in this country. i m sure you are tired of it. clearly president biden is tired of. it people across the political aisle are exhausted. when it came up with the omicron title for the variant, was next marvel villains, atlanta s variant. i am over it. but the pandemic is not over. and unfortunately at every possible turn republican parties seem to want to side with the pandemic against the american people. they don t want to wear masks, don t want to get vaccinated, don t want to get tested to not spread the virus amongst themselves and their own communities. this party has chosen spectacle as a part of its platform. he has chosen trolling us it shows in performance art and theater as its platform, and not service to the country. whether we can still come together other than our shared sense of exhaustion, i don t know. now they are chanting outlets, immaturity on top of immaturity. it makes me exhausted even more than covid already has, to be honest.
official besides mr. clark, were going to resign in mass if he was made the acting attorney general. and donald trump backed down. that was on january 2nd. now you have him coming before this committee and signaling that he is going to invoke the fifth amendment. the committee will go through, and they will ask him question and after question after question, and he will need to, if he intends to invoke the fifth amendment over and over again. and this raises the question of and the appearance here, what does it look like when you have somebody that donald trump wanted to make the attorney general of the united states saying that if he answers basic questions about what he was doing and what he was proposing to the president, that he would be potentially giving evidence that would expose him to criminal prosecution. i think a very big moment

country where we do, indeed, have winter arriving and a new variant arriving. and by the way, the white house is preaching to two distinct countries. pretty much right now both of them to baratunde s point have no taste no, appetite for new restrictions. the countries are as succinct as baratunde is dressed tonight. baratunde emailed me before the show and said, look casual. here i am. you guys looking terrific, and i m just a shrub on here late at night. just to baratunde s point and the point made on the floor of the house, it s extraordinary. the republican party after president biden made that statement today and asked for patriotism in a very reasonable, modest steps to deal with this, the variant, which is quite
just ten for size, baratunde, why and the floor of the house. it s really extraordinary. [inaudible] modest i would say steps to deal with this omicron variant, which is quite threatening. the republicans insisted on one vote, one amendment to be voted on in the senate for the resolution. it was prohibiting federal funding for any vaccine mandate. not just a vaccine mandates for private businesses, but president biden has imposed. but even the vaccine mandates that the federal government itself without force employees and military. it s not just the kind of libertarian, oh, the government should the government shouldn t require its own employees, military, to be vaccinated.
