Well, look, politics has changed. And you could make a case that Congress is not as serious as an institution that it was once, evidence being Matt Gaetz`s election and his continuance in service in the body.

John Boehner, despite his fierce resistance to so much of Barack Obama`s agenda, and he certainly had it, and he was dogged about it. And he used the tools of the House to stop President Obama.

Yes, look, I would like to thank the colleagues, we`re not aware of criminal behavior. But people are very much aware of Matt Gaetz`s playboy personality. He arrived in Washington with it. Anyone who knew Matt Gaetz and had followed him in…

The best thing Matt Gaetz can do right now is shut up, hire a lawyer and resign.

In our national politics, Donald Trump is here to stay and likely running in 2024. And the evangelical movement and every other Republican will have to figure out how they offer support to him, considering as Glenn just mentioned that…

The only concern in this moment is that the scandal actually involves a victim who if the story is true was a 17-year-old woman -- or young woman, I guess. And that`s a very real crime if that`s the case.

It is very telling, though, that Matt Gaetz is somebody with very few friends right now, even among the MAGA world.

The only open question on Matt Gaetz at this point... is whether Matt is just a dirt bag or whether he`s a criminal, because it`s one or the other.

Yes, Chris, it`s dangerous, it`s audacious. You know, it`s one thing for Donald Trump to endorse candidates, but to suggest that the very issue of January six should be relitigated and somehow relitigated in the favor of Republicans that…

I think the lesson is clear that Donald Trump has always in this for himself and the line his own pockets, but I think it`s also indicative of what we will see from Donald Trump going forward.

It is still Donald Trump`s party.

I think the wildcard in the numbers is whether he gets indicted and if he gets indicted whether he is found liable or even criminally culpable.

even if you take the -- even if you take the Liz Cheney approach that Republicans are not the party of white supremacy, they`re the party of white people.

Look, I`d say it`s more dire than even that. The danger that we`re seeing among today`s Republicans, the examples you just gave, is the direct correlation between the imagery and a target.

Chris, this is the real life danger of where the Republican Party is today. The first step in justifying violence is delegitimizing your victim.

Laura Boebert did that in her rant before the Natural Resources Committee. She suggested that owning guns and taking them into the Capitol is an absolute right. That`s not the case.

Yes, Chris. I so appreciate how you`re framing this identity crisis within today`s Republican Party because conventional wisdom seems to default to this identity crisis must be an ideological one, right? Conservatives versus moderates are…

This is Donald Trump`s party. Nikki Haley knows that. She`s learned that.

I think it`s absolutely necessary. I mean, our government almost fell that day. And in part because of the domestic threat of conspiracy theory organizations that the FBI has identified as a great threat.

Yes, Brian in history says that independent politics and a new party faces insurmountable odds, we have a system of federalism where all 50 states set the rules. And those rules are often set by the two major parties who don`t want new…

Kevin McCarthy and Republican leaders should publicly condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene. They should eject her from the House Republican conference, refuse to seat her on any committees and isolate her from any support of the party apparatus…

the only way Joe Biden's agenda passes through the Congress is if Chuck Schumer does an end-around the legislative filibuster by either eliminating the filibuster or by using the reconciliation process.

If Republicans want to ensure that Chuck Schumer obliterates the filibuster for legislation, keep up this type of obstinate behavior.

Those are the policies of Donald Trump and those policies are the policies of today`s Republican Party, Joy. And this goes back to the false narrative that somehow Donald Trump hijacked the Republican Party. He didn`t. He walked through…

Joe Biden is the perfect president for this moment, and they don’t know what to do about it.
