that's really key, nicole. people just got to get the vaccines and boosters. >> if we have positives in any place or people queen, and we show the colleges where people are moving to remote, what is the step we take on the other side? should vaccinated people still have to quarantine for 10 days, test out of quarantine? what is the answer if we're heading into another phase where something more infectious that breaks through to vaccinated people is upon us? >> yeah. i mean, i think you heard the expression endemic, right? i think this coronavirus is so, so tricky. we've now clearly learned that it's not really going anywhere. we're going to have to find a way to live with it safely. we're going to need our schools and businesses, academic institutions, our entertainment industry, you mentioned broadway shutting down, you and i both live in new york and saw, i've been to several broadway shows this summer and fall safely, being fully vaccinated and masked but we're going to have to learn how to deal with upcomin

nicolle? >> john heilemann, as heidi just said, one of the sort of side gigs of helming this hour is managing the anxiety of the host and her viewers. you'll be helming some of these hours for me next week. there is an "atlantic" piece in august that i read four times, sent it to every parent i know. it was basically about mommies and daddies are broken. it was about sending our kids black to school in september amid the surging delta wave. and what i think kids, most importantly, can't take, and you see them, they're devastated. the u.s. surgeon general put out a warning, an alert about kids' mental health, a 55% increase in young girls going to the emergency room with mental health crises, 5% increase in young boys. we cannot go through this again. kids cannot stay home, john. >> yeah, and look, i mean, what dr. jha said, on the other side, i'm reading through the epidemiologists who are still trying to sort out what's going on with omicron and looking at some of the data coming out of south

it was, i think, a little bit surprising, nicolle. it sort of took my breath away because she sent not a message. she simply signalled that she expects that the january 6th committee will send a criminal referral on the former president of the united states to the justice department at the end of these proceedings. right now, we are talking about contempt charges with witnesses who are refusing to testify. liz cheney indicated she believes they will have evidence to make this referral asking d.o.j. to prosecute the former president. 1512 is an obstruction statute. charlottely, the evidence she is talking about might be suggestive of a conspiracy to interfere with the vote count, a conspiracy to interfere with the functioning of government. it looks like this committee is going to do the opposite of bob mueller did. you will remember that mueller, in his report, infamously said he was restricted, he couldn't bring charges against a sitting president. so he was writing a road map for congress. sounds like congress is going to return the

tell me how you see this. >> absolutely, nicolle. we are dealing with an incredibly uncertain situation. yes deaths have been slightly down. but yesterday there were almost 2,000 people in america that died of covid. you know, this is a classic case of, you know, half empty or half full glass. i don't think we can tell much where we are going to be two to four weeks from now. we have to wait and see. and omicron adds a whole new dimension to this with two new cases announced today. one of the cases, the person who lives in minnesota, had just attended a massive exhibition in new york city, where there were 53,000 people there. the other thing is, the guy in minnesota was fully vaccinated and had the booster shot. so we are going to see some breakthrough cases. we don't know a lot about the behavior of omicron, will it be more contagious? it might well be. will it be more deadly? we don't know yet. will it be resistant to the vaccines that are out there. they might be. that we will know some the next ten days or so when the laboratory

>> that's what i really don't know, nicolle. i mean, this has always been the odd wrinkle we have talked about over the last year. these are the people that are there to protect them. the only people they can't avoid seeing in the hallways when they come into the capitol had these folks who protect them on january 6th and after. and during their testimony, the questions, the ridicule that's been seen on line, the sort of going out of the way to make it not that big of a deal when it very clearly is, the video overwhelming. i think the challenge comes down to how you sense out what the law enforcement community feels and what their connection is. i would imagine for most law enforcement that saw what happened that day f they did see it, this was just a tragedy. and they can't be supportive of what they are hearing out of the lawmakers on capitol hill. secondly, there is a political element to some law enforcement in america meaning a lot of local law enforcement and sheriffs are elected. so they are playing party politics ads wel

"the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> hi, nicolle. i have to ask, i love what you just ran, and also shout out to yamiche, who we have worked with before and get to welcome back, which is great. but i love what you just played. how do you look at that when you say you have worked in a white house, there's healthy tension with the press. there's other times where you look at a reporter, and i bet even if it runs against some of what your political goal for the week was, you say, hey, they're doing their job, or they're good at this. do you ever look at it that way? because she is so clear and objective and strong in what she does. >> i mean, look, even the president i worked for would say that people have a hard time confronting a president. even staff walks in and they think, i'm going to give him a piece of my mind, and they walk in and it's -- even more so for a reporter covering the president of any party. it is structurally difficult. he's at a podium with a

>> i believe so, nicolle. and it's appropriate to charge the parens with four counts of involuntary manslaughter. one count for each child that died, as you said at the top of the show. involuntary manslaughter means unintentional killing. but they are still responsible because they acted in a guessly negligent way. and based on what the prosecutor said today in her news conference -- i watched it. she laid out some of the evidence, i am sure not all of the evidence that showed that the parents knew that the child had deep difficult problems that he was emotionally disturbed. as you said, access to a weapon. and so the means and the opportunity to do what he did. a tragedy resulted. you need to hold the child accountable. and he has been charged. you need to hold the parents accountable. they didn't do exactly what he did. but they had an opportunity to stop him. failing to do that, nicolle, i will is grossly negligent. and the basis for the involuntary manslaughter charge. another example would be a parent gi

>> it's what you are saying, nicolle. it is sort of a fatalism or a nilism as the other guest described this. saturday, right, it's christmas, i'm hanging out with friends, very small environment. when i was texting people to say merry christmas, the most common response i got was i am not with family, i am sick. i know seven people who have gotten covid in the last ten days. all are vaccinated and most of them are boosted. there is a sense out there right now, people are like, my goodness the same things i have been doing that kept me safe for a year and a half are no longer working. if the conversation moves to a place of if we are all going to get it, can we just make sure it is not fatal, i mean that way in a political way perhaps help what's being done now, but what concerns me, frankly, and the reason i am extra paranoid and vigilant about this and concerned about getting on planes is, as many doctors have said, we don't have longitudinal data on covid yet. we don't know how this affects you when you turn 50 and 60

meadows is a prolific texter, nicole. when he was up here on capitol hill, he was someone i used to text as often as i could because he generally knew what was going on, and he always wanted to talk about it, whether he knew or he didn't know. if they are looking at mark meadows's text messages, they are looking at realtime conversations from that day. so, i do put that in the good news category. but again, i don't think it's unreasonable to say that while they have gotten, according to congresswoman cheney, 300 interviews in the can, some of these big fish have continued to evade them, and i know there's real frustration about bannon, for example, that that trial won't even start until july. now, they were probably never going to get testimony from steve bannon, but the ability to threaten real consequences, committee members know is central to convincing other people who might want to protect legal careers or political careers that they are better off testifying than trying to wait out the clock. >> no, and i wasn't sug

hi, ari. >> thank you, nicolle. there's breaking news, jeffrey epstein's associate, ghislaine maxwell, found guilty of sex trafficking. plus, sharon stone on "the beat," tonight by the end of the hour. we begin with the mounting coronavirus. the united states has seen more cases this week than ever before. a record seven-day average now of 265,000 daily cases. the cdc is under fire for how it's announce this shorter isolation guidelines. it's down to five days. the cdc director is out talking to a lot of different folks, five networks and counting, to defend how they rolled this out. >> the most transmission happens in the first one to two days after you have symptoms, then the next five days after you have symptoms. >> they may very well not

nicole wallace. she happened to have been white house communications director for president george w. bush and a senior aide to john mccain's '08 effort. and eugene. good evening and welcome to you all. nicole, we're all business here as we start off tonight. so, here's the lead question for you. given your experience as white house communications director and an insider inside the west wing in an entirely different era, give us some idea of the scope and contents. what kind of qualms could have come out of a day like 1/6, written, dictated, electronic records -- what kinds of things, to put it another way, does trump not want the committee to see? >> well, i hate to say "in a normal white house" because any sentence that starts that way is usually revealed by one of the white house to have not happened in this white house. but white house records is automated by design. every email you send is bcc'd that is addressed to a record. so, anything that anyone wrote to anyone else or into anyone in the wh

>> i agree with you, nicolle. i think this is what happens when you allow the ends to justify the means. if a blue state is interested in doing things like making it illegal to possess weapons, they could do it for any constitutional right. a state could take away due process rights before they take away your property. they could make it illegal to speak out against the government. all of those things. even chief justice john roberts, who is no liberal, no fan of abortion rights wrote in his opinion last week that you can't look at the nature of the right involved, what you have to look at is the role of the supreme court. and we are allowing states to completely usurp the role to the courts. now you see gavin newsom doing that. more power to him. i think one of the problems with this supreme court is that they don't care about hypocrisy. i think if this case comes up on gun rights i think they will have no problem smacking it down on vigilanteism and finding a way to distinguish it from the sb-8 case. if one thin

nicole, we're all business here as we start off tonight. so here is the lead question for you. given your experience as white house communications director and insider inside the west wing and entirely different air, give us some idea of the scope and context, what kind of comes would've come out on a day like one six? written, dictated, electronic records? what kind of things to put in another way, does trump not want the committee to see? >> i hate to say, in a normal white house, because any sentence that starts that way is usually really revealed by phil record or one of the other journalists to have not happened in this white house. white house records is automated by design. every email that you sent is the seed to an address that is records at w. h. o. so, anything that anyone wrote to anyone else or into anyone in the white house, if it falls into the scope of what the committee had asked for it passed the test that the biden white house reviewed and said this is not going to be protected by executive privilege. that would be part of the switch of the first three launch

i'll talk to nicole hockley, who lost her son at sandy hook, for her reaction. we're also going to look at whether school administrators should be held responsible. >>> plus, pleading the fifth is becoming very popular among key trump allies. is there anything the january 6th committee can do to get the information they need from them? >>> more cases also of the omicron variant found in more states as the biden administration ramps up their fight against covid. >>> and the latest fallout from this week's major abortion hearing at the supreme court. i'll talk to a woman with a very personal family story illustrating what we could be heading for. >>> and next hour, i'll talk to former planned parenthood president cecile richards about where the abortion rights fight goes next. >>> we want to begin with that breaking news. a short time ago, the oakland county sheriff's office announcing they will hold a press conference at 4:00 p.m. eastern on the facts surrounding the arrests of james and jennifer crumbley, the parents of the teenager accused of killing four peopl

. >> hi, nicolle. i have to ask, i love what you just ran, and also shout out to yamiche, who we have worked with before and get to welcome back, which is great. but i love what you just played. how do you look at that when you say you have worked in a white house, there's healthy tension with the press. there's other times where you look at a reporter, and i bet even if it runs against some of what your political goal for the week was, you say, hey, they're doing their job, or they're good at this. do you ever look at it that way? because she is so clear and objective and strong in what she does. >> i mean, look, even the president i worked for would say that people have a hard time confronting a president. even staff walks in and they think, i'm going to give him a piece of my mind, and they walk in and it's -- even more so for a reporter covering the president of any party. it is structurally difficult. he's at a podium with a microphone. she's standing in the lawn, social distance, being sneered at

nicolle, we have the tools. the place we're at, we have to takeat advantage of the tools, e we going to be proactive? >> i commend new york state for taking the steps, because many of the places in the state where the national s guard have, don' have indoor mandates. haven't we learned that at this point? the same thing with boosters. we know boosters are needed with omicron, but only about a quarter of americans are boosted. we have the tools, but will we use them, is the question. >> we now have enough his 20ir. are we looking at potential school shutdowns? are we looking at never going back to our offices? what in your view are we heading into? >> i think that omicron has thrown aic wrench of an unknown. we're still learns about t. but one thing is clear in the future, and cases are up. hospitalization is up, 50% of our total population being vaccinated is not nearly enough, even with delta, the rate of transmissibility. people may sea what if it's not -- we don't know that, by the way, but let's say it is le

good to see you, nicolle. >>> welcome to "the beat." i am ari melber. we begin with break news as trump faces two legal setbacks. donald trump now facing a formal legal demand to go under oath in this big investigation that new york attorney general letitia james has been leading. she has subpoenaed him to testify. the goal to get him to sit down for a deposition and answer for allegations of corruption and lying to authorities about his business as well as the view that fraud permeated his company, which he denies. it is a civil probe james has said state laws apply to donald trump like anyone else. >> president trump could not avoid justice in the great state of new york. my investigation is civil in nature. however, in the event that we uncover any conduct or activities which would suggest criminal activities, then that would change, obviously, our investigation. >> attorney general james has been probing some republicans like trump and some democrats like former governor cuomo. she was actually beginning a run for governor, which would be the job th

i'm john heilemann in for nicolle wallace for the fourth and final time this week. we come on the air with breaking news. kim potter, the former brooklyn center minnesota, police officer who fatally shot 20-year-old daunte wright during a traffic stop in april has been found guilty of first and second degree manslaughter. he was killed during the trial of george floyd. wright's tragic and senseless death underscoring for many how much work remains to be done even after the nationwide equal justice protests in the wake of floyd's murder and chauvin's conviction. wright was pulled over because of expired tags on his car and an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. in the trial, potter took the stand in her own defense at one point breaking down in tears. her attorneys admitted she made an honest mistake. but in closing arguments prosecutors characterized it as a quote, blunder of epic proportions and demand accountability. now potter has been found guilty. she has been ordered held without bail. the judge saying that potter cannot be treated any differently

it's good to be with you, nicole. thanks for having me on. i very much agree. the way to understand this, in terms of the trumpian movement, the maga movement, is a certain predicates have to be laid in order for them to execute what they want to execute, and some of those predicates are pretty nasty stuff, and i thought that the don junior speech was an indication of that, and i must say, it's not just that clip, but i went ahead and listened to the whole speech. it was about 40 minutes. it's not for the faint of heart to listen to it. it was pretty striking, though. it was just a cauldron of grievances and resentments. he led the crowd in a chant, "let's go brandon." it was filled with anger, aggression, and it really -- the important thing to understand, it seems to me, is not what it says about don junior or his family. we know about them. it is that that kind of message electrifies the base and it's a powerful base, and they know what they want to do. they've signalled it in terms of overthrowing elections t past one and future ones, and we just have to be

>> well, nowhere good, nicolle. and the interesting thing is, i think we are all saying the same thing, is that when you look at those numbers, who are these people? these people are those who are so taken in by a political ideology, they will make decisions that are against their own -- not only their best interests, but against their lives, against their possibility of surviving the pandemic, which is astounding. and by the way, the other thing that's very concerning, of course, is that we now have an average death rate, daily death rate of about 1,300 people or 10,000 a week dieing from a disease that's preventable if you take the damn vaccines. it is astounding the me as a physician, as a public health person, to see people that are really putting their lives on the line to stand up for something that makes not the slightest bit of sense, nicolle. >> an unbelievable death rate. we shouldn't get to the point where we leave that out. 1,300 people a day are dying of covid every day. doctor, thank you for reminding

i'm john heilemann in nicolle wallace all week long for you. as america heads into the second holiday season of the covid areaa the virus is running rampant through both the psyches the american public and on ground in some places thanks to the omicron variant. if you are in genuinely panicked new york city seeing record numbers of cases and seeing impeding levels

i'm john heilemann in for nicolle wallace. i apologize. before we get into the what of the biden administration's new covid response announced by the president at the white house, course of action that's urgent and immensely dift to pull off. let's first address the question why. odds are, it being december 21st, you have probably, hopefully, i hope, i hope you thought or thought about or gotten tested before traveling or seeing family for the holidays. if that's the case, images like you're seeing now probably look familiar. lines down the street, in the cold, three, four, five hours of waiting. these particular photos are in gotham city, this is from washington, d.c. take a look at this ariel shot. this is what the situation looks like in miami, florida. embarrassing, frankly. two years into a global pandemic that has dominated all of our lives. again, it is very possible you already have personal experience in this arena. behind the surge in testing, omicron, which the cdc now says is the dominant variant of covid in the united states.

read jonathan capehart, read nicole hannah jones, read bell hooks, read people who can inform you, james baldwin, the fire next time, i would recommend every american read that book to grapple with the powerful articulation of the politics of grief that have besieged black people, the traumas we have endured, but the overcoming power of love to remake american society. without black forgiveness, america wouldn't be what it is today. >> that's for damn sure. quickly, professor dyson, what role does washington have to play? lawmakers up the street here have to play in this conversation that we're having? >> well, extremely important, first of all, the bitter bickering, the futile feuding, and the nastiness and the resistance to try to engage the other. now, i'm not pretending that one side is not more responsible than the other for what we see now. the malaise we're confronting is mostly all made up of those on the right who refuse to examine themselves through a prism of self-reflection and decency and humility. what the politicians need to do is practice some of that religious discourse

it is 4:00 in new york system i'm john heilemann in for nicolle wallace. jim jordan, call your office! we've got breaking news, fresh from the january 6th select committee's investigation into the attack on our capitol. last hour, we learned that the committee has sent congressman jim jordan a request for information. it is the second such request made of the republican congressman after pennsylvania congressman scott perry received a similar request n. a letter to jordan, the select committee chairman wrote, quote, we understand that you had at least one, and possibly multiple communications with president trump on the 6th. we will like to discuss each such communication with you in detail. jordan was specifically asked about those communications in a local ohio tv interview back in the summer. if jordan ever does sit down in front of the 1/6 committee, he might want to make sure his answer is a little more polish than this. let's take a listen. >> on january 6th, did you speak with him before, during, or after the capitol was attacked? >> i would have to

. >> i want to play this from writer and thinker nicole hannah jones. take a listen. >> we are a society that willfully does not want to deal with the antiblackness that is at the core of so many of our institutions and really our society itself and we're seeing a backlash, efforts to me to subvert democracy, to make it harder for black people in particular but people of color, marginalized people in general to vote. i think we are in a very frightening time. >> eugene, are you equally frightened? >> i am very worried. you know, i mean, frightened? look. you got to fight back. right? you have to -- there are a lot of people in this country who are very concerned about the fact that for example one of our two major parties the republican party is no longer so sure about the whole democracy thing. it is just no longer, it certainly is no longer a hundred percent committed to it. and it is actively exploring ways to get around it. i mean, that is alarming. we should be alarmed about it. but we have to call it out. we have to denounce it. we have to fight a

. >> hi, nicolle, thank you. welcome to "the beat." i'm ari melber. first, trump's chief of staff has a huge problem with claims for privilege in the riot probe. why is matt gaetz hanging out with steve bannon? is it because they both have plenty of legal strategy to hash out? but we begin with the top story, the coronavirus pandemic, delta surging across america and the omicron variant now spreading in multiple american states. the variant has been confirmed in a total of six states. you see them here. health officials view community spread as inevitable in many dense places. and today the president urges patience plus resilience to defeat another round of this virus. >> whatever got to beat it back before we shut it down. look, it's going to take time worldwide. in order to beat covid, we have to shut it down worldwide. >> worldwide means, well, at least 40 countries and counting. you can see on this map just how fast this thing is spreading. and the first scientific data is coming out of south africa that shows omicron spreads twice as quickly as t

i spoke to tom nicoles the never trumper from the atlantic about that last week. >> the objection i keep raising is that if you're trying to build a coalition of ordinary voters who are not no matter whether you think they should or not are not going to sit through a graduate seminar in race and gender, who are not as plugged in every day to the political discourse the way people like you and i might be, you are going to lose elections. >> what i find so amazing about that argument is that if that were in fact the fear you wouldn't see republicans gerrymandering to ensure they can win elections even when they have a minority of the votes. you wouldn't see efforts to make voting for people of color more difficult. you wouldn't have seen an attempted coup in our capitol on january 6th. if the belief was the policies of the left of progressive people talking about racism, who are talking about women's rights, who are talking about queer rights, if that wasn't there that they could turn off so many voters democrats couldn't win why are there so many efforts across the country from state hous
