but i want to ask you about tish james. she announces she wants to depose the president, former president, in this civil suit. as i said, you can almost hear donald trump's lawyers saying, hey, hold on, this isn't fair, you're running for governor. then a second later, she drops out of the race. so what do we know about why she took herself out of the race for governor? >> well, i don't think we know the full story yet, katy. but indications from talking to a number of people in new york politics is that she was trailing in the polls. kathy hochul, who took over after governor cuomo resigned, has a pretty solid lead in the polls, number one. and tish james, according to multiple people who know her, enjoys being attorney general more than she actually enjoys campaigning. politico had an interesting story yesterday about her campaign that was basically nonexistent, was not doing many events, was staying basically in her office, and she had not been out as many gubernatorial candidates had been. frankly, she was losing, not w

but before james clyburn was a kingmaker or president-maker, if you will, before james clyburn was the highest ranking black member of the congress, he was a college student at south carolina state university. he graduated from the hbcu in 1961, but he got his diploma in the mail. he never got to walk across the graduation stage until now. congressman clyburn was originally scheduled to deliver the commencement address at his alma mater but he wanted to march with his graduates. so, he called his good buddy president joe biden and asked him to speak in his place friday. and based on the history between these two as i mentioned it should come as no surprise that president biden was happy to own own blige. >> you're ready because you're part of a proud and sacred tradition. a hbcu. a purpose, commitment to make a difference in all of their students not just to lift up yourselves, but to lift up others. and institution grounded in the belief that every american, of every race, background and zip code, should have a fair and equal chance to get as far as their god-given talents give them.

joining me is james zogby. thank you so much for joining us. first off, how unprecedented is this behavior on capitol hill that you have members of congress attacking others, in some cases outright lies, as we saw in the case of lauren boebert, and in others calling or creating animase depicts the deaths of others. >> unfortunately that's not unprecedented. i think of the writing of the book "the muslim mafia" about how there was a plot on staffers to islamize america and she singled muslim staffers on the hill. then there was michele bachmann's total fabrication of muslim brotherhood roots for aberdeen. and i could go on and on. newt gingrich starting the campaign against the victory mosque in new york, which the gop, the nrcc, the republican committee did paid television ads in 17 districts. lauren boebert is simply picking the fruit of a cancerous diseased tree that was planted by the gop two decades ago. and they have been cultivating this and they have been working it and they're now exploiting it. she wouldn't have told that lie if she ha

letitia james thought, i'm not winning. it's going to be an uphill climb to win this race with a lot of other democrats in the race. and if i run, it'll taint this thing i want to do against donald trump. it will be harder to do what i need to be doing if people think i'm using it as fodder for a gubernatorial race. >> thanks to all of you for that. >>> right now at the white house as we speak, president biden, so far as we know, he's still on the phone. he's still on the phone with the ukrainian president. russia keeps up that troop buildup along the border. >>> and we're keeping an eye on a couple things happening in congress. house speaker nancy pelosi about to speak any minute along with several committee chairs. then on the right side of your screen, the senate floor with moves now with a really important vote to set up debt limit increase. >>> and we've got an exclusive look at the nation's first ever injection site. officials say 17 people have already been saved by overdoses with quick action by workers there. we'll

all right, well, james and jennifer crumbley both pleading not guilty to all four counts of involuntary manslaughter. the two were arrested after an overnight manhunt. they were found hiding in a commercial building after hours of searching. lawyers for the crumbleys defending that move. >> last night and throughout the day we were in contact with our clients. they were scared. they were terrified. they were not at home. they were figuring out what to do, getting finances in order. >> their son, 15-year-old ethan crumbley is accused of killing four students and injuring several others in a school shooting on tuesday. a tragedy the oakland county prosecutor this morning says his parents could have prevented. >> this is a very serious, horrible terrible murder and shooting, and it has affected the entire community, and these two individuals could have stopped it, and they had every reason to know that he was dangerous, and they gave him a weapon, and they didn't secure it, and they allowed him free access to it. >> thousands of members in that community gathering last night for a vigil to

marshals are now looking for his parents, jennifer and james crumbley. they were scheduled to be arraigned right now. this afternoon the prosecutor gave a stun asking startling press conference detailing the charges for the parents, james and jennifer crumbley, four counts each for involuntary manslaughter. one large for each innocent child their son gunned down on tuesday. the prosecutors emphasized the responsibility parents and gun owners have describing disturbing missed opportunities and warnings from the school the day of and the day before the tragic shooting. here was just one? on november 21st, '21 a too mucher at the oxford high school observed ethan crumbley searching ammunition on his cell phone during class and reported the same to school officials. jennifer crumbley was contacted via voice mail by school personnel regarding the son's inappropriate internet search. school personnel indicate they followed that voice mail up with an email but received no response from either parent. thereafter, jennifer crumbley exchanged text messages about t

any question as it relates to bond for james crumbley? >> your honor, we have no questions. you but i want to state on the record, i was not able to watch the entire press release and what the -- i had no idea there was a 4:00 arraignment, ms. layman didn't know either. the media had so many reports of random times quite frankly we didn't believe those -- >> we're not going to get into -- >> i wanted to apologize to the court because we weren't aware. we faxed over appearances and no one told us we're going to do this at 4:00. we sent appearances late in the day. i apologize to the court because we don't miss dates. so thank you. >> thank you. finally as it relates to bond, the -- in the event that the defendants do post bond i am requiring that they turn over any and all weapons to the oakland county sheriff's office. that must occur. within -- realistically, i'm not sure what they have in their possession or where they're going to be released to if they post bond but i'm going to require they turn over all weapons upon release from the oakland county jail. any other questi

we should note attorney general james announced yesterday she's abandoned her campaign to be governor of new york state and will run another term as a.g. joinings us now, our friend, danny cevallos. thanks so much for being with us. donald trump is a private citizen. does he have any chance of getting out of this deposition? >> not likely. as you said, he's a private sit designation. you're not going to get executive privilege claims. this is essentially something that predated his white house run, deals with his private affairs, and there's little chance he can get out of being deposed. however, what we've seen historically from trump when he is deposed, he finds a way to get out of a deposition by giving essentially non-answers. >> give us a little more of the contours of the investigation. what could the outcome be for the trumping or and trump himself. >> first strategically, the fact that we're at an investigation means we're at the end. you don't conduct a deposition of such a high-ranking official in the organization until you've gotten all of the information. the deposition is

james earl ray was a rabid segregationist. he was a real racist. he was kicked out of the army in the late '40s. he'd been in and out of prison for years. he'd actually escaped from prison in missouri, in 1967, the year before he killed king. he spent time in mexico. spent time in california. by 1968, he was reportedly intoxicated with the reactionary campaign of george wallace, the segregationist alabama governor, who ran for president in 1968 on an anti-civil rights,

eventually james tested negative 24 hours apart and the nba concluded his initial testing was a false positive. the superstar will likely be back in the lineup for tonight's game against the clippers. >>> to the court in memphis where the grizzlies have delivered what can only be called an epic beatdown of the thunder, defeating oklahoma city by an epic -- wait for it -- 73 points. final score, 152-79. great effort there. >>> in phoenix, the suns streak to a franchise record 18th win in a row. good job, suns, with last night's 114-103 victory over the detroit pistons. that's the best team in basketball at the moment. >>> meanwhile the international olympic committee yesterday said it held a second call with chinese tennis player feng shui. they deflect criticism months before the winter games in beijing. it's in february. the ioc's statement says in part, quote, we share the same concern as many other people and organizations about the well being and safety of peng shuai. this is why another ioc team held another video call with her. we've offered her wide-ranging support, will stay i

we will go straight to a joining us now is democratic congressman james clyburn, he is the house majority. congressman clyburn, always happy to see you, i have never been more happy to see you then tonight because when i read that statement about you testing positive and you said right away that you were asymptomatic which is great news, but we always worry when we hear something like that. how are you feeling right now? >> i feel great. except for nasal sounds, i have been fine. i have not had any fever. no aches and pains, and quite frankly, i was pretty surprised getting ready for my granddaughter's wedding, my daughter establish this protocol for everyone to get tested and we were sitting around [inaudible] it was at one point positive, at one point not positive, so i got concerns about that and i called my physician and told him what i had just experienced. he advised me to get the pcr. they got the results back at 8:30 this evening and i immediately put a statement out. >> one of the problems that you've identified and announcement about this tonight, it took 56 hours to get the res

had i not fired james comey, you may not be talking to me about my four years at the white house. he said, quote, i don't think i could've survived if i didn't fire him. he doesn't mean, he'd be dead. he means, he couldn't survive does president. he couldn't have made it four years as president. because of the fbi investigations that were in placed under james comey, that stood to remove him from office. so he fired the fbi director in order to divert those investigations. in order to keep himself in power. he just admitted that is why he did it. and that it worked. that is how he managed to stay in office for four years. this is like the thing you hoped would entrapped somebody into saying. this is the thing you hope to tape somebody accidentally admitting to somebody doesn't know that they're going to get in trouble for saying it. this is him confessing. i would just say, not a lawyer, but, theoretically, if somebody were going to bring an objective prosecution against him, firing the fbi director in order to get rid of the investigation that stood to remove him from office. if
