>> mehdi, i think the issue is more cultural then policies.find what policies is it that republicans are advocating for? that latinos are attracted to? i don't think that is the right question. the question is how are republicans versus democrats talking about the united states and connecting unemotionally with these voters. i will give you an example. a lot of people on the left tend to focus, many times, on our countries flaws. which obviously we are a flood nation. and how this country can be unfair in the way that it treats people. whereas, republicans tend to talk to voters about how this is an exceptional nation. a land of opportunity, the land of the free. this very odd, kind of special vision of what america is. and, if you are an immigrants that came from central america. that came from venezuela. from cuba, from nicaragua. and you get to this country, and you hear these massive things about how flood the country's. it's hard to connect with that. so, a lot of this has been cultural. it's abstract, it's hard to fully understand. but c

tonight on the mehdi hasa show, a brutal act of violence in an increasingly dangerous political climatesturbing

i am mehdi hasan in for chris hayes.u think of the ex president and his brazen lies and his ludicrous lawyers and his alleged crimes, donald trump's strategy is kind of working. look, it's undeniably the case that he improperly took extremely classified documents it's that them at his florida home / resort. those documents reportedly even included nuclear secrets. some of the most closely guarded information the u.s. government halt. and then trump lawyers apparently misled the government about the nature and number of those documents. none of that is really in question, but the thing, is this is an august and we are not talking and more about the classified documents scandal itself. instead, we're talking about the legal process by which the documents will be reviewed, which is what trump wants. today, the department of justice had to release a formal response to trump's own desperate appeal to the supreme court over those pilfered documents. we will get to that response in a moment. but, first i think it's worth taking

of a one 60 mehdi member who asked to be anonymous telling nbc that the investigation is winding downome point it's like, take the victory, and now it's in doj's hands. i wonder what you make of that comment. and given that, how important committees written report is going to be in that hand over. >> again, it shows that this committee was really focusing on two levels. one was the audience of one, merrick garland. so, what the doj will do with all of this is obviously paramount for holding these individuals accountable for what happened on january 6th. but they are also pointing to the court of the public opinion, and i think that's what this last hearing it's about. this last rush in the run up to the midterm elections to make clear that this is an ongoing and persistent threat to democracy, that did not abate on january 7th. it's only been accelerating and we are living with those consequences today. and that's what this election is about. >> melissa, hugo, thank you. eugene, you are staying with us next. some mid term news to get, two new polling our latino voters stand one month
