it is the top of the hour. here s our breaking news. the house expected to vote tonight on president biden s build back better bill. let s get you live to the capitol now. there it is, where the house minority leader kevin mccarthy is trying to stall the vote as long as he can. there he is doing his thing on the floor. whenever he wraps up democrats are set to pass the sweeping $1.9 trillion bill, dramatically expanding social services in the u.s., working to address the climate crisis and delivering aid to families and children. this is a huge part of the president s domestic agenda. but still faces an uphill climb in the senate. we re going to talk about all of it. first up, though, i want to go to our congressional correspondent mr. manu raju for the very latest. he s at the capitol. good evening to you. very latest on the vote for the president s social safety net package. what do you have? reporter: well, it s uncertain because kevin mccarthy is on the floor. they don
are set to pass the sweeping $1.9 trillion bill, dramatically expanding social services in the u.s., working to address the climate crisis, and delivering aid to families and children. this is a huge part of the president s domestic agenda, but he still faces an uphill climb in the senate. i want to go to our congressional correspondent, manu raju. very latest on the vote, what do you have? reporter: it s uncertain because kevin mccarthy is on the floor. they don t have filibusters in the senate in the house, but he is performing what is essentially a filibuster, which is under the procedures in the house, the majority leader and minority leader have what s called the magic minute. they re given one minute to speak, but they really can speak for as long as they want, and that is exactly what kevin mccarthy is doing. he started at 8:38 p.m. eastern time. we are now past 11:00 on the east, and he is still going, and there s no clear sign about exactly when he will speak, bu
thank you. good morning to viewers in the u.s. and around the world. it is friday, november 19th. i m braun wianna keilar with jo berman. you re looking at live pictures of the house chamber now, in minutes speaker nancy pelosi is expected to speak ahead of a vote on president biden s build back better social agenda. the bill is poised to pass along party lines. it is a major milestone for the president. a vote was planned for last night, but kevin mccarthy had some other ideas about that. the republican leader taking to the floor, he started talking and then he didn t stop for the next eight hours and 32 minutes. he swerved from one topic to another during a record-breaking talk-a-thon that did force democrats to delay the vote until this morning. beyond that, it is not really clear what was accomplished. so assuming the bill passes today, and democrats do think they have the votes, the burden falls squarely on president biden to sell it to the senate and ultimately th
care if you get sick because yolo. an answer to everything. taking over america and meh, and history is mean. cancel it. to be clear, this is not a substantive party. take, for example, congressman matt gaetz, who is still under investigation for alleged sex trafficking of a teenaged girl, which he denies, and who has faced zero consequences from republican leadership for that embarrassing mess. here he is defending kyle rittenhouse. you know what? kyle rittenhouse would probably make a pretty good congressional intern. we may reach out to him and see if he would be interested in helping the country in additional ways. this is not a joke. kyle rittenhouse is on trial for murder. it s as serious for his family as it is for the families of his victims. it is not a joke. but it is to matt gaetz. and that, that is the kind of unserious thing that you only say if you re from a party that is so bereft of purpose that it dominated by internet trolls obsessed with dangerous viole
message on boosters and thanksgiving gatherings. and senator elizabeth warren on the big money interests trying to stop a biden bank regulator as the ghost of joseph mccarthy returns to the senate. i don t mean any disrespect. i don t know whether to call you professor or comrade. senator, i m not a communist. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. you know, congressional censures of colleagues are rare. it makes sense. if you think about it. look, members of congress don t want to set that precedent, potentially open themselves up to censure of their own. they re not generally in the business of policing each other s behavior. kind of a live and let live approach. that said, censures who happen. not very often, but from time to time. when conduct by a member of congress is so egregious it requires formal condemnation. now, before last night, this was the most recent censure. it was more than a decade ago. a dramatic moment in w
