in fact, michael flynn, trump's first brief national security adviser, who was convicted of lying to the fbi about his contacts with senior level russian officials, has sought to cash in on those lies. he has joined some of the most prolific spreaders of conspiracy theories, barnstorming the country in the pseudomag tent revivals that are host to some of the most vial and grotesque of those lies. the events, which are called the reawaken america tour, r.a.t., a christian revival meets qanon swap meets meets political rallies. the most recent event was held this past weekend in nashville, tennessee. >> jesus is king. how many of you agree americans elected president donald j. trump to be our president? how many of you agree general flynn is america's general, ladies and gentlemen? jesus is king and we will win this thing. >> i got board with calling out democrats so i started calling out demons, but they're really oneb and the same. >> billions of people are having their dna reprogrammed as we speak. it's because of this war we're in, a war of narratives, and it's a difficult war. >>

. >> it was floated, this idea, by retired general michael flynn in the oval office, that donald trumpd ballot boxes from these states that joe biden won. what was your reaction when you heard that? >> i said to my wife, "this is beyond all comprehension." i never utter a word like this, but -- but that in particular sou sounded banana republic to me. had that happened, we would have been in a situation where literally we're in a constitutional crisis because nothing in our constitution gives you the answer. >> reporter: at the end of the evening, no seizure orders were issued. the president decided to go in a different direction. he would take it in a tweet. >> what he wanted was to show everyone who is telling him they lost the election and that people agreed with him -- >> reporter: the tweet and the violence that followed ahead. even if you got ppp and it only takes eight minutes to qualify. i went on their website, uploaded everything, and i was blown away by what they could do. getrefunds.com has helped businesses get over a billion dollars and we can help your business too. qual

now notice the very first person in the trump administration after was general michael flynn? why flynn? he was a career army intel officer that ran the defense agency and in other words he was capable of fighting back. four dates after he lured mike flynn without his lawyer and concocted a series of fake crimes and forced him to resign. that's how things work in washington. joe biden meanwhile looked like a hyena and we have to say watching very similar happen to joe biden himself six years later. joe biden does not deserve our sympathy. he's being shafted and don't weep for him and the rest of us do deserve a better system, an actual democracy. will cain is the host of "fox & friends" weekend and will cain podcast and joining us tonight. will cain, thank you for coming on. it's very obvious that biden is being shafted by his own people, and people's identities that will never come to light. it's interesting that it's on this traffic ticket offense and not on the fact that he's destroying the country by opening the southern border. why is no one saying that? >> you know, i th

they are tired of it michael flynn gets his treatment and others take to plead the fifth and get pension but marriage garland just issued a settlement and said you get all the pension and your lawyers fees. give me a break so hillary clinton can destroy 30000 e-mails. no big deal she had a private sent on —- server when she wasn't supposed to have that so americans have had it because as you said in this great country it is supposed to be equal treatment under the law. when you don't have that people lose faith in the key institutions. that is in healthy. >> do you have any hope the conference will be stronger on promises like that? you are right there is a failure of leadership those that they demoted or fired and then the fake news investigation so that guy is representative if you break the law to my don't think it is good enough to move on. i think you do have to go back to clean up somehow. is there any hope that justice ever does happen from our shy - - side taking leadership? >> talked about jim baker and those that were left or had to leave under investigation and they handle tha

mueller investigation, understand how this case got started, what was going on with the interview of michael flynnterference or, you know, thumb on scale type of activity. but i don't think they can do that with the mar-a-lago classified documents or the biden classified documents because it's in the middle of a case and, as i said, you need to protect witnesses and the integrity of the investigation so that the outcome is uninterfered with by politics. >> all right. so just last month, before the swearing in of the 118th, you know, congress, the january 6th committee referred, representative jim jordan to the house ethics committee for failing to comply with its subpoena. did he set a precedent that could come back to haunt him now, now that he is, you know, chairing committees and he is the one who is actually, you know, trying to get information from the doj and beyond? >> yeah, for sure. the way the republicans behave during the past investigations leading up to and including their failure to vote for impeachment for the executive branch's stonewalling congress, they can now turn around and sa

people like rudy giuliani, people like michael flynn, senator lindsey graham in addition to high-rankingrgia officials, including the sitting governor. that will be summarized in this report coming forth from the sprej and it could possibly include recommendations as well. whether there are recommendations of who or if there should be any charges to come forward from this. so that's where that goes for now, all in the d.a.'s hands. the d.a., we reached out to her on this today, they are not commenting on this, but a source tells me that this report is going to be in the d.a.'s hands today and she is going to make that decision as to what happens next in terms of charges. >> and, joyce, we understand that regular grand jury would not be convened until january 24th. the conventional wisdom, if you will, early on in all of this was that key phone call with brad raffensperger meant that there was a lot of evidence, if there were any case that was more easily prosecutable, if you could say, against the former president, that the fulton county grand jury. do you agree with that? >> i do. that

the past two years of those in the president's orbit, people like michael cohen, roger stone and michael flynn? was the goal to ensure that the president himself could not be charged after leaving office? geoffrey berman explains that barr subsequently tried to take the whole hush money case out of sdny, take it out of his office and give to other u.s. attorney. berman blocked that effort from barr. berman also explains that the standoff between his prosecutors' office and main justice went on for miles while main justice explicitly barred prosecutors from looking at a single document or taking a single investigative step of any kind. while this one guy, michael cohen is sentenced to prison. even though that same prosecutor's office had named another person with whom michael cohen committed this felony. and so, no, they never charged that other person. they never charged trump even though they concluded he had committed the crime with cohen. never charged him. never tried to charge him. never tried to charge anyone else. at sdny if you read this at bottom level, berman's book is called "holdin

they heard testimony from months to pull trump allies, including michael flynn, if senator lindsey graham, possibly even former chief of staff mark meadows. today, district attorney fani willis asked a judge to delay releasing the grand jury's report on the investigation. and she gave some hints about what her next move is maybe? >> we think for future defendants, to be treated fairly, it's not appropriate at this time to have this report released, i is elected attorney have made several commitments to the public, understand the public interest around this case. at this time, in the interest of justice, and the rights of not the state, but others, we are asking that the report not be released because you having seen that report, decisions are imminent. >> imminent, the judge said he would rule and release in the report at a later date, but for now it remains sealed. meanwhile, trump's vice president is facing new questions about his handling of classified materials. a small number of classified documents were discovered last week and mike pence's home in indiana. nbc's kristen welker has

people like rudy giuliani, like south carolina senator lindsey graham, like former trump adviser michael flynnnow in addition to that call you referenced, the trump/raffensperger call that set it off they've been looking into the fake elector scheme and looking into false claims of election fraud before georgia state lawmakers and threats to election workers, so there is a lot that they have been digging into. it's unclear how much of it made it into that report but there was a pretty clear signal from willis we could see more action in court moving forward, abby. >> i think it's very telling she is concerned about potentially tainting a case that she's going to be making in court. now, sara, that is the time line here? when could a judge make a decision and if he makes a decision to release it when could we ee seen the report? >> reporter: i think that's a good question. he is really wrangling with whether this is something that could be made public and referred to the january 6th report and said the world kept turning. it's possible he could decide to put parts forward with redactioned. it's

you know, this is a panel that has hauled in people like rudy giuliani, people like michael flynn andindsey graham. it is investigating that call donald trump made to brad raffensperger and fake lectors and so what we're trying to glean today is whether the judge is going to make this final report public. that summarizes their investigation and recommends whether anyone should face criminal charges. or perhaps make some of it public. either way, we're listening in this hearing for any hints of what the grand jury decides. kate. >> we'll see. we'll stand by for that. thank you so much. >>> we'll be right back. . ♪ this feels so right... ♪ adt systems now featurgoogle products like the nest cam with floodlight, with intelligent alerts when a person or familiar face is detected. sam. sophie's not here tonight. so you have a home with no worries. brought to you by adt. hey, thanks for helping me out. of course. you can easily get helpful customer service over the phone or on the progressive app pretty much anywhere. like at the coffee shop, at the park, or on the moon. just kidding. it's

noticed that the very first person in the trump administration, the agenciesn and after was general michael flynn. why flynn? because mike flynn was a career army intel officer who ran the defense intelligence agency. in other words, mike flynn knew exactly how the system worked and as a result, he wasca capable of fighting back four days after donald trump's inauguration, the fbi lured mike flynn into a meeting without his lawyer, concocte a seriesd a series of fake crimes and forced him to resign. so that's how things actually work in washington. let's stop lying about it.oked k joe biden, meanwhile, looked like a hyena when the justice department destroyed mike flynn. so there is we have to say, a certain perverse justice inn i watching something very similar happenedx to joe biden himself six years later. joe biden does not deserve sha our sympathy. he's being shafted. but don'ft dont weep't for him. and yet the rest of us do deserve a better system, an actual democracy. when people nobody voted for run everything. you are not living in a free country. will cain is the co-host of fox and frie

michael flynn has the treatment he has, but lois lerner gets her pension. andy mccabe lies to the fbi and to the inspector general, but merrick garland just issued a settlement and said you get all your pension, and you to get your lawyer's fee. give me a break. so hillary clinton gets to destroy 30,000 some e-mails and, oh, no big deal. she gets to have her private server when she wasn't supposed to have that even though it violated the a records law. so americans have had it because, as i said in the book and as you just said, 2k5eu6, in this -- dave, in this great country it's supposed to be equal treatment under the law. and when you don't have that, people begin to lose faith in our core and key institutions, and that's not helpful. >>on yeah. do you see any hope that our conference will get strong enough to the deliver on promises like that? i mean, what you just set up is right, there's -- can you say in your book there's a failure of leadership at thek upper echelon of the fbi. the top people -- five of the top, five people who ran the clinton medic

he did this after meeting with officer michael flynn one who could plead with not too but what he called obstructionist on the panel. when speaker pelosi rejected those members, leader mccarthy is the decision was to pull his entire site if i may restrict speaker pelosi at a winning mancini. she been added and kensington disallow the committee to operate with a common purpose that we all saw. just to close this, results should of been foreseeable. in 2005 house republican said of hurricane katrina select committee. back the democrats didn't join because of what they viewed as an an in adequate scope for the subcommittee but several democrats and we can participate in any way, given the at the time tom davis bipartisan support. finally fassler to the bank isaac select committee. democrats running an internal debate about whether to join since the and separate previous investigations. as adam schiff wrote in his book, he argued for the boycott while my old boss elijah cummings argued that democrats should participate. ultimately democrats decided to participate. and as cogs been shipped me

credibly he would have thrown himself out to the doorro of the oval office in orr to stop people like michael flynn from getting in there and advocating martial law in the five hour meeting with the donald trump what actually happened in december of 2021. one ofof the people that we quoe in the book was serving as essentially a matador and that period of time waiving the crazies into the oval office and those that had to the conspiracy theories, lies and recklessness. so i think it does matter who surrounded donald trump but it's also important to note there were many who did in their own way at various points but that doesn't mean that they are heroes a in fact the white house official from the trump white house said to us there are no heroes in the story and i think that is the important point to speak to. when he is being pushed out as chief of staff and says that was trump's philosophy he wasn't looking for a way to disagree. he wanted peoplean to do what he wanted. it took a while to find them. >> host: how many of them talked to you? >> guest: we talked to as many people as possible and peopl

the lieutenant general charles flynn, brother of michael flynn, also said it would not be his militarythe capitol without a clear plan for how they would be used. this was, again, stunning to steve sund and stunning to others on the call. one of the things i found the most striking in this new book, you know, i had written a lot about january 6th, and specifically interviewed steve sund for this account in the past. but one thing i learned that was brand-new was that while he was begging the national guard to come and save his officers' lives on the capitol grounds, the military had beefed up security, he says he learned, for various senior military brass' personal homes. now, those homes weren't under attack in the d.c. area, but that is where some of the security went, to sort of pardon the line around top brass individual homes. >> now, sund was also controversial among some of the witnesses who testified. i think the year before last, actually, to that senate committee led by senators klobuchar and blunt. he says he regrets resigning the day after the riot, after speaker pelosi cal

issued all sorts of pardons to various criminals, including many of his own cronies, roger stone, michael flynn. they dismissed the charges and issued pardons. that is not possible with a state charge, so if trump or an ally were to become president, it is irrelevant to these charges. so these are ones that, if you are donald trump and his defense lawyers, you are keenly aware of just how much these could really stick if a strong case is presented to a georgia state jury. >> nbc news legal analyst, andrew weissmann, thank you very much for being on this morning. we'll be following this of course. >> thank you so much, andrew. and he talked about really damning, jonathan lemire, i want us to end this block where we began, talking about joe biden, and what joe biden did, compared to what donald trump did. i left out a question. so forgive me, and it may be the most damning question. what was the role, specifically, based on all of your white house reporting, what was the role that joe biden had? by extension, what responsibility does joe biden have for putting tcu in the championship series? >> w

michael flynn calling for marshal law. trump talked about seizing ballot boxs.ral dispute so they were very hesitant and so when that s.o.s. call came at 2:30 p.m. january 6 they were very careful. fashioned a careful concept of operations. with no weapons, batons and shields and face masks, by the time they mobilized them it was too late. >> you're right to pick up the point about the military being reluctant to be involved but i want your take on the theory that they had been burned by doing that. had been involved on the lafayette square. we know that general milley and the defense secretary came to regret the presence there at the time. talk about that. were the pentagon brushed and tarnished by politics. do you think that played a role, too? >> 100%. a thing that happened in the george floyd protests the summer before is military helicopters were used to go low and slow over the crowd and buzz the crowd. that wasn't part of a concept of operations so military leaders in the aftermath of that said, look, the military cannot be involved in law enforcement act

flynn -- at the moment. as alex is already said, one of the biggest risks for the u.s. in 2023. joining us now from washington, d.c. is michael mckee. also with us, ira jersey. mike, let me start with you. what do you think 2023 actually looks like? if you come at it from an economist point of view. what are the biggest risks you see for investors, having price, but not completely understood? damian: i'm --michael: i'm glad he used the plural of risks. i think there are several instead of just one. what the g7 folks put out today in their annual risk ahead for 2023 of risk is a rogue russia. i don't know what could happen with them, but it hangs over everything because of energy and food. that could be a major issue. i think the things we know about at this point, the biggest is going to be the fed. the consensus is we're going to have a recession at some point this year. i think the risk is that it is a mild and slow forming recession, which means the fed won't recognize it's happening at the time and it would take longer to react to it. a fed that is already determined to keep rates higher for longer, this may be a risk tha
