what a low point for speaker mccarthy. what a low point for fox news. as reporting on the dominion lawsuit shows, mr. carlson had no problem admitted behind the scenes that the big lie is pure garbage. when sidney powell pent on the air to push the stolen -- went on the air to push the stolen election narrative, mr. carlson told fellow anchor laura ink ram that -- laura laura ingrahame was laying. his own producer texts, quote, i don't any there is evidence of voter fraud that someone the election. they know full well they've been lying. and they're doing it anyway. we all, americans of all types and stripes and corners of this country, democrats, republicans, independents, need to take a stand and call out mr. carlson's conduct for what it is, a dangerous, unforgivable attempt to destabilize our democracy and rewrite the history of the worst attack on our constitution since the civil war. it's an insult to every police officer who was on the scene that terrible, fearful day. it's an insult to the memory of every single person who perished in connection

speaker mccarthy was here that day. he knows what actually happened. his staff and members suffered like everyone else. but he chose cheap political expediency over truth and preservation of democracy. i condemn mr. carlson for siding with the enemies of democracy. i strongly condemn speaker mccarthy's actions, and fiercely oppose his decision to share this foot and with -- footage with carlson. i urge fox news to order carlson to cease propagating the big lie on the network, and to level with their viewers about the truth, the truth behind the efforts to mislead the public. conduct like theirs is just asking for another january 6. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell expressed concern with how fox news depicted the attack when speaking to reporters. he stated he was in agreement with the capitol police chief's description of how the events took place on january 6. >> with regard to the presentation on fox news last night, i want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the capitol police about what happened on january 6. >> g

and speaker mccarthy is every bit as culpable as mr. carlsen.peaker mccarthy's decision to share the security footage with fox look like a mistake from the very beginning, but after last night, it looks like a disaster. speaker mccarthy has played a treacherous game by catering to the hard right. he has enabled the big lie and has further eroded away our precious democracy. when people don't believe elections are on the level, that is the beginning of the end of this bold experiment in democracy that has gone on for more than 200 years. it's all the more shameful because speaker mccarthy knows precisely what kind of customer mr. carlson is. he is not surprised by this outcome. what a low point for speaker mccarthy. what a low point for fox news. as reporting on the dominion lawsuit shows, mr. carlson had no problem admitting behind the scenes that the big lie is pure garbage. when sidney powell went on the air to push the stolen election narrative, mr. carlson told fellow anchor anchor laura ingraham that sydney powell is lying. his words, by th

i think kevin mccarthy is doing a great job. the only problem is he doesn't have any power to get anything done, regarding the congress and with the country has been facing, the persecution of president. i am a maga supporter and i want to make clear to the donors of the republican party that you will not win an election without maga. you will not win a house without maga. you cannot win a senate without manda. you can put billions of dollars into a campaign but without getting us voters to get out and vote, we are not going to vote. when we don't vote, nobody is winning in the republican party because we are tired of them. another thing is, we are done with the republican party. we are sick of them. they are powerless and they don't get with the people are saying. we are tired with the establishment. we want the old rhinos gone. we need somebody with strength and intelligence and the smarts to get us out of the mess that biden has put this country in. that is all i have got to say. host: in terms when it comes to motivating mag

mccarthy: i call them savings. if you just added $6 trillion and if you increase discretionary spending by 30% and you created inflation in america, the only way to stop that is to be able to curve it. i've given the president many ideas. how can you limit, how can you save and how can you grow? how would you limit? we've got billions of dollars sitting out there that had been doer phapblt for more than two years -- dormant for more than two years that people have not spent. why don't you save the taxpayer money and pull that back? how can we help the supply chain? how can we make -- help people get back to work, give them the training they even inned others? well, you could put work requirements for able-bodied people with no depenalties. that means if they're going -- depenalties. that means -- dependents. that means if they're going school, looking for a job, they're fine, but we can help the supply chain work back. we can grow the economy. how would we grow the economy? h.r. 1 is one of those abilities to do th

mccarthy had a slight lead. in my mind, the last speaker had command of the house while mccarthy has got one foot out the door. he is deathly afraid of his people. they eat their own. turning over all that video of the january 6 two not the entire press but to a right-wing outlet , he is so afraid of getting voted out. there is a saying. if you want to clean the neighborhood, start with cleaning your house. he has got santos and he's afraid to mention that name. that is one less vote he has. whenever he talks about being bipartisan, that's all theory. host: you talked about the comparison to speaker ryan. breitbart brought that up. they were talking about his approval rating in mid-march, comparing that to paul ryan at a similar point. what did you think of speaker ryan? caller: i thought that he was a very partisan guy. nothing like this guy. this guy is in fear while speaker ryan was a negotiator. i don't think you have to fear mr. mccarthy. we are talking about the vote on extending the debt ceiling. you don'

these january six tips, why today is kevin mccarthy speaking out? what can you tell us about his particular relationship with tucker carlson? you did that to all of fox news, sean hannity, laura ingraham, but what about tucker? >> today, he was founded by reporters, for days, and days, and is addressing the report on capitol hill. obviously, we spoke to them last week and in the telephone interview is they did the decision to give it to tucker. but, the politics are simple. tucker carlson is the most powerful voice on cable news for the hard right. that is the constituency that kevin mccarthy needs to keep happy. tucker carlson has been critical of kevin mccarthy, say, whose me constituency was the lobbyists of washington. really, it is a symbol, as he wants to do a favor for tucker to keep him happy, and to keep him off his back. the politics are not that complicated here. even said, it's an exclusive for tucker, once he has his way with it, then you guys will have it. he has told us, in the media, we would be able to go down to this room and view

and that is the constituency kevin mccarthy needs to keep happy. tucker carlson has been critical of kevin mccarthy, and he said his main constituency was the lobbyist in washington d.c.. and so it really is as simple as, he wants to do a favor for tucker carlson to keep him happy, and keep him off his back. the politics are not that complicated here. even having said that, it's an exclusive for tucker. once tucker has his way with it, then you guys can have access to it. he has told us in the media that we would be able to go down to this room and view the tapes for ourselves once tucker gets through with them. but, yeah there's a lot of concern on capitol hill about what tucker carlson is going to do with these tapes. particularly, i hear concern about how he will use some of the footage of some of the police officers, and whether there will not be and just stirred up among the right-wing base against individual officers. >> isn't that even bananas, mark? you have the speaker of the house touting exclusive to tucker carlson -- exclusive is what d

that is all that kevin mccarthy is. what is most remarkable to me, anderson, is the american people saw what happened that day. you cannot ignore those images. and yet, the power of repetition is such that people like tucker carlsen, who know that they are lying to the public, can convince tens of millions of people of those lies. i will tell you that it has been really illuminating to me about other periods in history where you had other liars use a powerful megaphone, and convince millions that they can't believe what d. c.. and you wonder how is that possible? and now we see how it is possible when you have people who have no love of country, no patriotic fiber, when it is just all about the money, then this is what happens. and for tucker carlson, who has many iterations, he's no different than rupert murdoch, it is all about the money and nothing else really matters. >> congressman schiff, adam kinzinger, i appreciate your time. more now on the dominion documents that we have been following and what they reveal. th

>> speaker mccarthy was delightful. >> mccarthy's latest stunt comes just one day after congresswoman marjorie taylor greene announced that she would be leading a congressional -- dc jail to visit january 6th defendants tomorrow. greene has repeatedly expressed police that the insurrectionists are actually political prisoners, and we know that part of kevin mccarthy's deal with the devil to ensure his speakership involved promising green that congress would take up the insurrectionist cause. but the republican attacks on the rule of law don't and there. earlier this week, house republicans sent a letter to manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg, threatening to haul him in front of congress for daring to investigate donald trump for potential crimes. today, bragg's office responded calling that republican letter unprecedented and writing, quote, the letter only came after donald trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day, and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. neither fact is illegitimate basis for congressional inquiry. congresswoman zoe lof

things are going better for mccarthy. there is a widespread optimism that they have the majority and the chairmanship and sending out subpoenas. i would caution that the easy stuff has happened and have a harder stuff happens. they have to negotiate the spending deal with president biden. there may be warning signs ahead. host: we saw the president call for republicans to release their budget in light of him releasing his. we're republicans on that? guest: president joe biden was late on his budget and republicans have an opportunity. they will say they are in no rush. there seems to be some discrepancy among the house committee chair and speaker mccarthy. the house said they will release a term sheet. and republicans might not want to raise the debt limit. a little bit of confusion. we will hear that more clarity hopefully. they said it's a complex process that will take a little while. we can expect a counterproposal in the coming months. host: also a list of demands, what kind of things are they looking for? guest: rep

why is this being sort of mainstreamed by someone in a position of power like mccarthy? it seems that there has to be some check when you're using your power to align with these forces. >> well, look, i mean, ashley babbitt's mother went through a horrible tragedy losing her child. i think we can all be sympathetic to that loss. there was an injustice, and the injustice was the president of the united states incited people to attack the capitol, and tragically, she lost her daughter during that attack on the capitol. that's the injustice that kevin mccarthy recognized at the time. but now he wishes to deny. and so he is aligning himself with people that believe that those who attack police are somehow the victims. this is a very trumpian thing. it shows his continuing dominant influence on the gop. and that is when you commit an offense, when you abuse your office, when you incite an attack, you never go on the defense. you just attack the other side. you try to flip the script. the insurrectionists here in trump's view are the heroes. and sadly, mccarthy is aligning him

we saw what speaker mccarthy said i'd like to note, speake mccarthy didn't have to sa anything >> speakeral this power and he's talkin about the power of the federal government it's a threat to the manhattan prosecutor he said we're gonna use th funds -- that may have supporte something like that. so, if you look at the federal funding. had is that filter down to local law enforcement to local prosecutors. this is a threat from kevi mccarthy it should be read that way in the same vein, marjorie taylor greene is saying is basically show that sh understand what happened the last time donald trump calle for a protest. we also on january six if something like that were to happen again after he made the call, the strength of th federal prosecutor, jack smith's argument about incitin a riot if he makes tha argument in an indictment or prosecution, and it makes it all the stronger >> charlie, i want to bring yo in your. what is your reporting telling you, from the manhattan d.c.'s office declined to comment what is the chatter if there i any. and when it comes to multipl investigations into the

does it make sense what mccarthy is doing? >> no. it makes sense as a purely pr act to placify, to play indicate tucker carlson and to play indicate the maga base. but it doesn't make any sense from any other standpoint. for example, the idea that the defendants need this -- need this in order to defend themselves. well, the government already has this stuff. and if there is anything in there exculpatory, they're required to produce it. and under brady against maryland. and the fact of the matter is, what is it that it could possibly show that would help these defendants? i mean, for example, if you catch one defendant smearing feces on the walls of the capitol, and he later then uses the batter in another video and washes his hands, that doesn't get you off of what he did in the first place. and showing that i don't know what else they could possibly glean from it, showing that capitol police officers at some points allowed people to come in? well, they did that in part because they were trying to prevent a bloodbath. so i just don'

i am very worried that kevin mccarthy, the leader of the majority, or rather the speaker of the house of representatives of the united states of america, refused to come to ukraine. this may be an unpleasant bell for us , considering that in the republican party for several months, i would even said such unpleasant statements for us regarding aid to ukraine, even about the fact that it should be reduced, about the fact that it is necessary to somehow very strongly control where the money goes and, in general , should we give this money to ukraine if we have it for example, your border in the south. please tell me, this refusal of mccarthy to go to ukraine is bad, in fact, it is not a very good signal , it primarily indicates that we have increased diplomatic work, because mccarthy , after he fell out with trump and moved away from the arab wing he was considered a moderate republican, that is, he was really the one who proposed the transfer of additional checks, he was the one who proposed sending more monitoring sites to ukraine regarding the use of both financial and and military ai

mccarthy said he wanted to release the tapes. was asked that during the general time of the speaker's race. i don't think -- i don't think there was any agreement that said you need to release this to tucker carlson. i don't think that was part of it. the way it's been told to me based on my sources is that carlson was asking for it, and mccarthy knew he had to release it, and he released it to carlson. so i think that was the general -- the general order of events, and by the way, it's unprecedented, i would probably say is the right word to give 41,000 hours of footage to, you know, one news outlet. i think mccarthy has said in the past, well, you know, the committee gave stuff to cnn, to nbc, to the january 6th committee. i don't think that's analogous. they gave them the footage. they allowed them to review the footage in a room here on capitol hill, and then they ran their piece a couple of nights ago. so i think that's -- that is relatively unprecedented. >> one of the reasons that january 6th happened was because of these

not with a republican house, speaker mccarthy, kevin mccarthy has made that clear., you know, to, you know, listen to some of those comments, you know, in the wake of the shooting is swrus, it's -- just, it's always stunning to hear it. when you're standing there, and you see it afterwards, it's still stunning to hear. >> i guess the way some of the answers came out, no, i don't think there's any room, no feeling, no connection. i don't know what's in that person's head. the feeling that comes from the words doesn't seem to connect to the fact that three kids just died. let me ask you about what is at the root of it, though. for a long time, people will just say it's the nra, bought by the nra, bought by the gun lobby. this is why they're in congress. didn't want to lose their power, didn't want to lose their money. is it the voters, and if it's the voters, considering there's so many voters across the country that support tougher gun measures, is it heavily gerrymandered districts full of single issue voters, that's really the problem. >> that's part of it. it's no

host: how to republicans view kevin mccarthy now?st: i think republicans realize they don't have another option. he was able to keep everyone together and so far things have run relatively smooth. so far no one's really great being. mccarthy as taking this strategy have bringing as many people to the table as he can. mccarthy has given each of them a collective leadership council and that's something where he brought back this counsel he major he's got these different groups there. things like the debt limit its several months don't the road that they're starting conversations now trying to get a sense of the numbers. we talk a lot about the six and the carrots mccarthy likes the carrots and it will be interesting to see if he can get other things done. host: you described these five groups to keep the peace talk about that. guest: some people find it funny. he was like a nonevent did you see that movies? but i think is just kind of anecdote that it acknowledges that car occur at the same point they actually have a bigger mission whi

when i asked mccarthy about what he said, mccarthy pushed back. >> let's be very clear when i said nonderstand whether it is a blank check or not. i don't have to go to ukraine and kyiv to see it. my point has been, i don't want a blank check for anything. >> it is a bit unclear about what he mean about no blank check. congress has approved the past aid to ukraine. there is a process that goes back and forth between congress and the executive branch, the white house. what exactly aid is needed for ukraine. the defense department comes and gives classified briefings so members can understand exactly what money is needed and where it is going. nevertheless, a sign of the challenges ahead and the new power dynamic on capitol hill with speaker mccarthy indicating here, no blank check and he has no plans to visit kyiv despite president zelenskyy's offer. >> invitation. right. thank you. up on capitol hill. would president zelenskyy ever speak directly with vladimir putin to end this war? when does he predict ukraine finally might be able to secure its freedom? we'll be back with more after

they have quite subpoenaed fiv republican members including dan congressman mccarthy now speaker mccarthy enoug them talk to the panel so this is just another ongoing moment in this investigation an another one where i am tol republican strategist ar really unhappy that this has been kept at the forefront some >> republican strategis may, be extremist not so much. okay, thank you so much juli from capitol hill. as those new condemnations calm, so do more questions about claims from fox news host, tucker carlson's cherry-picked january 6th footage. which aims to downplay the violence of the capitol. that would be called a particularly outlandish, false narrative centers on one bit o january six video circulatin on social media. my next guests claims abou that video has zero basis an fact >> this is what you got. [inaudible you saw there joining in our former lead investigator for the house january six committee, timothy. one of the very professional people that congressma thompson was talking about tim, good to see you again thank you for joining me and that video, people are chanting deat

. >>> republican house speaker kevin mccarthy pressed repeatedly today about his decision to hand overhours of video from january 6th to fox. overnight, pieces of that video described as peaceful and respectful. tonight, the capitol police chief outraged. some republican senators angry, too. and it all comes after speaker mccarthy himself said the day after january 6th that it was un-american, "the saddest day i've ever had serving as a member of this institution." jon karl tonight. >>> here in new york city, a deadly wall collapse. one worker killed, several injured when it came down. >>> the major move tonight by weight watchers. what the company is doing that may help give customers access now to key new prescription diet medications, including ozempic. so what this means. >>> and america strong tonight. the high school cheerleader, suddenly without her team, all alone at the competition. so, who filled the stands? you'll be cheering, too. >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. and we begin tonight with the horror discovered in mexico. two ameri

that was kevin mccarthy, not defending donald trump today but because, it was kevin mccarthy, he then donald trump's hush money payment to stephanie clifford, the actress known as stormy daniels. >> this is personal money no it >> -- the money came from the trump business and the business records that were falsified to label that money which is a crime, according to new york law. kevin mccarthy then, tried to insult manhattan district attorney men alvin bragg this way. >> what we see before us is a political game being played by levels this isn't just new york city, this is manhattan, a borough da. yeah, right. >> allen bag is not the district attorney for the entire city of new york, because the biggest city in america, actually, has five different district attorneys. unlike say, fresno, the biggest city in kevin mccarthy's congressional district, alvin bragg is the district attorney for 1.6 million people. that is more than double the number of people that speaker of the house kevin mccarthy represents in his central california district. and it is more people than live in nine state

speaker mccarthy talking about the code of conduct. are you speaking to speaker mccarthy or anyone on his team about the january 6 discussion? mr. jeffries: we'll continue to express our concern what has been said by chair thompson and joe morrelle and consistent what i said earlier. we talked about a whole host of things and i expressed our -- sorry. going back to the other side. reporter: are you pleased with how republicans are talking about and addressing china at this point? there's a bunch of hearings yesterday. the china select committee yesterday. are you pleased with the tenor of the conversation so far? mr. jeffries: it's my hope that the approach taken by the select committee on the strategic competition between the united states and the chinese communist party will be serious and sober and thoughtful in addressing the strategic challenges that our country confronts relative to our relationship with the chinese communist party. and if that happens, then the select committee will be in a position to perhaps present some ideas
