for months now, republican senator markwayne mullin has been in a feud with the head of the teamsters, because the union president had referred to senator mullin as a greedy ceo. today, the head of that union, sean o'brien, testified before the senate health and labor committee, where senator mullin revisited sean o'brien's invitation to settle their dispute anyplace, anytime, cowboy. >> sir, this is a time, this is a, place you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine, that's perfect. >> you want to do it now? >> i would love to do it now. >> stand up and do it. >> you stand up and do it. >> no, hold on, stop. sit down. no, you're a united states senator, sit down. >> you are a united states senator, sit down. the wheels are coming off here. a chain reaction started by donald trump now has republicans not just ready to bra with democrats, but brawl with each other. just a few hours ago, republicans, under the leadership of speaker mike johnson, could not agree on a way to fund the government. and so, they had to do what they

good for you, markwayne mullin. arrr! arrr! you go ahead. for the republic, you snap into a slim jim. this is real. this is our country. at the end of the day, mullin explained that this is exactly what he was sent to washington to do. >> i mean, what did people want me to do? if i didn't do that, the people of oklahoma would have been pretty upset with me. that's how i was raised and i'm supposed to represent oklahoma values. >> stephen: yes, who can forget the oklahoma state motto. "no mercy! bite his sack!" oohh! klahoma... it's not surprising that violence is a selling point for the republican party. and g.o.p. hopefuls for 2024 in fact are already adopting the strategy. just look at this new republican primary ad. >> it's a tough time in america and we need common sense solutions to real problems. problems like punk ass commerce people whose kidneys need a visit from my elbow. i am patricia corker, known to my enemies as stabbing pat. i spent ten years as a public school teacher and 20 in super max for a crime i pled guilty to because i'

shocking and disturbing exchange today was in the senate hearing between republican senator markwayne mullin of oklahoma and former mma fighter and the president of the teamsters union, sean o'brien. senator bernie sanders was even forced to step in as referee. please watch this. >> if you want to run your mouth, we are two consenting adults, we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine, perfect. >> you want to do it? now >> i would love to do right now. >> you stand up. >> hold on. >> no, no, sit down. you are a united states senator. >> okay, okay. >> sit down, please. >> bernie was not having it. and neither should we. i know it's funny and crazy and we laugh and we roll our eyes at these grown men that are behaving in such a ridiculous way. but it is also deadly serious. and it should be called out for what it is, dangerous. we must demand more of our leaders. and on that note, i wish you a peaceful and a good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late. see you again tomorrow. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tonight on all in. >> reports of, tonight, do i hi

joining us now is oklahoma senator markwayne mullin. senator mullin, thank you, sir. >> hey, larry.ing, since september opec plus has basically taken about 20% of current oil production out of the market and at the same time oil prices have fallen. brent crude has fallen and you know this very well as a oklahoma senator, west texas has fallen and retail gasoline has fallen. >> right. larry: i wonder whether you have any intelligence, any thoughts on what opec is going to do, obviously now we're in the middle of a raging war between israel and hamas and i haven't heard much from the saudis or the opec plus crowd, so what you think? >> keep in mind the reason why the fast prices have dropped because we went from a summer blend to the winter blend which is cheer to make and cheaper to blend. when you start looking at opec, the cartels at opec, they are, they are essentially going to hold americans hostage or basically apply sanctions to the american people over their disgruntled views on israel and the war going on in gaza and this shouldn't be happening, larry. if you look at it right

but yesterday's title match was the near-brawl between oklahoma senator markwayne mullin and the head of the teamsters, sean o'brien, right over there. mullin is a former mma fighter, and as we reported last night, exclusively on "the late show," he interrupted a senate hearing to challenge the boss of the teamsters to a fight until he was stopped by a surprise cameo. take a look. >> sir, this is a time. this is a place. we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine. perfect. >> you want to do it now? >> i'd love to do it right now. >> stand your butt up. >> stand get your butt up. >> hold on, stop, oh, no. sit down, sit down. you're a united states senator. >> stephen: "you sit down. you sit down. sit down, you two! you, you, you, you. sit, sit, sit, sit. you, you, you. all of you. sit down. sit, sit, sit, sit. no, i'm breaking up this fight like it was a big bank! now let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that i'm the only senator who can be recognized simply by his socialist finger-points! look, i'm a cat. now i'm a dog. i'm a dog. i'm a fox. je suis. je suis un renard. now, pic

this is senator markwayne mullin, again, senator markwayne mullin on newsmax today, sort of making a historical reference as to why it's totally fine to come to blows in the u.s. senate. let us take a listen. >> could you guys go barnacle if you want to do? >> you know the rules, and he smelled the cane. you can remember president henry jackson challenged nine guys to a dual, and won nine times. and a guy one-time, jackson jumped up, ran across the table and knock the guy out. so, at the end of the day, there is precedence for, if that is something with someone wants to do. >> just a word on precedents, andrew jackson, if republicans are taking their cues from the presidency of andrew jackson, houston, we have a problem. secondly, they got he was skating, i believe was abolitionists charles sumner. talk about two chapters of american history that are probably not where you want to be drawing your marching orders from, jamele? >> yeah, i don't know if i would want to -- i don't know if i'd want to compare myself to president brooks canning of charles sumner. it really was this major e

if sean o'brien and markwayne mullin want to fight for charity, help veterans organizations. help the capitol police memorial fund. let's do that. because they're getting the national attention right now. i bet they'd raise a lot of money. >> getting in, in a way that is quite embarrassing, i think something that people would like to think happens in other floors of elected representatives in other countries and now we see happening here. and on that i want to ask you -- when you know all these individuals. let me ask you about what happened on the capitol side today, on the house side. former speaker mccarthy accused of elbowing congressman burchett in the kidneys. mccarthy is denying it. but the npr reporter who was there said she saw it happen. so she saw the whole thing and is saying it happened. why is mccarthy denying it, do you think? >> i can't answer that. i wasn't there. but this is 100% personal between tim and kevin right now. and if i was still in congress, i would try and sit both of them down to try and work it out. it's disappointing that issues like this and

. >> neil: you heard from senator markwayne mullin on this.he guy that he was talking about, sean o'brien, the president of the teamsters. kind enough 0 join us. sean, good to have you. what did you make of what he said that you kind of started it? i have two sons that are maybe younger than both of you gentlemen. that's the kind of stuff that they say. >> yeah, i mean, it was bizarre. we were at that hearing to testify. we had the privilege of being invited to testify in the value of unions and how we can work together. i used those hearings as an opportunity to hear the different side of opinions and see how we can adjust and work together. it was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen. first, he said we're contenting adults, which is bizarre. sounds like he wanted to date me. then he asked to fight me. i'm hearing now he wanted the white me. the last post he maim is from of a cache of out weapons. you won that date me, fight me, bite me or shoot me? it's crazy. we're there to tell our side of the story and get some feedback and maybe devel

the second incident on the senate side yesterday at a hearing, markwayne mullin, challenging the head of the union to a fight during a back-and-forth. here is that exchange. [video clip] >> let's talk about mr. o'brien's behavior. last time, i had a back-and-forth. appreciate your demeanor today, quite different. after you left, you got excited about keywords. you tweeted 1, 2, 3, 4, five times. let me read what the last said. it said, "green ceo who pretends like he is self-made." i was she was in the truck with me when i built my plumbing company myself and my wife was running the office because i should remember working pretty hard, long hours. but then says "he is self-made. -- "pretends he is self-made. what a clown, a fraud. always was, always will be."

here is what i would say, markwayne mullin never claimed to be cicero. he grew up using his hands.rds, not debating society. if you are going to attack someone on twitter and go after someone you have to know a little something about them. james langford, the other senator from oklahoma, he will pray you to death. great guy. he will pray for you. mark wayne is going to beat your bee behind. you need to know that before you start attacking him. mccarthy, i want to put a little context on this. first of all, bill. sean duffy walked by me one time when i was doing a live interview and hit me so hard i almost like had a punctured lung. i didn't turn him into ethics. i went to dinner with him that night. he is a friend. what's happening now is the residue, if you will, of what has been going on for 12 months. this congressman from tennessee said that kevin attacked his religion if you recall. he voted against him for speaker because he said kevin attacked his religion. others accused kevin of being bought and paid for. i'm pretty sure that's a crime. if you make personal attacks against

senator markwayne mullin says he was serious about fighting during a hearing on capitol hill. >> first thing i thought about, i'm going to break my hand on this guy's face. i'm going to take my wedding ring off. when you're fighting, you learn how to punch correctly, you shouldn't break your hand. >> you actually thought you were going to come to blows in that moment? >> i had full intentions of doing that. >> mullin is a mixed martial arts fighter. >> i'm going to fight. i'll do anything. i'm not above it. i don't care where i fight by the way. it just is going to be a fight. >> melanie zona is "out front" on capitol hill. melanie, it's like, wait, is this real? how are other members of congress reacting to all of this? >> reporter: well, none of his colleagues are calling for him to be punished. we're not expecting mullin to suffer any consequences here. but some republicans have said he should be setting a better example as a united states senator. while other republicans have sought to defend him and turned the blame on the witness. let's listen. >> i would have bludgeoned the guy

has an antiis real anti-israeli track record why do we keep funds them we have senator markwayne mullinagers are pretty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when our clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different. fresh, warm hot dogs! when i'm not selling hot dogs, i invest in a fund that advances innovations like robotics. fresh, warm hot dogs, straight out of my torso! one for you, one for you. oh, you're a messy one. cool, right? so cool. anyone can become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq, a fund that gives you access to nasdaq-100 innovations. hot dogs! fresh, warm hot dogs! befor

[ laughter ] >> at the smoking guns in tulsa, oklahoma -- >> no physical confrontations here. >> you want to fight me? >> what did you say about any time, any place? >> let's have coffee, discuss our differences. >> let's sit down and have coffee. >> let's do it. >> funny how you're backing down -- >> i didn'

and in this corner you have got senator markwayne mullin who today challenged a witness to a fistfight during a senate hearing. i repeat, a fistfight. and it may not have been an idle threat. the senator is a former mixed martial arts fighter after all, which isn't ordinarily a prerequisite for election to the, senate with the way things are now, i mean, who knows? >> you want to run your, mouth we can be two constituents -- we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine. >> what to do it now? >> i would love to do it right now. >> let's take -- >> stand your butt up. >> don't -- don't even know the last time i had gotten a street fight, i used to get paid to fight. >> this is actually real life, by the way, did you happen to hear the -- who today called congressman jared moskowitz a smurf. that was also, by the way, on your dime during a hearing. >> that is bull. you look at smurf here just going around on all the stuff. >> you are doing stuff, the american people have the same question. why should they -- >> who has proven me a liar, you? >> yes. >> i personally would have broken to the

one guy you don't want to be in a fight with is markwayne mullin. we've seen him in the gym.is a kickboxer. that's not the guy you want to pick a fight with. >> he told me once his name is not mark, it's not wayne, it's markwayne. >> that's right. >> i remember. >> i'm fred, but he is markwayne. >> he took almost his wedding ring off, you know. >> he did take it off. >> and you heard senator bernie sanders, "you're a senator." >> laura, none of it is issues-based. mccarthy and burchett getting in a fight. and comer calling the congressman a smurf. none of it is based on any issues. it's all performative. it's all to have a show like this talk about them. it's a party, laura, that to my mind, my former party. >> both were republicans, that knows they're losing the house. they don't stand for anything. and we're going have a year of this just lashing out at each other. >> that's counterintuitive. on the one hand, if you want to have the moral high ground and be seen as the adult in the room and be able to go against the democrats and say they don't know how to govern. they don'

[ding ding ding] >> laura: former mma fighter and senator markwayne mullin took issue with a tweet bybrien during a help committee hearing with the tough guy act. you know where to find me. any place, any time cowboy. #little man syndrome. and here is how that ended up going down. >> this is a time, this is a place, you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults. we can finish it here. >> that's fine. perfect. >> do you want to do it now. >> i would lo to do it right now. >> stand your but the up then. >> you stand your butt up. >> stop it. >> hold it. no, no. sit down. you are a united states senator. sit down. >> sit down, please. >> laura: okay. i never thought i would say this. but bernie sanders seems to be the voice of reason here. everything you just saw was a complete and utter embarrassment. it shouldn't be what is projected to our kids, from our nation's capitol, row minored to all of you. the children are watching. you are supposed to be the adults in the room. so act like it. joining me now is chris bedford, executive editor at the common sense society. chris,

that was republican senator markwayne mullin from oklahoma picking a physical fight with the teamsters president sean o'brien in what was supposed to be a hearing on libra unions. but that is not all of it. there was more blowing over in that congressional pressure cooker today. i present to you, james comer, their public and chairman of the house oversight committee, and democrat congressman jared moskowitz. >> that is -- you look like a smurf here just -- >> you are doing stuff, you american people half -- why should they believe -- >> you have already been proven a liar. >> who has proven me ally? are you? >> yes. >> all of that actually happened just today within the span of a few hours in congress, the people's house, not to be junior high school. let's go straight to the source now is tennessee republican congressman -- tim you just heard kevin mccarthy there, then eyeing what you said, what is the response to that? >> thank you for having me on this. i noticed we got to the part about, that his voice got a few octaves higher, i don't know if you call that a, not that is a pretty

but markwayne mullin is a professional mma fighter. what went through your mind when he challenged you to a physical fight during a senate hearing? >> yeah, you know, what went through my mind was you're one of 100 of the most powerbful people in the country and you're asking like a kid in a schoolyard because you didn't get your way. he's one of the focused for changes in this way and we're definitely brought up differently. >> and you're tweeting like a 12-year-old. you're tweets, you're not a united states senator. and i get that you're tweeting is not the same thing as calling someone out during a senate hearing. but you know where to find me anyplace, any time, cowboys, making fun of him nor not being the tallest senator and represent 1.3 million workers. there is the tweet with your pink circling of the apple box he's standing on. do you think that is best serving, best representing the members of the teamsters union? >> his story is compelling but inaccurate. and hearing in march he started the whole thing by coming into looking

senator markwayne mullin almost got into a fistfight with a witness at the hearing. given your experience, what is going on? does it seem crazier than usual? what do you attribute this to? >> i do think it's greater than normal. i think that we have been here for a number of weeks, about ten weeks in a row. we've had a weekend and other things, but it isn't always easy to get back to a lot of the districts over the weekends. people have been in d. c. away from their families. i think tensions are getting high. i think fans are also getting high because we're not passing the appropriations bills and moving forward. that is a difficult sign. we've had some difficult votes like the continuing resolutions and so i think this thanksgiving break is really necessary this time. i hope that people come back with a better attitude. >> congressman, ken buck, thank you so much. appreciated. >> thank you. >> new poll out of new hampshire e comes as t the formr presesident outltlines extrereme agagenda in hihis bid to r retuo the whwhite house.e. we w will be rigight back. giving

to you, i want you to listen to what leslie jones had to say on the daily show about senator markwayne mullinwith the president of the teamsters. >> i knew this dude was trouble from the moment line heard his name, markwayne. all one word. his parents didn't even love him enough to pick one single name for him. they just shove two names together and called it a day. calm down, markwayne, that isn't something i want to hear on c-span. it's what you hear when you watch an episode of cops. >> [laughs] i mean, we are laughing about a the republican party, house republicans are now, truly, a national punchline. >> yeah, put the punch in punchline there. it might be a good time to point out that a week from today, exclusively on peacock, is wwe survivor series. that seems like what the republic have turned the united states congress into. there are people complaining they are being kidney punched by the former speaker of the house. we have senators challenging witnesses to a fight. these are the people we are supposed to believe are going to make the case in 2024 that they should stamp our. that th
