unfolded on that day and the days leading up to it. today, kevin mccarthy, who spoke with trump on the phone on january 6th, dodged a question about whether he would comply with a subpoena if he was served. the january 6 collect committee said they could issue subpoenas as soon as this week. if you are among the group who is subpoenaed either for your information or for an interview, how will you respond to that subpoena? are you advising your mellow members of congress how they should respond? i haven t reserv received an subpoena but this is going to show this is more about politics more than anything else. there is two questions they should look upon, why was the capitol left so ill-prepared and how could we make it so it never happens again. sander is here.
mike pence was harassed by donald trump in full view. we want mike to do the right thing. members of congress were threatened in full view. we like some more than others. violence was encouraged by mike flynn and rudy giuliani, who talked about combat. i wonder, with so much in full view, where you think the fervor comes from to keep secret their conversations with donald trump? well, that s a great point, right? the real danger here is not that we don t know what happened. it s that we know what happened, and there s no outrage or that the other side simply tries to pass it off as normal behavior. that wasn t true in watergate, by the way. i think richard nixon knew that when his conversations were revealed, the gig was up. he bought into the basic moral framework. here, the president has always denied it. you are right, we already have
on the side of the people who were coming out to peacefully protest there while the president walked over to the church, i think it is the appropriate thing. jesse: had nothing to do with trump, right? greg: that was a really wuss move on his part. dana: many of them are praising general milley for the idea that maybe he went outside the rule of law or the process. here s some media folks. a montage. seems to be the greatest patriot that was on duty during the previous administration. i don t blame general milley for any of this in as much as a brand donald trump. god bless general milley for straightening things out. i understand that. but this was an emergency. we had none certifiable
human level. it is one thing to push tribal politics. it is another thing to mislead millions of viewers in this way. you know, part of the cynicism is that, of course, we know that in the murdock empire all of these hosts are required to be vaccinated. there are mask mandates. so what they are saying and doing are dramatically different. but, you know, the question you are asking is one of the big challenges going forward in a number of different areas, is how do you combat disinformation, particularly with people who don t want to listen to anyone outside the alternative reality side they live in and in an environment where you have politicians and media folks who really do seem to be willing to spread any sort of lie or misinformation even after the cost of human life. so that s a very, very difficult question. all that we can do is those of us who are responsible, is to continue to push the truth, push
a bipartisan win. well, after months of gridlock, mitch mcconnell was one of 17 senators backing a test vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. joining us now, mike emanuel. between mitch mcconnell voting on this thing and taking off pro-vaccination ads on kentucky radio stations, he s getting good press which is rare for the republican senator leader. most media folks don t care for mitch mcconnell. he s not a sound bite machine. he tells you exactly what mitch mcconnell wants you to know and not flowery sound bites. they see him as an obstacle to the joe biden and chuck schumer agenda. when he is one of 17 to start the infrastructure package and is pushing americans to get vaccinated, a moment of good press for mitch mcconnell. we ll see how long it lasts, howie. howie: mcconnell doesn t famously care for what the media
