donald trump jr. has spent his entire life watching up close just how stupid and incompetence his father's. and so, he knew during that attack on the capitol that his father would have no idea what to do. he also appears to have known that none of the people working for his father knew what to do. and so, donald trump jr. urgently texts mark meadows to tell the white house chief of staff something that donald trump junior believes that the white house chief of staff doesn't understand, and he knows for certain that is why they didn't understand. donald trump junior texts, he's got to condemn this crop asap. the capitol police tweet is not enough. and then, donald trump jr. felt he had to text mark meadows again saying, this is one you go to the mattresses on. they will try to screw his entire legacy on this if it gets worse. for those of you have been wondering who is to put her, donald trump, or donald trump jr., there is no mystery left tonight. asked to put as long trump jr. so obviously is, he is

everyone except donald trump. two weeks ago on the night that sean penn appeared on this program, he also, appeared on sean hannity's show in a remarkable discussion between two people who disagree on everything except ukraine and vladimir putin. in the interview after sean hannity called vladimir putin evil, sean pen said this -- >> but if there is a god, there will be vengeance beyond all possible comprehension. >> donald trump still cannot bring himself to say anything like that. donald trump does not have the moral clarity of sean pen, or sean hannity. when it comes to vladimir putin. two days before, vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine. when he publicly obtained encouragement and the authorization for an invasion in a truly foolish procedure that was televised, donald trump said, quote, there was a television screen, and i said, this is genius. putin declares a big portion of ukraine, of ukraine. putin declares it as independent. oh, that's wonderful. so putin is now saying, it's independent, a large section

a person who might be donald trump. one of the people on trial in washington this week for his part in the insurrection at the capitol is asking the jury to find him not guilty because donald trump made him do it. 38-year-old dustin thompson drove with a friend from columbus ohio, took an uber into washington d.c. on the morning of january 6th, and before long he was in the parliamentarians office where he decided to steal a co-track. he is charged with six counts of obstructing congress joint session to certify the electoral college vote. theft of government property. entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds. disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. disorderly or disruptive conduct and a capitol building. and parading demonstrating or picketing in a capital building. thompson's defense attorney is arguing in court that donald trump quote, authorized this assault. it was a plot, it was a scheme, it was a conspiracy that began at the highest levels of government. donald trump

how do you go from saying that to two weeks later saying you would absolutely support donald trump if he's the republican nominee in 2024? >> well, as a republican leader of the senate it should not be a front page headline i would support the republican nominee for president. >> after you said that about him i think it is astonishing. >> i think i have an obligation to support the nominee of my party. >> is there anything he could do? >> that would mean whoever the nominee is has gone out and earned the nomination. >> okay. but donald trump earned it last time, and i'm just trying to understand, you know, what you say matters. you are a very important voice of this country, you are the leader of your party and you seem to hold two conflicted positions. >> not at all inconsistent. i stand by everything i said on january 6th and everything i said on february the 13th. >> i understand. but what i want to understand, which i haven't heard you address -- >> because i don't get to pick the republican nominee for president. they're elected by the republican voters all over the country. >> i

neither donald trump nor kevin mccarthy have issued any kind of statement, well donald trump has issued one tonight, but the two reportedly did speak today. get this, nbc news reports that mccarthy called trump to repel justice for what he said on the recording. he told trump that he did not actually mean it, and that he was just telling liz cheney what she wanted to hear. according to the washington post, donald trump reportedly told his kevin that he is not upset, in fact he is glad that his kevin had never falter and asked to resign. the post reports that trump interpreted this as a sign of his continued grip on the republican party. according to the post, other house republicans are waiting for marching orders from trump, any kind of smoke single about how he might feel about kevin mccarthy. so they can decide whether to support him for speaker, if republicans win the house in november, or ditch in for a more pro trump member of congress. as i mentioned, the former president has now spoke to the washington journal about the phone call in reporting that just came out. donald trump co

it's it is a lot like donald trump's line in 2016. he's fighting for the forgotten man, and there's a lot of voters especially rural georgia who feel like they're aggrieved to feel like they're being forgotten left behind even though the people in power oftentimes our rule white georgians just like them. you mentioned the desire to turn out the base, you know, that's something that both the democrat sam republicans focus on quite a bit understandably, but it seems sometimes as if democrats are a little more concerned about winning people from outside of their base, maybe independence and even republicans. do you see that at all with the republican party because it seems like these candidates may not be able to be a successful and turning out people who aren't true believers. it's that fair. yet republicans in georgia believe that they can keep that coalition together if they can keep the same coalition that is powered them the office for years in georgia for the last two decades, then they can win they can just turn out their base. th

of turning on donald trump. went on for days after january 6th. i want to listen again as, and we played this many times on the show because we will should ever forget this. this is january 13th on the house floor when kevin mccarthy says this. let's listen to this. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress from mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action. from president trump. except his share of responsibility. quell the brewing unrest. and ensure president elect biden his able to successfully begin his term. >> what happened to that? >> he backed down. because he couldn't stand tall against donald trump. it was all talk and he was more afraid of the mob and security detail took him away from continually sixth. because he was afraid, personally he would lose the ability to one day be speaker and also just like so many others, it's so much easier to shrink against trump than to stand up like liz che

clarence thomas will not recuse himself from a case involving donald trump's conspiracy? to overthrow the presidential election? an illegal scheme that involves clarence thomas's wife and her support of that illegal scam. it seems kind santos agrees with his wife. when she said, quote, there are no rules in war. leading off our discussion tonight, charles blow, columnist for the new york times, and then msnbc political analyst. charles, this is one of those stories that lost the media tension span. and then letting it go, clarence thomas felt totally free to step into a turned out to be a campaign photograph for herschel walker last week. >> absolutely. i would like to remind the audience here of the speech that clarence thomas gave just six months ago in notre dame where he was chastising other members of the court. and they said that they were becoming too political at the time. they said that the court was not off as the leaves dangerous branch, but it could become the most dangerous branch. and it seems to me that when installments was engaged in was a safety net that

donald trump's junior lawyer said this was just an idea donald trump junior was passing along. he isn't the original author of the text. it's still significant given everything we know about the trump campaign that he was passing this information along to the white house chief of staff just two days after the election and before all the votes were tallied. >> ryan, stay with us. this is november 5th. not just. >> you're right. the reason it's so important is it takes away this argument that we heard from some of the people around donald trump. he really thought he had won. he really -- this was a good faith efrt to go through the legal process to try to vinds indicate an election he won. there's no way he could have believed he won on november 5th. even if they did have some evidence of election fraud, which none existed, they wouldn't have had it on november 5th. it goes right to the heart of the intent behind this scheme to steal the election. >> ryan, what are they going to do with these new text messages in. >> it's important to point out where this text message came from.

then i think donald trump and even a little before donald trump, brought some things to the surface, that happened to a lot of people. he was a birther, lou dobbs. he was at the forefront of that movement, questioning who president obama is and where he comes from. of course, all lies there. ending, as kevin williamson points out, with this massive lawsuit. $2.7 billion lawsuit from the voting machine company, smartmatic, where lou dobbs is named as one of three hosts pushing that lie. if you read the last five, six years, the sycofancy, that word doesn't do it justice. it is true dear leader stuff about donald trump, the way he talks about him. not just on a policy level but a personal level. he did it, i guess, to stay close to power and keep the boss happy. the boss in that case being donald trump. got him nowhere. he was a respected host of "money line" all these years turned into a guy who is alone petting his horses, it sounds like. >> it is really sad. this really has a lot of synergy with the political conversation we've been having throughout the show today and with our next

we have heard froml donald trump according to reports we have heard from donald trump. they suggest that he is not willing to go back to twitter. fair suggest that he is not willing to go back to twitter.— suggest that he is not willing to go back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media _ back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media but _ back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media but it _ back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media but it is _ back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media but it is doing i back to twitter. fair enough. yes is on social media but it is doing all i on social media but it is doing all that well. —— he has his own. but with the new leadership, he may be very tempted to take that offer of because he was very hurt when he was banned and is often said that he needs that platform and he should have it, it is his right to be able to speak to people in the way that other world leaders and former world leaders are able to do and there's this ongoing suggestion that twitter�*s freedom of speech pol

hoy lunes una jueza declaró a donald trump por desacato. eso es por no cumplir por la aclaración de documentos comerciales ... en éste se le acusa de manipulación indebida de valores de varios activos inmobiliarios. donald trump tendrá que pagar 10,000 dólares diariamente mientras no cumpla con esta situación >> en otra información, autoridades federales alertan sobre el aumento en extorsiones a migrantes en el borde fronterizo pero también comentan que han visto más casos de secuestros. chantal (nombre inaudible) nos tiene más información >> en lo que va del año el fbi ha logrado rescatar a un total de 30 migrantes secuestrados dentro de la ciudad de el paso. el más reciente rescate siendo de 24 personas a las cuales se les exigía miles de dólares a cambio de su libertad >> esta investigación empezó con una llamada de uno de los 24 >> gracias a la denuncia en 24 horas localizar a la vivienda en donde los migrantes estaban secuestrados. una práctica que hasta hace unos años no se veía en estados unidos >> los secuestros

donald trump didn't need a new company. at a perfectly good job work on my good friend jim jordan i need a new job. we do this from reason and one reason only. we got censored we got canceled. and in some cases people got completely kicked off of all the platforms including the president of the united states. so we had nothing else to do what was left open internet back up to give the american to voice back. what happened today is really incredible. i think if it wasn't for donald trump stepping up and saying i'm scuba my own company i'm to go for the internet back up ice elon musk stepping up to take up one of the pigs and were sick times there has been bicycle the twitter sewer so this is an amazing day a flick of what's happening to truth i we've only been open for just a few days, were adding people just in droves. were already climbing, climbing, climbing. the what were trying to do sean assumed a little different. i think twitter is a global p.r. wire on the internet porch and a look at all the social media companies

in 2020, michigan was ground zero for donald trump's big lie, of a stolen election. trump lost that state, by over 150,000 votes. but, he refused to accept that outcome. instead, trump claimed that democrats stole the election and, he summoned michigan state lawmakers to the white house, trying to convince him of such. trump sent rudy giuliani, on his behalf, to michigan, where he pressed false claims of voter fraud, to the state house oversight committee. you might remember this woman. melissa, who testified that giuliani, that day. take a watch. >> the pole book is completely off. completely off. >> off by 30,000? >> i would say that paul book is off by over 100,000. >> how many registered voters are on there? do you even know the answer to that? >> i'm trying to get to the bottom of this. >> there is zero. >> so, my question, then, is -- >> wait, guess -- what about the turnout rate? 120%? >> we aren't seeing the pull book off by 30,000 votes. >> why did you guys do? take it into something crazy to it? >> of course, there was no fraud. trump lost in michigan, and

so to stay with you and all can't stand donald trump, you could tell. he said democrats can take him out. the problem i see is spinelessness, crowdedness, they're clutching for the ring and, you know, they think they're going to get it. >> right. they're all after this. they all believe they can get trump's blessing. trump's, you know, trump's fickle love will fall and then the day of the vote but the reality of the caucus, the republican caucus, not the republicans we grew up with. it more more nuttier and maga and crazy and stefanik who is very good with trump right now, you know, but you're right, though. she is from the dna of kevin mccarthy, she was a george w. bush person and, you know, now she's sort of like a dress barn jim jordan. this is a totally -- [ laughter ] -- in washington in order to take that job from kevin mccarthy. >> you know, juanita, i see the democrat sitting off on the side while this party dissolves into a hot crazy mess. i mean, there is going to be more tapes that are going to prove that none of these people really believe a

calling on brexit and donald trump's cautionary tales. joining us is the former french ambassador to the united states, also a distinguished fellow with the atlantic council. mr. ambassador, thank you for being with us. what is it for the european union if the president's changed on sunday? what about nato? and for that, the world? >> actually you know, marie le pen in the campaign of 2017, when she was already out against emmanuel macron was in favor of brexit, leaving the european union. when she was understood that it was really impossible with the french voters, she says she wants to stay in the european union but she wants to change it. she wants to transform it into what she calls, an alliance of sovereign nations. in other words, it's brexit without saving it. it's really lee naming the european union. on top of that, as you have said, the links with putin are very strong. and even if she has condemned the invasion of ukraine, of course she was obliged to do it, she has said after the war, she wants david alliance with russia. >> t

that's what we were seeing under donald trump. i think it had a lot to do with the policies he put in place. and it's a story, again, that the press, by and large, refused to tell because they were so posed -- opposed to this president and did not want to present anything he did in a positive light. >> host: yes. so let me get to the substance of the book. you already alluded sort of to the main punchlines of it. i think, you know, i was and the team in the white h house was vy isolate. we didn't see the lack of discussion of these results because we essentially produced a lot of them throughout the administration's term. in particular, if thehe viewers are interested, there's something called the annual report of the council of economic advisers, the economic report of the president, that outlines a lot of the facts that riley, jason is basically discussing which he basically gets to in a much clearer way, i think, than we did sometimes. but it has some of the underlying facts if people are interested. so let me go to the book. i

so far there is no sign that donald trump is angry. he's got a good thing going with kevin mccarthy in terms of the power dynamic. he reference a level of deference that he didn't get from paul ryan, the last republican speaker of the house, and he has been forgiving with people who said bad things about him but who turn and end up being firmly loyal to him. that is going to be the test. and there are several things that we are waiting to hear from donald trump on about how he feels regarding things mccarthy is on tape saying. the first, of course, is mccarthy's suggestion that he would ask trump to resign. the second is a suggestion that mccarthy didn't want to get into questions of pence pardoning trump. that suggests that mccarthy may have thought there was criminal exposure involved beyond simply the question of impeachment and conviction. and then there's the new audio that came out earlier today where mccarthy said trump privately told him he bore some responsibility for the january 6th attack on the capitol. that is not somethin

or is this just more air from donald trump? >> look, donald trump is a serial liar. he is committed to dishonesty. that is why he has a january six. the january 6th committee has help in finding and publishing -- that is why he feels so threatened by the committee. in terms of the leader mccarthy for now, it does seem that trump is at peace with him. but i remind people, trump is somebody who demands absolute loyalty. not to the republican party, not even to his family, but to him. eventually he is going to find an excuse to lash out against leader mccarthy, the way he has against all people around him. so, just a word of caution for kevin mccarthy, who i know well, who have generally had a great relationship with for many years. this is a very difficult situation that he's in right now. >> i feel like he put himself in that situation. so there is no sympathy for me for him. as we revealed recently, don jr.'s was strategizing with mark meadows, ways to keep his -- in power. we know that don jr. is supposed to meet with the january six committee sometime in the upcomi

turning now to donald trump. you just confirmed today that house republican leader kevin mccarthy phoned trump to apologize for his leaked audio, what did you hear about that call? >> well i just heard that it was first reported by, i guess the new york times, from the sound clip, but kevin mccarthy called in and said basically i am sorry this happened, and then tried to assuage president trump like i was just playing along, i was giving lip service to liz cheney, this was not really me from what we understand from some people who have spoken to trump. trump just nodded along, but at the same time the word i heard was steak, it was used by a fellow republican, and that is the way in which donald trump views. him but we did not get to confirm that with donald trump. so i can't say that for certain. >> just this hour, the wall street journal interviewed trump, and he said this about mccarthy. quote, he made a call, i heard the call, i didn't like the call, said mr. trump. but almost immediately as you, know he came

whoever the nominee is, whether donald trump or somebody else, donald trump will be in control of that primary and will be in control where his party goes in 2024. and i think about this, looking back at past presidents, president clinton who i had the privilege to work for in the late 1990s, in 2002, when the speaker's race was up in 2002, president clinton was not involved in that race, he was not involved in deciding who the next speaker of the house was going to be. but here we are, the republicans have to fully rely on donald trump's endorsement to dictate that process. it says quite something about the state of the republican party today. >> yeah. and what kind of position, real quick, does it put kevin mccarthy in as he pursues speaker of the house should republicans take over the house? >> well, he is just completely reliant on donald trump's wins. that is not a position that i envy because as we have seen over time, whether it was his former attorney general jeff sessions, his former righthand man michael cohen, loyalty is a one way street to donald trump. he may like you toda

he, donald trump. those tapes were first aired when my colleague, rachel maddow's program last night. liz cheney denies recording or leaking any recordings from the call so she does not know how "the new york times" reporters had them, have them. there's also this audio, more mccarthy comments from the same call with republican leaders just days after the insurrection, a striking admission from a man who had been one of trump's staunchest defenders for four years. >> i've had it with this guy. what he did is unacceptable. nobody can defend that, and nobody should defend it. >> nobody should defend it. good lord. how quickly the tables turn. in his desperation, in his political calculus to stay alive politically and, i don't know, it sounds like the committee has other questions as well, mccarthy does the opposite of what he articulates on the call. he tells them not to defend trump, and then he does just that, defends trump's actions on the day. he made the pilgrimage down to mar-a-lago a couple weeks

and if you look at it from donald trump's perspective, what donald trump, according to a lot of republicans i've spoken to, what he thinks is, look at what happened. these two men, mccarthy and mcconnell, both kind of flirted with throwing me overboard, but mccarthy is fully in my corner, and mcconnell has said he will support me if he -- if i am the next republican nominee for president. so, i think that's what they're focused on. and listen, to mcconnell's, i don't want to say credit, but most republican senators understand what mitch mcconnell thinks of donald trump. he won't even say the man's name. he won't talk about him. he did obviously vote against impeachment, so when it came time to put a vote to those theories and to those thoughts that he had, he did not do it. so, i think that i -- from what i see, standing here today at the end of april, election day is kind of far away and the next speaker election is very far away, what a lot of republicans i talk to think is that. they think that kevin mccarthy did not ultimately do what he said he was going to do, and furthermore, is the

both of whom took to the floor to call out donald trump. >> there is no question, none. president trump is practically, and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. no question about it. president trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office. we have a criminal justice system in this country, we have civil litigation, and former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. >> he should have immediately denounced the mob, when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action from president trump. except his share of responsibility, quell the brewing unrest, and ensure that president elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. and while those words were these strongest public condemnation we saw of trump from republican leaders after the coup, and they have all largely changed their tone since, for some reason. a new bo

you have donald trump openly attacking him as old crow. a republican senate candidates who are going to be much more loyal to trump if they win the j. d. vance. does he still have that iron fist that he always had? >> i really do think so, mehdi it is remarkable. mitch mcconnell is one of the few republicans who has publicly attacked trump, publicly criticize trump. and he is still in full control of this conference. there are a few handful members who will still maybe vote for someone else. but mcconnell is still fully in control in a lot of these races. mcconnell candidates might actually beat trump candidates and some races. there are supporting the same candidate. mitch mcconnell, i think, is still the hope for a lot of republicans that would like to see the party turn to a more traditional situation on policy, and move away from what you called this personality where everything seems to revolve around donald trump. mcconnell's trying to change that. that battles playing out, but something that donald trump has not been able to do is s

is donald trump going to be allowed back on twitter, for example? i suspect he will because all the news from elon musk says he is pro-free speech and does not want people to be banned from twitter. so huge ramifications for twitter and for politics as well. ross: he talks about making the algorithm behind twitter open source, so that we can all look at how twitter decides what we see. james: he has said that a few times before. most of the social media platforms, we don't know about the algorithms, what kind of behaviors are they encouraging and what are they suppressing? he wants people to know why certain tweets do very well and certain tweets do not. there are conspiracy theories, from the right, that twitter deliberately targets people from the right and that the algorithm is biased against people from the right. so a lot of conservatives are ve happy that he's going to make that algorithm open source. i think that is one the key things, not that elon musk's owns this, we are going to know an awful lot more about some of those decisions that tw

we have 26 states that are voting for donald trump. so he is legitimately sees the presidency, and that could've led to anything from martial law to civil war the riots. who knows where he would've fled. >> i should note, jason miller, there's a bunch of texts on antifa. this is as this is happening saying, call me crazy, but ideas for two tweets for potus. bad apples, likely antifa or other agrees leftist, infiltrated today's peaceful protest over the fraudulent vote. you have marjorie taylor greene and louis gohmert echoing this as this was happening. on the marshall la front, i can tell how much -- would do you make about? how serious where the conversations? when you know about where they were? marjorie taylor greene is not just picking that phrase, incorrectly spelled as it is, out of a hat. >> there was a lot of rambling about martial law within the gop caucus. before january 6th. there were people writing things about how martial law is in fact been invoked multiple times throughout our history. and, if you look at what happened

trump is that donald trump's loyalty has an expired by day. you change his mind, he's gone people under the bus repeatedly. if you get the sense that there is weakness with mccarthy, that he is in fact some kind of loser. if you think the base is turning against him, he could certainly pull his support. watch what happens with the conservative media, watch what happens with the hard-core maga caucus, the marjorie taylor greene's, the medicine hawthorne's, who would like to change the subject to something else when they come back into session next week. >> we are going to get to marjorie taylor greene inches the second, but nicholas, i want to ask you first, is there any political opportunity in all this for the democrats? >> that is certainly one of the central questions looming over what the committee is doing. the final report for this whole investigation could prompt a report by the midterm elections. the goal of the committees to mesquite would happened. the timing of that could have a major political impact, if the former president did br

no one was more critical of donald trump i was more critical of donald trump and covid and the election denial and covid and the election denial and about january the six than may. if you read the columns i wrote, they were incendiary columns, attacking him head on and directly. in the interviews i did, i would say to people, go back and watch them in full, don't believe what people told you on twitter about those interviews. frankly, ifi you on twitter about those interviews. frankly, if i didn't take the club into the room and smashing around ahead for half an hour, it was always going to be, softball. i challenged donald trump a lot in those interviews, much more than narrative has been out of sight. having said that, he was a friend of mine, and i have known him since 2008, i won his celebrity apprentice show, i got to know him and his family, this was a friend of mine who then became an oak readily divisive president of the united states. i was lucky that he gave me interviews on the challenge for me was to then try and park the friendship and do an interview as i do with anybody e

she did the reverse donald trump. trump is a reality star, he is a celebrity first, and is able to convert that into a political campaign. and i think that allowed him to pull this thing off and is very hard to pull off, very hard to replicate, actually. palin won the opposite way. she became a celebrity through politics. she then monetize that, and you can even serve her term. she, left she made a lot of money in the reality show. she became the celebrity figure. nationally go back into politics. and i think was interesting is when you compare her to gates, cawthorn, marjorie taylor greene, these are people getting elected and super safe seats. in deep red seats where they win a primary, and then they run. alaska is a more complicated. it's a statewide election, it's a complicated system. it's interesting best-case of how feasible this model is. >> well, it's also an incredibly important seat. one of the things that most people don't appreciate is that this is a long congressional seats. their only handful of states

you had two members of donald trump's cabinet resign. you'd had three republican governors call for him to step down. the democrats are steaming towards the impeachment resolution that they eventually passed. and what you hear from kevin mccarthy there is clearly actually quite a bit of sympathy with at least the sentiments behind what the democrats are doing if not the exact measures they're taking. i think what we will reveal again and again in this book is the enormous gap between what people like kevin mccarthy will say about donald trump in public and to his face and what they actually think about him. >> and at that moment, they had in their grasp this idea they talked about throughout the trump presidency. even throughout the trump candidacy. how do we get rid of this guy? we detest him, despise him. that's what they say in private. >> yes. >> kevin mccarthy there. if he had moved enough people, ten people, ten house republicans ultimately voted to impeach the second time. if he made that number 30 or 40, if mcconnell had given th

is being evoked by donald trump again? of course not. this is donaldga trump. he's the guy literally last saturday night at a rally in georgia and he called vladimir putin smart. he called him smart while he's literally killing women and children. there's ain connection from january 6th and putin's attack on ukraine. both have the same goal. anti-democracy and install a dictator. and that dictator, in our case, would have been donald trump. and i think, you know, republicans of 2020 should have to answer for donald trump's conduct here, what he's doing over and over, and asking for help. have every republican member of congress answer for it, are you fine with it? are you w pro-putin or are you pro-america? are you pro-trump or are you pro-america? if you're pro-donald trump, you're not pro-american now. we're fighting a proxy war, and donald trump isar giving aid an comfort to our enemy. so, there's no overlap. you're either pro-trump or pro-united states of america. let republicans answer for that on the campaign trail i

donald trump jr. texted ideas on how to overturn the election results to former white house chief of staff mark meadows. let's discuss this now. thank you so much for joining us. i want to get your reaction to that new york times reporting. where do you fall on that debate. would a referral to the department of justice do more harm than good? >> look, i have the january 6th commission has done an extraordinary job. they have deposed or interviewed more than 850 witnesses, collected 75,000 pages of documents and are doing a thorough job to make sure they understand all the facts and circumstances that led to the planning and execution of an attempt to over throw our democratically held election. if they uncover, as i think they have, evidence of criminal wrongdoing that they refer that to the attorney general for consideration, filing of criminal charges. no one in this country is above the law. i think the american people expect the individuals responsible for planning and financing and executing this

donald trump is not charged. i've never had something more make me question the institutions of our nation and our legal system like this case and the fact that donald trump is not charged yet. we're 460 plus days since january 6th and he's not charged and people say we did this for trump during the attack. we saw videos saying we're here for trump. still, doj has to step it up. their investigaing hunter biden. michael cohen said he committed the crimes for trump at the direction of trump. doj hasn't charged him at all. if you're a democrat and your name is hunter biden, they will investigate you. >> paul, last question to you, if you were still prosecuting, could you prosecute a case based on the facts that you know about this attempted coup? >> 100% totally absolutely. i convicted people on less evidence than this. the person who will decide whether people at the top face consequences is merrick garland the attorney general. the january 6th panel suggested there is strong evidence of criminal conduct by donald
