shuffles in the ground on politics which means delays before people feel the benefits. the self proclaims qanon shaman was just sentenced to 41 months for his role in the capitol riot. we'll have a live report for the kyle ritenhouse trial. we begin this hour with weekend today co-host kristen welker, and ashley parker. why is this vote so important? >> we'll see the house floor open up momentarily. we will probably not see the actual vote on this centure until later in the afternoon. they are with democrats on so many of these kinds of issues. we asked her why she felt it was so important to take this step today. >> it's an emergency, it's violence against women, it's workplace harassment. in terms of threatening a member of the united states and the president. we have to address it immediately and i'm so pleased that our members understand that this central to our work in congress that we protect the integrity of the house, of the institution, but also the lives of our men and women. outrageous on the part of the republican leader not to act upon this. >> you heard the speaker there want to make that point about the lack of action here. we have notenture in this body in this decade. that will happen for the second time this year and democrats will argue it is in large part because republican leadership sat on their hands while members have said wild and sometimes violent things about other members. >> and the relationships are so toxic now it is really unprecedented. ashley parker, this is one of the problems facing kevin mccarthy. he is also being accused of not punishing them for the bipartisan infrastructure bill if is something new for washington. >> especially because when you think of infrastructure, this was a key legislative goal of former president trump. the punch line was every week under donald trump was infrastructure week and there was always some sort of chaos or controversy. but the idea that 13 republicans that voted for something that is always bipartisan, and not just always bipartisan, but something that the previous president desperately wanted, he was still the de facto leader of the republican party, could lead to punishment gives a sense of how toxic things have become. and he is restoring, as he promised, bipartisan comedy do a governing body where it doesn't exist any more. >> the former president taking sides in all of this. giving the most extreme republican support, continuing to challenge the election, and punishing mccarthy for not being loyal enough when kevin mccarthy went down to mar-a-lago and did all of his demands, except for that one brief moment on january 6th, and maybe the day after. >> that is right. what we're seeing are these divisions within the republican party really come to the surface. as you are seeing just moments ago, the former president lashing out at mitch mcconnell again for supporting the infrastructure bill. that's the climate against which you have the current administration. the president knows that he will not get republicans on board with that second largest piece of his agenda which he calls a human infrastructure plan for it's funding of things like child care and early education. and so that is really the challenge i think for the democratic party. but you're absolutely right, you have former president trump looming over all of this discussion. and i think the thinking inside of house leadership, and of course garrett knows the nuances of this is to win back the house they cannot cast former president trump aside. they need to figure out how to win with him, they need him to win back the house they think. >> thank you so much. joining us now, the younger sister of congressman gosar. jennifer, this is feignful for your family because of the things he did and said are so well beyond the norm, do you think he should be sentured. >> i think that paul doesn't care about this, i would be embarrassed to have things like this printed about me. images, statements, so really it is important to have measures that hold him responsible. >> absolutely, i would not see this is the threat. he was with the same anime car toon, he was a hero with a death note. where he wrote death notes against former vice president biden and others. so at least from that we have grounds for more. however for all of the information that we learned, i believe my brother to be a co-conspirator in the coup attempt. i think it is the most appropriate next step after this but certainly senture and committee stripping is a good start. >> has your brother always been like this? >> no. i'm the youngest. when he was coming home from college i could not wait to see him. i would stay up, get up early, he was my tweet big brother, but by 2010 when he was recruited to run for his first seat in arizona district one i say him run on a platform with ab 1070, sheriff joe arpio. i thought that was openly negative, right? and he was convicted, right, of his work. so in that respect from 2010 on i saw an hotward problem, and potentially dangerous because threatening language can turn into something worse as we saw on january first. you know, i want to challenge the notion of what is lip in the republican party? can we say kevin mccarthy is really a leader or is he is a leading panderer. i thought it came from a base of integrity and decency and we don't see that from leader mccarthy. we don't see that from the bulk of the republican party and i want to call them out about it. i think they understand that concept. it is high time they face up. if we don't face the movements of donald trump and his people we will suffer it. >> again, thank you for stepping forward, it's very appreciated. yours is an important voice. thank you again. and we have some news from the rittenhouse jury in kenosha, wisconsin. gabe, the judge just read questions from jury, what do we know? >> yeah, the proceeding is going on right now. the jurors, are they permitted to have to view it in the courtroom, but they are looking at the video evidence. they are saying it needs to be shown in open court. the defense just came back and said fine, but they should not be able to view the drone footage again. earlier it was reported in this motion for a mistrial, the defense has been arguing that the prosecution of withholding the higher resolution copy. so withholding the higher resolution copy of the footage until two days before. the defense is saying you only gave us the low resolution. something else significant, not just the question, but the judge also made comments on several other things, you know the kyle rittenhouse was allowed to select the six alternates. he made it a point to say that is his policy for about 20 years and he ripped on the media for what he says is tarnishing the reputation of some of the attorneys on the case and said he would rethink allowing cameras in the courtroom in the future. >> let's listen to the judge. >> educated to make these decisions and that's where the founders of our country, the power, not with us. so i think it is insulting to the jury to tell them they have to have these restrictions on their viewing. we're going to sit down with the books and find out what the procedure is and we'll await what they want to do, but for now do we view the videos in private or in the courtroom and the answer will be in the courtroom. as for the exhibit number or photo, well, there is two options. one is that you can have all of them. you can have whatever you want, you can pick and choose, or describe fllly what you want. >> if they can just give us a description, i agree. i better write it down. general description, a description of what you would like, is that all right? >> yes. >> the only thing that i would ask about with regard to your answer, your honor -- >> yes, sir. >> i'm not sure if i heard you correctly, if we bring the jury back, if you plan on kicking erin else out of the courtroom, i think it might be helpful to tell the jury that. >> that's a good point, but don't know exactly who will be the kickees. certainly all of the media and the officers other than -- the media, the officers, and the question is whether or not the lawyers and the defendant, i don't know, we'll have to check that. i don't know if i'm supposed to be in here. i get the impression, and it's been a long time since i read one of these cases, i got the impression that it was supposed to be the bailiff, but i'm not even sure about that. so we'll have to look at that. i understand that is a good suggestion you made, but i'm afraid i don't know enough of an answer rights now. >> the judge said he will send an answer back. the question is can we view the videos in private, in deliberation, or in the white house. the answer is in the courtroom, but there was quite a discussion about who should be in the courtroom when they view the videos. the defense wanted to keep something out, maybe the drone video. barbara? the judge said he didn't know he would have to consult the books. i'm not sure if you can hear me, i'm hearing a hum on our line, but help us on what you think the procedure should be. coach the judge and coach us. >> just a few years ago when the jury asked, if they wanted photos you would send them back and they would assess and discussion them as they might otherwise for any exhibit in their deliberations. as technology has advanced and becomed more so sophisticated, it is difficult for them to watch it themselves. now it has to be shown in a digital file on someone's computer and it can be challenging. so rather than make them fumble and figure out how to do it themselves, you would send a paralegal but you don't that want person alone with the jury in the jury room. just fraternizing with them may give them a favorable impression. so they call them into open court. what they're looking at now is what the law of wisconsin says about whether or not there is spectators in the courtroom. this is a matter in open matter, but it may that under wisconsin law while the jury is watching them deliberate, perhaps there could be consider that members of the public could influence them, an audible gasp or something like that. maybe for that reason there is case law in wisconsin that suggest the better practice is to have them watch it outside of the presence of any members of the public. thank you, we will be back with developments. getting a boost. there could soon be a third covid shot for erin. you're watching andrea mitchell reports, we'll be right back. m reports, we'll be right back ♪ there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪ bipolar depression. it made me feel like i was trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place... ...and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be life threatening... ...or uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. these are not all the serious side effects. now i'm back where i belong. ask your doctor about latuda and pay as little as $0 for your first prescription. history says: fine jewelry for occasions. we say: forget occasions.

>> they tried the killers and they put them. and the family of khashoggi considered that verdict a just verdict. and they people there mourned him. they gaye him funerals at the two holy mosques. it was a heinous crime and unacceptable. but i didn't mention him or the murder in the book because it was not about him. i was not trying to avoid that. >> let me ask you about yemen now. it has been nearly seven years, a terrible war, billions of dollars, is it time for saudi arabia to find a way out of this. right now they are backed by iran, they are in control of the most important parts of the country. >> we hope that we don't withdrawal the way that american withdrew. i think we made our commitment to the legitimate government of yemen. and the security council resolution sportts the government and called on the committee to put an embargo on the arms. iran continues to break that embargo. it's not saudi arabia that has to account for that. they instituted a call for help. it is a supporter of legitimacy rather than a uprising driven by a small militia that took over in yemen. >> and on iran, the international inspectors from the u.n. have now just concluded as well that they are breaking and running centerfuges in an area that cannot be supervised. >> it is very concerning, not just with iran's development of nuclear weapons but with their conduct. two years ago they attacked the eastern province, and that, of course, is unacceptable. they kep supplying them with missiles and drones. >> do you think the new leader is as well responsible for the assassination attempt against the iraqi prime minister or is that a rogue group? >> i have no requested, but also the original deal was accepted by saudi arabia with assurances from mr. obama that it would prevent iran from having nuclear weapons. in a joint statement they agreed to under take actions to prevent iran disservicing activities in the area. that's why the king accepted the president's assurance on the deal. and so iran has to be held to account on these things. and they have not been held to account so far. >> so what should duo? >> i think there should be more sanctions on iran. that is my personal view rather than engaging with them. they have not shown any positive steps for not only curtailing the nuclear deals and enrichment, but their activities in the area. my dad -- they use blackmail to get what they want. developing a nuclear bomb is a method to blackmail the rest of us and into accepting what iran wants to do. >> we don't have much time, but will the saudis develop a bomb if they think iran is moving in that direction? >> i said publicly in the past that we should do whatever we need to, including acquiring the knowledge to develop a bomb, to defend ourselves against a nuclear arms iran. i'm not in government to say what the government is going to do, but this is my personal opinion. >> prince turkey, thank you so much.

how do you keep urban democrats, you know, people of color. young democrats of all ethnicities and keep and reengage rural america? >> well, i'm so glad that senator hidecamp raised this because i think that democrats have to contest for all voters. and i think that rural america also is not a monolith. that we have, there are issues that have impact in rural communities. just take this infrastructure package. focusing on expanding broadband so that people have access to information and students are able to get the education they need, the small businesses can thrive in rural america. those are issues that democrats can run in. and i don't believe that you have to sacrifice the concerns of urban voters for those of rural voters. it is not one for the other. it is both. i think democrats have to start contesting on issues of concerns of working families whether they're in rural communities or in our urban center. >> picking up on that point, david jolly, one of the other reports that we had this hour, terrible report is on the overdosing just reaching record levels in the last year. and the worst state is vermont. it's a rural state and hay the terrible opioid crisis. there are issues of concern to rural areas, as well. >> people in communities respond to opportunity. and to the extent that, you know, obama had the phrase ladders of opportunity, they government through either party can invest in ladders of opportunity and those parties will be rewarded. grow the economy, create jobs and demonstrate an appreciation for the diversity. the rich diversity of all american culture. the party that does that will succeed in urban and rural corridors. unfortunately our politics are so tribal, they seem to break along these fault lines of rural versus urban or geographic trends. but the opportunity is there for the party that is willing to speak to each community. >> heidi, at the same time a report captured in first read today of the president's travel. he's going to michigan today. and he has not been in a lot of rural states. >> let me tell you, one of the mistakes we're making is democrat on democrat violence. so we're arguing about the nuances of these plans instead saying why doesn't ron johnson why day care more affordable. why aren't republicans helping? one thing that we desperately need to do, andrea, if we need to win, we need to draw the contrast. who's with you in building rural communities and who isn't. and when we simply say we're going to talk about the great things we're doing, we need to point out they don't want to do these things. ron johnson doesn't want tahelp you with day care or improve your education or access to hospitals. we do. it's not just talking about what we're going to do, but talking about how they are obstructing the growth of american rural communities. >> well, it's a great insight and we really appreciate it. good to see you, again, senator heitkamp and donna edwards and david jolly, as well. coming up the qanon shaman. this is "andrea mitchell reports." that's next on msnbc. ♪ there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪ voiceover: riders. wanderers on the road of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee. well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually -- no, i-i usually have a destination. yeah, but most of the time, her destination is freedom. nope, just the coffee shop. announcer: no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. voiceover: 'cause she's a biker... please don't follow me in. ♪ voiceover: 'cause she♪s a biker... ♪ downy's been taking you back, since way back. with freshness and softness you never forget. feel the difference with downy. well, i'm sure you remember this guy. you've seen his face from images to videos of the january 6th insurrection. jacob chansley marching through the u.s. capitol with his spears, painted face, horned helmet. today appeared in a different context before a federal judge where he was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the attack. pete williams joins us. pete, what happened in court?
