niels lesniewski the white house and congress chief correspondent joins us. tell us about the efforts coming from speaker pelosi. guest: speaker nancy pelosi is renewing the call on removing a number of the statue's in the in the collection that honor people who either fought for the confederacy or otherwise involved with the confederacy. the most notable name on the list of people actually honored in the capitol with a statue from the collection of statues where each state gets to send, would probably be jefferson davis, who was the confederate president during the war. and so each state gets to send , the statues. speaker pelosi basically wants them to be removed by what is called the "joint committee on the library." it is a standing committee that is the leadership of the rules and administration committee in the senate and the house administration committee in the house and it wants to remove those statues anyway. what we have heard from republicans, at least, is that is kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell, i believe have said that do you need the states
