speaker pelosi: so disappointed. reporter: there are people who are really taking on senators manchin and sinema, what do you say those that are hyper-critical saying, that's their position, that's their -- [inaudible] do you think that criticism [inaudible] speaker pelosi: i think people will say what they'll say. i have not encouraged it. i have discouraged it. we are a giant collide scope. you never know who will be in the design of the next bill. and so we have to be respectful. but i have not -- i've discouraged people from making comments about them. you may hear it more than i do. i just don't hear much of it anymore. reporter: [inaudible] on this subject or something other? speaker pelosi: i don't think so. i think they'll do what they believe. and i'm hopeful. they have come to agreement on aspects of the build back better legislation. we may want to have to rename it to something that's even build back better, whatever we decide to call it, but the fact is, we're a diverse place, from right to left, democra

speaker pelosi: good morning. and a good morning it is. today is a big day for our democracy and a big day in the house of representatives. today, the house will make a major step toward defending our democracy, as we vote to send the freedom to vote -- john lewis voting -- john lewis act to the senate for urgent consideration. i just want to say four things about the bill, the freedom to vote bill. we passed it twice in the house under different names. same thing with the john lewis bill -- passed it twice in the house. so now, today, we're sending it over with the prospect that it will have consideration in the senate. four things people should know about it, four reasons why members should be voting for it. and we have a vote on now, so i'm going to have to go gavel that down. but the four things are -- one, it stops partisan redistricting. very popular with the american people, by making sure we honor the constitution, the voting rights act, and the community of interest. ends partisan redistricting. two, it stops voter suppression and

pelosi is off limits. my understanding is either pelosi, the sergeant at arms, muriel bowser, we're required t hand over their e-mails, their text, and their phone conversations for the days leading up to that day in the days after. how come if we want this not to happen again, don't we need to talk to them? >> here is the reason why they didn't do it, it's because they spent the summer of 2020 normalizing violence when they said were going to defund the police, what they say we're going to reimagine policing, when they said the rioters and looters who attacked police officers when the democrats say their other peaceful protesters by the way, we're going to help raise money to bail this people out of jail, when you spent a summer doing that it's hard to say we except with the presiden offered them are going to have the national guard here on january 6th we have all these people coming to town. that's the concern when you spend an entire summer doing that. republicans have stayed consistent. we condemned th

pelosi is off limits. my understanding is neither pelosi, the sergeant at arms coming muriel bowser, are required to hand over their emails, their texts, and their phone conversations for the days leading up in the days leading after. if we want this not to happen again, don't we need to talk to them? >> here's the reason why they didn't do it. they spent 2020 normalizing violence but when they said we will defund the police, reimagine policing them when they said that rioters and looters who attacked police officers when the democrats say, oh, they are peaceful protesters, and by the way we will help raise money to bail those people out of jail. when you spend an entire summer doing that it's hard to say then, we accept what the president offers and will have the national guard here when we have all these people coming to town. that's the concern. when you spend the entire summer doing that. we condemned the violence that took place january 6, condemned the violence the entire summer of 2020. it would be

you guessed it, nancy pelosi. president pelosi., that theory is bonkers and will likely never happen. i admit. we're just exercising our constitutional imagination. hey, if we can't get away with insider trading, at least let us have a little fun. newt gingrich, former speaker of the house and author of "beyond biden" joins me now. all right, speaker, when you were there, she was there when you were there at the same time. were you or anybody aware of how much she was cashing in behind the scenes? >> well, there were always stories, particularly i remember involving her husband's investments, i think it was in some mow a. senator feinstein who is also extraordinarily wealthy. the current governor of california. there are a about six families that somehow seem to have political power and remarkably successful at increasing their wealth. i think there is a deeper question here which i think is totally legitimate. we need to have new and stricter rules on what people can invest in when they are in public life. there is too many exampl

nancy pelosi in the d.c. mayor, refuse the guard, in other words this was completely preventable except democrats rejected the protection here and we will also get insight from congressman jim jordan and congressman banks who were booted from the fake january 6th committee to stack the deck 100% against donald trump. and we will hear first-hand from families of the victims of the 574 violent riots from december 2020. where is the committee investigating all of those riots with dozens of dead americans, thousands of injured cops? now, you remember at the beginning, for example, the riots, fake news referred to it as fiery but most will make mostly peaceful. but they said mostly peaceful. all 12 thousands of police injured and some very severely in the fiery but peaceful protest as he said. thousands of americans dead and over 600 arson attacks, 97 police vehicles were lit on fire. a police precinct burnt to the ground and federal courthouse in portland set ablaze pretty much every night for months. dozens of b

pelosi: no. we will find the truth and the committee will use -- they have said everything is on the table. at one point they said that, in order to do that. i have confidence in the bipartisan nature of the committee. they are working very hard as we can see in the public domain, the product of their work, and i have confidence in them. reporter: madam speaker, just so i understand your position on this here. [indiscernible] -- committees are investigating -- [indiscernible] -- years ago when -- [indiscernible] -- you even referred to -- [indiscernible] -- this is a particular issue for congress, if you have members who are uncosmopolitannive, -- uncooperative, subpoenas -- [indiscernible] -- go through you to sign off on some particular discipline or ethics committee or whatever you decide to do -- [indiscernible] -- particularly the minority leader. ms. pelosi: i've served on the ethics committee for many years, longer than anybody else. i always said any issues about the ethics committee shou

this is case of pelosi rules for thee not for me, nancy pelosi.his practice has to stop. it is not just a nancy pelosi problem. it's a both party problem. you have republicans and democrats taking advantage of their public office and it is wrong. elizabeth: we hear you. i mean business insider found more than four dozen lawmakers both sides of the aisle violating the stock act. that is kind of a weak law. it is mostly about transparency. an individual employed in his office is violating the stock act. report says senate majority leader chuck schumer daughters work at amazon. questions about his positions too. paul pelosi, jr., his connection to four companies where the leaders of companies were accused, probed for fraud by federal and state government. this is a web, ford. your final word. >> obviously getting rich off of pelosi's office is the pelosi business much like biden and federal contracts. we need to hold these folks accountable. the stock act is not going to do it. when it comes to chuck schumer, who is going to believe he will regulate

nancy pelosi didn't call up the troops, head of the january 6 committee says nancy pelosi is off limits. they can't talk to her. the sergeant at arms, communication between her and the others. it's not being subpoenaed by the committee. that's why i say it's a shame committee with a predetermined outcome and we need a real committee that's going to ask questions and i'll tell you why i want the answers. because i want our politicians elected officials to a safe and secure and i don't want to ever have another january 6th and this country. we are better than that. >> there is no question. not a single member on the committee didn't vote for impeachment. every single one of the members on the committee voted to impeach my father. isn't it also really interesting that, i was there at the time. do you remember when they burn down the church across the white house. they were burning courthouses. police stations all across the country. seattle and portland in chicago and placing bricks on the side of streets in new york so protesters could throw them through windows. they didn't prosecute any

this is all political theater to nancy pelosi, joe biden?gine if joe biden and kamala harris but the same effort that they put into today's speech with ridiculous divisive things they said and actually doing their jobs and getting a hold of colton and reducing inflation. kamala harris could go to the border and address the border crisis. they don't want to do that. they have created this crises and hurting families here than they use january 6 for political theater just to continue to try to change the subject from utter failures of leadership. >> laura: and cnn tried, by the way hyping a threat of domestic terrorism, but it didn't work out how they planned, watch. >> experts are now running the perils by domestic extremism as high as ever. >> and extremist rhetoric over the past two days leading up too the anniversary. >> this rhetoric leading up today. are there significant credible threats to the nation's capitol tonight? >> we have not received credible threats that we are aware of. >> laura: congressman, this is so we are responsible. i

watch nancy pelosi on this. they are doing, you pointed out very clearly, and i thank you for that, thatter this not only suppressing the vote, suppressing the vote, they are nullifying elections. elizabeth: have we ever, have they ever put forward anybody who did not vote, who was suppressed against voting? have you ever seen that? >> no. it is hogwash. it is a made-up lie by the speaker of the house thinking that she can bully people into doing this. these are the same people that want to allow ballot harvesting, somebody else to go out to collect your ballot for you. they don't believe in voter identification. at the same time they're advocating as i said in new york and california, allowing people that are not even citizens to go along and vote. when you have a wide open border it is pretty clear what they're trying to do. that is they're trying to get a lot of people to be able to vote that are not eligible to vote. that is why i think republicans, smartly have said we need to authenticate the vote. you do

elizabeth: bad news for pelosi. great to have you on.hn fetterman uniting on a new ethics bill by georgia democrat senator jon ossoff, would ban sitting lawmakers and families from doing stock trading while in office. senator josh hawley is moving on a similar bill. what do you think of these bills coming forward? >> well look, it is bad news for speaker pelosi because she outperformed, she and her husband outperformed most everyone that financial trades for a living. unfortunately most members of congress should stay out of the financial markets. most of us have not outperformed at all. i do believe members of congress should own things, disclose them in accordance with the law. elizabeth: put them in a blind trust or index fund, or if you don't like the rules just quit. timing of trades involving nancy pelosi's husband and legislation. what we're talking about here, congressman, by the way republicans have been doing the same thing, they're being accused of doing stock trading while in office. speaker pelosi, her husband bout tesla sto

nancy pelosi, there's a combined age of 244. this is true, she's older than spray camp invested in 1941 she was born in 1940. congress zombies are the only ones sweating, the senate has a giant collection, they could loan themselves to the natural history museum. 50% of the senate is over 65. diane feinstein is 88, older than parking meters by two years and publicans are at the party configure, cocaine mitch obviously snoring something, he's 79. grassley is 88 as well. chuck grassley, older than a can of beer. at the start. no matter how you vote or slice it, we are being tortured by an army cranky governors who love war almost as much as they love to smother you with their outdated programs to manipulate every aspect of your life. you think it's a good idea? try watching your grandma open up a culture she's not in the position to commit generational theft or start a world war. 64-year-old senator bill cassidy has at least one good idea, start giving sober status cognitive test to track their mental decline. anymore damage, we a

for nancy pelosi, an amazing person. second term as speaker. everyone fears her.own policies. the american people are rejecting the agenda. all this government spending is going to fuel inflation that will make it harder for more average americans. >> harris: i tell you what i looked up this morning and was watching the network and somebody popped up a trader joes and i realized it was mine and had nothing on the shelves. i thought it was a one-day event when i saw it. it was long enough to grab video several days later. desirae, let's talk about who could pop up. i mentioned hakeem jeffries and maybe others. who do you like for position to step up for nancy pelosi should the seat become vacant for her? >> speaker pelosi has been a powerhouse leader for democrats and as you mentioned a ball of energy. she is a fantastic -- >> harris: who is next? >> we know the democrats have a bench. a lot of people to choose from. jeffries and schiff are great and a number of other people. one thing about the democratic party we have options because we have leaders, plenty of wh

what will pelosi and biden do to stop crime including in pelosi's home state?have 22 cities seeing a 44% increase in homicides? >> thank you for bringing home pelosi's home state or talk about san francisco and her district. when was the last time you heard nancy pelosi talk about solutions to crime in san francisco? when was the last time you saw the president of the united states flanked by police officers or police unions and saying, this is enough, this will not stand? what we saw in harlem obviously with two cops shot dead. you brought up all the other cops shot in missouri or washington, d.c. you go around the country and the president is basically silent on this, hiding behind his press secretary who puts out boilerplate statements they're spending money on this or that but there is no passion on this issue at this point. never judge joe biden on his words, liz. just his actions. his actions on crime have been basically nonexistent. elizabeth: to joe's point, he is making an important one, what are they doing, right, congressman? we hear the president wi

pelosi completely.vidual members hold individual stocks it cannot but help talking about policies that affect their stock's values. that is big throw down from him. what do you think of this. >> happy knew career, liz, good to be with you. all of recently in the news because what happened over at the federal reserve where clearly they don't have as vigorous, have an old anachronistic governing. the compliance of their governor's involvement in the stock market. in the house since 2012 we have extensive financial disclosure we report and we report monthly transactions of all of our trades and so we have a much more vigorous, transparent system than clearly the fed does. elizabeth: well nancy pelosi is saying that the stock trades of her husband are a matter of the free market. suddenly she is a libertarian when it comes to the family stock trades. it has become so legendary. congressman, the stock trades of her husband are so legendary on social media, she is called the market's biggest whale. she is pus

show timing of nancy pelosi's husband stock trades.s a story that is flown under the radar congressman, for years, where people, members of congress have been doing stock trading and bond trading. your take what is going on here? >> i think it is a bad look. do i believe that nancy pelosi broke the law with respect to that visa stock ipo that was discussed? i don't know is the answer but i do know it's a bad look. i agree with kevin mccarthy we need to do something about it. we need to formulate and pass some legislation. we'll do that when republicans take over the house in less than a year. because i think it is important that we send a message to the american people that we are holding ourselves to a higher standard. i think we should absolutely be out of the business of buying stocks. it is going to be difficult because of the spousal aspect of that. where do we stop? if you're spouse works for an oil and gas company should you be allowed to vote on matters affecting energy. if your spouse is a teacher, should you vote on education

pelosi is largely silent on this.ansparency, saying quote we're a free market economy. obama's ethics chief walter schawb says that is like saying let them eat cake. she is overseeing the most powerful district when it comes to the economy, one of them, because of silicon valley and big tech. the trades around legislation from her had you husband is under scrutiny. we showed viewers what is going on with that. so you know, here is the thing, liz, democrat senators jon ossoff and mark kelly, they're talking about legislation that requires members of congress and their families, put their stock portfolios into blind trusts but lawmakers will still know their holdings in that trust. so that won't work. >> well, look, liz, when someone goes into work in the white house, they have to put everything in blind trusts. they're supposed to divest themselves of most of their tradeable assets, et cetera. i really don't see any difference here. these legislators, nancy pelosi is privy to all that the decisions that congress is mak

nancy pelosi waited four months. in that time period, as we came here and discussed many times, you did, you'd ask the question, my fears began to erode that she played politics. you watched it unfold. who could have subpoena power, who could have the scope? continuing to fight it all along the way. we've now found she just played politics while the senate had two committees, bipartisan, look at what happened on january 6. the f.b.i. was doing their own investigation and you all know the role of congress, the only role we have is legislative. you asked me that question in may. that was two months before nancy pelosi decided for the first time in history by any speaker to deny the minority to even put their individuals on a committee. so when you ask me that question, never did i think a speaker would play such politics and then appoint a chairman who starts the committee by saying the only person out of bounds is the speaker. and now that we find, even when we ask to preserve that information with the sergeant at arm

we need people to join with us to be able to fire nancy pelosi.rs want to join, just go to firepelosi.com and help us win the majority, but help us turn this country around. it's not going to be -- maria: so, congressman -- >> -- it has to be earned. maria: yep. so you think you can turn how many seats? it's been talked about 25 up to 30, what's your estimate? >> well, the lines have not been drawn yet. there's going to be fewer competitive seats, but my goal is to win the majority. if we are able to win a majority, that's how we're able to govern. we don't know all the lines. there's 25 democrats retired. we want to earn enough that we have a governing majority. that means getting in the realm of 20 and higher. if we are fortunate enough to win 35 republican seats, that would be the largest republican majority in more than a hundred years. maria: congressman, we're going to be watching. we hope you'll come back soon to walk us through as the time goes on. thank you so much, sir. we will be watching. congressman ken mccarthy. >> -- kevin mccarthy.

>> nancy pelosi is another example they're also republicans as well prepared and nancy pelosi's caseused to be pretty critical of beijing. then something happened in the late to thousands, her husband hooked up in a series of deals in mainland china and her son also went to beijing looking for deals. in her position evolved. all you have to do is look at the 2000 olympics in beijing, remember those were held. nancy pelosi initially favored a boycott of those olympics. that it found that the two limousine companies got lucrative deals right now ferrying vips and literally change her position to no longer supporting a boycott. you've seen in evolution with nancy pelosi and it's important to point out really since covid happened in january in 2020 she has refused to allow a single hearing in congress and the house of representatives on the origins of the covid virus. >> a while. china is making inroads with deals in central america wing on the ukraine russia prices lecturing the u.s. about that. peter schweizer will have you back on the went to a longer interview with you with go more d

nancy pelosi waited four months.came here and discussed many times, you were here, you would ask me questions, my fear began to erode that she'd play politics with this. you watched it unfold. she would prepare who can have a subpoena power, who can have the scope, continuing to fight it all along the way that we now found she just played politics while the senate had two committees, bipartisan, look at what happened on january 6th. january 6th, and we had a role of congress, and the only role we have is legislative. you asked me that question in may. that was two months before nancy pelosi decided by any minority to put the list together, and never did i believe that such a speaker would play such politics and never that a chairman of any committee would say that the any person out of bounds is the speaker and now that we find to preserve that information with the sergeant of arms that they will not provide it. maybe if nancy pelosi had done what other speakers would do and not play politics with it, it could have b

pelosi drew scrutiny. didn't she? because she said like a should be allowed to trade as part of a free market economy. what's changed? well, this is just a essentially playing with semantics. so a free market economy would suggest that information is not evenly distributed to the marketplace and you have price discovery in the markets that is fair and balanced. but she's not talking about free market trading. she's talking about a market that slanted in the favor of those who are accessing inside information, but cloaking it in the, in what would appear to be, you know, the words of free market enterprise. that's just a public relations comments. he's making this not free market enterprise. when you have oligarchs draining the system of cash and leaving the population homeless, dying from drug overdoses, you know, the biggest cause of death in the u. s. last year. was either oxycontin overdose or sick or suicide. you know, the pfizer is a great example danielle because pfizer is, is a company that would ru

of congress and one of their fif rites is house speaker nancy pelosi. >> nancy pelosi just purchasedlars in call options, you've got to see this. >> shot out to nancy pelosi, the stock market's biggest whale, apparently she decided to go very heavy in tech stocks. i will show you which ones she bought. >> the queen of investing just spent $300,000 on this one stock so i think i will be picking up a couple shares on monday. >> this is about to go crazy because nancy pelosi bought it. >> trevor: that's right, nancy pelosi is a star on tiktok. she didn't need to steal any black people's dance moves to do it t that is amazing. in fact, i almost respect pelosi's hustle. she is 81 years old. most of her friends are probably playing the nickel stocks right now but she snows that it doesn't matter if it is casinos or wall street, the house always wins, baby. now haspel osi been so successful because of insider information, there there's no way to know but what's clear is that just being a member of congress means that you will probably know about the bad stuff that will crash a stock before

some pull, pelosi made more than $5000000.00 from a timely beds on google's parent company. just before house legislation seen as soft on big tech was passed, nancy pelosi spokesperson has insisted she had no knowledge of the transactions. her husband's investment judgment has proven so uncanny over the years that many traders simply copy his picks to maximize profits. but now to senate democrats have proposed a bill to ban sipping members of congress onset spouses from stock trading. previously pelosi spoke counts against the legislation, saying it wrong, counted to a free markets economy marks kaiser, a former stock broker as current host of ortiz, kaiser report said, such instances exemplify an oligarchy. a grip on the country fundamentally lawmaker should not be allowed to trade stocks. or we already have a problem of too much corporate money in politics and america. and then making a lot of corporate money from their donors isn't enough for these politicians. they also want to use the information that they glean from these corporations to trade on inside information and

nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi turn down the national guardsmen, what did see know on january 4 and 5? what did nancy pelosi do, during the hours following january 6? whether the capitol building was breached? if you rail' to know what took place -- really want to know what took place so congress can prevent it again, you don't have to subpoena the people they are.he you need to get information about failures of the security system that was in place at capitol, and the person in charge was nancy pelosi, we know why nancy pelosi did not invite national guard to protect the building, because they were considered to brought in by president trump parent company to protect white house at lafayette park she rejected that. you can't use the act to protect the white house, why didn't she have more cops, remember what she said about portlandid police who president trump sense more federal law enforcement in tort land to protect federal courthouse, she called them stormtroopers, so did james cliburn. stormtroope

also seeing speaker pelosi and leader schumer paying their respects.round a dinner table with the late senator along with then senator schumer, and they were speaking about what the work, the work that had been done while obama was president. and the late senator looked to the former president and said, we have done good work. and he gave him a kiss on his forehead which was quite shocking to the former president. the former president then recounted, trying to give the late senator a hug in which he kind of recoiled and said enough is enough. it's time to wrap up the evening. that was an anecdote and speaks to the legacy he leaves. maria, i want to talk about the political moment we're in now as we watch this. we just saw yesterday the president putting pressure on the senate to change the filibuster rule. a carveout, we should say for voting rights. you noted this was one of the last things that you spoke about with senator reid. what did he have to say about that? >> that's right. exactly a year ago we called him our co-founders at indivisible and i

house speaker nancy pelosi as well along with the former president, barack obama. president biden. as soon as they begin speaking, we're going to bring that to you as well. leigh ann, thank you for now. i want to turn now to the january 6th investigative committee, saying members expect to ask former vice president mike pence to voluntarily appear before the panel. committee chair bennie thompson announcing the formal invitation could come before the end of this month as the investigation moves into a new phase, taking a closer look at donald trump's inner circle and new public requests for voluntary testimony. nbc's julie tsirkin is on capitol hill for us following the story. julie, it's good to see you. the former vice president's testimony, obviously incredibly crucial here. are we expecting him to turn down this request? how likely is it, a subpoena from the committee could happen? >> reporter: well, yasmin, i'll tell you, just on thursday, the one-year anniversary of the january 6th attack on the capitol, i asked senator -- excuse me, chairman bennie thompson

the daily mail reports that nancy pelosi's son paul pelosi jr.ith five separate companies that were each investigated by federal agencies, including a biofuel company that defrauded investors another company that was previously caught up in an investigation of scam calls that targeted senior citizens and a medical company accused of testing drugs on people without fda authorization. but, hey, maybe he is just really business savvy like his mommy and his daddy who stock moves are followed by retail traders on tiktok who are looking to be as rich as the speak of the house. miranda devine a "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor and she is here with us now. miranda, always great to have you on. you are one of my favorites. >> thank you. >> rachel: we hear so much about hunter biden and his stories obviously so colorful with hookers and cocaine and pornography. now we are hearing about nancy pelosi's son, tell us what he has been up to. >> well, look, there is obviously a corruption problem in washington and paul pelosi jr. who is one of

needless to say, pelosi is not exactly lining up to support the bill. joining us now with more, missouri senator josh hawley. senator, good to have you back. you've introduced your bill, we've taken a look at it. i agree with it wholeheartedly. shouldn't it be a standard practice among elected officials that they were accuse themselves or put their money and a blind trust knowing that it's part of the job that they are likely to get insider information. >> when people get sent to washington they ought to be focused on what the vote or something to do. and not distracted by trying to put a bug in their pocket for the truth of the matter is, nancy pelosi this last year alone traded over $5 million worth of stock -- she's making a heck of a lot of money, she and her family are. here's what i would say. if members want to invest, fine. invest the way most americans do. diversified mutual funds or put it in a blind trust. but owning individual stock, trading stock is up to that members of congress shouldn't do. this ought to be an easy issue, but nancy pelos

certainly, speaker pelosi was the big legislative star of the obama years. she and reid forged quite a strong bond. what can you tell us about their relationship? >> yeah, i think that's another thing that's really important here is about how close he was to his colleagues, right? you heard the senator just a bit ago talk about, you know, his support for her, and that's something that you hear from a lot of different people, whether they were up and coming folks like president obama or even alexandra ocasio-cortez who says that he has reached out to her or he had reached out to her multiple times over the years. and that relationship with nancy pelosi is something that, as you look back at the obama years, the biden as vice president years, is pinnacle and is really important about -- it tells you how those eight years worked out, because working hand-in-glove, both nancy pelosi and senator reid, as teammates, and as equals, in pushing through the legislation from president obama that they wanted to push through, the healthcare, all of that good stuff that t

>> i think nancy pelosi will decide when nancy pelosi is done.vering her, you make speculations about her at your own peril. but certainly, 29 democrats in the house have said that they are going to retire and she has said, no, i'm going to run again. does she want to continue in leadership? it's going to be a brutal midterm election for democrats by all accounts. it's in the house. and so i think there'll be an assessment period probably that have. >> few have been more effective at leadership than nancy pelosi. i mean, in the history of our country. she has a slim majority in the house right now. we've seen a number of disagreements between progress ives and moderates. but while pelosi is one of the most effective leaders in history, could the recent fractures play a role in whether she stays or goes? >> probably more so, whether or not democrats remain in the majority, right? it's one thing to be speaker. you have a lot of power. she has the feet of being speaker, minority leader, and coming back as speaker again. so i think that's going to be

nancy pelosi. didn'ta why did nancy pelosi turn down the national guardsmen, what did she know and do? during hours following january 6. if you really' to know, what fact place took place. so congress can prevent it from happening again, you don't need to subpoena the people they are, you need to get information about the failures of security system that was in place in the capitol. person who was in charge was nancy pelosi. >> she objected, so didder in general friend so did milley, saying you can't uses insurgents fact to protect the white house, you can't do that. why else? why didn't she have more cops there. remember, what she said about portland police, when president trump sent more federal law enforcement to portland, to protect the federal courthouse? she called them stormtroopers, so did number three democrat, james cliburn. a party a media, a obama-biden administration working with hillary clinton campaign and dnc, with mark align and perkins coy and a former russian citizen to put out a

nancy pelosi oversees the capitol police, why did they decline the guards aboard? pelosi, bowser, the sergeant at arms, the capitol police chief also requested the guard be they left the place totally vulnerable. there wouldn't have been january 6 if the guard was there like donald trump had called them up. so one is pelosi and mayor bowser and the sergeant and arms and the capital police chief when are they going to be subpoenaed to testify before the sham committee?an probably never becausete they hd some predetermined outcome. they don't want the answer. if the true purpose of this committee is to understand truly what happened for the purpose that it will never ever happen again, because we've got to protect our institutions andat elected officials, how can you possibly ignore this big issue of why didn't they call up the guard authorized by the president? the only reason i can think of is this corrupt committee, by the way, it has the single biggest purveyor of election lies in the history of the country, adam schiff, they have a predetermined outcome in their
