amy: twitter's to permanently ban trump came amid a wave of suspensions and bans of trump social media sites, including facebook, instagram, youtube, tiktok, reddit, snapchat, and shopify. meanwhile, apple, google, and amazon web services ended their support for the social media network parler over the weekend, which bills itself as twitter without rules. the companies say parler's managers have consistently failed to halt threats of violence and calls for armed insurrection on the site. parler was co-founded by reblican don and trump supporter rebekah mercer, daughter of hedge fund billionaire robert mercer. and in another move from big tech, the payment processing company stripe cut ts with the trump campaign, which has continued to fundraise, saying the trump campaign violated its policies against encouraging violence. we will host a debate later in the broadcast over twitter permanently barring donald trump. more information is emerging about the domestic terrorists behind the january 6 insurrection at the capitol. over the weekend, authorities arrested eric munchel and larry brock

there is a way in which trump does lie. i am not a fan of trump by any means. do see that he is a threat, but i want to say there were times when i really liked what he had to say. occasionally he told the truth. there was a murder of journalist in turkey were trump came back and said, look, the saudis buy arms from us and money owns the narrative. money owns what is right in this country and abroad and there was something very ugly happening in the world. i will take my answer off air, but thank you. host: we will hear from our guest. guest: tony has looked deep into my soul and motivations, which is pretty impressive. i guess i apologize for talking about the things i was asked about and nothing's wished i talked about. host: bruce in alabama, republican . caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i think trump's legacy is pretty much over. i think the democrats -- all he went through for four years, i do not see him ever being able to run. we need nikki haley to step up. we need her to run. i really believe she would be a good first woman president

does that guy think he can replicate trumps act and be trump?> i think they i don't know if they believe that. they don't know what else to do with them themselves after four years of fealty with trump. in 2016 to where you are now. you are trumps lap dog. he yells jump you yell how high. it's a race to the bottom at this point. the funny thing is when you look at every relationship trump has ha. jeff sessions who embarrassed himself. bill barr who is embarrassed hils. mitch mcconnell. the story ends the same way. donald trump attacking them and embarrassing them and trying to humiliate them. and the people are left with the tatters of what used to be their reputation. and i don't understand why all of the people ted cruz went to harvard. he should be smart enough to know the story ends with trump turning on cruz. when you go after a man's wife and father. you have demonstrated there's no low you aren't willing to sink too. he knows this better than anybody having experienced the attacks with his wife. here he is rolling over to trump trying to

now tonight we turn to someone who is standing by trump, a veteran of both trump campaigns and the trumpassistant and a licensed attorney with a jd from georgetown law. >> thank you for having me and a wonderful reading of my resume. >> let me start with the legal problems facing the president. encouraging violence by supporters for years, trying to illegally steal the 2020 election, trying to use that january 6 certification to overthrow the result. that was his goal, that's not in doubt. summons supporters on january 6, telling them to march on the capitol and quote fight, and now steve bannon said on january 5th, the day before, that the rally would be extraordinarily different. all i can say is "strap in." your response to all of that evidence offered that donald trump was inciting this. >> thanks so much, ari. all that evidence is absolute nonsense. i was at the speech on january 6th. and president trump said specifically, i'm surprised you didn't put this quote up there, that people should march peacefully and patriotically to the capitol. peacefully and patriotically, no incitemen

president trump but does the republican party trump's republican party still have that big problem. i think what it be fear to see is that the republican party. some of them don't like the idea of president trump but the a lot of his supporters they like the thought that he can get people out and so they need donald trump. certainly many people even in the republican party have become trump followers there was always a small core of people you think of jeff sessions who was for a long time the only person in the senate who had backed donald trump in 2016 and became attorney general and when he recused himself from the russia investigation he drew the wrath of donald trump who but little tim and the rated him on twitter to the point where jeff sessions eventually resigned but he was the only one in the senate who supported donald trump and there was a feeling. that that was the limit of his support and you remember that many people in the republican party thought when he criticized john mccain because he didn't like people who were captured john mccain being a former prisoner of war

of donald trump. we're hearing all sorts of new information coming to said a tweet from little series of tweets from the republican senator lindsey graham of course a steadfast backer of the president donald trump killed last week a week ago when he pretty much renounced him. but now saying that supporting the impeachment of president trump he tweets. under these circumstances will do great damage to the institutions of government and could invite further violence at a time when the president is calling for calm what would we make of the. first of all lindsey graham was on the flight with president trump down to texas for his event at the border wall touting that as an accomplishment so you wonder what was said between those 2 lindsey graham as you pointed out along so a friend of president of but who markedly said on the senate floor just last week that he was quote done with the president apparently that he's not done after all coming back to the president's defense but you also know that in this la

trump getting 70%. that is very unusual in the internet era going back to the clinton-to-bush transition back in 2001, every single time the president-elect gets a larger share of the media mention in the final month of the transition, this is the exact opposite that is something that goes back to the general election campaign, where trump was crushing biden among media mentions. so biden was more than willing to get the spotlight, let trump hang himself and essentially let bind lead into the transition and do the job and people seem to like that. >> where is trump at this point with republicans? >> yee, so, this basically is very interesting. what you essentially see here is that, you know, donald trump's approval rating has dropped among republicans. it's down to 79%. it was 95% on election day, so it's very clear that over the last say few weeks, there really has been some degradation of that approval rating for trump among republicans, but here is the thing if we go to slide six, that i think is rea

the book is called after trump but it is not only about trump. it trump revealed problems in that wereency completely unprecedented and norms that have operated to constrain the presidency of long manydimensions -- along dimensions failed or did not constrain him. the claim is not that prior presidents were angels. i think mr. trump has been more extreme in many of the dimensions we talk about in the book. we have not seen anything like what happened since the election , his denial of what happened, his efforts to coerce election -- officials to change the election, what happened last wednesday whether you want to call it incitement or not. he has not embraced a norm of transition. there are other things like that. this book is not about why other presidents were virtuous and trump is a bad guy. understand trying to patterns of presidential history that led us to the point of donald trump, what he did and what needs to be done going forward. host: does the book address how presidents speak? disinformation? guest: it is a hard area to regulate. ta

trump bullied the national park service.l, if you're going to make the national park service edit photographs at least make it something fun like old faithful spewing lava or a moose with angelina jolie's eyes good-looking moose and as we've learned over the last four years, if you're willing to lie about inconsequential things like crowd size or a weather map, you're also willing to lie about far more important things -- like the coronavirus pandemic, which has now passed a grim new death toll of 400,000 on trump's final day in office. trump insisted that covid would magically disappear, that it could be easily cured, and, much like the inauguration lie, everyone around him, from his closest aides to government scientists, was ordered to fall in line or face consequences and while some stood up to him, his closest sycophants decided to take part in the lie and deny reality. >> you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. it's going to disappear. one day it's like a miracle. it

lesson, donald trump is -- listen, donald trump was a controversial figure even before the riots of the capital. the riots were a breaking point. the question becomes, what do the republicans do moving forward? they are in a tough spot, donald trump got more votes than any other sitting president in history. including barack obama. so he has a lot of fervent supporters throughout the u.s. the republican party now is going to have to figure out how they move forward in a post-donald trump world, where they no longer control the house of representatives, nor the senate, nor the white house, but they have a polarizing ex-president with 70 something odd million people that just voted for him. very difficult task for the republican party. anchor: they couldn't possibly go as far as supporting impeachment, could they? >> it seems unlikely at this point with 13 days left and given this statement from trump. this was his video statement basically saying let me serve out the next 13 days, that was the subtext of this video statement. it would be hard at this point given this for republicans to g

if there after the senate votes to convict president trump, if that happens while trump is still in office, the effect of the vote to convict him will be to remove him from office. vice president mike pence will become the next president of the united states. that will make joe biden the 47th, not the 46th president of the united states, even if mike pence only serves for five minutes. now, can a president be impeached after he's left office? arguable question, lots of legal scholars on both sides weighing in. but let's say the conviction of donald trump on impeachment charges happens after the inauguration. let's say they do pursue it in the senate but it happens after trump leaves office. even in that circumstance, the conviction of president trump in the senate would be followed by another vote, and the consequent vote after they voted to convict him in the senate would be on whether president trump should be permanently banned from ever holding federal office again. that vote would follow immediatel, the two-thirds vote in the senate to convict him. but that vote on banning him from pu

as those pro trump, that pro trump mob was breaching capitol hill he was still complaining about the vice president back at the white house. according to several people i spoke with who had been on the phone and in person with the president. one thing we should note to give you a sense of the reactions and how they're taking two completely different paths here, today we were told the vice president called the family of the slain capitol hill police officer who of course was only the fourth capitol police officer to die in the line of duty in the 200 years since it has been a force. and meanwhile at the white house you notice behind me you see the flag, it is at full staff. that is not what you see on capitol hill where they lowered the flags to half staff in honor of the police officer who was killed as a result of injuries that he sustained as that pro trump mob was attacking capitol hill. and the white house put out a statement that was not in the president's name. he personally did not weigh in on twitter before his account got suspended and they have not lowered those flags to ha

president trump was the last speaker. he continued to insist falsely that he won the election in a landslide. he encouraged the crowd to fight much harder. president trump attack members of his own party, saying he's going to get rid of the weak congresspeople, the people that are not good like liz cheney. he said if you don't fight like hell, you are not going to have a country anymore. the president's supporters took him at his word. we all witnessed what happened next. thousands of angry, violent domestic terrorists storm to the capitol building. they climbed walls, shattered windows and left a path of destruction. destroying statues, monuments and smearing their feces, blood and urine throughout the halls of congress. five people were killed, including a capitol police officer. members of congress and members of the press fled for their lives. the joint session certifying the electoral college results was delayed. even when it was clear things had gotten completely out of control, president trump released a video on t

trump did it. here is that key part again. >> they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. >> if the senate does conclude that trump did it, caused the riot, that is constitutionally enough for conviction. and then a separate vote would be held on whether to ban trump from running again. that would be game over. does that mean this is all over? no. have you met mitch mcconnell? he is canny. he notoriously keeps his options open. now today the news is mcconnell did go farther than most elected republicans have to blame trump for the violent riot, for the insurrection. but he also carefully used the word "provoke" not the word incite from the actual impeachment charge. if republicans get the votes and they convict, mcconnell can claim he led this march for accountability, including what he said today. but if he backs down and ultimately votes to acquit trump, mcconnell can claim while he condemned trump for provoking this, maybe he doesn't believe democrats ultimately proved their c

donald trump has engaged in. solicitation of election fraud in georgia trying to get they georgia secretary of state to have come up with 13000 votes is inside it a riot and encouraged sedition he had a meeting and the white house where he talked about it with michael flynn his former general flynn as national security advisor about using martial law and having the military go into pennsylvania and georgia and other states to redo the election donald trump is behaving like a dictator and you can have a left wing dictator right wing that that are. they hate that way this has nothing to do with political ideology there's a big difference between a staunch conservative of which mitt mitt romney certainly has and someone like donald trump who does not believe in objective truth talks about alternative bax spills out lies and then ultimately believes in force rather than the rule of law and that's a decision the republican party has to make those want to say that marco rubio is just running scared right now because th

he was a trump appointee. he was set to resign on or the day before the inauguration, but he resigned today because of an unforeseeable circumstance. i guess the unforeseeable circumstance was that the president may commit a crime in you jurisdiction. >> i don't believe much in coincidence, especially in politics like this. it strikes me as odd that he left today. i know b.j. pack. he's a friend of mine. while we may be in different political authorities, i consider him an honorable guy and has a lot of integrity, and he's done a good job running the office there. so to leave in the abrupt manner that he did certainly raises some suspicion, and you have to wonder, was he asked to do something that he didn't want to do, was he asked to initiate some investigation perhaps into people who weren't seeing it the way the administration wanted things to come down? that's the question. i don't know that. but, again, i don't believe much in coincidence. let me say one thing, too, about intent if i can. the president ba

trump a second time. putting aside the history of this thing, that impeachment happens by congress, but in the spirit of healing and fidelity to our constitution, this idea that impeachment would be divisive in the country right now, your response? >> it's a shameful thing for them to even suggest that we witness a crime being committed against our country and because we want unity and healing we should decide not to prosecute someone for that crime. i mean i can't even tell you just how much of a mockery that makes of our democratic institutions, of our constitution, of the oath of office that we have taken. i am so ashamed to serve with these people who truly have neglected their oath of office. i can't begin to tell you how angry and frustrated it makes me. and we're not even getting to the process of dealing with what has taken place on wednesday. this is something that has gone on far too long. and i want my colleagues to be shaken and to understand that we have taken an oath of office to protect the

donald trump has engaged in. solicitation of election fraud in georgia trying to get they georgia secretary of state to have come up with 13000 votes is incited a riot and encouraged sedition he had a meeting in the white house where he talked about it with michael flynn as former general flynn as national security advisor about using martial law and having the military go into pennsylvania and georgia and other states to redo the election donald trump is behaving like a dictator and you can have a left wing dictator or a right wing dictator. they hate that way this has nothing to do with political ideology there's a big difference between a staunch conservative of which mitt mitt romney certainly has and someone like donald trump who does not believe in objective truth talks about alternative backs spills out lies and then ultimately believes in force rather than the rule of law and that's a decision the republican party has to make those want to say that marco rubio is just running scared right now because ther

of trump is on.s with the runoff election that was held in georgia. the republicans lost control of the us senate by losing two races down in georgia. so, the end of the trump era leads to a government, the elected part of a government that is under com plete a government that is under complete control of the democrats. and i think these riots in this civil unrest has so riots in this civil unrest has so tarnished the image of trump is him, that a lot of republicans who were unwilling to walk away before our today condemning this and walking away from trump, a sure sign of how this is split even, the trump part of the party. there we re trump part of the party. there were 13 republican senators who said they would vote against confirming the joe biden electors from the contested states that trump was contesting with no grounds. 0nly contesting with no grounds. only seven of them ended up voting against them. and i think itjust shows the wedge this is driving in the republican party. so, it could be t

—— trump may go away. i away, trumpism lives on? -- trump may go away.- trump may go away.i think there is no doubt _ trump may go away. i think there is no doubt stop -- i l there is no doubt stop —— i think there is no doubt. i think there is no doubt. i think there is no doubt. i think the trump dynasty goes away, there is no more panache, and was was of the white house, no more flying around the country on air force one to do fundraisers and things of that nature, i think president trump will have the same appeal sarah pailin did in the 18 months — two years, after running on the ticket withjohn mccain. there will be a useful donald trump in some red states, some red district where his endorsement and the endorsement of perhaps his son, donald trumpjunior, and otherfamily members, will be key. but overall i think the trump dynasty itself with the family members is over. but the part of the american spirit, that rugged individualism, that feeling of wanting to be counted, for so many people who felt they were not counted in november, will live on. i think that is one _ n

to trump who want the rest of the republican party to be more like trump they don't want trump to be more like the rest they want the rest to be more like trump i don't see this as as as as calming down any time soon i'm going to i imagine that the next 4 years you're going to see a lot more rallies a lot more potential violence unfortunately we're going to see a lot more ire and i do believe that trumps political career is very far from over everything that we are a hasn't been purchased through or people do people say we do not consent to being got ratings right and what you see right now is a repeat of history and you see people standing up and say i don't like rivers countries had it i don't agree with the principle that each that is the govern the democratic right that isn't that what you see right now it's not about treason it's about people more american citizens saying that this is not what they signed up for facebook and twitter aren't just just censoring the president they're censoring basically anybody with a with a position that doesn't go along with the silicon valley na

donald trump's presidency. the president tried to clean things up yesterday to agreeing to a peaceful transfer of power, but now "the new york times" is saying he's regretting that. what is going on inside the white house? >> we've got a mentally unstable man who still has the most formidable powers in the world for the next 11 or 12 days, who is raging against his defeat. he suffered a grievous psychic injury, and people are trying to figure out how to keep him from doing more harm to the country than he did by inciting the insurrection on wednesday. we have nancy pelosi, communicating with the chairman of the joint chiefs. you have talk about the 25th amendment, cabinet officers and white house aides resigning. all people, an impeachment effort getting under way in the house. all part of an effort to pressure the president into not doing further things that are dangerous, and it got a response. he reacted to the pressure with that statement last night, where he acknowledged he will not be president after janu

into trump's pocket.also did something which i think is never been done before, at least to my knowledge. i hate to state a negative, he ordered secret service protection for that time for three of his former aides. that is something we have not seen before, steven mnuchin, his former treasury secretary mark meadows, robert o'brien, his former national security advisor. so even out the door, trump a spending government money in an unprecedented way. just as he did going to his properties hundreds of times during his actual term in office. host: how did we get to having a former president act. what was the idea behind it? we think of former president's being relatively well-off, why did congress think that they needed a former president act? guest: because of harry truman. he did not start rich, he was a former have a -- or. a man of extremely modest means but not destitute. he left no white house and moved into the old family home. he did eventually get a book deal which got him a fairly significant amoun

trump also gave a pardon to ken kurson, a close friend of jared kushner, trump's son-in-law.kurson is the former editor of "the new york observer" who was arrested in october for cyberstalking three people, including his ex-wife. the rappers lil wayne and kodak black also received pardons. the white house announced the latest pardons shortly before 1:00 a.m. trump had previously pardoned other top associates, including former campaign manager paul manafort, former national security advisor michael flynn, advisor roger stone, as well as jared kushner's father and four blackwater mercenaries who massacred 17 iraqis in the 2007 nisour square massacre. trump has so far rejected calls to pardon wikileaks founder julian assange or nsa whistleblowers edward snowden and reality winner. meanwhile, trump card command was indicted for recruiting u.s. naval intelligence analyst pollock to sell secrets to israel. this all comes as more details emerge about how allies of trump have personally profited from people seeking pardons. "the new york times" reports an associate of rudy giuliani t

mark: what about trump's chief allies? many referred to by trump's critic as enablers.hould they not face some sort of consequence? >> if they are in congress, they might, but impeachment directed at the president is really direct at him as the leader. he is ultimately immune fm a lot of consequences because of the fact that he is the president, and this is the one thing the congress can do to respond. everyone else can be fired, can be pressured. the president can really only be touched by impeachment. mark: in terms of extending that to others, it is not the way it is done, i'm getting that loudly and clearly. we are seeing votes being tallied now in the house of representatives. donald trump is reportedly trying to issue pardons for himself and his family after the events of last week. to a layman standing here in paris looking at this from a distance, this does not seem right. what do you think? >> pardoning himself? mark: yes. >> yes, so, this is very controversial. noresident has daredo do nixon was advised to his personal lyer that he could pardon himself, but he

trump at 11. those are super discouraging numbers to put it mildly, right? this is the scope of the problem. it's tens of millions of republicans who have bought trump's big lie. and this is why i say it's not even trump and it's not just the congressmen. it's just this is a giant political/cultural divide in the country, and there are a lot of people on the right side, and i'm not saying there is no political violates on the left, but right now the locus of the problem as chris wray said is the armed and dangerous extremism on the right. and that is not a problem, that getting rid of donald trump is solve. . it's not a problem that getting rid of mitch mcconnell can solve. it's a deeply rooted sociological problem that we as a nation are going to have to confront in a thorough going way over the years and decades to come if we're not going to, as i said before, become a country that is plagued by political violence. there are countries like that all over the world. they are not pleasant to live i
