seen this but there is a heated social media war raging between florida republican congressman matt gatesas, it all started when congressman gates made these offensive remarks at a conservative youth activists summit last week. >> have you watched these pro abortion, pro murder rallies? the people are just disgusting. why is it that the women with the least likelihood of being pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. >> 19-year-old olivia julianna was one of the many people who were disgusted by the comments and she responded to grown men gates word on twitter, i'm actually five foot 11, six foot four in heels, i wear them so small men like you are reminded of your place. gates shared a photo of julianna with her 1.6 million followers with the caption, dander raised, in an attempt to publicly humiliate her, as opposed to taking offense, she took advantage of the situation and turned it into somebody -- something positive. by raising money for gen z, an organization who will -- she's already raised, wait for it, ove

i would say republican focus groups are like, i really think marjorie taylor greene and matt gates are their job because they are fighting. i see them on tv. they don't believe or even care whether people in washington actually deliver results for them. so, i think that disconnect between what we are seeing in local politics and washington is really evident. >> yeah, and that distinction between how governors are doing and how senators are doing. if you look at mike dewine in ohio, right, the way he is trying to be a republican politician versus j. d. vance. it is really quite different. i wonder how much, you know, how much the mike dewine model can hang on when the rising tide is clearly the marjorie taylor greene's and matt gates is. >> i'm pretty skeptical of that. larry hogan, the most popular governor in america, his handpicked assessor, a moderate republican gets beaten by an absolutely insane qanon person. and a primary. the republicans just give away the governorship of maryland because that is a bottom-up thing. this is with the team usa team wants, the primary voters want th

matt gates is 40, tom cotton 45, lisa, 30, eight ted cruz is 51.licans push forward young radical people, and the people fighting them are the people like biden who still think that the institutions can work like they did in the 70s and 80s. your thoughts? >> i think that somebody who is fast becoming the betty white of politics, me, i have already -- >> that's a great reference, everyone wants to be betty white, she's amazing. >> but this is how i view it. when you put those pictures of those right-wing crazies, it tells me right away, it doesn't matter how old you are. you can be dangerous at 80, and you can be dangerous at 40. the point is -- but i do think there is an important point to this poll. we democrats do have a very diverse coalition. it truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. in terms of leadership, it is true that they are getting older. i think it's easy to fix that, i think we need to have younger people standing behind the leaders, getting behind the podium, and making the presentations. look at the january 6th committee. it'

and later, matt gates's bullying tactics backfired big-time. how is body shaming helping one teen abortion activist raised over 1 million dollars? my interview with her and much more is coming up. a good saturday morning to you. i am katie phang. we'll see, or want to. the good question this morning about whether speaker nancy pelosi will visit china on a trip to asia this weekend. china said it will take, quote, forceful measures if it happens. taiwan's self governed by china claims it is a part of its territory and promises to take it back by force if necessary. for more on all of this we are joined by nbc news correspondent allie raffa on capitol hill. >> katie, nancy pelosi saving security concerns for why she could not confirm or deny whether she or a group of house lawmakers will visit taiwan during this multi day four of asia. military officials say that they are fearful that the trip to taiwan can further escalate tensions between the u.s. and china. we are already seeing things escalate. we saw chinese state media tweet on friday that

. >> welcome to the show, i'm zerlina maxwell, coming up after congressman matt gates mocked a 19 yearto raise more than 1 million dollars for abortion funds. thanks to matt gates and many americans seeking abortions will be able to get them, and get helping for them. more government text messages from the crucial days around the january six insurrection are now found to have vanished

now, it's not surprising and matt gates said this. he has said something like this before.ll likely do it again. and what i generally don't like to reward the congressman from florida with the attention he clearly so desperately craves, which was striking to me was the cheers from a crowd that reports to be the youthful future of the gop. this behavior, a move right out of the trump playbook, calling women nasty and slobs. republican lawmaker lawmakers have learned they can not only get away with this behavior, they can be lauded for it. in a newly-released video from june, matt burke, a republican candidate from lieutenant governor of minnesota, central productive rights advocates are simply playing, quote, the rape card. >> one of the arguments that probably saw 20 times online today was about rape. and you know, obviously, i don't go to the right card. but wait was obviously a horrible thing. but and abortion, it's not gonna heal the wounds of that. and two wrongs is not gonna make a right. our culture loudly but also stealthily promotes abortion. they are telling women

congressman matt gates was also part of that meeting.entioned that vice president mike pence was there as well. of course, we knew pence was at a meeting, and that doesn't necessarily mean that learning point in time, pence was in on this effort to stand in the way of the certification of the election. but often, at times, jake, when we tried it push these republican members about what role they played in what led up to january 6th, they often just seem to forget. ryan nobles, thank you so much. appreciate it. and back now with our panel. >> laura, i want to play part of what the former white house counsel pat cipollone testified to today. it illustrates just how much the former president was -- how far he was willing to go to overturn the results. >> there was a real question in my mind, and a real concern, you know, particularly after the attorney general reached the conclusion that it wasn't sufficient election fraud to change the outcome of the election, when other people kept suggesting that there was, the answer is, what is it? and

as you see, he emailed the white house, quote, pursuant to a request from matt gates, requesting a pardonfor representative gates himself, and unnamed others. witnesses told the select committee that he offered pardons to a wide range of individuals connected to the president. let's listen to some of that testimony. >> was president -- >> i believe so. >> the general tone, was that we could get prosecuted because we were in the defense of the president's positions on these things. the pardon that he was discussing, requesting, has as broad as you can describe, from the beginning of time up until today. for any and all things. he mentioned nixon, and i said nixon's pardon was never nearly that broad. >> are you aware of any issues of democracy pardons? >> mr. brooks, i know both advocated for their blanket pardon, and a handful of other members that were not at the december 21st meeting. as the preemptive pardons. mr. gates was personally pushing for a pardon, and he was doing so since early december, i'm not sure why, he reached out to me to ask if we had a meeting with mr. meadows about

but matt gates told the post he was not speaking at trump's behalf during that conversation.questions from the post about this. that's him, does this offer a glimpse of any private fears of legal trouble among some of these cosmonauts of trump? >> i think it has to, lindsey. this is a pretty extraordinary bit of audio. because remember the, time in 2019, one of the things that robert mueller was investigating was obstruction of justice. by members of the trump administration. who were trying to throw roe watson in front of the fbi examination, of whether or not the trump campaign in 2015 in 2016 came into possession of leaks emails. from the dnc, that wikileaks and julian assange had acquired. and as it turned out, stone was lying about that. they infected. trump never got prosecuted for that. and stone essentially went to the maps and did not say anything about trump. and before his three-year prison sentence even began, trump pardoned him. then you have mac matt gates, essentially, obstructing justice in order to prevent obstruction of justice investigation. i do not think

. >> perhaps mike pence didn't hear what his former lieutenant had to say about matt gates. want to discuss all of this bring pulse democratic strategist cornell belcher, he's an msnbc political analyst, and our friend michael steele, former chairman of the national committee and former lieutenant governor of maryland. mister steele, how much longer can republicans kind of ignore what is going on with trump, and this investigation? >> oh, all day, all night, into next week, next year. there is no limit to how long they can ignore anything that has to do with donald trump. i mean, that includes the vice president. i think he is missing a moment here where he can make a declarative statement, he was on the tip of the spear on january six. he stood his ground, he held firm and two to the constitution, tell that story! this party is divided as hell! morey, boelburg, and no! we are not christian nationalism! really? you are gonna go talk about that if you are running for president in 2024? come on, stop it! it's just this name stupidity that we sort of wallow in that somehow you

. >> jim jordan and matt gates, holly stepping forward. riffing. them were had a session today. >> you've got to cruise, you've got lindsey graham, you've got tom cotton from harvard law school, you've got some heavy's in the senate. >> i'm sorry we're making mars mark meadows. i told him can you go back and ask a couple of colleagues. >> there remedy was for vice president pence to remand those votes back to the battleground states. >> the vice president's got a lot of power. that's important to recognize. >> are we to assume that this is going to be a climactic battle that's gonna take place this week about the very question of the constitute nationally of the electoral count act of 1877? >> i think a lot of that depends on the courage in the spine of the individuals involved. >> vice president mike pence? >> yes. >> do you realize you are describing a coup? >> no. >> and that's where these three plots actually go hand in hand. trump intended any of them so hopefully work in his mind. but ideally, they would work together. get the states or congr

matt gates's repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. but he made sure to vote down this common sense, do good bill in congress. that does it for us tonight. now it's time for the last word, with lawrence o'donnell. good evening lawrence. good eveni ng lawrence. >> good evening, mehdi, and republicans really did that is a great title for a weekly podcast. you should get under way with that. >> sadly, it's daily these days, , lawrence hourly. we just can't keep up. >> you decide how often. but republicans really did that, that's a great title. >> it is. i will start working on that now. >> thank, you mehdi. thank you. well donald trump is now in a fight with 9/11 families. as only donald trump can be. donald trump once told the lie that i immediately exposed, which made him immediately tell him to make him stop telling the lie, that he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11. that is possibly the most grotesque lie donald trump has ever told. about himself in a personal way. he lost tons of friends on 9/11. he lost zero friends, zero friends on

i just want to pause here for a second because it is interesting and of note that matt gates voted againstuman trafficking bill. because gates himself is reported under federal investigation for alleged sex trafficking. he is with -- sexual relationship with the 17 old and paid her to travel with. him he has denied any wrongdoing. but he made sure to go down this common sense, do good bill in congress. that does it for us tonight. now it's time for the last word, with lawrence o'donnell. good evening lawrence. last w>> good evening, mehdi, ad republicans really did that is a great title for a weekly podcast. you should get under way with that. >> sadly, it's daily these days, , lawrence hourly. we just can't keep up. >> you decide how often. but republicans really did that, that's a great title. >> it is. i will start working on that now. >> thank, you mehdi. thank you. well donald trump is now in a fight with 9/11

i mean, just take a look at florida's own congressman, matt gates here, and listen to what he had topower. i will personally investigate blm, like i'm a soros funded prosecutor going after the trump organization. >> i mean, mehdi, that some pretty dark and scary stuff, not even mention or highlight that family bade qanon george soros reference he said there. but look, let's be honest, this is not a party interested in making life better for millions of ordinary americans. this is a party led by a cult of personality's, addicted to conspiracy theories. and look, i am one who takes them at their word, when they say they will unleash a dangerous and addictive assault on civil society, their political opponents, perhaps even civil servants. i believe them. and that is how they will govern, and i think we should all be terrified of that, besides those entrances. >> i think you're right. and i think the problem is, that were both terrified by them, and we find them hilarious at the same time. i talked about josh hawley at the start of my show. yeah, we should laugh at him running. that's w

out >> when you started this, out you wrote that very adorable-y snarky thank you letter to matt gatesl media. and really to all activists who actually believe that women can own our own bodies. did you expect the outpouring to be wet it has been? >> i absolutely did not. i thought we'd raised a couple thousand dollars. i had no idea that it would blow up as much as it has. 1 million was a big goal, but now we are shooting for two. so hopefully we can get there in the next couple of days. >> girl, you will be at two in an hour. you are at 1.686 million. by the time -- to tell us very quickly, where is this money going to go? you're gonna have a lot of people. where is the many gonna go? >> this money is going to go to different -- 50 different abortion clinics across the country, including indigenous rising which is the only indigenous find in the country. so they're amazing funds that are gonna be able to help the people who need health care because of these donations. so thank you so much for everyone who has donated. >> well, sis, i am so proud of. you olivia julianna, you are the w

talking specifically about matt gates in saying this. this is what he said.ikelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? i cannot even believe that this is something that matt gaetz said publicly and out loud. it is astounding to me. a leading republican governor from michigan and a hypothetical statement, the 14-year-old incest victim would be a perfect example for why we need and abortion ban. she said she would expect that girl to carry the baby to term and that she only supports allowing an abortion with a mother's life is in danger. talk about perspective here. what do you make of it? >> yeah, this isn't perspective. this is their views, which are despicable, but this is also why we have called and what the public understands are radical extremists who really don't care about life at all. i think they're quotes and others in the commons demonstrate that. it's outrageous. these people really need to be held accountable in many ways at the polls coming up. state elections are important, state houses, federal elections, peo

she's just got into it for food with matt gates. she has raised money for abortion access.does show that may be issues like abortion and climate would motivate, and maybe like somebody like you, who knew i know is brilliant but maybe a bit jaded, about whether or not the younger voters are going to turn out. what do you say to that, susan? >> those are two huge motivated issues. there is no doubt. especially abortion. with 50% of this country having their rights taking away, i think it should be a huge motivating factor. but again, we still have to use history as a little bit of our caution. and also i think that, while the money being raised is great, and it is not hard to -- money is available to candidates, and i'm happy that people are giving on the issue of choice. but at the end of the day the people who tend to show up, especially in the midterm elections. and that's the other, thing this is not a presidential election. this is a midterm elections. it is a lot harder to turn out what we call non-primary voters. >> jonathan, quickly. you and susan are going to stay fo

saudis for answersss about a mass shooting committed by a saudi flight student that happened in matt gates's district at naval air station pensacola. in december of 2019. the attack killed three sailors and injured several k others tht gates serves in the united states congresss. ngressman, tha julia carson, thanks so much for coming on . so why would the saudi government have something to say abouthing this? saudi arabia has been involved in two terrorist attacks on american soil, 9/11, where they provided material supportja to hijackers and at naval air station pensacola, whereck, as you said, one of their flight students was notrl properly vetted, was not k properly monitored and then killed three american service members. now, joe bidenrv. is so intent t kill american energy that is in turn financially helping the very people that i think a responsible for killing americans. i do not believeve that t the world's superpower should travel halfway around the globed so thate we can beg some ferrae bedouins who shoot at our sailors for oil. but we do. and the reason we do is because joe biden

we m have a report with matt gates coming up later in the program. pro14 specific times. joe met with hunter's farm business partners.rs every american should be angry a not only about hisng failure asa president, but the fact that he lies and everyone else around them tells the same lies today in a bizarre moment, biden insisting that ungrateful americans are all ungrateful. u you're only complaining about the economy because they have jobs instead ofte eight thousand dollar checks from the government. it'scks your fault. take a look. i but i started thinking about just, you know, somebody who's raised a middle class kids one year even though you didn't have the job you have now, you know, you didn't get a raise t that year. the differencerenc between havig a job, having a five percentav raise or whatever , three , five , seven , , whatever it happens to be in the face of inflation price att the pump, although that's down every day so far . but you know, it's like, whoa, i feel worse off. a but then again, i didn't get a check for a grant from the government. they just a
