plus, canada has a new gun ban, and if they can pass restrictions in the wake of a buffalo uvalde shooting is happening in our country, why can't we? i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. >> tonight, a new bombshell development in the january six committee investigation. days before the committee's first primetime public hearing, a federal grand jury has entitled former trump white house advisor, peter navarro, for contempt of congress. navarro is set to face two counts. one for his failure to produce documents to the committee, and a second, before failing to appear for a death of -- he is now the second former trump advisor to be indicted for criminal contempt in congress. in connection with this investigation. presidential advisor, steve bannon, indicted on similar charges in november.

it now appears navarro, in fact, will be the last person indicted. why? because on friday, the justice department said, they will not file criminal contempt charges against trump's ethics chief of staff, mark meadows, or dance give enough, for their refusal to cooperate with the committee's investigation. they call the decision not to indict meadows, and scavino, quote, puzzling. we are such learn more about trump, and his company's efforts to overturn the last election during the committee's public hearing, which got underway thursday. we should note, the groundwork has been laid for graham to. new things showed by's future election results. recruit, and install, party trained volunteers, and poll workers, in democratic majority areas. where they have the authority to challenge any vote they deem suspicious. now, the alleged voter fraud

would then be documented by party friendly attorneys, and used by a network of district attorneys to effectively block votes. according to the election integrity director in michigan, they are gearing up for war. >> truly, it will be an army. we will try to recruit lawyers, we will have more lawyers than we've ever recruited, that's where we, thought right? we're gonna have lawyers at work early to build relationships with different judges, so that when that happens, we're going to have lawyers that have relationships with the police chiefs in the different areas, with the police officers and different areas. so, that happens with those pre-existing relationships already being established. >> this isn't new, this scheme has been circulated by steve bannon, and even trump himself, at one point. we are just four months away from elections, and it's unclear, if you haven't understood this by now, 2020 was a dry run.

i know you've heard it before on this program, but it is not hyperbole to say that our democracy is on the line this election. as we approach next week's hearings, it's important to remember one thing. a major goal of the january six committee investigation is to ensure that what we survive in 2020 never happens again. let's begin with rhode island congressman, david cicilline, sitting on the judiciary committee, serving as a manager for trump's second impeachment trial. congressman, great to see you again, thank you for joining us on the program. first, i want to get your reaction to those contempt charges that were filed against peter navarro. we will get to meadows, and scavino, in a second. what do you make of the charges, specifically, against peter navarro? >> it's very important. look, the january six commission has been doing incredibly important work, they've been doing it in a serious, and bipartisan way. general thompson has done an extraordinary job, as well as all the members of the select

committee. what is very clear, as we now have a justice department that is willing to enforce the rule of law. you can't just tell me or knows that a lawfully issued subpoena, and refused to produce documents, or appear as you are required. there are two individuals now who have attempted to do that, and they've been charged by federal indictment. they ought to be held accountable. congress would have the ability to any of this work, any of its oversight work, if witnesses, particularly from an administration, simply declined to come, and can't be forced to do so. this is an important victory for the rule of law, and for the congressional oversight responsibilities in this committee, and that congress has generally. >> an important victory for rule of law. certainly, one that was helped the committee, and everybody who's following this. on the other side of this very same coin, the doj informed the select committee, they will not indict meadows, and scrub you know. yeah, like navarro, they were both found in contempt of

congress for stonewalling the investigation. what is your reaction to that? what message does it send that a congressional subpoena can go unanswered? are you at all worried that this could disincentivize future cooperation, with other congressional investigations? >> certainly, i hope not. i think is the committee said, it is puzzling to figure out why that charges not been brought against mr. meadows, and mr. scavino. in fact, there were some early indications of mark meadows was, actually, cooperating. there were some documents, and there may be some claim that they have asserted that the department of justice would think the value is a privilege. it may feel like it doesn't have any additional information, it's puzzling, and it's hard to guess, and we will continue to make referrals of any witness service and we expect the

justice department to make those prosecutions come forward. >> as we mentioned, the january six committee wants to prevent is learning what's happening in 2020, and any future attempt to overturn our election. we have our bombshell political report this week, that had uncovered a multi-pronged scheme, by republican party operatives, and several swing states, to contest elections. how does congress balance investigating the events, surrounding the 2020 election? at the same time, this is the election subversion that is taking place in plain sight, quite honestly. right now, ahead of our midterms. >> you are right. we need to do both things. you are right when we said earlier, democracy is on the ballot. we have a major political party in this country, the party who worked in concert with members of the trump administration, to attempt to overturn the free, and fair election in american

history, according to trump officials. even though they lost the presidential election. that is a very shocking, and dangerous behavior. they are now making efforts to fill a secretary of state positions, with people who believed the big lie who are loyal to donald trump, and this cult. we ought to be very concerned, and make sure we are not electing people who don't respect our democracy, and respect our elections, and the results of our elections. this is a multi front battle. you are right, we need to find out, and the american people need to understand in january six, and a legislatively, it can never happen again in this country. at the same time, we need to elect people who protect the integrity of our elections at the state, and local levels we. have to do both things, and risk things between right now, because these folks are busy at

work, trying, desperately, to undermine our elections, and install people who didn't win, like donald trump, back into power. >> every week that goes by, and it's almost been two years, we learn more about what happened in 2020. yesterday, you had the new york times reporting, just one day before the attack on the capitol, marc short, pence's chief of staff at the time, told the secret service, he feared for the presidents safety. he warned them of a security risk at the time, and as i mentioned, you were a manager for trump's second impeachment trial. do you believe that if this information came to light, it would have had an impact on the results of the impeachment? >> i don't think so. the evidence of donald trump's culpability was overwhelming. we presented overwhelming evidence that the former president incited a violent insurrection against government of the united states. all of the people who voted not guilty so that a former president cannot be impeached,

which was untrue. i don't think anyone is disputing the facts. what's important about the january six committee is they have had a year to collect evidence. they've deposed, or interviewed, 1000 witnesses. connecting 136,000 documents. there is a lot of detail about the planning, the financing, the execution of this scheme. when this verstappen, people claimed, oh, these are people who just got carried away, and now, of course, nothing could be further from the truth. this was planned, and executed, and involve people at the highest levels of the trump administration. every single person, including the president of the united states, needs to be held accountable. we need to do everything we can to make certain that this could never happen again in the united states of america. >> this entire world, on this entire country will see what the committee has learned, come january 6th, come this thursday. david cicilline, always good to see you, appreciate your time. coming up, the surprising trump official who spoke of the

committee interviewed one of the highest ranking ex trump officials, former attorney general bill barr. he met with the panel for roughly two hours. after the 2020 election, it is reported that trump liberated bill barr repeatedly to get the justice department to declare the 2020 election stolen are rigged. outside of washington -- seems to be getting a head start on getting efforts to steal the upcoming 2022 elections. right now, clint mitchell, a conservative lawyer, one of the key architects of the big lie, is on a country wide tour of assembling election deniers to watch over the process of the midterms. this would be a good reminder

to everyone that even trump officials could find zero evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. let's discuss this more with joe one banks and also with us, barbara mcquade, a u.s. attorney. luckily for us, they are both msnbc legal analysts. jill, i would like to start with you with something i was discussing with congressman cicilline there about the discrepancy, if you will, about what we saw charged with former trump advisor, peter navarro, with his contempt of converse. yeah at the same time, not seeing charges leveled against mark meadows or dance give you know. how would you explain that, if at all? >> let me say, i don't agree with that decision to start. but then let me try to say, what's possible differences does the department of justice miami found? they said they made these

decisions based on the individualize facts and circumstances for each of the four people that were being considered. the difference is that it is clear that navarro waived any privilege that he might have had with his public statements in his book and appearing on this channel with our email berg. there was no privilege. but, on the other hand, meadows, for example, gave a lot of documents. that could have been seen as a waiver but all of those had nothing to do with the president. they were conversations between meadows and some other person, ginni thomas, members of congress, but not necessarily with the president. i think there is an exception that should be applied, which is crime fraud to these discussions. these have nothing to do with the job of the chief of staff to help in an insurrection. i think that it should have been applied. his indictment should have been

seen as valid as much as the boroughs. as for scavino, i cannot explain why he is different than navarro's or bannon's. navarro was in the white house, bannon was not. but once you get inside the white house and say that someone can be subpoenaed and indicted for obstruction, well then, why not scavino and why not meadows? >> yeah, i know, i think it is a lot of questions that we are having. it seems to be a little bit confusing. barb, let me get your take on this, what do you make of this discrepancy between the charges of peter navarro and at the same time, not charging meadows and scavino? >> i think it is disappointing for anybody that wants to hear the truth. i think most of us do. i do know, as jill said, with the justice department said in the letter, it was based on individualize facts and circumstances. you can see some differences between all of them. in addition, you have to prove

that contempt of congress is not that you just failed to comply with subpoena, but you did so willfully. what you knew you were doing was illegal. if you thought you had some plausible claim of privilege, i think you could make an argument at a trial that you at least for what you were doing was protected under the law. then there is the office of legal counsel policy that says when executive branch officials rely on executive privilege is, they should not be charged in contempt of congress. there also could be strategic reasons. if what they really want is the testimony of these two men, by that i mean meadows and scavino, then the last thing that they want to do is charged them with crimes. once he charged them with crimes, it is about seeking punishment and making an example of them. for bannon and navarro, they have been so reckless in their statements, i think the justice department is done with them. they said, we will never use you as a witness. we will prosecute you. you will be punished and made an example of.

i think with meadows and scavino is that there is still hope that they might get information out of them. or, it is possible for them to be perceived not as witnesses but potential defendants in a larger criminal conspiracy case. >> joe, i want to ask you about the other big news this week. it was this report in political about what the republican party is doing beyond washington d.c. efforts. there are efforts across the country to subvert the next election. you have this conservative lawyer mitchell who is on a nationwide tour to turn election conspiracists into poor monitors. you had the rnc get in on the action with their multi million dollar investment and 18 states hiring so-called election integrity deniers and lawyers. they recruited more than 5000 poll watchers, nearly 12,000 poll workers. explain something to me here, all of this is illegal, right?

these are important parts of our election process, our democracy. poll watchers, poll workers, we need them. we need them to be bipartisan. what is happening is that one party is basically recruiting conspiracy theorists who believe that the previous election was stolen to try to sow confusion and chaos to overturn the next election. how concerned are you? is there anything to be done to prevent it from happening? >> that is a great question, ayman. it is of great concern to me. i am very worried about recruiting election deniers. that is what they are doing. there is nothing wrong with a party training people to be election workers. there should be an equal number of democrats and republicans who are workers at the polls. this is different than being an election monitor or judge. this is being paid by the state to represent the voters and help voters get their vote in.

but when they are being trained to do a disruption, when they are being trained to call republican lawyers, when they are being trained to build relationships with friendly da's who can disrupt the vote, that becomes an interference with our election process that cannot be contained. the election workers must be bipartisan neutral -- nonpartisan would be a better word. they should not have a political agenda. they should call the secretary of state for whom they work, they should not be calling their party for help and trying to disqualify voters. it is very scary, and it is part of what's happened in the last election, where they were practicing. where they were trying to accomplish something. now they have better preparation, and they might succeed. this is very scary. i think we need to watch this very closely, and that the

democratic party has to train its people, who are going to be election workers, poll workers, that they will be able to deal with the destruction that could ensue. >> barbara, let me ask you real quickly if i can about the attorney, former attorney general, bill barr. he left the administration before january the six. but he held his position as our nation's top law enforcement officer during a critical period of the 2020 election. he is obviously on the outs with donald trump because he refused to say that the election was stolen, or that there was evidence of voter fraud. we'll kind of information could he have shared of significance with the committee this week? >> i think the most important thing that william barr could shed light on is trump's knowledge of whether there was in fact election fraud. we know from his own book and interviews about his book that there was a conversation where william barr told him that

election fraud was bs, that there was no merit to it, that they investigated all the claims and he refused to file a lawsuit in the supreme court on trump's behest. it was in that moment that he and trump had a very heated exchange. barr offered his resignation. earlier than all the other administration officials, who stayed to the end. i think that is the part that they are most interested in. we kind of know what happened, but we do not know what was trump's intent at the time when these things are happening. and i think that we can find issued by on the, who talk to him and what he believed regarding election fraud is really important. william barr has important evidence to demonstrate that trump absolutely did know that there was no fraud in this election. the only fraud was his own claim that the election was stolen by joe biden. >> barbara mcquade, jill wine-banks, thanks to the both of you for your insights, as always, really appreciate it. next, debunking republican lies on control.

president biden's message during his primetime address to the nation, begging congress to take action to prevent more mass shootings. biden called for a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines to be reinstated and said that if that cannot be done, and he cannot get that done, then the minimum purchasing age for semiautomatic rep and should be raised from 18 to 21-year-olds. he called for strengthening background checks for red flag laws to be enacted an immunity that shields gun manufacturers from liability to be repealed. after outlining his plan, biden asked what congress will do? joining me now is elizabeth williamson, a writer for the new york times and author of sandy hook, the american

tragedy and battle for truth. elizabeth, thank you for joining us. you studied the sandy hook school and disinformation campaign up all that, the ones that we have all seen, the alex jones and the likes. what jumped out to you as similar between the dip in permission of that tragedy and the disinformation that we have now seen after uvalde? >> that, thanks ayman. it is really disheartening because within hours of the uvalde shooting, you saw the exact same pattern of disinformation spreading, except that had a couple additional features. after sandy hook, this is utterly new. this is something that was seen as a real anomaly, that people would spread the lie that sandy hook never happened and that it was a gambit by the obama administration forge accordion run measures. now, what we see is that this happens after every

high-profile mass shooting and after uvalde, you see some of this echoed by people at the top of our country's leadership, some members of congress, former president trump, all kind of flooding the zone with this information about the shooting, casting doubt on who the shooter was. and then engaging americans in kind of useless arguments about things like whether every school should have one door. this is all impeding the national conversation that we need to have around gun policy. >> yeah, of course, everybody remembers ted cruz going to school and talking about how backdoor should be locked. correct me if i am wrong here, after sandy hook, it seemed like it was alex jones and maybe a few youtube commentators or conservative commentator spreading these insane lies about sandy hook. now, it seems like members of congress are in on this conspiracy theory and

disinformation. right after uvalde, you had representatives marjorie taylor greene pushed this false narrative about the shooter that he was trans, and it was fueled by gender ideology and all these other motivating factors behind the shooting. what has happened here? were prominent republicans talking about this after sandy hook, and i just missed it, or? >> no, ayman, it was really not happening after sandy hook. you did see that it was a fridge phenomenon. it was alex jones and some people online that gained some tragic because of the nature of their theories, they gathered online and fed each other theories. these are not people really known to us. it did grow into quite a phenomenon. through 2013, 2014, 2015, there were thousands of people online talking about this and saying

that the sandy hook shooting was a hoax, and that it was a false flag staged by the government. as i mentioned, it started to attach itself to that kind of theorizing after every kind of high-profile mass shooting. you've all day to me is a new thing. this is something where you see the spread of conspiracy theorizing like the coronavirus and, just in your last segment, around the elections. this is the same kind of phenomenon. it is a muddying the waters. it is almost a tribal signifier that you would spread disinformation after a massive shooting. >> yeah, and after uvalde, as i mentioned, you talked about door policy here. after uvalde, we have seen in other bizarre disinformation talking point by republicans, the door control, if you will, hysteria. at the 2015 santa fe high school shooting, texas senator, dan patrick, suggested that too

many entrances and exits played a role in that school shooting. now, it has actually become a gop policy talking point. what is going on here when you have republicans standing up and say that we need to have one door? we need to have all back doors locked. we need tighter security, armed guards, arm teachers, really fortifying our school, so to speak. >> yeah, that is one aspect. the more people you have arguing about that and trying to debunk those themes, the less people are engaged in the kind of meaningful debate that we really need to have around gun policy. i think all sides, both sides can understand that something is wrong when this is happening, when we are having an average of two mishitting the day. instead of having that constructive debate that the president was asking for the other night, what we are doing is arguing online about things like that. the other thing that is an interesting theme that came up

is an absolute echo of sandy hook is the idea that there should be armed personnel in every school. that's up after sandy hook, and we see after uvalde. >> yeah, they want teachers to be walking around with assault rifles and gun strapped to their belt so that they can sue anybody that comes through the door. i think it is a recipe for disaster. elizabeth williamson, thank you so much for your time. i appreciate your insight and reporting on this. next, on the front in ukraine 100 days later. 100 days later

unlikely to force russian forces out of the country anytime soon. president zelenskyy says that ukraine is losing 60 the 61 soldiers per day, and that russia now controls 20% of ukraine's territory. as it stands, it seems likely that the war that has lasted 100 days could actually drag on for another hundred, if not more. we are joined now by volodymyr omelyan, a former infrastructure minister for ukraine. sir, thank you for joining us. what is the state of the psyche of ukrainians that have now endured and survived 101 days of russian assault on their country? >> good afternoon, ayman. think you formed a meteor show. definitely, people are desperate. . i can hardly imagine civilians to meet the challenges of war in europe. ukrainians fighting back in a

very strong way, and russia failed all its plans. whatever putin says and whatever russia claims, the main goal of this was to capture all of ukraine, in order to destroy the state and the european union. but nothing came out of this, and right now, putin is desperately fighting to get another piece of donbas and ukrainian territory. unfortunately, he does it in a brutal way, saying that he will destroy cities and villages to the ground. he puts and kills tens of thousands of civilians. >> what is your understanding of what ukraine needs at the moment? do you feel that ukraine is getting enough help militarily, financially, resource wise, if you will, from both europe and

united states, or could there be more that ukraine wants that it is not getting it? >> first of all, we are very grateful for you and the united states to join ukrainians in its battle in europe. it was very difficult to sandy challenges. what we need right now is more weapons. we are very grateful for what we got. a recent statement by mr. biden in congress -- it is very good in the world scenario, but we need hundreds and thousands of them because russia is striking ukrainian territory with thousands of rockets every day. we need to have enough weapons to fight them back. >> given that the shift in russian strategy has now

focused on the eastern part of the country, i want to revisit this new york times piece that was published last week talking about the pros and cons of russia's shrinking war, and its emphasis on the donbas region. what is your take, or what do you think will happen now that russia has focused its attention on the eastern part of the country? is their way to reverse that strategy for the russians? >> no chance. putin stream is to capture all of europe. it is not about ukraine. his dream was not to get some kind of peaceful arrangement of this war or any kind of compromise. his dream is to fight ukraine. unfortunately, i don't see a possibility to stop russia from occupying another country. it is not only ukraine, but only to fight russia back and

stop moscow in military means. after that, when putin is this place and another democratic leader, if it happens, comes to power in russia, we can start some negotiations and what to do with new russia. but, you know, we gave them a lot of chances in the past. after world war ii, after the fall of the soviet union, we left a lot of money to put democracy in russia. unfortunately, it went the wrong way. putin spent all of that money to get new weapons and fight democracy. >> let me ask you if i can, finally, i mentioned that you are the former minister of infrastructure, what would it take in your area of expertise to rebuild everything that has been destroyed by russia in this war? what is the help of this growing certain infrastructure like bridges to stop russia in

its tracks to take ukraine to come out -- how many years or decades overtop about here for ukraine to return to its former self? >> if we talk purely about infrastructure, i would say that it would cost 100 billion dollars. it would take between 5 to 10 years to rebuild. the ministry remains the same, will be next? if we rebuild a bridge, and russian bombs the bridge in one year or ten years, there is no sense. that is why i believe that until ukraine joins nato and the european union and build strong democracy with strong army in the eastern europe to protect nato and the european union, there is no chance for development. -- the issue of soviet empire should be forgotten. then we can think about

progress and development. >> yeah, and, of course, you can rebuild bridges and roads, but you can never rebuild the lives of a generation of ukrainians who not only lost loved ones but have suffered tremendously. volodymyr omelyan, think you for joining us, i appreciate it. best of luck to you. next, the dangerous consequences of overturning roe v. wade could have on our military. we will tell you about that. ut that. among my patients, i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. open. it's a beautiful word. neighborhoods "open". businesses "open". fields "open". who doesn't love "open"? offices. homes. stages. possibilities.

pregnancy. not only that, but gave birth to my rapist baby because in 1995, when i was serving in the navy in orlando, i was violently raped. i was drugged and raped. that crime resulted in a pregnancy. and i did not have a safe place to report that assault, so because revote was still in place, i was able to walk off base in my spare time and seek abortion care and other kinds of counseling. i am terrified that if roe is overturned, that will not be an option. as you know, it is not easy to just leave base and travel when you are in the military. it can get very complicated. >> the thing is that access to abortion is already limited for women in the military right now. abortion is not already allowed to be performed at military facilities.

the cost the procedures at private facilities are not covered by troops health and sharon's because of the high amendment that prohibits the use of federal dollars for abortion, unless the life of the mother is at risk. howell ending roe make access to abortion even harder than it is now four women serving in the military? >> that is exactly it. as he said, because of the amendment, we cannot have abortion care on military bases or sponsored by try care or the department for affairs for people out of the military. but if you are on base and in one of the states that you pointed out at the beginning of the segment, as he said, more states to come, you are not simply be able to walk off base and seek that care. you would need to take leave to travel for abortion care, but when the requests leave in the military, it has to be approved all up and down the chain of command. you have to say what you want to take leave.

you have to give reasons. sometimes, there are certain commands that only allow you to take leave and travel if you have an immediate death in the family. that is why i think it is important that we start looking at policies about granting leave to people in the military who are seeking this kind of care. >> how concerned are you about overturning roe v. wade and what it could mean for our military readiness? i think people are watching the segment and questioning, trying to connect the dots. as somebody that has studied this and knows about this, how is there a connection between that and our military readiness? >> i mean if you think about the simple fact that there would be forced birx. people who were forced to carry their pregnancies and not have the option would need to leave required to take doctor appointments for prenatal care and then post natal leave after

you have given birth. those folks would not be able to serve in their capacity that they were trained to serve in. if you take it a step further, then there is the mental health birth issue. in situations like mine, where there was an assault involved. ayman, i had to be honest, i barely made it through mental health care issues because of the assault. when you add on top of that a forced birth, which is terrifying and inhumane, and having to raise your rapist child, that can severely impact your ability to do your job. >> i can't even begin to imagine the pain and difficulty. doctor alison gill, thank you for sharing your story. thank you for your service, i greatly appreciate your time this evening as well. >> thank, you for having me. >> what can we learn from canada's gun reform, stick around. around zed this scarf?

gun laws. this week, canadian prime minister justin trudeau announced sweeping new gun restrictions in response to the massacres here in the u.s. that happened in the buffalo and uvalde. the legislation which is expected to pass will ban the sale of handguns entirely, and allow the government to buy back military style rifles from canadian citizens. the legislation also includes

the red flag laws that will enable judges to prevent individuals in danger of themselves or others from obtaining firearms. prime minister trudeau said that we need to only look south of the border to know that if we did not take action firmly and rapidly, it gets worse and worse and more difficult to counter. as great as this legislation is, we cannot necessarily look to canada as a model to fall. after all, the constitution of canada does not guarantee the right to bear arms like the u.s. constitution does. the country already has many firearm restrictions on like us. but, what we can do is praise our neighbors to the north for taking decisive action when action is warranted, and for recognizing what republicans in the country have refused to acknowledge, guns are the problem. in the next hour, we will look at what blue states are doing to counter the gop insane love for guns in this country.

as i mentioned, coming up this hour on ayman, new details on that fears mike pence's team have on the safety before the insurrection. i will speak to congresswoman jackie speier in a moment. plus, the house republican that has been forced to quit over his support for gun control in this country. then, reefer madness, the gop will blame anything and everyone but guns for our mass shooting epidemic. i am ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. we begin this hour with a stunning report from the new york times about the security risk to vice president mike pence ahead of the capital insurrection. back on january 5th of 2021, pence then chief of staff delivered an urgent warning to the head of the security detail, saying in part, quote, that the
