Joining us. you thought it was over but not. a potentially huge development in trump s new york trial but, first, they can t stop him. that s the focus of tonight s angle. laura: five months from election day and the list of democrat failures continues to grow by the day. now, it s friday, let s have some fun and quickly categorize them in chronological order. first, the biden team and their press homeys thought they could use jan 6 to intimidate trump supporters and scare away all the independents. history is watching, just like history watched three years ago on january 6th. whether insurrectionists stormed this very capitol and placed a dagger in the throws democracy. laura: dagger. trump left office on january 20th if you can t remember. insurrection u.s. government without weapons? okay. well, of course, democrats using
Killed during a traffic stop last week. to honor his memory a council member suggested flying the thin blue line flag. but democrat members refused. citing concerns of racism. i quickly went on to wikipedia, wikipedia is indicating the thin blue line symbol to be used by the blue lives matter movement since 2014. it says here it s become emblematic of white nationalist and neo-nazi all white movement in the united states particularly displayed by attendees of unite the rally in 2017 and the january 6th storming of the capitol. laura: well, what they did instead order flags outside town hall to be flown at half mass. okay. the american flag, and the pride flag. joining me now is briana, one of the republicans on the town council who voted in favor of flying the thin blue line flag. council woman, despite the fact
France. one of the big stories there tonight, the paris olympics organizers unveil a display of the five olympic rings mounted on the eiffel tower. the french capitol is marking 50 days until the summer games. just some of the stories beyond our borders tonight. we ll be right back. we are the champions my friends and we ll keep on fighting [coughing] copd hasn t been pretty.
Have rested on their own privilege and now the ticket is up. and let me just put for the audience, i want to show you the ripple effects from donald trump. 18 people were indicted in fulton county. 18 indicted in arizona. 15 indicted in michigan, the fake elector schemes, three indicted as fake electors in whisk wriv. two indicted for obstruction or mishandling of documents in florida. 1400 were arrested for busting into the capitol. you gethrough manafort, gaetz, peter navarro, george papadopoulos, michael flynn, kenneth chesebro, and sidney powell because donald trump was embarrassed he lost an election. how sad these people threw their lives away for that. on the other side of that, joe biden, this is what he has said about whether he will move heaven and earth like trump did when he just lost an election to save his own son hunter from prosecution. take a listen.
Without even checking. and then the democrats freaked out because there was a story written by news reporters of the wall street journal with 45 different sources all saying that joe biden has lost a step, and the media goes nuts and they attack the reporters instead of saying we have a problem. i do think that jimmy kimmel has kind of given up on getting ratings because any of those previous comedians greg mentioned, they would have been reaching out to the trump campaign and they would have said, let s go. let s have you on my show. i think trump would do it. greg: absolutely. dana: that s how you get ratings. to me i feel like they have given up. the capitol wants the biden campaign wants to do hillary clinton in the 2016 campaign, the roar campaign all the celebrities, it didn t work. it is biden s safest place. he does not want to do big events in new hampshire even because only 30 people showed up and as jesse pointed out 12 of them were staffers. so i find that all a little bit
Setbacks. nothing speaks more of that than race. i think that was why donald trump s victory in 2016 was so shocking in many ways. there was an assumption, maybe, that america s first african-american president, what a breakthrough that was. it almost felt to me like an end of history moment. but it wasn t the end of american history. there was a feeling that obama might be followed into office by america s first female president. again, this idea of progress and advancement. but what happened instead, of course, was you got a racist, misogynist as president. now, even after january 6th, when an american sitting president incited insurrectionists to storm the capitol, to try to overturn a clear-cut presidential result, he is still the republican nominee. what happened after those insurrectionists were cleared from capitol hill? so many republican lawmakers went back into the chambers where they d run for their lives and voted again to challenge and overturn the election.
Actually, on the day before january 6th, right outside of the capitol, talking about how they really needed to continue this fight no matter what had happened the next day, and go on, basically, until their dying days, to fight for, you know, the conservative movement. he was at the donald trump speech before the january 6th attack over by the white house. he was in the vip section there, and then he made his way over to the capitol on january 6th itself. he arrived on the east side after the barriers had come down. that s sort of what you see in those photos that he had posted. that s sort of looking towards the supreme court, and he actually shows up on some of the surveillance footage that house republicans have released. so i think what s most interesting is he was this prom negligent supporter of the stop the steal movement. closely affiliated are individuals. moving around with michael flynn at previous stop the steal events, ali alexander he was affiliated with. in the after math, he joined an organization, is on the board of an organization lobbying for
Of the moments before a woman unleashed hell on a mother and her 3-year-old toddler. the new details of what led up to that horrific attack. also, donald trump s latest target, well, in his words, the unselect members of the january 6th committee, why the former president is now calling for them to be indicted. plus, boos and the walkout, the negative greeting from some lawmakers in the pennsylvania state house when officers who defended the capitol during the insurrection walked in. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments, but we begin with nbc s ken dilanian who s outside the courthouse in wilmington where the hunter biden jury was just dismissed for the weekend. ken, do we know why this happened? reporter: yes, chris. in a word, there s been a change of plans by the defense after announcing that james biden, president biden s brother would be a witness for the defense, and we saw him walk into the
Capitol, defending our members of congress, trying to do their duty in the citadel of our democracy. they get booed. look, one of our two major political parties has completely lost its mind. that s largely because of donald trump. it is not just, you know, the senators and the representatives who are out there with this incendiary and inflammatory rhetoric, but at the local level, it s the rot, the craziness is even deeper and, in a sense, more worrisome. because if you look at the state republican parties, there are really fanatical sort of unhinged people who are becoming
I mean, i don t think a voter will say what he is saying, i see abortion, democracy, inflation, i don t see revenge as an issue any voter has said is a key issue for him. the more donald trump talks about it, the better it is for biden. gene robinson, the story that, i don t know, it s just a snapshot of our time and where we are right now, that it sort of bends your mind. i ll read it to you. two officers who defended the capitol on january 6th were booed, were booed by pennsylvania republicans this week. it happened as former capitol police officer harry dunn, former capitol police sergeant ganell, who officers who helped protect the capitol on january 6th and prevent the overturning of the 2020 election visited the pennsylvania statehouse as par of a cross country tour to discuss the threat they say donald trump poses to the country. we re told some republican members not only booed but turned their backs on the
