well, now a current southern governor is mimicking george wallace, and he is the absolute worst. "the reidout" after this. reidos for cash flow that lasts, even when you're not working, so you can go from saving... to living. ♪ let's go ♪ >>> last week's guilty verdict in the murder trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin was heralded by many as a step in the right direction for racial justice. and while chauvin will now face the consequences for the brutal killing of george floyd, this was not the first time that chauvin used excessive force during his 19-year career as a police officer. in 2017 he was accused of using the same force against a 14-year-old teenager responding to a 911 call about a domestic assault. the minor was slow to comply with chauvin's demands and was met with force. according to court documents, chauvin struck the child multiple times in the head with a flashlight before applying the same type of neck restraint with his knee for 17 minutes. that's 17 minutes as the boy and his mother pleaded with chauvin to stop, and that the boy could

it feels so george wallace i'm sure george wallace didn't actually think of it when he was governor of alabama. >> oh, this is straight out of the jim crow textbook. let's contextualize jim crow, shall we? when black people got more free there were new laws created to make us less free. this is exactly what is happening right now. what this actually shows me, joy, is that white supremacy is scared to death of us and it absolutely should be. this is what you do when you cannot win fair and square. you suppress votes and you suppress voice. so we have to pay attention here because the gop plays the long game and they play the expansive game. they plan far in advance. they gerrymander states so they can control state houses, and then they use all of that power to maintain their power and suppress us from multiple angles. so then they make it illegal to engage in the two most democratic practices you've got in this country, and they make sure to target black folks when they do it. that way, among other things, you can leverage the police that you have militarized to protect your systems an

we had others and george wallace and the independent party and the no-nothing movement and elements of the south which we had white supremacy and apart of the confederacy. never have we been completely taken over. why? that's where the voters are. america has many great things. the soil of america, part of the soil of america, this is in the soil of america and what was different today is we have one legacy party that's completely adopted it which is a minority of the country but it is powerful along with one major cable network. we never had it before in america. >> we had lelements of it and pockets of it. >> kathleen, let me ask you the cable network, tucker carlson is a smart guy with a giant platform and a large audience. i don't know why he would say something like that. he's putting out there. nothing dangerous about these people. gosh, they did not have guns. they had some ideas, right? it is false. how dangerous is all this? >> it is incredibly dangerous. i think this is a particularly bolder vision comes not very long after an event that we all watched and it is hard to make

it is just, you know, george wallace in 1961 when he was sworn in as governor of alabama, cited the wonders of anglo sax only civilization in the speech where he said segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. so i think president biden is well equipped for this. and i think that the presidency, as franklin roosevelt said in september 1932, it is pre eminently a place of moral leadership. and moral in this case isn't just about ethical behavior. moral, the root of moral is custom. it is how we talk to each other. how we talk about each other. it is how we are and we've experienced four years having a president who always encouraged our worst instincts and thankfully that's over. >> when this covid thing is over, we'll have to have a dinner party. i'm going to invite you over with all of my friends and you'll be the guest of honor and i'm not kidding. i will fly you here and have you speak to my friends. >> let me tell you, joseph is a lot smarter. >> well, joseph -- listen, joseph is already on the guest list. so you're new to the guest list. >> he's trying to get from okla

people get upset when i liken ron desantis to george wallace, but look at what he's doing. you have a racist sheriff in miami who notoriously who said when the looting starts, the shooting starts. he was considered an arch segregationist, basically a while nationalist with a badge. donald trump quoted him as saying when the looting starts, the shooting starts, essentially saying if people are marching -- and people who are in black lives matter were not looting. people were marching and there would be people who would commit mayhem at night. they were found to be right-wing agitators to frame black lives matter that would make the protests look more violent. but whatever it is, they're trying to criminalize protests. they're essentially trying to make legal what a neo-nazi did to kill heather heyer, who was a white black lives matter protester who marched in charlottesville. remember why that start. it started over the idea of taking down confederate monuments, which were put up to warn black people decades after the civil war, not to do with the civil war directly, but to

how did they deal with george wallace? what is the southern strategy? >> don't forget wallace started as a democrat. >> but i'm just saying what has been the role of racial dog whistles. how do we think about tough on crime, welfare reform. all of these are ways in which you appeal to grievance and resentment and hatred. in some ways, that element of the republican party has metastasized and overwhelmed the party. i'm thinking of faulkner here, chuck, the past is never past is not even dead. anglo-saxonism has always been a part -- in the bloodstream of american politics. think about late 19th century foreign policy and domestic policy. anglo-saxon is almost everywhere. we have to root it out. we can't dance with it, try to reconcile ourselves with it. we have to banish it once and for all. >> anna palmer, it wasn't that long ago that the majority of the republican party was agreeing to essentially kick steve king out of congress. we're not there anymore. do you think leadership can successfully eradicate this fringe? >> i think it's going to be extreme

wallace putting -- pushing on the johnson administration to take a stronger stance on law and order. fighting crime is the theme of the luncheon, and she is invited by the white house to attend because she has been an activist for civil rights in los angeles and washington, d.c. to try to do what we would think of as basic youth empowerment. how to empower local kids to feel that they actually have an opportunity and possibility, so she is putting her wealth by dance classes and training programs, and she has testified before congress about it. that is why she is invited to come. what she does it that is treated with such controversy is a couple of things. she said what we heard her say just now. people are in the streets. she brings the critique of vietnam. if you are asked to speak about subject eight, you do not challenge the first lady on subject b. that is one line she crossed. in the other line she crossed was the choreography of the day, and she had dropped before -- drop by before lady bird -- she stands up and stops him at the podium, and he seems fine with it, they have a c

we're seeing the core value of alabama voters of that stripe, the people who voted for george wallace, is that we are going to do what we want to do regardless of how much it hurts you or us. i was talking to my 90-year-old sister in birmingham today and she was saying somewhat ruefully that the attitude that we have seen over the years is that i'm not going to do what you tell me to do, even if it kills me. so that's what you're really looking at in the red state resistance in those core states. now, how does that affect those of us who live at least part of the time, as i do, in other parts of the country. let me talk about what i found in pennsylvania since my wife and i got back about ten days ago. we live in the pocono mountains, in the center of a triangle defined by new york city, philadelphia and the president's hometown of scranton. in this area, we are now experiencing the highest infection rate that we've had from covid since december. and that peak reflects the fact that we have now hit a red wall in pennsylvania. pennsylvania, as you know, went for trump in '16 and for bi

he did things like he said nice things about george wallace, like i welcome him to come in. he paid a visit to the founder of the white citizens' council of georgia which was sent a message to those people. at the same time he was secretly meeting with daddy king. he never knew martin luther king when he was, you know, he never met king, never took the trouble because that would of been super unpopular in his district for his assassination was literally celebrated in the bar outside lanes. but then i 1970 he's meeting secondly with daddy king, and on the last day of the campaign, his pilot who is this very eccentric jewish guy who would been one of the atlanta jews who helped underwrite the civil rights campaign, was very close to the king family and it introduced him to daddy can come and get sloan carter all over the state for free which was necessary for him to get elected. so carter says to you done so much for me, can i do anything for you? he said yes, in your inaugural address you can say the time for racial discrimination is over. he pulls out a pencil or two bytes i

that's when the infamous alabama governor, george wallace, gave a speech that might sound familiar to some viewers of fox news. he said, i believe the american people have been pushed around long enough and that they, like you and i, are fed up with the continuing trend toward a socialist state. we must not be misled by left wing incompetent news media that feed us a diet of fantasy telling us that we're bigots, racists and hate mongers. this isn't about the past. tucker is fanning the flames of a fire already burning. there's a new study of that that fear of the great replacement may have been a prime driver, including that replacement theory might help explain why such a high percentage of rioters hailed from counties with fast rising nonwhite populations. tucker carlson is playing to his base. and that's your "reality check." >> i also think he's playing anything. i just think he is. he's telling us exactly what side he's chosen here, and i don't think it's an actat all at this point. >> it's not about the money, it's about the money? you say it isn't about race, it's often about r

what i call moral intelligence, and he really brought home for the jury what it felt like to watch george floyd die. that was the intent of calling witnesses like him. >> david, today i was watching when you told nicolle wallace on msnbc that the prosecution is making mistakes. what mistakes? >> there are a series of mistakes, but i can summarize them by saying this, you never want to create a david and goliath theme in a courtroom, unless you're david. for example, you have a large trial team you never have more than two lawyers sitting at counsel table. it looks like you're teaming up on someone who's only represented by one attorney, and the rule's kind of simple, if you cheat on your homework, you don't tell your teacher. you keep that to yourself. in addition to that, the prosecution is overrelying on the ability to paint derek chauvin as though hoos a cowboy who wasn't following policies that were put in place by the minneapolis police department. >> every day of this trial you've said chauvin, if he wants to beat this rap, he has to testify. why? what could he and only he accomplis

you heard in your introduction chris wallace saying that may 25th was a key date on this. a lot of democrats and some republicans have laid out the one-year anniversary of george floyd's killing as the day that they would like to have progress made on this issue. it's unclear whether things are going to move at that pace but congresswoman karen bass, the leading democrat on this, has said right now negotiations have been informal. to make them formal, which she thinks could happen soon, that requires the blessing of leadership. she has said she believes that senator scott is doing this with the support of republican leadership. she believes that speaker pelosi and others have also been supportive of this. it's a point of moving these negotiations to a more formal space to get them into the next place. at the same time, this is an issue we're going to hear about when president biden addresses congress next week. this is really going to stay on the forefront. >> ali vitali, good to see you. >>> president biden heads to capitol hill this week with a new solid job approval rat
