absolutely. i think it s too soon. we have to make sure that we are being guided by the data and not the dollars. reporter: but tonight, signs of progress in new york state. in the suburb of new rochelle, where we saw the first containment zone after a cluster of cases, today, a slow reopening. kamesha salmon opening her store for the first time in nearly two months. i understand the pandemic, but you also have to understand i have two children. they got to eat. we still have bills, and nothing changed. tom, i know you were in new rochelle tonight. things are starting to open up, and some positive signs. but restrictions in new york city still in place. reporter: that s right, david. and no date has been set to reopen, that has frustrated some new yorkers. but the governor and mayor have both said it s still not safe to reopen new york city. it will likely reopen in phases during the first two weeks of june. but an exact date has not been set. there is still major concern about minority communities in the city. tom, thank you. amid all of words erupting between president trump and joe biden. president trump taking aim at biden for wearing a mask on memorial day. biden responding, saying the president is an absolute fool to talk that way. here s mary bruce. reporter: tonight, two images reflect the split screen this campaign has become. president trump in a factory without a mask, surrounded by people who are all wearing them. and his rival joe biden, out for the first time publicly since march. his own face, covered. he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions. perfect weather. they are inside, they don t wear masks and so i thought it was very unusual that he had one on. reporter: biden tonight firing right back. he s a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. i mean, every leading doc in the world is saying we should wear a mask when you re in a crowd. this macho stuff for a guy, well, i shouldn t get going. but it just has cost people s lives. do you think wearing a mask projects strength or weakness? leadership. what it projects is leadership. reporter: the two candidates in stark contrast. president trump pushing to reopen, and is now threatening to rip the republican convention away from north carolina unless the state will allow a packed house. but today governor roy cooper, unmoved. i will say that it s okay for political conventions to be political. but pandemic response cannot be. reporter: the president is blaming the governor, not the virus, for why the convention might not go on as planned. we have a governor who doesn t want to open up the state. reporter: but the governor says his decision will be guided by health and safety concerns. noting that other large organizations like nascar have put together a plan to reopen safely and now it s the rnc s turn. and now the republican governors of florida and georgia are raising their hands to host the convention instead. while democrats are taking the opposite approach. they re already planning to massively scale back their convention. possibly holding much of it virtually. mary, thank you. we will turn next to the horror unfolding in brazil. second only to the u.s. in number of cases. hospitals there overwhelmed. they re digging mass graves. the white house with a travel ban that begins just hours from now. ian pannell tonight. reporter: tonight, the countdown to a midnight ban as travelers in brazil scramble. the country is the world s new hot spot, second only to the u.s. in confirmewhe house now p through the travel ban two days ahead of schedule, though u.s. citizens are exempt. more than 23,000 have now died in brazil from covid-19. the daily death rate exceeding that of the u.s. for the first time as hospitals become overwhelmed. and across the country, mass graves are dug to handle the surge. president bolsonaro, who called covid-19 a little flu, still defying social distancing and, at times, not wearing a mask just feet away from supporters. and here in mexico, cases also steadily rise with more than 71,000 confirmed cases and more than 7,600 deaths. but a new study of the data by a civic watchdog group claims that the number of deaths could be much higher. all of this as health professionals on both sides of the border are increasingly concerned over new plans to open up popular tourism sites in mexico like cancun next week. just turning back to brazil, have a look at this video of president bolsonaro amid the crowd of supporters and hugging a small child. accused of flouting social distancing rules, attending rallies as brazilians are dying in unprecedented numbers. david?

there s only one thing worse then a broken record, a shifty broken record. i just want to apologize to the audience, that was a terrible shifty soundbite. tyler from kentucky, watch out for that doug burgum fellow, he has great hair. they re here alone will get you on the ticket. greg know we ve got janine from milwaukee, and wisconsin, come to milwaukee, exhibit a city with beautiful people. state downtown, and obraro recap take a picture with the bronze funds. we ll be there in milwaukee the whole week, johnny will be there cutting trouble. johnny from brooklyn, what about men blowing up candles? is that manly? . only on a birthday cake. if you re doing it in a dining room, use the software. always remember, i am watters, this is my world. sean: welcome to. everyone: hannity. tonight s the left it is now falling apart under even a minimal amount of scrutiny coming up we ll show you a mesar moment from disgraced former trump prosecutor nathan wade during a bizarre interview on fake news cnn. also outraged as biden walks a pay raise for the troops after handing out billions to, you know, those overeducated social science major people and ivy league institutions with their massive student loan bailouts and few real-world skills. but we begin tonight in europe where joe spent the day humiliating himself and that s on behalf of america on the world s page yet ag again. he is in italy for the 50th g7 summit, not going particularly well. joe started the summit by awkwardly kissing italy s prime minister, giorgia meloni, on the head, sniffing her hair at one moment seemingly. then he saluted her before shuffling away. then during a power shoot demonstration, biden got dazed and confused. how shocking. and started to just, you know, wonder off like that as other g7 leaders looked on in agony and desperate for somebody to bring joe back in to the fold. luckily, italy s bremen is a very graciously helped biden get back to the group and during the summit, biden also somehow muster the energy for a speech but unfortunately he got distracted by a plane flying over head. take a look. president joe biden: to include key parts of russia s financial sector. alloway till it goes over. president joe biden: at well as individual providing radical to it s defense production like microelectronics, machine tools and industrial materials. sean: that was part of a gene speech with ukrainian prime minister lasky and after those remarks, biden allowed questions from focal reporters. teemak from the u.s., two from ukraine. of course, reporters were selected ahead of time. let s start with so and so from the ap. and then the questions appear to be prescripted as per usual and then something pretty remarkable happened. one reporter from bloomberg actually there to go off script, causing biden to become very, very annoyed. it s not supposed to work like this. take a look. thank you, mr president. i have a question for president zelenskyy shortly an announcement but if you don t mind i would like to ask you about your discussions on the situation in gaza here at the summit. you were asked just a short time ago about it after the skydiving demonstration. can you give us your assessment of hamas response and do you believe that they are trying to work towards a deal or is this response working against a deal? and what is your message to our lives, including those here at the g7 at about what more, if anything, the u.s. can due to drive towards a peace agreement? thank you. president joe biden: i wish you guys would play buy the rules a little bit. i m here to talk about a critical situation in ukr ukraine. sean: the way you treat israel versus the way you treat ukraine, the rhetoric to use about ukraine versus the rhetoric usable in row, yeah, that would be irrelevant question. howard there this reporter though not ask the question that was preapproved by the biden white house. of course, the complaint media mob that they re supposed to stick to the script. half court scott jewell does want what you talking about israel and in order to turn his radical base, he seems to feel the need to trash america strongest ally in the middle east after the worst terror attack in the history and do what? put restrictions on israel s war for its very survival? against terrorists that oh let s see how in their charter the destruction of the entire state of israel? anyone to force them out of the middle east? and by the way, eight americans, joke, they re still being held hostage in gaza. module would rather talk about is the low proxy war with russia according to biden pallet is far more pressing after years and years of fighting, jonah wants to give ukraine pretty much whatever they want so they can fight there war against putin. meanwhile it s really the america versus putting well is putting handcuffs on israel. she s barely lifting a finger to get any of our hostages home. so far the u.s. has committed 174 billion taxpayer dollars to ukraine in their war against russia while allocating a measly 12.6 billion to israel after the october 7th terrorist attack buy the islamic terrorist group hamas. now for biden this is all political. as per usual. his radical base, they call the shots. he is merely an empty vessel, you know, that complies with their demands. the radicals run that party. ultimately, nothing will satisfy their blood less but bloodlust against israel and capitalism. they want modern civilization basically to cease to exist as we know it in my name on it replaced with radical marxism, socialism. and frankly they don t like the principles on which this country was created. they hate our system, they hate our way of life. and joe biden is desperately needing their votes among the democratic party as it once was no longer exists. there are part of radicals, are in shambles. we see chaos everywhere, success pretty much nowhere. there are far left protests every day at nearly every single events including last night s congressional baseball game. there are also prominent democrats now trashing joe biden and his mental decline, they re doing it behind the scenes and if they get a little too loudly get brought in and lectured. trenin isn t even losing thousands of votes in the uncontested democratic primary to uncommitted, hundreds of thousands of boats he d lost. this is what happens when the person at the top is barely able to walk and talk. much less lead his party and adapt to the most radical policy in the history of the country to give in to the radical base of his party. meanwhile it s a very different theory smacked story over at the gop. today former president donald trump was warmly greeted on capitol hill during what was a joint meeting with cong congress. the republican party is now rallying again president with president trump and his plan to build the reduce taxes, increased energy production. spur yet another american boom like never before. take a look. mr. trump: thank you very much. this was a great meeting. this tremendous unity in the republican party. we want to see borders, we want to see strong military. we went to see money not wasted all over the world. we don t want to see russian ships right off the coast of florida, which is what they are right now, that s unthinkable. we want to see this success for our country. and we don t have success right now. we have inflation that killing everybody. we have levels of inflation that nobody has seen for they say 75 years. i would say probably all of them are wrong. probably will never seen levels like this before. we are going to end that. we are going to bring back our jobs. we re going to bring back common sense the government. were going to have strong borders and we are going to have people coming to our country but they will come illegally. they re not going to pour in from prisons all over south america and all over the world and it s not just south america by the way. is all over the world. and we re not going to have important for mental institution switches where they re coming from. large numbers and large numbers are are terrorist. were not going to have this. so what s happening to our country is of great concern to the group of people standing alongside of me and i just wanted to say that we have great unity. we have great common sense. sean: joining us now, someone who was inside that closed-door meeting on capitol hill. is the speaker of the house, mike johnson is with us. mr speaker, will come back at great value. and we just settle one thing wants and for all here. did president trump has been attributed to him that he took a shot at milwaukee. that he do that? know. i didn t hear it and i was sitting right next to him. i introduce him this morning to breakfast when he started the day. s book on our without notes, sean, you can stand up there and hold the four is the lucky ones. president can turn it on his a game and i m telling you in the room this morning there was energy, enthusiasm, excitement. we had colic in there, sean, were commenting after his visit was this morning, they re house republicans, that they haven t been this excited about the future of our country in 40 years. that s what one of my colleagues pulled me. there s a palpable energy. in his words, something said this morning, he said, something is happening in america and we see it. there s a demographic shift going on and all these different segments of the population. were headed for a great november, we have to like were ten points behind but i m convinced donald j. trump will get a second term as president, we re going to retake the republican majority in the senate and we are going to go without majority in the house and that will be a good day for america. sean: if you go issue by issue, if you go to law and order, the economy can go to immigration, if you go to america s rule on the world stage, i don t see where the democrats run on any policy of success. let s start at the border. lost part of the fact that we ve identified isis people with isis connections now in this country, you know, that we ve got people coming from venezuela that we have people coming from yemen and iran and syria and egypt and afghanistan. 30,000 chinese nationals since october. 26,000 chinese nationals last year. tens of thousands of, you know, and breaded joe biden illegal immigrants from our top geopolitical photos. you know, congressman, how is that a mere clear and present danger to this country right now? it absolutely is and, sean, everyone around the country recognize that. we ve been saying for three years every state is a border state now because it is. as you and i have discussed many times have we documented 64 specific executive actions that joe biden took to open that border wide and they ve invited all these dangerous people into our country and they ve taken up the invitation and come here. it s a serious situation. the fbi director has to buy three or four quick times in congress now in recent months that all the red lights are flashing and what he means is we ve got dangerous persons, we ve got tariffs on our own shores, in our country because joe biden opened the border wide and everybody knows it, sean. been traveling around the country last month, and then events in 123 cities in 29 states no and it doesn t matter whether i m in a blue state, in a swing district, the message is the same. that people are fed up with this. they re fed up with open water, where it is doing to them, security, they re feeling of safety and, of course, the cost of living, the rising cost of crime. all of these things that have compounded the problems that we can fix and i think what her that reason american people will give us a chance to do that. sean: every crime, every murder, every rape and eventually i pray to god i m wrong, if a terror attack happens by joe biden s and breaded illegal immigrants in his open border policy is now on 11 million and burning in this country, he got blood on his hands. what does stress president trump say he specifically will do on the border? i m assuming he just said specifically to go back when he left office. that s the whole thing. president trump is able leader and he understood that he ran on the border, he reminded back in 2015, border, border, border because he s a business that are coming and he got control of it. because he used his authority. he was executive orders for the right policies. he instituted remain in mexico where people had to stay on the other side of the border to adjudicate their claims for asylum. that s a no-brainer. the border patrol agents have told us and the leaders of that agency said if president biden would just issue that executive order and remain in mexico again, we can reduce the floor by 70% at the border. but he will not do it, sean, you know why? you and i know why because they want to open border because they want to turn these people into voters and we are working hard to prevent that from happening as well. so many problems. sean: what did president say he ll due on the economy? what did he say he would do with israel, with ukraine? what did the president say that he would due to get energy prices down and get, you know, get the american people, get money back in her pocket? a lot. on all those fronts. with regard to the economy we ve got to revive the american economy again and we know how to do it because you and i both know after the first couple of years the trenton administration we have the greatest economy in the history of the world not just the u.s. why? because we implemented policies that we ve all always believed in. we reduce the regulatory burden on job creators and innovators, entrepreneurs to all of the economy to thrive and we reduce taxes on job creators as well and hard-working families. we ve got to make those tax cuts permanent because they re going to expire soon and that will be the largest tax increase in u.s. history if we don t fix it next year and we ve got to get to in their military state under control. on their joe biden parlay weaponize agencies and smothered american business in the free market. we can reverse that. president trump is ready to a. you got any plans we ll spend all night talking about that. we re excited to to implement those things not anything will get a chance. sean: 95 days, congressman early morning starts in pennsylvania. ninety-five days from tonight. speaking speaker johnson, thank you. joining us now is south carolina senator instagram. senator, are not of money has been spent in ukraine. it seems in many ways that that has devolved in to a proxy war between joe biden versus putin or the u.s. versus russia. american people putting really angry about her mother and relate europe has not stepped up financially to protect their own continent and a. and then you ve got what? $12 billion, that s it, lagos to israel. but even worse than that joe biden will not allow israel to fight the war they need to win against radical islamic terrorists that slaughtered them on october 7th, took their own citizens hostage, americans hostage, and he is lecturing bibi netanyahu, the entire time, is not helping at all, and the worst part is, he said the u.s. won t help in terms of offensively helping to win the war on terror. joe biden has surrendered on the war against radical islamic terrorism. can you explain the disparity, because i can t. michigan, joe biden is worried about losing support in michigan. is throwing israel under the bus. there s been no better ally to the it to a state of israel and president trump. here recognized jerusalem as the capital of the jewish state. you recognize the goal not cerium. biden is withholding the weapons israel needs to win a war they can t afford to lose. everywhere israel looks, the radical islamists want to cut their throats. here is my message to the state of israel. help is on the way. president trump is coming back. sean: why are you sure certain, senator? because american people have had enough of this for couriers of just misery. misery at home. misery abroad. what i would say today about the senate engagement with president trump, he was the team captain and we were glad he was leading us. everybody in that room is dying for him to get back in office. he wants us to win the senate so we can put judges on the bench. you talked about him helping us. it was the single best meeting i ve ever seen between the united states republican senators and president trump. he was in a good mood. people appreciate him. he is leading in every state. we need to win the senate back. he is doing better than ever every republican senate meant candidate. there with the majority incentive is to marry up with president trump and his agenda. it gives us a positive meeting today. you talked about rebuilding this country and i can t wait to have him back. sean: did the people agree with you or didn t agree with you on your belief that there should be incredible 15 week ban on or allowance on the issue of abortion? put that aside. one thing i would argue and i don t think i m wrong about is that 2022, one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, the red wave did not occur was because of the overturning of roe v. wade. we had another supreme court decision, it was unanimous today. it was on the abortion pill. i think were up to 60-70% of all abortions are done with a pill, and the supreme court made very clear today that that will remain legal. the democrats will demagogue the issue, but will this ruling impact any or mitigate any demagoguery that will occur this election season? number 1, no matter what you do or say, they re going to accuse us of hating women and being extremists. president trump said today that the democratic party is extreme. they support abortion up to the moment of birth. the virginia governor, the old governor, talked about allowing a decision after the baby is born. there the extremist, not us. i m proud to be pro-life. you know, france limits abortion at 14 weeks. my bill is 15 weeks. president trump said leave it up to the states. i respect that. this will be decided based on abortion. this election will be about your physical security, ears prosperity and trying to get the world back in check before a lot of us get killed. have never been more worried about an attack on our country then i am right no and president trump said he was to have soviet ships off the coast of florida. weakness breeds aggression. the day president trump is elected, all of the stops. sean: nuclear weapons, hypersonic missiles of the coast of my free state of florida. it almost seems like a cuban missile crisis moment but joe doesn t know. well this is the 1930s all over again. why did russia invade ukraine, whited put into it? because he thought he could get away with it on biden s watch. i really believe that. whether they attack israel so viciously? they thought america wouldn t deal with israel. all that changes the day trump wins. i can t wait to have them back in office, the republican senators appreciate this man, so everybody out here watching, do all you can to help president trump because our way of life depends on it. sean: it really does. i say this is a reflection inflection point for the country, we have all that is a tipping point election. it s weigh bigger. i ve never and like you have never been more afraid for the country and the state of the world and i am right now. lindsey graham, senator, thank you. when we come back, jim jordan is trying to hold the left accountable for their raisin water warfare tactics and organization of hell explain straightahead music mark my back got injured very bad. i was off work for about a year. i heard about relief factor from my wife. i took it every day, three times a day, for three weeks. .look at her and i said, the pain is gone. and she said, i m glad it helped. i said, no, you don t understand. it s gone. you, too, can feel better every day with relief factor, a daily supplement that fights pain naturally. call or go online now and get 35% off your first order.

(vo) when life s doors open, we ll handle the house. sean: mark your calendars pennsylvania, 95 days now from the early voting on whether 44 days before election day and about for a month from today them another district attorney alvin bragg, you know, the guy that ran to get trump, that guy and from prosecutor, third highest ranking doing the official michelangelo will testify before the house judiciary committee, both of them, to answer their bill and political motivated prosecutor s my prosecution of donald trump. and by the way that hearing we will be the day after donald trump s sentencing. meanwhile the other state case against trump, the one in georgia, has gone completely off the rails. appeals court there will here arguments in the fall over whether or not dar fulton county any wellness will be removed from the case. earlier today, willis moved to dismiss the appeal. game and unhinged speech at a church where she is claiming to have been attacked and over sexualized? that s what she said. in other news her ex-lover nathan wait sat down with big new cnn for where he is s own media team decided to park the interview to give some advice. wholly fake new cnn. it s like a saturday night live skit. take a look. when did romantic relationship between. [ engine roars ] of you start? yeah. so, you know, we get into there s been this effort to say that okay, these exact dates are at issue and these exact dates are i m getting signaled here. can we go off mike for a second? yes. okay. keep rolling. don t stop. sean: please pause while we know bring our person being interviewed into another room to give them the answer. you can t make it up. here with more the chairman of the house judiciary committee, jim jordan is with us. before i get to the people that, you know, calendula and alvin bragg going before your committee, let me go back to what we learn in this trial of hunter biden, putting aside the low hanging fruit which has the tax crime but not the various burisma joe biden like to the cou country, hunter biden led to the country. fifty-one former intel officials lie to the country. of the fbi as a venue that really s attorney had a copy of alert laptop then you would believe so they were prebunking that in their weekly meetings with big tech and social media companies. and then when asked directly if they knew whether or not this was misinformation or the laptop was real and they wouldn t give an answer. the media mob line, big tech sensor the story. excuse me, is that election interference, jim jordan? yeah, and he was election interference literally two and half weeks before the most important in residential again for me the ruling in a break here in the hunter biden case was really about two things. for anyone who had any doubts, we now know for sure that the laptop was real because the prosecution can play government, david weiss entered it as evidence in that trial. and then second, none of this happened but for those whistleblowers coming for forward. but for shepley and ziglar coming forward and telling us what because i was a catalyst for the judge to take there close look that she did in the delaware court or they would have got that sweetheart deal through. so those two guys came together came forward and give us the facts. and by the way the story, sean, has stood up. the white house story has changed palatine a story has changed, david weiss orienting multiple times but not whistleblowers and their story has not wavered one bit because their post testimony was true. sean: the government has acknowledged something that we knew four years ago, that the laptop was very real. does that know me that hunter implicating the big guy and hunter, complaining bitt bitterly, s income income go to pop s, that hunter after talking to eric sherman about which income account build pay for pop s home repairs. this issue of burisma, that all of this now come into play in terms of a real investigation and possibly if we had a real attorney general that actually believed in equal justice and application of our loss, when he really when he be investigating it? and what does it say about the fact that he new the laptop was real for foreclosures and did nothing with her? we ve sent referrals to this attorney general and i think in four and half months we are going to have a new president and then in january of next year we re going to have a new attorney general so i let that justice department take a look at what we ve sent there on both hunter biden and on jim biden. and then these other issues that you ve just raised there. but, yeah, i think everyone now who has followed this story, follow the path you been 51 former intel officials in this whole story understand that what they were telling us is just not accurate. everyone knows that and again sort of the final step is when they actually entered the laptop as evidence, even though they had it cleared back in the summer of 2019 and they knew all along, the actually entered it as evidence to remove any doubt if someone we have had some. sean: those 51 officials have to account for what dave said considering none that i know of ever even worked at the laptop and were they organized by wink antony blinken to sign on to something for no other rea reason, with no knowledge whatsoever except the knowledge that they wanted to put jordan to be elected? twenty blinking went with mike baraka put this together many did it at tony blinken know what sort of the catalyst for it all and he put to get approval from the cia because they had this advisory board to have to sign on anything like this and, of course, it was used to downplay the whole story. and it was used to sensor the new york post, their twitter feed and everything else. they were blocked. and most important leave american people were kept from the information. were not done coming back to more investigative work to group to do on this issue and racketeering to do that. i think we re going to find more information and i try to make sure that the country understands everything about that whole situation in october of 2020. sean: so no merrick garland has been held in contempt. i would like to know if anything is going to happen to him like peter navarro or steve bannon. i would also like an answer from the attorney general if he is comfortable with letitia james and alvin bragg running on a platform to use there positions of power to go after one man, one family and one organization and i would like to get a better answer as to why the third highest ranking justice department official, matthew calendula, why would ever colangelo, why would anyone ever leave the prestigious position to go be a lawyer prosecutor in new york city? because that does not make any career sense, does it? no, it doesn t but we ll get a chance to ask mr colangelo and mr bragg those questions on july 12 win they come. and i think there are three big concerns with that whole ridiculous case in new york. first is just a fundamental jurisdictional issue. this was in the federal elections shoe and the ftc said there was nothing there, no crime, no problem so the department of justice, the southern district of new york. who that is a fundamental problem, than their due process problems. he had a partisan judge, partisan prosecutor, he had the gag order part put an president trump and they never even told us what the crime if they were trying to prosecute for goodness sakes. and finally maybe the biggest concern is the expert witness on campaign finance, brad smith, so the campaign finance expert wasn t allowed to talk about campaign finance. he wasn t allowed to be the expert witness in the courtroom. so we re going to give brad smith a chance to tell the congress and the country what he wasn t allowed to tell the court and the jury. brad smith will be coming as a witness as well. sean: maybe the judge can be questioned as to whether or not he understands what the sixth amendment of the constitution is or his maybe he can explain why the narrative on identify the crime that trump was being charged with or how they were able to opt charge from a misdemeanor with statute of limitations over now into some election law felony. i would like the answer to that and maybe bring in and grown as well and expand how he came to evaluation of mar-a-lago of 80 millions. when the property is close to worth worth to close a million and evidence was overwhelming. jim jordan, thank you. when we come back, the biden white house loves, loves, loves giving out government handouts. know they want to give out and be told you last night deer and birth control. by the way except when it comes to the military. not so interested in helping them out. we ll explain. ( ) i don t care if we ever come back that i always remember the fun we had i love fishing with dad now through june 14th save 10% on dad s favorite gift, special father s day gift cards, bass pro shops and cabela s. when did i call leaffilter? when i saw my gutters overflowing onto my porch. leaffilter is a permanent gutter solution, so, you never have to worry about costly damage from clogged gutters again. it s the easiest call you can make. call 833.leaf.filter today, or visit leaffilter.com. sean: thanks to joe biden s inflation if you have not gotten a 20% or greater raised since he took office well you ve lost money. twelve has not in our nation s military. now congress is trying to fix that by raising the pay for junior enlisted troops by about 20%. just one problem with that, joe biden says no way. the white house statement says, the administration strongly opposes making a significant permanent change to the basic pay schedule. is it any wonder that than that biden is doing so poorly poorly with young people or african-americans or hispanic americans or so many other people? you ve got two thirds of the country and are struggling financially. you ve got 25% of americans giving up meals because they can t afford them. and democrats, members of the media are starting to notice? take a look. number, have a problem. if not their policy is not their fundraising, it s not that joe biden suffered buffering of the juneteenth party. [laughter] no. the problem they have is there messaging. or just to it planar, it s how they talk. folks appreciate when someone sounds authentic even if their idea is terrible. but when democrats even when they talk about the good things they ve done, it sounds fake. some of it is is this cosmopolitan condensation, if you will. like, you need to at business people are that s across-the-board. that s black, white, and its hispanic. were going to lose hispanic males. going to completely lose th them. sean: here with a reaction, with more, chairman of project 21 florida congressman michael waltz. let me start with you congressman. our military under biden has gone well, equipment is way way down. militarily, there s a lot of saver rattling going on by china and russia and iran. we ve got a little miner cuban missile crisis going on off the coast of our state of florida will apparently the russians have a sub with nuclear and hypersonic missiles on it. my last understanding is the united states does not have hypersonic technology like china and russia does. he is giving free beer and birth control to young people to try and bribe them into voting for him. but you can t take care of our military? that is barely making ends meet? military that we ve covered in passed years have had to be on food stamps? right. yeah. sean, according to the defense department s own survey, over 250,000 troops experience what they call low food security, 120,000 troops very low. meaning a politically mist meals. and are losing weight. that s not even counting the family members and that s not even counting bidenomics and inflation. and yet house republicans are trying to fix that. it s bad enough that it s happening, it s bad enough we have a recruiting crisis, it s bad enough that they have banks that are literally falling apart with the black mold and pcs in them according to one recent inspection. but trenin is opposing it. so he s going to spend billions on a climate core, is going to spend a half billion inning the palestinians. but when it comes to paying them marine corps, when it comes to the soldiers with their butts on the line for the red white and blue, he s opposed. we re not talking the general started talking about the kernels, we are talking privates, sergeants, corporals. i m it sounded that there opposed to this given all of the other nonsense that this administration is spending money on. but yet were in the worst recruiting crisis since vietnam. [ engine roars ] it s very real. were losing whole divisions. we can t man and equip ships right now. were trying to fix it. an hour fighting the bite in administration too. sean: i couldn t in good conscious advice somebody to get in to the military with this guy as commander-in-chief because he doesn t know idea of the week it is. morris cooper let s look at the demographic problems for the democrats. the core base, they re eroding parts of their base. african-americans, hispanic americans, young people. what are the reason for this? first let me say this about this military probably proposition. this president has identified every problem that he could, when he was running in 2020, and his solution, spend more money. now that it comes time for us to share with those young men and women are willing to put their lives on the line, this president suddenly just doesn t want to spend. you can t be this wrong by accident. know with regard to these other concerns, many black americans are complaining that this president s paredes have everything to do with the cocktail hour in the professor s lounge and absolutely nothing to do with their real lives. it is amazing how many hispanics are saying they are no longer willing to support this president and his party. we are looking at an election where it is possible that a republican me win the hispanic vote for the first time. you are seeing the young votes you are seeing the women s vote, you are seeing so many areas where this president for stewardship of the economy, parade rising all of the progressive agendas over the needs of mainstream america. and it s no surprise that you are seeing americans complain across the board. sean: why is it okay for china to have us by balloon or balloon or china distant, you know, be saver rattling, you know, hostile movers against our fighter jets in international airspace, hostile movers against our neighbor in international waterways. now we got russia with a sub, nuclear arm we believe with hypersonic missiles, what is not that not a bigger deal, congressman? well because at the end of the day, you have an administration that has a concessions base approach. and you ve got you have john carry leading their doctoral allegation over to china the last three years begging them to do more on climate which they know they can take advantage of and then continue their nuclear buildup, their space buildup calendar military buildup. i, this crew is asleep on the switch, sean, and it s going to take an entire content term to dig out of this hole but he talked about it this morning. republican s are regard to hit the ground running in january of 2025. sean: it s not iran that s an existential threat, it s russia, it s not china, it s climate change. that s how out of touch there are. insane times. thank you both. when we come back, legendary fitness and health group jillian michaels, wow, leaving the woke state of florida woke state of california, story, receipt of florida, she said the woke victim allergy poker just became too much for her. powerful take straight ahead. weathertech products are designed and manufactured in america using only american raw materials. most competitors make things seven thousand miles away. and then wonder why they don t fit. with weathertech in your vehicle you may hear angels singing as you marvel, how do they do it?

where are you? miami. california got too crazy for me. why? okay. this is my parting line. at work here. i m a woman. i m a gay woman. my mom is a jew. my dad s an arab. i have a black kid. and believe it or not, mismanaged, latin even though he doesn t look like it. i hold a million cards in your game of woke victim allergy poker and when i leave california, maybe you ve lost your [bleep] mind map just maybe! some of these laws that are passing here are absolutely bleakly mind-boggling in relation to crime, protecting our kids back on the fact that a 12-year-old child can be put on off label cancer drugs to irreparably change their body. again, if my son came to me and said mom, i think i m trans i d say okay, you know, he want to address this way, you want me to call you whatever the heck you what fine. explore it. i love you. i m cool do you as long as we are safe. but were not changing your body until it s fully developed. i m sorry. conversation is over. can t get a belief, to. its madness. its madness to me. i can go on and on and on, and it s madness. i don t know what s going on here. sean: madness. your with ration the host of time you learn is fearless, time you learn. you know, i ve always thought she was one of the most inspirational when it comes to health, wellness, fitness, nutrition. and listen to that speech and it blew me away. it really did. i thought it was extraordinarily powerful. your thoughts? she s not the only person that feels that way and, in fact, i would argue that a lot of even california liberals feel very much the same she doesn t adjust to afraid to speak out. sean, you know that i lived in la for over three years and i got the heck out of the start of covid because i could see the riding on the wall. things were already ten woke after taxes and relations were already off the charts weatherman covid started and the only thing they wanted to lock people up for an arrest people for was playing in parts without a mask? i got the heck out of california and came to a great free red states like tennessee and i haven t looked back since and there are so many people, they re doing the same thing. the democrats which inclusively almost exclusively round that state have run in to the ground. only redeeming quality left is the rather. i don t know, sean, you re in florida, i tennessee. i think the weather is pretty weak here in the even better. sean: yeah. i, i can t add to what she say. it s not, it s insane and she talked about all the people even having sex with, you know, 14-year-old kids and that s okay? know it s not. and she really touched on every topic. obviously it doesn t sound politically conservative but she s just against crazy. and that s what the left has become insane. right and i thought it was interesting that she pointed out on paper, i m one of them. i m everything they want to. i should be the person they re courting. however, they ve gone too far beyond back that and i think what we heard was a mom and that s what fascinated me. a mom because she constantly was talking about my cane or if a child wants to do this, i m concerned about safety and i think as someone who as a child suffered from childhood obesity, came out of that, she is a fitness group, she had she was like goes for me. when i look at her i think that s what i want to be. and yet she has watched society say you know what? the swimsuit model can be obese now, the boy can run against the girl and take all her records, and everything that she has achieved in life with health and fitness can be taken away by the society that says we should look at these people and say this is what we want. this is beautiful. were so happy and she said you know what? i m just done with it. i want my kids to be safe. i want my kids bodies to be safe filmmaker of. i don t want them to be influenced by this. and she left because of it and i think it s kind of beautiful to have someone leave enough to speak out about it especially as a mom and especially as someone who has bought for so far hard for health for not only herself but for other people for decades. she s an amazing woman and it s wonderful to hear her say this. sean: yeah. i don t know. i just hope she doesn t, you know, vote democratic in florida win she gets here. otherwise, welcome to florida ground julian michaels, i ll say that. a little sound like in going to vote for those policies in the future. all right. thank you, both. when we come back, straight ahead more hannity. this is the easiest, non-toxic swap you ll ever make. lumineux toothpaste was made by dentists designed to break up plaque and remove any toxins in the mouth, so it ll deep clean your teeth and whiten your teeth without any sensitivity. find lumineux toothpaste at a walmart and target. my back got injured very bad. i was off work for about a year. i heard about relief factor from my wife. i took it every day, three times a day, for three weeks. .look at her and i said, the pain is gone. it s ninety-five days early voting starts in pennsylvania this election matters. et al. the time we have left this evening thank you for being with us, making the show possible up your excite your dvr so you never miss an episode of hannity. let not your hearts be troubled. greg gutfeld standing by to put a smile on your face. have a great night
plants and meatpacking plants. these aren t the most powerful people and where do they turn? you have a right-wing house of representatives and a very right-wing supreme court. exactly and i think this is why so many people feel powerless and ironically some are feeling so powerless that they turn to somebody who looks like a strong man. wright, with a golden toilet. who was actually at this moment giving big tax breaks and promising more tax breaks to the biggest corporations. people need to know that the most important thing to remember is the massive trump tax cut will expire next year. he is not for the regular person. robert reich, thank you so much. that is tonight s reidout . all in with chris hayes starts now. tonight on all in a hero s welcome on capitol hill for the architect of the insurrection. we are 100% unified behind his candidacy. a lot of support. the best speech i ve ever heard. we are incredibly unified in working with president trump to get him elected. tonight, how congressional republicans became accomplices to the criminal ex-president. this is an outstanding group of people. i m with them 1000%. they are with me 1000%. as trump pressures the speaker of the house to overturn his felony conviction. then, new reporting on undisclosed luxury gifts to clarence thomas. and why today s supreme court ruling on abortion pills is just the beginning of the battle, when all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. a lot has happened on capitol hill since the last time donald trump was there. there was the deadly insurrection he incited. there was the biden inauguration he skipped. there was the record-setting second impeachment he faced and there was a time in the immediate aftermath of all of that, late january, february, march, it seemed he may never be welcome back. but we know how that turned out. today the former president and his 34 felony convictions tracked to capitol hill at the invitation of house and senate republicans where he was received like a different dawn. a crime don. seeking not supporters but accomplices and co-conspirators. they are using us as a bad example of democracy and they are getting away with murder and we are not going to let it happen. you are all elected or you are going to be elected again and reelected. i m with everyone of you and i will be with you always. this is an outstanding group of people. i m with them 1000%. we agree just about everything and if there isn t we work it out. the term kiss the ring has been used so often with trumpet has virtually lost all meaning, but it really was on display in washington today. everything about this appearance was meant to convey the idea of republican party unity and they all performed it strenuously. that unity essentially remaking the party of lincoln into a mafia type operation with him at the top. a man convicted in a conspiracy to pay off former paramore is because he feared their stories would complicate his campaign. a man found liable for sexual assault of exactly the kind he brags about. a man who surrounds himself with lackeys who have been convicted or charged of serious crimes. steve bannon, michael flynn. trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of many of those men. of course they never snitched. because trump envisions interactions with people in these sort of organized crime transaction terms. you do for me and if i am in a good mood and i am happy with your performance, you will get a cut. the republican party signed up to be part of this. that was on display today with discussions behind closed doors. as sources told reporter jake sherman, trump singled out house republicans who voted to impeach him saying that out of the 10 that impeached only one is left. sherman pointed out that was wrong, there are actually two left, but this was trump basically doing his impression of al capone in the untouchables, pointing out all the people in his gang that flipped on him. a sort of snitches get stitches, stay on my good side message to the foot soldiers. if you think that pressure does not work, look at the outgoing majority leader mitch mcconnell. remember what he said about trump in the aftermath of the insurrection? there is no question, none, the president trump is practically and morally responsible for promoting the events of the day. no question about it. this was an intensifying crescendo of conspiracy theories orchestrated by an outgoing president who seemed determined to either overturn the voters decision or else torch our institutions on the way out. and yet here was mcconnell today. the old man, supplicant, submissive, bending over to kiss the ring. getting a breezy endorsement of trump s capitol hill pilgrimage. reporter: senator how was it seeing the former president? we had a good meeting. we shook hands a few times. he took questions from the audience and it was an entirely positive session. great work, mitch. despite all that plenty of those lawmakers were feckless enough to drip out details of trump s backroom talk to sherman and other reporters because you can never underestimate just how cowardly they are. for instance when trump told republicans today that milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city. another source told reporters trump was rambling to the crowd. said it was like, and i quote, talking to her drunk uncle at the family reunion. of course in public those sources will get in line and kiss the ring and give the don whatever he wants. maybe you think this is all being too literal. hyperbolic with the metaphors. crime bosses. surely he does not embrace actual criminal gangs and racketeering and violence as a campaign feature. but this is now part of his campaign. listen closely to this because i still can t get over this. it flew almost completely beneath the radar on the mainstream media. i will include us with this, with the exception of the associated press and a few others. but it was on display at his campaign rally last month in the bronx when he shared the stage with a few supportive guests. where is where is he? come on up, fellas. always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. trump will shout to the winds for all of us. make america great again. okay so trump is doing a rally in the bronx. to trump those rappers are powerful allies. they are also criminal defendants in a sweeping gang case where prosecutors say they gave material support to a gang during a violent street war with another gang. brooklyn district attorney gonzalez says gang members used more than 30 guns to threaten or eliminate their rivals. in total gonzalez says there was one murder, for attempted murders and 12 nonfatal shootings. what we allege and learned during the course of this investigation was that he used a lot of the money that he earned to help facilitate further gang activity. he encouraged gang members to participate in violent crimes. sheff g, who is the rapper on stage with donald trump that he invited up there. prosecutors allege that he threw a party to celebrate a drive-by shooting in october, 2020, in which one alleged gang member was killed and five others were injured. murder. again, alleged. innocent until proven guilty in our system, but did you hear all of that? imagine what the new york post would have done with this headline if those gentlemen had shown up at a rally for aoc or if president joe biden introduced to them introduced them on stage. but the fact of the matter is that conservatives have a criminal as their preferred nominee and he is embracing a criminal model for the enterprise that is now the republican party. michelle goldberg is an opinion columnist for the new york times. tara, let me start with that. those two individuals on that stage. again, i can t believe it happened and these are not, you know, there are all kinds of ways people have been accused of crime. the system can be unfair, but they are accused of being part of a gang that has killed and shocked and maimed people and they are on stage with donald trump and i don t think it is an accident because i think this is kind of the vibe of the campaign. yeah, i talked about this right after the rally, i think on this network, as a matter of fact. pointing out how despicable this was and how this is seemingly okay now in the law and order republican party. it is such an affront to so many things and it is an insult to the american people that we are supposed to sit here and think this is normal. donald trump is a convicted felon. republicans are welcoming him to capitol hill with a hero s welcome. back to the scene of the crime where mitch mcconnell calls him practically responsible for an insurrection. pal around with accused murderers. this is all normal. it s just fine. it s not. it s not. he gets very frustrating sometimes when there seems to be a moral equivalence made between trump and biden and the way the campaigns are covered. like donald trump did what he did today. he is having these rallies where he is going on random rants about sharks and boats and electrocution. he is palling around on stage with guys who are also alleged criminals. meanwhile president biden is overseas representing the united states with honor and dignity of the g-7 and just entered a security deal with ukraine trying to maintain democracy in europe. there is no moral equivalence. your point about how this slipped under the radar and seems par for the course for donald trump, unfortunately this is who he is. he thinks this is okay and by the way for any black folks who think donald trump is on your side, this is what he thinks of you. black people will like me because i hang around with criminals and they were flashy chains and gold sneakers. it is such an affront, honestly, but this is who donald trump is. michelle, one of the thing that happens and again i use the mafia metaphor, because the unity is so intense. of course behind-the-scenes you have like talking to your drunk uncle. he was rambling. everyone goes and tells reporters and there is this distance. the unbelievable applause and then everyone going to tell the reporter that he was really nuts behind closed doors. right, it kind of brings back memories of 2016 to 2020, where you constantly had republicans in these really degrading displays of fealty and then they would go and try to distance themselves from it when no one was looking. maybe because they think it is all a game and we see how far it goes over and over again. i think after the mafia element, it is not just these two rappers. the trim campaign is leaning hard into mafia metaphors. you have seen the godfather t- shirts and merchandise with godfather iconography. donald trump has compared himself favorably to al capone. recently breitbart ran an interview with peter navarro, former trump official and probably future trump official if trump is reelected. currently in prison in miami. he gave this jailhouse interview boasting about how he gets treated really well because the guards and the inmates love donald trump. sort of how a made demand would be treated if he goes to prison and is still able to slice the garlic really thin. i think what is important is it is not just hypocrisy. not just a defiance of law and order. it is a different model of governance that a lot of republicans have embraced. a hierarchy based on personal relationships that they see as an alternative to technocratic liberalism. yes, mafia state as an aspirational model. and then i never know what s worse, like the people who are pretending or the people who are true believers. i think i know which category marjorie taylor greene is, but let me just play her reaction to seeing donald trump today. i really found his speech to be one of my favorite speeches. he came in, talked to the conference. he was very honest. he was funny. he was joking around constantly with everyone. he was really sweet to me. he said to speaker johnson, okay, you ve got one more seat. you need to be tougher. i was sitting back a little ways. he saw me and he was like hello. he is always so sweet and recognizes me and said are you being nice? he was joking and said are you being nice to speaker johnson? he said okay, be nice to him and i nodded my head. the thing about this is, yes, there is always a duality here. he knows what he is doing and the transactional politics are real and they have all sort of bought into it. it is successful because they are willing to get on board for what it will mean for them. yes of course and to answer your question who is worse, the true believers or the enablers, it is the enablers 100%. the true believers, you can excuse it away that they are so far into it that it is not rational for them. the enablers are the ones who know better and are in a position to say no or to say stop, when no one else will. which is what conservatives were supposed to be doing according to bill buckley, the godfather of modern conservative history. they did not do that. they made a decision that this would be a transactional, politically expedient decision to suck up to donald trump who is a direct and immediate existential threat to our democracy. he wants a club talker see and they are okay with that as long as they get their piece of the pie, but no one is safe under donald trump. he will come for them, too. then we as a country and a democracy have to pay the price. that is why he has to be stopped. go ask mike pence who narrowly avoided correct. getting grabbed by a mob calling for him to be hanged. this is j.d. vance, speaking of people auditioning, to be the next person who may be facing that situation. no real republican with any credibility in the party is still blaming trump for january 6. i think it is a good thing. the republican party is in a good place. i think today was kind of like the button on the january 6 was bad era of the republican party. to whatever extent it was there, today was the definitive marking of the end. right and it has been coming for a while. this is obviously a candidate running extensively on january 6 rioters were heroes and warriors and i m going to pardon the mall. the party has embraced him and embraced that message. j.d. vance is right. there are not very many republicans, if any, who have credibility in their party who will say what mitch mcconnell said after january 6 and what i think most of them know in their hearts to be true. michelle goldberg, tara setmayer, thank you both. when you are the republican pic for president and you want to overturn your conviction for multiple felonies, who do you call? the plea he made to the speaker of the house, next. se, next. clean white socks? it can with tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. this is chocolate, right? just use. tide. yeah. no matter who s doing it, on what cycle, or in what temperature, tide works. so i can focus on all the other questions. do crabs have eyebrows? ahh. for all of life s laundry questions. it s got to be tide. katie! i knew i d find you here. i know, it s wild. i m you from the future! anyway our doctor figured it out. all that constipation with belly pain that keeps coming back, it s ibs-c. she said linzess could help you get ahead of it. whatta you say? yess! get ahead of your ibs-c with linzess. linzess is not a laxative. it s a once-daily pill that helps you get ahead of your symptoms. it s proven to help you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. and helps relieve overall abdominal symptoms - belly pain, discomfort, and bloating. do not give linzess to children less than two. it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it s severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. these aren t all the side effects. imagine. what could relief from ibs-c mean for you?

i do think this is a case for the courts. institutional equities are important to understand. it is also worth noting, the idea that he could ping-pong from justice to justice, that is not how the court tends to do things now. what they usually do is yes the emergency application will go to justice sotomayor and then instead of going to another justice it would go to the full court as a matter of practice and i think it is safe to say they would almost certainly turn it down. this is an extremely conservative court. it is a hard right court, but it is not really a maga court. there have been issues where trump s issues align with those of the conservative justices and uc benefits for him there, but it is really hard for me to see how he could even get to for justices who would be interested in taking on this case right off the bat. he really would be stretching. i totally agree and i think one of the things you see is mitch mcconnell had this sort of speech after january 6 that was basically like this is not the way you do this. basically he was saying you ve got to do the bush league or thing if you want to take an election away, not this january 6 nonsense. do it the bush versus gore way. that is a ludicrous argument and it has done what it needed to do almost certainly in terms of delaying. to call up mike johnson and yell at him to make a magical bill that i am no longer a convicted felon is not going to do the job. right and i think this is what things look like in a federal system. the congress, the president of trump is elected again, they do not have power over what the new york state courts do. alvin bragg, whose office prosecuted this case as district attorney, he was directly elected by the people of manhattan. to some extent i think what trump is really raging against is just the idea that there might be jurisdictions simply out of his control. that is exactly what has him so worked up. quinta jurecic, thank you. coming up, in case $4 million in gifts weren t enough, what s the, it looks like terrence kalama s forgot looks like clarence thomas forgot to disclose another set of gifts. that is ahead. ahead. clean enough for you?

it is calming down on its own. it matters because donald trump is running on the most explicit inflationary platform in modern history. i think we should have a ring around the collar, as they say. i think when companies come in and dump products in the united states they should pay automatically, let s say a 10% tax. i do like 10% for everybody. trump s proposal, a 10% tariff on all foreign goods would basically be a sales tax. it would raise prices for american consumers 10% on everything from avocados to iphones. if you think that is bad, today, behind closed doors outside of the view of cameras, donald trump proposed one of the most arranged policies i have ever heard. he told republican lawmakers behind closed doors that he wants to eliminate the income tax and replace it entirely with tariffs, effectively taking us back to the 19th century. this idea makes as much sense as ripping up the interstate highway system and replacing it with canals. economist paul krugman did some math and estimates the policy would require an average tariff of 133%. not 10%. that is a 133% tax psych on all imported goods that would be passed on to consumers. it would cost americans hundreds of millions of dollars. a policy advisor explained further. another way to put trump s latest incredibly unworkable idea, get this, it would raise taxes by $5000 for a typical family if you are a working person who buys stuff. it would cut taxes for the average family in the top 0.1% by $1.5 million. this proposal would jack up everything everywhere for normal people, crushing the average american s wallet, while giving the wealthiest folks who no longer have to pay income tax and don t buy that much relative to their income, and enormous windfall of millions of dollars. this is the man who has a 50-50 shot of taking the white house, in large part because of the conditions that produced high inflation and he is seriously and earnestly currently running on the most inflationary platform i ve ever seen. higher prices, higher taxes for everyone. it would make what we ve seen over the past few years look like nothing. othing. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis. far-xi-ga voices of people with cidp: cidp disrupts. cidp derails. let s be honest. all: cidp sucks! voices of people with cidp: but living with cidp doesn t have to. when you sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com, you ll find inspiration in real patient stories, helpful tips, reliable information, and more. cidp can be tough. but finding hope just got a little easier. sign up at shiningthroughcidp.com. all: be heard. be hopeful. be you. children are the greatest joy and our best hope for a better future. friends, they are the future. but did you know that millions of kids right here in our own backyard are facing hunger every day without healthy food it s harder to grow, to thrive, to feel their best. the impact when children don t have enough to eat is tremendous, because when you re hungry and your basic needs aren t being met, you cannot learn. that s why i m here now, asking you to join me in helping end child hunger in america. this is a problem we know how to solve and we can do it better by supporting no kid hungry for just $0.63 a day, only $19 a month. you can help provide healthy meals like a good breakfast in class to power kids through their days. breakfast in the classroom contributes to kids being more focused, which leads to higher grades, test scores and simply just their well-being. ensuring all kids get a good breakfast and other nutritious food is a beautiful thing. it s a game changer and you can help make it happen when you join me in supporting no kid hungry today. that food is not just food. it s energy, health, confidence, hope, and even love. yes, love. so please call now or go online to helpnokidhungry.org right now give $19 a month, only $0.63 a day. and when you use your credit card, you ll get this special team t-shirt to show that you re helping kids build a brighter future for themselves. thank you. families are struggling to make ends meet. these are hard times, but together we can help connect america s kids with meals. so please call now or go online to give. thank you. our biggest challenge?

the thing that is so striking is the scale of it. we are looking at a picture where harlan crow s private jet, a particularly nice private jet was at the disposal of justice thomas and there are multiple incidents where, for example, flying from washington, d.c. to san jose, california, staying for a few hours and turning around and going back on the same day. that s happened repeatedly. and going from where the jet is based in dallas to d.c. to pick up the justice. it adds to a long list and the picture is a billionaire political donor in a real way subsidizing the life of a justice. they don t make clear the purpose of the trips that included trip from st. louis to montana. location of glacier park international airport. he was scheduled to be in st. louis for a speech. in one instance he flew from the east coast to san jose and returned home later that day. another he took a round-trip flight from washington, d.c. to savannah, georgia. this is how taylor swift or elon musk, that is how they get around. right, the round-trip alone, seemingly for some kind of lunch, we don t know what it was for, still, that could easily cost $100,000 for the flight. probably double the median income that an american makes in a year. it is an extraordinary amount of money. a $100,000 flight. yeah and last week justin thomas amended some prior years disclosure forms to disclose other things harlan crow has paid for. hotels and lodging and vacations. a trip to california. that is the third time he s done that. to be clear, these three no one knew about and no one reported. these were totally new to us. you had no idea? i had no idea. this is it, right? this has to be it. i think we have an absolute, definitive account. look, some of the reporting we did took myself and coworkers months of reporting to piece together these trips that justice thomas and justice alito also got. we don t have subpoena power. the senate judiciary committee does. they said today there would be a full report coming out this summer, so i would not be surprised if there are more revelations. they subpoenaed leonard leo as well, who basically told them to go pound sand. pound sand, thank you for stopping me from saying what i was going to say. harlan crow, he is cooperating. they are getting this from harlan crow. right. they authorized a subpoena. didn t actually issue attended became leverage in negotiations with lawyers and they came up with this deal where he is giving information about the past seven years. potentially not just travel. we will find out when the full investigation comes out this summer. we have to update our bar chart. it is a tough one to read. let s see, which one is thomas? right, there he is on the left. we might need to raise up that bar after we price these ones in. maybe this summer we will get more. can i get your response since i have you here about something justice alito said about your reporting. this is something that he said recently. surreptitiously recorded. take a listen. there are groups that are very well-funded by ideological groups that have spearheaded these attacks. that s what it is, you know. like who? propublica. propublica gets a lot of money and they have spent a fortune investigating clarence thomas for example. have you spent a fortune or are these ideological attacks? it was frankly disturbing to hear this because it was speculation based on no evidence. as one of the two or three reporters who did this work i tell you how it started, which was not a report on justice thomas and alito. we will report on how supreme court justices are spending their time when they are not at the court. it started with a stack of documents of travel records with no names and we pieced together that it is justice thomas taking private jets. we took a hard look at democratic appointed justices and simply found nothing equivalent. if we could put up that bar chart for a second, it is hard to find the signal for the noise in that chart. it takes a lot of energy to uncover that one on the left. right, if somebody out there knows about george soros funding trips, i would love to report it. you can find my contact information on all of our stories. thank you. coming up, as the supreme court rejects the attempt to ban the abortion pill, why the right wing is just getting started on reproductive rights. next. nuggets. impossible. we re solving the meat problem with more meat. when we say it ll be on time they expect it to be on time. turn shipping to your advantage. keep those expectations with reliable ground shipping. thanks brandon. with usps ground advantage®. my name is marie. i m 49 years old and i m a business owner. i own a lemonade and ice cream shop in florida, so i can feel and see that my lines have gotten deeper just from a year out in the sun. i m still marie and i got botox® cosmetic. i did not want a dramatic change. i wanted something subtle. and i m really, really happy with the results. it s still me, but with fewer lines. botox® cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow s feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping, and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications, including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. see for yourself at botoxcosmetic.com. on your period, sudden gushes happen. say goodbye gush fears! thanks to always ultra thins. with rapiddry technology. that absorbs two times faster. hellooo clean and comfortable. always. fear no gush. they say we should stop eating so much meat. so we made meat out of plants. because we aren t quitters. impossible. we re solving the meat problem with more meat. today the supreme court unanimously rejected an attempt to limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone and that, i should say, is definitely good. mifepristone is used in more than 60% of all abortions in this country, as well as the treatment of miscarriages. it should remain easily accessible, but this case should not have made its way to the supreme court in the first place. it is shocking that it did. the case is based on faulty legal logic and was first introduced by a conservative group in amarillo, texas. incorporated there so they could file the case and ensure it would land before a hard right activist appointed to the bench by donald trump. predictably the pan plan worked. issued a nationwide injunction. the decision was mostly upheld by the court of appeals. that court of appeals is arguably the most radically right wing pro trump court in the land. the supreme court threw it out today because plaintiffs lacked standing and the entire ruse was too ridiculous even for this court. make no mistake, republicans may have lost this battle, but they are still fighting the war. it is all but certain that they will bring a similar suit again and will absolutely do so given the opportunity. they don t want to stop there. today senate republicans blocked a bill enshrining protections for ivf only a day after the southern baptist convention, the largest protestant this domination days protestant denomination in the country voted to condemn the procedure. the republican party and grassroots of the party truly believe in this. they are not going to stop there crow seed against stop there crusade against reproductive rights. joining me now is nbc legal correspondent lisa rubin. i guess let s start with the decision today which was not surprising. they kicked it on what are called standing grounds. what does that mean? standing is the notion that you have to be a person who has been injured to maintain a lawsuit. it goes back to the concept that the courts can only hear cases or controversies, not imagined grievances. what the court is saying is that the alliance for defending freedom did not have standing to bring their suit and there are a couple of lines. in one place justice kavanaugh says an organization that has not suffered a concrete injury caused by a defendant s action cannot spend its way into s standing by spending money together information and advocate against the defendant, meaning the food and drug administration s action. that is the good part of this. but as you noted, there are little easter eggs sprinkled throughout this decision that are sort of gifts to the antiabortion right. in large part because of one side can t have standing, the other can t either. one of the things this says is that doctors should not presume that they will have standing to advocate for their patients. that usually means something very different for pro-abortion doctors than it does on the anti-choice side. that s a great point. i want to read the standing argument the plaintiffs presented, because it is one of my favorites. this is from the initial, i don t think of this is the scotus brief or district court. doctors lose the opportunity to provide professional services and care for the women and child through pregnancy which causes harms to providers who can no longer care for their patients and bring about the successful delivery of a new life. you deprive me of the joy of delivering your baby, which is a tangible harm to me, ergo i have standing. the standing analysis survived the district court and survived the fifth circuit court of appeals. it is kind of galling and there is a twist on that argument, too. you deprive me of the ability to care for more deserving patients, the women who want to deliver their children as opposed to women who present in the emergency room having had a complication. hypothetically, to be clear. that hypothetically might do so. when i am forced to divert my attention from deserving woman a, to take care of you, morally bankrupt woman b. you can do this through the courts or through the department of justice if you have the teeth to do it. here is justice samuel alito talking about, he does not say the name, interestingly. he just reads the u.s. section and the solicitor general of the united states does say the name. listen. shouldn t the fda at least have considered the application i think the comstock provisions don t fall within fda s lane. the comstock laws, those are passed in the victorian era to outlaw basically all tools for abortion and birth control. and really sending them between states. if you want to talk about zombie laws and we have talked about them a lot on your show and others. these are statutes prohibiting abortion or things that allow people to achieve abortion. it was a zombie law and it was understood for many decades that the comstock law had no effect. why? because row was in existence. the biden administration has made clear they don t believe the comstock act needs to be enforced unless the intent is to help somebody accomplish something that would be unlawful and given the mail order prescription of mifepristone is lawful, then the interpretation is there is nothing to be done. a different administration however, you can count on the same sorts of folks to press that heavily with the department of justice. and i want to be clear. there are criminal penalties attached to the comstock laws. the department of justice could conceivably on day one start having the fbi arrest people and prosecute people for mailing abortion drugs. they may not even have to go that far. i think the lesson is that you can terrorize people into not doing anything just by having a law and having the threat out there that somebody could be criminally prosecuted for doing something. the comstock act, this is not a hypothetical. there are lots of folks in right-wing circles writing about and talking about this. lisa rubin, thank you. thank you. that is all in on this thursday night. alex wagner starts now. good evening. there are women already terrified making choices about bodily economy. certainly. fear at all levels of american society. thank you, my friend. today donald trump made his first visit to capitol hill. the first time since his followers ransacked the capital on january 6. to unde
