congressman adam kinzinger congressman adam kinzinger >>> the republican congressional caucus is shedding yet another member. illinois congressman adam kinzinger, long-time trump critic, one of two republicans on the january 6th committee, he announced he will not seek another term and will retire from congress. that makes kinzinger the ninth congressional republican to choose to pack up and leave washington this cycle. he joins three other house members and five senators, all members that are by and large more standard pre-trump republicans, i think you call them. now, for some context, ten house republicans vote today impeach trump the second time around. kinzinger is the second member in that group to retire and seven republican senators vote today convict, two of them have decided to retire. according to 538, as of april, get this, out of the 293 republicans in congress when trump was sworn in, 132 of them, about 45% are no longer in congress or have announced their intention to leave. shell goldberg is an op-ed columnist for "the new york times." tim million ser writer at large for t

kinzinger is not running for reelection, to be clear, adam kinzinger is a real republican. has a very right-wing conservative views, i don't like his politics at all, i'll just tell you, he voted with donald trump's position 90% of the time. i think there's basically nothing redeeming about the substantive commitments he has for how the country should be governed, except for the fact that he is anti coup. he is pro democracy. but that is now the defining issue for the conservative coalition. congressman ruben gallego is a democrat from arizona, you just heard him speak about his harrowing experience, from that clip on the hbo documentary for hours at the capitol, he joins me now. which is a mean, congressman. to have lies about that event, following the big lie of the election be used as the dividing line, the litmus test for wet essentially, participation an entrance into the modern-day republican party is. >> well, it means that the coup is ongoing. it means that the coup has moved from the rabble rousing nurse, those losers, there is want to be terrorists that showed up

adam ki adam ke a adam kinzinger announcing he won't run in 2022. >> we've allowed leaders to reach power selling the false premise that strength comes from degrading others and dehumanizing those that look, act or think differently than we do. it has become increasingly obvious to me as a country, we must ucnplug from the mistruths we've been fed. i can't think of a broader fight nationwide. >> so joining me, cnn global affairs analyst mr. max boot. good evening to you. so kinzinger was one of the top, you know, one of the trump ten, okay, one of the trump ten i should say, the ten republicans that voted for impeachment, now two of them aren't seeking reerecr reelection, will any of them be able to survive in the trump gop? >> that's a great question, don. i mean today, trump said two down, eight to go and he may well get the other eight, too. they are facing tough challenges including liz cheney with multiple challengers lining up to run against her, i think it's very tough to be a patriot in today's republican party because anybody who stands up for our democracy and for the constituti

that's what we are seeing with adam kinzinger. but it -- there's -- that was a rather slim volume, anderson. those stories are not legion in american history. and right now, republicans are running for cover. they are frightened of donald trump. 78% of republicans embrace the big lie. they are worried about primary challenges. they are worried about losing their careers, and that's what makes what liz cheney and adam kinzinger did tonight and what, maybe, some others will do on thursday so notable. >> yeah. and i mean, chuck grassley as we talked about days ago. taking the -- the endorsement of -- of president trump, avoiding even the comments he, himself, had made about the insurrection now. david axelrod, dana bash, appreciate it. thank you. >>> coming up next, a closer look at the next steps from a legal standpoint if as expected the full house votes to refer criminal contempt charges against steve bannon. >>> later, one of the best-known lawyers in his state. now, the defendant accused of misappropriating millions, asking a ju

that we're going to lose adam kinzinger. he's been a good friend of mine. we served together as the tuesday group now called the republican governing group. he's a strong principled voice and i'm sad that he's leaving. i'm not surprised. we were very much aware of the illinois redistricting or jerry mandering that would collapse his district to there in the hoods and it is a sad day for the institution but at the same time i think he will carry on the fight. he's a young guy and has a bright future ahead of him and he will be part of the next leadership of the republican party that sets it straight and talking about prince peoples and ideals rather than loyalty to a very flawed man. >> well, the flawed man you speak of, i assume, is former president trump who responded via statement, it is simple. two down, eight to go. and speaking about those ten who voted to refer the articles of impeachment over to the senate. and congressman, i wonder, is this the same as anthony gonzalez? because although he was -- still a substantive member of the conference, adam ki

kinzinger, who stood up and did the right thing. but you have different people in those jobs or weaker people in those jobs and you do have an election successfully overturned and that is what donald trump tried to do as his own justice department officials told durbin's committee. >> you mentioned grassley and the idea that he was a man of integrity and perhaps when you see him now you don't have that same impression. it is a theme, though, jake, we have seen with a number of republicans and there is this line right now that we keep hearing from a number of them, including mike pence, that, you know, what is with this focus on january 6th? it is just, you know, critics of president trump sort of overblowing one day. what is the effect of that?

now it is adam kinzinger. i feel like last week, nicole, you and i were talking about kind the slow disintegration of the group of ten republicans who voted to impeach president trump. they have gotten quieter and quieter, smaller and smaller. and now one of the biggest leaders of that group is calling it quits and throwing his towel in. >> mike schmidt, donald trump has smeared people, places things, but he has no venom quite as vicious as that for republicans who don't sort of kevin mccarthy him, pick out his favorite flaifrd star bursts and recant the truth about the insurrection. there is no one more vilified by trump and his crowd than republicans who, in his crew, cross him. >> did president -- the former president has been incredibly effective in this area. the list of moderate republicans that survived the trump era is small, if not non-existent. just this week, jeff flake was confirmed to be an ambassador for joe biden. just a clear example of where these people stand in trump's world, and the strongh

i caught up with republican adam kinzinger, he's on that january 6th committee, and i asked him what's at stake with the contempt vote. he said it's not just about steve bannon. it's about showing congress can follow through and do its job. walk me through what we expect to see with this contempt vote later this afternoon. >> what kenz ger said there is the same thing his fellow republican liz cheney has said throughout this process really trying to speak to republicans and her fellow conservatives appealing to her better angels and trying to unlink the hold that former president donald trump still has over the bulk of his party. while we do expect to see, in kinzinger's words, that a handful of republicans may join the vote and send it over to doj, that's not even a small part of the republican party. the majority still stands in the former president's corner as he continues to tell the big lie about the 2020 election, which of course fed into the events here on january 6th. what we do expect, though, you said this vote could come in about an hour. that's an optimistic timeline. what

you mentioned congresswoman liz cheney and adam kinzinger. also representatives meyer, gonzalez, simpson, upton, catco, and mace all voting in the affirmative. those eight votes along with the democratic majority assuring that this criminal contempt referral will pass. >> thank you very much. >> steve bannon, a long-time adviser of former president donald trump and the man who predicted this on the day before january 6th -- >> all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. >> reporter: -- is now in a legal predicament. the house of representatives set to refer him to the department of justice for criminal contempt of congress because he has refused to comply with the subpoena of the january 6th select committee. >> on january 5th steve bannon said on his podcast that all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. he promised something unprecedented, unforeseen, and told everybody to buckle up or fasten on or whatever. i mean, you tell me. >> reporter: the vote now triggers a process in the hands of the department of justice. they will decide if banno

adam kinzinger is one of those. he'll have a bright future and i think people like that will be the future. >> he did say, i want to make clear this isn't the end of my political future, but the beginning. what that holds, who knows. >> barbara, thank you. >>> up next president trump kicks off his future with pope francis. >>> at the front of a special investigation. >> that is only when a patient has exceeded or are at their life expectancy. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threate

also today, though, republican congressman adam kinzinger, outspoken republican critic of donald trump announces that he will not run for reelection. >> i stand in awe at the courage of the other nine members in the house who voted to impeach a president of their own party. knowing it could be detrimental to their political career. most importantly, though, i admire those everywhere that put their country above their party. >> joining us now, gloria borger, cnn's chief political analyst, and astead herndon, national politics reporter for the ”the new york times”. former president trump's statement was two down, eight to go. this one, does kinzinger have outsized significance considering just how vocal of a critic he was of the former president? >> i think it does. first of all, you know, kinzinger made it very clear that he was not going to leave politics. he said, you know, this isn't the end effectively, this is just the beginning, and when you look at adam kinzinger, what i think is really unfortunate for the republican party, this is exactly the kind of candidate that they want

i thought adam kinzinger who you showed earlier, i think it was -- >> it was. >> maybe it was adam schiff, one of the adams was pointed out correctly we don't know what happened on january 6th with the president inside the white house. we have a few of hitweets. he put out a video late in the day. we have some sporadic reporting by journalists, but we never had a full accounting of what he was doing while his supporters were ransacking the capitol and threatening to hang his own vice president. that's something by itself would be a huge question that we want to try to get some clarity on because i think it goes to his, you know, state of mind and the kind of, you know, responsibility he has as a leader for what happened on that day. >> listen, for what it's worth, adam kinzinger, adam schiff, both have made some pretty significant statements today. >>> so the beginning of the end, dr. anthony fauci says one thing will decide whether covid numbers keep going in the right direction, and he joins me to explain next. - had enough? - no... arthritis. here. new aspercreme arthritis. full prescr

charlie, you know adam kinzinger very well. you used to work with him. what does his decision to leave congress say about the republican party today? >> well, i did serve in congress for eight years with adam kinzinger. we're very close friends. we co-chaired the tuesday group together. i'm very sad about this. i'm not surprised. what happening is, again, mainstream, reasonable voices are being pushed out while the most extreme voices are being embraced and uplifted. that's what's so troubling about this, that people like liz cheney and adam kinzinger, who speak truth, who are thoughtful, principled people, find that they're really not welcome in the party. and it's all about creating a new movement so that people, you know, who are, i would say, center right and principled can feel comfortable within the gop, and too many cannot right now. >> redistricting didn't help, though, right? >> correct. oh, yeah. he was dumped into the seat with daf darren la hood and we kind of expected that too. >> ron, former president trump's responded to kinzinger's decisi

the question is whether there's still room in the republican party for figures like adam kinzinger, and he was conservative until he casts that vote to impeachment trump earlier this year. he voted in alignment with the president 90% of the time. a similar situation unfolding for liz cheney, and she's also a target of the former president she voted to impeachment him and refused to go quietly and actively debunked his conspiracy theorys, and kinzinger did not say what comes next, but he does have a megaphone and it will be interesting what he does with it. >> thank you. >>> coming up, we're hearing directly from a key group of voters in virginia with just four days to go until election day. >> think of the past year and a half, women have been stretched thin. we're tired and frustrated, but to me that's motivating. mm. [ clicks tongue ] i don't know. i think they look good, man. mm, smooth. uh, they are a little tight. like, too tight? might just need to break 'em in a little bit. you don't want 'em too loose. for those who were born to ride there's progressive. with 24/7 roadside assis

republican congressman adam kinzinger will not run for re-election. cnn congressional correspondent lauren fox joining us now from capitol hill. he had said just a couple weeks ago he was going to look at the options, of course, after things were being redrawn in the state. what more do we know about how he came to this decision, lauren? >> reporter: it's a critical moment for the republican party in part because it is a reflection of not just redistricting and the politics in his own state but also the fact that there is not room in the republican party right now for individuals who do not back former president donald trump. adam kinzinger with liz cheney has been one of the most outspoken members in deriding the former president's politics, his style, his lies about the election, and adam kinzinger saying just a short time ago on twitter in a lengthy five-minute video that he is not going to seek re-election. >> it's become increasingly obvious to me in order to break the narrative i cannot focus on both a re-election to congress and a broader fight

one of the two republicans sitting on the january 6th smee, congressman adam kinzinger announced he is retires from congress. >> if i ever thought it was time to move on from congress, i would. and that time is now. >> we will unpack what that means for congress, what that means for the january 6th committee, what that means for kinzinger's future as well. meanwhile, as we speak, president biden meeting with top french leaders including president macron. it is their first face to face meeting since france temporarily recalled the ambassador to the united states over the nuclear submarine deal, and it's also fresh off the president's first meeting with the pope as commander in chief. the most powerful catholics in the world under one roof. we'll dig into the significance of that meeting and look ahead to the rest of the presidential trip including a major climate summit. meanwhile, on this side of the atlantic, congressional democrats are scrambling to find common ground on the president's legislative agenda. they have no republican support on spending. and they're not all on the same p

that map is illinois is deadly for adam kinzinger, and adam kinzinger as you noted in your interview was talking about not running a couple of weeks ago, and he said, i'm done. he's not going to win in the primary and he knows that. he probably, absent to all these other things going on with the january 6th commission and committee and et cetera, he probably wouldn't have won anyway. the name in illinois is one of those famous state names where it's very tough to beat them in a primary even if you are kinzinger without the other baggage he has because of january 6th. >> it does appear donald trump is making the moves he needs to make to be eligible to win again. is he the democrats' best gift for 2024 or worst nightmare? >> you know, i think he's a gift for us. he's going to have some trouble. there are going to be some people running against him, and he'll be weakened by the time of the presidential election, but he would be a gift to run against for all of us. i wanted to say something about the salt tax because the majority of states in this country get more back in federal aid th

. >> as you know, i'm in the camp of adam kinzinger, and liz cheney in terms of supporting the january 6th committee. i tweeted and i was seen on tv saying let's subpoena all of trump's records, his phone records, text records, everything immediately. so yes, it's frustrating for me to see this go on, and each rally is worse, and what's also frustrate to go me is how slow it is taking this january 6th committee to operate. if i had been in nancy pelosi's shoes, and remind everyone i am a republican, i would have been putting that committee together immediately. i would have been having whatever standing committee subpoena all those documents of donald trump. the committee is so important, and democrats need to -- >> let me jump in here. i hear you saying the committee is slow, but the documents, the testimony that's requested, they're slow walking it. they're not responding, so is that really the fault of the committee? >> no, but it's incumbent democrats now, because republicans aren't going to do it, except liz cheney, and adam kinzinger and the like, but the contempt report for stev

if you ask adam kinzinger and liz cheney, the only two republicans on that january 6th committee, they might even argue that it's politically for the reason we were just talking about before even not great to have the former president up there because it is almost makes him a martyr, but to get to the bottom of it, which is what they are trying to do, you need to talk to people like that, and that's why adam kinzinger is leaving that on the table. >> let's pivot and talk about president biden and his agenda that's currently stalled right now. the white house has been in intention talks with two key senators in particular, moderates joe manchin and kyrsten sinema and progressives in the house like congresswoman jayapal who was with the president today, but these two senators want different things. even though they are both democrats when it comes to the big social safety net pack. a the hope what is to have a deal by halloween. can the president thread this needle in just a couple of weeks? >> well, he's going to have to to -- to save his agenda and to push forward on his agenda. it's r

adam adam kinzinger announced this week he is not running for re-election. instead of the trump wing purged from the republican party, it is republicans trying to hold trump accountable for the coup attempt being purged. what do you make of that? >> first of all, adam kinzinger has been an admirable figure, one of a small number including liz cheney. i gather there's been redistricting in illinois, may have played into his thinking in terms of whether he has a real shot at getting reelected. whether he runs for the house or some other office, it is critically important for honorable republicans to stay involved in the political process, not to simply surrender, even though now it is a gloomy outlook. >> and how confident are you, mr. secretary, that the country can uphold democratic institutions, hold democratic elections in this country in 2022 and 2024 without violence? >> i believe we can have the elections and conduct them properly. i think we need to be prepared for the possibility of violence and as you know, we have a couple of elections at the state

maybe not quite as out there as liz cheney and adam kinzinger. not on the january 6th committee but certainly someone who is seen as a serious lawmaker who, you know, saw that she had to come forward. and it really became an issue. i think this is part of the reason, what bob was talking about, why this committee needs to go forward, the work needs to happen. because we don't know what exactly kevin mccarthy knew, when he knew it, who he was involved in those recollections. her recollection appears to be different from his. it is putting all of those pieces togetherba because they are disparate and recollections can be faulty. it has now been months since january 6th. what exactly happened. what were people like steve bannon doing at the willard planning all of these different things that happened? it is pretty outstanding that you have just this view of republicans who were willing to go on the record to support this. >> i don't want to put you on the spot, but if you know and can name all nine, anna palmer can you take us would they are. >> i c

you know, i think that it probably can't be easy to be congressman adam kinzinger or liz cheney today but i just want to play what adam kinzinger said about his republican colleagues. >> as a republican, don't let my side use the security posture as the straw man argument in this. the reality is that is the equivalent of blaming the victim of a crime for the crime. and while it is important, that's not what we're here to talk about today. madame speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in but steve bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us and now we must approve it. >> your thoughts, margaret? >> the sound bite sort of stood out to me also when he said it because it helped explain the dynamic here. there has been a real willingness among many republicans to condemn the violence that occurred or some of the individuals who stormed the capitol that day and sort of perpetrated the violence but to try to separate it from the former president or his associates, to try to separate it from egging people on or giving them a predi

i will ask one of only two republicans on that committee, adam kinzinger. >>> he is back. six years after leaving "the daily show" jon stewart has a new show and a lot to say. >> overwhelmingly, i still believe this is an experiment worth having. how can it not feel good, jake s tapper? feel good! >> our interview and why he still has hope for america ahead. ♪ >>> hello. i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is watching president biden's problems mount. the president is out fine-tuning his sales pitch for an economic agenda his party still cannot agree on. democrats are scrambling for alternatives after joe manchin appeared to kill the cornerstone climate policy in the party's social safety net package. as democrats try to sell their spending plans, the biden administration needs to calm fears over inflation and a supply chain nightmare that could get worse, plunging our nation's ports, railroads, trucks and critical infrastructure workers deeper into crisis just in time for the holidays. joining us now is secretary of transportation pete buttigieg.

. >>> we've got big news out of capitol hill where adam kinzinger has announced that he is retiring. kinzinger, of course, the republican from illinois, who was often a thorn in the side of president trump, often clashed with him, as well as members of the republican party. he says in a video that he just posted to twitter, "i remember saying during the campaign that if i ever thought it was time to move on from congress, i would and that time is now." we are gathering more information with our hill team and we'll have more for you on adam kinzinger's decision to retire coming up. meantime, there are new worries for democrats in virginia this morning, as that closely watched governor's race enters the final days of campaigning. there's a new fox news poll that gives republican glenn youngkin an eight-point lead over former democratic governor terry mcauliffe among likely voters in a state that joe biden won by ten points. right now, youngkin is meeting with voters in charlottesville, hoping to build on that momentum. dave wasserman of the cook political reporter tweeted this. "do i t

kinzinger's. so yes, both sides gerrymander. wouldn't you if that were the only hand you were dealt? but a, it is just a fact democrats don't do it on the level that republicans do and have done even in illinois. they could have gone much bigger in the gerrymandering in illinois some might argue. and, b, the democratic party is almost unanimously behind the freedom to vote act which bans extreme partisan gerrymandering while republicans including adam kinzinger seem unanimously opposed to it. let's see what happens wednesday when it is up for a crucial vote in the senate. there are three big threats to american democracy right now. gerrymandering, election sub version, and voter suppression. in my view gerrymandering is the worst of the lot because you don't need to suppress the votes of your opponents if there aren't enough of them in your district to make a difference thanks to gerrymandering. you don't need to subvert the result of an election if it is already a foregone conclusion thanks to ge

kinzinger and say, would you rather with adam kinzinger or a toaddy like steve scalise? the vast majority of republicans are going the steve scalise model. >> so sad. miles, are you optimistic your effort will be successful? >> look, i'm optimistic in the long run that there are forces for change in this country to make this happen. you just look at the polls. in fact, 50% of americans now say that they are political independents, they're not democrats or republicans. so there's genuine consumer demand for something new in this country. in the short-term, though, it's an uphill battle. that's the reason me and governor whitman led off the piece by saying, rational republicans are losing the gop civil war so our last best hope at the moment is to team up with democrats to deliver defeat to the radicals. that's what we've got to do now to win this fight. but look, i'm worried that american democracy won't reach its 300th birthday if we don't do this. we're calling on concerned conservatives to join us. come back into the fight. it's not over yet. stay tune. >> miles taylor

that includes liz cheney and adam kinzinger as far as i am concerned. or you are in the camp that wants to pull plug and take us towards an authoritarian state. i welcome liz cheney. and give me the problem that in a couple of years if this democracy is still around where she and i can debate theish us we don't agree on. but free speech, freedom of press, freedom of markets, that could be all gone. we have to be a big tent party right now. i will say this. i used to believe what robert costa said. i think fear is a factor. adam kinzinger is afraid. he gets threats all the time. so is liz complainy. it doesn't get in the way of them doing the right thing. i think for some of these people they were never as honorable as they put out in the the first place. they are just now showing their true colors because donald trump put out in a permissive attitude that it is okay. >> i would like to add -- >> please. >> it is not just fear, i would add sometimes they explain it away as fear. but let's not forget, at the end of the day it's decision they make. it is a

. >> we should note that republican congressman adam kinzinger, one of few in the gop who stood up to donald trump will be a guest on "morning joe" later today. susan del percio, thank you for being here. >>> still ahead, there are major twists and terms involved in the texas abortion law, and that's exactly what legislators were intending when they wrote it. we'll talk about where the legal fight stands today. fight standsy there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away.

last time i checked liz cheney and adam kinzinger are republicans. congress has subpoena powers and subpoenas are not optional. yeah, if the january 6th committee wants to refer the noncompliance of the full house, the full house can send it to the department of justice, and then those individuals who defy subpoenas can be prosecuted under contempt of congress which will get you between one month in jail and a year and up to $100,000 fines. we're talking about serious stuff. if you want low-hanging fruit, go after steve bannon first, because he stopped working for the administration in august of 2017. so any claim of executive privilege or attorney/client privilege, after all, he's not a lawyer, that would fall flat and would get laughed out of court. >> yeah. hey, jonathan, it would be one thing if donald trump had a lackey working for him in the justice department, but he doesn't. actually, you have a professional merrick garland running the justice department. a lot of these claims are going to fall on deaf ears because they're spurious. what can

congressman adam kinzinger of illinois, a vocal trump critics says he won't seek re-election. he's drawn the ire of many republicans for doing so. he's scything the nature and tribalism and here's part of his five-minute statement. take a look. >> there's little to no desire to bridge our differences and unity is no longer a word we use. it's also become increasingly obvious i can't focus on a re-election fight to congress and a broader beginning of my career. joining us now is gloria borger, former president trump a short time ago saying two down and eight to go. at the end of the day is this a trump victory. >> he's claiming this as a victory because this is someone who be a horned donald trump and voted for impeachment and donald trump is counting all the people that he believes he can beat and if you take a step back and see that adam kinzinger has decided not to run for re-election, and by the way, he would have faced a very tough primary against redistricting, against a conservative pro-trump candidate and if you kind of take a step back, adam gindsinger is the kind of r

i commend liz cheney and adam kinzinger. i hope to reclaim this party for themselves in this country. we need a healthy two party system. i stood there with phillips tonight, recalled our moments up in the gallery, where we called out shame, and where he called out it was just outrageous. the false arguments elected members of the republican party were making in terms of trying to defeat our election. sadly, january 6th is not the end of what's happened. what we are at risk for now is a repeat of january 6th. sadly, something much worse. >> congresswoman madeleine dean, thank you very much for joining us on this important night. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. coming up, the trump cult is trying to turn fantasy into history. that's next. that's next. ♪ darling, i, i can't get enough of your love babe♪ ♪girl, i don't know, i don't know,♪ ♪i don't know why i can't get♪ applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. applebee's. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual

i think liz cheney, adam kinzinger would disagree and by doing that you end up washing that away. >> also just going back to that charles blow piece. it's a difficult time for democrats. my colleagues talked to a lot of activists and voters in georgia. they're unhappy with a lack of action in washington on police reform, voting rights. this is why that $3.5 trillion reconciliation package is so important for biden and the democratic party. >>> the taliban claim they have changed. what is the reality on the ground, though? our report from afghanistan up next. (vo) unconventional thinking means we see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most. that's how we've become the leader in 5g. #1 in customer satisfaction. and a partner who includes 5g in every plan, so you get it all. >>> in our world lead, quote, candid and professional. that's how the state department is describing their first meeting with the taliban since the chaotic u.s. exit from afghanistan. one u.s. official says this weekend's meetings in doha were not about legitimizing the taliban government. as the t

adam kinzinger and liz cheney who are on the republican select committee. they do not expect that to happen. it could be mostly partisan vote. after this, then it heads to the department of justice where the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia picks it up and have a choice if they're going to move forward or not. if the u.s. attorney does move forward then a grand jury is formed and these criminal contempt charges proceed, jonathan. >> it's obviously rising frustration level from systems about this investigation of stonewalling from republicans. what do you say your timetable about the others, meadows and scavino and kash patel. >> right now meadows and patel they're doing the fair minimum to stay off these referral of criminal contempt. they're engaging with the committee that's not a full cooperation. as far as scavino is concerned, they gave him more time because he was served with his subpoena late. the committee tells me they don't have a lotpatient. they're not going to wait forever. you can see in the next week or too some more action especial

joining me now, republican congressman adam kinzinger of illinois, a member of the january 6th select committee. thank you for taking the time this morning. >> you bet. >> the key here is getting to folks who are particularly close to the president on that day. among them, mark meadows, steve bannon. if they refuse to cooperate with the subpoenas, are you confident the committee has the ability to compel them? >> oh, jim, that coup attempt insurrection, that was nine months ago, we should just move on. no, look, we're going to do everything in our power to get him to testify. i mean, there is civil, there is criminal referrals that can happen if they refuse, refusing a subpoena from congress is a crime. and want to be clear about something, i mean, we have a right to get to the bottom of this. we aren't out to try to hang this around anybody's neck. we want answers. the problem is when you start seeing people resist, and people obfuscate, you have to look at that and geeo why are they doin that if they have nothing to hide? we have a lot of people coming and talking to us voluntarily.

you called adam kinzinger a bold choice for power. he announced this week he doesn't have an intention to run again. obviously kinzinger, he's gotten a lot of rebuke from republicans. there's talk this may have more to do with the fact of redistricting and he would have to face a fellow republican who is sitting in congress. what impact will his absence have in congress? >> you know, my concern is that those who did speak truth to power will get forced out. i think we've seen it. there were other examples with republicans who spoke out against the trump administration and they decide just not to run. all along as a democrat, i was one of those asking them to show this courage. so for democrats who asked for this, we have to, on the other hand, give kudos and support those who showed that kind of courage. in the final analysis, the democrats can't do this alone. >> quick question for you, congressman. there's something to be said for the fact that adam kinzinger is more moderate. for example, senator manchin has been getting so much at

adam kinzinger announced he is retiring at the end of his term. joining me to discuss is former republican congressman joe walsh of illinois. he primaied donald trump as president in 2020. he's a book called "f silence" -- it's not really f on the book. we should note that joe is a conservative but he left the republican party last year. joe, thanks for joining us. >> nice to be with you. >> our new polling indicates this enthusiasm gap. republicans seem more enthusiastic right now than democrats do. is that in line with what you've been hearing? >> absolutely, ali. i speak with republican-based voters, i engage with them still by the hundreds every day, and they're fired up. look, this should be a wake-up call to democrats. ali, i want to correct you on one thing. there is not a fight in the republican party. there is not a fight for the heart and the soul of the party. it's trump's party. trump and trumpism 1. i know everybody says this, but i want to say it again this morning. it is a cult. that party that i belonged to my whole entire adult li

kinzinger. this is a critical moment for the committee. their first public chance to fight back against attempts by the former president and his allies to completely stymie their investigation. the committee hopes in part that this threat against bannon will persuade other witnesses to cooperate and they hope the threat pushes bannon to cooperate as well. now, it's obviously really important to know here that bannon very likely has crucial information about how the insurrection happened, who did what, who knew what when and what role trump played in it all. according to the book "peril," it was bannon who pushed trump to return to washington from mar-a-lago for the january-6th rally. just days before the insurrection, bannon called trump and said, quote, you got to return to washington and make a dramatic return today. people are going to go what the f is going on here? we are going to bury biden on january every. effing bury him. bannon's confirmed that call happened. and in case it's unclear w

i really commend liz cheney and adam kinzinger. i hope they reclaim this party for themselves and for our country. we need a healthy two-party system. but i stood there with dean phillips tonight and recalled our moments up in the gallery where we called out shame and where he called out that it was just outrageous, the false arguments that members, elected members of the republican party were making in terms of trying to defeat our election. sadly january 6th is not the end of what has happened. what we are at risk for now is a repeat of january 6th and, sadly, something much worse. >> congresswoman madeleine dean, thank you very much for joining us on this important night. we really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you. >>> and coming up, the trump cult is trying to turn fantasy into history. that's next. into history that's next. this is... ♪ ♪ this is iowa. we just haven't been properly introduced. say hello to the place where rolling hills meets low bills. where our fields, inside and out, are always growin

representative adam kinzinger saying he won't run for reelection and calling on other republicans to get to the bottom of the big lie. >> this is not on the ten of us that voted to impeach. it's not on liz cheney and i to save the republican party. it's on the 190 republicans who haven't said a word about it. if the republicans take the majority, they'll kill this committee. they killed an independent commission and any attempt to get to the truth. >> a new investigation from the washington post reveals the warning signs ahead of the capitol riot. and how some lawmakers prepared for the worst. the post reports congresswoman liz cheney feared a bomb threat january 6th and hired a private security detail to escort her to the capitol. we have guests joining us to discuss this. carol, i'll start with you. talk us through your latest reporting. this is a huge, extensive detailed piece in the washington post. what did you uncover about the capitol riot? and most importantly, all the things happening behind the scenes that we didn't know until now. >> you know, we think and pride ourselves

earlier today, committee member adam kinzinger made clear the message they intend to send with this action. >> this potential criminal contempt referral or will be criminal contempt referral for steve bannon is the first shot over the bow, it's very real, but it says to anybody else coming in front of the committee, don't be able to think that you're just going to be able to walk away and we'll forget about you. we're not. >> and president biden could be one step closer to reaching an agreement in congress for his build back better plan, but it could come at the cost of the lynch opinion from his climate change agenda. due to opposition from moderate democratic senator joe manchin. house committee chair john yarmouth told us earlier today what that could mean for negotiations. >> there's a renewed understanding with both progressives and moderates that we have to get done what we can get done. that taking 80% of what we want is a pretty good victory at this point. >> more breaking news to share on the reported kidnapping of americans in haiti. 17 missionaries, again, we're told, mostly ame

but aside from liz cheney and adam kinzinger, democrats are out here all by their selves. the rest of the republican party is either looking for another way of actively blocking attempts to save our democracy, like how donald trump directed former officials to not comply with subpoenas from the january 6th select committee, a request that steve bannon complied with. where's the gop outrage that subpoenas are being ignored? where is the gop outrage that their president was actively working to use the levers of government to overthrow the election that he lost? where's the gop outrage that a president might have illegally profited from the presidency? where is the gop that was all about law and order? let's remember that if we survive this moment and if our democracy survives, it's because democrats did the hard and necessary work to save it. and the republicans? forget good government. even basic democratic government does not seem to be a party priority after donald trump. leading off our discussion tonight is steve schmidt, former republican strategist, cofounder of the l

republican congressman adam kinzinger announced he won't run for re-election. kinzinger one of ten house republicans who voted to impeach donald trump and he's one of only two house republicans who were willing to defy trump and to serve of on the committee now investigating the january 6th insurrection. one factor here is redistricting. new lines in illinois essentially combine two republican districts, but this is without a doubt a short-term victory for trump who vows revenge against those who defy him. kinzinger vows his effort to raise money in support for republicans who reject trump will continue. >> i cannot focus on both a re-election to congress and a broader fight nationwide. i want to make it clear this isn't the end of my political future but the beginning. serving six terms in congress has been an honor of a lifetime. >> cnn senior legal analyst laura coats joins our discussion. he told manu raju just days ago, not that long ago, a couple weeks ago he would run no matter what, even in a redistricting complication. we can put up on the screen the t
