Card image cap

Significant sort of many revolution going on in the republican party. We badly need a republican party. We need a two Party System. Its not healthy to have a one Party System. And i think the republicans are further away from trying to figure out who they are and what they stand for. Meanwhile, the republican leader in the senate made a point of avoiding any kind of response about the situation in this party. Are you going to do anything to help her keep her Leadership Position and are you concerned that the overall kind of trend in the republican party and acknowledge it can threaten your position of power . 100 of our focus is on stopping this new administration. This administration. Now this is all unfolded just as facebook Oversight Board, upheld the social Networks Ban of former President Trump which went into effect after the capitol insurrection. In its report the Oversight Board noted to post on that day quote, at 4 21 pm eastern standard time, as the riot continued, mr. Trump posted a video on facebook and instagram. I know your pain. I know youre hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a Landslide Election, and everybody knows it. Especially the other side. Youre very special. At 6 07 pm eastern standard time as police were securing the capital, mr. Trump posted a Written Statement on facebook. These are the things and events that happened when a sacred Landslide Election victory is so unceremoniously viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly, unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love in peace. Remember this day forever. The board concluded that quote, in maintaining a narrative of Electoral Fraud and persistent Call To Action mr. Trump created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible. Facebook was justified in suspending mr. Trumps accounts. Facebooks board did add that the decision should be reviewed six months from now. Trump responded with a statement slamming the company as well as other Tech Firms quote with facebook, Twitter And Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our country. Free speech has been taken away from the president of the united states because the radical left lunatics are afraid of the truth. Several of trumps political allies echoed his comments and called for retaliation against facebook. Most of the young people and some of the old people who are running the Social Media Platforms are practically bolsheviks, the only way to get this straight is to properly regulate them or break them up. The Oversight Board is just facebook and what we had today was facebook saying that it is okay for facebook to make up the rules as they go along and do whatever the heck they want. I know its not fair. The founders fought the revolution to establish that right to Free Speech. I think what facebook is doing is wrong. The Answer Or Monopoly laws we have to make sure that revise facebook. With that lets bring in our lead off guest on this wednesday night, Carol Leonnig Pulitzer prize investigative report, shes also the author of zero fail, the Rise And Fall of the secret service. Out next month and available for preorder, David Jolly A former republican and former member of the united States House of representatives, he is now chairman of the serve america movement, a group of current and former democrat republicans and independents working to fix the broken politics. Also with us, dr. Jen golbeck, she is an expert in malicious online behavior, and then professor at the university of maryland. Thank you for being with. As professor let me start with the, only because the response to the facebook disillusion, wherever you stand on this issue, by some republicans has been that it is a violation of the first amendment. That on its face is not true. No. Im always astonished, even though they have pushed this narrative since President Trump start running for being president , that they think that having a private platform adhere to their own Terms Of Service violates the constitution, of course thats not how it works. Were all held, with those Terms Of Service that we agreed to, to follow the rules of the platform set for. Theyre a lot of things are not able of saying on those platforms. But it sounds good and it really appeals to people who have an elementary School Level Understanding of would Free Speech means. Congress shall make no law, david jolly, the first amendment speaks about congress. What congress is doing right now, at least republicans in congress, as they are attempting to silence the speech of Congresswoman Liz Cheney who has said with a lot of people believe, that Donald Trump instigated much of what happened on january 6th. This has elevated into a very serious matter for republicans, it actually threatens the Structure And Fabric of the republican party in congress. Yeah, it does. It is easy to take a list shiny, kevin mccarthy, another moments since Donald Trump has taken its grip over the republican party. This is an Inflection Point where we have to apply the long lands, political history and recognize that this is answering the question that many of us had, although we anticipated the answer, what would a Post Trump gop look like . Would you see republican leaders and margin try to bring The Party back, Just A Little Bit from trumpism . This is the moment where we know that that is not to be the case. The house republican conference, the Congressional Caucus of republicans is prepared to oust one of their own leaders over her refusal to accept Donald Trumps Big Lie, and in fact to go further, her condemnation of his behavior that got him impeached. And the greatest tell of all tonight, is that Elise Stefanik, the air to replace Liz Cheney is far less conservative by her Voting Record than Liz Cheney. Liz cheney is the more conservative candidate the difference is that, Elise Stefanik has agreed, even as a moderate republican to be a lapdog for Donald Trump and that is the single qualifier that makes for eligible to be elevated in the republican conference just as they prepare to kick out Liz Cheney. This is a very interesting point for people who dont know, Elise Stefanik, i she has voted not a long lines of President Trump more often than most republicans have not, she has taken stands that definitely are to the left or not to the right of Liz Cheney. Carol leonnig, i want to read a little bit from what Liz Cheney wrote today, she wrote an oped in the Washington Post and she is not shining away from her position she right i am a conservative republican, and the most conservative of conservative values is reverence for the rule of law. At the heart of a republican is a commitment to the peaceful transfer of power among political rivals in accordance with the law. President Ronald Reagan describe this as our american miracle. There is much a stake now, including the ridiculous wokeness of our political rivals, the irrational policies at the border and runaway spending that threatens to return to the catastrophic inflation of the 1970s. Carol, that last sentence there is the only concession that Liz Cheney made to fighting the left, the Bottom Line is most of her oped, which was published in the Washington Post, was really criticism of republicans. Well, yes ali, but also it is a full hearted embrace of what the republican party was. Whats the republican party was was not anybody who promised endless loyalty to trump, the former president , the 45th president who still referred to himself as the president of the united states in his statements. Loyalty to Donald Trump was not a measure of what the republican party was, and i think the Inflection Point that Dave Points Out is apt. The other thing that is striking and chilling about Liz Cheneys statement is her point, history is watching. If we are not going to be able to be truthful with voters, if republicans candidates and elected leaders are not going to be able to be continue to say this is what has Liz Cheney in such a bind. It is remarkable. Jen, one doesnt have to agree with Donald Trump or some Republicans View of this first Amendment Matter with facebook to not think that facebook requires some regulation. In fact i want to quote from columnists who says that facebook has grown too powerful in the only fix is to get Government Legislators to allow more competition and to take impossible decisions out of the hands of too few people. I know you think about this a lot, whats success look like here with respect to facebook and its power, and Free Speech, and how a federal you regulate this . This is one instance of a lot of instances that facebook needs more regulation. They continuously feed people information, it is huge, it is not just what the president was allowed are not allowed to say, it is the entire movement surrounding that, the bots, the misinformation, all of that was fed by the algorithms that make money for these platforms. They are making decisions based on profit, not on what is socially responsible. That restage its tendrils and other problems that we see where Social Media touches society with privacy, with our data being exploited. Regulation is coming. It was very interesting today to see the republican response to the Oversight Board calling for the breakup of facebook, calling for more regulation. I heard Elizabeth Warren say this a few years ago and suddenly were all on the same page, so maybe that is promising. Right. It is, and this doesnt have to be a partisan issue. We can all agree that there is some way to manage this new world in which we communicate. David, i want to go back to the republican party for a moment. Liz cheney, as you said, she shouldnt be at odds with the right of the republican party. She is a conservative, shes a member of a very conservative dynasty. What is she doing . What is she setting up for here . That oped in the Washington Post sounded lofty, it sounded big, it was talking about big golds, rana rottgen, conservatism. Is there a longer game here for Lewis Cheney . As i think John Boehner said a leader without followers is just taking A Walk In The Woods by themselves, in some way you can say that Liz Cheney is about to take A Walk In The Woods by herself. I think shes standing on principle in this moment, as it resulted from the events of january six. I think there is always a question to be had for somebody who comes to politics well informed with an intelligence that took them all the way to the united States Congress to say, what took you so long to recognize the threat of Donald Trump . What did you do to enable this man that actually was able to capture the republican party . But shes making the right decision in the minds of a lot of people in this moment, i think the question is what comes next for like Liz Cheney. She will remain a republican but she will be on that lonely side of the aisle within the republican party. I have been there, i know it. I think the broader question is where does she go from here . It doesnt appear that there is a viral Bullet Party that could emerge from this. Liz cheney will stay within The Party and will be a voice of caution and reason, but you will not be a voice of leadership any longer. And carol lena, You Saw Mitch Mcconnell go out of his way not to address this. Not to deal with this particular issue. Instead focusing on Joe Biden. He referred to socialists and people on the left taking over. He wants to know part of this as im sure a lot of republicans would rather they not be having this play out in their party. How does this affects the republican agenda . Because Mitch Mcconnell says that his job is to stop the biden administration but hes got some problems on his own bench. He absolutely does. But you know what i found so fascinating about Mitch Mcconnell if he doesnt do anything without a plan and hes always got a Master Plan that we havent really seen until a Couple Chess moves out and i think that, you know, just as he, you know, definitely avoided impeaching or allowing enough time to impeach Donald Trump while he was still president and have that trial just as he did that, he is sidestepping this issue now. Because what does he really want . He wants to retake the senate. He wants more republicans elected and by Hook Or By Crook Donald Trump may be part of the key to getting that done. He may hold his nose for that to happen but he wants republicans elected and as You Saw today i mean stephanie was immediately leaping to the miss stefanik i just had a mental blow there she was leaping to embrace Donald Trumps 100 support even though Donald Trump isnt really exactly her kind of republican. Because she knows with Donald Trump, so goes her career. So goes for reelection. So goes her sort of trajectory as an Up And Comer and that is what Mitch Mcconnell is watching. When Donald Trump was nominated for the presidency, she wouldnt even take his name. She referred to him as my partys nominee. So she has come a long way in her relationship with Donald Trump. Thank you for the three of you for keeping us on tonight. Thank you. Coming up, Liz Cheney maybe losing power but what about the money . A new report on where gop donors are putting their money now and later as india has hits another grim milestone. The u. S.

Any comments on the efforts to oust Liz Cheney for the house republican Leadership Post . I dont understand the republicans. A new report from Cnbc Today says that Liz Cheneys top donors are sticking with her despite the effort to oust her from leadership. Brian schwartz reports, quote, cheney is unlikely to lose any of her major contributors even if she is ousted as an official leader. Some even say they will withhold contributions to anyone who opposes training. And that signals a split in the wealthy republican donor ranks between big Money Financiers who continue to back Donald Trump and those more aligned with cheneys views that Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square. And quote. Back with us tonight, Eugene Robinson Pulitzer prizewinning columnist for the Washington Post and bill crystal, and editor at large at the bulwark. Gentlemen, great to see you tonight. Bill, let me start with you. I want to pick up with you a conservative who is annoyed and disinfected with the republican party. I want to pick up from what david was telling me earlier. What does Liz Cheney do now and what does she do next . She probably loses her position In The House in republican leadership next week. It may be for the best since she wasnt was the Point And being in leadership if that congress doesnt agree with you on something so fundamental as telling the truth about the election and condemning january six and refusing to go along with the Big Lie and refusing to bow and scrape Donald Trump. I think she might be better off and a different venture. She can speak her mind, and other issues. She thinks shes doing the right thing to. Shes doing it out of principle. But she is betting politically that at some point the spell of general trump breaks or people come to their senses and like churchill in the 1940s, someone gets for having been right even though it was the only to be right. Eugene there must be some people watching this with glee but when asked about it, Joe Biden said we need the republican party. Why should anybody else care about this fight between mccarthy and Liz Cheney and whether stefanik becomes the republican In The House . Well, the Cheney Stefanek Thing is a done deal so we can care and we cant stop it. Its just gonna happen. Thats what the republican party is today, or whats left of the republican party. And i actually think we all should care whether or not there is a functional, coherent republican party and i am certainly not agreeing with its views when such a Party Reemerge is but i do think that a two Party System is a good system. It results in healthy competition, kind of Push And Pull and orderly transitions of power and it has worked quite well for us over the decades and centuries, really, and so i think we should say that this republican party is a cult of personality. Its not a party at all. We saw this coming, i mean bill, eugene, we have talked for the last few years about this and you have warned about it. In fact, you wrote to me, to donors, business leaders, Trade Association heads, operatives, commentators, and other powers that be an gop circles, dont just call need to chemistry and meant. Call them. Call the republican members of congress have supported. Do you believe there is any currency in that that you wrote today . Do you think calling anybody in the republican party works right now . Well you dont know until youre trying. And i do think, look, the voters are where they are and theyre much more approachable than i like. Theyve talked themselves into where they are as eugene said, but there are a awful lot of people out there who are skeptical of trump who would text an email me so theyre not totally writing off people who are anti trump for a while. But you know, theyre worried, they dont like it, whats happening with Liz Cheney, thats really crazy. But everyone is like a bystander, you know . So this horrible Traffic Accident that is ongoing and getting worse. Getting worse, thats the thing for me. I didnt agree with them. I understood the thought that okay, well get through this for years and itll be kind of crazy. We get a bit of legislation, put up with trump, he will lose. And then we get a bit of that is obviously not happening. We get the donors, conservatives, the Wall Street Journal editorial page. None of them has a sense of urgency that anything really bad is happening in one of the major national parties is now as eugene said not just the cult of personality, its a cult of Conspiracy Theorists and close to be and fundamentally anti democratic and anti constitutional as Liz Cheney said in her short carry off today. So it was a sort of desperate plea and i think people should step up and say, you know, daughters and other influential types and stop complaining and stand up and say no. No more. And some people are standing up in the states where this antidemocratic impulse is playing out. In georgia, in texas, in michigan, in iowa, in kansas, in pennsylvania, and in arizona. In fact, just tonight, we have a letter written by the principal Deputy Assistant Attorney general Pamela Karlyn to the president of the Arizona State Senate in which she writes, we have a concern that Maricopa County Election records, which are required by federal law to be retained and preserved, are no longer under the ultimate control of elections officials, are not being adequately safeguarded by contractors, and are at risk of damage or loss. Jeanne, while this is a unique and particular circumstance, this marks the entry on the federal government in these concerns the united states across the country. Right, and in this particular instance, the federal government and the Justice Department doesnt really have a choice. Theres a federal law that governs what is supposed to happen to the ballots and they are supposed to be preserved and under the control of elections officials or whatever. 22 months, yes. You know, its all laid out. What has to happen. And it doesnt seem to be happening there. They can be prosecuted for breaking the law and so i think its absolutely appropriate for the Justice Department to put these arizona recounters on notice that they are being watched that the Justice Department is keeping an eye on what theyre doing. Gentlemen, standby. Eugene and bill are staying with us. Coming up, if the White House had any doubt, which Mitch Mcconnells sole focus is. He set the record straight for them with the 11th Hour continues. Continues. Then they get release back into the air, so you smell them later. Ew right . Thats why febreze created small spaces.

Stopping this new administration. Were confronted with severe challenges from a new administration and a narrow majority of democrats In The House and a 50 50 senate, theyre gonna turn america into a socialist country. And to that Point A growing number of democrats have announced that they are heading for the exit, at least six democrats are foregoing reelection for their house seats. The New York times reporting the departures have republican salivating. Still with us Jean Robinson and bill crystal. Let me start with you, i want to read a little bit more from this article it says this could be just the beginning of the democratic departures, the high season for congressional retirements typically comes in the early fall after members spend the August Recess taking the political temperature of their districts. What do you make of this jean, and is it because the majority In The House is sore slim for democrats that this is more alarming for them that it normally would be . That could be the reason. Im not quite sure of all the reasons. I know it is a circumstance that should give speaker pelosi heartburn. But democrats have to go into this Election Cycle with the attitude that not only do they have to defend their Majority But Theyd like to increase it and hope that they can make 2022 the election after the Pandemic Catastrophe be fell on the nation in which they hope democrats can gain seats and want to make it to the election after. I think that is the parallel that they have to go back to you and tried to do with george w. Bush and the republicans managed to do in that mid term. And its a tall order. It is a tall order, it is fighting history. But i think it is important for the country that at the very least they retain the majority because of where the republican party is right now. And one of the reasons for that, Bill Kristol is because Mitch Mcconnell who does not control everything in the senate anymore has made it clear, he has no intention of working with Joe Biden. He is not talking about issues on which they can compromise, he says that his job is to stop the biden administration. If we once succumbing by Donald Trump, we would be astonished by Mitch Mcconnell. Its something to say that you want to stop the biden administration, what does that mean . Weve been in a pandemic, there is a recession, theres a new administration, their Foreign Policy challenges, a normal Minority Leader would say that i would want to help you, correct their ways, work with the democrats and help them change legislation and oppose stuff that we think that is the right thing to do. That is a normal opposition party. Mcconnell has always been very partisan, hes got more partisan over the year and what used to be a loose rhetoric over im going to obstruct, has become a sense of the right thing to do if youre the opposition party. It is dissimilar opposed to, stop the new administration. I think the democrats are being too passive and letting those kinds of statements pass. I think they should be harrowing mcconnell. If i was Chuck Schumer i would bring them out of the big bills, and dare the republicans to vote and let them try to stop things that are popular and really put them on the spot, time after time. The democrats have been very busy, theyve taken over the senate, the presidency, they have a lot of things to do but they need to make the republicans pay a little bit more of a price for their attitudes. Jeanne, i want to leave you with some thoughts about facebook. You wrote about that today. What do you make of the situation . Well, i think the Oversight Board said, no you know the interesting thing that ive read in the ruling of the supreme court over facebook, the interesting part is that facebook would not turn over a lot of information its own Oversight Board requested about how its algorithms work. How it drives people to self reinforcing and extreme content. How it might have helped build the monster that it has has the Oversight Board to team. I thought that was significant and i think that speaks to a fundamental issue with facebook and that is the business model. And that is what i think people are going to be looking at in the coming months, lets look at these algorithms, lets look at how facebook really works and how other Social Medias really work and how they help increase polarization. How they augment extremism and in that sense, perhaps, how we can how they help weaken democracy, we need to examine it impaired coolly and see if that is what is happening. I could talk to you guys all night, but we have rules here. Thank you for joining me eugene robinson, and Bill Kristol. Thank you as always. Coming up as india breaks another record that no nation wants to set, the biden administration signals a move that could help us or could end up helping india fight the virus.

Trade representative released a statement saying quote the administration believe strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for covid19 vaccines. Proponents have urged the president to move quickly as the cases surge around the world, india set a grim World Record reporting 3800 deaths in a single day. Nbc News Correspondent brings us more on the overwhelming crisis there. Desperate for oxygen for his patients, this doctor makes call after call. It is a constant struggle. I was struggling for oxygen, and again in the morning. While fighting to keep patients alive, they just resuscitated this man. India has the worst Covid Outbreak in the world. More than 20 Million cases. Over 225,000 deaths and now some experts estimate millions are infected every day. It is a collapse. We do not have time to feel sorry for somebody else. We are losing patience here. He reached this hospital, outside patients are waiting for space, with oxygen their families have had to find for them. Inside, this doctor finally receives some good news. The oxygen has reached. How many more misses have you got left . I think we have 20, or 25, actually we dont know, it could shut down anytime. But the oxygen that arrives is only enough for a few more hours. Kira symonds, nbc news. Here now to discuss that and Mores Doctor Dr. Nahid bhadelia at Boston University school of medicine. When you go outside in major american cities it looks like this thing is behind us, cities are coming to life, cities are lifting restrictions and when you see whats going on in india how does somebody like you who looks at this from a global perspective feel about where we are in this pandemic . Aly, im gonna start by saying that it brings memories of when i worked in the ebola response, where we saw Health Care systems get overwhelmed. And you see mortality go up. You and i have talked about the fact that this is the beginning of the devastation that we are seeing in india because millions of cases that we are seeing now will lead to deaths in a couple of weeks, and in my sense, india is one of those countries that was heavily affected early on, but the thought was, it may have escaped the worst because the cases went down like brazil. And now you are seeing the virus not just take hold of the country but also in the surrounding regions, nepal are starting to see hospitals get overwhelmed and inland area youre seeing Argentinas Osprey Legend go up. And the pan american Health Organization warned that the cases there may increase. Of course, this is important not just for those regions but for the variants that are rising from this ramp It Transmission our threat to all of us and threatened the efficacy of the vaccines. The second reason is that india is a big producer vaccines and part of that covax group, they have had to scale back their exports which is affecting our ability to vaccinate the rest of the world as well. Doctor is going to stay with us as we when we come back were gonna discuss with the biden administration is doing to get more shots into arms belonging to americans who still are quite sure about the covid vaccine. Thats when the 11th Hour continues. Continues. Did you know that every single flush flings odors onto your soft surfaces . Then they get release back into the air, so you smell them later. Ew right .

We have a moral obligation, steve, to make sure that the rest of the world does not suffer and die, as it were from something we can help them with and help them to prevent because we have the resources. And when i say that, i mean the developed world i dont mean just the united states. Still with us is Doctor Nahid but delia. Doctor, lets talk about this patent waiver. It is controversial. Drugmakers in America Have come out and said this is not the way to deal with this matter. Explain this to me from your perspective. Yes i lay, in my opinion the biden administration taking this stance Places Pressure on the g7 countries to serve talk about this waiver of intellectual patent rights. And its the first move, right . I think its a powerful move thats necessary but it is not and this is what the critics are saying is that its not enough. Its not sufficient because there are other steps. What happens now as you have a negotiation and i hope that there is an urgency around but during which the companies have to share their trade secrets. Its not just enough to lift the waivers, they have to share those Tech Transfers elsewhere. And then the third step is for that masking you Factoring Capacity to be built up and that requires financing. The w. H. O. Already has covid Technologies Transfer Tool and they have started building as of two weeks ago and announced mrna transfers. Some of that technology, as long as there is agreement theres already international mechanisms that allow this to happen. But we need to do is Doctor Fauci says, you cant do this alone. But globally, bilaterally, multi laterally, investing in that Manufacturing Capacity not only for this pandemic but in my view, ali, were seeing a new pathogen arise on the international scene almost every year. This is a future investment for the new threats that might be coming down the road. And its a big lesson for us and hopefully we will invest in this ahead of the next pandemic but this is the point that the Drug Makers are making, that is a Logistics And Manufacturing issue not a technology issue. Hence, dont give up the past tense. Dont allow a waiver on the patents. Why is the Technology Transfer as important as building up the Manufacturing And Logistics capacity . The Technology Transfer is, you know, vaccines are not easy to transfer. And so that Technology Transfer is required. And i think that i actually think the capacity is there and theres global to be able to share that but the important part is we forget that 1. 1 Million vaccines so far have been distributed, right . 80 of that is in the upper end in the rich in Upper Middle Class countries and only 0. 3 has gone to poor countries. Were not keeping up with global production, right . And so part of this is that we have to ramp up the resources that are required to build these vaccines but we also need to increase the number of places that are creating these vaccines to be able to get them where they need to be. It is a long road, but with all the heart and resources that it took for us to vaccinate 100 Million americans, there are almost Eight Billion people in the world. Its going to take years to vaccinate everybody so thats why we need to start investing now to make sure that even if it takes a while, were gonna be protected for the rest of this pandemic as well as futures as well. And i have to ask you here in america, the cities opening up announcements in new York City that really by June 1st Everything will be back to business in some places are getting back to business next week in the week after. Too soon or about time . I think that youre seeing cases go down. I think the thing i worry about as we talked about before and our capacity, you know i think New York in my sort of opinion is moving a little fast as theyre opening up indoor capacity and valued by The End of may. I think boston is a little massachusetts is a little more conservative by august 1st. Thats a bit more realistic, because i do wish that we would see a bit more coverage of the population particularly because were seeing such disparity and the amount of vaccination between states and even though your state may achieve 70 which is a goal that President Biden has set by july, you might see it as ongoing glorious vaccination and other effects. Particularly if you have children and other populations that are not yet protected in the will vaccinated states. Now hed be delia, thank you for announcements tonight.
