us together. for me, it's, you know, it's grandchildren. i watched my kids struggle just how hard it is to raise children, to balance work and home life and the kids education during pandemic. we need to keep that front and center, talk about the child tax credit and housing construction and access, all of that is -- all of that is pulled together. >> senator brown of ohio, thank you so much for your time tonight, certain. that is "all in." >> thank you, my friend. much appreciated. thanks to join us this hour. happy to have you here. lots of news going on. lots of stuff breaking in different directions over the course of this afternoon and into the evening. the fda gave its seal of approval to booster shots for not just people who had the pfizer vaccine, but for people who had the other two kinds of vaccines as well.

the fda made that really interesting recommendation. the booster shot doesn't have to be the same brand as the other vaccine you got in the first place. again, we had known that the fda was considering data that showed very promising results for mixing and matching different brands of vaccines. the recommendation tonight is, therefore, not a surprise. but it is interesting. the next step is for the cdc to do a look at the data and recommendations. they'll do that tomorrow. and then once the cdc is through the process, we'll get form alvis to the public and to health providers as soon as they decide. so that could be as soon as tomorrow. st it could be any time in the next few days. it means that booster shots could be rolling out in a much bigger way as soon as the end of this week. that's a big advance in terms of

our nation's approach to vaccination. the white house today also put out more guidance to the states about preparing, getting ready to start vaccinating kids ages 5 and up. right now as you know, the vaccines are only approved for kids age 12 and up. but the fda and the cdc processes to approve vaccines for younger kids, the processes are well underway. they will probably come to fruition within a few weeks. the white house is trying to get people ready to get states ready to hit the ground running on that as well. so eyes on that process. the tonight we're also watching a whole bunch of news breaking in the uncomfortable ven diagram overlamb between political life and going to prison. in the past five years two, count them, two sitting members of congress have been charged with federal criminal felony charges. congressman chris collins of new york, you see on your left and

congressman duncan hunter of california, both of them federal criminal charges. they were serving in congress within the past five years. both of them republicans. both of them big early donald trump supporters. both of them are charged with multiple federal felony corruption counts. both of them resigned from congress in it disgrace. both were convicted on felony charges. and both of them were sentenced to prison. that said, both of them were pardoned by president donald trump. now we have a third republican congressman charged whul he's a sitting member of congress charged with multiple federal felony corruption charges. this time it's jeff fortenberry from nebraska. if his case goes south, congressman fortenberry won't have the donald trump republicans get out of jail free

card. congressman fortenberry was araund in federal court. he was charged formally with three felony federal charges. he said he's going to fight the charges. just being formally charged with a crime is not enough to make you have to resign from your committees. it doesn't just have to be any charge. it has to be a felony charge. not just any felony charge, it has to be that you've been charged with a felony that could result in you serving more than two years in prison. again, not a very -- not a very high low bar, right? jest fortenberry is charged with three felonies that could put him in prison for five years. the even under the not so strict

rules that members of congress have to abide by, he has still fallen afoul and so he will not serve on committees anymore including the one on which he was the ranking republican member. there is no word if they're going to make him resign his seat. right now, he's off the committees. he is still continuing to serve in congress while he's under federal indictment. which is nice for him, i guess. we've got a bunch of news tonight out the great state of michigan where protesters have physically shut down, they brought a giant wrench and shut down a major high pressure petroleum pipeline. we have news from iowa tonight. a cabinet secretary from the biden administration showed up today to support john deere employees on the picket line. this is something we have not heard of in modern times. we're also expecting tomorrow

that the full house of representatives is going to vote to refer steve bannon for prosecution by the u.s. justice department. mr. bannon will not obey a spp from congress from the investigation into the january 6th attack. congress tomorrow is about to vote basically to as the justice department to make him obey the subpoena. to criminally prosecute him and try to jail him if he continues to defy the subpoena. we're expecting that vote tomorrow. it was a party line vote in the rules committee. all republicans voted against referring him for prosecution. all democrats voted for it. because democrats are a majority in the house, we expect that even if it is just a long party lines that criminal referral will go out tomorrow and then in the hands of the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., which is a very rare circumstance. honestly, none of this is normal. none of this is a regular news

day, but it is all cooking tonight. today in the united states senate, republican senators blocked new voting rights bill from even getting a hearing, from even getting a debate. all 50 democratic senators voted for the voting rights legislation. all 50 republican senators voted against it. but even if vice president harris had come in and given democrats 51 votes for it instead of 50, it still would not have passed. because republicans filibustered this bill which means it needs 60 votes to pass, not 50. that means it would have needed 10 republican senators to join with all 50 democrats in order to get this thing passed. i -- i know what you're thinking. i can read your mind through your television. right? you're thinking, of course the bill didn't get ten republican votes. of course republicans filibustered the voting rights bill. they filibuster everything. i mean, sure, if you still retain the ability to be shocked by anything, it is shocking that not a single republican would vote to even hear a bill that does things like make voting --

voter registration easier and make election day a holiday and protect nonpartisan election administrators from partisan pressure. it would invest in secure voting systems, require a paper trail for voting machines. it would -- this is a bill that even contains republican priorities like requiring voter id. but still, not a single republican senator voted for this democracy 101 kind of stuff. which we shouldn't lose the ability to be shocked by even if it is no longer surprising. there is one person who must be surprised you about today's outcome. one person who may be flabbergast bid today's talley. that person is joe manchin. i don't know if there is a fainting couch anywhere here his office in the senate.

they were sure this wouldn't happen. they were pushing a voting rights bill called the for the people act. the bill was in fact such a high priority for democrats that democrat uk leaders gave it the symbolic label of bill number one. in the house and in the senate. house bill one. senate bill one. the for the people act. voting rights act. it was not the for the people act. the for the people act died this summer at the hands of joe manchin. that voting rights bill for anyone that didn't have any republican support. since senator manchin is against changing the filibuster rules in any way, even for protecting the democracy, his stance on this meant that a voting rights bill would have to get ten republican votes which he insisted was

possible. senator manchin said he had a plan. the problem, according to senator manchin, is not that republicans were obstructing this for the sake of obstructionism, no the that they were wholesale against any protections for voting rights, he said it was simply that this for the people act was the wrong bill. the democrats who had written it had written it wrong. it was too broad, too partisan. it was written in such a way that it wasn't appealing to republicans but that was fixable. all the other democrats that approached this the wrong way, they written the bill wrong. if you wrote the bill right, republicans would support it. he insisted to colleagues and public and press that the other democrats had just done this the wrong way. he knew that republican supported vote rights and that, therefore, there was a voting rights bill that could get republican support if just written correctly. to his correct, sincerely to the

legitimate credit, senator manchin put his money where his mouth was. i know the right way to do. this i'll write a new bill. he said he would prove his theory with the case. he said, no, i'll write a new bill. and the bill he came up with was not everything that democrats wanted. he said it could get republicans onboard. two vote for i then democrats put aside the objections. senator manchin set out to find ten republican senators that would vote for it. he told reporters, i've been working across the aisle with all the republicans. trying to get people to understand the bed product of

our democracy and accessible, fair, secured voting. we're negotiating in good faith. we'll see what happens. today in the senate, it was his bill. it was joe manch yun's voting rights bill which he wrote specifically because he said he knew republicans would go for it. that is the bill up for a vote. this is the bill he unsifted democrats get behind even though they didn't like a lot what was in it. a voting rights bill had to be bipartisan and should be bipartisan and this was the bill that could get republican votes. not a single republican vote for this bill today. not one. there was reporting to day, a provocative reporting that senator joe manchin is considering leaving the democratic party. if he left the democratic party, and either became a republican or started caucusing with the republicans, that would put the sna the in republican -- under republican control. it would be seismic. after that report in mother

jones today, senator called the story -- bull pucky. reporter david corn at mother jones says he stands by his story. david corn specifically this was not a rumor. he said that senator manchin's office knew that. eye lot of stuff in the bill is not what they would call a democratic priority. as i said, i can only assume that senator manchin is shocked by this outcome. after all that negotiation across the aisle, no republicans would vote for even the bull he specifically crafted. saying that he was writing it in order to get their support. and so a majority vote in the senate isn't enough. with the filibuster on this

bill, that means you need ten republicans to vote with democrats. there is no republicans voting with democrats on even that bill. and so the really is only one path left. to get dmind of voting rights protections passed. that is to change the filibuster rule so that it doesn't require 60 votes to pass something that is about voting rights to democrats can pass it with a majority of the senate without needing ten republican votes and 60 votes altogether. democrats have tried everything else. nancy pelosi the speaker on down have been saying for months that a voting rights bill is must pass legislation. senator schumer said over and over again, failure is not an option. because if democrats can't protect people's right to vote and people's access to the ballot box and they can't

prevent, you know, right-wing trump supporters who don't believe in elections being decided by the will of the people, they can't find ways to protect the legislation so that those folks seize control of the infrastructure in multiple states. that is kind of the whole ball game, right? you can't do anything else in the democracy if you can't protect the democracy. democrats are fairly united on this the stakes of this legislation. he caucuses with the democrats and he is in may elected as an independent. he was the governor of maine when governor of maine. he was also an independent governor of maun main. he votes with the democrats but not always. he is one of the senators known for seeking bipartisan even when

it seems hopeless to everyone else. his political brand, the way he's built. he's also one of the senators who has become attached to the filibuster rule. i don't say that because i can read his mind. say that i because last year he said he was 100% opposed to getting rid of the filibuster rule. he said it is an essential tool for preserving the rights of the minority party in the senate. this summer as republican filibusters block democratic priorities, he described himself still as very reluctant to end the filibuster. look at where he is now. as today's vote on joe manchin's legislation approached, even senator king said he was coming to a new understanding on this issue.

he came to the conclusion that full bit offer needs to be changed. he told many i had colleague yesterday that democracy itself is more important than any senate rule. and going further than that, senator king took to the senate floor and delivered a lengthy and empassioned interesting thought provoking speech in support to have day's voting rights bill. and it is worth hearing because of his moderation and his bipartisan instirvegts and independence. but it is also worth hearing the speech here. somebody not given to high penitentiarybly to say the least, it is important to hear someone like him lay out the historical moment as he sees it. he calls it a hinge of history that will determine whether the american democratic experiment will survive. he sees them coming over the

horizon. arriving since the next presidential election. something to be honest, republicans really are laying the groundwork for as we speak. the whied that voters in a swing state somewhere, voters in that state might vote for the democratic presidential candidate in the next presidential election. that state has a republican legislature and that state decided to give itself the power to overrule the vote in their state. what if republican lawmakers under those circumstances decided they were going to pick their own slate of presidential electors? yeah, looks like the state's voters picked the democrats. but the legislature is republican and they're going to send electors for the republican presidential candidate to the lekt ral college.

we decide who wins elections. but this is what donald trump was trying to arrange after the last election. this is what president trump's allies were trying to arrange after the last election. they didn't succeed that time. senator king warned about that. he wants the colleagues to understand that that kind of democratic backsliding, that kind of subversion of an election is not impossible or unthinkable in it america. it looks like it's on its way. >> it's important to remember that most failures of democracy as we look at history started with legitimate elections. but once in office, the leader manipulated the electoral process to consolidate the hold on power.

just as was attempted last winder. the control and reach of the state is terrifying. truly terrifying. and venz is waila and hungry are all examples of the slide from democracy into authoritarianism that happened just in our living memory. just in our lifetimes. this is not a theoretical threat. we've seen it already happen in our lifetime. or what if in 2024 a partisan

legislature in a swing state and they are giving themselves this power right now a partisan lecture in a swing state votes to override the election results in their state and send their own preferred set of electors to washington? only raw power prevails. the peaceful transfer becomes a distant memory. >> get yourself a senator that can speak like that to an issue like that on the floor of the united states senate. senator king independent of maine urging colleagues to save the american experiment by tassing the freedom to vote act. it did not pass today. it did not get a single

republican vote today. they're not finished. president biden reached out to senate democrats ahead of the vote to express support. he sort of trying to use presidential juice on. this the white house still calling it a must pass priority. it can be done. they just to too agree to another change in filibuster rules. it would require another change in the full bit offer rules so voting rights bill can pass with a simple majority. >> i really appreciate you making time. i know it's been a long day. >> thank you. it's great to be with you. i think it's worse than you mentioned today. today was a procedural vote to

begin debate on the voting rights bill. they didn't even want to talk about the bill. that makes a difference. it was -- i guess you shouldn't say shocking. it wasn't really surprising. i didn't expect to get those republican votes. but to have them simply say we just don't want to have that in the voting rights, what a turn around. i think it was 2006, voting rights act was reinvigorated or revoted by something like 96-0. what happens to the fill burster depends on how republicans play their hand. meaning if they allow common sense voting rights bills to pass if they work in good faith to find compromise.

there is no reason to get rid of the filibuster or to carve it out on specific issues. seven months down the road, how do you feel republicans have played their hand? we have had some bipartisan bills. but it wasn't due to the leadership. it was a group of sort of a group from both sides that negotiated the major infrastructure bill, for example, that got 69 votes. i mean that was major accomplishment. but today is an indication -- and what really bothers me, rachael, is quite often you'll have the votes, you know be procedural votes slowing things down and maybe have negotiations. the democrats blocked the consideration of the cares act but then there was two or three weeks of negotiations. we ended up with a really good bill. it passed unanimously. what is happening now is there seems to be no forthcoming discussion from the republicans. no interest in any part of the bill that we voted on today. as you point out, it was a

compromise bill. worked out by joe manchin. former secretary of state. guy who really believes in voting rights. they're not coming back with any further discussion. stha works if both of the parties are willing to meet at the table. if they just use it as pure unadulterated obstruction which is what happened today, then, you know, that's when as you pointed out, i say, you know, democracy has to trump a rule. it's like when i worked there 40e years ago. the filibuster was rarely used. now we have votes deputies secretaries of defense. i mean everything requires

either a vote for nominees for 60 votes for anything substantive. that's not what the framers intended. they didn't intend a soup mare jort in the senate. let me give you math that i think you'll find surprising. if you add all the population together, you get 24% of the american people. so the situation we're in now is that 24% of the american people have effective veto over anything that 76% of the american people think is important public policy. i don't think that squares with democratic theory. >> when you talk to your colleagues who have been reluctant to allow for any other -- any other new change to the filibuster rule for even on

issues like this. are they open to persuasion on this issue? i want to talk to you about your credibility on this issue. you are not someone willing to want to change the frulz day one. you were reluctant on this issue. i wonder if that helps you persuade your other colleagues who are sort of coming from the same position on you who maub haven't come as far as you have. >> the reason for my reluctance is that what is, you know, this is double-edged sword. what we view as obnoxious obstruction two, four, six years from now when the few hsu is on the other foot, we might view as a precious shield to protect important environmental laws or, you name it.

once it goes, it goes. i you this joe and others may be open to change the rule and to change it in such a way that it forces debate. it allows debate. of that's the whole idea. it is supposed to be unlimited debate, not a tool of simple obstruction. so i think we're going to be searching jeff murphy of oregon has done a huge amount of work in studying the details how to do it. norm, i think you know norm, he has a suggestion that says instead of the proponents having to get 60, the opponents have to muster 40e or 41. they have to have their people on the floor. you don't have to show up if you're against the bill. the proponents have to get to 60. so there a lot of interesting opportunities. the talking filibuster. make people go to the floor and hold the floor.

that never happens. a filibuster now is two damn easy, you pick up the phone and call the majority leader and say i fill burster this bill. that's it. 60 votes. you don't have to hold the floor. you don't have to do anything. there is space to allow protection to the minority but wouldn't allow the minority to effectively have a veto over important legislation majrle in this area. if this was a policy on other issue or another, i'm not sure where i would be. that's what is at risk, rachael will. i have never been so worried about the future of my country.

if we do a carveout, we'll do it in two years for the right to life or something that we consider very important. by the way, it's possible mitch mcconnell hopes they get rid of the filibuster and then katie bar the door when he is in the majority. this is not an easy call. i want you to realize that there is -- there are a lot of really important issues that we're going to have to face in making this decision. we can't let the wave of voter suppression happen, you know, we're -- this is fragile. and we're in a really dangerous moment. this is the most dangerous moment i think since 1860 in terms of the future of the

country. >> senator king, thank you so much for your time tonight. as i said, i know it's been a long day. a long couple days already. of thank you for here with us tonight. >> thank you, rachael grachlt et to be with you. >> all right. got much more ahead to it into. stay with us. ight got much more ahead to it into stay with us tonight, i'll be eating a buffalo chicken panini with extra hot sauce. tonight, i'll be eating salmon sushi with a japanese jiggly cheesecake.

this is just not normal. apparently we have to get used to it. the former president of the united states is under criminal investigation in georgia. they're looking at whether the repeated badgering of state officials there after the election violated state laws that prohibit intimidating elections officials in the administration of they're duties. former president trump's business was also recently indicted in new york state.

former president trump was deposed in ten civil cases pending against him right now. related to allegations of violence, alleged sexual assault alleged rape, the mass attack by his supporters on january 6th. this is not normal. this is not a normal post presidency. president carter was building houses for habitat for humanity. so far with this most recent former president though it's lawyer bills, subpoenas and fbi raids and that's it. now today though we got a new one and it is about this. >> he owns a very large golf course here in west chester. and he went there saying the

property value is $1.4 million. and we all pay our fair share of property taxes. we want the trump national golf club to pay their fair share as well. it affects our roads, schools, police departments. this is from 2017. west chester county, new york. west chester county is north of new york city. the people that live there held a rare protest over the fact that trump wanted a huge discount on the tax bill for his golf course in their town. way pay our taxes, pay yours, mr. trump. our taxes are higher because you don't pay. why does donald duck his taxes, get, donald duck? also this is a good one. i'm not a sign gal but geez.

what that was all about in 2017 was in fact a really local issue. with big consequences for that town. trump has a big golf horse course in that town. everybody that owns property in that tax has to pay property tax. that funds services and schools. the way the town decides how much you have to pay as a property owner is sending out an assessor to assess the value of your property. and the higher the value of your property, according to the assessment, the more property tax you have to pay. he thought the golf course should abscessed way lower. he didn't just do that in 2017. as "the new york times" reported today, trump appealed to the assessed value of that golf course. and he was trying to reduce the tax bill by a ton.

there are 90% tax cut at west chester golf club. 90% tax cut. here's what that actually looks like. these documents are from 2016. the town comes up in 2016. they look at the golf course in west chester county. the real value of that property, the real value of that golf course is 1.4 million dollars. that's what it's worth. well, here's at least part of the problem. and again, the numbers here, sort of easy to keep in your head. the town is telling him to pay tax onz a golf course they say is worth $15 million.

he said i won't. it's only worth $1.4 million. that same year in 2016 he files the financial disclosure statement as a presidential candidate. may 2016. united states office of government ethics, executive branch personnel public financial disclosure report. the town says the golf course is worth $15 million. he said, no, i'm not paying tax onz $15 million property. it's only worth $1.4 million. look what he put in the financial disclosure that same year. his official financial disclosure line item 93, trump national golf club west chester county, value? over $50 million. so to one part of the government he is telling them this golf course is worth over $50 million. but for the tax authorities he is saying it's $1.4 million. how can something simultaneously be worth over $50 million according to trump and only $1.4 million also according to trump? how can that be true at the same

time? and it's not hike that was a nuke. the most recent financial disclosure from right before joe biden was inaugurated, his golf club dm west chester county is worth $50 million. in west chester county, it is worth a few nickels. nothing worth paying taxes on anyway. it's a dump. which is fine. and so here is "the new york times" breaking the story. . former president trump's family buzz under under indictment in manhattan is facing a criminal investigation by another prosecutor's office that has begun to examine financial dealings on a golf course the company owns. the district attorney's office and suburban west chester county new york has subpoenaed records from the trump golf course and from the town in which the course is located. the full scope of the investigation cannot be

determined but they appear to be focused on whether trump's company misled officials about the property's value to reduce the taxes. and again, it is not normal. right? for this many criminal investigations to be stuck to the shoe of the immediate former president of the united states. this is not normal. and welcome to the trump era. t l and welcome to the trump era

jim mcgovern. he was in charge of the paroledings in the house in the speaker's absence. he was last person evacuated off the house floor that day. jim mcgovern wars was in the room while tharp barricading the doors and they tried to smash their way unside. congressman mcgovern today talked about what he saw in the last moments in the house chamber. >> i was the last person offer the floor on january 6th. and i came face-to-face were these people in the speaker's gallery. and i will tell you -- you want me to describe what evil looks like? it's looking in those faces, those people who while three police officers were in front of the door trying to protect all of us, they were smashing the windows open. the fact that somehow we were asking questions about trying to figure out why did this happen? who was responsible? somehow that is a bad thing? give me a break. give me a break. congressman jim mcgovern today.

in his capacity as the chairman of the rules committee, the rules committee at a hearing today to work out the details for tomorrow's vote in the full house of representatives on whether or not steve bannon will be referred to the justice department for contempt of congress. he is refusing to deal with the investigation into what happened on january 6th. the committee investigating voted unanimously to recommend that he should face criminal contempt charges. tomorrow afternoon there will be a full vote in the full house and then the justice department if -- will have to decide whether or not they are in fact going to prosecute steefr bannon. there were witnesses, one of the panels of witnesses compromised of two of president trump's most loyal defenders in congress. congress matt gaetz and jim jordan. p they were there to speak in defense of president trump but instead they spent most of the time trying to just throw sand in the gears and derail the entire meeting.

talking about border crossings and afghanistan and president biden's son. the other panel of witnesses was a more sober one. the chairman of the january 6th investigation, bennie thompson, the vice chair of that investigation, republican congresswoman liz cheney. luz cheney voted with her colleagues on the committee last night in favor of holding bannon in contempt and she had a strong message today for fellow republican members of congress ahead of tomorrow's vote. >> let me address my republican colleagues specifically. i heard from a number of my colleagues in the last several dawes who say they "just don't want this target on their back." "they're just trying to keep their heads down. they don't want to anger kevin mccarthy, the minority leader." i ask each one of you to step back from the brink. i urge you to do what you no he is right, to think of the long arc of history. in many nations democracy has

failed because those with authority would not act to protect it because they sat in silence. history will will judge those of us in positions of public trust. will you be able to say you did everything possible everything possible to ensure americans got the truth about those events? or did you look away? did you make partisan excuses and accept the unacceptable? >> republican liz cheney speaking to her republican colleagues tonight. it will be interesting to see if any republicans other than she and adam kinzinger who's also on the january 6th investigation committee, it will be interesting to see if any other republicans follow her call there when that house vote is called tomorrow on whether or not bannon should be prosecuted for refusing to go along with this investigation. today the number two republican in the house steve scalise sent this to every single republican in the house telling them they must vote no on that bannon vote tomorrow.

this is not the only way republicans appear to be organizing to try to slow wrauk and block the various inquiries into january 6th. two republican senators, wisconsin senator ron johnson and utah senator mike lee are currently blocking the confirmation of president biden's nominee to be the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c. it's the u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c., who will be responsible for overseeing hundreds of prosecutions of people who participated in the january 6th attack. that's also the office that would head up the prosecution of steve bannon for criminal contempt of congress if the justice department tries to do that. republican says they're holding up president biden's nominee to be that u.s. attorney because the justice department hasn't responded to a letter of theirs that equates the january 6th attack to the mostly peaceful protests that followed the murder of george floyd last summer. so there can't be a u.s. attorney in washington? in practice it's not like the u.s. attorney's office in washington is empty right now, while papers keep stacking up on

the desk there's something in that job in an acting capacity who will continue to perform the duties and responsibilities of that office until the president's pick is confirmed. blocking this one nominee, therefore, isn't an effective strategy for blocking the prosecution of bannon for blocking all the prosecutions of the january 6th rioters. but sure, you know, knock yourself out, you guys. history is watching. you'll be in it. more ahead tonight, stay with us. plop plop fizz fizz. alka seltzer plus cold relief. dissolves quickly. instantly ready to start working. so you can bounce back fast with alka-seltzer plus. ♪ (vo) subaru presents... the underdogs. they may have lost an eye, or their hearing, or their youthful good looks. but there's a lot of things these remarkable dogs haven't lost... like their ability to lick, wag, and love with the best of them.

protector broke into what he described as a valve station for line five. he called the pipeline company to tell them he was going to start manually shutting the pipeline down in five minutes. then he climbed under the fence and did so. for the next 30 minutes or so he used a pipe wrench to turn this valve over and over again until he couldn't turn it anymore shutting down the line. enbridge told us after this incident the company shut down the pipeline down for several hours out of an abundance of caution. they say it's now back up and running. but watch this space. h this spae fire! nas... spare a pound? what? you know, bones, shillings, lolly? lolly? i don't have any money. you don't look broke... regina approaches the all-electric cadillac lyriq. it's a sunny day. nah, a stormy day. classical music plays. um uh, brass band, new orleans. ♪
