An appeals court prepares to decide what Donald Trump can say about the federal case against him,

as the Republican Party lets him say whatever he wants, no matter how dangerous it gets.

I'll talk to Congressman Dan Goldman about all of it and how Trump's violent language is trickling down to the halls of Congress.

Plus, a judge in Colorado lets the former president stay on the ballot, but rules

that he did incite the insurrection on January 6th. The law firm of Weissman and Katiel

is here to tell us what that means and what happens next. Also today, breaking news out

of the Middle East, sources telling NBC news that Israel and Hamas are closing in on a deal to release

some of the hostages in

exchange for a pause in fighting. And later, my wide-ranging conversation with Illinois Governor

J.B. Pritzker. We talk about Trump's terrifying plans if he takes back the White House and how

Democrats can beat him in 2024. So right now the debate over Donald Trump's incredibly dangerous rhetoric is not just playing out in the court of public opinion, though we see it there, of course.

It's also playing out in a court of law.

Tomorrow morning, an appeals court here in Washington, D.C.,

will hear arguments about what Trump can and cannot say about the federal trial over his

efforts to overturn an election.

Remember, a gag order in that case was imposed, then paused, then reinstated, then suspended.

It's been a lot to keep up with.

So yes, our court system is clearly grappling

with the challenges of trying a former president

and current candidate turned criminal defendant.

We'll talk about what happens during this appeals court

hearing on our show tomorrow night.
