the fox news case. tuesday, fox news, agreed to pay 700 and $87 million to the voting system company. before the trial eve officially began, why didn't they make that decision. why was it up to the very last moment >> two possibilities, one, the really - and they will make that mistak again. there are other cases on the horizon. or second, dominion, at least, insisted on not talking unti they got that very favorable summary judgment ruling that gave them a significan tailwind, and so they were not -- until a lot of people get sobe on the courthouse steps. >> also, harry, dominion has lawsuits pending against newsmax, oan, michael ceo, michael intel -- rudy giuliani, cindy powell, a lot going on, do you think those cases will also and in settlements as we just saw >> well, that'll be what the want, of course, they're not talking about deep pockets a

much, but they have, especiall paul and giuliani, remember -- the whole defense was going to be, yeah those other guys were lying, but we were just puttin it on very strong case cases against powell and giuliani in particular they are now set to go to tria and mid 2024, most cases lik this settle, and that's what was, there was this missed opportunity or possibility wit the trial itself with dominion but most cases settle, so yes, i suspect they would, bu dominion will have robus settlements. >> we'll see how big those umbrella policies are, right terry lippman, thank you ver much, i appreciate your time a always >> thank you >> in the next hour, congres woman -- reacts to the unthinkable. that we now have to think abou every day america's gun crisis later, the outburst of - reacts to her latest outrage it all starts now.

>> and good day from msnbc world headquarters welcome to alex witt reports i'm filling in for alex today, we will start with coach war front and center as the 2024 race for the white house he' out with an announcement expected from president bide in the coming days we have new reaction this hour to the supreme court rulin last night keeping the abortio pill mifepristone availabl until a lower appeals cour rules on the ban imposed by texas judge. that appeal is set to begin on the 17th as well as democrat sounding the alarm that th fight is not over. >> this decision was a temporary victory. this is hardly the end of ou fight to protect a woman's health and a woman's right t choose make no mistake about it, th hard right anti choice mag when in this country, we wil keep working and working t take away all women's rights

we will fight it and fight it. >> also new today, the house weaponization committee is taking a victory lap and alvin bragg has cut a deal with ji jordan to allow former prosecutor mark to appea before the committee on ma 12th they're investigating the hush money payments investigation that led to don trump bein indicted for falsifyin business records a new reaction to a bill passe banning transgender women an girls from competing in female school athletics although that bill has n chance of passing th democrat-controlled senate, th -- just in the last hour, new reaction to the airman accused of leaking classified document in the court shut. the ranking democrat on th armed service committee saying that he shares the frustration of high ranking lawmaker following a classified briefing >> i share that frustration, i was at the house briefing couple of days ago

they didn't tell us anything real i'm not satisfied until we kno exactly what what the whit house is doing to try to get a handle on these leaks. they have not kept us informed about why they are doing this. a lot of this is classified. we will talk about it on television, but they have been telling us that in a classifie setting. the disturbing thing is that all this information, we don't even know what was out there >> we have reporters fro washington, iowa with th latest developments on the story. i'm gonna start with chloe atkins chloe, what we expect now abou the fight over middle person >> so as of right now, mifepristone remains accessible. they moved to preserve the status quo despite the moving to preserve the status quo, having up to ten weeks and being able t obtain it by mail. we did see justice alito say that the defendants which ar compromised fda, the pil

manufacturer, they said they weren't able to prove that the would occur harm while thi case played out. he also said that that means regulatory changes will remain in 2016, that would keep peopl from being able to obtai access to the pill i do want to remind folks, i we roll back the time to a year, 2000, access to that drug look very different than what w know as of today since the yea 2016 we would see the amount of way that people are able t maintain it. people will have to go int clinic multiple times to get that drug. as i said, it would drasticall shift access especially in states where abortion is legal, like places like new york and california we did hear from the president who spoke with msnbc not too long ago weighing in on this case, take a listen. >> it undermines decades of fd president. it's important for folks t understand, this has muc bigger ramifications than just

abortion rights. although that is what my organization that focuses on this could undermine the entir fda that system. that's why we're seeing bi pharma, the a.m.a., and a lo of the organizations jumping into this case >> and so richard, the nex steps in this case, it will go to the fifth circuit where a judge panel, we don't know who those judges are just yet, but they will hear the merits of the case they are going to take it into the law. they will issue their fina judgment on just his ruling. seeing if they see it fit to b correct or sound in thei perspective. we couldn't then very much see it going to the supreme court, around the year 2024, righ smack dab in the middle of the election >> chloe atkins, thank you ver much for the latest on that. now two decision 2024 an abortion expected to be a ke issue in the race for the whit house. we have two reports on som important moving parts thi weekend. first monica at the whit house. and monica, how the presiden

reacting to the supreme cour ruling in his favor ahead of his expected big announcement? >> this is something the white house was bracing for, waiting for this as it takes so clos to the deadline. yesterday richard, everybody from the president, the vice president, the prosecutor said yes, this is essentially temporary relief and they were happy to see the supreme court take this action for now overall, they are still very concerned about what could happen in the future as it relates to abortion access the president said that he wil continue to move alongside his vice president and fight for millions of women and thei reproductive health and rights to this kind of medication he's going to continue t defend the fda's what they cal evidence based approval of thi drug for more than 23 years. it has deemed safe and effective so far but you're right, this is a bi backdrop and important context

anticipated reelection announcement that could have a early as next week as abortion is likely to be a key issue in that race. that's something the white house points to, but last year 's midterms cooley showed that this issue is and energizing one for voters this is something also that th president, when he does likely announce this via video in the coming days, this is something that he is going to add to other accomplishments in terms of what they feel they've been able to do from a legislativ point of view. and then on battles that the are still waging like abortion access i think we'll expect to hear a little bit about that. overall we are hearing fro lawmakers, democratic allies o the president on how they ar assessing another run the whit house. here was congressman adam smit just last hour on that >> president biden, all things going on for last two years, h has a really good job. when you look at what wa accomplished in the last two years as we are trying t combat the pandemic. the passage of the

infrastructure bill, the chips act as a way to help us deal with this threat from china. i think the way he is brough the world, the coalition together to help ukraine against russia the president is doing a goo job. i think he clearly is th strongest democrat right now i look forward to hi announcement, i look for t supporting him and his reelection bid >> now in terms of what should we should expect to see next week, richard, this will b some major splash-y campaign rollout or announcement likely again. this will be in the form of video tweeted out. it comes likely on the fou year anniversary of when canad -- that was back in 2019. this is someone who likes to see that sort of symbolism com together with a little bit o sentimentality and mark some o these adversaries. that is why it is on that day. as we were told many times nothing is completely final an tell the president signs off o it and we expect that to happe

in the next 48 hours or so richard. >> falling 2024 for us at th white house. also on the way to 2024, republicans of a presidentia bid, heading to iowa, ther will be conservatives at the freedom coalitions spring it kick off this weekend. ali of italy is coming you just spoke with senator ti scott just moments ago, what did he tell you? >> we are here for what is the official count of all of the 2024 republican primary. for faith and freedom, several of the candidates are out th area around des moines including tim scott who have gotten a chance to catch u with twice over the course of two weeks. in a conversation, we have had multiple talks about the rol that abortion will play in thi upcoming primary for scott, he once again reiterated to me that he i comfortable with where the courts are going to adjudicate on the abortion pill at one point last week and our exclusive interview telling me that he thought that this wa the right form despite the fac

that it could set a preceden for judges, not doctor approving medication for americans. but for scott, there's also th larger question of when he makes an campaign an officia one. here's what he told me a few minutes ago. >> why do you feel like yo have to go from exploratory to official >> i guess the simple answer is, i continue to tour farms and businesses in churches it gives me an opportunity t understand whether or not i' focused on, which is a positiv message. i think it is working, it is always working we will continue to make that. likely you don't michael really isn't to figure out the timeline, but to d that >> so look, his goal might not be to think about the timeline but certainly that is somethin that i'm thinking about, man advisers are thinking abou that as well

we are watching right now is much of a field or unofficia primary mode the names that we often talk about, ron desantis for exampl has not yet announced hi presidential tensions, certainly for scott, he is somewhere in between that righ now. but it is notable when you loo at who is actually coming ou to these events tonight. the fact that you are going to see tim scott onstage alongsid hutchinson, former vic president mike pence former president donald trum will be here, sort of. he will be live, but he will b remote for this event. but still, it's a varied lis of who's who in republican primary politics as we officially kick off this thing >> ali, thank you so much. ali vitali for us live the shocking shootings may hav one thing in common, congres member joins us in 60 second on that. plus, what the abortion pill case means for political strategies ahead strategies ahead with our two-year-old. so naturally, we doubled down with a new puppy. thankfully, we also have tide ultra-oxi with odor eliminators. between stains and odors, it can handle double trouble.

california a huge bill is forcing parts o the coastline in long beach to close. approximately 250,000 gallon of waste flooding into the l.a river and then the ocean officials saying here, and a quid malfunction caused temporary blockage in the sewe system beachgoers say that they are disappointed that they canno get in the water this weekend. >> it's gonna be nice weeken and we can't go to the beach it is also very trash an polluted so, it just sucks, we love t go in the water, this is a hug touristic attraction you have people from all of th world coming out to long beach and i'm just questioning where is our tax dollars going beaches already, the water's polluted, it's been like tha for a while. it is disappointing. >> there's no word on when those speeches will reopen, bu health officials say that they are monitoring the water quality until it meets state requirements oh yeah, this is happening, on this earth day in cape coral, florida communion members are helpin clean up from a differen

natural disaster hurricane ian which struck seven months ago is stil leaving its mark stephanie stanton is there stephanie, good afternoon, wha is the scene like? >> good afternoon to you richard. happy earth day as well. as you mentioned, it has bee seven months since hurricane ian came ashore here in cape coral. it came ashore as a category four hurricane but just earlier this month, the national hurricane cente actually upgraded to a categor five the storm caused more than 100 million dollars in damage, als more than 100 people lost thei lives. here's more interesting fact provided to us by the city o cape coral about the hurricane in case you didn't notice. the hurricane was, is th largest storm in u.s. history. it also left behind 4.5 year of construction and demolition debris and seven years o vegetative debris. officials say that while man

of the larger structures hav been feared, there are smaller debris and trash here in the area that needs to be deal with >> when you drive down the street, you see the smal pieces of paper, the bottles things of that sort. so before a rainy season reall hits, we want to make sure tha we have had to be picked up. not only will it be easier now but we don't want that debri to be washing into our waterways. >> this is one of the ways tha we can get back. but of course, you can donate, you can go to certain things donating your time, that i really precious. >> and this is definitely community effort while all of this is going on, climatologist are looking ahea to this year's hurricane season climatologist from the colorad state university are predictin 13 named storms was si hurricanes, two of them majo hurricanes richard, that is the scene her in cape coral. this committee is workin

together this earth day. as we know, especially livin here on the coast, it is never settled because there is alway out next season. >> that comes down the pike. thank you so much stephani stanton, we appreciate it. now to the legal fight involving abortion pills tha is far from over the supreme court is now allowing access to key abortio drug last night, the high court blocking a low court rulin that would've limited access t -- the case plays out the fifth court of appeals joining me now is pennsylvania congressman summer lee a democratic member of the house oversight committee. representative, the data you and what is your reaction to the ruling that came in over the night. do you believe that this cas will end up back at the suprem court? >> well, we have to recogniz that there is still a chance that it does and be prepared for that the reality is that yesterday' ruling and hopefully as more information comes out, this is correct, this is a safe drug we have to be incredibly prudent that we recognize th

direction that we are going in a court or judges able to go back against all of th information, all the medical and scientific information w have and that is what we are seeing here to stop this is a good sign. we recognize that is not the last time we hear it >> our turn to another topic i've been watching very closel as well as other members we're seeing a number of tragi shootings of people goin through the wrong house, wrong driveway, or the wrong car the grandson of andrew lester, the man charged with shootin ralph after mistakingly goin to his house said this about his grandfather. >> i feel like a lot of people of that generation, they are caught up in this 24 hour news cycle, fear, paranoia, perpetuated by some other news stations he was fully into that he watched fox news all da every day. it was blowing in his living room i think that stuff reall

reinforces the negative view o minority groups and it leads people to -- it doesn't lead people to be racist, but it galvanizes race people and their beliefs >> representative, does this help make sense of how point sugar seems to become knee-jerk reaction for som individuals in some cases? these shootings, what's th shootings tell you about gun culture in the u.s.? >> yeah, i think that is absolutely one critical poin here these are folks who are bein radicalized, these are folks who are having the diocese confirmed. in his 24 hour news cycle. they're having their biase confirmed on social media as w see what is happening on twitter and other places they see it happening in our political arena. the rhetoric is so intense tha these folks are getting th message that when you shoo someone who is of a differen ideological perspective fo different race, people who sometimes are calling thei enemy, they are not murderous,

but they are mortars it is important that we push back on that and we recogniz how we've gotten to this point yes, don't culture plays a hug role in that but for why we have the gu culture, the race, the class issues, the political issues those are all intersecting right now how determined >> what will be generational issues as you saw, that was the grandson talking about the grandfather. in these cases, we're no seeing the typical, if you will, prototype or architect that ha been reported on in the past where it is a young man. in this case, and in a coupl of cases in the past week, i has not been that ti defecation >> we know that young people overwhelmingly support mor liberal policies, they are recognizing them they are more impacted by gu violence young people, this is th generation of students who gre up with active shooter drills. they absolutely recognize ho harmful our gun culture is they absolutely recognize an see their grandparents, thei parents, their neighbors being radicalized. we have been speaking ou against it we have been marching agains

it they have been voting agains it no, i'm not surprised at all this is, as we see, ou generational divide, we see ou seniors, our elders who are at home or. they are watching the tv more. they are now more susceptibl to the propaganda and th message is, the young folks wh don't have to watch it and hav other strains media. >> part of what we saw in th last three years president biden is set t launch his reelection campaign he may have heard about it nex week levy supporting his 2024 bid i he does come up? >> listen, i think that' always the question. people want to know, particularly with progressives will we support? i'm ready to support our party pushing our country in the right direction. 2024 is gonna be incredibl important, when we get to th democratic nominee, and you ge to the general election, i'm all in for our party i'm also gonna be all in o making sure that we are holdin them to account on the sam issues that young people are marching on, are fighting for.

environmental justice, gun control today, i think that' what my role is right now. >> house speaker kevin mccarth is eyeing a vote on a proposal to raise the debt limit on cutting spending to pocketbook in order what concerns you most about the cuts being proposed an should the president, as som democrats are saying, go t mccarthy to try to strike deal >> i think the thing tha concerns me most is ho emboldened this party is they are so upfront about thei pro-starvation agenda. they're so upfront about their war on poor people the war on marginalized people this seems like they don't hav any impediments to that agenda i think it is important that democrats hold a ground. there should be no, no agreements until we say that social security, snap benefits medicaid, they are untouchable we have to send that message that we will not negotiate o those things that are keepin

people alive right now >> you know, i want to move to something that i know you care about. we will mark earth day, we saw some earlier reports you are among those wh introduced a green deal fo help this week give us a sense of how thi legislation will help u.s. health care system respond and find a change? >> certainly, in many ways we know that first of all, our workforce. i live in pittsburgh where w have a hospital monopoly but so many of our health care workers are under insured, these are folks who have medical debt these are communities where we have the greatest needs becaus of our environmental crisis, whether it be pollution, asthma, copd, we also have hospitals are leaving our communities. one hospitals need those communities. it would make sure that worker are able to unionize, that workers were able to get the care that they also need but also, want to make sur that we are using dollars to invest in and infrastructure and building on medical centers,

making sure that they ar sustainable buildings also so it is sweeping and it i just one part of the green new deal, but an important part. >> representative, thank you s much, have a great birthday, from pennsylvania, he got it next, republicans in the house passing a bill this week the know it will never become law. of all the issues facing the country, why did they choose this specific issue? new reaction today from member of congress next. member of congress next. you about the greatest roster ever assembled. the monster, the outlaw... and you can't forget about the boss. sometimes- you just want to eat your heroes. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. i bought the team! kevin...? i put it on my chase freedom unlimited card. and i'm gonna cashback on a few other things too. starting with the sound system...

led house efforts to ban transgender women and girl from competing in a female school athletics julie joins us now julie, there is no chance this bill will pass the senate, but what are you hearing about i on the hill? >> with zero democratic vote in the house, i should add you asked the question, wh would a republican continue to pass bill after bill that ha no shot at even making it to the floor of the democratic-controlled senate it is because we might be an early part of 2023, but al lawmakers appear to have their sights on 2024 that big election coming up. they are showing with this bill, with the parents bill of rights, that they passed also with n democratic votes a few weeks ago. they are all in on culture war issues they think this plays to their base, to their primary voters. this is really all about messaging on that. take a listen to what prominen democrat, the chair of the progressive caucus in the hous had to say earlier today about this >> particularly for youn

people, this is like they don' belong they are not worthy, they're not worthy of the same light and dignity as everybody else. honestly, is making them reall lose faith in government because the idea tha governments will come along an tell people that in school were going to examine you an your reproductive anatomy in order to determine whether o not you are a female is just insane they are trying to distract th american people from the fac that they don't have any rea solutions to address the issue that people have they are trying to use trans kids >> now, obviously in recen years we have seen more an more a republican-led stat legislatures try to pass anti-lgbtq rights, trying to ban books from schools but just as you heard from them, democrats can message on thi to, on the flip side

and they can paint republicans as extreme anello touch. >> all right, correspondent, julie tsirkin, thank you s much new reports, trump is narrowin his shortlist for a runnin mate and some of the names i his file may surprise you. and, take a look at this people viewing the norther lights were surprised to see this blue spiral in the skie over alaska. it is real, it looked like a small galaxy and appeared fo just a few minutes it turns out that it was jus extra fuel released from a spacex rocket that launch from california few hours earlier that fuel turned to ice an reflected the sunlight creating this stunning scene

run for the white house. after months of him -- the president could launch his reelection campaign as soon as tuesday. that they would mark the anniversary of biden's 202 campaign announcement. joining us now is this senio adviser and former democrati congresswoman of florida seth meyer, senior adviser for the project at uva center fo politics and former go congressional communications director good to see both of you, let start with you timing, tuesday is what we are hearing. it is also a symbolic update it is been reported that the

president does like symbolic dates. could you have waited a bi longer here and that the republicans kind of fight it out on that. >> he could have, but i thin having anytime that it politician has sentimental value and meaning to them. it comes across more authentic that is something that i naturally for joe biden. he is that guy he wears his heart on hi sleeve this is a day that is importan him, he feels that it is symbolic, that's what he wants to use i think that his advisers ar smart to let him go ahead an do that. what it also does is it stop any talk or any possibilitie of other candidates coming i on the democratic side because we have murmurings for so long then some democratic circles about whether he would actuall won, is he okay to run i can tell you that for th years that i spent on th republican side, republicans could never do that. they stick with the principle, they stick with their too thic and thin

as we saw with donald trum unfortunately. but it pains me to see democrats sometimes falter a little bit on answering th question straight ahead. will you support president biden and his reelection the answer should be unequivocal yes. he has had a very successful presidency he has a lot of things that he should be able to brag about as a first term president, and democrats need to solidly ge behind him and end any rumor mill of him not running or not qualified to run, portable stop it. this is about winning. you need to support your president of the united states he's doing a great job sell it. >> so debbie, to you on this so far biden, as we know, he will face marion williamson, robert f. kennedy junior do they need to say stop it? expect anyone else to jump i the race depending on what she was saying >> absolutely not. and richard, let's be honest not to insult the other tw individuals who have filed t run for president, but they're not gonna be able to get the support that it requires a

this point with a country that is so terribly polarized let's remember where w started. president joe biden took a country that was left scarre after the january 6t insurrection, he has done so much that we need to remember. i think that is going to be th mission of the democratic part and the president to remin america that he was able t pass on the most monumental an historical bipartisan bill addressing the production act. making sure that we provid safer communities addressing them violence issues and investing in climate options. i think that he has a year and a half to tell the story o what he has been able to accomplish and so much more that needs to be done. >> let's move over to th republican side. david has been reporting o potential running mates fo donald trump he is either to pick a candidate who is ideologically aligned, has charisma and hi loyal, one gop consultant also as the trump would like th person to be tv ready, not

surprising insider saying that there have not been any formal discussion to narrow that pool. those suspected to be on the shortlist based on trump's thinking included marjorie taylor greene. nikki haley, sanders, christian, and kari lake. tara, who stands out to you on this list? >> well it depends on what w are defining as stands out if you want to talk about wh is the most crazy on that list the most dangerous on that list? who are democracy donors on th list that would be marjorie taylo greene and kari lake if you want to talk abou people that have been unwillin to stand up for our democrac and stand up for the fundamentals that make our democracy great? that is all of them. they have all sold out, they'v also their souls as far as i'm concerned, every single one of them i unqualified to be not only i the positions they hold now, but to be a heartbeat away fro the presidency they are embarrassing. marjorie taylor greene i particular, who seems to b leading the pack now, she is leading the republicans up o capitol hill not kevin mccarthy

and she is a confederate wan to be troll. that is what she does. she makes a mockery of the office she does not espouse the democratic values in m opinion. mega is not compatible wit democracy. what donald trump is proposing and we have seen this lately i the report, about how he wants to be retribution for people and wants to reenact some type of soviet-era authoritarianism in america, it tells you right there that these people are no in favor of democracy. they hate a pluralistic societ which is what makes ou democracy thrive we should pay attention. it will be the mega mean girls competition here to try to get the attention of don trump, an maga the other one as far as i'm concerned, non of them are qualified, heartbeat away from th presidency she had her comment struck fro the republican-led house committee this week after this exchange let's take a listen. >> how long are you going to continue this outrage, complet

that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. powell

joining me now is politica investigations reporter for th guardian, hugo powell. he, go great to see. you what is the status of al of those civil suits there are many of, them ar there any other indication that they may also be settle before they go to trial? >> yeah, i think it is too early to say if it's going t be settled with dominion it was settled right at the 11th hour the real test for fox is going to be how is it going to navigate through all of thes suits --

given that fox has already sai the initial one and the fact that we have this bi smartmatic defamation lawsui also looming they got away with not havin to apologize or admit fault in the first settlement, but that effectively paved the way fo other companies to fill in and also try to extract the same >> if you go on the fox news case, the washington pos saying a secret mediator ste in at the last minute to facilitate the multi million dollar settlement. who is this person what happened during those final moments before the trial everybody wants to know. >> essentially, it is billionaire investment banke kind of guy, right i mean, it's so typical that this is the kind of person tha ends up mediating and brokerin this kind of deal. but it's also the kind of deal that, i think, fox would do. and it's interesting that it took - it wasn't the lawyers workin the south, this was a median

the lawyers rotted themselves, it might have come out a different outcome. especially lawyers who may actually want to go to trial because they like the discover phase of this, especially on dominion's side. this actually is a bad thing for fox going forward becaus it means that the bar has been said, they're going to have to go through the same thing. -- >> one might say some bi numbers with that president. looking ahead, the e. jean carroll civil case begin tuesday. what can we expect there, an will donald trump make a appearance on it >> no, trump will not make a appearance as of right now and i called up the trunk lega team a few days ago anderson's was there was no trave expected for trump to go to ne york but this may well cause hi problems, if you look at recen legal filings, joe tacopina, one of the defense lawyers i that case, tried to get th judge to tell the jury you know, trump is excused because w didn't want to cause a burde

on the city of new york city t have this ex president come in and he got rebuked by the judg presiding in this case sayin we'll, if trump can go to ne hampshire, if he can show up a public events that he ca definitely come to a courtroom and defend himself at trial, and so i don't think that went well, it doesn't look great in front of a jury >> he, go thank, you hugo loyall of the guardian political investigator reporter, thank. you >> that does it for us on, this edition of alex, report i'm richard in for alex toda and i'll see you at 1 pm eastern tomorrow my friend yasmin segui continues our coverage >> hi, everybody good to see good afternoon i'm yasmin vossoughian a rare legal victory for abortion, right supreme cour allowing mifepristone to sta on the market for now. up but the battle is far fro over, we're going to dive into what all of this means and wha is next, over the next few hours.
