what are you waiting for? since kyrsten sinema was first sworn in as a senator in january of 2019 she has been exceedingly busy. in march of 2019 she ran an iron man triathlon in new zealand which she trained for by running half marathons in her home state of arizona. then two months later she ran a marathon in california with a fast enough time to qualify for the boston marathon. now, this is, let s be clear, exceedingly impressive. now, this june unfortunately she broke her right foot while running a marathon in washington state. but it s not just running that keeps her busy. she is teaching two classes this fall at arizona state university including one titled developing grants and fund-raising. last summer she worked a two-week stint as a paid intern at a california winery. none of these activities are inherently bad at all. in fact, they all sound great. time intensive but great,
suffer the same fate. but clearly, because mr. bannon took former trump s advice not to cooperate, and it s well documented that he was part and parcel to creating what happened. so we look forward to our day on next tuesday. the public is invited. it will be a business meeting of the committee. you will see all the information we have available. and we will put this before the united states house of representatives, ask for a criminal referral. if we get the votes, the speaker will then transmit that document to merrick garland, and he has to do his job. i m going put up for the audience. this some of the people who have been subpoenaed so far. steve steve has already claimed he is going with executive privilege, even though, let s be
what axios said s that part of slow motion insurrection. he is an suctionist, so he can distance himself from the flag that flew over the scene that became the final resting spot of police officers and others. but he himself was for the insurrection. well, let s be clear, part of the power of this moment is that the flags that were flown by the insurrectionists, some of those were used to beat police officers and try to kill them. so that makes the that is what the moment is about. i bet you every dollar in my pocket that young kin s attitude was as soon as he heard bannon and trump were going to be at this rally that s where his campaign drew the line, we are not going to go. this is where the distancing line will be. we are not going to go to that rally. they thought it would be enough. then the flag showed up. and the flag showed up, and the video was there. and people pledging allegiance
together until some tiny percentage of people, just a handful of people in the house, pushed her to get an arbitrary deadline on the books. so i understand she s got a tough you know, she had a tough hand to play there. but, ari, let s be clear, this is the president s agenda. i know the speaker wants to deliver on that and i know that all of us, 96% of democrats in the house and the senate, agree with we want to get this done and we were ready to get it done at the original $3.5 trillion build back better act that we have. unfortunately, two senators don t agree with us so we ve got to negotiate with them and get everyone onboard. yeah, those two senators pretty known by now, manchin and sinema. the reports came out that manchin had a private earlier number that he was pushing schumer on. sinema has been really quite reclusive. and bernie sanders has had it. i mean he s totally had it and he is sort of publicly urging and pleading with them to at least say what they want. take a l
after all let s be clear, a malicious agent against democracy. i don t think there s any other way to put it. and yet donald trump was much a symptom of underlying problems is the ever was a source. part of this entire project was about my own experience and coming back to this country, after a decade abroad, and realizing, even before donald trump was in office, that people were breaking faith with the basic institutions that define us as a democratic culture. they were not believing that the courts were going to deliver justice to people, they did not believe there was a system that was going to deliver racial justice and fairness. and fundamentally, they have lost faith in the idea that a child born in the united states was going to be able to out-earn their parents. that s not an abstract fact, in 1940, a child born in this country ran a 90% chance of our earning your parents, today that number is less than half as much. so i said i have to go to places that i know, places where i
