kevin mccarthy, also mark meadows, ivanka trump, senator tommy tuberville. should they be expected to receive subpoenas from this special committee? well, i don t want to get into the tactics and the details because, you know, we re in the fact-finding process of where do we need to go, where does this lead? one thing we don t want this to do is to become just kind of another political spectacle. we want actual answers. we want to know what led to this, who was responsible, all these questions. that is the process we undertake now. fortunately or unfortunately, a lot of it won t be publicized or televised because this is where that kind of hard nitty-gritty of investigation happens. but i will tell you, wolf, if i have anything to do with it, and if what i see today comes to fruition which i think it will, i think anybody with a role in all of this should expect, you know, some at least
it. representative clyde, i think is his name, lived it. let s just confront the truth. what s the old saying, the truth will set you free. the sooner you confront the truth, the sooner you can move on. one of the police officers, hodges, he repeatedly referred to those individuals not as tourists who came up to capitol hill, but terrorists. i heard him say it 17, 18, 19 times, referring to these individuals who attacked the police, tried to storm into the u.s. capitol as terrorists. do you agree? i don t think he s wrong in his assessment, how he talks about it. i don t want to use that term because i don t want to be further inflammatory. i want to get to the answers, hold owes accountable, hold those who launched this accountable. i don t think he was wrong in his assessment. no, he was very, very blunt. all four of them .
i m sure they were getting rundowns on it. the bottom line, even if you disagree with the committee, even if you don t want to see what s happening, you had four officers that put their life on the line to defend this country that represent, by the way they weren t just there as themselves, they were representing thousands that did hand-to-hand combat. you at least owe them your attention. and if you didn t receive a copy of it, i d be happy to send them a copy so they can sit in their office and do that. should the senate be subpoenaed to testify before the committee? we need to do work to see where the facts are. i don t think we would rule anything off the table, but the key is how do we get to the facts and how do we lead to politics. obviously politics is involved because it s the nature of being out here, but as apolitical and as nonpartisan as we can be, and i think we did a good job yesterday of that, we can get to
dr. offitt. go ahead. doctor, you look at it, and hindsight is always 20/20, but back on the 13th, they changed the mask mandate for individuals saying they no longer need to wear them indoors. now it feels like a step backwards. what do you think about that may 13 decision to lift mask recommendations at that time for the vaccinated? i think what was behind that decision was basically a gift. if you ve been vaccinated, you can now take off that mask. it trusted the fact, and i think it was too much trust, therefore, when you walked into a grocery store, everybody who was wearing a mask wasn t vaccinated, whoever isn t was vaccinated. that was a little short-sighted. i think the delta variant being as contagious as it is and an
to the right witnesses. what i think we re going to do now is we re going to scope out the investigation, we re going to essentially draw up what the chronology is in terms of what information we go after first. we will look at scheduling another hearing, perhaps as early as next month, and as liz cheney said, we re going to follow the evidence wherever it leads. we re not going to be at all hesitant to issue subpoenas or to compel production with those subpoenas, whether that is for documents or testimony. we have to learn exactly what happened, how it happened, why it happened to make sure it never, ever happens again. i know you have to go vote. we heard the bells go on. congressman schiff, we ll continue this conversation down the road. thanks for joining us. thank you. coming up, republican congressman adam kinzinger. he s getting ready. there he is. he s going to join us for the first one-on-one interview since the january 6 committee first launched its investigation. we ha
