live in miami, florida. here is the week that was. newly i'm here to do what republican congress refused to do. taking necessary steps to secure the border. you be bringing migrants across the border illegally when crossings are over 2500 per day. the enshrined right to access contraception. >> i will not wait for the day that the supreme court takes away another one of our rights. >> when this election is over, based on what they have done, i will have every right to go after them. >> here in normandy, once more, god, love you. four hostages rescued alive after their capture by hamas. we begin with the breaking news in the israel gaza war with a tearful reunion eight months in the making. according to the idf, for people that were kidnapped from the nova music festival on october 7th were rescued earlier this morning from two separate locations in central gaza and are now in a hospital in israel in good medical condition. meanwhile here at home, protesters are gathering outside of the white house. organizers say that in may, president biden said that he was drawing a redline should israel invade rauf a. despite the recent moves within rafah are highlighting the failure to stand by his warning to the israeli government. joining me now is a member of the house oversight committee, congressman, thank you for joining us this morning, the idf announcing the rescue of four israeli hostages inside of gaza with the youngest being 21 years old just a week ago. president biden announced a hostage proposal. let's take a listen to what president biden told abc news earlier this week. >> is benjamin netanyahu listening to you? >> they were going to take the whole city out, full force, they have not done that. they have agreed to a significant agreement and if hamas accepts it. this will be backed by egypt, being backed by the whole arab world. we will see, this is a very difficult time. >> a huge relief to have those hostages back home. congressman, do you see any evidence that prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be responding to the pressure of the united states and other countries? >> first of all, it is great news that the hostages are back. noa argamani became famous with the footage of her being abducted in the first place, that is a great breakthrough. of course, there are many hostages that were not liberated yet. we are all rallying behind the push for a cease-fire to get hamas to agree to it. now we are understanding that this was a proposal that was put on the table by israel, by the netanyahu government. we are doing everything in our power to stay focused on getting all of the parties to agree with it which would lead to the return of all hostages, the complete finish of military hostilities in the beginning of negotiations to move us beyond these miserable cycles of terror and war. >> netanyahu will address congress and there are several democrats that plan to boycott the speech on the objections to his handling on the war in gaza. will you be in attendance? >> i'm just getting the invitation now. we just heard about july 24th. my main focus has been backing the president in the push for a cease-fire which i hope will happen before july 24th. all of us want to see that happen in the month of june. then i will look at all of the pros and cons of the different positions advanced by people. i have not had a chance to think it through yet. >> i want to switch gears a little bit. i read something that was so serendipitous. the co-chair was also a constitutional law professor. he writes today, some republicans including me, acquiesced in joe biden taking office because we thought we had to do that to preserve the facade of democracy. deep down we thought that joe biden's campaign had probably won with dirty tricks. that cannot be proved in a court of law. he says that you will always feel that biden was an illegitimate president. i want to bring this to your attention because this is a lawyer teaching lawyers that the 2020 election was stolen. a symptom of the bigger problem that is going on. >> you are totally right. that was a totally irresponsible statement. i was astonished when i saw it. he was someone who was going to rebut the most extreme claims that donald trump was making during the impeachment trial. it looks like they are circling the wagons around donald trump in the wake of his criminal conviction. i do not know what it is about the unanimous jury verdict based on the standard of proof beyond the reasonable doubt. i don't know why he can't understand that 60 federal and state courts reviewed every one of donald trump's claims of electoral fraud and rejected all of them. he says, i feel it. i get a spider sense in my bones. it cannot be proven in court criminally or civilly. the cofounder to ingratiate himself with donald trump decides that he is going to say that he feels that there is something wrong with it. that is the kind of feeling that is getting us into terrible trouble in the country. an attack on the rule of law. it is baffling to me. >> the quest to push miss information does not just happen in law schools, it is happening in congress. wanting to stopgap the lies. what happened this week with dr. frau, is there anything to do to make sure that does not happen in the halls of congress? >> the party of freedom has to be true. dr. fauci is a scientist and he said that this is nonsense and it is preposterous. i had republican colleagues and commentators out there saying that he created the covid-19 virus in order to make money off of it. they were charging him with profiting somehow off of covid- 19 and he refuted that definitively. and shut them down. i told dr. fauci at the hearing that they were talking to him like a convicted felon. you know, if you look at his record, not just on covid-19, hiv, a.i.d.s., a whole bunch of other diseases, he has saved hundreds of thousands of lives through his work as a doctor, scientist, and medical leader. they beat him up and they are running around the country trying to excuse a fraudster and convicted felon that was just found guilty by a jury of 12 peers chosen by both sides in the trial having paid $130,000 in hush money to his mistress and then cooking the books to engage in more financial fraud. that is the person that is defining their party. >> the hypocrisy is strong on the other side. thank you so much for getting us started, it is a pleasure to have you here. thanks for being here. congress has won a doable job, get america's business done, with constant chaos in congress, there is an effort to strip us of our rights. joining me now is pennsylvania senator bob casey. before we dive into that critical issue, i want to get your thoughts on the four is really hostages rescued by the idf this morning. >> thanks for having me on. it is great news that we had this release of four hostages. obviously, we want to keep working. bill burns and others are working to bring about the much broader hostage deal to get every hostage home and they have the benefit of an agreement. this is really good news, obviously, for the israeli people and for the families who had a loved one ripped away. >> i do want to ask you about the senate bill. the idea of enshrining the right to access to contraceptive, did it die on the floor? because of republicans. a lot of people saying that this is just for show. no threats to contraceptive. they would've said the same thing about abortion. >> it was a rather dramatic moment for the american people. sometimes the votes go by people. this is a right that should be enshrined into law for the whole nation. the right to contraceptive. those were the two parts of the bill. republicans over and over again have promised the american people that they support this right. then when they have the chance to move this bill forward, they vote against it and every republican voted no on this. it is a critical moment for the country to examine how extreme this party is. i am running in pennsylvania against someone who when asked in the republic in debate, he said that he supports the abortion ban with no exceptions. what does that mean for the right to contraceptive? and he has not answered these questions. i hope your viewers are concerned about women's right to contraceptive and abortion, they will help our campaign. >> there is an important issue that you have been banging on the job about for a long time. you call an agreed collation. that corporations jack up prices for all of us and then rip off shoppers to make sure that they are getting a profit and americans are feeling in their pockets. and then they blame joe biden of all people for this inflation. he even mentioned it in his state of the union. how can you protect the american people that are trying to put dinner on the table. >> families see the cost of food and household items exploding. exploding over the last couple of years in ways that we have not seen in recent history. all the while, corporate profits are going through the roof. if you look at the federal reserve, in that two-year time period profits rose 75% over inflation. they got a big tax break in 2017 and exploded their prices in 2020 and that continues into the 2023. keep prosecuting this case as i am. make sure that consumers know. pass a price gouging bill and roll back corporate tax breaks, obviously they did not need them, they are asked loitering prices. it's time to put an end to it. >> bob casey looking out for the americans. i appreciate you being here, thank you so much. retribution and revenge, calls i trump and his allies reaching a fever pitch. they might make for fundraiser cash grabs, experts are saying that we should absolutely believe him when he tells us what he is planning to do. there is more to come on the katie phang show. keep it right here. here. smile! you found it. the feeling of finding psoriasis can't filter out the real you. so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only sotyktu, a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding you're so ready for your close-up. or finding you don't have to hide your skin just your background. once-daily sotyktu was proven better, getting more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor. tyk2 is part of the jak family. it's not known if sotyktu has the same risks as jak inhibitors. find what plaque psoriasis has been hiding. there's only one sotyktu, so ask for it by name. so clearly you. sotyktu. nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider about nurtec odt from pfizer. at bombas, we're obsessed with socks. tees. and underwear. because your basic things should be your best things. one purchased equals one donated. visit bombas.com and get 20% off your first order. her uncle's unhappy. one purchased equals one donated. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. in the wake of 34 felony convictions, donald trump is set on one thing, revenge. he has suggested that he would be interested in prosecuting his political enemies if he is elected president again. lawmakers are in step with their leader, getting alvin bragg to testify about the trial. millions of americans head to the polls, trump, more than ever, will be focused only on his favorite issue, himself. joining me is the political strategist and cohost of the daily beast and the democracy podcast. ladies, always good to have you here. have a great new piece for msnbc online where you say that he is not just saying these things to excite his base and raise money, he believes in retribution and this has become central to his base. talking revenge might work for him, how effective is the message as a platform for attracting other voters? >> it's interesting, thank you for highlighting the piece. we are in june right now, it is still early. biden gets his base back and we will continue to see closed poles. this race will come down to suburban women. the one thing that we saw from 2020 is that they don't like a bully. they don't like people who bully other people. that is what donald trump will come across as if he continues, which i think he will. let's face it, the way that he ran for 2024 was because he wanted to stay out of jail and take revenge against younger people. that is the way it is going to go, when it comes to swing voters, it will backfire. >> i did find something interesting in the abc news poll that found that 52% of independents that were polled, double haters, they have the unfavorable view of trump and biden, they felt that trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race and given that is unlikely to happen, what could that mean going into november? >> i'm with you, i do not particularly pay attention to them. you know how to dress. what we understand right now, donald trump and his rhetoric is resonating with his base. resonating with his donors. they have continued to open up their coffers. when it comes to independence and women and people who understand and see what is happening state-by-state with the roll of their rights, they look at the larger picture and say, what does his tribune ocean have to do with me? how to teach my daughter about the fact that they have no control over their bodies and their futures. the more that democrats can focus the attention of the electorate on the policies and not just the rhetoric, then we will see that the republican party is that on 19th century america and people need to wake up to that. >> along that vein, we are seeing that he is starting to narrow down your search for a running mate. sources are telling nbc news that the top prospects are the north dakota governor, i have to be reminded of who he is all the time. tim scott of south carolina and i will add my own personal footnote, very notably, none of them are women. so beyond giving loyal to donald trump, do these people bring anything of value that will attract an independent? >> absolutely not. they will be turning away potential independence i should say. it is no doubt about it. the only thing he is looking for in a running mate is someone that will fall in line. he thinks by picking an african- american man or hispanic man that might help them with those communities. it will not. they also have a base they can talk to and donald trump doesn't like that. the north dakota governor is someone who no one knows and has no platform and is probably someone that donald trump really likes. the only question is how much money does he have? trump might be envious of that. >> danielle, i want to stay on this topic. it is a really important one. we have seen what donald trump does. susan brings up such good points. if these don't bring anything of quality to the table and alienate potential voters, of those four, do you think that any of them have a better chance, doug, i always have to be reminded who he is. >> in all honesty, donald trump does not care about what is best for the country. he cares about having somebody that will be his yes-man. somebody who if in fact, you are put back in the 2020 position, that you are going to look at donald trump and look away from the constitution. he needs people that are 100% drinking the kool-aid and do not take away the shine from him. that is incredibly important. you are not going to see nikki haley or any of those people that are there. they have their own shine. for you having to remind yourself, he fits the bill. no one knows him, he looks the part that donald trump really likes. he is rich. that is what donald trump wants in his corner. someone that will say yes. what we look for in a vice president has americans and voters is not what donald trump is looking for. >> i have less than a minute. i did want to stay on this. this is a really important point. people do pay attention to your pick and we have heard how amazing -- what kamala harris brings to the table, her life skills. when you look at the options available to donald trump, we talked about his criminality, it is a buffet of nothingness. it is the idea of picking someone that he can mold into someone that he wants them to be. >> absolutely. he does not want a vice president that brings something to the table. he does not want one that has a platform or agenda. when you look at vice president harris, she brought a lot. not because she was a woman or person of color. she balanced out the ticket. it made sense. anyone who has a brain won't agree to be his vp choice. anyone who agrees, it is about a straight ambition. >> it is a buffet of boring. thank you guys. i always appreciate your insight and analysis. still to come on the katie phang show, and absurd facebook post is causing hijinks in the election interference verdict in new york. first, justice denied, and the excuse that will postpone the documents trial in florida. we will see you on the other side.
