Congressman adam kinzinger, for example. Joining me now congresswoman stacey plaskett from the u. S. Virgin islands and congressman joaquin castro of texas. They also both served as house impeachment managers during the second impeachment trial of donald trump. So i am positive they have a lot to say. I m going to start with you congresswoman stacey plaskett because i think one thing that a lot of people are frustrated by is why does it have to be bipartisan? why do we care how many republicans are on this committee. There is no convincing these people of logic. So doesn t it make sense to just proceed with what they have? they have a quorum, and get the people s business done. What s your take? well, first, good morning to you and good morning to my colleague joaquin. It s so good to be with you both this morning. I think that we as you recall, we tried to create this into a bipartisan independent commission from the beginning, and i think what the speaker has chosen to do by naming a
It is a good day. We made progress today. Embrace that. Thank you for watching. It s good to share it with you. The big show, don lemon tonight, big star, d lemon, right now. How are we going to celebrate juneteenth? when there is progress, we should celebrate. Oh, we ll figure it out, this weekend. But i am just going to celebrate by honoring the people who came before me. I try to celebrate it, every day, by honoring the people who came before me. Who fought for me to be able to sit in this seat, every night. To be able to speak, with authority. To be able to give my point of view, not opinion, there s a difference.

Through which i am speaking, as a black man in america, who happens to be gay. And i have the incredible opportunity to have this platform to to speak directly, not only to the american people but, to the world. To more than 200 countries around the world. So that s how i try to honor evhonor, every single day, the enslaved people who were my ancestors. So there you go. Part of the learning curve there. Enslaved, not slaves. Enslaved, you re right. And our friends, on the left, have to, on a day like today, not chase after enslaved, versus slaves. Don t play pc with terms. Recognize who the allies are, who we re in favor of today, who sees it as the right kind of history, and who doesn t? is that an issue? enslaved versus slave? yes. Fight the big fights. You want to win the big fights, fight the big fights. I don t really see you know, when people say i like to say survivor, instead of victim. I get that, but that s me.

Nbc s ken dilanian reports, it was acknowledged in february, a february investigative report, that angry trump supporters were talking openly in the days before the siege about bringing guns to the capitol to start a revolution. The fbi document doesn t say where the fbi s review of social media posts were conducted before or after january 6th. But if the fbi didn t know about the social media post, what exactly were they doing? if they did know, why didn t they take any action to warn anyone? the fbi has charged 40 individuals with using deadly or dangerous weapons or causing serious bodily injury to officers. The fbi has arrested around 465 people so far in question, the insurrection and we re continuing to learn more and more from their court hearings. This morning, hunter palm pled not guilty to charges including violent entry and disorderly conduct on capitol grounds. The fbi provided screen shots from
