NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

“It really comes down to the question of, ‘Isn’t $10 million enough?’ Like, when does it stop?” she asked. “At what point is it amoral that we’re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless people in New York City?”
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, 'freedom' means you don't get a say in how much someone else gets to have if they work for it. Second of all...no, it is not amoral that Jeff Bezos gets a helipad, because 'we' aren't building it for him. HE is, with the money he EARNED. He didn't bust into a bank and steal that money. He didn't even steal it from all the people who bought things on Amazon. He got it by giving something to people that they wanted enough to give his company money, and he earned the money by doing that better than the competitors. It would, however, be EVIL to steal his money just because you are envious and have not been able to produce similar results with YOUR labor. Sorry; pouring drinks just doesn't earn as much money as building and running a successful company.
And the homeless? Well, a good deal of that is due to mental illness. NONE of it is because of 'rich people' having 'too much money'. There isn't a single person in America who is homeless because some rich guy somewhere made more than 10 million dollars.
The "Green New Deal" Is none of those.
ReplyDeleteIt's not green. It's a Communist Manifesto intended to bankrupt and enslave America.
It's not new. It's the same lie that the Commies have been selling for a century.
It's not a deal. It's a power grab intended to take over the energy industry, just like they are trying to do to the health care and insurance industries with "Medicare for All."
