asking him about. >> adam schiff, adam schiff is a political punk. he is there to just absolutely take these talking points, as if they're not based in fact. he is the intel committee chairman, for goodness sakes. he is the one that has been spreading these lies. look, the reality is, it is the clintons and the democrats that were colluding with the russians in order to take this position that donald trump was colluding with russia. after the mueller probe, now what is going on with the durham probe, we're finding that was never true. donald trump did not collude with these people. in fact it was the clinton democrats political machine that was paying people to go generate this type of information and have people like adam schiff out there doing it. elizabeth: stay on that for a second. let's back up. obama officials, dni james clapper said there was no there there. peter strzok testified there was no there there. clinton operative, charles dolan a pr executive, shown to have more ties to russia, this guy has more ties to russia than trump did. had t

all this was known to adam schiff. he is literally accessing the classified information back in 2017. elizabeth: right. >> for him to claim surprise at this point is just a h absurd. you wonder if lightning will strike him for these five of things. elizabeth: my former editor at forbes, jim michael said the tedious power of self-righteousness. russia meddles in u.s. elections. russia has been meddling for decades in u.s. elections, right? by the way the mueller probe found out they were doing things to benefit hillary clinton. now we have clinton operative, charles dolan, deep ties with the russian government. he was the source for steele's main source, igor danchenko for lying to the fbi. this is what they said in the durham indictment. that danchenko's work could affect likelihood that a hostile foreign intelligence service, meaning russia would attempt to influence the election and, basically plow disinformation into the hillary campaign and into the fbi. so adam schiff is not aware that russia is capable of doing t

and finally midnight in washington, california democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as leader of the firstt jet first impeachment trial of president trump. congressman schiff recently spoke about his book on her author interview program, after words, here's a portion. >> if kevin mccarthy were ever to become speaker, essentially donald trump would be speaker. he would not disagree with him ever. you have an outside party effectively running the house of representatives. the story, as you know i tell the booke i told because i think it is so characteristic. mccarthy and i are sitting on a plane flying back to washington this is in 2010. midterms are about six months away we aree having an idle conversation about who was goinghe to win i said the democrats did when he said the republicans would win and that movie started i was relieved to escape to the movie. we landed, i thought nothing of the conversation and we went our separate ways. that night, unbeknownst to me did briefing to the press which he told the press that everybody knew republicans are going to win the

today, we will talk to representative and chairman of the housing intelligence committee, adam schiff. we will talk about the races around the country in the continued investigation into the january 6 insurrection. first, cdc advisors are recommending pfizer's covid-19 vaccine for children ages five to 11 years old. that news coming down in just the past hour. and one local doctor has co-authored a petition urging doctors to sign it and urge the california to part with of public health to get a clear way out of masking, quarantines and a symptomatic testing in schools. joining us now is it -- an infectious disease expert. good to see you. i feel getting that pfizer vaccine approval, i want to ask you about this because you've explained your thinking and choices as they have evolved over the course of the pandemic, making adjustments each time something meaningful happens, that dealt the surge, delta goes away -- this week, i notice you are taking a strong stand saying california health officials have to establish a way out of those mitigation measures, including masking in schools. wh

adam schiff group admitted republicans would win the midterms. so in the morning the newspaper came out, i was just a guess, i was astounded and i saw him out of theon house floor and i saido kevin, there is a private conversation but if it wasn't, you know i would say exact opposite of what i told press and he said i know you know how it goes. i said no i don't know how it goes. that is not how i operate but that's how hee operates and you pecannot have someone with such little regard for the truth serving as speaker of the house. and this is one of the most destructive things over the last several years, his lack of devotion to the truth but over the last four years, the relentless assault by trump and his acolytes on the truth itself. best expressed by giuliani is in the truth without truth and conway who said there were alternate facts. we can agree on the very basic facts, then we don't have the shared experiences. i think that's one of the most corrosive things which is a relentless attack on the truth and i'm sure you feel it keenly as a j

he sat next to adam schiff and adam schiff admitted the republicans win at the midterms. i didn't learn until the morning and i was aghast, i was astounded and i sought him out on the house floor and i said kevin, first of all we are having a private conversation. if it wasn't, you know i said the exact opposite of what you told the press. he looks at me and he says, yeah, i know, adam but you know how it goes. i said kevin, no, i don't know how it goes. you just make stuff up and that's how you operate? that's not how i operate. that is how he operates and you cannot have someone with such little regard for the truth serving as the speaker of the house. and indeed this is one of the most destructive things over the less so years and he was ahead of his time in his lack of devotion to the truth but over the last four years there's been this relentless assault by trump and his accolades on the truth itself. probably best expressed by julie on who said the truth wasn't truth and kellyanne conway said they were entitled to their own alternative facts. if we can't agree on a

morgan, you get a scale of 100 out of 1 to 10 taking down adam schiff, they finally did. >> welcome i don't know that i did that but i think so sean. it is important he get asked tough questions, quite frankly should have been asked before i had the opportunity to do so. i'm very grateful for allowing me to ask these tough questions. and what was more surprising to me is that the congressman appeared somewhat surprised that someone was asking this of him. i had hope and i know it is very naive of me, i had hoped he would have been reflective and talk about what he has learned after reading this dossier into the congressional record, right, defending it and promoting it that obviously didn't happen and the exchange and the rest is history. >> sean: before you were up to your eyeballs to deal with the corrupt congenital layer adam schiff. but where is every other news organization and where is adam schiff to be held accountable for all the lying and leaking he was involved in? >> well, that is one of the key issues is the blitzer's and all these reporters want and this i, that they have

speed when were up to your eyeballs to deal with the corrupt congenital liar adam schiff. but where is every other news organization and where is adam schiff to be held accountable for all the lying he was involved in? >> well, that is one of the key , sean, the pulitzers and all these reporters want and this is fine, that they have crafted some stories but i can tell youa there is many stories they have not corrected. of and there are stories that should be corrected.e we had this thing right the whole time. i think when you look at the democrats and the things that they have spewed, it is hard to believe at this point that they would still defend christopher steele knowing what we know now. that christopher steele wasn't doing anything other than taking fake information and he was hired to put out fake information. to say someone was lied to is just preposterous. it's not true. it is more deflection and confiscation of these guys are doing. if these news organizations really want to come aside where new and very few journalists were, there were only a few of you actually

. >> reporter: house intelligence chairman adam schiff is ahead. hello, i'm dana bash in washington, where the state of our union is in a state of uncertainty. as thank you so much for joining me. what is it about this variant that has experts so worried? >> i think the main thing that has us focused on this, and has caused a lot of us to be sort of 24/7 on zoom calls for the last four days is that it has so many mutations. omicron has more than 50 variants that make it different than the original virus, including more than 30 that are in the spike protein. i brought my little model along in case people have forgotten what this looks like. these are the spike proteins that sit on the outside of the virus and enable it to get inside your cells and omicron version of that because of those changes, is going to have a different shape and of course that's also what the antibodies are directed against. so the question is, will the antibodies generated by the vaccines that we have all had or should have had will that enable us to be protected against this

. >> house intelligence chairman adam schiff is ahead. hello, i'm dana bash in washington, where the state of our union is in a state of uncertainty. as we were giving thanks around the dinner table that the end of the pandemic could be in sight, a new variant was beginning to send shockwaves around the world. stock market tumbling, and beginning tomorrow, the u.s. will restrict travel from eight african nations. the cdc says no cases of the omicron variant have been identified in the u.s. yet, but dr. anthony fauci says he wouldn't be surprised if it was already here. denmark confirmed two cases by passengers arriving by plane from south africa. right now researchers are racing to find out more about how this variant behaves, how aggressively it could spread, whether it is like the delta variant or something worse, and maybe most importantly, whether the vaccines we all have now or should have will stand up to it. i want to go straight to the director of the national institutes of health, dr. francis collins. doctor, thank you for joinin

elizabeth: morgan ortagus really went after democrat adam schiff on "the view" yesterday. declassified documents show that adam schiff was told by susan rice in testimony, also we've got sally yates, james clapper, james comey, loretta lynch, he had testimony showing there was no evidence of trump-russia collusion. she called him out on "the view" for spreading conspiracy series. adam schiff dodged by bringing up the capitol riots and ukraine. >> here is the thing really upsetting about what was going on on capitol hill. here is the head of the house intelligence committee. he is privy to all of this information, classified information. they're telling him, hey there is nothing to this steele dossier. trump did not collude with the russians but yet he leaves these classified hearings. scampers off to the press, oh, i have inside information, donald trump is a russian agent. meanwhile the same people testifying to him in closed-door sessions they were going out to the media and they were pumping that same donald trump is a russian agent story. so i think they're all at faul

adam schiff tweeted this in 2017. subpoenas appear to be part of an effort to discredit steele rather than determine the truth of the dossier. the dossier was funded by the dnc and the clinton campaign. tell that to congressman ted who tweeted: jim jordan told fox news this. then i will have you reply. there are so many red flag here i can't keep count. >> yes. adam schiff and swalwell the congressman, this is the political scum that said we have security clearances. we get to see classified nchtion. you -- information. you don't. they ran to the cameras and did media interviews telling people donald trump was colluding with russians to affect the election. guess what? it was the democrats hillary clinton and the clinton campaign that were colluding with russia to affect the campaign and create this facade about donald trump that was absolutely and completely false. how adam schiff has a security clearance let alone be the chairman of the intel committee is beyond me. he lied to the american people. every one of those

and leading off our discussion tonight is democratic congressman adam schiff of california. he is a member of the january 6 select committee, and he is of course the chairman of the house intelligence committee. thank you very much for joining us tonight, congressman schiff. we always appreciate it. >> thank you. great to be with you. >> so question number one is, is everyone around rudy giuliani on january 5th now has been subpoenaed. steve bannon, bernie kerik, jason miller. why hasn't rudy giuliani been subpoenaed? >> we have subpoenaed records involved in communications between giuliani and the white house. the fact that he is not in this group of subpoenas shouldn't imply that we're not interested in his testimony. but in most investigations, you want to interview people around a particular potential witness, gather the facts from them before you interview perhaps a more important witness. so i wouldn't read too much into the fact that he wasn't on this list. we're deeply interested in mr. giuliani and his pivotal role in this plot to overturn the election. because obvi

adam schiff says a decision is imminent on whether they'll refer mark meadows for charges. welcome on this sunday. what more do we know about it? >> reporter: we know that the january 6th select committee interviewed hundreds of witnesses. they issued subpoenas to dozens of the former president's closest allies. we know they referred criminal contempt charges against steve bannon who was indicted by the justice department. now more than a month before the one-year anniversary of the january 6th attack on the capitol, they have to decide who else they will refer criminal charges against. witnesses subpoenaed who do not comply with the committee's subpoenas, they have their focus on meadows right now. let's hear what adam schiff said this morning. >> i can't go into what communications we're having or haven't had with particular witnesses, but we are moving with anyone who obstructs the committee and that was certainly the case with mr. bannon and will be the case with mr. meadows, mr. clark or any others. >> reporter: schiff said they'll make a decision about meadows this we

and finally democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as the leader of the first impeachment trial of president trump. he recently spoke about his book on the author interview program "after words." >> he wouldn't disagree with him and he would have an outside party running the house of representatives and an ethical one to boot. the story as you know that i telling the book i told because it is uncharacteristic. this was in 2010. the midterms were about six months away and we were having an idle conversation about who was going to win the midterms. he said the republicans will win and it started and i was relieved to escape to the movie. we landed and went our separate ways. that night unbeknownst to me in which he told the press everybody knew they were going to win the midterms and atoms admitted republicans were going to win the midterms. so i didn't learn about this until in the morning when the newspaper came out and i was astounded. first of all we were having a private conversation. but if it wasn't, you know i said the opposite. he looks at me as says i know but you

you saw adam schiff there trying to suggest that christopher steele is still innocent in all of this. but, from a lot of the information we have received from the inspector general and durham so far, you know, he has got questionable politics as well. we await and see what else he does to fill in this picture. >> bret: ben, your thoughts? >> i just feel like this is gas lighting all the way down. it's coming back to us and saying how could we have possible known that christopher steele, you know, would have anybody who would lie to him when it came to this miss mash of a dossier that had questions raised about it from the get-go in terms of its accuracy. look, i hope that these investigations continue. i think that professor turley's comments does not seem like the apex indictment. i don't think it will be. but there is so much more that we need to know about what was going on here and for adam schiff to continue to pretend that he is just this naive babe in the woods when it comes to this whole aspect, something that he pushed vociferously without being questioned as he ought to have

>> i'll talk to democratic adam schiff, member of the house committee investigating january 6th. >>> and the kyle rittenhouse trial -- >> there were people right there -- >> could the teen who shot three men, two fatally during a protest in kenosha, wisconsin -- >> i didn't do anything wrong. i defended myself. >> -- be acquitted in part because of a flawed prosecution? >> don't get brazen with me. >>> joining me for insight and analysis are former democratic senator claire mccaskill, matthew continetti of the american enterprise institute, nbc news capitol hill correspondent leigh ann caldwell and eugene scott of "the washington post." welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> and a good sunday morning. so just when democrats thought it was safe to brag about the economy after that healthy jobs report in october, the passage finally of the popular bipartisan infrastructure bill, along came word that inflation surged 6.2% in october, the largest inc

adam schiff is from california and what is he revealing to you about the attack on january 6th on the capitol and plans leading up to it? >> look, they are just trying to get everybody to cooperate. that continues to be the near term fight here, as they are still getting the information they are looking for, the fight over getting the president's former chief of staff to testify and turn over materials, and that might end up going in the same place that the steve bannon situation went to, where it was turned into a criminal complaint. bannon has been indicted. the problem this committee has, though, with which adam schiff did not have a good answer for, okay, the plan appears from the trump folks to delay this as long as possible, and are you prepared to deal with that? at the end of the day it's a political calendar we are on, and if democrats lose control of congress before they finish this investigation, this investigation goes away. >> in so many ways, chuck, you are fighting for the information, and as always, thank you so much for joining us. have a great sunday, and, of course,

and finally democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as the leader of the first impeachment trial of president trump. he recently spoke about his book on the author interview program "after words." >> he wouldn't disagree with him and he would have an outside party running the house of representatives and an ethical one to boot. the story as you know that i telling the book i told because it is uncharacteristic. this was in 2010. the midterms were about six months away and we were having an idle conversation about who was going to win the midterms. he said the republicans will win and it started and i was relieved to escape to the movie. we landed and went our separate ways. that night unbeknownst to me in which he told the press everybody knew they were going to win the midterms and atoms admitted republicans were going to win the midterms. so i didn't learn about this until in the morning when the newspaper came out and i was astounded. first of all we were having a private conversation. but if it wasn't, you know i said the opposite. he looks at me as says i know but you

seems to me adam schiff should be able to do the same thing. everything we said about this over the last several years turned out to be true. >> harris: "the new york times" op-ed points out the situation became complicated because some reporters simply didn't like or trust mr. trump or didn't want to appear to be on his side. he had been berating journalists as charltons while seeking their acclaim. in a perfect world journalists would treat people they don't like the same way they treat people they do like. this is not a perfect world. why can't we know whether or not a journalist likes somebody? why can't they just do a job without holding up a sign? >> speak truth to power. be like tim russert. i don't know how he voted but he held both sides accountable and we would like to see more of that. until adam schiff stops getting booked on every network to promote his book that pushes the lie of trump/russia collusion based on the steele dossier that is pure fiction. until schiff isn't propped up as a truth teller and until news organizations unt

what i think they should focus their efforts on adam schiff and eric swalwell. adam schiff was the chairman of the intel committee. he would walk into the meetings. would walk out of them. i have classified information. i have seen it first-hand. the evidence is there. that was an absolute total and complete lie. it was misreading, misrepresentation of classified information which is against the law. so how, how does hillary clinton be able to do this? because she gets the credibility of nancy pelosi's self-appointed person in adam schiff and it is the most shameful thing in the world, that he continues to have security clearance let alone the actual ability to run that committee and see classified information because of the way he misrepresented it. he should be dismissed, absolutely. elizabeth: you would think that democrats don't want the fbi turned on them, right, as hillary did with trump. that the durham criminal probe would clean out what happened. we had former fbi attorney kevin clinesmith saying things like, viva resistance. we have to get rid of the c

in the wake of the indictment, congressman adam schiff said he thought without a doubt that what just happened to bannon was going to sway other folks to essentially get in line and to start complying. but when you have a steve bannon, who's enjoying it, relishing it, i don't think this is a real surprise to anybody this is how steve bannon is approaching this moment and milking it for all that it's worth. why do you think adam schiff is so confident that this would actually, without a doubt, get others to cooperate? >> well, i think at the end of the day adam schiff and members of the january 6th committee, what they're interested in is receiving whatever information they can. they're not interested in dragging this out. they recognize, i'm sure, if this is still ongoing after the 2022 midterms, republicans will take the house and the committee will be disbanded. i think they're happier to have people feel like they can comply to some extent, provide docu documents they cannot defend as being privileged, to get as much information as they can from as many as possible as quickly as po

adam schiff says whoever is the person that lied to christopher steele should be pros cuted. that was chuck dolan, an associate of the clinton campaign. so how is that prosecution effort going? >> we'll see. but he's saying that the clinton campaign should be pros cuted. frankly everything we've said about this the last several years turned out to be true. the only thing we were wrong about is it was worse than we thought. it went directly to the clinton campaign. at least what we know now, mr. dolan. that's where the lies started. the island that the fbi didn't know this was garbage, i find that hard to believe. we'll see what mr. durham turns up. >> martha: we have a scrolls, the "washington post" -- i wouldn't call it an apology. they're corrections. they went back to all of these stories that we're scrolling on the screen and may have made corrections to dozens of articles, some are broader articles that deal with the russia collusion issues in different places. some of them were on the list that won a pulitzer price, some were not. regardless of that fact, this is under

joining us now is democratic congressman adam schiff of california. he is chair of the house intelligence committee and he's a member of the select committee on the january 6 attack on the capitol. thank you very much for joining us. what is your reaction to what we now know to be the substance of the lawsuit donald trump has brought to try to block this material? >>. >> not at all surprising he wants to block the committee from finding out about his conduct on january 6 and in the days leading up to that date. all of those records are pertinent to our investigation, all those records are pertinent to being able to legislate to protect the country going forward. look, if the trump lawyers don't know it already, they should. their claims have no merit. as you said, lawrence, the sitting president has the authority to assert it or not assert it, so biden is not asserting privilege here. he recognizes that the national security interest is paramount here, that congress should be able to do its work, and one of the amicus briefs that was filed by dozens o

adam schiff either being the ranking minority leader on this intel committee know that the democrats are in charge, he is the head of that committee, giving his prestigious position in the intelligence community, he has given extra special briefing so to speak that are different even from what other members of congress get. so he understands intelligence, he understands how all of this works. so he really took a document that was totally unverified, that had not bent vetted properly by the fbi or anyone, and he promoted it, he defended it, as i pointed out yesterday he read it into the congressional record so because of his stance on the intel committee commit members of the media took this hook, line, and sinker and believed everything he was saying because they thought and he implied this, but they thought oh he's got to have some sort of special access and information we don't know about that proves that the dossier is true. while now we have learned that people are being indicted who were involved in this dossier, they're being indicted for lying and it's quite possible that this

>> i'll talk to democratic member adam schiff. >>> and the kyle rittenhouse trial -- >> there were people right there -- >> could the teen who shot three men, two fatally during a protest in kenosha, wisconsin. >> i didn't do anything wrong. i defended myself. >> -- be acquitted in part because of a flawed prosecution. >> don't get brazen me with me. >>> joining me are former democratic senator claire mccaskill, matthew continetti of the american enterprise institute, nbc news capitol hill correspondent leigh ann caldwell and eugene scott of "the washington post." welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> and a good sunday morning. so just when democrats thought it was safe to brag about the economy after that healthy jobs report in october, the passage finally of the popular bipartisan infrastructure bill, along came word that influgs surged 6.2% in october, the largest increase in 31 years. not only could the inflation spike make it harder for democrats to pass

let's bring in a key member of the committee congressman adam schiff. good to see you, as always, sir. let's start with that. >> good to see you. >> two weeks. no word from the doj. is that too long? >> i don't think it's too long. they do need to study the precedent, the facts of the case. i think it's a pretty straightforward case, though. and i hope that they move with expedition. if the justice department doesn't hold steve bannon accountable, um, it only lends credence to the idea that some people are above the law. and that cannot be true in this country. also, you know, what's at stake is the congress's ability to enforce lawful process. the congress can't be any more successful as a congress than a court could be if a court suddenly lost the power to subpoena witnesses to testify. so, it's going to be really important to whether congress continues to be a coequal branch of government and a check and balance on the executive. >> who do you see as a particularly significant in this new batch of subpoenas and why? >> you know, several are very sign

joining me now, congressman adam schiff of california. he is the chair of the intelligence committee and a member of the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. thank you, congressman. i appreciate you taking the time this evening. >> good to be with you. >> so, you know, we saw what voters said that they care about most in last night elections. they are worried about the economy. they are worried about education, taxes. you are one of the leaders in the party, as i have said, in congress. why isn't your party focusing on these issues that people care about and meeting them where they are? >> well, we are focused on it. indeed, the build back better legislation, the infrastructure bill, and the rescue plan we already passed will be the most significant investment since the new deal. we didn't get those last two bills done, the build back better act and the infrastructure bill. we should have gotten it done by now. we haven't and that's on us. i do tend to agree with president biden. i don't think it would have c

i spoke to adam schiff about it. >> do you think it could have started as routine that could have been weaponized? >> we have so much work yet to do on what is causing this i don't think we're in a position to say who is behind it, why they're behind it. i think there is still large unresolved questions. >> one of the leading theories is that it is microwave directed energy. it was directed in the former soviet union. we have that kind of technology as well. but what are the risks to our diplomats, to our spies? >> you know initially i was hopeful it was psychosymatic, but i never belonger believe that, it looks leek there is semi-permanent damage done to people. the field has evolved rapidly. i assume it is a bad actor, one always suspects the russians, but it is actually going after some of our people, the cia, the embassy personnel. it is concerning. i'm surprise thad we have not sorted out what the energy form is here. >> i know you're going to do something for memorial day. i know you're here for the service tomorrow because we lost collin powell. >> yeah, he was a great man, humb

you hear adam schiff there suggest that, you know, if somebody lied, we should check that out and should be investigated. the problem is that the circle that we have that looks like it's being created here and i want to start with you, andy, the person that lied to the guy that wrote the opposition research dossier was connected to the clinton camp. so if he tells the lie to the writer of the dossier, then the dossier somehow finds itself to the fbi, then the fbi leaks the story that they have the dossier to the press and the press starts writing about it everywhere, what you have then is something that may have been based on a lie that then takes on such a life of its own that it turns into a two-year investigation. i just want to remind everybody at the top here, be patient, andy, because james comey, you know, basically said, we have to tell the president about this. you know, this is really bad, this stuff that we're learning in this dossier. i don't know if it's all true but we better tell him. here's what james comey said. watch. >> i'm about to talk to him about allegations that h
