and by the, way walter scott from -- who was a constituent of mine, his brother is going to be my guest. if we stop talking about the name and stuff, let's just come forward with a plan that will deal with that. senator scott from north carolina will be very important to us, and i know that he knows the family of walter scott, and he knows how important this is to his constituents. i think that he is going to work very closely with senator cory booker to get something done in the senate, and make progress on this issue. public safety and accountability. >> walter scott, for our listeners, was shot in the back in charleston by a police officer. you are right, he was close with the family, is close with the family, it has worked with cory booker in the past. they haven't always been on the same page, but i hope that he will continue to make efforts to find some common ground. trying to deal with both public safety and accountability. before we wrap up, the new york times is reporting republican congressman george santos is being accused of sexual harassment by perspective aids. the rankin

murdaugh at one point even quoting the poet walter scott on direct examination. oh, what a tangled web we weave he told his attorney. his attorneys walking the defendants through a kashl recounting of that horrific day, his whereabouts, he showered, he said he ate in front of the television and murdaugh testified through tears that when he came become to his property, he did touch the bodies of his wife and son. he testifies he found themdead. let's go straight to diane gallagher live for us in south carolina. diane torks you first. the defense is trying, number unone, to make him sympathetic and trying to present an alternative theory of the cay us saying his son paul was repeatedly receiving threats. >> that's right. that's something that alex murdaugh told investigators multiple times, including on the initial 911 call. the first responder on the scene actually testified that it was the first thing that alex murdaugh said to him when he arrived there on june 7th, 2021. but look, we are watching the defense try and take the state's case point by point with alex

>> my guess will be walter scott's brother, i knew both his parents. they have passed away. he had a brother who i will bring up, as well. i think walter scott, all of us remember, was shot in the back in charleston by a police officer. i think that the president should address those in attendance, including the parents of others. and the siblings of others, who have suffered at the hands of unaccountable police action. on warranted police action! i think he should address it. yes. >> one more question before i let you go. the republican response is going to be given by the newly elected governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee sanders. the press secretary of the trump administration. it is always such a thankless task. what do you think her response will be? what can she possibly say? >> well, i have no idea what the response will be. i am hopeful that she will be both truthful and more forthcoming than a lot of her responses were when she was press secretary to the ex president. >> while hope springs eternal on that one, from my perspective. [laughs] congressman, james clyburn

we saw the video of my brother and so many more, sterling, walter scott in south carolina, and georgeyd, and we have yet to see any change in this country. we have yet to see congress a. i just think that it is unhealthy and that communities of color across this country are dealing with vicarious trauma and we need more than just videos being released, but i am thankful for the fact that these videos put a spotlight on the crime, the criminality, and the murder of black and brown people across this country. but at the same time, it is unhealthy and it tears the scab off unhealed wounds. amna: the attorney working with tyre nichols' family said he was even glad to see such a swift response in terms of the accountability portion of arresting and charging the officers. when you look at that, what do you see? why do you think things have ved swiftly in this case when they haven't in the past and what is justice if there is such a thing look like for terry nichols' family? >> let's be honest, justice would be tyre nichols being alive. the only justice is for people we pay to protect and se

sort of particular focus looking at why do people who stop people for traffic stops -- i think of walter scott to the autozone in north charleston south carolina, where he is stopped for a broken brake light and as he ran across the street, the police officer's later shot him -- officer slater shot him in the back. what this would look like, police abolition, and you support something like this? >> when i think a police abolition, i think about the abolitionist we saw in the 19th century, harriet tubman, frederick douglass, and their work, our destiny as a people to be free. that is part of the same tradition i think, the same work that the systems we are facing today are continuations of the systems the abolitionist in the 19th century worked against. yes, i support that. i think that has to be the ultimate goal. in terms of how quickly that happens, that is something that is likely to be governmental, just like all big dreams. they don't happen overnight. but something like traffic stops. i want to say it is a conundrum because often times when you look at the past reforms like body cameras

>> the church couldn't hold all the people who turned out today for the funeral of walter scott.ekend running from his car by the white police officer who's pulled him over in south carolina. >> no justice, no peace. >> america has never admitted or come to grips with how racism is sewn into the fabric of the country. it's a ghost of our past that we have not dealt with. >> freddie! freddie! freddie! >> this morning, another case of the possible use of excessive force by police against a black suspect. >> that suspect, freddie gray, would end up with a severed spine. he would later die. >> you know, this phenomenon that we were living in a post-racial society -- where did all that stupid rhetoric come from? who hoisted that up on the body politics? and who accepts that nonsense? you know, how do you erase history? >> white supremacy is in the dna of the american people. and the myth of a post-racial america because of the election of a black man to the white house let us unfortunately put our guard down . >> june 17th, 2015, dylann roof enters the sanctuary of the emanuel ame chu

we saw tyre nichols, before tyre nichols, there was walter scott in south carolina.here have been many. if they give up, even in the face of the impossibility, they are saying to americans, saying to black aricans, we don't care. and from all the meetings i've been to today, from listening to the president of the united states, there is no doubt in my mind that theyare and that they want to do something. it is just too bad that folks on the others of the aisle can't meet them even halfway. geoff: to your point, on this issue, it is republicans who hold all the cards. understanding the point you make about the imperative to not ge up as democrats see it, the democrats risk falsely inflating people's hopes, people who care about the issue that something can get done, when it looks like nothing can get done. jonathan: youan blame them, if democrats in their message don't say we are on board, but republicans aren't. you have to talk about the issue and then the impediment to the solution. the impediment to the solution are the republicans. so keep hammering away at the t

of the cook political report with amy walter is in south carolina and was at both nikki haley and tim scott'sis week. always good to see you. let's start with the messages we heard from tim scott and nikki haley, talking about a new generation of leadership, generational change, drawing lines that say they are different from former presint trump but not anti-trump, what is the lane they are trying to occupy? amy: that's a good point. if you look at the republican electorate right now, maybe 35% are locked in with donald trump and are not interested in voting for any other candidate. probably 10% are considered anti-trump voters, they will never vote for him. that leaves a wide swath of republican voters who are not anti-trump but open to an alternative and that is a lane that these candidates want to try to fit into. one model of that lane is the ron desantis model that says i'm going to be a lot like donald trump. you like donald trump for a reason, because he goes after the establishment, the elites, mainstream media, i will be just like that. and h's doing pretty well in the polls right no

of the cook political report with amy walter is in south carolina and was at both nikki haley and tim scott's speeches. always good to see you. let's start with the messages from timm scott and nikki haley, talking about a new generation of leadership, generational change, drawing lines that say they're different from former president trump but not really anti-trump. what's the lane they're trying to operate in? >> that's a very good point. if you look at the republican electorate right now, about 30%, maybe 35% are locked in with donald trump. they're not interested in voting for any other candidate than donald trump. probably 10% or so are considered anti-trump voters. they don't want, and will never vote for donald trump in a primary. that leaves a pretty wide swa of republican voters who aren't anti-trump and are open to an alternative. that's the lane that all the candidates want to try to fit into. now one model of that lane is theron desantis model which says i'm going to be a lot like donald trump you liked donald trump for a reason. because he goes after the establishment. the elites

walters conjured up. no matter who the republican is, trump, desantis, mike pompeo, tim scott, all will be painted as horrible people by this dumpster fire of a show that has become unwatchable, todd. >> todd: will they have age problems, this is rhetorical question, when joe biden is put up for election in 2024, at 82 years of age and when a potential second term would end at 86 years of age? it is insane this line of attack, i'm shocked by the v vitriol coming from all sides, did you expect this? >> joe: i think it is the mitt romney rule, the john mccain rule, they were nice who tried to play nice with the media and romney was called a racist, a geko who like to put his dog up on the roof during family vacation and john mccain was a cantankerous young man and also racist. once you announce you are running for president, and are a republican, you will get this treatment that overall, there is r next to your name and that makes you bad person. >> ashley: unfortunate they keep coming after her like that on that topic. cnn catching heat after claiming ron desantis is not a true conservative and that nikki hale
