it■s hard eating healthy. unless you happen to be a dog. this is the katy thing show, live from washington d.c.. we have lots of news to cover, and lots of questions to answer. so let's get started. breaking news out of ukraine this morning. house speaker nancy pelosi visits kyiv along with several u.s. lawmakers. and meets with president volodymyr zelenskyy. what's they said about the trip just moments ago. plus, remember when republicans accused others of playing the victim card? well, now they are doing exactly that when it comes to -- but will voters let them play the blame game? also, pumping extremism and conspiracies into millions of american homes.

new york times journalist watched more than 1100 episodes of tucker carlson's show. to break down exactly how dangerous it could be. i'll talk to daniel moody about the disturbing results of that investigation. and later, a true crime mystery playing out in realtime. an alabama sheriff says a female corrections officer may have helped an accused murderer escape. but did she do it willingly? i'm going to speak live to the sheriff who is investigating this bizarre mystery. all of that and more is coming right up. and a good sunday morning to you. i am katie fang. just moments ago, speaker nancy pelosi holding a press conference in poland after traveling to ukraine overnight, with a congressional tele-gay shun to meet with president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> very distinguished

congressional delegation. the speaker making clear, the united states is committed to ukraine until victory as one. the delegation also releasing a statement following their main zelenskyy, saying that he stressed them has countries need for more security, economic, and humanitarian assistance from the united states. for more on this, return to nbc news correspondent raf sanchez, in lviv. >> katie, the details of the secret congressional visit cannot be revealed. speaker nancy pelosi coming to keep it saturday, to meet face to face with president zelenskyy. she was accompanied by adam shift, the chair of the house intelligence committee. gregory meads, the head of the foreign affairs committee. and jim mcgovern, the head of the rules committee. she was here to hear firsthand

from residents lewinsky, about the ukrainian war effort. and shoe pledge continuing american support, not just from the white house, but from congress as ukraine continues to try to fight off this russian invasion. now, she is a big draw when she gets back to washington. she has to steer president biden's 33 billion dollar aid package through congress. some of the politics around this already getting a little bit tricky as it gets caught up in both covid and immigration issues. the speaker of the house coming a week after secretary of defense lloyd austin, secretary for defensive blinken. she is now the most senior elected american official coming to ukraine. she is continuing the trip today in poland, planning to meet with the polish president, and with u.s. service personnel who are stationed over there. meanwhile, in mariupol, the siege of that steel plants continues. there was a glimmer of good

news yesterday. both russian state media and the ukrainian national guard, saying that 20 civilians were evacuated from the steel plants. they are the first to get that since the siege began. still a lot of questions about their fate. it is not clear if they're going to be able to move from mariupol to ukraine held territory, or if they are now in russian custody. overnight, russians also attacking the civilian airport in odessa. that is, right completely destroying the runway there. the mayor of addresses, saying that runway took ten years to plan and to construct, and it took a russian missile one night to destroy. he is promising that they will build that runway back, bigger and better than before. katie. >> we will have more and pelosi's trip to ukraine later on in the show. we are also going to talk to general more robinson, the first female combatant commander about u.s. aid to

ukraine. and whether we are putting ourselves at risk by putting so much of our own military equipment. now to this. once upon a time, the tried and true republican strategy was to accuse all kinds of people of claiming victim height. now it seems that is what they are doing in the aftermath of the january 6th insurrection. in his most recent federal court filing chief of staff mark meadows claimed that the committee is trying to vilify him by publicly leaking his text messages to the press. it is the latest in the court battle between meadows and the court battle he is going to have to testify. as mentioned, earlier marjorie taylor greene's employees are making similar claims, going so far as to say that she is a victim of the attack on the capitol, and a political -- campaign. green could be one of the republicans about to get a letter from the january six committee. chairman bennie thompson says they are preparing to send a

new round of letters to ask several republicans for their voluntary cooperation. the guardian reports that greene is one of those on the last. that is according to two anonymous sources. nbc news has not verified this reporting. we are going to talk to guardian reporter you will lowell, who was the hot behind that story, a little bit later. our story starts with allie raffa. when you're going to be will tell us about this letter, ali? >> good morning katie. starting off with some background here. the january six committee chairman bennie thompson said to this week that a series of eight public hearings will begin on june 9th, which will reveal exactly what happened during the attack on the capitol. what went wrong during that attack. and he says that during a public hearing, it could be revealing some information that could be potentially impactful to several lawmakers here in capitol hill. and now he is saying that he wants to give those lawmakers a chance to tell their side of the story, about what they knew about events on january six,

leading up to it and after. the president's thinking around that time. and because of this, he says that he will send requests for testimony to several gop lawmakers, in the house and the senate. quote, soon. but we are not exactly sure how close soon is. so, something we are looking out for here, some possibilities as to who could be called. house minority leader kevin mccarthy, who we know has been called the committee to come in and testify, he later said that he would not cooperate with that. another possibility, as you mentioned at the top, they're congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. she is another possibility. senator ted cruz. chip avoid, mike lee. this is something we are definitely keeping a hot eye on here at capitol hill, as these letters, formal requests, could come today or possibly -- >>, ali there are also several reports about john eastman maybe turning over 1000 pages of documents.

what do we know about that? just to remind our viewers, john eastman was a former president trump's legal advisor, and he allegedly sent a note to vice president pence at the time encouraging pence to deny electoral counts from states that biden won. and because of this, the committee originally requested a round 100,000 pages of emails related to his work. for trump. eastman later claims that the content in his emails, argue that executive privilege sued the committee. and now his lawyer on friday, said according to the committee, the 10,000 files of those emails will be released to the committee. >> wow, ali 10,000 emails. i also want to, know how many do these new letters matter? as long as they keep our propping up trump's big lie. i will ask you go lowell.

the white house correspondents dinner was back for the first time recently. comedian -- hosted the star studded event. he worked at everybody, including the president. >> president biden's lack of filter does get into hot water sometimes. he caused a hue international instant saying that that vladimir putin should be removed from power. it was very upsetting to russia. until someone explained to them that none of the stuff biden wants actually gets done. >> over 2500 people or there, and everyone was required to show their vaccination history. vice president kamala harris was unable to attend, as she tested positive for covid earlier in the week. president joe biden, however, did make an appearance. making him the first president to attend the event since his former running mate of rybarikova did in 2016. biden poked fun at himself and the gop's culture wars.

>> ronald reagan said, mr. gorbachev, tear this wall down. today's republicans say, they're down mickey mouse's house! and pretty soon, they will be storming cinderella's castle, you can be sure of that. the republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named brandon. he is having a really good year. i am kind of happy for him. >> last night, i actually have the honor of attending the white house correspondents dinner. i wanted to share a few pictures with you. it was so nice to catch up with colleagues and friends, and to meet new friends and person. after a few years of only social media contact. some of them looked a little different than the pictures in those little circles that we see on twitter, but everyone looked amazing and dapper last night. later this hour, i am going to take a deep dive on the new york times massive investigation into tucker carlson. how it claims the fox news host has weaponized his viewers, to create what's could be the most

racist show in cable news. plus, speaker nancy pelosi becomes the highest ranging u.s. official to visit ukraine during the war. more on her meeting with president zelenskyy. but first, republican lawmakers could soon be put in the hot seat when it comes to january 6th. my question is, will they keep pushing the big lie? age, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

anonymous sources. nbc news has not yet verified this reporting. more reports that the panel has a renewed interest, as, well to talk to kevin mccarthy. after they leaked audio tapes showing that what he is was saying privately to his colleagues immediately after january 6th. including the he was going to ask trump to resign. here is my question. wouldn't even matter who talks to the committee? as republicans are publicly keeping, pushing the big lie. here to talk with me all about it is congressional reporter for the guardian, hugo lowell. hugo, thank you so much for being here this morning. what can you tell me about these letters? it is obviously gaining a lot of traction. betty thompson talks about it. but you know me. i am skeptical about the ladder. >> the committee has decided that they are definite going to send it to mccarthy. we've also learned to jim jordan, scott perry. people who previously tried to get them to come in for a voluntary deposition or some type of other interview, to see what they go for the investigation. they are now also looking at in

light of the text messages with mark meadows, that were leaked, so people like marjorie taylor greene, but brooks, pedrosa. those people now on the target list of the committee, because they want to capitalize on the public pressure that is a building on these members of congress, because the public knows that they are in costly communication with the white house chief of staff, trying to overturn the election. and so far, nothing has come of that. >> gotcha. i recently asked legal analyst another was out of my show why is the point of sending letters to witnesses who we can reasonably anticipate will either not show up, show up answering questions, or invoke the fifth amendment right and get self incriminating? the answer so far is that it is the investigative process, and it has to look throwing complete. you go, the clock is fast running out with the november midterms just around the corner. with promises of public hearings in june why do we go through what is clearly just a performative step, at this point? when that just subpoenaed him

to appear, and if they don't, refer them to the d.o.d.? >> good question. part of what is happening is they are trying to do several things at once. they are trying to completely deposition. trying to complete their planning for the public hearing. and also trying to wrestle with this question of, are we going to subpoena our fellow -- because the members of congress are particularly speech and debate clause, and even wider protection. they can say stuff out of the event on the morning of january 6th, and not face any legal recrimination. so i think that this is a way to buy time for the committee, and for the. members and for them to, think right, if they defy our latest letter, maybe this is the time that we can move forward with subpoenas. i will say that based on my sources the mood on the committee has shifted this last week. there has been more of an impetus to get these people in. and if it takes a subpoena, they may well do. it but as you say, the issue is, if you issue a subpoena, you have to enforce. it if you try to have a, subpoena you have to quarter and support it.

>> a few minutes ago, you mention the fact they are basing this new round of letters on the lead text messages. the leaked audio from the mccarthy tapes. it is a leaked. that is what they are basing it on. all that to, say they did not have it before. the january six committee, that is. if they're billing this investigation in fact finding hobby, how is it supposed to be reassuring to the american public? that the committee is getting all the information that needs to and from the united states public about what happened that day? >> well, we don't know if they have a text messages, or what the situation is. from what we understand, these text messages are with the committee obtained from mark meadows. the committee has certainly had somewhat these messages. they've held on to them from november to december when meadows sourced furch first started cooperating with the committee. they, think now is a time to do it because this come to the public, and everyone has seen for themselves how people like marjorie taylor greene, trying

to get the white house away from marshall war. because there is this public outrage, i think they want to move from that. >> you can, very quickly. i want to follow up on that question with you. do you have insight from your reporting and your investigation as to why they didn't just make some efforts back in january? why they were waiting for the public to have an outcry over the release of these things to be able to afford what is clearly a procedural step that they have to do? >> they descend meadows. they did send letters to kevin mccarthy. but we are back at this stage. again i don't know what the situation is. i think the members were reluctant, back in january, to actually subpoenaed these members. now they are in a different mindset. this is a new way to convince themselves that, yes they can go ahead with subpoenas. but this is the trouble. the numbers do not go after other members, because they're fared of the next congress. they don't want to have republicans going after biden. this is not a criminal investigation. this is a -- investigation. i think that is a problem.

and we will stand with ukraine until victory is won. >> the congressman was assuring ukrainians that they have the full support of the american people. pelosi's delegation is now in poland for a meeting with the president out of that country, which has been at the center of a massive humanitarian effort. pelosi's visit comes amid a new threat from russia. therefore minister warning that any weapon shipments into ukraine are, quote, fair game to target. the united states is undeterred. supplied billions in military aid msnbc news correspondent courtney -- has more. >> this giant cargo plane is loaded with lethal and vital cargo, destined for the ukrainian military. every few hours at the dover airspace airport, this cargo departs with civilians. with president biden pledging another 20 billion dollars on u.s. security assistance of this week, the u.s. military as working overtime to deliver. this is ammunition for 155

million howitzers. large artillery pieces, which u.s. officials hope will stop russia's new advance in the east of ukraine. >> we are in the cargo hold of this 7:47. it can hold about 42 pilots like these, each of these carry 72 artillery rounds. we are talking about about 3000 rounds in this plane. they are being loaded and. now they could be in the hands of the ukrainian military in just a day or two. >> this is a second mission for tim sherman and felicia lorries, former military pilots. >> what is it like to fly a giant aircraft full of explosives? >> i mean you obviously know that there are explosives down there. >> -- it's the way to, be and that's it. >> just to take off nice and easy and land nice and easy, so you don't have any heavy cargo shifted during the process. >> >> reporter: every, day on our tractor-trailers arrive

packed with explosives. mo deepest across the country, lineup the dover, dubbed the sea report for military equipment to ukraine. >> we've moved over 7 million pounds of equipment to ukraine, over 700 missions. >> commander -- commands the maintenance group at dover. >> can you walk us through some of the weapons that you have moved out of here in eastern europe? >> we have moved anything from nine millimeter pistols to javelins to stinger missiles. >> reporter: those javelins and stingers have been instrumental in taking it russian tanks and planes. it is a fast-paced ballet of lethal weapons, in a giant mechanized warehouse. >> i see it on the news, that they are actually using the equipment that we are sending out. >> when you are they want to help them, it just feels good. >> reporter: it takes about ten hours to fly the drop off point in poland. how do weapons then get to ukraine's classified, for fear russian attacks. >> aren't you worry that all that when you fly these, things you could be a target for

russia? >> is the possibility, yes. but you can think about that, ever. >> courtney colby, nbc news, dover airspace. >> our thanks to courtney qb for that report. russia's attempt to attack any trends but they believe is carrying weapons to ukraine, comes with president biden additional a second 33 billion dollars in military and humanitary aid for ukraine. at just a 67, russian forces continue to assault the southern and eastern flanks of the ukraine, as part of a massive military operation to seize the region. for more now, this we are joined by retired general lori robinson. united states pacific command air components, and pacific air forces commander. she was also the first female combatant commander. general, thank you for being here this morning. in courtney colby's piece, you saw all of that age. or was part of the aid looks. like that we are sending to ukraine. and president biden just requested an additional 33 billion dollars in military equipment and aid to send

overseas. but, is a u.s. putting itself at risk by sending so much equipment to the ukraine? is there a backfill problem that we are going to have, because this is coming out of the war reserve? >> well, good morning katie. how are you this? morning thank you so much for having me on. i can only imagine the conversations that are happening in the department of defense. as ukraine's requests come in, i can only imagine that the service chiefs along with the chairman of the joint chiefs can sit back and look at what is being requested. because the service chiefs only capability and they own the capacity, and they also understand the acquisition of follow-up on things. and they understand what is needed for equipment, and what they have inside the service. and they talk about their capability and capacity. not just for today, but for the future. and then, i am sure it goes into the combatant commanders, and how does that affect the combatant commanders and their claims?

and finally, between these two conversations, i am sure there is a conversation about risk. what is the risk to our capability, why is the risk to our capacity? both today and in the future. and that conversation, it then goes forward to assess what we can support, and should support. but let us not forget one thing, katie. i think it is very important. it is not just the united states that is supplying acquit much to the ukrainians. it is also other countries around the world. we read and saw the other day that secretary austin held a great meeting of folks all around the world. and people throw to the world have promised and committed to providing capability. >> general, i want to switch for a moment to strategy. russia is relentlessly targeting the south in the eastern ukraine. where do you see this war heading? >> i think it is just as everybody has articulated. trying to build this corridor,

if you will, on the east. and trying to take that. so that they have the ability to have a port city. and expand their reach. >> the united states generals also providing detailed intel to the ukrainians about the location of russian missiles and bombs, providing increasing amount of military aid to ukraine. the united states is also training ukrainian soldiers, now in germany. do you think that we, is the united states, are running the risk of this kind of assistance being viewed as provocation by russia? therefore justifying some type of a direct attack on the united states or american forces? >> first of all, let's talk about the training. i think that is incredibly important. we can talk about the equipment all we want. but what is important is the ability for them to use the equipment. and so, the fact that the

ukrainian counterparts were reunited with the florida guard to continue the training that was happening before the unprovoked invasion by russia to ukraine, is a highly important. and so the that's training is a great. as far as what the russians will do, i will not speak for them or their capabilities, but i'm sure they are trying very hard just to point out all of the things that's they can to make a second guess our support of ukraine. as we just saw, speaker pelosi and her delegation, everybody throughout the united states and the administration, our country has said they want to support for ukraine's unrelenting. >> retired general lori robinson, we appreciate your insight and your time this morning. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> coming up, inside a massive investigative report with the new york times, fox news host tucker carlson. it claims that carlson talked into a growing sentiment of why

by the new york times. another quote from that analysis. mr. carlson has constructed one to maybe the most racist show in the history of cable news. 14 new york times journalists reviewed every single episode of tucker carlson's fox news show, to analyze patterns. more than 1100 bought were viewed in all. here is just some of what they found. carlson uses the narrative of they, meaning the so-called ruling class or anything they don't like. and you, the fox news audience, are overwhelmingly white and older. the poll found that carson talked about the ruling class in more than 800 shows out of 1150. the times also reports of that carlson regularly invokes the conspiracy theory known as replacement theory. the racist theory that immigration and falling birth rates mean that white people are being replaced. that narrative was found in more than 400 of the episodes.

another interesting trend reported by the times. times reporters counted the words in every one of tucker's monologues. in fountains the of gotten much longer over the last two years. you can see in the graph on the screen. the show has increasingly become tucker speaking directly to his viewers. in a statement to the times the senior production of tucker's show said that the show, quote, embraces diversity of thought in various points of view. carlson himself declined to be interviewed for the new york story. tuberculosis down with me i'm proud to welcome my friend, host of the woke a podcasting co-host of democracy-ish. so, is tucker carlson dangerous? especially with these rumors swirling about the possible 2024 presidential run? >> icing for the longest time, katie, that not only is tucker

carlson dangerous, so is the entire -- of fox news. we use news in quotations. the belief here that we have seen, and i personally have no shade in the new york times, but did we need a three part series to show us that tucker carlson is racist? we could've done that in a 62nd clip. we could've done that in a tweet. frankly. what i would have liked to see is a deep dive into three part series into understanding white supremacy in the united states. we talk about nativism. we talk about nationalism. but we don't really understand, right the danger in the damage that white supremacy has done in this country. not only in acts of domestic white terrorism, from bombings to lynchings two shootings, which we have seen all throughout our history, and in modern times. but also the emotional damage, the economic damage, that

racism has done in this country. that, to me, warrants a three part series. other than delving into the mind of tucker carlson. >> yes, but danielle, along the vein of your question, of one out no more but the weights were mostly concept, the times i talked to a former white nationalist was disavowed at the movement. he says that having tucker there are klete pulling from those talking points makes white nationalists feel like they must be right. he will like david duke and white nationalist unacquainted is openly praised nicholson on their. show so danielle, do you think the tigers are viewers are aware where those narratives are coming from? >> i think that they absolutely are aware. we keep making a part and parcel as if there is something that is different from tucker carlson and the fridge. they are one and the same. many years ago, or what seems like many years ago, when barack obama was president, and fox news began to ramp up their belief around birtherism, they

started to slowly trickle in. and we can want to tell ourselves, no, this is not who republicans are. this is just a fringe. well, fast forward, we have the marjorie taylor greene to the, world the tucker carlson's of the world's, matt gates and -- hawthorne. these are the faces of the republican party. many of them came out of the qanon conspiracy land. and so, slower and slower, and then ramped up into where we are right now, where there is no difference between what we heard and the senate confirmation hearings for judge brown jackson. and the talking points around pedophilia, which are part of qanon's base theory. what was coming into the emails of the american senators. and so you see that very same. thing where they get their talking points? from tucker carlson. it is this feedback loop that we have seen as white supremacy has grown. for a very short time, for four

years, we have donald trump as their chief commander of white supremacy, having a direct line to the american people, from the white house. we kept saying, we don't know what isn't donald trump's heart, as he is telling folks to stand back and stand by. so,, tucker carlson is the media, part and parcel of that drive, to scare the american people and create this narrative of fear of replacement. like we said at the top of the show. >> along that being of the fear that you just mentioned, there is no they're trying to the time that was spotted in this analysis. tucker carlson warns that the collapse of the west, or even of all civilization, in almost 600 episodes. danielle, one is the best way, in your opinion, to combat this misinformation? because it is blatant fearmongering, right? >> it is blatant fearmongering. and here is the thing. what scares me about this,

katie, is that facts no longer apply. so when we want to present an in-depth series like the new york times has done, we want to present bullet points and facts, but we are talking to people who have literally created their own alternative universe, where they alone are the aggrieved. where they alone, somehow, as a majority of white people who hold all avenues of power, hold all institutions of power, are somehow victims in this country. and so, how do you combat that? i would say to continue to tell the truth. but it is where and how. i think we need to show the economic devastation that comes from this type of racism. how violence comes from this type of racism. because you see that we again wanted to have this narrative that the people who stormed the capitol building, the people who try to violently overturn an election, were somehow just swept up in a motion. no.

these are people who were charged up by tucker carlson by fox news. by donald trump. and all of his acolytes. and yet we say, pour them. we should be more empathetic. we need to understand what is going on in their mind. what is going on in their mind is that they are racist. and then racism is being stoked on national television, day in and day out. and it is turning to violence. and that violence is going to grow until many people, apparently, have to die, in order for us to open up our eyes and say this is not just entertainment the fact is, tucker carlson should come with a warning label. that he is for entertainment purposes. much in the same way that we use and c-17, that, we say, this show his new yorker saying. why do we do that with tucker carlson and fox news? >> it looks like it is a revolving door of racism, danielle. we appreciate you taking the time to break it down for us. thanks coming up next, a murder

we've been watching a true crime drama playing out in realtime. manhunt is underway for an escaped inmates. accused and charged with two counts of capital murder. and a female corrections officer who was supposed to be guarding him, she is missing to. in may case equal weight in assistant director of corrections vicky wright went missing from the lauderdale county center last night. yes i have the same name. no they are not related. investigators now believe that the officer may have been in on the escape. what is unclear is whether she willingly helped the inmate escape, or was forced to assist him. 12 answer some of our many questions is lauderdale county sheriff rick singleton. sheriff, good morning. i know you are busy so i am very appreciative for your time first off, update us on the latest investigations this morning in what you know so par about the timeline of this case. >> well, this happened to

friday morning. and director white left at the detention center with the inmate. allegedly being taken to the courthouse, for rental evaluation. that was strictly against policy. all inmates, especially somebody accounting for murder, we just had two men leave the detention center for the courthouse, with a total of about 12 inmates, both of those voted for about two -- per policy. the director of operations for the -- chief coordinator. when she came to have the deputy removed from his cell, preparing for transport, she handcuffed him and put leg armors on him. preparing him for transport. told the officer that she would

want to drop him off at the courthouse. and turn him over to another deputy. and she wanted to go through the main trust, because she did not see him. while she left for the center at 9:41, never arrived at the courthouse. which was only four blocks away. and later, we know her vehicle that she drove was found in a shopping center parking lot on the east side of town, about two miles from the detention center. we know it was there at 11:00 a little after the officer saw it there. from there, the assumption was, in a matter of fact there were some mixed messages from her director, checking on her healthwise. and he did not get any response the first time he told her, i guess you are still in court. i will get back with you later. and tried to text her later. i see you are homesick, hope you're feeling better. it's gotta.

then by about 3:30, one of the booking officers came to the other assistant director, and told her she had been trying to turn on her and talk to her, and that her phone had gone right to voice mail. at that time, that was hard. >> i appreciate this a share of. talks are important. we want you to quickly ask, you know. the fact it was when officer's new policy, that you need two deputies, does not point you towards the idea that she was perhaps a part of this escape of this capital murder inmates? >> at this time, we definitely think she participated. whether she willingly participate or was coerced, we don't know. >> she was armed. is there a suggestion to the population at large, the community at large, that people could be armed like this officer was. >> absolutely. not just armed, but armed and

extremely dangerous. only a capital murder charge. he was the head of the committee, attempted murder earlier from the county. accused of a crime spree in that county. that is also the year that our homicide happened. taking account of the murder for one of four investigations. so, yes he is extremely dangerous. not only to the public, but other law enforcement officers, if they need to be extremely careful. >> sheriff, again, i know that you and your team are investigating this, and you are definitely participating in this, that is why i appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to join us this morning. >> thank you. >> coming up how a charity in poland is helping animals impacted by the ukraine crisis. later, our segments. pick of the litter.
