staff sergeant acolino brunell was one of the officers beaten january 6th. months after, he testified to the january 6th committee, quote, my fellow officers were

punched, kicked, pushed, shoved, sprayed with chemical irtants and even blinded with eye-damaging lasers, by a violent mob that saw us law enforcement, dedicated to, ironically, protecting them as u.s. citizens as an impediment in their attempted insurrection. i, too, was particular krished by the rioters. could feel myself thinking, this is how i'm going to die. because of the injuries he sustained on january 6th, staff sergeant gunnel had to retire from the force. but in some ways, he's still testifying about that day. just yesterday, former staff sergeant gunnel had to testify about one of the capitol rioters who brutally attacked

him on january 6th. michael mackerel pleaded guilty last year to a felony for assaulting police officers. according to a court document, he wrapped his arm around the neck of a capitol police officer and threw the officer to the ground. he joins over 1300 others who have been charged for their role of violence. and with each passing day, more perpetrators are being arrested, including a conservative influencer, arrested this week. she allegedly helped steal a table from inside the capitol that was then used to assault police. last week, another was allege loady arrested for firing a pistol into the air. john banuelos was one of many. it's important to remember all of this. to remember how terrible and

traumatic january 6th was. because more than three years later, as we continue to watch this near continuous stream of arrests, connected to the violence on january 6th. this is how the republican party's presumptive nominee. the man who, let's not forget, incited that riot. this is you hohe decided to kick off a campaign speech this weekend in ohio. ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated january 6th hostages. ♪ oh, say can you see ♪ ♪ by the dawn's early light ♪ what so proudly we hailed ♪ ♪ at the twilight's last gleaming ♪ >> well, thank you very much. and you see the spirit from the

hostages. they have been treated terribly and unfairly. >> if you think to yourself, that nails on chalkboard rendition sounds a tad familiar. you'd be right. trump has played that rendition at multiple rallies. and it's not because trump thinks those are prodigies. his references to january 6th hostages are now a mane stage. ripped right from the pages of the authoritarian playbook. rise of authoritarianism. he points out that president trump's reference to january 6th martyrs, has some chilling echos of the past. before hitler came to power,

chief nazi prop gandist yo ceph goebbels worked hard to find a violent nazi who could be portrayed as a victim of the far left. he eventually found a dubious character called horst. musicians of martyrdom. and this is not the only fantastic. trump was riddled. language that professor schneider says summons up some of the fashionable historic context. here's some of what trump said about migrants at the southern border. >> they're in jail for years. if you're calling people. in some cases, they're not people in my opinion. but i'm not allowed to say that because the radical left says that's a terrible thing to say. they said, you have to vote against him. have you seen what they say about humanity?

these are bad -- these are animals. we have to stop it. >> trump's dehumanization of immigrants. the martyrdom of the january 6th hostages. these are the context schneider argues from the moment in that speech that set off alarm bells. a moment that trump threatened fhe loses in november, there's going to be a blood bath. here is exactly what he said. >> we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. and you're not going to be able to sell those. if i get elected. now, if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath. that's going to be the least of it. it's going to be a blood bath for the country. that will be the least of it. >> it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. that will be the least of it. that will be the least of it is important here. that part of the speech set off alarm bells. but the hand wringing began immediately.

what did trump really mean? was he talking about cars? or threatening violence. trump himself cleared it up in an interview with the british far right broadcaster, nigel farrage. >> blood bath talking about it's going to be a blood bath in the auto industry. this guy is going to all- electric cars and they're all made in china. >> ah, bloodbath in the auto industry. trump is saying, liberals are getting stirred up about nothing. i was talking about cars. but trump is calling for a bloodbath in front of people to honor bloodshed. people who have just sung with coup criminals. people with whom he implicitly promises he will pardon if they carry out another insurrection. and he's doing this in the fascist style of telling a big lie that confers martyrdom upon criminals who try to overthrow.

we should see trump for who he is. an aspiring fascist who likes. s and needs violence. end quote. joining us from yale university is dr. tim schneider. thank you for joining us. people have spent the last couple of days. he was just talking about the cars. i'm an economics reporter. we've not used that term "bloodbath" about cars. but you write, it's not just the context. it's not just whether he said that sentence about cars. it's everything? >> when he refers to the cars, he's then clearly switching gears. he is saying the cars will be the least of it. >> what they're doing is ripping it out. the whole context is the fascist history. trump's prior insurrection attempts. and the physical context.

just got people to sing along with the criminals of january 6th. that's the real context. >> you write those never mentioned he had just celebrated criminals. repeated the big lie. dehumanized people and followed fascist patterns. you lay out in your article, the pattern of that speech. all of that was done before he brought up cars for one sentence? and then went back to violence. >> before i came back here. i was talking to my daughter. and she said, with dictators, dad, you just have to listen to what they said. so much of this discussion, you have to listen to what the man says. you can look for excuses in good faith or bad faith. you look at what he's actually saying. >> you can decide you like the bloodshed. you can decide you're going to look away. but the actual context are those human beings around him, who have been asked to identify

by singing and standing with violent criminals who tried to overthrow our system. that's the context. >> there's something important here. you told us, we've got the term the big lie. or we applied this from work that you had done. donald trump is not acting like a normal politician who expects to win or is even trying to win. he doesn't need to win more votes. he just needs to be in the ballpark because he's laid the groundwork for you not believing that he would have lost the election. >> yeah. it's also important in this speech, if we're talking about context, that at least nine times, he himself invokes the big lie. >> correct. >> and in doing that, he embraces the people around him. and this reality. and it's not the number of votes, it's the feeling of having one that suggest go to count. that's why we understand the words of preparation for november insurrection. >> let's think about the terms we use these days is dog whistle.

what's the historical precedent for this? donald trump says things the rest of us can be hand-wringing about whether or not he meant automotive bloodbath. the point is, he's landing with the people to land. >> i think we also have the problem that our immediate impulse is to say, well, let's try to find an excuse for him. no, you california only beat this thing if you recognize what it is. >> how do you think we should handle this! and as you note. this is not weird. not new. but this concept of immigrants as animals or subhuman vermin, poisoning the nation. this is not brand new. what do you do? >> what do you do in the face

of this? >> yeah. first of all, cover the rallies. >> we're not covering the rallies well enough. susan wrote a nice piece. >> she thinks people should? >> yeah. >> she thinks people should go listen to them and watch them, painful though it may be be. >> take it all in. take it literally. think about it. report on it, rather than just doing the kind of distant analysis, finding the excuses. listen to the man. because as you say, his strategy is just get close enough to make some kind of a play. and if we've got six or seven months to explain to americans that this is the bloodbath candidate, that what he's traoeulging to do is get close enough to threaten violence. there are a lot of undecided folks out there. maybe not here in new york. who haven't thought this stuff through. but when they hear what will matter to him, they have work to be done. >> the problem is, everybody has the impulse to say just

that. as a matter of fact, it was on fox news this weekend, in which he talked about why he used this inflammatory language. let's see about this. here's my theory. that you use, over the top, sometimes inflammatory language. because that drives the media debate. did trump go too far? and then you get your issues. and language and was it enough? any thought that i might be right on that? >> it also gets people thinking about very important issues that if you don't use certain rhetoric. if you don't use certain words, that maybe are not very nice words. nothing will happen. >> he's laying out the excuse. for people who don't want to believe him. he's say, it's just rhetoric. it's to make people think about important things. calling immigrants subhuman vermin and talking about bloodbaths. >> he said, listen. if you don't use the not very nice words, things won't happen. in other words, if you use nasty words, things will

happen. and he's right. the fascists, authoritarians, they didn't have to kill people. they used language. that is calling people beasts. saying my opponents can't be in power pwatz they're on the side of the beasts. the words are the actions. the words matter in and of themselves. >> because the goal is to get people to take on these ideas and to deal with them? >> the goal is to say this can't possibly be legitimate. combined with the notion that they are fake. the idea is that they are meant to rally people. we know this can work because his words caused violence on january 6, 2021. he knows it works. that's what he's going for. >> professor, thank you for being here.

let me tell you a story that might seem complicated. but it's really quite straightforward. as always, all you have to do is facility the money. a little over a decade ago, donald trump, then just a private businessman, meets with the prime minister of serbia, and tells him how much he would like to build a luxury hotel in the serbian capital of belgrade. it doesn't happen. but a few years later, donald trump is president of the united states. and trump sends a special envoy. the guy trump sends, this guy named ric grennell doesn't have any. but he sides with them on everything they want. while he's there, mr. grenell

makes a lot of friends. and he also tells his serbian friends that they really should consider the idea of an american real estate development. meantime, jared kushner is there. kushner leaves the white house, and saudi arabia dumps $2 billion into kushner's brand new fund. now the deal between kushner and his serbian friends are teaming up to finally realize donald trump's dream of that luxury hotel development in belgrade, along with other big real estate projects in the balkans. according to the development by the "new york times," the serbian government could turn over the land and the entire development to kushner, free of charge. which i happen to think is a very nice thing for a foreign government to do for the trump

family. as donald trump locks up the presidential nomination, while facing hundreds of millions of dollars in legal judgments against him. joining us from the "new york times" is eric lipton. good to see you. thank you for being with us. i tried not to have that drip with too much sarcasm. but it's kind of an amazing situation, when you pull it altogether and see who the characters are involved in this development. >> yeah. we were startled when we learned that, in fact, this was a project that had first been proposed and considered by then trump businessman in 2013. and that, in fact, some representatives that the trump organization had traveled to serbia and looked at the site and met with the prime minister and you know, reported back to trump. but then the project went nowhere. because shortly after that, trump was running for president. and the international deals stopped. but it was really -- that was

the thing that surprised us. it started in 2013, at trump tower with a meeting with the prime minister of serbia. and the same prime minister was commenting on it today. he's now a member of parliament. but he was commenting on the same parliament today. and defending the proposal. >> i want to be clear in the reporting. both kushner and grenell say donald trump has nothing to do with this. >> that's right. trump, in fact, is not financially involved in this property at all. and trump and kushner assert -- it's sort of hard for r for me to accept. but they both reported that trump was unaware they had considered this site. we're talking about not only the same country, same city, but the exact same property that you are now proposing a

hotel. and that's what trump had proposed back in 2013. but they do assert that they were unaware that trump had considered this site for a hotel in 2013 and 2014. >> this, of course, these business interests tied to the donald trump family, are interesting at this moment in time. we've got news this week, that donald trump is having trouble raising a bond for the fine he has to pay up. so we have a bit more of a picture about donald trump's financial situation, in that he cannot -- without liquidating something, probably come up with a half billion dollars. makes the idea of developments around the world more compelling. >> again, this is not a trump project. this is a kushner project. and kushner has, for the last three years, been gradually building his investment fund investments. and this would be the largest group of investments he's done so far. there's two in albania, and one in serbia. the one in serbia alone is

estimated to be about a $500 million investment. we're talking more than a billion in these three investments. the thing that struck us was that the projects in both serbia and albania, required actions by the government there to grant them the right to use a federal property. and in albania, it's a former military site that would be turned into a luxury resort. and serbia, it's the former headquarters of the yugoslavian military, bombed by nato. which has been sitting vacant. in both of those, it was controlled by the government. so kushner would require the act of the government to control these sites. they know the fault is running. and that creates some questions about why these might be happening. >> it's not that serbia has questions about donald trump running for president. in fact, it's been a pretty pro-

trump government. >> yeah. they are supportive. you know, ric grenell had a pretty positive relationship with the president and prime minister and other ministers there. and you know, they did work to try to bring some reconciliation between kosovo and serbia. but you know, trump is pretty popular in serbia. much more popular in serbia than kosovo. and they like him. and they have -- you know, good working relations. and i think that they've expressed the fact that they would be fine with trump being the president again. so the challenge here is that, you know, jared knows that the spotlight is on him. and that he must do everything completely above board. and he's committed to doing that. but the challenge, even like it was, when trump first ran for

president, when you have someone who is, you know, potentially in the white house and they're getting sessions soz far in government. it could create conflict of interest. >> thank you for reporting on this. we appreciate it. "new york times" investigative reporter, eric lipton. more ahead this evening. all eyes are in the new trump- endorsed nominee, bernie moreno. a potential about-face by the court on the well- established precedent that the federal government and not the states. not any state, has the sole authority to regulate immigration. we'll have more on that after the break. ess. oh thanks! i splurged a little because liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. that's great. i know, right? i've been telling everyone. baby: liberty.

the court struck down key portions of that controversial law in arizona meant to crack down on immigration. the court said today, the federal government gets to deal with immigration, not the states. >> in 2012, the supreme court struck down parts of arizona's immigration bill. known then as the "show me your papers" law. that targeted undocumented migrants by making it a crime to not carry federal registration papers in the

state. but the court said it wasn't up to arizona to decide, saying the government of the united states has broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration and the status of aliens. the federal power to determine immigration policy is well settled. end quote. it appears now, that the supreme court may have changed its mind. today, the court decided to allow texas for now to enforce a new law that gives police the power of migrants in the state of mexico. the administration's argument that texas law violates the sole authority to immigration. a federal appeals court will hear oral arguments in this case tomorrow. that's a new development this evening. so this law could still be blocked at a later date. but for now, the supreme court

is contradicting its own and giving texas the authority. joining me now is joyce vance, professor at the school of law. in real life. joyce, it's so great to see you. it's so rare that we do this. this is a remarkably important story. it's actually not so much to do with immigration policy. but the concept that immigration is a thing for governments to do with other governments. not for the states to be involved in. is an important precedent. >> it is. and the supreme court in the 2012 arizona case that you referenced made that very clear. they said there's a supremacy clause. the federal government has the sole authority to legislate, to impose policy on immigration. and it's easy to understand why. right? what if mexico had to deal with 50 different state policies, instead of one national policy. but also, this texas law will impose a big burden on state

law enforcement officers and on federal law enforcement officers, by disrupting the normal path for immigration enforcement. so one has to separate, like they do in arizona, like texas, may disagree with federal immigration policies. but why would the supreme court entertain this idea? because this could become a slippery slope. if you start letting immigration policy. they'll all start immigration policy. >> this was a tough one to understand. the best explanation i can give you is that this was not the supreme court's decision on the merits of the case. this is an early staged issues, being litigated. the only issues right now is whether this law can stay in effect while courts are litigating the merits of the law itself. and it's a little unusual. the fifth circuit put an administrative stay in. that's supposed to be a temporary device that lets the

court decide what happens while it is taking place. but the fifth circuit took a long time here. and we saw that in the justice decision by amy coney barrett, join bood i brett kavanaugh, suggest the that if they didn't act, and come back to the court again. the response is, as you pointed out, that the fifth circuit will hold an argument tomorrow morning. but again, only on this issue of whether the law can remain in effect while the underlying litigation proceeds. >> and this seemed to imply that they would like the reasoning from the fifth circuit. in other words, there's an opening for the idea that tell me why you think that this law should be -- that texas should be able to decide immigration issues. that said, there's a fairly good amount of established law that doesn't support texas's position. >> this is not a close call. there is no law that supports texas's position. the texas attorney general, ken

paxton said, well, we're being invaded by texas. so under the provision that permits a state to respond. the solicitor general said, texas is not under attack. this is not an invasion by an army. this isn't an imminent danger for the state of texas. and they're tphoáz not permitted to use that provision in the constitution. she is correct. there is simply no authority from texas' decision. >> the fifth circuit holds oral arguments. will probably come to a decision. >> probably either way. and remember, this is still just on the issue of whether the law can remain in effect while other litigations are

under merit. >> let's talk about donald trump's legal team. they have filed well will arguments they're going to make before the supreme court next month. let me just read from this. a denial would incriminate with de facto and exportion and condemn to years of post office trauma, at the hands of political opponents. the threat would become a political cudgel to influence the most influential and controversial decisions. taking away the strength, effectiveness and decisiveness. this is just a rephrasing of what they heard. tell me what you think of this? >> yeah. i mean, same argument. it's funny how in our nation's history, this has never been a problem for any president except donald trump. his argument applies, but it only applies to a president who wants to commit criminal acts. >> right. he's made that point. the other thing his team says in here is trauma at the hands

of political opponents. donald trump likes to play this distraction game, that this isn't about an alleged crime that i committed. this is something driven by my political opponents. that also didn't hold water with the court. >> it didn't. you know, donald trump argues that he's the victim. but he persists in saying that joe biden is directing this prosecution for political purposes. it's very clear that what the biden administration has done is to reinstate the separation between the justice department and the white house. something donald trump eroded on his suggestions that the attorney general, for instance, should dismiss charges or reduce sentences. that's not what is going on here. trump, in essence is talking about how he would run the department. >> the justice department needs to call trump his attorney general. >> good to see you.

>> are you looking forward to the general election? are you concerned that ohio might lose its senate seat? >> i am. i think i am similar to a lot of people, in that i'm not really looking forward to the next election. it's just a little uneasy. >> about two hours ago, polls closed in ohio, where streeters have decided which republican candidate will square off against the democratic incumbent, senator sherrod brown in november. while the three-term senator is popular, the race for his seat is shaping up to be one of the hottest in the country. senator brown is one of three who are running in states that trump won. and their ability could determine whether democrats hold on to their already thin majority. nbc news has already projected a winner. of the the three republicans who ran, nbc news can project

that former car salesman bernie moreno wins ohio for senate. moreno is the candidate who received trump's endorsement. in fact, moreno is the guy trump was endorsing this weekend when he predicted a bloodbath. moreno has closely aligned himself with trump on everything. from immigration to a national ban on abortion. joining me now is shantal brown. congresswoman, good to see you. thank you for being with us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> anything about tonight's results that surprise you? >> actually, no. what we know in ohio is that the three republican candidates were just fighting each other. and not ohio arns. that they were using their personnel. billionaire to pour into this campaign. in an attempt to buy the seat.

and what we know, senator sherrod brown has continued to do the people's work. putting people over politics. delivering real results. this is no surprise to us. and i expect that this will continue. they certainly left a lot of baggage for any of the candidates entering this race to carry in to compete with senator sherrod brown. this did not come as a surprise to me at all. >> give me a sense of why -- sherrod brown is one of those guys who gets a lot of bipartisan support. why is this as competitive as this is right now? >> well, ohio is more rigged than it is red. quite frankly, when you look at issue number 1, november, the reproductive issue on the ballot, to enshrine pem's rights to make their own healthcare decisions. you could see overwhelmingly,

that we are a state that actually is more balanced than it is perceived. 51% of men in the state of ohio were supportive of the reproductive justice issue. and when it comes to senator sherrod brown, he knows how to deliver the message because he connects with people from all walks of life and on every level. he is a man that has supported veterans issues, leading the veterans p.a.c.t. act issue on the senate side. a strong advocate and supporter of labor rights, and so those are the things that makes him very much appealing to a broad constituency, that which is consistent in ohio. >> and how -- that context that you just provided about ohio and how it votes is important. because you talk about issue one. the reproductive rights referendum. 57% of ohio voters in november voted to enshrine abortion rights in the state.

but the support of the exit poll little indicate that the republican voters think the state is not conservative enough. are all three of these republican candidates support abortion bans. tell me -- the math doesn't seem to be mating on mating on that. >> while the polls might say one thing. we know that polls don't vote. when it comes to elections, we have to look at the numbers. and we'll take a deep dive on the numbers of this outcome -- of the outcome in this election. to see where we will gain and garner support. to the support in sherrod brown's case. but he's already had magical help himself in order to be able to successfully win. and i expect him to be able to continue to do that.

despite the polling, we are confident with hard work, and clearly, the republicans see senator sherrod brown as a real tráet. but we will continue to fight and make sure that the voters are aware of how important it is to protect the slim senate majority as you let this. >> i would agree that they're dealing with exit polls. a subset of a subset. but they're a little shocking, some of the responses. amongst republican voters, the exit poll say immigration is first, economy second, abortion is third. but the -- they asked a question about whether biden legitimately won the election in 2021. and will 63% said he didn't. ll. an election in ohio in november, are you trying to deal with republicans? or are you trying to deal with getting them out? these are complicated conversations to have.

people in 2024 don't believe joe biden won the election, i don't know what the discussion looks like. >> you're absolutely right. and what i would say to that, we have to talk to everyone. we can't leave them on the table and we have to be intentional about making sure we deliver and we cannot neglect them or talk to them on the mind of voters in the district specifically. and they are concerned about issues around immigration as well as women's reproductive health. those are the things we have to talk about. when you talk about what you were able to do when they had majority. those are the enthings that we will need to build on and such as the inflation reduction act, which is focusing on reducing prescription drug costs, and that we cap prices at $2,000 a

year starting in 2025. and those are real issues that are putting money back into people's wallets. those are the things that they did and no republican support. all these candidates included support an abortion ban. so we have to get to the heart of the issue. it is important and that is politics. this is a time where we will have to elevate the conversation behind voting by party lines, and really get li more sophisticated as it relates to talking about things that are important to the voters. what i know is they have the skills and the experience to do that and so do my colleagues, marcy captar. we will be working collectively and collaboratively to deliver the votes to ohio to ensure the

people of ohio know something that has been working on them and they continue to put people over politics. >> congressman brown represents ohio's 11th congressional district. thanks for being with us. one last story coming up. what senator chuck schumer's rebuke of the handling of the war on gaza could mean for the future of israeli-american relations. that's coming up next. and she could track us and see exactly when we'd arrive. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vo: we came to her with service that fit her schedule. >> woman: you must be pascal. >> tech: nice to meet you. >> tech vo: we got right to work, with a replacement she could trust. we come to you for free! schedule now for free mobile service at safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

the southernmost tip of the

gaza strip, now one of the most densely packed places on earth. has more people per square mile than new york city. for the 1.5 million civilians that are trying to survive in rafah, there is nowhere to run. when the war started, israel ordered the civilian population to evacuate the northern half of gaza saying the south would be safe. then they attacked the south and told civilians to move farther and farther south until eventually they ended up packed like sardines without adequate food, water, housing. for all of those advances, israel had u.s. support. now as the israeli military prepares to move into rafah, that does not appear to be the case. today the highest ranking jewish person in american government, the u.s. senate majority leader chuck schumer, today schumer told the new york times that when writing a speech about the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu last week, he contemplated as going as far on calling netanyahu to step down altogether. for the past few decades, schumer has been one of

israel's and netanyahu's staunchest allies. he has defended israeli settlements in the west bank. he's called for israel to strangle gaza economically. co-sponsored a bill that would have made it a federal crime to boycott the state of israel. when he came to the united states in 2015 to deliver a speech criticizing obama, a speech that dozens of democrats, including then vice president joe biden refused to attend. schumer showed up and applauded for netanyahu. it cannot be overstated how big of a deal it is for chuck schumer that benjamin netanyahu has now gone too far. ultimately last week, schumer did not go as far as to call for netanyahu to step down. instead schumer called for israel to hold new elections and explain why he thinks the israeli people should vote netanyahu out. eyed president biden called prime minister netanyahu to warn him against invading rafah. but today, netanyahu announced that he plans to invade rafah

any way. he doesn't think biden or schumer should be telling israel what to do. for decades, the u.s. policy of unconditionally backing israel has been pretty much set in stone. but if netanyahu can lose chuck schumer, i don't know if that is the case anymore. if he really does decide to pull the trigger on a ground invasion that would undoubtedly kill countless defenseless civilians in rafah. we might just be seeing the start of a new era of israeli- american relations. that's our show for tonight. it's time now for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. i think you've got a big guest lined up? >> we do. we have the winner of the democratic senate primary in ohio. of course, that's senator sharon brown. he'll be joining us tonight on ohio primary night. andrew weissman will be joining us with more trump news including the astonishingly insane appeal to the united states supreme court
