welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. it is friday, may 28th, and the u.s. senate up all night, not to get lucky in the words of deaf punk, but the deaf part might be applicable. republicans are on the path to block apy bipartisan vote on th insurrection. that vote might not happen until this afternoon. why not earlier? there s a deploying of stall stack ticks on another bill. you may recall ron johnson denying the work of the insurrection and calling it a protest. many were elderly, overweight, plain tired or frail, traits not tippic cal to the riot-prone. they would never do anything to break the law, and so i wasn t concerned. had the tables been turned and president trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of black lives matter and antifa protesters, i might have been a little concerned. one of the reasons i m being attacked is because i very honestly said i didn t feel threatened on january 6th. i didn t. there was much
Prepares to leave it, bomb stell that jeff bezos and many of america s wealthiest millionaires paid little or no taxes at all. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I m chris hayes. A big divide among the people in this country who are, i don t know, trying to preserve american democracy. The others, beal hysterical. Going to be fine. It s always been fine more or less. It will work out. Today those two groups got together for a virtual meeting, two sides of the prodemocracy majority in the country. Right? every in the story wants to preserve american democracy. One side democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia recently announced with significant fanfare he will not vote for that huge bill to regulate elections and campaign finance and combat voter suppression called hr 1, for the people act, s1 in the senate and s also won t move to reform the filibuster. Opposite the virtual table from senator marchlmanchin, civil ri leaders saying feeling this is existentially
Good morning. It is sunday, may 23rd. I m ali velshi. Any day an independent commission could investigate the january 6 insurrection and attack on u. S. Capitol. If that vote takes place, it is expected to fail. Since right now zero senate republicans stand in support of it. Just 35 republicans in the house voted for the commission. Which would be bipartisan. And based on the the famed 9/11 commission. The crux of the gop argument was summed up by marco rubio who said the commission is a partisan joke and quote, about damaging republicans. Well finding out the truth about what happened on january 6 isn t actually partisan or shouldn t be. And the investigation isn t about damaging republicans, it is about finding facts and it just so happens to be a fact that the insurrection and the attack on the capitol was undertaken to extremists by the republican party and president. Rubio said there is no coverup. We already know what happened. But do we? because just days ago ron johnson publicl
Another thing he continues to deny the results of the 2020 election. Hours after reports surfaced of his ex s willingness to comply, yesterday s stop ground zero for false claims of election fraud where conservativeled audit of the county s 2020 ballots from the election is set to resume. They just think, oh, these are a bunch of resentful people. They can t take the truth. They re just in a state of de denial. You know what, we are working to make elections better if we ensure that the people who are taking the oath of office are actually who the people elected, then our elections will have more integrity. Gaetz is making it clear that he will continue to pay it forward for president trump s lies and inyourface defiance as prosecutors decide whether to bring charges. Paula reader senior legal affairs correspondent. Paula, give us the latest on this case. It does feel like, it does look like things are getting much more serious for the congressman. Yeah, they ve been serious, jim. They
To white wash and rewrite the shameful events of that day to avoid accountability and turn away from difficult truths. If we avoid confronting what happened here a few short months ago, we can be sure that intimidation, coercion and violence will become a defining feature of our politics. That was peter meyer, one of the few republicans who voted to impeach the insurrectionist former president speaking the truth, someone who doesn t speak the truth is this woman. Ms. Jewish space lasers herself, marjorie taylor greene, who in a deranged speech on the house floor actually uterred the sentence, quote, the people who breached the capitol on january 6th are being abused. She then continued, quote. When will the witch hunt of donald j. Trump and all of those who support him come to an end, end quote. Another member of the racist domestic extremist group proud boys has been arrested for his role in the attack, a florida man that goes by the name milkshake. Milkshake. As the washington post n
