price of prescription drugs in order to negotiate, which would actually help a lot of people who need drugs. also raise taxes on corporations as well as rich high-earning individuals who the administration and manchin agree can. kate bedingfield making time at a very busy moment. thanks for being here. of course. thanks for having me. absolutely. our setup was quicker than usual, because we d be quoting the white house, but we have the white house, so bottom line, one, what does this all do? and two, the big question, how does this president get the senator, manchin, back on board? well, what is this all do? does an enormous amount for families all across the country. it tackles the climate crisis in a meaningful and urgent and frankly historic way. it s going to lower the cost of prescription drugs, the cost of health-care, and it s going to rewrite the tax code so corporations have to pay their fair share, and people making under $400,000 a year are not going to see a
hutchinson. we ve seen them subpoena mike pence s aides. we ve seen the doj go forward, and i think a lot of that some of this was happening before the hearing started, in fairness, but i think a lot of the public pressure on the doj now is because the january 6th committee has done an excellent job, so hats off to bennie thompson, adam schiff, that lady from wyoming. are you doing shout-outs? i just think they ve done a great job and deserve some credit. a lot of time wes do the democrats in disarray story. the democrats and the wyoming lady, they have done a great job. say her name. say her name. ms. cheney. thank you. and mr. kinzinger. as promised, ms. wiley? he s quite accurate that the justice department was a critical audience for this hearing.
chief of staff mark meadows and for steve bannon. that is a huge development. we ll be covering it in depth because it shows a committee looking into what exactly the president and his advisers crucially were plotting for that day. although we should also say at a certain level we already know. donald trump wanted to overturn the election. i mean, for a man with little in the way of constancy, he s been consistent about that. anyone that didn t want to do that is a sworn enemy of his. in fact, yesterday a very funny thing happened amidst a news cycle dominated by the familiar dems in disarray story. donald trump started issuing a flurry of statements like he used to do on twitter in the middle of the night before he got booted. they don t sort of capture the national attention anymore, which is all for the good. issued a bunch of statements blasting just about everyone in the republican party to remind them he is still out for blood. while republicans are not in power now, they have a
here, why didn t we know about this, why were we caught off guard so it s a big problem for them. this just feels so different from the typical the white house is in disarray story, because this gets to what i think the wall street journal, rupert murdoch owned, more conservative-leaning editorial board argues this morning and it s this. trump is compiling a record that increases the likelihood that few will believe him during a genuine crisis. trump should worry that americans will stop believing anything he says. what is the danger here? for the american people, whether you voted for him, whether you like him, but you need to be ail to believe him in a moment of crisis. think about the backdrop of this north korea negotiations just as an example. rudy giuliani, you know, there s this argument that trump and giuliani have wanted to take a more aggressive posture against robert mueller. the multiple television interviews are indicative of that. but in doing so, you set up all thi
god, republicans are in disarray story, and you ve got everybody just feeding this. i know it s driving some republicans crazy. but it s just sitting out there. becoming a governor problem. it s a goving problem. it s a i think precursor to what we ll see for the nomination fight in 2016. this battle for how much lib terrorism do republicans want in their party. when rand paul and mike lee and ted cruise all got elected, we knew that they were going to sort of not go along to get along. i will say for myself, i didn t think it would get to this point. they were going to all of them you had so many republican senators, includinin mitch mcconnell, whispering, they re going to be loud mouths but they re not going to have much of an impact. i think you ve seen that. it s been interesting to see their different approaches. with rand paul, he s supporting mcconnell. he is still kind of warm to the establishment in some areas.
