this is something proposed by liz cheney and zoe lofgren.ing another january 6th because that's the goal here, right? you've got the senate that has a similar plan in the works but with only a few weeks left in the current congressional term and lawmakers split on which way to go, you could see a lame duck showdown. ali and look are with us. ali, let me start with you on these reforms. in some ways, this is a bill that comes from the work of the january 6th select committee, which both women serve on. >> that's right. you have to look at what's in it and you'll see those direct lines between what the committee has been presenting in its hearings and then the legislative fixes they've been proposing. saying that the vice president's role in counting votes the ministerial, taking any question of what the vice president can do out of question. trying to define that better. also raising the threshold to objecting to electors. something that was a key conversation happening during january 6th that the committee has spent so much time focusing on.

are the vice chair of the january 6th committee liz cheney and one of her counterpart members, zoe lofgren, this is something to expect to see more of in the interim and final reports but certainly this is one of the key legislative outputs here. >> it is fascinating, just to double back a little bit as you mentioned, zoe lofgren, it jogged me, an interview a couple of months ago and ginni thomas was coming to the surface and doubling back to the thomas news, and asked me whether they wanted testimony from thomas, and at the time they weren't interested and it shows as things are surfacing how this investigation is really developing. >> things changing incredibly fast. >> as always, thank you. >>> i want to bring in now white house reporter for "politico," and msnbc contributor as well. let's talk ginni thomas for a moment if we can. i want it read for you a part of the letter to ginni thomas from the january 6th committee, honing in on and specifically it is the conversation, and writing this, we're specifically investigating the activities of president trump, john eastman, and others, as

. >> i'm joined now by congresscongr congresswoman zoe lofgren. thank you for making time for us on a holiday weekend. you have the former president of the united states calling the current president of the united states an enemy of the state. your response? >> well, it's bizarre. and president biden did caution americans about extremism in his speech in philadelphia. and the ex-president is proving his case to call out law enforcement as vicious enemies. i understand that he identified an fbi agent by name on his social media, probably exposing that law enforcement official to threats that we've seen. it's just weird and, you know, that he makes everything about himself. the republican voters i know here in my district, they didn't steal classified documents and put them in a little room off their pool. the ex-president did that. it's a weird speech. >> he also referred to members of the fbi the department of justice, as vicious monsters, quote, unquote, vicious monsters. you looked at, along with the committee, trump's rhetoric leading up to jan

zoe lofgren says it's time for the senate to ban assault weapons in schools, not just in san jose, but nationwide. >> i have here on my lapel an f. and sometimes people say what does that stand for? that's my rating from the nra. i wear it with pride. so it's time to get our senators eligible for an f on their lapel. >> according to the city of san jose's website, guns kill or wound more than 200 people each year in san jose. >>> well, today there are new revelations about those documents that were seized from former president trump's mar-a-lago estate. "the washington post" reports some of the material contained top secret u.s. operations normally under lock and key. also information about a foreign government's nuclear capabilities was among the documents seized, according to "the washington post." here is nbc's alice barr. >> reporter: a new level of concern today about the kinds of documents seized from former president trump's florida estate.

congresswoman zoe lofgren from the january 6th committee is with me now.oman, it's good to have you. what more can you tell us about the former speaker's involvement with the trump team? >> well, i think it's laid out in the chairman's letter. you've referenced his role in trying to get the election overturned just before the electoral college met. we also have information about his efforts to get the election overturned even after the riot on the 6th. so, we would like to talk to him and to hear from him about these matters. and i'm hopeful that he will come in. i served with newt gingrich, and i would hope that he would come forward and sit down with us. >> how close to fruition did this plan for these tv ads to arouse anger come? >> well, you know, i don't want to get into all the evidence we compiled, but there was a wide-ranging plot involving many individuals to overturn the election after the election was held. and this was part of that effort. we know that there was an online effort to arouse anger. we've been able to map out some of the online eff

congresswoman anna eshoo and zoe lofgren were at that rally today. >> this is not a partisan issue in the country. but it has become a partisan issue in the congress. so let's turn that around with our voices so that the parents and grandparents of this country can stop worrying every single day as their kids go off to school and whether they will be slaughtered with an assault weapon that day. >> the congresswoman say tougher measures including universal background checks for all gun purchases. would help to prevent more mass shootings. >> and in southwest airlines promotion will let travelers. >> fly with a friend for free. need to act fast, though, to get this deal companion passes have been use. they have to be used between january 4th and march 4th of next year to qualify. southwest rapid rewards members usually need to fly at least 100 one-way flights or at least 125,000 qualifying points in a calendar year. but with this new promotion, travelers must be members of the rewards program and by a round-trip ticket or 2 one-way tickets bite tomorrow. >> next, the obamas went back to

. >>> zoe lofgren introduced a bill in congress today she hopes will prevent what we saw on that fateful day, january 6th. >> scott mcgrew has been joined from across the aisle, this is by republican liz cheney. >> right, the two of them together sit on the january 6th committee. the bill would close some of the loopholes former president trump tried to use to take the presidency back. it would make clear the vice president plays a ceremonial role in the electoral count. he or she cannot actually block the count. it would raise the threshold for congress to challenge electoral results and forbid states from sending replacement electors instead of the electors that people actually elected. the full house will vote on the measure tomorrow. lawyers representing donald trump, meantime, and the department of justice, have meeting together before that special master in new york today. in florida, federal court, meanwhile, trump's lawyers asked the judge to keep blocking the fbi from looking through the evidence it collected until the special master assesses what's in it. the government wants t

geoff: congresswoman zoe lofgren, democrat from california, and a member of the january 6 committee,for your tim >> thank you. ♪ geoff: time now for our weekend briefing. with the midterms now 44 days away, we're taking a closer look at some of the most competitive races around the country. this evening, we're zeroing i on florida. for that, i'm joined by two top political strategists. steve schale ran barack obama's 2008 political campaign in florida and has served as an advisor for lots of statewide races. and al cardenas is the former chair of the florida republica party and served as an adviser for ronald reagan and george h.w. bush. due to some technical issues, mr. cardenas is joining us by phone. it's great to have the both of you with us. >> my pleasure. geoff: let's get down to it. let's start with the senate race between incumbent republican senator marco rubio and congresswoman val demings, former orlando police chief. i just checked this. she is polling about 3 point behind rubio, accoing to the real clear politics polling average. but she's outraised rubio this cycle, sp

i want to thank house administration chair zoe lofgren and i share the remarks of the gentlelady from wyoming about her integrity and her intellect and her conscientious carrying out of her duties as a member of congress. indeed, vice chair cheney's work on this bill and the committee will go down as one of the greatest examples of political courage and integrity. thank you. similarly, i want to thank chairwoman carolyn maloney and her colleagues on the house oversight and reform committee on their work investigating vulnerabilities in our democratic process. we must now come together, not as republicans, not as democrats, not as partisans, but as protectors. we raised our hands and said we would protect the constitution and laws of this nation. this is one of those days that we get to meet that oath. let me conclude, because not only did lincoln argue that elections were essential to free government, he made clear his belief, quote, elections belong to the people, it's their choice, that is what this legislation is about. stand up for your country. stand up for the people. vote for t

zoe lofgren and i introduced y,legislation earlier today, ani want to be very clear that this is to preventre attacks during election processes, that judge carter i think said it very well when he indicated that president trump and john eastman than not violate the law. so know what you take our effort to reform the electoral count as an indication that donald trump didt not violate the existing w or did not violate the constitution. but i think congress has really important set of duties and obligations, but if you elect people who don't respect the guard rails of our democracy or people don't respect the ruling of the courts, then trying to somehow, trying to prevent fundamental assault on the republic becomes very difficult. we depend upon people of good faith in these offices and i think we've seen a that certainy more than ever before over the last 18 months or so. >> i was a right-handed pitcher in baseball so my tendency is do this, but over here, please. >> please, right here. he shares my hairstyle. >> first thing, thanks for your courage. john kennedy said there's a reason profile

. >> so meantime a california representative zoe lofgren, democrat, announced the select committee willear from donald trump or mike pence. here's more from lofgren. >> i think the former president has made clear he has no intention of coming in, so while we'd like to hear from both of them, i'm not expecting that we necessary will. the vice president had said publicly that he thought he might want to come in, so we were very encouraged by that. but since that time his people have walked it back. >> now, she also declined to share details about the committee's upcoming hearing on wednesday only saying it would include new information for the public. demonstrators gathered in paris sunday to stand in solidarity with iranians protesting the death of mahsa amini. plus we are tracking tropical storm ian as it intensifies and moves towards florida and cuba. stay with us for more. >>> and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton and you are watching "cnn newsroom." an update now on tropical storm ian. it is churning in the caribbean and

member zoe lofgren saying they're getting a lot of information and following the money. where do you see all of this heading? do you have any idea? >> well look, time is ticking on them. they are gonna shortly after this in october to provisional report and a final one in december, and then cheney is, it kinzinger is out. i think they're not certain themselves, and they're having discussion and debate from within. they do a whole new theme, follow the money, the pack or do they try to, i've got a whole new information about the secret service et cetera. i think they haven't figured out yet, so god knows i haven't. >> doug i want to get your reaction there is this new surveillance team by showing a county official in georgia and operatives working with the trump attorney. they spent hours inside a restrictive area of a local elections office on the day that voting systems were breached. there was so much to unpack here. have you got some concerns? >> i'm looking at targeting -- we've seen coming out of a lot of the investigations and reporting, the key objectives of arriv

democratic congresswoman, zoe lofgren, says that the committee received thousands of documents from the secret service, she is concerned. here is what she told pamela brown on wednesday. >> we have got other records from the service that seem to contradict some of what the service have been telling us. it is not clear that the messages that were erased can be recovered from the service, itself. although, that may be possible from the department of homeland security. the fact that they were erased, after they were told to preserve it is disturbing. every time i look at that, i have more questions. it doesn't look good. >>> sarah palin is not heading to the u.s. congress, at least not yet. the formal public nominee for vice president has lost her bid to fill alaska's vacant house seat. trump backed palin was defeated by mary peltola, who will become the first indigenous member of congress. palin blamed the loss on the system of ranked choice voting, used for the first time in the special election. the people of alaska do not want the destructive democrat agenda to rule our land and our li

zoe lofgren, but particularly cheney. she had been speaking at the texas tribune festival over the weekend and saturday night, she said multiple times, i do not think people who deny the results of an election should be in office. she encouraged voters to make sure they did not control the levers of government. it's one of the reasons why we may or may not see this as the last hearing when we do get it because she has messages she wants to put in front of voters between now and election day. >> what do you think about that, david? look at states like maryland, pennsylvania, where you've got full blown election deniers running for governor. people running for secretaries of state. it would not necessarily protect our democracy. >> it is one of the great threats to today's democracy and it is true it's a recognition that january 6th was almost just halftime. that this movement toward antidemocratic action that is get permission structure for one of today's two major parties, if that is to continue, this is a danger. i think

i want it show you what congresswoman zoe lofgren had to say and it was at the january 6th committee and we now learned that doj is potentially investigating for fraud the trump super pac that raised money off the lie. i want to put to you another question about whether this is just a slower, more opaque process at doj or whether some of the evidence presented by the 1/6 committee has helped shape or direct some of their leads. let's watch that first. >>> every american is entitled and encouraged to participate in our electoral process. political fund-raising is part of that. small dollar donors use scarce disposable income to support candidates and causes of their choosing to make their voices heard and those donors deserve the truth about what those funds will be used for. throughout the committee's investigation, we found evidence that the trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for. so not only was there the big lie, it was the big ripoff. donors deserve to know where the funds are really going. they deserve bet

that was new statements there by zoe lofgren. we're joined now by john flannery.> good to be here. >> as i mentioned to viewers, we've been in live coverage today with a lot of new information since we started at 6:00 p.m. we've also drown on some of the past reporting we've done. we're here with you live now on labor day having gone through what we've learned about what led up to that day from this evidence. your thoughts about some of what we just took in? >> well, i think it's a devastating indictment in an informal sense of what went wrong and how the desire to win when one lost overcame all lawful constitutional, legal and other normal barriers so that they could replace themselves in an election that they lost. and i think that what you have shown is with that original intent, as they are moving forward, even through the legal cases, there's a pattern of conduct there that tells us from the very beginning we just say we won even though we department. so you go into court and you claim there's been misconduct and there's not, claim there's fraud and there's n

in response to some of those comments, zoe lofgren of california, a member of the january 6th committeethe former president's continued attacks. take a listen to what he had to say. >> in the lead up to january 6th there were extravagant claims made meant to inflame public opinion, and that is what is happening here, although i think it's meant to turn people against law enforcement officers, and we've seen that sometimes that rhetoric reaches people who are prepared to act on it. >> so what she went ton say is that she believes -- she gave the example of a man in ohio who was killed when he tried to attack the fbi agents there. she's saying these continued attacks could amount to incitement. is there real legal concern when it comes to the words of the former president? could he be putting himself, you know, at risk legally? >> well, erica, for the comments that we just heard, no, i don't think that's going to amount to legal incitement. have you to show more direct exhortation to violence. a person has a first amendment right to criticize and question whether it's doj, local law enfor

but as for why it won't be in part-ti prime time, zoe lofgren was asked about that when she was asked. here she is. >> it's true. it's not in prime time. i would note, however, that in the past fox news does play our hearings if the hearing is in the daytime. so that's a factor in reaching an audience that is not watching cnn. >> and ana, of course this won't be the last word from the committee. they have made quite clear that later on in this year, they will be releasing a final report, and we even know that they are asking for interviews with people like ginni thomas, and they even sent a subpoena to the wisconsin speaker of the house over the weekend. ana. >> katelyn polantz, thank you, we're staying on top of the growing mad disturb, the outrage, protests, long lines at border crossings building up as thousands of russians try to escape the kremlin's military draft. as the u.s. warns moscow not to use nuclear weapons. >>> plus, the scandal threatening a football legend's legacy. text messages of how brett favre used welfare money for his personal pet project. >> and hidden airline

. >> liz cheney and zoe lofgren's bill will certify -- >> doug mastriano, the republican nominee forvernor, an election liar, in pennsylvania you don't elect the secretary of state. the governor appoints the secretary of state. so he could and likely would appoint another election liar, and then there you have another state or commonwealth in pennsylvania's case where the person in charge of the elections is opposed to democracy. >> in state after state after state. donald trump has handpicked people who could throw out the results of an election if he doesn't win that state or commonwealth. so it is a critical time, 2020. we averted disaster because there are people in these individual states who follow the law and follow the will of the people. it could be in 2024 it's very different. >> what do you make of people like governor young kin of virginia who knows better and is not an election liar, endorsing and campaigning for people like carrie lake in arizona. >> i think he wants to be president of the united states, i don't think he -- republicans who are members of the so-called e

. >>> meantime, zoe lofgren doubts the select committee will hear from donald trump or mike pence.is more from lofgren. >> if we were trying to get into a subpoena fight with either the former vice president or the former president, that litigation could not be concluded during the life of this congress. and i think the former president has made clear that he has no intention of coming in. so, while we would like to hear from both of them, i'm not expecting that we necessarily will. >> and again, the january 6th public hearing is on wednesday. watch it here on cnn at 1:00 p.m. eastern, that's 6:00 p.m. here in london. >>> now, in italy, exit polls show europe's hard right scored another stunning success at the ballot box. an alliance led by giorgia meloni and her brothers of italy party appear on track for victory as the official results are awaited. meloni, 45-year-old mother from rome will likely become the most far right italian head of government. she spoke to supporters about the challenges that lie ahead. >> translator: when this night is over, we have to remember we must rem

. >> you heard from congresswoman zoe lofgren that we don't know what ginni thomas is coming, she's coming soon but what are you expecting from this interview and wednesdays hearing in general? >> much of this is reported early on the year and i would expect that we are hearing from the communications with mark meadows and top trump aide. some of those have been leaked and reported. it's ginni thomas and mark meadows and the mutual admiration society of encouraging each other to continue in their fight. i can to fight for america, things like that. it may be more on the text messages that we haven't heard yet. but that is primarily what i expect. >> look, what are you hearing about folks on the hill about the hearings on wednesday? i asked congressman laufman. is what we are going to hear on wednesday significant? she didn't hype, it she said it's important. i feel like that is telling the movie i'm reading too much into it. >> this committee has a good track record of delivering the goods. there's been a lot of questions on whether they could produce these revelations each year. as the pu

david, when we hear that reaction from zoe lofgren saying trump's continued attacks could amount to incitementl danger for him corrected to that rhetoric? >> yeah, there is if people take action based on his words. that's a lot of what the january 6th committee is investigating regarding that incident. but if there are people inspired directly by this and cite this as a reason why they take action, for example, some violence against the fbi as we saw in ohio a few weeks ago, then there is a potential threat. the bigger threat is just the overall political environment. at a time when the former president should be explaining how it's possible there were all these classified information documents inside his residence, instead of explaining that, he is going on the offensive and taking on people like he calls the radical left leadership of the fbi, forgetting he appointed the director himself. that's a losing argument for him politically except with a very small base. it does put him in some legal jeopardy but i think the bigger fear at this point is simply that he is not bothering to defend hims

zoe lofgren said they're going to do it in daytime this week so fox news has a higher chance of airingrings to reach conservative viewers. i think that's why the denver riggleman interview wrangled the committee members. it was a very undisciplined leak for a committee that has been very disciplined so far. >> is the goal in trying to reach more conservatives by having a inddaytime hearing is change their minds. or is it to influence an election that will be six weeks from tomorrow? >> that committee is mostly democrats. you can't take the political back drop out of this. i also think there have been substa substantiative disclosures in every hearing, and there are things we probably won't see flushed out in the hearing that are the ongoing work of the committee, whether it's talking with ginni thomas, and trying to understand all that comes with that, wife of a supreme court justice, whether it is the mike pence issue, which certainly sounds like the committee is thinking actively about whether to try to compel more from the vice president himself, not just people who speak for him, a

outgoing congresswoman liz cheney introduced the bill with zoe lofgren.ore the vote she said the bill is important to protect future elections. >> if your aim is to prevent future efforts to steal elections, i would respectfully suggest that conservatives should support this bill if, instead, your aim is to leave open the door for elections to be stolen in the future, you might decide not to support this or any other bill to address the electoral count act. >> well, despite her urging or maybe because of it, republicans mostly did not support the bill. only 9 gop lawmakers voted yes congressman rodney davis of illinois accused the congresswoman of rushing to pass 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

zoe lofgren said over the weekend she's doubtful that that will ultimately play out because a subpoenaond this congress and another subpoena fight any playing out the wisconsin state house speaker has been subpoenaed by this committee to appear by today to discuss his interactions with donald trump over the recent months when donald trump still wants to overturn wisconsin's certified elections. robin voss has filed an emergency law enforcement to block this committee's request for his deposition. >> a lot of battles not to be deposed for this committee. manu raju on the hill, thank you so much. >>> coming up next, now at least 35 people have been killed in as protests for women's rights escalate in iran. it is a brave stand to take there. one of the leaders of the movement to get rid of the mandator mandatory hathab has been targeted. she'll going to join m me live moments. fort worth zyrteeeec works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the barcode beat conductor. ♪ go betty! t's be more than our allergies! zeize the day. zyrtec. i'm j

we got a little smidge of that when it was referred to by congresswoman zoe lofgren as the big ripofflving into that could be useful. not only could it be an independent crime but a motive for donald trump. the other missing piece is a direct connection between donald trump and those who stormed the capitol, including the oath keepers and the proud boys. it may very well be this is something that the justice department is investigating. but it would be useful i think to determine what kind of connections there are between those groups and the people who are in that willard room war room on january 5th. those are the two areas that, some my view, remain unexplored in their entirety. . >> meantime, ryan, let's talk about the latest filing from team trump. what will it mean for the investigation? . >> well, the team trump is trying to go back against doj's arguments i think that came through clearly. they were really frustrated by this idea that there was a question whether classified documents could be personal records. i think you saw it bleed through from doj that they were frustrated

senate bay area representatives anna eshoo and zoe lofgren were at today's event.y said with the new school year under way, no child should feel unsafe. going to school. >> this is not a partisan issue in the country, but it has become a partisan issue in the congress. so let's turn that around with our voices so that the parents and grandparents of this country can stop worrying every single day as their kids go off to school and whether they will be slaughtered with an assault weapon that day. >> the house has already passed legislation to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines as well as universal background checks for all gun purchases. congressman laughlin says that these types of bills could help prevent more mass shootings. it is back to school and back to work and hackers are ramping up cyber attacks against schools, the threat so serious government agencies are warning schools. it they could be the next target. just yesterday we learned that los angeles unified school district, the second largest in the country was the victim of a cyberattack. >>
