> [@Aspenglow](#): > > They must line it up different where you are. Here on the West Coast, it’s Melber to Reid, Reid to Hayes, Hayes to Maddow, Maddow to O’Donnell and O’Donnell to Williams. At least for now. Sorry for the confusion – I was referring to when Melber is guest-hosting for Maddow. My wife is all excited for an hour with her “girlfriend,” and instead, she gets Melber. As far as who will wind up as the permanent replacement for Rachel, I suspect that MSNBC will want to have another female anchor in that prime time slot. I also suspect that Zerlina Maxwell, who has appeared on, and guest-hosted on, various MSNBC shows, and who currently has a show on NBC’s Peacock streaming service, is a candidate. ---

Ahhh, ok. That makes sense. Usually it’s Ali Velshi who fills in for Maddow, but you’re right – I’ve watched Melber do it as well. I expect everyone is auditioning. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Usually it’s Ali Velshi who fills in for Maddow, but you’re right – I’ve watched Melber do it as well. _facepalm_ That’s what I get for not reading for comprehension – it’s Velshi whom my wife dislikes (and who seems to be Maddow’s usual substitute). I actually kind of like Ari Melber, though he’s not on Maddow’s level. ---

> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > Has anyone seen a word in the last three days from these people about Trump’s “executive privilege” battles with the House January 6 committee? Last night, the House committee voted unanimously to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress, and forwarded the recommendation to the full House for a vote. If the House votes in agreement, it would be referred to the Justice Department for enforcement. Bannon (through his lawyers) had sought an extension, which was denied by the committee. Even if the House votes for contempt, and the Justice Department agrees to enforce the finding, as is noted in this article, it could still be a lengthy process. > **[House Jan. 6 committee votes to hold Bannon in contempt](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/house-jan-6-committee-to-vote-to-hold-bannon-in-contempt/2021/10/19/cc0e836a-3104-11ec-a1e5-07223c50280a_story.html)** > > The former Trump adviser is expected to be referred to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution for refusing to comply with a subpoena. ---

The consensus from the video seems to be that for the good of the GOP, Trump should quit griping about the election, but its the liberal media’s fault that he is being given so much attention, since they are trying to distract us from all the failures of the Biden administration. ---
