congressman seth moulton of massachusetts, a member of the armed services committee. >> congressman, good. >> to have you here. let's just start where ken left off. bongino. now, the number two at the fbi, this is someone who's been peddling conspiracy theories for years. in 2018, he said, quote, my entire life right now is about. owning the libs. >> congressman, how. >> are you looking at. >> this pic and what it means for the nation's top law enforcement agency? >> well. >> the point is that trump is politicizing everything. he's injecting his maga politics into every federal agency. and if you know people. >> who work. >> at the. >> fbi who. >> are consummate professionals, people like friends of mine who i. >> served with in. >> the marines, who now do this incredibly important law enforcement job for the nation to keep our. to keep us safe. they're horrified. >> by this. >> kind of politicization. >> you know. >> they're professionals who show up to do. >> their work. >> every single day, not to play politics, but to ensure our national security. so that's. >> the. >> irony here

but you could see some democrats like seth moulton, for example, urging his party to maybe take a different stance or at least have that tough, uncomfortable conversation about the issue going forward. >> yeah, uh, julia, um, how do you anticipate, you know, on capitol hill today when you, you head up there to just kind of do your day job? uh, we're still in this kind of unrelenting world of trump. i mean, there's gaza there's still the tariffs. i think that is still an important story. there's obviously this. how do you anticipate and we saw democrats yesterday rallying to oppose elon musk running government. what do you anticipate is going to be the focus today. >> you know it's a good question because even before i went to bed, i saw that a number of obviously usaid employees were placed on leave. look, this is all about flooding the zone from the trump administration. like i said, we're looking to see what message democrats put out. is it a unified response? are they divided on this issue? but also, i think it's i'm also curious to hear what republicans have to say. remember, after that

the democratic congressman seth moulton of massachusetts. all right. no one needed to be firing senior military staff last night. but that's what what both congress and the president should be working on is a budget. in fact, meeting at least once a year to appropriate funds that are collected as taxes by the government is congress's one constitutional responsibility. and that process is off to a very rough start. in the 119th congress, early friday morning, after an all night session, the senate, not the house, where the budget is supposed to start its tumultuous life, passed a budget largely along partizan lines. with one exception the sometimes libertarian senator kentucky from kentucky, rand paul, who voted with all democrats and independents against it. the senate budget has a lot of issues with it. despite all this talk of doge and eliminating waste and fraud, this budget isn't giving you more as a result. unless, of course, you earn a lot of money and you're in desperate need of a tax cut. it sure does spend a lot of your money on immigration en

maxine dexter, congresswoman -- congressman morgan mcgarvey, debbie wasserman schultz, reeves, and seth moulton, whoever among them is here. rep. dexter: thank you. i am congresswoman maxine dexter , extremely honored to be one of the 70% of physicians in training who trained at the v.a. medical center. i was the chief medical resident at the denver v.a. for a year, and all of you who serve, taken care of, and received care in any v.a., know what the sign says when you walk in, "the price of freedom is visible here," and i saw that sign every single day going to care for my patients, who i had for every several years, and it is absolutely antithetical for every one of us who believes in paying serve as the sacrifice of our veterans that we will be cutting the services, cutting the staff, and cutting all opportunity for our veterans to receive the care that they deserve. it is clear, as the senator just said, trump does not care about veterans. he cares about chaos, he cares about corruption, and he certainly does not care about you. if he did, he would not be gutting the very programs that vete

seth moulton, former marine corps infantry officer, talking about the firings in addition to generalrown, the navy's top officer, also the military's top lawyers. moulton tweeting: dick today or -- dictators or wannabe kings fire those who don't believe believe with their views. it's the definition of politicizing our military, and we should expect to see loyalty oaths not to the constitution and worse coming soon. vice president j.d. vance firing back at moulton saying, quote, a little history lesson saying truman fired macarthur, obama fired mcchrystal a, banana republic according to this very thoughtful congressman, a little sarcasm can. it's not just changes in the military but also apparently with doge, encouraging elon musked to do even more posting this morning, elon is doing a great job, but i would like to see him be a little more aggressive. remember, we have a country the save and, ultimately, to make greater than ever before. elon saying, will co -- will do, mr. president. another executive order barring illegal immigrants from receiving federal benefits, also mike speake

seth moulton, as well. i know he is funny but they are afraid to show it.don't want to show personality. now you have gavin newsom with his new podcast, he thinks he is going to be the savior of it all but we know why they are having a talent drought. they basically cannibalized a generation of young leaders to pave the way for joe biden. and i think they are paying the price for that over and over again. we will talk about it in the next block about the cover-up. because they decided to not go with the passion of the party with bernie sanders, trying to do something safe with joe biden, you ended up with the results you got in the biden administration and it swung everybody the other way. >> judge jeanine: jessica, the democratic party has fallen out of touch with most americans and i think even people within the democrat party think they need to be more moderate, but part of the problem is they don't allow open debate. there are certain issues, if you are not in support of those issues, and you are an outcast. what are they going to do to kind of open it

. >> first of all, seth moulton great you think we need to change. how? i sat next to him on a panel on another network talking about the biological men playing women's sport hurt his party. i asked him on air. do you change positions or tone? he said i don't know. you need an answer for that. you can't say those things you have to figure how to change. hakeem jeffries has negative charisma. he was saying it was a bad weekend in terms of the nix. have charisma. that's the first step. aoc, a lot of difference with her. at least she is interesting to listen to and speaks like a normal person. >> harris: the knicks had a tough one. football then if we play. why are the democrats acting like an overly injured football team with bad coaching? that would be for you, fred. >> wow, okay. i like that. i will take a little personal point of privilege. they are playing like southern university. but that being said. >> harris: you'll have to call them and talk. wow. >> the reality of it. democrats we are still struggling at this point in time for a voice. there is a

congressman seth moulton was maybe the first person, right up there with one of the first calls i made. we served in school many years ago. we overlap in the marine corps over the same period of time. he pulled more combat tours than i did, than most pulled, four, in the marines. he has been a member of congress and a real leader within the four country caucus. delighted to have him here. congresswoman chrissy houlahan joined the caucus and became the founding vice chair. she's the only member of congress to have the distinction of serving in two particular forms, one in the military as an air force officer and the other as as teach for america alumnus. one of the areas we like to focus on is extending service opportunities for americans. it is an area where the parties come together. congressman brian fitzpatrick, served in ukraine, cochair of the problem solvers caucus. he's also the cochair of the ukraine caucus. it was so moving to hear from our front lines. i believe that him and congressman dan crenshaw where the first two members of congress i am aware of who went to ukraine aft

some, like congressman seth moulton, are calling for the party to simmer down with the outrage. >> i think we should be. >> so focused. >> on the outrage at what he's doing, because guess what? people elected him. a majority of americans elected him to do what he's doing. >> others, like senator angus king, are sounding the alarm. >> this is a constitutional crisis. it's the most serious. >> assault on our. >> constitution in the history of this country. what's it going to take for us to wake up? and when i say us, i mean this entire body to wake up to what's going on here? is it going to be too late? is it going to be when the president has accreted all this power and the congress is an afterthought? >> my panel is back with me. this is going to be a story that is going to evolve and take twists and turns. and by story, i, of course, mean how the democrats are going to figure this out. this being the message and this being the actual. response and pushback to things that they fundamentally believe. certainly in the case of angus king, who is technically an independent, who caucuses

even congressman seth moulton, who's been critical of the party, was on with me last hour saying, yeahsible and not enough. but for ken martin, even this morning on morning joe, before he embarked on this tour of key states, he was asked about questions on policy that plagued democrats during the election, specifically on trans and gender policy. and he sort of avoided the issue as a central focus, instead just saying, well, we're going to do an autopsy of what went wrong. time is of the essence, right? i mean, can democrats avoid this conversation much longer? >> listen, it's not a difficult message. donald trump promised to bring down grocery prices on day one. he made that promise in august. every single part of your grocery bill has gone up since he's been in office. that is something that affects you whether you're trans or you're straight, or you're a man, or you're a woman, or you're black or you're white or you're latino, it doesn't matter. we have to start speaking to people on their own terms. he is dismantling our democracy, and the fact that we're sitting around having to t

joining us now is massachusetts democratic congressman and armed services committee member seth moulton. he visited ukraine during the war. he's also a marine combat veteran of the iraq war. congressman, um, i just what is your response to president trump's comments on ukraine's president zelenskyy calling him, among other things, a dictator? >> you said it very well. i mean, he is echoing putin's talking points. it's as if to go back to your history lesson about president roosevelt. president roosevelt had started giving hitler's talking points for invading poland. or if the president had blamed the united states for the attack on pearl harbor. this is truly unprecedented in a in american history. and it's dangerous. it's dangerous for our national security, because if trump goes around supporting our adversaries, supporting dictators who invade sovereign countries, then at some point they're going to invade countries with security guarantees from the u.s., and american troops are going to be fighting and dying. >> there are those who support the president who argued this is some sort

joining us now is massachusetts democratic congressman seth moulton, a marine corps veteran and member of the house armed services committee. he also traveled to ukraine during the war. so, congressman, president trump said that ukraine is unlikely to get all its land back and not going to be allowed membership in in nato. both of these are things that the kremlin would have wanted out of any negotiation. is it clear to you whether the u.s. or ukraine got anything from russia in return? >> it's pretty clear that they did not. i mean, trump and hegseth literally appeared to be negotiating on behalf of putin. they're trying to sell us on the things the kremlin wants. and it is everything wrong with running a good negotiation. i mean, it violates every principle of negotiation you can imagine. i mean, first of all, he's saying he's desperate for a deal. putin knows that trump is desperate for a deal. he promised the end of the war on day one, and he's already broken that promise. so now he's scrambling to get a peace deal, and he's selling the house before he or he's giving away the house

here's what representative seth moulton, himself a veteran, said about this decision. this is the definition of politicizing our military. and that's dangerous not only for our national security, but for the fundamental tenets of our democracy. the people who control the military, the high ranking officers, including the adviser to the president, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, if that person is just political acting not in the interest of the united states, but in the interest of one man who wants to be king, then that breaks all trust with the troops. >> so, you know, you're hearing this criticism widely. and the issue here is, of course, this. >> is unprecedented. it's not just that. >> it's the chairman. >> who is removed. the head of the. >> navy was removed. >> the first. >> female head of the navy, admiral franchetti. >> then also other senior. >> military officers were all removed in one step. >> and then also all the. >> military judge advocate general. the lawyers. >> who oversee military cases and military. >> courts were removed. and there wasn't

and i want to go now to the democratic congressman seth moulton sits on the house armed services committeeerved four tours as a marine in iraq. and, congressman, i really appreciate your time. i just want to start with a moment that really stood out today, which which i mentioned, which was president trump refusing to call putin a dictator. today is not a controversial thing. um, but but he wouldn't do it. i just want to play again for you. what? he said. >> president zelenskyy a dictator. would you use the same words regarding putin? >> uh, i don't use those words lightly. i think that we're going to see how it all works out. >> congressman, why do you think it is? president trump is willing to call zelenskyy a dictator and not vladimir putin. >> because trump is selling out ukraine to russia. and this is just truly an unbelievable turn of events. i mean, the fact that we're three years into a war that at first many people predicted wouldn't happen, and then everyone predicted russia would win in a few weeks. it's absolutely remarkable that ukraine has held on for three years. what no one

i do wonder what you think about certain democrats like seth moulton, for example, who has voiced hisdiscomfort as a parent with his young daughters competing against trans athletes. he's not the only democrat who has voiced those concerns. what's your response to them? >> it's incredibly it's incredibly upsetting and disappointing regardless of one's political party. when people make such drastic and, uh, uh. impactful decisions about our participation in sports without actually knowing or speaking to transgender people, i think what the real issue here is a lack of education, combined with the fact that both the media, social media and political rhetoric has really influenced the way that cisgender people think about, talk about, and treat the trans community. and we're seeing that play out not just in sports, but in other areas of our lives as well. >> chris mosier, very much appreciate you coming on and sharing your point of view. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> still ahead, there's new radar data that could offer more clues on what caused that mid-air collision near reaga

. >> joining us right now is democratic congressman seth moulton of massachusetts. it's good to see you, congressman. and on the purge that continues, you actually have an op ed out this morning about the administration's purge over at the pentagon and the dangers of moves like pushing out senior military leadership with no cause. let me read it for our viewers. in part, you write, the issue is that trump doesn't care about the rule of law, so he doesn't want military officers who do care about it getting in his way. and that's the difference between a monarchy or dictatorship and a democracy. another term for what trump is doing is blatantly politicizing our armed services. but right now it is not stopping. he is not being stopped from those moves. what do you think the real impact will be on the military? >> well, the devastating impact would be if long term, the troops lose faith in their leadership. they lose faith because they believe that people were promoted not out of merit, not out of a commitment to service, not out of the fact that they take an oath to de
