Stay in office? >> no. i think the governors conduct is disqualifying and thats why so many democratic members of the new york congressional delegation and the state legislature called on him to resign several months ago. my heart goes out to the victims most importantly of governor cuomos conduct. both the sexual harassment piece and in some instances, the sexual assaults. and this is something that no one should ever have to experience. im also thinking of my sisters and friends who work in po...

We know he has a very feisty relationship with the mayor of new york city. they dont get along. bill de blasio saying he finds what hes hearing troubling. and he said what weve seen is disqualifying. the question is will the governor listen? >> theres no evidence leading up to today that the answer to that is yes. we could all be surprised. but you have to believe that deep in his heart, he knew that all of this was going to come out because of the nature of -- and the intensity of this investig...

President. she picked her own biased members but rejected jim jordan. jordan is the top republican on the judiciary committee. he was on the intelligence committee which has more access to more sensitive information than any committee in congress. why is it your members can have their minds already made up but somehow that is disqualifying for the other side? its the sort of question a serious objective media would ask. its the sort of question a media serious about speaking truth to power would...

It should be fair. it is fair to ask, why democrat members of congress are free to prejudge evidence, misspace miss every, run against the person they are investigating. leak like sives, yet they are qualified for service on an investigative committee, but jim jordan is not? that is the question, why schiff and not jordan? why swalwell and not jordan? why is it your members can have their minds already made up, but somehow that is disqualifying for the other side. the sort of question a serious ...

Stuff. he said the only reason the house was setting up this january 6th committee was to, quote, malign conservatives. liz cheney today describing those comments as disqualifying, showing that he was not taking the mission of this committee seriously. i think thats a fair observation. but the other guy who got himself objected to by nancy pelosi, jim jordan, shes describing him as something different. she is describing him as, in her words, a material witness to the events that the committee is...

Serve on the select committee. >> she was real clear, mark murray, she was not going to entertain a lot of questions about kevin mccarthy and the accusations he has made against speaker pelosi. i dont know who the questioner was, leann, sahil, may know. she basically shut them down and said im not going to go there. this isnt about politics, this isnt about donald trump. this is about getting after the truth. right? she has been saying that all along. she has opened the door to republicans being...

May well be a material witness to advance that led to that day, that led to january six. the other who disqualified himself by his comments, in particular, over the last 24 hours, demonstrating that he is not taking this seriously. >> so how speaker nancy pelosi did intervene to block two of the proposed five republicans from the january 6th commission. and the latter one described there by liz cheney is congressman jim banks. she says that he disqualified himself by his comments over the last 2...

There. >> it feels like that. look, i get the -- i get the political optics of having liz cheney versus jim jordan. i mean it is -- that is not a fair fight. on the other hand, i do think that voting to overturn the election should be disqualifying. >> yeah. >> that nancy pelosi would be completely justified in playing hard ball and saying this is not a joke, this is not a farce, this is not going to be a circus sideshow that kevin mccarthy wants it to be, this is going to be a serious investiga...
