kinzinger: it should start from the top. i'm not sure what the details it takes to do it, not something i have looked into. not sure if i'm going to lead it or if it is appropriate to do it. the first question is, does kevin put out a statement. i thought it was decent. what are we going to go to in terms of action? i was in the meeting where he said -- he has the ability to remove people from leadership or remove people from the conference. i hope he does. eugene: we only have so much time. as early as this week, we expect to see the republicans killed the idea of the bipartisan commission to investigate january 6. 35 republicans in the house supported the idea. seems like there is a great forgetting, a whitewashing that has been happening on the right. i am curious, we are both curious, what is happening in your party right now? is this going to blow back on the effort to retake the house? rep. kinzinger: been terms of the impact for 2022, i wish i could say i knew. i do think the republicans have such tailwinds right now

and adam kinzinger. would that include them? >> i don't necessarily see the need to have republicans who spent four years kind of helping trump lie to the country and who at the very last minute were like oh, you know what, all this lying kind of led to insurrection? i don't necessarily think they have a right to be on the committee. i'd be willing to if you wanted to throw liz cheney on as a way to be nice, then she's willing to actually go on tv and tell the truth, i'd be willing to entertain that. but again, the starting position should be nothing and then republicans have to earn their way on through good deeds, which perhaps we can agree liz cheney has earned. >> let's go to you, susan, i'll bring you in on that. i want to get your comments on that and your response to it because it is a fair point to say that liz cheney voted with donald trump like 90% of the time. she broke with him on this one thing. but do you think that it would help to make the committee appear to be more legitimate? do you think there's a reason to p

kinzinger: ok. and let me ask you, too, one of the greatest threats i think we face, both, frankly, in this country and around the world is the rising threat of russian and chinese authoritarianism. we have seen the spread of their ideology throughout the world and it's clearly on display at the u.n. where russia and china undermine the rules based international order. do russia and china to use their seats on the u.n. security council? if so, how has it been detrimental to making it a better place for the world? ms. thomas-greenfield: the security council is a weird environment. so there are times when we do cooperate with the russian and chinese on issues that are of mutual interest to us as a country. on climate change, we've been able to cooperate with them. i am -- i don't know if i would use the word cooperate but i'm meeting regularly with my russian counterpart to push them on the issue of reopening the syrian border. i think it is absolutely important they make the right decision here and t

that was liz cheney of wyoming and adam kinzinger of illinois. and kinzinger, who i saw right after he voted didn't want to talk to us at that point. but did put out a statement a short time ago. we need a full accounting of what happened on january 6th, 2021, we need answers on who was involved in the insurrection and who played a role in orchestrating it. we need transparency and truth. and kinzinger went on to say that he would have much rather had that bipartisan independent commission. but it was his party that blocked it so he felt that this was a necessary step, and that's why he voted yes. jake? >> ryan, when are we going to find out who is going to be on the committee? >> that's an open question right now. but we do believe that the house speaker does want to move quickly. the big question is just how cooperative is kevin mccarthy going to be in appointing the five members that he has allowed to appoint in consultation with the speaker. we tried to press him on it today and he essentially said he didn't even know what was happening with

republican congressman adam kinzinger saying i prefer this to be bipartisan and a january 6th commissionw my party blocked it so joining me is matthew the former chief sftrategists for former president. i got to be honest. glad you're on. hard to conduct an interview after that last one, you know. just so -- it's just so sad. >> i'll hold your hand. i'll hold your hand. >> i know. let's go on and talk about this because this is important. it's what happened to the country, as well. republicans can complain all they want but as kinzinger points out, they rejected a bipartisan commission. if speaker pelosi appointments a republican, something she's considering someone like kinzinger or cheney, what kind of message would that send? >> well, you know, it's interesting to me and as i was listening to that very powerful interview you just did, i was thinking about this symbolically. obviously, the tragedy in florida with the building falling down but we actually have the same situation on democracy here, right? because we haven't tended to the structures and do what we need to do to build it u

the most likely choices could probably either liz cheney of illinois or kinzinger. independent commission. i caught up with kinzinger yesterday and asked if he would accept an appointment to the select committee. he told me that he preferred the bipartisan commission, but made the point that it was his party that blocked its formation and then ultimately said it was up to the speaker that indicates that he's at least open to the appointment, jake. so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. >> ryan nobles, thank you so much. let's bring in our panel now. pelosi could pick liz cheney and adam kinzinger especially if she's ruling out two-thirds of the house republicans who voted to undo the election by voting against the arizona and pennsylvania results. but already you have people who even voted to impeach, like congr congr congressman katko saying they don't want to be part of this committee. >> they would be putting a target on themselves if they were perceived to being a part of anything that speaker pelosi is doing. but i do think that it would be wi

republican congressman adam kinzinger telling cnn this.i'll say that i prefer this to be bipartisan. i'd prefer a january 6th commission. that said, you know my party blocked it. so, joining me now is matthew dowd, he is the former-chief strategist for president gw bush. matthew, good to see you. you know what? i got to be honest with you. i am glad you are on. hard to conduct an interview, after that last one. you know? it's just so sad. >> i'll hold your hand. i'll hold your hand. >> i know. but let's go on and talk about this because this is important. it's happening to the country, as well. republicans can complain, all they want. but as kinzinger points out, they rejected a bipartisan commission. if speaker pelosi appoints a republican. something she is considering. someone, like kinzinger or cheney. what kind of message would that -- would that send? >> well, you know, it -- it's interesting, to me, and as i was listening to that very powerful interview you just did. i was thinking about this symbolically. obviously, the tragedy in f

adam kinzinger has said he'll serve on it.will have the subpoena power to seize documents and phone records and testimony. what is your advice as this first investigation commences for the democrats? >> i would say the truth is your goal. forget about the goal being bipartisanship or being measured. the truth is the goal in this, right? you can harken back -- to me we're at the most perilous moment in our country's history since 1861. in the aftermath of 1861 and the civil war, the republicans didn't worry about, oh, let's cut a deal on civil rights or on voting rights for former slaves. they were just like we're going to do the right thing and we're going to establish justice and equality and we don't care if we get a single democratic vote. the democrats need to focus on this and i think they actually -- every day if they talk about infrastructure on highways, they should be talking about democracy and the sa all the on democracy and the continued assault on democracy, because the assault on democracy is not just captured in

cheney and kinzinger have less. i think one of them can and up on that some committee.t will be interesting. that is three republicans out of, one of their, 210 in the house? i think they might be the only in the committee. >> don, as a formality here from congressman clyde burn, this is on this network earlier today we will discuss on the other side. >> would you support the appointment of liz cheney or nadim kings interview committee using one of the speakers unilateral picks? >> yes, i would. i think both of them are republicans. both of them or conservative republicans. and both of them are real about what had happened on january 6th. a speaker would do well to bipartisan champ and giving -- >> so don, who earned the man, you heard bill before the congressman talk about risk versus reward on appointing one of those two names they were republicans that democrats seemed to like. >> great question. it's very important that we consider the speakers force usual powers here. as you said the speaker can represent eight members, the minority leader has to represent. five it

it got nowhere. >> you mentioned kinzinger and cheney.here are two ways they could end up on this committee. speaker pelosi gets eight unilateral picks and you expect to see five republicans, at least, but the speaker's office has indicated that speaker pelosi is at least open to the possibility of selecting a republican with one of her picks here. both kinzinger and cheney through spokespeople have said that's a choice that the speaker would make and they didn't dismiss it out of hand, andrea. it is a little sorkin-esque and it is possible that one of those republican critics of the former president could end up as a democratic pick on this committee. >> garrett haake, thank you very much, we'll be watching that vote tomorrow. president biden is on a campaign-style trip to sell the nearly $1 trillion infrastructure package. he landed in wisconsin moments ago. he'll be visiting michigan this week as democrats have broken up the infrastructure package, a bipartisan part for which the president is campaigning and the $6 trillion wish list,

there's a wide expectation that it could be cheney and kinzinger.speaker to decide if she were so choose one of those two. now, the question too will be whether the republicans participate on this. kevin mccarthy has up to five picks he can make. but nancy pelosi ultimately can decide if those picks are good enough. she can veto that. she told me yesterday she could potentially veto those picks. and i just asked kevin mccarthy on the way into the vote if he's willing to name any republicans to this at all. and he dodged the question for a second straight day saying that he's still studying the select committees that are out there. they're not saying one way or the other what he will do. pelosi has to name a chairperson for this committee as well. there is some expectation that bennie thompson who is the house homeland security chairman. but pelosi will not say. she will also not answer questions leaving the vote about which republicans she might choose. more to come on that. but this committee, alisyn, is expected to have subpoena power. it will hav

. >> could you support the appointment of liz cheney or adam kinzinger to the committee using one of> yes, i would, both of them are republicans. both of them are conservative republicans. both of them are real about what happened on january 6th. so i think that the speaker would do well to demonstrate bipartisanship by appointing one of them to the committee. >> so, don, you heard the man. you heard bill before the congressman, talk about risk versus reward on appointing one of those two names. the republicans the democrats seem to like. >> that's a great question, brian. it's important that we consider the speaker's procedural powers here. the speaker can present eight members, the minority leader gets to present five members. but it's important, the little word that you presented, the minority leader is to be consulted but it does not require his consent. not even the five republican members really require the speaker's consent. what the speaker is doing here is making sure that she can say that this was a truly bipartisan process rather than giving the republicans five platforms

someone like liz cheney or adam kinzinger? >> hopefully it's not someone who has lost touch with the truth and the fact of the matter is i do expect her to name a republican because i think she wants to continue to demonstrate that she is in a bipartisan pursuit of the truth. she demonstrated that when she authorized an even number. five and five, sent that to the senate and they rejected it. i don't think continue to take that that the speaker is in pursuit of the truth. we will continue to do that with her appointments today. >> will she be naming them today? >> i have no idea. we'll have that -- her appointments as a result of today, i suppose. >> i want to also ask you about police reform because there are reports, rather, that the talks on capitol hill are teetering on collapse. karen bass, as you know, has been the point person from the house side. is this long negotiation to get the george floyd bill passed going to fail? >> i hope not. i really have been working closely with congresswoman bass. i've had discussions wit

even with cheney or kinzinger, let's say, is selected, democrats would still control the majority of the way the speaker has broken it up. it's one seat more partisan than the benghazi. there's a little bit of a firewall built in for democrats there. >> i am curious. the idea that in consultation with kevin mcmarty. they're doing that to prevent margie taylor green? is this an insurance policy against her being on the committee? >> i don't think it's just her but i think it allows as little veto by the speaker. i'm not sure she's a pick that leader mccarthy would choose. she's not someone who's got close relationships with leadership. he has handled that relationship as carolly as he could. i think if i'm kemp mccarthy, i'm going to want to pick allies, partisans, warriors, potentially, to be sure. that seems to be the way the republicans want to handle this. you want to pick people you know puck work with and who aren't going to go rogue on you and create more headaches or headlines based on how they conduct themselves when that committee holds hearings. >> i know a lot of people ar

. >> kinzinger. >> adam kinzinger. they're exactly the kind of republicans who can only be the only course forward for the future of the republican party. >> and john, let's switch gears. former attorney general bill barr is quoted in a new book excerpt saying he suspected that president trump's claims of widespread election fraud were, his words, "all bullshit." this is not the first time we've seen bill barr push back on these claims. but what do we make of this attempt of bill barr here? is this an image rehab tour? what do you think? >> in part, yeah. it's the beginning of a rehab tour. but i think the larger cautionary tale is that bill barr, from the time he lobbied for the job, in effect, through most of his time in the justice department, did everything he could to placate, to appease donald trump's worst instincts. he final hit something that was too far, a request to overturn an election. that's a pretty low bar to show that you've got courage and cajones and constitutional fidelity. to his credit, he refused

your personal preference, would you rather have people like congresswoman liz cheney, adam kinzinger, peter meyer on this committee, the select committee, that then, for instance, marjorie taylor greene, and are you worried about the kinds of republicans that kevin mccarthy might appoint to the select committee? >> well, i hope he appoints people that are seen as being credible and are willing to look at the evidence on a clear-eyed basis. i think the american people are interested in getting to the bottom of some of the outstanding issues. look, as you know, i voted in favor of a bipartisan commission. i think that would have had more credibility. just having a commission which is established under the speaker of the house, obviously leaves credibility in the lurch. and yet there will be an effort to look back at what happened on january 6th. i think there are questions that are appropriate to be evaluated. from my standpoint, my question is why did it take so long for security to come to the capitol and to rescue the capitol police that were battling away, and to make sure that the

others, i think, here, you know, you have even elected officials, people like liz cheney, adam kinzinger, barbara comstock, who want c to reform and restore th republican party. my argument has been -- it is a debatable question, whether or not the republican party could ever be restored to its former glory. but in terms of joining with the democrats, there are probably a lot of reasons not to, if you are a conservative. fiscalss policy. but theth one issue that i think is a moral issue is the pro-life issue.e the democrats -- joe biden actually at one point was a pro-life democrat. and then later, he was pro-choice. however he opposed using taxpayer funding for abortion. just in the last couple of years he has reversed his position on that. even if you hate a lot of things that donald trump and the party has done, it's a huge obstacle to join a partt that has a vastly different worldview. >> let's go to henry in michigan. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. here is the way that i see things. joe biden and the democrats have a very unique problem here. and that is that about 70% of the re

we heard from republicans mitt romney and adam kinzinger slamming trump for continuing to make claimsf vote fraud. romney ridiculed his rally as entertaining as wwf. no short challenge has been successful challenging the results. so your takeaway on how it goes, moves forward with trump looking like he may get back in the race? >> i think it is a mistake for republicans and conservatives to get in the war of personalities. i think a united republican party will rally around policies. policies affect how people will live, what happens in the country. that is not a dodge on specific individuals but what unites us, with some of the naysayers of donald trump don't understand is that the american people really did like the policies that he was implementing, a reasonable, regulatory scheme that was reduced from what obama and biden were doing. lower taxes, a thriving economy, limited government. these types of things. a strong police presence. an accountable presence on the border. all of these things unite us. so, for those that want to just get into the war of personalities that will divi

it's possible that it could be either liz cheney or adam kinzinger who are just the only two republicans all up to the speaker about whether she will serve, and declined to comment further. there are five republican appointees, kevin mccarthy can choose those. but nancy pelosi does effectively have veto party power over who kevin mccarthy picks. it remains to be seen if she will exercise that. and it also remains to be seen how kevin mccarthy himself will deal with this. i asked mccarthy about whether or not he will in fact go ahead and appoint members. he would not comment for a second straight day if he does plan to select his own members to this committee and who those members could be. could they be ones who voted to overturn the election. could it be ones who tried to deny joe biden his electoral victory on january 6th or seek to invalidate across a number of battleground states. no doubt about it, this committee which was approved on mostly a partly line vote, it is going to take effect, and the investigation could go deep and it could go into next year. >> manu raju on capitol hil

ashley, i'm going play for you congressman adam kinzinger. >> he's obsessed with the fact that he lost again at something and instead of in his post-presidency taking on, i don't know, some issue that he cares about, or some thing that we see former presidents do, he's down there obsessing about the fact that he's a loser. i'm sorry that you're a loser, but you lost. >> ashley, this gets us into the former president who you spent so many years covering. i note that he's going back on the road this weekend. what is the strategy, do you think, down at mar-a-lago, where i'm left to assume his chief domestic adviser is a manufacturer of chopped foam rubber pillows. >> there is no strategy. some strategy would be to have the former president play a productive and proactive role in helping republicans take back the house and the senate in the 2022 midterm elections. but anyone around him, no matter how they try to engage him, for him, he brings everything back to the 2020 election that he lost. he repeats the so-called big lie, now with new tweaks. he's obsessed, as we and others have report

. >> charlie sykes, this morning adam kinzinger, who ratified what happen and testified to it as well, a republican, he said that that guy used to be a republican. he was more on the republican side if he was political at all. how do republicans think that they can get away with refusing to shake the hand of a police officer who protected them? of turning on police, of turning on everything they supposedly believed in, do they think that's going to work? do they think that's popular in georgia? is that possible those people hate police now because they don't love trump enough? >> i think what they are counting on is people won't hear about it. if you have a 24/7 diet of fox news, you won't hear that. all of this underlines how crucial to have an independent bipartisan commission to get to the bottom of what happened and to flesh out all the lies. number two, the hypocrisy of republicans like congressman clyde who have wrapped them services in the blue lives matter movement, who have made their support for first responders so central to their appeal is just stunning and breathtaking. i

what do you think about that point that kinzinger was trying to make, really pulling back the bs thatctually believe anything you're saying about antifa or it was peaceful, you would want an investigation to prove you're right, that they may very well be covering up their own complicity. >> nicolle, the reality is that with a few kind of flammable exceptions, the ones that sort of get famous pretty quickly, very few have any illusion about what happened and precisely because they understand what happened -- you saw the trump flag, you saw trump's words, they understand what happened. precisely because they understand this was a trump cat alyzed event that is inconvenient to what they're trying to do which is retake control of the house of representatives am so don't be fooled. there may be one or two folks who believe the fbi did this or antifa did this. the republicans know what happened and really don't want to talk about it, and that's a dangerous thing for a country who came very close to having its democracy turned over. >> i want to show you something officer fanone said in the

who called out donald trump for his lie that he won the election all eyes are on liz cheney, adam kinzingeruestion too, jake, is what will happen to the five members whom mccarthy should be able to appoint here? because the legislation allows the speaker essentially to have veto power over mccarthy's ultimate pick here. and when i asked the speaker earlier today whether or not she could veto those picks, she said yes, and she also would not say, jake, whether she would allow those republican who's voted to overturn the electoral results to serve on the committee. >> how many republicans do we expect will vote in favor of creating this committee tomorrow? >> we expect very few. some of those who voted to impeach donald trump told me that they are unlikely to support this measure tomorrow. people like john katko, congressman gonzalez from ohio, both of them signaling they are likely to oppose this. they support an independent outside commission. of course that commission bill blocked in the senate. pelosi is moving ahead herself. >> manu raju, thanks so much. joining me now to discuss democra

personal preference, would you rather have people like congresswoman liz cheney and congressman adam kinzinger and adam meyer on this select committee than, for instance, marjorie taylor greene and who will be appointed to than select committee? >> he hope he appoints people seen to be credible and looks at it on a broad base. i think the american people are interested in getting to the bottom of some of the outstanding issues. look. as you know, i voted in favor of a bipartisan commission. i think that would have had more credibility. just having a commission which is established under the speaker of the house, obviously, leaves credibility in the lurch. and, yet, there will be an effort to look back at what happened on january 6th. i think there are questions that are appropriate to be evaluated. from my standpoint, one question is why did it take so long for security to come to the capitol and to rescue the capitol police that were battling away? and to make sure that the vice president was safe and his family was safe, as well as other elected officials. why the delay so long? why didn't t

she follows adam kinzinger also calling him out. what else did cheney say? she really singled out paul gosar who she helped put his gas mask -- open his gas mask and put it on that day. she said he's lying and smearing the men and women. we also, manu raju, my colleague, talked to congresswoman cheney. here's what she said. >> the police fought for us that day. they defended us. i'm sure they saved lives. they defended the capitol. the idea that they wouldn't get congressional gold medal is just outrageous. >> kevin mccarthy, should he do something about these members? >> it's outrageous they voted no on it. >> again, 21 house republicans refusing to support that congressional gold medal for the men and women who defended the capitol and protected their lives on that day during the deadly insurrection here on january 6th. and poppy, to your point, some of the excuses we heard were about simemantics and language. they don't want to call it an insurrection. others like ignored our questions about why they wouldn't support this. >> jessica dean, thank you. >>>

bring in kinzinger, cheney, bring them all into the fold to find out why and how this attack happened. >> jeff, what do you think is the most realistic option moving forward for this type of investigation? democrats do have some choices to maybe. >> reporter: they do have choices to make. the reality here is that the die has been cast. this is likely to be viewed as a partisan sxie. it would not be quite as much so if those republicans, who amanda mentioned, were engaged in this. it is also -- you know, it's tempting for democrats to, you know, really spend time on this. they certainly want to get to the bottom of this. they are also trying to look ahead. this is not going to be an issue in which they win or lose the election on. so, have a fair process. you know, bring investigators on who are -- if republicans aren't interested, they can bring people from the outside who are very credible to try to get to the bottom of this here. but their hands are tied in some respects. it's one of the reasons the white house, again, wanted nothing to do with it. >> i like that carpenter idea. i'm

adam kinzinger seen as a potential pelosi pick.mccarthy gets to pick, the republican leader, it has to be done in consultation with the speaker which is why she effectively has veto power. now how is mccarthy going to approach this, we still don't know. i was told this morning he talked about this committee, criticized it as a partisan committee but did not get into detail about his thinking or the kind of members that he would appoint. there is possibility or someone like a jim jordan who is often selected in some of the key positions, someone who is a staunch trump defender, jordan told me last night he has not been talking to mccarthy about this but pelosi is the one that will have the say here. and another important thing about this investigation, it is there is no time frame about when it would end, unless the outside commission which was a bill blocked by senate republicans and that would have ended at the end of this year. this is no end date. so it is uncertain whether it could drag on into the midterms and ultimately what

of course, the question whether republican like liz cheney, or adam kinzinger would do, it remains to be seen. they are two of the few republicans who have been steadfastly critical of the capitol attack in trump's role in it. neither of them getting a seat in that, but appointed by nancy pelosi, that would be like throwing a plugged in toaster into the standing bathwater on capitol hill. then, we shall see. it remains to be seen whether republicans will allow any of the members to be appointed. it's not like this is a fraud issue or anything, right? that we deserve some clarity and closure on as a country. it's not like this continuing effort to promote the conspiracy theories and lies that led to the generous accepted the first place, right? you will not be surprised to learn that former president trump this weekend used his first big rally since leaving office, to talk about how he's not really the former president. he and his mind, is still the president. he told the crowd in ohio this weekend quote, the 2020 presidential election was rigged. we won that election in a landslide. t
