“As Prince Harry and his American-born wife, Meghan Markle, spilled the royal tea in their sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, pundits spent their evening dunking on the U.K.’s royal family.” But @mehdirhasan points out how hereditary rule isn't alien to the U.S., either:

“Many people feel that after watching the video of George Floyd's torture and killing last year, we crossed some kind of line,” NAACP’s @Sifill_LDF tells @mehdirhasan. The cop who knelt on Floyd acted as if he'd face no consequences, and “we can't be sure that he wasn't right.”

New CDC guidelines say fully vaccinated people can visit others indoors. “Definitely a sign of progress,” @kavitapmd tells @mehdirhasan. “If you're vaccinated, you are much less likely to transmit or give the virus to someone else.” Still, “There's no situation that's zero risk.”

WATCH: “Last summer, even as the nation was in the grip of a pandemic, change seemed possible. That's why the nation's eyes are once again on the city of Minneapolis. Because change, lasting change, will not be possible without accountability.” -- @mehdirhasan

He's just not that into you? The 2021 Republican Party seems to have decided it can't live without Trump but it isn't clear if the Donald feels the same way. @DelPercioS and @LEBassett join @mehdirhasan to discuss tonight at 7 pm ET on @peacockTV and live: youtube.com/7h3Ld3g9QcQ

The voting rights order Biden signed today is a good first step, but “it’s not enough,” @MsLaToshaBrown tells @MehdiRHasan. “With a stroke of a pen, those things can be rolled back...The Senate is going to have to take a hard look on passing & eliminating the filibuster.”

“I would just like [Joe Biden] to treat the climate crisis like a crisis,” teenage activist @GretaThunberg tells @MehdiRHasan. Politicians “have said themselves that this is an existential threat and they’d better treat it accordingly, which they are not.”

The Covid relief bill “is bipartisan legislation, it just didn’t get any support of the 50 Republicans in the U.S. Senate” @SenTinaSmith tells @MehdiRHasan. “That’s on them. That does not mean it is failing to appeal to Americans across the board.”

The Senate’s passage of the Covid relief bill is “a victory for Biden, unquestionably,” says @MehdiRHasan.“But the way things stand now, because of the filibuster, it looks like it might be a one-off victory.”

How can you reach QAnon believers that you know? “Check in on them, ask them apolitical questions,” researcher @rothschildmd tells @mehdirhasan. “Let them know you still love them, you still care...Know how to debunk this when it comes up, but don't try to debunk it before that.

“I've come to view myself less as an objective journalist, and more as a clinical journalist,” says @Peacock’s new host, @NBCJoshua. “If I was an oncologist, I would not be objective about cancer. I want a cure. But I can’t go into a lab and look at my sample and go ‘DAMN YOU!’”
