. >> officer fanone, shortly after the attack, house republican leader kevin mccarthy blamed trump for the mob. he has since backed off that and tried to help him with that and is now part of the sinister brigades. many are blaming donald trump for what happened. do you blame donald trump? >> absolutely. donald trump and his administration are responsible for inciting the insurrection and the attack on the capitol. and our democratic process, and in a lot of ways, inciting a cultural war that we're still battling today in america. >> officer dunn, what did it mean for you to hear the president say today? >> i think the president spoke the truth. i'm very fact-based, truth-oriented and i appreciate him telling the truth. i wish it would have come a little sooner, but i'm very glad he did speak the truth, because i think honestly all americans should care about the truth and nobody's opinions lay out the facts of what happened. that's your opinion, and then if someone starts disagreeing with the facts, you accordingly deal with that person. but i appreciate the facts he gave. >> before t

this is what kevin mccarthy sound like a year ago this month. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. >> the mob was fed lies. they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. >> and mcconnell doesn't talk about this much but hasn't changed his position. mccarthy, i don't even recognize him in that clip. he completely sounds different, david. >> yeah, here's the depressing truth, jake. if you look at the data, even right after january 6th, there were two republicans whose approval ratings plunged with republican voters and one whose approval ratings remain sky high. the one whose approval remained sky high was donald trump. the two republicans whose approval ratings plunged after january 6th, mike pence, mitch mcconnell. in other words, the message was sent very loud and clear from the base to the party establishment that you have to stick with donald trump, and these guys have heard that and they responded to that. and that's sad. >> ana navarro, f

mccarthy said. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump. >> reporter: chief washington correspondent jonathan karl is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the committee wanted to talk to mccarthy because they believe he is uniquely qualified to talk about donald trump's state of mind while the riot was under way on january 6th. they are particularly interested in a heated phone conversation that mccarthy had with trump shortly after he was evacuated from the capitol and rioters were still in the building. i described that conversation in detail in my book, "betrayal" including mccarthy's reaction when trump tells him he is just upset because the rioters care more about the election than he does. i just got evacuated from the capitol, mccarthy told trump, there were shots fired off the house floor. you need to make this stop. mccarthy told abc news, michael,

mccarthy. they're requesting records in the committee also asking for information about mccarthy's information about conversations with president trump before, during and after the insurrection we learned the former white house press secretary met virtually with the january 6th committee today. we have no word from the committee on how that went >>> a sentencing date proposed for elizabeth holmes the specific reason lawyers from both side wants to wait dods her fate and the tv show putting her case in focus tonight. >>> frightened passengers describe seeing nothing and hearing only screams one woman said she was shoved aside while trying to escape ten years later, stories from survivors of the costa concordia. >>> first t late senator harry reid's coffin left the capitol a few hours ago. his body lay in state while respects were paid plans for his burial have not been announced he died last month he was 82. ♪ >> my friends, we celebrate harry mason reid's final return to capitol because we mu

here with more house minority leader kevin mccarthy. >> rep. mccarthy: it's more then danger what he did last night. remember, he left hundreds behind in afghanistan. now, with his comments with ukraine, there's going to be more blood on his hands. this is not just a slip up, a slight of tongue. this is damaging beyond damaging. this is putting a threat in. remember what's happening. this is the 100th year of the creation of the soviet union. putin wants to put all the country back together again. why do you think he wouldn't enter now and he's been given a pipeline, but america was denied a pipeline question mike why do you think he couldn't enter now, when he watched the president of the united states actually saidd enter? >> hannity: let me ask you specifically what the possible ramifications for this is a period when i heard "minor incursion," i nearly fell off the chair. i couldn't believe what i was hearing. more importantly, he's outperformed expectations pure he's had the most successful first year as president. i will go through that r

so did lindsey graham the day of, kevin mccarthy said the right thing. as time went on, they have a gravitational pull to mar-a-lago. they are now all still genullecting. could it be worse? of course, it could be, it sure could be a hell of a lot better. >> he is in a far different place than lindsey graham or kevin mccarthy are regarding january 6th. meanwhile, it's now been more than 40 days since a criminal referral for a former white house chief of staff mark meadows to the justice department, recommending he be charged with contempt of congress, however, no action has yet been taken. dave erinberg. what do you think about this with mark meadows after they did wit steve bannon? >> joe, i just got back from washington, d.c. cal capitol conference. i asked her point blank if the supreme court's definitive ruling on executive privilege would impact the mark meadows' consideration, impact her decision on whether or not to indict mark meadows. she said the supreme court decision would have an impact on january 6th defendants. she didn't specifically menti

joining me tonight, house minority leader kevin mccarthy, soon to be speaker of the house, we like to say. kevin, you saw what we just put out there. are you seeing seeing? is this happening at the southern border? >> rep. mccarthy: it's happening, but it's even worse. what's going on goes even further. people are coming here illegally with unbelievable numbers. i took a group of republican congressmen down there a year ago last february. what we discovered -- when you talk to individuals coming across and asked them why they came, they said "because joe biden advised me." they believed that based upon what he said. it's not just that. if you talk to mayors of those cities, they have closed schools for more than 41 days because the cartels are having shoot-outs coming across the border. the fentanyl is coming from china. i have a senator who told me before covid, they were on a task to china. there is a general and the chinese army that said "america is weak, because you believe in god and take fentanyl." you know what's happening? there are no longer any border cities. every city is

kevin mccarthy this morning, the next speaker of the house promptly issued a list of things we stand for. i am working with a lot of different people, including kevin, on what we could do. there's huge potential for a republican contract this year much like we had in 94. i have not particularly been in favor of one in the recent past, but i think this is the year where we ought to come out and say here are 10 big things will do. this is what you can count on . and frankly, a number of them can be done no matter what biden does. so you can design it in a way that it has a huge impact. i do think we have to run a positive alternative. it's not enough just to be anti biden. that's why my most recent book was called beyond biden because i think the country is worried . the biggest thing i would bring to bear, particularly after this last press conference by vice president biden is this is not just political. this is historic. we have the weakest president in modern times who openly said it was okay for the russians to take a piece of ukraine and then had to spend the next twenty four hou

i focus on building the house with all the money kevin mccarthy is raising he is doing. right now republicans are well-poised even if they don't have a great year a year-by-year in move. >> bill: brad a getting a chuckle. can you stop the bleeding, brad? look, first of all the 2010 analogy i don't think it works quite as well. first let's take the retirements. a lot of retirements we've seen are out of state seats, seats we'll nominate a democrat and they will win anyone. in 2010 we had 9 1/2% unemployment going into election day. we've seen the unemployment rate drop three years faster than predicted. four points down when biden took office. created 6 1/2 million jobs. the situation is completely different. we have a record to run on. dccc is raising record amounts of money and the republicans have nothing to run on. they didn't vote for the american rescue plan that put the economy on supercharge that created jobs and raised wages and put shots in arms and checks in banks. most of them voted against the infrastructure bill. democrats will break ground on infrastructure

. >> tucker: i hope you convince kevin mccarthy to shut it down because it's not acceptable. congressman armstrong, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: across the country colleges and universities, many of which are going out of business, are mandating coronavirus booster shots before they go bankrupt. one student talks about this, joining us next. d think retiremt would be the last thing on my mind. hey mom, can i go play video games? sure, after homework. thankfully, voya provides comprehensive solutions and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. what's the wifi password again? here...you...go. cool. thanks. no problem. voya helps me feel like i've got it all under control. because i do. oh she is good. voya. well planned. i will bless those who bless you well invested. well protected. here in israel and the former soviet union the jewish people are living in very difficult times. there are now thousands of destitute elderly jews who are desperately in need of basic food. the international fellowship of christians and jews

and so in 2023, when all this starts up again and republicans start as we've seen with kevin mccarthy and others, you know, doing retribution legislation against democrats, et cetera, y'all got nothing to say. that's what you vote for. and so this -- >> yeah. >> this piece in the criminal justice part is just an extension of all of that. >> right. >> if the people are not holding folks accountable, the justice system will look at it and go, well -- >> right. no. i think that's very important. that's why we're shining a light on it. it is up to the people and voters at the end of the day. michael and paul, i want to thank you both. coming up, we have president biden speaking out today on how to end obstruction in the senate. barbara boxer is here. and our interview with the prosecutor overseeing the trump probe and later xeeven colbert getting in on, well, the coup plot. >> navaro was on msnbc last night. i haven't seen criminal activity so clearly explained on tv by the criminal since rachael ray welcomed co-host jeffery dahmer. welcomed co-host jeffery dahmer. . more delicious, farm-

why did kevin mccarthy change his tune so dramatically? did someone from trump world get in his ear. did they tell him to change his story? did they tell him to stop speaking out about their private interactions? those are the type of questions that the committee wants to ask kevin mccarthy. but he is refusing to cooperate with the investigation. he says it is just political and that he has nothing relevant to offer. so we'll see whether the committee actually does subpoena for that information. >> that sound there, kevin mccarthy saying in so many words, one, trump admitted some responsibility and, two, he wanted a bipartisan commission. two things he's since gone back on. >> and completely different story from him yesterday saying he was more focused on security, right, and how that insurrection could happen. incredible reporting there. thank you so much. >>> still to come, more on the seditious conspiracy charges for the oath keepers' role in the january 6th attack. will this lead to even bigger targets in the doj's investigation? >> ho

axios is reporting that kevin mccarthy is signaling he'll institutionalize key trump authorities. gene robinson, it seems like a platform that does not have a lot of issues kpep for pushing people away or some would see it as hate. what's the platform there that we are hearing from trump or mccarthy? >> there is no platform. the republican party has not had a platform for some time. they had no platform to run in the 2020 elections. just astounding, right? every election cycles and each party spends pain staking hours and weeks and months putting together a platform. it's executive pirates and the republican party last year or two years ago said we are for donald trump. we are for whatever trump wants. that was the whole platform. that was the whole party. it has no legislative program. this is an absent that i think politically democrats at least need to try to exploit by pressing republicans, okay, what would you want to do? what do you want to do if you have power? well, what do you want to accomplish? this bill or that bill or this issue or that issue? and the answer is there

um, you know, you have house republican leader kevin mccarthy said today that if the gop wins back the house later-this year, he will seek to kick you and two of your democratic colleagues out, adam schiff and ilhan omar, off your committees in retaliation for democrats kicking two fringe republicans off their committees -- marjorie taylor greene, spreading hateful conspiracy theories, qanon theories, and paul gosar for posting a video depicting the ail kiloling of alexandria cortz in anime. what do you make of what mccarthy said? >> he spends a lot of thinking about and talking about me and mr. schiff and i will say this. we are thinking and talking about helping people and focussing on winning midterms. he is targeting me, targeting schiff, and targeting ms. omar because we are effective. not for any other reason and this is the trumpization of politics, right? he is doing it purely for retaliation purposes and he is not even offering a fig leaf as to yes, sir doing it. it is just because we are calling him out for the ku klux klan elements that he has in his caucus, who he won't cal

kevin mccarthy did, too, a year ago. kevin mccarthy was silent today. but let's listen to what kevin mccarthy said last year. >> some say the riots were caused by antifa. there's absolutely no evidence of that. and conservatives should be the first to say so. the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump. accept his share of responsibility. quell the brewing unrest. and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. and the president's immediate action also deserves congressional action, which is why i think a fact-finding commission and a censure resolution would be predunt. >> so he was opposed to impeaching the president at that point, but he wanted to censure the president of the united states, who he is now in service to everyday, the former president. >> well, lawrence, you know, sadly i talked about people like kevin mccarthy today. those who have forgott

i've been very public, but i wouldn't hide from anything. >> reporter: no response yet from kevin mccarthy to the committee's request, but in a reminder that others close to trump are cooperating with the committee, we learned that kaylie mcani today did answer questions from the committee investigators. david? >> jonathan karl on this again tonight. jon, thank you. >>> meanwhile, here in new york city tonight, a major setback for britain's bring andrew. a federal judge issuing a blow, refusing to dismiss a lawsuit, claiming the prince sexually assaulted an american woman when she was 17. all of this the continuing fallout from jeffrey epstein. abc's james longman on what happens next now. >> reporter: tonight, a major legal setback for prince andrew. a federal judge in new york has now allowed virginia roberts giuffre to go forward with her civil sex abuse case against him. the judge denying a motion by the prince's lawyers to have it thrown out. their claim was largely based on language in a 2009 settlement between giuffre and convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein, that included a claus

. >> when you look back at what kevin mccarthy, mitch mcconnell said,. >> stephen: lindsey graham. it's as excoriating as anything. i was reading today prepared to say what the republicans said a year ago. mitch mcconnell said the president led to a domestic terror attack by lying to the mob, that he incited it, kevin mccarty said. that's a job when the president incites riot at the capitol. that's not something you forget. >> stephen: we have to take a quick break. stick around, back with more john dickerson, everybody.

the "washington examiner" reporting in a letter house minority leader kevin mccarthy and a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including 60 republicans, urged president joe biden's top trade official to expand tariff exclusions on chinese goods. [laughs] joining me now is former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategic strategy and forced of elements under president trump. also the author of the strategy of denial. this doesn't seem like the right time to be taking economic pressure off china now that we just learned we had a $1 trillion overall trade deficit last year. your thoughts. >> great to be with you, laura. i think in general you're absolutely right, we should not be removing any leverage. i think what president trump and the administration that he led really shifted correctly on was understanding that this is not purely a commercial situation with china, it is intimately connected to our national security and it's been associated with the deindustrialization enter mentis number of problems our country faces. so look, there are countries out there, we are going to trade

kevin mccarthy is the weakest congressional leader of either party in decades. he is not rooted in principles or values or the truth. we all remember when he went on fox news and boasted about how the benghazi inquiries, which were supposed to be about national security, had tarnished hillary clinton's poll ratings. he pushed liz cheney out of leadership for telling the truth about the 2020 election. on january 6th when the insurrection was going on he thought his personal survival and advancement required him to condemn donald trump so that's what he did. later when he realized that was going to harm his ambition to remain as the republican leader and become speaker if they win the house he went down to mar-a-lago and turned tail and is telling a different story. same thing on whether he is going to cooperate with the committee. yeah, he said, sure i'll cooperate. now he says he won't. the question is now whether the committee can compel him with a subpoena to cooperate and of course if he does cooperate whether he tells the truth. there is no assurance he'll d

that's an admission of some culpability by donald trump to kevin mccarthy. and the committee is right to be very much focused on that. that was the old mccarthy, before his voyage down to mar-a-lago, he seems to have emerged as a different person with a different take on the facts and reality. >> do you think this could potentially be a gift from mccarthy, could he use this to try to prove his loyalty to trump? >> i'm sure, wolf. i think we've seen him and other republicans do that in various settings around the january 6th investigations over and over. i think that trump knows that mccarthy needs trump's help to become the next speaker, i think he wants to be the next speaker, and at this moment the climate looks good for republicans in the midterms. so mccarthy is looking towards the future. yes, it can help him politically, but in terms of trying to record the history of what happened, he's not participating with his own colleagues. and i think that will continue to at least come up among some people over the next couple of years. >> i totally agree. elie

>> i think you are going to see kevin mccarthy -- i think you're going to see a big majority in the senate. if the trafalgar numbers stick or get bigger, you're talking about a tsunami. it would be the largest republican majority at least in 100 years and i think it would be a stunning moment. this coming election night may be as exciting for us as the one we spent together in 1994. i think the key is two fold. you want to run if i could a two cited election. big government socialism isn't working, go to any gas station, go to any grocery store, ask people as they look at the empty shelves, it's not working. second, republicans have to have and this is where you and i are in total agreement, we need a new contract. we need a new positive statement that really affects people's lives and says to them you elect us, we are going to work to make your life better and i think we can have a big impact on that and that's exactly where kevin mccarthy is. >> sean: what you're saying is nationalizing the elections. you had a backbone and you would fight, that's what made you successful and you were th

meanwhile, house minority leader kevin mccarthy is doubling down on his decision not to cooperate with lawmakers investigating the attack. lauren lister has the latest. >> founder and leader of the far-right militia group, the oath keepers. 56 year-old stewart rhodes arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the january 6th capitol attack. he's the highest ranking member of an extremist group arrested in connection with the deadly riot is among the most serious charges. >> we've seen so far, but i think it the extraordinary danger to the country posed by a violent attack on a peaceful transfer of power. roads did not enter the capitol building january 6th, but he's accused of helping put into motion the violence that disrupted certification of the 2020 presidential election least charges indicate that just for many casting of burnett. >> meantime, as a house committee investigates the insurrection minority leader kevin mccarthy refusing to cooperate with the panel's request for an interview and to turn over records concerning the riot. because i think he has an

take minority leader kevin mccarthy here for a moment who thought playing dumb would actually work when asked about trump's culpability for the insurrection. >> you're disclosing private conversations. did you tell house republicans on the january 11th phone call he bore some responsibility for january 6 as thompson's letter indicates? >> i'm not sure what call you're talking about. >> oh, you're not sure, congressman? really? don't worry. here you are in your own words on january 13th, 2021. watch. >> i say he has responsibility. he told me personally that he does have some responsibility. i think a lot of people do. >> now, mccarthy isn't the only member of the gop trying to rewrite history right in front of our faces and gaslighting us all. on friday, former vice-president mike pence broke his silence on the january 6th attack to come out against changes to the filibuster, believe it or not. in a new op-ed pence wrote, in part, democrats plan to end the filibuster to, quote, pass a bill nationalizing our elections, would offend the founders' intention that states conduct elections ju

kevin mccarthy did not even issue a statement. it is a very difficult day. republicans did not do well. yamiche: it is an unusually dangerous time. you immediately began reporting about how rioters broke in. what have we leaed about the possible role of lawmakers or president trump in this attack? >> i immediately began getting leads from my law enforcement sources. i really had no idea. what we have learned is so important. there was great investigative work. things that the january 6 committee is now corroborating. they are making it admissible evidence. so is the fbi. donald trump was sitting on his hands for more than 2.5 hours watching gleefully as his supporters broke through a police line. as they took bear spray into a radios and other weapons and began attacking police. his only concern came when he found out things had gotten violent. and someone had been shot. she was breaking through the glass into speak -- speaker pelosi's lobby. that is when president trump became concerned that this did not look so good. now lawmakers say it was just a tourist

mccarthy of bakersfield. now the january 6 committee. they want to discuss his conversations with former president trump before during and after the insurrection. they also want him to turn over his communications with former white house chief of staff mark meadows. the committee is seeking macarthur's voluntary cooperation. but he has rejected that request last night saying that their investigation is not legitimate. committee members did meet online yesterday with trump white house press secretary kaley mcenany. mary. she was subpoenaed back in november. and right now we are going to turn our attention to mental health. talking with doctor brenda wade about so many people are very much struggling in regards to omicron variant. doctor, wait, are you there with us? so we know that this has been a very difficult time for 2 years. and now we're dealing with this variant. we're hearing that schools may go virtual. we are having tests. kids are being sent home with tests. i mean, this is this is some difficult st

mccarthy says he will not cooperate with the january 6 to probe the committee also asked to meet with you to discuss your communications with president trump. you signed to the january 6 the ranking member smith letter for asking for evidence you haveel not gotten an answer. what can you tell us? >> what first of all i think anyone with common sense to be reluctant to go talk to this committee. they've already proven they will alter evidence in life to the american people about it. got to question but they are up to wheno they prove they will do that. and second, i think everyone in the. country sees this as an political operation. they do not want him to run again. president trump i think is going to run again i think is going to win. that is what this is designed to do. as you rightly point out, maria maria they will not look at the one person the speaker the house and her responsibility. the chairman of the committee is basically said she is off limits and she is the one responsible for the security of the united stateses capitol. state aren't congressmen good to see this morning t

. >> david a hit to house minority leader kevin mccarthy and congressman jim jordan for refusing to just roll over to the demands of nancy pelosi's generous six committee. i was initially hopeful this committee would give us the facts of the day. but it is increasingly looking very political it's increasingly willing to abuse its powers and break institutional norms. if it is going to take the unprecedented step of demanding fellow members testify in front of it should have to justify its powers. >> greatly one 100% thank you very much kyle what is yours? >> i will give a hit to doctors at the university of maryland this week you did an experimental heart transplant using an organ from a genetically modified pig. the patient set is a shot in the dark but his last chance. in the days after the surge it seems to have worked with the heart pumping normally. there are more than 100,000 people of the u.s. on organ transplant waiting list. so pigs can be genetically modified to their organs are less likely to be rejected by human patients, what a breakthrough that would be. >> unbelievable, da

house minority leader kevin mccarthy sending a letter to his caucus calling what happened on january 6th lawless, then attacking democrats for using it as what he calls a quote partisan political weapon to further divide our country. i want to bring in cnn political commentator scott jennings and cnn senior political analyst kirsten powers, who is also the author of "saving grace" by kirsten powers of course. good evening to both of you. thank you for joining. happy new year to you both. >> happy new year. >> thank you. kirsten, this letter from mccarthy doesn't mention the former president, who told his supporters on january 6th to, quote, fight like hell. instead he's attacking democrats for, he says, dividing the country. facts really don't matter, i guess, to many members of the gop anymore. >> yeah. well, it's not surprising that he would be trying to rally his troops around opposing the democrats and criticizing the democrats. but his critiques around january 6th in terms of the democrats not getting to the bottom of how this breach of, you know, the capitol occurred, well, tha

house minority leader kevin mccarthy refusing a request by the house panel investigating the capitol riot on january 6th to submit to an interview. and for him to turn over records pertaining to the incident. >> there is nothing that i can provide the january 6th committee for legislation of them moving forward. there is nothing in that realm. it is pure politics of what they are playing. >> bret: mccarthy's refusal forces the committee to consider a subpoena for the top republican in the house. let's talk about all of tonight's legal issues jonathan turley is a professor at george washington university law school. jonathan, thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> bret: let's start with the supreme court. there were a lot of reading through the tea leaves in the arguments by the way the questions were coming out that this might be a split decision how did you see it and the fact that the white house chief of staff plays heavily into the osha ruling part of this? >> well, this is how i did see it after the argument. i thought that it would be a split decision. that the administration

mccarthy would almost disband the commission or the finger, make it so that the inquiry slows down -- trump or people around him or for that matter fellow republican members of congress accountable for their actions in the run up to and including the day of january 6th. >> courtney, let's talk a little bit about the other matter of a lot of americans and that is these exploding covid numbers. we are going to talk a bit more about -- doctor nahid mightily about the significance of greater hospitalizations despite the fact that we have so many people getting covid right now. what is the white house thinking about right now about how to deal with covid? >> yeah, well, biden and harris are actually due to meet with the covid response team tomorrow, and he is expected to deliver remarks and an update on the administration's latest strategy which includes resources and personal hospitals, ramping up availability of tests and affordability. we know there was a lot of frustration over the holiday season in trying to find tests as people were trying to gather with their families. redoubling b

i mean, why isn't it on kevin mccarthy, mitch mcconnell, and yourself? >> well, we have a two-party system, and in the best case scenario, each party challenges the other to do better, to be better, to have a scenario where iron sharpens iron. instead, if you have one party plummeting to the depths and the other just uses that as an excuse to go further, to go more to an extreme, to go more away from any sort of governing consensus and towards trying to enact, you know, whatever the will of the most extreme constituency they have is, you know, that is a recipe for both parties to drive further away from anything that resembles serving the american people as a whole. >> look, i get our inability to sort of meet in the middle here, but do you accept what you heard in the last panel there, particularly from fiona hill, that this is not -- this is not a political argument? you've got one party that's being led by trump here that seems to be trying to de-legitimize our democracy. does that concern you? does that -- do you share that fear and view? >> i do. bu

republican minority leader kevin mccarthy wanted the court to reject it as unconstitutional. the high court agreed today to hear challenges to affirmative action in college admissions for the first time since 2016. two lawsuits charge that the use of race in admissions decisions at harvard university and the university of north carolina, discriminates against asian-americans. federal prosecutors in minneapolis charged today that three former police officers violated george floyd's civil rights in failing to prevent his murder. in opening statements, they said the men did nothing when fellow officer derek chauvin pinned floyd by the neck until he died. chauvin was convicted of murder last year. the defense argued chauvin was the senior officer and called all the shots. in iran, the government opened the door today to direct talks with the united states on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. the foreign minister spoke in tehran as negotiations with other world powers resumed in vienna. >> ( translated ): if we get to a stage where reaching a good deal with strong guarantees necess

it was reported that kevin mccarthy urged him to issue a statement. so now the committee has this information, but it largely was in the public domain. now, they can make a criminal referral, of course, and they can ask the justice department to take action to indict him, but then it's up to the justice department. congress doesn't really have any -- besides the investigation, which is incredibly important -- doesn't have any actual authority to do anything that it's not done. i will say one other thing here, steph. the interesting thing to me, and i think this is what we're going to see when this thing goes public next year -- or this year, rather, when this thing goes public in 2022, is that they have had a lot of cooperation from people that we don't know at this point. right? they have had people who worked in the white house, who were in the subpoenaed, who voluntarily came to the committee and said they would cooperate. that to me is the most interesting stuff because the people who have been subpoenaed have already indicated they're probably no

the question to people like kevin mccarthy, are you okay with that tape we just played from donald trump? >> it is a great question. >> i know you want to undermine this investigation and saying partisan. are you okay of what you just heard the president calling the secretary of state and say find me the 11,000 votes that don't exist. are you okay with that? >> is lindsey graham okay with that? when you play something like that, it is a question you have to keep asking yourself, how is ben sass, you talk about phony moral realism. oh my god, joe biden is just like donald trump. come on, ben. come on. come on. >> you talk about virtue signals. a lot of people are failing, really smart people who are clowning themselves. what does ben sass think about this and mit romney think about this. what should people tell us we should give the republican party a break which i tried to do in the senate. what do they say about this? >> right. >> well, i think there is the more precise and pertinent question, they're willing to live with it. lindsey graham have made his choice. i don't care what he say

mccarthy, were i to say it now, could see kevin mccarthy criticizing me for being partisan. even though i'm just repeating his own words against him. we need republican patriots, not just adam kinzinger and liz cheney, we need republican patriots to stand up for democracy. and we need the conservative pundits who know better to stop belittling what happened on january 6th. i think it was conservative writer kevin williamson who said, of course, the riots that we saw in the cities throughout 2020, of course they were horrific, of course they were criminal, but there is a difference between a coup d'etat and coup dtarget, there is a difference. >> if you read the op-ed out in "the new york timetimes" by jim carter, he says it takes democrats and republicans coming together, but that's not happening. finish this sentence as you described the state of the union. one year later, the state of our union is -- >> teetering. absolutely teetering. and it is not just jimmy carter who has devoted much of his post presidency period to standing up for democracy all over the world and now

i've not heard back from kevin mccarthy or his team as of yet. but i do think this is something the committee is deliberating. we'll have to find out what their next step will be. >> well, ryan nobles, gloria borger, elie honig, thank you for helping us understand this breaking news. "the lead" with jake tapper starts right now. >>> might the u.s. be about to turn a covid corner? "the lead" starts right now. covid cases could -- could be peaking in parts of the u.s. which means they could -- could -- be coming down soon. this as top health experts warn every american could end up being exposed to omicron. >>> plus, the january 6th committee just invited a new ghost their party. they're asking the top house republican kevin mccarthy if he feels like voluntarily cooperating. >>> and match point for novak djokovic. a deci

do i believe that kevin mccarthy is going to suddenly become a statesman? no. >> no, well and kevin mccarthy's approval ratings are doing quite well so he has been completely rewarded thus far for the stance he has taken. which brings me to something else, congressman. i want to play something your former colleague -- of course you know her -- congresswoman liz cheney said about the committee's investigation right now. here she is. >> i think the country needs a strong republican party going forward. but our party has to choose. we can either be loyal to donald trump or we can be loyal to the constitution. but we cannot be both. >> will she sway anyone, congressman? and do you agree that you cannot be both? >> oh, i absolutely do. i feel like they are wander ot in the desert between egypt and israel here after the red sea. as a business republican, bush republican, reagan republican, as with liz, we are without a party right now because of the way it's become hijacked by this trump base. and we need to get back to the principles that our party stands for, w

and just went back, fell in line, kevin mccarthy went running to mar-a-lago to make up with trump. i want to just go back to something laura coates said about merrick garland. there were two phrases he used, some people in the analysis did not think that merrick garland was strong enough yesterday. i think merrick garland was speaking the way merrick garland speaks. that's his tone. there are a couple of phrases that he used that stood out to me. he said, as long as it takes, whatever it takes, and then he said at whatever level. i think that was not by accident. >> one more line, he said perpetrators that he would deal with perpetrators who may not have been at the capitol. >> right. >> that's a hint. >> it is suggesting he's going after bigger fish right now. and just be patient, it is going to happen. let's see how long it takes. he's really going after them. he made that clear yesterday. jim sciutto is watching all of this unfold. i remember your coverage a yore ago today, it was really powerful, jim. what goes through your mind as we await the vice president of the united stat

. >> yes, you saw kevin mccarthy's group raise $72 million. a record number. people are giving money because they actually have an agenda they are going to run on. look. these are not gasps. every single day they lie. they lie from the podium. the president lies. everybody lies on their behalf. today they put out statistics that said that joe biden has created more jobs than any other president in his first term and everybody knows that's just not true. so put them aside for a moment as these two very small democrats have done. they are referring to hillary clinton in their op ed as a "changed candidate." think about that. hillary clinton is a changed candidate. eight years ago, yes, that's -- eight years ago, hillary clinton's campaign came up with 13 words you weren't allowed to say about hillary clinton. inevitable. secretive. manipulative. out of touch. represents the past. this is eight years ago, so of course she represents the pass. what exactly qualifies hillary clinton to be a three time loser? you cannot run for president if people don't particularly
