Doesnt appear as if theyve crossed that line yet. you know, that is a big threshold from them, when theyre going to do it. theyll probably have to go there. >> give us your brief assessment, if you will, on the likelihood that the democrats will meet their self-imposed christmas deadline to pass the build back better act. its just ten days away. >> yeah. our edition this morning was focused on this. this morning it doesnt feel like -- sitting here wednesday morning, it doesnt feel like it. our r...

Is a different threshold for them to do so. mark meadows was the former chief of staff to the former president at the time of january 6. just like steve bannon was not a member of the administration at the time. so there could be a little bit more of an executive privilege claim there. just a little bit. again, a great question for pete. but, i will say, the fact that last night in this house vote only two republicans voted to hold meadows in this criminal contempt referral compared to nine repu...

Did it another time. they agreed to another exception to the filibuster. grandstanding republican senator mike lee of utah wanted a vote on some pointless amendment what they call a messaging amendment last week. he wanted a vote on that so bad that they agreed to make an exception to the filibuster for that random thing mike lee wanted to pass the week before last. they agreed there would be an exception from the filibuster for that amendment. it would just be a majority vote. mike lees amendme...

Providing documentation, while it was robust, does not meet the threshold alone. and so we do have conversations. we do have conversations we want to start with him on those documents that must be nonprivileged because he sp supplied them to us himself from his personal devices. clearly those are questions we have but clearly people within the presidents orbit should be bounds. >> how do you respond to the people from maga media, fox and elsewhere who say, look, there couldnt have been a conspir...

For that amendment. it would just be a majority vote. mike lees amendment still failed even with the 50 vote threshold. but that means twice in the past two weeks the united states senate has agreed to carve out exceptions to the filibuster for specific votes. once on a pointless amendment that didnt pass anyway and once to raise the debt ceiling. that vote is tomorrow. how is it that we have spent a year of carpet bombing beltway press coverage about how the democrats cant overcome this filibus...

This playbook, although it could cause severe disease. one of the pieces were not talking about a lot are a lot of pediatric hospitalizations in south africa, and theyre starting to see this in the u.k. as well. thats another thing im looking out for. in some cases even a rash among kids. so you have to have a pretty low index of suspicion or high index of suspicion in terms of recognizing that a lot of the non-specific symptoms could be covid and have a low threshold for getting your child medi...

Damage assessments to safely reach that federal threshold, to open up some federal public assistance or individual assistance programs. so were moving on that pretty quick. >> how do you think the timing of these storms impacted how people were able to get to safety, the warnings that went out, the off-seasonality of this event? >> yes. so the first thing, you know, tornadoes are not unusual in arkansas. just like flooding, were used to having them. the citizens are used to them. they take a lot...

Authority to make the request for a federal declaration. we think thats coming. thats been taken care of in kentucky and illinois, i believe, i think we will probably -- i dont know if we will reach the threshold immediately or not. there has to be further assessment to the damage, but whatever the case we are going to see the state of arkansas and the community around here will rally to support these folks and in the meantime we have been contacted, my office has been contacted by white house s...

Does happen. were ready as we into see on the ground in edwardsville, and frankly midwest and mid south, everyone is coming together to help each other. that makes america great. jacqui: what are you asking for for state and federal support to recover from this? >> right now im asking everyone to be patient. the search and rescue is ongoing at the site and we want to make sure those are not impeded in any way. theyll begin to do damage assessments and if it reaches a certain level, that is like ...

Confirmed deaths, one is in monette at the nursing home, and the other one was in leachville at a store that was struck in a deadly fashion. im not aware of the third, but the reports are continuing to come in. >> okay. were going to double-check and triple-check on that. you mentioned the federal resources. what resources in particular do you think are most needed there in arkansas? >> well, at this point its recovery time. weve got our citizens more safe, so were responding. eventually we will...
