that donald trump deserves. and we are not going to relent the january six commission, they are not going to relent, and i promise you viewers, who has a, senator very active on twitter, they recognize that there is an inside game and outside game, this is the outside game on accountability. the inside game is as a relates to voting, writes is something that if we want to make sure that donald trump cannot be successful in trying to do many of these tactics again in 2024, the senate needs to step up and do its part, because i can bring a lawsuit, my colleagues can bring lawsuits, we can pass legislation in the house, but this is an all hands on deck effort. and it's just as important is anything that i did in the courtroom today. >> congressman eric swalwell and neil, thank you very much for starting off our discussion tonight. at the end of the hour tonight, we will have a special last word, about the loss of sydney poitier and other greats, who we lost this weekend, including some dear friends of mine. coming

and supporter of donald trump who publicly believes donald trump has never done anything wrong,ho had conversations with donald trump on january 6 would not want to go to the committee and say to the committee under oath, here are all the good things donald trump said on january 6. here is all the correct things. here is all the things the president said that are exactly what you would want the president to say in that situation. so maybe jim jordan doesn't have anything good to see about donald trump to the committee if he is under oath. >> well, i think it's pretty clear he is hiding something. he says he doesn't have anything to hide, but he is hiding something. and you know what? jim jordan is not wrong when he says it's not about him. it's actually not about him. it's about our democracy. it's about our constitution, and it's about the need to get to the bottom of a president who tried to overthrow an election. so i think he does have something to hide. it's clear that if he doesn't want toe testify before the committee, he is hiding something. that's my view. >> the presid

thanks to the january six committee we now know that donald trump, and what donald trump was doing during the worst of the attack. >> the committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television. as the assault on the capitol occurred. we know, as he was sitting there in the dining room next to the oval office, members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television to tell people to stop. we know leader mccarthy was pleading with him to do that. we know members of his family, we know his daughter, we have four centers to money that is daughter, of ankara, when in it least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. >> we always knew that the house republican leader, kevin mccarthy, was finding the creation of this committee because, among other, things he was afraid of what it would reveal about him. we now know, after congresswoman liz cheney said that yesterday, that kevin mccarthy was pleading with donald trump to go on television and tell the people who he said up to the capitol. to lead the capi

biden and donald trump. biden is beak and we need people who will keep america strong. host: who do you think that might be in 2024? who would you like to see? caller: that is a good question. at this point right now, i am trying to educate myself and trying to look at the candidates, but i heard earlier that you had a guest talking about governor desantis. i am not thrilled about him, but i am very much in advocate for someone who will stand up and do the right thing for america, instead of trying to divide us. you had a collar earlier you mentioned the gop has no policy. the gop has a policy. they have a list of policies that they are trying to implement. for example, state legislators are trying to suppress voters. all these laws are trying to suppress the vote. gerrymandering, favoring the gop , and finally, all this hate that has-beens viewed from republic -- has been spewed from republicans. somebody made a comment about the red states and blue states being separated. that is un-american. that is not w

donald trump sent me there. you have the video of donald trump sending them there. lying to them and saying that he was going to walk up there with them. can that be linked up in some criminal action against the president? >> yes, absolutely. and i think the key fact, adding to everything you just said, is after, while these riots are going on, what does trump do? he sits on his hands for 187 minutes. and so i think both for trump and for the rioters themselves, i don't think there's any first amendment defense with due respect to what was just said a moment ago. i mean, there is -- the first amendment does not protect that kind of conduct. and to me the most heart breaking thing, lawrence, is that a year ago tonight we had republicans and democrats both condemning not just the rioters but condemning donald trump or at least as an action, indeed inaction as well. i remember some commentators said, oh, this will be whitewashed and forgotten. i said, no, this is a turning point. this is when people stared into the abyss and the republican party realized what donald tr

, donald trump jr.pite numerous attempts to delay the investigation, we're confident that questions will be answered and truth uncovered because no one is above the law. joining our discussion, tim o'brien, author of "trump nation" and former acting solicitor general and msnbc legal contributor. when you read the argument sequence dealing with these subpoenas, what is your sense of enforceability of the subpoenas is headed? >> these subpoenas are going to be enforced. today's revelations think are significant because what she show is the attorney general is seeking information about the books and answers to questions, to get the information under oath, why trump and his kids are resisting so much. but trump books appear honestly more cooked than a trump steak at his hotel. the "washington post" reported that 40 wall street, evalated at $16.7 million talking to property tax officials. and this is really significant, this is theft against our taxpayers. it's as if trump and his kids went into the new york

donald trump's the boss until he is not. below him that hates each other, that is constantly scheming, that has one eye on trump's help, on his fitness. wondering what he is going to do. so there will be a lot of people quickly out of the gates. but nothing will happen until trump makes his decision. he's got the party as a hostage. their willful, in the sense that most of them are hostages anymore, they're accomplices. but in totality, it's would hold the whole country hostage as we wait to see what donald trump does heading into 2024. but as you look right now, democrat have a lot of work to do and have to change the terrain of fighting on immediately to be in a position to prevail in these 2022 midterms, excuse me, trajectory that they are on the lane that they are in, is headed towards defeat. and to see a republican speaker in the constitutional line of succession which will set off two years of chaos, nihilism and sabotage of the public interest in the biden steve presidency. schmidt, thank you very much for joining us

donald trump's fifth and final national security adviser, keith kellogg, is quoted in peril, giving donald trump similar advice to the man stephanie grisham says, was gleefully watching tv. sir, vice president is secure, kellogg told trump. where is mike? trump asked. the secret service has. him there down in the basement. they're okay and he's not going to get in the vehicle. he knows, kellogg said, that if they put your ass in the vehicle, they're going to take you somewhere. mister president, he added, you really should do a tweet. on capitol hill, nobody is carrying a tv on their shoulder. you need to get a tweet out real quick. help control the crowd up there. this is out of control. they're not going to be able to control this. sir, they're not prepared for it. once the mob starts turning like that, you've lost it, he said. yeah, trump said. trump blinken kept watching television. kellogg looked around and realize the west wing was nearly empty. meadows was in his office, but trump was essentially alone. leading off our discussion tonight, bob woodward, two-time pulitzer prize-winnin

, pero veamos dÓnde estaba el expresidente donald trump. >> el expresidente donald trump tenÍa una, el siguiente evento pÚblico serÁ en arizona el prÓximo dÍa 15 y allÍ va a expander mucho >> ya se sabe que la mayorÍa de los estadounidenses considera que el asalto al capitolio por parte de los seguidores del expresidente donald trump fue un acto violento, el 68% de los encuestados seÑalÓ que los acontecimientos fueron un claro ejemplo de violencia polÍtica y un 32% asegura que sÓlo se tratÓ de un incidente aislado, si la democracia de estados unidos estÁ en la actualidad en peligro, un 66% dijo que estÁ amenazada, mientras que un 33% respondiÓ que la democracia en nuestro paÍs no corre ningÚn riesgo. la encuesta entrevistÓ un poco mÁs de 2000 personas entre el 27 y 30 de diciembre del aÑo pasado. >> padres que recibieran cheque de ayuda por sus hijos, fue el servicio de impuesto y anunciÓ el envÍo de cartas donde informa que algunos contribuyentes recibieron mÁs dinero del que les correspondÍa y como nos cuenta socorro cruz, algunas familias tendrÍa que devolverse dinero. >> la tem

donald trump was going to donald trump. that meant holding on to power. the constitution be dammed. >> daniel golden, as you read the information today with prosecutor's eye, what do you see in the flow of the texts? >> i see a couple of things. i think what they are starting to do now they obtained the documents is starting to slowly drip, drip them out so that the public can get a sense of what the documentary evidence is. i don't think they expect a ton of cooperation from sean hannity which is why they want to lay it out in the letter. it puts more pressure on him now that we know he was in the inner circle, talking to mark meadows. clearly having a good understanding of what was planned for january 6, what the discussions were and what the resistance was from the white house council's office. i think we should expect to continue to see more of the documentary evidence. what we don't know is what the testimony from the witnesses has been. that will likely come out in public hearings that my former boss, adam schiff said would begin in as little as wee

and there's a lot, donald trump, in his po. and today in his speech, joe biden, there was no, there was no concession to the other side. there was no healing till he went for donald trump again and again without actually using his name. yes, that's what he tries to do. he really tries to avoid mentioning a him by name. he just refers to him as the former president, as he tries not to give him any more power. but indeed, as william just pointed out, phil, he really vent after donald trump and for a reason he might only have like one actually less than a year left in which he has the majority because of the upcoming mid terms. and this was a clear call for action also to the senate to pass through or writing a voting rights or legislation to use these last months of the majority of the democrats to really make everything which can kind of secure the american democracy. because, i mean, i think he and, and as did vice a president carmella harris made it crystal clear. this is a crucial moment in american history. this is, everythi

by a never named donald trump. and steven spielberg never showed jaws the show. and the what made it one of the most guessed terrifying movies of all time. and joe biden runs at risk of enlarging this boogie man that's out there by not, but by constantly referring to him. this man behind the curtain. um and they, there's a wrist there. he's walking a very fine line. you can't ignore the elephant in the room. no pun, attendance is republicans there. i commer mascots the elephant. but when you address it, you make him more powerful, more strong, remembered donald trump is banned from social media. he's very quiet. we can't hear him right now. um, and so how to address him, how to talk about him is a really risky move for joe biden. he the president joe biden runs the risk of, of bringing himself down to the level of donald trump, who he himself says as a defeated president. and what the see, the days and weeks go on as we had towards the mid terms in november. how the democrats are going to play this. because donald

, donald trump jr. ka trump to comply with our investigation into the trump organization's financial dealings. i want to welcome back daniel goldman, former united states district attorney for the district of new. also served during the first trump impeachment. i do not know if you had a chance daniel to go through the reporting on this. it does seem that the attorney general of new york state is making the case that donald trump, donald trump jr., and ivanka trump provided misleading financial representations to institutions that the former president quote, had authority over a wide swath of conduct by the trump organization, involving misstatements to counter parties, including financial institutions and the internal revenue service. would you make of this, if you've had a chance to look at it, what is new and important? >> what is new is some details about what her civil investigation relates to. we've known there has been an ongoing civil investigation into the trump organization in the internal gene

we had talking about a possible joe biden and donald trump we match. this year's congressional election night change 2024. welcome to washington journal and happy new year. do you want to see a biden/trump rematch in 2024? lines for democrats is (202) 748-8000. republicans (202) 748-8001. independent at (202) 748-8002. you can text us at (202) 748-8003. we will hear from both men and the most recent comments on whether they will run. go ahead and start dialing. we are joined by our goes -- our guest. happy and good morning. guest: good morning and happy morning -- happy new year's tear viewers. host: we are to have here is out -- two and a half years out, but tell us why it is important for campaigns to start this early on a potential run in 2024. guest: here we are at the beginning of 2022. the race for the white house began almost a year ago after president biden's inauguration. former president immediately started to flirt with making another run in 2024. here we are. we have been dealing with this and we will continue to deal with this through 2022.

he still did not mention donald trump by his name terms of that support for donald trump, it is stillu believe some of the poles. 60% of republicans it shows still believe the election was rigged and back donald trump, thatjoe biden is the illegitimate president. it was interesting thatjoe biden mentioned he won the election fairly. if you look at this day of commemorating those who died in the riots and the police who helped as well and paying tribute to the capitol police force, there were really only two republicans in the house for the minutes of silence. only two and that gives a real sense of where the republican party is at at the moment. they still find donald trump incredibly invaluable because we have elections coming up and they want and need his support. we will be coming back to washington later in the programme but thank you. let's get some of the day's other news: thousands of people have taken to the streets in the sudanese capital, khartoum, to protest against military rule. security services have fired teargas at demonstrators near the presidential palace. it's the f

, donald trump jr.ed misleading financial representations to institutions at the former president, quote, had ultimate authority over a wide swath of conduct by the trump organization involving misstatements to counter parties, including financial institutions and the internal revenue service. what do you make of this if you had a chance to look at it? what is new in here and important? >> what's new is some details about what her civil investigation relates to. we've known there has been an ongoing civil investigation into the trump organization in the attorney general's office, which is separate and parallel to the criminal investigation that the attorney general is involved with as well as the manhattan d.a.'s office, who is leading that investigation. and it was certainly around the trump organization's finances. but now what we are learning from this filing and that press release tonight is that the allegations are that donald trump, donald trump jr. and ivanka trump were very involved in exaggerat

but it didn't make any difference because donald trump was going to be donald trump. and that man holding on to power. >> david goldman, as you read this information today with the prosecutors i, what do you see in the flow of those text? >> i see a couple of things. i think they are starting to do now that they have obtained these documents is starting to slowly drip them out. so the public can get a sense of what the documentary evidence is. i don't think that they expect a ton of cooperation from sean hannity which is why they want to lay it all out in the letter. it puts a lot more pressure on him now that we all know that he was in the inner circle as claire mccaskill so rightly said. talking to mark meadows and having a good understanding of what was planned for january six. also what the discussions were, what the resistance was from the white house counsel's office. so, i think that we should expect to continue to see more and more of the documentary evidence. what we don't know is what the testimony from the witnesses have been. and that will likely come out

every what if associated with donald trump's attempt to overturn the election helps identify areas oforgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger had found the votes donald trump called and asked him to find? chad wolf and the voting machines, judges and the big lie lawsuits, jeff rosen and those massive threats of resignation at doj, each and every one, results of a stress test. something jonathan carl addresses, writing quote, none of these people had the authority to do what trump demanded, but there's no guarantee the orderly transfer of power on january 20th would have happened if they had tried to do what he demanded. the system held. democracy prevailed. but there were many steps along the way where we were perilously close to a complete breakdown. a true constitutional crisis. joining us now is jonathan karl and congressman pete aguilar of california is here. a member of the house january 6 select committee. congressman, i start with you. your colleague, congressman raskin, was on at the top of the last hour describing these three rings of your investigation. the rioters them

these still staggering scenes were a last—ditch attempt to overturn the election loss of donald trumprump! his supporters marched the short distance from a rally he'd been holding to the capitol building, where congress was in session to confirm joe biden�*s win. a protester was shot dead at the doors of the speakers lobby, and the attack went on for hours. four others died, including a police officer. nearly 140 of his security colleagues were injured. a year on inside the very building that was attacked, a minute's silence was held in remembrance. reporter: mr president, how are you feeling - about the day, sir? joe biden delivered an impassioned speech to mark a day when he said a dagger had been held at the throat of democracy because of lies about the election spread by donald trump. because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest america's interest, and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution, he can't accept he lost. in the weeks that followed the storming of the capitol, hundreds of people were rounded u

demonstrating what donald trump demands from any republican candidate who he will endorse. n. >> who won the election? you are right, trump won. trump won. we are going to fix 2020, i'm hoping that we are going to decertify 2020, how about you? >> trump won, see you later. >> and no more are they going to be able to get away with this kind of deception, this kind of fraud. and illegal activity. not only people in general, but the election workers. we want indictments of the election workers, so that they don't continue to do this. >> i'm sure that you have read my name in the paper, oh well. screw the media. the fake media right back there that donald trump always points them out. fake news media, we won the fake news media. who on the fake news media. i don't believe a war they say. i don't believe where they say, where they print. have had several media outlets called me, washington post cnn they want to. no why i was a trump elector. donald trump won this election. i call upon the arizona legislator, to vote to decertify the 2020 election. >> steve schmidt that final spea

donald trump won this election. i call upon the arizona legislature to vote to decertify the 2020 election. >> that final speaker of course was not a trump elector. he engaged in that criminal conspiracy to actually create fake electors to somehow create a donald trump presidency where there was none. and so that that's what we're going to be seeing. at all of the trump rallies. >> we sure are. it will only get crazier. i think that the great deficiency in this moment in america's life in the public square in american life is this singular fact. nobody knows what to call that. that thing that we just watched. what is that? how do we think about that in 2022? is it fair to look at it and say that this is the legacy of, this is the descendant of a george wallace rally. is this the descendant of a bill connor rally? i think it is fair to say that in substantial measure. is it an extremist movement? does it have fascist markers? appropriate to say it's fascist and it's an autocratic movement. i think it is. you saw one w

making sure that people realize donald trump is the way he operate is donald trump and how he's done it for a long time. he does not think about democracy in the same way that you outline or a lot of people who are in the building right behind us think about it. we do have to walk and figure out how to chew gum at the same time. the white house is trying to figure out what's the messaging around inflation and how do we talk about getting back to build back better bill and how do you talk about the infrastructure bill. we are thinking about how important democracy is. it's a hard balance. it's not something that's animating voters right now. i honestly find it shocking. i think about it quite a bit. >> there is been a lesson for i think a lot of us over the past five years. the things that donald trump did day in and day out that were so shocking and ill-liberal that led to january 6th. we found a lot of voters didn't care about it. okay, whatever happened in d.c. they were concerned of the economy and the pandemic and getting their kids back to school and virginia concerned of inflat

what about donald trump? he gave a statement saying he still thinks the election was fraudulent a year wrong. do you think trump's base still believes that oh, of course i think the base things that it's fraudulent. what's unfortunate here is that we haven't been able to have a conversation about how american politics is built upon fraudulent behavior where so and aren't able to participate in the civil democratic process of voting. we're gerrymandering and redistricting, the redrawing of lines where a person can vote for a particular representative gets changed to skewed towards the white and the rich. there are some fundamental issues, not even don't forget the electoral college, which is another way of counting beyond just the popular votes of who wins the election and that these are individuals representing numbers, not necessarily the popular vote numbers themselves. and it's just unfortunate that we can have that conversation about the fundamental flaws in us democracy. and yet we have kind of the show b

his name was donald trump.emocratic colleagues and constituents irritated because they say, you need to go just as dirty as the republicans have gone. you know what? i think there are constitutional order is such that we don't want to go just as dirty as donald trump would be willing to go. >> do you think, though, that you have seen enough evidence that if he wasn't donald trump, and he wasn't in another party, that firsthand witness accounts of a deadly insurrection playing out in the tv and no action taken would at least represent enough in terms of what's in the public view to be examining that? >> well, let me answer that question both from a knowledgeable standpoint and a completely unknowledgeable standpoint. from a knowledgeable standpoint, i'm in politics, right? had hillary clinton or al gore or barack obama done 2% of the things that donald trump did, he would have been crucified or she would have been crucified and i know that because benghazi, in which hillary clinton did nothing, coughed up nine d

donald trump is still puppeteer in the republican party. he is handpicking candidates that he wants to win in primaries. the litmus test is the 2020 election still for him. do you believe it was rigged and stolen from donald trump? if you believe that, then you're in his good graces and maybe he'll support you. and that support will bring you money, and that support will bring you voters. and so he's still running things a year later. it looked in the immediate aftermath, when lindsey graham went on the floor and said enough is enough, it looked like, well, maybe things would shift. but they haven't shismfted. in fact, donald trump has consolidated his support among fervent republicans, and he runs the party a year later, and that is another reason that i think joe biden felt that he had to come out and give this direct speech, challenging the belief that the election was stolen. >> gloria, david, susan, tim, thank you all very much. >>> join jake tapper, anderson cooper for an unprecedented gathering of police, lawmakers, and leaders on th

president biden has pin the blame for the events on donald trump. on. the republican voice insurrection. the republican voice in the republican _ insurrection. the republican voice in the republican voter _ insurrection. the republican voice in the republican voter and - insurrection. the republican voice in the republican voter and the i in the republican voter and the transborder that has been smeared constantly— transborder that has been smeared constantly over this past year. i want _ constantly over this past year. i want to — constantly over this past year. i want to know that on january the 6th i was _ want to know that on january the 6th i was very— want to know that on january the 6th i was very upset about what happened that day and it was because a complete leap interrupted the work that we _ complete leap interrupted the work that we had worked very hard on all throughout— that we had worked very hard on all throughout christmas preparing for january— throughout christmas preparing for january the 6th to object on behalf of americans that

it's not supposed to be the way donald trump thought about it, trump judges and obama judges. they're just federal judges. and i want to commend here the judges but also the lawyers involved in this for the january 6th committee because everyone in this case understood that donald trump has one signature move, which is delay. and they litigated this thing and decided this thing in the opposite of the way all the other trump stuff has been done. i mean, this case was actually filed on my mom's birthday, october 18th, three months and one day ago. and they went through all three layers of our court system. and the judges all ruled really quickly because they understand there's a need to finally get at the truth and trump's been evading that for so, so long. >> what does it mean for steve bannon, mark meadows, and everyone else in the trump team who are trying to evade the committee's subpoenas? >> i think the technical legal term is deep doo-doo, lawrence. it's a real problem for them. so remember that steve bannon has been indicted already for contempt for not giving these answ

he blamed donald trump for mob rule taking over constitution. >> absolutely. the criminal law aspect of it of questions of trump's intent. he sat there in his private dining room by the oval office watching this for hours while people were pleading with him including his daughter and chief of staff and probably people calling him on the phone to say something and do something and stop it. we hear that he was watching it with glee. he wanted this to happen. heo wanted anything to happen that would stop delay and hinder the execution of the laws of the united states that were transfer power into biden. that was some ofth the most telling w pieces of evidence th we have. >> and george, you can hear it on closing arguments against the president. he seems to get away with everything. you almost hear a closing argument of the president being apart of this sedition sitting there watching gleefully and wanting the riot to go on and the prosecution tells the jury and they finally dragged him out hours later to give a recorded message to stop the rioters and stop the sed

c. president biden describes donald trump is the 1st u. s. president to refuse to accept the will of the american people also on the program doesn't scale this protest. as in kazakhstan, battle security forces in the worst and rest for 30 years, president appeals for help on former soviet states led by russia send in troops. ah, i'm feel gail, welcome to the program. u. s. president joe biden has marked the 1st anniversary of the storming of the u. s. little one. a violent mob of trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of the 2020 election results and biden's. when in his speech, the president sought to lay out the truth of what happened that day. a year on many trumps porters continued to spread a false narratives about the attack. and many republican lawmakers still refused to acknowledge that president by the one the election. he said that american democracy was under threats as long as that discord remained. he also had a scathing assessment of his predecessor, who he said, set the state for the attack by continuously sewi

joining us now, daniel goldman -- during the first impeachment trial of donald trump. also former assistant u.s. attorney, and an embassy -- senior columbus for bloomberg. he is author of the book, trump nation. daniel goldman, let me begin with you, and what you read in this attorney generals filings. >> well, it's quite a filing. somewhat unexpected, i think, at this stage of the civil investigation. in particular, because of the parallel criminal investigation that is going on. incredible details about the various ways that the attorney generals office has uncovered that donald trump, and the trump organization, and his children, after he took over, misstated, over inflated values of their properties, in order to get financial benefits, in a way of loans, insurance, and tax deductions. it is quite an extraordinary recitation of those facts. some of which are pretty alarming, some of which are somewhat humorous, including the fact that donald trump represented that's apartment in new york is worth 300 and $27 million, which i believe would be the most expensive resid

he hates donald trump.out the support of trumpist voters, so he tries to thread the needle. the same thing is true on voting rights. does he want to change the electoral count act? yes. is that a good idea? yes. has he been leading at the forefront of blocking any kind of further voting rights legislation of getting through the united states senate that would address the things that are going on in the trumpist republican party in states around the country? yes. he's done both those things. and so i think people are right. the only way to properly analyze mcconnell all the time is he's an institutionalist when it serves his purposes. he's a trumpist enabler when it serves his purposes. ultimately mcconnell is always that angel dancing on the head of the pin. he would love donald trump and the trumpists to go away but he's recognizing they're not going away and if he's going to maintain power he has to court them to some degree. we watch him pull off this balancing act every day, 24/7. does he like it? i don

you may remember when he endorsed donald trump in the 2016 campaign after trump insulted his wife and accused his father of being involved in the kennedy assassination. in that regard it's not surprising that ted cruz went on tucker carlson show, the night after tucker attacked him to humiliate himself. to grovel, to apologize in a mealy mouth fashion and get wallops. >> that's a lie. you told that lie on purpose. i'm wondering why you did. >> thank you for having me on. i sent you a text and said listen, i'd like to go on because the way i phrased things yesterday was sloppy and dumb. >> i donts buy that. i don't buy that. i've known you a long time since before you went to the senate. you're a supreme court contender. you take words seriously and every word, you repeated that phrase. i do not believe you used that accident accidentally. i don't. >> as a result, it's caused a lot of people to misunderstand what i meant. let me tell you what i meant to say. what i was referring to are the limited number of people who engaged in violent attacks against police officers. >> we cut it off

either looking like donald trump clones, or standing and profile, you know, kind of boyles of donald trump. wow. see, let me tell you this night. i know that you, you take offense to this, but you are very good friend of joe mansion. and i think, i think if he changed parties in ran for ran for president, he would do very well. you know, my mother is a big magic fan. let's just put it that way. i know you just need to have some leadership. some of the lead, who will bring the country together? that being said, i think a lot of republicans are, are looking through 2 lenses. one is, how did you handle coven? and i think that that really does disqualify president trump, and i think a disqualifies my parents. i like both those guys. i supported both of them. but the, the, the mishandling of cove, it is a real blot on both the presidencies of president trump. and i've jo, bye, and so i think if you look at something like that, iran, the santa is really kind of stands out and says, listen, you know exactly the right way. he, he, he did all the things that a republican would want to be handl

donald trump cares. soon as this story broke that we were meeting, guess who doksed my phone number, the people close to donald trump in maga circles and my phone was melting down with messages from his supporters who said miles, how dare 30 people counteract the 80 million of us. what that tells me is that they are spooked. donald trump is spooked. he knows it, and it's why he hasn't said anything this week about us meeting behind the scenes. he is worried. he's worriedabout the contact these people can have on his political plans, and that's why we're rolling forward. >> i'm glad you're rolling forward, but there are some hills to climb as you make that roll. based on what i'm going to share with the new results from the gallop poll, it shows that overall slightly more u.s. adults reported leaning democrat in 2021. okay, that's for the whole year. however, look at the fourth quarter. that saw a dramatic shift in party preference with republicans having a five-point advantage over democrats. that's in t

donald trump started this all.ted it by lying about the election even before it happened, and he kept -- he was the one who basically told them to go up on capitol hill. and there are any number of theories he could be, you know, potentially held criminally liable for this stuff. i mean, harry litman, who you just had on, talked about 18 usc 1215-2, which is the perfect fit. it talks about, you know, criminalizes -- it says if somebody should go to jail for not more than 20 years if they corruptly object instruct, influence or impede any official proceeding, that close a proceeding of congress, and the judges in this district and the district of columbia have held that official proceeding of congress includes the january 6th counting of electoral voits for the joint session. the question is, did he try to obstruct, influence, conspire, obstruct or influence or impede that proceeding? yes. did he do it corruptly. let us count the ways. he lied his ass for two months about the election. that seems pretty corrupt. he

trump administration that had been turned over to the committee since the supreme court crushed donald trump's attempt to block the delivery of those top of his. and among those documents include certificates that contain these of trump supporters who falsely claimed to be the rightful legally lawful electors in georgia, arizona, michigan, pennsylvania, new mexico, nevada, all states that biden won. lisa monaco said this about those elector certifications. our prosecutors are looking at those and i can't say anything more on ongoing investigations. but more broadly, look, the attorney general has been very, very clear. we are going to follow the facts in the law wherever they lead to address conduct of any kind and at any level. this is part of an assault on our democracy. it has now been 42 days since the house of representatives sent a criminal referral of white house -- former white house chief of staff mark meadows to the justice department recommending that meadows be charged with contempt of congress. the justice department charged steve bannon with contempt of congress 22 days after the

he's been endorsed by donald trump. >> there is a civil war going on right now in the republican partyhe direction of the republican party. i believe the president trump movement, we have the vast majority of the country. >> i think some people would've looked to t events of january 6 and thought, i don't want to be part of that. >> the mob was fed lies. >> in the days after the storming of the capitol, senior republicans condemned to the attack, but when it came to action, the vast majory of republicans voted not to impeach donald trump. but speaking today in the building that was attacked, joe biden squarely laid the blame on what he called a web of lies about the election spread by the former president. >> he values power over principle. he sees his own interest as more important than america's interest. his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept that he lost. >> but forll the condemnation he has received for his involvement in those violent events, donald trump enjoys the support of millions of americans, and in his party, it is thos

while hundreds of people have since been charged, none have been key associates of donald trump. mr trump seems to be contemplating another run for the white house, still insisting, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen. well, my guest is american constitutional law professor laurence tribe, who contends that the us system of government is now in peril. how strong is his case? professor laurence tribe in massachusetts, thank you. professor tribe, it is, as i say, one year since those extraordinary events on capitol hill. isn't it time to be positive? time to say that, despite those extraordinary events, the us institutions of government withstood the storm? well, i wish we could say that, because i am an optimist by nature, but we came so close to losing our democracy that simply basking in our having survived would be a dangerous course of action. it turns out even though trump is no longer president, that he has learned quite a bit from his failure to successfully overturn the results of the last election to the point where he and a very loyal following and tens of
