosh. so the outgoing mayor, rahm emanuel, he was furious. he sent a bill in the amount of $130,000 so smollett for the cost of the investigation, but you mentioned there was, i guess, a deal made. you pay that $10,000 back, but did they miss their opportunity to try to get him to pay $130,000 as well on condition? as a condition? >> smollett's lawyers are saying he paid all he needs to pay and, in fact, the only thing that is owed now is an apology to jussie smollett from rahm emanuel and the superintendent of the police. yeah, $130,000, he's supposed to pay that by thursday. now, the question is will they see any of that money? probably not because he wasn't actually convicted of anything. so it's then difficult to ask him for money for a crime that he wasn't actually convicted of. so legal opinion -- >> that would be an ad

he did campaign for jesse jackson for president repeatedly.is father used to be maybe he put down the bong too. i don't know. i read at least that you can't believe everything you read that he has come over to the bright side. >> tucker: interesting. we have to drug test at some point for candidates. chris plant, nice to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: a lawyer and form are advisor to president obama's campaign david tafuri he joins us tonight to assess this newest candidate to the primary field. >> hi, tucker. >> tucker: if you could summarize the candidacy of broker. how would you? >> on behalf of the republicans it's fear. you just spent 10 minutes being sarcastic of beto o'rourke as did chris. you are pretty funny. came up with good attacks on him. some of the attacks that the republican also use. >> tucker: easy. >> there is a super pac in iowa fund for growth that's already put up ads against beto. they started last week before he even declared for president. that's because republicans are scare of him as a candidate. why are they

and they drop the case because he had done community service with jesse jackson's organization.y would not proceed because they would probably get community service anyway. >> melissa: it was enough for kim foxx to recuse yourself after that text exchange. >> marie: there is reporting that the jussie smollett side thought they were not handling the case fairly and there have been a lot of leaks coming out of the police department about the investigation. i think that gives us some insight on why they want to the fbi to step in here. i was quite puzzled yesterday because it seemed like -- i just had no idea what was going on. i think we all wear. i do think there was a scent that maybe he was overcharged initially, but then to go back the other direction to drop all charges -- we have to get more information about what actually happened here. it's not unusual for these cases to be sealed, if the charges were dropped. >> melissa: this is very little to make people feel like the justice system in chicago was working on every side. it just undermines that city's ability to police it

that term was not used until jesse jackson -- >> so you don't belief thve tha president obama was born in the united states? >> that's not what i said. i said the birth certificate, there's forensic analysis and it's fraudulent. don't beat up on my client because of that. it's inappropriate. do some research. >> aernnderson, i may not belie as readily as you do, perhaps, government explanations. >> do you believe the president was born in the united states? >> i said, and larry's right on this, i want to see the original birth records from kenya. that will settle it. i don't know where he was born. i'm happy to see the 1961 records and admit i was wrong. the state of hawaii will not show those records to anyone, include to law enforcement. i don't know why. >> you did admit you were wrong about something just today, which i want to point out, you apologized for a false story about seth rich stealing e-mails and releasings them to wikileaks, stealing them from the dnc zp. >> and when i'm wrong, i'll admit it. there was one story, i relied upon an article that admiral lyons had written i

and the reverend jesse jackson is right here in the bay area this weekend.ined other faith based leaders at third baptist church in san francisco yesterday to condemn violence against muslims. civil rights leader called a community members from all walks of life to take a stand against hatred and racism. he also spoke about income inequality which he said leads to intolerance. >> the gaps between us really are economic goops, too few have too much and too many have virtually nothing. we must not become so trapped in cynicism and despair we forget how many progress we are making against those odds. >> tonight, reverend jackson will speak at a 10 year gala in oakland to remember oscar grant. tomorrow, he will be guest preacher at the third baptist church. >>> a memorial service will be held today for victor mcilhainy the son of a councilmember. he and friends went to a convenience store and they were robbed. one of the robbers shot him. and he later died at the hospital. today services scheduled from noon until 2 p.m. at auditorium at oakland temple hill. >>>
