    Senate aide telling The Daily Beast he ‘wouldn’t trust Rudy’ for representation ‘in a
    parking dispute.’ MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber examines what Giuliani
    on the stand could mean even citing Kanye West to argue why it might be best for
    Rudy Giuliani to ignore his own advice.

    to see criminal justice happen “on the state level” where “much of the war on drugs
    has been executed.” Cobb argues it is “significant” that “people who had prior
    convictions” have been “excluded from participating” and “benefiting financially”
    from the “burgeoning” cannabis industry.

    Often, the highlight of the MSNBC broadcast day is Rachel Maddow's hand-off to
    Lawrence O'Donnell. You can learn a lot in the brief conversations these two
    veterans have about the news of the day. Unfortunately, MSNBC ALWAYS
    edits the hand-off OUT of the streamed versions of the two shows!


    Tonight: Rachel and Lawrence discuss the official news that the U.S. Strike
    killed the top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander.

    Discussed Today:
  • 2020 Dem Yang hits Biden over coal miner-tech remarks
    Image error
    In a wide ranging interview, 2020 Democratic Candidate Andrew Yang joins MSNBC’s
    Ari Melber to discuss his latest surge in campaign donations, and how he plans to go
    “all the way” in 2020. Yang criticizes President Trump's airstrike killing Iranian
    leader, Soleimani. Yang also discusses Joe Biden’s “not realistic” suggestion that
    coal miners become coders, calling it “not productive.” Yang also discusses his
    favorite campaign trail snack and his new year’s resolution.

  • Trump impeachment gets the 'Uncle Murda' treatment in Rap Up 2019 song
    Image error
    From Trump’s impeachment trial to Kanye West’s embrace of gospel, many of the biggest
    moments in news and culture are satirized by musician Uncle Murda in his year end
    “rap ups,” which have become an annual hip hop tradition. The Brooklyn rapper talked
    about his latest edition of the song in this January 2020 appearance on MSNBC’s
    The Beat with Ari Melber, including his view that Trump’s impeachment “makes America
    great again,” in a joint appearance with MSNBC’s Ayman Moyheldin on Fallback Friday.

    Discussed Today:
  • Richard Engel on US airstrike that killed Soleimani: This is not over
    Image error
    Qasem Soleimani’s death is the latest in a series of escalating incidents that
    followed President Trump's decision to unilaterally withdraw America from the Iran
    nuclear deal.

  • Iraq strike generates mixed reactions in Congress
    Image error
    Reaction to the operation from members of Congress was sharply mixed, with Democrats
    blasting the Trump administration for failing to alert Congress about the strike.

  • Iran deal negotiator: Trump’s ‘reckless’ decision to scrap Iran deal led to tensions
    Image error
    The Trump administration has hit Iranian proxies before, but yesterday's airstrike
    against the country's top general is the first direct confrontation with Iran itself.
    Iran deal negotiator Robert Malley says, “We wouldn't be where we are today with
    threats in Iraq, threats to Americans, if it were not for the decisions that the
    Trump administration took, the reckless, shortsighted, and unnecessary decisions to
    throw away the nuclear deal."

  • Rep. Dean: Mitch McConnell can’t whisk away that Trump was impeached
    Image error
    As Congress kicks off the new year, Democrats are trying to put pressure on Senate
    Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow witnesses at the impeachment trial.

    Chuck Todd Now Realizes :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm
    He's Being Used For Propaganda.
    The Real Question Is What Happens Next?

    Interesting article from Daily Kos: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/1/1/1908612/-Chuck-Todd-now-realizes-he-s-being-used-for-propaganda-The-real-question-is-what-happens-next?
    by: Hunter for Daily Kos; Daily Kos Staff      Thursday January 02, 2020 · 8:30 AM SEAST
    Image error

    At the website PressThink, Jay Rosen had a post-Christmas examination of Meet
    The Press host Chuck Todd's startling new realization that, golly gee, it turns
    out that Republicans have been intentionally using his show and others to spread
    false information. Yes, Todd just realized that now. Yes, he is one of the top
    political "minds" in Washington, which ought to clarify just how boned we all
    are, as the nation's political press continues to somehow degrade into something
    even worse and more vapid than the chummy gullibles that brought us the Iraq
    War.

    I don't have much to add to Rosen's diagnosis, so go read that, but here's a key
    point.

    So what will they do now? My answer: they have no earthly idea. This is what
    I mean by an epistemological crisis. Chuck Todd has essentially said that on the
    right there is an incentive structure that compels Republican office holders to
    use their time on Meet the Press for the spread of disinformation. So do you
    keep inviting them on air to do just that? If so, then you break faith with the
    audience and create a massive problem in real time fact-checking. If not, then
    you just broke the show in half.


    Whether we truly believe that Todd or any of the other hosts on any of the other
    shows have been previously mystified as to why Kellyanne Conway, Ted Cruz, the
    phalanx of House Republican Trump defenders, Trump himself, or the rest of the
    Republican Party moved into overt disinformation and propagandizing, with the
    networks' willing help, is irrelevant. We have our suspicions, but it is
    irrelevant. The pertinent question is what happens to Meet the Press now that
    its host has confirmed, in his own mind and to the public, that Republican
    guests have been intentionally lying to the American public, relying on network
    and journalistic conventions to broadcast those lies with little or no pushback.

    As Todd himself realizes (just now, allegedly), his show's current format
    rewards lying over honest behavior. So what now?

    There are a few possibilities, and all of them would require an integrity among
    the Sunday shows that I don't think any of the Sunday shows have, or want.
    First, pervasive liars such as Conway and the vaporous White House press
    secretary do not need to be on the airwaves at all: There is no information they
    can convey to guests that cannot be accessed elsewhere and more accurately, and
    both have a proven record of repeatedly using media as disinformation outlets.

    Second: If House or Senate politicians begin spouting Russian propaganda claims
    about how Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in U.S. elections, or some other claim
    that goes directly against reality as we all know it, that should be a
    showstopper: no Moving on to the next question, no We'll have to leave it there,
    but a slam on the brakes. The host should note the true version, note that the
    guest's version is false, and grill the guest as to why they have given that
    false answer. Is it because they believe it? Is it hyperbole, something they
    will disown when pressed?

    Is it because they are crooked—are lying to the public intentionally, in order
    to mislead the public? That is a possibility. If a host is convinced that this
    is the case, the host has a responsibility to say so. If the host has
    insufficient facts at their disposal at the moment, there is tremendous public
    value in following up with the true facts, on air, in the next segment, or even
    the next week.

    Third: Do these interviews truly need to be conducted "live" in the case of
    guests with a history of disinformation? A mere 20-minute delay would allow
    network graphics departments to note, in the forms of chyrons and other text,
    when a guest has claimed something that is brazenly untrue.

    Every approach, however, is a means of accomplishing the same thing: creating a
    mechanism by which those that spout disinformation to the public can incur
    damage, and not just rewards. This is not the same as attempting to shame
    politicians into honest behavior; there is no such thing as political shame.
    Stop expecting it; stop presuming it. There is only advantage or disadvantage.
    Liars will stop lying in public when the penalties for public lying are
    consequential enough to outweigh the advantages of broadcasting the lie.

    Being publicly and rigorously branded as a source of false information would do
    that—not because it would impart shame, but because it would weaken the ability
    of the propagandist to be effective with the large majority of the
    semi-informed, nonrabidly-partisan public that is the propagandist's main
    target. Declining to provide a venue for past liars would do more damage still.

    Few in the top ranks of media journalism, either at the networks or in the pages
    of The New York Times, have any stomach for inflicting damage on those that lie
    to the public. It is a transactional relationship in which propagandists get a
    nationwide audience, and those that report what they say get column space or air
    time filled, and with the required spice of conflict. Meet the Press exists to
    broadcast the thoughts of the powerful, regardless of whether those thoughts are
    true or false and whether their notions are ethical or are horrific. Industry
    lobbyists are queried for talking points they formulate only upon receiving the
    necessary industry check; yesterday's advocate for state-sponsored torture can
    be tomorrow's valued expert on an assortment of other topics. The Sunday shows
    were issuing societal pardons for atrocities long before Trump set himself to
    the formal version.

    So none of us, I think, has any faith that the networks will work in the
    interests of our nation here, even as the very foundation of democracy itself is
    unthreaded. Democracy cannot exist if a nation's leaders are free to simply
    invent whichever version of reality best suits their own priorities and
    ambitions. We are seeing it happen: Republicans became convinced that the
    economy was bad in 2016 and was tremendous in 2017 because it was repeated
    endlessly, and with false evidence. The chocolate rations were down; now they
    are up. Russia committed an attack on our very government in 2016—or perhaps our
    real enemy, the opposition party, manufactured the entire scheme from a
    Ukrainian basement.

    This is an unraveling. It is historic, in the worst way: It is a national story
    with implications beyond those of any front page or Exclusive Special Report of
    the last four decades. It has the Chuck Todds of Washington wondering if, at
    long last, choreographed journalistic playdates with chummy falsehood-spewers
    have gone too far.

    But media paychecks depend on finding a way to save the nation that will not
    damage ratings, and it is as simple as that. Will calling out the new American
    propagandist movement be as entertaining, as titillating, as reputation-boosting
    in Washington as hosting and amplifying the propagandists is now? If the
    networks and papers cannot find a way to make it so, we can be absolutely
    certain they will not try.

    Iran retaliates for the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
    Mehdi Hasan, columnist for The Intercept, gives his strong opinion of the
    president’s decisions. Former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul also joins Joy Reid

    justify the use of force in killing Iranian general Qassem Soleimani without
    authorization by Congress, Sen. Ben Cardin says. Cardin and Joy Reid also
    discuss Secretary of State Mike Pompeo apparently sharing knowledge of the U.S.
    strike with a Russian foreign minister before Congress.

    their way onto the debate stage.’

  • Trump and Iran compared to Iraq media coverage and consequences

    Is War With Iran A Price Trump Is Willing
    To Pay To Buy The Silence Of
    John Bolton And Mike Pompeo?

    Image error
    An Interesting Opinion Piece at DailyKos: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/1/6/1909720/-Is-war-with-Iran-a-price-Trump-is-willing-to-pay-to-buy-the-silence-of-John-Bolton-and-Mike-Pompeo
    By Mark Sumner, Daily Kos Staff, Published Monday January 06, 2020 · 10:33 PM SEAST

    We have a chicken-and-egg problem. Only in this case, the chicken is Trump’s
    desire to wag the dog to distract attention from his impeachment by ramping up
    hostilities in the Middle East. The egg is … interesting. The egg is the
    long-standing desire of two of those most entangled in the Ukraine scandal to
    launch a war with Iran. This time, we know the egg came first.

    Both former national security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State
    Mike Pompeo are deeply involved in Trump’s efforts to extort political favors
    from Ukraine—so much so that Bolton is one of the four men sought by Senate
    Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as a witness for the Senate trial.

    As the scandal unfolded, it was Bolton who was the boss of both
    Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Dr. Fiona Hill. He was there for the meetings in
    which Ambassador Gordon Sondland made clear the connections between Trump’s
    demands and assistance to Ukraine. It was Bolton who both sent Vindman to see
    the National Security Council lead attorney and described events in Ukraine as a
    “drug deal.”

    Meanwhile, it was Mike Pompeo who was the actual boss of not just Sondland but
    also Ambassador Kurt Volker—two out of “three amigos.” It was Pompeo who stood
    aside when Rudy Giuliani smeared Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. It was Pompeo who
    turned a deaf ear to warnings from Ambassador William Taylor. It was Pompeo who
    repeatedly undermined his own department to support the extortion scheme.

    Truthful testimony from either man is the one thing that could easily turn
    Trump’s Senate hearing from a test of how quickly Mitch McConnell can fling down
    a gavel to a genuine threat of removal from office. In fact, either Bolton or
    Pompeo could call a press conference at any time and utterly sink Trump by
    simply filling in the very narrow blanks in what the public already knows about
    Trump’s Ukraine scheme. That means that they, along with acting chief of staff
    and OMB Director Mick Mulvaney, have tremendous power over Trump.

    Bolton and Pompeo have long agreed on one thing: They want a war with Iran. In
    giving them that war, was Trump reaching for the only distraction he knew would
    be big enough to keep anyone from looking too closely at the ever-strengthening
    case for his removal, or was everything that’s happened in Iraq over the last
    week the payoff for the silence of men who have Trump under their thumb? Was it
    both?

    As The Washington Post pointed out on Monday, Pompeo has been beating the war
    drum on Iran for years, and he was still beating that drum even as Trump
    prepared to let the missiles fly. Pompeo had already pushed for Trump to launch
    attacks against Iran and Shiite militia groups in the summer of 2019, following
    the downing of a U.S. drone. That time it didn’t work.

    But this time Trump was willing to launch a war because a single contractor had
    been killed. That’s despite the fact that there are an unknown number of
    contractors in Iraq and at least 1,569 had been killed prior to the death on
    Dec. 27. Despite the fact that there are thousands of contractors still in Iraq,
    a fact that’s often used to disguise the real scale of ongoing U.S. involvement
    when officials talk about “only 5,000” military personnel.

    What made this contractor the last straw? What could possibly have happened in
    the last six months of 2019 that made Trump so much more willing to go into a
    conflict with Iran? Well … impeachment happened. The testimony of multiple
    witnesses describing Trump’s scheme and his use of Rudy Giuliani to drive a
    campaign of corruption. That happened.

    More recently, what happened is that a number of emails appeared showing that
    Trump was continuously involved in withholding assistance to Ukraine. In fact,
    sources have made some of this information available in an unredacted form that
    makes it clear that Trump acted directly and repeatedly, over objections that
    what he was doing violated laws concerning the distribution of congressionally
    approved funding.

    There’s no doubt that Trump needed a distraction. Based on Trump’s willingness
    to engage in similar distractions in the past, and the fact that his Twitter
    account is littered with many, many pieces of evidence that Trump believed
    starting a war with Iran would be a boost for a politician seeking re-election,
    there may not be a need for any other reason—if it can be called reason—for his
    actions.

    Except … Bolton and Pompeo. It’s quite a damned coincidence that the people in a
    position to squeeze Trump got just what they wanted, just at the moment that
    best serves Trump.

    Trump’s stated reasons for launching a series of attacks against Shiite militia
    bases in Iraq and Syria was that an American contractor had been killed and four
    American soldiers injured. Injured “badly,” according to Trump. However, two
    days after the event, all four of the soldiers were back on duty, and two weeks
    later the public knows absolutely nothing about the contractor. It might be
    understandable that a name wasn’t released … but who was this person? Were they
    a doctor providing flu shots to Iraqi kids? Were they a planner helping with the
    local water supply? Or were they a Blackwater mercenary on site as “security”?
    It seems more than just odd that we don’t have that answer. That we, in fact,
    know almost nothing about the attack which supposedly formed the raison d'être
    for everything that has happened over the last two weeks.

    Trump’s stated reason for killing Iranian general Soleimani was an “imminent
    threat” generated by a plan in progress. Except, said Trump, “we caught him.”
    But that idea seemed little short of ludicrous from the beginning, and as Iraqi
    Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi made clear over the last two days, the “imminent
    threat” idea didn’t fit with either what Trump was telling him or what was
    actually happening on the ground in Iraq, where Soleimani seemed to be part of
    negotiations to actively de-escalate the cycle Trump fueled with the air strikes
    on Dec. 29. Faced with Abdul-Mahdi’s statements, even Pompeo seems to have
    dropped the idea that the strike against Soleimani thwarted some immediate
    threat, falling back on multiple variations of the idea that the general was
    simply a bad guy who had done bad things in the past and deserved to be killed.

    The excuses Trump has made for his actions don’t begin to hold water. But there
    are more genuine reasons for bringing the world to the brink of war than just a
    distraction.

    So which came first? Was it wagging the dog, or silencing the witnesses?
