Don t see what the net gain here was. And i think a lot of black people will watch this appearance and then they will point to the former president and they will point to the republican party and say this is exactly why wouldn t you never give you all the majority of our support? i m curious what you make of a line that we ve heard him say before, but he drilled down on it today and he was asked a follow up. He sort of ignored it. He makes the argument that he s the best president for black people abraham lincoln yeah as a republican. Your response based on what metric i mean, based on what metrics honestly are there some good benefits i would argue in terms of conservatism culturally speaking, shore i think we re not a more relativist party shor are we good on the economic front? yes, i think we re better than democrats and liberalism on international relations. And the idea of free trade and capitalism but i think when you make these sorts of assessments, before people who have the e
the committee investigating january 6th now targeting six major players in trump s orbit. these men and women were some of the former president s closest allies in the days and weeks leading up to the deadly insurrection and theinclude for national security adviser michael flynn. the architect behind trump s plan to overturn the election, john eastman. former-campaign officials jason miller, bill stepien and bernard kerik who participated in a meeting about overturning the election. this is a who s who of trump s big lie. and trump, no doubt, paying a lot of attention right now because they know a lot. and they said a lot. i mean, they said a lot even that we heard. just listen to eastman speaking to steve bannon on january 2nd. bannon warning of a climactic battle if pence didn t step up and refuse to certify the election results. are we to assume that this is going to be a climactic battle that s going to take place this week about the very question of the constitutionali
risk or who work in high risk environments. and elizabeth cohen is here. tell us what it means. we can remember that back around the middle of august, president biden said that boosters for everyone and now, well, that is what it looks like we re on the road to that happening. if you remember in september, pfizer received authorization to have boosters, but only for certain people, for people over 65, for people with underlying medical conditions. and while that was a good hefty percentage of americans, it wasn t everybody. so now what will happen if the fda give as green light to this is that anyone over the age of 18 will be eligible to get a booster. and it will be interesting to see will the cdc say that everyone is eligible but we really only want to encourage specifically certain people should get boosters. it will be interesting if they put sort of people in different categories. but at the end of the day, it will be if this passes anyone over age 18 will be eligib
