don t recall. so you don t remember if there was one before the violence started? i don t. and that it was ten minutes? i don t. interesting. funny because he told the house rules committee in december he talked to the then president after the attack on the capitol not before and said he had been clear about that. rules committee chairman jim mcgovern tweeting this report directly contradicts what you said before the rules committee. what are you trying to hide? the congressman seems to have a recurring problem with his memory. specifically his memory of a phone call he might have had with the president of the united states on one of the worst days in the nation s history. when the building where he works was attacked by blood thirsty trump supporters. remember this? jim jordan, hemming and hawing. trying not to make eye contact, thrown for a loop by one very simple question, did you speak with the then president on january 6th? did you speak with president trump on january
we just want biden to do something for us for once not his donors, not the allies and his family members. just once for us. steve: here is the interesting thing. after germany, it was germany who made the first modify yesterday during our show, pulled the plug on nord stream 2. now the russians are warning germany you know what? that s what you going to do? you will be paying double within weeks, days? ainsley: it would be a wonderful opportunity for him to say i m going to open up the keystone pipeline and i m sorry, progressives. i m sorry environmentalists. steve: he will never do that in 1 million years. ainsley: experiencing gas prices. pete: break down the maps. it s hard to care when they re hemming and hawing invasion in europe and we are being invaded in our southern border. why one and not the other? steve: that s the latest of what is going on over there. pete: ohio senate debate was
reed, hemming and hawing. to disclose that the president had been administered oxygen. that s a good question. i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president during the course of his illness has had. i didn t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction. and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn t necessarily true. can you do you remember that? right? i had forgotten about that. seems like a lifetime ago, but that was just last year. all the white coats standing there. it was like a sci-fi movie. it wasn t necessarily true they were trying to hide something. how many american lives could have been saved, though? if the former president had told the public how sick he was. how dangerous covid is?
put up sr-4 which doesn t really exist yet because the house hasn t introduced it this session but if they did see how many votes you get. what are you going to do with 54? so now what are you going to do? right. now reintroduce it or try and get rid of the filibuster? that is the problem the democrats have right now is thas have right now. they re not forcing the issue every single time. and that s exactly what the republicans and doing it on tv. now they re hemming and hawing. they re warning biden not to compromise omit gaiting climate change in the bill. you have ed markey saying no climate, no vote. i ain t voting for it. you re having this in the democratic caucus. they re negotiating against themselves. i don t understand why they re bothering to do that. do you? no, no. i don t. this is one of the reasons democrats continue to fail.
and it s like who is standing that has their finger on that button that can put it one way or the other. but david is exactly right, the country is looking for more than that right now. tell me exactly what happens again if the filibuster goes away? because you know if mitch mcconnell were in chuck schumer s place, oh he would be blowing up the filibuster from here to the sunday. and they would have all kinds of well the pine talking points they would have people out on the airways across the country explaining why it is important to do it. they would have a political strategy, democrats. [laughs] this is not rocket science. and mcconnell is now playing the virtuous politician up in the balcony saying, oh, my virtue, my virtue. the filibuster, the filibuster. and just fainting and hemming and hawing. meanwhile, you ve got the grand
