it's not just the gop that's doing this and has in the past. who know about drawing lines. i think this is a sort of decade's long tradition in both parties. there's no question that now the gop has got more control of more states and is being much more aggressive on this front. >> which is kwhie you have an interesting conversation where republicans in washington who remember north carolina and pennsylvania thought they were going to benefit from it and lost because they were overambitious, trying to tell hungry republicans at the state level, temper ambitions. an old saying, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. another, when you get cute you end up in a lawsuit and lose it. another you have a bad election. instead of losing a couple seats, you lose four or five. the voices in washington are trying to tell the less experienced people at the state level, be greedy but not too greedy. >> i love that. what's the other expression, because they can? that's also what we're looking at. think about what they have to do to take back control of the house

is there still a place for cheney in the gop?s a place for her, because she wants to get to the truth of what happened january 6th. i think it's important we look at this, the role, and the responsibility that anyone had in the insurrection at the capitol. she's been quite clear on that. i think it's in the gop's interest to appoint people, select people to join in this investigation or commission that pelosi is putting together. i don't expect it to be marjorie taylor greene or matt gaetz, i see people along the lines of elise stefanik and possibly jim jordan. they would toe the party line, in essence, that they have gone along for the last couple months in sowing doubt in the outcome of the election and certainly take the party line, or in terms of how they want to frame the january 6th insurrection, they would do that well. and i think it's important to help and be assistance in this panel. but at the same time, mccarthy and the rest of the gop needs to put the focus and attention on taking it to the democrats and joe biden fo

house speaker nancy pelosi has rejected 2 of the republicans picked by house gop leader kevin mccarthy to sit on a committee investigating the january 6 riot at the u.s. capitol. now in response, the house gop leader has now pulled all of his picks for that committee washing correspondent reshad hudson joins us live from dc with the details. good morning. was shot. >> good morning. democrats say this committee will move forward with their investigation with or without republicans taking part. but this is all unfolding as they're set to hold their first hearing in just a few days. 6 months after the violent attack on the u.s. capitol lawmakers are sparring over the committee charged with investigating it. >> house speaker nancy pelosi rejected to republicans. ohio congressman jim jordan an indiana congressman jim banks who are picked, but house gop leader kevin mccarthy to sit on the committee pelosi citing past statements made by the 2. so egregious abuse of power mccarthy slammed the speaker's decision and pulled all 5 of us picks from participating in the committee. >> this represent

the crisis at the border that gop-led states are getting people back to work and the unemployment rateepublicans can do in terms of making sure that we have elections run by the states and not the democrat efforts to federalize the election. so these are things -- >> trump is going to step on those messages. >> rational republicans need to further those messages and not get distracted with this grunge that trump is doing. >> after the insurrection for a brief moment, gop leadership moved on from trump. but now they seem ready to put him front and center for the campaign coming up in 2022. i saw this during his border visit in texas. it was just sort of odd to see they're all still glomming onto him. what is going on? >> you know, i think they've chosen to put all their steaks and all their eggs in the basket of trump. worship at the altar of trump. you know, it's so hypocritical and so unseemly and unstatesman like. i was really trying not to have my eyes roll to the back of my head as i read posts from some of these same gop elected officials who voted against the bipartisan commissio

gop deniers don't care about bipartisanship at all. if they did, they would have voted for that independent bipartisan commission last month. see that commission had the name in it, bipartisan. but they didn't vote for that. republican sources telling cnn they were embarrassed that some of the police officers who risk their lives defending the capital were there to see their coward cowa cowardice today. one them said he's shocked but not surprised that 190 republicans voted no today. he'll be here tonight and you'll want to know what he says. you'll want to hear it, so he'll be here. we have a jam-packed two hours for you on all of this news, the breaking news on all of these subjects. >>> so let's get straight to the bill cosby release from prison today. joining me now, two of cosby's accuser, joan and their attorney. thank you all for being here. i appreciate it. hi, joanie, how are you? >> hi, donny, i'm fine. how are you? >> full transparency, joanie and i have become friends over the years and i'm happy to have her here to discuss

gop negotiators who are again still ironing out those final details have sig know that they will likely be ready to move forward as early as monday, and then notably, locally, three bay area mayors, san francisco, oakland, and san jose, penned an op-ed this week in support of that bipartisan plan, noting that investments in transportation, climate protections, and broadband would especially be impactful to the region. >> no doubts. we've been talking about those issues for quite some time now. thank you, natalie. >>> still ahead on kpix 5 and streaming on cbsn bay area, the niners taking care of some final off-season business by locking in a star linebacker. details on the record deal. >>> plus, no shame, the brazen car break-ins in oakland. >>> and back out to breaking news out of antioch as we look live, new information coming in, that grass fire that jumped to an apartment building damaged four units. the fire has been brought under control. no i team usa is ready for the olympic games, and so is erica! she's got the fastest internet, with wifi speeds faster than a gig. so when all o

and accompanied the gop lawmakers.ary 6th he entered the capitol, chanted heave ho along with others and this is our house. we should note that aguerrero has not been charged and the fbi has declined to comment on whether it's investigating him. but now he's traveling around with u.s. lawmakers? we still don't know much in terms of lawmakers in terms of who will make it to investigate the attack. house gop leader kevin mccarthy can fill five seats on the panel. he wouldn't say yesterday whether he will. two gop sources tell cnn they think he will not. as i see it he has three options, pick no one at all, pick someone who opposed certifying biden's win, plenty of those, 139 house republicans voted to overturn the election or a third option, pick a republican who didn't help push the big lie. but that would be going against most of his own party. speaker pelosi won't say if she would veto any of mccarthy's picks. let's find out what ron brownstein and charlie dent foresee. gentlemen, i want some game theory here. charlie

is it just more obstructionism from the gop?earer about that. not only is this a matter of not allocating new spending, it is a matter of spending -- it is a matter of meeting the spending obligations that congress has already agreed upon, that democrats and republicans have signed bills that spend public resources that take us above this debt limit. so they have to raise it in order to meet their own spending obligations that they've agreed to. this debt limit has been raised or suspended 80 times, including three times in a bipartisan manner as jen said under the trump administration. so, yes, that's nothing but obstructionism in an area where congress should come together because they've already obligated these funds. the analogy i like to use, alex, it is as if congress is sitting at a table, they finish their meal. now, maybe they're putting some stuff in doggy bags to take home, that's the outlays that haven't been spent out yet in this somewhat tortured analogy, and they get the check and say, "no thanks." that's what the
