because there was also lauren boebert, who, fun fact, is a descendant of the confederate general doinkuslaughter ] who famously slept through the battle of gettysburg [ laughter ] "oh, no. [ light laughter ] boebert put on perhaps the most embarrassing spectacle of her time in congress this week, and that is saying a lot now, here's some quick context the city of washington d.c. passed an updated criminal code a few months ago, but republicans freaked out and painted it as "soft on crime," which it was not and along with many democrats, they trampled on washington d.c.'s right to govern itself by overriding the local government and stepping in to block the law which is obviously unfair and undemocratic now, both houses of congress voted to overturn the d.c. bill and joe biden signed the measure to overturn the d.c. bill. and, as an aside, i have to say, it's [ bleep ] that joe biden thinks he knows what's better for the city of washington d.c. than the people of washington d.c., who actually live there and i know he technically lives there, too, but he lives in the white house. that woul

our children being shot at their schools, i thank god every day that we have people like lauren boeberttead of screaming orange man bad on tiktok, maybe they should come up with some real solutions. >> jimmy: she is right. those orange tiktoks are the worst ones. mike pence has not announced that he is running for president but it was chatted up where i would like you to pay special attention to the event in the back-rim to his right who seemed more interested in his breakfast then in the former vice president. >> wonderful to be with you. i appreciate you coming out. i'm looking forward to what be on their mind. >> you could trace back -- >> my another sun allies in the united states navy and my life has changed a lot since the last time most of us were together. the young pastor said, what do you think we ought to do? the farmer said, wherever. the first time she stretched her arms out. a church in rural indiana. and ran away. the bible got out his notes. strongest military in the history of the world. i have told him things he did not want to hear.

>> marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert, the rest of those far right republicans care about january 6th defendants exactly as much as they care about veterans. we are great photo ops for them, we are great fundraising tools for them. but i know from walking around capitol hill for years and trying to talk to republicans about improving veterans health care that they will not get involved in anything meaningful like criminal justice reform. they're going there. they're going to send out a bunch of e-mails. they're going to get a bunch of donations, and those people are going to still sit in prison because they broke the law. that's where they belong, and they are being treated with due process the way that anybody else who breaks the law is going to get treated. so, you know, i am disappointed to see them do that, but these people disappoint me every day, so it's not a surprise. >> as they said, they believe the civil rights of these defendants are being infringed upon. thank you very much for joining us. do we have vaughn hillyard back with us? >>> let's move on to the other breakin

as think tank, and they are a 501c3 republicans like mat gates and marjorie taylo greene and lauren boebert th last year they went out an bought nine properties in very expensive neighborhood an they are developing kind of an enclave where it looks lik they're going to have an academy, a cpi academy, trai the next generation of conservatives. they've really just put a huge footprint on capitol hill. i can't think of any nonprofit anywhere, that has assembled this kind of acreage so quickl and at this price you know like, the heritage foundatio has quite a portfolio of properties itself, but it' been around since, i believe the early 70s, so they've had long time to evolve. this is a burst of activity an i think that, you know, give mark meadows association wit trump and everything that went on and january six and sort of question the election, i think that it creates a certain leve of unease for folks. >> to that point, paul, yo quote a capitol hill residen and tour guide as saying, quote, so you don't respect how w administer our city, and the you secretly buy up chunks o it if it's such a

lauren boebert, these. guys they speak for the republican party.believe that there are these never trumpers. or these moderate conservatives still out there. we want to believe larry herbert or mitch ronnie still represent some segment of the population. but they. don't we know they. don't look at the polling and where trump stands and what desantis is. doing the reality, as he was the biggest rival rivalries on a? trump it is someone as authoritarian as he is. while desantis is just less crazy than he. is >> let's get to the. book bring that into the conversation. when every argument, the art of debating in persuading and public speaking. cpac was a who's who of election denialism. we live in a, time, mehdi where disinformation is abundant and lies our past office truths. even when, proven by the, way to realize. how do you win arguments against that? sane logic goes right out the window. does it take more than just having facts and truth in your arsenal now? >> 100%. in the book i have the chapter called a roll of. three i say we think should be

now, congresswoman and magician lauren boebert tweeted america only has one national anthem.alone. america's foremost santa claus jenologist megyn kelly said this on her radio show. >> there is no reason to have a black national anthem sung before the super bowl. but there's one national anthem, it unites us all. >> oh, that woman is amazing. i mean, i wish that she was as smart as beautiful as she is. can you imagine that song "lift every voice and sing" is 123 years old. it was written to commemorate the birth date of our 16th president abraham lincoln. i mean, the fact that people want to feel divided by such sentiment and such lyrics, it tells you that there are some people in the country, in the world that i guess there's nothing that will ever truly make them happy until america is no longer the home of the free and the brave. >> wow, that is -- i mean, i'm about to give an equally amazing speech. i mean, if i could agree with megyn kelly here and push back a little bit, i think megyn kelly is right. in the melting pot we call america, any celebration of one group is an

she had, how could anyone look at maggie's record, three lost elections in a row, january 6th, lauren boebert that this is the future >> well, frankly, it would b very nice if they kept teachin the same thing over and over again. it's really sort of the school for dropouts and for failures. so sure, send them all in, let more people take their wonderful course curriculum. but it also does speak to what eugene was just saying why are they trainin congressional staff? it's one thing to train people in a movement, but when you ar training members of on political party's congressiona staff, that sounds like it's partisan activity. so, you know, when trump was i charge, the irs had no trouble investigating all kinds of progressive groups i'm not sure that this irs i going to look into, it perhaps someone should make a complain and have them take a look at what activities they are reall doing and see if they are ta exempt or not. >> you know, this irs line makes me wonder. is this basically just laundering extremist-ism a establishment. that's what this is, isn't it? >> i guess i'm not quite sure e

representative matt gates, lauren boebert, j.d.port. it didn't stop there are kevin mccarthy, the speaker of the house could have opted t sit this one out he could've opted to pick middle path. he could've voiced measure skepticism about the manhattan da's investigation he could've said he'd be looking into it himself. or that he'd be keeping an eye on it. instead, he fired off a -- tweet of his own indicating that he'd b directing all the relevant house committees to investigat the investigators. calling it a quote outrageou abuse of power by a radical da of course, jim jordan tweete his support soon after mccarth saying god bless president trump. real america knows this is all a sham also yesterday afternoon senator lindsey graham spoke a the national conservativ forum. what seems to be the party strategic spin of this possibl indictment saying that it woul help to get trump elected an that the manhattan da's making stuff up because they hate trump. then, of course, there is th former vice president. mike pence in an interview wi

lauren boebert, rick scott in the senate, have called for the president to come down and negotiate with and senator scott. white house is loving this. they'd rather use them as a foil than kevin mccarthy. they've been blasting out press releases about the extreme positions. it's been great politics for the white house. it is not great policy so far. america was hurdling to this deadline. it'll be a big story. >> the white house trying to make the freedom caucus the face of this. the emails come every few minutes. you mentioned bank failures. there's a real sense of unease it feels like, that there could be more. what are lawmakers and the administration doing to try to ensure that doesn't happen? >> this is almost an undercurrent of everything. the big news yesterday in washington was the federal reserve taking the steps it did to continue raising interest rates to combat inflation. that's led to more incertainty in the markets. an undercurrent for a lot of what is happening on the hill is uncertainty. when will we see a decrease in interest rates? the bank crises, one more thing to thr

release of political prisoner, i would love it if marjorie taylor greene and chairman comer and lauren boeberta right now for his stand against the corruption of the russian government. will they call for the release of a real political prisoner, mr. navalny? i challenge them to do that while calling for the release of many of these people already convicted of violently assaulting our officers. >> i think we know whether they're going to defy putin and call for navalny's release but i sincerely appreciate, a, the invocation of navalny's name and the work he has done to try to bring justice and transparency to russia and also, b, the invitation for republicans to do the right thing. always good to see you. thanks so much for your time tonight. >>> when we come back, explosive new reporting about how kyrsten sinema actually feels about the party she left behind and what democrats are prepared to do about her. >>> how did masterpieces of art lead to the firing of a school principal? the answer is, isn't it always, florida. we'll explain coming up next. ♪breeze driftin' on by...♪ ♪...you know how

here's lauren boebert complaining about big government in the dumbest way possible. >> the federal governmenttoo big. the only three letters our founding fathers ever thought were necessary are "usa." >> stephone: that's a hell of an excuse for not learning the rest of the alphabet. "the founding fathers wanted us to be number one! socialists want you to believe there are bigger numbers like... five-teen and thruple." no gathering of republicans woulpl some good down home red-meat pandering. take it away, john-not-that-john kennedy-kennedy. >> what else is the truth? the truth is that god is great, beer is good, and the united states of america is star spangled awesome. >> stephen: did he write his speech with magnetic poetry? "eagles are patriots! guns are men. trucks are dad. jesus is football. amen, hike!" one g.o.p. contender notably absent from cpac was florida governor desantis. desantis recently 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 "menst

representative mike lawler, the fort myers retailer green, they've heard of matt, gates effort of lauren boebertuy, who represents a biden one district, knows that he's got one path to reelection, and that, is you've got to raise a whole bunch of money from donors, like he was, i've gotta vote more or less the way those voters want you to vote. it was 94% of the time for marjorie taylor greene. and, three this is the tricky, part you've gotta convince your constituents, we are not one of the bad guys in congress. and so that means keeping your constituents in the dark. trying to not say that you vote 94% of the time with marjorie taylor greene. and the good news this, sunlight is the best disinfectant, and produces base in that 17 congressional district, if they want to show up and say hey, you gotta represent us, don't start with my detailing. and the side, we are able to help limit the harm from this member of congress. >> sometimes we can get them to go on the record, sometimes they're gonna vote against us. so it's gonna depend on constituents in those districts, to hold them accountable, an

>> kari lake at the ronald reagan dinner, and lauren boebert. >> always steve bannon.brilliant, my favorite information person. >> i'm really excited to see senator cruz. >> most excited to see ben carson. >> i'm pretty excited about seeing donald trump jr., but this weekend i'm really excited to actually see donald trump. >> the conservative political action conference known as cpa has for decades been one of the biggest conservative gatherings in u.s. politics. and this year it is incredibly trump centric and it shows what a strange position the republican party finds itself in ahead of the 2024 presidential election. >> i am a trump supporter because he's a warrior. he's the only one that can pull this through. >> reporter: was there anyone you were disappointed that wasn't going to be speaking here this week? >> my understanding is governor desantis is not coming. that was disappointing. he was one of the bright spots for the republican party during the midterms, not only won reelection, he won big, beating a former governor. >> reporter: while trump may be the mai

republican congresswoman lauren boebert, the thing that helped launch her into politics was her ownershipenly. jeff charlotte visited shooters before it closed last year for his new book. a chapter is excerpted in a new "vanity fair" article. how will i know when things are going down the hole? you see the people, the instigators. when i say it's going down the hole fast, i'm talking about those of us who have less tolerance for the instigators. some will resort to, let's just say, other methods. jeff charlotte, author of that fantastic new book joins me now. jeff, this book, which is a remarkable piece of work, i'm working my way through it. one of the central themes is the obsession with violence, this kind of apocalyptic waiting for violence, and the view of guns not in the context of sports certainly, and not even in the context of really i need to protect my own home, but explicitly as arming oneself for a violent struggle to come. >> yeah. i've been reporting on right-wing movements in the united states for 20 years. and traveling back and forth across the country since january 6th,

under our constitutional right, we will support donald trump and protest the tyrant lauren boebert, weaponizationgraham on the way to the d.a.'s office on tuesday, trump should smash some windows, rob a few cops and he would be arrested immediately. your thoughts. >> thank you for having me if you'r you were to ask what m colleagues have done, they would charge us with some form of obstruction or other form of legal activity, but my colleagues in congress think somehow that donald trump is above the law. and clearly, all of us as members of congress, we take an oath that oath says that we swear allegiance to the constitution of the united states of america. part of that constitution is the separation of powers and so here we have the legislative body deciding that now we are all powerful and that we can go and attack a district attorney who is doing his job in the state of new york, in the city of new york, and all of a sudden because an admitted person who had a relationship with a woman but he paid for the relationship in the wrong way. so he's admitted it. so i don't understand what my colleag

. >> republican colorado representative lauren boebert addressed the conference friday as did kari lake, who repeated familiar false claims about election fraud. here she is. >> they stole an election in broad daylight. right front of us. and then they dared us to do something about it. they dared us to do something. >> we had just begun winning. we took back the house and i'm excited about our slim majority, because that gave us leverage to actually do something. leverage to govern as we campaign rather than looking at that "r" next to our name and thinking it stands for "rollover." >> and it's not just american conservatives at cpac. brazil's former president also spoke at the conference on saturday. jaer bolsonaro made comments that cast doubt on the lerks that he lost. he also told the crowd that he sees as leading brazil as a calling for him and he believes his job isn't yet complete. here he is. >> translator: and also for the mission of being the president of brazil for one term. but i feel deep inside that this mission is not over. >> saturday was the final day of the conference

this is a several day long conference, and lauren boebert, the congress woman out of colorado, is justleaving the stage. she was preceded by the likes of jair bolsanaro, the former brazilian president who left brazil after losing his election. he has not conceded that race. instead, he is essentially here in self imposed exile. brazil, though, intends to go back. he was followed by the likes of mike lindell, who is not only propagated the idea that america's election was stolen from donald trump, but also, that bolsonaro's election was stolen. but donald trump will be the one to cap it off here today. this is a very pro trump crowd. there are questions as to whether there would be some defections among these very maga base grassroots supporters, yasmin. yet, from the folks we've talked to, we've been hearing trump, trump, trump. take a listen to a few. >> who do you got in 2024? >> 2024? kind of wait and see. >> wait and see. you're not a definite trump? >> he's polarizing. but i like that the prices people off. >> you like that donald trump misses people off. >> oh, yeah. >> what do y

[ cheers and applause ] thank you so much for your work. really. by the way, we already have a national gun, "top gun." [ cheers and applause ] if you're going to have one, that should be it. this is the kind of thing congress needs to act on. have you heard of the kool-aid man challenge? tik tokkers are now running through walls like the kool-aid man. [ laughter ] >> security video captured the vandalism. teens breaking through pvc fencing while recording it. it's called "the kool-aid man challenge." modeled after popular commercials from the '70s and '80s. homeowner charles ran out to see this. several sections of his fence missing. when he looked at his security video, he watched teens break right through the fence. >> jimmy: you know what they say.

determined it was thos five members are pogo starting marjorie taylor greene and mat gates and lauren boeberthe reality is, the doj came out this week and said they ar giving d.c. federal court ahea up, a heads up, that there are more than 1000 additiona people who could still fac charges in connection with the jansing to tax and then you have the jack mitt special counsel investigation into president trump's role in january 6th. and who knows? that could and in criminal charges. and yet when you ask republicans about january six, you either go, you either ge let go let god, from grassley, who was very much in harm's way, jim risch, senator from ohio said i don't do interviews o the january six, sorry, idaho, but thanks they have no line. they just don't want to talk about it it is not going away. how does the party ultimatel formulate its response to this in a way that is not a lie >> i wish that they were jus trying to let it go away but they're trying to bring it back up, and that's my biggest problem. it wasn't even a cleve argument that tucker carlson made we have heard this from some co

congress jamie raskin also went on a tear this week after his colleague, lauren boebert, used a warning of noxious republican variable tech favored by donald trump. >> the gentlelady was making a grammatical error that i heard some of her colleagues make before. i believe she referred to a democrat solution. i had another member talk about a democrat member and democrat plan. i just wanted to educate urged english colleagues. that democrat is the noun, when you use it is an adjective you say the democratic member. or the democratic solution. or the democratic plan. and so i assume it's a good faith grammatical error the first few times, but after people are corrected several times and they continue to say it, it seems like it's an active incivility. as if every time we mentioned the other party it just came out with a kind of political speech impediment like oh, the banana republican party, as if we were to say that every time we mentioned the ban banana republican member or the banana republican plan or the banana republican conference. but we wouldn't do that. >> you can kind of tell

from the republican party's most vocal members, including marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, lauren boebertley, mike pompeo as well. arizona's kari lake is going to speak at the conference, ronald reagan dinner keynote speaker tonight, those ahead of donald trump with high stakes for his 2024 campaign as his party, and even some of his own former supporters appear divided on a second term for him. joining me now from national harbor is nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard. good to talk to you. take us inside. what have you been seeing for us so far today? >> yeah, kari lake is going to be the featured speaker here later tonight. i just saw her in the hallway here, gave her a head nod. she declined to come over and chat, yet over the last 36 hours, i have had the opportunity to talk to a great number of conservatives here at cpac, and we should note this is a trump loyal crowd as you'll see in this video, and when you're looking at the video of the stage, there's a lot more happening beyond those lights, take a look. >> we are at the 2023 cpac, yes. >> reporter: this place, cpac, used to b

congresswoman lauren boebert for example yelled at a bunch of former twitter executives about why hert had been censored. now, i would like you to watch this clip and try to decide whether you're watching an actual adult at an actual congressional hearing, or a high school sophomore yelling at a friend in the hallway after class. >> did either of you approve the shadow banning of my account @laurenboebert? [ light laughter ] yes or no? >> no, i did not. >> not to the best of my recollection. >> i'll ask again, did you shadow ban my account? [ light laughter ] yes or no? >> again, not to the best of my recollection. >> but the answer is, mr. roth, yes, you did. i found out last night from twitter staff that you suppressed my account for this tweet. it's a freaking joke! [ laughter ] about hillary clinton being angry that she couldn't rig her election. it's a joke. but in response, being the sinister overlords that you all are, you placed a 90-day account filter so i could not be found. you silenced me from communicating with the american people over a freaking joke. now, who the hell d

reportedly told republican lawmakers to be on their best behavior "fine, i'll put the safety on," said lauren boebertoom ceo eric yuan yesterday announced plans to cut staff and said he will reduce his own salary by 98%, making him the only person who can legitimately claim that the vaccine made his life worse [ laughter ] and finally, according to a new study, 18% of americans use a sleep medication, where as the others prefer to fall asleep the traditional way, reliving every awkward moment of their lives. and that was the monologue, everybody. we're off and running.

[ cheers and applause ] plus we'll have music from talented singer/songwriter regina spektor we're so happy when she is here. [ cheers and applause ] but

the republicans there, marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert, the whole crew, treated them like celebrities. they were interacting with them, putting them on the back. they were taking notes. it was completely shameful to see. these are people that tried to overthrow our government. they're being treated like rock stars and heroes by marjorie and others. >> apparently margin doesn't think they try to overthrow the government. let me ask you, she put out a tweet today, in which she accused you of not knowing the long history of outrage in washington d.c. about jail conditions and treatment. she claimed that you and congresswoman car grit, the two democrats on this tour, don't care about the defendant's complaint. how do you respond to her? >> i have been to other prisons, but back in my home district. the conditions that a lot of black and brown folks across this country, are nothing like the conditions that the d.c. inmates are in. they're being treated fairly. i talk to the medical director, they have 24-hour access to medical care. if marjorie taylor greene and others want to have an actu

on that basis alone, that's sufficient for matt gaetz, lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene to trynational security. it's essential for u.s. security. if we don't do enough there, the u.s. gets dragged in. they could care less. >> i say this as an ex-republican. if a democrat did this, republicans would never let it go. what is the importance of making sure people know that china is writing matt gaetz's talking points? it shows the ignorance that he didn't screen out a propaganda source and use that as his basis to try to cast doubt or cast a shadow over support to ukraine. even if u.s. support was going to -- they have been integrated into the administrative defense of ukraine. it's not the same organization it was prior to 2014, 2015 when it was a far right threat to the stability of ukraine. now it's been heroic in the defense of mariupol and other places. it's meaningless. there are more dangerous groups in russia that are actively participating in this war that are acolytes of nazi beliefs and ideology. that's where we should focus on. that's the fascist state russia has becom

is the great setup, january -- what you're seeing tucker do and what marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebertu pick the clowns in the clown car and go from there. they're all doing the same thing. they're setting up the next part of the narrative. whether it is around donald trump's potential indictment. whether it's around some other thing that they deem as appropriate catalyst to perpetuate the violence. and to further foment the noise that somehow they're the victims, that somehow, those 1,000 people who have been arrested and charged and have been -- many of whom have now been prosecuted and are in jail, that somehow their violence, their behavior, was okay. and that's -- that needs to be protected, because they were doing the right thing. and to those of us who look at that bad behavior want to call it what it is, and hold them accountable for it, that we're wrong. it's twisting of the narrative around january 6th has been an ongoing effort, now culminating in the absolute, i think, disgraceful attempt by the speaker toe ingratiate himself with the likes of fox news and tucker, on behalf

lauren boebert and then gary lake.sidential candidates, nikki haley as well as swami and former secretary of state mike pompeo. micah. >> vaughan, really quickly, what about the attendance? i had some people sending pictures with some sessions with a lot of empty chairs. looked like, by the time you were interviewing, looked fairly crowded. were there more empty seats there than usual? >> reporter: right. out in the halls, you know, there's a pretty good crowd that is out there, you know, trying to shake the hands of don jr. or kimberly or mike lindell. it was more of a sparse crowd. we expect the friday and saturday to pick up here. it is definitely notable. one year ago, i was down in florida when they were holding cpac last year. at the time then, there was still more consolidation of support around the likes of donald trump. you had even senator josh hawley in attendance. not here, of course, allegation against matt schlapp has made it easier for some to stay away. but this is kind of a dividing line now of power s

the faces of the republican party right now are marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert.uy who has taken lying to a new art form in politics. and donald trump. i mean, these are not winning faces for the republican party. you know, this thing about them coming after bragg, you know, the hypocrisy of this republican leadership group in the house is so stunning. first, i want to talk about fiscal conservative. you and i talked many times about what a lie that is, as far as they're concerned. they talk about federalism. you should leave local government alone. most americans don't understand the bright line that divides local prosecutors from federal prosecutors. local prosecutors are elected by people in their communities to enforce state law. by the way, they do most of the crime fighting in america. they do about 90% of the prosecutions. the only thing congress can do to bragg, the only thing they can do is cut off any federal funding they get for special projects. we had federal money for helping victims of crime. we had some federal money for community police officers.
