a legally aggressive and, frankly, publicly unpopular decision, drawing backlash around america and intense interest around the world, including people gathering at the high court where folks have been coming together and even though a version of this ruling did leak earlier, which was very unusual, today seeing the actual gutting of roe come down has been shattering for many. illegitimate. illegitimate. this is insane. going over to the other side, especially i wanted to yell at the people there. just how the young women who are on opposition who don t understand how at risk their lives may be. abolish abortion! now that the final ruling is out, we can report for you what it says and what it does. six justices voting to uphold mississippi s sweeping ban, a binding majority of five voting to ending roe entirely, stating abortion destroys potential life and what mississippi republicans called, quote, an unborn human being. bush appointee sam alito writing the opi
focusing on the elaborate effort by then president trump to pressure state officials to overturn the 2020 presidential election. plus the latest on the bipartisan group of senators negotiating new gun legislation in a moment we ll speak with chris coons of delaware on just how close senators are on a final bill. also ahead, we re keeping an eye on wall street as stock futures soared overnight following a brutal week. we ll get a live report from cnbc. and it is primary day for several states across the country which means kornacki is camped out at the big board. he s angry. and i ll tell you what, jonathan lemire, we have a big race today in alabama. you have donald trump who of course always had a prerogative of changing his mind when it looks like his first election is on the way to losing. he chose mo brooks who was there on january 6 trying to whip up the masses to attack the capitol or so some people believe. on the other side, one of richard shelby s staff members.
access, is america exceptional? we will look at reproductive rights. all that with two top journalists. then president biden is in germany today for the meeting of the g7. will the world s advanced economies ramp up pressure on russia? will it work? israel s government collapses. what does that mean for the country, the region, and for bb netanyahu? finally, a seismic shift in french politics. president macron s centrist party loses its parliamentary majority but the far right and left make electoral gains. why is this happening? just who are these voters embracing the extremes? first, here is my take. american democracy has been under stress for sometime now. trust in its institutions is near the lowest on record. when we say this we usually mean congress and the presidency. the supreme court s decision on roe v. wade has brought the public s confidence in the court to an all time low and puts it in the same category as the others defined bipartisanship and polarization. the
the lawyer who devised the plan to overturn the election. mr. eastman, we hardly knew you. it always happens, and they always seem so shocked. plus, president biden considers a move to provide a bit of relief at the gas pump, but he needs congress to agree. we also expect more economic data this morning that could offer clues into whether the u.s. is headed toward a recession. also, the crippling labor shortage. the latest industry to feel the pressure, airlines, with more chaos and canceled flights. cnbc s brian sullivan is standing by to discuss if the lack of labor is as big a threat to the economy as inflation and energy costs. would you or a family member like to fly a jumbo jet? if so, we have a job for you. that s the problem, it takes so long to become qualified to fly, and there are not pilots. often, people are waiting. it s crazy. or flights are literally canceled out underneath them. good morning and welcome to morning joe. it is tuesday, june
