either looking like donald trump clones, or standing and profile, you know, kind of boyles of donald trump. wow. see, let me tell you this night. i know that you, you take offense to this, but you are very good friend of joe mansion. and i think, i think if he changed parties in ran for ran for president, he would do very well. you know, my mother is a big magic fan. let's just put it that way. i know you just need to have some leadership. some of the lead, who will bring the country together? that being said, i think a lot of republicans are, are looking through 2 lenses. one is, how did you handle coven? and i think that that really does disqualify president trump, and i think a disqualifies my parents. i like both those guys. i supported both of them. but the, the, the mishandling of cove, it is a real blot on both the presidencies of president trump. and i've jo, bye, and so i think if you look at something like that, iran, the santa is really kind of stands out and says, listen, you know exactly the right way. he, he, he did all the things that a republican would want to be hand

what about donald trump? he gave a statement saying he still thinks the election was fraudulent a year wrong. do you think trump's base still believes that oh, of course i think the base things that it's fraudulent. what's unfortunate here is that we haven't been able to have a conversation about how american politics is built upon fraudulent behavior where so and aren't able to participate in the civil democratic process of voting. we're gerrymandering and redistricting, the redrawing of lines where a person can vote for a particular representative gets changed to skewed towards the white and the rich. there are some fundamental issues, not even don't forget the electoral college, which is another way of counting beyond just the popular votes of who wins the election and that these are individuals representing numbers, not necessarily the popular vote numbers themselves. and it's just unfortunate that we can have that conversation about the fundamental flaws in us democracy. and yet we have kind of the show

including donald j trump. donald j trump jr. and your colleague, representative moe brooks in his personal (inaudible) with rudolph giuliani. i know congressman brooks tried to evade service for that for a long time. what is the status of the lawsuit? >> we have a pivotal hearing on january 10th. it is on the presidents motion to dismiss. essentially saying that he is immuned. he is absolutely immunity because he is president. our theory is that there is boundaries to that and that when you insight and aim a mob at the capitol to stop lawmakers from certifying the elections that you are outside the boundaries of your immunity. and so, chris, look, the theory of the case is that donald trump and those others who were there invited the mob to the capital. that is why donald trump was the one who had to tell them to go home. you don't tell someone to go home unless you're invited them there in the first place. and that they must be held accountable. and in the next stage, if we survived this motion, would be depositions and discove

donald trump remains incredibly popular amongst republican-based voters. i'm helping my good friend and west point colleague dave mccormick in pennsylvania run for senate. in the state of pennsylvania amongst republican-based voters donald trump is incredibly, incredibly popular. here in florida, in the state of florida, donald trump is incredibly popular. anywhere you go around the country with republican voters, donald trump is incredibly popular. listen, until he becomes not popular amongst republican voters, there won't be an opening for anybody else. >> well, but the challenge is he didn't win in 2020, even in pennsylvania, you know, he lost your home state. so i just have to wonder -- i've got this -- i have a theory and we will see it play out, republicans are going to keep him around through 2022 because he will be helpful in winning back house seats, getting back the house majority. he is monster fundraiser, he does have a death grip on the party, but i'm going to be curious to see if there starts to be a break after 2022 because if i'm reading th

we had donald trump and we haven't had joe biden. do you have a sense of how she read the trip? you know, the strengths and weaknesses of the american leader? she was dealing with. who does she like the most? well, 1st of all, she reveres america. she, she attributes to america per 2nd chance as, as a, as a free woman. and as a politician because she, she was a scientist only because she had chosen science as a safe place to park her or her brilliant mind. and she is really in and out of the reach of the police state. so she had she had on our wall a picture of a bush, the elder and a reagan who were her cold war heroes. she had a personal, she had great personal report. this may surprise your, your viewers with george w bush and they click and, and that had real time results. they only overlap for 2 years, but, but they continued to be friends. she had a rocky relationship at the beginning with bark obama, although they are much more liked than she and george w bush. they're both cerebral and they're there. they're both people who don't really love politics or politicians. but

they remind the republican voter why they voted for donald trump. why they nominated him, and so you know, because they do so by, by screwing up, you know, by betraying their, their base by not doing what they said they were going to do when they were elected or, you know, went when they ran in their individual races, and that's something very different from like a donald trump who, who love him or hate him. he did. so, you know, it's very to it very typical in our history that we see these pendulum swings in electoral politics. but in the people, after all these years, peter to say, ah, the republican sat down in 2022. is it really gonna matter? you know, joe biden loses in 2024, or whoever they run to replace him because i'm not sure is going to make it isn't really going to matter. not is what gives appeal get, you know, to candidates like bernie sanders and like donald trump, who people view to be authentic. yeah. helen, i mean it's, it's, you know, we go through these cycles who have the mid terms in general and we get, you know, you go round a

do you think democrats, if donald trump runs again, if donald trump wins in 2024, do you think democrats are going to think he was legitimately elected? you got to be kidding me. >> there's no precedent for that. i mean, this is purely in the republican camp. the reality is that even the polls suggested that democrats agree that this was not about democracy. this was about ruining democracy, not protecting it. >> 25% of democrats said violence was acceptable in that poll and 2017, a third of hillary clinton voters said donald trump was not legitimately elected. >> they didn't take the same kind of action. >> exactly. >> absolutely. that is the escalation. if you don't think that's going to happen in 2024, and that we need to be focused on that -- >> we need to be focused on today because this was a year ago and there still has been very little action for the folks who were the masterminds and facilitators of this. we can't move forward without accountability, and this commission and the department of justice and anybody else with authority needs to send a clear message to anybody who's l

chirp, ivanka and donald trump jr. the speech arksz part of the new york investigation into former president donald trump's business practices. what's your understanding of what information prosecutors hope to get here? >> well, this investigation is focusing on the trump organization and the trump executives and how they valued certain property. that includes golf courses and condo buildings so what james office is seeking through the subpoena are documents and testimony from donald trump jr., one of the top executives, one person involved in a number of properties and ivanka trump who was also a senior executive at the company before she joined the white house when trump was president. this comes days after james' office had subpoenaed trump for his testimony and trump use lawyers said they were going to move to quash that pope isa and they are going to move to try to quash those speech arksz as well. eric trump, who is a top official at the company, had already provided testimony for james' civil investigation, but

donald trump, the shameless man at the center of all this remains by far the most popular and the most powerful individual in today's republican party. even though out of office more than a year. not currently running for office, he can still attract and rile up a large crowd as he did at a rally in florence, arizona last week. over at the nation's capitol, most ingratiating supporters in congress elevated to positions of leadership. this last week, colorado republican boebert, never publicly apologized for making up insane islamophobic lies about her colleague elected to serve as the new communications chair of the ultraconservative house freedom caucus. that same caucus now headed by pennsylvania representative scott perry, discussed on the show, is one of the congressional members that the january 6th select committee has formally asked to voluntarily cooperate in its investigation for spreading lies about the election. meanwhile, those who dare stray from the crooked path that today's republican party has paved are immediately blacklisted. think of liz cheney. booted out of her lea

and donald trump jr. get hit with subpoenas from new york's attorney general. what we know about that new development in the fraud investigation surrounding the former president's business empire. >>> plus, she was once a star in silicon valley. now elizabeth holmes could be headed to prison. we'll go over the mixed verdicts handed down in her fraud trial. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. right back. as a professional bull-rider i'm used to taking chances. but when it comes to my insurance i don't. i use liberty mutual, they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. wooo, yeaa, woooooo and, by switching you could even save 665 dollars. hey tex, can someone else get a turn? yeah, hang on, i'm about to break my own record. yeah. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates

but donald trump didn't go into the building himself. they need to be able to connect him in a concrete way that will hold up in court if they are going to make a criminal referral in this case. the other thing they are trying to do, of course, and i think liz cheney made this argument, and so did benny thompson, is even if you can't find the exact criminal statute to make a referral in this case, you can talk about the ethical and moral obligations to intervene. soliz cheney is still trying to recapture the republican party from donald trump. it might seem like an impossible battles, a losing strategy, something that can't be done, but she's out there fighting for it. she's trying to take back her party, her dad's party, in the process of this case f. they do find out that they can prove a criminal referral, they say they will make it. >> you know, i mean, claire, there is no republican party in bed with donald trump. it's a criminal sort of permission structure for donald trump's trampling of the rule of law. liz cheney said so much ye

this is all about d, legitimizing donald trump. d, legitimizing the republican party. and d, legitimizing in advance. the election results that are coming up in november for the mid terms and beyond, including the next presidential election. it's about. but what is going to happen is you're going to have riots in the streets after the republicans when the elections in november, because the media is forcing that they call this the big, the big lie that trump loss. well, you know, another big lie is then that police a hunting down on armed black men in the streets and killing them. that led to many, many ryah's and many, many deaths in 2020. and yet that continues to be sort of the narrative that they're going with on both sides. but as our own reporter packs and just point out, they said business as usual, you and i've had to go to work. we've actually had to deal with weather and other issues that every day americans are having to deal with. and yet, congress has been in the day and they're sort of jess and going on their own little monologues about how great they are,

and every single hour that he's been in office than donald trump, that in his 1st year in office. and it went downhill from there. so the ocean, the basically anybody, anybody with a pulse should be able to beat donald trump 3 years from now. and that's what we're going to find out. you know, the, there are the nation always as concerns. there's always something bad happening. but what you have now is somebody with good faith, a reasonable adam intelligence, and a certain rationale that donald trump completely lacked. who's doing his best to work through these problems, as opposed to the guy who grabs women's, you know what? well, that's the choice that we're going to have. okay, so then if that is the choice app, ask you then allen, why is there such a push right now for this motor, right? spell that they're, they're pushing through congress. what about the past has made people's the voice that be suppressed when congress is controlled by democratic eval, obviously controlled by democrats. where is this motor suppression happening so bad that we have to have new legislation come

lynch pin of the donald trump plans to overturn the results. hours ago the committee sent subpoenas to 14 individuals who gathered dress 14, 2020. the day the electoral college met to seal president joe biden's victory and presented themselves as legitimate electors. in a statement the committee says we believe the individuals we have subpoenaed today have information about how these so-called alternate electors met and who was behind the scheme. we encourage them to cooperate to get answers about january 6th for the american people and help ensure that nothing like that day ever happens again. the committee also making it clear today that these electors played a central role in the effort to toss out the election results. adding this, quote, the so-called alternate electors then transmitted the purported certificates to congress, which multiple people advising former president trump or his campaign used to justify delaying or blocking the sertd if i case of the election during the joint session of congress on january 6, 2021. letters to the in

i'm not a big fan of donald trump, but certainly the bureaucracy sabotaged him. a left right and center, and i know a lot of people are happy about that. but then what, then, what do we have elections for? okay, what, what explain says lunging back and forth. richard. yeah, now your dear, i'm flashing back to old. this is a, in a thesis is work in college feeder. i mean, that's the pendulum swing of politics in america. and to some extent, it has always been like this, right? i mean, we had eisenhower, i wouldn't call them extremely conservative, but right after yes, somebody like good was brought up before. you know, if the are and, you know, and then we go from richard nixon to lindon john, you know, linden johnson next. right. so very different swings. but we have now though, in the modern, oh, modern politics, we have this distorting force, which is the media. and i think if we had it, we could iron it least some of that out if we had on you know, such an honest, national discourse when we add elections. but in the end, what people tell us when we poll is tha

in america. scores of donald trump's associates, past and present, had been subpoenaed by the congressional committee investigating the january 5th attack on the capital. my guest is one of them, jason. mila was a senior adviser to the trump campaign, and remains close to the former president. the joints me from new york. what have the months since the attack revealed about trumpets roll in it? and he's hold over the republican party. jason miller, welcome to complex zone. could be with you more than a 150 people have so far. being interviewed by the house committee investigating the events of january, the 6 you've been summoned to appear for a deposition on december, the 10th, i believe. will you be going and will you corporate with a committee? well, at the moment my attorney is in contact with the counsel and were working something out there are a few details need to be addressed, but to be very direct with folks. i don't have anything to hide. knew absolutely nothing about what was going on january 6 with regard to the protesters of a breach on capitol hill. and quite frankly, i think t

donald trump loves polls, can read polls. i'm sure he saw the poll this past week that said 60% of americans and majority of independents still blame him for what happened on january 6th. so why draw even more attention to it? >> well, yeah. i'm sure that probably was a factor in his thinking. but my guess, you know, donald trump, i mean, i think the bigger factor is probably that networks weren't going to take him live. he wasn't going to make -- you know, the thing he hates most is not making as big a splash as he would like, as he has told the world he is going to make. you remember the worst thing that ever happened to him was that tulsa rally where nobody showed up and everybody got covid. but, you know, look, if they weren't going to take him live, call me cynical, i think that's probably the largest factor in this situation. i take your point that this is the second thing that he's done recently that is a fairly rational political decision. that's not like him. so we'll have to watch. >> well, i think -- well, okay. we

in the matter, so scores of donald trump associates, past and present, have been subpoenaed by the congressional committee investigating the january 6th apart on the calendar. my guest is one of them. jason miller was a senior advisor approval from campaign womens quote, with a former president who joins me from new york complex on 60 minutes on d. w. very want to know will make the german here just been a john love on banning the way. but i'm not even know how to work my own car, and everyone with later holes and everything today. first getting, are you ready to meet the german can join me. rachel stuart on dw dash 32, pacific turkish tv series are soft power and they help spread turkish culture and language banjo a. so you get upset with just so much with ah, pilcher is powerful. it shapes the way we see the worlds and introduces us to new ones. from the movies and the series we were, oh, oh yeah. wow. what was that? the books we meet with the video games. we play the art that. so stop and think a song to the music we listen to. today, the balance of pop coaches power has shifted to reflect to

when you listen to that claim from donald trump, what goes through your mind? >> alex, i say this very seriously last night with that dangerous moment we saw with donald trump. we all suffer from a little outrage fatigue with donald trump. many of us try to ignore him. what he pledged tad last night was pardon people who have been criminally charged including for seditious activity. he also suggested that should there be criminal prosecution brought against him for any matter, either january 6th or related to his business or personal activity, his attempts to influence the election in georgia, people need to immediately protest and cause disruption in the streets. this was a dangerous moment. this was donald trump saying, what you saw on january 6th, i'm willing to do again. in some ways, only republicans can stop him so i would say they're complicit as well. but last night should have rung the bell for a lot of us. he intends to run again and he intends to seek justice. >> there are many who would love to tune out donald trump. just play him out like violin, r

you also spoke about donald trump. i asked them about the, the recent video iranian statements that iran would, would seek revenge against donald trump, for the killing of cassim silly mahdi an armenian commander in iraq. the resident killing, which resulted in iran firing missiles at an american base. he said, this is a matter of principle for robert either. there is an international investigation at court where donald trump answers for his actions, for the murder of because seems will embody, or iran will take matters into its own hands and will seek justice. other was okay, suddenly lot to go through there. thank samara, that was art is more against the at least you had an exclusive in tea there with the reigning president. he was in moscow at the moment in the source. i spoken with the russian president vladimir putin. miguel prince moore reaction or later today. thank you. more at saudis, murray cast? yes. now the west african nation of ghana has completely rejected media reports that it is considering hosting an

and donald trump jr. would get immunity. so instead she's using the sort of back door and trying to get them to testify in the civil process. the other argument they make is this a political investigation, and candidly it is because look at letitia james' own words. she ran for office in 2018 on the number one campaign promise of vote for me, and i'll nail the trumps. i don't think that's a good idea, primarily because it's counterproductive, because it gives trump a way to say this is political. now he's arguing it to try to defeat these subpoenas. >> i've actually been surprised by some of the interviews that she has done and how she speaks about this investigation. how much trouble could ivanka or donald trump jr. be in, in this civil case? >> well, look, obviously the civil case, there's a lower standard than a criminal case. a criminal case, you have to prove your kaz beyond a reasonable doubt. that can involve prison time. a civil case, you only have to prove it by a preponderance of the evidence. t

but about half the current members of the democratic party, when donald trump was president, believed that the legislative filibuster was the essence of the senate. i guess where you stand depends on where you sit. we anticipate, based on what the majority leader said, he is going to try to break the senate , break the legislative filibuster and take some kind of narrow exception. there is no sectioning -- no such thing as a narrow exception. this, in my view, is genuine radicalism. i might add parenthetically, the executive calendar, a separate function of the senate, was historically handled with a simple majority. until the majority leader came to the senate during bush 43. after which, he started routinely filibustering judges. we go back and forth about how to do the executive calendar, the executive calendar is now back to where it w 20 years ago. the legislative calendar is a totally different thing. make no mistake this is genuine radicalism. they want to turn the senate into a house, they want to make it easy to fundamentally change the country. for example. admitting two sta

>> first of all, let's put it out there, this is bad news for donald trump. so in addition to what congresswoman cheney said, a person with knowledge of the investigation has told me the january 6th committee has information from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge. so not just one source, and that these sources describe what the president was saying, doing and not doing during the riot. the source said "there's a collection of people with relevant information." translation? firsthand indicates someone with direct contact or knowledge. it could be someone who is in the room, someone on the phone, someone with direct firsthand information. bottom line, the committee has broken through trump's wall. >> right, and jamie, do you have any indication as to who some of these people might be? >> so we don't know about a lot of people, more than 300 people have testified, but there's one witness who has publicly given a deposition to the committee, that's keith kellogg, former vice president mike pence's national security adviser, who was actually with trump in

the new york attorney general's office subpoenaed both ivanka trump and donald trump jr. today as part of its investigation into the trump organization. the siblings are being asked to testify and hand over documents related to the investigation into whether the trump family business manipulated the value of its properties. the attorney general's office previously issued a subpoena for former president trump. cnn's kara scannel joins us. what are investigators trying to obtain from don junior and ivanka? >> well, jake, we learned in a court filing that the new york attorney general's office has issued subpoenas to donald trump jr. and ivanka trump for documents and testimony as they're looking into whether the trump organization and its executives messed with the valuations for a number of properties that trump and his business owns. those properties include golf courses and office buildings. what we know is that donald trump, you know, had been a longtime employee of the company when his father became president. he became one of the top officers of the company. he also h

it's donald trump. it's donald trump. >> jonathan lemire, i feel like every answer had something to do with owning the libs. >> no question. >> that seems to be the animating principle of a lot of at least the maga portion of the republican party. whether it's online or something that's relatively harmless as a tweet or far more serious or policy in actions or owning the libs seems to be at the core principle here. peter baker, i wanted to get you in on this as well. there does seems to be from kevin mccarthy who certainly measuring the drapes in the speaker's office. it's not a sure thing. he seems to be taking the party and as trump's fashion as possible. he seems to be putting himself in that quarter but what's the alternative here? is there a struggle of the soul of the republican party right now? does mitch mcconnell side have a shock? >> that's a really good question. the very least most republicans even though they are not fans of trump, paying some to his base or if not him. you see a lot of rep

donald trump is still considered the 2024 republican front-runner. what does that suggest about the republican party right now? >> that they have sold their soul to donald trump in getting elected. there is no platform that the former president runs on. he runs on being able to parole primaries, and scaring people, and pay back. and that's all that this is about. people are afraid of not having their jobs. they are -- i can't name one policy that donald trump is loyal to or committed to. so when they have to look in the mirror and they have to get up in the morning, i don't know how they do it, because looking at what happened on january 6th shows a man who will be -- do anything, be desperate. that document leak about the executive order -- i don't know if he asked for it. we don't know if people thought they could get to it. the only redeeming thing is that it appears to have gone nowhere. we will find out more of why he decided -- or if even the former president did see that document. but it should worry everybody. and i can't explain what's going

only donald trump. by the way that point is similar to the one donald trump said at 6:01 p.m. on january 6. just an hour after this ended. when he called them the people who tore apart the capitol quote great patriots and said remember this day forever. to me that's such compelling evidence the rioters did exactly what he wanted and hoped and that quickly deleted tweet from ivanka says a similar thing. >> the congresswoman liz cheney had this to say about the former president 187 minutes of inaction during the insurrection. >> the president could have at any moment walked those very few steps into the briefing room, gone on live tv and told his supporters who were assaulting the capitol to stop. he could have told them to stand down. and go home. and he failed to do so. it's hard to imagine a more significant and more serious dereliction of duty than that. i think that there's absolutely no question that it was a dereliction of duty. and i think one of the things the committee needs to look at as we're looking at legislative purpose is whether we need enhanced penalties for th

trump controls the republican party. the democratic party is increasingly on the other side of everything. and frankly, increasingly not just you, a majority of americans believe the democracy in crisis, but they think that they are fundamental enemy is on the other side of the political out in their own country. and i will tell you that for democracies where that is true, they don't last well for very long. yeah, you're there, there's a new poll that shows the majority of americans expect a similar event to the january 6, right? the happen again soon. and a majority of americans also say that they now do not trust the government state or federal any more. i want to connect that to. to some images, i'm sure you saw the images of motors stranded in a snowstorm. oh, on interstate 95 in northern virginia at the beginning of the week it's a main travel artery in the united states along the eastern seaboard. so people were in their cars for 24 hours. also. they were stranded in an amtrak train. just take a listen to what one

he sees donald trump as his strongest challenger, with the content mentioned of the former president during his last 2 public speeches. but maybe the current president needs to focus on his current job more as it's the present hardships in america, which is causing his own party to doubt his or even his vice presidents chances of reelection. currently, hillary, clint actually seems to be in the perfect position to step back in or at least to those who are pushing her name. but even democrats have to know america is too tired to go through another divisive campaign season like me, 16. and yet, as of now seems to be the path, both parties are wrong. but the reality is, if you think americans are suffering from political fatigue today, just imagine after 3 more years of economic and health instability, even democrats know without passing their election reform bill. their chances of holding on to congress are very slim. maybe the floating of hillary clinton's name is just to appease from now, because after november, democrats know they will need to have a fresh name to reignite excitemen

we have been wrong about donald trump many times before. but right now what i think is good for money and fund raising and financial situation to appear to be running or thinking about running. he's raising millions and millions of dollars. and at this point sort of trump business and campaign are one of the same. elizabeth, thank you very much for being on. happy new year, just ahead, i want to speak with the author of the new book entitled "the steal," the attempt to overturn the 2020 election and the people who stopped it. also, coming up from surging covid cases to crimes in the city, the new mayor takes action on both fronts of his first few days in office. eric adams will be our guest. plus, antonio brown's career is in question and why tom brady is calling for compassion and empathy for the trouble brown received. "morning joe" is back in a moment. received "morning joe" is back in a moment napoleon was born and raised to conquer. but he was just kind of over it, you know. watching prime video he realized he should follow his dreams.

. >> trump won. >> across the country donald trump's allies are still at war to overturn the last election forcing local election officials to revisit the 2020 vote count again and again and again. >> count the legal votes. >> count the legal votes! >> in wisconsin, local republicans have conducted three separate partisan audits in an attempt to prove that joe biden should not be president. no widespread fraud has ever been found. the third review is still ongoing behind closed doors. >> the purpose of this investigation -- >> the man republicans have put in charge is michael gableman. >> the office of special counsel is conducting a full investigation. >> he dodged questions from cnn crews. >> can we talk to you about your investigation. >> yeah, have a good night. >> and even called for the arrest of madison's democratic mayor who refuses to testify in private. >> if it comes down to it and i have to go to jail for democracy, i certainly won't be the first person to have done so. >> the you had a sit likely to cost taxpayers close to $700,000. >> i think this is really about 2022 and 202

oh, from president donald trump speaking at an event in arizona that summer saying sounded much like a campaign speech. the former president blaming bite in for the current current of our situation. same hospitals are hating new record highs. trump also saying he ran twice and one twice, doing even better the 2nd time with 12000000 more votes. so we all knew that joe biden would be not so good, but few could have imagined that he would be such a disaster for this country. what they've done, inflation is the worst has been in 40 years. gas prices are up 50 percent. the grocery shelves, the department store shelves. they are empty. and for more on this and all things politics, we turn to our 360 panel that's welcome. and robert patello, radio host and civil rights attorney and brock, lori, a federal and international attorney. thanks so much for joining us today. gentlemen. license, awesome. and so i just so much with you, what are your thoughts about from arizona rally over the weekend? do you think he's i in another presidential run very much like he's right on it. there will be they
