news out of cpac this morning.reasurer of the organization has resigned, citing financial mystery surrounding chairman matt schlapp. in his resignation letter, bob raised concerns over how cpac is funding schlapp's legal defense against a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault against a male aide. beauprez wrote, quote, a cancer has been metastasizing within the organization for years. let's bring in the political reporter who wrote the "new york" magazine article about the allegations. ben, a lot to sort through here. forgive me if it doesn't sound like i've already heard this story before. like, this is, this is wayne la pierre stuff at the nra. it seems like the nra and cpac just can't keep their book straight. but this is connected to, i think, perhaps, a bigger scandal in cpac that the board appears to be, i don't know, trying to cover up or trying to defend. >> that's right, joe. the board is schlapp's friends. it's a hand-picked board, and they're all on his team and all working, you know, all fed informatio

they just held another cpac event in hungary because cpac now regularly wants to kiss the ring of theritarian right-wing leader of hungary, a man named viktor orban. history is great, right? the first cpac event with viktor orban was just august of last year. and that was an amazing thing, because orban last july i just given a speech where he railed against reese mixing. he said, there should be no race mixing. and in his hungary, there would be no more race mixing. his anti misogynation speech was so alarming that one of his own top advisers resigned from the hungarian government saying, quote, the speech you delivered is a purely nazi taxed worthy of joseph garbles. orban did not apologize. he gave that speech in july. and then, in august, cpac invited him to speak to u.s. conservatives in dallas. they were ecstatic to give him a big standing ovation. and, now, cpac holds events in hungary every year, apparently, to continue to honor him. so, trump, just three days ago, spoke at the viktor orban cpac event on friday. and this friday, he will host the hitler was right guys at his ho

so trump just three days ago spoke at the victor orban cpac event on friday. and this friday he'll hote the hitler was right guys at his hotel in florida. tonight nbc news is verifying some of what are the worst of theor apparent motivation behin the gun massacre that happened this weekend in allen, tex. we're alsole learning the identities of some killed on saturday. these two beautiful little girls, second grade and fourth grade, they were both killed on saturday in allen, texas. this family, the mother and the father were killed and their 3-year-old son was killed with them. their 6-year-old son survived alone. this young woman, 26 years old, an engineer, she was killed. this young s man, 23 years old,e was working there as a security guard, he was killed. and there's so much that is disgusting and unsettling about these latest killings including sort of what they connect to. you might remember it was a year ago this weak at a gunman motivated by white supremacist racist ideology wept to buffalo, went into a super market in a black naeshd in buffalo and kil

contender notably absent from cpac was florida governor desantis.ly took over the board that controls disney world's development district. and one of desantis' new appointees is former pastor and middle school health teacher pronouncing every syllable in "menstruation," ron peri. peri is getting some attention for this comment he made in 2022. >> why are there homosexuals today? there are any number of reasons. you know, there's estrogen in the water from birth control pills. they can't get it out. >> stephen: obviously, that's not a thing. but if you are concerned, "the late show" has a new sponsor just for you. >> "are you worried about tap water turning you gay? then try "man water", ♪ man water ♪ the first bottled water that's filtered through beef jerky and then exposed to straight porn. this water has never cried or watched "thelma and louise". ♪ man water ♪ it was also raised by a cold, distant father that never said "i love you." man water.

i am from cpac. i have two children in the district and i am here tonight to speak for to speak about pac. it's forbidding chinese parents from participating. they have lost their trust. they have developed a monopoly that excludes everyone else. i hope you intervene and help us regain trust in pac. there is chinese present tonight. i hope the district could help cpac to help restore our trust in pac. thank you. >> go ahead. >> hi. good evening members of the school board. my name is rabbi dr. rothchild and -- what's up with the teachers money? please pay the teachers. thank you. now, president boggess as a woman of the jewish community i see this unfortunate pac is discriminating against africans based on race. it's illegal. it's unconstitutional. it's unconstitutional and [inaudible]. simply -- [off mic] is not enough. you must reform it completely. the intent is covered by the examiner and other newspapers. let's bring back the great school expert to give the pac a new life. thank you very much. >

i mean, but let's also set aside the fact that he was producing words for cpac hungary. what he's going to do next. tucker is not going to disappear. we're not that lucky as a culture. he's already floating ideas that he'll do his own debate, which let's be clear, none of these people have the courage to say no. they would all go. this is his new idea. he'll do his own -- he wants to be bigger than a podcaster. he would forefit millions owed to him. i know he's rich from all the frozen dinners, but he ain't going to afford millions. your thoughts on that. >> this is where fox really holds a lot of the cards in terms of letting him out of his existing contract, because if they don't, he can't go on tv until after the presidential election. and the one thing we do know about former fox hosts who go somewhere else and have to -- there's a gap between their tv life, it doesn't really end well. they don't ever retain the status and visibility and influence they had at fox, whether it was glenn beck, megyn kelly, bill o'reilly, so the worst thing that could happen to tucker ca

conference organized by nick fuentes to compete with the conservative political action conference known as cpacis new story reveals his ties -- gosar's ties to the white supremacist movement go even deeper. hunter walker, if you can lay out what you found about his digital director? >> amy, great to see, first up. as you pointed out, paul gosar already has been linked directly and personally. but his relationship with this neo-nazi leader has been one of alternately embracing him and distancing himself from him. as you alluded to, paul gosar has appeared at two editions of nick fuentes political action conference, once in person and once by video. but after the second one caused backlash, gosar says nick has a problem with his mouth and attempt to to disavow him somewhat. he has operated with a bit of plausible deniability as he has repeatedly been tied to extremist activity, including having antisemitic websites appearing in his official newsletter. i think this story, one of the key things about it is it removes that veil a plausible deniability for paul gosar. what i found is the staffer in

when you go to republican events, whether it be cpac or a trump rally or a desantis event, time and againe issue that gets the loudest response from the crowd is having to do with a ban on gender affirming care or ban on trans athletes being able to take part in the sport with the gender they identify with, and so for republican cause here, donald trump is trying to match where ron desantis is at here and essentially this legislation just lays down the foundation for where republicans are going to be likely in this presidential race. >> but governor, i mean, attacking transgender kids, why is that what republicans care about right now? should that be what they care about? should that be the party's priority. >> there are two social issues, one the republicans are on the defensive, that's abortion. a very conservative north carolina legislature instead of doing six months like most republican states are doing now, they went to 12 months -- >> six weeks, they went to 12 weeks. >> 12 weeks, i apologize. 6 weeks to 12 weeks, which is a major move for republicans in a primary. on the gender id

i was at cpac where marjorie taylor greene met with the january 6th folks and talked about the need to pardon them. this it is a through line through the party he is reflecting. that is a general election problem. but a country problem is that it's not an issue in the short term because enough republicans are with him on that message, at least for the primary. >> to the lawyer at the table, he said a lot that i am sure his lawyers wouldn't be thrilled about hearing. but i want your take on the classified document exchange that they had last night at mar-a-lago. let's listen. >> did you ever show those classified documents to anyone? >> not really. i would have the right to. by the way, they were declassified -- >> what do you mean not really? >> not that i can think of. i have the absolute right to do what i want to do with them. i had the right. >> first of all, not really. that was everything that he said, not really. what did you think we heard? >> you know, he claimed to be sort of -- he was playing negotiator and chief. i am going to negotiate the abortion problem, negotiate ukrai

from the political angle, there is no issue that gets a bigger ovation from a republican crowd from cpac to a trump rally to a desantis event than issues related to gender affirming care for minors to the gender identity of children playing sports. this is for ron desantis a foundation of his political bid because, look, he as the governor has no say in foreign relations. he as governor only has so much capacity to take the economy and do what he pleases with it. right now you're looking at record unemployment rates. that is where you saw him really come to notoriety last year when he signed that first don't say gay bill, and guess what, he won re-election handily despite the uproar and the pushback to that. now these four bills, they are number one banning gender affirming care, limiting and restricting the drag shows and the ability for young minors to engage and be a part and watch those shows. but also, you have what is taught in schools, number one, prohibit sexual orientation or gender identity instruction in prekindergarten, restricts health education and requires that reproductiv

. >> i went to a trump event in iowa, like a rally relatively recently, cpac and other things, you seeld layoff on the election denial, we got to move on. i really wish, you know, we had another option or i wish that he could stop doing this or that. you see that exhaustion. and i 100% believe in the anecdotal evidence that it is not just anecdotal, what people are saying to you in real life, right? like we were talking about ai and disinformation. like what people say to you in real life is how that shows where america really is. and they are exhausted. i guess that is why they elected a democrat in jacksonville. >> and another election, more proof that denying the results of the 2020 election is not a winning platform. kentucky secretary of state michael adams easily won the state's republican primary defeating two challengers who had campaigned on claims of voter fraud. that was the message. one had said he personally saw hackers manipulate u.s. election results online. adams who helped to expand voting abscess in 2021 said that he is unwilling to indicator to conspiracy theorists i
