for more let's go to juanita tolliver, and tim miller, contributor to the bulwark and former communications, what is going on? what is your reaction that capitol police are now feeling that they have to have field offices to handle threats to lawmakers? >> chris, it shows the recognition in gaps of what we saw in the lead up to january six and an effort to rectify and show those gaps and make sure that intelligence is being not only spread through the organization but collected in a more efficient way that can have tangible impacts, before anything happens. more importantly, chris, i think we need that full exploration, that full understanding of other gaps need to be filled to prevent this from ever happening again. as well as still an understanding of what led up to january six. who was involved? who gave tours? what was said to trump? what was trump doing during the entire attack when he was silent? that's when we see the select committee coming in. i really appreciate benny thompson's statement today, that every option is owned table right now. there are going to get to the truth becaus

juanita tolliver is a democratic strategist. susan del percio is a republican strategist. few hours, former president trump will hold a rally in sarasota, florida. his most rabid supporters have been lining up for days. and as you see, thousands are there some three hours before the rally is scheduled to start. now it's his first appearance since his company and cfo were charged with running a 15-year tax scheme, and it's being held just a few hundred miles from the site of the horrific building collapse in surfside, florida, which according to "the washington examiner" angered republican governor ron desantis, although the governor now denies this. what political conditions is the former president in as he takes the stage tonight, susan? >> well, he is going to his people. so they are going to cheer and yell and hoot and holler, and my guess is we'll hear something about locking someone up, we'll hear enemies lists, and we'll hear a lot of witch hunts, but it will just be a rehashing of everything else he said. the only thing that may make a little news is that he'll resp

for more, we are so happy to welcome back tonight juanita tolliver, veteran political strategist to causesand one michael steele, former lieutenant governor of the great state of maryland and host of the michael steele podcast. so juanita, it is getting tough out there. my evidence, exhibit one. join me and listening to how our friend nicole wallace started her broadcast today. >> tragically and perhaps ironically, how he clinch the democratic nomination, president biden will now have the distinction of serving as president during one of the greatest rollbacks to access to the polls in recent american history. >> so, juanita, tough but fair. it gets worse, here is jeff green field talking about the democrats. they have a majority coalition, they control the white house, but the democrats are trapped in delusions of rewriting the rules why the gop figures out ways to bend them. and not to be outdone, steve schmidt today says that chuck schumer is not the leader. that these times demand. so how are democrats gonna deal with all of these pressures, juanita? >> look brian, democrats have to ge

so let's begin with -- let's start with juanita tolliver, she was a democratic strategist and susan delist. both are msnbc political analysts. let me start with you, juanita. i want to start with an under discussed facet of the voting rights struggle underway. right now gerrymandering, the redrawing of congressional districts so that politicians pick their voters instead of the other way around, new reporting by mother jones indicates that due to their control of the redistricting process in georgia, florida, and north carolina, as well as texas, i might add, republicans could retake those house seats by gerrymandering alone, without needing to persuade a single new voter. what can we do to stop this sub subversion of the democratic process? >> rev, the bill is already in congress. it's the for the people act. this bill, while we've all heard the key points around combatting voter suppression and preserving voting rights, it includes language such as prohibiting harmful gerrymandering and invalidating harmful maps and installing independent commissions to draw the maps across the countr

juanita tolliver is a democratic strategist. susan del percio is a republican strategist. nalysts. juanita, let me start. it's been nearly six months since former president donald trump left office and the tell-all books are starting to roll in. nbc news has obtained excerpts from "i alone can fix it" written by "washington post" reporters phil rucker and carol leonnig. listen to how they described the president's response to the january 6th storming of the capitol. at the white house, trump was back in his private dining room watching everything unfold on television. the president was riveted. his supporters had heeded his call to march on the capitol with, quote, pride and boldness. for trump, there was no more beautiful sight than thousands of energize people waving trump flags, wearing red maga caps and fighting to keep him in power. juanita, when you compared that with how the president behaved during the black lives matter protests during the summer of 2020, what does it tell you? >> it tells me that everything we knew about trump continues to track that he is this ty

. >> we will come back juanita tolliver and michael steele, former lieutenant governor of maryland and host of the michael steele podcast. good to see you both. juanita, nbc news has confirmed that chuck schumer and -- are headed to -- to talk about voting rights. can we talk a bit more progressive push on this and see that it and congress can indeed walk and chew gum at the same time? >> the fact that the senators already taking up revised voting legislation is a sign that those conversations have been happening behind closed doors, chris. i do expect a full effort from the white house to support the new revised legislation because, when every democrat needs to do right now is demonstrated every voter of 2020 that they are avoiding for their rights and democracy of this country at large -- fighting for their rights and democracy. it is congress's responsibility to act on this, i hope the white house steps up to the plate and backs it all away. the number one thing in my mind here is they are all of a sudden -- with the filibuster, what is the way to get this through to biden's desk? i

it will see eugene robinson, joan walls, juanita tolliver. up, what to expect in the trump org probe now that the indictments have hit. and how a mafia operation could become a potential factor. we also have to experts, cia director and kneeled the grass tyson on the governments ufo report. take a look. we're excited to have both these experts on tonight. heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about i

me ask a democrat but who's not a member of congress, let me bring in democratic strategist juanita tolliver. juanita, welcome to "the reidout." i would love to get your assessment of where things are. do you think speaker pelosi played this right by calling kevin mccarthy's bluff and saying hell to the no to jim jordan and jim banks? >> essentially, right, jonathan, she is doing what needs to do done by taking and holding her veto power to make sure that two people who not only further trump's lies but also help to spread lies and information about january 6th to keep them off of the select committee and from making that select committee a circus. as david said earlier, jim jordan is already deploying deflection and distraction tactics. that's all he would have done on the select committee but he would have brought in his obsession with groups like black lives matter or antifa into the fold. so what pelosi is saying is no, none of that here. not on my watch. what i think is also critical here is that while we know mccarthy has made every effort to obstruct this, right, he kept his caucus fr

perhaps there's a glimmer of hope for that. >> susan del percio, juanita tolliver, thank you both. on a sunday afternoon. >>> coming up, everybody, 4,500 tips and nothing to show for it. why the fbi failed to fully investigate claims including those of sexual misconduct against brett kavanaugh before he was confirmed to the supreme court. former federal prosecutor glenn kirschner joining me to weigh in on that and whether anything that can be done now to someone with a lifetime appointment. we will be right back. intment. we will be right back. being tired. what is even in this? clinically-studied plant based ingredients passion flower, valerian root, and hops. new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep. this is a gamechanger, who dares to be fearless even when her bladder leaks. our softest, smoothest fabric keeping her comfortable, protected, and undeniably sleek. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you.

. >>> let's bring in juanita tolliver, mbs political analyst. juanita, always good to see you. prioritizing this right now. >> look, alicia, i think he sees the monthly jobs reports and knows there are gaps for employees who are seeking to re-enter the workforce as well as consumers looking to spend money in this economy. and so i think this is a way for him to start to scratch the surface and undo some of the harms that 40 years of big mergers and acquisitions from corporations have presented to individuals and consumers. and so he's really putting this front and center because he does want to rebuild an economy better than it was before because we know a lot of these challenges existed well before the pandemic. i just think they have more impact now as we're rebuilding an economy after the pandemic or still during the pandemic. >> juanita a topic and i come back to over and over is this idea of the biden administration and biden himself needing to sell the accomplishments of the administration, actually getting out on the road talking with the american people about what this

for more, we are happy to welcome back tonight, juanita tolliver, and michael steele former chairman tenant governor of the state of maryland. so, juanita, it's getting tough out there. my evidence exhibit one, join me in listen willing to how our friend nicole wallace started the broadcast today. >> tragically and perhaps ironically based on how he clinched the democratic nomination, president joe biden will now forever hold the distinction of having served as president during one of the greatest roll-backs of access to the polls in recent american history. >> so, juanita, tough but fair, it get abouts worse. here is jeff greenfield talking about the democrats. they have a majority coalition, they control the white house but the democrats are trapped in delusions of re-writing the rules while the gop figures out ways to bend them. and not to be outdone, steve schmidt today said chuck schumer is not the leader these times demand. how are democrats going to deal with the pressures, juanita? >> democrats have to get it together and the clock is ticking for them to do that. and i definit

. >>> i want to bring in our panel, juanita tolliver, and noel nikpour. welcome to you both.y several. if he does not run, die san 'tis is at 68%, pompeo 5%, so on and so forth. donald trump junior is on there with 4%. what do you make of this, juanita, of this polls coming out of the cpac, one include trump, one not? >> since we know trump is such an ego-driven person, he's going to be asking himself how dare desantis get 68% if he doesn't run. that's what he'll fixate on. i continue him to continue to make statements to try to quell some of that energy, because he recognizes that desantis is a rising start within the gop. i also think that in reaction, trump will continue to feed into the same issues that we hear his base and c packs tannedees want more of. more of the big lie, more of the suppression bills passing across the country, including texas. more of hour trump will continue to leverage that to stir not only the energy that we're seeing from state legislatures where republicans are running the show, but also to stir the questions that his base should be asking abou

i'm joined by eugene washington, the nation's joan walsh and juanita tolliver.n, i'll go to you first. we've had the discussion before the president saying we're getting close to noon. he will tout the economic figures which are partly due to a more capable management on covid and partly due to good luck in terms of timing. and then he's saying, hey, he's ready to act as long as they don't spike the agenda in washington. >> you know, i won't even say that it is good luck. the luck comes from the fact that he got the american relief plan passed. he got into arms, as we say. kind of a cliche that i don't love. but now i say it so whatever. it is not luck. he's delivering. and he's asking for more. and the question is, when he asks for more, are even democrats going to say, well, we're in recovery so we're good. we don't need this. or are they going on realize, looking back at the history of 2009, 2010, we hit -- we put some money into the economy. it helped. it didn't do enough. then we stalled. so i am, i was very impressed by what he said today and i haven't alw

. >>> i'm joined by juanita tolliver.d to see you. >> i want to return to you to a theme that's important even if it's not exciting. we live in a world where we have been told everything should be exciting and entertaining at all times. as we showed there's some real nut and bolts on getting the jobs and spending bills done. schumer working with biden on this and the scale would be larger if they can get it done even though it hasn't come with a great deal of excitement or controversy yet. >> that's exactly right. let's be real, this infrastructure bipartisan negotiated deal did have a bit of drama. for everybody looking for some drama, there were moments where republicans were considering pulling out. right now everything is moving forward and everybody is looking for this legislative language that they can get their teeth into fully understanding what it will cover not only for the bipartisan deal but the budget reconciliation bill which we know not every democrat is on board with yet. i think schumer will push everythi

juanita tolliver and tim still with us. should the white house be feeling good tonight? bipartisan support which essentially means that the likelihood of this framework becoming formal legislative language is higher in probability because the more people you have signed on preliminarily, the more likely it is to be successful. absolutely the white house should be celebrating this moment. i think they also did make that signal, though, that they wanted this stand-alone bill separate and apart from any package that democrats are likely to pass along party lines. that is still some remnants of that conundrum they had a few weeks back when biden and pelosi backed him up saying this will be a two-bill package. it gives pelosi breathing room. she wants that. she welcomes that, especially recognizing that there were progressives in the democratic caucus who are hesitant about this. they want to make sure that that second package comes through and they definitely had hesitations about voting for this bipartisan deal alone on its own. >> and just today, mitch mcconnell said that
