happens again. that was what they kind of kept hammering but for some reason they don t think that steve bannon though he telegraphed he did know something the day before january 6th should be called. you know, i think that it probably can t be easy to be congressman adam kinzinger or liz cheney today but i just want to play what adam kinzinger said about his republican colleagues. as a republican, don t let my side use the security posture as the straw man argument in this. the reality is that is the equivalent of blaming the victim of a crime for the crime. and while it is important, that s not what we re here to talk about today. madame speaker, voting on a criminal contempt resolution is not the position we hoped to be in but steve bannon went out of his way to earn this resolution before us and now we must approve it. your thoughts, margaret?
0 have. the question they ask is why were we so unprotected on january 6 and what has changed since then? getting to the bottom of those questions should be the top priority for all of us in this house. there are serious security vulnerabilities that have been not addressed by this house in 11 months after january 6, and this is what the majority has decided to spend its time on. holding a private citizen who wasn t even part of the administration at the time in contempt for refusing to comply with house democrat subpoenas? this is after more than 600 people have been arrested for their role in the tragedies we saw on january 6. when i get the article i would like to submit for the record, madam speaker, a reuters record talking to the fbi that there was no effort to overthrow the government on january 6. i will submit it once i get a copy of that. i did not bring it with me. but our job, again, is to secure this capitol. we ve never seen a breach like the one we saw that day. and it s
and daniel goldman i want to start with you, daniel, goldman, because you can take what liz cheney said about the toxin. you can lay it over the result at least or the conduct of republicans during the first impeachment trial, lay it over the result of the conduct of republicans during donald trump s second impeachment trial and i wonder when you watch this runaway train that frankenstein that mccarthy and mitch mcconnell helped assembly now a clear and present danger to the integrity of our country s elections. what we saw during the first impeachment, it was a completely circular straw man argument. what i mean by that is that the republicans decided early on that they were going to claim that our investigation was partisan it wasn t. the witnesses that we had were all trump administration
history of this country, 245 years. ainsley: probably the worst presidential decision have you seen in your lifetime, brian, right? brian: no question. he only had three minutes to ask questions of him. and any of these diplomats, any of these ambassadors they could just go on forever. and the whole thing is. the theme was if donald trump had a deadline but he had no plan it s all trump s fault. we did great just ebbs tending the deadline. pete: trying to defend the indefensible the entire time and did so the same way joe biden has. building up a straw man argument that everyone agrees with people wanting to get out of afghanistan but not wanting to talk about the actual execution. he even said this. he said it s always about you have to choose between ending the war or escalation it? that s not the choice anyone is talking about. and he also said this if he had not followed through on trump s plan, he said or on the lack thereof, he accused him. attacks would have resumed and the tali
getting out of afghanistan and when in reality a lot of people are having trouble getting to the airport. now those people who have made it to the airport are being told not to go. there is this huge disconnect between what president biden is saying and what we know. he keeps talking about why he made the decision to leave afghanistan. that s a straw man argument. everyone agrees with that decision. the debate is over the manner in which it s done and all sorts of questions along with this. what is being done with the americans? how are they being located? how are they being helped out of the country? why are so few of the people who are evacuating the country actually american? how are people being vetted? there are all these important questions and president biden isn t taking questions. and it s at a time when people really need answers. jesse: joe, now they are blaming americans for getting stranded. they say i didn t register at the embassy. or, you know what? maybe they don t w
