and john heilemann is here host and executive producer of showtime's "the circus". welcome all. congresswoman, i start with you. your reaction to the developments and the message that the 1/6 committee has sent? >> well, i think this is great developments. i think it's show that this committee is serious about utilizing the powers that congress has to get to the bottom of what happened on september -- january 6th. and to ensure that it doesn't happen again. whether that is through depositions, through hearings, through subpoenas, sifting through the millions of pieces of evidence that are available, whether that's from social media, the justice department, or the white house itself. >> congresswoman, do you understand what bannon is even trying to exert? i mean there is no privilege for an expresident. there is even less for an expresident's aide who was fired in 2017. what is he trying to argue? >> i think what he is trying to do is to delay. and he's trying to show that he's being loyal to donald trump. that's about all. because there is absolutely no legal basis for him being

john heilemann, the impact of the colin powell endorsement in that presidential campaign felt so important string of fascinating endorsements, in which people like ted kennedy in a similar dynamic to the polo endorsement were turning in effect against people they've been with for a longer period of time, been alive with for a longer period of time. -- like intended katie's case, it with hillary clinton, turning against her -- you saw colin powell turn against his 25-year-old friend, john mccain, to endorse barack obama. the >> right, and i think lawrence, importantly because they thought in both cases that they were moving towards a brand of politics, and obama, that was more optimistic more idealistic, if not totally pure. something more noble. when ted kennedy turned against the clinton, it was specifically because of what he's seen both clinton do in that race, do it nevada, do in south carolina, ted kennedy was disgusted by bill clinton's race baiting in the race. and what pushed him in the arms of obama was a rejection of that kind of politics. similarly with colin powell, powell had

. >> john heilemann, we are seeing a power exercised by the progressive side of the house.we've never seen before. it is an enormous amount of power. but, it is a form of power that we also haven't seen. which is, they only have the power to kill things that they want. they are in favor of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. they have the power to kill it. the power that joe manchin, and the power that sinema have is the power to kill things that they don't want. and that is historically the way negative power, the way the power of no has always been used to kill something that you actually don't want today. today the power no was used to at least stop for now for this week. something that the progressives do want, which is the infrastructure bill. >> well, not just something the progressive wants, lawrence something that the president desperately want, and nancy pelosi wanted, twice now. it's been twice, there was a deadline, a little over a month ago. nancy pelosi, joe biden pushed hard and then had to back down in the face of this dynamic. progressives not happy because

john heilemann, you're in texas.ation, but first, your thoughts on nikki haley's comments? >> hi, mika. good morning. my thoughts are, join the club. nikki haley. you know? i'm not sure anybody thought that this was, that nikki haley would end up any other place than where she currently is. that is, exhibited, in, there was a period of time people thought maybe she would signal a break from trumpism or be able to take's republican party back to a pre-trump era. that's clear for i think a couple years now that with her announcement she wouldn't run, if trump ran with her, various comments over the past year essentially where she's aligned herself with trump and made the decision as awe republicans have at this point, even though he's off the field, down in mar-a-lago, no power whatsoever. real power, to get anything done. donald trump remains the king of the republican party and everyone must kiss the ring and take a knee in front of donald trump. that's what you see. her prospects, i don't know. but she's in the main

john heilemann, you are either in texas or recently back from texas where a lot of this, i don't knows going on in texas? >> i believe the word you are looking at is excrement. i think that is one that we can say on tv. >> except it starts with an s. yeah. >> i'm still in texas, i'm here all week. we're doing a episode on exactly this question for the circus on sunday night just looking at how the texas republican party is racing as far to the right as any state party in the country. obviously a hugely important state party because texas is so big. you talk about it all the time on the abortion bill and everything else. and on the voting rights stuff, what has happened is that texas has become a one party state even though we've talked for 20 years about how texas might go blue, the one party monopoly here has become so dominant and in a way so corrupt because of the way monopolies tend to corrupt that you see a state legislature here and lieutenant governor and governor who see the demographic changes coming in the state and understand that in some near, medium, who knows what term t

. >> and richard haas, john heilemann and the recount just put a quote.powell. we trusted him as soldiers, but the families trusted him just as much. that really is the seal of approval to show that even the families of those sent into combat with this man trusted him, trusted him to do the right thing, trusted him to protect this country. and trusted him to never take unnecessary risks with their family members. >> again for colin powell, war wasn't an abstraction. it involved soldiers who are people and had families. for him it was very real. it reinforced his sense of joe, you mentioned a second ago the powell doctrine and the pottery barn rule. what's interesting to me is what they have in common. it's the way they connect. the powell doctrine says if you're going to use force, use it for things military force is meant to do, destroy things. big, not small, but be careful for using it for symbolic reasons. to threaten. what happens next, you own it. in both of the cases, powell was thinking about what happens after and the day after and the day after
