for president trump potentially as a candidate, what would you say to your fellow congressman jamie raskinkin would issue that letter. he issued it late sunday night in conjunction with the white house. this is second time the white house has pulled a prank late at night. i don't even know who donald trump's attorneys are. he accused me of working with donald trump's attorneys, that is not true and jamie raskin owes me an apology. the purpose of the letter was to leak to the press i subpoenaed bank of america two weeks ago, he just threw in a bunch of other false accusations. it is disappointing jamie raskin would stoop to that level and that is one reason we don't take ranking members seriously in our quest to get to the truth of what the biden family was doing with our adversaries in china. >> bill: james comer, thank you for your time. it's rather incendiary, we'll see if you are on to something. again, five years investigating, nothing just yet. james comer, thank you for your time today. dana. >> dana: crowd of thousand migrants trying to force their way into the u.s. over the weekeps

guest: jamie raskin, who is the top democrat on the oversight committee, one of the panels that sent this letter to aplidin bragg, he called the letter from the chairman in abuse of power. a lot of democrats are saying this is just republicans trying to defend donald trump. they are voicing concerns about political violence without call for protests and the order to take our nation back. democrats are attacking republicans for how they are handling this, zeroing in on former president trump himself. nothing surprising from the democratic reaction but they are being outspoken and reacting to this. guest: you can see her and her colleagues worked at >> american history tv saturday is on c-span2 exploring the people and events that tell the american story. at 7:15 p.m. eastern, toward the cia museum at the langley headquarters. the museum was primarily created for cia employees as a resource for their ongoing work and is not open to the general public, with exhibits showing covert action tools from the trade, dating from the cold water 21st century terrorism. and at 8:00 p.m. eastern, m

jamie raskin the second impeachment manager has said to us several times if we had access to all thenformation that we gathered on the select committee beforeor the second impeachment he thinks thed outcome would have been different. that was focused essentially onll january 6. what his inactions during the right which were important to us and then to find there was a multipart plan over time and the second impeachment is not have access. >> there are several recommendations for indictment. >> the committee recommended the justice department evaluate with obstruction of the official proceeding which means there has to be evidence someone specifically intended to obstruct or the joint session being in official proceeding the second was a bridepi conspiracy that requires an agreement with otherspr to prevent government functions. and then things like seditious conspiracy that requires an intent for violence and that they evaluate and then there is a harder case for prosecutor to show a intended it to be violent but then and in the submission of the fake certificates according to be cer

maryland democrat jamie raskin, ranking -- saying quote, republicans letter to the district attorney,resents and astonishing -- to interfere in its ongoing criminal investigation. congressman ruben gallegoo of arizona -- i was struck by the unprecedented line in jamie raskin's -- what do you think about this letter that was sent to the da 's office? >> look, it's just a letter that shows the hypocrisy of the republican party right now. first off, they talk about local control. and now they're trying to take control away from a local da and the grand jury. by the rule of law -- they are trying to basically overturn the rule of law because they want to really -- to a former president who has legal -- and it really shows that in the long run, the basics of the republican party's power. and it's not about the continuity of the rule of law or democracy. something that goes back to january 6th -- as long as it is in the favor of the republican party. >> yeah. i was struck by this. i had missed this. there was sometimes reporting. that last month, trump's own lawyer wrote to the district att

. >> brooke: jamie raskin is dismissing james comer's move. broadly overwide subpoena suggest your interest in this investigation is not in pursuing defined facts or informing public legislation, but conducting dragnet of political opposition research on behalf of former president trump. they subpoenaed records and the records revealed quite notable developments that solidified the committee's understanding of several areas of concern and opened new areas of investigation of the biden schemes. raskin is trying to get ahead of new information about the biden family. ashley and todd. >> todd: thank you, that is politics of it all, for more on the business of it, bring in cheryl casone from fox business here with more. walk us through it. >> cheryl: i think jamie raskin is trying to get ahead of what is going to come out of the bank records, at least 10 years coming from bank of america. it is accounts, checking, it is rob walker and two other unnamed individuals in the investigation. it goes back to the laptop and that erupted the story and show

so, ben, is this subpoena too broad, that is what jamie raskin is saying. >> no, i don't think so. i think that you know this looking back saying if the theory of the case is that the minute that joe biden became the vice president of the united states, this was something his family was engaged in. and hunter in particular was the point person on. i think that you have to ask for this type of a broad-based dive into those things. there was none of this type of concernation from ja jaimjamie raskin. >> what is important we don't go down the same route we saw democrats engaged in with trying to find things to embarrass their political opponents, there are as james comer said some very significant security questions reall late related to relationship that hunter biden had and speak to the indictment in a bipartisan way of failure of our current government system to guard against corruption that we've seen where foreign entities are allowed come in and buy families up, by -- buy a number of different politicians up, it is that hunter is so blatant about them. kennedy: which is worse? w

it is ludicrous to listen to someone like jamie raskin say this is too broad of a net when obviouslynt to look under every different rock and pebble to find something to pin on donald trump during his tenure during the white house and stretching back decades earlier in terms of his financial activity. we have a very clear perspective from james comer and other republicans on this committee who want to have a good perspective on what was being sold. essentially was hunter biden engaged in a type of influence pedalling racket that would compromise his father potentially, other members of his family in pursuit of foreign dollars coming from america's adversaries. it is absolutely legitimate question or thing to ask for and i think when it comes to comer's staff and others on the committee, they will pour over what they get in terms of response from bank of america and find out more about the degree to which the biden family has potentially been compromised by their relationships with a lot of untorrid foreign partners overseas. >> harris: you raise that question about whether or not our

and, also the invitation to do the right thing democratic congressman, jamie raskin, always great totoday. >> thank you. >> when we come, back explosive new reporting about how senator, kristen sinema really actually feels about the democratic party she left behind. and what democrats are prepared to do about her. >> plus how did masterpieces of renaissance art lead to the firing of a school principal? the answer is, isn't it always, florida. we'll explain, coming up next. suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night? try vicks sinex for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. vicks sinex targets congestion at the source, relieving nasal congestion and sinus pressure by reducing swelling in the sinuses. try vicks sinex. known as a passionate artist. known for loving the outdoors. known for getting everyone together. no one wants to be known for cancer, but a treatment can be. keytruda is known to treat cancer. fda-approved for 16 types of cancer, including certain early-stage cancers. one of those cancers is triple-negative breast cancer. keytruda may be used with chemother

the joining me now are congressman bennie thompson and jamie raskin.an. i do want to start with you, mr. chairman. it is very distressing, i think, for americans who experienced the ip sur rex just watching it on tv to see it lied about. i can only imagine it's much more upsetting for the two of you who experienced it firsthand in the capitol, but i want to ask you, what do you think the potential damage and harm could be from misusing that footage the way that tucker carlson is doing? >> well, thank you, joy, for having me. first of all, it brings in the question the security of the capitol. tucker carlson is the only person i know who's trying to change what people have seen with their own eyes. you might not like it, but it happened. as you know, we have 44,000 hours of video from every nook and cranny in the capitol, and so what we show, actual product. we managed it, we made sure it was secure and so the process that the committee used is one that even tucker carlson shouldn't be able to misidentify or mischaracterize, but unfortunately he is. >>

joining us now is democratic congressman jamie raskin, ranking member of the house oversight committeeman raskin, thank you so much for being here, you are a scholar of the law, we've heard the phrase, investigate the investigators many times in the trump era, this feels different, is this even legal for jim jordan to ask alvin bragg to come before congress in the middle of an open investigation. >> let's start with us, we actually have jurisdictional authority over the department of justice, of and house judiciary committee but it's very well-established that even there are with the doj, where there is real jurisdictional oversight responsibility that we cannot intervene in an ongoing case. then you take it from the federal level to the state and local level, or we have no jurisdictional power over the investigator of impacciatore's and this is unheard of an outrageous it's clearly an attempt to elevate donald trump completely above the law, completely above the constitution and that's what's so scary about, this the gop is turned into a missy anette cult of personality. around one. g

elizabeth: so we have this also, house oversight, the ranking democrat member jamie raskin, heed had to say about you and the other house gop chairs requesting d.a. bragg testify. let's please get your reaction to this, watch. >> the department of justice will never turn over any information during a criminal investigation or prosecution. but we don't even have oversight jurisdiction over a state or local d.a.. nobody's ever heard of that before. that's not congress' role. we're federal, we're not state or local. so that's why it seems so radically improper, and i, you know, to me, it looks like a political stunt and political theater. elizabeth: what do you say, congressman? >> well, the political stunt and prettial theater is on -- political theater is on the part of mr. bragg. he doesn't have jurisdiction trying to prosecute a presidential candidate not to mention the former president of the united states over a federal campaign finance violation where, by the way, the statute of limitations ended four years ago. we believe his time would be better spent doing what these prosecuto

amy raskin's, the second impeachment manager, has said -- jamie raskin, the second impeachment manager, said if we had access to all the information we gathered on the select committee before the second impeachment, he thinks the outcome would have been different. that impeachment was focused on essentially what happened on january 6. the rhetoric of the president at the ellipse is in action during the riot, which were important to us, but we zoomed out from that and found there was i'm a -- a multipart plan over time to prevent the transfer of power. the second impeachment did not have access. >> it was more than one crime. there were several regimen nations for indictment. what were those? mr. heaphy: the committee ultimately recommended the justice department evaluate obstruction of an official proceeding, which essentially means there has to be evidence that someone specifically intended to obstruct, interfere or impede an official proceeding, the joint session being an official proceeding. the second was a broad conspiracy to obstruct the lawful function of government. that requir

meanwhile, house oversight ranking member jamie raskin fighter off a letter to comer blasting him forat subpoena calling it invasive and overbroad. he's also accusing comer of colluding with the former president, former president trump. comer is rejecting those accusations, so this battle goes on on capitol hill. elizabeth: thank you so much. joining us now, new york post columnist jon levine. jon, your reaction to that, because with here's the story, you know, jon, you've been reporting on this, so has new york post. the biden family uses off-balance sheet shells to cover their tracks. you can't cover where the money flows are going. now comer is going after the family friends, friends of the family, because it looks like they've buried those cash flows through their friends of the family. so that's where it looks like this is a broadening probe. what do you think? >> right. well, i mean, this is a huge win for the american people, that's the first thing aisle i'll say, and that's my first reaction to the news we have here. we know that the bank records, they've been after these bank

meanwhile jamie raskin blasting the subpoena saying it is invasive and overbroad and accusing him ofall right, ishna. >>> thank you, some students at stanford are scolding the dean. >> you invited me to speak here, i'm being heckled nonstop, and i'm asking for an administrator to step in -- >> your racism is showing. >> they write in one of the newspapers that the dean has no place at the school. but these student that's are pushing back appear to be few and far between. they claim the woke mob of students said the administrators dared apologize. and a former clerk to neil gorsuch, what is your take on this? >> this is a good thing for students, they want to shout him down and it is lead by an associate dean for diversity for inclusion? and she is the ring leader getting these cupcake students fired up, saying the most crude and obnoxious things. this dean should face a complaint with the california bar and they should face discipline with stanford, university. the dean should be fired. they should be disciplined. the most crude and obnoxious ones should be punished. their clients an

>> yeah, jamie raskin, the leading democrat on the oversight committee just said it was a complete abuse of the powers of a congressional committee to try and interfere with an ongoing investigation. there's a lot of long-standing practices on congress about what documents they can have and can't have, which witnesses they can call at certain times. it's been pretty well accepted doctrine lee on the hill that one going active investigations are not subject to the demands of congress, that those are off limits, and you have to wait until the investigation is closed. the democrats are pushing back against these republican demands that went out today. we'll have to see that goes to subpoenas or not. i expect could get there as long as donald trump and his allies keep calling for congress to act as a buffer for him in these investigations. >> joyce, last question to you before you run out of time, trump is facing possible charges from the da in fulton county, georgia. today, trump's lawyers try to quash the grand jury's report there. what's going on here? >> well, this is, i think, an effort

the latest revelations blow apart congressman jamie raskin's pathetic deflection that the house gop was trying to dig up old receipts and show both how vital the probe is to restore trust in government. i think that's a really interesting thing. if you're the house democrats or chuck schumer along the senate side looking at this going how do we hold the line when these revelations come forward and it's clear this was not just even hunter biden giving out the money but the chinese firm giving out the money directly to other biden members? >> that's the key here. it was sloppy for the biden family to do that. all i can think is when joe biden announced on october 21, 2015, he would not be seeking the presidency, and they believed that hillary clinton would be a two-term president, so some of the money started being disbursed in november of 2015 if you look at some of the articles. but these payments happened early in the trump administration. there was no hillary first or second term. they felt they could cash in on the vice president's time in washington at that .50 years or so. the ques

we're learning this written by a letter by democrat jamie raskin. >> comer has been pretty loud about biden's business associates. it covers 14 years of financial records. democrats are already slamming this subpoena saying it's overly broad, this is a fishing expedition, pointing out it's one of these is paying for his kid's dance lessons and not just related to hunter biden. >> congressman raskin saying we're learning about a decision by the oversight committee to stop investigation of foreign spending into trump-owned properties. >> this is essentially their way of calling out james comer saying he's a hypocrite. they had a settlement they reached with the trump team, the former firm handling trump's finances to hand over a bunch of documents. they're saying a trump attorney reaches out and saying republicans are in control now, the house is no longer receiving in these documents, you can stop production. comer was saying i wasn't the one who meddled in this. he hasn't shied away from the fact that he doesn't want anything to do with the trump investigation. >> okay. sara murray, t

. >>> jamie raskin is american democracy's spirit animal.s him on the house floor yesterday. i'm sorry we missed it. i think it was happening as we came on the air. i will find an excuse to play it every day. 1/6 isn't over by any stretch. the only reason we have any information about how maniacal the lies were is because the voting machines have more rights than american democracy it would appear. will there be more accountability, do you think, in the criminal justice system? >> well, we're all waiting on jack smith's investigation, but we know he's busy, right? we keep hearing about new subpoenas and new appeals that he's bringing to the chief judge in the district court in the district of columbia when the people he subpoenas refuse to testify. so he's pushing hard. i don't think we can really guess about what the indictments will look like or who they'll be against or, you know, the question everyone has, will trump be one of those who gets indicted. i think there will be indictments and charges. but, you know, the criminal tools are st

about learning about this subpoena through a letter of the ranking democrat on the committee, jamie raskinoad the subpoena. is it spends information from over 14 years. pointing out a cover of things far beyond business dealings with hunter biden. even skipping up things like how much one of these individuals paid for his child dance lessons. now, all of this comes as democrats are also taking aim at, camera centrally calling him a hypocrite. they're accusing calmer and house republicans as standing in the way of what was a long running democrat led investigation into donald trump. this was an investigation into what foreign governments were paying to stay at trump properties. democrats have said this was an effort for foreign governments to curry favor with the former administration. they had a settlement in place with trump's team, as of last, year for one of trump's financial organizations to provide documents to hostile mccarthy on the oversight committee. they say, the democrats that they recently learned that attorney for former president donald trump informed massaro that financial

january 6th himself maryland congressman jamie raskin, the guy was responsible for getting to the bottomt seeking missile for the truth, a lead investigator, and he got duped by a fake guru rapist. we reached tout his office, too. boy, did he have response for us which read in part it appears that my office was indeed snookered and scammed in 2021 by a religious con man claiming to be the supreme pontiff of hinduism. this is edge bare wassing especially for me as co-founder of the free thought and skeptic of religious. i hereby revoke extended to the con artist and apologize for the mistake. it will definitely never happen again. the cult leader even got justin trudeau. so far this is the biggest world leader snookered by the scam artist that "primetime" can gather. he didn't just endorse this phony, trudeau honoring fake nation with parade after parade after parade. he even celebrates c kailasa's hindu heritage month. you think trudeau could smoke out a fake hindu pontiff since he has established such cultural bonds with the country. politicians far and wide are itching so hard to be wo

we first learn of this subpoena from a letter jamie raskin his top democrat sent to comer and criticizedcans having this broad subpoena but given little notice. thus time they were only given just a couple hours before it was issued. and one other thing i'll add our source said after the subpoena was sent out bank of america actually began complying with the subpoena and has turned over a considerable number of documents to the committee. >> all right, continue to follow this story for us. thank you. >>> so former president trump will not testify in the manhattan grand jury case where prosecutors are finalizing their investigation into the hush money payments made to adult film star stormy daniels. >> but trump's former attorney and fixer michael cohen is under oath today. so, cara, what was he saying? we know the president's former attorney said he'll not be testifying and michael cohen different story. >> he's walking into his first appearance in the grand jury. this is the first time he's gone before the grand jury. and so that will be his testimony. he was at it center of this hush m

they're really concerned only for their supporters in jamie raskin's telling. these interviews will occur. i don't know if they'll take it so far as to issue subpoenas and set up a clash with the correctional facilities. the house republicans are just getting started here, and this is one of several fronts they're doing. it appears to do some re-investigating of january 6th. >> i mean, luke, it would be an error to presume that they can pull off what you just described. it would be an error to under estimate their capacity to put all of their energy there as well, but just if it doesn't go any farther than this, what raskin has identified is really interesting. i wonder if i can push this. are they concerned that they're being treated differently from the other inmates and, thus, have they sought information about the entire prison population or are they only concerned about the trump supporters who carried out the insur sfleks have you seen the document request and the records request? >> so far we only have seen this letter to mayor bowser, but it does seem,

something my colleague on the democrat side of the aisle of the oversight committee jamie raskin isn'tt shows a concerning pattern by the biden family members to get suspicious amounts of money from adversaries around the world. for forever, the reason the treasury was blocking us, the reason that other banks were blocking us from information is because the white house was saying it wasn't true, this is a witch hunt, the republicans are just digging. now we have evidence, i think our quest to receive information is going to be much easier moving forward. maria: tell me about this wire. according to these bank documents that you've already obtained, rob walker, a biden family business associate and his company, robinson walker, received a $3 million wire from a chinese energy company two months after joe biden left the vice presidency. then what happened? >> well, the very next day he started sending wires to members of the biden family. and there are three members of the biden family who received payments from the robinson walker account. you now, the question i have ist were those pay

is it just jamie raskin or others? >> i think it's the entire team.lock has been -- to be honest every president tries it when there's two years left and, you know, under president trump you saw some very quick action, you saw the courts working incredibly quickly. well, under republicans historically we can wait two years just to get a decision on a contempt. so this is one of the things that james comer and jim jordan are dealing with, is they have to move quickly because if we go all the way to the courts we can't expect the courts to give us the speedy results that they gave the democrats against president trump. liz: you know, it's also tangled web of off balance sheets, companies and bank accounts losing money in and out. also foreign lobbying violations that the laptop emails and texts confirmed or rather purposely using companies to register as foreign lobbyists. >> well, this is one of the laws that is least obeyed but selectively prosecuted and it's infuriating that one person will be prosecuted for failure to register as a foreign lobbyist

but democrats like maryland congressman jamie raskin say gun owners and sellers, no one advertise the use of stabilizing braces to make pistols more accurate and more dangerous while remaining easy to conceal. >> owners to turn their weapons into a short-barreled rifles aficion weapons of war without triggering traditional atf oversight. >> republican lawmakers say the rule could turn americans who already own the device into criminals overnight. but that would only happen if the owner fails to register it before may 31st. america's top military branches are addressing a new battle that they're facing a historic decline in military recruits this month. the air force projects it's on track to miss its 2022. recruiting goal by 10% last year. the u.s. army set a goal of 60,000 recruits and fell short by 15,000. military leaders say they're struggling to get more americans interested in serving their country. >> best of times a strong economy and low national unemployment have always made military recruiting difficult. >> we all you to help boost recruitment. the biden administration is p

. >> this stems from a letter sent by jamie raskin who says he is a hypocrite.g an issue with here? >> when democrats controlled the house, they were investigating donald trump for payments foreign governments were making to his hotels to curry influence with the trump administration. as part of this, the house oversight committee reached a deal with trump's team for trump's accounting firm to hand over documents relateded to th last year. an attorney reached out to the accounting firm and said the house of representatives run by republicans is no longer interested in receiving the documents. essentially, you can stop turning them over. democrats are saying you are hypocrite. you only want to investigate joe biden and his family and not donald trump. comer is saying i didn't meddle in this issue. this is just about democrats wanting to get in front of my investigation. >> sarah murray, early for us in washington this morning. thank you, sarah. >>> more than 40 million people across the south are under freeze alerts. a powerful winter storm barrels towards the no

comer wants to know why the biden family was receiving money but house oversight ranking member jamie raskin is calling the subpoena invasive and overbroad. firing off a letter to comer accusing him of engaging in these efforts to prevent the production of evidence of former president trump's misconduct during his time in office. comer rejects that. >> i haven't spoken to donald trump since he left office. i don't even know who donald trump's attorneys are. >> now, bret, fox has reached out to hunter biden's attorney looking for a comment. we haven't received one yet. mean time chairman comer has also revealed the treasury department will now allow this committee to review those suspicious activity reports that were flagged by several banks in relation to hunter biden's business dealings. we'll get to that soon. bret? >> bret: we will follow it. aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. aishah, thanks. >> new questions tonight about safety in commercial lights to flights. a series of near collisions among commercial airplanes is prompting a safety summit tomorrow organized by the federal aviation

you know jamie raskin goes out of his way to say how dare you do this, such an overreach, to find out what they are ordering from starbucks and papa john's, it's really not. it's really bank records that lead to other stories, to a bigger story. what were you doing in china, what did you get in return, and is anyone actually working for the money they are getting, 1.2 million, up to the 2.1, the company is worth 2.1 billion in assets but they are getting paid 2.1. >> the statement from comer, the chairman of the committee on the payments to family members, important the money trail shows dates and amounts of money, march 1st, 2017, 2 mogs after joe biden left office, and wired to a company, and the next day money to a biden family associate. the biden family received approximately a million dollars in payments over three months in different accounts. received approximately one-third of the money obtained from the china wire. it names names with the exception of one unknown. >> big guy. >> sandra: -- biden family member. should be some focus on that, someone not named. >> a couple of t

seems like, you know, when you mention what's going on with the trump administration, you would -- jamie raskin is on to this as well, the congressman from maryland on the committee. he said why aren't we investigating the trump accounting firms? why don't you look into things like jared kushner getting $2 billion direction from the saudis after former president trump bragged about protecting the saudi prince? we just don't know. i think this is a thin veil for the fact that after all of this investigation and talk about hunter biden, the committee has come up with zero. with nothing. they got the laptop, they got this, that. they got nothing. >> martha: kellyanne, is that a fair question about jared kushner? >> well, jared, of course, is the only person i think who has benefitted in the billions with a b from the trump presidency for sure. look, i think what aboutism is at work here, martha and juan. for a very simple run. this happened while joe biden was still the vice president. the question remains, what does china think that they're getting from a sitting vice president who announced he's

what they're trying to do you, no look, that's where w find ourselves the democrats were led by jami raskin putting pointing t the truth of facts >> how much of this is par for the course for republicans, wh hold the house majority, and how much of it is attributable to chairman kilmer himself there are reports this wee that even top republicans ar growing frustrated with hi leadership, what do you make o that >> well look, they've no accomplish anything really, so far, and it's three months we've been in congress something tells me that' really because they can all ge on the same page and i think you see that probably months the chairman because we have so man committees trying to do so man investigations, and they all want to investigate the same thing the nick, or which i this hunter biden thing. so they're all fighting over jurisdiction, and i thin that's just par for the course but i will tell you between al of the committees, i did oversight which was supposed t be this tv, committee ha turned out to be something o like a real housewives episode i mean it just really belong on bravo,

those of us on the oversight committee are having conversations internally, our chairman jamie raskin is pushing back really hard. we have to work with our other friends on the, particularly on the justice committee, judiciary, and other areas we can pushback on all these witch hunts. we are going to ensure that the legal process makes its way to ensure that donald trump is held accountable. >> okay, california democrat robert garcia, really good to talk with. you thanks for joining, the other four to see you again soon. >> let's take you all back to the break, the news we just told you about, those deadly tornadoes in mississippi. joining me now, nbc's priscilla thompson in silver city. priscilla, show us what you're seeing it looks heartbreaking. >> alex, it is heartbreaking. especially as people are coming back to their homes this morning. and this is what they are seeing. we just saw both walk into that house there, you can see the entire back half of the roof, completely removed from that home. the home behind it also, the roof completely gone. so, that is the type of damage that

i was the ranking member on the civil rights committee on oversight with jamie raskin last year.d all care about the constitutional right of the citizens of this country. given that, the other thing pence said last night said it mocks decency to portray what happened on january 6th as tourists and sightseers and we saw that happen on fox news after kevin mccarthy gave them 40,000 hours of footage. you have said other people should have the footage. was it a mistake to only give it to one outlet for them to portray it as they did. >> i said early on last month that the release of the footage was important, and it should be released to every outlet including cnn, every media outlet, every defense attorney so that the public can see for itself and there was violence on that day. you cannot deny that, and you know, it was a dark day in our history, but so, too, was the summer of 2020. we saw very few arrests when there were attacks by an organization members of antifa and black lives matter. i had my house spray painted two summers ago and no one's been held to account for that, we h

he wrote on twitter that he was going, quote, on behalf of the house oversight committee member jamie raskinreggie taylor greene in the maga extremists tell lies about the insurrectionists and their attack on our democracy. congressman garcia joins me now. welcome, congressman. good to see you. what did you see, what did you hear, and what were those conditions like for those prisoners? >> first, i think the truth is that marjorie taylor greene is completely lying about the trip. obviously they had an intention of hitting the circuit, this is a serious issue, at the end of the day these are insurrectionists, people who attacked our capital to try to overturn an election. it caused real harm to people. there are police officers, dozens that have been seriously injured. we lost a life. and this idea that it was it was a complete lie and insurrection. we were there and we have the oversight committee and what we saw that were conditions that were fair. they have an open area to congregate. unable to be outside themselves most of the time. we saw 20 insurrectionists there that have access to tab

hard call on looking for comparability is, you have, to use the phrase that i'm stealing from jamie raskinsoldiers who did the bidding of donald trump. >> they've been prosecuted. >> the idea that they would get off, they re-prosecuted but he would get off seems anathema to the rule of law. >> and weissmann, thank you very much. be sure to tune in this sunday on 5 pm eastern when riverdale shire tons sits down with manhattan to alvin bragg. right here on msnbc. still ahead, president biden blasts republican proposal to get spending as democrats call an extreme on steroids. white house press secretary kareen jean pierre joins me on the state of these negotiations. next. s. next ♪♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪♪ (fisher investments) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different than other money managers. voltaren. the joy of movement.

freshman lawmaker of the oversight panel, jamie raskin who is the ranking member there, it's also onthe january six select committee. he has those two lawmakers to go. they were the only two lawmakers -- being held in the states ceta. there is in the ring how there is because the judge has denied a flight risk and risk to their communities. i want you to take a listen to a green had to say yesterday after the visit and what robert garcia, one of the freshman lawmakers actually told us last hour, watch. >> what we have to do is we have to work as hard as possible to defund the two tiered injustice system and we have to turn freedom and due process rights to be shied january six defendants. >> for the continue to lie and try to create -- it's really shameful. we know that the interruptions right now are in that general are being treated fairly. they have ipads, they haven't came out, they have access to the families, so i don't know why she continues to lie and i and i, i'm glad we are there to pushback on that. >> yeah, and garcia actually said that according to what he saw the januar

you had people like jamie raskin, the top democrat on the oversight committee going to bat for bragg. it's unclear. partly unclear because this is such unchartered territory. we have never been here before with an indicted president let alone with a house committee or a trio of house committees investigating the d.a. at that point and wanting him to come testify, telling him that he's not immune from a subpoena to appear for a deposition or hearing. so nobody quite knows where to take this right now on capitol hill. it's going to take a little time to let the salt settle. >> bret: all right, chad pergram live on the hill. we have not heard from the trump campaign as of yet. we have heard from the pac, make america great again. this is a statement saying this is not an indictment of a crime. there was no crime. instead, this is news of an indictment of a failed nation. president trump is promising to peacefully end the war in ukraine, dismantle the deep state and save our country but putting america first. for that, the political elites and power brokers have weaponized government to t

whol to high heaven.a th and it's ironic that that's what jamie raskin's my counterpart on the oversight committee led the impeachmentit of donald trump fothr a supposed quid pro quo t with ukraine. in whene everything thatt i am reg i'm researching, the quid joe biden holding upn holding up the foreign aid to ukraine fr during the obama administration. eignto ukraiurinin exchange forn of that special prosecutor who is investigating corruption within bruinsma. wthe company that the then vice president biden's son sat on the board. s nothin so there's nothing good here with the money. good wite just investigations of joe biden and we're following the money. we'vden,e got the first set of k records now. we're gettin g a look atnd the bank violations. there and remember, there are one hundred and fifty bank violations, at least f 13 different banks. then we're going 13 to continue to subpoena for more bank records as we identify new members of the biden family an who were inates on the schemes that allows us more opportunitiesscheme to g to investigate more money trailsat and there's noand

congress jamie raskin also went on a tear this week after his colleague, lauren boebert, used a warning of noxious republican variable tech favored by donald trump. >> the gentlelady was making a grammatical error that i heard some of her colleagues make before. i believe she referred to a democrat solution. i had another member talk about a democrat member and democrat plan. i just wanted to educate urged english colleagues. that democrat is the noun, when you use it is an adjective you say the democratic member. or the democratic solution. or the democratic plan. and so i assume it's a good faith grammatical error the first few times, but after people are corrected several times and they continue to say it, it seems like it's an active incivility. as if every time we mentioned the other party it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment like oh, the banana republican party, as if we were to say that every time we mentioned the ban banana republican member or the banana republican plan or the banana republican conference. but we wouldn't do that. >> you can kind of tell

we are allowing the executive branch to run but maryland democrat jamie raskin says the bill is a waste of time since basically they're scraping the bottom to try to figure out something to say about inflation. >> because the administration is actually bringing inflation down. there's also no agreement on a way to raise the debt limit. >> but senate majority leader chuck schumer says democrats have the right approach. you're going to see president biden's on the 9th. >> and we'll go from there. we believe in deficit reduction believe we can do that and still preserve the values for the middle class and those struggling to get to the middle class. house speaker kevin mccarthy met with president biden last month to discuss the steep spending cuts. republicans say are necessary before they will agree to a debt ceiling deal without a deal. the united states could default on its debt as early as this june. >> reporting in washington, i'm basil, john. >> and speaking of debt, there is a mountain of debt that's building up for millennials all in pursuit of the american dream. this is according
