The same mindset, and its highly disturbing you still have people in america who want to take on democracy and destroy it. And this Afternoon Capitol Police arrested a man for a Weapons Violation saying that he brought a long knife to the rally. Lets go to Nbcs Elson Barber joining us from there. I know the crowds are much smaller, but for the most part with they remained peaceful . Yeah, i mean by and large they have. As you mentioned there was that one individual who according to Capitol Police was arrested. He is facing a weapons charge. They say he had a knife. We saw just a little while ago someone appear to be detained or at least surrounded and then escorted out of the area by Capitol Police in full riot gear. They sort of circled around this individual and backed out with them taking it behind the police barricade line. That was one of a couple of incidents we saw today. Apart from that, though, thick things really did seem by and large peaceful. This was not a huge ewhen you l
Today he briefly responded to questions about revelations in the book. According to the authors General Milly twice called his counterpart in china. Both times prompted by u. S. Intelligence suggesting china believe the u. S. Was preparing an attack, their fears according to the authors of the book based in part on the rhetoric toward china coming from the former president. Asked by general Milly Today heres how the president responded. Did General Milley Do The Right Thing by according to a Defense Official who spoke with cnn these calls were not done in secret without anyone else knowing. They were according to this official attended by 15 people including a representative from the State Department. General Mark Milley is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill later this month. The Woodward And Costa book goes into further details about millys concerns personally launching the attack. Apparently telling his subordinates he must be directly involved in any discussions regarding Military
You now need to add another key fact theyre ignoring. Milley did what he did with the consent of Trumps Secretary of defense, mark esper. So much for milley going rogue. So now what . Again, i still think milley has to testify. In the open, no National Security vail, no closed meeting, open meeting, why . Because then were going to have to hear interpretation from politicians. We know hes scheduled to speak in two weeks but were told part of it is going to be closed. Theyll stay theres National Security, im telling you its problematic. Even better, he should come here. Ill give him the full hour to explain. And there wont be competing agendas Going On. We can get after the truth. Without that toxic two Side Play Going On. But either way if hes going to go to congress dont get distracted. That Woodward Book Peril its not about Milley But Trump and his enablers, specifically confirming trump was as bad as reported and suspected. And that was known likely by many in the administration and
Come. Each Inflection Point in this Nations History represents a fundamental choice. I believe that america at this moment is facing such a choice, and the choice is this. We are going to continue with a economy with the overwhelming share of the benefits going to the corporations and the very wealthy or are we going to take this moment right now to set this country on a new path. One that invests in this nation, creates real sustained economic growth and that benefits everyone, including the working and middleclass folks that is something that we have not realized in the country for decades. The data, excuse me, the data is absolutely clear. Over the past 40 years, the wealthy have gotten wealthier, and too many corporations have lost their sense of responsibility to the workers, their communities and the country. Just look at the facts. The ceos used to make 20 times average worker in the company that they ran. Today they make more 350 times what the average worker in their corporati
Are about to blastoff on a mission around earth. Hello and welcome. Borisjohnson has his eyes on a Post Brexit, post covid future. Not that those two seismic issues have been entirely put to bed, the fallout will occupy government for years to come. But suddenly there is a Question Mark over what the purpose of this government really is. And a reshuffle usually gives us a clue. The trouble is this wasnt the most radical of reshuffles, today, certainly not the night of the long knives. Yes, the Foreign Secretary dominic raab, paid the price over his handling of the afghanistan crisis. Gavin williamson also expelled as the Education Secretary. But the chancellor, the Home Secretary and the Health Secretary all stayed put. The most intriguing move of the day was the decision to send Cabinet Secretary Michael gove, to the department of housing. Which might ordinarily be seen as a demotion. Except housing is now a key part of the Prime Ministers levelling up agenda. Maybe a clue to where th
