rodney davis from illinois, did vote for the commission and sort of said this is a terrible day for americanly obstructionist, i don't want to put too many hopes on this, god bless how many times mainstream established republicans and dispointed us. i think armstrong and davis are different from the jim jordan. >> i think that's a true point and to the extent we can glean anything against from the record. she would see that mccarthy politically has a multi-prong strategy. she's got a soft spot to the right. and then he's got some other people who may or may not engage in this and who are not all in the same league of the vote and may take traditional justice or law enforcement approach. >> what does it mean to you that several members of the committee share the same objectives with the rioters which was to use that day of january 6th to overturn the election. >> republicans voted to overturn the election, no evidence at all and totally unprecedented and therefore legitimatizing. that's the majority of the republican party. we should never forget that. that has not changed. 20% or 25% of repu

. >> this week, you will also hear from republican rodney davis, of illinois, and pennsylvania democratmadeleine dean. january 6, views from the house, sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern, on c-span, c-span.org, or listen on the c-span radio app. >> president biden announced new sanctions on the cuban government during a meeting with cuban american leaders at the white house. pres. biden: okay, i'm honored to welcome members of the cuban american community and senator menendez, senator meeks, to discuss how the united states is going to continue to stand with the cuban people who have suffered decades, decades under a failed communist regime. earlier this month, cubans took to the street in a historic demonstration of the will of the people of cuba. the regime responded with violence and repression, mass detentions, sham trials and are

rodney davis of illinois, kelly armstrong, troy nails of texas.ople know who jim jordan is. the probably the most partisan republican members. tell us about the rest of the folks. >> we're going to get to know jim banks pretty well. he'll be the ranking member of the committee. he's an up and comer trying to be within house leadership. and with someone we heard a lot of mention or really wanted this job when very few republicans wanted to be associated with this committee at all. ronny davis is an interesting pick. he voted for the bipartisan commission that thought this should have gotten investigated. i think you see mccarthy throwing a bone to members of his conference who wanted to go that route with davis' pick. i'm interested in what troy nails brings to the table. he's a former sheriff. he is a freshman member from texas. he was in at the chamber on january 6th. there is photos of him up against the chamber door trying to help barricade it, deescalate the situation that day. he could be interesting. >> and the house speaker has veto power o

illinois congressman rodney davis and kelly arm strong of north dakota are also on the list.d to certify the election results. and we are joined from the hill now. manu, where do you see pelosi going on this? >> reporter: it's unclear. she said to me there that criteria is not whether they voted to certify the election. the fact that they voted to overturn the e results does not seem to mean they will not get those ultimate picks, but then i asked her what factors are you considering here. and she would not say. she said you'll wait to hear my announcement. i said are you going to make the announcement today. she said i'll make it when i'm ready. the only person who knows what she'll do is the speaker herself. the republicans believe she should move ahead. kevin mccarthy said there's no reason for her not to. when speaking to the republicans, it's clear they want the focus to be largely on the preparations as well as other matters including protests that occurred last summer involving black lives matter and other issues not just what happened on january 6th. but one of the me

she accepted rodney davis, troy nhls and kelly armstrong. mccarthy says he will yank his members and conduct his own probe if pelosi doesn't accept his picks. it's afreej just abuse of power pelosi has broke this institution. house democrats must answer this question: why are you allowing a lame duck speaker to destroy this institution? >> pelosi has already named g.o.p. wyoming representative liz cheney to the committee. >> the rhetoric that we have heard from the minority leader is disingenuous. at every opportunity the minority leader has attempted to prevent the american people from understanding what happened. >> mccarthy contends pelosi is afraid to answer questions about the riot and security preparations from jim jordan, the committee's first hearing is next week with or without the g.o.p. the committee has a quorum, reporters asked pelosi for her response when mccarthy accused her of playing politics. >> mistake him for somebody that would care about us. >> using pelosi's decision to remove jordan and banks against her. they describ

and probably one of the best communicators on behalf of the republican party s another one is rodney daviss he's willing to serve, if asked. >> i would always serve if i was asked, but leader mccarthy is going to have to make the determination who the best republicans may or may not be. we have a graet conference full of a lot of talented republicans, and i'm when he makes his final choices will do the job we need them to do for the american people. >> davis is one of the few republicans who have come forward and publicly said that they are willing to serve b. but he also admits that leader mckate hasn't yet asked him. he would be an obvious choice, his's head of the admission committee. but mccarthy has not tipped his hand just yet, or people who are going to, perhaps, actually investigate what happened on january 6th. leigh ann caldwell, thank you. >>> congressman, thank you for being with us this morning. you serve on the january 6th select committee. of the names that have been mentioned, based on our reporting, would you welcome any of those people to join us in this investigation? >>

two people on the administration committee, brian stile and rodney davis understand the ins and outsthat is a direction he'll go. i don't think he's in a rush and nancy pelosi the same conference garrett was at, i was sitting a couple seats away from him, i asked nancy pelosi what would happen if republicans took their time and did not name people immediately. she said we have a quorum. she appointed enough people to get started with or without republicans. >> garrett haake, jake sherman, happy fourth if i don't see you between now and then. i bring in select committee member congresswoman stephanie murphy of florida. so good for you to be with us on this friday of a holiday weekend. where are you? those you named who have been named to the committee held an initial meeting yesterday so we heard adam schiff say we want to get to work. are you prepared to go ahead whether or not there are more republicans? >> yes, we are getting to work. this is so important. we can't let time pass by without moving forward. we're in the process of organizing the committee and also announced one of ou

it's kelly armstrong, jim pages from indiana, rodney davis from illinois, jim jordan from ohio and troy nells from texas. their first meeting set for a week from today and look for live coverage on the c-span networks if that's available. larry is on our republican line. how do you grade president biden. >> caller: i give joe biden a zero. we vin flakes, gas 40%, stock market dropped 700% and he's like a nazi saying you take the vaccination or else and you've got people going to people's houses. what kind of crap is that? hand this caller that said what joe biden said in june, he'll assemble the greater voter fraud in history. he's a fraud and the country is going to collapse. he's a communist and those democrats think that this man is legitimate and the virus is a biological chinese weapon. >> to jean in yorktown, virginia. >> caller: good morning. interesting comments from everyone and of course as human beings we are entitled to our own opinions. i go independent because i'm an american. even though i voted for biden i stay independent because i'm an american. i am an american. i rea

you have rodney davis, the top republican on the house administration committee.ion of that commission. i mean, that's a significant vote because many of the republicans voted against the creation of the commission. there's also kelly armstrong who's a republican from the state of north dakota who voted to certify the election. we should also note that pelosi can reject any of these picks from mccarthy, and you've heard last night from benny thompson who's the top democrat on the committee. he said these are picks that ultimately pelosi will get to decide on. here's what he said about their behavior in the hearings. >> you know, i've been here 28 years. my committee is one of the more bipartisan committees here in washington. i anticipate the select committee in the same posture, and i respect and want to be respected by the other members of the committee. but you know, we do have a set of rules, and people who determine not to follow the rules will deal with them. but my expectation is that we have a set of rules to follow, and as chair, i expect those rules to b
