evening. good morning. welcome to morning joe. it is thursday, june 9th. along with joe, willie, and me, we have msnbc contributor mike barnicle, white house bureau chief at politico and the host of way too early, jonathan lemire. we ll dive right into the house investigation into the january 6th capitol attack, which kicks off tonight in primetime. an aide tells nbc news the committee will present evidence never shown before which shows president donald trump at the center of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 election. the aide says tonight s testimony will serve as sort of an opening statement, and that the information we hear could go beyond the testimony we hear from live witnesses. as we ve reported, this evening s witnesses include a filmmaker who is embedded with the far right group, the proud boys, and a capitol police officer who was injured in the attack. the new york times reports the committee will also play video excerpts of the testimony from j
tomorrow s primetime hearing. and new reporting on how donald trump had the secret service scrambling on the day of the capitol attack. also this morning, the top headlines from last night s midterm election primaries that may serve as a warning to democrats. yeah. some democrats. willy, you know this better than anybody, when brilliant minds visit our show, who do they quote? churchill, lincoln, aristotle, jesus christ. okay. of course more dorchester the british governor of quebec if it s jon meacham. willie, that s another story for another day. today we want to open the vault of deep thoughts in service to our progressive friends on the occasion of yet another setback on the issue of permissive law law enforcement. the san francisco d.a. got recalled last night perhaps the most progressive city in america. as we said last year, you said it time and again, democrats one of the most liberal cities in the east coast, one of the most liberal cities in new york elected
good morning. and welcome to your new day. it is sunday, may 29th. we re grateful that you re starting your week with us. i m boris sanchez, live from uvalde, texas. i m christi paul. boris, there in uvalde, you ve seen people just even last hour at 5:00 a.m. where you are come out to that memorial that is behind you. and you re probably standing in a place where you re soon going to see at some point today president biden. potentially, yeah. you re right. president biden headed to uvalde, texas, coming to comfort grief-stricken community following the latest mass shooting in the united states. just a few hours from now, president biden set to visit this area and a memorial at robb elementary school where 19 students and 2 teachers were killed. in a commencement address delivered yesterday, the president spoke of the grief that the families here are experiencing. here is some of what he said. we re heading to uvalde, texas, to meet with each of those families. and as
