INTEGRATE HER SCHOOL IN 1950s.
BUT WE HAVE A MOMENT THATS
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G BUT WE HAVE TO
BEGIN WITH SOMETHING MUCH
DARKER. WARN YOU ITS DISTURBING TO
WARN YOU ITS DISTURBING TO
WATCH.
THIS IS NEWLY RELEASED VIDEO
EVIDENCE FROM THE CAPITOL
INSURRECTION, SHOWING A POLICE
OFFICER BEING DRAGGED INTO THE
RAGING MAGA MOB AS THEY ENGAGE
IN LITERAL HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT.
AMONG SEVERAL NEW VIDEOS
RELEASED FROM GOVERNMENT TODAY
AT REQUEST OF NBC NEWS AND OTHER
OUTLETS.
INCLUDE VIDEOS WHERE YOU CAN
HEAR MEMBER OF THE MOB TELL
POLICE QUOTE YOURE GOING TO DIE
TONIGHT.
>> [ BLEEP ] YOURE GOING TO DIE
TONIGHT.
>> NEEDLESS TO SAY, FRESH
REMINDER WHY THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON JANUARY 6th HAS GOT
TO GET TO BOTTOM OF WHAT
MOTIVATED THAT UNPRECEDENTED
ATTACK ON AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE SAYS
THE PROBE IS OFFICIALLY GETTING
UNDER WAY.
CONGRESSMAN BENNY THOMPSON SAID
TODAY THE FIRST HEARING HELD
THIS MONTH, JULY 21st OR 22nd.
AFTER HAVING APPOINTED EIGHT
MEMBERS TO THE COMMITTEE,
INCLUDING REPUBLICAN LIZ CHENEY,
NANCY PELOSI IS STILL WAITING ON
KEVIN McCARTHY TO FILL THE
REMAINING SPOTS.
CHAIRMAN SAID THEYRE MOVING
FORWARD WITH OR WITHOUT
McCARTHYS INPUT.
>> IS THE HEARING HAPPENING
WHETHER THERE ARE McCARTHY
SELECTED REPUBLICANS ON THE
PAENL OR NOT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
HOPE THAT KEVIN McCARTHY GIVES
US HIS FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO
FULLY POPULATE THE COMMITTEE.
IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO, WELL
STILL DO OUR WORK.
>> FOR HIS PART, KEVIN IS
WHINING THAT THE SELECT
COMMITTEE IS UNFAIR.
HERES CRYBABY KEVIN LAST NIGHT.
>> THIS IS THE LEAST BIPARTISAN
COMMITTEE YOU CAN FIND.
THINK ABOUT THE STRUCTURE, ITS
NOT EQUAL NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS.
OR DEMOCRATS.
SHE APPOINTED ADAM SCHIFF AND
RAS
RASKIN.
THIS IS IMPEACHMENT COMMITTEE,
ONLY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SUBPOENA
POWER.
>> THROWING TEMPER TANTRUM OVER
A PROBLEM OF HIS OWN CREATION.
ONLY REASON ITS NECESSARY IS HE
AND HIS PARTY REJECTED A
BIPARTISAN COMMISSION TO CARRY
OUT THIS SAME INVESTIGATION.
IF McCARTHY WANTED EVEN SPLIT OF
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, WOULD
HAVE SUPPORTED THE COMMISSION
GIVING EACH PARTY EQUAL
REPRESENTATION.
IF HE WANTED SUBPOENA POWER
WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED THE
COMMISSION THAT SHARED THAT
POWER AMONG MEMBERS OF BOTH
PARTIES.
McCARTHY NEGOTIATED THE TERMS OF
THAT COMMISSION THROUGH HIS
HAND-PICKED EMISSARY KATKO OF
NEW YORK, AND STILL WHIPPED THE
REPUBLICAN HOUSE VOTE AGAINST
IT.
LATE STAGE OF THE GAME, McCARTHY
NEEDS TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
JOINING ME NOW, CONGRESSWOMAN
DEAN, IMPEACHMENT MANAGER
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
ITS AMAZING TO ME THE CHUTZPAH
OF KEVIN McCARTHY COMPLAINING HE
DIDNT GET THE COMMISSION HE
REJECTED.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> I AGREE COMPLETELY.
BUT REMEMBER THAT MR. McCARTHY
LIKE MR. McCONNELL HAS LOST ALL
CREDIBILITY.
BOTH SPOKEN OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF
THEIR MOUTHS.
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR FAKE
WORDS AND WHINING AND
COMPLAINING LIKE SCHOOL CHILDREN
IS THEIR ACTIONS.
YOU SET IT UP EXACTLY RIGHT.
SIX MONTHS AGO, LOOK AT THAT
VIDEO, ITS DISTURBING TO ME
EVERY TIME I SEE ANY PORTION OF IT.
DIFFERENCE FOR-- DISRESPECT FOR
CAPITOL POLICE, WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT WE HAVE TO GET TO BOTTOM
OF THIS, FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
THOUGHTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
LED TO INSURRECTION WHERE PEOPLE
DIED, WHERE CAPITOL POLICE SAVED
THEIR VERY LIVE, MY VERY LIFE,
JOURNALIST AND STAFF LIVES, SO
MR. McCARTHYS HAS NO CREDIBILITY
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT
MR. THOMPSON WILL DO THE WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
TOO BAD ITS NOT INDEPENDENT
COMMISSION.
STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
THAT IF THE LEADERS STAND UP AND
LEAD.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME WELL MOVE
FORWARD WITH TALENTED
INVESTIGATORS AND LEGISLATORS
WHO WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS NEVER
HAPPENS AGAIN.
>> AND I CAN SORT OF SEE --
REPUBLICANS VERY GOOD AT
SHOWMANSHIP, NOT GOVERNING,
THEIR JOBS, BUT SHOWMANSHIP.
IF HE DECIDES TO HAVE SIX EMPTY
SEATS ON ONE SIDE OF THE
COMMISSION, REALITY IS THE
COMMISSION WILL STILL BE
BIPARTISAN BECAUSE LIZ CHENEY IS
THERE, A REPUBLICAN.
IF HE FILLS THE SEATS, ONLY ONE
MORE DEMOCRAT THAN REPUBLICANS,
NANCY PELOSI GAVE UP ONE
DEMOCRAT SEAT TO LIZ CHENEY.
IS THE ARGUMENT OF
BIPARTISANSHIP MOOT BECAUSE OF
THAT?
>> I THINK IT IS.
AND BECAUSE AGAIN OF THEIR
ACTIONS.
THIS IS THE MR. McCARTHY WHO
DEPUTYIZED REPRESENTATIVE KATKO
TO SET UP AND NEGOTIATE WITH
THOMPSON THE INDEPENDENT
COMMISSION, WOULD BE EQUALLY
POPULATED BY BOTH PARTIES, EQUAL
SUBPOENA POWER, EVERYTHING SET
IN PLACE.
THEN MR. McCARTHY PULLED THE RUG
OUT FROM THAT NEGOTIATION AND
REMITT.
ALSO TALK ABOUT THE TIME.
THERE IS URGENT NEED TO FUND THE
CAPITOL POLICE.
AS SENATOR LEAHY HAS WARNED, BY
AUGUST WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY
SALARIES.
WE HAD A SHORT BRIEF COMMISSION
WITH IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
AND IN THE HOUSE PASSED A
SUPPLEMENTAL TO SUPPORT THE
CAPITOL POLICE THAT SAVED OUR
LIVES AND THE SENATE HAS SAT ON
IT.
AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THIS,
SENATOR SHELBY IN LAST HOUR SAID
AS FENCING IS COMING DOWN, YES,
BETTER COME UP WITH SUPPLEMENTAL
SUPPORT FOR CAPITOL POLICE AND
NATIONAL GUARD.
DID IT HAVE TO TAKE FENCES
COMING DOWN TO SAY MAYBE WE NEED
TO FUND OUR CAPITOL POLICE WHO
SAVED OUR LIVES?
>> SOUNDS AS IF THEY ARE
DEFUNDING THE POLICE.
REFUSING -- SEE THE FENCES
COMING DOWN.
DO YOU FEEL SAFE IN THE CAPITOL
IN THIS MOMENT?
GIVEN THE FACT YOU STILL HAVE
INSURRECTIONISTS ON TRIAL IN
WHICH THE JUDGES ARE SAYING THEY
CANT BE RELEASED BECAUSE STILL
COULD BE SUBJECT TO DONALD
TRUMPS INFLUENCE, HES STILL A
DANGER OUT THERE TALKING.
WITH FENCES COMING DOWN, CAPITOL
POLICE NOT FULLY FUNDED AND
MANPOWER SHORTAGES, IS THE
CAPITAL SAVE
CAPITAL SAFE?
>> ITS LESS SAFE.
AND I TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.
THEY PROTECTED ME AS IMPEACHMENT
MANAGER WITH LOYALTY AND
SELFLESSNESS.
THE FALSE NOTION THAT DEMOCRATS
WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE,
NOTHING MORE TO LOOK TO THAN
HOUSE AND SENATE REPUBLICANS.
WE GOT THE MONEY FOR STATE AND
LOCAL POLICE IN THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN.
NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN
SUPPORTED THE POLICE OR
MUNICIPALITIES OR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
THEYRE THE DEFUNDERS OF POLICE.
WHO VOTED NOT TO OFFER -- 21
REPUBLICANS VOTED NOT TO OFFER
GOLD MEDAL RECOGNITION FOR THE
CAPITOL POLICE.
THEY ARE THE PARTY OF DEFUND THE
