sit on each one of these house committees. and then that panel will decide whether or not certain member lived up that code of conduct. whether not jeffrey sense of participating in that, whether not that ever comes to fruition. is really immaterial to this debate. but i do think, had a broader conversation here is, that kevin mccarthy made this promise. as he was running for speaker of the house. the hard-line republicans in his caucus thought this was important. he once again sided with them, as opposed to siding with the more moderate voices in his caucus, who thought that this is just a bad idea. and set a bad precedent for the rest of the work that needs to be done in congress this year. brian we saw you speaking to kevin mccarthy today. how has he rationalize that they are focused on internal investigations, taking colleagues of committees, and not the three things that they ran on. remember the premature drumbeat. inflation, immigration, crime, we heard all, day every day on,
that s tonight s last, where the 11th hour stephanie ruhle starts now. tonight, the chaotic start to this new congress. republicans ran on inflation, immigration, and crime but they are focused on fights, internal vaccinations, and stunts. today removing the presented of a lot and when mark from a committee assignment. then the former president feeling the pressure. a potential new charges for his already jailed money man. and the gun country. the fresh push for more people to legally carry just as we get results of the first federal gun crimes reported in decades. as the 11th hour gets underway on this thursday night. good evening once again, i m stephanie ruhle.
like the last congress where we have somebody from all committees. i ve had democrats commits me telling me we are writing it much better. despite what kevin mccarthy says to the cameras. the debates before congresswoman omar removal showed just how divided the houses have become now. this is about keeping someone with a long record of antisemitic and anti-is real bias of the foreign affairs committee. this is just a bunch of races gaslighting, we all know. it we cannot let the boys this ideology of antisemitism permeate into policy decisions. don t compare, looking at us for antisemitism. look in your own damn mayor before you ever come over here. our comments have compromise a bill to the house foreign affairs committee to conduct its official business. this is about targeting women of color. in the united states of america. don t tell me because i didn t get a single apology. when my life was threatened. thank you. can you imagine getting in these kind of fights in y
responsibility. the s idea that we can just do it, willy-nilly, with no restriction, with no permit, with no check. that is craziness. no responsible firearms owner believed that that is a way to go. and yet, here we are. let s talk about congress, because on what planet do we think we are going to get federal gun reform when republicans actually happen a ban on gathering guns and a committee room. excuse, me yesterday. so they want to have the right that they can carry a gun and a committee. if you really want to be in a room with owen boebert. with matt gates carrying guns. excuse me, but i think we ve got some problems, right? i don t know where we re headed. i love the sort of symbolic, we have the reality that american flags lapels have been replaced with ar-15 the piles. by some of the people in congress. i don t quite know how to enumerate how crazy this is. but this is not where decent, responsible, freedom loving, patriotic americans are. this may be where the far fringe o
the world. comments omar has apologized for. when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position, around the world there conference that was make. she soon served than. this news showed out after mccarthy came to democrats, adam schiff, and eric small will, on the intelligence committee. democrats call retaliation after they took to republicans from all their committees for incendiary rhetoric to the last conference. sign so far of an increasingly bitter divide. like this heated clash in the committee hearing this week. it s hard to take that claim seriously. if, in fact, individuals who in any way supported the insurrection against the united states. it can certainly be disqualified other members. mccarthy argues things are better than they were in the. past how could it would be confident that you be able to get things done? because, this is nothing like the last congress where we have somebody from all committees. i ve had democrats commits m
