since election day, donald trump has left the work of the presidency to joe biden while donald trump has golfed and conned people out of more money and more money in contributions to his mythical challenge to the election result, which he continues to use as his latest money-raising gimmick, including a fund-raising email sent first thing this morning with the subject line, "i'm not giving up." donald trump gave up working on a covid relief bill that congress passed last week. and then after the bill was passed by the house and the senate and sent to the president, only then did donald trump decide he didn't like something in the bill, he wanted to change the $600 payments in the bill, raise those to $2,000 payments, which democrats immediately agreed to. a way for a president to achieve a goal like that is to veto the bill providing the $600 payment and demand congress send a new one with the $2,000 payment. instead, trump signed the bill, but he delayed his signing of the bill long enough to interrupt unemployment payments to people all over the country who will lose a week of unem

donald trump is the loser. loser. loser. >> i would say this is america, but that would be insulting to childish gambino. was that a low-key reference to drake's "over"? >> for trump, yes, it's over. >> makes me think of dr. dre's the chronic. >> the truth hurts it. >> let me say it the way biggie smalls would say it, even when i was wrong, i got my point across. >> when the ladies run this, yes, we do. >> isn't that why drake says no new friends? wasn't it pusha t who said i believe there is a god above me, i'm just the god of everything else? >> uh-huh. >> why don't we see if we have michael steele. i'm dialing for guests. >> i was hoping for joy reid. but go ahead. >> this is a disaster. >> whenever i see a hurricane and 125-mile-per-hour wind, hang onto a pole. >> you do have a nice head of hair. >> it's the only thing democrats and republicans can agree on. >> do you have time, though, for a bad, passover joke? >> do you have a favorite economist joke? >> you know the rapper 50 cent, right? given recent inflation

we begin what may lie ahead for donald trump in 2021. what legal exposure he'll face after he leaves office in january. this is our special report on the criminal, legal exposure that potentially faces donald trump when he leaves office. most presidents depart with less pressing concerns. they're focussed on their memoirs, the presidential libraries. very few actually leave with this active talk about potential prosecution. that was the case for nixon who cut off the real risk of potential federal prosecution by engineering the pardon from his successor. now you have donald trump stoking some similar intrigue by talking up the more extreme measure of trying to pardon himself. now, why does donald trump even think he needs a federal pardon? only he knows. to be as fair as possible, the evidence suggests it would not be for russian collusion for example because after all the scrutiny on that issue the mueller probe did not conclude that donald trump criminally conspired with russia. a self-pardon wouldn't address any state issues in new yo

because donald trump said so. this is the definition of an autocracy and once you understand that the gop itself has become an autocracy, it becomes easy to understand a lot of what is going on. an autocratic gop all in on donald trump's attempt to wreck our democracy is where we start this hour with our most favorite friends. former rnc chairman michael steele is here, also joining us former democratic congresswoman donna edwards. michael steele, i know we're ten train stops past the prize, but where is the condemnation from anyone who wants to continue to say that they govern in a democracy. >> well, they're not governing in this democracy. they haven't been governing for a while now. they've ceded that. you're talking about a party that has no ideology morings that couldn't sit in a room to come up with a platform to decide and define for the country who we would be and what we would say to the country in this most previous election cycle. so, the realities are one of, you know, as the secretary of state said,

election from donald trump. and the people with trump merch and guns ow side jocelyn benson's home were very scary looking as they chanted "stop the steal." but in the end, they simply stopped chanting and went home. earlier tonight jocelyn benson said, "i am proud to stand guard over our voters." michigan state representative, cynthia johnson, a detroit democrat, has received threatening phone calls including one that threatened lynching. now, i will not play for you the audio of that call, which is filled with racist poison and includes the very specific threat of lynching from the woman making that profane, threatening phone call. other democrats in michigan have also been threatened. michigan's governor, gretchen whitmer, was the subject of a kidnap-and-murder conspiracy that was perpetrated by informers and led to the arrest of 14 people on federal and state charges, it was penetrated. today governor whitmer said this. >> i want to end by discussing the recent threats against the secretary of state, jocelyn

they made a lot of money on donald trump and covering donald trump from a negative perspective. i'd like hardtalk and the bbc to do a story about all these people that profited big—time by being very critical of the president. right now, i'm really focused on you and your news network, and i am mindful that... i get that. ..while the election was unfolding and the post—election was unfolding, america was also grappling with a terrible, terrible crisis, the coronavirus crisis — the death toll now beyond 300,000. i'm also looking at the way you've covered that. while you're prioritising trump's fight against the election result, you're also, in terms of the presenters and their opinions on your network, suggesting that there is something very strange about coronavirus. two of your presenters have called it a "scamdemic", and have explicitly linked it to a democratic plan to rig the election. again, i ask you, when you hear that on your own network, do you intervene and tell them to stop? can you give me the specifics? because this is — anybody that watches our network know

putting against donald trump then said the want to vote against donald trump but i don't want to send my party at your company and message so i will the senator in texas and go down the ballot and vote for a republican texas house members and karen is right because in texas democrats thought they had a chance to take control of the texas house for the first time since 2001 and on the state wide race on the strength of biden that he can in texas and it didn't happen because they try get trump out of office but the state on - - the same time it like a congressman and republican senators. perhaps some of that went on. >>. >> looking at the numbers for both we surprised at these record turnouts? >> and he said 81 million people would vote i thought it would be both sides not just for one candidate. 155million people voting i think in the last election increase was surprising to me away i expected more people were over trump and more for biden but not with the increase. people wanted to vote. and briefly to address the other question you just asked , one of the things you saw with a split

donald trump planned to do that, donald trump thought it was in the bag. because he put three of those justices on the supreme court. today the united states supreme court refused to even consider, even hear or consider a case brought to invalidate millions of mail-in ballots in pennsylvania. donald trump was expecting his united states supreme court to issue an historic opinion invalidating pennsylvania's mail-in ballots and instead -- instead -- he got this. this piece of paper. i'm not sure if the light can show you this correctly, but it's this tiny little piece of print here. that's the whole thing. this is the supreme court's way of saying, you are out of your mind. it is an order from the supreme court. it does not have any justices' names attached as the authors of the order, which means it is a unanimous order of the united states supreme court. and it simply says the request to hear the case by the supreme court is denied. they don't even bother to give a reason for the denial because the case itself is so preposterous, so insulting to them, that

i'm referring to conviction of donald trump's long-time lawyer michael cohen for providing donald trump's payments in exchange for the silence of stormy daniels. remember, cohen went to jail for that crime, among others. federal prosecutors said it was all to benefit trump and i can tell you we have a very relevant guest for this discussion. a man who would be a key witness in any such case, michael cohen himself. cohen was convicted for his work on behalf of individual one, donald trump. and if trump was a knowing party to that crime, legally, he could still face potential prosecution, i mean, technically, he could, because the deadline has not yet run for that kind of campaign finance violation. now, you may recall this whole case, it began with a secret. donald trump paying daniels to hide their encounters which date back to 2006. and the legal problems came when trump and cohen acted around the 2016 election. and there's stronger evidence here than in most stories. that is to say, if you're talking to people about, oh, should trump be charged or not, in some of those stories or cases,

it is a marked contrast from donald trump's cabinet. biden ran on this very tiring step. >> both from vice president to supreme court to cabinet positions to every major position in the white house. >> a lot of voters say they are going to hold him to it. we will keep reporting on the facts so you know the score. we will be back with one more update. e update how did you find great-grandma's recipe? we're related to them? we're portuguese? i thought we were hungarian? grandpa, can you tell me the story again? behind every question is a story waiting to be discovered. ♪ birds flyin' high you know how i feel ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing] ♪ it's a new dawn, it's a new day... ♪ no matter how you got copd it's time to make a stand. ♪ ...and i'm feelin' good start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy helps people breathe easier and improves lung function. it also helps prevent futu

donald trump lost this election. why do we hear five minutes after it's made official by california about bill barr? the president is trying to step on the headline, frankly, and that's significant too but in the context of the day's big news, that's a distraction compared to what really happened which is that yet again donald trump lost this election. i don't know how many times he wants to lose it but he lost it again today. >> right, the battering ram of the losses including that supreme court dismissal which was just as embarrassing and complete a rejection as you can get friday really underscores what's going on and it's a reminder, professor murray, of how the alternate reality of trumpism may try to persist far longer than january 20th. here was stephen miller who is one of the longest serving white house aides to this president. take a look. >> as we speak today an ultimate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're going to send those results up to congress. this will ensure that al

. ♪ donald trump's bid to overturn the u.s. election result has suffered another major blow with the attorney general saying there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. william barr told the associated press the justice department investigation has in his words not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome. president-elect joe biden the trump by 300-6200 32 votes and either electoral college in more than 6 million in the popular vote. let's speak to our white house correspondent. william barr was one of donald trump's biggest supporters. there must be a particular staying in this one for the president. >> if we are honest, a lot of people were expecting bill barr to be fired in the last couple of hours. he was here on the white house campus for a meeting that was described as routine. he was with the president for an hour and he left. before the election, bill barr was saying voter fraud could be caused by mail-in ballots. now he is saying we have looked at this and there is no widespread evidence o

where is donald trump? at the end of 2020, nation is facing multiple catastrophic crises and donald trump is awol. where is donald trump? more than 13,000 americans have died from the coronavirus, including 11,000 people in the last week alone. where is donald trump? today mike pence got a covid vaccine on live television. it could have been a true educational moment for those who fear the vaccine. but it wasn't. because the president didn't show. where is donald trump? millions of unemployed americans are on the brink of economic ruin, and there's still no guarantee of a deal on a relief package. where is donald trump? this is far worse than his usual laziness. his absence is unacceptable and unforgivable. he's missing in action when our nation is suffering. in the more than 50 tweets trump sent this week, he said nothing about the hack or the relief package or the surge in covid deaths. so where is donald trump? he's focused on the one thing he cares about, the one thing he's obsessed with more than anyth

one of the lessons that we learned from the donald trump administration or the donald trump experience is that voters careless about these procedural issues and governing norms and kind of separation of powers than they do about results and so if joe biden doesn't want to have a failed presidency, it is going to be incokucome -- incum on him to deliver relief in a country where many are experiencing such extreme suffering and anxiety right now and sort of not let an obsession with bipartisanship or obsession with compromise get in the way of trying to deliver for the american people. >> all great points. we're probably not going to resolve the full stand off tonight but will there is defin something here with democrats winning the white house and held onto the house. they have those two points of representative government. it may not be on joe biden to prove his worthiness to mitch mcconnell. it may be the other way around if the senate wants to be relevant and that depends on the posture they take. michelle, john, sally, thanks for kicking us off tonight. >> thank you so much. >> appr

this is donald trump's party. for more on the future of donald trump's party, the gop, tina nguyen is a white house reporter at politico where she covers maga world. jennifer is it a former chair of the new hampshire party who announced this month she's leaving the party over gop efforts to overturn the election result. tia, let me start with you. is it donald trump's party as matt gaetz says? it sure looks like it from where i'm sitting. >> it's a strange situation because you can't quite tell where the party ends and where donald trump's supporters begin. while you have members who are 100% republicans and pro democrat, you have a giant section of republicans who are saying, okay, we maybe need to move on and just deal with the biden presidency. let's certify the results in congress next week and say, okay, biden won because here are the votes. or they can indulge in a fantasy and say that donald trump isn't going to leave the white house and what we can do is somehow manipulate the rules of congress to do so. a

can donald trump pardon himself? as i said, the way i read the constitution, president seems to have that authority. seems like an unlimited authority in that direction. doesn't say anything about the president not being able to pardon himself, but it also doesn't say the president can pardon himself. tonight we will hear from america's leading expert on the constitution, harvard's constitutional law professor laurence tribe. we will get professor tribe's answer to the most important question facing donald trump in his remaining 48 days as president, can a president of the united states pardon himself? >>> in the last hour president-elect biden and vice president-elect harris sat for their very first joint interview. it was the first picture we have had, really, of the biden/harris administration in action, the way they're going to work together. we're going to get to all of that in our discussion here. >>> and on this record-setting day, on this day when we set a new record for the total number of coronavirus infect

donald trump was nothing. he was just a guy he would make these boring speeches until he went on the view and made his comment about barack obama's birth certificate. he shot to the top of the polls precisely because of that. when you talk to trump man, they sayo a they hated barack obama so much that they were willing to attack him because of a lie. republicans were willing to support donald trump because he won the republican nomination based on that lie. republicans 90% of think donald trump is not a racist, but 85% of democrats do. we as a country do not care about facts, so long as partisan identity politics are part of the discussion. they cannot accept he is a racist. that is why you have people like paul ryan saying, yes, the man is a racist but at least he is not hillary clinton. at least he is not a democrat. host: all right, terrence. guest: that is something i have observed as well. i like paul ryan. i have written columns about some of his ideas. he's a thinking conservative. and not against compr

donald trump will pretend that there's a way for congress to change the results. which is technically true. but it would have to be supported by a majority of the house and senate, so joe biden will still be the next president of the united states. in the sequence of voting by the states today in the electoral college, california had the honor of pushing joe biden and california's own kamala harris over the top in the electoral college.a >> i will now announce the tally of the votes for the office of president of the united states. for joseph r. biden of delaware, a democrat, ayes, 55. noes, 0.

donald trump. no major huang in tbank in the d do business with donald trump. he didn't tell banks the truth about his finances, he didn't make good on his debts. they ended up taking masses losses and then they all walked away from him. but for deutsche bank. and that has been one of the $10 million questions sitting around donald trump, why did this one bank continue to do business with him. even after in the mid 2000s when one of his chicago projects ask a under stress, trump sued deutsche bank to avoid paying them back for a massive loan on that plot aroperty and yet they doing business with him. and they transferred everything into the private bank and run by rosemary blalec. and deutsche bank has had a lot of problems themselves with regulatory issues. it has always been a target in the last several years from regulators. and law enforcement officials. the bank has worked hard to get past those problem, but all of those occurred when donald trump was their client. and everything that happened

>> donald trump was complicit in this conduct. he should face liability for the conduct. >> the weight of evidence will get great e but it's so overwhelming now. >> you think it's nefarious. >> it's a campaign violation, this is the finding of the prosecutors, directing his lawyer to pay hush money to corrupt an american election. >> was the nation"national enqu acting as the arm of donald trump and michael cohen, and is there something wrong with that. >> we strongly suspect those were. >> those parties said they had lots of proof. mr. avenatti who you just saw there, he initially forced a lot of this into the public square but was indicted on other unrelated crimes for which he awaits trial. in fairness, there are other legal reasons why this kind of case against donald trump might not hold out if pursued. take the relatively exampleov o edwards, charged on a similar theory but he avoided conviction making the argument that whatever bad things he did, the goal was not violating the campaign finance laws. he was acquitted. the ru

it's not donald trump is a good actor here but i think very occasionally, donald trump will stumble on the right position for the wrong reasons. >> yeah, correct on that point, too. joyce, let's look at january 6th for a moment because that's the third aspect of trump world if you want to look at it like that right now. he's trying to undermine democracy. he's been doing it since the election. now he's trying to derail the certification of joe biden on january the 6th. any legal basis to what he is trying to do? >> no, there really isn't. we've seen this trajectory since the night of the election where trump continues to be, as jason points out, the chaos president. his goal is to destabilize and create uncertainty so whether that's letting federal workers go home tonight not knowing if there will be a new budget command or trying to leave the american people with the perception that he might still find something last gasp way of winning this election. trump is all in it for the chaos. but he won't be successful in overturning the results of this election, the american people have spok

to me this is donald trump's big moment. i am of the belief that with all the dissension, some republicans irritated at him and some republicans in georgia might not vote because he doesn't like -- they need donald trump to pull out georgia. if he does that he will go out on a winning note. whatever else happens on the other votes if he does that he will go out on a winning note. if he doesn't he will be blamed and the interesting thing in this race, the opposite of to bonemeal, all politics is local. all politics is nationally in these races. joe biden is a nonentity. john ossoff had fewer voters than joe biden. it will confirm he has no coattails as we saw in november. bret: senator josh holly from missouri signing onto this effort to challenge the election results. what does that mean big picture come january 6th? >> it means nothing in terms of joe biden being sworn in but it is the third issue we are talking about where republicans are forced to do something difficult in early january. republicans would rather avoid dea

donald trump. you had him trying to interfere from beginning to end and we're now when we're going to show this for you, you're now even going getting publications like the national review -- >> yeah. >> who called up the president a few times in the post election -- post election period. but just saying enough is enough. "the wall street journal" editorial page. even brought themselves to saying as much a week or two ago. so everybody knows the gig's up. but for some reason, republican senators and mitch mcconnell just can't let those words cross -- >> but talk about the height of needy. talking about while he's certificating on television like i must stop this and then having the guy not take his call publicly. that's in trump's mind, that's painful. as willie mentioned, the state's most hotly battleground states have now certificated the -- certified the election results. the state of arizona certified its election results yesterday. solidifying joe biden's win and clearing the way for mark kell

i saw donald trump's statement. i agree with it. it is a terrible bill that is an insult and slap in the face to the american people who are struggling and suffering right now. those families sitting in their car waiting hours in line to pick up free food, people who lost their jobs who are afraid of being evicted from their apartments because they can't afford to pay the rent and to see this bill passed through congress that is touted as a great covid-19 relief bill and say you get $600 while hundreds of billions of dollars going to corporate special interests, it is absolutely offensive and congress needs to fix this. shannon: we will see if they can get together the two sides. we will get cut off but good to see you. an update on a big case the trump campaign is fighting in georgia next. these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the a

this may be the most important speech i've ever made donald trump's 46 minute outburst the u.s. president outlines why you believe the election was stolen. after months of deadlock says finally progress in efforts to restart peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban. and 3 prominent hong kong activists are jailed for their role in last year's pro-democracy protests. a new beginning here in london where the u.k. has become the 1st western country to grant emergency approval to a coronavirus vaccine europe's worst affected country will start rolling out the dishes developed by pfizer and biotech as early as next week or the pandemic continues to wreak havoc on people's lives and the world's economy 1st in line will be those most at risk including care home residents health care workers and those over the age of 80 the u.k. has ordered 40000000 doses that's enough for 20000000 people just under a 3rd of the national population as the need to receive a shot twice it will also be difficult to rollout a vaccine was 95 percent effective in trials stored at minus 70 degr

trump's mean lawyer has said that the battle to keep when donald trump the election goes on until i live in 59 on the 20th of january which of course is just. before when joe biden will be sworn i know that might be his ambition but certainly the electoral college vote will mean a lot of republicans will start seeing the joe biden is the president elect so donald trump will continue all the way till january the 6th to insist there's still a chance that this election result can be overturned and even after january the 20th in you know gratian there was still time when donald trump will say he is the guy who won the presidential election in 2020 and joe biden is an illegitimate president and that is a campaign theme that he will continue for many years after an element that on going to speak does seem that some states are putting in extra security measures in place because of credible threats how concerned are they about this what. there's real concern particularly in places like michigan oh you remember earlier this year when the governor announced the mass mandate there was armed me

and donald trump is not going anywhere. the loser is the republican party who will not be able to rebuild themselves without having to take him on, head on. they need to grow a backbone because whether it's now or a year from now the only way they're going to be able to re-establish the party is they're going to have to get in the ring and beat donald trump down and take him out of the political -- out of the discussion of legitimate policies. otherwise he's going to continue to side line them as a party and continue to embellish himself because he just can't help it. he needs the attention. >> rev, what are you bracing for in terms of his pardons which are expected to be plentiful? obviously anyone who needs a pardon is already in trouble with the law, but they're not expected to be the run of the mill kind of folks that were mistreated by the criminal justice system. what are you expecting? >> i'm expecting he's going to pardon those that have been loyal to him, that have paid homage to him, watch the attorney general in

and neither can donald trump. while the lame duck president may be considering pardons for himself, his pals and his family members, those pardons don't provide protections against any charges at the state or local level. and there's a lot of reporting to suggest that significant legal trouble awaits trump once he's out of office and no longer immune from prosecution. joining our conversation, david k. johnson, a tax expert, a pulitzer prize-winning investigator reporter and author of "the making of donald trump." andrew weissmann is still with us. i want to understand what you both think donald trump understands. you first, david, about his exposure in these new york investigations. >> oh, donald knows very well, nicolle, that he is likely to be indicted on business insurance banking and tax fraud by the state of new york. and let's remember, he has been tried twice, civilly, for tax fraud and lost both cases and he was shown in one of those cases to be a forger. donald knows that these are very dangerous cases f

donald trump's bid to overturn the u.s. presidential election result has suffered another major blow with the attorney general saying there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. bill barr told the associated press that the justice department investigation has in his words not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome. where president elect joe biden be trumped 53062232 votes in the electoral college. and more than 6000000 in the popular vote. well, alan fisher is following events from the white house considering what a big supporter of the president bill barr always has been. what has the response been from the trumpet ministration and his legal team? well, there are people thing, the billboard is going to get fired because donald trump has since the election been talking about widespread voter fraud. he said in an interview on sunday that he believed the department of justice billboards, the partment and the f.b.i. could have been involved in some sort of conspiracy to steal the election away f

now we have the statement from donald trump and imight add, statement from donald trump and i might add, one from bill barr says any time when the country is so deeply divided its incumbent on all levels of government, all agencies acting within their purview to do all we can to ensure the integrity of elections and promote public confidence in the outcome. giving a little bit of leeway to the president and his claims but not going that extra mile donald trump wants to confirm allegations of voter fraud. results from electoral colleges in all but one us state giving him, joe biden has won the state—by—state electoral college vote that formally determines the us presidency, coinciding with the us recording it's 300,000 corona death. the number was just after the first vaccine was administered to a citizen. sandra lindsay — an intensive care nurse in new york — got herjab on camera in an effort to help boost public confidence in the vaccine. she said she hoped this was the beginning of the end of a long, painful period. nick bryant reports. this was a made for television moment st

trump and donald trump. is this destined to be paralysed with division? chris, in new york, welcome to heart talk. —— acro one. donald trump has not yet conceded and is your newsmax network not prepared to acknowledgejoe biden did win the election, he is the president—elect? biden did win the election, he is the president-elect? yes. and it has been our consistent statement all along on election night when the president was in a very close contest in six states where it is 1% or less, two of the states were half percent in georgia was a quarter of a percent, we said that we should allow the president to contest these legally through recount some of the challenges and he has been doing that and we would accept the state certifications in each case to declare the winner because the race was so close and most of the media did this backin and most of the media did this back in the 2000 elections with al gore and theyjust decided they wanted to anointjoe biden and and we have been we have been sticking with

i am mike emanuel, donald trump spending christmas eve at mara lago is the status of the next round of covid-19 relief remains in limbo, stimulus checks for millions of americans on hold. house republicans voting against the president's demand to increase payments to most americans from $600 to 2000 and since the package is tied to a massive government spending bill a veto could trigger a shutdown. the president is spending the holiday in west palm beach amid a stimulus stalemate. >> reporter: we still do not know whether the president will or will not sign at $900 billion stimulus package, the bill that congress already approved, the president is not happy about this, lawmakers are trying to other disaster with millions of americans wondering if they are going to get a check or not. >> reporter: house democrats tried but failed to approve the latest demand to increase the amount of money some americans would get indirect stimulus payment. >> the american people need to know with certainty that democrats are trying to get them higher stimulus payments. this is christmas eve. >> house r

and those closest to donald trump now departing. bill barr the attorney general over the weekend over the weekend he described as a deposed king ranting. he's not going to be imposed for much longer. this is really extraordinary timing to stop because the tweet from donald trump came almost within seconds of the california state assembly casting its electoral college votes. that putjoe biden over the top as far as this election is concerned. donald trump tweeting and i quote here, just had a very nice meeting with the attorney general bill barr at the attorney general bill barr at the white house, our relationship has been a very good run. i'll come onto that just a has been a very good run. i'll come onto thatjust a 2nd. he has done an outstanding job. he goes on to say the attorney general deputyjoe rosen will become acting attorney general. it is not been a good relationship at all. a toxic relationship at all. a toxic relationship between the two. magically after bill barr said that the justice department magically after bill ba

they were not tears for donald trump's relentless degrading of democracy. no. they were tears for lamar alexander. and the tears came from the place we didn't know tears existed, the eyes of mitch mcconnell. lamar alexander gave his farewell address to the united states senate after 18 years of service, which actually isn't a very long term of service for a senator. it is traditional that senators give a final speech in the final days of their service. when i worked in the united states senate, i went to the senate floor for many of those speeches. some were more eloquent than others. but almost all of them were moving. and i got choked up more than once listening to a senate farewell speech. not today. because mitch mcconnell has destroyed the united states senate as we know it. and lamar alexander did everything he possibly could to help mitch mcconnell destroy the united states senate. lamar alexander was a cabinet member and a governor of tennessee before winning a seat in the senate. you could write a biography of lamar alexander and leave out his senate y

donald trump has none. so i don't understand where their face comes forward with donald trump. on the other hand, when you look at the actions of some of these politicians, especially those in congress who got behind that bogus lawsuit or the seditious 17 toeattorney generals that go behind the attorney general from texas lawsuit, is that they just are trying to survive. they look for publicity stunts, anything to make donald trump happy, to maybe stay out of jail, like the attorney general from texas who is now under investigation by the fbi, or perhaps the state legislator who decided it was a good idea to succeed -- for texas to secede from the nation. he probably wants a better standing with leadership coming into the statehouse. so i find them all false. i find their devoutness to donald trump based in very little, ex set for what helps them. >> so, david french, what do people like you and i do? those a these are not -- i can talk about this and be very angry generally, but these are my friends. these are my loved ones. these are may family members. these have been my fri

over and over it's all about donald trump. i'm glad it's going to end on january 20th, but the message that he sent and the danger of this stuff becoming normal is a very real danger. i think we have to send a message to the american people that none of this is okay. this is not okay. it wasn't okay prior to 2016, and it's not okay right now. we have to make sure we're getting folks in place that can actually push back on this and reset those norms to where they have been prior to 2016 in the trump era so we can actually engage in this rebuilding of our country. >> well, on this day before christmas eve, let's at least remember and thank those servicemembers who are out there around the world keeping america safe regardless of the politics going on at home. congressman, good to see you. thank you for being with us. congressman jason crow of colorado was a former army ranger. >>> up next, speaker pelosi versus donald trump. while americans are hiding from the president's veto threat on covid relief, pelosi is running circles ar

they believe in donald trump and only donald trump. i've called it for a long time, not a republican caucus but republican cult and they will do everything, anything their dear leader says but the disappointing fact of that is we have millions of americans kicked out of their homes that don't know whether they will go for the next meal and these folks are more fired up about political stunt than they are about getting critical relief to americans and unfortunately, our own senator here in pat too m, helping lead the charge with mitch mcconnell. so disappointing. >> yeah, representative from the state of pennsylvania, which we may be hearing about. thanks for the time tonight, sir. >> thank you, ari. >> we have a 30-second break but the fight for georgia and why gingrich is speaking out and we have a special report on lessons learned from the pandemic including what bill gates tried to get trump to learn about even before this virus hit but first, autocrats and we're back in 30 seconds. autocrats and we're back in 30 seconds. >>> donald

their leader, donald trump. and so i vacillate almost on an hourly basis on whether or not the media should give one iota more to the president and his rantings. and there is still security value in understanding what he's saying. you might not give it any coverage on msnbc and they decide to shut it down. but he's messaging the people who will carry out the violence and we need to know that. it better not be a surprise to us. so that sadly still merits coverage because only if a security perspective, we need to know where this journey is headed. >> you know, i mean, bob costa, i grapple the same thing and i think ashley parker hit the nail on the head as to why. trump has become more radicalized and described him turning into the more radicalized outlets so he's having a conversation with his supporters over a news max. ez easier to ignore but probably more dangerous than any other point in his presidentsy. is this not the off-ramps of the republicans that privately called him a scum bag after the access hollyw
