mr. mccarthy talked to mr. trump in the lead up to the insurrection, during the insurrection, heated conversations as we revealed in our impeachment trial. i look forward to the hearings. you know what they will do? more than 1,000 interviews or depositions. 99% of people have come forward. >> well -- >> that 1% the closest around mr. trump and these elected officials. we'll get the truth before the american people. >> let me ask ellie very quickly before we run out of time. ellie and david. what are the consequences for the country and for the republic if the congress -- if this committee is not able to get these members to comply? >> a coup that is not punished is just practice for the next one and i think that it's very clear that the republicans if they don't get punished for what they've done, they will just keep doing it. >> i think that is what i think too, david. and i think they are going to do it. i think if you look at the people who are running from secretary of state down to school board, all the w

mr. mccarthy, you see the hillary team knew what was going on inside of the fbi, and knew how to manipulatet, to get what they wanted to go after trump. >> liz, i think you know again it's not a mystery why they picked sussman to go in and make the outreach to baker. it is not just that they know each other. sussman knows the ropes at the justice department of the he was there for years. he was a top cybersecurity lawyer for the government. so yes they understand completely how the justice department worked. the other thing i think you can't, you can't keep these two things in separate buckets. at the same time this is going on, the fbi is going into the fisa court with the steele dossier. elizabeth: right. >> the steele dossier generated by fusion gdp which is also involved in this alfa bank scenario. so this is all one big narrative about you know trump supposedly having this corrupt, collusive relationship with russia. and it was very well-thought out i think. elizabeth: i got to ask you this, if you were on the case would you bring a conspiracy charge against hillary and her team? >> i

mr. mccarthy flat out and categorically denied it today. he denied he would tell trump to resign. he denied he would tell trum to resign. it's a horrifically accurate line tributed to joseph style in. when death the soviet dictator said to remind, the tragedy, 1 million is a statistic. i couldn't help but think of that quote as the united states crossed 1 million covid deaths earlier this week according to data compiled by nbc news. 1 million people dead from the coronavirus. the highest recorded death toll of any country on earth. here in america. the richest, most powerful, most scientifically advanced country in the history of the world. and yet, 1 million dead. and no one really seems to care anymore. it's not getting, and let's be honest, was never going to get the same courage or shock value that 100,000 people dead got from some of our politicians back in mid 2020. we've moved on. covid's over. the pandemic silver. 2021. so what if covid-19 is still killing. right now, on average, 400 americans every day? so would've just over two years, a brand new and deadly virus killed

mr. mccarthy.rward to those public hearings going along way toward solving some of these mysteries. zoe lofgren, i know it is a busy day so thank you for starting us off to thhour. wee grateful for the time. >> thank you. good to see you. >> joining us coverage, frank figliuzzi, also joining us msnbc legal analyst joyce vance, former u.s. attorney now a law professor at the university of alabama, harry litman is here, also the host of the podcast talking feds and tim miller is here, writer at large and author of a new book, why we did it, as travel log why the republican road to hell and donnie deutsche is here. and this is fun. frank figliuzzi, let me start with you on the evidence. congresswoman lofgren seemed to be known how much we know because of the evidence in a the committee has to present and the various court filings, whether to enforce their subpoenas for emails or records or what not. but we know that they know a lot about the five members that were subpoenaed today and it falls into th

mr. mccarthy, what we wanted to talk to him about.had conversations with a former president, both during the riots, before, and after. and we'd like to know about that. what is he hiding? >> will you be getting information from others who either, overheard his side of conversations with the president, or obtained information about his phone calls and other ways? >> some of that has been public, as you know. congressman herrera butler, mentioned sometime ago in a time home mealy. the conversation that he had with mccarthy where he relayed the discussion that he had with the president. but there are other questions that we have for him. some of him and which only he can answer. so this is really not the right thing to do. he also, asserted, all kinds of ridiculous assertions about the committee itself. those who have refused to testify have gone to court, and every court that has considered it, has said that it is ridiculous. and has knocked it down. we have interviewed over 1000 people. all of us all of whom have come in voluntarily. s

mr. mccarthy. for now i want to continue this conversation with mr. michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee, and former lieutenant governor maryland, and former democratic governor of the state of pennsylvania, edward mandel. he also served as the mayor of philly and was the chair of the dnc. i want to start down south with you mister steele, what is your reaction to madison cawthorn conceding? >> well it's kind of interesting. a couple things one, it says to me that republicans can if they want to push back against crazy, and push back against those who are outside of the mainstream if you will. if they want to. madison obviously turned the corner on them. basically the point number two. the reality for him was he thought that he had a much longer runway to go out and behave and say in a way that would get wouldn't get him in trouble. that's true. up until he started telling the very secret inside the party. when you are talking about cocaine parties and orgies, all of a sudden, his right proper christian evangelicals got

mr. mccarthy speaking to the president. for example, mr.ry involved with trying to install jeffrey clark as the a.g. and and mr. jordan talking to the president and mr. biggs in the planning meetings and the like. we had hoped they would come in simply with the invitation, and they have not done so. the committee didn't do this lightly. we thought about it and talked about it for a long time. but we really think we need them to come in. so we have issued subpoenas, and you would think that they would want to shed some light on what happened. and we have a lot of evidence leading to a conclusion. i just don't understand why they would not come in and i hope that this little nudge will further encourage them to come in and do the right thing. they have a legal obligation now to come in and talk to the committee. >> you've been -- the committee has been weighing this move for months. why now? and are you hoping to question them as part of the upcoming public hearings? >> well, perhaps. right now, as we've been waiting for some time to hear fro

mr. mccarthy flooded and categorically denied that, today.t, as promised, i got robin diangelo standing biontech. but we do have breaking news. the first lady of the united states is now back in silica. from her very short visit into ukraine. which she made with the first lady of ukraine. mike mentally as with the first lady, and he actually shot this video of the meeting between them. that is a first lady of ukraine on the right. olena zelenskyy is her name. you don't see how much. and then you are the first lady of the united states, dr. jill biden on the left. they had a meeting just inside the border of ukraine. this was not a publicized plan, obviously, for the safety of the first lady. but there are been other u.s. officials who have gone into ukraine including the secretary of defense and the secretary of state. there been a number of european officials, including some heads of state, who have gone. and it is obviously a very serious concern if that stuff is found out ahead of time. you will remember that when joe biden was in poland,

mr. mccarthy: mr. speaker, i come from the part of the country where people are used to working hard and making things. for some it's producing oil and natural gas. for others it's farming. for me it was owning a small business. what we do may be different, but why we do it is not. we want to provide a better life for our family and our children. that's the american dream. that's what we strive for. that's what we sacrifice for. that's what democrats' radical policies are destroying. today the ex-chairman of the federal reserve said the u.s. economy is heading towards stagflation for the first time since the 1970's. remember, the 1970's democrats had control in the late 70's of the white house, the senate, enand house just like they do now. the c.e.o. of goldman sachs also said that the risk of falling into a recession is very, very high. did you ever think that would happen in just one year of one-party rule? the last time we went through stagflation was in the 1970's. after an oil supply shock. today

mr. mccarthy knew x or jim jordan knew y, and they spell that out at the committee hearing that's why todayose subpoenas is so important, neil. neil: that's wild. chad thank you very much, chad pergram on that. i don't know if news of this committee and these subpoenas going out to prominent players including kevin mccarthy is weighing on stocks or gave an extra kick to selling i don't know if it was terry duffy from the cme saying he had no interest in buying coinbase, the crypto exchange that's in a world of hurt right now. whatever the catalyst, we know this much. stocks are at session lows. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. trading isn't just a hobby. it's your future. so you don't lose sight of the big picture, even when you're focused on what's happening right now. and thinkorswim® is right there with you. to help you become a smarter investor. with an innovative trading platform full of customizable tools. dedicated trade desk pros and a passionate trader community sharing strategies right on the platform. because we take trading as seriously as you do. thinkor

mr. mccarthy and other republicans and are observing really carefully have a react to the situation. >> ionnell. voters are heading to the polls in florida. he is squaring off with congresswoman. what would you say to voters who say, what do we make of rubio's statement when he is a trump alkaline these days? >> this is a balancing act that we see four republican after republican of trying to pull off. they want to get him elected. they are trying to keep the coalition together. mr. rubio knows that there is a lot of republicans who are very strong supporters of president trump. he needs those republicans in order to win in november. as of yet, it does not seem like mr. rubio has suffered very much for his positions of pulling out of florida strong, republicans it seem to be gaining ground on this and overtaking democrats and voter registration. rudy rubio is trying to keep the base together. he is trying to do this in advance of the election. we see this in the senate as republicans get closer to the elections, they are quiet, they appease trump. those senators that recently got elected,

mr. mccarthy: thank you, mr. speaker. crime and the fear of crime impacts the lives of every american. we know its rising pace, carjacking at record highs. smash and grab robberies surging. and at least 12 major cities breaking homicide records in 2021. we know its price in dollar terms. $200 billion annually in aggressive crime tax. we know it's spread costs to families who are afraid to walk the streets at night. we know the tragic cost it inflicts in death and suffering. and we know its root cause, soft on crime policies, far left prosecutors, and radical democrats. from seattle and portland to new york city and washington, d.c. democrats have failed the first duty of government, they have failed to keep citizens safe. now, some house democrats want to erase their own soft on crime record. but the american people will not be fooled. this congress, 219 house democrats voted for a bill that would cost local police departments hundreds of millions of dollars. the american people can't afford democrats' radical agenda. fewer police officers on the street, fewer criminals behind bars, mo

mr. mccarthy: i thank you, mr. speaker. it's an open secret that americans are facing serious challenges today. many of these challenges are washington inflicted, caused by democrats' incompetence and radicalism. absolute chaos on the southern border. unsafe streets. record high gas prices and rising inflation. a broken supply chain. an ongoing labor shortage. a failing education system. and, of course, a baby formula shortage they knew about for more than a year. will this congress be remembered as a congress that addressed these issues? probably not. instead, this congress will go down in history as the out-of-touch congress. this week as families scramble to find baby formula, speaker pelosi's house decided to add special new perks are to washington lawmakers and staff. one of those perks was a v.i.p. membership to p peloton gyms, paid for by hardworking taxpayers. what's next, free jeannie ice cream. you may be asking what's peloton? it's a bike that costs about $2,000. not only that, each month you pay a monthly subscr

including that top house republican, kevin mccarthy the committee composed of virtually all democrats believes these five republicans have information about mrtrump's efforts to subvert the election results, the planning of events around january 6th or efforts to somehow restore the former president to power. several of those members toda describe the committee's work as illegitimate or as a witch hunt and suggested would fight efforts to force them to testify that could drag this process well into the summer it's very rare for a committee to subpoena members of congress. republicans are suggesting they might do the same to democrats next year. >> garrett haake, thank you. >>> overseas, the leaders of finland declared today they want to join nato without delay, drawing an immediate reaction from russia as it battles for control of eastern ukraine. kelly cobiella is there. >> reporter: tonight, as russia intensifies its assault on eastern ukraine, the kremlin now vowing retaliatory steps after finland's announcement it will seek to join nato with sweden expected to follow. russia says it considers the move a threat finland shares more than 80

mr. ronny jackson is one of them. >> and kevin mccarthy, multiple. >> kevin mccarthy, i think, three or fourublican members to drop? >> well, stay tuned. we will have more information in the near future. >> all right. congresswoman zoe lofgren, thank you for starting us off and sharing what you can. always grateful for your time. >>> joining our coverage, nick confessore, "new york times" political investigative reporter, matt dowd is here, political strategist, and founder of country over party. back with us onset, i lied about the one hour, we roped him in for another, former top state department official rick stengel is still here. lucky for us, all three are msnbc contributors. nick, i start with you. betsy woodruff swan put it perfectly, the late breakthroughs the committee has had should not go unremarked upon, and that would include the president's children, ivanka trump, donald trump jr., and, i guess, kim guilfoyle is a future daughter-in-law, jared kushner is his son-in-law. they have all testified before the committee. as you heard from congresswoman lofgren, they answered the que

mr. earley was tropic chicago police decided not to chase the stolen mw that this alleged attacker is. joining me now is garrett mccarthyinois. i want to be clear, i'm not blaming the officers here. it seems these chase rules about when you can chase or when you should chase involved like a big balancing test. tell us why this is problematic and it seems to be leading industries to an attempted murder. >> laura, you can boil those 13 pages down to one sentence. it is simple. book. the danger created by the pursuit has to outweigh the danger of that individual getting away. in this case, we seek the circumstance where obviously, this guy got away. a couple of people have paid for it dearly including obviously this young man who got shot. but i got to tell you something, the people creating these policies are not people who should be doing it and the same time, coming up with wrongheaded policies, whether it be based oe to do a report every time you run holster and point your weapon which in my book is a direct result that resulted in -- or the police reform act signed by the governor. those pale in comparison to what has

mr. biden's lighthearted speech. >> i'm not really here to roast the gop. that's not my style. besides, there's nothing i can say about the gop that kevin mccarthyalready put on tape. today's republicans say, tear down mickey mouse's house! and pretty soon they'll be storming cinderella's castle, you can be sure of it. republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named brandon. he's having a really good year. and i'm kind of happy for him. >> now the dinner, it's not just a party, it honors journalists for their work, raises money for scholarships, important ones, and pays tribute to the first amendment which protects freedom of speech and the media. >>> the music world is mourning one of its most beautiful voices. country music legend naomi judd passed away saturday at the age of 76. she and daughter winona rose to fame in the 1980s as the judds and left their mark, quite a mark, on country music. polo sandoval takes a look. >> reporter: naomi judd dead at 76. it was one of her daughters that made made that announcement on social media saturday writing, today we sisters experienced a tragedy. we lost our beautiful mother to the disease of m
