that is amid new fallout from thursday summer finale of the 16 hearings with the committee accusing donald trump of duty for failing to call off the attack on the capitol. for more on, this return to nbc news correspondent, allie raffa who is live on capitol hill. good morning allie, always good to see you. what is the latest reaction this morning to the january six committee's primetime hearing from thursday night? >> good, morning katie. that committee maybe and the monthlong break-in hearings after we saw the latest one in primetime on thursday night. the committee members are still reacting to those revelations that we saw come out of that hearing. they are also dropping clues as to what should we expect in the future possible plural hearings. when they return in september, take a listen to congressman jamie raskin here. >> there are still witnesses coming forward, we still continue to learn more about the plot, even as all of the

essential elements trump's attempt to dismantle the results of the 2020 election, overturn the constitutional order a well-known went out to everybody. >> we have seen over the last few months really, how that deeper that committee dixon the more revelations that surfaced. the more witnesses that come forward and say they have no relevant information. for example, that is what we saw with cassidy houston. now lied to patsy pallone's testimony so many other revelations. the committee is saying they're keeping tabs and inventory on what they already know. and what they still need to take further into. they are saying that in the future hearings, we should expect to hear more testimony from secret service agents. we could also find out more information from a revelation that we saw on thursday, that is missing white house call object of the committee said that former president trump spent some of the time in that white house tiny were when he was watching the violence unfold at the capitol. still calling senators in a last-ditch effort to try and delay the certification of those election results.

the committee knows there's a lot of work snow left to be done but, again there on a tight timeline with the november midterm elections katie. >>, ali shifting gears a bit. steve relevant. steve bannon was found guilty on contempt of congress. what is the guilty verdict, mean where is the case heading from now? >> yes, this was a big deal, especially for the january six committee yesterday. really, up until this point, that committee has door after door slammed in its face by these allies of the former president. who have been willing to face possible criminal charges for refusing to comply with the committee subpoenas. for choosing loyalty to trump over the constitution. that committee is calling this a victory, this verdict yesterday. they said in a quote that just as there must be accountability, rather for all of those responsible for the offense of january six, anyone in the strap see investigation into these matters should face consequence is. adding that nobody is above the

law but bannon is still putting up a fight. listen to what he had to say after the verdict came down. >> the prosecutor missed one very important phrase. i stood with trump and the constitution. i will never back off of that, ever. >> this is round one, that's what happened. this is a bulletproof appeal, you will see this case reversed on appeal. >> bannon's had to be sentenced in late october any faces at least 30 days an up to two years in prison katie. >> allie raffa, we appreciate you being live for us on capitol hill. coming, up i will speak with our panel about trump's latest denials. bless msnbc legal analysts, glenn kershner will weigh in on what impact bannon's guilty verdict may have on those other trump allies who have been subpoenaed. so, far have refused to testify. this, morning president biden

begin to second day of isolation after testing positive for covid-19. so, far the white house says he's feeling only mild symptoms. the president kept his schedule through the end of the week, saluting up self and attending virtual meetings. -- live at the white house. mora, good morning, can you let us know how is president biden feeling this morning? >> good morning katie. the last time we saw the president wishing a virtual meeting, as we talk with economic advisers yesterday afternoon. in an effort to talk about bringing down gas prices for americans. you can hear him speak in there, his voice is a little deeper than normal, we saw him coughing several times. the reporter asked molly was, feeling he flashed a big smile and give a thumbs up. to show its energy, we've heard from the white house has been working eight plus hours a day. we did receive a letter from his doctor yesterday detailing that his symptoms were improving from the initial positive covid test. that temperature had ions on thursday night, to 99.4

degrees. -- exactly all the way up to a fever. they also detail that he had a loose cough and still had the runny nose. we have not had an update from his doctor yesterday, we expect to see a statement or a letter so much of the past few days detailing some of his symptoms. in the meantime the white house says he will continue to isolate this weekend, the asthma public schedule. we can expect to see that he will have some more virtual meetings on monday and tuesday, given that is how stays the same condition. the white house says they are continuing their effort in contact, they have identified 17 people that were close contact but none of them have tested positive. two of those first lady, and the vice president, we have been told day of since tested negative as well. and so right, now the president continues to isolate on a second day, we don't expect to see him virtually. in any events but we have seen

the white house in the president's twitter accounts occasionally, tweeting out photos of the president as well. definitely keep an eye out on that as well as for the updated letter from his doctor today katie. >> all right thanks to maura barrett, live at the white house this morning. tie. >> anow let's turn to the war in ukraine, this morning there are reports of two americans killed in the donbas region of the country. at least two other americans have died fighting for ukraine, while two others are being held by the russians. ali a ruse he is live in kyiv. ali, good morning, what can you tell us about the americans were passed away? >> hi good morning katie. that is, right we are hearing this from abc and other sources. two more americans have been killed in the donbas region. of, course that is the scene of some of the most fierce fighting here in ukraine. that's an area that the russians really do want to capture, they have captured half of it. and now in the donetsk areas but they are trying to capture.

we believe that they have been killed there, there is not a lot more information about. at the state department is saying that they are aware that they can confirm it's happened, because privacy reasons and respect for the families of the two deceased. they are not giving a lot more information, as you mentioned, that makes it for americans at least that have been killed here right now since the beginning of this conflict. another three others that are being confirmed, captured. now is alex at another man who was captured. recently, the bad was not a soldier. the americans are being held that we, now for others that we now have been killed and this conflict. away from the americans that are being taken in the air, as you know katy last, night there was a crane deal signed to get ukraine ingrained out of the black sea. it took months of negotiations between the turks and the un. finally signed last, night they were hoping to get the grain out of the port of odessa this

morning. the russians shelled the area this morning with four missiles. two of them were intercepted them two of them got in causing a rather large fire in the port of odessa. as spoke to member of parliament here, alexei and he told me it was a very ominous sign for this deal going well. he says no, they cannot trust the russians on the one hand. they are signing a deal to allow grain to leave the port in odessa. on the other, hand they are shelling the area. he was saying that the only way to secure grain exports out of the country west the sink the russian black sea fleet. that is another very dangerous step in this war if that will happen. a lot of question right now whether that green is going to be able to leave ukraine and get to some of the world's most vulnerable people that are feeling food shortages. >> alia, rudy thank you so much for bringing us these updates. they are important, a lot of us

sometimes forget that there is still that war that is going on over in ukraine. we appreciate you being here this morning. >> and coming, up if you have found yourself unable to suppress your laughter while watching jaws holiday run from the riders he had egged on, well you are not alone. the 16 committee apparent rolling up this and that there was an instant classic for the internet. you better believe i look at reaction from my, panelists joe walsh and manage on fast. they are coming up next. , last i have a little secret to let you in on. did you know that women are actually allowed to have careers now? who knew, while one republican politician in minnesota implied that quote, evil abortions are the root cause of that novel concept. do you know? what i am just not gonna let

it is so hard to predict the mind of jordan peele. back to that breaking news back to the breaking news, donald trump, overnight, had his handpicked candidates for the coming primary. if it's most expensive on camera comments about the january 6th hearings. he seemed to focus on the testimony of cassidy hutchinson. her claim that he allegedly tried to assault a secret service officer and take control of the presidential limo, often referred to as the beast. he started by admitting he watched thursday night's hearing calling it a hoax. he denied the entire alleged incident relayed by hutchinson about the alleged assault on a secret service agent. taking control of the beast, calling the incident, quote, total fiction. he also denied the story about

angrily throwing a plate of food in the white house. he then went on to say that the country has weaponized its law enforcements against him and republicans. no one else has been put through wet he has. i cannot even say it. the world's smallest violent is playing for that man. let's bring in my panel. molly jong-fast is a contributing writer at the atlantic. and the author of the, wait, what newspaper. joe walsh is a former republican congressman from illinois who is no longer associated with the republican party. molly, joe, thank you so much for being here. you guys are the panel to go to after last night's event. molly, i will start with you. is trump's reaction, and frankly, the fact that he was watching the hearing on thursday, proof positive that the 16 hearings are indeed getting to him? >> yes, i think they are getting to him. i think they have been getting to him this whole time. i think, the question is are they getting to enough people to change hearts and minds? i think the answer is slowly, yes.

since they have started you have seen more and more polling about desantis, more and more desantis talk, more and more of the slow, kind, of separating. you even see reporting, a lot of people saying, you know, we love trump. we love trumpism. but, you know, it is getting too complicated. and so, i do think they are working. i was not super surprised by his reaction. it is exactly what he says about everything. >> yes, joe, we have seen some pretty damning information. it came out thursday night during that particular hearing throughout all of the hearings that the 16 committee has presented. i follow you on social media, as to countless others. you share, on social media, your reactions or interactions with die hard republican voters and their thoughts. what are you hearing after that last january six primetime hearing from thursday? did it move the needle at all with those people that molly is

referencing? >> there is some truth in what molly says. katie, here is my fear. first off, never believe anything that donald trump says. he lies every time he opens his mouth. but, listen to what donald trump says. what he is saying now is oh my god, i am a victim, they are coming after me. they do not want me to run again. the deep state is coming after me. they are going to silence me. katie, this is what i hear from his supporters and republican voters, every day. so, weirdly, i think trump, now, it's pivoting to really -- use this as a sign of strength. i have no doubt he will come out and announced in september. he is going to pinpoint these hearings and say, they are coming after me, they are coming after you, they are trying to silence us all. and then, the republican party, katie, that will work, sadly. >> yes, joe, that is old hat,

no? in there, done that, a little bit. that is kind of the song he wrote in 2016. let's look at an op-ed headline from the independent from last november, molly, that headline said nothing would suit steve bannon more than to be and alt-right martyr in prison. putting aside whether there is any joy in the idea of steve bannon being in prison, is there any part of you, molly, that thinks that this is exactly what bannon has been gunning for? this idea of being a trump murder? especially, considering the fact that his defense did not even put up a defense. >> i mean, bannon is a weird characters. in some ways, yes, i think he would like to do that. i am not sure that he really understands how much jail is not great. i mean, we will see in october. he will probably get a month, maybe a little more. the thing about him is he is all hat no cattle. so, he is very excited about this stuff.

he thinks it will help his career. but, you know, the fundamentals are, once he is in jail he sort of disappears. he cannot podcast from jail. and, this audience is very short with their attention span. it is not likely will be waiting for him. and, you know, i think it is like with other members of maga world to get deplatformed. they sort of think they have more power than they do. this world has a very short attention span. my guest is that if he disappears he will sort of disappear. >> and yet, i feel like bannon is one of those things that never really goes away, despite all efforts to do so. joe, we have to talk about josh hawley. how could we not? the missouri senator became the butt of many jokes after the 16 committee showed us this video. this was in realtime, and slow-mo. this is josh hawley fleeing from the insurrectionist just hours after holding up a fist to egg them on. joe, he immediately tried to

fund-raise off of it sailing months with a picture of him holding up his fist. on friday he offered this response at a conservative event. listen very closely to his choice of words. >> i just want to say to all of those liberals out there, and the liberal media, in case you haven't gotten the message yet, i do not regret it. and, i am not backing down. i am not going to apologize. i am not going to cower. i'm not going to run from you. i am not going to bend the knee. >> and casey must, and that is josh hawley. now, infamous for that video where he is running away telling liberals he will not run away from them. you are thoughts, show. and haul, and josh hawley? >> in katie, look, there is an audience for what josh hawley says, there sadly. here is the deal. josh hawley, but he did the other day, yes, there he is running. it is funny. but, it is not funny as well. he is a coward, katie. and, it perfectly typifies all

of these republicans, really, in the last six years. but, certainly since january six. they were all josh hawley's. ted cruz is josh hawley. marco rubio is josh hawley. mitch mcconnell is josh hawley. they are all josh hawley. they are all cowards. they know trump incited a coup. they know trump is bad for the party, and bad for the country. but, they do not say a damn thing. and like josh hawley they all just run and hide. >> yes, you know, molly, to joe's point here there is always the drama from the gop side. but, never offered up solutions. we see that happening right now at the criticism of the biden administration. we see that in terms of like, what we were talking about a few minutes ago, it's old hat. the idea that there is a swamp that needs to be cleaned up, and everyone is coming after you in this crazy witch hunt. so, molly, it has only been republican witnesses at these

primetime hearings. it has not been anything else. we had real, die hard trump supporters on thursday night. right? so, why is it, though, that it seems that the 16 committee maybe beating its drum in the echo chamber that is not being heard where it needs to be heard? >> you know, i don't know. i think, the thing is, they do these primetime hearings which is very smart. the first hearing did really good numbers. and so, i do think more people are hearing it than we think they are. i also think it is having more offehayou think. and, even with the josh hawley video, the point of that video was he was scared for his life. he ran, not because of an ideological thing, he ran because he thought the mob would get him. i think that that is the most important part of this. here is a guy who a couple of hours before was like, these guys are my buddies. and a couple hours later he is running because he does not want to get killed. i think that is a really

important moment in gop life. right? that is saying, these guys maybe friends of terms but they are not friends of anyone else is. i think that people understand what a big deal that is. a think that was a really important moment. i also think it was quite fun to watch josh hawley get completely out, and be a coward like he is. >> you know, the real takeaway from this is trump is no friend of there's. trump would not even stand up for his vice president, mike pence. molly jong-fast, joe walsh, thank you so much for being here this morning, i appreciate it. coming up, this next clip may seem obvious, but is the person saying it that matters the most. take a listen. >> no person is above the law in this country. i cannot say it any more clearly than that. >> no person is above the law in this country. if attorney general merrick garland says holds, there could

be very real consequences for donald trump and his role in that january six insurrection. my friend glenn kirschner is here to break it down with me, coming up right now.

entire process and that is what's absolutely combatted but luce should ease the feet within a few weeks in wyoming by. the republican party and by conservatives, by maga. we have to get in there in january, every committee will be in a reset committee. we have to real january six committee, including to get to the staffers now. i would tell the january six staff right now, browser view documents. >> sounds like a, threat bannon is a true maga, believer is apparently believe her to go to jail for his former boss. what about the others? now that they are seeing these very real legal consequences play out, will other trump allies be convinced to come forward? the doj has thus far declined to prosecute former white house chief of staff, mark meadows for contempt of congress after he defied a 16 committee subpoena. throughout the hearings, he has been placed at the center of trump's inaction. and trump's efforts to get him to call off the mob. can meadows now want to share

his side of the story? joining me now for more is msnbc legal analyst, former federal prosecutor, glenn kirschner who was at the bannon trial all week. he was keeping us informed every step of the way, glen good morning. let's start with the plan in. he is known for his hyperbole and it's grandstanding, he is promising to fight the conviction all the way to the supreme court. we have been saying you believe the rule of him yesterday, will be upheld. i do want to ask, you what is the impact that this conviction will happen on other trump acolytes like mark meadows? >> you know, katie think we both know we are not going to count the justice chickens before they hatch. but it does feel like with yesterday's criminal conviction fc pan in, for contempt of congress, let's call it what it was, covering up, sick reading, hiding from the j 6th committee in the american people. the misconduct of donald trump,

does feel like american ahead of deep-seated speak in some justice but the convictions together with the blockbuster j six committee public hearings. maybe we can get justice trending, i am feeling a little bit more optimistic as time goes. on particularly with the very forward-leaning statements of merit garland, deputy attorney general lisa monaco. i feel like maybe we are heading in the right direction. >> former white house counsel pat cipollone has testified that trump did nothing to stop his own armed supporters from storming the capitol and endangering the life of his vice president. frankly, all of the lawmakers and staff that gather. there tough for, amid joe biden's victory, take a quick listed. >> who were you aware of and being focal blood president of the united states and the secretary of defense that day? >> not that i'm aware, of no. >> are you aware of any phone

call of the president to the attorney general of the united states that they? >> no. >> are you aware of any private phone call the secretary of homeland security that day? >> i am not aware of, that no. >>, when we talk often about peoples affirmative duties to these things. -- the decision not to take action that is being highlighted by possibility. the clip that we just heard in all the evidence that it's been presented, is that more evidence of trump's criminal intent? specifically on january six? >> yes, katie's criminal intent and criminal conduct. we usually hold people accountable for their affirmative acts. the conduct that might be criminal. you can also hold people criminally accountable for a failure to act. like when you take an oath to support and defend the constitution. --

you do the exact opposite because what we learned, horrific lee is that after donald trump launched when knew was an armed attack on the capitol, he sat in his private dining room for more than three hours, watching the attack on fox tv. and refusing, refusing to call it off. and refusing to send law enforcement or military reinforcements to the capitol to protect the lives of the people who were under attack by the very attack that donald trump launched. you know that is criminal. that is criminal, it's a criminal failure to act. of course also a criminal act because he launched the attack in the first place. that kind of dereliction of duty at a bit about needs to be taken, needs to be taken seriously. he needs to be held accountable for it. when they are in concluded the january six, hearing hours left feeling like donald trump

during those three hours was not the leader of the country. he was the leader of the coup in a very real sense. leader so, when i want to shift gears right now because i know that you worked as a federal prosecutor for so long. you worked with united states you could service. you did cases and i want to know what you think about the fact that individual agents high up as tony ornato employer up. -- what message is that something to you about the absence of evidence? there is no phone call logs, there is no photographs of the president, there are no text messages and i found really suspect. the idea about the phone data migration. the fact that people are getting lawyers at the secret service, what does that tell you? >> yes, katy listen i embrace anybody sixth amendment right to counsel just like i embrace anybody's fifth amendment right against self incrimination. these are important

constitutional rights that we have. at least until the supreme court chooses to take them away. but there is an incongruity here. when a law enforcement agency like the secret service lawyers up. or members of the secret service lawyer up because they are afraid of the consequences to come. or just the question that will be put to them about why they erase their text messages. you are right, katy average criminal cases with the secret service. including a case where a senator had his cell phone stolen. we had to use technology to track the thief through the city until we found him, caught him put him on trial and convicted him. here is the thing that really gets me so frustrated. the secret service is the premier law enforcement organization when it comes to investigating cybercrimes. when i itself on their computer sees as a part of micro mantle investigations.

i needed forensic searches done on them, particularly if evidence had been deleted, and needed to be retrieved, i did not go down to the fbi lab to quantico. i want to the united states you could service, forensic sciences division. they are the ones who retrieved information off of cell phones and computers. so now? what they cannot retrieve their own deleted information? i am not buying, it i believe there's adequate predication, that is enough evidence to open a criminal probe. and if the secret service did nothing wrong, they should welcome that criminal probe. >> you would think, so glen kushner, we appreciate you taking the time to always bring us the light. what did they say? sunlight is the best disinfectant? right you are the one who brings the transparency on all of these issues. justice matters. thank you so much for being here this morning, i appreciate it. >> thank you katie.

>> millions of americans will experience record-breaking temperatures this weekend. as earth literally burns at the result. joe manchin senate republicans and even kylie jenner are making names as climate criminals. how do we hold them accountable? i will ask a member of the climate crisis house committee coming up next. e crisis house committee you can always spot a first time gain flings user. to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to coming up next or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously.

i am not trying to be cute about this. every single time we build a clean energy assets it displaces he 31. because, it is cheaper. if you have a solar panel on your roof you are not as long as it is sunny. then you do not buy power from the coal plant. if you have an electric vehicle in your driveway you do not buy gasoline. but putrefy's, not just the republicans, because i like to say get 52 problems in the senate on the democrats had to, but what petrified the republican and now caucus in the senate is that if we stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, we will effectually -- from energy producers to energy consumers. west virginia as a state does not know how to operate in the 21st century without subsidizing coal mines. louisiana has a real problem operating without the subsidies of the oil and gas industry. we subsidize the sectors by 650 billion dollars a year. if we are committed to an

economically viable future, and environmentally viable future, we should take off the brakes and actually find these incentives. but they are doing is working hard to protect their local, stroke we all interests, their donors. we are stealing money from american consumers today and future generations would like to live in a world that is not on fire. >> congressman, ben, for someone like joe manchin, and i hate to keep on bringing him up, but he seems to be the poster child for why there is this conflict. he clearly has interest in coal. and, he is voting, like you say, to support parochial interests that are, perhaps, in his backyard. why is there not more screaming and yelling about the fact that someone like joe manchin is standing in the way of progress on climate change? why is there not more being done to highlight that particular conflict of interest that someone like joe manchin would have? >> like, i think it is a question for the leadership of the senate. why, if we believe as democrats,

and i certainly believe this is an existential crisis, this is a massive opportunity, why are we putting people in positions of leadership who are actively thwarting that opportunity? you know, as i said to some friends this week, i do not claim to know where all the wedge heads are in washington. i just know that no one's democratic leader took mr. manchin out to one. if this stuff matters that cannot be a political issue. her children were not judge us by where you better than republicans. we will judge us by saying to give the co2 down? did you give us two for energy? did you give us clean energy? did you put this in a position where we can deal with the challenges of our generation and not the ones who would guard? that is not just manchin, it is not just schumer. this is the history of the u.s. senate. the u.s. senate voted 95 to nothing to not join the kyoto protocols, nearly 30 years ago. they have had a structural problem for decades. dealing with what is completely

proven science. i think it is a deficiency in the structure of the senate, just the senate have to fix. we have to fix it yesterday. >> congressman, there was some polling by the new york times. it says, only 1% of people, only 1% of people say that climate change is the most important problem facing our country today. how do we encourage the voters, both democratic and republican, to make this a priority? >> the basic answer is leadership. i had a meeting with president biden awhile ago. i said to him, if that which is necessary exceeds that which is politically possible, then we have failed as leaders. you know, condoleezza rice uses great language. our job is to make the impossible seem inevitable. and, i think, we have these deficiencies in the republican party. we can talk about these. i think there is a real problem with people in the democratic

party seeking polling like that and saying, i would rather focus on other things if i'm just going to run on this messaging. whatever that is, that is not leadership. that is follower ship. if you are following the polls. i say this is someone who flew to sleep in 2018 that was republican since 1972. by campaigning on climate. it was not a top issue when i started campaigning. it is now. i think folks understand, once you start taking the time to walk through with them and say, you know, wouldn't you like to pay less for energy? would you like to have a more efficient, insulated home? would you like to save on gasoline? why is it hard for you to do that. people understand, they are smart. we are sitting here, as members of congress, and we have access to all the smartest one world. we have access to all these great briefings. we know that this is urgent. do we then go out and lead the public? if the polling is down 1%, the answer is. now we are not doing good enough job. we need to put people in the leadership group will not only advocate for these things but really understand.

they will get down in the weeds and lead, as we do on other issues. we are, basically, failing on climate. we have had control of the house for the last four years. we've had control of the house in the senate for the last two years. point to the big, when have we had last had a hearing on this? one heavily really last expanded political power on climate? one heavily decided that we would actually do what we campaigned on and not whatever senator manchin will allow us to do? our track record on here is not the best. i think we, and people in positions of leadership, need to start leaving on these issues. >> it sounds like the future of our children should not be held hostage by the idea that it is of -- congressman sean casten, thank you so much for being on this morning to highlight this really critical issue. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> the patriarchy is alive and well in minnesota, my friends. a republican politician there

this, morning we are going to introduce you to matt burke. he is a republican who is running for the lieutenant governor of minnesota. this, week he is in the news after appearing to double down on his controversial comments about abortion and women.

here is we had to say then just after supreme court overturned roe v. wade. >> our culture loudly but also stealthy promotes abortion helen woman that they should look a certain way, they should have careers and all of these things. >> matt thinks the culture promotes abortion. why somehow telling women that they should have careers, because matt yes that is exactly why abortions happened because women have jobs. and then on wednesday, he recorded a new video where he tried to clean things up. >> as a culture tell some of the focus on their careers, while they do is it that woman it's either or. you can have a career or you can be a mother. why don't we uplift both of those things. i don't think we prepare for about motherhood enough. >> let's be clear though, that was really the only point that he tried to clarify from his gym video that is now going viral. matt did not backtrack on accusing supporters of abortion

rights abusing quote the rape card or comparing the idea of outlawing abortion to abolishing slavery. throughout his pizarro marks, one thing became very clear, when he and several others of his fellow republicans appear to really care about is power. the control that they could have over women and the decisions they make. you can see here when he tries to make a joke. >> when you cannot be able to vote in our country. now we let them drive. i mean, i don't know if three teenage daughters that drive. i don't know if that's a good law or not. i am just getting. sorry, kidding, cutting to all of the women out there. and don't tell my wife that i use that joke. she hates that joke. >> yes, matt i bet your dove wife does not like that. joke here is the, point the woman's position to obtain an abortion or to have a child, or

to be a part of the workforce is her decision to make. it is not of matt berke's business. and for anybody out there who still does not get, it there are a lot of rights that are at stake right now. this, week went on to the 95 republicans voted against protecting a woman's right to contraception. it is all about the power and who wields it. they are not hiding how they feel when it comes to controlling women. they're standing on stages, and they are saying get loud and proud. tomorrow math books democratic appointed for lieutenant governor peggy flanagan will join alicia menendez life. thomas american voices tomorrow from six to 8 pm eastern right here, on msnbc. rn right here, on ♪and my clothes smell so much fresher than before!♪ try gain flings and you'll be a gainiac too. the only detergent with oxiboost and febreze.
