other politicians and officials. what is causing the spike of violent attacks targeting government officials? going one-on-one with an entire retired fbi special agents to administer the trend. and the bill passed by some ohio republicans will try to keep trans athletes out of women's sports by sending them to a doctor for a gentle inspection. on this first weekend of pride month we will analyze the gop's growing attacks on the lgbtq community. with my guests to the president and ceo of glaad. all of that and more is coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ good sunday morning to. olivia i'm katie fang. we will take into this questions with our experts later. but first, report on the ground to bring you the latest news. we begin with the january 6th hearings kicking off this

thursday in primetime. nbc's dairy gronk is on capitol hill. gary, it is always a pressure to see you. americans finally are getting a look at what the committee does kind of looking behind the curtain. what should we expect to see? >> good morning,. katie after poring over thousands of documents and hundreds of photos and videos, and even hundreds of interviews with witnesses and death depositions, the january six committee is finally ready to start presenting its findings to the american people. we are told that in a primetime event on thursday night, nbc's never before seen photos and videos and perhaps having hearing from some witnesses not all of this. this is not some fact finding a balance for the january six committee as it is a presentation to the american people. because well it is definitely a race to convince the american people to be on their side with public opinion it is also a race against time. midterms are just a few months away a republican leader kevin

mccarthy says it this leader at least in its current form of the republicans take the house in november. the other big story on capitol hill this week is of course gun legislation. what's kind of legislation congress could come up with in regards to guns. it is the protecting our children act. it passed either committee late last week. and it includes things like raising the age of semiautomatic weapons. at long high capacity magazines. increasing background checks. and cracking down on purchased and storage requirements. this is likely to pass the full house, but likely involves not feel battle in the senate. it is always creating a bit of a working group to work through some of the legislation that passed there. it is a group of several senators, including chris murphy, who says that he has a framework of sorts. this is going to be much in the middle of the road writings.

such as funding for food security, funding for mental. health red flag laws. it will be a number of weeks before anything reaches the presidents desk. >> our thanks to gary graham back live in washington. now, we also are going to have some breaking news it is coming in right now. it is from -- i am we need to get some traffic that is coming in right now. we have breaking news out of philadelphia this morning. where authorities are searching for suspects involved in a deadly shooting. police are saying they saw multiple gunman fired into a crowd of people. just before midnight. 14 people were hit. four of them died at the hospital. these are some of the first images coming into our control room right now. two guns were recovered at the scene including one with an extended magazine. we are going to keep an eye on this developing breaking news and bring you more details when

we have them. but now we are going to shift back to this stunning case out of wisconsin this morning. retired judge found that in his own home. the suspect supposedly set for the search of the berkley charge years ago. on top of that, law sources tell abc news that they found a headless from the suspect that included the names of some of the top government officials. derek brown is alive with the latest. darren, what can you tell us about this developing story, as well? >> according to, uk the police were called to the home of former judge -- after gunshot reports were heard. for nearly four, hours negotiators tried to get the judge to surrender. when they enter the home they found the 68 year old former gianna county circuit state judge that, zip ties to a chair. the alleged gunman was 56 year old douglas you day. he was discovered in the basement with an apparently self inflicted gunshot with, and is now in critical condition. they suspected now at apparently been sentenced by judge roemer in 2005.

>> this incident appears to be a targeted act and we will stress that we were not aware of any evidence that there is any immediate jiang juror to the general public. the names of the involved individuals are not going to be released currently until investigations are complete. >> according to officials of the suspect also had an alleged hit listed included some minority leader mitch mcconnell, wisconsin leader -- and governor ron which men. governor whitmer has demonstrated repeatedly that she is tough and you will not be bullied or intimidated from doing her job and working across the aisle to get things done for the people of michigan her office says. -- that she was a target of alleged kidnapping case in 2020. wisconsin's attorney general says they are not aware of any evidence indicating that there is an active danger to other individuals, and meanwhile the town of new lisbon is mourning the death of judge roemer who served his community and public

servants for decades. katie? >> our thanks to darren brown. now we are off to london, where the queen's platinum jubilee festivities are wrapping up today. many celebrations over 70-year reign have actually gotten without. her including the saturday party at the palace concert which included stars like elton john and the bandit queen. colleague beto isn't lucky to tell us about today's events kelly. ? >> you can probably hear the musical acts warming up. you can hear it in the background at buckingham palace, for what is the fourth and final day of celebrations for the swedes jubilee. celebrating those 70 years on the throne. one's plan for today? a parade snaking around these -- streets of london, and around buckingham palace. leaving that break will be a 260 year old karen. the gold state coach. the same carriage that carried queen elizabeth the second drawing her coronation back in

1963. the 96-year-old monarch has spent the last couple of days out of the public eye. buckingham palace said that she did experience some discomfort, after thursday's event when we saw her come out not once, but twice, on to the buckingham palace balcony. behind me. she has been watching a lot of the festivities from her home in windsor castle. she also made a surprise virtual appearance at the concert here in buckingham palace last night, with that other british icon, addington bear. making a nod to her bag in the secrets behind what is inside it, pulling out a marmalade sandwich. paddington bears favorite. more than a couple of hours of great musical acts from some of the music's legends, really. elton john. diana ross. rod stewart. and others. most of the royal family was asked that concert.

prince charles and prince william's both came, paying tribute. prince harry and meghan markle were not there. a spokesperson said that they chose to spend the day privately, with royal family members. sending birthday wishes on social media to their daughter, little bit, who turned one year old yesterday. today, on the final day when this parade ends, there is been a lot of speculation that the queen might appear one last time on the buckingham palace balcony. palace is not giving any hints yet about whether or not that might happen. >> our thanks to kayla cobiella. coming up, spoiler. like when you get arrested in this country, there is a very good chance to make it put in handcuffs. but that was apparently a bridge too far for trump eight peterborough when he was indicted and arrested this week. now a lawmaker is rushing to his defense, and his argument will leave you scratching your head. that is next. a bit later in the hour, a shocking new low in the gop's attack on the lgbtq community.

president there was a cancer growing on the presidency. and if the cancer was not removed, the president himself would be killed by it. >> that was an iconic moment from the 1973 watergate hearings that eventually led to president nixon's downfall. the nation was riveted by the shocking testimony and the revelations. the january six committee is hoping to do the same, when it kicks things off in primetime this thursday. some are also wondering if any of the witnesses could be the next john dean. joining me now for all of this and more, i have former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst cynthia ox me.

also with us on today is msnbc political analyst and democratic pollster, fernand amandi. thank you both for being here, for not i'll start with you. your, here in the hot spot because your hair. vice chair liz cheney says the committee needed to focus on trump's role in 16. if stephanie murphy on the committee who said no, we need to focus on failures, on intel, on what happened to be able to get their. my question for you is, how do you reconcile those competing interest to make sure that that presentation that starts on thursday, which we all know is only six hearings, only six presentations, how do you reconcile those competing interests? to make sure that america pays attention and states paying attention during these hearings? >> well, that is the question, katie, isn't it? let's set the stage. these are the most important hearings, arguably, in american history. >> no pressure. >> these will make the watergate hearings look like a tax of finance committee on a weekday. the democrats have an extraordinary opportunity but they are also played with an

extraordinary risk. simply because it's not the watergate era where you had captive audiences. where there were really only four or five networks that were broadcasting the watergate hearings and full-time. i'm of the committee, katie, january six committee hearings without january six committee indictments to followed by the department of justice is a failure. why? because the american people will just regard this as politics as usual. to your question, they competing interests, it is unbelievable to me, someone who is a democrat, that the democrats are competing with liz cheney's lead on this. liz cheney has it right, this is about donald trump. this is about the people around donald trump who, before the eyes of the world, were opened and inciting this violent riot that was an attempted coup to overthrow the united states government. anything that dilutes and takes away from that central message is not only a lost opportunity, it is a disservice to the facts,

to the truth and a delaying of the justice that needs to come out of these hearings. these again are the most important ones in american history. if the democrats blow this it may not just be blowing the elections, they may be blowing our democracy. >> cynthia, i've gotta ask you. you're a former federal prosecutor, your lawyer. you know, fernand just said you can have these hearings but if they are followed up by indictments by doj you may have just basically wasted our time. realistically, though, i know that you have been, i'll say the word, a perhaps the pace and efficacy of the garland doj so far. we just saw mark meadows, then chief of to donald trump and his deputy, dan scavino, they escaped unscathed by the doj. and then you get peter navarro, the joke that, is who gets indicted. cynthia, help us figure this out. is fernand right? that if we don't see those doj indictments that we really wasted our time? and do you think the doj is

going to do anything more than what they've done so far? >> well, i said, i'll say he is right. i do think the hearings play an important role because they provide the pressure for the doj to move. i think that is definitely true if they're compelling. but they have to do, starting thursday, just as a lawyer in this presentation. you, know you've tried cases and just so our viewers know, the back and forth of asking a witness a question at getting an answer isn't a very effective way to communicate information. so, somebody needs to start the hearings with an overview of what they've found. and some of the members have said they have all these bombshells, we need to know at some of them are. we need an overarching plan on what they're going to do in these hearings. and, then they need to go when i want to tell us about the fake electors scheme and we need to know about the tiktok on why there was an ask for the national guard at 1:00 they

didn't come until 5:40. we need that late at an amazing detail. so, on one screen is trump giddily watching television and on the other is people asking for the national guard and on another screen is the capital being breached and police officers fighting for their lives. we need to have that tiktok specifically as it relates to trump. we also need to know about the way the entire day happened and was financed and we need to know about the cover-up of the white house, on the roll. when all that comes, out as i hope it does, it will provide the pressure on justice to go forward. because i do think it is inescapable that the attorney general is so cautious that it's damaging to the country. >> fernand, it's not like trump and the gop is going to sit back and just let this happen. we've had repeated reporting now, as recently as yesterday,

republican conference chairwoman elise stefanik tells breitbart the following. i, know it's a least a sonic. but quote, we are working very closely with trump and his team, with leader kevin mccarthy, with jim jordan and really all of the house republicans will be pushing back and a rapid response fascism. adding that the areas will be a moment for maga republicans to shine. how much is this going to complicate things for the democrats? cynthia's point is well taken. as trial lawyers, and we expect this to be like a trial presentation, you've got six days. maybe cumulatively 12 hours all in, to prevent months of this. is this counter programming from the gop going to be an effective way of, as these hearings are progress mixing, pushing back in undercutting the message from the democrats? >> the answer is yes. yes but it will be affective by the gop if there are no department of justice indictments. because with the gop is trying to do is make it look like what they wanted to be, which is a

partisan food fight. as long as no one is actually having to pay the price of accountability, legally, with indictments, with the gop is going to say as this is just a witch hunt, the democrats are going after us, don't pay any attention. if this were real there would be indictments. that's why i come back to the work of the department of justice and the attorney general. why hasn't merrick garland, and my sources inside the department of, katie i know you had them as well, i telling me there is not a case being prepared against donald trump. there is a case against these low lying folks, like navarro, who basically confessed on air don't have the privilege that they're saying they have of executive privilege. but where is the investigation on the phone call, where donald trump asked the georgia secretary of state to find more votes? where is the prosecution of the mueller obstruction of justice charges -- >> three years ago. >> from three years, ago right. the fact that we're not seeing much movement on that front is very frightening prospect. and your question about what the republicans might do, it

will be effective if there is no indictments. >> but they're not here to come, fernandez, simultaneously. you're not really seen a tight-knit before thursday. so, it's around for people to continue have faith and believe that our department of justice serves the american people? and like during the trump administration wanted to assert donald trump? >> i sure hope so. i believe merrick garland is a patriot, i believe he wants to follow the rule of law and i believe most of the folks in the department of justice to you. but you heard cynthia say, at the pace is inexcusable. and we're also running up against the clock. if these indictments do not follow within a couple of months, we're going to reach a point where the department of justice, by their own bylaws, because we're in an election year, cannot do anything. we're talking something as soon as september or october. then, you can't have political indictments or stuff that would be seen as stuff because that would be -- selection. these are issues that the american people need to know about before they go about this october or november. >> talk about running up

against the clock, my team is going to get mad that i need a little more time. cynthia, i do have to ask you about this. the new york times has reported that, one day before the insurrection, marc short, chief of staff to that vice president mike pence, when the secret service that president trump was going to publicly turn against his vice president and that the vice presidents life could be at risk because of it. what does that tell you, cynthia, about trump's state of mind? his criminal intent around january 6th? and you think that will factor into the committee's investigation? >> i think it factors. i hope he's one of the first witnesses, i know he's been communicating with the committee and cooperating. he cannot only tell a, story the original story of what happened on january six, but he can also talk about the threat to pence, the cover-up, he can talk about how many times trump was told the election was not stolen. which also goes to his intent. but just think about that for a minute. the vice president of the united states was afraid of the president of the united states. let that sink in for you.

i mean, -- >> i think we've lost, i think we might have lost cynthia. cynthia ochsner, he always a pleasure to have you. i'm sorry last year connection. fernando monte, thank you for being here on set. we're all going to tune in on thursday to see the first public hearings and see if hernandez predictions hopefully don't come true. coming up, a retired judge targeted and killed in his own home. the bizarre and twisted tale of a previously jailed criminal who allegedly had a hit list of top government officials. what does that say about anti government violence in our country? coming up next. coming up next. thanks, dad. that's right, robert. and it's never too early to learn you could save with america's number one motorcycle insurer. that's right, jamie. but it's not just about savings. it's about the friends we make along the way. you said it, flo.

this, time the torgut was a retired wisconsin judge. as we reported earlier he was killed in his own home on friday. but federal law enforcement sources are telling nbc news that the suspect, had quote other high-profile officials on the so-called hit list. including senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and michigan governor gretchen whitmer. this is not a first for whitmer. foreman were accused of plotting to kidnap the governor, and work with it. of course, because example of anti government violence will retake the spotlight this week in the january six committee's first public hearing. earlier this year a poll from the washington post and university of maryland showed that about a third of americans say they believe violence against the government cannot times we justified. i want to get to the bottom of this, and here to help me do that is former fbi assistant special agent in charge, gina

osborne. gina when you see a rising number in these kinds of offenses, and it frankly looks like things are just getting worse, as line force mint, what are you looking for as far as possible causes. and what's can be done about it? >> good morning katie, thank you for having me. i would say that if you see something say something. so many times people are aware, whether these individuals or during mass shootings or having these targeted attacks, we put it on social media. or they tell their friends or family. it is just so important for people to reach or to law enforcement and let them know ahead of time. that is the only way really we are going to prevent these things. >> gina, you spent a lot of time in your career with the fbi working with cybercrimes

working with forensic cyber investigations. when it comes to crimes such as these, do you think that these are exactly where law enforcement should start? or is the fact that perhaps there was just one gunman who has been arrested as a result of this particular crime? >> well, crime happens where we live. and right now we are living on the internet. we are out there. and so the thing that really deserves me about this is the fact that all of our information is out there. with somebody like this disgruntled person. somebody who wants to retaliate against say adjudge. with these people, it is not that difficult to find people who want to find these victims on the internet on the dark web. that is what's really concerns me. we have all of our -- we live our lives on our commute computers and phones. there is so much information out there about all of us.

that information can sometimes really hurt us in the end. >> i did mention, earlier, there was that plot against gretchen whitmer in april of 2020 when armed protesters rushed into the street capitol in michigan. now, we have this latest case involving a judge in wisconsin. is a law enforcement as they conduct their investigation in this case going to be looking for a trend that is perhaps your graphically based? because we are seeing these similar cases in a condensed part of the country. well >> i don't think it is necessary lead after glee based. because it was such a targeted attack. all the we have such a small area that these things are happening in. they are happening in them across the country. that is something that we really need to look at when it comes to these threats that come out. again, it is important for log forsman to be aware and for people to report to law

horsemen what they are seeing. because although it may seem to someone that this is never going to happen, as we see, these things do happen. so it is important for people to report to law enforcement. >> in this case, dina, yes. this target was the drawbridge that sentenced this suspect to prison, previously for a burglary charge. but this hitless that was found by authorities thus far, authorities have indicated, involve somebody like mitch mcconnell gretchen whitmer, and others. what does this say to you in terms of the mindset of the perpetrator? in terms of the fact that it was a judge, a governor, a sign of their? the fact that these are government officials who are being targeted by this particular person? >> i would say that in looking at it, with a drug, considered the ritual knew the judge, it was definitely targeted. it seemed like it was retaliation. and it is very interesting when

you look at how he did. that's like going into the home in the very early morning. that is an indicator that the person may have done reconnaissance on the judge prior to it happening. also the fact that mr. woody took the time to tie the judge up. brought zip ties. this obviously was something that was premeditated. so whether or not he was to go on a spree after the fact it's still wind up with him having a self inflicted lifted gunshot wound. in the end he very well could've gone out and done these things. because he did have that last. >> we thank you. former fbi special agent gina osborn for being with us this morning. and help us work through it is at this point a preliminary investigation by law enforcement. thank you for being here. >> thanks, katie. >> so, two american billionaires say they have a bad feeling about the united states economy. what should you be worried about?

jamie diamond case. while he is essentially saying is that he sees a set of economic circumstance of the are going to require his bags to tightening their landing policies to be more conservative on landing, not so much money going, here's a higher interest rates for those who are likely to -- >> but to make a distinction between commercial lending or consumer lending? or is there no difference? >> there is a difference, but i do not think it is going to be applicable here. there is no doubt that what he says is correct. the economy at the moment looks robust. 390,000 jobs jobs added in may, as we know. unemployment rate is 3.6%, extremely low. there are 11 million job openings posted. twice as many as there are a workers seeking jobs. all of that is a very strong support for the current economy. but, the federal handouts have

ceased, as we know. consumers are dipping into savings to maintain their lifestyles. they are looking at inflation and say, i am scared, as a result of with a see at the pump. that is going to reduce my confidence as a consumer. maybe. i am not going to go out and buy that new car this year. so the economy can be slowing down. in a natural way, as a result of the evidence of inflation which causes consumers to change their behavior. but the banks do not want to risk lending in the same way as they have and consumers with a headwinds that we are facing going forward, with the ukraine war in particular, leaving a lot of things on certain with respect to commodity prices. >> i would push back, though, and say the day naturally, organically slowing economy does not necessarily equate to a recession though.

correct? >> absolutely not. and of course, the federal reserve through which methodical half point rate increases, which are going to continue until they see several months of declining inflation reports that is going to be the test as to whether or not inflation is being brought back under control. and the fat is going to methodically continue on its current path, until that sequence of inflation percentage increased reductions occurs. let's go from 8.6 to 8.3. that does not yet make a tried. we have to see multiple votes over pressured earlier duration. before the fed will relent from its policy. the fed has to be very careful of that it does not push the economy into recession as our result of overdoing the interest rate. >> inadvertently. >> i'm glad that you brought up a couple of data points. despite all of the speculation

about a forthcoming recession, which most economists say there is only a 30% chance that we will actually find ourselves in a recession, it's the job reports that you mentioned, the u.s. either 300,000 jobs in may. it's an average only rose by 5.2%, with a key on recession allison's. labor force proves to dissipation ticked up. these are criticisms of the lay market is coming back online. i understand we still have unemployment vacancies, and i do know that wages are still, now, behind cost of living. i get it. but how are people at home, how do we pass these conflicting messages? because they are going to look at the jamie diamond and to the elon musk's, but they are also going to look at you and see those positive was coming out of the administration. >> well, i think you have to segment the marketplace in the following way. there are many, many millions of consumers in the united states who are living paycheck to paycheck.

they don't necessarily have deep skills that are marketable, like itv skills. they are facing the gas price increase, they are facing the food price increase and they don't have so much savings to be able to flex against those forces. so, they are in actually a pretty tough place at the moment as a result of this runaway inflation. you then have a second group of consumers who are the ones invested in the 401k plans and, of until the last couple months, they've been sailing along without any particular problem. but, as you and i know, when you look at your 401(k) and the month on month change, it starts giving you pause for concern. then, when you heard diamond, when you hear musket on top of that, it makes you feel perhaps even more cautious about continuing spending. spending by consumers, as you

know, katie, is two thirds of the american economy. so, when the consumer starts getting nervous, losing confidence and cutting spending, that's bad for the growth of the economy. >> understand. sadly, i've run out of time, but i appreciate you being. here john quelch, dean of the business school at the university of miami, just down the street from us. you did say a lot of positive things though, so i don't want everyone to think that our economic outlook is doomed gloom. >> the u.s. has the greatest innovator and the world and we will innovate our way to further growth. >> there you go, you heard it from the dean. thank you for being here. gop lawmakers in ohio now have passed a bill that would make a female athlete suspected of being transgender to undergo a general inspection. let that sink in for a second. read it like a sarah kate ellis, president ceo of glad about this horrifying precedent coming up next. en coming up next

pride month. but for the trans community, it's another weekend entering attacks from republicans. in case you think you've heard at all, let me introduce you to ohio's latest bill. the bill would require any female student athlete whose sex is disputed to undergo a genital inspection. their doctor would have to verify their sex based on their reproductive anatomy, testosterone levels and their genetic makeup. the bill just passed the state house and that goes to the state senate, an op-ed in the daily beast slam the growing number of attacks on the lgbtq community. quote, at last count, 17 states have enacted bans on trans student athletes in a record year for hateful anti lgbtq plus legislation. how many courts will it take to

block the stampede of republican legislators and governors outlying trans and non-binary identity and gender affirming care? how many federal prosecutors will step up to stop this wave of hate against lgbtq+ americans and when? joining me this morning to discuss all of this, sarah kate ellis, the president and ceo of glaad. a group that's been fighting this fight for lgbtq acceptance for more than 35 years. sarah kate, pleasure to have you this morning. unfortunately, though, we have to talk about this bill. what is your immediate reaction to this incredibly disturbing bill that is targeted trans athletes? do you have a concern that this extreme idea of genital inspections could spread to other republican led states? >> well, good morning. absolutely, 100 percent. i think we saw with the don't say gay bill in florida. as soon as that made it through

and with sided to law by governor desantis, we saw copycats across the country. we've seen, just a pullback here for a second, we've seen over 250 anti lgbtq bills proposed this year. over half of them are targeting our trans community. the bigger question is why? what inciting incident has happened that has created such a wave of necessary anti lgbtq legislation? the answer is absolutely nothing. if you ask anyone what's happened, that hasn't cited this, there has been nothing. i think that the question and the conversations that we've been having over the past several weeks, since the roe v. wade leak on the supreme court, is about bodily autonomy in this country. and how much government control are we allowing on our own

bodies. especially for our trans community. the final thing i'll say is that, you know, legislators are supposed to be protecting all kids. this means that they are targeting the most vulnerable kids. i'm trying to rack my brain on a daily basis, trying to understand why they're going after our most vulnerable, especially in sports. it didn't kid sports! because what is kids ports about? it's about playing. it's about feeling good about yourself and build yourself a steam. i'm a mom who has kids, i know how vital sports are two young adults in helping build who they are. it helps their academic performance, it helps across all indicators of positivity in their lives to build them up. and why these politicians target these kids and trying to create unsafe and hostile environments for them? >> glaad does an annual report

looking at the national sentiment toward the lgbtq community. what can you tell me, currently, about the americans overall sentiment when it comes to the trans community? >> so, let's fascinating is that americans don't know too many people who are trans. but they are very curious and they want to learn. that is the great news, that they're open to learning who the trans community is and who they are, excuse me, and how they can support them. so, americans aren't at the center of this. this is politicians who are at the center of this. americans, hands down, believe in a quality and acceptance and want to grow and learn as a society. in fact, just this week the gallup poll came out at the highest percentage of americans, i think 71%, are for marriage equality.

so, americans keep getting more accepting, more open, and politicians keep trying to politicize our community. and what they're doing is creating an incredibly unsafe environment for our community. because when i do now for these reports of that discrimination for the lgbtq community is at an all-time high, in terms of us feeling discriminated against. we're seeing acts in our workplace or in public nominations. >> sarah kate ellis, we appreciate your advocacy. we also appreciate you taking the time to be here with us this morning to give your insight. we're going to watch all these bills very carefully to see what happens. thank you again for being here. >> thank you. >> a quick programming note for you. we're going to go to a break.
