The Saturday Show With Jonathan Capehart: June 15, 2024

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show’ with Charles Coleman Jr. who is sitting in for Jonathan Capehart this weekend: from fawning over Donald Trump at his 78th birthday party, to giving him a hero’s welcome on Capitol Hill, just steps away from where he incited an insurrection, Congressional Republicans make it clear it’s Trump’s party now. We’ll discuss that with Congressman Robert Garcia, plus how Congress will react to the Supreme Court’s controversial decision on gun bump stocks. Then, the feud that made Milwaukee famous. The city’s mayor claps back in a new interview, after Donald Trump reportedly calls the host city of the Republican convention "horrible." And what could be the last hope for justice for the survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre ended as the Oklahoma State Supreme Court dismissed their lawsuit for reparations. The attorney for those survivors, Damario Solomon-Simmons, will explain what could come next. All that and more on “The Saturday Show” with guest host Charles Coleman Jr. ... Read more

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Donald Trump ramps up his post-guilty verdict tirades, warning if he's sentenced to prison, that could be “a breaking point" for Americans. His MAGA Republican allies are backing him up, demanding retribution. And in a new interview, Stormy Daniels weighs in on what should happen to Trump. Plus, disorder in the Court. With major Supreme Court decisions on Trump and January 6 coming soon, Justice Alito is rejecting calls to recuse himself over his flag controversy. I'll ask Rep. Jerry Nadler, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary committee, about all of it. In addition, the Washington Post’s David Ignatius comes by to talk about the Israel-Hamas ceasefire plan President Biden announced that got drowned out by the legal drama around "the former guy."

The Saturday Show With Jonathan Capehart: June 1, 2024

On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': For the first time in American history, a former president has been convicted for his criminal behavior, while still serving as the presumptive Republican nominee for President. Donald Trump calls the verdict "rigged" and himself “a political prisoner." But here’s the thing; he’s not in prison. And outrage in the MAGA world: Trump's allies, including the House Speaker and several potential Republican vice presidential candidates, are blasting the verdict and unleashing dangerous rhetoric against the justice system and our democracy itself. We'll talk about it all -- the prosecution and the politics -- with Rep. Maxine Waters of California and Politics Nation host, the Rev. Al Sharpton. We also have MSNBC political analysts Michelle Goldberg and Tim Miller and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori lend their thoughts. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”  ... Read more

On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': I’ll dive into breaking news out of Iran, where a helicopter carrying Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi crashed in the mountains close to the country’s border with Azerbaijan. There is still no word on Raisi’s condition and rescuers have been unable to reach the crash site due to bad weather. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute will discuss the implications of this tenuous moment. And standing by his man. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who kept his job with the help of Democrats, decided to show his true loyalty to Donald Trump and ditched his day job to support the disgraced ex-president at his New York Trial. I'll ask Democratic Rep. Becca Balint what she thinks of the Speaker’s attacks on the U.S. Justice system.  In addition, President Biden delivers a high-profile commencement speech at the iconic all male historically Black Morehouse College, his most direct engagement with college students since the Israel-Hamas war protests erupted on American campuses.

Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Oversight committee, is here to weigh in. Plus, Donald Trump's first criminal trial could wrap up next week. Harry Litman and Adam Klasfeld have been inside the courtroom and game out what to expect in this final phase. And Republicans gone wild.
