Good day from msnbc World Headquarters in new york. Welcome, everyone, to weekends with alex witt. Developing this hour, President Bidens 1. 9 trillion plan is one step closer to becoming a reality. In a new excerpt from cbs news, the president giving a new insight into where key provisions like Minimum Wage Hike Stand as lawmakers work to get the bill to his desk. Its somewhere between an individual making up to 75 and phasing out and a couple making up to 150 and phasing out. But im wide open on what that is. You also want to raise the minimum wage to 15. Is that something you would be willing to negotiate on to get republican support . Apparently thats not going to occur because of the roles in the senate. Youre saying it will not be in it . My guess is it will not be in it. Today marks one month since the attack on the u. S. Capitol left five people dead. The Impeachment Trial will start just days from now. Trumps defense team confirming he will not testify under oath. Congressman
Good day to all of you from msnbc World Headquarters here in new york. Welcome to weekends with alex witt. We begin with President Biden saying donald trump should not receive Intelligence Briefings. In a new interview with cbs, biden breaking with tradition, saying trump has no need for those intel briefings now that hes out of office. Should former President Trump still receive Intelligence Briefings . I think not. Why not . Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection. I just think that theres no need for him to have that Intelligence Briefing. What value is giving him an Intelligence Briefing . What impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and Say Something . Also in that interview, the president says he will not budge on the 1,400 stimulus checks but maybe taking a more targeted approach on exactly who will receive those checks. I will talk with Congressman Ro about covid relief in just a moment. Today marks one month since the attack of capit
Through loud and clear, if it hasnt already, the extent of the January 6th Riot On Capitol Hill and the former president s role in all of it. An Impeachment Trial Set to start in just three days time, but Donald Trumps lawyer says that he has found the real villains in all of this. The democrats. Theres an awful lot of tape of cities burning and courthouses being attacked and federal agents being assaulted by rioters in the street cheered on by democrats throughout the country, and many of them in washington using, really, the most inflammatory rhetoric its possible to use. When you have the president of the United States give a speech and he says you should peacefully make your thinking known to the people in congress, hes All Of A Sudden a villain. So, while the previous president s preparing to defend the indefensible, the current one is trying to solve the crisis that he left behind. From new efforts to get more vaccines to all americans to the push for covid relief, President Bide
Didnt hear an apology. So no apology last night, he says. And certainly from what we heard today of her on the floor, none today. She spoke in the chamber and she didnt apologize. Well get to that in just a second. But first, before we go any further on her excuses and finger pointing we just want to pause for a second and just let you listen to her words and views that got her and all of us to this point. These are her words. Its her bigotry. And these are her Conspiracy Theories. Her words, her bigotry and her lies. Many americans are like blind sheep, just going through life not paying attention. There is an islamic invasion into our Government Offices right now. How do you get avid gun owners and people that support the Second Amendment to give up their guns . Maybe you accomplish that by performing a mass shooting into a crowd. You make them scared. You make them victims. And you change their mindset. The socalled plane that crashed into the pentagon. Its odd, theres never any evi
Of any honest show of contrition as a member of that party that once claimed to stand for personal responsibility. The vote was 230 to 199 to strip her of her seats on the budget and education and labor committees. 11 republicans joining the democratic majority including illinois congressman adam kinzinger, who was not impressed by what she said at a Republican Party conference last night. Kevin mccarthy would have us believe she gave some serious apology. What did you hear . Yeah, so i dont like to go into a ton of detail from conference how about some . Ill tell you this. Yeah, ill give you some. Which is i didnt hear i didnt hear an apology. So no apology last night, he says. And certainly from what we heard today of her on the floor, none today.
