to make sure that disinformation is not disseminated around the country finds out, finds out that the laptop is real and that you have 51 intelligence officials, a presidential candidate and every major social media company claiming that the hunter biden laptop is disinformation and they stay silent. they do not correct the record. with two sentences they could have stopped all of this. maria: by the way, it was the same day that john ratcliffe appeared on my program on fox business to say this is not russian disinformation. >> so they go with the 51 who say that it is, and they leave out the sitting dni. >> exactly. the retired guys get the last word, and that's where all the press went a too because they wanted it to be true. maria: yeah. i want to talk about accountability. one reason i think this keeps happening is because no one's getting any, you know, consequences for this bad behavior. i'm talking this morning with breitbart politics editor emma jo morris and "wall street journal" columnist kimberly
week. >> what else are freedom caucus meetings if not fiery. what's fascinating about this story is one of the reasons that marjorie taylor greene is being ousted from the freedom caucus is because she's almost been too cozy with kevin mccarthy. i mean just track the evolution of mtg for a second and explain to me why this is worth losing the freedom caucus in the short run. what could she gain in the long run from this? >> she came in to congress as a fire brand, very controversial. a lot of members were very upset since the speaker race since she supported kevin mccarthy and one of his vol allies. she spoke about the debt ceiling. she's been attacking others on twig over some of their votes and decisions there. definitely no shortage of tension between her and some of
[crowd chanting] fuck antifa! [shouting, grunting] - [screaming] - talk is cheap. talk excites, and agitates, and inflames. and talk binds you to a personality and often a point of view. - despite commie-crats gnashing their teeth about it for-- - we've now gone from partisan news to sort of hyper-partisan news. oan, breitbart. all these smaller and smaller silos where you get more and more of an insular political view. - you can go back decades and years to think that the role of news is simply to present x, y, and z, and let people make their own decisions. and that's fair, but that reflected a very different time in our country. - i'm a big fan of the "new york times," but i can also see when they're going off the rails. you know, at times, they become cheerleaders, and when media becomes part of the cheerleading squad, that's where you have a problem. - one of the challenges has been this tendency
win an election? can he win an election? >> yes he can. the question is he is he is the strong gets to win the election. i don't know that answer. but biden anyone can be biden. can biden beat other people? yes biden can beat them. on any given day. >> trump reportedly fluent at the blasphemy, and mccarthy made a frenzied effort to rocket all back. according to the new york times he called for the president to apologize. mccarthy also offered an exclusive interview to breitbart, where he said that donald trump was both, stronger today than he was in 2016. mccarthy's damage control is a clear attempt to keep together his fragile right wing coalition in the house. but does it underscore the deepening of authoritarianism within the gop as well? let's ask a professor of history at nyu and author of strongmen, from mussolini to the president. thank you ruth, for joining me.
howard: kevin mccarthy tried to remain sort of neutral when asked in a cnbc interview whether donald trump could win the general election. >> could he win an electioning? >> yeah, he can. the question is, is he the strongest to win the election. i don't know that answer. howard: hours later after a call with the former president, the house speaker walked back his comments in a statement to breitbart. the only reason biden is using his weaponized federal government to go after president trump is because he is biden's strongest political opponent as polling continues to show. i spoke earlier with susan ferrechio, chief political reporter from the washington times, and olivia beavers who covers capitol hill for politico. susan, olivia, thanks for joining us. susan, the media have pounced on this controversy involving kevin mccarthy, of course, and
several sources telling "the new york times" that mccarthy's conversation with trump was an apology. >> mccarthy has supported trump, generally speaking, throughout trump's presidency even through the january 6th controversy, through the impeachment. it's not a surprise now that he continues to back president trump. president trump is ahead in the gop primary over his next highest opponent, ron desantis, by 30 points in new hampshire. it's not surprising that leader mccarthy would want to back the president even given all his legal entang entanglements. but i think he also has an obligation to try to stay neutral in the primary because there are a lot of other republicans running. howard: good luck with that. that's the problem. he was trying to stay neutral. he didn't say anything terrible. mccarthy told breitbart the media are trying to drive a wedge between donald trump and the republican party, but it was his own words that started this flap. >> certainly. and, you know, i was watching
interview on cnbc mccarthy rushed to make clear his loyalty to the former president, saying in another interview with breitbart that he believes, quote, trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 and accusing the media of taking those comments out of context. of course mccarthy has a fragile majority in the house. he won his post as the house speaker after a bruising 15 rounds of votes in part by agreeing to a snap vote to oust him at any time. with us now for perspective on this is colorado republican ken buck. congressman, thank you for joining us today. i wonder what you made of what speaker mccarthy said there about whether or not trump is the strongest candidate to win in 2024. >> well, i think he is the strongest candidate right now to win, and i'll tell you why. he has run three times for president. the other candidates have not run yet for president. that gives him strength by itself. he also has a persona that he's willing to take on the tough issues. he's willing to take on the issues that a lot of
is what kevin mccarthy said and i will read it because this was to breitbart. the only reason biden is using his weaponized federal government to go after trump is because he is biden's strongest political opponent. as polling continues to show, just look at the numbers this morning. trump is stronger today than he was in 2016. what do you hear there? >> i hear the flip-flop that is indicative of where republican leaders are with donald trump right now. kevin mccarthy acknowledges in the morning is pretty much common-ology among most republican voters. there is an openness to maybe some alternatives of four of the electors who are basically saying that some of these things have weight on their support for donald trump. we saw that in the midterms where there is actually a kind of fall in nature in his relationship with his own base, some of that has come back around to him. but what has changed since the midterms is that that is not something that you can say as he become a little more likely to become the nominee, and so you have kevin mccarthy as he is done over and over, having
loyalty to the former president, saying in another interview with breitbart that he believes, quote, trump is stronger today than he was in 2016, and accusing the media of taking those comments out of context. of course, mccarthy as a fragile majority in the house. he won his post as the house speaker after a bruising 15 rounds of vote, in part by agreeing to his snap vote to oust him at anytime. with us now for perspective on this is colorado republican can't block. congressman, thank you for joining us. today i wonder what you made of what speaker mccarthy said there about whether or not trump is the strongest candidate to win in 2024. >> well, i think he is the strongest candidate right now to win. and i will tell you why. he has run three times for president. the other candidates have not yet run for president. so, that gives him strength by self. he also has the persona that he's willing to take on the tough issues. he's willing to take on the issues that a lot of conservatives americans, but other americans care deeply about. now, there is another candidate,
an interview with "breitbart" shortly after stepping in it in the cnbc interview to try to clean up the mess he made. >> you think the primary concern is maintaining speakership in 2024 and if trump is the top of the ticket that could be in danger to be sure. but he's still in many ways, jackie, still doing trump's bidding, including giving his blessing to this effort to remove trump's two impeachments from the congressional record. give us the latest where that stands. >> this is another vanity project that mccarthy has taken up on behalf of the former president, a saga in the house which is now on recess and viewed as a distraction by many members and again a sort of personal pet project of the former president. we'll see if it ultimately is able to go anywhere when the
