mike. mike: let's start with breaking news of the day, mike, your thoughts on the principals related to gun control, mental health? >> it's a step in the right direction. the fact that this is a bipartisan proposal as the president is describing is encouraging. red flag laws is certainly a step in the right direction. mike: a number of republicans tell me they like the principals but they do want to see actual legislative texts, jeff, your thoughts? >> i don't think we should be taking away second amendment rights. my focus is school safety. i think if we had a secure environment there at robb elementary you wouldn't have had the kind of carnage that we saw. a lot of the shootings were in environments where they were gun free zones. i don't like taking away any kind of rights. i'm concerned of red flag laws. i want to see the text of this before saying i would approve of it or not but i'm leery of anything that doesn't focus on the core issue, that is leaving students without security. the

mike? >> mike: interesting. chad, what about prosecutions connected to the effort to undercut the electoral college results. >> well, the doj wrote to the 1/6 committee. it says the panel is hamstringing possible criminal probes by refusing to provide transcripts of depositions. committee chairman bennie thompson says the committee will cooperate after it completes its work. he also said the committee could yet consider a criminal referral for former president trump. mike? >> chad pergram live on the hill. chad, thanks very much. we have new information tonight about the ambush and the shooter in the deaths of two suburban los angeles police officers tuesday. correspondent jeff paul is in l.a. tonight. hello, jeff. >> yeah, mike. when you watch some of this new security camera footage, it really puts into perspective how violent and chaotic the scene was once officers were arriving on the scene. initially they were called out for a possible stabbing but instead they were met with gunfire. [gunfire] >> now, those

pence, hang mike pence, hang mike pence. >> according to the committee's vice chair, there is one reason that that took place. >> vice president pence understood that his oath of office was more important than his loyalty to donald trump. he did his duty. president trump unequivocally did n. >> so let's remind ourselves what mike pence's role on january 6 was. it was largely procedural. he was required to oversee the vote certification for the 2020 presidential election. that's because the vice president also presides over the u.s. senate. it is a formality, but donald trump claimed mike pence had the power to overturn those results. so let's remind ourselves also what donald trump said just ght before the capitol riot. >> we will have to fight much harder, and mike pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn't, that will be a sad day for our country. >> now, we are going to speak to our correspondent in washington in just a moment, but first of all, let's bring you the latest evidence. it is of a heated phone call between president trum and vice president pence on the

and i actually, i just spoke to mike. i said, mike, that doesn't take courage. what takes courage is to do something. >> i said eclipse. i should have said ellipse. it was an eclipse of democracy. he was attacking pence beyond what we just heard. he was not going to be told no. >> couldn't stop. couldn't stop. and he already knew what pence was going to do. he was standing there saying to supporters, i hope mike pence does the right thing. he knew mike pence was going to certify the election. so, purposely, he was lying to supporters because he knew what pence was going to do. and he was revving them up. that is exactly what he wanted to do. and there's now a picture that i'm assuming will become iconic of somebody giving pence a cell phone. and he was watching the president give that speech. i don't know if it was in real-time or youtube or whatever. him watching the president at some point do that. i believe it was a youtube. pence, mr. loyal, is watching the president lie, knowing what he told the president, knowing that the president called him a wimp and ev

mike. mike: marianne rafferty, starting us off. anyone with information on the four men encouraged to call (804)545-8501. rising inflation and soaring gasoline prices are weighing heavily on the biden administration prompting historically low poll numbers. lucas tomlinson joins me live from the white house with the very latest, hi, lucas. lucas: hi, mike, after president biden fell off bicycle while ride target beach today, today the new york post showed the president on the asphalt with a headline said, quote, joe hits new low, just like the u.s. economy and his approval numbers. not exactly the photo of strength the white house wants to project. that's probably why the president after the incident last night at church came out, spoke -- jumped up and down to show the press and the spectators that he has recovered fully but at fox news top economic adviser acknowledged the pain many americans are feeling in the wallets while trying to sound upbeat. >> we have a stronger and better position to tackle inflation than almost any other

mike was already there. >> by the time we got there mike and his dad, john, were in a room. the detectives were there. and they had her purse on the bed and they had everything laid out. >> mike, the husband, seemed perplexed by the amount of cash on the bed. >> he's like, what in the hell is she doing with all this money? >> given a wad of money like that not taken, robbery was quickly ruled out. >> i requested them to bring another dumpster right now, because we thought maybe bonnie was in a dumpster where they found her purse. >> so you're thinking foul play at this point? >> i'm knowing foul play. >> a woman separated from her purse is a very bad sign. >> right. so we're sitting there crying, hoping they don't bring out a body out of the dumpster. >> but there was no body and no sign of bonnie's car, either. police handed bonnie's purse to mike and advised him it would be best if he just went home. >> the police told him go home, sit by the phone, wait for a car from her, ransom call, an accident call, or whatever it might be. >> homicide detective robbie hinson came on

would do or what mike wouldn't do. our review of text history, um, and frankly just common sense, all, confirmed the vice president's first instinct on that point. there is no justifiable basis to conclude that the vice president has that kind of authority. >> reporter: using witnesses from taped depositions to describe a heated phone call pence had with the former president. >> i remember hearing the word wimp. either he called him a wimp. i don't remember if he said you are a wimp, you will be a wimp. wimp is the word i remember. >> it was a different tone i heard him take with the vice president before. >> i think she was uncomfortable over the fact that there was obviously that type of interaction between the two of them. >> something to the effect this is the world is wrong. i made the wrong decision four or five years ago. >> do you remember what she said? her father called him? >> the p-word. >> pence' former counsel greg jacob testifying that pence exhaustively explored all of his options. >> he with examined e

the fact that vice president mike pence was yards away from a mob yelling "hang mike pence" is truly one of the most disgraceful moments i can think of having been involved in politics and pubc service for 30 years. >>eard taym wnethatrent tmp w te his plan to get mike pence not to certify the election was nutty, that it was illegal, that it could lead to rioters in the streets. do you think there is criminal liability here for president trump or is it all about the court of public opinion? >> i think it is the court of public opinion. but judge michael luttig is one of the most smartest jurists we have had in the u.s.. he is not some left wing activists. he was one of the more conservative members of the circuit court. what i think you heard a today, laura, isnd s a conservae jurists saying that the president's words, deeds, and actions could have been a threat to our democracy. folks should think about this and let that sink in. what would have happened? he said this would he been the worst constitutional crisis since our founding. >> this lawyer, john eastman, somehow got the year

great to be with you, mike. >> i'm mike emanuel. "the story" with martha maccallum starts now. >> martha: good afternoon. i'm martha maccallum. 85% of americans think that the country is going in the wrong track. they see it all around them. signs that the country is just not working the way it should be, that we're not the america that we want to be firing on all cylinders, smoking the competition. all of those things that we took pride in. now it seems that americans are

>> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> a traitor and he deserves to burn with the rest of them. >> it's all escalated after pence -- what happened to pence? >> pence didn't do what we wanted. >> pence voted against trump. >> okay. that's when all this started? >> yup. that's when we marched on the capitol. we've been shot at with rubber bullets, teargassed. >> we just heard that mike pence is not going to reject any fraudulent elector votes. [ crowd booing ] >> traitor! >> boo. >> that's right. you heard it here first. mike pence has betrayed the united states of america. mike pence has betrayed this president, and he has betrayed the people of the united states. we will never, ever forget! >> it's real simple. pence betrayed us. which apparently everybody knew he was going to, and the president mentioned it like five times when he talked. you can go back and watch the president's video. >> this is our capitol. let's be respectful to it. 4 million people coming in so -- >> we love the cops. >> it's only

but i admire mike pence even more -- admired mike pence even more when i heard what he did. he refused to leave the capitol because he wanted to stay with the counting of the ballots. i heard those two judges. this whole thing was riveting. i mean, i could not turn it off. i had to watch the whole thing all the way through. host: you say you admire mike pence. he is, at least in the discussion -- he's at least in the discussion about running in 2024 for the presidency. what do you think happens when he does? do you think there are democrats who would support a mike pence? caller: i hope he does not run because i don't think he's capable. i would rather see anyone else run, but not him. i don't think he's -- he has caused so much problems and he still things he won. host: i am talking about mike pence, wendy. there is discussion about mike pence running in 2024. caller: i would take him. i admire him for sticking up for -- for telling trump, no, i am not going to do what you are telling me to do. it is illegal, it is wrong, and i'm not going to do that. host: rochelle out of

pence and i completely agree that mike pence has the authority to reject electors, why didn't mike pence immediately put out a statement saying, no this is my position? why did he wait until the next day, that one of the attack on the capital was already underway -- >> yes. i mean, he could've said i want everyone in america including those who are coming to washington tomorrow to support me and the president, i want everybody to be under no illusions. i do not have the power to throughout the election results, nor does any individual american as our forefathers said. and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow, and america forever. but i'm not gonna do that. >> i mean, the chief of staff, calls up the trump guy and complains about it. but why don't you just put out the vice presidential statement immediately? >> yes, a very good point. -- >> and they're not showing us every single thing they've obtained and every question and answer with everyone. and maybe, the congressman schiff could tell us that they did have some exchanges about why did the vice president didn't make a statement tha

, but mike did not have the courage to act. bill barr was afraid of certain things and you know what they were. please don't impeach me, don't impeach me, bill barr. what's wrong with being impeached? i got impeached twice. i don't want to be impeached. the election was perfect. it was so good. the election was perfect. the democrats are sitting back saying, there is no way you we are going to impeach this guy. it's terrible. mike was afraid of whatever he was afraid of. as you heard a year and a half ago, mike pence had absolutely no choice but to be a human conveyor belt, even if the votes were fraudulent. they said he had to send the votes, couldn't do anything. i said, well, what happens when you have more votes than you had voters? it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. nothing matters. host: former president trump from friday's faith and freedom coalition conference in nashville. this morning, we are asking your view on the former vice president mike pence. there are the numbers on your screen. dial in. let's hear from joh

looks like you collected the decay, mike. what are you doing now >> yeah, so we have a situation here because obviously you have expiration on those junes coming up next week so you want to keep an eye on that you want to close those before expiration if you can. my strikes were a little different because my timing was different but i rolled them down to the 55, the first out of the money strike in september today. that's what i would be doing with my septembers if you also hold those >> all right there we go. time to take some of your tweets our first fan is asking the xle, this is for tony near its 2014 highs. is it time to take bearish exposure in a pullback or is it too early? what's the best strategy tony, over to you. >> yeah, i'm not in the camp you're going to see a cig significant pullback in xle. as you get towards the 94, $95 range, i would take a more neutral stance looking at selling call credit spreads. >> i'm looking to average on if january 4 call good idea. this for bonawyn >> you know, i like a contrarian ca

>> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> nothing but a traitor, and he deserves to burn with the rest of them. this escalated, after pence -- >> yeah, pence didn't do what we wanted. >> he voted against trump. that's how it all started? >> yes, that's why we're marching to the capitol. we were shot by rubber bullets. >> i'm not going to reject any fraudulent electoral votes! >> boo! >> that's right. mike pence has betrayed the united states of america! >> boo! >> mike pence has betrayed the people of united states, and we will never ever forget. >> yeah! >> it's real simple, pence betrayed us, which apparently, everybody knew he was going to. and the president mentioned it, like five times when he talked. he even, you can go back and watch the president's video. >> [inaudible] formally, people coming in -- a lot of -- [inaudible] >> it's all that matters. >> justice is coming. left as a threat for the vice president on the days where he had been provided presiding over the electoral count. in addition to that footage from

>> bring mike pence! bring mike pence! [ chanting ] >> much of today's testimony centered around john eastman, an attorney whose theory that the vice president had the authority to nullify the election outcome so laughable that donald trump's own aides, allies and closest advisers described dismissing it outright. here's that evidence. >> made clear with mr. meadows about you and the vice president having a different view about the authority on january 6. >> i believe i did. >> did he explit sy or tacetly agree with you or say that makes sense or okay? >> i believe that -- that mark did agree. >> what makes you say that? >> i believe that's what he told me. but as i mentioned i think mark told so many people so many different things that it was not something that i would necessarily accept. that's okay why that's resolved. >> i see. tell me what he told you on this topic. >> you know the vice president doesn't have a broader role. >> communicated to me that pat cipollone thought the idea was nutty and one point confronted

from mike pence? >> certainly, it would be harder without firsthand evidence for mike pence. -- from individuals who were in the room or heard about these conversations that happen. obviously, having mike pence in his testimony would be critical. i don't know if it's entirely necessary. on some of the information is not considered hearsay. some of these people were there, and they heard these things firsthand. again, having mike pence say these things to attest to what happened to him, and what kind of pressure was put to him, would obviously be best. he doesn't seem to be entirely forthcoming. as you say, he could be in front of the january 6th committee testifying before the country and he is not. >> melissa, joan, rick sit tight for a quick minute. we're gonna squeeze in a quick break. on the other side of it -- so the come, most of us know the name rudy giuliani on the role he played. the name that you may not know, john eastman. the attorney at the center of the former presidents effort to overtu

you worked for mike pence. can you imagine what would have happened in 2001 had vice president gore simply said, no, i disagree with what the supreme court has said about the outcome in florida and i will simply declare myself the president. i mean, that is literally what was being asked of mike pence, declare himself vice president again. i want to have our audience listen again to the vice president's team, some of the members of his team, reacting to donald trump then releasing a statement on january 6th lying about mike pence's believes and saying mike pence believed. >> we are shocked and disappointed because whoever had written and put that statement out, it was categorically untrue. >> i was irritated and expressed displeasure that steven could have put out a statement that misrepresented his viewpoint without consultation. >> olivia, talk about the pressure that was on mike pence who was a partisan supporter of donald trump and the pressure he and his staff and his team was under. >> to your point, he w

i hope mike has the courage to do what he has to do. i hope he doesn't listen to the rhinos and the stupid people that he's listening to. >> of course, we all know what happened next. the presidents words i had an effect. president trump supporters became angry. when the vice president issued his public letter, the crowd at the capitol erupted in anger. the rioters who had erected makeshift gallows began chanting, hang mike pence. testimony in our investigation has made clear what the target of the rioters ire was, vice president mike pence. the rioters breached the capitol at 2:13 pm. let's take a look at what's going on at the white house at this time. we received testimony that presents chief of staff mark meadows was notified of the violence at the capitol by 2 pm and, likely earlier. the testimony further establishes that mr. meadows quickly inform the president and that he did so before the president issued his 2:24 pm tweet criticizing vice president pence for not having, quote, courage to do what needed to be done. here's what t

>> yep. >> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> mike pence was truly in danger that day, you know, that wasn't all just rhetorical. the committee members were very clear on that. here's congressman aguilar. >> make no mistake about the fact that the vice-president's life was in danger. a recent court filing by the department of justice explains that a confidential informant from the proud boys told the fbi, the proud boys would have killed mike pence if given a chance. >> did you think, and you've heard those chants so many times, right, al? hang mike pence. and it's not as if you don't take it seriously and don't believe it's real, but did you believe those rioters were being literal? it certainly now appears that they were. >> oh, i've had no doubt about it. i mean there was clearly this concerted effort and to use their own words, it was clear they were being very literal about what they were going to do in their effort to chase down or locate different members of congress who they felt were standing in their way. and in the

hang mike pence! >> at 2:26 p.m. secret service rushed vice president pence down the stairs. >> approximately 40 feet. that's all there was. 40 feet between the vice president and the mob. a confidential informant from the proud boys told the fbi, the proud boys would have killed mike pence if given a chance. >> joining me now is a member of the january 6th select committee, democratic congressman jamie raskin of maryland. he was the lead impeachment manager during the second impeachment. congressman raskin, welcome back to "meet the press." >> delighted to be with you. >> let's just start with what you believe are the most important takeaways from these hearings this past week? >> donald trump knew the lie was a big lie. they used it also as a big shakedown and rip-off of his supporters to keep money rolling in. usually when a campaign is over and someone has lost, it's very difficult to raise money, but they raised more than $200 million based on that lie. and then there's what i'm calling the big joke. the idea th

. >> hang mike pence. hang mike pence. hang mike pence. >> mike pence chose to fulfill his constitutional duty on january 6th. but that has got to make him a hero. well according to far too many people, it does. since that fateful day, pence's decision to avoid a constitutional crisis, has been hailed as brave and heroic, with some even suggesting president biden adorn him with the presidential medal of freedom. now let me be very clear, as clear as i can be, we cannot call mike pence a hero for counting certified electoral votes. why? because if we start lauding peoples heroes for doing what our constitution requires of them, it lowers the standard for what we should expect of them. frankly, mike pence could and should be doing more. and it is not just me saying this, here is what his former aide olivia troye said earlier on msnbc. >> to be honest, i have been wanting my former boss to come forward and speak publicly about this and address it. but i think you can't be half in and half out of the maga movement. and i think

mike pence if given a chance. this witness, from the fbi, affidavit refers to his w one stated that other members of the group talked about things they did that say, and they said that anyone they got their hands on they would have killed, including nancy pelosi. that one further stated that members of the proud boys said that they would have killed mike pence if given a chance. mike pence if given a chance mike pence if given a chance for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.
