how do you assess matt gaetz's tomfoolery this week? >> i mean it's theater but it's really amateur theater. i was looking at those clips and it's right out of wayne's world. it's aurora public access television like down to the bad lighting and the sort of forced applause. the other part of this is they're not really good at it. it looks more pathetic and laughable except when you do sort of force shell to step back and say whether this is about and realize it's really sad, it's really dangerous. especially when you have, the thing that's hardest for me to get my head around and to accept is the people who know better. yes there are a lot of people in congress who don't take their jobs particularly seriously and don't think very highly of their voters, their electors, because they had insult them every step of the way. the ted cruzes, the josh hauleys, the kevin mccarthy's of the world all know better. i guarantee you if you were to put an open mic or some kind of recording device on every single one of these people for like an hour af

gaetz is done the same thing, especially with literary figures. our job is to solicit manuscripts, find the authors and help the press conceive the series broadly. also, our job is to give the series chronological range in our discussions. always trying to balance the 19th century with the 20th century, a few books about people and characters from antiquity, shakespeare for example. that is our job and eventually we read proposals, recommend to the press, not working with a brand-new editor. jesse kendig has been hired in part to edit this series which is quite exciting. there are a lot of authors now beginning to hear about this series or this series and they have ideas, i always wanted to write about so and so, that -- >> host: how is it being funded? >> guest: it it is being funded by yale university press and actually beyond that i can't say because i'm not sure that i know. yale press is getting it from one of their funds but also raising money to fund this series and they hope it will be funded through sales. the jewish lives series has done

matt gaetz can't chair anything.ng. they used hearing language. "i yield my time." "thank you for testifying." no such thing happening. complete sham allowed by kevin mccarthy. but it makes a mockery of our rule of law and our justice system, because as you said, the people who were invited to speak, many of them have been arrested on felonies for their participation in january 6th. so they're being honored for being criminals. so this was a celebration of criminality. a sham hearing by sham members of congress who actually don't represent anything other than a very violent fringe of their constituency, and it's all about perpetuating the lie that these are patriots, january 6th was a patriotic act, the election was fraudulent, and they've got to keep this going. it's the only grip they have on power. but from a bigger lens here, let's back up and realize what they're doing. they are saying, we like the idea of violent insurgency, we like the idea of overturning our legitimate government. because look, we're setting

for contents these were job applicants at gaetz ventures which is bill gates private office. the unusual and potentially illegal questions might have been asked of both men and women, but so far only women candidates have come forward saying that during their job interviews they were asked things like if they had extramarital affairs, what kinds of pornography they prefer or if they ever contracted a sexually transmitted disease. the people at gaetz ventures claimed they were unaware of the questions which they call unacceptable. gaetz ventures also points out that job screening was done by a private security company called concentric advisors. here is where it gets interesting. concentric advisors says it didn't directly ask questions about sexual or medical history but also acknowledges that information can be volunteered by the candidates during the follow-up interviews. concentric security was quick to say that its goal during the job screening is to find information that could be used to blackmail or compromise the potential employees and says its protocols comply with t

that mccarthy negotiated with republicans in order to win the speakership must be renegotiated g gaetz teased further spats down the road if the deal is not changed. part of the original agreement includes the motion to vacate, which would force a vote that could potentially remove mccarthy from the speakership. that idea was floated during the passage of the debt agreement but never did come to fruition >> brie, thank you >>> now to a nbc news exclusive for you this morning the office of special counsel of government watchdog agency says that the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre violated the hatch act during a press briefing last november the hatch act is designed to prevent federal employees from engaging in electoral politics while on the job the complaint filed by a watchdog group says she made comments disparaging to gop candidates, including referring to mega maga officials who don't believe in the rule of law despite this, the office of special counsel said they would not pursue disciplinary action against jean-pierre, as it was unclear whether she was aware that t

he retweets matt gaetz who says, if there is not a renegotiating power sharing agreement, then perhaps we will be back here next week. melanie of cnn, she tweets, they have agreed to end a blockade of the house while they continue his questions with mccarthy about a new power-sharing agreement for multiple members leaving the speaker's office. if there are no votes in the house tonight. i guess, some of the concern is, if that is true, it sounds like the power-sharing and negotiations of the legislation will be between the right wing and the far right wing. it does not bode well for bipartisanship. my friends all know if you want to have legislation that actually becomes law, you need to have democrats to. work with you. . i've never heard of such a thing about a new power-sharing agreement. is this what the 11 members who voted no on the debt deal? >> as long as i am sitting on this chair, you have nothing to be concerned about. >> but, i think if the deals not with you, then it is with the speaker of the house. >> i would not worry too much about that. those are both. terrific report

gaetz. >> white house staffers are some of the most powerful people on the planet earth. oftentimes, they get the dispositive opinion on appointments to different positions -- they influence statements of administrative policy. they initiate regulatory reform, they often have a significant voice on legislation that is considered and approved. and so, mr. sauer, i want to understand how many of these intensely powerful people would work in the biden white house were involved in this effort you've been investigating regarding the desire to shape discussions on social media. >> at least 20 and very likely over. >> and was there a ringleader of this group, someone -- pervasive and repeated efforts to try to coerce social media companies to shape the truth according to the biden white house? >> deputy assistant to the president, rob flaherty, and also andy slavitt. >> who is rob hilarity? >> he's i believe the digital coordinator for the white house. his level as deputy assistant to the president. >> and what behaviors of mr. flaherty did you observe that you found troubling?

and i sit before you with gratitude because as you said congressman gaetz being a force multiplier i'm talking about what happened on january 6th as porpghtly what's happened since then wouldn't be more porpght and i salute you for that. but if it were -- the mistreatments of these j6 defendants -- that they're targeted they're lied about in the press. the prosecutors leak on them all things you all recognize from your own work. and yet that would and should be a tragedy. but it's coupled with a travesty of the select committee that benny thompson and liz cheney convene and spent 21 million to go through systemically and cause damage to the system not the individuals. the system that we rely on so much and so thank you, by the way i didn't -- chairman -- congressman gaetz i represent three of the defendants also. as attorney -- and that were in the jail here, and i'm on board of one of the organizations patriot freedom project that try thoaps the families and it how i know so many witness they're extraordinary today. so -- for this, and broadly speaking any testimony which i'll summari

congressman matt gaetz was calling durham, quote, part of the cover-up.made of the gop response to his testimony. >> well, you know, the matt gaetz's and the donald trumps and others are deeply d disappointed because this was a four-year, biden was supposed to be indicted, clinton was supposed to be indicted and god knows who else. none of that materialize. the most he was able to come up with was he believed the fbi was justified in opening up a preliminary investigation, not a full investigation. that was it. talk about a nothing burger. the two cases he brought to trial, he lost. the defendants were acquitted in a matter of hours. and so, yes, i think the maga world was deeply upset with that. they try to put the best spin on it they can. but compared to the expectations they set and what was delivered, they're deeply upset with him. >> congressman adam schiff. i appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> just ahead, as ukraine claims more gains in its counteroffensive, cnn's ben wedeman takes a trip to a recently liberated village in sout

at this point you are hearing from some congressional allies of the former president, matt gaetz, jim jordan among others echoing the familiar refrain from donald trump this is a witch hunt there is some dissent in the republican field. chris christie for example earlier today. somebody else newly officially entered into the republican fray running for the white house called these essentially self-inflicted wounds for the former president. his whole campaign is truly based on an anti-trump frame here, lester >> all right thank you. >>> chief white house correspondent kristen welker joining us now. any reaction from the president or anyone at the white house tonight? >> not yet, lester so far the white house is not commenting on the indictment i can tell you the strategy inside the administration they are planning not to engage. the administration really sees no political upside to weighing in right now. instead you can expect mr. biden to continue to try to draw a split screen with his predecessor and remind voters he is the one in the oval office right now. i also expect based on my

. >> peter, wasn't this also a reminder, or even a realization that maybe that matt gaetz, jim jordanorie taylor greene of the republican party, at least in the house, is not nearly as powerful as a lot of people who thought they were? this was a return to normal. old school politicians classically negotiating -- >> right. it was a test of kevin mccarthy. and we knew, of course, that joe biden sees himself as a bipartisan leader. he passed a number of big bills in the last two years with bipartisan votes. we did not really know about kevin mccarthy. because, of course, he won the speakership after 15 ballots, only by making concession after concession to the matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene wing of the party. so, the theory was, okay, he's going to have to be beholden to their view, the much more explosive view of politics rather than the deal making view. instead, what he proved here is that he does actually, at least in this instance, he wanted to govern. he want to come up with a compromise even though it meant that he had to give up a lot of things that he would have liked and h

so, what might mccarthy be facing for the mtg's and the matt gaetz's of the world?ple he had to concede so much to, in order to gain the speakers gavel? with us, msnbc news contributor, almond novels. chief correspondent at pbs news hour and back with us. matt dowd, ahmed, talk us through how all of this is playing out among house republicans. >> alicia, credit where credit is due to kevin mccarthy for what he was able to accomplish with that debt ceiling bill. let's just talk about those numbers for a second. across the republican conference, you can see 17 senators on the republican side vote for that bill. two thirds of house republicans as well. but dozens and dozens of house republicans voted against it and i remember back on the day when that bill was making its way through the rules committee, and there were a lot of questions about whether or not it would even past that first hurdle. i was speaking with the freedom caucus chair, scott perry, and even at that very moment, he was saying, they did not support that bill. they would not support that bill. i press

. >> representative gaetz and members of the house attending today, dr. gosar, at the fielding, thank you for the opportunity to testify. let me make seven quick points. first, one of the original sins of government that is carried and caused the poor treatment of the january 6th processor defendant is the lawless formation of the house select st committee on virginia six committee completing to enacting a one-sided and due process freeway. that committee was gerrymandered by speaker pelosi, operating without a ranking member or counsel to the ranking member. liz cheney was granted vice chair status to try to cover that up. the committee then at a series of carefully scripted by hollywood hearings with the entire q&a path was prewritten and mashed with cherry picked snippets of highly edited audio, i'm sorry, video and audio doctored video. the committee interviewed 1000+ witnesses it says but only about 200 transcripts have been released. second, the january 6th committee worked with the regime and needy, the "new york times", "washington post", and msnb

including matt gaetz and george santos which you don't vote along with very often, exiting that to people>> the president did a remarkable job under the circumstances. i waited until it was clear that it was going to pass. so i didn't do this to undermine the work he's done. i had a bill that i was very involved in and much of the discussions the last two weeks that would've raised it with a clean that increase with none of these other things. i needed five republicans to do that. i did not have five that i could be sure of, but i felt that we could get that. that is not a criticism of president and the leadership. they did a great job. i voted at the very end as my own little protest. as vice chair of the rules committee for the last four years, i believe in rules. they went around the rules to create this crisis. secondarily, the clear hypocrisy of the maga republicans. 97% of our deficit right now was caused by tax cuts and trump tax cuts. the republican party from working people and giving it to the most obscenely wealthy people in the world. kristen: thank you for explaining your boa

gaetz in his round of questioning determine earlier. how about we get the fbi out of the business altogether? >> that was representative jim jordan. he says that the fbi maybe exceeding its authoritarian collecting data on americans in unknown amounts. what is your response to that, george? >> first of all, again, the fbi doesn't collect the data on americans. representative jordan is incorrect and styling it in that fashion. nsa, the national security agency, is the principal agency involved in implementing the 702 program. the fbi can nominate a much smaller percentage of what is in the database as targets, based on its own investigations and so on. but the data is stored and collected by the national security agency. the fbi actually only gets access to a very small part of that data. 3.2%, according to the latest statistical or port, which was issued by the national intelligence about three weeks ago at the end of april. so it is a large surveillance program. there are 246,000-plus foreign targets. but the fbi getting exist to 3.2%

11 conservative lawmakers, most of them members of the freedom caucus, including -- as well as matt gaetz, the congressman from florida. these are all conservativerable rousers. these are individuals who have -- conservative rabblerousers. these are individuals who have been at odds with kevin mccarthy. many of them opposed mccarthy for speaker. leadership in this case was blind-sided when 11 of these individuals joined hands with democrats and blocked a procedural vote, a vote on a rule on the floor, took everybody by surprise, including myself and many other long-time congressional watchers and reporters. this has not happened since 2002. so more than 20 years ago that a rule had not been taken down on the floor and blocked. basically blocked these four it froze the house floor. we have been in a stalemate for the past two days now. nothing has moved, as kevin mccarthy has tried to negotiate, tried to break an impasse with these conservative rebels. and it is a very peculiar situation because republicans are in the majority but it is members of that majority, just a handful, that have g

i'm talking people like matt gaetz, jim jordan. guys are aligned and on trump well, they are aligned with qanon. they do not stand for any policies. there policy is to destroy the department of justice, fbi. they see faults everywhere else and fault lies in the person they grand eyes and hold with so much lori and that is -- with so much glory and that is donald trump. a man convicted of rape and letting him be in charge for the main focus of united states. it is a shame. there policy is to stop everything, destroy everything. they stand for nothing. just another gang. that is all i had to say. host: the president was held liable for sexual abuse, not rape. guest: not getting into too much detail, the election of donald trump caught a lot of people by surprise. a developed in industry in typical science, how did this happen? who is supporting him? because he was an outsider. he was unconventional conservative. at the same time during his presidency we saw the rise of these groups like yunnan, the proud boys -- june on -- qanon, the

but see gaetz, raising homes and businesses off the water and not building on the water anymore, whichs a controversial issue in the u.s.. but the flood insurance program has given people the security to think they can build anywhere. we keep having to rebuild and at some point that has to stop. alix: let's get to the facts on the ground. brian, you are the weather guy. in boston, the air quality is better. when is this is going to get better here? brian: the best guess is monday and tuesday when things will move off. until then, new york is going to be in the path and so is pennsylvania, the great lakes. depending on the change, the way the wind is blowing, those places can get hit. guy: the real question is has this become a regular occurrence? that will change behavior. you talked about how your parents will be indoors and turning the air conditioning on. does it have air filtration, are we going to need to retrofit buildings so they do have that kind of system available? what kind of spending is going to come with that? i'm wondering what the long-term effect of this is. it feels l

matt gaetz has a theory. >> it's not what is in your report that is telling, it's the omission and lackof work you did. for the people like the chairman who put trust in you, you let them down and let the country down. you are one of the barriers to the true accountability we need. you didn't investigate the molar team wiping their phones and you won't tell us who gave the orders because you are protecting those people. >> joining us now brett tolman. durham's complaints about the fbi are pretty well known at this point. it seems like he tiptoed around the real issues that would have gotten to the corruption at the heart of this story about what went down. or is that an exaggeration at this point and wishful thinking? >> laura, thanks for having me on. in my 25 years working in the criminal justice system i spent 10 as a federal prosecutor and four as the u.s. attorney. i had my fair share of run-ins with main justice. john durham is a good man. he is hard-working. but i believe absolutely that john durham was hamstrung by the department of justice. i think at every angle that he probab

caller: matt gaetz my personal rep here. i believe he voted against it. i am pretty sure he did. i am kind of proud of him. i might have done the same thing. i am not sure. go ahead. host: i am checking for you on the matt gaetz question. he voted against it. caller: good for him. host: do you think the speaker played his cards right here? caller: in the end, yes, i guess. lec got some of the stuff back. we got a little bit of what we wanted. it didn't come down to the speaker but the boat --vote. host: do you think that republicans that opposed this, there were over 70, many of them freedom caucus members including matt gaetz, do you think now, there are rumblings that they may try to vacate the chair and try to oust speaker kevin mccarthy from his position? caller: no. in that respect, i do think mccarthy -- i am proud for him just for even standing his ground as long as he did, especially with all the threats from jean-pierre and all the rest of them and every democrat politician. the fear mongering was discussing. i am glad on that point because he held his line. i don't thin
