Conversation with congressman smith. It was rather interesting. Somebody asked me, actually, whether symone gave him the business. If you know symone, you should not be surprised. I did not even say anything. Often times i am saying something but this time i did not say anything. You get in trouble for saying nothing. At least, alicia, you are quiet over there. I don t want my face to do too much talking. It is a look. It is a look at velshi starts right now. The morning. It is sunday, july 21st. You are watching velshi on msnbc. I am charles coleman filling in for my friend and colleague ali velshi. We have a lot to talk about. What a difference 72 hours makes. It was only three days ago when donald trump first took the stage at the republican national convention and declare, quote, the discord and division in our society must be healed. But yesterday, during his first campaign rally since being injured by a gunman last saturday, trump reverted to his usual combative tone and delivere
I think they re committed to making a half term president. They don t want him to get a victory this big heading into the summer. I thought there was no such thing as halfway presidents. You know what? halfway cooks, halfway crooks, halfway presidents, we get those occasionally. Mitch mcconnell is trying to make sure he s a halfway president. Jason, thanks for working extra. We ll see you soon and we ll see nicole soon. I want to welcome everybody to the beat. We have a big show tonight about prosecuting the trump organizations literally like the mafia. We had breaking news there. Also something when i hear from these viewers i know something you are excited about. New york city candidate maya wiley is here tonight on the eve of this race. Early voting already underway. We begin with escalation in another story, the federal sex crimes investigation of republican congressman matt gaetz of florida. We have known he s under investigation for sex trafficking and possibly sex with a minor.
Implications for the fight against the pandemic that the j j vaccine will now be made available in the united states. This vaccine is key to the rollout because it s one shot and it does not require ultra cold storage. This committee debated and heard as many from six hours. There was discussed whether women under 50 would be given a different option. The final vote was 10 votes in favor and 4 against and one abstention. Looks like j j s vaccine will soon be in the game with new warning labels and patient instructions. We recognize there s a very important and serious risk. As of wednesday a rare clotting continue was reported of women given the vaccine. All women and most between the ages of 39 and 50. Seven remain hospitalized and there were three deaths. This was a time to educated women on how to respond and treat clots. I have a different set of things to look for than i would two weeks ago and it also changes how i treat clots if i find them. These very rare clots are treatable.
they re also inadvertently triggering a backlash. for the first time kevin mccarthy is publicly saying what so many had surmised, that he wants to purge his fellow republican leadership of one liz cheney because she told the truth that trump lost the election. he wants to replace her with congresswoman elise stefanik who has been parroting many of trump s election lies. we will have a vote next week and we want to be united in looking moving forward, and i think that s what will take place. do you support elise stefanik for that job? yes, i do. that s how it goes down, official there. he s also now just put out a letter we just got ahold of to house republicans but of course to the nation because everyone will be able to read it and see it that urges them to formally remove cheney. the vote is set for wednesday. if all this sounds familiar and seems like republicans are making it hard on themselves, that s because it is familiar. the republican house caucus already
allegations against him. we begin with rudy giuliani. our cameras have caught him outside his apartment that was raided. he s back on television doing what he did that gave so many clues to investigators. talking about it all on tv. talking about himself. this is, to be very clear, the opposite of what any prudent lawyer and someone like rudy giuliani, a former prosecutor, would advise most people in his situation. he s also making up stuff. he s saying he was framed. he s saying a raid he called quite professional, is now, quote, out of control. when something like this happens and it goes to fruition, if they can do what they just did to me, to you they can do it to you. you don t see this for what it is? a political act. it s not a political act as a matter of law. indeed it s an independent judge who signed off on at least reasonable suspicion that there s evidence of a crime in giuliani s residence, his apartment or office. reuters reports warrants for giuliani s
