this is what democracy looks like. c-span, powered by cable. all ofe president, what are your concerns if you are a supporter and what is this mean for your support of the now republican presidential nominee? does that firm it up or make you consider other candidates. and if you oppose donald trump what is this mean for a third trial going into the presidential year. for democrats (202) 748-8000, for republicans (202) 748-8001, for independentss (202) 748-8002 . former president donald trump is bracing for a federal indictment related to the right at the capital in his efforts to

overturn the election after prosecutors named tim. the target letter from jack smith which trump disclosed did not say which charges the former president would face. investigators have looked into a variety of trump plots to reverse his defeat in 2020. the charges stemming from the riot would be the most serious against president trump. this is the case the government most wants to win and they will pull out all stops to do whatever it takes to win. they want trump to face consequences for january 6. the government wants this case because it is symbolic for them. if the grand jury hands it indictment it will be the third time this year the criminal charges have been filed against president trump.

mr. trump said on true social that his attorneys notified him of the letter on sunday. he says he was given four days to report to the grand jury a prelude to indictment number -- and arrest. trump saying which on biotin wants to arrest his opponent who is leading him in the polls in the upcoming presidential election. such a thing has never happened before the chair of the house democratic caucus chair was asked about the work of the january 6 committee and potential charges facing president trump. >> i think the committee laid

out and you will remember this, we said time and again our focus is to seek the truth and make sure there is accountability. we also said there were tools that could be idolized by the department of justice. we are appreciative of the work and their focus on staying true to finding the facts and holding people accountable. their truck record has been solid when it comes to prosecutions and we expect that the work the grand jury continues to do will meet that threshold of seeking the facts and holding people accountable. host: we want to get to your views on this potential third indictment. for democrats (202) 748-8000,

for republicans (202) 748-8001, for independents (202) 748-8002. we start in lawrenceville, georgia on the republican line. caller: the first thing i would like to say to the democrats is contesting an election is not illegal. it never has been illegal and it isn't illegal now. you can contest an election until you can't breathe anymore. host: on to highland park, new jersey on the democrats line. caller: first of all, thank you for taking my call. and to the previous color and all of the trump supporters

including some democrats who voted for him, this is really outrageous what they are trying to do. they know very well that he tried to overturn, overturn that is treasonous, overturn the 2020 election. that is what i have to say. host: next we have nick from delray beach, florida. what are your thoughts? caller: the first thing i would like to say is democrats like to talk about turning over elections, like when the fbi and the intelligence community get together and say there is a russian collusion hoax when they knew it was a complete and total

lie. a couple of questions c-span wants to look into. maybe someone would like to get an answer to right after seeing on videos encouraging people to go into the capitol building was number 16 on the fbi's most wanted list. i wonder why christopher wray can't answer when he goes before congress. why he can't answer whether or not there were any fbi agents or whether the fbi had hired rioters to be in the crowd that day. christopher wray says it's an ongoing investigation. the investigation could be ongoing forever and you will never have to answer those questions. the last thing i would like to say is this. when democrats colin, they are

the pro-pedophile, pro-sex slave, pro-slave labor and pro-drug cartel flooding this country. host: let's hear from thibodeau, louisiana on the democrats line. caller: hello? host: you are on the ear. -- on the air. caller: he should be indicted and he should be in jail. he didn't even defend his vice president from potentially being harmed. he should be indicted and put in jail, thank you. host: we will go to countries on the republican line. caller: thank you for taking my call. every time they get ready to go

down on the bidens they come in with the trump indictment. let me be really clear. are you aware that have taken the boat, the election, all the way to the supreme court and they have multiple court cases that have taken sides, to the supreme court. one brother got all the way up. they decided the election had not been investigated. it was an indictment of

president trumps rights. host: at what level did they win? an appeals court, a federal court? caller: trump had one. i don't know why they haven't announced it in the states. host: trump rails against january 6. they write the former president railed against the justice department and to his efforts to remain in power after losing the election he said his first on camera comments speaking with sean hannity during the town hall and iowa. here is some of that conversation from last night. [video clip]

>> it bothers me the letter on sunday night. i don't think they've ever sent a letter on sunday night. they are in a rush because they want to interfere with an election. it's never been done like this and it is a disgrace. whatever is happening with this country whether it's borders has become a weapon for the democrats and it seems that every time i poll we are leaving by a lot. and where leading by a lot in places like iowa. not only with republicans but were leaning against biden by a tremendous amount. they feel like they wanted to mean and diminish and frighten people but they don't frighten us because we are going to make. host: our topic this morning,

comments on social media, on twitter says we are a nation of laws. have your day in court. his own hand picked supreme court ruled against him. here we go another morning of truck bashing. it has taken the federal government too long in his role in the january 6 insurrection. we will go back to your calls and go to eddie in atlanta on the democrat line. caller: good morning america and c-span. i don't think we need any more donald trump. he was the worst president when he got in he didn't do nothing.

he is still doing the same thing on tv, complaining about what they did to him. he did everything himself. what is that man say about democrats? republicans are not good for anything. they are always complaining about wanting to give to the poor people. wanting to give to the nation to make it better. republican suck. host: we have peter on the independent line. what is your thought on this news? caller: i am glad it has finally happened. i remember when al khor when the votes in florida were counted. al khor stood up like a man and

did the right thing. this guy lies and cries like my 12-year-old grandson. he clearly lies. the only representation is trump and his lies in the cult of follow him like puppy dogs. host: this is from usa today, the headline trump confirms he is the target of january 6 investigations. he expects charges soon. a few questions posed as an indictment likely to happen this week or next? attorneys familiar with these investigations say a target letter means charges or imminent. using the mar-a-lago case as a

template charges could come as soon as next week. also in the piece they answer what is a target letter? the president saying he received this target letter from prosecutors. it is a document that prosecutor sent to people under investigation inviting them to testify in warning they could be subject to arrest and indictment. he also received a similar noticed on charges of obstruction of justice. jack smith also heads up that investigation. on our democrats line in detroit, larry. caller: good morning and

greetings again from motown. in response to the first caller and is typical of these republicans to call in and make excuses for donald trump. they buy into conspiracy theories with regards to the attack on the capital. these were not trump's they were fbi agents or this john sullivan character. the lies that trump said about the national guard saying pelosi turned them down even though she had no authority. this man has been putting out so much for so long. and they keep on putting up excuses to protect and coddle him. there seems to be a myopic, delusional devotion to him.

they think he can do no wrong. with regards to the conspiracy theories, many of them have been thoroughly debunked. donald trump lost, joe biden one and it is over. host: bobby is in hackettstown new jersey on the republican line. caller: there is so much to say it's hard to put it in a few seconds. to that previous caller about us being the colt or little puppy dogs. what really drives me insane is how corrupt the department of justice really is. they continue to go after donald trump. when will we start going after hunter and joe biden and the corruption with the bribery from all the other countries.

the guide jesse waters send a kid on the boardwalk to interview america. how many people know who tony bobilinksky is and why did they censor that story on twitter and facebook just prior to the election. if you don't call that election interference i don't know what is. the democrats get away with everything. did you say chris mary's -- did you see chris ray's interview. and then the worst president ever? our gas prices were two dollars and $.27, crime was down. i have had enough from these corrupt democrats. host: the line is open for

democrats (202) 748-8000, for republicans (202) 748-8001, for independents (202) 748-8002 are opening topic is about a likely indictment announced by the former president. the letter from the justice department he received. but it's a quick look at some of our live programming on the c-span network. the senate judiciary committee is working on legislation dealing with the conduct of the supreme court. the ethics recusal act aims to establish a code of rules relating to the justices personal activities. at that hearing continues this morning coming up at 9:30 eastern on c-span three.

israeli president herzog is meeting with president biden and we will have that life for you as the house and senate come together at 11:00 a.m.. two irs whistleblowers will testify today on the ongoing investigation into the biden family. we will have live coverage from that house oversight committee. that will be alive on c-span3 and on our mobile app. writing about that hearing today. this is the washington examiner. hunter biden investigation. an anonymous criminal investigator will testify revealing his identity for the first time after alleging politicization of the hunter

biden investigation. saying the unnamed irs agent and veteran supervisor special agent gary shapley will appear. it takes a brave person to step forward and challenge the status quo. said russell fry a member of the oversight committee. they both testified that the house ways and committee, had been blocked from charging joe biden's son in a criminal tax investigation in california and washington dc. he also said he was not the deciding official on whether they could indict on that case.

let's hear from honolulu, good morning to thomas. caller: thank you sir, thinking to c-span. you have been doing your thing for 44 years. i will start with my independent observations. i appreciate the fact that you legitimately have people from all points of view even though your viewers think you are biased. i think you can improve your product if you would consider devoting at least one day a week or at minimum one day of month to having experts come on and explain the psychological factors that shape the opinions we form. concepts like cognitive dissonance, the dunning kruger effect, people who think they

know everything they need to know without knowing what they need to know. that happens all the time on c-span but in real life. a big reality online. concepts like propaganda for profit, propaganda techniques that we see every day. especially from the republicans. propaganda experts that can tell us how this is happened together. there are plenty of them. you have probably had the miscast. we need that as a country much more frequently to break us out of the silos we are in making the other side people in our side correct. seriously consider what day a week devoting discussions to

psychological concepts in the history of propaganda. host: great recommendation and we appreciate your thoughts. john is up next from brookfield, massachusetts. caller: my comment is you have mitch mcconnell and mccarthy days after the insurrection and they were all seeing it should be handled by the law and the law will take care of it. now the president is being accused of it and he has a right to go to court and defend himself and if you don't think he can defend himself and other people think he can't defend himself. we are not all about the law.

that is my comment for today. host: we have david in south carolina, a republican collar. caller: good morning, good morning. this is a sham just like everything else is. around sun city and hilton head a lot of people will vote for republicans because they see what is happening. a lot of independents will vote for republicans because they are tired of seeing what is happening. everybody in this country knows it. i love your type. -- your tie. caller: this jack smith, he went after democrats.

there is no deep state because even william barr couldn't find it deep state. you have republicans up on charges and fake collectors. this is not deep state or doj thing. they broke the law. if you break a law you do the time. that is all there is. host: kevin mentioned the michigan case or the new charges i should say of 16 fake collectors with forgery felonies. the michigan attorney general filed felony charges who acted

as fake collectors for donald trump accusing them of submitting false certificates despite joe biden's victory in the state. a democrat announced that all 16 people would face a criminal charges including forgery and conspiracy. the top charges carry 14 years in prison. this includes cap the burden as well as the cochair of the michigan republican party and shelby township clerk. leonard is on the democrats line in houston, texas. caller: thank you for taking my call. the caller from hawaii had it right. i just wish she would call these people out on their lives.

i know you don't like to and let them voice their opinions. it would be nice if somebody would fact-check with these people are saying because a lot of this stuff is rhetoric or propaganda coming from social media. donald trump is guilty. if this was obama that had done all of the things that trump had done which you feel the same? host: what do you think would be different about it? caller: they would've killed obama. trying to take over the presidency and never get kicked out. we keep hearing about election fraud.

all these fake collectors, you better remember. felons can't vote. the next time when he loses, he lost to hilary in the general election and 8 million to biden and this time it will be worse. you keep on voting for trump. host: this is from the hill, the reaction from other presidential candidates. haley slams trump drama after the january 6 pro. this is what nikki haley had to say on fox news. [video clip] >> how does this indictment affect his candidacy? >> it is going to keep on going. the rest of this primary election every reference will be about lawsuits and legal fees

and it will continue to be of further distraction and that is why i am running. we needed new generational leader. we can't keep dealing with the drama and negativity. we have china trying to be at war with us you have the wrong building a bomb you have north korea detaining a soldier. we need to focus on depth and the lack of transparency in schools. we can't be focused on lawsuits over and over again. host: on twitter, jack smith the special counsel investigating americans need to step back and do his job. if he ends up being indicted he can defend himself. our justice department is as crooked as the soviet union.

how is enforcing the law political? if you break the law you pay. i don't care who you are or who you worship no one is above the law. no jury will be able to clearly hear a case against any president. listen to folks from both sides make the most extreme comments. we have blood on the republican line next, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. first of all i want to say to the people out there in america, ask yourself this question. where were the police officers? where was the security? and why did they not do their job? their job is to use deadly force

if anyone trespasses against the capital. host: where were what police officers? caller: the police officers, the capitol police. their job is to use deadly force if anyone trespasses into the capital. the first thing they should have done and they did their job. someone busted the door, shoot them. that is their job and someone stop them from doing their job. who? i don't know. they failed to do their job. host: onto gregory and sanford, north carolina. caller: good morning we appreciate what you guys are doing and all of the callers.

i have been retired military since 2008. i watched obama, the primaries. the single thing i think is happening here with political ideology in this country is being formulated by psychological warfare. psychological warfare you could call it propaganda or information operations. i would encourage everybody to understand what psychological warfare is. they are now called information support operations. i feel that disinformation this used in warfare i would consider

this country at war internally with political ideology. i encourage people to understand what propaganda is. michael j waller who teaches at >> we'll leave this here to keep our over 40-year commitment to live gavel to gavel coverage of congress. u.s. house is returning to finish work on a bill to prevent public schools and college that is receive federal funding from housing undocumented immigrants. members are also expected to start debate on re-authorizing federal aviation administration program, 104 amendments are allowed on the bill. we take you live now to the house floor here on c-span.
