New yorks the tourney general Laetitia James, thats the donald trump show is over as this while trial continues in the former president heads back to florida. Plus, the First Quarter france for the first person yet to be charge into boxes killing, 27 years after the crime. We will talk to the t eight on the case. Good evening, thank you for joining, us we begin tonight with the Dysfunction Infighting and backbiting among House Republicans after eight of them meet their Party Leader Kevin Mccarthy the first ever House Speaker to be voted out of a job. That, and why none of it should be surprising to him or anyone. First, quickly, the dysfunction got so bad after the vote, we learned today that republicans cannot even stand to be in the same room together for more than a few minutes. There was a meeting last night as you may, know of republicans, and that ro
Lawrence whats up, everyone . Whats happening . [thank you. Lawrence how are you all doing . Lawrence this is good, brother. Lawrence good morning, everyone. We are in dallas, texas. And im with the people that helped raise me. Its a Beautiful Day in texas. Everything is sweeter, bigger in texas. And the reason why we are here is because this has become the epicenter in texas for what is happening at the border and i got to tell you, the folks of texas are so fired up they feel like joe biden, Kamala Harris have abandoned the state of texas and its borders, guys. Steve lawrence, its great to see you in north dallas right now at normas. I know you have a whole collection of cowboy hats. How did you decide that was going to be the hat for todays big show . Lawrence well, this is a brand new one. I left my hats in new york in my office. And so we went to the state fair yesterday. And, you know, i have to get a new hat. I just had to. Lawrence you mentioned that you were there with the peo
Right now on Andrea Mitchell reports, a power vacuum after Kevin Mccarthy broke too many promises to both sides of the aisle. The office of Speaker Of The House of the United States house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. The first time in u. S. History, the Speaker Of The House is ousted from his leadership post by his own party. I will not run for speaker again. I might have been given a bad break, but i truly still consider myself to be the luckiest man on the face of the earth. With a small group of hard right republicans determined to Fire Mccarthy and his insults against democrats, no one would come to his rescue. We heard Speaker Mccarthy say that he wanted us to bring it on. I guess we did. Kevin mccarthy is a feature of the swamp. Who can bring the fractured republicans together to take the gavel . How will Congress Avoid a shutdown in a little over a month from now . I will speak to Democratic Congress member Alyssa Slotkin slotkin. The judge in Donald Trumps civi
A third principle is judicial review. Here i would just remind the committee about the supreme courts decision in trump versus mazar. The court said about this committee that in fact it has to conduct the investigation for a legitimate purpose. A Fishing Expedition is not a legitimate purpose. Moreover, the court in the trump case it is not a legitimate purpose for the house or House Committee to be conducting the function of law enforcement. I heard many references here to criminal misbehavior, to whether or not somebody should be thrown in jail. Criticisms of a prosecutor, mr. Weiss. That sounds to me like an attempt to really substitute for the properly legitimate proceedings of the house. Two other safeguards real quickly. One is that these proceedings should be based on principle, not partisanship. I fear that what were hearing today, which can be traced back to 2019, and accusations made against mr. Biden are driven bipartisan animus more than principle. A final safeguard is for
Plus backing biden. My wideranging interview with democratic governor gavin newsom. Why do you think 24 want to see . The polls mean nothing until we gut get out there and make our case. His thoughts on his party, the 2024 election and his own president ial ambition. I think we need to move past this notion that hes not going to run. President biden is going to run. Time to move on. Lets go. And gerontocracy, americas Aging Leaders refuse to exit the stage. I will finish my senate term. I made my decision in terms of winning. Why are octogenarians ignoring the calls from voters who believe they are too old to serve. Joining me, senior Political Editor mark murray.
