to ted cruz, josh holly, matt gates, taylor greene so let me talk a little bitabout those epistles . >> i just think it's important in life just to call it like you see it. nobody has a perfect view of truth but there is a thing called truth out there. and it has become so elastic in the world of politics of late that it's incredibly disturbing and i think upsetting for a lot of relatives folks out there who are going about their lives and hoping the process is indeed watching out for them. so you take the example of jim jordan. this is a group in the freedom caucus of which i was a part initially who was very much opposed to trunk. but then they completely with the exception of justin amash who's out of congress flipped and became absolutely subservient to him. that's not a little bit of rotation on an issue based on new information or based on input from voters. it is just raw, crass pandering. and i thought it was particularly disturbing with people like meadows or jordan or mulvaney from my homestate . i remember mulvaney talking about love, if it takes shutting down the governme

but would a speaker trump pave the way for lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, matt gaetzhip positions and the thought of that, how dangerous a prospect is it? >> it's very serious indeed. i mean, i think that for most gop leaders, they want to be perceived as being a mature and responsible governing party but if donald trump were in such a position where he's literally in charge of the house and overseeing the committees and overseeing leadership positions and he starts rewarding his allies, extremists like matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar and others, you're looking at a situation in which the house republicans would be even more radicalized than they are right now so i think for democrats looking at this and weighing their campaign plans for 2022, i think this is an important element. i think that not only does it light a fire under the democratic base but it tells independent voters and swing voters, look, republicans are going to be pretty extreme in 2023 if they're in a position of majority and so 2022 midterms will be determined whether or not tha

what he predicts could very welcome to pass mat matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar made it clear where they stand on a number of issues including our democracy. they stand for vile videos and the attack on the president of the united states and stand for bogus conspiracy theories about jewish space lasers. they stand for devotion to a disgraced twice impeached one term former insurrection inspiring president. let's bring in our correspondent's reporters. jamie gangel and legal analyst elliott williams. jamie is ready to go. you have an exclusive every night. i love you for it. thank you for coming on, elliott. bring us exclusives. we'd love it for the show. >> all i can say, don, if you think donald trump was furious about mark meadow's book, get ready. according to the committee, we have learned that among more than 6,000 pages of documents that meadows voluntarily handed over to the committee are messages sent and received during the riot. text. emails. calls. while the events of the erection -- excuse me. after 40 years i can't believe i did that on tv. insurrection was

all of the kind of code words that those members, the members like marjorie taylor greene or matt gates use. they talk a lot about election integrity. election integrity, of course, is code in maga world for the belief, the false belief that the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump. a lot of them are younger. marjorie taylor greene and steve bannon have talked about this. they want to create a new generation of trump supporters, and so they're going after kind of essential casting, a lot of white millennial men, college athletes, veterans, they sit apart and kind of talk the talk. they speak in kind of broad populous terms about the working class, the way that donald trump did, but they also really engage in those culture wars. they talk about transgender laws and critical race theory, immigration, a big thing still, the border for trump and maga world. so those are some of the things that trump and his people in congress are looking for in these candidates. >> so if, you know, colby, you look ahead to the year ahead of us and republicans do manage to take back the house next year

much more conservative voting record in support of donald trump than those people like matt gaetz, marjorie taylor juanita, how should democrats handle donald trump going into the midterms with one caveat and maybe not have terry mcauliffe in charge of messaging? >> i feel like starting out in 2022 -- you already have your villain, and it's not trump. keep in mind he's not on the ballot, so he's not going to generate that level of suspension or fear or anger that we saw in 2020. i think you can directly juxtapose it. your villain is gaetz, taylor greene, boebert, gosar, all the people who are identified as the most extremist parts of the gop who are trump approved and trump adjacent who are spouting violent rhetoric, harmful things every single day, day in and day out. that is your villain. and that clip i saw circulating on social media of gaetz saying this is what's going to happen when we take power, that should be cut and included in democratic ads in districts across the country. show people what republicans plan to do if they get power, to mobilize them to get out and vote in the midterms be

matt gaetz, marjorie taylor green, lauren boebert, paul gosar, among those having a press conference.he insurrection saying they were treated unfairly. at the event, congressman gaetz said he still likes the idea of donald trump as speaker if the republicans win the majority. they poke their own leadership and they just say things that -- forgive me -- are not american, not patriotic about people who stormed the capitol building. >> yeah. i think what you're seeing is they're trying to say that they're the ones defending that. the idea of trump being speaker is not seen as realistic by anyone. it is something they keep pushing, that you see mark meadows push, steve bannon originated the idea, he pushed it heavily. that's obviously not going to happen. it does show back to be what dan crenshaw was saying about what is the point here, what is -- what do they prefer to talk about, what do they prefer to be on the news talking about this. the problem i think of lauren boebert staying in the headline poses for nancy pelosi is she is continuing to get pressure over how she's going to respon

perry not considered someone in the same camp with matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, and others, yet >> all right. thank you very much. >>> well, this new reporting comes as "the new york times" and "washington post" report that the rnc -- the republican national committee -- has agreed to pay to $1.6 million in personal legal bills for donald trump as he faces multiple investigations. out front now, danny everhart, a major republican donor. so, dan, three weeks ago, you and i spoke. you knew about $121,000 in legal fees for the former president the rnc was going to cover. you were frustrated you said and now you found out they are actually -- they have agreed to pay $1.6 million in personal legal fees for the former president. wow. >> yeah. look. i think this is a freight train out of control. the president -- you know, i don't necessarily think he needs to pay for this out of his personal expenses but he has got a campaign fund, a super pac that has nine figures in it, more than $100 million. when i give money to the rnc, when i give money to campaigns, they are to win the next ele

this party now is becoming about the marjorie taylor greene , matt gaetz, they are for the right and and he will be cannibalized by them just as he cannibalized what used to be the republican party. the cycle repeats up until either they run themselves into the ground or someone in the party stands up and says enough is enough, let's take back the republican party towards a more mainstream approach. >> even if he ceases to be the organizing principle, how does any national republican stand with trump? what do they stand for? that we have seeing people like liz cheney trying to do that with when they do that, they don't end up running again, they take their time and go home. what we will see in the coming years are all of these many trumps running for congress and the type of primary, the candidates were going to see. there's all this doom and gloom , let me tell you something. republicans are fully capable of nominating such right wing lunatic extremist that they alienate themselves so much from the mainstream that they won't have a chance in november. always people make their pilgri

margorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, lauren boebert, how low can they go? and they use it to fund-raise and it's getting worse, and it affects society and all of us. yesterday, i was at the funeral of a former congresswoman, lived to be 95 years old. first african american woman elected from florida after reconstruction. there were republicans sitting there. they it used to not be this way. there used to be respect for the institution, and people didn't go there to troll each other on twitter or offend each other from the floor of the house. >> all i'm saying is at some point, you have to be above it. you have to take the high road and lead by example. i'm not sure if it is. i'm just saying i could be wrong, i'm not sure if it is responding to every single idiotic thing that someone like lauren boebert or matt gaetz, or whomever says in the party. i think a better strategy is to push the leaders of the party to do something about it, tell them that they need to do something about the folks in their party rather than give -- >> don, your point on this, don,

do you think folks like marjorie taylor greene, matt gate, paul gosar think they can attract new voters or are they just playing to their base? >> they're just playing to their base. i don't think they are in any position to attract voters. as a matter of fact i think kevin mccarthy is worried about them turning off voters because they are not the voice of most republicans right now within the gop. they are the extreme extremists. yes, there are still a lot of extremes. i won't play that down. but they're really the looney tunes of the bunch. they are the worst messengers for 2022. that being said, i think that the select committee need to be a little careful on releasing timelines and promising things to the public because we know they're not very good when it comes to self-imposed deadlines. so i think they need to be careful there. >> so, juanita, let's asuper the public hearings are going forward and i think there is a general feeling they have a lot of information there to sort of put out the narrative of exactly what happened based on information in real time. we have texts, you k

this can't be a party that is the slogan for limbo rock marjo marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, howno bottom and use it to fund raise and it gets worse and worse and affects society and all of us. yesterday i was at the funeral of kerry meek, former congressman kerry meek lived to be 95 years old. first african american woman elected to florida after reconstruction. there were republicans sitting there. republican colleagues of her, one of the people that spoke poin ygnantly because it used t not be this way and there was respect for the institution and people didn't go there to troll each other on twitter or offend each other from the floor of the house. >> look, all i'm saying is at some point you have to be above it and take the high road and lead by example and i'm not sure if it's responding to every single idiot thing that lauren boebert or matt gaetz says in the party. i think a better strategy is to push the leaders of the party to do something about it, tell them they need to do something about the folks in their party rather than giving in. >> don, your point on this, don,

taylor greene and dr. gosar and myself doing everything to get the answers to these questions. >> the list of names. but guess what? what he predicts could very well come to pass. matt gaetz, jim jordan, margorie taylor greene, paul gosar. they've made it very, very clear where they stand on a number of issues, including our democracy. they stand for violent videos that appear to show the killing of a colleague, an attack on the president of the united states. they stand for bogus conspiracy theorys. they stand for on devotion to a former president. let's bring in now our correspondents, reporters. jamie, you have an exclusive every night. i love you for coming on elliott, too. bring us some exclusives, we would love it. >> all i can say, don, is if you think donald trump was furious about mark meadows' book, get ready. according to the committee, we have learned that, among more than 6,000 pages of documents that meadows voluntarily handed over to the committee, are messages sent and received during the riot. texts, emails, calls, while the events of the election -- excuse me, after 40 years, i can't believe i did that on tv -- insurrection was happening. the recor

now he's learning that, that this party now, it's becoming more about the hawthornes, matt gaetzes and marjorie taylor cannibalize the republican party. it's a cycle that will repeat itself over and over again until they run themselves into the ground or someone in the party stands up and says, enough is enough, let's take back the republican party toward a more mainstream approach. >> one more for you, kurt. on this very point, even if trump ceases to be the organizing principal of today's republican party, how does any national republican step away from trump? what do they stand for? >> this is the thing. we've seen people like liz cheney and adam kinzinger try to do that. for those who do that, they take their ball and kind of go home. we're seeing right now the interesting things that will happen in the coming year. all of these right wing wanna-be mini trumps and the type of candidates we're going to see, there's already doom and gloom by democrats saying they're going to lose the house. let me tell you something, jonathan. republicans are fully capable of the right wing extremists that they've a

marjorie taylor green, matt gaetz are two people that have been -- >> not those two.hter] >> right, right. but in addition, in addition to that, if you have -- i don't care if they were democrats, i don't9 care if they were democrats or republicans, you have evidence that on the 5th of january, the day before this happened, that there were conversations about bringing in the national guard to do a recount, about having a state of emergency, about defying the constitution of our nation to prevent an election from going forward, an election of a president and to usurping the will of the american people and the american voters. that is beyond disgusting. and, honestly, every american should be ashamed of any elected official who would do that, left or right. and when the evidence comes out, there needs to be decisions by voters and certainly by members within these individuals' own party. howard: well, speaking of the evidence, kat, i've got about half a minute here, is the committee playing the press by putting out a couple of texts a day to generate a fresh round of he

november in the congressional midterms that he does not have to worry about the marjorie taylor greenes, the matt have for the speaker ship. >> indeed, the minority leader is trying to quiet trouble from fringe members of his party. we will go back to that word in a minute as democrats talk of punishing another one of them. a private meeting mccarthy held today with his caucus. he said he would not give oxygen to those he suggested earp seeking attention, thanked the majority of members who haven't made themselves the spotlight of head line and stressed that the house is a serious deliberative body, not a junior high. mccarthy has yet to publicly condemn any of the members aside from liz cheney, who has expressed an interest in saving democracy. thankfully, still us with, two gentlemen interested in the same goal, eugene robinson and mike murphy. mike, i picture kevin mccarthy getting up in the morning pitting on the rather bright blue suit he favors, looking in the mirror and saying, good morning, mr. speaker. is there, in your view, a chance he misses this brass ring? >> there is a decent shot.

to ron desantis in florida and maybe one extra slice should go to congress member marjorie taylor greene and mattou? who else should get a slice? >> it's got to go to kevin mccarthy for me because this is a guy who's watching all of this play out, but he is singularly focused on power. everyone has told him the republicans are going to win next year, and he is tuned out any sense of moral righteousness because all he cares about is becoming speaker of the house. so, if marjorie taylor greene wants to stand up there and say something that's crazy, she can do it. if lauren boebert wants to stand up there and lie and say things that are crazy, she can do it. if people in his own caucus want to stand up there and say the election was stolen, he's not going to stand in their way because at the end of the day he wants everyone to think that next year, if the republicans manage to win, whether it's through redistricting and gerrymandering and whatever, he wants to be speaker of the house. he'll make that deal with anybody. >> even though he was the one on the phone screaming -- >> call off the insurrect
