Yeah. Am i going to be in the same block out of this or can i take a break . Okay. Oh oh, my god blp. A cicada. What the hell . Do i have more on me . I dont see any more. [ bleep ]. Are they in my hair . No, not in your hair. [ bleep ]. Yes, thats right. Where are the cicadas coming from. How do they get there into the where were you, in the russell rotunda, right . What was going how do they even get in there, and gross, right . Yeah, look. In the context here, its important. You know, a couple minutes before that happened, there was actually another cicada that allegedly fell out of my pocket. And that happened as i was waiting to Go On. Our Producer Morgan said a cicada just fell out of your pocket. And i saw it on the ground and i was a bit stunned. And i was indoors. We had just come from outside about 30 minutes before interviewing senator john thune, and perhaps the cicada, one of those buggers jumped on me as i was running back into the capitol. And then i was preparing for th
Ignorance, or as democrats say, proof of republicans, quote, fear to Donald Trump. A short time ago Gop Senators blocked the bill to create that independent bipartisan commission that would have tried to find the truth behind the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. The final Senate Vote was 5435. With these republican senators voting in favor of that bipartisan commission. These are the same senators, except for rob portman, who voted to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment for inciting the insurrection. Ten republican votes were needed to create the bipartisan commission. They didnt get it. Cnns Jessica Dean is on Capitol Hill, has been following all of this. So, we showed the republicans who voted for it, but there were 11 senators, mostly republicans, who did not cast a vote at all. Are they explaining why . Reporter well, the explanations are kind of trickling in this afternoon, victor and alisyn. We have heard from a number of people who said they had Family Members
That math at this hour is if thats going to happen, that would mean that some republicans would have to change their minds over the course of the Afternoon And Evening because John Thune, whos technically the Vote Counter on the republican side, he announced confidently today we have the votes, we have the votes to block this. So i agree with you. I think it is possible because this is just an extraordinary thing for the republicans to be Voting Against. So there might be some republican senators at this hour who are struggling with this decision, but it would have to be a change of mind among some of them at least from this afternoon when John Thune was 100 confident, he and Mitch Mcconnell, have the votes to block this. Im unclear as to what the glory is in that, in winning that battle, but a lot of things confuse me. You know more about these thins than i do so i Look forward to your analysis this evening. Have yourself a great show and ill talk to you next week. Thank you, ali. Wel

At zero experienced Hunter Biden Tonight who according to his own laptop called his own lawyer the nword multiple times and newly unearthed text messages. We will have a lot more later. So i asked barack, any comments at all for hunter or joe . Now, you do have to wonder if Hunter Mind that kind of Body Language from joe. Remember, joe worked with the former Klansman Robert Byrd to stop the emigration of public schools and buzzing. He didnt want public schools and his kids to grow up in schools that were racial jungles, his words. Barack, that was your advice as Vice President. We will get to all of that coming up but first we are months into the
