this is about donald trump. as most thing in donald trump, life has been about donald trump. this isn't. yeah, to answer your budget, of course isn't about all right, let me, let me go to your i don't have that good. is that good? george trump is synonymous with america. america is synonymous with trump. that's an interesting proposition. what do you think, george? it's an absolute disaster. come on with you. any more empirical evidence of that? and then the question, you know, it gets back to what mike was saying, washington about that he sucks. the oxygen out of the room. this again, this is the problem going back to 2015 is that there's no other republican long, big enough to give them a fight. go back to the primary interest. there. people lose, there's the 5th, they're fighting and no one ever stood up to him. he stood there and he made mincemeat out of 15 opponents in the primaries of 2016 till now mitch mcconnell gets you know, winning his pants every time. we feel that trumps people are going to come after him until someone else can come out and say, hey guys, here's

donald trump lied over and over and over again. poisoning our democracy, lighting a fire beneath republican state legislators who immediately launched the most sweep voting suppress efforts in at least 80 years. just a note, how despicable a man is donald trump? he lost an election legitimacy, he can't face that that it's his failure and it's a lie, a big lie and wins so many people with that lie with news media and other commentators who are also lying and they know it. again, donald trump with his despicable lies has lit a fire beneath republican state legislators and they have launched the most sweeping voting suppression efforts in at least, in at least 80 years. more than 250 bills in 43 states were introduced just between the months of january and february that would respect the right to vote. do you want to know how many were introduced during a similar period of time last year, the year before donald trump was telling a big lie, 35. 35 in 2020, more than 250 in 2021. today in june, there have been nearly 400 bills introduce

and then donald trump's own lawyer says, and, of course, later donald trump might be indicted. tim o'brien, donald trump's lawyer putting out there that this is not the end of the story, donald trump might be indicted, seems to be another instance of donald trump's lawyer talks too much. >> and you get the kind of lawyers you pay for, and donald trump has a long history, lawrence, as you know, of stiffing his lawyers. he winds up with some of the counsel he's earned over the years. we will know what this entails when the d.a.'s office files the indictment. i would find it hard to believe that an effort that has taken this much time and the resources the manhattan d.a.'s office ha put into this case, there are lots of people working on it, amounts only to whether or not freebees and apartments are on the tax returns. that may not be the case, but i would doubt that. and i'm sure they'll be strategic about who they're going to indict as they try to move up the food chain in the trump organization. it's pretty remarkable that fischetti is being this declarative and this robust in

- 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

it had nothing to do with donald trump or politics. it was a case involving an alleged russian sex trafficking investigation. and that was how that originated for. >> from the oig report involving bruce ohr. had received much but same information through direct contact with steel, ohr did not advise supervisors on the deputy general about contacts with steele and simp southern about his wife's work for fusion gps or acting as conduit until the office of the deputy attorney general leadership confronted ohr about his activities in late 2017. is that correct? >> i don't know. i mean, i don't have any reason to dispute it. but i just -- i don't know about the internal workings of the doj and i'm not really qualify today pass judgment. i would just add for the sake of completeness that the ig found that he hadn't violated -- he hadn't violated any rules or policies or committed any transgressions, ultimately left with labeling that a lapse in judgment and obviously in hindsight, you know, that's the ig's job, to judge things in hindsight.

just to know how despicable a man is donald trump? he lost the lead on - - election legitimately he creates a lie, a big lie but with the help of news media and other commentators were lying as well and they know it. again, donald trump with his despicable lies let a fire and they have launch the most sweeping voter suppression efforts in at least 80 years. more than 250,000,000,043 states were introduced during the month of january and february that would restrict the right to vote. you want to know how many were introduced in a similar period of time last year? the year before donald trump told the big lie? thirty-five. thirty-five in (202)250-2021. today, in june there have been nearly 400 bills introduced the only thing that change between 2020 and 2021 was donald trump's big lie about massive fraud. and now in states like georgia, iowa, florida, montana they are under the vicious guys of election integrity. the words election integrity are not a guys but the way republican legislatures are using those words are vicious with a fak

and donald trump jr. accepted this without dispute in terms of the papers to be ready for arguments for the end of july. what are you hoping you will be able to learn if you get to that point and you can say here is my list of what i want. >> i mean it is a long list and we'll get to dario friscovery. we want to know what donald trump was saying and thinking and who was was in his ears and part of the decision making. we know he spoke to a number of congressman and senators that day and the violence and the deaths was happening at the capitol. we need to know that. given the republicans' refusal to engage with the january 6th commission, it seems all the more important that we have the ability to ask people questions and look at documents and figure out what was happening that day. >> phillip, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you, erin. >>> next, george p. bush is about to make a major political announcement at this hour. he's the only bush cozying up to trump despite trump's attack on his fath

the mounting stories from the trump white house add to the evidence against donald trump. they raise questions about whether the man tweeting "stop the steal" when he was allowed to tweet, questioning whether he was engaging in enough concrete actions with the requisite mental intent to cross the legal line of trying to steal votes himself. i'm joined now tonight on this story by cornell, the former msnbc analyst, and joan walsh from the nation magazine. i put it that way, joan, because this is serious stuff that you can't just walk away from if you think it was that bad. if you don't and evidence the cuts the other way, and it was sore loser-dom and being a really nasty person but not a criminal, fine. when you look at the mounting evidence, particularly what we're seeing in the man we were told never sends emails, what do you see? >> oh, i see a lot and i see a lot that we have to get to the bottom of. this is not just an isolated phone call with the georgia secretary of state. this is a multipronged assault. we've got mark meadows' chief of staff going to bat, embarrass

we want to go beyond donald trump. and i think the long term impact of the republican party sticking with him this long, is going to face consequences of that decision in the long term. >> jonathan, we saw a consequence last night in new mexico. a special election to fill the seat in the first congressional district. deb haaland seat. she's gone on to the biden cabinet. and the data democrat melanie stands very one, 60.3% of the vote. she had a bigger margin there than joe biden. she had a 24%, 24.6% margin. joe boyden had a 23% margin in that district. deb haaland, just in the lac selection, had only a 16% margin. so the continuation of trump -ism doesn't seem to be helping. >> well that was in urban district, heavily democratic district. i don't think we should read too much into it. the larger point is that this is something the democrats are necessarily going to lose seats in the 2022 midterms because of voter suppression, the normal physics of american politics, the party out of the white house almost always loses

when donald trump was told soldiers cannot shoot and kill americans, donald trump wanted to shoot and wound them, not kill them. shoot them in the lake. now, we don't have time here now to describe how and why that is tactically impossible. the necessary marksmanship to do that exists only in the movies. it would also of course be a crime and unconstitutional and it would certainly be a rude way to treat americans exercising their first amendment rights. today, in an interview with mubarak, michael cohen said any indictment issued this week by the manhattan district attorney will be just the beginning of the story. >> all of the documentation refers back to the boss, more to him by name. if everything in everybody own knowledge the same thing that everything was done at the direction and for the benefit of donald j trump, including when it comes to the taxes, where i believe you will look to throw the accounting firm under the bus, they all are going to then have to come out and defend themselves leaving trump all by himself. and eventually, this is what's going to happen as a direct

this is who donald trump has always been. a man unmoored by morality, principal and any sense of fair play. a man only looking out for himself. so now you know what i mean. if you're not playing close attention, you might think we're talking about 2019 trump. but 2021 trump is actually worse. because it always gets worse with trump. we never find out there's some undemocratic order was less and democratic than we for smidgen. and that's what house judiciary chairman jerry nadler knows and fears. tonight, chairman nadler said quote, my concern at this hour is that the corruption may run deeper than has already been reported. end quote. because it always gets worse with trump. and as this inspector general investigation goes forward, there's a good chance that will learn about more heinous acts committed by trump and his administration. that's the thing about trump. you kind of figure that most of his democracy destroying efforts were done. and they were done out in the open. because so many of them were. apparently, many were

including this donald trump. that is what the "boston globe" editorial board is doing, it is called future-proofing the presidency. it is arguing that allowing him to go unpunished could set a far more dangerous precedent than having trump stand trial. to reform the presidency so the last four years are never repeated, the country must go beyond passing laws. not even the president is above them. this come in the wake of "the new york times" report yesterday revealing that prosecutors subpoenaed apple for data in the accounts of at least two democrats with aides and family members. one was a minor. all told the records of at least a dozen people were seized in 2017 and early 2018 including those of representative adam schiff and eric swalwell in california who said in an interview thursday night his data had been subpoena. we know the trump doj seized phone records of reporters at the "new york times," cnn, the "washington post," imposed a gag order on cnn and the "times." when you put all this together, eric sch

donald trump and i agree with that. that's a fact. i believe he won and we're going to prove it. >> no wonder donald trump believes some of this stuff. >> it's impossible to disentangle the self-interest and delusion that is donald trump. donald trump does absolutely nothing that is not, he does not think is going to help him. he does not care at all about the republican party. and he is beginning this phase of rallies not coincidentally at a time when his principal preoccupation is staying out of jail. he has serious criminal investigations in new york. he would like to depict those as political prosecutions. somehow rallying republicans around the country. and you've got all these hangers on who are -- half of them are kooks and the ones who are not are simply trying to extract money from people who are gullible and trying to advance themselves politically. that includes elected officials. that includes some of the operatives who were trying to get money out of him. and people like mike lindell who are nuts. >> april,

this is how donald trump talked about that incident and mr. weisselberg's role. >> 100% he didn't. >> okay. >> 100%. he's a wonderful guy. it was a very limited, little period of time. >> that was a period of time not to belabor the point, as you accurately said, donald trump did not stand by you, he did publicly stand by mr. weisselberg when it was convenient for both of them. if there's a charge and indictment against weisselberg, what's going to happen in your view, and do you think mr. weisselberg could change his mind? >> absolutely, again, it is distinction between the investigation and indictment, and it is not just the indictment of allen, it is indictment of his sons as well. both of them had involvement with the trump organization, barry as an employee, jack as part of ladder capital, but again, it is not just weisselberg. you have calamari being looked at for the same allegations brought against weisselberg. >> catching people up, former bodyguard and executive who is also according to "the wall street journal" under the same scruti

certainly donald trump was always going to do what was in the best interest of donald trump. and we were always scared by his corrupt instincts. we were spared though, by his incompetence. but just because donald trump is gone, does not mean that corruption and racism and the saudi and bigotry are gone. we still see it manifesting itself in many of the leaders in the republican party, today. and that is why we should take this opportunity to get rid of that doj policy that says no president can be indicted. we should not allow the department of justice to defend donald trump's lawsuit that eugene carroll has brought against him. we should learn from all of the vulnerabilities he expose. the honor code that we thought was in place that would protect us, did not protect us under donald trump. and now it is incumbent upon us to put that honor code and qualify in the rule of law. >> andrew, quickly before we go. what was it like for you to be reading this testimony and revisiting that time when you were working under the fear of don mcgahn actually making that phone call someday,

trump had also become an investigation of obstruction of justice by donald trump because of donald trump's interference with the mueller investigation itself. two years after that subpoena was issued and after fighting the subpoena in court, don mcgahn finally agreed to testify to the house judiciary committee last friday under the condition basically that it not be on tv. so the hearing was held behind closed doors on friday, and the transcript was released today. don mcgahn's new testimony we learn that he was one of the many leakers of information to the news media in the trump white house, and we got new clarity on don mcgahn's personal fear of being charged with a crime by special counsel robert mueller. as the mueller report revealed, donald trump repeatedly discussed firing the attorney general and firing special counsel robert mueller and more than once told don mcgahn to do that, to fire the special counsel. don mcgahn never did make the call to fire robert mueller. one reason was that don mcgahn was afraid of being charged with obstruction of justice himself. question, well, you

this is always been about donald trump, donald trump is always about donald trump and that's what he's continuing. if i were the democrats, i would force every republican right now, do you believe he'll be reinstated. put him back on the ballot. in the swing districts, he is an albatross around the republican party. they're trying to flip the cultural issues our way. i would flip them back and make donald trump the albatross around the republican party. >> he's referring to the talk that president trump, former president trump is telling associates he believes at some level he's going to be reinstated as president, maybe as early as august. >> yes. you hear that talk, you watch the rally last night, george, and then you hear republican leaders in congress say, the problem is liz cheney. it is ridiculous. you wonder what planet they're living on. there is this hope that donald trump will fade away. but that is putting hope above experience. that sounded like a campaign rally to me what i heard last night. and to rahm's point, in 2016, donald trump wants suburbanites and he won independe

president donald j. trump lost the election. they were deceived into believing the presidency had been stolen, their country was threatened. they had come to washington to fight for what they thought was right. >> they feel they're the heroic revolutionary courageous worry -- warriors saving democracy. >> they were wrong. it was all a lie. january 6th was insurrection, dec december guysed as patriotism fed by their members of congress, their television shows, their friends on social media. >> it should have been pre predi predictable. you know, we saw people who had been whipped up into believing an election was being stolen and then being told it would happen straight away. that's the perfect recipe for acts of violent extremism. >> that threat continues to this day driven by lies that threaten our democracy. how did millions believe a network so deep, so vast they would ignite an insurrection to final the answers we have to go into that sea of people. see through their eyes. >> i hate i lost so many friends and i hate my famil

trying to embrace donald trump. >> reporter: absolutely. those of us you and i and colleagues fluent in pence speak is notable that the former vice president distanced himself from donald trump. but what is also notable is that he did it in the glossiest way perhaps possible. to say never see eye to eye is a big chasm coming to pence and trump relations but what he is really doing is making an appeal to those voters that supported them in the trumpbl administration and as candidates before that and will come out of this one way or another. donald trump will assert himself as a candidate or won't but those voters remain and pence is trying to find a way to relate to them at the same time donald trump has been beating him up publicly in his public statements again and again. saying he wished that the former vice president acted differently january 6 with respect to the certification. pence also stood for his constitutional duty and made clear that he feels good about that. but it sort of putting january 6 in a box, disagreement with donald tr

what my 18 years of working with donald trump reveals about him." first question is tony schwarz has revealed he did write or co-write "the art of the deal" he mainly wrote it and talks about how all of the idea of trump as a successful businessman was mostly mythological, it wasn't real. what was real? what was the business -- the business operation that you worked in, did it have substantial finances and to your knowledge, did it pay taxes? >> back when i was working there, the financial resources were trump is one thing and partners in both of the deals that i did initially when i was there, and the financing came through them. as far as the trump organization was concerned it was a haphazard thing, as if it was thrown together. people did and didn't know what they were supposed to do. trump divided people and took hem from getting together and he ran is it like an organizational chart with his name on the top line and everybody else underneath. that's how it was run. >> this is donald trump in 2016 bragging about avoiding taxes. here he is. >> t

both of them were targets of donald trump's. so this is very different, and, you know, it's very clear from looking at all of this and looking at the history is that, you know, donald trump treated the justice department like they were just a part of the trump organization and i think while barr at some points may have tried to keep his distance, there was no getting away from what the president of the united states was demanding. in fact, he fired jeff session because jeff sessions said, you know, i don't work for you. i work for the american people. >> maggie, there are so many different angles to this and it's deeply serious but there is a present and future political angle here, as well. we're talking about the person who facto leader of the republican party in the future but he's more or less the current front runner for the republican nomination for president, too. i'm wondering how you think this will play into republican politics? are they going to all line up behind him at this point? >> i think the answer is yes, john.

guest: not everything that donald trump did was bad. some of the things that donald trump did, they --take the border. the implementation of it was flawed and uncompassionate. then i think joe biden made a mistake coming in, signaling that the border was open again. that borders do not even exist, so we had this rush of people and migrants to the border which led to a humanitarian crisis. even kamala harris is saying, do not come to the border. she is angering some progressives. what we have to do -- i agree. it is bad if joe biden cannot control the border. inflation, crime --a border crisis is not good for joe biden. what --if a country is going to be successful, we need a lot of immigrants and legal immigrants. we need to control our border. you cannot have people coming into your country illegally. you are not a country if you cannot control your border. we need to be humane and compassionate about how we police it. if people are fleeing, we need to have a system to rapidly adjudicate that and determine if they can stay or not. i gu

you become a full-time donald trump stalker and you're not covering joe biden the way you covered donald trump. you are not capable of it. if she stocks trump and gives biden a pass. it just like "the new york times" colleagues, they just all can't seem to quite donald trump. the mob, the media, they miss trump more than anybody else in the country. may be other stalkers at "the new york times," her colleagues, maybe they want to get trump bobbleheads for them so they can put pins in it at night. here's a headline. let's see, trump stalkers at "the new york times" need to return their fake pulitzer. "the new york times" completely botched their russian coverage and they were wrong again and again and again. they spread lie after lie, conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory to you, the american people and it went on for three long years. for example, remember, maggie hagerman, stocking trump. trump jr. was told in an email of russian effort to aid campaign, then ended up being a total misleading story. it failed to explain that the lawyer in the impetus trump tower meeting was tied to g

trump's living hell. 134 days of donald trump living his worst life. in november when joe biden won the election peter marks predicted the final chapter of donald trump's life would be like this. he will never have another good day. loser label will haunt him. the law will pursue him. mental illness will hobble him. his properties will bankrupt him. so far it appears all of those things are coming true. donald trump is a loser being pursued by the law in a manhattan grand jury and grand jury in atlanta investigating possible election interference. donald trump is trying to unload properties where business has collapsed like his washington, d.c. hotel. and the latest evidence that mental illness is hobbling donald trump is contained in this tweet by the "new york times"' maggie haberman. trump has been telling a number of people he is in contact with that he expects he will be reinstated by august. a former crack addict is now taking credit for the idea of trump's august resurrection. mike lindell who sells pillows and is being sued for his lies about t

guest: i believe that joe biden's mandate was, do not be donald trump. it was not, pass a lot of legislation. there are progressives. i do not think that is why joe biden won the presidency. it was a presentation of folks, some of whom voted for donald trump last time. there was a sense in america that donald trump was very chaotic and we needed to return to normalcy. there is this golden opportunity . in some ways, that was a trap for joe biden. success is measured by how much you accomplish and how many points you put on the scoreboard. the problem is that was never joe biden's raison d'etre. i think that joe biden, by virtue of being himself can do that. it is about expectations. success means passing a bunch of legislation. they might be disappointed. lbj and fbi both had overwhelming majority of democrats to work with. joe biden has a very of -- very narrow majority. i think it is time to reset the expectations. i feared for his sake that if his success is measured solely by how much legislation he passes, it might be disappointing. host: call in th

and if donald trump does come back, or somebody like him? mark: the g7 ended after that will be the nato meetings, and that is where the reset will come in, is't it, his approach to nato will be different from trump, and he will be meeting wi presidentrdogan tbegin with, and en vladimir putin. robert: the who, for instance. we are seeing a very different united states sending out vaccines acrosthe world, somethg donald trump may not have done -- -- we will not ever know -- but saturday, pulling out of the w.h.o. was a big step for donald trump a how he was putting america first. joe biden has to say no more to that. mark: indeed. before he even left andrews air force race he was talking about a vaccination for theorld, veryuch a different approach. robert: yeah. donald trump, there was some joking or serious banter going on that he was going to try and buy off governments or corporations and other governments early on in the vaccine search, to try and make sure that americans got theirs first. i think what we're seeing now is that normalizin

donald trump. remember, it was stalker maggie haberman and "the new york times" partisan socialist pacts, won the pulitzer prize in 2018 for the russia collusion coverage which of course turned out to be completely and totally false based on bad sources, bad information, bad journalism, bad writing, and total fake news left wing partisan radical agenda. i will ask again, maggie, when will you admit your mistakes and correct the record, return the fake pulitzer and admit who you are?ll you become a full-time donald trump stalker and you're not covering joe biden the way you covered donald trump. you are not capable of it. she stalks trump and gives biden a pass. it just like "the new york times" colleagues they just all can't seem to quit donald trump. the mob, the media, they miss trump more than anybody else in the country. may be other stalkers at "the new york times," her colleagues, maybe they want to get trump bobbleheads for them so they can put pins in it at night. here's a headline. let's s

they might appoint donald trump. if you were a betting man, what would you say the odds are that donald trump is speaker of the house and second in line for the presidency come january 2023? >> well, i don't think that's going to happen because i don't think republicans are going to win the house in the mid terms in 2022 and part of the reason why is because of conversations like this. the worst thing you can do in an election is give your opponents motivation to show up and vote and turn out and anything hinting at donald trump returning to power will motivate the democratic base so much. i mean, this is the gift that keeps on giving. at this point democrats just let republicans implode upon themselves. the fact that kevin mccarthy has to spend any time answering a question like that because donald trump has put that out into the atmosphere just tells you the ton of problems that they are going to have and it's only going to get worse as donald trump continues to hit the stumps doing those rallies and speaking whate

they like what donald trump represents. his voice can diminish if there is another voice to carry the day. but -- >> but let me ask you about that. david was making the point, and he's absolutely right, you have noem, desantis, any number of others, he mentioned mike pompeo, who all would like to get in there. they're all considering a run for 2024. and as long as donald trump keeps his foot in the field there, they can't. so -- >> they can. they can. there are things that you can do as an aspiring candidate for president. you can go to the north carolina gop dinner or convention and speak. you can get yourself out there, still back the president, but look like you're ready to take on that vacancy should it appear. it's the immediate concern of 2022 that i think we really have to go around. looking at don's point, two things. one, as a political person, i look at it and i say, you know what, it's great, let all these whack-a-doos have primaries at the state level for congressional seats, let them put the most extreme people

vance, which may turn out to be the key to the fate of the trump organization and donald trump. if you remember one thing about this d.a. who will decide trump's fate, remember this. he moves slowly but he will double down in a legal do-over. now, a lot of prosecutors don't like do-overs. if they drop a case, they don't want to lean into bringing it back up again. but when more evidence did emerge about weinstein with possible cases in several parts of the country, d.a. vance did lean back into the case that brought him so much earlier criticism. he became the first prosecutor to indict harvey weinstein by winning the case, which "the new york times" saw as the d.a.'sshot at redemption. >>> the verdict handed down. harvey weinstein found guilty of rape. >> guilty of rape and criminal sexual assault. >> guilty of rape in the third degree. >> harvey weinstein has finally been held accountable for crimes he committed. >> some may have thought that took too long, but that legal do over worked. and the history is relevant to the trump org probe because this probe is also something of

andrew, let's begin with donald trump and william barr. since it may be, it just may be with different language, your view of william barr overlaps now somewhat with donald trump's view of william barr. >> that's a great point, lawrence. you know, there's no honor among thieves. if you worked for donald trump, you knew this day was coming. you know, you don't go to work for him expecting loyalty, and as soon as it's convenient he turns on you. you know, bill barr was notably, for lack of a better term, his henchman or a long time and did things to the justice department that i and others who spent a career there just found heartbreaking. so, you know, this was totally to be expected, and you know, there's not a lot of merit to what donald trump is saying, but, you know, it's not like bill barr -- there's a special place waiting for him in terms of what he did here at the justice department. >> let's go to the two calamaris and so many others in the trump organization, because there's something interesting about watching donald trump attack

"the new york times," the rest of the media mob, and nothing more than green new deal socialist and propagandists, they lie, they push their agenda, they pushed propaganda, misinformation and they pretend to be something that they are not. journalists. they are in fact nothing but modern day version of -- this newspaper is not only a biased, it is corrupt and it is dishonest. in fact, right now, "the new york times" is facing multiple major defamation lawsuits and a pretty amazing decision, the new york supreme court, not an easy place to win a case, they refused to dismiss a lawsuit from project veritas and they have now granted project veritas and james o'keefe discovery. sarah palin's defamation suit against "the new york times," that is still ongoing and that appears headed for trial in july. i can't wait." the times" is also facing a suit from covingto

you can't kind of sort of hug donald trump. if you want to succeed in today's republican party and brian kemp and raffensperger learned this, you've got to give donald trump a full, enthusiastic, full frontal embrace every day. you can't just kind of hug him. he is the party. he's where -- and i think this is so hard for a lot of folks on tv to understand because i still engage with republican voters every day. they adore what they think trump is. they worship him. and so if you're a republican and you want to succeed, you got to get down on your knees every day and embrace donald trump. and it's going to be that way for a while. >> even mike pence, even after he had that speech, he sent out some fund-raising emails that he stands with trump after all of that. >> former congressman joe walsh, thank you. >> president biden will travel to brussels for the nato and u.s. european summit. >> but most eyes are on his long-awaited meeting with vladimir putin next week. this as biden vows in a new op-ed to rally the world's democracy a

donald trump did that. the breaking news of this night is the "new york times" reporting that donald trump's two attorney generals, attorneys general, both pursued investigations in which, quote, prosecutors subpoenaed apple for data from the accounts of at least two democrats on the house intelligence committee aides and family members. one was a minor. all told the records of at least a dozen people tied to the committee were seized in 2017 and early 2018, including those of representative adam b. schiff of california, then the panel's top democrat, now its chairman. two committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry. the justice department secured a gag order on apple that expired this year, according to a person familiar with the inquiry, so lawmakers did not know they were being investigated until apple informed them last month. the investigations began under donald trump's first attorney general, jeff sessions, and were enthusiastically continued by his attorney general, william barr,

president donald j. trump lost the election. they were deceived into believing the presidency has been stolen. their country was threatened. they had come to washington to fight for what they thought was right. >> they feel they're the heroic revolutionary courageous warriors saving democracy. >> reporter: but they were wrong. it was all a lie. january 6th was insurrection disguysed as patriotism wrapped in a trump flag. their president, their members of congress, their tv and radio shows, their friends on social media. >> it should have been predictable. well saw people who had been whipped up into bleefg an election was being stolen. and then they were being told it's going to happen straight-aways. you've got radicalization and mobilization. that's the perfect recipe for acts of violent extremism. >> reporter: that threat continues to this day, driven by lies that endanger our democracy. how did it happen? how did millions of americans come to believe a network of lies so deep, so vast, they would ignite an insurrection. to f

donald trump was on to something, wasn't he, which goes beyond donald trump? and maybe the biden administration isn't going to look at europe and be as convinced that these guys in europe are the absolutely steadfast allies that they need to be. well, here's how i look at this from both perspectives, and this is why i think the summits are so important, despite the challenges america has an despite the challenges that europe has. we desperately need each other. like, whether or not we have challenges with one another�*s policies — and look, i think this defence issue, which is real, gets overstated because here's why we desperately need each other. the big things that are out there that need to be dealt with that had been under—prioritised, what do we think about a rising china? what do we think about how to deal with, regulate emerging technologies from social media to artificial intelligence? what do we think about how to deal with climate change in the world? how are we going to try to mobilise collective action to vaccinate the world so that covid do

so in just the past few days we have learned about donald trump the d.o.j. seizing apple's records, of adam schiff and others. the trump administration waged a months-long secret court battle to get records from my colleagues, cnn's barbara starr. mark meadows sent five emails to the then-acting attorney general trying to pressure him to investigate ridiculous claims of election fraud. we heard new audio of rudy giuliani pressuring ukraine to investigate joe biden. this is all recent. this is all just within the last couple of days, weeks. it's shocking. we thought it was bad. but we didn't even know the half of it. we have a lot more ahead tonight on the story. we will dig in more. and this story is coming as we are also getting some stunning revelations about the january 6th insurrection. that's when those -- look at your screen -- violent trump-supporting rioters stormed the united states capitol trying to stop the certification of the vote. the fbi director christopher wray says virtually none of those rioters were on their radar before the attack. >> as

boris went out of his way to get close to donald trump. he met steve bannon, and brexit pushed for with the election of donald trump. the uk/u.s. alliance transcends leaders. that's a reality. i'm old enough to remember when some of us thought, how are tony blair and george w. bush going to get along because blair and clinton were pals and similar in their outlooks and, perhaps, blair and bush invaded iraq together, sadly. i think there are these personal differences but certainly reliances are so strong they will transcend those differences. boris johnson is a master mover with power. like benjamin netanyahu, he was one of the leaders who early on congratulated biden, didn't indulge in trump's election, and he knows what he has to do to get ahead. boris johnson doesn't stick to principles. he sticks boris johnson's own personal agenda. >> we have a fabulous flash back to 1998. you know where we're going. the dutch documentary crew filmed an oxford union debate in which you debated against boris borison boris johnson. >> just because he's
