And former cia officer david priest. David, good to see you. I havent seen you in a while. David is the author of the president s book of secrets. Lets start with john harwood. John, President Biden says trump should no long e receive briefings citing his erratic behavior. This is a big deal. Well, its a big deal, don, in the sense that no other expresident has been denied this information. But its a completely normal deal when you think about how donald trump is different from every other previous expresident. Is he discreet with Classified Information . No. He wasnt as president. Is he capable of providing wise advice that joe biden or any other policy maker would value based on that information . No. Is there something suspicious about his relationship Vladimir Putin and russia . Yes. Does anyone doubt that donald trump is capable of taking Classified Information and using it to benefit himself politically, financially or in some other way . No, Nobody Doubts that he might do that. And all those are reasons that i think joe biden was not wanting to say out loud, but those are all reasons not to provide him those briefings. David, what do you think . Should the former president have this kind of access . In general a former president should have this kind of access because it is useful to the current president to be able to reach out to somebody who has been in the same seat that theyve been in, having to make the same major decisions on life and death, going to war, major negotiations with foreign leaders. For all those reasons, its good to have a reservoir of a handful of people who can give you advice based on what it was like, even if they disagree with you politically. But thats in general. And donald trump does not fit into the general pattern of what a former president behaves like because he doesnt fit into the pattern, like john said, of what a president behaved like. So, in this case, biden has logic on his side to say im not going to be using donald trump the way that many president s used, for example, richard nixon, as one who can give me advice and let me bounce off ideas about russia and china in particular. If biden isnt going to use trump like that, there really is no excuse for this custom, this tradition of Intelligence Briefings to continue for donald trump. Yeah, i think you said there was no logical reasons why trump should have access. You wrote a book on what these classified briefings are like, what kind of damage could be done if this information was exploited. Well, the good news is that even if you had an expresident who went completely off the reservation and was getting the briefings, theyre not getting the crown jewels. Theyre not getting the top level intelligence document that has all the secrets the current president wants and needs to see. They are getting less sensitive briefings than that. But lets not kid ourselves. These expresident s if the current president allows them to do get Classified Information if they want to see it. By definition Classified Information is information that if revealed would do damage to the National Security of the United States. That might be revealing some kind of intelligence collection, revealing some kind of vulnerability in the United States or revealing a source or a method of intelligence collection that would prevent us from getting the next information about a Military Threat or a Terrorist Attack against the United States. If that information gets in the wrong hands, gets in the hands of our adversaries, thats a bad day for america. John, the president also made news tonight on covid relief and minimum wage. Take a listen to this. You also want to raise the minimum wage to 15. Is that something you would be willing to negotiate on in order to get republican support . Well, apparently thats not going to occur because of the rules of the United States senate. So, youre saying the minimum wage wont be in this one . My guess is it will not be in it. But i do think we should have a minimum wage stand by itself, 15 an hour and work your way up to the 15. It doesnt have to be boom. And all the Economics Show if you do that, the whole economy rises. So, this is significant. What does this mean for negotiations . Well, i think the absence of the minimum wage from the package, if thats what happens, will make it easier for joe manchin to take one example, the most conservative democrat among the 50 they need all 50 to pass this bill make it easier for him to vote for it. I did think it was odd that the president used that venue to make that statement. They put it in the bill. Bernie sanders in the senate has been making the argument, wants to make the argument that it can pass muster under the parliamentarians ruling about whats appropriate in reconciliation. Many other people expected that it would be thrown out. The House Budget Chairman had predicted that it would be thrown out. Im not sure why, if youre going to include it and if youre going make the attempt, why would the president be forecasting its demise at this point . But again, i do think that the fact that this change is likely to be made in the bill, that is, it coming out as well as the adjustment in the targeting of those checks that are going to go to families so that people with higher income wont get them, those will make the bill more appealing to more people that democrats need to pass. And i think thats the sum and substance of what it means. John, david, thank you so much. I appreciate it. So i want to bring in now cnn senior justice correspondent mr. Evan perez. Evan, good to see you. Thanks for joining. Youre getting new information about a major breach of security at joint base andrews. A man was able to gain access to the plane . What in the world . Yeah, this is an intrusion at joint base andrews, don, that this man was able to get not only through security, past security, was able to get on to an aircraft, a c40. And this is an aircraft that belongs to the 89th air lift wing. This is the group that takes care of some of the planes that you see the president , the Vice President , members of the cabinet fly on. This is not one of the planes that is used for air force one, but obviously it raised a lot of security concerns t. Air force says now theyre going to investigate this. This man was booked and given a summons and handed over to local authorities. But obviously this is going to have some major repercussions for the air force to understand exactly what happened. Well, it should. And tonight the Justice Department is revealing that they are looking into the proud boys and the danger they pose to the country. What are you hearing about this . Yeah, this is a guy by the name of ethan nordean. He called himself the sergeant at arms of the proud boys chapter in seattle. In a memo to the judge asking for him to remain in jail while they await to bring him here to d. C. To face these charges, don, which includes by the way conspiracy, which is a very serious charge, the prosecutors say that releasing the defendant to rejoin the fold and plan their next attack poses a potentially catastrophic risk of danger to the community. Thats very Strong Language from prosecutors. And what theyre describing is this some of the things they found in their search. They found preparations. They found a lot of some of their Communications Equipment that allegedly these men were using to try to communicate during the capitol attack. So, what prosecutors are asking is keep them in jail because theres a lot of serious things that were still looking into and more charges could be coming. Evan, thank you. Have awe great weekend. I aminoppreciate it. Fox cancelling its highest rating show, lou dobbs, hes out. Were going to tell you how it went down next. It is love, love, love that makes it all worthwhile and it is love, love, love that cant help but make you smile. It is love, love, love that lights the sun and stars above. Oh, i want you to know you are loved. Send the love. Order now at edible. Com so Fox Business Cancelling lou dobbs tonight, its highest rated program, that as fox faces a 2. 7 billion lawsuit from smart mattic, a voting company. Defamed smart mattic while perpetuating President Trumps lies about Election Fraud. Also named in the suit, Protrump Attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Joining me now is brian stelter. Brian, good evening. Brian, this is big. What do you know . Why did this go down . How did it go down . Apparently fox was thinking about doing this, pulling the plug on dobbs show. But you have to look at this. Theres a lawsuit filed against Fox Naming Dobbs and the next day his show is cancelled. Dobbs was known for his extreme content on the air. I think management decided enough is enough. But that raises the question what about others like janine pirro and Maria Bart Romo who were named in the same lawsuits. Im told janine pirro will be on the air tomorrow night. Maybe dobbs is the sacrificial lamb. And Maria Bart Romo still over at fox business as well. Ooms and she has a show on friday that airs. And she will be on thats right, yeah. Go on. Shes going to be on as well. And so thats the curious thing about this. It seems like they are cutting dobbs off and in some ways admitting to some problems with his content. But fox has been moving further and further to the right in many ways in recent weeks and months. They are chasing their audience in much the same way the gop is struggling to figure out what to do with Marjorie Taylor greene, fox news is radicalizing its viewers and moving along with them. I think they radicalized their viewers so much believing the trump stuff, when they had to level with their viewers that joe biden had actually won the election and so on and so forth that the viewers needed purer stuff. So, they went on to another place because they should not have been surprised that they made their viewers believe this garbage and then the viewers were upset when it turned out not to be true. What is fox saying about this . They are saying they will vigorously defend themselves in this lawsuit from smartmattic. They say they are proud of the Election Coverage and they were planning on making changes to the programming even before election day. Thats the claim from fox. This lawsuit is a very big deal and dominion is another Voting Technology company that may also sue in the coming days or weeks. So, there are legal problems on multiple fronts here. Fox is very exposed, as are other channels like newsmax and america news. I think in this case 2 plus 2 equals 7 billion and thats the certain right now for them. The opinion shows on fox have been leaning into defending the looney right wing conspiracies. How is that working out for them now . Fox news is a weird situation. Fox has not been in the position for 20 plus years. Fox news is number three in the ratings race. Im not here bragging about cnn. This isnt just about cnn. Msnbc is also ahead of fox. Fox has found itself in the wilderness in a way it never has been before. Staffers are saying we are lost. We dont know what to do. We are trying to claw our audience back. I think it speaks to the anger some trump fans feel toward the media. They dont want to hear news about biden. It speaks about radicalization. When people want a purer form of what theyre getting. A lot of people look at fox news as a gateway drug and when that high is not high enough anymore you go off to newsmax, fringe qanon websites. That is part of the dynamic of whats going on in right wing media today and that is hurting fox news right now. Brian stelter, host of reliable sources. I will be watching. Were investigating the people who stormed the capitol, their ages, background, where they come from and more. Stay with us. Welcome, todays discussion will be around sliced meat. Moms want healthy. And affordable. Land o Frost Premium no added hormones either. Its the only protein ive really melted with. Land o Frost Premium. Fresh look. Same great taste. My Heart Failure diagnosis changed my priorities. I want time for the people i love. My heart doesnt pump enough blood so my doctor gave me farxiga. It helps my heart do its job better. Farxiga helps keep me living life and out of the hospital for Heart Failure. Do not take if allergic to farxiga. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include rash, swelling, Difficulty Breathing or swallowing. Stop taking and seek medical help right away. Tell your doctor right away if you have red color in urine or pain while you urinate, or a genital area infection since a rare but serious genital infection may be lifethreatening. Do not take farxiga if you have severe Kidney Problems or are on dialysis. Other serious side effects include dehydration, sudden Kidney Problems, genital yeast and bacterial infections in women and men, urinary tract infections, and low blood sugar. Stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis which is serious and may lead to death. More time with her . Sounds good to me. Farxiga if you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. The former Capitol Police chief saying in a newly disclosed letter the entire Intelligence Community seems to have missed the Warning Signs of the capitol riot, even as thousands of social media posts suggested the rioters saw the capitol as awe target. To prevent more attacks like the one we sun january 6, it is critical that we understand the profile of the insurrectionists among us. So, the next guest, my next guest, has been working to do just that. Hes a Political Science professor at the University Of Chicago and coauthor of peace in the atlantic. This weekend, its titled capitol rioters arent like other extremists. Its a fascinating article. You and your team, you looked at 193 suspects charged with being inside the capitol or breaking through barriers to get on the grounds and compared it to the data on recent arrests on right wing extremists. And you found this is take a look at your screen now the vast majority of the suspects have no ties to far right militias, White Supremacists gains and the like. What does that tell you about the people involved in the insurrection . That tells us that were dealing with a new Mass Movement with violence at its core thats not easily reducible to the usual suspects. Yes, 10 are members of Militia Groups or gangs like the proud boys. But that means 90 are not. Yes, 8 are followers of qanon. But that means over 90 are not. We need a finegrained understanding because the usual suspects just wont do it in this case. The striking thing that were learning is that 40 of the capitol hill insurrectionists, i mean those who went into the capitol, those 800, are Business Owners and white collar have white collar occupations. Thats stunning. In all the work ive done on Political Violence in my 30 years, we dont have a category in our other demographic studies for business owner. Here we have 13 . Perhaps most striking of all, don, 57 come from counties that biden won. Yeah. Now, to be clear, these are trump supporters, but biden won large urban counties. And so in chicago, biden wins 65 , that means 35 vote for trump. Well, thats 750,000 people. Thats a lot of people. Well, listen and thats what were seeing. Im actually not surprised by that because the people who live, i would imagine, among the biden supporters are probably more upset because they have to deal with him. If you live in a red county, you can go commiserate with your buddies and talk about how the election was stolen. You dont necessarily have that outlet and every day youre confronted with people who supported the other side. Thats not surprising to me. But youre not going to believe that its not surprising that its Business Owners as well. And im wondering if its if its if this sort of shows that there is a new group among us who are who have become radicalized by rhetoric, by sitting at home during the pandemic, by having more exposure to the internet and Conspiracy Theories and so on. We already have made substantial progress with our team of 20 researchers at the University Of Chicago. We have now a pretty good understanding of whats going on. What that tells us, don, is some of our Path Solutions just wont work. So, it wont be enough to just simply round up the militant right wing gangs because thats only 10 of what we see. Its not going to be enough to go focus and target qanon. In fact, the 8 in capitol hill, that compares to 17 in society as a whole in america who support qanon. What we need to understand is our usual solutions here such as lets solve the employment problem, give them jobs. Well, there are only 9 unemployed in this pool, so this isnt going to work. The average age is over 40. So, what we see here is another solution is theyll kind of grow up and grow out of it. Well, these are folks in their 40s and 50s. They have kids and so this is not going to work. What we need to do is actually pause a bit on reaching for the quick solution, do more work to thicken our understanding of who were dealing with in this new Mass Movement so that we can create true Viable Solutions that will work for america as opposed to looking for the quick solution. Yeah. This will not be done, don, and over in just the next few weeks. This is a problem that is going to go on for years, and we need to really take it seriously. I think youre right. And im just wondering because, listen, i know you said its surprising but its actually not surprising that the people, most of them, have jobs, that most of them are not affiliated with a group but they do feel some sort of similarity to that group, that maybe if theyre not even though theyre not connected to a white supremacist group, theyre still in the crowd with those White Supremacists, people who are wearing the camp auschwitz shirts and the racist paraphernalia that was found on the ground. Many people did not want to say they supported trump because it wasnt they would be deemed as outcasts or something. You know what im saying . In a way its not surprising. What were seeing in this new Mass Movement is a collection of wide variety of main Stream People in america. They are protrump, but this is a Mass Movement with violence at its core thats moved into the main stream. And that needs to give us pause and give us reason to truly sink resources and understanding more about who this group is is crucial for the future of americans. I agree. I awish we had more time. Bring this man back, producers. We want to talk to him more. This is fascinating. Thank you so much. You be well. So, it was one of the last meetings of the Trump Administration and it might just be the most insane. Were going to go inside an hourslong meeting filled with Shouting Conspiracies and even threats of a physical fight, next.

Trump couldnt accept his loss and was fighting the results with a legal team of Conspiracy Theorists. Jonathan swan of axios is reporting about how it all unravelled in what hes calling the craziest meeting of the trump presidency. Were talking about seven hours of screaming, cursing and a stand off that almost got violent. Heres what swan writes. He says the hours to come would pit against the white house lawyers and advisers determined to keep the president from giving in to evoke emergency National Security powers, seize voting machines, and disable primary levers of american democracy. Jonathan swan joins me now. Jonathan, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Fascinating piece. Again, thank you so much. You have been covering trump for years. But you say this December 18th Meeting was by far the darkest and most demented you have ever reported on. Set the scene for us as to what happened and who were the players here. Yeah, this was very deranged meeting. And really ive covered a lot of deranged meetings, but this one i think takes the cake. This is december 18th. Its a friday evening. And the day has consisted of a long series of oval office meetings. But there was one last meeting that wasnt on Donald Trumps official schedule. So, the white house lawyer, Senior Adviser is sitting in the outer oval office and in wandering Sidney Powell, who im sure your viewers are familiar with. Shes the female lawyer who has been propagating this false Conspiracy Theory that the venezuelans and the chinese and all sort of other communists hijacked the elections. The kraken lawyer. Yes, shes the head of the elite kraken strike force. So, her, Michael Flynn, the former National Security adviser for donald trump, patrick burn, the former ceo of overstock. Com, and another less known lawyer. They strolled into the oval office and Sit Down In Front of the Resolute Desk. So, her shman sitting behind the yellow chair closest to the door. And this sets off this it was about three hours in the oval office and then they head up to the residence. It was a meeting in which multiple white house officials joined, including the white House Counsel and the Staff Secretary. Others piled in on conference call. And the basic argument from Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn and the team was to the president was to sea ay that yo team, theyre all lawyers, they dont have your back, theyre not fighting for you. Listen to us. Weve got this plan. And they didnt use the words martial law in that meeting, but what they were proposing was to suspend the normal laws governing this country and to invoke emergency National Security powers to use potentially the u. S. Armed forces or other parts of the u. S. Government to go around the country seizing voting machines. This has already been debunked. And they had other ideas, rerunning the election, all sorts of other things. And trump is sitting there watching this whole thing play out. It actually got to the point where it almost became a physical fight. Michael flynn remember, former three star general, rose to the top of the military. Hes on his feet turning around from the Resolute Desk yelling at the white house staff, berating them. And at one point one of the Senior Advisers said, if you want to come over here, come over here, and if you dont, sit down. And he sat down. He sat down. He sat down. At one point, wasnt it, do you even know who i am and one of the people answered the wrong name . Yes, which is truly nuts. I want to talk about this. A legal team had been making these crazy claims of Election Fraud for weeks. They had already lost dozens of cases that had been debunked. This is what they were saying about dominion voting systems, and then well talk. We use largely venezuelan voting machine, in essence, to count our vote. We let this happen, were going to become venezuela. We cannot allow these crooks, because thats what they are, to steal an e lection from the american people. Dominion was created to award what i would call election insurance. Thats why hugo chavez had it created in the first place. The machine is easily accessible to hackers. Theres a video on the net that will explain to you how a kid with a cell phone can hack one of these voting machines. This is all garbage, right . And now some of these players are being sued. But inside the white house that night, the scenes were even more insane. Powell telling the president about this global scheme to fix the election. Right. What did she say and how did the white house lawyers respond to that . Well, she was waving around these affidavits, which were complete garbage. And you know, she had lost 60 cases in court, right . So, the white house Staff Secretary pointed out to her, said you havent won a seasoningal case. Everything you show falls over when youre asked to provide the evidence. And then she goes on this rant about how, well, the reason we you know, we didnt get a fair hearing because all of the judges are corrupt. So, all judges . Even the ones we appointed . Because remember a lot of these judges President Trump basically refilled the judiciary with trump appointed judges, many of them incredibly conservative republican appointed judges. They threw the cases out too. It was a bizarro world conversation. Its really important for people to understand. This is not some corner of the internet where qanon devotees are having these kind of conversations. This is in front of the president of the United States at the Resolute Desk. These documents were on the Resolute Desk, these documents alleging that venezuela and china and the cia was in on it. Were talking about some of the cookiest materials that have ever reached the Resolute Desk in recent american history. And when they told her you havent won a case, its been 60 cases, wouldnt address that but just say the judges were corrupt and then pivots to some other crazy Conspiracy Theory. You have some great detail. You mentioned the overstock ceo, overstok. Com, his name is patrick burn wearing a hoodie and a net Gator Scarfing down pigs in a blanket. He had never even met trump before. Why was he even there . Lord knows. I guess he became friendly with Michael Flynn and he was all in on this idea of this venezuelaen voting machine, incredibly complex conspiracy. These Conspiracy Theorists all found each other. And this sort of again, if you wrote this in some kind of a Screenplay It would just be thrown out because its too over the top. Hes there up in trumps living room. So, they repair up top the living room. Were now getting close to midnight, by the way. Theyve been yelling at each other for hours on end. Theyre sitting on armchairs and burn, in his hoodie is scarfing down pigs in a blanket and these little meat balls on tooth picks trying to engineer a military coup. And so theyre having this conversation and theres all sorts of back and forth. But at one point burn, whos never met trump, he says, you and i, were entrepreneurs, sometimes you need to do things more creatively. Hes trying to talk to trump as a peer. Again, it just really you wouldnt believe this stuff if you saw it in fiction but it actually happened. The president left and went to his private dining room and they left and went upstairs. Im wondering how trump was responding in all this. These guys are at least offering me a chance. Theyre saying they have the evidence. Why not try this . No matter how outlandish it was, he was saying why not try this . What does that say about the former president s State Of Mind . Did he thinks this fever dream he had that he could steal the election could work . Its hard to know what he believed was true or false. Ive recorded other scenes where trump had been receiving calls from Sidney Powell would put her on mute in the oval office and mock her in front of the staff there. Its the sort of thing he tends to do, saying shes crazy and whatever. But at the same time he entrusts her at one point with his legal strategy. Didnt he say sorry to cut you off. Didnt he say at one point, even no matter how outrageous what she was saying, her ideas were at least shes fighting for me. Trying to understand trumps State Of Mind at this point, basically hes so desperate at this point to overturn the election and hes infuriated because his professional staff are refusing to tell him what he wants to hear, which is, you know, mr. President , there is this clear path to victory. You can still overturn this election. So, by default, the only people left to listen to were the Conspiracy Theorists because they were only people willing to give him this outlandish preposterous theory that there was still a way to overturn the election. So, that was the crew that he gravitated towards as january 20 approached. Its so fascinating because it seems to be his State Of Mind now. As we know, jonathan, his whole legal team quitting and he had to come up with a new one because they wouldnt go along with these crazy Conspiracy Theories as well. Thank you. Please come back. Well be right back. Na, no mr you buy from us, you get the freedom of the sevenday return policy. This isnt some dealership test drive around the block. Its better.

Later this month, were going to see the release of the new movie the United States versus billy holaday. The film explores her tragic life and tells the story of how the federal government went after her for singing the song the Strange Fruit about the lynching of Black Americans. Here is a clip from the film. Why dont you ever sing Strange Fruit . Strange fruit. I got to be pretty high to sing that one. Never heard you sing it. Its a song about important things, you know. Things that are going on in the country. I dont think people know i care about those things. Most of my other songs are just about love. Love is important too, right . You know, one day im going quit the drinking and get off that stuff too. Go into one of those hospitals, you know, like judy garland, those movie stars. It is a fantastic film. The United States versus Billie Holiday is directed by The One And Only lee daniels, and he joins me now. Lee, its so good to see you. I got see it in advance thanks to you, and it is fantastic. Im so happy youre here to talk about it. Before we talk about that, i just want to get yes, sir. I just want to get from you whats happening in the country, because were five days into black it is black history month. Were still dealing with the aftermath of an insurrection during which we saw white supremacist symbols in and around the nations capitol building. What did you think when you saw what was happening on january 6th . I cant believe that i i cant believe that i was shocked, but i was shocked. I still was shocked. And it goes right back to my film. Like who thought that nooses would be around in 2021. Yeah. You cant write a script like this. You cannot write a script, don. You cannot write a script like what we are seeing now in the capitol, in the country. And youre the person who would know. What do you think, though . Because i know, lee, youre very outspoken about this. Your films, what you do on television, your work, your art deals with race. Much of it deals with race. Were you surprised seeing these folks handled the way they were . Can you imagine if they were black lives matter protesters . We would have been locked up. We would have been shot at. Wed have been i cant even imagine what would have happened. Yeah. And it really is a statement about a statement about where we are in america. Uhhuh. Its a its a dark time right now. Yeah. Well, lets talk about how we got here, because there is a through line to all of this. Lets bring in the film now. Whats the through line the through line is race, and thats what were talking about, how the country hasnt really dealt with it significantly. The United States versus Billie Holiday is the name of the film. She was targeted by the federal bureau of narcotics, ordered not to sing her song Strange Fruit which is about the lynching of Black Americans in the south. But she refused to stop singing it. Tell me more about how Strange Fruit fits into your film about the legacy the song has created. First of all, i didnt know that i did not know that she when you think of Billie Holiday, you think of a jazz singer. You really think of you dont think of a civil rights leader. She was singing this song at a time when it was not cool to sing it. The government asked her very nicely to stop. She refused. And she said no, im going to keep singing the song, and they arrested her for singing the song. They couldnt arrest her for free speech. So they planted even though she was a drug addict. She was trying to stop doing drugs. And they planted drugs on her. They berated her and crucified her until she died, even on her death bed they were planting drugs on her, because she refused to stop singing a song about lynching. Lynchings that were happening around america. What was the inspiration . Had you been wanting to do this for a long time . Because, listen, we had the summer of george floyd. We had black lives matter. We had broeonna taylor. It also deals with addiction and how we have evolved with that as well. Go on, lee. Sorry. I think that, you know, when i saw Lady Sings The Blues, Lady Sings The Blues really was exciting. I dont know if you remember that movie, but with Billydee Williams and diana ross. Id never seen two black people on screen like that. I was a teenager. I saw beautiful black people in love. But that wasnt the real story. That wasnt the stor y. Test test test it is love, love, love that makes it all worthwhile and it is love, love, love that cant help but make you smile. It is love, love, love. Send the love. Order now at edible. Com good evening. Breaking news this hour. A short time ago President Biden telling cbs news this about giving the former president classified intelligence br
