attorney, and peter baker and former rnc chairman michael steele.now if you have had that kind of intensive audit. they say it's very rare. for these two men, both of whom have the same job and both were on trump's enemy list, to both be audited is a one in 82 million probability, according to "the new york times." what say you? >> well, i haven't had the pleasure of an irs audit. perhaps something to look forward to, andrea. the statistics tell you that this is highly, highly unusual. the statistics don't tell you that it's improper. michael steele could win the lottery. it's extremely unlikely he will do that. he could win the lottery twice. that's a small chance. but winning it twice has happened. it's statistically possible. the only real answer i have right now is, highly unusual, statistically and mathematically. we should turn it over to the treasury inspector general and let that person figure it out. we don't know right now. it would be conjecture. the math looks daunting. >> peter baker, this "new york times" report by your colleague micha

so, let's get back with al franken and michael steele.ey told us that desantis is an even greater threat to democracy than trump -- what do you think? >> well, some of the things that he's done in florida make me feel that way. he's a smart guy. but, i have to say that it is still 2022. and indulging -- that's what the segment isn't about, it's kind of the parlor game about who is going to be the nominee in the party, who was the front runner in 2014 for the republican party. i just think that this is about, we should be thinking -- democrats should be thinking about the midterm. we should be talking about things like abortion. i, mean we talk about an issue with democrats, that americans favor, and they favor the position that most democrats -- i think that's what americans should be poignant about. this is what we should be thinking about now and working for. >> all right, then, let's get out of the parlor games and get into the president. something that is hugely important or should be hugely important to all americans's voting rights.

this procedure needs to be reformed. >> michael steele has the next question. chael, i just want to say, if this is brought in for a landing, and it looks like it is going to be, we talk about the vision in washington all the time. but there are obviously, as you know, a lot of bipartisan bills that pass every day that nobody pays attention to. i mean, this would be the third really significant piece of bipartisan legislation. you, of course, had a massive transportation bill that passed with bipartisan vote. you had the gun bill which, again, yeah, it didn't go far enough, but it was the first safety, gun safety legislation in a generation that passed both chambers and was signed into law. now, something that you have "the new york times" and "wall street journal" editorial pages saying for a couple years needs to be reformed, this electoral act count. this is an insurance policy against the next january 6th. that would be three bipartisan achievements from the house and the senate. i say good on them. >> yeah, i would, too. and this, i think, of those bipartis

michael steele will be here for a segment that we hope will be as sharp as it is viral. perhaps. tiktok reference. >>> by the end of the hour, we will be talking bob dylan, barack obama and kurt cobain with the right icon you see. the one and only dave grown on the beat tonight for our special mavericks interview. you might say the energy is contagious. here we are now. entertain us. but it's too early in the broadcast for lyrics. even for the beat. so let's just get to this top story. judgment day for steve bannon. the prosecution resting after calling the witnesses that they say will prove this and send him to prison. we will get into this with mr. gerstein as i mentioned but there is a method to the speed of the doj prosecutors. they are conveying to these jurors that this is a complex case the only two witnesses to prove it. one was the fbi agent who spoke out today and shredded what may have been one abandons only defense is if you're following the facts. is the claim that we reported on last night. bannon's lawyers say that benin wanted to cooperate and this was somehow a m

joining me now is michael steele, former chairman of the rnc and host of the michael steele podcast and the public religion institute. author of "white too long." i'm going to read you to you. you wrote this about the curious history of judeo christian can teach us about defeating white christian nationalists today. only 30% of americans agree that god intended america to be a new promise land where european christians could have a society that could be an example to the rest of the world, that number rises to dangerous levels including majorities of republicans, 53% and 52% white protestants. they are four times as likely to disagree that true americans may have to resort to violence to save the country. how do we get out of it if the republican party is completely overtaken by this? >> well, the first thing i should say, i think it's very important that you've included the words white christian nationalism altogether. the three interlocking pieces is the threat before us. somebody who studied this movement, somebody who grew up myself white and christian in the deep south as part of t

elise jordan and michael steele are still with us. conversation, we have msnbc contributor mike barnicle. and white house bureau chief at "politico" and the host of "way too early," jonathan lemire. >> mike barnicle, let's bring you into this rolling conversation we have been having about the "wall street journal"'s lead editorial today. it's talking about donald trump and the midterms and brings up what michael steele brought up last hour, this is starting to possibly look like 2010, 2012, when republicans had a chance to do extremely well and they just kept nominating crack pots for the primaries. they appear to be doing it again. donald trump appears to be, as the "wall street journal" editorial page says, appears to be hurting republicans again. they ask their readers, they ask their conservative readers, they ask republicans, what do you make of the fact that joe biden has the lowest approval ratings in modern american history for a president? yet, he still loses to donald trump. >> yeah, you know, what jeffrey had to say about d

i want to go now quickly to michael steele before we potentially get interrupted by this white house briefing. michael steele, i'm talking about people who might be convinced -- i'm hesitant to have this kfrs because i think these hearings are more important than that. they're to get it out in the public sphere period, to have a record of what happened and come what may after that. but are there folks out there that are not diehard trumpers that are still convincible, people that are not going to be watching fox news primetime tonight, where they're not going to be airing the hearings? >> yeah, i believe they are. i think that's been reflected in some of the polling that if you look at it as independent polling, you're going to say you don't necessarily see the picture. in my space, in my world, i try to connect the dots. so little things like the generic ballot has changed significantly in the favor of democrats. remember, the president of the united states is at 33% job approval and yet the american people are now coming to the conclusion they prefer democrats to keep the house by

i'm michael steele in for my friend ali velshi. the january six select committee's historic public hearings may be done for the short term. but, the investigation into the insurrection continues on multiple fronts. the two former senior officials at the center of the latest leaked controversial -- chad wulf, and former beauty secretary, ken cuccinelli, has responded to a report in the washington post but their text messages leading him to january 6th and vanished. by saying, they did not do it. both former officials took to twitter to blame the former department they worked for, dhs, for the missing text. with wolf adding, quote, dhs has all my texts, emails, phone logs, and schedules. speaking of wolf, the ap report of the select committee has reached out to him could potentially appear. as an act of talks are looking to bring in another high-ranking trump official, including the former director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe. even secretary mike pompeo. not only that, former treasury secretary and enthusiast of holding

pete strzok is here former fbi counter intelligence agent and michael steele is back, former rnc chairmanbc political analyst. i am so excited to talk to all of you. i want to start where congressman kinzinger left us last night. all of the public hearings had been these taut, narrative cliffhangers. they have also served to dump into the buckets of acts and criminal intent that they revealed that donald trump committed obstruction of an official proceeding and defrauding the u.s. government and seditious conspiracy, and i wonder with, daniel goldman if the effect of turn around this narrative that trump did nothing and revealing what he did do, he did call senators and he did bar photographers from the office. he was doing nothing. he was doing something, and it just wasn't stopping a deadly insurrection. >> oh, this is very important evidence to show his state of mind. you know, in conspiracies you will often put in evidence long after the object of the conspiracy was completed to show state of mind, to show consciousness of guilt, to show a cover-up because it's such damaging evidence

michael steele, my question is, what happens now? know what will happen here, whether there will be charges against the former president, whether he will be indicted. but let's say it is. let's say that does happen. some sort of conspiracy or fraud, by trying to stop the election. how does that play out? this is someone we know whose words have previously inspired violence. lester holt put this to attorney general merrick garland the other day. he used the phrase "it would tear the country apart." but garland said that's not my focus. my focus is that there was a crime committed. but let's play it out. what does happen? if donald j. trump is indicted by the department of justice in the days ahead? >> there would be a lot of noise and bluster around them. and there will be those who will likely protest and raise their fist. but at the end of the day, just how far are folks willing to go, now that you would have a justice department that has made it very clear where the line is. how much are you willing to risk them? i'm not saying tha

neal katyal, michael steele, to be continued.this hour. >>> when we come back, there's some big developments on a story we first told you about two weeks ago. it involves the republican nominee for governor in pennsylvania and his ties to a white supremacist social media platform. that update is next. >>> plus, progress on the biden administration's proposal to free detained americans brittney griner and paul whelan and possibly more. secretary of state tony blinken spoke today with his russian counterpart. we'll have a chance to ask white house national security council spokesperson john kirby where those negotiations stand. >>> plus, over the past few months, we have turned to colonel alexander vindman and ambassador michael mcfaul for their blunt assessment of what is happening on the ground in ukraine. they'll join us later in the hour as ukrainian forces may be starting to turn the tide against the russian invasion.

also the host of the michael steele podcast. msnbc analyst, michael what a pleasure on my end. thank you for joining us. some talk about this potential being the last public hearing. we put that to rest. she said this will be a thing that we pick up in september. let's take a listen to the. >>, new subpoenas have been issued and the dam has begun to break. and now, even as we conduct the ninth hearing, we have considerably more to do. we have far more evidence to share with the american people and more to gather. so our committee will spend august pursuing, from urging information on multiple fronts before convening for the hearings in the september. >> that began to break, coming forward, more information is being unearthed in the investigation. my question for you those that's an investigative shot. do you think dame will break in the terms of the political track. in terms of trump's hold on the republican party's phillips, it looks a little tenuous because of what is happening by this committee? >> yes first let me say stein and so first on a saturday morning is a dangerous

joining us now is michael steele, former rnc chairman, former maryland lieutenant governor and msnbcolitical analyst. couldn't think of anyone better to talk to about maryland politics than you. thanks for joining us. you certainly know more about it than i do. and the republican party, do you think these far right republican nominees for state office have a real shot at winning your state in the fall? >> no, they don't. and largely because the numbers work against republicans in the main. we're outnumbered two to one in democratic versus republican registration. what you saw happen at the time i ran in 2002 and what larry hogan started in 2014 was to create a narrative that began to appeal to central right democrats and independent voters who typically and traditionally voted democratic. gave them a choice to consider. what dan cox has done ostensibly is by defeating kelly, take that choice away from those voters. so the likelihood that they're going to, in the first instance, first blush, vote for someone who believes that joe biden was installed in the white house, bussed people t

let's bring into the conversation, michael steele he's the former chairman of the republican national committee. he joins me now. michael, it's good to see you, my friend. >> good to see you. >> i have to start out with a very simple question. what does it say about the republican party that a guy like byrne, the overstock guy, has this kind of power and direct access to the white house? >> yeah. i think a lot of republicans are like cipollone, when he walked into the oval office's and saw him sitting in the room, okay, who are you and why are you here but that is an example of what trump does. he doesn't bring people into the room that will push back against his level of crazy, his level of conspiracy, his level of wanting to change things in appropriately. he surrounds himself with people who will not, yes, try to figure out how to get it done. the fact that that meeting took place and the counsel to the president did not know about it and was not there and probably otherwise would have missed it had he not found out about it tells you everything about the plotting and planning that

it's going to be a very long couple of years, michael steele. >> yeah, i think it is the vision he has2024. it is a backward look but it's also tagged to what he believes his base voters think and feel about this country right now. they genuinely believe that they're needle-ridden streets, there are people who are sadists preying on children. we've heard some of this narrative, chris, already play out in the transgender debate. so he's going to continue to juxtapose a sort of cultural war ethic about what's going on culturally up against the backdrop of the 2020 election and motivate the base to be there. now, i'm still not convinced he jumps in because trump is, if nothing, is not afraid of losing and he's also not inclined to do the work. so the reality still remains that i think he's going to hold his position as long as he can to sort of ferret out the field that he wants that's going to best represent the trumpian vision of america should he not get in. if he can't find that, then maybe he does. but he doesn't see it in the vice president for sure and he doesn't see it in desantis

see for yourself. >> michael steele, i apologize. jeh johnson texted me so i got confused. michael, give me your reaction to that moment. >> oh, oh, katy, that was just absolute political gold last night. it was -- it was a complete and utter political emass could you emass could you lags. if twitter is any gauge how you create a meme, that is it right there. because it really spoke volumes about the duplicitous nature of all of this, this kind of i'm with you! you know, we're going to -- we're standing together! and then in the moment all those folks say oh, yeah, we're coming, they are out the door. they are not there. and it really is this image of the fist and then the scurrying away is so much what the republican party is about. as jake pointed out, you have mccarthy standing in the chamber going on about this is donald trump's fault and donald trump is responsible, and then two weeks later, he is running down to mar-a-lago to kiss the ring. so it is all about, and still is, not about the country, it is not about what happened on january 6, it is about their political

dereliction of duty, i don't we're not going to break, i'm gonna bring in frank figliuzzi and michael steele the rnc, and former lieutenant governor of maryland. frank, if decades of law enforcement experience. because what we heard tonight a dereliction of duty? >> it was in our understanding of this, certainly. let's be technical here, explain that that phrase, dereliction of duty applies to military service, and their code of criminal justice, not to civilian. even though donald trump is the commander of chief, or was the commander-in-chief. that military code would not apply to him. in the concept that he chose to not act, it deliberate decision to not take action, that is the problem for him. because it's one more piece, an important piece in the puzzle of the doj is looking at. what's the puzzle? what was going on terms of intent, mindset inside donald trump's brain, we got more of that today because leaders choose not to acts. so when you put all his actions, calling georgia, asking for one more vote. disregarding all of his experts telling him there's no fraud here. then going over t

board chair, julien tett, white house editor sam stein and former republican national chairman michael steelerol, this is a terrible gdp report for white house with inflation, the economy being top issues for voters, midterms just four months away. how is the president going to manage communicating all of this today when he comes out in about a half hour from now? >> part of the president's strategy that we have seen from his written statement is to say that this is no surprise. because there was record economic growth over the past year and that the fed is taking steps to try to bring down inflation by raising interest rates, that this is what's expected to happen. frankly, we have heard this from the white house all week. as early as sunday, janet yellen was on "meet the press" saying this is something happening. the economy would be expected to be slowing down. we are not in a recession. that's another piece of the message that the white house is trying to put out there. that's not for them to determine. but that's their message here. part of the concern is they don't want to will a recess

good evening, i'm michael steele in for simone sanders.january six committee says they got from trump's former white house counsel, pat cipollone. what will this play into tuesday's hearing well, focused on what some of us have called the marshaling of the mob, a coordinated effort between trump, his top aides associates, and white nationalists. we're finally getting an actual look inside the white house. hearing president trump described january 6th in his own words. with the release of a highly anticipated documentary, unprecedented. plus, one florida county slapping a warning notice on lgbtq+ kids in physics classes and overnight field trips. just the latest example of schools putting their own restrictions in place in response to the so-called don't say gay bill. you are watching some out on msnbc, and we have a lot to talk about.

former chairman of the republican national committee, and msnbc political analyst our friend michael steelethis has happened a few times that pence and trump and have broken on candidates and there seems to be a splintering of sorts in the republican party, but weigh in here, you're the expert, it certainly seemed like one of these candidates, you figure trump, has a lot more sway than the other. >> i think trump carries a lot of the momentum when it comes to endorsing candidates. there is no doubt about it. but it is interesting and telling that mike pence, his former vice president, is looking to angle in to the conversation. and to be honest, that's a good thing. it actually, you know, we can talk about the deep-rooted politics here but it does say that there is now beginning to emerge maybe some type of vibrancy in this process inside the gop and the primary process. now, how it plays out when it gets into the fall remains to be seen, whether or not pence rallies around these candidates if this candidate is not the winner in the primary, and is the nominee in the fall. but it does open
