It is pretty incredible. Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. On the day Republican Party kicking Liz Cheney from telling the truth. The first time a republican leader is being removed in modern history. Kevin mccarthy came out to speak and he said something unbelievable even by his current standards. I dont think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the president ial election. Thats all over with. Does he think that we are living on mars. Does he think that we have not been paying attention to anything he have said or his peers have said for months and months and months . President trump won this election so everyone whos listening do not be quiet. Do not be silent about this. We cant allow this to happen before our very eyes. If i believe there are serious questions with respect to the president ial election, i believe those questions exist. We know that this has been a stolen election. An election that was stolen as a consequence of illegal last minute changes to the rules. I dont know how you can convince me that President Trump did not win this thing based on all the things you see. This is incredible. Does he have a serious case of amnesia or a mental condition. Did he have 147 republicans in the House And Senate voted to overturn State Election results even after the deadly Insur Insurrection . We know it was massive fraud. It was a rigged election. This election was stolen. This election was rigged. Cheney refused to accept that lie or allowed others around her to speak it. Thats why she has lost her position. Shes been purged by mccarthy and the Republican Party. She in fact is not the only republican whos being punished by the gop for speaking this truth. Republicans from Coast To coast have been suffering a terrible fate. Susan collins and Cindy Mccain and kinzinger, missouris republican Party Executive Director forced to resign after getting threatening messages because she refused to push the lie. Theyre all getting hit. This is trump tightening his grip on the Republican Party. How far will this Purity Test go . Whos next . Jim acosta is outfront live in washington. It is really incredible that Kevin Mccarthy, a smart individual would say what he said today given the reality of the situation. So you cover fed four years the trumps presidency, saying something thats true thats a lie and somehow people run along with it and tells them how great he looks. You are talking to your sources towed in the trump world. What are you hearing . It is another day of cancel culture of Donald Trump. Talking to my sources, people who talked to the former president and people advised Donald Trumps political team. I talked to one Adviser Today who says this is about retribution. Disrupt wants to get revenge against Liz Cheney and the other nine house republicans voted to impeach during the impeachment saga earlier this year. Until he gets revenge of all the ten republicans, hes not going to rest. A trumps adviser who says there are people who advised the former president who dont believe the Big Lie himself. This adviser went onto say and doubts that Donald Trump believes the Big Lie and so whats going on here . Take a listen to what Kevin Mccarthy said earlier today. You were referring to earlier today. Nobody is questioning the legitimacy of the election. Thats Worlds Class Gas lighting. It sounds similar to what Adam Kinzinger said. Why are all of these republicans doing this and going along with this . Why are they going along the country and telling republicans out there dont believe the Big Lie. This is about fear and power. As long as these republicans fear Donald Trump and fear that he can come out and get behind the challenger in a House Election or senate election, Donald Trump has power and until that dynamic changes, the Big Lie lives on. Erin. It is incredible. To your point if mccarthy does not believe it which again hes an intelligent person. Hes still blowing air into it and amplifying it. Jim, thank you very much. I want to go now to the governor of new jersey, Kristine Todd Wittman and our senior political analyst, john avalon. So now President Trump has come out with a statement naming you, some other republicans in the letter calling you all, quote, Rhino Losers who voted for biden. Whats your response to all this . I won two elections. I didnt lose my reelection, i won it in a democratic state. You know it is pointless to get in this, it does not do anybody any good. The real damage is being done here by knowing republicans continue to talk about the Big Lie because it is undermining the Publics Confidence in our voting system. Thats what sets us apart from the rest of the world. You look back at our history of some contentious election, take Ken Kennedy Nixon And Bush gore and at the end of the Day Everybody extends aside and accepts the outcome of the election. We were able to do peaceful transition of power and we saw what happened on January 6th and those continued to talk about it. We have something very, very different. That was an attempt to overthrow the government. Make no mistake about it. They were trying to stop the counting of the electoral ballots and that would have undone the constitutional responsibility to respect the individual voters. So john, the minority leader, Kevin Mccarthy, quote, Anything Anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the president ial election. You have the person, the former president this week on his blog. He posts, the major michigan Election Fraud Case filed a Bomb Shell Pleading claiming votes is massive and determinative. Thats what he feels he needs to do to keep his caucus together, to buy into the Big Lie and feed the fear. And think of the wording he used, i dont think is he not paying attention and does he not know what his caucus is saying and members of his Awe Kaus said the denial of the insurrection of the capitol. This is dangerous stuff to see someone whos a leader of a party believed he can trade on Fear And Hate to gain power even especially if he does not believe it. Hes lying. Hes bought into the Big Lie and to say that hes not aware of this stuff is an attempt to change the page. The Kevin Mccarthy is aware of this stuff. Hes well aware of this stuff. Acutely aware as you pointed out. It truly is and taking for granted of The System, The System will certainly hold for his own rise in power. Governor, according to the washington post, there was a meeting, april gop. The national congressional Committee Staff talked about Polling And Core battleground district. They left out some crucial information though. They got all the polling information, this information was bad for trump that showed us Unfavorable Rating were 15 points higher. They showed that nearly twice as many voters had a strongly unfavorable view of him as having a favorable one. This is pretty stunning that the Gop And Congress is still behind trump. Could they be blowing it and making a mistake here on the reading of the base . I think they are and they are not. They are, the majority of the republicans they are not in the sense, the only thing they worry about is primaries. Thats where Donald Trumps Base Wor World comes out. The need to be heard and vote. We have not done a good job and we left it to the extreme who have come out and chosen the candidates for us for the fall. But, thats why and thats what they are counting on and looking at. Theyre looking at whos going to turn out and the Way Redistricting is going again. It is going to reenforce both attitude on both sides. Neither sides have to worry about the general election. It is only about the primaries and that extreme Base And Trump supporters know that his people will come out in high Water And Hell be there. It is a question whether those or the rest of us who care about democracy and our constitution and the Countrys Future will also come on. John, Congresswoman Cheney just spoke to nbc news, let me play a clip of what we just got in. Are you the leader of opposition in exile right now in the Republican Party . I intend to be the leader of one of the leaders in a fight to help to restore our party and a fight to bring our party back to substance and principles and a fight to make clear that we wont participate in a really dangerous effort thats underway. A lot of people frame this as a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. This is the Opening Savo in that battle. Are we many battles into a losing war. We are deep into this, the war is not lost. The folks, those folks representing the souls of the Republican Party as it stood, the party of lincoln. Cults ultimately fade. The issue here is democracy. Liz cheney is about conservative as he gets. This is about ideology. This is about whether you buy into a Lie And Democracy itself is at stake. Thank you both very much, i appreciate your time. Next, republicans using an important Hearing Today trying to whitewash what actually happened on January 6th. You know if you didnt know the footage was a video from january the 6th, you would think it was a normal tourist visit. That was like not comedy. Live pictures as Gas Stations across the East Coast are running dry. I am going to talk to the mayor of North Carolina where 70 of Gas Stations have no gas. This is Colonial Pipeline says it is resuming operation. A major blow, Attorney General james to take on the most powerful lobbying group. Can she take them down . Shes outfront.

I was in the process of deferring them, paying them. One of my Interest Rates went up to 9 . Which is atrocious. Then i discovered sofi. Completely changed my life. Lower interest rate. My principal is going down. Sofi is a place where you can start to tackle those money goals today. Compared to where i was three years ago, im kinda killing it. The question is would anybody would have marched in the capitol and overrun the capitol . Secretary miller was less definitive today making a sudden shift during his personal testimony on the insurrection. I would like to offer and reassess it is not the unitary factor at all. It seems clear it was an organized conspiracy. And Secretary Miller did not just backtrack today. He completely skipped over this line that was in his prepared remarks. It read, quote, I Standby My prior opposition that i believed his comments encouraged protesters that day. He left that line out. He didnt say it. Outfront, Secretary Miller made an 180. He says trump is not the unitary factor or the soul factor. He leaves out the crucial line where i think hes responsible. What do you make of that to his words now . Well, you see it with many of the republicans right after the January 6th, afterwards Mcconnell And Mccarthy and Liz Cheney and Miller And Everybody was saying it was the president s words that incited the riot. We heard his speech, he said go over there and give him hell. He planned it and talked about it and kept putting out the lie that the election was stolen and then all of a sudden now they are turning around. Now they are removing their Stor Sto stories. I found millers testimony is extremely disappointing. He reverted himself and failed to take any responsibility for the crisis that happened that day. He failed to prepare for it even though Law Enforcement including new York City warned him a month in advance in december. The fbi warned him. It was always over the news. If he read the news, he should have known there is going to be violence at the capitol. It was all over social media. Yet, he did not prepare in any way and his response was terrible. It took him four hours to get the national guard to the capitol to protect people after they violated the perimeter of the capitol. It was not just Secretary Miller, again, i do wonder, it confounds me of what he had in his remark. Here are a few republicans that said some things that are counterfactual. It was trump supporters who lost their lives that day and not trump supporters taking the lives of others. If you did not know the Tv Footage was a video from January 6th, you would think it was a normal tourist visit. If you didnt know it was from January 6th, you would think it is a normal tourist visit. I dont know what hes been looking at. It is an outrageous statement. It was unveiled on television. I can see it out the window of my office, the attack on our capitol. It is an undisputed fact. Theyre trying to cover it up this way and what we need now is more oversight and we need to get more documents along with five other chairs of committee. We are still waiting for those documents. We need witnesses to tell the truth and dont hide behind privileges. We need a 9 11 type of commission to get to the Root Cause of how this happened and what we can do collectively in a bipartisan way to prevent it from happening. It is one of the darkest days of our history of our country. Chairwoman, i appreciate your ti time. Gas prices are surging and stations are out of fuel. Colonial pipeline is resuming operation.

Com commitment Breaking News the Colonial Pipeline is restarting operation. States are out of fuel in the East Coast. Georgia and south carolina, more than 40 of Gas Stations are out of gas. Virginia is 53 . North carolina, 70 are out of gas. There you are looking at live picture of charlotte. 70 of the stations in North Carolina are out of gas. The mayor will be with me in a couple of moments. And concerns of price goauching. It all stems from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline. Thats the fact. There is a cyber attack and it was shutdown. Colonial is now saying it will restart but warning it will take several days for service to fully return to normal. Kaitlan collins is outfront. That does not mean okay, we are good to go and now you have the this problem and states. Thats right, does not mean all Gas Stations are out of gas and the White House knows that. I think what they are focused on today is right now in the immediate after math is what can they do to stem the panic here. Thats why they are bringing officials out to the briefing earlier today urging people to please do not go and panic by gas. This is causing issues, there are concerns of what kind of containers people are putting gas in. Thats been their primary Focus Today as they say they are trying to make it easier for people to get fuels and companies to get gas. That comes to making it easier to send it via Ship Or Rail or truck or whatever they can do to get this and stem this problem as quickly as possible. They have been working very closely with Colonial Pipeline. President biden was the one that said today theyre going to have some news. The company says yes, we are slowly but surely trying to get back online. So i think this is something that happens when your president and there is a crisis like this and People Cant buy gas. People look at the White House for guidance on whats going on. President biden has signed this Executive Order on cyber defense and strengthen it when it comes to agency. They say thats more of an issue that congress seems to take up when it comes to private company and security. I think for everyone who does not live in the southeast and able to get gas raises the concerns of how vulnerable i guess i should say a lot of these systems look like they could be. It is a really fair point. I think we know the answer is waykaitlan, thank you very much. I want to go to the mayor of charlotte, North Carolina, i appreciate your time. 70 of your city is out of gas. This is unnerving and stressful for days. What has it been like . It has been really difficult because people are hording the gas, they feel this may be a crisis they cant manage and control and the able to Say Ifill up every Car Zi gotten all the cans filled, that gives people a sense of safety. Thats whats going on, hording of the gas. I think that what we would like to see is people can relax and realize that this can be something thats fixed. More importantly that we went immediately today to free mass transit service, our buses and light rails and streetcars are running at no costs. We dont want people to stayathome and not the get to the Doctors Office and not get to work because of the situation. We are making it possible for our residents to move about the city in a safe way. So you talk about people hording and thats whats hoarding. Is that really what you are s seeing of the problem and are you aware of Supply Issues . The governor had an Emergency Order Today and he lifted many restrictions on trucking in our city. So we are taking care of that part of the problem. I think this is just like the pandemic, that first couple of weeks of march a year ago, people got frighten because the unknown is difficult. This city has good planning and good communications with our residents and so i think that we know if we can get this calm down and we hear from the white House And Colonial that the gas is going to be delivered in the next several days, we can manage the next several days. Have the White House communicated with you, have you heard from colonial that this is up and running and they are expected to be fully back to normal the next couple of days . My understanding is our Emergency System has opened its Operation Operation Center and staying in contact with all of our entities and all the folks we have to have Homeland Security so we can react quickly and what we are hearing now is folks are saying it is going to take a couple of days to get the trucks and the pipeline to work. We think we have sufficient reserve for City Organization and making sure our water and solid waste services and airport and all work and if we can do that, as long as we continue to see progress, we are going to be okay. Mayor lyles, i appreciate your time, thank you very much. Thank you so much erin for having us talk about my great city. All right.

What this ruling does is pave the way from a Fraud Lawsuit by new york Attorney General latisha james. James made No Secrets of the fact that she wants to dissolve the nra. The Attorney General james is outfront. I know this is your first interview. Whats your reaction to the ruling . Not only the most Powerful Wil Lobbying Organization in this country is above the law. And fortunately the Bankruptcy Court and judge in particular saw through all of these. We filed a 167 page of complaints laid out misused of charitable assets and party transactions and governance and internal controls that were not in place. The lack of protocols and procedures and the lack of grievances for whistle blower, mr. Wayne La Pierre diverted and wasted charitable asset of the nra. The nra is in a good financial position that should not have filed a Bankruptcy Petition simply because they were afraid of dissolution. In our 167page complaints that we filed following a 15month investigation, we are seeking the following relief, dissolutions, penalties, a lifetime ban of Wayne La Pierre and as well as the removal of other Exec Tutives as part of t nra. You laid out great details, 167 pages but allegations of widespread corruption within the nra. Wayne La Pierre, the ceo, he had frequent stays on 108foot Yacht in bahamas owned by hollywood producer. He defended his escape to the yacht where he went after the Sandy Hook shootings and the parkland shootings. He goes to this yacht and oh they simply let me use it as a Security Retreat because they knew the threat i was under. This is the one place i can feel safe. What do you say to that . Mr. Wayne lapierre not only engaged in the charitable assets and the purposes of going on yachts and the purposes of buying very, very expensive italian suits, in addition to that, going on sfafaris and purchasing a number of gifts and providing consulting contracts to his friends and family. And engaging in a nurd of Third Party transactions and i think what the judge indicated what was most egregious that this petition was hidden in his contract so most of the Board Members had no idea that it gained unilateral power to mr. Gain lapierre to file this Bankruptcy Petition. Thats why this case in the state of new york, a case involving the not for Profit Law in the state of new york will go forward. The financial disclosure forms as you mentioned, the trips were never mentioned to the yacht. He never paid to use the yacht. You accused him and you mentioned safari of him spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on prievate Plane Trips and tris to africa and all Expense Paid Safaris that were gifted by a spender. Do you this i you have seen everything there is to see or do you think this is still perhaps the tip of the iceberg . Well, in the judges decision, he indicated that the unfortunately the illegality and these conflicts of interests and these expenses continue. Thats why in new york, we are in the midst of discovery and we anticipate all likelihood that well proceed to trial in the state of new york in the year 2022 where well lay out for the general public and all the donors for the nra that it runs deep in the nra and the relief we are seeking is dissolution. Our office offered a scathing report against governor cuomo. I know you are in the midst of investigating Sexual Harassment allegations against the governor, i know it is an ongoing investigation, do you have any idea when your investigation could wrap up . Our investigation will be completed when it is completed. All right, thats the answer. Thank you very much Attorney General, i appreciate your time. Thank you, i appreciate you. All right. Next, ohio making it worth your while to get vaccinated. This is not only an americas story, For Better Or Worse and a lot of free Tuition Room and board, will it work . The Air Strikes in the Middle East intensifying tonight, Air Raids are going off and dozens are dead. We are live in jerusalem. From the moment i laid eyes on you this is what i said, i said i see it and i like it and i want it yes, i do do, do, do i need it to make me happy baby, yes i do mean you i see it and i like it and i want it yes, i do woo this is our block. Our place. Our people. Watch the curb. Not having a ride to get the vaccine. Cant be the reason you dont get it. You wanna help . Donate a ride today. I want to see you Stand Up i want to feel you be proud i want to hear your Beating Heart live out loud you can do it on your own Stand Up now be proud, yeah Stand Up now live out loud, oh did you know you can go to libertymutual. Com to customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Really . I didnt aah ok. Im on vibrate. Aaah only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. How do you win these lo lott lotteries . Well, your names get drawn if you have been vaccinated. The money from this is going to come from federal covid relief fund. Money that is well spent. S i know some of you are shaking your head. This million dollar drawing idea of yours is a waste of money. The real waste at this point in the pandemic when the vaccine is readily available for anyone who wants it. The real waste is a life thats lost to covid19. Outfront now dr. Jonathan rhiner and our own antonioy sullivan. Dr. Rhiner, let me start with you. When i saw this, i sort of stopped in my tracks. At first i thought wow, thats a Cool Incentive but the more i thought about it, the more sad i think it really is. Only in this country do we have to beg people to take a miracle drug. All over the world people are begging for vaccines. The sky all over in india is illuminate by thousands of people dying everyday. We have to bribe americans to get this free vaccine and the reward they get is it saves their lives. I have already won the lottery because i have been vaccinated and my wife and my two girls. I know theyre not going to get sick and die from this vaccine. 154 Million americans have already won the lottery. It is a sad commentary. W what do we have to do to get people to understand that life, their life will be saved by this vaccine. Every single person whos dying in the united states of this virus, over 600 people a day are unvaccinated. Every single person is unvaccinated and we have to bribe them with A Million Dollar lottery. It is. To this point when Governor Dewine says the real tragedy is another person dying. So you have been will the people that you spoken to when they see something like this say okay, im going to get a shot because i could win A Million bucks . Yeah, there are degrees to this. Ive spoken to a lot of trump supporters and weve seen 44 , almost half of republicans say they will not get this vaccine. This is a Red Line if trump were to come out and beg them to take it they say no, we are not taking this and that perhaps might be why Trump Hasnt pushed the vaccine, which, you know, he can take a lot of credit for because he may alienate his base. The other people who really can be reached are particularly parents and mothers that ive spoken to who now that the vaccine is available for younger teenagers are going online, looking, you know, genuinely for answers to questions natural questions that any parent would have. It is way too easy still. It incredible. Its too easy to find misinformation about this vaccine on facebook asand instagram. If you type in vaccines for instagram, the fourth, fifth, sixth result was misinformation. This is more than a year into the pandemic. So misinformation about this vaccine is just too easy to find and that is dissuading people. Its just incredible and as they say, its like you say wow, its incredible only in America Thing at its best and truly a reflection of some of the worst of what were seeing. So well said. Thank you both very much. I appreciate it. Next, the violence in the Middle East right now escalating to a level not seen in years. Buildings levelled and dozens are dead. Well take you live to jerusalem next. Life can be a lot to handle. This magic moment, but theres plenty of magic in all that chaos. So different and so new. Was like any other.

Com commitment tonight, President Biden making his first public comments on the violence thats erupting between the israelis and pales palestinians, the worst in seven years. Following a Phone Call with benjamin netanyahu. My Expectation And Hope is this will close down sooner rather than later. At least 67 palestinians are dead according to the palestinian health ministry. Six israeli civilians died according to the military. Ben wedeman is live tonight. Obviously in the wee hours of the morning there, ben, the i have violence escalating today and warning the conflict could spiral into a full scale war. Youre there. What do you see . Certainly things look grim at the moment, erin. What we have seen just past midnight was rarely Air Strikes in gaza followed by about an hour ago a barrage of rockets out of gaza toward tel aviv. Sirens went off. Were not aware of any damage at this point, probably those rockets were blocked by the Iron Dome System but nonetheless, all indications are that this situation is getting ever more dangerous. Made more complicated we seen a dramatic increase in communal violence between israelis, Jewish Israelis and palestinian Isra Israels to the extent the government pulled Border Police out of the occupied West Bank to deploy them in mixed palestinian jewish towns within israel itself imposing an overnight curfew and one of them in an attempt to restore order. Erin . So ben, here is the thing. Youve had all this going on for days and the worst violence in switc seven years. It not just enter, its intra. President biden speaks out for the first time today. How relevant of a player is he in the united states right now. Reporter the Quiunited Stat is a major player because it provides israel with 3. 8 billion in Military Aid and provides a lot of diplomatic protection to israel but somewhat hobbled by the fact that for years now, unlike for instance the russians it refuses to have any contact with hamas and similar organizations and therefore for instance, we understand that the Under Secretary of state for Israel Palestine Affairs is coming here to speak to what they say are both sides but who are both sides . Of course, its the israelis on the one hand but the other party they will speak to is the Palestinian Authority which has had no part in this recent escalation. So in a sense, theyre only speaking to one side in this conflict. Right, right, right and there is only so far you can get in doing that. Ben, thank you very much. I appreciate your time covering this crucial story on the ground. As i said in Jerusalem Tonight and thanks to All Of You for joining us. You can watch out fronfront a time. Ac 360 starts now. Good evening. There hasnt been a day in Vent Memory when the entire charade of what is happening within the leadership of the Republican Party was laid so bear in three separate events, all of them happening in roughly a one Mile Radius of each other. The first to oust Liz Cheney and of course a lies by the former president and for weeks, the republicans insisted thats why she lost the Leadership But Position but something else, making sure everybody was on the same page. Hours after cheney lost her position at a House Oversight Hearing on the January 6th
