internally so i think it's time that we look very carefully at what's happening inside of china andy jim paying to try to explain this whole notion about how to move forward through his own. philosophy which is do or circulation who wants to now build a robot domestic ecosystem while at the same time boosting investment. to have more cash in the near future would that work do you think that that could be easy thing to do in the in the coming years. well i definitely i think this dual circulation strategy is central to the future of china and certainly for the 4 to 5 year plan but i'd like to go back to a comment that were made about seeds in thought and the complete name exactly sieging thoughts on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era so this is definitely a mouthful and we won't have time to go into it as completely as i think would be helpful for our audience to do but i think it's important to point out here that the unique characteristics of china's is that the ability to interbreed ideology with strategy with policy with operational procedures on the ground and becau

andy mccarthy, jim gray on a monday on the next bill hemmer reports 17 minutes away.ee you then. >> dana: the fight for georgia is kicking into high gear, senator david perdue campaigned with iowa senator joni ernst. in this as joe biden is expected to campaign in the state just a few weeks ago before we find out which party will actually contrl the senate so matt finn has the latest live in atlanta. lots of activity down there. >> a lot of high-profile names descending upon the state and hundreds of millions of dollars being spent as democrats and republicans are trying to convince them to return to the polls in a matter of weeks. joni ernst is in griffin georgia campaigning with the republican senator david perdue earlier today, produce opponent slammed perdue because he has not agreed to anymore debate in in the senate runoff race. >> i don't even see trump defending him. he refuses to debate and as i've said repeatedly, he doesn't want to debate and answer questions, that's fine. he just shouldn't be running for reelection in the u.s. senate. >> vice president pen

they brought it to the headquarters, andy mccabe, jim comey, lisa page, peter strzok could run the casethey say i didn't know what is going on. it is mr. clinesmith, based on what the inspector general said. that doesn't fly, pass the smell test because you guys specifically brought it to the headquarters. you ran the whole thing out of the headquarters. you launched the investigation on a dossier anyone knows, a dossier was completely false and you did it back in 2016 on july 31st, trying to get to the president before he was even elected. elizabeth: then mccabe denied knowing who ordered peter strzok to keep general michael flynn's case open, even though andrew mccabe was running the show there. so again and again, cnn hired andrew mccabe as an analyst. he keeps saying he is unaware of probes he was running, that he doesn't know what was going on in them sort of like james comey saying i was unaware, i was unaware dozens of times. why would you buy james comey's book if he is so unaware of what is going on? you know what i mean, jim? how do you, so that the problem is, and you just po

field office, these guys brought it to the headquarters, they brought it to theey headquarters so andy mcca, jimjim baker and lisa instructed all run the case, now to say i did not really know what is going on it's just mr. clinesmith based on what the inspector general said, that does not fly or pass the smell test because you guys specifically brought it to the headquarters and ran the whole thing out of the headquarters and launch this investigation on the dossier that anyone knows and everyone knows today was completely false and you did in 2016 on july 31 trying to get the president before he was elected. elizabeth: then mccabe denied knowing who ordered peter strzok to keep michael flynn's case open, even though andrew mccabe was running the show. again and again, cnn hired andrew mccabe as an analyst, if he keeps saying he's unaware of probes that he was running that he doesn't know what was going on it's almost like james comey saying i was unaware, dozens of times, why would you i buy james comey's book if you so unaware what's going on. the problem is, you just pointed out, they had a

. >> lisa, andy carr and jim podesta, who worked as white house chief of staff of president bush and trump respective said, quote we disagreed about many things then and since but we agree on one thing, the 2020 election is not like 2000 and shouldn't be treated as such. it's germane because that is the sample the president is using now to not sign off on the paperwork to carry forward with the transition. how important is this clarification they make and this is not 20000? >> i think that's very important and this is what all of the reporting has shown. at times we spent yesterday calling dozens of officials in dozens of states across the country. they said they saw no evidence of significant fraud. many of the lawsuits filed by the trump campaign have been dismissed. there's no evidence here whatsoever that any of these efforts by president trump are going to change the outcome of the election. what is happening here is about the president's ego and him coming to terms with what is quite obviously a loss, that he lost the presidency. the question now becomes how long republicans ar

coordination, in trump campaign on russia they launched this investigation, without any proper predicate andy mccabe jimning this from get-go moved from field office ran this out of the fbi headquarters, now for mccabe to say he didn't mislead anyone is ridiculous the big difference they set out to get michael flynn never forget january 5, 2017 meeting oval office with obama with biden with comey, where they plotted strategy got michael flynn knew they had to cover up what they were doing they has had no proper predicate the way to cover it up could not get the guy former headed of defense intelligence o could not get him be national security adviser to president trump had to plan, a few weeks later what they did to president, michael flynn ridiculous so wrong we pushed so hard to get to the bottom of this. maria: so long potentially criminal, waiting on john durham a criminal investigation doing a criminal investigation means there could be criminality what will happen to investigations, the russia investigation we know massive corruption or even hunter biden scandal we node taking money for deals he d

it was dangerous when he tweeted threats against andy mccabe and his wife and jim comey. it is always dangerous when he lines to his voters, but it is creating an unprecedented and perhaps unsustainable instability to make his supporters, to make half of this country doubt the validity of joe biden's victory. >> nicolle, the way you led into this conversation was so expertly done and touched on a number of chords that resonate in the question. and i think we have to step back a moment and say that donald trump didn't have to do a lot of convincing here. donald trump didn't have to do a lot of lying to the supporters. he picked a scab in which they already believed a lot of this. it was beneath the surface. it has been there for a long time, this -- this overwhelming sense of mistrust of our institutions and our executive and political leadership. it's been there. we've seen it. it manifests itself during my watch during the rnc, it was in place during the bush years. it goes back to newt gingrich's uprising in the house of representatives back in 1994 and even before that

jim. the issue with these pardons is, first of all, i agree with andy mccabe, absolutely, it's not really a surprise because the president has publicly talked about this case, has expressed his displeasure with this case and expressed sympathies for michael flynn as well as many of the other defendants in special counsel mueller's investigation into interference in the 2016 over a period of years. i think there pardon was always going to happen. it's still unique to see it actually occur but it was always going to happen. and it demonstrates that the president never did have any problem with the activity that michael flynn engaged in, never paid any attention to the fact that michael flynn actually did plead guilty. then the attorney general's interference in this particular case by directing a review that then led to the justice department trying to back out of the prosecution altogether just was so unusual throughout the duration of the case. so i'm not surprised that we are here at this point and, frankly, between now and january 20th, i would expect more of these types of pardons and

. >> so, andy, johnson mentioned the former defense secretary. there have been multiple, but let's talk about jimgeneral, one of the most respected generals in this country took that job to work for trump. trump went out, mad dog mattis. now he has said america first is not the best thing and he obviously resigned. the president said that says it all about mattis, obama fired him, i should have fired him sooner. did best work after he was gone. world's most overrated general. does anything change in terms of the broader way people talk when this is now normal? >> well, i have been impressed with that president-elect biden has done in terms of bringing some people who have already climbed a learning curve, if you will. they will be ready to start on day one with some competency. i just hope the trump administration shares the information with them so that they have the capacity to be fully prepared on day one to meet any of those threats, especially in the national security foreign policy arena, but also with regard to the pandemic. i agree with john podesta. the senior executive service, the high

jim clyburn say this earlier? it would have meant a lot for the country. yesterday, the judiciary chairman, lindsey graham, asked andy little of what he gave and what he received. >> if you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application in june of 2017 against carter page? >> no, sir. >> did you mislead the fisa court? >> i signed a package that included numerous factual errors. >> general flynn's been prosecuted for lying to the fbi. you lied to the fbi, and you aren't being with prosecuted. >> general flynn's situation and mine have absolutely nothing in common. i never, ever intentionally misled the fbi -- >> you were fired for lying, were you not? >> i was fired as the result of a deeply unfair and flawed i.g. investigation. brian: unfair and flawed which he referred to which said there was a reason for the investigation. what'd you think? >> i mean, mccabe got mauled yesterday. what you doesn't show was ted cruz absolutely grilling him about the logan act. and, in's essence, you know, this sort of reminds me of some of the hearings we've had on big tech and social media where the sena
