growing cancer on our nation. right wing extremists now targeting the lbgtq community, and not just in idaho where 31 of them were unpacked from a u-haul and arrested, and the first polls are close right now in a south carolina primary as trump seeks revenge against two incumbent republicans. steve kornacki will join us from the big board. and first one of the big misconceptions from the trump presidency, that there were no adults in the room. that s not true. there were plenty of adults and couldn t contain him and didn t want to. the so-called adults are sharing what they really feel about trump s pursuit for power. we re talking about trump s closest allies, his own people narrating the case against him, star witnesses that included none other than attorney general william barr, a man who spent years defending and serving trump, not the american people, but who via video testimony had this to say about the president slize. bogus stuff and based on misinformation, idiot
. it s good to be back with you in this second hour of chris jansing reports. we have breaking news, a u.s. official and a diplomat in the region tell nbc news one american could be among the hostages released today. just moments ago, the red cross transported two former captives over the border as urgent talks continue to extend the truce in gaza, possibly by another two days. we re live in tel aviv with the latest. plus, hamas now claiming that three hostages, a ten-month old baby, his 4-year-old brother and their mom will not be coming home, and that all three were killed during the fighting. israel is still looking to confirm that. also ahead, we ll talk to the former director of the cia about the challenges of bringing the remaining hostages home with israel ready to return to combat at any given moment. then later, a set for the angels, the heart wrenching tribute for the young lives cut short at an israeli music festival. so much to get to in this hour, but i
legal consequences for that? ultimately. well, you know, i think donald trump will have his comeuppance. i think, you know, with dr. king, the arc of the moral universe long but it bends towards justticious and i think there will be justice for everyone who set these events into motion. i mean, people were killed. people died. we had an interruption of the counting of electoral college votes for the first time in american history. we had a violent assault on the peaceful transfer of power, destroying the peaceful part around interrupting the transfer of power for many hours. i mean, this was an unprecedented and extremely dangerous situation that could have led to anything from martial law to civil war. indeed. congressman james raskin, member of the january 6th committee, one of our favorite professors

orderly transition, and he said i don t i said i don t want to hear any other f ing words coming out of your mouth other than orderly transition. repeat those words to me. what did he say? eventually he said orderly transition. i said, good, john, now i ll give you the best free legal advice you re ever getting in your life. get a greatesting criminal defense lawyer. you re going to need it. and then i hung up on him. joining my know is congressman james raskin of maryland and member of the january 6th select commit. congressman, thanks fork here. interesting and definitive audio from mr. hershman. it seems to me that everyone with a law degree who was in any way involved in listening to what donald trump and people like rudy giuliani wanted to do with the exception of rudy giuliani and eastman understood that what they were describing was a crime. do you agree that what we re
