top six bucks this summer and stocks getting rocked with new warnings in america, are we headed for a deep recession. and parents still very frustrated that the president waited until yesterday evening to directly deal with the baby formula shortage. the end result to all this only 25% of americans think the country is headed in the right direction. top republican kevin mccarthy says it has to do with a lack of leadership. everything this president has touched, he has failed at but he has made america weaker in that process. and we ve watched the democrats inside congress and senate mirror those same decisions. but the bad headlines and disgrunt lea voters are not stopping some in the media from making this claim. you embrace the biden agenda, it s going to get you far. you know, there s a lot to run on here. the economy s doing well. i realize inflation is an issue. the biden administration is trying to address but we have record job growth under this administration. w
he would maybe be the best person to have. i mean, how mad can you get that joe biden? and a remarkable scene inside the capital, warehouse members protested senators on their way to vote down a federal right to abortion. all in starts right now. good evening everyone, i m ayman mohyeldin, in new york, in for chris hayes. the ex president knew the conclusion he wanted. he wanted to overturn the results of a free and fair election. he wanted to install himself as the winner. he just needed to manufacture a way to get there. and that is where john eastman comes into the picture. eastman, of course, is a lawyer, and a die hard trump ally who was the architect behind much of the attempted coup and in fact he even spoke at trump s january 6th rally at the lips, the one where trump incited the insurrection. all we are demanding of vice president pence is an afternoon at 1:00, we are in he let the legislatures of the states look into this, so that we get to the bottom of it, a
insights. i am ayman mohideen in new york. don t forget to catch me sundays at nine. with my good friend ali vouch. good, evening ali. good evening, my friend. we ll see you again tomorrow. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. the winner of the 2017 2016 election was donald trump. you will recall that while he won the electoral college, he did not win the popular vote. and in fact, in the weeks after election day, the margin of his popular vote loss kept growing. every day, every week, hillary clinton s lead in the popular vote kept increasing. it was one and a half million. it was 1.7 million. it was 2 million. ultimately, hillary clinton would win the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes. and the reason for this was california. you see, california famously takes a very long time to tally all its ballots because there are a lot of ballots there, for one thing. and as they counted their ballots, hillary clinton s popular vote margin kept increasing. this
insurrection. all we are demanding of vice president pence is an afternoon at 1:00, we are in he let the legislatures of the states look into this, so that we get to the bottom of it, and americans will find out whether they have control of the government or not. we no longer live in a self governing republic if we cannot get the answer to this question. this is bigger than president trump. it is a very essence of our republican former government and it has to be done. and anybody that is not willing to stand up and do it does not deserve to be in the office. all right, so, that is what eastman was saying publicly. but more notably is the work that he summoned was doing behind the scenes. he altered the now infamous coup memo, where he actually urged then vice president mike pence pence to literally throw at the results from seven states that joe biden had one before he, quote, gavels president trump as reelected. in order for that scheme to have work, trump and eastman n
Votes, in fact, johnson is the first to get every republican vote since john boehner in 2011. So who is he . He is a staunch social and religious conservative from louisiana in his fourth term in congress. Hes cosponsored a 20week abortion ban and voted for a National Abortion ban, and he served on one of Donald Trumps impeachment defense teams. But what he is most known for is not just refusing to certify the 2020 election but being the quote, architect of the objections. As the New York Times reports, quote, in december of 2020, mr. Johnson collected signatures for a legal brief in support of a texas lawsuit attempting to throw out the results of four Battle Ground states won by mr. Biden. The Supreme Court ultimately rejected that suit, but not before mr. Johnson convinced more than 60 of House Republicans to sign on to the effort. He did so by telling them the initiative had been personally blessed by mr. Trump, and the former president was anxiously awaiting to see who in congress
