hey, good afternoon, it's good to see you i'm yasmin vause you can. it's a busy sunday on capitol hill. we're waiting the final vote on the inflation act. it could come any moment after the vote-a-rama. it's the marathon for the republicans to drag out this process. the president is eagerly

awaiting as a major victory heads into the victims as he makes this case that democrats are actually now getting things done. plus the former president bringing his continued focus on election lies to cpac. they are there to talk to the mega faithful. >> the chinese hacked the machines, labor all kinds of discrepancies. >> this time they found something different that they hadn't seen before, they're gonna join us ahead to talk more about that. first, to capitol hill, where we expect the senate to finally prosecute inflation reduction act as soon as this afternoon, we are hoping. but not before gop senators forced democrats to take some tough votes. during that vote-a-rama on, amendment -- it seems another amendment from john -- 15% minimum tax rate could create some problems for democrats. let's get to nbc's, julia --

before we see the potential hiccup and talk about that, and who it actually might involve, talk to me first about where we are at this hour, julie. >> yeah, yasmin, we are creeping up on our 15 of this vote-a-rama. if republicans continue to make democrats take hard votes essentially. so far they are sticking together, one major change to the bill so far on the insulin cap. private insurers unable to get a cap on that drug that they need. it will still be kept for those on medicare seniors over 65. democrats consider that erwin. there we want to take a listen to amy klobuchar and what she said earlier this morning. >> what's the amazing story is is that our caucus has stuck together, defeated these amendments with no margin. theresa field us. for after vote after vote we have done this with no sleep,

11 hours straight. why? because we know this bill is finally gonna do something for climate change bring greenhouse gases down 40% by 2030. finally my provision, my law bill that i've been working on forever to lift the ban on negotiating less expensive drugs under medicare. i guess my colleagues are gonna vote against, that it makes no sense to me. >> look they are still expected to take a couple of hours to get through this process. they just sort of grouping amendment votes because as you can tell they're getting tired on the floor. but there is some drama over the tax provision that maybe we want to talk about. >> yes, talk to me about that then. the corporate tax it is 50% corporate tax. we're hearing some drama over that involving arizona senator, kristen sinema also john thune as well. talk me through that. >> what is happening is senator john thune, he's a leadership on the republican side, he is expected to bring up this amendment that would tweak the

corporate tax provision. this is an issue because senator manchin, of course, one of all of these things in the bill. he wanted it to remain as, is even without the carried interest loophole being taken out. son of arson and already had her way on some of these things. what's senator sun's amendment would do is it would remove some smaller businesses in private equity land from being taxed under this corporate minimum tax. essentially, what senator sinema is now saying after hearing from the arizona chamber of commerce who she knows -- this might hurt some of those businesses. we expect her to vote for senator thune's amendment. the problem here is that the pay for it that he will use in place of this provision under the 15 minimum -- percent corporate minimum tax is the state and local tax cap, which northeast senate democrats that are -- senator menendez, senator schumer, are definitely going to be against. it it invalidates everything that they've been pushing for, especially over the last couple of years. we will see what happens here. bottom line, senator schumer

pretty much has to adopt an alternative to this. otherwise, senator thune's amendment is expected to pass and could make some major changes to the tax provisions of this bill. >> what would that mean then if that amendment were to pass? >> it would mean that $35 million, that's a rough estimate from some of their offices, that would get taken out of the debt reduction portion of this bill which of course is a huge priority for senator manchin especially since it deals with inflation directly. you can see it here, a lot of chaos as won some democratic aide described to me -- one called it a train wreck. democrats trying to continue building the plane as they're also attempting to land it. >> okay julie stark, and i laughed because there's a lot going on there. you talked us through a lot. thank you for that. things are developing by the minute. talk me on the shoulder if anything develops between now and the next time we talk. the white house, all eyes on this of course following it all very quickly. let's bring in nbc's, laura

barrett, as well. as you just saw, laura, a lot happening on the hill. you would know this. the president is also following this very closely amidst his second negative covid test today. i know he has now left the white house. let's talk first about his health, what he's doing, where he's been it today and also how they're following the developments on the hill. >> yasmin, president biden has finally been cleared to no longer isolate here at the white house. you saw him go to delaware this morning to reunite with the first lady after more than two weeks of separation because of his long bout with covid. the rebound positivity case. as you see him in the video, he's leaving the white house this morning, he's in good spirits, he smiling. he also told reporters that he thinks that the inflation reduction act will pass. they are expressing optimism. senior white house officials are doing the same but the progress that was made on saturday. we know the president has been

-- democratic lawmakers, working closely with senator schumer over the weekend. this is something that is very important to the white house, especially of the president has been watching everything from isolation as he goes up for his day trip down to the beach. this is something the white house is relying on to add to their list of several legislative wins in the past. >> okay, mora. how does the president arrive -- ride this positive wave? it seems the biden administration has been on this for the last two weeks or so? lots of major wins. this gets across the finish line, capping off a big week. you have the major jobs report. what's gonna do here? >> well, this is something that they are definitely watching very closely, adding it to their list of winds would be huge, especially on tuesday we have another primary day leading up to the midterms. when you look at the strong drugs report, this is just something else the white house administration can push. remember, they've been trying

to stay as far away as possible for many messaging about a recession, especially in the midterm election year. the jobs report is a very positive point for them, as well as something we've seen along gas prices. the president accounts meeting out yesterday saying this is the seventh straight week the gas prices have continued to go down. these are two of the big key points that they are harnessing to convince voters, especially that the economy is in what they call a strong place. despite the inflation and consumer price index increase that we've seen. being able to add the inflation reduction act, with the title, the messaging right there in the title of the bill, would be a huge win. in addition to, other legislation points -- manufacturing as well. >> the couple things we will watch over the next two hours or, so one is, of, course what is happening on the hill. then, if they're able to get this across the finish line in the next couple of hours will it affect the president and then they will take the

official -- with this monumental legislation getting across the finish line. for now, mauro barrett, we thank you. as the senate is inching closer to securing this big win with the passage of the inflation reduction act, house majority leader, is saying that they will return friday to hold a vote on what's coming out of the senate. the landmark piece of legislation to the presidents desk. joining me now is democratic congressman from wisconsin. congress men, thanks for joining. us we appreciated. any hiccups that you foresee when it comes to the passage of this legislation in the house when you come back to d.c. to vote on it on friday? >> thanks for having me. let me say this, this is a big deal. this is much of what we tried to get done last fall, it's back on our agenda. it's focused on trying to reduce costs for the american people, it's putting people over politics. when you're watching the republicans play politics in the senate, they voted to help

strip apart that that doesn't allow us to count insulin for the american people. this bill will reduce costs for people, energy costs, health care costs, as well as address things like climate change and other important main matters. we are very excited to have the bill up to get it done on friday. it looks like, as we're gonna take this up in the house, or waiting for the senate to finish their vote-a-rama. you can see this have a strong support from democrats coming into the vote. >> when you take a look at the legislation putting climate, taxes, health care as well, wet part of this legislation do you think is going to have the most impact on the folks that you're representing? >> the most direct impact will be people saving money. we have global inflation. people in the united states will be able to save money, things like energy costs and health care. the provision to allow us to be able to negotiate for prescription drugs through medicare is a huge saving, tapping how much out of pocket

seniors are gonna pay. we'll have a real immediate effect on a lot of seniors. it's something we've tried to get done for a long time. we're glad it's in here. but also, climate change. i mean, finally we're looking at doing major efforts that not only are gonna create jobs but reduce our emissions by 40% by 2030. that is a huge deal. there's a lot of good in this bill for everyone. it is being paid for by the wealthiest in this country. people used to avoid paying taxes people who had interesting ways that they paid taxes, which is way less than most of my constituents. so i think this is an important piece of legislation. republicans who vote against this to help stem the effects of inflation are really gonna have something to answer for back home. >> how do you turn this into vote? come november? >> the fact that we can now show that we are going to reduce the cost of prescription drugs especially for seniors and medicare. the fact that we can reduce peoples energy costs. the fact that we continue what

we passed earlier in the rescue plan, the rescue act it allowed people to be able to save money and have access to health care. those are all things that people will feel very quickly and i think those are real benefits for the average person who's just gonna get by every day. inflation worldwide has been tough, but if we have some ways to address the united states took this bill, at least we're trying to do something. >> you mentioned this earlier, you talk specifically about the cap on prescription drugs as well. i want to get your reaction here to republican senators killing this 35-dollar cap on insulin. just seven republicans that amendment, what do you think of it? >> ron johnson voted for big pharma over his constituents, like many republicans. did look, it was almost 100 years ago that insulin was first patented. it was done in sold for $1 to each of the three people who had it. they wanted to have it out there for the american people to have. here we, are almost 100 years later, paying insane fields for

a lot of people that have to have to survive. it was the right thing to try to cap, it unfortunately the majority of republicans, including senator ron johnson from wisconsin, sided from big pharma rather than their constituents. >> we thank, you will watch washington i'm sure as you are -- we thank you. we're gonna continue to follow the breaking news on the hill throughout the next couple hours, bring you any news as it happens. plus, this. >> the chinese hacked the machines. there were all kinds of discrepancies. all kinds of things. >> talking to the trump faithful at cpac, the comedy duo, the good liars, they join me. ahead first, airstrikes between israel and gaza continuing as the death toll is climbing. don't go anywhere, we'll be right back. righbat ck or high blood pressure

(soft music) right now, in cincinnati, nine people are receiving medical treatment. police investigation underway after the nicest latest mass shooting. that happened outside a bar in downtown cincinnati earlier this morning. the suspect left the scene after exchanging gunfire with police who were responding. the police also said two people were shot in separate incidences in cincinnati's business district. it's not known of the two shootings are related.

the injuries have the shots are not life-threatening. city of albuquerque is investigating three separate killings that have occurred over the last two weeks. police say maybe connected. all three victims are muslim men and each were found dead from gunshot wounds. police did not offer a specific information about the connections between the homicides. they believe albuquerque's muslim community is being deliberately targeted. the fbi is now taking part in the investigation. we want you to take a listen to what was a one muslim leader is saying. >> this is a troubling time for all of us. the message of hope still resonates. we need to capture this perpetrator or perpetrators. it is the thing that we need to do to safeguard the reputation of our community and our state. we are wonderful state a warm and loving state. it has wonderful cultures traditions and people.

this is not the new mexico i grew up in, love and cherish. so to that end hate will not win, evil not in we will defeat evil and hate together. >> from there, we go to the middle east. where for a third straight day it is -- israeli forces and islamic militants are trading fire in the gaza strip. the death toll is climbing. rocket explosions reported on the outskirts of jerusalem, just this morning israel said they killed a second militant youth leader since the start of the military offensive. the violence has killed 20 and gaza, and wounded hudson's more according to the gaza health ministry. let's bring in nbc,'s matt bradley, to talk about it in london. matt, talk us through this. take us back to a few days ago and how it started. >> it all started back on friday, when the israeli government announced that they were going to launch what was a preeminent attack to what they said was going to avert an

attack, an imminent attack, by palestinian islamic jihad. it's an iran-backed group that is active. they are not ruling, but they're very active in the gaza strip. it is actually dominated by arrival militant group called hamas. palestinian al-islah mick jihad responded with hundreds of rockets over friday night, as israel continued to pummel the gaza strip all weekend long. now we've seen the death toll actually rise up to 36 with 311 people injured. that is the latest from the gaza health authority. here is our report. s our report the gaza strip teeters on the edge of all outpour's. an exchange of missiles between israel and the palestinian islamic jihad group escalate. it is the worst fighting the gaza strip has seen in more than a year. the israeli military is claiming some deaths will due to a misfired rocket from gaza,

an incident palestinian officials say killed six people. there was two dozen palestinians killed so far, among them the entire islamic jihadi mission of israel's military. in a five-year-old girl. the youngest victim gathered in gaza cities more yesterday. what has she done wrong? this innocent child? she was preparing for kindergarten, her grandfather said. israel started the fighting with a barrage of missiles it said it was meant to preempt an imminent palestinian attack. palestinian islamic jihad responded by firing at least 100 rockets into israel overnight, most of which is real intercepted according to its defense ministry. only two israelis suffered minor injuries. both sides appear to be digging in for a longer fight. worsening conflict for civilians that fought on a desperate and private gaza strip. aaccording to the bcc another news intricacies, the adoptions are very close to having inked

some kind of truce between palestinian islamic jihad and israel. but that seems like we're still waiting to see both parties signing on the dotted line. but if this does come into effect tonight which is what we're feeling a lot about that this could be within hours we could be averting the worst which is what has happened in gaza over the last 15 years. every couple of, years as you've seen, yasmin, just weeks and weeks of bombardments of rockets escalating death tolls into the thousands. that is the kind of confrontation both sides are trying to avoid. egypt and other international leaders are trying to avoid it too. yasmin? >> thank, you matt. good to talk to you. we are monitoring the senate as it is nearing a passage of its climate health care and tax legislation. now with a potential hitch as senator sinema is expected to support an amendment from republican senator boone. update on that coming up next.

to businesses, making it more than a billion dollars in annual profits. we are watching it all we're gonna bring you the updates as it happens. political and economic fallout continuing in indiana, after a total abortion ban was signed into law. the pharmaceutical giant one of the states largest employers, warns the new law could keep perspective employees away. company goes on to say they will look elsewhere for expansion plans. the indianapolis chamber of congress expressed concerns over the impact on the state's tourism industry. indiana has some experience with this, losing $60 million of business after it passes the so-called religious freedom law in 2016 that legalized discrimination. it goes into effect on some timber 15th. north of indiana is where we find michigan, abortion rights are also center stage in that state's midterm elections. this week tutor dixon, who won the primary has been endorsed

by the world's largest antiabortion -- to protect abortion rights after roe was in fact overturned. one person who knows quite a bit about michigan politics and just how gnarly they can get, mallory mcmorrow, her speech went viral earlier this year after her republican colleague accused her of grooming and sexualizing children. she said hate only winds when people like her standby and let it happen. take a listen. i am the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme. i am a straight white christian married suburban mom, i want my daughter to know that she is loved, supported and seen for whoever she becomes. i want every child in this state to be seen, heard and supported, not marginalized and targeted because they're not straight, white and christian. senator mcmorris joining me now.

thank you so much for joining us on this sunday afternoon. we appreciate it. i think one of the big questions we have as we watched what took place in kansas is, are folks going to turn out like that for a candidate that supports abortion rights? versus just the issue of abortion rights i'm wondering as we take a look at your states, for instance, and the governor's race specifically. if you think what took place in kansas, what was on the ballot there, could it translate to votes in the governor's race for incumbent governor gretchen whitmer? >> absolutely. and i really appreciate the question. nobody has been a bigger champion on this issue then gretchen which more. who has filed a lawsuit against our state to compel our states supreme court to determine whether or not supreme is going to protect abortion here in michigan. the republican nominee is one

of the most extreme on this issue. she has said there is no exception for rape or incest. when poised with the question of a 14 year old incest victim. she said of course she she carry that baby. this is extremism. we are already seeing the fallout in neighboring indiana. what happened in kansas is going to happen here in michigan. but -- we have a ballot initiative that would grant access within our state constitution. that is what voters are looking at. it's the candidate, the issue, we are going at it on all fronts and michigan. i know that voters are gonna turnout. >> you mentioned your state supreme court. i think one of the issues we are looking at across the country is a lot of women, specifically, are confused about what the rules and laws are with them -- in their own specific state. you are supreme court blocked this enforcement of a 1931 abortion ban. what are the results of, kind of, this confusion across the board after the overturning of roe that you are seeing play

out in michigan? >> i do think that there is confusion. but more than anything there is clarity around the reality here in michigan. the reality is we have a 1931 law on the books that makes abortion a felony for no exception for age, rape, or felony. the courts have put a stay on that enforcement. at the end of the day are fundamental rights or hanging by a thread right now. when i talk to constituents they are painfully aware they are aware of this reality i talked to a woman who's concerned about having another ectopic pregnancy. she has already survived. one i spoke to a woman who is older who's having a high-risk pregnancy i know a woman having twins who -- there is a google form of oh bees in my community who attire tombs no questions asked. there are women who are terrified of this 1932 law goes into effect. >> quinn victims of criminal

sexual because i want to add a tweet that sides -- i want to add a law that creates severe penalties for a -- we will make michigan the toughest day in the country on child sex abusers. you are no stranger to the efforts by a lot of republican lawmakers to weaponize some of the social issues. how do democrats effectively fight back? >> we have to do exactly what i did a few months ago. show how ridiculous it is. i'm glad you brought up this example. this was our last long session day in michigan. we were there for 15 hours, like our federal colleagues all right now to pass the 79 billion dollar state budget. i took a recess, i want to the front capitol steps. tutor vixen was holding a press conference. it said on a placard, to dixon will protect your children. i had wanted her to announce something related to gun violence, under funding in schools, or water quality, instead she talked about wanting to introduce

legislation that would allow parents to sue us cool if there is a drag show at that school. not being able to cite a single example of when that has ever happened. here we are, trying to pass a budget for 10 million residents of the state. she's just introducing nonsense. it is just nonsense. it is a distraction that the democrats have to point out, loudly, to say very clearly that it is that dichotomy of we are trying to fix the economy. trying to get michiganders back to work, getting us out of the pandemic. and you are making up garbage issues! >> state senator, mallory mcmorrow of michigan. thank you very much, good to talk to you. coming up everybody! what we know about whether the doj will charge former president trump over january 6th. if so, the legal issues they might run into. and then a live look at the senate floor right now. they are folding on a amendment for democratic senator johnson may cause problems. we will watch to see what's happening next.

continue to follow the facts. i think the department of justice will do that. they have to make decisions about prosecution, understanding what it means if the subpoenaed evidence is there and they decide not to prosecute, how do we then call ourselves a nation of laws? >> january six committee co-chair liz cheney urging the doj to prosecute former president trump if they find evidence of tribes. cheney warning not doing so called a question whether the u.s. is elation of law or not. joining us now eva lowe and former u.s. attorney harry lippman. harry, let me to start with you. let me get your reaction from what we heard from the cheney there. essentially saying, listen, the department justice need to move forward the prosecution on this thing. or to look like we don't hold people to account, especially a former president. we are not a nation of laws if they do not do that.

what do you make of it? >> i fundamentally agree, yasmin, but i do not think she needs it as simply as she sounds. at the end of the day there is really no doubt anymore. the facts, the evidence, the law will be there to charge trump if he was any other person. he is not any other person. to the extent that we have any precedent in this country, the nixon case would stand the proposition that you do consider of what is in the best interest of the country. for that, it seems to be, i think this is the broader meaning of what she is saying, it comes even more strongly for prosecution. you have conduct here so corrosive of our democracy, violent towards political officials, unrepentant. he is out there still selling the big lie in making real problems in the country that, where we not to go after that, then we would look like we are not a nation of laws. so it is not simply, i think, that the facts and evidence are

there, though they certainly will be. but also, the nature of the conduct in his complete, continuing, kind of, damage to democracy. >> hugh, across the board we are hearing that it sounds like the department justice really started to pick up this investigation. former attorney general, eric homer, essentially saying he believes the former president will be charged by the doj, along with other former white house officials as well. what is your reporting telling you? >> look, we already have a public lens into what doj -- we do not have significant leaks from the doj likely do the january 6th committee but i think the evidence about the doj is doing so far quite interesting, right? recently we had great great grip and mark chore, the two top aides of the former vice president testify a federal grand jury about matters connected to january 6th. we recently learned about pats a pallone, the white house counsel is to testify before the grand jury. when you take those two things

together you get a picture of the doj that is looking and a penetrated deep into the inner circle of the former president. i think even if the justice department never ends of charging trump, or never opens a criminal investigation where the target is trump, that in and of itself i think is very significant. look back to our -- mayor garland the attorney general had said previously about the legal counsel whether he could open an investigation into trump i think that paints a picture of doj very aggressively looking at the former president. >> when you heard pat cipollone, former white house counsel was subpoenaed by the grand jury to testify, what did you make of it? where does this put the investigation in your eyes? >> when i made of a, and i don't forget pat settlement who is also there, is that trump is in the crosshairs. there is no other reason or explanation. there is really no doubt. you know that trump concluded

the same because they went rushing into doj to try to get them to hold off on privilege issues. -- if cipollone testifies. it remains to be seen, will he -- i think he will want a court order. i think they can get it pretty quickly. the law is very clear that there is no attorney client privilege at all in any executive privilege yields. trump where he could try to drag it out in fight tooth and nail maybe hope for a hail mary pass to the new conservative supreme court, if he does testify it is clear he is on the other side of all of these conversations with trump. they will have to be completely in terminating. >> harry lemon, thank you very much we appreciate. it everybody we've been watching some breaking news happening on capitol hill. keeping our eyes on that. of course the passage of this massive spending bill. i want to go back, as we see

this all play out. we talked a little bit earlier, julia, you are not shy about this hiccup. we are in the midst of this hiccup happening. this amended proposed by jonathan sun republican senator about some private equity firm is being exact from that corporate tax rate. we are now learning, senator sinema has in fact voted yes along with georgia senator jon ossoff as well. what more are you learning? what could this mean going forward? >> here's the big picture, yasmin, in simple english terms as i can describe it. sun's amendment will win. it will strip out this existing provision in the legislation of the minimum corporate tax that will in fact exempt certain businesses, small businesses, subsidiaries of private equity from qualifying for that one billion dollar number. long story short, this will be taken out of the bill. republicans, senator sinema got their way on that. what's different, what's going

on now is after this amendment that senator thune has brought up, senator warner is expected to introduce the substitute amendment, which will keep this provision out of the bill but it will change the pay force. you've got about 35 billion dollars of so that is currently not going to be part of the deficit reduction part of this bill because this is being taken out. what's democrats are now doing is changing the pay force. they are actually gonna do a two-year extension of what is called the two year limit on cap. so it's a two year limit that was in the american rescue plan. they're gonna extend it even further. if you're a law firm partner, you have to pay taxes individually and not with the business overall is subject to paying. that will now be extended up to 250,000 dollar cat which will in turn provide 50 billion or so extra dollars to the deficit reduction part of this bill. what does this mean? the stay on local income tax cap that menendez another northeast democrats were

unhappy with, essentially, as part of sun's amendment is not gonna happen anymore. they are gonna replace it with this other pay for. then they are going to move on to final passage. vice president harris is up here for. we should be smooth sailing. one democrat put it to me, i don't want to get your hopes up too much but we are trying to land the plane. we will talk about it after. >> well, well, exactly! let's not try to play in the plane when we are still at cruising altitude and we have not started to slow down. we have heard wheels down or anything like that. our seats are still a little reclined. [laughs] we will wait until we get that beep and then we will get ready to land, for now! >> exactly. >> julia we will keep our eyes on that. thank you. we will talk just a little bit. we have a lot more going on, everybody. as we are watching what takes place on capitol hill, the possible passage of this major spending bill for democrats. the vice president currently on the hill to break that vote, which could happen any moment now. we'll be right back.

what happened to manchin and sinema? what happened? i think if this deal passes they will both lose their next election. maybe this speech can stop him. because when manchin hears me say he's gonna lose west virginia, i will go down and campaign against him as hard as anybody. >> so you know who that was,

last night, at the cpac gathering in dallas, texas. predicting his speech might derail the inflation production act. and has yet to. trump is not the only one there. our friends traveled to texas to find out that they were among those shut out of the big event. >> we are outside of cpac in dallas, 2022. people are getting turned away. want to tell us about it? >> we were looking forward to seeing trump live, we actually paid. they told us we were not getting in. >> they sold you tickets -- it was already overcapacity. they took your money, thank you in there and you just got turned away? >> exactly. >> do you think it's an issue of the organizers of cpac getting greedy? >> it could be that. >> maybe! >> it may not be organized enough, not knowing that the capacity was. i'm not gonna sit and watch on the overflow room. >> they were in the overflow room, as well. the good liars of rob's tee,

flirtation solving, showing me now. hi guys! i feel like you guys should go to d.c. next and try to help them to figure out this process, i swear! i don't get why it has to be so complicated to pass legislation in this country! >> all right, we'll go there. we will tell them you said. that >> exactly! maybe you can help us figure it out. all right, talk to me. how is it you guys got shut out? i thought it would be a situation where you are recognized and not allowed in. turns out that is not what it was at all. you guys were just shut out along with everybody else because of it being oversold? >> we collected our passes, we noticed a big line forming. eventually realize that it wasn't moving. someone said the fire department have been calm because it was overcapacity. we found out a couple hundred, maybe more people that just could not get in. we were sold tickets and couldn't get in. turned away because they had

oversold the room so people were leaving angry. it was kind of funny. >> who were they blaming, rob? >> just people thought it was a terrible way to run an event. one guy said if they can't get a handle on these numbers, they probably should be trying to run elections. he was wearing a maga hat. i think they upset some people that are part of the base. it was just kind of interesting thing to see people -- coming from in certain cases pretty far away and leaving pretty upset. >> jason, we've been flying the sound over an over again in the lead up to you guys appearing on the show. the guy talking about the chinese hacked election conspiracy theory. let's play a little bit of that, and then on the other side i heard you had some words from or for the my pillow guy. we will talk about that after. let's watch this first. >> how did they hack the machines? how did the justice department found no evidence of it? >> no, no, that's not true.

>> today? >> it is still in front of the courts. >> what courts in specifically? >> it's been submitted to the supreme court. it hasn't been decided yet. >> why do you think trump's own children said -- >> no, >> well, ivanka. >> ivanka is separate. >> why do you mean? >> that is just her view. she didn't follow it. >> right? >> but his chief of staff said it. >> listen -- >> jason miller said it. they said the election wasn't stolen. do you think maybe there is a higher possibility that the election just wasn't stolen? >> no, it was. >> i mean, you know? makes sense. [laughs] jason? >> if you think probability -- yeah. >> it was interesting, presenting the facts of the statements that people have said, underworld, saying the election wasn't stolen. jason miller, ivanka, you say that no this is a fact. they said this under oath.

people still choose to believe whatever they want to believe. whatever, mike lindell tells them. yes, i did have a little bit of a run in with him. it started out very cordial. the up, there is a picture of us. not 20 seconds later he said i was an embarrassment to the country. which her because i have been following like for a really long time. i'm a fan of his work, his monologues. he can talk for a really long time without breathing it seems i. >> don't take it too hard. you are not an embarrassment to your country. >> thank you, i appreciate that. >> are you telling me, guys, that mike lindell recognize q2? >> now, no. we are gonna put a video out and you'll see. he was upset with me for something that i said. it was related to the election, loosely. and then he also accuse me of, i think -- something about my family

member that runs dominion or something like that. oh, that's interesting! i need to investigate this conspiracy theory. maybe do a 23andme and find out if that's really true. i might be inheriting a lot of money sir. >> if you've been seeing the new reporting on 23andme i don't think you should be doing a 23andme with what is happening. >> okay. >> probably not the best tactic to cake! i want to quickly talk about the exchange when it came to britney griner with some forks they're siding with russia. let's play that quickly. jason, i have to talk about it on the other side. >> i think they could keep her. >> really? >> yes, that's my personal opinion. >> why is that? >> she doesn't like america? she is disrespectful. so, you want us to bail you out? no, maybe you should appreciate living in the land of the free. maybe you should follow the rules. >> disrespecting, did you agree

with donald trump? he thinks that she is spoiled? >> yeah, very much so. >> not so much agreeing with donald trump, that is my own opinion. >> while, were you surprised by that, jason? >> yeah, i was. donald trump calling somebody spoiled is rich because you know he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. upset about the smallest things when he doesn't get his way. i thought it was kind of funny that she was taking donald trump side on the spoil debate. >> from a spoiled one or, it is hard to take that seriously. >> yeah, a little bizarre. >> jason selvig, to prom steve lure of the good liars. as always, great work guys. we appreciate it. >> breaking news everybody on the amendment proposed on gop senator jon soon. the amendment passed 37 to 43 to exempt some businesses owned by private equity from that 50% tax on businesses. how this is going to play out
