i know a lot of the members of the january 6th committee are frustrated with that. so how aggressively are, you know, it is one thing when it is the organizers and the people that were actually on the ground in the insurrection, but when you re talking about people inside the white house and what their role is and they were officials, you haven t seen much movement yet by the justice department. i think the only person that they brought charges against on contempt of congress was steve bannon who, of course, was not at that point a white house official. really interesting moment on your new show where you were talking to bob iger, the former walt disney ceo, about the role of corporate leaders in weighing in on certain topics including this so-called don t say gay bill. let s listen to this moment. a lot of these issues are not necessarily political. it is about right and wrong. so i happen to feel and i tweeted an opinion about the don t say gay bill in florida, to me it wasn t po
