we re talking through all the memos. i don t want to break all expectations i want you to follow it, to be on the floor, i want the anticipation i want you to see, i want you to see as the clock goes up i want you to write stories like teetering, whether i can win or not and the whole world hangs in the balance. or that s what you want kevin is still playing a dangerous game, joking about a debt default while refusing to specify what it is he wants to cut. his chaos caucus, meanwhile, grows more emboldened to make a spectacle out of, well, everything plus, the brand-new super pac that wants to help america move past the gutter politics of marjorie greenes and lauren boebert s and matt gaetzs. and ron desantis has put all his chips on fighting woke, going mia from its state as it endures an actual crisis, but surprise, he s getting the pudding squeezed out of him by donald trump when it comes to florida endorsements but we begin tonight with the kevin mccarthy caucus.
marjorie greene and her online fans you re al dealing with fox we just had a young man named quintin ludwig, the grandson of the man who shot that little boy, ralph yarl in the face and head, and then shot him again. this is what he said about how his grandfather got radicalized. take a quick listen. feel like a lot of people of that generation are caught up in this 24-hour news cycle of fear and paranoia, perpetuated by some other news ully into that, would sit and watch fox news every day blaring in his living room i think that stuff really kind of re-enforces this negative view of minority groups and leads people doesn t necessarily lead people to be racist, but it re-enforces and galvanizes racist people olivia, you were in the homeland security department you were in charge of things like counterterrorism.
continue this outrage, complete outrage, where china is poisoning america s children poisoning our teenagers, poisoning our young people how long are you going to let this go on let me assure you that we re not letting it go on we are fighting no, i reclaim my time you re a liar. reports say that some republicans were supposedly furious about that outburst, but marge doesn t seem scared of repercussions. she doubled down on her obscene remark on the twitters why should she worry if there s one thing we learned from kevin mccarthy s leadership, it s that there is no bottom, whether it s lying or racism or an insurrection, you can pretty much get away with anything under his leadership. joining me now is california congressman eric swalwell. congressman, you know, i do have to ask, marjorie taylor greene started out as a qtuber and an online trol, and apparently, that s still her job, except now
it does seem to me that a lot of politicians who followed in his wake think they can replicate that, but they re not celebrities. but they re getting a kind of celebrity out of doing what they re doing. how do you break that chain? it s permeated throughout i think that s the problem it s the grift and they get the click bait and they re raising the money. and that is one thing, where i think it s important to take a stand against these people because they re raising money, and they spread it around. they play as a team. it s important to remember that. that s also what we re up against. so i think when i look at these candidates and look at marjorie taylor greene, i saw her doing the wave down there at mar-a-lago on indictment day remember that? she was doing the walk the red carpet down there like she was a celebrity because she thinks she is she s not serving her community. she s not serving the people of georgia at all she spends more time mudslinging at hearings like we just saw
first because you took the heat of trying to run against that woman. and so i guess the question i guess to ask all of you is, is it even possible to dislodge people like marjorie taylor greene when people who have seen her, they know she s an internet troll, they know she follows teenage shooting victims around on capitol hill and that she s not wrapped too tight, and they still voted for her. is it even possible to dislodge someone like her you tried? i tried didn t get the outcome i wanted. but what s the alternative throwing our hands up and not doing anything allowing fascism to take hold in our country? we can t do that we have to try we have to bring this fight and educate people in those districts about the dangers of the radicalization of people like marjorie taylor greene and her fascist greene team lineup pushing all over our country my question is how do you do it i ll start with you, olivia. you re not just dealing with
