also, his life partner, sandra garza. sandra, i know, initially, you couldn't even watch video of what happened on january 6th and i can certainly understand why. i know, ultimately, you did decide to. because you wanted to see everything you could, and understand what happened that day. when you see these new videos, i mean, showing the -- the intimate horror of the insurrection. i'm wondering what goes through your mind? what stands out, to you? >> well, it's heart-wrenching. it's disturbing. and some of the footage is just downright sadistic. some of those violent protestors were absolutely -- that's just the best word to put it as sadistic to the officers. and it's -- like i said, it's heart-wrenching. it's brutal, for me to watch. especially, to know that brian was there, that day. and, you know, experiencing what the officers were experiencing, as well as seeing this. and to know, his last moments on earth were, you know, experiencing all of this. it's just horrible. it's heartbreaking. >> yeah. i mean, gladys, no on

joining me is congressman and former impeachment manager eric swalwell author of "endgame" and sandra garzaick. normally i give deference to the congressman, forgive me, miss garza first. how did it feel to watch only two republicans vote to investigate at tack that took brian sicknick from you? >> joy, it was like a knife to my heart. it really was. it was a travesty and i think it really speaks to the fact that there are only two republicans that have a backbone and that care about this country, democracy as a whole, and all of law enforcement who bravely fought for them all that day. it really, really upsets me and of course, it's a spit in the face to my brian, which really, really upsets me. >> is his mom okay, after having witnessed that today? >> she was very upset, too. i mean, it's hard to listen to. it was hard listening to, you know, we listened to some of the debate before the vote, and you know, to hear their excuses as to why they don't want to support the vote, you know, it's very upsetting, but you know, we're both survivors. we got through it and we're going to continue to

joining us now is sandra garza life partner of capitol police officer brian sicknick who was pepper sprayed, battled rioters for miles, and died the next day. sandra, i am sorry we are talking under these circumstances. when you continue to see all of these efforts to white wash, to diminish what happened on january 6th, the suggestion that these folks were just walking between the velvet ropes in the statuary hall and acting like tourists, as someone who is still in the midst of deep grief and profound loss, how do you tolerate that? >> well, anderson, first i want to thank you so much for having me on your show. and it is very difficult. it makes me incredibly angry, which is why i continue to speak out. it enrages me that they continue to gas light their supporters. they're not doing the right thing. that is the thing that upsets me the most. they all have an opportunity to do the right thing by not only their constituents but the american people as a whole. what happened on january 6th should unite us as americans. and they're not doing that. it disgusts me. it is despicable. it needs t

. >> i'm joined now by sandra garza.u for being on the show. >> some of the details as you know, i wonder how you're doing this morning and what your reaction has been now that you have had time to digest it. >> honestly, to hear that clip of mitch mcconnell making excuses is enraging. this is full protection of trump. they don't want a full commission because they know it would expose donald trump for inciting that riot that day. >> tell me more, do you think it was a mistake to not consider the trump factor that day? >> in my opinion i think trump was the gun and those people were the trigger for him that day. as far as i'm concerned he has blood on his hands for the people that died that day as well as suicides that occurred after, and for officer billie evans, and thank god there has not been any other suicides after the fact. but that issing something that i as a mental health professional am very concerned about. and unseen injuries from that day, but i absolutely 100% hold trump accountable for that day. the peopl

i will be joined by sandra garza, partner of fallen police officer brian sicknick. looking forward to that. >>> joe manchin wants to decide the future of voting rights for people of color. he is making major concessions to republicans, which could portend very bad things for other democratic priorities. >>> the heat might be geting to tonight's worst. he has bigger priorities than keeping constituents cool. >>> it was an historic day at the white house. >> juneteenth has been known by many days. jubilee day, freedom day, liberation day, emancipation day. today, a national holiday.

i want you to listen to what sandra garza, the partner of fallen officer brian sicknick, what she said about that just a short time ago. >> it's despicable, and they're all cowards. they could never do what the officers did that day. i loved what you said earlier on too about them kissing donald trump's ring. if they're going to kiss anybody's rings, it should be the officers that were there that day that saved their butts. >> is that vote a slap in the face to all law enforcement? >> it's absolutely a slap in the face, and it's also a tell, don. if they can't vote for honoring these police officers because it would be an affront to former president donald trump, then it's because former president donald trump thought that these officers got in the way of something that he wanted to succeed. i mean, you know, you have to follow the logic of this. i mean i haven't heard any other explanation that makes sense for why they wouldn't do this. and so this is basically, again, backing the purpose behind this insurrection, which was to, you know, overthrow the government, overthrow the rule of

. >> i spoke with officer sicknick's life partner sandra garza last night and she said it enragers her they gaslight it. she was a trump supporter, as was officer sicknick apparently. to hear that rioter you spoke to say he doesn't know if officer sicknick is even dead, i mean, it's beyond insulting to -- of usually the officer's hmemor and sacrifice of his family. i don't understand how he justifies the views. i understand someone being ignore rant of the facts but the facts out there and available, i mean, what's his excuse? >> i came away in a lot of these interviews feeling sorry for these people because they have been lied to for so long. they've been lied to by a president who has been scamming for years and years and years, long before he was president. they've been lied to and deceived by these so-called media outlets that led them down the conspiracy theories where they only get news from the echo chamber kind of conspiracy profit news outlets and as ruben said, they are being lied to but politicians who know better, anderson, but see, power and profit and spreading these lies

i want to go out front now sandra garza, long time partner of officer sicknick.e you speaking out, i know it is incredibly hard to do so. what happened and the truth matters. when you hear this before. they had information about a threat on january 6th and did not warn the rest of the department. the federal intelligence committee fail to warn as well. capitol police were not prepared. what's your reaction? >> honestly, i look at it a little differently here. i don't think that it is all capitol police's fault as well as a failure of intelligence, i mean i also don't blame other law enforcement agencies. let's face it, the secret service clearly did not get the memo either. they had the vice president in the building. i did read if the report that and i don't know the reasons but it appears that the department of justice, the department of homeland security had not given the committee all the information they need. i don't know what that's about. i do know the fbi in particular as well as some of these sister agencies have been working diligently and incredibly h

they were not able to clear their schedule or make any amount of time for gladys sicknick and sandra garzaol hill and last week prior to the january 6th commission, holding six senator -- republican senators voted in favor of the commission and nancy pelosi has floated the idea of potentially having another vote happen again because since potentially seven gop senators would have voted for this measure. but senator pat toomey was not present for the vote on friday, making it only three more republicans who would have to vote in favor of the commission in order to push it through. which means, potentially, maybe officer sicknick's family might go back to the hill as several of these senators told it that they would be willing to meet with the family. they just didn't have adequate time last week. >> that's really good reporting, jackie. thank you for that. everyone should subscriber to your newsletter. jackie alamani, thank you. thanks for getting up "way too early" on this wednesday morning. folks, get ready for what can only be described as a very special "morning joe." live from new york

the family of brian sicknick, his mother, his longtime partner sandra garza. they felt very strongly that they be there today and that this select committee happened. i will tell you i spoke to republican sources who said that nancy pelosi was smart to invite them today. and i spoke to other republican sources who admitted they were embarrassed that there were representatives of the police there today. >> all right, jamie gangel, thanks so much. really appreciate it. >>> day seven and 147 people still missing. tireless rescue teams fighting some terrible odds and bad weather as the search continues in surfside, florida. stay with us. >>> july 4th, celebrate with fireworks and music from billie ray cyrus, blues traveler, chicago, flo rida, foreigner, samy hagar and the circle and more. the fourth in america live july 4th at 7:00. way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a

. >> i spoke with officer sicknick's life partner, sandra garza, last night. and she told me it enrages her that republicans continue to gaslight their supporters about the insurrection. by the way, she was a trump supporter, as was officer sicknick, apparently. so, to hear that rioter you spoke to say he doesn't know if officer sicknick is even dead. i mean, it's beyond insulting to, obviously, to the officer's memory, sacrifice to his family. i -- i don't understand how he justifies these views. i mean, i understand somebody being ignorant of the facts. but when the facts are out there, and available. i mean, what's his excuse? >> i -- i came away, in a lot of these interviews, feeling sorry for these people. because they have been lied to for so long. they've been lied to by a president, who has been scamming for years and years and years, long before he was president. they have been lied to and deceived by these so-called media outlets who have led them down these conspiracy theories, where they only get their news from these echo chamber kind of conspirac

let me show you something that happened on hallie jackson's program from sandra garza, the partner ofy of them really knew the severity of the threat that day, but donald trump did, and the people in his administration i believe did, and that's why these republicans don't want it -- some of the republicans -- i don't want to say all, because clearly, you know, for me this is about the person. this isn't about the party. this is about the person. they knew, and that's why they don't want this full commission, because it's going to expose a lot of ugliness, and they want to sweep it under the rug. i'm not going to allow them to do that. i'm going to expose them for what they are. >> no doubt her commitment, and i don't doubt her ability to do what she said she's going to do, expose them. as barbara details, having worked with evidence and records, it is all knowable. it is knowable who paid for the space. it is knowable where the money flowed between the trump campaign and the people who carried out the insurrection. these things, it is knowable how many times kevin mccarthy was on the

i especially want to recognize gladys, sicknick, brother of brian, and sandra garza, his friend and partner. but it's clear that january 6 was not simply an attack on the capitol building, it was an attack on our democracy. . every member here knows that january 6 was an attempt to subvert our democracy. but many across the aisle refuse to admit the truth. they refuse to admit the truth, but when they voted against certifying the president, president biden's election that night, they refused to admit the truth when they voted against the creating of a bipartisan commission to investigate the attack. they refused to admit the truth when they call that day a normal tourist visit. and today when they -- many will vote against establishing a select committee to investigate that day, they will again refuse to admit this truth. but they did that 100% of them voted no against putting resources for -- to -- ensure the security of our capitol police and the security of this building. 175 republicans voted no. when it came time for the commission when it came time for the commission, 35, yes, on the
