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
Americans had already died from covid and we all knew it was going to get so, so much worse. The future was looking then, and would turn out to be, incredibly grim. On that same day, april 11, a woman in missouri said publicly she had made an important discovery, one that if true, could turn the whole pandemic around. This missouri woman, her name is Patricia Derges, was licensed in missouri as an assistant physician. She had done med school at a school in the caribbean but she hadnt been accepted into a residency. She wasnt a full doctor. The rules say a person with midlevel professional accreditation like hers can only do so if they do it in collaboration with a fully accredited doctor. Theres nothing wrong with being a physician assistant, theres lots of room in our system for lots of different licensed professionals. But i think its safe to say that april 11, just about a month into the coronavirus pandemic, this is not the person you would expect to be announcing that in fact she
Pandemic. The Biden Administration is deploying 1,110 active duty service members, including teams from army, air force, navy, and marines to support five fema covid19 Vaccination Centers across the country. The first team set to arrive in california in ten days. The Biden White House also says it will soon utilize Defense Production Act in several ways to procure equipment and supplies for pfizer to make additional vaccine, to tap Six Companies to make 61 million at home covid19 tests by end of summer, and built factories to produce Raw Materials needed for nitrile surgical gloves. A billion pairs a month. All of that means jobs. All of that should have been done a year ago. The Biden Administration also isnt ruling out using Defense Production Act to aid in production of Johnson Johnsons one shot vaccine which is currently awaiting Emergency Use Authorization from the fda. That should come any day now. The federal government is set to ship 10. 5 million vaccine doses a week for the n
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
The biden American Rescue plan. The next will be recovery. We call it reconciliation. Theres nothing in reconciliation that precludes republicans from voting for it. Good morn, everybody. Im tiffany cross, and we have a lot of news to get to this morning on Cross Connection, so strap in. President bidens 1. 9 trillion rescue plan is on a fast track to approval after the house and Senate Passed a Budge Bill Yesterday and democrats pretty much tossed the deuces to the republicans warning they maybepass them altogether. Its good news for struggling americans who cant even afford to put gas in the car or go to a job they no longer have. Meanwhile capitol hill is preparing for Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial to kick off on tuesday. And at least as of this morning, it looks unlikely that a minimum of 17 republicans will vote with the dems to convict trump. Now, the irony doesnt even seem lost on them that as they make these bow was calls for unity, theyre increasingly unwilling to hol
