here's what marjorie taylor greene is actually saying. activists are just so happens to be blessed to have emigrated to our great country and he should be thankful for american freedoms. like our second amendment, instead of trying to destroy them, if he doesn't like it, he can go back. are you at all surprised by this statement, mariana? what is your reaction? >> i am incredibly disappointed that a member of congress is treating young americans this way. i'm also mexican american. my mom is a mexican immigrants. and that was very difficult for both santiago and i to have someone attack our right to be here, and for santiago, it was something very difficult because he's out here fighting for young voters with the rest of the voters of tomorrow team. and we are trying to get young people representation in congress, we're trying to get young people represented at every level of government, and marjorie taylor greene doesn't believe that that should be happening. >> what did you want folks here -- what did you want her to hear? what did you

marjorie taylor greene however is. she joins us. congresswoman, thanks too coming on. selling off assets to china to a company that his son was invested in. why is no one saying anything about this? >> i'm not sure, tucker. i think it's absolutely outrageous. so do the american people. the one role most important for the president of the united states is to protect our country's national security. our strategic petroleum reserves are just that. our national security, when it comes to oil, the very important resource that we have that fuels our economy, helps us drive our cars, and petroleum also feeds over 6,000 products, things americans rely on every single day. but joe biden has been selling off a million barrels of oil every single day. we're down to 434 million barrels of oil. america consumes around 19 million barrels of oil a day. we cannot sustain this. it is putting us in danger. by our tracking he's sold over 7 million barrels of oil to china. china. our number one threat that wants to conquer us, wants to become the number one superpower in the world. becaus

they hate marjorie taylor greene.if you ask them to contribute, they would be like, i don't care about that. i care about trying to beat marjorie taylor greene and i know it's a long shot, but why not. >> that's exactly this sort of on voters we're speaking to today. you have a lot of of people who want to see mtg out of office. she's not going to lose in her congressional district, but if democrats keep the house, she's not going to become a subcommittee chairperson either. for people who dislike her, dollars spent in abigail's race or a host of under the radar races this due to redistrict rg competitive because they are swing seats or the lines have been drawn so differently this cycle, there's now a new opportunity in those seats. those are the places that democratic majority, that path runs through these seats. it doesn't run through georgia in the situation where north georgia flips democratic. we're going to have a 400-vote majority in congress. and at that point, i think a lot of other things would have to go i

but it's not a marjorie taylor greene district. >> i guess we'll find, out it's not that lopsided. we will find out of marjorie taylor greene candidate can win in a district like that. if it does, it pretend something i think pretty alarming for what the next congress is gonna look like. >> what was your sense of the state of the race being there? >> it's obviously hard to say. there is a huge amount of enthusiasm for -- i want to one of her campaign events at a brewery. we're not only where the prairie path, but there were as an overflow crowd outside listing through the windows. jamie herrera beutler's biggest -- is now supporting what perez. so i think everyone feels like she is an underdog with people do feel like with the right support she has a shot. >> one of the big questions here is about -- we always talk about it is a -- trump party -- but, you see, it 20, 20, five 30% of republicans, somewhere there, did not support the coup, which donald trump would go away. butler was the kind of -- there must be some of those voters and my district. right? >> it was a pretty narrow lo

a republican district, but it's not a major taylor greene district. >> well we'll find, out i guess. it's not that lopsided. but we will find out if a marjorie candidate can win in a district like that. and if it, does it pretend something i think pretty alarming for the next congress is gonna look like. >> what was your sense of the state of the race being there? >> you know, it's obviously hard to say. i would say that there's a huge amount of enthusiasm for -- perez, and i went to one of our campaign events at a brewery. where not only what the brewery pact, but there was an overflow crowd outside. listening to the windows. jamie herrera beutler's biggest bundlers, now supporting marie perez, so i think you know. everything feels like she is an underdog, but people do feel like with the right support, she has a shot. >> one of the big questions here, is about, we always talk about how it's a model party, trump's party. that's true. right? >> but, again we see it time and time, 20, 25, 30% of republicans some are there. didn't support the coup, would wish donald trump would go away. herrera butler was kind of the person that represented th

marjorie taylor greene is there and she said on camera that she believes that hillary clinton had somethingdo with jfk junior dying, calling it a clinton murder says, the las vegas mass murder that killed 60 people might be in a false flag operation. these are fringe people, and kevin mccarthy gives these fringe ideas his stamp of approval it's then going to be not just a fringe republican idea, it'll be mainstream republican idea if he gives it that approval. it's a dangerous game to play. >> aisha, to jason's point, it's a dangerous game to play. it's one thing to be in the minority and spread these dangerous lies but these people will have a major influence on policy. they will have a major influence on the functioning of our government. budgetary control to oversight to being able to investigate and it's just absolutely a scary moment to think that these not jobs will have this type of authority if in fact they retake the house? >> a man. thank you for calling them what they are. their complete crazies, they are not jobs. and all of this is so asinine. the fact that we would even be hav

i always say this, marjorie taylor greene, imagine 20 or 30 marjorie taylor greenes as secretaries of state all over this country overse seeing the vote next year. that's what we're looking at potentially. >> how valuable of a foil is the name not on the ballot, the former president donald trump for democrats because we heard the president invoke him today and talked about him in philadelphia a couple weeks ago but polls show he's more favorable now than they did several months ago. >> you know, here is the thing. donald trump is always going to haunt this party unless someone figures out how to either arrest or hold accountability legally donald trump for all the things that he has done and that means he's going to be someone that animates the base, both bases at this point. it is useful for president biden and democrats to remind us where you come from and remind us the consequence in this election of going backwards to what it looked like when donald trump was in the white house. i think lifting that up is really a way to get people animated and engaged in participating in the elec

i mean -- she talked about marjorie taylor green and the republicans and extremism. i don't think the democrats will be able to turn it into a referendum from back bencher from georgia very few have heard of, it's about the president, his policies, about his failures and that's why republicans are favorites to win the house at least in six or so weeks. >> john: you know, abc news washington post poll has some interesting insight in terms of who leads on the various issues. economy, republicans are way ahead. same thing with inflation, democrats are leading on abortion, crime, republicans way out in front. it's close on education in schools. climate change goes to the democrats. immigration is pretty much neck and neck. so guy, when you take a look at it, it looks like it's advantage republicans when you think about what's important to voters. >> sure, and there are people who care about any one or all of the above when we looked at all the issues. but poll after poll after poll, when the american people are asked what is the number one issue or top three issue for yo

they shut up marjorie taylor greene.nald trump today, whose life seems steadily on course for a much worse days and much more silence from his lambs, as the evidence continues to mount against him. joining us now is claire mccaskill, former democratic senator of missouri. and indeed log, chair of the african american studies at princeton university, and host of the podcast history of us. they are both msnbc political analysis. and clare, i know you've been thinking about. this i do not presume, to frame a question to you, i just want to say go. what's on your mind? >> okay, first of all, last night, you are amazing. you said everything that needed to be said about lindsey graham. and it was done with facts and the right amount of passion. so, kudos to you for your show last night. i think the other thing that is going on, lawrence, is worth mentioning here, is that these candidates are running in tough elections are taking trump off their website. in nevada, the republican candidate for the u.s. senate scrubbed the endor

and marjorie taylor green's website, she's selling defund the f.b.i. t-shirts. so it is my friends on the other side of the aisle who want to defund law enforcement. who want to defund the police. you know, there's an old saying, physician, heel thyself. you taught to take that to heart. the bottom line is these are bills in a will help improve safety in our communities. these are bills in a local officials, local law enforcement organizations want. the only people who don't want them are my friends on the other side of the aisle. . i suspect some on your side understand what your communities want. they don't want politics as usual. they don't want people putting politics over people what they want is help for their communities. so you have a chance. you can either vote yes to help the communities or vote no. but that is my -- that is your choice. and again, madam speaker, i think these bills are good bills. we should support the rule. we should support the underlying bill. i reserve my time. some members reminded to direct their comments to the chair and not to

is about who is the most extreme, as we saw, you know, kevin mccarthy touch on there with marjorie taylor greene they are going to win. if it is a referendum on the president, they will lose, and they know that. >> i mean, guy, they know that joe biden is basically the anchor around the neck of the democrat party >> that's his former chief spokeswoman saying that. right? by the the way, you mentioned the mark kelly sound bite out in arizona. more recently he was asked another really tough question by a news reporter out there, do you think joe biden's doing a good job? and mark kelly sat there for like 10 seconds trying to figure out what to say about that. it is not a real stumper, at least it shouldn't be. have something ready. on that sound bite that we just heard from psaki, i think that she probably knows deep down that she's dreaming if she feels like this might be either a referendum on the president of the united states, in which case they lose, or a referendum on marjorie taylor greene who most americans have never heard of? she's not my cup of tea. i'm very open about that. but they sa

he was kind of akin to say an aoc or a margaret marjorie taylor green strictly in the sense that he wasn't ever in the seat of power. he was always kind of on the margins but drew a lot of media attention because he was would make statements and do it in a way that draw drew a lot of attention, but that wasn't necessarily the way politicians normally spoke and that i ended up carrying him to the presidency much like donald trump and and his style of how rare it was and there was one incident in particular where i believe i had express the view that harvard fascist sentiments and he made a very crude reference to my being gay on twitter and it caused a whole ruckus and so we've always had an adversarial relationship. my husband is part of an opposition party to bolsonaro and they've had their clashes with with my husband as with him and his sons all of whom are elected officials, but what really escalated it was in 2019 on mother's day. i was contacted by a woman named manuel. adavola, who was the vice presidential nominee that ran against bolsonaro in 2018 she lost and she had told me that

the election is about who's the most extreme, as we saw kevin mccarthy touch on there with marjorie taylor greene, i'll say her name, sitting on his left side, if it's a referendum on the president, they will lose, and they know that. >> as democrats reel from all the bad news, there's more, a top pollter predicts that the gop midterm turnout will exceed all expectations. >> this year our fear people won't be polled that are trump supporters because of what biden has said, apparent attacks, people coming after them. there's a hesitancy to participate. everybody w will underexpect th. >> thank you for joining us. i bet you have a book, don't you? his name is robert trafalgar. he's talking about something like the subverged vote, because it's relentless smearing of trump voters is pushing them further underground, which means we have no idea what the outcome will be it, which was the same to brexit, trump, and probably the italian prime minister. do you believe this? >> it comes down to the issues. we see it in every election. whatever the issues are most important to the country, that's the party

the election is about who is the most extreme as we saw kevin mccarthy touch on there with marjorie taylor green then they'll win. if it is a referendum on the president they'll lose. they know that. >> the president is expected to speak about the economy today. he has an event later in the afternoon focused on increasing competition in the marketplace. you can imagine what the issues will come down to on the final stretch. >> bill: nice to see you mark meredith from the white house. >> brand-new poll over the weekend showing crime is now surpassing abortion among top concerns as the mid-terms inch closer. we have laura engel with more. >> candidates are keeping a close eye on the issues that may swing voters to cast ballots in their favor. the new poll released sunday by abc and "washington post" shows crime is definitely becoming more and more important closer to november 8th. every day brings a new list of crimes in major cities including in new york where police are on the lookout for this man who is accused of slashing a 30-year-old woman in the face as she waited on a brooklyn subway platf

look at marjorie taylor greene -- >> in my idealized version of what prosecutors should do, neither of those -- >> i am often uncomfortable watching your interviews because it comes off as overtly political, but go on. >> i just want to say a word in defence of laetitia james. the first is that the merits are here, and this is even stronger than a typical civil case. she has a fifth amendment indications by donald trump and his executives, which means she can draw inference. our elected prosecutors, it's not like attorney general garland, not like federal prosecutors, it's a different system. they are directly responsive to the people, and when i -- would i have advised her to use those exact words, maybe not. but what i hear her saying is where tim started, that you have an individual who has behaved would extraordinary impunity for the law, and things that he did over and over again would have gotten almost anyone else in america investigated and possibly prosecuted. he got a pass for all those years. she is speaking to the justifiable anger at that pattern of conduct, maybe not the

kevin mccarthy did, the republican caucus behind him, plenty of disagreement on the margins of marjorie taylor greenderate republicans but united on this message, nothing extreme about that unity. i hope oversight and accountability as part of that because plenty of investigations should they get the majority and contrast with biden, talking in front of the and ea, this is the teachers union, he almost said nothing about education which tells you what you need to know about teachers unions, they are political organizations, that is it. he's talking about abortion, want to talk about extreme? abortion on demand all the way to the point of birth is what they stand for, keep asking democrats about that. it is projection. they know especially the left wing of their family is very extreme, a battle over definitions at least the branding. rachel: thought media is 100% behind them. pete: what we see after the red scare speech is the drumbeat of the theme of that speech. if you want it distilled into one to one moment, the speech when he says extremism is the greatest threat to our democracy, amaga republic

posted this picture of him, some have also followed suit called babbitt's shooting murder, marjorie taylor greene who considered her death to the killing of george floyd. fox news is amplified this message. tucker carlson said she was shot because she had the quote had the wrong politics. the person in charge of portraying ashli babbitt's a martyr is the ex president himself. earlier this year he attacked the officer who shot her, calling him ruthless. and he called ashli babbitt's mother, while she was attending a. >> it's an honor to be with you and with everybody listening. it's a terrible thing that is happened to a lot of people that have been treated very, very unfairly. we love ashley and it's so horrible what happened to her. that man shot ashley is a disgrace, and then he goes on television and it looks like he was actually bragging about it. there has never been a thing that happened like this in our country, i just want to tell everybody who's listening. we are with you, we are working with a lot of different people on us and we can't let this happen. >> of course this also comes after

republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene of georgia explicitly braced qanon before winning elected. last year, senator richard blumenthal of connecticut made this point in a hearing, with fbi had chris wray, embracing the violent conspiracy theory posing a real threat to the country. >> i would like to ask you whether the threat opposed by qanon and as you all know, adherence of qanon were among the rioters, very prominently, who stormed the capitol. whether the continuing threat is worse and when prominent officials, including members of congress, endorse the qanon theory. >> certainly, we are concerned about the qanon phenomenon. which we view as a, sort of, loose, conspiracy theory set, and we've certainly seen domestic extremism of the sort that you are describing. who cite that as part of their motivation. obviously, the folks who engage in this kind of violence drawn inspiration from a variety of sources, and we are concerned about any stories that stimulates or motivates violent extremism. >> ben collins is a senior reporter for nbc news, where he covers disinformation, extr

of specificity to do with the fact that the party as a whole has such a wide range between marjorie taylor greene few, you know, moderates that still remain trying to get issues that they can all agree on, or is it just that the party under donald trump kind of has eschewed basically big issues completely? >> yeah. well, of course there was no party platform in 2020 for what may have been the first time ever. i mean the party platform is kind of, you know, supporting donald trump. i think all of what you said is part of the reason. i think the bigger reason, though, kim is that republicans want this to be a midterm in the traditional frame, which is essentially about the party in power. i mean, this commitment to america is largely saying whatever you don't like about how the democrats are running things, we're going to make better. you know, we're going to solve inflation. we're going to reduce crime. we're going to get a better handle on the border. in fact, americans are dissatisfied with the democratic performance on all of those fronts. but, of course, they don't really say how they would ma

>> i think democrats if the election is about who is themost extreme we saw kevin mccarthy marjorie taylor-greenwill say her name sitting on the left side. if it is referendum on the president they will lose and they know that. stuart: if it's a referendum on the president the democrats will lose. what happened? her boss used to be joe biden. has she had a falling out? >> i don't know. maybe she just had a moment where the truth serum kicked in there, stuart, but we all know this including everyone in the biden administration knows that the democrats are heading for a big loss. "the new york times" and now "politico" is coming out with all these stories saying polling is once again hyping the democrats chances in all these races and joe biden's popularity is not in the middle 40s, it is in the high 30s. they're heading for a big loss. democrat what is they're trying to do with this semifascism, king maga, ultramaga, at least hold on to their dignity, stuart, not lose in the blue districts especially in the house. they want to hold blue voters. so this is a strategy to not lose so badly. we shoul

there's a new ad from georgia representative-- ( audience booing ) and hold for booing-- marjorie taylor greeneped a pretty strange reelection commercial. ♪ ♪ ♪ man, "thor love and thunder" looks awful. it got even weirder when she opened her mouth: >> we've got skyrocketing inflation, high diesel fuel, and democrats' america-last policy. democrats aren't the only ones destroying farmers' ability to put food on the table. we've got wild hogs destroying farmers' fields. so we decided to go hog hunting. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> stephen: (bleep) you, hog ( laughter ) ( applause ) ♪ ♪ ♪ so, to clarify her argument: democrats are hurting farmers, so she's going to own the libs by shooting feral pigs from a helicopter. this ad is like reading a "mad-lib" somebody filled out on bath salts: "democrats are gutting your rights, and you know what we're gonna gut? fish! register today to win a chance to help me machine gun socialist trout!" ( laughter ) it may seem-- from a helicopter. it may seem like greene's justpl things, but it's all part of the rich tradition of american politics. who can forget ronald reagan's clas
