these are shages made in this house of representatives. these are made right at the top by the president unilaterally destroying the opportunity for americans importing unskilled, unprepared labor an they say, one of the places we visited, chip, was a food bank right on the border. now, people will say, biden administration will say, these illegal foreign nationals, these illegal aliens don't avail themselves to the public largess. they don't get money from the american taxpayer. meanwhile, they immediately got rid of, they wanted to get rid of the public charge requirement. if they didn't care about it, why was it such a big deal? but also, so your tax dollars go to the food bank. they don't necessarily go directly to the illegal foreign national they go to the food and the food bank gives the money or the food to the illegal foreign nationals. they are taking away opportunity. they are taking away the labor that americans need for your first job. when your child gets out of high school and liking for the first job. when i was 13, i didn't

house in 2022. in other words, the people who believe in nothing are trying to accomplish nothing while they take their congressional salaries sitting on the republican side of the house of representatives. and the only driving force in their lives is to continue to sit on the republican side of the house of representatives. they do not have a single idea or proposal for making any of their constituents' lives better in any way. the other true statement in kevin mccarthy's letter is we have to seize the future. and he does mean seize. he does not mean win the old-fashioned way, by getting more votes than the other side and elections. the new republican voting suppression law in georgia allows the georgia legislature to seize the future, to seize an election and simply overrule the voters of georgia after an election. on wednesday, the same day that kevin mccarthy wants to vote liz cheney out of her leadership position, kevin mccarthy will be occupying a seat in the oval office in a meeting with president biden about his infrastructure bill. it is a bipartisan meeting with the top four congressional leaders. house speaker nancy pelosi, kevin mccarthy, chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell. n

and so republicans are going to try to win control of the house of representatives next year, not by attacking joe biden, but by trying to attack prominent individual members of the house. the trouble with that is that republicans in the house of representatives are in the middle of a battle amongst themselves that will not be resolved before the 2022 elections, and that is a battle over the truth. the truth of the last presidential election and the truth of what happened when a trump mob invaded the capitol on january 6th. congresswoman liz cheney wants the republican leader of the house of representatives kevin mccarthy to tell the are truth about january 6th and his phone calls to donald trump while kevin mccarthy was hiding from the mob in an undisclosed location. >> leader mccarthy has spoken to a number of people in large groups and small groups since the 6th about his exchanges with the president. he's spoken publicly on the house floor about his view of the president's responsibility. i think it's very important that, you know, he clearly has facts about that day that an inves

house of representatives.yoming congresswoman backed impeaching president trump over the capitol assault, and she denounced him this week for calling his election loss, "the big lie". as the g.o.p. infighting intensified, president biden weighed in at a white house event this afternoon. >> it seems as though the republican party is trying to identify what it stands for. and they're in the midst of significant, sort of a mini- revolution. i think the republicans are further away from trying to figure out who they are and what they stand for than i thought they would be at this point. >> woodruff: in his own statement, mr. trump called cheney a "warmongering fool." hendorsed one of his loyalists, elise stefanik of new york, to replace her in the house hierarchy. police in san francisco have arrested a suspect in the latest of a series of attacks on asian americans. two women, 65 and 85 years old, suffered stab wounds at a bus stop, tuesday evening. the alleged attacker was arrested several hours later. the u.s.

and science and governance, we have a responsibility to make sure that the house of representatives' chamber is not a petri dish because of the selfishness of some not to be vaccinated or to insist -- or to wear a -- because it requires us to wear a mask. i mean, we could come to a place where we say, if you don't want to wear a mask and you don't want to -- if you're not vaccinated, don't even come to the floor. we have facilities up above in the gallery where people can come to vote. we don't want to deter anybody's ability to exercise their constitutional duty. we have that responsibility as well. so we're trying to balance everybody being able to exercise his or her constitutional duties as well as protect the security of the staff and the other members. now, i know a lot of things. as speaker of the house, i know a lot of things. i know a lot about people's predispositions and the rest because they share them with me. and i have to make judgment based on what the vulnerability are of our members as well. but it's not a, shall we say, subjective decision. attending physician has s

some of his closest supporters remain very powerful and loud voices, particularly in the house of representativesof them, of course, is georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor green. for the first time republican leaders are actually speaking out about the remarks she made related to the holocaust and the mask mandates in the house of representatives. after five days of silence, republican leaders finally stepping up and condemning representative marjorie taylor green's comments comparing the holocaust to mask mandates. >> one of the frequent outbursts that are absolutely outrageous and reprehensible. >> reporter: on the house side, kevin mccarthy calling her comments appalling and saying the conference condemns this language. republican whip steve scalise saying he condemns these comparisons to the holocaust after repeated requests for comments from cnn, the leaders are finally responding, but also couching their criticism by attempting to accuse pelosi and democrats of not doing enough to call out anti-semitism. still, the delayed rebuke from gop leader slip causing an avalanche of criticism from

someone demanded he take his mask off inside the house of representatives. weeted that he had a mask on as he stepped off the floor yesterday. a staffer for georgia representative marjorie taylor greene reportedly yelled for him to take his mask off saying even the president said it's okay. he tweeted he told the staffer don't tell me what to do but in more explicit terms. house speaker pelosi has not lifted the mask mandate on the house floor citing it is not clear how many lawmakers have been fully vaccinated. >>> well, every day seems to bring a new sign of normalcy. prom is back. that's a big part of high school. damien is at notre dame high with a closer look at the final preparations. >> reporter: the prom will be held under strict covid protocols. just coming on to campus today, they took my temperature and i had to attest that i did not have any covid symptoms. >> it crosses in the front. >> reporter: you won't find a more excited pair of teenagers. >> i got mine from macy's. >> reporter: the high school friends are going to the program. >> i'm super

house of representatives have voted to remove fellow party member liz cheney from the leadership position the wyoming lawmaker was under pressure for her criticism of donald trump especially for her refusal to support his unfounded claims that the 2020 alexion. nym's who are out for us republican liz cheney and opposed to a vote to house republicans removed her from her post in just 15 minutes. great by today's i do not i think it is an indication of where the republican party is and i think that the party is in a place that we've got to bring it back from. the wyoming republican is a staunch conservative and go to a form of vice president dick cheney she was seen as a champion for the republican party when she took the leadership role in 2018 but she came under fire for criticizing former president's donald trump over his claims that he lost the u.s. presidential election ju-ju widespread fraud last november and for encouraging supporters to storm the capitol building on january 6th. cheney also joined house democrats and their peaching donald trump but trump has kept his influence over

of pennsylvania. they introduced house resolution 25, calling for the removal of those members from the house of representatives. they didn't bother telling you that they themselves objected to more states in 2016 than the republicans in 2020. canceled. let's cancel them. free speech has been canceled. if you want to protest and burn your city down, protest is great. violence and rioting is not accepted except when it is. but think you're going to the church in the same town? canceled. right to protest. you can riot, yes, but come to the capitol and address your grievances with your elected representatives, no. ladies and gentlemen, cancel culture is a synonym for fascism. and the sooner we recognize it, the better off we're going to be at dealing with it and the sooner we can get to it. with that, i yield back to my good friend from colorado. mr. buck: i thank the gentleman and thank the gentleman for not naming my home state as he was talking about the all-star game. thank you for that. i now recognize mr. tiffany for five minutes. and thank him for joining us in this special hour. mr. tiffany: the gentleman

people in congress, the house of representatives, it wasn't a small thing that happened on january 6, but like i said in the beginning i don't think it's fair to compare it to something as tragic as pearl harbor or 9/11. host: george, you are next. caller: i don't see how mitch mcconnell and these people can walk on both sides of the line within a few days. these people defecated, urinated in the capitol building, rubbed it on the walls. this was just a you know, some tourists coming along? my god, how could anybody with a sane mind call this thing just a simple thing. as far as the previous caller talking about pearl harbor, pearl harbor has nothing to do with it. host: so exactly why do you support the formation of this commission? caller: sir? host: why do you support the formation of the commission? caller: because, we need to get to the bottom of everything that happened. we know that there is plenty there. host: another supporter, this is ken in illinois. hello. ken, illinois, hello. one more time for ken in illinois. caller: yes, go ahead. good morning, pedro, good morning, c-s

the house of representatives is voting on a bipartisan commission to investigation the deadly january 6th insurrection at the capital. this was a commission that was agreed to and negotiated by republicans and democrats but now many republicans are lining up in opposition after republican leader kevin mccarthy who could be called as a witness before the committee and who helped spread the election lie that incited the insurrection after mccarthy announced he would not support the creation of the commission, and the house republican leadership is telling its members to vote no. the legislation is still expected to pass the democratic-controlled house and then the attention turns to the senate where the minority leader mitch mcconnell announced his opposition saying he fears democrats will control the hiring of staff which is an issue that could be addressed if one was trying to fix the agreement instead of kill it. in moments one republican congressman who is defying his party and planning to vet yes on the commission will join us live, but let's start this hour with cnn's manu raju on

whereas members of the house of representatives have a responsibility to send a message to the american people that we can trust the safety and efficacy of the available covid-19 vaccines. whereas the continued house mask mandate sends the erroneous message that the efficacy of the vaccines cannot be trusted. whereas the continued house mask mandate is not base odd then best available science and con trir to the latest c.d.c. guidance. and is not in line with the protocols in place in the united states senate and at the white house. and whereas the continued house mask mandate hinders the ability the house to properly and effectively conduct the people's business. now therefore be it resolved that the attending physician in consultation with a director for the centers for disease control and prevention should take timely action to provide updated mask-wearing guidance applicable to the hall of the house of representatives and committee meeting spaces for members and staff who are vaccinated against covid-19, consistent with the public guidance released by the c.d.c. on may 13, 2021. the

historically what happens, chris, the party outside of the white house typically picks up -- they only need, what, half a dozen seats in the house of representatives? so maybe when the midterm is over republicans are back in control of the house of representatives, and who is going to be standing there claiming all credit? donald trump. the only opportunity to dislodge him as the head of the republican party is if the gop gets shellacked in the midterm. that's so unlikely. >> when by all lights he should have had a second term. he brought the vaccine there. if he talked the right talk about the pandemic. he probably would have beaten biden. democrats were reluctantly in that camp. it meant nothing to his fate. he is the teflon don. but here is my question. what does it mean for conservatism if this continues -- if nativism replaces conservatism? what happens? >> well, they can splinter. the romney, the liz cheney, the adam kinsinger. there's only a handful of them but they're just going to have a piece of the gop. maybe it's enough to deny what's left of the republican party victory, but i doubt it. and here is something else i want to say. what i

translation: the mercedes of your dreams is closer than you think. >>> the top republican in the house of representatives is now opposing the creation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the deadly capitol insurrection the house is set to vote tomorrow on a bipartisan bill to form this commission after months of negotiations, but house minority leader kevin mccarthy is all of a sudden pushing to sink the deal remember he was there on january 6th. he famously phoned the then president and he called -- on fox news he called the insureckests un-american well, now leader mccarthy claims the commission would duplicate other investigations, and he's demanding a broader scope to the probe that goes beyond the capitol riot and includes alleged violence by anti-fascists and black lives matter protesters. under the bipartisan agreement republicans and democrats would have an equal number of appointees on the commission's panel. the commission would also have subpoena power is that one of the concerns of kevin mccarthy's >> it may be on the mind of kevin mccarthy, shep, but simply he may not be able to escape

and they're nervous, especially given the margins in the house of representatives that they may no longer control the house of representatives after 2022. that's part of why he needs to get some of these big ticket items done now. it's not going to be easy. we're dealing with a 50/50 senate. whether they go the reconciliation route, there seems to be some roadblocks there. it's clear biden has made it clear to the folks up here on capitol hill that he wants to go big. that's what we'll see in this package over the next couple of weeks. >> you're also covering the in-fighting in the republican party which president biden just called a mini revolution. >> yeah, you know, it's interesting to hear him describe it as such. i don't know if mini is the way to describe it. for the most part, it seems clear that donald trump owns the republican party. what we've seen happen here over the past, you know, two weeks demonstrates that at a great level. it was just a couple months ago where there were republicans, in fact, the majority of republicans in the house of representatives that were willing to

george floyd was a useful tool for the democratic party and the house of representatives. it's just amazing to me to hear all these people talk about one side of this equation. the guy from san clemente was right. you go on -- i'm an attorney, i've done a lot of criminal defense. i can tell you that criminals are criminals. they don't do what george floyd did the first time. he was a career criminal. he had been doing things forever. why doesn't the mainstream media, if you want to investigate, you want to do a 9/11 commission on january 6th, do a 9/11 commission review of all of these incidents. >> now, derek chauvin is a criminal convicted by a jury of his peers of multiple counts of murder. >> multiple counts of murder. and guess what? what happened before the jury got the case? maxine waters threatened the jury. the president threatened the jury. that's what happened. >> that's greg in pennsylvania. this is david in reno, nevada. good morning. >> good morning. how are you doing today? >> i'm doing well. >> excellent. hey, thanks for taking all these questions. i just --
