increasingly ugly face off that could shift the balance of power in the senate. blast, show people leaders are blurring the line between church and states more than ever. according to new police, nearly two thirds of republicans say the u.s. should be declared a christian nation. i'll talk to rick wilson, the founder of the lincoln project, about where this trend can take us. and for your sunday's finals, a tennis icon's final match makes headlines. it had nothing to do with the plays on the court. the emotional moment that scrap the world's attention. we are now just three days away from the next public hearing of the january six committee, investigating the attack on the united states capitol. this morning, we're learning new details about what the paddle house and store. committee vice chair

congresswoman liz cheney can give us a hint of what we can expect on wednesday sane any, about criminal reform will be unanimous, cheney is also sal just in this hearing may not be the last. for more on what we can expect from the committee this week, we are joined by nbc news correspondent, and he rapid. >> good morning katie. that's right. liz cheney is closing out this texas tribune festival in august last night with some hints about what we can expect to see on wednesday. most notably, she broke with what committee members, other committee members, have talked about earlier this week when they said this is likely to be the last public hearing by the january six committee. she stopped short of offering any more details on that, but she did say that she doesn't think this will be the last. she also said that the committee has received much more cooperation in coordination with the secret service. she said those deleted text messages at the committee have

been asking for, -- she did say the committee has received other kinds of communication from the secret service. she also said the committee is still in talks with former vice president mike pence's legal team about possibly testifying before the committee. you'll remember a couple weeks ago, former vice president mike pence did say that he was seriously consider speaking with the committee if he was asked. take a listen to cheney's comment here. >> my committee is in discussions with vice presidents counsel. people should never forget that what donald trump was pressuring mike pence to do was illegal. it was unconstitutional. because of the gravity of what happened, the direct threat to the republic that he has an all the geisha to come and talk to the committee, i think executive privilege is a crucial part of our constitutional framework. it's not absolute.

cheney was also asked last night whether the committee is still interested in speaking with former president donald trump, whether that would be necessary to complete the investigation. she says that he interaction donald trump will have the committee will be under oath so as we get closer to this wednesday hearing day the, committee does know that there is a high bar of expectations they need to meet to break through the current news cycle in the more than two months it's been since the committees last public hearing the new cycle has just been dominated about headlines of the former president so they know that there's a very high bar to really make news and have some revelations come out of this -- >> alley, quick follow-up, despite trump drawing crowds as he's campaigning across the nation for candidates he supporting this november, yesterday, only a dozen of his supporters attended a truth rally committee on truths work. what can you tell us about that?

>> this was a rally that organizers said was in defense of these january six, quote, political prisoners. in other words, the hundreds of people who have been charged in connection with the attack on the capitol on january six. it features speakers like -- mike lindell, who was featured speaker who came in virtually. a really attracted only dozens of people, versus the thousands that they expected. we do know roughly half of that event were counter demonstrators opposing the event, katie. >> thanks to allie raffa live on capitol hill. and momentum, going to have the chance to speak of pennsylvania congressman, brandon boyle, about the impact of the january six committee, and the crucial senate rate in the commonwealth. we are now just 43 days away from the midterm elections. tropical storm ian is gaining strength and florida is now bracing for what's expected to become a hurricane before the

state feels its effects as soon as tomorrow, monday. president biden's approved a state of emergency declaration that brought to announced on friday. people have been storm prepping for days trying to secure an emergency candidate assess it is. stephanie stanton is live now in tampa, florida. this may end up being a direct hit. stephanie, how are people preparing today? >> yeah, good morning to you. i am in florida. this is about 30 miles north of tampa. we are in -- county. it's a coastal resort town on the bay. people are definitely and preparation mode here. let me show you what's happening behind me. we are at a local park, public works department workers just dropped off above four tons of sand. the sand will be here all day. starting right now. all day long. so folks can come out here, get what they need. officials say they have access to about 100,000 sandbags if

needed. john a typical storm, they say they typically had at about 30,000 hand sandbags. a chart the department of public works director and he tells me that in his 30 year career, he's never seen predictions for a category four storm potentially hitting tampa bay. he's very concerned right now. everyone, again, in full preparation mode in the bay. and facts, that translates to local stores, we are seeing people trying to get access to supplies like water, batteries, we're seeing active store shelves all across the sunshine state not just here in the tampa bay area, but also in orlando, fort myers. tampa valve is still in the cone of uncertainty. we just saw the latest updates coming in. the storm hasn't really changed all that much in terms of its track. there is a lot of concern here in the bay area. also, katie, we are seeing gassed nations running out of gas. and fact, on my way over here

are, i saw one gassed nation was shut down. normally you would see three, four, $5, depending on where you live in the country. here are, there were zeroes on the digital gas grain, which is something that you don't see very often. there is a lot going on here are everyone is very hopeful that the storm will shift. this area is really hunkering down and preparing, as you can see this gentleman over there filling up a sandbag. right now, it's a wait and see situation. and we are going to be out here, we'll be talking to some folks. of course, we'll get back with you later. >> thank, stephanie. we actually definitely, intimately know that wait and see vibe down here in south florida, the entire state of florida is currently under a tropical storm watch. all right, thanks to you. we're going to turn our attention to overseas, to iran, where protests are continuing to spread across the country following the arrest and subsequent death of a young woman for allegedly violating

the nations islamic strict dress code. alec arouzi is the only western broadcast journalist inside of iran. he filed this report for us. >> protests are raging across the despite the unforgiving crackdown on threats. iran's president is issuing a warning saying authorities must deal decisively with those who -- and tranquility. almost 100 cities have been insulted demonstrators, many of them women clashing with violent security forces. according to state media, 41 iranians have been killed since the protests began. this is sparked by the death of 22-year-old, masai mini. sheep and arrested by the countries morality police for an alleged violation of iran strict islamist dress code. after she reportedly collapsed, police took albany to a hospital where she died three days later. the iranians say investigation is underway. around the country, many arrests are being made, even

during the day when protests are not happening. security agents are done to find demonstrators they believe will run the streets at night. women who are at the heart of this protests continue to defy the authorities, burning head scarves, cutting their hair, and walking in the streets of the capitol without a how job and defiance. government -- have been called on to come out to the streets to show the agents the ruling authority. and cities across the world, rallies were held in support of the iranian people. >> nbc's -- thank you so much. now we're going to charge of the latest on the warren ukraine. voting continues in four occupied areas in ukraine referendums on joining russia. kyiv and western allies are dismissing the process as a sham. european union says it will recognize the results. meanwhile, in russia, more arrests are being made to crack down on those protests and vladimir putin's military

draft. according to an independent monitor, more than 700 people were arrested across 32 cities. putin declared anyone deserting or failing to appear for military service would be punished by up to ten years and prison. jay gray is at a town near the russian border that has been recently liberated, but is still under attack. jay. >> katie, good morning. i'm going to show you a little bit of what the small village looks like. many of the buildings are exactly this one, sheldon burned. both the people who live here or have been evacuated. the elderly are staying behind. they say they're not going anywhere. it's three columbus from the front line here. the shelling continues around the clock here. it is one of those areas that continues to be fought back and forth, because -- it's a right at the russian border. fighting here is expected to continue for quite some time. katie. >> all right, thanks to jay.

this might be it for the january 6th select committee investigating the attack on the united states capitol. just a little over a month before the midterm elections, and three months before the committee's charter comes to an end. the panelists a tournament to

get to the attention of as many americans as possible. >> i think the issue here is the people in the middle. well i'm hoping that -- say to the people in the middle, based on evidence that we presented, based on the fact that a majority of our witnesses that work republican, what occurred on january 6th did happen. that was january six committee chair bennie thompson. speaking to politico ahead of this week's public hearing, wednesday is potentially there last time in front of the american people. thompson is emphasizing his desire for the work of the committee to reach not just democrats, but moderates chair. as for what we can expect from the committee this week, congressman jamie raf is seizing new information. a longtime trump ally, robert stone. according to politico, always to the january six committee travel to copenhagen the summer

to a few documentary footage related to stone from the day at the capitol riots. the committees vice chair, congresswoman liz cheney, when we know with these pointed comments over the weekend regarding just how involved trump was and the insurrection. one >> of the things that has surprised me the most about my work on this committee is how sophisticated the plan was that donald trump was involved in and oversaw. every step of the way, it was a multi part plan that he oversaw. he was involved in personally and directly. >> all of this is leading up to a potential blockbuster series finale for the 16 committee. joining me now for more is pennsylvania congressman, brendan boyle. congressman, thank you for joining us. as of now, there is no come from news about what the final topics will before wednesdays hearing. one thing we've heard is that the 16 committee may focus on

security lapses and the reason for the delay in promoting the national guard. if this is in fact the last hearing of the 16 committee, do you think that's going to be enough for the american people? >> first of, it's great to be with you, katie. i don't think there's any question that the january six hearings, this commission has done its work. they've covered things that i didn't even know, and i was literally there on january six. what was going on at the white house, what trump was doing, the fact that he was already informed by the secret service that the crowd he was speaking to you on the ellipse that morning had weapons. he still said multiple times for them to go march in the capital, knowing that he had been informed that they had weapons. one of the remaining questions i still have as i sat there bunker down in my office that afternoon is why was the national guard helping to help

us? why wasn't anyone coming in for d.c. metro police for a good three or four hours? that is a key question that i would still like answer, that i hope we'll get the answers to this week. >> you know, there has been such a focus, congressman, on so many other major issues. the news headlines been dominated by them. you are the co-chair of the blue collar caucus. this advocates for labor and working class priorities. there's always debates, sir, in terms of whether or not the 16 committee succeeds are reaching moderate americans who are likely to determine which party controls the house on november. maybe they don't care so much about what the 16 committee is focusing on versus, perhaps, other issues. do you think there is a happy medium between all of these critical facts, incidents, et cetera, that you think could actually motivate moderates to want to vote for the dems in november? >> i think it's a false choice. we don't have to choose between our democracy and our economy. i held a ton of community

events last weekend, interacted with literally hundreds of constituents, and i had some come up and talk to me about the economic issues, and i had some who came up the talk to me about gun violence. i had some who came up and talk to be about the january six commission. specifically, stopping trump. there is no question that trump's reemerge ain't this summer has, frankly, even took that help of my side of the aisle in our party this coming november election. -- turn off the most, were repelled bullet and leading independents in areas like the suburbs of philadelphia. there are a ton of voters right around me who voted republican for state legislature and for congress, but turned around and voted for joe biden for presidents. i don't think there's any question that trump is toxic and a lot of areas that otherwise would be fertile ground for republicans.

>> so, congressman, the house passed a bill this week that would amend the electoral count act to remove any opportunity for the role of the vice president to be deemed anything bob ministerial when it comes to counting electoral college votes. democrats unanimously support the bill. 200 republicans vote no. the only yes votes came from republicans who were either retiring, or they have lost their primaries. legislation now goes to the senate. what does it mean for the future of democracy that no house republicans, stating congress voted for this bill? >> first, i would say after a flurry of incredible legislative accomplishments this year in the summer. i think there are two critical pieces of legislation that we have to pass in congress before the end of the year. one is reform through the way that we raise our debt ceiling, and frankly, avoid a potential

catastrophe. if republicans were to take control of congress, at least one chamber. the other piece of legislation is performing the electoral count act. this 150 year piece of legislation that enable january 6th to happen in the first place. i do you think we're going to get there. the good news is we have more bipartisan support in the senate. this bill is mitch mcconnell's interest. why would he want to go through another january 6th again? it's crazy that it only takes one house member, and one said a member, to plunge dozens of this chaos. i am pretty confident this is going to be reformed. there are some differences between senate version in the house version, but i think this is going to be worked out and get done. >> i have to ask you while you are here with us on the show about your own backyard. let's turn our attention to pennsylvania, and the senate race there. this frankly could determine

which party controls the upper chamber this -- john fetterman has agreed to october 25th debate against his opponent, doctor oz, who has been launching attacks on his health to create up doubts about his ability to serve. you know pennsylvania and his voters well. do you think it's voters are going to turn out and punish doctor oz for this kind of lowbrow strategy? >> yeah first, of a total homer. i love talking about anything pennsylvania. pennsylvania sports and pennsylvania politics. i do believe, like you said, whichever candidate, whichever party wins the senate race will end up controlling the united states senate. i think it will come down to pennsylvania, as it has for the last several election cycles. in terms of dr. oz, he needs better bedside manner. i think that making fun of someone, or having to stroke, in attempting to recover from the, think god, i mean, john fetterman has made remarkable

progress over the last four or five months when we first had the stroke of may, i don't know who is advising him that this is a good electoral strategy. it simply isn't. i also think that, frankly, as we get into this debate in late october, the expectations might be so low for fetterman and, when it comes to futterman speech, i wouldn't be surprised if he really ends up surprising a lot of folks with how well he does. doctor oz is a fraud. he had very different political views just a few years ago. we know that he wants to be in the senate. hack, he still doesn't live in pennsylvania. john fetterman shows up, he's himself, fetterman will win this. >> congressman brandon boyle, we thank you for joining us and for sharing your insight. we'll promise have you more things pennsylvania. >> all, right thank you. >> coming up, no separation between church and states. that is ultimately the goal for nearly two thirds of

61% of republicans say they would support it. christian nationalism has always been linked to conservative politics. in an op-ed for nbc news, reverend eight them -- finds it as, the republican parties in merging of american evangelical christian identities so that only crush servant of christians countess to americans, and that only right wing republicans can be considered true christians. with that in mind, the people across the country who claim to do god's work at the pulpit, are apparently also doing the gop's work. >> i've come here i to declare a war on every demonic, the man possessed democrat, that comes from the gates of hell. >> here is some food for thought. republican politician and voters likely see where the trends are going. this, week the pew research center released new data

showing that if current trends continue, christians in the united states could be a minority group by the year 2070. here is to discuss this and much more, i'm glad to welcome back rick wilson. he's a former gop strategist in the cofounder of the lincoln project. where, it goes good to see you. thanks. let's start with this idea. republican -- colin as a christian nation at the very say that use religious freedom as a convenient calling card to get their way. freedom to worship, as you on, is in our bill of rights. what is this country going to look like, wreck? at the gop gets its way? >> first off, i need them to stop talking about the founders at this point. the founders, iffy stretch back to the mayflower, this is a country that was founded on fleed from religious persecution of an official state religion. when the constitution was being

framed, we had states and we had leaders who all understood that this country was going to have a pluralistic approach to religion, we're supposed to say, the government would neither condone nor cypress any religion. this is a fundamental part of american history. this emergence of the desire to be a explicitly christian nation is something that's really forces off into the center in the last 50 years, approximately, but it's blossoming in the last couple years. my recommendation to these folks, if they want to live in a country that is governed by the church, that is governed by religious body, i would recommend that they move to iran. that is exactly the kind of government they want. at the o credit government centered on the execution of the religious, dominant religious institution, and over the lives of the people. it's absurd,, but it is also something that i think, i think it's a part of the divorce

american conservatism from the founders tradition. >> wreck, i want to play a quick clip from a congressman and d cousin juron alex wagner tonight. he was talking about the relationship between the political right, and christiane d.. take a listen. >> i'm going to say this is a christian myself, the pastor's, many pastors in this country, are failing their congregation. not even just for pushing pain trumpism from the pulpit, but even refusing to talk about how bad it is, how corrosive it is. you have people today that literally, i think in their heart they might not say, it but they are a quaint donald trump with the person of donald trump -- if you come out against this amazing man, donald trump, which i was quite flawed, you are coming out against jesus, against their christian values. >> rock, we've talked about trump being a cult of personality. now we hear this acquainted of

trump as a christ-like figure. you and i have had several conversations about the ways that evangelical christians sold their souls to get at mcconnell in the supreme court that delivered the overturning of something like roe v. wade,. where does it stop though? where can you divorce is complete marriage between the evangelical or the question right in this idea that the gop is the only party to deliver for them what they think our white grievance values. >> it only stops when religious leaders, as adam pointed out very ably, it only stops one religious leaders stand up and say we are not part of the political world. we may be of the whole community, but we are not in political organization. if they don't do that, if they don't do that they're going to find themselves in a position where they further separates from the rest of the american culture, the rest of american politics. it will become something, i,

think that will require greater and greater political accesses. way to a greater political violence implements. this is a sign, i think, of people who are very desperate to hack the political system and achieve your ends that they could not otherwise do. it is, look, i don't like all the handmaid's tale clichés, but there are people in that movements, there are people in that subculture who really believe that's how america should be. they have completely divorced from individual liberty. they're completely divorced from religious liberty. they want to impose something. lauren -- wants the state of the church, tell the state what to do, plenty of options in the middle east for her. >> we're, eclipse change topics. another favor between you and i to talk about the grift is going on. political is reporting some of trump's top lieutenants are

really seen a super pac that will use money to help trump chosen candidates in the midterms. we've already seen how creative, all use that adjective, trump can get with his donors money. greg, what is it going to take for people to stop floating the script or? >> look, these folks, look, if trump is a cult of personality, and borders on the religion, this is their type. they are happy to do it. there relentless pounding, text messages and emails from donald trump. they're always say you must save me, only you on your last dollar your social security check will get we back into the oval office. they buy over and over again. i don't know what shakes them loose around it, because nothing has seemed to knock the fundraising down. every time he's tried to be held to account by anyone, they go out and they raise more money off of that.

i was positive he's had a successful run since the fbi cage mar-a-lago to search for confidential documents. i'm sure he's convert that into tens of thousands in dollars of -- when >> you were here last year, we talked about that save america pack, or, excuse me, the rnc, not having money. all this money just disappeared. republicans are counting on this new super pac to help him with the midterms, what we know save america pay $3 million to trump's new lawyer, or skies, out them with the mar-a-lago litigation. are republicans doomed if they continue rely on trump took bond their campaigns? >> even the ones who don't, even the ones who are outside of trump, the honorees sea, the republican senate committee, the republican congressional -- every email they sent out is a laura, trump romance number. help us save it for vector donald and his people. we will support trumpism.

it beats the same drum over and over again. as my grandmother would, say they're milking that capitalist dry. but, it's still hasn't dried. out those stole using it -- i'm using another war than she would've used. they will continue the scam intel they can't. so far, we've seen in the last seven years the name donald trump, for republicans, as a fund raising rocket fuel. it never seems to quite fade down. every republican who's raising money on the line are pretending that there are there are donald trump's best friend, or number one accolade, or the single person that he needs to come back into the white house. >> you know, rick wilson, don't know how he's going to run their grip from prison. maybe we should test that went out. work wilson they use much will be here this morning. say that again. >> linda rush, from the 1970s

and 80s, ran a very successful graffiti and ran for president from prison. there is a precedent for. we'll see. >> god, where. it was going and on such a high note. rick wilson, nice for being here. i appreciate it. still ahead, the power of women's rage. what's happening in iran right now is extraordinary. braverman they're fighting for equality, sometimes risking their very lives. next, a warning to speak with feminist writer alice shane hussein of, oh what the impact these parties are having here at home. you are watching the katie phang show. phang show for the all-new subway series menu the new monster has juicy steak and crispy bacon. but what about the new boss? it looks so good it makes me hangry! settle down there, big guy the new subway series. what's your pick? bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression

can take you to a dark place. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms. and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report fever, confusion, stiff or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be life threatening or permanent. these aren't all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor if latuda is right for you. pay as little as zero dollars for your first prescription. welcome back to the show.

we saw these and images at the beginning of the show, but i want to show you again. they are unbelievably powerful. dramatic scenes of iranian women cutting their hair and burning their head scarves in defiance of the nations compulsory veiling laws, in place for nearly four decades. this display of defiance isn't something new in iran. this time, for many, it's different. the sheer diversity and the force that these protests, according to witnesses, are unlike past tremors of unrest. a crumbling economy, political repression, and social restrictions. it seems to have inspired a younger generation. some say, they feel like they

have no other avenue but to take their anger through the streets, even if you're cost them their lots. you talk -- joining me now to talk about this extraordinary moment is anna -- feminist author, and the host of spilling chai podcast. thank you so much for being here. i know you've been following the story closely. you've been tweeting so much about it. i want to hear what your cup feeling is about what's happening in the streets of iran right now. >> katie, thank you so much for having me. thank you so much for covering this crucial story. what is happening in iran, katie, right now, is the start of the feminist revolution. although this is not the first time iranian women have taken to the streets, you know, they're at the forefront of protests in 1979, 2005, thousand nine but we have never seen, as you just stated the depth and diversity of protests like this. we have to remember we're talking about extremely educated population katy.

iranian woman are not like other women in the east they have an incredibly high literacy rate. 97% of women in iran are literally. they also make up the majority of iranian university students, about 70%. they also make up the vast majority of stem graduates like science, technology, what have you. we're talking about an extremely educated population, and it's extremely important to watch how these protests scale. katie, it's not just about the hijab. it is about state sponsored harassments of women murder of women, violence against women. katie, on a really personal note, i am married to a first generation iranian american. why two young daughters are iranian. half iranian. this is exactly why i have never let them go to the beautiful fatherland's, for so much of their family is from.

so many of my iranian family members, my sister-in-law told me this week stories i've never heard, that this could've been them. this could've been them. they could've been mohsen. it is so random how any woman on the street can be picked up like these morality police. this young woman was beaten today path. she was beaten to death in police custody. of course these riots aren't just this one isolated incident, this is not an isolated incident, it is about, as you said had a crumbling economy. political repression. they've had enough. the iranian government fears iranian women. we they know if anyone's going to bring down the regime, it's going to be iranian women. they're scared, they should be. >> and i, as you are saying, iranian women, they've been at the forefront, i'll be a quietly, in terms of organizing

underground for decades. explain to our viewers why this kind of repression is in lockstep to the kind of government regime that is specifically targeting women's rights, and really the next question for you, i guess, would be why now? if it's been simmering, didn't just take this to spark up? why is it happening right now? >> that is such a great question, such an important question, katie. iranian women have been organizing, as you've been saying, underground, under a believe that specifically targets the rights. katie, no group knows better than when and that democracy and women's rights go hand in hand. something is happening, katie. why now? because something is happening around the world's. and iran, women are fighting for the right to not be forced to wear the hijab. in india, women are fighting for the right to where the hijab. in america, women are fighting for the rights to determine when if we become, others one if we carry operated seat is her. there was a global feminist

woman's rights movements happening. we are at a turning point. the woman of the world, we have to support iranian women. they deserve our bagging, but they're also showing us the way. katie, in the next couple days, the next couple weeks, the iranian government is already cracking down hard. it's really difficult to get information from inside of iran. why fine internet services are being interrupted. it's really difficult to get information out of there. expect a really hard crackdown. we have to keep our focus on the story. we cannot stop focusing in talking about the story, even as things might go very dark over the next couple of days. the iranian women, the iranian people need the backing of the international committee. >> anna, shea that point that the more dark, gets right, the less information we get coming out of their, the more important is for us to shine a light on it. i pledge that we will always keep up with what is happening

there, and we would love to have you come back to talk about the development issues that are coming out of those protests. we hope that everyone can try to stay as safe as they can over there. they get for being here this morning. coming up, this past week may have been filled with a lot of heavy news as we just heard, but sometimes, we have to search for the stories that make a smile. from an emotional goodbye to a trump draft to make you laugh, you won't want to miss my picks for this weekend's best moments, caught on camera. right after the break. after the break. we've been coming here, since 1868. there's a lot of cushy desk jobs out there, but this is my happy place. there are millions of ways to make the most of your land. learn more at deere.com the tenth pick is in the new all-american club. that's a “club” i want to join! let's hear from simone. chuck, that's a club i want to join! i literally just said that. i like her better than you
