so the fact that the cheneys were there on the floor, dick and liz cheney were there on the floor to mark this day, sent a very strong signal that this is not a partisan thing, what happened on january 6 is about america. no matter what party you're from. and i think that is an important message that they were sending. >> you also said today that january 6th in your words is not divorced from the 400 plus pieces of voter suppression legislation introduced in the past 365 days. that is a quote from you. how important is it in your view that democrats pass strong voting rights legislation? >> that is the top priority, wolf. because we just have to be clear that this was a concerted effort to overturn the elections and to suppress the vote and those two things are tied together. you do not have 400 pieces of voter suppression legislation introduced across the country unless it is a concerted plan. and so that is why if we don't recognize that january 6 is deeply tied to that voter suppression, then we are missing the boat. and if we don't pass the john lewis voting rights act and the fr

, and his daughter, liz cheney? >> let me know -- it's been a year, but it feels like it was just yesterday. what happened on january 6th, a year, ago i don't think any of us who care about this country, and those who really call a shelves to periods, will ever forget that day. i was extremely disappointed that there were only two republicans there. i spent 20 years as a law enforcement officer and i could not tell you the political party of the -- that i worked with. we had a mission to fulfill, and we were laser focused on that mission. in the worst of times, that's when we are supposed to come together. so, to see no republicans there, when we are commemorating one year after the most vicious attack on america can soil since 1812, was absolutely a shameful. >> the first segment tonight, i showed how a year ago senator mitch mcconnell blamed donald trump personally for the attack on the capitol. kevin mccarthy did to, a year ago. kevin mccarthy was silent today, but listen to what he had to say last year. >> some

and i think liz cheney is absolutely right. she didn't refer to the statute by name, but it's 18 usc 1812 and it forbids a conspiracy or decision to try and obstruct an official proceeding. at this point it's very clear that there needs to be an investigation into higher ups, not just trump but the others around him like bannon and jeffrey clark and john eastman and, yes, congress has been looking at this but we don't know yet whether the justice department is. that's my concern. merrick garland gave a great speech yesterday talking about how nobody is above the law, but there's still no sign that there is an official law enforcement criminal investigation against the higher ups. it might be going on in secret, but a year into this, there's reasons to suspect that it probably isn't going on right now. >> ryan riley, you've been covering over the 700 foot soldiers in the trump attack on democracy on january 6th. danny rodriguez is one of them. that was the person we saw in that video between what mitch mcconnell had to say in hi

today republican congresswoman liz cheney the vice chair of the house select committee investigating the insurrection revealed some members of pence's team are talking to the committee. >> we look forward to continuing the cooperation we've had with members of former vice president's team. and look forward as well to his cooperation. >> how likely is it that the former vice president, himself, will cooperate? >> reporter: jake, i know conventional wisdom is that it would seem unlikely that pence would want to cooperate, but i would not rule it out. i am not suggesting some big, dramatic public hearing but there are other ways pence might be willing to help the committee. keep in mind not only did cheney confirm that team pence's top aides are cooperating with the committee but it appears they really have a good relationship. and we know that his closest advisers would not be cooperating without pence's blessing. my understanding is that while no formal discussions have happened yet, that the committee believes the former vice president played what one source called, quote, a crucial

no republican house members other than liz cheney showed up today, none. many members put out statements and tweets denying the horrors of the day. so the former vice president said, bill, it's not leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was here for ten years. bill, what do you make of republican leadership in washington right now? >> well, it's disappointing to see that people aren't willing to say the truth. we've really seen almost a rewriting of the history of january 6th. and that's not what we should be doing right now. we should be thinking about what we saw, what we remember, and be honest with people and stand as republicans for the truth, and then move forward from 2020 and instead start to talk about the positive vision that we have as republicans for this country. >> secretary, before we go, obviously we all know the infamous phone call you had with president trump where he asked you to find one more vote and said 10,000 dead people voted which you refuted point by point. the former president said to watch biden speaking is hu

cheney and his daughter, january 6th select committee vice chair liz cheney were the only two members of the republican party, elected officials, or former elected officials, present on the house floor for the moment of silence that took place earlier today. a third republican, adam kinzinger said he was unable to attend but was there in spirit. meanwhile some of the biggest figures in republican leadership, kevin mccarthy, lindsey graham and mitch mcconnell are accusing democrats of politicizing the anniversary of the insurrection and not the disgraced expresident who spent months trying to whitewash the insurrection and defend the insurrectionists themselves. what a difference a year makes. here's what some of those very same people said last year when it happened. >> trump and i, we've had a hell of a journey. i hate it to end this way. my god, i hate it. from my point of view, he has been a consequential president. but today, first thing you will see. all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> if this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our

guest: liz cheney is a republican. but the relationship between her and the republicans in the caucus is tense. they have been calls for her to lose all committee positions, they do not like she has taken the spot. it is a tough place for her to be. host: when it comes to the events she's talked about, a lot of the events we will see this week, how do you think this will rub against what you write about as far as relations when they will be visited at length this week? guest: expect to hear how lawmakers have addressed the terrible day in the capitol. when you see members downplaying that day in which people came in and were looking for specific members of congress, calling and saying they wanted to stop the democratic process from happening, in some cases brought weapons, made it democrats and lawmakers feel like their lives are being threatened. expect that to play out. expect democrats and republicans to speak on the house floor on that day. it will talk about that. there is a lot of trauma in the capitol, a lot of

they have a chance as pointed out by liz cheney, the republican. it is a bipartisan committee and things like this rest on evidence, not on politics. historically in this country this goes back 50 years to watergate, once the tapes were released and it was clear to republicans what nixon had done. they abandoned him and turned on him and nixon resigned. as we know, trump's not in office. big question , what is the political course he has chosen, if he has chosen one, will his committee's work have any impact? what's great about this country. we can have the reporting and this committee operating. we can have trump having his say and reporters have their say and you'll see a doctor on talking about the virus, i thought made an excellent point, get out of the prediction game. >> get out of the prediction game. bob, thank you so much. we'll keep our eyes open to see what is going on to get out of the prediction game here. >>> just ahead, a mom who spent two months in a coma, emerging with a message about her change of heart. >>> also, what was going o

the facts are on the side of dick cheney and liz cheney. more than 60 courts rejected claims that there was fraud in the election and many of them led by trump's appointed justices. you have a republican election board two days ago and it's arizona once again said joe biden won in maricopa county. there is no case to be made anymore there was a fraudulent election, there was just fear and some of the pathetic performances we saw yesterday including last night on tv. i don't know how what's it's like to wake up and look at the mirror everyday, is the job that important to you that you are willing to give everything up and sell your soul. the answer is yes to every republican. the former president did put out a statement last night. he lied about the vote in 2020 and other previous presidential election. >> let's bring in jonathan lemire and former chairman of the republican national committee michael steel and author and nbc news, michael beschloss. michael steel, let me ask you as a former head of the republican party, what you thought abou

the only people commemorating this day are the democrats, except for liz cheney. and i think they're about to spar. >> for it's people. >> as compatriots we're too often separated by politics and on this anniversary of national discord and despair, send your healing spirit among us, and tend to the disspiritedness and disagreement here within and around the people us house. this day into your hands we commend our spirits of fear, anger, and uncertainty, and ask that you would revive in us our shared commitment to the county country's highest ideals. the strength, diversity, the strength, and the good. for them countless heros have sacrificed, remind us, inspire us, the aggrieved, the skeptical, the disenfranchised. all of us to hold true and remain worthy of this heritage. we offer the words of abraham lincoln that would would merm with mal lis toward none and charity for all. to bind up the nation's wounds. to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting piece among ourselves. restores this unity and moral purpose. inspire us to live lives ta serve as

it's quite extraordinary to heart words of liz hear the words of liz cheney. she said even ivanka, the former president's daughter, said stop the violence, which certainly implies the former president had the power to end this. so the whole issue of inaction that the daughter said he actually did have the power to stop what was happening. >> that's exactly right. >> what does this mean for the former president's possible legal culpability here? >> well, so in the days of the -- the hours of the event, we hear that ivanka and mark meadows and lindsey graham and kevin mccarthy were all pleading with the president to call this thing off. now, whether his inaction rises to the level of criminal action really depends on his knowledge and intent. so for example, if he knew that the rioters were going to storm the capitol in advance through the war room at the willard hotel and he said, look, guys go storm it, i'm going to sit back and do nothing, meaning i'm not going to call the national guard, i'm not going to call the local police, i'm going to let you have, you

, he is leaving soon, and liz cheney is pointing this out. that's why it leads to our politics -- not the physical violence, of course, but when it comes to our politics a year later, as john avalon said, just looking at history, understanding how america general reacts and reacts to major traumas that unfold on our soil, it's usually a uniting experience. and that unity was fleeting. it lasted for minutes inside the capitol and around the country until the conspiracies and the lies took hold once again. >> congressman dent, earlier on the program we had senator dick durbin and olivia troy. both of them have spoken about how they're more worried today than they were a year ago about the state of democracy. we saw it was a national stress test a year ago, but there were a few guardrails that held. now since then, we've seen everything that's happening on the local level with election officials being replaced by trump cronies. where are you a year later? >> well, i think we should celebrate something for a moment, the fact that our institutions

liz cheney. the only two republicans there. and what the former vice president told our jon karl about the current leadership of the republican party. >>> there is a major winter storm moving into the east tonight. the horrific accidents already. kentucky, tennessee. and overnight and tomorrow, this now hits washington, d.c., philadelphia, new york, hartford, into new england. several inches of snow in many places and rob marciano standing by to time this out. >>> tonight, the pandemic and the new cases of covid now setting records in more than 30 states. this evening, news on teens and boosters. and the american medical association now calling out the cdc on that guidance that you should isolate for just five days. what the doctors' group is now saying about that tonight. and what the ceo of moderna reportedly said today about the possibility of americans needing a fourth covid shot and when. >>> overseas tonight, that deadly revolt in kazakhstan. dozens of anti-government protesters killed. at

cheney and the speaker of the house, take place in nancy pelosi, or liz cheney and other members of the house. what she and adam kinzinger are doing is, listen, i know the majority of our party doesn't believe this but we believe this is something we need to come together on, this is a threat to democracy, it's a threat to all of us here in this house, and all of us broadly as a nation, if we can't confront the facts of that moment. i do want to bring in a couple of other people to this conversation, nbc news senior congressional correspondent garrett haake and nbc news white house correspondent carol lee. carol, we're talking about the speech from the president and how direct it was, and where he laid the blame. it was forceful, he said the former president wasn't just a former president, he was a defeated president, which not very many presidents in our history can say, most of them get a second term and then go off. he was a defeated president, and he made that point very strongly. what is the goal from this speech, of this speech, from this white house? >> well, generally, katy,

liz cheney. the only two republicans there. and what the former vice president told our jon karl about the current leadership of the republican party. >>> there is a major winter storm moving into the east tonight. the horrific accidents already. kentucky, tennessee. and overnight and tomorrow, this now hits washington, d.c., philadelphia, new york, hartford, into new england. several inches of snow in many places and rob marciano standing by to time this out. >>> tonight, the pandemic and the new cases of covid now setting records in more than 30 states. this evening, news on teens and boosters. and the american medical association now calling out the cdc on that guidance that you should isolation for just five days. what the doctors group is now saying about that tonight. and what the ceo of moderna reportedly said today about the possibility of americans getting a fourth covid shot and when. >>> overseas tonight, that deadly revolt in kazakhstan. dozens of anti-government protesters killed. at

you had liz cheney, adam kinz i kinzinger, those are on the committee. is this committee going to get a lot more done because it does not have the typical republican distractions if you had a jim jordan or other trump allies trying to blow it up all the time? >> maybe. maybe. that's in the select committee. if there were a bipartisan independent commission like 9/11, there would be a different ball game. there would be so much credence given to their investigation. it truly was bipartisan. all of the recommendations that they made, because we want to not just understand what happened, but also learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again. all of the recommendations they made were implemented. it's hard to make recommendations out of this select committee, which only has two republicans on it. it's hard to imagine they will be implemented. >> that's why the republican leadership opposed it. it would be unasalable. now it's a democratic-led committee. yes, there are two republicans on it. they can argue it's a bipartisan investigation. >> it made li

you hear liz cheney talk about dereliction of duty. we know this obstruction of congress has been charged on 200 rioters. but donald trump didn't go into the building himself. they need to be able to connect him in a concrete way that will hold up in court if they are going to make a criminal referral in this case. the other thing they are trying to do, of course, and i think liz cheney made this argument, and so did benny thompson, is even if you can't find the exact criminal statute to make a referral in this case, you can talk about the ethical and moral obligations to intervene. soliz cheney is still trying to recapture the republican party from donald trump. it might seem like an impossible battles, a losing strategy, something that can't be done, but she's out there fighting for it. she's trying to take back her party, her dad's party, in the process of this case f. they do find out that they can prove a criminal referral, they say they will make it. >> you know, i mean, claire, there is no republican party in bed with donald tru

you were friends with liz cheney. you endorsed her, i think in 2016, and supported her, right? >> yes. and the majority of wyoming did. a lot of people in wyoming supported her but they don't anymore. what she's done since last year, she's as adversarial to the republican party as is nancy pelosi. she's not doing what we sent her to washington, d.c. to do. >> sean: if you care about protecting the capitol and i do, and i said so that day. i said it on radio as it was unfolding and i said it on this tv show. if you care about stopping the violence like in the summer of 2020, in this case don't you need to ask the speaker of the house why she declined the troops that were legally approved by donald trump in front of the joint chiefs, secretary of defense, chief-of-staff, defense department chief-of-staff, why wouldn't they call in her, why aren't they calling in the d.c. mayor, why aren't they demanding their emails before that day and after? why are they giving her a pass and why is she off-limits? >> i think we know the answer to that question, sean, or those questions, very si

liz cheney joined the january 6 investigation. now she is gaining power and is getting the last laugh. or at least a laugh. we'll see if it's the last one. mccarthy was asked about his testimony and what he knew about the insurrection. cheney said this. >> we know that leader mccarthy was pleading with the president to tell people to go home when police officers and others were being beaten here at the capitol. so, you know, i wish that he were a brave and honorable man. he's clearly trying to cover up what happened. he has an obligation to come forward, and we'll get to the truth. >> congressman adam schiff, dem democrat of california, is a member of that committee. congressman, why is it so important to talk to congressman mccarthy? >> well, mccarthy, by his own admission, was on the phone with the president on january 6. and as liz cheney said, trying to get the president to intervene and stop the violence, and yet the president did nothing for such a long time. mccarthy has said, sometimes in a self-serving way, what he said i

i still think she should team up with liz cheney. that would be really fun. >> i don't think that's going to happen. >> laura: that's not going to happen. last night we showed you a hot mic moment. revealing the real dr. fauci. >> you are totally incorrect. >> senator marshall, dr. fauci has answered you and is public information and he's happy to give it to you if you would ask. >> what a more ran, jesus christ. >> laura: did fauci apologize for insulting a sitting member of congress? of course not. he doubled down. >> he was implying that maybe i was making investments, sort of like ahead of the game here. and he made the statement that we can't get the financial statement. it was stunning to me that a united states senator doesn't realize that my financial statement is public knowledge. it was like, where have you been? >> laura: joining me now is kansas senator roger marshall who is also an m.d. senator, you are onto something. is that why you believe he reacted the way he did? are fauci's financial disclosures complete? in your

and today, i hate to break the news to liz cheney but we are more united than ever while the failures of the hard leftist establishment she is in bed with rows more obvious by the day. so the movemento is of optimism and of hope and it's time to take this movement that includes our four planks laid out tonight to every corner of the country. and that is "the ingraham angle." jim jordan, ranking member of house judiciary committee and indiana congressman jim banks, chairman of the public study committee, jim jordan, your reaction to "the ingraham angle." >> right on target and this is america we are always optimistic. but you captured it, the democrats with every principle that we have. think about what they've done just this past year in congress. they close the capital and then acted and kicked the republicans off of committee and wouldn't let republicans on the select committee, trying to end the electoral college and the filibuster, trying to pack the court and nationalize elections as you talked about my trying to let illegal immigrants vote and doing that and some locale and fina

today congresswoman liz cheney, a republican, on the select committee, reviewing they have first-hand knowledge about former president trump's actions or lack thereof during the attack. >> the committee has first-hand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television as the assault on the capitol occurred. members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television to tell people to stop. we know leader mccarthy was pleading with him to do that. we know members of his family, we know his daughter. we have first-hand testimony that his daughter ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. >> this first-hand testimony means that despite all the headlines about who isn't talking to the committee, is not is, and that is not was in the white house witnessing the commander in chief refusing to do anything as he watched this for more than three years, news coverage of the attack. live video of a crowd of his supporters depending on the capitol scaling the walls, assaulting police officers, chanting for

one notable exception, former vice president dick cheney, who joined his daughter congresswoman liz cheney in the house chamber today and slammed g.o.p. leaders for their absence. >> it's not a leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was there. >> reporter: former president trump perpetuated his election lies today in three separate statements, falsely claiming the race was rigged and a crime. even now, he's urging his supporters to never forget and never give up. president biden urged americans to reject that message. >> you can't love your country only when you win. you can't obey the law only when it's convenient. >> reporter: late today, we learned that vice president kamala harris was among those who had to be evacuated on that day from the democratic national committee headquarters just a few blocks from here. to this date, we donate know who left the pipe bombs at the dnc and rnc building but the timers malfunctioned and the bombs didn't go off. >> o'donnell: nancy cordes, thank you so much. well, the justice department focused on those who stormed the building and

it's not okay. >> i want to bring in chris christie, ask what i asked liz cheney. she seemed to be leaning in that president trump was criminally negligent. >> it seemed that way to me too. listening to what she had to say. look, i had a rule when i was a u.s. attorney when you were dealing with a high-profile potential defendant. it better be a head shot. it better be a head shot. you better be able to take the person out without any -- forget beyond a reasonable doubt, and the fact is that what justice department officials are going to have to decide here ultimately is do they have that? they better make sure they do because it will be an enormously politicized trial if they do or not, and you have to have the american people have confidence in the american judicial system. we've seen it happening now. we've seen some of these police trials that have been going on, and the american people are again, having their confidence restored in the judicial system in this country and that's going to take time. we don't need to do something that undermines that. let's look

liz cheney is a prime example. my colleague couldn't be more accurate that moment of bipartisan if you will was fleet, unfortunately. there was a moment there where i thought we all would come together and do what was necessary to safeguard our republic. unfortunately, former president trump, very much has a stranglehold on much of the republican party as it exists today so many of my colleagues, president obama said today know better, nonetheless to perpetrate these lies and misinformation. it will be a long road ahead. it will take people to stip on both sides of the aisle to step up and say the truth on january 6th. yeah, the environment here as you know couldn't be more polarizing. to some extent, this existed before january 6th. but it has accelerated in ways none of us could imagine. >> there is a difference between pol polarization, exactly the goal. that is what republicans, most of them. they should be applauded with courage, they're trying to white wash, make the case this was just another day in a messed

congresswoman liz cheney giving these new details on the evidence gathered, so far. >> the committee has firsthand testimony that president trump was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching on television as the capitol was assaulted, as the violence occurred. we have firsthand testimony that his daughter ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. >> ryan nobles is out front live from capitol hill. you know, ryan, obviously, this significant right now. right now, she is not saying reports or hearsay. i mean, she is saying, right, firsthand accounts. that -- that carries with it a legal level, right, that's very different than sources. what else is the committee saying about trump's actions on that day? >> well, erin, it's very clear that the committee is specifically interested in the inaction of the former president during the period of time bwher he his supporters broke into the capitol and when the former president finally sent out a message telling them to go home. that inaction in that period of time is what the committee believes h

and there was also a message from the president's son, read out by liz cheney. donald trumertexted, again and again, urging action by the president. "we need an oval office address. he has to lead now. it has gone too far and gotten out of hand." other messages were received the day before the attack. fox news host sean hannity said... you could argue he was right to be concerned. and the committee is requesting an interview with mr hannity. but there's one key figure whose testimony and evidence remains elusive. former president trump has perhaps, unsurprisingly, refused to cooperate. he's taken legal action to block the release of official white house communication records. and these delays mean it's not certain the committee will finish its work before the mid—term elections in november. and the politics of this remain farfrom predictable. while many condemned what happened onjanuary the 6th, the idea that underpinned it remains. a year on from the storming of the capitol, polls show two thirds of republicans believe voter fraud helped joe biden to win. giv

the republicans are a much different party now and dick cheney and liz cheney are on the outs with much of this party and mostly because of january 6th and the efforts by her -- by his daughter to investigate what happened, the push -- how she was pushed out by the republican leadership because of her war of words with donald trump, and dick cheney, too, made clear his disappointment with republican leaders for not commemorating the events of the day. >> it's not a leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was here for ten years. >> reporter: so, he said, it's not leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was here for ten years. and he went on to say, in a statement that was released just moments ago, that he's deputily disappointed by many in his party who do not recognize the gravity of the nature of that day, but in reflecting back on what happened at that time, when we were -- after we were evacuated from this building to a secure location, we came out after the senators were evacuated themselves and they were escorted back to the senate to continue the

. >> tucker: can you imagine why someone like liz cheney but let's be honest, virtually every republican leader in congress has ignored this. why would they not want to get to the bottom of such an obvious and important question? >> well, because what the evidence suggests is arguably one of the biggest scandals in american history. left alone, january 6th is a big nothing burger but if it turns out that some of the key instigators in the key figures who played a role in turning this from a rally into a riot are actually informants of the government or even agents of the government, this is extremely to the elements of the government and it is completely destroyed it's a false narrative they are trying to engineer on the basis of this story, which is that trump supporter's are effectively domestic terrorists. >> tucker: i don't want to believe that is true but if it is not sure what is the other answer? i don't think anyone watching should feel embarrassed to watck this question to let anyone break you into science by calling conspiracy.

. >> and this is as liz cheney said yesterday trump was sitting in the dining room watching the attack on tv. and that his daughter ivanka asked him at least twice to stop the violence. manu raju has been following the committee's next steps. so specifically, who gave this warning and this shows kind of a breaking of trump's circle, here, right, that the committee has penetrated had circle. >> reporter: even though there are a number of people who have refused to testify, tried to take the committee to court, people like mark meadows, there are some who are giving firsthand information. key information. letting the committee know exactly what was happening and what was not happening at the white house at the time. and now what we are learning is that ivanka trump went directly to the then president urging him to stop the violence according to liz cheney. trump herself was being urged by some people outside of the white house and people close to donald trump at the time to argue to push the then president to act. one of those people lindsey graham told me last month that he did call iva

watching liz cheney. i worked with her after 9/11 and for the politically polarizing years and decisions that followed. liz cheney is cheating trumpism as the threat that christopher wray told us that it is. it is a threat, ongoing, renewed and homeland security bulletins multiple times and the difference between how liz cheney is looking at trumpism and trump is that unless you hold the person at the top the head of the fish or however the mafia sort of cliches go, everyone underneath thinks that they can operate with immunity and the importance of holding trump accountable is so the steven millers and mark meadows of the world see a president is not above the law trying to illegally overturn the will of the country in not just any country but what is supposed to be the greater democracy in the world. i said this at the top of the show. we have to stop covering it with disappointment and bewilderment. it's looked at through a political lens and not a security lens. i wonder if you think the committee is

even the president's daughter stepping in according to liz cheney. manu raju is live on capitol hill for more. and we did seem to learn quite a bit more just yesterday. what more are they saying? >> reporter: yeah, it is clear that they are getting cooperation coming from key people within donald trump's inner circle. even though there are a number of people within that inner circle fighting the committee, people like mark meadows trying to battle to get him to testify. but some are providing information including what gonzalez cheney revealed yet was that ivanka trump, the president's daughter, went to him directly and made clear that he should do something to stop the violence. what people are talking about now, the committee is talking about what the president did and did not do on january 6th and what was revealed is that he was watching what was happening on tv. >> the committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television as the assault on the capitol occurred. memb

katie, i hate to belabor the point this liz cheney thing cracks me up. i don't know any republican politician right now with less charisma than liz cheney. maybe if you put other bad ideas aside and ler aligning with the democrats, she is just not likeable. >> well, this idea of her running as a vice presidential candidate with joe biden comes from joe biden's failure to unify his party and the fact that he is losing voters left and right. independence are fleeing from him. hispanics are fleeing in droves from the democratic party. and so now people on the left and people in the media are trying to find a coalition that they can glom on to. and a coalition they have found is this never trump sliver that is now partnering with the democrats and that's what they are going for. that explains this idea of them taking someone like liz cheney and plugging them in with joe biden. >> rachel: yeah. she has got to save herself in wyoming, first. i don't think she can do that let alone save joe biden. all right, katie, stephen, great talk to you tonight. >> thank y

and punish any deviation from doctrine. >> well, there are two, liz cheney and adam kinzinger, those are the only two who deviate from what bart is talking about. let me show you what adam kinzinger says he is going to do when he leaves congress. >> if the past 12 months taught me anything, it's that saving america is the fight of our lives. this time last year i hoped victory would come in a matter of months. now i see it will take years. that's why i am transitioning from serving just one corner of illinois into fighting this new nationwide mission full-time. what we do in the days ahead will determine whether america moves away from january 6th or moves towards an even bigger crisis. it matters how we vote, not just in the big elections, but in primaries, too. >> carol, this is so nuanced, but it's so important. this is one of the two republicans serving on the 1/6 committee. the committee now has eyes inside the room of what donald trump did and didn't do. we have been reporting your reporting, you and phil, you were really were the first two to report out what we understand trum

as you know, i believe his text messages were among the many that liz cheney read from. data dump they received from meadows before he defied the subpoena. he did over text messages he'd received from fox news anchors, trump family members. one was hannity and schiff confirming that the committee would like for hannity to voluntarily meet with them. the people close to the president that they are interested in, that they have engaged, is really, really getting closer and closers to donald trump. >> that's true. you can see this is a committee that's ramping up its work, trying to close in on that inner circle of former president trump and to really understand who was talking to him and who he respected enough to weigh their opinion. hannity, for anyone who has covered president trump, everyone knows he is someone he is in the president's orbit. it's also a reminder that fox news, while it's supposed to be a cable news channel and really the host on there. especially the late night opinion hosts on there. they've been in some ways more powerful than the elected official.

liz cheney says the committee has firsthand knowledge of what the former president was doing. walk us through what we know. >> so, first of all, this is bad news for donald trump because firsthand testimony is someone in the rom, firsthand. now what we've learned is in addition to what congresswoman cheney said, a person with knowledge of the investigation has told me that the january 6th committee has information from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge, so it's more than one place and that they describe what president trump was saying, what he was doing and maybe most importantly what he was not doing during the riot. the source said, john, quote. there's a collection of people with relevant information. so translation, firsthand indicates someone with direct contact or none. it could be someone who was in the room, someone who is on the phone, but bottom line the committee, john, has broken through trump's wall. >> so if they have broken through the wall, james, who might some of these people be, the star witnesses, full. >> there's one very public who we know and one

. >> here is liz cheney with more on what that committee is learning. >> the committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the attack on television. as the assault on the capitol occurred. members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television, to tell people to stop, we know leader mccarthy was pleading with him to do that. we know members of his family, his daughter, we have firsthand testimony that his daughter ivanka went in at least twice to ask him please to stop this violence. >> lonet's bring in gloria borg and ronaldo imoti. for all of the people that are obstructing and suing to keep testimony and documents from the committee, that are members of this inner circle that are talking and that wall is not holding up. >> everything is unraveling for those people because for every email or text, they refused to share, there is someone who texted them or there is someone they shared some information with and so what the committee is doing is kind of what reporters do. which is trying to sort of get the full p
