Ch change. The types of things youre looking for change. Is austin the right person to handle rooting out extremism for the military . He absolutely is. Secretary austin is someone who because of that experience and because he came up through the ranks and served as an officer, first africanamerican secretary of defense, he does have a unique understanding of the challenges that we face here. I think theres some very specific things that he needs to do and i think he understands that. I think he understands that he needs to be more intrusive. We need to be more intrusive into the lives of our service members. I think he understands we need to be absolutely sure we are using the uniform code of military to prosecute people on active duty who engage in these activities. And i think he gets we need to fully understand the full nature of the problem. s important to point out the vast people in the military are not interested in this. They want to do the right thing.

There was none of that for congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green who for years has spread lies and conspiracies rooted in bigotry. Greenes no longer the outlier in her party and the pervasive spread of lies, much of it on social media, has trickled down to exploit fears. When President Biden was sworn in i was just crying. I mean, i couldnt stop. It was that ugly cry that you do, just kept going. I was like, oh, my gosh, im seeing the funeral of our country. I went into panic mode. I called my mom and i told her, were all going to die. Were going to be owned by china. I might have to pull my daughter o you the of school because theyre going to take her. I was scared to death. Thats someone who does not believe the lies anymore but she wasnt forced to confront reality until trump left office. The spreads of qanon and likeminded conspiracy groups have left those outside the party looking in. So today republicans will have to go on record about what kind of party they want to have. More fro
Actually lead to increased mortality. And the jury is still out how these vaccines are going to work against these variants. Reporter this is new day, with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. Its thursday, february 4 tth, 6 00 here in new york. A moment of revelation for the Republican Party overnight. Days ago, it was mitt romney who said, our big tent is not large enough to accommodate conservatives and kooks. Days ago, it was Mitch Mcconnell who said, loony lies and Conspiracy Theories are a cancer for the Republican Party. But last night, it was Kevin Mccarthy, the House Republican leader who said, essentially, hold my beer. No action against Marjorie Taylor greene, the qanonsupporting House Republican who endorsed the execution of democratic leaders, harassed School Shooting victims, called Mass Shootings a hoax, reportedly trafficked in antisemitic propaganda about jewish space lasers. No action.
This. Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy made the claim overnight he doesnt even know what the Conspiracy Group qanon is. He might want to check the tape from january 6th. Some of them invaded his office. Or do a oneminute google search. Meanwhile, liz cheney got an earful from her gop colleagues but she survived an attempt to remove her from leadership because she dared to vote former President Trump for inciting that deadly insurrection. The final vote was 14561. And it was conducted in a Secret Ballot, meaning the republicans who stood behind her can remain anonymous. Joining me now is republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, an outspoken supporter of liz cheney. Outspoken in the suggestion that Marjorie Taylor greene should lose her Committee Posts. Congressman kinzinger, thanks for being with us. You had a heck of a night last night. How would you describe what happened . So, i want to put this up front. I dont reveal details from conference because but what ill tell you last night wa
Viewers in the United States and all Around The World. This is new day. And House Democrats today plan to strip Marjorie Taylor greene of her Committee Assignments. The vote will force republicans to go on the record to either publicly support or rebuke this controversial qanon supporter in their midst. There was a highstakes meeting of House Republicans last night and Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy declined to take any action against greene, though she has never publicly apologized or recanted for supporting the execution of top democrats, shes never backed down from any of her violent rhetoric. But it was liz cheney whose fate was uncertain last night. The number three republican managed to keep her spot in leadership surviving calls to oust her for voting to impeach donald trump. Overnight, the House Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy also claimed that he did not know what qanon is. You might want to ask Kevin Mccarthy, who knew exactly what it was in august. You could also ask his po
