Why did Doug Mastriano's wife claim this week their family "probably loves Israel more than a lot of Jews do?" @PeterBeinart shares his theory with @MehdiRHasan WATCH:

“They want to talk about everything other than what actually is going on in the Republican Party and what the party has fomented since the era of Trump,” @TaraSetmayer tells @MehdiRHasan on the lack of response from the GOP on Paul Pelosi’s attack.

“Speaker Pelosi has been demonized time and time again by Republican politicians. So, no, it’s not the same,” @JulianCastro says of GOP whataboutism. “We're still waiting for the facts, but it wouldn't surprise me if this [attack on Paul Pelosi] was one of those instances.”

“I can’t work out what’s worse. Is it the craven silence,” says @MehdiRHasan of reaction to the attack on Paul Pelosi. “Or is it the indecent response from so many others on the right?” WATCH what Mehdi has to say about the GOP’s normalization of violence in Sunday’s monologue:

Critics say the Biden admin. and public health officials haven’t done enough on Covid policy — but Congress is also to blame, @ZekeEmanuel says.
“It’s not just the administration that has dropped the ball,” he says. “Republicans have, and that is a very important message.”

Weeks after deeming the pandemic “over,” Biden says Americans should get their booster shots. But as Covid cases surge, @AmmahStarr says “We’re going to learn, unfortunately, the hard way that we’re not fine if we don’t take some of these basic measures to keep each other safe.”

We hear it all the time: Americans are *over* Covid. But the pandemic keeps reminding us: Covid is *not* over you.
It’s a message the Biden administration and the CDC need to be sending. So, @mehdirhasan asks, why aren’t they?

.@Sulliview tells @mehdirhasan the news media is “overly responsive to criticism from the right” in their quest to be seen as “fair and unbiased and impartial.”
“Democracy and anti-democracy are not equal things, and they shouldn’t be treated as such.”

Election Day is less than two weeks away, and one of the two parties vying for control of Congress is fielding candidates who threaten the future of free and fair elections. But you might not know that if you’re following traditional American media, @mehdirhasan says. WATCH:

The American Rescue Plan gave $1,400 checks to millions of Americans. Why haven’t Dems campaigned on its success?
“The president is out there, pounding on the fact that the American Rescue Plan is why we still have a resilient economy,” senior adviser @genebsperling says.

After Biden ruled out eliminating the debt ceiling, @mehdirhasan asks senior adviser @genebsperling: Why would he want to keep it?
“What we need to get rid of is the politicization of the debt ceiling,” he says, saying it's "unthinkable" for the GOP to hold it hostage.

Top GOP lawmakers are calling the debt ceiling “leverage” — and @RepBrendanBoyle wants Dems to repeal it while they can.
It’s an “absurd accident of history that now the Republicans are using it as leverage,” he says. “Let’s act…while we still have the opportunity.”

GOP brinkmanship on the debt limit could not only doom the Biden administration, but also the global economy. But there are ways to make the problem go away.
@mehdirhasan urges Dems, "please stop giving the Republicans a weapon with which to beat you."

There are many signs that mainstream journalism is failing at the job of covering right-wing extremist candidates as we approach the midterms and 2024.
With democracy at stake, @Sulliview joins @mehdirhasan to talk more about it. Be sure to tune in: peacocktv.com/mehdi

The debt ceiling has been around for decades, but it's become a dangerous bargaining chip for the GOP to pressure Dems on spending.
@RepBrendanBoyle has a plan to get rid of the debt ceiling. He joins Mehdi to talk more about it. Watch their convo on @MSNBConPeacock.

The debt ceiling isn’t working as Congress intended — and @RepBrendanBoyle wants Democrats to repeal it before it’s too late: “If we don’t do this in November or December, then shame on us.”

Obama’s former speechwriter @codykeenan says idealistic words from the president really do matter: "They don’t necessarily change minds on their own, they don’t make everything better on their own, but a president…can give us something to reach for."

The U.S. has slapped sanctions on Iranian officials and entities over their crackdown of women-led protests. Were those sanctions a good move?

Iranian women have long been at the forefront of social change in their country. But in recent weeks, they’ve led an unprecedented counter-revolution that the world has, perhaps, never seen before. @mehdirhasan says it is far from over.
Here's where protests stand 40 days in:
