against florida governor, ron desantis. he tried to stop him from making matters worse. it is not the only lawsuit that the florida governor is facing. how much legal trouble is he in? later, another trump rally, another not to qanon. we will show you what happened when trump took the stage last night in north carolina. it is what appears to be the ramping up of his support for the far-right conspiracy theory. all of that and more is coming up. and a good saturday morning to you. i am katie fang. the january six committee just scored a legal victory in its investigation of the so-called, alternate electors. we re just a few days away from the committees next and potentially final public hearing. we begin our morning with msnbc capitol hill correspondent allie raffa, with the latest live for us in washington d.c.. good morning allie. good morning katie. yeah, the general six committee says that it s next. and the numbers are containing, probably last year, our convening on w
smart. and we hope that it doesn t come to the most extreme but we need to be ready for it to be that. again that was the mayor of halifax. nova scotia. and this morning we talked about the hurricane making its way towards florida and we just want to reiterate. we talk to also the historic nation of. this storm in canada. these stories don t make the way this far north. because there s water. and that s what s weakening those storms. but now we have warmer waters, these storms are retaining their strength as they track north. here in canada. it brings them to what they now believe is this new normal. kate? maggie, live in the halifax, nova scotia. thank you so much. later this hour? attention at any cost? donald trump has gone from winking at qanon to openly a bracing it. whether he s being strategic, or clueless, it is hard to say. but experts say that one thing
mar-a-lago. that they then purportedly took out and are using against him. you know barb, at the rally that he did last night. trump called the investigations, quote, a witch hunt. we ve heard that one before. a torment, a little bit new. and several other things. but interesting lee, he didn t talk about how he declassified documents. in his mind or otherwise. did nor did he make any suggestions about plant of evidence. barb, how hard do you think trump s legal team. the mar-a-lago legal team. is working behind the scenes right now to try to control what he is saying publicly. because there is a serious legal consequence for what he puts out there publicly. absolutely kate. anything that he says publicly can be used against him later. i imagine that his lawyers, like all the lawyers before them. have urged him not to speak about a pending case. but it seems that he can t help himself. and also, it is part of his strategy. to simply generate enough outrage that he can win the day. an
republicans raising questions, all over whether cruz could face a legal challenge. he was born in canada but his mother was a u.s. citizen. trump told wolf blitzer that cruz s birthplace raises constitutional concerns. there s this doubt. people have doubt. you know, i want to win this thing fair and square. i don t want to win on this point. reporter: john mccain once calling him a wacko bird. mccain himself was born outside of the united states and was quick to distance his case from cruz s, as he was born on a military base. i m not a constitutional scholar on that but i think it s worth looking into. reporter: in iowa, cruz brushed away trump s comments. it s no surprise that they are going to jump on with the silly attacks as we get closer to election day. reporter: cruz, one of trump s biggest threats, says
contenders, including ted cruz, who sent an e-mail to supporters that said, obama wants your guns . this is the most antigun president we ve ever seen. reporter: the white house accused cruz of stirring up trouble. it veers into the territory of being irresponsible. reporter: house speaker paul ryan wouldn t go as far as cruz. i think he s been hostile with the second amendment all along. i don t think the president has a lot of respect for the second amendment. reporter: but aides to the president say ryan once sounded receptive two years ago when asked by the milwaukee journal sentinel. i think we need to do it in a way that we don t infringe upon people s second amendment rights. reporter: jonathan turley said mr. obama s new actions are modest and fall far short of a gun draft. gun owners shouldn t view
