with me now, california congressman robert garcia.nder what this drama between green, freedom caucus colleagues, it tells you about the priorities of the far-right in congress? >> yeah, well thank you. look, first, the republican house members are in total disarray. it's just another example of that. obviously the freedom caucus kicking out marjorie taylor greene who is usually even more extreme than they are. it's just an addition to all the craziness of congress. the truth is, kevin mccarthy has empowered marjorie taylor greene. [inaudible] it's part of their party. that's a huge concern for us. i think marjorie taylor greene, unfortunately, has incredibly damaging views. radical views that need to be stopped. so i think this is just another example of kevin mccarthy not controlling his caucus. it's another example of marjorie taylor greene not being able to get along with anybody in the congress. not even her own colleagues who aren't as extreme as she is. and i think we have to really focus on trying to get stuff done. on the repu

joining me, now california congressman robert garcia, democratic co-chair of the house quality caucust openly gay immigrant to serve in congress and we welcome you back to the broadcast, particularly on this holiday weekend, thank you for joining me. give me a sense of what you think this ruling means for a community that already feels their rights are under attack. >> thank you, look, this was a terrible ruling for the community. it's a really dark day for civil rights. for the lgbtq+ community. one thing that i want to make clear, this ruling treats our community a second-class citizens. it rolls back protected status, it allows american businesses to discriminate against our community. and the one thing that also is really disheartening, in this moment for us, is right now this community is under direct attack by extreme forces, across legislators, by extreme right-wing members of the congress. by governors across the country. so to have a supreme court takes this decision, it's really really harmful to the community. i think a lot of us are feeling a very dark time for us, what we

. >>> let's actually discuss today's developments with democratic congressman robert garcia.o talk about uaps, but obviously we have to ask about the latest developments in court. what do you make of this judge pumping the brakes on this plea deal that hunter biden had agreed to? >> look, i think the most important thing to remember is hunter biden is a private citizen, and anyone in this space has a right to have their day in court, and the judge has a right to make changes to the deal. so we have to let the process play out. i think all of us in congress on the democratic side, that hunter biden should go to the process. it's important not to politicize this issue. he should be committed fairly. if he's committed wrongdoing, he should be held accountable, and i think all of us agree on that, but hunter biden is not joe biden. the focus needs to stay on hunter >> congressman, what do you make of the allegations from the irs whistl whistle-blowers, that the u.s. attorney in this case, david weiss, made comments in private that he ultimately didn't have the power to decide if
