embracing its worst impulses? when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. today, the general six committee released brand-new video, showing just how reluctant donald trump was to condemn the violent insurrection incited. now, remember of course it took trump hours to publicly denounced the violence, and tell them up to go home. three plus hours when he finally did so, he released this truly deranged video message from the rose garden. i know your pain. i know your hurt. we had an election that was stolen from us. it was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. but you have to go home now. we have to have peace. we have to have law and order. we have to respect our great people and law and order. we don t want anybody hurt. it s a very tough period of time. it s never been a time like this, where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. this
money as well and so what you have is essentially the creation of a whole new generation of joe manchins and kirsten sinema s in the democratic caucus. this is the way it works now, post-sit sens united, limited spending from super pacs and the contusion as read by the conservative court is that this is part of the first amendment. what s also striking to me here is there s a new york times times one this that was pretty good. it was democratic primaries embroiled in aod debate over israel.of i thought it was a misstated thing. what s so hard here, in at least the races i ve covered, jess casse ramos and henry cuellar down in texas, the vast majority of i spending hasn t been anythg about israel or s palestine or anything. it s not like they are coming in and saying,ouyt look, andy levi critical of israel. haily stevens is a more stalwart ally. vote for haily stevens. they generally don t even mention israel. right. they don t actually want to have a debate about israel/palestine
the democrats in the house. beyond what the president did, and it seems like now the likely prospect he will be impeached for it, the bigger lens picture on what he was doing vis-a-vis ukraine is he was really weakening ukraine, that the u.s. has stood up for ukraine since they got invaded by russia 5 1/2 years ago. that we have been a real stalwart ally for them as they have tried to resist russia, not only taking part of their country but occupying another big swath of their country. the president s actions have been seen as weakening them and putting them in a worse negotiating position with regard to russia. now there is news today that the ukrainian government is moving ahead with a deal to basically i mean, i m sure there s lots of different ways to look at this but it seems like to sort of reify what russia has done, to let them settle with ukraine and letting them keep crimea and with elections scheduled in eastern ukraine so those parts of
$110 billion, which is an all-time record and letting russia have that money and letting china have that money, so what good does that do us? what do you think? i think the saudis over the decades have bought an awful lot of influence in washington and america. now they are politic reasons for going along with policy and a regime that we don t like in many ways, that exported terrorism, horrible human rights records at home but the main reason was oil, but we don t depend on saudi oil and the world depends less on saudi oil than it used to. what s the other reason, they are such a great stalwart ally against iran? i don t buy that. what are they really doing against iran? they are fighting a horrible war in yemen. we might be sort of on their side, but they are doing it in a way that s antagonizing everyone there and elsewhere. maybe, i ve been sort of anti-saudi vaguely for 25, 30 years, but this might be the occasion, a horrible tragic
i want you to watch this. when john saw an issue the same way you did you knew you just had found your most stalwart ally. you would thank your lucky stars. when you found yourself on the other side of the table as i think all of us learned, you were in for a different kind of unforgettable experience. what were some times you saw mccain abandon his party for the sake of his personal principles? i love that. hats off tonight for senator mccain. i had heard that clip from senator mcconnell. they had real tangles over money and politics and campaign finance which is something that attracted me to john mccain. mitch mcconnell fought him tooth and nail on a lot of those issues. that was an example of somebody rising up, somebody who had a lot of fights with john mccain. the great thing about john mccain we are celebrating this
