deals with that caucus after the small but effective group of republicans showed impact. yanked away mid tirade against congressman gaetz. now, that process was used to take new powers away from leadership and em power mccarthy foes. in a new piece reporting that whatever everyone think of gaetz his critics across the spectrum acknowledge he must be dealt with after the speaker clash, and mccarthy allies don t like it, saying it s not the outcome they preferred but gaetz s stature has been elevated. true on house rules and visibility as well. mccarthy setbacks in this early period, they often played as gaetz s gains. there are a handful of far right holdouts and they warn they will not support him. the more conservative freedom caucus members pledged not to vote for kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy celebrating a victory that almost didn t happen. this looks like a bit of a heated conversation. this is incredible. this is an incredible moment. mccarthy is directly enga
brooklyn courtroom where newly appointed special master judge raymond dearie is showing what it means when one actually applies the law while wearing the robe. in the first hearing with the doj and the trump legal team over the review of those classified documents that the fbi seized from mar-a-lago, the trump nominated special master s message to trump s lawyers was clear. and i quote, you can t have your cake and eat it too. that came following sharp questions from judge dearie over what role they expected him to play in verifying the classification of the documents given this is controlled by the executive branch, not the judicial branch. perhaps it s why dearie directly asked trump s team to declare what if any of the classified documents trump declassified before leaving the white house. trump has repeatedly said he declassified all of them, but that has not shown up in any of the filings from his legal team. today his lawyers reiterated what they wrote in their filing l
can t have your cake and eat it, too. so there may be a rude awakening now that the special master is on the job. you might have heard me say this if you follow our coverage. there was a procedural step that the trump folks got that did slow things down, and they wanted that. the procedure is not how you win. it s not how you get out of the clear. it just is a step, a process, and now that they have to deal with this actually judge and deal with a special master and deal with what is a fact based court system, now they re having trouble. in florida, you have a chaotic start. bloomberg reported many people who dialed in did not mute their phones. bloomberg calling it a descent into chaos. people screaming at people to mute, and then someone saying, god bless america. today s hearing comes on the heal of trump s attorneys pushing back on the special master they sought and demanded, which is, if you declassify stuff, and that could be a valid defense if true, well, which things
dangerous cult as evidenced by his creepy rally for jd vance this weekend. as the new special master gets to work, why does trump seem so confident that his preposterous claims of executive privilege will hold up? plus, why ron desantis may have gravely miscalculated the politics of using migrant men, women, and children as political pawns. we begin tonight with qanon. the conspiracy driven cult born in 2016 on the idea that there is a kabul of pedophiles including prominent democrats and media elites running the world, drinking the blood of babies. and only donald trump can stop them. they also believe that jfk jr. is leading their resistance movement against the baby eating hordes. despite the fact he s been dead for more than 20 years. that bonker idea, which used to be relegated to the darkest corners of the internet, has now become mainstream in today s republican party. they even got some congress members in the faith. that was evidence this weekend at a rally in yo
he lies about it. his own son tells herschel walker to stop the lies after new allegations suggest serious hypocrisy on abortion and reveal the scam of the christian rights family values brand. trump called the three justices, he picked my justices, he asked the supreme court to intervene on his classified documents, and i have two very special guests tonight, former attorney general eric holder joins me as the supreme court hears a case with major implications for what s left of the voting rights act, and john fetterman on his race for united states senate in pennsylvania. it is getting tighter and could decide which party wins control. we begin tonight with family values. as exemplified by perhaps the most iconic family in american sitcom history. the adventures of ozzie and harriet starring the entire nelson family. here s ozzie. here s harriet. here s david. and here s ricky. here they are, america s favorite family, the nelsons. yes, that s right, ozzie and harri
