I will be but you here every weekend and luckily for us, there is a lot to talk about on our first night. of course, donald trump supporters showing up in washington, d.c. demanding the criminals who stormed the capitol back on january 6th, they actually should be freed because they believe they are actually innocent. now, congressional republicans. they re reluctant to condemn them and former-lead impeachment manager, congressman jamie raskin is going to be here live to talk about it in just a few minutes. plus, voting rights, infrastructure, and president biden s build back better agenda face a huge hurdle in the senate. and it s actually coming, though, from his own party. senator joe manchin, it is time for him to give up on the filibuster. that is the question many are asking congressman ro khanna is here to discuss that and a whole lot more. plus, you ever heard the medical argument getting the vaccine. everybody knows about it but what about the math argument for getting the ....
Led by a bunch of very cynical opportunists who know exactly what they re doing. you know, people like stefanik and hawley and cruz and rubio. you know, manipulating them into thinking that somehow these um highly-educated republican elites somehow care about them as a way of staying in power. it s going to be a very messed up situation. all right. senator boxer, quick one for you. you re a california resident scholar here. what did this week s recall election tell us about the future of the gop? was it about the candidate? was it more than that if the party continues to nominate these trumpy candidates like what we saw there with elder, are they destined to lose in all but the reddest of districts and states? i do think they re destined to lose. if you look at larry elder and, you know, in many ways, the recall was a blowout for gavin newsom. good for him. and it was a blowout for the democrats. but the big story is about the republicans. ....
but there s a third option here which is that a young man like gonzalez. a father, you know, married, kids. um you i don t think you can really criticize someone like that too harshly for saying um i m not going to serve in the congress of the united states if i have to put my family at risk every day from a mob that, you know, is sending threats. and basically, just doesn t, you know, a number of people who just don t want me there and will do anything to make sure that i that i don t serve in congress. this isn t you know, at some point, this becomes about quality of life, versus public service. for a lot of people. and i think if there were a a faction within the republican party that had any representation in leadership, you could probably say to someone like representative gonzalez, stay, fight. there are enough of you. you know, lead the party out of this dark place. the problem is the house ....
About that because i was making that point about the difference between the republicans that are courageous enough to stand up to trump. and those that are running away from it all. you have one republican unafraid to speak out against it. it s congressman adam kinzinger of illinois. let me play for you what he said to my colleague, hallie jackson, earlier this week. listen. i think it s ironic that, you know, that the the rallying cry is justice for january 6th. i mean, justice for january 6th would have been the impeachment and removal of donald trump. the calling out of people that are responsible which i am committed to doing. and lastly, i think it s time we we stop as a as a party or any leaders, accepting that somehow these ideas of oath keepers, which is basically a militia that wants to overthrow the government, that that s okay. like, we actually have we have conversations and disagreements in congress. we don t do it by this overthrow-the-government fetish that see ....
And not to surrender the party. but when you re dealing with life-threatening, you know, situations towards your family and children, it s a different ball game, entirely. that s correct. and i i agree with the comments that were made because i served in the congress for so many years. a mom, a grandmother. i you know cared so much about my family. this is a sad day for the republican party. to see a rising star this man was absolutely conservative. he was not a flaming liberal. he just felt very concerned that president trump had abused his power, and he voted that way. so, what i have seen in my lifetime in politics and i do go back a long way. my first election that i won was in the 70s. and i just want to explain this. at that time, the republican party was pro-civil rights, ....
