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 friends weekend. >> the host of the podcast,podcs and our friend, he joins us tonight. will cain, thanks so

keep in mind when mike flynn mentioned the topic of sanctions to the ambassador from russia, the fbioped in and destroyed his life and threatened to send him to prison. he was the national security adviser at the time. he had the highest possible clearances that you could have. hunter biden had no clearances whatsoever. he was the drug addict son of the vice president. here he is in this e-mail casually mentioning to his business partner that sanctions may be coming and here's the effects on the e.u. and energy prices in order to keep making $80,000 a month in a no show job on the board of ukrainian energy company working on a topic that he knew nothing about it so what are we looking at here? this is a crime. that's a crime. a real one. hunter biden clearly knew it was a crime. he told his business parter in the same el mail to go to cvs to buy a burner phone. what is amazing and telling, the dodge has had this for years. the fbi seized hunter biden's laptop before the last presidential election in 2020. keep in mind also the context. the context is always ukraine. that was true in

how mike flynn convicted of lying to the fbi, is fusing christian nationalism and conspiracy propaganda in his radical road shows. >>> plus, the racist republican dog whistles aren't dog whistles anymore. the right-wing racist attacks against people like ilhan omar, former secretary elaine chao, and many others, is now right out in the open. and we begin tonight in los angeles, california, where i'm here for the premiere of the 1619 project hulu documentary which is still legal to watch in the united states, ron desantis. at least for now. and we arrive here as america deals with the real world consequences of radicalization. which happens to be one of the consequences of allowing historical lies to fester over time. tomorrow, we will get a disturbing glimpse of that hate, when a san francisco court releases the video of the attack on paul pelosi. the brazen assault took place days before the midterm election. the husband of then speaker nancy pelosi was asleep when david depape broke into the pelosis' san francisco home and beat him with a hammer. in addition to a hammer, authorities r

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 think it also, tucker, could begin in a more entertaining and petty fashion in that i think the story begins with joe biden's humility and incompetence and so much so that democratic politicians and those with a vested interest in us

mike flynn, most importantly in paul manafort, and others. >> up annapolis. >> up. annapolis >> -- many have forgotten. then, to add on top of that, some of the things he starts saying publicly, for instance, as jim points out in this piece, he says, first of all he starts disparaging no, which is a two putin talking point. he indicates that perhaps it is fine if putin keeps crimea. these are all things that, if you are putin in the kremlin, in a way it is manna from heaven here. you are like, this is the guy who is running against hillary clinton, why wouldn't you put all of your chips on that side? that is what happens. that is the sabotage that happens almost exclusively for trump and against clinton. so, i think that was a unanswered question that i think again, is more cliffs lives now given what we see putin's -- >> do you feel like though at why has been answered? the putin y is abundantly clear. putin's interest -- cheered on by trump. do you understand the trump why? >> -- >> why putin? >> i think that is still, if jim has written the second draft of -- mor

there are a lot of unanswered questions at the mike 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 wou

it leaves the void open for the mike flynn's and sidney powell's and rudy giuliani's. the people who most wanted jared kushner to play a part to fight on what was called team normal inside the white house, he chose not to. host: time is fleeing too quickly. we've already gone a half-hour with susan glasser and peter baker. this is book tv's "in-depth" program. we usually talk to one author and his or her body of work, we are talking to their body of work. we will begin taking your calls and just a little while. susan glasser is currently with the new yorker. peter baker is with the new york times. they have written three books together. their first was "kremlin rising -- letter putin's russia and the end of the revolution." in 2020 came the man who ran washington, the life and times of james a baker the third. and the divider -- trump in the white house came out earlier this year. peter baker has written four books on his own. the breach, inside the trial of william jefferson clinton, days of fire, bush and cheney in the white house, obama, the call history in 2017, an

he intervened in criminal cases of people like roger stone and others, mike flynn, to protect those who were lying to cover up for themselves and cover up for donald trump. we have not seen the kind of breakdown of the independent of the justice department since the nixon administration and for all of the efforts that barr and his special counsel made to try to investigate the investigators and discredit the origins of the investigation into trump's russian connections, it has produced almost nothing. but again, the purpose was to give donald trump an argument in his reelection and an argument to the american people that he was somehow the victim for a party, a republican party that claims to be against victimhood. their party leader often plays the biggest victim in the country. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for joining us on your first night as a senate candidate. please come back over the course of the campaign, to infect bake the issues with other candidates, whether they're present or not. there is already -- there are two democrats in the race, prominent democrat

that leaves a void open for mike flynn and sidney powell, the moment most people want to jared kushner to play a part, to fight inside the white house, he chose not to. >> host: time is fleeing quickly. we've got half an hour with jack dee and peter baker. this is booktv's "in depth" program where we usually talk to one author and his or her body of work, we are talking to their body of work this afternoon and we will begin taking your calls in a little while but jack dee and is currently with the new yorker, peter baker's with the new york times. they've written 3 books together. there first was kremlin rising:larry boone's russia and the end of the revolution the came out in 2005. in 2020 came the man who ran washington:the life and times of james a baker iii. and the divider, trump in the white house, came out this year. peter baker has written four books on his own. the breach:inside the impeachment and trial of william jefferson clinton came out in 2,000, days of fire:bush and cheney in the white house 2013, obama, the call of history, 2017 and impeachment compendium on american h

as a result that leaves a void open for the mike flynn and sit it out and rudy giuliani. it's a moment when those people, when people most wanted jared kushner to play a part to fight on what was called team normal inside the white house, and he chose not to. >> host: time is fleeting to quickly get with regard a half hour with susan glass and peter baker. this is booktv stint at the program where we usually talk to one author and his or her body of work. talking to the body of work this afternoon and we're going to begin taking your calls in just a little while but susan glasser is totally with the new yorker. peter baker is with the "new york times." they have written three books together. the first was "kremlin rising: vladimir putin's russia and the end of revolution." that came out in 2005. and then and then in 2020 came out the man who ran washington, the life and times of james baker the third. and "the divider: trump in the white house, 2017-2021" came out the shoe. peter baker has also written for macbooks on his own. the breach, inside the impeachment and trial

people like rudy giuliani and mike flynn, lindsey graham, they all ran to court, please don't make me testify, and fani willis beat every one and put them in the grand jury and forced them to testify. and today, she said we don't want the grand jury report released because that would impact defendants plural right to a fair trial. she didn't use that word recklessly or cavalierly. she's contemplating based on what we learned today, returning indictments against whoever it is the special grand jury recommended to be indicted and she said we're going to do it imminently. defendants and imminently are two words that i think we can hold fast to right now. >> and that's, i think, listen, glenn kirschner is always one to talk me down, so it is sort of ironic that it may come down to the black prosecutor in georgia. >> isn't it always? doesn't it always end up falling on the shoulders -- >> a black woman's work is never done. >> never done. >> the thing is, because she also does have a very clean case. donald trump is the one who said listen, i'm going to need 11,786 votes. i'm going to need

trump's enemies like jim comey and andrew mccabe, and reward donald trump's criminal associates like mike flynn and roger stone, prompting some assistant u.s. attorneys, including former colleagues of mine, to leave cases and leave the department altogether, because they wouldn't stand for the corruption of the department of justice. now, what mr. did during that time as he came to the department of justice and served as rob rosenstein's right-hand man, as the payback. the principal associate deputy attorney general. we like our titles long at the department of justice. thereafter, he was appointing u.s. attorney by donald trump to serve in the maryland u.s. attorney's office. this is someone who, for whatever reason, chose to associate himself with donald trump and bill barr's department of justice at a time when it was not making us proud. i think those are fair questions to ask when we look at this appointment and try to decide, will mr. hur do the job right down the middle, calling it the way he sees it,. without tracking it on and looking for reasons to try to have it hurt joe biden politi

well, yeah, i mean, they triedte to send mike flynn, the national security adviser, to prison for talking about sanctions. if you're a foreign countr sanctiy, . us sanctions were an extremely powerful tool.a powe they canrful undo your economy.w so you want to know what the trigger is for sanctions, correct? trigger isso that information tr will trigger sanctions. is it keep speaking ofsified i important classified information, is there anything more important than that other than war plans? >> is well, and this was a weeks before joe biden went to ukraine armed with millions of dollars iwin energy aid foria the ukrainian energy industry and hunter was angling to get on the board of a ukrainian energy company. >> so, you know, what goes around comes around that's also degrading to the country. degra miranda devine, thandingk you f your reporting these last several years. appreciate it. thanks appreciate it.. so since the moment he took office, joe biden has encourage encouraged, no exaggeration, pee poorest people in the world to move the unitedop states wite no regard fo cr its effect on

. >> on december 18th, three people, one of them trump's former national security adviser, mike flynn patrick byrne, the founder of overstock.com, were let into the white house by an aide to peter navarro, another trump adviser. trump saw them, called them into the oval office, and they start arguing the case where everyone else is failing trump and that trump can take aggressive actions to keep himself in power and to try to impact the results of an election that he had already lost. they suggested that he use the apparatus of government to seize voting machines. and as this meeting is taking place, another lawyer in the white house, eric herschmann, figures out what's happening, calls in the white house counsel, pat cipollone. mark meadows ends up joining at some point. rudy giuliani gets called in. this goes on for hours. >> how much time did you have alone with the president? i say alone. you had other people with you. but before the crowds came running? >> oh, probably no more than 10 or 15 minutes. >> was in that -- >> pat cipollone set a new land speed record. >> i opened the d

that kelly would've thrown himself at the door of the oval office in order to stop people like mike flynn from getting in there and advocating martial law and a five hour long meeting with donald trump which actually happened in december of 2021. meadows one of the people we quoted the book was serving as essentially a matador in that period of time and waving the crazies into the oval office. those who are bearing conspiracy theories, lies, and recklessness. i think it really doesn't matter who surrounded donald trump. but it is alsod important to ne there were many who did in their own way resistant trump at various points along the way. but that doesn't mean they are heroes. in fact that's literally a quota white house official fromic the trump white house sent to us, look there are no heroes in the story. i think that is important point to make two. speech - is a great story by jon kelly is being pushed out as chief of staff and he says to jump listen, you don't want a yes, ma'am present yes enjoy what a yes, ma'am. that was trump's philosophy about staff he wasn't looking for someone

kelly kwould have thrown himself at dothe door of the whole office tin order to stop people like mike flynn from getting in there and advocating martial law and five hour long meeting with donald trump that actually happened in december 2021. meadows in the words of the people we in the was asked essentially. waiting crazies into the oval office, people bearing lies andrecklessness . i don't think it mattered who surrounded donald trump but it's important to note that there were many who did in their own way resist trump at various points tbut that doesn't mean they're heroes. that was literally a quote a white house officialsaid to us . look, there are no heroes in this story and that this important point to make there's a great story about john kelly and he says to trump, you don't want a. ayes, ma'am. he says yes i do, i want a yes man and that was his philosophy about staff. he wasn't okay for somebody to get him contrary information. it took him a while to find them. >> how many of those 4 talk to you? >> we talked to as many people as possible, peoplewho might not want to know --that

the giulianis, the pouls, the lynn woods, the roger stones, the alex jones, the patrick burns, mike flynnsat were around president trump feeding him things that, you know, were just on this side of qanon. and you almost have to wonder, president trump talks -- former president trump talks about his big iq but he was so credulous to believe things that were deranged. and i think finding out how those were coordinated, how the money was coordinated especially on january 6th which the committee did a great job on that part, is fantastic but we never really got to who the coordinating elements at that second and third level beneath the president and what did he know about it. it was just very difficult to get that last line of data. >> difficult for congress. quite achievable for doj if they're so inclined. denver riggleman, claire mccaskill, thank you very much for being part of our coverage today. it's wonderful to see both of you. the persistence of the big lie is making the fight to preserve and protect voting rights in our democracy all the more urgent on this martin luther king day. we'l

perhaps try to re-run the election in some key state, that something was being pushed on him by mike flynn, but use the insurrection act as a way of gaining control. there were efforts underway in those days to seize control of the cia, of other intelligence agencies as part of an effort to control power. i think the fundamental point is that the military was fighting the last war, the june 1 war, and the june 6th -- the january 6th conflagration was different. as we look back, it's interesting to run the counter factual. suppose they had called out troops with a lot more armament at the capitol, as those rioters were breaching the capitol, and shots have been open fired, you would have had a scene like tiananmen square. there would have been a lot of deaths of protesters, how would that have played out. it's hard to imagine that playing out well. it may be as we identify and prosecute those who did the insurrection on january 6th that were lucky that this wasn't a blood bath that would have left a far different taste in the mouth of people. >> admiral stavridis, i would guess that really

if there's evidence that others, roger stone and mike flynn, some of these people who have been seen with some of these seditious conspirators on january 6th and more, if you can tie them to part of the agreement to attack the capitol, then that is a possible way to draw trump and as allies into the seditious conspiracy. i think the other crime that the committee recommended was inciting insurrection, providing the inspiration, lighting the match that caused people to attack. because the supreme court provides so much protection for political speech, i don't know if that gets you there. but i'll tell you the part that does possibly get you there that i thought was a brilliant move by the committee, which is to include in the recommending charge, assisting insurrection with the 2:24 tweet that occurred after the attack started saying mike pence didn't have the courage to do what was necessary and the united states demands the truth. that one put fuel on the fire, and i think could be a basis for assisting an insurrection against donald trump. >> you know, mike allen, there's right now
