what was said this time that has matt gates not very happy. and if you are a parent of a child under 5, you're going to want to hear this. why the fda says it has been unable to clear a covid vaccine for young children. and when that might change. and after releasing a report that detailed its university's ties to slavery, harvard is on a mission to right its wrongs. a mission to right its wrongs. i'm always up for what's next, even with higher stroke risk due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin i'll go after that. eliquis. eliquis reduces stroke risk better than warfarin and has less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis has both. don't stop taking eliquis without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking, you may bruise more easily or take longer for bleeding to stop. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, or

here is scalise talking today about, basically telling matt gates i am sorry, kind of.matt, i am sorry that those comments caused him problems. because it with things that were conveyed from me from a member of places. you can go back to those days after january 6th. there were a lot of reports floating around. some turned out to be true, some. not so, as you are having private conversations, commenting on those things, ultimately the concerns i had were that there were members getting death threats. that was something that i surely wanted to be vocal at pushing back on. but he and i talked about that. >> you know, i am thinking here the distinction between when they are doing here, and what they are doing in madison cawthorn. guns are policing. they are out. they were tweeting about the insider creating, and his son was telling a podcast about coke orgies. that he says he has been invited to, and that members in congress are participating in. and it is like, they are -- in some ways, it is like they are showing how they can go after someone if they want to, i guess is

given mccarthy expresses his worry the republican members of the house like matt gates, matt, brooks and others, should stop attacking democratic members of the house by name and some republicans by name, presumably, because kevin mccarthy feared that if the fbi reports were true, one of those members of congress could be the victim of severe or deadly violence, which, could then, be rightly attributed to republican encouragement. >> the other thing that we have to do is, these numbers are fair. whatever position you're calling out, especially in this nature. i'm gonna call him, the pension is too high, the country's too crazy. i did not want to look back and think we caused something, or remain something, like someone got hurt. i want to play politics with anybody. >> the times reports that kevin mccarthy vowed to do something about the rhetoric from his wild members, but the times also reports that kevin mccarthy actually did absolutely nothing. >> okay, the other thing i want to bring out with this phone call with the members, i just got something scent now that matt gates said th

the -- paul gosar, is matt gates, they are the avant-garde of the republican party. they will be the avant-garde of a republican majority, should come to pass. in the midterms. >> that's right. they declare themselves what they -- are not the french -- they have said over and over, we are the base. they are the base. the question they have to ask themselves is, even if mccarthy is with you today, you have now heard what he thought about you when he was speaking privately. he has lost the trust, not of the american people, not just proven himself to be a 24 karat lose a -- liar how could he know who need a responsible republican party, what worries me is there is no backstop or insurance policy against donald trump if kevin mccarthy was ever to lead congress. if the republicans were ever to be in charge after the midterms. there is no guardrails anymore. he had a test, he started to go the right weight. he started to give the right answers. and he has utterly shown us that he would fail a future test. >> yeah, i know you know this, for viewers to point out, mccarthy h

but fast forward, 8:00 tonight, fox news, matt gates giving him yet another beat down. so where does mccarthy stand tonight? >> yeah, therein lies the rub stiff. there is some sort of asymmetric imbalance here, which is that most of the members from the house gop conference, including house minority leader kevin mccarthy and house gop leadership are really tired of the antics from the far-right of their party. but, and that was evidenced in that audio that leaked, and really over the course of the past years, mccarthy has struggled to keep the party together as these members have acted out time and time again. he's had to deal with some of the repercussions. but you don't see them really going all the way in reprimanding these members. only two of them stood up in the house gop conference meeting this morning that was matt gates and marjorie taylor greene, according to our reporting as well. and they, their comments were not really received very well by the rest of their members. that being said, you don't see mccarthy and scalise speaking out publicly against them, bec

is, the these members [inaudible] >> mccarthy was especially worried about florida congressman matt gates who slumped several fellow republicans, including liz cheney, for criticizing trump after the insurrection. >> serious bleep, [inaudible] [inaudible] >> serious bleep, potentially illegal, according to the times mccarthy also not happy with alabama's mall brooks. you remember brooks, he's the guy who wore body armor on january 6th, and he talked about american patriots taking down names and kicking butt. mccarthy implied but brooks that was actually worse than trump, telling the crowd to fight like hell. >> >> another day after that phone call, mccarthy urged republicans to dial back the rhetoric. >> [noise] [laughs] [inaudible] >> don't do, it i don't know about that, because tonight in a tweet, matt gates this grab the majority leader calls as sniffling, and he accused mccarthy of disparaging trump and the republicans in congress to fight for him. not surprisingly, the states have also caught the attention of the committee member jeremy thompson. mccarthy has refused the panels requ

republican matt gates saying i'll trap this rodent. repeal of disney's special status established by 1967 law. it created a unique self-governing district around the 43 square miles encompassing disney world, an area twice the size of manhattan. as a result disney effectively has its own security force and building, zoning and fire departments. this dispute comes after protests and a walkout by some disney cast members when the company did little to oppose a bill before it was signed. disney's ceo apologizing to employees last month in a letter writing you needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights, and i let you down as for the escalating feud, maryland's republican governor criticizing desantis calling it a crazy fight. >> we have a thing called freedom of speech. >> and our thanks to kerry sanders for that report. for the kids going there they have no idea they're there for the rides. thanks for >>> if you're not passionate or you're looking for a purpose, this is now the time. >> right now at 4:30, calls for peac

i think that that matt gates is not going to be able to replicate that and i think that his yeah, it's it's just his his connection to his voters combined with his savvy. of the media and his use of the media. it's it's just something that i don't think you can replicate i'm gonna like cheat here and steal an answer from pat buchanan when i asked him why trump was the only one who had been able to do this when you pat had, you know run on these issues a decade ago decade or two ago, and he said that he thinks trump is the indispensable man. i think that's i think there's a lot of truth to that. i think that if you know ron desantis could yeah, all these guys could pick up chunks of that. but trump is it doesn't mean that trump is that trump is the is is still that singular of a force and has still that much hold over his base because you know if you look at the poles and and the way people have responded to him about vaccines, there's certainly been some slippage and i think that that is ultimately the story of my book insurgency like the gop. it's modern history has been about overthr

home again kind of moments, whether the shifting of politics and to the direction of trump and matt gatesd those figures means it's easier for her? and whether this is a natural fit, or maybe it's hard to pull off? >> well, there was nothing i wondered when i was reporting this week, that was sarah palin the canary in the coal mine? or was she an anomaly. and it turns out, she's not an anomaly. sarah palin is the republican party. i think that you don't need to go very far back into republican party history to understand why she clicks with the voters. he has always been somebody who has been seen as one of you. when she was in alaska, she clicked with voters because people saw themselves in her. she was a mom, she had five kids, she talked like them, she did have a lot of elitist areas about her, and really, that's what overlooking voters saw in donald trump. i think that what happened to her is another story as she became the 20 -- the 2008's vice presidential nominee, she lost her way a bit. but, she is now back on stage, and i think that she is somebody who needs to be taken very seri

. >> how about the dynamic with this heated moment between matt gates and steve that went down. saying in a tweet, mccarthy is not a leader. you look at gaetz, not particularly necessarily popular inside their own party in the halls of congress, right? so how much is mccarthy needing to walk the lines between them and donald trump when it comes to the navigation of this? >> he really does have to. when you're speaker, that's the only -- on the board. with gaetz, he and mccarthy have a long feud going. it's fascinating could he get into it with scalise? he knows about political violence and knows what dangerous rhetoric is. now, the thing with marjorie taylor green that's so interesting to me is mccarthy's way when there's a controversy with these members is he kind of stalls when there's a big story. with gaetz under investigation for sex trafficking or marjorie taylor green, a number of issues. he doesn't let the press rail road. he's had to do this a couple of times, they've worked out kind of an arrangement. he takes some heat for her, and then she owes him for that. so i --

who he is campaigning with two other gop notable names including georges and florida congressman matt gates both were something alongside of him earlier today. now, there's always a chance on these moderate republican voters may be considering will not necessarily embrace this kind of visit with the national figures. says he's looking to all the help he can we also asked him about his change into and when it comes to donald trump because it wasn't that long ago that he said he was not a fan of trump or the mega movement. now that is all changed. >> is not really what he said about trump six years ago was about whether or not they can trust. i think i'm telling people they can trust me. >> not to be outdone former ohio state treasurer josh mandel is campaigning with senator ted cruz holding multiple events this weekend mandel told us even though he is kind of slipped in the polls recently he still is confident his volunteers can drive out the vote in these final hours before tuesday. >> we have this army of christian warriors and christian activist pro-life activist profamily activist up the

it was between matt gates and congressman steve scalise, the number two house republican here. >> isn'that weird? >> well, it makes a little bit of sense. for mccarthy, he's sort of tethered to what trump's opinion is here. >> hold on. is mccarthy a real person or is he just a stand-in for donald trump at this point? do the lawmakers in his caucus see him as a real leader or is he just essentially -- i hate -- how do i describe it? is he just a hollowgram projecting what donald trump wants? >> this caucus is a group of people who want to be led by the ideas of the former president. he is still the standard bearer of this party. you can ask many of the people who walk the hall behind me. they're not going to argue with the fact that donald trump is the most powerful republican in the party right now. kevin mccarthy has stuck very close to him. there is very little that he has said in recent months that makes him different than the former president. when you talk about the characterizations that trump made, it sticks closely to what my sources have told me his reaction was after all this

actually, right now, is that sitting member of congress at the house judiciary committee, matt gates, who is under investigation, federal investigation of sex trafficking and underage girl. that's again, something he design. but again, if you are a party that's super heated into this, it might be a little worried about that. and maybe a little conversation with them, what's going on there? and tennessee republicans have a bill advance today that would, and i'm not making this up, and i didn't believe it when i thought so, but actually read it through, they eliminate any minimum age requirement for marriage, right now, in 2022. its minimum 17 years, and they're gonna get rid of the. now, if democrats say anything's, the right-wing would lose their collective minds, and we'll call them criminals and pedophiles. but again, there's not an actual trend interest of protecting children. it makes it so disgusting, because children do need protection. but this is a situation that renders the political opposition as salable as possible. like the worst thing you can be. it's loathsome. and they

otherwise, why on earth would steve scalise say i'm sorry if this caused you problems to matt gates if, it seems like the only time in recent memory that he's been up at arms over behavior was when madison cawthorn talked about holding cocaine fueled origies. that is the line that can't be crossed. the january 6th committee is moving quickly. moments ago bennie thompson announced they would hold their first of eight public hearings ahead of june 9th. they plan to reup their request including little kevin mccarthy to appear before the committee by the end of the week. with me, congressman erst wall. sounds like she has a lawyer and she's been talking to them a lot. she simply doesn't recall. kevin mccarthy's indifference to that lack of recollection. >> joy, they talk such a big game all the time and then when they're caught literally on audio or text message, they shrink. i don't get it. they project all the time. they call democrats snowflakes but these people are so afraid to defend what they said privately. you saw scott perry running away from another network's reporter yesterday o

to play this just because i won't, but yesterday at a house armed services hearing congressman matt gates accused general austin, our defense secretary, of failures of leadership and excoriated him. i hope you didn't see it but i'm just asking you about the way that some of our political elected officials are accusing military veterans of failing to to prevent this war and failing in its leadership of it. >> disgusting, no principles. it's almost really not worth commenting on. as a general statement it's encouraging to see mostly there's been bipartisan support of sensible u.s. foreign policy and national security objectives. i hope that continues. i mean, at the end of the day, look, we've got in the heart of europe, one of the biggest nations in europe, 40 million people at peril fighting for democracy. if that isn't an american principle of american values, exemplified by this magnificent secretary of defense, lloyd auston, with 40 years of experience with general mark milley, then i don't know what. so biden's team doing first rate work. >> thank you very much, general barry mccaffre

scott perry of pennsylvania, republican congressman matt gates of florida, and republican congressman louis gohmert of texas. perry, gates, and gohmert were all present when white house lawyers told meadows and them, that this scheme involving -- that scheme was illegal. mr. meadows kept trying for it even though they had all been told it was against the law. cnn reports today that one of those members, scott perry, texted white house chief of staff mark meadows just a few days at the election, that the white house needed to have the nsa, the national security administration, immediately sees communications relate to the voting machines. he that same day text of the white house that the cia was in on some sort of anti trump plot, and the white house needed to act against the cia as well. on the heels of those revelations, tonight, new york times reporters jonathan martin and alexander burns have released more audio from the immediate aftermath of the january 6th attack. their forthcoming book, which is released on tuesday of next week, is apparently going to be accompanied by an absol

gop representative, marjorie taylor greene, and matt gates, we're out, stumping for trump endorsed senate vance. in text messages, published by cnn, greenish again telling former chief of staff, mark meadows, she had talked to other house members about trump invoking martial law. now, the report confirms which greene refused to confirm herself on the stand. georgia voters are suing to have her removed from the ballot. >> would you advocate, to president trump, to impose martial law as a way to remain in power? >> i don't recall. >> who are denying you today, you just don't remember? >> i don't remember. >> meanwhile, leaked audio, as house gop leadership, horrified, by gates comments after the capitol attack. minority whip, steve scalise, even asking if gates threats against fellow republicans were illegal. all of this, as the january six committee, shifts its focus to sitting lawmakers, to request testimony from republicans, and both chambers. joining us now, msnbc legal analyst, and civil rights attorney, maya wylie. and, to a, michelle washington correspondent for the atlanta journal-c

you have matt gates who is paying for under age sex with girls. >> allegedly. >> you have a speaker ofhe house who is basically removed his -- photos from the speaker gallery because he did molest young boys. >> yes, he did. >> this is the party if there's any target right now, that should be talked about. and lastly, the fact they are using that to attack our lgbtq community, this is clearly homophobic. instead of saying they are coming out with their homophobia, they have to use cryptic words. at least be straight up with what you are doing. i think it is ridiculous they're using this to create more anxious against lgbtq people who have the highest suicide rate in the country. that is just said. >> well said congressman, i think you are the first democrat, maybe i missed it on tv to bring out -- a convicted child molester house speaker for the republican party. it's amazing the republicans don't talk more about it. congressman, thank you for your time, i appreciate. it >> there's tons, more so -- >> we would need a whole hour with you to go through the list. >> absolutely. >> thank y

where are they on matt gates who's accused right now of child trafficking and pornography with womeny with all of that? yet, they are trying to make this an issue to try to put this label on political opponents and i think it's despicable by them. but it shows you how far the republican party has fallen, this is the desperation that they are using to message things about pedophilia. >> this could cause a civil war in the party, what if i and so curious is that these are being weaponized against scores of -- romney, collins, and murkowski, they were all smeared as pro pedophiles for supporting judge jackson. then you have marilyn gop lauren hogan, he's being spared as pro pedophile for docking's florida's don't say gay law. and if this continues, it will have to have a reckoning within a party, or do you think it won't? >> well, unfortunately, the people that we are talking about here, the last remaining seen republicans, as i think terrell said earlier, there are unicorns. there are not many of them left. i wish that were not the case, but that's where we are. and this is some [inaud

today, representatives matt gates and marjorie taylor greene, were out in ohio, backings trump senate candidate, j.d. vance. today's tour, titled the no bs for, interesting considering all we know about congressman greene in recent days. she texted trump's chief us that about invoking martial law. it doubles down on interview requests to republican lawmakers. committee chair, benny thompson, is inviting sitting senators to testify for the first time. they sent the second round of letters to the gop members of the house, including minority leader, kevin mccarthy. new reporting for the guardian shows that the 16 committee is getting more aggressive, considering harsher methods to get answers. once reluctant to pursue pc subpoenas of members of congress, that mood is changing. >> we are talking about members of congress getting reached out to. the list will get longer. the constituents of those people will want to know, if they were amongst people who essentially tried to orchestrate a coup. marjorie taylor greene reaches out and says, hey mark meadows, just letting you know that there a

i think he's already not popular with matt gates or marjorie taylor greene.people complaining about him. just from observing trump over the years, it seems he doesn't really seem to care that much about what you say. he cares about what you do. so -- >> look -- >> mccarthy had already that things publicly that he had to go down and beg for forgiveness for. and once trump understood, i now have him under my thumb and i can control him and he'll do whatever i want, that's all that really matters. so we're getting reports they had this conversation. we'll have to see what trump says publicly. i can very easily see trump thinking, oh, this is what he thought in his conscience and he overrode it. and that is what i like in people. i like people who override their conscience. >> so even if he knows the difference between right and wrong, he's willing to put it all aside. >> i keep thinking about a focus group i did for the "new york times" in january. it was asking a group of republican vote betters the response after january 6th. and i mentioned that specific quot
