that's adam schiff. here for reaction fox news contributors.lumn about adam schiff's disgraceful legacy and described him as a liar with the feeding frenzy over the russian dossier which we know was a complete fabrication. i have seen proof of collusion -- he made that up. i find it hard to believe that anybody in california would think this guy is senatorial timber. what do you think? >> i will try to put this as politely as possible. adam schiff is a pathological liar and should be kept as far away from the u.s. senate as his district is from washington, d.c. he dragged the country through the russian collusion hoax. i called his office 3 times and sent emails saying i would love to see this evidence. they never got back to me. the last time i said if you don't send me that evidence i will write there is no evidence. they never got back to me. there is no such evidence. adam schiff lied about this for 3 years. made us a more divided country. he should be kept away from the senate. >> douglas, there are so many shameful episodes associated wit

>> i wrote this in my book how many times adam schiff said that there was evidence of collusion with russia, 2 1/2 years we listened to adam schiff talk about evidence that he had seen that was never there. let me be very clear about this point. congress has no formal role in justice department decisions. they can make recommendations today. but when it comes to the justice department's decision about bringing charges in the future, i would hope that they would not bring charges against the former president. i don't -- look, as i wrote in my book, i think the president's actions and words on january 6th were reckless. but i don't know that it is criminal to take bad advice from lawyers and so i hope the justice department is careful. >> dana: we'll see on that. >> i want to say i hope the justice department understands the magnitude and the very idea of indicting a former president of the united states. i think that would be terribly divisive in the country at a time when the american people want to see us heal. at this time of year we're all thinking about the most important things

let's hear from adam schiff on his views. [video clip] >> do you think the evidence is there that donald trump committed the crimes mentioned and that the cases are prosecutable, that you could get a conviction? >> i think the evidence is there that donald trump committed criminal offenses in connection with efforts to overturn the election. viewing it as a former prosecutor, i think there is sufficient evidence to charge the president. i do not know what the justice department has. i know what is in the public record. the evidence seems plain to me. host: from the state -- from state of the union, adam schiff yesterday. our coverage of what we expect will be the final hearing of the genuine six committee is coming up this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. eastern. we will have that live for you here on c-span and online at c-span.org and on our c-span now mobile app. let's go to your calls. to pennsylvania. patrick says the work of the committee has not been effective. caller: not only has it not been effective, but if you look at the

adam schiff, jerry nadler, -- host: why people? caller: the simple fact they light every day to the american people. -- host: why evil? caller: the simple fact they lie every day to the american people. host: where you go to read the truth as you said? caller: i go on the internet and try to find whatever sites i feel is going to show me the truth. i do not know exactly -- i do not have any particular site go to to read this stuff but i am just saying i think it is time that the american people wake up and realize how good we had things under president trump. host: we heard that point, randy. in addition to the criminal referrals for the former president and people in his administration, the committee also referred the following house republicans to the ethics committee. the gop leader, kevin mccarthy who is slated to take over the republican party if he can get that speaker shifts. jim jordan the republican from ohio, andy biggs from arizona and scott perry from pennsylvania. the ethics committee as some of you may know, is evenly

that's adam schiff here for reaction.fox news contributor deroy murdock and douglas murray dreursx. a year ago, i wrote a column entitled adam schiff's disgraceful legacy. i described him as a remorseless liar who fed des the feeding frenzy over the phony dossier promotedit and he defended it, even read , believe it or not, into the congressional record . the the entire dossier, which we run now know was a complete fabrication. and also, i've seen absolute proof of collusion. well, he had and he just made it up. to beli i find it hard to believe thato anybody in california would ever think that this guy is in a senatorial timber. >> what do you think, greg?>> i i'll try to put this adamolitely as possible. >> adam schiff is a pathological liar who ought to b patholoe kept as far away m the u.s. senate as his california district is fromenat washington, d.c.. this isn't just an exaggeration or something he said once orasho twice for three long years, he dragged this country that through this russian collusion , hoax. he sai

a time to liz cheney, and talk to adam schiff just this morning. put forward their referrals that they decide upon tomorrow for the public. and as important as they are, as historic as they will be, i want everybody to remember it is the entire body of work of the january six committee -- more than 16, 17 months worth of work investigating, getting at the truth. just as we try to do very early on in impeachment number two. what will stand out to me, and what has to that to me, is the amazing story of extraordinary courage, heroes, and then the extraordinary corruption, cowardice, criminality of others. i'm talking about others at the highest levels of our government. i look forward to tomorrow's hearing and the delivery of the report this week. >> okay. let's talk about what donald trump is doing. not surprisingly, lashing out on his social media platform, true -- writing, our country is sick inside, very much like a person dying of cancer. the crooked fbi, the so-called department of justice, and intelligence. all part of the democrat party and sy

>> you heard democrat adam schiff on the show.nough. he thinks they're not moving fast enough. the justice department is in a thankless position right now. >> it's clear that the committee has more information than the justice department has at this point. >> although it should be the opposite. >> it should be the opposite. i do appreciate, to scott's point, that they are taking a slow and deliberate approach to this and not letting politics and election cycle or who is serving on the committee to expedite the investigation. we know litigation takes a very long time. i'd rather them do it with a deliberate intent rather than with a political. i do think the bipartisan nature, there was an opportunity for more republicans to be on the committee and they show not to, and so you do have people that are republicans on the committee that take some of that politicized nature of that referral out. >> the political impacts of this, and i wanted to bring this up because i wanted to hear your comments on this, kristen, i heard tell this wee

also put in there adam schiff.er change you're going to get, adam schiff will no longer be on the intel committee when i become speaker. why? another example that he lied about this. you see clapper and brennan using their intelligence clearance to lie to the american public. what elon musk has been able to do -- now we know why the white house wanted to fight so strongly against him owning twitter. all he's done is put out the truth. now we need to start looking at facebook, at google. these now have become arms of the democratic party, arms of the biden administration. but they also used the intel community as well to lie to the american public. should those people keep their clearances? should those people still be allowed to have information? if they're going to be political individuals, then, no, they should not. and this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we need to investigate going forward. maria: yeah. well, you know, we knew or we had a sense that this was happening at twitter, but you're right. i mea

adam schiff was there for part of it.red even there to have heard from the f.b.i. what did they know and when did they know it rather than a bunch of young people i worked with who were trump -- i think it will all be investigated because it is private company and what's baked into twitter we'll hear about that and buckle up, everybody. >> harris: a quick correction to make. merry christmas and thank you. we showed you the wrong jim baker in an image earlier in the segment. we apologize for that error. i did not see it or i would have called it on the fly but we'll correct it here. again apologize. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."

two and a half years we listened to adam schiff talk about that and it was never there. let me be very clear about this point. congress has, has no formal role in justice department decisions. they can make recommendations today but when it comes to their decision about, about, about bringing charges in the future, i would hope they would not bring charges against the former president. i don't, look, as i wrote in my book, i think his actions and words on january 6 were reckless. but i don't know that it's criminal to take bad advice from lawyers. host: again, former vice president mike pence yesterday before the criminal referrals came from the january 6 committee. as reaction from some members of congress, ed markey says that the american people today are in debt to the committee for their work to uncover and document the fraud committed and violence stoke by donald trump and it's clear he belongs in a jailhouse, not the white house. a representative from new jersey saying that they were the first to demand the trump prosecution and if we fail to hold him accountable,

. >>> straight ahead, january 6th committee member congressman adam schiff is going to join us live.hat he expects should happen, thaes next. >>> a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that we told you about earlier has shaken humboldt county, california. veronica, i know we were talking earlier about thousands without power because of this. what are you learning so far? >> reporter: yeah, we understand that as of now about 70% of humboldt county remains without power. that's about 70,000 people in the dark. as officials assess the damage. aftershocks continue from this very large earthquake near the coastal community of ferndale, but officials are saying there is no tsunami threat at this time. there are reports, however, of damage to roadways, debris on roadways, cracks on a large bridge that connects the community, fern bridge and the chp right now shutting down that bridge out of an abundance of caution as they assess the damage. we're hearing reports of damage to homes in the area in terms of what's happening inside, shelves knocked down, glassware, china broken as people wake up and assess

you mentioned eric's wall wall and adam schiff. what is the left going to do about them with their intentional lies about christia russian collusion and knowingly advancing the russian information campaign and undermined the duly elected president of the united states. what about the new york times has -- how about they return their pulitzers for advancing that massive lie of russian collusion . the things that the left claims they want honesty, that is aliv because all they do, most of them, is life your eye will mak a deal with them. i will make a deal. i will let them continue to lie but i am going to ask that they not be set dishes traders. >> the size of the lie matters. so he lighted new york, 750,000 people back and should do it. these are national democrats that are lying to the whole of american people are they were trying to undo an election by their lies come away more serious than what joe santos ha done. they have no shame to go george santos is a liar, he should resign. maybe we should make this claim since we have li

adam schiff from the intelligence committee. so focus on revenge, focus on irrelevant committees and focus on irrelevant investigations does not help the american family. and so we urge that he doesn't go down these stupid dark paths. >> there's a party of investigation. and by the way, you forgot the commitments to america, which is a positive agenda to clean up joe biden and your mess anyway. now, that's pretty rich coming from the same democratic cabal . they went all out in the phony russia hoax, the steele dossier. they did everything in their power to distract you, the american people, with one baseless conspiracy theory after another. now, joe and biden are not supposed to be above the law, but we already know we have one justice system for democrats and another one for conservatives and republicans and team biden and their of minions. they are now planning their aggressive strategy to smear, slander, besmirch anybody that dares to shine a light on their nefarious dealings, including against laptop repairman john paul, ma

joining me now is the chair of the house intelligence committee, it's congressman adam schiff who alsoerves on that select committee investigating the january 6th attack. it's good to have you here in person. >> great. good to be with you. >> chairman schiff vladimir putin said on friday it was the fsb and cia negotiated this prisoner swap between viktor bout and brittney griner. what did you think of this trade and why did vladimir putin want bout so badly? >> first of all i'm thrilled griner is home. whenever an american hostage is released it's cause for celebration, but it's hard. two other americans, paul whelan, and mark fogle remain. it's an incentive for other despots to essentially grab an american, use them as a bargaining chip, so it's hard. and i'm so impressed with the whelan and fogle families for their gratitude one american is free. but we need to continue working and i know the biden administration is to release others. in terms of putin he gets the arms dealer back. he also knows he can royal the american body politic by picking one to send back to the united states a

so adam schiff does putting musk in harm's way. and maybe i'm putting adam shift in harm's way.utting me in harm's way. >> jesse: if you say pencil neck, he can say, that is hate speech. >> jeanine: but it is a true defense. >> greg: nice. >> jesse: what do you think -- >> jeanine: when i was ada, we had investigators in my office and 40, 50 of them. we have a wiretap. we were on a wiretap 24 sap, saturday, sunday talking to each other. we had in the investigator's division and if they wanted to rest for an hour until the wire went off, they would do that. the same with musk. we are not talking about violating the ordinance of the city of san francisco where he's at intending people live there as a residence, no. people are taking sleeping bags and want to get a few hours of sleep and go right back to work. he's providing a little more humane ability and more comfortable chance for them to do that. as for the twitter and hate speech and all that stop, look, the facts are the truth and if elon musk is able to say, hate, hate speech is down. it is a private company. adam schiff an

adam schiff has destroyed the intel community. he lied to the american public.en he lied about his staff coordinating with the whistle-blower. he lied about having more than circumstantial evidence. while he was doing all this, tin tell committee wasn't doing their work. afghanistan collapsed. china was spreading a virus around the world. what was happening with russia and ukraine? we're trying to turn the intel committee back to the committee it's supposed to be. adam shift won't be on there or neither eric swalwell. because of the briefing i got from the fbi that the relationship that he had with a chinese spy, there's a lot of democrats that have the ability to serve on there. he will not get a security clearance in the private sector. >> sean: the fbi was meeting with big tech every week before the election, even elon musk said the suppression of conservative dissenting voices was by its very definition election interference. he pointed out that the media was complicit. he pointed out twitter was a propaganda arm of the democratic party. do we need regulatio

joining us now is democratic congressman adam schiff of california.er of the january 6th select committee. he's also chairman of the house intelligence committee and served as lead impeachment manager in the first impeachment trial of donald trump. thank you very much for joining us tonight, congressman schiff. what can we expect tomorrow, especially by way of more clear evidence of the possible examples of witness tampering? >> you will see, really, the flushed out report. you've got, i think, an extensive summary that we released yesterday. but we will go into fairly granular detail about each of these multiple lines of efforts to overturn the election. and i think what will be most interesting to the public's we will begin rolling out the transcripts. so, you will see what tony ornato had to say, you will see what cassidy hutchinson had to say. you will see what a great many other witnesses had to say in much greater detail in -- and from witnesses that we were not able to present merely because of a lack of time. and some of that testimony, i, thi

maria: i don't know if adam schiff believes anything that he says he anymore.american people. russian collusion in plain sight, hunter biden disinformation, does he believe people believe him? >> i don't know about that you bring up an an important point. we have a lot of issues, the hunter biden issue and the twitter issue. we have to pursue those. we have to keep our eye on the ball. that's legislating and we have to legislate and get budgets that make sense and that are fiscally sound. and we have to deal with the menace china is. we have to deal with the menace that russia is. we've got a lot of things to do. we've got to stay focused. we have to deal with all of these issues. that's something they haven't done the last two years. maria: we will be watching. we appreciate your time this morning. thank you, sir. congressman john katko in d.c. this morning. we'll be right back. advisor wilu on a comprehensive wealth plan across your full financial picture. a plan with tax-smart investing strategies designed to help you keep more of what you earn. this is the

right back at you adam schiff. look in the mirror. talk about content moderation and spewing of lies and hate, you can only look at adam schiff. how he has a security clearance after republicans take control would be beyond me. everything he says i just fundamentally don't believe start to finish. he has earned that. he has just earned it. >> harris: what do we do when we see situations like this the f.b.i. getting cozy with social media platforms and now maybe getting cover from dems on the hill? what is your final say? >> congress's role is to use the power of the purse. but they've been impotent in that. they never do it. that's the challenge to the house. will you use the power of the purse to shut this down and have them come clean and give some oversight to what they are supposedly doing and keep them in their lane. let's go after terrorists and find the killers in idaho. let's do some things that are productive for america rather than trying to put your focus on elon musk, my goodness. >> harris: thank you as always for being i

adam schiff believes that there is reason for criminal referrals. he's been after the president as you know for a long, long time. he said "in terms of the criminal statute, if you can prove someone incited an insurrection, incited violence against the government or aid and comfort to those who did, that violates the law." so we'll see what congress does. a lot of people think this, sandra, is nothing more than a political exercise if there are referrals to the justice department. >> sandra: we will see when it's underway moments from now. andy mccarthy first, as we await what the panel will introduce, sort of the final act, if you will. what are your expectations for today, andy? >> act is a good way of putting it, sandra. it's theater. the best thing said about criminal referrals is that they don't make any difference to the justice department. i say that's the best thing that can be said because the worst thing that could be said is if you actually have a case as a good prosecutor that is evidence-based and that you could get convictions on, a co

congressman adam schiff is a democrat of california, he sits on the january 6th committee as chair of the house intelligence committee, and he joins me now. congressman, good to have you. i wonder, as we read through the report and we look at meadows's role, how you understand his role and his culpability in this scheme. >> well, i think the reason why meadows had some staying power in the trump administration is that he would go along with what the president wanted. but he also had the habit of basically telling people what they wanted to hear, and so you see in those text messages and in other witness testimony that he would tell one person that, well, the president, you know, he's going to recognize he needs to step aside, the election is over, but then he would tell someone else something very different and, of course, he would facilitate schemes of the former president. the most serious of which was the one that you mentioned, in which he was trying to install, help insult jeffrey clark, his unethical and unqualified lawyer at the justice department as the new acting attorney gen

so, a little bit of pressure on the doj from adam schiff. the day before the committee could be making these unprecedented moves. of course, we know the doj is eventually going to have to decide whether these referrals are made, whether to move on them. because we know this is something they don't technically have to do. yasmin? i'm gonna let you go, ali, barbara, let's get into this stuff. i want to pick up on some of what we heard from adam schiff. there two things in particular, right, first tell inject up or he believes are sufficient evidence based on what is available to the public. i want to know if you believe they're in fact is, from what we know so far, and what has been presented. and then number two, he feels as if the holdup, the stalling, at the doj is based on the consideration of political relevance. what do you make of those two points? >> well regards to the first point, we've seen sufficient evidence to make it -- the answers of the question, can the former president be charged to be the answer, yes. the harder question, s

a bit earlier today, committee member adam schiff gave his view on whether the former president should face accountability. >> i think the president has violated multiple criminal laws. you have to be treated like any other american that breaks the law, you have to be prosecuted. >> charges being considered by the former president include insurrection, obstruction, as well conspiracy. last hour former impeachment manager and trump's second trial, madeleine dean, told me the importance of the committee's decision and what it will mean. >> we have to get this right. we have to hold the former president of the united states to account. every single person, whether they are members of congress, or lawyers, or whomever, to account. because no one can be above the law, especially when you are talking about trying to, literally, topple our government. >> heading to more breaking news, border states bracing for the end of title 42 this week. the core era policy that allowed u.s. to expel migrants from the southern border. today the mayor of el paso texas declared a state of emergency. the bide

it's not like you're -- what did adam schiff say?like you're reading the instructions on how to build a carburetor. >> i hope not. i don't know what a carburetor looks like. way outside my area of expertise. i think we have precedence on this. the mueller report, which to some felt like a fizzle in its impact was still widely read in all the ways you can measure that. the 911 report was widely read. the baseball steroids scandal had a huge impact. it's fair to say many congressional hearings do not breakthrough, these reports can. >> but let's also talk about the format they used. and i think what they did here, and it's no small feat, is show how a congressional investigation can be done successfully. part of it was because this was choreographed and done meticulously. and there was a system in place for it. it wasn't just a free for all with lawmakers giving five minute colloquies. >> they drove this process. and i think you're accurate, they drove it by being different than usual. >> they had a tv producer. >> they hired producers

. >> and congressman adam schiff was on "state of the union." what did he say? >> adam schiff believes donald trump violated multiple laws in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. take a listen to what he told our colleague, jake tapper, this morning. >> as a former prosecutor i think there is sufficient evidence to charge the president. >> to get a conviction, though? >> i don't know what the justice department has. the evidence seems plain to me. tried to find votes that didn't exist. insighted a mob to attack the capitol. if that's not criminal, then i don't know what is. >> reporter: congressman schiff was asked about that insurrection stat you'd. he seemed to think donald trump's actions lined up pretty well with what the statute says you can incite violence or render aid to those who did. >> with these referrals, what kind of impact are we expecting they may or may not make on the doj investigations? >> reporter: the referrals themselves are largely symbolic. it's not a prosecutorial entity. at the same time we've heard over and over again from these

and understands the spasms of hate directed at him by people like adam schiff, directing divisive hate speech, putting musk's life in danger by coming after him. can you imagine how much censorship would continue if he hadn't purchased it? the excuse for deliberately censoring, they brand you a danger. used to be about speech, hate speech, disagreeable speech, and now it's disagreeable people. hate people. it's not about words. it's this person is a problem. they're branding people. what is the brand? that you're causing harm to a marginalized population. so a lot of this stuff takes babylon bee, got banned because they misgendered lavine, and that's violence. >> what twitter does was in many ways not only destructive to donald trump in terms of the election, it behooved joe biden, it was destructive to those people who believe there are alternatives to what fauci was saying, and harmed the trust that we have in the american government and first amendment. how do you defend that kind of behavior? >> well, i start by saying that they haven't told us what the american government asked to

. >> congressman adam schiff offered his thoughts on these criminal referrals earlier today on "state of the union" and what did he say? >> reporter: yeah. adam schiff thinks that trump violated multiple laws and should be prosecuted like any normal american. take a listen to what he told our jake tapper earlier today. >> as a former prosecutor, i think there's sufficient evidence to charge the president. >> to get a conviction? >> well, i don't know what the justice department has. i know what's in the public record. the evidence seems main to me. this is someone who, in multiple ways, tried to pressure state officials to find votes that didn't exist. this is someone who tried to interfere with a joint session, even inciting a mob to attack the capitol. if that's not criminal, then i don't know what is. >> reporter: interestingly, schiff pointed out the statute applies to people who cite violence and those who give aid and comfort to those who incite violence. >> as the committee announces these criminal referrals presumably, what kind of impact are they expected to have overall? >>

in a moment, committee member adam schiff joins us. but first, cnn's pamela brown sets the stage.t is the latest we know about possible criminal referrals by the january 6th committee? >> i just got off the phone with a source familiar with the deliberations, and i'm told the intent for the committee is by the end of this week, they will have made the final decisions on criminal referrals. and the people they're looking at include the former president donald trump and his allies. now, i am told by the source that they're only looking at people who may be under investigation by doj but have not been prosecuted, have not faced charges. this week is going to be a very busy week for the committee, as they go over various names and deliberate on these criminal referrals that, again, as part of these deliberations include the former president. >> and jack smith has sent subpoenas to officials in wisconsin and arizona, as he investigates. is it clear precisely what those subpoenas pertain to exactly? >> so, what we're told by sources, what they pertain to are communications between trump

. >> it seem people defending him say you see other members of the house like adam schiff that tend to and there's no consequences, no repercussions. >> well, that's true. it doesn't execution anyone actually. if you're dishonest like adam schiff has been, in his role as a member of congress, you can see people like eric swalwell, who had an affair with a chinese spy and continues to sit on the intelligence committee. that is a national security issue and should be treated as such. so look, it's not exclusive to republicans or democrats. but this is certainly something that is disturbing and warrants further investigation, which is currently taking place. >> trace: i want to move to tik tok now, this is the states that have banned tik tok on government devices. now we have the house. what do you think? it's not banned in the u.s. and we don't have any control over the app at all. what is your feeling about this overall kind of hit on tik tok? >> well, what is really disturbing about tik tok is as you know, the chinese communist party has control over all of these companies. byte dance,

this and sent a letter to facebook and probably the best thing about this is to see elon go at adam schiff on twitter. a little bit childish but at the same time see someone of power challenge a democrat in power you got to say elon is in power now as he controls twitter. a lot of people feel like their voice is finally heard. you started talking a minute ago and you said this was a major health crisis, it was. but what cannot be overstated enough is that it was a major power grab and a whole generation of americans showed they are okay with the government telling them what to do in the most intimate parts of their lives. i don't even recognize that as a version of this country. and i hope these efforts by elon helped changed some minds. >> rachel: i'm not sure it's going to happen. >> griff: as you rightly brought up the stuff we have seen from the twitter files so far did not deal with what so many ordinary americans went through during covid. >>this is a whole new chapter. this is why his tweet, elon musk's tweet about we are just getting started here now we know that's going to be a pa

congressman adam schiff on wha should be done ahead >> as we approach the end of the year and the endof the congress, the january six special committee is set to schedule a release for their final report. chairman bennie thompson now confirms that the police plan to publish the report a week after next on wednesday december 21st. they're also expecting to make criminal referrals at that time. according to new reporting tonight, they're considering referrals for at least for individuals in addition to ex president donald trump. that reportedly includes a former white house chiefs of staff and congressman mark meadows. john eastman, rudy giuliani and former department of justice official, jeffrey clark. so far, chairman thompson has not been ready to publicly name names. >> we have not made a decision as to who, but we have made decisions that criminal referrals will happen. i wish i could tell you one, two, three, four, but all of that is still being discussed. the committee continues its work to hold accountable the people who tried to overthrow the american democracy ungenerous sucks
