that's why myles taylor is on. this is a national-security question. i want to play a little bit more of her interview with savannah guthrie. and she is talking about kevin. about kevin mccarthy. and what kevin mccarthy did, subsequent to, for a moment, telling the truth about the insurrection. the next thing he did was to fly to palm beach. take a listen. >> leader mccarthy's visit to the former-president mar-a-lago was really stunning. you know, given what the former president did, he is not just former president. you know, he provoked an attack on the capitol. an attack on our democracy. and so, i -- i can't understand why -- why you would want to go rehabilitate him. >> can you understand why mccarthy, kevin, would want to rehabilitate him, david? >> weakness, joy. so, listen. the only thing worse than a liar is a cowardly liar and that's what we are seeing across the board. you see many republican members of congress, who are more fearful of losing their own primary than this country losing our democracy. and i agree with myles. this is a grave na

former trump official and author of "anonymous," myles taylor will join me live. >>> we want to start with breaking news that's been developing all day. president biden in the oval office, a rare saturday workday for this administration as it deals with its first big international crisis. we have learned the president has spoken to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and palestinian authority leader mahmoud abbas, in the wake of what appears to be a stepped up offensive by israelis targeting gaza. israel bombed a refugee camp in gaza killing ten palestinian family members, including eight children. in response, hamas militants shot rockets at tel aviv, plus this breathtaking moment playing out on live television. watch this. >> certainly from our contexts that building is where al jazeera's offices are -- there we are, another strike on that tower -- and the tower has come down. that is the al jara tower. that tower is where al jazeera's offices are warehoused. the "associated press" offices were us on housed in that building. whenever you see journalists doing live updates fro

you had myles taylor who broke some news on the show. he was the author of "anonymous" and he suggested there might be time for a new republican party. here's what he had to say. >> if we can't try to fix it, we're going to go try to create an alternative that aligns with common sense conservative principles. >> are you talking about forming a new party? >> well, look, that's not out of the question. our first message is the cavalry is coming. it's going to be incumbent upon us to look at whether there needs to be in some places around this country a new conservative party. >> he says the cavalry is coming. would you join that cavalry? >> well, kendis, i've never changed my party affiliation. i think we have two parties in this country, and they both need to be strong and healthy and viable, otherwise we become a one-party state and that's an even bigger problem. but i do think that this initiative from miles and other conservatives is important. and i did sign my name to it. why? because it's a commitment to the truth, to facts, to the

letter that has been written, something that's been signed by a number of republicans, i know myles taylorf an entity to challenge the republican direction as it is right now, does the gop have a plausible way forward to could embrace trumpism and true republicanism, traditional republicanism? would that work in any way? >> well, i am very familiar with what miles is doing and the organization. and they're taking a multipronged attack to the situation which is to say there is no simple solution. we have to keep fighting for our principles and go where there's opportunity to either grow with that philosophy or perhaps get involved in races or other things. but it is important to keep having that voice heard, because it resonates with others. and there is a group on the ground that doesn't buy into trumpism but feels they don't have a home at the grassroots level. so this organization i think is going to do something tremendous by offering people a place to go and using their vast network. >> and to what effect, david? how successful can it be, this group? >> i applaud what my former colleag

to help answer, myles taylor back with me again who also the anonymous author of "a warning" writtenring his tenure in the white house. and lucy caldwell. former strategist and political campaign manager. myles, you're the returning champ here. you authored this letter so i'll start with you. you and i disagree on a lot of things in the republican party and, look, i think the party has been problematic for a long time. i didn't see anything in this letter about, hey, we don't want to see voter suppression happen. we're denouncing the xenophobia sections of racism in this party. other than disliking trump, what exactly does this new initiative or would this new initiative stand for? >> well, tiffany, i hate to correct you, but the letter actually does reference a push back against xenophobia and specifically references wanting to push back against voter suppression efforts. those are obviously things we stand for, but this is a movement that's about defending our democratic institutions. you and i definitely disagree on policy issues but the place where americans are united is wanting

. >> joining me now is myles taylor during the trump administration.right to it. i'm curious what exactly the gop stands for these days because i have to say you and i have talked about this, these problems did not begin with trump, you know? this is the only republican party i've known and i'm just curious where you stand with the party today? are you still a republican and what is the platform of the party? >> tiffany, it's a great question. i'll start off by saying, look, i am still a republican, but i am hanging on by a tiny thread because my party has gone from a cohort of people who believe in principle to a cult of personality around donald trump. the republican party of today is almost irrevocably broken and you just hit on it. you saw the exclamation point at the end of my sentence with the insurrection at the capitol and you would have thought the leadership would praise rational people in the party and instead we've done the opposite. we saw them praise people like marjorie taylor-greene and kevin mccarthy, the minority leader in the house p
