Hope you had a grand weekend. Im bill hemmer live in new york. Hello to you. Dana good morning to you. We want to hear more about your weekend and americas best kept secret. I didnt give it away. I gave it a tease. Im dana perino. This is americas newsroom. The u. S. Navy was forced to react in what is being called as a blatant act of aggression. Military activists say the combined flotilla is, perhaps, the largest to approach u. S. Soil. They point out the maneuver was no mistake with moscow and beijing taking advantage of the Biden Administrations setbacks overseas. This is a very dangerous situation, and ive said since the beginning of the war in Eastern Europe between ukraine and russia the real danger of what the Biden Administration is blundering us towards is a closer union between the two great powers of the Urasian Land Mass which are russia and china. Its really the one thing that we cant allow to happen in terms of larger geopolitics. Bill sets us up live in the northwest bu
And tim miller on whether we will see any president ial debates and by many think the answer is a big, no. A good day to all of you from msnbc headquarters in new york but welcome everyone to alex witt reports. We begin with President Biden and donald trump with dueling rallies, the battleground state of georgia. Election season unofficially kicks off. Biden arriving in atlanta just a short time ago where he will speak later on. The president also launching a new ad in georgia. Joking about his age as he seeks to reach out to younger voters. Jonathan capehart will have an inclusive interview with the president today that will air at 6 00 p. M. Right here on The Saturday Show and i will talk shortly with Jasmine Crockett to get her take on the campaign about the message Going Forward from the president as he begins campaigning.

Jail for several years for counterfeiting one vote. If they try to vote illegally once, he tried to steal the entire election. And his lawyers out there are saying that its just a matter of him expressing his First Amendment rights. And that is deranged. That is a deranged argument. Trumps lawyers also making the case that mike pence will be the defenses, quote, best witness. Today on cnn, pence contradicted lauras take on the Pressure Campaign to block the certification of president bidens election victory. What President Trump did not do is direct Vice President pence to do anything. He asked him in an aspirational way, asking is covered by the First Amendment. In the days before the president was talking about us rejecting votes. And then late in the process, his lawyers suggested that we return votes to the states. But frankly, the day before january 6th, if memory serves, they came back, his lawyers did, and said we want you to reject votes outright. They were asking me to overtur
Time time time time time greg yeah. Did you ever wonder how local news becomes national . It napped montgomery, alabama. A cityowned river boat tried to dock in its designated spot along the water front but a pontoon boat was mored there they asked the pontoon owner to move but when they were asked to move the owners were happy about it at all and then this happened. Mind you what youre about to see is disturbing. So if you have children in the room, punch them hard in the face as a diversion. Get out the way [screaming and yelling] greg well, thats disgusting. Appalling. And when im disgusted and appalled, i need to see more. Oh, new angle. Check the two guys in the water, make sure nobody drowns. Hey, hey, hey oh, my god that hurts. And then more people jumped in to defend the guy and it turned into quite the melee or what the irish call, friday night. But its what the rest of us might call just plain good tv which explains how this quickly went from a local story to a national one.
President lyndon b. Johnson signed the Voting Rights act into law. Removing legal barriers for black voters, johnson not only made a quality at the ballot box of reality for everyone but he also ensured this nations laws matched its revered ideals. And yeah, its over the ensuing indicates protections under the act have been chipped away. Most notably after the 2013 Supreme Court decision in shelby v. Holder which made it easier for states to pass restrictive voting laws. Still, the outcome of our elections and our democracy held firm. Until january six 2020 line. An angry red violent mob stormed the capitol driven by one terrified goal. Overturn a free and Fair Election. They were motivated by the lives of one. Dan donald j trump. The new twice impeached thrice indicted for now former president of the United States. That dark day expose just how fragile american democracy, our democracy, really is.
