mr. sean hannity is kind of in the thick of it. at least, what's the white house chief of staff and apparently with the president himself. they say, quote, they're mr. hannity the select committee now's information indicating that you had advance knowledge regarding president trump and his legal teams planning for january six. it also appears that you were expressing concerns and providing advice to presidential and answered and whiteout staff regarding the planning. you also had relevant communications while the riot was underway and in the days thereafter. these communications make you a fact witness in our investigation. the select committee is in possession of dozens of text messages you sent to and received from white house chief of staff mark meadows. these are related to the 2020 election and trump's effort to contest the outcome of that vote. for example, on december 31st, 2020, you texted mr. meadows the following, quote, we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january six happening the way he i

mr. hannity it was not about anything he said on the air. and he's not going to be in trouble for any view political viewpoint he's taken. that, of course, would trouble me a lot. this is about what he knew about plans to attack the peaceful transfer of power on january 6. he has to testify like everybody else does. >> it does seem from the text messages attributed to mr. hannity that were released by the information tonight it is advancing the story for us a little bit. it had previously been described to the senate actually, by witnesses testifying to the senate, that the white house counsel had threatened to resign on january 3rd, in reaction to trump some plan by which he would have the justice department, essentially act to falsify the election results. and again previously had been described publicly in that testimony that the white house counsel was going to resign over that. hannity's text messages suggest there were a couple of instances in which the white house counsel was threatening to resign. one on january -- described on new y

mr. hannity knew on january 5. that made him text to the white house i am very worried about the next 48 hours. what did he know about what was going to happen? they made him tell the white house he was worried. we shall see. but tonight we have something else new. the publication of a book today. by a member of the january 6 investigation. who was also the lead impeachment manager appointed by house speaker nancy pelosi. to prosecute the case against former president trump. in the second impeachment. the impeachment for inciting the attack on the capitol. this time last year. as you will recall, it feels like it's been five minutes and also 50 years. this time last year the house in fact voted to impeach trump. that was the vote was january 13. one month later, a majority of the u.s. senate 57 senators also voted to convict the former president. that was the largest bipartisan vote for an impeachment in american history. a 57 vote majority is not enough to secure a conviction in the senate. to get a conviction you

and the committee is requesting an interview with mr hannity.evidence remains elusive. former president trump has perhaps, unsurprisingly, refused to cooperate. he's taken legal action to block the release of official white house communication records. and these delays mean it's not certain the committee will finish its work before the mid—term elections in november. and the politics of this remain farfrom predictable. while many condemned what happened onjanuary the 6th, the idea that underpinned it remains. a year on from the storming of the capitol, polls show two thirds of republicans believe voter fraud helped joe biden to win. given that that didn't happen, that raises profound questions about one of the two main parties in the world's most high—profile democracy. and the democrats argue harm is already being done. the root cause of january 6th, is still with us today. it is the big lie, pushed by donald trump, that is undermining faith in our political system. but for all this criticism, for all the convictions of those involved in the ri

mr. hannity but it the tip of the iceberg. evidence that the 1/6 committee are putting together meticulously that will show the state of mind of a desperate, desperate who was meeting with people, who was trying to orchestrate whatever he possibly could to over throw the will of the american public and so he stoked it for months and months and months and had the help of mr. hannity and many others in terms of the big lie. remember, this wasn't a single day's rally or protest that sent that lies to storm the capitol. this was meticulously if not chaotically planned and exercised over the course of many, many months. these lies that over took the capitol sadly are a threat to our democracy today and so that's why i'm glad i'll be going down to washington this week to make sure that we remember and reflect on what happened january 6th and i call upon every one of us to recommit to our democracy, to the protection and lifting of our precious democracy against the lies against someone like donald trump who only seeks authoritarian

mr. hannity for information and news. he's in the news and the one place you can't find out about it as of last night is on mr. hannity's program. thanks to both of you. a lot of food for thought. >>> coming up, later we will get into the fallout from a trump ally basically admitting the coup prep on live tv. >>> also, there's good news on what science is saying about aspects of omicron. dr. howard dean is here live. ar. i needed him to be here. your heart isn't just yours. protect it with bayer aspirin. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. meet ron. that man is always on. and he's on it with jardiance for type 2 diabetes. his underhand sky serve? on fire. his grilling game? on point. and his a1c? ron is on it. with the once-daily pill, jardiance. jardiance not only lowers a1c... it goes beyond to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. and jardiance may help you lose some weight. jardiance may cause serious side effects, including ket

mr. hannity's attorneys? >> so jay sekulow who's representing sean hannity at this point said that he and his client are reviewing the letter, and they're trying to decide how to respond to it but earlier before he had actually seen the letter itself he said that he is concerned there are some first amendment issues with this request. the committee makes it very clear that they're not interested in hannity's television program or his work as a television commentator, they're much more interested in his role as a political adviser to the former president and they want to know what role he played in the decisions that were made around that time and if he can offer any insight into how the president and those connected to him conducted themselves during that period of time. >> if you read the text messages that were released it seems like he may have spoken to the white house counsel, he was certainly having communications with other people certainly a lot in the white house and on capitol hill. i understand you'

mr. hannity in particular, which was the most recent public release by the committee, they clearly want hision, they believe he's a fact witness, and just like any other private citizen in the country who has information that's relevant to the committee's inquiry, they would like him to cooperate. so i think what's important from this letter is that they are asking for his voluntary cooperation. they are not yet moving to compel him to cooperate. >> it certainly paints a picture. congressman, i'm wondering, as we look at this, again, the information is being released in a particular way and for a particular reason, which we may not know everything about at this moment. but it made me question who the real audience is here. is this about getting sean hannity to talk to them? is this about drumming up support for the ultimate, you know, report that we'll get from this committee's investigation, or is this about trying to reach sean hannity's audience, maybe even try to change some minds? >> i think they have every right to invite sean hannity in to testify about what happened. he was acting a

mr. hannity, we're not going to ask you about your reporting methodology, about your sources, about your personal beliefs. you're just a witness. you're like somebody who witnessed a robbery or a car crash. they will try to cloak themselves in the first amendment, but i really think it's misdirection. >> the committee wants to speak with the former vice president, mike pence. we know that top aides on pence's team are already cooperating. i mean how should the committee approach this elie? >> well, you know, you want to get your base of information from the advisers, from the people who were around mike pence. if i'm on the committee and i can get mike pence to talk, you bet i want that opportunity. and, again, yes, he was the vice president of the united states. but in this case, he also is a fact witness. i don't know that he's entitled to any greater treatment. now, i do think it's unlikely mike pence voluntarily speaks to the committee although i can see a middle path here where they work out some specific topics that mike pence might be willing to talk to them about. i think it's un

mr. hannity really have nothing to do with him as a member of the press.ical people as part of a political team. not as a reporter. so, we've got to weigh that, and it's important that the first amendment protection of the press is always very much in our minds. when it comes to the vice president, subpoenaing the former vice president is, you know, it's a big deal. you want to consider that carefully. but certainly, the vice president did the right thing on the 6th of january. he did his duty. and it's not unreasonable to think that he would want to tell the truth about everything that happened leading up to it. so, we're still hopeful that that might occur. we're getting information, as i say, from a variety of sources, and when you think this is just about the vice president, but all of these elected officials and political actors were surrounded by other people who saw things, overheard things, and can report to us about what they saw and heard. so, we're filling in the blanks, but there are some important pieces of testimony we could get from the prin

hannity. for example, on december 31, 2020, you texted mr. meadows the following. o mark meadows in the position of the 1/6 committee. quote, we can't lose the entire white house counsel's office. i do not see january 6th happening the way he is being told. after the 6th, he should announce he will lead the nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. when he speaks, people will listen. similarly on january 5th, the night before the violent riot, you sent and received a stream of texts. you wrote this. this is sean hannity texting, quote, i'm very worried about the next 48 hours. the county the electoral vote scheduled, why were you concerned about the next 48 hours? on the evening of january 5th, sean hannity texted meadows, quote, pence pressure, white house counsel will leave. congressman, it was clear, i guess, coming into the week that the committee was ready to show some of their cards, to make sure they now had eyes in the room. it's clear now they also know who was acutely aware that donald trump had gone too far. your reaction to what they've seen from sea

mr. hannity texted miss mckinney, laying out a five-point approach for conversations with president trumps wanted to have that plan readers follows, no more stolen election top. yes, impeachment 25th amendment are real, and many people will quit. and, miss mckinney replied, love that, thank you, that is the playbook i will help reinforce. i mean wow. that is fox news host sean hannity. game planning a post insurrection approach. which current fox news commentator kayleigh mcenany happily accepts. to talk about this letter, i am happy to be joined by -- author of the excellent new book, unthinkable, trauma, truth and the trials of american democracy. i spoke to him on the podcast. you get wherever you get your podcasts. congressman raskin, there is a lot here. i guess the first question is, this is a solicitation of cooperation. how do you understand, how should we understand this letter to ivanka trump? >> well, we are closing in on the target chris. it is been a very good week for us with the supreme court decision. rejecting trump's efforts to block, release, a whole bunch of documents.

mr. hannity for. >> they're asking him for voluntary cooperation, jake, and it's based on the fact that theymultiple texts from him to former chief of staff mark meadows, as well as other members of the white house staff. let me just read to you from the top of the letter. they say to hannity that it indicates that he had, quote, advanced knowledge regarding president trump's and his legal team's planning for january 6th. it goes on to say that it appears hannity was, quote, expressing concerns and providing advice to the president and certain white house staff regarding the planning. it goes on to say that sean hannity, quote, also had relevant communications while the riot was under way. and in the days thereafter. and that, quote, the communications make you a fact witness in our investigation. within the letter, they have released a number of text messages. they say that there were others in addition to that, but let me just give you one example, jake. they refer to text message on january 5th. this would be, obviously, the night before the riot. and they say on january 5th, the night be

mr. hannity? >> yes. i think you'll see an announcement about that very soon. he was texting with the chief of staff, and that he has information that would be relative to our committee. he was more than a fox host host. also a confidant, adviser, campaigner for the former president. and i would hope that if asked by the committee, as in fact he will be very soon, he would cooperate with us. >> that's a voluntary request? just so i'm clear on that? >> my understanding, and you'll get confirmation soon, we are making voluntary requests that he speak with the committee. >> congressman adam schiff thank you very much. appreciate your time as always and insights especially this week. thank you. >>> we note on that reporting from axios, attorney to sean hannity jay sekulow old axios if true any request would raise serious constitution issues regarding freedom of the press and first amendment rights. >>> and the 2020 election becoming a rallying cry for a number of right-wing groups who believed the lies about the election. talked about them. many facing charges for

mr. hannity? >> well, we're not asking about his broadcasts or anything to do with his press activity. we are having -- have in our possession dozens of texts that he sent to mark meadows and others in his role as a parapolitical operative. indications of his communications with the president and others on strategy. and it's that that we would like to talk to him about. i want to make sure that everyone knows this isn't a subpoena. we've asked him to cooperate with us as a fact witness out of his sense of patriotism, and we hope that he will respond because we have so many of these texts and pieces of evidence indicating that he was outside of his role as a press person acting as a political operative. >> when you say that, the committee has already released one of his texts which was basically asking meadows, is it possible for the president to go out and tell people to leave the capitol in the middle of this. are there other subjects that he talks about when it comes to the spire campaign that donald trump and his allies -- >> yes there are. we have in our possession, as i say, dozen

. >> hannity: mr. president, if i wanted to stop putin, 48% of his economy is energy. he got a waiver to build the north stream pipeline to give energy to our western european allies. i would out produce him and get our energy to western europe. if i wanted to stop china, i would stop all imports from china, and get our allies to join with us. that would probably put them in line, because it would impact them so negatively economically. what is your response to his answer, and what would you do if you were present? >> president trump: we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china with taxes and tariffs, and companies started moving back because it was no longer so good to be there. we had a huge impact. then, you look at what happened with -- if you take a look at what happened with everything having to do with russia, really, what he said last night, when he said "they may go in, they will go in," and he talks about a minor incursion. i said "i don't believe he said that." they use the term "green light." he was green-lighted. very interesting. the president o

mr. president, thank you so much, i am honored. >> hannity: that guy has a name: it is mitch landrieu, joey. last time, you called him mitch mcconnell by mistake. at this point, is anyone in this country surprised that joe's poll numbers are in the gutter? 33%. today, a new low in the ap survey my vast majority disapprove of his job as president. only 28% of the american people want this guy to run for reelection. according to -- republicans now have a 13-point advantage on the generic ballot. i started 2021 at a 9-point deficit. now, in an effort to boost his poll numbers, the biden administration is trotting out somebody even more unpopular than joe cole and his vice president kamala harris. this morning, she participated in a handful of televised interviews. not one of them went well. during a tense interview on nbc, not exactly the hardest hitting news in the world, harris had to forcibly remind savannah guthrie that she is the vice president of the united states and reserves respect. >> ukrainian officials reportedly heard these words from president biden "with alarm." another white ho

hannity's journalistic capabilities. they're not asking about his sources. they're asking about his communications with the white house. >> you know, dana, this is someone who mr. trump's, one of his biggest defenders in public. how credible is it to see what was going on behind the scenes? he was raising the alarm just ahead of the january 6th attack, urging the then president to stop talking about the election. >> he was one of so many people we know about who had a direct line to the then president, begging him to stop with the lies. what is really fascinating as elie said, in this letter that the committee just sent, they explicitly say that they don't, they're not interested in source material and anything that you and i would hold dear as a part of the first amendment rights and desire to keep quiet as journalists. but because of the fact that sean hannity was acting not guilty not necessarily as somebody who's trying to glean information from the white house staff, but give information to him, and we know he spoke to the former president all the time. getting advice. giving advice, i should say, to the president. that it's understandable that the commit

mr. president, i just want you to know i'm always going to ask different questions. and the president reportedly told peter, according to peter, on hannitynight, he said well, you gotta. and so peter doocy will continue to ask those questions despite the president saying stuff. you know, when you look at joe biden though, he has been in the public eye for about 50 years. he has been around hot mics for a very long time. famously at the signing of obamacare he said this is a bfd. and then yesterday. it almost looks the polls are starting to get to him. he looks a little rattled. he should have known better. in television, in public speaking and whatnot, you just assume the microphone is always on. >> ainsley: remember what he said about donald trump, if i were in high school i would take him behind the bleachers and beat the blank outs of him. >> brian: behind the barn, the bleaches, look, especially in sports a lot of times a coach would yell at top player and visa versa. belichick and brady went at it mostly belichick. they still at the end of the day still respected each other. i think the fact that he called -- the president called af
