once again, from washington, moderator yamiche alcindor. yamiche: good evening and welcome to "washington week." this week, the january 6 committee highlighted two key points from the investigation. former president trump knew he lost the 2020 election and lied anyways. and leading up to january 6, and even on that day, trump tried to bully vice president pence into overturning the election results. on monday, the committee's vice chair liz cheney had this to say. >> president trump rejected the advice of his campaign experts on election night. and instead followed the course recommended by an apparently inebriated rudy giuliani to just claim he won and insist that the vote counting stop. to falsely claim everything was fraudulent. yamiche: during thursday's hearing, witnesses told the committee how trump and lawyer john eastman demanded pence stop the electoral vote count. and they explained why the demands were unconstitutional. >> there is no justifiable basis to conclude that the vice president has that kind of authority. yamiche: conser

[ applause ] you know, it's -- look, it's a results oriented decision. i found that it was not only ignorant but almost dismissive to the point of contempt for women's lives and women's choices and the difficulties that women of all backgrounds -- this has nothing to do with your opinion, your personal

yamiche alcindor, as promised, we did not let you go. let us know if you think these words will ring hollow and some republicans, or if they are going to follow the words of their leader. where he specifically says, i hope it earns broad support in the senate and makes a difference for the country. first up, broad support in the senate. >> well, alex, it is really interesting. mitch mcconnell here, senate minority leader, is saying that he supports the negotiations. but he is not saying i support this framework. his name is also not on the release. although there are ten republicans listed the supporting the framework, which tells you that it seems as though right now, if this turned into law, which of course, the details need to be, workout it could pass the senate. that being, said nothing will pass the senate without the support of mitch mcconnell. so he is being very clear that while he is back in this, he wants to see more. that is why the timing of this, the momentum of this, and the details, alex, are so critical. here it is inter

joining me now is nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor, what's in this frame are, whatators able to get this done today? >> well, vicky, this is a big development that we're hearing this sunday afternoon. ten republicans and ten democrats announcing that they come together will read what's -- nine key points in particular. there is support for state crisis intervention orders, incentivizing states to implement red flag laws, deny guns to people deemed at risk to themselves or others, also investments in children and family mental health services, protection for victims of domestic violence, funding for school base -- funding for school safety resources, and licensed firearm deals, there's also telehealth investment here and a key one -- for americans younger than 21 years old, penalties for -- i also have to point out, let's not in this bill, well that's a significant step there is also wondering whether lawmakers could do more. i want to explain to a couple of things that are not in the bill. there's no ban on semiautomatic weapons, no bannon high capacity magazines, n

attorney and senior fbi official and yamiche alcindor is our nbc news washington correspondent. chuck, first, we noted at the top of this, this was not a criminal proceeding. it's not even an action against a president. so, let me ask you here. what legal bar is there? what's being watched right now at the justice department as they consider whether to charges could emanate from this? >> well, you're exactly right, lester, it's not a criminal proceeding. it's not even really a legal proceeding. there are no rules of evidence. there are no rules of procedure, at least ones that i'm familiar with as a prosecutor. there's no judge. there's no cross-examination. our justice department officials watching this? of course they are. it's important to us as americans but it's also important to them as folks who may bring additional charges against additional people. all that said, this is a big, complex, sprawling multifaceted story. there are parts of it that we heard today that are just like what you would hear in court. congresswoman cheney's opening statement, for instance, in which

healing is set to stage center stage at the aspen ideas festival today in aspen, colorado, where yamiche alcindors live with the president and ceo of kellogg foundation to react to the news and make an announcement of their own. good to see you. good morning. >> good morning. as you mentioned, this is a monumental day for our country. soon to be justice ketanji brown jackson will be the first black woman to serve on the supreme court in its 233-year history. this does come, of course, at a divisive moment for the united states and the high court. to talk more about this and racial issues i'm joined by the president and ceo of the w.k. kellogg foundation. she will join me on a panel here in aspen where we announcing the kellogg foundation is joining forces with nbc universal news group on a collaboration focused on racial equity and healing. thank you for being re. i wan to get yourake on this. really historic day. you are the first woman and black person to head the foundation. what do you make of the fact that justice ketanji brown jackson will take her seat today? what do you think it means for

. >> as yamiche, as nbc's yamiche alcindor, is looking at the, the she's got breaking news at the white on the bipartisan guidance today safety proposal. he says, quote, i want to thank senator chris murphy and the members of his bipartisan group especially senators corn, and tell us, and to me, obviously it does not do everything that is needed. it ripple back support and steps in the right direction. it would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass congress in decades. bipartisan support, there are no excuses for delay, no reason why it could not quickly move to the senate and the house. each day that passes, more children are killed in this country. the sooner comes to mind as, the sooner i can sign it, the sooner we can use these measures to save lives. there it is, really quickly, from the white house, president biden clearly having a statement very quickly about this development that there is this, at least, a deal on a gun framework here in the senate. that tells you that president biden's liking where you say. he's also telling that president biden is thinking tha

i want to bring into the conversation, nbc washington correspondent yamiche alcindor.out how this can affect the midterms and change the general political debate. . >> this is a sea change in abortion access to women across this country for generations. this brings abortion to the center of the midterm elections, the center of the conversation. there were women i talked to on the ground in places like louisiana and mississippi who are going to have to drive hours and hours for abortion access. those women, when i was talking to them, they were not focused on abortion. they didn't even realize that abortion rights were possibly something that could be taken away. this focuses their minds on that, and focuses their minds on what the conservative movement has accomplished. the ncaa calling this an egregious decision. one in four women have had an abortion. 54% of americans want abortion access to be legal in this country in some form. that being said, the conservative majority of course has made it very clear that this is going to be something that they're going to be sti

and yamiche alcindor is back, the moderator of "washington week" on pbs.ears now talked about how nothing changes anything or anyone. i don't know that that holds true anymore. i'm not saying you get 80% of the country to believe the truth, but you might just get 50 plus 1. i think cheney has punctured the bubble this week. >> i think she's punctured the bubble long before this week. i think she's been slowly letting air out of that bubble for sometime. when people begin to see what real democratic, small "d," democratic leadership is about, where an elected official, who clearly has laneways of partisanship that she can go down, i mean, there's no doubt about her bona fides as a conservative, and so forth. but people look how you rise in the hour, how you stand in the moment, and she has shown, despite the attacks against her by feckless men in the party, despite, you know, umbrages foisted upon her by so-called conservatives in her own state, the reality of it is, she's shown the country a way forward. and she has, at the beginning of this hearing, as sh

joining us our panel, joyce vance, frank figliuzzi, chuck rosenberg and yamiche alcindor. your experience at doj, with the law as a prosecutor and fbi official, how much running room does new york have to try to define sensitive areas? pete williams earlier today was telling us that even justice alito brought up the issue of times square and the subways and said, well, the subways shouldn't be a sensitive area because i might want to carry my gun if i'm coming home late at night. even if that oral argument, they seem to be indicating they are going to have a very limited view, this court, about what can still be defined for carrying with a permit -- requiring a permit. >> that's a great question, andrea. what will be a sensitive area going forward might depend on who you are and where you live and how you think about it. how about subways? how about buses? how about times square? how about schools? how about government buildings and different municipalities may think about it differently. what that means is you are going to have more legislating, but also more litigating.

yamiche alcindor is here, moderator of washington week on pbs.on it but this one said that rudy, of everything that was said about his claims being b.s. but bill barr, everything that was said about the campaign manager, bill stepien, the campaign advisor, jason miller, having different advice than what rudy said, the only thing that bothered him today was jason miller's sworn testimony, all we saw, but the congressman says there's lots more where that came from, that he was inebriated. >> it's remarkable, nicole, but all of this is remarkable. the fact that there were not one, but two people on tape saying that rudy giuliani was obviously intoxicated, inebriated, while he then told former president trump to do something that no other president in u.s. history has ever done and that is declare victory when it was clear that he had not won the election. i think that, of course, there were so many things laid out in this hearing. this was really, i think, the lawmakers cracking the black box into the white house. we saw, from people very close to p

yamiche alcindor, frank figliuzzi and chuck rosenberg and barbara mcquiad.monies from police officers who were there defending the capitol. but the committee felt it was important for the public, on night one, to hear the story, to hear this testimonial from somebody who was there. >> officer edwards did paint this image of just trauma and devastation and fear and shock of officers who were fighting for their lives, fighting for the integrity of american elections, fighting to keep the lives of the lawmakers in that building safe. i thought it was striking that she talked about seeing brian sicknick who was the officer who died the day after the insurrection of strokes. she said she saw him and he looked pale, almost like the sheet of paper. in that room, you have brian sicknick's mother listening to that, crying. you had other officers who we heard talk about the trauma of the day, crying in that room. it focused this and said, yes, this is a crisis, this is a culmination of a conspiracy, but this was devastating for the human beings who had to be there tha

yamiche alcindor, frank figliuzzi, chuck rosenberg and joyce vance and michael steele.ck, i want to start with you and ginni thomas. we heard from chairman bennie thompson -- this is going to be a bug on me all day. i know it. he said that, again, the committee wants to hear from ginni thomas. they are going to try to get her in in the next few weeks and did not rule out, at least, a subpoena if she does not comply. these emails between ginni thomas and john eastman, what are you going to be looking out for in particular? >> first, i think the thomas thompson thing will get me, too. bear with me. >> all of us. >> second, i think it's really interesting that she has had such extensive correspondence with john eastman. the committee has spoken to over 1,000 people. not all of them are central. not all of them are critical witnesses. some are peripheral. it struck me as odd that they had not asked her to come and testify before the committee. that said, it makes sense that they are reaching out to her now. they should not exclude her because she's married to a justice on t

senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake, ben collins and washington correspondent yamiche alcindor. garrett, let me start with you. i see you in the hallways. i'm sure there's activity. i know you framed this as kind of a prequel to what we saw last week. talk me through it. >> if you are going to do these hearings chronologically, this would have happened before the pence hearing. it's the failure of the effort, as the committee will lay out, by president trump to flip states to find false electors, to find votes in states that weren't there. as efforts started to fail, it increased the pressure on mike pence and the focus on january 6. a bit out of order if you were to do this chronologically. you could see today as the context for why january 6 did occur. it's this failure. i think you were talking about georgia. we know the story about brad ref raffensperger. it was covered in real time. what i'm going to watch today is the arizona portions of this. we know there was a pressure campaign in arizona. we know rudy giuliani was involved in it. we haven't seen as much reporting abou

capitol hill correspondent ali vitali, nbc washington correspondent yamiche alcindor, joining us fromen, from the ideas festival there, and "new york times" chief white house correspondent peter baker, betsy woodruff-span and chuck rosenberg. ali, let's talk about the buzz up there surrounding this hearing. >> andandrea, a lot of buzz. very spur of the moment. we were under the impression we were going to have several weeks of quiet from this committee as they went back to the drawing board and sort of figured out what new facts they gathered as they went into the final narrative phase of the hearings. we thought they were going to pick up mid july. that's still our understanding. this is a hearing that was not even officially part of their initial count of seven hearings. it speaks to the urgency and questions unanswered, even though we know cassidy hutchinson is testifying in person. we have a little bit of a sense of what she's previously told the committee in four different testimonies that she's done with them. there's a lot of questions about what's new here that she could possi
