republican congressman matt gaetz of florida, who is one of trump's most self-debasing simps in congress, heard the boss' call to arms and the next day congressman gaetz and dozens of his republican colleagues stormed a secure room in the basement of the house, where an impeachment hearing was being held. most did not have clearance to be in the area, and they brought cell phones and other smart devices, which are strictly prohibited. and they were demanding, quote, transparency, but it is clear the real purpose of the stunt was to put on a show for an audience of one, to let donald trump know that they were willing to fight for him on tv. did i do it good enough? was this okay? to take the gloves off. the group ordered pizza, and they ate fast food and generally made a circus of things, and lest you believe for a moment this was a genuine spur of the moment protest, congressman gaetz actually issued a press release the day before, still available on his website. as press releases often do, it contained guidance for where the media should station its tv cameras. that's what, of course, t

and that clip i saw circulating on social media of gaetz saying this is what's going to happen when weshould be cut and included in democratic ads in districts across the country. show people what republicans plan to do if they get power, to mobilize them to get out and vote in the midterms because they're not joking when they say it's going to be all about revenge, revenge hearings, revenge investigation, revenge impeachment hearings even, revenge in removing democrats from committee seats for no reason at all, only to say they did it and only to score political points because they're all leveraging trump's playbook. but the democrats have an explicit villain they need to continuously point out over the next year to really get into voters' minds about turning out for 2022. >> so mark mckinnon, provided you are both right, here's the tougher question. mark, you were through the red on red violence we see going on, all of it of the verbal variety. what would you rather be going into the midterms? this is about infighting. both parties have it. would you rather be the democrats or the re

late bob dole or just sort of old regan republican party, that this is a different kind of party matt gaetz made it clear a, he'll try to make donald trump the next speaker of the house which he theoretically can do, you don't have to be a member of the house to be speaker or they're going to use the speaker, the house as a star chamber to do their same sort of theater attacks on democrats with committee chairmanships and they want to use the house to continue to do this demonstration of autocracy and democrats seem to be waiting for that to happen and drawing out the investigation. i mean, steve bannon's case isn't going to come to trial until next july. is there enough urgency to stand in the way of what is not just a nasty party that could take power but a party that wants to implement something fund mentally you know different from american democracy? >> i can tell you i personally feel the urgency. i can tell you from being a member of my own caucus we feel the urgency. yesterday's decision by the trump appointed judge to not bring bannon for another eight months only added to our urge

congressman gaetz. -- still available on his website. it contains guidance for which the media should station it's tv cameras. that is of course with this is really all about. performing outrage on tv so that donald trump would like that. gaetz's press release also included a list of rsvps, including two familiar names. congressman jim jordan of ohio and congressman mark meadows of carolina. both men are die hard trump supporters. so their presence does not come as much of a surprise. except here is the thing, they both sat on the house oversight committee. that is the committee that was conducting that -- the committee that was allowed to be in the room. they already had access to the hearing they were crashing, to complain about the lack of access. >> it's finally reached the boiling point, where members just said there are so frustrated at the idea that they can't be a part of this and see what is going on. and so we are at a standstill. we will see what happens with today's witness. >> again, at the time, congressman jordan was actua

here's what matt gaetz had to say. >> if you do take the house, would you want expresident trump to be about it? >> i have. >> what did he say? >> oh, i keep my conversations with the former president between the two of us. >> let's bring in mark murray. let's just put a few like things out into the universe here. number one, donald trump loves the dangle. he loves the idea of this dangling out there even though some of his closest aides say it is not real, not going to happen. number two, it feels in some ways this is about congressman matt gaetz not just trying to win over former president trump because he loves to see, this loves to see this stare, but also trying to stick a needle in kevin mccarthy, who very much wants to be speaking if the republicans take back the house in 2022. talk about why this is actually significant here. >> hallie, there is a lot going on here. first, how this idea actually came of being, one of those, we are doing to restore donald trump to the white house, into the presidency without him having to run for re-election in 2024. you have seen a lot of those

matt gaetz, marjorie taylor green, lauren boebert, paul gosar, among those having a press conference.he insurrection saying they were treated unfairly. at the event, congressman gaetz said he still likes the idea of donald trump as speaker if the republicans win the majority. they poke their own leadership and they just say things that -- forgive me -- are not american, not patriotic about people who stormed the capitol building. >> yeah. i think what you're seeing is they're trying to say that they're the ones defending that. the idea of trump being speaker is not seen as realistic by anyone. it is something they keep pushing, that you see mark meadows push, steve bannon originated the idea, he pushed it heavily. that's obviously not going to happen. it does show back to be what dan crenshaw was saying about what is the point here, what is -- what do they prefer to talk about, what do they prefer to be on the news talking about this. the problem i think of lauren boebert staying in the headline poses for nancy pelosi is she is continuing to get pressure over how she's going to respon

at this time i would like to yield to my friend from florida, congressman gaetz. rep. gaetz: i am sure glad nancy pelosi kicked marjorie taylor greene offer committees because it gave her an opportunity to prepare this report, which constitutes the most rigorous oversight work republicans have done in 117th congress. lord help them when dr. -- is a bill to join congress when greens efforts with more of his time. how many and who's next? that is what we are wondering. it has been 47 days since attorney general garland came to the house judiciary committee and misled our committee regarding the targeting of parents as domestic terrorists for attending school board meetings and having their voice heard. because who's next? is it going to be the parents who find themselves in the conditions that we see from the january 6th detainees? the january 6th detainees who are denied basics access to medical care and constitutional rights today but tomorrow it can be the school board parents. the day after that the rest of us. all of you. it has been 174 days since my colleagues and

perhaps in the case of florida congressman matt gaetz, he's hoping rittenhouse can help him find a few good defense lawyers of his own. elise, what should we add to the list? >> for the gop, i mean. >> how much time we got? >> yeah, how much time? we have so many. i think, really, the covid antics, just not taking covid seriously, and you see so many lawmakers who are, you know, they're still refusing to get a vaccination and their fines go up and up and up in the halls of congress, and then just the message that that sends to americans, to have this chorus of doubt about whether you should still get vaccinated and whether it's necessary. it's harmed the health and wellbeing of our entire country. >> i've got to find out how they're collecting these fines. are they deducting it out of the salaries? you made me think about something. we need to find out if these fines are being paid. >> right? good idea. >> i'm going to have to go with lauren boebert on this one with her -- not only is she spreading islamaphobia with her account of what did not happen but the fact that she's actually ly

soldiers in congress, and you named a few o' them, marjorie taylor greene, an madison cawthorn, matt gaetz, and lauren boebert.rn what they want to do, rather than going after democrats like you would in a traditional campaign and trying to flip seats to gain a majority, what they want to do is going after those they think is not loyal to trump.oiyocano maybe they voted for his impeachment, maybe they voted for the infrastructure bill, but they want to create a republican caucus in congress that is en completely devoted to trump and have them in place for 2024 in the event that he runs. >> so can you just -- talk to me a little bit about these maga members of congress and the new candidates that they're lytho t supporting and how they see themselves different from other republicans. i mean, are they using policy issues here? i mean, to an outside observer, most house republicans look like, you know, pretty strong trump supporters. over half of them voted not to certify joe biden's win. so i'm curious, based on your ke reporting, is there a set of policy issues or is it just about fealty to

were talking about this, he took an unsolicited detour at some point and started ranting about matt gaetzers and talking about how basically the entertainer complex and our politics had been so dominant and how this was going to get much, much worse before it got better and so when you placed a guy like a peter meier in the context of all of that, he is, in many ways the antithesis of this. he's a smart and earnest guy who thought that when he was elected to congress that he would be in the majority and that the -- some of the clowns in his freshman class like marjorie tailer greene that he would be the vocal majority and instead he finds himself in the minority that actually came to congress to legislate. >> we are watching this play out with boebert, marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz and gosar. mccarthy is scared to cross them the way he's scared to cross trump and it means, ashgs the next class of freshmen members of congress there will be 20 like them. if the midterms go the way we think they might and particularly with redistricting, where that will be what it means increasingly

>> i remember the day that gaetz covered the phone and he said jim, twitter is cyber beating us. my first reaction was that sounds terrible but what is cyber banning. >> he understands the tech world better and how the stuff works better than i do. and he explained it to me and it turned out he was right it was gaetz, meadows, this is in the summer of 2018 it was interesting because this is played out to twitter and twitter came back and said this is jack dorsey and hiswi spokesperson said this was a glitch in algorithm and i know at the time i was giving an interview and they said it was a glitch in algorithm and i said what about algorithm, do they think were that crazy. this is the concern what big tech is doing to conservatives the example the ayatollah can treat the president trump can't. the censorship concerns and the coalition and the coordination between big tech and big media to keep the american people from getting important information like the 2020 election when big tech and big media work together and make sure the america people did not get the full information abo
