just learned of a new witness for the house january 6th committee. he is matthew pottinger, who served on the former president s national security council. pottinger is expected to testify publicly at thursday s prime-time hearing, alongside sara matthews. also just in, bennie thompson on whether or not the former president and vice president will end up on the witness list. here s what he told cnn s manu raju. has the committee made a decision on whether to subpoena mike pence or try to call donald trump to testify. not yet. what s the hangup here? no hangup. we just haven t made a decision. what s your view on that? i think we would benefit from that testimony, but we have a committee. pence and trump? pence both. yeah, i mean, they both have, i would think, significant knowledge about what goes on. but we have a committee, and
granholm said yesterday on this program that that would mean cutting into the funding that is at the root of the already funded infrastructure bill? i mean, she said that s really a big hangup if you re going to cut the gas tax. i think we have to balance these priorities. right now the pain that americans are feeling is coming at the pump. if we can cut the gas tax at the federal level, temporarily pair that with states who are willing to cut their own taxes, use the higher blend of ethanol that can cut maybe 40 cents at the pump, realizing that the real problem here is that the five largest oil companies in the first quarter of this year rake in $35 billion of profits. a 300% increase. so, while we re doing those things, i also want to see us move forward on holding these firms accountable, using the legislation that we ve enacted in the house to task the federal trade commission, to go after price gouging. you know, we have to be honest
the boyfriend loophole is a provision that prevents someone accused of domestic abuse from having a gun. 33 states, i believe, already have certain provisions along those lines. the particular hangup in the language is unclear at this moment. but there is a worrisome subplot here. it is not just john cornyn who is leading the republican effort and a close ally of mitch mcconnell, but he s answering to more and more republicans in his caucus who are frustrated. the gop they want to get this done and they don t want to ask any of the senators to be the 60th and deciding vote, to break the filibuster. they want to clear in a thar by 62, 63, 64 to give cover to members and mcconnell said he would participate and they want to do this and do is soon but new republican resistance is growing at some of the measures. so they feel the longer this
it might surprise people. frankly, it shocks me at times, to realize just the availability of information. the idea that somebody who could be a judge, the assumption would be, by virtue of people who are trying to retaliate in some way, angered by choices you ve made and decisions you ve ruled on, that there would be an overwhelming desire to protect. and you know now i believe that? we ve seen it with the supreme court, with protests that have been happening. you have members of congress vying for something very similar as well. why is this such a difficult thing to try to pass? there is bipartisan support. what do you think is the actual hangup here? you know, i wish i could answer that question because it boggles my mind. i mean, this bill is bipartisan, bicameral. we passed the senate judiciary hearing committee with no objections. sen senator cruz, senator cotton, there s bipartisan support.
