here's the exchange between kevin gough and the judge about the presence of jesse jackson. >> jesse jackson, of course. >> he is your honor, i think, we all know an icon in the civil rights movement. not just a witness to it, the personification of it. and in other circumstances i think everybody would be happy to have a their picture taken and get an autograph. in the context of this trial we object to his presence in the courtroom. >> i find that objectionable from the court's stand point. i have said over and over and over in this trial that i am attempting to ensure that in this courtroom that the defendants receive a fair trial and i will continue to do that. >> reporter: at one point, the attorney said something to the effect of how many black pastors does the arbery family have? reverend raphael warnock the senator from georgia be here next. the judge also described some of his comments about reprehensible. it's been going on now for a couple of days. the activists who support the arbery family said they're going to invite 100 black pastors to come here during the course of this week

that after one of the defense attorneys complained about the presence of the reverend jesse jackson -- or i should say the reverends jesse jackson and al sharpton, claiming black pastors would influence a near all-white jury. okay, ahmaud arbery's mother speaking out. >> when ahmaud was killed on the 23rd of february, the family had some of the darkest times of our lives. we asked questions. we got no answers. we submitted emails with no reply back. but in the midst of all that, i parade. i asked the lord to somehow tell me what happened. >> so from georgia now to kenosha, wisconsin. we're on verdict watch there. it continues in the trial of kyle rittenhouse. the jury concluded its third day of deliberations tonight. they're due back today, tomorrow. the judge apparently surprised when one of the jurors asked whether she could take the jury instructions home with her. the judge allowed it. rittenhouse, who has become a hero to some on the right, getting what sounded like a job offer today. >> he is not guilty. he deserves a not guilty verdict, and i sure hope he gets it. because you k

this is not an attack on jesse jackson or al sharpton or me. the most exciting thing is black and white and brown people marching together. we led a march and a protest outside. we don't need to make it about -- this lawyer doesn't have a case. so he wants to make preachers the issue. and i'm not taking the bait. first of all, i'm not a black pastor. i'm a pastor. but what he said is a godsend in some ways for america. because it exposes a way of thinking. blackness means intimidation. blackness means intimidation. and he wants to -- and so by saying that and opening his mouth, he exposes that he sees blackness as a threat. and so these men that killed ahmaud, a young electrician that just wanted to give his mama and daddy the kind of house they dreamed of, they were right to do what they did because when they saw his blackness, they saw someone who had to have done something. they saw intimidation. no, this is the deep south. notice he did not say pastor. he said black pastors. what we must focus on is why would he specifically use blackness i

your honor, i would submit, with all respect to the reverend jesse jackson, that this is no different than bringing in police officers or uniformed prison guards in a small town, where a young black man has been accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer or corrections officer. >> reporter: this, a recurring issue for william "roddie" bryan's defense attorney, where race has been front and center. jackson arrived at court monday morning after gough said this thursday. >> we don't want any more black pastors coming in here or other jesse jackson, whoever was in here earlier this week, sitting with the victim's family, trying to influence the jury in this case. a bunch of folks came here dressed like colonel sanders with white masks in the back, that would be -- >> reporter: he was actually referencing the reverend al sharpton, who was in the courtroom on wednesday to support arbery's family. gough apologized to the court on friday but brought up the issue again monday. the judge rebuked the defense attorney. >> now with individual members -- or individuals coming into the courtroo

jesse jackson wasn't there before. but now, he's coming. so are 100 other pastors. we don't have black and white pastors. you don't say black police and white police, right? we have to get away from that. we don't want to play to it. if you loic this show, you likely know the level of -- practiced by kevin guff. he came on and failed to explain what his client was doing recording arbery's death in the first place. he embarrassed his own client. listen to this. in the police report, the mcmichaels referred to a roddey. i'm assuming that was you, yes? >> hold on, chris. >> mr. bryant, how did you come to be in the car videotaping that day? >> okay. we're not going there. >> you don't want to talk about that, either? all right. >> he didn't play the part where he was saying his client's too stupid to answer questions for himself. that's who you're dealing with. the reason this lawyer speaking to black pastors resonates is because it's what this trial speaks about. the fear of defendants. why else did they chase this guy jogging? you don't think it had anything to do wi

we don't want any more black pastors coming in here or jesse jackson whoever was in here earlier this week sitting with the victim's family, trying to influence the jury in this case. >> the honorable jesse jackson is here yet again in the back of the courtroom. >> there is -- was an individual walking about in the foyer outside the courtroom earlier today with a black sweatshirt saying "i support black pastors." >> what decade is this? here is how the reverend al sharpton responded to that today at an event outside the courthouse attended by hundreds of pastors in support of the arbery family. >> no more can you lock us out. because wherever you are, god is already there. so he wanted to know why we were there last week, i'm here this week with the same bible, the same god for the same parents, and we going to keep coming until we get justice. >> i'm joined now by the reverend al sharpton, host of "politicsnation" on msnbc and president of the national action network. and rev, what a world in which a lawyer thinks it's a good solid argument to say we don't want any more black pastors

it came one day after he took issue of civil icon jesse jackson in court with the arbery family. and days after a similar appearance from reverend al sharpton. >> we filed a motion to certain guests raising issue with the trial. >> reporter: ryan young, cnn, brunswick, georgia. >> attorney paige pate is here. how did the attorney do in his case, and what is the defense trying to do talking about black pastors? we'll talk about that next. and that's just basic wavy guy maintenance, right? next up, carvana. oh, boy. carvana just doesn't seem to understand how the test drive works. they give their customers seven days. and if they don't like it, they give 'em their money back. wait, they take the car back? that's crazy! what if it was driven by like a zookeeper? or a mud wrestler? or a guy who's on the outs with the missus and he just needs a place to sleep for seven days? yeah.

the lead defense attorney made an issue of jesse jackson's presence in the courtroom. let's listen to this exchange between him and the judge in the case. >> your honor, i would submit with all respect to the reverend jesse jackson that this is no different than bringing in police officers or uniformed prison guards in a small town where a young black man has been accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer or corrections officer. >> then we get into what we have now with individuals coming into the courtroom. i will say that is directly in response, mr. gough, to statements you made, which i find reprehensible. i'm not granting a mistrial at this point based on these arguments that are being made. >> is this issue, you think, going to affect this case? >> i don't think it's going to affect this case. but it also brings to the fact that this is about race. you have a defense attorney saying no black pastor should be coming here in support. not pastors in general but black pastors. that shows you the level of race involvement in this particular case on the defense s

. >> by the way, jesse jackson wasn't there. you have been there though. i guess he confused the two of you, and this is how he tried to clean it up. >> my statements yesterday were wrong. i will file up with a more specific motion on monday. my apologies to anyone who might have been inadvertently been offended. >> whether it was initial statement or even his quote/unquote apology, what does this either reveal to you or cement to you? >> well, this is not peculiar if you come from the south. we've heard this before. this is a trope, and whether it's myself or jesse jackson, we shouldn't even take this personal. it's not about us. this is about something much deeper. first of all, he doesn't have a case, so he's trying to do whatever he can because his own clients filmed themselves k killing someone else, and think about that. you have people who have killed people and you're saying black pastors are intimidating. lastly, he said black pastors are intimidating. he's connecting blackness to intimidation, and that is the crux of t

we don't want any more black pastors coming in here, jesse jackson, whoever it was. how can you tell, right? we don't want any more black pastors. the judge responded, quote, everybody complied with this court's rulings on sitting in this courtroom and listening to the evidence. i don't hear a motion, and i will tell you this, i am not going to blanketly exclude members of the public from this courtroom, let alone have some sort of no black pastors rule as the defense attorney would ask the judge to enforce. joining us now is the reverend al sharpton, he's president of national action network, of kour, the host of msnbc's "politicsnation." reverend sharpton, thanks for making time to be here tonight. >> thank you, rachel. >> what should we understand about the dynamic at work here? i think the soundbite itself, there are cameras in the courtroom. the soundbite itself from that defense attorney has more than gone viral, has rocketed around the country. i think a lot of people are just jaws dropped at it. can you give us context and tell us what's going on here, what l

he said black pastors and cited reverend jesse jackson. african-american pastors have a history of being supportive of the family. in fact, many pastors are coming to the courthouse today to have a prayer vigil. but basically it is to support this family. this is a tragedy. i said yesterday i certainly understand what the family is going through, losing a father what i was 10 years old and grandmother at 16, both assassinated. but that is traditional in the african-american community. >> you mentioned you will be there for the prayer vigil. it is being called the wall of prayer. it will happen in front of the glynn county courthouse today. it will be you, it will be many, many pastors, the arbery family. what's the message that you are hoping to relay? . >> the message is that -- the hope is that the jury will do the right thing. first of all, the message is lifting up this family. you cannot lose sight of that. this is really about support. this family knowing they are being attacked by some of the things that have been said from what i u

and then right next to her, sitting there comforting her was the reverend jesse jackson, and that's when the defense objected. here is some of the exchange between kevin gauff, one of the defense attorneys, and judge timothy walmsley. >> your honor, i would submit with all respect to the reverend jesse jackson, this is it different than bringing informe prison guards in a small town where a young black man has been accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer or corrections officer. >> we then start getting into what we have now, with individual members -- or individuals coming into the courtroom. i will say that is directly in response, mr. gauff, to statements you made, which i find reprehensible. and not granting a mistrial at this point based on these arguments that are being made. >> reporter: so the judge essentially saying there, you're the one that created the problem, mr. gauff, you're the one now that is going to have to live with this problem. meanwhile, we do expect the medical examiner today and that could be some very graphic testimony. erica and jim? >> we heard some vo

he called him jesse jackson. and then he said the actual jesse jackson is sitting in court and thought he could influence the jury. the judge flatly rejected that claim and reprimanded. go. >> jesse jackson, i think, is still here. i believe we all know an icon, not just a witness. the personification. in other circumstances, i think people would be happy to have their picture taken, but in honor of this trial, we find his presence welcoming in the courtroom. >> i object that from the court's standpoint. i have said over and over and over in this trial that i am attempting to ensure that in this courtroom that the defendants receive a fair trial, and i will continue to do that. >> the judge in the case also called the attorney's comments reprehensible. >>> and still ahead, steve bannon defiant after his first surrender on contempt of congress charges. his case leading to new questions about the january 6 committee's strategy. >>> later, dangerous debris. a russian missile test launches space junk into orbit, putt

i certainly don't mean to suggest that al sharpton or jesse jackson or any other pastor belong to a mob, but at the same time we are talking about organized behavior by whoever outside the courthouse leading up to this case. we have all these community leaders fearful that the city's going to burn down. still third parties are influencing this case. they've been doing it from the gallery in this courtroom. they've been doing it outside. this is why a public lynching looks like in the 21st century with all due respect. they don't have to have 10,000 people outside. they don't have to have 100,000 people outside. perception is reality. just because they haven't put a gallery up -- they haven't put a podium up outside with a mean that this isn't a trial despite the best efforts of this court. this isn't a trial that's been infected by mob violence of a woke left mob. >> we've now got people claiming to be violent driving around the courthouse with coffins them with our clients' names on them with semi-or fully automatic weapons. this is no longer a figurative mob. this is a literal mob. >>

jesse jackson wasn't there before, but now he's coming. so are around 100 other pastors. we don't have black and white pass sors. you know, you don't say black police, white police, right? we've got to get away from that. we don't want to play to it. if you watch this show, you likely know the level of lawyering practiced by kevin gul he embarrassed his own client. listen to this. >> in the police report, the mcmichael's referred to a roddie. i'm assuming that was you, yes? >> hold on, chris. >> mr. brian, how did you come to be in the car videotaping that day? you don't want to talk about that either? all right. >> we didn't play the part where he was like, basically saying his client is too student to answer any of these answer these questions for himself. the reason this lawyer saying something about black pastors resonates is because it speaks to what this trial is all about, the fear of blackness for the defendants. why else did they decide to chase this guy jogging through there? you don't think it had anything to do with the fact he was black? it's not a bias speci

>> the judge denied the defense's request to remove the reverend jesse jackson from the courtroom. late this afternoon the state rested the case against the three men, now comes the defense's turn. meanwhile in kenosha wisconsin the jury in the case had been deliberating since this morning. rittenhouse shot and killed 36-year-old joseph rosenbaum and 26-year-old anthony huber and shot gaige grosskreutz and rittenhouse said he was a tourist and denied the interaction with rosenbaum that set into action the chain of events that night in august of last year. since then rittenhouse is a right wing hero. mark and patricia, the st. louis couple pardoned by donald trump when president for aiming guns at black lives matter protesters, well, they've showed up the past two days to support rittenhouse. they claimed that the teenager who mind you shot and killed two people is the real victim. the victim of cancel culture. and another weird twist, rittenhouse actually participated in choosing the final 12 men and women who will decide his fate by pulling numbers from a tumbler like a game show.

we don't want anymore black pastors coming in here or jesse jackson, whoever was in here earlier this week, setting with the victim's family trying to influence the jury. >> i know there is a lot of reporting on the statement made by kevin goff yesterday in court about wanting no more black pastors. that statement was totally asinine, ridiculous. and i think that kevin has realized that in the heat of what has happened in court and, you know, having concerns that this jury could be influenced by various things, that he said that and i think that he is trying to walk that back this morning. but in no way do we want to exclude anybody from this process. >> reporter: we expect to see more influential pastors, including jesse jackson who has not been in court yet, in the coming days. >> liz mclaughlin, you can't make some things up. thank you so much for your reporting. >>> coming up, crying in the courtroom. a ring tone featuring anthem and inappropriate comments about asian food, the highly scrutinized kylerittenhouse trial is wrapping up. g up are you tired of clean clothes that just d

. >> meanwhile, outside the courtroom pastors al sharpton, jesse jackson, jamal bryant, martin luther king iii and attorneys ben crump and lee merritt joined the arbery family for a prayer vigil, an event organized by the reverend al sharpton, joining a march afterwards to honor arbery. earlier kevin goff, attorney for william "roddie" bryan making a motion to keep jesse jackson out of the courtroom. the judge once again denied the motion and goff called for a mistrial after objecting to this question from the state. >> do you believe that someone stealing is deserving of death penalty? >> relevance, your honor. >> the mistrial request was denied, but the judge admonished the prosecutor and instructed the jury to disregard the question. by the end of the day, the defense rested their case. >> with that understanding, we rest. >> nothing in rebuttal. >> ahmaud arbery's mother sounded hopeful after court ended for the day. i want to remind you that there were 74 days that we went without an arrest. things happen and now we're here and i am very confident that we will get a guilty verdic

defense attorney kevin gough objecting to reverend jesse jackson's presence in the gallery. >> how many pastors does the arbery family have? we had the reverend al sharpton here earlier last week. which pastor is next? is raphael warnock gonna to be the next person appearing this afternoon? we don't know. >> with all due respect, your honor, the seats in the public gallery of a courtroom are not like courtside seats at a lakers game. >> trevor: all right, first of all, of course this trial is not like a lakers game. the jury has 11 white people and one black guy. that's basically the opposite of any basketball team. and, secondly, i'm not saying this guy is racist, but when you're representing a guy who killed a black man just for jogging in the wrong neighborhood, it's not a great look to be pointing into the gallery and going, "hey, this black guy doesn't belong here. we should do something about that! come on,s jasper, you want to do that again?" and, thirdly, black pastors have been supporting families in need from the beginning of time. why are they shocked by this? whether it's th

and i want to thank, if he is watching, reverend jesse jackson. who despite his illness, came down and sat in that courtroom, and this is the fight of black activists, so we can unite and beat the lynch mob that killed our men. and though i never say this often, i must say, we want to thank the prosecutors. [applause] they stood and fought for this family. [applause] tomorrow, in all of our joy today, there will be an empty chair at wanda's table. ahmaud will not be at thanksgiving, tomorrow. but she can look at that chair and say to him, i fought a good fight. we cannot fill that chair, but we can say that you are a mother above all mothers. you fought for your son. you fought for yours, marcus, and even though it will be a somber and solemn thanksgiving, you can thank god that you did not let your boy down. >> ben and i had a difficult job to do when showing up to this court house and turning the case over to the prosecutor. we want to, as attorneys and advocates, we want to exercise control over something this important, and it was difficult to

he cited the presence of the reverend jesse jackson. >> i would submit with all respect, reverend jesse jackson, that this is no different than bringing in police officers or uniformed prison guards in a small town where young black man has been accused of assaulting a law-enforcement officer or corrections officer. amy: and students at howard university have reached a deal that will bring an end to protests at one of the nation's preeminent historically black universities. since october 12, students have been occupying howard's blackburn university center to demand better campus housing amid reports of toxic mold, pests, and crumbling infrastructure in campus dormitories. the students were also demanding better representation and more transparency from howard administrators. an attorney for the students said that while details of the agreement remain confidential, protesters largely accomplished their objectives. and those are some of the headlines this is democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. when we come back, afghanistan is facing the world's worst humanitarian

your honor, i would submit, with all respect to the reverend jesse jackson, that this is no different than bringing in uniformed officers or prison guards in a small town where a young black man has been accuse assaulting a law enforcement officer or corrections officer. there is no reason for these prominent icons in the civil rights movement to be here. >> the judge, i should say, responded and said that he found the attorney's comments reprehensible. joining me now, attorney chris stuart. he respected wanda cooper-jones early, arbery's mother. he is in close contact with her. she has become a very close friend of yours. good to have you back with us today. there's been so much focus on these comments from the defense attorney, on the judge's reaction, which has been very clear and strong, at each moment. so i'm just curious, could you tell us in what instance would you imagine that a judge would rule that there would be any reason to keep people out of a courtroom, specifically members of the clergy or family members? >> there wouldn't be a reason unless someone was causing some ma

yesterday he complained about reverend jesse jackson. last week he was bothered by reverend al sharpton. what is he trying to accomplish here because even the judge, you know, took him to task, saying, you know, what are you doing here? it looks like you have ulterior motives. >> yeah, don. this judge has been incredibly patient with this argument. i'm very surprised. i've been in front of this judge before. he's known as a patient judge, a fair judge. but this motion has absolutely no legal merit to it. you cannot prevent someone from coming into a public courtroom if they're not making a disruption. now, it would be different if reverend jackson came in there and decided to make a speech or interrupt the witnesses or call out somebody's name, but that's not happened at all. he simply sat with the family just like reverend sharpton, and they are absolutely allowed to do that. so the idea that the judge is going to bar black pastors from the courtroom, it's ridiculous. so i don't understand the point of making that motion, and of course

jackson being in the courtroom. he and others like al sharpton have been there to support ahmaud's family. right? what do you have to say about those -- about gough's comments, his complaints? >> it's important that judge wamsley, the judge in the case, pointed out that it's become clear now that kevin gough, the attorney for roddie bryan, is clearly attempting to aggravate, to instigate a situation between the black community. so this is his design. and his goal is to get a mistrial. but i want to point out that since jury selection there have been 11 different motions filed against wanda cooper, who was quietly sitting in that courtroom. there's been motions filed against her for masks that were worn, for her whimpering in the courtroom, for people she sat with, and so at this point the men who murdered her son, they are allowing her attorneys to target and harass her, and it's really tragic. >> yeah. lee, thank you for coming on tonight. we would love to have the mother on whenever she is ready to come back on. t

>> he tried to clarify and for the record, reverend jesse jackson hasn't been here and the jury was not in court when this happened, but i can tell you when this happened yesterday, we all sort of looked at each other almost not believing what was going on. when you watches the other attorneys at the table they were unaware he was going to make the statement. and now you really see the fallout from this because it has been picking up steam as there's more talk of more protests next week and some of the attorneys are sitting next to him are trying to distance themselves away from this. take a listen to the man trying to apologize for what happened yesterday. >> if my statements yesterday were overly broad, i will follow up with a more specific motion on monday putting that and those concerns in the proper content. my apologies to anyone who might have been offended. >> reporter: imagine three people sitting up there each have their own defense attorney and one of the other attorneys stepped out during lunch and we were all shocked by this as well, he said he had no idea that that that st

jesse jackson was hospitalized monday after he fell and hit his head while visiting howard university in support of student protesters. jackson had been visiting with students at howard, one of the nation's preeminent historically black universities, who began a sit-in last month to protest terrible housing conditions including toxic mold, rodents, and roaches in campus dormitories. students took over howard's blackburn university center and have been camping out in tents since october 12. before his accident, jesse jackson reportedly secured a promise from howard administrators that students would not be expelled or suspended over their nonviolent protests. and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. we are broadcasting from glasgow and new york. i am any given joined by co-host juan gonzÁlez in new brunswick, new jersey. hi, juan. juan: hi, amy. welcome to all of our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. amy: we begin today in glasgow at the united nations climate summit. at the opening cerem

jackson who says he will be in that courtroom alongside the arbery family again today. joining us martin luther king iii who plans to be in court tomorrow. good to have you with us this morning. there has been so much discussion, and rightfully so, about the comments that the defense attorney, kevin gough has made as he continues to try to push to keep people out of that courtroom. for people not familiar with it, i want to play some of those moments. >> don't want anymore black pastors coming in here -- jesse jackson who was in here earlier this week, sitting with the victim's family trying to influence the jury in this case. if a bunch of people came in dressed like colonel sanders with white masks in the back. >> what we have now are individuals coming into the courtroom. i will say that is directly in response, mr. gough, to statements you made which i find reprehensible. the colonel sanders statement you made last week i would say is maybe something that has influenced what is going on here. >> why do you think it is that this attorney feels so uncomfortable with f
