. >> we spoke earlier to amanda renteria, a former political director for the hillary clinton campaignanda and former congresswoman barbara comstock to get their perspectives. >> i want to start with you, barbara. you worked on capitol hill for a number of years and i want to get your reaction to the deadly attack that took place wednesday. >> well, it is truly just horrifying. i woke up this morning with a sense of dread about 8:00 and sent off some emails to family, to friends because i really feared something like this would happen. >> something else that we saw in the senate on the floor today, lindsey graham, a longtime trump ally appeared to break from the president saying, quote, trump and i, we had a hell of a journey, but today the first thing you will say, all i can say is count me out, enough is enough. i tried to be helpful, but this is a really big reversal and, of course, we've seen him be a staunch ally to the president. >> i think that's because -- and you're hearing from people at the white house the stories that you're hearing about the people are very concerned just

i spoke earlier with barbara comstock and amanda renteria. barbara, amanda, good morning to you both. thank you so much for joining us. we have a lot to get to. barbara, i'm going to start with you. in a tweet on sunday, you said the house should immediately subpoena president trump's phone records as well as rudy giuliani's phone records. can you further explain what you meant and what do you think is the next move here? should the 25th amendment be invoked? we know the house is inching closer to a second impeachment. >> first of all, there are three ways you can get the president to leave office. first, he could resign but we don't expect he will have the decency to do that. like richard nixon, he can't even rise to that level of nixon. secondly, you have the 25th amendment. which the vice president and others have indicated that they have kept it in reserve, sort of in a time-out, but aren't going to do illustrate at this point. third, impeachment. and i support putting pressure on all three fronts. >> amanda, i want to get your thoughts on

barbara comstock and democratic strategist, hillary clinton's former national political director, amanda renteria. barbara, on fox news wednesday, senator lindsey graham had a strong warning for members of his party about loyalty to former president donald trump. let's take a listen. >> i hope president trump understands that his legacy and his best future lies with the republican party. i hope people in our party understand the party itself. if you're wanting to erase donald trump from the party, you're going to get erased. >> strong words. barbara, what's the message here for republicans, do you think? >> i think the message is, we are going to have a politics, really democrat and republican, that's post-trump and post-pandemic, and we have a lot of new challenges, and i don't think we need to look to the past. yesterday was about turning the page and a new administration, but also a new congress that has a lot of new faces, particularly a lot of new republican faces. we have more women, we have more minority members. and i think we need to focus on that and the agenda that we want to get done

spoke with former republican congresswoman barbara comstock and a former aide to hillary clinton, amanda renteriabarbara, i'm going to start with you. in a tweet sunday you said the house should meet to subpoena the president's phone records as well as rudy giuliani's phone records. can you explain what you meant and what's the next move? should the 25th amendment be invoked? we know the house is inching closer to a second impeachment. >> on wednesday he was calling a sitting senator reportedly to to ask him to drag this process out, and this is while the senator is with other senators, hold up under siege with people going around the capitol saying hang mike pence, and all these threats going on. the president had not called mike pence. i think we should get those phone records, because you can go to the phone company, ask for them and see who the president was calling that afternoon, when he wasn't talking to mike pence and not doing his job of getting the national guard there, or protecting the capitol that was under assault. that is one method they can use in their impeachment. >> amanda, i w
