i'm referring to conviction of donald trump's long-time lawyer michael cohen for providing donald trump's payments in exchange for the silence of stormy daniels. remember, cohen went to jail for that crime, among others. federal prosecutors said it was all to benefit trump and i can tell you we have a very relevant guest for this discussion. a man who would be a key witness in any such case, michael cohen himself. cohen was convicted for his work on behalf of individual one, donald trump. and if trump was a knowing party to that crime, legally, he could still face potential prosecution, i mean, technically, he could, because the deadline has not yet run for that kind of campaign finance violation. now, you may recall this whole case, it began with a secret. donald trump paying daniels to hide their encounters which date back to 2006. and the legal problems came when trump and cohen acted around the 2016 election. and there's stronger evidence here than in most stories. that is to say, if you're talking to people about, oh, should trump be charged or not, in some of those stories or cases,

the overwhelming majority of house republican members today voted against donald trump. chuck schumer will try to bring up nancy pelosi's legislation in the senate tomorrow, but senate republicans are sure to block it and so today's defiance of president trump and the house republicans will be matched by tomorrow's defiance of president trump by republicans. all through the house of representatives today, an overwhelming majority followed nancy pelosi's motion to override donald trump's veto of the defense authorization act. donald trump said he vetoed the bill because, among other things, it changes the names of military bases that have been named in honor of confederate generals who committed treason against the united states of america. new york city's oldest newspaper, the "new york post," was founded by alexander hamilton and has suffered a long fall from grace all the way down to the point where it fell into the hands of australian media mogul rupert murdoch before rupert murdoch became an american citizen. "the new york post" is the only american republican support

he was convicted for his work on behalf of individual one, donald trump. if trump was a knowing party to that crime, legally he could still face potential prosecution. technically he could because the deadline has not yet run for that campaign finance violation. now, you may recall this whole case began with a secret. donald trump paying daniels to hide their encounters which date back to 2006. legal problems came when trump and cohen acted around the 2016 election. there's stronger evidence here than in most stories. if you're talking about whether trump should be charged or not, in some of those issues they can be vague. here mueller's prosecutors had inside players. this was during the open mueller probe in our reporting on the beat. in your fbi interview with mueller's team they were asking about payments to women. >> they were asking if i knew anything about it. >> if you knew anything about payments to women. >> they're looking into this. you have this $130,000 payment made after the election from campaign to trump org. >> that turned out to be releva

i want to get your vision of donald trump next year, donald trump january 21st. is he still trying to control the operations of the united states senate? and then what happens eventually when -- or i should say if, if he becomes a criminal defendant in the state of new york? >> i think part of that depends a lot on what happens on january 5th in georgia honestly. i think that the silence of republicans in congress as donald continues to commit he is digis -- sedition on a practically daily basis is unforgivable. however, from a tactical point of view i'm pretty sure it is because mitch mcconnell believes he needs to keep donald's base riled up in order to increase republican turnout in georgia. so the question -- one big question i think is how much use is the republican party going to continue to get out of donald. post-inauguration what should happen, because this is what usually happens, is that the outgoing president decreases in relevance, is no longer the center of the show, and that's what should happen now but it depends on us. donald at that point is goi

new developments make clear that donald trump will leave office the same way he came in. under a cloud of suspicion. since this hour yesterday, we've learned from "the new york times" that trump is indeed considering preemptive pardons for his family. quote, trump has told others that he is concerned a biden justice department might secret try bugs against him by targeting the oldest three of his five children. donald trump, eric trump and ivanka trump, as well as her husband, jared kushner, a white house senior adviser. the white house hasn't commented on the reporting and a source tells nbc news trump is considering the pardons because he feels embattled, not because he thinks his family has done anything illegal. each has faced potential exposure in at least one criminal investigation since trump's presidency began. we should all keep in mind that this is the very president said to be operating like a criminal begrade by andrew mccabe, then the number two at the fbi who was so alarmed by the conduct he witnessed in trump's earliest weeks in office that he opened a count

cohen was convicted for his work on behalf of individual 1, donald trump. and if trump was a knowing party to that crime, legally he could still face potential prosecution. i mean, technically he could because the deadline had not yet run for that kind of campaign finance violation. you may recall this whole case, it began with a secret. donald trump paying daniels to hide their encounters which date back to 2006. now, the legal problems came when trump and cohen acted around the 2016 election, and there's stronger evidence here than in most stories, that is to say if you're talking to people about, oh, should trump be charged or not, and some of those stories are cases, even the tax issues, they can be vague, but here, mueller's prosecutors had inside players exposing what was happening. we even heard from some of those key witnesses this realtime. this was during the open mueller probe in the reporting on the beat. >> in the probe, they were asking about payments to women. >> they were asking if i knew anything about it. >> they were asking if you knew abo

and donald trump.tined to be paralysed with division? chris, in new york, welcome to heart talk. —— acro one. donald trump has not yet conceded and is your newsmax network not prepared to acknowledgejoe biden did win the election, he is the president—elect? biden did win the election, he is the president-elect? yes. and it has been our consistent statement all along on election night when the president was in a very close contest in six states where it is 1% or less, two of the states were half percent in georgia was a quarter of a percent, we said that we should allow the president to contest these legally through recount some of the challenges and he has been doing that and we would accept the state certifications in each case to declare the winner because the race was so close and most of the media did this backin and most of the media did this back in the 2000 elections with al gore and theyjust decided they wanted to anointjoe biden and and we have been we have been sticking with the fa cts we hav

my biggest fear over the next four years is not donald trump for sure. it's the cult of trump.otion that what happens to his supporters is that they bond to him and then they stop caring about his falsehoods. that's from ruth who just wrote this great book "stranong men" d they believe him because they believe in him so the next four years, we're looking at 70 million people and most republican office holders who bought into the idea the truth doesn't matter anymore, that you can say anything and saying it will make it true and if that means living under an atrococy fine. can biden make hdecency cool again because the alternative for trump is the end of the world as we know it. >> well, we land on a big one and you from time to time, you have been accused of over statement, tony. you have. i don't know if you know that. >> i didn't know that, ari. >> yeah, that's happened but -- >> i don't think i over stated much but i understand how it's seen that way. >> but what we're circling around, to be honest, really fully plan it this way but circling around from more than one vista t

donald trump lost this election. why do we hear five minutes after it's made official by california about bill barr? the president is trying to step on the headline, frankly, and that's significant too but in the context of the day's big news, that's a distraction compared to what really happened which is that yet again donald trump lost this election. i don't know how many times he wants to lose it but he lost it again today. >> right, the battering ram of the losses including that supreme court dismissal which was just as embarrassing and complete a rejection as you can get friday really underscores what's going on and it's a reminder, professor murray, of how the alternate reality of trumpism may try to persist far longer than january 20th. here was stephen miller who is one of the longest serving white house aides to this president. take a look. >> as we speak today an ultimate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're going to send those results up to congress. this will ensure that al

this is donald trump's party.he future of donald trump's party, the gop, tina nguyen is a white house reporter at politico where she covers maga world. jennifer is it a former chair of the new hampshire party who announced this month she's leaving the party over gop efforts to overturn the election result. tia, let me start with you. is it donald trump's party as matt gaetz says? it sure looks like it from where i'm sitting. >> it's a strange situation because you can't quite tell where the party ends and where donald trump's supporters begin. while you have members who are 100% republicans and pro democrat, you have a giant section of republicans who are saying, okay, we maybe need to move on and just deal with the biden presidency. let's certify the results in congress next week and say, okay, biden won because here are the votes. or they can indulge in a fantasy and say that donald trump isn't going to leave the white house and what we can do is somehow manipulate the rules of congress to do so. and that's wher

they made a lot of money on donald trump and covering donald trump from a negative perspective.eople that profited big—time by being very critical of the president. right now, i'm really focused on you and your news network, and i am mindful that... i get that. ..while the election was unfolding and the post—election was unfolding, america was also grappling with a terrible, terrible crisis, the coronavirus crisis — the death toll now beyond 300,000. i'm also looking at the way you've covered that. while you're prioritising trump's fight against the election result, you're also, in terms of the presenters and their opinions on your network, suggesting that there is something very strange about coronavirus. two of your presenters have called it a "scamdemic", and have explicitly linked it to a democratic plan to rig the election. again, i ask you, when you hear that on your own network, do you intervene and tell them to stop? can you give me the specifics? because this is — anybody that watches our network knows that's not the editorial point of view of our... if some individual

donald trump was also very late to this. whether that's because his heart wasn't fully in it and it's only a scam and a fund-raising mechanism or if it's because he's just disorganized, a closer election and someone willing to plan this way earlier, you might have had a much bigger constitutional crisis, which i think people need to keep in mind as they make up their own minds about what we want to do coming out of this era. appreciate both of you kicking off the coverage tonight. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> thank you both. >> when we return in just 30 seconds, we get into this year of reckoning on justice, a special report on how our culture and music have gotten us through tough times. that's in tonight's program. >>> also, trump insiders speaking out, a former aide saying the white house has turned into a total, quote, crazy town. but first, michael cohen, live. back on "the beat" on trump's pardons in 30 seconds.

donald trump was nothing. he was just a guy he would make these boring speeches until he went on the view and made his comment about barack obama's birth certificate. he shot to the top of the polls precisely because of that. when you talk to trump man, they sayo a they hated barack obama so much that they were willing to attack him because of a lie. republicans were willing to support donald trump because he won the republican nomination based on that lie. republicans 90% of think donald trump is not a racist, but 85% of democrats do. we as a country do not care about facts, so long as partisan identity politics are part of the discussion. they cannot accept he is a racist. that is why you have people like paul ryan saying, yes, the man is a racist but at least he is not hillary clinton. at least he is not a democrat. host: all right, terrence. guest: that is something i have observed as well. i like paul ryan. i have written columns about some of his ideas. he's a thinking conservative. and not against compr

but he responded for forcefully than obviously than donald trump. peo who was the first trump cabinet official to accuse russia, attorney general bill barr didn't accuse russia but said he agrees with pompeo. let's watch and talk about it on the other side. >> the truth is this, the trump administration failed to prioritize cybersecurity. this assault happened on donald trump's watch. when he wasn't watching. he still has responsibility as president to defend american interests for the next four weeks but rest asmured even if he does not take it seriously, i will. >> this area of cyber defenses and offenses is new for a lot of policymakers in congress and in this administration. what is biden walking into in terms of russia's posture in the wake of this attack? >> well one of the things that we could say this attack has shown is that it's almost impossible to deter this kind of thing because this is in a sense tradition traditional espionage. this is not trying to blow up a power plant or cripple a hospital, this is by all accounts currently traditio

it was live by donald trump. it will do all the damage and danger that the democratic senator, chris krebs and the washington post said it would. this seems to be the new battlefield for the disinformation stream being pumped into trump's voters. >> well, i think what you got was a taste of what's to come. how a former president trump will use the other media outlets, one maybe he builds himself, to stage this type of narrative. look, the reality is very stark and america needs to get a grip on this, especially our press needs to get a grip on this. donald trump will run a side-by-side presidential campaign against the biden administration. he will, you know, create sort of an off the book white house, if you will, if he can using rallies, using own, using whatever networks he can sucker in to carrying the coverage that he wants to get and keep himself in front of the american public. when you have united states senators playing to this particular narrative by, you know, assisting and setting up these type of sto

now we have the statement from donald trump and imight add, statement from donald trump and i might addl barr says any time when the country is so deeply divided its incumbent on all levels of government, all agencies acting within their purview to do all we can to ensure the integrity of elections and promote public confidence in the outcome. giving a little bit of leeway to the president and his claims but not going that extra mile donald trump wants to confirm allegations of voter fraud. results from electoral colleges in all but one us state giving him, joe biden has won the state—by—state electoral college vote that formally determines the us presidency, coinciding with the us recording it's 300,000 corona death. the number was just after the first vaccine was administered to a citizen. sandra lindsay — an intensive care nurse in new york — got herjab on camera in an effort to help boost public confidence in the vaccine. she said she hoped this was the beginning of the end of a long, painful period. nick bryant reports. this was a made for television moment staged in new york, the

bret: is a concerning for donald trump or trump supporters, if bernie sanders is agreeing with him?and senator holly have both pushed for larger direct payments to americans who had their lives so grievously harmed by government shutdowns. another thing senator sanders said was interesting was people saying they oppose the increased direct payment because of concerns about debt. charming to hear people say this when they just passed this bloated bill when you have states getting bail outs because they are suffering lack of tax dollars because of how they shutdown the economy when money is going overseas, $6 trillion spent on ongoing wars in iraq and afghanistan and the senate is trying to make it so donald trump cannot bring troops home, doing what they can to make sure the wars continue. it would be great if people really cared how much money is being spent but only seem to express concern when it comes to direct payments to americans who had their jobs taken away from them who can't go to church or school or jobs that can't be done from the desk like so many elite people can. it i

donald trump is also sowing chaos around the stimulus package nearing approval on capitol hill. "the washington post" reports, quote, on a phone call thursday afternoon trump told allies that he believed stimulus payments in the next relief package should be at least $1,200 per person and possibly as big as $2,000 per person. officials said congressional leadership is preparing a stimulus package that would provide checks of $600 per person. trump was in the middle of formally drafting his demand for the larger payments when white house officials told him that doing so would imperil delicate negotiations over the economic relief package. government funding which right now is tied to the relief bill is set to expire midnight tonight if a deal can't be reached. donald trump, the chaos president, is disrupter in chief is where we start today. msnbc political analyst robert gibbs is here, former white house press secretary under president obama. also joining us dr. michael anderson, critical care physician, health care executive and disaster care consultant. and msnbc contributor lau

you live it. >>> there are signs donald trump has privately admitted his loss. onsidering launching his 2024 campaign with a maga rally on inauguration day. counter programming to joe biden, this was eluded to in leaked audio from a white house event last night. >> it's been an ahmazing four years. we're trying to do another four years otherwise i'll see you in four years. >> always interesting to get the behind the scenes. trump expected to go to the inauguration. he is not expected to invite biden to the white house, something obama did days after trump won the electoral college. it does not diminish what historians say is a complete precedent breaking piece of pettiness. the only comparable time you can even get near this was richard nixon but he of course, resigned in disgrace. no president snubbed his successor in the last 150 years in these traditional transitions. obama was there for donald trump. bush 43 was there for obama talking about the heavy job ahead. clinton was there for bush. and that as mentioned tonight was a tradition despite the two parties

because donald trump said so.stand that the gop itself has become an autocracy, it becomes easy to understand a lot of what is going on. an autocratic gop all in on donald trump's attempt to wreck our democracy is where we start this hour with our most favorite friends. former rnc chairman michael steele is here, also joining us former democratic congresswoman donna edwards. michael steele, i know we're ten train stops past the prize, but where is the condemnation from anyone who wants to continue to say that they govern in a democracy. >> well, they're not governing in this democracy. they haven't been governing for a while now. they've ceded that. you're talking about a party that has no ideology morings that couldn't sit in a room to come up with a platform to decide and define for the country who we would be and what we would say to the country in this most previous election cycle. so, the realities are one of, you know, as the secretary of state said, what does donald trump want us to do, the only question we

donald trump is not going to be the donald trump that we know, the powerful donald trump, the oz donaldin the next 18 months. watch. we're still in the final, final residue, the despicable residue of the last four years, but he will not be this larger than life character a year or two from now. >> i want to agree with you, and i just -- i know there's a lot of feeling, especially among viewers of our hour, that we should move on, and i think the newsworthiness of what he does in the final 50 days is here, the new administration is here, but i think you're right, when he's some two-bit talk show host on a podcast that no one can find in the apple store, then i'm sure you will right, we will not care. donnie, mara, wonderful to see both of you and mara, congrats on your run. >>> after a break, a scathing rebuke from a conservative stronghold. the latest review of donald trump's final days. the medicare enrollment deadline is monday, which means time is running out to pick a medicare plan. with so many changes, do you know if your plan is still the right fit? having the wrong plan may cost

putting against donald trump then said the want to vote against donald trump but i don't want to send my party at your company and message so i will the senator in texas and go down the ballot and vote for a republican texas house members and karen is right because in texas democrats thought they had a chance to take control of the texas house for the first time since 2001 and on the state wide race on the strength of biden that he can in texas and it didn't happen because they try get trump out of office but the state on - - the same time it like a congressman and republican senators. perhaps some of that went on. >>. >> looking at the numbers for both we surprised at these record turnouts? >> and he said 81 million people would vote i thought it would be both sides not just for one candidate. 155million people voting i think in the last election increase was surprising to me away i expected more people were over trump and more for biden but not with the increase. people wanted to vote. and briefly to address the other question you just asked , one of the things you saw with a split

donald trump.ou had him trying to interfere from beginning to end and we're now when we're going to show this for you, you're now even going getting publications like the national review -- >> yeah. >> who called up the president a few times in the post election -- post election period. but just saying enough is enough. "the wall street journal" editorial page. even brought themselves to saying as much a week or two ago. so everybody knows the gig's up. but for some reason, republican senators and mitch mcconnell just can't let those words cross -- >> but talk about the height of needy. talking about while he's certificating on television like i must stop this and then having the guy not take his call publicly. that's in trump's mind, that's painful. as willie mentioned, the state's most hotly battleground states have now certificated the -- certified the election results. the state of arizona certified its election results yesterday. solidifying joe biden's win and clearing the way for mark kelly

donald trump's bid to overturn the u.s. presidential election result has suffered another major blow with the attorney general saying there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. bill barr told the associated press that the justice department investigation has in his words not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome. where president elect joe biden be trumped 53062232 votes in the electoral college. and more than 6000000 in the popular vote. well, alan fisher is following events from the white house considering what a big supporter of the president bill barr always has been. what has the response been from the trumpet ministration and his legal team? well, there are people thing, the billboard is going to get fired because donald trump has since the election been talking about widespread voter fraud. he said in an interview on sunday that he believed the department of justice billboards, the partment and the f.b.i. could have been involved in some sort of conspiracy to steal the election away f

donald trump has none. so i don't understand where their face comes forward with donald trump.ns of some of these politicians, especially those in congress who got behind that bogus lawsuit or the seditious 17 toeattorney generals that go behind the attorney general from texas lawsuit, is that they just are trying to survive. they look for publicity stunts, anything to make donald trump happy, to maybe stay out of jail, like the attorney general from texas who is now under investigation by the fbi, or perhaps the state legislator who decided it was a good idea to succeed -- for texas to secede from the nation. he probably wants a better standing with leadership coming into the statehouse. so i find them all false. i find their devoutness to donald trump based in very little, ex set for what helps them. >> so, david french, what do people like you and i do? those a these are not -- i can talk about this and be very angry generally, but these are my friends. these are my loved ones. these are may family members. these have been my friends for 57 years. and when i sit and talk to

they were not tears for donald trump's relentless degrading of democracy. no. they were tears for lamar alexander. and the tears came from the place we didn't know tears existed, the eyes of mitch mcconnell. lamar alexander gave his farewell address to the united states senate after 18 years of service, which actually isn't a very long term of service for a senator. it is traditional that senators give a final speech in the final days of their service. when i worked in the united states senate, i went to the senate floor for many of those speeches. some were more eloquent than others. but almost all of them were moving. and i got choked up more than once listening to a senate farewell speech. not today. because mitch mcconnell has destroyed the united states senate as we know it. and lamar alexander did everything he possibly could to help mitch mcconnell destroy the united states senate. lamar alexander was a cabinet member and a governor of tennessee before winning a seat in the senate. you could write a biography of lamar alexander and leave out his senate y

and those closest to donald trump now departing. the attorney general over the weekend over the weekend he described as a deposed king ranting. he's not going to be imposed for much longer. this is really extraordinary timing to stop because the tweet from donald trump came almost within seconds of the california state assembly casting its electoral college votes. that putjoe biden over the top as far as this election is concerned. donald trump tweeting and i quote here, just had a very nice meeting with the attorney general bill barr at the attorney general bill barr at the white house, our relationship has been a very good run. i'll come onto that just a has been a very good run. i'll come onto thatjust a 2nd. he has done an outstanding job. he goes on to say the attorney general deputyjoe rosen will become acting attorney general. it is not been a good relationship at all. a toxic relationship at all. a toxic relationship between the two. magically after bill barr said that the justice department magically after bill barr said th

what donald trump did was actually unprecedented. en they were opponented in the 2016 primary. but here is why it is news today. new york times is reporting that trump asks ted cruz to argue about b.s. case in front of the supreme court and ted cruz said yes. so jason, just help me understand what trump does and that loyalty bob casta just explained to one soul. >> you know what, nicolle, this is why we're happy that we're getting a biden/harris administration. when doug imhoff approached his wife, he was about to jump off the stage. carrin had to sold someone back. he was insulted and his kids and his father by president trump and he's become his suppose lick ant, his lawyer for the last four it is embarrassing from somebody who said they are a tough individual from the lone star state. but nicolle, this is the larger issue here. republican party have all become the sort of suckers to the scam of donald trump. that email, i think it is important, that email from mike johnson, time sensitive issue from donald trump. that sounds like a

donald trump is confused. >> hmm.going back to the question of that the president raised whether the covid relief bill is doing enough tore americans. shared views. tulsi gabbard saying the bill leaves crumbs for those who need help most. alexandra ocasio ortiz, didn-co enough time to read the bill. >> what happened, white house kept saying no, not additional amounts for the stimulus. offered $500. we were able to get it up to $600 but hid the fact donald trump wanted $2,000. something going on in the white house hiding this information from congress. >> so you're saying that the white house was telling you something that did not reflect what the president wanted? or is it possible the white house was negotiating without consulting the president, and then just bringing him in at the end? do we know how that's been typical handled over the last four years? >> a great point. certainly possible secretary mnuchin we negotiated with was making stuff up. his views rather than the president's. we'll never know. at this point

i think they're being pardoned because they can deliver something to donald trump, and we have to askselves what exactly that is going forward. the larger story for me here is the silence of so many people. that is so much the story of the trump era. folks like ben sasse is in a class of his own right now. >> yeah, and by the way, that silence can apply to these pardons, it can apply to the continued efforts the president is making to overturn the election, it can be applied to the fact the president vetoed the national defense authorization act in part because he didn't want to go along with the renaming of confederate bases. you are a man who put your life on the line for this country. his view of what veterans and what the military does is skewed. >> well, let's just look at what's playing out today. the story of the trump administration has played out in the last ten hours. here you have a nation that's under attack right now. i think this has to be made very clear, everybody, that our nation is under the largest cyberattack we have ever seen in our nation's history. we have gover

donald trump then turned the circular fir9 barr over a series of events that didn't meet donald trump's donald trump. but if you could -- what donald trump thinks bill barr signed up for and falling out of favor from among other things refusing to project the lie that donald trump has sold to 126 republican members of congress and millions of his own supporters that this election was somehow stolen from him. there was some reporting in "the new york times" about a week ago that bill barr was considering leaving. and then even this weekend some more reporting that he might want to go before the holidays to spend more time, i think the quote we just read from donald trump, celebrating christmas in a pandemic, i'm not sure what that looks like. maybe he makes the family eggnog. john meacham, my question to you, is it possible that there is conduct that has been projected in reporting in axy os, on the "the new york times" an the washington time about donald trump's attempt to pardon himself and his own personal attorney rudy giuliani, that bill barr just doesn't want to be around for? >> t

they believe in donald trump and only donald trump. i've called it for a long time, not a republican caucus but republican cult and they will do everything, anything their dear leader says but the disappointing fact of that is we have millions of americans kicked out of their homes that don't know whether they will go for the next meal and these folks are more fired up about political stunt than they are about getting critical relief to americans and unfortunately, our own senator here in pat too m, helping lead the charge with mitch mcconnell. so disappointing. >> yeah, representative from the state of pennsylvania, which we may be hearing about. thanks for the time tonight, sir. >> thank you, ari. >> we have a 30-second break but the fight for georgia and why gingrich is speaking out and we have a special report on lessons learned from the pandemic including what bill gates tried to get trump to learn about even before this virus hit but first, autocrats and we're back in 30 seconds. autocrats and we're back in 30 seconds. >>> donald

i know democrats didn't vote for donald trump, weren't happy president trump won, but the system is the system. it has a rules and process, ritual like we are watching today. four years ago, the state was red if you go back in time. this was key to the trump victory. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, arizona, as they count votes. those are big flips. coming to 2020, this is the great irony, not strong enough word, president trump celebrated getting these four years ago, joe biden gets them this time. absolute affirmation of his campaign. what did he say at the outset? lot of doubts, he said i can flip pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin back. you watched this play out, wolf, he will get the ten electoral votes in wisconsin. that's what he promised at the beginning. that's why he is going to be president-elect at the end of the day. >> we watching it unfold live, what's going on in wisconsin now. the governor is going to be reading the votes, ten electoral votes in wisconsin right now. as we wait the official word in wisconsin, david chalian is joining us. wisconsin turned out to be criti

donald trump planned to do that, donald trump thought it was in the bag. because he put three of those justices on the supreme court. today the united states supreme court refused to even consider, even hear or consider a case brought to invalidate millions of mail-in ballots in pennsylvania. donald trump was expecting his united states supreme court to issue an historic opinion invalidating pennsylvania's mail-in ballots and instead -- instead -- he got this. this piece of paper. i'm not sure if the light can show you this correctly, but it's this tiny little piece of print here. that's the whole thing. this is the supreme court's way of saying, you are out of your mind. it is an order from the supreme court. it does not have any justices' names attached as the authors of the order, which means it is a unanimous order of the united states supreme court. and it simply says the request to hear the case by the supreme court is denied. they don't even bother to give a reason for the denial because the case itself is so preposterous, so insulting to them, that

it's not just about donald trump. it's about things that other members of his administration might have done that have been exposed during the course of this administration. we don't know about ivanka. we don't know what trade issues she may have been involved with or how her and jared kushner made $80 million while still in the white house. there sore many different instances where they are legally exposed at the state level. you'll have republicans that try to defend it with crazy distracting lawsuits but a lot of democrats at the state level and, hey, maybe even an anti-trump republican in one of these states. maybe in virginia. maybe in maryland. i'll take a pot shot at trump because i want to establish i'm a new kind of republican going forward. >> jason stays with me. dan, about 30 seconds left. i have to save time for dr. fauci. on the flip side, what do you say to critics across the country, maga supporters who say, oh, cy vance who you worked with, new york democrat type. just wants to torture donald trump. t

president donald trump has signed into law a $900000000000.00 coronavirus relief package that would deliver money directly to businesses and individual taxpayers president retreated from his fret to veto the bill and from his demand that congress increase stimulus checks from $600.00 per adult to 2000 that's something democrats pushed for and his own democrats own republican party opposed the delay of almost a week meant that unemployment benefits lapsed for millions of people and threatened a government shutdown. go over to our correspondent in washington oliver going to have you with us this relief package has been a long time coming what is in it exactly and for whom. so we're talking about a more than 2 trillion dollar. u.s. dollar relief package william $900000000000.00 u.s. dollars in direct aid and $1.00 trillion to fund government agencies so large amounts of money in the 2nd relief package since the pandemic began so mostly that money is used to provide financial support for businesses for unemployed individuals as well as for families and then every religious person would receive

he was appointed by donald trump. donald trump put him in that job. he's a political appointee.s charged with this mission of securing the election. and he was basically a good soldier until it got to the point where after the election he just couldn't sit silent when the president and his allies were putting out false claim after false claim after false claim alleging some multi-country global conspiracy of vote switching and machines and whatever. and he just said enough. and put out that statement. and was obviously fired as a result of it. i just -- that was sort of last week's news. we've all sort of moved on. it is just a profound event and something that i don't know that we've seen before in america. >> well, we haven't moved on and i just want to underscore your point. because it is a very good one. this is a call, i think you said this, from inside of the house. and frankly, at the beginning of the trump presidency, so was jim comey. he thought he could continue to serve as fbi director even under trump. so did don mcgahn, he testified 30 hours in front of the mueller

people understood that donald trump had access to treatments that their loved ones did not. and, while trump seemed to want to signal that covid was not that big of a deal and, you know, he had some sort of super constitution that made him superhuman or something, that was so at odds with the reality that people were seeing and feeling in their communities in their homes. i don't think it quite sent the message that he thought it would. >> gromer? >> a lot of the times, the president's first instinct is to go to his showmanship background. this was not the last 15 minutes of the apprentice or celebrity apprentice, you know? this was a real situation, a serious situation where you are trying to set a tone for the rest of the country. you just had covid-19, you had, as karen pointed out, treatment that other americans cannot get and here you are in the moment where, and jonathan talked about the opportunity to be presidential or used the moment in a way to be a face or show leadership. he could've emerged, made a speech about hey, i have dealt with this, no one should want this
