The one on three, 66 days towards luka prevented, Health Experimenting regard they still cant, or wont it means risking his. Job keeping. Immodest also tonight, democratic senator bob menendez and whether anyone actually for all that alleged prime mommy found in his home, and tomorrows fellow democrats in the senate want him. Gone, later the young poet whose words inauguration, and her warning now about silencing writers, and banning books. Good, evening thanks for joining, us we begin tonight keeping them honest with Kevin Mccarthy who buy title is the most powerful republican in washington, Secular Mine AfterVice President harris to the presidency. It is certainly a lofty role, and a lofty title, and today when asked about what it takes, including working with democrats to pass legislation, to prevent russia Government Shutdown, not six days away, Speaker Mccarthy had a lofty. Answer mile focus within my mind, what drives, may is the American People. Will focus, according to the census bureau, there are upwards of 335 Million People in the country, and with speaker, mccarthy we were doing the Peoples Business with only just a fraction of that number, mind it would be an achievement. Tonight the evidence suggests hes mostly concerned with just five or so people. The five are so House Republicans who have so far blocked any legislation to keep in the upper government operating after the end of the month. Something President Biden underscore today. Just a few months ago, the speaker of the house agreed to Spending LevelsHouse Republicans and everyone in america could be faced with federal employees, including those who have to stay on the job with no money coming. In air traffic controllers, federal prison borders, border agents, a shutdown means no paychecks for americans in uniform. It could mean troubles for investors, its also, this historically the Political Party scene is responsible for shutting down the government has paid a price on election day. Speaker mccarthy can avoid that by getting those fibers are hardcore members of his own party on board. This is been hard enough, but just got tougher with the Social Media Post by the former president , and yet he says republicans will not be blamed for it, and urges the shut it down in case they quote get everything, now that post it reduces any because its from the de facto leader joining us now, South Carolina democratic congressman james conquered. He said a Government Shutdown is not a foregone conclusion, are you still relatively remained again. Yes i, am i am just an optimistic aghast. I think that will prevail in the final analysis. If we have i dont think we will recover from its anytime soon. We are talking about shutting down the government on the heels of a comes up from the worst crisis in this country in over 100 years. We know what that did to the economy. Kids are getting back in school, now settling back into a normal routine, businesses are back up and running. A lot of unhappy workers, because everybody is trying to get back on even, kill that to where we were. Before the pandemic. For us to shut down the government down now. Thats just functioning, but flourishing again. He said cooler heads will prevail, but who are the cooler . Heads speaker Kevin Mccarthy will attempt to work with democrats on a short term stopgap that will certainly engage his speakership. , yes it maintained your his speakership, but ill tell you. This i do believe he has 100 solid republicans in his conference who will stay with him. This is no matter what. I do believe that he can find the other votes, beyond 156 that he needs, on the democratic side if he were to settle down, with, jeffries, and negotiate a way forward. I do believe thats possible. Do you think he would lose his speakership . Well i, said or so, people the speakership, youll take out of our conference, 150 or 60 certainly, they would be a thats when he sets, down with Hakeem Jeffries and see what he needs to get the other votes he needs. On the democratic then Something Like this, it would be the way to go. What do you make of the Social Media Post, how much the influence he has on this process . I dont understand for the life of, me ive been around this earth for a long long time, ive been in politics, but 12 or 15 of those years, instead of just anything like this. I dont know anybody who would want this man , and nikki haley, or tim scott . Yes, he was in some of the South Carolinas today. My dad when i was growing up. He was on that community, and the god fearing people, they are, good people who live, they were raised by, i dont quite understand why they feel it is necessary for them to to a guy like this. He is not going to get elected president of United States. Even if he were to get that nomination. I dont think the nomination for him is a foregone conclusion. Congressman clyburn, i appreciate your time tonight. Thank. You menendez until recently, member of the finance and banking committees, he is tonight under federal indictment accused of taking bribes. Today, shortly before a Second Dietetic called for his resignation, he offered an explanation for all of the couch found in his, home in exchange for his efforts to aid new and the government of. Egypt today he was saying he thinks hes going to be completely exonerated when all the facts an explanation for why the stuffed and the pockets are the jacket with his name. On and heres what he. Said 4 30, years i have withdrawn with thousands of dollars in cash from my personal Savings Account. I have kept for a merchants, and because of the history of my family Facing Confiscation in cuba. This may seem oldfashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal Savings Account based on the income that i have lawfully derived offer those 30 years. Now he also said that he was not aiding egypt, he pointed to his record on the hill as a lawmaker saying that he is taking a stance against egypt, these are some of the defenses that hes starting, but he does not answer every question. In terms of illegal case against, him how strong is . It it, strong hes really different from , Cassidy Hutchinsons testimony before the house committee, millions of viewers around the country, inside the white house affair chief of bus mark meadows watched trumps actions leading up to january 6th. Now she is out with a new book complete with more revelations about that, a fresh allegations about some of the players. Hutchinson gave her First Television interview about it over the, weekend more from our randi kaye. I ended up moving down to atlanta for several months. They did not think it was safe for you to stay in d. C. . No. After months and hiding, former white house aide Cassidy Hutchinson is talking again. She has plenty more to say since appearing before the january 6th committee. As you told cbs sunday morning, she nearly pulled out of testifying before the Committee Last year. I heard the door click, open i turned around, i looked at my, tony says that i cant do this. I started to, walk he gently pushed my shoulders. You can do this. Then he walked out. Hutchinson details, that and much more in the new memoir enough. She describes how her first attorney was paid by a trump pack, and advised her the less she remembered, the better. In the final transcripts, it was written with i dont, know and i dont recall. Which, was information that theyre very clearly recalled. Hutchinson got herself a new attorney, and gain confidence about moving forward, she, says after studying the testimony of Alexander Butterfield from the watergate hearings. Butterfield was the former aide to richard nixon, who exposed the oval Office Recording system that helped topple nixons presidency. He really was the source of strength for me. He gave me the perspective that not only i could do this, but that there was life on the other side of it. Hutchinson is also defending some of her most explosive testimony. She shared with the january Six Committee an incident she, said that a White House DeputyChief Of Staff anthony are not relate to her, describing how Donald Trump On January 6th insisted on being taken to the capitol to join his supporters. When secret Service Agent bobby engle refused, hutchinson described how trump allegedly grabbed for the Steering Wheel of the president ial limousine, and lunged towards the secret Service Agent. When he recounted the story to, me he had motioned towards his clavicle. They said they do not recall the conversation. I stand by what i testified to, in that incident, and in any other incident that had been disputed. Hutchinson also stands by a disturbing new allegation from her book regarding Donald Trumps personal lawyer rudy giuliani. Hutchinson describes how giuliani allegedly groped her backstage during a rally, that preceded the attack on the capitol. His hand slipped under my blazer, then my skirt, she writes of giuliani. Giulianis team calls the accusation a disgusting lie. Absolutely false, totally absurd still, hutchinson stands by her, story and sodas her publisher simon and schuster. Through it all, hutchinson says she is still a republican, but do not expected to vote for trump. He is dangerous for the country. He is willing and has shown time and time again, willingness to proliferate lies, and to vulnerable American People so he can stay in power. To me that is the most unamerican thing that you can do. Randi kaye, cnn. Two of Cassidy Hutchinsons former white house colleague cnn Political Commoner contributor john dean who has his own historic moments testifying before congress during the watergate scandal. The New York Times is reporting fascinating detail from hutchinsons book that she writes about Mark Meadows Burning so many documents in the waning days of the administration that meadows wife complained to hutchinson about how expensive it had become too dry clean the, quote, bonfire smell from the suits. Yes, so the Chief Of Staff office i was a lovely, fireplace my understanding is that in those final days, by the way, publicly mark meadows and others were saying there is not going to be a, Transition Donald Trump won, election they seem to be getting ready knowing a transition was coming and he was burning paperwork. Now i am not an attorney, but i was someone who was subject to the Federal Records Act which required to any president ial documents even if not classified, even if not sensitive, required to archive. So at minimum, that is a basic violation of that. Who knows the actual context of them. And the president directly, one they were new he didnt. It is like out of a mob movie. If true, new feather coming, and they are trying to destroy evidence. That is exactly what it sounds like. You have to wonder, was this going on throughout the white house . What documents may we never have . There is more that i know from talking to cassidy di dont want to get ahead of in the book, but it paints a picture of a warehouse in the final days following january six trying to cover any checks that they can, and trying to anyone doing their was, trying to prepare themselves to announce that onslaught. You testified before the january Six Committee as well, hutchinson describes fearing for her safety, and not being able to return to her apartment in washington d. C. For months. Did you feel you have had that experience of testifying did you have those kind of concerns . I think two to the Bombshell Nature of her testimony, she faced a heightened level of Security Threats. They obviously were amazed that this was going to be something that im faced by coming forward, and publicly testifying, but it was something i knew i wanted to do because that i owed it to the American People for them to hear the truth. Were you scared . To i think that was. It is definitely a scary position to be put in, to know that you are going to face an onslaught of harassment just from random trolls online, but also the former, president our former boss. He attacked, me and cassidy, for coming forward, for testifying, so that is a really scary position to be put in and then know that you might have Security Threats. I had Capitol Police offer to put a good outside my office where i was working at, in the weeks and following the testimony, and they were patrolling outside my apartment. I did not face the same kind of Security Threat that gets the did, where she needed to relocate. I think that should be something that people think about when they attack, her and say that she is a, liar or noon this for, fame or whatever. I dont know why anyone would put themselves through that if they were not telling the truth. As we mentioned, hutchinson said she was inspired by former butterfields testimony during the watergate hearings. I find that very interesting. Obviously he played a crucial role in the existence of the oval office to bring, system do you see parallels between the two . I was inspired by my testimony and thought i had been recorded. Of course, he was correct, and that would change the whole dynamic of the investigation. So i think that is a good inspiration. I was delighted to see they in the weekend clip they had met each, other and alerts indeed regularly admired her getting up and testifying. Melissa, it is extraordinary when you think about sarah and cassidy coming forward, and all of these other people not all of these other people who have careers behind, them are already wellknown, or had you know, sarah, cassidy, these are people at the start of their careers. In their 20s at the time, by the way. I think that is one of the most remarkable part of the story. How many people in positions of power who had much bigger, salaries much bigger titles, and futures, ahead did not stand up until where everyones on january 6th. I think what most people knew in that west wing, it was younger staffers who came forward and put it on the line. Cassidy has openly talked about the fact that she had to relocate. She did not have money. She lost jobs because of her doing the right thing and speaking out against the former president. But listen, that is what we, need people who are going to put what is right in the country ahead of their own inhibition. Thank you. Yet have you here. John dean as well. Programming note, Cassidy Hutchinson will sit down with jake tapper tomorrow for his show the league. Yours at four pm eastern. Just ahead, a surge at the border shelters, might be soon overwhelmed by migrants, and new video of the size of crowds trying to make their way north. David culver joins us on the mexico Southern Border life on the migrant show to the u. S. Next. The venezuelans gathered in the, dark migrant, camp still thousands of miles from the u. S.

David culver is near mexicos Southern Border with guatemala for us tonight. So what can you tell us about the video and the sheer number of people who have been saying make this journey.
