steve schmidt ran john mccain's campaign for president. steve schmidt has always wanted a republican to be president of the united states until donald trump became the republican party's nominee for president. what steve schmidt said today explained everything, everything that republicans try to do to suppress the vote in places like georgia, which we will discuss later in this hour. everything republicans do in support of donald trump's completely frivolous lawsuits about the election. everything republicans do in washington all day long, every day, was explained by steve schmidt in this one searing sentence in the middle of a riveting soliloquy on what the republican party has become. >> the republican party is an organized conspiracy for the purposes of maintaining power for self-interest. >> an organized conspiracy for the purposes of maintaining power. in steve schmidt's analysis, ted cruz is a participant in that organized conspiracy. so ted cruz said yes when donald trump asked him last night if he would be willing to argue the case

schmidt, does something like this concern you? >> it does concern me. anytime that you take a medicine or put anything in a body, there are going to be some risks. but this is a vaccine that has already been widely tested. it's been given -- well, now, since the approval, it's been given to over 100,000 americans. so i don't want to make nothing of these numbers, but the numbers are quite small in the context of those who were either vaccine naated in the trial or subsequently, like me, have been vaccinated. so i think we should keep an eye on this. it didn't slow me down from wanting to get the vaccine, however. >> our country still has some dire moments ahead, but it's nice to kind of take a collective breath and realize where we are. both of you have helped us with that. dr. gregory schmidt, allison weshgs wynes, thank you for the work you do and for talking with us. >> thank you. >> we are keeping a close eye on capitol hill for any new developments on the covid-19 economic relief bill. but even if passed, will it be enough to save small businesses?

joining us now is michael schmidt. he's washington correspondent for the "new york times." he shares a byline on the "times" reporting on this subject tonight. mr. schmidt, thanks for joining us on such a busy night. >> thanks for having me. >> mike, do you -- let me just ask you as this is sort of developing story. do you have any more reporting on the discussions that went into tonight's pardons, why president trump is issuing them now? we do note that he went through the somewhat unusual step of listing alongside the description of the name and description of each person being pardoned, he listed people who supported that pardon, as if to sort of implicate them in his own decision to use this presidential powers to pardon them. do we have any further understanding as to how he came to this list and why now? >> what we're trying to understand at this hour is that how many of these pardons came through the typical justice department process for recommending them. the justice department, if many years, has had this system to ensure that pardons doled out for reasons of grac

a man called harold schmidt. here is how harold schmidt advised the c.d.c. "older populations are whiter. society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already have more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit." level the playing field. that means intentionally causing people's deaths because they are the wrong color. when was the last time you heard someone say something like that out loud in this country? probably not since around 1945. that is when we all agreeded that letting certain people die because of their race was bad public policy. not to mention evil. but suddenly our leaders have forgotten that lesson. like the second world war every happened. in the same "new york times" piece that quotes schmidt, another makes a similar point. an epidemiologists in harvard and here is why he thinks that teachers shouldn't be in the category of the non-healthcare essential workers. "teachers have middle class salaries. are very often white and they have college degrees."

michael schmidt, let's zero in on rudy giuliani in the context of all of this reporting. i want to play what giuliani said in 2013 about a pardon that clinton gave to mark rich, an associate. it has some parallels to pardons of close associates for people you work with if you're the president. let's watch what giuliani had to say then. >> there's no justification for that pardon, and it was a disgrace. and a scandal that should have been pursued more. it was a midnight pardon. he had to do something big to get that pardon. >> so how does that fit into all of these questions we have in we don't know who the person is that's in this very redacted case. and i'm also interested to know what your reporting says about how serious these conversations have been, particularly around giuliani. >> well, i think at the most fundamental level, the problem here for the president is he has treated pardons whimsically. he's looked at who should receive them, and how they should be given. he sort of relied on people that have direct access to him, and he's given them to celebrities and to

schmidt, it's nice to see you. thanks for being here tonight. >> thanks for having me. >> so, mike, can i ask you what advisers the president is talking with this about? is this the sort of thing the white house is handling as the appropriate actions of the president and how this might affect the presidency? or is this the sort of thing the president is calling his buddies and yapping about? >> well, the president will talk to anyone about anything and relies on a range of advisers, lawyers, people inside the white house, people outside the white house, people like chris ruddy who runs a television network. so it's a range of people that the president is always talking to. but specifically on this pardon if he's going to move forward with these pardons, he would have to do it through the white house counsel's office because it's truly the ultimate expression of presidential power to use the pardon, to use the power that legal experts consider to be one of the most sacred ones a president has. even in doing that, gr

not only what michael schmidt was saying. which is that it would eliminate the -- any constitutional protection for self-incrimination in a federal case. think about that for a moment. if he did anything after, future crimes that escaped the pardon, neither he nor his kids would be protected by the privilege against self-incrimination. they'd be forced to testify. >> it also seems to me that if you're worried about new york prosecutors, as he appears to be, it does seem like a weird like drawing a map with an arrow like maybe some crimes here to those prosecutors. if you out of nowhere are like eric trump, come in here, pre-emptive pardon. it seems like you're drawing a road map for local prosecutors if you do that, right? >> who are you talking to, me? >> yes. >> yeah. it's a road map. but it's hardly a road map that he needed to say. right? i mean, they're being investigated because they're being investigated. >> right. >> the pardon is not drawing a circle and saying you know, indict me. they've already been in the mix acc

what's your sense or what's the -- i know michael schmidt has the by line on this. but what's "the times" reporting on this? >> we have what you have, which is court papers that are pretty explosive in terms of what they're alleging and tantalizing in that we have no idea who's behind the redacted names, but it is all coming together again to underscore what we just said, which is that the pardons are going to be a huge story going forward. the president, john, tweeted last night, i think, just before midnight, this is a fake news story. he didn't specifically talking about this. it appeared to be what he was talking about. this is coming from his own justice department. now, we have no idea given that it was unsealed whether this is still an active case, whether this is something that is still an ongoing investigation. but still, it's a remarkable and naked allegation of a pay-to-play scheme. >> it really is. we also learned a fair amount from this interview with attorney general barr by the ap. not just that he admitted that there -- you know, there's nothing that

let's bring into our conversation, steve schmidt and co-founder of the lincoln project. steve, i keep thinking once trump is gone, who is culpable for the fact that 70 million americans don't believe that joe biden won in a free and fair election and it's everybody that waited until right now to speak out and i'm heartened that bill barr today told the a.p. that there is no evidence of fraud anywhere. there is nothing to investigate because there isn't any. but it seems like all of the people that screwed on the arms and legs of frankenstein are now mad that he's a monster. >> for sure. and we watched it happen all through the month of november. a historic month. i think we'll look back on this as one of the most historic months of the last 100 years because it was the month not just that joe biden was elected president, it was the month where american democracy was poisoned intentionally, deliberately with lies. the purpose of it was to snuff out faith and belief in the system in the eyes of the american people to protect donald trump's ego, his feelings, maybe to maint

and "the new york times" washington correspondent and msnbc national security contributor michael schmidt. michael, i'm going to start with you because i just saw that you and maggie haberman posted a new article about half an hour ago on "the new york times" called "a president unhappy, unleashed and unpredictable." and apparently talked to more than a dozen current and former administration officials. some of this most loyal aides, advisers, you write, are deeply concerned. so given everything we've seen loafer the last 24 hours, give us the big picture. what do the people closest to president trump right now think they're dealing with? >> well, i think they're dealing with someone who is not necessarily hearing from all of his aides about the consequences that he could pace for everything. something that came through in the reporting was that earlier in the presidency, when trump was wanting to do something that was either unethical or illegal or potentially problematic to himself, aides would ban together to stop him. but maybe more importantly, they would tell him not, you know, what

let's bring in national security analyst michael schmidt. michael will read some of your and maggie haberman's reporting on this. president trump granted clemency on tuesday to two people who pleaded guilty in the special counsel's russia inquiry, for blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killing of iraqi civilians and three corrupt former republican members of congress. it was a remarkable assertion of pardon power by a president who continues to dispute his loss in the election and might well be followed by other pardons in the week ps befos before he leaves january 20th. mr. trump nullified more of the legal consequences from the investigation into his 2016 campaign which he long labeled a hoax. he granted clemency to contractors whose actions in iraq set off an international uproar and helped turn public opinion further against the war there. and he pardoned three members of his party who had become high-profile examples of public corruption. in this, michael schmidt, in a way, he's admitting certain things were not hoaxes a

also joining us, cofounder of the lincoln project, steve schmidt here. and former u.s. senator, claire mccaskill. just wanted to talk to all of you about this historic day. it's almost too much to process, but -- this step in becoming president usually isn't marked in the way we're marking it, because of donald trump's attack on the democracy. it was in a more fragile state than it usually is on this day. >> you know, today is a day that i'm extremely happy, and i haven't felt really happy for awhile. you know, we've had this man, you know, driving the bus of denial full of republican elected officials off the cliff of democracy now for weeks on end and today, i got to watch live an african-american health care front line worker take the first vaccine. we're going to have our laws hold with the help of judges of both parties, many appointed by trump, across the country saying time and time again, you know, almost, what, 60 times now, that there is no evidence of any kind of fraud. and these electoral votes are going to be cast. my kitchen and house smells like christmas

michael schmidt all over this story for the "new york times." mike, thanks so much. >>> rev, to go back to a point andrew weismann made how ideally these pardons should be used i'm sure you all at the national action network have a long list of cases, of people sitting in jail on minor drug offenses or convicted on sketchy evidence, perhaps. i'm sure you've got a list you'd be happy to provide the white house, if they're handing out pardons like this. so what's your broad reaction, knowing donald trump the way you have for all of these years to these last acts in office he's taking? >> donald trump has really made a mockery of democracy. he's used the fact that he was elected president to continue schemes that are outright criminal, and to cover up those schemes using the pardons that were designed to try to correct things that may have been wrong. and i think we must also keep in mind that he did this while at the same time putting on hold for christmas the people that need some kind of relief during this pandemic. during covid-19. so let's loo

i think it's a shame that election officials, you talked about al schmidt and you talked about secretary ravffensperger and others that are getting death threats online, social media, online, text messages, mail. these are public servants. these are the heroes out there that are doing the work supporting democracy, they are getting death threats for that? it doesn't make any sense to me. i think it's ultimately corrosive. i think we are going to have a hard time recruiting election workers going forward and if we don't have election workers, we are going to have a hard time doing elections. >> you said you have a team of lawyers and you're planning to take advantage of our nation's laws when it comes to that threat. what are they doing? >> well, you know, we are looking and evaluating all of the options available to us and whether it's state or federal and we will talk in court and it's a great crew. >> you are going to take legal action? >> we are taking a look at our options. >> a recent poll says that 3 out of 4 trump voters falsely erroneously and wrongly believe that joe biden only

when steve schmidt says he is a single-issue voter now, and that issue is democracy. that is the one thing that should bring us all together. and at the end of the day, once we've all agreed that democracy is the thing we need to -- to -- to -- to provide for and to protect, we can go our separate ways. and join other political parties. there's no reason we shouldn't have multiple, political parties. there is a good reason why we shouldn't have political parties that are anti-democratic in this country. >> that's exactly right. and thank you so much for having me, tonight. you know, i was one of those people that was holding out hope that, when trump was behind us, when the election was over and he lost, that, maybe, there would be some other republicans, like myself, willing to come out and come together. and try to rebuild on those foundational principles of democracy and individual liberty and freedom. and what we've seen in the last four weeks, postelection, is a party that has clearly made a strategic decision to build their future on attacking democracy. undermi

michael schmidt is joining us now. he has the lead by line on the story. michael, great to have you on the show. thanks for being back. we gave the headlines from your reporting. take us deeper into the players allegedly involved and what they're accused of doing. >> that was a good way of laying it out. i like that graphic. it made a lot of sense. it was helpful. at the most basic level, the problem with this attempted scheme which ultimately didn't turn out in a pardon or clemency for this individual who is seeking it is that donald trump has treated pardons and commutations like white house party favors and gave aways. he has not relied on the normal system that white houses and presidents have to give the pardon policy a veneer of seriousness in a way that it is being used to sort of right the wrongs of justice. he has used his pardon power and -- on celebrities, on people that have special access to the president. and because of that treatment of pardons, the fact that he's talked about them publicly, talked about giving pardons to his associates, tho

michael schmidt, thank you so much for being here. thanks for helping us understand your reporting. >> thanks for having me. >>> all right. we've got much more to get to tonight on this kind of amazing night in the news. donald mcneal, long time award winning science reporter from the "new york times" is joining ahead. e "new york times" is joi ahead. y pepto diarrhea. pepto® diarrhea is proven effective to treat symptoms, and it also targets the cause of diarrhea. the 3 times concentrated liquid formula coats and kills bacteria to relieve diarrhea. while the leading competitor does nothing to kill the bacteria, pepto® diarrhea gets to the source, killing the bad bacteria. so, try pepto® diarrhea, and remember to have it on hand every time you travel. also try pepto®-bismol liquicaps for on-the-go relief. i'll be eating chicken tikka masala with garlic naan.
