"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. hi, ari. >> hi, nicolle. thank you so much. welcome to "the beat." i am ari melber. we begin tonight with texas in crisis. more than 14 million people, that's more than half the state are experiencing ongoing water disruptions. frozen pipes burst, a shortage in many areas. contaminated water in others and then flooding. there is a boiling advisory in place for those that don't have running water who have to resort to boiling snow. cities opening water distribution sites. many are desperate. >> it's pretty tough to find bottled water. we are having to boil to wash dishes or do anything. >> north texans are urged to conserve as much water as they can. >> we've been hunting. we're going different places looking for it and can't find it. >> we have no water at all. we've had -- i've had no baths in four days. >> we lost our water. so that's why we -- that's why i came here, to pick up some water. >> more than one million units of water will be given out. >> this is just some of what we're learning about the scale of a humanitarian

i am ari melber. let me start with what we think is the most important thing you're going see on "the beat" tonight, dr. anthony fauci joins us. we're going get into the new covid strains, some of this vaccine news that is so important. i want to ask him about racial injustice issues as well, something we've been covering in the vaccine roll-out, and much more that is coming up shortly tonight. dr. fauci. you'll see him only here on "the beat." >>> we begin with president biden and his win, his legislative victory on this key vote for a sweeping economic package. it comes as a former president is also poised to go on trial. many advisers to president biden say what we're seeing tonight in these duelling stories is verification, a validation of his view that the government and the congress can do more than one thing. now president biden is talking up this new relief plan. it passed this key vote in the senate. it passed in the house. it is on its way. take a look. >> if i have to choose between getting

i am ari melber. we begin tonight with president biden and vice president harris making a push for their first big coordinated effort to rally americans around what they say is the first piece of business of their new administration, getting behind the $2 trillion covid relief plan. biden and harris were out at it today, biden fresh off that big town hall in wisconsin last night. harris on the "today" show this morning and late today meeting with union leaders at the white house. what did you learn from americans last night about what they want in this plan? >> i learned based on the polling data, they want everything that is in the plan. not a joke. everything that's in the plan. i asked a rhetorical question, those who opposed the plan, what don't they like. >> a national emergency, a big problem requires a big solution. you can talk about the dollar amount, but let's talk about the harm that that is designed to address. >> this is what governing looks like. this is what a public messaging campaign

he's one of the invaders grabbing land from ari's family.us territory is a rainforest paradise in the middle of rondonia's farming heartland. we've come here to meet bitate, the leader of ari's indigenous community. bitate is only 20 years old, but, under his leadership, the community has set up a team to monitor and catch invaders. ari was a member of the team. shouting this man was caught inside the territory with a gun. funai — the federal agency meant to protect brazil's indigenous peoples — doesn't have an office here. the closest is 200km away. bitate says the invasions are getting worse and worse. i show him what our investigation has uncovered. invasions happen here with or without facebook, but facebook makes it easier than ever for sellers to find buyers. could we find the invader trying to sell part of the uru—eu—wau—wau reserve on facebook? the next day, our undercover operative, lucas, heads out of town. the seller we found on facebook advertising lands inside the uru—eu—wau—wau territory has agreed to a meeting. just as before,

i'm ari melber. the civil rights act of 1964 is a landmark piece of legislation, passed after intense protests and national reckoning led by martin luther king and if you look it up, a 54-day fill buster in the united states senate. it's the kind of sweeping bill that seems almost impossible to imagine a modern congress passing, but the news tonight is the new congress trying to build on that very landmark bill, holding a vote to amend the law to include lgbtq people to ban any discrimination against them. the step is legally significant. it's also very clearly a 180-degree turn from the recent trump era when that president pushed, remember this, a total been on people who identify as trance from serving in our united states military. a piece of discrimination that also has echos in a new scandal from trump ally marginally taylor green who is clashing with another member of congress over these very issues. in fact, that member on congress, congresswoman newman joins us shortly for an important conver

i am ari melber. welcome to "the beat" on the eve of donald trump's second impeachment trial, with the final clashes between house managers and trump's defense lawyers who argue in their final brief that all of this really just boils down to a, quote, selfish move by democrats to foment political theater. those democratic managers, though, were seen leaving speaker pelosi's office today. a solemn strategy session as they have been planning their case. their case is that this trial seeks accountability for what they call the most grievous constitutional crime ever committed by a president. that's a major claim. arguing that trump's encouragement of the january 6th insurrection is worse than any act by, say, richard nixon, who was of course run out of office under the threat of impeachment and a likely senate conviction. it's also an argument that means it would be worse than offenses by president johnson, who still holds the record for getting impeached on 11 articles total. that is a lot. donald trump

how you, ari? be in this fiery question of the democrats saying there was an insurrection. we all lived through it. trump caused it. and the republicans, through the trump lawyers, trying to say, we don't even want to really rebut that. we just shouldn't even be here. your thoughts on how that plays out for america? >> well, this dynamic is going to continue. what you're seeing is the democrats have taken this very seriously. they're making strong, sound legal arguments. i think you saw senator cassidy admit as much earlier today. the reality is the trump team is treating it like a joke. they're making rambling, incoherent arguments. they're behaving like mob lawyers who know they have the jury in their pocket. i saw that you had earlier compared this -- i think other people online had compared this with "my cousin vinny" where joe pesci starts out as a bumbling lawyer. but in that movie, joe pesci improves greatly as it goes along. i do not believe that will happen here. i do not expect we will se

my colleague ari melber picks up our live coverage right now. hi, ari. >> hi, nicolle. i did want to get your views on this. of course we've been listening to your coverage. but votes like this are relatively rare in congress when there is actually a time to choose. what do you see, especially as we count this hour as the revelation of a vote like this tonight for the nation? >> i think, yeah, look, kevin mccarthy's speech erased the element of suspense. he is all in with marjorie taylor greene, who as 10 steny hoyer just showed what she is all about. she is about a powerful weapon being pointed at her colleagues. i worked for a president who was loathed by democrats, but nothing like that was ever created about him. politics is rough and tumble. that is our country's history, for better or for worse. but marjorie taylor greene is in a class of her own. she is an avowed conspiracy theorist who talked about assassinating former president obama, hillary clinton, and nancy pelosi. and i hadn't seen this image before, but steny hoyer shows it. it's a pattern, not a blip or

he's one of the invaders grabbing land from ari's family.rritory is a rainforest paradise in the middle of rondonia's farming heartland. we've come here to meet bitate, the leader of ari's indigenous community. bitate is only 20 years old, but, under his leadership, the community has set up a team to monitor and catch invaders. ari was a member of the team. shouting. this man was caught inside the territory with a gun. funai — the federal agency meant to protect brazil's indigenous peoples — doesn't have an office here. the closest is 200km away. bitate says the invasions are getting worse and worse. i show him what our investigation has uncovered. we have to leave the brazilian rain forest there, the programme is on the bbc iplayer because donald trump is taking the stage at cpac in florida. let'sjoin them. this is a meeting of the conservative movement, notjust republicans. they are conservative democrats after a while, but you won't generally find them at cpac. i think it is fair to say that much of the audience here will be at least if n

ari melber continues our coverage now on "the beat." hi, ari. >> hi, nicolle. thank you so much for another day of long anchors. we'll see you soon. >> thanks, ari. >> i want to wish everyone a good evening. i am ari melber. our special coverage of this trial continues right now. house impeachment managers have formally rested their case. if yesterday was about the tape, the damning and clearly disturbing evidence of the maga insurrection, today, well, the managers made it about the ringleader, showing evidence that donald trump was in on the attack before, during, and after. let me repeat that, because if you don't remember anything else from today, remember that. they showed the evidence to make the argument that then president trump was in on this the whole time. it's the kind of evidence that can as a constitutional matter cut against any defense that maybe things just got out of hand, or donald trump would oppose and regret what his fans did. lead impeachment manager jamie raskin capping a dramatic day with an appeal for facts and sense. >> i've talked a l

i'm ari melber. and we're following this breaking news, tracking the condition of golf legend tiger woods after his single car crash in southern california. at any moment, we'll get an update from the l.a. county sheriff. woods reportedly pulling from the wreckage through the windshield. he was pulled it through. firefighters say he was alert the whole time. woods was the only person in this car. his agent also saying woods suffered multiple leg injuries and is in surgery. we are awaiting this press conference, as we can see there. it's about to begin. we expect to learn something from this with our experts onhand. let's listen. >> involving eld district tiger woods. joining me is captain james powers and other members of the executive command staff. also joining us here today is l.a. county fire chief daryl osby. now i would like to introduce the sheriff of los angeles county, alex villanueva. >> thank you, captain minosa. today at 7:12 in the morn, lomita sheriff station received a call of a solo v

thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, ari.nto all of it. let's start with the most fundamental question. how did moderna pull this off this quickly? is there anything here that you've learned from overseeing it, from doing it that could guide us on the road ahead? >> well, let me say the number of things helped us be able to move this quickly. first, the company, which was started ten years ago, had spent a vast amount of time and capital preparing a platform based on messenger rna for lots of other applications for vaccines, for therapeutics. and we were busy in clinical trials when we got wind of this threat. initially we didn't know it was going to become a pandemic. second, we have collaborated with the nih, dr. fauci's group the last two years already working on a vaccine for a related virus. that helped us get out of the gates very quickly. and then third, the heroic effort of the whole team at moderna. and of course the partnerships we've had with multiple other parties, all of that gave us the ability to rise to the ch

ari. >> hi, nicolle. thank you so much. welcome to "the beat." we are tracking right now this continuing fallout over the unusual scene saturday night as the united states senate made history with the most bipartisan vote to convict a president ever. a record-breaking number of senate republicans joined democrats to convict donald trump of a high crime against this nation, inciting insurrection. leading to tonight's news of speaker pelosi calling for a brand new independent probe of that maga attack on the capitol. despite the understandable fatigue and skepticism out there, nothing about this trial really went like anyone, even very knowledgeable politicos or news experts might have expected even just one year ago. what i can report for you today which we didn't know going into saturday let alone previously is that donald trump has now been dealt the most bipartisan and most direct really condemnation of any president ever in one of these types of trials. and what we've learned has been m

talking about so are you suggesting because this is the this is where it gets interesting to me mr aris of again a last spoke to his family in dubai when he was in the airport he thought he was going to be a room to speak to pastors somehow according to him the flight lands and he's not in burundi he's in rwanda from where he's been in exile are you saying that the government had no role in luring or tricking him to rwanda. well he is. easy expense to get into bruni that's correct. and it's good to like just because one. just is i'll do one day a country has gone into exile out of but it was it's also a country looking for him one account of the crimes that he is allegedly immoral so not is a country that most probably is looking for him and if the there is a possibility of it through he's got money he got. done up mix there was the investigation and criminal prosecution much easier and i think that is what type of weapons it just that i can get a clear yes or no from you that the government play any role and getting him to rwanda. the government of libya who are in investigation crimes

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. hi, ari. >> hi, nicolle. appreciate your reporting. thank you as always. >> thanks, my friend. >> i do want to welcome everyone. thank you. i want to welcome everyone to "the beat." we begin with the new video tonight. texas senator ted cruz landing back in houston coming from cancun, mexico. he left for cakes in the middle of this deep humanitarian crisis engulfing his state and constituents. right before he got on the plane, he basically made this poor decision he made, an adult, he blamed it apparently on his kids. >> my daughters asked if they could take a trip with some friends, and heidi and i agreed. so i flew down with them last night, dropped them off here and i'm headed back to texas and back continuing to work. >> back to work in texas. as for the claims there, we have a fact check coming up. politically, civically, responsibility wise, it's a problem for senator cruz. we begin with the reason it's a problem, because so many people's lives hang in the balance. texas suffering this horrific crisis that we and so many journali

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. hi, ari. >> hi. >> nicolle. thank you so much. welcome to "the beat." we're reporting on several developments tonight. president biden issuing new orders on immigration. house democrats filing their first brief in this looming senate impeachment trial making the case trump betrayed the u.s. impeachment veteran adam schiff joins us shortly. >>> and by the end of this hour, i can tell you jon bon jovi makes his "the beat" debut. we'll get into that. so we have a lot tonight. we begin with breaking news out of the white house. president biden using his executive power for three new big orders on immigration, showing he'll do what he can alone while pushing new reform in congress as well. the centerpiece today is reversing donald trump's approach to immigration, launching a process for reuniting around 600 migrant children in the u.s. who remain separated from their parents under donald trump's hard-line policies. biden ordering the federal government to do a top to bottom breakdown of immigration policies and finding ways to root out

i am ari melber. as we come on the air, president biden is meeting with ten republican senators at the white house on these evolving covid relief plans. we have more on that ahead. while the top story is damning new evidence against former president trump. which matters not only for his looming trial, which starts next week in the senate, but also for how america deals with accountability for alleged crimes and an insurrection and where we go from here as a nation. in fact, these two stories that i just mentioned to you tonight, they're linked. how does president biden work with a party that has some of its prominent leaders lying about his lawful victory and some, and to be precise and fair not all, but some elected republicans minimizing the violence that left five dead at the capitol. how do you do negotiations over the basics when you don't have any understanding on the fundamentals? there are a lot of smart thinkers who've studied these types of issues in different societies and a lot of progress

your final word, ari?t forget hunter biden also received $500,000 from the wife of the mayor of moscow. why? this is influence peddling. this is what is available to families of first, for the presidents and vice presidents if the family can't stop it, public pressure has to. hunter looks like he wants to keep making money off of these deals. elizabeth: all right. ari fleischer. you're terrific. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you, liz. good to be with you. elizabeth: sure. same here. up ahead, former federal prosecutor jim trusty he is taking this on, more embarrassing information keeps surfacing in declassified government documents on the trump-russia probe. but now government watchdogs warning that the fbi is ignoring orders to declassify all of that so you can see what happened. the story next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) ♪ ♪ comfort in the extreme. the lincoln family of luxury suvs. hi, this is margaret your dell technologies advisor to listen, is to hear more than what's being said.

i'm ari melber. tonight washington and the nation are honoring capitol hill police officer brian sicknick. laid to rest in arlington national cemetery after dying defending the capital. and many say democracy itself. lying in the capitol rotunda is an honor usually reserved for former officials. he is only the fifth private citizen to be honored this way, joining people like rosa parks. against the backdrop of these solemn ceremonies is the fallout over the lies and conspiracy theories that powered the resurrection. republicans vowing to sustain pressure and holding a meeting to discuss potential sanctions for marjorie taylor greene whose trafficked in hate, lies and anti-semitism before she entered congress. >> the so-called plane that crashed into the pentagon, it's odd there is never any evidence shown for a plane in the pentagon. barack obama's presidency. okay. let's keep going. let's keep talking about whatever happened. yes, i do believe he is a muslim. and once it's gone, freedom doesn't come

ari, how big of a deal is this?ly have someone who has been running from any accountability for their taxes their entire public life and career. you have this problem from when donald trump was a candidate and claimed he would release it, then he was president, then we saw the truth was that he was going to keep fighting this. he's been fighting it the whole time. this is a huge loss to him. only donald trump knows why he's so worried about even a private grand jury review of his taxes. so it's significant that he has lost in what looks to me like a complete and total legal way as pete williams was reporting. this is the end of the line of donald trump trying to keep these taxes secret from investigators. >> then even if we can't see his taxes based on this ruling, does this ruling, ari, get us any closer to a scenario where we could? because i can tell you i really want to see them. >> you want to see them. a lot of people are interested in them. i think we all know put the law aside for a second, secrecy tends to

i am ari melber. tonight we're tracking the demands for accountability and the process for getting it. congress probing not only the maga insurrection, but the wider evidence of mounting hate in america. from the auschwitz shirts, the confederate flags displayed on january 6th to a growing white supremacist threat that at times has been minimized for little reasons, which house judiciary committee members probed you see here at a hearing today. officials stating that most idealogically motivated killings are now tied to far right extremists like white supremacists and recounting the warning signs that were there before the insurrection. >> the threat of white nationalist violence has been weaponized. >> the 2016 election of president donald trump gave them a tribal chieftain they can all rally behind. >> the fbi chooses not to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of white supremacists and far right violence. the failure to prepare for the january 6 attack on the capitol is an indictment of the

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> welcome to the beat. i am ari melber. we are tracking joe biden's fist official trip to a rally for broad support for his covid relief plan. you see him harkening back to a model where the presidents go directly to the people, which is a break with the current conventional wisdom that this cannot work. here we are looking at lye pictures of president biden taking off there in air force one. now part of the conventional wisdom you hear is that leaders must now accept what political nihilists have done, broken america into sharp divisions that are basically permanent. biden may be actively proving that wrong as he takes off tonight. it's actually worth pausing and recalling what this claimed conventional wisdom entails. >> the country is in real trouble. we've got a very sharply divided society. >> the divide that splits this nation. >> are we going to continue to exacerbate the darkness, the division? >> there is so much division not only within our party, but within our country right now. >> the political polarization is

we will pass that on to ari. the fight is really being picked by the establishment.ck this fight and it is obvious that they are just feigning their hatred for this incredible organic movement that we have really not seen in our lifetime before. >> yes, but look, we saw that from the numbers that came through in the impeachment in the house and in the senate. so, they don't represent the future of the party, and they know that. and so, of course, that is the death throes of the old establishment that really lost elections and took america down a very dark path. so, i think the writing is on the wall. it's obvious that the maga movement, and the make great again, america first philosophy is what motors want to come and it is an enormous amount of people, americans, who love that, and they are the future of the republican party, and most republicans realize that. >> sean: all right, thank you both. veranda, thank you. ari, good to see you. coming up, the story is bizarre. l.a. county health inspector. guess what. caught on surveillance. you can see it right there.he al

ari, thank you for being here. you write, in the latest "mother jones."of common cause georgia and this is a great quote. this bill is jim crow with a suit and tie. >> that's absolutely right, jonathan. because you look at just the provision eliminating sunday voting. that, as you mentioned, is when black churches do "souls to the polls" voter-mobilization drives. black voters in georgia are about 30% of the electorate but they were 37% of those people that voted on sunday. and this is a real tell here because this has nothing to do with election integrity. giving people more time to vote, on the weekends, simply makes it more convenient. and the fact that georgia republicans are trying to get rid of a method of voting that's extremely convenient for all voters. but particularly, used by black voters. shows this has nothing to do with election integrity. it has everything to do with voter suppression and georgia republicans and republicans elsewhere are weaponizing trump's big lie now to try to make it harder for democratic constituencies to vote. >> you

harmeet and ari, phenomenal analysis as always. threats not coming from the deep state, but woke indoctrination efforts poisoning our education system. the oldest chinese-american association in the country is warning that the infiltration of critical race theory into our schools is reminiscent of mao's cultural revolution peer they are calling on parents to indoctrinate our kids. joining me now is chris rufo, the directory chris, chairman mao believedthas necessary to affect the political change that he wanted for obviously china. >> yeah. what we are seeing in the united states is a similar effort, the idea of an economic revolution based on the lower classes rising up and overthrowing the bourgeoisie is something that didn't work in the 20th century. modern-day progressives and leftists say that we need to infiltrate the institutions of culture and if we can change the culture, if we can destroy the history of the united states, then we can bring about this utopia. luckily, chinese americans who survived and fled the cultural re

ari, how are you?trey, great to see you. >> trey: what do you make of this unity juxtaposed with 50/50 votes in the senate and using the reconciliation process to jam something down people's throats? >> well, first of all, your line about -- i've never heard that saying before about americans would rather see a sermon then hear a sermon. that is a beautiful thing to say. you captured so much of that one sentence. in terms of what we are seeing in washington and with joe biden, the centrist, who wants to be a unifier, his whole soul is in it, i have come to the conclusion that half his soul is in it, the other half is not in it, and kamala harris will cast the tie-breaking vote for his soul. joe biden wants to be the unifier, but he certainly isn't governing like the unifier. if he wants to unify, there is no question to be on a bipartisan path right now, and there's nothing wrong with -- if you've got the votes, shove it through. that is how lbj, lyndon baines johnson, would govern, and he made no bone

ari was living in the largest indigenous territory, uru eu wau wau.found with stab wounds on his neck. no—one has been arrested for his death. one of these sellers we found on facebook was advertising land inside avi's home, the uru eu wau wau indigenous territory. he is one of the invaders grabbing land from avi's family stop the uru eu wau wau indigenous territory as a rainforest paradise in the middle of rondo near�*s farming heartland. —— rondonia was mike. we have come here to meet bitate, the leader of the uru eu wau wau indigenous community. bitate is only 20 years old, but under his leadership the community has set up a team to monitor and catch invaders. ari was a member of the team. this man was caught inside the territory with a gun. the federal agency meant to protect is ill�*s indigenous peoples does not have an office here. the closest is 200 kilometres away. bitate says the invasions are getting worse and worse. i show him what our investigation has uncovered. invasions happen here with or without facebook. but facebook makes it easier

also joined by ari melber, msnbc's chief legal correspondent and host of "the beat." ari, i want to come back to you on something that every elected official we've spoken to this afternoon has brought me back to. this was an attack that the video evidence makes clear was an assassination attempt on the life of mike pence and nancy pelosi. how do we spiral instantly hours after that insurrection into a position where hundreds of republicans in the house and more than half a dozen in the senate carried on the lie that led to that assassination attempt? >> that's exactly the question. 57% of the house republican caucus went forward on the vote that was what had common cause between trump's lies about stop the steal and what those rioters were claiming they were there to do, overturn the election, have a dictatorship instead of a democracy. it speaks to something that delegate plaskett really effectively landed today. i mean, this was one of the most effective oral arguments i've ever seen, and we together covered the last impeachment where there were big, big issues, but

ari, your old friend -- >> laura: even if you're not white. exactly, even if you have to be of color. james carville gave a very objective analysis about biden's first month in office. check this out. >> honestly, i would love -- i really can't think of anything -- he's doing extraordinarily well in his policies and everything he's done so far. >> laura: nothing. school reopenings, illegal immigrants pouring across the border. china poised to dominate. everything from rare earth to major other construction projects. nothing. no criticism? >> he obviously doesn't work on the keystone pop line. his very first action was to put 11,000 workers out of jobs as he carries out an ideological energy agenda. when it comes to the minimum wage. he's trying to jack it up to such a high rate that teenagers who get the minimum wage under biden, who have part-time jobs, would be getting the equivalent of $30,000 a year? i mean, that's a job killer. you can see ipads in restaurants instead of people. this is write -- where i think wages and jobs come down to.

on saturday a 3rd national shot was registered and scheduled for distribution next month on america ari compare the situation with the european union and hopes that sputnik very will get the block. and what i'm thinking of when it comes to europe it is a huge problem that it is failing to vaccinate all citizens as quickly as possible it hampers their return to work however here in moscow everything is up and running on quite a regular basis shops theaters everything is open we musicians feel shocks to have all the c.s.s. as well as other cultural facilities closed i can't understand why there is the slowdown in europe mightn't he in france are very preoccupied we are afraid that it will complicate the post code recovery i'm in favor of sending sputnik the supplies to europe and elsewhere if it helps overcome the problem of vaccine shortages and allows everyone to get vaccinated if you're without say on the way facebook's been blocking public information on copa vaccinations the firm says it's a mistake we'll tell you where it's pointing the blame after the break. so this is really the b

elizabeth: come in a former white house press secretary ari fleischer on this stunning story.ack on new democrat action that republican critics warn will hurt national security we found something the critics of watchdogs also founded to hidden in president biden's order canceling the keystone pipeline. this is about the u.s. power grid. you want to hear this, stay right there, don't go away. >> that's one of the concerns 48% of our state's federally owned and anything you do here in the energy space we have some aspect associated with it. losing that revenue is devastated to her schools, devastating to our communities and devastating to the small businesses that really depend on the energyi sector you've got car insurance here. and home insurance here. why not... schuuuuzp.. put them together. save even more. some things are just better together, aren't they? like tea and crumpets. but you wouldn't bundle just anything. like, say... a porcupine in a balloon factory. no. that'd be a mess. i mean for starters, porcupines are famously no good in a team setting. geico. save even m

>> several things, ari.good facts in this case for the house impeachment managers. they put on a terrific case, but trial is tough and they had to marshal all of these facts and put them on a timeline and make everybody understand the severity of what had happened. and of course you can't discount the fact that the fact finders in this case, the senators, were themselves the victims as were the house managers. it's a completely unusual situation that i think really, really grated on everyone. not to mention the fact that this was an attack on the seat of democracy. it was an attack on the republic. it's unprecedented in this country to be having an impeachment on a subject matter like that. so i think that made it easier for some of the republican senators to say this is really -- this has really gone too far. we're not talking about phone calls to, you know, russian ambassadors or anything like that. we are talking about direct mob hits on the capitol and on us. so i think that's what brought people over. >

ari fleischer, fox news contributor, good friend.or president trump and has a particular interest in immigration, this is what he said on lauren graham about this last night. >> we know that silicon valley and wall street dumps hundreds of millions of dollars into biden's campaign. right now, they are being repaid for that financing by getting workers less pay than americans to pad their own bottom lines. >> dana: do you think the biden administration is doing enough to combat the response from somebody like stephen miller? >> well, i think this is one of those issues where there is legitimacy on both sides. we are talking first of all about legal immigrants. they are not coming to america illegally. they went through the legal hoops and are applying for green cards. the question becomes, and it is an eternal question. how many people should we we give green cards you? when? they would argue you don't allow then in because of the pandemic. joe biden is saying we still need these workers. we do want them in, and they are coming in lat

bring ari in. >> no, please continue. >> claire, i just wanted to -- we haven't mentioned it yet, but the other elephant in the room was the trump lawyer invoking the word disenchan friesment. donald trump sought to disenfranchise voters, he sought to do it on a telephone call, it's part of what he was impeached for by democrats and republicans. this was so trumpian in its projection. >> yeah, the irony has so many layers, the cake you referred to earlier with three layers. this cake would be so tall, it would topple over. the layers of irony. the only reason that we are here is because the president wanted to disenfranchise the voters of this country. by, in fact, lying about the election itself. so, this is -- this is really -- i mean, i could go on and on about all of the ironic arguments that were made, particularly by the second lawyer, because the first lawyer, i mean, i don't think his phone's going to be ringing, i got to tell you the truth. >> let's go there with one of our counsel lawyers and that's ari melber.
