decided to postpone tomorrow s proceedings. we re praying for all those in the path. we start tonight with a major political battle taking place across the country. as of today, we are just six weeks out from this year s midterms. despite economical and historical trends that should favor republicans, this election is shaping up to be closer than anyone expected, thanks in part to republican extremism to states across the country. from roe v. wade to state abortion bans to election denial to political stunts to silence asylum seekers, the republicans are executing on april radical agenda. red state governors like texas greg abbott and florida s ron desantis. men pushing the extremism while they raise their own political profiles and jockey to raise trump s mantles as leaders for presidential hopefuls. on the other side of that fight are a handful of democratic governors, the people leading the charge against ready cal republican policies. chief among them is california gov
of arizonians. 740,000 ballots violated. it s gnaw true. the maricopa county board of supervisors put out a 98-page report. that is a fact. check your facts. not true. not remotely true. but the threat to democracy is real. and with two weeks until election day, we re already witnessing how that threat is becoming a reality. also tonight, you would think justice clarence thomas would stay out of any cases involving trump s big lie, given that he s ginnee s husband, but he s gotten involved again to help out one of trump s washington cronies. and republicans love to point the finger of blame about ifflation, but do they even have a plan? what would it mean for the u.s. economy if their plan was implemented? plus, if you want to be the republican nominee for president, apparently, you have to break a few laws. new reporting tonight on the migrant flights organized by ron desantis. we begin tonight with the open unabashed rise of anti-semitism. over the weekend,
the grotesque and cynical politics behind the florida governor s migrant stunt. just like the racist reverse freedom rides of the 1960s, these migrants were lied to every step of the way, so desantis could own the libs. also tonight, new reporting from the washington post on how trump s team grossly mischaracterized the nature of the documents that he was keeping at mar-a-lago. when the national archives first asked for them back. and what a way to end the week. fresh from her triumphant victory at the emmy awards, sheryl lee ralph from abbott elementary joins me tonight. we begin with the freedom riders. the group of white and black civil rights activists who rode buses across the south in 1961 with the goal of integrating public transportation and bus terminals. one of the original 13 freedom riders was the late great congressman john lewis. it was a bold act of resistance to challenge the segregation laws and the riders encounters violence, beatings, and yale time.
leaving a handcuffed woman inside of a car as it s hit by a train. oh, [ bleep ]. oh, my god. oh, my god. incredibly, she survived, and we re going to tell you what s happening to the police that left her there inside of that car. but we start today with roger stone and the upcoming january 6th committee hearing. the washington post reporting that wednesday s hearing will use clips from the upcoming roger stone documentary, the filmmakers complying with the committee subpoena after balking. the documentary has footage of stone from over a period of two years, including trips he took to washington, d.c. for the stop the steal rallies and from his post at the will lard hotel on january 6th. it also includes comments from stone made months before the insurrection, predicted violent clashes. in a moment, i m going to talk to one of the reporter who is broke this news. this comes as we get new revelations from former gop congressman denver riggleman who worked as a staffer f
against florida governor, ron desantis. he tried to stop him from making matters worse. it is not the only lawsuit that the florida governor is facing. how much legal trouble is he in? later, another trump rally, another not to qanon. we will show you what happened when trump took the stage last night in north carolina. it is what appears to be the ramping up of his support for the far-right conspiracy theory. all of that and more is coming up. and a good saturday morning to you. i am katie fang. the january six committee just scored a legal victory in its investigation of the so-called, alternate electors. we re just a few days away from the committees next and potentially final public hearing. we begin our morning with msnbc capitol hill correspondent allie raffa, with the latest live for us in washington d.c.. good morning allie. good morning katie. yeah, the general six committee says that it s next. and the numbers are containing, probably last year, our convening on w
