who were the only people that on january six who were alive on january six that weren't on the earth. yeah. because they were above they have met the astronauts. mr. glover. and he was like i was, i was watching you from space, dude like he's like starting out. but no, like it was cool to meet people who were alive on january six. they weren't on earth. it's crazy. but i just thought that was like, oh, man. but other countries have been people from other countries have messaged me on i'm always call it twitter addicts. it's twitter. it's twitter what did they say? they're in disbelief that this is happening because. the us is looked up to this world power. maybe that's our own arrogance that we do that we look. we're the world and. i kind of look at think about it like what your your parenting and you know you fighting with the two married couples fighting in front of their kids and? not in front of the kids. not for the kids. you had the differences my close to it i the us is going through this big messy divorce in front everybody when that people are supposed to be looking up to us

he continually talks about january 6th as a beautiful day. he references it.legally, just for our nonlawyers in the audience, how is it possible that his lawyers can claim it's not relevant when he's using it? >> yeah, joy, i think that donald trump's team is trying to do a classic attempt of what defense attorneys do, of having it both ways. so he as the defendant can't be proud of the rioters that he's been so -- has said publicly in so many different ways how january 6th was a beautiful day, and how it was a peaceful protest. and then attempt to use that same conduct that he essentially incited and say it can't be used in terms of the criminal trial. so as the motion that was filed lays out, not only is the conduct of donald trump on january 6th relevant, it's highly probative to the charge scheme of the indictment itself. >> you know, when i watch the january 6th hearings, which were fascinating and felt like a trial in many ways, one of the most interesting things that i heard was cassidy hutchinson's testimony about donald trump's reaction to finding out

into january. it continues spending at the current levels. they know it'll be expiring around the time around iowa, new hampshire, right before primary season kicks in? if you think it's hard to get modz and the rest of the conference on board now wait until it's about three weeks out before primary season is kicking off and some primaries start in the first week of march. reporter: huh did johnson fall short on this first bill? mr. roy: without getting into personalities with mike specifically, my hope is he would listen to everybody, and put out something that was a bitter pill to swallow but would force pressure on the democrats. what i want would be way over here saying let's go into shutdown and fight over the border. i don't mind sitting here. i'll sit my -- i'll eat my thanksgiving dinner sitting on the floor oaf house. i'd be happy to be here thanksgiving day in order to fight to secure the border. but i don't have 217 votes for that. i'm happen foy try put 217 vets together to accomplish something. cut some spend, try to restrain the

that were in the possession of the january six committee. this is mike jnson making unilateral decision, i'm going to release 90 hours of that footage. how that footage was selected, what it shows, what daer it exposes current members of congress and their staffs to, that's something that mike johnson is going to have to answer for. but it's not as if that's the entire body of security footage that we are looking at. and certainly being put into the public domain because they know that january 6th is absolutely going to be part of the narrative of jack smith wants to bring out at his trial because in his view it's critical to how donald trump conspired to obstruct the counting of the votes on january 6th and deed accomplish that objective. that's the one substantive count that he is been charged for. all the other counts or conspiracy counts, but there is a substantive count against donald trump because that is where he succeeded. >> it's also a visceral reminder for the jury of the gravity of what donald trump allegedly did. just the emotio

pence, of course, mously issuing talking to the january six committee. according to a new report, smith's team is essed pence on allor of questions, even something as granular as the placement of a calmer in his book. pence wrote in his book that he told trump, quote, youknow, i don't think i have the authority to change the outcome of the election of on january six. but pence allegedly told smiths investigators that comet should have never been placed there. he actually meant to write that he admonished trump, you know i don't have the authority to change the outcome, suggesting trump was well aware of the limitations of pence's authority. special counsel investigators also pressed pence on personal notes he took after meetings with trump. one of those notes, written several days before pence was due to preside over e certification of the electoral votes in ngress on january six, reveals that pence momentarily decided that he would skip the proceedings on january six where he was going to preside altogether. these are notes after meetings with trump. th

reporter tour caplan january 6th.s coming. >> i mean, when is this kind of gop conspiracy theory going to work its way out of the political bloodstream? >> well, as long as we elect people like that, we won't. obviously, this is an elected official who was chosen by his constituents. his constituents support this kind of dabbling in conspiracy theories you continue to be there on for politically. it goes without saying, it probably shouldn't, there's gonna be zero evidence of what he's talking about. this is just the fantasy of the conspiratorial right. there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest of the january 6th attack as anything other within what it appeared to be. very clear was. you don't need to see more tape to understand it was. we have her on tape, we show the tape. it's been investigated time in time again. there's no secret cabal, no secret conspiracy out that it's gonna cover this thing, at least we can see, certainly not that congressman has evidence of. >> peter baker, thanksgiving week, i'm always thank

>> it matters because january 6th has been redefined.een a new narrative, a nerve really presented by some folks on the. right on the far-right. and geraldo, to his credit, spoke out against tucker colson for doing that. for promoting conspiracy theories. but it's conspiracy theories that have allowed trump to return to some stage. i've realized -- trump was the platform, shamed out of the public square three years ago. but he was brought back to the center by these conspiracy theories about january 6th. that's one of the reasons what the federal trials are so important. to put onto the st. what really happened and why, and to get away from this nonsense about feds and felt flex and government committees. it's important we speak out against plus lies, and we've got to give geraldo credit here, since we have never been on tv together, he did speak out against. that >> geraldo, do you want to return that embrace? >> i appreciate that. >> no, he doesn't. >> i appreciate, that brian. i always thought you were pretty good on tv, too. here's m

so that was very much the focus of january.done, the prime minister's focus was then on the manifesto and essentially setting the five year term as he expected off on its course with a cabinet reshuffle that didn't take place until february because of the brexit inflection point. because of the brexit inflection oint. ~ . , because of the brexit inflection oint. . .,, ., because of the brexit inflection oint. . ., , ' ~' point. was that reshuffle, i think iran the 14th. .. _ point. was that reshuffle, i think iran the 14th. .. correct. - point. was that reshuffle, i think iran the 14th. .. correct. there i point. was that reshuffle, i think i iran the 14th. .. correct. there was iran the 14th... correct. there was reference to your introduction of a programme called the fusion programme, by which you sought to change some of the mechanics underpinning the cabinet office. in relation to its secretariat in particular. when was that programme introduced by you and what impact do you assess that it had? irate introduced by you and

they can't, and to the point of january, i think we will see this play out in january.u and i discussed last, night i think mike johnson shut the government down in january. he had a way of working with democrats in this current environment, because he could. he is not going to be able to get away with it in january. the reality is, it will take working with democrats, we saw that with the debt limit, we saw that with the -- under mccarthy, and now johnson. mike johnson cannot work with democrats in january, he has to stand up for his right. flank and as a result i think he will take the gamble shut down the government >> so if he does do this, jennifer. you wrote this week that moderate republicans, it will be moderate republicans who. if a shutdown happens. tell us why it would be moderate republicans? >> well i used the term -- i used to distinctly, moderates. because they keep insisting that they are moderates. unfortunately they simply go along with the most. extreme members of their coalition. but remember, when it came to the debt ceiling, when it came to the fir

and geraldo mentioned january 6th and jack smith. i find it surprising that more than two years past january 6th and just hearing more and more reporting about what was going on about the coverage and beyond. why do you think it's taken this amount of time? january 6th was a new reality. and geraldo spoke out about tucker carlson. but the conspiracy theories allowed trump to return to center stage. trump was deperformed and shamed three years ago. and brought back to the center. that's why one of the trafedera trial is so important. to put on the scene what happened and why. and to get away from feds and false flags and government agents. it's important we speak out about those lies. he did speak out against that. >> do you want to return that embrace? >> i appreciate that. >> he doesn't. >> i appreciate that, brian. i thought that you were pretty good on tv, too. here's my one big beef, laura. people can get their arms around this. s i called for president trump's impeachment the day of january 6th. i said he deserved to be impeache

15 followed by new hampshire on january 23. how we are guiding our clients if is president trump with the first four contest iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina he likely will have the momentum going into super tuesday on march 5 to win the nomination. however, if nikki haley performs new hampshire an open primary is a different dynamic that it could be a two-man race. >> were all out of time but before you go i really would like you to explain why you spent last night in times square. >> 12 of my colleagues and i slept out we gave up our beds and we slept in times square on the cold hard ground and pretty hardy new york city last night, were doing this to raise awareness for used homelessness and to raise money for covenant house which is the largest provider of shelter and other services for homelessness in new york city. it's a wonderful fundraising event and lots of money for their important mission and a great corporate funding. >> speak over.org. >> sleep out.org. >> think of her doing that figure for coming by. libby

there's so many january 6th cases still in the washington courts. there are so many rioters still being held accountable. >> the handiwork of fox news. is it going to change under loughlin murdoch or is your expectation is that profit reins supreme? >> profits rein supreme court. they're under more pressure than they were when rupert was on top. >> oh, brian, it's a distressing read but it is an essential read. >> it actually ends on a hopeful note. many of us are in on it now thanks to these e-mails. people know the truth. >> yes, and it actually -- there's great utility in having exhausting reporting on those e-mails in one place. >> some people are still capable of same actually. >> some -- not all of them but some of them. brian stelter, thank you my friend. the book is network of lie, the epic saga of fox news, donald trump. we're going to have one more story for you tonight, report of president biden's deepening frustration with prime minister netanyahu. national security advisor ben rhodes joins me on that coming up next. sor ben rhodes joins

6th from january 7 forward.t wasn't probably some big secret although i think, and tell us which the drink probably expected me to remain loyal. >> that's an interesting story about washington, how much government really d does dependn bright young people who d come n and really do the work. >> not toe belittle, but i'm se you have an incredible staff and maybe not as young as i was. >> younger even. >> everybody thinks, they rely on staffers. it's also important to be able to fight anre apartment to the staffers what you want to aspire to be politicians, to lead by example. >> but, i mean, it's an incredible object lesson in how it was you in that case, it was the young staffers with the ones who are insistingth upon our loyalty to the truth and ethical principle. every might never have known the truth were it not for you and other people in similar situations. .. top levels and continues to this day. and there are still people who believe the big lie, although it's been completely debunked, just in case you th

. >> the donald trump that would be older on january 20, 2025 than biden was on january 20th, 2021. when you get to the point, the presidency is not a job for someone pushing 80 years old. i think that is something that has been shown with joe biden, father time is undefeated. donald trump is not exempt from any of that. >> is it going to work? >> well, we've seen this argument before. we've seen it from nikki haley when she first started her campaign saying we need a new generational leader. >> competency test. >> and now it is implicit trying to focus on joe biden and sort of by proxy also attack donald trump. now it is more complicit. you're seeing people like ron desantis, saying if yush pushing 80 you shouldn't be president. and i wouldn't be surprised to hear from this nikki haley. trying to make a contrast with donald trump and joe biden who they want to face in the general election, but making this a two-person race in the republican primary and until then they will try different strategies. >> it is too late to try an alternative meaning that the trump opponents are dividin

was january 6. he wasn't getting the answers he wanted from the people in the government so he created a little ad-hoc keystone cops operation that led to january 6. jan: when you submitted your resignation, basically he put out a tweet about you and you thought you could leave the department. bill: december 19. jan: and you thought everything was settled but it wasn't according to trump. bill: december 1, i told the a.p. we didn't see -- we had yet to see evidence that would have changed the outcome of the election, and that zoomed around and the president was very, very angry about that and i was going over to the white house later anyway and i knew i was going into a heated situation. and i told my secretary, you might have to pack up for me because he's going to tell me not to go home after he fires me. oh, he's not going to fire you. jan: did they also say well, you still could come back. bill: he always says that, just come back. but he's not going to fire you. i said well, i'm not so sure. so

epps testified to the january 6th committee that the theories had ruined his life.ith a conspiracy theory that federal agents were involved or somehow orchestrated the violencen january 6th has meized into the republican party writ large especially now that house speaker mike johnson has pledged to release nearly all january 6th footage. utah senator mike lee was quick to join the effort to whitewash the deadly insurrection, attacking former january 6th committee member liz cheney after she posted video of the violence on social media. lee wrote, ps, how many of these guys are feds as if you'd ever tell us. taking the conspiracy theories further, lee also reposted a former west virginia legislator who questioned if an insurrectionist in an image was flashing a badge. lee wrote, i can't wait to ask fbi director christopher wray about thist the next hearing. kevin lions, a self-proclaimed idiot who stole a photo of john lewis and a staffer's wallet from speaker nancy pelosi's office and has been sentenced to four years in prison. as for the supposed badge, it appears

it was early january. my mom had a i probably from speaking with my family, if we've ever had a very in-depth conversation about it. but she knew that a lot of people were coming to dc for this rally. i knew we were having a rally, but the view was, okay, it's a rally. we also had one in georgia on november or. january 4th, but she was really nervous about the rally beforehand, up until the night before and morning, she tried to convince me not to go to work, but for me, like i had a job to do right? had to go right? yeah. well, and so maybe thankful i did. i don't know. i mean, one of the dramatic moments in your testimony, the select committee on january six is when you described trump's reaction, the secret services insistence that people coming to his rally, which was kind of the warm up rally for the march and, you know the big scene at the capitol, they're determined action that people have to go through the mags that tells that story, if you would, from your perspective about what exactly happened.

all said the right thing they condemned the january 6th attack.they said trump was responsible. all of a sudden, kevin mccarthy can't raise money anymore. kevin mccarthy wants to be speaker of the house. and i am sure congressman kinzinger can speak to this much better than i do, he goes running back to trump because he thinks he needs trump's help to get money and to become speaker. >> congressman king does or let's bring you in here, you have to wonder knowing what we've all seen how this plays out, was that photograph actually worth it. you lived this both on january six and of course your work on the committee. when you are hearing all of this from the soon to be released book from your fellow congressman and member of that same committee, what is your reaction? >> i mean it's zero surprise on any of this. you asked me was it worth it,? why do i say this, in a similar professionally, if you have nor moral center and your whole goals just to attain some kind of a position, which is kevin mccarthy, then yes it was worth it. he became speaker. he

it's the same a.g., this in pattern that we see play out and the january 6th place.he reason why that the gag order issued in this case was such a bell weather, because it was this case that first broke that it was the first gag order ever issued, and then the one in d.c. followed up. >> i got the puck side illegal part for a second, because the fundamentals of this case have largely been deterred. the stuff to come is having to do with the penalties. and some other legal matters. there's something about the case that is getting under donald trump skin, and it could be one of a few things. you mention michael cohen, it was the first time that they had seen each other face to face since michael cohen's legal trials. there is fish main, who doesn't really dislikes. and there is the judge, arthur engoron, who seems to be taking no -- from trump and as attorney. something is bothering donald trump. he stormed out of the courtroom the other day. what is it that is getting under his skin about this case specifically? >> it's as he said at the beginning of the segment, ali,

but because there's going to be january six 2025? the bedminster asking him to do the debate. locks gave up on that eventually, but there is definitely an attempt to resume the relationship. there's another quote in the book, rupert murdoch saying i had trouble on the phone in 2020 in trump says year 90% good at fox, but i need to be hundred percent good. and murdaugh says you can't have. that is very self-aggrandizing for rupert, blowing off the president, say you can't have a reset. but fox is 100 percent in trump's corner, and if it's not now, it will be by the election. -- >> do you feel like, i mean, it's staggering that there is no semblance of contrition on the part of fox in terms of what it has done here. in fact, if anything, it's doubling down on how things spread, the misinformation, the lies, and really being guilty of mendacity. >> i sometimes feel like the country is facing memory loss, suffering memory loss, or at least some folks, some subset of the country has forgotten what the years 2017 through 2020 were actually

that half of my tweet was actually on january 5th. that i believed that i had ever spoken. and i -- >> i wouldn't mind reading that because i agree with you. i think your series of tweets on january 5th for decisive. they helped uphold democracy in this country. let me read this part you're referring to. you wrote as part of a series of tweets that you put out there sort of to give mike pence the strength to make the decision he knew when he v he had to make. you wrote, "how the vice president discharges this constitutional obligation is not a question of his loyalty to the president any more than it would be a test of a president's loyalty to his vice president, whether the president assented to the impeachment and prosecution of high crimes while in office. no president and no vice president would or should consider either event as a test of political loyalty of one to the other. if either did, he would have to accept that political loyalty must yield to constitutional obligation. neither the president nor the vice president has any

to try to meet a january 5th deadline. now, again, i'm just gaming this out. here is the other thing i would say. if donald trump continues to prevail, if he wins before the colorado supreme court on appeal, there is no split in the circuit at that point. whatever the petition appeal comes to the supreme court, there's no split. he's won in every case and the justices might think they just reject the petition, the attempt to try to reverse the lower courts out of hand. that might be an easy thing for them to do, or they might feel given there's this big cloud hanging over the presidential ballot because of these arguments fully joined now they might have to resolve it so that it's clear going forward for the primary. so i hope that helps give the timetable. i think things will move very fast right away on monday. i think they, as i understand the colorado law, they have to get moving if they're going to appeal. >> people have to pay attention to a level of detail to have this have impact, and certainly we know when it come

on january 6th.en donald trump says something, i think that we as a nation do a big disservice to our own constituents and our neighbors when we don't take what he says that face all you. >> it's so important for people to remember, you talk in your, but you are right or the impact of trump's -- including how trump's tweet about his vice president on january 6th promoted chants of hang mike pence, something that is haunting every time i hear it. you also write that according to mark meadows trump said that he deserves it. really scary, it's scary -- you know a number of the people, former colleagues who are going to be witnesses. are you nervous about their safety when you hear trump's words and you see what he is doing out there, publicly. >> yes, sam, and i know from my experience to, you know, the american people should not ever have to live in fear of retribution from a president of the united states or a former president of the united states. president is, here elected to protect people. not to
