but not boebert. again, i ask, why?, the 16 committee has done great work uncovering vital and shocking information, egging on the department of justice to take action faster. but its work has been far from perfect. i don't understand the lack of a subpoena for lauren boebert, for example. or the lack of a subpoena for testimony on -- from ginni thomas, life -- wife of clarence. it took a year and a half to subpoena donald j trump himself. on friday, the committee on formally issued a subpoena to the former president to produce documents by november the 4th and to appear to testify by november the 14th. although there is no way that actually happened before the committee wraps up its work at the end of the year. which brings me to this. and the clock is ticking. and that pages on the proverbial calendar are flying by. we are a little more than two weeks out from midterm elections that are likely to return republicans to lead one if not both chambers of congress. we are only weeks away from a new congress, where instead

lauren boebert is not representing that part of the party.rmer voters of hers to come over and jocelyn. i'm trying to make it toes let them know i'll be focused on the district, on water, and the question i'm asking everyone going to the chamber of commerces. i was an independent voter for 20 years, and 43% of the voters are independent or unaffiliated, as we call them in colorado. they just want someone who's going to take the job seriously. the question i ask everyone is, who do you want sitting down in the halls of congress at these meeting rooms representing you and your family and your community and your business? and there's something to be said about competency. >> finally, adam, what's your message to skeptics, those saying it's a trump district. they point to political forecasts like this from 538 that's giving boebert a 98% chance to win regardless of the recent polling that has you narrowing that distance between you and lauren boebert? >> i love 538, this is the emotional one for the country. when i looked at the race in november

i want to give you three of lauren boebert's greatest hits.got the boebert refusing to go through the magnetometers in the capitol and clashing with capitol blees because she wanted to take her gun through the magnetometers. you have representative boebert on january 6th tweeting, today is 1776, endorsing insurrection. and then this ad which is one of the most shocking ads i have been following politics a long time that i have ever seen. here it is. >> it's time to cut the crap and remember, this is the people's house. madam speaker, tear down this wall. >> complete with a gunshot. you live in the district. is that what people in your district like? is that the feedback you're getting on the ground, that people are enthusiastic about that kind of representation? >> thanks for having me. without a doubt, the reason we have gone from minus 9 to minus 7 to basically even is because people are sick and tired of what we call the anger tainment industry, that representative boebert and her mentor marjorie taylor greene are all for. they're not focus

that being third street to have lauren boebert those within the larger mirror.xpect voters to be ultimately >> -- harmful words and actions. need to find out how the bears are going to do today, as well. i think with regards to lauren boebert in the fact that 7% of voters might be undecided with regard to the incumbent has to be the worst time for her. that being said, i think that mr. fresh and others are going to probably be campaigning on pocketbook issues that we are always talking about. they should also be talking about democracy and how do we deserve it benefit. how do we buttress what i'm hearing every days to return to normalcy, noggin rhetoric that boebert also constantly engages in talking to relitigating 2020, time out any recess was ordinary political discourse. that is stuff that voters are -- i find, very upset about. >> absolutely. congressman and christina -- and i have factories on these are going about your business into illinois, thank you so much. >> thank you alex. >> it appears i heavyweight republicans are doubling down in support of hers

what do you think the chances are that lauren boebert loses? >> listen, i think it's a long shot.my home state of colorado, i was out there, i met with adam frasch, who is running a great campaign, he is an independent democrat, he is focusing on bringing republicans in. the republican district. this is not like marjorie joe greene's district, that is so far where there is no hope for a democrat. it is an r plus seven or 8% district, you have to win over about 10% of the republicans. adam forest could win that race. i think he can. i am hopeful that my other colorado republican colleagues and former republicans will speak out to try to help out and frisk in the last month. lauren boebert is a reactionary, she is an insurrectionist, she was tweeting on 16 about the location of nancy pelosi, we don't know why she did that, people have their suspicions though. i think that adam frasch has a means spirit independent democrat, it's a long shot, but it's a winnable long shot, unlike maybe some of these other races. >> three and a half weeks ago, we shall see, alencia johnson and similar

last week, boebert was reading a bible passage at a conference when this happened: >> "and then, alll, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. they made life hell on earth with their envy wonton killing." i don't know what a "wonton killing" is. i'm going to have to look that one up. >> stephen: i don't know what that is, either, but if anyone ever witnesses a wonton killing, you know who you have to call: >> nancy pelosi's gazpacho police. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> stephen: it's tru. it cools it down. gazpacho police cool down the situation of the wonton killer. the primaries of 2022 are finally over, and with control of the senate up for grabs, republican voters played it safe and nominated the kookiest, zaniest conspiracy wackos this side of nutso banana junction. for instance, new hampshire republican and man demanding you salute his belt, don bolduc. bolduc is so maga crazy, even new hampshire's republican governor described him as a "conspiracy-theorist extremist." bolduc is polling behind his moderate democratic opponent, which could be why bolduc went on tv today, and

adam freesh, a democrat running to unseat lauren boebert is statistically tied. unaffiliated voters seem to be repulsed by boebert's rhett dick. tim ryan and j.d. vance are facing off in their first debate. vance telling women they should remain in violent marriages and enlisting marjorie taylor greene on the campaign trail. while he was busy doing that, tim ryan was left to campaign across the stated and talk about actual issues that matter to people in ohio. independent polls suggest the race is a toss up. >>> joining me is democratic strategist stephanie brown james and sir michael singleton, host of screen share on peacock. thank you so much, both of you, for joining me this evening. shermichael, i'm not going to ask you the traditional question, hey, shermichael, you're an african american republican, tell me why so many people in your party are so racist, because we already know the answer to that. what i'm going to ask you is this: in our current political environment, is that effective, is the kind of racism you hear from tuberville and marjorie taylor gr

there's also an anti-pelosi ad by lauren boebert that ended with a menacing sound effect. >> madam speaker, tear down this wall. [ gunshots ] >> and even as recently as last week, days before the attack, republican congressman todd emer posted a far too literal interpretation of the fire pelosi campaign. so no, it's not random. it's not about blue state crime. nor is it an isolated act. it is the event that along with january 6th solidifies and cements a new era of political violence, an era normalized, justified and created by rhetoric so violent and so hateful that brutality is the natural end point. after all, isn't that the point of fascism? to create a dictatorship of violence and fear. i'm joined by clint watts, former consulant with the fbi counterterrorism division and distinguished research fellow at the foreign policy research institute, along with charlie sykes, editor at large of the bulwark. i want to play you one more sound bite of brooke jenkins and here she is talking about the political violence we're facing now. >> we know that there have been tragedies in this very city

congresswoman lauren boebert, mayorkas should be a priority.hough, republican, says we should focus on policy and tom cole, a veteran republican, says i don't think it would be a very wise decision. however, at the moment tom cole, who might have this experience, does not have as much juice, shall we say, with the leadership as a jim jordan. >> all the talk we have about democrats having had momentum over the last several weeks and perhaps cutting their losses in the house, it won't matter at the end of the day when kevin mccarthy is a speaker, republicans have the chairmanships and their subpoena powers, and if they have a majority and the house could pursue impeachment proceedings. but i think the tom cole perspective is interesting because i think that there are some republicans, i don't know how many, but there are still some republicans that are concerned about overreach. republicans felt that democrats overreached in pursuing the first impeachment of donald trump in particular. so i think there are many people in washington who are very c

i want to stress it's used by people like lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, both brought this upw, the biggest podcast in the country, the most downloaded podcast in the country this week said he heard it from a wife of a friend. but he didn't. what these people hear this from is from facebook. you know, people on facebook say they all hear from a nice neese -- niece or a wife of a friend. they are inventing this whole cloth. we've seen examples from prince edward island in canada to california to ohio to florida. this is a rumor that will not die on social media, specifically because of facebook and tiktok. >> and ben, one of the real challenges here that it reveals is the echo chamber. if you get all your information in the same sort of echo chambers, then you have no reason to dispute this stuff. but as you know, this is being used, it's being seized on as a political effort to criticize and mock and in this case marginalized communities. >> i want to stress here, too, that there is a case, we called every school district mentioned here, all people who said this was happening,

candidate tells me she has gotten help campaigning and fundraising from caucus members like lauren boebertand marjorie taylor green and is committed to joining the caucus if elected and as you know a bigger caucus means they can whip their own votes, further weight around and shape the topics that the party is interested in, the agenda moving forward. the house freedom caucus. neil: if you are kevin mccarthy does that worry you? >> he would tell you he's focused on winning the election. a couple different times on air, on a different channel, has been asked to point blank do you think you will win speakership or be speaker and he has been coy about it, focused on winning seats and making sure the gop is able to take majority in the house first and we will talk about that later. no one has come out to oppose or try to set themselves up as a potential opponent in case he runs for speakership. neil: i want to go to the real clear markets editor for economic director. if you don't mind i want to pick up on what aishah was saying, not everyone is winning from the same choir but some in the free

again, who uses imagery in her campaigning with a little rifle to our heads, whether it is lauren boebert who says that we are terrorists and we are there to blow our selves up, or whether it is countless numbers of republicans, starting from the former president who constantly incite hate and violence, i will tell you, i can trace the uptick of the level of death threats that i get from there rallies or any sort of fox news or any right-wing media hits that mention my name and says that i am an american -- there is a direct link to that uptick. this past summer, my office saw a huge uptick in the level of death threats that we are getting. they have to be held accountable. they have to hold themselves accountable. and the american people need to recognize that what is happening to members of congress, whether it is republicans who are recently retired, or have been voted out in the primaries, weather it is what just happened to paul pelosi and the fear that speaker pelosi and her family will live with for the really long time, and that they have experienced, what myself and others have e

the christian nationalist rhetoric increasingly being used by some elected officials like lauren boebertosed to direct the government. the government is not supposed to direct the church. >> steve osunsami it stands contrary to 400 years of baptist history and everything i believe about religious liberty and opposed to the idea of christian dominion churchley dominion over the operations of government. >> why do you object to that? >> okay, i object to it because jesus said his kingdom is not of this world. i object to it because historically every time it's been adopted it wound up persecuting people like me. doesn't stop it from prosecuting people not christians, it eventually winds up persecuting people who are christians for whom the flavor of their christianity is different from that of the government. >> support for the separation of church and state was a foundational principle for obam bap baptists who faced persecution in the 1600s. baptists split over slavery which is when the convention was founded. the sbc supported slavery and later segregation. on abortion their opposition

we want to empty the mental institution and put people like lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greeneoffice? this is steve on facebook, saying of course they matter, it is the only time voters get to see the candidates speak as opposed to when they are hiding behind the propaganda and lies known as advertising. those are some of the social media comments. simply asking, do debates matter? david in georgia, what do you think? caller: thank you for c-span and "washington journal." i say they do matter. i gotten to numbness in 2016, when all the republicans were up there. i've been laughing, clearly a no trump are, then i saw the energy of this guy and how he clearly demolished everybody. he was passionate. i was sitting with a friend of mine, completely liberal -- and i am a more of a conservative libertarian. and walker -- if you have played more of the film, the answer by the government being inside a doctor's office with the lady and her doctor, walker reminded him there is another person inside that doctor's office, and that is the child. it really stunned the moderators. it got che

nationalist doug mastriano who has been subpoenaed by the house january 6th committee and lauren boebert who's accused the left of grooming children, never mind the fact that her own husband did jail time for public indecency after exposing his willy wonker to a teenager. and marjorie taylor greene, does she get to keep all three names, whose principles include anti-semitic principles, and islamic attacks, in addition to her current divorce after multiple allegations of affairs. family values, and of course there is also their false idol, the former president whose campaign many assumed would be done and dusted after video of him proclaiming he could just grab women by the you know what, was released. only for him to get 80% of the white evangelical vote in 2016, what's clear is the christian branding values are a branding exercise. republicans care about opposing gay and transpeople living their lives openly, and they clearly care about people presenting hetero normative marriages. when it comes to abortion, well, you probably heard about the latest news about donald trump's hand picked

this is the party of matt gates, lauren boebert and of course marjorie taylor greene.ere's the other thing you have to keep in mind. with the presidential election coming up and joe biden in the white house, it will be in the short term interest of the republican house to make conditions in the country as bad as possible. it's just simple. the worse things are, for the country while joe biden is president, the better republicans have a shot at retaking the house the white house in 2024. so a republican house, yes they will pass massive tax cuts for the rich. they will pass the massive national abortion ban for the first time. but with joe biden holding veto power in the white house, republicans will not be able to enact their entire agenda. so what does the house of representatives actually look like with republican leader kevin mccarthy in charge and joe biden in the white house? well, first, there will be a dangerous showdown over the debt ceiling, with republicans, once again, essentially strapping a suicide vest on to hold the entire economy hostage in exchange for

you have lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene, out there with no policy substance. that's a clear choice in this election. >> mayor nutter, donald trump has projected that they're not going to trust the vote in philadelphia. they have been doing that before. do you have any concerns over poll watchers on election day and over efforts by election deniers to try to distort or challenge the vote? >> andrea, they have been singing that sad tune for a couple years now. the election apparatus in philadelphia and across pennsylvania is completely intact. folks know how to conduct an election. it's now been shown through the january 6th committee that donald trump and his followers, deniers, whatever, had concocted a plan to undermine the 2020 election before people had even started voting. so we're used to that song. as we say in pennsylvania, that dog won't hunt. >> mayor nutter, great to see you. thank you very much. >> always. >> congressman boyle, you as well. and dasha burns in harrisburg. we will be back here tomorrow to talk about all of this. >>> after two weeks of

in this at all in which you understand by the way, but if you're marjorie taylor greene or lauren boebertst, week these are people who brought this up in the last month or so and they have a seat didn't respond to this i want to mention by the way that this is not 70 saying. if you looked up the word litter on facebook or tiktok, it would auto complete to letterboxes and schools. joe rogan's podcast this week was the number one podcast and latin america. he talked with tulsi gabbard four minutes about the sing, his friends wife was a teacher told him that letter boxes were in her school. obviously, we've not heard from anybody correcting this record, but it does not serve the purpose to correct the record. it's fundamentally, a lot of stuff the midterms in gender identity is based on urban legends, myths on social media that are too good to look up. if you would even think about if i have a, second you would know that it is not true. >> you know, ben i after say goodbye to, you yes something that i have to say in your piece. invite everybody to go to msnbc news.com to read it. take, talk

lauren boebert: the church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to directo much for this myth of separation of church and state. dan cox: when you look at our platform it's the only platform , that recognizes the creator, that recognizes we have rights that supersede government. gov. desantis: we need people all over the country to be willing to put on the full armor of god to stand firm against the left's schemes. you will be met with flaming arrows, but the shld of faith will stop them. laura: kristin kobes du mez is a professor at calvin university who studies the role of christian nationalism in history and in today's republican party. she joins me now. thank you for joining us. the comments we just heard, how do they espouse christian nationalist ideals? kristin: really these ideas that america is a special nation, it is god's nation, and thus true patriots, real americans, uphold christian values. not just any christian values, a particularly conservative political understanding of what it is to be a christian and what it is to be a christian nation.

havetonight on the mehdi hasan , a clear and present danger, congresswoman lauren boebert more than

january 6th to spread out across the country, the straight line of marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert, others in the maga republican party, who glorify violence and their leader, kevin mccarthy, who says nothing about it. and does nothing to stop it. if that's the environment he's going to create, it's a green light to every assailant out there to use violence rather than voting to carry out your political will. >> let me play, you mentioned the staff. this was an interview i did with speaker pelosi, that was the first time i met paul pelosi. a very nice man. this is back in january of 2021. >> i don't know if you have been able to see the video in which you can hear people screaming your name. >> yeah. >> where is nancy? looking for you. hunting you. >> yeah. >> i don't even know how i would react to that. how do you react to that? how personal it was toward you. >> well, i was actually more thinking about my staff and my colleagues who don't have the protection that i have. >> i'm going to go back to you for a second, congressman swalwell. the staff members, these are young, young p

i'm in lauren boebert's district. to in both campaigns expects the numbers to tighten, but tighten enough to make this a truly competitive race in its final days, that remains to be seen. there's another debate here on friday night. >> let me ask you a quick follow-up question while i've got you there, garrett, because you cover the senate day in and day out. i covered the senate and house for years. you do it full time now and we have two sitting senators who have had stroke and is are still sitting senators without questions being raised. having watched the debate last night and hearing the fallout over this, how forgiving are voters about these health issues? >> reporter: we're going to find out. neither of the two senators who you're talking about were in cycle. luhan had the ability to take his time. he came back on kind of a structured media rollout. he have had sit-down interviews on tape. he didn't do live interviews for awhile and he's not going to have to face the voters again for quite some time. how voters

occasionally you'd a madison cawthorn or a lauren boebert or a marjorie taylor greene in the place. i mean, they were like, really? people who were hanging around. so it was sort of a of the times. and then late in 2021, the trump organization sold the property to a miami investment group for a $100 million profit, which is another very familiar washington story which is failing upward. right. it's this basically scorned and abandoned property sells for a huge profit for the owner i mean, granted it's great location, beautiful building. so you can see why it be desirable for someone. but at the same time the the profiteer here is someone left office in utter disgrace impeached twice lost the house, the senate, the white house, the only first president in 100 years to do that. first president in 150 years ever. not to be to his successor's inauguration. you know, if you want to pander republicans, you can say you know he lost to joe biden. not easy to do. and, you know, i probably a lot of people like joe biden here, but, you know, it's like he there's every reason for republicans to

we want to empty the mental institution and put people like lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greenen office? this is steve on facebook, saying of course they matter, it is the only time voters get to see the candidates speak as opposed to when they are hiding behind the propaganda and lies known as advertising. those are some of the social media comments. simply asking, do debates matter? david in georgia, what do you think? caller: thank you for c-span and "washington journal." i say they do matter. i gotten to numbness in 2016, when all the republicans were up there. i've been laughing, clearly a no trump are, then i saw the energy of this guy and how he clearly demolished everybody. he was passionate. i was sitting with a friend of mine, completely liberal -- and i am a more of a conservative libertarian. and walker -- if you have played more of the film, the answer by the government being inside a doctor's office with the lady and her doctor, walker reminded him there is another person inside that doctor's office, and that is the child. it really stunned the moderators. it got c

lauren boebert said she should be impeached for failing to invoke the 25th amendment to remove bidench biden on grounds the american public see to be trivial, this could go to biden's benefit. that's what happened with bill clinton, even though he had in fact, lied under oath about monica lewinsky, when congress, when the house impeached him, the american people didn't like it, and his popularity increased and democrats did better in the next election cycle. >> in case you thought barton was exaggerating what ted cruz said, i just pulled it up in january of this year in his podcast, asked about impeachment, he said i do think there's a chance of that, whether it's justified or not, quote, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and as you weigh the reasons republicans say they may want to impeach joe biden, president trump was impeached twice, one for leading an attempted coup against the united states government to overturn an election, and another time for trying to get political dirt on his opponents, holding up aid to ukraine. the piece online for "the atlantic," thank

and like marjorie greene and lauren boebert, they are going to impeach biden but they don't know whatyou have a question about polling, jeremiah? caller: what? host: do you have a question about polling? caller: yeah. the holding, it is an interesting year for that. you just never know what is going to happen. guest: that speaks to ever likely voter issue we just spoke to a moment ago. who is going to turn out? a lot rests on that equation. it is impossible to know what that electorate will look like until it shows up in votes. it is a short-lived phenomenon. a little longer now that we have early voting. but still, it is really difficult to know who is going to show up. you can get a sense through the likely voter screens pollsters used but it is not a precise science. not a precise science. the caller mentioned the midterms. it is true. there are headwinds for the democrats this midterm. this election, this second year in a term election for a president, happens to be difficult for the president's party traditionally. and i think with kitchen table issues on top of that, people are
