It's "claustrophobic to arrive here in the U.S. and to have people live in some kind of denial” about the rise of far-right Hindu nationalism in India, @RanaAyyub says."There is this comfortable and convenient ignorance about what’s happening."

We’ve covered the global rise of the far-right on this show for some time. But if you think Le Pen and Orban are dangerous, let @mehdirhasan tell you a little about India's prime minister, Narendra Modi:

.@JeffDSachs famously advised the Soviet Union on its controversial transition to a free market economy. So, @mehdirhasan asks, did that transition lead to today’s authoritarian Russia in any way?
“It’s the opposite of the truth,” he says.

We've talked a lot about the global rise of the far-right. But tonight, we're not talking about Hungary’s Orban or France's Le Pen.
@RanaAyyub and Gregory H. Stanton join Mehdi tonight to weigh in on the spread of the deadly ideology in India. Catch that convo on @MSNBConPeacock

With Putin & top Russian officials suggesting they don’t see Ukraine as an independent country, @mehdirhasan and @JeffDSachs debate whether the war's moved past the issue of potential NATO membership for Ukraine to one of Russian imperialism.

“To smear ordinary gay Americans working in our schools as secret ‘groomers’ or as pedophiles is sick, is inexcusable, is outrageous,” @MehdiRHasan asserts in response to GOP efforts to revive decades-old, dangerous homophobic tropes to stoke a culture war.

In tonight’s #handover, @MehdiRHasan is struggling with some memory loss. He tells @AymanM he might be coming down with a case of amnesia à la Marjorie Taylor Greene. WATCH:

An estimated 8 million people are suffering with covid long-hauler symptoms. @RepPressley wants to come to their aid, telling @MehdiRHasan: “their symptoms are as real as they are, and they are deserving of, and warrant, a federal response.”

Republicans are flip-flopping so fast on Trump, it might just give you whiplash. @MehdiRHasan calls them out in tonight’s #minirant.

Why did Pence refuse to get into a car with Secret Service on Jan. 6?
@CarolLeonnig tells @MehdiRHasan there’s still a lot we don’t know, but shares “there was great concern within [Pence’s circle] that the goal of moving him was to prevent the certification.”

The Jan. 6 select committee is expected to hold public hearings in the coming weeks, but as @MehdiRHasan points out, there’s still A LOT of unanswered questions, especially about the role of various officials and institutions in the attack. WATCH:

You’d think that the federal government, with millions of dollars to spend on life-saving medical supplies during a deadly pandemic, would be extra careful with that money. Leave it to @mehdirhasan, and new reporting on the Trump administration, to prove otherwise.

“Isn’t that hypocritical, that [Israel] has nuclear weapons,” @mehdirhasan asks former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, “and you don’t allow the IAEA to check?”
“You are very nervous, don’t be so nervous,” is how Olmert begins his response. WATCH:

As tensions escalate in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, we need to stop thinking of the violence as new, @mehdirhasan says.
Instead, he asks, why aren't we wondering why there hasn’t been a serious effort to address the brutal, illegal occupation?

“Amnesty Intl. and Human Rights Watch are now saying Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid. Surely you don’t disagree with them,” @mehdirhasan asks former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, “given that you warned of it?”

In the days after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell reportedly began to turn on Trump — until they lost what little backbone they had.
@mehdirhasan explains why the GOP's cynicism & spinelessness is still shocking, and should shock all of us.
