Us to deal with. And i love the way you two talked about whats happening and whats going to happen. Well, i mean, shes setting the tone for the administration. We have actually heard a lot from the new president in the past eight days. He has spoken publicly a lot. But we are hearing even more from jen psaki in the briefing room, and shes setting this tone of normalcy, accountability, Expository Work that tells us what the administration thinks the problem is, what they are doing to work on it, who is in charge of that work. And that person will be answering questions about it, as will jen psaki on behalf of the entire administration. Its just basic accountability, which is basic small deed democracy, which is just something we were used to before. We lost it for four years, and now it just feels so radical to get back to it. I hope it never i hope we never take it for granted again. I think we have, for this year, a series of rachel and jen conversations coming up at 9 00 p. M. Intermintntly, from time to time i hope so. That we will all be looking forward to. I hope very much. Thank you for saying that, lawrence. Well, nadia was thrown in prison by Vladimir Putin because she sang a song in a cathedral in moscow. She had a little baby at the time. She got out of prison because of pressure put on Vladimir Putin by the United States and other countries around the world. She will join us at the end of this hour to talk about what joe bidens new pressure on Vladimir Putin means to the current enormous wave of protests in the russia. And in our continued concentration on the year of the senate, we will turn to the senates unique and very important function of confirming federal judges. Mitch mcconnell turned the senate into a high speed confirmation factory for federal judges during the trump years. And now its joe biden and Chuck Schumers time to catch up. Dahlia lithwick will join us to discuss what should be the Democratic Senates nonstop concentration on federal judges and what to expect from the president ial Commission Joe biden is appointing to study the possible expansion of the United StatesSupreme Court. A federal judge appointed by president obama refused to let this guy out of jail this week. Judge Barrel Howell said he would have to remain in jail because, quote, what happened on that day in the u. S. Capitol was criminal activity that is destined to go down in the History Books in our country. The fbi and federal prosecutors and federal courts are closing in On Hundreds Of Invaders of the capitol. But Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today, the real problem now is The Enemy Within the House Of Representatives. This enemy of the house, this enemy of the constitution is a member of the House Of Representatives, and she believes all of the worst things that the invaders of the capitol believe, all of the stupidest things, the racist things, the antisemitic things. Marjorie Taylor GreenesPublic Record prior to becoming a member of the House Of Representatives was so poisonous that even House Republican leaders Kevin Mccarthy and Stephen Scalise actively opposed her candidacy in a republican primary. She publicly supported assassinated nancy pelosi, and now she is fully embraced by the republicans in the house and the senate. When a poison like that enters your political system and you say and do nothing about it, then you are more than complicit. That means you actually want that poison in your politics because you believe it will help you. Congressman jason crow will join us later in this hour to discuss what it means to be going to work every day with a member of the House Of Representatives who has advocated for the assassination of the house speaker. It is into that poisoned system on the republican side of congress that joe biden will be sending the legislation he needs to pass to do what he promised america he will do. But before Biden Legislation begins to move in the congress, the president is already doing job one by executive order, which is undo the damage that trump has done. Its been a busy week, and ive signed Executive Orders tackling covid19, the economic and climate crises as well as advancing racial equity. But today im about to sign two Executive Orders, basically, the best way to describe them, to undo the damage trump has done. Theres nothing new that were doing here other than restoring the Affordable Care act and restoring the medicaid to the way it was before trump became president , which by fiat he made more inaccessible, more expensive and more difficult for people to qualify for either of those two items, the Affordable Care act or medicaid. And the second order im signing relates to protecting Womens Health at home and abroad. And it reinstates the changes that were made to title x and other things, making it harder for women to have access to Affordable Health care as it relates to their reproductive rights. Nbc news reports that President Biden is already in direct communication with some republican senators. Jen psaki confirmed that to rachel in the last hour. Those senators include rob portman and senator Susan Collins who President Biden worked with when he was a member of the senate. The relationship that i have with joe biden is closer than the relationship that i had with president obama or with President Trump. And im very happy to have a Good Relationship with him. The fact that he called me hes called me twice since the election i think is a very good sign. And we had an extremely friendly conversation as well as a substantive one. And he encouraged me to call him any time. House republican leader Kevin Mccarthy has promised to have a word with Marjorie Taylor greene about the racist, antisemitic, homicidal thoughts she has publicly expressed. But more important mri for kevin but more importantly for Kevin Mccarthy, he had to go to florida today to talk to the man who is facing trial for incitement of insurrection at the u. S. Capitol. Heres what Kevin Mccarthy said about Donald Trumps involvement in that insurrection. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump. Accept his share of responsibility, quell the Brewing Unrest and ensure President Elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. The Cowardly Kevin did not say a word of that to donald trump today. Kevin mccarthy released a statement, saying, today President Trump committed to helping elect republicans in the house and senate in 2022. That commitment is worth absolutely nothing, because its from donald trump. Kevin mccarthy still hasnt released a statement saying that Marjorie Taylor greene has promised not to encourage the assassination of the speaker of the house anymore. Or the assassination of anyone else in the House Of Representatives or anywhere else. Democratic congressman of Los Angeles Jimmy gomez has introduced a resolution to expel Marjorie Taylor greene from the House Of Representatives. Here is what Congressman Gomez told chris hayes tonight. Marjorie taylor greene, a conspiracy theorist believes in all sorts of crazy things, but the worst thing is, shes incited crowds in the past to storm the capitol, to go after nancy pelosi. They were even chanting hang mike pence. And now shes still a member of congress. I believe she is a Clear And Present Danger to the members of the House Of Representatives. Just simply for the fact she also is able to bring a gun to the House Office Buildings and shes walked around the Metal Detectors going to the floor. Theres a strong sense that something worse than january 6th could happen if she continues in office. Today, nancy pelosi said there is no difference between Marjorie Taylor greene and Kevin Mccarthy and the rest of the Republican Leadership in congress. What im concerned about is the Republican Leadership in the House Of Representatives who is willing to overlook, ignore those statements. Assigning her to the Education Committee when she has mocked the killing of little children at sandy hook elementary school, when she has mocked the killing of teenagers in high school at the Marjory Stoneman douglas high school. What could they be thinking . Or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing . Its absolutely appalling, and i think that the focus has to be on the Republican Leadership of this House Of Representatives for the disregard they have for the death of those children. But to have someone that would mock, call it a fake those fake events onto the education is just beyond its just beyond any understanding of any regard that the House Republicans would have for the House Of Representatives, for the congress of the United States and for the heartbreak of the families in sandy hook and at Marjory Stoneman douglas high school. Leading off our discussion tonight, former congressman david jolly. He left the Republican Party in 2018. Hes an msnbc political analyst. Former white house also with us, Jennifer Paul merry, former Communications Director for Hillary Clintons president ial campaign. She hosts podcast just something about her. From the recount. David jolly, let me begin with you tonight, because those are your former colleagues on the republican side of the aisle in the house that nancy pelosi is talking about tonight. What is the difference between Kevin Mccarthy and the new members who some of whom, one of whom, has advocated the assassination of nancy pelosi . Apparently nothing. Kevin mccarthy and Republican Leaders should publicly condemn Marjorie Taylor greene. They should eject her from the House Republican conference, refuse to seat her on any committees and isolate her from any support of the Party Apparatus or the friendly donors that typically support republican members. Lawrence, heres why Marjorie Taylor greene is dangerous. The fbi, for the first time in may of 2019, warned that it was not just the White Nationalists, not just the White Supremacists that were creating a domestic terrorism danger. It was the Conspiracy Theory groups that were fueling that con sketch when si. When christopher wray, t testif december, he said it was the Conspiracy Theory groups that are fueling the anger of the White Nationalist groups. Its the Conspiracy Theory groups that are creating the threat to our government. And Marjorie Taylor greene, one of the members of these Conspiracy Theory groups, has now been elevated to the United States congress. What fed the lies of the january 6th event was not just the president of the United States, but this dangerous conspiracy ridden Online Community of which Marjorie Taylor greene has shown herself to be a champion. Kevin mccarthy may not listen to me and my advice to eject Marjorie Taylor greene from the House Republican congress, but he should listen to the fbi director. She is a danger not just to the congress but to the country. Jennifer, i want to get your read of this first week of the Biden Administration and specifically jen psaki. I was thinking of you in the last hour when rachel was interviewing jen psaki. You have a similar experience working in the white house. You know how to judge thesein a. Shes going to be the face, in many ways, of the biden agenda on a daily basis with the news media. That biden agenda is going up to a congress that is equally divided almost in the senate, slight advantage to the democrats. Democrats have the advantage in the house. But with this very strong Republican Opposition that includes, you know, this wild edge, this completely wild and dangerous edge of the Republican Party that is present both in the house and the senate. When youre at that white house podium and youre trying to get the kind of attention that shes trying to get on the biden agenda, how do you do that when you know what is happening right outside basically outside of that room and capitol hill and the way its being received up there . So, i think theyve done a great job. Its only been a week and im sure they have a lot of tough days ahead of them. But you can tell Jennifer Psaki works this is her second white house. People like ron klain, its their third white house. People like ryan deese, National Economic adviser, its his third white house. Joe biden has decades and decades of experience. These are people who know what theyre doing. They know that jen has had a remarkable first week at the podium. But you also know theyre not going to be the show that the Trump White House was, right . So, they need to be constantly on air. They need to be they need to have lots of voices at the podium that are speaking on different issues to make to try to have as much reach as possible to show the breadth of the work theyre doing. I thought it was very smart that they are working with congress. When psaki started her Press Briefing yesterday, i noted she went out of the way to talk about the meetings theyre having on the hill but also with mayors to show their outreach isnt just retained to republicans on the hill or even just washington, d. C. , that theyre talking to lots of people to show that when push comes to shove and if there is not republican support for what theyre trying to do on covid, they got caught trying, right . Theyre showing that theyre putting all of the work in. And while theyre working with congress, theyre doing executive actions and show they are making progress for the American People day after day after day. Were on day seven now. Each day theres been something new. Its a Shock And Awe response and it comes from a response that knows what theyre doing. Theyll have tough days, but i think they are off to a great start. And it shows how much experience that they have on the policy and communications front. Jennifer, i have to say your show, showtimes circus, you get video we dont see anywhere else. In our episode this weekend, you have a shot of jen p
