prigozhin and his troops -- we just saw it there, were literally cheered, and they support his anti-elite message. how would putin feel about the man he accused of treason, essentially, being publicly cheered in that way? humiliating, isn't it? >> absolutely hue miliating. putin may not know how much support prigozhin and his cause may have. this is about more than just prigozhin. this is about people, in particularly, in the russian military being exhausted by this criminal excursion into ukraine, and to bash the bureaucracy and the guys in moscow is going to be a pretty popular thing, and
long before wagner was interrupted by the russian state once again. war had broken out in ukraine for a second time and they were needed. the group was heavily involved in russia�*s capture of the city of bakhmut in eastern ukraine. but lately, tensions between wagner and the russian state have been rising. prigozhin is trying to advance his own interest in ukraine and wagner is making military decisions based largely, largely on what they will generate for prigozhin, in terms of positive publicity. this weekend, wagner is poised to launch a coup on the russian military, but it was called off after the president of belarus intervened. humiliating and making president putin look weak. but was it enough to cut ties with the force that has been crucial in predicting russia�*s power and supporting its allies around the world? ——
exceptionally frail, and the fact he had to turn, it seems, to the belarusian president aleksandr lukashenko. a man he considers to be a subordinate, order around as a lesser ally to come in and engineer this sort of compromise, that gets prigoshin to stand down, that, in itself, humiliating. i think a lot of the time we like to feel that there's some sort of evidence behind the chaos in russia or the russian state is somehow in control of all the strings controlling a marionette on its stage, i think what we've seen here is a real sign of splits in the elite we've known for a while that spilled into the open, quite why we didn't see the wagner group move all the way to the capital. may never know the answer to that. maybe didn't like the idea of people who may not want them to be there without adequate support. may be something else not in our knowledge at the moment and we may learn down the line.
demonstrating the difference between a cult and a political organization requiring this absolute fealty. and skipping past the fact he's been found civilly liable for sexual assault. that apparently wasn't even a threshold question for this pledge. the question whether or not he has mishandled the nation's secrets is a threshold question, and the rnc batted it down and said we don't care you have to support our guy. now, the interesting thing, the second reason that's humiliating, nicolle, is i'm not sure the candidates themselves actually care. chris christie said i'll sign it even though i'll never support donald trump, and i'll treat this piece of paper the same way donald trump will. donald trump himself probably won't agree with it. the rnc really a feckless organization at this point even those who say i don't really mean it, but at the end of the day let everybody know that the republican national committee said if you are going to run for president, that means you must
and so i was like, oh, this will be interesting. you know you raise obviously a great point, and i worry about this sometimes because we talk so much about it, whether or not it's real or it's not. but whether it's manufactured or whether we talk about it too much in the media, at the end of the day a lot of people aren't in on the joke. and, you know, just ask riley gaines, ask any of these women whose sports have been ruined by people who are, you know, who don't think it's a joke and they take it too far and they remembering what people have spent their entire lives devoted to perfecting. i did not know that there was a women's fishing team, for example. >> greg: i know. >> charlie: but i also didn't know until you explained it right there that there was an inherent advantage that men have over females. >> greg: i guess it's like grip strength or something like? >> charlie: i just know that anytime i've ever taken a woman fishing she always outdoes me so it's kind of humiliating. >> jim: the advantage the man
primetime special coverage of the day that donald trump was federally criminally indicted. you are looking here at some of the images that we saw today in miami after trump had called for his protesters from around the country to come to miami to show strength in response to this. it was more sparse than i expected. >> yeah. going into today, the sort of scale it was, manhattan -- manhattan arraignment to january 6th, right? like, the worst-case scenario, of course, january 6th, was most sort of like humiliating or ridiculous being a -- and it is basically like manhattan. >> yeah. >> and i think there's a few things to think of. when it, is donald trump is a con man if he's anything, and it's projecting -- and confidence that makes him who he is. and this is embarrassing for him, as wisdom and anything. maybe doesn't have the power to just instruct people in the way that he wants everyone to think he does. number two, 1000 prosecutions of the january 6th insurrectionists probably weighs heavily on the kind of person who will be
>> yeah. going into today, the sort of scale it was, manhattan -- manhattan arraignment to january 6th, right? like, the worst-case scenario, of course, january 6th, was most sort of like humiliating or ridiculous being a -- and it is basically like manhattan. >> yeah. >> and i think there's a few things to think of. one is, donald trump is a con man if he's anything, and it's projecting -- and competence and confidence that makes him who he is. and this is embarrassing for him as was the manhattan thing. maybe doesn't have the power to just instruct people in the way that he wants everyone to think he does. number two, 1000 prosecutions of the january 6th insurrectionists probably weighs heavily on the kind of person who would be contemplating whether they are going to go to the federal courthouse and engage in mayhem or mischief, and i think we are seeing, in turn of effect, in fact you are seeing it in the channels in which these people speak, you are seeing it in the messages to them from far-right media figures about, don't fall into the feds traps and all this kind of stuff -- and number three, just because the gun does not fire does not mean he didn't try to fire it,

all at the same stuff, took to social media to summon his supporters, asking them to protest, protest, protest, kept that caps on for a solid week. he attacked the prosecutor, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, as a degenerate psychopath, that truly hits the usa. but instead of a massive protest he clearly wanted, we got a few dozen supporters, and a lot of press, who turned up to lower manhattan. all of which is to say, we don't know where tomorrow will land on the scale of responses to trump's call to action. it could be another humiliating despite likely so in new york. but we do know that donald trump, as far as he is capable, and as far as we can get his intent, which is pretty clear, he wants to use the mob and menace as a tool of political power and intimidation against the justice system. everyone thoroughly understands and even expects that. and yet, of course, it remains
evidence showing that tweet was an explicit for people to mobilize to washington on january 6th, and to engage in unlawful activity. court documents from the hundreds of cases against january 6th defendants reveal even more examples, like just, for one example, facebook messages from oath keepers leader, kelly meggs, trump said it's gonna be wild, he wants us to make it wild. that's what he is saying. he called us all to the capitol and wants us to make it while. as we look ahead to tomorrow, we should also keep in mind that donald trump tried the exact same playbook with his last indictment in manhattan. all at the same stuff, took to social media to summon his supporters, asking them to protest, protest, protest, kept that caps on for a solid week. he attacked the prosecutor, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, as a degenerate psychopath, that truly hits the usa. but instead of a massive protest he clearly wanted, we got a few dozen supporters, and a lot of press, who turned up to lower manhattan. all of which is to say, we don't know where tomorrow will land on the scale of responses to trump's call to action. it could be another humiliating
