le pen and liz cheney both have very political i cheney both have very political fathers.or oz who he is. we use that to elevate his career. then donald trump appeared in 2016 when he unveiled his medical records. claiming he would be the healthiest president. oz is trailing david mccormick. but donald trump's endorsement could help. this isn't the first trump endorsement in pennsylvania. he endorsed sean parnell, who dropped out due to allegations of spousal abuse. so donald trump stayed out of that race. i guess we shouldn't be too surprised, but there's a risk that donald trump is making by taking these stands. he's putting his power on the line trying to re support these candidates, and he is having a mixed record so far, so this will be a test to see if he could pull doctor oz up and over the top, which they will vote in may, so it's not that far off. they will vote in may, so it's not that far off-— that far off. mike, how are you seeing some — that far off. mike, how are you seeing some of— that far off. mike, how are you seeing some of those - that far off. mike, h

a lot of people are trying to source those tapes to liz cheney.one of that? >> liz cheney won't leak tapes and deny it. that's not who she is. one thing this chapter revealed and something the historian robert carroll said, power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals. it doesn't reveal the best but says who we are. it revealed liz cheney to be a person of great courage and conviction. it revealed kevin mccarthy to be utterly craving and in fact, so many of the other members of his team like elise stefanik who when liz cheney said i'm not telling a big lie that eats at the heart of our democracy, e elise stefanik said i'll tell the lie if i can have her job. i think those attacks suggesting liz cheney was the source of this for an effort to tear her down when kevin mccarthy is being torn down by his own falsehoods. >> let me play one more thing. this is the person beyond donald trump kevin mccarthy works. marjorie taylor greene. here is another thing she did not recall this is calling speaker pelosi a traitor. take a listen. >> in fact, you think t

cheney. the distinguished ranking member of the house administration committee was appointed to this committee or the appointment was accepted by speaker pelosi. but it was withdrawn by the minority leader. it was not rejected by the majority. it was rejected by the minority. madam speaker, you know, we're here in the broader sense to defend american democratic institutions and the rule of law. and our colleagues said before that if this investigation were valid, then we would be talking to officials from the sergeant at arms' office and the national guard. i've got good news for my friends. first, every court that has looked at their claim that this is an invalid investigation, either because of its compsition or because it was intrinsically flawed in its pursuit of the facts about january 6, has rejected those arguments. every court. rejected the precise arguments our colleagues are floating on the floor today. but i'll go even further than that. we have in fact interviewed precisely the pe

quote, while i was rallying in wyoming against liz cheney, kevin mccarthy was defending liz cheney amongs," gop leader, you should have trusted my instincts, not your own. as we said already, cheney has denied taping or leaking the audio to "the new york times." it's where we start the hour with our most favorite reporters and friends. luke broadwater is here, also joining us, democratic congresswoman madeline dean of pennsylvania. chuck rosenberg is back. luke broadwater, i start with you. this is from two of your colleagues. they sort of put out the ultimate tease in television. there are more tapes. tell me what you know about kevin mccarthy's private comments and their sort of widening gulf between his public posture. >> yeah, i mean, these audio tapes revealed by jonathan martin and alex burns have sent a bombshell through capitol hill today, and certainly on the republican side of the aisle. kevin mccarthy has spent the better part of the day calling people, trying to shore up support. the bigger challenge, as my colleague andy carny wrote, for him, is not that he was caught tellin

take liz cheney, for example -- >> you want to spend more time on this as well? >> i actually do. i generally want to understand this, i want to understand how you think about this. because liz cheney, who has the same view as you of january 6th, she said she doesn't want donald trump near the white house and she will work not to let that happen because she thinks there are some things more important than party loyalty. >> well, maybe you ought to be talking to liz cheney. >> no, but i'm not trying -- really, it is not a gotcha. i am trying to understand is there any threshold for you of what some of the people of normal level -- >> i say many things i'm sure people don't understand. >> senator mcconnell had no answer for the question, and good for you for staying with it. this is not unique to mitch mcconnell. people have written books in the last few months how bad donald trump has been for the party, how they can help to change the course. i'm thinking of bill barr that wrote a book about what actually happened, the lies around january 6th and then when asked would he support h

liz cheney's willing to do that.and mccarthy, aren't able to do it and they're just interested in themselves and their own power, then it's not america first. it's themselves first and america could be last in the realm of democracies. >> in service of donald trump. it is amazing. congressman eric swalwell, thank you so much for starting us off this hour. joining our conversation is jake sherman, founder of punchbowl news. also joining us, kimberly atkins stohr, senior columnist at the "boston globe" and the co-host of the #sistersinlaw podcast and charlie sykes is here, they are all msnbc contributors. so, jake, i wanted to ask you, you know, and you have been so blunt about the dynamics up on the hill and we call on you on the day that the republicans are against a medal of freedom for the law enforcement officials who protect every last one of them. we called on you in the days after january 6th, and we've called on you to understand what these days are like when it appears like the normal friction, which sort of

instead of protecting liz cheney, who stood up with integrity, kevin mccarthy is supporting liz cheney's opponent in the republican primary. when you listen to kevin mccarthy, he was absolutely right about almost everything he said privately to his members, what has changed -- to suggest he should change his position. he had put america first for a couple hours and days after january 6th. now he is putting kevin first. he realizes he needs donald trump, if he ever wants to be speaker of the house. which means for america, donald trump essentially would be speaker of the house, if kevin mccarthy were ever to get that close to the capitol. >> does it make it a worse or better that they know? there's something reassuring about listening to them correctly respond to these things. even the response to the berry more tweet, where barry more, days after this is saying, well looks like a black cop shot a white lady. they are like, oh my god. that is like, there is something reassuring words like, yes, correct, i'm not crazy, you are not crazy. people watching this i'm crazy. that is the right re

-- liz cheney and a number of aides. that is where these recordings came from and it appears that is where the call with donald trump came from as well. your thoughts on these tapes? caller: hello? host: hello. caller: hey, john. unfortunately, you get to be the guy that gets picked on by me this morning on the same topic i talked about last time i called in. it is find that you are covering this topic this morning, but i have to come again, ask -- to, again, ask, why is it that one year and a half later we still have not heard any audiotapes or seen any videos of hunter biden's laptop? that is a story, john. it really is a story and it was one that was neglected to your into africa. it is still being neglected by the powers that be including c-span. i wish she would get maranda on the program and let's have a real look at the hunter laptop story and the joe biden-hunter biden story. host: it came up yesterday when the attorney general was on capitol hill, bill hagerty of tennessee, who was asking about the hunter biden

cheney says, and you asked. you know, what happens if it gets thereafter he's gone is there any chance are you hearing that he might resign so mccarthy and liz cheney and presumably others are having enough a detailed conversation about the 25th amendment that they're talking about what might happen with the 25th amendment and its implementation if he resigns in the middle of that process. and they're trying to figure out how to play out on the ground. and then they get from that into yemen mccarthy is going to tell him to resign. in mccarthy, i will tell you this denial that you just quoted, lawrence, from mccarthy and his office today. is absolutely correct. nbc news went back to mccarthy 's office to make sure that donald was exactly what they meant. asked again if mccarthy said he would push president trump to resign, the answer was no he did not. we have mccarthy saying here he would push trump resign. mccarthy is flat out lying about this. it's very damaging to him even before the lie. but then lying about

and the crazy thing is it was all done to protect liz cheney. is protecting president trump from impeachment and kevin mccarthy was protecting liz cheney from criticism. and now she is owning them with their own words. and maybe liz cheney has done us a favor because now finally you don't have to be a lobbyist with a $5,000 check to know what kevin mccarthy and steve scalise really think. i was upfront about the fact that i was going to politically oppose liz cheney. i went to wyoming, i made my case there. this notionotion that you can he these sniveling calls and try to foment action against republicans by big td the doj is not fitting of leadership. >> tucker: that is exactly right. he can represent public and voters if you are associated with trumpet you cannot represent republican leaders if you are calling on big tech to censor voices who criticize you, and if you are accusing the people of criticizing you of committing an illegal act of violence as steve scalise just did. did he apologize for that? >> he said he was sorry for because many

cheney has denied it's come from her, and so has republican whip steve scalise. don't you think this highlights the hypocrisy of the gop? what's clear is that we have likely reached a new phase in this investigation. joining me to unpack the drama is tim miller, writer at large at "the bulwark," and analyst harry lit man. these their suggests kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell knew that trump was guilty of seeking to overthrow our government, but they didn't do anything about it. we've all suspected that that was the case, now we have actual proof. speak to the significance of these new revelations. >> look, they don't suggest it, they make it 100% clear. if this isn't impeachable, says mcconnell, i don't know what is. he did this and -- and another little detail of mccarthy, he's scared when he talks to trump that trump is going to ask for a pardon deal with pence. he knows that he's got criminal liability. look, we are used to politicians kind of shading the truth, being a little cynical, whatever. mccarthy here, it's a tsunami of ambition swamping everything.

folks like liz cheney wanting to go further, calling it a genocide.e is. and rhetorically, strategically and also economically, they've tried to maintain this alliance and that's taken some time and that's led to the frustration of members of congress. >>> our reporters will be back with us on another subject in a few minutes. >>> ahead, we'll speak to the former president of ukraine. and that your new car ought to come with newfound happiness and zezero surprises. and all of us will stop at nothing to drive you happy. we'll drive you happy at carvana. bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depreion. i just couldn't fi my way out of it. thlows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place. tuda could make a real difference latuda was proven to sigficantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. call your doctor about sudden behavior changes or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in c

. >> our first guest is a former special advisor to vice president cheney on related issues. to vice president cheney, a former cia russian analyst chief and the author of the book "the russia trap." welcome to the program. guest: thank you. host: when you see the events of the next several weeks specifically in ukraine, how would you characterize those and would you call it the right approach? guest: well, what we are trying to do is to strike a balance. on the one hand the russian invasion needs to be repelled, it needs to be countered. we cannot tell -- we cannot stand back if a country is invading a neighbor and attempting to take territory or control of that government and impose its will on it, so the united states has a clear interest in making sure that the russian invasion does not succeed in the russians do not achieve total victory. on the other hand we recognize quite wisely that there is a great danger that the united states and russia could wind up in a direct military conflict, and that is a conflict between the world's two largest nuclear powers, and the prosp

liz cheney knows the truth about kevin mccarthy.again. but the truth is the republican leadership, the republican party would let all of this happen again and they would play their role in ensuring it would all happen again. even in an environment where kevin loses his quest for the speakership for a second time, this is not a republican party in the house that would elevate somebody that is a consensus-healing figure. i don't know what happens if kevin loses the speakership because it throws the caucus in disarray. the likelihood of getting someone who will do even more bidding for donald trump, his authoritarian tendencies and willing to cover up the crimes january 6th and the ongoing crimes the republican party is willing to tolerate, the risk of somebody even greater than kevin mccarthy willing to play a role in that becomes much, much higher, mccarthy does not get the speakership. >> and it is this sort of vice that is the threat of the pod earn gop. joyce, i want to read something a little wonky on the legal front. this is a p

and finally, congresswoman, liz cheney of wyoming.republicans on the january six house elect committee. her vocal opposition to trump's big lie has led to threats, demotions from her own party, and a primary challenge. >> former president trump continues to make the same claims that he knows caused violence on january six. unfortunately, too many in my own party are embracing that former president. are looking the other way. our minimizing the danger. that's how democracies die. >> in a statement today, using a quote from kennedys 1961 inaugural address, cheney turn the attention back to the war on ukraine. and the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. today, we stand at another hour of maximum danger in the cause of freedom. president zelenskyy and the ukrainian people are teaching a new generation of americans what our founding fathers learned firsthand, absolute and uncompromising courage in the face of tyranny. to those award recipients who

and as a matter of fact, trying to run liz cheney out of the party.heney a pariah, yet, sam, he completely agreed with her in real-time. >> not only that, there's a few little gems sprinkled on that recording. if you notice the first line, it revealed they had a separate conversation earlier in which they were talking about using the 25th amendment to get trump out. so that's now revealed. i would love to hear a recording of that phone call too if one exists. secondly, he talks about making sure mike pence doesn't retroactively pardon trump, which means he was thinking ahead to the possibility of trying to make sure that whatever punishment they gave to trump was permanent. so, you know, it is one thing to say, yeah, kevin mccarthy wanted to call donald trump and push him out of office. it is deeper than that. he was scheming of ways to do it, not just by having a phone call with him. of course, that's all passed now. within a couple of weeks he was at mar-a-lago begging for forgiveness. this is why i somewhat disagree. i think for trump it is not --

you know, i was upfront about the fact that i was going to politically oppose liz cheney. i went to wyoming. i made my case there. this notion that you can have these sniveling calls, try to foment action against republicans by big tech and the doj is not fitting of leadership. well, that's exactly right. i mean, you can represent republican voters if you're personally annoyed with trump, okay, but you cannot represent a republican leaders if you're calling on big tech to censor voices who criticize you and if you're accusing people who criticize you of committing an illegal act of violence. steve scalise, you saw scalise today to apologize to you for that . he said it was he was sorry if it caused many problems. but what i said to steve scalise is that if you accuse someone of potentially breaking the law and by the way, he wasn't reacting to something he raised the prospect of the illegality of my statement that liz cheney was anti trump. i know i really went out on a limb there, tucker , but if you accuse someone of breaking the law, you have to say what law you think t

cheney denied leaking the call. joining us now is our correspondent ali vitali.itol hill? >> reporter: the fact that there are tapes of this and this audio is ricochetting throughout washington. mccarthy of course is not just trump's close ally here on the hill but with someone with speaker aspirations. all of that now is thrown into flux as we try to figure out where this story goes next. of course, you pointed out we have not heard back from mccarthy's office after that audio was out there. we have heard from two of the other people who were on that call, congresswoman liz cheney and a few minutes ago, steve scalise's office. first, steve scalise who said in a statement, "the only thing that democrats media continues to obsess over is january 6th." he's on working with his colleagues to stop the radical agenda and this is the important part. neither he or anyone on his team recorded or leaked private conversations among members. that's the parlor game that's happening here in the halls of washington. where did these recordings come from? congresswoman cheney's

congresswoman cheney is ahead of the plot.is smart of us to be parsing all of her public statements and including some of the outlines of criminal statutes that he's referencing. its does sound like. we haven't heard from the committee just yet but looking at the mirror operation, the justice department investigation, the justice department is conducting that's primarily the lane they focus on at the moment but approached it from a bottom up approach. in terms of a public perspective. but again, i do think you have seen this back and forth as mike and "the new york times" team got out about how far should the commit tee go coming to talking about criminal referrals and this disagreement that has played out in public view since bennie thompson mentioned criminal referral in december and really waffled on just how aggressive the committee's going to be but one thing that someone i spoke with who's involved in the investigation told me that resonated is the committee might be better suited to stay in the lane to prove a higher st

suzanne, congresswoman liz cheney says that she wants to see the u.s.an you tell us? >> brianna, congresswoman cheney and many others are very frustrated here in congress. this is a bipartisan group that is really pushing very, very vigorously that the u.s. participate in a more aggressive way, a more robust way to help the ukrainians not only supplying defensive materials but also offensive tools and weaponry as well. and this is not just on the house side but it's also on the senate side. to give you more context here, it was just this past week the senate armed services committee actually met and they were grilling pentagon officials essentially saying y is it that they haven't even spent nearly the $3 billion that were appropriated for this military aid for the ukrainians? have not spent even two-thirds of this. there was also a bill that was passed in haste on the senate side, really trying to streamline that process to get those materiels, those weaponry and all of the kind of support that they were hoping for much, much faster. this is what repre

but it is clear, many people share liz cheney's view.or have the courage to say it. >> it appears now they both said the quiet part out loud. it is just that mccarthy lied about saying it. former congressman charlie dent, thank you, sir. all across eastern ukraine, russia's unrelentless assault has ordinary civilians just fighting to find a place to hide. next we're going to take you to an underground bunker of sorts to meet some people who have been there hiding for weeks. nag. ok so they were trying to verify my employment status while i was at work, in a giant hole, in a mine. but then something amazing happppened. hello? carvana worked with my shift manager and got everything sorted out so i didn't miss out on the car. super helpful. i was over the moon, even though i was underground. we'll drive you happy at carvana. meet a future mom, a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's

again, this is january 10th, still siding with liz cheney.opponent. does this suggest republican leadership knew the january 6th was wrong and that it spelled trouble for their party and for the country? >> clearly, clearly does, jake. there's no doubt about it. the language that kevin mccarthy uses, and by the way, the other republican leaders on that call use, including liz cheney who was a member of leadership at the time, steve scalise who is still in leadership. tom hemmer, they talk about donald trump's behavior as totally unacceptable. and they talk about the behavior of the far right in their own conference as truly, truly dangerous. and that's obviously not something that any of them, i guess other than cheney, would say in public. and she for her trouble is no longer a member of house republican leadership. and again, this is one of the central, central stories in our book, is how the republican party at least at the leadership level, recognized on and after january 6th that this was unacceptable, it was wrong, it was danger. it was

nancy pelosi stepped in, took them away and put two trump hating types in there, liz cheney and the otheruy. so, it's not going to be a fair trial, number one. number two, i watched barack obama just get finished talking. now, barack obama created black lives matter. when a reporter asked him two or three months before he was ready to retire from his second term, he said, aren't you afraid of the white people, what do you call them, fascists out there that might do you some harm? the president, he answered no. he said because as we speak, i am creating my own private army. no reporter asked him what the president of the united states meant by that strange remark. about a month after that, he went to an all black college -- host: we are going to move on to our next caller. donald, florida, republican, will the january 6 attack be a factor in your vote? go ahead. caller: yeah, a central factor in my vote. these people that say that wasn't nothing, 144 police officers stampede. we are hitting them over the head with the flag. they smashed their head, they cut fingers off. donald trump went t

republican congresswoman liz cheney was quick to push back. let's listen to all of this. >> i wasn't satisfied with what i heard. it is crucially important the united states be clear we are absolutely committed to zelenskyy's victory. we should not be talking about, as jake sullivan did just now, improving zelenskyy's position at the negotiating table. this is about defeating russian forces in ukraine. i think this clearly is genocide. >> you heard her come out and say this is genocide. but jake sullivan wouldn't say it. labeling doesn't matter. why stop short of calling this genocide? the administration has been forthright in calling what we're seeing war crimes, calling putin a war criminal. >> he's clearly a war criminal. that new general is clearly a war criminal. in my view, it is genocide. president putin has said many times, he's written as well as said, that ukraine doesn't exist. he is taking action to do that, to make ukraine not exist, to wipe ukraine off the map. that, pamela, is genocide. now there may be implications of that desi

as our living barr said, i've never agreed with cheney once, but when all is said and done, cheney has beliefs, trump has none. >> wow. neal katyal, always prepared on more than one front. we love it. tip of the hat. it is interesting hearing you say those arguments are valid, might be interesting debatable questions. of course, people will remember to the extent congress stays out of this stuff completely, those days, if they ever existed are certainly over. james comey spent a lot of time writing letters back to the committees. they have a lawful oversight function. folks can disagree about when and how that all went down, but we're in that push and pull, and there was an attempted coup. we've had people come on this program and outline the aspects of it. they admit to this part, not that part. then we saw the violence. we know what happened. i also want to look at the contempt proceedings that have been in the news. you mentioned they've already made those criminal referrals. that's the link. if we agree that no one is above the law, the fact that donald trump was the president does

i don't think liz cheney would do this. i frankly don't think a member would do this. but i think a staffer who was freaked out at the fear that was palpable in the house chamber when shots rang out and someone was killed right outside the doors to the house of representatives, i think the stuff that worked there were traumatized by that. and i think they have continued to be very upset behind the scenes over the failure of the republican party to be taken seriously. >> michael, is there a chance these leaks are actually stealing the january six committees thunder? and these are their because, it's gonna be a big hollow when it comes to public hearings >> know, i think quite the contrary. i think these leaks should be adding more fuel to their fire. i think these leaks should be clarified and what steps they are taking. not just for the january six commission, but also for the doj. i mean, stephanie, how much smoke those guns have to admit before there are consequences? i mean, we are tiptoeing around tonight, you know, the chairman of the committee, with all due respe

somehow dulles cheney.at says everything you need to know about just how off the rails today's republican party is. and we really should worry what happens to the house of representatives. mountains of this country if these people actually do regain control, because they're worse than ever. >> and, stuart, the essence of the conspiracy for weeks became january 6th, and it was aimed at vice president pence throwing out electoral results. i know those people seem to wonder why i'll gordon do that in what was his own presidential election when he was the vice president, and on january 6th, did not throw out florida's electoral results. didn't try to, basically, grab the election from self in any way. but mike pence didn't actually, decide according to all the reporting on this. he didn't decide not to do that. until about 24 hours before the moments was going to come real's gonna have to basically participate in the certification of the electoral college. >> i mean, look, we're doing? all we know that there wa

it is not the dick cheney i used to know. now maybe dick cheney's outlook was changed by a heart attack or maybe it was changed by the fact that 3,000 americans were killed on september 11th. so for cheney it was very rational. he said i won't let this happen again. when you look at vladimir putin, he looks at the fact that in 2008 he goes into georgia and the west does nothing. in 2014 he goes into ukraine and the west does nothing. he takes over crimea and west does nothing. go news syria and commits war crimes every bit as bad as he committing right now and the west does nothing. and he shoots down commercial airplanes, the west does nothing. you look at 2016 campaign, and the disinformation and about presidential campaign and the west does nothing. so, why wouldn't he assume if the west has done nothing, and he's never been punished over the past 15 years for his war crimes, why would he think that things would be different in 2022. it seems to me that he may actually be a very shrewd calculating customer who knows he's b

liz cheney sort of kept it up. you look at mccarthy and mcconnell where mcconnell has not spoken to donald trump since that day. mccarthy said critical things about president trump after january 6 paid when he realized the base did not react that way, he comes back into the trump column. mcconnell basically decided not to yell as loudly and be as critical as he was. liz cheney showed the acorn does not fall for far from the tree. she is not going to run from a fight. you can agree or disagree with her, but she is just like her dad. host: quickly, democrats or republicans take the senate? guest: i think both the house and senate are going republican. what ought to scare the heck out of democrats is let's say republicans have a 52-48 majority, you go into 2024, there are 23 democratic seats up, 10 republican seats. what is worse for democrats is there are seven democratic senate seats up in states donald trump carried in 2016 or 2020. there is not a single republican seat up that hillary clinton or joe biden carried.
