Tonight whether Republican Civil War is over no matter what senator ben sasse saying. And then Jared Bernstein on why democrats are ignoring experts who blew the response to the last recovery. Is bidens new progressive Foreign Policy here to stay . Is the socalled Bullhorn Lady is taken into custody, the Cell Phone Surveillance helping to track down insurrectionists. All in starts right now. Good evening from washington, d. C. Im Mendi Hasan In for chris hayes. The former president having lost and inspiring an insurrection is facing his second Impeachment Trial next week and his successor is telling cbs news tonight that his predecessor cannot be trusted with the nations top secret intelligence. Let me ask you something you do have oversight of as president. Should former President Trump still receive Intelligence Briefings . I think not. Why not . Because of his erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection. Youve called him an existential threat, youre called him dangerous, youve ca
Really interesting to see the Vice President cast that vote before dawn. Well, certainly she leaves the u. S. Senate and she has to be back in that chair to break the tie. This isnt the first time youll see her breaking ties in an effort to try and pass the president s covid relief package. Look, this was a major moment on the senate floor, and they started this entire process yesterday at 2 30 in the afternoon. Then they had 15 hours of what is known up here as a voterama. Its a lot tougher because members are voting every 10 or 15 minutes on different amendments that folks are bringing to the floor. Its really an effort by the Minority Party to try to put the majority in tough spots by having to take very hard votes they can then later use on the campaign trail. And that works both ways. Both parties using this process to their advantage. But heres why it all matters. This unlocks joe bidens ability to pass a covid relief bill with just democratic votes. What youll see in the next co
Authorization for Emergency Use. That means options when it comes to vaccinations. Thats good. At the same time, republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene is holding her own News Conference one day after she was kicked off her Committee Assignments for supporting over years violent rhetoric, dangerous disinformation. We begin with the economic news. Christine romans, 49,000 or so new jobs. Yesterday we had nearly 800,000 new unemployment claims. Do the math for us there. Where does it stand in terms of all these lost jobs . Theres no historical precedent for this. You had 14. 8 Million People who told the government this month that they didnt have a job to go back to. The business they worked for was closed or was barely open but not allowed to give them hours. And a quarter of the people working say theyre working from home. The virus has completely changed what is usually a dynamic labor force. This 49,000 jobs created was mostly in professional business services, going back to
And one that cowers in fear of its apparently extremist base. The sad truth is that democrats in congress had to discipline Margie Q Greene because House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy was unwilling to do so himself. Mccarthy was willing to hold a Secret Ballot on the fate of republican congresswoman liz cheney, his own third in command who received a resounding if anonymous show of support to remain in Republican Leadership last night but he couldnt muster the courage to reject the qanon congresswoman. With this vote tonight, house republicans, many of whom stood up and gave Greene A Standing Ovation in a caucus meeting yesterday will now be defined as supporting someone who backed calls for assassinating Speaker Nancy Pelosi and threatened the nonwhite Women Members of the squad in social media ads. She promoted an antisemetic and Islam Mow Phobic video that had been reportedly circulating among neonazis. It claimed a, quote, unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and zionist supre
Former Vice President mike pence will join the organization as a distinguished Visiting Fellow Pt what exactly is that job . What exactly is he going to do there . Its kind of beside the point. But heritage is very excited to have him. Working together with the former Vice President , heritage will continue to support and defend our Policy Accomplishments while also fighting back against a socialist agenda pushed by those on the left. Thats what mike pence is going to be doing. Hes going to be fighting socialists. Full timish. On a visiting basis. Congratulations, mr. Pence. Heres an unexpectedly awkward thing, though. The Heritage Foundation in this announcement today repeatedly describes their new hire as the former Vice President and, indeed, mr. Pence yesterday unveiled new letterhead proclaiming that he has opened an office now which he is calling the office of the former Vice President. The reason that is surprisingly awkward right now is that no matter what he does with his post
