james crumbley and jennifer crumbley were captured hiding in a warehouse in detroit. they pleaded not guilty to four counts each of involuntary manslaughter and their bond was set at $500,000 each. oxford county prosecutor karen mcdonald laid out on friday how james crumbley and jennifer crumbley brought the gun -- bought the gun for their son ethan who used it as a christmas gift for him and that they ignored clear warnings that he was dangerous. james crumbley and jennifer crumbley are now being held under suicide watch in the same jail as their son. hours after ethan crumbley shot and killed four of his classmates, senate republicans were speaking on the senate floor about abortion. our next democratic senator of philadelphia chris murphy took to the senate floor and said this. >> mr. president i understand that my republican colleagues have very strong views on issues related to abortion. but he listened to my republican colleagues come down here one after another today and talk about the sanctity of life. at the very moment that moms and dads in michigan were bei

eastern on the facts surrounding the arrests of james and jennifer crumbley, the parents of the teenager accused of killing four people at oxford high school in michigan. we'll bring that to you when it happens. here's what we know right now. the couple was arraigned on four counts each of involuntary manslaughter at a virtual hearing this morning. both pleading not guilty. the judge setting bail at half a million dollars each citing concern they could be a flight risk after police had to apprehend them. joining me right now is nbc's meagan fitzgerald. what can we expect to hear at this conference? >> reporter: there are a lot of questions surrounding last night's apprehension. police are confirming that someone let the suspects in so the question being, who is that person, and will they face charges? we talked to some legal analysts who say the answer is a resounding yes, but we are expecting to get more detailed information at that press conference within the next hour here. the sheriff saying that he's going to give facts about the arrest. what we know, though, from yesterday, is that

one of the things i expect tish james and her lawyers will do in a deposition is they will line up all of donald trump's public statements about how he ran his own organization, the trump organization. he sat atop that organization, it is his name sake. he bragged and boasted about how closely controlled every aspect of his company was. there was nothing that went on in his company that he didn't know about. we've also heard him say he knew more about the tax code, for example, that literally anybody else. so what you do is you play those statements for him and then pose the question. mr. trump, let's talk about what was uncovered in an investigation of your organization. and remember, lindsey, his organization, the trump organization stands criminally indicted for a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud in the first degree by the prosecutors in new york and does his chief financial officer, allen weisselberg. i think the smart play for donald trump in a deposition and frankly what his lawyers will advise him to do is plead the fifth amendment against self-incrimination and not answe

but it's just about steve bannon, getting steve bannon out of legal trouble, attacking lebron james. it's really focused and that is exactly what vance has done as well. he jumped in by getting upset about dr. seuss if you remember that era of american politics and that is what really the competition is between these guys. >> it's broader than that, right? this is a sort of kind of a trump primary, the short hand is it is a real thing and it means that you're not running for office from the voters. i mean, in some ways it's like something fundamentally like offensive to my small "d" democratic sensibilities which is that the whole point of elective democracy is they answer to the voters. they don't answer to one person up there. that is like royalty. and yet that is exactly the m.o. here. >> yeah. and i mean that speaks to exactly what vance is doing. you know, which you referred to in the intro. i mean, vance doesn't seem to have much personal involvement or personal stake in any of the kind of issues he is talking about now. he's had a fairly long public career and never really tal

jennifer and james crumbly are now in police custody. we'll bring you more updates as we get them. ing you more update we get them. >>> three new conservative justice in the past four years, two of of our friends are back with us tonight, don calloway, democratic strategist and susan del persio. susan, this is a lay up shot for you. let me put it this way. who will thinks a party that was clowned in putting brett kavanaugh and barrett on the courts that still acts that mcconnell is in charge of the filibuster, it's going to gather the guts somehow packed or altered in any way the supreme court. >> now that i hear this in urgency for senate democrats, they'll make their anger known and do absolutely nothing because there is nothing they can do. that sentence beginning of that washington post piece could have gone to anything. whether it's voting rights or police reform or gun safety reform. it's critical that the democrats now taking on the fights they can win. they have to stop saying we want to break the filibuster or change it this way because they're not doing it and they're jus

the nba basically saying, yes, we embrace this, lebron james lead the name, these big marquis players willing to put themselves out there and the nba embracing it in the way the nfl hasn't. what's been the difference in the approach of some of these pro sports leagues? >> i think in the national basketball association you just said the two keyboards and that's lebron james. when you have the best player in the world say i want to be a political athlete, lebron james said i want to be a global icon like muhammad ali. lebron james was strongly, strongly affected, like the people i interviewed in my book, by the 2012 killing of trayvon martin. lebron james decided that he was going to bend the nba to being more accepting of political athletes and he became like a force field for other athletes who wanted to be political because how can you punish the last guy on the bench if you are going to celebrate lebron james being political. the nfl it's much tougher. the franchise owners are very, very conservative bunch and the contracts are not guaranteed, the average career only lasts three yea

tleticia james' numbers were lagging behind governor hochul's numbers in the race. what does it mean for the investigation? obviously she has deep knowledge of it. >> it is hard to read those tea leaves. you're right it is not that much of a surprise that she dropped out of the election. she was polling at 18%. now an incumbent, kathy hochul so she might have seen that and said look i can run a losing campaign and put a cloud over this big investigation, the high profile investigation of my career or drop the election, and then focus on this as attorney general. and there will be possibly more like there will be a lawsuit and charges. >> let's talk about that manhattan d.a. case, criminally investigating the trump organization. what's the status of that? >> well, the manhattan d.a., cyrus advance, recently impanelled a new grand jury to consider and possibly vote on charges related to valuations of trump property. this is sort of a different set of allegations than the ones indicted last summer of trump's cfo. that was basically payroll tax fraud. these appear to be

james, can you put that slide back up. there were four tornadoes, one of which was the 200-mile tornado -- keep going. it's one of the two weather pictures. there you go. so those show you the four tornadoes, obviously the longest one was the 227-mile tornado, meaning it touched down and stayed down for that period of time. and then you had two to the south of it but very close together and one to the north, so those are the four. now we had other severe weather in many parts of kentucky, and we will see damage from wind and other results of it. okay. next. what do you know about injuries and casualties in mayfield at the manufacturing plant? it is tragic. this is a candle factory. there were about 110 people in it at the time that the tornado hit it. we believe we'll lose at least dozens of those individuals. it's very hard, really tough, and we're praying for each and every one of those families. let's see, kentucky's most recent covid report showed hospital ic capacity strained in far western kentucky. how are hospitals

james missionary church. i'm so moved by you saying i'm still here. and i want to start off with how you and the members of your congregation are coping this morning. >> we're doing fine. i did have one member that lived around the corner from the church that lost her house also. but, you know, in a harrowing effort from her mother, miss ruth, she went and got her. me and my wife was up there the night of the tornado, and we were told the church is gone. i was heart broken. we had no idea what to do, but we are still here. we will win. we will prevail. >> obviously this storm was like nothing that most people have ever seen or we hope will ever see in their lifetimes. there was this photo in the new york times showing one of your deacons sifting through the rubble. is there'ven much left that's even salvageable, pastor? >> we had a few things that were -- he was specifically looking for a filing cabinet that had church and personal information in it, and we did find that. it was still intact. amazingly, my desk was still in the spot where it was at wi

that's what james madison wanted. it's what bob dole wanted. i'm not sure it's what a lot of americans want right now. >> josh, i loved reading your piece in politico about bob dole. it took me back to 1996, kind of getting the inside track as to what was going on, and i especially loved anecdotely the fact that he used to mess with you a little bit and actually tried to get you arrested to a certain extent, because of your terrible driving. >> yeah. that was funny. that was one of my first experiences with him up in new hampshire, chasing around his campaign. and we had to sort of hopscotch to events. we were trying to race out of one and get to the next one before he got there. and eventually he started teasing me about being a dangerously fast driver, and he tried to have one of the governor state troopers up there throw me in jail. but i agree with michael about the bipartisanship. there's just no question that dole is from another era. he used to get deals and what was that politicians did at that time. at the same time, i do think that th

you're looking at the new booking photos of james and jennifer crumbley on your screen. we also learned that all three of them, james, jennifer, and ethan crumbley, they were all in a stage of advanced watch, essentially suicide watch. they have not had any communication with one another. they also said in terms of the shooting itself that they found clear evidence at the home of the crumbleys that this shooting in which ethan is accused and being charged as an adult, they found clear evidence it was premeditated and in fact he was looking forward to it. very disturbing details continue to come out of this case. i want to bring in right now danny cevallos and cedric alexander, and danny, first i want to go to you and talk about this potential accomplice here. now, that sheriff said that when deputies got there, it actually might have been detroit police who got there first and found the car outside that detroit warehouse, that somebody outside was smoking a cigarette and ran away. unclear who that person is, but in terms of this potential accomplice right now, what are p

joining me now is congressman james comer of kentucky. he represents the district that includes mayfield. congressman, thanks so much for being here. i mean, it's hard to even ask, where do you begin. there are people who have family and friends they can stay with but others don't have anywhere to stay. what are you doing about shelter? >> well, the churches have stepped up big time. all the churches in the neighboring communities that were unharmed by the tornado have opened their doors. many schools are the primary sources of shelter in an emergency. the friends and neighbors have opened up their homes. the governor opened up the state parks. there are about four state parks within the area, pretty close to mayfield and dawson spring. i think that everyone that needs a place to stay in the very short term has found a place. but we've got a long process to go to bring in temporary shelters before these homes are rebuilt. >> that is my question, long term, what are you going to need from the federal government to make sure people have wha

it's not clear whether james tested positive for covid or whether his result was inconclusive. i want to bring in sam brock who's covering the latest on all of this. let me start with what i think is the headline catching the most potential this morning, the potential for those stricter testing requirements for international travel, right? what's coming down the pike? >> reporter: it's pretty clear, the white house is floating a couple of different ideas. the most likely scenario according to our reporting is more stringent testing international travel into the united states. also getting another test three to five days after you're here in the country. that does seem likely. there's also reports going on right now of a possible seven-day self-quarantine. there are indications at this point it's not being considered. a lot of this does seem to be fluid. with respect to the omicron variant, there has not been a single detected case so far, hallie in the united states. as you mentioned a second ago, brazil had its first instance. southern africa, europe, globally all over the wor

the prosecutor announced the state is going to charge james and jennifer crumbley, the parents of the shooter with four counts of involuntary manslaughter each after the shooting left four students dead and seven injured. they said the parents bought the gun their t son used in their classrooms and did nothing to prevent the shooting. >> i want to be really clear. these charges are intend to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable and also send a message. that gun owners have a responsibility. when they fail to up hold that responsibility, there are serious and criminal consequences. as we work together to honor the lives lost in all of those impacted by the evil acts this week, justice for the victims and their families is at the forefront of today's announcement. >>> these charges come two days after the shooter, a 15-year-old student at the school was charged on 25 24 counts as an adult. shaquille brewster is in michigan. shaq, it is -- i'll be honest, these charges against the parents, the role the parents played and did not play in this seem to be i guess

new york attorney general letitia james wants to question the former president under oath next month in a long-running fraud investigation into the trump family real estate business. the civil investigation is focusing on whether the trump organization routinely lied about the value of its properties, trying to lower its taxes or access loans. trump's attorney said he's still awaiting the subpoena but called the deposition scheduled for january 7th a witch hunt and purely political. the decision comes as the former president loses an appeal to block white house records from being handed over to the january 6th house committee. while his allies and former aides face their own legal challenges for stonewalling that panel. we're going to get to all of that now with msnbc legal analyst and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade. always good to have you here so let's begin with this new york civil investigation into the trump organization. explain to us what information the attorney general wants to get from donald trump, and is there any way trump can get out of testifying? >> well, ordina

congressman james comer. we have talked about the fact that this storm has hit several states and hit tennessee as well. i want to go to reporter ryan breslin who's standing by in tennessee. we have not talked a lot about this, ryan. what's the situation where you are? >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, ali. we are about 30 minutes west of tennessee in a town called kingston springs. this area got hit pretty bad, about 200 to 300 estimated homes have damage. and this is the typical scene that you're seeing in kingston springs, power lines along the road, luckily, work crews worked all day yesterday working on those trees, cutting them out and getting them out of the area. take a look at this home behind me here. you can see the roof or the front of that roof down there. that's what a lot of the homes down this road, it's sneed road, look like this morning and yesterday morning. we can't actually get down the road because of the power lines that are across from us, but that's an electrical worker tat is as

related to members of the media and who they were, you know, having a warrant on the judge, putting james okeif in handcuffs as they took his phone, he demands he is a journalist like the rest of us and has protections because of that. it's a question on all of us, how far the first amendment extends and what that means in federal investigations especially with the issues over the past years, seizing phone records of reporters and such so a lot of dynamics here, but at the center of it is a woman who is the daughter of the president of the united states who, in the final days of the 2020 campaign, had to live with the thought, and ultimate dumping of her personal diary into the public, in an effort to undercut joe biden, her father, and keep donald trump in office and that's just a remarkable, personal human story. >> mike, can you sort of address two intersections of project veritas and the group you describe in the reporting as being under investigation for potential criminal conspiracy? how close did that group or effort come to the ex-president? and the other, this point you're making

. >> well, yesterday, as we all know, attorney general letitia james announced that she was withdrawing from the governor's race and going to seek re-election to be attorney general of new york. i had already always said at the beginning that if she were to run for governor, i would be -- that would be the only condition in which i would run for attorney general, and i think that tish james has done a very nice and fine and important and really productive job as attorney general in new york, rising up to some of these challenges around the country that trump brought on us, and i am not -- i have no interest in challenging her or battling with her, because i think she is taking the state in the right direction. i will say that, you know, as a fledgling, newbie, politician, so to speak, somewhat of an accidental politician, i was really moved by the reaction that i got and the three weeks of my campaign. the ground swell of support was really meaningful and nice and what was nice about it is obviously, as i told you on your show, nicole, i got in this because i wanted to get back in the a

statements james made, it read, quote -- should really be whom there. get the grammar right. in a separate statement, trump lamented that it was quote, a continuation of the capital w witch, capital h hunt. james quick to respond saying quote, the trump organization has sought to delay our business dealings. to be clear, neither mr. trump nor the organization will get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions. joining our conversation is the one and only tim o'brien and tara, who's back with us. tim, i said before, you're one of the few people in the known universe who's sat across from donald trump and gotten a look at his finances. there's a bunch of information out there now that suggests that the trump legal team is facing an uphill battle. i want to start by asking you if you think that's right. are they looking at a tough road? >> it's way worse than an uphill battle. this is a garbage lawsuit. the trump legal team is a woman who is based in new jersey in a small firm and real estate law. he has not drafted a legal defense team to
