Attack. This afternoon a joint chiefs of staff spokesman responded in a statement saying in part his calls with the chinese and others in october and january were in keeping with his duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.

Some have called for his ouster expected to face tough questions when he testifies before the senate armed services committee later this month. But in the meantime, the nation s top military officer is getting a vote of confidence from the commander in chief. Did you do the right thing? thank you? i have confidence in general milley.

Pelosi s office. She said that the house committee will move on in without the buyin of house leader kevin mccarthy. We will mo on, and the committee is in the process of hiring staff to that end. It is my responsibility as speaker of the house to make sure that we get to the truth on this, and we will not let their antics stand in the way of that. Now, mccarthy pulled the five appointees after pelosi rejected two of them, congressman jim jordan and congressman jim banks and both of them voted to overturn the 2020 election, and also the committee that speaker pelosi was nonqualifying, and also word on where they will take the election. And now liz cheney, the sole republican said that jordan was ineligible to serve, because he may be a material witness. For his part, mccartney accused the democrats for playing politics with the investigation. This is a sham committee by speaker pelosi. When we wanted to do a commission in janway, she said, no, it is political. And look, the democrats m

Next year, which includes new safety programs for the poor and middle class paid for by tax hikes on corporations and the wealthy in this country. The president then visited a military base in virginia s hampton roads area where he spoke to service members ahead of the mowial day holiday. He got emotional when he talked about his late son beau as this week marked the 6th anniversary of his passing. Our son did not die in iraq but came back with a severe brain tumor. Joining us off to start things off this hour monica alba, leanne caldwell over on capitol hill for us. Let me begin with you or with the vote i should be more specific. Does this mean the bipartisan january 6th commission for now at least is dead? for now, eamon. The fact it did not receive the support of 60 senators, it would need the support of ten republican senators to move forward means that it was, in fact, dead for now.

Politicians are not voting for money to fix your roads and bridges or make corporations pay taxes or help for child care or make it easier to vote, reform the police. The stuff that politics actually can do, they are using the power they have now to try to make it so you can t vote to replace them with politicians you prefer. If you re not of the party, you basically won t count anymore. Even if you do vote, so what? we don t have to recognize that. We will throw that out.
