"the reidout" with joy reid is up next. k as well. "the reidout" with joy reid is up next. tonight on "the reidout" -- >> now justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more. >> this makes it clear, the world's leading innovation will happen in america. today we received another outstanding jobs report. we're on the cusp of passing the most important step we can pass

to help us lower inflation. >> what a week of contrast as president biden was racking up win after win, republicans were pushing abortion bans, social security cuts and election denial and watching their mid-term prospects begin to fade. and a texas jury just delivered a massive blow to alex jones, ordering the conspiracy theorist to pay more than $45 million in punitive damages for a first grader killed at sandy hook. i'll be joined by andrew warren, the democratically elected state attorney general who is the victim of an abuse of power by governor ron desantis. it was a great week for democrats, one that will be poised to get even better. first up the economy. after months of criticism of president biden for everything from gas prices to inflation to you name it, today we got proof that his economic policies are working with the latest

blockbuster jobs report. in july job growth soared. u.s. employers added 528,000 employees, smashing expectations. and the unemployment rate is now down to 3.5%, a 50-year low. the job market is now recovered all ever its pandemic losses across every sector from manufacturing to retail, and the president touted the stellar report at the white house in full biden mode with his signature aviator sunglasses. >> today there are more people working in america than before the pandemic began. in fact, there are more people working in america than at any point in american history and today's report proves making in america isn't just a slogan, it's my administration. it's a reality. >> he always does the biden point. biden's victory lap is well-deserved since it's not just the jobs report. gas prices have dropped every single day for seven straight weeks, down from a high of more

than $5 in juppe which republicans swore was biden's fault. meanwhile democrats have sent two major bills for the president's signature, the ships act and the pact act, expanding health care for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits overcoming completely unnecessary republican obstruction and high five-game. senate democrats will give the president another big win to pass their inflation reduction act of 2022 with historic investment to fight climate change and to extend access to obamacare and affordable prescription drugs to finally letting medicare negotiate with drug. after clearing a major hurdle, getting arizona conservative senator kyrsten sinema on board who deand maed the preservation of a major tax loophole for extremely hedge funders. assume it survives the weekend voterama that republican lindsey

graham demanded to make hell, stay mad, lindsey, a final vote could come next week. the very good week began with a vai drone strike that called al qaeda leader ayman al zawahri in kabul on tuesday. on tuesday kansas rejected a measure to strip abortion rights from the state constitution. that vote sent shock waves through the republican party and has them scrambling to try to pc pedal on their extreme agenda. so whales have they been up to this week? after that high-fiving and fist bumping over temporarily holding up military aid for veterans last week, this week 11 republicans still voted against it, including kentucky senator rand paul who felt the need to also be a jerk about it. >> the legislation also creates a presumption of service connection for global war on terror veterans for asthma. the cdc estimates that 1 in 12 people have asthma which is approximately 25 million

americans. >> and then there's the right wing lovefest cpac in its second day. they got a lecture on how to win from hungarian autocrat viktor orban, an appeal that consichted of just be more fascist. since then it's been about, well, what you would expect. >> over 54 countries have now been taken by the machines or are getting taken by the machines, and you never get to go back. >> it's like lincoln said. we're not going to be destroyed with foreign forces come on in. >> the militant left in the america are the modern day version of book burners. >> when i said i'm a christian nationalist, i have nothing to be ashamed of, and that will make america great again when we lean into biblical principles. >> it occurs to me that the biden fbi believes this is a room of dangerous radicals. and you know what, they are

right. >> was that a tan suit on ted cruz? joining me is the president and show of votto latino and the author of why the we did it, a travel log from the republican road to hell." tim i, i need to start with you, it seems like a chef's kiss ending to republicans' very bad week is alex jones. now been hit with a $45.2 million penalty. that's just the penalty today. he also had been hit with $9 million, so it's over 50 million that he'll have to fork over to just one of the sandy hook families, and i just -- i have to play you what marjorie taylor greene said defending alex jones before that verdict came in. take a look. >> somebody like alex jones who did say some things, but yet he is being politically persecuted right now and being forced to pay out millions and millions of dollars and no one -- no one agrees with what he said but

what we're tired of is the political persecution. >> oh, it's the persecution, tim, of those -- those persecuting families who just got mad because he said their kids didn't exist and didn't die in a massacre. your thoughts? >> man, cpac always finds new ways to decide that they are the persecuted ones. they are the ones, you know works society has thrust our ills upon. look, joy, i've got good news. you started with good news about biden, but alex jones, bad thingsing are maybe happening to bad people this week. this has been nice. we haven't had a lot of that the last seven years, but a terrorist, you know, got to meat his-maker. alex jones has to pay $45 million, 49 million whatever it ends up being to the victims. hopefully that's not the last one of those. you know, the grand jury seems to be doing more work looking into trump and his associates. i think that in addition to the very tangible good news i think that we can all take a little bit of joy out of people getting

their comeuppance after a long time of people avoiding it. >> absolutely. there was 3%er who got seven years. i thought it was too long. didn't get the terrorism enhancement, prosecutor asked for 15 but we're starting to see the law of consequences kick in and that's nowhere mo true than in kansas than the arrogance of alito to go out to rome and applaud himself, like this close to doing rallies like trump to sort of get himself to be more lauded and famous. after that kansas literally slapped down this attempt to strip abortion rights in that state, so it does feel like, tim is right, that there's a momentum now to the arc of the moral universe actually starting to bend towards justice. >> so before i get into, that when you pan to both our faces after we saw the cpac, it was -- we couldn't believe it, like is this real or "snl" driving? i have to acknowledge that both of our faces were like oh, my god, so your produce remembers doing an excellent job cutting

that because those were amazing. that could have been the mic drop for the evening, joy. what we're seeing is when you look at what happened in kansas, it wasn't just that democrats came out. independents who were not registered in either party came out specifically just to vote on that issue. >> yeah. >> and you saw a ton of republicans that voted for the republican party for their candidates and still voted against the measure, so this is what the republicans don't want. they don't want a reason to rile up the american people and recognize, for them to recognize that freedom is on the ballot in november, and one of the states that i'm looking at very closely right now as a result what have happened in kansas is texas. trump won kansas by 14 points. he won texas by four points, and you have greg abbott who is on the ballot who has personally banned abortions in texas and

has personally tried to obscure the access to the voting booth and who has tried to do exactly what the democrats are winning on right now. he tries to say that climate change isn't real. he tries to make sure that everybody has access to their guns without any penalty, and they are going to have a moment of reckoning. i think it's almost fitting that cpac is taking place in texas because the roosters are coming home and they will have a hard time maintaining that. texas is going to be closer than republicans ever wanted it to be. >> tim, i feel like having viktor orban was almost poetic, too. maybe the people there don't understand that they could have goggled this. abortion is actually legal in hungary and you can get an abortion up to 24 weeks, a fetal anomly. you can't do it in texas but you can do it there and they are encouraging more of the european babies, only wants the european ones, not the race-mixed one. they basically pay women to have

kids. if you have more kids you get money. you don't have to pay taxes. the stuff he's doing is not exactly what they think he's doing and then's, that and then you've got all of these sorts of things they have to keep in their head at the same time. kari lake has to say there's fraud and this election was not valid but i won so it's okay if the absentee ballots help you and if there's three different kinds of elections help you. all do they keep all of this in their heads at the same time and try to survive getting rid of roe? >> well, i think that they all -- they are not trying to be consistent or care about policy. this is the insight into the crowd at cpac and most of the republican base. they don't have specific policies that they are hoping that the government gives them. they are looking for leaders to punish their enemies. >> yeah. >> that is what is the motivating emotion of the

republican base right now, and that's what orban is. orban triggers the media and triggers people works you know, think race mixing is okay and, you know, he triggers all the other people that they hate, and that is why they like viktor orban. they don't actually know what the policies are in hungary or, you know, appreciate the detailed policies in hungary and so i think that that is where potentially some republicans i think are gettable, right, because that base makes up a big portion of the republican party. they control the party no doubt, but what we saw in kansas is that there are republican voters that don't want to go all the way down the rabbit hole on all these extremes. you know, even pro-life voters, i'm pro-life but the hungarian rules sound reasonable to me. >> right. >> i'm pro-life but i think there should be exceptions. i don't want there to be bounties at women's heads at four weeks. i don't want like in missouri a doctor to have to call a government politburo before they can operate on a woman. i mean, like -- like that is not

a popular position, even among some people, a minority maybe but some people that voted for donald trump, and i think those folks are gettable and that's what's kind of working right now for the democrats after a tough, you know, period of news earlier in the year. i think that's why you're starting to see these numbers change. >> and i think, you know, the challenge with setting your agenda for how you're going to run your election in like may is that you really don't know what things are going to look like in november, and republicans made it a decision that their whole election was going to be crime, gas prices and inflation. well, gas prices are down and they are just going to keep going down. they are usually higher in the summer than other parts of the year and they are going to keep going in the direction. there's an inflation act of 2022 that no republicans are going to vote for. if the whole thing is inflation and you vote against the inflation bill hard to say that's your issue. biden gets to be the empathetic guy to stop inflation and then to your point on abortion you

start to cross outside the base so if you're saying you're going to arrest people in texas. you mean, you're going to arrest brown and black people, right. you're telling the base of poem that they think they can attract latino voters based on some of the conservative issues. they ain't going to do it if they are talking about putting bounties on them. >> in texas, ruby red texas, 68% of latinos believe in abortion access, and we're talking about cross-generation. we're not even talking about when you look at the younger voter where there's the biggest opportunity among democrats, that number even skyrockets, but something that you just mentioned, this is what i think the inflation reduction bill does so beautifully t.deals with climate so we're going have the biggest climate investment in our nation's history that will help be a leader worldwide so that helps young voters because they have been tracking the administration and holding them to account. it also provides medicare prescription drug negotiations. that's going to get older voters and then you have the

independents when you start talking about the importance of making sure that you're actually tackling inflation. in one bill full fell swoop he was able to tackle the three pillars of, you know, the base that people thought he couldn't thread, so i do think going into the fall there is absolutely wind on the president's back and on. democrats because it's not just what they are able to deliver, but it's also for everything that the republicans are against. >> and the bottom line, is you know, in general, republicans get voted for for themes and memes. democrats get voted on for policy wins. it's just the way the parties are perceived and kind of the way we are. sorry, tim, but we're done. have a great weekend. the over-the-top power trip by ron desantis punishing a democratically elected official for speaking his mind. that official andrew warren joins me next when "the reidout" continues after this. s me next " continues after this

another busy day? of course it is. you're a cio in 2022. but you're covered. with security that protects your company everywhere, on-premise... in the cloud... and right here too. comcast business. powering possibilities. being governor comes with a lot of demands, requires you to focus your time, attention and effort on the issues most pressing to the people of your state. unless, of course, are you supreme chairman -- i mean, i'm sorry, florida governor ron desantis. here's what he's been focused on recently. using a 75-year court ruling to go after a single miami restaurant for hosting a drag show. he is agitated about the decision by other states to declare monkeypox a public health emergency. forget the fact that he's trying to re-run his covid playbook.

florida has the third highest number of monkeypox cases in the u.s. according to the cdc and while florida is facing 9,000 teacher shortage going into the school year he's busy sending teachers to a christian nationalist indoctrination camp to hearn how to teach his version of patriotic history that downplays issues of race and slavery. >> putting myself in the shoes of a first or second-year teacher, seeing this slide it's very easy to say that george washington and t.j. were both very anti-slavery, you know. they did everything they could notwithstanding they both had slaves. >> now desante sis suspending the top prosecutor from tampa andrew warren who was elected to the position not once but twice for signing on to letters were prosecutors across the country saying they won't use their offices to pursue criminal cases

against seekers or providers of abortion or gender transition treatments. mind you, no cases have been prout to his office on either matter, and florida has not even enacted laws criminalizing gender transition treatments for minors. joining me now is the newly suspended hillsboro county state attorney andrew warren. i've been excited to talk to you. i've been getting so many texts from florida friends about what's happened to you and i'm glad you were available today. i want to play what governor desantis said yesterday about suspending you. >> when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty. you have neglected your duty and are you displaying a lack of competence to be able to reform those duties. >> what do you think this is about because you -- you've broken no laws. you've not gotten any prosecutions that you've declined to do. you just signed on to a letter. what do you think this is about? >> this is about the governor

running for president. this is political theater, plain and theater. anyone who cares about democracy and free speech should be scared by this, and this is a core principle of our democracy that the voters get to decide who their elected officials are. even my 8-year-old understands that. it's just this is how democracy works. >> do you think -- so you think this is theater. you think he's playing for an audience in like iowa and the potential caucuses, that he's playing basically for fox news and for a republican audience? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, look at what he said. he's mischaracterizing and lying what things that i've done, things that i've said. this isn't about what i've done as a state attorney. this is about what i've said and it's about him guessing about things that i may do in the future. as you pointed out, joy, for cases that even haven't come before me yet. >> let me go through this just a moment because we know that on the gender affirming care side, the florida board of medicine all appointed by desante, they

just voted today to accept the state's petition to ban and restrict gender affirming care in the state. it's not going to rule-making so it's not a law yet. it's just a recommendation from the florida board of medicine, so there's no law that you have refused to indict on, right? >> that's right. >> so not only have no cases come before me about gender affirming health care, there's no law in place. i mean, this is orwellian thought police where i'm being punished for not enforcing a law that doesn't even exist yet. it's hard to fat yom how this happens in our country. >> and when it comes to abortion, there's a 15-week ban, but is there a law in place that says anyone, have you heard of or do you know of a case where there's a potential prosecution that could come before you of a doctor who performed an abortion after 15 weeks? is there prosecution even pending anywhere on the sghokt.

>> no, not at all. in fact, when i signed on that and let's be clear, that letter was a value statement expressing my opposition to laws that were violating people's constitution rights, but at the time i signed on to it roh moo-hyun was the law of the land so a 15-week ban was unconstitutional under federal law, and it's currently unconstitutional under a state law in florida because there's a right to privacy in our constitution, and it's not just me saying that. the first court to hear the issue said that, so i'm being punished for enforcing a law that doesn't exist on transgender health care. i'm being punished for enforcing an unconstitutional law that hasn't even come before me yet. again, this is political theater. this is because the president is trying to outflank -- the governor is trying to outflank president trump in his president is aspirations. >> let's go through some of the other bills because, you know, you talk about thought policing. you've been vocal in oppose some of the other things desantis has done. he signs this anti-riot bill in

the wake of the george floyd protest that grants civil immunity to drivers who hit protesters with their car and protects police budgets from being cut no matter what. there's also a bill he signed creating one of the nation's only election police units that friend of mine who work on elections down there say they are very concerned will be used to sic a police agency on voters of color. you've been vocal about that. do you believe that this is overall saying no one in florida who is elected or appointed is allowed to have any thought that ron desantis disagrees with? >> well, that's certainly part of it, joy. i mean, elected officials in florida should be worried and careful about what they say now because if you say something that the governor doesn't agree with or doesn't like, you can be suspended or punished or who knows what, arrested. but it's more than that. the governor and any elected leader is supposed to be in office to solve problems, to make our community and our state and our country better, and instead this governor is

inventing problems. he's creating fake solutions to imaginary problems so that he can go at it to his stump speech when he runs for his next office. that's the real shame of all of this. >> very quickly. do you have any recourse? >> well, i was -- this happened so fast. i was blindside, escorted out of my office by an armed deputy no, notice or chance to look at the order so we're going to fight this and we'll fight this vigorously. we're exploring our legal options right now. >> and i'm sure your constituents would appreciate that since they eexwilled you tries. andrew warren, thank you very much. still ahead, another big win for the biden agenda as senator kyrsten sinema agrees to support a major climate and economy bill as long as it includes a big old fat tax break for the wealthy, of course. we'll be right back. k for the w, of course. we'll be right back. welcome to allstate where anyone who bundles their home

okay. to top off what has already been a great week for president biden, the senate is now just days away from passing the inflation reduction act with support from all 50 democrats and notably zero republicans. senator kyrsten sinema finally gave the bill a thumbs up but only after they agreed to cut out the carried interest tack loopholes, something that would

make the wealthy pay their fair share. the carried interest loophole was the arizona senator's hill to die on, but in washington this is how the sausage is made. meantime, democrats appear to have ducked, at least for now, a pair of policing bills that would have sent billions of dollars in funding to police departments and added tens of thousands of new officers nationwide. basically the 1994 crime bill 2.0. weirdly enough at a time when the nation is still grappling with the fact that 376 officers and millions in police funding did nothing to save 17 fourth graders and two teachers in uvalde, texas, along with other evidence that more police do not equal less crime but could definitely mean more negative interaction than potentially dead motorists of color. despite the devastating impact on the voting base democratic leadership tried to push the police funding bills bypassing the committee and debate process

by attaching them to the very popular assault weapons ban until progressives successfully convinced them to separate it out. we're joined now by one of the congressman, congressman bowman from new york. so glad you're here. one of the things that's frustrated a lot of democratic voters, people who voted for democrats, is that it felt like well nothing ever happens, but i would always say to people, well a lot happens in the house, it just doesn't go to the senate. this is a case where the things that were happening were about the house. the crime bill was coming from the house. how did that happen at a time when democrats have so much momentum? how did that end up being on the agenda? >> you know, the fearmongering by republicans is very effective, and they have a national coordinated campaign of fear that continues to tell all of americans that democrats want to defund the police. democrats are not in support of

police and we need more police in our communities to make our communities safer when the reality is democrats have actually increased funding for police over the last two years, number one. number two, we need to have an honest holistic conversation about what public safety is all about. yes, the people in my distribute and throughout the country support law enforcement, absolutely, but we also have to have a very public conversation about accountability. george floyd -- the george floyd justice in policing act passed the house well over a year ago and has been sitting in the senate and is pretty much dead in the senate ever since. we need to have a public honest conversation about public safety in our country. what is a research-based approach to public safety, and for these two bills to try to be forced through the house just blew me away. i mean, i know i haven't been there that long, but i've introduced 43 bills myself. when you introduce a bill, it

goes to committeech the chair that have committee then decide to have a markup, then decide to have hearings. there were no hearings, no markups, no anything, and then they just wanted us -- i mean, at one point they tried to bring the bills to the floor for a voice vote, yay or nay and we're done with it. that's not what the american people want. we want safety and we want accountability and research-based approaches that deal with things like poverty and public safety that we're not talking nearly enough about. >> just to be clear, for folks who understand, we're getting a little nerdy with y'all f.there's a committee process then you do get to have the drawn-out conversation because that means you can call hearings and witnesses, and can you actually have that. you can call uvalde parent. could you call people, from you know, the top supermarket that survived that. you can have a -- you can call capitol police because let's just be clear. there were capitol police fighting for their lives against

other police. pennsylvania sent more police that were part of the insurrection than any state. like you could have those conversations if you had a committee vote. >> if you had a committee, if it goes through the process of markup in the commit to becomes a accomplishing conversation, and it becomes a process of truth and potential reconciliation with regard to policing, public safety safety and accountability in our country. there are people particularly in the communities of color and community that have been historically harmed by police are wondering what are the next steps with george floyd, and we were just looking to push forward these bills for police funding without any conversations on accountability or guardrails to determine how do we recruit, train and keep the best police, support the best police while holding others account schnabl. >> we just got indictments for breonna taylor two years after the fact. we need to talk about choke holds and other issues related

to public safety and have honest conversations. >> the other pieces, democrat are having some momentum, a few of the things we've been able to pass. the chips act, the pact act, the infrastructure bill, a gun safety bill which was gun safety issues since biden was a senator. the american rescue plan. you can keep going on and on. democrats have a portfolio to run on. is that the information that you're now having in the pundit class declared the democrats doa in terms of the house and senate? that isn't true anymore, right? >> i mean, democrats are killing the game right now. i mean, we're passing an assault wellons ban in the house last week. the chips act is going to be huge because now we'll start manufacturing chips here in our kin try and re-establish ourselves in that industry. i have five amendments to that bill that focuses on employee ownership, equity and t-12

s.t.e.m. education. that will be a game-changer for generations to come and now senators manchin and sinema are on board with a reconciliation bill that makes a stark change in climate and there's a lot of things to celebrate and we have a lot of momentum going into the mid terms and why disrupt that by dividing the caucus because of procedural flaws and in my opinion egregious governance pushing for bills that do not allow people to participate. >> after the whole story surfaced we could have a whole story about policing. i can't tell y'all what to do, but it does feel that you would -- thank you both very much. have a great weekend. who won the week is still

ahead, but, first, the reversal of "roe v. wade" has led to many republicans and their extreme business on abortion. you want to force a 14-year-old to carry her uncle's baby to term? really. we'll be right back. y to term really we'll be right back. it absorbs an entire glass of water. it fit like a glove. it just felt like real underwear. game changer! it's the protection we deserve. my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. game changer! ruby's a1c is down with rybelsus®. my a1c wasn't at goal, now i'm down with rybelsus®. mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®.

georgia senate candidate herschel walker who said he's anti-abortion from the womb to the tomb. wait a minute, can the dead be aborted? joining me is joan walsh and david corn of "mother jones" and author of "american psychosis, historical revelation of when the republican party went crazy" comes out next month and not at moment too soon. since you have that title i've got to go to youers if. the republicans now are trying to run the other way from this nettery and say wait a minute, we're for exceptions and we're really reasonable an mothers are great. they are trying to do it but they are already on record saying those things. your thoughts? >> and not a lot of them are not running away as you saw in the clips. in the state level, a lot of republicans are backing abortion bans with no exceptions or even the most limited of exceptions. and i have a theory here, and i wonder what you think about this. maybe it's because of the book i have coming out. i by after january 6th after

donald trump in a way got away with it. he was not impeached. he still remains the leader of the republican party and stands chance of being the republican nominee in 2024 it sounds like the republican party says all bets are off. we can be as extreme as we want to be. we can accuse a supreme court nominee of being soft on pedophiles. we can, you know, increase gun rights even in the face of this increasing gun violence, and abortion we can go for what we've always really wanted, outright bans national. we have several bills pending, already introduced by republicans in the house to essentially ban abortion nationwide. they are just waiting to get in there after the mid-terms, so i think the party has felt kind of unencumbered, unbound after looking what happened after the post-election period. if you can get away with a big lie that trump has gotten away

with, why not try to get rid of social security, get rid of abortion, do everything they have always want to do but have felt somewhat restrained from doing. >> no. i think there's something to that. joan, i think it's also that they only really listen to each other. they only have fox news piping in them day and night. all people who think that twitter is the world. twitter is not the world but a force in the world. they have started to believe their open hype and to start to think that the things they are doing are popular and say people want this. alito went on an international road show to sort of pat himself on the back and be patted on back. they think this is awesome, and then when people actually vote and say hell no, then they freak out. joan. >> if you're asking me -- i was asking joan. >> go ahead, joan. >> can i talk? >> yeah. >> they have kansas as an example and people are kind of running scared after kansas but

then you've got indiana which is such a laboratory of insanity, joy, and i wrote about it last week. i mean, they actually don't even seem to know how our bodies work. one of them was complaining oh, this is so granular. we weren't prepared for this. they don't understand women. they don't care about women, and the notion >> i mean, this one guy in the show earlier thought the stomach was connected to the uterus. they thought the stomach was connected -- they don't even know basic anatomy.

a lot of 13 year olds do a phenomenal job as a 13 year old mothers -- decibel reported. the rioters turned against the fdr new deal. now you have ron johnson saying, let's make -- this is ron johnson. wow >> social security and medicare, if you qualify for the entitlement, you just get it no matter what the cost. and our problem in this country is that more than 70% of our federal budget, of our federal spending, is all mandatory spending. it's on adam attic pilot. it -- never you just don't do proper oversight. you don't get in there and fix the programs going bankrupt. it's just on automatic pilot. what we ought to be doing is we ought to turn everything into discretionary spending, so let's all evaluate eight so we can fix programs, or fix programs that are broken. >> joan, i, mean they are letting their freak flag fly if they think that any americans

want social security to become a discretionary program that has to be authorized every couple of years. that's with our. saying >> we might have to cut it, we might have to [inaudible] it's crazy. and when you look back at what i wrote about white people, what's the matter with them, social security and medicare have always been on the table. they've tried to cut them. but the backlash from white seniors in particular, they are protected class. so i don't know, people say ron johnson is the stupidest man in the senate. i think he has a lot of competition. some people say he doesn't even want to win, he's running such a general campaign, and that is the stupidest thing we've heard him say by a republican in a long time. >> meanwhile, this is the voice of reason. now this is dictionary. let us play it. >> in our nation -- to hundred 64 history, there is no individual who's a greater threat to our republic than donald trump. he tried to steal the last election using lies and

violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. he is a coward, a real man would not lie to his supporters. he lost his election and he lost big. i know it, he knows it, and deep down, i think most republicans know it. len and i are so proud of liz for standing up to the truth, doing what is right, honoring her oath to the constitution. >> david, i describe this a sour man fighting ceremony in the lord of the rings. your thoughts? >> i thought of it as frankenstein versus dracula, or godzilla versus king kong. this is donald trump versus dick cheney. but i do believe in redemption. i know you do too. so, dick cheney is on the side of democracy now, when he was in in power. that is a good thing and we should salute that. >> until there's another war he could profit of of, fine. joan and david are gonna stay with. us we will play who won the week after this break. fter this break. .s.

he pulls off this compromise with manchin and sinema, we get major climate investments. that's a miracle. maybe it will shut people up for -- who say that he shouldn't run for 2024, because that's crazy. talk >> i remember the same talk was made about president obama. like he shouldn't run for reelection. we say that about every democratic president. i agree with, you was a big week for biden. okay, david cohen, who won the week? >> scarlet lewis and neil heslin. these are the two sandy hook parents who are nearly $50 million in lost damages to get conspiracy theorists alex jones. and what did they show us? they showed us that you can beat back the disinformation warfare of jones and other people with a very simple element. the truth. >> yes. absolutely. and you know what? people forget, this guy is not just another conspiracy theorist. he's like the uber conspiracy theories that has been doing this for a long time and was involved in january 6th. my choice for who won the week

-- the state, but the matter with kansas? not a thing. they won the week. they beat back this draconian attempt to rewrite the state constitution to take away women's rights, women's freedom. the celebration, we're gonna play a little bit of that celebration after kansas voters and not just democrats, democrats, republicans, and independents got together to take down this. sorry aledo, you had a bad week. joan walsh, david cohen, thank you very. much that's tonight's read out, happy, weekend all in with chris hayes starts right now. >> tonight on all in -- >> today, there are more people working in america than before the pandemic began. in fact, the more people working and america at any point in american history. >> the biden boom -- a jobs report so strong, even fox can't deny it. >> this is a blockbuster report. this is much higher than anybody was expecting. >>
