Your weight shortly, thank you. >> john: thank you congressman. they recessed but one of those coming up later is whether or not to hold president trumps chief political advisor steve bannon in contempt for defying subpoena from january 6th commission. i think thats what we heard jim jordan speaking to briefly as we dipped in. would not be the affirmative. for more on all of this lets bring in congressional chad pergram. chad, this matter came up in an exchange between eric swalwell and attorney...

Congressman steve scalise. congressmans lease on the issue of the contempt charge for a steve bannon, you said that the feeling in the g.o.p. caucuses to vote against it and vote no. why? >> thats correct john and sandra. if you start with the creation of the commission, it was clear from the beginning. and she went to the extreme of rejecting the picks that kevin mccarthy made to be on the committee so they undermine the credibility from day one. and it meander around and look for things to kee...

Trying to look past. im seeing that republicans from a political standpoint are saying we kind of want to recalibrate this and look at actually what happened and what were the security arrangements on 1-6, whereas democrats obviously want to go back and target president trump and those closely associated with him. somebody we didnt talk about here he was issued a subpoena is mark meadows. the former white house chief of staff and of the reason hes not being held in contempt of congress here is t...

Vociferously as they wish. >> john: at the attorney general miranda says that people have the right to complain as vociferously as they wish. meanwhile the school board is soliciting the expertise and resources, and the u.s. secret service, and national threat assessment center. it sounds like al qaeda is at the school board meeting and not parents. >> exactly. its really sinister and i think jim jordan again kneeled the question to merrick garland, where garland just could not answer, where he ...
