Backed out. This Fundraising Pair was on a street corner. Apparently, the Landscaping Company made famous by Rudy Giuliani was not available. People still showed up to see the two in california, including some of trumps Wildest Supporters that clashed with counterprotesters as this video shows. You can say its time to take republicans at their word, that loyalty to trump and to trumpism is who they are. Heres what Senator Lindsey Graham puts it. Heres what i can tell you about president trump. Hes heartbroken what is Going On in our country and at the world at large. He thinks he can mix it and he told me he has unfinished business. I will be shocked if he doesnt run for president in 2024. This is the party of president trump. If you think otherwise, you are in for a rude awakening. Lindsey graham says trump is the one to, quote, fix our country. No scare for all of the Destruction Trump has caused. This loyalty to come comes as we learn more about january 6th. Three new Bombshell Books set for release this Summer Detail trumps dangerous temperament in the final chapter of his presidency. Michael bender, the author of the book, we did win this election, the inside story of how trump lost, described the final Months Today here on msnbc. We know the story of chaos, in the four years of the trump presidency. Yu dont need to be a Wall Street Journal reporter to know that. What is striking in the reporting of this book is that many in the White House was concerned he was dangerous for the country. He asked his own teammates in the White House to have americans shot. Right. He wanted people protesting civil rights abuses to be shot. They have their skulls cracked. His own Secretary Of State was concerned that he might lean into a foreign conflict to hold on to power. This is where we find ourselves with one of two major political parties orbiting around a twiceimpeached oneterm president , whose loyal follows are standing on sidewalks and shouting as Coronavirus Surge thanks to the Delta Variant. As the unvaccinated account for nearly all hospitalizations and deaths. Kicking us off, hayes brown, writer and editor, the former hud secretary, julian castro. Hes an msnbc political contributor. And hear litman. Hes a legal Affairs Columnist for the legal times. Were going to talk about trumps response in the insurrection. What sticks out to you . And does the new reporting expose the former president to more Criminal Liability . It seems that the most sensational stuff has unhinged and taxic as can be. But for Criminal Liability, theres a crime out there. We know about it. What has to happen for trump to have liability, is for him to be connected with it. The excerpts that weve gotten so far, we have some of the prosecutors eye, but the more about complete crazed president and less about an act i think a lot of us felt. We had a pretty full picture. Hayes, you write this week about your frustration with the political tellall books. People are speaking out now about the dangers of trumps final months in office. How critical would it have been if we had known the information six months ago . I think extremely critical. If any of the people that are cited, like Vice President mike pences adviser, Keith Kellogg is in one of the books, that on january 6th, the day of insurrection, he was in with the president , trying to convince him to, please, send out a tweet or something, to get the mob to be called off. And the president just wouldnt listen. Would not do it. If he came forward with his belief, his testimony that trump would not call off the mob, during the impeachment trial, i wonder if things would have been turning out differently in the second impeachment. Would we have seen more republicans vote to convict Donald Trump and from bench him from running in 2024, as he seems to be gearing up to do. We could nip this in the bud, the whole idea that trump could come back to power, if some people had come forward with what they know, instead of waiting to tell reporters to go into these fantastic books. I told so much score for these books. Reporters not so much. Sounds like they are the actual awe the people in the room. Like john bolton, during the first impeachment trial, who refused to testify. Almost a year later, published his book and verifying everything that trump was charged with in the first impeachment trial. We could have had this done if the senate had been able to convict him during either of the trials. They couldnt or the republicans couldnt be forced to. People didnt come forward in time. Part of the reason were looking at this, is what happened six months ago, nine months ago. You can draw a line from hose moments and the conversations were having, about things like Voting Rights. Youve been hard for Senator Manchin to move on the filibuster. Amy klobuchar spoke about her effort to get him onboard. I want you to listen. Number one is to get republicans. I dont think thats going to happen. The second thing is, well, Senator Manchin has indicated some interest in the standing filibuster. Thats one way to do it. We could have it focused on Voting Rights only. We are continuing to work with him and many others to get this done. I wonder if you agree. And if you are hopeful that he could move on this issue. Well, of course. Im hopeful that he will, you know. We have people pushing for voter legislation, including his colleagues. Something that will allow voting Rights Legislation to get passed. You can draw that line because it all started with the Big Lie, trumps lie about massive Voter Fraud in the 2020 election. The pinnacle of that was on january 6th. We saw the disastrous consequences of that. And then, we saw more consequences in the spring, as State Legislature after State Legislature, passed legislation to suppress Voting Rights in texas, and georgia, and other states around the country. Democrats will have to grapple with that. America will have to grapple with that. The best way to do that, i believe, is to pass voting Rights Legislation. For the people act and the John Lewis Voting rights act. We have to get past the filibuster to do it. To think were not, that is naive. Republicans bought into trumps Big Lie, i dont see them saying theres ten of us that are going to agree to vote Rights Legislation. Thats not going to happen. A lot comes to the question of whether pressure can be applied effectively. Launching a new Ad Campaign against ron johnson. They are slamming his whitewashing of the capitol riot. Youre failing us, senator johnson. You refused to investigate the deadly attack on our capitol. Access to the polls matters to all americans. And yet, you blocked Voter Protections that has the support of democrats, republicans and independents. You are more committed to the lie. It was all peaceful protests. And rigging the system to retain power than you are to protecting wisconsin its. Is that the sense of your voter that that is targeting . My sense is probably republicans and independents in the suburbs. Madison, people who vfrl bought into the Big Lie. But are not normally democratic voters. They can be swung into who ron johnsons opponents in the midterms. The perniciousness about the republican plan is to try to make sure that voter doesnt really have much of a say, in the upcoming elections. Statewide elections like the one for u. S. Senate, is very hard for them to manipulate them in the same way they can manipulate races in the house and the presidency. It will be interesting to see if that Ad Campaign will be effective, in the republican ability to swing the rules to their advantage, will be more limited. They cant redistrict their way into fixing a u. S. Senate election. They cant really throw up as many blocks in a state election. It is imperative, like Secretary Kath Row said, to pass vote Rights Legislation, to make sure that people who would be swayed by that, can have easy access to the ballot, to the polls come the midterms. I want to highlight a column from nicole wallace. She writes, the attack on democracy, spearheaded by the expresident and enable today be gop, represents the greatest threat since 9 11. In many ways its more difficult to defend against. After 9 11, No One called the hijackers normal tourists. No dun denied the horror. The fight against domestic extremism in offer military, Law Enforcement and communities, may be the most fraught Counterterrorism Effort in modern history. Untangling it from rightwing Disinformation And Propaganda will require constant vigilance. That same information, fuelling the attack on Voting Rights. Is there a way for democrats to work against the fortss to proVoting Rights . Well, what its going to take is countering that information. Thats why the conversation that folks are having for the note for facebook and other social Media Platforms to take disinformation much more seriously, to be much more aggressive is so important. Its going to take a lot of resources to counteract the disinformation thats out there and put forth a positive vision for the country. The good news is, going into the 2022 midterms, number one, trump is a president who under his watch, lost the house, lost the senate and lost the presidency himself last year. That doesnt bode well for him. This time, the democrats have a very good story to tell about competent, effective government, when you think about getting shots in arms. The economy improving, the jobs being created and getting back up and open. You have two opportunities, the toxicity of trump and how effective Joe Biden has been doing. On police reform, on infrastructure and climate. Thats going to help democrats. The select committee to investigate the attack on the capitol should take shape later this month. We look at what happened. We talk about accountability. Is there an opportunity here . Of course, there is. They have subpoena power. Weve never had the full account. Beginning to piece together what should be a clear account. But its mindboggling that in the wake of trump, when Lindsey Graham says its the party of trump, that means that the Big Lie still is out there. It has to be suppressed, Little By little. As facts become established this that official 9 11, big manual way, it has to be the case, litting by little, that the truth emerges and the Big Lie recedes. It will require some work, as Congressman Castro is saying, at the ballot box. Thats the thing that will defeat them. Thank you all. Next, Texas Democrats take their fight for Voting Rights before a national audience. Look what they have planned this week. Plus, the clock is ticking on passing an infrastructure bill. Congressman Lois Frankel on what that will take to make that happen. First, Richard Louis on what other stories are out there. D. C.

Now, thats making a difference. Republicans are waging an allout war on the right to vote across america, and democrats are mobilizing to fight back. Today senators Amy Klobuchar and Jeff Merkley along with Stacey Abrams met with voters in georgia to discuss impediments to Voting Rights. And they met at a spot where some voters waited in line for hours in 2020. The process of electing our leaders is not a partisan process. Our selections may be partisan, but our elections should not be. Our elections are how we determine the course and the quality of our democracy. And it should not have as a respecter of person any Party Or Part of how those elections are galvanized. Todays roundtable items as the poor Peoples Campaign and its partners are launching a season of nonviolent, more, direct action. They say their goal is to demand congress end the filibuster, pass all provisions of the for the people act, and fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights act. Joining me now, the cochair of the poor Peoples Campaign. Reverend, always good to see you. Tomorrow, women are going to take part in the moral Monday March as part of this campaign of direct action. Talk to me about the significance of the date and what we should expect. Thanks so much for having me. Indeed, tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day. 100 women from more than 30 states, from dozens of partner organizations, the head of the presbyterian church, the head of different major Labor Unions will be out taking action together, demanding the demands that you said before, right . The passing all of the provisions of the for the people act. You know, restoring all of the Voting Rights act. You know, the fact that we have fewer voting Rights Today than we did 56 years ago is is a disgrace. So women will be taking action in front of the Supreme Court and by the Senate Office buildings, demanding that this democracy is defended and that we, you know, make sure that we expand Voting Rights in this moment instead of trying to attack people by denying ourselves both the right to vote and to elect leaders who are going to pass policies that will lift the 140 Million poor and lowincome people out of poverty and make this Society Work for everyone. Part of what makes this all so challenging is you both have the macro Going On, right . You have this push for federal legislation. You have this national framework to try to make sure people understand this as a moral issue. And at the same time, theres an election that is coming one way or the other, and voters need to know what their rights are. They need to know how this is going to impact them. Stacey abrams, Senator Klobuchar held a roundtable with Georgia Voters today. What is the most important thing that those voters need to know, these to understand about the obstacles to voting that are being erected by republicans . Well, again, since 2020, 17 states have passed Voter Suppression laws, and there are hundreds being entered into 48 states currently. And this is on top of already having fewer Voting Rights than we have for more than 50 years despite the fact that people have given their lives for the kind of demanding and the expansion of this democracy. So what people need to know is that who is hurt the worst when deny people votes is poor people, lowincome people, working people of all races, of all creeds, of all geographies because what happens is that elected officials come into office, are smuggled into office because of Voter Suppression, that then pass policies that attack the vast majority of people in our society. And what we also know is that people across the board, across party lines, across geography, all are saying that we should actually expand Voting Rights right now, that we should raise wages, and that we should actually lift from the bottom so that everybody could rise. So what these politicians are doing, these extremists are doing, is actually hurting the soul of our democracy. And we we cant stand for it, and we need to do something about it, and we can. It doesnt have to be this way. We can pass federal legislation right now thats in writing that John Lewis and others helped to write that will actually expand Voting Rights and help then to lift poor people. I have to ask you your final thoughts before we go. Youre in the thick of this fight, and i wonder how far you are willing to go. Well, what we know is that 100 women [ inaudible ] reverend, i think unfortunately we have lost your audio, but hopefully we will get a chance to speak with you again. Thank you so much for your time. Next, a crucial week for infrastructure and Bidens Ability to get his ambitious agenda through congress. Congresswoman Lois Frankel is here next.

Senator Rob Portman calling this Wednesdays Deadline arbitrary as debate continues over the 579 Billion bipartisan infrastructure bill. We shouldnt have an arbitrary deadline of wednesday. We should bring the legislation forward when its ready, and its incredibly important legislation. Its been talked about for years, and yet its got to be done in a thoughtful, bipartisan way. We dont want to rush this process and make mistakes. Portman says a crackdown on Tax Evasion is out of the question, claiming democrats plan to pay for their human Infrastructure Package with that approach. Joining me now, democratic representative Lois Frankel of florida. Shes the cochair of the democratic womens caucus. Congresswoman, i think when most of us hear this talk about how this will get funded, its just very easy to get lost in the technocratic elements of the bill. Can you explain in just like normal people talk what it is were talking about when we talk about how to fund this . First of all, alicia, great to be with you. Just to let you know, i just spent the day with my 2 1 2yearold grandson. I raise that because i think for me and most americans, what is important to them is their family. So what id like to talk about is what we are trying to do, namely in this reconciliation package, make the Child Tax Credit permanent, make sure that people have access to affordable, quality Child Care, that we are lifting the wages of the people in the care economy, have paid family leave. Were one of the only countries in the world that doesnt. So, you know, not to get caught up with not that the Tax Part is not important. I think for me, im focused on what we need to do, and im going to leave it to the president to figure out which way he wants to go on the taxes. Well, i think part of what were all trying to understand is how this gets done. So heres how Transportation Secretary Pete buttigieg frames the Infrastructure Negotiations right now. Take a listen. Now, early on in this debate, if you remember a few months ago, when we were talking about human infrastructure, i heard a lot of republicans saying, oh, you know, Child Care is great. Building veterans hospitals is great. We just dont think its infrastructure, so you should put it in a different package. Fine. Now its in a different package. Lets see if Theyll Vote for it now. So how confident are you that both bills are going to pass through this process . Well, let me say this. Im, you know, 100 for physical Infrastructure Package. Yeah, lets modernize our roads and bridges and so forth. But i will tell you this. I think for most families, parents, when they wake up in the morning, the first thing they think about is not their tires on their car, not that the tires arent important. They think about their family. They think about their children. Will their children be fed . Do they have a safe, quality place for them to stay if they need Child Care . So this socalled package that is not the physical infrastructure but, to me, is important to keep our economy going is as important. I think specifically when youre talking about the Child Tax Credit and this question of whether or not it can be made, the expansion can be made permanent, there are a lot of families that are wondering what thats going to look like for them. One mother telling time magazine, quote, its like waving a Candy Bar in a dogs face. If youre going to get us dependent on it and then take it away. What would you say to those parents . What i say to them is were going to get it permanent for them. The Child Tax Credit is a gamechanger. Its probably one of the most impactful, historic pieces of legislation that was in the american Rescue Package that congress has ever passed. It is not only a good, middleclass tax break, but is lifting 26 Million children out of poverty. What does that mean . Not only for the future of those children but for so society because children who are in poverty are at much higher risk for diabetes, for not doing well in school, and so its a Win Win when we make this Child Tax Credit permanent. All right. Congresswoman frankel, thank you so much for your time. Next, where Fridays Ruling by a federal judge declaring Daca Unlawful leaves Hundreds Of Thousands of dreamers.

Apartmentsdotcom. The most popular place to find a place. In a test to, quote, own the libs, my next guest argues tennessee republicans are doing their damnedest to keep minors from getting covid vaccines. In recent days, theyve stopped Vaccine Outreach events at tennessee schools for covid and other things like polio and hepatitis, which the cdc, as you can imagine, finds concerning. I find this incredibly disturbing. So not only is it disturbing for covid, but it is disturbing for all vaccine preventable illness, which we really cant afford and dont want to see surging just as were trying to tackle this covid pandemic. So other vaccine preventable diseases, hpv, measles, mumps, rubella, these are all vaccine preventable and we need all of our children to get vaccinated for all of these things. Remember, the Delta Variant continues to infect more and more americans, and those unvaccinated account for nearly all Covid Hospitalizations and deaths. So it is baffling to hear claims from tennessees top immunization official, who says she was fired for promoting covid vaccines to teenagers, claiming she received a Dog Muzzle at work only days before her ouster. My reaction was, you got to be kidding me. This is a vaccinepreventable disease. I think its all politics. You know, we have a super majority in the legislature. We have a governor who needs to run for reelection next year. We have a commissioner who has stated in the tennessean that she plans to run for Governor Or Senator or get a White House cabinet position. Its hard to imagine that my Firing Wasnt at least in part an attempt to placate those legislators and keep them on their side. Wow. These antics begging a question. What does it say about the republican party and those who continue to elect lawmakers who are willing to put kids lives at risk for the sake of a political win . Joining me, daily Beast Columnist Wajahat ali. Wajahat, there are so many things to unpack here looking at tennessee, starting with this effort to stop Vaccine Outreach for young people, not just with covid vaccines but basically all vaccines. Thats right. Republicans have become a prodeath party, and theyre using tennessee like they always do as a type of laboratory for their most extreme measures that they want to implement on a national scale to ensure minority rule. Tennessee has tripled its cases of coronavirus in the past three weeks. Only 38 of tennessee is vaccinated, far below the national average. So naturally the tennessee republican lawmakers have pressured the Department Of Health to ban all outreach of any vaccinations to kids. Like you said, not just coronavirus but also measles and hepatitis and rubella. So are you going to make measles and corona great again apparently to own the libs. And while this is happening, Governor Bill Lee has decided that tennessee has to be one of the 19 states in this country that has permitless carry. So while Gun Violence is rising and killing our kids in mass shootings, you can own a gun and carry a gun without a permit, but god forbid if you do Vaccine Outreach during a Health Crisis that is killing, like you said, the unvaccinated across the country. You have dr. Anthony fauci saying this morning, talking about the dangers of disinformation. Take a listen. Wed probably would still have smallpox, and we probably would still have polio in this country if we had the kind of false information thats being spread now. If we had that back decades ago, i would be certain that wed still have polio in this country. We talk a lot about disinformation circulating on social media, but here is a state blocking Information And Access to lifesaving vaccines. I think often we talk about the politicization of this. Were now talking about it institutionally. An entire part of the gop has become a radicalized countermajoritarian force. Along with right wing media, theyre radicalizing our fellow americans. Theyre just people trying to survive, but thanks to misinformation and social media, vaccine hesitancy, even two years ago, was a top ten global health threat, alicia, according to the world health organization. This is before coronavirus. As of right now on fox news, you have hosts who, by the way, all got vaccines. Rupert murdoch, he got vaccines. Tucker carlson, he got vaccinated, actively promoting disinformation and encouraging their base not to get vaccines because vaccines, just like masks, have become weaponized as part of the ongoing endless Culture War to ensure minority rule. That rule is for White Christian males in this country who are losing their power, and as such, it was not economic anxiety but cultural anxiety thats motivating trumps base. Thats why you had republican Madison Cawthorn saying biden is going to go Door To door and try to vaccinate you and take away your guns and your bibles. And this is why we have, now, a radicalized minority in this country that is not going to get vaccinated as coronavirus is surging and killing literally those who are unvaccinated. For kids at home, under 12 are not vaccinated. And kids are in the e. R. And getting longterm health problems. The prolife party, the gop has become the prodeath party to own the libs. Meanwhile, these cowards are all vaccinated. They dont have the courage of their convictions. Thats why i dont respect them. If they have the courage of but all of them are spreading this lie to feed the base which has become radicalize to own the libs and innocent people are going to die. Thats why your article made me do a double take because what were talking about here are children, right, children who may not have political thoughts of their own yet who are simply looking to their parents, to their guardians, to the leaders in their state to keep them safe. Thats sort of the baseline you need to execute on any of those positions. What does it say, i asked this question at the top, what does it say about the party and what does it say about us as a society if kids become pawns in some political theater . What were witnessing is a nilistic death cult, a party willing to burn down everything including their children to maintain, lets be honest, white power. Climate Change Denialism thrives and Gun Violence doesnt care, they love their guns more than they love their kids and the fact this they are not even doing Vaccination Outreach for measles, mumps, for hepatitis and for the Delta Variant which is killing unvaccinated all across the country shows to you how far they have gone, how right wing they have gone and how extreme they have become. Theres no both sides here and the fact that kids are being used as a pawn for the Culture War. Unfortunately we have not seen the depths of their depravity. Thank you for your time.
