events of january 6. those were the rights of the u.s. capitol. sony americans would not accept the certification of the results. it needed 60 votes to pass this legislation and there were not 60 democrats plus republicans in order for that to happen so this legislation is effectively dead for now and that is really frustrated and majority of democrats who believed there was a need to not only investigate this but you put together a bipartisan report. an official narrative if you will of what happened. nancy pelosi reacting to this has called the republicans cowards, rejecting the truth of that dark day that will make our capital and country less safe and here is what the top democrats in the u.s. senate chuck schumer also had to say. >> the republican minority just

prevented the american people from getng the full truth about january 6. reporter: repo their committees looking into the various but the problem is these are democrat-controlled committees and the difference in this is that this legislation would have created a bipartisan investigation. those hopes of having republicans and democrats looking to the events but there are still criminal proceedings and those committee level proceedings headed by democrats. many may dismiss those as being partisan narratives. host: joining us now by skype is the former u.s. assistant secretary of public affairs and the obama administration appeared. it was a deadly attack on the capital in which five people lost their lives. one of the long-term

5:26 pm
either blue or red so there is not as much competition between the parties as there used to be but the fear is particular on the republicans if they make a top vote, if they vote for a commission like this that they then set themselves up with a primary challenge of someone who will be far more conservative than they are. that is making tough decisions, taking controversial votes are something that they are unwilling to do. host: tell us more about the hope party views the former president whose reach to influence their decision-making seems to extend the odd presidential office. guest: look at what is happened to the former number three

republican l cheney. she came out highly critical of donald trump and his role in the january 6 violence and his ongoing efforts to promote the big lie that the election was stolen. she has been stripped of her power and she is going to face a very difficult primary challenge in wyoming so a lot of people in both houses look at that dynamic and say. trump still seems to hold sway without rank and file of the republican party. host: specifically of this nature, and your mind does that make -- is the u.s. vulnerable to something similar tjanuary 6 happening again? guest: let us take an analogy of the september 11 commission.
5:28 pm
it was very political in the sense that there was a partisan environment around it but to this day, it is the authoritative account of the events leading up to of the tragedy of that particular day. that is a potential value of the junri sixth commission. you can disagree about a lot of things weather trump incited it or not but at least there is a factual basis of how that developed in the benefit of that would be at least institutionally to use that report to try make sure it does not happen again. host: thank you very much again. thank you. guest: you are welcome. host: knowing move to columbia. protesters have started gathering to mark a month of antigovernment demonstrations. this is said to be one of the
