future looked grim for adam kinzinger.m kinzinger is on the sunday shows every week and doing his winston churchill limitation. you can see the built-in incentive for mediocre and intellectually limited numbers of congress to play the war hawk. but you have to ask yourself, why all of a sudden is everybody talking about chemical and biological weapons? just a couple weeks ago joe biden, the president of united states, promised to respond "in-kind" to potential use of chemical weapons by russia. in other words, the united states would use its chemical weapons against the russians if they used there is against ukraine, and then, because you are not supposed to admit that you have chemical weapons, the national security advisor for joe biden, whose memory still works, walked back and said the president misspoke just like he did when he told us this was a regime change war. we would never use chemical weapons. but for some reason, a lot of people in washington in both parties are still talking a lot about the u.s. using chemic

joining us now is also a republican congressman from illinois, adam kinzinger. joining us. madison cawthorn lost, who do you feel about that? >> it is good for the country. it is good for the party. it is good for the 11th district of north carolina. i mean, you know, look, d.c. has become kind of a growing ground for people that are just more interested in fame than governing, that are more interested in becoming famous than actually doing really serious work in a time when, you know, we have a lot of challenges here at home, and a lot of challenges overseas. so it was a good thing he lost. my organization, country first, country 1 st.com, this is the key, john, people don't even vote in primaries, primaries are unfortunately, like a vast majority of members of congress are actually determined. i think we made an impact. it is good to see him lose. >> i want to ask you about pennsylvania. there is something of a different story there. doug mastriano has won the republican nomination for governor there. mastriano to call him an election denier is an understateme

. >>> adam kinzinger is in illinois. thank you for taking time for us. >> you bet. >> in effect does the u.s. now have a new taiwan policy which is to say it will defend taiwan militarily if china were to invade? is that the reality? >> yeah, i don't know if it's a new policy. here's the interesting thing when you get into this kind of international diplomacy is kind of the unspoken thing is the intention is to defend taiwan. that's one thing that's kept taiwan from having to face china directly. china sets up mock invasions of taiwan, there is a fight over the strait, it's just a constant back and forth. the president said what everybody really is thinking which is, of course, the united states would intend to defend taiwan militarily, whether that's direct action or even just sending aid, but it's the speed, the breakneck speed at which his aides walk back what he said. it's similar to when he was saying about vladamir putin kind of off the cuff, this guy can't remain in power. if i was president and people did that to

people like adam kinzinger and liz cheyney. where are these righteous republicans now?we might have the answer. breitbart is reporting that liz cheyney's reelection campaign is working with a group called people first. their web site indicates it's affiliated with far left democrat organizations such as president biden's campaign arm, planned parenthood and black lives matter. harriet haag man is running to unseat liz cheyney in wyoming and she joins us now. good to see you the open primary coming up in august. but liz cheyney really is, she's billed as the principled republican, only a handful of them left obviously. and she's payings ated about january 6th, investing that. are you kind of surprised she hasn't been more vocal about left-wing protests that seem to be getting out of hand against supreme court justices? >> well, laura it's wonderful to see you again to be back on your program, thank you. i have been stunned at her silence. when you think about what is actually happened in the last week. i'm a constitutional attorney. i've been practicing law for over 33 y

what do you think of this as what adam kinzinger is pointing to as a deterrent first and for most. >> it certainly is a deterrent. to say we will not be deterred as kinzinger's resolution would is a step forward in our security and ukraine's security. putin does not want a nuclear confrontation with us. >> it is an authorization for use of military force. presidents have acted many times without this authorization. what do you think it means? >> again, i think it's a good start and it can be used as a deterrent certainly, as an option. but overall the u.s. has got to stop being intimidated by russia and putin. president biden has said that once p he wants no u.s. troops on the ground. however, i think it's time to at least set up something like a humanitarian assistance zone in western you're craukraine, where no troops on the ground right now. it will protect civilians. >> this is something you and i have discussed throughout this war, the hesitation for allies to do this suggests what to you? >> it suggests we're being intimidated to an extent. this takes a little more spine. we've

republican congressman adam kinzinger said if they use nuclear or chemical weapons, that should be theipping points for u.s. armed forces. this morning, we want to know what redline you would set. give us a call.

adam kinzinger who is right there with her. don't -- i don't share political views with them, but i have to give them their due and there need to be more people like them and then we have to have the republican leadership simply affirm that which they said and we're closer in time to january the 6th. or not to say january 12th or whenever it was and they've certainly seemed to have lost their nerve between them and now and they need to take a lesson from liz cheney and adam kinzinger. >> i wonder if you can just opine on what the public -- i don't think the public is exhausted from watching this. i think they're exhausted by the sensation or the feeling or the worry that everything -- every effort to hold trump accountable fails. whether it's mueller, whether it's impeachment one, whether it's impeachment two, whether it's this committee that is said to be grappling with whether or not to make a criminal referral. is that irrelevant? do you believe that the merrick garland will simply stare at the evidence and not pay attention

. >> and general, congressman adam kinzinger is pushing a resolution to authorize president biden to use u.s. military force if russia uses chemical or nuclear weapons in ukraine. kinzinger believes this would be a deterrent to vladimir putin from even taking that action. is he right? >> well, i think mr. putin has to understand that the united states has a range of activities and actions that it could take if he uses nuclear weapons. i don't know about this congressional resolution. i've looked at it, and i think it's -- if it's strongly supported by the congress, that's a good thing. but whether there's a resolution or not, the united states has made very clear that it stands with ukraine. that it's going to make sure that russia doesn't get a strategic success in ukraine. and that it will do whatever is necessary. so i think the resolution is sort of a way of a group of people in congress expressing an intent that they hope will reinforce the administration. but i think the administration has come a long way in its policy since the 24th of february. >> kim, do you think that would

that's furthering her agenda and that of nancy pelosi, joe biden and adam kinzinger, adam schiff, thosefolks. >> but it doesn't have anything to do with what wyoming wants her to do. well, harriet, they're: they're pummeling you with ads but enough to play it. butt you know, anyone who has their doubts about you should just know you're being attackedy by all the right people likeou the lincoln project and all these left wing groups that liz cheney is now getting help a frl this people first organizations are going to be watching this race very carefully. bo this race very carefully. bo voting for you. v they've got toot get outin and vote. harrietg f so, thank you . great to see you. now our wit's end segment is next . remember, there's a clue if you sell this item on the new york city subway, you can actuallys get arrested. hurry up. tweet me your guesses at ingraham angle. >> we'll see if we get it right. stator college wasn't built for he didn't care if i had to work a double shift or if my kid had a fever. deadline's a deadline. i want to set the deadline. i'm going to take a test w

completely undone and whose total destruction as a man really does deserve your pity, and that is adam kinzingerat he said he voted for it. >> people like marjorie taylor greene, you know, people like matt gaetz, mo brooks, the folks you think about, they are almost leading -- i would argue that they are leading the republican caucus, and so kevin mccarthy, elise stefanik, instead of leaving, as their title, leadership, which suggest they do, they are basically tolerating this all in the name of hopefully i become speaker someday. you can't fund raise, you can't live on fear because eventually you are going to create fearful people and fearful people can do really bad things that i think that is what we saw in buffalo. >> tucker: so they are continuing to tell you, in the face of all available evidence, that the mass murder you saw over the weekend in buffalo was inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric when in fact that mass murder was committed by someone with diagnosed mental illness that the adults around him apparently ignored. okay, so a shooting by a crazy person that has been hijacked by

adam kinzinger is one of them so let's listen to what he's saying about gun control.hat up. >> when you look at particularly this shooting, the shooting before it, there's this epidemic of young men between the age of 18 and 21 that are doing these kind of things. i think one of the easiest things we can do to begin to do something is to say you've got to be 21 to buy a rifle in this country. >> ron, let's look at that specifically, that suggestion from kinzinger, preventing 18 to 21-year-old men from purchasing rifles in this country, they tend to be the ones who do these shootings. it's not much to make a change like that, but it is a start. could that get possible bipartisan support as a first step? or is there just too much division for even that small step to be taken? >> well, first of all as you say it's a pretty small step against the magnitude of what we've been dealing with for many years now in the u.s. and i'm skeptical even that could get much traction in the republican party because of the success of the nra after portraying any step as the first on a sl

adam kinzinger, outgoing republican congressman had another suggestion potentially. he's open, i want your reaction to kinzinger here. >> my side is not coming forward with reasonable ways to defend an amendment that we think is very important. i'm looking at this going fine, if people are going to put forward solutions certifying maybe who can buy an assault weapon, i'm certainly open to that. >> tom, what do you think? an additional license, an additional certification, would that be enough? >> assault weapons are just an unusually dangerous weapon. so, yeah, something like that would certainly help. you know, one thing that i want to stress, though, is, you know, all the things that we're talking about have to do with guns, and what we have learned in our case is more than just the guns. in your lead up, you mentioned a couple of other things, things that we advocate for in areas of mental health and school security. you know, it's amazing how many schools don't know what to do, simple things like lock doors, single point of entry, safe corners, what to do in an a

and yet other than adam kinzinger no one in his party had anything to say about this. i'm sure they're waiting for the right moment. elon musk bought twitter today, did you hear that? $44 billion. said he wants to transform twitter as a platform for free speech around the globe. yeah, that's the problem with twitter. no one can say what they think. they're holding back. [ laughter ] even though elon likely will likely let trump back on, trump says he won't get back on, which is definitely a lie. he'll be right back. he's got a lot of money riding on this truth social disaster he got a lot of dollars for and then abandoned. he hasn't posted there since the day it launched 2 1/2 months ago. he posted one time, that was it, but he did give a truth social kind of a plug at a rally he had in ohio this weekend. >> they conspired to ban me from every social media platform because of this digital tyranny we had to give the american people their voice back by building something called troth -- truthsential. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: trothsential is a character on the mandalorian i

that's not going to happen because the two republicans on this committee, liz chain and adam kinzinger believe in the core mission of this meeting so it will be a lot harder for anybody who goes before this committee to try to hijack, it enough theier it, try to run out the clock and chance to redirect it with nonsensical questions not doing with the topic. they won't be able to do that because every single person believes in the work of the house select committee and that's where kevin mccarthy screwed up. donald trump is going to lose his mind when he seize no one is out there defending him. >> the january select commity had a couple of topics to talk to rudy giuliani about. wanted to talk about his promotion of claims that the 2020 election was stolen, attempt to disrupt, delay certification and contract with former president trump on or around january 6th. here's my question. can you ask rudy giuliani these things, but we kind of already know what his answers are going to be, and so at this point i -- i understand the need and the desire to public information as well, but the peopl

even in the house was out this week but you had adam kinzinger indicate that maybe 18 is a little too young to have that sense you need to be 21 to buy a handgun. republicans keep talking about red flag laws and background checks. but they don't really have a good enough answer as to why an 18-year-old should be able to go into a gun store and purchase a weapon like this. so senator chris murphy said this morning that they actually are having encouraging conversations with republicans on this matter. so that's definitely an angle to what, she has been. >> encouraging, i just want to remind folks of course the president still here in uvalde texas. he arrived around 11 am. came behind me paying his respects them oil here. we're looking at the motorcade as well, the presidents currently in meth, i believe, at sacred heart in uvalde, texas. he's been there for but the last hour or so. after this, it's really we're gonna be seeing him coming out of the church there. heading towards the civic center in which he will then read the families of the victims providing any sort of solace, any sor

i'm joined now by republican congressman adam kinzinger of illinois.s that something you think could actually happen in america, raising the age to 21? >> you know, i hope so. i think there's a lot of opeople that don't understand the gun laws from the perspective of this. in america, you have to be 21 to buy a hand gun and 18 in most states. there's basically no federal minimum of 21 for long rifles. so, you can -- when the law was made, you can understand, long rifles weren't ar-15s at the time because they kept the age at 18. you have to be 21 -- we just federally raised the age to 21 to buy cigarettes, by the way. when you tack a look at this shooting, the shooting before it, there's an epidemic of young men between the ages of 18 and 21 that are doing these kinds of things. i think one of the easiest things we can do to begin to do something is to say you've got to be 21 to buy a rifle in this country. you've got to be 21 to buy cigarettes. we need universal background checks. we need red flag laws with teeth. these are things that we can do to ha

. >> that was republican congressman adam kinzinger, calling out his fellow republicans for feeding into theory, which the buffalo massacre cited as motivation for killing ten people. white replacement theory is the races antisemitic conspiracy theory that a cabal of rich jewish people are secretly filling the country with black and brown people, in order to replace white populations. it is disgusting and dangerous. republicans are acting with outrage that they are feeding into such nonsense, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. congressman elise stefanek, who on facebook is promoting white replacement theory, released a statement on monday blasting the media for associating her with the killings, and moments later, doubled down on white replacement theory in a tweet. perhaps the world's most influential proponent of right replacement theory, hungary's autocratic leader, viktor orban, just days after the buffalo shooting, he said in that speech, quote, part of the decade of war fighting us will be suicidal policies in the western world. one such aside attempt is the great europ

we should recognize that, and recognize that there is no doubt heard of adam kinzinger for example, who said on the 16 committee. how about congressman tom rice who voted to impeach trump after the insurrection, and unlike kinzinger is running for reelection, here he is speaking in a gop primary or play on thursday in his home state of south carolina. and when he set out lie to his republican audience is well worth listening to. >> so, i was there on january six. -- i was there. i saw the bomb squad defusing bombs. i smell the tear gas. i was on the house floor when the glass was breaking while they were trying to break down the doors. when we evacuated i passed capitol police officers who were beating and broken, being pulled from the lines. when we got to the spot where we were a evacuated, fox news was on tv. i was getting calls from back here from friends, the news, as i was talking to a news media back here i kept saying, where is the president? where is the president? where is the president? but he never came on. i knew he was gonna come on and say listen, the violence has to stop

we had sound from adam kinzinger talking about the fact that we need to start being honest about thatead in the past on this. who do you think actually has the capacity to stand up to offer a profile of courage and actually get something done? whether that is red flag laws, raising the minimum age to buy a gun, there are things that can be done to our very popular with the american people, that just need republicans in the senate to move on. >> not a single elected official in today's republican party, alicia. i say that not as a broad swipe but because there is an important nuance here. when we saw republicans act i, referred to the fact that political pressure being greater than the pressure of the lobby, once that fulcrum was crossed, the republican actions were still done in full coordination with the gun lobby. the gun lobby gave republicans permission for incremental change. coming out in vegas, recalled that the only incremental change that made it to the table was this ban on bump stocks. kevin mccarthy and republicans in congress said that legislation is not need to do the. t

one-on-one with senator chris murphy from connecticut about what the senate can do on gun reform ande adam kinzinger on whether his party can support more restrictions. eva? >>> the victim of the buffalo supermarket mass shooting has been laid to rest. 86-year-old ruth whitfield was the oldest of the ten black people who lost their lives in buffalo. vice president kamala harris and the second gentleman attending that service. the vice president in an impromptu speech calling for an assault weapons ban, saying the 200 mass shootings this year alone are an epidemic of hate. >> startling number. >>> now to that holiday weekend boating tragedy. two killed and three missing and presumed dead when two motorboats slammed into each other along the georgia coast. abc's elwyn lopez is in atlanta as the intense search for the missing picks up again. elwyn, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, janai, good morning. that urgent search now going into a second day, teams scouring the waters, racing to find those three passengers who are still missing. >> we're going to need an additional ambulance, probably a thi

i admire liz cheney and adam kinzinger for still trying to fight the fight within the party, but what's alarms me is that the base of the party has now been so completely radicalized, and again, folks will accuse us of hyperbole for saying, that but if you go look at the data, the majority or close to the majority republicans now believe the stolen election lie. they believe the qanon and they believe the racist great replacement theory. this is the core of the republican party. it will take a generation to excise this from the party. my worry is that the longer the gop base remains radicalized, the more violence we are going to see, the more uncivil rhetoric, and the more deterioration to our democratic foundations. that really is the worry. i don't think james clyburn is wrong and saying if that happens, it is a slow slide for autocracy. >> there is no doubt, miles, that donald trump accelerated a lot of these turns that the republican party has taken. i want to just hone in on something euro, which is in your piece, you write the party of lincoln once stood on, granted solid ground,

republican congressman adam kinzinger passed a resolution that if passed would authorize president biden to use military force against russia. >> it doesn't compel the president to do it. it just says, if it is used, he has that leverage. it gives him a better flexibility, but also it is a deterrent to vladimir putin. prior to world war ii, there were moments nobody ever wanted to get involved and eventually came to realize they had to. i hope we don't get to that point here. but we should be ready if we do. >> we're joined by mark hertling, former commanding general of europe and 7th army. when you look at the collective statements coming out of washington, you have a congressman suggesting allowing the president the authority should it come to that. you have lloyd austin and others talking about weakening russia as the goal of this operation, other than just defending ukraine. you see how putin and state media are reacting to that. they are now characterizing this as a war against the west, not just ukraine. does that make you worried that both sides are talking up an escalation, an ex

. >>> republican congressman adam kinzinger -- should russia decide to use weapons of mass destruction. >> does it compel the president to do it? it just says if it is used, he has that leverage. it gives him, you know, a better flexibility but also it is a deterrent to vladimir putin. prior to world war ii, there were moments nobody ever wanted to get involved and eventually came to realize they had to. i hope we don't get to that point here, but we should be ready if we do. >> cnn's natasha ber tran joining us now. it may be a deterrent. it's also a line being drawn if that goes through. >> it is a red line. we saw this play out under president obama with the red line he drew in syria with the use of chemical weapons. this is not a position a president wants to be in. the white house has been gaming out scenarios they would enact should russia use weapons of mass destruction in ukraine, including chemical weapons. they have said -- president biden has said the response would be proportionally. they would respond in kind to the kind of weapon that russia uses in ukraine, if that does

you also had interesting comments from representative adam kinzinger a republican who is not running for reelection who says he thinks his mind has been changed on the issue of assault weapons and he could potentially see banning something like an ar-15. now, that is a significant statement coming from a republican. again, important to remember he is not on the ballot come the midterms in november. >> and i just think, look, they're starting to bury the kids in uvalde today and congress is away, right? they are on break. there is momentum to do something and they are away from washington. lauren, thank you so much for that. lauren fox. >>> let's talk now with one of the doctors who is treating some of the shooting victims from uvalde. dr. ronald stewart is the senior trauma surgeon at university hospital in san antonio. doctor, thank you so much for taking the time to join us this morning. we really appreciate it. i know that you're treating three patients including a 66-year-old woman that we know to be the shooter's grandmother. how are they all doing? >> everyone is significantly
