support for an infrastructure package? >> we'll see what the plan would be but there is a desire to do infrastructure. i just continue to be amazed at this new socialist democratic party that even when you have both sides agree in committee, unanimously, the leadership makes sure that is not the bill that hits the floor. just like when prescription drugs when we all agreed where the prices would come down, the options would be greater, they put a poison pill in it. just like we agreed in ways and means every republican and every democrat that every parent could to help with their education. k-12, if you are home schooled or others. they removed the bill, that portion of the bill. i question if that leadership ever wants to solve a problem, i wish you all good memorial day. please remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. >> harris: you are watching live new reaction on capitol hill,
9:01 am
that was house minority leader kevin mccarthy talking on range of issues and answering questions on yesterday's meeting at the white house that got cut short after speaker nancy pelosi accused president of engaging in cover-up and the president demanding end to the "phony investigation," you are watching "outnumbered" and yes it has intenseified today. fox business dagen mcdowell, democratic minority leader and in the center seat, former utah congressman jason. when you see days like that, i kind of understand why you moved on. chippy on capitol hill these days. >> yeah, it is. temperatures are rising and coming up in the country. nancy pelosi has taken it to a whole new level. >> harris: speaking of the speaker, nancy pelosi doubled
9:02 am
down today, accusing the president of a cover-up and calling for an intervention by his family and staff saying he had a temper tantrum, this after the president ended a closed-door meeting on infrastructure, the president tweeted this today. i was extremely calm yesterday in the meeting knowing they would say i was raging, which they always do, along with their partner, the fake news media. so many stories about the meeting used the rage narrative, fake and corrupt press, exclamation point. counselor to the president kellyanne conway, who was at that meeting said democrats are distorting what happened. >> the stories, the presidency was in a rage, temper tantrums, there was none of that. he never raised his voice. came in, sat at the end of the table and said, folks, i want to do infrastructure and great things for this country, we've been doing great things.
9:03 am
within the last hour, you had a meeting and came out and said i'm engaged in a cover-up, that is not true. he took the case to nancy pelosi, she is the one who said the president was engaged in a cover-up, which was nonsense. >> harris: the speaker can't seem to stop talking about it. she doubled down on cover-up claim. watch. >> speaker pelosi: i said coverup, we've been saying cover-up for a while. what got to him, court cases and the fact that house democratic caucus not attached to impeachment and that is where he wants us to be. i pray to the president of the united states, i wish his family or staff would have an intervention for the good of the country. the >> harris: minority leader showed you kevin mccarthy responding live to the speaker. >> the idea that the speaker of the united states congress would
9:04 am
walk out and claim something that was not true. right before she wants to meet with the president, to me, that is irresponsible. >> harris: this just got to me, a lot more serious when you have somebody who as far as i know, is not a practicing member of the medical profession calling for an intervention for the president of the united states. >> it is down-right shameful for the speaker of the house to say there needs to be an intervention, make the wild claim he wants impeachment, there is no basis for it and no basis for it should be called for what it is. i think she's responding to the radical side of her party. she went into an hour-long meeting and walked out and had a new tone that is combative, it will not move the country forward and it is highly offensive. she's putting words in the president's mouth that just weren't there. >> harris: what is interesting, capri, we are reading about the division in the democratic
9:05 am
party. those pressing nancy pelosi to put up or shut up, basically, it is, you talked about what you were going to do, we put democrats in leadership in the house and regardless of healthcare, the most left leaning in the party want impeachment or something like it. what do you do if you are the speaker of the house, you know you can't do that. >> i think she recognizes and listen, she just said it, we heard that clip of her saying president trump is upset because he knows that we're not on the path to impeachment and that is what he wants. no question in my mind -- >> harris: sounds like she's trying to sell something to the far left. >> she very well may be. look, i was a caucus leader, nothing like being speaker of the house, i know what happens when you have division within the party, you have to put a brave face on and show your message. she is trying to re-vamp and say, look, you know, we're not going to go there. that doesn't mean they will stop the oversight process on --
9:06 am
>> harris: she can't stop that anyway. >> she certainly could if she wanted to. >> harris: boy, that would be interesting, wouldn't it? >> she will not allow impeachment to go to the floor, period. >> i wouldn't say that right now. i will quote from the "wall street journal" editorial, they say it better than i can, engaged in coverup from nancy pelosi, the remark is part of daily act of political cognitive dissidence, in should she accuses mr. trump while imposing impeachment lest jeopardize democrats in 2020. there is more push from the very left leaning democrats because they know they are boxed into a corner in terms of the investigations, unless they start impeachment proceedings. impeachment proceedings in the house gives the democrats access to more information from the
9:07 am
white house, greater investigative tools and in terms of the white house's power to invoke executive privilege, it narrows it. the only way this ball is going to keep rolling is if they begin impeachment proceedings and "wall street journal" suggests once that ball starts, you can't stop it and it heads to a full vote. >> harris: you segue us. what can democrats do now? pop that up. continue the russian investigation, 44%, 53%, drop it and move on. seeing tick up in that, why do you snng >> i would say since the day the mueller investigation came out, the report was issued, i have been asking the same fundamental question, nancy pelosi repeated today, the president is engaged in a coverup and i asked of what. of what? when i ask democrats on the couch that yesterday, you can't come up with the of what.
9:08 am
oh, he's obstructing. but of what? he's covering up what? they are on a treasure hunt. they are trying to get tax records, anything they can find. they are sure if they -- >> that is not the russia investigation. >> stop, there is a pony under it somewhere, if you keep digging and digging and digging. i would ask americans out there, if you had agencies coming after you and they were on a hunt, had no idea what they were looking for, were going through your life and alla records and saying you are covering up. what am i covering up? i don't know, but i will find it. >> harris: capri, i understand what you are saying, this is the russia investigation and the tax return and all that. my question for you, do you think democrats or anybody in politics act autonomously? >> it is not conspiratorial to say things can connect together. how do we know that? bob mueller showed us the areas he wanted to kick the
9:09 am
prosecutors in southern district. >> that is what he did, some things can come back. >> i understand what you are saying to say this is not the russia investigation. i'm going back to the cbs poll we just -- >> harris: okay, get to it. move on. >> the russia investigation, it is specificity. >> democrats, lots of people. >> fair enough. you know that i've said move on from the russia investigation. there are a number of other issues that are not necessarily the russia investigation and that is where we're seeing with the exception of the obstruction of justice aspect of this, which is judiciary committee, jerry nadler and everything else. it is tax returns, it is the -- >> harris: once led the oversight committee as chairman, did you ever think we would get to this point? >> no there is a special prosecutor in place. to melissa's point, donald trump could have claimed executive privilege. he didn't. he could have claimed he had attorney-client privilege, he
9:10 am
didn't. he had don mcgahn give 30 hours of testimony. mueller had every resource at his disposal and no charges. and congress cannot charge anybody. congress does not do that, they don't give them handcuff. >> can i say something about the deut deut deutche bank thing, the biden children took over a billion dollars from the chinese government. who are we having problems with right now? china. you don't need to subpoena anyone's tax records to see that the kerry children and biden children raised money from china. >> none of them are running for president. >> what they can -- >> their kids are not -- >> when you talk about the trump organization, they say the kids are doing it, it was the moscow tower. the moscow tower -- >> are you kidding me? >> if there is issue with
9:11 am
biden's kids or kerry's kids, let's make that up, too. no one is above the law f. there are issues, look at them, as well. >> it is not an issue, it is in the public. conflicted interest. >> i am praying for the united states. you know what democrats are praying for? >> bless your heart. >> yes, praying for recession, only way they are winning anything next year. >> oh, wow. >> family member on the couch who was chairman of the oversight committee. >> i really get stuck on this idea that he's covering up something. he has been the most open and transparent with special counsel who went through entirety and found nothing. >> why is bob mueller so unpopular with democrats? >> why is jerry nadler trying to get him to come testify? >> why does jerry nadler walk six blocks and read nearly all unredacted, 98.5% mueller report. serve snacks in that thing. >> exactly.
9:12 am
[laughter] >> anyway, move on. >> harris: fox news alert, devastating weather leaving at least three people dead in missouri. the state capital, jefferson city, took a direct hit from a massive twister. the city is now in disaster mode. the governor has really been focused. people trapped in their homes. house to house searches underway. officials calling the damage catastrophic. matt has more from jefferson city. between the twitter account and what the governor had to say, monoy mono, it is tough. >> yeah, the governor is saying it is a terrible loss, harris. three people are dead in golden city, missouri. he's thankful no one perished here in jefferson city, but acknowledges people are without homes. this is residential area where people lost their houses. apartment units are crushed. cars are mangled, trees uprooted and launched and power lines are down.
9:13 am
people who evacuated last night are returning to assess the damage. jefferson city police say a violent tornado touched down 11:40 p.m. many calls received for people trapped inside their homes. 20 people were transferred to local hospitals. we have seen rescue crews going door to door and climbing over debris. crews will do that all day long. we talked to one young man who said he and his mom curled up together and prepared to potentially die. >> i'm living or i'm dying, you just have to survive and hopefully you can make it through, you can't say i love you enough until you are gone. the ladies over here, i yell, are you okay? pray to god everyone is okay. >> police are crediting people here for heeding warnings and tornado sirens. there is damage at state buildings, they are asking nonessential employees to stay home. this area is not out of the
9:14 am
woods yet. there are more potential tornados and flooding in the forecast. harris >> harris: matt, thank you very much. segue back to politics in the state of virginia. the democrats, after inquiry into racist photo on the governor's college yearbook page wraps up. has mainstream media moved on? deterring iran, the works that could send thousands of additional u.s. troops to the middle east and ratcheting tensions. reaction from secretary of state, mike pompeo. state mike pompeo. is that net carbs or total?...

9:19 am
sure we have resources necessary to respond that they should decide to attack american interests or airmen and marines. this is important mission, 40 years of terror out of islamic border of iran. president trump is determined to change that. >> martha: mike pompeo weighing in as pentagon will present plans to send up to 10,000 troops to the middle east. a move to counter potential iranian threats. officials say no final decision has been made. it is not clear if the white house would approve sending all or just some of the requested forces. fox senior strategic analyst general jack keene,s this is about getting iran to the renegotiating table and the white house pressure on iran is working. >> the economy in the tank and inflation up 37%, yet congress contacted 6% and this is notable.
9:20 am
power shortages routinely, food shortages, civil unrest growing in the country. remember where we are going with this, going to political solution, what this administration is trying to achieve. get iran back to the negotiating table to work out a better deal. >> harris: do you buy that? >> i do. i think it is right. i buy into the reagan strategy of peace through strength. i think as we go into appropriate season, we need to be able to fight on two fronts, in the pacific and be able to have essentially unlimited resources in the middle east to keep the peace. i think the president is doing the right thing. you could look back two years, when the president and the republican congress started ratcheting up by the tens of billions of dollars, the resources, that can be capped into. they have been able to increase the infrastructure, get troops we need in place. it is absolutely to keep the peace. >> harris: he says we're trying for political solution, what does that look like? it is hard to imagine what that
9:21 am
looks like with iran? >> well, look, a lot, be honest, about oil and keeping oil flowing. if you can do that with iran and say, if you want to be part of the world economy, you have to be a nice neighbor and i think you can push them by economic sanctions and the military strength in keeping the peace and getting to the negotiating table. >> harris: to stop assassinating people around the world, that is what mike pompeo said, stopping assassinating -- >> by funding terrorists. >> weren't we on the road to placing like the iranian government on state-sponsored terror list because of things they have been doing and there are human rights violations and murdering people. that needs to be part of the solution, as well. one thing that confuses me a little on this, the fact president trump, several weeks ago had said they were looking to pull troops out of this had region. granted, things have changed and
9:22 am
iran has ratcheted up. they are ratcheting up their rhetoric and move, we have to, i think, appropriately counter, but how far are we going down this? it will cost money, i don't know how much the american public has the case to go into a never-ending war again or ground war with iran, hopefully it is a diplomatic strategy. >> harris: last administration dipping in here and there, this is what secretary pompeo had to say about that. >> unusual and more importantly tis wrong. every american should support america's foreign policy. they had their moment, had their day. time to get off the stage. we know the logan act and the risk that is taken when private citizens on behalf of the united states government. >> harris: former secretary john kerry, one thing he's referring to when he said he is making phone calls and reaching out. >> he was after the deal was
9:23 am
brokered. sanctions were in place on american companies. we was telling european and uk banks to start doing business with iran, they wanted iran to have access to financial networks, that is one lynch pen in all of this. we can't afford not to act at this point. it doesn't fall on president trump's shoulders what iran is doing, it falls on iran's shoulders and the windfall that country received, a state sponsor of terror, designated by the u.s., when we brokered the deal by the obama administration with iran at the time, they got a windfall that they then used to finance terrorist activities. it was the war in yemen against the saudis, propping up bashar al assad in syria. they tried to establish basically a threat to israel on the syrian border. let's talk about growing
9:24 am
ballistic missile production and funding terrorist militia in hezbollah and in lebanon and then hamas in gaza. it is appalling the reason they are where they are with terrorist activities is because money they got from the obama administration iran deal. >> harris: i'll be quick, trying to verify through the government whether bashar al assad used chemical weapons on his people again, that is this week. this is part of bigger picture and strategy and not just focused on iran, place that we know has killed americans on the ground in syria. it is part of a bigger strategy, we have to be patient and see what happens. other things are going on while we talk about this. >> they are all very integrated. you are right, whether they use chloride, the president took action before, but he's going to be placed in potentially a difficult decision and to have resources to have military there
9:25 am
ready to go, one of the consequences if people act out of line. >> harris: all right, we'll move on to this. can we get the live pictures, beautiful of west side of manhattan. fleet week 2019, is about to kickoff. so pretty to see from the water. you can see the ships dock there after the parade along the hudson river. this was the 31st around fleet week, it runs through monday. the navy says about 2600 sailors, marines, coast guard, men and women and many more will be on hand. i will talk, actually, about many issues facing military men and women right now with veterans affairs secretary robert wilkie, next hour, on "outnumbered overtime." you don't want to miss it. great timing for his visit to new york. house democrats, getting their hands on some of the president's financial records. a judge deals a setback to the president's attorneys and their efforts to keep that material from congress. will this help or hurt democrats

9:30 am
>> harris: the house financial services committee is getting its hands on some of the president's financial documents, just a day after a federal judge ruled that even more additional banks can hand over documents in response to congressional subpoenas. the trump family and company sued deutsche bank and capital one last month to block them from turning over information to the democrat-led committee. the president's lawyers wrote this quote. the subpoenas were issued to harass president trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses and the information of the president and his family and to ferit about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage.
9:31 am
schumer saying the court ruling shows speaker pelosi's strategy to build the case for impeachment is working. >> you had two court cases that said get to the inards of what donald trump fears, revelation of finances and dealings with banks and other things. that is going to continue to happen. more and more will come out and the public will make a decision as to should trump stay in office and that will be reflected, particularly in the senate controlled. pelosi is doing this exactly right. >> harris: you think they sit around and come up with i words, impeachment, inards. >> they are going on fishing expediti expeditions, not something about donald trump and personal finances, he doesn't even take a salary, i think he takes $1, give up his salary to be president. they are reaching back, that
9:32 am
will have a chilling effect. if democrats think they aren't going to get their own medicine moving forward, that will happen in the future. it is really insidious. >> harris: that is sad. >> it is. and not called for. what is pred cat that justifys them going and looking and suffering records. they are not required by law. political guts to introduce a bill saying this is what a president should have to give. >> talking about tax returns specifically or whatever -- >> donald trump has complied with every single thing he's required to do by law. >> sure. >> nobody is taking issue with anything submitted, but now they have to get other -- >> you know as well as i do, when you file personal financial disclosures, they are expansive and broad and categorical, any place between 100,000 and one million. you wouldn't get a full picture with personal tax returns, either. >> this goes much deeper,
9:33 am
though. >> it does. >> multiple committees looking for records from deutsche bank, capital one financial, there is a separate one -- >> let me finish. >> his accounting firm, there was a judge that ruled earlier this week president trump can't block a subpoena there. this is not just him, it is his children and his own lawyer said this actually, these requests could apply to his grandchildren and his in-laws. judges rule in terms of the power to investigate and the power of oversight is very broad, jason. you were the head of the oversight committee, you might like it or not, judges are likely to side with democrats and not with the president long run. >> it clearly, the president has to appeal these. there are supreme court cases, the watkins case in particular. you can't suffer. you have to have a legislative purpose. you can't go out and look at anything and everything. there is no legislative purpose. >> i heard a democrat address
9:34 am
this two days ago, it was great. i want to get the quote right. he wants to see the president's return so he can see if there is a crime in there to write a law to address it. >>crime, there was a law on the books to address it. i think he revealed he wants to find a crime in his mind they can then write a law to say that the president broke or whatever. that statement reveals exactly what democrats, who are writing this legislation, especially in new york, are looking for. we want to see the crime and write a law to address it. >> i think you are referring to new york state legislators who are doing specific things they think they have justice over within the state of new york. that is not members of congress. >> they want a tax return, why do they want tax return? to see if there is a crime in there, legislative purpose, they asks again and again, we will write a law to address the crime
9:35 am
he's committed. >> state versus federal government, two different things. >> i've said all along, the democrats are using "new york times" stories about president trump's tax returns and his family finances going back to his father, that is the roadmap for the democrats, that is the template they are trying to embarrass him. they are trying to go through financial records and find things against donald trump. >> you might want to call some democrats and let them know. >> they are asking to see his children's finances and company finances, look at hunter biden and money he's taken directly from china when his father was on the plane on the way there, as well. it is all out there, none is hidden, all in the open, you don't need irs records to look at it. tell me how you feel about it? >> peter wrote a book about this, it is incestuous, using airport two to transport this person and less than two weeks
9:36 am
later, they get a billion plus dollars in the hedge fund account. >> harris: give you a chance to respond, capri. >> to what? >> harris: hunter biden and what we are talking about. do you have a concern? >> sure. any time there may be conflict of interest and someone in government is misutilizing power for financial gain for someone within their sphere, it means it is concerning whether or not you are democrat or republican. >> harris: should there be a deeper dive? tit for tat? >> we all have to have transparency here. >> to jason's point, if that what happens, democrats ought to be very careful, it will bite ya where the sun don't shine on this overreach. >> on the -- >> never mind. >> anita hill speaking out, why she says women are not getting a fair shake and she has some additional words for former vice
9:37 am
president joe biden. keep watching. i felt i couldn't be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free... ...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret.

>> harris: anita hill speaking out again after her treating at the clarence thomace confirmation hearing has become an issue in the 2020 presidential race. democratic women in the race are not being taken seriously as presidential candidates, if we don't take them seriously, we will not hear those voices and that would be a tragedy. hill also saying she's deeply troubled by the talk among male candidates they would favor a female running mate. this got reaction from stacy abrams and kamila harris. >> joe joe biden would be -- >> i do not believe you run for second place and i do not intend to run as primary candidate for
9:42 am
vice president. >> all this as new quinnipiac poll shows three men at the top of the pack and elizabeth warren in fourth. among liberal voters, warren leads the pack at 30%. it is insulting to say, i think this person, are you going to pick a woman as your running mate? >> cory booker was talking about how he was going to just pick a woman and didn't say who that might be. i can understand stacey abrams taking exception to that. he said he wanted her because she is a woman. second pick kamala harris. i love her response. >> i thought senator harris's comment was funniest. joe biden might be a good running mate. i get that. it is pretty demeaning and i think abrams is right, you don't
9:43 am
run for second place. you got to be careful. >> can i make a very bold statement here? as a woman and a democrat on this couch, it should never be about anyone's gender, it is about the qualifications and criteria of the individual candidate. a got a lot of flack in 2008 for endorsing barack obama over hillary clinton because she was a woman and i was in leadership at the time. i wasn't the leader, i was in leadership. how dare you not endorse the woman. guess what, this is not just about aligning with gender. one way, shape or form, it is always about checking boxes, but the same time, this shouldn't be about black, white, male, female, who is presenting the best policies and -- >> harris: can i suggest that might be the case if for weeks it's been two older men who are not tan, at the top of the leader board for your party. >> and that is the thing, you can't force people to get into a
9:44 am
box because you want to check boxes, so to speak. these are the people who are leading and it is because people are making rationale decisions based on their views. >> if you want to be taken seriously as a woman, however, you can't make it about your gender. >> amen. >> when somebody takes a shot at you on the debate stage, many debates, if you are a female candidate, don't make it after the fact, don't make it about gender. you were attacking me, we saw hillary clinton do that with bernie sanders, again, not to his face, after the fact. that is the point. go back to hillary clinton. they took women for granted. they took votes for granted and madelyn albright said there is a special place in hell for women who don't support women. a lot of female voters went, wait a second, i don't vote based on gender, how dare you wag your finger at me about
9:45 am
that. that could hurt women, if they are not careful. >> women do not think like that, my top issue is the economy, i think that is the best way to help people rise from their circumstances, by the power of your own work and that is a good economy is the great equalizer as much as possible. it doesn't work across the board, you compare to every other system, it is the best one. i vote for the person i think will create the best economy and that is my issue, has nothing to do with gender, nothing to do with race. the other things. for other people, maybe gender is their top issue and they vote on that, probably a small group. >> gender doesn't define what your ideas are going to be, just like a person of color. i never say i represent all black people, i can barely represent those i'm related to. we are individuals. >> okay. >> people are getting themselves into trouble, pick the best
9:46 am

>> when my staff showed me the photo in question yesterday, i was seeing it for the first time. i did not purchase the yearbook and i was unaware of what was on my page. when i was confronted with the images yesterday, i was appalled that they appeared on my page, but i believed then and now that i am not either of the people in that photo. >> harris: that is virginia governor ralph northam, in february, denying he appeared in a racist yearbook photo. a law firm hired by the eastern virginia medical school finished an investigation, the saying the investigators could not conclusively determine if it was northam in that photo. >> we also received cooperation of governor northam in our investigation and we interviewed him twice, with respect to the
9:51 am
photograph on governor northam's personal page, depicting an individual in black face and an individual in kkk robes, we could not determine the identity of either individual depicted in that photograph. >> harris: the governor releasing a new statement, i know and understand the events of early february and my response have caused hurt for many virginia citizens and i am sorry. rather than providing clarity, i deepened pain and confusion. one of virginia's top democrats embroiled in a scandal. two women have accused fairfax of sexual assault and mark herring has admitted to wearing black face. all three refused calls to step down. again, the media stopped covering this, jason, because again, they realized the gop was going to benefit from this. this scandal, it has come back because of this investigation,
9:52 am
found inconclusive, but again, where is the outrage? much of this has not been resolved. >> no, no. do you think they would treat a republican the same as democrats? they wiped it off the front page. go back to the governor's original comments, what he first said when this first broke, he apologized. it was clear he thought he was in the photo and he's the one person who would actually know if he was behind one of those two people f. he was one of the two people. >> harris: melissa, can we get back to the governor explaining how it works in the state? this actually took that -- every american should find those comments and people can go online and watch them, repugnant. how does he survive this? it is because he's a democrat. >> it is amazing to me the photo eclipse the comments. if you look at both things, the comments i thought were one of the most astounding things i had
9:53 am
ever heard. >> the whole moonwalk thing, the whole thing was crazy. >> comments and fantasized about -- >> talk to parents and decide what to do, whatever it was. when i read those comments, i didn't believe they were uttered and i had to go back to listen to the entire video to see how somebody could say that. that went to the way side. it is amazing, with the countdown to who resigns and they are all still there. >> one reason, not just because they are democrats, i think it is because in virginia, you have one-term governor, they basically decided they were going to hunker down and hope this storm passed and hope they could survive. that is what has happened here. i think all of their activity has just been unacceptable, all three guys. >> do we have information of where people were calling for northam's resignation? can we look at that [laughter]
9:54 am
>> let's take a look at that. okay. they are getting it. we will get it. there you go. these are all the individuals who called for northam resignation. look, some of them are running for president. >> a lot of them are. >> they didn't get their way. >> are those all the -- yeah, the 2020 dems, all running for president. where are they now? now? >> very influential within the democratic party. none of them got their way on this. they threw lip service and moved on. you got to hold somebody accountable for their words. this is the way democrats play. we have seen it play -- >> speaker of the house do an investigation? >> look, remember republicans have this problem, what did they do? got rid of committee assignments and took action. i haven't seen democrats take action on their own on any one of the cases whether in the house or the state of virginia. >> final word? >> let's look at these beautiful
