>> reporter: and he later told soldiers the russian state, him in effect, had paid a billion dollars to the wagner group as it fought in ukraine over the past year. >> translator: i want everyone to know about this. the maintenance of the entire wagner group was fully provided for by the state. we fully funded this group from the ministry of defense and from the state budget. >> reporter: it was a strange bit to paint prigozhin last seen here in rostov on saturday as a corrupt profite eprofitee. but the new spin is too late as prigozhin tuesday appeared to have fled to belarus. according to its president alexander lukashenko who relished in colorfully describing a contrasting weekend to putin in which he persuaded prigozhin in on phone call to stop his tanks moving.
this weekend will be really the first major gathering of republican presidential hopefuls, eight of them, more than we've ever seen together before. the place, the iowa state fairgrounds, the mood, highly competitive. and the theme, well, officially it's called roast and ride, but the des moines register more colorfully calls it a chance for candidates to ride motorcycles, flip pork and roast president biden. one notable no-show, donald trump who hasn't attended the event since his first go-round as a candidate back in 2016. i want to bring in nbc's vaughn hillyard who's live in des moines, doug heye is also with us. set the stage for us. how big a deal is this for voters but of course for candidates who have that old saying, one chance to make a first impression?
in the upcoming xde1budget.çóçói nbc's carol lee is with us. i thought it wasw3 interestioe said it was anñi extraordinary achievement, obama ñiqcare, and then refer%■ howñi he famously said more colorfully what it saidmmore colorfully what it >>r administration has reallyxd embraced it. democrats have embraced obama care, and you heard the president there really toutçóxd his administration has tried to build on obama care. one of the things, chris, that he said is thatxdxdw3 he actual spoke to former president obama yesterday ahead of ther anniversary of thelp affordable care act, and that they did a little thinge1ñie1t(i] together from a white house official that they recorded the -- the president and former president
ensuring that the actual slate of electors made its way to washington, all of that was our effort to defend against these nefarious efforts at every step of the way, to enable congress to potentially overturn the election, which the false electors were trying to enable. >> so, neal, that scheme couldn't exist without pence doing what trump told us at speeches in georgia ahead of the special election there, what he told us on twitter and what we know through testimony he described even more colorfully with one of his favorite swear worlds on the phone with mike pence. trump sits atop the fake elector plot, because he was the one screaming from the rooftops at people to do it. he was calling people at the state level. i think it was the peak of covid, he was inviting them to the white house, if i remember some of the reporting. i know jack smith is humming along now, but do you think we'll ever understand the delay
and do it very well. those of us who cover white houses and travel with the president, we rely on them, too, they're around with us protecting us, as well, though, of course, we're not the priority. but this is unheard of here. but it is something the biden white house was carefully watching, too, and still to this day, a sense of leeriness among some of the agents who are around the president and the first family who are believed to be supporters of donald trump. but this here is a new -- a new one, certainly, for the agency, and it's one that could lead to some changes, and certainly, while we're talking about mind-set, the other piece of this was kelly anne conway, who spoke yesterday to the january 6th committee and pressed by reporting in my book earlier this summer about how donald trump in the days after the election, suggested to her and to others privately saying, well, i can't believe i lost to this guy. he said it more colorfully than that, meaning joe biden, at the time, it was sort of an
brand? no. he still is a deadlock right now for the republican nomination any way you look at it. really the only way that i see that donald trump would not be the republican nominee is if there are reasons that take him out that are not of his own volition, meaning -- >> legal? >> legal reasons. or if his health, you know, simply -- right now he has it in the bag if it's a crowded field. if it's four more people, which it looks like it would be. >> so doug, it's important to remember that while trump is not on the ballot today, ron desantis is, and i want to play for you what former rnc chair michael steele said kind of colorfully. his take this morning when desantis was called the party's rising star. >> he's not the rising star in the party. he is the star in the party. >> wow. >> he's eclipsed trump in a way that has trump right now sitting on that golden toilet banging his head up against the wall. >> so doug, if desantis does win
like cipollone who was up there defending him against articles of impeachment. he carried a lot of water for donald trump. does he want to continue to carry that water by not being as forthcoming as he could be? because you can sit in these rooms and say, well, i don't recall that, and you can be somewhat evasive while still sitting there for a few hours. or is he going to tell people what he knows? because if he tells people whoa knows, you've got to think that it's going to sharpen the case around criminality and this tolerance of violence that you spoke about. >> it is an interesting, you know, sort of frame of relativity, jackie, you know, do you want to be less helpful than bill barr, who seemed to enjoy yukking it up and invoking the word b.s. over and over again, colorfully, as well as mr. cipollone's own deputy, eric herschmann, who's also been a fulsome storyteller of the vast sort of criminal concerns that the lawyers had. i mean, we already know so much about how concerned the lawyers were about criminal conduct on
>> and so in late april 2014, stephen cried uncle. he'd make a deal, plead guilty, and confess to murdering his neighbor, lauren giddings. >> he admitted that he came into her apartment in the middle of the night, that she said something to him, essentially telling him to leave, but colorfully. >> yeah. >> and that he attacked her. she fell off the bed as they struggled. her legs ended up under the bed where she couldn't kick him or get out from under it, and that put him at an advantage. >> stephen said he strangled lauren to death. then dismembered her body, put her torso in the trash bin of the apartment. the other remains in the law school dumpster. over the years, police and volunteers search for countless hours, even dug up a landfill, but never found anything.
optimism. we'll explain the details. on the the ground though russia is continuing to launch brand-new attacks on civilians in the center of kyiv and an apartment building here struck at 6:00 a.m. local time. the death toll not known. the kyiv's mayor colorfully responded to putin's attacks. >> putin said he's only targeting military targets. bull -- [ bleep ]. sorry. where is the military target. this building is not a military target. >> kyiv is under a curfew, the streets mostly empty. you could still hear machine gunfiring at all times of the day. in mariupol, they destroyed a theater where hundreds were sheltering. no official death toll there. a horrifying scene. there was the aftermath of a russian attack on a bread line where ten other individuals were killed according to a local death count. nbc has not verified the video and there was blurring done
i'm sure they will be nice and impartial. [inaudible conversations] senator john kennedy a republican from louisiana. he is a plain spoken guy. pete: author and columnist mark steyn filling in for tucker rachel: sure is. tonight, in capable hands -- dean: colorfully. >>, no i can't do the quizzical pete: here is his thoughts on impeachment. all i know today is jake, i expression that he has -- don't know if we will ever [laughter] get the case. it hurts my neck. i don't know why the speaker i put my neck out, and then i is doing this. have to go to emergency, and the maybe she is telling the whole thing falls apart. truth that she wants to dictate the policy or the procedure, rather, to the [laughter] pete: we've had, we're covering senate. if that's -- if she is a couple of unfortunate attacks on this program. sincere in that i think it's you had the anti-semitic attack here in new york, but you also unconstitutional. had the attack on a church in maybe it's a cynical, political employee. texas where a good guy with a meantime i would get back to gun stepped up and thwarted what work. >> okay. >> i think the senate ought could have been a much bigger to take up the usmca. issue. your response to both those things. >> well, i think the new york stuff is disgusting because pete: a guy like jake tapper you've actually got, like, the mayor of new york outright lying doesn't know what to do is about the nature of the event he like okay. is he speaking the way people are thinking. and who's responsible for it. rachel: get back to work. and in a situation like that, i remember being at a dairy it's not surprising that people aren't willing to mortgage their breakfast in wisconsin when the russia hoax started security to the state when the coming up and nobody cared state is lying to them. about that. i love this thing in texas. everybody wanted to know what's going on with terrorists. tariffs you know, if you go back that
