donald trump and his children, i always wonder what mary trump's thinking. mary trump will tell us exactly what she was thinking last night, watching that hearing, when she joins us at the end of the hour tonight. and of course, i always wonder, with our law professor laurence tribe seized in these hearings, and we are lucky to have him, joining us tonight, share his reaction to what we all heard last night. and as we have done after each of these hearings, we will begin our discussion tonight with the legal team of neal katyal neal katyal and barry berke whose expertise will illuminate the most important components of the testimony tonight. the committee announced last night that they will resume public hearings in september because evidence continues to develop and emerge in their investigation. >> in the course of these hearings, we have received new evidence, and new witnesses have bravely stepped forward. efforts to litigate and

>> always say, now congress is certifying -- >> joining us now is mary trump, niece of donald trump.ow, and author of the reckoning: our nation's trauma and finding a way to heal. thank you very much for joining us tonight. what was going through your mind, as they were watching that final hearing of this initial series of it last night? >> lawrence, it's interesting, because of the outtakes or much -- i don't know if they were hyped, but they created a lot of expectation among viewers. the hearings last night. and i remember feeling underwhelmed because it wasn't anything beyond what i experienced from donald before. and it wasn't until afterwards that i realized that there actually was a lot going on in that video. the only thing that surprised me was that he was actually holding it together as well as he did. but because he is sort of a master of self deception, and as we know from his saying, he won't say that the election was over, he was putting everything in his power to convince himself as well as everybody else that there was still room to doubt. and he needed to keep that d

mary trump, it's always good to see you. e get to the meat of this segment, i want to ask you about this bombshell "new york times" report that two people that donald trump had severely targeted, james comey and andrew mccabe were targeted for irs audits. this is what michael schmidt summarized it. the min kuhl chances of the two highest ranking fbi officials who made the most politically consequential law enforcement decisions being randomly selective a few years after leaving their posts. what do you make of that? it seems surprising given who donald trump is. >> of course. but it is important to emphasize just how vanishingly small the chances are that this was indeed random. we're talking about tens and tens of millions of people and 8,000 pulled randomly that two of donald's so-called enemies would end up being audited in this way is almost impossible. it just shows you that we're only looking at the tip of the iceberg here. we have no idea who else has been in the crosshairs, and as things ramp up in both the january 6t

he's the host of the remarkable podcast, the mary trump show. she's the author of the book too much and never enough and the reckoning. mary, thanks for being with us this morning. we appreciate you talking with us. i don't know if you've had a chance, because it just came out this morning, to have a look at the stalking monterrey in which they interview donald trump, donald trump jr., eric trump, ivanka trump. donald trump, in typical fashion, did not declined to talk to the documentarian about january 6th. it does seem that he truly believes that this was a vehicle for the anger, justified anger americans face seen at the stolen election. >> well, whether he believes that it was justified or not, it certainly is the story that serves him best. it helped him of a direct responsibility for the insurrection which we all know he was directly responsible for. once again, he's deflecting and blaming other people in his usual fashion and the hopes that will be enough to once again, and his life, of eight accountability. >> interestingly enough, one of

she is the host of the mary trump show, and founder of the democracy defense fund, which would work to pro democracy candidates. mary, thanks so much for coming back on this show. i want to start with that viral tweet, which i'm sure you've seen, about your uncle, former president trump, that says, quote, well i'd like to see old dharmi trump wriggle his way out of this jam! trump wriggles his way out of the jam easily. a, well, nevertheless. and we kind of laughed at how teflon he is. but it's dangerous, is it not, to have a former president who sees himself as about the law, and then, isn't actually prosecuted for the crimes that he seems to committed, the federal judges suggest he is committed, and we are no closer to the prosecution of donald trump, as far as i can see? >> mehdi, it's incredibly of interest, but this is not an isolated incident. not only has donald gotten away with doing all sorts of nefarious things his entire life, america has never held powerful white men accountable for anything, going back to robert e. lee. so, it is extremely important that he be held account

mary trump, thank you for being here.eciate your time. >> coming up -- >> we cannot allow an out-of-control supreme court working in conjunction with a party to take away our freedoms and autonomy. >> president biden is calling out the supreme court as he signed an executive order to protect abortion rights. what it does and whether it goes far enough, that is coming up next. goes far enough, that is comin up next. so now... i want to thank you. i started investing with vanguard to help take care of you, than just an investor you're an owner. helping you take care of the ones you love. that's the value of ownership.

trump. so we know that james marie is a trump guy in every sense important to donald trump or donald trump would not have promoted him. to director of the secret service. in april of 2019, all of the democratic candidate for president had announced their candidacies and pullen show donald trump running far behind joe biden with joe biden at 51, and donald trump at 42. donald trump knew just like 2016, there was absolutely no way he was going to win more votes than the democrats. donald trump knew he was going to come in second with the voters, and his only hope was the electoral college, and this time, donald trump didn't want to take his chances with the electoral college. if it came to it, donald trump was obviously willing to try to change the outcome of the election electoral college, and it is exactly what he did, and that is what he was still trying to do on january six. cassidy hutchinson testified that tony ornato told her, in the white house, that donald trump tried to go to the capitol, on january six, to join the attackers of the capitol. cassidy hutchinson testified under oath, that

mary trump suing him for basically stealing her inheritance. e. roll and unlike the tory party in brittain, trump's party refuses to ditch him. there is no embarrassment. why do you suppose that? >> yeah. i think that's what keir just really excellently pointed out some of the stark differences between the approach even though near the end there there was some evidence that boris was probably looking for a way to sort of, as keir put it, stretch the british constitution. you're right. the queen still sits atop of all of that. that's not our system. what you see with the british system, that even with the most revered and popular of prime ministers, winston churchill, for example, at some point folks get tired of him. >> winston churchill got tossed. >> yeah, exactly. churchill won the war, the greatest war ever, five, six years later, people like, okay, thank you very much. that's not our political culture anymore, but what it does say in stark relief because of the similarities between our two nations, we have fallen very much more on the cultish

earlier today, on msnbc, mary trump discuss just how damaging this could be for the former president.> to say that donald is terrified is accurate, and also an understatement. i think that this might be the first time in his entire life that, even he can't deny the walls may indeed be closing. and the witness is not coming forward, are increasingly important in terms of access, and in terms of their positions and his administration. and they are an impeachable. >> and while major boston a shuns now top multiple fronts, dollars of his back on the campaign trail. today the former president heads to alaska to serve for 11 republicans including former governor sarah palin. it becomes a day that trump lashed out a democratic candidate for supporting the republican candidates in. >> biden has to republicans ant seems as though the justice department, and even local and state prosecutors, have become weaponized. they are after politicians, not the people that are murdering people on the streets. >> now let's check in with nbc 's mauro baron who is with the -- impeach delaware and also gary g

i have been reading the mary trump books. i would never vote for him.n the january 6 committee, it's not a joke. if any other company had something like this done, he would have investigated as well. that's all i have to say. host: talking to republicans only this morning. republicans saying that they would support donald trump being the nominee in 2024. if you say yes, (202) 748-8000. no, (202) 748-8001. if you are unsure, (202) 748-8002. howard? caller: yes. i will vote for donald trump. we've got a whole lot of wishful thinkers in this nation. what we need are the wishbone. somebody with a backbone. donald trump's got a backbone. final words. seems to me that judgment is turned away backward. justice ann's far off. -- justice and this far off -- justice and -- and -- ends far off and a lot washington, d.c. stinks. trump is the one man with enough backbone to stand up to it. it seems to me that they persecuted him. he must have a shield of faith, he's still standing strong. i admire that if we don't have someone up with a wishbone, it moaned last -- i

would like to say, all of these people who are crazy about donald trump should take a look at mary trump's- her niece she is a trained psychologist, what she says about her uncle and how he was raised. one more item i would like to say, to all of the republicans out there, please take a look at the documentary the rise and fall of the third right. if you do not see similarities, something is wrong. thank you. host: let's hear from greg in alabama. republican line. caller: i love the open forum line, i get to hear what everybody is thinking about. i left to see you guys bring on some -- love to see you guys bring on folks and talk about it. as we moved to energy sources and electric vehicles, start resourcing that's researching investments for the future what we might can make some money off of. i started researching batteries and cobalt. none of the batteries could be built without electro vault. 19 out of the top 20 minds are owned by china. our energy and independence is only going to go north if we continue to move that way. the u.s. now has zero cobalt minds, we have no ability to buil

gas prices, they're going to be playing in the primaries hoping they can kick off the trump-endorsed folks. >> marynds, i want to go back to uvalde, what is president biden doing about that? those families want answer, we had the resignation of pete arredondo who was in charge that day from the city council. >> he did resign, we saw that yesterday, and he faced so much criticism and so much heat for the response to that. he said he wasn't the commander on that day, wasn't in charge of that response. over an hour for them to get in there. the big picture is these families are being failed at every level over and other again. the lack of response only makes that pain even more painful. how much can the federal government do to step in and get them some answers? it's prettien clear. this white house continues to put that gun legislation they're passing, would that have solved that? we just don't know. >> thanks very much to all of you. happy fourth. we'll be right back. >>> and that's all for us today. but before we go, a big welcome to the newest member of our "this week" family. ella rose tejera, da

are whether we are in a recession to collect money and democratic strategist mary maxwell and former assistant president trumpefends economy amid recessions four years. i want to start with this gas prices defense that we have seen from the white house. this is that with the president put out recently basically saying that americans are paying 35 bucks less per car per month given where prices have been and where they are, as a strategist, would you recommend that the white house even talk about gas prices right now? >> absolutely, because gas prices are going down, so now, americans are feeling a little relief on the pocket books right now and they are able to drive around the country, around wherever they live now with cheaper gas prices. yes, gas prices are still high in a few places, but the good news is in places like south carolina, the gas is going down. i no longer pay $5 for gas like i was doing before. so yes, this is something that the administration and other democrats on the campaign should talk about. >> rich: we head into this week and there is a question of whether or not there's going to offi

marie green. we begin with the latest january 6th hearing which accused former president trump of doing nothing as rioters stormed the u.s. capitol. members of the select committee said trump watched the violence unfold on tv and refused to call off the attack. they played new radio traffic which depicted just how close protesters got to former vice president mike pence. >> [ bleep ] -- they're in the building. >> hold. >> harden that door up. >> if we're moving, we need to move now. if we lose any more time we may lose the ability to leave. so if we're going to leave, we need to do it now. >> one security official said the agents who helped pence escaped started to fear for their own lives, as well. serena marshall is in washington with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: anne-marie, good morning to you. from that video you just shared to outtakes of the former president practicing a speech the day after the attack the committee members argued during last night's hearing that president trump made a willful decision to ignore his oath of office. a congressional committee investigating the jan

. >> it is interesting to see the impact of the hearings on trump's standing. from the npr/maris poll. 53% said he deserves great deal or good amount of blame for january 6. shouldn't run for president in 2024. now 32%. what's this tell us about where the republican base is? primary electorate is in viewing donald trump standing? >> when you ask the committee is this changing hearts and minds and having an impact? we are seeing that through the polling. will it actually? that's still the question that will be determined in this midterms. trump is successful with some endorsements in some places and also been rejected and the democrats hope to run against a trump akikoccolite. will they see how much influence he still has? >> i think some reality here, too, that manu, but in a general election moving past the primary donald trump is a capital "l" loser. they want to move beyond him. they did better in 2020 than he did. likely to do better in 2022. i think the same in 2024. if they can pick somebody else they have a better chance of beating the democratic nominee. >> thune doesn't

even a trump would go on to mary two more times.also wrote self-help books and created jewelry, beauty and clothing lines sold on shopping networks. she made a famous cameo in the 1996 film, the first wives club. playing herself and uttering the famous line -- >> will get everything! >> trump posting on thursday afternoon about ivana, our mother was an incredible woman, a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and carrying mother and friend. ivanka trump was a survivor. >> later this, evening ivanka trump also posted on her social media about the loss of her mother who she called wickedly funny and brilliant. she said she will always hold her memory in her heart. don, back to you. >> kate bennett, thank you very much. well it may come as a surprise to some of, you but i knew ivanka trump, i did know her very well i could see her twice a year at clive davis would have events an invite a bunch of people over. and even it was there. and guess what i know that members of the trump family don't often have very nice t

marie, who might that be? >> well, first joe biden beat donald trump once and do it again if he runs in the next presidential electionsee no indication he isn't going to. the idea that joe biden is a far left president is just not accurate. he has advocated for more money for police and given ukraine weapons and support. >> harris: that's not as popular as you think it is because of what's happening in the country right now. >> the idea is a far left president that doesn't appeal to independence is false. the opposite was true in the last presidential election and i think if he runs again and i expect he will, he will continue to get the independent swing voters like someone like donald trump who is so extreme didn't get then and i don't think will get now. >> harris: as we heard one number that matters, at the end of the long receipt at the grocery store or anywhere you go right now. i know that a lot will change between now and 2024 but it will contain some pain. larry summer, you know, high profile economist among democrats has said soft landing is hopeful but not reality. and that's hard. it is hard to hear. bide

anne-marie, on fascinated by the work in the washington post this morning of pence and trump out in arizonaing to find the next republican party. phoenix is not the phoenix we grew up with. anne-marie: no, certainly not. arizona is purple, right? a ton of companies coming in bringing on the social economic level a lot of higher educated individuals and it is starting move left. we have seen that over the course of the last eight or 10 years or so and it is why the republican party is out there trying to make sure they can shore up the right wing base had of november and 2024, that is where trump and pence are looking. tom: the great unknown here, i know so many people upset by the eight flavors of latino, latina, this and that. how are the two parties going to deal with a critical part of the arizona public? annmarie: it's a great question. a lot of members of the community don't like this label. a recent episode from jill biden, talking to a group of latinos talking about how they are as diverse as a breakfast burrito, getting a ton of pushback. you can see each side trying to make sure th

allow in recent letters between bannon's lawyers, bennie thompson and that letter from trump about the sort of hail mary offer to testify. his lawyers are trying to make the case that, look, the subpoena was not a hard and fast deadline, we are still in negotiations and the house still wants information from bannon. the other thing that the defense tried to do on bannon's behalf was to argue that the prosecutors in this case, the witnesses in this case may have some kind of political bias. they pointed out one of the prosecutors in the case and the house staffer who was a witness yesterday were in the same book club. it turns out neither of the women have participated in that book club for over a year so we will see how the jury takes that. and of course this could go to the jury as soon as today. we don't have a sense of what kind of defense they will put on yet. >> this is moving very quickly. sara murray, thank you very much. >>> extreme heat side lining pearl jam front man eddie vedder. why the band was forced to cancel a concert. >>> also what cnn learned when we asked all 50 republican senators wh

trump and january 6. judy: an additional point that emerged today, mary, and this is something you follow, is the role thesemist groups play. the oath keepers, the proud boys. you are saying to us earlier that when you look at the bigger picture of what happened, the former president was using them to achieve in the end. mary: they were very willingly being used, the oath keepers. some of the people unaffiliated with extremist organizations really did get used and lied to and left hung out to dry. they are facing the consequences, criminal charges, loss of their jobs. groups like the oath keepers, this is the kind of thing that steward rhodeand other leaders of extremist organizations have wanted for years. antigovernment organizations, they are to use violence against the u.s. government. they have done it in the past. as was explained today by the former propagandist of the oath keepers, they faced off against federal agents back in bunker ville, nevada in 2014, and federal agents backed away because they have firearms. they were in the sites of snipers on overpasses. here was a chance to actually bring t

marie green. the january 6th committee will hold its seventh public hearing today. this time it will focus on possible connections between the trump white house and far right extremist groups. bradley blackburn is in the newsroom with details. bradley, good morning. >> good morning. we knew the committee is looking closely at a tweet from president trump ahead of the attacks on the capitol. committee members have described that tweet as a siren call that extremist groups answered when they went to washington on january 6th. cbs news has learned that two witnesses will testify at today's house select committee. former oath keeper spokesman jason van tatenhove will address the panel. stephen aayres will also testif. he pled guilty last month to disorderly and disruptive conduct. the prosecutors accused ayres. the panel is expected to explore whether extremist groups worked in coordination with white house allies. >> the attempt to overthrow the result of a presidential election through a political coup and the mobilization of an armed violent mob cannot really be compared to anything else a president has done. . makes the watergate

marie green. the house committee investigating the capitol riot returns to primetime tonight. the panel will lay out minute by minute president trump's actions. members of the select committee will show more evidence on trump's confrontation with secret service agents who allegedly refused to drive him to the capitol. the security officials dispute that account. serena marshall is in washington, d.c., with all the details. good morning. >> reporter: anne-marie, good morning to you. and the committee investigating the capitol riots has called the president's inaction that day a dereliction of duty, but it is that question of what exactly was happening inside the west wing they want answers to, and they hope two former officials at the white house that day can help explain during the primetime hearing. it's the last scheduled hearing of the summer tonight, and the january 6th house committee members say the focus -- what former president trump was doing as a mob rampaged back to you -- through the capitol building. >> focusing on those critical 187 minutes between when the attack on the capitol started and when donald trump finally iss

trump? well, anyone who was watching those 3 hours last night here in washington dc clearly could detect the case. anyone who still cares about facts and mary garland made that statement at 2 days before this and indicating that even a president will not be above the law. a former president, not a sitting president. and now all eyes are on the attorney general garland of what he will do with this information. and he has said that he doesn't want to talk about anything in the open, but clearly a present saying he doesn't want to say that the elections are over when they are over. that is hardly something that can be ignored. but one thing is for sure, the implications, the political waves and the public reaction amongst trump followers would follow immediately though we expect some kind of a statement from there fairly soon beyond producing evidence for the department of justice. this is also an event made for the american public. it was on prime time t v. yesterday. how effective have the hearings been in creating awareness about drums, role in the insurrection? well, it is flashed all over the media. there are phone in their programs every
