inclusive curriculum is just. i mean, it s really folks should check out the book, but the idea of this book is divisive worth a threat as a little hard to stomach. yeah, and then the after effect on what happens to kids? yes. anyway, that is a great story and it s good on you to cover it. thank you to you at home for joining us this hour. if you follow politics at all then you will remember that president trump s lawyer rudy giuliani held a news conference right after the 2020 election, it was held, if you remember, at four seasons total landscaping. a gardening business just off the interstate in philadelphia, nestled in between an adult bookstore and a crematorium. honestly, i don t know that we ever definitively settled on why the press conference was held there. but the whole reason rudy giuliani trotted himself at that morning in front of the gardening business was to baselessly claim that the election had been stolen. the real chef s kiss here is that that
word with ali velshi, who is in for lawrence o donnell. velshi, who i in many ongoing legal challenges, including news that, on monday, defending donald trump may become witnessed all. trump a source close to donald trump tells nbc news that he is, quote, planning on testifying, end quote, in his own defense, when trial resumes next week in e. jean carroll s civil defamation suit against the disgraced former president. the decision to testify would come with a great deal of risk for trump because, in court, he is not allowed to lie about her, or about what a jury found that he did to her. that s already been settled. today, newly-released video from an under oath deposition in another trump case the penalties for trump civil fraud are currently being decided by a new york state judge. that deposition shows what we might expect from witness trump. i was very busy. i conceded this. the most important job in the world. so, millions of lives. i think you ve got to nuc
we ll go over what exactly happened and what it could mean for putin s leadership as well as the war in ukraine. plus, republicans continue to veer toward an electoral cliff, backing former president trump despite his mounting legal challenges, even as many voters are deeply disturbed by his multiple indictments. perhaps that s why president biden is leading trump in a 2024 matchup. and a year after the supreme court stripped away abortion rights, the high court s approval rating is in the basement at just 31%. we re breaking down the new poll numbers just ahead. good morning and welcome to morning joe. it is monday, june 26th. joe is off this morning. we begin with this weekend s developing news out of russia, where the head of the mercenary group, wagner, launched the most direct challenge to vladimir putin s grip on power in his 19 years as president. it started on friday when yevgeny prigozhin, the leader of a private army, posted a video to social media. in it, h
