let's say good morning to andrew mccarthy. tell a secret about that final prom scene in your hair? >> yeah. you notice right there it's looking really good, isn't it? i was in new york at the time doing a play, and i had a shaved head, and we had to do a reshoot. they wanted to change the ending so i would end up with molly as opposed to how it was originally, where we didn't, and they gave me a bad wig, and i flew out to california and i look very forlorn and sad there. i did a lot of fun wig acting there. >> thank you for the behind the scenes. now we're going to look at that scene differently now. now you said you almost wrote this book, almost wrote this book a few times over the years. so why now? why now is the right time? >> well, i, you know, i thought i should probably write it down while i could still remember most of it but, you know, i think it took me a long time to come to terms with all that, that happened in my youth. those were a couple of three, four, five, six years that altered my life completely, and the w

investigation from both mcconnell and mccarthy, it comes as more and more republicans are questioning the very facts, the existence of january 6th. republican like congressman andrew clyde. >> if you did not know the event on january 6th, you would think it is a normal day of tourists. >> on the day of the incident, he was blocking the door of the chambers from what he called "tourist." here is clyde on the far left pressed up against the wall and appeared to be screaming as security guards pulling their guns as he now claims that people could be confused as tourists. this is incredible. did you think not anybody is going to see this video. the fbi releasing new videos and you can see trump supporters attacking police officers and throwing expletives at them. >> capitol police released statements reading, "we, members, expressing the disappointment with the recent comments from both chambers minority leaders expressing no need for action for january 6th." >> we have these new videos of police being attacked by trump supporters. mccarthy or mcconnell, i don't know, do they not care? >> it has been a rough couple of years for men and women in blue. the republican co

mccarthy, who could be subpoenaed by the commission over his conversations with donald trump, is aligningemocrar himself with the former president who called the commission ""a democrat trap." some republicans, like georgia congressman andrew clyde, are whitewashing the events of january 6 entirely. >> to call it an insurrection, in my opinion, is a bold-faced lie. >> reporter: but this picture shows clyde helping police barricade the doors of the house chamber as rioters tried to break in. and tonight, this letter is getting a lot of attention here on capitol hill. its author says it represents the views of 40-50 rank and file capitol police officers, and it is scathing, saying in part, "it is inconceivable that some members we protect would downplay the events of januaryhe members we protect would 6." it also blasts g.o.p. leadership for not supporting the 1/6 commission. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, kris van cleave, thank you. well, tonight there's new legal trouble for former president trump. new york's attorney general has now joined the criminal investigation of mr. trump's family business. cbs' jericka duncan has all the new details. >> reporter: donald trump's business empire and political future is in more jeop

mccarthy's not the only one who's deciding to forget how he felt on january 6. so is georgia congressman and man whose smile is clinically depressed, andrew clyde. last week, clyde said this about capitol rioters: >> watching the tv footage of those who entered the capitol and walked through statuary hall, showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes, taking videos and pictures. you know, if you didn't know the tv footage was a video from january the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. >> stephen: oky... but now a couple pictures on january 6 have surfaced. one shows the congressman barricading the door of the house chamber, and another shows his terrified reaction. but that could still be a picture of a tour guide. ( as panicked tour guide ) "the gift shop's that way! buy a magnet for your grandma! we're walking, and we're walking." nowhere have republicans held on to the big lie more fervently than the great state of arizona, where state senate republicans hired a firm called cyber ninjas to do a non-official audit of maricopa county. among other things, the cyber ninjas conducted

mccarthy and house whip steve scalise. oufor the republicans brand new chair of the republican conference. that's new york congresswoman elise stefanik and she will join us. the new cdc guidelines on masking. andrewmo wants new yorkers to wear their masks forever as does nancy pelosi. and bill de blasio has a big new vaccine plan that involves french fries. may be if he throws in a big gulp, he is onto something. joe biden screamed masks or vaccine into the camera. it's been an awful week for the biden presidency. this weeks caps disastrous democratic party rule. it's not going well. inflation through the roof. unemployment on the rise. gas shortages in over a dozen states and turmoil in the middle east. joe is clueless on what to do. in the months and years coming while the republican party has what is a new opportunity to change this trajectory for future generations. it's important. right now in the minority, the gop must fight tooth and nail. the first job is to stop the democrats huge massive, unprecedented power grab. court packing can't happen. ending the legislative filibuster must never happen. statehood puerto rico can't happen and hr1 has to be stopped. the unconstitutional legislation

mccarthy bathroom. with a civil war era sword on january 6 and voted no. then andrew clyde, remember him?barricade the doors of the house. helpful that day. but then later compared the events of day of the insurrection to a normal tourist visit and he too voted no on the establishment of a bipartisan nonpolitical commission. joining us now former republican congressman david jolly. i understand the political climate. i think you and i both do but i don't understand the security questions. why are they siding with the people that threatened them? >> i think what you are seeing from the rank and file members is a response to the fact that kevin mccarthy decided to whip this vote and bring down the party's infrastructure. every one of the members needs the fund raising arm and so to go against a key vote, a whipped vote by leadership would mean that their future in the congress is less tied to the purse strings of an mccarthy leadership team. it is the only thing that explains it unless there's a growing knowledge within the caucus that some members and perhaps mccarthy himself have unclean

mccarthy can listen to what he experienced. >> tell us what we should know about mr. andrew clyde.ho's standing by his comments yesterday that footage of the insurrection looks like any other day of tourists at the capitol. >> it's just false. i don't know what other tours andrew clyde has been at the capitol. i was a tour guide as an intern. they're not bloody and violent. they don't include weapons or beatings and spitding on police officers or terrorizing members of congress. it is just to feed this big lie and to deny what happened. i want to point out paul gosart said that ashley babbitt was executed. she was leading the mob that was about to storm the house floor and she was shot by a brave officer who was the last line of defense for many members of congress and the slowest, least mobile members having the hardest time getting out. if they were overrun by that mob people would have been killed so to call that officer an executioner dehumanizes and delegitimatizes the role and endangers other officers. >> what do you think it says about kevin mccarthy that he saw -- i saw tho

mccarthy. leigh ann, jonathan, carlos, thank you very much for that discussion. >>> we want to turn to the other story that we are covering this hour, the funeral of andrew brown, junior. reverend al sharpton is delivering the eulogy. let's listen. >> andrew brown, junior, if he did wrong, bring him to court. but you don't have the right to bring him to his funeral. and these young people that have marched in the streets, white and black, are standing up doing what you should do, and that is seeking justice and fairness. you don't have to qualify to be created just. later on in that same chapter, jesus looked at his disciples and he said, who do they say i am? they told him what the people said. he looked at them that had went with him, he said, would do you say i am? i come to elizabeth city today to ask each one of you, who are you? are you on the side of justice, or are you on the side of those that play the shell game? are you on the side that stands up for the andrew browns, or are you on the side of those that say, well, this is going to keep happening? who do you say you are to yourself? i don't know who you are. but i know who i am. that's why i got up

everyone mccarthy works with, because today, congress also held hearings on the capitol riot, and house republicans went bat guano crazy. take georgia congressman and star of "ernest goes to the gap," andrew. clyde, who was in the room on january 6 as the mob attacked, claimed the whole thing looked harmless from a distance. >> watching the tv footage of those who entered the capitol and walked through statuary hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes, taking videos and pictures. you know, if you didn't know the tv footage was a video from january the 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. >> stephen: you know, if that tv footage wasn't of a member of congress, you'd actualy think clyde was the unwanted child of his mother and a fresh turd. what the hell kind of vacations do you go on, clyde? when i go to disney, i rarely see mickey getting bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher. then clyde told america the thing we saw wasn't the thing we saw. >> this is the truth: there was an undisciplined mob. there were some rioters and some who committed acts of vandalism, but let me be clear, there was no insurrection. >> stephen: that is

mccarthy says he opposes the bipartisan deal, siding with those republicans downplaying the attack. also israel continues to pound gaza with more air strikes, no cease fire in sight. lawyers for the family of andrewice was justified is, quote, a slap in the face. all that coming up. first, let's go straight to capitol hill. ryan nobles is joining us. the minority leader kevin

mccarthy says he opposes the bipartisan deal, siding with those republicans downplaying the attack. also israel continues to pound gaza with more air strikes, no cease fire in sight. lawyers for the family of andrew brown jr. now say the district attorney's determination that brown's fatal shooting by police was justified is, quote, a slap in the face. all that coming up. first, let's go straight to capitol hill. ryan nobles is joining us. the minority leader kevin mccarthy making it abundantly clear he has absolutely no interest in creating this january 6th commission of inquiry. >> reporter: that's right, at least under these conditions negotiated by republicans and democrats in the homeland security committee. a new development tonight. steve scalise, the second most powerful house republican, initially told members he was not going to whip this bill, that they could vote according to their own conscience. but he sent out an e-mail with a long list of problems the republican leadership has with this commission, recommending they vote no. the plans for a commission to investigate the january 6th capitol insurrection have hit a serious roadblock. in a statement rejecting the bipartisan deal, hou
