. >> i want to read you something that congressman mo brooks of alabama, republican, has said, and i brooks ever since he told the angry mob outside of the capitol to go kick some ass that day, but i think that i'm going to break my rule, because it's relevant, and i think that a lot of people might share his sentiment about what this act -- what the supreme court just decided. so, he says the concept that blacks can only be elected in black districts and whites should have districts of their own in which they get elected, i believe that is racist and i oppose it. what's your response to his logic? >> well, the way they draw these lines, we call they can packing or cracking, right? where it has partisan advantage. really, it's the problem. it's not that you're trying to make sure that it's a majority black. most of the congressional black caucus members that are in the congress aren't even in majority black districts. so, it's not that. it's making sure that you draw lines that are fair, that you don't put people in these squiggly lines all over the place to make sure you only have r

so telling the lie in isolation is not necessarily criminal but when donald trump and mo brooks and rudyastman and don junior told the big lie on january 6th that your vote has been stolen, you need to go down there, kick you know what and take names, fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore, go down there and stop the certification of the election, that big lie was a crime because it was inciting the insurrection and here is the thing, joy, unless and until the department of justice brings charges against somebody other than the foot soldiers who donald trump set on the capitol to stop the certification, we're going to have the little liars running around the country telling the big lie and they're going to do it with immunity. the minute charges come to the command structure of the insurrection, i predict all of the little liars will shut their mouths because now they'll see there are consequences to continuing to tell the big lie and that's what we're still all waiting for some accountability. >> yeah, indeed. let's go through subpoenas that. this is one. this is for trump'

mo brooks, 97%.he objectors are primarily reliant on individual donors, this is has got to hurt. 130 companies that pledged to stop contributing to lawmakers who challenged the electoral vote on january 6th between 80% to 89% held the line through the first two quarters of 2021. but new data says it began to wobble. compliance is now at 60% even though we're not at the midterms yet. while this means 52 corporations have ended their moratorium, perhaps, more notably, is 78% on board. among those withholding pepsi, pnc, target, mcdonald, coc coca-cola, disney, ebay, among those no longer complies, abbott labs, aflac, boeing, comcast, duke energy. eli lilly, wells fargo, pfizer, north drup grumman. some companies chose to stop contributions to either party, joining a list of several hundred abstaining such as ibm, levi strauss and cnn's owners discovery. the pledge came about by the conferences moderated by the next guest. professor and associate dean at the yale school of management. he's been running

wanted to stay in the news, show he still had sway over the party, whether it was sean parnell or mo brookse bet on the super bowl last night. can't say if it's me or not. you go all in on one or two bets and put a lot of money down or you spread it out. if you spread it out, you don't want to do too much on too many bets. the more you bet, the more you could lose. that's what i'm looking at. >> eugene, if the republicans are to take back control of either chamber of congress, donald trump will say it's because of him. how much of it will be because of him? what role is he really going to play if republicans are successful in the next go-round. ? >> it depends on the racists. mcconnell assad he and we also know that donald trump doesn't because in the past when he's made indorsments, not everyone has won and been successful. so it will be interesting to see what voters do and why they do it. but that won't be clear immediately the next morning, even if trump says it is. >> is the fact that you basically need a trump endorsement or may seem like you need a trump endorsement to win a republic

there's a number of things that we had, like the podcast where mo brooks talked about wearing a bulletproof vest on january 6th. we were the first ones who posted the navarro clip about the green bay sweep. with had a number of obscure things like that. chris miller, talking about in a podcast why there was a delay sending national guard in. that was the most comprehensive interview that's ever been done of chris miller and very few people have ever seen it. things like that. >> ron, the thing is about this alleged conspiracy, right, is that it dudid not take place in smoke-filled room. it's been described in public. you talk about navarro, to get legislatures in several states, frankly, denied the outcome of the election and turn it. it's in public. why no charges? why doesn't the system seem to be policing this? >> well, what i can tell you is for several months after january 6th, most of these people kept their heads down and mouths shut and i think a lot of them were concerned they were going to be charged or arrested during the spring of 2021. when that didn't happen is when they becam

he needs mo brooks. >> someone who has worked harder than anyone else in congress. >> a proven conservativeon integrity. >> there's liz cheney trashing trump again. why didn't she say that when she was running before just like katie brit? she might not say it but she's a lobbyist. >> it's been interesting. nancy pelosi used to be name that republicans would use to sometimes attack other republicans if they were there. now it's liz cheney. just moments ago, trump endorsed another primary challenger taking on a house member who impreached him. he backed russell frey against south carolina congressman tom rice. >>> up next, new developments on the crisis in ukraine. as russian president vladimir putin says his security demands were, quote, ignored by the west. but he still has not responded yet in writing with a retort. stay with us. stay with us ♪ got my heart ♪ ♪ got my soul ♪ ♪ got my mouth ♪ ♪ i got life ♪ woman: i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. with skyrizi, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months after just two doses. skyrizi may increase

in alabama he's frustrated with mo brooks is doing in that race.licans are at the moment. they're looking at the biden administration, at the economy, all these other things where the party is moving and donald trump is a step behind. >> the other choice is, okay, he's not going to win, i'm going to turn my back and get distance. >> perdue is not doing great but i haven't done a roally there yet. how enthusiastic will trump about if the numbers keep going for perdue. if he looks like a sure loser, you have to wonder if trump will stay away. >> michael, i appreciate the reporting. >>> this presidents' day weekend cnn premiering a brand-new series focused on lyndon johnson. he passed the civil rights act and voting rights act. his decision to escalate the war in vietnam overshadowed his legacy. see how the presidency was as complicated as the times he served. sunday night at 9:00 p.m. only here on cnn. thanks for your time today on "inside politics." download "inside politics" wherever you get your podcast. ana cabrera picks up our coverage right now

others like congressman mo brooks and those peddling these false claims and scheming up different legalnd prevent the certification of the election results. while this information is important to the committee, what is unclear is how much it will provide them in terms of peacing this puzzle together. first of all, we know the trump add mgs was a bit lackluster when it came to recordkeeping on a number of fronts. we have reported about that as it relates to the call logs on january 6th. there's also so much information the visitor logs can tell you. it's who gets cleared into the building on any given day. it doesn't say what offices they go to after their first initial meeting. it lacks a lot of details information about who comes in and out of the white house residence. we have seen the committee is casting a wide net. they are talking to a lot of people. they deposed a number of people. they are conducting a lot of interviews. this may not present everything they are looking for but hoping it's another piece of information that will allow them to paint the picture of what happened on

that's essential to keep in mind when you listen to arguments like this from alabama congressman mo brooksaid these liberal activist jung jud tried to segregate us based on race. brooks, a charter member of the sedition caucus, running for senate, has been bellowing about a war on whites for years. take with a grain of salt. there have been some victories for more balanced congressional maps in recent days, in ohio, north carolina, and those should be celebrated as evidence that reform can work. but the frustration that republicans are feeling now in new york is the same that democrats are feeling in texas and alabama, and to fix the system we need to be driven by principle, more than partisan self-interest. because what we have more competitive and truly representative districts, the only guarantee way is democracy itself. and that's your reality check. >> good when democracy wins. >> we like that. >> john avlon, thank you very much. >>> the houston texans -- the houston texans pick a new head coach. hear what former miami dolphins coach brian flores, who is also up for the job, has to sa

mo brooks is running for senate. he's running statewide. here's what he says. activist judges have tried to segregate us based on race. iabominable. we have to put the skin pigmentation issue behind us. i guess that's easy to say for an older white guy. >> that's what they're not doing. the reality is also, as ariane pointed out, two of the three judges were appointed by former president trump. and one appointed by bill clinton, i believe. we can spend all hour on mr. brooks' statement there. but i remember being with congressman john lewis in his office the moment the 2013 decision was being read and he worried aaloud. i was there and we didn't know what the opinion would be and he worried about this thing and the entire watering down and just throwing out of the voting rights act. so this is just one more example. but in terms of the timing, there are districts still being drawn in several other states. north carolina has not decided theirs. ohio. other states. so there's plenty of time. we're not exactly on the cusp of the election. so that argument i'm not

in fact, alabama congressman mismo -- mo brooks, republican, said the concept blacks can only be electedk districts and whites can have districts in which they get elected with racist. what do you think about that. >> hiit's a problem to think ths because of their race, because of how they will vote and because we want to deny them an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice and i would only say that this issue went before a three-judge panel that contested of two appointees from president trump, all three judge also on that panel decided, based on the record evidence, that the maps of alabama likely discriminate against black voters. so that is my retort to the idea that race is not a factor in the districts drawn by the state of alabama. >> reporter: janai nelson with the naacp legal defense fund. appreciate your perspectives and your time this evening. >> thank you, geoff. >> woodruff: congressman jamie raskin, a democrat from maryland, gained national attention in january 2021 when he was tapped to lead the second impeachment trial against then-president donald trump. re

katy brit running against mow brooks and her fourth quarter fund-raising almost quadrupled that of mo brooksall dollar donors that supported trump throughout his presidency. so that's definitely something to watch. the other thing to watch, especially in wyoming is that ms. cheney does not have just one challenger, she has five. so her chances of surviving that primary and keeping her job remain significantly higher if that stays that way now. so while i understand the former president and his allies are working on a bill in the wyoming legislature to ensure no cross voting in the primary i wonder if that's something they'll work out, talking to those other challengers trying to get them out of the race. because if they stay in, her chances of winning the primary are much higher. >> based on what they're saying with the efforts of mcconnells and others trying to get more republicans in the mix, does it make it more difficult for democrats in the midterms if they are up against more moderates? >> i don't think so. i think what democrats have to do is to remind their voters and remind republic

that is important is we heard some pretty vitriolic rhetoric from people like rudy giuliani and mo brookshe ellipse. and the judge says, no, it is distasteful, but it is still within the ambut of the first amendment, talking about their view of the election. so the impact of this is it goes on appeal, trump has a right to appeal the immunity ruling, but one suspects he will pretty quickly be in a situation where he's deposed in that case, where he may be required to turn over documents or answer interrogatories. he will not be cloaked in the office of the presidency. and this will be one of the early moments where he confronts the rule of law and loses. >> and real quickly, joyce, the significance of mazars, the financial firm saying, ten years of his statements, they're not reliable anymore, is that as damaging legally as it seems from this side of that wall, as a lay person? >> i think that there are layers of damage involved here, from the purely pragmatic, the organization has tax filings to make and they now don't have an accountant who knows their business, but the ultimate problem

she states, and i quote, dear congressman mo brooks, this is my explanation and statement regarding the impact of the vaccine that was being given as a result of extreme pressure but now is mandated by the armed forces. this has resulted in my partial paralysis that has confined me to a wheelchair. on march 22, 2021, i received my second shot of the covid-19 vaccine supplied by pfizer. shortly after i became sick for a few days as expected. a few weeks later i got sick again and was so ill i was out for two weeks. medical staff are unable to determine what i had caught. i developed ringing in my ears, which i still have. after i started to develop medical problems where muscles would inflame along with severe restless leg syndrome, which sent me screaming from pain in the dead of sleep. i went to physical therapists and navy doctors alike to no avail to stop t shortly proceeding my knees started to give out and i need and still need to pop them to determine state the pain -- terminate the pain. i experienced development of digestive problems and joints that would become so painful i wou

congressman mo brooks got this information and here he is. >> now more than 100,000 that are being transportedm, or fashion the total cost not just the flights but also the detention or the places where they live. the healthcare exceeds over $2 billion. there is no end to how much damage the biden administration seeks to do no end to how much money they are willing to spend, our money in order to pack america with millions of illegal aliens. >> brian: the other shot we showed you with guys in camouflage, maybe they didn't want to get caught. 70 migrants were caught there love to see those background checks. you think about all the money we are spending. what about the money that's going to ngos, congressman lance gooden weighed in out of texas. is he has been all over this. he actually believes the u.n. is henning supply and ferry these people forward. i would love to see an investigation into that he went on to tweet this out. the biden administration is working with nonprofits like catholic charities by the way. u.s. corporations and international agencies to operate an illegal immigration n
