Cherished hallmark of our democracy. Sir, are you at all afraid of taking your oath outside . No. Given what happened. No, im not afraid of taking the oath outside. Weve been getting briefed.

Tonight on all in first it was covid truthers, then election truthers, and now a new rightwing conspiracy. The windmills failed like the silly Fashion Accessories they are and people in texas died. Tonight the Energy Disaster in texas and why selling lies in the face of disaster is bad for the country. Then, pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman on the democratic opportunity with a divided gop. House impeachment manager joe neguse on his covert appeal to Mitch Mcconnell. And as vaccinations ramp up, why the people that need it most are still getting the least, when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. The central truth about american political life, our shared collective life at this moment, as we move into the biden years, is that a huge portion of the country, tens of millions of people is being lied to constantly.
