Transcripts For MSNBC The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell 2

I just wasted an hour of my life. Oh no. Yeah. Watching this show? oh, no, no, no. That's what i should have done. I should have done that, because i thought it was my job to watch the trump socalled town hall moderated by sean hannity i could have told you. On another channel. So it's the town hall, you know, in harrisburg, pennsylvania, filled with people ready to ask their questions. Not a single audience question in the entire hour because because, you know, the trumpian, outofcontrol, rambling, incoherpt answers went on forever. Because he had to talk about lek etro cushions and hannibal lecter and sharks. Hannity's promising the audience that the audience questions are coming up, and they never do. Unbelievable. And any, any one of the audience questions would have been better than any of the hannity questions in the entire hour. And there might have been something to report about it if just one audience question got asked. Well, you know, next time lawrence, just stick with this channel at 9:00 p. M. You now have my full report on the last 60 minutes over there. I don't need to watch any of the internet highlights. You don't. No internet highlights, you've been saved that. And for that i thank you, sir. Thank you. The breaking campaign news is a major endorsement of kamala harris for president. This is an endorsement that could really change votes in kamala harris' favor because it comes from one of america's most prominent republican families. Former congresswoman liz cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney endorsed kamala harris for president today in comments she made in north carolina, where the liz cheney endorsement could make a difference in the outcome of the presidential election in that state where kamala harris and donald trump are running within one point of each other in most polls. Liz cheney has made it clear since january 6th that she could never vote for donald trump for president. But since donald trump secured the republican nomination, liz cheney has not said how she will vote in the presidential election until today. Because we are here in north carolina, i think it is it is crucially important for people to recognize not only is what i've just said about the danger or if you have kidney or liver problems, biktarvy can go with you. Talk to your healthcare provider today. For more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. farxiga farxiga farxiga farxiga ask your doctor about farxiga. Deodorant. . .

Qunol's extra strength, high absorption magnesium helps me get the full benefits of magnesium. Qunol, the brand i trust. I was stuck. Unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. I needed more from my antidepressant. Vraylar helped give it a lift. Adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. That trump poses something that and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. Report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. Antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. Report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be lifethreatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. High blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. Movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. Stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. Side effects may not appear for several weeks. I didn't have to change my treatment. I just gave it a lift. Ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. Craig here pays too much for verizon wireless. So he sublet half his real estate office. . . [ bird squawks loudly ] to a pet shop. Meg's moving company uses tmobile. So she scaled down her fleet to save money. And don's paying so much for at&t, he's been waiting to update his equipment! there's a smarter way to save. Comcast business mobile. You could save up to 70% on your wireless bill. So you don't have to compromise. Powering smarter savings. Powering possibilities. So before i so before i begin, i do want should prevent people from voting for him, but i don't to say a few words about this believe that we have the luxury tragic shooting that took place of writing in candidate's names, particularly in swing states. And as a conservative, as this morning in windor, georgia. Someone who believes in and we're still gathering information about what happened cares about the constitution, i but we know there were multiple have thought deeply about this, fatalities and injuries. And you know, our hearts are and because of the danger that with all the students, the donald trump poses not only am i teachers, and their families, of course, and we are grateful to not voting for donald trump, but the first responders and the law i will be voting for kamala enforcement that were on the scene. But this is just a senseless tragedy. On top of so many senseless harris in this election. Tragedies. And it's just outrageous that every day in our country in the united states of america that parents have to send their [ cheers and applause ] children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive. It's senseless. It is, we've got to stop it. Liz cheney served as the vice chair of the january 6th you know, it doesn't have to be congressional committee this way. Investigating donald trump's it doesn't have to be this way. Attempt to overthrow the 2020 so we will continue, of course, presidential election leading up to send our prayers and our to and on january 6th. President trump sat in the thoughts to the families and all dining room off the oval office those who were affected, including you know, i'm going watching the violent riot at the off script right now, but listen, i mean, you know, at the last year i started a college capitol on television. For hours he would not issue a tour, and i traveled our country public statement instructing his meeting with our young leaders, supporters to disperse and leave right? the capitol. And so those college aged young this was an utter moral failure leaders, i did trade schools, and a clear dereliction of duty. Universities, community colleges. I love gen z. I just love gen z, right? liz cheney's endorsement of kamala harris will be heard by but i'll tell you one of the things, one of the things that i asked every time i went to the republican voters. Cheney republican voters. Auditorium and it would be it could be a number of voters filled with these young leaders, that could tip a swing state or students and i'd ask them several swing states in kamala harris' favor in an election now where the candidates are separated by one or two points in the important electoral college swing states that will decide this election. The liz cheney endorsement seems possibly inevitable when we look at it today looking back in time, but it is not inevitable. Liz cheney has been very careful in this approach to the discussion of the trump candidacy, saying she is opposed to the trump candidacy but never going that step that next step to, okay, when you're filling out your ballot, what are you going to do? we now have that answer, and liz cheney's answer may become the answer for a crucial number of it does not have to be this way. Republicans out there who could end up deciding this election. Many issues that's at stake that endorsement of kamala harris by liz cheney came on the in this election. What's at stake in this same day that attorney general merrick garland announced a new indictment of russian citizens election is that one candidate, for trying to interfere with the kamala harris, wants to stop mass murder in this country and current 2024 presidential election again in support of the other candidate, donald donald trump. The indictment says rt, formerly trump, and every single known as russia today, is a candidate, republican candidate statecontrolled media outlet for the senate or the house of funded and directed by the representatives, every single government of russia. One of them, along with donald after russia invaded ukraine in february 2022, rt was trump, wants to guarantee that sanctioned, dropped by distributors, and ultimately forced to cease formal american mass murderers remain operations in the united states, the best equipped mass murderers canada, and the united kingdom in the world. And the european union. In response, rt created, in the that is their political mission. Words of its editor in chief, an today's accused mass murderer is entire empire of covert projects a 14yearold who went into his designed to shape public opinion school with an ar15 and in western audiences. The indictment says that rt and murdered two 14yearold students and two teachers. Its employees, quote, deployed nearly $10 million laundered donald trump said nothing about through a network of foreign the mass murder, but he did have shell entities to covertly fund his staff issue a short written and direct english language videos on multiple social media statement expressing some sympathy for the dead and not a channels, including tiktok, instagram, x, and youtube. According to the indictment, those videos are designed to single word of what to do to support the candidacy of donald stop these mass murderers in our trump. The first time donald trump ran schools, to stop these mass for the presidency, he openly murderers in shopping malls, to stop these mass murderers in and illegally asked for russia's churches, to stop these mass help. Russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the murderers in theaters. Not one word from donald trump or any republican today about how to stop what happened in 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be that georgia school today. Vice president harris went to rewarded mightily by our press. New hampshire today, which a russia did exactly what trump campaign operative recently said is unwinnable by donald trump requested that day. Donald trump. After make garland announced the that comment got that trump indictments for russian interference in this year's campaigner fired from the campaign. The vice president chose new hampshire as the place to election today, donald trump complained on social media that it was somehow unfair for the describe her new economic proposals, including a focus on justice department of the united the development of small business and restoring the states of america to criminally capital gains tax for incomes over $1 million to 2%, which was prosecute illegal russian interference in our elections. The top capital gains tax rate the russian government can during the booming economic successfully interfere in presidential elections thanks years of the clinton entirely to the utter absurdity administration. As president, one of my of the electoral college. It was impossible for the highest priorities will be to russian election interference strengthen america's small operation in 2016 to turn enough businesses and here i am in new votes in donald trump's favor so hampshire to announce a few that donald trump could actually elements of my plan to do that. Win the most votes. Donald trump lost the vote at the polls by 3 million votes, a margin that russian interference so first, we're going to help could not possibly close, but the electoral college can be won more small businesses and by tiny vote margins in a few innovators get off the ground. So here's the thing, on average states. Donald trump lost to joe biden it costs about $40,000 to start by 7 million votes nationally a new business in america. And he will surely lose to that is a great financial kamala harris by millions of barrier for a lot of folks, and votes nationally. And that is why russian it can hold entrepreneurs back. Interference is targeted at the and the current tax deduction key electoral college states for a startup is just $5,000. That decide the election. Okay? so then you got to make up the there is nothing the founders delta there. Feared more than foreign you got to figure out how you're going to do that. Interference in american not everyone has access to that elections. They would be horrified to know that nothing has made foreign kind of wealth and capital. So part of my plan is we will interference in our presidential expand the tax deduction for elections more effective than the electoral college, a true startups to $50,000. Curse on american democracy. Leading off our discussion tonight is andrew weissmann, it's essentially a tax cut for former fbi general counsel and former chief of the criminal division the eastern district of starting a small business. New york. Second, my plan will help she an msnbc legal analyst and coauthor of the bestselling existing small businesses grow. We will provide low and no book the trump indictments. Also with us, rick stang l, who interest loans to small served as undersecretary of businesses that want to expand. And we will and this is very state during the obama administration.

Important cut the red tape <\/a>here's an msnbc political analyst and the author of that can make starting and information wars: how we lost growing a small business <\/a>more the global battle against disinformation and what we can difficult than it needs to be. More difficult than it needs to do about it. Andrew weissmann,<\/a> i know you know, when i heard today justice <\/a>be. Third, my plan will invest in department, russian indictments, small businesses and innovators i really had to ask, a new one? it's happening again? throughout america. We're doing this again? and here's why. After what you went through in we know that towns exist everywhere in our country, from the mueller investigation <\/a>rural towns to city centers,<\/a> so investigating what happened when that's why i support a donald trump publicly asked russia to help, there seems to billionaire minimum tax and be an awful lot of familiar notes in what we're seeing in this indictment today.<\/a> Corporations paying their fair absolutely. Share. And no one should be surprised. This is something if you and while we ensure that the wealthy and big corporations pay remember when robert mueller <\/a>testified before congress and he their fair share, we will tax was asked about this, he said it is happening as we speak, and it capital gains at a rate that is going to continue. Kudos to the department of rewards investment <\/a>in america's innovators, founders, and small justice for taking affirmative businesses. So here's the detail, if you steps now. Earn $1 million a year or more, if you remember in 2016, there was sort of belated criticism the tax rate on your longterm that they didn't take action even though they saw during the capital gains will be 28% under election that this was what was going on because they didn't my plan because we know when the want to be viewed as politicizing the election and government <\/a>encourages investment, it leads to broad taking sides. But that came at the expense of based economic growth. And it creates jobs, which makes interference. Here in black and white <\/a>in the luminous papers <\/a>the department of justice has made public is our economy stronger. Now, compare that to what donald exactly the scheme, lawrence, that you laid out. Which is to get donald trump elected to have the republicans trump <\/a>plans small win. That is goal one. Goal two is to have the democrats lose to lose businesses. Confidence in their policies and and to cut corporate taxes by particularly, of course, about the war in ukraine. Over $1 trillion, even as they and so it's got poll numbers <\/a>and it targets specifically the pull in record profits.<\/a> His plans will add more than $5 battleground states.<\/a> Trillion to the national debt it targets specific interest groups <\/a>and voter blocks.<\/a> And that is on top of the $2 it identifies hispanics, trillion tax cut <\/a>he gave them american jews,<\/a> and obviously, when he was president and when anyone in a battleground state <\/a>as somebody that should be targeted to try and make sure he exploded the deficit. That they can win the war in we know how to count. We know how to count. Ukraine by getting donald trump and now he also wants to impose elected. What in effect is a national that is the explicit target. Final point really quickly is that one of the innovative sales tax <\/a>on everyday products things that the department of justice did is they took down and basic necessities, which will skyrocket the cost for domains. So they didn't just indict two families and small businesses. People and lay out the scheme to and new hampshire on top of all make it clear we know what of this, if donald trump were to they're doing, they also took win in november, he intends to down some of the instrumentalities that russia is end the affordable care act.<\/a> Which would significantly using to foment this illegal increase costs on small scheme. Businesses, as we know, and they closed down those websites they've been using. Well you know what, the courts there's a new statement by the are going to handle that, and we harris\/walz campaign by vice will handle november. President harris about liz cheney's endorsement today.<\/a> I want to read that in a moment because it does when you how about that? consider that liz cheney made her endorsement even before how about that? knowing about this justice how about that? but think about it. Department indictment, which is yet another demonstration of the he wants to end the affordable danger that donald trump poses care act. Taking us back to a time when in our politics and in government, the intersection of insurance companies could deny these two stories today,<\/a> i people with preexisting conditions.<\/a> Think, is quite powerful. You remember what that was? here is what the vice president is saying tonight in a statement children with asthma, breast about liz cheney's endorsement that says the vice president is cancer survivors, grandparents with diabetes, so yeah, look, we proud to have earned are here to tell him and them we congresswoman cheney's vote. She is a patriot who loves this country and puts our democracy and our constitution first. Are not going back. And she noted in her powerful remarks this election is a we're not going back. Choice between the fundamental we're not going back. Threat donald trump <\/a>poses to our we're not going back. Democracy and a leader who will in five minutes you just stand up for our freedoms and heard more policy detail <\/a>from kamala harris than anyone has the rule of law.<\/a> Ever heard from donald trump in in vice president harris. Vice president <\/a>harris will be president for all americans his entire political career. Regardless of political party, for any american who is looking yesterday the wall street <\/a>investment bank goldman sachs <\/a>to reject the chaos and division <\/a>issued a warning that has been of donald trump, turn the page echoed by every leading and pursue a new way forward economist that the american that protects our freedoms and economy could be severely defends the american values we all believe in, there is a place crippled by donald trump's tariff proposals, which kamala harris says would in effect be a for you in the harris\/walz sales tax <\/a>on americans, which coalition, and we will continue would cost the average family $4,000 a year. Working to earn your support. Donald trump continues to tell the lie that the tariffs he rick, as a former obama administration official,<\/a> your reaction to liz cheney's imposed on chinese goods were endorsement, the vice president's written acceptance <\/a>paid american consumers. Of it just now, and what it he told that lie again tonight means for this campaign. In his phony fox town hall.<\/a> With 62 days left in the i think it's an extraordinary campaign, is there enough time thing, as you said, lawrence. To teach undecided voters how she put country over party. Tariffs actually work and that she put the constitution above all. It's a message to conservatives they are paying those tariffs? we'll ask california and she described herself as a congresswoman katie porter when she joins us next. Us next. Conservative that she sees donald trump as such an existential threat to the country, to the constitution that she's going to vote for a democratic party candidate <\/a>for the first time. I think it's really extraordinary. I hope a lot of folks are listening. I hope conservatives who can't tolerate trump will use her as an example and vote <\/a>for kamala harris as well. Andrew weissmann,<\/a> as we go forward, one of the things the attorney general <\/a>said today, the investigation is ongoing. And because the effort is ongoing by the russians. Absolutely. So two things. One, just to relate these two stories, as you've been doing, one of the sad things when you look at the issue of russian interference in our elections or any foreign government or foreign persons interference <\/a>in our elections that should be an apolitical subject. That is something that democrats and republicans should both be getting behind. It shouldn't be, well, i'm for it as long as the foreign government is helping me. And so that is really sort of liz cheney's point that they are apolitical things that are fundamental to being an that's why you choose glucerna to help manage blood sugar response.<\/a> American. To the point of continuing an uniquely designed with carbsteady. Glucerna. Bring on the day. Growing old is part of the journey, even when you have heart failure.<\/a> But when he had shortness of breath, carpal tunnel syndrome,<\/a> and lower back pain,<\/a> we wondered, could these be warning signs <\/a>of something bigger? thank goodness we called his cardiologist because these were signs of attrcm, a rare and serious disease. . . . . . That gets worse over time. If you see any of the warning signs, don't wait, ask your cardiologist about attrcm today.<\/a> Is is investigation, one thing that is fascinating to me having poured over these documents is, well, two employees, relatively low level, were charged today, the indictment spells out in chapter and verse <\/a>two founders of the russian front company <\/a>and how complicit, illegally complicit, they are. My reading of this and it's sort of what i call educated speculation is those two founders, i suspect, are cooperating. It makes no sense for them to not be charged given the way this reads. So i strongly suspect that what we are seeing, as detailed as it is, is the tip of the iceberg. At the state department,<\/a> one of your jobs was battling this interference, which has become all the more sophisticated, apparently, over time. Yes, they evolved, the russians. They are learning. So in 2016, they created the internet research agency,<\/a> essentially a troll farms. Russians who didn't speak english imitating americans.<\/a> In 2020 they used the disinformation that was in our system to try to help trump get elected. And now they're doing this thing that modern media companies <\/a>are doing, they are hiring influencers who are often unwitting and they're hired by the russian government. They've created a kind of a covert influence campaign.<\/a> But i would make one point about having watched the russians do this for a long time. It's not that they're so sophisticated, it's that we're so credulous. Even when you look at what they wrote in their memos about the swing states, about hispanics, i mean, these are not sophisticated political analysts. These are people who are not very sophisticated. The point is is that we believe things because we want to believe them. And it's incumbent upon us to understand what they're doing and try to look through it. One of the domain names <\/a>they got was something called washingtonpost. Pm, pretending to be the washington post.<\/a> Any sophisticated weeder, someone aware of media literacy <\/a>will realize this is something else.<\/a> I'm saying to everybody out there, we have to be aware. We have to be vigilant. Andrew, of course, tucker carlson <\/a>made an appearance in these legal filings in the documentation of what was going on. There was video that tucker carlson <\/a>made there he is of his happiness at shopping in a supermarket in russia. Claiming that it's better than anything that we have in this country, which of course, is a lie that tucker carlson <\/a>was trying to sell to us. And one of the operators of this propaganda effort <\/a>in the united states, one of the russian operators, is a message in there, text message,<\/a> saying we can't use this. This looks too ridiculous. And someone else said, no, no, no, the boss wants us to use it. Yeah, well look, this is a sort of classic, and as rick said, not terribly sophisticated campaign, to get people to do very much what donald trump has been proselytizing, which is to i have type 2 diabetes, but i manage it well. jardiance! it's a little pill with a big story to tell. i take oncedaily jardiance at each day's staaart. as time went on it was easy to seeee, i'm lowering my a1c! jardiance works twentyfour seven in your body to flush out some sugar. And for adults with type 2 diabetes <\/a>and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the risk of cardiovascular death, too. Serious side effects may include ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration that can lead to sudden worsening of kidney function,<\/a> and genital yeast <\/a>or urinary tract infections.<\/a> A rare, lifethreatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur.

You may have an increased risk for lower limb loss.<\/a> Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of infection in your legs or feet. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin <\/a>may cause low blood sugar. jardiance is really swell the little pill with a big story to tell! jardiance is really swell here's why you should switch fo to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo <\/a>comes with a builtn engine,<\/a> like google, but it's r and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browsel but it blocks cookies and creepy ads that follow youa and other companies.<\/a> And there's no catch. It's fre. We make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today.<\/a> He he told the big tariff lie <\/a>become prorussian and antiukraine. And so this is very much a redux again tonight. Hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs of 2016. Hillary clinton <\/a>was had a under me, under no other president and i mean right very sort of hawkish view that was joined by sort of from the beginning did they traditional republicans, which was proukraine, and the paten cents. Republican party has really okay. China has never paid one penny flipped on that because the republican party, you know, that of the trump tariffs, not one we know from, you know, eight penny, and china was already years ago doesn't really exist anymore and is now sort of a subject to tariffs under all prorussian party. Which is why you see in these previous presidents. Donald trump just raised those tariffs higher than they had papers such an enormous ever been, but china never pays tariffs imposed by the american alignment of prorussia stance <\/a>and prodonald trump stance.<\/a> Government. And so that is the entire scheme joining us now is democratic representative katie porter of california, a member of the here is to sort of get people to house oversight committee.<\/a> I'm turning tonight to professor change their view of russia to porter, to teacher porter,<\/a> to former law school professor <\/a>and think that ukraine should resolve the war and give up teacher, how do we teach voters territory <\/a>to russia and for americans to be dissatisfied who actually pays the trump with the current sort of tariffs? well, i think we just we ejust make it very clear. Proukraine, profreedom, tariffs add <\/a>to the price of pronato stance.<\/a> It's a very overt policy that is goods. It's really that simple. If you're a business and you being propagated here. I really encourage people to need to import things, and you have to pay a tariff, you have read the papers. They're really clear, and it's chanter and verse <\/a>in black and to make that extra expense up. White. You don't have to take anyone's it's interesting to me that word for it. Donald trump brags about how you can see it in black and he's the only president who white. An dry weissman,<\/a> rick stengel,<\/a> thank you very much for wants to have skyrocketing starting off our coverage tariffs. Stop and think about why that tonight. You're welcome. Is. It's because other presidents, thank you. And one of the things that's at stake in this election is that both republican and democrat,<\/a> kamala harris wants to stop mass understand that tariffs ultimately are really damaging to a country's economy. They make it more difficult for murderers in this country while us to compete. Donald trump and republicans in and they would push inflation up.<\/a> So donald trump's economic congress want to guarantee that policy here is a disaster, and you don't have to take it from american mass murderers remain me. As you said earlier, lawrence, the best equipped mass murderers goldman <\/a>sachs, not exactly a in the world. That's next. Ld that's next. But here i am. . . Being me. Bastian of liberal, progressive keep being you. . . Economic policy themselves, have said donald trump tariff <\/a>and ask your healthcare provider about the number one prescribed hiv treatment, biktarvy. Policies would cost our economy billions.<\/a> Biktarvy is a complete, so kamala harris and she onepill, onceaday treatment <\/a>used for hiv in many people whether you're 18 or 80. With one small pill, biktarvy fights hiv <\/a>did more than just regardless to help you get to undetectableand stay there whether you're just starting or replacing your current treatment. Research shows that taking hiv treatment <\/a>as prescribed and getting to and staying undetectable prevents transmitting hiv through sex. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems <\/a>and kidney failure.<\/a> Rare, lifethreatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver <\/a>problems. Of preexisting conditions, it do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin.<\/a> Also contains affordable. Tell your healthcare provider one of the things the affordable about all the medicines and supplements you take, care act does is it makes it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, possible for people to change jobs, to leave jobs, and crucially to start their own small businesses. And we heard kamala harris talk a lot today <\/a>about the importance of small business, about her plan to invest in small businesses. We can't have that opportunity economy <\/a>and that economic growth if people are tied to jobs because of health insurance <\/a>or they're sick on the job because they don't have insurance at all. Congresswoman katie porter,<\/a> one of the best explainers in the history of the house of representatives,<\/a> thank you very much for joining our discussion tonight. Thank you. And clarence thomas' wife, virginia thomas, has been caught on tape opposing any ethics code for her husband while supreme court justices elena kagan <\/a>and ketanji brown jackson <\/a>have publicly voiced their support for an ethics code for the supreme court.<\/a> That's next.

Now there's an easiertouse at home skin tag <\/a>remover, clinically proven to remove skin tags <\/a>safely in as little as one treatment. A binding code <\/a> a binding code <\/a>of ethics is pretty standard for judges, so i guess the question is, is the supreme court any different. And i guess i have not seen a persuasive reason as to why the court is different than the other courts. Are you considering supporting an enforcement mechanism? i am considering supporting it as a general matter. I'm not going to get into commenting on particular policy proposals,<\/a> but from my perspective i don't have any problem with an enforceable code. Clarence thomas obviously has a very big problem with an enforceable code of ethics <\/a>for supreme court justices. Clarence thomas's wife is now busy thanking people for trying to prevent an enforceable ethics code for supreme court justices.<\/a> Propublica had obtained audio recordings <\/a>of a lawyer named kelly shackelford, who is the president of the rightwing group first liberty institute,<\/a> reading, this is shackelford <\/a>reading virginia thomas's email to him, thanking him for trying to block any possible enforcement of ethics at the supreme court. I got an email today <\/a>from ginni thomas, justice thomas's wife, so i want to read that to you. She said great to meet through the meetings today.<\/a> I cannot adequately express enough appreciation for you guys pulling in to reacting to the biden effort on the supreme court.<\/a> Many were so depressed at the lack of response by rs and conservatives as too many seemed to rely on one local lawyer in dc,<\/a> who is a great individual but is just one person for battling in the public square.<\/a> And this is in all caps. You guys have filled the sales of many judges and i just tell you, this is all caps, thank you so, so, so much. Joining us now is senator sheldon whitehouse. Senator, i don't see surprise on your face, i don't think, at what you just heard. No surprise at all except surprise at just the shamelessness of this operation. I mean the reform effort <\/a>is to try to allow, among other things, fact finding <\/a>about what the supreme court justices have been up to and one of the areas we've tried to do factfinding is into the activities of leonard leo,<\/a> who i think is that one lawyer that she mentioned who is the guy who directed a $25,000 payment to be exact, another, he said another $25,000 payment to ginni thomas. So she's smack in the middle. I guess this is a little bit like january 6. She's smack in the middle of the trouble land <\/a>now thanking this group for trying to fend off the reform effort <\/a>that would open up the investigation that would lead to her and her husband. I want to play a little more of what kelly shackelford <\/a>said, proving what a terrible lawyer he is and how he doesn't that w investigation that ould led to her and her husband. I want lay a little more of what kelly shackelford <\/a>said, proving what a terrible lawyer he is and how he doesn't understand either how the preme court works <\/a>or what treason is. Let's listen to this part. Justice kagan <\/a>spoke out to save that she wanted to see some changes made and so the headline liteallw president <\/a>harris and justice kagan remaking the court.<\/a> That is incredible. Somewhat treasonous what kagan did, the chief justice <\/a>ruled the court were trying to keep the oher branches hands off of them and then you've got pagan from the side really being someone disloyal and somewhat treasonous in what she's doing. So they are doing everything in their power. They are getting from every direction. So the chief justice <\/a>rules ourt, he says, and that of course it is somewhat treasous that ketanji brown jackson <\/a>said what she said about it and that elena kagan <\/a>has said what she said about it. He got pretty much everything wrong in their. It's my proposal to put the ethics regime over the court and my proposal is that they would run it, so it's not another branch of government dictating the ethics of the judiciary. It's the judiciary having to take care of its own business, particularly at the supreme court, and they act as if this is weird, but every federal dges nder <\/a>an enforceable enforceable code of ethics <\/a>where there is actua find affecting process where you find out what happens. And if you look at the states, 50 for 50, they have supreme courts with the similar problem of what you do about policing a misbehaving supreme court justice,<\/a> lee using lower court judge <\/a>all 50 of them have figured it out. Thlways a review panel <\/a>of some kind, sometimes even involving civilians. So this is a completely well established, very simple thing and for thesuys like shackelford <\/a>to be kind of whip people up into thinking somehow this is a separation of powers problem <\/a>or that this is something unusual, the only thing that is unusual here is nine members of the supreme court who want allo independent fact finding <\/a>about what mischief they are up to. Senator sheldon whitehouse,<\/a> who i'm going to mark down here as unsurprised by what we just heard about ginni thomas's email. Thank you very much for joining us again tonight. Thank you.
