and it might strike hard there tomorrow. not only is this a life-threatening category 3 hurricane getting stronger, packing winds of 120 miles an hour, it s also getting larger in its size. ian s wind field is expanding, which can potentially expose more of florida to destruction. the storm s exact landfall tomorrow does remain uncertain, but it could be between tampa and ft. myers. now, one of the greatest threats is the storm surge and it could reach up to even 12 feet in some areas, which could bring, as you can imagine, pretty catastrophic flooding. floridians are being urged by officials not to underestimate this storm and nearly 2 million people are already under mandatory evacuation orders all across florida. and more are at least urged to leave. police in tampa are now going door to door warning people they got to get out. 5,000 national guard members are now even activated in florida and another 2,000 guard troops are from other states to help them out. we re about t
growing cancer on our nation. right wing extremists now targeting the lbgtq community, and not just in idaho where 31 of them were unpacked from a u-haul and arrested, and the first polls are close right now in a south carolina primary as trump seeks revenge against two incumbent republicans. steve kornacki will join us from the big board. and first one of the big misconceptions from the trump presidency, that there were no adults in the room. that s not true. there were plenty of adults and couldn t contain him and didn t want to. the so-called adults are sharing what they really feel about trump s pursuit for power. we re talking about trump s closest allies, his own people narrating the case against him, star witnesses that included none other than attorney general william barr, a man who spent years defending and serving trump, not the american people, but who via video testimony had this to say about the president slize. bogus stuff and based on misinformation, idiot
get back on the road again. a very good day to all of you from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. welcome, everyone, this memorial day weekend is already a recordbreaker when it comes to travel. the tsa reporting its highest number of travelers screen on a single day friday with a nearly 3 million passengers. but all of this is extreme weather is causing havoc in states across the middle of the country. dozens of tornadoes were reported across five states, causing widespread destruction in oklahoma, kansas, and texas. at least 11 people now have died from the storms and even more severe weather is expected on the way this weekend. he worked so hard on that room. i feel really bad for them but it is going to work out. tough times, we have reporters in place covering all of these new developments. we are going to go now to valleyview, texas. that is where at least seven people were killed in the store. joining us now, nbc s priscilla thompson. priscilla, actuall
come to light because these cooperators provided them to the government. i mean, as a prosecutor, if i had one cooperator and lots of corroboration, i got a good shot, two, i got a great shot, but three, forget it. they have three people who are able to testify here, and they re all corroborated by contemporaneous messages that basically show that their intent was to overthrow the government, to stop the peaceful transfer of power, to bring arms into the d.c. area and essentially try and stop the vote count in the congress. here s the one flaw. it s like dating sometimes. who you are matched up with on paper looks great. i m married now, so i don t know what you re talking about. but the idea of getting matched up on paper, but then there s the monkey wrench in the plans, and that is they don t have trump, right, they don t have him. yes, you were following my orders, which seems to be the continuous hurdle we see in the
republicans who voted to impeach trump after the january 6th attack and nancy mace who did not vote to impeach but did blame trump for what happened at the capitol. with me now from the big board is msnbc national political correspondent steve kornacki. the numbers are coming in, and you re our numbers guy. what are we seeing, steve? let s start in the first district. you mentioned nancy mace, freshman republican congresswoman, donald trump has endorsed her challenger, and it looks like the early vote has been released so this is a small number of votes, but you do see nancy motor in the early vote at least in one county in this district more than a 2-1 advantage over katie arrington. a couple of things besides the fact that this is very early in terms of the total number of votes that will come in. one thing that we ve seen in some republican primaries throughout this spring has been that the early vote, the votes cast first have been more favorable in a lot of contests towards the
