georgia, south carolina, and possibly north carolina as well. and jermaine thought that was a possible strategy. he believes not think that he was generally correct in this that a greater percentage of colonists in the southern colonies had remained loyal to england that was the case in the northern colonies. they were times we glinted by economically and through the church and other factors. so jermaine felt that by going into the self, many of these loyalists would willingly bear arms for the king. and since many of the troops, a thousand trips had to be relinquished by clinton, they can be replaced hopefully by loyalists. some of whom would command to the regular british army and enter what became known as prudential residents and others would go into newly structured loyalists militia. and the idea was the british army would drive the rebels out of that area and in the loyalist relations would come in behind the british army and take possession of that area and pacify the area. workout, missus once the united states assuming its independence

and from day one, cornwallis orders to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina. he thought it would help him with subduing the rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of, well, in 1781 and all until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish here and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close. some things went wrong that we can maybe talk a little bit later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781 clinton was far more confident than washington was, what was going to happen that year. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any of the other four years that he was commander. and i think what clinton ultimately thought was that if the allies, if th

georgia has really been ground zero for those bills. texas is getting a lot of the attention right now, but the georgia bill was the first statewide bill that we saw that really raised significant alarms among voting rights advocates. it's also, by the way, in a state that's going to have two of perhaps the marquee races this year, including the governor's race, where we expect to see stacey abrams on the ballot once again. significant races of significant national import here and a chance to draw the nation's eye to this issue in a way that a normal hearing in a normal hearing room on a normal monday in washington simply wouldn't. and i should point out that there were no republicans participating today, four democratic senators from this panel came, no republicans. although you heard praise from democrats for republican secretary of state brad raffensperger who other republicans who held the line against president trump's lies about the election at that time. this was another way to raise the stakes for why democrats believe these law

from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any four years he was commander. and ultimately clinton thought if the allies could be prevented for precise victory in 1781 and that the war word and in a negotiated settlement washington felt that. lafayette, john adams is writing to congre

now lewis's home state, georgia, is at the epicenter of the republican assault on voting rights. home to one of the nation's most draconian voter suppression laws, implemented after black and brown voters in georgia gave joe biden the presidency and democrats control of the united states senate. a lot of people were hailing lewis on this anniversary including arizona conservative democratic senator kyrsten sinema, who got quite a bit of blow back for calling him her dear friend and personal hero. since sinema stands in opposition to ending the filibuster. meanwhile, other democrats were making good trouble in atlanta today. for the first time in 20 years, the senate rules committee held a field hearing, starting with impassion remarks from georgia senator, the reverend raphael warnock. john lewis's pastor at ebenezer baptist church. >> sadly, what we're seeing in georgia is an attempt to deny certain people the ability to have their voices heard in our democracy. as i have said time and time again, some people don't want some people to vote. congress must take action on voting ri

the georgia lawsuit is interesting, because they were careful to challenge that georgia law based on intent to discriminate by the georgia legislature. there was a unique timeline that let them make those arguments. it's not clear yet whether they'll be successful. ultimately they want what the country needs, which is hr-1, an act that will strengthen laws around registration and make it easier for folks to exercise their right to vote, as well as hr-4, the john lewis voting rights act which would restore essentially what shelby county took away, restoring preclearance and making it more difficult for people to discriminate against folks who are just trying to exercise their right to vote. >> mike memoli, we learned last hour via a white house official that vice president harris is going to be meeting with that group of texas democrats who left the state to block those republican-backed voting restrictions. president biden has made voting rights part of her portfolio. what can you tell us about that meeting and what the white house hopes to get out of it? >> reporter: the vice presid

you find the solution, who practically got where it is and when i look at louisville and atlanta and georgia first of all, in the southern states we have had lax gun laws, it lends itself for high proliferation and that already. there is this component to it, individuals already marginalized but further set off to decide particular. if you have young people who do not have this, very often the sanctuary a tool and all of that is removed they don't have any place to be or anything to do so now we have illegal guns and idle time on the hand. we have backlash against policing which has prompted what urc as many areas, reluctant by the officers to self initiate activities and in the community or they don't want to declare, last year it put them in a mental space where they want them to become a fair return if they are involved in these, they would be immediately in front of the house and they are aware of the funds onto treat, they may have to. what urc is one is the removal services and two, they are reactive and the only way you have crime is if you insert yourself and as a cop disrupted ahead

georgia was recounted three times. it is clear, for those who challenge the results and question the integrity of the elections, no other election has ever been held under such scrutiny and such high standards the big lie is just that, a big lie. [applause] 2020 election, it is not hyperbole to suggest it is the most examined, and the fullest expression of the will of the people in the history of this nation. it should be celebrated, an example of america at its best. instead, we continue to see the example of human nature at its worst, something darker and more sinister. in america, if you lose you accept the results, you follow the constitution, you try again. you do not call facts faked and then try to bring down the american experiment because you are unhappy. that is not statesmanship. [applause] that is not statesmanship, that is selfishness. that is not democracy, that is the denial of the rights to vote. it is subjugating. the denial of a full free and fair election is the most undemocratic, most unpatriotic an

georgia is america's newest battleground state. which means that the infrastructure that is required and battle and ask for every vote in the state of georgia to compete in georgia's rural black belt, to compete even in the 14th congressional district where marjorie taylor greene is the current member of congress. that is what is going to take to be successful in a statewide election in georgia. and i do think that senate bill 202 new anti-voting bill is going to have an impact on voters' experience. so it also appears whoever recognizes the reality on the ground and takes that into account as they are going out and talking to voters has a chance. that's the picture of politics. you're out there with your elbows and fight for every vote. >> yeah, and we can't forget this is the home where congresswoman coup nongets enthusiastic voters. thank you both. thank you for joining me this morning. >>> coming up, msnbc celebrates 25 years this week. my essay on what the next 25 years could and should look like. s could and should look like

host: let's go to conyers, georgia. caller: good morning. i appreciate you letting me get on. we continued to talk about uniting the country. you had a earlier that said black lives matter in antifa burned down the country last year. those are reasons why they shouldn't support the january 6 insurrection. clearly, that's a lie. there is not any pushback that black lives matter had anything to do with the sedition on january 6 or the nonsense that black lives matter is this left-wing crazy. there is not enough pushback on that. that's it. tell the truth. let's move forward. let's stop all this foolishness. host: palm beach florida, good morning. caller: i am calling regarding covid increases in numbers. no one has addressed illegal immigrants entering the country with no testing and no vaccination. there is one -- two sets of rules. i don't get it. somebody breaks our law and we expect them to follow our rules. apparently, that is not the case. host: that is barbara in florida. the wall street journal looks at activities in afghanistan after the announcement to pull troops out

seats if this georgia law had been in place. i mean they see, to eli and ari's point, they seem clear-eyed about the threat. if you could just pick up on ari's point that today's speech was really the first time that the rhetoric and the bully pulpit seemed in line with, commensurate to the threat they're facing. i'd like to know what you think the appropriate next steps are on both these paths, the public -- i don't know, public relations, public education, whatever you want to call it and the behind-the-scenes action to have federal voting rights legislation passed by this congress ahead of the midterms, because i think what everyone agrees on is that this supreme court, when you've got justice alito trotting out the word voter fraud, which wasn't a thing. if he had bill barr's phone number, bill barr could have told him so. you have no guarantee that the legal path and democrats say they plan to sue more states for their laws. but there's no guarantee that, one, it will be successful or, two, that it will be speedy. >> we hav

in georgia and iowa they have cut early voting. in alabama, arkansas, georgia, iowa, kentucky, oklahoma, they've shortened the time you get to apply for a mail ballot. in arkansas they've also shortened the amount of time you have to get that ballot back in. in arizona and florida they'll be kicking people off the absentee voter lists. in arizona, iowa, florida, kentucky, louisiana, texas, utah they'll be expanding voter purges, kicking people off the voter rolls entirely. in florida, georgia, montana, arkansas, new hampshire, wyoming, there's new harsher, stricter, narrower voter i.d. requirements. and yes, in florida and georgia they're banning water or any food or snacks for anyone in line no matter how long the line gets, no matter how hot it is that day, no matter how old the waiting voter is. 18 different states, 30 different voter restriction laws and counting. those are passed. those are law. and the effort to find a way to stop it, to try to put a floor under voting rights nationwide so no state can restrict voting rights

would there be new election laws in georgia taking place today? >> i believe so because for many years when i ran actually in 2018 i said we need to move away from signature match and move tors an objective measure like driver's license number. what was adapted in sp-202 is similar to what they're using in minnesota for absentee ballot voters. that's good solid election reform. >> okay. is taking away the powers of your office good solid election reform or response to what happened in the 2020 election? >> well, removing me as the chairman of the state election board, the decision the general assembly made, not one i supported but at the end of the day i do believe making sure we have accountability to counties that continually fail because we have had one county at least since 1993, fulton county has had massive failures every single election. people not just in fulton county are waiting for those results but actually people across the entire state because it represents about 11% of our total voting population. >> well, i appreciate you putting i

before the pandemic i was in rural randolph county, georgia, over 2 1/2 hours away from alabama. i saw staysee abrams. to install snet service for community members to participate in the online census and get jobs and i stopped in selma, alabama and visited the housing authority to discuss an initiative of bringing free broadband to children in low-income housing, george washington carver homes. and i heard from a mother of three who said her life was transformed by the program and completed her online assignments to get a job. and that is broadband for the people. >> there is a picture about how important broadband subsidy program is. i want to remine our audience members, drop it in the question and answer. i want to turn it over next to former f.c.c. commissioner clyburn. you spent nearly nine years at the federal communication commission working on these issues. how should they be working with i.s.p. and low-income communities get connected to broadband? >> i really want to set the stage as what you do and how you have been incredibly helpful. i see ourselves at this intersec

is your hearing in georgia going to change that? >> we've seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in georgia, that not only denies voters water when they're standing in line, but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. and guess what? you have to register 29 days before. this is clearly a focus by the republicans in georgia on limiting people from voting. so we're doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. that is the for the people act. the john lewis bill. you name it. if we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote. the republicans blocked it so we're taking our marbles and going home. that's not fair to the people of georgia. that's sure not fair to the people of texas. we're not giving up. there are many ways to proceed here, including the upcoming infrastructure packages that were just discuss ed with senatr portman. i'm happy to answer. i think we need a deadline that senator

but he would have to move to georgia and decide he wants to run. it hasn't happened but it's allowed warnock to get a head start in what we think is a competitive race because georgia still is -- it's a battle ground, but georgia is used to electing republicans. >> it is. and a midterm election year, you would think the president's party normally suffers. a couple other great races. the democrats trying to hold arizona. that has been a tough state but it's been trending more to the blue. and democrats hope it's a long shot, but they hope to knock off marco rubio in florida. one of the things you need in a competitive environment is money. we'll get the full context. mark kelley, the democrat in arizona raised nearly $6 million. florida, congressman demings, one of the democrats running to oppose rubio raised nearly 5 million since the june launch with 3 million cash on hand. rubio came in with about 4 million on hand. but the senate races are going to cost a boat load of dimes. the democrat are moving on they'll have money. >> and democrats were wo

and texas isn't the only state where republicans are trying to bring in similar laws. others include georgia rezoning, florida, democrats, say proposals to limit floating rights will disproportionately affect minorities, usually vote. democrat. it was president, jo biden's called the fight of voting rights. the test of our time was from the white house correspondent, kimberly hallett us, president joe biden traveled to philadelphia the birthplace of american democracy to highlight what he says is an existential threat. we're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the civil war has not, i personally sense the civil war. the confederates back then never breached the capitol as insurrection listed on january, the 6th. ah, why didn't says american democracy is under assault by republicans who refused to accept the 2020 presidential election results and even tried to overturn it? the big lie is just that a big. why would you want to election? it's not, i probably suggest the most examine in the fullest expression on the will of the people in the history of this nation. when that

from arizona to missouri to nebraska to georgia. i mean we could tell -- to texas. we see this happening. it is a concerted effort. it is an all-out effort on the part of the republican party. i think what you have been saying over the course of these many weeks, nikole, you have been sounding the alarm, you have been trying to tell folk that we are in serious danger, that democracy is in serious danger. i think it is time for president biden to go on the offensive. i think he needs to give a speech about not the state of the union but the state of american democracy from the oval office, to set the terms of the debate, to bring the fight to these people, because the stakes are that high. we keep seeing democrats on their heels while republicans are attacking at every front, on every front. it seems to me, given what we have described, what you have described, what we know, democrats have to go aggressive, and if they don't we need to start asking questions why. >> okay. i want to throw out everything i was going to ask you guys. let's talk about this. what does tha

your colleague, senator raphael warnock of georgia, will testify as well. now, this field hearing is a rare occurrence. can you elaborate for our audience what the need is in georgia, senator? >> you bet. so good to see you tonight, especially on the anniversary of john lewis's death as we're all pondering his phrase "good trouble" and what that means. right now it means fighting to defend the voting rights of all americans. and georgia is one of those states that has passed a comprehensive set of obstacles really targeted at black americans from keeping them from voting. it ranges from things like the state assembly can take over the county boards to you can't hand out water to somebody who's been kept waiting in lines because they understaff deliberately the precinct, and the list goes on from there. this hearing is to go to the front line and hear from the people in georgia about what this means for them, both to give them voice and hopefully for america to listen. >> now, i've spoken to president biden a great deal about voting rights in the last two we

again, you asked about georgia. yes, senator warnock be up again ne year ands we said, we're not going to be able to just out organize this lel of voter suppression. the scary thing about the georgia bill, which is part of a trade we are seeing inther states, it has that piece in there that would make it easier for the state t overturn elections. they have already gone about the process of removing people, removing officials from some of the election boards in some of the counties. that was made possible by this new law. with that provision, even if we have organized and when the vote, they can always come back and do exactly what donald trump was trying to get the secretary of state to do on that phone call, which is to go out and find 11,000 votes o decide fulton county, predominately black county in georgia, that that counties vote should not be counted. this bill gives them the ability to do that. we cannot out organize the level jim crow oppression we're seeing. we came close to spinning $25 million in their li

voting bill through the georgia legislature without meaningful debate. we heard about the provisions of the bill that basically say that nonpartisan -- that's already required and that's correct -- nonpartisan volunteers can't even give voters water when they stand in line despite the fact that there were voters that we heard from the day before that, with senator merkley and stacy abrams, that those voters stood in line for three hours, for four hours, for seven hours. we heard from the runoff changes, the runoff used to be nine weeks in georgia. it was reduced to 28 days. and during the runoff period, you can't vote under the new law on saturdays and sundays. you can vote that way during the general election. all of this, all of this is done in the words of north carolina, one of their judges many years ago in a decision who said this law discriminates with surgical precision. literally going through ways that people voted. literally noticing that 70,000 new voters registered during the runoff and then banning that because you have to register now 29 d

you have wasted $100 million, transfer that to the business owners in georgia. that is what should be focused on, not winning academy awards. >> emily: i love that so much. it's typical of the hollywood elites and self-congratulatory democrats that shine the sunlight on each other while leading in the shade, the other millions of americans who are worse for it. there's nothing for that reason except for the 6 that you have. >> sen. james: well plate. [laughter] >> harris: jonas james. >> sen. james: the emmys can do what they want. i don't care. there are people suffering in this country. it's not stacey abrams, it's not the least from the coast making this call for the emmys, and frankly, the people in america, normal, average, everyday americans see this. they see they are not represented, their views are not represented because diversity of thought it doesn't matter these people. being able to express yourself if you are not a democrat isn't paroled. participation awards for running campaigns are greats, but frankly, those of us who are dedicated to serving a

they brought a 90 page bill into the georgia senate. the vote was of the next morning, no one had time to read it. they did go over it some. the one aspect of this legislation is the allowance for the state legislatures to take over local voting boards. if they are thinking there is a problem, all they have to do is say there is fraud going on. they can take over those local boards and nullify the vote. i am surprised this does not get brought up more often. thank you, c-span. host: harry in georgia, there -- there. this is from michigan, republican line. caller: i wanted to comment when george terwilliger was on. my concern was the ability for nonpartisan inspections during the vote counting process. it seems there should be some standardized way so that at that point there would be no political denial of people to inspect the voting process. host: what do you think is the best body? if you want to make it nonpartisan, what is the best body to do that? caller: i think it should be prescribed ahead of time who the voter process witnesse

when you have a conservative effort across the country, but in georgia and in other places, it doesn't stay have passed voter suppression's laws to limit people's freedom to vote. and you know the answer should be in washington, where the constitution clearly says that a new congress has the right to make or alter our federal elections. if i don't know it causes greater than doing that right now, this is the moment to get it done. >> i want to read something that politico is reporting from congressman jim clyburn. it says the biden could pick up the phone and tell joe manchin, hey, we should do a carve out. he referred to the west virginia democrat who's resisted filibuster were torn. just do it. so there is jim clyburn saying to joe biden, just do it. you have to get this rule in the senate. vents at least for voting rights legislation. >> well, you know. i would abolish the filibuster and i've come to that decision after seeing obstruction, and so many other important pieces of legislation. thanks people as you get done to help their families for childcare. to do something about clim

in georgia it is about to come true. republicans are moving closer to taking control of elections in the state's most populous county. we will dig deeper into that story next. >>> plus, would we rather end the pandemic or stay loyal to our political tribes regardless of the number of lives that will be lost? for republicans the answer increasingly seems to be curtain number two. >>> infrastructure week was the butt of jokes for four long years under the ex-president. maybe that's why he has tried and fail to sabotage this president's successful bipartisan infrastructure deal.

klobuchar, always on the ball on these issues, will lead the senate rules committee to the state of georgia, your state, mr. president, for their first field hearing in 20 years. it will be an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the consequences of the big lie and show the american people just how far republicans have gone in order to make it harder, harder for people to vote in the 2020 election. the bottom line is this -- democrats will not stop fighting to protect voting rights and defend our democracy. as i said, the vote in june was the opening gun, not the finish line. last month, all 50 democrats, all 50 senate democrats united for the first time this congress to move forward on a strong voting rights bill. shamefully, shamefully republicans refused to even allow debate on voting rights legislation. hiding behind some of the exact same states' rights arguments, very similar arguments that southern senators used in the 1960's to oppose the voting rights act. how do you feel about that, republicans and republican leadership? how do you feel about using the same arguments that were used

jennifer mccoy is professor of political science at georgia state university, and we appreciate your being on al jazeera mom. thank you very much indeed. thank you. he was, attorney general says 59 people who to part an anti government protests, have been prosecuted. their actions were described as disturbances and charges included public disorder and causing non serious injuries. rights groups say more than 600 people were detained during and since the july 11th demonstrations, that's when thousands of cubans took to the streets, demanding political change, and protesting against poor economic conditions. read lindsey, as a journalist based in cuba with the media, organization, belly of the beast. he says that the government is responding to criticism. the trials have not been fair. there was a pushback against what is really been the big story of the international news media. and definitely a been all of our social media in recent weeks, which is that number of people detain, which as you mentioned, may, may be over 600, according to les compile, by a list compiled by journalist an

with me is hank johnson of georgia. he's a member of the house transportation and infrastructure and judiciary committees. thanks for being with us. how do you see this unfolding? we have bipartisan support for the part of the bill that you would have assumed we had bipartisan support for. the fixing of roads, bridges, public transport. we've got some problems on the much bigger bill that democrats are interested in. >> well, i tell you, thank you for having me this morning, ali. i think the fact that democrats control the house and the senate, though those -- that control is very slight. we do have the ability to deliver for the american people. we already delivered the american rescue plan which lifted our economy from the doldrums of another great recession. and we injected money into this economy which got people back to work, got our children back to school safely or at least gives them a chance of returning to school safely now. and put money into peoples pockets. and made an initial investment to rebuild america.

in georgia some election boards have been restructured. you see women of color, democrats, removed from county boards. and these are the places the actual election decisions are made where hours are set, where decisions on where precinct locations will go. and this fear that everything that held the line after president trump tried to overturn the results whether it was in michigan standing up against trying to block the certification, whether it was in detroit where they stopped poll watchers from gaining access, tried to stop counting or overturn results there were these checks that made sure our election held and the big fear right now is when you look at a lot of these bills and what's been passed and what has become a new law in these different states that may look like a dress rehearsal and some of the checks have been removed. a big fear is if those checks are removed what's to say they could be stopped again? >> yeah, yamiche, that's the thing. if democratic leaders are not angry enough that they are being systematically and openly

caller: it is riverdale, georgia. host: georgia, sorry. caller: not a problem. i just want to make a point, and i may have missed it earlier because i have not been washing the show all the time, but you are dealing with basketball and football. mostly with lack athletes generating all that money. shouldn't athletes get a percentage of all the moneys that the ncaa schools bring in? as opposed to just being able to use their likenesses to make money? host: thank you. guest: thank you, joel, for the question. there is a federal bill sponsored by senator cory booker and several other senators, the college athlete bill of rights, that would essentially provide what you suggested, which is revenue-sharing, and also medical trust funds, and the idea is that schools would have to share about half -- the revenue is defined in a certain way, but half goes to the players, and there are some who say that is great, and your comment bears out the reasoning for it, and others are more reticent. they say that would hurt schools in ways that have profound effects on athletes wh

. >>> new reporting on the man donald trump has repeatedly pushed as a potential georgia candidate. disturbing revelations about former nfl star her shell walker. i will talk to the reporter that broke the story. >>> also, surging covid cases among the unvaccinated and even amongst some that are vaccinated. we will look at the big difference between the two. >>> new signs of a republican split over messaging on vaccines. mitch mcconnell, marjorie taylor greene, telling people very different things. we will dive into who the gop faithful are really listening to. >>> and then a major change for a major league team leading to swift reaction this weekend. >>> plus, next hour, some trump bombshells. i will talk to one of the authors of the new book "i alone can fix it" about his interview with donald trump and what it says about the former president's plans for, yep, 2024. we are going to begin though in washington where despite failing a test vote earlier this week senate democrats and republicans say they hope to release and push ahead with their bipartisan infrastructure bill as soon

>> in georgia it is a crime to hide a dead body. what we know that has been reported is that these bodies were in the bed at the pickup truck. just because this was an active crime scene doesn't mean that the other murders occurred on the golf course. if somebody has killed somebody and they are traveling with dead bodies in the back of the stolen truck, that is still a crime in progress. what it appears to be used... that is what is golf pro came upon. there was some additional violence as a result. >> bill: paul pearson owns the pickup truck. he is dead. does he or the other guy in the back of the truck had any connection with the golf course? >> no, they don't. it has been reported that mr. pearson was from out of town. of note is his age. he is around 76 years old. the question is what is his business here? what was he doing in the area? what brought him to atlanta? they're going to have to work backwards to see where he was killed. they're going to have forensics to do on the truck. things are going to come back from the crime

state at the moment, and what in theory they could become well, it's not just taxes, it's the state of georgia, tara zone i. it's a handful, or actually it's more like a dozen republican lead states that are making changes because they allege that there was widespread voter fraud in 2020 and they want to clap down. in other words, make it harder to vote, democrat se, and the concern for democrats is that this will disproportionately hurt voters of color. and so this is something that for weeks, even months, they've been pressuring joe biden on saying, look, we helped you get elected. i'm talking about democrats and talked about voters of color who really delivered at the ballot box for joe biden. and they said, now you're just gonna sit here. well, all of these concert of lead governments around the country put in these restrictions to make it harder for us to bow. we need you to do something. so joe biden is coming to philadelphia, in fact, he's on the ground now to do something. what this is, is the birthplace of american democracy. in fact, behind me is independence hall. that is where the
