System perfectly rigged by and for republicans. How is that constant ufo sightings just became a thing . A pentagon started taking Ufos Seriously. All in starts now. Good evening from New York. As we have watched republicans vote to kill a January 6th commission. Per sue the slow Motion Insurrection in the states. I thought about Mike Pence. Of the hang the Mike Pence chant. What does he make of this . Remember the role he played that fateful day in the history of american democracy. I suppose we should start with credit where it is due.

I guess nice job Mike Pence. For being unwilling to do so of course he was the target of trumps ire. You can make a plausible case Donald Trump in Word And Action put Mike Pence in physical danger that day. In a speech shortly before he was due to certify the Joe
let s get over to the white house. jeremy diamond is standing by for us. jeremy, it is ambitious. how is he going to pay for it? that is where the rubber meets the road. . w what you are hearing? president biden said he is planning on paying for this american families plan by increasing taxes on the wealthiest of american individuals and corporations. and we know that president biden according to my colleague, he spent a lot of time yesterday finessing that portion specifically of the speech. he knew this was going to be the best opportunity to make the case to americans over the noise of republicans who oppose the tax increases that it is about paying their fair share to pay for programs that will benefit the country as a whole. we heard the white house press secretary continuing to make that case today as well. listen. his promise to the american people is that people who are in the 99% of people who are making less than that are not going to have their taxes go up. wha
former member of the republican party. garrett, first to you. you just came from the speaker s briefing. her news conference not too long ago. we ve heard some pushback from speaker pelosi on comments from senate leader mitch mcconnell yesterday regarding a potential commission to look into the january 6th attacks. here was some of that exchange. i m disappointed in what i heard the minority leader yesterday mcconnell say on the floor of the senate. i had the impression that he wanted to have a january 6th similar to 9/11 commission. it seems when he spoke that he was taking a page out of the book of senator johnson. it was really disappointing. he said we could do something narrow that looks at the capitol or something broader to analyze the full scope of political violence problem in this country. we have a domestic terrorism challenge in this country. the biggest buckets under that category of domestic violence were white supremacy, anti-semitism and another list of xeno
tornado hit. the girls got in to the bathtub in preparation for the tornado doing everything that they should. but the family was about to be thrown in to the air with a force that nothing could stop. and tragically anniston, the 9-year-old of the three sisters didn t survive. her two sisters miraculously did. 7-year-old avalyn on the left, hours later, described to her aunt what it felt like. she said yes, i was flying around in the tornado. i prayed to jesus to take care of me. he spent me out. the tornado spit me out in to the minus. martha: incredible story of that family and this little baby, oakland, two months old made it through the weekend, but she passed away monday. succumbing to her injuries. they think she had a stroke in the middle of this. we tell you these stories so we can remember these little ones and also to impress on you the shear unbelievable force of this historic tornado that our country is in the process of recovering from. you have 100 people th
the damage. it spans a good number of miles. so it s a lot of ground to cover. but i did do an aerial survey yesterday, and i could tell you that the track is continuous from south of casey in fulton county all the way to at least beaver dam when we finally turned around. so the damage that we have surveyed so far indicates that the rating is at least an ef3. however, we have experts who are on the surveys right now, and also experts within the national weather service that are looking at the data and will be looking at possibly upgrading that rating as well. on behalf of the national weather service, our hearts go out to each and every person that has been affected by this tornado. and that affects us locally and across the entire weather service where we ve had numerous people come to us and say how deeply sorry for everything that s happened here. but as we get more information, we will definitely release that to you. we have lots of surveys to continue to do over the next
