[inaudible] three democrats mikey cheryl, abigail and alyssa voted present.gued they need to win the georgia runoff to stand against pelosi. in a 5050 senate just because you have the vice presidency, that doesn't mean you have the majority. that's not written down anywhere. in fact there was a 5050 senate 20 years ago and they'rand the then democratic leader, they worked out a power-sharing agreement. it's unclear if mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer can do the same this time around. >> thank you. let's get a unique perspective on what's happening here in georgia. frank kemp joins us tonight. governor, thanks for being here. >> good evening. >> governor, let's start, we have a lot to talk about. a lot of breaking news. let's start with this race on tuesday. what you see as the highest ranking official here in georgia, where you see the state of this race for the runoff tuesday. >> to me it's just a turnout election. who's going to show up on tuesday, early voting is done, all that matters is who's going to the polls on tuesday. i hope republicans well. i fee

staff, if you are bringing people inside the capitol and helping them conduct, in the words of mikey cherylrecognizance, on the u.s. capitol building, a secure federal building that house staff and federal law makers. you cannot do that, obviously and if an investigation bears out there were people involved in that, again, i'm not a legal expert here. i only play one on late-night tv. i think all that would bring significant federal charges. >> and to return to where you started. whaultz maddening is at some point we saw it live but one of the things we learned is there was a lot happening we didn't see. there's information in drips and drabs. one briefing yesterday that wasn't very brief and there has to be something more comprehensive, some transparent resitation of what facts have been established. because this is madness right now, picking through footage and what people say happened. >> well, look, man, this is going to be a -- we know there are blessings and curses of the mass technology era. but this is one of the blessings. i feel what we've seen come out in the last seven days is a

congresswoman mikey cheryl and other democrats are calling for an investigation of whether or not unnamed republicans who were involved in allowing certain people who ended up storming the capitol to conduct house tours the day before. let's take a look at that. >> i was flat on the ground as other members were calling loved ones because they thought that might be the last phone call they made. to imagine that colleagues of mine could have aided an abetted this is incredibly offensive. howie: how seriously should the press take the suggestions that unnamed members may have helped some of these thugs conduct reconnaissance inside the capitol? >> i think there's going to be a pretty significant probe into that. obviously, over the years, we've seen lawmakers taking their constituents through the capitol and it's no big deal. during covid, it's been a different thing where it's not been as common but when you consider perhaps tours the day before the attack, certainly that's worth investigating, looking intos and my sense is there will be hearings looking into that very subject as well. howi

in an interview with rachel maddow tonight, new jersey congressman mikey cheryl had this to say abouting tours of the capitol to very suspicious looking people the day before the attack on the capitol. >> the only way these people, these groups, could have gotten into the complex is if another member of congress or their staff walked them in, and that was reiterated by the sergeant at arms on january 5th. to imagine that colleagues of mine could have aided and abetted this is simply offensive and there's no way they can be allowed to continue to serve in congress. >> paul gosar is one of the suspected of aiding and invasion of the capitol. paul gosar tagged the organizer in a tweet a few hours before the invasion of the capitol. the tweet said, biden should concede. i want his concession on my desk tomorrow morning. don't make me come over there. top the steal 2021. is congressman paul gosar gravely mentally ill, fully delusional or is he a pathological liar? he's a member of congress and he's telling the president-elect that he wants his concession on his desk the next morning? what

mikey cheryl made the allegation in a facebook video today, she said, quote those members of congressour president undermine our democracy will be held accountable. fbi agents now say they warn law enforcement of possible violence on capitol hill are political reporter greg lee talked to counter intelligence experts who say that there were warning signs on the internet for weeks. not an intelligence failure, but rather failure to act upon available intelligence. frank figliuzzi says last week's violent insurrection of the capital was telegraphed on social media. for weeks, the glue z was the fbi's assistant directora special agent for 25 years. the washington post reported. fbi agents in virginia warned law enforcement of possible violence the day before the siege. the glue, z says a lot of questions need to be answered. why weren't sufficient police resource is at the capitol was this strategy somehow directed from on high above the capitol police. and moving forward. what do we do as a country about the onslaught of social media posts that threatened violence in the wake of the d c

yesterday democratic congresswoman mikey cheryl, herself a former navy helicopter pilot, sent a letterpolice signed by over 30 colleagues requesting an investigation into, quote, suspicious behavior and access given to visitors at the capitol complex on tuesday, the day before the attacks. she elaborated her concerns to rachel maddow last night. >> it was so odd to see them. my chief of staff called the sergeant at arms to say, what is going on? and he reiterated, the only way these people could have gotten into the capitol complex was with a member or that member's staff. and we now know that those violent groups that attacked the capitol complex had inside knowledge of the capitol grounds. >> speaker nancy pelosi spot there was enough reason to be concerned about the people sitting across the aisle that after several republicans bullied their way through the newly installed metal detectors on the way to the floor, she announced any member to refuses to be screened will be fined $5,000 for the first offense, $10,000 for a second. even though we are not close to knowing all the facts a

why are there so many far-right members of the house with all sorts of weird ties and of course mikey cherylhe saw members giving, quote, unquote, recontours to insurrectionists. >> there are three -- i'm sorry, 30 democratic lawmakers that have signed on to her proposal saying we've got to investigate. now they're going to be four independent congressional committee investigations on this. you mentioned lauren boebert. why is she walking around the metal detectors that are installed there and arguing with capitol police when they say, look, we need to check your bag. we know that she's a gun rights activist and she talks about, you know, packing heat and carrying a gun. i don't ef know, a, if that is legal to do into the capitol building itself, but certainly, not recommended to do. i think we can pretty much all agree on that. so what's that about? you've got these republicans that are saying, i'm not going to go through the metal detectors, it's got to raise red flags to you. >> yeah. so, i mean, lawmakers have an exception on capitol grounds, they're allowed to carry weapons under some 1

>> that's what congresswoman mikey cheryl believes and wants it investigated at the very least.he last few days that show people that have broken in actually have a working knowledge of the tunnels and working knowledge and knew exactly where they wanted to go. so, katty kay, people have been talking about, a, quote, inside job from the beginning. and we have to look at whether there were members of congress that were involved in this, whether there were capitol hill police officers who were sympathetic to the rioters and assisted them in any way. and of course the news this morning that you retweeted, two virginia police officers have been put up on federal charges for being part of those riots. >> yeah. the two virginia police officers were posting a photograph that they took of themselves on their own social media sites. there is an investigation going on. they were boasting on social media about how we're not worried our photo is doing the rounds because we were just there defending freedom. and then at one point they were talking about attacking the capitol as well. another
