semicooperative or cooperative fashion. i ll explain all that and where there s room for skepticism, but all this speaks to what is shaping up is one of the committee s most decisive legal victories as white house veteran and 2016 campaign chair steve bannon makes this move at an attempted partial legal surrender. he is offering a type of last-minute bid to try to cut a deal and cooperate with the january 6th committee. he is saying he wants to testify before this committee. he s sighing that now he will deal with them. he will talk, and if he did so under oath that s a new legal obligation, and he ll do so despite the defiance. a letter from trump himself attempts to explain the reversal. if nothing else, the pressure got to bannon. congress did not negotiate or weight on bannon. the committee made an assertive decision, unusual for democrat-run probes to immediately hold wanten in contempt when he defied, to immediately push for the doj to indict him, which it did. there
have no predictions about that hearing, and i m just gonna sit back and experience it. it feels like it s gonna be a big deal. the fact that they booked it for prime time is a really hard ask of all the tv networks to get them to give you that time. it implies that they think they ve got something that they really expect and want millions of americans to watch. and so, i think you can have those expectations, but in terms of what we are gonna learn, we are going to lay out, or what they might sum up from what we ve previously learned from them, i m with you. i just want to see it happen. you know, the best we have is a little suggestion from adam kinzinger, about what to expect. and i will show that tonight, just like everyone else has. that s all we got. and they ve been pretty reliable about delivering really important hearings. and so, we have every right to expect that. yeah, i mean, tonight, adam schiff just told me that we will get tape testimony from witnesses we
i do believe he is guilty. , there was this quote bannon luckily for bannon, he will hear from federal prosecutor glenn kirschner, who is in the courtroom for jury selection today jody hice, republican congressman for grand jury testimony. he is fighting the subpoena, a hearing on that is scheduled for one week from today. a federal court in atlanta, the january six committee will host its climactic hearing on primetime at 8 pm. congressman adam kinzinger, will be one of the league questioners in this hearing, gave this preview. this will open peoples eyes in a big way. the reality is, i ll give you this preview, the president didn t do very much, he but briefly watch television during this timeframe. we re gonna present a lot more of that. i can only imagine that as a
that um it doesn t doesn t seem to change. when you talk about the january 6th committee, i just wanted to ask you about steve bannon, specifically. because i know that you reported that bannon had urged trump to focus on january 6th. and you quote bannon as saying, quote, we re going to bury biden on january 6th. now, bannon we re going to bury him in the crib at the beginning of his presidency. it s one i mean, it s it s bury is a word that has a lot of power, particularly in the days before the violence of january 6th. it absolutely does. and then, i just want to be clear here. bannon has admitted that you and bob costa s reporting was correct. here he is. this illegitimate regime is starting to collapse. you know, there s a quote from me i guess in the book and they re all over about it that i was talking to the president in late january that we could kill the illegitimate biden regime in
year. now he ser the one urging political warfare. a president who has a very limited legal team and his outside advisors working his way through. even though bannon s coming back whispering to people inside of the west wing about what to do next. let me ask you about the huge news today that speaker ryan is not going to be running for reelection. obviously there had been previous reporting and they said his retirement was coming. do you have any sense of how this decision was to speaker ryan s expectations for democrats having a good midterm election and potentially taking back the house this november? when you re losing seats in southwestern pennsylvania and alabama, that pretty much tells you along with polls what to
