he offered a bedroom in his house for willie mays family, which they turned down and they eventually found a house, but if you do the math, that house was listed in 1957 for $37 thousand. that is how much a house cost then. that house today on zil low between 2.7 and $3.12 million. that is how much the house is worth. had that family been able to purchase that house they would have paid it off in around 1978 if they got a 30 year mortgage, which means that for 6 decades that family would have either had no mortgage or been accruing rental income from that house. you do the math of what that opportunity denied by the structural racism in our city in our city, not going back to anywhere farther then 1957 then you can see how we can arrive to a number like what was in the report, which was only one of the many many recommendations, but for whatever reason the one people fixated on. for that, i wholeheartedly support this resolution and thank the efforts and it is only the first step towards a very long road of apologies and reparations which we as a city owe our black community. thank y

maybe he turned a corner despite what he is saying publicly. >> what he may be saying to fani willis may be different than what he is saying to the atlanta journal-constitution, right? >> they will be. >> melissa, the new revelation about rudy giuliani and cassidy hutchinson's forthcoming book is the latest in a series of problems facing giuliani. he was once trump splurge, and played a very prominent role trying to overturn the election. there is another big problem for giuliani. his own attorney is suing him to recover, i believe, one point $3 million of unpaid legal fees. our problems like giuliani something that a prosecutor, as smart, as savvy as fani willis is, could exploit, or pay attention to? wouldn't potentially make him a target for cooperation, given that he is so vulnerable and exposed right now? he is so >> it would depend onr or not he will be useful to the prosecutor, whether or not he would be a credible witness. given his past statements and actions, he might not be that valuable. certainly, if he has to make some personal decisions as to how far he wants to ride this

frankly, i think fani willis may have her cake and eat it too to some degree. and assertive to all the defendants. but i think practically 19 defendants is just a monster that is not feasible. i think she gets to maintain the posture of strength that she's had thus far and may get the benefit of having this case broken down in a way that's going to be digestible and actually able to efficiently and persuasively prosecute. >> well, i mean, ray smith, though, is kind of arguing that. he is another defendant here. he's pleaded not guilty. and he is asking the judge to divide them into manageable groups for trial. i mean, is that -- how would you decide who goes in which group? >> it's a great question. and with 19 defendants it's incredibly complicated to figure that out. one thing that's really important to understand, the speedy trial, right, is owned by the defendant. it is not owned by the prosecution. so, if there are defendants, as we have here, chesebro and powell, who want to go early, they get to go early. but it doesn't work in converse. it doesn't say,

fani willis may have to recalibrate her strategy around who she wants to try and.imately break down in a space where she is going to be trying these clusters in group together. there may not be a number of clusters, i did not think that she was going to be able to pull off 19 defendants at one time. i think that is just a master case. trying regrow cases like fani willis and her office has, it is still a herculean task. it is not going to surprise me to see her break up the defendants. it was also not surprising to see additional defendants requests severance. before the court can granted, it has to be requested by the defendants themselves. >> former trump chief of staff, mark meadows, abandon his request to immediately pause georgia's constitution after judge mcafee ruled he would not have to face trial in october. what do you make of mark meadows involving legal strategies in georgia? >> he has try different things. he has trying to get the case moved to federal court. that has not been successful. he has tried to slow down the process. even try to avoid having

frankly, i think fani willis may have her cake and eat it too to some degree. she had a past it's been -- practically, 19 defendants is just a monster that is not feasible. i think she gets to maintain the posture, frankly have strength if she's had this far, and might get the benefits of breaking on this case in a world that is digestible and able to efficiently and persuasively prosecute. >> raisman is arguing that. he's another defendant here who has pleaded not guilty, and he is asking the judge to divide them into manageable groups for trial. how would you decide who goes and what group? >> it's a great question, and when 19 defendants, it's incredibly complicated figure that out. and think it's very important to understand, this speedy trial is owned by the defendant, it's not owned by the prosecution. if there are defendants, as we have here, kenneth chesebro and sidney powell, they get to go early by georgia law. the prosecutor cannot say, not all of you have to go early. so, there is no practical way to force donald trump to go to trial two months from

willis should call his bluff." you write, if this was the request of the first of jordan's misfires, he may be entitled to more benefit for the office he holds. willis should call jordan's bluff is and remind me of the words that, the federal government, anxious as it may be, to vindicate and protect federal rights and interests, always endeavors to do so in ways that will not unduly interfere with the legitimate activities of the states, end quote." if it comes to litigation, the courts will see through jordan's efforts for the distracting and partisan political theatrics they are. the states and federal government powers are well-defined in all but the most extreme circumstances. this is not one. josh, let me start by asking you whether d.a. fani willis has any obligation to respond to these requests from jim jordan, from the oversight committee. does she have any obligation to turn over documents as she tries to do her job in atlanta? >> well, at the moment, she's actually just received a letter from jim jordan, so at the moment, she hasn't received a subpoena. she wouldn't be under any legal obligation to turn it

so maybe he's turned a corner despite what he's saying publicly >> what he's saying to fani willis' office may be different than what he's saying. the new revelations is obviously the latest in a series of problems facing giuliani he was once trump's lawyer and then played a very prom independent role in trying to overturn the election, and there is another big problem for giuliani that his own attorney is suing him to recover i believe about $1.3 million in unpaid legal fees. are problems like giuliani's something that a prosecutor as smart, as savvy as fani willis' could exploit or certainly pay attention to would it potentially make him a target for cooperation given he's so vulnerable and poeks ezed right now >> it would depend whether or not he's useful to the prosecutor, whether or not he'd be a credible witness. given his past statements and actions, he might not be that valuable certainly if he has to make some personal decisions how far he has to ride this train, he may very well approach the prosecutor to ask if there's something they can work out, if he has something of value she ne

feeling that willis may not get her big show trial with 19 defendants. >> joyce, can i still on this of scheduling and timing, can we broaden it up a little bit? i keep getting asked by people whether we're gonna be in the situation donald trump is convicted, sentenced, behind bars by the time it comes to next year's election. is it? we now have the data from judge chutkan in d.c.. marshall for it. can you run through quickly the prospect of where we could be in november in these cases because even if that case were to go ahead there would be slippage possible still on the march 4th day but clarify that for me. then you have the sentencing stage, then the appeal stage, so what are they realistic possibilities for trump come. and his legal status come november 2024 in the election day? >> this is a really great question because there is always inherent delays in the criminal justice system. for instance, if trump were to posture. some sort of an issue, or he got an adverse ruling from judge chutkan, and he were able to take an appeal to the court of appeals. that could really impact t

been particularly bad because it was so hot, so early the bleaching period has been extend may need carl's willis died off by the time water temperatures dropped. again. the stories are one of the most vital enviro diversity systems that we have on this planet. they cover less than one percent of the entire ocean floor. yes, a support of over 25 percent of all marine species. so whether or not you live on the coast call rece, the fact you frozen cells are responsible for one and 10 breath that we take the animal that the photo synthesizes and, and produce oxygen for us. so they are just as important for us as trees. and so the loss of this ecosystem is going to have profound effects. so protecting what we have is fairly vitals because there's not a lot of the the water temperature is $690.00 degrees fahrenheit. and it helps to think of as tough to us here with the problem with this isn't if you kind of think about the humans when we get a fever of a lot, people are like, oh, you know, it's just a couple of degrees. how can that be so dangerous for the corals? but the thing about it is if you thin

fani willis these threats may just be an opening salvo. joining us now is the former mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottoms. she of course recently served in the biden administration as a senior director at the white house office of public engagement. thank you so much for being here. i'm eager to first hear your thoughts about what's going on, the targeting of the d.a., and the language that is being -- the vitreal, the hate being thrown her way. what was your reaction to this? >> it hurts to hear. i know fani very well. we started off together practicing law as very young attorneys. i've known her for many years. i was at her wedding. i've known her children. so this is very personal. so it's deeply disturbing that this independently elected district attorney is being subjected to this by someone in washington, d.c., this whole investigation, and she's absolutely right. these threats against her should concern us all because what we see happening here, alex, we see this erosion of our democracy. what we are witnessing -- we witness peopl

they may fill in the missing piece that is would allow fani willis to decide that some of these shouldindicted. >> and i'm reading, the majority of them agree that perjury may have been committed by a number of witnesses before they recommend that the district attorney seek appropriate indictments for the crimes where the elements are compelling. i don't recall seeing any charges for perjury. do you think that's outstanding. >> robert -- >> say it again, clark, for us. >> there is a percentage charge again an attorney robert shilley. >> thank you for pointing that out. >> it says one or more witnesses. when we saw the initial version of this grand jury report that was redacted to high heaven as katie mentioned earlier, one of the things people like us were looking for was would they give more detail about who potentially had perjured themselves, this does not. whether or not the special purpose grand jury was thinking about others who may have perjured themselves and whether or not the district attorney and her team used that as leverage to cut some of the cooperation deals we believe

go back to your point about it being a folk sense, there are people on this list that fani willis and her team may have determined we're just not not only not worth indicting but people whom they could not indict. mike flynn comes to mind, for me. we know that on december 18th, 2020, mike flynn and sidney powell and patrick byrne and others gathered in the oval office and talked about the seizure of voting machines and tried to persuade the president to enact an executive order that would allow just that. whether that has a nexus to the state of georgia to justify prosecution, is a completely different matter. so he may have joined a conspiracy to overturn the election. did he join a conspiracy to overlook overturn the election in georgia itself, it would've been something that would give fani willis pause. >> she's got a lot of -- with the 19. who's already what she's undertaking is the most huge, probably the most ambitious state criminal case ever brought. >> maybe, maybe not. >> i mean, in terms of the broader social historical ramifications. not in legal terms. i'm sure there are more complex

you have to pass on willie mays, people didn't see him at his best.on in the history of baseball, and if people have the ability today, go look at the master class he gave in defense during the 1970 world series against -- johnny bench said he hit 14 hardballs at that series and brooks robinson caught them all. his glove is where singles and doubles went to die. >> unbelievable, and what a line that mike said this morning, in a column he read, in the post, that in new york they named candy bars after reggie jackson, in baltimore they named their children after brooks robinson. >> wow, mike lupica and mike barnicle, thank you both very much for helping us remember him today. >>> and coming up, senator bob menendez is receiving support from within the chamber as he faces federal bribery charges, but not from all of his fellow democrats. what senate republicans are saying in his defense, while more than half of his democratic colleagues have now urged him to resign.

feeling most of what we see in there, we have already seen in district attorney fani willis's speaking indictment. there may be a couple of surprises as ken mentioned, maybe some names of people that we didn't see show up in the indictment. but i think it's going to be a largely duplicative of what we already learned from the indictment. >> glenn, another top lawmaker, congressman adam schiff is making the case that the 14th amendment should disqualify trump from holding office. let's listen to what he told my colleague, jen psaki. >> the 14th amendment, section 3 is clear, if you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government or give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running. it doesn't require you be convicted of insurrection, it requires that you have engaged in these acts. it's a disqualification from holding office again, and it fits donald trump to a t. >> is there a case to be made here? >> there certainly is, and these are cases that are going to end up in court. you know, legal scholars left and right are lining up behind the position, the interpretation

the judge may come in and conceive of this case as the way d.a. willis does, which is one enterprise. it is a beast of a case, but a judge may think this is doable. a judge that comes in that's incredibly skeptical of this case, he may start chopping this case up bit by bit, and you may see multiple trials happening and d.a. willis having to put up her case multiple times, which becomes a little precarious. >> anthony, let's talk about the political strategy. we see these two before the judge today, something that caught my eye is essentially arguing it would be more advantageous to do the opposite. this is quoing a lawyer, quote, strategically speaking if you are one of the lesser important players you would definitely want to be in the same trial as donald trump. all the focus is going to be on him. they don't want the little guys, he says. they want trump. you're always compared to who you're next to. do you think that's true? >> i think there is some truth to it. i think however this trial plays out, there's going to be a lot of finger pointing towar

convincing, that the law does not apply to former federal officials, district attorney willis says only current federal officers may remove state actions to federal court. the law and question grants at the right to move cases from state to federal court to, quote, any officer of the united states. district attorney willis's brief points out that another section of the same law specifies that that section applies to anyone, quote, who is or at the time of the alleged action accrued was a civil officer of the united states. district attorney willis's point there is that federal law does know how to specify that it applies to former government officials. and district attorney willis cites a finding and another case saying that where congress includes particular language in one section of a statute but omits it in another section of the same act, it is a generally presumed that congress backs intentionally and purposely in the disparate inclusion or exclusion, where congress knows how to say something but uses not to, it's silence is controlling. district attorney willis's brief says that the reason for the federal la

willie brown. how do you overcome these challenges? >> raj, i may go to every corner of this city. i'm going to talk to voters. i'm going to address their concerns. first things first. we need to make people feel safe again. we have a public safety crisis on our hands. we need to fully staff the police department. we need to stop with the excuses and the finger-pointing. we need to work together to get big things done. you asked earlier about the supervisors. day one, i'm going to sit down with every single supervisor, whether they supported me or not. you have to find ways to bridge divides on behalf of everyday san franciscans. and all we get right now are excuses and finger-pointing, and san franciscans are tired. they want change, and they want leadership from the outside. >> daniel, we have mayor breed on the show fairly regularly. she tells me similar things that you're telling me. she wants to increase the police department, clean up the streets, get the drug dealers off. it's very similar, your message is, to the mayor, is that right? >> the message and talk is one thing. a

depending on the weather, that may not happen for several more days. david willisnother series of major wildfires around the world. researchers say forest fires are becoming more widespread, and more intense. here's our science editor, rebecca morelle. at times this summer, it has felt like the world is on fire. flames racing across swathes of land, destroying homes and lives. the images are unforgettable. but how bad has this wildfire season been? looking at the total area affected by fire so far, this has not been an unusual year, although we are only part way through it. but there are some exceptions. in europe, greece has seen some extreme fires, one the largest ever recorded in europe. but in countries like portugal and romania, the area burned has been below average. over in canada, huge fires have been raging for months, their worst wildfire season on record. but in the us, it has been quiet. in california, a wet winter and cool spring has lowered the fire risk. in hawaii, though, the fire was small but its impact was enormous. the death toll is still rising

depending on the weather, that may not happen for several more days. david willislet's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. several weather warnings have been issued across spain as heavy rain causes major flooding across parts of the country. maximum red weather alerts have been in place in the madrid, toledo and cadiz regions. residents in madrid have been asked to stay at home due to "the exceptional and abnormal" rainfall. australia says it will send additional police to the solomon islands to boost security for the pacific games in november, keeping them there untiljune to assist with a general election. the australian police contingent arrived in december 2021 to quell anti—government riots, while chinese police trainers arrived this year to prepare for the games. china has donated and constructed stadiums and other venues for the games. the boss of one of the world's largest supermarket chains, tesco, has called for laws to be toughened to protect shop workers from increasing attacks. mark ashdown reports. why are you touching me? what are you

yesterday the governor argued that calling for a special session to remove willis from her position is not feasible and, quote, may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional. >> up to this point i have not seen any evidence that d.a. willis' actions or lack thereof warrant action from the prosecuting attorney oversight commission. the bottom line is that in the state of georgia as long as i'm governor we're going to follow the law and the constitution regardless of who it helps or harms politically. in georgia we'll not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the motions of the moment. we will do what is right. we'll uphold our oaths as public servants, and it's my belief our state will be better for it. >> one of trump's codefendants in the georgia case might have confessed to the crimes he's accused of and did so during an interview on fox news. former trump lawyer john eastman appears to admit to attempting to stop the certification of the 2020 election during an exchange with fox host laura ingram wednesday night. take a listen. >> on january 6th what did you want to happen? and how was that historic

willis's request to advise defendants who asked for a speedy trial that they may lose some rights such as notice of timely discovery. can you walk us through what that means? what do you make of her request and the judges response? >> right, so, fani willis wanted the judge to advise these defendants of kind of what they lose out on or potentially lose out on if they do demand a speedy trial. it seemed like she just wanted to basically make sure that if there's any future potential grounds for appeal on the basis of these folks, not being aware of kind of some of the consequences of requesting a speedy trial, so how it impacts, for example, discovery deadlines or when you can get evidence, or the deadlines for being able to submit evidence. she wanted the judge to make sure that they are aware of that. the judge said, no, not at this time. i am going to go ahead and proceed with my standard case scheduling management plan. because some of these deadlines that you have pointed to kind of conflict the way i typically would run my cases. he said, however, if this becomes an issue, as we g

what said on the panel on conservative tv is much different that one's attorneys may be saying in the courtroom. d.a. willisis gonna mostly be responding to what trump's attorneys are saying in the filings. and what my hearings may come up in the case. >> this is why we have the professionals to tell us about a. pm itches -- thank you very much. we appreciate your time. up next, more republican seem to be the party of pyrotechnics over policy. and i mean you could say i'm being dramatic but how could you explain vivek ramaswamy colin ayanna pressley a quote, modern grand was out of the kkk. how he responded when al sharpton pressed about that comment is next. but first richard lui, our bestie is here with today's other top news stories. richard, what's going on out there? >> simone, good sunday for. you deadly chaos at the burning man festival. one death being investigated. the annual music and arts festival in the nevada desert. the persons identity has not been released yet. the estimated 70,000 attendees were asked to shelter and conserve food and water amid heavy rain and flooding there. a convicted mur

willis. is it safe to assume that they may be cooperating witnesses at this point? anything. because you just don't know. there are a number of reasons why somebody could be left out of an indictment. one of which is that they just don't fit within the r.i.c.o. scheme. based on what we know outside, i don't think that is the case for these two. they would seem to be people, based on what we know, would fit within the r.i.c.o. scheme. but obviously we don't know everything. certainly not as much as the d.a.'s office knows, and certainly not as much as their attorneys. now if i were to place a bet, i would bet that they are cooperating with the state. but you just don't know for sure in this case, until we get towards trial. and we see them on a witness list. you see them on a witness list, it's pretty clear they are cooperating. -- >> we will be trained on that. i believe that that would not be buying a pick and poke, to get cleta mitchell and boris epshteyn to be cooperating witnesses. but i'm from washington d.c., not ohio or atlanta. the special purpose grand jury

16 electors in georgia were given target letters and they were targets of fani willis' investigation and it was back in maynd out from the court filing that they accepted an immunity deal from the attorney general's office. and we know that some of the fake electors were unnamed co-conspirators and we know that david schaffer, and senator shawn steel were fake electors charged in this, and some of them were listed as unindicted co-conpeers or the and the bottom line, we are trying to get comment from the fulton county district attorney's office, but they are tight lipped as they have been throughout the entire process. >> sara? >> and now, joining me is adam smith who is ranking member of the armed services committee. thank you, mr. smith for being with us here, and i wanted to toss something out at you that we just got to us, the grand jury report just released to us. it is about 26 pages long, and the panel recommended charges against a sitting u.s. senator and two former senators. i wanted to get your take on that, and obviously, the senator is gop senator lindsey graham of south carolina. and i wanted

one of which may be, they're not sure fani willis is ready to go to trial on october 23rd, the date set for at least one of them. what's your sense of it? >> yeah, just to expand on what joyce said, these defendants could always pull back those motions for a speedy trial. once they get this discovery. two terabytes. there's a lot of discovery that fani willis and her office has been compiling for more than two years. in my sense of this, all these motions, is basically these several defendants who are asking for a speedy trial, a push for it, fani willis might have called their bluff by saying, we're ready to go. generally speaking, she has been open to a very aggressive trial calendar. donald trump and several of his top allies want to slow things down. they want to sever their case. and they, of course, don't want -- we haven't seen the motion from donald trump quite yet, five others have tried to remove this case to federal court, which they think could give them a bigger jury pool. also would probably mean no televised proceedings. >> joyce, let's talk about mark meadows again for a

fani willis herself is going to be up in may. so it would be really interest figure she lost. candidate that runs against her in the primary. i think the argument they are going to make is why is she spending all this money and resources going after what looks like a federal case, but also the trump case opposed to dealing with crimes that affect us today today in atlanta. that may catch hold. it's caught hold in other counties. i had a different boss because of two high profile cases that went that the general public didn't agree with. i think that would be very interesting if you have a d.a. losing that race to somebody who says that they are not going to deal with high-profile trials. you could see that dismissed mudway through. that could happen. >> that's so interesting. and we actually need to keep that in mind. david, you say it all the time. w wul willfani willis is a d.a. she's elected. >> this is a big deal that the judge has granted severance because for the trump legal team, it means they are going to get to soo a lot of what the prosecution strategy is. they alrea

trum had multiple investigations an concluded there was no evidenc of fraud but fani willis has a witnes in lin wood who may claim, i know these things happened, or i think these things happen. and she believes it's valuable to have them on the ready if h chooses to have him testify, something he said is valuabl to her case. >> carol, that was a perfect answer and i would like to note that, when i have all male guests, n one ever says, joe next me can answer that question bette than i can but i'm going to turn to joyce to also in because, here's the thing, joyce. lin wood made a point to say he did not flip on trump yet, he is a states witness. what does that mean? >> well, i think carol naile it there was something in his testimony that is valuable for district attorney willis and i am intrigued by hi statement that he did not flip on the former president. there are a lot of other defendants in this case. as a lawyer, he worked wit many of them so, it's possible that his testimony applies more directl to some of trump's codefendants but, lin wood looks to me like a hostile witness, unless he i putting on a

essentially what he's saying, he admit ted that these were political acts, which may come back to haunt him. fani willis is arguing that that type of behavior is actually barred under the hatch act, and therefore, this political behavior could not have been in his official capacity. that's the standard. whether or not the actions he took were in furtherance of his official capacity as chief of staff. >> this decision with regard to mark meadows means more than just the future of mark meadows' case. the way it's been seen, you have 19 codefendants in georgia, including donald trump, and this decision if you move it into federal court could impact all of them. does that fact weigh on the judge in making this call? >> absolutely. it's still an open question if it he win this is case, whether all 19 will be kicked into federal court. we have seen other defendants move to sever their cases. some defendants invoking their speedy trial rights. they are set to go to trial at the state level. so there's a lot of open questions in the air. i don't know we will see this getting to trial any time soon. >> let's get

willis. among the 21 individual, some names you may recognize. people like michael flynn who was of course trump's national security adviser. former georgia republican senators, david perdue and kelly loeffler. they were both in office at the time of the 2020 election. most notably senator lindsey graham, the current senator, republican senator, south carolina. here is his reaction to that report yesterday. reaction t>> what i did was cont with my job as being united states senator, chairman of the judiciary committee. we were open up pandora's box and i think the system of this country is getting off the rails, we have to be careful not to use the legal system as a political tool. >> again, senator graham and these other individuals were not charged by fani willis in the racketeering conspiracy indictment handed down last month. but clearly the panel believe there was sufficient evidence to include them in the recommendation. here to break down that whirlwind week of developments, david henderson, a silva rights attorney. he's also an msnbc cont
