jamie raskin: i'm sorry.about tommy? >> i just want to talk about everything you've been going through this week. >> well, our family -- suffered a terrible catastrophe on the last day of 2020. but my, you know, my dear boy is very, very close to our hearts now and on our minds. and we've been diluted with with emails and food and love and messages from around the world. and, in truth, i've been sleeping a lot since, since we've been without tommy. >> yeah. >> tommy had been fighting depression for several years. i mean, normally, he was the happiest, most ebullient energetic person you could ever hope to meet. but he was suffering from depression. it was serious. . the last night i got to spend with him we had dinner together, we played some boggle which was his big game and we watch some stuff on tv. and we talked about going for a hike the next day. you know, i game a hug night. told him i loved him. he told me he love me. and i was last time i saw him alive. >> how are you coping? >> well, tommy left us a

now is that glass half full, jamie raskin, or do you believe that to beja true? >> well, it's glass half full, but it's based on probably more than 90% of the people we've been interested in talking to. thosebe people come forward and voluntarily cooperated with the committee. and look,ed it's the whole basi of our legal and justice system, which is that if people have relevant evidence to investigation, they come forware and they testify about it. iwa mean our whole justice syst collapses if that doesn't take place. so if a crime takes place, either a major crime, like a coup or an insurrection, or other, any other kind of crime, a bank robbery, a street mugging anda if someone is a witness t it, they have the legal duty to come and toit testify. and if you think that your testimony could implicate you because you're not just a witness but you're a participant, you can invoke the fifth amendment privilege againsten self-incrimination. and our committee respects the constitution, including the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination. but those are re

jamie raskin is hoping that the legal force of the subpoenas to vote convince them to a comply.poenaed compliance of voluntary? last time i checked, i cannot ignore a subpoena that has been lawfully served. >> subpoena compliance is supposed to be mandatory in this country. that is because people respect the rule of law. it speaks volumes when you have legislators, elected officials, who will not comply with the subpoena. katie, i have been thinking about this hypothetical situation where there is a rash of that's going on in capitol hill. you have a committee investigating the steps in acting better laws and security measures to protect what is on the hill. in a situation, you would not have to subpoena congressman who were witnesses or had information. they would come in and help. it would be a red flag if they did not. this situation is no different except that in this case, the theft was the theft of democracy from the american people. it was an attempted theft. the fact that they will not come in and testify voluntarily, let alone under the compulsion of a subpoena, tells y

constitutional scholar, maryland congressman member of the house judiciary committee, congressman jamie raskin, was booked to be here tonight to talk about the january 6th investigation and other matters before congress, but congressman, i have to start tonight at least by talking to you about this breaking news. thanks very much for joining us. >> sure, i'm delighted to be with you, rachel. >> have you had a chance to look at mr. gerstein's reporting in "politico," or at all, at the ruling that has been published tonight from the court? >> yes, i just sped read the decision. i found it astonishing and appalling. the basic legal claim here is that the word abortion doesn't appear in the constitution, and of course, it doesn't appear in the constitution, but the supreme court in 1973 in roe v. wade hinged its reasoning on griswold versus connecticut, which was a 1965 decision by the supreme court, striking down a law banning birth control, even for married couples, in connecticut, and the supreme court said that the due process liberty clause includes the right to privacy over intimate decision

but jamie raskin won't do w that . none of them will. he's crazy about putin now. fifty seven republicans did vote against last night'san bill and god bless them for doing it. but many more voted for. of course, there was liz cheney and adam kinzinger, their friend elise stefanik, but there was also republican leadership, top leadership mccarthy and scalisi shameful. and the worst part is this bill will almost certainly pass in the senate, which is way more left wing even than the house r. on the republican side, chuck schumer is promising a swift vote on it that means as soon as tomorrow. so we reached out to everyth republican in a the senate to find out what they plan to do.em most of w didn't bother to replp none of them will come on the show. that would include mitch mcconnell, the minority leader ,ted cruz, mike lee, chuckro grassley. mitt romney also did not respond. we're hoping they'll vote the right way. but a handful of senators dididp respond and want to let you know where they stand. voting no will be mike braun, roger marshall, marsha blackburn, bill

revelations that have been alluded to by committee members, if they are as explosive as your colleague jamie raskin says they will be? will they have the potential to drive democratic turnout, similar to the drive to oust president trump two years ago? and if they are damning enough, does that sway republican voters in any substantial way? >> reverend al, i think we are going to see in june, when the eight hearings that are held by the january six collect -- select committee demonstrate to the world, the depth of the coordination and the disturbing determination from the top of the trump administration all the way down, through many, layers to keep him in office and overturn the results of a legitimate election, are not going to only show a contrast between joe biden and congressional democrats who helped literally, pull our economy out of a ditch. help me make sure we could be back the covid-19 pandemic, and that fought to make sure, through investments in infrastructure, that we can get america back on their feet. the contrast between the absolutely absent, empty, zero record agenda of the republ

>> well, i think jamie raskin has indicated, we're going to hear new information in june. not just around donald trump. it's also members of the united states congress sitting in power in this moment who were complicit if not party to crimes. a federal judge has already said donald trump likely committed crimes around january 6th. he had a lot of enablers and handlers and people who are still in that posture. i think the fact that the january 6th committee is looking to the rnc's internal dialogues around this is just putting more pieces of that puzzle together. we've got people in government that are fundamentally anti-democratic. it's not america's birthright to wake up in the morning and have a gleaming democracy functioning for us. when democrat fails, what goes with that are individual rights. your right to liberty and freedom as opposed to a very powerful government. that's what goes. and once that goes, it's not just democrats that lose, it's republicans, it's independents, it's every american. these hearings are probably -- i can't think of something at least in my

i was just talking to jamie raskin about this. they've been dodging this committee for months. they think it's illegitimate. if you're a gambling person, they're not going to be participating willingly. it's prudent to start thinking about what the next steps are for this committee. >> two legal things that come to mind as i hear you say that. number one, multiple federal courts have upheld the legitimacy of this committee. but also the doj has had the criminal contempt referral for mark meadows since what, january? and it hasn't been acted on. as both you and ali point out the timeline, that's the kind of delay we could be talking about here. go ahead. >> no, i was just going to say these are sitting members of congress, garrett. so you'd have to imagine that the justice department and the courts might take a heightened interest in this. or maybe not. maybe they don't want to weigh in on what's a legislative branch fight. it's just all -- we're in unchartered territory here. >> i can hear the voice of pete williams in my head pointing out that the justice department often does
