and maria teresa -- msnbc contributor and president and ceo of voto latino.ld have all three of you with us. danielle, i'll start with you. as i noted, the last time republicans ignored the public sentiment, and pursued an impeachment against a democratic president, do you know what happened, the american people hammered them come election season. do you think kevin mccarthy realizes the political risk he is taking here? >> i do, and i also, i disagree with the fact that people aren't calling kevin mccarthy a hostage. he is not a hostage, a hostage is a victim. he is a willing accomplice to the right wing of his party. he wants power, they promised him power, as long as he would do their bidding. and that is what he is going to. and yes, you are right, history doesn't often repeat itself, but it does rhyme. and it rhymes for -- looser. he has a five seat, slim majority. he is not going to hold that, in 2024, and he knows it. and so, he has to try to flex now. but he doesn't have the votes, he doesn't have the base, and everyone knows that he is a jellyfish. b
