talk about what some democrats want. let's look at the summitng democrats support. a mandate from washington d.c. to double the minimum wage. nothing to do with coronavirus. that would make things worse. congressional budget office took a look at this and said what was the impact be on the economy? 1.4 million people who have jobs right now would lose their jobs if the federal government came in with a mandate to double the minimum wage. it's not a stimulus according to one report, the new mandate would also raise the cost of childcare by about 1%. how will that work for hard-working families trying to get back to work with coronavirus and need daycare for their children? with schools closed in so many locations across the country, that's the last thing working families need. an increase in the costs providing care for their children. the big spending bill includes $3,150,000,000,000 bailout for state and local governments. money is especially targeted to states have stayed closed the longest. this is money rewarding big cities and states like california and illinoi

the team accusing democrats of tw

the democrats have the majority. and it's hard to imagine any -- many, if not any, democrats not voting yes on this. but what i was referring to was steny hoyer, after that moment, he said something along the lines of, we're doing our jobs for you. and that's an important thing, as we're watching this vote, to underscore. is that traditionally, this kind of thing, deciding which members get on which committees, is done by their party leadership. kevin mccarthy is the republican leader. he declined to deal with this. despite a lot of pressure to take her off of committees specifically the education committee. and that is why the democrats say that they are, in hoyer's words, doing their job for them. i don't expect, according to republicans i have spoken to, even many who are very, very angry about marjorie taylor greene, don't want her on those committees, i don't expect more than a handful of republicans to break ranks because they're listening to the process arguments about the fact it should have been the republic

the disagreement over the democrat proposal does not mean republican's are not willing to work with democrats on covid relief. mr. president democrats move to ura purely partisan pathway on covid legislation is troubling but what is more disturbing is t the noise democrats are making about gutting the bird world, the bird world is made for and introduced by democrat senator robert byrd of west virginia was adopted to prevent abuse of the budget reconciliation process and protect the rights of the minority in the senate. it limits a proposal that can be considered under budgetat reconciliation so the majority party in the senate cannot use the budget reconciliation process to push through any legislation it wants with a bare majority vote. mr. president some democrats are suggesting doing away with the bird rule around getting away with a filibuster, that is a big problem. preserving minority rights was a priority for the founders, they knew and democratic forms of government majorities could easily trample the rights of the minority. and they were determined to put in place a system of checks

but more importantly, democrat governors and democrat mayors throughout the summer, they can back met because i made personal phone calls to them every time that there was not only violence there, the president was swift to call and say we want to offer help, but he offered help on this particular day, more than 48 hours before. i can tell you, when i got the phone call -- i didn't ever get a phone call from speaker pelosi, but from mayor bowser, the answer was immediate and yes, and that is what we focused on, and so again, another false narrative by some of the democrat house managers to suggest anything other than a very deliberate and quick action on the part of president trump. >> sean: if there's any republicans now that are not going to apply the same standards to people that we played tape of, using insurrectionist language, their definition of it, anyway, i have no use for them. i'm not even a registered republican. john thune, we'll consider -- are you going to consider center of kamala harris and joe biden and chuck schumer threatening supreme court justices? we've got 30

i hate to label democrat and republican, but i hear the republicans constantly talk about the democrats and the socialist programs of the democrats. but the thing is, if you look back to every democratic president that we have had, this country has benefited, and everyone in this country has benefited when we headed democratic president. every time we get a republican in the house, we go through an upset. you can take it back to ronald reagan, you know. you can take it back to this cloud that we recently had an office. -- this clown that we recently had an office. we would not be on lockdown in this pandemic if it was not for his ignorance. let's be real. the bible says, "my people perish for lack of knowledge." the knowledge is out there, but there are many people who don't want to face the truth. we all look at the video. we all saw what the former president had done, but yet they keep clinging to this -- i don't know what you call it -- this full splay, you know, when we all know what the truth is. so, you know, i would just say if we would just follow the truth, we would be a better

the democrats know what republicans did in 2009, the last time democrats had control of the house and the senate and the white house. they say, we are not playing those reindeer games again. we learned that lesson. the country definitely and desperately needs relief. we're not going to interfere with that. we're not going to step that down and give the country less of what they need in order to keep you happy, when you're not negotiating in good faith anyway. we've seen you do this before. we're not doing it again. democrats are all on the same page. republicans today are still trying it. they want to try this one neat trick, once again. ten republican senators, led by susan collins, have proposed a covid relief bill that is very, very small, quite undersized, given the state the economy is in right now, for the state the battle against coronavirus is in right now. what they're proposing is less than a third of what president biden has proposed as what the country needs. and again, the reason for proposing this tiny, little bill, is the same argument they made with the last time democ

my question is when the democrats going to follow suit? when will the media mob correct so many stories they all got wrong? here is my prediction. down there will freeze over ctfirst. don't hold your breath. they are feigning their pony outrage as usual and playacting. this is the most important story of our time. it's not. congresswoman greene,s she hast set the agenda for the republican party. the way the radical squad led by the real speaker of the house, congresswoman o garcia cortez does for the democratic party. you people know congresswoman. i don't know a conservative or a republican that supports or condones those past beliefs that she disavowed today. thend real story here is that democrats have now opened the floodgates with alarming new precedent. apparently voters at elections, they no longer matter to them. according to those who voted to remove congresswoman greene from committees, a standard that doesn't believe apply to themselves, those who voted for her by a whopping 70% of the boat don't matter to the people who voted t

democratic governors are messing it up in state after state. this charade only serves the democratic party, their own obsessive-compulsive need to impeach donald trump, and avenge the results of 2016. they never got over it. they never will get over it. take a look. >> that could be seen as an impeachable of fence impeachable offense. >> impeachment. impeachment. >> impeachable offense. >> impeachment.. >> grounds for impeachment. >> impeachable. >> impeachable offense. >> we are going to impeach the [bleep] -- >> if that's not impeachable i do not know what is. >> talk of impeachment. >> none of us came to impeach a president but now we've got to do our duty. >> make no mistake, that's the short version. what's happening in the senate, we will call it sewer swamp theater. it's complete with hysteria, hyperbole and rank hypocrisy.rs the democrats conducted the snap impeachment in the house without taking time to build a case, allow for due process, defense, or even a rudimentary investigation. they are now short on something called "facts." thi

i used to be a democrat and i am ashamed at what the democrats did.ot a single one could say yes, this is first amendment. thank you. host: on some of steve's points it was noticed -- this was made by the attorneys for the former president -- the protest during the summer is irrelevant, says lee. there was no interruption of the peaceful transfer of power. nobody attempted a coup. he says when an attempted coup of the government is not grounds for impeachment than the impeachment clause has no meaning. all the votes yesterday, ryan points this out to some history of impeachment votes, senator susan collins of maine is the only senator in history devoted to acquit a member of the opposite party, then president clinton, and convict a member of her own party, president trump. part of the seven who voted along with democrats. one of the house managers from colorado in his closing arguments appealed to the senators' sense of history [video clip] .

for being democrats. democrats are saying, listen, do what you did with steve king. strip her of her committee assignments or i guess we will have to do it for you. democrats have been incensed that they put greene on the education committee. put her on the education committee. house republicans haven't been able to bring themselves to use the steve king playbook. maybe it efs the supportive phone calls greene claimed to have received from donald trump. but kevin mccarthy after meeting with her yesterday in which she was not at all contrite. he put out a statement that did not announce any action on congresswoman greene and attacked democrats for their criticism of her. tonight the house rules committee approved a resolution to strip greene of her committee assignments. the same punishment that befell steve king. the full house will vote on it tomorrow meaning all house republicans will be forced to go on the record to support marjorie taylor greene or not. voting to go on the whether as to whether you can serve as a republican member of congress after calling for th

we beat 15 democrats and do you know who the 15 democrats lost to?onservative women and conservative minorities, each and every one of them. [applause] and what happened even when , president trump was sick with covid, he called me from the hospital and said, kevin, we have to keep doing this, because we could not do the rallies. he would do these rallies over the phone for each district and he had the candidate on and he would talk and it would turn out the vote. that was the shock. all the polls said we would lose. but election day, the voters said this is a new path. matt: awesome. i have to say, these two gentlemen probably won't like me saying it, but i say it on a regular basis because it puts you on the spot, but i think we have a great chance of getting the majority back. minority leader mccarthy: not a chance we are going to get the majority back. we are five seats away. [applause] i would bet my house. don't tell my wife. i would bet it. listen do you want to retire , nancy pelosi? do you want to end this socialism in this country? win the

this is the thing about the democratic party. democrats don't care about results.care more about intention. their intention is always good. because trump's makes them feele a different action than trump. even if their actions harm the very people they say they are intend to go help. but they don't care because it's all about them. their fragile egos, not other people. how many times in the last four years did you hear democrats try to act hike tough guys on russia and call trump a patsy. >> the increased russian threat. >> russia's continued malign efforts in cyberspace and disinformation. >> it looks like he's rinsing to putin more than american intelligence. jesse: you would think after joe biden was elected he would knock putin into the upper deck. but that's not happening at all. putin has gotten away with more in four weeks with biden than he did with four years of trump. he's constructing a pipeline that's goes directly into germany. once it's finished russia can control europe's energy politics. them could almost own our allies. construction of this pipeline

priorities that could come back to bite democrats in the long run.r the next two weeks, we're going to be treated to the big theater of impeachment. some democrats are concerned and think it's maybe not the way to go in terms of establishing bipartisanship in terms of trying to convict the former president, especially a trial that we know is almost certain to end in his acquittal. how to you expect, just briefly, how do you think this trial that we're going to see in the senate the next couple of weeks, how is that going to impact the way in which our political scene is going to operate over the next few? >> one name you don't hear a whole lott from the biden administration is the name of the former president, donald trump. they don't want to be involved. they want to be engaged in what's going to be a big partisan fight in the trial coming up this month. so, you know, i think it's sort of a wash politically. we know where most senators stand. it's going to be very anti-climactic. maybe you get five republican senators, at most, who vote for convicti

well that's a very significant move by the democrats in particular because the democrats want to make clear here that they do not tolerate if congress people are in such important positions in such important assignments so they want to make clear they don't accept this and make a signal also so it's a symbolic move but it's also a move for the records because it essentially scholz very well where each individual republican congress person stance so who supports her and who doesn't and that became very clear in this vote here ok and further the significance of this particular vote as much as we would normally expect the republican party to do with membership with members on their committees but the democrats took this out of their hands yeah that's exactly right and and again i mean we have this divided party right now that we're looking at and of course the democrats took it out of their hands this is unprecedented so there has been some criticism also by the republican party they are afraid of course that this could be turned into a political weapon to remove any kind of. person that

i used to be a democrat. the democratic party has lost their way. they support things that are not biblical. they support abortion. they support the homosexual lifestyle. they do not stand up for israel. israel gave $150 million to iran. thank the lord that trump got that money back. joe biden used to be -- stand up for pro-life. the democrats have said the same thing on the campaign trail, he would like to take trump behind the barn. vice president harris gave veil money to get antifa out. -- bail money. host: let's go to glenn in virginia. good morning. caller: i think a big problem we have in this country started years ago with an increasing amount of meanness in our mass media, the radio programs, the various different opportunities people have with the internet now to get news and information. when trump started calling the news media enemy of the people and cap hammering and hammering on that, the fourth estate has been losing a lot of its credibility. a lot of organizations are suffering in the eyes of the public as far as what's real and wha

david: heidi, you were the last standing democrat in a state that used to elect democrats all the time. it has now become quite a red state. in the position you were in, you, like well, there was an incentive to be someone who reaches across the aisle, someone who tries to find common ground and so on. you did that. both of you had high scores for bipartisanship and yet you lost, so what lesson did you derive from that? not to set you up all the time to be captain bring down here. [laughter] david: -- sen. heitkamp: yeah, why did you lose? if you were so good at what you did, why did people reject you? when i ran in 2012, we had a long history of being a republican state but republicans were willing to cross the aisle and vote for democrats because they did a good job or because they demonstrated an ability to get things done and so when i won in 2012, we expected 20% of the democrat or leaning republicans would cross over and vote for me and they did. i outperformed barack obama by about 22 points. when i ran in 2018, when we talk about tribalism and this being the party of trump, whe

la heard for the democrats. none of them were who they said they were reason my problem comes when i listen to people. i like you the truth. i have watched for any years. i am in my 70s. i know what goes on. because i have been a democrat in a republic and now i am in independent. and to be honest, what i see are nothing but this trial has become an out right joke to the american people. it is. and out right joke to hear people life. lying to the american people. i do not have to tell you who we are talking about because we all know. i like listening to the truth. i like the justice and the american way. >> can you think you heard that from the attorneys representing donald trump. >> what i heard from them, is that i have personally watched the last four years and i understand where the president trump's attorneys have come from. they have spoken. they have spoken the truth and the other side, has spoken the lies. which is typical of that particular section of people. >> welcome to the democrats on . guest: than

the democrats, the rules don't apply to them. law professor alan dershowitz joins us along with katie pavlich. professor, let's start with you. i think two or three hours, a few videos, the constitution, your analysis will be a good start followed by the facts that it was determined it was preplanned followed by donald trump is guilty of inciting insurrection, so are all of you people. >> well, i don't understand. hillary clinton is a very good lawyer. what she says to the republican senators, he's as guilty, you're as guilty as he is. they're listening and say oh, you mean we're -- he's as innocent as we are. they think they're innocent so if she's making comparisons between the senators and trump, that's very ineffective advocacy. she's actually advocating for the senators to vote to acquit him. the evidence is overwhelming. the president made a statement, a speech which was so within the perimeters of our first inamendment in brandenburg, not withstanding the fact that 144 scholars have said it would be unethical, unethical to

so if were democrats, and this is what democrats keep telling me why should we wait, why should we wait? but republicans, especially senate republicans say there's a narrow window for bipartisanship. this is going to set the tone for the next two years. so let's do this together. and remember, lisa, you know this. the last five covid relief bills were all bipartisan. lisa: yeah. jake: so this h been a bipartisan issue. but there are just some hurdles that you can't clear. republicans are not going to go for the state and local funding that democrats want. they're not going to go for $1.9 trillion. biden can't go below $1 trillion. so i just think there's not -- the venn diagram doesn't really work out here. lisa: congress is terrible at math and venn diagrams as you just pointed out. alexi, can you wrap this up? we started talking about the republican divide. democrats obviously much easier to be united when you're in power, however, they -- last night, in the vote-a-rama we saw divisions democrats breaking on fracking and even the minimum wage, undocumented immigrants. can you talk abo

democrats are not interested in that. they don't want her serving on any committee and pushing forward so mccarthy essentially put his hands up in the air and said i won't do anything about it and it's also important to point out, anderson, in the statement that you read from kevin mccarthy, you'll note that he never says that marjorie taylor greene apologized for the past statements that she's made about some of these wacky conspiracy theories. he says she recognized what she said and how it could be a problem, but she never apologized and we're told that is actually what happened, that she never volunteered to apologize for the comments that she had made, which had been a specific request of democrats who had any hope of whether or not she would stay on these committees. so it's pretty clear, there may be a reckoning with liz cheney tonight but marjorie taylor greene, republicans aren't interested in doing anything to hold her accountable. >> just incredible. liz cheney is a conservative and, you know, outspoken in this

that's the democratic party. yes, they have a lot of fringe conspiracy theorists and agitators except they are not little-known in their party, they are literally running the whole show for the democratic party.nd they set the agenda and they have all the power. so democrats want to purge taylor green from committees? this same standard must be applied to them. right? out of fundamental fairness. l for example, let's start with congresswoman omar. she floated that theory that evil jews hypnotized of the world? she said that the council on islamic relations was founded because some people killed del mike did something you mean kill 3,000 americans? and congresswoman omar used an anti-semitic trope, it's all about the benjamins baby, or a member that line again, there you go. sure the same standards be applied to both sides? both congresswoman omar, fellow squad congressman to leave, they pal around with that woman, the tories anti-semite and anti-jewish conspiracy theorist linda sarsour. a talked a lot about her.

lips donald trump is acquitted of inciting last month's capitol hill brian. 7 republicans join the democrats in voting to convict it's not enough this trial survives his 2nd impeachment trial also coming up. germany closes its borders with austria and the czech republic after a surge in a highly contagious coronavirus variance only essential travel be allowed to speak to our correspondent who's at the border. i'm nick spicer welcome to the program donald trump has been acquitted of inciting last month's attack on the u.s. capitol as expected the vote in the american senate fell short of the 2 thirds majority needed to convict the former president however 7 republicans did vote to side with the democrats making it the most bipartisan impeachment verdict in american history. smiles all round donald trump the legal team revel in their client's acquittal we won guilty. it was always going to be an uphill battle for democrats they needed to convince at least 17 republican senators to cross the aisle. in the end though only 7 republicans voted to convict giving former president donald trump his 2n

then you have layer three, the allegations up bowling again by democrats, new york democrats assemblingabor for code just recently now the allegations of sexual misconduct by lindsay bowen. and this is an allegation that does not come from 40 years ago when cuomo was in high school but something that happened relatively recently. so as far as scandals go with a baseball term, this hits a cycle. because there is a d next to governor cuomo's name he gets a pass by the media and particularly cnn and the d means disregard, nothing to see here and that is a dereliction of duty, sean. this is a national -- >> sean: what amazes me, the eye believers. i believe, i believe, i believe. i didn't say i took the position that justice kavanaugh, he deserves the presumption of innocence and i'm taking the same position here. just because somebody says something, we don't have all the facts. i don't believe rushing to judgment. the democrats are the ones that use it when it's convenient as a political story, which should bother people. >> absolutely. every man should be given the presumption of the inn

democrats have no room for error if they want to pass it. it's democrats debating with democrats. major questions remain in snats where some rival factions in the democratic party are battling over how hard they want to push for an increase in the minimum wage as part of that covid relief bill. party leaders say chuck schumer is begging democrats to hang together on this one. >> he's begging all of us despite any differences with any one section of the bill that we language together in is the signature provision of the biden administration in terms of dealing with pandemic and the economy and we need to stick together. that's it. >> the senate's parliamentarian could decide today that it would violate the rules to raise the minimum wage in this legislation that have being fast tracked through a wonky budget reconciliation. the parliamentarian met with capitol hill staff today and did not get any indications of how she would rule. if democrats are told they cannot include a minimum wage increase then progressives are expected to pressure democrats to try to vote to override that ru

priorities that could come back to bite democrats in the long run.xt two weeks, we're going to be treated to the big theater of impeachment. some democrats are concerned and think it's maybe not the way to go in terms of establishing bipartisanship in terms of trying to convict the former president, especially a trial that we know is almost certain to end in his acquittal. how to you expect, just briefly, how do you think this trial that we're going to see in the senate the next couple of weeks, how is that going to impact the way in which our political scene is going to operate over the next few? >> one name you don't hear a whole lott from the biden administration is the name of the former president, donald trump. they don't want to be involved. they want to be engaged in what's going to be a big partisan fight in the trial coming up this month. so, you know, i think it's sort of a wash politically. we know where most senators stand. it's going to be very anti-climactic. maybe you get five republican senators, at most, who vote for conviction, but,

how much time could you spend praising the democrats? whole thing was a walk down memory lane about how much he loves the senate and this was like t

this would be crispo chosen by the democrats. both democrat and republican leaders of the 9/11 commission for speaking out against this is in conflict. the leaders of the 9/11 commission, one republican, one democrat speaking out against the way this proposal is crafted by the speaker. democrat vice chairman of the commission says that does not sound too many like a good start. sounds like a partisan beginning. tom kane, for hogan chairman pointed out should have representation, not as much confidence from the american people. along these lines, and b the undertaking needs to be fair, evenhanded. that shouldn't be controversial and it goes beyond the makeup of the panel. the speaker's proposal is more than an investigation into specific security failures heard here at the capitol. set the stage for broader inquiry and domestic violence extremism beyond just that day but the partisan panel wouldn't decide which are and are not relevant. political violence are important and unacceptable no matter what caused the mob. these are not

the democrats. first mid-term of most presidents, their party loses seats. mitch mcconnell believes he can get the majority back in 2022. he has calculated for all his disdain and disgust with donald trump, he knows the easier path back to power is hug him, embrace him. that's the decision he's making. >> i suspect president biden and his top aides, they're looking at all of this and saying they're not going to vote to convict, so move on, get it over with. we've got covid business, we've got cabinet confirmations in the senate we need to do. we've got to move on to our agenda. >> yes, but he's also the president of the country that is being divided again by this. so what's going to happen today? this closes one chapter. it closes the second impeachment trial, assuming they finish today. but then it reopens the question, lindsey graham says he's off to mar-a-lago. kevin mccarthy goes off to mar-a-lago. what is former president trump's next move? does he stay quiet? i wouldn't bet on that. so joe bid

and democrats.re a senate committee asking them to ask my vote for you, they have long memories. biden is not going to make others vote no on her. i get what he said but that's not going to happen. it's been when the track record for nominees in the administration doesn't get everybody through. they usually lose one or two even if they did that that would be the best record since ronald reagan. as far as nominees getting through. he is neera tanden the sacrificial lamb of the nominee set? >> whether she's the sacrificial lamb, she may not get enough votes and that the end of the day you can't be confirmed unless it's the case. i hope president biden focuses on the great work where he laid out the covid package was so important and acknowledged that walmart's raising the minimum wage and we should think about a better way to do it. that's the issue in a priority for the capital. that's why hope he expends to negotiate with republicans and moderate democrats know the issue as well. >> bret: potentiall

democrat.ost: ok. neil in-house springs, missouri. your thoughts? caller: my thoughts is mitch mcconnell is probably one of the most destructive people we've ever had in the senate. all of this really started with mitch mcconnell when obama was first elected saying how he is going to make him a one term president. from that time until now he has done nothing but get worse and worse. that man denied obama up right to put a supreme court judge. batman hurried up and rushed through the last one. all the other antics he had in between. i don't know why you people in the state of kentucky cannot see through this line of bs that he has spewed since he has been there. he's been in obstructionist, and created havoc. him and trump are two peas in a pod. noma, wants to backpedal and get away from it? i think it's too late. host: derek in randall's town, maryland. a democratic caller. caller: i agree with the previous caller. i have to say one thing about mitch. it took a lot of courage to stand up and sa
