. >>> joining me now to discuss is congresswoman stephanie murphy, she is a democrat from florida, and she's been selected to join the house select committee to investigate january 6. congresswoman, thanks so much for taking time this morning. >> great to be with you, jim. >> first question is, do you believe that your republican colleagues are interested in a good faith effort to investigate what happened on january 6? >> i certainly hope that they are interested because what happened on january 6 was a violent attack on the capitol, and the victims were law enforcement officers, the press core, and republican and democratic staffing members, not to mention the republican vice president. so this was an attack on our democracy. i think they have an obligation to put in a good-faith effort to get all the facts. >> one key question is who would be called to testify. one potential witness is the president himself. what did he do and not do on that day to respond to this. do you believe that president trump should be called to testify, former president trump? >> i believe that this committ

democratic congresswoman stephanie murphy of florida is a member of the house select committee to investigate january 6th, and she joins me now. congresswoman, let me just first start by asking you your reaction when you were asked to serve on this and what it means for someone who is in a swing district, is going to have a competitive race i think in the midterms most likely and why you decided to say yes. >> you know, i was honored when i was asked to serve on this committee because i believe that we absolutely have to protect our democracy. i took an oath of office, not only when i became a member of congress but also when i worked at the department of defense to defend this country against threats foreign and domestic. and clearly what happened on january 6th was a domestic threat to our democracy. they were trying to use violence to shape a political outcome and i'm somebody who fled from a country, vietnam, in the aftermath of the vietnam war, where violence was used to secure political power. and so i am grateful to be in this country and i believe that it's my obligation to help prote

joining me is a member, democratic congresswoman from florida stephanie murphy. thank you so much for your time. i want to first get your reaction to this new reporting that minority leader kevin mccarthy is now in discussions with his fellow republicans about joining the house select committee. >> i'm certainly glad the house minority leader is willing to appoint members to this committee. i certainly hope, though, he appoints members who are willing to approach this issue from an apolitical perspective. >> as i mentioned davis has shown interest but it's possible mccarthy would instead select hard-line supporters of the former president. what concerns do you have that republicans could try to derail the committee's investigations? do you think the selections would be made in good faith to try to get to the bottom of the unanswered questions surrounding that day? >> on january 6 the capitol was attacked by an angry mob of people who hurt law enforcement, sought to capture the republican vice president or hundreding down lawmakers in addition to folks who had put

speaker pelosi: i'm proud of stephanie murphy's patriotism. she came to america as a baby from vietnam and she has always talked about how much her family appreciates america. and she, of course, has served our country very well in the department of defense, now in the congress of the united states. but her story is one that is the american dream many times over. i now want to yield to the distinguished, no stranger to any of you because he serves on so many committees this regard, judiciary, house administration and the committee on oversight, mr. jamie raskin. mr. raskin: thank you very much. the oversight committee has been conducting for several years an investigation into violent white supremacy. the department of homeland security has declared violent domestic extremism the number one security threat in the country and saw that threat explode right in front of us on january 6. so the impeachment trial of donald trump determined i think by robust bipartisan, bicameral majorities who incited the violence on january 6. but we need to figure

>> absolutely, we heard stephanie murphy talking about this, the old conservative house democrats, not as many as there used to be, the caucus is much more progressive than it was 10, 15, 20 years ago but they're very concerned about it. i was talking to john yarmouth, the chairman of the house budget committee, i'll have something on punch bowl news this morning on this, his statement was it's spending of this number, they're trying to get away from bernie sanders talking about $6 trillion reconciliation package. that terrifies moderates. they can't deal with that number. so we're saying it's a net package of a couple trillion dollar. that they can sell. i think they're going to look -- their language is going to be careful to leadership. it's aimed at moderates, getting them on board because they're scared of losing them. the window on legislation is going to close probably sometime this fall. and, you know, getting something passed through the house after that, it's going to be really tough sledding. >> before i let you go, real quick. you have new reporting on what kevin mccarthy i

murphy. kevin mccarthy has yet to weigh in on the other five lawmakers of the committee. joining us white house correspondent for politico and co-author of "the playbook" eugene daniels and an msnbc contributor. first of all congrats on your recent engagement and secondly, what, as we see these committee names come out including the very polarizing pick of lizz cheney, what dynamic does this set up for the select committee aiming to be nonpartisan? >> exactly. i think that she is trying to -- the speaker is trying to recreate what she wanted with this kind of 9/11-style commission, right, something that was nonpartisan, bipartisan, something that could be beyond reproach, something where it is focused on the facts and the whitewashing or what's happened -- what happened on january 6th and that's happened since then isn't a part of this committee. that's something she's been extremely focused on this entire time. that's it. they're trying to recreate this idea that this would be something that

in today's hearing, congresswoman stephanie murphy told police officers very specifically, how they saved her life. >> while you were holding back the mob that the lower wet -- west terrace entrance, i was up with kathleen rice about 40 pieces from the tunnel you are all in. that is about the distance from where i'm sitting here on the path wall. from that office, in close proximity to where you all held the line, i listened to you struggle, i listened to you yelling out to one another. i'm telling you, you got the last line of defense and during the exact period of time officer -- where you are sacrificing your body to hold that door, it gave congresswoman rice and i, and the capitol police officers who have been sent to extract us, the freedom of movement on the hallway to escape down the end of the hallway at the other end. i shudder to think about what would have happened if you had not held that line. i have two young children, a ten year old and seven year old daughter. they are the light of my life. the reason i was able to hug them again, was because of the courage that you and yo

take someone like stephanie murphy, for example, who actually worked at the pentagon in the wake of 9/11 and tried to implement some findings from the 9/11 independent commission from that report. these evidentiary gaps and make sure this doesn't happen again, the lines that were crossed and threatened our democracy. murphy has interesting personal story, her family escaped from vietnam. so she has personal reasons for this, too. the really gripping comment she made to me if you look at all other authoritarian regimes in the world there was always an unsuccessful coup that preceded the successful coup. they are reading hundreds of pages of documents right now. all the indictments that have previously been published and working in close coordination with them. you have a justice department that is being led by a democrat right now. a lot of these subpoenas complied with. otherwise these republicans they are eyeing issuing a subpoena to are going to face more serious repercussions than under bill barr during the trump administration. >> that's the hope at least. >> some great reporting

joining us now, one of the members of that committee, congresswoman stephanie murphy. congresswoman, the first hearing is going to include capitol police officers and support staff. what can we expect? >> i think what you will see is the law enforcement officers having an opportunity to talk about their experiences that day, as well as the preparedness or lack of preparedness and shortage of equipment and things like that that they experienced on that day. and i think it will be a really telling hearing to hear firsthand from the folks that were on the front line, doing the best they could to try to keep the republican vice president, as well as lawmakers of both parties safe during that terrifying, violent domestic extremist attack. >> but then what can or will come out of it? all of this happened -- january 6th happened because former president trump's and the gop's lies about the election. a way that we would get around this is actually having stronger, better voter protection laws, but we know that you've got all sorts of colleagues that were unwilling to even cert

congresswoman stephanie murphy accepted. she's a democratic member of the committee and like everyone in that room owes a lot to the witnesses today. >> you know, i have two young children. i have a 10-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter. they're the light of my life. and the reason i was able to hug them again was because of the courage that you and your fellow officers showed that day. >> congresswoman murphy joins us now. congresswoman, just hearing that again after surviving the attack in the first place and hearing the officers recount their stories in person earlier today, i mean, does it make the whitewashing of january 6th by some of your republican colleagues even more sickening to contemplate and difficult to explain? >> it's good to be with you tonight, anderson. and i think when you listen to the testimony today it was heart-wrenching. those officers went through a lot. the members on the select committee also shared bits and pieces of their experience that day. and in many ways we relived january 6th together

murphy of florida. congresswoman, thank you for being here. let's start here. what's the reaction to the news, the speaker rejecting two picks. >> happy to be with you. it is a reflection how serious she takes the select committee. it needs to be a committee that is committed to finding the truth and the facts around january 6th, which was a domestic attack on the capitol and on our democratic processes. we need to know who organized it, how they paid for it, and we need to figure out ways to ensure that this doesn't happen again, the fact that she has rejected two recommendations for two members who have indicated that they are not supportive of the objective of the select committee is consistent with how serious the committee is, how important it is to have patriots serving on the committee, not partisans. >> do you have insight what criteria she made this decision? >> well, she has said it is not a prerequisite to have certified the election in order to serve on this committee, and as you will see, s

includes lofgren of california as well as stephanie murphy, jamie raskin, and we should also note liz cheney is on the committee as well. we'll give you any breaking information on that. any surprising names to you in that thing? i'm surprised adam schiff is on the committee considering he got so much pushback being on the impeachment committee leading these other russia collusion things. >> dana: see a troublemaker when it comes to pelosi. better to put him on the committee maybe. reportedly kevin mccarthy house minority leader told republicans if you want her to put you on this committee she can put you on all the committees. i don't know if liz cheney who took a stand and stripped as conference chair is probably glad to be on it. >> trace: president biden is now in florida. [no audio] >> president biden: including i think i have the power to be able to get 100% of the cost for the county and state. i think i'm quite sure i can do that and so we are going to do that and there will be a lot you want. this could be a lot of pain and anxiety, suffering and even psychological help in th
