they added adam kinsinger to the committee. he joins liz cheney. can we expect more republicans to be added to that panel? what can we expect when that hearing gets underway with that first public session? >> it is possible in theory that new republicans are added to the committee. it is unlikely in practice for the simple reason that only two house republicans voted for the creation of the january 6th committee to begin with. and their vote already on it now. liz cheney first and now adam kinsinger. they have gone a little more quiet on this issue. they voted against the creation of the select committee to investigate the january 6th attack. and nobody else was really raised their hand to try to be, you know, to take one of the spots on the committee. adam shift, one of the craft on the committee was asked this question by nbc's hallie jackson earlier. let's play what he said. >> i think we can conduct a very serious sober investigation just for the people, the speaker has already named. but i'm certainly open to the addition of others that would

adam kinsinger might be added by pelosi here. we'll see where this ultimately goes.ill go into 2022. manu raju, capitol hill. >>> for more of what we can expect on the first hearing, let's bring in erroll lewis. erroll, the hearing begins with what could be some emotional testimony from these police officers. there are a lot of questions about the security on that day, january 6th. what are you going to be watching for on tuesday? >> i'm going to be watching, caitlyn, for what the testimony says how it really felt to be on the other side of the battering rams, the attacks, people marching with nooses, picking up shields, other material, using bear spray and going after public servants who were there to protect the capitol and protect democracy. that's the heart of the testimony. it's going to be gripping, emotional and it has to get on the record. >> house speaker nancy pelosi may add another congressman, adam kinsinger. what message do you think she went with earlier in the week. >> nancy pelosi is doing what the republican leadership should be doing. there are diff

>> adam kinsinger has been floated as a o potential add to the community.e will be established, what the make up will be, but the first one when they will hear from the police officers tasked with defending this capitol hill against an attack by supporters seeking to block the vick toir from being certified. >> so denver riggleman has been sought out, congressman kinzinger has spoken out not just against donald trump but has choice words for kevin mccarthy. so the pool of republican lawmakers that would be part of the committee are pretty small. what do you advice the speaker to do here? is it helpful to have more republicans or is it another target for people to say yeah, thee picked just a few people that agree with her. >> i think it would be good to add both, quite frankly. people need to hear throughout our political discourse more and more republicans that disagree with trump and disagree with kevin mccarthy on the events that happened on january 6th. and i think that will be important adding to those voices is important, and i think it is also crucia

if i'm nancy pelosi, i'm calling adam kinsinger and other members who would take a very serious approach select committee. the country is so sadly divided ac and it's reflected in the political leadership. she should move forward with liz and if she can get some of these other republicans who will take this seriously, put them on and move forward. i don't think she should have pulled and i don't think kevin should have pulled either. >> david, as alison pointed out, the republicans have already been criticiziing the committee. we know this was something they were going to do. speaker pelosi ease move today made that case far easier to make to voters. >> yeah, i think what voters will see here is this is sort of the broken politics of washington. when the republicans prevented, in the senate, an independent, nonpartisan commission that would have been authorized by congress but would have been doing its work sort of above and beyond the political halls of congress, from that moment on, this thing was going to become very political. obviously, nancy pelosi appointing liz was trying to keep

adam kinsinger is being considered for this spot. spoken to would support this. republican liz cheney said he would be a great addition. the democrats, including bennie thompson, the chairman of the select committee, said he has been discussed with the speaker and said that this would be a positive addition. the former congressman riggleman is being looked out as an outside adviser, a republican to help the investigation going forward. this is someone who liz cheney has recommended here. so this is occurring as this committee is staffing up. they have announced key staff hires and planning to move quickly on this investigation once they get through the first hearing next week and map out the investigation for the weeks ahead. >> and it's important to emphasize, this hearing is happening next week. so when liz cheney agreed to be part of the committee, it appeared she would be punished by her party. but what are you hearing now how that will play out in the gop? >> reporter: in talking to a wide range of republicans today, we heard th

. >> pelosi responded by appointing two gop lawmakers, liz cheney and adam kinsinger. >> it's not something i was expecting but there are moments you have to do the right thing and this is it. >> reporter: committee members plan to follow the evidence wherever it leads them and they may try to get testimony from former president trump. the investigation is expected to take several months to complete. anne-marie. >> laura podesta in new york. thank you so much, laura. >>> ahead on "cbs this morning," congresswoman liz cheney joins us and discusses the riots and what this means for her future. >> police are searching for the two steps. the 80-year-old was attacked yesterday in oakland's jack london square. a post on boxer's twitter page said one assail land pushed her in the back and boxer went to a nearby verizon store and called police for help. she said the suspects appeared to be younger than 18. she said one was the driver and the other attacked her. >> well, he pushed me very hard. it's hard to describe what happened because it was so fast but when i started to move away from him, he ca

so whether it's adam kinsinger or others that are willing to be constructive. to weaponize it for political purposes. i think the speaker is right to in effect disqualify them. >> liz cheney obviously and congressman kinsinger are very vocal in criticism of the former president. thaur both republicans. i would have said in good standing. clearly with this current republican party they are not in good standing. do you think compromising the committee exclusively with democrats and the few republicans who broke with the former president, i mean zshgs that undermine its effectiveness? certainly among the republicans out in the country? >> i think it's effectiveness will depend on its integrity and its seeking the truth as vigorously as possible. and then speaking the truth. i'm encouraged by the selection of the staff director david buckley, a trained experienced law enforcement professional, former inspector general for the cia. i think it's work product is the basis for judging it. and i continue to be haunted by what i saw in and heard on january ofth. it wasn'

>> perhaps after i speak to adam kinsinger.tha: she's pretty tight lipped about that what's your understanding of who they're going to add to the committee and are you planning to do your own investigation on the republican side? >> well, again, it's clear that pelosi only wants members on this committee that will stick to her talking point, stick to her narrative. that's why she picked the group that she picked. anyone that she asked to be on this committee from this point moving forward will be stuck to her narrative, to her point of view. there won't be another side. and that's in the history of the congress, something like this has never happened before. in the history of our country you've never had the speaker of the house deny the representatives that the minority party submitted for a select committee. it's never happened before. it's a break in precedent. as everyone in america knows, you have you a minority and majority view. that's the point of the committee structure in the congress. why does nancy pelosi not want t

illinois representative, adam kinsinger is joining the panel. he says he is a republican dedicated to conservati january 6th riots and the role former president, donald trump might have played is set to hold its first hearing on tuesday. >>> two crashes in the south bay overnight. the first one just after media saw one car driving in the wrong direction onto 80 when it collided with a truck. two victims were pulled from their cars and there is no word of their condition. the second around 4:00 this morning. witnesses say one car was involved in a rollover accident on southbound 680. two people were infected from the vehicle. no word on the extent of their injuries. >>> the man has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping in southern california. police in west hollywood said an unconscious woman was carried into a white van on friday morning. the deputies say this man put the victim inside his 1997 dodge ram van near robertson and melrose. authorities say she was intoxicated and didn't know whose vehicle she was in. as the van started to p

>> adam kinsinger has made very clear he would consider it.oday whether he'd be willing to serve, he absolutely refused to comment, which indicates perhaps there's something moving behind the scenes. what we are hearing is that kinsinger could be added. pelosi is considering that. benny thompson, the chairman of the committee, told me that has been discussion. they just had a meeting of the eight members selected by nancy pelosi, including liz cheney, to talk about their way forward. they also talked about next week's hearing, the first time the capitol police will testify about their experiences that day. after this next hearing, expect that work to happen behind the scenes, the intensity to pick up. we'll see if they add another republican. it seems like a likely possibility that kinsinger could be added by the end of the week. transit funding is one piece of this proposal. the issue about how to pay for the transit systems has been a sticking point for days. just speaking to the top republican negotiator moments ago, he made clear that his

should she appoint someone like adam kinsinger, but they will continue their rallying cry, right? >> leader mccarthy threatened that, but he has accepted the position. i tell my 6-year-old and my 8-year-old that we have to follow through on threats. so in the conference, he doesn't seem to have many to lose. >> it is very strong on that workout. where we're left right now. it is a republican on the select committee, and she minced no words. let's listen. >> at every opportunity the minority leader prevents the american people from understanding what happens to block this investigation. i think that any person third in line must demonstrate the rule of law. >> what do you make of that and how important does she remain now to the committee? >> yeah, representative cheney's role was prominent before it happens and now it has elevated so much. she has the weight of the republican party that she believes is a true republican party. so it was before the mccarthy de debacle. so her role gained in borns. >> i think we're getting a window into how the former president and our current presi

congressman liz cheney and adam kinsinger, two strong trump critics.ning this panel, probably not houthi. two conservative fire brands, marjorie taylor green and matt gaetz. pelosi has final say over who joins the panel and it's unclear whether she will want these two trump allies to serve on this panel. bottom line is it's unclear how mccarthy is going to handle this. he's expressing no hints. it's unclear if he will appoint any republicans to this panel at all. boris, christi? >> a lot to look out for. daniella diaz, thank you very much. joining us to discuss the january 6th committee and more, erroll lewis. always a pleasure to see you bright and early on saturday morning. thanks for joining us. the ball's now in kevin mccarthy's court. he has to appoint republicans for the select committee. he may not. which republicans do you think he'll try to appoint? >> reporter: good morning. the ball is in his k0court. i think he's going to try to take the ball and fling it over the fence. that's alongside the big lie of donald trump having won an election he

i want you to listen to what adam kinsinger said. >> the biggest enemy to the maga world is mike penceke pence was one of the most faithful people to donald trump. but if you turn an ounce against donald trump, your out of the tribe. >> talk about this purging of moderate republicans from the ranks of the modern republican party. what does that mean for the future of the party? >> yeah. what i think about first when i think about the republicans trying to purge the moderates, is that that's not their strong suit. when it purges all of the moderate members, that creates more independents and democrat voters. they can defeat the extremists or make sure the other party wins. it's easy. the republican party can't grow or evolve without being more inclusive, including mike pence. we're never going to get back to being a big tent party. pro anti-choice. now, it's just pro anti-trump, period. my question, kind of around all of this, is why are they so focused on fighting within the party right now. we're facing so many things. climate change, the pandemic, and we're arguing about who is more

house speaker nancy pelosi named illinois representative adam kinsinger to join the panel.nger says he's a dedicated republican, and he always will answer to duty when duty calls him to defend the constitution. last week pelosi rejected two of the five republicans tapped for the panel by house minority leader kevin mccarthy. mccarthy tweeted this today, the speaker has structured the committee to satisfy her political objectives, which destroys its credibility. the u.s. capital and all who protect it suffered a massive leadership failure. republicans will focus on ensuring that never happens again. the committee is investigating the january 6th riot and the role former president trump might have played. it is set to hold its first hearing on tuesday. >>> one of san francisco's most iconic events is making a comeback. it's a down version of the folsom street fair, and it returned today. it looks a little different than years past, instead of the usual events, this year was called folsom street market, and was more vendor focused. there was also a new tent, getting out the co

. >> oh, no, adam kinsinger, they voted with trump 90% of the time. they're putting country first.t she would accept something from speaker pelosi. it would seem to me since i didn't hear from her, maybe she's closer to her than us. i don't know. >> do you -- is this -- this is not tea. here are the people on this committee along with yourself, representative cheney, adam schiff who prosecuted one of the cases against donald trump impeachment. peat akalar, jamie ras kin, brilliant, who's involved in the impeachment and elaine luria of virginia. do you see this as teams or do you see this as an investigation meant to be sober and serious. >> this is an investigation that is sober and serious and apolitical into what happened. this is americans who love this country, who are patriotic, who are dedicated to upholding the constitution who want to get the facts about what happened on january 6th. the circumstances that led up to that so that we can provide a comprehensive report and then recommendations on how we keep our country safe and that is the utmost importance. i have an obligat

you have people like liz cheney and adam kinsinger saying they want to be an alternate path for peoplelection was stolen. on the other side you have the majority of the party falling in line with former president donald trump. that is the balancing act. he took the show on the road. he said he will be vocal about the midterms. he is ramping up his public appearances. and in the public appearances we're seeing conspiracy theories and lies about 2020 election. there is real consequences for that as we saw on january 26th. >> the former president headlines the cpac gathering, it should read that the former president's lies and conspiracies take center stage at cpac because is that s what we have seen happen. there was a significant moment herereflective. that is what is happening in the link to the pandemic. dr. anthony fauci calling that horrifying. that is a sentiment that we have to acknowledge. and we don't do a lot of gazing things here, but that comes from what you see if you watch prime time fox news and a number of anchors that are smearing these shots basically. >> that's exactly

. >>> and here is congressman adam k kinsinger. >> i did not think today would be as emotional as it has been. i have talked to a number of you and gotten to know you. i think it's important to tell you right now though, you guys may like individually feel a little broken. you guys all talked about the affects you have to deal with, and you know, you talk about the impact of that day. but you guys won. you guys held. you know, democracies are not defined by our bad days. we are defined by how we come back from bad days. how we take accountability for that. and for all of the over heated rhetoric surrounding this committee, our mission is very simple. it's to find the truth. and it's to ensure accountability. like most americans i'm frustrated that six months after a deadly insurrection breeched the united states capitol for several hours on live television we still don't know exactly what happened, why? because many in my party have treated this as just another partisan fight. it's toxic, and it's a disservice to the officers in their families, to the staff and the employees on the c

that is even what congressman liz cheney and adam kinsinger have been saying in the days running up to this hearing. cheney will deliver an opening statement after the chairman of the committee bennie thompson delivers his remarks. that's when the committee will dig down and start to lay out the plan for a full deep dive investigation and promising to look into all orders of exactly what happened here. as far as why and what happened and donald trump's role in supporting the organizers in this and any republican efforts to talk to donald trump, republican lawmakers who are in contact with the white house and the runup to january 6th. even potentially kevin mccarthy the house republican leader himself with conversations with donald trump on january 6th. all that will be down the line. but today will begin that effort to try to detail exactly what happened, tell the public what happens here and expect a dra mat uk day. things we have not seen yet. jake? >> thank you so much. as we await the start of the first official hearing of the january 6th select committee, the five remembers who we

how afraid are adam schiff and kinsinger and their friends in congress of the queue and on shaman comingk? they are afraid enough they have allocated themselves more police protection in most american cities get at a time when most american cities are becoming much more dangerous and thousands of americans are dying and it's not an exaggeration, we pulled the numbers. the u.s. capitol police, their personal bodyguards have a budget of more than $160 million a year and that number is rising. how much money is that? for perspective, the police budget for the entire famously dangerous city of detroit as well over $380 million -- oh. the u.s. capitol, 535 elected representatives almost at $100 million more per year in law enforcement money than the entire city of detroit. in atlantic, where shoppers are routinely shot at the mall, the police budget is just over $200 million a year. less than half of what those 535 members allocated themselves. to be fair, no one in detroit has to deal with the queue and on shaman, it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison. how do you justify a budget li

kinsinger any less of being constitutional conservatives than yourself? are you doing the people on your side of the aisle labeling them as pelosi republicans? guest: something i have been very adamantbout is we do not do republican on republican violence. anytime we want to tear one another down over difference of opinion, that's a very dangerous thing to do. i have chosen not to speak out against my colleagues. while i may not always agree with them, that is for a family discussion to happen behind closed doors. representative kinsinger and representative cheney know exactly where i stand. i believe the republican party has a big enough tent to accommodate opinions of all sizes. that's what makes republicans great. we have a variety of opinions. we respect individuals to have that opinion and also disagree with it. i think it is truly a matter for representative kinsinger and cheney to make that determination if they are constitutional conservatives. just because you call yourself conservative doesn't mean that your actions reflect that. i grew up in a way that your actions upon them to show where they truly stand. host: in florida it is responding to your criticism of your -- of
