i am ari melber. this is "the beat." we're beginning with the story of the escalation of the stolen classified documents. the doj went to court today to do something we first reported this week. they had a request to hold trump and his legal team in contempt because they were no forking over all of the documents. this is a secret hearing which means unlike the vast majority of court proceedings, we don't have a real-time set of transcripts or information about what happened. but the doj will not confirm anything either. but nbc news is reporting that we are basically seeing the contempt effort go down. it's still in escalation in the case that the doj led by the special counsel wants to hold trump in contempt in the first place. but nbc is reporting that the judge basically hearing that request has decided not to yet go there. not to hold trump's team in contempt which is different than what we've seen in new york and other places where it's gotten that bad. now donald trump turned over at least two additional classified

>>> welcome to "the beat. " i'm ari melber tracking this breaking news. congress has referred former president donald trump for criminal prosecution today. the high-stakes action came in this final meeting of the january 6 select committee. it marks a momentous close to an investigation now considered one of the most significant in a generation. indeed you can see the first draft history in this "new york times" headline here accusing trump of insurrection, the committee refers him to the justice department for prosecution. "the times" reports this is tonight the first time in american history that congress has referred a former president for criminal prosecution. so by any standard, by any metric, we are living through a major piece of history here. here's exactly what this means. those trump fans and convicted felons who were summoned by trump to washington, who committed sedition and attacked police and sought to assassinate mike pence and nancy pelosi and achieved their goal of obstructing and delaying the vote counting, their leader is now the first

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. hi, ari. >> hi, nicolle. welcome to "the beat." i'm ari melber. the january 6th committee is barrelling ahead. they'll hold their final meeting monday. one of their last official meeting about criminal referrals. that's also the day that formally vote to release the final report. if you have been following this closely you may recall that is due wednesday and that remains the case. this is them on monday having the important -- as with any committee they have to actually hold the vote to release what is this long expected conclusion to the voluminous investigation. uncovered, secret texts to the number one trump official during that period in january when they were trying the stage a coup, mark meadows. some of this shows the nature of support from the president. maga lawmakers thought they could still at that late date overturn the election. now, a news site has obtained these messages. nbc news has not, but they are not really in doubt at this point. tpm has asked for comment, for example, from many of the members cited. at least

our coverage continues now on "the beat" with ari melber who has a huge booking. i'm running downstairs to watch. >> we think it is a newsworthy booking. thank you, nicolle. see you tonight. >> have a good show. >> absolutely. >> we're watching two big stories. polls in georgia in an hour. we begin tonight with major legal breaking news. guilty. guilty on all charges. that is the verdict in the trump org trial. a jury convicted to entire company -- this came in late today -- of every charge levelled in the case. this is a blow to trump's entire company, to his financial standing and to how that company may try to do business in the future. if you followed this here, if you're one of these americans who watched news and wondered, when will there ever be accountability for what looks like a long trail of trump misconduct, malfeasance, and as we've seen today, convicted illegal activities, you might know some of the path. the path to this verdict took off when a former trump lawyer and trump org executive first publicly blew the whistle on what he allege was financia

as ari mentioned, this was clearly a coordinated attack.'t just happenstance of some mob that got carried away. the capitol police stood between us, democracy and this mop that was going to take down the capitol. they have emotional and physical scars. i'm happy to see the conclusion of this. we want to make sure there are recommendations out of this that it doesn't happen again. whether it's intelligence, whether it is legislation, the capitol police really saved the day on that day. >> just to follow-up for a moment because we believe from some of the reporting that there is going to be a lot in this report about the intelligence and about how people in the chain of command were warned. and there's been plenty of evidence to know that the president knew of the violent motivations of the riots he was inciting, according to the referrals. >> absolutely. me and the team were collecting evidence and sharing it. it makes it a lot more difficult to say this was spontaneous act when you see weeks or months of intelligence and information suggest

s office and msnbc chief legal correspondent and anchor of "the beat," ari melber. we've got this trump organization guilty of tax fraud. the january 6 committee plans to issue criminal referrals. special counsel subpoenas local officials. special master moved out of the documents case. and oh, all but one of hi candidates lost. so where do begin, ari. the tax fraud guilty verdict, does this touch donald trump? >> legally it does not technically mean that the state of new york's jurors and this process found him personally guilty. does it touch him? his name is on the front of the building and the front of the company and the jurors found that this was for the benefit of the company, which he is the founder and leader of, mika. and the prosecutors in their closing argument had evidence they waved in court that showed him personally initialing. we know that he tries to avoid paperwork as much as he can but he initialed paperwork that was part of the evidence that was convicted of a tax crime. to be clear, that means in the state of new york we could say this morning

welcome back. >> hi, ari, how are you? >> i'm great. let's start with the continuing loss for mar-a-lago for trump. let me read a little bit from what i just said about the judges. they agree with the garland justice department that this zakt court judge improperly exercised equitable jurisdiction which means they dismissed the special master. as for why they request would defy our foundational principle that our law applies to all without numbers or wealth or rank. what does this mean in your view. >> this is an exceptional ruling not that it is an extraordinary but because these judges many of whom are died in the wool conservatives, these are not libber am squishes and but applied rule of the law here. and forward courts are limited jurisdiction. they don't get to act on everything they want to in and in particular case the judge here aileen cannon is something that should only be deployed in extraordinary circumstances. these were not extraordinary circumstances and this would open the door for any subject of a search warrant to sim

happy holidays, you guys >> happy holidays, ari. >> thank you, you too. >> absolutely.ne question to both of you, starting with chai, what did you learn this year from the midterms on about american politics >> well -- said the only thing you learn from history is no one's learned anything from history. the gop didn't learn in history. kept repeating the same mistakes, ket going to the base. and the year feels like it's a bookend of two different announcements. in 2015 when trump went down that golden escalator, he changed america and the world, unfortunately, probably forever. in 2022, when he announced again that he was running for president, he didn't even change fox's primetime lineup didn't make a ripple and since then has been just one negative story after another i think it's really remarkable america now at the end of 2022 feels post pandemic. but we also feel very much like we're post trump the politics are changing. facebook and twitter, that had been the drivers of a lot of our politics for the last ten years, is receding in its influence for different reason

imagine the zodiac sign aries well, for example, yes, this is his kingdom called aries, venus can getgot there, she acquires these aries properties, you know, that is, uh, aries is just like some kind of clothes for some the planet that is there it is under the control of, for example, mars, and if something bad happens to mars, venus does not live well in this state. is that the logic there? no, we just all read horoscopes. these are very different, it is clear that everyone treats them the same way. even those who read, but i read, for example, about lions. and i recognize myself in every sentence there will be something good or something bad. i understand, look. you, when we say two, then this, the sun is volvo, which means, i, let's say, do not see a person, and i can imagine what he looks like. he always strives to be bright. let it be, uh, there with some nuances. it is always a person who is seen from him, that is, we always assume how, but if we say, well, how is he looks. yes, what a supply of the sun - this is a person illuminated. do you understand this lion's beginning? ye

ari fleischer joins us in just a moment. but first to chad pergram with the latest on what's going on on capitol hill. hi, chad. >> martha, the senate just approved the $1.7 trillion omnibus. it needed 60 yays. 18 republicans voted yes. now it's on to the house. there's concern about paralyzing travel and marooning lawmakers in washington. >> we could pass it tonight. that would be our hope. but shall we say, we're waiting to see how long the debate goes there. we want people to be able to go home. as you know, there's storms across america. hopefully that will be a motivation for expedited discussion. >> a dispute over title 42 nearly tanked the ball. republicans backed an amendment to preserve title 42 for the border. >> when chuck schumer found this out, he brought everything to a screeching halt and coming up with more typical washington maneuvers to set it up to fail. so they can vote for something that won't pass and vote against it when it matters. >> even if the house approves the bill ahead of tomorrow night's deadl

ari. what is the one big recommendation you would give the republican party in general. >> you cannot win with the base only, the base alone. eve got to win with the bass boat that has appeal to centrists and independents. it's a big party, very big tent. still valid today. >> healthful what you are for, not what you're against. it's easy to say we are against various radical things but tell the people what you're for, what are you going to do that makes their lives better when they sit down on the kitchen table. >> sean: you are right, don't underestimate the power republicans the last two election cycles, owning seats in the house and having the majority. last word, kellyanne, what's a big piece of advice? >> i will adopt what my colleague said memo and grab the votes when you can. really low point for the democrats and the bided administration while early voting was happening i think removal concerns losing candidates, wait for election day, let's surprise everyone. the only people surp

ari, hope you have a great holiday. >> great to be with you. happiest to you, ari.n is not something that they can open. and hold. it's robox. a form of currency. some parents and advocacy groups are raising the alarm on this. lauren simonetti with us right now. why are parents alarmed? aren't virtual gifts getting easier and easier for people? >> it's simple but there's safety concerns ant a site that boast 30 minute users under the age of 12. what could go wrong? it could be addictive. it's also teaching kids to become metaverse mavens. who can traffic in the virtual world with ease? for a lot of these younger players when they're in these spaces, that's an extension of who they are and it's very real to them. that's why these kids are asking for their allowance to be in robox or whatever game they're playing. they want to be able to show who they are in these platforms. >> so they see themselves the avatars as extensions of themselves. i find being an avatar weird. not the younger generation. big brands are taking note of that from walmart to nike, vance, even gu

the beat with ari melber starts right now. >> thank you, nicolle. we're discussing and tracking several developments that will put legal heat on donald trump. i have special guests for you right now. there's a conviction on all counts against the entire trump org. tonight, reporting on new secret documents discussed in the open criminal case about mar-a-lago where trump has faced one setback after another. here is what we know. donald trump lost that bid to slow this case down with a special master. now his team is finding new secret documents. if you're thinking i heard about these deck rhett documents already, you did. your mind is not playing tricks on you. but these are new, additional ones. depending on the details, they could be criminal. the reason these are coming out now is because of a judge's order that requires trump to have his team scour for any other classified material that is on his properties or in his effective possession. at least two items with classified markings now found in a trump storage unit, this one in florida. it was fo

i sat down with ari in his offices in new york to discuss the industry and his future in it. you were a talent agent for much of your professional career but now you are running a multinational, multibillion-dollar sports-entertainment conglomerate. what is it like running a company like this, as public, as opposed to a talent agent? ariel: it feels natural. it is different. it is bigger than anything i dreamed of. i still work with clients on the talent side. writers, directors, actors, etc. but then there is the portion of my life you are dealing with investors, how to grow the business and where you want to go. a great training ground has been the talent agency business, because you have to build the business for your clients, make sure they are happy, and now i am doing all that, plus doing stuff for the company, but also making sure the shareholders are happy. david: you have to deal with quarterly earnings. that is a pain sometimes. ariel: i don't find it a pain. i don't know why. john donahoe from nike said to me one time, when the earnings are good, it is an easy proc

ari, i'll start with you. let's get your reaction to china in general and the connection the bidens in terms of all the money that they made just to remind people they have that five million dollar, no interest, forgivable loan. i wish i could get those terms myself. they have the hundred thousand dollar shopping spree and at one point five billion dollar deal with the bank of china. that's a lot of money for the biden family. and is joe compromised? and is their information on the laptop that the fbi's been sitting on that it proves such hunter is implicating his father because it appears there is . and you left out the free ride on air force two that was taken by then vice president biden's son to go do business in china. and get dropped off and seen in the company of the vice president . we don't know all the facts, sean, but it sure does look bad. and this is why is so important to get to the bottom of this. i've always made the case republicans need to stop saying the name hunter biden. they should never

sexto sexton. >> ari, let me start with you.here to start? what's your biggest takeaway? we're now in number seven . people are following. it's getting deeper and deepergy in the connection between twitteople arer and the highests of our intelligence agencies. of this is awful on every grounds. wful oi how can the fbi or i haa to say, how can a unitn a some peoplune inside the fbi? is >> i don't think this is thee wl whole fbi. how can anybody, though, inside the fbi trying to interfere in an election like this? >>to intern electi by suppressi >> the fbi's job is to investigate crimes. imes. it is not to put its finger his for he scale of american elections for or against anybody. th it is not to put his fingeromebd on the scale of whether somebody is engaging iy'n, quotf unquote, disinformation. itf the fbi'so business. and so this is extraordinarily worrisome to see that the tentacles, the fbi, some elements in there have extended into twitter and evenrt twitter started to resist the fbi. >> in some ways, this is one of these

ari want to pray for her? we want to keep everything positive as the cornelius police department releases new video of what investigators say is the last time they can confirm madalina was seen in public. the short clip from november. 21st shows her getting off the school bus heading home. it's the last day she was at school, but she was not reported missing until more than three weeks later. later on december 15th. police say her school tried contacting her family, eventually sending a counselor and resource officer to their home december 12th two days later on the 14th police say madeleine, his mother, diana, kojak, ari told a counselor. she would bring maddalena with her the following day, but court documents say she arrived without her daughter and then told them that maddalena had been missing since november, 23rd. the 23rd would have been two days after she was seen o. s was shocked and arrt sheet spfher, r palmer told police. the last time he saw her was on november 16th when officers asked diana why sh

ari fleischer is a former white house press secretary. great to see you. the conclusion that matt, the reporter after going through all this stuff essentially is that here is proof that he presents that both biden and trump campaigns had inside lines to twitter senior executives to make decisions. the key difference, though, that is late bare in the emails. there is no record that twitter accommodated requests from the trump campaign like they did the biden. >> i have been around the government and campaigns long enough to know everybody tries to get access to people in communications every where whether it's abc, nbc, cbs. it is the job of operatives to have numbers and access. >> and the job of journalists. >> the job of journalists is to be fair, objective and neutral. what they have here is proof of a collaboration effort between the biden and came an twitter, social media. it reinforces everything conservatives and republicans have been led to believe how biased and how the deck is stacked, the game is rigged. communications in america overwhelmingly
