and the rachel maddow podcast that he's talking about really goes into a history that we don't we basically aren't teaching about, but certainly show that these elements are, if they're not contained, if they're not addressed, they grow and they metastasize. and so what we see, we do like january 6th is that this move has not gone away. and now we're getting we see there have been attempted kidnapings. the governor of michigan, we know now that there have been these. shootings against democrats. there been threats ongoing against election workers. people work at library school teachers. there's a insane degree of violent language on the internet against all of these committed communities and constituencies. and it's not going to just stay there. it manifests itself into real life. and so it's to me a moment where the nation's political leaders, as well as the rest of us, have to speak out against this. it is not enough to be silent and say, well, i'm not part of it. we've got to speak out against it and we've got to have the info summit laws that make it unacceptable that this behavior can

and number two, and rachel, my colleague rachel maddow's who's been investigating on this, there's clear evidence that the decision not to charge more to pursue any criminal charges in that office at the time was maybe not quite on the up and up. so there's also that when we asked the question of why it didn't go anywhere. rebecca roiphe, joyce vance, thank you very much. coming up, the latest installment of the republican weaponization committee backfires again. democratic congressman colin allred onto these dug of the hearing, next. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. >> the weaponization committee , it's the crown jewel of the new republican house majority. it was going to be investigating the alleged weaponization of the federal g

senator warren expanded on tha point in a must-see intervie with rachel maddow tonight here is senatorren, on the senate floor, in 2018, arguing against the bank deregulatio bill that donald trump happily signed into law. >> washington is about to make it easier for the banks to run a risk, to make it easier to put our constituents at risk to make it easier to put american families in danger. just so that the ceos of these banks can get a new corporat jet and add another new floo to their shiny corporate headquarters >> michael hillsick, busines columnist at the los angeles times has been covering th story brilliantly. he writes, the government ha turned out to be the savior of silicon valley small governmen libertarians joining us now is michael, pulitzer prize-winning busines journalist for the l. a. times you make the point among other in your coverage of this tha there are no libertarians in silicon valleys during a ban failure. >> that's absolutely right lawrence these guys, the ventur capitalists, the investors who have been absolutely pleading, insisting that the fed and the fdi

but as rachel maddow recently noted right here on msnbc, public officials are arrested all the time.actually central to the rule of law. >> yes, it would be unprecedented for there to be aindictment issued against a u.s. president or former president. but we should also be real about the extent of exactly how historic this would be. because arrest public officials all the time in this country, and under the law there's nothing magical about being a former president. >> true. that is a fact so well established across our history that richard nixon's path to becoming a former president, leaving the white house, was widely seen as a big deal because that meant he would obviously be subject to possible indictment after leaving office. watergate investigators even wrote a road map which might have guided potential you future charges when he left office. >> if mr. nixon leaves office, will he face criminal prosecution? >> the special prosecutor is in a very unusual position, and he would have to make that decision. >> a third option is for the incoming plt ford to pardon the outgoing presi

rachel maddow called in and said about the protest part, trump trying to raise the civic cost of indictingthat,s she says, a threat of uncontrollable political violence would be triggered by any legal move against him. >> i mean, i don't take that seriously at all. i think the fact is that he's allowed to respond to something like this as the kind of exceptional, ridiculous, over the top thing that it is, you know, to indict a former president based on the evidence as thin as it is, the case as thin as it is and how unimportant this matter is to the american people is, frankly, irresponsible. of it's only going to increase the level of distrust americans have in these institutions, viewing them as simply the tools for advancing partisan agendas against people who are hated. and that includes, frankly from their perspective, themselves since they put themselves in trump's position as being part of his supporters and, you know, among that same deplorable team of americans that elected him in the first place. howard: by the way, or alvin bragg, who is an elected democrat in new york, put out

california congressman adam schiff who was one of the lawyers who led the first impeachment told rachel maddowly threatening death and destruction if he were indicted as he has now been. and it demonstrates i think the continuing perils of the country. it would be more perilous if we didn't observe the rule of law >> joining us now national political correspondent for politico meredith mcgraw good morning, meredith great to see you again this of course is historic because it's an indictment of a former president but also indictment of a current presidential candidate, and the favorite right now in most people's minds to be the republican nominee next year so walk us through how this indictment could impact trump's presidential campaign both in terms of logistics but also momentum and support >> i think in the long-term it's still very unclear how this will play out and how this could ultimately affect the 2024 election, but what we've seen just overnight is how trump's campaign and the people around him have tried to rally supporters they've made fund-raising appeals. the former president has

of american history and also, this isn't a new thing in america to have autocratic tendencies, rachel maddowd a piece on this, and the division seems so raw still. i'm worried to be honest, where we go from here and i think that we cannot pretend that we survived january 6th that the midterms went pretty well and things seem stable. we shouldn't fall into complacency and we have to be vigilant about who we trust with power in institutions that people listen to and what we do from here. >> thanks, james. >> so you know, when jacob gave his remarks just now, i agreed with, i agreed with them. you know, it was pretty hard to work on this material and engage with social media content and depositions and interview witnesses who, you know, held beliefs that included the dehumanization of people like me or people who share the identities that i have and i mean, that was really challenging, but also felt very necessary and so, you know, i like james tend towards cynicism and catastrophe and keep mine narrow in that i'm proud of what the select committee was able to do. you know, by giving americans

rachel maddow did the midterms . it is one of the -- i was a few but it is a sacred pipeline that the decision is made by the desk and when there may bear broadcast it seems that that fracture between arizona call and the nevada call, is a how you read this? >> absolutely. fox never again wanted to go first calling donald trump to have lost a key race, a vital race that could help swing oars cement the election for joe biden. i was watching. i remember, you are taking me back to 2020, and thinking about the sequence of calling. honestly, we watch fox very closely to see when they would do. they came in last as we saw rupert murdoch writing. the two top buses at the head of the pyramid. we could have done this first, we could call the general election first for joe biden. we had the information in hand before anyone else but perhaps it is better that we did not. i think it is notable that from some folks inside fox, that bret baier and marshall mcallen did not want to hang on that night. it was called to be around alo
