the house of representatives. here is what congressman gomez told chris hayes tonight. >> marjorie taylor greene, a conspiracy theorist believes in all sorts of crazy things, but the worst thing is, she's incited crowds in the past to storm the capitol, to go after nancy pelosi. they were even chanting "hang mike pence." and now she's still a member of congress. i believe she is a clear and present danger to the members of the house of representatives. just simply for the fact she also is able to bring a gun to the house office buildings and she's walked around the metal detectors going to the floor. there's a strong sense that something worse than january 6th could happen if she continues in office. >> today, nancy pelosi said there is no difference between marjorie taylor greene and kevin mccarthy and the rest of the republican leadership in congress. >> what i'm concerned about is the republican leadership in the house of representatives who is willing to overlook, ignore those statements. assigning her to the

by elected the next speaker of the house of representatives. now, there are 222 democrats congress.17th there are 211 republicans, and two vacancies. new york's s are 22nd district where the winner f that race has still not been called. it's undecided between democratic incumbent anthony -- republican claudia -- only 29 votes separate these two members of congress. now 221 democrats that little -- they are now 220 when democrats publish a lot today. democrats that will show up today. have a couple of publicans, maybe some democrats not able to be here today. 41, and the vacancies that we told you. need 216.si would explain how that number shifts. >> the majority that you need in order to be elected speaker is based on the total number of lawmakers who vote by said -- vote for someone by name. she would need 216 to be voted as speaker. if there are those who vote ,resident or choose not to vote taken away from that total number, the members that are participating. one of the things that might happen is there are some democrats that are not willi

here is a member of the house of representatives foreign affairs seeking information from china. the congressman wants more facts about a recent government report so he can draft a bill more intelligently and participate more effectively in the deliberations of the foreign affairs committee. this request for information is but one of,ands received each month. some of them can be answered with a word and some of them require weeks of research and book-length reports. regular or special congressional committees like the armed services committee start fireworks. the committee works over bills before they are debated or voted upon. it is another way in which congress seeks to get all of the facts before it acts on a bill. some committee hearings can be tense. sometimes they are used to air political views which are embarrassing to one of the parties in congress. they have the power under law to compet the attendance of witnesses and have them testify under oath. the chairman and members of the committee may question witnesses. open hearings on important questions attract large attend

senators in the house of representatives there are also numerous republicans that have indicated that they might sign on to the impeachment in the house of representatives donald trump as well so there are calls from all quarters including even republicans that are no they used to work for donald trump or used to be in the white house that are no longer in the white house so there is essentially 3 scenarios that could play out here number one is trump is impeached by the house of representatives that seems very likely at this point and that could come as early as the middle of next week the 2nd scenario is that trump is removed from office by mike pence with the 25th amendment that seems unlikely because pence is indicated privately apparently that he is not in favor of taking that step and the 3rd option is trump simply resigns and there's no indication he's going to do that however he's very unstable who right now i should say he's very unpredictable right now his actions nancy pelosi calls him unstable but he's unpredictable and anything is possible in the last 11 days in office bu

let's cross live now to the joint houses of both the us senate and us house of representatives for flavour — and we will listen to the counting process which has been going on for some time. we were listening to what is happening. are there any further objections to counting the vote in the state of nevada which appears to be regular, inform and authentic? this certificate from new hampshire the parliamentarians advised me is the only certificate of vote from the state that that was to be returned from the state and annexed to it to appoint or ascertain electors. mr president, the certificate of the electoral vote of the state of new hampshire seems to be regular, in form and authentic and joseph biden jr of the state of delaware received four votes for president and kamala harris of california received four votes for vice president. are there any objections to counting the certificate of vote of new hampshire? it appears to be regular and authentic. this certificate from newjersey, the parliamentarians advised, is the only certificate of vote from the state that purport to be returned f

the house of representatives. this enemy of the house, this enemy of the constitution is a member of the house of representatives, and she believes all of the worst things that the invaders of the capitol believe, all of the stupidest things, the racist things, the antisemitic things. marjorie taylor greene was so poisonous that even house republican leaders, kevin mccarthy and steve scalise actively opposed her candidacy in a republican primary. she publicly supported assassinated nancy pelosi, and now she is fully embraced by the republicans in the house and the senate. when a poison like that enters your political system and you say and do nothing about it, then you are more than complicit. that means you actually want that poison in your politics because you believe it will help you. congressman jason crow will join us later in this hour to discuss what it means to be going to work every day with a member of the house of representatives who has advocated for the assassination of the house speaker. it is into t

any regard the house republicans would have in the house of representatives and the congress of the united states and for the heartbreak of the families in sandy hook and marjorie stone high school it is beyond the pale you have to ask them why they thought that would be a level of something appropriate to do in the congress of the united states. >> will you being a budget resolution next week? >> we will bring a budget resolution and then send it over to the senate if that changes we will take it back by the end of the week we will be finished with the budget resolution which will be about reconciliation if needed. i hope we don't need it but if we need it we will have it. >> so with that game stop manipulation? >> it is interesting. understand the administration is looking the sec is taking a look at what that is. we will be reviewing it but it is interesting. >> you have members that are when they go back to the home district. with ongoing domestic violence vets. and what can be done to feel safe. >> i appreciate the letter from the members but the items on the list of alreadydy

it. >> i think there is a real danger of the senate to a smaller version of the house of representatives. you mentioned the organizing resolution i want to spend a minute on that i think it reflects a lot, the existence of a filibuster is what makes it possible for the minority in putting aside what is going on at the moment i'll get to that but what makes it possible for the minority to insist on fairness in the senate when it comes to its organization. if you look at senate committees, historically they always reflect exactly the ratio of the body of a whole. so the minority has the same percentage of members of the committee as they do in the full senate, that is enforced by the fact that the minority will not agree to an organizing resolution that is agreed-upon and fair and if you compare that to the house of representatives for example the rules committee is 2 - one plus one, the majority no matter what the ratio is in the house not one major committee is like that too, i always wondered about the plus one when it's like the extra candle on a birthday cake for good luck, and of cou

the senate, the house of representatives, as well as the presidency. we begin our coverage with this report from our north america editor, jon sopel. shouting. the peaceful transfer of power, the cornerstone of american democracy seemed a highly abstract concept today. as trump supporters clashed with police as they tried and succeeded to storm the congress, where america's elected leaders had gathered to certify the election victory ofjoe biden. earlier, in a rally outside the white house, donald trump encouraged his loyal base to fight to overturn the result of this bitterly contested election. we are going to walk down to the capital! cheering. and we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and were probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. because you'll never take back our country with weakness. you have to show strength and you have to be strong. many of his supporters needing little encouragement to join the fight. we are here to support, you know, if violence happens, like it happens, but we are not

the house of representatives, two, for sending of persons and papers on the part of the house of representatives any pleadings in conjunction with or subsequent to the exhibition of the articles of impeachment that the managers consider necessary. nancy pelosi, speaker of the house of representatives. with the permission of the senate, i will now read the article of impeachment. house resolution 24 in the house of representatives, united states, january 13th, 2021, resolved that donald john trump, president of the united states, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the united states senate. article of impeachment exhibited by the house of representatives of the united states of america in the name of itself and of the people of the united states of america against donald john trump, president of the united states of america, in maintenance and support of its itch peoplement against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. article one. incitement of insurrection. the constitution provides that the house of representatives shall h

twice the house of represent. this is set to move forward with a vote to impeach trump in a few hours a number of key republicans now say that they also back the move trump will face a single charge of incitement of insurrection over the storming of the capitol building by his supporters last week he denies that he encouraged the violence. president trump has been subject to massive criticism of late but he can still draw a loyal supporters. banned from major social media outlets trump seized the opportunity on tuesday to reconnect with his base he headed to texas to talk about one of his favorite topics the border war with mexico but before that he remarked about efforts to remove him from office the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and it is causing tremendous anger in division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand which is very dangerous for the usa especially at this very tender time. his comments came as debate co

this is the breakdown as we see it in the house of representatives. donald trump accused of inciting insurrection at the capitol building last week. five people killed when riders stormed and vandalized the capital. trump reportedly prepared to give himself and his family presidential pardons or what happened last week even though he still insists he did not provoke his supporters to use violence. this is the scene in the house where the vote is continuing. our correspondent joins us now. thanks for being with us. telus -- what's the latest? fill us in on what you have been watching. >> as you said, it is an historic moment because donald trump is about to become the first u.s. president to be impeached twice. the boat is taking place as we speak. right now, it seems like there are four republicans who have already voted to impeach the president. so far, seven have said -- before the vote started, seven had said publicly they would vote to impeach, including the number three republican in the house, representative liz cheney, the daughter of the forme

become a republican member of the house of representatives. he supported her opponent in the republican primary, as did congressman steve scalise, the house minority whip. quote, these comments are appalling, and leader mccarthy has no tolerance for them, said a spokesman back when she was a candidate. steve scalise issued this when she was a candidate, the comments made by ms. greene are disgusting and don't reflect our country. i will be supporting dr. cowan. and now both of them have nothing to say, nothing to say publicly about marjorie taylor greene. axios is reporting that kevin mccarthy plans to talk privately with marjorie taylor greene about her homicidal thoughts. tonight congressman alexander ocasio-cortez said this in an interview with chris hayes here on msnbc. >> when i hear that representative mccarthy is going to pull a member aside who has made white supremacist sympathizing comments, the thing that i think is, what is he going to tell them? keep it up? because there are no consequences in the republican caucus for violence. t

house of representatives, america's house of representatives to get down on the floor because of the security situation and also a reminder that the huffington post is reporting that some protesters are inside the chamber which would sit with what we are getting from the police. we are also hearing matt from the huffington post saying that shots of been fired in the chamber and again, this is coming from the huffington post and that is also just with us. so the story is developing all the time and an incredible rate. bear in mind we began the programme and underan hourago, mind we began the programme and under an hour ago, the protesters are gathering at the bottom of the steps of the capital but they were not even up the steps, let alone beyond that into the doors of the capitol building and insight into the chamber and while it may be very obvious to say some, it is worth reiterating that both of these houses of congress which were in the process of certifying the presidential election are in recess. the politicians have had to leave because the security alert being declared and th

any regard that the house republicans would have for the house of representatives and the conduct of the united states and for the hard break of the families in sandy hook and at marjory stoneman douglas high school. it's really beyond the pale. you will just have to ask them why they thought that that raised itself to the level of something appropriate to do in the congress of the united states. >> are you going to bring a budget resolution to the house next week? >> yes, we will bring a budget resolution to the floor next week and send it over to the senate. then if they change it, we will take it back at address it but by the end of the week, we will be finished with the budget resolution which will be about reconciliation if needed. i hope we don't need it but if we need it, we will have it. >> what about this game stop stock manipulation? >> it's interesting. i understand the administration is taking a look in the fcc is taking a look but we will all be reviewing it. it's interesting. you had two questions. that was not considered a follow-up. >> you have had over 30 members of

the house of representatives still debating the. to the pennsylvania and electoral count while the u.s. senate has rejected the objection and understand that u.s. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell who we saw just a few minutes ago he says he doesn't expect any more votes and says they challenging the election results so once the votes in this strain but is carried out it will then go to the as heidi was just explaining it will then go to the joint session of congress and they will do a collective vote and then it will be rejected and then the joe biden will become little will be nominated as the next president of the united states ahead of his inauguration on january the 20th and when i get a flavor of what's going on on the floor i said that's what the texas lawsuit was all about we disadvantage other states in states like pennsylvania the executive branch and just your branch sheet on the constitution and that's what they did here but there's more evidence but wait there's more the democrats secretary of the commonwealth erod
