the slate podcast a word with jason johnson. thanks new york on. it was distressing to a lot of people, not least of which the people who work at twitter. >> right. >> works you know in, their internal slacks are wringing their hand, not all of them but a lot of them just worrying about what becomes that i have company. elon musk's companies have a history of open racism, you know. there's been a lawsuit against tes larks and he himself is a troll so his idea of freedom. >> yeah. >> means freedom to be a jerk and to be cruel and to have no one be able to stop you. what do you make of this takeover? >> it's a real concern. joy, i was actual think talking with my students at morgan state about this today and i said look, you know, imagine if the worst most obnoxious person you've ever met had access to all your dms. >> yeah. >> and had the right to put them out whenever they want. that's essentially what people are looking at, and i think, joy, the real concern here, we have the larger questions about multi-billionaires running co

jason johnson back with us, politics journalism professor at morgan state university. also an msnbc political contributor. and kyle cheney, senior legal affairs reporter for politico, whose reporting is focused specifically on january 6th. kyle, we've been waiting for details on potential january 6th hearings for weeks. so tell us more about what's gonna look like? >> sure, we've got our first real glimpse of that now. we've been wondering for a awhile, how are they gonna organize this? we have an enormous trove of evidence, 800 and counting interviews, tens of thousands of documents, how are they going to present this to the american people? we now know it's going to take place over several weeks in june, eight hearings were told, some in primetime, some during the day. and each will focus on a specific topic area there in the investigation. this is going to be what they want to be a very dramatic and intense presentation of what they found, they don't want this to be just anodyne on paper kind of material. they want people to feel the intensity of what happened in th

jason johnson. thank you so much for being here. spent $6 million on the creator's house, and of course the right has taken that and run with it. as we see black bodies continue to be harmed. they would rather talk about that. i know you're not part of the organization, but i'm curious your take on all of this, and your thoughts on what we're seeing happening right now? >> well, tiffany, thank you so much for having me. it's always great to be here with you. you know, i have a lot of thoughts about this, obviously. as somebody who, you know, helped initiate this organization, and certainly is a fellow traveler even though i'm no longer in the leadership or decision making of the organization, there's a bigger context here for a lot of us to understand in relationship to some of these stories and attacks that we see on the movement. while patrice as a leader in the black lives matter global network as an organization has certainly been at the center of some of these stories, this is actually intended to do two things as it relates to

joining us now, sam stein, white house editor for politico and jason johnson, journalist and politicsesterday with tim miller and i sort of -- we admonished ourselves to not cover these as politically successes or failures and to sort of, just for a second, at least, include a conversation about the substance of these bills. so i want to try to at least go one day with doing that. what disney did was voiced opposition to legislation that passed anyway. i mean, disney didn't impede desantis's ability to pass the "don't say gay" law that he wanted to pass. the idea that now the state, the state of florida, is eking out revenge against one of the largest employers in the state is unbelievable and shouldn't be glossed over. what is your sense of this as sort of a devolution, another running down the ladder the republicans are descending. >> nicole, i ran through so many disney songs i wanted to sing in preparation for this. >> don't let me slow you down. >> let's not talk about desantis. i thought of many of them. >> i want to hear it. >> but the core conclusion is this. this is what you

and legal analyst neal katyal is back and jason johnson is here journalism and professor at morgan state university and msnbc contributor. luke, take me through what your reporting today with your colleagues. >> sure. so we've been able to obtain a subpoena issued by the grand jury in d.c. and it does reveal some important avenues that they're looking into. one is so-called vips at the january 6 rally. they're requesting information from witnesses about these trump vips. the second is anyone in the executive or legislative branch who had anything to do with plans to disrupt or interfere with the january 6 vote of congress, the certification of joe biden's election before congress. and then the third is the scheme to use pro-trump electors or fake electors in states that were won by joe biden to actually vote for donald trump instead. and so those are huge topics. those are sprawling topics. so this investigation could potentially go anywhere. we don't know exactly where it is going or what the justice department will find. but we do know now from the subpoena exactly some very specific a
