how dangerous they can get at the border. so i think at the bottom line here at the end of the day, people are spending as much time as they possibly can. having those little fans, personal fans and ministers. because it is hot, lindsay? >> yeah all, right, marissa -- thank you to your new yorker. >> let's head to paris, where champion has been crowned for the 110th edition of the tour difference. as one of the world's premier bike race for the second straight. here the 60 -- 26-year-old sailed through the finish line of the champs-élysées with a final time of 79 hours, and 16 minutes. seven and a half minutes ahead of the second place finisher. a big congratulations. >> we have got a lot more coming, up you are watching msnbc, our second hour starts right now. >> welcome back everyone, i'm lindsay in four -- and as a new indictment,

potentially looms for -- over what it all means. a potential sign that accountability may have arrived for the former president. >> they seem to be focused on what seems overwhelmingly -- obstructed peaceful cancer, power and substitute the actual electoral process with a counterfeit one. >> as you, no criminal charges have everything to do with intent. what the president's state of mind was. >> sure. >> and i don't honestly know what his intention was that day. whether as he spoke to that crowd, as he tweeted during the riots, the rights itself. >> and a dire warning of what a second trump term could mean for the country. coming from a former member of his administration. miles taylor joins me later this hour about his new book,

whether he has been contacted for the special prosecutor. plus, no labels under fire. >> their third party plan will steal the election from joe biden, and handed to donald trump. >> one group is hitting the airwaves to take on the organization, that they launched what it calls is, -- critics fear that could lead to that second trump term. and we are keeping a close eye on israel where it is underway, and a vote just hours away, on a law that has led to weeks of massive protests and a nation divided. that is coming up. we begin this -- is action surrounding the 2020 election, here is some of that. >> well his words were reckless. based on what i know, i am not yet convinced that they were criminal. >> i would rather that these issues of the judgment about his conduct on january 6th be left to the american people in the upcoming primaries.

>> president trump was wrong on that day. he is still wrong and asserting that i had the right to overturn the election. >> to talk about this and more, nbc's ryan riley joins me now ryan, the answers seem a bit contradictory here. what is your reaction to what we are hearing from friends today? >> you, know pence seemed really focused on this idea that donald trump is going to be charged with his -- something to do with his speech on january 6th. and what he was intending for the crowd to do. and i think that it has been pretty clear that that is really not where a lot of this is going. because the first amendment red flags that go around that are really difficult to maneuver and overcome. the president, former president has the right to give a speech, he has the right to tell his supporters -- protected first political activity there. even to put pressure on lawmakers. he didn't explicitly tell them that smashing those windows, break into the capital, storming the building. that's not what we saw him

actually say. in fact, he said peacefully march down to the capitol. so the more likely way that the prosecutors are going to go about this, is to focus on some of the for obvious measures that donald trump knew that even if he thought that the end goal in his mind was justified, that he had to no were illegal. to move forward with. so i think that that's why you're seeing such a focus on some of the fundraising efforts of the campaign. that is why you see a lot of focus on the fact fake electors scheme. this idea of having individuals swear that donald trump -- present them to congress as an alternative electors slate. sort of muddy up the process. those measures which -- could be something the prosecutors present -- could've seen charges along time ago, to one half years ago

for the last sample of what don trump said was illegal, it wasn't. >> i want to ask you about some of what i learned from our interview -- namely that she hasn't been called -- that is likely because her testimony wouldn't be needed in front of the grand jury. but what do you make of that given everything that we know at this point? >> yeah, i think that is about right. we have had other interest in instances where they presented testimony that has come another waves to a grand jury. you can see that in miami where we saw that grand jury get a bunch of information that was presented to the other grand jury, and just sort of import that. what is the most important is that his first amendment, or sorry, those first person interactions. and, you know, you can't introduce hearsay into a lot of these grand jury proceedings. you really have to get it sorted straight and it's just -- someone who actually knows, was there in the room, and a lot of instances. i think that is why we are seeing such a focus --

when an individual who was really close the door, trump wasn't the, circles wasn't a lot of these -- testified where the grand jury. the awkward thing is that he is still on the books for donald trump. is being paid for his quote unquote work for the campaign as well as his legal bills are being covered. so that is why you see that interest in someone who has now come back three times. for this country. it's very clear the grand prix is very focused on what exactly was donald trump's state of mind in the intermediate period between 2020 election and january 6th. >> they, brian riley, thank you. >> okay -- democrat of california, so, congresswoman, thank you for being with us. jumping off of what ryan reilly said and what we know about the target letter so far. what is your reaction to this? >> well, donald trump has a very full advance car, doesn't he. obstruction of justice, conspiracy to defraud, and civil rights violations.

we know and it is on tape that he called georgia state officials and said find me 11,780 votes. doing a free and fair election to millions of georgians. but also to the tens of millions of americans that didn't vote for him. and then when he lost he decided to try to incite a coup, you know? calling on his hodgepodge militia of qanon hours and dark web conspirators to attempt to overthrow a government. because he lost. and really now i think this is about finding ways to foment distrust, in so many of these agencies like the doj, the fbi, the cia, and the irs. who are doing their jobs. investigating him. he is trying to turn the american people against these institutions. >> typically what was really the law and order party, i want to ask, you congresswoman about this idea of expunging former president trump's prior engagements. i spoke with congresswoman zoe lofgren yesterday, the impeachment managers. and she said that there is nothing in the law of allows for that.

basically kind of brushed it off as it is not a serious idea. i mean are you confident that something like that won't go anywhere in the house? >> absolutely not. people are of their minds. kevin mccarthy is the hostage and she. if you, no i don't know that he is in control of anything that is happening. they can call about a, i do hope they call about, because there are two dozen republicans that are in very vulnerable seats. so it's 40 to force the vote on that. and they can have a reckoning in 2024. but once again, this potential vote, if it does come up, and also the crazy hearings that we are having, you, know against all of these institutions, is another way to try and discredit the government. and might i remind you that jeff sessions was a united states senator, you know? a senior senator. venerable. and evoked opposition to be come a.g.. he wasn't selling time shares. he was taking over an institution that was credible and had authority and that was trustworthy. and then all of a sudden, all these things are called into question. i think. not >> the former president was

asked about the prospect of any potential jail time. his response was a bit ominous, let's go ahead and play that. >> that, for example, they do say jack smith says, okay, i am going to put them in jail. >> i think he's a very dangerous thing to even talk about. >> okay. >> because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters, i think it would be very dangerous. >> what do you take that to mean? >> i think he is threatening folks, again, this is a vein adventureland. so he either kisses his butt, or you stand up for democracy and find ways to come after you. it's interesting that the civil rights language used in what jack smith wrote is the same language that was used to go after the kkk and white supremacy. what an irony. >> you are in new york for a meeting for the congressional black caucus, and we have what is going on in florida where they are essentially changing the curriculum to teach school kids about, in their words,

potential benefits to slavery. ron desantis was asked about that and he doubled down on. well -- he said that wasn't, me but maybe there could be skills like a blacksmith being learned. what is your reaction to that? and your concern that a generation of school kids will be top that. >> so many turns on a punchbowl to talk about today. we were here in new york, we ended our trip at the brooklyn library, looking at an exhibition, a repository of history, of fiction, of literature, so that people can return share and learn. and here you have a man who went to elite institutions, got a well rounded comprehensive education that allows him to run and become the governor of florida, and now run to become president. his education included black history. the same things that he has benefited, from he is trying to deny others. of course, what he's that is racist. of, course what he said is wrong. but we have to continue to push back on these the tactics to scare young people and weaponized them in their ability to go by trying to deny folks, you know, history that

we all should be learning. >> what did you think of the vice president's comments? >> she was right on. and might i remind you, i sit on natural resources, and in my committee last week i had republicans tell me that i should be grateful to republicans because lincoln freed the slaves. >> still going on. >> yes. >> congresswoman sydney kamlager-dove, just incredible -- thank you for your time today. all right, everybody, coming, up also an issue -- happy birthday for you before we let you. go coming up in 60 seconds, we are live in israel where we are just hours away from a vote on a law that has ripped the country apart. feeling two weeks of protests in the streets. including demonstrations right now. (mom) the moment i loved our subaru outback most... was the moment they walked away from it. (daughter) mom! (mom) oh, thank goodness. and that's why our family will only drive a subaru.

few days and weeks, in protest of a plan brought forward by french president benjamin not to. you look at to nbc's raf sanchez on the ground in jerusalem. looks like the protests, raf, of come down quite a bit. a lot of people went home? >> yeah, lindsey, the crowds have thinned out here in jerusalem now. but the protesters say that this fight is not over. and that they will be back here in front of israel's supreme court tomorrow. they will continue protesting in front of the israeli parliament tomorrow where we are expecting a final vote on this legislation. excuse me, sometime potentially as early as tomorrow afternoon. now, lindsey, even as the tensions rise, even as we inch closer and closer to a final vote in parliament, there are still last-minute attempts to try to broker some sort of compromise. the israeli president who was with president biden in the oval office earlier in the week is back in israel. he has a largely ceremonial -- but he has been trying to act as a mediator between netanyahu

and the israeli political offices. trying to see if there is some kind of deal that can be reached, it will avoid this very very divisive parliamentary vote that is planned for tomorrow. right now it is 10:15 here in israel. the vote is scheduled in a few. hours and there is no firm sign of that compromise appearing. and instead, lindsey, you have hundreds of israeli reservist air force pilots saying that if this move legislation goes through, they will stop showing up for military duty. some squadrons in the israeli force, half of the pilots are reservists as opposed to active duty. the chief of the israeli military is warning that this is already having an effect on israel's military cohesion. -- there are real questions of all of these resurfaced pilots walked off the, trump impact is going to have on israelis overall national security. the israeli air force carrying out sometimes nightly rates on

syria, often called upon formations in gaza. recently in the occupied west bank. lindsey, if you said, -- netanyahu is planning on pushing ahead, despite the fact that he was rushed to hospital in the early hours this morning. and he was fitted with a pacemaker after suffering from an irregular heart rhythm. he says he is feeling better and he says he will be back in parliament tomorrow to see this final vote go through. lindsey? >>, okay, rafsanjani voice after all of that reporting. over the roar of the crowd. thank you so much. >> well, polls in a crucial election in spain closed in the last hour. and it is an election that could see the far right party return to power for the first time since the 70s. prime minister pedro sanchez with the socialist workers party has been in office since 2018. he is facing right-wing people's party leader alberto nunez video. and for who was leading in the polls. although not by enough to form a government without the help of votes from the far-right fox

party. if fox enters the, government it would solidify a rightward trend that is also being seen in sweden, finland, and italy. which could increase some friction within the eu. and we continue to watch for those results. still ahead, a warning from a former trump official on the alleged plans of what he calls the next trump, to weaponize the federal government for revenge. plus, why critics of a new rule are pushing for a third party ticket, they say their ultimate goal is just to get trump back in the white house. and weekend box office numbers are out for barbenheimer, how barbie broke records, and oppenheimer destroyed the global industry expectations. ♪ ♪ ♪ are we saying that there is a chance that when we push that button, we destroy the world? >> chances are near zero. >> near zero? >> what do you want from theory alone. >> zero would be nice. ♪ ♪ ♪ but the same ai-powered security that protects all of google

has promoted the idea of a potential third option in the 2024 presidential race. a unity ticket made up of a moderate republican and democrat. and while the group advertises itself as a voice for moderation, a new ad is warning about the potential consequences we. >> no labels claims they just want to give you options in the upcoming presidential election. but for no labels, there is only one option, donald trump. they are so intent on destroying president biden,

that they are willing to send trump back to the white house. even after everything he did. >> no labels, that's right. i am a believer. >> supported by right-wing megadonor's like harlan crow, a man whose priorities include funding clarence thomas's lavish lifestyle. what >> i want to bring in rick wilson, cofounder of the lincoln project, which put together that had. so, rick, wipe it out that had? >> well, we are making sure that people in washington d.c. and beyond don't fall into the sort of clever rhetorical trap that no labels has played four years. they claim to be centrist moderates, but they either on admission understand that if they do this, they will throw the vote to donald trump and reelect donald trump, they have no path to victory. they also admit that, they cannot get 270 electoral college votes. but they can spoil the race for joe biden. they're only putting themselves on the ballot in states where they can hurt, biden's not heard trump. >> they are a pro trump super pac in the name and action, if

not self-identified, then i wonder why all their money is coming out of republicans. why their staff is now comprised of people who used to work for mitch mcconnell in the rnc. this is a group that is actively trying to distort what their real mission is to the american people. and frankly we have had enough of it. and many groups across the political spectrum, from never trumper full comes to moderate democrats, to independent groups, we are all calling them out, the lincoln project is taking as usual tip of the spear on this thing. this is the first of a series of ads, and we are calling on no levels to immediately stop this dangerous action. which will reelect donald trump. >> so, talk to me a little bit about the ad buy here. what states is gonna run? and how much money are you guys throwing at this? but also, you mention that, go ahead. >> we are initially starting this in washington, d.c.. frankly the main audience of no labels right now is the national press corp the main audience of no labels are people who are advising megadonor's. you want to make sure that they

understand that they are not buying into the problem solvers caucus. or some of the centrist fantasy. they are buying into the reelection donald trump. >> they are making a very clear to folks, particularly in the beginning of this campaign. in the press, and the second wave of this is gonna be even more direct about the ties between the republican party and the intentions of mark penn and nancy jacobsen will run no labels. >> one international poll from monmouth found that 30% of americans say they would consider voting for a unity ticket made of a republican and a democrat. but when given a specific option, i would take it with senator joe manchin, and former republican governor john huntsman, just 2% said they would vote for that option. is it name recognition, is it the people agreeing with the concept but not when it gets too close for comfort with the specifics? >> i think you just hit on the head. it is, the nominal or notional idea of a third party centrist candidate or a ticket, it sounds lovely. but american political behavior doesn't work that way. and when they begin to consider what actually happens in the

electoral college, where this ticket could cut a point, or two points or three points or five points off biden, it will throw the election to, trump so when the reality of this thing goes forward, i think people are going to have a very clear sense that this is an enormous fraud being perpetrated on america by no labels. they cannot win this election, they cannot continue to do something, the polling you just showed there how it drops off when reality collides with fantasy. and we believe that it is important to keep reminding people that they are only a spoiler, ticket there is nothing else there, and the only person that it benefits in this race is donald trump. >> rick, one quick question before we let you go, and i am out of time but i want to ask. what do you tell the people that feel like they have no party? those moderates who do want somebody who represents them, who are sick of political divisiveness, i mean you mentioned that no labels, a lot of republican money,. that's because a lot of republicans feel disenfranchised by their current party. >> look, i am one of them, i

really hope that someday we can have a variety of political outlets in this country where people can have these ideological homes that they can find somewhere where. you know, if you are a republican who doesn't want to be in this authoritarian turn trump movement, that would be great, that is not, that is not this, and that is certainly not no labels at this point in our political history. >> okay, rick wilson, thanks. >> thanks so much. >> coming up, former vice president mike pence trying to keep in the good graces of far-right republican voters, claiming that he is not sure of donald trump's january 6th intentions. and my next guest says that come to allen and 20, for the former president may be president once again, regardless of whether he actually wins. former trump administration official miles taylor joins me next to talk about that. and his new book, and more. >> hey there, i am ayman -- tonight at nine eastern on ayman it is the summer of accountability for donald trump. i will be joined by lisa reuben, christine greer, and tymofii to discuss the ex presidents half

talk to calendar of civil and criminal trials, going all the way up to the presidential election. and that is tonight, nine eastern, right here on msnbc. >> --

former vice president mike pence made a distinction today between former president donald trump's actions on january 6th, and his possible intent. listen. >> criminal charges have everything to do with intent of what the president's state of

mind was. >> sure. >> and i don't honestly know what his intention was that they. whether, as he spoke to that crowd, as he tweeted during the riots themselves. but for my part, from what i saw, as i have said, his actions were reckless, i believe that history will hold him accountable. >> joining me now is former federal prosecutor ankush khoury. so, what do you make of what pence said? and when it comes to the idea of intent? >> there is no question that intent is a very important element of any criminal case, particularly the sort of charges that seem to be contemplated by prosecutors and appear to have inside in the dark letter that he sent to trump. so that's, you know, he's right as a legal matter. and you have to say that i find it a little bit curious that pence could be sort of, like so in the dark on this subject. i don't entirely by it. i do recall that pence was in discussions with donald trump in the days leading up to the

january 6th, about whether pence could basically set aside the electoral votes that have been certified. and he spoke to trump the afternoon of january 6th. so he seems to have adopted sort of a very forgiving line here. but i am not sure how well it is going to hold up if and it seems when charges are ultimately filed. >> as a former federal prosecutor, what are some of the challenges for jack smith and bringing another criminal indictment against the president? former president. >> well, look, one major challenge here is that this is unprecedented, right? so there is not a sort of legal framework or illegal charge that prosecutors can look to and say, okay, this is how we have always done this before, right? this is a unique individual, it's a unique set of circumstances. so you are in unusual, or arguably novel terrain, the second thing is the thing that pence did, you know, focus on, which is, you know, that the charges that prosecutors appeared to be contemplating will depend on ascertaining or taking the position on trump's attempt one way or another, and

that may be, you know, a theory that suggests that trump knew that he had actually lost. and that is claims of widespread voter fraud were false. he knew that. what trump knew that he had no ability and no legal recourse to prevent trump from certifying himself that day. those are independent theories. but they do both rely on having a very clear position as to what trump's intent actually was that day. >> i want to play some -- from my interview with sarah matthews, former trump white house -- who spoke with the special counsel, and told me earlier that she did not testify to the grand jury. >> given what we know from the select committee, do you think that the special counsel eventually will be able to have enough evidence to charge the former president. i think, so i don't want to get into specifics of what i think those charges will look like i will leave that to the legal experts and obviously we need to see what a potential indictment, does what it even looks like, and what additional evidence that the special

counsel uncovered that may be the house committee did not uncover. and so obviously i think of the house committee laid out a lot of evidence. making the case for some charges. >> what do you make of what she said? and what's missing -- smith seems to be focusing on with witnesses like matthews in the investigation. >> well i think smith and his team are doing the exact right, thing they are focusing on what people saw and heard her. in trump's immediate vicinity and the days leading up to january 6th. and on that day. including miss matthews who, of, course as you are saying at, home testified before the january 6th hearings. so it makes complete sense that smith would be trying to speak to as many people that day as possible in order to gather those comprehensive evidence is available as to what trump was actually doing, saying, and believing that day. >> i'm khachapuri, thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. >> joining me right now is mild taylor, the author of the

thousand and 18 anonymous op-ed, on trump, and the new york times. he is also the author of two books, including his latest titled blowback. a warning to save democracy from the next trump. so miles, first, what is your reaction to the targets letter that trump received on the potential charges includes? >> well i think really soon we are gonna go from a twice impeached twice indicted ex president to a thrice indicted ex president. i think a lot of us have been seeing this as a near inevitability. i was very compounded by mike pence's comments this morning. because in almost the same answer, he said that he was very clear with donald trump that it was wrong to try to overturn the election. that pence didn't have the power. and then shortly after, he said he is not sure what donald trump's intent was. literally, i am confounded by that. he just said it was clear that donald trump's intent was to try to obstruct the transfer of

power. but he is naked the lying. i think what is really scary here, you're seeing these candidates who should be opponents of trump and try to take him down in the primaries. they're trying to give him. slackwood i do think we are gonna see him indicted on this by the special counsel. what i hope the special counsel does though is to paint a longer picture back in time about how obsessed donald trump was with the insurrection act earlier in his presidency. i think that that will give us a sense of his mindset. >> feel free to elaborate on that for a second if you want. but, also i want to ask you, has jackson its officers reach out to you? and have you testified to the grand jury? >> no, i have not. and, look, lindsay, no one wants to spend more time with lawyers. but my doors always open. and one of the things that i hope the special counsel is doing. is going to ex officials who maybe have information that they can provide to tell. that story about how donald trump and this really keen and

unusually keen interest in the extraordinary powers of the presidency early on. namely pointed to the insurrection act. in the book, i recount this episode in february of 2019 where we had to rush to the white house because we got tipped off that the president was going to try to invoke the insurrection act in his state of the union address. that he wanted to deploy u.s. troops on u.s. soil. to deal with border security issues. and illegal migrants. and we didn't think that was going to be legal, and maybe borderline unconstitutional. so there is this pattern of interest in him deploying the military waste that were inappropriate, that i personally think has a great deal of relevance to what happened on january 6th. so like i said, my doors always open for that conversation, but i know that there are other officials who can speak to that too. >> in an excerpt of your book, you talked about presidential emergency action documents known as the doomsday book. these can allow the president to take extraordinary actions in the event of a crisis. such as unilaterally detaining

dangerous persons. censor the news media. flip in internet kill switch. take over social media, and suspend americans from traveling. what is this -- the significance of you mentioning this doomsday booking contacts with the trump administration? >> well, you know, trump's own appointed officials on the national security council were really worried about him ever getting a hold of the doomsday book, so first and foremost that tells you that, you know, even his own people didn't trust in the president with knowing how extraordinary his powers actually could be. in moments of national crisis. because they were worried that he would misuse those powers. what was really alarming, and this wasn't public until the book, is that i found out that the person responsible for safeguarding that book was almost fired and replaced with a woman named christina bobb, who is a trump lawyer and loyalist and frequently appears on one american news network and these other maga networks. and if she had been aware of

that information, she was one of the people that was involved in the efforts to overturn the election, i worry that it could have gotten to donald trump. and he might've use those powers just to cement a coup. but the bigger concern, of course, is next time that they want to be people around to say no. those same officials who tried to keep the book from getting in donald trump's hands during the post election period won't be there. and it will be folks that say yes and we will put those things in front of him. so i worry about a second term involving any heavy abuse of extraordinary presidential powers. >> on that note, in your book you say that under republicans, trump will be president again whether or not he is on the ballot, what do you mean by that? >> what we have really seen the maga movement overtake the base of the republican party. so even if donald trump is not the nominee, whoever wins the nomination is going to have to heavily cater to that base in order to win. and that means embracing trump, trumpism, and his policies. and in fact, we have already seen that in the primary campaign. we have seen most of the

candidates highly reluctant to criticize trump. because they know that they are going to have to take up his mantle if they win the nomination. of course, there is a few exceptions like chris christie who still is pretty low in the polls. but the worry there is that it is not just the voting base, but also the structures in washington d.c., the conservative think tank that usually helps staff up another administration. they are already drowned in their list of officials who would go in. and they are mcilroy lists. and they told me that there will be a loyalty test to go into the next administration to make sure. but you embrace trumpism. the last thing that i would add is that we have seen a number of trump's acolytes actually take policies further than even donald trump did in his first term with conversations about deafening dominating the fbi in a number of far-right policies. so i do think the movement has grown beyond his control. and we can see a savvier successor to trumpism in the not too distant future. >> but miles, sort of what you have laid out for, us i mean,

is this why you hoped that special counsel jack smith will go back further than just the 2020 election and january 6th? go back before than for example, the fascination with executive powers, the appointing of loyalists to keep key positions. i mean, do you hope that if we do ever get an indictment on election interference that doesn't just begin with the 2020 election? >> well it can't. because in, fact i think the story goes all the way back to 2015 and 2016. when donald trump was trying to see the narrative that the election was rigged. there is a very long history of him -- also trying to overturn them. i do hope he goes back in time, i am not a lawyer but -- -- this is the mindset that the individual had before they committed their crime. and sometimes you need to go back in time and make a picture of what that person was talking about. in the weeks, months, and years
