a little trouble kinzer not finished with donald trump that donald trump will still remain as a part of the party i do think there will be a struggle as that so who really is there already but i think that we could say for now it is donald trump he was the main there and it wasn't just the. see see pat seep past was the venue but really the world was watching and his critics were watch and democrats were watching the republicans were watching and he has an ability to get the camera get the microphone then the crowd does listen to him like what he says or dislike what he says he was the main event just that cepat but i'd say the main a political event of the week interesting let's take that thought to jennifer do you agree with that. i think jack and i probably disagree on a lot of things but i absolutely agree that it's clear that trump of still the head of the republican party for better or for worse to pound our common work around in this show in the 1st 3 minutes i think that's that's a 1st go on jennifer. yes you know while c. pac you know i think it was a far cry from 1984 when

republicans in name only. >> i've got a trump 2024. trump 2024. trump 2024. >> energy out here, nobody is going to stop it. there went to vote the rinos out. >> i want to say -- want to see him running the party no. reporter: whether the party's presidential standardbearer will be named trump, or which trump, donald, don jr., or ivanka, he did not say. >> would you like to see lve the party? >> he is already the leader. donald j. trump. reporter: what about the other trump's? >> i hope they run for 28. reporter: in his first public address since he left the white house, rejected by voters, trump eased the minds of many republicans with a call to unify the party across the bitter divide he helped create. mr. trump: the republican party is united. the only division is between a handful of washington d.c. establishment political hacks. and everybody else all over the country. i think we have tremendous unity. reporter: that call for unity behind trump is a challenge to those republicans who want to unite the party behind someone else in a post trump

a figure of the donald trump would still need and he seems to be funnily eliminated when donald trump was president mitch mcconnell passed into office by a by the senate about 250 judges transforming our judiciary mitch mcconnell knows the game and if he gets a president on his side he'll play the game if he gets a president opposed to him like biden he'll play the game so i don't think that's the question the bigger question alex is i think we've seen now a true transformation in america the parties are separating and the republican party has a claim still has to be sort of worked on but a claim for working americans a claim for the noninterventionist wing of the republican party that's a new for us right that in the last 25 years republican party has been the party that fought to fight the wars and change the world so donald trump shifted on immigration on china the republican party has a stark set of positions that are different than they were or maybe more solid in a certain sense than they were 4 years ago that's a big change so going forward mitch mcconnell will come in behind w

hi i'm steve clemons and i have a question is former president trump in commanding control of the future of the republican party let's get to the bottom line. every year republicans have a huge get together known as the conservative political action conference c pac as it's known sets the agenda for the most conservative wing of the republican party donald trump attended in 20115 years before running for president ronald reagan spoke at c pac before running to it sort of the republicans got talent show for the next generation of conservative politicians this year was no different you had the assorted conservative senators and members of congress former cabinet secretaries and of course donald trump himself who declared war on the republicans who voted to impeach him last month and help the party we take the senate and the white house you can tell what the republican talking points are by looking at sea packs agenda their immigration guns cancel culture and a fairly new addition this year election integrity the question is do republicans really want donald trump to still be involved in th

trump said the election was stolen and also trump contending that he actually won. i asked josh hawley moments ago whether you have any issues with donald trump's actions at all. he said he's been very consistent he said of the former president, he said he is going to say what he believes. i said don't you have any concerns what donald trump said? he said i don't give him advice. i'm not going to give you my emotional reactions to his quotes. so you're seeing how donald trump still has a hold over the party. and over some of the senators here on capitol hill. the question, too, for joe biden as he tries to fill his cabinet there are some indications that perhaps there is still a possibility of him getting neera tanden confirmed as his budget director. the key senate vote in the senate, republican lisa murkowski, just met with neera tanden and emerged from that meeting undecided how she'll come down in her vote. could have the fate of determining whether joe biden's first nominee will go down. >> great reporting. thanks so much. outfront now democratic congressman ro

trump. those payments were campaign finance felonies and the president's lawyer michael cohen went to prison for them. the payments that cohen made to those women, however, were reimbursed by the president's business as if they were payments to cohen for legal services. depending on how exactly that was done that could be a crime related to keeping fraudulent business records. if those fake legal expenses were deducted on the firm's taxes that could also be tax fraud. cohen then testified to congress, you'll remember that, and he provided some documentation attesting to what he described as a long running scheme by the former president to defraud insurance companies, banks and tax authorities by radically changing the valuation of his various properties to get better loans or better tax deals. and ever since the manhattan da opened his investigation into all of this, michael cohen has been cooperating, even meeting with investigators from prison. and today now that cy vance has all the presi

capitol 8 weeks after it was breached by donald trump supporters house representative sessions have not been charged or canceled for thursday the international criminal court is over to give us to gaze into alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories it says it will take a nonpartisan approach into possible crimes by both israel and the palestinian armed groups. the u.s. has joined israel in opposing the investigation washington says the court doesn't have the jurisdiction because israel is a member of the i.c.c. the united nations says 38 people have been killed and me and daryn the worst day of violence since the start of the military coup witnesses reported seeing the security forces firing into crowds with little warning protesters have been fighting for the freedom of the deposed leader and some suchi since the beginning of last month. the u.s. president says the move by 2 states to ease quote a virus restrictions is a big mistake the governors of texas and mississippi are lifting nearly all measures from next week despite warnings from health officials all businesses can reo

then building this golden statue of trump -- you see trump's spiritual advisor praying over trump's statue. crazy. we talk about keystone pipeline. there were those thousand jobs that were lost. those were temporary jobs.

we learned that from donald trump. if nothing else, i'm struggling to see a real leader of this conservative, quote unquote, moderate alternative to trumpism on the right of american politics. you know, liz cheney, who might have been a potential leader, she said absolutely no way is she going to contemplate breaking away from the mainstream republican party. same from adam kinzinger, who's another well—known moderate republican congressman. you don't have any leaders, do you? well, i would say that we have a number of leaders, but, you know, we're seeing progress... name one that people around the world might have heard of. well, you just named some. i mean, the fact that... yeah, but they say they're categorically not going to leave the republican party. look, we're not requiring that of them, so the fact is that, over the last four years, few republicans would even speak against trump and now you have a contingent in congress who are saying we've got to go in a new direction. and, you know, that includes even memb

it is either president trump or a trump candidate. here's the last one, just so everybody has a good idea, what you think his job approval rating is going to be? would you think? 90%? it was 95% last year. >> [cheering] >> thank you. you made my job really easy. he has a 97% job approval. look at it, nobody in the history of the conservative movement has earned your support the way this president has. look what happened, it has gone up every year. not only do 97% say they approve of this president despite of the fact they are trying to cancel him, more important, they are trying to cancel you. that is what if this is about. you have 87% who say they strongly pursue -- strongly approve. i have been coming to cpac now, i'm to come here in college, that is how long ago. i appreciate it. i can't tell you how much on a personal level, how inspired i am by the people i have talked to over the last couple of days. keep it up, and get ready for president trump. >> [cheering] >> we have one of america's premier posters here -- premier pollster

not to donald trump. he doesn't give a damn about police officers, or else he would have strongly condemned this attack in its strongest terms. these terrorists, using an american flag to brutalize a police officer. these trump terrorists who brutalize a police officer as he lay on the ground being what he thought beaten to death, all he could think of was his father daughters and was wondering how they were going to get by without him. because these terrorists were attacking, beating, brutalizing police officers. >> they had a noose for mike pence. >> they had a noose for mike pence and they went around screaming "hang mike pence." . hugging and kissing police, no. john heilemann. these people, these terrorists, these seditionist, that donald trump last night granted his absolution to, that sprayed bear spray in the face of police officers, one of them dying later on. and again, who tried to crush the head of police officers. right there, that's face of donald trump's terrorist supporters on january the

so the question whether president trump, former president trump, former president trump, can find a place -- i think he can find a place, but whether that is like his recent predecessors at universities or where the public can easily access it, i think he might have a location more like hoover, where it is not connected to an institution or city organization. it is taking hundreds of millions of dollars to build these facilities. if you want the national archives to have a role to play, you have to give 60% of the cost of the part of the building you give to them to the national archives in addition, as an endowment. that is an additional problem. i also think there are questions as to what he will be doing as a former president in 2022, midterms, and 2024. if you build a presidential library, that is the capstone, you are no longer going to be running. there is no president that builds a library while out of office and then runs for office again. i think that's one of the main reasons we have not seen any announcement from the white house, or now the office of former president trump abou

trump didn't say those things. he told the official he thought she would find dishonesty in fulton county ballots and she had the country's most important job. you can't level such a serious accusation against a president with no recording and no transcript without having it absolutely nailed down. when trump says such media mistake seem to run in one direction, he's right. some on the right looked at another piece by the post which had the recording of trump urging georgia's secretary of state to find 11,000 votes. that's the problem with running the unconfirmed report. the unnamed source turns tout be georgia's secretary of state. had this is media buzz. i'm howard kurtz. howie: the horrifying killing of eight people in atlanta area spas, six of them asia american women, sparked a raw and emotional debate about rising discrimination and violence against the community and part of it quickly descended into partisan finger pointing involving donald trump. >> the asian american community has been on edge because of i

trump's doj declined to prosecute secretary wilkie. interior secretary ryan zinke, with an investigation found substantive and serious enough that it was referred to the justice department for criminal prosecution. trump's justice department declined to prosecute secretary zinke. also, trump labor secretary alex acosta, investigated for corruption. the result of the investigation was that the allegations were found to be substantive and serious enough that he was referred to the department of justice for potential criminal prosecution. the trump justice department declined to prosecute him as well. well, now tonight we know that it's four of them, at least. we now know that it was trump transportation secretary elaine chao as well, also referred to the justice department for criminal prosecution. and referred to the trump doj on a very interesting timeline, because they, too, decided that they would not prosecute her. in this letter explaining the actions of their office tonight, the inspector general's office says they started their c

only serves trump trump is a classic thug crat but mr kristol isn't isn't that a bit delimits of. enlightenment as the americans or as you personally understand it today even talk about intentions and nobody in foreign policy cares about intentions if you come and kill my baby or you know my family member al of good intentions i will still hate you i mean like what i care what people in those countries care about is not good intentions which tend to leave the beach tend to pave the road to how but the rather the the outcome of policy is when we talk about the light meant to be really assess based on their policy results rather than policy intentions. i think they both matter and again we can argue all day long about results and we could go through the history of your own country and you could go through the history of united states of great britain in many countries and we can find things that went wrong that went terribly wrong we can even find examples of deliberate corruption but the enlightenment legacy as i say in patriots of 2 nations has its very very good aspects and it's

you are covered trump. for me this is like whiplash going from the trump era to the biden era in a lot of different ways. each of you just tell us personally what it has been like covering trump world and biden world these last few months. >> obviously you are right it's been a whiplash covering trump where he could tweet at 6:15 a.m. and then that sets the course of the day in and with that prolific user. >> we can talk about that after. and with the and orthodox with the unorthodox and predictable presidency and to be stuck in the normal washington way 9:00 a.m. warming up the muscles that are used in congress from when president obama was still in office. and that is what biden is doing. in those big plans or whatnot so it is a return to that obviously there are still several reporting challenges we are facing. for example we are all pressing on the white house it's far beyond the predecessors but certainly there is a big difference at this point. >> i would say just in the last four months i've had more

he led the investigation and prosecution of donald trump in the trump university case. counselor, good to see you. >> thanks for having me, chris. >> what perked up your ears from that interview? >> jennifer weisselberg referred to it very well as a mom and pop organization. we think of the trumps as being a big organization, fifth avenue, new york city, the biggest, the best, whatever, that's the trump facade. it was a very small operation and still is to this day. these things are run by a small group of people who had minute control over every single thing. >> what do you see as the analog, the analogy, from what you learned from trump university to what this larger investigation may look at? >> well, look, it's all going to come down to a lot of the financial records. for our case it was a little different because a lot of the fraud was being done in these seminars, these supposed classes for trump university. so for us to get our hands on the transcripts of those classes was a big deal. but getting the financial records was a big thing. here the misrepresentations

officer while he was running trump's 2016 campaign. trump got him off the hook. because he never squealed! that pardon was late december. in february, again, we saw the fbi suddenly slap a $250,000 reward out there for any information leading to konstantin kilimnick's arrest. now we know, as of today, what was going on behind the scenes in the interim was the intelligence community was concluding that kilimnik was not only involved in the russian effort to interfere with the election in 2016, but to also interfere in the 2020 election to try to get trump reelected. this is it is declassified report that just came out today. quote, we assess that president putin and the russian state authorized and conducted influence operations against the 2020 u.s. presidential election aimed at denigrating president biden and the democratic party, supporting former president trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the united states. quote, we have high confidence in these judgments b

played by the rules but he won the right to spare a thought for a very republican party in the us donald trump lost the last presidential election but he refuses to go quietly or even the thought in fact he still claims against all be evidence that he was my guest this week from washington is jack kingston former republican lawmaker i'm trump advisor why do so many of these parties cling to a bad loser and his big lie and what kind of party is the g.o.p. becoming. jack kingston welcome to conflict zone thank you it's great to be with you who won the presidential election last november and i'm askin you because donald trump still says he won you part of this fantasy. no joe biden one other freight this. one at the all fast through get their people to the polls you know i do think that the court system along the way help them cope and help them and change voting rules but they won and they play by the rules that were there at the time and i did not like the outcome of it but he did win it it's one thing for you to say he didn't win and it's quite another thing for him to say it but also large nu

i mean, that's donald trump. i'd be standing in the back of a speech or a rally and i'd be standing there with stephen miller and i'd be telling him he's off script, he's off script and then slowly but surely, he'd get right back on and then gabe would start scrolling the thing. look, the bigger problem i think for biden is about his speech tonight and you hit on it in your monologue, is based his s presidency on two things. transparency, which is what we were just talking about, him not doing any press briefings, but the other thing was unity. and so far we've got a wre progressive freight train and the fact that he didn't even mention just a little hat tip, a crumb to the previous administration to say you know what, let's give it to them, they did a good job on these -- getting the shots and vaccines put together but he didn't do it. and that's a failure. >> sean: let me pick up on this point. we only have 30 seconds. you know, it could have -- none of this happened under joe's watch. donald trump did all of t

>> trump and his supporters. and anybody that has -- that when i listen to them talk they don't turn my stomach with the disingenuousness. >> reporter: so obviously you hear a lot of conspiracy theories there, conspiracy theories about the insurrection. conspiracy theories including some qanon conspiracy theoriesch it was interesting though we did see some qanon flags although some trump supporters didn't want anything to do with that conspiracy theory. but what was also quite interesting was speaking to so many of those supporters here, so many of them were just so happy to be hearing from trump again. they very much feel like they're part of something, this era of populism trump promotes. some of them told us since he's been out of office and they've been unable to read his tweets, they've been quite bored. >> i think someone else you spoke to said they felt loss, they're looking for direction from him. and for mum more on cpac and the fall out from trump's speech let's bring in cnn political dhen co commentato

and it flowed during the trump years. and, god willing, we're done with the trump years. but i don't think anybody who is concerned about the future of democracy, the future of our prosperity, the future of what has made us a more perfect union, can afford to rest >> all right, jon meacham. that was actually not boring at all. thank you for that. >>> also, data journalist for the economist elliott morris and the "washington post" jacqueline alemany. thank you for your reporting and your analysis this morning. >>> now to multiple sources telling nbc news that the u.s. and european union are expected to impose coordinated sanctions on russia as early as today. the sapbgdzs sanctions come after alexei navalny and will be the first to target moscow since biden became president when he opened a comprehensive review of u.s.-russia, including the solar winds hack, and reported bounties offered to taliban-linked groups to target u.s. forces in afghanistan. that's a lot that's been happening over the past few years. let's bring in white house correspondent for politico and msnbc c

trump: i think it is disgraceful. it looks for the world to watch, absolutely, the political maneuver they are doing.fu it was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. look, they went in, they shouldn't have done it. some of them went in, and theyth are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships, and a lot of the peoplehi were waived in, and then they walked in and they walked out, and i'll tell you, they are doing things -- they are persecuting a lot of those people, and some of them, some things should happen to them, but when i look at antifa, in washington, even, with what they did to washington and what they did to other locations and the destruction, and frankly, the killing and the beating up of people, and nothing happens to them whatsoever, why aren't they going after antifa? i watch this gentleman on "60 minutes" the other night, it was horrible what he said -- >> laura: are you talkingapap about the former prosecutor who is prosecuting some of the ind

the doj, trump's doj declined to prosecute. interior secretary ryan zinke, investigated for corruption. found to be substantive and serious enough it was referred to justice department for criminal prosecution. trump's justice department declined to prosecute. also trump labor secretary alex acosta investigated for corruption. found to be serious enough he was referred to department of justice for potential prosecution. the trump justice department declined to prosecute him as well. now four of them at least, now trump transportation secretary elaine chao as well also referred for criminal prosecution, and referred to trump doj on interesting time line before they too decided not to prosecute her. in this letter explaining the actions of their office, inspector general's office says they started investigation into elaine chao in 2019 and decided some of the allegations were serious and substantive enough they required a criminal referral to the justice department and made that referral based on the findings of the investigation

i think we have sound on trump. roll the tape and let's listen. >> one of his first official acts was incredible, again, he talked about energy. he never said he was going to do this. he canceled the keystone xl pipeline, destroying -- [booing] -- 9,000 or the 11,000 jobs that you hear but 42 great-paying jobs on just about day one. under the radical democrat policies the price of gasoline has already surged 30% since the election. and it will go to $5, $6, $7 and even higher. elizabeth: yeah. even democrats like richard trumka, labor leader and you know, joe manchin opposed the killing of the keystone pipeline. your final word, jason? >> shame on those union leaders who said biden would be better because the first thing that joe biden did was get rid of union johns. and it is playing out right now in real time. elizabeth: jason chaffetz. thank you so much. we'll be right back. stay right there. at liberty mutl customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home. insurance is cool. only pay fo

but i -- donald trump. i don't think he's going to change his messaging and it's going to be incumbent on candidates coming forward in the republican party to treat him with a little bit of deference and at least some sort of acceptance that his viewpoint is part and parcel of a large majority of the republican voters. host: dillon in indiana, decatur, republican line. caller: hi. i just want to thank cheryl. i haven't seen her on here before, but she is probably one of the most honest people that i have seen on the tv or this network about what she said about the courts not even accepting any of the evidence presented. they denied and denied. and why are we not allowed to say the things that we have seen as far as the videos of the capitol insurrection, as they call it. there's multiple videos inside this guy named john sullivan, you can tie back these characters to different protests within different states. and they were involved with some violence. why can't we say it's antifa. trump supporters don't ha

says many q followers' faith in trump is limitless. >> do you really believe that president trump was working to attack this global cabal of satin worshipping pedophiles? you believed he was deeply involved? >> yes, of course i believed that. i believed he's been charged by military intelligence, that he was an avatar, right. there are people out there believe he's a time traveller. there's people out there think he's jesus, so yeah, yeah. hundred percent. >> brian okstat continues to believe that trump is fighting a battle against evil. >> it's always been this great hate for trump because they know he's not on the inside. looking back on it, in hindsight, i stayed away from politics. now i'm trying to connect all these dots. they've hated him from day one. they've develop after him from day one, and why? that's my question. why? so then i'm -- to me in my mind, that's why. he's trying to shut down child trafficking all over the world. >> how did a conspiracy cult based on lies and bizarre accusations grow so fast? it wouldn't have happened without the help of social media. >> the wa
