and oregon's "can similarly be traced to the rise of the ku klux klan." even though history has reached an inflection point, the non-unanimous jury story isn't over quite yet. the convictions of those who haven't yet exhausted the appeals process are vacated, and they're entitled to be retried. but what about those with final convictions, imprisoned following 10-2 or 11-1 votes? the supreme court hasn't ruled yet whether ramos applies retroactively to them, though it's expected to later this year in a case called "edwards v. vannoy." in the meantime, kaplan and the criminal justice reform clinic, along with legal colleagues working for free, are challenging dozens of those convictions in oregon state court. but it's not always easy figuring out which cases to challenge. >> unfortunately, oregon has never maintained any record of who has a non-unanimous or a unanimous conviction. what about in cases where the lawyer told their client "you're never going to be successful at trial, so take this plea deal. we have non-unanimous juries. you're a black man. you

recently falsely claimed the early nra help defend freed slaves during reconstruction against the ku klux klanese go beyond historical revisions and our fabulous inventions, but they allowed them to claim gun control is self is racist, not them, and gun control is not only racist but actually genocidal. the problem is this is ridiculous and no holocaust scholar support this they or reconstructionist story, there story about prelaves. the problem is the modern nra, even as it is waning, even as it looks like it is going to dissolve as we know it and reincorporate in texas, even as it is being pummeled by thnew york attorney general lawsuit where the evidence originated from within the nra with oliver north, despite this, their ideology is something they have convinced the overwhelming majority of elected officials in the gop, especially on the national level come to believe, along with any if not most of the 74 million people who voted for trump's reelection. and that is the problem. they have convinced a great many people that even background checks which will appear supported back in 1999, by

america's first domestic terror organization, the ku klux klan was born in the aftermath of the civil war to terrorize african-americans. as merrick garland noted, the department of justice was founded to secure the civil rights promised by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. and the first attorney general pointed by president graham led a battle to protect black voting rights from the violence of white supremacists, successfully prosecuting hundreds of cases against members of the ku klux klan. the insurrections who stormed on january 6th did not wear white robes and hoods. they might as well have. they have the latest incarnation of violent white supremacist movements that have terror rised on basis of race, and religion and national origin for more than 150 years. let me be clear at the outset, i've said this on many occasions and it bears repeating. i condemn all violence regardless of ideology. i hope my republican colleagues will join me today in acknowledging as department of homeland security found last october that violent white supremacy is the biggest threat in the homeland

america's first domestic terror organization the ku klux klan was born in the aftermath of the civil war to terrorize formerly enslaved african-americans. as judge garland noted at his nomination hearing the department of justice was founded during reconstruction to, quote, secure the civil rights pronl ised by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. he went on to note that the first attorney general appointed by president grant led, quote, a concerted battle to protect black voting rights from the violence of white supremacists, successfully prosecuting hundreds of cases against members of the ku klux klan. the insurrectionists who stormed the capitol on january 6th did not wear white robes and hoods, they might as well have. they were the latest incarnation of violent white supremacist movements that has terrorized fellow americans on the basis of their race, we will john and national origin for more than 150 years. let me be clear at the outset, i have said this on many occasions and it bears respeegt, i condemn all violence regardless of ideology. i hope my republican colleagues will

i did not like that the ku klux klan was democrat. and my mother had told me how hurtful it was for her to see black people in school and in town mistreated. host: caller, let me stop you there quickly. what do you identify as now? caller: i became no party this year because on both sides of the parties i see hypocrisy. i see them tearing people apart. both parties. and i even had to quit watching news, fox news, cnn which used to be my favorite. they all had the same talking points. hour after hour. and basically they are lies. i want to know if miss chumley thinks that we can go back to journalism when it was reported, when they were reporting the facts and not their opinions. and also i would like to know what's going on in the rest of the world? it's like our journalists want to keep us in a bottleneck that we don't see the full picture of what's going on over the world. host: that's terry there. i forget the state. ms. chumley, go ahead. guest: as for the media, the media is hateful and vial for the most part. there are a lot of

it's the ku klux klan's what they thought was the confederate flag. mitch landrieu is the guy who struggled over it, talked to lonnie, i'm sure, talked to me, talked to wynton marsalis about what to do and he did the right things. these things aren't melted down into bullets. they're in museums. we interpret, interpret, interpret. this is what this man spends his life doing. that's what we've got to do. and nothing's been erased. nothing has been erased. and the problem is that sometimes there is a tendency on the other side to want to erase. and to say you can't say this anymore or you can't talk about that. we've got to continue to talk about nathan bedford forrest, but do we have to name a high school after him? i don't think so. >> so we should also note, i think it was this past year, that mississippi finally changed its flag, correct? >> correct. >> took a while. >> i do want to bring in the audience to a couple of polling questions we pulled together to get a sense of where everyone's head is and that can give us another jumping-off point for t

and he was chased out of medicine perish by the ku klux klan in 1879 and her brothers followed him toagain, records third or in the library of congress and the national archives so i was really able to rely on those senate hearings about that exit this movement in order to tell their story. once they got to st. louis, they joined st. paul immaturity which had a history of taking in recent migrants and then they learned how to be gardeners -- barbers. >> that's a good segue to this question. what surprised do you or amazed you the most in your research? >> so, just like other people who are my age who had heard of madam walker, we knew she started her career company and that was kind of the whole story. but as i began to do research about her, i discovered that she was an international entrepreneur, she was a pioneer in the modern hair care industry. but that she had been, when she had some influence, she use that influence as a philanthropist and as a really outspoken political activist. speaking out on behalf of black soldiers during world war i, participating in the naacp's anti-lyn

they're like the ku klux klan.ing love for themselves. and they would guard themselves with guns and guard their community with guns because you're trying to kill us. you know, it's like if you don't protect your family, if a burglar comes into your house and you don't protect your family, what are you saying about yourself and what are you saying about how you feel about your family? everybody understands that scenario. but i think the black community in america, there's a lot happening, these people occupying their spaces and oppressing these people, and black people around the world, you know. if you don't stand up for yourself, it doesn't make sense. it makes sense to protect yourself. but not only do they protect themselves nape loved themselves. , you know. and the protection was just a manifestation of a form of love, you know. >> trevor: one thing that really stood out to me in this film was realizing how people are connected around the globe without even realizing it. when you watch the story of the black

disgruntled southern whites that white free blacks and they turn to terror in the form of the ku klux klanagine a worse time for someone like lincoln to leave the stage. everything he's learned and the esteem he's held in is needed to get us through reconstruction, and he's murdered. and the guy who replaces him couldn't be a worse pick for that moment. >> lincoln's as is is -- assassination elevates andrew johnson to the presidency. he was put on the ticket to appeal to border state slave owners. >> andrew johnson was incredibly racist. he has no personal interest in securing equality for black men. >> the radicals quickly realize he's siding with the southern whites over and over again. >> johnson's policy makes it easy to get a pardon if you were a high-level con federal to i shall if. he says, i'm not going to tell you who can vote. that sends a signal that there will not be a lot of oversight, that they can do a lot of things to deny african-americans rights and to inflict violence on them without the possibility of being punished for it. >> in 1869, johnson is succeeded by ulysses s.

ku klux klan, appears and reappears every 50 years. look at history, 1865, 1915, mid 60's, and now again in some new form. the effort of voter suppression appears and reappears in history. when it first started in 1890, during jim crow era there was something called a mississippi plan, the mississippi plant was a ingenious device by racist to include blacks from voting -- preclude blacks from voting, answer questions on the constitution, pay a poll tax, all of these were designed from stopping african-americans from voting. they were successful. they drove down voting to levels we have never seen again. it worked. now, there is an effort underway to impose voter suppression across the united states again, to suppress the votes of black and brown people. why is this a recurring theme in american history? what does it say about us that we want to make it more difficult for people to exercise their right to vote? if there is broad, go after it. certainly, this president has proven flames -- claims of fraud don't meet the evidence test whe

. >> sean: can't help but note that the same guy who partnered with the former ku klux klan member to stop the integration of schools as a senator. also weird because in 2020, 2020! that's a year ago, last year. democrats expect that's right. jackie schumer and the company, they use the filibuster a whopping 327 times. republicans, they used at one time. it was it racist then, joe? are you calling your fellow democrats, colleagues racists? all 327 times? what about when you used it? when you are a senator? of course, joe is lying and just like he lied about george's new election law in "the washington post" of all things, gave him four pinocchios for lying. ultimately filibuster reform is about ramming the radical socialist agenda through the halls of congress without any kind of negotiations, no oversight, no debate, just like they have been ruling through executive fiat, ignoring the coequal branch of government. the latest far less plan revolves around a $3 trillion so-called infrastructure, though in reality a phase one of the new green deal, think of solyndra on steroids, and the

on it, this thing could have been written back in the '50s and '60s in the deep south, in the ku klux klan era and civil rights and violent era of lynchings. have we changed at all? it seems we've not made progress, that we're back almost to where we started in the civil rights movement. and now our own government is telling us we're in this for the long haul. this threat's not going away. in fact, it could become exacerbated. and there's hints of, you know, the political and societal elements of this. that's code word for conspiracy theories, fabrications, political leaders who fan and fuel this movement. it's here for a while. if there's one good news piece out of this it's that our government is finally saying here's the truth, here's the intel, we're sharing it with you. >> frank, it's bracing to hear you talk like that. we are at least fortunate to know there are more good people on the home team than there are bad actors out there to do us harm. jon, contained in the new reporting in the paper back edition of your book is a section about the temper of the former president. tell our v

but it kind of reminds me down in virginia where you had the black faced ku klux klan with ralph northamte out the storm. kennedy: because the two guys behind it were scandals were arguably worse. why am i resigning but mr. hands the over here, he gets to keep his job. well quickly in a slightly different direction got breaking news tonight white house withdrawing as the nation's chief budget official print the first cabinet defeat for the biden administration. robby, i never thought her nomination was going to go forward, what you see here? >> i'm glad about this news printed to that particular care for her. did focus a little bit on the fact sheet sent mean tweets of previously which was a little bit silly. she also had some curious views. she is more of hawkish hillary clinton type democrat. particularly on foreign policy. so to have her in the top policymaking role from a libertarian not interventionalists foreign policy standpoint she was sorely not my favorite person to do that. she talked about making a country like libya the national data, not our literature did that at all. kenn

one can't help but note that that is the same god that partnered with the former ku klux klan member to stop the immigration of schools as a senator. it is also weird because in 2020, 2020, that's a year ago. last year. democrats. that's right. chucky schumer and company. they used the filibuster a whopping 327 times. republicans, they used it one time. was it racist then, joe? are you calling your fellow democrats, your colleagues racist? all 327 times? what about when you used it, when you were senator? of course joe was lying just like he lied about george's new election law giving "the washington post." ultimately, it's all about ramming their radical socialist agenda without any kind of negotiations, no oversight or debate. just like they have been ruling and ignoring a coequal branch of government. the latest round of $3 trillion phase one of the green new deal. they are going to raise your taxes, overcome about a good whopping $4 trillion. by the way, that includes an income tax hike, corporate tax hikes, tax hike on small business, tax hike on capital gains. they are already

people walking the street in ku klux klan gear.uilding in a white neighborhood in boston, a message for all the black kids, all the black students being bussed in to see on their way to school every morning. we blurred what the word is but you know what the word is. the trauma those kids had to endure. it would have been -- it would be almost unbelievable if there weren't the pictures to prove it. >> i remember riding the bus to protect the kids going up to south boston. signs hanging off the buildings [ bleep ] go home. pictures of monkeys. people felt it was all right to attack children. >> i had no idea what to expect. i didn't know anything about south boston. i didn't know anything about they didn't like us. i didn't know anything that was in store for us. but when we got there it was like a war zone. i came back and i told my mom and i never forget, i said mom, i am not going back to that school unless i have a gun. exactly, at 14 years old. i am not going back to that school. >> that overt racism, the racist attacks in bosto

parenthood that supports racism and eugenics, and let's see, once bragged about speaking to the ku klux klanwould support no money going to an organization that was founded by such an individual, but meanwhile, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have gone there, i'm sure he would support canceling that, when you? >> absolutely not. effect of the matter is we go to universities that were constructed and made by salves, the white house was built by slaves, and now they are doing . should we destroy universities? some advocate for that, i very much don't. >> sean: let me bring in leo terrell. leo? >> you know, i just heard rhetoric that is a continuation of the program that we had on your radio show. this professor would not tell us who has been harmed by these books. let me give you some historical context. as a civil rights lawyer who knows what discrimination -- those books are historical books. those books talked about the weaknesses in this country and how this country has grown. ask you on the radio show, now national tv, name me one person, first and last name, who has been harmed

i'm reminded that the ku klux klan was broken in alabama not by criminal prosecutions but by a civil. so civil suits are a viable option even in things that maybe our viewers think should be criminal in nature. >> sure. you know, the issue here is this, ali. criminal cases, as the public knows, can move in a frus straitsingly slow fashion. they can linger on appeals for a long time. that doesn't mean they're not valuable. it just means when we have a system that's properly functioning protects the rights of criminal defendants. in civil cases, information tends to leak out at an earlier stage. you have dispositive motions that can be filed or arguments in court where truth comes to light. ultimately in the situation like the one trump face where there are ten pending civil lawsuits, it may well be the kum la active effect of the lawsuits if he loses that could have a very bad impact on his finances, something we know he's incredibly sensitive about. some of these cases, ali, also go to his personal finances, corporate finances, where he infamously told bob mueller in the course of th

if not, maybe there's that civil case you mentioned, representative swalwell has made under the ku klux klanell. so there is both possibilities here, civil and criminal. >> neal katyal, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >>> and coming up, the top democrat in the new york state senate, andrea stewart-cousins, is now calling on new york governor andrew cuomo to resign. that's next.
