uk side of things, portugal is still the only country in the eu from the uk's green list with chris johnsonressure to provide some clarity over international travel rules? particularly amber list countries? it is interesting, the message from the eu seems to be come! but the message from the uk government is don't go! and don't go to amber countries is the official rule or advice from the government, the prime minister saying you shouldn't be going on holiday to countries that are on that particular list. however, we then had a couple of cabinet ministers saying, actually, maybe it would be ok if you went to an amber country, if it was to see friends orfamily, maybe it an amber country, if it was to see friends or family, maybe it would an amber country, if it was to see friends orfamily, maybe it would be ok to go on holiday if you thought having holidays was an essential thing to do. the problem is we are moving yet again from the world of very strict simple to follow rule, to a much more complicated system where people have to make their own personal decisions and people will have differ

worse johnson delayed acting on this for six weeks, six weeks after dominic cummings, chris whitty, they this second wave that is coming down the tracks very fast. in the prime minister simply refused. he is culpable for that, but part of that for a second at the same time, today was about politics, today was a bit of a ride, which is why you have got to be slightly tongue—in—cheek about everything he says, he is an angry man, he was fired, he was left from number ten and he was the prime ministers confidence, and he himself chronicled the historical collapse in their relationship that went on from the start of the pandemic to november, so march, november of last year, there political marriage simply collapsed into pieces. we have to remember that at the same time, look, ithink have to remember that at the same time, look, i think dominic cummings testimony will add something to this, but you have to refract it through that lens of these people are politicians, they have been throwing, you know, blood, mock, molten lava on each other for 20 years. he spent in westminster for 20 years, he

johnson in for ari melber. joining me now, former rnc chair michael steel and chris hill, former ambassador to south korea and iraq. shannon, i will begin with you. where was this prioritized in the meetings with world leaders for the biden administration? was this his foray into discussions with asian leaders or was this something that had already been planned from the moment he got into office? >> well, it certainly shows this president and this administration's focus on asia and southeast asia and underlying all of that china, of course. the first foreign leader visit he had was the japanese prime minister. this is the second foreign leader visit. and white house administration officials say make that mistake, that has to do with china. you heard the president mention that a bit, about securing the taiwan strait and trying to address some of the aggression that they are seeing from china. and, you know, the focus so much has been on the middle east. and you certainly heard the president talking about that. but this certainly is an attempt to get the focus back on asia and china where the president sees the bigg

jason johnson contributor for the greo and professor at morgan state university. jason, my friend, senator chris van hollen is obviously very sincere in what he was saying and that they have to get democrats and all the 50 democrats onboard to make sure we defend our democracy. here's my challenge. if you can't get -- susan collins put out her little amendment, if you cannot get ten republicans even to agree you should investigate the attempt to hang mike pence, decapitate our government and threaten even their own staffers to the point where their own staffers are saying i'm not sure these people care if i live or die. if they won't be on the side of capitol police, there is no bipartisanship. isn't this a dead argument? >> it's a dead argument. and i want people to understand also, joy, the context here for joe manchin and what this really may be about because he said he can't take the heat and he count want to destroy the government. joe manchin's not getting re-elected. okay, he's not. the guy got elected by 49% of the vote in 2018. he's not going to keep his job. he's going to get knocked o

chris christie is playing in all of this? guest: for him in the long game, he is excited to be a moderate member in leadership, and that is something that some conservatives like mike johnson and others have been expressing some moments about, we have replaced cheney, an anti-trumper, which someone who is too far to the left from their point of view. he is also talking about liz cheney and her goal. a lot of people are trying to analyze what is her game here. certainly she has the moral conviction that lying about the election is undermining democracy. but is there also political calculation? if so, it is not the short-term. it could be long-term. one of my colleagues after if she would consider running for president. she was coy. i don't think she will necessarily, but that is being raised, if everything goes south for trump, trump facing convictions, will cheney be there to pick up the pieces and put the party on a different path? host: this is from fox news that broke over the weekend, saying elise stefanik could be a one term gop conference chair. what is the strategy behind that? guest: it is interesting, that position, the washington post did a great piece over the w

johnson's tantrum about not getting his amendments more moot. but there wasn't that much expensed. but was there at this point a possible vote? >> i don't think so, chris. six republicans voted in favor of this just yesterday. i was asking some, like, rob portman, i was pressing him and pat toomey as to whether they would vote yes and neither said i think there were a number of republican senators who were genuinely on the fence but not close to ten. mcconnell had this in his hand the whole time. he had pressured his members to vote against this. he had made the case in private, you know, to his members behind closed doors. this would be bad politics for the republicans. this is me talking, not him. it's an unfortunately fact that it was supporters of donald trump who ransacked that capitol and put their lives in danger. they don't want to talk about that. to quote lisa murkowski, this is a short-term political calculation. if anyone has standing to talk about short-term political calculations, it's her. she's up for re-election next year. in her mind, that is not worth putting ahead of the need for an independent commission so the country can have a c

chris? prof. bracey: i do. and you have roswell, who was dred scott's lawyer. and the superstar montgomery blair to argue before the supreme court. representing the sanford's, you have grier and liberty johnson and also from maryland. and you have a running mate with him. you have the makings of an interesting case that is going to be argued before the court. ms. swain: how did dred scott find these superstar attorneys to represent him? prof. bracey: you have the family providing support to him. ms. swain: the original owners. the descendents, the children of peter and elizabeth taylor blow are now abolitionists. charlotte has married and editor of an abolitionist newspaper. one of the sons becomes a u.s. congressman, the other daughter marries a u.s. senator. they get together and provide the financial security to support the litigation. another connection i have not fully validated, montgomery blair has a brother in missouri. frank blair is a conservative unionist. it is possible that there is some connection there, as well, which would explain why montgomery blair gets involved. and as you know, benjamin curtis' brother joins the litigation team on behalf of dred scott for the second roun

chris. the senate went late yesterday after attempting to pass a china competitiveness bill, and there was one wrench after another that was thrown into it, finally by ron johnson. the senate stayed in session and adjourned before 3:00 p.m. it came back at 9:00 a.m. they decided to push it back and vote on the january 6th bill. 11 of them ented up missing the vote, and it got 54 votes, sort of the 60 needed to break a filibuster. i had never seen the disillusionment. and joe man chin, a proponent of bipartisanship. that is a cool to promote cooperation. >> and mcconnell. that they are part of the it, and not getting his amendments, is moot and beside the point of what the outcome was going to be. there wasn't that much suspense but was there a possible ten vote? >> i don't think so, chris. i could never count to ten votes. it sus prur iz to me that six republicans voted, and yesterday, i was asking some -- rob portman, i was pressing whether they would vote yes, and nets of them said -- there were a couple that were on the fence, and mc-- if anyone has standing to talk about short term calculations, it's her. she is up for re-election next year, and that is not

chris beyrer, do you think that goal is reachable by july 4? guest: it's absolutely reachable , given as the president said, we now have sufficient supplies. we are back using the johnsonohnson, a single-dose vaccine. people are fully protected two weeks after that single-dose, adding to the three vaccines that we have, supply of pfizer and moderna, sufficient to achieve the goal. the question really is are people going to be willing to step up and get immunized? that's the hard part. vaccine hesitancy is real and is variable. it's not the same across communities or the country. some of it is grounded in divisive politics. some of it is coming from people's concerns about the side effects. and there are very legitimate concerns, for example, after the pause of j&j, we have seen a decline in immunizations and we haven't bounced back to the level from before the pause that was in response to the rare but nevertheless real small number of people immunized with j&j who were found to have blood clots and bleeding. that rate is about two per million and the fda made the decision, as did the cdc, that the risks were far outweighed by the benefits and we have gone back to usin
