it's willie.ople, this is easy to criticize, all the things this freshman congresswoman has said and done over the years, including recent days. what is your read on people why congressional republicans, kevin mccarthy, won't say the obvious things, that her views are disgusting and outrageous? >> because they're cowards. and because they have been using this performance-enhancing drug and they're hooked on it. it got them pretty far. it got them with some extra strength for a while. but now it is killing the body of their party. that's what we're seeing. the problem is the rest of us are affected by this. these conspiracy theorists deny the pandemic. on so how can they be trusted with a response? they deny the results of a fair election. my goodness, if they were in charge of the house of representatives, would donald trump still be president? the point is this is a danger. it's a danger to our health, our families. they deny school shootings. our argument is that you can do qanon or you can do g

willis, thanks, again, for sticking with us. i wanted to ask you about the impeachment element here. this phone call between then president trump and the secretary of state of georgia is mentioned in the article of impeachment on which president trump is being tried right now. did the impeachment and that process have any bearing at all on your decision to open this investigation or how you look at your responsibilities here? >> zero. none whatsoever. >> just a completely independent process. okay. >> yeah, it's -- i mean, if we watch -- i just want to be clear. if we watch that trial and witnesses come forward that are relevant to my investigation, certainly, we would do our due diligence and interview them, but whether there was an impeachment or not an impeachment would not change the fact that something occurred here within my jurisdiction that may be criminal. and if that is the case, it needed to be investigated. >> i will mention impeachment in one other context here, just because we have all, as a country, watched for 2

. >> there's two questions here, willie.editorial board of the wall street journal is asking whether donald trump could fr win a general election and become president of the united states again. it's likely that the vast majority of the senators who voted either way believe that that's the case. and the suggestion by mcconnell that there may be criminal liability here and he will be held accountable, underscores that reality. that is different from what happens in primary elections. donald trump has incredible sway over the base voters, as charlie was talking about. and a lot of those people are the ones who vote in primaries. if that base and donald trump is choosing primary election candidates, that's a legitimate threat if you are a member of the senate who is up for re-election soon. it's part of why only one republican, lisa murkowski, who is up in 2022 for re-election, voted to convict president trump. nobody up in 2022 voted for it because they are all up. he's going to have trouble running them against democrats. jon

willis, thank you for sticking with us. call, the phone call between president trump and the secretary of state of georgia is mentioned in the impeachment in which trump is being tried right now. did the impeachment in that process have any bearing at all in your decision to open the investigation or how you look at your responsibilities here? >> zero. none whatsoever. >> just completely independent process, okay. >> yes, it's -- i mean, if we watch -- i just want to be clear. we watch that trial and witnesses come forward that are relevant to my investigation, certainly we will do our due diligence and interview them. but whether there was an impeachment or not an impeachment would not change the fact that something occurred here within my jurisdiction that may be criminal. and if that is the case, it needed to be investigated. >> i will mention impeachment in one other context here just because we have all as a country watched for 2 1/2 days now as house impeachment managers have laid out this evidence about how the forme

willie, every day gets more damning. he is already damned by the voters. he is already damned by everything that he has done. it is republicans now who are sitting back, like rick scott who is saying that is just a waste of time. after watching these cop killers go in and savage police officers. after watching this terrorist mob going in and brutalizing, brutalizing cops and threatening the lives of the republican vice president and his family, calling for his hanging, calling for his lynching, willie. and rick scott says -- this called up memories for many of them. it showed new video. perhaps they didn't realize how close they were to be in the line of terrorists as they stormed the building. many of them came out and effectively shrugged their shoulders at what they saw. if you actually watched this video, if you listened to the testimony, to the argument from the house managers and were not moved in some way, then something is so dead inside you that you are beyond repair. if you're josh hawley making obviously an ex

willie gave the count of the secret ballot. there was one person who voted present on the liz cheney thing. that is my favorite thing of the whole day. in the secret ballot. i'll bet it may have been kevin mccarthy. let's put that aside. not just jewish lasers, they are jewish space lasers that caused the california wildfires. get that clear. what's the answer on her? yesterday kevin mccarthy not only didn't take the layup, do what was obviously the right thing to do morally, ethically, politically for the party and for the country, he tried to blame democrats. he spent all day yesterday saying that democrats are doing this terrible thing. they are trying to chip her of her chairmanship. and he spent the day rather than leading his own party in the house and spent the thing trying to lay this off on democrats. so you know that's what he's going to do today too. having said that, what is the answer here? why? the answer is marjorie taylor greene did something smart this weekend. she got on twitter and said i've been talking to d

the other point i wanted to make too, willie.ted lou saying, you know what, if you allow this to go forward, he's going to run again, he's going to lose and this is going to happen again, rounds said that resonated with some republicans. so i think that is really something to keep an eye on and to watch as well. none of them -- if this was a secret ballot, they don't want to have to deal with donald trump running again. you know what, that is even likely true for ted cruz and josh hawley who want to run for president themselves. obviously they're never going to say that in public or admit to it in any form. i will probably get angry emails for even suggesting it. but taking him off the stage is something that so many republicans want to do. they're still afraid of what that might mean among his supporters. you were talking about the senate, a place valued in and of itself. >> right. >> josh hawley, ted cruz, they want to be out of the senate and be president of the united states. they're putting their ambitions ahead of all of th

that district attorney's name is faunae willis.lected last year after beating a sixth term incumbent d.a. who also happened to be her boss. and now she has launched what will be one of the most watched and closely scrutinized criminal investigations in the country. i'm very pleased to say the fulton county district attorney joins us now for the interview. this is her first national tv interview since opening this investigation. district attorney willis thank you for your time tonight. i really appreciate you being here. >> thank you for having me. >> we have, of course, limited visibility into the actions of your office. we know what we know from the letters that have been made public from the statements from your office and from other public source reporting. i feel like i need to just ask you ought the outset if i've gotten anything wrong or anything i've misconstrued in terms of explaining the actions of your office thus far. >> actually while i was listening to you i thought you got it exactly right, that you understood what i

fulton county district attorney fani willis. again, opening an investigation. potential criminal investigation that could result in felony charges against the president as a private citizen. former president, president trump. just astonishing interview. anyway, see you again tomorrow night. now it's time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. rachel, i've been waiting to see, hear, and i hope someday talk to fani willis since the story broke in georgia last month. i remember the first night we covered it as a possible criminal prosecution of donald trump in georgia, remember saying then that fani willis is on the threshold of becoming the most famous district attorney in american history, period, done, because if she ends up being the first and only district attorney in history who prosecutes a former president of the united states, her place in history is assured. the mystery for me as we've been covering it, and reading all these articles about it, is who is she, what is she like, and you answered that to

>> stephen: thank you for that analysis, willy.nt lost. which means biden's inauguration is going to happen on january 20, whether the president likes it or not. for the record, not. thanks to the pandemic, they're making some adjustments to biden's swearing-in ceremony. for instance, they've eliminated the traditional inaugural parade. so, to all you die-hard inaug-heads out there, i'm sorry. you'll just have to go stand in the cold and wave at traffic on your own time. canceling the parade is just part of what the inaugural committee says will be a significantly scaled-down ceremony that will feature stringent health and safety protocols. of course, the current president was way ahead of the curve on having a socially distanced inauguration. speaking of stains on the country that will linger long past this president, we are still in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic, and it's changed the way we do almost everything, including watching movies. we're catching even the biggest new blockbusters at home on the couch. and last mo

of the united states and it's my pleasure to welcome you to today's virtual book talk with deborah willis author of the black civil war soldier. the civil war was the first large and prolonged conflict to extensively be recorded in photographs. this visual record gives us a sense of immediacy that we don't have with paintings and prints from the revolutionary war are other earlier conflicts. we can identify individual faces and we can imagine ourselves on the actual battlefields in the aftermath of the fighting. thousands of those images are now in the national archives but photos of black soldiers are rare. in her book the black civil war soldier deborah willis shows us the faces of a number of black soldiers who took up arms to fight for their freedom. using photographs and the written record she examines not only the individual stories of the soldiers, but also the importance of african-american communities during and after the war. deborah willis is university professor and chair of the department of photography and imaging at the tisch school of the arts at new york university and ha

willie >> kelly o'donnell starting us off at the white house kelly, thanks so much. congresswoman madeline dean was one of those who prosecuted the case against president trump congresswoman, good morning. thanks for taking time with us today. you all were outwardly and publicly confident that if you made your case you could convince some of the republicans in the senate to vote to convict. now that we have a verdict, now that it's overlooking back, did you ever really have a chance with a group of republicans who have long since pledged their allegiance to president trump? >> i certainly homeland we had a chance i remember the opening prayer by the chaplain who focused on the power of truth i knew the facts were there, the truth were there, that this was a grotesque dereliction of duty. so we had hope but sadly, 43 republicans couldn't face the truth and instead voted not guilty i'd rather focus on the seven plus 50 who voted guilty so history will record forever the extraordinary constitutional crimes, the heinous crimes that resulted in death and destruction. so 4

willie was his favorite. and willie was -- losing willie almost killed sherman. >> now, we mentioned a bit briefly about grant and drinking. but, of course, sherman also drank. how did the two of them handle their liquor, if you will? >> well, the interesting thing, needless to talk about, sherman could drink and it didn't really bother him. you don't see any references to sherman being drunk. you don't see any references to sherman not doing what he should do. whereas with grant, they're constantly saying, well, the guy is a drunk, et cetera, et cetera, which he really wasn't but the thing i think about grant, to go back to do grant first, grant most of the stories about grant being drunk are lost-cause stories, are stories that are written up and talked about after the war. the number of people who see grant not having -- not having all of his facilities, faculties, about the only time you can really see that i think is when sherman is in california -- be grant is in california. and he reacts to the fact th

this is the thing, willie. lindsey knows that republicans would be in charge of the senate right now if it were not for donald trump and how he conducted himself during the georgia runoffs. ron johnson knows that mitch mcconnell would be majority leader right now if it were not for donald trump and the way he conducted himself during the georgia runoffs. so, what these two sad, little, petrified men think they're achieving by attacking the majority leader is really, really beyond me. but they're starting a civil war. by the way, they're saying you need to be more like kevin mccarthy, said nobody ever on the face of the earth about any legislative leader. but they're starting a civil war, attacking their minority leader in the senate. you've got the civil war that went on with republicans in georgia, civil war going on in arizona where they're censuring everybody. it's happening in michigan. it's happening in all the swing states. democrats really have to be loving what lindsey graham is doing and what ron johns

>> let's talk about the joy, willie.ut they're ready for a break. >> correct. >> and also kids who want to be with their peers and want to have all the good that comes from kids connecting together again. so in a week, middle school comes back. it's going to be safe because we've really set the gold standard for this nation. we looked at the beginning of opening schools in september. we said let's take the best approaches from around the world. all kids all wear masks. our kids are tested. a big sample of each school tested every week. you know, these are the things that have worked. our schools are the safest places to be in new york city. first middle school, then i look forward to high school. i have to tell you, this whole country has to reopen our schools. enough is enough. our kids need it. they're suffering -- let's be clear, it's not just academic loss. our kids are suffering emotionally. if they're not in school, it's bad for them. it's bad for their emotional development. for a lot of kids it's very, very painf

willis is a student at nottingham i willis is a student at nottingham university. course a university as well, worried about the job market of the future. i guess what i can say is from the contacts i have with universities, i am from the contacts i have with universities, iam involved from the contacts i have with universities, i am involved with king's college london, for example, my sense is that the university communities are very sensitive to this, are going to be very supportive of students, and i think employers having been through this period also get it, and i don't think that they will be looking past this generation of graduates. that doesn't mean that you're not going to graduate into a restricted jobs market. i think unfortunately the economic impact of the pandemic does mean that times are going to be tough. but i do think too that with stimulus and appropriate government programmes and policies, that the economy cannot rebound, and hopefully we take the opportunity to build it back better, stronger, more equitable, green, and that is the jobs market

it's a scary sight, willy li. willie. he's lucky to be alive and all of us covered sports, know tiger, anybody with any humanity is just glad to see that. the conversation that will come will be the golf in the future and all that. but what struck you yesterday as you saw the amount of coverage and the reaction from people around golf and around sports and the around the country including former president obama the impact this athlete had extraordinary cultural sports, societal impact and we've seen so many highs and lows and to watch this play out yesterday was a gut punch for a lot of folks. >> we saw that statement, mike tirico, last night from tiger's team updating us on his medical condition. i mean, frankly, when you look at that scene and we turned on our tvs yesterday, you feared the worst. there was some relief that obviously those are very serious injuries to his leg, but you look at that car and you realize how much worse it could have been. you're dialed in to tiger's world. do you know anything else about how

willie, elizabeth makes a great point. michigan was a dress rehearsal.es of people coming in with military style assault weapons. getting in cops' face. pushing them. being rude to them. people just trying to keep order. this was nothing. this had nothing to do with law and order. it had nothing to do with donald trump and those who lie and say that they're pro-police officer when obviously cop killers in their midst and now they are trying to let the cop killers and the president who inspired the cop killers off the hook. >> yeah. no question about it went a step further on january 6th at the capitol. the images we saw at michigan were white men with semiautomatic rifles face-to-face screaming at them. they pushed their way in. they talked about kidnapping governor whitmer. that plot was foiled when the people got into the capitol january 6th, they were going to look for elected leaders as well, including the vice president of the united states. and we're actually hearing from some of the people who have been arrested. through he men facing federal char

willie was his favorite and losing willie almost killed sherman. because >> we mention a bit briefly about a grant and drinking, but of course sherman also drank. how did the two of them handler liquor if he will? full >> sherman could drink and it didn't seem any problem most of the time. you don't see any references to sherman being drunk, no references to sherman not doing what he should. whereas with grant, you're constantly saying the guys a drunk, etc, etc which he really wasn't, but the thing i think about grant, to go back to do grant first, grant most of the stories about grant being drunk or a lost cause stories. there are stories that are written up and talked about after the war. the number of people because who see grant as not having all his faculties, about the only time you can really see that i think is when sherman is when grant is in california because, and he reacts to the fact that his wife is not with them. he is lonely, so he drinks. he has the unfortunate problem of having as his commanding colonel, an individual who was lik

gerri willis joins us with the details. what do you see?orter: this is an amazing beat on both the bottom and top line. let me give you bottom line. pardon glasses. compared to expectation of 11 cents a year. revenue beat, 2.41 billion compared to 2.24 billion. as you know news corp the owner of "the wall street journal," the "new york post," harpercollins t shares common ownership with fox corp which owns fox business i should say. this is a fascinating report i got to it will you. the company had the most profitable quarter in seven years according to the release. the "new york post" reporting its first profit in quote, modern times. subscription video services up 77%. book publishing at harpercollins, ebidta up 65%. no surprise here, realtor.com, revenue growth of 28%. as you know the housing market has been on fire. it only makes sense that realtor.com and its owner would have a really big quarter but this is an impressive move for news corp as they are in some of the toughest categories going right now including journalism. back to you

>> not good, folks, was mostly his reaction, willie.president, according to people we spoke to, other people close to him, was in rage watching this yesterday. thought the defense was nonsensical, that it was weak, that frankly bruce castor looked bad on television, he didn't have command of the room. his allies sent around talking points and gave interviews throughout the media sphere trying to shape the narrative again and lot really critical of what we saw yesterday. alan dershowitz a trump defender in the past, he was on cable last night saying the same. they were certainly rattled yesterday. the president very upset by happened even as they are still confident at the end of the day they will have the votes for acquittal, they certainly were not pleased with yesterday including the acknowledgment very publicly donald trump lost the election which of course he did but that's not a talking point they're supposed to be using right now. it stands in stark contrast. trump said this to his allies as well to the democrats did, we know pres

this is being done lieu the fulton county district's office, fani willis.ind everyone at home. the first investigation being opened through the secretary of state brad raffensperger's office initially after receiving a criminal complaint from the january 2nd call. willis' office feels they're the ones to do the investigation, and she feels because they weren't actually involved in the call like raffensperger was, they're coming from a source where they're not part of the actual investigation i spoke with voters yesterday about the reaction to yesterday's acquittal as well as moving forward with today's investigations. although they said they're disappointed in yesterday's approval, they aren't surprised. they leaking into holding trump, the citizen accountable. listen to what some of them told me. >> it's a plus that they're actually doing it, radio it? i don't think much will come from it, unfortunately, but we've given a lot of people credit for doing their jobs. >> listening to the tape, it seemed like it was clear election interference. he was clearly t

that's what that cbo analysis indicated. >>> hey, brian, it's willie geist.terday, last night, that the senate cannot include the $15 minimum wage in the relief package. what's the strategy moving forward if it can't be in this big bill. will you carve out separate legislation to raise the minimum wage? >> we were disappointed by the ruling. president biden put it in his american rescue plan. we believe it's a justified urgently needed step forward. this is an effective way to raise the wages of low income americans with a de minimis impact on employment. we think it's the right thing to do. we're going to consult with congressional allies, leadership to talk about a path forward on how we can make progress urgently on what is an urgent issue. at the same time we need to act on this rescue plan. as hopeful as we all are about the extra trajectory of the virus, we need to act urgently now. >> people are worried the minimum wage will fall by the wayside now that it has been disallowed by the parliamentarian. >> the president has campaigned on the $15 minimum wa

and i'm oversimplifying a little bit, willie. if you report $100 in income on the irs but you tell the bank you have $1,000 in income in order to secure a loan, at least one of those documents are false and maybe both. you could have undervalued your tax return and you could have overvalued your loan application. and either one of those two things is a crime. so we want to see what the taxes say because they also point to discrepancies in all the other types of financial documents that an organization or an individual would file. right? they're important in lots of ways. and, willie, if i could add one more thing, they also give you a bunch of leads. they tell you where else to look. taxes are self-reported. but there's a whole bunch of information that goes into compiling taxes. so you want to see the work papers. you want to talk to the accountants. you want to go look at the bank records where income and interest are reported. so tax returns, to dave's point, where usually at the beginning of an investigation because they have
