robin, let's turn to this meeting the president is having with ceos at the white house now. these ceos are contending with the pandemic. there's historic inflation, a supply chain crisis at the same time, no quick fixes to any of this. what can they do in terms of actual deliverables here? >> this is optics. this is not some president in 1900 exorting j. pierpont morgan to come in and help. the oil market, which is so fungible, can you really rein in the saudis, you have sway over opec, you have sway over your own oil patch. i do feel for biden in that it kind of feels helpless. inflation is at a three-decade high, an intractable supply chain issue, we're 18 months removed from the onset, 19 months, of this pandemic. and you're wondering why you can't enjoy the fruits of a full economic comeback. it's really vexing. >> it's optics, but it's also resetting the narrative. look at the ceos he's got there today, mattel, etsy. walmart was able to hire 200,000 people in the last few months. they haven't had to price prices so much because a store the size and scale of walmart can

robin, good to see you. we saw your names come up in the credit. thanks for joining us. so, how did franklin come to be a what sort of cultural impacted he have? >> so, frankly actually came to be -- actually his full name is franklin armstrong. but frankly team to be through an act of a light ship in 1968, -- a couple of weeks after the assassination of martin luther king, a white school teacher wrote a letter to charles schulz and said i think you need to have african american representation in your comic strip. and charles schulz brought her back and said, i would love to do that, but i want to make sure that the black community does not think that i'm condescending to them. so, he was very aware of a potential impact. she spoke to several of her friends who were black and they said, they thought it would be a great thing. wrote him back, told him that, and shortly thereafter, franklin was in the comic strip. actually, july that same year, from april to july. >> so, before we talk about the legacy of franklin. there is controversy around this iconic scene. here frankl

country robin was very candid, in his very first efforts in the cycle, here at the end of the day, it is not the congressional leadership that makes you think that it have, been the legislation on the hill will look at it as though -- but i would look at it as the council focus groups, the string voters, and the independent voters, some democrats, they don't really know what is joe biden's message. what does he want an apart from his infrastructure bill. a basic maybe, okay, they are not really convinced about. that but what is the whole point of the biden administration so to speak? and i think you could think different about it frankly, it could go a little centered, i would prefer more, centered but we need to come to a group and show some restraint, honestly. and i think voters would respect that. robert, i don't think anyone has pair frayed rogers and hammers thin but i'm going to, here's the question, how do you solve a problem like joe manchin? >> well look, i actually think joe manchin wants to get to yes, on the build back better agenda. i just think it'll take him a little b

i want to do a round robin. is this verdict what you expected, i'll start with you, elie? >> yes, it's what i expected. it's illegal to lynch a black man in this country as long as you catch it on video. as long as you catch it on video and the dumb defendants leak that video thinking that it's going to help them and go through one, not one but two prosecutors and you get an all white jury but a judge who isn't as bias as some of the judges we've seen in the recent past, yes, it's illegal to lynch a black person in that particular set of circumstances and this was the result i expected. >> i will put -- i never almost never disagree with you, elie, but we don't have an anti lynching law in this country so in terms of federal law, we don't have an anti lynching law. it isn't federally illegal to lynch a black man in this country. katie phang, you've been covering this case with us. you and paul butler were the legal dream team on this. is this the result you expected? >> it was but i don't think it was 100% because it was a rule of law victory. the history to get here was t

including the alarming actions by robin and the leaders of the wisconsin legislature. trying to hijack the election process. it's not a party it's a cult. and we have to be utterly alarmed at the direction that this is taking. we can't survive as a country without a viable two party system. without leaders willing to stand up to this set of violent responses, and kevin mccarthy is pathetic in that respect. we're in deep deep trouble. >> yeah. the weakness wafts off mccarthy. and always has. meadows floating that trump idea. which that's -- i thought it was a troll. it's a real thing out there. i think will probably pick up. almost certainly pick up steam. it's done a variety of reasons. one of them is put pressure on mccarthy. to say, do the full maga bit or you're out. >> and we know the strategy here. they made it overt. that what they're going to do is take control of the house. and of course if they do take control of the house, we'll see 500 -- it's going to be an attempt if the lose in 2024 to try and send the election to the house where they will almost certainl

joseph robin at -- >> 365 days later, there are still people, in this country that denied joe biden's victory. including his opponent, former president donald trump. earlier this fall, trump held a rally in one of the states he lost, georgia. and there, he repeatedly complained that georgia's governor, brian can't, refused to reverse's defeat or call a special election. >> i said, brian, listen, you have a big election integrity problem in georgia. i hope you can help us out and call a special election. let's get to the bottom of this for the good of the country. let's get to the bottom of it for the good of your state. let's go, election integrity the. what can be better than that? say i'm sorry, no i cannot do this? >> so those remarks should be of great interest for the district attorney's office which has been quite assembly a case against the former president. for his attempts to overturn the reduction. on saturday, we learned that the district attorney's close paneling the special grand jury in the investigation, which may lead to charges against donald trump. now, key focus of
