Good day, im Chris Jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. Desperation and danger growing as critical aid remains stuck at the egypt, gaza border. A live report from cairo as humanitarian workers warn that the main hospital on the strip wont have electricity for much longer. At this minute, House Republicans just started huddling Behind Closed Doors after a short time ago, jim jordan failed for a third time to lockdown the votes to be speaker. In fact, he actually lost support between the second and third rounds, and to say frustration is building in the republican conference is a bit of an understatement. Im really recommending against this flurry of new votes when the votes are absolutely not changing. That is a fact you can take to the grave. Everyone wants to stay here l reflect and go back to the days weve had over the last two weeks and say we did it to ourselves, folks. We did it to ourselves. And then breaking, in just the last half an hour, an extraordinary and hi
city right now? well, stephanie, it s had a tremendous impact on us as well as overall society. we are no different, we work and live in the same opportunities as angelinos this last week, we saw a five-fold increase in the number of affected officers and resulting in their quarantine. i m thankful that the vast majority are quickly on the mend and will be back at work here shortly. the challenge with us is not unique to us but we re working through t we re taking protective measures, vaccinating our workforce, doing everything possible to minimize the risk to them, but we also mourn the loss of 11 of our personnel we have lost to this pandemic. the risks are real, we re working through it, the dedication of our men and women is real, it s what they do, and i m proud of them. the concern for many, though, is there s not going to be enough people on the job to keep the city safe. right now gun violence and crime are on the rise in l.a. this last weekend a fatal
democrats. manchin supports the filibuster. he supports the 60-vote threshold. he supports those measures. he supports those tactics. so i m not sure why people think all of a sudden he s going to change his point of view. he s not. he s made that abundantly clear. he s not and the base doesn t matter to him. you wrote this morning in punchbowl news that democrats have a big decision to make when it comes to the january 6th probe. what are you talk being? reporter: jim jordan and scott perry two close allies of donald trump have said they are not going to cooperate with the probe. this is interesting, steph, let me dwell on this for one quick second. jim jordan has suggested that congress doesn t have the right to see his deliberative his deliberative work, anything that he was talking to the white house about when it comes to legislation. he s invoking the speech and debate clause which protects members of congress from having to divulge things that they use in the legislative p
causing symptoms, not causing serious illness. that is we call it a primary diagnosis, that s cancer. a secondary or tertiary diagnosis incidental to the admission, so what s really threatening or really needs attention is your cancer, not your covid. this is actually quite common with lots of other diseases. you might come in with heart disease, you also have diabetes, but that doesn t mean the diabetes caused you to come into the hospital. but it s another sign that omicron is becoming omnipresent in our lives. given that do we need to start accepting it as our new normal, perhaps changing our restrictions, our quarantine rules? stephanie, you re absolutely right. we are we re not getting rid of covid. it s not going to disappear. we re not going to eradicate it. we re going to have to learn to live with it, just like we learned to live with rsv, adenovirus, flu. we are not there yet. when you have 140,000 hospitalizations, you have 1,500
week told reporters including jake and me that he supports some modest changes to filibuster rules, things like requiring the minority to talk on the floor, hold the floor while obstructing, changing the thresholds to three-fifths of senators voting and present rather than 60 flat. it s highly unlikely that those would enable passage of a voting rights bill because republicans would be happy to fight it on the floor. sinema s position has been that she supports the filibuster because she worries about radical swings in federal policy from one government to the next if it is eliminated. many of his colleagues object to that but she has a vote. senator chuck schumer the majority leader appears likely to force them to cast their votes on the floor, put everybody on the record about where they stand on voting rights. he seems to have decided that he doesn t want to be the majority leader who doesn t do everything possible to get voting and democracy legislation through. he believes and man
