That i see in my initial reaction is that does not leave any republicans with buy-in with the exception of portman. senator portman. so in my view that will allow republicans to walk away if they are not at the table trying to negotiation and to cut a deal. you know, he is very close to mcconnell. if mcconnell wants to pull the plug, this is an easy way to do it. >> the way that i read the portman thing, and we will find out tomorrow or maybe never find out. the other republicans decided rob is ...

Banks respond on fox tv after this, and he went on. he just came filled with the republican talking points of nancy pelosi doesnt want to get to the bottom of what happened, shes afraid because itll all lead back to her and theyre not going to figure out why the capitol wasnt protected. thats what theyre trying to do is to figure out how to stop this from happening. its just a complete fallacy. >> its a lie. these arent talking points. these are lies. and this is an attempt to whitewash what hap...

And getting a deal at this stage is incredibly dire. the finger pointing is intensifying. that does not happen when theyre getting close to a deal. both sides are accusing the other of moving the goal post and the democrats have a realization here. because there is another larger $3.5 trillion package they need to move forward. they need to keep the party in line to get it out of the senate. theres talk of rolling some of the provisions that are part of this bipartisan deal into that larger pack...

For this package dealing with covid relief money already been spent redirecting in certain ways. so some major, major sticking points. democrats came back last night and tried what they called a global offer, along with the white house, to resolve all of the major sticking points. but just moments ago a republican source familiar with the investigation said that republicans have rejected that. they said that this offer was not in their view in a serious one because it reopened issues that they s...

This week the house select committee looking into the january 6th insurrection has its hearing. house speaker nancy pelosi rejected two picks from kevin mccarthy. then he pulled the plug on all the members he appointed. today, nancy pelosi has chosen adam kinzinger to the committee. nice to see you, congressman, thanks for coming on. the panel will have kinzinger and liz cheney. do you support these choices? >> do i. this is a good example of country over party. liz and adam, i dont agree with t...

Arson. speaker pelosi recognizes that democracy is on life support and this is very binary. either you are the team trying to resurrect it or you are trying to pull the plug. jim banks wanted to pull the plug and we want to ensure every american that this will never happen again. >> i want to read to you an article by paul stodman, saying, efforts at a real examination of arguably the worst outbreak will not be done bipartisan. the less involved mccarthy is with this committee, the more likely i...

Is the skill of nancy pelosi. kevin mccarthy backed himself into a corner. so there was absolutely nothing left for him to do today other than to pull the plug. usually in circumstances like this, and chalian and nobles can correct me if im wrong. but in circumstances like this youll have a committee come out and issue a report, and the republicans and the minority leader would issue their own report. that now wont happen. you will have this what appears to be a bipartisan committee going forwar...

Support. this is very binary. either you are a part of the gang that is trying to resurrect it or you are a part of the gang that is trying to pull the plug. jim jordan, jim banks, kevin mccarthy, they are seeking to pull the plug. why didnt he appoint john katko? john katko had negotiated the independent bipartisan agreement with speaker pelosi, voted for that commission that mccarthy voted against. there were people he could have appointed but he just showed how unserious he was and uncommitte...
