>> i'm eager to hear her assessment and what she felt when donald trump was on capitol hill. have a good show. >> thank you, alex. on january 6th, after the trump mob attacks the capital, tim cook, the conscientious ceo of apple reached into his conscience and presumably the conscience of the company he runs and said this, today marks a sad and shameful chapter in our nations history. those responsible for this interaction should be held to account and we must complete the transition to president- elect biden's administration. especially when they are challenged that our ideals matter most. those responsible for this interaction should be held to account. today, tim cook met with the person responsible, donald trump, and donald trump's first returned to capitol hill, since he inside of the attack on the capitol on january 6th, tim cook meeting with trump was arranged by a business lobbying group in washington that calls itself the business roundtable. companies pay big money to be members of the business roundtable which in turn lobbies for those companies and in addition to all that individual lobbying work done by the law firms and lobbyists that companies like apple higher by the dozen in washington. and this guy met with donald trump today in donald trump's return to capitol hill. >> there's no question, none, president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the event of the day. no question about it. the people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. >> donald trump did not set foot in the capital today, or on government property because meetings were campaign meeting said they were held off campus from the capital, first with republican members of the house and then the business roundtable and then republican members of the senate, mitt romney and bill cassidy who also voted to convict donald trump in his last impeachment trial did attend the meeting with donald trump today. nbc news caught up with senator romney, on his way to the trump meeting. >> do you plan on confronting him or bringing of any kind of january 6th related issues. >> now, this is not the place for that. >> no, no, this is not the place for that. that is the very polite version of the ultra polite utah senator met romney. maybe two polite this time. what is the place for that, one place that is the federal courthouse, a short walk from where they were meeting where donald trump was scheduled to stand trial for crimes that special prosecutor smith has accused him for committing but the republican supreme court blocked the trial by opposing a long delay in deciding an appeal by trump that they never should have accepted in which donald trump is claiming something that no president and no lawyer or judge has claimed before that the president of the united states has lifetime immunity for any and all crimes committed while he was president of the united states. andrew wiseman will join us to consider the unconscionable delay that the supreme court has imposed on the criminal case of the united states of america versus donald j trump. this is not the place for that. this is not the place for republicans or anyone else to stand up to donald trump, that's what they thought today. even a senator like mitt romney, who knows that donald trump keeps him because mitt romney voted guilty in both of donald trump's senate impeachment trials. >> now we gather due to a selfish man's injured pride and the outrage of supporters who he deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning. what happened here today was an interaction, incited by the president of the united states. those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by questioning the result of legitimate election will forever be seen as being complicit in an unprecedented attack against our democracy. >> this is not the place for that. it's also not the place for any exhibition of male ego by anyone other than donald trump, and it's impossible to overstate just how peculiar that is as our first guest tonight, the first woman speaker of the house, nancy pelosi can attest, there are many forces that make the wheels of power turn in washington, policy goals sometimes, ambition, but throughout the history of the republic, there has been no force more consistent than male ego. and so, one of the most fascinating things to observe in the senators public adoration of trump is the complete and utter collapse of male ego in a place that used to be run on the fuel of male ego, the oldest senator, 90- year-old truck -- chuck grassley was in the meeting, when i was working in the senate, grassley had a rough edged ego that was often activated as a cover for his chronic ignorance. the a and has expanded, and the ego of chuck grassley has evaporated. and then there is senator rafael edward cruz, he attacked his father, lied about his father being involved in the assassination kennedy, he attacked his wife, heidi, he ridiculed the way she looked and here is what the outraged candidate for president senator cruz said about that then. >> donald, you are a sniveling coward and leave heidi hell alone. >> let's be clear, this is nuts. >> there was real suspense going into the 2016 republican convention about whether or not the deeply offended senator cruz would event endorsed donald trump, the republican nominee for president but senator cruz looked into his heart and found, nothing. nothing that would prevent him from endorsing the presidential candidate who attacked and lied about his father and attacked and lied about his wife. and there was senator cruz today, in that lineup of utterly ego less republican men craving their moment with trump, craving a possible handshake or pad on the bar -- back or a wink or smile, a glance, anything from donald trump. watch. watch now, senator cruz, he craved that moment, after donald trump passes by, senator cruz,. ,. [ applause ] he kept clapping after donald trump left the room, after the door was closed, did he think donald trump could see through the door? today, the president of the united states was doing the nation's business in italy as a meeting of the g7. the president signed a ten-year security agreement with ukraine, biden and zelinski took questions from reporters. >> the discussion focused on developing ukraine's air defense system. my question is, can you provide any details about the readiness of our allies to take part, thank you. >> i be happy to respond to that. we have acquired commitment from five countries so far, the patriot batteries and other air defense systems as well as we let it be known to the countries that are expecting from us, air defense systems in the future. that they will have to wait. everything we have is going to go to ukraine until their needs are met and then, we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries. >> donald trump could not understand that question, or that answer. the president, who is only three years older than his republican challenger but is accused of being too old for his job has now flown across the atlantic three times in the last week and will fly back across the atlantic from this european meeting, all the way to los angeles, where he will be joined in a campaign fundraiser by president barack obama, george clooney and julia roberts, today the biden/harris campaign released this ad. >> on january 6th donald trump lit a fire in this country. >> 140 officers were injured, the siege lasted for seven hours. >> stoking the lanes of division and hate and now he's pouring gasoline. >> pledging to pardon the extremists who try to overthrow our government. and inciting them to try again. there's nothing more sacred than our democracy but donald trump is ready to burn it all down. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> leading off our discussions that, speaker america nancy pelosi of california. thank you for joining us tonight. i've been wondering all day, what your thoughts and feelings have been today, with donald trump returning not precisely to the scene of the crime but certainly, the neighborhood of the crime. >> well, he wanted to give the impression that he had come to the capital but what did they go to a bar on capitol hill or something like that but whatever it was, what the republicans and trump are trying to do is pull the wool over the eyes of the american people what happened that day was as it was described, by mitch mcconnell, by tim cook, they may have amnesia about what happened that day but the fact is, it was an assault, it was the scene of a crime, a crime of an assault on the capitol , with confederate flags flying underneath the dome that lincoln built. a crime against the constitution, and it's peaceful transfer of power. a crime against injuring people, a crime against people, whether it was members or police officers, law enforcement, the staff, the trauma continues. it was a terrible thing, when it happened, and it's a terrible thing that they are trying to deny it. this is revisionist history. this is whitewashing, as you say, but it is pulling the wool over the eyes of the american people. as far as those people going to any business roundtable, most of them care about, they just care about not paying taxes, they will put up with anything so they don't have to have taxes. as i recall to your attention, the only major piece of legislation that was passed by the republicans and donald trump when they and he were in power was one bill, a tax bill that gave 83% of the benefits to the top 1%. adding 2 trillion, not million, not billing, $2 trillion to the national debt. and then they come when we are trying to negotiate a budget deal and say, we really can't afford to do what you want to do for women, infants and children in terms of food and the rest because you know it's going to add to the national debt. it's just appalling. >> speaker pelosi, to comment on this phenomenon that i've been wondering about during the trump years, watching the collapse of the male ego, in that institution, where you started as a freshman member of the house, you were surrounded all day in a culture controlled by the male ego, these committee chairman so for ego reasons and other reasons would fight any slight incursion into their jurisdiction there was all sorts of jealousy involved that you know about and i know about in the house and the senate and we could see the male ego energy running wild around the place. most of the time, and in unproductive and negative way that got in the way of progress and so, it has astonished me that among, and i mean this as a male ego issue that among republican men in the senate and in the house, male ego somehow disappeared and i don't think social psychology has ever seen a phenomenon like this before. in the history of the study of male ego. >> well, as i said, we don't agonize, we organize. but understand this, this guy, the former president, he is a master of projection. everything he says about somebody else, whether it's a judge in the courtroom, a witness, a juror, a member of congress, a woman, and opponent in an election. everything he said is a rejection of -- projection of his own shortcomings. crooked this person, he's crooked. lisa this person, he's lazy. name any subject, any subject that you can name, wacky this person, he knows he is wacky, so we are going to do psychoanalysis i think we need to have them in front of some healthcare professionals but i do wish there would be an intervention from his family, assuming they loved him he on the resources, that they would intervene, that the republican party would have an intervention, they have become a cult to a thug and that is really a tragedy for the ground -- grand old party and what they were, so going into insecurities, really, you know the insecurities i'm concerned about are some of the voters out there who fall for his line. but i'm here tonight to say to you on this day, when he tried to return to the scene of the crime, he didn't dare come to the capitol, as he didn't dare come to the capitol on january 6th but we cannot let this be whitewashed, this is a disservice to our founders, the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform who have fought for our freedom that he wants to dismantle. and the aspirations of our children to live in this great country, with respect for the institutions and concerned about their future. he just doesn't care. but let us forget about him, let's just talk about unifying the country. putting forth what joe biden did with the democrats in the congress, the house and senate. we have the first bill, right away, the rescue package, shots in arms, money and pockets, people back to work, children safely in schools. a child tax credit taking half the children in poverty out of poverty. the bipartisan infrastructure bill, we had 13 republicans but that's bipartisan in the house, more in the senate, i think, but the bipartisan bill, creating jobs, the ira, saving the planet, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, the pack act to protect their veterans who have possibly been exposed to burn pits, and that is any reason to vote for us, we are not saying we deserve it, we are saying, we have proven that we can get the job done instead of one bill for the richest people in the country. joe biden, under his presidency and our fusion of resources into the economy, 15 million jobs, what's his name, the worst job record since herbert hoover. lowest unemployment for like 40 straight months, low, inflation coming down. people talk about the cost of living, that's a legitimate concern but we are preeminent in the world in taking down inflation and what we have also done, while i'm concerned about the cost of groceries as anybody would be, for families, but think about how we reduced the cost of healthcare, reduced the cost of prescription drugs in our ira bill, if you are a senior on medicare and you need insulin, before us, it was five to $600 a month for seniors, under joe biden and the ira legislation, it's $35 a month. so when we talk about the cost of living, we have to talk about the cost of healthcare as part of that. so again, it's about the kitchen table, the cost of living, a woman's right to choose which is an economic issue as well as a democracy issue. so, let's just talk about what is at stake for people in the election, because they don't care. they do not care. they care about the 1%, they don't care about your kitchen table issues. and again, always rejecting his own shortcomings onto other people. >> speaker pelosi, thank you very much for sharing your perspective on what is at stake in this election and in the way we govern, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for your attention to january 6th, we cannot let them pull the wool over the american people's eyes. our democracy is at stake. >> thank you. coming up, what the supreme court took 16 days to decide in 1974 about presidential immunity, the current supreme court has now taken 50 days and still, has not issued a decision on the simplest question, the d court has ever faced, about the american presidency. that's next, with that's next, with get 6x longer-lasting

(♪♪) dad is a legend. and his legendary moves might be passed down to you. ancestrydna can show you which traits were inherited, where they came from, and who he shares them with. but get movin', this sale is only for a limited time. on july eight, 1974 the supreme court was presented with a novel question, is the president of the united states subpoenas -- 16 days after the supreme court agreed to hear the case, the court issued a unanimous opinion on july 24, 1974, ordering richard nixon to comply with the subpoena and surrender the tapes. that forced the president of the united states to resign the presidency because the state contained evidence of nixon committing crimes in the white house. each justice who joined that unanimous opinion new that their opinion could bring an end to the nixon presidency by supplying evidence for impeachment, which he did. those justices knew the weight of the decision they were making. but it was in essence, a simple decision, turning on the simple principle. but no one is above the law. after the current supreme court agreed to hear an equally simple case, maybe even simpler, about the presidency. the republican controlled supreme court took eight weeks just to hear oral arguments of the case. it has now been seven weeks since the oral arguments in the current supreme court still has not announced its decision on the simple question, our former president immune from criminal prosecution for crimes they commit while president. no one, prior to donald trump, and possibly the current republican supreme court justices have ever thought that former presidents could not be criminally prosecuted. it's the kind of case that the supreme court should have nailed to decide in 48 hours, at most. the shame of this rep -- republican supreme court is not just ethics violations but financial corruption of clarence thomas and the unconstitutional musings of justice alito caught on tape recently. it's the procedural corruption that this republican supreme court has brought to the case of the united states of america versus donald j trump, the first prosecution in history of a former president for conducting a conspiracy against the united states to overturn a presidential election. joining us now is andrew wiseman, former chief prosecutor in new york state. author of the bestseller, the trump indictments. 1974, 12 days, we are in the 50th day now, now nothing. >> let me add, it was december of last year that jack smith asked the supreme court to take the case directly and they said no. it is six months since he said, let's just decide it now. and then, all of the statistics of the time you noted, the delay is the message. the delay is the decision, because no matter what they say at this point, it's too late for this trial in all reality, to actually happen in terms of d.c. and to your segment with nancy pelosi, it is a way of not reminding the voters, it's not ho
