likely to beat their candidates joe biden. brian: did you get your phone back? did you get your phone back? i guess we might have lost them. congressman scott perry, thanks. watch play this back you ll see i did thank you, i wasn t rude. democrats are doing everything they can to take out donald trump as their own party crumbles, just today the president was deposed by the new york state attorney general s office, these tactics are not working. trump endorsed candidates continue to win their primaries ahead of their midterms. joe kent is one of the examples he just defeated an establishment encumbered in the state of washington and joins us now. congratulations, what is it you like to win? feels great, hasn t really sunk in. and i m still in campaign mode but i feel grateful for all the support i gotten all the hard work my campaign team put in. brian: what did the trump
indictment by the d.o.j., that is big. made it clear what we may be seeing right now is trump going at it alone. we are close to what teddy roosevelt did in 1912 with the bull moose party. he said, you know what, i m going to break off from the republican party and form my own. we tend to overstate what people are going to vote for. i think that these hearings have laid a foundation in people s minds that donald trump obviously was, i was in the capitol on january 6th, he was obviously responsible in a major way. and the people who have, kevin mccarthy and the republican leadership who have decided not to be a part of this investigation, i think that is probably the biggest act of political malpractice i have ever seen. and i think all of that will lay a foundation. maybe it is not this election. maybe it is an election in the future.
maintaining their anonymity. but the takeaway is the fact that if the trump administration were to come back again, these people they fear retaliation. right. the justice department, are you seeing any signs? you have been among those frustrated about what appears to be a lack of criminal investigation. do you see any signs? i sure as hell hope they have a criminal investigation at this point into donald trump. i have no direct knowledge of the status of their investigations. but i could tell the department of justice is watching our cases closely. they have charged and found guilty from january 6th and they have actually quoted testimony from the january 6th witnesses in the hearings. so merrick garland has already told us he s listening. if he s watching today, i would tell him he doesn t need to wait on us because i think he has plenty to move forward. the georgia investigation, which is happening simultaneously, has there been any overlap there at all, or is that something th
different sectors of government and science and the media. part of me wants to say, and this is based on conversations i ve had on the hill the last couple of weeks is don t overthink it. minority, sorry, in a long time. republicans have the largest majority in the house of representatives that they have had minority, sorry, that they have had in a long time. it doesn t take a lot for them to have a historically large republican majority. will that happen? i have no idea. but it doesn t if they win the mean, the average of what they would win in the first midterm election of the president s cycle, they re already in one of the largest majorities in a long time. and add on negative gdp numbers, add on a stagnant economy, and i think we will have a really good night for republicans on capitol hill. the issue with the senate races, though, is something that seems to be i mean, it is the story of 2010 for the republicans. it was the story of why it took
i don t know i don t want to say the election is over. the january 6th committee on how president trump did not quell violence at the capitol. president trump did not fail to act in the 187 minutes in telling the mob to go home. he chose not to act. even as secret service agents scramble to get vice president pence out of danger. if we re moving, we need to move now. and testimony that mr. trump took care to stay on the side of the mob. the president did not want to include any sort of mention of peace in that tweet. i ll talk to committee member luria about where the investigation goes next. also the economy. we re taking our own steps that we believe will be supportive in the short-term to get inflation down. i ll interview janet yellen on inflation, economic pessimism and whether we should expect a recession. joining me are yamiche alcindor, moderator of washington week.
