Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. Outfront. Breaking news. House republicans meeting Behind Closed Doors to debate the fate of liz cheney after she voted to impeach trump. That meeting lasted more than two hours. As her fate is up in the air, one thing the minority leader Kevin Mccarthy made clear already tonight is that he is picking a side. Marjorie Taylor Greenes side, a side of Conspiracy Theories, too fringe for fringe. A woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. A qanon supporter. Mccarthys words tonight, past comments by Marjorie Taylor greene on school shootings, Political Violence, antisemitic Conspiracy Theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference. Well, that is clearly not true because mccarthys actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. Nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees. By the way, theyre plum committees, educatio

i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. five men, one job, averting economic disaster on a global scale. will the participants in today s white house meeting recognize those incredibly high stakes and get something done? or will political partisanship push the u.s. economy closer to a first ever default. plus, tens of thousands of people arrested at the border, trying to get in before title 42 expires. thousands more waiting to get in. we ll get the latest from the border and have my conversation with one man who knows full well the politics and the passion associated with the immigration fight. that s coming up. and just days after that mass shooting in a mall, republican lawmakers in texas do something shocking, advancing gun reform legislation. but does it have any real hope of becoming law? so lots to get to. we start with a critical test for our government, to see whether the people in charge can steer the country away from an economic disast
mexico and attempting to enter the united states without going through our legal processes. we responded by using and ensuring there are two safe and lawful ways for someone leaving the country to come to america. that was one of the reasons you were proposing. first, if they are seeking asylum, they can use an app on their phone called cbpone. that s to spell it out. not the number 1. to schedule an appointment at a port of entry and make their asylum claim there without crossing the border unlawfully and have a decision determined by an asylum officer, do they qualify? second, in october we worked with the mexican government to launch a new parole program. there s another program you know it but the public may not. it immediately showed results by reducing the number of people crossing the border unlawfully. the way this parole program works, one must have a lawful sponsor here in the united states who agrees to sponsor you to get here. then that person has to go good
