because the court of appeals heard a major concession, see what i did there, from the lawyer from a former president who has refused to concede that he lost the election, and he did lose that election. before today trump's lawyers were absolutely, what's the word, adamant, totally convinced that the president has absolute immunity from trump's conduct while of course he was in office. they wouldn't even budge on this point. well, first they wouldn't budge. right out of the gate with question from one of the judges in the federal court, they were forced to make a powerful concession, that of course there is not absolute immunity meaning, you can never charge a former president for action taken while in office, if it was criminal or otherwise? they could see that you can prosecute under certain circumstances. and they only admitted that after the judge gave them a whole string of hypotheticals,

we wouldn't have had it done. but john mccain for some reason couldn't get his arm up. he goes like that. that was the end of that. >> for some reason. donald trump knows the reason john mccain could not raise his arms higher. >> this is coming from a president who call, when he visited a cemetery, called dead soldiers suckers and losers. remember that? >> that was more of what joe biden had to say about donald trump on friday in the first biden campaign speech of the year. for some reason, donald trump did not mention that part of biden's speech when he was lying about the biden speech. we will surely be hearing the word democracy in every one of joe biden's campaign speeches this year. and there's another word that has now appeared in the first two campaign speeches of that here by president biden. >> let's be clear, the 2020

said, he is stirring through the whole thing. we will now show you exactly what president biden said about trump and democracy on friday followed by in the truth sandwich file when donald trump lied about what joe biden said. >> trump -- it's not part of his past. it was promising in the future. not only willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power -- >> did you see him stuttering through the whole thing. he's a threat to democracy -- he weaponizes government, and he says i'm a threat to democracy. he's a threat to the mall -- [laughter] couldn't read the word. he's a threat to democracy. you know what they do? they take me saying that, you

italy in world war ii. democratic senator of hawaii had no right arm because he lost it in combat in world war ii. other current and former senators left parts of their body on battlefields while in combat, something no one in the trump family has ever endured. the day after donald trump lied about joe biden and his stuttering on the word democracy, he told iowa voters that he will try to repeal obamacare again if he wins the presidency. again, he didn't tell them that he will fail once again to repeal obamacare because republican senators now live in fear of the political dangers of repealing obamacare. and while he was on the subject, donald trump could not hide his hatred of republican senator john mccain who has been dead for five and a half years. >> obamacare is a catastrophe. nobody talks about it. you know, without john mccain,

election, trump exhausted every legal avenue available to him to overturn the election, every one. but the legal path, just to go back to the truth, that i won the election and he was a loser. [applause] >> loser. no word got donald trump more deeply than the word loser because he has such a perverse with comprehension of the words winner and loser. everyone knows in athletics and in everything else, you win some, you lose some. the greatest athletes of all-time won and lost. hundreds of hugely talented people assembled for a dinner party of sorts at the beverley hilton last night for the golden globes. and most of them lost. the word loser does not define those artists.

it was also about truth. rarely a president gives a speech where he uses the word truth so many times. but also it was about morning, his own morning, which president biden often speaks of. but there he was in mother emanuel ame, speaking of the mourning of the church, the mourning going on in that community, in that congregation. and it made me think that, you know, mourning has always been the deep side of lost causes, whenever they have evolved, because they are mourning great loss. and one difference which we could discuss between the confederate lost cause, with all of its fabricated versions of history, nevertheless, they were actually mourning something quite real. they lost 300,000 people, buried all across the landscape. they had lost their society. they had a lot to mourn.

which will be, again, at 9:30 a.m.. you can hear every word of the hearing right here on msnbc. donald trump has said he will attend the hearing. but the defendant has absolutely no role in an appeals court proceeding. if donald trump does attend that hearing, it will likely be so that he can try to cloud out the coverage of what was actually said during the hearing by making trump style irrelevant proclamations and lying proclamations outside of the courthouse after the hearing. the three judges, the three judge panel the appeals court hearing the case tomorrow, including two judges appointed by president biden and one judge appointed by president george h. w. bush. judge karen henderson was appointed by president george h. w. bush in 1990. judge michelle childs was appointed by president biden in 2022. judge florence ban was appointed by president biden in 2022. tomorrow, they will hear the most important appeal of their lives. donald trump's lawyers insist

because donald trump's lifetime and security is so profoundly reverse, he cannot bear the word luiza loser. he unleashed an insurrection on the capitol on january 6th to pretend that he was not the loser of the presidential election. joe biden obviously knows how much donald trump fear is the word loser which is why you can expect it to continue to be heard, the word loser, in joe biden's campaign speeches about donald trump. and you can expect donald trump to lie about joe biden stuttering on the word democracy. but for some reason, donald trump has not accused joe biden of stuttering when pronouncing donald trump a loser. this is a hot flash.

that president echo almost word for word what you said on this program, when he said, now, we are living in an era of a second lost cause. once again, there are some in this country trying to turn a loss into a lie, a lie which if allowed to live with once again bring terrible damage to this country. that second lost cause, something i first heard from you here. >> well, thank you, lawrence, for having me back. i'm sure the president and his team came up with that on their own. you don't have to be that wise to realize that this is happening. i found that the president's's speech today, remarkable for many reasons, the setting of course. and by the way, thank you for playing that clip of president obama. but i thought the speech was obviously about history and how we use it in issues.

whether they have jurisdiction or not, whether this interlocutory appeal was appropriately filed in the first place. and even if they find that it was not appropriately file, and they don't have really jurisdiction at this point, i suspect they will do a legal belt and suspenders. they will resolve the jurisdictional ill issue, but they will also go on to resolve the underlying issue of presidential immunity. i'm pretty sure they will reject that. but the reason they will go with that belt and suspenders approach is i don't think they want this case sort of ping-ponging back and forth between the trial court and the appellate court. resolve all of the issues now, and then hopefully get this case moving forward. and i ultimately believe, lawrence, that if the supreme court is an honest broker of the law, and the word is doing some heavy lifting in that
