witnesses directly, but will in fact, be reviewin transcripts and such so, it's an odd construct. it's a construct that came about partly through the legislature and partly through case law so, it's not necessarily the construct that the legislature envisioned but that's what they have. so, if there is an indictment, if that indictment include donald trump, and if the manhattan da indites donal trump -- which, donald trump said, is going to happen on tuesday - he will have the unusual situation of facing tw prosecutions at the same tim in different states. and it's important for folks t realize that states are thei own sovereign. this is not run by the department of justice in washington they are their own sovereign with their own state laws, their own rules. and even if he becomes the president again, he will not have the power over thos prosecutions that he does, a least nominally, over th department of justice. so, it is a lot to handle as a

candidate for the presidency o the united states. >> it might also be a lot to handle for our country as well that is constantly being teste by this man and our lega system matthew dowd, it's always pleasure thank you for sticking aroun for us carol lam, please stick around yourself we are going to speak to you again later in the next hour the second hour of ayman i coming up in just a moment don't go anywhere. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ sometimes you're so busy taking care of everyone else only pay for what you need. you don't do enough for yourself, or your mouth. but eventually, it will remind you. when it does, aspen dental is here for you. we offer the custom dental treatments you need,

inside donald trump's mind - what was he thinking when he made that social media post an how will he react if unres actually happens plus, as a decision on medication abortion looms, vic president kamala harris has new warning on reproductiv rights and the gop's fake war on woke -- the newest target is designe to hide their backtrack record on financial regulations i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. ♪ ♪ ♪ this morning, donald trump claimed, without any evidence, that he would be arrested on tuesday amid talk of looming criminal charges in new york manhattan district attorney' office has not confirmed any charges, and even trump' advisers have said they do not have specific knowledge abou the timing of a possible indictment, citing only what they claim are, quote, illegal leaks. we do know that in recent weeks, prosecutors have been rampin up their investigations to the

2016 hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels and nbc news confirmed yesterday that local, state, and federal agencies have been preparing for an indictment as early as next week but, in true trump fashion, he is trying to get ahead of th story with the social medi post, facts be dammed. former house speaker nancy pelosi said donald trump canno hide from his violations of th law, disrespect for ou elections and incitement t violence and then there is the curren house speaker, kevin mccarthy, who along with several other maga republicans rallied aroun trump, which really comes as n surprise one big question for us tonight? how might criminal charges affect trump's 202 presidential bid trump has said that he would not drop out of the race i indicted in any of the investigations targeting him and the constitution does no bar someone with a crimina record from running fo president. his supporters appear to think

that's an indictment might actually boost his chances o winning, if you can follow tha logic. so, we find ourselves in a perverse position tonight of having to wonder if the lega accountability so many hav been calling for for so long might end in another trump presidency back with me this hour is msnb legal analyst carol lam. i'm also joined by msnbc political analyst brittany packnett cunningham, and alain beverly, former national deput director of african american outreach for obama's 200 campaign and host of our mayor podcast. it's great to have you her with us all this hour. carol, i will start with you michael cohen, his forme lawyer, trump's former lawyer, confirmed making that 130,00 dollar payment to stormy daniels. he said this earlier, to m colleague, the rev, al sharpton, on politicsnation. watch. >> today i was with a friend o mine for lunch super, super bright guy. he's well educated his comment to me was very

similar to the question that you are asking how is it that this tick eta type of a case is going to b the first impression that we have as americans, for a president to be indicted first time in u.s. history - again, the answer is, the la is the law it's the same way under the al capone, the capone theory -- they could not get him for murder, racketeering extortion. they could not get him for bootlegging or any of the othe crimes they got him for this. because, rest assured, alvin bragg is not making a mistake. >> carol, your thoughts to tha michael cohen analysis >> well it's entertainin listening to michael cohen i have to confess that so, prosecutors are often face with this decision particularly fraud prosecutors when you are looking at what i call a big defendant that's a significant defendant i don't think anyone can say that the former president is not a significant defendant.

you sometimes have what yo might characterize as potential big case and you sometimes have a potential smaller case and i will tell you that without exception, the large cases are the cases that are more difficult to prove. the more complicated the allegations, the harder -- the more potential defense there are. and sometimes, you have smaller case, where the fact and the evidence are jus staring you in the face. and they are just undeniable and i think that is what alvin bragg has here he has got the documents he has the check with trump' signature on it. he's got the testimony o michael cohen and of storm daniels. he has, apparently corroborating testimony from others who were vehicles i having this hush money paid. and i don't think it is fair i this situation to criticiz alvin bragg, for going through the case, where he has the stronger evidence. because when you have

potential case against a forme president of the united states you know that you can't take a case where the odds ar significant, that you are goin to lose that case. so, i would not criticize hi for going for the smaller case >> brittany, i mentioned it at of the top of the show - supporters believe this migh strengthen trump's hand. what do you make of this being used to his political advantag among republicans and among hi base, to help his candidacy in 2024 >> i am sadly terrified that they could be correct. i mean, this is why you leak information that is not actual information. because it doesn't seem to b based on any evidence or facts but we know that facts don't really matter to donald trump. and they don't matter to man of his supporters. look, january 6th was practice he figured out how to make the truth sound like a lie, how to use that lie to rally his base

and incite violence and to mak sure that that army wa positioned to defend his power his so-called riches and anything else he might wan them to defend at his beck and call and this particular loomin case seems to be no different. these are folks who have mad it clear that they seem to b excited by the idea of following somebody who is rebel without a cause or a clue because the idea that he could evade accountability and somehow manage and master hi own fate gives them the idea that they might be able to a well, irrespective of what i actually true or fair or just. so, unfortunately, i think the may absolutely be right. and i am worried about the fac that too many people are not ready for exactly this kind of approach >> alaina, trump's calls for protest in his post -- they echo words that were used or certainly ones that we hear before the january 6th capitol

attack and i want to be clear here. we are not saying that peopl would react in the same wa today. but we do see a pattern of trump calling on his supporter when things seem to be going against him. should that concern us >> absolutely. as brittany, just said, januar 6th was practice this is the way trump operates in order to control th narrative. but he is also mobilizing hi supporters and we know that, even today there are about 1000 peopl that the u.s. attorney i looking at for potential charges related to january 6th he has the ability to galvaniz extremists and they have the ability an the interest in being violent. and so, this is something that we should be concerned about but i am equally concerned and offended by, as you mentione at the top of the hour, kevi mccarthy also supporting donal trump and basically trying t undermine this prosecution saying it's an abuse of powe by a radical da, almost making

trump tantamount to a politica prisoner, because that als fuels the extremism that we ca see in the aftermath of this - he is using the full strengt of his power as speaker and th power of oversight as trump' personal defense and so, there are so man levels to this but it's all ticked off with donald trump's tweet thi morning. >> carol, can i get your thoughts here as a prosecutor? obviously, trump made hi arrest claim without evidence. alvin bragg's office has declined to comment, rightfull so trump's attorney has been doing, at least on this network, an interview with my colleague ar melber how might alvin bragg and hi team be reacting to th developments this week i mean, legally speaking wil this post, will that interview by his attorney change bragg's -- not necessarily his calculation, but perhaps his strategy >> i don't think it is going t change it a lot.

i was particularly intereste in the former presidents use o the word arrest. there is not going to be o arrest here. i will make that prediction. it is unnecessary and, frankly it would be unwise for alvin bragg to make this any more of a circus than others are going to claim it is and so, by using the wor arrest, trump is clearly tryin to rile up his supporters th same way he did when with th search warrant that wa executed at mar-a-lago so, when you are a prosecutor, you take a lot of hits and yet you know that the only way you can conduct yourself i to speak through your actions. if the grand jury indites, i indites. if it doesn't, it doesn't. if it indites, alvin bragg i then free to come forward an give a press conference base on the indictment. but prosecutors know that they don't do freewheeling things outside the four corners of th job.

and so i wouldn't expect any o this to influence what alvin bragg does >> carol lam, thank you so much, i greatly appreciated all of your insights. tonight brittany, alaina please stick around. we've got a lot more to discus with you coming up -- what was going through donal trump's mind when he decided t predict his arrest but first, jessica layton is here with the headlines. hey, jessica >> hey, ayman, thank you stories you are watching a this hour -- president volodymyr puti traveled to crimea, a day afte the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant against him for war crimes putin made the trip to mark th ninth anniversary of the russian annexation of crimea russia annexed crimea from ukraine back in 2014, a move that was deemed illegal by the united states. staying with the war in ukraine, a deal between kyiv and moscow that allows the shipment o grain exports from ukrainian ports through the black sea ha been extended. the agreement facilitates grai distribution to countries in africa, the middle east, and

about donald trump social medi posts, many of us starte wondering about hi motivations. why is this just trump yelling at his tv? or was this deliberate strateg to get ahead of the story? we know the self proclaime stable genius knows how to set in motion a narrative that the news media will run with so, let's dig into trump's possible state of mind wit someone who knows a lot abou it dr. bandy lee is a pioneerin expert on violence, who studie

violent offenders and prison gang leaders the characteristic similaritie she saw between trump and then candidate trump prompted her t go on the record about what sh and her colleagues call trump' dangerous psychology she went on to author th best-selling book the dangerou case of donald trump: 37 psychiatrists and mental healt experts assess a president and dr. bandy lee joins me now we should note that dr. lee ha not conducted a psychiatri examination of trump and we ar not going to make any diagnosi on the air now but there is a lot that we can certainly unpack dr. lee, it's great to have yo on the show. thank you for your time. based on what you and your colleagues studied, what do yo think was going through trump' mind when he posted on his social media site this morning was his motivation deliberat or reactive, do you think? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me.

when it comes to donald trump' psychology - and i'm glad you made th disclaimer that i do not mak diagnoses, and my colleagues have not either, and that we only tried to comment on his psychological aspects that there are a consequence to public safety and public health as for the tweet this mornin -- and he certainly put himself i the news, to get all the pundits speaking about his charges -- he has certainly done that i as intentional a way as one can, in his mental state. we know from his pattern o behavior that he is not very deliberate and not intentional but his actions wind up bein extremely strategic. and that is the kind o

dangerous psychology that we have tried to warn against and danger, again, is not diagnosis, but a critica aspect that we need to comment on and we need to be aware of. that, given his mental impairments and -- that he has had, the current situation of being charged wit a relatively common but usuall misdemeanor offense actually has the danger of propelling him to garnering even more support than he had before that is what people in his dangerous psychological stat do he has been active in the news he is now scheduled to attend giant rally next week at thi time in texas. and you can be sure he wil pull out all the stops so, from a psychological

standpoint, it does not bode well that there is no federa prosecution, only a local ne york state prosecution for something he did before he was even elected as president, whe in fact there are enormous offenses that are bein ignored. he incited an insurrection he attempted a coup, as neve before in our history. >> right >> he killed - hundreds of thousands of peopl through his deliberate mismanagement of the pandemic. these are huge matters that he should be prosecuted for but he is not. much like the first impeachment, when only two charges were brought, instead of an encyclopedia of charges, as wa warranted. >> can i - >> outmaneuver - >> no, no, i appreciate yo outlining a lot of his issues. i think a lot of our viewers are very familiar with a lot o the allegations against donald trump and his missteps and mismanagement and allege crimes over the years. but i want to ask you abou something he said today -- again, we don't want to repeat exactly what trump said in his post but he did call on his

supporters to protest. and some are making th comparison to his now infamous and dangerous call for actio after the 2020 election. why do you think he is returning to this tactic despite the fact that it got him in trouble in january of 2020 >> i'm not sure he will se january 2021 as having gotte himself in trouble i think he will see it as success, really. because he was able to push th boundaries a bit further in fact, he probably onl regrets that he did not go far enough, that he was not able t excite and incite his follower enough to be able to creat enough chaos that he could cal martial law. and so, i think what i commonly misunderstood is that

when he is being threatene with criminal charges, or he i in fear of being indicted, h will intimidate everyone he will threaten the country with civil war and try t incite violence, all the while pretending to be a man o peace. but we should not be afraid of his threats. what we need to do is to proceed with commensurat consequences to his crimes from a psychological perspective, the worst thing you can do with a dangerou individual is to bring n consequences it's actually critical that we bring federal charges in order to contain his dangerous behavior and bad influences. and that is how we contain dangerous individuals. there is as much a

psychological need for these charges as there are legal need in fact, i think it's more so psychological issue. because his impairments and hi dangers have foremost been psychological. it's only by virtue of his position that his psychologica dangers have translated into social, cultural, geopolitical and civic dangers. and the fact that we are not discussing his psychological dangers as the foremost concer is of concern. because, in fact, unless w address the psychologica dangers, none of the other dangers can be contained >> dr. bandy lee, i greatl appreciate your time and insights into this it's such a fascinating insigh into this mindset. because a lot is at stake here for our country and certainl for public safety. i greatly appreciate it. up next, a decision could occu any day now on women's acces

reproductive health. this is about basic health care understand what this means this there is so much abou this issue that really doe attack very fundamental issues and principles and on the fundamental issue a play with that court case is our public health system as whole. if politicians can start using the court to undo doctor decisions imagine where that could lead >> vice president kamala harri in iowa earlier this week no holding back about the ongoing attack on reproductive right in this country -- she was referencing forthcoming ruling o medication abortion by trump appointed federal judge matthe kacsmaryk, which could come an

day now. if he overturns the fda' approval of that drug, one o the two drugs that has bee used for certain abortions, th pill would no longer b available even in states where abortions are still legal. at a four-hour hearing thi week the judge seemed open t the argument that the drug could be unsafe even though th fda has repeatedly found the use of mifepristone to be safe and effective. we know that many gop le states have already passed nea total abortion bans, which includes the use of medication but last night, one governor doubled down mark gordon of wyoming sign bill specifically bannin abortion pills set to go int effect july 1st. back with me again are brittan packnett cunningham and alaina beverly. brittany, i will start with yo on this and this news out of wyoming. a near total abortion ban is already, as we've mentioned -- outlaw abortion pills in the

states that have them -- but in wyoming, the abortion ban was blocked by the courts. is this the governor's way o trying to push an abortion ban through? and what kind of message doe it send as we await for this ruling in texas? >> it's not only this governor 's attempt to try to circumven the courts and move forwar with a near total or total abortion ban across the state. this is also about testing different pathways to ba abortion across the country. look, the gop has been ver clear for the last 50 year that this was their goal they have organized and rallie people around the single issue of stopping abortion and acces to it for five decades they have nominated judges, as you've said. they've recruited volunteers and canvassers and candidates. this has been the way that the have built a so-called conservative agenda an

conservative party, a so-calle religious right, based on this single agenda for the last fiv decades, once again. so, this is all about making sure that there are many options for governors and fo mayors, for folks in state legislatures to figure out a way forward irrespective o what the courts say, of what the people say so, it is going to be up t congress to make sure that the actually enshrine the right to an abortion in federal statute there are millions of people across this country who though fought through difficult challenges, to show up at th ballot box, to make sure tha the right to an abortion was protected. and it's high time tha congress actually ensure tha that happens and stop thes threats from happening all ove the country. >> alaina, judge kacsmaryk delayed a public announcemen of the hearing in texas, which in and of itself was already drawing a lot of attention giving reporters very little time to make it to amarillo. he says it was to avoid

circus like atmosphere in on of the most important an consequential decisions in our country. your thoughts on why the judge postponed giving notice -- >> he certainly does not wan the public to be involved, t be able to speak up and spea out about this issue he does not want people to b able to be on the steps of the courthouse in showing how ther is support for medicatio induced abortion look, medication induced abortion is responsible is are -- over half of the abortion that take place in this country and women choose this. they rely on this, in part because of the convenience o it, because of the cost of it, because of the dignity o privacy and being able to carr out their reproductive rights. and this has very racialized component to it, in that african american women are 39% of the women who take advantag of abortions and reproductive rights an that access --

but also, this has very real financial and health consequences for african american women in particular we are two and a half time more likely to suffer maternal death in pregnancy. it's in part because o structural barriers within the health care delivery system in the way that we are treate when we go and seek care so, this is an important lif or death situation for women all across the country but women of color i particular, and the africa american community i particular - this judge, in rolling back th approval of mifepristone would be rolling back the approval o two decades of fda approval fo a drug that is safer tha taking tylenol so, he is going agains precedent. he is working along partisan lines. he's politicizing an issue tha is actually a very rea

financial and health - and life or death situation fo women across the country >> brittany, you have to abortion providers - at least two that of now the will not immediately sto prescribing mifepristone i judge kacsmaryk were able to overturn the fda approval. they will instead wait for a directive from the fda could we see and should we see more clinics and doctors tak this step? >> we absolutely should. look, an unjust law is not a law that we should b following. this is precisely what civil disobedience is supposed t look like. we recognize that there are so many people who have a role to play and we already know that abortion providers have been providing critical health care across the country and hav been vilified for it we know that their lives hav been threatened, that they are harassed and targeted ever single day and yet, so many of them, like the ones you have alread discussed, are willing to take that extra step to ensure that health care is protected i think that the reframing tha

vice president harris is doing is so critically important about bringing this back t fundamental issues because abortion is health care we are talking about fundamental issues of public health care, fundamental issue of freedom and liberty those things that the gop says they care so deeply about -- and yet they continue to pus against that freedom and liberty every day. so, i'm hoping that abortion providers, that clinics, tha drug stores across the country will do the noble an courageous thing and stand b the people and not fall for th partisan politics that hav been at play for the las several decades. >> brittany, alaina, pleas stick around we've got a lot more to discus after the break. republicans love the word woke so much that it has practicall lost all meaning i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato.

detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety.

detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato. i think i'm ready for this. i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. heck ya! with e*trade you're ready for anything. marriage. kids. college. kids moving back in after college. ♪ here's to getting financially ready for anything! and here's to being single and ready to mingle. who's ready to cha-cha?! moderate-to-severe eczema. it doesn't care if you have a date,... ...a day off,... ...or a double shift. make your move and get out in front of eczema... with steroid-free cibinqo. not an injection,... cibinqo is a once-daily pill for those who didn't respond to past treatments. and it's proven to help provide clearer skin and relieve itch fast. cibinqo continuously treats eczema whether you're flaring or not. cibinqo can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections.

blaming wokeness and dei policies for quite literally everything this week it is the bankin crisis, republican politicians like ron desantis, and james comer have been openly blaming silicon valley bank's failur on so called woke policies this of course as untrue svb's failure is due in part t a bank run, rising interes rates and overall mismanagemen by executives. but we also have to look at th role our government plays an all of this. specifically, a trump era la aimed at deregulating th banking industry see, back in 2018, congres rolled back oversight for a mi sized banks, exempting the from regulation such a complying with stress tests. in maintaining certain level of liquidity svb fell into that category. last week, federal regulator said they would cover all of svb's deposits to be clear, taxpayer dollar are not being used here. but we've seen the fed step in

he said, nobody knows what i means. it's provocative it lets the people going the idea that you can create this amorphous bogeyman -- this term, wokeism some will add that i s m suffi to make it sound just as evi as the racism, sexism that being woke is designed t fight. look, woke is a creation o african american vernacula english. and then it was colonized, weaponized by far-right folk who want to weaponize it against the very people wh created. it and if you can create this big bad, bogeyman in wokeism, that doesn't actually mean anything -- but it means everything that you are afraid of, then it can be used to be a code word fo everything from replacemen theory to actually scapegoatin republican actions like th bank deregulation that cause the failure of this bank in 1960, lyndon been baine

johnson was -- and he turned to this aid, and he noticed the same thing that so many of us have noticed for so long. he said, if you can convince the lowest white man that he i better than the lowest colored man, then he won't notice yo picking his pocket -- weaponization of wokeness ha been used to drive wedge between communities that shoul be operating in solidarity for a long time. it has been used to have a continued caste system and it's been used to make sure, even though the republican bas -- that are against their bes interests. and this, unfortunately, goe right along with that. >> you know, brittany, w always appreciate a good cultural reference on the show i think that made that first blades of glory, will ferrel shout-out that we've got we appreciate you breaking som

new ground on this show. alaina, svb's investments in projects such as affordabl housing, mobile renewabl energy, we actually only amounted to about 8% according to one of the recent reports and they ranked pretty average when it came to commitment t diversity. they're not like a benchmark o a shining example. what do you think republican are playing at when they denounce wokeness and diversit initiatives for a bank collapse what's the underlying messag you think they are trying to send >> i think the underlyin messages, look over here because we don't have a real answer to the deregulation problem of the banks we don't have an answer fo what was the real problem with svb, where they were taking on large-scale depositors, over $ million a pop. and far over the fdic insuranc limits and all of thos large-scale depositors pulle their deposits out on monday and that was the problem

there were no stress tests there were no pressure tests for these regional banks including svb. and the republicans don't have a solution to it so, instead, they are going to say, this is about wokeness. for them, wokeness is, a brittany, a said, it's synonymous with everything black, everything diversity. and anything that you ca attach fear to, for them - but svb had nothing to do with diversity. it had nothing to do with thei great investments in community it had to do with the fact tha they were taking on undue risk and they were not making sur that they were complying wit regulations. and that's why it's so important -- >> go ahead, go ahead. sorry, finish your thought >> - that's why it's important that elizabeth warren - the bill introduced by elizabeth warren and katie porter, to roll back the trump era deregulation, and make sur that stress test will apply to these mid size the regiona banks. it's important

we are also seeing the biden administration take action against executives that ar trying to sell off their share and to sell off their stock, but before the banks failed. so, they are processes we need to put in place to make sure that we are not -- that that consumers have confidence and that we are not at a place or banks are failin on because they are taking o undue risk >> - sorry, i was just going to jum in to say that i completel agree with you on that point i feel that's incredible tha we are unable as acai societ and as a government to learn from these mistakes, we're talking about where the 90 banks being bailed out by th federal government to the tune of 600 billion dollars and then we are having a debat about student debt relief, which would cost 380 billion dollars over ten years and we are still having this debate in our society. brittany packnett cunningham and alaina beverly, thank yo so much for your time, thank you so much for joining us thi evening. after our break, my fina thoughts on the big news of th day and how our two politica parties react to it. stay with us

the show with a reflection o the two political parties in america and how each has reacted to donald trump social media posts. and those reactions are best encapsulated by what we hear from the current and forme speaker of the house today, former speaker nanc pelosi released a statemen that read in part, the forme presidents announcement this morning is reckless. doing so to keep himself in th news and to foment unrest amon his supporters - he cannot hide from hi violations of the law, thi disrespect for our elections and incitements divide violence rightfully, our legal system will decide how to hold hi accountable. that's what needed to be sai today. dismissing the bulk of trump's words while also condemning hi calls for protest. almost every elected democra reacted to trump in one of two ways - not saying anything or condemning the protest calls like nancy pelosi did. and then you have the curren speaker, kevin mccarthy.

he chose to react differently, tweeting that he would b directing congressiona committees to, quote immediately investigate if federal funds are being used t subvert our democracy by interfering in elections wit politically motivate prosecutions the district attorney has done nothing yet. he hasn't announced if there will be charges. he hasn't said what thos charges might even be. but kevin mccarthy is so beholden to donald trump tha he believes whatever is coming is wrong if anything is coming, n matter what, he want investigations launched becaus trump posted on social media this is the kevin mccarthy w have always known -- the same kevin mccarthy wh embraced trump just weeks afte he incited a violent insurrection at the capitol in an attempt to stay in office and many other elected republicans echoed the sentiments of kevin mccarthy these republicans are so programs to defend donald trum that their statements resemble

i'm outraged mad libs, inser what issue to be angered by, and they will fill in th blanks but if there is one take awa from these desperate reactions it's this. kevin mccarthy has picke donald trump over the rule o law. and many other republicans hav now done the same. i want you to remember that. as long as much kevi mccarthy's speaker, he wil always - always - pick donald trump. a quick programming -- note starting tomorrow, former white house press secretary je psaki will bring her insider expertise to msnbc every sunda at noon eastern. she's going to explore the week's most pressing political and cultural stories through one-on-one interviews with new makers, and pull back th curtain on the every day lives of notable lawmakers and thought leaders. in her inaugural show jen psak will be joined by hous democratic leader hakeem jeffries, governor gretche whitmer, and mayor eric adams. watch inside with jen psaki, premiering tomorrow at 12:00
