Msnbc can you spot the threats

The people who invited the January six rioters to come to Washington and because it would be wild, because they were promoting this theory that Mike Pence could be pressured, could potentially even be physical stopped from counting the electoral votes and that would undo the election results. The Justice Department appears to be letting that slide entirely. They appeared to be not investigating. That they are just going for the foot soldiers. The people who are investigating the organizers of the attack on the Capitol, the organizers of the so-called insurrection our Congress, the congressional committee.

But if all these Trump folks start defying the subpoenas and saying, we consider this investigation to be optional, it will be up to the Justice Department to decide whether or not that gets prosecuted as contempt. So that remains. That sort of proceeds with each passing day as it gets even more intense. And the questions around it become even more constitutionally potent. But the dance card in Washington just broadly is quite -- here is something I want to show you on a lighter note.

This is going to start airing broadly tomorrow. I say that with a little bit of surprise because, to be honest, we have to double triple check with the lawyers to see if we were even allowed to play this ad on TV. It turns out, we are allowed to play it. And so I am going to show it to you. Again, it is coming up tomorrow, we got here exclusively tonight, this is the world premiere. But it is a little edgy. Trouble maintaining a strong coalition?

Tired of the parade of disappointing performances? Then you might be one of the million Americans suffering from electile dysfunction. Talk to your representative if you are experiencing greased palms, lined pockets and dictators, neo fascist, or other pre- existing conditions, as you may not be healthy enough for the FTVA.

Passing FTVA may cause an increase in being hurt, power a full expression of your inalienable rights, representation and the real federal condition, called accountability. If you experience voting lines that last over four hours, call your senator, because they have not passed the FTVA.

Talk to your senator about the Freedom to Vote Act, and demand safer and more satisfying elections today. My favorite parts are the sad twizzler. I will never eat a Twizzler again without laughing at it. Must be 18 years or older to vote. Ask your doctor if is stable functioning democracy is right for you. A peaceful transition of power is necessary for sustain representation. Side effects may also include civic satisfaction, increase prosperity, ordinance is established, blessings secured, faith renewed and postelection clarity.

You may not be healthy enough to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. That said, the Freedom to Vote Act is not going to pass without Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, for example, deciding that it matters enough for him to make it happen.

You know, in terms of what will happen next in Washington, they did just pass this big infrastructure bill, right, which is huge. I mean, check your local paper to see if your local Republican member of Congress help to her and that. But now that they have done that, they actually have to do an impossible number of things over the next few days. By next week, they need to vote to fund the government. They need to vote to raise the debt ceiling.

They need to pass the must pass bill to fund the military. And, oh, by the way, they need to pass through both the House and Senate, the Build Back Better bill. Remember, it was pulse be infrastructure in the Build Back Better bill is the big one. This is the bill that House Democrats and House progressives were promised, would pass.

They were promised it would pass next week, in exchange for their votes on infrastructure this past Friday. Joining us now is Washington Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who has been a key player in these negotiations and remains so. One of them went without the other and exchange for a promise.

There was no negotiated agreement between the two senators that you mentioned, Manchin and Sinema, and the White House. And the House, there was no text.

There was no vote to move the bill forward before the final vote at the end. And we made a tremendous amount of progress. What happened on Friday, is that we were all set to pass both bills.

At the last minute there were six Democrats who said they needed more fiscal information from the Congressional Budget Office.

And that they needed a little bit more time. But we had a caucus why discussion, and we decided, that what we needed to do was show momentum, by passing the infrastructure bill, if and only if we got an absolute rock- solid agreement, from the six, that they would vote for this bill, as soon as the Congressional Budget Office got that information to them, but no later than next week.

That is the agreement that we finally agreed to. And we would pass the bill next week. What was the original prize? And that just would not have happened six weeks ago, five weeks, ago if the progressive caucus had not stood up strong, to say, this is what we are going to do. No one left behind. I mean, if the CBO comes back and says the cost is going to be Y instead of the cost is going to be X, is that going to be justification for them, to not vote for the bill, and thereby leave you sort of stranded?

JAYAPAL: Well, the really good news is we got a lot of fiscal information from the joint committee on taxation and from the White House, that actually mapped out and said this is how much it cost, this is what the investments are, this is what the revenue will be. And what they said is, we just want a few more tables from the CBO actually verifying this information that we got. What are written agreement says, is that, the written statement says this, as long as it turns out to be approximately ballpark with the White House is already given us, that they will be fine.

If there is a discrepancy, they will work expeditiously with us to fix that discrepancy. The president committed that if there was a discrepancy, he would work very quickly with us to fix it, and to make sure we raise the revenue. So, I feel confidence, and let me say we asked the White House multiple times, are you sure these numbers will match up, and they did say yes, we are very certain of that.

And again, with all of our progressive priorities that we had articulated almost six months ago. MADDOW: Washington Congressman Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus -- still very much in the thick of this, sort of in suspended animation right now between these two bills -- thank you for helping us understand tonight.

Thanks very much. The man on the phone was fixated on one of the election conspiracy theories pushed by President Trump and his allies. This conspiracy theory that voting machines from a company Dominion had been rigs to flip millions of votes from Trump to Biden, and they had stolen the election.

Schumer said in an overnight statement, "Even before the horrific January 6th insurrection, QAnon supporters spread disinformation that amplified hatred and violence and threatened our democratic institutions. This assessment raises awareness for our government and the general public to the evolving threat posed by domestic violent extremists' adherence to QAnon's dangerous principles and further shows the urgent need for an independent January 6th commission.

And they did. And I thought that was going to be our biggest problem moving forward — candidates whipping up conspiracies to divide voters and get elected. I failed at the time to recognize that the dangers are far greater.
