After three weeks of the Derek Chauvin trial, how is @esglaude feeling? “Right now, I’m exhausted, Mehdi. I’m exhausted because I’ve been overwhelmed by images of death and grief," he tells @mehdirhasan. "That exhaustion could easily morph into rage."

With the jury now deliberating, who did the better job presenting their case in the Derek Chauvin trial, the prosecution or the defense?

It’s a proposal that’s so racist, so blatantly white nationalist, you’d think even the GOP would crack down on it. But as @MehdiRHasan explains in his 60-second rant, think again. Start the clock!

Legendary activist @noamchomsky has railed against the modern GOP stance on climate change. He tells @MehdiRHasan, they’re the only organization in human history “that is dedicated with passion to ensuring that the survival of organized human society will be impossible.”

Pres. Biden is approaching his 100th day in office. @MehdiRHasan asks @noamchomsky, how’s he doing so far? “On the domestic front, I am surprised. It’s better than I expected,” Chomsky says, but on foreign policy, there is “a lot to be desired.”

Actor @rizwanahmed shares with @MehdiRHasan where he thinks America is as a country post-Trump. “Underneath the differences that seemingly separate us,” Ahmed said, “is a common will of humanity that unites us all.”

This year’s Oscars nominations broke diversity records. @MehdiRHasan asks, is Hollywood making genuine progress? Best Actor nominee @rizwanahmed explains: “Progress is sometimes not linear...I think in a way you’ve never arrived at the destination. There’s always further to go.”

With troops set to leave Afghanistan by 9/11/21, has the U.S. won the conflict? Adm. William McCraven tells @MehdiRHasan the sacrifice of those who have served there “will not be diminished one bit, their patriotism will not be diminished one bit by how this war ends up.”

WATCH: Five GOP senators have introduced a bill to balance the federal budget.
Because *now* they’re very concerned about government spending.
@mehdirhasan has some thoughts, and some laughs, about that:

Thousands of approved refugees wait in limbo to enter the U.S. because Biden hasn’t followed through on a promise to lift Trump-era caps. “I'm very concerned about this,” @RepJayapal tells @mehdirhasan. “I have raised it multiple times now to the White House.”

WATCH: Why hasn’t Biden fulfilled his promise to raise Trump’s limits on admitting refugees to the U.S.? “When America fails to fulfill its promise to these refugees,” @mehdirhasan says, “it’s adding to the trauma that led them to America’s doorstep.”

Kathe Sackler, whose billionaire family marketed deadly opioid drugs, says she wouldn't do anything differently. That, says “Empire of Pain” author @praddenkeefe, reflects “the way in which a certain type of elite plutocrat is shielded from the consequences of their own actions.”

Did the left underestimate Biden’s progressivism? Actually, @_waleedshahid of Justice Dems says, the left effectively campaigned for a more just America, and Biden “responded to that pressure from below.” But when “people compare him to FDR, I think that's a little premature.”

.@imaniperry considers the police killing of Adam Toledo: “He was in seventh grade. And obviously there was a series of lies that we got, yet again, from police officers...We need to stop having people roaming the streets with weapons who are able to act with complete impunity.”

When President Biden took office, he made it clear to people that the U.S. was open to immigrants once again. But the admin. may end up admitting fewer refugees than the Trump admin. did. So what gives? @RepJayapal joins @mehdirhasan tonight to discuss at 7 p.m. ET on @peacockTV
