boy. nicholas joins me now. you were walking your dog overnight and felt the ground shake. tell us what happened then. well, first, anderson, let me say it s an honor to be on your show. i appreciate you taking the time to have me. yeah, this morning i m here visiting from phoenix. my father and my family. so i was walking my dog this morning. but at first felt the ground shake and what sounded like thunder. i thought honestly like a storm was rolling in. we ve had storms all week. but about 30 seconds to about a minute later it happened again but a lot more pronounced as the rest of the building collapsed. so i brought my dog back upstairs to the apartment, came back down and sought other individuals that were starting to come out to the street to see what happened. so we made our way down to the building. i could see that some of the balconies had fallen, some of the debris but it wasn t quite clear. fire crews showed up, emergency services. they started making a perimete
but the core is intact and will remain intact. david, do you think this leads to expansion? well, i think that is going to be the next battle. clearly, there is an appetite among democrats to expand coverage to strengthen the affordable care act. those of us involved back in the day recognized then this was not the panacea and that there were gaps that needed to be filled. i think there will be future battles over this. anderson, you know, i think the real battle over the affordable care act ended the day that john mccain came out on the floor of the senate and turned his thumb down and denied donald trump his dream of destroying the affordable care act. in 2018 this was an albatross around the necks of republicans who were seen as wanting to do away with a lot of what protected people with pre-existing conditions, protected women, protected older people being discriminated against in the health care system. it really hurt them. it wasn t really an issue in the 2020 campa
targeting trump s political opponents. instead, barr told politico he doesn t recall getting briefed, that doj prosecutors did any of this. wasn t aware of any congressman s records being sought in a leak case and that trump wasn t aware of who the doj was looking at in leak cases. remember, barr is also the man who couldn t recall during testimony whether trump had ever asked him to hope an investigation into someone. i want to ask you, what s more alarming, that they don t have a good explanation? that barr would lie this brazenly? or imagine if he really can t recall something he was at the center of. i mean, seriously? this story matters if for no other reason, that now any of you who thought that these were the people who were going to clean up the deep state, they weren t. 73 phone numbers, 36 email addresses including sitting members of the house intel committee and their families. trump s department of justice demanded metadata on all of them, from apple, as part of
including our special guest tonight 94-year-old opal lee, the grandmother of juneteenth. she ll be first to tell you it was a lot of people not just me. but, boy oh, boy what a journey of pain and purpose she has had to very much help this country get to today. so today when it was signed, standing ovations. hugs from the president. all kinds of shout outs at the white house. prepare yourself to be inspired. a rare opportunity to be with a civil rights icon in the midst of their work. people are now getting their arms around what juneteenth means. what it will mean for them when it comes on the 19th and to be honest we re not all on the same page about tomorrow or where we need to be as a country. now, a little bit of faqs. juneteenth short for june 19th, 1865. why then? that is when lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. no. it was 1863. this was more than two years later. why? slaves were kept in servitude. that is what the civil war was about. they rejected it even
good evening. i m mehdi hasan. i m sorry to have to report this to, but the past week has brought more confirmation that the crisis continues to get worse. in texas, despite the slight reprieve, republicans remain determined to pass a bill that would enact new and horrific restrictions on voting. it s one of niep bills to restrict voter registration in the state. a provision that would take away sunday early voting and hinderring black church goers? absolutely not, says republican representative, one of the bill s architects. he says it must be a typo. if so it s an awfully long and very specific typo. what about another provision that would make it easier for judges to overturn elections without any proof? why? that would be a horrendous policy says the same texas gop lawmaker. amazing. both of these things this lawmaker claims to be against he helped to put in the legislation. texas democrats are heading to washington wednesday to meet with vice president harris. maybe whil
