eastern, knowing that matt gaetz, republican from florida, was planning to go to the house floor andnnounce -- lots of things, basically threaten the speaker if he didn't do his, his speakership would be in trouble. let's listen to what gaetz said years ago. >> i worked very hard to reorient the house of representatives in a positive way. i don't believe we've used those tools as effectively as we should. and when we get back to washington in the coming weeks, we've got to seize the initiative. that means forcing votes on impeachment. and if kevin mccarthy stands in our way, he may not have the job long. >> and that's the story. >> yeah. this whole speakership is a rolling hostage standoff. it started with 15 rounds in mccarthy speaker votes. and now it's coming to a head again because of these freedom caucus members like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene, they weren't pleased with the deal that mccarthy cut with biden on the debt ceiling. and now there's pressure on them because donald trump is telling them what he wants from them. he's been indicted four times, so he wants move

republican congressman, matt gaetz of florida, this week. he's part of a group of republicans working to make kevin mccarthy's tenure as speaker of the house hell. and because kevin mccarthy does not have control of his own caucus, the republican-led house is careening towards a government shutdown in one week, and only four of them are currently scheduled to be voting days. the situation is so dire that house republicans are now publicly panicking about being held hostage, by a handful of other republicans. >> if the biden government, where you have a democrats controlling the senate, democrat in the white house, there needs to be a realization that you are not going to get everything you want. and just throwing a temper tantrum, and stomping your feet, frankly, not only is it wrong, it's just pathetic. >> the call is coming from inside the house. literally. the white house is preparing for a government shutdown, because republicans don't have a plan to avoid a government shutdown. the associated press reports, quote, the biden administration's office of management and bondage it is preparing to advise federal agencies to review and update the

house is controlled by republicans. not only a handful of votes. this kind of changed in the state of floridans. it could change who controls the u.s. house of representatives. so this case is one of the most important in the country right now and it has to be followed closely because it could determine the future of control of the u.s. house of representatives. by the way, that's something governor desantis did after the fact. he boasted that republicans can thank him for their majority in the house. >> former congressman, thank you. marisa, thank you as well. >>> on the rise. covid cases are climbing across the country. what you need to know about the new virus variants and how to protect yourself and your loved ones. coming up next. you're watching msnbc reports. we'll be right back. p next you'r. we'll be right back. my frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. for one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. i'm jonathan lawson fohere to tell

house, on the republican side. former president donald trump with a 40-point lead over his republican challengers, including florida governor ron desantis. trump now attacking desan tis over florida's six-week abortion ban, calling it a terrible mistake. abc's linsey davis sitting down with governor desan tis today, asking him about the issue of abortion and about trump's criticism. >> reporter: a number of your opponents have been critical of your six-week abortion ban in florida. donald trump, who is in iowa today, has called it a terrible mistake, he says that you've gone too far. can you trust that donald trump still has the views with regard to abortion that reflect the base of the gop party? >> well, when you provide pro-life protections that says when a baby has a heartbeat, that there's protections, that is not something that pro-lifers think is terrible, they think that is a noble and just thing to do, of course, there have been many other states that have also done that. he claimed to be pro-life, he spoke at the march for life and was waxing eloquently about how everybody counts. for him to then attack p

house? >> well, let's be very clear that not just with ronda sanders in florida, we're seeing this now all across the country. the republicanthe democratic process. they know that when the plane failed as level, they're simply more of us than there are them. we've seen all the reports from the u.s. census bureau that the very near future, we are going to be a majority, a minority country. there's going to be a majority of non white people compared to white people for the first time. that terrifies the republican party. the kryptonite for the republican party is our diversity, so we're going to do everything they can to suppress voter participation in america, because if the numbers are, fair if the process is fair, they know that they have no path to hold on to political power. that is what's driving this entire republican party platform, and been antidemocratic. >> curt, finally, if there was any reason to not support rhonda sanchez, it's the fact that he has not going to win. i'm not a gop, are but i know from the gop, desantis campaign official is telling the media that a, quote, strong second place showing in iowa is a

florida governor ron desantis. that debate is set to happen on november 30th. house republican is moving forward with that impeachment inquiry of president biden. their allegations that the president personally profited from his family's foreign business dealings. also, california fast food workers are getting a pay raise, the new minimum wage for cooks and cashiers. anna barry whether another beautiful day, lots of sunshine, temperatures warming up nicely with 70s and some 80s, we will bring in some cooling changes tomorrow. and we're still talking about some shower chances as we head toward the weekend. we'll have the update co ng week from the port of san francisco. the port claims the restaurant owes more than $300,000 in unpaid rent. tarantino's restaurant on the same block also got an eviction notice for owing more than $140,000 neighboring restaurant told us that customer volume is just 30% of what it was before the pandemic. how's business? this is this is bad. big holiday. it's okay. yeah, but normal days, it's, you know. yeah this. this hasn't come back. no no way. ac

going to also watch for the california arrival of florida governor ron desantis in piedmont for a fundraiser with tech executives. >>> house republicansr the question of connectivity between the al graces against hunter biden. republicans will try to answer the question of why they think this inquiry is warranted. do they have the evidence? democrats are insist sent that after months of investigations, republicans have really come up short. being able to connect the president to his son's troubles. we'll be watching that. >>> no comment from president biden so far on that inquiry but we are following his journey from san francisco to phoenix overnight. today the president will speak at arizona state university about preserving and strengthening american democracy. that speech follows what biden told audiences yesterday in the bay area about the need to approach artificial intelligence technology with great care. listen. >> i'm going to take executive action and my administration is going to continue to work with bipartisan legislation so america leads the way towards responsible a i innovation. >> also addressed republicans directly a

on that oppose list you can add florida's governor, ron desantis, as he is campaigning for the republican nomination for the white house. at a stop in august he was asked about drug policy, particularly when it comes to marijuana. here are some of his thoughts from august. >> i would not legalize. this stuff is very potent now. if young people get it i think it is a real problem. i think it is a lot different than people were using 30, 40 years ago. and i think when kids get on that a causes a lot of problems, and of course they can throw fentanyl in any of this stuff now. the drugs are killing this country. if you look in these places, i go to san francisco a month or two ago, and i have been railing against san francisco because i read what is going on, i hear people come to florida tell me why they moved from san francisco to florida, and then when you actually see it drive in, within five minutes i see somebody defecating on the sidewalk in broad daylight, see these people using drugs and an open-air market right by the native pelosi federal courthouse. and you are just like, you know, this is -- it is like society

auditorium, i am -- very open to hear what speaker of the house has to say about the biden family, things that you know in miami, florida we are republicansntry we don't have two sets of laws so if president trump is going through the court system, i think that hunter biden should be facing the same destiny, we are in united states, we're not banana republic some politicians are treated one way others treated other way i am more than open to share what inspector of the house has to say about biden family. >> if two kind of tracks the continuing resolution government funding one side the impeachment inquiry on another. some members are going to be more prone to push for impeachment inquiry others are going to be concerned about funding i know that you can walk and chew gum at the same time. but seems that there is a shift in priorities between the two kind of when side are you on what is more important to you of those two things. >> i think that hour we need to be thinking about funding the government, in a responsible way. showing the american people that we are that we the government we need to do same thing we're asking our children and

house republicans pushing back on it. covid censorship concerns again on social media. florida republican congressman mike waltz. so clearly and blatantly unconstitutional. i think it will be knocked down. nothing more than a public relations ploy by a governor who is having some trouble in her own state. >> bill: that was chris christie a bit earlier today on our program reacting to new mexico governor grish ham's emergency gun order. several legal challenges to the order already underway. more on the story from william la jeunesse in l.a. >> using a public health order to ban guns seems odd but progressives kicked around the idea for years until friday when new mexico's governor suspended the second amendment to make streets safer. though she provided no evidence as to how. especially since neither albuquerque police, the mayor, d.a. or sheriff said they will enforce this ban. even the state police refuse to say if they have confiscated any guns or cited any residents. this in a state where anyone can legally carry a gun if public. >> effective immediately, no person other than a law enforcement officer or lic

relief, saw the wildfires in maui, the hurricane that hit florida and the south and looming over all of this is the fact that house republicansear to be moving in the direction of opening an impeachment inquiry into president biden, which is going to suck the oxygen out of much of the policy debates. the through line in all of this is that the most contentious items are being driven by a house faction called the freedom caucus, the most hard-line members who are pressuring to cut spending to levels that are not going to pass the democratic-controlled senate. they're driving this impeachment inquiry. they want a host of concessions because they're angry about the debt ceiling law and the budget deal that came with it. how mccarthy deals with that is the single biggest question over the next few weeks. >> thanks so much. appreciate it. >>> a mass exodus in full swing now in the nevada desert and endless lines of traffic are slowly moving with 70,000 burning man festival attendees finally safe to leave the campground after flooding left them stuck for days in muddy conditions. torrential rain created quick sand-like sludge that

meanwhile, house speaker kevin mccarthy will tell republicans today that the beginning of an impeachment inquiry against joe biden is a logical next step. joining me now is floridaof the house armed services and foreign affairs committees. he's also a retired green beret and national guard colonel. congressman, thank you for your service. i want to start with that as always. your reaction to all of this. so kevin mccarthy -- chad pergram confirming for fox this morning that kevin mccarthy is saying, and he's going to say to all of you today when you get back to work that an impeachment inquiry is on the table. your reaction? >> well, look, i just remind everyone that this will essentially enhance the investigation and help house republicans overcome the stonewalling from the administration. but i don't know what more my colleagues would need to see besides whistleblowers outlining bank records, outlining million dollar payments from ukrainian executives that were going to have -- i mean, truly the bank records themselves, the suspicious of activity reports, i mean, the evidence is falling out of the woodwork here. we need this inquiry to give us greater legal st

house committees. and then there is the question as to why today. well florida republican congressman matt gaetz has been threatening to force a vote on the floor on whether to remove mccarthy as speaker if mccarthy stood in the way of impeachment inquiry. remember, gaetz was a thorn in his side when he was trying to secure the speakership, through 15 rounds of balloting. this was after gaetz had voted present on mccarthy's ballot vote for speaker after this exchange gaetz swapped his present vote to yes, securing the speakership for mccarthy. our coverage of this issue starts with melanie zanona who has been on the hill capturing the white house reaction to the controversial move. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy facing threats to his speakership giving the green light to an impeachment inquiry into joe biden. >> today, i am directing our house committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into president joe biden. >> reporter: a dramatic escalation of the house gop investigations into the president. >> house republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into pr

house republicans are working with one of the narrowest majorities in u.s. history, and it would be even closer if not for aggressive republican gerrymandering in southern states. including alabama, florida and south carolina. in june, alabama was repudiated by the u.s. supreme court for drawing a congressional map that violated the voting rights act by diluting the power of black voters. the decision that could also impact the other states i mentioned. recognizing the threat to their slim majority, republicans in the alabama legislature ignored the supreme court's directive and submitted a new map that for a second time failed to create two majority black districts as demanded by the courts. today, a three-judge federal court panel rejected the new map and ordered a special master to draw up new districts for the state. the judges wrote, we have now said twice that this voting rights act case is not close. and we are deeply troubled that the state enacted a map that the state readily admits does not provide the remedy we said federal law requires. we are disturbed by the evidence that the state delayed remedial proceedings but ultimately did not even nurture the ambition to provide the

house passed that, or was going to pass that, it didn't resolve the problem. david, as a former republican congressman, let me play for you what matt gaetz from florida -- a state about the prospects of a solution to this whole mess. >> we can't blame joe biden and the democrats for why the republican-controlled house of representatives hasn't passed single subject spending bills. that's our fault. we have to deal with that. we will likely have to endorse some degree of a shutdown. >> some degree of a shutdown? that's saying you are going to spend billions of dollars, get a downgrade from one of the rating services, which is going to cost more in paying interest in the debt in the future. it's coming out of everybody's pocket. there's no such thing as a shutdown that doesn't hurt. >> in fact, one of matt gaetz's colleagues said some people have to get hurt before congress will pass a budget. what is maddening is they are talking about passing a temporary budget, not the full budget that congress is responsible for. right now, house republicans are standing in a circular firing squad. kevin mccarthy is trying to survive it. nothing they pass will pass the senate

florida, da dave aronberg. yesterday we heard garland say i am not the president's lawyer. were house republicanshe trump investigations >> no, ana, there's no bottom for these guys i mean, jim jordan, i'm sure he campaigned when he ran for congress on doing good by our country, now he just genuflects to the altar of former president trump. this guy, all he does is project because it was the bill barr department of justice who was giving favors you have merrick who kept on a trump prosecutor to investigate the president's son. can you imagine, bill barr, if he kept over an obama prosecutor to investigate trump's kids, barr would be fired and sent to guantanamo this whole thing that it is merrick garlan politicizing the doj is projection. >> yesterday, lawyers for three fake electors charged in this case argued they were acting in their official duty under federal law. these are state players. so help me understand their argument and how long do you think it will hold up? >> it is a garbage argument. if mark meadows had a chance to win over that argument over moving it to federal court, he failed
