WHEN YOU SAY IT'S WIN.
I DID WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION
TO THAT.
TWO MORE REPUBLICAN SENATORS
BACKING BIDEN SCOTUS NOMINEE.
NOW I WANT TO TURN TO OTHER
TOPIC WHICH IS THE TRUMP AIDES
CLOSER TO CRIMINAL CONTEMPT
CHARGES IN THE JANUARY 6th
PROBE.
THIS THE DEVELOPING STORY.
THE HOUSE RULES KPLECOMMITTEE HA
VOTED 9-4 ADVANCING THE CONTEMPT
RESOLUTION.
YOU MAY RECALL THE COMMITTEE
HELD PROCEEDINGS AND VOTED ON
IT.
THEY HAD A UNANIMOUS
RECOMMENDATION WHERE CHAIR
THOMPSON MADE CLEAR ALL HAVE TO
COME PLY.
>> THEY HAVE A LEGAL OBLIGATION
TO COMPLY WITH THE CONGRESSIONAL
SUBPOENAS ISSUED BY THE SELECT
COMMITTEE.
INSTEAD, THEY ARE ACTING LIKE
THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE ABOVE THE
LAW.
>> THE COMMITTEE SAYS THEY ARE
NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
ONE OF THE STICKING POINTS DOES
INVOLVE SOME OF OUR COVERAGE.
PETER NAVARRO DISCUSSED TO HALT
THE CERTIFICATION OF THE LOSS
WHEN I INTERVIEWED HIM ON THE
BEAT.
THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE FOUND
THAT TO BE RELEVANT.
THEY SUBMITTED THAT TO BE PART
OF THE EVIDENCE FOR HIS CONTEMPT
HEARING LAST WEEK.
>> I HAVE SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE TO
SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT WHAT I WAS
INVOLVED IN AND WHAT I KNOW.
>> YOU SAY ALL THOSE THINGS OUT
HERE.
WHY RISK A LEGAL BATTLE OR GOING
TO JAIL FOR REFUSE TO DISCUSS
THEM WITH THE COMMITTEE UNDER
OATH?
>> BECAUSE I HAVE A LOYALTY TO
THE CONSTITUTION AND A LOYALTY
TO THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS INVOKED
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE IN THIS
MATTER.
IT'S NOT MY AUTHORITY TO REVOKE
THAT PRIVILEGE.
>> THAT'S PART OF THE EVIDENCE
THE COMMITTEE PROVIDED.
THEY ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN
RESEARCH.
THEY HAVE AN INVESTIGATIVE
PRODUCT, A TEXT MESSAGE THAT
WENT TO TRUMP'S CHIEF OF STAFF,
MARK MADEADOWS THAT SAID I'M
REACHING OUT BECAUSE I HAVE
DETAILS ON A CALL NAVARRO HELPED
TO CONVENE, INCLUDING THAT THE
PRESIDENT PARTICIPATED.
THE COMMITTEE'S CONTEMPT
RECOMMENDATION IS MOVING FORWARD
NOW AND SOURCES TELL THE NEW
YORK TIMES THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS AGAST SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND
TRUMP ARE DEFYING SUBPOENAS.
HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY
THINK THEY CAN DO SO.
NEIL IS HERE FOR THIS.
WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE HOUSE
MOVING FORWARD TODAY ON THE
CONTEMPT AND IF JOE BIDEN THINKS
THIS IS SO ILLEGAL, WILL HIS
ADMINISTRATION BE ABLE TO
ENFORCE CONSEQUENCES?
>> ARI, AS THE GREAT TAYLOR
SWIFT SAYS, I THINK WE HAVE SEEN
THIS MOVIE BEFORE.
WE HAD OVER CONTEMPT VOTES FOR
EXACTLY THIS THING.
STEVE BANNON FOUND IN CONTEMPT
AND MARK MEADOWS FOUND IN
CONTEMPT.
BANNON IS FACING A JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT PROSECUTION FOR
EXACTLY THIS THING.
INVOKING EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
IT'S SKUCHUCH A TIRED ARGUMENT.
ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE INVOKED IT
AND LOST IT TIME AND AGAIN
INCLUDING 8-1 IN THE SUPREME
COURT.
AS YOU SAY, THE NAVARRO ONE
WEAKER CLAIM THAN BANNON'S AND
THE OTHER FOLKS.
IT'S WEAKER BECAUSE OF YOUR
MASTERFUL INTERVIEW IN GETTING
NAVARRO TO ADMIT THE DETAILS
THAT HE WAS ESSENTIALLY PLOTTING
A SOFT COUP BUT BECAUSE HE WROTE
A BOOK ABOUT IT.
YOU CAN'T CLAIM SOMETHING IS
PRIVILEGED AND SECRET AND THEN
WRITE A BOOK AND BLAB ABOUT IT
WITH YOU ON NATIONAL TV.
PART OF ME WONDERS WHETHER HIS
BOOK AGENT CONVINCED HIM TO BAIT
THIS CONTEMPT PROCEEDING SO
SOMEONE WOULD BUY A COPY OF THE
BOOK.
>> THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
WE MAY NEVER KNOW IT.
I MENTIONED THAT HE AGREED TO
COME ON WITH US THE DAY AFTER
THE HOUSE VOTE AND THEN PULLED
OUT OF THE THAT INTERVIEW.
IF HE DOES RETURN TO INTERVIEWS,
WE CAN TALK TO HIM AGAIN.
THOSE ARE OPEN QUESTIONS.
THE WAY THE TRUMP JANUARY 6th
MESSAGE CHANGE FROM DUCKING AND
MINIMIZEING TO EMBRACING THE
VIOLENCE AND EMBRACING THE IDEA
THEY CAN END DEMOCRACY IN
AMERICA IS STRIKING TO BEHOLD
BECAUSE IT HAS PROFOUND
IMPLICATIONS AS WE GO FORWARD TO
FUTURE ELECTIONS.
IT GOT THE SNL TREATMENT IN WAYS
THAT WERE FUNNY BUT RELEVANT.
PEOPLE MAY RECOGNIZE THE TICK OF
FOLKS ADMITTING THE COUP PLOT ON
AIR.
THIS WAS THEIR TRUMP
IMPERSONATOR DOING IT OVER THE
WEEKEND.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> YOU KNOW, THERE WAS NO COUP
THE IT WAS AN EVENT.
PERHAPS A TAKE BACK EVENT, A
COUP PERHAPS.
I DON'T LIKE COUP.
I DON'T LIKE THE P AND THE GOO.
I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THE P
AND PUSH IT.
WE'RE PUSHING P.
IF YOU TAKE OFF THE P, YOU HAVE
COW WHICH GOES MOO.
PERHAPS THAT'S WHERE THEY GET
COU.
IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL.
>> IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL PLANNED COUP.
DWROUR THOUGHTS.
>> WE DON'T HAVE BASIC FREEDOMS.
WE HAVE ONE MAJOR POLITICAL
PARTY THAT CAPTURED BY
EXTRIEMISTS ELEMENTS.
THE BEAUTY OF THINGS LIKE WHAT I
DO IS WORD AND ARGUMENT AND
REASON.
IT HASN'T BEEN HAPPENING IN
WASHINGTON IN THE CONGRESS AND
MY OPEN IS TO RETURN TO FULL
CIRCLE TO JUSTICE JACKSON NOW
LIKELY CONFIRMATION.
SOMEONE LIKE HER CAN BRING IT
TOGETHER.
SOCIAL SECURITY REALLY TRULY
