the new york post, it s kind of donald trump s hometown newspaper and speaks to a slightly different audience. each of those publications with a strong affinity to republican politics and trumpism. the break is notable. what s the impact for republican voters? probably very little. your typical republican primary doesn t care about the distinction between the new york post and the new york times and donald trump s m.o. is to punch the establishment in the face and when he s attacked, attack back and it s worked. what will get tested is 2024, frankly 2022 is different than 2016. at some point donald trump has to prove that his magic is strong enough to overpower this growing force of people who are saying not only is it time to move past trump, but trump did something in violation of the constitution that should disqualify him from returning to
against the ex-president as liz cheney always describes him the person who summoned the mob, riled up the mob and when it was clear his own vice president s life was in danger and capitol police officers were being maimed and injured didn t do nothing. kicked the photographers out of the dining room, watched television, called rudy giuliani, and it sounds like one of the active threads of the investigation is still pursuing the other contacts and communications he had during the insurrection. so, you know, in term of the moral and ethical responsibility, clearly that falls on president trump. what happened on january 6th was an absolute tragedy and we have to make sure it never happens again and the hearings have shown that the president s actions led to what happened on january 6th and at the most recent hearing, not only did the president fail to act, he refiezed to act when his staff was coming to come asking him to
trying to get the president to send help. he was scared was the quote from jared kushner. yet, kevin mccarthy won t testify to the president s state of mind that day. what is he hiding? the committee asked him to sit for a voluntary talk. he refused. they sent him a subpoena. he refused. we know it was stunning he went to mar-a-lago and helped rehab the president. i think his actions on january 6th going from the moment to where he was calling trump for help and then if you look at the photos that the january 6th committee revealed where they show congressional leaders huddling around the phone asking defense secretary chris miller for assistance, finding a way to
security the capitol, he s absent from those photos. where is he? as we all know after congress resumed business, he supported the objections. what was kevin mccarthy doing that day? it s not a question about trump. it s what the republican leader was doing. was he on board with this idea that you can t help secure the capitol because as general milley relayed from mark meadows people in the white house were worried vice president mike pence would get the credit? i would like to know. jeremy, do you have any insights on that? my mind keeps going to sorting the star bursts. he was afraid on that day. he has this phone call that he never had the courage to testify public to either in the second impeach of donald trump or in the january 6th private or public hearings. we know about it from his colleagues. we know what he was saying privately from your colleagues.
that is no. i do think there is a certain amount that would be secret and we wouldn t know about and once you have grand jury subpoenas and you start putting relatively senior people in the grand jury that gets out and just remember the recipients of grand jury subpoena do not have to keep that secret and we re very aware from people like jeffrey clark and john eastman, that s gone on and from others. so i think that we re not seeing any sign that senior people used to be in the white house under president trump are being interviewed and being put in the grand jury. so, claire, let s keep this forward looking and let s keep this productive and the best case scenario is that they weren t and now they are. mike s colleagues have also reported that the twice-impeached ex-president may be contemplating a second run for the presidency and may announce, does that make it
