broke, miles, in the recent op-ed. you said our democracy, the threat to, it isn t trump or the next trump. but the transformation of the gop base into a reactionary angry mob. it s not the way you see it? i do, alex. we are sitting right now on a ticking time bomb of political violence in this country. a lot of it coming from the far right. what worries me is i live inside of the state of all the time, and the data shows that it s not just reactionary political leaders like trump implementing violence. that their views have now been transmitted onto the base. you have these very favorable attitudes towards political violence, unlike anything we ve seen in the modern era. i worry about what that means for us as a country, especially as we re going into 2024. and you can bet your bottom dollar that right now, it s the top concern that federal law enforcement, when it comes to homeland security. what a sobering discussion, you guys. thank you very much, miles and frank. good to see y
trump s three federal indictments making remarks about the case. special counsel in the hunter biden investigation, republicans say this could be a tactic to stonewall their congressional investigation. democrats say it is what republicans have been clamoring for. it puts republicans in a bind. they are the ones who called for a special counsel. we gave them a special counsel. they re the ones who accused the department of justice being a deep state and city out to get trump. but that same entity is in fact holding the president s son, the democratic president some, to account. for more on those developing stories i m joined by nbc news s ryan riley who was in the room for the trump hearing yesterday. also the hunter biden special counsel announcement. and makes you very busy guy. i can throw bunch of questions that you starting with this,
trump that he could not be sharing discovery materials with anyone other than his notice council that are defending him in this case. some of these other people might include yet unidentified coconspirators. here is a look at now is off limits to trump. personally identifying information, evidence presented to the grand jury, anything sealed. anything related to witness interviews. you asked, what is not covered by the protective order? that is the correct question to ask because trump s lawyers thought they hada predural win when the judge said, okay, we will designate some material of sensitive another arians nonsense into. trump is free to share the nonsense of the material. when she actually broke down what might be a niche bucket, the things left in the nonsense
that remains, it exists? how and why did wildfires but so quickly? i will talk to representatives from fema at the bottom of the hour. also developing this, our former president, donald, trump is expected to arrive within the hour at the iowa state fair. it is a signature political event when candidates coverage on the first of the nation-state to meet angry voters. trump and his chief gop rival, rhonda santiff, will be campaigning at that same event. while there is no indication on whether they will come face to face, many iowa voters are looking at it as a clear showdown. i did vote for trump in the last election. but we love desantis. i like trump. he delivered on many things. but trump has an ability to end up fighting people. trump s trip to iowa comes hours after judge chutkan issued a protective order with limits on sharing evidence on
of the discovery is going to be done by the end of this month. kristin, to you, the judge is allowing trump to view material on his own. he should not have a device that either photographs or records. it s his lawyers need to review any notes that he takes. how is judge chucking going to enforce this? does her lawyer now put the lawyers in some sort of legal crosshairs? as lawyers we are officers of the court we have to be candid to their core otherwise we face ethical and legal bars. this really does put the onus on the lawyers in this case given trump s history of not really listening to lawyers, i think this is going to be a really challenging task for his attorneys. do you think it is an unenviable position they find themselves in? absolutely. i would not want to find myself in that position.
