and when to do it. [noise] they re trying to silence me. and, more importantly, they are trying to silence you. but we will not be silenced, right? all right, as coming as we await to the judge s ruling on whether a special master will in fact be appointed in the case. we ll have the latest on the trump investigation ahead as well. but we begin with that history making win for democrats in the state of alaska, pretty aesthetic to say the least. a lot of folks surprised by. it mary peltola won the election for alaska s lone house, heat being the first native alaskan to serve in the house or the first democrat to win that seat in nearly 50 years. she defeated sarah palin and another republican challenger in the debut of the states rank choice voting system. she will face both again in just two months time, on election day. to hold on to that seat congresswoman-elect mary peltola is joining me now. thank you so much for joining us, congresswoman. let s start there, which is yo
mary peltola who takes her seat in congress tomorrow, joins me tonight. we begin on the 60th anniversary of john f. kennedy s historic moonshot speech announcing his goal of putting a man on the moon and bringing him home. today, president joe biden announced new steps in his own moonshot vision, ending cancer as we know it, a cause he s truly passionate about since the passing of his son beau. we face another inflection point, and together, we can choose to move forward with unity, hope, and optimism. i believe we can usher in the same unwillingness to postpone, the same nation purpose that will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. to end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all. and while biden was busy presidenting, his predecessor surprised everyone today, returning to d.c. looking a bit disheveled, apparently to play golf at his course in virginia. the golfing field trip comes as donald trump s legal team is doubling
from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. welcome, everyone, to alex witt reports. we begin this hour with new developments from the fallout from the fbi search of mar-a-lago. a federal judge in florida is now signaling that she is inclined to grant a request from donald trump s lawyers to appoint a special master in the case. the hearing is set for thursday. a new reaction today after the director of national children s told chalk lawmakers in the house oversight intelligence committees that her office would conduct a risk assessment of republican mar-a-lago materials. democratic lawmakers in both chambers of congress expressed concerns over the former president s handling of documents. the thought that he had put our national security, and those who serve to protect us at such risk is extraordinary. i m deeply alarmed at what we are learning. it is not about whether donald trump broke the law, but that he could be putting our national security at risk, he could be
extremismes that threatens the very foundation of our republic. there s no question that the republican party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by donald trump and the maga republicans. and that is a threat to this country. maga republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. they refuse to accept the results of a free election. and promote authoritarian leadersor and flame the threatsf violence and a threat to our personal right, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law torque the very soul of this country. they look at the mob that stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, rudely attacking law enforcement, not as insurrection nists but place a dagger at the throat of our democracy and they look at them as patriots and see the maga failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the election as preparation for the 2022 and fo2024 elections, and now, america must choose
self-righteous as session above the people that she was elected to serve, the people that are elected are public servants. in many ways she showed utter contempt of the people in her own state and they did not like it one bit. and oddly this led congresswoman cheney to align with the very same democrats, i find this the oddest thing of all who called her own father a war criminal. look at what they did to scooter libby, his chief of staff, called her father a murderer, a crook for working on halliburton. the very same people that smeared her family for decades, and then there were people like myself who defended her father and people like scooter libby and we are now just dismissed as unethical without any principle, values whatsoever. would clearly rather have joe biden and democrats in charge of the country with all of their destructive policies, it is more dangerous than ever. instead of donald trump. the people of wyoming disagree with her and the numbers, they speak for
