kevin mccarthy, paul goesse earth, andy biggs, mo brooks, tommy tuberville.committee? >> well, the committee could certainly try to subpoena some of these lawmakers, but, again, you know, we are getting into somewhat uncharted territory where a committee would actually regard a fellow lawmaker to be, as some of them have called, a material witness to what happened on january 6th. so, yes, certainly there's been some interest in calling people like kevin mccarthy, like jim jordan, both of whom spoke to the former president on january 6th. but whether or not they would actually come and testify is, of course, something else entirely. >> remains to be seen. nicholas wu, thank you so much for your insights. >>> a very good day to all of you from msnbc world headquarters here in new york. welcome to ""alex witt reports"." here is what is happening at 2:00 p.m. eastern, 11:00 a.m.

republican arizona congressman andy biggs is here to react. never let a crisis go to waste.open, congressman. and they want to talk about immigration reform? shouldn't that be after they secure the border? >> yeah, lawrence. that's exactly right. and when they talk about immigration, they are not talking about massive immigration reform per se. they are talking about amnesty. so they have the daca amnesty and then other forms of amnesty that will provide amnesty, basically for millions of people and what that does, that exacerbates the problem on the border because that becomes another draw factor incentive it come up here illegally. that's why it's ludicrous for them to each be talking about it while you have 190,000 people come across illegally in june that we apprehended. who knows how many we didn't apprehend. lawrence: it's interesting because you can see the photos of folks continue to pour. in record numbers. you see the polling as well. is he getting killed on law and order. he is also getting killed on immigration. what do you think the incentive is to not bubbling

andy biggs from arizona, republican, that veto of leader mccarthy's nominees is outrageous and a furtherxample of pelosi violating the historical norms of our body. from a congressman of illinois, the speaker made the right decision. this committee is on a quest for the truth and no party will stop it from getting there. senator lindsey graham, totally support mccarthy's decision not to allow pelosi to dictate which republicans are allowed to serve on the commission. cheri bustos, democrat, i was on the floor when the cattle being was breached. the american people are owed the facts about that day. speaker pelosi has brought us closer to the truth. republican line, reggie. caller: thanks for taking my call. i feel it was righteous yesterday, but -- what spokesman pelosi did. i thank god we have lien cheney on the committee. i hope that committee can go ahead and do their work. the woman republican from wyoming, one more republican or two more if she can. i hope the committee can get the truth and i hope americans can accept the truth and accept joe biden as the president and try to work
