senator graham claims that important paperwork for judge garland is still missing. the only thing that has not been filed is judge edgarland's f.b.i. background -- garland's f.b.i. background investigation. the committee hearings have been scheduled before the f.b.i. background investigation had been submitted. for one example, the committee received then-senator jeff sessions' f.b.i. background investigation just five days before his hearing and we were six days away from a proposed hearing day so what we're asking is not unprecedented or unrealistic. senator graham points out they typically have two days of hearings, one day to question the nominee and one day to question outside witnesses. this isn't always the case. there was a one-day hearing for alberto gonzalez to be attorney general. if the goal is to ensure there is sufficient time to question the nominee and hear from outside witnesses, i'm willing to do just that. allow for two rounds of questions for the nominee and outside witness panel. i also find it surprising that senator graham objects to committee

senator graham claims important paperwork is still missing. the only thing that hasnot been filed is judge garland's fbi background investigation . as important as it is the judiciary committee has scheduled hearings for previous attorney general's nominees before the fbi background investigation had been submitted . for one example, the committee received then senator jeff sessions fbi background investigation just five days before his hearing and we are still six days away from a proposed hearing date so what we're asking is not unprecedented or unrealistic. senator graham points out the attorney general nominees typically have today hearings . one day to question the nominee, the other day to question outside witnesses. this isn't always the case . republicans held a one-day hearing to consider roberto gonzalez nomination to be attorney general but if the goal is to ensure their sufficient time to question the nominee and hear from outside witnesses i'm willing to do just that . allow for two rounds of questions on the nominee and an outsid

lindsey graham wants to run for president. graham is a smart and shrewd character.d to know him back in the day when he was a mccain day, not a trump day. he thinks he can be trump's designee in 2024. but think about it for a minute. ted cruz, josh hawley and those people, they have their own minds, they kind of have their own views of things. lindsey graham having opposed trump five years ago is now the most, not just acquiescent but sycophantic to trump. lindsey graham is playing the pure trump card. he's going to cheer on lara trump apparently if she runs for senate. north carolina maybe? and that right now more of the party is where lindsey graham is than even mitch mcconnell, let alone the seven people who courageously voted to convict trump. and i think it does make you wonder then so more of the party is more like lindsey graham. you wonder if these republican senators voted to acquit, how many of them, if it was secret ballot how they would have voted. but they know what their constituents, where they are, where the rank and file republicans are. and speakin

lindsey graham talked about that. will this weigh in -- will this weigh on the party, excuse me, in to 2022? is there even a potential for democrats to exploit here? >> absolutely. i mean, that doesn't democrats will be successful in exploiting that, but they'll try, and i think you hit the nail on the head there. i mean, this absolutely exemplified the divide in the republican party. to have mitch mcconnell's first vote not guilty, but really give a scathing address about the former president, certainly put down where he thinks he'd like to see the party go. although of course, his critics including nancy pelosi and people on the democratic side say he should have shown that same sort of passion by -- by choosing to vote guilty in the impeachment vote which would have given cover for other republicans to do the same. but either way to your question, the divide in the republican party is stronger than ever, and more present than ever after yesterday's trial. >> let me -- i want to ask both of you about this. jason mil

nick: asia graham's own words also suggest the army didn't do what it claimed.ined by "pbs newshour" that she sent to a friend four days before she died, she wrote: "i told my noncommissioned officer, and he didn't take it that serious." she writes, she then told a female sergeant, who admitted "she didn't speak up, and a similar situation happened to her when she first got here, too.” graham told others who were more senior, but "all they cared about was the army doctrine and cover up themselves i really was asking for help and therapy. i just feel mistreated.” graham moved in with her brother off-base to get away from her alleged attacker. the siblings had always been close. anthony saw his sister's descent. she started drinking and taking pills, and became self-destructive. she got dui and died of an overdose. but, in counseling, anthony says she was told not to tell anyone anything. >> they heard her story and afterwards were lik we need you to shut up about this. don't talk about it to anybody. we will take care of it. nick: last month, fort bliss charged p

graham insists anything trump said leading up to the deadly insurrection is what graham calls -- ande -- politically protected speech. tell that to the family of capitol police officer brian sicknick, who lost his life after defending lawmakers and our democracy. well, yesterday on state tv news, graham not only defended the former president, claiming the trial was unconstitutional, he threatened someone else with impeachment. >> we've opened pandora's box to future presidents, and if you use this model, i don't know how kamala harris doesn't get impeached if the republicans take over the house because she actually bailed out rioters and one of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody's head open. so we've opened pandora's box here. >> so lindsey is reaching, right? if you're wondering what all this pandora's box talk is about, this is the story. after the police killing of george employed in minneapolis last spring, thousands of people, including black lives matter supporters took to the streets. kamala harris tweeted support for donations to the minnesota freedom fun

you mentioned a conversation trump had with lindsey graham of south carolina after his acquittal graham making clear trump is still angry at a number of people though he remains on the former president's side. listen to more from lindsey graham. >> yeah, i spoke to him last night. he was grateful to his lawyers. he appreciated the help that all of us provided, you know, he's ready to move on and rebuild the republican party. he's excited about 2022. and so to the republican party, if you want to win and stop a socialist agenda, we need to work with president trump. we can't do it without him. and to you, president trump, you need to build the republican party stronger. i am into winning. and if you want to get something off your chest, fine. but i'm into winning. >> it's really curious the calculus here for lindsey graham because other republicans like senator ben sass, liz cheney, adam kinzinger, they'll tell you going with trump isn't a winning formula. they know well the gop led by trump in the last election lost the white house, lost the senate, and could not win a majority in the h

like like she said it on her own in listening to graham and kim come up with this. these these are these platforms are protected just stop informed decisions is not section 230 because section 230 has allowed them to morph into where they are now and the they are the gods above the constitution. decide who can speak you can't so what has happened to grant garcia has happened to the left is generally even though rahm talked about stock you something but. they are being protected to stop i have to run out of time you wait yeah they're protecting them and their bottom line but they're being just honest with the public they are not the 1st amendment that's in the constitution not in their terms of service here that's all the time we have i want to thank my guests in los angeles and in baltimore i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. next time remember. let's discuss. stoppable force tries to move the tail of a ball object does sound interesting. most of the united states prostitution is illegal in california. merely 5 kilometers from hollywood's tourist

well, graham is now openly doing what the old graham would have condemned. be that the graham of 2015 who condemned trump or even the graham who spent a large chunk of his career before politics as a military lawyer. because senator graham is now trying to weaponize the serious legal process of impeachment into a political attack, doing it blatantly. rushing to argue that people who married into the donald trump family are now more likely to win a senate seat someday thanks to this vote. >> north carolina, the biggest winner i think of this whole impeachment trump is lara trump. my dear friend richard burr, who i like and i've been friends to a long time, just made lara trump almost a certain nominee for the senate seat in north carolina to replace him if she runs. and i certainly would be behind her because i think she represents the future of the republican party. >> the future is i guess paved with recent history. it was just january 6th when senator graham took to the senate floor and said, "enough is enough" about pushing trump's election lies. now we c

tom: let me: graham -- let me call on graham and then general taylor. graham: thanks so much. and i think that general bridlow asked the question in chat. social media companies have to make thousands and thousands of decisions every single day on moderation that would be, frankly, very interesting and very lengthy supreme court cases. deplatforming is a policy of last resort. it builds on other terms of service that would include things like unlawful activity, incitement of violence, proving the intent to mislead, spam activity, and any number of other policies that they would try to consider first. there needs to be more transparency and accountability on what types of content can and should be moderated. i think there is a huge degree of consensus on that. there is an astonishing degree of -- degree of bipartisan consensus, which would be enough to get angst done on this set of issues come up as we know, this is not a normal moment in washington. the last point is the scale and scope of online harms today goes well beyond the policies that the united states government has a

what does graham think he can accomplish?es so publicly that there is no way to make the former president persona non grata and the best thing to do is try to persuade him to be constructive in the republican party going forward. you know, it very well could be a fool's errand and it wouldn't be the first time either graham or republicans went on a fool's errand trying to deal with the former president on a number of issues but this is really pressing because the very real concern here in washington is that if the former president puts his thumb on the scale for trump-like candidates in swing states that will decide whether or not republicans re-take control of the senate, then it could very well hurt their chances to re-take control of the senate. so that is his goal, but as you said, there is a very different school of thought in the gop and that school is try to squeeze him out and try to, you know, ignore him and that will diminish his cloud. >> i feel like we're back in 2016 with republican candidates running against don

listening to graham and kim come up with this. these these are these platforms are protected to stop informed decisions is russia section 230 because section 230 has allowed them to morph into where they are now and then they are the gods above the constitution. decide who can speak in who can't so what has happened to grant i guess it has happened to the left. generally even though rahm talked about saki and some like that but. they are being protected to stop. right out of time yeah they're protecting them and their bottom line but they're being just honest with the public they are not the 1st amendment that's in the constitution not in their terms of service here that's all the time we have i want to thank my guests in los angeles and in baltimore i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. next time remember. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the street many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to

take senator lindsey graham, for instance.6, graham tweeted if trump is nominated, we, meaning republicans, will get destroyed. then fast-forward to yesterday. the senator has a new attitude about the former president and the gop. >> he's ready to move on and rebuild the republican party. he's excited about 2022, and i'm going to go down to talk with him next week, play a little golf and florida and said, mr. president, this maga movement needs to continue. we need to unite the party. trump-plus is the way back in 2022. >> the senator didn't stop there. took it one step further. >> the biggest winner i think of this whole impeachment trial is lara trump. by dear friend richard burr alike just made lara trump almost a certain nominee for the senate seat in north carolina to replace him if she runs and i will certainly be behind her because i think she represents the future of the republican party. >> rusty jacobs is a political reporter for wunc north carolina public radio with us now. thank you so much for being with us. lara

graham, aye. >> that could be significant right there. that was one of the president's allies lindsey graham saying he wanted to change his vote. i presume that will give him some power. >> is that a vote on one witness or many witnesses? >> debate is not allowed on the vote. >> it's not debate. mr. president, it's a point of inquiry. >> that is -- i'm advised that is not allowed during the vote. >> some confusion on the senate floor in the wake of this vote to include witnesses in the trial. four republicans susan collins, lisa murkowski, mitt romney and ben sasse. pat toomey did not vote for witnesses. neither did bill cassidy of louisiana. >> it is established senate procedure that we always follow. >> as we're listening, i want to bring in heidi heitkamp. give us a sense of what we're watching on the senate floor and what this means. >> senator graham would do that because, in order to make a motion to reconsider this vote, you have to vote in the affirmative. that's why he waited for the vote count. now there will be tremendous press

lindsey graham considered it to be hearsay evidence.ot acknowledgment that it was true and they were going to enter statement into the record. and so that compromise was struck and the statement was entered into the record. republicans do really believe, that the democrats, chad, overplayed their hand here and they were forced to vote on witnesses and had to walk it back. does that really leave them -- i don't want to say at a disadvantage but a little bit of egg on their face at the very least? >> it cuts two ways. it was interesting seeing a democratic put out a statement. they got the republicans to concede that they should admit this evidence so they can put that into the record and have senators consider that as part of the overall trial record before the vote. so that was an important statement, but i look at the language being very important. and, again, don't -- forget about the political consequences, political pressures especially that the democrats are feeling. they have a narrow majority. a lot of democrats on the left that

lindsey graham has has come out of the chamber and i've spoken to fox news now i'm paraphrasing here because this is being passed on by a 3rd party and apparently what he said was that when he realized what was going on in the they were going to call witnesses he decided to change his vote because it's his intention that he wants to call witnesses in retaliation and among the witnesses he says he's going to call our members of the f.b.i. because he believes apparently in this conspiracy theory that has been circulating in the far reaches of the web that the f.b.i. were essentially stood down on the 6th of january by nancy pelosi so that the more when they were coming to capitol hill would be able to take over very easily indeed so it's clear that he wants to subpoena people from the f.b.i. and also nancy pelosi herself and any documents that they can it's an interesting take. not one i think might be successful with the senate apparently there were some words between ron johnson who is a big supporter of donald trump and mitt romney who is also a republican but has been critical of o

this is from an argument that phil graham wrote.lize that he is pretty good with numbers, but in 2020 last year the average household in the bottom 20% of earnings got $45,000 in transfer payments. now i would imagine those things are tax free and i think we all agree with what do we agree on. we all realize that people are hurting and people need financial help. there has been a lot of financial help. my concern, i think this is shared by phil graham and lawrence summers and more is the potential of overheating our economy with another $2 trillion when the per capita disposable income is up 5.5%. private business up 25%. federal reserve is estimating 4.2% growth rate for this year. imf just increased their estimate. so i realize that we had a natural disaster in 2020, but there is so much pent up demand and excess savings it will come bursting forth in economic activity. we need to be concerned about overheating our economy. in addition to that article and others like jason ferman and lawrence summers, the irs just came out with th

>> i don't know why you're punishing me making me watch lindsey graham again. points to graham and johnson for this, it was a rare honest comment from both of them over past four years. lindsey used to speak his mind but lately been a lot of bad faith bs from him. but he's telling the truth, so is ron johnson. they have both decided that they need to swallow their true feelings about donald trump in order to do what's best for the party. so if they need to pretend like an armed insurrection and coup on our capitol that resulted in death of at least one police officer was actually no big deal, not really an armed insurrection as ron johnson said, or maybe a little accountable for but not worth getting into fight over like lindsey graham is saying, that's them being honest about the moral sacrifices they feel they need to make to keep the party together and i think they're sadly right. rand paul said a third of the party would have left had they convicted donald trump. i think they're right. wrong morally but making the political calculation they need to keep thi

graham is headed down to florida. he's going to play golf. he said the maga movement needs to continue. even what mcconnell did is extremely dangerous. in his speech, what he essentially messaged was, trump did it. it was awful. but there is nothing we can do about it. that is even worse than saying, i don't think he did it. right? i would have preferred -- i don't think he really incited anything so i can't vote to convict. he said he did it and there's nothing i'm going to do about it. that embold yegs the entire movement and i'm concerned moving forward, we'll see extremism amplified. if congress isn't going to solve it, the other elements of society have to step in. i've written a column recently saying the big tech companies, social media platforms need to step in. >> how does the fbi and intelligence community police that? >> well, the good news is we've seen an unprecedented partnership between the big tech, so many platforms, and law enforcement, and it is moving forward very enly. networks not being provided. we see tens of thousands

lindsey graham has a different view.s much more aligned with what congressman kevin mccarthy, the republican leader in the house, wants to do, which is embrace trump, try to keep him in the fold. this is what graham said earlier this week on fox, really disagreeing with mcconnell's strategy of keeping trump at a distance. >> i'm more worried about 2022 than i've ever been. i don't want to eat our own. president trump is the most consequential republican in the party. if mitch mcconnell doesn't understand that, he's missing a lot. kevin mccarthy is the leader of the house republicans. he's taken a different approach to president trump. i would advise senator mcconnell to do that. >> reporter: john, this is really about the 2022 primaries, the republican primaries. if you remember this statement from donald trump earlier this week criticizing mcconnell calling him a galvanized soul. there was one thing that really stuck out to republicans about this pledge, some considered it a veiled threat, that trump will back primary c

like like she said it's unheard of in listening to graham and kim come up with this. these these are these platforms are protected to stop informed decisions it's not section 230 because section 230 has allowed them to morph into where they are now and the they are the gods above the constitution. decide who can speak you can't so what has happened to grant i guess it has happened to left this generate even though graham talked about saki and something like that but. they are being protected just stop. right out of time you wait yeah they're protecting them and their bottom line but they're being just honest with the public they are not the 1st amendment that's in the constitution not in their terms of service here that's all the time we have i want to thank my guests in los angeles and in both mark i want to thank our viewers for watching us here r.t.c. next time remember. i. know it's true it would seem that and we didn't blog but i'll blog good. i know you don't buy that in a can matter a canard while. on a bad national moment that she cannot deny. this last book g

well the little lab rats in their laboratory i mean you know they like like i'm graham said earlier he lost his you tube monetization i think was last week i lost mine last week you know i can't stop broadcasting on you tube reform about 2 weeks. they said they found some stuff but . but when you look at my account i follow all the rules since i talk about politics i check the box not for children we don't curse on you don't curse we don't put any pornography so we follow all the rules but then they say well you know we found some stuff and. 1000 stuff and you can't and march march beginning of march you can you can reapply well we know usually google you tube is 9.9 percent chance money taken away is gone but like kim said kim's. family friendly. with the you tube that goes back to what i was saying with. these corporations he put money in the you tube now you tube is like well you know we have a little sob ass not content but we don't need this and we don't need that one and we don't need to tell him my record and we just cut him off because they don't mean nothing. if we could just

literally stands, lindsey graham barely stood, to say not guilty.ch mcconnell stood to say not guilty? what did mitch mcconnell did, in minutes he stood again in the same spot and he said, there's no question that the president is practically and morally responsible for the insurrection for the attack on the capitol, it was a disgraceful dereliction of duty, you know what rang in my mind, i thought, senator mcconnell, you are talking about the president, but also you are talking about yourself. >> well, then, if we are to keep someone like mitch mcconnell from having anything to do with appointing members. i foresee people like mitch mcconnell. people like lindsey graham, people putting them on such a commission to blow it up and the only purpose would be to blow up the commission, to obfuscate and make the commission come up with a nonanswer and protect both the former president and their fellow colleagues that are also insurrectionists. do you think such a commission should be put together without congressional, particularly congressional republic

prior to joining the lab graham served in various positions in the white house for the national city council including as an advisor to the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism. brooke, over to you to help us understand what domestic extremism have been saying after generate six. >> thanks so much, will. thanks to all of you who are jeanine in from wherever youhe are, whether here in the united states or for our international audience around the world trying to make w sense of what has happened here in the united states. as will said i'm graham brooke, i work here at the atlantic council and a little bit about what we do. as willis said, we look at the online or the nexus between the online information environment and immediate harms in the real world. as a little bit of background to set up this conversation i will focus on the events that the insurrection that happened on the capital on generally six and what we saw in the lead up online and out when we are seen "after words" and after the inauguration in the online information environment. first an

does it make sense to you that lindsey graham is choosing this tack? i find it fascinating that the night of the insurrection he said he was done with trump and was out and sad at how it ended and now he's, you know, going to kiss the ring. >> yeah, lindsey graham has tried. you don't need the other 100 republicans, 200 republicans or 500 republicans. donald trump was a cancer back in 2016 to lindsey graham. he was a liar. he was going to destroy the party. you're right. there is four years intervening and the insurrection, which is i'm done with donald trump. he's going to kiss the ring. not a lot of consistency. he used to hitch his wagon to john mccain source and back in those days, lindsey graham had a consistency. now he's all over the place. what he seeks is relevance and he believes that relevance is golfing with the former president by day and being on "han "hannity" at night. i've been at this 35 years and i don't know anybody out there in the state who says what does lindsey think? we should get lindsey's advice. he believes matching up with

remember, these republicans, and they do include exactly who you may think they would include, lindsey graham, ted cruz and mike lee, are jurors in the case. they took an oath. they took an oath to be impartial jurors. senator cruz is not even trying to cover for himself. he said the meeting was held to discuss strategy for tomorrow. i mean, just imagine jurors sworn to judge a case meeting with the defense lawyers to talk strategy. i it's a mockery of the process. trump attorney david schoen was asked by manu raju was asked if the meeting was out of line. he said, quote, that's the practice of impeachment. there is not anything about the semblance of due process whatsoever. so let's just be clear again here. they did take an oath. some republican senators, these jurors, sworn to impartiality in the impeachment trial are helping the trump defense team with strategy in broad daylight. they used their identfinal day arguments to warn trump remains a danger unless he is convicted. jeff zeleny is out front live on capitol hill. jeff, what are you learning about this meeting tonight to help with s

lindsey graham clearly believes the opposite. i don't know which one is going to win out here but it remains very true that a significant porgts of the party follows frumpl and an even larger portion of republicans fear him and fear the power that he could bring to bear first in '22 in those primaries and then going forward in '24, particularly if trump himself keeps dangling the idea that he might run and blocks the field. >> david, answer that question for us that ann just raised, which is mcdonnell believing that donald trump basically lost him the senate seat -- you know, not the senate seat but control of the senate. >> sure. >> which do you think is right? >> look, the common thread that lindsey graham, mitch mcconnell and donald trump have is they are all acting in what they see as their own self interest, their own political interests. i agree fully with that. what we are seeing on display for the republicans is an identity crisis. it is not so much an electoral crisis. you can make the case republicans lost the house, th

i'm not sure i see lindsey graham doing that. i certainly see lindsey graham reaching out to his conservative base. lincoln even angered some republicans back then the republicans were the liberals and the democrats were the conservatives. and he angered -- some republicans were being more stridently appealing to the base. he really tried to appeal to both parties. host: shortly after joe biden was elected in mid november he had a piece in the washington post that is headlined channeling lincoln's ideological balancing act will lead biden to success. in his day, i want to show our audience a video of that. the cartoon showing abraham lincoln. this is from gettysburg college. the famous tightrope walker. guest: he is from france. he went over niagara falls many times. forward, backwards, he had a -- in -- on stilts, in chains. why was that difficult? he had to shift his weight in the wind a little bit. host: what was the balancing act abraham lincoln had? guest: he was attacked from the right by conservatives as being like what to

lindsey graham who on the 6th of january he's been a bit remember 1st of all lindsey graham was very anti donald trump when he was running he called them all sorts of names said you know if we if we make donald trump a candidate for president we'll get beat and we deserve it he then became a big trump supporter on the 6th of january he said that's it i'm done. you can't stand by this and word for a week later he was. actually enough one week later he became a he was back in the trump camp he traveled on to florida he played golf for them it seemed as if bridges were mended he is the guy who has said several times it's quite clear how he's going to vote he has been involved even though he's an impartial juror in discussions with the trump defense team and then when they called the vote for witnesses he changed his vote and said he wants to see witnesses so. i'm not alone in texting people and e-mailing people saying what's that all the boat what's going on because it's such a surprise if you to give me a list of senators who would vote i would have said yes spencer who did mitt romney

really, lindsay graham?r it was comrade lindsay who on january 6th called the white house and ivanka trump mid-riot pleading for trump to call off the attack, but now since he can't bring himself to convict his palm beach puppeteer for inciting the mob he is instead blaming the cops. >> it was very emotional. what were those videos and stuff like for you? >> i just can't believe that we could lose the capitol like that. i got mad. these police officers had every right to use deadly force and they should have used it. the people in -- >> wait, wait, wait. what was that part about blue lives matter? where did that go in joining me now, angela rye host of "the one-on-one with angela rye" podcast and senior adviser to the lincoln project. angela, should we pour one out for blue lives matter? apparently that's dead and apparently the cops messed up because they didn't shoot a bunch of people, per lindsay. >> it is amazing how the slogans can change in a matter of seconds, joy. what is so fascinating to me is this
