we don't know when kyle rittenhouse will testify but it could be this week. >> the trial has moved at a pretty quick pace. gabe gutierrez on the ground for us. thank you all for being with us this hour. we'll be back tomorrow with more "meet the press daily." mnbc continues with my friend chris jansing right now. >> reporter: good afternoon. we begin with breaking news on capitol hill this afternoon where the investigation into the attack on the u.s. capitol is expanding. the house select committee probing events of january 6th have issued a new volley of subpoenas, all to members of former president donald trump's inner circle. among them, form are national security adviser michael flynn, conservative lawyer john eastman and former new york city police commissioner bernard kerik, closely tied to rudy giuliani.

eastman and kerik are believed to have attended meetings at the command center, a posh suite at the willard hotel where a block from the white house "the washington post" reports trump's most loyal lieutenants were working day and night with one goal in mind, overturning the results of the 2020 election. the committee also sent subpoenas to three members of the trump reelection campaign, campaign manager bill stepan, senior advisor jason miller and the executive assistant angela mccallum. mccallum apparently made calls to michigan lawmakers in december of 2020 urging them to override the state's votes and appoint more loyal electors. >> we want to know when there's a resolution in the house to appoint electors for trump, if the president can count on you to join in support. >> the committee wants these six witnesses to provide documents before thanksgiving and appear in person for testimony in early

december. nbc news has reached out to all six for comment. and that's not all. overnight trump waged and lost a legal fight to block the national archives from sending documents to the january 6th committee. a judge called trump's request for an emergency injunction, quote, premature. joining me is garrett haake. political national correspondent and contributor betsy woodruff swann and former prosecutor and msnbc glen kerschner. >> chris, has you pointed out, these potential witnesses will have some time before they have to be deposed. it would be that thanksgiving week when they'd be expected to provide documents. depositions wouldn't come until mid december. we know there's perhaps more outstanding subpoenas from this

committee that we could get our hand on relatively soon. late last week the chairman, bennie thompson, told reporters he had signed off on 20 subpoenas. these are only six. the expectation is we could learn about the continued effort of this committee to pursue, as you see in this batch of subpoenas, both high and low-level figures in the trump campaign and some longstanding members of the trump orbit. of the six the only person to respond to any of our requests was bennie bennie kerik who sai found the press release to be defamatory. whether he'll cooperate, we shall see. >> we have a long list of names. we have subpoenas for 15 other people before today, including steve bannon and mark meadows. so when you look at the big picture, how do these latest folks fit in and what does this

list tell you? >> you know, this tells me, chris, that they're trying to go right to the heart of the preparation and the planning for the attack on the capitol on january 6th. this meeting, the so-called war council meeting at the willard hotel, it made it seem like the willard was conspiracy central for trump and company. it's interesting because so many of these witnesses seem to have a right against self-incrimination. john eastman who comes up with a six-point plan to overthrow democracy and deny the incoming president his rightful win, that plainly gives rise, in my opinion, to a privilege against self-incrimination. when we saw jeffrey clark come in and testify, he did everything he could to avoid testifying without invoking a fifth amendment right. the constitution gives you that

right and that can't be held against in you court but it can be held against you in the court of public opinion. i'm interested to see whether the witnesses, one, appear or take the steve bannon route and just refuse to show up and if they do appear, what kind of privilege, legitimate or bogus, do they try to assert? >> the committee is issuing subpoena after subpoena but as garrett points out, not a lot of cooperation so far. are you hearing anything that any of these folks is willing to cooperate? >> we haven't gotten any smoke signals suggesting this group of folks is going to play ball with the committee. just from reading through the list of names, it's unlikely these folks will be forthcoming. michael flynn and bernie kerik received presidential pardons from trump during his presidency and they're folks who feel a very strong personal loyalty to

him and they know a whole lot about how trump and his allies worked together to overturn the election results. flynn was president at what was maybe the craziest meeting in the oval office during trump's presidency on december 18th when a number of top administration lawyers, as well as flynn and other conspiracy purveyors gathered to argue back and forth about whether the president should take extreme steps like trying to use national security authorities to seize voting machines. that's been reported a number of places. and according to some reporting about that meeting, flynn actually said to the president you need fighters, you need people who are going to be willing to fight for you. in retrospect that sounds even more disturbing than it would have sounded even at the time that conferring was going on. i think the likelihood that flynn plays ball with this committee, my guess is they're not holding their breath. if you issue a subpoena, it's because people have already refused to cooperate voluntarily. some folks want subpoena to give

them air cover, friendly subpoenas, so they can say i didn't have a choice, i had to cooperate. i doubt in the cases of flynn and kerik that that's in play whatsoever. >> so obviously this ratchets up the pressure on merrick garland, right? the question people are asking, if there's no teeth behind a congressional subpoena, if there's no penalty for ignoring a congressional subpoena, if the justice department won't take action, then why even have that kind of power? what can you say about that? >> yeah, precisely, chris. i mean, issuing subpoenas is easy and forcing subpoenas is hard. and right now the legislative bridge, the co-equal branch of government is at the whim at the department of justice. we're on day 19 of the bannon indictment watch. now, i understand the new u.s. attorney for the district of

columbia, former colleague of mine, matt graves was just confirmed, he just took over, so maybe that is what accounts for some of the delay. but, you know, day 19, this is a very easy case, in my opinion, on the facts, the evidence and the law to indict. so the question becomes, you know, if these new witnesses that were just subpoenaed refuse to appear and are voted in contempt and referred for criminal prosecution, what will the department of justice do? will that do any good? or should congress finally resort to its own inherent power of contempt and enforce its open subpoenas? >> what are you hearing, garrett when you talk to the committee in. >> they're looking to the justice department. >> is something going to happen? are they feeling confident?

>> they have the hope but they can't send out people kicking down doors either. part of it is the planning of when and how and to whom subpoenas are issued. this was in discussion in the first trump impeachment, the question of do you send the subpoena if you think it won't be followed? because you've got to follow up or else your subpoenas look like they're not worth the paper they're printed on. that's part of the thinking and discussion that goes into each and every one of these subpoenas that has to be filed, whether there's some other way to get the information you're speaking. expect to hear a lot about this whether they want to start subpoenaing members of this body itself. >> let's talk about this additional request from trump lawyers, asking them to block the access to the archives. remind us what we suspect is in

these documents. >> according to the national archives themselves who put a filing in late one friday night detailing the record, this particular tranche of documents that trump's team is trying to block including call logs, visitor logs from the white house that day, the kind of records that ultimately become the record, visitors logs and includes documents that could be quite sensitive, including notes that mark meadows took, notes taken on mark meadow's stationary throughout the events of that day. the fact that the committee cast a very broad subpoena means that the records that they're seeking includes documents that they would have i think a very easy shot of persuading the court they should be able to get, along with documents that might give a judge a little bit of pause. that said, those facts are now beside the issue because the judge has given the green light to the national archives moving forward and sending these very, very interesting and potentially regulatory documents over to

capitol hill. now, we expect trump's legal tale to appeal. it would signal to the justice department potentially that the former president is not -- is abusing his executive privilege claims and that's a factor that folks over at d.o.j., including matthew graves, are likely to consider when they're deciding whether or not to bring charges against bannon. there's no question prosecutors at d.o.j. are closely watching what that third co-equal branch of government, the judiciary says, about this thorny executive privilege issue. >> and then you have congressman paul gosar, big trump supporter, tweeted a video of himself

murdering -- this is one of the weirdest things i've seen a member of congress tweet and they tweet a lot of weird stuff. we have a call out to mccarthy's office. mccarthy has not shown a lot of willingness to engage with his more right wing, inflammatory members when they behave in ways like this in the past. with congress out for the week, we may see a strategy to lay lw and hope this goes away by the time they get back. >> in any or workplace, it might even be grounds for termination but is there anything illegal about it? >> it's a firing offense.

who wants to be one cubicle over from someone tweeting this kind of stuff? is it a crime? it comes closest to communicating a threat. i don't think prosecutors would bring a charge based on a cartoon animated attack that gosar puts out on some of his fellow members of our government. i don't think that is a serious threat designed to convey that i'm intending to do harm to this person. it is distasteful, it is crazy, as i think garrett suggested, it's probably a fireable offense. i don't think we're going to see any criminal charges. >> and they raise money off it so there's an incentive to do it. great to see all of you today. republicans aren't targeting

potential january 6th but they are targeting those who voted yes on infrastructure. and new developments in the travis scott concert tragedy. travis scott concert tragedy there are beautiful ideas that remain in the dark. but with our new multi-cloud experience, you have the flexibility you need to unveil them to the world. ♪

dose. yet across the state hospitals are right back where they started in some cases, rising case numbers, strapped resources and dwindling icu beds and no one is quite sure why. joining me from aurora, colorado, nbc news correspondent steve patterson. steve, what do we know about this surge? >> reporter: well, what we can tell you is that it has been devastating to hospital systems here in colorado already, and we may not even be close to a winter peak, which may be, again, another month away or so. hospitals are dealing with that. meanwhile, as for why the spike is happening, doctors are don't really know why. they have a list of reasons and all of them may be true, anything from the seasonality of the virus, maybe it's more affected by the cold, maybe it impacts people because the cold weather keeps people inside and close together and maybe the

mask mandates is wearing off and the delta variant has been raging through the entire country, including the state of california. it may also be vaccinations. despite the high rate, there are a few pockets where it's bad, 30%, and almost forms a petri dish as people travel. the hospital system is hurting, it's struggling, it's bursting at the seam in some places and pop here are overwhelmed. i spoke to a doctor inside here what's about what's happening. >> what you're seeing is health care breaking. hospitals are full, full stop. they are full. the icus are full. the regular hospital beds are full. we are delaying and cancelling surgeries. we are not transferring very sick patients who are in smaller hospitals to bigger hospitals because there is no capacity. regular care is being delayed.

>> reporter: of course we were hammered over the head with get vaccinated. that is the big message coming from this health system and others across the state, the majority of people sick with covid inside taking up a bed are unvaccinated. less than 100 icu beds in the state, 90% of them are occupied by people who are unvaccinated. >> i guess i was doing some wishful thinking. i thought we were past the point of saying things like health care is breaking. do you have see a likely explanation for what's happening in colorado? and the obvious follow to that is what can be done about it? >> it's likely a combination of several factors, that we got a more contagious delta variant that's bathed the country and we have pockets of unvaccinated individuals, some have high-risk

conditions that put them at risk for hospitalization and we have people moving indoors because it's getting colder and that's a more risk-prone environment. and then you have the fact that people have gotten tired of this pandemic, they're starting to get back to their normal activities. all of that is probably causing that mix. the country is on very different timelines for the delta variant. the south got hit earlier. in colorado, it is unvaccinated individuals that are taking up bed and taking up icu space. we have a solution at hand. this is still willful when it's occurring. people are not getting vaccinated at a rate high enough to keep this at bay. >> for a lot of folks who are vaccinated, there are questions about boosters. pfizer is expected to expand

their booster to include all adults. we haven't herd back yet but is there a benefit as you see it to making boosters available to all instead of, say, a tiered rollout? >> when it comes to boosters, the threshold to me is to see protection against serious disease, hospitalization and death wearing off. we haven't seen that in the general population. so that's why boosters are really prioritized there. i haven't seen data to show a healthy person gets a major effect from boosting. i think this is still going to be a bit controversial. this was voted down by the fda committee when pfizer asked for this earlier and i haven't seen the data move. i think we need to prioritize boosters to where they have the most benefit. >> there's a new survey from the

kaiser foundation who believe or aren't sure about eight false statements about covid-19, the pandemic and vaccines. there's just still so much misinformation out there and it being put out by the likes of aaron rodgers. one company kept him as a sponsor, one dropped him. state farm where rodgers has been a spokesperson for nearly a decade standing by him writing, "we don't support some of the statements he's made but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. we recognize our customer, employees come from all walks of life with different issues on all issues and our mission is to support safer, stronger communities. we recommend vaccination but respect everybody's right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances." what message is the company sending?

at the end. -- at the end of the day does it matter? >> to me it says they're going to pander to the unvaccinated. i and this kind of coddling of those who have shunned science makes no sense to me. this is an insurance company and they're about public safety and they're allowing a spokesperson who has shunned public safety and actually lied about it. >> doctor, thank you so much for being with us today. up next, new fallout and a new lawsuit from a 9-year-old fighting for his life after that concert tragedy in texas. and a dramatic day in court at the trial of kyle rittenhouse in wisconsin. what the jury saw. enhouse in wisconsin. what the jury saw. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪

>> i'm a big guy and i can't control it. >> i can't breathe, i can't breathe. there's really no excuse for it. >> the many videos of that mass tragedy tell a harrowing story and are going to be key to the criminal investigation and all the investigations. tell us where things stand right now. >> reporter: well, chris, this is really a growing investigation right now that also involves the fbi. you really get a sense of how much investigators have to work with at this point. you mention the videos. we're talking about cell phone videos that were posted to social media and those not posted to social media. but you also have surveillance

video that has been provided to investigators and you have at an event with 50,000 people plenty of witness statements to go through. all of that is going to be a focus for investigators and attorneys. the lawsuits filed seems to be growing by the minute it feels like. earlier this morning i saw benjamin krump, who represents the family of the 9-year-old. he was on his father's shoulder as this concert was happening and he is now in a medically induced coma. attorneys are getting access to the site. listen to what benjamin crump designed the scene today. >> there are clothes and shoes everywhere. it literally looks like a war zone. it's analogous to what our clients tell us, that they were just fighting for their life.

a lot of them had to leave bare-footed because they are trying to survive. >> reporter: now, i did ask about ezra's condition, he said he's still in that medically induced coma, he has severe brain damage and kidney damage and is fighting for his little life. his family is still asking for prayers to make sure this tragedy doesn't extend beyond what it has already so far. travis scott has become a focus for many of these lawsuits. we did hear from the fire chief today who said in his personal opinion he believes that the show should have been stopped. travis scott did express remorse, expressing sorrow for the family. we do know he's providing for all the victims that were lost, the eight who died at the concert, he's providing for their funeral costs, for attendees of these show, he's making mental health services available to them and they're also getting refunds. he has a show scheduled later

this week in vegas. he has now cancelled that show. you get a sense the spotlight is growing on his actions as they go through the mountains of video and the planning of this concert that resulted in the lives of eight people. >> thank you. we continue to follow two significant trials going on right now. in wisconsin, the kyle rittenhouse trial is still under way but less than an hour ago the state officially rested its case. this morning we heard from the milwaukee county medical examiner who detailed the fatal wounds of the two men who rittenhouse is charged with killing. the defense is set to call at least three witnesses, one of them, and this is extremely rare in a murder case, kyle rittenhouse himself. joining me, nbc news correspondent gabe gutierrez and georgetown law school professor and former prosecutor paul butler, also an msnbc legal

analyst. gabe, tell us about today what stood out for you. >> there was some dry testimony at the medical examiner looking at some of the autopsy photos, which can be tough to look at. but we did hear from the medical examiner this morning and as he mentioned a short time ago, the prosecution has rested its case. another development just a short time ago, the judge in this case actually dismissed one of the counts against kyle rittenhouse, the curfew violations. the reason being essentially the judge agreed with defense that the prosecution really didn't address that during -- as it was laying out this case. so now the defense is taking center stage at this point, chris. back to you. >> walk us through what we expect when the defense takes over and particularly when we might hear from rittenhouse. >> reporter: well, we don't know exactly when we'll hear from rittenhouse. the defense attorneys during their opening statements indicated he would testify.

that could potentially happen later this week. right now we are hearing on the witness stand from somebody called by the defense to set up why kyle rittenhouse was there, essentially he was protecting this car dealership in kenosha. we could potentially hear from the roommate of the man who rittenhouse shot and wounded. we might hear from his roommate as well as a self-defense expert that may go into detail on why rittenhouse was actually defending himself. of course, chris, as you know, the central question in this case is the prosecution arguing that rittenhouse was some sort of vigilante or saw himself as such and he was drawn to trouble. the defense really trying to pick apart that case and trying to establish that rittenhouse only fired on those who attacked him in some way or confronted him in some way. the defense now laying out its case, just started a short time ago. >> correct me if i'm wrong

because i'm not a lawyer, i've just covered some trials in my day. conventional wisdom is in a murder case in particular the defendant does not take the stand, unless you're in real trouble. the defense saying early on that they expected him to take the stand. they could not have necessarily foreseen where this case would be right now, but what do you make of it and what will you be watching for? >> chris, if defense attorneys promise something in an opening statement, they have to deliver it or the jurors will hold it against them. in their opening statement the defense lawyers promised that mr. rittenhouse would take the stand. that will be the most dramatic and important moment of this trial. >> why would you do that? strategically, why would you do that? >> you don't typically in a homicide case, especially murder, but if self-defense is the theory, that's a little different. jurors want to hear the story of

the defendant, but it's risky because the defendant, mr. rittenhouse, will also be subject to intense cross-examination from very skilled prosecutors. the judge, chris, has made it a little bit easier for mr. rittenhouse because he's prevented evidence about mr. rittenhouse's previous episodes of violence, like when he beat up a teen-age girl or when he said he wish he could shoot people who he suspected were shoplifting. >> let talk about the prosecution case. i know you weren't in the courtroom so you're not privy to every single thing that happened, but based on what you know about it and the strategy of the prosecution, did they do what they needed to do? >> the prosecution is facing an uphill battle. some of its own witnesses have supported the defense theory that mr. rittenhouse faced a deadly threat. what the jury has to decide is whether rittenhouse was the aggressor. if he started the fights with

the three people who he shot, he can't claim self-defense under the law. but if mr. rittenhouse was attacked first, he's entitled to use force to save his own life. >> paul butler, dave gutierrez, thanks to both of us. >> jurors in the ahmaud arbery case heard evidence in the case. here's how one officer described a conversation with one of the accused men. >> while speaking with you, did he ever use the word burglary? >> no, ma'am. >> did he ever use the word trespass? >> no, ma'am. >> did he ever tell you he was attempting to make a citizens arrest? >> no, ma'am. >> we are going to continue to monitor developments in both of

>> that was the latest biden cabinet member to give the newly passed infrastructure message the hard sell. that will continue tomorrow when the president visits baltimore to focus on the package's popular components. but democrats are far from alone in the behind-the-scenes drama. today is shifts to the 13 gop house members who voted yes on that infrastructure bill. bunch bowl reports republican leadership is bracing for rank-and-file members to attempt to strip committee assignments from their colleagues as retaliation for supporting president biden's agenda. i'm old enough to remember the day when you often got a pass from your colleagues because they knew you were going to have a fight and you had to do what

your constituents wanted to you do. what's going on behind the seens scenes and what you see happening here? >> things have really changed on those days of yore, i guess. you have these rank-and-file members who are really frustrated with the few members who did -- the republican members who voted in support of this infrastructure package. they wanted it to be illustrated it wasn't bipartisan and make sure that speaker pelosi had to get across that 218 threshold on her own and republicans weren't going to help her out. that didn't happen because there's a lot of frustration by members who didn't support it and representative patko, who believes this bill is good for his district. he's in a tough reelection. there's a lot of those members who wanted to support it. this is another one of those tension points where you're starting to see in the republican party where everybody needs to be in unison or there's

not a lot of room for disagreement or to cross party lines. i doubt they will actually be successful in stripping them of their committee assignments but it's certainly notable. >> let's just lay out where we are. you have a republican party that basically hasn't just looked the other way but, frankly, has said that's ridiculous when you have a commission that's subpoenaing them, right? legitimate subpoenas being issued. and you have people who are, again, not saying anything when one of their colleagues tweets something that shows an attack against alexandria ocasio-cortez and president biden but they're willing to go against their own members when arguably it's certainly their constituents want.

is that where we are? >> we have these trumpian republicans, they are posed to the infrastructure package and are out for retribution. if democrats had been able to move faster people have probably seen 30-plus republicans vote in support of this infrastructure package because it is one of those classic bills in congress where you actually are getting money in your district, shovels in the ground as they always say, on capitol hill so they can see you as a member of congress are actually doing something. because trump was against it and republicans didn't want to give democrats this bipartisan win, it was something that was key to joe biden's agenda and he said, listen, i came to washington to bring people together and i have. it's not a win these republican members wanted to give him.

it's not enough to say they're just frustrated, they're saying maybe we're going to take away your committee assignment, which is something we haven't seen before. >> is there any consideration that some of these republicans are going to face democrats who say you know how they're fixing your school or they're fixing your road, this guy voted against it. they're not concerned at all about that? >> so far it doesn't seem as though republicans are concerned about that. i think it's going to be something you are going to see democrats who run in these races against them to do campaign ads where we're bringing money back to your own states and your own districts has been one of the tenets of the most successful members of congress in the past. >> more of the great reporting from punch bowl news. thank you, anna, appreciate it. when we come back, one consequence of covid most of us have struggled with at one time or another -- insomnia. if you're dreaming of a better night's sleep, a new study may finally provide an answer for you.

questions so many have been asking since the start of the pandemic. why can't i get a good night sleep. kerry sanders has the answer for us. hey there, kerry. >> chris i'm at the sleep life center where every day they bring in patients and hook them up to electrodes like this and use these leads to monitor how they sleep. we all know we're supposed to get between 6 and 8 hours of sleep a night and a new study shows when we sleep is also critically important and there appears to be a relationship between when we go to sleep and heart disease. now we all know mom was right, going to bed and getting a good night sleep makes it so much easier to get through the day. but now, new research shows the exact time you go to bed could determine how healthy your heartbeats. the european society of cardiology's latest study shows falling asleep between 10:00 and

11:00 p.m. lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, warning early or late bedtimes may be more likely to disrupt the body clock. the study which followed 88,000 people in the united kingdom for nearly six years found night owls who went to bed after midnight had a 25% higher risk. surpriingly those who said good night before 10:00 had a 24% higher risk. when compared to those who fell asleep in that golden hour, between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. the connection between clocking what time you go to sleep and cardiac risk even more pronounced among women. >> people have a tendency to think of cognitive health when they think of sleep. when you're asleep it gives your heart rest and relax for the rest of the day. when you shorten that time your heart unfortunately doesn't get the rest that it needs.

>> americans still adjusting to life after covid locktowns report they're increasingly finding it a struggle to get the snooze time they need. since the pandemic began, researchers around the globe have seen a surge in sleep disorders, two of every three american adults report they're sleeping more or less than they want to. how can you combat what they're calling coronasomnia. >> set a reminder on your phone and second have an accountability partner, and don't scroll on your phone. >> the infrared camera monitoring somebody while they're sleeping and over here leads giving back data. now this study from england does not give a direct causation of the time we go to sleep and heart disease. it's just an observation but what we do know is the circadian rhythms that we do have at night

do ultimately impact not only our mental outlook when we wake up in the morning and through the day, but also our physical bodies. chris? >> nbc's kerry sanders, so fascinating. i deny ever texting my producers after the golden hour. they may dispute that. that's going to do if for me today. i'm chris jansing. hallie jackson picks up our coverage next.
