lisa: parts of silicon valley sit in representative zoe lofgren's district. ents california's 18th district, including san jose. and that's where she is now. representative lofgren, welcome back to the "newshour.” i want to start with banks and the bank failure there in silicon valley. do you think that that was an issue of federal regulators asleep at the switch, or was the law too loose? rep. zoe lofgren (d-ca): i think both. we did release the regulatory requirements on banks of this size in 2018. i voted against it, a no-vote that looks better and better now, but also there was an obligation for the federal reserve to do some supervision. and i think there was a failure there as well. i do think, however, that the situation has now stabilized. the potential for very serious harm to the entire banking system and to the american economy was present, and i hope and believe has now been averted. lisa: you know, both the silicon valley bank and its ceo, donate it to your campaign and the campaign of other politicians. that's not uncommon, but there has been a l

joining me now is zoe lofgren, a member of the 16 selec committee. she was an impeachment manager for trump's firs impeachment trial. she's also a member of the house judiciary committee. congresswoman, thank you for joining us this evening. i want to get your reaction to donald trump's posts, claiming he will be arrested on tuesday without any evidence, you have a unique perspective on th power of trump's words what did you think when you sa it >> well, i was concerned the last time he asked peopl to protest, a mob attacked the u.s. capitol so, that's a concern, we don't know whether he will in fact b indicted, but to call out hi mob, or followers is a concern in fact, the fact that speaker mccarthy had to say today. that he was against violence means that i'm not the only on who's concerned about this >> glad you brought that point up, it seems like he was tryin to walk back his own statement yesterday in terms of coolin down the intensity that he helped amplify i talked about this with m panel before the break but i'd like to ge your take on home

thank you so much, congresswoman zoe lofgren, for joining us this evening. nbc news justice reporter who has been closely following the fallout from the january 6th attack. tara step meyer worked as a republican communications director on capitol and is now speaking at biden for the lincoln project. welcome to you both. so ryan, i'm going to start with you, my friend. what do you even make about this field trip tomorrow? and kevin mccarthy's visit today with ashley babbitt's mom. >> yeah, ashley babbitt's mom has been a pretty effective person within the republican caucus, i would say. you see her all the time when you're covering a lot of these hearings in federal court, won a lot of the cases are ongoing. there is a significant contingency of -- i think with tomorrow, the important thing to focus on is just who these individuals are who are locked up pretrial and i think it works a lot better for them, when they talk more broadly about this idea of, there's a bunch of political prisoners being held, and they don't nail down specifics. they never want to ge

joining me now, former member of the now disbanded january 6th select committee, representative zoe lofgrenjoining us. we're learning more and more about what these fox executives and their anchors were saying in connection with the 2020 presidential election. clearly, very strong contrast to what they were saying publicly at the time, especially on the air. what do you hope the american public gathers from all of this? >> well, it's pretty displaying to see that they were obviously lying to their audience. and i think what the takeaway is, you can't necessarily believe what they say. so-called fox news is made up. pretty pathetic. >> these filings do show that the fox host tucker carlson texted privately that he passionately hated, his words, passionately hated donald trump while advancing the former president's lies that the election had been stolen from him. how do you square that kind of hypo hypocrisy? >> well, i don't think you can. what he said on his show was false and apparently he knew it was false. so i think there's no way to make that look nice, is there? >> the house speaker k

. >>> joining us now is congresswoman zoe lofgren of california. she's also an attorney. what is your response to your republican colleagues there? >> well, really, it is shocking. this is obviously improper. i can't recall a time ever where a congressional committee tried to intimidate a prosecutor from pursuing a case that he or she thought should be brought. it is -- it's very improper and, well, i guess, it is some of what my extremist colleagues across the aisle do. things that are not normal and highly improper. >> so, based on what we know about this case, do you think that it rises to the magnitude of such an unprecedented action, arresting a former president? >> i don't know what the case is. other than what i read in the newspapers. you know, i always wondered how michael cohen ended up going to prison but the person he says ordered him to do it was not under scrutiny. but that is just my idle wondering. none of us know what the -- what the district attorney is doing. and we'll find out. he may or may not bring an indictment. you know, the way our criminal justi

joining us now is california democratic congresswoman and former member of the january 6th committee zoe lofgrenff-guard, thanks so much for joining. as there's a lot to talking talk about, especially given you are a sense of an exhaustive work on the january 6th committee. what's your reaction to the -- republican convened weaponization of the federal government committee? the witness problem they seem to be having? >> well, i'm not on that committee, as you know. i'm on the judiciary committee. but i did have a chance to read through some of congresswoman plaskett's report. and it looks like they have got some very sketchy witnesses who are not whistleblowers. they try to qualify as whistleblowers and -- they don't know what they are talking about from the testimony. and they are conspiracy theorists. if this is what republicans are going to embrace, hang on for a wild ride. i mean, who thought that we would be at a time when the leaders of one of our major political parties was openly endorsing and embracing criminal conduct. i mean, the january 6th defendants, most of them, have pled guilty
