that is something i suppose. good evening, welcome to the next revolution . we are pro-worker, pro-family, pro-community especially pro-america. for once chuck todd had it right this morning. we now know that donald trump s 2016 election, which gave him three supreme court pics all who voted to overturn roe is easily the most consequential ever in our nations history. steve: a hugely consequential week for america as we saw two landmark rulings from the supreme court on guns and abortion. these are the most divisive issues in our country. people have deeply held views that go to the court, the identity, the humidity, their faith. the truth about these rulings even though they do have immediate real-world consequences is there less about the issues themselves and more about how and crucially where we make decisions about the issues. my personal views are abortion and guns are pretty mainstream according to the polls. you may agree with them and you may not. i m one american
cnn exclusive reporting tonight. the trump legal team, engaging in direct communication with the department of justice about the january 6th criminal investigation. the news comes after we learn the justice department is getting ready for a court battle, which officials might try to keep the conversations with the former president out of reach of investigators. join me now with kim whaley, a visiting professor of law at american university, and the author of the upcoming book how to think like a lawyer, as well as cnn s senior political and terrorism analyst, philip mudd. good evening, one and all. thanks so much. kim, let s begin with you. okay. let s start with your reaction to this new report, first of all. don, i m not really that surprised. i think mayor garland has made clear, in speeches, that he s going to follow the backs of the law, as far as they take them, regardless of who is involved. and he is sort of nodded, potentially, to donald trump, and the january 6t
left spending agenda with one advisor telling politico, quote, the biden administration doesn t understand that the only thing people care about is the inflation, gas prices, and the economy. of course there s no messaging and they don t have any idea what the message is. they are living in lala land. kirsten synema has agreed to back the bill saying we have agreed to remove the carried tax provision, advance manufacturing, and boost our clean economy in the senate s budget reconciliation. biden saying we ve taken a step towards reducing inflation and the costs for american families. i look forward to the senate taking up the legislation and passing it as soon as possible. at the center of this, joe man chin whose support earlier this week really paved the way to head to a vote. here s what he had to say about getting republicans onboard. you said this week you think that republicans should vote i would like to think i talk to my republican friends, they want to mak
eastern time. the committee saying tomorrow s hearings will focus on former president trump pressuring state officials to overturn election results and pushing to advance phony slates of electors. a lot to discuss with doug jones, charlie dent, a former republican congressman, and political analyst, the national politics reporter at the washington post. also the co-author of the book his name is george floyd. so happy to have all of you on. why don t i start with you. good evening to everyone. to the trump pressure campaign. last week the committee focussed on the intense pressure on pence and how much danger that put him in. this week it is the pressure on state officials to overturn the election. remember this call that trump made to georgia secretary of state? here it is. so, look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. so what do you think it is going to mean to hear publically from thes
health care there. then the doctor that performed the procedure got in trouble, or at least didn t really get in trouble, didn t do one thing wrong but the attorney general starts looking into her. when you hear stories like that, voters hear it, regular people hear it. and i think that s what was resonating with them. they want to be able to make their own decisions on reproductive health care. and i don t think we could put in their minds what they thought of restrictions or not. i just think that the views that we re seeing is what they voted on, right? we ve got people including actually senator mcconnell who ve said they want to put a ban into law, a ban, outright ban. we have governors in states like texas who have talked about putting even more restrictions in place. states like missouri where someone proposed criminalizing it, where people have proposed suing people when they cross lines or not allowing them to get their own health care in other states. all these thin
