Thispast summer in their arguments. Will you then respond to Maxine Waters with a number of other Democrat Officials not speaking out against the antifa and otherextremist rallies over the last summer . I think, you can count on that. The my if my eyes look a little red to the viewers, its because i have been looking at a lot of video, the last several days. Plus, congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene says shes been freed to push the Republican Party further to the right. This, amid growing divisions within the gop. Exactly one month, after the Capitol Insurrection, the New York Times releasing a breakdown of who has been arrested. Including, at least 22 current members or former members of the military. And health officials, warning super bowl watch parties could spark a coronavirus explosion. Even worse than holiday gatherings. Good, saturday morning. Happy to be with you. Im lindsey reiser. And im kendis gibson. We have a big hour ahead for you. We have a team of correspondents and analysts who are following the very latest developments right now. Lets kick things off with msnbc correspondent, mike memoli, in delaware. He will have more on President Bidens latest comments. White house correspondent, monica alba is in west palm with the latest on trumps impeachment strategy. A very good morning to all of you. Mike, lets start with you. President biden says he doesnt think that trump should continue receiving these briefings. Yeah, absolutely stunning comments, especially given the fact that the white house has been careful all week to only say that there is a review under way. And this administration, so far, in the less than a few weeks that they have been in the white house, has taken pains really to avoid weighing in very directly on some of these potentially politically thorny issues, involving the former president. But President Biden was asked directly in an interview that will air, in full, on super bowl sunday. On cbs. About whether president trump, the former president , at this point, should continue to have access to classified intelligence. And as is classic with joe biden, he offered, with a pretty blunt assessment of it. Lets take a listen. I just think that theres no need for him to have that that Intelligence Briefing. What value is giving him an Intelligence Briefing . What impact does he have, at all, other than the fact he might slip and Say Something . So, lets talk, though, about what, exactly, former president s have access to. If you are in the oval office, as the sitting president , every day, you have the classifiedpresident ial daily brief, a very detailed assessment of the threats facing the country. Former president s simply are able to request Classified Information, when they thing they need it. Especially, if they are traveling overseas. But this is a particularly thorny question involving formerpresident trump, who we know has his own business empire, still. Potentially, still, wants to continue pursuing foreignbusiness dealings. And that access to Classified Information could be used, as some democrats have warned, adam schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, thinking he is going to use Classified Information for personal gain, as he tweeted earlier this week. And so, it is a much more difficult question. Now, what we dont know, yet, is has the white house review about whether formerpresident trump should get these information still concluded . Biden was careful to say, in that interview, as well, that he doesnt want to get out ahead of that. And so, its its not clear that this decision has been made. But because the president has, pretty much, unilateral authority about who has access to Classified Information, including, yes, former president s. That order from the president would be enough to cut that off. Lets get to monica, right now. And this new development on trump Impeachment Team is hinting at a new defense strategy. Well, kendis and lindsey, we have the overarching sense, now, of what these lawyers are going to argue, next week, which is, essentially, they will say this is an unconstitutional proceeding. That a former president , who is no longer in office, should not be held accountable, even for actions that occurred, of course, while he was in his term. House democrats have pushed back, and said, essentially, thats the crux and the centerpiece of their argument. But now, were hearing a little bit more insight from bruce castor, who was on fox news last night, who is saying his eyes are so red because theyve been reviewing so much video from not just, obviously, the events of january 6th and the insurrection at the capitol. But hes now dating this all the way back to last summer and, of course, the intensesocial unrest. We saw not just in washington, d. C. But across the country. Bruce castor, arguing that some of that will help them make their case that people have a right to go and protest, under firstamendment rights. And that certainly, donald trump, they are going to claim, was using that when he told his supporters to, quote, fight like hell and breach the grounds of the u. S. Capitol. Going there, of course, we know the former president never joined them, in doing that. And they did go far, and now were going to be able to get a little bit more of a sense, though, from this pretrial brief that is due on monday. We got the first round, last week. But we are going to get a little bit more, from the former president s defense team. And they are going to be able to lay out a little bit more of their defense. But the key thing here, kendis and lindsey, is also what we dont know. Will there be any other witnesses called . We know, for example, that donald trump, at this point, is not expected to testify or submit a written letter. The other question, is we now know there will be an additional lawyer, a third attorney, who has not yet been announced, who will be a part of the formerpresident s defense team, in addition to bruce castor and david schoen. And if we just zoom out and remember, i think it was a year ago, yesterday, donald trump, then the sitting president , was acquitted. He had ten lawyers. A way larger team defending him there. That shows you, here, that, in this particular case, schoen and castor both believe this is a more clear and cut situation, thats what they have argued and they, quote, continue to say this case is a winner for them. Kendis and lindsey. Mariana, lets head over to capitol hill. This week, everybodys been embroiled by Marjorie Taylor greene. She was kicked off her committees and now she says this frees her up to do more with the Republican Party. What is she saying . That is exactly right, lindsey. Well, now that she has no time to devote to committee, she is going to redirect that attention to make sure that the Republican Party remains the party of trump. She, very much, saying that is exactly the criticism shes been hearing from republicans across the country, who are firmly against the fact that she is no longer serving on her committees. And she already is very sharply criticizing republicans. The 11 who voted to make sure she was stripped from her committees, and the ten who voted to impeach formerpresident donald trump. She, noting, that if this continues, republicans will lose the majority in 2022 during the midterms. Take a listen to how she defines todays Republican Party, in remarks that she made at her Press Conference yesterday. I want to tell you, republican voters, support him, still. The party is his. It doesnt belong to anybody else. So, you, very much, hear there, her saying this is the party of trump, and she is going to continue to push those americafirst priorities. However, its worth noting the Republican Party, especially in the house, remains divided. Even though majority of republicans wanted her to keep her committee assignments. In a private, closed ballot, we dont know the results in terms of which republican voted which way. A majority of republicans in the house voted to defend congresswoman liz cheney, to make sure she stayed in her leadership position, even though, publicly, many of them say she should no longer serve in leadership for impeaching formerpresident trump. All right, mariana, a lot of that is getting attention. A lot of people are talking about it. A lot of people are more concerned about this 1. 9 trillion covidrelief bill that is, possibly, speeding up, at this hour. Get us up to speed on it. For sure. So, before the democrats and the republicans focus all their attention on the senate to impeachment. Democrats in both chambers really wanted to make sure they pass a budget resolution, which they were able to do by the end of this past week. And that, essentially, makes sure that democrats in the senate dont need any republican votes to pass that 1. 9 trillion proposal biden put forward. And as much as democrats want to, more or less, go big or go home here on these proposals, biden is very much not just meeting with republicans, but willing to hear him hear them out. He is, very much, trying to compromise and thats more or less what he said in that interview with cbs. He says, listen, i understand that republicans, and its likely no longer the case that we can have this 15 minimum wage proposal in this legislation. However, hes not going to budge on the fact that he wants to pass one big bill that, specifically, gives americans a targeteddirect payment of 1,400. Of course, he is working with republicans to make sure that those who really need that money can get it. Guys. Yeah. And a lot of support. Across the country for that bill. Mariana sotomayor, monica alba, and mike memoli from the wilmington white house there. Looking beautiful there. Sunrise. Thank you, guys, all for getting us started. Lets get reaction to all this because there is a lot to get to right now from someone who was at the capitol, the day of the riots. Congressman of arizona. Congressman, thank you for being here. And i do want to start with the events of exactly a month ago. Its hard to believe. Today marks one month since the Capitol Insurrection. A lot of your colleagues have been commenting, and commending you for the steps that you took to protect them. In fact, actually, heres what congressman Eric Swalwell from california told nicole the day after the insurrection. I told reubens wife, she was texting me, frantically, to get him out of there. I told her that i would get him out of there, and reuben was one of the last persons to leave the floor because he was standing there. Pointing to the gallery members, where they should go because they were trapped, there were protestors outside the gallery. And reuben was pointing and directing and telling them where they could go to get out safely. Wow. You served in iraq during the war. How did you feel, at that time, compared to your time in combat overseas . War war war is different. This was a very precarious situation. I didnt quite know the full scope of what was going on. I was worried because, you know, i knew that there was a crowd. I knew there was a riot happening. We have a lot of elderly members. A lot of members that have different types of health conditions. And it was going to be difficult for us to move them. So, my whole time was really trying to figure out what our options were, first, for safety. Then, for evacuation. And then, lastly, when i thought to come to it, to fight. And thats that was my only goal, at the end, was making sure that, you know, worst comes to worst, i was able to fight. Pretty amazing your instincts just kind of kicked in there. Capitol hill, of all places. Yes, but shouldnt have to. This not in, you know, the peoples house. Not in, you know, the the the hall of democracy, should we have to have Military Skills to to survive a day. Congressman, yeah. I think, its lindsey, by the way. And i i have to say, it shouldnt be it cant be stressed enough, that other lawmakers relied on you to get through the Capitol Insurrection safely. You you showed many of them how to breathe to avoid hyperventilating. So now that we have you here, i just want to thank you. And also, i want to talk to you about impeachment here. What do you make of some of the Defense Strategies that were hearing . I mean, you you cant necessarily equate, as as our guest in the last hour said, you cant equate the black lives matter protests with what we saw on january 6th. Well, this is more a typicaltrump move. This is not about defending his presidency. Its not about defending his actions. Its about, again, dividing america. Its a very cynical move because he believes and he understands that the Republican Senate is not going to hold him accountable. So, instead of, you know, trying to defend, you know, On Constitutional Grounds why he shouldnt be impeached or what he doesnt wasnt illegal. He is basically, again, going to try to anger and divide america, and try to win this over, you know, twitter memes and facebook posts. And hoping that the Republican Party is truly his party, and wont hold him accountable. Thats a very sad statement about where the Republican Party is, and who donald trump is. And, congressman, you heard our reporter, earlier, talk about Marjorie Taylor greene. Wanting to push the Republican Party further to the right. Does that worry you . Well, of course, it does. Look. You want to have a functional party, even if it is the Republican Party. Just because always helpful for this country. But any party that is not solely dedicated to grievance politics, dividing the nation, and not to legislation, is never going to end well. Because, once you start down that that well, once you can only feed fire and anger to your base, thats all they will ever want. And look, in arizona, ive been in arizona politics since the heydays of some of the worst people that made donald trump look moderate. And let me tell you what happens here. They just keep spiraling and spiraling, to the most baselevel politics. And instead of actually being effective, they just figure out more and more ways to divide americans because, at the end of the day, that is what gets in their primary. In the end, the whole country, the whole state, doesnt end up profiting from Something Like that. Congressman, thanks for joining us bright and early on this saturday. We appreciate it. Still ahead.

Were back now with the latest on a pennsylvania mother of eight. Infamously, known as the bullhorn lady. In custody, this morning, for her role in the January 6th Attack on capitol hill. The fbi, putting out this wanted poster. Seeking information from the public on this woman in the pink hat. Take a look at this video. Theres that pink hat. She is seen using a pole as a Battering Ram to smash one of the windows at the capitol building. There is, also, another video, i should point out, that surfaced of her with a bullhorn where she appears to instruct rioters on how best to take over the building. Well, the fbi raided her home in Northwest Pennsylvania for evidence to try to build a case against her. She her last name is powell. You see her there. She was later turning herself in. Her lawyer says that she is, neither, a danger to her community, nor a flight risk. A judge is going to decide, at the next hearing, whether thats the case. And as we anticipate more arrests, we are learning about more about these rioters, who they are, and what they stand for. The New York Times reports at least 22 rioters charged are current or former members of the military. At least 21 had possible ties to militias or militant groups. And more than 12 follow that conspiracytheory group, qanon. The pentagon has issued a militarywide pause on allregular activity, to address extremism and White Supremacy in its own ranks. For more on this, we turn to brian levin, director at the center for the study of hate and extremism. Brian, good morning. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for being here. And i want to start with that striking fact that more than 20 of those arrested have military ties. Is this surprising to you . No, and and and thats a bit more. Thats an overrepresentation of what we see, for instance, in in in the population. There are not quite 200 folks charged and this is a little bit of a lagging indicator. Bottom line. There is about 7 of the population thats veterans. But this shouldnt be a surprise because there has been a a purposefulrecruitment effort at Law Enforcement and military from a variety of extremist groups, including groups like the oath keepers, for instance, and 3 ers. Who want folks with those kinds of specialized skills. Lets talk about this break right now ordered by the pentagon. What should the goal be . And what can they actually do, during this time . Thats a great question. And, you know, over a quarter century ago, we had the same problem when a couple skinheads from ft. Bragg murdered two innocent africanamericans. Look, there are a variety of things we have to do. First of all, greater work with regard to prehiring investigation, number one. Also, climate surveys that you can issue, across the military, to ask about whether these incidents take place. And applying specific rules. Hey. One, quick thing, real real quick. In 95, yeah, im that old. First time i was on your network because 96. I testified before congress there is a loophole in federal law that makes it a crime to train people in violent acts to to foment a civil disorder. And it doesnt punish the trainees. We dont feel that there is a need for a largedomestic terrorism statute. But we do feel that there are certaintargeted statutes, like closing this loophole, which punishes trainees but not trainers in violent methods. Interesting. Okay. Yeah we had the ceo of Southern Poverty Law Center in the last hour. She also said their group is against more laws on the books, specifically for domestic extremism saying the government already has the tools at their disposal. Brian, before we let you go, the Atlanta Journal constitution is reporting there is a possible alliance in georgia. This could signal a new phase here for extremist groups. I mean, does this further stress that, right now, the biggest threat right now to our homeland is domestic extremism . Yes. And and and we have been looking at this. Every year, since 2017, and this is important, because a lot of misinformation. White supremacists and far right, according to our research, which has been confirmed by others, has been the number one target with with respect sorry, the numberone perpetrators of lethalextremist attacks here in the United States. And that article you just showed, real briefly, listen to this. Were in a state of flux. We are going to see a leaner, meanertype of extremist landscape. Where these overthetop groups that you heard of are going to yield, a bit, as they are under investigation and prosecution. Some of these other groups that we havent heard of. And the groups you just showed on the paper. I interviewed the head of the klan in the midatlantic, who is now with this patriot group. They have just merged with a 3 martyrs group which, supposedly, was doing a surveillance of blm. So, imagine, when the head of the clan, whos now rebranded as a, quote, patriot, gets together with another militia. Thats a dangerous thing, and i can assure you that the feds are looking at this. We need a wholeofgovernment approach to domestic terrorism and that was scuttled by the last administration. Brian levin, i have not heard that yet, before. Thank you so much for coming on with us this morning. West virginia is winning the vaccination race. They have 99 of the first doses, already, in arms. And their success is thanks to the momandpops pharmacies. We are going to tell you about it, next. Ngo ttell you about it, next with our same tomatoes.

You will remember, President Biden signed that Executive Order last month, requiring travelers to wear masks in airports, airplanes, and bus terminals. Okay. So, when it comes to the National Model for covid19 vaccinations, we can actually turn to West Virginia. Leading the way, with its successful rollout. The state has already delivered 99 of covid doses to community partners, and theyre already in the arms of West Virginians. Far outpacing states with similar populations. Msnbc reporter, joining us right now from northern West Virginia with the very latest on this. Gary, good to see you. I have heard about West Virginias progress, for some time. How has empowering local pharmacies actually helped the state lead the Vaccine Rollout . Good morning, kendis. Yeah, well, you wouldnt expect a strip mall with a gun shop and nail salon to be a place thats, also, really on the front lines of this saving lives and and and part of this vaccination process. West virginia has one of the highest rates in the entire nation, as you were mentioning, of actually getting shots into arms. I want to read a Couple Numbers for you, here. There is 207,000 doses of the Coronavirus Vaccine that West Virginia has received. Every single one of those doses has already been allocated to community partners, like reids pharmacy, behind me, here. And now, the number of doses administered is 205,000. Only about 200,000 doses in West Virginia that are currently sitting around not in peoples arms. Now, i spoke to a number of pharmacists over the past couple days. They were telling me the reason that is is because of this Community Partnership that the state has with these local pharmacies. None of this, as they called it, bureaucratic red tape. These pharmacists are waking up in the morning, getting out, and going and vaccinating people with the Coronavirus Vaccine. I want to introduce you to ken and tally reid. They are two pharmacists who are doing just that. Well, i grew up in this area. And i went into pharmacy, my mother was telling me, growing up, you didnt really have primarycare physicians. Or there wasnt a whole you barely went to the doctor. You pretty much had to be on deaths door to even see a doctor. So she said her local pharmacist was our doctor, we were growing up. These are your neighbors, your friends, you know, your friends parents. And you just treat them like youd want to be treated. Now, of course, the issue here in West Virginia is an issue we are seeing all across this country. Supply, supply, supply. As quickly as these vaccines are coming into this state, they are getting vaccinated and put into the arms of West Virginians. Governor jim justice has been on our network, msnbc and other networks. Pleading with them to say send them more vaccines, they are ready for it. Appreciate it. You can get your nails done. Get a gun there. And also, get your vaccine shot. Its working for West Virginia. Appreciate it. Gary. A motion or legal arguments . Which strategy will come out on top in trumps Impeachment Trial . We are just days away from finding out.

Well, a fox news spokesperson said this move had been planned before the lawsuit dropped but this does mark an end to dobbs decadelong there. And was known for many of his controversial views. Lets talk about impeachment because there are some big developments in the Senate Impeachment trial to tell you about this morning. Donald trumps defense lawyer, bruce castor, suggesting they plan to focus part of their arguments on democrats comments during last summers protest. Here is a listen. There is an awful lot of tape of cities burning, and courthouses being attacked and federal agents being assaulted. By rioters in the street, cheered on by democrats. But here, when you have the president of the United States give a speech, and says you should peacefully make your your thinking known to the people in congress. Hes, all of a sudden, a villain. Trumps lawyer, also, says that he will not testify during the senate trial. So happy to have our next guest right now because he served as the democrats lead impeachment lawyer during the first Impeachment Trial of donald trump. Daniel goldman is joining us now. Daniel, thank you, again, for being here so early. So, is focusing on last summers protests, actually, a Smart Strategy . No. I i wouldnt say its a Smart Strategy. Neither, in a courtroom where it wouldnt be allowed, or even here, in the senate trial. I think, it minimizes what donald trump did, as you know, monthslong effort to overturn the election. That, ultimately, culminated, on january 6th, with his incitement of his his followers to go to the capitol. And invade the capitol. But, i i think its a demonstration that, factually, donald trump has very little to stand on. And its kind of a whataboutism defense that, i think, will probably fall flat next week. Even with the senators. And its a dangerous, dangerous strategy because youre sort of poking the republican senators. Who, remember, had to endure a very scary invasion by these protestors. And who were, clearly, a violent mob that almost got to them in the senate chamber. And, daniel, you know, i mentioned that you were the lead attorney during the democrats last impeachment of formerpresident trump. Last years trial, actually, looked very different, compared to this one. Heres heres a comparison, right now. This time, trump is being impeached for incitement, insurrection. He only has two Defense Attorneys on his team and ten House Republicans voted to impeach him this year, compared to none, last year. So what should we expect in just a few days from now . Well, there there certainly are a lot of differences that you point to right there. But i i think what you will see from the House Managers is a similar type of presentation. An audiovisual presentation but it will be more powerful and it will be more compelling even than what was done last time. Thats because what you have is the the pictures that you are seeing right now. You have reallife footage of the insurrection, of donald trump speaking and inciting the crowd. Of twitter messages. And then, youll have parler videos of a number of these people, who are talking about their plans to storm the capitol. We had witness testimony. And, you know, i think, we we did a decent job of weaving it together to paint a picture. But its not nearly as compelling as what were going to see next week. So, there are differences, certainly, in the sense that the the the members of the senate were victims, as i mentioned earlier. But also, that this this conduct is is even worse than the abuse of power that donald trump used, as related to ukraine. And it goes to the fundamental core of our democracy, our elections. And donald trump tried to overturn the election. He tried to overthrow it. And the question for the senators is are they actually going to address that issue . Or are they going to try to avoid it, by focusing on flimsyprocedural arguments, that are not supported by the law . Such as, that this this trial is unconstitutional. Well, it is compelling testimony. But also, they are aiming for emotional testimony. Steve bannon, actually, telling politico that he saw that he expects it to be very emotional and compelling. What are your expectations, beyond the compelling part . I think thats right. I think what you are going to see is is a monthslong effort, by donald trump and his supporters, to cast doubt on the election before it even occurred. Then, to, immediately, say that it was rigged and fraudulent. Then, to try to do everything they could, legally, to overturn the election. And then, when that failed, it just came down to a a selfcoup, as fiona hill described it, where he just tried to twist arms, pressure people, to, literally, overturn the results. With no basis in fact or evidence. And it, then, culminated with this rally. The last opportunity that trump and his supporters had to stop the train, that was the lawful election, from actually being certified. So, itll be it wont just focus on Donald Trumps speech on january 6th. Uhhuh. You will have a lot of context and leadup to that speech to put it in the context of what it is. And to understand that these protestors interpreted him as inciting them to violence. I hear ya. Daniel goldman, got to run. I appreciate your time and you being here. Thank you. Thanks so much. Floating 200 miles in outer space right now is a trailblazer. A trailblazer you got to talk to. Yeah. I had the pleasure of speaking with Victor Glover from the International Space station.

And is the first black astronaut to spend an extended period of time on the International Space station. Three, two, one. What about the history of it all . Yes, you are the 14th black astronaut, american astronaut, blackamerican, to make it there, in space. But thats out of 300. You know, we had mathematicians that were black, way back in the days. Take me through the history of your moment. Its bittersweet. I think, back to all of the folks who could have done this before me. And there are many. All of those 14, plus several others and there are folks that will come behind me that will continue this amazing legacy. And so, i just think about them anytime somebody brings this up. But but also, i i think we should celebrate, its important that little kids can look out and see someone who looks like them. And that they can put into the context of their upbringing that they can achieve what they what they set out to achieve. That they can dream big and accomplish those things. And there they are. First across the hedge, mike hopkins. And here is Victor Glover. Take me through that moment, victor, when you you crossed over, i could see your smile, from ear to ear. You were hugging everybody. Take me through that moment, right there. The two biggest things that were going through my mind were, i was very happy to see those familiar faces on the other side in sergei. And i was, also, very happy that they had a camera there rolling because i knew my family would see me and be able to exhale and say, all right. This parts done. One phase of the mission is over and we can breathe easy, for now. And so, that made me very happy. Victor, i watched several hours of your eighthour space walk. Take me through that moment as you first stepped out there or glided out there, as i would say. And you said this is absolutely beautiful. You know, its interesting that you ask about that very first moment. I got a lot of advice from colleagues, friends, family even. Lots of prayers and thoughts came up and thats one of the things i love about this mission. But one of my colleagues, anne mclean, gave me some really great advice. She said keep your world small. And i know someone told her that and and and it was probably passed down through several generations of astronauts and cosmonauts. And that was the the one thing that i was focusing on, was just focusing on what is right in front of me. And the task and talking and my teammate, mike hopkins. And my teammates on the ground. Because i didnt want to be overwhelmed by the the the awesomeness of Everything Else going on. And so, i slowly widened that world out. And and and expanded, as i had the capacity. But, first, going out of the hatch, it can be pretty overwhelming. And so, i knew it was going to be overwhelming. And i just tried to keep one thing at a time on my mind so that i could make sure to not mess that thing up. Its truly an honor for us to celebrate america, today. As we unite for this historic, inaugural tradition that spans more than two centuries. So, while you have been up there, i know that you guys you you had an inaugural address. But you also witnessed politica aspect, from one person who is black Making History In Space and noticing this on the ground with the first female Vice President. Again, i think it is a great thing to celebrate now. It is a moment. We should enjoy that moment. I also think it is important as with any accomplishment, one of the reason i used sports so much, whether you win or lose a game, monday you go back to practice. It is important to enjoy this moment, but also important to recognize we still have a lot of work to do, and this is the beginning. This work were doing now is the beginning of these things becoming normal. So my hats off to Vice President Kamala Harris and to her family on this amazing accomplishment, also my hats off to the country continuing to have peaceful transition of power, for us to continue to move forward, be the beacon of light, light on a hill for the rest of the world. Talk a little about sports. Kobe bryant was very proud about being a girl dad. You have a lot of practice in being a girl dad. What sort of advice did the young ladies give you up there, whats it like being a girl daddy as an astronaut. I learned more from being a girl dad, being a dad, period, than i have being a naval officer or astronaut. It has taught me about not just them, my four daughters, but myself, and taking time to understand and get to know them as individuals. One of the things i truly miss being up here is taking them out individually, just spending time talking to them about whats on their minds and also helping them with homework. I love helping them with homework. But you know, being a girl dad, it is a special thing. So much good advice in there. Yes. Keep your world small. That could be advice for anything in our world. Theres a lot of awesomeness around us, might as well keep focus on what is in front of you. Lord of mercy, dad to four daughters. The patience. He had hair at one point. Victor was amazing, a little more about him coming up. I love what he said, monday you go back to practice. Win or lose. They are the roughest and toughest in the league, facing off tomorrow.

Back in 2009, president barack obama assumed office with a Country Falling off an economic cliff. 12 years later, President Joe Biden has a similar hole to climb out of. 49,000 jobs were added in january, a pittance of the number needed to offset devastation from the pandemic and failed former administrations failed efforts to help the American People which amounted a little more than let them eat cake. Even worse, long term unemployment, being out of work longer than six months is very close to the high set in the great recession. Almost 40 of jobless americans in january were long term unemployed. Right now there are an estimated 10 million fewer jobs than before the pandemic. Remember, anytime someone says the failed president was so great for the economy, this is where the rubber hits the road. Thankfully, were now not under the Cartoon Leadership of the former president.
