white houses have done over the time which is stay out of the department of justice s business when it comes to these type of prosecutions, et cetera. so i appreciate what kamala and joe biden are doing by just allowing this committee and allowing the department of justice to do their work. stuart, the washington post also has some new reporting about how trump loyalists in congress are trying to purge republicans that they feel are not loyal to trump sufficiently. one of the candidates supporting is a gentleman joe kent. he s challenging republican congresswoman jamie herary butler of washington state because herrera butler voted to impeach president trump over january 6th. he said a lot of it will be shaming republicans. i need to be going after the people in the republican party who want to go back to go along to get along. it s put up or shut up, unquote. we should note kent is out there pushing the lie that there was widespread fraud in the 2020
like this caricature of a villain and that s why this meeting was so important for me because i wanted to be able to look at you in the eye and know that you re really a human with a heartbeat. alyssa milano, thank you for being on primetime as always. thank you for the opportunity, as always. what an interesting day you had. tell us everything, tell us everything. well, i was here for the last two days in d.c. on the hill advocating with peter morley, who is a patient advocate, and today i had a meeting with senator cruz on gun violence in america. did you think it was going to happen? when you started the twitter back and forth with him and the opportunity of a meeting came up almost as a suggestion of like to put up or shut up, did you think it would ever really happen? i didn t and i didn t think it would happen this quickly because usually when this stuff happens, you say, yes, i can meet you and then it becomes a back and forth between

okay we have no choice now. and the president, you know, is of two minds of this. he is saying today and publicly and he believes that impeachment is something he says the courts wouldn t allow it. it is a terrible crime against me. it is a re-do of the mueller report. it is a political witch-hunt. all of these things. on some level the president when he thinks about the politics of this is thinking to the democrats put up or shut up and wants to amp up the pressure on nancy pelosi because he feels confident about the senate making sure he is not ultimately removed from office. cynthia, before we go, this one is weighing on many people. when we hear this idea where is president is basically daring, saying, you know, go ahead, impeach me and all of these people are being subpoenaed robert mueller just yesterday. it s clear he doesn t want to go and testify. how come all of these regular people are allowed to say no thanks to a subpoena? i was taught you get subpoenaed oh, you bett
chris? of course, you can impeach for my reason. it s the congress. that s what they re there for. impeachment is not a magic thing. it s not this mystical you don t have to have all of the rings in the gauntlet is of the avengers. thanos. yeah. thank you. it s whatever a majority of the house says it is. why don t they do it? they don t put up or shut up. they don t want to. why not? it was always the argument that we had to have the mueller report before this conversation happened. it s a new thing like don mcgahn didn t just show up yesterday. defying subpoenas has gotten to the level that many democrats that were against the idea they re so to the point that we need to shrink executive privilege. the way to do that is to open impeachment hearings. it s not about what the president said or tweeted or put
