>> hour of his. screamer dogs recovering from the bite marks, the gator is now at a wildlife sanctuary. so, happy ending for everyone. that wraps up this hour, i'm vicky nguyen in, for yasmin do this again she'll be back 2 pm eastern, simone starts right now. eastern, simone starts right now. greetings. you're watching symone. we have a jam-packed show today y'all, let's get to it. first breaking news, senators announcing a major step forward on gun legislation. the framework deal that they may not go far enough to address -- it's a start. we're gonna break down what's in the deal, what isn't, and what is next. also a busy week ahead for january six committee, digging into the capitol insurrection and assault on our democracy, starting with the former presidents mass effort to spread false and fraudulent information about the 2020

election. and i'm talking lie with stacey abrams, democratic candidate for governor in georgia, about her campaign, voting rights, january six and more. time symone sanders, and i have something to say. missed out of the south breaking news the announcement of bipartisan framework agreement for gun safety legislation in the united states senate. white house correspondent yamiche alcindor is live in -- one of the key god sleepy legislation? >> well, symone, there was big news this sunday with a framework being announced by a bipartisan group of senators who have been negotiating in the wake of these recent high-profile mass shootings. all walk you through what this

framework is, and should tell people that this isn't a bill yet, the bill hasn't been written, there's a number of things here that i want to -- support for state crisis intervention orders, incentives for to deny guns to people that are risk of themselves or other, investment and family and mental health services. protection for victims of domestic land is, funding for school based mental health and safety resources. a clarification of definition of federally licensed firearms dealer, telehealth advancements, enhanced background checks for americans younger than 21 years old, and penalties for straw producing. simone, you know how washington works, this is -- a lot of senators that came together for this compromise, i want to walk you through what's not in the bill, and what's not in the bill is a ban on semiautomatic weapons, a ban on high capacity magazines, there's no minimum age requirement being raised for ar-15 style rifles. and no universal background

checks. we need to underline that, as we're hearing republicans and democrats praise this framework, this compromise. there is also a lot of people looking at the saying quote, could we have done more yamiche, what's the white house saying about this announcement? have we heard from president biden? >> we have heard from president biden. he's out praising this framework, he's saying that this should be as quickly as possible to get to his desk. i want to redo the statement the president put out just a few hours ago. he says quote, i want to thank chris murphy in the members of his bipartisan group, especially senators cornyn, cinnamon, and -- your tireless work to produce this proposal. obviously it's not doing everything that's needed, it reflects the important steps in the right direction and will be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass congress and decades. he goes on to say, with bipartisan support, there is no excuses for a delay, no reason why this should not quickly move through the senate and the house. each day that passes, more kids

are kellan's country, the sooner comes to my dad, the sooner i can sign it, and the sooner we can use these measures to save lives. simone, the president saying get this to me now, i should also note there's a number of gun right activists who are pushing for this legislation. they're all saying that yes, this isn't everything that people want, but it's a step in the right direction. so, a lot of trepidation here in terms of whether or not this will become a law. you hear praises, but you haven't heard in other times in our history when you think about the high-profile, mass shootings we've had. i want to add another thing, i'm talking to sources that say that while this is good, republicans could get cold feet, republican mitch mcconnell, they say likely supported this framework, he definitely supports the negotiations, but we have to obvious caveat that, the republicans are facing high political states here. they could at any point, pull out of. this >> they could. we're gonna talk to a senator, part of those negotiations right now. i'm trying to get some answers

yamiche, nbc's yamiche alcindor, thank you so much. i want to bring up senator chris combs of delaware, he was part of this monumental agreement, senator thank you so much for joining us. this is not -- some people say gold bolder go home. but in my opinion most people need to see that this is an incremental move in the right direction, it's in fact monumental. do you agree? >> i do, symone, it's been a lot artwork since the horrific shootings in buffalo, in uvalde. they mobilize millions of americans to reach out to the senators, democrats and republicans and say, enough is enough. the march for our lives happened all over the country yesterday, it added some extra energy to those of us who were negotiating the steal. i'm so grateful to senator chris murphy, richard blumenthal of connecticut,

whoever -- sandy hook oven working tirelessly to try to expand background checks, enact stronger legislation, federally about gun safety. senator john cornyn of texas, and dana senator tom calais of north carolina, to republicans who were critical to this work. i think we should embrace this farm work, it's not everything i would've wanted, it's not everything democrats caucus would've wanted. but it's a significant step forward, and symone, after 20 years we got nothing down on this issue in the senate, this is an important day, it didn't coren jing significant. staff >> it's a very significant step. sir, as yamiche just talked about, senator mcconnell released a statement, it was tap ed, she mentioned the notion that the ten senators that signed on are important, but will all ten sticks together to get this over the finish line, i will note the ten senators who did sign on,

they stood up, or putting them up on the screen. they said it's time for a change. senator cornyn is on that list, is this going to, how quickly are gonna see this written into law? >> i'm hopeful, we'll have legislation taxed within a week. and that will be able to get into the floor before the 4th of july recess for the senate. but that's gonna be challenging, it's still possible for people of this to fall away, for this deal to come apart altogether, as you know there is fears advocates for gun rights, who don't want to see as legislate at all. folks who oppose stronger gun safety laws in this country. and one of the things that's in this package, that i'm excited about, that helps us move forward is billions of daughters for community mental how. long under funded badly needed investments that will help with school safety, school counselors that will help with

community mental health resources. and that's based off a bill that senator -- bipartisan pair were already trying to move, proposal that was in president biden's budget. but they didn't necessarily have a clear path forward. >> some of these things together. accelerate. >> these things are putting together. >> all right, i need to ask you about the january six hearings. do you believe the special committee is playing a strong case so far but the former presidents role in the insurrection? and if you have thoughts, i'm sure you do, i know you very well what are you expecting from this week's hearings? >> look, symone, i was in the chamber on january six. i was one of the members of congress escorted out by capitol police just steps ahead of a howling mob. and i obviously, sat through the impeachment trial of president trump, voted to convict him for his actions around january six. and i wasn't sure i was gonna

hear, or see anything new, i did. i thought that chairman bennie thompson, congresswoman cheney of wyoming, deliver a clear, forceful, compelling testimony in the evidence that they put forward, the testimony of capitol police officer that spoke to the committee. i thought it was riveting, i hope that folks that didn't have the time to watch it, do. and i'm expecting more from this committee, to lay out a clear and forceful case, that president trump and those right around him organized, plotted, with let the match that led to that riot, stormed the capitol on january six. i thought it was compelling. >> all, right senator chris from delaware, thank you so much for joining us on a busy day. i appreciate you. sir >> coming up, georgia's democratic candidate for governor stacey abrams joining me live right here at the table, we're ready to talk about the campaign, and our work on the front lines of the fight for voting rights. and round two of the january

six hearing starts tomorrow, we're gonna break down what's coming, and what is important. but first, my colleague j.j. stone is here with us, and she's got today's other top news stories. >> hear stories we are watching at this hour. long forsman arresting a 41 members of white nationalist groups known as the patriot -- in a private event on saturday. a concerned citizen called the police when they saw dozens of citizens covered in mosques and shield packed in a u-haul truck. details appeared to show plans to riot. the men are set to be arraigned tomorrow on a charge of conspiracy to riot. ukrainian officials say russian forces can completely in case a city within days. an important victory for russian let -- president latimer putin. royals are honoring the 49 victims of the club shooting in

of georgians who stand up and say it's our state, our time. we are going to wind together.

>> georgia on my mind, y'all. that voice you just heard was stacey abrams. four years after her 2018 campaign. it catapulted her to national stardom. stacey abrams is making another go at the governor's mansion. things have changed since the impeachment. incumbent brian kemp, well, after georgia went blue and -- kemp and the republicans said legislator established an infamous bill to make it harder for some communities to vote. what's more, republicans just turned out in droves to vote for camp in the recent republican primary. it is all of this mean for stacey abrams and her campaign? i'm so glad you asked. former minority leader for the georgia house of representatives and current democratic running for governor, stacey abrams. welcome, stacey abrams. let's get into it. this is round two of abrams v. camp. what's your strategy?

>> we're going to do it works. reach out to every georgian across the state. build a multi ethnic coalition. we're going to respond to the pain that people are feeling. the pandemic may be over in the minds of some, but it's real to thousands and millions of georgians. we won't only talk about the pain they feel and offer them solutions, we are going to talk about the promise of georgia. you can't move forward if you don't acknowledge the challenges. we are going to address those challenges head on. we're going to build one georgia. a georgia that reflects the needs of the state, but also the opportunity to thrive for every single person in our state. >> republican turnout surged in the primaries and georgia. brian kemp won his race by more than 50 points. i think there were a lot of factors that contributed to that, but do you think that republican voters are more motivated, if you will, and do you think some republicans will vote for you? >> i think voters are very very

excited about what is to come, but in different ways. right now, we don't have an enthusiasm gap, we have a trust gap. those who faced the hardest hit of the pandemic, every show and justice of the economic changes. they just don't know who to trust and who believe in. my responsibility is to reach out to them no matter how they voted in the past and show them that has the next governor, i intend to respond, but unfortunately the current governor failed to respond to the economic needs for so many georgians. he refused money for school lunches this summer. he refused to deploy millions of dollars for the needs of our -- for people who are renting or just need help with housing. he has refused to respond to so many of the crises and our state, and takes credits for resources that have been delivered by president biden. i intend to be a governor who works well. not only for our state, but with people had side our state to serve everyone. i think we can turn out the voters we need to turn out.

sadly, brian kemp -- he's an extremist. he's been an extremist for years, and now people are going to see with the consequences of that extremism will do to the state of georgia unless we change and unless they become the next governor of the state. >> let's talk about turnout leader abrams, because republicans in georgia and across the country said that the record turnout that we saw in the state -- not a real issue. you told my colleague joel read the two were unrelated and this was really like saying if more people in the water, there are fewer sharks. this vote is an attack. the republicans have continued to lob in georgia and refused to talk -- i'm wondering if you can elaborate. >> we know that voter turnout is a metric that republicans will often use to dispel the idea that they are doing something wrong. the reality is voter suppression is not designed to stop everyone from voting.

it's designed to limit certain people. because of the narrow margins of elections in georgia, those impediments have real consequences. remember, president biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes, so if you could limit limit access to a few thousand people here or there that is voter suppression. even though we saw a record turnout on both sides of the aisle in this primary we also know we saw a record number of rejections of absentee ballot applications. not just the ballots themselves, but the applications. we know that when we head into the general election the swelling roles will mean more people will face these impediments. we cannot use this one or will break to determine success or failure of their intention. their intention remains the same, to limit access to voters of color, young voters, voters they find inconvenient. as brian kemp said, the outcome of the federal election in 2020, 2021, was the impotence for changes that he spearheaded in the state. those are changes designed to stop certain people from

getting to the polls easily. that is wrong, no matter who does it. >> a lot in this race. voting is going to be an issue. we will continue to talk about this. i've a couple more questions for. you are we going to -- i think frankly that you have done a -- your best, to not nationalize this race. one of the best. i've worked a lot of races. i'm like, stacey abrams is just still talking about georgia. as you should. can we expect to see the president and vice president join you on the trail closer to november? >> we invite anyone who wants to see georgia move forward. that means president joe biden invites president kamala harris. just today we announced that we intend to raced teacher pay, the base pay starts at $50, 000, by 2026. this means that georgia will finally be in the top ten of states in terms of pay. right now, we are behind of mississippi, alabama and florida.

we are below mississippi, who just raise their pay to 41,500. georgia is only at $39, 092, and that's after a pay raise, because republicans have actually shorted georgia teachers by thousands of dollars of the last 20 years. i intend to make certain that georgia pays our teachers to keep them in the classroom. we know across this country that teachers are leaving in droves. 55% of teachers are thinking of leaving classrooms. georgia's 31%. they need pay. >> i'm sorry to interrupt you. >> i'm sorry. it is critical. >> we've only got a short time. the president, vice president are welcome to come. you are focused on georgia, is when i'm hearing. >> i am. i invite people to go to stacey abrams.com to know more of our plans for georgia. everyone is welcome to help. make certain that we have one georgia that can thrive. >> before i let you go, georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, and his right-hand, testifying before the january 6th committee. what will you be listening for?

>> i know that while brad raffensperger did the right thing in refusing to commit treason, he's unfortunately going to conflate his bad behavior as one of the leaders of voter suppression with a larger issue of insurrection. we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted. what happened on january 6th was an assault on democracy. we can not allow legitimate questions of making sure that people have access to the polls to be turned into these accusations, that there was some type of fraud in georgia. these are separate conversations, i hope that the secretary of state focuses on what happens in january. focuses on the fact that georgia was part of how we save this nation, ed and continue focused making certain that every georgian has aspect of the right to vote, the freedom to do so, without -- if we can do that, we can all come together and save our country. >> stacey abrams, democratic candidate for governor in

georgia, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> all, right ahead i know prices are high, okay, and it's a problem with those hope for folks, we're gonna talk about. it plus the january six committee as we've been telling you, it's hosting three more hearings this week, we'll talk about who's scheduled to testify with my panel, that's up next. stay with. us stay with. us i love to be outdoors. i have jaybirds that come when i call. i know how important it is to feed your body good nutrition. i heard about prevagen and i heard about the research behind it. taking prevagen, i have noticed that i can think clearly. my memory is better. i can say that prevagen is one of the most outstanding supplements i've ever taken. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. hey businesses! you all deserve something epic! so we're giving every business, our best deals on every iphone - including the iphone 13 pro with 5g. that's the one with the amazing camera? yep! every business deserves it...

debuted in primetime last week, now we look ahead to the next three hearings. tomorrow the committee will focus on how the former president newly-lost the election but continue to spread lies about winning. we learned today, former trump campaign manager william instep ian, will be a witness, he'll be joining former fox news -- wednesdays hearing will feature acting attorney generally jeff rosen, and other former justice department officials. it's gonna take us inside the doj, when they confronted

donald trump, and bring asked him to resign. -- and on thursday, the hearing will center on how trump pressured his vice president, we're talking about mike pence, to overturn the election. they'll be testimony from greg jacob, a key adviser to the former vice president who was with him on january six. there's a lot to get into today, so of course gonna bring in our political panel right now. jacqueline alameda is with me, she's a congressional investigation reporter for the washington post. she's also an event as nbc contributor. we have political stranded as alicia johnson, chief impact officer of was 36 broad, republican strategists -- former communication director for the republican natural committee. okay, very qualified here on this political panel, let's jump into it. in the first hearing, the committee released some notable testimony from former attorney general bill barr. they also had testimony from

trump's daughter, ivanka and former trump spoke to the jason miller. this is what they said about the former presidents push to overturn the 2020 election. take a listen. >> i had three discussions with the president i can recall. one was on november 23rd, one was on december 1st, and one was on december 14th. and i've been through, sort of the given take of those discussions, and in that context i made it clear that i did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen, and putting out this stuff which i don't president. >> how did that affect you perspective about the election? >> it affected my perspective. i respect attorney general barr. so, i accepted what he was saying. >> i was in the oval office and at some point in the conversation, maddow's cow ski was the data person, was

brought on. i remember, he delivered to the president and pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose. >> and that was based on the data team names assessment of county by county, state by state results as reported? >> correct. >> so, i should gnocchi -- note he has since called the testimony incomplete. it's clear to me, at least, the people and trump's orbit who work for him, his attorneys, the attorney knew that the election lies were lies. knew that he had lost the election and tried to tell him as such. jacqueline, would kind of impacts to these revelations have in the face of this continued onslaught of the big lie, if you will? is it effective, do you think? >> i think it's actually

twofold. the more immediate is what we see the committee doing here, is what they have previously done in court filings when they have been seeking to get witnesses to comply or obtain information. trying to convince a federal judge, the most recent example that there is a good faith basis for concluding that trump and others, some of his coconspirators engaged in a quote, unquote, conspiracy to defraud the u.s. and destruct the capital. to prove that trump was acting corruptly by knowingly spreading lies about the election, and that he had ample reason to know he had legitimately lost. that's why we are seeing clip after clip of his allies. his biggest allies telling him repeatedly that there was no such election -- to support his claims. he was not able to change the outcome of the result either way. that he should sort of knock off these continued claims. i think second folders also to

show that the insurrection is still happening today in some ways. i know a lot of people have talked about this. january 6th is shorthand for the fact that there are still elections propagating the same lies around the country, and having people like william barr, ivanka trump, people who are respected and trump's circle and among the voters still helps to sort of point out the hypocrisy here for those voters. >> so, even along those lines, i mean the former political editor at fox news is going to testify tomorrow. this was the gentleman who was fired by the network, because he called the election in arizona for then candidate biden, i remember saying are we going to use the fox number? cop fox called it. there's so much scrutiny. i'm wondering, what are you going to be looking for tomorrow, and do you think this testimony from an employee of

fox news is going to be key when we zoom out 30,000 -- from this? >> i'm fascinated by the fact -- chris is an old friend. regardless of which network you work at or worked at, he is somebody who's well respected and has been for a long time. he's a straight shooter. i expect to hear from him. basically he is a fax man. how they went through that decision-making process and what the calls were from the white house. a lot of what he was probably getting are your standard election night activities. someone, you and i have been on election nights where we talk to networks where they wanted to make calls we didn't like. we'd say hold off. don't do that, yet. we are looking for disinformation. that information. some of this will be normal. it's going to be interesting as wet is the abnormal. that's where jackie used a really important term, which is coconspirator.

all the way down to the subcommittee level, it's political. this is building a legal case in which the committee will be sending recommendations to the department of justice. >> we will be watching that. there is a new political report out that includes a memo drafted by attorney greg jacob. greg jacob was the attorney to then vice president pence. this memo came a little over a day before the attack on the capitol and the memo is fascinating. it shows how he directly influenced and then vice presidents refusal to go along with president trump and his plans to kind of subvert our democracy, for lack of a better term. given what we know in the reported memo, which should the committee highlight from the jacob testimony? >> big dog i think there is a lot to highlight here. how long it took for him to

actually go through the facts and go through with donald trump was saying. with a lot of the people that were continuing to carry the water to talk about this big lie. he actually looked at the facts, he looked at the legality of it in which trump was saying and he has a significant amount of evidence that shows what donald trump and when he asked mike pence to do is illegal. but he was asking states to do is illegal. it's important that they bring up all of this. every single piece of this memo in the hearings on thursday. here's the thing. we are not going to persuade the voters who already still believe that donald trump won the election. the people who don't think that the insurrection -- were not going to change their minds. there are people who are independent. who will be looking at this. there are people who are wanting to make sure that congress is supposed to be doing with they're supposed to do when it comes to holding

leaders accountable for january 6th. there's democratic base who may not show up in the midterms who might be galvanized by some of the evidence that comes out. i appreciate would the hearing is doing. with this committee is doing. that they are setting the stage and building the case beyond just january 6th. all of the leading events up until then, especially when it came to asking the vice president to do something illegal, that his attorney has said he has a lot of evidence for. >> this is going to be fascinating to watch. i think it's important we reiterate at these hearings are presidents of evidence. it's not a criminal proceeding as alencia gets noted. the primetime hearing was compelling, but not a breaking television. jacqui, i think i'll give you the last word on this. do you agree, and with needs to happen this week to get compelling tv? >> yeah, well at the end of the day it is not my job to be the media critic, it's really just

understand and communicate the information that the committee is trying to put forward. in the same vein, the success of the committee is contingent on whether or not they're able to breakthrough. that requires good, compelling television. but i think that there are other ways that the committee can disseminate their information. that's why you see lawmakers doing morning shows. late night tv. spanish language television. we're going to see the committee going forward, continuing to get more creative about the ways in which they're trying to reach audiences that have been traditionally harder to reach. >> alencia johnson, doug hyde, and our washington reporter, thank you. after the break, we will look into why we are it's getting more expensive to feed your families. we've got some answers. i have great guests in my ultra corner today. please stay with us. ay please stay with us. please stay with us. “let's get you on some antibiotics right away.” we could bring it right to your door. with 1 to 2 day delivery from your local cvs.

about inflation. once it gets into the system it's very hard and oftentimes very painful to get out of it. to get it out of the system. when you think about all of the things that in our lives that we are paying more for, and take that back to the form. they are paying for more things as well. russia, ukraine, the leroux's, own major sources of fertilizer. from farm to table, this is a massive ripple effect. >> nbc's scott cohen. thank you so much. >> prices have gone up substantially. prices have tripled. energy prices are rising. there's difficulty obtaining diesel in some parts of the country. it's a very difficult situation. especially for farmers. there is a real question about whether you're going to make more money this year than they have in previous years. there's some question for a lot of farmers whether they're gonna make any money this year.

>> the manager at this store tells me that they are getting calls almost every day from suppliers about increases. no choice but to pass that on to consumers and despite what president biden had to say, the economists now have to say this inflation could be around for as much as two more years. symone? >> scott cohen, we do live in a global society. what's happening in ukraine if it's what happens here in america. thank you very much. all right. so, is beyond c teasing in music? our comedy -- showing up in public. my pop culture gurus are joining me next to talk about it all. stay with me next. k abou it all stay with me next. stay with me next. this is the moment. for a brand new treatment for moderate-to-severe eczema. cibinqo - now fda approved 100% steroid free not an injection, cibinqo is a once-daily pill for adults who didn't respond to previous treatments.

and tv personality. you are all the best people to get into. let's do it. i want to start with the most important culture corner news out there of the year, and that is beyoncé. queen bee. she started off the beehive by racing on her social media pictures. follows -- followers are like me or speculating if her album lemonade is on the way. i was disturbed. i stayed up the other night waiting to see if the album is going to drop. what is the queen trying to tell us? >> beyond c -- beyoncé is the y'all queen. kyiv -- i forgot she even had twins. red hot.

we've got a chicken wing shortage. gas is high. we haven't figured out the omar johnson deal. i have bigger things to be worried about rather than beyoncé putting out music. either she is or she's not. but she's not gonna work me up about it. >> shelby, are you quitting on this one? of >> when i saw it i was like, wait a minute. what's going on? she's known for dropping something overnight. you wake up and the world has gone crazy. the world's off its axis, because the queen has dropped into all the more single now. but when she changed her avatar to a generic avatar it's like, wait a minute. stop the press. the beehive is swarming. i'm concerned. i want to know what's going on. i need to know. i need all the juice. all of it. >> yeah.

[inaudible] >> i want to turn to rolling stone. i think they've got some explaining to do because the magazine in a firestorm of backlash after releasing its 200 greatest rap albums -- they've called out rolling stone for the controversial list and the game is one of those folks he took to twitter, and he asked quote, how is the documentary not on the list for the 200 greatest rap albums of all-time's? shelby, does the game, and do others have a point here? what's going on? >> i think he does have a point. that was a big album and it was huge but i don't think the game wants to play the game and he should know, being in the business, you gotta play the game. he does not want to show up to certain things, he's not a red carpet guy, but he's gotta play the game. if he's in the game. all people should know that. you play at your own risk.

you have to do what's needed to be done to get where you're trying to go. it is what it is. >> quinton, -- had something to say about rolling stone. he blasted the culture council, which is a mostly white panel behind the controversial list. none of the folks are rappers on the panel. they're not known hip-hop seniors. is this culturally tone-deaf? >> it most definitely ends. when i heard the 200 greatest list and then rolling stone -- i rolled my eyes so hard i almost had a seizure. this is what happens when we have a lack of top level diversity. i'm sorry. that culture cancel is just not the right group of people, in my opinion, to compile this list. that is just like the source magazine putting together the top 100 country albums. it's just improper. it feels like it's missing something. this is what happens when we allow people who are not a part of the culture to be the gate

keepers to the culture and the financiers of the culture, this is what happens. we embolden them with the audacity to think that they know with their doing when they put things like this together. >> i want to turn and make sure we have a chance to talk about something that is very vexing. the public dispute between comedians monique and -- it has gotten messier. she posted a video expressing remorse for not showing support for his daughter in connection to her sexual assault claim. she has responded by calling monika monster and now the sisters chimed in on facebook trying to make a public plea. talking about how she's been displacing her anger on the wrong people. all of this is just too much. it started last month when the two comedians were arguing over the who is the headliner for the event. everybody seemed to have a -- from the promoter, from the event.

shelby, at this point we're not even talking about the craft anymore. we're talking about the mess. how do we move on? >> to begin, this should have been handled differently by bleak. she felt she was done wrong in a way. it would have been with the promoters, because clearly they thought he was a headliner for the exact same show. it seems to me as if the promoter gave them both what they wanted to hear, which would be that they would be headlining, and this is where we are. i think at this point they both should drop it. monika started talking about his daughter. something that happened when she was 13. they all did address that. it's very inappropriate. that made me feel, as a woman, i know people who have had gone through this. to bring that up and use it as a weapon, to fight with her -- it's just wrong at all levels. i cannot side with monique on this one. >> me too. she might be tweeting about me next. thank you all very very much.

some, that have more to say when our democracy is threatened. i want you guys to hear me. thursday's hearing, it wasn't

just a presentation to remind the nation of with the insurrectionists did. these hearings are necessary, because they have to show that the threat is still real and alive. it did not end on january 6th. we cannot forget that although more than 820 insurrectionists have been arrested, hundreds more who were caught on camera storming the capitol, those folks went about their daily lives like nothing happened in the days and weeks after. many of them are elected officials. at least 21 state legislators, all republican, might i add, physically came to washington, d.c., to join in the attempted coup. the new york times found more than a quarter, at least five of those lawmakers, are running for federal or statewide office. and several of them are state house members running for state senate seats. the threat is real. it's active. i was at the democratic national committee on january 6th with then vice president

elect kamala harris. the democratic national committee is two blocks away from the united states capitol. while we were in that building with the vice president elect of the united states of america, a bomb threat was called in. vice president kamala harris had to be evacuated. it was not just at the democratic national committee. there was also a bomb threat at the republican national committee, too. but still, when you look at the people who have planted those moms, they've not been identified. they're still out there. just as many other insurrectionists, election deniers and capital rioters are, that does not fire you up to, i don't know. the people at the capitol that day went home! they went back to coffee shops, police departments. serving people in their communities! the threat is still active. our democracy is still in danger. the threat has not been utilized. that is why this matters,

folks. that is why with the january 6th committee is doing is so important. we must keep paying attention. all right, gone. thank you for watching symone on the sunday afternoon. i am symone sanders. you can catch me every weekend on 4 pm eastern anytime on peacock. and the msnbc hub every monday and tuesday. hit me up on social media. i've got something to say everywhere. you can find highlights, news and exciting things in the works for the show on instagram, twitter and tiktok. right now, i would like to hand things over to my friend, reverend al sharpton and politicsnation. al sharpton and politicsnation ♪ ♪ ♪ good evening and welcome to politicsnation, let me te
