it was described by everyone including been candidate and joseph biden, and vice president harris as the candidate as well. and yet we find began that when they are in power, that they are continuing. it doesn't change. it wasn't like racist under trump. and now suddenly because we have a different administration, it's turned into a flower. it's the same racist policy that it has been. and it's a policy that needs to end non adjusted. great talking to you. thank you for your time and for your at your expertise on this topic. thank you so much. on to other news in the us house committee investigating the capital riots in january have subpoenaed for key members of donald trump's administration. trump chief of staff meadows and former advisor steve bannon, are among those who will have to testify. they will be questioned about what happens at the white house. on the day of the riots, nearly 600 people have now been arrested in connection with the storming abuse capital. on january 6, while they have been told a warmer planet will also be more violent. one security implications of climat

well, i think joseph biden has the very long political career. and as you said, he's, he's more of a weather way, very politician than a conviction politician overall. he's a centrist democrats, from a state state of delaware. massive number of corporations are domiciled there and so on for tax purposes. i do use at the center of the party. but, you know, if you look at the opinion polls in the run up to 2020, the democratic primaries and so on. the people who oppose from one to 2 things, one they want to trump out on 2nd, they wanted someone who was a relatively mainstream, old white guy, politician who wouldn't shake things up too much on the one hand. but there's a lot of people who want to change and you know, a president biden combined some of those characteristics. and he's the sort of a lot of people wanted, after 4 years of, to march us politics. and i think that's what american people really voted for. and to some extent, the fact that he's inherited these crises and that he is 878. and that he may not necessarily have a 2nd term. i susp

the fringe is to stall the infrastructure bill that's been agreed on in the senate, president joseph biden could literally go 0 for 2. you stave off the big lie, you stave off an insurrection, you beat the most poisonous president in a generation only to have your own party leave you vulnerable? are you serious? we have a master democrat clinton strategist with us to handicap the outcomes here. and we have a real player on the democrat side to see how deep the trouble is. that's jamie raskin. now, he's also on the january 6th committee. and they got some more evidence to work with today. and this also feeds in to the outlined problem above of what biden is facing because there is now more proof that biden can't afford to have his own party enfighting when they have a real enemy on the other side. how real? enough to try to take down the democracy. bold statement backed by proof. tonight we have proof that people still in power on the right pushing the new big lie, which is about you got freedom, you don't have to take the vaccine just because it's good for you. they really did have a plan

this is a very difficult nut for joseph biden to crack. he has issues with his own party who are critical and attacking him for not being welcoming enough. and then a huge issue and becoming one that frankly enflames racists and division and us versus then and invasion and invaders and alien, you know, prototypes and stereotypes and within the republican party. look, the truth of the matter is that this is a humanitarian crisis. that this is tens of thousands of people fleeing political strife, fleeing poverty, fleeing political corruption. i think there is many questions to be asked as to what is happening in the southern border. i think -- i think we have not seen all the facts here. this is a -- this situation, i think, has many more layers to the onion than what we have seen as of yet. >> and, look, you can talk about issues at the border and clear problem with an influx of migrants, but replacement theory isn't even thinly veiled racism. you heard tucker carlson say, replace -- what is a legacy american? it rhymes with white, ana. so
