he started with blocks and then brooks went down and then he abandoned brooks and now brooks is back. it is going to be fascinating. >> yeah. >> loyalty with donald trump is a one-way street. and while month brooks was one of the most ardent defenders and spoke at the ellipse as a warm-up act for donald trump the morning of january 6, and indeed implored those gathered to protest joe biden, say that he was not a duly elected president. that wasn't enough for donald trump. donald trump pulled his endorsement and now he endorsed shelby and today though polls suggest a tight rate. steve kornacki will break it down later on. but this is another test of whether or not what sort of say trump has over the republican party right now. his primary endorsement is pretty mixed. a win in ohio, losses elsewhere. alabama is the heart of trump country. in fact, he and his aides have long traced the moment where they felt like he was taking off back in 2015 was that rally in mobile, alabama and if he were given a defeat today, it would be humbling indeed. >> mike, that is what is so fascinating, about

and mo brooks was giving a ton of bs in his interview. rinos he is talking about our vice president pence. >> he was in the capitol -- >> hanged on that day. i'm not mad at brooks and his colleagues for trying to encourage an attack on democrats or republicans. i am at because they are encouraging the attack on democracy, of process, a thing that is cherished in this country. and so he is trying to limit his, i would say, sin to one day. but he was there since the election before the election. and all the way to january 6th. there was also a lot of other people. there was a kevin mccarthy who didn't say who donald trump on november 8th or november 9th, saying, hey, you lost this election, stop this. no. what did we hear? he just needs time to process. the public access for this man child that couldn't accept the fact that he lost. lost. by the way, it wasn't even close. >> it was not close. >> it's a huge loss. the guy is a loser and people just can't accept it. >> yeah. >> let's be honest, the reason he is where he is right now is becaus

brooks got the endorsement, brooks lost the endorsement. brooks found his way into the runoff.ooks made a public plea to donald trump in the runoff to endorse a public plea to trump in the runoff to give him a hail mary pass, and trump says no i am with brit. brit wins. she now emerges the overwhelming favorite to win this seat in november just given alabama's political tint. but you can see top to bottom here, only one county, shelby county, brooks carries that one. otherwise a statewide sweep here for britt in the republican runoff in alabama. >> let me ask you about alabama for a second. some people say this is a trump win. i mean, nobody, as you know, nobody is more establishment hand richard shelby. he is the establishment's establishment guy, and the fact his chief of staff won in alabama, and the fact that that's being considered a victory for trump -- well, that is some pretty, i guess you would call it thin gruel, isn't it? >> yeah. i mean, this said nothing about trump and an affinity for katie britt as much as i think it said about trump and consem tempt he felt for

brook doing this first. i think that matters. it is part of the larger orbit about what brook represents as a politician and what it allows the rest of the party to do in a crisis. >> you have written a lot about a nixon on the trajectory of the republican party over time. in your great book, but i want to ask you, about a short piece that you wrote in washington post in 2017, which was debunking some of the myths of watergate. so, you're number one myth that you debunked was this is a myth not the reality, there was not a logical motive behind the burglary. you say that is not true. can you talk to us about why that message is endured and what you see as a clear motive? why did this start up? your one of those guys were he's forgotten. >> do you think there was a clear motive, as you look at it? >> it depends on what you mean by clear motive. the clearest part of the watergate break in had to do with a break in that was attempted on the same day that no one remembers because it was never accomplished. that

among them is republican congressman moe brooks of alabama. , now brook spoke to the crowd, at the ellipsemorning of january six wearing body armor. >> today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking us. now, our ancestors sacrificed their blood, their sweat, their tears, their fortunes and sometimes their lives. to give us their descendants, an america that is the greatest nation in world history. so, i have a question for you, are you willing to do the thing. ? >> brooks was then and continues to be one of donald trump's most vocal, star work supporters in his quest to overturn the election. and he earned trump's endorsement in the primary. one is pulling numbers started to plummet, trump just loudly dump him. brooks is now trying very hard to get that endorsement back, promoting the twitter hashtags, reinjure some. a republican congressman, macbooks of alabama joins me now. good to see you congressman. how do you understand -- >> chris, it's always enjoyable to listen to the introduction. >> i am glad that you enjoyed it. a lot of it for your. world >> how do you

as brooks' campaign struggled, trump jumped ship and accused brooks of going, quote, woke for these commentstion fraud theft in 2020. put that behind you, put that behind you, yes. >> brooks said he learned of trump's decision from a reporter seeking comment. >> he didn't have the courtesy or the chutzpah or whatever to let me know first. so it somewhat blindsided me this morning. >> despite the embarrassing episode, brooks has continued to run as maga mo and insisting his refusal to say the 2020 results could be overturned was partly to blame. >> i knew that when i gave him straight shooting legal advice that it would perturb him because it's not what he wanted to hear and i knew it would put my endorsement at risk, but i thought it was the honorable thing to do so i did it. >> even so, brooks still tried to win back trump's support ahead of the run-off. >> game on. >> but trump ultimately sided with britt, who is widely seen as the favorite on tuesday after receiving the most votes in the may primary. and this is a time in which the former president trump is really looking to shore up his

brooks. >> mr. biggs did. mr. durden talked about congressional pardons but he never asked me for one. it was more for an update on whether the white house was going to pardon members of congress. mr. gohmert asked for one as well. >> did he reach out to you directly? >> yes, he did. >> did marjorie taylor greene contact you? >> no, she didn't contact me about it. i heard that she had asked white house for a pardon from mr. philbin, but i didn't frequently communicate with ms. greene. >> are you aware of any conversations or communications regarding the possibility of giving congressman matt gaetz a pardon? >> i know he had asked for it, but i don't know if he ever received one or what happened with it. >> how do you know that congressman gaetz asked for a pardon? >> he told me. >> tell us about that. >> he told me he'd asked meadows for a pardon. >> were you involved in or did you witness any conversations about the possibility of a blanket pardon for everyone involved in january 6th? >> i heard that mentioned, y

so brooks.w a lot of us were looking forward to getting those $400 debit cards for gas. but i think that this is a question is really how much are you earning now? for many of us? maybe this isn't going to be a life changing for us. but for those california taxpayers who are on the lower end of income, i think this is gonna make a big difference. you know, we hear often that california has a large surplus, and so these inflation relief checks are really supposed to provide some of that breathing room, but with the price of just about everything rising. is this really going to make a big difference to people? well you know, i think it comes down to who you are right. if you're just starting off in your career, maybe you've got a lot of student loans. maybe you just got laid off or you've had some health issues within your family , maybe have an extended family $1000 as a one time check. it's going to probably make a difference, but it's not going to change the situation completely. so i think it'

as brooks' campaign struggled, trump jumped ship and accused brooks of going, quote, woke for these commentsed of trump's decision from a reporter seeking comment. >> he didn't have the courtesy or the chutzpah, or whatever, to let me know first. so it somewhat blind sided me this morning. >> reporter: despite the embarrassing episode, brooks has continued to run as maga mo. and insisting that the 2020 results could be overturned was partly to blame. >> i knew when i gave him straight-shooting legal advice. it is not what he wanted to hear. i knew it would put my endorsement at risk, i thought it was the honorable thing to do so i did it. >> reporter: even though brooks tried to gain support ahead of the runoff. >> game on. >> reporter: but trump sided with britt after receiving the most votes in the may primaries. and his endorsement of katie britt comes at a time when the former president trying shore up his status in the republican party, particularly after a series of high-profile defeats last month. brianna. >> we'll be watching, kristen, thank you so much. >>> ahead of a second term th

as they say they've been deeply influenced by brooke doing this first. and i think that matters. think it is part of a larger orbit of both what broke represents is a politician and then what it allows the rest of the party to do in a moment of crisis. >> thank you. so brick crossing. you've written a lot about richard nixon and about the trajectory of the republican party over time. in your great book. but i want to ask you about a short piece that you wrote in the washington post in 2017 which was debunking some of the myths of watergate. so, you're number one myth that you debunked was -- there wasn't a logical motive behind the burglary. and you say that is not true. can you talk to us about why that myth has been endured and what you see is the clear motive. and what business this brings up. i should have told you i was -- i should've told you guys what essay he has forgotten more about the subject than most know. directly to using there was a clear motive now as you look at it. >> obviously it depends on what you mean by clear motive. i would say t

those include matt gates, mo brooks, andy biggs, marjory taylor green. some have denied this ever happened. matt gates is under investigation in an alleged sex trafficking investigation. he has denied all wrong doing, he has not been charged. but according to the testimony we heard in the hearing today, matt gates was asking for one of those from the beginning of time for everything he has ever done kind of pardons. and, you know, that could be an interesting thing for prosecutors who are still looking at him and are still going to have to decide whether or not he faces these charges. it depends on what he told the white house his pardons were about. this could add complications to matt gates. at this point, these members of congress are saying that there's nothing to see here but, as you can tell from the testimony from people inside the white house, this actually happened. >> you mentioned mr. biggs -- >> mr. biggs did. mr. dornan talked about congressional pardons but he never asked me for one. mr. gomer asked for one as well and mr. perry also. i'm s

pardons from then-president trump, according to testimony, includes congressman scott perry, mel brooks, andy biggs and marjorie taylor green, should note, called the allegations lies. others, though, admitted they asked for the pardons. others today heard from film maker alex holder with hours of trump, his family, and others in the inner silk in the days leading up to and on january 6th. holder speaking to our don lemon after trump's mindset said this. >> did he at any point acknowledge that he lost? >> no. he absolutely genuinely believes that he won and that the election was stolen from him. >> we're going to have more from don's interview with holder coming up, including what the committee wanted to know from him in the testimony today. now, the existence of that film caught even top trump aides by surprise, includish never before seen footage like this. >> can we talk a moment about january 6th? >> well, it was a sad day. but it was a day where there was great anger in our country. the people went to washington primarily, because they were angry with an election that they think wa

. >> analysis of shields and brooks.hat is syndicated columnist mark shields and new york times columnist david brooks. >> for 33 years, mark shields brought his decades of political expertise, unapologetic liberal views, and quick irish wit to our airwaves, providing critical context and perspective to some of the most historic moments in american politics. impeachments. >> the attitude in the country remains that bill clinton lied. they don't want him to leave. >> war. >> war should not be the first resort. it has to be the last resort. >> white house first. >> this is a person of enormous talent. >> and the 2020 election. >> donald trump is going out as a sore loser. reporter: a native of weymouth, massachusetts and red sox diehard, mark graduated from the university of notre dame in 1959 and for the next two years, served in the marine corps. he cut his teeth in democratic politics on capitol hill and the campaign trail workingor his political hero robert kennedy in 1968, edmund muskie in 1972, and mo udall four year

scott perry, matt gaetz, mo brooks, louie gohmert and marjorie taylor greene.er from the first hearing when liz cheney talked about members of congress asking for pardons. i think all of our ears perked up and we wanted to know, okay, who are they and what do they have on them. they, carrie cordero, had the receipts yesterday. >> they brought an actual white house aide to the president who testified in her deposition which is under oath and they have it on video and showed it in the hearing yesterday that specific members and she named them gaetz, brooks, biggs, gohmert, perry and she said marjorie taylor greene had asked another white house lawyer for a pardon. what i think is remarkable about these was the scope of the pardons that some of the testimony indicated they were asking for prospective, so a pardon based on crimes that haven't even been charged that they didn't know necessarily were being investigated but it reflects what i think several of the hearings have drawn out which is that so many people knew at the time that what they were doing was probab

of course, mo brooks had trump's endorsement, he lost it which trump said was because he talked aboutoving on from the 2020 election. i wonder what you make of what mo brooks could potentially provide if he does testify publicly. >> theories are great, narratives are great, but nothing beats hearing from people that were on the ground and knew what happened. so the value of these hearings isn't so much laying out what could have happened, it's hearing from people who knew what happened. members of congress, people who were there on january 6th, members of the president's inner circle. that's the value that these hearings bring and that's what people want to hear. they want to hear facts. they want to know what happened from the people that know what happened on the ground that day and the weeks leading up to it. >> you couldn't frame mo brooks as someone who is not loyal to the former president. it will be fascinating to see. thank you so much for getting up early with us this morning. >>> there are also new calls that we're look at for violence against congresswoman liz cheney and ot

soured and brooks was losing in the polls. in the announcement on friday, trump said quote, mo has been rewinding it back ever since but i cannot give it back, he has been wanting it back ever since, but i cannot give it to him, katie britt is a first america first warrior and brooks wrote on twitter, this is weird, last time donald trump talked about katie britt, he said she was unqualified for the senate. brooks went on to say, let's just admit, it trump endorses the wrong people sometimes. and we do recall that mo brooks spoke at the rally on the ellipse in the hours before january 6th saying the election was stolen from donald trump and trump has repaid that loyalty by not endorsing him. >>> still ahead on "way too early," we turn to sports, and major turmoil in golf. the new tour that has pros taking shots at each other. >>> and nascar history on the track in north carolina. and sadly a big weekend in the bronx. the yankees slugged their way through a sweep.

i actually think mo brooks' statement is the most telling.e person who was cooperating with the trump administration to try to weaponize all aspects of government to hold on to power was, himself, now saying, oh, well i thought the incoming administration might politically do that. i think for some of these members, that's actually how they view it. i think we can't lose that in this discussion. we live in a split screen in america. today showed some people live in a different reality than we do, a different fact environment where it's just -- i mean these conspiracies that they were sharing, these pardons they were seeking, they're not seeing things the way you and i -- >> or they knew they were lying and that maybe some other -- and maybe they knew that they just had seen the department of justice, even though they are republican officials or supporters of the president, were not willing to do the president's bidding, and they're suddenly worried. oh, wait a minute, maybe there are -- >> uh-oh. >> you just used a wonderful phrase. the fact

fire truck, and have them respond to the firebombing at brookings.nd in the chaos of the firefighting, break into brookings, break into its safe and steal back the chennault papers to keep nixon's treason and treachery secret. the white house decides to abandon the plan, not because this is sort of wild and awful and criminal, but because they turn out to be too cheap to buy the fire truck. and over the course of multiple days in the wake of the pentagon papers release, nixon is storming in the oval office, repeatedly ordering this burglary and asking why it has not en carried out. wh it amounts to is the creation of the plumbers unit, which then goes on to break into daniel ellsberg psychiatrist office in the fall of 1971, one of the sort of related scandals that comes out later in watergate and actually is the reason the charges are ultimately dropped against daniel ellsberg, as you know. it sort of creates this unit with an overeager imagination and sort of criminal rambunctious nests to punish richard nixon's enemies inside the white house. amy:
