any policy solutions, these issues go right into the kitchen table, and they scare us. scarier than all of these things is democracy at risk and in peril. without a respected rule of law, we have nothing, which is what democrats are trying to explain. here s the problem. voters, there nothing about democracy when they re at the gas station, or the grocery store so i want to know how the democrats play this. and we have a great round up of people here to cover this and more. here tonight, stand up comedian, pete dominick, but hayes brown, msnbc daily columnist, editor, and jonathan greenblatt, co national director of the anti-defamation league. and my dear friend nbc news correspondent stephanie gosk. welcome to you all. i want everybody to chime in. but hayes, do you first. some of the arguments republicans are making aren t even true. but the fear is real. so what do democrats do? i mean that is one of the things that is why republicans are choosing these issues to run on, because s
costs, capping seniors out of pocket cost. combatting climate change. that s on top of the american jobs bill, the chiefs and science to revitalize our manufacturing sector. the other side has had a summer assembles. obstructing veterans health care, ripping away 50 years of reproductive freedom. and now, we re trying to defund the fbi and ignore a serious threat to our national security with trump s latest scandal. on the heels of that, now to this hour s panel. nbc s justice reporter, ryan reilly. lisa reuben, legal analyst for the rachel maddow show. and hayes brown, msnbc daily columnist and editor. welcome all. ryan, i m gonna start with you here. give us the very latest on the mar-a-lago situation. where do things stand? as this unfolds, i think i want to highlight something about the ongoing threats that are being faced with the fbi. we saw that attack of the fbi cincinnati field office. we saw a man arrested for a threat last weekend. in fact, in a recent motion
as well as these new threats that are emerging from the search almost two weeks ago of donald trump s estate in mar-a-lago, alex. ryan, stay with us. don t go too far because we re in to bring in right now lisa rubin, legal analyst for the rachel maddow show. and hayes run as well, msnbc daily columnist and editor. lisa, i want to begin with the breaking news that just went down shortly before the show started here. that a judge has temporarily blocked senator lindsey graham from having to testify in the georgia election fraud probe. ram argues he should have protections as a federal lawmaker. but will this argument stand up long term? it might delay from tuesday. but long term is the question. will the grand jury ever hear from the senator? i think the grand jury should hear from the senator. alex, the immunity that senator graham has been talking about in his briefs, both the district court under the 11th circuit, stems from the constitution in the speech and debate clause.
there s a lot to discuss this evening. to help work through all of it, i m joined by camilla deshall lis, msnbc daily columnist, comedian and host on sirius xm and ida rodriguez, her comedy special fighting words is out now on hbo max. it s great to have all three of you with us. this is likely to be one of the most significant and dramatic weakenings of precedents we ve seen in our lifetime. just how flawed is this system when you have three people who can make the difference as to the liberties of 125 million women in this country? well, i think the biggest concern here is the public perception of the supreme court. you heard justice barrett and also now justice sonia sotomayor talk about the concern that the public perception of the supreme court as being a partisan
judith brown dianis and dean obeidallah, msnbc daily columnist and host of sirius xm s the dean obeidallah show. judith, with some of these restrictive new laws, we re lag at slashed voting hours, redudus ballot boxes, no vote by mail, no voting on sunday, purged voter rolls. are they hoping that voters just don t pay attention until they want to cast their vote? and are they willing to put up with the political risk that comes with that? well, i think, alicea, that they know that these barriers will hit black and brown voters. they know what the demographic shifts have been and what the census numbers show. and who it will impact. that s why they were crafted this way. they re also going to hit redistricting. but, remember, we, right now, because of the supreme court s decision year ago, in the shelby county case, don t have protect
