good toe be with you. i'm katy tur. two years ago today six justices on the supreme court, the

majority, voted to overturn roe v. wade, eliminating in an instant 49 years of precedent and productions. now, a lot of the country's minority, to make life-changing decisions for the majority. on the basis not of science or medicine, but religion, specifically on when conservative christians believe life begins. that decision set off a cascade of new state laws, either severely restricting or completely banning the procedure. making an abortion so difficult to get that pregnancy itself was suddenly at risk. you've heard just some of the stories. amanda, we've had her on this show from texas, who was denied an abortion even as she was miscarrying and septic, and onda in florida who lost half the blood in her body and had lasting damage done to her uterus after doctors sent her home to miscarry at home alone at 16 weeks because there was still a fetal heart beat.

kelly shannon in alabama who was denied an abortion and forced to drive across state lines for crucial reproductive care, despite her fetus', quote, negligible chance of survival. there are many other stories. and now other families with new stories. since ivf is at risk, the fertilization procedure. from the chief justice of the alabama supreme court, quote, human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy god who views the destruction of a view of himself. this is having an effect on the elector rat. a record high number of u.s. voters say they would only vote for a candidate who shares their

views on abortion, 32%. while 54% of u.s. adults say they are pro choice. 58% of them say a candidate's nominee to the supreme court are very important to them. which is why the biden campaign is trying to lean in hard on the issue. what exactly are they doing sdm how is the trump team trying to counter? and what will we hear on the debate stage? we are getting so much closer to november. joining us, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, and msnbc political analyst, ashley parker. ashley, i want to start with you and the biden team. they are trying increasingly every day to make sure that the issue of reproductive rights, which now encompasses not just abortion, but pregnancy is front and center for american voters. who specifically do they think that they can convince that this

is the issue, the number one issue they should vote on come november? >> well, they believe there's a number of people they can convince on this issue, in part, because they look back at just about every election since the dobbs decision, including elections they were not supposed to win and how the issue of reproductive rights proved a galvanizing force. of course, some of those key groups are the ones you named, are women, are young voters. one of the ways they're doing this, and you mentioned this in your intro, but they're highlighting these stories that sort of regardless of just about anyone's viewpoint are devastating stories of women who have been affected by this, women who had wanted pregnancies and, you know, were miscarrying, women's whose health was at risk, women who were raped, raped by a relative or a

stepparent, and they're really making these women especially the face of this fight. in part because their stories are so de stating, so heartbreaking and they hope with all these groups i just mentioned, compelling. >> you're talking about the women, the examples they have, ashley. how are they rolling that out? >> you've seen some ads. the first lady is going to be campaigning with a young woman who appeared in a very compelling ad, i believe it was in kentucky, talking about how she was raped and became pregnant by her stepfather when she was just 12 years old. she ended up miscarrying. she's talking about the people who would take away reproductive freedom. she says, don't know what it's like to have stood in my shoes. that's just one example. you'll see these women out on the campaign trail. you're going to see these women in ads and you're going to see these women's stories recounted in speech after speech by the

president, the vice president and a number of democratic surrogates. >> we have a little bit of another ad. let's play it. >> roe is just beginning. they're going to try to ban the right to choose nationwide. they're coming for ivf and birth control next. send me back to the white house and i'll fight like hell to restore roe v. wade after protecting american freedom. >> can you give us a little background on how we got to this point? i mean, you write -- you have a new book out called "the fall of roe" and you talk about how liberals were blindsided by the overturning of roe v. wade. how did we get to this point now two years after? >> well, it's sort of remarkable thinking about everything that so many americans didn't see that had been happening for so many years that got us to the fall of roe. and really there was an elite network of conservative, mostly christian lawyers, lobbyists, activists, who worked together

behind radars to create a legislation to the supreme court pipeline, basically, to put all the pieces in place to pull the levers of power they needed to create what would be called cultural change. cultural change, about thattic thereling down, but the fall of roe showed us the opposite can be true. in this case, we have a conservative christian minority where rolling back -- or ending abortion rights is an ultimate goal, but not just that, it's really about rolling back the entire sexual revolution and changing american culture by changing the law. so, you start to see this influence not just in abortion now two years later but issues like ivf, like you mentioned, some forms of contraception and even things like putting the ten commandments in every school classroom in public schools in louisiana. >> what was donald trump's role while he was in office? what might his role be if he

regains office again? >> certainly we probably wouldn't be in this thought if trump had not been president and had those three opportunities to put in supreme court justices. more than that even, or in addition to that, he really elevated a narrative of christian grievance and promised conservative christians, we hear this happening on the campaign trail, even now promising conservative christians they would have power if he was in office and their values would be placed on the mainstream. so, even though we see him sort of backing away from all his work to end abortion rights and overturn roe, we also hear him speaking to groups like the southern baptist convention, specifically there a group of anti-abortion activists who want the complete abolition of abortion at conception and have very hard right view. some of those people went on to push to get -- at the convention, the largest

protestant in the u.s., to have their members oppose ivf just a couple of weeks ago. so, his -- it's very likely if you look at the past and see what those in his administration have done, and who his supporters are, that these values will continue to be on the line. >> so, is he, vaughn -- to embrace what he's done? elizabeth remarked about how he's starting to back off from it. what exactly is the trump team doing on the issue of abo ergs? >> two things. for months donald trump has hailed the supreme court justices he nominated to the bench those who overturned roe v. wade. he's taking credit for it. but part of that is also him trying to win over and curry favor with those supreme court justices for other issues that they are considering related to him. but just take today, the anniversary, for instance, we have not heard a single word from donald trump or his

campaign about the dobbs decision, zero, nothing, no word whatsoever here. i think that's notable because they understand where the polling and political ramifications are. arguably in several of the battleground states in the 2022 midterms, when you're talking about donald trump and this issue, back in april, he suggested that within a week he would be coming out with a policy position on abortion medication. that was back in april. he hasn't come out with any position. he's been asked about the comstock act which is an 1870 law that makes it illegal that the doj has not prosecuted under the biden administration which makes it illegal through the mail send abortion medication. there's a question whether his administration would seek to use the department of justice to prosecute such efforts. so, that is where some of the questions have just unanswered by this general election candidate four months out. >> i have another question about where he stands on an issue he's going to have to actually vote on himself in florida. first, let's play some sound from republican women over the weekend talking about how donald

trump feels -- how they feel about donald trump's flip-flopping position on abortion. let's play it. >> some of us in our group are torn in trump, which is why half is here and half is not because of his comments regarding abortion. we want a federal abortion ban. obviously, he wouldn't support something like that. but we're hopeful if he surrounds himself with the right people and because he has been the most pro life president in our lifetime, you know, a lot of us are still supporting him because of that. >> i'm very disappointed with his position. it's something that -- it's very disheartening. there isn't a candidate that's -- sorry. there isn't a candidate that's currently one of the mainstream parties that is 100% anti-abortion. that's really what i would look for in a presidential candidate. >> the first woman was talking about wanting to see him change on the issue. there is a question that will be posed to him, potentially at the debate, but at the ballot box

come november, which would illuminate his true position on the issue of abortion. >> in florida under governor desantis they passed an abortion ban. now the voters of florida are going to have on their ballot in november a measure that codifies protections for reproductive rights. and donald trump has been asked about this. and he has equivocated. he has not answered the question. donald trump often dismisses questions or equivocates on whether he would sign a federal abortion ban, donald trump is going to have that question asked of him as a florida resident. and at this point in time, four months from the general election, he has not answered how he will vote on that measure. >> we heard from those women saying there are conservative women among them who didn't show up because donald trump is not conservative enough on the issue, doesn't publicly support a federal abortion ban. there are also more centrist women, elizabeth you've done reporting on this, republican

women divided on the issue of abortion who believe an abortion more -- abortion rights more than their counterparts in the republican party. ashley, i want to ask you this question, this is the double haters, the people who don't feel at home in either party. i'm assuming that some of those -- there's some overlap there. the issue of abortion, how high does that rank for people who don't like either candidate? >> so, what's fascinating is -- i was just in western wisconsin talking to more than 60 of these double hater voters for a handful of days last month. when i was going back through my notes trying to synthesize what i heard, i realized none of them had brought up abortion at all. so, that doesn't mean, you know, as the polling shows, it's not an issue for a number of people, but among these -- this group, but at least in this place and the of 0 i talked to, they did bring up policy issues but the

policy issues they mainly brought up were in reference to what they didn't like about president biden. and it was the economy, number one. and the israel/gaza war, number two. what they didn't like about trump had little to do about policy, was who he is as a person and his behavior. i was also stunned that abortion never once came up. >> ashley parker, thank you so much. elizabeth and vaughn hillyard, thank you as well. still ahead, there is a debate. there are three days left until that debate. what is going to matter? what can they say that will matter and change the minds of voters? also down in florida, what judge aileen cannon is hearing about today after that news her colleagues tried to get her to step down from the documents case. what donald trump's national security adviser, his first one, this guy, is doing to make a whole lot of money for him and his family. don't go anywhere. we're back in 90 seconds.

just a few short days away. what is going to matter? joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent monica alba. how exactly is president biden preparing for this debate? what are they expecting? >> reporter: he's huddling with close advisers, katy, at camp david and he will be there, we expect, until he leaves for atlanta. really spending some intensive sessions, huddled with the people who know him best, and preparing really topic by topic on what they expect will come up during the course of that 90-minute contest. they're also talking about this larger dynamic that former president trump brought up over the weekend, which is which donald trump is going to show up at this debate? is it the one who's more bombastic and clearly on full display at his various rallies, or as the former president even asked this week, should he show up and be nice and calm and should he let president biden speak and finish his answers? so that is certainly something they're discussing in terms of

wanting to have a really clear contrast, i'm told. and they believe that will be evident from their different policy positions on everything from abortion, like you were just talking about, to social security, medicare, and protecting democracy. but there could be those moments, according to those who are familiar with the president's debate prep, that really could maybe get under donald trump's skin and that then could reveal, quote, the true trump. those will be the moments the biden campaign is looking for and will really try to draw upon because they do have this sense that it's possible that donald trump could be a little bit more disciplined. he may absolutely not be, but depending on which version shows up, president biden, they say, is ready to deal with either way. it was actually the campaign co-chair, mitch landrieu over the weekend who said it's irrelevant, it doesn't matter which donald trump comes to atlanta on thursday, that baz they're going to try to make that contrast so stark, that

that is what voters will take away when they watch. >> and for the trump side of things, nbc news has reported he's not doing any formal debate prep, no camp david sessions or the like for donald trump. he's just been calling people and talking to them. and the campaign has said publicly they believe joe biden is his own worst enemy. seeing the two men next to each other will be enough for voters to see who is more forceful, who's more energetic, according to them. monica alba, thank you very much. on thursday, rachel maddow and team leads special coverage and analysis of the debate hosted by cnn. watch thursday beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern here on msnbc. coming up, what former national security adviser michael flynn is doing right now to make a whole lot of cash on maga. and aileen cannon, the judge in south florida, hearing the classified documents case, has two hearings today. what might she decide? don't go anywhere.

modification of the conditions of donald trump's release, which is essentially a gag order where jack smith is asking judge cannon to order donald trump to stop lying about a document that reminded the fbi about its use of force policy that accompanied the mar-a-lago search in 2022. and jack smith said this request is narrowly focused and consistent with the first amendment. donald trump's lawyers argue this impinges on his first amendment right. the special counsel is saying that trump's comments especially -- he said the fbi had an assassination plot against him and he said president biden authorized the fbi to use deadly force during the raid, which is false. jack smith is saying those comments are putting fbi agents' lives in danger. he cited specifically the incident after the mar-a-lago search where a trump supporter armed with an ar-15 and nail gun attacked the fbi office in cincinnati and subsequently killed by the police. just last week another trump supporter was charged with

threatening an fbi agent in the hunter biden case and saying that after mr. trump wins the presidential election, fbi agents will, quote, be hunted down and slaughtered. so smith says this rhetoric has real world consequences and he's asking cannon to order trump to stop mischaracterizing that document. >> lisa, aileen cannon, holding a lot of hearings on things that might just usually be ruled on and dismissed. this dismissal, is there any chance -- or what are the arguments for dismissal of the case? ken was talking about the gag order. what about the arguments trump is making for the dismissal of the case on constitutional grounds. >> there are several pending grounds, ones on constitutional grounds. trump has also asked judge cannon to dismiss the mar-a-lago case. she's never held a hearing on that. presumably she's acting for the supreme court to act and could apply their ruling to the facts. but today was about the

unlawfulness of the appointment of jack smith. one is under the appointments clause of the constitution and another is a clause dealing with appropriations. the arguments are essentially that jack smith is being paid through an appropriation to the justice department that shouldn't cover people like him if there they're operating independently of the department of justice, as the special counsel's office has argued. with respect to the appointments clause, their argument is essentially that merrick garland didn't have the power to appoint jack smith because there is no statute into which he falls and if he's not being supervised, then he required senate confirmation, which he hasn't had. >> how many more hearings before she might decide on a trial date? >> i don't know how many more hearings. you know, katy, the stack of motions before judge cannon undecided is only growing because even though donald trump's lawyers had a deadline by which to make their pretrial motions to dismiss, they keep making them on other grounds. they keep finding new grounds to

potentially dismiss the case. recently they asked her to dismiss the case on the basis that the search itself was warrantless and the fbi fabricated search allegations in the search warrant application. we are sort of playing a game of following the bouncing ball that is never ending and she is several steps behind where that ball is bouncing. i keep asking this. is there any point where it might be warranted, might be successful for the special counsel to go to the appellate courts and say, this is not working? she's not -- >> yes. >> she's really -- right now it is egregious the amount of time she's taking. >> not on the basis of delay. that's not a basis for seeking a recusal or removal of a judge. however, the gag order application being heard this afternoon is immediately appealable if the special counsel loses. that's because they're seeking to modify trump's conditions of

release, basically bail conditions. they are saying we want you to embed in his bail conditions if he makes specific, imminent threats against law enforcement -- >> but can they use that to get her dismissed? >> i think in appealing that they could also seek her recusal on the basis of her ruling in that. >> bad judgment. >> they could say she's imper miserably biased -- >> that's if she makes a ruling on the gag order any time before the moon melts into cream cheese. i don't know what she's saying. i mean, she doesn't have to make a ruling on the gag order on an expedited basis, does she? >> she doesn't. but some of the allegations here are so egregious that i think she's under some pressure to make some form of ruling. again, want necessarily on an expedited timeline. one of the things the special counsel's office has called attention to is the case of ricky schiffer, the gentleman who called in a threat to the

fbi office in -- or, rather, tried to attack the fbi office in cincinnati three days after the initial mar-a-lago search. today for the first time the special counsel's office is attaching to their papers is his truth media social posts in the days before that attack. some of the things he's saying shows a direct connection between donald trump's rhetoric and the threats to law enforcement in a way i think judge cannon has to deal with in some way, shape or form. >> i'm keeping my bar really low. it's taken a long time to get any answers out of that judge. lisa, thank you very much. ken, thank you as well. why russia is blaming the united states for an attack in crimea that killed two children and injured more than 100 others. first, though, what michael flynn has done to turn his right-wing celebrity into cash. a family business. ring. think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and hurtles it into space? boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible,

it was the kind of nonprofit where chairman would usually work for free but michael flynn is no typical chairman. under his watch, america's future ink, is what it's called, is no longer a typical nonprofit. since he left the trump administration, under scandal, one-time national security adviser michael flynn has converted his trump world celebrity into a lucrative family business, earning him and his family at least $2.2 million

by capitalizing on far-right conspiracy theories like qanon lies about trafficking children. "new york times" investigative reporter, david. explain this nonprofit and how general flynn has transformed it. >> as you said, it was a small nonprofit, been around since the 1940s, pretty much dorm mant for the last 40 years. it gets handed over to michael flynn with about $3 million in cash in 2021. the first thing flynn does is start paying himself $40,000 a year to do two hours of work a week, and then he paid his brother, and then he paid two of his sisters, his sister-in-law and his niece. so, just two years into this organization, it's both financially very unhealthy, losing $600,000 a year, selling off assets, burning through savings, and increasing the amount of money it pays to general flynn and his relatives.

about a third of the budget, at last count, went to flynns. >> who is paying him this money? who infused the nonprofit with cash so michael flynn could pay himself and his relatives? >> a lot of it is just coming out of residuals. a lot of people donated to it and it's just sitting in the bank. and then at the end of 2022 they realized this wasn't a sound strategy. they had $3 million to start with and they were running through it pretty fast and they hit on this new strategy to get new supporters and new income, which is they began to embrace qanon like conspiracy theories, pedophiles who harvest children and traffic children, and that pedophiles are everywhere, we have to look out for them behind the media, mriments. >> can you say this was intentional, they needed the cash. what did they need the cash for?

is the cash so that michael flynn can pay him and his family or are they doing something with this nonprofit? and was it intentional to go out and peddle known lies? >> i don't know if it was intentional. they charge $40 for people to hear them give this talk about how pedophiles are everywhere you should be concerned. the purpose of the organization, the main thing is does is pay flynns and hold events that warn about pedophilia and have events at mar-a-lago. one of the biggest money losers for them in 2022, the last numbers we have, they had a big event at mar-a-lago celebrating flynn and it cost them so much, they lost $63,000 just one night. >> so, why did they go after michael flynn and say -- how did michael flynn get involved with this nonprofit? >> that's one of the big

mysteries. the last person running it was a social conservative from the '60s through the '80s. she dies. the group is dormant. we haven't -- we have called all the people who would have been involved and most didn't call us back. we don't know exactly how it got handed over. >> is it legal to have a nonprofit like this? i mean, he's -- isn't a nonprofit benefiting a certain group? if it's just benefiting michael flynn and his family, is it legal? >> there's two big questions about the legallegalities. you're right, one of the rules about nonprofit is it can't be for private benefit. it can't be used to benefit one family, one small group of people. you might look and say, this organization seems to exist largely for the purpose of enriching the flynn family. we don't know if the irs has done that or had that question. the other question is just about paperwork. you can pay your relatives. if i run a nonprofit, it is

>> reporter: remarkably we've seen this dust-up between washington and jerusalem spilling over into a second week. know benjamin netanyahu, israel's prime minister, told israeli television last nights in a rare interview with domestic tv, that there were still lags in weapons deliveries from the u.s. to israel. this was the cause of all of this friction last week, when benjamin netanyahu released an english language video scolding the biden administration for lagging on their delivery of weapons. he said that it was several different weapons. at least he did last night. now, the white house has consistently denied that that was the case. in fact, we heard from a white house spokeswoman last week saying she had no idea what netanyahu was talking about. this was the most public and most glaring example of a falling out between the biden administration and netanyahu, but it comes just as netanyahu, as he's continuing to assail the biden administration, he signaled the fight in the gaza strip is entering a new phase, one in which it sounds, from his

words, combatants and hostilities will be decreasing, particularly in the southern city of rafah, which abuts the egyptian border on the edge of the gaza strip. he said that will allow for the idf to free up some of their capabilities, their soldiers and equipment, to move north where there is a new fight brewing 37 it has long been one of the major fronts in this war but over the last two weeks it has really heat up. we went up there yesterday and spoke with some family members and people who had been living there. they had been evacuated like most of the city and they said they were frustrated with the government, they haven't been allowed to return to their homes for the past eight months and the israeli government hadn't been taking the threat of hezbollah seriously and pushed them back from the border. all of this is happening, all of this friction as the defense minister in israel is visiting washington, d.c.

he'll be going about the business, presumably, of clearing up some disputes between washington and jerusalem, and also addressing three major topics. one, hezbollah and lebanon, the hostages who still remain in the gaza strip. there are dozens of them. so far a negotiated deal to have them freed has alluded negotiators from different countries. and also the fighting in the gaza strip and threats to civilians there. he'll be reassuring diplomatic leaders that israel is doing all they can. this visit couldn't come at a more crucial time, as i mentioned, with this massive public falling out between washington and jerusalem. >> thank you very much. russia says the u.s. bears responsibility for a deadly attack on occupied crimea over the weekend. moscow claims u.s.-made missiles launched by ukraine left at least four dead and more than 150 injured. now, the russian foreign ministry has summoned the u.s. ambassador for questioning and says, quote, retaliatory measures will certainly follow. joining us now, nbc news

international correspondent, danielle and nbc news national law and intelligence correspondent tom winter, who has some news about the saudis and 9/11. danielle, first, let me ask you about russia. what is russia arguing the u.s. is responsible for? when they talk about retaliatory measures, do we know what they are? >> no to your last question but the u.s. is quite used to russia's rhetoric of trying to keep everybody guessing. what are they allegedly responsible for? the death of four people and two children, according to russia. the u.s. ambassador was summoned, facing accusations that washington was waging a hybrid war against russia and becoming a party to the conflict. putin has repeatedly warned that -- of the risk of a much broader war. the fact that the u.s. and both uk have allowed kyiv to use their weapons against russia is seen as a major escalation for vladimir putin. a quick recap here. we're talking about the missiles

here. russia, this is all we know, it comes from the kremlin, they intercepted five missiles and they are loaded with cluster warheads. the debris falling on a beach nearby. it is summertime and despite the war, life does go on, injuring 150 people. the russians say these missiles are not only supplied by the u.s., they are programmed by the u.s., and they are guided by american satellites. >> thank you very much. she's talking about the crimea event. there's also over the weekend a terror attack in the dagestan region of russia. what happened and why in dagestan? what is that region known for? >> attacks over the years. there was also an incident last year where a plane carrying israelis from israel obviously landed there, were surrounded by people there, effectively protesting and what was quite a

squary -- >> they had to stay on the plane and evacuated. >> it has been a hotbed for a long time. and the attack occurring in two cities we're told by u.s. officials. not sure what terrorist group is responsible for it. >> they were attack on jewish and christian synagogues. >> jewish parishes and orthodox, the christian group there was killed in that attack. so a number of police officers that responded or were provided security already to the synagogues there, again speaking to that region and some of the issues that occur there, they were also killed as well and as many as 15 police officers, again, according to reports from the region, as well as u.s. officials and also from russian news reports there. >> all right. the other story, you have in front of you a paper -- a screen shot of a notepad with long division on it.

what does this have to do with the new allegations surrounding the saudi government and 9/11. there was a video that came out from "60 minutes" yesterday that shows a saudi national touring the capitol in 1999, a couple of years before the attacks and he's pointing out security guards and pointing out the washington monument and talking about the capitol. how do both of these things including that screen grab that you have or that picture that you have, how do they fall together. >> right. so the video that you're looking at right now, and what i just showed you and then what we later looked at on screen, were items of evidence, the metropolitan police service, in the u.k., seized several weeks following 9/11 from an individual named omar al buy from his residence. they came up with a number of different things and through litigation involving the 9/11 families who sued the kingdom of saudi arabia, or through documents that have been

declassified by president biden, we're talking north of a thousand pages of documents, in the course of reading through, there are a couple of different things that have come up. according to the fbi investigation, they believe that somebody who was a part of saudi intelligence, that is the video that you just saw there, he was involved in shooting that video and then these calculations that you saw according to a pilot the fbi spoke to, according to individuals that the plaintiffs attorneys have spoken to, this would be able to, you were in a certain height flying a plane, would tell you what your descent rate would be if you're trying to hit the ground at a specific point. we've reached out to the kingdom of saudi arabia here and in their embassy for comment about him and his connections that u.s. law enforcement was made. he's never arrest and last believed to be in saudi arabia. >> tom winter, tom thank you very much. and there is no good way to turn to this tease. but we're going to end on a
