    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faces mounting pressure for flying not one, but two flags linked to insurrectionists at his homes. Senate Democrats now want a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts and dozens of House members are demanding Alito recuse himself from cases related to Donald Trump and Jan. 6. One of those lawmakers, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, joins me to break down the latest concerns about the high court. MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance tells us what to look for as the first criminal trial of a former President heads to the jury next week and why Special Counsel Jack Smith is taking bold new action in response to Trump’s dangerous rhetoric in his classified documents case. And a new book puts a price tag on white privilege. Author Tracie McMillan joins me to break down just how much racism has benefitted white Americans for decades. All that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

    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. We will discuss whether his message will resonate with Black men beyond campus. All that and more on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
