and what about the james meredith? so this was another one in which meredith's faced tremendous obstacles. and everyone knew that would be the case in fact, when james meredith wrote a letter to acp legal defense fund saying that he wanted to challenge segregation at. ole miss. thurgood and everyone else said he has to be crazy because white supremacy was such a factor in every sector of in mississippi that it was clear someone might get killed might be murdered in the course of this case. and in fact there were, individuals who lost their lives as result of the desegregation of ole miss. and yes, motley was with him all along she had to incur him to go on when the state mississippi argued that he was unstable mentally unstable because what kind of black person would want to challenge the state that really what the what was embedded behind that claim what they were using his records from the armed forces to to to make that claim they argued that she had he unlawfully voted which was not true but at the full weight of t

and what about the james meredith? so this was another one in which meredith's faced tremendous obstacles. and everyone knew that would be the case in fact, when james meredith wrote a letter to acp legal defense fund saying that he wanted to challenge segregation at. ole miss. thurgood and everyone else said he has to be crazy because white supremacy was such a factor in every sector of in mississippi that it was clear someone might get killed might be murdered in the course of this case. and in fact there were, individuals who lost their lives as result of the desegregation of ole miss. and yes, motley was with him all along she had to incur him to go on when the state mississippi argued that he was unstable mentally unstable because what kind of black person would want to challenge the state that really what the what was embedded behind that claim what they were using his records from the armed forces to to to make that claim they argued that she had he unlawfully voted which was not true but at the full weight of t

and i do want to start with you, meredith. the allegations had been floating around for quite some time. what did this report now reveal that was an already known? i think the biggest thing is the depth of the understanding of the abuse and b negligence that allowed it to go on for as long as it happened. another big major component of this that was unknown previously was the entire situation that happened at racing, louisville f. c with head coach, christie holly. we knew previously that he was terminated rather abruptly, and that it was connected to allegations of misconduct. but the story with his player and you know, for anyone who read the investigation, the opening anecdote regarding an incident that happened one on one with a player during a film room viewing. none of that was known prior to this report. so all of that was rather staggering, and i think more than anything the depth of knowledge of all of this was alarming for everyone. molly, the fall out has been huge head start rolling as soon as the report came out,

how can it be tackled though, meredith, where to start? this is a web of abuse, condemnation complicity and fear. where do you start to overhaul that and rebuild the structure? basically from scratch the day, the biggest issue that was laid out pretty well in an e 60 report that aired the night after on sal yates's report was released. i was, you know, the fundamental issues at the core of this that allowed such misconduct, deliberate. and that's the fact that there's insecurity within the women's professional soccer at large. and there has been since its founding before the national women soccer league on came to be in 2013. there were 2 previous leagues, both of which folded after 3 years. and so by the time you get to the n w, a cell players who are there are just feeling grateful to have a position to play professional soccer. and so they tolerated behavior and on facilities and compensation that was just sub standard. as a result, no one wanted to be the whistleblower who brought the entire league down and so they put up with things t

and nevertheless, molly went down to mississippi, she represented james meredith. it was a terribly difficult case for also it's of reasons. first of all, the fear and anxiety that was provoked by being a black person, coming down from new york, you know, the antithesis in many ways of mississippi. it was considered daring to come to a courtroom, a federal court room, and stand up. motley stood nearly six feet tall. and claimed that a black man should be able to enter the university of mississippi. and she did that and she did it despite hostility from her co- counsel who refused to recognize her. he would call her "that woman," and motley said to the judge, who himself was a segregationist but on the spectrum that even he knew that was wrong. so, he admonished the opposing counsel when motley said, he should call me by my name, mrs. motley. "the woman from new york" is what he ended up calling her. another point i want to make about the ways in which this was a difficult case, meger evers would pick motley up from the airport and he would take her to the courthous

. >> the student you were talking about was of course, james meredith.edith was not the first black person to go to ole miss. >> right. >> he was the first out-black person to go to ole miss. there was a black person during world war ii who was in the navy who wasn't passing, by the way, he was just light-skinned and nobody asked him what he was and he was just living life. >> we call that passing in mississippi, okay? i feel you, but we call that passing, but i got you, go ahead. >> well, passing is a very interesting term. it's a very interesting term. >> go ahead. >> but it wasn't like he said he was white, he just didn't say anything and people took him to be white. anyway, james meredith, however, is out, i am a negro, he said that in his application, he wasn't beating around the push. i would say to students, and this-- really, if the student starts with-- was tearing up and was saying, i'm discombobulated by this, i might very well -- i could have easily imagined myself saying, well, i want to talk about everything. >> yeah. >> and i think that ev

points about her achievement and addition to litigating cases like board of education, the james meredith case, the case segregated university of georgia university of alabama. molly was a a past maker and politics, first female president as well as first black female state senator in new york and cap stoned her career becoming the first black female federal judge appointed in 1966. as you can imagine she's inspired a generation of lawyers including women of color, the first black woman b appointed to faculty and harvard law school, kamala harris and ketanji brown jackson when she was introduced to the nation, she had this breaking lawyer as a role model so she'sy a person who should e well known by all of us as i said, she laid the groundwork for modern american society changing the landscape. >> she rose up to be an incredible leader during the civil rights movement in the 60s but was brought before, she had an entirely different life trajectory. it cannot be underestimated the poverty she was born into in 1917, the mississippi sharecroppers in her life defined by lack of access to heal

james meredith, however, i am a negro, he said that in his application. wasn't beating around the bush. i would say to students, this. if a student was tearing up and saying i am discombobulated by this. i can imagine myself saying i want to talk about everything and i think everything should be taught on the question of how you feel however, i want to talk, i'm not going to defer to your tears and i'm not going to defer to your saying you are traumatized, and where would we be if james meredith and john lewis and all of the greats of that era, where would they be if they acted the way you are acting? i think they did. if you think james meredith and john lewis did not cry over the way they were treated, if you think they did not feel humiliated this is science fiction. i love science fiction but do you think they were humiliated, they felt layers of terror? of course they did. >> i have an older brother. i have an older brother around those folks age. going to overwhelmingly white institutions. my sense is those pioneers faced what they faced with a diff

meredith. james meredith, by the way, was not the first black person to go to ole miss. right. he was the first out black person to go to ole miss. right he was a black person during world war two, was in the navy who wasn't passing, by the way he was just light skinned and nobody asked him what he was he just he was just living life we call that passing in mississippi. okay. i'll fill you in the week. boarding pass but i got you go ahead say you say. well passing the very age was the it's a very interesting topic. yeah it wasn't like he said he was white. he just did the same thing. i think it took him to be anything. james meredith, however, and straight out i am a --. he said that in his application he wasn't beating around the bush. i would say to students and i this i'm really if a student start you know was you know was was tearing up and was saying i'm discombobulated this i might very well i could have easily imagined myself saying, well, i want to talk about everything. yeah, i think everything should be talked about. on the question of how you feel, however the i'm, y

and let's go down to meredith with the very latest. sources today on this. >> well you know that the justice department is concerned that the former president has in additional material with them, and he suggested as much, and the recent filings, and there are concerns that he has more documents than those that have been handed over so far. and among the things that have been speculated as whether or not he might have documents that any of his other properties, places like -- throughout the summer in new jersey, where he does work a couple days a week during the summer, and he's held in office for good. >> is there anything specific meredith that you are hearing? any detail on what the doj rabbit thinks trump me thinks he still be holding onto, it's there something missing that the only place that this could be was in his possession? >> i don't know about, that but i do think that, among the documents that a lot of people raised questions about, or all of those empty folders that were found at mar-a-lago in the state is classified but

she represented james meredith. it was a terribly difficult case for all sorts of reasons. first of all, the fear and the anxiety that was provoked by being a black person. coming down from new york, the antithesis in many ways of mississippi. it was considered when daring to come into a courtroom, a federa court room and stand up as an motleyto 6 feet tall and claimed that a black man should be allowed to enter old miss the university ofte mississippi. and that she did that. she did that despite hostility from her cocounsel who refused to recognize her. he would call her that woman and motley and challenged. she said to the judge, who himself was a segregation list, but the spectrum of segregation even he know that was wrong. so he admonished the opposing counsel that went motley saide e should call me by my name, mrs. motley, to at least call her -- make the woman from new york is what he ended up calling her. and another point i want to make about the ways in which this was a difficult case, evers who was the main naacp operative in mississippi would pick motley up from

well james meredith is here with us now. james, wow. what a story you have to tell.or you to be there on that field accepting that jersey. being recognized for all that you have accomplishment, stepping foot on that campus years ago when you were the first black student to enroll at ole miss. what was that like? bring us back then, 60 years ago and then to now being honored. >> it was extremely significant in 1962. but the problems, the black-white race thing today is far more serious and in need of fixing than it was then. >> well tell us more about what made you want to enroll at a time when it was all white. you knew you would be the first black student. why did you decide to be that person? >> because i am a united states citizen and a citizen of mississippi and every citizen should endure every citizenship should rate. i believe that then and i believe it now. >> you were honored on this same football field where students were waving confederate flags at a similar matchoff between kentucky and ole miss. that was two days before you arrived on campus back in 1962

joining us now, national political correspondent for "politico," meredith mcgraw. example of the big lie being on the ballot this year. johnson, doing business with a firm that attempted to overturn the election results last year. should we be bracing ourselves for significant election challenges and possible refusal to accept the results, not just in wisconsin, but from gop candidates across the state? across the nation? >> senator ron johnson hasn't said whether or not he would accept the results of the election should they be certified and his hiring of jim troopis, one of the lawyers that the trump campaign hired in its failed attempts to hold a recount in the state of wisconsin, and he's allegedly tied to the trump campaign's fake elector scheme shows that the johnson campaign still, a, has ties to this attorney, but, b, considers this race much closer in the state of wisconsin. if the results are within a certain margin of error, the second place candidate is able to request a recount, and i will say that mandela barnes, the democratic opponent for senator ro

neil: mark meredith.ter, very insightful on all of this, the latest talk is the house looks doable for republicans, maybe vera -- do you agree with that? >> i don't have a firm opinion, don't think anyone smart has a firm opinion. there are do many unknowables. the overturning of roe versus wade is a backstop to potential big democrat losses but when you get to three states that matter, georgia, pennsylvania and nevada. you talk to people in both parties no one is confident they will win so i am confident the number will be 50 one, 52 a but don't know if it will be 51, 52 republicans or democrats. everyone should have humility heading into this election because there is still as we learned with the scandal recently in the revelations there is a lot left to play and it is hardly october. neil: that is for a senate seat and republicans want to gain that in democratic hands and all these revelations, herschel walker, which he denied some years back and trouble with his son and the nastiness there but republi

thank you very much, mark meredith. all right.t happened to the abortion issue and fallout from passions around the roe v wade decision. patrice is with us, the director, and crystal knight, the democratic strategist extraordinaire. crystal, i begin with what some hoped in the democratic party would be an issue with some amount of wind at their back, that is on bringing about the base, post roe v wade, and the supreme court. seemed to work awhile, might still work right now, but these other issues have become predominant for democrats. does that worry you? >> well, it doesn't worry me. i know once roe v wade, the decision was announced, folks would get roused up, the base would be energized around this particular issue, but it would be not easy to expect that issue would take us all the way through november, when crime is still high, inflation is high, and people are having a hard time economically in this country. so there are other issues that are important. i think we're seeing abortion take a place in the state of georgia in t

mark meredith in michigan. the fact of the matter is, crime is running rampant in this country and this isn't a fox fixation, the numbers underlie what i say because across the board they're increasing, pretty much across the country. there's a reason for that, but the biggest of all tends to be the fact that so many bad guys get out so fast, after this. we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. they have no idea they're sitting on a goldmine. well they don't realize that if you have a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. we've got to tell them! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke,
