That is different than full cooperation telling everything he knows is much more of an open book and thats what really remains to be seen here. what i think is significant though is that if you look at the trump inner circle one of the biggest problems the commit tee has is penetrating it. they couldnt get to meadows and bannon. theyre in discussions to talk to rudy giuliani and in a discussion of focusing on what was going on, who was advising the president, it is a potential step forward from ...

The capitol riot. adam kinzinger is also going there bluntly saying they are looking into possible crimes and trump himself is being investigated. >> do you believe that donald trump committed a crime? >> by the end of our investigation and by the time our report is out, i have a pretty good idea well be able to have out in the public record anything the justice department needs maybe in pursuit of that nobody is above the law. last week republican liz cheney also saying they are looking at poss...

The united states using full resources available to him including his bully pulpit can be convinced to do the right thing and at least make an exception to the filibuster for purposes of voting rights. >> well be watching. thank you so much. coming up breaking news from the january 6th committee now demanding answers from a republican lawmaker for the first time. plus, donald trumps desperate new lawsuit to stop the probe into his finances. and avoid going under oath. also trump got boosted as...

Things they allowed to pass with just 50 votes, not the 60 votes that a filibuster requires. we had georgia senator raphael warnock here last night after he argued in the senate if that 60 vote rule can change for other things and the dome of the capitol doesnt come crashing down because of it, why cant we change that 60 vote rule to pass voting rights too. senator warnock told us hes been making that case in person to his fellow democratic senators, particularly senator joe manchin who has refu...

They insisted it could not happen not once, and i guess in the end, that was technically true because it didnt happen once. it happened twice, twice in two weeks. over the last two weeks the senate twice created exceptions to the filibuster, two different things they allowed to pass with just 50 votes, not the 60 votes that a filibuster requires. we had georgia senator raphael warnock here last night after he argued in the senate if that 60 vote rule can change for other things and the dome of t...

Committee and i absolutely agree with the congressman, the committee has done an admirable job in moving forward and trying to get to the truth in the face of unprecedented stone walling. but the committee has taken a while. were already past 11 -- more than 11 months after the january 6th attack and the committee has been treating this, i think, a little bit like an ordinary government investigation when youre dealing with honorable people on the other side. and that is, you know, the opposite ...

People while keeping test results secret and rather than stand up for the truth, meadows publicly agreed with trump that his own book was fake news. he actually retweeted an attack on his integrity from a trump spokesperson. it is bizarre. it is humiliating but that is just the kind of degenerate person mark meadows is and no doubt explains why meadows is suddenly snubbing the committee once again at trumps behest. now its clear that the come milt-- committee is done playing games. there is no l...

This committee? >> well, don, mark short and witnesses like him may be the committees most realistic chance to get a firsthand full and truthful account of what was happening in those key days and meetings leading up to january 6th and what was happening on january 6th, what it was like to be side by side with mike pence when he was getting ushered out of the senate chamber as that mob attacked. so i think mark short is going to be a crucial witness here. the committee has put a lot of focus on ...

For virtually every conversation that mike pence had over the entire four years. he can go back all the way to june 2020 when the president first started talking about election irregularities through january 6th. it is an invaluable bit of testimony, subject to all the privileged conversations we have been having, like what he thinks he cant provide. >> to your point, they wont get everyone. a lot of folks are stone walling and refusing. at shorts level and proximity here, right, to pence throug...

Committees investigation into the fossil fuel industrys climate disinformation campaign, unquote. this is the first time executives from the companies testified together under oath in front of congress where democrats attempted to hold their feet to the fire demanding answers for their outsized impact on climate change and the decades of lying their companies have engaged in, wounding the planet for profit. while republicans slammed president bidens handling of soaring gas prices. joining us now...
