and that's tonight's reidout. joy returns monday. be sure to catch my podcast, a word with jason johnson. joy is my guest to talk about her amazing book. med gar, murrelly and the love story for america. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight, on "all in,"

gunfire bomb on a moscow concert hall. three days to pay. did donald trump come up with half a billion? >> a thing called truth social. >> tonight, who will donald trump owe, if he makes his deadline. and inside the calamitous collapse. >> we will tell our voters. i'm chris hayes.

has not been independently verified by nbc news. so according to russia's prosecutor general, several camouflaged men broke into the crocus city hall. and began firing weapons indiscriminately. ahead of what was said to be a soldout rock concert. one russian journal ist was present in the attacks. the men were throwing incendiary bombs as well. a fire subsequently broke out at the venue. one russian news agency at risk of collapsing. hundreds of firefighters were

dispatched at the scene. and efforts were under way to evacuate those who were trapped inside. russian officials say they are investigating the attack as an attack of terror. as i mentioned earlier, isis k has claimed responsibility, though they have not offered proof. u.s. officials say they believe isis is responsible for the attack. so we don't know exactly what the motivations might have been. for his part, pentagon spokesman john kirby said there is no indication at this time that the attack was linked to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. >> is there any indication that this is related to the conflict in ukraine. >> there is no indication that ukrainians are involved. it is early. >> volodymyr zelenskyy also denied any involvement in the attack. there's not a huge amount of western press in russia, because of what is happening to reporters who have been detained in prison there since

the war started in ukraine. one thing we know from the u.s. state department. two weeks ago, the u.s. embassy in moscow warned americans of the potential for imminent attacks by extremists in the city. here's the quote. they plan to target large gatherings to include large concerts. and u.s. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings. they foiled an attack by an attack on a synagogue. statement from u.s. intelligence was significant. a red flag for imminent danger. the state department is a very big step. that did not just happen automatically. that suggests to me that we had very clear intelligence to

worry about precisely what we are now witnessing today. >> speaking of russian security services this week. russian president vladimir putin dismissed those very warnings from the u.s. embassy. financial times recording this shows blackmail and the attempt to scare. >> author of war and punishment. putin, zelenskyy and the path to invasion in ukraine. julian is at puck news. and they both join me now. mikhail, let me start with you. and first of all, just your reaction that -- a country that you cannot be in at this moment. i'm sure you have many loved ones and friends in moscow. and how this news has filtered out from there. >> feels terrible. i've been to crocus city so many times. it's not only a concert hall.

that's the biggest shopping mall in moscow, with several theaters with -- it's huge. the capacity is those of thousands people. and in these moments, already very polarizing. and a lot of journalists and bloggers, pro-kremlin bloggers are ready to blame ukrainians and americans for the terror attack. and a lot of people do not believe, and even the person known to be the chief prop gandist of russia. she does not believe that it would be planet safe. she has written that the trainer s offered their

condolences of the victims of their dogs, meaning even if it was islamic state, the organizerless of the terror attack are still americans. >> this is the first thought i think people had, when we heard of this, obviously. we have been thinking about russia primarily, in the context of the ongoing war with ukraine. and julia, the information that may now happen. first of all, figuring out who did this and how. but then how that is understood and interpreted by a russian public is going to be pretty crucial. >> and yes. and you can see that the russian state authority was taking their time for the first few hours while this attack unfolded. you saw kremlin sticking to the entertainment programming that they had, on schedule for

friday night, right? and we've seen this happen before, when others happen. they take a little while to figure out what their talking points are going to be. distribute to the people that know them. and then they finally tell people what happened. but basically, russians were finding out about this through telegrams, through social media, while russian state tv showed a russian knockoff of "the voice." >> and mikhail, obviously russia is not a stranger to horrible and catastrophic terrorist attacks, particularly by jihadist groups, one of the most awful in the elementary school several decades ago, i believe. but there have been a number of them. it also seems to me that the current sort of orientation of politics in the country, unlike the years of, say, the war in

chechnya, or even in syria, are not facing in that direction. they're very focused on the u.s. and ukraine, as you said. >> yeah. obviously we remember that after that terrible terror attack you mentioned. the reaction of president putin was amazing. he blamed the west for the attempts to dismember russia. and he -- he blamed the united states, even 20 years ago -- >> wow. >> for trying to tear off a piece of russia. and you know, actually, all the reactions right now. i'm afraid the reaction right now is going to be very disproportionate. and i'm really afraid of another witchhunt. because they are going to blame, obviously, a lot of people opposing the war. so i'm really afraid of another wave of protests in russia. >> that's such a good and

important point. julia, you're nodding your head as well. there's also just -- i left. i mean, i'm scratching my head over here because it is obviously a firmly-controlled security state. russia, in the hands of vladimir putin. i don't think you could really call it an open society, right? and yet someone pulled this off beneath the noses of the russian security state, with -- apparently, i mean, the fact that the american embassy warned so specifically. extremists, concerts, large gatherings two weeks ago. so specifically knocked down putin in a different information environment, i would imagine this would be the source of incredible recrimination of the source as well. that's likely not to happen here. but this is just an enormous security fail. >> five days after putin's election, if you want to call it that. you know, putin came out swinging and said he won with

87% of the vote, which is absolutely comical. 77% turnout, also comical. he eliminated his last political opponents in an arctic prison. he has clamped down ferociously on independent media, on any kind of peaceful protests on any kind of defense. and seems to be fully in control. that was the message coming out of this quote/unquote election. that he is fully in control of the country. and he is the only one in the world who has russian security in mind. right? that's why he's fighting the west. he's fighting for russian sovereignty. for russian value, et cetera. and now, five days later, we have this. because it turns out, when all your -- your security apparatus, which is one of the biggest in the world, i mean, the contration of police per capita in russia, is astonishing. it's up there with north korea and china. this is a police state. but it's policing the wrong

people again. it's excellent. we see some of these special police units trying to storm into the city, into the concert venue tonight. we saw them try to fight in ukraine, earlier, two years ago. and it turns out, they're not very good at it. they're only really good at breaking the legs of hipsters at, you know, peaceful protests, against what putin is doing. you know, it's interesting that isis claims responsibility for this. isis is legally an extremist organization in russia. you are not allowed to be affiliated to it, to donate to it, et cetera. you know what else is an extremist organization as of a few months ago? the global lgbt. there have been elevation of raids at gay clubs. when you're hunting, people having parties dedicated to

positive sexuality, and trying to pump in terrorists, this is what happens. >> the warning, i actually had missed it, i admit it. that the u.s. warning from something imminent had risen to the point that putin himself responded to it. which is striking. this is him on the 19th of march, talking about it, knocking it down, basically calling it propaganda. take a look. [ speaking in a global language ] >> it's so striking to have him on the record, saying that about this warning. five, four days before this happened. >> that's russian propaganda. it's right, right now. that was not a warning.

that was a threat, right? popular tv host. they mean that -- that's a smoking gun. americans it were threatening russia with a terror attack. and here it is. that's what everyone says. from the pro-kremlin bloggers and journalists. now, i feel that that wave is going to grow. okay. if not american isis. but they are going to play that game that isis is of the united states. that's easy for all russian propaganda. >> thank you. it's really wonderful to have you both on a very sad night. incredibly horrific scenes out of moscow. and of course, thinking about the people there that are worried and scared. thank you both. appreciate it. >> we're going to keep monitoring this throughout the night on msnbc we have a lot

three days left to have someone issue him that bond. if he wants to avoid coughing up the cash while he appeals. at the beginning of the week, they claimed it was, quote, not possible for him to obtain the form out of judgment. comes to $454 million. they said this trump had been rejected by 30 companies who issued a bond. that sparked a whole lot of speculation about how he may have to sell off some of his assets or that they could even be seized by new york state. trump, of course, owns a significant amount of valuable property in new york and other states. but today, the ex-president appeared to break some news about his financial status. in a lengthy, all-caps claim on truth social, trump claimed he had enough money. said, quote, through hard work, talent and luck, i currently have almost 500 million in cash. if that's true, why would

nobody give him a bond? either the lawyers are lying or donald trump is lying. you can probably guess which is more likely. but it is certainly possible trump will be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and secure a bond by monday. in fact, there's a huge development today that could just do the trick. although it's a little unclear. trump's media company, which includes truth social became a social media company that became a merger. the "new york times" explains that trump median technology group was poised to debut on wall street around $5 million. the ex-president owns about $3 billion. some are used as collateral for loans. but because trump controls so much of trump media, and because his allies are expected to make up the majority of the

board, the members of the board could waive the restrictions on requests. got all of that? so with the clock kicking? i don't know. can he get it done monday? let's ask adam reese. adam, great to have you here. >> thank you. >> all right. he says he has the cash on truth social. if he had the cash, we probably wouldn't be in this situation, right? is that a fair determination? >> yeah. when the e. jean carroll case happened. he had the bond but was still asking the court for more time. it's possible he actually has the money right now. i don't think that's the case. so we're going to get to monday, and it's going to be a showdown. >> showdown like where? showdown at court? like with judge angorran? >> we need to keep a close eye on the docket. judge angoran is tightening the screws on him. the trump organization, essentially, can't do anything without the court and the monitor knowing. she is on top of it.

she's been there for about 16 months. anything they do. transfers of funds. financial accounting. moving moppy from money from one source to another. >> one way this could go down is this media merger. right? trump media is merging with this company. like one of these special vehicles back, right? and this happened today. the digital world. that's who he's going to merge with. their stock price plunged more than 13% friday. because trump will own roughly $78 million shares in the merger. it cuts the deal by around $457 million. which is rough. that's how much he owns. but the stock could decline. because the deal is happening, could you then go use your stock as collateral to get a loan for the bond.

he has 60% of it at $3 billion. can he sell that? it's locked up for a period of time. >> even if it gets unlocked, can he sell that stock? to me, it's essentially monopoly money. why? obviously you can't go into a market with 60% of the shares, without utterly destroying the value of stocks. >> also, you need enough people to want to invest in truth social. >> yes. you have to find buyers. >> right. >> but i guess in the shorter way, you don't see a way that he uses some waiver for the board over the weekend. to then take stock as collateral for a bond. >> it doesn't appear that that is even possible. >> you don't think that's happening? >> that's not a scenario that is feasible at all. >> when you say showdown monday. walk me through what we are anticipating. >> i think the attorney general is not going to slap a sticker on trump tower. that's just not their style. >> there are many people who

would like to happen. i'm just pointing that out. i agree with you. >> fbi agents, with fbi jackets storming the place. >> or like the chains. a master lock in front. i think it's more likely, we're going to see some type of attachment to maybe his schwab accounts. he used schwab accounts to pay e. jean carroll. more liquid assets is something they're more likely to take, than some of his buildings, which not only have lost value. but are leveraged and already encumbered. >> it's funny. when we put up those graphics. some of those things like trump tower. there's a bunch of condos already sold. it's less than it might appear. there's other buildings that have big outstanding loans against them, mortgages, essentially. let me ask you your attention. charles schwab. again, this is way outside of my normal area of expertise. but i guess can the government

just like leech into your account? >> they can now. they've already gotten the court order. they don't need to go back to the court. they can go to the sheriff, if that's the case, and they can do it. they could have done it weeks ago. but they've given the trump organization a grace period. that takes us to monday and that's the deadline. there's also a hearing in the criminal case. judge angorran. where they're going to determine, right? when the criminal case is going to happen. is that right? >> right? >> it will probably be roughly a two-hour hearing. we're going to talk a lot about discovery. there's been a lot of debate about the sound discovery, the late found discovery on the part of the district attorney that trump's attorneys are very upset. we just got all of this

material. yes, there are only 270 pages or documents that are related. but maybe we need some more time. >> right. >> the prosecutors from the district attorney's office, are going to say, we've given you plenty of time. enough is enough. we're ready for court. we're ready for trial. let's do it. april 15th. i think the judge wants to stick to that date. this week, we had stormy daniels come to town for the first time to speak to prosecutors. she actually left the office hugging lead prosecutor susan hoffinger. so she's here. she's getting prepped by the prosecutors. and i'm told these prosecutors. they know everything about michael cohen, the payment to stormy daniels, in detail. the dates, the times, everything, in detail. and they're ready for trial. >> so are we going to find out on monday, if the trial is -- when the trial is happening? >> it's likely, yeah. >> all right. well, that was really clarifying in every direction, adam reiss, thank you very

yet another republican congressman has decided to quit has job, rather than deal with the dysfunctional house. relatively young guy. and he's kind of a standard

conservative. he voted with trump most of the time. in favor of tax cuts. against abortion. today, he announced he will be leaving congress. wait for it. not at the end of the year. april 19th. he can't take it. he's not even going to serve out the next 10 months. which will leave the republican party with the slimmest majority in history. last month, george santos. then colorado ken buck resigned. he's not waiting out until the end of the term. and now mike gallagher is like, peace, everyone. as of now, republicans have a 218-213. they can only lose two votes. once gallagher leaves, they can only lose one vote. if one single republican deflects, they lose the vote. they will need democrats to help pass legislation.

the 118th congress is in utter shambles. so you can understand a bit why gallagher and buck won out. first, a majority of republicans voted against speaker johnson's spending bill. then marjorie taylor greene filed a motion. >> today, i called a motion to vacate, after speaker johnson has betrayed our conference and broken our rules. this is basically a warping, and it's time for us to go through the process, take our time, and find a new speaker of the house that will stand with the republicans and our republican majority, instead of standing [ inaudible ] >> senior national political reporter for nbc news. been covering this bad day for house republicans, as he writes it up. and he joins me now. >> let's start with gallagher. i want to stress to people. this really doesn't happen that

much. i mean, you've got kevin mccarthy leaving. ken buck. now gallagher. how did this land in the capitol today? >> well, it was shocking to many republicans, chris. it's exceedingly rare to see this many prom members resigning. gallagher was pegged a rising star in the party. he's just turned 40 years old recently. and he's decided he had enough. his one vote was on impeaching alejandro mayorkas. he didn't think that was a good idea. but other than that, he's voted with the team. not someone bucking the party lines or making demands of the party. that was a particularly shocking situation that gallagher is leaving. kind of a reminder that institutionalists in the party are not very happy these days. >> let me just note that mike

gallagher and buck, along with tom mcclintock were two of the three. right? so people who were eyeing the exits were like, nonsense. >> first of all. my understanding, according to wisconsin law, there would be no special. if he left earlier, like april second. waiting until april 19th, means the seat stays open the rest of the year and republicans can't get that back? >> yeah thrafplt does seem to be the situation here now. which makes it even harder for speaker johnson to govern the rest of the year. he is looking at a one-seat majority. it's going down, down, down. there is one saved democratic seat could be filled. which makes the margins even tougher. in the absence. and ken buck is a conservative

hardliner. he's a member of the freedom caucus. he is so conservative, in fact, that he caused his party a senate seat a year ago, for being too conservative. and now, he's essentially been air-brushed out of the party. because last fall, he started demanding the new speaker stand up and reject the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen. he wanted an emphatic statement that it was won by joe biden and donald trump simply lost. that didn't sit well. to the point he's decided, i don't even want to finish my term here. i'm out. >> it makes sense for that to be a litmus test in any main stream. >> it seems the actual voting today means we're going to get a deal in the senate. i don't even know what they

want. they don't know what they want. the whole thing is such a mess. there's no governing unifying vision. seems to me, that there's nothing binding the whole caucus together. no shared vision of what they want to do with the levers of power. >> well, chris, i read the marjorie taylor greene thing today as basically a warning shot. it's saying, you have to find the votes to stay in power. it's not clear to me that marjorie taylor greene even has the votes to remove mike johnson. i cannot name a single republican who came out and said they would vote if that vote came up today. in fact, two of the gop lawmakers who voted to remove kevin mccarthy last fall are, i spoke to them. both of them told me -- well, mack gates said he explicitly opposes a chance to vacate the chair. and mike gooden said he was not going there. he was not going down that road today. he just wanted to talk about

the policy of the bill. and in terms of the governing fracture that you pointed out. that's another serious problem here. you saw that a majority voted against that government funding bill today that speaker mike johnson struck with democrats. this is a divided government. >> but that's a huge deal to lose a majority of your own caucus. like functionally, it renders them a use little majority. because you can't actually pass a thing with a majority of them. >> that's been the problem that speaker johnson has had for a while. he can't even pass a so-called rule anymore. because a number of his members will defect. he has to do this so-called suspension of the rules, that requires two-thirds to get anything done. and that requires two-thirds of majority today. they needed 67% of the chamber. they got 68% of the chamber. that bill almost failed because of the republican infighting. but nevertheless, it did pass, which is important.

he got it through. now it's gone over to the senate, which is struggling to get agreement to pass this. we might be stumbling into a government shutdown tonight. of course the one thing this divided congress for all of its problems was able to do was avoid a government shutdown. months and months of negotiating. we're halfway through the fiscal year. i don't think i've ever seen an appropriations process like this before. >> sahil kapur, thank you so much. supreme court drags its heels to help donald trump. more on the dangerous game the court is playing that could jeopardize it all. ahead.

some new reporting in the new york times that goes behind the scenes of the department of justice under attorney general

merrick garland, highlighting the slow pace at which the doj pursued its investigation of donald trump., quote, in 2021 it was, quote, simply inconceivable, said one former justice department official, that trump, rebuked by many in his own party and exiled at his florida estate mar-a-lago, would impose on the investigation. i have to say i thought that quote was pretty damning because anyone paying attention at the time knew, trump's return was not at all inconceivable. it wasn't guaranteed to but not at all inconceivable and it reveals that with the exception of the january 6 committee, there's been a widespread, utter failure of nearly every political and legal institutions since the insurrection to apply the bare minimum rule one could imagine for a democracy such as ours. if a person intends to return from port astray democratic system, you cannot let them run for the highest office again. and there have been so many opportunities to prevent that from happening, from the impeachment vote, which he was

convicted would've disqualified him from office, when mitch mcconnell decided to let him off the hook, to the possibility of a much earlier secretion by the department of justice, to a literal constitutional amendment which explicitly bars insurrectionist from office until the supreme court decided to rewrite it on the fly. to the supreme court's current delay in settling the immunity question, which they've now pushed to the very last day of their oral argument session. three of the justices were appointed by the very nanoseconds demand accountability. now the justices could still move expeditiously after they hear arguments, to make sure there is a trial before the election. or it could be the final institution to fail, allowing him to stand for office without the public learning whether he's guilty of the greatest crime since the civil war. as new york times opinion columnist jamel dewey points

out, quote, supreme court is making a bet that it is truly unaccountable. jamel dean rejoins me now. i feel like i need to kind of constantly touchback to a basic and simple to regain my sanity, which is the one that i just enunciated. in any democracy anywhere, if someone entrusted with power by the democracy attempts to end it, attempts to subvert the will of the people, to overturn all of it, that should be like a one strike and you're out situation. and i don't think that's a radical notion, but it really does seem like that's not a consensus view. there is so much chin stroking about this but you agree with that, right? >> yeah, i mean i think it's a pretty clear-cut thing, right? if you try to overturn the government, if you try to overturn the constitutional order, then sorry, you can't hold office anymore. we are going to find some way to make sure that that's the case. it appears, as you point out, it appears not to be a consensus. i often struggle with why that's the case. obviously some of it is partisan feeling, right?

this guy is one of our guys and we don't want to do that. some of that is likely fear. this guy has this sort of magnetic hold over so many voters. we don't want to be on the wrong side of that. some of it, i think, is american exceptionalism in the worst way, right? it can't happen here. we've been a democratic country for so long. it's so deep-rooted here that it's simply inconceivable that anything could -- nothing could ever get that bad, and i think there's some of that happening here. i'm always struck knowing that in the aftermath of the civil war, although there were people who were not allowed to sit in congress, who were removed from congress, even, jefferson davis died in his bed, right? he died comfortably in his bed, so it's not as if the country has that much of a past precedent or legacy of really taking seriously what it means to deal with political elites

who tried to undermine the entire constitutional order. >> and in fact, to go back to section 3 of the 14th amendment, which you've written on and you mentioned in this piece about the court, and you and i both kind of share a passion and love of history around this period. a lot of those, there is a provision for industry which was granted across the board a ton. in fact, a lot of the folks who should've been disqualified were affirmatively allowed back in as part of the kind of price of selling the country back together, in the eyes of essentially white political elites. >> that's right, and i think some of that dynamic is happening here. you just want to move past, leave it behind us and i think that speaks to just a real short sightedness and it speaks to something that is actually different here, that is even the confederates, i can't believe i'm saying this, even the confederates, they had a vision of the constitutional order and their argument was

that abolishing, ending slavery is a violation of the order, and that's why we have to leave. the constitutional orders as we get to have slavery and if we can't, then we have to go our own way. what's distinctive here is that donald trump does not believe in the notion that he is bound by rules whatsoever. >> there is no alternate version of the constitution order. just the vision of his absence with him running things the way that he runs anything. >> exactly. say we are not going to land too harshly on this guy is actually fundamentally ignoring the issue here. this is someone for whom, if you allow him to operate as if he is an ordinary citizen entitled to holding office, he is going to try to get that office and then immediately use

that power to try to subvert the entire system. >> one of the checks on it of course is the supreme court, which you write about in this column, saying it's failing this kind of test. you talk about his favorability rating, which we can show here, that shows that it is just limiting, particularly post- dobbs decision. you saw the high of 70 there and now it's gone down to 44 point there is other polling that shows even lower than that a majority now disapproval or unfavorable. land what is the dangerous game you think it's playing with the way it's conducting itself right now? >> i think it's just in danger of losing whatever legitimacy it has and from a certain perspective the court might say, especially the six votes conservative majority might say who cares, who's going to stop us, but although there has never been a case of a supreme court judge being removed, it has happened that the public has turned against the court enough to really undermine its ability to actually do anything with its nominal power. the reason the court has power

is we all kind of agree that it does. so if all of a sudden the constitutional system, other actors in the system say, i don't know about that, then the court really begins to lose influence. i think that's be dangerous game that it's playing. because it's acting as if the public does not matter, and they can kind of do whatever it wants. it is really risking a situation in which a critical percentage of the public just decides to say, no, we don't have to listen to you at all. >> that's the kind of crisis situation that i worry about and i think maybe barreling towards us. the column is called the supreme court is playing a dangerous game, in the new york times. jamelle bouie, thank you, sir. that is all in for the week. alex wagner starts right now with my good friend ali velshi for alex burg is been a lot of news to get through tonight. you have yourself a great weekend. see you next week. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. with the glaring exception of mike pence, prominent republican leaders across the country have pretty much
