really, lindsay graham? 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

election there, and this week they expended the propose to include a close associate, senator lindsay graham wall street journal" reported new york has widened its criminal probe and that examination is on his loans on four of his properties, including trump tower. and we go to mr. butler. professor butler, good evening. >> hey, joshua. happy valentine's day. >> thank you very much and same to you. let's start with the cases in new york and georgia. where do those two investigations stand so far? >> so trump probably has more to worry about from state prosecutors than from federal prosecutors. georgia prosecutors have a legitimate beef against trump. he tried to nullify georgia's legitimate votes from counting in the presidential election and so they are looking at crimes like solicitation of election fraud, false statements and even racketeering. trump told the georgia secretary of state find 11,780 votes, and he said, and there's nothing wrong with saying you recalculated. that's pretty incriminating and it's on tape. and in new york, both the manhattan d.a. and the state's attorney genera

i think that's why lindsay graham would like them to stick— why lindsay graham would like them to stickese process arguments. i think you're going to get a lot of people _ i think you're going to get a lot of people who would be quite perturbed if he ends _ people who would be quite perturbed if he ends up coming down or his lawyers — if he ends up coming down or his lawyers come down and try to recreate — lawyers come down and try to recreate this nonsense about the election— recreate this nonsense about the election being stolen. people's tolerance for that is really low. really, — tolerance for that is really low. really, i— tolerance for that is really low. really, i think what republicans want _ really, i think what republicans want is — really, i think what republicans want is for this to be over. they wanted — want is for this to be over. they wanted to— want is for this to be over. they wanted to go away, they don't want to have _ wanted to go away, they don't want to have to— wanted to go away, they don't want to have to answer questions about him _ to have to answer questions

have a bit more nuanced opinion of the whole situation also looking past the trial like senator lindsay grahamf south carolina, a big supporter of donald trump. listen. >> you still believe president trump is the best face for the republican party? yes or no? >> i think he's -- i think he's the -- i think, yeah. i think donald trump's policies served the country well. i think donald trump has to rehabilitate himself as a politician. >> reporter: the leadership watch continues here on capitol hill. all eyes on mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer sort of waiting for them to put out the parameters, the rules for this trial to go forward. now starting on tuesday including whether there will be witnesses, if there will be a lot of time for the managers and the attorneys for the former president to make their case before the united states senate giving us some idea of just how long they think this trial is going to be, ana. >> joe johns on capitol hill. many thanks. >>> now to david gergen, political analyst and former adviser to four presidents. over the last week or so we've seen how much the republ

and lindsay graham, ride or die, who tells politico today, if team trump argues the election is stolen, that is when you're going to lose everybody. that is when most of lsu be ready to move on. that's when you'll be ready to move on? because you already told us you were done. >> trump and i, we had a hell of a journey. i hate it being this way. oh, my god, i hate. my point of view, a consequential president. today, first thing you'll see. all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> hmm. well, that was the night of the insurrection. and now, just a month later, the former president's second impeachment trial is looming. a moment for the country to grapple with what we have seen. joining me now, anna navarro. good evening to both of you. it's stood see what is happening in washington right now. president biden paying respects to the fallen capitol hill police officer brian sicknick, as he lies in the capitol rotunda, and a reminder of the horror of that day. >> don, joe bind understands service. he understands loss. he has a reverence for the capitol as the citadel, the temple o

if you're looking for lindsay graham to signal allegiances, didn't take much to read between the lines, talking about how mcconnell needs to be kinder to trump. what struck me about it, how he dismissed the severity of the january 6th riots in terms of the threat it poses to democracy. for him it was more about republicans recognizing their electoral path forward. in which case you have to push aside the concerns about january 6th and the role trump played in it because it's more important to keep the coalition of trump fans, maga faithful and traditional republicans together. that's the priorities. shows you that trump's grip on the republican party while it seemed diminished is still iron-clad. would take really hard to find another pivot point than the insurrection at capitol for republicans to say we're done with that. graham did say that, but here right now he's saying mcconnell needs to watch his words and vice-versa, it really is trump's party. >> he'll always have a friend in south carolina. parker, stein, patel, so much going on, thanks for helping us get through it. >>> comin

meanwhile, lindsay graham, is now the latest republican to try to explain the words and tweets of q-aunt congresswoman margarine taylor green, specifically when it comes to her thoughts on jewish space lasers. >> is that true? was she misquoted? was she taken out of context, that there's a jewish laser in the skies starting fires in california? i don't know. i know how words can be twisted. i know how you can be taken out of context. >> jimmy: well, wait. how do you twist -- that's a real twist word-wise. real twist. maybe she meant to say "jewish losers" were starting the forest fires in california. anyway, we're putting her in charge of children's education, just to be safe. [ laughter ] here in hollywood, it was a day of self-congratulation, the nominations for the golden globes came out. sacha baron cohen was nominated for best actor, for his movie "borat subsequent moviefilm." but poor rudy giuliani was snubbed for his brilliant turn, acting like he was just tucking in his shirt. [ laughter ] for her work on "the undoing," nicole kidman was nominated for best actress who drank too m

why is lindsay graham still the chairman of the senate judiciary committee. alexandra ocasio-cortes doubling down on ted cruz fueled the riots saying he must resign as she's making stunning allegations about the capitol police that day. >> did he not give us the extraction point location because he forgot or was he trying to actually put us in a vulnerable situation? alright, i brought in ensure max protein... ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't (grunting noise) i'll take that. yeeeeeah! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar drink, play, and win big in the powered by protein challenge! i made a business out of my passion. i mean, who doesn't love obsessing over network security? all our techs are pros. they know exactly which parking lots have the strongest signal. i just don't have the bandwidth for more business. seriously, i don't have the bandwidth. glitchy video calls with regional offices? yeah, that's my thing. with at&t business, you do the things you love. our people and network will help do the things you don't. le

senator lindsay graham had with brad raffensperger.he post raffensperger claims that graham asked whether he had the power to toss out mail-in ballots in certain counties. raffensperger, graham appeared to improperly find a way to toss legally cast ballots. lindsay graham has denied that and said he was looking at how the state verifies the mail-in ballots. in arguments yesterday former president trump's defense team attempted to offer a preview of how they might argue that case in georgia. >> the house managers told you that the president demanded that the georgia secretary of state, quote, find just over 11,000 votes. the word "find" like so many others the house managers highlighted is taken completely out of context. >> let's put it in context. nbc's cory joins us from atlanta. where does this stand? >> we are learning new details in the state of georgia. stephanie, good morning. this second one that we're learning about is coming from the fulton county district attorney's office and annie willis has expressed that she'll look into

let me call this meeting to order and let me thank the ranking member lindsay graham and the other members of the committee for being with us in person or on video. i would also like to thank the many witnesses who will be testifying today and most of whom will be joining us remotely because of this pandemic. i want to call this hearing to order in order to discuss a very simple yet i believe profound question, and that question is this: why should the taxpayers of our country, many of whom are struggling economically as a result of the pandemic be subsidizing the starvation wages being paid that some of the largest and most profitable corporations in america? that's the simple question. why should working people be subsidizing some of the wealthiest families and largest corporations in america because of the starvation wages they pay their workers? and let me be very clear. the largest welfare recipient in america happens to be the wealthiest family in america, the walton family. a family that owns the largest corporation in america, walmart. this is a family that is worth over $200 billi

proceso ha sido una pÉrdida de tiempo, dijo scott en la florida que es una venganza polÍtica, lindsay grahamosos migrantes se escuchaban gritos, incluso esta persona que realiÓo la llamada, hablaba que creÍa que alguna persona dentro del contenedor, pudieran haber estado sin vida, vamos a escuchar este crudo relato (informaciÓn en pantalla) >> nadie tiene un otro fop que estÁ conectado . >> no . . >> estamos en eso. >> el camiÓn estÁ parado, estÁ parado se me hace que al lado de la carretera porque se escuchan los carros. >> y se acuerda de ko que loro es la camioneta. >> es una pipa color blanca la pipa blanca la pipa blanca es difÍcil escuchar la grabaciÓn, precisamente ahÍ adentro es donde creen que estÁn las autoridades, las autoridades rastrearon la llamada junto con la hora y algunas cÁmaras, captaron una pipa blanca que anteriormente veÍa en su pantalla y bueno ha pasado el lunes por la noche, martes, miÉrcoles y hoy jueves a pedida que pasa el tiempo se va haciendo mÁs difÍcil la bÚsqueda el destino de estos migrantes podrÍan haber sido mucho, pero esperaremos a ver quÉ dicen las aut

trump, and then we have lindsay graham who called up and also made a ran at the secretary of state involvingl is we have rogue rudy who if he's never prosecuted in the southern district of new york they're investigating what he said to the legislature that they're interested in prosecuting. so i see pain, pain, pain, criminal and civil pain for trump from now and forever and that's why these people are comfortable to support him because they figure he's never going to make four years and they'll be able to run for president without so much as having to look back and right now the only hope that they will amass when he goes to his hitler rallies, they'll amass that support for themselves for helping him support this impeachment. we'll see what happens. >> the luminous evidence was presented on the problems with those rallies and i don't think you can go as far as you just did in terms of the actual evidence of what they were and what they weren't, not withstanding the great tragedy and the loss of life on january 6th. nate, i want to bring you back in, though, on the georgia point. there are

graham. ron johnson said, mitch mcconnell doesn't speak for the congress. you pretty much said the same thing, lindsay. now, maybe i'm wrong. i did some research today. i didn't find a whole lot of fight in mitch mcconnell or john thune for that matter when it came to crossfire hurricane. a few comments here and there appeared mostly missing in action for that three year battle. i didn't hear either one of them really go after kamala harris, chuck schumer, joe biden, nancy pelosi, or maxine waters either. not particularly happy with the double standard myself. >> well yeah, number one, senator mcconnell speaks saturday. i don't think is widely shared view of president trump by most republicans. but remember, you said you are a conservative. a democratic majority in the house and the senate with the democratic president is a nightmare for the pro-life movement, for the second amendment. we are going back to open borders and asylum-seekers and going to have a very weak foreign policy. president trump's statement today in response to what mcconnell said saturday is very predictable. i remind everybody, r

lindsay noise. it's hard to take him seriously right now. you never know what kind of lindsey graham you're going to get depending on the day of the week that it is. but i think the house managers are going to continue to conduct themselves in a serious, solemn, sober and substantive fashion focused on the fact that they need 17 republicans in order to obtain a conviction. and i think that there are at least 17 republicans who are willing to consider the evidence, follow the facts, apply the law and be guided by the constitution and at the end of the day, if they do that and let the chips fall where they may i think there is a possibility that you can convince enough of them to convict donald trump because the evidence is so clear. it's open and shut, and it's chilling that donald trump incited a violence insurrection that had deadly consequences. >> congressman, house impeachment managers have spoken about donald trump pushing the baseless voter fraud claims, the big lie that the election was stolen. they're not addressing, though, senate republicans who were pushing these same clai

lindsay. amy klobuchar, the senator from minnesota is here. senator klobuchar, thanks for being here. i understand you want to introduce miss tanden. >> i do. i want to thank you mr. sanders, senator, grahamcongratulations on your new roles in the committee. i know there are a few women in the committee. it is my honor to be here to speak to you about the work of the committee could not be more important. i think you know what is happening with our country. and i admire the leadership role that you senator see enders are taking right now. and that's, the entire committee. i'm proud to be here today to introduce my friend, neera tanden, a woman who is smart, organized, and tenacious. these are good qualities for the job, and if confirmed to make history is the first woman of color to lead the office of management and budget. and i appreciate, i'm sure she will address some of your concerns, senator graham. but i do want to know that a lot of people have said a lot of things on social media, and probably people in this room that they regret. so i want to give you just a different sense of this woman, and what she stands for. first i want to acknowledge the people who are here with neera, an
