We hear a lot about ‘the Left eating the Left,’ but where’s similar talk about the Right Wing after this weekend’s chaos at the Texas GOP Convention? @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM discuss the schisms exposed after several lawmakers were booed and harassed by the gathered Republicans.

As Russia's war on Ukraine nears its fourth month, are we any closer to negotiations on diplomacy? @poroshenko joins @MehdiRHasan to discuss what can be done. "We have three positions; a ceasefire, withdrawal of Russian troops and the releasing of hostages."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's objection to vaccines for young children is outrageous. Despite DeSantis’ contention, @MehdiRHasan points out that kids are still at risk and the GOP’s interventions in the debate over vaccines is outrageous and dangerous to America’s children.

“This virus is impacting children in a significant way and is causing death, @MarkWKlineMD1 tells @MehdiRHasan, saying GOP objection to vaccines for kids “is undermining everything we are trying to do” to protect the lives of children.

Lawmakers have praised Pence for his actions on Jan. 6th but what does his fmr. aide @OliviaTroye have to say about his silence since then?
“I’ve been calling for [Pence] to come forward,” she tells @MehdiRHasan. “If it were up to me, he should have come forward on January 7th.”

.@MehdiRHasan says there’s no real comparison between Trump & Nixon.
“Watergate is a walk in the park next to the Jan. 6th attack on American democracy, and the almost-assassination of an American VP at the hands of a mob incited by the American president.”

Republican conspiracy theorists aren't just running for powerful public offices, they're also winning GOP primaries. The threat to democracy is real. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

There are two major takeaways from Thursday's Jan. 6 cmte. hearing:
•Eastman’s plan to have Pence postpone certification of Biden's election win was illegal.
•The threat this scheme posed to democracy was and remains very real. (via @thereidout Blog) msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidou…

We’ve been so focused on the 1/6 hearings and on gun violence in America that it’s easy to forget the war in Ukraine is still raging on. @mehdirhasan takes a look where things stand on Day 112 of the conflict:

“Once you define the world in Cold War terms, you inevitably end up basically overlooking whatever human rights abuses the people on your side are doing,” @PeterBeinart tells @mehdirhasan. “We have to keep MBS on our side, because we’ve divided the world in zero-sum terms.”

It’s “ironic for Biden to say he’s going to Saudi Arabia to help peace,” @aalodah tells @mehdirhasan. “What kind of peace is MBS making when he’s making the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen … threatening Lebanon, Iraq, and all neighboring countries?”

What was it that Joe Biden called Saudi Arabia during the campaign trail?
@mehdirhasan shows how actions speak louder than words when it comes to Biden’s stance on Saudi Arabia (really, all presidents going back to FDR).

At least 108 Republican candidates who embrace Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ about the 2020 election have won primary races so far.
That’s why the 1/6 committee hearings are so important, @mehdirhasan says. “There must be accountability, or it’ll all just happen again.”

"There are many ways that the law was violated,” @JillWineBanks says of Trump & John Eastman’s efforts to stop the certification of the 2020 election. “This was a crime of obstruction of a congressional proceeding that needs to be indicted.”

Trump’s all about ratings, and by that metric, the #January6thhearings are a hit. But producers want feedback from its main audience of one (no, not Donald).
As the future of U.S. democracy becomes a spectator sport, @mehdirhasan asks: What does Merrick Garland make of it all?

TONIGHT on @msnbconpeacock: As Biden gears up to visit Saudi Arabia next month, @peterbeinart and @aalodah join @mehdirhasan to discuss whether Biden’s flip-flop on the kingdom is pragmatism vs. idealism - or could there be more to the story?

There are lots of new January 6th developments to unpack. And it isn’t even a hearing day! Including new videos of a GOP congressman leading a group on a tour the day before the attack.
@JillWineBanks and @nicholaswu12 join Mehdi tonight to make sense of it all. Tune in!
