along. and the conversations that were had all along. and that s important for people who are going to be coming in front of the committee, like donald trump jr., to know that there are going to be recordings of these phone calls. it s an amazing, breathtaking failure on the part of kevin mccarthy, simply because he has tried to ascend to the speakership for so long. and he s made mistakes along the way that have proven that he is just simply too stupid to have this job up. but i do that he put out an emphatic denial, just hours ago, to be upped like this with tapes just hours later, is truly just an epic embarrassment to the republicans and to the man who s been trying to the speaker for all these years now. so, again, that was mccarthy on january 10th. jacqui, we also have sound of
now, i haven t had a discussion with the dems, that if he did resign, what would that not happen? now, this is one personal fear i have. i do not want to get into any conversation about pence pardoning. again, the only discussion i would have with him is that i think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign. i mean, that would be my take, but i don t think he would take it. but i don t know. and the reporters who wrote the book told rachel maddow there s a lot more audio out there. the book also describes senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell s plans, regarding a trump impeachment. mcconnell reportedly met with two longtime advisers on january 11th and quote, during that lunch, mcconnell told his advisers there would be at least 17 senate republicans ready to affirm trump s impeachment, supplying the two thirds vote needed to convict. trump s role on january six,
some support from an unruly conference that has been reluctant to give him that full support when it comes to potentially being speaker, if republicans take back the majority in november. as we ve all been along on this right over the past year and a half, he has struggled with this insurrectionists caucus. these fringe far right members, to try to keep them in the big ten, on his team. and i think that that challenge just got much harder for him going forward. how mccarthy is going to explain this. how he s going to show up on monday, before reporters who are going to be on him in the hallways, asking for the bottom line about his view on january six. and his view on trumpism going forth. and to the other revelation today, neal, nbc confirming donald trump jr. going before
line about his view on january six. and his view on trumpism going forth. and to the other revelation and to the other revelation today, neal, nbc confirming donald trump jr. going before the committee. what information do you suspect they are going to try to get from donald trump jr.? and what are the chances they actually get it? so, i mean, don jr. of course, his fiancée kim guilfoyle already testified before the committee on monday. so when faced with a choice between voluntary corporation and a subpoena, don junior chose the more noble path, making his fiancée do it for us. and the whole thing is going to be like an episode of succession, where the whole family turns into cousin greg. so, i m not optimistic that we were going to actually get much truth out of this. i ll believe it when i see it.
the committee. what information do you suspect they are going to try to get from donald trump jr.? and what are the chances they actually get it? so, i mean, don jr. of course, his fiancée kim guilfoyle already testified before the committee on monday. so when faced with a choice between voluntary corporation and a subpoena, don junior chose the more noble path, making his fiancée do it for us. and the whole thing is going to be like an episode of succession, where the whole family turns into cousin greg. so, i m not optimistic that we were going to actually get much truth out of this. i ll believe it when i see it. i suspect that he will assert privilege is, like lots of other people. they ve always been thrown out by the courts, time and again. including executive privilege. i think what the committee is going to want to know is, things like, look, two days after election day, you sent a message to mark meadows that said quote, we have multiple paths to control the election.
