this feels like a monument uppal week not just joe biden was sworn in but we feel we actually have a president for the first time in the entire pandemic. i think that once joe biden is able to at least put some of those things in place, i think some of this rhetoric can be ramped down but it's not going to be on the republican side. >> i got to say it was interesting talking to dr. anthony fauci earlier in the hour and different approach between the biden administration and trump association and how he felt navigating that. and let's listen to what house snort leader kevin mccarthy said on the january 6th attack on the capitol last week versus this week. here it is. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. >> they said former president trump and other important people provoked the folks to come to the capitol. do you believe former president trump provoked? >> i don't believe he pro folked if he listen to what he said at the rally. >> in so, okay, in an intervi
