cnn's melanie zanona with with us now. mel what do they want?growing number of republicans are calling for liz cheney and adam kinzinger to be kicked off their other committee assignments for agreeing to join the january 6th select panel. there were murmurs over the last week. cnn's ryan nobles and i are both hearing from members and aides and sources saying this is getting to a point where we're going to potentially push leadership on this. now, kevin mccarthy and gop leaders actually don't have much of an appetite to go this route for a number of reasons. one of them being that speaker nancy pelosi could just reappoint them to those committees any way. the right flank is seen as a very important constituency for kevin mccarthy who wants to be speaker. at the end of the day he may feel he has no choice to go this route. so it's something we're keeping an eye on. the members come back today. they've been out of town. we'll keep an eye on it for sure. >> they have plum committee assignments. >> house arm services. these are big committee assignme

melanie campbell, president of the national coalition on black civic participation, and kurt bardella, adviser to the democratic congressional campaign committee. reverend, i'm going to start with you. i saw a little of the press conference after you met with the president, but give us a review for those who didn't see it. what came out of that meeting, what were the demands and the action plan that came out? >> well, the president met with eight of us of the national civil rights organizations, and it was scheduled for an hour. we met an hour and 40 minutes. basically, to tell him that after the supreme court decision of last week, that we are returning back to a state's rights kind of election system. where in effect it would be arizona's decision in supreme court gate, they're saying states had the right to decide on what election process they were going to use as long as people could vote even if it caused people a little inconvenience, they could vote anyhow. and we intended to fight to make sure senate bill 1 and the john lewis bill passed and we were going to do it by building

cnn capitol hill reporter melanie zanona joins me now. melanie, mccarthy, what's he trying to do here, strike some sort of impossible balance? >> reporter: yes, he has taken a really soft touch approach to handling these members. probably the calculation for mccarthy is he doesn't want to alienate this donald trump-aligned group of republicans who he likely will need if he wants to become speaker one day. he has told people around him he thinks it's better to keep these members in the fold than excommunicate them. >> to be clear, we're not talking about members with controversial statements. marjorie taylor greene compares covid regulations to the holocaust. >> reporter: also, it's not just greene. paul gosar spoke at a conference of a known white nationalist. other members, louie gohmert, greene have been floating this conspiracy theory that the fbi was involved in the january 6 attack, so there is some concern within the party that if leaders don't do more to stamp out these brush fires it is going to engulf the entire party. >> trump i

we're so glad you're here, melanie.o you have an event with ser civil rights activists. >> what was the message left for biden? will it motivate him, daca to me. >> i was listening to the conversation right mccarney talked about, we felt the same, with . we still need politicians to do what they need to do because we elected them. i was in a meeting last week with my civil service colleagues. get out here, get out here, use his bully pulpulpit. use his center of gravity. we have to decide through our elected officials to do their jobs. that's why the folks had to fly out of texas. wa what's going on as african-americans in this country, we're not going to stay we're voting rights be shefld for one or two kaex. we want this democracy to still be here because of theeds state laws. >> i could tell through all ofly. it keeps going and going. as a black woman in this country who we delivered. we delivered and deliver and deliver for the democratic party. we seek for the democratic difrd for us. history has shown us we're not

melanie zanona joins us. good morning. this is your reporting. what do they think should happen? other committees, pelosi has the power to put them right back on. >> you're exactly right. my kcolleague ryan nobles and i started to hear from a growing number of republicans who specifically want kevin mccarthy to kick liz cheney and adam kinzinger off their other committee assignments because they agreed to serve on the select panel on january 6th. as you point out, of course, pelosi could just reinstate them. that's one of the reasons gop leaders are very reluctant to go this route. right flank in the party is really fired up, itching for payback in some way, even if it's just to prove a point and could put pressure on leadership in the coming days to go this route. keep in mind, kevin mccarthy wants to be speak er one day. ultimately if a growing number and groundswell of republicans push him to do this, he might feel like he has no choice but to pull the trigger. >> and then just wait for them to potentially get reappointed? >> reporter: exactly. exactly. >> tomorrow is really i

first to you, melanie. of bipartisan endorsing this. >> it's evenly split between republicans and democrats. to have the divide on the house side, pelosi loses some of the progressive votes and needs to make up at the republican conference. however, as you noted in the statement, they say we want a stand alone vote on this bipartisan bill. they don't want it linked with this broader big spending bill which is the path that speaker pelosi and chuck schumer have both said they want to take. >> without that stand alone vote, is this deal dead? >> it could be dead in the water. i talked to brian fitzpatrick a few weeks ago, one of the cochairs of the caucus. he said while he likes the substance of the bill, he is very concerned about the political process playing out. >> so, anita, i wonder, what is the white house communicating to house leaders, house democratic letters including speaker pelosi saying, hey, we have to get this through before we tack it on with this second track, right, of the other democratic

we've got melanie townsend check. she spoke to some experts about earthquakes like this and what they might mean. >> from sacramento to the bay area. the shakes fo by this impressive. 6 point. oh earthquake thursday afternoon happened in a remote area. austin elliott with the u.s. geological survey says has been on their radar for a long time. this is a classic place. the geologist go to the active faults that we know formed pretty dramatic topography. when you go east of the sierra nevada mountain range. elliott who lives in san francisco, 250 miles away from the epicenter says he could feel the rumblings of the quake. >> but in terms of its size, it's based on the measurements that we this is not out of the ordinary earthquake in terms of the shaking in 10 cities either instrument recorded or reported to are. did you feel it system? there's liquid sloshing on the stoats. however, according to elliott in doctor kit, miyamoto there is potential for even more intense aftershocks. >> or a bigger quake. well, it was a pr

and melanie, you have some new reporting about just how central donald trump is to kevin mccarthy and his strategy of taking back the house. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. this is a calculation that kevin mccarthy made really in the weeks after january 6th is when he made his first trip to mar-a-lago. it's not entirely surprising to see him go to bed minister now. it's not just kevin mccarthy, we have seen elise steph fannic, steve scalise trying to seek his support, stay in his good graces. another trend we noticed is that republicans are trying trump to fund raise. pitch after pitch invoked trump's name or image in some way. one member was fundraising off of trump's birthday. another common one was to include a picture of the candidate flashing a thumb's up sign next to trump. so, look, it's effective. trump has been a fundraising gold mine for these members, both mccarthy and the house gops campaign arm actually posted record-breaking fundraising numbers. >> these works in ruby red districts and rudy red states but there are swingy areas, melanie. are there risks to this? >> sur

i want to ask you, melanie, about the letter.see more come out of the white house. some have described it as saying the president when he delivered that very stirring message about voting rights and the assault we're seeing, it's simply not enough. the white house has not put the full weight behind some of the efforts. talk to us about what you want to see more from the white house. >> i think the speech that president biden gave was a very strong and as you mentioned, a moving speech. it's a part of i think what he can do. we say use all the tools in the toolbox. one is from the bully pulpit and speaking about it and using what we shared in both meetings that i've been in. use the whole government approach to use all of your ability to utilize the government that you run. have your cabinet participate where that is feasible. use all elements of it. continue to as a lead are of the democratic party, encouraging the senators to make sure that they will do even more. use everything you have at your disposal. when you talk about the

. >> melanie campbell, last week you got arrested at a voting rights rally.an hank johnson of georgia and other black men for black voters matter were arrested on the house side. what more do you need from either -- from congress -- we know what you need from congress. is there anything more that the president can do to move things along? >> i think just to elevate and escalate from that bully pulpit. last night he mentioned filibuster, right? we're going to keep pushing to say either ending it or amend it and don't let voting rights be hemmed up based on a process. so i think that's really important. the last couple of meetings i have been in at the white house with civil rights colleagues two weeks ago and with black women leaders and strategists last week, with the vice president, was really just to continue to say to them and encourage them and challenge them to just continue to do more because it's that kind of a threat to our democracy. as well as congress. >> so there are two voting rights bills that we're talking about. there's the for the people act

alana and melanie are such professionals.en doing this, not as long as them, but pretty long, and there's no added pressure in that way. >> how did this come about? i mean, was this presented to you guys as, you know, as a first? >> you know, that's a great question. i got an email the way i typically do for these types of things. hey, could you do this game on july 20th? i said yes. and the response okay, great, you're going to be with melanie, with alana, and it really was n ant until we did an interview with "the new york times" to announce the event and everything else that it sort of dawned on me, this is the first time this is happening. i couldn't think of a prior instance in the major leagues. there's a minor league broadcast that melanie was part of with suzy cool, i believe, in 2019. but i couldn't think of a major league one, but i wasn't necessarily sure that meant there hadn't been one. so i really appreciate that that's the approach that was taken. these are qualified people who are doing their jobs. they just h

joining me now is david chalian and reporter melanie zanona.ture, how perilous and yet important is this moment for the congress and the president right now? >> well as we saw over the last month or so, we saw this infrastructure deal, this bipartisan deal sort of die and come back to life four times. so now imagine they were able to get through these procedural steps and they put humpty-dumpty back together but now it is a fragile thing that the president and his team need to keep together. because the house is going to have its say and you could see more progressive members of house staking out their ground on what it will take for them to vote for this bipartisan deal going forward and yet if the bill changes too much, that could completely undo the coalition that exists if the senate across party lines. so the mission now is for the administration and the democratic leaders in kog to keep moving the ball down the field without all of the other distractions that could come along derailing it from its goal. >> melanie, to david's point, there

let's get straight to melanie up on capitol hill. the leader has made his decision. now what? >> that's right. the strategy is coming into focus for republicans about how they'll approach this january 6th investigation. ultimately i'm told that kevin mccarthy does plan to appoint republicans because he wants anaheim position where they can push back on democrats, play defense for trump, shape a counter narrative and essentially throw sand in the gears of the investigation as much as possible. sole you can expect to see some of those trusted trump allies on the committee. someone like jim jordan, mike johnson. but at the same time, kevin mccarthy also recognizes that it is important to have more pragmatic and serious members who can have credibility with middle america, who can bring some expertise to the debate. in fact i had one source tell me they would not be surprised if he doesn't appoint someone who actually voted to certify the results. >> that would be very interesting going forward. we should note this. republicans want to twist january 6th into something short of an

melanie, what led him to decide to participate and who will he name? >> reporter: initially there was a debate about whether to boycott this as a way to cast the entire investigation as partisan. once speaker nancy pelosi appointed a republican, liz cheney, to her side of the committee, which essentially assures that democrats will have bipartisan buy-in for their work it became clear that was no longer a viable option. so instead kevin mccarthy is in fact planning on naming republicans to the select committee, but he wants them there so they can push back on democrats, shape the counternarrative, run defense for donald trump and essentially throw sand in the gears of the investigation as much as possible. as far as names, you can definitely expect to see some trump allies in those who are viewed as effective conservative messengers in the gop conference. people like jim jordan, elise stefanik, mike johnson. at the same time, kevin mccarthy also recognizes that it's important to have some more moderate members who can have sway with middle america and
