ken is not just a strategist. he is an advocate, a leader, and he has proven time and again that he can win tough battles. under his leadership, our democratic party will be on the path to victory once again. thank you very much. >> my name is peggy flanagan, the lieutenant governor of minnesota and i am here to support ken martin. i have known ken my entire political life. he works hard. he is incredibly dedicated to building this party. because he did that in minnesota, we won paid medical and family leave, child tax credit that leads the nation, supported and protected access to reproductive rights and abortion, and let me tell you that this is the kind of work that we will see across the country with ken martin as our party chair. his personal commitment is as strong as his political commitment. he gave me my first job in politics. he was my first campaign manager in 2004. he sat by my mother's bedside as she was dying and held her hand. he is a good man and will be the best for our party. join me in welcoming

did you have a sense talking to them of why ken martin ultimately won?t was about his candidacy that was persuasive to the membership. >> they felt that ken martin was not was a national like could be a national party leader. not that ben wikler couldn't, but he has done great work in wisconsin. but the ken martin, he has led the state party chairs across the country. and he's somebody that has a vision. and they felt like he would be a fighter and really would understand, like be able to jump right in. and they liked what he had to say about in messaging. and he aligned a lot with martin o'malley, governor o'malley on that point. but it was very, very close. i will note very, very close. lastly, there are a lot of outside people who are not dnc members that endorsed in the race and they didn't pick ken martin, but notably the members, the people with their skin in the game. they chose ken martin. and i do think that that's an interesting dynamic going forward. and, you know, that's we're going to ask some other folks like governor kathy hochul. she know

>> so the thing i love about ken and having seen him at a couple of forums is ken is the guy that you want in a bar fight. ken is tough. he's aggressive. he's a union guy. he knows how to throw a punch. and i think the party was looking for someone that is actually going to want to fight donald trump and the maga republicans, and i think that's what ken was able to communicate. look, we actually had some great people. and i think the top two candidates were both actually like, fantastic, both progressive, both both good democrats. i think ken knows how to throw a punch and not wait around that. he knows that we've got to actually be on the offense. and so i'm i'm hopeful that that he takes that message across the country. we're going to need him. and i think all of us have got to be there to support him. >> all right. congressman robert garcia of california, congressman, great to have you on the show. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> coming up, brand. >> new details. >> on the investigation into the helicopter jet crash near washington, dc. that's coming up next. >> legal eagle.

joining us now from the justice department, nbc's ken dilanian. ken, good morning. what have you learned? >> good morning jose. in a memo to the workforce that went out last night, acting fbi director brian driscoll told them that he had been ordered by the justice department by acting deputy attorney general emil bove to turn over the names of all the fbi employees who worked on january 6th cases. you'll remember that previously, he turned over a list of employee identification numbers in response to a request from the justice department. and in a memo previously, the justice department declared that that was insubordination. so driscoll, who could be fired at any time he was installed by the trump administration, really had no choice but to comply here. he said he sent the names over a classified channel to try to ensure that those names are never made public, which is the big concern among fbi agents and personnel. jose. >> ken dilanian, thank you very much. and now to new developments in the efforts by president trump and his allies to reshape the federal govern

let's go to former nasa crash investigator ken christianson. ken, thank you for being here. i don't know if you saw that debris field that lindy was just talking about. i think we can show video of it, if you can rerack that. it's extraordinary. i've never seen a larger debris field. that tells you, i would imagine, that this thing just came straight down, the plane, right in. >> right. aircraft crash investigation world we call that high angle, high velocity impact. so the plane is just hitting, basically, like you said, straight down and then the plane will break apart. hence, the fireball. so you have an ig in addition source, you have fuel, so when it impacts, you have that huge fireball. it looks like from the video footage that this plane was on fire prior to hitting the ground. so what in the crash investigation world we'd be looking at is was there power on the aircraft. if there was catastrophic turbine failure or the turbine just came apart, then that can penetrate the tail section of the aircraft which would inhibit elevated control, and that would make sense for

ken martin is in this.ice chairs who were elected, our leadership team is in this because many of them have stories just like mine. i grew up in a working poor family in north philly, buried both of my parents by the time i was 27 because they didn't have access to the type of health care everybody deserves. every holiday season, me and my sisters and my brother, we don't have a family home to go back to because we moved multiple times. the democratic party gives a damn about families like mine. that's what we're focused on. i refuse to spend the next four years somehow apologizing for being a democrat, somehow buying into this narrative that our best days are behind us. they are not. but i also refuse to spend the next four years talking about every crazy thing that comes out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. democrats did so much better downballot than, you know, the 1.3% or whatever it was difference that we saw at the top of the ticket. and i think it's going to be incumbent on us to tell those stories. my s

but here ken martin wins. what happened yesterday? and what does it say about the direction the party wants to take? >> i mean, it's a reminder that this is an inside game. the only people allowed to vote on this are members of the democratic national committee. so despite what senator schumer and former speaker pelosi and others say, it is largely from the beginning. ken martin had a very big lead among party chairs. look, it certainly matters in terms of building the nuts and bolts of the party. there's no doubt about it. he calls for an investigation and review of what happened, not an autopsy. he claims the party is not dead. we shall see. but look, the the democratic party is not going to rise from the ashes from the headquarters of the dnc. it's going to take some specific leader out there. i think back to zero four, after president bush was reelected, democrats were really just in their doldrums. what happened? barack obama also elected that year. he ultimately rose up after a long primary fight. so the party will be rebuilt if

the question, who is ken martin?y and i didn't know who he is. well, this is like, this is a different thing. this isn't a democratic primary. this is an internal democratic party sort of like vote. it's kind of like the model un vote. it's they're looking for someone who can be a custodian of the party, who can, you know, work the levers of the party and work the inside game and kind of help set the stage for the candidates that people know to run and run with. it comes, though, at a really fascinating point within the democratic party right now, because i even asked governor gretchen whitmer the other day on morning joe, who's the leader of the democratic party, she made the argument that you can have more than one leader. okay, sure. but i'm not sure that americans would even say one name cohesively right now. so is that the role that ken martin is supposed to play, going from a relative unknown to the leader of a party in chaos? >> ken martin has to do a lot of things really. >> quickly, right? so he has to do al

director of the fbi, who is now president of anderson university. >> so, ken, good morning.on patel's nomination? >> hey. >> good morning jose. well, that wasn't a surprise. any senator can delay a vote like this for one week. and senate democrats clearly still have many questions about patel's nomination. just today, they sent a letter questioning the fact that he wouldn't discuss his grand jury testimony in the mar-a-lago case, where he apparently took the fifth amendment. wouldn't talk about that on the committee. but this is standard practice. >> and, ken. >> meanwhile, let's talk about this issue. >> of an accusation. >> of insubordination. what could that potentially mean. >> for fbi leadership? >> yeah, well, normally it would mean they would fire someone accused of insubordination. but this this whole situation is just so unusual and really speaks to the standoff that's happening right now between the fbi and the acting leadership, which was installed by the trump administration. let's remember, and the justice department, brian driscoll, the. >> acting director, has

ken, the reporting first. been turned over to the doj providing id numbers, not names. will they stay anonymous? >> well, that's the big question, ana. and the second big question is, will any of these people be fired solely because they worked on january 6th, investigations to which they were assigned? and that's what these lawsuits are designed to prevent. you know, they the agents can't prevent the justice department from assembling lists of employees. that's their prerogative. but the issue here is the public disclosure. agents are worried that they're already seeing january 6th felons pardoned by donald trump, doxing fbi agents and putting their personal information on the web and their names on the web. and they're concerned that there is a real safety threat here. but the big picture here is what we're seeing is a campaign of resistance within the fbi, which is largely a republican organization. it's worth pointing out, including by the acting director, brian driscoll, who was installed by the trump adm

joining us now is nbc's ken dilanian. ken, good morning. what exactly is going on here?ening at the fbi is something the bureau has never experienced in its history. agents being targeted by political leadership because of cases they were ordered to work on. as you said, at least eight senior executives have been fired, including most of the executive assistant directors who run the major divisions and at least two heads of field offices in washington, d.c. and miami. but today, the fear is that a lot more is coming because the trump justice department has identified, as you said, all personnel who worked on the january 6th cases, that's around 5000 people. by one estimate, and has sent them a list of questions trying to determine exactly what they did on those cases. what's even more extraordinary, jose, is that the leaders of the bureau are in open rebellion over this. we reported over the weekend that acting fbi director brian driscoll, who was installed by the white house, pushed back forcefully on a plan to fire even more agents so hard that people thought he would
