now it's time for the last word with ayman mohyeldin, in for lawrence. good evening, my friend. >> alex, it's good to see. here i was gonna say quickly, i don't think republicans have any more red lines when they talk about how the field candidates. anything goes when you talk about these republicans. >> nonetheless, jarred majeski doesn't have access to -- i'm sure democrats in ohio celebrating. >> we'll see how that turns. out alex, it's good to see my. friend thank you so. much we're gonna talk about democracy tonight because the r of history is long, but it bends towards justice, and it's good to remember that quote tonight because there have been many days in recent memory that it has not felt like we are bending towards justice. joe biden wins an election, donald trump and republicans just can't claim he didn't. trump incites an insurrection at the capitol, five weeks later, he's acquitted by republican senators.

in may, it is reported that the wife of the longest serving supreme court justice is encouraging republicans to overthrow the election. and nothing happens. next month, clarence thomas votes to take away constitutional right, the right-wing project of the last decades, it's achieved, donald trump walks off from what he brought to one of his golf courses. it doesn't feel so just. it's frustrating. but tonight, the justice department has the classified documents seized from donald trump's phone, and the criminal investigation is ongoing after a panel of three federal judges for appeals court including to trump appointed judges are having a full spectrum of the trump's lawyers case. today, special master judge robert gary is asking the lawyers to stay on the record. what they contend the appear planted in trump's home? >> the problem that you have is they go into rooms, they will not even allow them in the same building. they drop anything into those piles?

or did they do it later? there's no chain of custody here with them. >> so trump is actually learning that american courtrooms, they are not like fox programs. he can't just flood the zone with lies and in the window and nonsense and expect to get away with it. in the order judge dearie gives trump's lawyers next friday to provide evidence for those false claims made that donald trump himself. in the january 6th committee that is watched by tens of millions of people have secured an interview with justice thomas's wife ginni about her reported involvement in efforts to overturn our election. the committee has sought an interview with her since june. specifically about her interactions with trump allies mark meadows and john eastman. there will be another january six hearing next week ahead of the committee's full report. and possibly a criminal referral for the former president. the guy who thought it was cool

to dress like hitler and verbally assault capitol hill police officers, he's had for four years in a federal prison. also, by a trump appointed judge. i don't mention trump judges here to say that makes them somehow more virtuous. no, it shows the system is actually working. the institutions of this country is working. they took oaths to uphold the law to -- they're doing that even when donald trump has and still is at every turn indicating that he thinks laws and truth, an honor, are for suckers. donald trump praises vladimir putin for his strength and mirage created by state run media, security thugs, but tonight, in russia, russians are saying, we don't want to die in your war on ukraine.

it is easy to scare people into submission, until they think you will kill them or kill their children anyway. and then they say, enough. what do i have to lose? in iran, a woman died after being arrested by the morality police for what she was wearing, and tonight, iranians are saying enough. as we look at these pictures from russia, and iran, as we think about the ideals that ukrainians are fighting for, being tortured and killed four, we know how much we have in our democracy, however imperfect, and how much it's worth fighting to protect every day. leading off our discussion tonight is michael beschloss,

presidential historian, joan wine-banks who served as assistant watergate prosecutor, and -- former federal prosecutor. they are both msnbc legal analysts. it's good to have all three of you with us. michael, i think you're the perfect person to start on with this because as i was, you're the historian here, you give us a sense of how this arc of history is bending. can you tell us in your assessment of how we are doing on that arc of history tonight? >> absolutely, i would be happy to. i hope you don't mind my starting, ayman, by noting my friends jill and paul, the three of us are all from chicago. so tonight we're hearing the voices of mid america, i think my friends will agree. and having that said, i think democracy is more in danger than it has been since 1860, at the beginning of the civil war. late 1930s when this country was in danger of fascist leaders and politicians, and fascism abroad. hitler, i'm selina, in japanese, but at the same time, i agree with what you said at the beginning. let's take a victory lap tonight. this is an evening that we can take one breath before i go to the flight of democracy and why it's necessary. but we have to have faith that there's a majority that loves

democracy and loves the rule of law, and loves real free, and fair elections, will not be denied that by an angry minority ever. and we are seeing that in a certain way in russia, we are seeing that in the run, as you mentioned, and we are also seeing it in the united states. sometimes, it takes our system awhile to rally, but look at donald trump, for instance. you mention. not a great 24 hours for him, which i would like to celebrate personally tonight. this is someone who not only has this lawsuit in new york by the new york attorney general listen to the offense as she listed those are astounding, i never heard of any president in the united states being accused as of something as bad as that. and that is just won the election. he will be liable for legal actions most probably in connection with may 11th and

classified documents case, and in georgia, a state that you know well, ayman, and a couple of other cases. and all i'm saying is, those who do not want trump to run in 2024, which, i think would safely say includes the four of us here, would say that that is not going to happen because his base is going to be disgusted by the stuff. they are not discussed by anything. but, if you have a man in not great health like donald trump who now has to face perhaps a four or five front legal war, i don't see how someone could do that in one professor. the success of this democracy depends on independent judges. and the judges in trump's case, other than judge cannon, who uphold the laws in the institution, seem to have no time for donald trump's games. what do you make of the way these judges have been ruling and speaking out about the

actions of the former president? >> first, a, man shout out to my home boy, michael, and my home girl, jill. in the house. >> same here. -- socks. >> donald trump has had a terrible, no, good bad week and the rule of law is having a really good week. the same special master that trump's elected to review the mar-a-lago documents ruled against him, and to judges the trump appointed took down his arguments expeditiously and forcefully. so, these judges are doing what judges are supposed to do. i think of that joke about men get credit for taking care of their children, chris rock says, you're supposed to take care of

your children. and if you're a federal judge, you're supposed to uphold the rule of law. and the reality is, most coaches have actually been doing that in the supreme court decision, justice thomas was the only justice to vote that trump would have to turn over certain documents to investigated. even justices that trump appointed are disagree with that. and the many cases that, throughout the insurrection, and the fake elector scheme, judges who trump appointed have consistently ruled against him. >> jill, you've had a front row seat at the nixon

administration. and often trump's compared to nixon. but i think he's far more egregious in terms of what he's done to the country, to democracy, and the rule of law. what was the mixing tipping point, and have we reached up with donald trump? i think a lot of people are watching this with a sense of frustration that over the last several years, all of the legal machinations that have come against donald trump for what people rightfully believed to have been violations of the law have not materialized in a meaningful, punitive way. >> i think people are upset about that. and want to see some accountability. and won't settle for anything less than that. the differences, now we live in

a world with alternative facts. and alternative reality. during watergate, all of the networks at the state facts. everyone agreed on it. it was bipartisan shift. those things are very much missing now. so you do have a group of people who were continue to believe the falsehoods that are being spewed by the republican party. not just by trump, but by all of his colleagues. and that is a danger to democracy that i don't think we ever faced during the nixon administration. that's what i am worried about. i'm also worried about what i've seen most judges have upheld the rule of law, and by not historians, i've lived through historic times. i remember when judges were always viewed as independent, neutral arbiters of facts and law. and now we have a supreme court where no one, i should say no one, but many people do not believe that they are neutral arbiters. that they have determined the outcomes they want, and are issuing decisions that go along with that. and there is one decision that is coming up in the next term that i want to point out because the independent state legislature theory, and that is very scary to me. that is the end of what we know as democracy if that case is decided in a certain way. it means that states can do anything they want, and there's no review of it. and that they can say, well we want this candidate for president. i don't care what the popular vote was. people should be really paying attention to the supreme court, and to that particular case, i am very concerned about it. >> i think it was the cornerstone of the john eastman argument which is, that the state legislators decide who wins the elections and forget the people in the votes. michael, let me pick up on

something that jill talked about which was this sense of bipartisanship because the facts were so apparent in the nixon era that republican said to nixon, it's time for you to go. is there a political tipping point in modern america? when will republicans decide to stop paying trump's legal bills and move the party away from him or is that not likely to happen in this current climate? it >> hasn't happened yet. and it just breaks my heart to think that a lot of people, many with very good intentions, gave money to donald trump's funds with the idea that this would go to his political works. and apparently, from recent reporting, it's been used according to one report to pay his wife's clothing designer $18,000 a month. that's money from hardworking people, and hollowed out industrial towns, for instance, in the midwest. the three of us know about extremely well. so there's a tolerance if there never was for nixon. and the other thing is, i'm

saying the obvious, there's a median viral meant now that if you are someone who can think that donald trump's wonderful and has done nothing wrong, and that he really won the 2020 election, and all sorts of other things that are not true, you can watch the whole day watching cable channels and websites that do the same, and i would tell you if richard nixon had committed the same offenses that jill and her colleagues went after him justifiably so in 73 and 74, i think republicans would not be against him in congress, and he would've beaten the wrap and served eight years and that is a horrifying fault.

>> it's to -- on behalf of the president, the platform they gave him last night. paul, i want to ask you really quickly about something that the new york attorney general letitia james said yesterday about her lawsuits against donald trump and his children and business, take a look at this. >> we will leave the conduct in this -- also violates federal law, including issuing false statements to financial institutions and bank fraud. >> what do you make of that, paul? what do you make of the tish james's move to essentially refer trump to the sdny and the irs? >> i think it's important, although i think they would've had access to a lot of the same information that the new york attorney general has. she has an easier case to make and the several litigation. so there's a lower standard of proof. and there's another thing that federal prosecutors have to decide is that these many

criminal investigations that are swirling around the former president, the insurrection, the fake elector scheme, the classified documents at mar-a-lago, where does this new information come in? since it mainly involves trump 's conduct before he was president, i think that it's likely in terms of a criminal prosecution, to take up backburner to his attempt to overturn our democracy. and we still don't know what in the world he was doing with those classified documents. of course, he hasn't offered any proof that he what he was doing was illegal. >> let me ask you about that, really quickly, general, because not that the appeals

court has overturned kenneth's favorite to appeal trump, and some might argue that trump confessed to having the classified documents in that bizarre interview he gave fox news yesterday and -- what are the next steps in the special master's examination of the classified documents? >> i think it's remarkable that both the 11th circuit which acted with great speed, and the special master, are taking no baloney from the trump team. they have made it very clear the facts are facts. and i think what is going to happen next is there is going to be a quick turnaround on the special master. no one is going to accept that they can't say whether he declassified anything. but even if he did, the court has made it clear, it doesn't matter. because the crimes he's accused of don't require that they be classified. they have national security

information in them. that alone makes it enough. so he can't have his cake and needed to, as the court basically said. he has to come forth with evidence, or it will be soon that they are classified information, and he has no right to them. so the department of justice is not going forward with both a criminal case while the intelligence communities going forward with a risk assessment, of what harm might have come from these. i just keep hoping that even the republicans who support him will start to see the dangers he poses to this country. not just our democracy, but our security. and that they too will get to the point that republicans got to with nixon, as you pointed out, it was republicans who went to him and said, we see the special prosecutor's evidence, you are guilty, and you will be convicted in an impeachment trial if you don't resign. and he resigned. >> our all-star panel, thank you for starting us off tonight, michael beschloss, jill whitehouse banks, paul, butler thank. you know republicans are sponsoring a federal law that will ban all abortions in every state, and, yes that means deep

37 days before he introduced them. >> i've been consistent. i think states to decide issues of marriage, and states should decide issue of abortion. i have respect for south carolina. south carolina voters here i trust to define marriage and to deal with the issue of abortion. >> i think we should have a law at the federal level that will say, after 15 weeks, no abortion on demand. >> among the 90 house republican sponsoring this is ted budd, running for north carolina's open senate seat. his democratic opponent is cheri beasley who joins us live. she's the former chief justice of the north carolina supreme court. thank you for joining us. your opponent is generally against abortion access, he even called abortions in cases

of rape or incest, and these are his words, not, mine a second tragedy turn already tough situation. how central has the issue of abortion become to this specific race? >> amen, it is central. congress but has aligned himself to the most extreme faction of his party, and is completely out of step with where people are in north carolina. he doesn't believe in exceptions to rape or incest. but what does that mean? women who have ectopic pregnancies, who have -- universities, who can pass the miscarriages, won't be able to get the treatment they need. and it also means that women will die. this is completely unacceptable. i've been a judge for over two decades. i've served as chief justice of the north carolina supreme court.

and what i know is women have had the reproductive constitutional right to make these decisions without government interference and with their doctors. but not with ted budd interfering in this very personal decision. >> other republicans are having a tough time navigating this issue. in fact, earlier this week, i talked to former democratic max rose who is running for congress again. i will play for you what he told me about this. listen. >> if you look at my election on staten island, my opponent, congresswoman nikole merrick tuck his has been unwilling to state her position on the lindsey graham nationwide abortion ban. after she claimed that she wasn't aware of the bill. she said i want to have it delivered to my office. so a constituent delivered to her office. and she still has not expressed her position on it. and unfortunately, she and so many other members of congress on the republican party are unwilling to do the courageous thing. and side with the majority. >> why is the republican party, you, thanks so rigid on this? >> i don't have an answer for

that, but what i do know is this position with ted budd is completely out of step with the majority of net carolinians are and north americans. and what we know is honestly this position is really dangerous. and we know the women will die. if elections in the senate, i will fight hard to make roe v. wade the law. it will be -- we need to be there. >> nbc news, miss beasley is reporting that an abortion ban like the one that lindsey graham has proposed would likely force many patients to undergo invasive trans virginia ultrasounds before terminating pregnancies, doctors would be on the hook to as patients about the timing of their pregnancies and perform or cause to perform such medical examinations and tests as needed to make an accurate determination of just a chanel h.. what do you say to that and what this means to warm itself if this was passed? >> i think this is a violation -- i know it's a violation of

reproductive freedom. and i know that there's absolutely no way for any politician to include ted budd knows the specifics of any woman's particular situation. that's why it's important that only the woman and a doctor, and not congressman ted budd, be in the examination room. while these complicated decisions are made. and i would ask your viewers, for more information on my race to go to cheri bc. com. >> all right, cheri beasley, thank you for chiming joining us tonight. i appreciate it. as we mentioned earlier, russian citizens are turning on putin's announced plans to draft 300,000 russians to bring into his faltering war. next.

i have seen this week. just in the last few days, was the new draft. i think it does show in, the reaction of ukrainian officials -- i mean, you remember, you just alluded to this, that ukraine was supposed to be the country that russia could conquer and dominate in a matter of days -- american intelligence services, it was certainly what the russian intelligence services were telling president putin. and now, what he is hearing from ukrainian officials is basically, come at me. their reaction to this announcement from putin that he is going to draft 300,000 russian conscripts into the military in order to continue waging this war -- the ukrainians have shrugged it off. i have been amazed, in my conversations, with aides to president zelenskyy, just how calm they are about it, including in the military.

they say this is not going to change, fundamentally, the situation on the ground. the best it will allow putin to do is to try to cling on to the territories that he has occupied in the last months and then slow down the kinds of counteroffensives that we have seen ukrainians pursue in the last weeks. >> let me pick up on what you said about the weakness of vladimir putin, based on what you have been reporting, and as you mentioned you have reported on him for 15 years. you know, you can clearly see at least at the un, russia is isolated. putin has cemented his status as a persona non grata on the world stage. and now, you are saying he is weekend, but he has also made these veiled nuclear threats, which are rightfully being condemned by nato and everyone else in the world. but what are your sources telling you about his possible next moves? and based on your reporting, given that he is a weekend, what might that mean? >> my reporting most recently has been on the ukrainian side. my most since most recent trip was to kyiv -- i've stayed in close touch with president zelenskyy's team. and their reaction to the nuclear threats is also fairly mild. first of all, they don't

believe that he would go there. but their response is, if he does, it will also not change the dynamic. because ukraine will continue to fight as one very senior military official told, me to the last drop of blood necessary. and even the use of a tactical nuclear weapon in ukraine, if putin goes there, will not stop ukraine from continuing to defend itself. what it will do is, most likely, call us an even more serious reaction from the west. it is hard to game out exactly the steps that the u.s. and nato will take. it depends on how much of that kind of attack affects nato territory, for example, poland. these are the realistic kinds of scenarios we have to think about when putin is making these threats. but in kyiv, their policy and their stance is basically, keep calm and carry on. they are continuing to pursue counteroffensives. one, the defence minister, just the other day, told me, we are going to continue reaching into

crimea, we are not gonna stop, we are not going to lay off. and they are not taking putin's threats as a sign that they need to curtail their military actions. >> but simon shuster, it's always a pleasure, thank so much for your morning, thanks so much for joining us this evening. coming up, jim jean odds of the, or women, life, freedom, that chant can be heard across around tonight, as thousands protest the death of a 22-year-old iranian kurdish woman in the custody of iran's -- iranian american journalist -- joins us next.

toward justice and fairness. >> how ironic, the death of mahsa amini was a direct result of laws that were put into place after these lawmakers of lucian in iran. where is the justice for mahsa amini's family. the courage of the women leading these protests cannot be overstated. see, we find ourselves at an inflection fight point in human history. in india, women are fighting against a states ban on women wearing hijabs. in iran, women are protesting the forced wearing of that very same head scarf. and here in the u.s., we know what republicans are doing to women. see, from iran, to india, to right here in america, women globally are fighting for their rights in the midst of this rising oppression. they are fighting for control of their bodies, from governments, ideologues and they are fighting for control of their bodies, from governments, ideologues and religious extremists.

and while that struggle takes on many different forms, we must recognize the fight for women's rights is universal. and we must stand up for these rights here at home. -- joining me now -- is iranian merica journalist and analyst. she's host of the -- it's great to have you -- must amin's father -- told bbc news that iran is lying when they say mahsa amini 's health problems contributed to her death, saying in part, quote, she never had any medical conditions, she never had surgery. what more can you tell us about the circumstances that we know or the families alleging about mahsa amini's death? >> ayman mohyeldin, we know that mahsa amini was stopped when -- she got off the metro -- and taken to a station. there is an edited video that -- the police forces, essentially

alleging that they did not do or commit any violence. but what angers people is that they have time and again seen the violence of the morality police in past instances, video after video, images of women being violently and brutally arrested, thrown into police vans and taken to -- so, even though we may not know the exact circumstances of what led to that exact moment of her death, the fact is that she died in the custody of a force that has been violent to women many times before. and i think it's anger of women that has been building up, because they see themselves in mahsa amini. men see their own sisters in mahsa amini. -- coming out saying, this could be us, this could be any of us, and this could have happened to any of us. i think that is the kind of outpouring of anger that we are seeing in the sympathy and solidarity by the protesters.

>> let me ask you about where this goes from here. because during a news conference today, president raisi when that acts of chaos are unacceptable. and we all remember what happened three years ago. 300 people were killed in iran 's last major protest movement. how are iranians responding to that rhetoric? what do you think this movement goes from here? . he >> around in women, what's incredible, is that you see a lot of women leading these protests, very symbolic images of essentially women coming out, asking for their basic rights and dignity, to be treated like equal citizens. it's this image of the bravery and courage of these young women. and is it is incredible at -- the same time, we have seen in past years that the state is willing to use violence to crack down on protests in 2019, especially, brought down an iron fist to crack down and as a call wrap up the protests.

so, with internet disruption, with the violent images we are seeing, i am afraid we are going down that path. so, i would be surprised to see even more violence on the streets as they are trying to minimize the protests across iran. >> absolutely. a scary thought, given what we have seen in the past, and what this regime has shown it is capable of. negar mortazavi, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up, what is motivating that latino votes here at home? paulo ramos went to texas to investigate. she joins us next.

campaign, do you think you were also able to garner the support of democrats? >> i would not have one if i would not have had support from democrats. >> that's my raw flores now, i should say, congressman congresswoman, mira flores -- it was in texas. and i'm probably wondering if we've got your attention yet, because congresswoman flores was born in mexico. her parents were migrant farm workers who came to the united states when she was just six years old. she became a u.s. citizen at the age of 14 and hair political stories this. her parents were democrats. she supported president obama as did most voters in her district, that runs up from brownsville on the u.s. mexico border all the way to east of san antonio. and now, she loves donald trump. she has blamed the january 6th attack on antifa and she has

doubled in q1 on. >> -- included hashtags for qanon. i'm just wondering where you come down on that whole qanon thing. >> i will say it over and over. it was a hashtag. washington wants us to focus on nonsense. i'm focused on the issues. >> but congresswoman mayra flores is not the story here. the story here are the people, many of them, hispanic voters, and is once reliably blue district in texas, who actually turned out and voted for her. and that is what my colleague, paulo ramos, went to investigated. -- vice news shows an msnbc contributor to special -- feels -- paulo ramos airs -- it's great to have you.

it's great to see you in person. i want to start with you. you know the obama campaign very well. you know the machinations behind what these voters were thinking in 2008 and they flipped and voted for trump in 2016. tell me about that mindset and what you learned about the so-called obama trump voter. >> yeah, i think the big picture is that in 2020, we have to remember that donald trump won seven out of the 14 counties along the u.s. mexico border. he was able to flip two of them and, as you saw, he make significant inroads in the place like the rio grande valley. here is someone like mayra flores. she bets on this idea that latinos, at our core, and in our hearts, and in our, souls are latinas are naturally more aligned in the republican party. that -- that's why her conservative -- got the family, and country. she bet on that on, that idea, and it worked a. worked also because it wasn't a white old man telling the -- to vote for them. it was a latina and an immigrant. someone who could speak in spanish, and when you combine her message and the messenger, it worked. she won a district that joe biden won by four points. she won by almost twice as

much. >> so, her slogan was about god, country i. want to play this clip from your program about faith and then i will ask you about, where religion fits into all of this. >> eight out of ten times if a latina is being outreach through the church, more than, likely believe in some of the conservative platforms. so it's much easier for them to get out and vote republican. so, republicans don't start strategizing the latino pastors and churches like democrats every year with a black church -- there will be no victory for conservative candidates across the country. >> all right, so first, is this more a traditional catholic church? i think most people would think of it as the traditional catholic church. or are we talking evangelical christian? >> it's like evangelicals. the big picture is that latinos are the fastest growing group of evangelicals in the united states. in this moment there are more latina pas you>> will 1 i think most people would think of it as the traditional catholic church. or are we talking evangelical christian? >> it's like evangelicals. the big picture is that latinos are the fastest growing group of evangelicals in the united states. in this moment there are more latina pastors opening churches that then it any other time. more things are leading with catholicism -- and so, the republicans are politicizing that movement. they are understanding that if you go to these evangelical churches and you do, in their eyes, and in their view, what

democrats have been doing in black churches, that is a motto that's not only can work in the rio grande valley. but it can work in the across the country -- >> will say what happens on that front. the lemay ask you really quickly. we had talked about a lot about disinformation on this program and elsewhere. spanish language disinformation during covid was ripe. i think a lot of people saw. do you see based on your reporting similar streams of disinformation in the spanish deng which -- >> always. . i always remember this. when with we think that big tech does a bad job at flagging information in english imagine what it is in spanish. i think there's multiple studies out there that prove that facebook flags around 30% of misinformation in spanish compared to -- >> wow. we saw effects in a place like florida which was -- you can see the same narrative in a place like texas. so, missing disinformation is

everywhere. it seems everywhere. >> the cnn france to try to tackle? it i mean. yes. there's a lot of lessons from 2016 in 2020. you see a lot more outreach in spanish but it is not enough. >> all right, paola ramos, thank you so much. the report, i should note, airs tomorrow night at 10 pm. make sure to catch that right here on msnbc. that is tonight's last word. the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts right now. 4 investigation special master tells the trump team to show proof of his outlandish conspiracies about the fbi. so far, they have said nothing. then, the enormous financial pressure on the former president, his family, and he's company. trump's argument? it is up to you to prove he is not lying. plus, the fleecing of america.
