this week. i am a man when he dean, let s get started. here is the problem with the republican party of 2022, there is no limit, nothing is out of line, nothing is too extreme for them. sure, there can be public outcry, there can be condemnation, there can be some strongly worded letters, but it doesn t stop the gop from going for broke. even if it means completely and totally deviating from the core values and principles. that s what we are seeing with the florida republican party. they re blind march towards extremism has led them to abandon both long-standing political philosophy and actually their own voters. it s equal parts fascinating and frightening. look how quickly small government have embraced out and out autocracy. by now, we are all familiar with florida s don t say gay law. it sparked quite the backlash as it aims to erase entire groups of the pushback was so significant that even businesses started condemning the legislation including disney. although we sho
started. tonight, we begin with a wild 48 hours of capital insurrection developments. lots of news to cover. and we start with late last night. we learned that a former white house official actually warned trump s chief of staff, mark meadows, who has become the center of all of this, days before the insurrection, that the events of january the 6th could actually turned violent. nbc news has reached out to meadows attorney for comment, and that new evidence comes from a 248 page court filing from the january six committee. that filing also details just how deeply involved the republican members of congress were in devising a strategy, with trump and his aides, to overturn the 2020 election. we re gonna have more on that in just a moment. of course, we d be remissed if we didn t talk about the other massive january six related development this week, kevin mccarthy supposed true feelings about trump and the attack, actually caught on tape, in his own words. the authors
