Car in the indictment has just become very very dark. We will get to that later in this hour tonight. But it is mentioned in the indictment that there was a car accident, but it doesnt say in the indictment that she actually killed someone. We have now learned all of that just today. That story, the more we learn about it, the more we hear the details, it gets more depressing and distressing. I cant imagine that it gets worse from here. This is as bad as any such story has been. Well get to that later in the hour. It is a gruesome chapter in their life. I will be watching, lawrence. Thank you, alex. Thank you. Today, the day after a judge issued a gag order directly to donald trump, who was sitting right in front of the judge in a new york courtroom, donald trump decided to leave that courtroom and leave town. Thats how well that gag order worked. New york states Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the civil fraud case against donald trump, told the news media the donald trump
This unusual day in the House Of Representatives. We will figure out a way to talk about this too, with congressman james clyburn, who had every right in the world to think he had seen it all until today. Nobody has seen it all, apparently, with this House Republican conference. Unusual is one word for it, my friend. One word for it. Thank you, alex. Have a great show. Matt gaetz, the 42yearold republican congressman who overthrew the speaker of the house today, had not been born yet when republican Ronald Reagan began running against government. Ronald reagan was the first republican president to be rhetorically and only rhetorically Anti Government. The last republican president , elected before reagan, richard knutson, was a very conservative republican. But he believed in the governments capacity to solve problems. Nixon willingly signed the legislation creating the Environmental Protection agency. Richard nixon pushed a Health Care Bill in congress that was structurally similar to
President of the United States that was just smacked down by a judge in new york, to the historic chaos unfolding in the House Of Representatives, where Kevin Mccarthy was just ousted as Speaker Of The House. And we are going to get to all of that this evening but to understand how we got here, we need to go back exactly 1000 days ago. To january 6th, 2021, when a violent mob stormed the u. S. Capitol. In the wake of that deadly attack, minority leader Kevin Mccarthy took to the house floor and said this. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. That moment was the closest Kevin Mccarthy ever came to pulling himself out from under the heel of his partys hard right base. It did not last long. After that rebuke of donald trump, mr. Mccarthy spent each and every day paying penance, trying to work his way back into the good graces of the farright. Less than three weeks l
Lawrence. Good evening ali. And i am wondering if Dianne Feinstein looking down from above and heard it Claire Mccaskill saying we only had just one, i wonder what her response would. Be a caveat. Respect they just had one martini over two hours. There you go. If they had more than that, thats fine as well. They were entitled to it. They were ground breakers. Alex, have a good weekend. You too, ali. With 25 hours to go, the countries on the verge of another republicanled shutdown of congress. Kevin mccarthy has no plan. And the snow plan thats likely to stop the government from grinding to a halt. The chaos caucus, not the speaker, is in charge tonight. The house has gone home. Republicans have scheduled votes for tomorrow, but so far none of the votes that they have held have brought us closer to any resolution. So, barring some unexpected innervation intervention, at 12 01 sunday, some important parts of the government will shut down entirely, and essential parts of government will b

So, barring some unexpected innervation intervention, at 12 01 sunday, some important parts of the government will shut down entirely, and essential tasks of government will be carried on by millions of federal employees and military personnel, without pay. The shutdown will happen, because a fully republican controlled house has failed in its constitutional responsibilit
