very first interview since taking the job. also today, the domino start falling as those trump allies plead guilty and agreed to testify against their codefendants. the law firm of our back to tell us what it means for the case against the codefendant in donald trump. and later, my one-on-one conversation with senator raphael warnock. i got his view on the war in the middle east, and that high profile legal case playing out in his home state. this week felt like a real inflection point in so many ways. because we are all living in a country grappling with growing threats of antisemitism, islamophobia, and deep, deep divisions over how the united states government should respond to a growing conflict in the middle east. and, meanwhile, we have a republican party revealing itself wholly incapable of governing, even amongst themselves. and as we digest all of this and, believe me, this is a lot to digest. i think about something president biden said in his address to the natio
my colleague katy tur just indicated, we have major breaking news that we re covering. two american hostages have been released by hamas. they have been held by the terror group for nearly two weeks, since hamas stormed into communities in southern israel killing nearly 1,400 people and kidnapping more than 200. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken speaks right now about it. citizens held by hamas since october 7th were released. these two americans are now safely in the hands of israeli authorities in israel. we expect the team from the u.s. embassy to see them very shortly. over the coming hours, they ll receive any support and assistance they need, and of course we re very anxious to be able to reunite them with their loved ones. we welcome their release. we share in the relief that their families, friends, and loved ones are feeling. there are still ten additional americans who remain unaccounted for in this conflict. we know that some of them are being held hostage b

welcome to the second hour of chris jansing reports live at msnbc headquarters in new york, and right now, about 115 minutes since the house gavelled out for recess. no solution in the speaker stalemate, but just in the last 30 minutes, since we last spoke about this, a lot has changed and we re getting a new glimpse into just how high tensions are behind closed doors within the republican conference. here s what happened. moments ago, republican congressman matt gaetz confirmed that former speaker kevin mccarthy yelled at him in that gop conference meeting. passions are a little inflamed, i think he s working through the stages of grief. did congressman lunge at you as well? i think he was pretty animated. i don t know if i would describe it as a lunge. i said having a speaker light is a bad idea. i think republicans ought to stay in the conference until we elect a speaker. i think we have a lot of great folks. i m supporting jim jordan. that will be how it goes. o
