Person arraignment in the maralago documents case. Well tell you what happened when his two codefendants showed up in court. Plus new reporting from propublica about Clarence Thomas and his wealthy network of friends who allegedly financed his luxurious gifts and travel. And we begin this morning with a devastating wildfires in hawaii. At least 36 people have died as the flames rip through the island with crews in the skies and on the ground urgently battling three active fires. The flames have destroyed homes, wreaked havoc on businesses and forced thousands to evacuate. Residents seeking safety are flocking to airports and shelters. My family is thinking of just leaving the island completely. We have nothing but the clothes on our backs right now. Everything is gone. Some had to jump into the ocean to escape dangerous flames, swallowed more 2,000 acres of land.

racist if i just want someone who knows how to fly the damn plane, not someone who got in because they checked a couple boxes and maybe there s a big boy in the room to teach them how to do it in case something goes wrong. super genius, donald trump jr. with the republicans latest racist talking points about how diversity, equity, and inclusion is going to get us all killed on airplanes. wait a minute, i thought the real danger was critical race theory. also tonight, the shocking audio recording of trump ally roger stone calling for the assassination of two prominent democrats. plus, my conversation with charlamagne tha god, on why the mainstream media is so obsessed with him, and why president biden is struggling with black voters. but we begin tonight three days before the iowa caucuses. now, in normal times, i would be telling you to keep a close eye on iowa and then new hampshire because that is the usual like start to the election season. but these are not norma
because that is the usual like start to the election season. but these are not normal times. sorry, iowa. sorry new hampshire. because not only are those two states not only the starting gun for democrats who shifted them out for south carolina, the truth is, none of this normal political calendaring actually counts in either party this year the way it has in the past. on the democratic side, sure, there s a nominal challenger to the incumbent sitting president of the united states, joe biden, but is there really? and on the republican side, while there are technically five remaining republicans vying to be the party s presidential nominee, none of the ones not named trump are genuinely running against him. and none of them are going to beat him. the contest is pretty much set, right? for better or for worse, it will almost certainly be a biden/trump rematch on the november ballot. and if you are a republican voter, you should be warned that your likely nominee isn t super focused righ
