it is par for the course with adam schiff.er the past four years. when i gave him the opportunity to redeem himself and show some credibility, all he does regurgitate the same old talking points he said for the past four years. elizabeth: house intelligence report found that adam schiff knew there is not trump/russia collusion but he plowed ahead anyway. former director of national intelligence under obama former obama attorney general loretta lynch. susan rice, samantha power, all said they never saw direct evidence the trump campaign was applauding her work conspiring to collude with russia. they did not find it. those officials james comey would testify to that too, did not find it. no they are there they did not find it pretty is still sick there was, your final word. >> that's why gave them the opportunity that is why yielded my time to adam schiff to give him an opportunity to maybe teach us something we haven't learned may be dispute the mueller report. dispute the latest intelligence findings a steele dossier was fake

the liar adam schiff. bringing another schiff show to washington. caught red handed doctoring a mark meadows text message as part of the january 6th sham in it turns out that schiff claime to have text message evidence from a congressman, jim jordan. texted the former white house chief of staff mark meadows to instruct mikeie pence to overtu the election results. that was an utter lie from schiff. he misrepresented and doctored what the message said. it was the summary of the legal theory. it was not from jim jordan but a washington lawyer. there were no instructions coming from jim just like we have been telling you, this investigation is a sh has a pre-determined outcome. schiff and company are creating fake text messages to hold meadows in criminal contempt.in all because they hate donald trump and want to purge him from the republican party. joe biden's reaction today? i am not sure he knows what day i >> what was your reaction? >> i don't know. i have not spoke t he is worthy of being held in c >> sean: we ought to have a no confidence vote. as

joining us now is democratic congressman adam schiff of california. s the chairman of the house intelligence committee and member of the january 6th select committee. congressman schiff, the fifth amendment, invoking the fifth amendment means you personally believe as you invoke it that you did commit or may have committed a crime and answering this question might bring you closer to prosecution and conviction for committing that crime but people sometimes hide behind the fifth amendment when they really aren't likely to be self-incriminating. how does the congressional committee determine whether the fifth amendment is being properly invoked? >> it is a good question, lawrence. to give some of the chronology here for weeks we tried to get mr. clark to come before the committee. ultimately we were forced to subpoena him. we then brought him before the committee. he refused to answer pertinent questions and gave a wide ranging set of excuses, assertions of different purported privileges, not the fifth amendment however, which didn't seem to have a good

adam schiff was caught fabricating a text message from jim jordan to mark meadows, speaking of january 6th our dear friend liz cheney, and her alliance with democrats punished members of her own party has repercussions, tonight we speak to the woman who lost a primary against her in wyoming plus the dnc hell the holiday party last night. you were not there? nancy and joe were showing their page in seen and unseen but first we won't be fooled again, that is the focus of tonight's angle. if there is one thing most americans agree on, they are tired of covid, 60% feel worn out by the pandemic. of those 36% said they feel worn out a lot compared to 39% who say they don't feel worn out at all by the pandemic and its restrictions, who are these people who don't feel worn out by the pandemic? i guess they must either live in red states where coitus is like any other virus or the bunch running our colleges and universities because some college administrators obviously preferred the way things were at the start of covid. a closed campus, virtual learning, limited students socializing and the sc

then, as the january six probe considers criminal referrals, for the former president, congressman adam schiff, and his republican colleague, that the committee says has information directly relevant to the investigation. plus, hunter walker with new reporting on the trump campaign's connection, to intimidation of a georgia election poll worker. and my interview with the director of the cdc. and the president's new push to deal with omicron. >> former president trump announced he has gotten his booster shot. it may be one of the few things he and i agree on. >> when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i'm chris, he is the only reason that anyone knows kyle rittenhouse's name, is because he shot three people, and killed two of them. last, month rittenhouse was acquitted on all, charges after his lawyers argued, that he acted in self-defense, when he shot those people. i think the most reasonable people, even those who believe that that was the correct legal, finding in that case. understand the key facts of what kyle rittenhouse did, in kenosha wisconsin last august. what's bro

he developed in the course of obviously being in a single person in the impeachment process and adam schiff smoke is kind of a how-to manual for condemning to leaders the guilt when errors feels liken it has been weekend and so in that sense i think it is a book that will continue to be useful in the road a lot of the trump books are very much in the moment and they feel dated almost on publication and this is not one of those. >> now mark meadows, the former white house chief of staff just published a cheap chief, is that one that you think will be of valuable resource and one that you will review. >> you know, haven't read it yet. i do intend to, there's money of these trump books and memoirs become out there reviewing them one at a time, is not always the most useful approach consumers away for a critical mass of books and then i try to tackle them to go to see what we are learning collectively from them i only reviewed a handful of the latest generation of trump books, join the hills memoir, questions memoir, there's been a lot of journalistic books that have come out in recent months a

congressman adam schiff of california is the head of the house intelligence committee.partisan committee to investigate the january 6th insurrection and his bill, the protecting our democracy act, passed the house today. congressman schiff, first your reaction to the d.c. circuit court ruling today. >> well, i think there are two things that were really significant about it. the first was how quickly they took up the case and how quickly they arrived at a decision. but also the overwhelming nature of that decision and the real invitation to the supreme court to allow the court of appeal's judgment to stand. i think the courts understand that during the trump years, that he effectively played rope-a-dope in the case of former white house counsel don mcgahn, he was able to stall for over two years before that official was deposed, and i don't think the courts want to allow themselves to be used that way again. so i think a very significant decision on the merits and very significant in terms of how quickly they reached that conclusion. >> how significant is getting these

he sat next to adam schiff and adam schiff admitted the republicans win at the midterms. i didn't learn until the morning and i was aghast, i was astounded and i sought him out on the house floor and i said kevin, first of all we are having a private conversation. if it wasn't, you know i said the exact opposite of what you told the press. he looks at me and he says, yeah, i know, adam but you know how it goes. i said kevin, no, i don't know how it goes. you just make stuff up and that's how you operate? that's not how i operate. that is how he operates and you cannot have someone with such little regard for the truth serving as the speaker of the house. and indeed this is one of the most destructive things over the less so years and he was ahead of his time in his lack of devotion to the truth but over the last four years there's been this relentless assault by trump and his accolades on the truth itself. probably best expressed by julie on who said the truth wasn't truth and kellyanne conway said they were entitled to their own alternative facts. if we can't agree on a

i'll talk to adam schiff about the plan, next. machine adam schiff about the plan, next machin and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea

did and adam schiff is now claiming it wasn't used, fbi probe when it was. hiff has lied about so many things his credibility is completely shredded. the reality he was part of an effort to abuse our federal government, our congress, the agencies within that government and the american news media, all to cripple a political opponent and violate his civil liberties. it was disgusting, disgraceful. it deserves a lot more coverage which i'm afraid to say you may never get. elizabeth: good to have you on. we'll have update on what is going on with the border crisis. a hideous car crash involving a mother and daughter who are now dead. an update with kat cammack. next.

more you said adam schiff lied. he also altered a text message -- >> that's right.s, and he should be thrown out of congress also and prosecuted for what he said about me. because he created -- first of all, he created the whole russia, russia, russia scam which turned out to be nothing, it was all a hoax. paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc, the democrats. and adam schiff would walk out knowing -- think how bad this is -- he knows it's a scam. they made it up. maria: president trump reacting to house intelligence chairman adam schiff altering, doctoring the text message that congressman jim jordan forwarded to former white house chief of staff mark meadows one day before the capitol riots on january 6th. schiff has yet to be held accountable for misleading the american people repeatedly over the last several years about russian collusion, impeachment and other things. but could that change if republicans take back the house in 2022? byron donalds joins right now. good morning, congressman, thanks for being here. >> good morning, maria. merry christmas. maria: a

so joining me now democratic congressman adam schiff. he's on the select committee investigating january 6th and is also a chair of the intelligence committee. congressman, good to have you. thanks for joining. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> most likely this defeat for the former president goes next to the supreme court with a 6-3 conservative majority, and three trump appointed judges. are you concerned about what the court might do? >> well, i think you always have to be concerned about this particular court. the issue is really whether they're a conservative court or a partisan court. if they're a conservative court, this should be very easy. indeed, i think if they're a conservative court they don't need to take this case from the court of appeals. the court of appeals made a very powerful argument, which i think is the right one, that both branches of government -- the executive branch and the legislative branch -- agree these records should be turned over. and why on earth should the courts step in the middle of that and dec

adam schiff, of course, a dumb person and a partisan democrat. what is so interesting and ought to make you sit up and pay attention, the suddenly partisan republicans are making identical noises. this afternoon senator roger wicker, a sitting republican senator, went on fox news to say we may need to send american troops to ukraine and possibly because this -- and possibly think about the use of nuclear weapons. got that in our back pocket. roger wicker, sitting u.s. senator. nobody laughed at roger wicker. this is so crazy that no one seems aware of how crazy it is. they're all just sitting back and listening to victoria nuland tell them what we need to do. how much has this penetrated the psyche of washington d.c.? here's a sad piece of tape, this is joni ernst. nice republican, sort of reasonable on most things from the midwest now sounded like a war monger. sounded like adam schiff when she talks about vladimir putin. >> he needs to say to vladimir putin that we are no longer going to allow you to continue with the nord stream 2 pipeline. we

and finally democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as the leader of the first impeachment trial of president trump. he recently spoke about his book on the author interview program "after words." >> he wouldn't disagree with him and he would have an outside party running the house of representatives and an ethical one to boot. the story as you know that i telling the book i told because it is uncharacteristic. this was in 2010. the midterms were about six months away and we were having an idle conversation about who was going to win the midterms. he said the republicans will win and it started and i was relieved to escape to the movie. we landed and went our separate ways. that night unbeknownst to me in which he told the press everybody knew they were going to win the midterms and atoms admitted republicans were going to win the midterms. so i didn't learn about this until in the morning when the newspaper came out and i was astounded. first of all we were having a private conversation. but if it wasn't, you know i said the opposite. he looks at me as says i know but you

presidency, american democracy, congressman adam schiff, of california, with questionings his role asirst appeasement trial, in our program afterwards. >> the speaker essentially donald trump would be speaker, he would not ever, you'd have an outside party effectively fronting the house of representatives and to boot in the story as you know, as a writer the book, macarthur and i were sitting on a plane coming back to washington, this was in 2010 and about six moves away where having a conversation about this nice and the democrats would run and he said the republicans will run and. [laughter] and, i realized that the conversation it and we went our separate ways that night, unbeknownst to me, the press and he told press that everybody knew the republicans would win and adam schiff said the republicans would win the midterms and so then the newspaper came out and i was just aghast, i was astounded and sought him out of the house for us and cabinet, first like that this conversation it, was private and it wasn't, it was exec opposite way from prison looks at me and he said i know but y

they're all reading from the same talking points from adam schiff to roger wicker to joni ernst.ns out that foreign lobbying campaigns work pretty well. j that's why the ukrainians paid for one in washington.ha so where is all of this going? what can we expect over the next month or two? colonel douglas mcgregor has thought a lot about this enjoins us not to assess. where is this going, do you think? >> well, based upon your monologue, it's hard to tell. but certainly the destination is the land of the stupids. what is really disturbing thiss. is the eve of the 80th anniversary of pearl harbor. an event that dragged us in to a two-front war for which we were completely prepared. listening to the comments by wicker and others, it strikes me that joe biden has lots of friends on the hill, all of which are living with him in the early 1990s. they seem to think that russia is prostrate. that russia has no alternative but to submit to whatever we tell it to do, which is ridiculous. if we challenge russia on its doorstep, and by doorstep, i mean eastern ukraine, militarily, we will be

based on that, critics would argue it would appear that adam sheriff has a -- adam schiff has a habiteading the american people. interesting story, indeed. he's previously been accused of leaking fake donald trump jr. e-mails and fabricating the transcript of the 2019 call between then president trump and ukraine's president. we heard his claim to have seen evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. that wasn't true either. on monday, according to the federalist, he doctored text messages between former chief of staff mark meadows and congressman jordan between the january 6th hearings. >> we could cue the first graphic. this one reads on january 6th, 2021, vice president mike pence as president of the senate should call out all electoral votes that believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all. you can see why this is so critical to ask mr. meadows about. >> that is not an actual text message. the federalist goes onto say not only did adam schiff misrepresent the substance of the text and its source, it was significantly longer in original form th

adam schiff was caught fabricating a text message from jim jordan to mark meadows. we have all the details, and speaking of january 6, our dear friend liz cheney and her alliance with the democrats to punish members of her own party has repercussions. tonight, we speak to the woman who launched a primary against her in wyoming. plus, the dnc held a holiday party last night. you were not there? what? raymond arroyo in "seen and unseen." but first, we won't be fooled again. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." if there's one thing that most americans agree on, it's that they're tired of covid. a new poll shows that 60% feel worn out by the pandemic. 36% feel they are -- 39% say they don't feel worn out all by the pandemic. by the way, who are these people who don't feel worn out by the pandemic? i guess they must either live in red states where covid is treated like any other virus, or they are among the bunch running our colleges and universities. because some college of ministers obviously preferred the way things work at the start of covid, closed campuses, limit

adam schiff lies for years, what happens after his claims are debunked? he's awarded with a book deal and media tour. there is this effort you described to appease the biden administration and spin the unspeakable. cnn calls it an antidote for inflation. skyrocketing violent crime, looting, largely ignored like the waukesha massacre because of who carried it out. open border? what open border. i could go on, we have finite time. no apologies, no self-reflection, just hubris. >> tammy: as an observer and a critic of what's going on in the street with the government and politicians, you see the everyday impact and they come out of not reporting things when it's important to. what is your take on where we are at today? >> i look at what's going on and i say democrats in and out of the media are pushing a very specific narrative that happens to align with their own political goals. they don't need to be held accountable to any of the facts. when you see that fraud jussie smollett making a claim that never made sense to begin with it didn't matter whether or n

but adam schiff takes it alters it and does what frankly that -- we've seen other democrats do.n they went to pfizer court and alter evidence there they took to get that warrant so this is nothing new with the left. but it is scary because it is weapon nation of government against plel enemies that is wrong as it gets. >> you know, congressman i get to that lawyer and fascinating how you can, you know, literally alter a document and plead guilty and you get that, i mean, he's got a license back and nothing adam she have has been caught multiple time doing this congressman and it appears now this january 6th committee you know, they're crossing redlines congressman that shouldn't be crossed. the purpose of congress is not to be a law enforcement entity. the purpose of the subpoena as you well know is leading member on the republican side is for some legislative intent what's the legislative intent here? it doesn't even seem like they're interested in the security situation. it is seem like they're interest master's degree talking about embarrassing republicans before 2022. >> tha

midnight in washington, california democratic congressman adam schiff recounts his experiences as the leader of the first impeachment trial of president trump. congressman schiff recently spoke about this book on our other interview program afterwards. here is a portion. >> if kevin mccarthy were ever to become speaker, essentially donald trump would be speaker. he would not disagree with him, ever. and you would have an outside party effectively running the house of representatives and an unethical one. the story, as you know, that i tell in the book, i told because it was so characteristic. mccarthy and i were sitting on a plane flying back to washington. this was in 2010. the midterms were about six months away. we were having an idol conversation about who was with him -- the democrats would win. he said the republicans would win. and the movie started to really escape to the movie. we landed. i thought nothing of the conversation and we went our separate ways. that made, unbeknownst to me a briefing of the press in which he told the press that everybody knew the republicans are g

representative adam schiff had a dire warning for meadows if he continues to stonewall the committee. let's take a listen. >> if you are listening at home, mr. meadows, mr. bannon, mr. clark, i want you to know this. history will be written about these times, about the work this committee has undertaken, and history will not look upon any of you as martyrs. >> reporter: of course that was the committee chairman bennie thompson, not adam schiff. my mistake. but the committee is clear they are going to pursue criminal contempt. they could refer this to the justice department for possible prosecution because meadows has suddenly decided to stonewall the committee. >> so there's damning evidence about why meadows should be complying with the subpoena. certainly there's a lot of points of inquiry that would not be subjected to executive privilege. how likely is it the justice department would prosecute meadows for contempt? >> reporter: this is a great question, anderson, because of course we know they're moving forward with a criminal case against steve bannon. but this case is different

the day after a failed attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power through violence. >> adam schiff didn't name which lawmaker sent that message. of course, donald trump jr. and former president trump's media allies are now downplaying the severity of the insurrection, singing a very different tune on their shows every night. here's how mark meadows responded to that procedure. >> what they've done is had a contempt vote. we've tried very hard, in a very transparent and accommodating way, to share non-privileged information. what we found out tonight is that not only did that just get disregarded, but then they tried to weaponize text messages, selectively leak them, to put out a narrative that, quite frankly, the president didn't act. i can tell you, the president did act. this is all about -- it's not about holding me in contempt. it is about coming after president donald trump. sadly, that's what tonight's vote was all about. >> the panel voted unanimously to advance the contempt of congress charges against meadows last night. the full house is expected to vote on the resolution

>> joining me now is congressman adam schiff of california. use select committee on the january 6 attack and chairman of house intelligence committee. thank you congressman schiff for being here. i'm just going to read a little bit from jeffrey clark's letter to your committee. mr. clark has a reasonable basis for believing that his testimony before the committee could be used against him in a criminal prosecution. i personally have never heard of a former justice department official who apparently reasonably believes that he either did commit a crime or would be accused of one. have you? and how big of a deal is that in your mind? >> you know, i'm going to have to go back to see during watergate whether there were high-ranking justice department officials or the attorney general himself at the time who took the fifth. i don't know the answer off the top of my head. but you're right, joy. it is extraordinary. he was not just a department of justice employee. he was at the top of the justice department. reportedly, he was in contention with trum

founding members of the institute for policy studies which had links to old soviet union, and we have adam schiffshould have his bar membership revoked, given the fact he was doctors text messages, paragraphs at a time. this is not the first time he has done that. he is a slip and fall congressman and also a slip and fall lawyer. in this case, he wants to put mark meadows, former chief of staff to president trump in prison. and this is what i want to talk about we have a committee with not a single republican on it this was appointed. violates house rules. you can't have a house of representatives where the speaker of the house appoints all of the members. then how was the capitol building breached? that is a subject that congress should be very interested in, so it doesn't happen again, but they are not. this committee having been appoint by nancy pelosi is a cover-up job. it is a cover-up job because she can assure all these loyalists will never turn their sights on her and try to figure out why she didn't call up more capitol police, she is in charge of the capitol police, and why she didn't a

adam schiff. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. schiff: madam speaker, i rise in support of the protecting our democracy act. i'm very proud to sponsor this legislation and i'm grateful for the partnership of many chairs and members who contributed to the effort, as well as the leadership of speaker pelosi. our system was founded upon a respect for the rule of law. and a carefully constructed balance of powers among the three branches. that system has throughout history been tested and just asafter watergate congress workd to enact reforms, so we must now examine the cracks in the democratic foundation and address them. that's what this bill does. it will prevent presidential abuses of power, ensure the independence of our justice system, and reinforce the system of checks and balances. specifically, among other things, it would prevent corruption or misuse of the pardon power. it would ensure that congress may exercise its constitutionally man cated -- mandated oversight responsibilities and enforce subpoenas in a timely manner. it
