i serve on the appropriations committee, don. and i chair a subcommittee that funds our international efforts. 14 members out of the appropriations committee, 14 out of 26, voted to reject the certification of joe biden as president. they accepted the big lie. and so they in my perspective are co-conspirators. on january 6, they proved it by their vote, as congressman kildee mentioned. we have to figure out how to do this, because it's dangerous, first of all. of course you saw they did not wear masks, many of them, when we were in lockdown. you see what they have done since then. and so donald trump is the leader of this gang. and this was an attempted coup on january 6th. and the republicans, many of them, most of them, quite frankly, need to be held responsible. and believe you me, there is no reconciliation without truth. >> what do you think, congressman kildee, what if this had been -- let's just say the people in that crowd would have been black or muslim? what do you think republicans would be doing now? >> first of all,

the appropriations committee, which i chair, is looking into these efforts as well. >> and some of that will have to be determined in terms of a security thing, but some of this will become very relevant in nine days when the trial of donald trump begins. and people in that chamber -- this is so different. we were discussing earlier, they're not really jurors. they're different than jurors. but they're also the victims or potential victims of this. in the connecticut post on january 6th, the day of the attack, they were talking about you with jim heinz. you were huddled in a conference room at one point after you were taken out of the gallery. rioters broke the glass on windows and doors that led into the chamber. you heard a gunshot. you were told to hit the floor. the reality of the fact this was a potential attack on your lives -- and by the way, you probably thought it was at the time, but now evidence is there they were looking for nancy pelosi, looking for mike pence, they had enough ammunition to shoot every one of you in congress. how do we make sure that is not lost on the sena

and have it sent to the appropriate committees to begin movement. i will, in fact, countermand executive orders that the president initiated that are contrary to what i think is either his authority and/or even if it's his authority contrary to the issues of the united states. thirdly i will immediately move, though, to the most urgent need of asking the congress to give me the financial wherewithal to deal with the virus. to deal with the virus. to be able to move so that we have "operation warp speed" really working. warp speed got the vaccine to places that were delivered but did not get them from those vials into people's arms. and so, it is a gigantic logistical concern of how we do that. i'm committed to get 100 million shots in people's arms in the first 100 days. i'm committed to insisting that on all federal jurisdictions anyplace i have control of president everyone is mandated to wear a mask, international transportation and federal facilities. thirdly, i'm committed to moving as rapidly as possible to get the vaccine to teachers and the

and have the appropriate committees to begin movement. i will in fact counterman executive orders that the president has initiated that are contrary to what i think is either his authority and/or even if it's his authority, contrary to the united states on environmental issues and other things. thirdly, i will immediately move to the most urgent need of asking of congress to give me the financial wherewithal to deal with the virus, to deal with the virus. to be able to move so that we have operation warp speed really working. warp speed got the vaccine to places that were delivered, but did not get them from those viles into people's office. it's a gigantic logistical concern of how we do that. i'm committed to get 100 million shots in people's arms in the first 100 days. i'm committed to insisting that on all federal jurisdictions, anyplace i have control as president, everyone will be mandated to wear a mask in interstate transportation and federal facilities. thirdly, i'm committed to moving as rapidly as possible to get the vaccine to

. >> the right committee to do that being on appropriations with direct oversight as your previous guests said, the capitol police report to congress, so they have direct oversight of the senate and house sergeant at arms, who have direct oversight of the chief of the capitol police and those officers, so it really is right in their wheelhouse, if you will, from a supervisory standpoint. so they certainly will be able to make decisions regarding leadership, regarding funding, where that funding is directed and resourcing. >> shannon: okay, john, to you, "the washington post" editorial board is saying it's time for the cabinet to get together and it invoked the 25th amendment to take the president out with two weeks left in his turn. they say now that the stakes are viscerally clear, mr. mcconnell and every other republican, almost all of whom bear some blame for what occurred on wednesday, have been overwriting responsibility to the nation, stopping mr. trump and restoring faith in democracy, so they are calling on republican leaders but they are also in that same piece talking but the ca

congress 1st i will do i will introduce an immigration bill immediately and have a sent to the appropriate committees to be again moved i will in fact. countermand executive orders that the president has in fact initiated that are contrary to what i think is either his authority and or even if it's a started contrary to the interest united states on environmental issues and a whole range of other things and thirdly i will immediately move to the most urgent need of asking the congress to give me the financial wherewithal to deal with the virus to deal with the virus to be able to move so that we have operation warp speed really working. warp speed got the the the vaccine to places that were delivered but did not get them from those vials in the people's arms and so it is a gigantic logistical concern of how we do that i'm committed to get 100000000 shots in people's arms in the 1st 100 days i'm committed to insisting that all federal jurisdictions and a place i have control as president everyone would be mandated to wear a mask in an interstate transportation as well as federal facilities and thirdly

the intelligence but they didn't act upon it, as congresswoman rosa delores said, of the appropriations committeet upon that intelligence and then the coordination clearly wasn't there. there was no command in control. the rank and file didn't know what they were doing. you can't have the chief of the capitol police calling in a panic the day of saying we need a lot more people. that should have been taken care of. the speed of the decision, the decision-making power was taken out of the hands of the dc national guard general, general walker, which took more time to get approval from the army, yada yada yada, all these little pressure points. the capitol police denied any help for additional support. so there's all these little elements we've got to flesh out over the coming weeks. >> congressman, i have about 20 seconds left but i got to get this question in. you are considering running for senator rob portman's seat. do you have a timeline for when you will make that decision if you haven't already made it? >> no. very, very interested and very soon, i will say, there will be a decision that wi

i was testifying before the senate appropriations committee and lindsey graham. he was very supportive. so maybe when he returns to sanity, there will be a way to develop some kind of bipartisan aspects. i think it is very important to answer the main question that you ask is how do we let our friends and allies recognize that we aren't just into two or four-year segments segments in terms of our national security policy. on that it is based on what any national security policy is which is how to protect our people, our territory in a way of life are. that's what they are all trying to do. but how those are integrated wither each other. and we will find common purpose onbe a number of issues. because we can't afford to swing back and forth like this. because if we do the american people are the losers. >> doess that mean that you think the biden administration is going to for example attempt to rejoin an effect to restart the iran nuclear deal? would it be possible to do so? what does the u.s. need to do to restore credibility that it's word is good when it comes

the appropriations committee and the oversight committee have overarching responsibility. know to have truth that we can trust the system that we have here. and it is so sad. imagine like 10 days ago as i said, we really lost our innocence in this because we always prepared to protect and defend from all enemies, foreign but the constitution also says and domestic. now we have to protect ourselves from enemies domestic. how close within? >> sandra: nancy pelosi hitting on a range of issues talking about the raid on the capitol, riot on the capitol last week calling the man who breached the capitol wearing an auschwitz church a punk. calling for a review of capitol police on that riot. she says justice is called for. on inauguration security we must subject the entire complex. we are working on taking it to trial on the impeachment. she says moving another covid bill is a matter of complete urgency hitting on the news of the day. >> jon: she got emotional talking about the attack on the capitol and pointed that the impeachment came a week after that terrible day. >> sandra:

we both serve on the appropriations committee that has purview over the processes on capitol hill.re's a lot of questions to ask. without a doubt, first and foremost we need to make sure that the plans for january 20 are in place. so, we will move forward and ask those difficult questions. there will be plenty of time to have a deep dive and take a look at what transpired over the last 10 days. the president, you know, fomenting this. the planning and the lack of planning and execution to keep the building safe is difficult. those officers have a difficult job. there's no question about that. but clearly a lot of steps were missed and that's the unfortunate part that we will have to get to the bottom of. host: how or do you think that president trump will be held accountable for this? all options should be on the table. the president fomented this by encouraging those individuals to go to the hill and i think he bears a level of responsibility. there's no question about that. and 300 hours we will be passed in this president. but in the meantime whether it is the 25th amendment or

and have it sent to the appropriate committees to begin movement. will in fact countermand executive orders the president has in fact initiated that are contrary to what i think is either his authority and/or even if it's his authority contrary to the interests of the united states, on environmental issues and a range of other things. thirdly, i will immediately move for the most urgent need of asking the congress to give me the financial wherewithal to deal with the virus. to deal with the virus. to be able to move so that we have operation warp speed really working. warp speed got the vaccine to places that were delivered but did not get them from those vials into people's arms. so it is a gigantic logistical concern of how we do that. i'm committed to get 100 million shots in people's arms in the first 100 days. i'm committed to insisting that an all federal jurisdiction, any -- in all federal jurisdictions, any place i have control as president, everyone will be mandated to wear a mask and interstate transportation as well as federal facilities.
