j jenny thomas on november 10th send this text to mark meadows. helpless great president stand firm, mark, exclamation points. the majority knows biden and the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history. she was a witness on january 6th. how can her husband not have recused himself from all matters about january 6th? or the election, basically? >> it's shameful and another example of a supreme court that is out of control. that is literally not operating in the best interest of this country. i will never forget when judge thomas said, after the dobbs decision, remember he touched on privacy, but then he did not say anything about interracial marriage, which, as a biracial person, i was looking for that one, but as a man who, himself, is married to a white woman, right? that touches too close to home. we are just going to weave in and out of the law to suit us. >> to be fair, one point about justice thomas, he did -- he is likely to refer it to the entire supreme court to decide the issues on administrator stay but the point is not lost t

. >> let's take jenny thomas on her word, that justice thomas does not discuss pending cases with herthe other part of that statement, alex, the troubles me. she says she trump guarantees that -- the part that you didn't quote is where she said she generally doesn't discuss political activities with him. the lawyer and me says, of, that we're generally is doing a lot of work as andrew rison said on twitter, what does that mean, generally? she occasionally talk to him about political activities? which specific political activities? one might have danny thompson discussed with justice in a way that might have affected his views even if she insists that he stubborn as knocks and impenetrable in terms of jurisprudence. >> isa reuben, ryan riley, many thanks to both of you. as the death toll climbs, we are inside the strike zone of hurricane ian. how the search for survivors is going and who needs the most help and who is making sure that they actually got it.

jennie thomas, conservative activism, white for, supreme court justice, clarence thomas. voluntarily spoke with the panel earlier this week and in an opening statement obtained by nbc news, thomas told the panel, she still believes the 2020 election was stolen. though she denies discussing any evidence she made to challenge the result with either white house chief of staff, mark meadows, or her own husband. now, do you think these ongoing revelations about what happened on january 6th are going to resonate with voters as they head to the polls in the midterms? you were great dnc chair, you had your hand all the pulse in florida better than most. >> well, i think it's a stark reminder that our democracy still hangs in the balance. i mean, her statements are remarkable, but they are not remarkable, in the sense that so many people have said this, rev. we have to understand that there are so many things on the ballot right now. health care, disaster relief, and, frankly, democracy as we know it. these races, you and i spent a lot of time together when i was dnc chair, and wh

reporter: expect some discussion about a deposition from jenny thomas. wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. the committee did not videotape her deposition. this may be the last big appearance by liz cheney as a sitting lawmaker a final report is due come december. neil? neil: if republicans take over the house, chad, what happens to all of this stuff? >> this committee is valid through the end of this congress 11:59:59 a.m., january third, pubs will get rid of that committee next year. they may conduct into her own investigation into house speaker nancy pelosi may have known and security failures here at the capitol. neil: that should go well. chad, thank you very much. we have lee carter here with us to make sense of this. lee, you and i were saying during the break i don't know if this moves the political needle but i know real issues like inflation not going away, in fact getting worse are probably more paramount for the time-being for average folks? >> i think the democrats are spending too much time focused on this frankly. the american pe

they interviewed jenny thomas, wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. >> we still have significant information that we've not shown to the public that's available to us. >> reporter: members hinting the hearing could also highlight the role of long time trump ally roger stone. >> what they're assuming is the election will be normal. the election will not be normal. >> reporter: and ties between trump's circle and violent extremist groups. >> the mob was led by some extremist groups. they plotted in advance what they were going to do. and those individuals were known to people in the trump orbit. >> reporter: the committee reconvening in public for the first time since the fbi searched trump's mar-a-lago estate and since a doj probe into efforts to subvert the 2020 election has intensified. with midterms less than a month away, a key focus is trump's continued efforts -- >> i ran twice, i won tries -- >> reporter: to spread the falsehood the 2020 election was stolen and ensure election deniers took office. >> we've got a handle on the clear and present danger that confronts the peop

even now, in the fall of 2022, jenny thomas, the wife of a justice who sits on that very supreme court of the 16 committee. she said that she still believes the election was stolen. that is according to the committee chair, benny thompson. i want you to let that sink in for a second. take a listen to committee member jamie raskin's we action. >> it is amazing that you have somebody who is married to a supreme court justice. they continue to promote the big lie. that is her absolute first amendment right to do so. anybody can go out and make an idiot out of themselves by claiming that the easter bunny israel, that santa claus is real, and donald trump is the real president. >> i hope my seven year old was not listening to jamie. he just said that. this interview comes after months of headlines. detailing her multiple efforts to overturn the results of that election. including text messages to trump's chief of staff mark meadows. there was a scheme to put up fake electors in the states of arizona and wisconsin. ginni thomas also said that she did not speak to her husband of more than 30

relentless radicalization and a letter which could have been written by rudy giuliani, sydney powell, jenny thomasldron, qanon adherence themselves -- he's really trying to get oxygen back into where he is back in the media. i think that is with us subpoena might have done. >> peter, is there reason to believe that the subpoena is going to rile up trump's face? >> he's going to be riled up no matter what. the committee isn't too worried about that. i think they are trying to make a point to the people who are listening to their results and their investigation. the point about mike pence, by the way -- he will have his sign out there soon. it will be in the form of a book. his book is coming out on november 15th. it's very different than to have him sitting down answering questions. it will be interesting to see how he frames it, what he says about that day, what he says about how he felt about donald trump, the way trump treated him that day. i think there's a lot of anticipation to see how he tried to straddle it. in the last year and a half, he is trying not to break with trump to the recklessly

and then at the same, he was texting with jenny thomas and. these congressmen, these freedom caucus congressmen, and saying, yes, this is a battle for good and evil and the lord is on our side and and we have to, you know, have fake electors. and we have to do all these things. so know, to the extent that we thought for a while that he might be, you know, we clearly tried to say what everybody wanted him to say whoever he was talking. he tried to say what he thought they to say. but in the end if it was a question of was he really wanted to land the plane, guys trying to keep things calm, or was he somebody who was as a republican called him the matador, was waving the flag saying, come on in. it turns out he was the matador. you know, the guys like who who were saying, let's the voting machines and let's declare martial law and let's have fake electors pressure the justice department into saying the things that they don't believe in order to overturn the free, fair election were given the ability to that by the white house chief of mark meado

thomas in his life? well we interviewed jenny, you know she much for a less time than justice thomas and she really helps tell his story. but he talks about what he met her and marrying her and what she means to him and she calls her a gift from god and i think they are very close. and i i think that the confirmation battle the very kind of contentious confirmation battle. they were not married that long pulled them together to have to go through something like that together and i think that that them one as she does he in the book address his first marriage to kathy ambush and his son jamal and your chest is in a little bit. i think you can see in the film. we didn't put this so much in the buck that i pressed him, and he did not want to speak much about it. so he's a little about it. we tell about it, but he doesn't speak much. i think it's interesting that as a result of that marriage. they had a child a son and she wanted him to raise the child and he raised his son as a single person with not a huge salary in washington in the 80s a very tough thing to do. is this your first book? it's my first buck

thomas and his wife. that they have nothing to do with each other on this story. as jennyclaimed in her opening statement to the 16 committee. they refer to each other at each other's best friends. so how exactly was she returning to when she texted mark meadows this reply, saying thank you, needed that. this plus a conversation with my best friend just now. i will try to keep holding on. america is worth it. perhaps the committee members asked her about that. although, i remind you, she was not under oath. so, can we expect her much awaited testimony on her alleged role in the to? to make an appearance on the next and final -- despite confirming that the wife of a supreme court justice confirmed -- was stolen, the chairman, benny thompson, said that some of thomas's testimony could be incorporated into the race scheduled hearing if there is something of merit. if there is something of merit? if? another january the six committee members reveal they're not sure of ginni thomas played a major role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. one described her position as deran

>> far be it from me to question the household rules in the thomas family, but what was remarkable was the chair of our committee, jennyhompson, they've confirmed she is saying she still believes donald trump won the election, and joe biden's victory is based on fraud. that's a remarkable thing for anybody to say, much less someone who's married to a supreme court justice, who, theoretically, bases their whole work on the rule of law. we have more than 60 federal and state courts that have rejected every single claim of electoral fraud in corruption, in the country. and these people have nothing to cite against it other than a feeling that they have from fox news or some other media outlet, that there was fraud. but the courts have looked at it. this is how we deal with claims of electoral fraud, corruption in the united states of america. all of the courts have rejected it, yet we still have people like ginni thomas and others who are out there, swallowing the big lie continuing to propound it. it's a dangerous thing for a democracy, one of the hallmarks of an authoritarian or fascist political party is a refusal to a

thomas joining the highest court in the land. i thought it was an important part of that to prompt people working from two problematic when wednesday. and while jenny the rhythm or the range to be a supreme, her she and her husband are still a threat to democracy. when it comes to any case apparent for the court they both need to get out. and wherever you also can you take her with you, because you seem to be cut to the same cloth. thanks. coming up next, we will break down last night's fiery debate in georgia and discuss just how much it moved the needle for voters with just 24 days to midterms. plus, the terrifying new report revealing that florida is not a safe haven for what's promises and extremists. you do not want to miss any of this because we have a lot more of the cross connection coming up right after this break, do not go anywhere. where.
