i want you to hear kevin mccarthy describing what happened and how he called the then president to tell him to call off the eye rioter. >> on the phone call to the president telling him what was going on. asking him to tell these people to stop, to make a video and go out. i was very intense and very loud about it. he did put a tweet out and later a video out. i told him i didn't like the video out later. the second day i wish the video was first. >> what they are saying then and what they are saying now. then it goes onto kevin mccarthy calls for a bipartisan to investigate the circumstances around the attack and to insist we cannot just sweep this under the rug. we cannot just sweep this under the rug, he says. this is from arkansas congressman french hill pleading with his fellow republicans to get the then president to do the right thing. >> all of you have such a great, wonderful, warm relationship with donald trump, why don't you get on the phone to him, tell him to call joe biden and tell joe congratulations and they ought the meet and schedule a meeting. if he does that in the m

we will also have live coverage of remarks from house minority leader kevin mccarthy expected to start at noon eastern. also president biden went off the reaction to the supreme court decision today. the president expected at 12:30. we're expected to bring bring you live coverage of both of those here on c-span2. now a short portion of the arguments in dobbs v. jackson where justice amy coney barrett engages on safe haven laws on adoption. >> i have a question about the safe haven laws. petitioner points out that in all 50 states you can terminate parental rights by relinquishing a child after abortion and i think the shortest period might have been 48 hours . so it seems to me seen in that light both roe and casey emphasized parenting and so far as you and many of your amici focus on the ways in which the forced parenting, forced motherhood would wet tender women's access to the workplace and equal opportunity. it's also focused on the consequences of parenting and obligations of motherhood that flow from pregnancy . why not the safe haven laws take care of that problem? it seems it f

kevin mccarthy, the guy who said, nobody can defend it, nobody should defend it. it's the saddest day. that kevin mccarthy nominated republicans who he knew would try to suppress the fact. in fact, three of the five members he tapped, jim jordan troy nehls and jim banks after the attack on the capitol. that is the site, they voted with the mob. and we soon learned that one of them was directly involved in the conspiracy. >> i think that congressman jordan may well be a material witness. he is somebody who was involved in a number of meetings in the lead up to what happened on january 6th. and involved in what was happening for january 6th. certainly, for the objections that day, as he said publicly. so, he may well be a material witness. >> we know that jim jordan spoke to donald trump multiple times on january 6th, including a ten minute call that morning. even though he spent months dodging the question. >> on january 6th, did you speak with him before, during or after the capitol was attacked? i'd have to go -- i spoke with him that day, after. i think after. i

kevin mccarthy, the guy who said, nobody can defend it, nobody should defend it. it's the saddest day. that kevin mccarthy nominated republicans who he knew would try to suppress the fact. in fact, three of the five members he tapped, jim jordan, troy nails, -- after the attack on the capitol. that is the site, they voted with the mob. we still learned that one of them was at least two directly involved in the conspiracy. >> i think that congressman jordan may well be a material witness. he is somebody who was involved in a number of meetings in the lead up to what happened on january 6th. and involved in what was happening for january 6th. certainly, for the objections that day, as he said publicly. so, he may well be a material witness. >> we know that jim jordan spoke to donald trump multiple times on january 6th, including a ten minute call that morning. even though he spent months dodging the question. >> on january 6th, did you speak with him before, during or after the capitol was attacked? >> i spoke with him that day, after. i think after. i don't know if

from the the committee that sought pardons but the committee sought five pardons all together, kevin mccarthy, andy biggs, scott perry, jim jordan who mccarthy wanted on the committee in the first place and mo brooks who showed up in a bulletproof vest. seeking pardons, does it mean that you committed a crime does it mean that you think you did? >> it means you looked at your own actions and you saw what happened saying somebody might have a problem with what i just tried to do because what i just tried to do was overthrow the united states government and i almost got people killed so maybe i need some legal protection now. look, one of the things we saw last night, joy, is that liz cheney is going to dog walk for kevin mccarthy. it's going to be a bad five days for kevin mccarthy was scared and we know he was. a bunch of them were. they were frantically calling and trying to get the very one person that they all knew could stop it. lindsey graham called the vapors he was so scared, but now that the immediate physical dangers to their persons have passed, now they have this now -- now they ar

congressman said that posture on kevin mccarthy and republicans in general is a mistake. what happened that day. congressman bobby mills is kind enough to join us. i read your letter of you think that they should cooperate with the investigation that help secure our institutions against future assault. did you ever get a reaction or response? >> congressman mills: no, i have not heard from him, neil. and i know it is probably -- fallen on deaf ears. there's a contingency for rejection of any sort of defense of our democracy and i think that would we need to take it very seriously and get to the bottom of this and it is unfortunate that my friend kevin mccarthy is not approaching it that way. >> neil: you communicate with 22 other former republican members. did they agree with where you test on this this is something republicans should get engaged in? >> congressman inglis: yes, that is the point of the letter. so it is republicans sing, you know, really, we need to get to the bottom of this. we can't allow an attack on our republic to go unchecked. it really should be som

. >> we also saw new video of members of the staff of house republican leader kevin mccarthy fleeingcared and vice chair liz cheney referred to him as scared. obviously kevin mccarthy said a lot of things privately and publicly in which he condemned the mob and held donald trump responsible. he's backed off all of that now saying the american people are responsible for what happened on january 6th. why was that evidence important, do you think? >> we have to set the record straight. clearly, leader mccarthy was on one side before he went to the other. the facts and circumstances haven't changed. he's changed. if he can say what caused it, as you know i negotiated what i thought was a bipartisan commission to look at it made up of 50% republican, 50% democrat. we gave him empg he wanted. >> he asked for three specific things and you grant ed him all three. >> all three. president trump, at that time, said you need to be against it. all of a sudden, he got everything he wanted and he was against it still. >> today, we heard from trump's education secretary at the time of the attack. be

kevin mccarthy pressed about his comments in the hours after the january 6th attack, saying president trump bears responsibility. tonight, jon karl asking leader mccarthy about the former president's claims even to this day that the election was stolen. what mccarthy said. and janon's exclusive interview with the film maker. >>> also breaking, that deadly ts washitod.c., sisspire thosith lat reporting.ad a foement knew more tn a w ilg much of t were 77 they held their position outside the classroom door. >>> tonight, the police officer now charged with murder after a deadly traffic stop in grand rapids, michigan. the officer accused of shooting patrick leo what in the back of the head. >>> horrific allegations of fraternity hazing at the university of missouri. a student force fed alcohol, now paralyzed, blind, and unable to speak. tonight here, his family demanding criminal charges. >>> a remarkable discovery tonight. the baby who disappeared after her parents were killed more than four decades ago in 1980. that grown daughter has now been found. >>> and tonight, the pga tour suspend

we have to talk about kevin mccarthy.awmakers played new video of his staffers evacuating from their offices. mccarthy has over and over again claimed this committee is partisan and illegitimate. you and your co-author obtained new video of him saying this days after the attack. >> we cannot just sweep this under the rug. we need to know why it happened, who did it, and people need to be held accountable for it. i'm committed to make sure that happens. yamiche: what is the significance of what is absolutely an about-face by mccarthy? what does it say about where the gop finds itself right now? >> it is another case study in kevin mccarthy's profound cynicism in how he has handled his role as a leader of the party. and the extent to which she is the standing for the journey that the establishment republican party has taken. you heard his voice. this is really an atrocity. he said he wants a cross-section of the republican party involved in the investigation. now he is doing everything he can to undermine the credibility of

kevin mccarthy who now attacks the january six committee, he thought it was a very good idea five days after the january 6th attack on the capitol. we know that thanks to audio revealed by the new york times alex burns and jonathan. >> we cannot sweep this under the rug, we need to know why it happened, who did it, and people being held accountable. i'm committed to make sure that happens. first option, as some people talked about, is a resolution against the president. both republicans and democrats have been drafting these. one could be introduced or co-sponsor. another item that we need to discuss is a bipartisan commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack. we need to know and have the facts exactly what happened and when. this needs to be done in a targeted way that doesn't distract from keeping the capitol safe over the coming weeks. what we learned is that people can get in, we learned that people come in. we need to have all the facts especially for all of those, we should do it in a bipartisan manner. >> today a federal judge ordered john eastman to turn

don't forget kevin mccarthy. you can't heard about this -- we heard clips of things he was saying to the media and what he told members of congress. the men who would be the next house speaker if republicans win the majority, kevin mccarthy, remains silent publicly about exactly what he said and what he was told in real time on january 6. this committee has done a lot of work and try to get members of congress to cooperate. i do not think they are ever going to hear from kevin mccarthy, but at us -- it is something that needs to be reminded of constantly. kristen: i thought liz cheney left us with an interesting note about how witnesses that came before the committee seemed like they were intimidated. rick: they did not attach names to it, but provided some information describing how people in trump world were reaching out. for lack of a better way of describing it, it sounded like how mafia bosses relate to people. we will take care you, you are part of the family, he is thinking of you. honestly, bad mobster mo

because kevin mccarthy wants to be speaker and this was seen adds the fastest way.f the scene. it was clear that the reaction in congress to what happened on january 6 was just not commensurate with the republican base and so kevin mccarthy moved on quickly and he hindered the work of this committee. he has shown very little interest in finding out exactly what happened and who is accountable and who should be held accountable for t it's startling to hear this audio. >> i want to play a little bit more of that jonathan and alex got here and it has to do with what you might think is important from these hearings over the next week and a half or so it is kevin mccarthy again talking about that day, january 6. listen. >> when they started breaking into my office myself and the staff got removed from the office. in doing so, i made a phone call to the president telling him what was going on, asking him to tell these people to stop, to make a video and go out. and i was very intense and very loud about it. >> this gets to the subject of what then president trump was doin

that was a foolish decision. >> he should be angry because this might be kevin mccarthy's biggest blunderurted on camera that the benghazi hearings were designed to stop hillary clinton from becoming president. kevin who would be speaker, somehow thought that giving the committee hours of uninterrupted game time about how trump and his allies corkes traited a coup was a good idea. >> that never psz in congress these days. maga republicans are constantly interrupting like "woke" just to get on fox news, look at this with the commissioner from earlier today. >> i'm a little bit troubled by your embracement of what i'll call left-woke anti-american propaganda. >> madam chair, if you want to know why they're frustrated and it's not about holding sexual harassment accountable, and it is about us conducting show trials, and unless you're jack del rio. you get fined. >> this is so bad. thankfully, with the january 6th investigation, we have been spared their performative that the theatrics. leader mccarthy directed the ranking republican on the house homeland security committee to come up with a

kevin mccarthy... >> o'donnell: leader mccarthy, the president of the united states has a briefing roomal office. why hasn't he walked down and said that? >> reporter: hutchinson described her disappointment with the president's 2:24 p.m. tweet as attackers poured on to the grounds, he wrote, "mike pence lacked courage." >> as an american, i was disgusted. it was unpatriotic. it was un-american. we were watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie. >> reporter: in the final moments of the hearing, hutchinson said both mark meadows and rudy giuliani sought pardons. trump respondd to the hearing saying hutchinson's story was a fake story and that he hardly knew her. norah. >> o'donnell: scott macfarlane, thank you. let's turn to our esteemed political team who were all here watching this unfold with me. john dickerson, there was a lot that made today different. >> reporter: there was. we've seen the outside picture on january 6. what this was today was the inside, intimate portrait, the closest look we've gotten to president trump on that day and his inner circle. and we were give

>> well, i mean, i agreed with kevin mccarthy, that, you know, uttered those words i think it was -- on january 11th. obviously, you know, i've talked about it many times. he's reversed course and made the events of that day purely political. you know, he's looking for -- looking at his own political future, the future of his party. and those are the things that appear to be most important to kevin mccarthy. >> i just want to play a little bit more of what was said. the day before the attack -- and this time it's by a republican congresswoman debbie lesko of arizona. listen to this. >> i also ask leadership to come up with a safety plan for members. i'm actually very concerned about this because we have, who knows how many hundreds of thousands of people coming here. we have antifa. we also have, quite honestly, trump supporters who actually believe that we are going to overturn the election. and when that doesn't happen, most likely will not happen, they're going to go nuts. >> this is january 5th, debbie lesko saying there will be trump supporters there who are going to go nuts. he

>> i think kevin mccarthy, when this audio came out obviously reached out to president trump and hasthe opposition to the democrats on virtually everything in opposition to the january 6th committee, opposition to the attacks on donald trump. so there is something to be said, i guess, for mccarthy's strategy that it appears to have worked, that he has not fallen out of favor with the former president. and he needs him because it's obvious that republicans are most likely to win the house in november and so he would need to maintain trump's support to achieve his dream of becoming speaker. and he's done what he had to do. you can agree with it or not agree with it, but he's done what he had to do, and as a political strategy it's working at the moment. we'll see if it continues to work. i think he will be the next speaker and i think it will be with donald trump's support. obviously there's a runway between now and november, but in washington, as you know, people often do what they've got to do to get what they want and that's what kevin mccarthy is doing. >> and we'll see if the endo

congressman, what do you think happened to kevin mccarthy between january 6 and now?ourage. he cared more about politics and being able to hold potential power of becoming speaker and gaining seats. he realizes that the republican party cannot really exist without donald trump and donald trump's base. he struck a deal with literally the devil in order to continue for him to have any chance of being speaker and potentially bring donald trump back. he chose his personal political career versus saving democracy. the lowest thing you could do as a politician. >> congresswoman, do you think the hearing tonight is going to change any minds? >> i think the purpose of the hearing is to bring to light what happened in the days leading up to the january 6 insurrection, to explain and tell the story that this investigation has drawn out of what were the reasons behind it, who came together, how was it orchestrates, what motivated it, what was the intention and what was the impact? we have had one public hearing where police officers from capitol police and metropolitan spoke of

political speech of private citizens. >> in remarks earlier this afternoon, house republican leader kevin mccarthyanuary 6th committee of choosing partisan politics over the, quote, real issues impacting americans. it was a far cry from the mccarthy who demanded accountability after the days after the insurrection in audio we heard a little bit earlier. joining me is washington correspondent and moderator of "washington week," and to be fair i think democrats are focusing on kitchen table issues that kevin mccarthy was talking about. this is something altogether separate in addition to that. i want to play video from one of the victims of the january 6th insurrection. here is how who responded to that charge. >> these people are still conspiring. they talk about it all the time. they're getting -- even the ones we've arrested in jail are talking amongst themselves, becoming further radicalized, concerned about inflation, gas prices, that's reasonable to be concerned about because it impacts you today, i get that. but this is going -- has the potential to impact you in a much more severe way down t

kevin mccarthy won't even acknowledge that joe biden won the election.hink, you know, what's -- what's more significant in a way is not that a handful of, you know, really extreme people may win, it's that the whole party has gotten that extreme. >> okay. is there a difference, though, between, say -- i mean, i hear totally what you're saying. >> yeah. >> because republicans are certainly not turning their back on some of the sentiment, but kevin mccarthy was scared that day, his staff was scared. isn't there a difference between a kevin mccarthy or someone like that than someone who you would wonder are they going to open the door for someone to come in? >> i don't, i don't think there is a significant difference. that's the thing that's so amazing to me is that kevin mccarthy who was scared and in that new video from last week we saw his staff running for their lives, but even though that's true they won't -- he won't denounce donald trump. >> publicly he won't. >> that's all that matters. >> yeah, but i think there is a difference between somebody lik

to things that kevin mccarthy said in the days after the insurrection. can you take us inside what it feels like when the work of the committee was bipartisan and an aggressive pursuit of the facts and you've got this sort of, i don't know, peanut galleries that's an insult to peanuts and you have the other side that's before the hearing, revising facts that they once stipulated as facts. >> it is a drastic difference between the words that we heard from minority leader mccarthy right after january 6th. at that point he was saying the right things. he said we need to get to the bottom of this. we need to understand the facts and hold people accountable and today he's out there essentially just embarrassing himself with his remarks because how could anyone look over my shoulder and see the capitol being overrun by thousands of people who were violent that led to deaths and attempted to obstruct the work of the congress in which he's supposed to be a leader within this congress. how can he not be more concerned and i truly think it's embarrassing and it wo

with that, let me bring up our leader, kevin mccarthy. [applause] mr. carthy: only a few of us are speaking today but i hope you acknowledge everyone who is standing behind me. i hope you acknowledge everybody who is sitting at home. saying the exact same words. that we are. today's supreme court decision is the most important pro-life ruling in american history. by a vote of 6-3, the court affirmed that the power to protect unborn life is returned to the people and their elected representatives. the people have won a victory. the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. this great nation can now live up to its core principles, that all are created equal, not born equal, created equal. americans celebrate this historic victory because we know it will save the lives of millions of children and it will give families hope. but as encouraging as today's decision is, our work is far from done. americans remain one of only seven countries on earth that allow elective abortions in the third trimester. of those seven countries

but for the time, she remained house leadership, even though kevin mccarthy tried to oust her.the first time, in february of 2021, he's the secret ballot vote, and the republican conference overwhelmingly voted for her to stay, which led to some awkward moments like this one. >> do you believe president trump should be speaking -- or former president trump should be speaking at cpac this weekend? >> yes, he should. >> congresswoman cheney? >> that's up to cpac. i've been clear, views about president trump, and the extent to which, following january six, i don't believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party of the country. >> on that high note, thank you all very much. >> i find that clip fascinating. because cheney is trying to walk the tightrope there. she doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. but she is also going to say her piece. the obvious and evident truth. and over the coming months, the party began to sour on cheney, as trump tightened his grip on the republican conference. in may of 2021, they voted again to strip cheney of her leadership

kevin mccarthy told me directly he wasn't going to sign it. i said good. be associated with and a few hours later he signed it. >> the brief went out without kevin mccarthy's name and the next day saying he was inadvertently left off and he signed on to it. that was bad. didn't want to sign it and then realized ltzed pressure. people sign on to something they don't believe to avoid political pressure. leaders afraid of their base and not leading their base. >> reporter: the supreme court declined to even hear the suit. >> majority of house republicans, two-thirds of them, literally saying, i don't want any of the votes from pennsylvania. i don't want any of them to count. based on this lie? i mean -- i'll just say for me personally as a pennsylvanian, trying to disenfranchise my mom and dade based on lies. >> i don't know why everyone doesn't take that personally. they did not want nor vote to count. based on nothing whatsoever. that is so mind bending and so difficult to comprehend. so what's going to happen next presidential election? how many people wil

it's not until donald trump said later in 2021, he did not want that query, that kevin mccarthy changed his mind and then opposed the creation of the 1/6 commission. that was done entirely at the prompting of trump, who wanted no bipartisan inquiry into what happened on the 6th. as we now know and capture in our book, republicans, especially in the house, salute donald trump and do his bidding when he makes that kind of an ask. >> you know, one thing that also stands out here, of course, is there are -- there are americans and trump supporters who believe what they were told by the president, right? and then they saw members of congress vote that way, right? vote to overturn the election. it cemented that belief, and they believe in those people. the people who did that, of course, did so knowing that it was b.s. i want to play a recording you played of a congressman from indiana. >> the reality is, this is a political vote for many of us. i'm going to vote my district. my district wants me to object to the states that get bid cammeral rejections. and that's how i'm going to vote. do i

for the way that he handled this, you know, for a lot of them, he's the guy, kevin mccarthy, who isitical futures and what committees they get and what not. but i think there was a lot of rationalization from republicans when i talked to them, and i think seeing it in other interviews, doing a lot of explaining to try to demonstrate that kevin mccarthy's move was the right move, when i think to, you know, any observer, it seems like it probably wasn't, and they all saw the former president's comment about it, and i think a lot of them are looking at these hearings, and yes, that is another key way in which they look a lot different than impeachment, viewers will recall that first impeachment hearing, that was in those rooms, you were watching them, and republicans made them painful. they used every procedural tool at their disposal, they turned every questioning into sort of an amplification of their side, and it dragged them down, and it led to their effectiveness and we are not seeing that whatsoever right here. and i think it's important to note as well that there was some chatte

meanwhile, house minority leader kevin mccarthy, had an interesting opinion on who he thought was responsibled i'll give you a hint it is not the former president. >> mr. mccarthy, you said both publicly and privately that you thought trump bore some responsibility for the attack? do you still feel he is in any way responsible? >> i thought everybody in the country beared some responsibility. given what was going on, the rights in the streets. others. >> that's right folks forget trump! forget the lawmakers, and officials who enabled him! forget the proud boys and extremists! forget the right-wing media. you! yes you, sitting at home and watching this right now! the top ranking house republican is suggesting that the capitol riots is your fault! you try crazy things... ...because you're crazy... ...and you like it. you get bigger... ...badder... ...faster. ♪ you can never have too much of a good thing... and power is a very good thing. ♪ >> the day you get your clearchoice dental implants makes every day... a "let's dig in" day... >> mm. >> ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a

but for the time, she remained house leadership, even though kevin mccarthy tried to oust her.the first time, in february of 2021, he's the secret ballot vote, and the republican conference overwhelmingly voted for her to stay, which led to some awkward moments like this one. >> do you believe president trump should be speaking -- or former president trump should be speaking at cpac this weekend? >> yes, he should. >> congresswoman cheney? >> that's up to cpac. i've been clear, views about president trump, and the extent to which, following january six, i don't believe that he should be playing a role in the future of the party of the country. >> on that high note, thank you all very much. >> i find that clip fascinating. because cheney is trying to walk the tightrope there. she doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. but she is also going to say her piece. the obvious and evident truth. and over the coming months, the party began to sour on cheney, as trump tightened his grip on the republican conference. in may of 2021, they voted again to strip cheney of her leadership

start by going back to what kevin mccarthy said earlier today. >> the voiceless finally have a voice. this great nation can now live up to its core principle that all are created equal, not born equal, created equal. david: we listened to that together and we have to bear in mind, there are a lot about her to feel good about this decision -- a lot of voters who feel good about this decision. >> absolutely. there has been a lot of chanting and singing over the last couple hours. over the past hour, we have heard both sides of this issue presented by both ends of pennsylvania avenue. kevin mccarthy widely believed to be the next speaker of the house if republicans take the majority, delivering the lines you just played for us belle president biden called this a sad day for the court and a sad day for america. remarkable to hear president biden call out the former president by name, saying it was three justices named by one president, donald trump, who are at the core of this decision. the president calling for calm as there have been threats of violence and vandalism, a night of rage as

so for kevin mccarthy not to come out and say, no, that's not true, think about it. mitch mcconnell has said it's not true. bill barr said it's not true. even ivanka trump has said it's not true that the election was stolen but not kevin mccarthy, not the leader of the republicans in the house. it's a really significant thing. >> it truly is, jon. i also wanted to point out again to some of your reporting for 46 your book, "betrayal," "the new york times" cited it this weekend saying after january 6th mike pompeo, steve mnuchin then discussed the 25th amendment that could have led to trump's removal from office. what more can you tell us? >> he discussed it with steven mnuchin who was the treasury secretary and "the times" confirmed that reporting and also added that betsy devos was talking about it as well, other members of the cabinet. this is just absolutely remarkable, think about it. you have members of trump's cabinet including two who are extremely close to the president and had served him for all four years saying essentially he may have been mentally unfit t

it's kevin mccarthy saying, we need help.e shower, gets dressed and heads down to the white house. by the time he gets there, it's too late. the wife ivanka convinced the president to put out a video. we all remember that, where he call on rioters to go home, but also tells them he loves them and repeats the fraudulent election claims and basically presents this as if it was a righteous reaction to a stolen election. of course it wasn't. and by that point, kushner determined there was nothing more he could do that day. but i think it's important to remember that basically, you know, he was absent for a lot a this period. he did not fight back against giuliani and the others who were telling the president this stuff, because he concluded the president wasn't listening. but left the people like giuliani free reign to fill the presidency air with all these false reports of things that would lead to january 6th and the violence that day. >> mark meadows, rudy giuliani, sidney powell, a lot of voices in the president's ear in the
