good for you, markwayne mullin. arrr! arrr! you go ahead. for the republic, you snap into a slim jim. this is real. this is our country. at the end of the day, mullin explained that this is exactly what he was sent to washington to do. >> i mean, what did people want me to do? if i didn't do that, the people of oklahoma would have been pretty upset with me. that's how i was raised and i'm supposed to represent oklahoma values. >> stephen: yes, who can forget the oklahoma state motto. "no mercy! bite his sack!" oohh! klahoma... it's not surprising that violence is a selling point for the republican party. and g.o.p. hopefuls for 2024 in fact are already adopting the strategy. just look at this new republican primary ad. >> it's a tough time in america and we need common sense solutions to real problems. problems like punk ass commerce people whose kidneys need a visit from my elbow. i am patricia corker, known to my enemies as stabbing pat. i spent ten years as a public school teacher and 20 in super max for a crime i pled guilty to because i

wayne mullin. >> i wouldn't want to mess with mark wayne mullin.ugh, but it seems that the witness who has this long history of taunting him with tweets and that's completely unnecessary and then bernie sanders keeps inviting him in. bernie knew this was going to happen. >> do you think there are any concerns with what mullin said at all. mark wayne, you saw the video, he read tweets from that witness from that labor leader, union leader. he read the tweets and he said, look, you have challenged me. here you are. do you stand for it or not? so it just seemed like the witness was a bully and he was called out on it. >> but this marks about ten weeks of intense time during this congressional session. a lot of members are eager to get out of town. the house could be out of session as soon as tonight. the senate potentially tonight or tomorrow tomorrow as members are eager to get out of washington and made a very, very difficult, tense and tumultuous period in the capitol, kate? >> i'm surprised how bar arasso defended mark wayne mullin. you can defend

this penalty is called on senator mullin. >> kayleigh: amusing to watch.t virginia come out of dagen. i thought west virginia. >> i don't mean that disrespectfully to people of west virginia, they can fight, too. morgan ortagus we knew he was serious when he touched the ring. he's going to go there, take his wedding ring off. >> like taking your earrings out. >> kayleigh: to this, mayor adams struggling to pay for the migrant crisis gripping new york city, you will not believe what he's asking parents of schoolchildren to do to save city money. feeling ughh from a backed up gut? miralax works naturally with the water in your body to help you go... ...free your gut. and your mood will follow. for 8 grams of fiber, try new mirafiber gummies. let me be direct... you're watching football wrong! what do you call a guy in face paint that can't get the game? ...a clown! sorry, what app was it again? no, no. just give me a second... amateurs. ohhh! sorry, everybody. directv sports central gives you access to every game... ...so you never have to compromise on game

no, excuse me -- >> i will say -- >> senator mullin i have the mic. if you have any questions on economic issues, go for it. we're not here to talk about physical abuse. >> reporter: afterwards, mullin said he didn't regret it. >> i didn't start it. i didn't go after him. i have no beef with the guy. i mean, i don't even know the last time i've gotten in a street fight. >> reporter: meantime over in the house today, says former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy elbowed him in the back. >> it was a clean shot to the kidneys. >> reporter: mccarthy denying it saying they were in a narrow hallway intimating he only brushed past him. >> if i kidney punched him, he'd be on the ground. >> he said it was intentional. >> that hallway was -- there's plenty of room. you could walk four side by side. he chose to do what he did. >> reporter: elsewhere on capitol hill. >> that is bull-[ bleep ]>> you're doing stuff -- the american public have questions. why should they believe you? why should they believe you? >> reporter: devolving into name-calling between chai

this is senator markwayne mullin, again, senator markwayne mullin on newsmax today, sort of making arical reference as to why it's totally fine to come to blows in the u.s. senate. let us take a listen. >> could you guys go barnacle if you want to do? >> you know the rules, and he smelled the cane. you can remember president henry jackson challenged nine guys to a dual, and won nine times. and a guy one-time, jackson jumped up, ran across the table and knock the guy out. so, at the end of the day, there is precedence for, if that is something with someone wants to do. >> just a word on precedents, andrew jackson, if republicans are taking their cues from the presidency of andrew jackson, houston, we have a problem. secondly, they got he was skating, i believe was abolitionists charles sumner. talk about two chapters of american history that are probably not where you want to be drawing your marching orders from, jamele? >> yeah, i don't know if i would want to -- i don't know if i'd want to compare myself to president brooks canning of charles sumner. it really was this major event i

. >> neil: you heard from senator markwayne mullin on this.he guy that he was talking about, sean o'brien, the president of the teamsters. kind enough 0 join us. sean, good to have you. what did you make of what he said that you kind of started it? i have two sons that are maybe younger than both of you gentlemen. that's the kind of stuff that they say. >> yeah, i mean, it was bizarre. we were at that hearing to testify. we had the privilege of being invited to testify in the value of unions and how we can work together. i used those hearings as an opportunity to hear the different side of opinions and see how we can adjust and work together. it was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen. first, he said we're contenting adults, which is bizarre. sounds like he wanted to date me. then he asked to fight me. i'm hearing now he wanted the white me. the last post he maim is from of a cache of out weapons. you won that date me, fight me, bite me or shoot me? it's crazy. we're there to tell our side of the story and get some feedback and maybe devel

we're not expecting mullin to suffer any consequences here. but some republicans have said he should be setting a better example as a united states senator. while other republicans have sought to defend him and turned the blame on the witness. let's listen. >> i would have bludgeoned the guy for a lot of things he'd said, but i wouldn't have gone as far as markwayne. >> i wouldn't want to mess with markwayne mullin. he's tough. but it seems this witness that has a long history of taunting him with tweets. that's unnecessary. >> you can only be young once, but you can always be immature. >> reporter: for his part, mullin is not showing any remorse for his behavior. in fact, erin, he is doubling down and he is also fundraising off of this incident and selling t-shirts. he is a former mma fighter, so in some ways being a fighter is part of his brand. but this is just one example of how the decor m on shil has really deinvolved in recent years, where this behavior is not only tolerated but it is also incentivized. so, certainly not the finest mome

shocking and disturbing exchange today was in the senate hearing between republican senator markwayne mullin of oklahoma and former mma fighter and the president of the teamsters union, sean o'brien. senator bernie sanders was even forced to step in as referee. please watch this. >> if you want to run your mouth, we are two consenting adults, we can finish it here. >> okay, that's fine, perfect. >> you want to do it? now >> i would love to do right now. >> you stand up. >> hold on. >> no, no, sit down. you are a united states senator. >> okay, okay. >> sit down, please. >> bernie was not having it. and neither should we. i know it's funny and crazy and we laugh and we roll our eyes at these grown men that are behaving in such a ridiculous way. but it is also deadly serious. and it should be called out for what it is, dangerous. we must demand more of our leaders. and on that note, i wish you a peaceful and a good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late. see you again tomorrow. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tonight on all in. >> reports of, tonight, do i hi

i'm pro mullin and not just because he calls into the best radio show in america. am i right?that gutfeld. they love him. >> greg: tyrus you know what i love about this? everybody wants to confront the person who tweets, like so the guy had tweeted -- the bald guy had tweeted the other guy and the guy finally got him in front of him. everybody kind of wants to do that. >> tyrus: yeah. listen again like the previous thing about drugs obviously no one else if here has been in a fight. so when he said get your butt up. >> greg: yeah. >> tyrus: and the bald's guy rebuttal was no you get your butt up, the fight is over, okay? because what happens is, if someone says to me get up, i'm going to get up because that means it's go time. if i didn't want to fight i would say no you get up. and if he got up and walked to me, now you're being childish. after that was over the bald guy gave bernie the biggest hug in the world, thank you so much. because he ran his mouth. and when the guy said you want to handle it right here, he had nowhere to go. his body language. he never took his hands

but mullin went to the cameras and said he's not done with this. take a look. >> keep in mind this is not anything new. andrew jackson challenged two people, or nine people to a dual when he was president and also knocked one guy out at a white house dinner. maybe we should bring some of that back and it will keep people from thinking that they are so tough and make us sit at a table and we can actually work out our differences without poking at each other and wanting to run to cameras and call people names. >> so apparently he wants to take us back to the era of andrew jackson and also bring back cainings? what is that? >> look, there has been a coarsening of american politics. it is clear, you know, donald trump is responsible for a lot of that. you know, he uses his language, threatens people, you know, deserves -- >> he makes it okay kind of in a way. >> you know, also remember like things are different now. after january 6, we can't dismiss these kinds of incidents. i saw fist fights in the past, drunken member, stuff like that. it didn't get

-- >> it was. >> senator mullin was trying to fight a witness in today's hearing. he went to the point of taking off his wedding ring i loved our capitol hill reporter said was the equivalent of taking off hoop hearings, he was on tv tonight talking about his response to that. i want you to listen to what he said. >> keep in mind, too, this isn't anything new. andrew jackson challenged two people or nine people to a dual when he was president and also knocked one guy out at a white house dinner. there's been canies before in the senate. maybe we should bring some of that back and keep people from thinking they are so tough. >> maybe we should bring some of that back? >> i'm not sure that that's really the answer. in his case, if you go back, he has had a very tense and very hot relationship, not just tense, hot relationship with the teamsters president whom he almost threw down with today. the teamster's president was tweeting and kind of egging him on which is what spurred what happened today. kaitlan, you will appreciate this. when all of this was going down, the

believe it or not, what i played you there, with markwayne mullin and sean o'brien, was not the only hearing where we saw a republican member of congress up on the dais and microphone explode today. there's another one. all the same day. i'm just giving you today's recap. this tuesday, house oversight committee chairman james comer cannot contain his anger when confronted by democratic congressman jared moskowitz about a report that calmer made 200,000 dollar business deal with his brother. that comes amidst comer's accusation that president biden's business dealings with his own brother james when biden was out of office. >> never alone my brother money. don't have an -- but you and goldman, who is mr. trust fund, continue to no, i'm not gonna give you. stop the clock. you all continue, you look like a smurf. you're just blowing around on this stuff. >> mister chairman, hold on, we're not on time,. >> you've you discount. >> you're doing stuff -- >> the american rather the american public -- >> you want to. >> why should they believe you? it is devour of the president, a deferral fo

joining us now is oklahoma senator markwayne mullin. senator mullin, thank you, sir. >> hey, larry.ing, since september opec plus has basically taken about 20% of current oil production out of the market and at the same time oil prices have fallen. brent crude has fallen and you know this very well as a oklahoma senator, west texas has fallen and retail gasoline has fallen. >> right. larry: i wonder whether you have any intelligence, any thoughts on what opec is going to do, obviously now we're in the middle of a raging war between israel and hamas and i haven't heard much from the saudis or the opec plus crowd, so what you think? >> keep in mind the reason why the fast prices have dropped because we went from a summer blend to the winter blend which is cheer to make and cheaper to blend. when you start looking at opec, the cartels at opec, they are, they are essentially going to hold americans hostage or basically apply sanctions to the american people over their disgruntled views on israel and the war going on in gaza and this shouldn't be happening, larry. if you look at it right

union boss who referred to mullin as a clown and a fraud as they went back and forth.he first time, they saw each other face to face and decided, let's do it now. that's sean o'brien, pride of men massachusetts. on the other side of that confrontation. yeah, this was, as you, say this worked up on social media. we saw the senate there start to pull off his rains because he was gonna throw down. but it can't be said, it can't be said enough. credit to bernie sanders, who immediately said, called him out, you're in united states, amateur were better than this, called into recess. it eventually cooled down, except it didn't, because the senator later went on a television interview last night suggesting he's happy to throw out at anytime. not at all that he would back away from a physical confrontation. his defense senator mullin said in that interview, back in the 1850s, you would cain each other of you disagree, you would just beat each other up. we need to go back to senator sumter in 1856. >> fyi, he says markwayne is one name. >> it's like ricky bob these two names, b
