warming our democratic institutions. then buckle up, new indications that the probe into trump s efforts to overturn the georgia election result is expanding. and a smear campaign falls apart in realtime. the republican party s efforts to paint president biden as corrupt are facing new skepticism, guess from who, republicans. i m ayman mohyeldin, let s get started donald trump s second indictment has reinforced republican devotion to the twice impeached and now twice indicted ex president. because that s what always happens when trump find himself in trouble. the opposite of what would happen for a normal politician little britain or mull person. just like the access hollywood tape, the first impeachment, the january 6th insurrection. the second impeachment and the earlier indictment trump s second indictment all were bound to bring the gop even closer to him. as msnbc columnist ruth ben-ghiat laid out for us on the indictment special for republicans, this unending loyalty
thank you for being back with us for our second hour of chris jansing reports. we start with breaking news. a moment of much needed hope right now for the families of the hundreds of hostages being held captive by hamas. israel says it has freed a female soldier during a ground operation. the idf says it s doing everything it can to release the others. but for those living in gaza, the military is doubling down on its calls for the civilians in the north to move south saying that warning is now, quote, urgent. where is safe to go? one 14-year-old pulled from the rubble told nbc news she had fled south to they are aunt s house and that the home was bombed while they were baking bread. she heartbreakingly told our nbc news crew, quote, i wish we can live safely like all children of the world. israel continues to pound gaza as tensions are mounting on the ground. with the united nations agency there saying thousands of palestinians, quote, broke into several u.n. rwa warehouse

vivek ramaswamy is urging every presidential candidate to pardon trump if elected even before the trial has begun. nikki haley embraced the idea of a pardon and miami mayor frances soares who is a guest putting himself as a moderate in this presidential field, he also vowed to pardon trump. these gop candidates are at the top of a pyramid of authoritarian bargainers. today of trump s arraignment? asha public and leaders including speaker kevin mccarthy reiterated their support for trump calling the arraignment a quote dark day for our country. but mccarthy is just doubling down on the man who he embraced only weeks after the insurrection because for these people they still see political value in being tied to donald trump. as ruth explained on her substack, the root of this bargain derives from the desire for power and the need to continue to have more of it. it is quote, the thrill of partnering with an amoral
