testimony, free of screaming nonsense. thank you, kevin. with me now kurt bardella and for those who don t remember someone who used to work for the guy who used to do the screaming hearings against the democrats, one of them, darryl issa back in the day. so you know how this is supposed to work. you and i have texted about this and we ll say what we said privately, how big of an error was to keep screaming people off the committee for kevin? kevin mccarthy s loss, joy, was america s gain in a lot of ways, and in a backwards kind of way, kevin mccarthy did this country a favor. he did. by withholding his republican appointed members from this committee, but it was a massive strategic blunder and as you alluded to, perhaps the biggest blunder of his time as republican leader to allow this committee to operate and function in an uninterrupted fashion, to allow them to operate in a way that they can
propaganda. madam chair, if you want to know why they re frustrated and it s not about holding sexual harassment accountable, and it is about us conducting show trials, and unless you re jack del rio. you get fined. this is so bad. thankfully, with the january 6th investigation, we have been spared their performative that the theatrics. leader mccarthy directed the ranking republican on the house homeland security committee to come up with a deal and coming up with the agreement, he got democrats that joint subpoenas would have to be agreed upon and the commission would not have current politicians serving on the body. that sounds like a pretty good deal for the republicans, right? alas, it would not come to pass because mckarthy and senate
for the first time they were probably hearing and seeing the full, unvarnished information about the insurrection and what trump s part in it was, but let me show you what people have missed. for those of you who don t really know about jim jordan. here s jim jordan and he s yelling and screaming about something today and this is from him from newsmax. they tell us this is the most solemn, serious, important investigation in the history of our republic, and then the same people are inviting colbert s comedy crew into the capitol complex, letting him enter the facilities illegally. oh, yes. courage the cowardly dog. that s what he wants to talk about. your thoughts? about courage, if you like. this is what republican oversight looks like, by the way. let s focus what a late-night sketch comedy show was doing and not domestic terrorists who assaulted police and wanted to hang the sitting vice president
republican party and members of congress. we remember in the very first hearing it turned a lot of heads when there was an illusion where there were members ever congress asking for pardons. i think that we ll get a lot more information on that and even though the committee would go on a two-week break to continue the investigation, a lot of us would have to talk about the hearings and the republicans would be very uncomfortable when i see manu raju and ali vitali. i think he s the one that said i can see your phone. giving them credit. kurt bardella. still ahead. senate negotiators finally reach a deal on gun safety legislation as we learn disturbing new details about the police response in uvalde. we ll be right back. n uvalde we ll be right back.
tell the story from start to finish without any of the republican propaganda, b.s., nonsense we ve grown all too accustomed to seeing in proceedings like this, and in many ways, joy, this is perhaps the northwest non-partisan congressional investigations in modern liftry when you consider the participation of liz cheney and adam kinzinger and when you consider that most of the witnesses are actually republicans and some who to this day would intend to vote for donald trump in 2024, and they have provided the testimony. this is the least partisan congressional proceeding we ll probably ever see. 100%. in my lifetime, i ve never seen where everything was a food fight and everything about hillary clinton was a dogfight. in this case, especially the first hearing and it was in prime time so people who would be watching the masked singer or whatever, they watched and a lot of people did.
