it was unlikely that liz cheney wound up there by accident. eight hour drive from her home in d.c. suburbs. and more to the point, it's also eight hours from the scene and studios in downtown washington that she inhabits more often than most of us go to church and much more reverently. manchester is also not going to matter to her more than 2,000 miles from wyoming, that's the state she supposedly represents in the u.s. congress. so the question is what was liz cheney doing in manchester, new hampshire, appear there is only one answer. liz cheney plans to run for president of the united states. if that sounds demented, yeah, because it is. but it's also real. you may be wondering if liz cheney were to run for president, what would she run on? she doesn't like trump. okay. but what would your platform be? we know the answer to that because liz cheney only cares about one thing and only ever has, and that is starting pointless wars in faraway countries. more paul is the war and the farther way, the better it is. droning peasants makes liz cheney

liz cheney plans to run for president of the united states. sounds demented, yeah, because it is. but it's also real. you may be wondering if liz cheney were to run for president, what would she run on? she doesn't like trump. okay. platform be?d your we know the answer to that because liz cheney only cares about one thing and only everok has, and that is starting pointless wars in faraway countries. the more pointless the war and the farther way, the better it is. droning peasants makes liz cheney feel powerful. it is been the great because of her life. but you have to ask, do a lot of voters agree with her on that? is, there a massive national constituency for more iraq invasions? we've seen the polling on that. in a word, no. there's not a massive national constituency for liz cheney's foreign policy. just the opposite, in fact. people who live outside of d.c. do not support more pointless wars thatsi do nothing for united states or its core interests. they are not eager to send their kids to die for eastern ukraine. in the answer is, they'

>> reporter: liz cheney's fortitude may come from her father. >> there is one man in particular we allo certainly has taught me what it means to have the courage of your convictions. >> reporter: that was cheney back in 2010 talking about her father, dick cheney. and how the former vice president shaped her political views. >> everything about liz cheney is baked into what her father did before her. >> reporter: liz cheney was born to dick and lynn cheney in 1966 in madison, wisconsin. she attended colorado college as an undergraduate. then, before going to university of chicago law school, she worked for the state department for five years. later, she ran for the senate. >> today, i am launching my candidacy for the united states senate. >> reporter: in her 2014 run, she spoke out against same-sex marriage, despite the fact her younger sister mary married a woman. >> i do believe in the traditional definition of marriage. >> reporter: she has since changed her position. >> i was wrong. i was wrong. i love my sister very much. >> reporter: liz cheney ended up dropping out of that senat

plus, liz cheney's actions have repercussions. meet the republican looking to unseat her in wyoming's primary next. ♪ ♪ >> laura: adam schiff, to put it kindly, perpetually struggles with telling the truth. so he was a perfect fit to help lead the january 6th committee. click it's take a trip -- let's take a trip, shelby, tom emmer elaine? he trapped on my the transcript of the ukraine call to make drums on like a mobster. he even read the phony steele dossier into the record. and he deducted a text message sent to mark meadows in order to smear one of his fellow lawmakers. >> we could cue the first graphic. this one reads "on january 6th, 2021, vice president mike pence, as president of the senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all." it you can see why this is so critical to ask mr. meadows about. about a lawmaker suggesting that the former vice president simply throw out votes. >> laura: the congressman who sent that text was jim jordan and schiff conveniently

adam kinzinger and liz cheney. so out goes jim jordan, out goes jim banks that might actually look into -- if anyone request a guard, why didn't you call them on? they might want to talk to the whistle-blower that was saying they were told to stand down. by the way, and comes liz and adam. where is the committee that is looking into the summer of 2020 writing? adam and liz, they have one obvious goal here. their goal is to purge the republican party of donald trump and his supporters and make it impossible for trump to run again for president. that, sadly, it's what they are doing here that's what i have no faith in the committee, that's why it is a sham, that's why it is the latest witch hunt. we have had how many witch hunts for how many years? last night in a weak attempt to smear yours truly, and presumably i guess president trump, congresswoman cheney presented one of my text messages from january 6th to mark meadows. surprise, surprise, surprise, i said to mark meadows the exact same thing i was saying live o

she, liz cheney, has been derelict in duty.re are no criminal statues whatsoever that apply to this former president donald trump. none, period. if they are, they are hiding with weapons of mass destruction in iraq. there aren't. this committee is violating the bill of rights and due process. this committee is on a criminal hunt to get people embarrassed. why would you have a vote for criminal contempt on a serious issue like executive privilege that applies to former president of the united states. the supreme court said so. separation of powers carries forward whether you are president now or later. they are holding people in contempt. the fraud who is the attorney general who wants to put parents in jail using the patriot act, he indicts steve bannon and wants to indict other people. this is an issue before several judges that has to be adjudicated. the extent of executive privilege. we have two obama judges and one biden judge and they say the current president hasn't asserted. he is in the best position. no he's not. that

i want to read the analysis of the specific language liz cheney is using. missed it but what cheney was doing here was pointing to a specific criminal statute, a felony. 18 u.s. code 1512, she suggests donald trump might have violated. cheney's comment matches the language of the statute. it sats, whoever object trukts influences or impedes any official proceeding should be fined or imprisoned. that official proceeding is including a proceeding before the congress. your thoughts? >> liz cheney went straight to the heart of the matter. it was, i think, a little bit surprising, nicolle. it sort of took my breath away because she sent not a message. she simply signalled that she expects that the january 6th committee will send a criminal referral on the former president of the united states to the justice department at the end of these proceedings. right now, we are talking about contempt charges with witnesses who are refusing to testify. liz cheney indicated she believes they will have evidence to make this referral asking d.o.j. to prosecute the former pres

and what they have done to liz cheney and kinsinger, i think on truth serum.d exactly like liz cheney does, makes it seem so in the last 20 years, but she must be purged, must be destroyed, i'm sure they'll give air time to her primary challengers and i wonder where you think that takes us, not just fox enabling trump and trumpism, but being willing participants in purging people, not who they disagree with, not on anything, not on 9/11, not on foreign policy, not on anything, just on the question of trump. >> look, you know, i think any healthy system or organization, if it's a country, news organization, needs to of checks and balances. needs to have some system in place to acknowledge its own mistakes and recover from them to adjust course, to find the truth and get back to it. and the current function here with trump in his party, in the purging, look, this is a mentality which you simply can't disagree with the president, the ex-president, and have a career in conservative politics or even a big career in conservative media. in fact, john goldberg has his

now last night, vice chair liz cheney read a number of texts of people begging the former president tol off the attack on the capitol as it was happening, including the former president's own son, don jr., as well as three fox news hosts. all of whom have since then down played trump's role in the insurrection. here's liz cheney, and i have to warn our viewers, these contain profanty. >> quote, mark, the president needs to tell people in the capitol to go hope. this is hurting all of us. he is destroying his legacy. laura ingram wrote. please get him on tv. destroying everything you have accomplished, ryan texted. quote, can he make a statement? ask people to leave the capital, sean hannity urged. one of the president's sons said quote, he's got to condemn this shit asap. the capitol police tweet is not enough. donald trump jr. texted again and again, urge action by the president. quote, we need an oval office address. he has to leave now. it has gone too far. and gotten out of hand. >> and at a hearing earlier today, cheney read texts from our fellow republicans to meadows asking him

liz cheney and adam kinzinger. but will check on. that paul butler, as you watch what is going on and now this goes to the doj, is it similar or is it completely different than that consideration of what should happen to steve bannon? >> it's pretty much the same, except that mark meadows is even a more compelling witness. he's already provided the committee with tax and documents that suggests he was down and gritty with donald trump on january 6th. but now meadows refuses to talk, even about the evidence he's provided the committee. the committee has heard testimony from more than 300 witnesses and obtained over 35,000 documents, but meadows's testimony could be key to holding the insurrectionists and their congressional enablers and oval office enablers accountable. and chris, if meadows is ultimately found to be in criminal contempt, he faces a minimum sentence of a month in prison. it could be up to a year. but here's the thing, the panel would much rather have his testimony. so, tonight's vote could be the ultimate pressure for

people like liz cheney will soon liz her wyoming primary. would prefer the voters could out him. it will both end up probably as msnbc product commentators. they'll both become democrat lackeys like nicole wallace, bill kristol, the whole crowd. largely irrelevant with no real constituency. pretty handsomely paid. the real big lie is the expansive narrative of january 6th. these clowns have made the center of the political existence. so it's time to face facts. shutdown the false narrative entry cheney and her class the american people treat them by tuning them out. jenna me now is byron. also with me ohio congressman jim jordan was the house district community ranking member. let's go to you first. my tweets, i think is one of the first people on twitter who were known to be supportive of president trump to really put that message out there i believe but i might be wrong one of the first. did they get a look at any of the public statements on this? >> obviously not the important thing is that they were public and other we know since yesterday what you said in private texts, we c

but that's what liz cheney is doing. she is absolutely fearless on this.is, she really has put politics aside. she is a one issue politician right now. this is about democracy. >> she's speaking right now. let's take a listen. >> -- understanding the serious nature of the situation. madam speaker, we wish we had another alternative. we wish that we did not have to meet today to urge our colleagues to put vote -- vote criminal contempt for one of our former colleagues and the former chief of staff to president trump. we don't take this step lightly. as my colleagues have noted and will no doubt say again today, for weeks the committee has worked with mr. meadows, with his counsel, to reach an agreement on cooperation. to reach an agreement on accommodation. now the reality, madam speaker, is the accommodations process is a process that takes place between the legislative branch and the executive branch. mr. meadows is a member of neither. and yet the committee has taken the extra step of working to try to make sure that we do everything we can to secure mr.

gr says liz cheney last night. says liz cheney today.he the vice chair of the investigation is repeatedly asking that question. to make the case for how important it is to talk to mark meadows.e she's repeatedly asking that question about the criminal culpability of former president donald trump. and i'm saying the phrase criminal culpability here because the language she is quoting there in that clunky turn of phrase which she is deliberately repeating, that turn of phrase is from a federal criminal statute. 18 u.s. code section 1505. "whoever corruptly influences, obstructs or impedes the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the united states shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than five years or if the s offense involves international or domestic terrorism imprisoned by not more than eight years." this is a federal crime that the vice chair of the investigation says it is inquiring about when it comes to mr. t

liz cheney is a constant target tonight on fox news, so what's the answer?reement with the congressman there. i don't think that donald trump contained the party, i think donald trump revealed the party. these people are what they want to be. the republican party is very comfortable being an autocratic movement now. that's hard for a lot of us who worked in the party to come to grips with, but i don't know any other conclusion to come to in any kind of honest, intellectual sense. they are about the business of changing what we've always known as american democracy. there was a plot to end the peaceful transition of power, and mitch mcconnell surely knew about this powerpoint. he did nothing. it's at a point that really is almost unimaginable for us. >> and what is the motivation, juanita, if they're looking at a midterm set of elections that they think they're going to take back the house and the senate? >> that's the sole motivation. align ourselves with trump to tap into his urban base. that's why mccarthy, just days after the january 6 attack, wanted to k

why do you think liz cheney seems to bother them so much? >> that's a great question, john. representative cheney is representing republicans on the january 6th committee, which i think is great. what we need to get to is the truth. and if the truth shows the president was involved, then we need to know that. if this committee exonerates the president, great. again, we need to have republicans represented and we need to see the truth. >>> what does it tell you the two we heard from are so uncomfortable with liz cheney? >> well, that's frustrating. i saw some of those messages. you know, listen, a lot what was happening january 6th. we had not seen that before. people will sometimes say and do things they didn't really mean. in the situation you to discuss it, what is the meaning behind it. is there a bigger picture we need to know about? or was it just misspoken messages. again, that's the purpose of this committee, and i do hope we get to the truth on it. >> what do you think as you see more and more of these text messages? what is your opinion as we have seen them so far? >

they may have doubted liz cheney's ability, they may have doubted liz cheney's power on the committeet democrats aren't republicans. so democrats of course opened the doors wide and said come on in. republicans can't fathom she is a full partner to bennie thompson, they couldn't fathom she could be in the committee and out donald trump and his accomplices in congress. i think they know that's what's about to happen. this whole egg is about to crack open on all of theiris pass. and mitch mcconnell needs to scoot over to the other side, at least to the middle. >> i don't think this is psycho babble at all. i think it is key to understanding their actions and their enabling of him over the past half decade now. all -- not all of them. some of these people are soio pathic trumpers. mitch mcconnell, say what you want about him, he knows that donald trump's actions between the election and january 6th were completely out of bounds. he know has the anti-vaxx stuff with his party as somebody who the vaccine saved were out of bounds. he knew donald trump's five years were out of bounds. we alw

i don't think liz cheney likes us. i've tried my best. i really hard, tried to be -- don't think she likes us. i don't think she likes us. i don't know why. >> my heart goes. better. i'm losing sleep. laura: i wanted to make sure you were okay and the grief counseling was -- >> i'm going to my happy place. it's called tito's. laura: compose your self. i am laura ingraham, the january 6th committee continues to embarrass itself. adam schiff was caught fabricating a text message from jim jordan to mark meadows, speaking of january 6th our dear friend liz cheney, and her alliance with democrats punished members of her own party has repercussions, tonight we speak to the woman who lost a primary against her in wyoming plus the dnc hell the holiday party last night. you were not there? nancy and joe were showing their page in seen and unseen but first we won't be fooled again, that is the focus of tonight's angle. if there is one thing most americans agree on, they are tired of covid, 60% feel worn out by the pandemic. of those 36% said they f

i will note that liz cheney keeps repeating a number which i really love, and that's 183. that was the number of minutes trump waited before he did anything. she keeps repeating it because of of this lie that now mark meadows is telling that the president responded somehow expeditiously or appropriately. which we know not to be the case. and of course there are a bunch of congressmen who have a problem too because some of these texts came from members of congress. and we heard last night, we heard today on the floor that there are a whole bunch of texts from members of congress, i can guarantee you they're republicans, both before january 6th and on january 6th about the attempt to overthrow the election. and that is going to get really interesting. >> yeah. your point there. when laura ingraham says this is hurting all of us, which the charitable interpretation is like the republic, the whole country. the uncharitable is like all the people that got on this bandwagon that are associated with this sociopath that you're enabling. and he is destroying his legacy. kilmeade sa

you played a lot of liz cheney's comments during the show tonight.rtant because if democrats are worried about this, it is vital that they work with republicans with whom they disagree. if democrats say, wait a second, i can't work with him or her because he has a position on abortion or taxes or climate change, the way to stop anti-democratic movements, all the scholars tell us, is to have cross-ideological coalitions fighting. liz cheney believes in fair elections, it seems, so do nearly all democrats. they can fight later over who wins elections. but what we need to have happen first is actually elections in the united states where the people who get the most votes get the electoral votes from that state. >> she makes your point because she lost her leadership gig for speaking out on issues just like this. david leon heart, thank you so much. the essay is terrific and i hope people read it. what are your thoughts. tweet me. i love looking at it during the course of the program. this has just come in. where am i headed this time? oh, wow, very cool

>> liz cheney doesn't have the ability to make decisions about prosecuting. bully pulpit. she has the ability to gather information. and ultimately, the bipartisan committee that she's a part of will have the ability to make a referral to the justice department if they believe they've developed evidence of a crime. and it sure looks like liz cheney, even at this early point, believes that they're headed towards, at a minimum, evidence of obstruction of a government proceeding. so katie, you and i have both been here, you're in a long, complicated trial, you think the jury's attention may have wandered, so you do something to wake them up, i smack the table loudly. liz cheney has smacked the table loudly. there will be implications for the former president. like harry, think this was a strongly telegraphed message and it's hope for people who had given up on seeing accountability for the former administration. >> harry, joyce talks about accountability. do you think it's even worth the committee's time and effort to even try to subpoena former president donald

i think people like liz cheney, why isn't liz cheney looking into the 500 plus riots that took placecities across the country in 2020? >> this is an insurrection on the capitol. i mean, what? maybe they are so twisted they don't realize what actual journalism is, that they're supposed to be doing. >> this is the story getting bigger over time. >> they didn't even air it tonight. >> they didn't, neither did news max. sean hannity interviewed mark meadows on the air and didn't bring up the relationship. i think what we're getting at is there is a reason this is being shoved down the memory hole over at fox. because it is so shameful. because this was a domestic terror attack. because our lawmakers were terrorized that day and it's embarrassing for the country. no wonder they try to stuff it down memory hole. these men and women at fox promoted the big lie and help d cause the fire and they all of a sudden try to call the fire department to stop it. no wonder they're embarrassed by what they helped cause. >> yeah. >> if they're capable and that's unknown. >> don, you just talked to -- >

liz cheney understands that. >> two more things on liz cheney. all the things you said were right. two more things. she understands -- as dan just said, she understands the implications of it, the stakes. >> right. >> in a profound way. you can hear it in everything she says, in the not even just a fight about trump or trumpism. it is a fight about the future of american democracy. it is a fight about the soul of the country, whether the country stays what we all were raised to believe it is. >> right. >> and she's someone who plays the way you just described and she right now has nothing left to lose. that makes her incredibly powerful. she's rational. she knows that in this republican party, the one we live in today. she has no future. i think that little bit rates her in a profound way. there is no more dangerous player on the field than the one that's going for broke because there is no tomorrow. for her politically -- as we sit here now -- she imagines a world where there is a political future forrer. but she knows right now she has no future in the party. no. that gives here

but let's be clear about what was revealed last night as liz cheney was reading those texts. i think what got exposed above all else is the total and complete fraud that donald trump, his allies in the white house, like mark meadows and others, and his allies in the media on fox news, the fraud that they have perpetuated on their voters, on their audience. there's a huge swath of the country that has bought into donald trump's big lie and what these text messages expose, i think above all else, is they knew they were selling a lie. it's right there. they understood, because they understood the severity of what was going on and urging the president to stop it. so, they understood what the lie had caused. and that, i think, is a new reading of that horrific day. >> and congressman, let me bring that to you and the question is now, what is the consequence now that we all know that the hosts over on fox were selling something that they did not believe. what consequence is there? because the people who buy the big lie are watching fox, and i have watched their report several times

republicans who are not adam ki kinzinger or liz cheney is calling it a takedown of donald trump.t is inaction by the president, and it makes you wonder what doj is waiting for. perhaps this. perhaps this commission. to finally, you know, lob some charges over at trump and the folks who were around him on that day. it seems very clear, i think, to people watching that he did not follow the law and perhaps problem the law. >> laura, before we get to the aspect of the relationships with the fox news hosts who were clearly pleading with mark meadows, the most dramatic piece they unveiled last night were these texts from donald trump jr. so what does it say to you that he was going to the chief of staff, doesn't appear directly to his dad. we don't know whether or not he directly appeared to his own father, but he was going to the chief of staff at the time to try to get him to get through to his dad about this. >> so i don't have a psychology degree. i can't speak to sort of the bizarre father/son dynamics happening there. again, it does speak to sort of the facade that has been crea

i know what liz cheney's motives are. she wants to purge the party of donald trump.ocrats have subpoenaed former trump advisers and staffers, one includes mark meadows. o he's tried to comply. at this point he's using executive privilege. he's written a new book. i read it cover to cover. i love it. it on amazon.com if you want a first edition copy. it's in book stores everywhere and hannity.com. the chief's chief is with us. mark meadows. let's start with january 6. did donald trump want -- this is the same trump that up that said many of you will peacefully and patriotically march to the capitol so your voices may be heard. that same guy. did he or did he not ask for the national guard knowing that there would be big crowds in d.c. beforehand? >> well, sean, you reported on this before. it doesn't get much attention. i can tell you that not only did donald trump want to make sure that the n national guard was available, he repeated that a number of times. id think there's a number of people that he's communicated with that can back me up on that particular assessme

liz cheney spoke on the house floor. said and then we'll talk. >> all of these texts are non-privileged, they are texts that mr. meadows has turned over and they are evidence of president trump's supreme dereliction of duty for 187 minutes and mr. meadows testimony will bear on another fundamental question before this committee and that is whether donald j. trump through action or inaction, corruptly sought to obstruct or impede congress' official proceeding to count electoral votes. >> what she's saying there corruptly sought to obstruct or impede an official proceeding, she's now repeated that a few times. she's referencing a criminal statute. >> 19 usc, section 1512, don, yes. this is a statute that the justice department has used or attempted to use with a number of the actual insurrectionists. it tends to be historically used for witness tampering type things. we've never had an attempt to stop certification of the electoral college votes. we never had this kind of violence in the capitol. so doj is using this statu

doesn't mean he is in the clear though. >> the most important thing for last year, liz cheney making sure, or at least opening the door to the idea that what happened during these hours may have been a crime. inside the white house. >> liz csehheney said something that made my prosecutorial ears perk up. did donald trump, through action or inaction, correctly seek to obstruct or impede congress' proceedings? sounds legalistic. guess what? it is. here's a federal crime for objection of congress. to impede the administration of the law by congress. it almost seemed like she was reading out of the statute book. one of the important things the january 6th committee can do is make a criminal referral over to doj, saying, doj, we believe there may have been crimes here. again, ultimately, the charge of whether to bring criminal charges is up to merrick garland. up to the justice department. >> this is the most important thing. for all the talk about who said what, what fox person said this, that and the other thing, this is the most important thing here. this is the law. this committee may,

i am just looking at liz cheney's remarks tonight.d trump direction, or inaction, corrupt will and seek to impede congress's official proceedings? well that is not something that you want to find out the idle curiosity or correct historical record. she is using language that they are discovering crimes. and she is talking explicitly about crimes, alleged crimes, by the former president. she raised the prospect that some members and witnesses of the investigation who have been asserting their fifth amendment rights against incriminating rights, is because they are anticipating criminal prosecution. and in describing members of congress is having taking part of those parts of the scheme that are potentially criminal. it seems like they have opened one a whole new kind of warms here we're in terms of potential criminal liability, not just for the officials, but currently serving members. >> yes. and you've already seen some people actually being prosecuted for real crimes. i think we forget that because, at this point, it is mark meadows

i want to know where is liz cheney?ney that is now partnered with the people that called her father a war criminal and a murderer and a crook. and all this work with halliburton. liz cheney seems like washington only cares about one riot, the one that impacted them. what about the 535 riots? what about the smash and grabs? where the committee investigations into these incidents. in the summer of 2020, we had dozens of americans dead, thousands of cops hurt, billions of dollars in property damage, looting, and arson. where is liz cheney? i'm trying to find her. >> she's too busy issuing a generous six subpoena. people getting robbed. that is not liz cheney's thing. she doesn't have any time for that. in regards to the opening of your monologue or you are discussing how aoc -- watching on the tv right now i can see him return is not happening. this is all somehow and ask. i wonder, having run for office and have been the unfortunate experience of meeting a lot of politicians, i came up with a conclusion. they are one of t

the vice chair liz cheney adding a lot of new details to the january 6th committee. >> reporter: yeah, there's no doubt about that. and it goes to show just how much information the select committee has as it relates to mark meadows that we haven't seen, because it seems as though every day, they can roll out some new bombshell of information that shows directly the role that meadows played in the events leading up to and on january 6th. and tonight, they revealed some of the most damming yet. the message exchanges with members of congress, with personality from fox news, with the president's own children. i don't think there's any doubt anyth text exchange from donald trump jr to the chief of staff imploring him to convince his father to go out and make a public statement to try to quail the violence on capitol hill, and we know that the timeline of everything essentially the president ignoring even a plea from his son. this is all information that we did not have before. and it also plays in to this larger argument that the committee is making about the need for meadows to come in a

where is liz cheney?to find her. >> she's too busy issuing a generous six subpoena. -- january 6 subpoenas. people getting robbed. that is not liz cheney's thing. she doesn't have any time for that. in regards to the opening of your monologue or you are discussing how aoc -- watching on the tv right now i can see him return is not happening. this is all somehow and ask. -- an act. i wonder, having run for office and have been the unfortunate experience of meeting a lot of politicians, i came up with a conclusion. they are one of two things bear their mostly either really dumb orpe they are all liars. most of them are generally liars. they are when it comes to aoc and not all stupid. joe biden, i'm genuinely not sure if she is a. a she may actually believe none of this is actually happening. i'm not sure. really, like most politicians are just really good liars. but i'm not sure she is bright enough to figure out if what's happening there is really happening. one more quick notice, on a very serious note,

two republicans voted yes, liz cheney and kinzinger. every other republican voted no against allowing the congress to enforce the subpoena laws, which gives the congress the authority to call someone before them to answer questions if it's a matter that they believe has a legislative purpose and the committee believes their work in investigating january 6th is a key legislative purpose that will ultimately result in changes to the way congress does business and then to that end, what other information they find out about the attacks that happened on january 6th. this isn't a surprise, don. the big question is how long will it take the department of justice to deliberate whether or not they will prosecute this case, what we saw play out today is a recommendation. they write up a report and give the evidence and information they have to say they believe that an individual has ignored the rules of congress and not answered a subpoena correctly. it's up to prosecutors to determine whether or not that's a prosecutable offense. they thought t

liz cheney is the vice chair of the house committee investigating this attack on our democracy.nd listening to her read these texts aloud is as damning as it gets for donald trump and the fox news sycophants who suckle his flabby pink teats. >> quote, "mark, the president needs to tell people in the capitol to go home. this is hurting all of us. he is destroying his legacy," laura ingram wrote. >> there was certainly a lot of violence that day, but it was not a terrorist attack. wasn't 9/11, wasn't the worst thing that ever happened to america, it wasn't an insurrection. >> "can he make a statement, ask people to leave the capitol?" sean hannity urged. >> why isn't liz cheney looking into the 500-plus riots that took place in cities across the country in 2020? >> "please, get him on tv. destroying everything you have accomplished," brian kilmeade texted. >> why is it that every other network, if you took january 6th out of their rundown, they'd have a test pattern? this is all they cover. it's unbelievable. >> these text messages leave no doubt, the white house knew exactly what

he is the reason that liz cheney was able to read the texts aloud from donald trump jr. r from the normal allies at fox news of the former president, and given the committee a fresh burst of momentum. they had kind of been interviewing people behind the scenes. no one eweknew what their work do was doing from an outside perspective. and mitch mcconnell, he's also interested to see who is involved in all of this. >> how about liz cheney, having to be this not lone voice but pretty close to lone voice in the woods there, and reading her colleagues, her republican colleagues text messages outloud to make the case that they have to hold meadows in contempt, i mean, she has shown that she has a steely spine, but it can't be easy to do all of this. >> i don't think it's busy, but she's all in. stealy is the way to describe it, and it could cost her her congressional seat. there's no pretending that's not a problem for her, but she's made a decision which is that the country is more important to her than her congressional seat. i think you're going to continue to see liz cheney

i think people like liz cheney, why isn't liz cheney looking into the 500 plus riots that took place in cities all across the country in 2020? thousands of americans, reince priebus, killed, thousands of cops injured, billions of dollars in property damage, arson, and looting, not a word. they kicked jim jordan off the committee, jim banks off the committee, they put trump haters on there like liz cheney, who has one mission. she has now aligned herself with the people that called her father a war criminal, a murderer, and a crook. and now supports the weakest foreign policy in american history, just to purge the party of trump. any part of that wrong? >> no. reality is that the january 6th committee is a show. a lot of the congressional investor congressional investigatory committees are just a show, and i think people forget the u.s. attorney in the district of columbia by the name of mike sherwin already investigated all of this. and the department of justice, u.s. attorney, has looked at all of it. do you remember the "60 minutes" interview he did several months ago? this has alr

people like liz cheney will soon lose her wyoming primary. and danziger, quick before the voters can oust them but they will end it probably as msnbc commentators, they will both become democrat lackeys like nicole wallace, bill kristol, the whole crowd, largely irrelevant, with no real constituency but pretty handsomely paid. so the real big lie is the expensive narrative of january 6th, that they've made the center of their political existence so it is time to face facts, shutdown the false narrative and treat cheney and her class the way the american people treat them, by tuning them out. joining me now as byron york, fox news contributor, chief political correspondence was also with me a while congressman jim jordan, house judiciary committee ranking member. let's go to you first. my tweet. i was one of the first people on twitter known to be supportive of donald trump to put that message out there i believe. i might be wrong but i think i was one of the first. do they care to look at any of the public statements on this? >> obviously not

liz cheney tweeting, quote, the committee already met with 300 witnesses.hear from four more key figures in the investigation today. we are conducting multiple depositions and interviews every week. nbc news learn the four witnesses complainy referenced includes john eastman, author the memo designed to pressure mike pence to throw out the results of the election. as well as chris krebs chofs fired after declaring the election was the most secure in american history. liz cheney adds, quote, we have received exceptionally interesting and important documents from a number of witnesses, including mark meadows, he has turned over many texts from his private cell phone from january 6th. complainy adds, quote, do not be misled, trump is trying to hide what happened on january 6th and the delay and obstruct. we will not let that happen. the truth will come out. over on the obstruction side, the committee announcing that a vote will take place tuesday to find mark meadows in contempt of congress and refer him for potential criminal charges for failing to comply wit

says liz cheney today. the vice chair has repeatedly asked that question. to make the case for how important it is to talk to mark meadows. she has repeatedly asked that question about the criminal culpability of former president donald trump. and by saying, for phrase, criminal culpability, because the language he is quoting there in that clunky turn of raids that she is deliberately repeating, that turn of frates's from a statute. 18 u.s. code section 15 oh. five whoever corruptly influences obstruct or impede the endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due to a proper administration of the law under which any proceedings is being had, must be fined in prison for five years or if the infants of all this international or domestic terrorism imprisoned not for more than eight years. this is a federal crime that the vice chair of the investigation says it is inquiring about when it comes to mr. trump. and they would like to question mr. meadows about whether or not mr. trump committed that crime. all right. because if somebody corruptly obstructed or

and that's the role i think liz cheney is trying to play on the committee against long odds. is trying to communicate to republicans. that's why when she talks, she often talks about what republicans said that day, what fox news hosts said that day, and she's trying to remind them that this should not be a partisan investigation. it should not be a partisan issue, that you all once agreed with me about how serious january 6th was and the need to investigate it. >> is she having any success doing that? because right now she appears to be a champion, a hero for those on the left. and besides adam kikinzinger, i don't see any republicans listening to her, though she should. >> you're right. it's a tall task, and when there was the bannon vote, she did have seven republicans join her for the bannon vote. that was, as you pointed out, a bit of a different situation. steve bannon didn't come in at all to talk to the committee. he didn't produce any documents, and also, he doesn't have the kind of connections on capitol hill that mark meadows does. mark meadows was a congressman for
