watching, i get one or two kevin bacons away i guess has been a missionary to haiti. let s turn to the january 6 committee. i want to take a listen to what president biden said on friday. what s your message to people who defy congressional subpoenas? i hope the committee goes after them and holds them accountable. should they be prosecuted by the justice department? yes. the justice department later clarified that they would make their decisions based only on the law and on the facts. do you think it s appropriate for president biden to say that? does it make your job on the committee more difficult? i think it s appropriate. the president has every right to signal. i think he has every right to make it clear where the administration stands. god knows, the prior administration every two hours was trying to signal to the
justice department. that had to do with other pretty horrific things. i think the president has made it clear we need answers to this. i think the vast majority of americans agree. this potential criminal contempt referral, or will be criminal contempt referral for steve bannon is the first shot over the bow, but it s very real. it says to anyone else coming in front of the committee, don t think you are going to be able to walk away and we re going to forget about you. we are not. you and bennie thompson would not rule out a subpoena for president trump. do you think you can do a thorough investigation without subpoenaing president trump former president trump? do you think you can do a thorough investigation without subpoenaing president trump? i don t know. i think if i had that answer now, i would probably go in and not be able to see all the
it s 1965. for the last eight years, we have not had that provision. the jon lewis john lewis votin would have that provision to have the justice department make any approval to any changes. that would have been the trump justice department and anything like that. yes, we can get to a solution. the problem is, i admonish my side all the time about playing politics. the democrats have to quit playing politics on some of this, too. you can call it the for the people act, which was the other one, and what that is is public funding for campaigns among other host of things. if we went into this as adults with real discussions, i think we can solve stuff. instead, we wait for the twitter comments of adam voted against whatever and i can put a bill out there and see people vote against that and say they are against god and puppies. there was a rally in support of glen youngkin in virginia.
election system they did. that went on to perpetuity. it was intended to be temporary. in 2013, the u.s. supreme court said, history changes. we can t keep pretending like it s 1965. for the last eight years, we have not had that provision. the john lewis voting right would have that provision to have the justice department make any approval to any changes. by the way, that would have been the trump justice department and anything like that. yes, we can get to a solution. the problem is, i admonish my side all the time about playing politics. the democrats have to quit playing politics on some of this, too. you can call it the for the people act, which was the other one, and what that is is public funding for campaigns among other host of things. if we went into this as adults with real discussions, i think we can solve stuff. instead, we wait for the twitter comments of adam voted against whatever, and i can put a bill out there and see people vote against that and say they are agains
