His place in the history book of impeachment was already secure. But this solidifies his unique low point in american history. Now, trumps charge with incitement to insurrection stemming on the capitol hill a month ago. Tonight in a interview with cbs news, speaking out about trumps behavior, if he would vote for impeachment if he were still in the senate . I ran like hell to defeat him, i felt he was unfit to be president. I watched when everyone else watched when the crew invaded the congress. I will let the senate make the decision. Should former President Trump still receive Intelligence Briefings . I think not. Why not. Because of his eradict behavior. What is your worst fear if he continues to get the Intelligence Briefings . I would rather not speculate outloud, i just think that theres no need for him to have the intelligence briefing. What value is giving him an intelligence briefing. What impact does he have at all other than the fact that he may slip and say something. Tonight the latest reporting from the New York Times said trumps defense lawyers have quote, worked feverishly on friday to get up to speed on the case and prepare for the trial. It adds, that they had yet to learn anything about how the trial would operate. Including its schedule, how much time the defense would have to present its arguments and the rules for entering evidence. Im starting tuesday and we have no agreement for how any resolutions will be put forward, mr. Schoen said in a telephone interview, we have no rules, no agenda, no timeframe, theres no possible way this is consistent with due process. Politico says that trump allies are fearing the below back of the Impeachment Trial, some of his supporters fear that the trial could further damage his reputation. The departments have a very emotional and compeling case said former white house steve bannon, they are going to try to convict him in the eyes of the American People and smear him forever. Though that ship may have already sailed. As all of this unfolds, President Biden took his first flight on air force 1. The smaller version, for the short flight over to delaware. President is refusing to back down amid opposition from republicans who want to shrink his nearly 2 trillion relief bill. He said that his strongest message yet that he is willing to move had forward on his Economic Relief plan without republican support. Both the senate and house have signed off on an initial version of a budget plan that would begin turning bidens proposal in to real legislation. Speaker pelosi and House Democrats met with biden today, she said that she wants the house to pass its version of bidens plan within a couple of weeks. The economy remains anemic after a year of this pandemic. 49,000 jobs were added to our economy in january, we are still down 10 million, give or take. Something biden took note of today. Its very clear, our economy is still in trouble. Im going to act fast. I would like to be, i would like to be doing it with the support of republicans, if i have to choose between getting help right now, to americans, who are hurting so badly and getting bogged down in a lengthy negotiation or compromise on a bill that is, that is up to the crisis, thats an easy choice. What republicans have proposed is either to do nothing, or not enough. President said today, he will not budget on the idea of 1400 dollars stimulus checks, but tonight he is signaled his proposal to raise the minimum wage to 15, may not be part of the final bill. Im prepared as president of the United States on a separate negotiation on minimum wage but that had may not be in your American Rescue plan . No, i put it in, but i dont think its going to survive. Meanwhile, the administration is stepping up its effort to get had more americans vaccinated. Today, yankee stayedup, officially opened ask a mass vaccination site in new york. President has signed off on a series of initiatives to use the Defense Production Act while Invoking Fema and the u. S. Military in stepping up vaccinations. Pentagon sending over a thousand troops to various sites across the country. Today the cdc director said that the u. S. Is beginning to see a decrease in cases since the post christmas peak on january 8 even though numbers remain dangerously high. We now know the full toll of this pandemic, but you may recall what Journalist Bob Woodward wrote that there were early signs back in 2020, when Trumps National security adviser old the president way back on january 28th, over a year ago now, quote, this will be the biggest National Security threat you face in your presidency. This is going to be the rough estimate thing you face. Well, meanwhile, this is what the public heard. We are working very strongly with china on the coronavirus thats a new had thing that a lot of people are talking about. We only have five people, hopefully everythings going to be great. I want to stress that the risk to the American Public is low. You have an experienced, first class, the worlds best Public Health care system and professionals looking outfor you. My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard its citizens from the threat. We all saw how that went. On february 5th, 2020, chris murphy sent this out on social media expressing his concerns. Just left the Administration Briefing on coronavirus. Bottom line, they arent taking this seriously enough. Notably no request for any emergency funding, which is a big mistake. On february 7th, trump revealed to bob woodward, he knew how lethal virus was. It goes through air, bob, thats always tougher than the touch. The touch, you dont have to touch things. The air, you just breathe the air and its how its passed. Its more deadly than the flu, its deadly stuff. A familiar face to us, alexander jaffe, she is these day thes a political reporter for the associated press. Jason johnson, campaign veteran and journalist, contributor and a professor of politics at morgan state university. And dr. Kavita patel, Clinicaling Physician and policy aide during the obama administration, she is now a nonresident fellow at brookings and is among our medical contributors. Well, good evening and welcome to do you all, especial welcome to you, alexandra and as we all know, impeachment could not come in a busier time than for the brand new administration, and here comes the cliche riddled question to you, whether the Biden White House can walk and chew gum at the same time . Absolutely, its the question they have received for the past month, even before biden came in the white house. And they have repeatedly insisted they can. Theres every indication that they can. Biden has a packed week next week. He is heading to the nih on thursday. The Defense Department to meet with the secretary of defense on tuesday. And a Vaccination Seminar on wednesday. And while that is happening, his legislative agenda is moving forward on capitol hill as half of the day is spent on the Impeachment Trial. The house is working on markups of the covid19 bill. Senators are already talking about amendments to that bill. Despite the fact that the nation will be focused on impeachment and the news cycle will be dominated by impeachment, joe biden and democrats on capitol hill are working to move his agenda forward. Jason johnson, i have one for you. One of the president s impeachment lawyers was on fox news tonight and was asked about the prospect of all of these videos of rioters, insurrection, looting, the taking of our capitol, how they could possibly counter that in defending the president , i will play for you his answer. We will talk about it on the other side. Theres an awful lot of tape of cities burning, and courthouses being attacked and federal agencies being assaulted by rioters in the streets cheered on by democrats, throughout the country, and many of them in washington using really the most inflammatory rhetoric that can be used and theres no suggestion that they did anything to incite any of the actions that certainly there was not any. Anyhow. Here, when you have the president of the United States give a speech and says, you should peacefully make your thinking known to the people in congress, he is all of a sudden, the villain. So, you better be careful what you wish for. So, jason, what do you make of that legal Audio Visual Strategy and second question, do you have any indication the outcome, this time, will be different from last . With well, i will give you the second question first, no, the outcome will not be different. Republicans will not vote to impeach donald trump again. They will give a bunch of speeches and say they are disappointed and unhappy and held not vote to impeach him. I have to say on the scale of sort of My Cousin Vinnie to jackie childs, this is really bad lawyering. It makes sense that five people dropped out of the Legal Defense team. Heres the thing, the argument that you can somehow distract the public by saying protests last year about the murder of george floyd are somehow similar to a president of the United States who spent 21 2 months lying about an election and then ginning up a crowd to attack the capitol, a crowd that said consistently they want to hang mike pence and video of them saying we are doing it for donald trump. Lets call trump and tell him we are here. I dont remember anybody protesting and saying we are doing it for nains pelosi. I dont remember anybody protesting about Breonna Taylors death and saying we are doing it for chuck schumer. If the argument is that the democrats did the same thing that donald trump did, it will fall on deaf ears. Theres no chance that anybodys mind is going to be changed to defend donald trump based on the defense of his lawyers tonight. Dr. , take us in the territory of what is an uncontrolled pandemic officially. I read today that if this current pace of vaccination continues, it will take us seven years to get where we want to get. But if i asked you to give us a positive report on the effort to stop the spread, could you . Yeah, brian, actually, there are glimmers of hope. You are right. To give context, yesterday, we did ten times as many vaccinations in a 24 hour period as there were coronavirus cases. So, theres still too many new cases of coronavirus, but they are coming down as you mentioned and we are Getting Better and better news from manufacturers, Johnson Johnson filed for an emergency authorization yesterday, looks likely that they will receive fda authorization in the next week or so. And that will give us, brian, an incredible number of one dose shots that are highly effective and be an incredible kind of tailwind for the vaccination and then on the heels of that, we are looking at probably getting more promising data from novavax and other manufacturers behind that. You are correct on the current path, it would take us a long time. But we are about to see through new manufacturing as well as what the president is invoking from the Defense Production Act, some real ability to get to that appreciates Herd Immunity sooner than we think. Alexandra, i know in your job, you get to write the first draft of history. Especially at the associated press. I also know you know recent mitt recent political history. That is how i will load this question. What is the down said of President Biden getting this Relief Package with not a single republican vote. It has been done . Well, the risk is that he poisons the well for future legislative negotiations with the republicans. We have heard the republicans warn, if you push it through without bipartisan support, the rest of your agenda may be dead on arrival. He has laid out an ambitious agenda. He wants to get work done on Climate Change and health care, so, it makes things that much tougher if republicans say, you know what . You were not negotiating in good faith from the start. It also, raises questions about his brand. Joe biden has built a political brand over decades as a deal maker. And a person who genuinely believes in bipartisanship. That is how he came to be known as Vice President , that is how he was known in his time in the senate. And that is how he ran his campaign, even on inauguration day, he promised to unify the country and work across the aisle. And i think some voters that were won over by the pitch, may be wondering if this was the president that they hoped it would be and maybe wondering if he has broken the promises. So there could be political ramifications if he pushes through things unilaterally and that said, this package has widespread support and we show that americans overwhelmingly support it. The political optics for pushing through a plan that americans both support and clearly need are pretty positive for him and it may insulate him from political fallout. Jason, you will think you are the lucky recipient of the video daily double. I have another one for you, this is mtg from today, we will discuss on the other side. Im fine with being kicked off of my committees because it would be a waste of my time. Now i is a lot of free time on my hands that means i can talk to a lot of people all over the country and i can talk to more people and make connections and build a huge amount of support. Im going to be holding the Republican Party accountable and pushing them to the right. So, jason, for bringing home the bacon to her congressional district, when you take away Committee Assignments there goes the bacon. Not so much on running for the folks back home. But fundraising, yes. Building her own personal stardom . Yes, do you think Kevin Mccarthy views this Ask A Problem or a kind of a secret asset . You know, mccarthy probably thinks its a secret asset. But we have to look at the history of this, its a Self Agrandizing thing that does not manifest or improve votes. Marjorie taylorgreene is not going to flip anybodys seat in 2022. Marjorie taylorgreene is going to raise a lot of money for herself. But whether or not she becomes something beneficial to the Republican Party, i dont think its going to happen. Look, her antisemitic, and the fact that she was threatening corey bush and the fact that she has refused to apologize for anything, and she is mainstream is qanon which is a White Nationalist death cult. None of that is a benefit. So what the republicans should be doing is for all the times they have tried to its what will happen with them with Marjorie Taylorgreene. If they let her run around the country with free time, every person she touches she is going to offend. Not just with not wearing a mask, but with the qanon stink, which is not what republicans want to run against in 2022, but mccarthy cannot control his own caucus, so he will let it run wild. Doctor, lets take what jason said as a segue, the state of iowa is ready to go back to the old days. Lifting restrictions. Lifting public occupancy rules. Gathering limits. We are doing to sound like a scold if we say, isnt that the fastest way to fill up Emergency Rooms and perhaps even force another lockdown . Yeah, brian, i mean, this is now its so clearly been demonstrated countless times from the Republican Convention to rallies, to Grocery Stores in florida, where they actively are proud of not Wearing Masks that doing all of this is exactly the formula for overwhelming your health care system. For denying care. For all other medical conditions. Because you are tying up your Health System with covid cases and furthermore, infecting and killing people, so, it really is, i have gotten to the point that that type of action, really should be held accountable in a curtain of law. These are actions that are absolutely going to heed to deaths and hospitalizations and cases and who knows what kind of chronic symptoms. Brian, so, this is the kind of political posturing that is getting the American Public nowhere. But further down, i truly hope that people come to their senses, not just in iowa, but around the country, where they are using it as a badge of honor to show kind of this individualism, when the true individualism, brian, is to take this seriously and realize your actions can affect people exponentially, that is the definition of viral spread. We are much obliged for the big three starting off our friday broadcast. Greatly appreciated, thank you all. Coming up for us, why one of our next guests a lifelong conservative said it could be beneficial to keep this Marjorie Taylorgreene around and later, an extreme group of political activists taking aim at the government, not the ones from a month ago on the hill. What our past can teach us about defeating extremism in our midst. All of it as The 11th Hour is just getting under way. And the fiery. Dont let migraine keep you. From saying i am here. aim to be there more. With ai
