Description:

A Senate report finds that the Capitol police knew about the potential for violence ahead of the events at the Jan. 6 insurrection, though the report omits Trump’s influence and excludes the word “insurrection.” Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar joins to discuss the failure of the Capitol police leadership and to explain why the report is not a substitute for an independent commission. Michael Fanone, a Capitol police officer who defended the Capitol during the insurrection, also joins to share his perspective on the report. Later, Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe joins to discuss how an independent commission will produce more detail on the events of Jan. 6 than a report could.  

Senior Commentator and former U.S. Representative John Kasich joins amid Democrats’ frustration over stalled efforts to reform voting, gun violence, policing and more due to the filibuster. Don and Kasich discuss Sen. Joe Manchin’s opposition to the For The People Act, and Kasich explains why he also opposes killing the filibuster.  

According to IRS data obtained by ProPublica, the richest Americans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little to no income tax. Don brings us details on the report. 

President Biden cut off infrastructure talks with Republicans. Former Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina and former U.S. Representative Denver Riggleman join to discuss the future steps for Biden’s infrastructure plan. 

Presidential Historian Douglas Brinkley shares how former President Obama’s interview with Anderson Cooper further informed him of how history will look back on this time in American politics. He said that this time will partially be known for the constant mixed messaging from Obama and former President Trump. 

A Senate policing reform bill hit a roadblock in the legislative body. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton joins to discuss how the police can rebuild trust between officers and the communities they serve.  

Host Chris Harrison is leaving the Bachelor franchise for good. Don reviews former star of “The Bachelorette” Rachel Lindsay’s interview with the former host and her take on Harrison’s racial bias.  

Finally, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has become one of Biden’s strongest allies in the Senate. As Sanders hints that Democrats may try to pass an infrastructure bill without Republicans, Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger brings a report of an alliance between a long-time centrist and a long-time progressive.
