they kind of know, the leadership, mccarthy and elyse stefanik.east elise stefanik has a track record here. this is not the first time that she said something controversial, offensive and wrong that. strikes me as the reason why they might have acted a little quicker. i'm with scott. the only thing i'll say is when scott said they already stripped her of the committee. the house did but kevin mccarthy didn't. the house broadly vote on it. i would think that there are options to them short of expulsion. there's censure and a slightly less nasty reprimand. i mean, there are ways that this can be done, and has been done. dave sidewalker in 2020 was censured and charlie rangel in 20 so, new york democrat was censured so it's happened. it can happen. actions speak louder than words, and i think they have to do more. >> it's interesting to see the waterfall of condemnation seeming to start this morning with the tweet from one of the top fund-raisers for former trump jeff miller who tweeted wtf. what's wrong with you? i think you need to pay a visit to t

loyalist and -- and this is where she wants to be, and to me at the end of the day this vote says and elysecoming in. donald trump has taken back this party and the house republicans with a vengeance. >> gloria, people i know who worked in the bush white house with elise stefanek say they don't recognize her anymore saying she's become so terrorism and speaker pelosi accused mccarthy in leadership that he doesn't view as a threat. >> they want another woman if they are going to oust. the optics of ousting liz cheney and not having another woman in leadership doesn't look good. mccarthy didn't see her as much of a threat and he finds her an announce and is angry with her as lots of republicans are because she will not let them forgot and that's the issue here. >> they want to forgot it. they don't wand to be held accountable for january 6th and their reaction. they want to talk about whatever they want to talk about with joe biden and liz cheney is standing there staying you can't cross the brugge. yes, we're not going to forgot this and that's work and that threatened democracy and if we wa

republicans will likely vote this week to replace her with new york representative elyse stefanik. but there are other party members who disagree. >> oh, i think they're concerned about retaliation from the president. they're concerned about being attacked within the party. and you know, it just bothers me that you have to swear fealty to the dear leader or you get kicked out of the party. it just doesn't make any sense. >> so i think what the reality is is as a party we have to have an internal look and a full accounting as to what led to january 6th. i mean, right now it's basically the "titanic." we're like in the middle of this slow sink. we have a band playing on the deck telling everybody it's fine. and meanwhile as i've said donald trump's running around trying to find women's clothing and get on the first lifeboat. and i think there's a few of us saying guys, this is not good, not just for the future of the party but this is not good for the future of this country. >> ron brownstein is a cnn senior political analyst and a senior editor for "the atlantic." he joins me now fr

country, but now she's the congresswoman that donald trump wants to replace lynne cheney so how did elyse stefanek go from being a trump skeptic to one of the biggest spreaders of the big lie? >> plus, wear your mask and earplugs. a thundering herd of billions of cicadas are coming, so where are they headed? welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. president biden trying to put a positive spin on a massively disappointing jobs report. president biden says any growth proves that the economy is moving in the right direction but each he is admitting that there's a, quote, long way to go. the april jobs report said the u.s. added 266,000 jobs which in normal times would be a solid performance but economists had predicted that the wide vaccine rollout and the reopening of the economy would spur hiring, and they had expected that jobs report to show at least 1 million, 1 million new jobs added to the economy and instead the u.s. got a quarter of that. while president biden is attempting to spin those numbers his treasury secretary offered a more blunt assessment. >> if i had had to write down a

. >> do you support elyse stefanik for that job? christine todd whitman who headed up the epa under george w. bush. great to see you, governor. >> good to be with you again. >> it was only months ago that kevin mccarthy called liz cheney a fighter and a powerful voice for conservatives and then it was only five months ago that kevin mccarthy said donald trump bears responsibility for the january attack on congress by that mob of rioters. he said trump should have immediately denounced what happened. he called it anti-democratic. so how did he change in this space of just a few months? >> you're really going to have to ask him because i don't get it. i mean i do. this is fear of the base. there is now just a feality in the republican party that has nothing to do with public policy or issues but how loyal you are to donald trump. that means a hundred percent buy-in to this fake story about elite lex was stolen. there were over 60 lawsuits that proved it was not stolen. no fraud enough to change the outcome of any election results was

republican conference over the last several days it is clear that liz cheney's support has cratered, elyse stefanek has locked down enough support and that this would be the biggest shake-upch republican leadership that we've seen since john boehner stepped down as the house speaker in 2015. >> manu, what does congresswoman cheney have to say? >> behind the scenes he's not moving to try to lock down support unlike in february in february when she survived an attempt to push her out. that time she spent time on the phone explaining her vote to impeach donald trump and eventually won a vote pretty easily in the house republican conference. this time she's not doing that. she's saying privately she's telling her allies she won't lie or stay quiet in order to keep her post and one person familiar with liz cheney's thinking told me earlier today that she's fighting this larger battle that's for the soul of the party and preserving the foundations of our democracy, so she sees exactly where this vote is headed. her voice will be heard in the hours and days to come, but she's making it clear here

correspondent steve hartman last year as a way of bringing people together during the pandemic and elysereston asked him why he hopes taps across america will become a national tradition. truck this is what memorial day sounded like last year for tens of thousands of bugler's and trumpeters. with memorial day parades and ceremonies canceled because of the pandemic, the honored america's patriots by playing taps. from coast-to-coast, musicians of all skill levels answer the call from cbs's steve hartman and taps for veterans and together they created taps across america. >> i was not surprised and i was blown away that everybody felt as i did, that this is what america needed right now. took the idea came from a story he did nine years ago. he played taps every day at sunset to honor america's veterans. >> i am in another zone when i play. i am not aware of anything but the fact i am playing this in the best that i can and do a good job. took what about that story resonated with you years later? >> what struck me most about the story was not just the plane of the taps but when the neighbo
