busy americans, today we're talking with toxin, rodney davis, who is represented illinois and the house of representatives for the past and years, and it was just lost his seat, a congresswoman, mary miller, who was donald trump's choice in the republican primary contra davis. thank you so much for pulling over on the side the road. i know you're driving to iowa from illinois. look, i want to have a very thoughtful discussion on what's happening in american politics where you don't really both parties where it seems stride and see seems to be the way to victory. and i just love to get your sense of things most try and she depends upon the district. look, i represented a district and want to district 10 years ago that was drawn to elect democrats and i be democrats, every single election cycle in the general election. i'd be back primary challenges at the same time, but my district i currently represent was much different than the district. democrats drew my house in june in this race. and therefore, i was much more subject to the strident shake, much more subject to an endorsement from

and i should say that congressman rodney davis is, is, is one of those who is very often worked across the aisle to move legislation forward, you know, to come to compromises and various issues. but i'm also interested in the, in the divides in the democratic sites. we've just seen senator joe mansion eventually kind of hold the line, move a 3 and a half $1000000.00 deal down to basically nearly half a 1000000000. but basically you have huge divides in the democratic party as well. and we should be careful of this, but you know, a lot of people know alexandria castillo, cortez, a o. c. as she's known in the world, is, is sort of seen as the head of one wing of that hope you've got folks. i jo mansion that many democrats can't even believe he's a democrat and, and are upset about. but i guess the issue for me is, from your perspective, what are you seeing from your purch happening in the democratic party? are they going over a cliff from your perspective? what is the stridency on their side look like? well, it's going to be a party that's going to be war. the majority of their party in

but republican congressman rodney davis of illinois, i really appreciate you pulling over on the road and thank you so much for talking with us and look forward to seeing you in washington soon. absolutely take care sleep. so what's the bottom line? let's dispel a myth. donald trump is not all powerful, he lost the presidency. of course he still really influential and his brand still help some, but it hurts others. but let's get beyond trump. what's happening in both parties today is something far more worrisome. stridency is on the rise. the desire to listen to one another, negotiate make a deal is fading away. today's american politics is about never giving up, never surrendering your own views, pounding on the table. no compromise. is that the rapid recipe for getting elected today. so getting things done, bad, not getting things done and being ideologically outrageous and unyielding good. will the outcome of these politics is going to be messy, and what allows the model for the world. and that's the bottom line. ah, hulu, [000:00:00;00] with ah, seek that. mm hm. and then internat

with capitol hill republicans, house republicans, working on the house administration committee, rodney davis, they've interviewed him and several other whistle blowers. if republicans get control of congress next year, an entirely different story about nancy pelosi's operations for january 6 will burst onto the scene. tonight people get to see the first part of it. the actual whistle blower's memoings to his bosses three days after january 6 and all the intelligence he provided going back to december 21st, 2020. 20. >> sean: we expect that the capitol police chief who had requested the guard, he's coming out with the book and that's supposed to be equally as explosive? >> i've heard those reports and he's writing on a book and a long espy s ex--- expose and one showing capitol police had plenty of warnings and explicit detail and nonstop war warning s they got their police department ready for january 6, they left all that intelligence out. i encourage everybody to take a look at the riot unit document. the document that gave to riot control units and saying no threat analysis at all. that w

only 9 gop lawmakers voted yes congressman rodney davis of illinois accused the congresswoman of rushingpass it. >> i believe what house democrats and the 1/6 committee are doing is irresponsible and wrong. they've allowed their dislike for one man, president trump, to cloud their judgment, guide their actions, no matter the implications to the constitution or institution they want to uphold. >> the bill comes after the january 6th committee revealed president trump and his team sought to pressure vice president pence. the bill would reaffirm that the vice president has a purely administrative role in counting electoral votes. it races the number of lawmakers to object. forces states to certify only lawful winners and block states from changing election rules after an election. the senate's still working on its own version. >>> we're now less than seven weeks out from the mid-term elections with republicans trying to take back control of the congress some new polls are out and they show incredibly close races for a couple of crucial senate seats. first, ohio. a marist poll shows a statis

my colleague from illinois, rodney davis, brought forward h.r. 82 to repeal w.e.p. and g.p.o. i'm a proud co-sponsor of this bill along with 300 other members of this house. since the 117th congress convened, we worked together as democrats and republicans to find a way to bring this bill to the floor for a vote and after nearly a year and a half of being denied, we worked to have it place on the consensus calendar, a process that could force the bill to come to the house floor. only when we were on the cusp of forcing a floor vote and had 300 members ready to support this measure did democratic leadership take action to remove the legislation from the consensus calendar and eventually bog it down in a backlog. mr. speaker, it is unconscionable to know that some will play procedural games and deny this opportunity to vote on a bill that fixes such an obvious wrong. what am i supposed to say to the people like carla morrow? that despite the fact that we were sent here to solve problems, we'll just kick the can down the road, is that the answer we're ok relaying to her and the t

>> it is interesting, rodney davis the ranking member of house administration committee basically said that the system worked. right? so i guess the riot was okay. i mean, i know that davis was not in favor of the riot. but to say that the system worked without change when we had that kind of riot and an ex-president who whipped people into a frenzy by lying to them, that is just dumb. and, you know, the republican leadership whipped against the bill. i think it is very unfortunate, but it is a bipartisan bill and of course there is bipartisan work in the senate to also do a bill. there is a lot of overlap, there is a few dissimilarities. but i'm confident that we can bridge what few gaps there are and come up with a good strong bicameral, bipartisan law that will make our country safer and i hope that we can do that in the very near future. >> the republican leadership whipped against the crist sense of the select committee, the republican leadership wanted people who are under scrutiny for their roles, and i wonder if the republican members will be a focus of your next public hearing
