Of the election and about the result of the election. He is making claims that are dangerous, completely false, and doing so with an interviewer who is not an interviewer at all. This was not hardball, not even softball. This was tee ball. Maria bartiromo once a feared and acclaimed journalist known for working the floor of the new york stock exchange, forcing ceos to tell the truth, now sits behind a desk and invites the president to lie and lie and lie. To do it for more than half an hour, to do it 26 days after the election. 22 days after fox and all of the other Major Networks called the election for President Elect joe biden. You might have thought after a week or after two weeks the president would start to accept the reality that he lost. You know, he hadnt given any interviews for three weeks. He had not even called into fox friends or newsmax. It was a good deal that he gave had interview. His very First Television interview since the election. I would tell you he was defiant
Um yes, desperately. Also i want to call the police but maybe youre the police. Yeah. Just incredible. Thank you, my friend. Well done. Well done. And thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. Tonight we are going to be joined live this hour by the person who is fast becoming one of the most familiar faces and voices of the new administration, jen psaki, white house spokesperson is going to be our guest tonight. Even though were only one week into the administration, i can show you this many pictures of her conducting different White House Press briefings because we have daily White House Press briefings again. She does these every day. Under the Trump Administration, they started out bad until they disappeared entirely. They seemed not to be able to handle talking to the press every day and bring questions. But immediately day one, President Biden brought back the briefings and jen psaki is the spokesperson. They started reversing things that were broken by the previous presiden
Be made permanent and the speaker of the house is rather ominously warning that quote the enemy is within. The acting chief of the Capitol Police department recommended the fence remain around our Capitol Building indefinitely and that there be a Back Up Force always stationed nearby to respond to any such violence. This follows yesterdays warning from our own department of Homeland Security about the potential for attacks by those inspired by the assault three weeks ago now. And an attack even Donald Trumps former defense second said was fomented by the former president and all of it because of the big lie. A lot of members of congress have received threats to their lives while in washington. And back home in their districts. 32 members of congress have now asked House Leadership for more protection. We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. A threat that members are concerned about. In addition to what is
Every day and bring questions. But immediately day one, President Biden brought back the briefings and jen psaki is the spokesperson. They started reversing things that were broken by the previous president as they set to restore some of the basic things that had gone by the wayside over the years like daily briefings. As they set taught pass ambitious policies and programs that biden campaigned on, that democrats in congress campaigned on, it is sort of awkward but i think unavoidable to realize that one crucial thing that going to make the lifeordeath difference as to whether or not the new administration and new congress are actually able to get stuff done is a thing that we only have because of Richard Nixon being such a terrible president. And specifically because of something that Richard Nixon did right before he resigned. And it seemed like nothing much at the time. It got not that much attention at the time, but it very well may now determine if the biden presidency and the De
Learned after his firing. All that and the amazing story of a popup vaccination drive in a traffic jam in the snow. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It is now three weeks since the january 6th attack on the capitol. A day that will live on in american history. People will study that day for decades and probably centuries to come and the majority of republican Members Of Congress who again voted on the side of that mob voted to overturn a free and fair democratic election, to install the loser over the winner against the will of the people, the majority of republicans, the ones who have done that, they have nothing to get back on the right side of the boundary they all crossed that day. On january 6th, with their votes, the members moved from what might be called the government of a loyal populous moved into Something Different and dangerous. Today nancy pelosi described the terrifying situation they find themselves in. I do believe and i have said th
