neal katyal reached into the hamilton bag. i'll reach into classic seinfeld and when george is so upset with the clown at the birthday party, he's asking about bozo. the clown says i do my own clown work. i don't know about bozo. this offends george and it leads to a climax where the clown tells george off. what is your problem? you're hung up on some clown from the '60s, man. yes, we get the fund-raising, but how can you be a strong leader of a party when you are obsessing over this past loss when people do deep down -- i get the polling that people believe it's stolen. deep down they know what happened, they do know he lost and they do know biden is president. >> so, ari, this is really my concern going into 2022. there are republicans like kay ivey, like ted cruz who know the truth, mo brooks. they know the truth. they know joe biden won the election. they saw the numbers. they've made private phone calls. they know what these secretaries of states, republicans and democrats have said. they're just liars. they're doing what

neal katyal, jacqueline alemany, a. b. stoddard, what a great panel to start us off. thank you. coming up, we're going to ask general barry mccaffrey about the $800 million in weaponry heading to ukraine. can these newly built tactical ghost drones make a big difference in this fight? then later, president obama's powerful message on fighting disinformation. why he says every american is facing a critical choice for the future of democracy. the 11th hour. just getting underway on a thursday night. pe 2 diabetes... ...and heart risk. we're working up a sweat before coffee. and saying, “no thanks...” ...to a boston cream. jardiance is a once-daily pill that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and jardiance lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including... ...dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening bacterial infection

leading off our discussion tonight is neal katyal, who served as -- the department of justice. he is an msnbc legal contributor. and neil, let's work backwards through this series of stories. first of all, the defense, donald trump made me do it, for a january 6th capitol insurrectionist who among other things was in the senate parliamentarian's office and stole a co-track. >> i think first it is important to take a step back and look at all of the individuals we mentioned. because the contrast really underscores something it goes to show you that lofty government positions do not make it better at seeing reality, and seeing the truth. dustin thompson is just an ordinary guy. he sees what's so many of us see. donald trump prevented would happen on january six. trump used -- for his own selfish, evil, and anti-democratic and. then you look at the fancy guys, the mar-a-lago crowd, the giuliani, as the meadows, all of these people you mentioned, none of them can see it. none of them can see the truth. so i think that it is not often that you hear defense lawyers opening statements

neal katyal, jacqueline alemany, a. b. stoddard, what a great panel to start us off. thank you. coming up, we're going to at asked general barry mccaffrey about $800 million in weaponry heading to ukraine. can these newly built tactical ghost drones make a big difference in this fight? then later, president obama's powerful message on fighting disinformation. why he says every american is facing a critical choice for the future of democracy. the 11th hour. just getting underway on a thursday night. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. as a main street bank, pnc has helped over 7 million kids develop their passion for learning through our grow up great initiative. and now, we're providing billions of dollars for affordable home lending programs... as part of 88 billion to support underserved communities... including loans for small businesses in low and moderate income areas. so everyone has a chance to move forward financially. pnc bank: see how we can make a differe

and legal analyst neal katyal is back and jason johnson is here journalism and professor at morgan state university and msnbc contributor. luke, take me through what your reporting today with your colleagues. >> sure. so we've been able to obtain a subpoena issued by the grand jury in d.c. and it does reveal some important avenues that they're looking into. one is so-called vips at the january 6 rally. they're requesting information from witnesses about these trump vips. the second is anyone in the executive or legislative branch who had anything to do with plans to disrupt or interfere with the january 6 vote of congress, the certification of joe biden's election before congress. and then the third is the scheme to use pro-trump electors or fake electors in states that were won by joe biden to actually vote for donald trump instead. and so those are huge topics. those are sprawling topics. so this investigation could potentially go anywhere. we don't know exactly where it is going or what the justice department will find. but we do know now from the subpoena exactly some very specific a

with that, let's dig in and bring in our experts tonight, msnbc contributors jackie allegheny, neal katyal department of justice veteran, and former acting solicitor general during the obama administration he has argued dozens of cases before the u. s. supreme court. and former u.s. attorney joyce vance, who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. jackie, today republicans gave kevin mccarthy a standing ovation. but fast forward, 8:00 tonight, fox news, matt gaetz giving him yet another beat down. so where does mccarthy stand tonight? >> yeah, therein lies the rub, steph. there is some sort of asymmetric imbalance here, which is that most of the members from the house gop conference, including house minority leader kevin mccarthy and house gop leadership, are really tired of the antics from the far-right of their party. but, and that was evidenced in that audio that leaked, and really over the course of the past years, mccarthy has struggled to keep the party together as these members have acted out time and time again. he's had to deal with some of the repercussions. but you don't see the

also with us former acting solicitor and legal adviser neal katyal is here and miles taylor is here. before we dive into the extraordinary content of the tapes we have to stop i think and not skip passed the fraud that's been perpetrated on this country at the direction of kevin mccarthy who saw trump's conduct as egregious as i do. as the three of you uncovered. in the reporting and analysis. the fraud perpetrated on the country as the leader of the republican party is one of the ghoulish things i have seen in politics, neal. >> was that to me? sorry. >> yes. >> so yes. i completely agree with you. mccarthy's probably sitting at home praying that marjorie taylor greene will say something insane for people to forget about what he did this weekend but i don't think it will work because this shows cowardice and the revelations show that the republican party was far more in it coming to january 6. we talked about mike lee. someone i had respect for and he looks like a secret coup plot jer the fraud on the country he's definitely part of it. he wasn't the only one and to me it's just so

joining us is betty woodruff swan and neal katyal is here. betsy, what do we know about the two developments? more documents and executive privilege denied. and some facetime with miller. >> we know that in recent months the committee just gotten inundated with documents that the white house counsel's office green lit to be sent over. just the volume is extraordinary and it is something that's unusual even by congressional investigation standards. they have to go through them with a solve basically. it is a ton of material and it is going to give them a lot, lot, lot of work to do. what we know about miller, of course, is that the chairman of the select committee has signaled a biggest thing to ask him about is the alternate electors scheme and the viewers are familiar with. the idea of sending sort of parallel electors to vote for trump instead of biden for the states that biden lawfully, definitely won. according to chairman thompson miller was part of the effort to organize this basically nationwide multistate project of getting people to
