so the prosecutor is arguing that governor abbott circumvented the process for pardons and exceeded his authority and violated the separation of powers doctrine. is that the best argument? it s an argument to make, but i don t think it s going to persuade the texas court of criminal appeals. again, the question isn t really so much about whether the governor is following the law. i think there s reason to question his judgment. this defendant seems an extremely unlikely candidate for mercy. the jury deliberated for hours. they found that when he shot this protester five times that that was murder, and in the days before he killed the victim, mr. perry made it clear that he wanted to go after protesters. after george floyd was killed he sent a text saying he wanted to shoot looters. in another text he said he was hoping to catch a negro, and
If it ll make them think twice about going out? some people are still undecided, but the weather is something that may factor into the turnout, we have to see who it benefits and who it doesn t benefit in the end. bud benefits and who it doesn t benefit in the end. , , benefits and who it doesn t benefit intheend. , , , , in the end. and briefly, presumably all attention in the end. and briefly, presumably all attention on in the end. and briefly, presumably all attention on who in the end. and briefly, presumably all attention on who comes - in the end. and briefly, presumably| all attention on who comes second? if nikki haley was to do it, that potentially is a knockout blow for desantis? ., ., desantis? right now ron desantis is ullin: at desantis? right now ron desantis is pulling at around desantis? right now ron desantis is pulling at around 1896 desantis? right now ron desantis is pulling at around 1896 - desantis? right now ron desantis is pulling at around 1896
So how is the u.s. going to respond? a lot to get to on this very busy day. we start in iowa where the first votes in what will almost certainly be one of the wildest election seasons in modern history will be cast in just a few hours. but for the first time in a long time, the biggest question isn t who s going to win, but who is brave enough to show up? right now temperatures across the state are well below zero. windchills hovering around minus 30. possibly dropping to 45 below. the candidates imploring their supporters to come out anyway. i get it. i know it s going to be cold. think about this. you get to set the direction for the country. obviously the weather is frigid. yet we ve got large numbers of people coming out. they re very excited. we ve worked hard for many months here to sign people up
To be able to show up in life as our best selves (in all the things we do), requires more than just surviving day to day. It requires shifting from merely surviving to thriving.
So david wise happy to be here. who conducted investigation says everything is above board no politics involved. do you buy that? well, the question isn t necessarily whether politics is involved the big question is whether or not the investigation was tainted be it by politics or cowardess or whatever it is you name it and key in helping determine what is what wise is saying is totally inking the with what he told a room full of federal agents irs and fbi, as well as prosecutors. he said according to the testimony or the statement of shapely after he was denied authority bring charges by the district of columbia u.s. attorney s office he asked for special down counsel status from department of justice and was denied. now, he was either lying to them or he s lying to us. if you read his last letter that
this is not just happening in asheville north carolina. parents are fighting back at schools throughout the nation. we reached out to a number some wrote back the school district in maine, they have this book with no comment and the asheville board of education said parents have a right to inspect all instructional and supplementary materials as part of any applicable fundamentally funded programs and waldorf school in rhode island said the book in question isn t(s) a supplementary resource that isn t used in the classroom. is it safe to say parents cannot let their guard down for one second when it comes to what is being taught in their kids schools? no you cannot let your guard down for one second. there are sexually evil and corrupt and deviant perverted people who believe that this is okay. this is how it works. they bring the pornography into the school system. they bring in these gender theory and queer theory books and parents don t know it s there. it remains there and when
Scheme to overturn the 2020 election results, the question isn t if they will pursue dooimtss, it is how many. cnn has learn ed that fullton county investigators are still daebting the scope of that criminal case and how many indictments to seek. the foreperson for the special grand in the probe confirmed to cnn they recommended multiple indictments and she teased about where trump fits into all this. we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. i will say that you wouldn t there are no major plot twuss waiting for you. let s discuss all of this with former prosecutors. thank you for joining us. it s been about two months since
Together, one of the things that you see across the distance, frankly, is the conversation surrounding how this is been described and talked about. and you ve had many who look at this and say, okay, there s a different conversation happening now that involves black officers and white officers. there is an element of racism that is missing from the talking points you are talking and describing. but i wonder, from your perspective, and as well versed as you are and so steeped into the psychology of race and its impact, what does it mean to have had five black officers in the position of power as officers, to victimize a black man, does that mean race is not a factor? it doesn t mean that race was not a factor. and the reason being is that we determine whether race is a factor less based on the perpetrator, and more based on the victim. so, the question isn t whether
Perpetrator, and more based on the victim. so, the question isn t whether the officers were white or not black. the question is, would those black officers have brutalized and ultimately killed someone who was white? and i think many people believe that if tyre was white, then he would be living right now. and just the idea, we talked about a lot in the past, conversations where the race of a victim, the race of a defendent in actions very very instructive, for a lack of a better term for jurors, the way people view different instances. but the idea that it is of the same race, is really a discussion about power. and when people talk about racism, they talk about race and the impact of bigotry, it comes down fundamentally, to be reductive, to the abuse of power. and when children, my children have asked the question to me of why did this happen, why did they do x, y, z, often my
The votes when congress resumed its duties after the attack. all six, are members of, or are associated with, the fear in congress. the most ultraconservative group in the house. gates and his allies have tried to explain their actions this week as, democracy and action, arguing that they were giving voice to their constituents back home, but their actions this week were in fact a deliberate act to interfere with a regular functioning government, and to grab more power for themselves. keep in mind, if this had been the convening of congress after a presidential election, congress would not have been able to certify the votes for president because members hadn t been sworn in, because there is no speaker just for the man, there was no congress until 2:00 this morning. that s something to keep in mind, as the 2024 election cycle gets underway. now, that the 118th congress is officially in session, the question isn t just how republicans will govern, but do they want to? i m gonna put tha
