joining us now, democratic congresswoman pramila jayapal of washington. chair of the congressional progressive caucus. thank you so much for joining us. do you believe these charges that we're learning the january 6 select committee is considering asking the justice department to pursue, do you believe they go far enough in your view and do you think that the justice department will actually move forward with these charges and eventually be able to prove them? >> wolf, it is good to see you. i think the january 6 committee has done a thorough job and the charges that they will ultimately refer in the report will be charged that they feel they really have the evidence to back up. i think that what they're looking at, you know, and there are a couple of different options here, obviously obstruction, conspiracy to defraud the government, these are things that are critically important and think what the committee has been focused on is really targeting the ringleaders and major actors who have so far escaped prosecution. and need to be held accountable if we

host: an interview on msnbc last week, democrat problem jayapal --pramla jayapal.e're talking about the authorizing bill for defense spending in 2023. asking you if you think the number is too much, too little, about right. we want to hear from current and former members of the military. bob in florida, you are next. caller: good morning, sir. i am retired military, and i think it is too little. i think it need be 10%. and the pay raises are wrong. they ought to give more to the junior people than the senior people. some of the junior people do not make enough money, and that is a shame. the recruiting is low because it is woke. i went in in 1964 and got out in 1991, and it is hard for me to go out until young people to get into the military because the way they are treating them. you hear that congressperson sing military this, military that, we should give more. i think we should go back to the draft and make all the people go in. it is unfair for only 1% or 2% of the people in the u.s. to go serve and get treated like we do. i thank god that people who come back

jayapal, is recognized for three minutes. ms. jayapal: thank you. i rise in strong support of the veteran service recognition act, to stop the deportation of immigrant veterans. and i want to thank my colleague, mark takano, representative takano, for bringing this important bill forward and our immigration subcommittee chair zoe lofgren for her tremendous leadership on this issue. mr. speaker, immigrants have defended the united states in every major conflict since the revolutionary war. one of the first casualties in the iraq war was lance corporal jose gutierrez, who was not an american citizen, when he died fighting for us. he signed up for the marines wanting to give back to the country that gave him everything. today, there are 45,000 immigrants serving in the united states armed services and yet, hundreds of immigrant veterans are estimated to have been deported. this, mr. speaker, is unacceptable. immigration and customs enforcement is supposed to consider veteran service to the country when making removal decisions. but a 2019 g.a.o. study

you have this unusual moment weeks ago when pramila jayapal, the chair of the congressional progressivethe caucus put out a letter from a number of progressive politicians calling for a negotiated settlement that awkwardly -- denmark wrigley retracted it. -- then awkwardly retracted it. why isn't the discussion immediate and congress, that range of discussion? instead, it is the far right republicans are raising questions about giving so much support to ukraine but antiwar progressives are not speaking out as much in congress? >> there's this ideological wall that seems to have developed. it is those who continue to cheer on zelenskyy and ukraine. on the other hand, you have the republicans, particularly the ultra right wing republicans, that are basically operating as agents for putin. so people have chosen sides, unfortunately. the sides they have chosen are not the side of peace, but the side of continued warfare and continued aggression. and when we sit and look at the money that is wasted on armaments that could be spent at home and could be spent on other kinds of endeavors that b

however, the leader in the progressive caucus, camilla jayapal, telling us in the last hour that she trusts sinema, she takes about a word. it's an interesting dynamic there as they try to keep sinema on their side of the bench. i want you to take a listen to what other cinema colleagues have said yesterday. watch. >> she's showing that she has an independent streak and how she operates. >> i don't think it's going to greatly change how the senate is working right now. >> we have every reason to expect that we will continue to work with her successfully. >> look, sinema has a 93% voting record with democrats, with the biden administration. of course, she did oppose a key piece of his agenda, including most notably, not wanting to change the senate filibuster rules. that's the 60 vote threshold to 50 votes, to pass meaningful legislation like voting rights, abortion protections, things that really angered democrats in the past. but of course, there are things -- that people who see this is purely political. sinema herself saying that arizona is electorate has changed. now there's more

i can tell, you, katie jayapal traveling and going around talking to voters.i've had young voters who actually protest. they are approaching us and showing me their sticker. look, i voted already. i think there is a sense of urgency, of clarity. just on friday night polling sites close to 7:00, the lines were so long that they were out there until 10:00. on the one, hand i think that is a catch-22. because on the one, hand yes, we are happy to see the. lives on the other, why are we seeing lines of people standing in line until 10:00 at night? because we need voting rights legislation. folks may recall that after warnock had been elected in this last special election, two years ago, there was a passenger espy 202, a law which has tremendously impacted. many of us call that the blueprint for certain voter suppression. the voter suppression is that people are responding, there is a result of voters. but we are still literally dealing with this variant that was set up by as p2 to around suppression. >> i want to see in this for a second, latosha. i think it is a
