rally goers pledge allegiance to a flag said to be flown at the capitol on january 6. youngkin called the move weird and wrong. in texas, trump's hold on the party is on full display. the state's extreme abortion ban and election laws and now putting texas teachers in a weird place. school districts like that of south lake texas debating a new law requiring that they teach opposing views includes include historic events like the holocaust. and opponents all in the name of fraud that doesn't exist. trump challenged republicans not to vote in 2022 or 2024 if the party doesn't look into lies about the election. this week, trump's escalation that they are tying to a threat of electing democrats. the message to republicans if they don't loudly pretend that he won the last election, mr. trump will make sure the gop loses the next one too. as for account ilkt, trump world not playing ball. steve bannon defying a subpoena investigating the january 6 attack. the committee will hold a contempt vote tuesday if approved it heads to the full house and the doj. what president biden said about the tug of war. >> what is your message of people that defy congressional subpoenas? >> i hope the committee goes after them and holds them accountable. >> and that they are prosecuted? >> i do. >> the doj will make its own decisions period, full stop. >> offering this hour, politico national correspondent, fbi assistant director and former water gait prosecutor, cohost of the hashtag sisters in-law podcast. do you see political or legal strategy? is. >> i see obstruction of justice. i see crime. we've long since pasted the time we can allow witnesses to ignore subpoenas. you said, use it or lose it and it is true. they cannot exercise right of oversight we need knew laws and the only way to do that is for congress to have all the information requested. in the letters so far, it lays out very good cause. whether he's doing this to be a marter or for a strategy, we know the law doesn't allow him to fail to show up for his deposition. he has to come in. if he wants to claim the fifth amendment, he can do it in the room. he can't do it by not coming because i have executive privilege because the ex precedent says i have it. >> i am pleased that they are pursuing the criminal avenue to just ignore the lawful authority of congress, the oversight authority of congress and to ignore a subpoena is just totally unacceptable. i know that this commission will use every tool within its authority to get to the bottom of what happened on january 6. we are not letting it go. cooperate now or later. >> what message is the january 6 committee sending to hold others accountable? >> they are moving quickly. almost immediately sent a signal and what is really important about this moment is that if the justice department does decide to prosecute him, it will represent a sea change in terms of the power of subpoenas. that is a big deal for january 6 but it is even bigger than that. it will signal not only january 6 but others in the future who are on the receiving end of congress's invest gative work that if they try to defy those, they face embarrassment and bad press, they could face embarrassment and time in prison. in that statement from doj came out, it is important. pumping the brakes and saying, based on what we know we need to do. based on the law and the facts, it would certainly be a surprise if the justice department chose not to prosecute him. >> so many of us want this to be in our rearview and yet it is all in front of us in a private speech, trump cast himself as the gop savior. failing to mention the party lost the white house. writing he reiterated the claims the 2020 vote was tainted by fraud new states giving more control over votes and voter fraud. you have all that and you also have in virginia people getting together for a rally for a republican candidate for governor and suggesting that they can pledge allegiance to a flag they claim was at january 6 insurrection. what picture does that paint for you? >> if you are pledging allegiance to that flag for that reason, you are not a loyalist to our country or democracy but to a move that pushes to undermine and if president trump continues to have this strangle hold and demand relationship with the states and the republican party he stands for undermining the election implying, i'm going to tell people not even to vote in the midterm elections. so he's got them by the collar. i want to go back to it because it is all related to the january 6 committee as well we either have free equal branches of the government or we do not. >> you will see trump make martyrs or heroes at those who thumb their nose. they've threatened to go to the doj and thumb this out. they don't want a future where they can be confused but i have to tell you, this is a long game now. this is not going to happen or get resolved overnight. everybody including people like kash patel are watching it out. i further ask we have contempt, they lay hands on bannon. >> i would like to see this pan out. seeing that much more quickly than we are siege now. in the watergate era. the trial tapes was issued on the 16th. argued in the supreme court on july 8 and they decided on july 24. that's only weeks. there is no reason why a criminal contempt can't be done quickly. a grand jury can be presented in one day as soon as they get it. they do have to individually weigh whether this is a right case of criminal contempt. it is hard to think of a better case where someone is saying, i'm going to ignore you. that is a defiance of a subpoena and does deserve some kind of a treatment. not just in this particular case, you have all kinds of issues and oversight because we have witnesses from homeland security that could not come in or be ordered to come in. in this case, what has to be done. action has to be taken. >> i'll ask you how the strong pov squares with the reporting you are getting out of the doj. >> they've made very clear they are going to make the decisions themselves. he's been there for years, channing phillips. one of those has been isolating the doj and bris oling the commentary clearly they were frustrated with the comment made that his case is pretty simple. an important crucial moment on a lot of levels. >> telling me it is a black box, i know it is. next, the florida school board speebing out about the threats of violence to herself and her family. jennifer jenkins here to discuss what she calls a nationwide problem. >> biden goes big on covid-19 testing and what they are doing and why it comes at the right time. a new update now on former president bill clinton. he's expected to be discharged tomorrow after a five-day stay at uci medical center recovering from a urinary tract infection. hillary and their daughter chelsea visited the hospital today. >> honoring the life of conservative mp sir david amess. he was stabbed when he met with voters at a london church. the murder considered a terrorist attack. a texas officer killed outside a houston bar. two other deputies hurt in that. the shooter still at large. we have more right after this break. ht after this break. nah, a stormy day. classical music plays. um uh, brass band, new orleans. ♪ ♪ she drives hands free... along the coast. make it palm springs. ♪ cadillac is going electric. if you want to be bold, you have to go off-script. experience the all-electric cadillac lyriq. if you want to be bold, you have to go off-script. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance?

>> right. in that case, its one of those things too. when we talk about the most vulnerable population, millions have been left homeless and are living couch to couch or in a shelter. a large bulk of those are children unfortunately. we have to get into the schools and make sure we are placing those vaccines in those areas. talking about the schools too, we know we cannot have a one-way approach. it can't be vaccines only. looking at schools, have we do done anything to change the structure of schools when we know literally the office of accountability said 40% of the school district need to update or replace ventilation system totally. did that happen?

>> yes. so in a way i've been writing this book for a very long time. when i began my career in pharmaceutical industry i was often the only woman in the room. one of the only people of color in the room, and almost always the youngest person in the room. and at the time i didn't have very many professional role models that modeled what it was like to be the first, really, of all these things, in some really powerful rooms and i remember i was on a business trip, just answering emails, and i see a woman who kind of looks like me walk on the stage, stand at a podium, and talk about the settlement she had negotiated for california homeowners as part of the mortgage settlement crisis and it was the first time i saw myself in a position of power and that was at the time attorney general kamala harris. and so from that moment she did become my mentor from afar. i studied how she speaks, how she negotiates, everything from what she wears and trying to take my own spin on it to figure how do i show up as my most authentic self in rooms that were built for people that weren't like me and to own my power and to own my voice. i have this little worn notebook of camillaisms, that's transitioned to an i cloud notebook that's helped guide me throughout my career. she is my mentor from afar. this book is the compilation of everything i learned from her starting from 2012 to today. >> it is part biographical and tactical. finding your north star to guide your decisions. what is the lesson there from harris is this. >> i think it's not just about having a defined quote that you aspire to, but from that building a screening criteria of, is this worth my time and my energy to pursue? is this in service of a much larger goal or is it a distraction? and then if i am going to do it how do i do it with every effort and make it a success? and so it is one thing to have a north star or a guiding quote or principles and values that drive you, but this book also helps you come up with a plan and the screening criteria to make sure you stay focused on what that north star is. >> ms. palepu, thank you for spending time with us. we're speaking, the life lessons of kamala harris out this tuesday. closing the pay gap for latinas, the new numbers suggesting progress, nothing but smoke and mirrors. and what else is ahead tonight on msnbc. coming up tonight, strike-tober, massive supply issues. white spread economic anxiety with congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz joining me tonight here on msnbc. oh, yeah. that's the spot. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ regina approaches the all-electric cadillac lyriq. it's a sunny day. nah, a stormy day. classical music plays. um uh, brass band, new orleans. ♪ ♪ she drives hands free... along the coast. make it palm springs. ♪ cadillac is going electric. if you want to be bold, you have to go off-script. experience the all-electric cadillac lyriq. derriere discomfort. we try to soothe it with this. you have to go off-script. cool it with this. and relieve it with this. but new preparation h soothing relief spray is the 21st century way to do all three. even touch free. preparation h. get comfortable with it. imagine having someone else do your books for you. as your quickbooks live bookkeeper, i'll categorize expenses, reconcile accounts, and close your books. cool. - yep. know where your business stands. intuit quickbooks live bookkeeping. they say durable is the new black. okay, no one says that. but, it's true. just ask sharon. after three years these barstools still look brand new. even with these crazy lovebirds.
