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
Im erin burnett. Out front tonight, the breaking news. Shes out. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene has officially been removed from both the education and budget committees. Those Key Committees. But only 11 republicans made a move for her to lose that position. Only 11 Republicans Holding her accountable for her fringe Conspiracy Theories and dangerous rhetoric. These 11 include Adam Kinzinger and brian fitzpatrick. They joined 219 democrats who Vote Today Strip Greene from her assignments object the education and budget committees. Let me just do the math for you. What that means is that 199 republicans looked the other way when it came to punishing greene for her bigoted and deranged comments and views. They represent nearly every state. They include Kevin Mccarthy and liz cheney, the number three House Republican. These elected officials gave greene and these comments their stamp of approval. The socalled plane that crashed into the pentagon, its odd, there is never any evidence
Await the hearing, what critics call Catch And Release. We have specifics tonight from los angeles. Customs and Border Protection says because of that steady increase in apprehensions, mexicos reluctance to accept more deported families and covert restrictions here, some facilities are at maximum safe capacity. Therefore, it says, per longstanding practice, the Long Term Solutions are not possible. Some migrants will be processed for removal, provided a notice to appear and released into the u. S. To await a future immigration hearing. This is needed to avoid keeping migrants beyond what court orders allow, right now the Border Patrol is stopping some 3,500 migrants per day trying to enter the u. S. A former dhs director chad wolf calls it a perfect storm likely to get worse as smugglers and families exploit the situation. Its a Significant Development they arent taking certain family units back under title 42, that is very concerning because if youre just doing that in one or two sect
Extremists and conspiracy cultists are about an mouse and violence. For a party that is consumed with division, with defining us versus them, welsh heres your chance. Us are those who live under the laws and intolerance of one another. This is them. Do you see them . Do you see what they did . This is the only them to worry about in american society. So as we watch a party in search for its soul, the answer is cloudy because we already know what the man who many of them feel loyalty to, the former president , wants to become of these people and from them. Hes on trial for his incessant incitement for the rangry to tae action, to fight for the election to be overturned. Before anybody trying to make it about something else, remember this remember what you are seeing. We have never seen anything like it. It is the worst, period. And they are our worst, period. Too many have hidden from the truth about trumps intentions for too long. January 6th was the price of that. The same people who
Loony lies, conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country. Somebody that suggested perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon On 9 11, that horrifying School Shootings were prestaged, that the clintons crashed jfk jr. s airplane is not living in reality. This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American Families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen the party. Now, i would wager every one of you agrees with what i just said. But you have not heard this from the majority of gopers in congress. Here is the question. Is that about to change . Why might it change . Because i just read a quote from senator Mitch Mcconnell. Hes the guy who just said that. He just said it. The media is amazed at his amazing candor. Seriously . One, he is stating the obvious. Two, the only amazing thing is how long it took. And, yet, relatively, he is ahead of the curve. Because what is truly amazing is there is a retrumplican who actually thinks democrats drink th
