Idea for the climate crisis? look, the republican plan for the climate crisis is to not talk about the climate crisis. that has been true for a number of years now, and it s no different now. you know, one of the reasons this is also such a big victory for democrats is because in the obama administration, when they tried to pass cap and trade, it was such a spectacular collapse of an effort to make a big movement forward on climate that this step, while it is incremental, is really a big change in washington s ability to deal with this problem. but also on the political side, look, mitch mcconnell would prefer that really nothing happen in washington between now and november because republicans are running on stagnation in washington. they re running on the biden administration not doing anything, congressional democrats not doing anything. so, any time a bill is passed, i think that cuts against his arguments, the republicans main argument going into november. so, how would you d ....
Ryan nobles joins us now. do we know if mick mulvaney is with the committee now, if he s still testifying? reporter: we do. our sources tell us, mulvaney is in the room with investigators right now. mulvaney is someone who was once a loyal member of the trump administration, served as his acting chief of staff, and has now become a pretty vocal critic of the way the former president handled everything leading up to and on january 6th. his insight might be a little bit different than some of the other members of the trump cabinet that they re trying to talk or have already talked to. another person they re interested in speaking with is former secretary of state mike pompeo. pompeo acknowledged today on fox that he is engaged with the committee about a possible interview. we thought it could happen as soon as this week. it looks like those negotiations are ongoing. but we know the committee has spoke to a number of cabinet officials, including the former ....
