betsy: this quarter is about two things. showing that buybacks are accelerating, and two, showing that nii has a forward path, has an opportunity to go up as we look forward. guy: is that this quarter or next quarter? betsy: some stocks you will begin to see this quarter, particularly in the consumer finance names, particular on the card space. of the big banks we will begin to see that in their card portfolios. overall, we are looking at a 2022 story. it feeds into some of the stuff you been discussing, interest rates rising and loan growth is accelerating. a lot of people pushback on that but it is happening. alix: where is limb growth accelerating? betsy: number one is in card. we have credit card in the u.s. running at 2.5 percent up on a year on year basis. a quarter ago that was shrinking. that is new news. there is a lot of debate as to how much of this is true revolvers versus trans actors just spending more. that will be an interesting discussion. this eni book, a lot of people are looking -- the cni book, a lot of

action has to be taken. >> betsy, i'm curious. i do want to ask you how the rank and jill's very strong pov squares with what you're getting out of the doj. >> the doj is a black box on this. they made clear they're going to make the decision themselves. the prosecutor and the u.s.' attorneys office for d.c. who will make the choice is not a biden appointee. he's been there for years, channing phillips. it's a dicey moment for the justice department because one of the key focuses from the attorney general has been isolating the doj from political pressure, and very much bristling at commentator from the white house how doj should make prosecutorial issues. clearly they were frustrated with the comment president biden made. that said, this case looks pretty simple. so it's important, crucial moment for the department on a lot of cevallos when betsy tells me it's a blackstock black box, i know it is. betsy, frank, jill, thank you so much for betting us started. >>> next, the florida school board member speaking out about the threats

betsy, what do you think? >> you know, i think one of the things that frustrated me about the whole debate is we have focused on what is the dollar amount instead of what is the value and what are we getting. so i think it is most important that we make the investments for children early on so that we're expanding that child tax credit, that we're making the investments in early childhood education, universal preschool, because, you know, those lay a foundation that allows our system to work better, reducing inequality going forward, allowing kids to grow up and be able to be more productive as adults, pay more into the tax system, and we actually know from, you know, decades of studies that at the end of the day we end up raising more tax revenue from investing in kids. so those are investments that pay. i really want to see a lot of the emphasis there but, you know, i hear the argument that, you know, we've got to give people a taste of things. i have to admit it makes me cry a little bit to hear four weeks

joining our panel, msnbc contributor betsy woodruff swan. tell us about that. how did it shape the pentagon's response to the capitol attack? >> this email was truly bizarre. the time stamp on the email is about 1:30 p.m. so, we're talking four hours after the audio that you just played where capitol police officers were talking about being unable to move a person they'd arrested because they were essentially hemmed in by more increasingly violent, restive protesters. four hours after that audio was taken, dhs officials sent a notification over to the pentagon, saying, no major incidents of criminality at this time. basically, communicating that dhs thought everything seemed to be going just fine. at the same time that dhs sent that email, the head of the u.s. capitol police department was calling over to the pentagon, simultaneously, begging them to authorize national guard units to come to the capitol to try to reinstate some semblance of control and to try to protect the proceedings that were going on in the capitol building. we don't know exactly, and one o

for more on this, i'm joined by betsy swan with politico. betsy, thank you for being with us. these are interesting developments. house voting to deal with steve bannon. we don't know how it plays out. you can tell us. the idea that jeffrey clark who is central to the operations in trying to overthrow the election is going to testify. tell us. >> clark is scheduled to come in and talk to the select committee in my view, by far, the most significant development in terms of information that these investigators have access to. he is on the schedule. we expect the interview to happen. these are unusual circumstances and the project the select committee is engaging in. until clark is in the door and answering questions, don't think it is a foregone conclusion. clark knows who was pushing doj to propagate the nonsense conspiracy theories. what the president was telling senior doj officials about his efforts to overturn the election and just how close things got to turning into an even more dangerous and volatile circumstance or outcome. clark is just a key witness here. i think ever

betsy devos and tom cotton are standing by. >> hi. this all starts with a letter isn't to president biden from the school board association. they wanted assistance from the fbi and secret service due to threats. the classification of these heinous actions could be a farm of domestic terrorism. last night the justice department agreed. their memo reads in part, while the spirited debate is under the constitution, that does not extend to threats of violence or intim individuals based on views. critics find a lot of gray area. is intimidation including parents that they were going to unseat a school board member or anything of the sort? the department was pressed today. >> it's the job to address it. >> you're attempting to intimidate them. you're attempting to silence them. >> this comes as parents are struggling to find where they have a say in their child's education. >> they do get to hold their school board members accountable and what we're seeing out of the federal government is frightening and people should stand up for their rig

betsy swan is covering the fallout from the january 6th insurrection. robert costa is a reporter from "the washington post." includes this period of time and robert, maybe let's start there. your book includes quite a bit of reporting on this and you have done quite a bit of reporting specifically on the president's inner circle. and their coordination about the date of the 6th. give us a sense of what you found and how much outreach there was to members of congress. >> at times looking at all of these events and episodes can be like looking at an abstract painting on the wall with a lot of colors and different points but the one to focus on as a reporter is trump himself. what is trump doing? he's the commander in chief, the president at the time. january 5th. calling into the war room, talking to bannon, talking to giuliani. also talking that night to senator cruz of texas, trying to whip up senate republicans to object to every state. this is an effort that had a lot of players, but let's never forget it's trump himself driving this from the top with

betsy, good morning to you. let's start there. you obtained the internal capitol police memo from the day before the insurrection the day before there were no specific known threats. what information did they use to compile that? >> yeah. it was a strange document. they don't really go into why they thought these threats didn't exist. it's also an internally contradictory document because later on in that same piece it talked about how there could potentially be threats to particular locations in the capitol and it talked about plans to put more police officers armed with less than lethal weaponry at specific locations around the capitol building, including the inaugural platform. what's really, really strange about this is capitol police first said there were no known threats. later in this planning document indicated they believed there were threats. correctly predicted some of the locations around the capitol building that could be attacked -- that could be attacked violently, that were attacked violently, but -- and this is th

betsy woodruff swan reported for politico, broke the news of jeffrey rosen's testimony today, and she joins me now. it was not necessarily unanticipated but still a big deal, and this is a very big central figure in this entire thing, and i think someone who's going to not be cavalier about violating subpoenas if i had to guess? >> the january 6th story is very much in terms of this particular episode a tale of two jeffs. we know a ton about jeff rosen's perspective, he's actually been unusually forthcoming regarding just about everything he knows from his time running the justice department through a historically chaotic moment. i know based on conversations with folks throughout the day that one of the key focuses now for the january 6th select committee, one thing that they really pressed rosen on when he was testifying was clark's role. lots of questions about who clark was working with, whether he was working with people in the justice department as well as who he was working with outside the justice department. questions about the way clark was connected to strategies to try to

betsy, this was not necessarily unanticipated, but still a big deal. in this is a very big central figure in this entire, thing and i think someone who is not going to be cavalier about violating subpoenas, if i had to guess. >> the january 6th story is very much in terms of this particular episode, a tale of two jeff's. we know a ton about jeff rosen's perspective, he is actually been unusually forthcoming, regarding just about everything he knows, from his time running the justice department, through historically chaotic moment, we know based on conversations with folks throughout the day. that one of the key focus is now for the january 6th select committee, one thing that they're really pressed rosen, and when he was testifying, was clark's role, lots of questions about who clark was working with. whether it is working with people in the justice department, as well as who is working with outside the justice department. questions about the way clark was connected to strategies, to try to get the supreme court to step in, and overturn the election. a

if it's not uncomfortable, it's not happening. >> that's a good way to put it, betsy. thanks for your great writing. betsy woodruff swan is a national correspondent for politico and msnbc contributor. >>> joining me now is mondair jones of new york. he serves on the judiciary and ethics committee and the deputy whip of the congressional progressive caucus. happy to talk to you about the january 6th stuff but want to talk to you about the legislation, the social programs that we're trying to put through, congressman. this is the week in which you, progressives and democrats in general are going to have to decide what stays, what goes, what gets funded possibly at a lower level, what gets funded for a shorter period of time. how are you thinking about how you head into this week? >> ali, great to be back on with you. this is an exciting time. we have a real opportunity to deliver for the american people in a way that we ran on. so, i'm very optimistic. i will say that even some of the things that we don't particularly like that we've been hearing from manchin and kyrsten

we're also joined with politico's betsy woodruff swan, a friend of the show. jeffrey rosen has already testified on topics around trump's efforts to overturn the election. >> that's right, rosen has been extraordinarily forthcoming about what he knows about the last weeks of the trump administration. it's not clear what new angles the committee will be asking him about. the senate judiciary committee put out a big report just a week ago citing in part some of the information that rosen had shared with them. i expect, though, that the select committee is going to have questions about what exactly happened during that 24-hour window when the attack on the capitol played out. were there calls between the white house and the justice department? what role did the justice department play in efforts to bring in reinforcements to try to secure the capitol building after rioters had taken it over? and does rosen have knowledge of any communications between senior white house officials and other folks who may have had connections to the way that that day unfolded as a w

and betsy goes, wearying the latest louise penny. her publisher read the article and said would you like to meet this woman, who is a good friend of hillary clinton? >> reporter: she met louise at a book event in chicago. they instantly became good friends. >> and two weeks later, my husband, who was suffering from dementia, passed away. i was going through the notes of condolence, and there was one from you. hillary has never met michael, she has never met me. she is in the middle of the most vicious political fight of anyone's life, and she writes to a canadian who can't even vote. >> reporter: we spoke to hillary clinton and louise penny in a studio overlooking new york's javits center, clinton's election night quarters. >> when we met, you just lost the election, i just lost my husband. we were two women of a similar age who knew what that felt like. >> reporter: then in 2019, their friend, betsy, died of breast cancer. >> she had a genius for friendship. >> reporter: so writing the book together, clinton from her home in chappaq

betsy, good to have you on the show, thank you. one of the things you pointed out in your piece is this the one of the panel's first interviews. did they plan it that way, should we read into that? >> that's right, donahue has so far aimed to be cooperative with congressional investigators looking into what happened on january 6. that makes him a major outlier as far as former trump administration officials. but he also spoke to a senate committee about what happened and now of course we've learned he is the first known person to be interviewed by the january 6 select committee. he is really important because he had just as much visibility as almost anyone into trump's efforts to overturn the election. he also knew the senior leadership of doj inside out. he was a very close ally of bill barr's. barr actually brought him from his first trump administration job as a u.s. attorney in brooklyn, barr brought him down to washington so that donahue could be more involved in the inner workings and long term strategizing of the justice dep

in addition it is a donald trump/betsy devos plan of moving money from public to private. i will never allow that as governor. that's why parents support me. >> when you say parents should have a say, is that say strictly how they vote on the school board? >> clearly they have a say to be involved in the school boards that they pick and so forth, but they want to know are their children getting a world class education. i did that last time i was governor. let's be clear, in virginia, we're fourth in the country on k-12. we're number one in the country on higher ed. we have a great education system. the issue is, and he's trying to do a back door deal on with trump, he talks about a critical race theory. that's a dog whistle. we don't have critical race theory taught in virginia. he brings up this donald trump/devos thing on education. i hate to see people divided. i am a uniter. i got us out of the worse economic chaos before. i'll do it again with covid, and i'll do it in a bipartisan way. >> i'm glad you brought up critical race theory and you call it a dog whistle, but

we're back with eddie glaude and betsy woodruff swan. it's all connected, this politics of meanness that president obama is talking about, neil trying to chime in on the side of science and civility and respect. >> i cannot stress this enough. this is not about left or right. this is not about who's conservative or liberal. take the political speaking points and toss them for now. i'm begging you. toss them. and think of what's good. not only for yourself but for those around you. life is too short to be an ass. life is way too short to be ignorant of the promise of something that is helping people worldwide. stop the deaths. stop the suffering. please, get vaccinated. please. >> it's just an incredible message coming from a fox news anchor when most of the people being asses work there. >> yeah. let's see how quickly cavuto is banished from the tribe, nicole. we have these political vulgarians who are exploiting these divisions and what is very clear is that there are two americas, and this sort of crass, crude, and cynical appeal refle

betsy joins us and back with eugene. we are more curious about the calls he made on january 6. what can you tell us about these records and whether the committee will be able to review them? >> it's hard to have a super clear record of these records based on the filing. the trump legal team is trying to claim legal privilege over a wide variety of documents from as generic as visitor logs to things that would potentially be more sensitive, like notes from former, then chief of staff, mark meadows. it has the potential to change the way the public understands the presidency. it is going to force a federal court to decide whether former presidents can use executive privilege to keep their secrets, secret. and if they rule no, they can't, the curtains will be pulled back in a dramatic way and we will have an extraordinary view into one of the most extraordinary days we have seen in modern memory. >> why did this plan to contain protestors fall short? >> even though capitol police knew the specific locations in the building that protesters could target, they underestimated how seri

getting back, betsy, to the january 6th committee subpoenas. what is the committee's ban to get steve bannon and others to comply. what kind of legal fight is ahead with bannon claiming executive privilege? >> we expect that what we know is that members of the committee are talking about asking the justice department to prosecute witnesses who defy their subpoenas. that's a very real option that they have, and it would put real pressure on any witnesses who refuse to comply. of course, two of these witnesses as you have noted have engaged with the committee and bannon has signalled that he's not going to engage. so what the committee is considering doing is moving to hold these people in contempt of congress and then moving to ask the justice department to bring criminal charges to try to force these recalcitrant witnesses to comply. those criminal charges are no joke. if you're convicted of defying a congressional subpoena you can go to prison for a year and face fines of up to $100,000. in the coming days they have to figure out exactly how t

betsy, i would like to pick up with you where robert costa and i left off. in terms of the evidence that steve bannon could unlock for the select committee, a lot of it turns around this meeting at the willard hotel. i know you've got information on the participants and the work they did ahead of that, there was a white paper, there was a plan. the coup was the plot. >> that's right. the goal of this meeting was discussing efforts to reverse the legal outcomes of the 2020 election. that was what the project was. what we don't know is if this meeting discussed specific violent tactics toward the capitol, but we do know that scare tactics in general were a big part of what trump was trying to use to frighten republican members of congress and democratic members of congress into resisting the outcomes of this race. we know part of the focus was, send a massive crowd to the capitol. frighten members of congress. have this show of force that would make people in the capitol building think something really bad would happen to them if they didn't move to overturn t

joining me now betsy woodruff swan. welcome to the show. what's the reaction been -- this has come to light in the last couple of weeks, some really good reporting about eastman's plan. what have you been hearing in terms of a reaction to eastman's scheme and the defense we jufd read provided by the organization that employs him? >> there's, of course, a ton of interest on the select committee and the legal side of how president trump and his allies tried to find a way to overturn the results of the january 6th election. we've gotten lots and lots of pieces of that particular puzzle in the recent months, and perhaps it's one of the narrative threads of january 6th that we have the most visibility into in large part because so much of what has happened in those conversations was put down in writing. with very jeffrey clark's memo, a trump senior doj official who proposed sending out misinformation to multiple states claiming that the fbi had found evidence of voter fraud when it hadn't. that memo he proposed sending, we've got it in writing.

attorney, now law professor and betsy swan. politico correspondent. betsy, let me start with you. what does steve bannon know? >>. >> on january 5th, knew that january 6th was going to be one of the most historic days in the history of this country. he said that on his podcast. he said things were going to get crazy and wild on january 6th. he's since tried to reinterpret those comments and suggest they were about something other than chaos unfolding, but it's clear in the days and the hours leading up to the attack on the capitol, bannon knew enough about what was going on that he gave startlingly, one of the most accurate predictions of how the chaos that day would play out. it would be nuts if the congressional committee didn't want to get as much information from him as possible about his involvement, his visibility, the members of congress he was speaking to, the financial efforts to bring people into washington, d.c. on january 5th, january 6th. and one of the biggest questions, what did they think was going to happen. >> i want to read what betsy is describing. i'm of two m

ross connected to, that had that revolutionary war diary of john claypool who eventually became betsy ross' third husband. there's an interesting story there. so what is the best book on the constitution convention of 1877 any recommendations jim? >> there are so many. the book by richard demon which gives a good overview. it is such a vast illiterate sure that could be a good starting place a good narrative of what happens. >> there is another questions about native american constitutions what other nations broke constitutions. maybe you want to talk about the cherokee constitution a little bit, bring it up? >> many do, many did and do have constitutions today. the cherokee constitution is an especially notable one. it was written in the 1820s. again it was part of the attempt by the cherokees to secure their place in this new transformer confident. the cherokees and other nations did. interesting things in order to, these are all different strategies. different native american groups, different places, different circumstances and up adopting different strategies to pursue here. one

joining us now, nag at correspondent at politico, betsy. thank you so much for being bianna golodryga here this morning. what is your reporting that doj will, in fact, charge bannon if he's charged with contempt in the house? >> it's hard to say. i think there's kind of an emerging view it's very likely dj will charge him, but that's not a consensus, and, in fact, the justice department doesn't want to get involved in criminal proceedings if there's civil litigation that could resolve the matter. what we expect bannon's team to argue if they end up engaging with doj prior to any criminal charges is trump has now sued the january 6 select committee, in part claiming many of its investigative goals violated executive privilege. that said, bannon has an extraordinarily thin argument to make regarding executive privilege because, first, trump is not the executive anymore, and, second, of course, bannon was not an executive member of the branch on january 6. i want to emphasize it's much too early and risky to assume we can get what doj is going

also joining us, betsy woodruff swan of politico, and robert costa is here, "washington post" national political reporter and coauthor of the new book, "peril". bob costa. i'm excited to talk to you about susan glasser's comment there about books. you unearthed many things not many days ago. i wanted to start with breaking news up on capitol hill. a 25-year veteran of the u.s. capitol police force was charged today for trying to protect a man who was accused of illegally entering the capitol during the riot. he was told to delete all social media that provides proof. he said i support your political stance in a facebook dm. they are investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to be charged. just looking out. >> your reaction. >> who was he looking out for, nicole? was he looking out for the safety of the 150 officers who lost an eye, lost fingers, still have not yet come back to work? was he looking out for our democracy? because for five hours, it was suspended and for the first time we did not see a peaceful transition of power? now. he was looking out for donald trum

this became a talking point why, betsy. does it have anything to do with the memory that we all have of the cozy relationship between the trump white house and the doj? >> certainly, biden's comments about the doj potentially bringing charges against people who defy these subpoenas obviously rankled senior officials over at the justice department. part of the reason that biden named merrick garland as attorney general is because he wanted someone there running the department, who would be totally apolitical and who hadn't ever been part of his political -- of biden's political ambitions. biden put garland in place at doj, specifically so that he would help the department reassert its independence from political institutions. and that -- the result of that is, the result of that project, moving forward, effectively, is this uncomfortable moment, where biden, at least in the justice department's view, overstepped by suggesting a particular prosecution should take place and the justice department succinctly, firmly, and polite

. >> so betsy, i want to ask you about the committee's subpoena to jeffrey clark. we should explain for our viewers, this is a former trump doj official who pressed his former colleagues at the justice department to pursue donald trump's false fraud claims. this subpoena to him, i think it shows that this committee is casting a wide net on trump's efforts to overturn the election he lost, not just what happened on january 6 itself. >> the clark subpoena is a big deal for two reasons. first, he hasn't testified to congress, even though other committees have tried to secure his testimony, and even though he has more knowledge than just about anyone in terms of how trump tried to get the doj on board with his efforts to overturn the election. and in fact clark tried to get doj to send out letters to states around the country, falsely claiming that the fbi found evidence of voter fraud when it hasn't found significant evidence. the second reason that this subpoena of clark is so important is that several months ago, i reviewed a letter that trump sent to multiple forme

front >> betsy you've been doing so much reporting on this, and one of the things, and the reason that i think we've seen this reaction from members of congress to this report is that, the context here is the suspicion. not harbored, but not as that list at all. in fact denied by soon in. members that there was a active collusion by republican members of congress with the folks restoring the capitol. i think some democratic members have sort of intimated that, they have walked up to the line of making that accusation. that hangs over this entire investigation right now and you see it in how quickly those called got made from democratic members, what do you think? >> it highlights why there is such a focus and such a massive level of interest in the january six select committee. the rolling stone story is based on an anonymous stores, we don't know who's making these claims. when we do know, is that the select committee is in des moines to interview on the record and under oath to people who organized the january 6th rally. one of their first batches of subpoenas that they sent out went

ross connected to have the revolutionary war diary of john claypool, betsy crosses third husband, a story there. what is the best book on the constitution convention, any recommendations? >> there are so many. there's a good overview, a vast literature. but that could be a start for what happened and the debate. >> is another question about native american constitutions and one other, maybe you want to talk about the charity cherokee. >> many did and do have constitutions today. the cherokee constitution is an especially notable one written in the 1820s and it was part of this attempt by the cherokees to secure their place in this new transformed continent and the cherokees and other nations did interesting things to try to -- these are all different strategies so different native american groups and different circumstances and different strategies but one strategy is to write a constitution, cherokees like to write about slavery and they pointed to this as another sign of their ability to coexist in this american society alongside market society, owning in this 19th century context

betsy devos, great to have you with us. thanks very much. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: also breaking right now, lawmakers are debating a contempt charge for president trump's former strategist, steve bannon in a vote that will happen shortly that is for refusing to supply with a subpoena by the house panel investigating the january 6 riot. merrick garland says he will apply facts. chad pergram is watching that and all of the movement going on to try to get towards a reconciliation bill on the hill as well. update us, chad. >> good afternoon, martha. steve bannon rejected a subpoena by the 1-6 committee. he claimed executive privilege even though he was long gone from the white house. house gop leaders oppose wheeling in bannon. >> they're issuing an invalid subpoena. issuing that weakens our power. he has a right to go to the court to see if he has executive privilege or not. i don't know if he does or not, but neither does the committee. >> when the gop controlled the house, it held irs figure lois learner contempt of

betsy, always good to see you. it feels like the committee is really stepping on the gas in this investigation. they're going straight to subpoenas. chairman bennie thompson is threatening to issue criminal referrals to anyone who defies those subpoenas. what do you make of all of it at this point? >> the threat to issue criminal referrals is significant. any time you start talking about members of congress accusing people of crimes is a big deal. but it's doubly important because the biden administration controls the political appointees at the justice department. if trump were president and congress were controlled by democrats, there's no way the doj would bring charges against people for defying a democratic congressional investigation. but now, if these democrats are able to put together criminal referrals that are serious, which they will be able to do if any of these witnesses defy their subpoenas, there's a very good likelihood that doj will take those referrals seriously. and that's something that is sure
