would not want to recognize the devastation of january 6th, who are perfectly happy there is no mention of january 6th on the tour. so we are seeing an extra in a contrast between our caucus who now nine times has voted 212 unified votes for the most talented leader in our caucus, hakeem jeffries versus the other side which has a bunch of folks that are just malcontents, keep choosing people that are not prepared to lead and of course mr. mccarthy is not prepared to lead . do you care if mccarthy wins or not? do you view him as better/different than anyone else on the menu and do you understand who else might even be on the menu? i don t know other than the three names that were called in the last series of votes, one was the former president, imagine that. it sent shockwaves through the colleagues i was sitting too, recognizing that tomorrow marks
to get there, get if majority there and replacing it s in the minds of these five malcontents with one of their own. something that they would choose. it s interesting none of them have done much at all to help get the republicans in to the majority in the house. they ve not raised money or campaigned hard or articulated a winning message. they were overwhelmed in the caucus when they had a vote on what should be the caucus cand candidate. they want to be in charge and the five of them will use the leverage they have to get this charge. you think mccarthy has given away too much to that group? they have already decided that mccarthy has exceeded to the demand that five members have to say hey, we want to have a vote on vacating the speakership here. does that begin to kneecap what he can do as speaker moving forward? i m not certain how much it
treat him with dignity and respect but i ll make the argument that we need a change in energy and change in generation. rich: biden declared today, they would be the two oldest in history. molly? molly: all right. we go now to our next guest for reaction. jose is the former dmc pres secretary. i want your thoughts on some of the things that carl just talked about. starting with what is happening in washington right now with the speaker s race. he talked about five malcontents. do you think that this battle going on with the republicans and kevin mccarthy and the speakership does weaken the republican party? they ll be in charge now. i think it does. it shows the division within the republicans as a whole but the republican leadership. i think mccarthy will get elected as speaker.
house republicans need to drag some people over the coals on this one. they have to get serious about how this could have happened. remember, we had that dhs misinformation board, clearly after 2016, there were deep state elements within the federal bureaucracy that decided to double down on all of this. they really seemed to believe that they have a right to tell us what we can and can t say, what can or can t be shared online. that s massive implications. they have talked about our sacred democracy all the time. one of the best ways to undermine is to have the federal police force policing jokes, telling people they can t make fun of the opposition party or the party in power. this is a massive problem, and we see how close and cozy the relationship was between what is effectively the intelligence community, with the fbi being a part of it, and big tech collusion, and also be woke they are malcontents, bitter about life. they will turn the fbi on you for a joke. now i know it s tru
law enforcement. so, what they ve done, for the most part is just ignore us. choose not to address the issue at all. which is cowardly. and then you ve had a few of what i call the tinfoil hats squad, the marjorie taylor greene s, the poll goes ours, the andrew clyde s, people who have made some of the most outrageous statements about that day, saying it was a peaceful protest, that these people were patriots. these were not patriots in a sense of the word. not even the most traditional sense. most of these guys, when you look into their backgrounds, they were criminals. they were people who had prior arrest for drug trafficking. there are people who had prior arrest for spousal abuse. these are not people that you typically see held high by the republican party as american patriots. they were misfits, they were more offense, and they were malcontents. but those are the people that flock to donald trump, and his, you know, bombastic approach to politics.
