president biden looking for a gas tax holiday but will it pass? the senate passing the first gun legislation in years as frustration grows in uvalde. that s what we re watching this hour. we begin with the house insurrection committee revealing new evidence of donald trump s personal involvement in a coordinated effort to target and intimidate state election officials. the committee highlighting the courage of the people who refuse to be intimidated, who continue to do their jobs and to stand up to those efforts. the committee used the fourth public hearing to highlight just how severe the threats to our democracy is. that threat that was faced in the days and weeks after the 2020 election, as the former president and his aides promoted the big lie to put forward slates of fake electors in key battleground states. we also learned in the hearings that trump s personal attorney rudy giuliani admitted they have no evidence of fraud to back up these dangerous claims, and the pl
Sedition. Before votes to commit sedition, months of lies about the election. Now cory bush has introduced a resolution to expel the lawmakers who sought to invalidate the election results. Thats twothirds of the House Republican caucus of the she specifically mentions ted cruz, josh hawley and congressman mo brooks, who led objections to the electoral college. Brooks even more specifically and directly incited that protrump crowd on the morning of the terrorist attack, telling them this. Today is the day american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. Now theres a growing call for these republican lawmakers to face at least some consequences for enabling and inciting this deadly delusion and attack, as democratic senator joe manchin and republican senator pat toomey told me yesterday. Whether they should resign or not, i dont know how they can live with themselves, knowing that people have died because of their words and actions. Theyre going to pay a big price for this. I
President trump, this meeting with the british Prime Minister theresa may. Stay right here as we gear up for the new president s First White House press conference. That scheduled for just one hour from now. It is a giant test. The new president s first steps on the world stage have been sufficed to say, a bit rocky. A war of words and threats of a trade war with mexico. Whose president abruptly canceled a planned trip to washington when President Trump signed an order for fast action on the wall. Unless mexico will treat the United States fairly with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless and i want to go a different route. We have no choice. Both the president and Prime Minister owe their jobs to blue collar frustration with globalism and immigration, but these are two very different leaders. President trump calls the Nato Alliance obsolete. Prime minister may calls it essential. He talks with making friends with Vladimir Putin. She says be very careful. President trumps America
Someday we had to decide to make the move. Democrats call it coldhearted and will try to get congress to repeal the order today. This executive order was meanspirited, unamerican. It was implemented in a way that created chaos and confusion across the country and it will only serve to embolden and inspire those around the globe who will do us harm. Emotion from the senates top democrat. President trump, though, not impressed. Im going to ask him who is his acting coach. I know him very well. I dont view him as a crier. Theres a 5 chance it was real, but i think they were fake tears. Significantly, though, this is much more than a partisan fight between the president and the democrats. Many republicans are condemning this action too. Some on the substance arguing the order is a recruiting gift to isis. More republicans, though, are furious that the Trump White House rushed the order out without giving key agencies and the Congress Time to understand it. This process and these conclusion
Trumps cheerleader role in the birther movement, questioning president obamas legitimacy or his new war of words with a civil rights icon who now questions the legitimacy of trumps victory. Trump over the weekend labelled congressman john lewis, all talk after the georgia democrat told nbc he viewed trump as an illegitimate president. This past hour lewis spoke to an mlk event in miami. I said to you as young men, the future leaders of this state, the future leaders of this nation, the future leaders of the world, you must never ever hate the way of love is a better way. The way of peace is a better way. So i said to you as role models, never give up, never give in, stand out, speak up. When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to Say Something and not be quiet. Read into that what you like. No direct reference to trump there, but you get the point. Team trump thinks lewis owes the president elect an apology. Lewis allies see it the other
