when there s life and light and love. and that if we can just get to the light and life and love, 51% of the time, then we are having a good day. and we are having a good era. don t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. and i think that america is a marvelous example of a human community that gets so much wrong but which knows intuitively that if you do the right thing, everybody benefits. and we have to see each other as neighbors and not as enemies. do not despair, do not give up, in the words of churchill, never, never, never give up. try john meacham, as always, thank you for being with us. i hope you and your family are having a great fourth of july weekend. that was joe s conversation with john meacham ahead of this july 4th holiday. erin o hearn picks up the coverage right now. good money. morning, john. don t go far. no holiday starting yet. good morning to you at home and welcome to msnbc s live coverage on this monday, july 4th. we begin with the latest fr
We would like to know his whereabouts. we communicated to north korea, seeking that information. there are certainly concerns, based on what we ve seen in the past and the way that north korea has treated those it s detained. now, i ve been speaking with some experts who have been dealing with north korea for decades. they said that they don t expect private king to be released anytime soon. they expect north korea will want to get some kind of use out of it, namely a propaganda victory. they were probably want to try him out in front of state television, use him, a uniformed u.s. soldier, a serving u.s. soldier, to tell their people that this young man wanted to go to north korea, try to use him, again, for propaganda value. so, we are not really expecting him to be released anytime soon, but the real issue here, erin, is that we haven t heard anything from the north koreans. they ve been entirely moot and it s only until we get some kind of acknowledgment from the
Process rolling, for sure. and it moves toward a trial, but i don t necessarily know. i wouldn t necessarily set that date in stone. okay, charles, i will turn to you. trump s calendar is starting to fill up. what are we looking here? does it include the two other potential indictments that could be coming, including the special counsel s probe into the events leading up to the january 6th attack? so, if trump ends up being indicted in that case, could a trial take place before the mar-a-lago trial? well, erin, it s very possible, but what we re looking at most likely is that the federal cases are going to take priority over any of the matters. so, whereas fani willis and fulton county is likely going to proceed on her own track and not be concerned about what s going on in the federal or the sea level, for example, with alvin bragg here in new york city, at the end of the day, his defense team is still going to move and try to basically convince the courts that everything should
