even matt gaetz recognized that today. he said republicans don't feel like we should negotiate with our hostage. speaker mccarthy and patrick mchenry said default is the only willing to offer. who has the g.o.p. taken hostage? not the white house, not congress, not democrats, it's the american people. they want the american people an impossible choice. devastating cuts or devastating default. decimate food assistance or senior retirement savings. pull kids out of child care or destroy parents' livelihoods, cut veterans' health care or wipe out eight million jobs. this is also not about debt or spending. what is the evidence? republicans wrapped up $8 trillion in debt under donald trump, one quarter of everything we owe in four short years and at the same time republicans raised the debt ceilings three times no strings attached. they don't care about spending. they care what ends up in the pockets of the wealthy and well connected. and when the president offered to freeze spending, they said no, not unless you make it easie

schakowsky: you heard what matt gaetz said. that they don't feel like negotiating with their hostage. i brought this picture because this is a hostage from my district. her name is janet and she called my office in tears. she was so afraid. she is 64 years old. her income is $1200 a month. she has chronic mental illness. she cannot work, she would like to work, but she cannot. and she is so afraid that if they do what they're going to do, that she cannot pay the rent, she cannot pay for any food, she can't pay for the medication that she needs. these tough guys who don't want to negotiate, this is the hostage that they want to take. and there are millions of janets all over the world who are sitting at home, if they understand what's going on, and watching to see what are the republicans going to try to do to them? you know, this is unnecessary. this is unnecessary. this is man-made. this is mccarthy-made. thank you. reporter: the speaker has called work requirements, stricter work requirements, for certain requirements a red l

backing down but neither are his opponents, like florida representative and failed clone of jay leno, matt gaetzmccarthy moved into the speaker's office and gaetz is having none of it. especially after yesterday's votes. so he wrote an official letter to the person in control of the office, called the architect of the capitol, asking "the speaker of the house office is currently occupied by kevin mccarthy. what is the basis in law, house rule, or precedent to allow someone who has placed second in three successive speaker elections to occupy the speaker of the house office?" i can't believe i'm actually going to say this but... matt gaetz is right. well, i mean, that's weird but you know what they say. even a broken clock would be a much better congressman than matt gaetz. and it's not just republicans. it's not just republicans out there. independent, nonpartisan journalists like the folks at fox news are also... upset. >> just to see them voting do the same thing over and over again and then make speeches to endorse kevin mccarthy and have him not get -- i just thought it was the craziest scen

matt gaetz. [laughter] i like that timing. that worked. that was nice.ought he had the whole thing in the bag on the 14th but in order to win, he needed gaetz on that vote to vote for him, to say mccarthy instead. at the very end of the 14th ballot, gaetz voted "present." okay. that must have upset a lot of people because there's nothing worse than being reminded that matt gaetz is in the room. after that, all pluperfect hell broke loose. a furious mccarthy, got out of his seat, walked up the aisle, and got into a yelling match with matt gaetz. me-ouch! [laughter and applause] get a saucer of milk. you can catch all the drama on the new bravo hit "the real house guys of d.c." [cheers and applause] no.uh-uere to make friends because i am kevin mccarthy and no one will be my friend. then... that was wine. that was a glass of wine. then it got even dramatic-er when mccarthy ally mike rogers approached the scrum and then, is where is it? right here, he appeared to lunge at matt gaetz and was quickly pulled away. oh, my god. i don't know if men should hold po

matt gaetz said a new house rule allowing one member to force mccarthy out as speaker has given maga republicans the best version of kevin negotiations, adding that maga conservatives reject compromise with the white house because, quote, they don't feel like we should negotiate with our hostage, unquote. republicans claim that the white house is not showing enough urgency about negotiations, the republicans who run kevin are literally wasting your time and goofing off and playing games and holding 100,000 auctions for used lip balm which is actually disgusting and trolling on twitter like they have all of the time in the world because they actually don't care about the deficit or the debt, y'all. the only things that these maga trolls care about are kicking low-paid working-class people for fun, sucking up to donald trump and just like matt gaetz said out loud, holding america hostage. i am joined now by maryland democratic congressman jamie raskin the ranking member of the oversight committee to investigate january 6th. always good to speak with you, congressman raskin. i have to t

so if this goes down because matt gaetz or marjorie taylor greene and her -- any of those crazy cuckooo tank the u.s. economy, it's 100% going to be at the feet of the republican party and not the president. >> david, we are beginning to see some of the pieces of this deal coming into focus for us. the two you're spending cap aspects of it. the changes to the work requirements that -- but those seemingly facing out by 2030. no impact on medicaid. medicare. social security. what is your take, in terms of the framing that we are hearing so far, the american people should feel pretty good about this deal as well, in the final analysis, don't you think? >> that's my sense. biden's tweet, he talked about both sides didn't get what they wanted. this is governing. as my colleague talked about in the senate doing everything you can to derail whatever exists, there could be progressives who don't want to support this and house republicans, as kurt was saying. but a default would mean no social security checks going out. it's not just older voters that it would upset. i would be upset about my m

so this goes down because matt gaetz, and marjorie taylor greene, or warren broke, art or any of thosezy, cuckoo maga people decide to take the u.s. economy, is because it is one hunted percent going to be at the feet of the republican party, and not the president. >> david, we are beginning to see some of the pieces of the steel coming into focus for us. the two-year spending cap. aspects of it. the changes to the work requirements. yes but those seemingly phasing out by 2030. no impact on medicaid, medicare, social security. so what is your take in terms of the framing that you are hearing so far, the american people should feel pretty good about this deal as well in the final analysis, don't you think? >> i, mean that's my sense. biden's, tweet he talked about both sides not getting what they wanted, and this is governing. so, if mike lee is talked about the senate, doing everything he can to derail whatever deal exists, you know, and there could be progressives who don't want to support this and house republicans, as kurt was saying. but a default would mean no social security chec

that is in the words of matt gaetz, a hostage taking, a hostage taking that will threaten to transform a republican-made debt problem into a republican-made debt crisis. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from north carolina seek recognition? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. today i rise for the millions of american families that will suffer due to the manufactured debt ceiling crisis. ms. adams: defaulting on our sovereign debt will be a disaster, from wall street to main street, to streets in my district, and to the kitchen table. our economy is being held hostage for so-called work requirements that disproportionately harm women and people with disabilities, and people of color. just one example, food insecurity is at the highest level in four years. but maga republicans will only prevent a financial catastrophe if we cut snap benefits for families, for veterans, for students, and for our seniors. this would only deepen the hardships that vulnerabl

republican congressman matt gaetz has joined forces with democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez gaetz andnning owning stocks. restoring faith in government act. and nancy is not happy about it. florida congressman matt gaetz joins me now. so, congressman, tell me the significance of you joining with a.o.c. to get something like this done. >> a.o.c. is wrong a lot. she would probably say the same thing about me. but she is not corrupt. and i will work with anyone and everyone to ensure that congress is not so compromised. we should disallow congressional stock trading for the same reason we don't allow the referee to bet on the game. and this is not a small amount of money. $788 million worth of sciewshts traded by members of congress last year. about one in every four members of congress is ts and it's not exactly like i'm elected with a bunch of gordon geckos and bobby axle rods. take lois frankel how just mentioned. she has been a lawmaker since i was 5 years old. and i'm supposed to believe that all of a sudden she is making moves like she is warren buffett in this congressional stock

here's what matt gaetz said about refusing to budge. >> i don't believe that there's a real deadline. there's a whole lot of cash about to show up on june 15th. i think this is yet another circumstances that joe biden is creating a crisis that he cannot solve and we should hold to absolutely no less than the house position right now. >> joining me now, monica alba and nbc news senior capitol hill correspondent, garrett haake. so monica, lay out what is on the table and what is not on the table. >> there's still so much on the table that that really is representative of where these talks are. there are some possible areas of cooperation but there are still major disagreements when it comes to spending cuts. republicans want more of them. frankly more than the democrats are willing to accept at this point. also, for how long some spending caps could last. republicans want again a completely different number than democrats. the issue of work requirements, which would apply to some federal benefits. that's something that the president had said himself he didn't want touched for certain pr

desantis had can come up as a trump acolight, he had matt gaetz as a buddy one of the questions is whatesantis and trump? >> is there any shush off the disagree with donald trump? >> obviously there is. i have to frame it in way that's not going to piss off all his voters. i sport his agenda. if i have a disagreement, i talk to him in private. >> you can see dean 'tis working on that answer, and matt gaetz in a nirvana t-shirt, and all the fancy movies about politics and glamour don't always -- no shade. everybody's got to do that. and he mentions about trying to find a way to be likable. >> i think when you walk up there, you have to write in all caps at the top of the pad, and i do the same thing. i have the same personality. we're both aggressive. >> aggressive versus likable. now, there is no primary yet, and we are always careful to tell you that. but when it comes to fund-raising and you jump into the raise, they do mold impressions. he's had a widely mocked event to try to take himself tom cruise-like, with the parody, and the white boots to tour storm damage. but it's all piling

thank you so much, kyle. >> appreciated. >>> matt gaetz was at the hearing. you saw him in the clip asking o'boyle about who has been targeted by the fbi. he joins us now tonight. congressman, great to have you with us on the program. i would love to start with this. there are a great many americans who have seen this and heard this and are beginning to become aware of the problems within the fbi. but then they go to the next question. the question i have to start with with you. what can be done about it? when were though be accountability? >> we don't throw people in jail in congress. that is for good reason. we have to defang and defund the authorities that have been weaponize to against the people. we have to get the fbi out of washington, d.c. much of what you heard today is there are good fbi agents and analysts around the country. there is pressure that comes out of headquarters and out of the washington field office to do things that are against the law and the constitution. when people are brave enough to push back, they are crushed. we have seen how

. >> i want to play you, when the deal was coming together, congressman matt gaetz. i think late last week, when the sort of contours were being public, sort of offered a prediction about how he thought this would go, and i thought it looks like it's fairly astute. i'm curious to get your reaction. take a listen. >> i think that it will pass with about 80 to a democrats votes and between 140 and 160 republican votes. i think the coalition opposed to this will be, like, the squad and the freedom caucus, and it will rock it through the senate after it passes the house, and i think that there's no serious threat to mccarthy's speakership. >> basically, a pass on a bipartisan basis. i guess the question for you is, are you whipping votes for this? is this a vote that you are going to go around and really get democrats to vote yes on? >> well, we are continuing the process of engaging with the administration and making sure that they are presenting information, which they have been doing, in a very clear and comprehensive way. two members, as it relates to the contours, t

then we'll bring in matt gaetz and matt gaetz will then kind of set his terms.terms that mccarthy has to agree to -- >> tucker carlson had terms -- >> had terms, yeah. and we're going to make this whole thing happen on air and save the republican party. fortunately for mccarthy's sake he said no. >> cnn's oliver darcy is joining us at the table. this fox news saga is not just about the media it's about politics. this is a figure in the media who was as much a player on the chess board of american politics as pretty much anybody else. and there you have the proof. >> yeah. and he was probably, arguably the most influential force inside the modern day republican party outside of donald trump. and with donald trump not in office, tucker carlson on his fox news show and that fox news perch was extremely influential. she describes him as a journalist. but i think it's more appropriate to describe him as an extremist. an extremist who pushed the republican party to the extreme, whether it was with casting conspiracies about the covid vaccines, about what happened on j

unlikely alliance in the house, as matt gaetz and alexandria ocasio-cortez team up introducing bipartisantoring faith in government act that would restrict members of congress, spouses of trading ownership of certain financial instruments. here is gaetz on his partnership with aoc. >> aoc is wrong a lot, but she is not corrupt. i will work to make sure congress is not -- disallow congressional stock training for same reason we do not allow the referee to bet on the game. $788 million of securities traded by members of congress last year, one in every four members is doing this and it is not like i'm elected with gored an gekkos and axelrod's. some have been lawmakers since i was five years old and now she's making moves like she's warren buffet? this has fairness of like lia thomas swimming competition and we should put an end to it. >> todd: amazing analogy by matt gaetz. similar legislation has been proposed in the past where suggestions that nancy pelosi was making millions to buy and sell stocks for profit. the national anthem sends people into a tailspin after people stand for the st

you see him pushing back on matt gaetz who is trying to prep him. it makes him look like he cares.assing is this leaked video. i think it shows a human that wants to fight. likable or not, ron desantis has the strength to take on trump, the charisma maybe not. the values are far right of trump. at the end of the day, what are people looking for? they're looking for trump-like. they'll get that with ron desantis. trump world can try to embarrass him all they want, it's a marathon, not a sprint. >> i did think it was funny that matt gaetz retweeted the video saying he was so outraged to leak the video. it's so offensive, but here is the embedded link to the video. >>> new details emerging about the houses keeper who died while working for convicted murderer alex murdaugh. stay with us. and enterprise control,, vmware helps you innovate and grow. asking the right question can greatly impact your future. - are, are you qualified to do this? - what? - especially when it comes to your finances. - are you a certified fincial planner™? - i'm a cfp® professional. - cfp® professionals are co

they are the ones, as you know, congressman matt gaetz is one of the people who said i don't believe -- >> i don't believe in the schedule at the debt limit, and this is to be a group of republicans that i didn't believe that a default would be that bad or it's grossly exaggerated, and that is the issue. i think that line of thinking is foolish. ate the fall for this country would be armageddon. it would be absolutely catastrophic. i don't think that will get there though. i just don't believe that we will get there. >> even just being close. i feel like we're already starting to see -- i agree that there is cautious optimism out there, but on the other side of cautious optimism, i am sure is reckless pessimism, reckless dried. even just being close to this that time or perceived that done as already changed a few things or warnings from what you have seen. >> the move by fitch in terms of issuing a warning, that was a bold move. when the snp actually did downgrade u.s. that into thousand 11, they receive backlash for the. bold move by fitch. i think it was necessary though. i am sti

the hardest line republican conservatives, the matt gaetz is in those folks, they don't do compromise that democrats, hey, this is the deal we're going to take, he will get democratic votes. so what does that mean? you could have a debt limit pass with maybe the majority of republicans, maybe not, and some democrats, that is a death knell for kevin mccarthy. a man who hangs on to the speakership with a handful of votes. if he's compromising with democrats and is not giving all his republicans on board, a week from now, we could be talking about the peril around kevin mccarthy, but hopefully biden and mccarthy have struck a deal to raise the nation's debt limit. >> on the spending we've already done, that's the piece that is very easy to get lost in all of us. texas congressman lloyd doggett had this to say about the house gop earlier on msnbc. take a listen. >> the republicans have just been engaged in the height of hypocrisy here. they were not worried about the size of the debt when they raised three times for president trump. when they barred trillions of dollars for tax breaks for

but confident he won't face something again from say the likes of matt gaetz who was difficult for him getting the gavel and who is saying he doesn't want to negotiate with the hostage the debt? >> listen, matt is brilliant. he is energetic on any given day of course he can be difficult about any given thing. i think we all acknowledge that. but kevin mccarthy's stock is trading at a higher level today than it ever has. i think his conference understands that he has made good on his promises to open up the house and his commitment to not waive the 72 hour rule making sure republican members have a chance to review this deal, is an example of how he is changing how the house works for the good. >> do you think the white house underestimated him? >> i do think the white house has underestimated him every step along the way. and it generates a little fatigue i'll admit among house republicans. oh, kevin mccarthy will never be speaker. and he was. kevin mccarthy will never get limit save grow done. he has. kevin mccarthy will never be able to pass bills off the floor week in and week out w

then we'll bring in matt gaetz and matt gaetz will then kind of set his terms.cker will set his terms that mccarthy has to agree to. >> tucker carlson had terms for mccarthy. >> had terms, yeah, had terms. >> the challenge is, charlie, tucker believed rightly he controlled the republican party. jd vance, all the rest. they work for fox, right? and fox works for whoever the wildest people in their base are, the craziest. >> this is a key point because what you had here is tucker's hubris, the fact he had this over weaning sense of pride. he believed he was bigger than fox. he believed he was the king maker. he believed that he could go on the air and make united states senators gravel because they would. he thought that he could -- that he could control the speakership of the house of representatives because, maybe he could. he could get the former president to do his bidding. but the problem is that in rupert murdoch's world, if it becomes clear that you, tucker carlson, think you are bigger than rupert murdoch, he's going to have to correct the record here. >>

tucker's going to first have kevin on, hear him beg and grovel, then we'll bring in matt gaetz, and mattind of set his terms, then tucker will set his terms that mccarthy has to agree to -- >> tucker carlson had terms? >> yeah, had terms. and we'll make this whole thing happen on air and save the republican party. fortunately for mccarthy's sake, he said "no". >> speaks to the level of influence. >> that's why this is in a way so shocking. look at that level of political influence that tucker carlson had. he was a power in a part of the party that's the tail wagging the dog right now. and so to suddenly be cut is really amazing, but that shows also this simymbiosis that coul happen with the fox prime-time and people in power, particularly republicans, we see it with the white house and here we see it again. >> yeah, jim, again, as kaitlan said, this came because of good reporting, to your and your team, kudos. >> thanks for having me. >> thanks for joining us. >>> new overnight, the fbi have arrested a man in florida who is accused of setting off an explosive during the january 6th riots

in their own words, that is literally our matt gaetz described it.ticking points, republicans are fighting very hard to make it more difficult for people to get enough to eat. the, has to get enough to eat. they want to add new requirements for food stamp recipients. today, the top gop negotiator saying that food stamps are a red line. >> are you willing to drop that work requirement? >> not a chance. >> so far the white house is not giving. it has no final deal yet, still, hard right republicans are threatening to revolt because of rudy -- like keeping current spending levels instead of slashing it. one saying, quote, this is totally unacceptable and is not what we agreed to. which brings us to mccarthy's weekend. remember, a single far-right member can force a vote on removing him. some might refused back mccarthy's deal, and up democratic akeem jeffries say that -- they're not looking to rescue mccarthy. >> kevin kathy's assuming that democrats are going to be able to provide the rest of the votes to make up the difference. is that mix calculation

. >> we just saw matt gaetz survive a massive scandal. he's elected. we see members of congress survive scandal after scandal. >> there are member of congresss and many politicians -- i bet you can name a few out of the top of your head who survived scandals. but the congressman he mentioned, matt gaetz, wasn't ultimately charged. santos was. we reached out to congressman santos' office today. we did not hear back. if we do, we will report any of their resp an offer to have him join me for an interview to discuss all of the above on these new santos tapes tonight, which are only on "the beat." we're going to be back in 60 second with the documentarian behind those tapes um see on your screen, and attorney maya wiley. y maya wiley. not a game. not a game! we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin. we're not talking about practice? we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin. we're talking about cashbackin. not a game! we've been talking about practice for too long. -word. -no practice. we're talking about cashback

him from the speakership he said he's not worried about these threats, while florida republican matt gaetz predicted that things likely won't reach that point >> frankly, i think that he's probably got pretty good chances to get over that 112, 113 threshold. the motion to vacate i think is something that's not very likely >> reporter: and the government has just under a week to act on this plan. on tuesday the deputy treasury secretary was on msnbc and reiterated that june 5 is a hard deadline to raise the debt limit. >> that would be monday. thank you. >>> now to a rare move in the national debate over abortion rights nevada governor joe lombardo has become one of the first republican leaders to present abortion rights in his state he signed a law that protects abortion providers and prevents state agencies from helping in investigations into people who might travel to the state for the procedure. he promised on the campaign trail that he would respect the will of voters who codified abortion rights up to 24 weeks >>> he may be the republican frontrunner, but the legal troubles are castin

i think matt gaetz, one of the representatives said, we don't negotiate with hostages.e is calling the american people hostages. host: he is calling the white house at hostage. caller: no, he is really calling the american people because we are the ones that are going to get hurt by this. host: understood. the washington post front page, a plea for biden to publicize this debt site. democrats want more visibility from the president. representative lee, who has served for almost 30 years in the house, encouraged minority leader hedge team jeffries -- hakeem jeffries to address the nation, detailing how republicans are toying with the economy, explain how a default would have catastrophically affected their lives. democrats, do you think that should be the president's next move? what do you think? caller: to publicize the negotiations -- yes. because he might be giving away too much. you can't negotiate with unfair people and they are unfair. they stole two supreme court's, they raise the debt ceiling three times. we can't negotiate with them. host: philadelphia. more cal

what exactly led to this car colliding with the front of downing street paz matt gaetz?i can tell you is that those gates open quite regularly, but they are opened by police on the scene. you get material car is quite often going through, authorised vehicles, i've spent long days at downing street and there is quite a of traffic that goes through, but every time a car goes through, but every time a car goes through, but every time a car goes through, the gates close and you have to show security there. so in terms of penetrating that iron gate, i think it's very unlikely that a car would be able to do that, and the gate seems to have done its job at the moment. but as you say, there will absolutely be questions about what exactly went on here, questions about the prime minister's security — not least because the pavement you're looking atjust now where that car is no resting is really busy, there are often dozens of people who crowd around downing street to take pictures. so apart from the security implications for the government, there's the question of safety of people

there was a leaked video that had matt gaetz helping him out, trump is a counter puncher, you come in to hot, you say the wrong thing then you arely -- little marco. but, this abc "washington "abc washington post poll" is such an outlayer, you men c mentioned, women and minorities, it is not those groups that will go are in for donald trump. with the dobbs decision, he is not winning women or subusuburban woman, ronna mcdaniel said my friends are suburban white women, they are not going for this. kennedy: if i were a mom, i am. i would be upset at pretty much everyone, they have been abandoned by republicans and democrats. >> on critical pocketbook issues, women ruled world. >> you can choose libertarian. >> you can, i don't don't mean to offend or hostess with the most es, but if you want your vote to count. >> a gerrymander state you have to vote libertarian. it will go to democrat no matter what. >> what about in pennsylvania or in georgia. >> i'm in new york. kennedy: i don't buy that, i still think, i don't care who the candidate s i don't care if it's state or national level, yo

one of your republican colleagues, matt gaetz, who was referring to the house gop bill when he says "e, grow," just said this about the debt ceiling, and i want to get your response to it. let's take a listen to congressman gaetz. >> i think my conservative colleagues, for the most part, support limit, save, growth, and they don't feel like we should negotiate with our hostage. >> they don't feel like republicans or conservative colleagues, that we should negotiate with our hostage. he seems to be saying that republicans have taken the economy as a hostage. is that how you view it? >> no, i don't. look, we have done our work in the house. we're the only body here in washington. this voted responsibly to raise the debt limit, and we wish that our senate colleagues would do the same. we wish that joe biden would have engaged in this debate earlier. look, we have got some very modest spending reforms out there, thicks that we know that americans are for. and we just need both parties to come to the table. >> congressm man boyle, did you party make a mistake by not passing a bill last dec

and kimberly guilfoyle, there's tiffany, followed by matt gaetz and then a waving marjorie taylor greeneey look like the prom court if the theme was "enchantment under arrest." then... under indictment? under arrest. under arrest. next came pillow man mike lindell who seems to have lost his date. "where's my pillow? marco! marco! pillow!" then it was time for the former president to take the nation wia six-minute list of unresolved grievances. well, come on, what do you expect? you're listening to a 76-year-old man in florida. "well, nice of you to show up. i wondered if you forgot i was maybe you'd notice me if i was your cell phone. anyway, it's cold in here, the cookies are stale, and i never loved you as much as your brother." some of his grievances got personal. >> this is where we are right now. i have a trump-hating judge with a trump-hating wife. >> stephen: well, there's one thing you and the judge have in common. thank you. [cheers and applause] then, one by one, he addressed all the crimes he so famously hasn't committed, starting with the one in georgia. >> in the wings, they

. >> brian: this is a preview of the what is going to be hearing today and we just watched matt gaetz you heard from marcus allen, steve friend and gloss about what they are going through since they stepped forward. senator ted cruz, not sure if you had a chance to see this, it is disturbing what we witnessed 20 minutes ago. >> it is very disturbing the corruption and weaponization in the fbi and d.o.j. more and more whistleblowers are going to the committee and house and coming to the senate and raising concerns that under joe biden both the fbi and the doj as a whole have been turned into a political weapon to target the enemies of the white house. i just had last week jim jordan my guest on my podcast, verdict with ted cruz. we did a deep dive into the evidence of how the doj and the fbi has been waebized, been targeting, for example, jim referenced it now, the fbi had a memo out of the richmond field office, directed agents to target catholics, tried to get priests and clergy to spy on members of their church. it is absolute abuse of power and it continues unabated under the biden

on tuesday, far-right house freedom caucus member matt gaetz openly admitted republicans were holding the u.s. economy hostage in a bid to force democrats to agree to huge cuts in federal spending. >> i think my conservative colleagues for the most part, support limited growth -- they don't feel like we should negotiate with the hostage. nermeen: white house press secretary karine jean-pierre seized on gaetz's comments, saying they showed the fight over the debt ceiling was a manufactured crisis. >> don't take our word for it, just listen to members of the house freedom caucus. they have been very honest about this. they are now openly -- they're saying a quiet thing out loud, referring to the full faith and credit of the united states as a hostage. nermeen: florida governor ron desantis has officially entered the race for the republican party's 2024 presidential nomination. desantis announced his candidacy official during a twitter spaces interview with twitter's billionaire owner elon musk. desantis' announcement was delayed by a half hour as twitter's live stream repeatedly glitche

so i loved it when she and matt gaetz came and said, well, our endorsement a primary is more important than karl. so i thought, who the hell is concerned about that? but you know, look, our our party has always weird elements. you know, we had the birchers in the fifties, sixties and seventies and we've had we've had david as we made the, you know, the southern the southern swing, we began to get some very ugly but but this is different because it's animated i think in large measure not by values or views. it's animated by a persona and process. i want to get on cable tv and the way to do that is to say really ugly things. you know, i want to have good response in my digital fundraising. so i've got to be really ugly and i want to be i'm not interested in being a legislator. i'm interested in being a character. and so don't pay attention to developing strong with my fellow committee and working, figuring out what it is i to work on, on financial services and seeing if i can find common ground. i just i just want to say something extreme that gets me invited to steve war room and i thin

some on the far right, congressman matt gaetz argue it could trigger the efforts to oust him from theon will be after this passes, if the calculation changes on the far right of the conference. at the moment right now, the speaker doesn't seem too concerned about it. i asked if this makes his speaker any less secure, and he said not at all. >> they're four votes away from it passing, 214 -- now it's three. 215. >> reporter: as you can see, jake, democrats are now giving the votes to get this passed. that's what we expected. they'd old out until the very end. democrats breaking ranks. this is usually along straight party lines. now 26 democrats and counting, 27 now, getting to the magic number. >> there it is, 218. they just hit the magic number. that's the first procedural vote. it looks like speaker mccarthy is going to get that rule approved and will proceed later tonight to vote on the actual legislation. manu raju bringing us in realtime the vote casting on capitol hill. thanks so much. >>> as the house passes this rule and then the debt ceiling bill potentially, it will then, of

then bring in matt gaetz to then set his terms.ill set his terms that mccarthy has to agree to. >> tucker carlson had terms for kevin mccarthy to agree to? >> and on air. wanted to make it happen and save the republican party. mccarthy said no but he had a phone call and agreed with some terms. according to a text carlson sent me, and that was a win. >> working on another show, she had sidney powell on, rudy giuliani on, spreading lies. when you were a senior producer there, was that okay with you? did you buy into it? >> it's interesting to look back from the perch of perspective now. being there in the moment, i was seduced for about a week by those ideas of tens of thousands of americans were, wondering if there could be evidence. i was waiting for it. the president of the united states had made serious claims of fraud, and the evidence never came. for me it took a few days to just realize the whole thing was a ruse. and kind of, you know -- i think the american public was also waiting and coming to that realization around the s

and so it causes the negotiations to be talked about in a way that those folks, people like matt gaetzhearing the conversation. these are folks who are not likely to vote for a bipartisan debt limit and spending bill. i will say it looks like if they're not super worried, if you're not hearing that scared urgency in their voice and we're very close, that might tell us they're helpful and they might see something will end up working out here, but at the same time the white house is nervous in the west wing. >> it's certainly true mcconnell has been a quiet voice throughout this and doesn't want to get involved personally. treasury secretary yellen keeps saying, no, we think it's june 1st. let's turn to the day's other political headline. florida governor ron desantis finally going to announce he's running for president today, apparently doing so on a twitter space with elon musk. he'd had a bunch of missteps in this pre-campaign phase. how is his team looking to right the ship? what is going to be their argument to the american people? >> i think at this point what we've seen is this ki

didn't really get people to talk about how this was kind of a hostage situation, as they saw, that matt gaetzthe republican from florida, openly said this was kind of a hostage move. and so i think they feel like pretty good that they were able to win the public narrative on this. >> the battle over the narrative is not over. this fight, as we know, continues until at least, at least that the bill is signed by the president. let's turn to the democrats now. the expanded work requirements, raising the 20-hour requirement for able-bodied childless adults from food stamps. of course, wait for the legislation to be written and released today. is that enough to lose significant democratic support considering what we heard from paul, alexandria ocasio-cortez, some of the progressive members of the caucus? >> i don't think it's going to be a total deal breaker because they are likely to kind of -- not every democrat is going to vote for this, of course. but for the average democratic member, they don't want to defy biden, who is part of their party, on this huge deal. they don't want to plunge the a

he counts on the votes of people like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene, some of the most extreme politicians america has ever seen, in order to get elected speaker. those are the types of people he's got to sell this deal to, and he may need extra days to do it. >> in your party, republicans say redline is they will have work requirements on food stamps benefits. a lot of democrats, especially progressive democrats, say no way, if that's in there, they will not vote for it. >> would you vote for that if the white house associated that? >> john, look, it depends on what's really at stake here. there's a lot of studies out there that show work requirements just put onerous burdens on people and don't do what the republicans say they will do. let's look at these numbers, john. $1 billion would be saved with work requirements. if the republicans do what they intend to do and reinstate the trump tax cuts or extend the trump tax cuts, we're talking about adding $3.5 trillion to the deficit. that's $1 saved versus $3,500 saved if the republicans would stop with these trump tax cuts that
