membership of this caucus, but marjorie taylor greene and the other founders -- i mean, marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz, like, what could go wrong, right? they -- they need to do something that distinguishes themselves at this point from trump while also rolling behind trump to a considerable degree. and so, there's an architecture and a structure here contained in this document that, while a lot of it sounds pretty loony and, you know, as i said before, i think, you know, kevin mccarthy nailed it in calling it what it is, you know, at least it's some kind of a -- gives them some kind of guide posts going forward for the kinds of legislation that adherents to this philosophy might want to back, and it, you know, it also clearly is also going to be a fund-raising document, and a fund-raising structure. she's already, as chris said, been quite successful in that vein, and certainly intends to try to continue that, and they need some kind of vehicle, some kind of structure for that going forward. i suspect that's largely what's going on here. >> so, susan, anne says also to separate herself from tru

what we're seeing from people like gosar, taylor greene, and matt gaetz, is they're holding on to theoesn't accept that other people live here. you can make money off of that, but you can't win an election that way. a lot of the gop is about individually raising people's profile and raising money, not governing. >> can i just play for you, the former prime minister of australia was on cnn, and did a really extraordinary interview. i hope people have seven minutes to watch it. but i want to play a little bit about what he said. jason said it's great to make money off of this, here's what this gentleman, mr. turnbull said about newscorp. take a listen. >> it does not operate as a conventional news or journalistic operation any longer. its influence in the united states and britain, in all of the countries where it is to be found is now utterly partisan. what murdoch has delivered is exactly what vladimir putin wanted to achieve with his disinformation campaigns. turning one part of america against another. what they've created is a market for crazy. >> and, you know, what i found fascin

when he had individuals in his own caucus, you know, taylor greene, gosar, matt gaetz, doing the most not just dog whistles, but outright-racist comments. he hasn't made any move to remove them, to censure them, or to even reprimand them. so, how dare he, at this point, have a discussion about maxine waters? he needs to look at his own caucus, and clean up his own house. >> just in terms of what she said, though, is it helpful, at a time like this? i mean, i -- you know, if a conservative republican had said that about, you know, a rally of pro-trump protestors, a lot of democrats would, no doubt, say, wait a minute. they are telling people to be confrontational with police when they're on the streets. is that really helpful? >> i think, what maxine waters says was that we should confront the system that's created the individuals have to being out there to protest. >> she didn't actually say that. >> that's what we need to -- that's what we need to confront, on a regular basis. that, you know, police officers are killing our children. i have four sons, that i worry about all the time.

. >> the gop has become the party of marjorie taylor greene, steve king and matt gaetz. they are not even the party of reagan or john mccain. this is a big difference between what the republicans are in washington, d.c., and the democrats led by joe biden, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, where we are trying to solve problems on behalf of the american people such as the rescue plan, and we're working on the american jobs plan, where we will create i believe at least 15 million good pays jobs. hopefully these plans to create the jim crow caucus are really going to be abandoned, but this is a persistent challenge until republicans of goodwill thank day, jim. >> thank you, congressman. appreciate it. >>> stay with us. ♪ no matter if you're young or old, tall or small, there's nothing more important than your health. that's why we redesigned the doctor's office for real life. you can book a same or next-day appointment, in-person or remote. get 24/7 care over video chat at no extra cost with our app. and request prescriptions in just a few taps. and with all that, you can spend

the power within the republican party is still with that wing, the marjorie taylor greene wing, the matt gaetz wing, the trump wing. >> we've got now with us nbc news investigative reporter tom winter. this was borne out of a probe into a florida tax collector named joel greenberg. we learned yesterday that he is likely going to take a plea in the case against him. where do things stand on that front? what does it mean for matt gaetz? >> reporter: a couple people have reached out to me. there was a story and some reporting that he pleaded not guilty. he had to, jeff. that's the process at this point. he was handed a superceding indictment and he had to enter a plea. you're not going to say you're guilty without the benefits of a guilty plea agreement with it. that's why today happened. as far as the discussions going forward, that's something they hope to wrap up. i would say by early may. they set a preliminary deadline of may 15th to come to a conclusion with an agreement or a trial. that's where things stand as far as discussions. the attorney for greenberg made it very clear yesterda

mcconnell is trying to distract this from all this matt gaetz problem and all the marjorie taylor greene war for christmas earlier. >> a lot of these are distractions from serious issues. i think that's really important. let me ask you one other thing because i know a lot of people are talking about this and thinking about this. the original new york times 1619 project included a core claim that the u.s. reserve aleutian was launched to maintain slavery. they issued a clarification s saying it was not the primary motivation for colonies. t that can be part of a curriculum but not its core. please don't do this. we'll all regret it. what is your response to that? >> i mean me and everybody went to school is regretting the history we were taught where the sellers were the heroes and the natives were and we swept them off the land because they did not know what they were doing with it. there is still talk of different parts of the country where the slaves were happy and they had food. i regret all that. whatever we are talking about here, history has not been taught accurately in this coun

jim jordan has said that he stands with matt gaetz as well as marjorie taylor green, the controversialso said she supports him. but other than that, his defenders have been few and far between as he maintains a defiant posture and appearing in public for the first time on friday at a rally called women for america first. he's appearing with trump supporters. he of course has positioned himself as one of the former president's staunchest defenders. at this women for trump event, it is actually occurring at a trump property as well. he's fund-raising and maintaining a defiant posture. >> potentially what could these allegations mean for gaetz's committee assignments, which include the judiciary committee? >> reporter: that he would be removed ahead of time. house republican conference rules require that any member indicted on federal charges automatically lose committee assignments from the last congress. if that would have happened to matt gaetz, he almost certainly would definitely lose his house judiciary committee post and face a lot of pressure among republicans to resign. at the mo

. >> well, at least marjorie taylor greene is in matt gaetz's corner. >> don't forget jim jordan. >>you. thanks for reminding us of how we got here. >>> all right. coronavirus cases in the united states are going up as parts of europe head into an easter weekend lockdown. the latest on the pandemic, next. alright, i brought in ensure max protein... ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't (grunting noise) i'll take that. yeeeeeah! 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar drink, play, and win big in the powered by protein challenge! so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. >>> the u.s. added more than 78,000 coronavirus cases just yesterday. the seven-day average is o

brian, i'll say she's not wrong because i hesitate to agree with anything marjorie taylor greene says, but i think matt the head in saying that there is still a leader in the republican party especially when they're looking to chart this course on policy and pivot away from dr. seuss and other cultural awards, especially when they're trying to tap into the base that president trump riled up and trying to make grounds in 2022. i will say marjorie taylor greene is not wrong that them actively avoiding trump right now is not the best move. when you have a twice-impeached, single-term former president here, he is somebody they fully intend to tap into. that's why we see mccarthy going back to mar-a-lago. that's why we see marjorie taylor greene introducing the first male caucus. even though that was a failed rollout, they know it resonates with their base, resonates with their voters. because that base is really a call to personality. >> matt, we're going to give you 60 seconds of gloating time about texas gaining two congressional seats. new york, california, not so much. talk about the political importan

i hesitate to agree with anything marjorie taylor greene says. i think matt hit the nail on the head, the fact that there is still a leadership within the republican party, especially when they are looking to now chart this course of substance and policy and a pivotal way from dr. seuss and other culture wars. especially when they are still looking to fund-raise off of trump, and tap into the voter base he rolled up. really trying to make grounds there in 2022. i will say, marjorie taylor greene is not wrong that they actively avoiding trump is not the best move. when you have the twice impeached president single term former president here, he is somebody that they fully want to jump into. that's why we see her going into mar-a-lago, marjorie taylor greene. the america first caucus introducing it, even though it was a field rollout, it's something you know resonates with the gop base, and resonate with their voters. that base has been trying to really be responsive to nicole's personality. >> matthew, we will give you 60 seconds of gloating time about texas g

. >> well, matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene?, that's all in the same boat for me, but yeah, i hear what you're saying. look at the virginia -- i wrote about the virginia governor's race and i'm sure jake is covering this as well. you've got these -- this republican primary going on where there is this woman, amanda chase, who's running as trump in heels and then you have these supposedly kind of mainstream business guys who are running against her and the mainstream business guys are in on the big lie and they're both running, you know, they both leaked to fox news their election integrity plan about how we got to fix the election integrity in virginia, where joe biden won by ten points. i mean, there's no -- there's no even reasonable, plausible way to state that you have to be concerned about the fraudulent in the election in virginia. so, i do think that the big lie continues to be where the heat is. will that be true next year? i don't know. but i also think that as jake said, these guys see this as a game. and kevin mccarth

saw it expressed in some articles, you know, a few months ago that folks like marjorie taylor greene or paul gosar, matt gaetz, these folks that have really extreme views and use rhetoric that i think is alienating to huge chunks of americans, right. that they're kind of a benefit politically to the democrats. but the other side of that is the more those people are empowered, the more the party drifts that direction, there is more of an existential threat to the democratic project we're doing here. do you view those people as a political asset to you? or would you rather see them not there and replaced by people that might actually be less polarizing and even more popular, but less committed to this anti-democratic vision? >> listen, before i'm a democrat, i'm an american. and, you know, a threat to our democracy, the threat to the way we live is something that we all should have high on our priority list. you know, dr. king in his letter from a birmingham jail had a quote that lives with me. and he said, we will repent in this generation, not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people,

congressman matt gaetz tweeted that he was joining marjorie taylor greene in this caucus.t the justice department is investigating whether or not he had a sexual relationship with a minor, whether he paid for her to travel with him. we'll point out that matt gaetz has denied all allegations. he has not been charged. the investigation is still ongoing. but this week, i know, olivia, that you talked to several house republicans who came back to the hill for the first time this week since the break and also since the news broke and you asked about gaetz and his political future. i'm so curious to know what they told you. what are their thoughts on that? >> this was sort of political kryptonite. no republican lawmakers that we talked to really wanted their names attached to a story talking about matt gaetz and alleged possible sex trafficking with 17-year-old. we saw a republican member running down the hallway when he realized the question we were going to ask. we had some people saying, who? as a reaction. so, they really want to get away from this, and it also sort of encom

. >> the gop has become the party of marjorie taylor greene, steve king, and of course matt gaetz, that'sblematic. they are no longer the party of lincoln. they are not even the party of reagan or john mccain. and this is a big difference between what the republicans are in washington, d.c. and the democrats led by joe biden and kamala harris and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, where we are trying tosoever problems on behalf of the american people such as passage of the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan. >> still, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is walking back claims that she's launching this caucus, amid backlash of members of her own party who did not support what the proposal said. >> we appreciate it. thank you. alex burns, national political correspondent for the "new york times," and cnn political analyst. thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> let's take that jumping off point. good morning to you. based on what we were hearing there, two very different viewpoints in 24 hours from marjorie taylor greene's office. on friday saying you can expect this america first plat
