official action to rid itself of what it considers the extremist influences, specifically the john birch society. now, as a republican, do you support such action? >> the republican party has never conceded that it is influenced, so how can it remove something that never existed in the first instance? what the republican -- what certain republican officials have -- have consented to do is to state publicly that they do not seek the support of the john birch society, which, in a sense, is a venture -- a venture in redundancy, because i don't see that it was ever clear that they did seek the support of mr. robert welch, the support of mr. robert welch being, as we all know, a negative asset, in terms of modern politics. >> i mean, buckley has gotten a lot of credit, because he has actually called out the extremism on the right. and one of his biographers said he pointed out the john birch society was, quote, "outside the parameters of what responsible conservative opinion is." who is standing up for what responsible conservative opinion is right now? >> there's a lot of people, believe it

are we basically back to the john birch society moment here for the gop?we are, but it seems to be the flip side of that moment. as you noted in your great setup when the birchers were producing these crazy conspiracy theories about dwight eisenhower, that the civil rights movement was controlled by the communists, the big thing was this is all a giant international cabol and even ronald reagan, conservative champion, feared that the john birch society was tainting the conservative movement making them look like wackos and making it harder for republicans to win elections. buckley, who was the godfather of modern conservativism and reagan drummed the birchers out of polite company when it came to the gop and the conservative movement. 50 years later, we have a similar situation except the leaders of the gop are not doing that. you have donald trump who has endorsed a lot of conspiracy theories and it's all the same thing. it's about the deep state, liberals being the enemies of the nation, paranoia and fear, get rid of the u.n. it's exactly the same thing,

he was not someone who was uninterested in his political future, and the john birch society, which hadthink in 1958, saw general marshall, president eisenhower as, quote, conscious agents of the communist conspiracy. it opposed the flouridation of water, believing it was a communist plot. i believe there was a student essay contest on what was the best grounds on which to impeach chief justice warren from power. this was, you know, kind of a qanon-like group, and george bush's task as chairman of the party in texas -- and texas was a birch stronghold -- was to purge the party, to try to say, this is not who we are. those are extremists. and he did it. bill buckley did the same thing at national review in the same era, and i remember asking the former president whether that had been painful. and he said in that way of his, you know, the way to do george h.w. bush's voice is mr. roger 's trying to be john wayne. painful, no. it was hard and i did just fine. i think it is an important point for republicans who were republicans before the trump takeover, and i know there are arguments it w

as i wrote this week, if you look at how the republican party handled the john birch society in the 1960ere was a bigger center of critical resistance to them then than there is now. not that everybody opposed it. the same stories we talked about before in the '50s. there were more republicans who resisted the lies and conspiracy theorys of joe mccarthy then than they did to donald trump in the post election period. in all of these ways, the barrier between the republican coalition and the far right extremists is being knocked down brick by brick, decision by decision, all out of fear as mark said of alienating donald trump who provides a kind of umbrella of protection for this kind of obstruction. >> mark, marjorie taylor greene says she is fine with getting kicked off of her committees because it would have been a waste of her time. you have a lot more on greene, on the greene saga this sunday on the circus. what are we going to see? >> well, among the things we're going to see, we went down to rome, georgia. first of all, we talked to a lot of the constituents and the head of the part

standing up less to the infiltration of extremists into the party than people did in the '60s in the john birchd to extremism and this was their opportunity to really make a stand and the vast majority of them chose to send precisely the opposite signal. >> anne, i think there's still a question of whether democrats should just move on, or there was a suggestion about, you know, forpursuing a essecensure resolution. what do you think about that avenue? >> i don't think any of us are quite sure of the 14th amendment and whether or not, i mean, the reporting has been this the constitutional scholar that it could be just a majority vote. but it does feel sort of as though we would want to be careful just have a majority to be able to say to a president, you can no longer run for office. and so, it does feel to me like it made sense to have it be part of the impeachment drive, which it was included in that article of impeachment, the portion of the 14th amendment that would disqualify the president. i think it's a different question as to whether or not that is something that can be done by a major

60s and led by people like ronald reagan and william buckley against folks at that time in the john birch party in a certain direction. i think that's a debate that we need to have inside our party, and i feel confident that the result will be the same as it was back then with folks like reagan and buckley, real conservatives winning that argument, but it's an argument that obviously we're going to have to have given some of the things that have happened over the last couple of weeks. >> one of the things you heard on the house floor were republicans bringing up statements from ilhan omar, the anti-semitic statements in the past, but maxine waters where she was telling crowds to get in the face of republicans. >> right. well, i just think these false equivalencies are a way that the republican party can distract from the fact that they are promoting and feeding conspiracy theories. when we think about representative greene, she has come into congress, and joe biden, who do they have? they have representative greene and donald trump. is this the future of the party, and as i think the more
