jared kushner has been mia too. he's in israel this week.e's now returned but he drew the wrath of some in the white house for not being present at a moment of crisis for the president. it's a small, small group of some conspiracy theorists touting lawyers like sidney powell and rudy giuliani who are in the president's ear, michael flynn another who's called for martial law. he has the president's ear. very few other republicans do at this moment. and we're seeing him act alone. he is sort of ending his time in the white house. four long weeks to go, increasingly isolated but also completely unbound and lashing out at staff, republicans and making everyone's life difficult right now while abdicating his leadership roles during the pandemic. >> yeah, i think the absence of jared kushner is very interesting because he's supposed to be the secretary of all things and he's vanished. let me turn to you congressman, you were a player in this bill. you were a co-chair. you fought for certain things. i think at this point, the american people want t

the president's daughter, ivanka, is married to jared. jared's father, charles, served time in prison after he was convicted on 18 felony counts of tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions as well as witness retaliation charges and those related to a scheme in which he videotaped his sister's husband with a prostitute, and then he sent the video of that man with the prostitute to his sister. so he sent his sister a video of her husband with a prostitute. charles kushner had been under campaign finance investigation. he was reportedly angry at his sister for cooperating in that investigation. hence, the weird taping her husband with a hooker scheme and hence the retaliating against a witness charge. charles kushner was prosecuted for these crimes by a u.s. attorney at the time named chris christie. yes, that chris christie. something jared kushner has reportedly been holding a grudge about ever since. but tonight jared's dad gets a full pardon, which i believe is trump's first foray into pardons for his own family, in this case famil

jared and i never got sideways on the concept. and i think the worst thing to ever do was to break us two up. that was a decision that will go down if the president loses, the worst decision. >> martha: so jared was sidelined when you were sidelined? >> brad: this is my opinion. i think he was slightly sidelined, not as much as me. but he said hands off. okay. and i think, you know since november 2016 commit jared and i talked in our plan every day. what to do. and i think our relationship will go down as one that is pretty amazing politics. but it got sidelined in the summer and i don't know why. i have no idea. i have a clue. i do. >> martha: and it is... be to all the d level people talk kids around the president that never did anything in their life and never created a business were built build anything successful talk themselves into something. i think the polling numbers were going down, they were in his ear and i was out working. >> martha: there is a story that you have already responded to about him shouting into the phon

he's the father of jared kushner, we have been told by white house officials that jared kushner did not play a role in this pardon but obviously this is something that's on everyone's mind for some time to come. another name that stood out margaret hunter who's the wife of duncan hunter, the former congressman who was pardoned last night. she's also an estranged wife of duncan hunter, they were involved in misusing campaign funds. the underlying thing here is the president mattis using his pardon power which he has been obsessed with and realized that essentially there is no curb on it and he's using it in the last days in office to try to reward people, friends and those associated with his campaign that he believes were wrongfully pursued or prosecuted. >> is there any reasons to believe these pardons went through the traditional process involving the justice department? >> no. we don't think they have so far. in the case of the 20 last night that were announced, only three of them had existing petition here with the office of pardon attorney. one of the unusual things about this pres

me about jared kushner's staff or jared kushner -- you asked me about jared kushner's staff or jared kushner. the answer to that was no. >> are you willing to turn over the documents? >> you have to ask me what is the question. you're asking a different question. >> any response -- documents with jared kushner or his staff, which is none, i'd be happy to turn over because it doesn't exist. >> the white house? >> i will discuss with the legal department. >> thank you. this is a loan that puts nearly $1 billion of public money at risk with minimal protections. that helps a private equity giant sitting on its own money. at worst, i think this was rushed into place to benefit a firm with close personal ties to the president's family, and this warrants further investigation. i want to think -- look at loans other than the yrc loan. none of them are as big, but the gao report that came out raises concerns about the process. as you noted, the defense department certified 20 companies as critical to national security. you have provided, -- loans to 11. i want to understand why you chose to s

but -- so jared doesn't have to bring it up. >> gloria, thank you so much. elie honig is with us. and so if trump does do this, first of all what is the message he'd be sending out to anyone else in hinner circle? >> so get ready, because this administration is going to go out in a blaze of corruption, a blaze of self dealing. the image that gloria is reporting is such a disturbing one because what we're seeing is people inside the white house considering what insider is going to get pardons. friend, family member, the most well connected people. look, this country has a long history of dubious use of pardons. the pardoning power is very proud, but nothing like we're setting up here. essentially they go to the insiders, the friends and family plan. but that is not how pardons a s supposed to be. >> you and i have talked about the reporting on preemptive pardons and that would exclude jared kushner's father. but when you look at the inner family, none of them has been convicted of any crimes. that said, would a potential pardon apply to -- if he were do this,

to deliver for them, to be able to be there on time, so they can have what they need. >> reporter: jaredking at amazon a year ago after he lost his job at a solar panel company. while most companies were crippled by covid, the trillion-dollar e-commerce giant tripled profits, hiring 250,000 more employees to meet demand. now jared is one of more than 1 million employees working for amazon this holiday season. >> amazon from a purely business perspective is out to dominate the world. they want to be the one-stop shop for everyone. they want people to watch their movies on their platform, on amazon prime. they want you to buy diapers from amazon. they want you to buy your books. amazon wants to be into every fiber of what we do. and eventually the trajectory that they are on, that's where they are heading. >> reporter: and during the holidays, the stakes, even higher. with in-person shopping stifled, amazon is expecting to deliver billions of packages around the world. the journey often starts in one of hundreds of massive warehouses like this one in staten island, new york, where we get a

i don't care where jared and ivanka go. move their kids, that doesn't matter what does matter is, the guy who still controls the wheels of power, as you said, he can make a difference. he can fire people. he can still make information difficult. you got to make sure that members of his administration aren't selling state secrets, that they're not behind the scenes trying to negotiate their own way out. so, we have to watch every single thing that donald trump does until the day his key card doesn't work at the white house because he has the ability that even if he technically hands over this government to joe biden on january 20th, there are so many damaging things he can do before then between the pandemic, between the economy and national security, we've got to keep our eye on him and chris wray is just one of those examples. >> charlie, you and i have had these conversations about the damage he can do in this transition, to what americans do if they go about their lives and think that masks donald really help, if they go

he also pardoned jared kushner's father. republican senator ben sasse summed it up in one quote saying, this is rotten to the core. >> the president didn't say much, leaving washington without signing or vetoing the stimulus bill, although those actions, of course, speak volumes. today, house democrats will try to pass legislation giving americans the $2,000 stimulus checks president trump abruptly requested this week. but the reality is, that's likely to fail. and so republicans are now forced to choose between backing the president or backing a bill they already voted in favor of. a bill they already supported. nebraska republican representative don bacon telling his fellow republicans, president trump has thrown the gop under the bus. all of this as unemployment benefits are set to expire in two days. a pause in student loan payments, paid family leave, eviction protections, they expire next week. and the government could shut down at midnight on monday. as all of this is going on, another 3,359 deaths reported just yeste

also on this list is jared kushner's father, charles kushner. let's tick through these. you have paul manafort and roger stone, indicted by special counsel mueller, went to trial and convicted by juries of multiple crimes. investigator says manafort broke the cooperation agreement by lying to them. roger stone has never shown remorse. both men are being rewarded for their loyalty. the president says he thinks his advisers retreated unfairly. it's worth noting the mueller report detailed in the obstruction of justice part, how trump's democrat dangled pardons as a way to protect the president, and now we're seeing the president's plan play out with the president. charles kushner, the father of president trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering and served a 24 month sentence. jared did not advocate for his father to get the pardon because it was the unspoken word between him and trump that this would happen. this is what sources have told me and my colleague. overall, the story emerging from th

joining me now, jared polis, governor of colorado. governor, good to see you. thank you for your time this evening. let me ask you about this new variant. it was a national guard member who tested positive for the new variant, first one in the country. apparently this person has not traveled, so it's literally impossible that they're the first case of the new variant in the united states. they're just the first case that we've been able to identify. what's your sense? was there something about your testing system that made this the first state to spot the variant? >> well, i'm proud of our colorado scientists and our state lab, and i think i speak on behalf of all the governors as well as every american in expressing gratitude for the role the national guard has played. they've manned testing facilities, helped staff nursing homes. they're doing an amazing job. look, i don't think anybody knows exactly how it got here. i think when we found the first case of the variant yesterday, we knew that it was already here. i think it's probably in every state, even more

donald trump jr., eric and ivanka, along with her husband jared kushner.ed by "the new york times." and joining me now is congressman adam schiff of california. chairman of the house intelligence committee. and thank you so much for being here, congressman schiff. i want to alert you and remind you of -- and i'm sure that you're aware of it -- back seemingly 147 years ago, the senate intelligence committee, your counterparts in the senate, issued criminal referrals for donald trump jr., steve bannon, jared kushner and two others, and they made those referrals to federal prosecutors. and they made these criminal referrals in a letter to the u.s. attorney's office of washington, d.c. this was in june of 2019. one section of the letter raised concerns about the testimony that donald trump jr. and kushner had given, which contradicted the testimony of one rick gates. what do you make of those referrals and can you just explain to us what that means and whether that might be why donald trump is contemplating pardons for them? >> well, i can't speak specifically

jared polis is the governor of colorado. joining us now is dr. atul ga juandy, a professor at the harvard school of public health. he's the guy we need to talk to. dr. ga juandy, thank you for taking time for us tonight. if you could help me with understanding the exponential nature of the spread of a vaccine. so the idea that this vaccine might be 50% more infectious or more contagious is much, much worse than it being 50% more fatal. >> you're talking about the variant. yes. >> yes. correct. thank you. >> yes. the most important thing about it being more contagious is that it doesn't necessarily mean it is more likely to cause serious illness or death. and yet because it is more contagious, it will fill our hospitals faster. you'll see more people in the icu, and you'll see more people die. and we've seen that happening in the uk. we're already maxing out hospitals -- a quarter of the hospital icus are filled or near full. that is a concerning situation to say the least. >> we were talking to the health director of los angeles county last night
