when lyou look at michael donal and the fact that his mother beulah may donald had to say michael donald life mattered. he was black and his life mattered. >> justice for travon. the moral anthem, black lives matter came into be in the wake of travon martin's death. when it came to emit till, back in 1955 on behalf of a 14-years-old boy, his black life mattered. in the case of the 16th street baptist church bombings for decades, and the little girls in maine, we were literally saying black girls lives matter. >> early '80s, we have seen the klan numerous times getting away of lynching and acts of violence and no one was held accountable. henry hays is the klans man charged killing michael donald in mobile. he was arrested and for the agreement he was turned over. he wanted a capital murder con v con c conviction. >> chris and i flew out there. in october of 1983, we interviewed tiger together and i was forceful but not abusive. i was direct and painfully ca candid. i was the one that told him in that cell that you got an agreement with the federal government, if you fail to tell the whol

beulah mae donald had to essentially say michael donald's life mattered. he was black and his life mattered. >> the moral anthem, the political cry, black lives matter, came into being in the wake of trayvon martin's death. >> when it came to emmett till back in 1955 on behalf of a 14-year-old boy, maybe till had to say his black life mattered. in the case of the 16th street baptist church bombings, for decades, on behalf of four little girls and a fifth girl who was maimed, we were literally saying black girls' lives matter. >> early '80s, there was not a sense of security that history would not repeat itself. we'd seen the klan numerous times get away with lynchings, get away with brazen acts of violence against blacks to which there were no consequences. no one was ultimately held accountable. >> henry heys is the klansman charged with killing michael donald and hanging the youth's body from a tree near downtown mobile two years ago. >> he was arrested, and per the agreement, he was turned over to chris galanos. he wanted a capital murder conviction. he

and rudy didn't care much about donald trump until rudy needed donald's power of the presidency in order to drum up business. there is no loyalty between the two. rudy will do what rudy needs to do in order to protect himself. what's interesting is where donald turned around and said i never rudy to say that, right? i never directed it. i never. well, where did he learn that word from? he learned it from me when i turned around at my sentencing and i said that i was directed, right, to pay the hush money payment by donald trump. i was directed by him to do it for his benefit. >> let's look at that, michael. >> yeah. >> let's -- let me jump in on that. that's a very important point you raise and there is a connection here, right? mr. giuliani is involved in the very sorted and discredited events around keeping trump in power that led to two impeachments, ukraine and challenging the electors. you were not involved in that stuff, but as you pled to there were a range of offenses. but that was not for your personal benefit. that was work you were doing. as you say, these new york prosecutors

- donald. donald trump. - donald trump is? - yeah, thick skin. he's-- - thick skin? he gets mad if a celebrity makes fun of him on twitter. - he's the real-life tony stark. they should call him president iron man. - well, tony stark gave a shit about science. - (laughs) uh... - of course, you can't be a true superhero without some tragic flaws. - sometimes i don't like what he tweets. - i don't 100% agree with the way the guy talks. - admittedly, his personality is a bit rough around the edges. - if he's doing a good job, why can't you just vote for him? yeah, he's an ass sometimes. - all right, we'll end on that last part. i think it's something we can all agree on. - he is an ass sometimes, but that's him. - that's him, right? ♪ nothing could stop a trump rally. not bad weather, not a looming impeachment trial, not a full-time job as leader of the free world, and definitely not covid-19. even at the height of the pandemic, the trump rallies still drew a crowd, because trump rallies are worth it. just ask anyone who isn't herman cain. besides, there's simple effec

that's the legacy of michael donald. that's the legacy of beulah mae donald. >>> the other pandemic. as covid cases rise, the race to vaccinate americans and return to normal life. but in america, that means more gun violence. >> this has to end. it's a national embarrassment. >> how will the u.s. handle these two u.s. death emergencies? >>> and the biden doctrine. as the president declares an end to america's longest war and other global hot spots, he faces mounting questions

donald. >> my uncle thomas figures and my father michael figures, they worked incredibly, incredibly hard to ensure that justice was served in the criminal case. they both knew that that was not going to be enough. the klan was just as much of a threat as it was before the criminal case. and that's when my father teamed up with the morris ds. >> after law school in 1960 when i got to practicing law, there were a lot of violent acts that we saw in the united states. >> the beating of the freedom riders in birmingham. the violent deaths around mississippi and georgia and alabama and other places. the killing of val alou zoe committed by what people suspected were cln members but very few of them were actually apprehended. i thought to myself if i ever get an opportunity to get on the other side of fighting those that did it, i'd do it in a minute. i decided i'd go down to mobile and watch michael donald's criminal trial. i wanted to know everything i could. >> so following the criminal trial, t

that's donald trump. he denies, denies, denies it, it's a trick that obviously he learned very well at a very young age from roy cohn. >> do you think allen weisselberg has made the connection to cooperate with investigators? >> only if he has half a brain, because allen weisselberg was involved in every single transaction, financial, that related to the trump organization. every penny, not every dollar, every single penny that came into the trump organization and every single penny that went out crossed allen weisselberg's desk. they used to say, you know, donald and allen were like frica and frac. it's not just allen. this is what the southern district did to me as well. they said if i didn't plead guilty, they were filing an 85-page indictment against me that would include me and my wife. and there was no way that i would put him at risk. and they were going to do the same thing with allen weisselberg, and his sons, who both had contact with the trump organization. barry running the rinks, both wallman

donald's attorney. he went there to express his condolences and to offer his help in any way that he could and to let her know that he would not rest until the case was resolved and justice brought for her son. >> my father was one of the first african american students to attend university of alabama's law school, becoming the first black lawyers to be educated in the state of alabama. >> we would go to michael figures' office and talk to him. well, what do you want to do? that was what when was telling my mom. what do you want to do? >> this is something that's understood by all black americans. no matter where you lived or how you lived, you understood that law enforcement had never been created honestly to protect you. it was created in order to protect white america, often from you. >> here stands the tallahatchie county courthouse in mississippi. >> it was a mockery that they made out of it because someone black was bringing someone white to trial. >> this small, sleepy cotton community has been o

prior to donald becoming president, rudy didn't like donald, and donald certainly didn't like rudy. so, do i think rudy will give up donald in a heartbeat? absolutely. he certainly doesn't want to follow my path down into a 36-month sentence for something as innocuous as a hush money payment, right, to a porn star. and i want to state here again, at the direction of and for the benefit of donald j. trump. what's ironic here is the fact that these tactics of the southern district of new york in terms of bullying you into a plea deal were created by rudy giuliani going back 30 years ago, and it's just ironic that the tactics that he created for that office are now going to be employed against him in terms of making him plead guilty and certainly, at the least, turning over information about jared, ivanka, about don junior, about donald himself, about all of these individuals in that garbage can orbit of donald trump. >> and so having lived through this, michael, what is going to happen next for rudy giuliani? >> well, i think he starts to sweat more and hopefully he's taken the stuff

one is that we haven't heard a full throated support of matt gaetz from donald trump and it was donald trump that sowed the seeds of distrust in the media saying maybe my supporters at home, the larger group of conservative reporters won't believe it anyway. >> yeah. the interesting thing about the people around the president, the allies is that they often try and respond in ways that trump would have. they try to use the trump play book. a reason that donald trump was so successful when he was in officer and ran into trouble is that he was president. he had an enormous mega phone. he could appoint the attorney general. the attorney general reported to him. and that gave him power. he could shield information and documents that went to investigators, to congress and such. largely because of that donald trump was sort of able to go into a lot of scandals and come of them with significant political consequences but not real legal consequences. the thing is that those around the president try and act like the president because they see how successful he has been and i don't think there's

it's kinder bueno. >>> beulah mae donald sought justice for her son. in 1963 and in 1981, justice means that we hold organizations like the klan, individuals like those murderers accountable. >> black citizens and other minorities have absolutely no protection, no representation in government. they have been left to the mercy of local officials. >> all the time the investigation was going on, we was really trying to dedicate ourselves to keep that from ever happening again in mobile, alabama. the only way we could do that is try to bring about some change, someone to represent the interests of all the people in the city because before that we didn't have that at all. >> we get talked at. we get talked about. we are stats. we are stereotypes. we are made a mockery of. we are dismissed. nobody ever asked us. nobody ever listens to us. how we rectify generations of gross, gross injustice and how do we do that knowing that if we right those wrongs, it's going to be better for everyone. >> in 1963, the 16th street baptist church, four little girls were kill

the night that michael donald was murdered, we had a card game. we'd go there in henry hayes apartment, and we were drinking beer. and about 12:00, i looked up. tiger had a blue jean-type shirt, long-sleeved, and he was soaked down in blood. i said, i don't know what y'all been doing, but, tiger, you're soaked down in blood. he looked down at his shirt and saw the blood, so he just ripped it off of his self. i said, what y'all been doing? they said they beat up a queer, and they laughed. so i laughed with them. and i said, well, next time y'all do, i want in on it. >> he said, well, he had blood on him. that's the first time that had come out to my knowledge in the investigation. i found another klansman, so i just asked him, where did the blood come from that was on tiger that night? he said, oh, he had a nosebleed. and i'm thinking, sure he did. >> i didn't know there was anybody murdered till the next morning. i never did leave the porch to go to look at the body. but my attitude back then, i thought it was funny. i laughed. it's six times filt

donald's apartment. there was no anger expressed or bitterness, it was you just go out and do what you got to do. we do not have a suspect. >> we do not have a motive. we are gathering facts. >> michael was at his sister's house watching a basketball game. >> michael donald was last seen at 11:00 friday night here. the home of his aunt's. >> at 11:00 p.m. he had some conversation with his sister and he said i have a dollar, i am going to go get a pack of cigarettes and he was headed to the service station a few blocks away. that was the last time he was seen. nobody saw anything. nobody heard anything. we just started investigating everything we could. the midnight shift officers had discovered the body started relating all of the incidents that occurred throughout the night. there was an issue with a taxi driver that would not respond to his dispatchers. he was last reported on her in the avenue. someone burned a small cross at the back of the courthouse downtown during the early part of the night and t

so donald trump doesn't care that's dividing the party. he wants to get everybody behind him and everybody that speaks out against him. he thinks that's the way to move forward. it's a way for him, fund raise, all of that. but it's destroying the republican party. donald trump really doesn't care. >> i want to refer you from the "new york times". i thought this was incredibly interesting, this quote. it speaks also to what joe biden is doing with when it comes to infrastructure and hitting a bipartisan mark here. it resists. it's important the republican party puts donald trump as far into the past as possible said this investor in california who has given million to gop candidates and would annual give to republican lawmakers who voted to impeach mr. trump. hef goes on, if joe biden does not insure major pieces of legislation has bipartisan support, it is he that will bear more support than any republican donors ever could for resurrecting mr. trump's political future and fortune. honestly, it's a quote i don't quite understand, this view

>> well, i always thought of matt gaetz as donald trump's mini-me. he was a member of congress looking to troll on behalf of donald trump. he used to put up press releases any time donald trump said something positive about him. he thought that was big news. so he was really a leader of the trumpiest of the trump members of the house. and, so, he had a future in this, maybe a future on a conservative network, maybe a future leading some of these people in congress more so. but it is quite interesting that the investigation was begun by the trump justice department when trump attorney general bill barr was in george, when bill barr has instituted or told guidances to the justice department to be very careful when it comes to looking at elected officials. so that, you know, again you want to be careful and we should

donald has talked about shakespeare to august wilson. in fact one of our persons, camera persons, pack oh, hooks us up said do a little shakespeare. and he did. >> how about some august wilson? y'all put me on the spot. i am trying to remember. from romeo and juliet, being purged a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes, a madness most discrete, a choking and preserving sweet. a little something-something. >> that's wonderful. you can preach. >> my grandmother, we would always have prayer late at night when i would be coming from the theater with my sister. i would do the psalms and she'd say you's a preacher. no grandma, no thank you. >> you hit on my favorite song, 27. whom shall i fair, lord is the strength of my life. yes, that's something i say every day before i go >> every servi do from those who have passed to life in transition, i begin with 27 psalms. >> yes. >> psalms are songs, poems, also prayers. tell us about the married tethe i could show you the oakland i grew up in. it was so cohesive, i was talking to someone, doing an intervi

donald trump loves controversy. he loves to be on cover of mag magazines, loves to be the center of attention. i think the champion of spirit participation trophy that he got there is just a way to satisfy him. because there are two things for sure that many republicans understand. you cannot get on the wrong side of donald trump because he will take out vendettas against you. he will use social media against you. it had impact your fund-raising. and for those with positions within the party, it could impact your position in the party. more importantly for the future this party we need to work on keeping him on board or his supporters on board and also winning back those that we lost due to his tone and tenor in the white house. that's the key, is growing what he brought to the table but also doing what we can to get those who have turned away. and the key to that is sticking and looking at policies and not people with personalities, such as donald trump. >> anna navarro, alice did -- >> what speaks -- what speaks s

so, are they the party of donald trump? that's the big question. a gaggle of republican heavyweights about to attend a cocktail party tonight at mar-a-lago where former president's going to speak. are they the party of matt gaetz, the embattled republican congressman vowing that he is not going anywhere in a speech at another trump florida property despite sexual misconduct allegations against him. >> i'm built for the battle, and i'm not going anywhere. the smears against me range from distortions of my personal life to wild, and i mean wild, conspiracy theories. >>> are they the party of tucker carlson who all but fully endorsed the white replacement theory this week or are they the party of mitch mcconnell who launched an attack on coca-cola and baseball.

trump, supports donald trump. do you suspect that his influence th wane or continue? >> i think we can see his influence waning and waning fast. he has become a kind of cultural totem, like refusing to wear a mask, like carrying a gun everywhere. it's a way -- saying you're for donald trump is a way of -- people do it to offend people who seem too pie yus or too bossy. but you can see that donald trump's problems, his lack of attention, his laziness, his corruption, those have become real obstacles to his power outside of politics. he's going to have tremendous legal problems. i think it's waning. he also insists everything be about himself. 2022 should be a pretty good republican year. the democrats have the presidency. that usually generates a reaction. the map isfavorable. and they've got all of these gerrymandering opportunities. but donald trump insists the elon must be a referendum on how great he was. he's going to try to assert primary challenges to let's keep talking about me forever. if republicans keep

donald trump is a citizen of florida. it's what is called a diversity suit. the very earliest kind of jurisdiction that congress created back in 1789, very simple lawsuit. and the simplicity of it is part of its great strength. >> and this lawsuit, this same lawsuit is available to at least about 140 capitol police officers who were injured that day. they could file similar lawsuits, similar claims, some of them would be assigned different dollar values by juries if they get to juries. >> right. >> you could have a bankrupting amount of these kinds of lawsuits being filed by just capitol police officers alone. >> right. unless some of the capitol police officers happen to be citizens and residents of florida. which i very much doubt. but all of the others could file suits just like this. and they all seek not only compensation, though they don't glamorize it, but compensation for the harm, plus punitive damages to punish the president for what he did. and to deter future presidents. so these are very standard lawsuits. and i can imagine that the emotional as

. >> he's making a transition from not being not donald trump to being joe biden, and there are soft spots he will have to worry about in the coming months. >> i want to bring in another question about that, because the president is not trying to only win over republicans and democrats, and presidents have to make choices and this president rebuffing liberals that wanted to expand the medicare, and he said let's not create the single payer system, and he's saying let's not get the government into negotiating drug prices, and pushing back against progressives at a time james carville is trying to tell democrats that wokeness is a problem, and he said we came within 42,000 votes of losing, and so let's not have an argument about whether or not we are off key in our messaging. president biden in one way he benefits right now because he's not viewed of idealogical, and is james carville right, are democrats at risk of wondering too far left? >> no, democrats are not at risk of going too far left. right now you have a record number of people, democrats and independents who want to see a r

they're choosing donald trump. donald trump didn't choose any of them. you could take or leave any of them. this affirmative selection of him to be their leader, they have to boost him up. he doesn't have a platform on which to communicate. they're propping him up to continue to lead them. why go out of their way to perpetuate that dysfunctional relationship that now distributes to a domestic violence extremism threat in the country? >> because where do you go? where else during at this point? for normal people, yeah, you would go somewhere else, you would back away from it. kevin mccarthy has been given opportunity after opportunity to set a different course, to raise a different narrative. but the reality, he wants to be speaker of the house, this is the path to take to get there, if the moment should come, donald trump is not going to be there for kevin mccarthy because donald trump will find somebody else more legitimately trumpian than the speaker of the house. these folks put themselves out there for someone that doesn't care about them, would not

the gop is still donald trump's party. the clearest proof of that, it's still finding ways to pay donald trump money. back with us tonight, jason johnson, campaign veteran and journalist. bill krystol, a veteran of the reagan and bush administrations and editor at large of the bulwark. jason, give me your assessment. how much power does donald trump still have over the republican party? >> he has all the power until they can come up with another leader. the people who are the supposed heir apparents of donald trump, josh hawley, ted cruz, desantis, none of them have the charisma or "q" rating or reputation of donald trump. it's not uncommon for the last president from that party to be the party leader. the problem is, he's hated, disgraced, and loathed by a large part of the population. so i don't know why republicans keep going to the same well. but i don't think they have a lot of ideas. and we saw that last fall. they literally had no party platform other than reaffirming their loyalty to donald trump. >> you have a mes

is still donald trump's party, still finding ways to pay donald trump money. a veteran of the reagan and bush administration. great to see you guys. jason, give me your assessment. how much power does donald trump still have over the republican party? he has all of the power until they come up with another leader. josh hawley, ted cruz, none have the charisma or reputation of donald trump. it is not uncommon for the last president from the party to be the party leader. he is disgraced and hated with a large chunk of the population. i don't know why republicans keep going to the same well. i don't think they have a lot of ideas. we saw that last fall. they literally had no party platform other than reaffirming their loyalty to donald trump. they will stick with it as long as they can. what they can't accomplish in the ballot box, trump is the number one way to get it done. >> you have a message with the group that you work with. i want to play just a little bit of it. >> lindsey graham, ron johnson. they are go to mar-a-lago to kiss donald trump's ring. to pled

and that is border problems caused by donald trump. make no mistake, if you have a pulse, whether you make a million dollars a year or $100 a year, i am telling you tonight, your bank account will suffer under joe's proposals and all of biden's radical environmental policies, you will be helping to pay for if at all even possible. let's break it down. now, if passed, high income earners are going to have 40% of their income wiped out by the federal government immediately. they invest that money and capital gains, they will take another bite at the apple. that's not all. 50% more. the corporate tax rate. we are going to go after those greedy corporations. yeah, that tax goes up significantly. but let's be clear what joe is not telling you. large corporations, they are not going to eat joe's tax increase and take the loss. not even a little bit. corporations will do what they always do. they will pass those costs onto you and the consumer, the american people, meaning almost anything you buy, any service you used, will be more expensive.

but donald trump, game of thrones reference here, donald trump is like the mad king. and when the mad king was ended, when the reign of the mad king was ended, it doesn't solve the problem. it actually unleashed a bigger problem. >> exacerbated. >> and rudy giuliani is part of that bigger poison that exists in america today. >> you just said about rudy giuliani what i have been saying since, you know, he came on the scene as it relates to donald trump, and everyone was saying, what happened to america's mayor? i'm like, do you guys remember before 9/11, the rudy giuliani before then? he got this moment. it was awful that it happened, but where he had to step up as mayor, right? what choice did he have? who wasn't going to give him money and funding for what happened in new york? so i completely agree with you. matthew, i got to go. but thank you. it's always a pleasure having you on. one day we can talk about better things, i hope. thank you very much for helping us out. >> you too, man. god bless, don. >> you too. thank you very much. >>> president biden responding t

donald trump is really focused on getting revenge. he has gone after people in his party that are key to actually the republicans taking back the house, the senate and possibly the white house. he's not focused on what's best for the party. donald trump is focused on what's best for him. you ask about the role he's going to play. he's going to go after anyone he thinks wronged him, those who voted to impeach him as well as those vocal about what happened on january 6th. >> a veteran republican fund-raiser in texas told "the new york times" that trump's lingering presence on the political scene is a tremendous complication. that's how this person worded it. why does the party feel obligated to keep him around, particularly because he's the losing candidate? >> donald trump has managed to do something that i don't believe anyone has been able to do in the history of politics. donald trump has actually hijacked the gop, and he doesn't really care about the party, but he has control over the party. it's almost like an abusive relationship

and donald trump, cornered, and donald trump unable to control the flow of information, is donald trump who becomes more radically inept. and -- and unwired. and -- and i think, this is only going to get more unpooled as this goes on. >> donald trump, throughout his life, as you ever reported, has been sued for all sorts of things he's done in business. he always tried to wear the other side down, with increasing legal bills. he is now being sued by two capitol police officers for the injuries they suffered in the attack on the capitol. they are -- if they can survive the procedural challenges that all civil suits face, in order to get to a jury. actually, get it to a jury in washington, d.c. a washington, d.c. is going to be offered the opportunity to visit an unlimited amount of punitive damages on donald trump for the attack on the capitol that injured these police officers. that will -- there are more of these lawsuits coming. i see a world in which he could be bankrupted by the lawsuits that just come out of the attack on the capitol. >> well, the first thing to remember is he coul

we know that donald trump does not e-mail. in order to charge donald trump particularly with tax fraud case and bank fraud, you are going to need a cooperating witness. it is a for sure thing that's what you will need in order to prove any cases against him. that's why weisselberg seems to be a key professional defendant or potential witness. without someone like him, i think it is very hard to make the case against donald trump. >> daniel, thank you so much for your expertise on the working of criminal prosecutions in new york. >> my pleasure, lawrence. >> thank you for having me. >> congressman was in the garden today. ten people were murdered in a super market. >> last month, congress magoose, joins us next. magoose, joins us next. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: try hypnosis... or... quit cold turkey. kidding me?! instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette ♪♪ (car horn) ♪♪ (splash) ♪♪ turn today's dreams into tomo

. >> if donald trump were the 2024 nominee, would you support him? >> i would not. howie: not because he might run but good for ratings, because whether you love him or can't stand the guy, he still has enormous cloud. trump remains in control of the republican party, sizable minority of the population still backs him. maybe that influence will eventually fade, maybe reporters will tire of the provocative statements he mails them instead of tweets. but with joe biden rarely doing interviews or saying much in social media, donald trump is filling a void. i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz? it was was an all of out media friendsia when u.s. intelligence concluded that rush ape military offers bounties to kill american troops in afghanistan. >> and now you know from this reporting on "the new york times" which has since then been confirmed by the wall street journal but not only was russia paying for american soldiers death. >> where is the shock for the american troops? >> the bounties are believed to have resulted in death of several u.s. members in afghanistan.

and it may prove to be bad news for donald trump. now we're learning a lot about what giuliani faces. the feds executed a lawful search warrant, which means a judge determined they have reason to believe that giuliani has evidence of a crime. investigators seizing his phone and other electronics including his laptop and ipad. the building doorman escorted the feds into giuliani's new york city apartment. we know the probe includes alleged crimes regarding the first election plot that got trump impeached back in the day, the og impeachment. it was a sorted and failed effort to get ukraine, a foreign country to meddle in our election by ginning up a fake investigation to attack the bidens. giuliani's talks with a conservative writer who pushed that ukraine dirt, according to "the wall street journal." it probed giuliani's odd attempts to hype that writer who now figures into this probe for pushing ukraine conspiracy theories about democrats. >> the ukrainians brought me substantial evidence of ukrainian collusion. put them all on tape.

>> we thought the bottom was donald trump. we discovered there was more silt and soot below donald trump, which is the base of the republican party. i've said all along donald trump doesn't cause the republican party to become what they were. they became what they were, and donald trump was the result of it, of what they are. i think, you know, what is incredibly amazing for me, i thought for one brief shining moment we could all agree that insurrection at the capitol is bad, defending the constitution is good, but it seems at this point in time there's an element of american society, which what republicans like kevin mccarthy, ted cruz, and the nut from georgia and the nut from colorado, are are responding to. they're responding to a constituency in america, because we're so polarized, because jurisdictions are so divided, because things are jerry mandered, because things don't flow in a way that the mid extreme voter can really fundamentally participate in a general election. they're instigated by those voters. so the cleanu

said donald trump must be held accountable. and it's not like he said it whispering to staff members. he said it on the floor of the united states house of representatives. and he's been backtracking ever since, running down to mar-a-lago, getting his picture with donald trump, kissing up to donald trump, showing just how weak he is as a leader. backing down from protecting -- >> there's no line for him. >> backing down from protecting his own members in the house of representatives. that's just who he is. and republicans, as we said said, as i said yesterday, apparently love following weak leaders. so that's where we are. >> yeah, a lot of republicans said a lot of things in the terror of that day. remember lindsey graham's moment on the floor of senate, he said, i'm out, i'm not doing this anywhere. and then he was back to mar-a-lago as soon as he could be. this strikes me as the height of false equivalency or whataboutism. that overrunning the capital is the same thing as antifa in portland is trarnlgs. as you say, what happ

there are new developments in donald trump's legal battles. "the daily beast" is reporting there are two grand juries issuing subpoenas demanding documents and recordings related to the investigation in georgia. that is the strongest because of the trophy of evidence against trump, and even as trump already faces civil lawsuits from congressional members eric swalwell and bennie thompson for his involvement in inciting the riot on capitol hill new lawsuits have been filed by two capitol police officers for physical and emotional injuries suffered from the riot. the suit accuses trump of, quote, directing assault and battery, aiding and abetting assault and battery, directing intentional inflick shon of emotional arrest. one associate is saying there's about a zero percent chance of criminal liability for the president based on what he said on january 6th and close to the same thing for any civil liability though perhaps they shouldn't write off the lawsuit yet. one brought by a 17-year capitol police officer. the other claims the officer was a

donald trump has a bit of a head start. he has hired a new criminal defense lawyer as the manhattan district attorney has now suspended documents from the former daughter in law of trump's accountant. former manhattan prosecutor and lead counsel to the house during donald trump's first impeachment inquiry, daniel goldman, will join us next. join us next. >>> as we continue to return to classrooms... parents like me want to make sure we're doing it safely. especially in the underserved communities hardest hit by covid. trust me, no one wants to get back to classroom learning more than teachers like me. using common sense safety measures like masks, physical distancing, and proper ventilation. safety is why we're prioritizing vaccinations for educators. because working with our local communities... we will all get through this together, safely. it's okay that you don't want to be first: you aren't. second covid vaccine. it's okay to have questions: everyone deserves answers. i'm wary that there isn't enough information. it's

because only donald trump seems to be doing donald trump. but donald trump is certainly trying to get -- keep his grips on a certain message out there that he cannot do because he's no longer on twitter. >> yeah. we're going to have you continue to follow that institute because that is quite stunning, that revelation. don, since you're the resident voting rights expert, there has been an issue, this headline, the gop's gradual descent into replacement theory and nativist dog whistles. what's the replacement theory? >> so, it's the idea that we did not see this in 1985 but social science knew it was happening. it's the idea that very soon in our lifetimes this country will be a nonmajority white plurality, if you will. the growth energy right now on the gop, of course not all republicans but the loudest segments of republican political leadership is actively trying to prevent that from happening. what you saw on january 6th was a visceral knee-jerk reaction with people trying to install politicians and keep those out of place who would instal

you have used the word in connection with donald trump. how much thought did you give to the consequences of using that word? well, i mean, to be very clear, when we talk about fascism, we're not talking about something, which is in a laboratory somewhere, you know, in some kind of an experiment, we're talking about a current of thought and action, which was very much present in the united states and europe. it didn't win everywhere. it won in some places, but it was present pretty much everywhere. in the 1920s and 1930s, the germans were inspired by the americans, notjust the other way around. fascism is an international trend and it's still with us. now, with mr trump, what i said very specifically was post truth, which is his way of carrying out politics, is pre—fascism. that is to say, if by way of technology and talent, you clear the field of the idea of factuality, you're opening the way for the big lie. and the big lie is the trap that people fall into and leads them to do things like, for example, violently storm a parliament, wh

donald trump is the leader of the republican party. and the energy in the republican party is not with the john danforths and the gentlelady from wyoming, liz cheney. the energy, when you look beyond donald trump, is with people like marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert out of colorado. these are incredibly nonsubstantive people, they're not people of achievement or accomplishment before they got to congress. they got to congress by being willing to say the craziest thing, the loudest, for the longest period of time, and it got them elected. i don't know what you do if you're a republican. i know as a democrat, you need to be prepared for electoral battles with them in 2022 and beyond. i warn democrats, like i do on this program quite regularly, we can enjoy the moment of schadenfreude with the downfall of the republican party, but we should be paying attention to our infrastructure and building and preparing ourselves for the future. >> susan, trump reportedly praised the people who attended his save america rally on january 6 be

donald trump advanced that story line. donald trump also pressed ukrainians for dirt on joe biden. so, this was all part of an attempt to, again, help donald trump absolve russia. it's worth noting, bre left office, donald trump pardoned paul manafort, who had gone to jail without telling all that he knew about president trump in 2016. one of the questions we have going forward is, if rudy giuliani is really in as serious as hot water as it looks right now, what does he know about president trump? if he knows it, will he tell it? >> gloria, this is the second time a personal attorney to donald trump's home and/or possibly office have been raided by the feds. this happened to michael cohen. we all remember that he then ended up cooperating and, in fact, testifying in front of congress about what he knew about donald trump. so, what do we think rudy giuliani's next moves are? >> well, we'll hear pretty quickly. i'm sure he's going to fight this. but the question that i have really is, i know we're all talking about this lobbying violation and i know it's usually not prosecuted, but a
