Is there any precedent for these unpresident ial acts . Almost 74 million votes. I have a great panel of historians to discuss that, and the legacy of trumps term in office. An eyeopening discovery that may save your life one day. A way to edit the genetic code itself. A newly minted Nobel Laureate tells me about the promise of crispr. But first, heres my take. More than 150 million americans made their own personal decisions when they voted in this years election, but it is now the unenviable job of commentators to explain the meaning of those choices. At the broadest level its fair to say that the vote was a repudiation of donald trump. President s rarely lose their bids for reelection. Only five in the last 125 years and trump has won as few electoral votes as his nemesis, hillary clinton, did last time and he lost the popular vote by a larger margin than when jimmy carter defeated gerald ford in the wake of watergate. And yet its obvious that the country remains deeply divided. Aft
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
Is also poised to go on trial. Many advisers to President Biden say what were seeing tonight in these duelling stories is verification, a validation of his view that the government and the congress can do more than one thing. Now President Biden is talking up this new relief plan. It passed this key vote in the senate. It passed in the house. It is on its way. Take a look. If i have to choose between getting help right now to americans who are hurting so badly and getting bogged down in a lengthy negotiation or compromising on a bill thats up to the crisis, thats an easy choice. Im going to act fast. Act fast. And the major breakthrough here came with an assist from the person you see right there, an allnight Senate Debate followed by Vice President Harris Casting her first ever tiebreaking vote. This occurred after 5 30 a. M. This morning. The Vice President votes in the affirmative and the concurrent resolution as amended is adopted. Heres what you need to know. This is the blueprint
Donald trump rejects democrats requests for him to testify at his Impeachment Trial. The question is, will the senate issue a subpoena . And Johnson Johnson asks the fda to okay its singleshot Covid Vaccine. With demand high and supply still short, the question is, how long will it take to get this third u. S. Vaccine on the market . Its Way Too Early for this. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early, the show that has had plenty of practice factchecking false claims. I am kasie hunt on this friday, february 5th. Well start with the news. Well begin with the unprecedented move by House Democrats to strip congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene from her committees and her pretty unprecedented comments as a congresswoman. It came after house gop leadership failed to take action in response to her inflammatory social media posts and sprea ing violent Conspiracy Theories. 11 republicans joined democrats in backing greenes removal from her committees. 199 republican lawmakers voted no. Speak
Mccarthy and the rest of the Republican Leadership knew what they were getting into with Marjorie Taylor greene in the beginning. She had a primary. There was, i think, a Brain Surgeon she was running against but they didnt want to interfere. That was the time to say, you know what . We will leave it up to the voters of georgia, but should she come to washington, she is not going to be given much opportunity because we do have standards, and once you stalk the children who lived through a mass shooting, thats where we can draw the line. Lets start there, you know. Amanda carpenter. Amanda, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thanks, don. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Thank you so much for joining us. So the scene at the capitol today or tonight i should say, beautiful, stately, mournful, honoring a fallen hero, officer Brian Sicknick who lost his life defending our democracy on january 6th. Just think about the desecration there just a month ago when a mob of insurrectionists trie
