joining us now, joyce vance. former u.s. attorney. professor at the university of alabama school of law. she's an msnbc legal contributor. joyce, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i have to say, reading these legal filings today, was like reading about what the filings would have been, it feels like, is to timothy mcvay they have been caught in advance. timothy >> i think that's exacte feeling that you get here. this is a big arsenal that these two had amassed. they've got five pipe bombs. they've got fully automatic weapons. they've got 45 to 50 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. if this is how you entertain yourself, well, that means that you are a criminal. and to your point, tim mcvay, who is the touchstone for so many of these people, they all use the anarchist cookbook as a way to figure out how to make their devices and how to target their locations. and they all of that to timothy mcvay, with this singular focus on using violence to overthrow the government and using their own acts of violence deradicalize o

that is when they arrest joyce beatty. she was the first one arrested, as her hands are being put in zip ties, she started one more chant, fight for justice. congresswoman baby and eight others arrested today at the capitol. and the arrest gave us this stunning image today, and others like it. the chair of the congressional black caucus, hands zip tied behind their back, a police officer with her, belongings in a plastic bag, part of her processing for arrest. congresswoman joyce beatty, has been processed and has been released from police custody. she released the statement this evening saying i stand in solidarity with black women and allies across the country and of our constitutional right to vote. we have come too far and fought too hard to see everything systematically dismantled and restricted by those who wish to silence us. be assured, this is just the beginning. that was today, direct action and washington d.c.. there has been a lot of talk, a lot of speech on voting rights, including that barn burner of a speech

she was with joyc

that joyce vance and suzanna craig. thank you both very much. remember the alamo? texas republicans want you to remember it as they remember it in their bedtime stories. not the way it actually went down. a shocking suppression of facts and free speech in the lone star state, next. on the readout. on the readout i can't, you know republicans love to rage against censorship and cancel culture? well we don't actually walk at like the top it. take a look at what's happening in texas. state republicans led by republican luminaries like governor greg abbott who can't even manage the states electrical grid forced the abrupt cancellation of a book event at a state history museum because they didn't like with the book says. forget the alamo examines the role slavery played leading up to the battle of the alamo. naturally, the mere mention of slavery triggered the fragility of republican leaders who just happens to be on the board of the museum. now, abbott didn't have the courage to publicly condemn free speech but his deputy, lieutenant governor dan patrick carried the ba

so lawrence i'm gonna get out of the way because i'm eager to hear about joyce beatty and her experience today. >> rachel, it is stunning to see how many minutes, and we're talking single digit minutes, it took for her to get arrested when you compare that with january six. it has taken months to arrest some of those people. in fact, most of those people who are at the capitol on january six have not been arrested. so this juxtaposition today, and your coverage of it, was brilliant earlier in the hour coming into this. it's just -- i understand it, theoretically, what's that arrest was about today. but stacking it against january six is just stunning. >> and in its own terms, it's stunning even as a stand-alone thing. she and those other leaders today those african american leaders standing there in the a trans singing, and preparing to be arrested, putting themselves at risk, getting handcuffed and taken away, we but calling the moral question with such glaring dignity. it's a moving thing. and effective thing. it's the kind of moral sledgehammer that's going to be needed to knock down

joyce, thank you for being with us. when i read your column, i was thinking to myself, the nation, many people in the nation, were celebrating the strength with which joe biden came out and shamed republicans for doing what they are trying to do and made it clear that this is anti-democratic and it is not in the interests of our history or our country to be doing what they are doing in statehouses across the country. but you pointed out that there was something that democrats can do now to fix this. representative clyburn has suggested it and that is carve out matters to do with voting rights from the filibuster. make them not subject to the filibuster, where you have to get ten extra votes in order to pass something. >> that really looks like the increasing option here. biden's speech was strong and forceful, and he's such a superlative statesman. he knows the senate so well, that i think he was very intentional when he chose his words. at one point, he said, we have the tools that we immediate to get this done, to pas

good evening, joyce. this is what we saw. we saw someone who had such disdain for the rule of law, contempt for democracy. we're not going to impeach him again, of course, but we should bring the witnesses in, and understand what vulnerabilities in government, and put in place laws, so in future leader, democrat or republican, can test us in this way again. >> congressman swalwell, i'm sure you have seen it now. it's an instant classic. here is jim jordan today. >> did you speak with president trump january 6th? >> yeah, i speak with him all the time. >> on january 6th, did you speak with him before, during or after the capitol was attacked? >> i have to go -- i spoke with him that day. after. i think after. i don't know if i spoke with him in the morning or not. i just don't know. i don't know that -- when those conversations happened. >> translation, hamina, hamina, hamina. congressman swalwell, you're reaction to that? >> i remember every second of that day, sadly, and there isn't a day that has gone by where i haven't tho

joyce, always a pleasure. let's get into this here because we have several major doj headlines to talk about. let's start with the doj saying that the irs has to turn over trump's tax returns to a house committee. what is the legal significance of this? >> well, the legal significance of this is that congress's balance of power with the executive branch is being properly maintained. the statute that this happens under actually requires that the treasury department shall provide this sort of material to congress upon a request. there's a very low threshold here perhaps for treasury and the justice department to make sure that this is pursuant to a legitimate congressional inquiry, but congress has more than met this threshold and it is long past time for this sort of action to be taken here. this really restores the balance of power between the branches of government. >> in terms of time, joyce, how long is it going to take for congress to get these documents, and does it mean that they would be released to the

joyce: today, americans are making less money than they were one year ago with annualized real wages down nearly 4%. it's families, not politics, that are feeling the effect of president biden's failed economic policies. inflation very simply is taxation and it has increased every month since biden has taken office. while democrats in congress mocked concerns about rising inflation, we saw the effects that this crisis is having at the gas station and at the grocery store. now as experts warn that the effects of inflation may last longer than anticipated, president biden has suggested flooding our economy with even more wasteful spending, urging $100 bribes for individuals to get vaccinated, and spending billions of dollars for social programs will not fix our broken economy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. joyce: the american people know this is a failure and they know that the democrat policy is to blame. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? mr. butterfield: i ask

and joyce vance, who is a law professor at the university of alabama and an msnbc contributor. mike, the president is going to dial up the rhetoric today. beyond the rhetoric, there's not much that he can do legislatively as long as the filibuster remains and as long as there aren't ten republicans willing to support voting rights legislation. president biden talks all the time about how politics is the art of the possible. but right now, mike, what's possible? >> reporter: well, jeff, i have to say the last time i was in this room covering joe biden, he was a candidate fpresident. it was a little over a year ago. he was celebrating some primary night victories. at the time what the biden campaign thought was their formula for success was separating issues that have a very loud and vocal following among a very narrow slice of the electorate and separating it from the issues of importance to a much wider swath of the electorate. in the case of voting rights, you couldn't have a more white hot issue of importance to both the party's bases at the moment. what the president is tryi

>> well, it is right to what joyce is talking about. when you have somebody under the conservatorship in a law of the state in this case california, it strips every right that person has. the right to enter into a contract and like you would have to do to hire your own lawyer, and sets up a specific process about what happens when a conservator is removed and it puts all of this in the hands of the judge who has to make the decisions based on the evidence before him or her, and in most cases, this is somebody who can't really take care of themselves or is in failing health, but in this case, it is somebody who is clearly a healthy woman, but whose conservatorship began over mental health, and now it is showing how difficult it is to get out of all of this. one of the conservators in this has withdrawn saying that i did not want to act if it is against her wishes. her attorney who is still representing her now, and seeking to withdraw is citing the same thing. and even britney spears' mother has given a statement to the court saying that

it empty joyce christensen was among those who found the video in support of the fellow countrymen. a lot of people were viewing beyond the assange campaign, viewing. this is just something that the trump administration was, was doing well. it actually wasn't the trump administration that was doing it. of course, we know now that don't trump consider issuing a pardon to join the signs for someone that wouldn't, that was going after him. you wouldn't be thinking about issuing a pardon. so this is something that the u. s. department of justice is showing and their that's why nothing is simple as simply dropped with the change of regimes in the us or administrations in the us. you know, it's almost pain swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalist tonight still protest at calling him a journalist. will are going to say that julian assigns is form of journalism. is probably the most pure it comes with that any spin with that, any sort of opinion that's added to it. he's just giving the raw data to the people and i think he should be applauded for

congresswoman joyce beatty of ohio, chair of the black caucus. she and her group started marching through the lobby, the atrium of the senate office building, singing songs. you might recognize on the right there, in the black voters matter voter, latosha brown who has been a guest on our show a number of times. turns out she has amazing pipes, just a beautiful voice. they made their way to the center of the building. they kept singing. clapped. they asked the senate to act to protect voting rights. capitol police officers started warning them over a megaphone that they were all about to be arrested if they didn't stop. as you can tell, their voices droned them out. that's right about the time the singing turned into chanting. you can hear them saying, end the filibuster. end the filibuster. there's all those police officers waiting in the wings. you know what's coming. congresswoman beatty started a chant of "pass the for the people act. pass the for the people act." and you see that police officer off to the side readying the zip ties. that is

with me now is msnbc contributor joyce vance, the cohost of the sisters in law podcast. great to see you this morning. i don't know that most good americans care at this point whether kevin mccarthy decides to populate his part of the panel. they care we get to the bottom of how this happened, what prevents it from happening again, and who our elected members are who may have been assisting and aiding and abetting the insurrectionists >> it's so important to have a historically accurate version of what happened here. and many people may forget now that we have the 9/11 report, many of us have read all or parts of it. but we forget that that process too was a difficult one. not everyone embraced it at the outset. but the lesson we learn from the 9/11 report is that if this january 6th process proceeds so we can understand the facts without any sort of varnish put on them, what happened, who was there, what did they do, and also hear from expert witnesses who can inform us prospectively about what can be done to prevent a recurens in the future, what do we need to do in th

joyce vance, former u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama, professor at the university of alabama school of law. joyce, great to see you here on a friday night. thank you so much for being here. >> good to be with you, rachel. >> i have gotten very shy about the word "unprecedented" but i was surprised when we started poking around and realized that this might be the largest bond ever put up in a u.s. criminal case ever. what do you make of the size of that bond and the fact that barrack, in fact, was released? >> i was surprised that barrack was released. as a prosecutor i think i would have gone to the mat to try to keep him in custody just because he is such a flight risk, and that's one of the two bases federal prosecutors have for keeping a defendant in custody until trial, either that they're a flight risk on a danger to the community. barrack is pretty much the poster child for a flight risk, dual citizenship, access to a lot of money and private travel. so he's really someone that it is d

p of joyce christmas. and was among those who filmed the videos in support of their fellow countrymen. a lot of people were viewing who, beyond the science campaign, feeling this is just something that the trump administration was, was doing well. it actually wasn't the trump administration that was doing it. of course we know now that the trump considered issuing a pardon to join assad's for someone that wouldn't. that was going after him. you wouldn't be thinking about issuing a pardon. so this is something that the u. s. department of justice is showing and that's why nothing is simple as simply dropped with the change of regimes in the us or administrations in the us. you know, it's almost pain swept to the side by a lot of the mainstream media. and you even have some journalists to die that still protest at calling him a journalist will are going to say that julian assigns is form of journalism. is probably the most pure it comes with any spin. with that, any sort of opinion that's added to it. he's j

joyce beatty got arrested the other day, but the argument is we need a road forward. joe biden is key to that road forward because of the filibuster. >> absolutely. listen, joe biden should not fall into the joe manchin trap of believing that there are ten magical friends of republicans who are going to step forward to provide 60 votes in order to pass some form of voting rights. we know that's not going to happen, so the alternative is what mechanism, what carve out or exception to the filibuster or reform, if he prefers that term, is he going to be able to convey to his friend joe manchin to pass, because without it we're not going to get voting rights. and i think what we've seen in the latest supreme court ruling, from arizona and what we've seen in the audits and what we've seen from the -- i use audits loosely. and seen in the texas legislation making its way down the pike is that we need federal legislation. we're not going to litigate our way out of this. unfortunately we're not going to be able to persuade republicans to defend democracy. so what and how are

the chair wom of congressional black caucus joyce beatty arrested on thursday with activists during a voting rights protest in a senate office building. speakers voiced frustration about how the john lewis voting rights act and the for the people act stalled in the senate. in a round table discussion vice-president kamala harris emphasized that the fight to protect voting rights is being done for all americans, not just those on the left. >> let's be clear. not about any one racial group. or gender group. this is about all americans. this is not an issue about democrats versus republicans. this is about americans. and this group of national leaders are very clear about that. this is the fight for all people regardless of who they voted for in the last election or the next election. >> the focus of protecting voting rights was central to an impassioned speech given by president biden earlier. as a handful of gop led states continue infringing american's ability to vote. he gave a stark warning the behavior could go on some time. quote we're facing another test in 2022 in new wave of vo

i thank you and your co-airchg -- co-anchor and i thank joyce beatty. i stand before you tonight with a sense of urgency because the most fundamental and sacred right we have as americans is under attack. across this country, state lawmakers have interviewed at least 389 restrictive bills in 48 states just this year. and 14 states have enacted more restrictive voting laws. even the highest court in the land is chipping away at this fundamental right. we know that those who would engage in suppression, subversion and intimidation are not resting, but neat they are is the congressional plaque caucus. tonight we are standing up and speaking out because we know that just as message is our power, so, too, is our vote. i'm going to say it again. our vote is our power. we are here to protect and defend that right. because the vote is tied to everything. the vote is tied tore criminal justice reform and health care, the vote is tied to the minimum wage increase and access to affordable child care and tied to the preservation of our democracy and tied to our ver

. >> joining me now is joyce van, i am going to start with this. on a scale of one through a thousand on the likelihood that i would one day won the championship or the chances of being a millionaire tomorrow , what are the chances that donald trump will sit in a lawsuit against social media companies? >> if one is the lowest then i am going with one, jason. >> and the reason is because and this is my thought as a non-lawyer. one, donald trump does not want to go through with this lawsuit to begin with. it would lead to discovery or all sorts of investigations and e-mails of intimidation attempts between him and members during the campaign. what could he be doing by claiming he wants to sit for a deposition, how is it helping him or any of his lawyers? >> this looks like a fun raising stunt from the moment he filed the lawsuit. he and the republican party sent out fund raising e-mails. it would be surprising to see it goes as far as discovery because of the fallacy of this legal claim that social media platforms are government entities. it boggles

i'm not going to call you joyce lynn anymore. i apologize for that. jocelyn benson. thank you, secretary, for joining us. you and other lawmakers and activists met with the vice president today to talk about voting rights and threats to voting in michigan and around the country. what are you hoping the federal government will do? >> use every tool at their disposal from the bully pulpit to their lawmaking ability, to their enforcement authority at the justice department to protect the votes of every citizen in this country. it's clear the assault on democracy is escalating. it's clear that as the democrats in texas have shown us today, we all need to prioritize this as the most fundamental issue before us in this moment, and we have to use every tool at our disposal to ensure that in every election, state, local, and federal, that every vote is protected. >> michigan was targeted by the former president and his supporters trying to overturn the election. lawmakers including sidney powell, lin wood, sued using witness statements that claimed supposed fraud, right? wel

today congresswoman joyce beatty, chair of the congressional black caucus, was arrested and taken into custody by capitol police during a peaceful protest in support of federal voting rights legislation. also today texas democrats who fled to washington in a last-ditch effort to prevent the passage of a very restrictive new voting law in their home state met with senate democrat who happens to have the key vote on these issues, joe manchin of west virginia. the problem is that whole thing with the filibuster never actually came up with conversation with him. >> there shouldn't be a democrat or a republican that wouldn't or couldn't or shouldn't vote for something that truly just only deals with voting and the rights of voters. >> did you have a discussion in there about that? >> that's what we had. >> there is no thing about the filibuster. >> there is a thing about the filibuster. >> what if no republicans will support that. they indicated they're not doing why -- >> you know why? because they had a bill that's 800 pages long and everything thrown at them. let's get back to the basic

joyce, i love the fact they essentially wrote their own indictment with spreadsheets. your thoughts. >> well, this is an absolutely fascinating sort of commentary tour for the top executives at the trump organization to be making right now. of course they haven't been indicted yet. allen weisselberg is the one who's indicted in this particular indictment at least so far. but it's hard to figure that there aren't criminal defense lawyers for any number of people who have been out there just face palming as they hear this sort of commentary. you know, what you expect from the owner of a company when there is an indictment like this is to deny the conduct occurred or express outrage. this sort of approach saying, gee, it's not much of a crime, is it, is really unusual and probably won't play well if it ever has to play in a courtroom. >> it's sort of like i only rob the five and dime argument. it's not like a rob a rich company like walmart. that doesn't help you if you rob the five and dime. this is one of the things that trump argued. never before -- never before -- has
