he warned lawmakers not to repeat history by allowing political lynching against him without due process. he pointed to examples of racial injustice in the state history while drawing comparisons to the sexual assault allegations. he compared himself to african-american during the jim crow era who were lynched because of allegations without proof. told lawmakers he they treat his case will show whether or not the state has changed. >> we have to decide who we are. i'm happy to be just one representative example of what whether or not we're going to rise for better angel of our nature or go back down a very dark, political road where 50 years ago, fingers have been pointed to me in the same way, it will be a very different outcome. >> reporter: at the end of the five minute speech, lawmakers said there was an awkward silence. the chairman of the black caucus he didn't have problem with his fairfax markets. constituents are concerned that fairfax is being treated unfairly because of his race. one republican leader said fairfax speech was the worst most disgusting type of rhetoric, particul

there was a lynching attempt on him which he is survived by just basically running away. so you know, he was an interesting character. the difference between him and some of the other characters in the book is can't get into it too much in depth but he kind of ran away from his blackness in ways others didn't. and then of course the two may be a little more well known are annie malone who started the first eight black hair brand and she employed a woman named sarah who went on to become madame cj walker another big brand. and i don't know if folks are familiar with black wall street but he basically built black wall street. stev.. >> at the time and what kind of efforts did you make what type of materials did you have to locate to reincarnate these amazing people? most of them left some sort of biographical document but they were not memoirs. so that became the source material and probably six pages. and then to combine the characters in the one book and one of the things that i did that you suggested was have a report around it with the really rich picture what was going

fairfax compared himself to lynching victims. >>e allow for political lynchings without any due process, any facts, any evidence being heard that i think we do a disservice. >> you're going to hear more of senate floor, he and we're going to have reaction to what some are calling shocking comments. > some of you under a high wind warning. wind gusts approaching 40 miles per hour. that's leading to a storm team 4 ather alert. >> i'm darcy spencer live outside the chipotle restaurant inar the university of maryland. you can see the is out the door. they're havingra a fund-iser here. i'll tell you what it's all t, coming up in a live report. >>> news4 begins with a storm team 4 weather alert. >> good evening. i'm erika gonzales. you are looking at the flag waving outside our studios here in northwest d.c.dv a windory in effect for our entire region. as storm team 4 meteorologist somara shows us. >> things are changing fast.t just in the l five minutes, we saw that wind shift from the south to the west. and now we'reoing to start to

that says let's pull together where you could pull the string and you lynch hitler and hang him from a tree. there is a range of opinions about hitler and a range of images of him but he remains a key figure in our popular culture. the poster art from wartime i think is graphically fascinating but also the messages are fascinating. what you see here in a poster like this on with a dagger going through the bible is -ism being portrayed as an enemy of christianity or -ism would deliver us from evil portrayed esso as an enemy of children and american values. what you don't see is is him as an enemy of european jews. the key here is to understand americans go to war to fight fascism , to defeat germany , but not the message to rescue jews and the priority is never to rescue jews. that is an essential question we ask, why the rescue of jews didn't become a priority during wartime. one way to think about this is thefight two wars, a war against the allies and a war to destroy the jews. in response the allies decide to fight one war. they fight a war to defeat -ism but not a war to rescue j

point two, lynching was, in fact, an extra judicial -- lynchings were extra judicial murders. that is, vigilante injustice. these women are not seeking to have him at the end of a rope but rather in front of a committee or in front of some kind of investigatory body. and so the analogy with lynching is inaccurate and inappropriate. >> that was civil rights attorney, former naacp cornell brooks talking with me a short time ago. deborah katz, the attorney for vanessa tyson, accusing justin fairfax of sexual assault tweeted this not too long ago, that they've received numerous press inquiries for his comments today. they referred reporters to the statement they issued on friday which essentially says that they want the opportunity for vanessa tyson to tell her story publicly and a nonpartisan forum. nonetheless it shows they are paying attention to what the lieutenant governor said today. >>> terrence howard is speaking out after the arrest of his television son, jussie smollett, about fans who say he shouldn't be supporting his co-star after an alleged hate crime hoax. when i ke

there have been calls for the lieutenant governor to step down after two women publicly accused him of sexual assault. fairfax continues to defend himself and denies the claims. >> i have heard much about anti- lynching. on the floor this very senate. people were not given any due process whatsoever. we grew that. >> one of his accusers say he her when they were students at duke university 19 years ago. the other says he assaulted her in a boston hotel room during the dnc. fairfax says police should continue the investigation into the charges. >>> whiteout conditions contributed to a massive pileup involving 100 cars. this happened yesterday on interstate 41 in wisconsin. it is not clear exactly what caused the initial crash. one person died and at least 38 people were hurt. most of them sustained quite a bit of damage. >>> we are watching our commute. had we look? >> we look okay. traffic is doing okay. we are going to start off with the commute, the gilroy commute i am in first re we go. guilfo jose, traffic is moving along well. no problems in morgan hill. getting to the valley shou

point two, lynching was in fact an extra judicial -- lynchings were extrajudicial murders, vigilante justice. these women are not seeking to have him at the end of a rope but in front of a committee or investigatory body. the analogy with lynching is inaccurate and inappropriate. the lieutenant governor can call for due process, that doesn't surprise me as a lawyer. he can even call for -- and should call for the presumption of innocence. that is certainly what lawyers do and that's certainly what americans expect. but to make the analogy with lynching is unfortunate. it's inaccurate. it's inappropriate. it was not right when canclaren did it nearly 30 years ago. i don't believe it's right today. >> let's talk about what type of due process justin fairfax should be afforded. basically everybody is calling for an investigation. there appears to be different interpretations of what an investigation is in this particular case. he's said he's opposed to the general assembly investigating this. he's even raised questions about a criminal investigation in either of the two states. he's ask

we're talking about a klan robe and what it represents, terrorism, lynchings and for him to one day say yes about the picture even though he didn't say whether he was in the robe or black face, he was clearly comfortable with saying that he was responsible for the picture. then the next day saying no, i wasn't responsible, i wasn't in the picture, i didn't even see it but i did do black face to michael jackson. so how can he now come back and atone and do nick when he has one, flipped his own story and secondly says i'm comfortable with black facing. this is not a guy who is trying to act like he's trying to heal or bring anything together. he seems to be trying to do whatever he can to remove any blame from himself. any of us that have said anything wrong have said we said wrong we're sorry and those are words and a lot of it may be street or locker talk. this is not locker talk, this is your yearbook, not your scrapbook at home with mommy and this is a statement how he made and i don't see how he can get around it. the teaching moment is to say i'm resigning and i'll go around and tal

lynching bill, i urge you to pay attention. even that could have helped. what's the fallout from this? >> think that's right. you see from him as well as kamala harris who used a very similar language, this idea of an attempted modern day lynching, you see them now essentially saying they don't really want to comment at this point until all the facts of this case are known. you definitely had lots of democrats basically come out and take jussie smollett's side of the case without saying, you know, this was an alleged or this is reported to have happened. and part of it is they are in this kind of i think environment where it's expected that people kind of come out and rush to judgment. certainly if you think about what the narrative around this was, the narrative of being that this was basically prompted by people who were trump supporters, it was meant to accepted a message to this gay black famous man, that are this was maga country, yeah, i think they played into that narrative. and i think they're going to have to learn from this. i mean, remember, at

. >> for example, my client still stands convicted a merrill lynch executive of perjury and obstruction of justice, two separate defenses for expressing his personal understanding of a telephone call he did not even participate in after mister wiseman instructed him in front of the grand jury to share that personal understanding whether it was accurate or not. if it doesn't have to be accurate then how can it be perjury and how can your personal understanding be perjury? that makes no sense whatsoever that he has two felony convictions based on that thanks to mister wiseman. mark: he couldn't get it reversed and mister wiseman knows that so he takes an old play from the flava to say i have the president of the united states what is your personal opinion about comay? and they find a trick contradictory piece of evidence although the president cannot be held for obstruction of justice that is abundantly clear but they will write a report and only give one side. this is what i want to ask you. they could go to the courtroom to keep their mouth shut. so the report is supposed to be confiden

and putting a noose around his neck in a mock lynching. either way, don, this story doesn't end well. >> both scenarios are awful and people just want answers at this point. it's all anyone is talking about, and it doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. nick watt, thank you. i appreciate your time. >>> while we witness the white house almost dally p.r., we're now getting a clear look at their legal strategy. how it's shifted from cooperation to relentless attacks. that's next. take prilosec otc and take control of heartburn. so you don't have to stash antacids here... here... or, here. kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. you may be learning about, medicare and supplemental insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything ...only about 80% of your part b medicare costs. a medicare supplement insurance plan may help cover some of the rest. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company might be the right choice for yo

they assumed that he must be telling the truth, by definition, they smeared anyone who doubted him. they called him a hero. as is the treatment that marginalized people received? hardly. smollett is an powerless, far from it. his power lies in pretending that he has no power, in fact jussie smollett and his promoters are the aggressors in the story. they launched a cuckolded campaign of slander against the entire group of people who are far less wealth and far less cultural influence than they have. if there is a biased crime here, they committed it. will anybody be held accountable for this? don't bet on that. i'll sharpen, she had an awful to story to tell. he said she had been viciously by a group of racist white man and left in a garbage bag. she was covered in with racial slurs scrawled on her body. the case dominated headlines across the country for more than a year, it bitterly divided new york city along catholic nice to make lines people hated each other. it was all a lie. after conducting hundreds of interviews, the grand jury declared the story fraudulent, none of it actu

now raising eyebrows in an impromptu senate floor speech comparing himself to lynching victims. watch. >> i have heard much about antilynching, on the floor of this very senate. the people were not given any due process whatsoever and we remove that. we talk about hundreds, at least 100 lynchings that have happened in the commonwealth of virginia under those very same hospices. and it we stand here in a rush to judgment with nothing but accusations, and no facts. and we decide that we are willing to do the same thing. >> kennedy: the republican majority leader in the virginia house of dallas done like delegates blasting your mark saying it's the most disgusting type of rhetoric he could have invoked. but the democratic character of the black caucus says he's heard simulating language from his constituents. his remarks come as they got to hold hearings. one of his accusers, meredith watson, issued a statement through her lawyer saying she would probably testify against fairfax. this is getting messier, but i understand where justin fairfax is coming from. in that the two men who

they assumed that he must be telling the truth, by definition, they smeared anyone who doubted him. they called him a hero. is the treatment that marginalized people received? no, hardly. smollett isn't powerless, farin from it. his power lies in pretending that he has no power, in fact jussie smollett and his promoters are the aggressors in the story. they launched a calculated campaign of slander against the entire group of people who have far less wealth and far less cultural influence than they have. if there is a biased crime here, they committed it. will anybody be heldd accountabe for this? don't bet on that. in 1987 al sharpton introduced the media to a young women, tawana brawley, she had an awful story to tell. she said she had been viciously raped by a group of racist white man and left in a garbage bag. she was covered in feces with racial slurs scrawled on her body. the case dominated headlines across the country for more thad a year, it bitterly divided new york city along ethnic lines lines, people hated each other. it was all a lie. after conducting hundreds of inter

this is terrorism and lynching and murder and bloodshed when you look at it. you can't equate whether should should apologize wore words they used with standing there with someone in a robe, in an outfit of the kkk. that's an intentional expression and that's a bar that we must nationally say that you cannot continue to serve and you can grow and serve and you can be an instrument of reconciliation but you have to pay a price for it. >> we're going to talk more, about the crisis that the lieutenant governor is in. governors understand if they live by the high land stards and the lieutenant governor story continues as it were, there just may be a republican governor in the state of virginia when the 2020 election comes around. >> i think this next story has its own complexities, because while in the first two stories that we discussed both men admit to what they did, we have a situation where two people have two very completely different versions of what happened. he is accused of sexual assault. we will deal with that issue next on "morning joe." n "mornin" i

smollett has claim that the evidence that he paid two brother a tottack him is wrong. evidence suggests that the check he wrote to one of them was for training. the check was dritten sixays before the alleged attack. the memo line talks about a nutrition program. >>> this morning, a reminder to hide valuables if you leave them in your car. >> d.c. police are on high alert after a rash of break-ins left some residents on-edge. justin finch is le at d.c. police headquarters with more. justin, good morning. >> good morning. that's right. all take notice. news 4 met with a family in upper northwest. theyad their minivan broken ,nto at the safeway, on connecticut avenight by chevy chase circle. they had a window smashed in. and the t daughters' backpacks were taken. police say this is part of a significant trend, they are noting across d.c., but specifically in upper northwest. about this time last year, they counted some 213 car break-ins. now, we're standing at 405. the mother of those two girls whoad their backpacks stolen, she has a message for leaves. >> first and fore

some of her statements in a public lynching. she should have been disqualified. it's difficult for republicans to say you need to clean up your house when your house is disaster. >> andrea mitchel pushed the vice president on that similar point. listen. >> what the president said about banning all muslims in 2015. >> well, look, the president instituted a travel ban for the security of the united states of america. we embrace the broad diversity of the american people. we embrace legal immigration, but the president will always put the safety and the security of the american people first. >> are you satisfied with that answer? >> no. i'm not. and the reality is the vice president and many of these republicans in the house and senate who are calling for her to resign, i should say, they lack the moral authority to do so again, because there have been many instances most recently within our own party and most of those individuals have stopped short of calling for those people who resign, and let's be honest here. the president of the united states is someone who ha

criticizing him he said yesterday in the a speech at the capital in virginia is like trying to lynch someone more than a century ago. watch this. >> i have heard much about antilynching on the floor of this very senate. where people were not given any due process whatsoever. yet, we stand here in a rush to judgment with nothing but accusations and no facts and we decide we are willing to do the same thing. >> tucker: it's really a lot like lynching. under normal circumstances anyone who said something like that would be laughed off the stage. but this is 2019 and the cult of victimhood is at its peak and so it might actually work. same feminist groups and politicians who hounded brett kavanaugh for weeks have barely said anything about fairfax at all now that he has compared them to a lynch mob they won't say anything. you watch. well, we warned you last week on this program that jussie smollett did not invent hate crimes. in the past few years they have actually become alarmingly common. the overwhelming hate crimes received national attention have turned out to be false. at least t

fears and i'm sure he's going to use this to his full advantage but so far it hasn't quite worked for him what you stated delis claiming that pakistan will target militants stop go after their own government within pakistan but turn a blind eye essentially to attacks externally we're talking essentially kashmir and india. you know i think india and pakistan have a very long history of supporting each other's groups just like india have claims against pakistan the pakistanis old claims against india especially by involvement in baluchistan west of pakistan so these claims for both countries my village to me at the end of the day they are at war. if it not might not be convention lords and intelligence will and it's. both sides have claims that whether you verify them or not. well thank you for your time this are a story you are sure to be delving further into over the next couple of days military more meetings being taking place between the u.s. president on the north korean leader in the vietnamese capital the two made an appearance number of hours ago with the body language coming in fro

and don't answer if someone steals i'm not buying foreign currencies people who got to go and beat him up. so connecting it with what's up is a bit of it problematic but yes it has become a considerable problem for the law enforcement officials in india because there's been a spirit of content reviews that have not been shocking to that of what is needed from other countries or what have become problematic of course in india i want to show you this headline from the a.f.p. this is from last year stop step by fake news social media fielding chen's shock india. i'm going to play you a little clip from a lady who knows the people who actually killed and it describes what happened to them the village small wilting bamboo sticks machetes of routes friends are driving back from a day in the country two innocent people killed due to something that was spent on whatsapp what does the friend of the people who were killed have to say about what could be done how innocent. the other hand yes we will see how the news is spreading through technology and what the words have message and people and pe

nobody called him, tucker except for one group nationally. two groups if you include my radio show, fox & friends. nobody else called all day long. >> tucker: so this is self-serving but i have got to be honest. if they got rid of the few independent voices in media and you are one and i am one commit we just be the course with the same tone and that's what they want. trust me. thank you very much. >> howie: thank you. too much insanity, we've got to go. great to see you. up next, something we never thought you would say, we are transgender athletes becoming dominant in women's sports. is this a good thing for girls? here is more after the break. biopharmaceutical researchers. driven each day to pursue life-changing cures... in a country built on fostering innovation. here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... and a new therapy that gives the blind a working gene so they can see again. because it's not just about the next breakthrough... it's all the ones after that. woi felt completely he

feeling on potential smokey times general all the information still coming out on the withholding told him if he comes out on the record sources it goes without saying that any victim of a hate crime deserves every bit of sympathy and more including small it if he's story passes the test of a police investigation but progressive america seems to be living out the concept of presumptuous guilt trigger happy and hell bent on bashing arguably the single most hated person in america donald trump. political commentator steve malzberg told us the story shows that the president's critics season every possible on verified claim to denounce and. pin that on donald trump anyway saying that he's created this atmosphere where gays aren't welcome and blacks aren't welcome in and you know it minorities are welcome so the whole thing is hatred of donald trump so these people are to range and they don't wait for the facts they didn't wait to see where these people charged was he really attacked what did they really say they just did it for any opportunity to turn it into donald trump's fault. all right th

republicans are highly conscious about the lynch mob. they're more sensitive to the issues. i would dig in. >> jon: the democrats are castigating this guy. i have heard one who said maybe he should stay in office. >> it is not a matter of whether governor northam resigns and steps down, it is when. tick tok. the pressure is growing. you'll see protests outside the state capitol and his home. he needs to step aside. allow the lieutenant governor to become governor, the second african-american governor of virginia, the fourth in our nation's history. allow him to have a discussion about race and governor northam can leave office, become a doctor again, and do public good to try to make amends for this terrible chapter in virginia's history. that's what he should do. >> i think. it's important to not allow this to be treated as some kind of terrible mistake from a large number of years ago that he has handled in that pitiful manner. that's true. let's remember that there is hypocrisy here, too. this guy who behaved in this disgusting manner

some lawmakers who rushed to defend him are facing criticism for saying they are going to wait until the investigation is over to comment. when twitter user says there are more facts now than before. she reserve judgment but pounced on it hours after the alleged attack happen. the other side of the story is if this is a hoax how is any supposed to know but nancy pelosi deleted tweet supporting him and saying she's going to comment on the investigation and that is all you can do. rob: a real story that came out of that you know is a hoax, that really happened. they are going to give out weed? >> some celebrities acting funny at the oscars this might be why. the oscar gift bag will include pot infused products including edible skincare products and a vip membership to a cannabis from the social club. one says people getting locked up for cannabis yet hollywood gets a gift tax and says self progressives and trendy. it is california. jillian: a bethel debate going on, you and i are on one side and you are on the opposite side. >> the debate of how many bath towels you should have as a co
