what did former president trum -- mostly defenders is one of his most biting critics. according to the associate press, former vice president mike pence ripped into his former boss at what is typically a lighthearted event the great iron dinner hailed last night in washington d.c.. these were pence's harshes public comments yet on trump's role in the january 6th capito riot and the efforts to overturn th 2020 election. pence reportedly said presiden trump was wrong. i had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the capitol that day. i know history will hold donal trump accountable. pence's comments come just before trump is expected to hi the campaign trail in iowa tomorrow becoming the latest in a sle of confirmed and potential presidential candidates to descend on the hawkeye state but even with trump's focus on the 2024 campaign, questions surrounding his 2016 campaig not only still haunt him, they
1:03 pm
are possibly at an inflectio point. because while donald trump i in iowa tomorrow, his former fixer, michael cohen, will b testifying as a key witnes before the manhattan grand jury in a case that involves an alleged hush money payment t adult film star stormy daniels and according to two of trump' attorneys, manhattan distric attorney alvin bragg has als invited trump to appear before that grand jury. the former president's attorneys say that they have not been told to expec indictment, and it's unclear i trump will accept the da's invitation to testify. but if indicted, trump would b the first former president t face criminal charges. bragg and his office hav repeatedly declined to comment except to say that this is a active investigation but the spokesperson for trump-like into th investigation into a witch hunt and in recent comments at th conservative political actio conference, trump said eve indictment would not keep hi from running
1:04 pm
joining us from des moines iowa, with more is nbc new senior national politics reporter, john allen so, john, what are you going t be watching for during trump's whistle stop tomorrow in iow given that the 2024 race i already picking up steam there >> yeah, we know that trump is going to roll out an education plank of his platform. but in addition to that, i a going to watch very closely to see what donald trump says about ron desantis, the florid governor who is here in iowa just on friday, went to tw events that he held in davenport and des moines one of the things that desanti did was take sort of a doubl shot at both trump and biden over the response to covid-19, which, of course, has to spend both of their administrations. interesting to see how directl trump addresses desantis, an whether trump decides to d what has been doing othe recent events. which is to spend some tim mingling in the crowd to reall get that personal retail touch desantis spent about half an hour after each of his speeche
1:05 pm
on friday talking about voters and signing copies of his book for them >> everyone knows that donal trump is a retail politician power excellence, but most retail politicians don't hav the potential -- looming over them. so how does this potential indictment as well as the shar criticism from mike pence shap the political landscape on the ground for trump as he tours iowa, are rural republican talking with these developments? >> you have to put in th broader category of iran republicans, wilkins across th country being worried abou whether donald trump can win a general election they watch him lose in 2020. and anything that suggests tha he wouldn't be able to win i 2024 hearts and with primary voters they are looking for somebod who can beat joe biden so the possibility of an indictment of trump said h would win, anyways certainly nothing would constitute preventing him from runnin defended nothing grandsons running if knitted. so he can continue to run. but he does that have that political risk that voters wil look at him as even more damag
1:06 pm
heading into 2024 than he wa in 2020, as far as pence goes think there is an importan context to what he said. he said history will hold trum accountable. he said that at a time when he is trying to block a subpoen for his testimony on january six. so there is a part of that where he is setting up a construct -- history will hold long-ter accountable, even though right now mike pence has the ability to hold on to recount-able doe not doing so so hickory is creating, you, know an excuse structure for that >> well, former president trum is going to be in davenport, iowa, delivering remarks o what he is calling his america first education policy this is after rhonda sanders made education policy a to agenda item in the state o florida. and something that he also emphasized in visits to iowa and nevada does trump's focus on educatio in iowa. is that a sign that he see desantis as his principa threat in the republican primary? >> you know, not only does donald trump see desantis as
1:07 pm
the principal threat but i think everybody in the republican party looks at that now that way, you have to se the polling to see tha desantis's distinguished himself as the clear alternative to trump at this point. it is still very early in th process. and that can change. desantis is touring. and maybe he has trouble wit the retail politics once h gets out into other states once people start looking, you know, more on his record education is a big issue her in iowa. the governor can kim reynold pushed her plan for you know basically universal school choice as she calls it and iowa and it helped her wi legislative seats. she was able to get that through, so i think both trump and desantis understand it is top issue for voters here. >> thanks so much for that on the ground perspective, john, have a great time there in iowa now, my political panel join me with keith boykin who is former clinton white house aide, and the author of race against time the politics of a darkenin america. also with us as susan del for,
1:08 pm
co a republican strategist and msnbc political analyst, welcome to both of you let's start with you, susan, let's just say that donald trump does become the firs former president to ever b indicted would you expect that hi opponents would use this against him in the primary hunt? or have the cries that this is a witch hunt over the years, make this a dead end for primary voters >> it depends which primar voters we are talking about. donald trump as we know has pretty solid base of 35% and that will certainly get hi through a primary affair is, you, know ten candidates running. what i am looking to see is if the former president i indicted, what happens in th general election head to hea poll with joe biden. i actually think that is something that would sto donald trump from writin running if it seemed like he would definitely lose, you know, by double digits if those numbers start comin out, not only will it affect
1:09 pm
primary voters full effect donald trump because he does not want to lose >> keith, keeping that in mind mike pence has said that i will be history that hol donald trump accountable but how does that square wit republicans who have refused t hold trump accountable and jus want to move on with this? how are they going to make thi an issue on the ground in iowa going forward? >> well i think that is a good question listen, i am not sure they hav an answer for that because eve mike pence when he finally chose to speak about this at the gridiron dinner, he did so in a forum that was off camera and ignore the fact that h himself has the ability to d something to hold donald trump accountable. he can testify, he can answe the subpoenas. instead of fighting it to th supreme court. which he is currently intent o doing. so i think there is a grea deal of hypocrisy and cowardic on the part of mike pence to make this sort of halfhearte statement condemning donal trump for something we'll know he did if the republicans are serious about holding donald trump accountable than they have t
1:10 pm
be forceful about it they have to testify they have to be participator in the judicial process to mak that happen. in terms of how it affects iowa, i am not convinced at all that an indictment of donald trum actually hurts donald trump in the republican primary i think it actually may help him among another of voters. not just his base but othe people who will feel harder to sort of go against him because he will characterize any indictment, no matter ho justify, he will characteriz it as a witch hunt the republicans will be loathe to fight against that. >> i love the idea of a federa indictment being a plus factor in a presidential race but leaving that to the side for a minute, let's switch gears and talk about the 202 budget proposal that president biden recently unveiled. the white house has said tha this budget proposal would reduce the deficit by nearly three trillion dollars over te years. while boosting funding for childcare, community college and medicaid and it would increase taxes on large corporations and the wealthy while extendin
1:11 pm
medicare solvency an increasing funding for the border here is what speaker kevin mccarthy had to say about th proposal this morning on fox news >> the president's budget is not serious. it is not serious for th current time we live in. high debt brings inflation, an what happens with inflation? we have seen with this bank. interest rates moving. up they are stuck in bonds and others we watch the pain that cause american citizens. this is not a serious budget real leadership matters here don't play games with the debt ceiling. >> susan, it looks lik congress and the white house are headed for a serious death block on this. despite major risks involvin the debt ceiling and maybe eve the prospect of a government shutdown how do you see this ending >> well i think what president biden did was just basically announce his campaign agenda which was smart, i mean, tha is what you do politically i you are in the incumbent this was a wise way of doing it the other thing that he did as he pushed the republicans on
1:12 pm
their heels, saying this i what i am talking about. what do you have and so far the majority leader has nothing. and in fact the freedom caucus the extremes of the republican put out a budget that woul never go past either so i think that both sides kno their budgets aren't necessarily going anywhere the difference is that joe biden can discuss his defend his, and make his -- where the republicans have nothing to offer right now >> so keep, these from speaker mccarthy could not eve anticipated by the white house what do you think they are prepared to do in terms of concessions in order to make this happen? >> i don't think they should b talking about concessions righ now. i think they should be not negotiating against themselves they should be forcefull advocating for their priorities susan is exactly, right no president gives everything tha he or she wants in the budge request. but we also know that joe bide doesn't have a democrati
1:13 pm
congress to go along with what he is proposing. so there will be a negotiation that takes place but he has two things on his side, one is history and the other's mouth. historically speaking democrat have been the one since clinto who have reduced the budge deficit. and the republicans have increased the vector closet. so that is on their side mathematically also has this o his side his budget actually decrease the federal deficit by three trillion dollars, we don't hav any proposal to reduce the federal deficit. because they know that in orde to do that they have to do one of two things. they have to either raise th income by raising taxes, which they don't want to do, or they have to decrease spending, and they don't have a suitable pla to decrease in spending, because they don't want to touch medicare so they say or social security, so they say, and they refused to touc defense. those are the main drivers o the federal budget and if you can't touch that, you are not going to be able t reduce the federal deficit that is why republicans have failed to do so with bush, wit trump, and with othe republican presidents. and democrats from clinton t
1:14 pm
obama and biden have been able excessively to reduce th deficit. it is called mathematics >> thank you for reminding u of moffitt in this, keith, man thanks to you as well, susan coming up next on symone, th fallout over one of the bigges bank collapses in history. as federal regulators scramble to return money to the customers of silicon valle bank why it matters, even if yo don't bank there we will ask the california lawmaker what we can all expec next but first, my colleague jessic layton has today's other top news stories jessica? >> hey, melissa, thank you here are the stories we arhistoo batter parts of california as that status contending with massive evacuations. buckled roads, even landslides these are some shocking images from a small city near santa cruz where severe flooding ha consumed that city after a levee breach nearly 2000 residents in tha community are now under mandatory evacuation orders. as more heavy rain is expected

valley bank in california is rattling nerves all across the
1:20 pm
country and around the world up until this past wednesday svb was the go-to lender for tech start-ups with more than 200 billion dollars in assets, the federal reserve board ranked silicon valley bank 16th in its list o america's top 20 biggest banks by friday, it was being take over by the federal deposi insurance corporation, and the biggest banking failure sinc the 2008 financial crisis. the bank was fdic insured, which is good news first of all, they are depositors but that's not enough to kee big tech companies afloat. this morning on cbs face the nation, fed chair janet yellen ruled out the prospect of government bailout >> let me be clear that during the financial crisis, ther were investors and owners of systemic large banks that were bailed out and we are certainl not looking i, the reforms i
1:21 pm
have been put in place means w are not going to do that again but we are concerned about depositors and are focused o trying to meet their needs >> now, if you were thinking i'm not a giant tech company why does this affect me? well, think again. remember, there is always ripple effect with these sorts of things. for example, the company, at sea, had its money in svb. so, those who make their livin selling handmade goods on etsy site have been told to expec delays in payments some sellers have said tha those delays could prove to be catastrophic to thei businesses i'm joined now by congressma john garamendi, who represents california silicon valley in congress congressman, welcome this week -- >> good to be with you >> great to have you i know that you have bee briefed by the fbi, seattl citrus your department thi weekend. what have you learned, and are there any actions being taken? >> a lot of actions are bein
1:22 pm
taken. the fdic and the treasur department are ver aggressively addressing this bank failure and i believe they are going t be able to do that the information that we have from both of them indicate that's they are searching for buyer. they are likely to find. i believe it's about the end o this hour, and an auction fo this bank maybe completed, o at least all the information from those who want to buy thi bank is supposed to be it. sometime around 2:00, west coast. if that -- amber may very well be something. keep in mind that even thoug this bank is in trouble, it is a terrific franchise for anybody who wants to own a significant bank in the hear of the venture capital and technology community i suspect there are going to b many, many bidders for thi bank, and that it will be back on its feet, and many of these problems will be resolved.
1:23 pm
it may take a few days, i' very optimistic. >> that is certainly good news for svm silicon valley, bu there are many americans aroun the country who remember tha 2008 financial crisis, and also, remember the flurry of lawmaking that followed in the wake of that crisis. they're probably are wondering right now, how did this happen again? how did it happen so soon? so, who or what to blame who or what is to blame fo this failure >> well, first of, all start with management. there's clearly a management problem. the second thing is he has following the 2008 200 meltdown and the financial crisis that occurred there, major piece of legislation wen into effect called the dog frank, and that put in ver specific requirements for bank of all sizes trump came into office, th republicans are in control o both houses, and trump, an they wiped out, or reduced nearly wiped out the regulator regime for mid size banks.
1:24 pm
here, we have a mid sized bank not exactly sure what's all of that meant, of the regulator regime was wiped out by th republicans, let me modify that, was significantly reduced by the republican legislation and so here we are we're going forward, well, maybe we ought to go back an revisit the mistake that the trump and the american republicans made in 2017, 18 >> so, the fdic only covers up to $250,000 for each depositor accounts but this is a bank that served the tech industry and there ar tech company clients wit hundreds of millions of dollar in deposits. are these companies going to get their money back if there is law making tha could come out of this, is the democrat minority in the house going to be able to make thi happen with the republican majority >> well, with regard to th last question, we'll just have to see how all this works out.
1:25 pm
clearly, this is another wak up call for appropriat regulation of the financia industry we need to know exactly what went wrong we don't know that yet we should find out it would be a good rule fo investigations, if the republicans really want to investigate something. they may want to do that we'll look at the relationship of this failure, and mayor change in the law. now, will people get their money back i think there's a very goo chance that they will. as i said, this is a ver valuable franchise obviously, that value of thi company was eroded by th mistakes that were made, and the ultimate closing of th bank nevertheless, all of those customers are still there. if this works out properly, an i believe it will, with purchaser coming in, and kee in mind, we are talking abou the high tech financia community that is always

1:32 pm
>> melissa, thank you so much. you know, i think, really, thi is just further indication tha the folks who fought very hard to overturn roe v. wade were never going to be satisfie with that outcome. and instead now have turned to tactics like one that you ar talking about today, seeking t intimidate and instill fear in people who are working eithe to self managed abortion through medication abortion, o even to try to leave a state where abortion is banned and g elsewhere. and they are not going to stop and the consequence of this, of, course is that it is creating public health crisis on th ground in states like texas an of course, nancy northrop an the center for reproductiv rights are representing just a tip of the iceberg about tha
1:33 pm
public health crisis looks like we are just so grateful for th work that they are doing >> we are going to follow up with that the three women that silv is suing for wrongful death ma also actually face crimina charges here the district attorney in galveston will separatel decide whether or not he i going to charge these wome with murder or being a accomplice to murder what do you anticipate happening on that front? >> i can't really say for sure what might happen, melissa but i can't say, based on what we've seen happening on th ground here, since roe was overturned and even prior to that once the senate bil eight. they will stop at nothing. and they have turned, of cours now, to the conservative court hand picking judges that the believe recovering to be favorable to them in an effort to close down access t abortion care on all fronts. and what that means, of course
1:34 pm
is the result that they hope for. the results yet that they will put women in a subjugated stat and that is the fight happenin on the ground here efforts and the reason that planne parenthood texas votes, afte for reproductive rights, abortion funds, and othe partners are fighting fo people here in our state and elsewhere, every single day. >> so, nancy, turning to you when the has just mentio something that's reall important here, and they want tag to another development i the silver case. silva is not just interested i suing these three women wh helped his ex-wife self manage an abortion. it's also mentioned he might intend to sue the manufacturer of mifepristone, bill allegedl used in the abortion many in texas have already bee bracing for a federal cour decision that could ban the us of mifepristone altogether and the hearing was reportedly scheduled on friday, but any highly unusual move, tha hearing was left off of th public dockets for judge
1:35 pm
matthew customer's court how do you interpret the actions here to keep this of the docket what could that signal about a likely decision in that case >> well, it's completely inappropriate to keep it off the public dockets courts are open. the constitution guarantees it justice must be in an open courtroom for us all to se what the arguments are so, it's very troubling to learn that the judge had sai the down and said he was not going to announce the location or the fact of the hearing until tuesday night. in fact, amarillo, hard to get to so, luckily now, people do kno and will be showing up o wednesday. the most important thing for people to recognize about th case it's completely baseless. what is very frustrating, of course, is that it's a completely baseless lawsuit. the fda's approval over 22 years ago of mifepristone wa by the book, the science, th
1:36 pm
facts, the records there, it was a safety record on the nex 22 years and yet despite being baseless lawsuit, has th potential to rake harm acros the nation, should he rule tha the fda has to tak mifepristone off the markets of course, that won't be the end of it. there will be appeals. but it is highly frustrating that's our courts are bein used in this way to push thi injustice. >> nancy, you are fighting back i want to call attention to th lawsuit that the center fo reproductive rights has filed, backing the other texas women. so, these are five women suing the state of texas one of the women in this lawsuit was pregnant with twins, but one of the fetuses was not viable, then, posed a risk t the woman's own health the state's abortion ban allow exceptions when there ar serious risks to the life or health of a mother, but on the ground,, nancy are those exceptions being made? what does that mean in terms o women's health and win - in texas >> right, exceptions are not being made what it means is it's very dangerous right now to b
