pictures at the room on capitol hill where the house select committee investigating the january 6th commission is about to vote on holding the former whitecooperate. let's discuss with democratic congressman pete aguilar of california. as you know, meadows' lawyer is asking your committee to reconsider these contempt charges, arguing this referral would be, in the lawyer's words, contrary to law since meadows invoked executive privilege in good faith. will meadows have one final opportunity to comply, or is this already a done deal? >> we're going to move forward with the meeting this evening. by virtue of not showing up to the committee discussion and deposition last week, mr. meadows can be held in contempt. so we know his lawyer has continued to send some letters. chairman thompson has sent letters back each and every time. we're always willing to have conversations, but we're going to proceed today. what we have heard so far is not enough. mr. meadows has submitted documents and materials but will not answer any questions related to the documents and materials he sent us. by virtue of not showing up, he can be held in contempt. >> th

standpoint, the best thing that can be said about president's commission is that it's finally over because now it will force not just the biden white houseectively to grapple with the question of what should be done about this court. if you are president biden, this served its purpose. he announced the formation of this commission. the closing to the campaign amid calls for expansion of the court in the aftermath of amy coney barrett's confirmation, he did not want to take a position on this issue. and so they set up a six-month timeline for this commission, which has basically produced a glorified book report, assessments of which had been happening in the court for years now. so there's really nothing new in this report. my hope here is that you know, one of the smartest, if not the smartest person in the united states of america in the democratic party when it comes to the combination of american politics is ron klain. this is a guy that's had a perspective on these issues. he was the top aide for joe biden and he was the point person for rbg and bill clinton's white house. he understands the value of judges more than anybody. he's th

makes having the right person on the school board or county commission with state legislature and the governor's office and present in the white house. all of that matters more than i thought and i thought it was important before then. if we do care about the world that god has asked us to go to seek the welfare piece ifit you will s then one of the ways we n best serve that is in the public arena and exam area that if our response is to say away with all of it i'm going to go worry about eternal things, i think we are missing part of what our calling is. >> there is another section that sums that up. at the end of chapter 12 it is for a time like this that christians are being called to the public square but not in the ways we've traditionally approached it. for people that understand it's just accompaniedru by a humble spirit and require citizens who are committed to both truth and love, not one oror the other. it can be people that seek the truth of the places we've been exiled knowing that god has tied our welfare to the welfare of the places he's called us. >> that is the argument i was just making. when i speak to audiences, i

last night the january 6th commission revealed that during the capitol riots, the white house chief of got texts for pleading for trump to calm things down from fox news anchors and donald trump jr. yeah trump ignored the advice of the closest to him and also don jr [ laughter ] trump was like, "if i replied to every text that said 'what you're doing is crazy,' i'd never get anything done. [ laughter ] yeah, it came out that fox news hosts were begging for trump do something. and today's fox news hosts lit tree on fire again just to change the subject [ laughter ] trump didn't want to hear it not only did trump ignore texts from the fox news, he also dropped them from his family cell phone plan. [ laughter ] that's right, white house chief of staff mark meadows was getting texts during the attack asking trump to intervene. for example, sean hannity texted, and this is real, "can he make a statement ask people to leave the capital?" yep, that's not all meadows received several other messages that day, too for example, eric trump texted, "head stuck in capital staircase railing. send hel

the commission's vice chair, liz cheney, unveiling multiple attempts outside the white house to convince trump to call off his supporters as they ransacked our capitol. messages from trump's own son to his die-hard supporters like laura ingraham of fox news who message the chief of staff saying, mark, the president needs to tell people in the capitol to go home. this is hurting all of us. this is destroying his legacy. a surprising admission from someone who downplayed what the supporters did on january 6th. while it's big, just one small development in a week of new findings, making it harder and harder for republicans to ignore, including mitch mcconnell appearing eager to learn what else the commission finds. >> we're watching the investigation that's occurring over in the house. reading about it like everyone else. and it'll be interesting to see what facts they find. it was a horrendous event and i think that what they're seeking to find out is something the public needs to know. >> joining me now, msnbc contributor and former watergate prosecutor jill wine-banks. she is cohost of t

a press conference last friday or thursday about this cbo report that he commissioned, speaker pelosi, jen psaki, the white house press secretary, they came out and slammed the report as a fake report, it doesn't really reflect the truth of the bill and graham commissioned that report as if all of the programs in the bill were permanent. and so that is exactly what senator manchin has been saying. that's exactly what his fear has been. and you can say he definitely bought that report, he certainly didn't think it was fake. and so he's been saying that every single day. listen, if we're going to do programs in this bill, we need to make sure their targeted because we need to make sure the true cost is reflected in the end. and that is actually something he said this morning on fox news. and something interesting that bernie sanders hit back, he called him out for being the reason why the child tax credit is going to expire, for being the reason why all of these programs that you just said are popular, either won't make it in, the american people won't get it, or they'll expire and run out at the end of the year f

our nation but just last week president biden's presidential commission on the supreme court took no position on court packing. the white house is announcing 9 new federal court nominations bringing the number of biden's total nominees to 73 with nearly three quarters of the women. the white house touting the range of selections writing the choices continue to fulfill the president's promise to ensure the nation's courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets of the country but one of biden's judicial nominees is under fire for calling us election standard anti-democratic, listen to this. >> we had obviously lots of practices that are anti-democratic that entrench in some ways minority will in this country. the senate. the electoral college and maldistribution of political power the results from those institutions. >> republicans pressed him on his past social media posts slamming gop senators but he's now saying he regrets the tony used. >> mark levin says the push to pack the court is a democrat power graham. >> it was before and is a thug and a liar. you got to college lying about her ethnicity, she conti
