and peter strzok wants you to believe that january 6th was so much worse than 9-11. we will set him straight. we continue tonight. we begin tonight at 1600 pennsylvania avenue where the white house is waging a dishonest political strategy complete with collusion in plain sight. we know that after joe biden called saudi arabia's crown prince a murderer of jamal khashoggi. joe flies to saudi arabia. he won't have domestic energy production here. he begged them to increase oil production. joe was humiliated and told there would not be an increase in production but a decrease in out put. joe tried to collude with saudi arabia to delay opec's oil reduction announcement until after the mid-term elections. the saudis exposed him. biden circled back to a favorite political stunt. joe biden has put our country at risk by draining our petroleum reserves at a 4 decade low. donald trump built it up. he is taking it away. it's getting worse. biden poised to release 10 to 15 million barrels of oil but the reserve is intended for national emergencies only. democrats polling badly b

nobody in the world is making this comparison except the mind of peter strzok.hey going there at msnbc? >> because peter strzok is a one-trick pony. he made an entire career by hating trump. essentially the democrat friendly media at msnbc feels if they drive home fear they can stave off joe biden's bad economy in the 2022 midterms. frankly voters are panicked about the bottom line. they know winter is coming and democrats will lose big in the 2022 race. elizabeth: what ford is saying ej, the president is announcing first thing he will do if democrats get congress get roe v. wade codified. but the "new york times/sienna poll," economy, not abortion that matters. even "new york times" is saying that? >> 100%. families are much more concerned about being able to feed their kids this winter than frankly kill their kids. abortion is not nearly as big of a concern as inflation and the dramatic rise in the cost of living. what is really getting scary now energy going into the winter. when you look at diesel stockpiles, for example, especially at the commercial level,

peter strzok was on msnbc saying january 6th was worse than september 11th. excuse me.ptember 11th. what happened to the fbi and what should be done about it? >> well, they have become politicized at the top levels. i'm not saying every agent working in their districts are but, boy, at the top levels, absolutely they are. this is not the fbi that you know or i knew and, again, this is something that has to be cracked open because something's very wrong and to compare 9/11 to january 6th with all that went on on 9/11 is absurd and disgusting actually and really bothersome. that's a terrible comparison and he should be ashamed of himself for even saying that. maria: and this, the guy who was trying to take down trump and told us so in his texts with his girlfriend. it's just incredible that he's talking about this on msnbc. but let's put the corruption aside and talk about the inept ineptitue. karine jean-pierre was asked about gasoline prices and inflation and what happened on joe biden's watch. watch this. >> 18 months ago when the be president took office inflation and

i mean there was anti-trump bias, you know, peter strzok and lisa page text messages there is just, thisthe iceberg stuff you know what i mean, sam? they didn't verify with fbi databases or other intelligence community databases or agencies. it all went into a fisa wiretap to spy on the trump team? hillary clinton campaign and dnc financed, funded directly that steele dossier. all that and the mueller probe did not find trump colluded with russia to hack into hillary campaign emails? the fbi went full on, katie bar the door with this, they knew what was going on, that it came from the clinton team? >> i mean it is extraordinary. it is again to your point, you know it seems very likely that this is an exercise in endings dream bias against president trump and that's why all of the normal vetting wasn't done. all the agents experience seems to have been thrown out of the window and you not only get reliance on opening an investigation on this, they took it a step further and took it to a judge unoath which is just insane. elizabeth: so, let's back up. we have sources in the fbi. they have

joining me now is peter strzok, former fbi counterintelligence agent.one of the more alarming things i discovered last night when alex wagner read from this letter last night when we were sitting on set talking about the january 6th hearings because this is an indication not only was there an anti-hillary element, but the the main fbi has intelligence there could be a violent attack on the capitol, and they brief the secret service about it, but they don't actually take action and brief the congress and the gang of six about it, it's a huge problem. what do you make of this? >> well, joy, i think the first thing that's important to note is that overwhelmingly, all the men and the women of the fbi who took their oath of office take that oath, take the constitution and their duty to the constitution extraordinarily seriously. this letter, and i read the email i read as well, raised a series of really serious allegations. at this point, they are allegations. but the point is, if any of those things in there are true, even if there's one person, it's impera

if there was bias, it was people trying to do trump's bidding, use, at peter strzok just said, the apparatustely for these two defendants, juries of their peers said, uh-uh, no way, there's nothing here. acquitted, not just hung jury like one juror didn't want to convict, but acquitted. >> it's an incredible stain on what was once a sterling record. i want to turn to trump's other legal matters. there's a small matter of trump handing classified materials to bob woodward. let me play the tape. >> nobody else has them but i want you to treat them with respect. >> i understand, i understand. >> and don't say i gave them to you. >> okay. >> but i think it's okay. i wasn't going to give them to bob, you know? would you make a photo stat of them or something? >> no, i dictated them into a tape recorder? >> really? >> yeah. >> i don't know what's the scariest part of the tape. it might be the ha, ha, ha. pete strzok, these are one of the allegedly stolen and held onto items. we don't know what else is in there. but there he was sort of showing classified things to journalists and writers all along

strzok is here. also joining us jeremy peters, "new york times" reporter and an msnbc contributor.ost and executive producer of showtime's "the circus." executive editor of "the recount." also an msnbc national affairs analyst in his free time. jeremy peters, you have a killer story on all of this from last week. take us through it. >> so you're absolutely right. this is unlike any defamation case that we've seen against a major media company in a very long time and perhaps a generation. and that's because usually defamation cases are built around one single statement or even a clause in a newspaper article or something that was said on a single broadcast. what dominion has here is instance after instance, night after night, lie after lie, on broadcast. and that's what makes this case so strong, because not only has fox refused to retract anything that its hosts and its guests said about a supposed conspiracy that everyone from hugo chavez to, you know, the german government was involved in supposedly stealing the election from donald trump, but you have just kind of a nonsensical
