lindsey, look.d members of congress, members of the republican party, and they knew they would be likely to attend. i think even members who support trump would have given a no answer to that request to speak at that event. but i am not surprised, paul gosar, i am not a fan of his, never been a fan of his. when we think of marjorie taylor greene, in many ways, she has been ostracized, even by the republican leadership in the minority. for example, kevin mccarthy, spoke very tacitly in the past. you do realize something, lindsey. they have not really given her any credibility in the party. so those two figures are on an island, i would argue, alone and by themselves. i think once the party regains control in the house, i don't think we have it in any capacity. jonathan, president biden has one of the toughest parts of his presidency got coming up. he's dealing with the war in europe, he has the supreme court candidate reported -- dealing with covid restrictions, devastation under control, state of th

lindsey: absolutely.s us the health of the consumer, the comfortability of the consumer to move back into the marketplace. if you look back to the beginning of the fourth quarter, we had this buy now mentality, the fear that inflation would continue to rise, so we needed to buy what needed today because tomorrow it would cost more, if it was available at all. what we saw was a lot of these metrics pulling forward traditional end of the year holiday spending. these measures, this momentum is likely to wane as we look for that in the first quarter. we already saw that weakness in december sales. if we see this weakness carryforward, i think this reinforces the notion that pent up demand is being satisfied. savings from the pandemic is already being drawn down. this will lead to a much more modest pace of growth for the longer run in the domestic economy. tom: what is your real inflation call for this year that gets you to nominal gdp? real gdp, inflation to the end of the year, and the total nominal gdp sta

>> hey, lindsey. we get to hear from ukrainian government officials on that start intelligence assessment. i have been speaking to ordinary ukrainians over here in kyiv, they are very concerned about the situation. earlier this morning, on the outskirts of the city, i was watching as ordinary citizens, young and old were participating in military training, learning how to operate weaponry, learning how to administer first aid, how to evacuate the wounded. all in the event of a russian invasion. they say they are prepared to defend their homeland across the capital, they are dusting off old cold war era bomb shelters, bomb shelters originally built to protect from the threat of american nuclear attack. now, being used to protect in the event of a russian invasion. we are speaking to one of the men responsible for preparing some bomb shelters over here in kyiv. they say they simply cannot believe it, that this was the situation, it is surreal, take a listen. [interpreter] i just can't believe this is ha

lindsey?josh, thank you. >>> for more welcome back miles taylor, former department of homeland security chief of staff under trump, now the executive director and co-founder of the renew america movement. good morning, thanks for being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> i want to play what former pence aide olivia troy said last night about pence's remarks. >> i was shocked. i will say this, to hear him finally say donald trump is wrong. i have never in my entire tenure of working for the vice president have heard him ever say those words especially publicly, and so i think that was a big step for him. >> i mean, do you agree? we've been hearing a lot about how significant this moment is, but you've been very critical in the past saying you never saw pence stand up to his former boss. is it too little, too late? >> well, lindsey it's a good question. i fully agree with olivia. it's shocking. both of us sat with mike pence. i've known him since he was a member of congress on capitol hill

capitol building where lindsey graham works.nied bail repeatedly, as their trials continue to be delayed into the middle or even end of this year. important underscore these defendants have not been convicted of any crime. some of them, tucker, maybe lindsey graham will be happy to hear this, have been in jail for over a year now. awaiting these trials. they can't even see their evidence against them. hopefully that makes lindsey graham feel good. at 730 americans have been arrested and charged for mostly misdemeanor offenses related to january 6th. so hopefully this will make his deal much better. i don't know where he's getting his information from. but what's happening, i talked to the wife of a detainee tonight and when i hear people say to me repeatedly as they can't believe this is happening in the united states of america. these things should not be happening. the lindsey graham, instead of defending the constitution, the rule of law, the presumption of innocence, everything is being trashed by this doj, he actually is pl

>> good morning, lindsey. so the fighting, fierce fighting around that northeastern city of kharkiv, as you said, ukraine's second largest city, we see video coming out of that city of russian troops in columns, personnel carriers, moving through that urban area. we understand the fighting for the ukrainian government is furious over there. obviously this morning, a city of kyiv, waking up on day four of the war, by day three of what has been a bombardment on that city, still waking up in ukrainian control. that's what's happening from the ukrainian government out of kyiv, again a threat of heavy bombardment of the, game battles raging between the suburbs and then in a part of the city, they are continuing a continuing concern on the ground from russia's penetrating deeper into the western part of the country, while we have not seen that yet we are seeing an influx as these refugee crisis and the borders continue to clog up. ukrainian president, again, giving his address this morning, the diplomatic news, the

he'll do it to lindsey graham again and again.also, i think, has a terribly damaging effect on the long-term prospects of the republican party especially in places like america's suburbs. my home state of texas is a great example of that. because of this kind of behavior, these purity tests for the maga movement, they've lost a lot of the suburbs of dallas and houston and austin and other places, and they accelerated the turning over of texas from a red state to now a competitive state. >> libby, i think about the fact that you have mitch mcconnell going out there and saying midterms are going to be policy-free. we're not going to put forward any policies. this is just going to be about looking at what democrats are and are not doing. it does seem they haven't figured out exactly how they want to characterize this report. nbc reporting during the day the republican flash committee sends press releases slamming president joe biden's weakness. at night tucker carlson tells his millions of fox viewers that biden is the one needlessly

>> hey, lindsey. well, at the situation here is extremely tense, with ukrainian president warning that one shell, one cannon fire could potentially lead to war. this morning, we heard from the defense ministry and belarus, announced that it was extending its joint exercises with russia, citing the situation as yet another ominous sign in all of this. this, as there has been shelling all along the line of contact in eastern ukraine. that, according to the ukrainian military, with the number of cease-fire violations more than doubling in recent days. the separatist leaders there, calling on all of the man in separatist led areas to take up arms, while also evacuating women and children, widely seen here in kyiv as a pretext, or could be a pretext for a greater war and escalation. now, in terms of that diplomatic push, president putin is having a call of this morning with a french president emmanuel macron. and, that's expected to be followed up with a phone call between secretary of state blinken and se

i mean, lindsey is a nice guy but he is a rino.raham doesn't know what the hell he is talking about if he says that. >> perspective now from cnn chief political analyst, gloria borger. also, former obama senior adviser, david axelrod. gloria, what is your reaction to this late -- i don't know if it is a fight between senator graham and the former president or just the former president, you know, doing what he always does. >> those boys. they just can't get along. look. i think we moved loyalty to trump to a different level. it used to be that to be considered loyal to him, you -- you would just have to say, yeah, i think the election was rigged. or, yeah, we got to look at it, there were some problems. now, you have to be pro-insurrectionist and that is what lindsey graham is saying he is not. he is not pro-insurrectionist. he doesn't think it was a good idea for people to go into the capitol and deface it. and be violent. and attack police officers. so, he didn't go that far but then again, you know, lindsey graham, the other week

i'm lindsey reiser. i will be back tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. eastern.urday, february 26th, 7:00 a.m. here in new york. 2:00 p.m. in kyiv. fighting between the russian army and ukrainian people is continuing for a third day. i'm ali velshi. we're keeping a close eye on the capital city of kyiv right now. moments ago, kyiv's mayor extended the city's curfew until monday morning after city officials earlier warned residents to seek shelter as reports came in that russian forces were closing in on the city. earlier surveillance video captured the moment a missile, which ukrainians say was launched by russians, hit an apartment building in kyiv. a residential building. the attack left a big hole in the building, one of the latest images we've seen of the war advanced to the capital. despite this, the ukrainian president, this man, volodymyr zelenskyy, said he's staying put in kyiv. he took to twitter this morning to post this video, doing this daily, sometimes more than once a day. this is filmed here his presidential office to demonstrate he's actually in k

so hopefully that makes lindsey graham feel good.even hundred and thirty americans have been arrested and charged for mostlyy misdemeanor offenses related to january six . soly hopefully this will make hm feel much better. i don't w know where he's gettig his information from, but what's happening? i talked to the wife of a detainee again tonight and what i hear people say too me repeatedly, tucker , is they can't believe this is happening in the b united states of america.es thesee d things should not be happening. but lindsey graham, instead ofti defending the constitution, the rule oftu the presumption of innocence, everything that's being trashed by this doj, he actually is playing along once again with the democrats really shameful stuff showing that the only relationships, lindsey graham's life that heere cares about the most significant ones are his relationships with the national news media and he will never do anything to earnhe their displeasure on this point. what does this graciela's julie kelly, great to see.u. thank you

years. >> come back home, lindsey. fire is a burning. >> hopefully it not an opportunist pill. ana, see you later. ana will weigh in on a story regarding whoopi goldberg. >>> i want to turn to a former advisor to george w. bush and senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center. thank you for joining. listening to trump, there is no question what his intentions are if he runs and wins again. the country will be dragged through a nightmare of revenge pardoning criminal insurrections and who knows what else? >> yeah, i agree, you have to accept the fact he's associate -- socio path. and it's gotten worse and term as president get power again. it's not a walk in the park. he's a disturbed person with a disordered personality. he's a dangerous person and it can't happen. if he gets the powers of the presidency. it can't happen for the good of the country. >> trump's comments he didn't want pence to overturn the election. pick a side, trump or the constitution. there is no middle or defending our nation anymore. and i

now he's feuding with lindsey graham. who called his pardon talk inappropriate. >> i don't want to send any signal that it was okay to defile the capitol. there are other groups with causes that may want to go down the violent path if these people get pardoned. i think it's inappropriate. i don't want to reinforce that defiling the capitol was okay. i don't want to do anything that would make this more likely in the future. >> the disgraced former president lobbing what may be his favorite insult, rino. >> lindsey graham's wrong. i mean, lindsey's a nice guy, but he's a rino. these people are being treated horribly. i would absolutely -- because some of them are being treated very unfairly. yeah. i would absolutely give them a pardon -- >> the punishments -- >> what they've done to them compared to what they've done to the soo side. you know, you have to have equal justice. and this isn't equal. >> no. >> so i would absolutely be prepared. and lindsey graham doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. >> lindsey graham

i'm lindsey reiser. we have a team of reporters and analysts following the latest from washington, d.c., to munich to ukraine. moments ago vice president kamala harris speaking at the munich security conference and making clear russia will face consequences, should they invade ukraine. >> let me be clear. i can say with absolute certainty if russia further invades ukraine, the united states together with our allies and partners will impose significant and unprecedented economic cost. >> president biden saying yesterday he is now convinced that russian president putin will, has chosen war over diplomacy. biden says u.s. intelligence indicates the russian also attack in the coming days but despite this, he's still imploring putin for diplomacy and return to the negotiating table. more war games are under way. russia conducting drills by strategic numbering clear missile forces. the russians amassed 150,000 troops surrounding ukraine and a source tells nbc news up to half of the forces are in attack positio

senator lindsey graham that they are speaking to lyse doucet.entre for financial crime and security studies at the royal united services institute — a nonpartisan think—tank specialising in defence and security. here's what he makes of the west's response so far. the western allies have learned their lesson from 2014, which is you need to make it very clear in advance what these sanctions will be. we're trying to deter vladimir putin. in 2014, the sanctions came after he had acted, so all these messages we're hearing — whether it's from the foreign secretary, the prime minister, lindsey graham there, kamala harris today as well — are really important because there needs to be absolutely no question that should he cross the line, then these sanctions will be massive. so lindsey graham and kamala harris speaking in very broad strokes in some ways. could you break it down for our viewers on how it might actually affect somebody like mr putin, for example? and i suppose it may affect regular russians, too. yeah, so helpfully, the uk has published wh

i am going to start with treva lindsey in columbus, ohio.hy are we seeing this movement against books on race, now against critical race theory, a theory that has been around for decades that was developed in the 1970's and 1980's? why has it become such a hot button political issue now, and especially over the past year? treva: thank you for asking. the first thing we have to reckon with is that in may of 2020, amidst a global pandemic, we also saw one of the biggest and sustained uprisings in response to police brutality, in response to racism, in response to histories of injustice in this country, and frankly throughout the globe. i think it is important to put that in context, because more people are reading about antiracism, looking into theories and studies and authors and scholars and organizers in recent memory than ever before. to process what was happening, to process the killing of george floyd, of breonna taylor, to look at mass incarceration, to look at policing, you are seeing demand and a groundswell of national debates about

lindsey graham said that before donald trump started calling him a -- this week because lindsey graham said it was inappropriate for donald trump to promise to pardon the january 6th insurrectionists if he ever gets back presidential powers. and so, it remains to be seen how lindsey graham will vote in the judiciary committee or on the senate floor. republican senator kennedy of louisiana yesterday try to insult all of the women president biden is considering for the supreme court when he said this, number one, i want a nominee who knows a law book from a j. crew catalog. number two, i want a nominee who wants to -- rewrite the constitution every other thursday to try to advance a woke agenda. now, taken literally, as i was just saying to rachel, that means that senator kennedy will vote to confirm any nominee -- because, like me, they all meet those qualifications that he just described. the white house has announced that former democratic senator doug jones of alabama, who is a former federal prosecutor, we'll take on -- of escorting the biden nominee for the supreme court through th

it was enough to wear any detective down, even one as passionate as lindsey wade.e for me to move on. >> in the spring of 2018, lindsey wade retired from the tacoma pd. >> working on cold cases is, typically, more frustrating than rewarding. because you can work and work and work and work, and do a ton of investigation. and come up with zero. >> and then, walk away? >> yeah. >> she had investigated both jenni and michella's cases for years. and saying good-bye wasn't easy. especially, to jenni's mom. by that time, had you grown pretty close to pattie? >> uh-huh. yeah. >> she is a very special gal. i told her mother, i'm going to adopt her. >> before she left, wade sent one last, small batch of samples to the dna lab. no point, really, in waiting for the results. >> we are down to the last 18. i'm doubtful that we're going to get a match. >> so, she said good-bye and went on with her life. and 25 days later. >> my phone buzzed, and i looked down. >> it was her replacement on the cold-case unit. >> i answer the phone, and he said, there's a match on jennifer bastian.

i think you can say the same for lindsey jack about his con you. she waits a g for girl madeline than to come along at once. this really is the redemption story of these games. they don't sell at lindsey jack policy. you say that because she doesn't see it like that. but just to recap, 2006. she made her olympic to aid you in the snowboard cross. she was cruising to victory, it was in her off, and she showed her to drive to the and foul and only got a so with meadow $2102014.00. she crashes out in the semi finals 4 years ago in piano chung, she misses the bronze by 31, hundreds of a 2nd. everyone thinks that fit a career is over. she's not going to get to go metal. and in 4 days ago, she finally does an individual event. and today she's followed up with another one in this team really with nick baumgartener and they have a combined age of 76 years old. who says, snowboard is for young people. nick, that is hope horse after all. is there jonathan? listen. you are at the ice hockey today. ah, what picture? interest there? well, the germans were takin

he's mad that lindsey graham thinks that's a bad idea. >> lindsey graham is wrong.ice guy. what they have done to these patriot, soldiers, policeman. what they have done to them compared to what they have done to the other side, you have to have equal justice. this isn't equal. i would absolutely be prepared and lindsey graham doesn't know what he's talking about. >> well, senator graham try tods explain why it's important to hold violent people accountable. he said all americans are entitled to have a speedy trial and their day in court but those actively engage in violence for whatever political cause must be held accountable and not be forgiven. great to see you. this is interesting on a couple of levels. president trump does what he does which is he flips the script so 140 police officers were injured on january 6th. some of them permanently and grievously but he's now trying to claim that the police officers were, the protesters. this is one of the things he has done in the past masterfully but we're not going to forget what happened on january 6th. this is an

i'd be surprised if lindsey grahams turns around.ituency in south carolina, a source of pressure for him. ketanji brown jackson also got the supreme court from every senate democrat. she's on a very smooth track at least as it appears at this moment toward getting confirmed, something that white house considered but remember, she was also considered for the supreme court by barack obama when joe biden was vice president. this is a subject that he's been steeped in for decades, former chairman of the senate judiciary committee, been thinking about this from the beginning. so i think joe biden is very comfortable with this choice, he extended the offer last night in a phone call. she accepted it, and the odds look pretty good right now they can meet that deadline that manu indicated of getting this before the easter recess. >> no doubt, williams, that was an embarrassment to have to choose from. impeccable qualifications but also been a push from people like congressman clyburn for those who had gone to an ivy league school but somebod

>> reporter: thank you, lindsey. well, this is basically -- what we're seeing from the kremlin now is that continually reiteration of those very initial demands that we were back in december made of night nato, of ukraine as well. we're seeing the military threats constantly increasing. there's really no illusions now. vladimir putin is seriously considering just based on all of his actions what he's been saying, the troop movements, the recognition of those breakaway states in eastern ukraine, he is telegraphing that he is serious. the one thing that we've known about him is his general kind of strategy going back throughout his entire presidency is to kind of push the limits, issue some demands and see what he can get away with. i think we're seeing kind of a formulation of that now. his preferred outcome that is those demands are simply meant. he's not allowing them to disappear under the table as arms control negotiation with the united states and nato. he wants the full package but he's signaling still, you can

i will absolutely be prepared and lindsey graham doesn't know what the hell he's talking about if heve equal justice it's very unfair what's happened to this group of people. >> senate minority mcconnell was asked about trump's suggestion of those pardons. here's what mcconnell had to say about that. >> what will we saw here on january 6th was an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another. 165 have pleaded guilty to criminal behavior. my view is, i would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes. >> joining us now, former aide to george w. bush and white house our friend elise jordan. she's an msnbc analyst. good morning, elise. thank you for being here. let's start with mcconnell, how significant do you think it is that mcconnell is breaking from trump and won't offer any support for rioter who stormed the capitol january 6th? >> there was no hesitation there. senator mcconnell just, boom. no, 165 have pleaded guilty and i want to see these people who defouled the capitol have to fac

lindsey? to impose the k>> we've been wt closely. so matt, how has the evacuation been going so far, of non emergency personnel? what do we know also about these continued russian military exercises? >> yeah, good morning, lindsey. those evacuations continue. they started over the weekend. we don't know a lot of details, a course. that's part of the whole plan. the embassy isn't really talking about their personnel leaving because they are trying to escape danger. there were some images that we saw from reporters here in the ukrainian capital, diplomats with their luggage leaving. but, they will not be drawn on questions of when and how long they would be out, any details, all of that, of course, is classified. but, it's not just diplomatic personnel here. it's also all americans. that was something that was pretty shocking, today, from the biden administration saying that all americans should be leaving within the next 24 to 48 hours. again, that was also just in the past couple of days. and as for those twin exercises, we are seein

one of them is a key trump loyalist, south carolina senator lindsey graham.rump quickly criticized him. >> i want to deter people who did january 6. i hope they go to jail and get the book thrown at them because they deserve it. >> lindsey graham is wrong. he's a nice guy but he is a rino. i would absolutely give them a pardon. yamiche: joining me to discuss this tomorrow. peter baker, chief white house correspondent for the new york times. manu raju, chief correspondent for cnn and seung min kim, white house reporter for the washington post. wiest -- we covered former president trump together. what are you hearing about the decision from former vice president mike pence to speak out now and what impact could his statements be given the state of the gop? seung: the impact will be something that we will be closely watching. as we've gotten further and further away from the january 6, 2021 attack, we seen so many in the republican party forget about the horrors of that day. and what precisely because the insurrection at the capital and what led up to it. pres.

lindsey graham has the national profile to withstand that kind of attack.s of other republicans who might have said the same thing publicly don't. that's one of the reason why the president announced $122 million in the campaign war chest, more than the republican party itself, the campaign arm of the republican party itself, and that is why the president, despite everything that, you know, he has been accused of -- >> incorrect, mr. bennett. incorrect. the former president, the former president. >> there you go. thank you. >> right now, lindsey graham has a job. right now, donald trump has got nothing. let's shift to the supreme court, what's the latest on how the process is going? >> one of the central people in this upcoming supreme court battle if we're looking at republicans who might come over and join democrats is senator lindsey graham, we heard him over the weekend talking specifically about the possibility of one of south carolina's own judge michelle childs potentially being nominated. he all but openly endorsed her. he didn't say he was going to

senator lindsey graham for pushing back after mr.ns for january 6th rioters. >> well, lindsey graham's wrong. he's a nice guy. lindsey's wrong. these people are being treated horribly. some are being treated very unfairly. yeah, i would absolutely give them a pardon. >> betsy, what's the reaction been, the potential implications? >> the fact that the former president, who's widely expected to run for re-election in 2024, seems to be calculating that coming out on this basically pro-january 6th perpetrator side is good politics is something that is generating quite a lot of head scratching. remember, the day after the january 6th attack, trump gave remarks saying -- trying to disavow what happened. saying the people who violently broke in didn't represent him. i obtained a first draft of the remarks, the select committee also has. within less than 24 hour thoufz tack, people were putting words in front of trump knew what happened on january 6th was really, really bad. the fact that now, just over a year out, you have the former presid

republican senator lindsey graham about the russian ukraine situation and china. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that he was it for this "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" starts right now. the pants are a little much as i look back at the video. >> jesse: with pants like that you have got to hit bombs, bret. bombs. >> bret: see you, buddy. >> jesse: thank you. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: have you ever been betrayed. most of us have. maybe you have had a best friend run away with your girl or had a co-worker steal an idea that you wanted to pitch to your boss? or maybe your partner narked on you to the feds. [phone ringing] >> you are an fbi informant. are you [bleep] kidding me. >> jesse: being betrayed is poor anguish. you packers fans know what i mean. remember how it felt seeing

larry it's great to have you thank you for being here i've been reading your reports from the lindseyroup all week in the market as well as the happenings in ukraine. what is your assessment of what we saw in terms of russia's invasion? >> oh well i think we are back to what was kind of the basic case all along. we do not have a very strong hand to play. in part that is our fault our allies prickly germany are really not with us. germany would not even the overflights of its airspace that's hardly the reaction of a strong ally it should be said that way. i do not think we have a lot of cards to play. i think we have to do is find some honest broker i know jinping i would not call an honest broker but he may be a broker has suggested high-level talks and that putin would be open. i don't think there's an obvious way out. maria: we have seen a real market reaction here. partly because investors are wondering whether or not this invasion is going to impact the economy. it has already impacted the price of oil. do you think what took place is going to change the federal reserve's plan? ma

that being said, lawmakers like lindsey graham, and senators bob menendez, james risch, have vowed to cast something in a bipartisan fashion. but i think that with this case crisis is serving to do is assure the divisions that still exist. in the democratic party, but more so in the gop between the america first republicans, and some more of the quote unquote globalist republicans that trump was able to sort of demonize throughout his four years. so you see people like graham who are hawkish, who wanted sanctions from the biden administration yesterday. being more of the outliers and the party right now, compared to those who have even praised president vladimir putin in the spirit of tearing down joe biden, and in order to i think hype up and traumatize the democrats reactions to russia. that being said, there has been some bipartisan support that house emerge today, if not muted applause for biden's sanctions announced. although even democrats say that they believe that the administration should impose more severe economic penalty going forward, as it has been clear that months of t

. >> lindsey graham was a former military prosecutor.he is talking about donald trump on saturday night. saying if he is reelected, that he would consider pardoning the participants in the january 6th attack on the capitol. michael steele, when i hear less stuff like that from lindsey graham. i go here he is. there's that old lindsey graham. he's got a spine. and of course, i don't know how long that lasts. in the end, tell me how these republicans who have at times, sounded like they are standing up to donald trump, have folded. >> look, to lindsey's point. yeah, he wants to throw the book at them. because they deserve it. until donald trump tells him that they don't. and then what he is going to do. he's going to come on airways across the country and make the excuse for why donald trump's decision to give these people their freedom. to pardon them. it is okay. the reality of it is, for lindsey graham, susan collins, who can't seem to decide after she voted to impeach the guy, yeah i can't vote for him again. the reality is this. if yo

for that lindsey graham gets this from donald trump. >> lindsey graham is wrong.nice guy but he's wrong. he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about if he says that because you have to have equal justice. it's very, very unfair what's happened to this group of people. >> again, back to the equal justice, i defy anybody out there with logic, eyes and video to tell me who else was to blame on january 6th. but back to the lindsey graham point, will they ever learn? >> it's hard to see that, and what's so interesting, he has continued to be a trump ally since the president -- since the former president left office and moved on to florida. he continues to talk with him, visits him. he is still known as a trump ally and his conduit back to the broader republican party. to say, no, pardons are not a good idea for those involved in the january 6th insurrection got him on the outs with trump just like that in one snap. that just shows you how much donald trump just commands loyalty when all the facts point otherwise and as he continues to gain control and remain popul

you call -- you and lindsey -- lindsey's been there for a while. you say you're '80s babies.hat inspirations do you have for the rest of us who may be getting on in years about achieving our dreams? >> i think the story tells itself, and it just shows you that you can't give up when things go bad. i mean, there's been many lows in my career, but each one of those has taught me a little bit more about myself. and looking back, if i would have quit on any of those, this day, this would have never happened. and by pushing through that adversity and fighting for what i wanted and not giving up on my dreams, i had the best -- one of the best days of my life and got to share that with my community. i got to come home to just a hero's welcome. and i just -- i hope that it shows people it doesn't matter how old you are. it doesn't matter where you come from. my local ski hill is just a bump, and it's a wonderful place. but it was enough for me to gain a passion for something. and it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. i go against kids from the biggest mountains in the world, and i'm

lindsey graham has criticized trump for these statements.ump says about the south carolina senator. >> lindsay graham is wrong. he is a nice guy but he is a rino. what they have done to these, and in many cases patriots. they're soldiers, policemen. what they have done to them compared to what they have done to the other side. you know, you have to have equal justice. and this isn't equal. >> no. >>. >> so i would absolutely be prepared. lindsey graham doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. >> the guy who goes to golf with him, sticks up for him whenever he canst a republican in name only. >> shrug emoji. there is no loyalty here when it comes to trump. lindsey graham, as you know, is still widely considered to be one of trump's closest allies, and he was just thrown under the bus. this is the same lindsey graham, who shortly after january 6th, said i'm done. and then proceeded to go to mar-a-lago to pay respects to the former president. so, you know, i don't really know what the game is here for graham. the reality is that trump is

a gold started with losing gold 16 years ago. >> lindsey jacobellis is an olympic gold medalist.a true statement in 2000. 22, if not for a premature celebration in torino, italy. that would have been a true statement in 2006. i definitely have put. >> 2000, 6, obviously in the and have done a lot of s.ul searching to realize that that moment doesn't define me as an athlete as an individual, maybe not. >> but that moment has followed her for the past 16 years. it was the last time jacob ellis reach the podium at the olympics. until now it's an honor to have been, you know, representing the u.s. team for that amount of time as well. at the end of the day, like that's just our sport. there's so many and control the value variables. but that's the thing. lindsey jacobellis has controlled those variables everywhere else, including at the x games where she has 10 wins in snowboard cross more than any woman in history. now she's an olympic champion. and at 36 years old, the oldest american woman to win gold at the winter olympics. if it's. >> got to go to anyone. i'm so proud that she g

i think lindsey graham looks at that record and says, okay, this is someone i can work with and maybenservative time from time to time. he's setting this up quite nicely for himself. if biden nominating jackson or krueger or someone else, lindsey has the option of saying i already proved that i was willing to be bipartisan. i said i'd vote for michelle childs, but unfortunately the white house did not heed my call. so i think there's some savvy politicking going on here, but i don't think it's working on joe biden. it appears that the white house has gotten clyburn to back off a bit and admit that this is not an ultimatum, that he would be happy with other candidates. and i don't think that biden is going to pick childs simply because lindsey graham has made a promise that he would vote for her. we all know what lindsey gram's promises are good for, an it just isn't very much. >>> so, maya, mark also alludes to the very thin democratic majority that exists in the senate right now. that fact was made clear when 49-year-old democratic senator ben ray lujan suffered a stroke. last week h

covering it all this morning with nancy pelosi and lindsey graham. both "this week" exclusives. >>> plus soaring inflation. >> you go to the supermarket with $100, it doesn't go as far as it used to. >> inflation is real. it's harming people. >> what can be done? all the week's politics on our round table. >>> and 50 years after watergate, warning for those involved in the january 6th attacks in a new memoir from one of president nixon's closest aids. >> tell the truth. let the chips fall where they may. i'm living proof you can recover. >> announcer: from abc news, it's "this week" here now george stephanopoulos. >>> good morning and welcome to "this week." the big question, will russia invade ukraine this week? that's the warning now from the white house. the u.s. and other western nations are closing down their embassies in kyiv ordering personnel to leave the country as more troops are sent to the region. but diplomacy continues, as women. president biden held a one-hour phone call with vladimir putin yesterday warning an invasion would trigger s
