Make. This bipartisan breakthrough is a great deal for the american people. This is a bluecollar blueprint to rebuild america. Theyre also trying to navigate opposition from republicans and some democrats. While many moderate democrats are raising concerns about the infrastructure plans price tag, those on the left insist it must be passed with a much larger Spending Bill. Some say theyre ready to make that happen without republican votes. The priorities that we as democrats have campaigned on around childcare and the care economy, around Health Care and medicare expansion, around bold climate action, these are all critical priorities for us and so we need to make sure that the Reconciliation Package has 50 votes in the senate. When you dont get things that are important to the american people, would things just stop and there are times that you have to stand up and say this has to get done. And meanwhile, Nbc News Reporting Negotiations in congress on Police Reform Legislation teetering on total collapse. Leigh Ann Caldwell reports a split between different factions of Law Enforcement as a possible bipartisan agreement in danger. It comes as a critical vote in the House Tomorrow on whether to create that select committee to investigate the January 6th riot. Democratic majority makes passage likely but not without vocal objections from republicans. Well have more on that just ahead. Well see the former president back at the southern Border Tomorrow as Trump Heads to South Texas and the rio grande valley. Hell be with Texas Governor Greg abbott who has promised to complete trumps wall with State Funds and private donations. Some house republicans plan on joining the trip. Also tonight, concerns, of course, are growing about the rapid spread of this Delta Variant across the globe and in our own country, cdc now estimating it accounts for 26 of new cases in our country. World Health Organization and notably l. A. County Health Officials are recommending masks indoors, even for those who have been fully vaccinated. Dr. Fauci says it will be unlikely that the cdc will also change its guidance. The cdc recommendations stand that if in fact you are vaccinated, youre protected and you do not need to wear a mask outdoors or indoors. For all those Watching Developments in surfside, florida, tonight, Search And Rescue workers are about to begin a seventh day of looking for any signs of survivors, any sign of life in that wreckage of the Condo Building that collapsed in two sections last week. Tonight, 12 people confirmed killed. 149 souls remain unaccounted for. The head of Miamidade Fire Rescue tells the New York Times crews have moved piece by piece, bucket by bucket about 3 Million pounds of concrete from that pile. White house says the president and First Lady will visit surfside on thursday. Meanwhile, Nbc News has learned that an April Letter from the Condo Buildings board to residents there warned of this accelerating Concrete Deterioration along with a growing Renovation Cost to residents. With that, lets bring in our leadoff guests on this Tuesday Night. White House Reporter for the associated press, national political correspondent with the New York Times, and founding director of columbias national center for disaster preparedness. He advises us on Public Health and happens to be a columnist at the daily beast. Good evening. Jonathan, i would like to begin with you. For those in our audience who may be curious what the people are going to see, what the states are going to get, those who havent followed every Twist And Turn of the negotiations, if the Vote Tonight passed on infrastructure, how would that differ from the president s original big Wish List . Well, brian, it certainly would still be a substantial impact to americans and their lives. Though not as sizable as the president first wanted. His first proposal for the hard infrastructure program, things like bridges, roads, highways, airports, broadband was about 2 Trillion. Now were in the neighborhood of 1 trillion. Still an increase of hundreds of billions from where the republicans were at the start of this process. And its been a lot of twists and turns in recent days. And we certainly saw that this deal was agreed to on thursday. We heard the president come out and tout it and said, weve got republican support, we know how much how important its been for this president to reach across the aisle. He campaigned on being a bipartisan dealmaker. Only to almost blow it when he linked that the hard infrastructure bipartisan deal with the much bigger soft infrastructure thats going to be done through the Budget Process which could be up to 4 Trillion, which will probably be democrats alone. This was always going to be on two tracks. But republicans when they heard the president threatening to walk away from the bipartisan deal, they objected. Damage control from the White House. They seem to have appeased the republicans for now, but they have some democrats, some progressives who say that they are settling for not nearly enough. They want to go bigger. The President Today hit the road, the beginning is going to be a series of stops selling the virtues of the bill, airports need to be improved, we need to show that we can compete with nations like china when it comes to infrastructure. He called it a generational challenge. That tour started today in wisconsin. Lisa, heres how your paper reports it tonight, the fear among liberals is that the if the bipartisan measure gathers enough momentum to quickly pass, some democrats, particularly centrists like Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of arizona will lose their appetite for another major economic package. One way of asking this question, lisa, is who would want to be Senate Majority Leader right about now . Either she is taking a timed nap or her wifi froze up on her. Jonathan, back to you, same question . Well, brian, certainly there is concerns here from the White House and more Progressive Democrats as to how they keep the more moderates in line. Others behind the scenes are uncomfortable with the size of that Reconciliation Package. And Bernie Sanders and some of the progressives think it should be bigger. The White House is about 4 Trillion. Sanders thinks it should be 6 trillion. Moderates have given their blessing to this Reconciliation Process saying that they would be okay with this Budget Procedure that would just be democrats alone, need to keep all 50, mind you, the Vice President breaking the tie. Its a question of how much. And that is a concern. If they say they want to do about 2 Trillion and that leaves the 2 Million from the White House on the table and the 3 or 4 Trillion that some of the more progressives want, thats a big gap. If you appease the moderate democrats, could you lose the ones on the left. If thats the case, the whole thing falls apart anyway, there was an element of a Victory Lap to the president s speech to see. But this isnt over yet. And Senator Schumer and House Speaker pelosi have both indicated they want to bring both of these bills to get the process going, bring them to the floor next month in july. So they are going to be coming on two tracks at once and its going to be a very tricky Balancing Act for the White House to keep everyone in line, republicans and democrats alike, to get them passed into law. Lisa, i speak for everybody, glad to see you well. You gave us a scare there. It turned out to thankfully be just wifi. We were talking about the job that Chuck Schumer has and a lot of people have been surprised at how tough it is. All they heard democrats are going to have a Voting Majority in the senate. How tough it is to keep the caucus together. Did people see this coming . After the victory, two seats in georgia, there was so much celebration. Did they see the struggle for seats from arizona and West Virginia who already happen to have ds after their name . Well, its not quite as tough as its been for me to keep my wifi signal tonight, but its pretty close. Look, these are divides that the party had throughout the primary. I think President Biden got a bit of a reprieve on them, you know, in the first 100 days, the first couple months of his administration because there was this sense of crisis that democrats felt they just had to get economic relief, they had to get Public Health measures. They had to make real progress on the pandemic. And were past that acute moment of crisis and now i think the party is sort of hashing out these differences that were really on display throughout the entire campaign. And part of the issue here, as you alluded to, they have really thin margins. Sure, democrats have majorities in the house and the senate, but unless they keep every single democrat in lockstep in the senate, they will not pass that big bill that they want to pass and it has to be done by this reconciliation which is a specialized kind of legislative maneuver and they can only afford to lose three or four votes in the house. That makes this is a fragile Balancing Act for biden as he sort of works to keep both sides of this party on board. Of course, progressives think the plan is too small. A lot of moderates think its too big and biden is someone who knows these dynamics really well. Hes someone who spent most of his career in the senate who prides himself as a dealmaker, as someone who is comfortable with legislative wrangling. I think its going to be put to the test in the next couple of weeks here. Doctor, over to you and your expertise. Lets talk about this Delta Variant as were on the eve of a July 4th weekend where you dont need to be a soothe sayer to protect americans are going to be out and together and trying to enjoy independence day, but with this Delta Variant in the background, doc, under what circumstances should the fully vaccinated wear a mask, in some cases revert to wearing a mask indoors . Well, its an interesting moment, brian. We have right this moment, we have the World Health organization saying even if you are fully vaccinated, you should still wear a mask and keep socially distant. The cdc is not there at all. And dr. Fauci is somewhere in between. The problem is, the united states is a patchwork of policies and risks with respect to this Delta Virus. If you live in a State Or Community where the Delta Virus is running rampant. Its about 25 of the new cases are the Delta Variant, but if you live in utah, in alabama, mississippi and youre in a community where its spreading rapidly, you need to be careful. Step one, get yourself vaccinated for goodness sake. Step two, whether you are or arent, if you have the Delta Variant running wild in your community, you still probably should wear a mask and stay separated. Things will change. Theyre going to change rapidly with the prevalence of the Delta Variant. But in the meantime, were going to have to just be cautious, do what the experts are recommending, if we can sort through all of that. But this is what i say, get vaccinated, stay distant, keep your masks on if youre in a community where vaccination rates are very low, brian. Thank you, doc, Thank You for answering that. Lisa, im old enough to remember among our moderate president s a Courtesy Period of silence when former president s would disappear for six months, minimum, sometimes years at a time. They would go away. They would remain silent and let the new person take over and build their agenda. We are long since that being shattered, but given that, how unusual is this trip to the texas border, which is obviously going to be Red Meat to the trumpfriendly media, with the governor of texas, with a delegation of republican members of congress at this spectacle that were going to see tomorrow . Circle gets the square. Weve lost lisa again. Jonathan lemire . Oh, lisa is there. You know, i think part of lisa, give it a try. Sorry. I will not miss these days of wifi connections and zoom meetings. I dont think any of us will. Look, i think it is, of course, highly unusual for a former president to be out there campaigning in some form during his the next his successors term. I think what is interesting about this moment for President Trump is its coming at a point where hes facing a little bit of greater scrutiny and greater accountability. You have this case against his company that were expecting to hear a finding, the manhattan da. You have this commission investigating the January 6th siege thats going to be happening in congress. And you also have this series of books coming out with explosive allegations about some of the happenings during his administration. So i think in some ways, this is an effort by former President Trump to kind of rehash the greatest hits, to go back to the central message of his campaign, which, of course, build a wall, go back to the border, which is a weak point for the biden administration. Even folks who work in the White House will say that they know, you know, politically that they have a weakness there on the border issue. Its clear in the polling. And so i think that former President Trump sees some real opportunity here to not only rev up his base, as he wants to do, but also perhaps score a few political points on his successor. Doctor, sadly last word goes to you. I say sadly because of the topic. Something they im guessing they dont teach in med school. When do you know after a disaster like the kind we are witnessing north of miami, when do you know when to make that gruesome call that a Rescue Effort has now transitioned somehow into a heavy Recovery Effort . How long do we rely on hope, how long do we rely on the systems of the Human Being to stay alive Against All Odds . Brian, you know, way back when the haiti earthquake occurred and a couple hundred thousand people lost their lives, it became clear that theres a magic Rescue Window that ranges from around 72 hours. Meaning if we havent pulled people out of the wreckage within 72 hours, the hopes for survival rapidly fade and thats because you use up what oxygen is available, whatever water you have and you get dehydrated, not to mention dealing with severe injuries. We pass that 72hour Mark a couple days ago and while i remain hopeful that well do better than might be predicted, im afraid that a lot of people that are still missing will not come out of this alive. Its an absolute tragedy. By the way, very interesting irony that now were talking about fixing americas infrastructure. And fixing the environment that goes along with it is one of the things that will be addressed. Its a sad moment for the residence and the Family Members from that community. But we have a lot other kinds of Infrastructure Opportunities that we need to deal with which will happen once this bill gets signed, brian. Absolutely. Theres cause for federal dollars and theres cause for private dollars as well. Our thanks for your patience, our thanks for staying up with us and taking our questions. Coming up for us tonight, a live update from surfside, florida, on the Search And Rescue efforts following that devastating collapse. Man who may be the most hopeful in america at this hour, the mayor of that City Standing by to talk with us. Later, how much say should republicans have, how much will they have when that pelosi 16 commission gets down to the business of investigating . The 11th Hour just getting under way on this Tuesday Night. Y nig. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohns disease. Then i realized something was missing. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the 1 prescribed biologic for people with crohns disease. The majority of people on Humira Saw significant Symptom Relief in as little as 4 weeks. And many achieved remission that can last. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, Hepatitis B, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. It is right now our national sadness, the city of surfside, florida, now missing a piece of its skyline after the building collapse. In its wake, an entire community of residents is gone. The number of confirmed dead stands at 12 tonight. 149 souls remain unaccounted for. There are people under that wreckage. There is a gruesome decision approaching at some point when they switch from Rescue Mode to recovery. That is another way of saying a determination that what remains are just bodies, those remains, of course, are everything to the shattered Family Members, those Family Members and their Loved Ones are priority number one to the man before the break i called the most hopeful man in america. The mayor of surfside, florida, mayor Charles Burkett has been kind enough to join us again tonight. I know hes back on the pile at 6 00 a. M. So we greatly appreciate it. Mr. Mayor, i know this episode, amid all the heartbreak, as forced you into the role of researcher in your spare tiMe And Youve been looking into other places where souls have been pulled alive Against All Odds and in terrible wreckage and that must be what gives you hope, the most valuable commodity in your town. Ive gotten a lot of email over the past five or six days and that one email with the Bbc Article was the most relevant to me as far as the families go because it outlined the potential for quite a long Survival Rate underneath the rubble where one woman was pulled off the rubble crying after 17 days. Were not losing hope. Were not slowing down. Were not giving up. Were going to pull everybody out of that rubble and were hoping and praying for some miracles. Were going to have the president here shortly and im going to thank him for providing all of the resources and cutting all of the Red Tape and im going to tell him we absolutely thanks to all those efforts, dont have a resource problem, but we have a luck problem. Weve been weve had challenges after challenges after challenges but still the american team, the israeli team, the mexican team, the World Team fights on and we will bring these people home. How is it they have so carefully brought down so many thousand pounds of concrete, rebar, wreckage and yet we are still at 149 souls outstanding and unaccounted for . Well, i would say i would be careful with those numbers because nobody really knows how many people were in the building and there are no logs tracking people going in and out. I will say that the Sister Building which is a block away which has been an entirely different discussion was is lightly occupied at this point, fortunately, and maybe its the same situation with this building. We just dont really know yet and the only basis for which we have to make an estimate are the calls that are coming in for Loved Ones which are identifying those Loved Ones in the building. Yeah, i was going to ask you how that number was determined. Its become the coin of the realm in our business to repeat the number and its been updated once or twice. I know people airbnb out some of their apartments. I know its plausible people have visitors, people are away. So apartments could be have more occupants than normal, apartments could be empty that are usually occupied. Im guessing its something you work at every day as these inquiries come in . Correct, exactly. So its ive said from the beginning that i would be careful about those numbers, but i think as the days go by, that number getting stronger and stronger. Is there anything the president can tell you, is there anything the president can offer to you that would be comfort to you and your community right now . I think we owe the president a Thank You. You know, hes done his part. Hes done his job. Hes done his duty. As an elected official whos in charge for caring for the people of this nation, he has gone out of his way to make sure that we were taken care of. By the way, hes done it early. His White House called me the next day and told me in so many words that we were not going to have to worry about resources or Red Tape. And he has been true to his word on that account. As i say, by my math, you have just north of what is it, 6 1 2 hours before youre due out on the pile and in the vicinity of that former Condo Building comforting folks and cheering on the 200 people working every day 24 7 on that pile. Thank you for sparing a few minutes to take our questions tonight. Only the best of luck to you and yours in surfside, florida. Coming up for us after a break, new reporting on how a republican might end up on Speaker Pelosis select committee to investigate the capitol riot. We will name possible names when we come back.

No more Bulky Pads find your leakproof underwear at knix. Com i have No Doubt that mrs. Pelosi will have this be an endless committee process. Its all political theater. Thats what it is. I think the committee is fundamentally flawed. I think its overtly political. Its really not necessary. Anybody says its nonpartisan up here, thats a Joke And Everybody knows it. So seems to be going well so far. If thats any indication there wont be many gop yeses when the house votes on a select committee to investigate January 6th. Exactly who, ultimately, serves on the select committee has yet to be determined. We know there will be 13 members. Speaker pelosi gets to pick eight. Kevin mccarthy gets a say in the other five. A Pelosi Aide confirmed to Nbc News shes seriously considering appointing a republican with one of her unilateral picks. Well, back with us tonight, don calloway, democratic strategist, founder of the national Voter Protection Action fund. Bill kristol, author, writer, thinker, editor at large over at the bulwark. Gentlemen, welcome to you both. Bill kristol lets start at 30,000 feet. Is there in your most hopeful world, is there any construct under which the republicans and we just heard from a few regret voting no on a bipartisan commission . Most of them dont regret that. They think Theyll Vote against this, and say its all partisan. I think pelosi is going to appoint one republican, even Liz Cheney or the two republicans who have been willing to follow through and continue to call Donald Trump to account, the others have tried to go quiet a little bit, not pick more fights with trump, cheney has been fearless, and i think one of them could end up on that select committee. That will be interesting. But thats two republicans out of 210 in the house. They may be the only two votes for the committee. Don, i want to as a formality hear from congressman clyburn. This was on this network earlier today. Could you support the appointment of Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger to the committee using one of the speakers unilateral picks . Yes, i would, both of them are republicans. Both of them are conservative republicans. Both of them are real about what happened on January 6th. So i think that the speaker would do well to demonstrate bipartisanship by appointing one of them to the committee. So, don, you heard the man. You heard bill before the congressman, talk about Risk Versus Reward on appointing one of those two names. The republicans the democrats seem to like. Thats a great question, brian. Its important that we consider the speakers procedural powers here. The speaker can present eight members, the Minority Leader gets to present five members. But its important, the little word that you presented, the Minority Leader is to be consulted but it does not require his consent. Not even the five republican members really require the speakers consent. What the speaker is doing here is making sure that she can say that this was a truly bipartisan process rather than giving the republicans five platforms to talk crazy and filibuster on this thing. They can take their own time they can take one of the democratic spots to spit democratic Talking Points out of the seven democratic seats that are excuse me, eight democratic seats that are available here. Very important tactic. I think that will be a really, really smart thing for Speaker Pelosi to do. Theres no university under which kevin mccarthy, in his five picks, would present anyone other than the most hardline republicans. We have one in Marjorie Taylor Greene who in the words of chris tucker, she aint got nothing else to do. She can put all the effort towards this and thats a risk that the democrats unfortunately would have to take but they can mitigate by balancing out that time with reasonable points on the democratic appointee side. I think it will be a wonderful idea for Speaker Pelosi to use some of her picks with republicans who can say reasonable things on the side of what was very clear that this insurrection killed five real american people. Bill kristol, pelosi has apparently invited members of the d. C. Metropolitan police, members of the Capitol Police who were there on that day to be in the gallery for the vote. Obviously, it is a gesture. Will that gesture have any effect . Will it change a single vote, do you think . You know, honestly, i doubt it. The degree to which the republican party with the exception of Cheney And Kinzinger and a few couple others maybe, another dozen or 20 or 30 keep their head down, theyre all in on memory holing January 6th. Theyre convinced that they need to keep all of their people on board and make it seem as if its a partisan inquiry looking back. Look whats happening in arizona, look whats happening in the states on election integrity, the big lie. I wish i could say that the republicans will look up into the gallery and feel a bit of that. Both of these gentlemen have agreed to stay with us while we fit in a break. Coming up, even Joe Biden concedes his Infrastructure Deal has a Rocky Road ahead. Seems like the problems still lurk in his own party as well. Back with more after this. Largely will be those for bluecollar workers, the majority of whom will not have to have a College Degree to have those jobs. A lot of those folks are being left behind now. The guys who grew up with are being left behind. This is the answer for goodpaying jobs. President biden on the Road Today selling the bipartisan Infrastructure Deal to the american people. At the same time, hes still trying to convince some in his own parties. Politico says moderates are worried about too much spending while progressives are worried about too little spending and senior democrats are caught in the middle. How 2021 is that. Still with us are our guests don Calloway And Bill kristol. So, don, you get the first question in this segment which you may regret. What advice would you give Joe Biden for holding all the democrats, what advice would you give the democrats on the left and remember, say it with me, the unofficial slogan of the democratic party, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Don, its all yours. Indeed, in my lifetime, democrats have been fantastic at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. In the words of emen em, you only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. Joe manchin, He Cannot Trust Mitch Mcconnell and heck not trust Chuck Schumer that there will be another opportunity. Hes got to throw all of the spending and all of the possible things that can be construed by infrastructure into this one bill, go bill, go hard, or Go Home. And really the debate here, brian, is over classical infrastructure, roads, bridges, tunnels, pipes, and human infrastructure, which is what the progressives are pushing for thats affordable housing, broad band. Broad band is inching its way into the discussion of classical infrastructure. Were talking about what goes into the idea of infrastructure. And progressives are saying that we dont trust that the manchins and cinemas are going to give us another opportunity to do another bill. Biden has to go big and go hard. One big bill that encompasses everything, spending be damned or be worried about another day because theres just no evidence in the makeup of this congress that theyre going to create another opportunity for more humane, humanistic Spending Bill that encompasses a whole lot more than just classical infrastructure. Youve got to do it all with this one. Bill, im tempted to ask you a quaint question about isnt there pressure on republicans, especially in the senate, to get on board, to Go Home and brag on all they are bringing home in the way of goodies and jobs from washington. But im reminded, were living in the Post Truth Society where i remember a couple members of Congress And Senator wicker specific, if memory serves, who bragged about bringing home the bacon after not voting for the relief bill, told the restaurant industries, hey, help is on the way. I guess they can have it both ways. Republicans can vote no on constituent services and still claim credit for bringing home the bacon. Were living in such a polarized time that republicans can say theyre Voting Against Joe Biden and hope and maybe except a fair number of their constituents not really to quite, you know, care too much about what exactly theyre Voting Against. As you say, the members of the house to come home and take credit for various improvements and so forth. I dont think its its not the oldfashioned kind of pressure that you had. You showed that you were bringing home the goods and you got votes from people in the other party. That made sense when senators came from states that were closely divided. When i came to washington 30 years ago, each state had one senator from each states. So in a partisan world, theyre bringing home the bacon seems to matter less. It still matters some. I think biden is doing okay on this. Its complicated. You have a lot of zigs and zags and so forth. But i think Hell End up with some partisan some bipartisan bill. The smaller one theyll get through and theyll do a lot of other stuff in reconciliation. I think its good for him. He looks like hes trying to deal with the problems of the country while the republicans are opposing discovering the truth about January 6th. So i dont quite share the despair of democrats at this moment. I think the biden administration is doing okay. At least members of Gossars Family believes he should be removed. Thank you so much. Don calloway, bill kristol, Thank You, gentlemen. Well do it again. Coming up for us, the latest in the search for the origins of covid19 and possible ties to chinas military.

[ Me And You by barry Louis Polisar ] Me And You just singing on the train Me And You listening to the rain Me And You we are the same Me And You have all the fame we need indeed, you and me are we Me And You singing in the park Me And You, were waiting for the dark you may recall back in may President Biden gave the u. S. Intel community 90 days to investigate the origins of the Covid Pandemic and report back to him. So far those efforts have stalled without cooperation from china. Keir simmons has new Information Tonight on why that might be. Reporter this week, international scientists say china should not be allowed to block a full inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus. We cant give them a veto. Reporter in january, a Trump Administration Fact sheet accused china of secret Military Activity at a lab in wuhan. Former State Department Adviser David Asher helped write that fact sheet. Im very confident that the military was funding a secret program that did involve coronaviruses. I heard this from several researchers who observed researchers in that lab in the military lab coats. Reporter a leading researcher at the Wuhan Institute Of Virology insists its only a civilian institution. She was questioned this year by a former national security official. At the beginning of covid19, we heard the rumors that its claimed that in our laboratory we have some Projects Blah Blah with the army, blah blah, rumors. But this is not correct. Reporter but Nbc News has evidence the doctor herself has multiple connections with military officials. She and others collaborated with Military Scientists on Coronavirus Research in spring 2018. And with another Military Scientist in december 2019. In fall of 2020, an article that Scientist Article lists him in a footnote as deceased. Nbc has been able to ascertain the circumstances of his death. The State Department has repeatedly raised concerns over Chinas Compliance with the biological weapons convention. Questions over Chinas Transparency now central to President Bidens coronavirus inquiry. Brian . Keir, Thank You for that. Keir simmons remaining on this beat and providing our report tonight. If youve yet to catch up with todays crazy from the house floor, we have all the Crazy Queued up and ready to roll when we come back. Last thing before we go tonight, he might be the most ambitious man in washington, kevin mccarthy, the California Republican who wants so very badly to be speaker of the house. The man who has shown the ability, a cherished and necessary trade among elected republicans in congress these days, to say almost anything regardless of Truth Or Consequences for that matter. The same guy who said Trump Bore Responsibility for the riot and the desecration of the capitol. No problem, he was down at maralago faster than you could say insurrection. Today he did it again and were going to play a collection of his comments for you. It was the runup to a vote on a bill to remove from the Capitol Statues and portraits of supporters of the confederacy. He found a way to conclude the socalled crisis over the teaching of critical Race Theory. Let me state a simple fact, all the statues being removed by this bill were statues of democrats. I think the bill should go further. Maybe its time the democrats change the name of their party. They may be desperate to pretend their party has progressed from the days of supporting slavery, supporting jim crow laws. Today the democratic party doubled down on what i consider the shameful history by replacing the racism of the past with the racism of the critical Race Theory. Americas not a racist country.
