but adam schiff is a liar.ow that from his handling of the fake russian dossier and what he was telling the media that he knew certain things. he knew about the evidence and all of that. we now know, i think everything he was saying was false. new york reported 2018, steve, adam schiff is a screenwriter. he has a side hobby. he writes screenplays including lake a murder mystery and a spy drama. so he's used to making things up that is fake. so who knew? >> steve: i hadn't heard that before. that is amazing. >> 2018, little side hustle. not good for him.s we wanbet people, just mentioning this because in all blic everybody has complex anlies but ideally for conservatives which are two different things these days and liberals versus conservatives, it really is the eight or because you look at the, wi trajectory, steve and thingss have steadily gone down with tht exception of trump pushing, yo through with an agenda during his term but really, you see this trajectory into the socialist framework that is always one

to update to discuss after years of shameless lies and devices partisanship adam schiff is looking forplace diane feinstein as a u.s. president and ro khanna a different kind of politician with joy do we. >> i concluded that despite a lot of enthusiasm for bernie folkes, the most exciting place in action place for me to serve as a progressive is in the house of representatives i'm honored to be cochairing barbara lee's campaign for the senate and endorsing her today we need a strong anti-money were senator and she will play that role. >> strong anti-war senator that sounds like a date at adam schiff. >> it does and i think ro khanna saul pulls and that was a better fit he knew he needed to not run i do think it was a little bit of a dig but remember there's not much difference between anyone in congress, adam schiff got his law degree from yell and ro khanna got his from harvard, big difference one thing that makes it possible the difference also i think ro khanna has a progressive middle-aged adult clearly does not have a grasp on reality but adam schiff is a liar we know that the fak

the president -- former president said he wants to appear in handcuffs, adam schiff seems to be foamsmouth for that, what is the probability of that? >> [ laughter ] guess he could arranger that. but the cat is out of the bag there have been discussions been publicized between trump's lawyers, and the d.a.'s office. anyway it working out, there will be an element of preplanning and premeditation. i'm not sure that drama that mr. president trump might hope will play out that way. kennedy: this is a very dramatic turn of events, does it have an impact to some are investigations and potential cases? >> well, it is a psychological point w but in a way this sort of breaking the spell that trump was somehow invulnerable to all of these investigations. there are a number of them, as you pointed out, but this is the first one where actions have been taken. who knows, it may lead to other actions by other jurisdictions in short-term. we'll see. kennedy: there is much that remains to be seen, what will the political fallout be for the president? you have two very clear tracks. you have the just

>> joining us now is democratic congressman adam schiff of california.lead impeachment manager for the first impeachment trial of donald trump. he's currently a candidate for senate in california. one of the strange things, that we were learning tonight about the statement we just heard from officer sicknick's family -- tucker carlson apparently privately agrees with that view of donald trump. the sicknick family did not say, we hate donald trump passionately. tucker carlson said that, that he hates trump passionately. >> you're absolutely right, it really takes your breath away. and yet we have so come to accept this of the tucker carlson's of the world, in which, in their world, you lie to -- you lie to make money you lie to -- you live for ratings. that's that tucker carlson's world. if donald trump is the original propagator of the lies, tucker carlson is the amplifier of the lies. and to see so shockingly in black and white what he's saying internally, his acknowledgment that it's all a lie and that nothing matters to the ratings and the money, and

congressman schiff will be in talking about the january six report. we've had very prominent authors like nelson de mille, who's a very, very prolific writer of spy thrillers. so we've become kind of a stopping off point for very well-known authors. the most successful event we had, i will tell you, was ralph macchio, who was the star of karate kid. we had 600 people show up for ralph macchio talking about his his autobiography. so does it help from a sales point of view to hold author events? it's vital. a small, independent bookstore, particularly our size, 1528 square feet, can't survive on books alone. and so you have to, particularly during cold months, you've got to give people a reason to come into the store and people love getting to talk to and learn from authors. so we put a premium on having author events. and then we also have a website. theodore. com wwe dojo. excuse me, wwe theodore is bookscan. so our author events are very important. but even if you can't be in oyster bay, if you support local independent bookstores, that's another pla

carlson's phony narrative about the supposedly peaceful tourists january 6th committee member adam schiff joins me >> i'll also be joined by the journalist who was fired after privately calling out the desantis administration for propaganda >>> and wait until you hear the scathing response from princess diana's brother after donald trump claimed she and the other royals used to kiss his big old bum. >>> but we begin "the reidout" tonight with what is considered the most difficult element to prove in a criminal case, intent proving someone acted intentionally to commit a crime. for donald trump, that is what state prosecutors and special counsel jack smith need to show if they ultimately choose to indict the former president. luckily for them, trump has left a clear trail of bread crumbs to help them in their efforts in the fulton county special jury investigation, we're learning of a third call that trump personally made in his attempts to pressure georgia officials to flip their state's results from biden to trump. nbc news has confirmed the grand jury heard a recording of a phone call b

california congressman adam schiff joins me now. thanks for doing this for us we understand lawmakers have been briefed on the situation. can you told us what you have been told and what has been done to shore up? there are nervous investors and consumers. >> we have had a couple of briefings one with the fcic yesterday and treasury this morning and we try to emphasize the need to protect people whose paychecks and workers for small businesses unbeknownst to them have their payrolls handled by sbb and may not get a check get income that they rely on so we need to make sure we underscore how important it is people get those paychecks who are depending on it for their living. on of us are particularly concerned about what happens with bank executives or investors but people who make deposits are protected to the 50,000 and the risk of contagion other banks have mitigated by treasury these are the concerns we have expressed and i would add also there's profound concern in california given that this sector is an important part of our ec

the boy meets world actor, he wants to replace congressman adam schiff because adam schiff want lapseo create senator dianne feinstein and this is savage's platform, time to restore faith in government by offering reasonable, innovative, compassionate solutions, time for new passionate leaders who -- he mentioned homelessness, he is a democrat, he studied at stanford, he ran an unsuccessful campaign to be on the west hollywood city council last year and lost. stuart: why should i get excited about a democrat placing adam schiff? >> he has to be more moderate. stuart: possibly. >> might be more popular, easier on the eye. stuart: i interrupted you in front of the congressman, shameless. >> the quest to fill dianne's senate seat and replace adam schiff, a lot of people putting their hats in the ring, at least an actor in actor has name recognition. stuart: he will probably win. right now the price of a gallon of gas a regular, national average $3.41. gas buddy when they watch gas prices very closely say we could see $4 gas pretty soon. we will tell you all about that soon. the epa wants

robb a bank i'm prosecuted for its nondefense estate if adam schiff robbed the bank be prosecuted and tapered that something issue. the issue is, did trump commit a crime in new york? that is the issue that will be presented if he is enzymatically presented to al jury. that is our legal system prevents in the constitution. that you be thinking about. you should be thinking about the rule of law in this country and not adam schiff. >> and recall this is david north carolina, republican line. i am sorry. david go ahead. >> yes, just a guess to feel donald trump as a private citizen and all of the people prosecuted for january 6, does he feel they've got all of their rights under due process or people were held in or months and sometimes year? dhe specifically wins the case n the impeachments, was there a cross-examination in either the impeachment for january 6? out into interested to know is he is on that. lexi generally six cases of so far resulted in convictions. the legal system was adhered to. i cannot comment on the circumstances of bail or no bail or whether they were a flight ri

that's been one of the issues we're going to hear about from adam schiff. >> yeah. it's an interesting question as to whether or not had this bank been subject to the more strict rules that has been in place before the change was made during the trump administration and by congress. if that would have been caught there are some unique aspect to this bank that made it difficult to find the issues it was a bank that had strong concentration and depositors it was strongly concentrated in the tech industry. did not have good management of its balance sheets it would appear whether or not it would have been found i guess we'll let the postmortem figure that out i think the broader issue is to extent to which there's concern about the banks and whether or not the federal reserve indeed went far enough in implicit guarantee on insured depositors. >> one of the questions since you're our resident fed watcher, there's criticism that bank regulators at the fed didn't see this coming. why were they so surprised at the bad management of higher interest rates from silicon valley

peter schiff, europacific capital economist., and it did, regulators sweep in and rescue depositors? >> once again the government has made another mistake in a long line of mistakes. it is because of the government that silicon valley bank was in the position it was. the reason it owned so many long term u.s. owned treasurys and mortgage back the securities because the fed kept interest rates at zero so long. the reason it chose those assets regulators pushed banks into treasurys, mortgage-backed securities. give them favorable accounting treatment. they don't take any haircuts. they don't have to market to market. now they created a problem with the bailout. this will cost americans not a lot of money, not because their taxes will be raised because the federal reserve is financing a massive bailout creating more inflation. americans pay for that at the supermarket, the gates station. the cost of living will go way up. if you thought inflation was bad last year, it is about to get a whole lot worse. liz: that leads us to the que

representative adam schiff. >> tweeted this. the indictment of a former president is unprecedented, but so too, is the unlawful conduct in which trump has been engaged. a nation of laws must hold the rich and powerful accountable even when they hold high office, especially when they do to do otherwise is not democracy. republican governor ron desantis of florida tweeted this. it's a long statement read just this part of it. florida will not assist in the extradition request given the questionable circumstances. at issue with this prosecutor and his political agenda. former representative adam tweeted today is a somber day for our nation. donald trump committed many crimes but this indictment should be a reminder that in america no one is above the law. we must move forward and let justice prevail. the anti democratic threat, however, has not diminished. and those are just a few of your actions and statements coming into our newsroom or as we get them. we'll be back at 6. but for now live in the newsroom, i'm justine waldman, kro

joining us now is adam schiff, the lead democrat in trump's first impeachment trial and a candidate for senate. >> congressman shift, thank you so much for joining us this evening. what is your take on the news? >> i think it is a sordid day in our history when a former president is charged with a crime, but the manhattan grand jury found sufficient evidence to conclude that he committed a crime. if the rule of law is to apply to everyone equally, it has to apply to former presidents as it does to ordinary citizens. so i think it is a validation of the rule of law. i think that we need to let the courts and the jury decide this case. but i am glad that the d.a., if the evidence is there, feels that they followed the law, and that is what they should do. >> the former president has predicted, quote, potential death and destruction,end quote, if he is indicted. as we just mentioned, the full nypd has already been asked to mobilize. what is your reaction to this and how do you think this plays out? >> those of the statements that he made in the run-up to january 6th, and we saw the violenc

. >> let's bring in the $ congr[3(man adam schiff from Ä!jlifornia.hiff, good to see you. thank you for being with us this evening. the news from donald trump today has been troubling, even by donald trump standards. where he warned of potential -- i don't know whether you want to call it az( warning, a threat. if he gets indicted, there's a potential for death and destruction if he's charged. i never know how to thing abouto this, but it seems like even donald trump has upped the ante. >> i think that's unquestionably the case. it's just a marvel to me, e1 incomprehensible really that this man has any support ofe1 anyone to run for dogcatcher in this country. here he is after the experience of t(inciting violence against e again doing his best to incite people to commit political violence. there's no question this is meant to be a threat to the manhattan dis meant to be a calló[■ toe1 his fervente1 supporters that this how he wants them to respond because this is what he's predicting, and it's just so m it does illustrate the pattern with trump, whic

california congressman jim i'm schiff -- so our thanks for being with u tonight is nice to see you >>good to see you >> let me just ask you your to line reaction to this news no one level says relatively run-of-the-mill white collar crime indictment that we believe is about to be unseale in new york in coming days on the other hand this i history. it's the first time a former president and said to face formal charges of any kind >> it is a sad and soberin they and the life of our country. it's the first time a presiden was indicted for crimina charges. so also i think the vindicatio of the rule of law, th principle that people should b held accountable whether the rich and powerful, whether they're presidents for forme presidents, or whether they're ordinary citizens. prosecutor should follow the evidence, in philly is to go because they're directing th corals scheme, than the one wh did the directing should als be held to account on the same time as wearing to see once again known trump engage in inciting his supporters essentially threatening deat and destruction if we were indicted

speaker mccarthy removed adam schiff and the communist chinese compromise swallow from the house intelligence committee. [applause] and house republicans made sure that omar can no longer spew for wild anti-semitism of foreign affairs committee. we the american people and house republicans will always proudly stand with israel. house republicans established the select committee on communist to expose and combat this great threat across our country. we watched the select subcommittee on the pandemic to continue to dig into what we all do is three years ago. what we were actually smeared by the mainstream media were saying what sound she lied under oath about, that covid came from the communist chinese lab. we are proud to be a party to parents, we introduced the parents bill of rights to ensure that parents not radical leftists or washington bureaucrats, that parents are in thedrivers seat when it comes to their child's education . just this week we asked rain inflation act to hold for his reckless executive orders this is desire and inflation deserves. and yes, we established and are hard at

acclaim schiff later attempted to walk back. the genesis of the impeachment saga has yet to be fully investigated. it needs to be. prior to the impeachment proceedings, hunter biden's obvious conflict of interest in ukraine became public, and senator grassley and i began investigating. we did not target joe and hunter biden. their actions demanded it. on december 9th, 2019, the fbi issued a grand jury subpoena and took possession of hunter biden's left talk from john paul mick isaac. a computer shop owner and wilmington, delaware. as the fbi left his shop with a laptop, mr. mick isaac recalled one agent saying, quote, it is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don't talk about these things, unquote. that statement was the opening salvo in a coordinated effort over the next ten months to sabotage any public revelation of hunter biden's laptop or any wrongdoing connected to the bidens. senator grassley has provided a number of examples of that sabotage. we will release a report that goes into far greater detail

congressman adam schiff served on the january 6th committee.lead manager in the first impeachment of donald trump, the former chairman of the house intelligence committee, also candidate for senate in california. and he joins me now. congressman, first, just your response how you are thinking about eta -- what seems, likelihood that a former president of the united states will be indicted by the manhattan district attorney? >> well, if a grand jury in manhattan has probable cause that donald trump committed a crime, and if they can prove that, he should be indicted. it would be far more dangerous, i think, to the country to essentially immunize presidents and former presidents from harm, saying that it is too controversial, or it will be too divisive. we went through four years when he was president of the united states, where the justice department took the position which is flawed as a constitutional matter, that you can't prosecute a sitting president. you can prosecute cases a sitting president, even if you were to deter to after they leave

adam schiff. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you hand things over. take a look.live pictures palm beach international airport on the left. trump tower midtown manhattan. in many ways, they are the touchstone to the former president. trump tower. we made his big splash in new york first when he built it then when he launched a presidential campaign from it in the airport in the town where he returned after losing the election, he tried to overturn where he will likely depart o

adam schiff. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you hand things over. take a look.live pictures palm beach international airport on the left. trump tower midtown manhattan. in many ways, they are the touchstone to the former president. trump tower. we made his big splash in new york first when he built it then when he launched a presidential campaign from it in the airport in the town where he returned after losing the election, he tried to overturn where he will likely depart on his way back to new york on tuesday. to turn himself in. rather stunning. anderson is tuesday certainly will be as well as historic, not the kind of homecoming any president has ever had, or the kind that anyone president or not. whatever wish for cnn's coverage of donald trump's indictment continues right now.

personally tucker carlson's phone and phone number, and how he is good buddies now. >> congressman schiff, we heard in the back and forth over the security footage, the capitol police of the january 6th committee never asked them, is that true, do you know? >> as far as i know, that is plain false. i'm not surprised that we would hear another falsehood out of kevin mccarthy, in particular i think that the police chief in that two page letter, taking issue with how the events were represented by tucker carlson, said there was no effort to get that input. even when that was available to them, so i think that mccarthy is getting a lot of flak as he should be for compromising the security of the capital. compromising our escape routes, compromising where security officers were posted. given the material to someone in tucker carlson that we see in the dominion litigation basically privately was acknowledging the truth about the election and publicly was lying about it and when others were truthful took issue and wanted to get them fired because it would hurt the profits of fox. so this is who

they imitated, remember adam schiff stood up in congress and repeated the call like i was a gangster, over and over again, quid pro quo, remember the terms? there wasn't. i called downstairs of the white house and said do we have that coal taped? there's no way i said those things. they call back and said yes, we do essentially, transcripts of the call. thank goodness we had transcripts because these guys -- they are sick people and they were looking to do a number. i'll tell you how bad they are. i tell the story seldom but it's a strong story, monica. thank you for the great job you do, by the way. what a defender. [cheering and applauding] there so bad. they come up with this russia, prussia, russia hoax and they know it's a hoax. i know it's a hoax, to but they know it's a hoax and adam schiff comes out from a secretive room, intelligence committee or whatever and meet the press), the press is going crazy because they will do anything to hurt trump, they are ev evil people. some cases they rate people, evil people. he stands up on the microphone, this is a man who knows it's a fak

adam schiff and adam kinzinger. congressman kinzinger, tucker carlson is getting ratings and notoriety out of these. what does speaker mccarthy get where they will be forced to relit at this gate january 6th. is this all about appeasing the more extreme elements of the party. >> hey, adam sr., little inside joke. this is all about trying to win over tucker carlson, trying to win over the base. i think knowing obviously that they're going to look into this january 6th committee, they want to take hold of the narrative, take hold of the narrative themselves. look, what they're trying to do is nuts. what they're trying to do is only to appeal to 30%, to the base of the republican party. they're obviously losing the 70% who know that this was exactly what this was but i'll tell you this much knowing what i know about speaker mccarthy, he's going to be in meetings from here out with every member showing them personally tucker carlson's phone numbers and how he's good buddies now. >> congressman shchiff, they claim the ca

>> cloak adam schiff ha-- i don care what adam schiff has to say.charge a bodega owner with attempted murder for defending himself. a guy broke into his shop, luckily, he had a knife and he ended up defending heat advisory. bragg wanted to throw that man in prison. bragg lets felons go rape women in this city. it is a disgusting scene at the d.a.'s office, and that man better show up to the cameras and start answering questions because what judge he made here. and i hope house republicans haul his little butt back to capitol hill and he answers questions to the american people about what he's doing here. this cannot stand. i actually agree with jessica. this doesn't feel right. something feels terrible. >> you know, gop candidate -- just weighed in saying very similarly it will undermine public trust in our electoral and justice system. he says it's unamerican for the ruling party to use police power to arrest, and i can't read the rest. >> if you thought the system was rigged already -- >> to jesse's point, not the one where he said he agreed with

speaker mccarthy removed corrupt adam schiff and the corrupt chinese compromise eric from the committeed house republicans made sure that elon omar can no longer spew her vile antisemitism -- elon omar can no longer spew her vile anti-'s easement is him -- antisemitism from the dais. how's republicans -- house republicans exposed this great threat across our community. we continued to dig into what we all knew what was true three years ago, when we were vases -- viciously smeared by the mainstream media and what fauci lied about, that covid came from a communist chinese lab. [applause] we are proud to be a party of parents. we ensure that parents are in the drivers seat not washington bureaucrats when it comes to -- there children's education. reckless spending and executive orders have caused -- caused prices to skyrocket. and we are part of the selected committee on the weaponization of the federal government who exposes the deep state and will protect our constitutional rights which have been under attack for far too long from bureaucrats. this community will do some of the most impo

do you consider congressman schiff to be a progressive? i'm glad that he is now for medicare for all and some of the progressive policies, and my view is that politics is about addition. if he wants to join, that's great, but i think barbara lee has had the track record for the past 20 years. really to earn a lot of the progressive trust, particularly again on issues of war and peace and social and racial justice. and so i expect a lot of the progressive in california will rally around her. all right, congressman ro khanna with some big news not running. he's co chairing the election campaign of congresswoman barbara lee running for the senate seat in california. thanks for joining us, sir. appreciate it. thank you, jack. nearly half of all americans are on tiktok 150 million of you are lawmakers really preparing to ban it? that's next. you know if you were casash back, and you can tn on everything with just one card chase, freedom unlimited. you're off the racket or crab. cracking your cash back in cash back on flapjacks, baby backs tacos

chairman schiff claimed without any evidence whatsoever that our oversight work was rooted in russian disinformation. you know, he conveniently left out that our oversight work was actually rooted in official u.s. government and obama administration records. guess what? senator blumenthal also wrote an op-ed in the washington post accusing our investigation of, quote, perpetuating russian disinformation in the u.s. senate, and quote. guess what? minority leader schumer and ranking member white and try to offer a resolution in the senate disparaging our biden investigation. they innocence were basically calling us stooges. it's pretty simple. that violated senate rules in their efforts and were appropriately shut down. on july 16th, 2020, days after the july 13th letter, ranking member's widen and peters wrote a letter to me and senator johnson asking for a briefing from the fbi's foreign influence task force. our staff and the ranking member staff had already -- remember, we had already received a briefing march 2020 that put the issue to rest. why another riffing? the point was that
