A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world.
i ve made it clear there s no circumstances under which i would testify against the president. and you know, jim, just because he s not contacted by the special counsel doesn t mean that he s not in any kind of trouble. usually the other case. that could indicate there s trouble for you. the other thing is that we have been led to believe that special counsel welcoming at some of stone s personal finances. he s had close ties to paul manafort, they were in business at one point together and could be another avenue that the special counsel could be pursuing. certainly sounds like they re pl laying the ground work. the date of mueller s team to subpoena the wikileaks intermediary to appear is on september 7th. what s that tell ugh about the timeline of the probe and whether he s close to finishing? right. that s randy credico. also known roger stone for quite sometime. so that really tells us that this is going
we have been covering the story on the state of missouri where the state government is trying aggressively to shut down the last abortion provider in the state and make missouri the first state in america that does not have any legal abortion providers. first time that happened since roe vs. wade in 1973. tomorrow there will be a court hearing in state court in missouri about whether or not that last clinic can stay open. the doctors at the clinic are fighting tooth and nail to stay open as the state government shuts them down. the judge is due to weigh in and we will be watching it closely. that does it and we will see you again tomorrow. it s time for lawrence o donnell. i was so, so happy for you at 5:27 p.m. today when the transcripts came into our hands

Specifically black families and the point that black families being together is a great thing for the black community. and you do have to acknowledge the empirical fact that before lyndon johnson s policies and the welfare state that was created in the united state. i m not talking about good, bad, or indifferent about black families were hold on. black marriage rates were significantly higher. well, what if america, that s a good thing that may have contributed to the maybe the decline in marriage rates, which by the way, is not unique to black families. that s happening actually across racial groups. but what about other things? i mean, what about redlining? do you think that that had an effect on the black family? what about mass incarceration? what about the war on drugs, which was pushed by a republican president, who s adviser said it was specifically to target black people. what about all of those things? look, if you want to talk about red lining and a lot of the other polici
Significant impacts. excuse me, make significant investments in infrastructure, inside our communities. we know red lining, zoning, all these things that have pushed us in the sacrifice zone and then with the elevated temperatures with the burning of fossil fuels, that s a part of the driving of the climate crisis that it will put us in the cross hairs. whether we are talking about floods or hurricanes or a number of other things that are a part of the climate crisis. we understand where it comes from and two that we have to be able to make sure those are once again getting hit first and worse to have the resources, the infrastructure and the focus and attention from folks to make sure that we are protected as much as possible. so we could actually make the change that s necessary. there are projects out there across the country, when real infrastructure, when real investments will happen, we will see how people were protected and not just protected, but moving from thriving to survivi

So within days, and their strategy seems to be, well, if you re going to take away programs that benefit minorities, then we need to offset it by rectifying this other problem that is causing a suppression of minority students by favoring wealthy students who disproportionately are white students. just to use an analogy, ana, i would liken it to red lining programs that banks use. i remember bringing a case against banks when i was serving as u.s. attorney and what they said was, we don t intend to discriminate against anybody. what we do is we deny mortgage applications from certain zip codes because our data shows people in those zip codes tend to be poor risks with finances. but the problem is, those neighborhoods were minority neighborhoods and so it had a disparate impact on the people living in those neighborhoods, whether they individually were or were not a good credit risk. so that program was a violation of the civil rights act of 1964. i think in a similar vein, this
States, but because abortion bans target red states those are states where a lot of red lining happens where people don t have access to the votes in ways that other people do. so, you know, they may want to vote for a pro-abortion candidate but they don t have access to that. they can t. so i think it s more that, you know, i think there s a an idea that we are maybe more conservative or lean into the catholic ideals. but the reality is, just as rachel said, what we are living day-to-day is different from what we want politicians to do and how we want them to vote. i think that s why it s so important we need to keep politics off our bodies. hello, red state, mississippi. okay. i think she s right. i think we a big part of the problem is that number one we re not voting. you know, the a big portion that should be voting is not
Documents. you can sort of do it with your mind and hope that the colleges figure it out.gu i mean that s clearly to the extent there s an escape hatch here, i guess that s it. but, again, i just think to melissa s point, the utter cynicism of saying, you know, that this is what, you know, the reconstruction amendments that the radical abolitionists who wrote those amendments were trying to do, the congress that passed clearly race conscious remedial efforts and the entire history, justice jackson s minority dissenting opinion here is a master class on the history of racism, red lining, the g.i. bill, getting loans, share cropping. it s all in there, and the idea that all of that just goes away, poof, because if you somehow hint in yourus essay that that part of your t story, it can be considered so profoundly
System, but at the same time, it addresses, again, a lot of imperfections in america s past and present. right. affirmative action is or was the system that we were allowed to use to try to address some of the inequities of the past. a frank and honest attempt at remediation was never allowed. you had 350 years of slavery, jim crow segregation, discrimination, red lining, wage theft, you name it, and then you had the great civil rights legislation of the 1960s. you had, beginning in the nixon administration, a very limited sort of affirmative action like
