good evening and welcome t ayman tonight. manhattan d.a. alvin bragg sue plus taking apart trump frivolous lawsuit against th former employee. that and reproductive rights i the hands of the conservativ supreme court once again, an the outrageous anti abortion law just signed by ron desanti in florida also, the tennessee three back in action, state representativ justin pearson will discuss hi return to the state legislatur and gloria johnson will spea out on the she that threatened there political futures, gun control. i m ayman mohyeldin. let s get started. here s one thing that learning about manhattan district attorney alvin bragg he is a fighter. this week, in an extraordinary and aggressive move, bragg sue congressman jim jordan, asking a court to block parts of th republican-led house judiciary committee s inquiry into his investigation. the 50-page suit accuses jim jordan of a quote unprecedente brazen and unconstitutiona attack slams his request as lacking the, quo
committee called the weaponization of governmen actually weaponizing government he s weaponizing congressional oversight, trying to get in th way of a local law enforcement issue. and i think i don t think alvin bragg ha much of a choice here. this is jim jordan with political stunt coming right a him and so he s pushing back because he has to preserve his own authority and legitimacy and i think in general we look at the democrats the last fe months as we ve had over from congress they have really not rolle over for these bogus hearing and investigations whether i is the deep state, conspirin with twitter to just elect donald trump - all these things that they hav come up with - it s been one bust after another, when pr disaster afte another. and that is right. the gop, whether it s on gun safety, or human rights or donald trump, keeps sticking
or down house of representatives, as we see thi unfold in the course of this it is amazing to me and, i m just from acros political standpoint - why would republicans continue to want to litigate donald trump and highlighted it is an amazing political. think they did not learn their lesson in 2020 they didn t learn their lesson in 2022. but they can t seem to let g of him they can t seem to let him go. yeah, i can t seem to let him go and we are going to talk about that later on in the show. and david corn, i started this problem by saying the one thin we are learning about alvi bragg that he s a fighter. he s not backing down from wha we are seeing these republican tactics. and i m wondering, is there big takeaway lesson here for the democrats? should they taken out from bragg s playbook fighting fire with fire? should they be more aggressive in the face of this republican interference well, what we see here is jim jordan, who chairs the
the city that matthew just mentioned, it s called mansfield, ohio. it is in jordan s own district it has a higher crime rate tha new york city. i mean, i think we ll hear that s fact made again and again and again, as well a what you talked about with columbus and ohio, and maybe w will get back to the ohio stat wrestling controversies. i mean, the setup here is so obvious. it is such a stunt, they r leaving themselves wide open o issues like gun, law and order going back to january 6th an not being in favor of the cops even wanting to let the januar six criminals off as donal trump has called for and so, i mean, i think this i mainly being done for fox. this is a fox news programming decision, on the part of jim jordan we re gonna put on a show. it s not a hearing it s a show, we have soundbite for fox, it will be red meat for the fox audience i m sure oan and newsmax wil cover that as well
and, matthew, let me ge your thoughts on this hous judiciary field hearing, thi judiciary committee fiel hearing scheduled for monday and the irony of the fact that congressman jordan, you know wanting to call out lacks lack crime policies and he is the one literall running interference for a election with criminal and donald trump yes, another example, like, okay, let s abandon federalism okay done, check, let s abandon that law in order - okay, check, we re going t abandon that in the course of. this and i think to your point leading into this, the facts h said of this not only columbus has thre times the crime rate that ne york city does, the actual hometown in where jim jordan s from has a higher crime rate his small town has higher crime rate than new yor city and of course, it s eight of the top ten crime rate state in america are red states, eight of the top ten are red states and the other thing is, if you
