Where ali is filling in tonight. I was already ready for a fun show but you super charged. A few minutes ago i was listening to you and dan goldman have a conversation when you uttered the words, the my pillow guys soliloquy, words i never thought i would hear in my life. Im deeply appreciative for you kicking it off for us. Have yourself a great game and well talk about the bucs on monday. I will do, ali. Thank you very much, my friend. Thanks, friend. All right. Well, tonight it is a tale of two parties, one is governing and the other it is not clear what the other party is doing. Republicans are destroying themselves from inside, consumed with feuds over how loyal they can be to a former president who incited an insurrection. And fighting over what actions to not take about the dangerous conspiracyspewing congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene. Meanwhile, democrats want to pass laws and help americans who are hurting from the pandemic. Today joe biden made it clear he will pass his co
Americans had already died from covid and we all knew it was going to get so, so much worse. The future was looking then, and would turn out to be, incredibly grim. On that same day, april 11, a woman in missouri said publicly she had made an important discovery, one that if true, could turn the whole pandemic around. This missouri woman, her name is Patricia Derges, was licensed in missouri as an assistant physician. She had done med school at a school in the caribbean but she hadnt been accepted into a residency. She wasnt a full doctor. The rules say a person with midlevel professional accreditation like hers can only do so if they do it in collaboration with a fully accredited doctor. Theres nothing wrong with being a physician assistant, theres lots of room in our system for lots of different licensed professionals. But i think its safe to say that april 11, just about a month into the coronavirus pandemic, this is not the person you would expect to be announcing that in fact she
Good day from msnbc World Headquarters in new york. Welcome, everyone, to weekends with alex witt. Developing this hour, President Bidens 1. 9 trillion plan is one step closer to becoming a reality. In a new excerpt from cbs news, the president giving a new insight into where key provisions like Minimum Wage Hike Stand as lawmakers work to get the bill to his desk. Its somewhere between an individual making up to 75 and phasing out and a couple making up to 150 and phasing out. But im wide open on what that is. You also want to raise the minimum wage to 15. Is that something you would be willing to negotiate on to get republican support . Apparently thats not going to occur because of the roles in the senate. Youre saying it will not be in it . My guess is it will not be in it. Today marks one month since the attack on the u. S. Capitol left five people dead. The Impeachment Trial will start just days from now. Trumps defense team confirming he will not testify under oath. Congressman
Nearly 3 billion lawsuit in which he plays a starring role. Others at fox news do as well. And then a Battle Of The Ages and for the ages, of course, tom brady versus Patrick Mahomes in the super bowl tomorrow, coming up later this hour, were going to talk about that as well. I want to start, though, with nbcs mike memoli traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware, and nbcs ali vitali on capitol hill. Thanks for joining us on this. Mike, i want to start with you on this one and the president s worry, shall we say, about the former President Trump. This is the first time that you had a former president who essentially is going to be barred from Intelligence Briefings, right . Reporter well, yasmin, thats right. This would be the case if thats the final decision thats made by the white house but you know what . This is par for the course because the last time i was speaking to you from here in wilmington, it was during the president ial transition and what was one of the storyl
And hours long session on the critical measure that could pave the way for President Bidens 1. 9 trillion relief package. Jillian Griff Jenkins has a breakdown, you always win. Reporter more exciting than watching the super bowl you can watch your senate hard at work on votearama. Theyve been at this since 2 30 p. M. Yesterday. It is a timehonored tradition where the Minority Party forces the Majority Party to endure endless amendments putting senators on the record. Any senator can offer an amendment to the Budget Measure and so far 850 have been filed and as we have seen overnight more than 30 reached a roll call voice vote on the floor. Unclear when the ends. We are told maybe in an hour or so. We will keep you posted. Some amendments pass, others fail. When it did pass, senators todd young, proposal to block Illegal Immigrants from getting stimulus checks. It was adopted but 42 lawmakers voted against it and some of the issues which range from tax increases on Small Businesses to t
