joining us right now is missouri congressman, jason smith.rman, thank you for being here. why don't we start on the bill itself and the problems that it is trying to address. big issues here, concerning depreciation for businesses and the child tax credit. those are big, big issues that without some sort of legislation, i think we'll be be pretty troubled. >>you know, this bill has pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-american tax policies that support families and small businesses and it sharpens our competitive edge with china, and it boosts innovation right here in the united states. there's three very important business provisions that have been expired from trump's tax cuts of 2017. one is research and development. that allows immediate expensing. if we pass this provision, it will help invest more than $70 billion into the economy, affecting $21 million jobs. when you look at the 100% expensing provision, it started to phase out. it was 80% last year, it's 60% this year. it will go to 40% next year. we're making it at 100% once again, that will

let's talk jason smith. let me ask you and we'll get an update on what the ways and means committee. i want to get your on the contempt of congress and whether or not you think that the same laws that were applied to steve bannon and peter navarro will be applied to hunter biden. i that showing up yesterday during the middle of this proceeding. but they just they just they have to have a feeling of confidence that they're not going to be held to the same standard. i don't have any confidence that they're going to be held to the same standard. but as we look at that, that to the two tiered system of justice, my question to you is, why shouldn't hunter be that be treated the same way as bannon and navarro? >> shawn hunter should be treated exactly the same. >> whenever steve bannon was held in contempt within 22 days, that justice department brought charges against steve bannon. >> when hunter biden is held in contempt, let's if the next 22 days his father's justice department holds him and content. >> it is a

forward by democratic senator ron wyden, chair of the senate finance committee, and republican jason smith chair of the house ways and means committee. but it's not clear if the measure can garner enough support to pass. some democrats say the child tax credit does not go far enough and are pushing for the same deal as during the pandemic-era american rescue plan. the center on budget and policy priorities forecasts the plan would lift some 400,000 children out of poverty in its first year. meanwhile, president biden is expected to meet with congressional leaders at the white house today amid deadlocked talks over his request for $100 billion in supplemental funding for ukraine and israel's military, and taiwan, which republicans have insisted be tied to further militarizing the u.s. southern -- u.s.-mexico border. the u.n.'s human rights office is calling on alabama to halt its first planned execution of a prisoner using nitrogen gas asphyxiation later this month. >> we have serious concerns smith's execution under these circumstances could breach torture and degrading treatment or punish

i looked over at representative jason smith, sitting in the front row. jason had been one of the members arguing in favor of the objections. the c-span cameras captured me and i pointed at him and said, "you did this." i was angry. "you did this." congressman jamie raskin looking down at his phone said, quote, liz, there's a confederate flag flying inside the u.s. capitol. i couldn't believe it. that hadn't happened even during the civil war. my god, jamie, what have they done? the unmistakable sound of rioters pounding on the doors outside the chamber was getting louder and louder. inside, capitol police were slamming doors shut and locking them. we were being locked in. jim jordan approached me. quote, we need to get the lies off the aisle, he said, and put out his hand. i couldn't believe what i was hearing. really? he and his co-conspirators in the white house and congress had provoked this attack on the heart of american democracy, and now he thought i needed or wanted his help? i swatted his hand away. get away from me. you effing did this. as jim s

the investigators, the lead investigators of the impeachment inquiry, jim jordan, james comer, jason smith are moving ahead with this. i think that's going to elevate the impeachment inquiry and take the next step here and hopefully i think they want to see more evidence come out in terms of, you know, what's going on with these alleged foreign business dealings, but i want to also mention that on top of that house republicans are also going to grapple with another impeachment into alejandro mayorkas as we reported last week, so that's going to be two impeachments in addition to the critical funding deadlines. >> thank you very much. good to see you. >>> we're getting a look at just released video from inside the capitol during the january 6th attacks, the video is released by the justice department, shows rioters shouting through broken glass at two republican lawmakers while law enforcement is pointing guns at them. >> we're trying to get in. we got the glass broken. these are all your patriots. this is our house. our house. >> our house. >> how do you handle this? >> open the door, brot

now congressman jason smith is threatening to take away the tax-exempt status of harvard, mit, upn, cornellhem where it hurts and the wallet. your last answer was intriguing to me because beyond helping jewish students, won't your suit strike at the heart of what you just mentioned, dei, wokeness, gender inclusivity that has taken over higher education, i.e., shabbos, discrimination of all kinds? >> sure. i think this lawsuit is an important victory for anyone who's been on the receiving end of bigotry and discrimination. as i said, yes, it is a lawsuit filed by jewish students, but it is not a lawsuit just forced jewish students but anyone that feels harvard has not taken concerns of discrimination, hatred, bigotry of gnomic to get tree. whether you are just an american citizen, read the lawsuit. it is online and you will be outraged by allegation after allegation. instance after instance of harvard either covering up anti-semitism, promoting anti-semitism are not protecting jewish students. as i said, this is not something i wanted to do. i wanted to be a regular student. when i got accep

there were two prime negotiators, jason smith on the house side, republican, and ron white of the senateee. they say they are ready to go. my sources say the house committee could pass this as soon as friday. even there are some who have questions about this deal, right now it feels like it is moving along. it would be a big bipartisan accomplishment. amna: lisa desjardins, thank you so much. lisa: you're welcome. ♪ geoff: in the day's other headines, a new winter storm iced over much of the pacific northwest. parts of washington state and oregon were coated with snow and up to an inch of ice. it closed government offices, grounded flights and cut power. snow even extended into northern alabama, and bitter cold again gripped the nation's mid-section. the move in maine to toss former president trump off the state 's primary ballot is now on hold. a judge today blocked maine's top elections official from barring mr. trump on the grounds that he engaged in insurrection. that's until the u.s. supreme court rules in a similar case in colorado. in her ruling, the judge said the pause "will pro

the $78 billion deal between chairman jason smith and chairman ron riden caps -- ron wyden caps monthsnomy and good politics for republicans? kim, what's in this deal, and is it, in fact, good policy? >> well, you talked about those business proif visions -- provisions. there's some that would extend bonus if depreciation, domestic r&d, also interest on debt. the problem, paul, is that i think a lot of those were things that businesses have already made decisions on. so i'm not sure you're going to get a lot of incentive for more investment out of those, not a lot of bang for the buck. but in return, republicans are are essentially agreeing to make this child tax credit $2,000 per child and also greatly increase its refundability meaning it will two to people who don't pay taxes at the moment and also dilute the work requirements necessary to get it. that's an incredibly expensive step. it's also the first step democrats want to a giant with even more turbo-charged child tax crept. and that's the concern -- credit. and that's the concern, that the policy on the business side is not tha
