there's tax violations, one witness's view. but pressure on the ceo, and number three, talk that donald trump could ultimately cooperate, not in way you think, flipping to blame others, not admitting culpability. thank each of the witnesses, that's it for "the beat" and "the reid out" is up next. >> hi, learn something new every night. have a great evening. we begin "the reid out" with the qanon queen, standard bearer for the gop. shouldn't we just go with the gqp? republican party leaders and house of representatives have evidently abandoned all notions of attempting to solve a problem like marjorie taylor greene, has the trumpian troll sunk to the lowest yet.

and kevin mccarthy has essentially been riding from the uproar. claimed that house speaker nancy pelosi's mask restrictions for the house are akin to the holocaust, the actual one, in world war ii. normally wouldn't do this. her voice annoys me and everything is done but this time you need to hear what she said. >> this woman is mentally ill. we can look back at time in history people were told to wear a gold star and treated like second-class citizens, put in trains and taken to gas chambers in nazi germany. this is exactly the type of abuse that nancy pelosi is talking about. >> didn't stop there. confronted with predictable outrage of her comparing her and colleagues refusal to get vaccinated and mandated to

remain masked to prevent spreading a virus that some republicans have already spread to colleagues, compared to millions of jews wearing a star of david to be identified and murdered en masse by the millions. marge stomped booted feet out on to alternate reality with alleged -- matt gaetz and doubled down. >> i stand by all my statements, any rational jooubish statement didn't like what happened in nazi germany and rational jewish person doesn't like what is happening with overbearing mask mandates and policies. >> any rational jewish person doesn't believe they own a space laser, dear. but what we're lacking in this moment is rational republicans, who can hear the anti-semitic

dog whistle from the woman who siphoned off victimhood for her and her friends and spends free time being a prosedition racist. and sadly precious few besides the usual suspects willing to call her out. adam kinzinger tweeted it was sickness. ex-communicated liz cheney called them lunacy. they can speak up but not do anything because cheney was just stripped of leadership position. but actual leaders, puppet kevin mccarthy, could do something as the american jewish congress has to do state that the comments demean the atrocities of the

holocaust and call on greene to apologize and retract her statements or suspend her outright, what a petition is calling for. kevin wasted no time giving cheney the boot after said that golden idol has no place in the party. number two, david duke without the baggage, and his number three, what do i have to say to get power, i will say anything, stefanich. [ crickets ] >> ah, that's right, not a peep. joining me, congressman david cis leany of rhode island, impeachment manager in second impeachment and columnist michael steele, giving you new jobs. but go to the congressman first. you tweeted out strong words to what the utter foolishness -- i'm sorry i had to offend my

viewers' ears listening to marge, but what do you make of the fact that kevin mccarthy won't even talk about it or say or do anything about it? >> yeah, it's disgraceful. kevin mccarthy is leader of the republican party in the house or supposed to be, but he and and others have said nothing to condemn this horrific comparison made between the speaker following the recommendation of the physician and the slaughter of the holocaust and they seem to be fine with that. haven't criticized her, suggested she apologize or expel her from the republican caucus. it's disgraceful. she's the voice and leader of the republican in the house,

that's just a fact. >> hard to argue against that, michael, she is the leader, she and matt gaetz, the guy you have to hide your teen daughter from. only thing to get him to speak against you is speak against his boss, donald trump. kevin mccarthy has allowed all this to happen. marjorie greene's staffer to scream at congressman. normally staff don't even go up and talk to them. but eric swalwell had mask on on the floor and aide screamed at him to take the mask off. he said choice words to her. matt gaetz under investigation for sex trafficking a child, and now one person at college with -- young woman works in the

house and has to see him in the hallways and kevin has done nothing. jim jordan, knew about and ignored sexual abuse by doctor, did nothing. and guy refusing to go through the metal detecters and others named as helpers in plotting the insurrection, nothing, nothing, nothing. nd kevin mccarthy knows is two things -- one, they're going to raise a lot of money off of the stupid. and two, they're going to hold that base in place, as they get ramped up for election cycles, they're got the terra firm ground to stand on to launch what they think is a takeover of the house next year. that's what's driving a lot of this. not looking to do the correct

thing because the correct thing has no political upside to it. this is all politics, nothing to do with the congressman -- have a big debate on the floor about the infrastructure bill, talk about the john lewis voting rights act so we can all come to accommodation to get voters to the polls. none of that is going to take place, there's no money in that. you can't grift that. that requires honest discussion with political opponents who may have different approach or way of solving big questions. this is power, 2022, getting back control, and money. marjorie taylor greene runs her flap, says asinine, stupid stuff ons planet and raises thousands of dollars. okay, is that what you do? we'll do that.

>> but power for what. what i want to ask before i go back to the congressman. it's obvious they just want power but to do what? you know, steve scalise called himself david duke without the baggage, elevated to leadership. steve king, took forever to throw him out, said nothing wrong with being white nationalist. do you talk to them behind the scenes? what do they want to do with the power? seems to me they just want to fall on their knees and worship donald trump. >> that's all they can do right now. but running narrative back to 2012 at least, once you grab control of the house and start that process, what is the health care plan, infrastructure plan? it was infrastructure week almost two years, right? what are the big items you philosophically want to moor

yourself to, to go and have a conversation with the american people? tell me what that is. there is none. but what they know is having power allows them to do a couple of things. if you're mitch mcconnell, put forward judicial nominees, and if you're kevin mccarthy finally achieve boyhood dream of becoming speaker of the house. to what end? there is no policy objective, having that power is about the grift, there's more money to be made when you have that power. it's a self-fulfilling cycle. >> i think that's the point. congressman, when you're in your caucus, have you guys -- are you talking about this openly? seems to me democrats keep saying they want to work with republicans on this or that bill or idea, do y'all understand all they want is to grift more money

off people suckered into worshipping donald trump and use their power to suppress votes, stop anyone from voting them out -- do democrats understand what they're facing here? >> absolutely. that's why first bill we did was hr-1 to try to preserve our democracy, but kevin mccar lengthy is in fight to get power. truth be damned. trying to stop commission to find out circumstances around january 6th. allowing anti-semites and white supremacists to do things in the party, see the path to power through these folks. last four years they gave a gigantic tax cut to the richest people in the country and biggest corporations at expense of working people. there's no doubt what they're going to do, serve the special

interests and interests of the former president, not the people of this country. and kevin mccarthy ought to call on greene to apologize, expel her from the caucus and take a stand against the anti-semitic horrific behavior of this person. >> and he's not going to do that, he's not going to do it. rand paul saying i'm not going to get vaccinated, they can't control their own members. my question is does kevin mccarthy at some point lose steam just because of his lack of -- chicharones, he has no strength, no courage. >> lose steam? you're presuming this is steam. this is the great ruse here. kevin mccarthy hell bent on becoming speaker. have you talked to donald trump about that? >> exactly. >> may not be how that plays

out. you are just a pawn in this puppet show, baby. you will carry that water and bend the knee and anything else you need to bend to get where you think you are going to go. what once you get there, donald trump in 2022 i really think congressman so and so -- look at this. mitch mcconnell says i'm gotting to placate the desire to have a commission thinking that's what donald trump wants. donald trump just called him a beeotch last week. there's no win for these guys, that's the part so mind-numbingly stupid. there is no upside. you're doing this to what end? country suffers, party is decimated, and you look like a fool or better put, an ass. so the reality of it is, what's your end game, kevin? if you think you're going to get caucus whipped up behind you,

better talk to the folks in the freedom caucus and have a direct conversation with the trump family. all of this bending knee is not going to necessarily bend you in the right direction. >> and congressman, i guess i'll give you last word on this. as you see the republican party morph closer to open white nationalism, racism and antidemocratic activity, throwing idea of democracy out the window and open anti-semitism. that's not a political party, it's fascistic but not a political party. how to the democrats respond to that? >> it's very dangerous and we need a functioning republican party to challenge our ideas, put forth their own ideas. controlled by marjorie taylor greene and former president, not a vision for the country. going to self-destruct. in the meantime we're going to keep fighting to respond to the

pandemic and economic devastation to show the american people one political party is paying attention to needs of the american people and offering real solutions. >> democrats better fight like hell not to lose the house. if they do, watch donald trump say i want marjorie taylor greene to be the speaker, she's with me. no one respects you, kevin, not even the orange guy. >> that's right. >> thank you very much. up next on "the reid out." the phony arizona election audit resumes. test run for republicans putting wheels in motion across the country to steal the next election. plus tonight's absolute worst, sowing the seeds of racism on the farm. ronald greene pleaded for life stunned, dragged by police and later died and police covered up. only now learning about horrific death two years later because

family fought to get the video released. as we get ready to observe one year since george floyd was murdered in minneapolis, spark a national reckoning on police violence against black people. "the reid out" continues after this.

fight to save our democracy from trump's tiny little hands involves a complex set of characters, including congresswoman liz cheney, recently purged from leadership for refusing to embrace trump's big lie. but recent interview for axios, the right-wing never trumper proves she's no hero protecting american voters from the outgrowth of the big lie. >> how much culpability have republican elites have for fertilizing the soil for big lie. >> that's not at all how i think

of it. >> why? >> when you look at voter fraud, it certainly exists. i never understand the resistance to voter i.d., i think you ought to show i.d. to vote. there's a big difference between that and president of the united states who loses election after he tried to steal the election and refuses to concede and continues to say the election was stolen, suggesting our democratic process is insufficient conveying the will of the people. >> so don't count on liz cheney to hold her party accountable for using trump's big lie for making it harder for people to vote. got it. even as circus of a fake audit resumed today in arizona, a make believe ballot recount is occurring for the sole reason that trump is a sore loser and other states are following suit. another third party inspection in georgia, fulton county, a judge ruled the ballots could be

unsealed and dominos start to follow. former republican who became a democrat in trump's presidency. thanks for being here. talk about the fake audit itself. i hate calling it audit, ain't an audit. i don't know what you call it. but "washington post" reporter went in, is expert on audits, asked to be observer of whatever we call this in maricopa county, so not a journalist but national expert, wrote this. stunned to see spinning conveyer wheels whizzing hundreds of ballots past quote counters who struggled to mark on a tally sheet, only a few seconds to record what they saw. at one point overheard volunteers excitedly discussing a stain on a ballot. looked like cheeto finger, cheeto dust.

it's banana republic stuff. how worried are you this will become the norm any state that republicans have control and can reproduce this mess? >> i think that's their plan. we talked a couple of weeks ago that as ridiculous as this is in arizona, and as easy as it is to lampoon them because they're clowns, it's a serious thing and part of overall plan. what we talked about is coming true. cast doubt on any place where joe biden won in a swing state, and once they do it in arizona they'll come up with something, i don't know what, but they'll come up with some lame thing and go see what happened in arizona, better check georgia and pennsylvania, go right down the line. when you combine that with suppressing the vote every place they can, gives them hope to win

in future because they can't win on substance. >> you left the republican party and you can talk about those reasons why but have you talked to fellow republicans, people might still be in the party in arizona who see this as reason to get out and say i'm done? >> yeah, i couldn't take it anymore. you know, i didn't really want to be associated with the enablers. and i didn't get out really because of trump but because i looked around, wasn't anyone else consistently against trump or very few, just rolling over for the guy. obviously it was about power and other things rather than true policy that they supposedly believed in all these years. i think right now you have a lot of people have left the party, tons of people have left the republican party across the country and in arizona. about as many independents in arizona now as the other two parties. lot of that going on. people like myself switched

really for joe biden because we believed in joe biden and that sort of democrat and have been pleased with him. so yeah, there's a group that's hanging in there. it's not all bad news, i think it's good, good luck to them but say here in arizona, back when i was in college, john rhodes and barry goldwater told the president to resign. john mccain and thumbs down, now the whole board of supervisors standing up, 4 of the 5 republicans. treasurer and recorder. cindy mccain and a lot of arizonans still republicans saying this is no good. and one thing we got to watch to. i don't know what is going on here, but very end of the last week, board of supervisors here sent a preservation letter to the arizona senate saying don't destroy everything, everything

has to be preserved in case of a lawsuit. you only do that if you're seriously contemplating a lawsuit. is it possible that the republican board of supervisors could sue the senate here in federal court and try to put a stop to this thing? i think it is possible. we have to see what's going on here. i hope so, if they won't do it, justice department ought to step in. >> a lot of people agree on that. one of the other concerns is seeing people around the country engaged in these challenges to a long completed election. trying to overturn it or just shore up those in the republican base who believe that the election wasn't real. then turning around and running to be the secretary of state, to replace people who might have stood up to this in 2020, and replace them with themselves. talking in the break about government by the absolute worst people, we're in position can start to see corrupt people who

believe the big lie in charge of elections in this country. how worried are you about something like that? >> i am going to be optimist on that. they're definitely trying. of course they will try it. we have a really good secretary of state here in arizona, a great secretary of state in michigan, we saw the republican secretary of state in georgia who, not my favorite, kind of a trumper, but even he stood up and did the right thing. look, in arizona the person who is now running for secretary of state was at the capitol on january 6th. he was a donald trump elector and to show he had come full circle, how bogus this alleged audit is, he was in there counting votes in the first week, a guy whose name was on the ballot, who was insurrectionist, was there until the arizona republic spotted him

and he got kicked out. this is how bad it is. i'm going to have faith in the voters they're going to say no, we want free and fair elections. i hope we end the filibuster to pass the voting rights bill. we need to do it. and whether we do it or not, we're going to have to kick these guys in the ass in every state just like last time. >> presuming they even count the votes and recognize the outcome, this is the big if. grant woods, thank you. new body cam footage of fatal arrest shows the police lied. are coordinated cover-ups more common than anyone is aware? we'll be right back. ♪♪

he would be fired for his role in the greene case. left without medical assistance for nearly nine minutes and by the time got to the hospital, he was dead can. initially told the family he died crashing into a tree. doesn't happen. and strongest evidence yet of cover-up. falsely told that the black man was still a threat to flee when shackled and denied the existence of his body cam video. director of the black law enforcement alliance. i watched you on with alex witt this weekend, called this good old-fashioned louisiana lynching. seen multiple cases, decades to cases in miami and rodney king, a high-speed chase with officers amped up on adrenaline who haul

off and beat the crap out of whoever they were chasing. is that what you think happened here or something else? >> i think that's part of what happened here. and i watched that video and became so disturbed by it that -- and i felt as if discussing it in terms of the conversation that's around the nation about police reform was totally inadequate. what this was was just that, old-fashioned louisiana lynching. we need to talk about it in terms of it being a crime and criminals committing this crime, this murder that occurred on videotape. we can't afford to have the discussions and over simplify this. this is a lynching that occurred and videotape evidence supports that. criminals should be apprehended and prosecuted to fullest extent of the law. anything short is inadequate and insufficient. this is not the first time and won't be last time and it's

based on our responses to these type of incidents. >> and thing is, what you say is not really hyperbole, lynching is extrajudicial killing by people hyped up on adrenaline going to kill person. one officer now dead bragged i beat the crap out of him, he was proud of it. but more disturbing is the lying for two years, putting out fake police report, telling family he died in car crash. how common is it looking at way these play out, for police to be dishonest when they file reports when someone dies? >> it's all too common and seeing evidence coming out it seems like weekly basis. also exposes what the incestuous relationship between police and prosecutors, police agencies and

local district attorneys offices. you can't have this level of cover-up occur, two-year span of time and not recognize the collusion that exists and combination of forces involved in creating this reality that places black lives in increased danger and guarantees there will be additional loss of life. how can a black man like myself and so many others really trust and feel confident that police officers are really absolutely serving and protecting me as opposed to lynching me or attempting to, apprehend me and do these type of things? it really damages this already tenuous relationship between the black community and police. >> and when you talk about the collusion, it's not even just the prosecutor, talking about the autopsy report in this case, put the death down to cocaine induced agitated delirium

complicated by motor vehicle collision. people supposed to be filing and putting together autopsies getting involved, you have media who just accept the police statement and report out what happened without questioning it too many times. think that's changing now. but in this george floyd bill, one of the arguments is over whether there should be qualified immunity. some conservatives say don't put it in. should police have to take out insurance to have liability protection? shouldn't there be some personal liability? feels like police are very confident they can murder anyone they want and get away with it. >> in the short-term, only thing that will change or modify police behavior is when you expose them to additional, personal, individual liability. when you scrape away that curtain of protection they operate under, and believe you

me, it plays into the minds of police officers, definitely is impactful and meaningful that police officers enjoy some level of immunity. if you want to modify behavior, you have to begin to take away those artificially created protections from police. you would end up with a more professional police officer if that's what you're going for. i think most importantly, though, joy, we got to move away from this policing model, get to a public safety model and incorporate other disciplines, professions and specialists into the preservation and safety and sanctity of the communities. >> if that sounded familiar to the viewers, it's what they tried with george floyd, trying to use drugs, all of that. >> police affected by that. heard excited delirium. they're guilty of what they

accused the dead man of. inexcusable. >> isn't this also a war on drugs issue? police are involved in too many things either about health crisis or about mental health, just involved in too many things. when you say change the policing model, doesn't that mean pulling police off 80% of what they're called out to do? >> yeah. that means re-evaluating that which has been routine police response issues. we have to change that. it's common sense. all part of evolutionary process that's quite necessary. especially in the 21st century, dealing with policing which goes back to slave catching. we can't rely on police agencies themselves to realize they have to change. has to be forced, has to be compelled, and sometimes legislated. that's the importance of -- even though it's not as significant and holistic as many wish, justice in policing act will

really form the basis of further movement in policing and shifting away to public safety model. >> and good police want that, actual professionals who aren't just out there wilding. marq claxton, thank you very much. tomorrow a full day of coverage marking one year since the death of dproid, including craig melvin's special presentation. up next, today's absolute worst, don't want to miss it. ute worst, don't want to miss it.

important thing to be a true ally, racist joke, shut it down,

i don't think that's funny. racist comment, call it what it is, racist, and let the offender deal with the emotions that come with being called out. for many americans, only way you've ever heard of belarus is if you were into gymnastics in the 1990s when they were best -- what they were best known for following the collapse of the ussr. since then, former soviet satellite has slipped back into authoritarian rule like russia their neighbor to the east. flagrant attack on international air traffic, government hijacked an airliner to arrest a disdent

journalist. minsk, authorities detained a 26-year-old journalist living in exile who has emerged as one of the most prominent critics of president alexander lukashenko, referred to as europe's last dictator, authoritarian leader of belarus since 1994 and remains in power despite a disputed election last year, no surprise, a key ally of vladimir putin. president biden condemned the actions as broad affront to international norms. part of a broader pattern. authoritarian states in pursuit of enemies no longer feel they need to respect passports, borders, diplomatic restrictions or now air traffic control. price they have to pay as result no longer bothers them. ann applebaum, it's great to

talk to you. thanks for being here, a video of what seems to be forced confession that's emerged of roman protosevich. how much danger is the young man in? >> maybe very serious. regime was known as mild dictatorship, wasn't much protest, wasn't much violence. last year explosion of violence and protests, people tortured in prison there. ten days ago another young disadent died. it's issued threats to people who live abroad, accused them of terrorism and extremism even though they're out of the country and he's right to be

terrified. he was flying home from greece to where he lives in lithuania. the plane was brought down specifically to arrest him, no other reason, and he has every reason to think his life may be in danger. >> you've seen the russian model reaching beyond borders for people seen as dangerous to the regime, jailing opposition parties, declaring them terrorist groups. what does it mean that belarus is going that direction? >> you're right it's a pattern, russia, china, iran, with the worlds autocracies working together and joining action, reaching across borders to assassinate or arrest people who live abroad. send message nobody is safe,

even living in democracy with a different passport or flying on a commercial airliner. moment is coming democracies need to work together to find ways to block them. lost four years in the trump administration, not an issue that interested trump. he was interested in being friends with autocrats, liked being seen with them and talking to them, wasn't interested in working with democracies. this is a policy we have to return to if we want our citizens to be safe. >> to say nothing of saudi arabia, killed a journalist and nothing done. one of the reasons i want to do this story is we have a political party in our country trends in direction of autocracy. wanting to be like lukashenko or let trump bet like him. is it hyperbolic for me to worry that the republican party is

becoming -- in terms of what it wants to see in terms of eternal rule for is it and catastrocracy? >> we're not where they are, but getting things done, cutting corners, belief that some people deserve to rule and some don't, despite what voters do. dictator of belarus held election last summer and cheated, won by not counting all the votes. those are worrying tendencies. and democracies work by consensus and respect for the rule of law and because people respect each other and other political parties and think they also have a right to rule. seeing those tendencies appear to any degree in any democracy, especially ours, you're right,

it's worrying, particularly at this moment in history. >> especially since it seems eastern europeanization of the republican party, it's odd. reading president biden's statement about what happened in belarus, eu seems to be moving to do something, i guess sanctions. trying to look up quickly where belarus exports to. can sanctions do anything? >> the country is in very bad economic state, partly because of the events last summer and resultant withdrawal of business. eu is cutting off all flights to belarus. their airline can't fly to europe and their airlines won't fly there. will cut off the country and be noticed. whether that's enough over time, whether there's sanctions on oil and gas or other exports, we'll see. there's a flood of people coming out of the country as political

refugees, and business refugees as well. people are desperately trying to leave. may see a refugee problem sooner or later as well. >> to say nothing of the fact may not be safe leaving. really frightening. one piece of good news, at least have president who won't cuddle up to lukashenko and idolize him. that's "the reid out," "all in" starts now. tonight on "all in." >> we're going to vote on the january 6th commission in the senate and the american people will see where every member stands, on the side of truth or on the side of donald trump's big lie. >> the senate vote moves forward, the big lie endures. >> you don't see any linkage between donald trump saying the election is stolen and republicans in all the state legislatures rushing to put in place restrictive voter laws?
