Specifically do not support marjorie greene or lauren boebert, and you know, even -- those are very red districts, youre going to end up with a republican. you can have a conservative republican woman without having a crazy, you know, very unpleasant, you know, nasty, you know, unconscionable-type person who, by the way, neither of these women are getting anything done in congress for their constituents. zippo, nothing. yet they attack people like liz cheney and john catco and jamie herrera butl...

Predetermine that he cant serve. that pelosi can pick and choose. jim jordan, is she afraid of a question from jim? is she afraid of what he might ask or fight for? hes a ranking member. not his first committee, but his second. why would she be afraid? did she set the committee itself to be one-sided? yes. more so than any select committee before, yeah, she did. we warned you from that moment in time, she was playing politics. today just showed the american people exactly what everybody was warn...

Mr. jordan is a ranking member and mr. banks also is a leader of a large caucus, mr. davis is also -- or representative davis is also a ranking member and speaker pelosi didnt object to him. and representative nells also voted to object, along with representative banks and representative jordan. why do you think there was a difference between her objecting to representative banks and jordan as opposed to representative davis and -- >> i dont know, but she has raskin who objected and asked for an...

Mccarty did choose to stand by his members. hes absolutely correct about that. whatever you think of jim jordan, he has quite a bit of support there. he used to be associated with the far-right fringes of the house gop, but he is now the ranking member on the house judiciary committee. jim banks chairs a group called republican study committee, which is aiming to push the caucus in a more conservative direction. so mccarthy made a decision that he had to stand by them and looks like this committ...

Not only in the press but for voters, too. >> mccarthy also had two other options, remember, were only doing a special committee, this only exists because republicans in the house and senate broadly oppose the idea of a select commission that would have done this in a bipartisan way. i asked mccarthy at a press conference whether he regretted trying to block the commission, he could have at least had a nonpartisan effort. now he has a wholly democratic partisan have pursued someone like a john c...

Frustrated. they see this as politics, but at the end of the day, you and the speaker are fingers at each other, so how does that help help. >> well make sure theyre protected. well go through and get the answers. >> mr. leader, on may 20th in this room, i think you told us that you were prepared to testify about your conversation with president trump on the afternoon of january the 6th. do you still stand by that? >> my phone call is out there. the question is, you make a phone call after peopl...

Flame thrower and not open to compromise and actually working across the isle. >> well, ill tell you what, will hurd was the best most rational voice on boarder issues for republicans. he understood the issue there is a border issue and immigration, as well as anybody. he was someone members listen to. cybersecurity, artificial intelligence on a policy level this is an enormous loss for the republican party and im so disappointed. in fact, will hurd is one of three house republicans who represen...

Particularly on boarder and hes a very fashirational voice on br security and border issues and, you know, certainly more i guess would categorize himself as a more moderate wing of the republican party but certainly not somebody who, you know, is a flame thrower and not open to compromise and actually working across the isle. >> well, ill tell you what, will heard was the best most rational voice on boarder issues for republicans. there is a border issue and immigration, as well as anybody. he ...

Another one which is not on our list that i submitted beforehand was in new yorks 24th district, john catco. a poll from cnn had him up double digits and thats a poll where donald trump lost. if youre looking for two moderates going into the 2018 elections, those are the ones id be looking at. >> harry, you do the math so we dont have to. thank you very much. >> weve got 70 more days of fun to go, just under. >> i cant wait to watch more of this. harry -- >> ill bring the nerd-dom. you bring the...
