the other is what maxine waters did. i thought kevin mccarthy was exactly right today to move to strip her of her chairmanship. look, the big difference between the right of free speech, which everyone has, and the responsibility that a member of the congress has under the congress's own rules, and it's very clear that maxine waters, by going to a place that was already having riots, and making the comments she did in essence saying, she wanted to substitute the rule of politicians for the rule of law, she behaved in a way that i think absolutely deserves to have her lose her chairmanship, and every democrat in the house voted in favor of defending maxine waters. voted against drawing a line in the sand. i think it's a vote that they will regret because i think the country is pretty sick of this stuff. and they understand what's going on, and they realize, you know, these are people who are demagogues, liars, and what's more important, they are costing the lives of innocent americans. they are undermining the ability of

leading democrats are not going to punish maxine waters because they are not embarrassed of maxine waters they agree with max seen waters. that cnn reporter asked maxine waters today if maxine waters should apologize for what she said for whipping the mob into violence. no pelosi said quote, maxine talks about confrontation in the manner of the civil rights movement. what an insult by the way for the actual civil rights movement. then she was asked if maxine waters' comments incited violence and pelosi said this quote. no, absolutely not. so in the fails of that grotesque display, silence from the democratic party's usual moral chorus. the lincoln project tells you so deeply cares about democracy is not running ads against maxine waters, obviously. david frum hasn't scolded her in the that atlantic he is not going. to say "the washington post" doesn't seem to care. why is that? why aren't they saying anything? obviously they support maxine waters. they think her calls for violence are justified or at least they are afraid to say otherwise which is a distinction without a difference. this

maxine waters is free to say stupid things. i don't want maxine waters prosecuted. but i don't want imbeciles naming donald trump tried to incite a riot, either, by asking people to march peacefully and patriotically. it just goes to show you one thing. conservatives, we actually have principals. liberals don't. they believe in power. and they will do and say anything to get there, including throwing principles to the wind, which they do every single time. >> sean: dan bongino, as always, thank you. here also with reaction to our breaking news tonight, former speaker of the house, fox news contributor newt gingrich. let me say on this very same question, mr. speaker, if i may. you've got the silence of the left all last summer, in the middle of riots all around the country. then, you've got democrats speaking out loudly about insurrection, forgetting the words that donald trump used, many of you will peacefully and patriotically now march to the capitol so your voices may be heard, and now, silence yet again over maxine waters' comments, i find incredible hypocrisy,

maxine waters backtracking saying she was just anti-maxine flying in to show support. is about peace. you know, listen, let's back up, manages even waters grew up in poverty. she grew up with a single mom on welfare. she is also accused of inciting violence in the rodney king riots where more than five dozen people were killed and 2,000 injured. in other words, that she wasn't, she was more vociferious on the side of action on the streets and not about peace. what do you say to that? >> i mean look her record, what she did in this case stands for the principle of being unprincipled. of being, celebrating emotionalism at all costs. think about what she did. she interfered with the trial where she wanted the officer to be convicted and so now she is in a position where he can use her as a basis to get out from that conviction. it is almost as if maxine doesn't care so much about the individual justice in this case but wants to say there is a flawed racist system that she and her great wisdom should be attacking every day and night. it is political huckserism. it is opport

todd: congresswoman maxine waters in hot water over this remark. >> got to get more confrontational.that comment projects the case, calling the congresswoman an embarrassment. . my zone? lowering my a1c and losing some weight. now, back to the show. ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worse

maxine waters is not the issue here and we cannot be distracted by maxine waters. on and everyone's watching the fight in the stands. of course, the defense is going to use maxine waters as a defense. they're going to use anything they with use. that is obvious. but maxine waters is not the problem when it comes to state violence against black people. we have got to keep our eye on the prize. the people who are criticizing here, quite frankly, most of the people are the insurrectionist people who supported the insurrection on capitol hill or the people who support the lie about the election, or the people in many ways who are supporting state violence against black people. so was it strategic for maxine waters to say what she said in this moment? no. she needs to be more responsible with her words. and considering how long she has been in the congress and the public eye, she should know better. but was maxine waters really calling for people to loot and riot? i think most people with half a brain know that's not what she was doing. should she have been more respons

in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law. >> harris: he just called congresswoman maxine watersoked on the hot chocolate then. a stunning moment in the derek chauvin trial yesterday. he called out waters after her saying they need to get more confrontational if he is cleared in george floyd's death. the judge made the comments after chauvin's defense moved to declare a mistrial. a motion the judge did deny at this moment. andy mccarthy is a former assistant u.s. attorney for southern district of new york. fox news contributor. i was live tweeting this as it was happening. people are invested in what's going on now that we hit the deliberations, what the questions would be at the very end with both sides. when the defense pressed for a mistrial congresswoman maxine waters' name came into the conversation. why? >> well, obviously, harris, you have a united states representative who is out there not only undermining the judicial process, which is bad enough, but doing it in a way that i think common sense tells you it is basically jury intimidation. that's really serious business.

maxine waters says it's time for more confrontation.udge is now warning she could actually be helping the defense. and that is where we begin tonight with senior correspondent mike tobin live from minneapolis britt hi, mike. >> hello there, shouldn't be that juries done for the evening, but they haven't gone home. the jurors are now sequestered. we near the end of this highly anticipated trial, a california congresswoman has managed to grab the headlines. >> california representative maxine waters injected herself into the sea of protesters and cameras in minnesota and sparked a request for a mistrial. [indistinct] >> we've got to get more active, more confrontational, we have to make sure they know we mean business. >> while he denied the mistrial, the judge said the comments may be grounds for an appeal as the jury was not sequestered at the time. >> i wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the world of law and the judicial branch in our function. i think if they want

maxine waters does not inspire a whole lot of people. maxine waters is one congresswoman and it's unfortunate that she said something about confrontation. i don't think she meant violence. she said that she was non-violent. >> harris: how would you know what she meant? she said stay in the streets and be more confrontational. how would you know what she meant? you said yourself you weren't there and haven't been to something like that. you didn't see. i don't know that she has flags. i don't even know why that's part of the conversation. but what she did have was what she did have was the floor at that moment, right? she took in a police escort and then stirred up trouble. and i will go to t.w. for his quick response before i have to go. >> maxine waters is one of the most powerful women in congress. the fact that she has consistently called for violence not only is it dangerous and reckless, it is a stain on americanism. because this woman has continued to call for violence against our police. called for violence against conservatives.

as to maxine waters, not jesse, as to maxine waters, clearly what she did was wrong. think that we need any more violence years. i don't think that violence is even going to help the case of people who are upset about what happened to george floyd. i think that it would in fact dilute attention on the real problem which is police brutality and instead allow people to talk about rioting or disruptions in the streets. >> dana: pete, if i can go to you, one thing from eric nelson, the defense attorney said that a reasonable police officer understands the intensity of the struggle and he talked about the fact that there was this chaos that was going on in the situation and george floyd was resisting, i want to get your take on that, but we are waiting on this press conference from the governor of minnesota and local officials in minneapolis, given your knowledge of the area, give us a sense of what that might feel like tonight? >> pete: it will be a tense scene, no doubt. watching it all today, and i did, i'm going to disagree with my good friend jesse watters and say tha

watch this propaganda explain what maxine waters really meant. >> representative waters come if you could, you said my actual words don't matter. i wonder why the white house isn't overcoming to the defensive waters on dell not given that she is facing an onslaught -- i wonder why the white house but has been saying that she was confrontational, she was obviously not threatening. that is what civil rights is. >> she also clarified her own remarks and i think that's the most powerful piece to .2. >> tucker: [laughs] that lady works for you. she literally works for public television. our leaders haven't always talked like there religious purposes come here was the speaker of the house today thanking george floyd because he died in orderr to make the democratic party more powerful, for his sacrifice, he says. watch this. >> thank you george floyd for sacrificing your life for justice. because of you and because of thousands, millions of people aroundse the world who came out for justice. your name will always be w synonymous with justice. unless we can change the law, this will beng an episo

and then maxine waters showed up. >> critics say that waters stoke the embers of what was already a tinderboxying she is "nonviolent and was talking about confronting the justice system. >> we have to let people know that -- >> bret: will interrupt this to bring you back live to st. paul where the press conference is just starting. that's the governor of minnesota, let's listen in. >> we are here this week because of that act, plain and simple at the end point where we watched a man's humanity be taken and then his life be taken. last may and june, we watch the pain, anger, heartbreak pour out into her streets here, across the country and throughout the world. the civil unrest to that a minnesota left 1,000 businesses in ruin and the live stream many with them. many of those were businesses of people of color. the very people that are traumatized by what we saw in george floyd. our state was shattered, the urgency for change was upon us and we came together by part assembly and passed a small package of reforms. a beginning. but we stalled. we were not able to pass the package to rebuild thos

. >> maxine waters may have given you something on appeal. >> maxine waters was very clear, convict officerek chauvin or first degree murder or we will burn it down. >> former president trump ripping the biden administration over the border policy. >> it's a horrible situation it could destroy our country. all he had to do was leave it alone. stay in mexico is a big deal. >> is the strongest antirioting pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country. if you riot, if you loot, you are going to jail. >> nasa's ingenuity helicopter hovered 10 feet above the martian service which was the first powered flight on another planet. >> this really is a wright's brother moment. brian: all right. here we go of the fate of exminneapolis police officer derek chauvin is now in the hands of the jury. ainsley: the case putting the nation on edge. congresswoman maxine waters urging prefers to become confrontational if schawfn acquitted. pete: that's right she said only first degree murder is acceptable. jackie ibaÑez is live as cities prepare for possible unrest. >> good morning, guys. cities across

people are sick of maxine waters.ment that she made during the protest was unhinged, uncalled for, irresponsible and dangerous. i think people that have been in the legislative branch should stay out of matters concerning judicial issues. this is one of the problems she has. maxine waters had our community destroyed in the 90s and try to do the same thing in 2021. that's why it's important for people to support our campaign to remove maxine waters from office. she thinks she has the district under control but she doesn't. we're failing. poor education, homeless increasing, gang violence is increasing. maxine waters, nowhere to be found. this is the time for us to remove her from office. >> martha: what is her biggest vulnerability? you mentioned a few issues. where do you see an inrode, a way to make people want a different choice? >> well, the lack of leadership that we've been able to get from maxine waters. i talk to people all the time. they tell me maxine waters hasn't done anything for us. yeah, she's an older b

now, this comes as the house is moving quickly to take up a resolution to censure maxine waters. it and using a procedure that could essentially force a vote. democrats behind the scenes are moving to try to kill that measure. they are actually on the phone, i'm told, from multiple sources, talking to their members, trying to lock down enough opposition to the measure so it could essentially die this afternoon. the question is whether or not they have the support. democrats, it's just uncertain at this point, because of how narrow of a majority the democrats maintain. they have to limit defections to just two of their members. it's unclear if that will happen. what they're arguing behind the scenes is that this -- maxine waters should not be singled out because republicans and their rhetoric in the run-up to the january 6th riot and capitol insurrection, they did not get punished themselves, including common moe brooks of alabama who riled up the trump supporters who later came to the capitol that day. earlier, i had a chance to ask the house republican whip, steve scalise about

that sounds like a familiar defense, it is exactly what maxine waters and her throughout washington areng today, after waters threatened the jury with violence if they did not find a guilty verdict. >> we have to fight for justice. and i am very hopeful, that i hope that we are going to get a verdict that will say guilty, guilty, guilty. we've got to stay on the streets. and we have got to get more answers. have to get more confrontational. we have to make sure they know that we mean business. >> tucker: so there is a reason police were all over the streets in cities across the country last night, and it is that, the threat of violence. and maxine waters threatened violence before the jury had even begun to consider the facts of the case. that is so far over the line that some democrats were shocked by it, yet no one condemned at. that includes the president and the most powerful people in the democratic party, speaker pelosi, and a of maryland. they came out and support. and state media, public broadcasting system, came over the next donation at the white house press briefing. watch th

this is steve scalise of louisiana with reporters on tuesday before the vote on maxine waters. [video clip] >> i have been clear in speaking out against political rhetoric that incites violence, but if you look at her comments the judge in the trial just yesterday acknowledged maxine waters's comments are so inflammatory it could because grounds for an appeal. and elected officials need to stop doing this and stay out of this. the fact that speaker pelosi covered for her, she was trying to incite violence and in fact there is violence going on right now because of her actions. this is not the first time she has made inflammatory comments. you will see mccarthy bring a resolution to the floor but i would like to see maxine waters apologize for the comments she has made. it is a powder cake there -- keg there and the worst thing you want to do is make it worse, especially to grounds for an appeal. we saw derek chauvin crossed the line, we should be all >> we'll have to leave at this point as the u.s. house is about to gavel in. c-span's long time commitment to gavel-to-gavel cove

congresswoman maxine waters didn't just stop at playing judge jury and executioner she actively called on people to defy a lawful curfew. but let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just as she is the site today in the past if speaker pelosi doesn't act against this dangerous with toric i will bring action this week liberals and conservatives 2 sides that will seemingly do anything to get a leg up on the other it should come as no surprise then that even the legal. system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games living in a world where you look at something like the case of george overthrow and the 2 parties see. completely different realities to how does how do people come together i don't think you know i think. that you need to go over. this simply choosing. one another we're never going to change the mind of the. trial it's going to end the vision between that you sides of this country well there's also been plenty of democrats speaking out in support of congresswoman waters house speaker nancy pelosi has said ther

maxine waters comes out of the civil rights movement, she's a rabble-rouser. she fought tooth and nail and she speaks for her constituents. she's a black woman. i am not going to dare and speak for her and tell her what to do. i will give you my point of view of what she said. do you think she's calling for violence? most people know it is not true. and the people who are speaking against her are using it politically. they know that's not what she's saying. that said, was what she said constructive? >> should she have said it? i can't tell her what to say but it is not helpful especially a word like "confrontational" in a moment right now in america. it is a problem from a leadership's perspective and a poli political's perspective because she gave republicans the ammunition to jump all over her. she gave critics and others the ammunition to jump all over her and take their eyes off what's really important. what's happening in the courtroom. our leaders' words matter. we have to focus on the issue of distraction. the actions on trial here are those of officer

maxine waters was speaking out on the verdict on saturday. so they very well could have heard that. >> martha: absolutely. >> what are they doing? they have to go through each of these three counts. a murder 2, murder 3 and a voluntary man slaughter. i think the best possibility of a conviction is going to be a felony murder charge. which is a murder 2 without intent. means you're committing a felony, felony excessive force, assault and a death occurs. that's the best alternative. i think there will be a conviction. they're going through all of this evidence. they have to be unanimous on all the verdicts or hang. mistry. >> martha: both sides did yeomans duty laying out potential doubt. the video is so damning. but they have a lot to think about. they heard about his condition and all of it from both sides. >> his condition? you mean his heart? >> and the drugs. >> and the drugs. >> two things that the defense will try to get -- they're going to try to peel off one of the jurors and plan doubt in their mind, right? >> that's all they have to

it has to do with maxine waters. was it free speech or something else? >> if you look up the definition of gaslighting you will seen maxine waters. what she said about republicans, in plain english telling writers and protesters to "get more confrontational." it's outrageous that she can turn this on republicans or conservatives. maxine waters represents everything that is wrong with the party and the left that has been wrong for several months. they been essentially saying if we don't get the verdict that we want then we are going to have to loot and burn the city to the ground and we are going to have people like kamala harris supporting bail. the democrats have a lot on their hands. the people in minnesota don't want people coming in from outside and inciting violence. they don't want their city to be destroyed. the police officers are being defunded and having crimes spiking. and then you have a representative of the people and california no less coming and saying, let's wreak more havoc, let's have more fun. this is absolutely tampering with the jur

host: congresswoman maxine water's comment -- maxine waters ' comments. om the new york post, "mad maxine." here are the words that maxine waters said when she went to minnesota and was talking with protesters about the chauvin case, saying, if we do not get a guilty verdict, we have got to stay on the streets and be more active. we've got to be more confrontational. we've got to make sure they know that we mean business. as the caller noted, that is the issue coming up in the courtroom yesterday. it was after the case was given to the jury that derek driven's -- derek chauvin's attorney asked the judge about those comments, saying it is something to consider in throwing out the case. here is that exchange with the judge. [video clip] >> this is the --, right? this jury should have been sequestered from the very beginning. i have made that clear. so, i have moved based on that for a mistrial. the idea is that it is a public trial, i think the court has accomplished that, but the media attention is so profound. it is such a modern problem to have where lite

. >> ben: given the comments from maxine waters most recently. before i let you go, brandon, it seems to me this is one more aspect where the elite media seeks to pit people against each other. law enforcement is often beloved within communities where they are ever present force against chaos and against violence. you know, it's often minority community business owners who want more cops around in order to keep them safe. what can we do to break that dynamic, given that it's something that seems so ever present? >> we just got speak out. you know, people like myself coming on television, speaking on behalf of defending law enforcement when they're doing the right thing and for people in the public to continue to thank law enforcement and continue to show up and support of the men and women who wear the badge and wear it honorably. it's sad that they are just pushing a narrative. george floyd would have never made the news if he was white. and i could tell you and i could prove that because tony penpa was killed that very similar way like george f

i want to start with minneapolis, the trial, maxine waters. i think everyone is on edge, certainly cities are bracing for the verdict in this trial, minneapolis itself has so much at stake. now you have that video of maxine waters that has shaken things up on capitol hill. clearly the judge seems confident that it shouldn't be relevant to the jury's deliberations today. but how are people on the hill and across the country thinking about this verdict, what are the stakes here? >> good morning. the stakes are high. i mean, kevin mccarthy is going to at least on capitol hill, i mean and everywhere i said assume they are high as well, kevin mccarthy is going to move to censure maxine waters, a very rare procedure which has only happened four times i believe in the last 40 years. charlie rangel was the last person censured, for misusing funds and not paying his taxes. so quite the gulf between what rangel did and what maxine waters did. waters has suggested -- or nancy pelosi suggested on waters' behalf that she was talking about being more confro

derek chauvin after i will resume, this as the trial judge criticizes congresswoman maxine waters forments. >> i will give you congresswoman waters give you something on appeal, the trial being overturned. i wish they would stop talking about this case, they want to give their opinions, they should do so in a respectful and in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the constitution. their failure to do so is up aren't. stuart: congresswoman waters had police protection in minnesota at her request. meanwhile florida's governor rhonda santos is doing something about possible rioting. he signed a new antiriot law. listen to this. >> if you write, if you lose, if you harm others particularly if you find harm a law enforcement officer during one of these violent assemblies you are going to jail. we will hold you accountable, not necessarily in florida, where cities burnt. people were being harmed, to stand down. you are responsible for the damage, not let the mob win the day. stuart: that law goes into effect immediately. i will tackle all of this in my take at the top of the 10:00

maxine waters knew better. she really did. she still opens her mouth, but it's okay. god is going to take care of everything. >> host: that's ronald in oklahoma. this is ray, ithaca, new york, says derek chauvin is not guilty. guilty. go ahead tragic i think not guilty just because i have a reasonable doubt. i'm not saying he's innocent but i do think there's a reasonable doubt in our system when there is reasonable doubt you have to vote not guilty. >> host: more from eric nelson attorney for derek chauvin. his argument for reasonable doubt in that trial in closing arguments yesterday here's eric nelson. >> there's lots of one deaths that could of happened, -- what yes, what should it happen, lots of them and lots of regards. we have to analyze this case on the perspective of the reasonable police officer at the precise moment with the totality of the circumstances when it comes to use force. we have to look at the cause of death to determine did mr. floyd died exclusively of his six-year, or were there other contributing factors? that were not the natural result of

by the way, i will never understand as long as i live why the so-called black leaders maxine waters, people who claim to speak for black people are sitting by and allowing black political power to disappear. like in a generation i really don't think that whoever replaces maxine waters in corporate is going to be listened to by anyone as a numerical matter it won't matter. african-americans who by and large have been here for 400 years. ancestors taken here, 400 years ago, they will have no say in how the country runs because, as a mathematical question it just won't matter. no one wants to say this out loud. but it's true. and it has nothing to do with race. it has to do with the people who live here are being disempowered by a new group brought in without their consent by a political party that cares only about political power. if you frame it that way, i think everyone can kind of wake up and realize what's happening. >> mark: yeah. you are absolutely right. the black americans will be the first victims of this. and they will be rendered demographically irrelevant and they will won

so, how dare he, at this point, have a discussion about maxine waters?nd clean up his own house. >> just in terms of what she said, though, is it helpful, at a time like this? i mean, i -- you know, if a conservative republican had said that about, you know, a rally of pro-trump protestors, a lot of democrats would, no doubt, say, wait a minute. they are telling people to be confrontational with police when they're on the streets. is that really helpful? >> i think, what maxine waters says was that we should confront the system that's created the individuals have to being out there to protest. >> she didn't actually say that. >> that's what we need to -- that's what we need to confront, on a regular basis. that, you know, police officers are killing our children. i have four sons, that i worry about all the time. a black husband, black children, a black father. and my own, black father, a police officer, wants very much, who have been on the new york city police force for 30 years wants more than anything to remove bad cops. because the worst thing a goo

and even the notion of saying that somehow maxine waters has sort of spoiled the justice system shows us the kind of desperation that's out there. but in terms of historically, this reminds me of 1980 and miami, the overtown rebellion that happened after four officers were acquitted in the death of a black man, a black motorist who was a former military veteran. 1992 with los angeles in the aftermath of the rodney king verdict in simi valley. 2001 in cincinnati. so there's been these verdicts that we've waited for really at least since 1980. this is going to be the biggest, but there is a kind of precedent here in terms of waiting for this kind of justice. >> yeah. jon, let's talk about that a little bit more, mentioning the unrest and cities are preparing for unrest now. how important will president biden's leadership be after we have reached a verdict? how important will his leadership be in navigating the country through what one senior white house official is calling a, quote, unquote, tinderbox? >> i think the president -- i think biden is particularly well equipped for this mome

but you got it right congresswoman maxine. waters didn't just stop at playing judge jury and executioner she actively called on people to defy a lawful curfew. that meant that then. let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just a she is the site today in the past as speaker pelosi doesn't act against the stains of tarik i will bring action this week liberals and conservatives 2 sides that will seemingly do anything to get a leg up on the other it's a come as no surprise then that even the legal system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games we're living in a world where you look at something like the case of george floyd over the trial and the 2 parties see completely opposite things they live in completely different reality and so how does that how did people come together to do that i don't think they do i think that it's at best it's were it to ever closer to. simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the mind of the tension tha

during the june the trial democratic congresswoman maxine waters bizarre behavior from her i've got to say she called for confrontation on the street more confrontation if showing were to be acquitted now the judge rightly said that his comments would jeopardizing the process and if you were a juror and you heard of the congresswoman you know trying to influence decisions like that you would be i think concerned and possibly influence i think that could be grounds for appeal if that's what some people are saying. not a legal expert i don't know i tend to doubt it i mean the jurors were sequestered and therefore they were presumably outside no didn't hear about what she had to say and trials don't take place in a vacuum trials are a political process so so of course there's there's noise off stage any judge is aware of that any judge has to take measures to make sure that the juries are not influenced. what do you think the endgame is for the black lies matta movement that made numerous demands that included defending the place also including compensation for descendants of slavery is t

but let's not forget it takes 2 to tango maxine waters is inciting violence in minneapolis just as she has the site today in the past as speaker pelosi doesn't act against the strangest toric i will bring action this week liberals and conservatives 2 sides that will seemingly do anything to get a leg up on the other it should come as no surprise then that even the legal system is becoming a victim of the 2 party system is political games we're going to get a world where you look at something like the case of george floyd. and the 2 parties see completely opposite they live in completely different realities so how does that how did people come together i don't think they do i think the. best it's good to get ever closer to. this simply choosing to not associate with one another we're never going to change the other mind can remember what happened with the outcome of the trial it's going to play in the visions you tween that you sides in this country. and italian businessman and you're with sputnik v. has a lot the e.u. quote discrimination russia's shot is likely to be shot out of bruss

unfortunately this case is politicized by the president, maxine waters. so i would submit to you that nothing will please them at all. because there's politics in place here. the judge tried to make it clear that we're a nation of laws and the court of public opinion should be kept separate. but there's a political impact of this case. i'm hoping for a second degree murder -- let me rephrase. if there's a second degree murder charge or conviction, hopefully there should be peace, justification. there should be that the system worked. it's not a racist system. but i don't know. because again, there's people unfortunately that profit from chaos. >> neil: all right that second degree murder charge is based on the idea that chauvin did this, right? he committed an assault which caused unintentionally or not floyd's death? that is a big one that could land in him in jail the rest of his life, up to 40 years. how likely is that? >> very unlikely. the court will take a considerate -- that's the maximum. the second degree is 40 years. the third degree is 25 years

you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. >> martha: so geraldo, in her own defense, maxine waters said i don't believe in violence. that's not what i was saying. she said i want to be aunty maxine. i want to inspire these people to activism. that's what show says she's out there doing when she says these things. >> if i can start answering tomi's point about compliance. i agree. people should listen to cops when cops give them an order. at what point does that compliance take a back seat to a man putting his knee on a handcuffed man's prostate body for 9 1/2 minutes? it's so outrageous it would spill the passion of everyone. i urge calm also. joe biden, who i believe is a decent man and a pretty good president so far should address maxine water and the nation at large and say listen, we believe in the justice system. we believe that we need police to save -- to keep civilization from anarchy. what she said is unhelpful. please, cool down. let the system do what it has to do. then we understand that there are issues in our society that needed a dressing. for goodness sakes, if you

matthew whitaker, it's great to have you on, what did you think of maxine waters taking a victory lapemocrats blocked the center of waters telling protesters get confrontational, show we mean business, this is not a guilty fit under verdict, everyone should be okay with this? >> no we should not be okay. we do not need a grandstanding politician that go around stoking the mob and threatening our judicial system, this is one of the things that is really challenging in this time, we have people like maxine waters and others on the left that are essentially inciting violence, 1 remember when i was at the department of justice in 2018 and she called for confrontation and people in trump's cabinet, it wasn't helpful then and it is not helpful now. she needs to tone down her rhetoric and we need more statesmen and states women that are bringing america together in solving the intractable problems that we face and not taking victory laps because they are partisan in their party protects them from being held accountable. liz: critics are saying a mannes of accountability, hours after of crowd

with democratic congresswoman maxine waters even calling on us to get more confrontational a move thejudges warned could lead to the. congresswoman waters was talking specifically about this trial and about the un acceptability of anything less than a murder conviction i wish i liked that officials would stop talking about this case especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch in our function crowds gathered outside the court to demand justice for floyd while those protested on nearby streets chanting and singing but alleged violence like those from congresswoman maxine waters have been resonating around the u.s. the deaths of floyd and other black men such as don't a right have stood hatred sparking confrontation leaving the legal system working to judge such cases under tremendous pressure as ati's donald quarter reports. it's almost like something out of a bad hollywood movie remember derek show the ex cop whose actions led to the death of george floyd well someone threw a severed pig's head at his defense witnesses former hall and the

with president trump said is team to what maxine waters is done with previous conversations were she said, go get into people's face and really having dinner somewhere. might be a member of the trump cabinet whatever. these are people trying to promotee anarchy. >> the golden state, tom good morning. >> hello. i do question regarding immigrant labor force created here is the question. givengr that california district like 1621, the california 22 california 23 are so dependent, i was wondering if by agribusiness and big gag stays out of the argument and what they want. every time this issue comes up, egg, is nervous and in june of 2019, the white house dispatch secretary purdue, two california 16 reassured that ice is not going after farm workers according to what the sun newspaper said predict it seemed that they would not stand on the fence and taken issue. lamalfa: thank you for that tom. it sounds like you're probably the central valley their work egg labors are desperately needed. and cemetery pretty was trying to keep the solutions following. lashley member of the group called t
