elizabeth: i'm going to ask a team to tee up democrat jamie raskin sound bite talking about this.ois voters, they're the latest state trying to remove trump from their state ballot citing the 14th amendment on insurrection and listen to democrat congressman jamie raskin joining former speaker nancy pelosi, apparently neither of them read the full text of the constitution, basically saying that, yeah, the states are allowed to remove trump from state ballots. watch this. >> well, the text of the constitution is un-ambiguous. it's perfectly clear if you swore an oath to uphold the constitution and violate it by engaging in insurrection or rebellion, you're never allowed to hold federal or state office again. i guess my major question is given the comprehensiveness and air-tight logic of the colorado decision, why would there be any reason to depart from the clear text of the constitution and from the original purposes? i would pose that specifically to the so-called textualists and originalists on the court. elizabeth: how about we pose to him why he clearly did not read the 14th am

joining me now is congressman, jamie raskin democrat of maryland.rump was sort of asked about it at the campaign rally he did in coordination with fox. he doesn't diet. i don't think the facts are in dispute here. i don't think anyone disputes the facts as documented in your report. >> no, he was bragging about it. his narcissism always interferes with his legal defenses. but he openly embraced it, and said he did a lot for that money. indeed, he did. if you read our report, you will see how he basically killed an investigation in sanctions against icbc, the chinese state owned company that was renting space from him, and paying him lots and lots of money. hundreds of thousands of dollars. everybody knows the way he covered up for the homicidal crowned prince of saudi arabia who also was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year at trump's hotels, golf courses, and so on. of course, the big payoff came later with a two billion dollars to his son-in-law, to jared kushner. but the bottom line is, there's really no defense is out there. his sons

congressman raskin, thank you very much for being here.d trump's lawyers argued and their appeal, quote, substantively, the terms engaged in insurrection are unclear and subject to wildly varying standards. january 6th was, quote, not an insurrection, and president trump in no way engaged in insurrection. congressman, as a constitutional law professor, also someone at the capitol, how do you understand section three of the 14th amendment? did donald trump engage in insurrection? >> absolutely, he did. if it were just a mere riot, donald trump would not have gotten the women for america first to change the permit for their protests on january 20th, when they were planning to protests at president biden's inauguration, to january six. he told him it was not over yet. he was the one for the first time in american history, went out and as president and galvanized protests at the peaceful transfer of power. and exactly that time, at one pm. it's hard to see this as a rally that got out of hand, just a mere, right the kind of thing that happens

[inaudible conversations]

congressman jamie raskin of maryland. thanks for being here.really digging in, it sounds like republicans got what they wanted. are you surprised this is where it landed? >> no, really, i mean, hunter biden's team accepted three or four different articulated offers by chairman comer to come before the full committee and the tv cameras and the world, and the original subpoena that was issued came before there was ever a vote and the republicans themselves had been adamant on the point that there's got to be a full house floor vote on an impeachment inquiry before the subpoenas are valid. so he said to issue us another subpoena, and if you want to change your mind and go to a closed-door deposition, fine, but i got to say, i see the logic in what hunter biden's team was saying because yesterday they brought in kevin morris, who was actually visible on your camera before, a friend of hunter biden's who's not an agent for the saudi government or the chinese or the russians. he doesn't work for any foreign government. he's a friend of his who's give

congressman raskin coming up to talk more about it.d trump, according to their findings, received nearly $8 million in payments from foreign governments to his businesses during his time as president. we tick through some of the details of that story, but it also serves as a counterbalance to what is happening on the other side of that committee. they're seeking to impeach joe biden based on allegations, and they are only allegations at this point, that he somehow profited, that he used the family name through hunter biden to enrich the biden family. what is your read on how this sorts out? >> this is a long-time report from democrats on the house oversight committee. the investigation has been going on i believe since 2016. it began under elijah cummings, who was then the top democrat on the panel. essentially outlining, as you said there, that former president trump's businesses took in $7.8 million, at least $7.8 million from entities related to 20 foreign countries. they're saying that this, you know -- a lot of this money is a vio

there really is not much that can be done as to senator raskin's question or congressman raskin's question about what could be done if he does not recuse himself. in the lower courts you can seek and amanda miss to force the judge to recuse themselves if they refused to do so but there is no equivalent at the supreme court level. it is something of the decision of the justices themselves. if clarence thomas decides not to recuse there's not much to be done. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >>> resident biden facing a daunting start to the new year. crises a home and abroad are threatening the stability and solutions will not coming easily. plessy assigned to be reelected. what are the president's top priorities? >> resident biden is seeing a host of challenges pile up at a time when he is trying to convince american voters to give him a second term in the white house. president biden is still on vacation in the virgin islands that he did spend part of the day on the phone with his national security team where he was briefed on what had happened with the earthquak

if you google hypocrite right now, jamie raskin's picture will pop up. the fact he criticizes anyone that doesn't comply with a congressional subpoena, who is a republican, but he defends to the outer limits democrat shows his hypocrisy. look, this is the same thing that bannon tried to do. steve bannon tried to say he did not want a closed door, he wanted a public hearing. we have lots of substantive question. this is a substantive investigation of critical nature to determine why the biden family received tens of millions from our enemies and the world. i think the american people have spoken. they want to know answers. it's not a complicated question yet no one in the administration has answered that yet. >> john: we will keep a close eye on this and the relationship between you and the ranking member. thanks so much. sandra. >> sandra: a lot more news to get to here, developing at this hour, boeking executives have been gathering for all hands on deck safety meeting following the faa grounding of nearly 200 of the 737 max 9 jets. this of course after

here is jamie raskin today. >> on december 6, hunter biden's lawyer said he was willing to accept the request and appear on any date in december to answer any question relevant to subject matter and raised concern about closed-door session. that brings us to today, mr. chairman. he materially in good faith complied with what your requests were. >> he complied with the subpoena. >> kayleigh: jamie raskin saying we work with people who want to testify. in 2022, steve bannon offered to testify publicly and here is your colleague of the j 6 committee. watch. this goes on for hour after hour after hour and you can't do that in a live format. >> would it be closed door w bannon? he could pontificate. >> witnesses come in and talk to the committee, if they take deposition, they are sworn under oaths, it is videotaped and recorded and then we take it from there. >> kayleigh: steve bannon held in contempt of congress. he does not set terms, he has to have a sworn deposition. hunter biden, you get to pick. emily compagno we have bven highlighting the hypocrisy about the biden family and immunit

by the way, jamie raskin, a congressman from the d.c. example of people in washington living in a bubble without having any concept of what's happening in real america where i don't know if you experience this but when i go to the store, gas pump, people yell at me as i what's going on with these high prices people have been hurt the most are people in the middle class whose incomes have not kept pace, i believe inflation rate since biden came into office averages about 5.5% and i think as you said earlier, it's almost double the rate of the last four presidents, think about that. it's almost laughable to say this is a successful presidency. one other quick thing on what you are just covering on the budget, do you realize right now we are borrowing almost $4 billion a day, a day. [laughter] they are considering this a success so we do have to do something about this out-of-control spending. i call biden a cyclist path spender because virtually zero spending because as he's borrowing to trillion a year. stuart: i will caucuses are today,

and foalr jamie raskin to tryy,t to explain that, that's okay. i think it's a bit of a stretch even for jamie raskin and i guess he was a fan of hunter's art. use di then he purchased some of the art. did you talkdnpurchase som abou. did you ever talk about the fact that hunter, as far as we know , doesn't have a job, anyof source of income is if you givet that much money. my understanding is you're only allowed to give somebody, i believe,allowed ive some $15,f after that, it's taxable. is taright. so if it's a loan, doesn't itto have to be on paper? is there a paper trail b? t payn is there interest payments that have to be made as well ? is the >> is there a payment schedule? repayment schedule? >> all that,e he wasul but because he was also hunter's attorney, he couldn't discloseo hunter that.e' so here's a guy saying he's hisn attorney and he's loaning g himr all this money. and in california, i don't believe you're allowed as ann attorney to loan your client money. lots of ethical questions here. lotslots of et of tax implicati. >> yeah, ye

this is congressman jamie raskin.ng about whether conservative justices should recuse themselves from the trump ballot battle. watch. >> i think anybody looking at this in any kind of reasonable way would say if your wife was involved in the big lie and claiming that donald trump had won the presidential election and had been agitating for that and participating in the events leading up to january 6th that you shouldn't be participating -- >> so he should recute himself? >> he should recuse himself. the question is what do we do if he doesn't recuse himself. >> trace: what do you make of that argue? >> for a party who has been very upset that donald trump could not accept the 2020 election results, they seem to be having a very hard time accepting the 2016 election results. that is donald trump have won. elections have consequences. when you're president, you get to appoint justices and judges. one justice happens to have an outspoken conservative space that means there's grounds for recusal is ludicrous. we have to l

joining us now is the maryland congress member and member of the january 6th committee jamie raskin. he's the congressman from maryland. good to see you. thanks for being with us. >> great to be with you, ali. >> what do you make of all the posturing about donald trump about immunity? he makes two separate cases. one, he's immune from anything he did while president, which would tackle a couple of the cases he's involved in. it wouldn't deal with everything. but the other is with respect to the election he was tried by congress and he was not convicted by the senate. you'll recall after donald trump's acquittal by the senate, mitch mcconnell himself said this is a battle for the courts to handle. apparently not for donald trump. >> yeah, well, on the first point, immunity from prosecution for crimes comitted during the course of your presidency would be a standing invitation to do what trump did to try to overthrow the government because you can never be prosecuted for trying to do that. so trump would be setting the template for people getting into office and then doing whatever the

. >> with us now is democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland the ranking mem on the house oversightommittee which release add report on foreign money going to trump businesses while trump was president. first, since you were a constitutional law professor, let me ask you about this case that the supreme court might take up. what specific question do you want the court to address in terms of states and the ability to invoke the 14th amendment to keep trump off the ballot, and do you trust these nine justices to do so? >> well, the text of the constitution is unambiguous, it's just perfectly clear, if you swore an oath to uphold and defend the constitution and you violate that oath by engaging in insurrection or rebellion you are never able to hold federal or state office again. the purposes behind it are clear which is to prevent people who have proven themselves from being untrustworthy in office from getting back into a position where they could threaten the constitutional order again. i guess my major question is given the comprehensiveness and the airtight logic of the colorado d

. >> reporter: congressman jamie raskin led the investigation, finding that the chinese government and its state-controlled entities spent more than $5.5 million to stay at trump properties, including trump tower in new york city, and the trump international hotels in washington, d.c. and las vegas. other countries handing over hundreds of thousands to trump's businesses saudi arabia, qatar, kuwait and india. >> but defying the constitution, he basically fulfilled the founders' worst fears, which is that the president, in order to line his own pockets, would sell out the american interest in favor of particular foreign governments looking for policy favors from the president. and that's exactly what happened. >> reporter: the emoluments clause forbids the president from accepting any present emolument of any kind from any king, prince, or foreign state. for years democrats have alleged that foreign governments were buying favor with the trump administration. >> i believe this is not only wrong and immoral, but illegal. >> mr. president! >> reporter: the new report points to trump decli

>> yeah, and i will quote representative raskin in the forward to this report, which is appropriatelyled white house for sale. he said donald trump violated both the clear commands of the constitution and careful precedence set and observed by every former commander in chief, every former president. you know, it feels like this is clearly unconstitutional conduct, but chris, you started with the exact right question in your lead-in. what is congress going to do about it? because it doesn't look like it's a matter for the department of justice or the courts, and what congress is contemplating we see from the report is at least coming up with some new disclosure requirements for presidents, so other presidents can't get away with what donald trump seems to have gotten away with. >> is there any precedent here, ryan, have we see any kind of similar cases in the past with presidents? >> no, and i think that's part of the reason that democrats are kind of screaming about this report from the rooftops is that when you compare the conduct of previous presidents and previous administrations,

we'll be joined by democratic oversight committee members congressman jamie raskin and robert garciant. >>> plus, on the eve of the third anniversary of the january 6th insurrection, we'll speak with those who defended the capitol that day, as president biden is set to argue in a speech this afternoon that democracy itself is on the line in november.

jamie raskin yesterday i think made an excellent point because they are saying that the immunity goesly if the president is not just impeached but convicted in the senate. here is jamie raskin explaining why that is not a way to get to justice. >> they're saying they have a right to engage in political assassination of their rivals. and if you can kill one person, certainly you can kill several of them. well, let's say then they feel like they might be convicted in the senate, but if they could just knock off three people who are going to vote to convict him, then he would be all right. then they go ahead and murder them. then he can't be convicted, then he can't be prosecuted. >> game, set, match, tim. >> game, set, match because i think -- in addition to normalizing trump's behavior, the next step is enabling it or weaponizing it. and that's what this large codry of advisers, politicians, enablers of various stripes have always done around him. and there are some around him who are along for the ride. they like being in the halo of his celebrity or power or the fact that he's center

[ laughter ] it's embarrassing. they're not even pretending to try to get anything done. it went on and on until finally, a representative from san francisco, congressman draymond green, tried to inject some civility. [ laughter ] >> i look back on the situations, it's like, can't you remove the antics? i'm very confident i can remove the antics. >> jimmy: yes, we've got to remove the antics already. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: draymond is back on the golden state warriors after an involuntary vacation for the antics that got him indefinitely suspended from the nba. this is kind of interesting. green said he told nba commissioner adam silver that it was all too much for him and that he was going to retire to spend more time committing technical fouls on his family. [ laughter ] he said adam silver talked him out of it. he told him, "you're making a very rash decision, and i won't let you do that." whi
