supported by elected republicans how would president trump lose in an atmosphere like that. aided by allies all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. backed by unconstitutional legal strategies to declare president trump re-elected and accepted by millions. how many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people? this morning as we approach the one-year anniversary of the january 6th insurrection, i ll talk to congressman bennie thompson, chair of the january 6th committee, and to peter meijer, the rare elected house republican willing to admit publicly that joe biden won the election. we ll also look at how the big lie had its start in the 2016 campaign. the only way we can lose, in my opinion i really mean this, pennsylvania is if cheating goes on. then our democracy is in peril if only one side is willing to admit that it lost an election. welcome to sunday and a special edition of meet the press. announcer: from nbc ne
i want to ask a question. i haven t seen you in a minute. my question for you is, just how were your holidays, nicolle? i ll tell you honestly, they were harrowing. i left northern as this omicron thing that seems to be smothering our city. i was scared that i was going to bring omicron out to where my folks live, out west. we tested. my son sneezed for the first time in 20 months, i had a hard attack, we all tested, everybody was negative, but it was worth it. i think the tricky thing is to take all these smart great scientists and doctors, and all of them said if you re vaccinated, you test before you go, your family is vaccinated, it s safe to gather, but it s still a harrowing moment. even if you shut off your phone, you re aware of this omicron thing. it was great. i m glad i listened to all the smart people, by i have to say it wasn t without worry. how about you? thanks for asking. that makes total sense, and i think that s what we re living with. thank you for askin
agenda with an overwrite for spending. steve bannon facing possible jail time after stonewalling these investigators. no documents, no testimony, and they said they will hold him in contempt for not responding to the subpoena. if you re looking at steve bannon or any of this footage that reminds you he s had recent legal problems, that s because steve bannon was indicted. that trial never occurred because he called in a favor. and although him and donald trump had a famous falling out that had everything to do with ethics to how he dressed, then-president trump did pardon mr. banbannon, which means he g to skip what most citizens had to deal with. here he is, daring the prosecutors to go after him again, all because he s apparently listening to one ex-blogger in florida. he also said he would like to have his executive privilege back. it doesn t work like that. it s a nonsense legal argument because and i would say that for any president who just asked for it. the executi
one new hopeful sign, merck announcing their antiviral pill cuts hospitalizations deaths by half. it won t be a replacement for the vaccines, it s why local leaders and businesses have worked to implement vaccine mandates. three major airlines are now adding american, alaska, and jet blue and california becomes the first state to require covid-19 vaccination for students who attend in person class over the next few weeks. the fda will meet on pfizer s vaccine for ages 5 to 11. joining us to discuss, dean of public health at brown university. doctor, thank you so much for being with us. what would it mean for the big picture of this pandemic if vaccines are authorizes for children ages 5-11? i suppose that s a decent chunk that will get the number to go up somewhat. that s right. as a mom, the thought of getting my kid who lies in that bracket finally vaccinated, it s just huge. it takes a weight off of my family, allows us to feel less nervous about going out and about an
lawmakers are now openly pushing a wild racist conspiracy theory. the latest dangerous lie to make its way from fringe message boards to main stream republicanism. welcome to the lead. we start today with breaking news in our politics lead. there is no deal and no framework but there is a major development on capitol hill today. the moderate democratic contingent has finally publicly made a counter offer to the progressives $3.5 trillion proposal to expand the social safety net. joe manchin a key voice went in front of the cameras today to announce his top line number $1.5 trillion he says. progressives have for weeks been urging moderates to make a counter offer but it is less than half of what the progressives want and hearing it out loud may make it more likely the planned bipartisan infrastructure bill vote tonight will fail. as progressives have linked the two plans saying they want both or neither. if speaker pelosi ultimately pulls this vote today it will be again
