[ laughter ] florida congressman matt gaetz tweeted yesterday, "how many of the women rallying againsturning roe are overeducated, underloved millennials who sadly returned from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats and no bumble matches? which is pretty bold coming from a guy who does all his dating on venmo. [ laughter ] several journalists across multiple news outlets have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus after attending last weekend's white house correspondents' dinner so all those articles about how we're back to normal are going to be a week late. [ laughter ] donald trump jr. reportedly met on tuesday with the house committee investigating the capitol attack remotely for more than three hours three hours doesn't seem very long, but because it's don jr., it still came out to, like, eight hours worth of testimony >> the media runs right away it's russian disinformation. there is literally zero evidence that it's russian dis -- [ laughter ] >> seth: president biden mistakenly said at a white house event this week that there's never been a senator from

marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz. also former president trump. the story was a broken yesterday by the chronicle confirmed today by kron 4 records show that john king junior gave $1000 to green last may $500 to friend of matt gaetz in january of last year and $2800 to trump in 2020, the capstone event group, which is based in north carolina acquired bay to breakers in 2019. the company has not yet commented on that report. >> the san francisco board of education has approved a resolution to make juneteenth the district holiday. 2 teen is june 19th that celebrates the day in 18. 65 when african-americans in galveston, texas, learned that they were freed in the emancipation proclamation 2 years earlier, juneteenth became a federal holiday last year. san francisco students will and their school year on june first this year. but the districts year-round services will be closed on monday. june 20th in observance of the new holiday. >> the mega millions lottery has suspended the payouts. this is after a really messy mistaken tuesday's drawing when the

off any suspicions from trump voters and spent the weekend campaigning with staunch trump allies matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. is the trump endorsement enough to put you over the top? >> the president support it is usually helpful because it signals which side he is on. >> reporter: primary voters say they are mostly concerned about the economy. >> everybody is paying more for everything. >> the prices are real bad right now. >> reporter: in many states trump's backing will help vance who along with most other top candidates have falsely argued the 2020 election was rigged. >> once donald trump gave his endorsement, i think you know they will look buy it. >> reporter: trump's hold on the g.o.p. is unprecedented. but it will be tested in primaries across the country this month. >> we've endorsed dr. oz. >> reporter: in pennsylvania trump is backing celebrity dr. mehmet oz for senate and also endorsed several controversial candidates, including herschel walker in georgia, previously accused of domestic violence. and charles herbster for governor in nebraska, accused by multiple women

when you hear matt gaetz say the maga brand is on the line, it's a little bit squishy. wins or not, there's almost as many people supporting jd vance as are undecided. there is this feeling that whoever wins that race, they're going to be trying to run as fast as possible into the arms of former president trump. we all need to be reminded that former president trump won ohio by more than 8% twice. ohio was seen as a sort of really up in the air state. then her comes former president trump along and has pulled that state red. it tells you a lot about the power of former president trump and his ideas. >> what's interesting is endorsing jd vance, a never trumper, because of celebrity, because of polling, whatever, it's like the pennsylvania primary where he endorsed dr. oz over david mccormick who is a strong trump supporter, married to a former trump white house aide. so it's celebrity that matters. >> yeah. that's sort of classically trump, right? he's probably watched a lot of dr. oz. i think in some ways the more interesting element here is not why trump makes these do

i'm talking about florida republican and subway rider cheering on the masturbator, matt gaetz.sponse to the nationwide protests, this morning, gaetz tweeted, "how many of the women rallying against overturning "roe" are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats and no bumble matches?" now, folks, if that statement sounds insane, remember: for matt gaetz, over-educated is any woman who's already graduated high school. ( applause ) meanwhile-- meanwhile? not meanwhile. what else is going on. over in the pandemic, covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are rising again in the united states. how many comebacks does covid get? it's the mel gibson of viruses. ( laughter ) cases are going up in washington, mississippi, georgia, maine, hawaii, south dakota, nevada, and montana. come on! how does it possibly spread from person to person in montana? every person is 20 miles apart to give someone covid, you have to lick a prairie dog and throw it through the window of a homestead.

where he is much more to find towards trump at about the far right figures in house, people like matt gaetz comedy is much more condemnable towards. >> host: allen, democrat's line. you are on. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. i'm very impressed by your work. you mentioned the unhealthy situation where parties identify more with what they're against and what they are for. i believe thatt has spilled over begetting with the end of the fairness doctrine into people identify with only one point if you hear on station with no opposing viewpoint since the mid-'80s. the fact that has on our jury system. i haven't very much openly discussed by judges about whether the jury pools is so affected by bias that we can't really get their juries anymore. do believe that is affecting thi rightness of people to put forward indictments for fear that even though there is merit to there, , the jury pool will longer find it? >> guest: well, for so appreciate the question, that you're interested in our work. look, security a former president i think would be an enormous legal and political challenge in any ti

he is different from matt gaetz and from marjorie taylor greene.hey are not electorally or politically vulnerable in this primary season and madison cawthorn could lose. he could win. he needs to get -- shouldn't be a problem for an inck incumbent republican district but it's not guaranteed. if he doesn't get to 30% he's in a runoff and i don't know how that would go for him. if he even gets through this primary, it's not inconceivable that he could lose in the general particularly if these -- this kind of behavior continues and certainly, he's made many, many enemies. it not just in washington. it started much earlier from get-go in henderson county, north carolina in his own home territory. almost immediately started making enemies out of people who had helped him get elected and so this has gone from hendersonville to raleigh to washington and from many people in those places got to a point where he's not worth the trouble. they can find a conservative maga sort who can hold the seat who is not the level of trouble, not the source he's been for

the party of matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. policies, those are the voices that are dominating and increasingly because they show no consequence for their behavior that the party keeps drifting further and further in that direction, and listen, ultimately, it's a short-term strategy, but a long-term consequence, and obviously that's where i think the problem lies for the republican party. it also is where i see the advantage for the democratic party. >> yeah. listen, jessica, the chief justice speaking out tonight saying is concerned about the integrity of the courts. he's hoping that the leak doesn't cause people to lose the integrity of the courts b. u for the democrats, what's their last et plan to try to codify abortion rights? >> right. so that's what they're going to try to do, don. we're going to tell you right now, you have a 50/50 senate, that is just the reality of the situation here. they're going to set up a wednesday vote next week to codify abortion rights and take that vote, but the problem is they don't even --

. >> look at jd vance, campaigning with marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz.rcumstance where the establishment could claim they defeated trump so president trump's brand is on the line, the maga brand is on the line. >> like i said, he speaks an occasional truth. do you agree? >> it's interesting. donald trump obviously went all in for jd vance, did it late. this was a risk he took. it looks like it's working out early if these poll numbers over the last couple of weeks are telling us the truth. i think we'll know a lot more at the end of this month about exactly how powerful donald trump still is in the republican party and looks like mixed results. jd vance looks good in ohio with a trump-supporting republican and georgia, much bigger problems where his endorsement hasn't seemed to help at all. >> all of these candidates have tried to beat the trump candidate so in that way he has already won. josh mandel wins that race in ohio. donald trump will probably still claim victory on wednesday morning as mandel sought to be a trump candidate. >> a convert. it's fi

the problem is that there is no significant, serious primary challenger to matt gaetz.o madison cawthorn. what was the difference? madison cawthorn attacked his own party. you simply cannot do that. >> yeah. so you're saying that while cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here him losing this primary tonight, including what he alluded there, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns as well as being a right wing extremist, you're saying it came down to loyalty as none other than kendrick lamar might say, who are you loyal to when your lights get dark, is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the other substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely. and in terms of madison cawthorn's heart, as far as house republicans are concerned, senate republicans are concerned, your heart needs to belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell. the fact that his heart belonged to donald trump was simply not enough. it was interesting that donald tru

you heard matt gaetz. you summed it up very well. gets to be the standard barer. josh mandel is claiming even though trump doesn't support him, he's the real trump guy. there's no serious candidate who is distancing him or herself from the former president. the big question is can trump actually engage in puppet mastering of some of these primarie that's been the perception and the expectation for the course of this midterm cycle. we're about to figure out if it's true. it might not be true. even thus far, whave seen som republican officials in surprising ways buck t president. the tennessee republican party bent over backwards to keep a candidate endorsed by trump from being on the ballot. that wasn't something about principles or democracy, but it was an example of an institution saying we know trump wants this, but we're not going to do it and we're not worried about the korns kwenss. >> bsy raises an important point. what do you makef that? the fact if you look at ohio, jd vance had a surge in the polls. he's looking strong headi

we know where matt gaetz stands and where trump stands. the question is where do the rest us stand? that's what the next 20 to 30 years in this country is going to be about. >> we could do a whole half hour. please promise all three of you will come back because i really want to continue the conversation. tonight have more time. thank you all very much. please go on to findamerica.com and next up on "the reidout," the ten lives in buffalo, the rich lives they led until they crossed paths with a killer. mayor kathy hockeyium joins me. where the violent killer says he got his racial ideas and what is being down to counter the deadly indoctrination. voters go to the polls in pennsylvania where the republican ballot is continued with election deniers.

comments resurfaced after the shooting in which conservative congressman matt gaetz expressed his support for replacement theory and gaetz tried to insist he had been speaking in race neutral terms. senator ted cruz claimed the u.s. was a victim of invasion from the south. and compared it to ukraine. how many bombs have dropped on cruz's neighborhood? >>> and elise stefanik, the gop leadership, who came under fire in the wake of the massacre for the past campaign ads that echoed replacement theory. and yet on monday she tweeted that democrats want wide open borders and mass amnesty for illegals allowing them to vote. that is replacement retro. and the border is canada, not mex coax and the piece deresistance is the overseas holiday, european vacation style by the american conservative movement which covered in bude heft, hungary. do these people have day jobs? the role of the hapless clark griswold followed by this guy who spent much of his video message at the conference foaming over hungarian prime minister who was recently re-elected, if you can call it that, to a fourth consecutive te

. >> people like marjorie taylor greene, you know, people like matt gaetz, mo brooks, the folks you think are almost leading -- i would argue that they are leading the republican caucus, and so kevin mccarthy, elise stefanik, instead of leaving, as their title, leadership, which suggest they do, they are basically tolerating this all in the name of hopefully i become speaker someday. you can't fund raise, you can't live on fear because eventually you are going to create fearful people and fearful people can do really bad things that i think that is what we saw in buffalo. >> tucker: so they are continuing to tell you, in the face of all available evidence, that the mass murder you saw over the weekend in buffalo was inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric when in fact that mass murder was committed by someone with diagnosed mental illness that the adults around him apparently ignored. okay, so a shooting by a crazy person that has been hijacked by partisan forces to crush political dissent, to attack civil liberties in this country. you should care about that. he does, a political science

he comes in the school of matt gaetz. this is trump boy, he lost.t does this tell you about the power of trump? and we don't have to look too far on pennsylvania to see what it's been for oz. at the very least very tight. >> yeah, i mean. if you look at the primaries that he's had thus far. it's hard to have a clear picture a marriage of specifically what happens to trump endorsed candidates. but. it is pretty clear about wet he has thought about this party. madison cawthorn fell out his own way to have [inaudible] i thinking that isn't the right kind of leader not ready to mature. but pennsylvania, don't forget that it was the heart of trump 's stop the steal campaign. right? so what he unleashed in that republican primary voters that very much believe that the election was stolen from them. it is not mastriano who has emerged as the republican nominee for governor. he was in the january six insurrection, but all of those that were running for governor were in some way supportive of stop the steal. did not believe that biden had won. so this is wha

saw it with the supreme court confirmation hearings and steen with characters like jim jordan and matt gaetz hijacking the proceeding with their shenanigans and their cleanery. that's not going to happen because the two republicans on this committee, liz chain and adam kinzinger believe in the core mission of this meeting so it will be a lot harder for anybody who goes before this committee to try to hijack, it enough theier it, try to run out the clock and chance to redirect it with nonsensical questions not doing with the topic. they won't be able to do that because every single person believes in the work of the house select committee and that's where kevin mccarthy screwed up. donald trump is going to lose his mind when he seize no one is out there defending him. >> the january select commity had a couple of topics to talk to rudy giuliani about. wanted to talk about his promotion of claims that the 2020 election was stolen, attempt to disrupt, delay certification and contract with former president trump on or around january 6th. here's my question. can you ask rudy giuliani these things

it's not just donald trump's republican party, it's also marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz.can party comfortable with a candidate like jd vance who is willing to traffic in replacement theory, anti-putin isolationism, who has been willing to endorse some of the most raw authoritarian streaks in trumpism. what you are seeing is a real radicalization of the republican electorate. yes, donald trump has tremendous influence. don't miss the fact that trump himself is influenced by what's happening to the republican base. it's not just top down. it's also what's happening with the voters who are making these decisions. >> jd vance thanking donald trump by name as well as tucker carlson and marjorie taylor greene. the democratic turnout was down from 2018. republicans on the other side, theirs was up. is that another warning sign to democrats? what are you hearing on the ground there? what are your concerns? >> well, i am in ohio, as you know, in cleveland. democratic turnout was surely lower. there weren't the contested races that the republicans had. tim ryan was going to win his

this weekend we see him campaigning with marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz.blicans you want to turn out for you in a primary, that picture speaks volumes in. >> that's right. i think one thing to keep in mind is this is rob portman's state. rob portman is not a trump enthusiast. it doesn't mean that he didn't vote or help the president when he was in office. but he's not going out there campaigning, saying donald trump or the highway. and i think that that is such a strong point of remembering where the republican party has evolved. this is rob portman's seat. >> they are all trumpers. they might not get trump's endorsement, but they have certainly most of the folks in this field, fully endorsed trumpism. >> right, and you also see, we'll show you the pictures, ted cruz who ran against trump in 2016. that did not go well. he's campaigning for mn mandel over the weekend. are the primaries settled or do we have fractures in the republican party that will play out and carry over to 2024? >> yeah. i certainly think everybody is watching. you could even say the wh

vance, the ohio nominee, senator ron johnson of wisconsin there, we showed the matt gaetz tweet.out more about this against this theory that we're hearing so much about? >> well, that i think if they were sitting here, they would probably say there's a conflation going on between the racist, you know, nonsense that this shooter supposedly believed in which is that jewish leaders are, you know, orchestrating some behind the scenes replacement versus open borders or illegal immigration debate. that's what they would say. the reality is what everyone should say today, republican, and i'll speak for my side, is that this theory is crazy. it is psychotic. it is racist, and it can infect people. i don't know if this guy could pick tucker carlson out of a lineup. he seems like a crazy person to me. there's one thing to say on a day like today, and that is to denounce hate, to denounce rainf racism, and to denounce anybody who fans these flames. i heard what you said a few moments ago about these things devolving into political debate, and nothing ever happens. i thought it was an incred

the calvary that came out in the final days for jd vance were matt gaetz, march ri taylor green. tim ryan mentioned eastern europeans, the population that exists here in ohio. when we talk about foreign policy of jd vance, this is a man in the last month at the height of russia's invasion and persecution of ukrainians said that, quote, he frankly doesn't care about ukraine. again, republicans knew who this man was. i'm frankly surprised by the margin because we did talk to quite a few hesitant ardent trump supporters here in the last weeks that were questioning of who jd vance was. i think there's a reality that republicans are looking at. no matter if you at one point call donald trump an idiot, ultimately the former president will welcome you back into his club and potentially endorse you and get you a seat in the senate to be able to serve at the age of 36 years old for six years. donald trump just gave jd vance a lifeline. >> jd vance is a self-described never trumper in 2016. now riding on the strength of an endorsement from donald trump. >>> let's go over the big board wher

with the problem, is there's no serious primary challenger to matt gaetz.re was to madison cawthorn, what was a difference? madison cawthorn attacked his own party, you simply can't do that. >> yes, so you're saying that well cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here he's losing this primary tonight. when he alluded to, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns, as well as being a right-wing extremist. you think he came down to loyalty, as none other than kendrick lamar might say. who are you loyal to when the lights get dark? is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view here is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the actual substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely in terms of madison cawthorn's heart as far as house republicans are concerned senate republicans are concerned your heart used and belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell it, was simply not enough. it's interesting that trump said give him a second chance and helphim he wanted them which is

today, you know, people like marjorie taylor greene, you know, people like matt gaetz, mo brooks, theost leading -- i would argue that they are leading the republican caucus. and so kevin mccarthy, elise stefanik, instead of leading as their title, leadership should suggest they do, they are basically tolerating this all in the name of hopefully i become speaker some day. what happens, john, is did they pull the trigger? no. did they call this guy up and tell him to do it? of course not. but when we as a party or a movement or people like frankly tucker carlson, you know, throw out these theories or just fish in the waters of white replacement theory or echo some of those kind of fear-based things, you can't be surprised when some people take that to the level of going and massacring people. you just can't. you can't fund-raise. you can't feed. you can't live on fear because eventually you're going to create fearful people and fearful people can do really bad things. and i think that's what we saw in buffalo. >> liz cheney, your colleague who sits on the january 6th committee, your fe

that would do everything from fixing america's roads and bridges to modernizing school buses which matt gaetz very excited about don't boo love. not to mention no president in my memory has given more marginalized group opportunities and i'm talking about community elect community the list goes on and on and i know mr. president that the left is superupset at you, you know, that i think they should be happy to know that you just recently announced that you prpgzing a new 20% minimum tax on the superwealthy and i will say president biden you're a big man here a really big man could have targeted donald trump but you chose to raise tax only on billionaires that was big of you. really nice. prove me wrong show me the taxes. so personally, i think that's president biden can do a better job at taking credit at things going right unemployment is up 3.6.. 2% if you don't count the cuomo family and i will say -- president biden came into office and he's done welling and he's done badly in this room i know there's a lot of mix review and talk about how president really respect the press but what has h

marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz and josh holly. trail here with closing messages in a defining republican primary to replace rob portman. i think tonight will be quite telling about the direction ahead for donald trump and the gop. >> thanks to the both of you. >>> taking a live look at the supreme court. when we get back, we're going to look what the the reaction has been in mississippi. the state at the center of that case. we're also going to talk with one of the heads of planned parenthood coming up in just a minute. parenthood coming up in just a minute did you know you can get discounts on your meds even if you don't have a medicare prescription drug plan? it's true. all you have to do is go to singlecare.com type in your prescription, and then present the coupon to your pharmacist. it's that simple. not to mention, it's free. singlecare is accepted by major pharmacies across the country and it works for everyone, whether you have insurance or not. next time you need a prescription filled, go to singlecare to make sure you ge

come from the same cluster of weirdos like ted cruz, tucker carlson, rudy giuliani, donald trump, matt gaetzson cawthorn, and marjorie taylor greene their names are all starting to blend together now in one soup of insanity. "did you hear what muckery gaylor cawthump said now?" [ laughter ] did someone flip a switch or something that unleashed all these weirdos on us? it's like that scene in "ghostbusters" where the e.p.a guy makes them open the vault and all the ghosts come flying out i mean, could've sworn i saw the zombie cab driver on "the masked singer" last night [ laughter ] yeah, you saw that rudy giuliani, the guy who waged a lengthy and unhinged campaign to overturn the 2020 election, who tried to help donald trump steal millions of votes, helped orchestrate a scheme to extort the country of ukraine to help trump cheat in the election, had his home and office raided by the fbi, is currently under federal investigation for various allegations, and called for a trial by combat on the day of the january 6th insurrection, was on fox's "masked singer" last night that's a terrible, terri

you have gop representatives, matt gaetz was defending the great replacement theory, which is at theeart of the scree that was written reportedly by this suspect. and so this is something that it was i think rel vated to darker corners of the internet and still festers there but it has been mainstream -- >> we shouldn't call it fringe anymore. you know it's already happened. there's far right figures making excuses, this was a false flag and conspiracy, it's already happening. we know exactly what will happen the next few days. nothing will change. it's only going to get worse. and what do we do? i guess all we do is cover it. >> there's no question that outlets like fox news are responsible in large part for mainstreaming these conspiracy theories that has largely been relegated in the past to the far right fringe. when we talk about this replacement theory, this is the idea there is a plot, active plot to replace white americans with immigrants. this is something that used to be on the fringes, tucker carlson first spoke about it on his show more than a year ago and since then we h

the republican party in ways that other outliers, shall we call them, marjorie taylor greene or matt gaetz is because he's such a -- such a joke. i mean, i don't care about his sexual private life at all, but, you know, this is a guy who vacationed at hitler's summer home because it was like on his bucket list. this is a guy who routinely breaks the law going into the airport with guns, driving without a license, i mean, he's such a joke and such an embarrassment. i wish the republican party were equally as embarrassed by marjorie taylor greene and her anti-semitism and conspiracy theories, but i think the time has come where no one is really taking madison cawthorn seriously anymore. there is some concerted effort to get him out. >> yeah, well, kirsten powers, s.e. cupp, thank you very much. >>> coming up, gripping testimony from the actress amber heard as she takes the stand for first time in johnny depp's defamation trial against her, talking of abuse she says she suffered at his hands. we'll have the details coming up. because the sleep number 360 smart bed is really smart. it senses y

he's going to have -- it's charlie kirk, it's ben shapiro, it's matt gaetz, it's marjorie taylor greenef the party that he speaks for. >> charlie said no way. >> well, charlie's here with me now. this is where we are. but let me say this. the number one rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. and madison cawthorn broke all of those rules. and it was very obvious from the beginning that the republican party was out to get him. and all i say is that you saw what happened with madison cawthorn. the trump endorsement only goes so far. >> well, there are many rational republicans across this country that are saying thank goodness, that this was the way this race ended. and thank goodness for thom tillis for putting the money and the message behind getting rid of someone that really is a black eye on the republican party. to bakari's point, he not only went after his colleagues in the house by saying they had orgies and were doing drugs, he also turned on the voters in his district. certainly by doing embarrassing things, saying a lot of outlandish things. but district shopping

maybe you don't love the way things are going but do you really want trump, do you really want matt gaetzo you really want marjorie taylor greene. is that going to work? >> first of all, we actually don't hear a lot of that from president biden. i obviously cover anything that he says out of the white house pretty closely. when he does sort of explicitly bring up that contrast between his administration, his agenda, and what the republicans are doing, it actually kind of stands out because it's not something that he spends a lot of time focusing on. just one example that is an issue that's out there a lot recently is student debt forgiveness. it's something the president doesn't talk about very much even though this is an administration that has already cancelled billions of dollars in student loan debt through various forgiveness programs. that's just an example of one thing. but i think this white house probably back nones openly and in private they're not doing a good enough job taking credit for. >> joe manchin went on a different network in mid-december and he effectively stopped the

biggs of arizona, lauren boebert of colorado, thomas massie of kentucky, clay higgins of louisiana, matt gaetzorida, chip roy of texas, paul gosar of arizona, louis gohmert of texas, and marjorie taylor greene of georgia. hearing that list of names is like hearing the roll call at a legion of doom meeting i mean, who else voted against this bill? skeletor i'm just kidding i'm just kidding skeletor's not in congress he's the president's lawyer. [ laughter ] you guys also i got to say, at least with skeletor, you know what you're getting. the dude's a giant, maniacal skeleton in a hoody. he is up-front about being evil. he-man's under no illusions about who he is dealing with he-man never started an episode saying, "hey, maybe we should hear skeletor out. the nationwide formula shortage is an urgent crisis that requires immediate action. and yet, for all their bluster, republicans have once again made it clear they have no interest in actually governing or helping solve the problem. if you're feeling down, they just want you to pick yourself off the ground, because you're in a new town, and head

florida congressman matt gaetz has descfended replacement theo.rry bought replacement theory to a house hearing. look, we can have vibrant debates about the right levels of immigration and assimilation in america but let's be clear, invoking the great replacement is not part of that. it's not intended to be. it's a dog whistle that everyone should be able to hear by now because there's a growing body count behind t more evidence of violent resistance to multiracial democracy in america. and that's your reality check. >> john avalon, thank you. >>> a sitting senator and a leading senate candidate are both hospitalized this weekend for strokes. we are going to speak to a leading neurologist about the details on both cases. >>> and congressman madison what you thoorn about to face north carolina primary voters amid a slue of damaging headlines. can he withstand the onslaught from senior members of his own party? it's time for our memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because every gree

you have republicans who -- lawmakers who have promoted this great -- racist replacement theory, matt gaetzthink is the responsibility of republican leaders to get their members to stop trafficking in racism and hate? >> to say stop trafficking in racism and hate. >> but what does it take for them to get them to do that? >> but they haven't even done that, to alice's point. >> they need to talk the talk and walk the walk. they need to go out there and condemn this type of activity. and i agree with bakari commenting on no one better to console these victims and console the family members and the first responder than joe biden. he's been there. he's felt pain before, and he did a tremendous job showing empathy to them. and making it a clear point that this is an act of domestic terrorism should be punished accordingly. but also talking about this being a racially motivated hate crime and doing so in a way or talking about this is the act racial hatred of a minority of people of this country that should not be dominate and dictate how the rest of this country acts. we cannot tolerate this. th

with the problem, is there's no serious primary challenger to matt gaetz.nce? madison cawthorn i taxes own party, you simply can't do that. >> yes, so you're saying that well cawthorn had all these other issues, we see here he's losing this primary tonight. when he alluded to, embarrassments from his past, these very grandiose and odd behavior patterns, as well as being a right-wing extremist. you think he came down to loyalty, as none other than kendrick lamar might say. who are you loyal to when the lights get dark? is your loyalty coming from the heart? your view here is this is much more about republicans demanding partisan loyalty than the other substantive issues with this incumbent candidate? >> absolutely in terms of madison cawthorn's heart as far as house republicans are concerned senate republicans are concerned your heart used and belong to kevin mccarthy and mitch mcconnell it, was simply not enough. it's interesting that you said you made a second chance and help me -- he wanted them which is something you're not allowed to do even if you have

january 6th, the house gop leader and his number two, steve scalise, are taking on congressman matt gaetzt they viewed as inflammatory language with mccarthy saying he didn't want to play politics with the issue because the country was too crazy. >> i'm calling gaetz and explaining to him this is serious [bleep], cut this out. >> yeah, that's, that's how -- i mean, it's potentially illegal,ling what he's doing. >> well, he's putting people in jeopardy. howard: here's another excerpt, mccarthy talking about gop congressman mo brooks. howard: media liberals pounced on mccarthy for saying one thing privately and another in public. >> kevin mccarthy, you heard on those tapes, is unare recognizable now. in the 15 months since january 6th, he has cozied up to the crazies. howard: but some on the right are also criticizing mccarthy who said on one tape of his dissident members as with donald trump, can't they take their twitter accounts away too? >> congressman kevin mccarthy, a man who in private, turns out, sounds like an msnbc contributor. kevin mccarthy or one of his highly liberal allies is

>> he does have private conversations with matt gaetz.s said mccarthy reached out to him and said please stop naming specific people and that is a reference the attacks on liz cheney and adam kinzinger. talking about them as an antitrust cabal in the republican party. other people say that they did not hear from mccarthy. when we were going to report the new story version of our reporting about mccarthy's concerns about the far right reach -- i asked him for, and he was very dismissive and i asked him it mccarthy speak you just speak to you about your record -- and it shows to go -- shall -- host: you write in your book about efforts about senator mccarthy about censure. >> -- they were grasping for any alternative that would give them some comfort because they knew there was an appetite. there were people in their brakes to tell trump what he did was wrong. others wanted to impeach him and others yet when it to offer some sanction. some point, we were grappling with can be good eight cent -- do a censure resolution? there was talk about

congressman matt gaetz was proud of rick scott for the bold agenda. have put forward. either this put together by the person leading the effort to win back the senate or nothing, and the president talked about what his plan is, if they have an alternative plan, we would well come it forward. >> they say there is one coming this summer and senator scott said a majority is not behind him, this is his individual plan for this. i do want to ask as well, the department of justice was very swift in responding to school board members who felt like they were being harassed and intimidated a couple months back. did the president feel that the demonstrations outside of, say, justice alito's home, are those attempts to interfere or intimidate? >> well, i think i said yesterday that i'm happy to repeating it's important for everybody to hear, that the president's long standing view has been that violence, threats and intimidation of any kind have no place in political discourse. and we believe, of course, in peaceful protest. what i do find interesting and i thin

white voters and you hear it from the mouths of rich lowery and from the mouth of ted cruz and matt gaetzi would want to draw a straight line between that rhetoric as a way of fertilizing the soil and this heinous act, and so we have to begin to own our own responsibility for the context for this sort of thing. it is very interesting, nicole. people will hide behind the debates behind free speech in order to protect those persons who want to exploit grievance and hatred for their own cynical gains. how do we make the argument? there has to be a moral argument with political implications and it continues down the path, it seems to me. >> eddie is absolutely right, charlie. it's not a legal argument and it benefits all of us and all of these conversations for as long as that is, and we should knock wood now in all these conversations from here on forward, but the moral piece is clearly what's broken and especially for a republican party not just in my lifetime, but in my career was willing to do everything, everything to protect the homeland from a different kind of terrorism, foreign terro

whether it's from trump, matt gates, gaetz, fox news, again and again point to go soros.y are all interesting intersection alitys and points of overlap between their enemies and also their goals. >> yeah. >> when you say whether he's winning or not, orban has won four straight elections in hungary. so they're looking. they're looking at him and saying, huh, this is a model that we want to replicate >> right. as you say, it's a model that explicitly appeals to ethno nationalism. there is one beastie boys song, i don't know if that's in your wheel house. >> well, you have to fight for your right to cite a beastie boys song. >> appreciate your right to fight. i was going to go to no sleep till budapest. >> i was thinking of the clash safe european home. perhaps they should rewrite back in the ussr for hungary. >> all decent references. we expect nothing less. serious times, a little levity on a friday. i'll take it. good to see you, david. >> good to see you, ari. have a good weekend >> you too. >>> we have a lot more coming up, including a look at what obama has called for
