alt-left msnbc host rachel maddow is out with another trump conspiracy theory.are not familiar are her work, she is sounding the alarming. >> institutions will not save you. what do we dough next? what do we do? what do we do about it? the alarms are ringing. sounds the alarm that way. alarms sounded. we are awake. seriously. ding ding ding ding. trish: tonight she is in full liberal fantasy mode. you will hear the tall tale she is trying to push now. first a new op-ed in "washington post" says we should not let average americans choose our next president. the reason? because they voted for trump. instead, the liberal elite should be doing it. it's unbelievable that people actually think this let alone print this. i will read you some excerpts from the socialist manifesto courtesy of the "washington post" after this. every year, our analysts visit thousands of companies, in a multitude of countries, where we get to know the people that drive a company's growth and gain new perspectives. that's why we go beyond the numbers. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

way to go and which is more important more important leader is that there are good counterparts for maddow. when they say that they're open for dialogue with russia because they are not being completely true they are open for a dialogue for them complaining about something to do so your pretensions about as to whether or not a single dime that nato russia council is that they are promoting so hard now. but over but to consider the ukraine and problems in the it's for a moment than that we are responding and they have told stolzenberg about this one we met in the unique nothing you need that has nothing to do with ukraine we have dialogue. western countries that are in charge of the ukrainian settlement 1st of all i'm talking about normandy for a matter of which is france and germany were. and were as americans also joined this ukrainian negotiation from time to time. at least in the last couple of years so we are still in contact with them but nato as it is they have nothing to do with the ukrainian issue they could only worsen it deepen the problems by heaping on saying that they are look

congressman schiff was on with my colleague, rachel maddow, last night and had this to say about one of the committees on which you serve with him approaching former national security advisor john bolton's counsel. oh, we don't have it. what he said was -- to rachel was i can tell you after the senate voted not to hear witnesses, after they voted to be the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses, we did approach john bolton's counsel, asked if mr. bolton would be killing to submit an affidavit under oath describing what he observed regarding the president's misconduct and he refused. are you still interested in talking to john bolton before his book comes out? >> i'm leave that to chairman schiff. i believe if he has information about other corrupt schemes that the president is involved in that we should hear from him. the reason we should believe that's the case in 2016 the president asked the russians to help him. in 2020 he at least asked the ukrai ukrainians. what's in the russia room? what's in the turkey room? what's in the saudi arabia room? we should know. we hav

an nbc report based on a few anonymous online postings led, yes led msnbc's rachel maddow last night. >> news organizations have tracked down messages like these from pro-trump political message boards online which show trump supporters in real time on caucus night encouraging one another to call and call again to clog up the lines. "f them up." >> laura: [laughs] okay, tinfoil hat may not be big enough for rachel. a tinfoil crown would look nice. the posts came from something called 4chan and were from after the caucus had ended. second, there's no evidence that though -- that they were the ones clogging the election hotline. i'm more likely reason, the phones were busy from democrats frantically calling about the faulty technology that was failing them at the time. that brings me to my next point. while rachel maddow and others were mild and wild theories and casting about, the real conspiracy was staring them right in the face. months ago, the dnc secretly hired the firm shadow ink. it was hired to develop the glitchy tech causing all the problems. acronym has deep ties to the part

area 51 braswell rachel maddow, the conspiracy tv channel, msdnc. they might have tumbled on the truth for a second. here with reaction, texas congressman louie gohmert, along with, he is the head of the freedom caucus, arizona congressman andy biggs. louis, we start with you. look, i think in anything for granted here. but you've been in congress for quite a long period of time. we have dealt with liberal democrats over the years. i've never seen anything that's radical, this extreme. takeover industry, run on we are going to lose jobs, take over oil and gas, other industry, and raise your taxes and confiscate your wealth. that is what they are running on. >> that's exactly what they are running on. not only that, bernie that win new hampshire now, thanks for the soviet union, cuba, venezuela, our models we need to follow. that is crazy. yet again, that same gallup poll says at 76% of the democrats are okay with folic entries will and venezuela and cuba models. to have that model, to say all of the things he promises, you give up your freedom and i

let me play you a sound bite from rachel maddow. >> president trump knew what was going on.t do anything without the consent of the rudy giuliani or the president. >> i love how the president says, i don't know who he is. i've never met him. we've seen subsequent recording sthat place lev parnas firmly in the orbit of president trump. some say even rudy giuliani. do you think we'll learn more about that relationship? >> pass good question. it is still pending in new york. it is something people have expressed concerns about with william barr. parnas has said, the reason he wanted to come forward, the reason he turned on president trump is because president trump turned on him first. so yes, plenty of din,at mar-a-lago, these two were together of the but he's maintain that's he was there helping. back to giuliani saying why he was doing all this. lev parnas was the man helping him. so there may be more to that. >> i would go to say that some would say rudy giuliani is a liability. >> the president's friends say he could be a liability. we'll see how it plays out. >> thank you

the "rachel maddow show" is up. >> we missed you terribly. did you have a good time?lace and then i got sick but now i'm not here. >> well, good. i mean, in the end. >> all of it was great. >> welcome back. thks

tonight my colleague rachel maddow will be playing senator romney's full speech on her show. definitely tune in for that. every other republican senator voted to acquit donald trump. so today the impeachment trial of donald trump wrapped up, but that does not mean that the president is totally unshackled and can now do whatever he wants. we still have a constitutional republic. we have a baseline of the expectation of norms what they should be. we should not lower the bar for this or any other president. today doesn't mark some final point. the courts still exist. congressional majorities still exist. congress still has oversight power. the public still exists. there is going to be a supreme court case about what documents congress can and cannot get. today donald trump was shamed and rebuked in a way no other president has in history. democrats held a public investigation and all these continues,s said what he did was dangerous, what he did was wrong. there was a senate trial, however brief, and a senator from president trump's own party looked at the evidence and risked his

here's what tom perez the chair of the dnc had to say to rachel maddow on this network. >> i want to make sure that every iowa voter knows their vote was counted and that every voter across this country knows that their vote was counted and we take the commitment to accuracy very seriously. >> he wants a recount. there's a deadline for candidates to ask for that coming up mid day today. what's your sense of whether that will happen. >> hallie, i'm standing outside of the iowa democrats' hq here. we haven't received word on if that deadline will be pushed and we're not hearing any word from the campaigns just yet. it is interesting to note that perez is calling for this recanva recanvass. he says he wants a precinct by precinct recanvass, he isn't in a position of that is right that the iowa democrats have to entertain because he's not working for a campaign. so it's really on the campaigns to decide that they want this recanvass and two democratic leaders familiar with this situation tell me how close the dnc is working with the iowa democrats. they hired a cyber security consultant

. >> sean: and emily, as i look at the media landscape, you have area 51, roswell rachel maddow, statecnn, "washington post," "new york times," three networks, and we have all opinions on this network. they can't stand that there are other opinions come apparently. but it's the level of arrogance. all of these media people, i've learned, they all talk to each other, and they live in this bubble. no, i hate-trump media going no, i doubly hate-trump media or no, ni hate, hate, hate, quadruple e hate-trump media go they try to outdo each other, and they feel good for patting each other on the back, and it's like, they are living in their own little bubble, and i don't think they have a clue what this country thinks of the president.ks i think the president is loved, as we can see in these rallies, and they look down on us, don't they? as evidenced by cnn and don lemon last week or the week before. >> yes, they do, and they have for years. it isn't insulated, insular, repetitive, echo chamber. the other night, i was at a dinner in new york city, a large group of people come all across the

rachel maddow show begins now. >> that's what i want to see, you with a big audience after a live political event so you can say what you think and you can hear what everybody in the room thinks. >> there you go. your dreams are coming true tomorrow. >> i love it. thank you. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. 2002 was a sort of atypical year when it comes to mid-term elections. in the previous presidential election george w. bush had just been elected president, but that was sort of a maybe, right? a contested election result where the ultimate winner of that presidential election was effectively decided at the united states supreme court in a 5-4 vote. that alone would put a little noise in the signal in terms of what you might expect from the next national election following that totally unprecedented debacle of a presidential election in 2000. but then it was further compounded in september of 2001 when the 9/11 attacks happened and whatever shock the body politic had experienced by the contested and indeterminate 2000 presidential election. well, the 9/11 attacks further sc
