if mark meadows decides not to testify, he could ultimately end up behind bars? >> this is deadly serious. i commend the chairman for the work he and the entire committee are doing and the serious nature with which they are taking this investigation. we owe it to democracy. what they are examining is not just a question of our past and what happened on january 6th. it is a question of our future and will this attempted coup happen again. i'm very pleased with the chairman, jamie raskin, of course, is just a constitutional scholar and a mentor and a friend. he's absolutely right, this is deadly serious. what we saw under the previous administration, you were a witness to it when we subpoenaed don mcgahn, for example, how long it took. >> two years. >> yes. >> two years. >> and finally an agreement that he came before us. we can't do that anymore. one of the things that i have is legislation that has also been incorporated in a much larger bill, which is the bill that is protecting american democracy because that's really what's at stake here is a subpoena complian

trump's former white house chief of staff mark meadows and other aides, they're actually cooperating with the committee and as i mentioned bannon is not. benny thompson this to say. >> we hope that the attorney general sees the importance of moving ahead with this indictment, moving ahead with locking steve bannon up. you can't conduct an insurrection on the government of the united states of america and nothing happen. >> and president biden has said anyone refuses the january 6th committee subpoena should be prosecuted. last night doj spokesman anthony coaly released a statement that read in part, the department of justice will make its own independent decisions on all prosecutions based solely on the facts and the law, period, full stop. is it possible in your eyes tht the justice department would not act on this? >> so, look, it's always possible and i do think it's important the justice department says we need to be independent. we don't want to get out of the last administration and just because we want the doj to take a certain position, for instance, we want them to go after

like mark said are only as strong as the teeth that they have and democrats have got to make it very clear that we're willing to go strong. i think that answered both prongs of your question, brian. >> yes. by the way, in a twitter fight my money's on you, don, any day. mark, let's make a transition in topic over to this development tonight. the last hurdle has been taken down, meaning in texas the most restrictive law of the land is in force in that state. do you have any read on where texas voters, male and female, both parties, are on this? >> well, brian, texas is the tip of the spear on all republican legislation that is going as far right as possible. we see it on voting rights. we see it on abortion. we see it on guns. we see it with what's happening on the border. the question is when does the pendulum swing too far? and when you talk about vigilante justice when a woman's dealing with one of the toughest decisions in her life, i think that that's way over the line for a lot of people including and especially women in texas. that is just way beyond what anybody anticipated i

clay thompson can't wait till he's back on the court yep. don't looking forward to that day. all right, 10. thanks, mark. all right, 10. thanks, mark. hey, have you ever heard of the van nuys comic-con? yeah. it's a dinky little convention where they sell collectibles and get sad d-list celebrities to appear. why? i got asked to sign autographs there. that's awesome! is this for serial ape-ist? well, it could be for the monkey movie. it could be my hemorrhoid commercial. the list does not go on. when is it? it doesn't matter. i'm not doing it. what? why not? you just said yourself, it's sad. yeah, but it's not pathetic. that's where i draw the line. come on! we'll have fun. i don't know. you'll have nerds fawning all over you. if you don't love that, this marriage is in trouble. i guess it wouldn't hurt to meet some fans and make a little extra money. yeah. wow! an appearance by george lucas... ...'s dermatologist. oh, i want that autograph. oh, yeah. ♪ our whole universe was in a hot, dense state ♪ ♪ then nearly 14 billion years ago expansion started... wait! ♪ ♪ t

stoddard, mark meadows has a real lawyer. you can't say that about everybody in donald trump's circle. george twillinger is representing meadows. bennie thompson says quote our people are still talking to kash patel, dan scavino. they are somewhat quote cooperating, he says. politico also reporting the news about george twillinger representing mark meadows. what do you think mark meadows is doing? what do you think his posture is toward the committee? >> well, it's interesting that he has retained a credible lawyer whom he is likely paying well. it makes it sound like he's not going to just do the steve bannon defiant route. he -- doesn't mean that they are engaging and that they intend to actually continue to engage. i have listened carefully to congressman thompson and kang monday kinzinger responses when they have been asked about what patel and scavino are doing with the committee. what they say is they are engaging. we don't have patience forever but we wanted to make a good faith effort. at this point, they continue, qu

congresswoman liz cheney, who leads the select committee with the chairman, bennie thompson, says the panel will move forward with criminal contempt charges against anyone who doesn't comply. and today, committee member stephanie murphy didn't rule out taking it a step further. >> in federal court, people who don't take advantage of responding to the subpoena, the marshals go out and bring them to court. are you going to use the marshals service to bring people like mark meadows to congress? >> i know that we have engaged with a wide variety of law enforcement offices including the u.s. marshals in order to issue the subpoenas. and we will use everything, as you said, with all due respect, we will use all of the agencies and all of the tools at our disposal to issue the subpoenas and then enforce them. >> with us now from capitol hill is punchbowl news co-founder jake sherman. so jake, we learned from both impeachments that when congress wants to enforce subpoenas, it's got inherent contempt, a process which congress hasn't used for a hundred or more years. it's got civil process, tha
