But the reality is that we now have the shameful spectacle of a prime minister of the united kingdom being subject to a police investigation, unable to lead the country, incapable of doing the right thing, and every day his cabinet failed to speak out. they become more and more complicit and whats utterly damning. despite the huff and puff is that this is all happening when petrol prices, the weekly shop and energy bills are going through the roof. three months ago, labour suggested cutting vat ...

We have kevin mccarthy at the center of this. hes always been at the center of it. continues to be at the center of it. and the house should use every power that it has at its discretion, including an inherent contempt power that could see the sergeant of arms handcuff and detain kevin mccarthy in a locked basement office until he wishes to testify. there is no matter before the country thats more serious than this one. and beingity leader, being the leader of republicans does not immunize you e...

Already seen shows something, and ben was getting to that before, which is that they know better. this shows very clearly and concretely that he knew better. that is the part i find so disturbing about the whole thing. they clearly have contempt for their audience. 774 instances of them undermining the election in the first two weeks after it was called for biden. they built the scaffolding for the attack while simultaneously once it became clear the scaffolding they built would be operationaliz...

Saddam hussein got 117% of the vote. if people like manchin and sinema dont see this, i have a lot of contempt for them in that regard. i will say this. it is time for chuck schumer and the rest of the democratic leadership to take an iron cap to their knee caps. they think theyre empowered with this ultimate degree in which theyre the swing votes. if theyre going down, they have to toughen up. they need to go on work. because right now, mitch mcconnell runs circles around him every day. schumer...

Tether than what they had before. jen? >> youve been listening there to john kirby, the pentagon press secretary about the latest moves in terms of what the u.s. is prepared to do to stave off any russian invasion of ukraine and how they plan to support nato allies. joining us now is oren liebermann and kimmerly dozier and youve been listening, along with us. so what -- one of the questions that the correspondents asked why today, what happened in the past two days. so give us the contempt of wh...
