They`re stuck on a highway they can’t get off. And in the country pays a price for that.

What do you think happens next? Where do we go from here?

Mitch McConnell knows damn well that what he said was a load of you know what talking about, well, when I look at this, I don’t see any need for it. Right. Did you say that when you guys were investigating Benghazi for untold millions…

Yes. I think, you know, you cannot be anything but clued into what`s going on. They`ve had the conversations. They know what is going on. We have reporters on our air come on and talk about what they`re saying to them privately, and so…

So your party is taken over by this. And you -- I remember you once telling me that Republicans felt they have it -- with the tea party, they had tiger by the tail and they thought they could just ride it and that they can ride it to power…

Trump has redefined the party. It`s more and more becoming the party of angry white nationalist and foe patriots afraid of their future and stewing in their own victimhood.

If I`m looking at this from a political lens, the idea that you think you`re just going to be able to wash this over, and that if we said nothing and did nothing, that we get into the next election cycle, that the Democrats then won`t play…

What those individuals that you showed and Kevin McCarthy knows is two things. One, they`re going to raise a lot of money off of their stupid, and, two, they`re going to hold that base in place.

We need to stop, because this stuff just drives us nuts, because you can’t wrap your head around an enigma that’s in a bucket of slop.

We got to have an economy that’s rebounding. We have got a country that’s opening up.

I think we did low point a while back. Turning point was even longer. No, this was more of a foundational shift.

What did Mitch McConnell just say? Our goal is to stop everything Donald -- I mean, Joe Biden is doing.

Kevin McCarthy would get, yes. Kevin would get subpoenaed, Cruz would get subpoenaed, Josh Hawley, damn sure, should be subpoenaed if nobody else is.

None, voter suppression.

Light it up as much as possible.

Hold power essentially just lock people of color out of being able to vote.

If we keep you on board, then we`ll see it impact us in our primaries, impact us in our fundraising, impact us in other messaging.

But know this, that when you do, she becomes a galvanizing reminder to the rest of the country of what this party is, not what it`s become, but what it now is.

I still think the chances very high. You know, Brian, I’m drawn to a quote that actually applies to the last segment, where a member of the caucus and talking about Liz Cheney said does, quote, does Cheney stubborn insistence to stick with…

I think she’s going to come out OK. I hate seeing her go through this, but she has a lot of friends around this country, and a lot of friends still within the party who I think she can come to rely on should stupid prevail and McCarthy…

This isn’t theoretical, it’s legal.

It’s very clear. He realized that he was between his daddy and Donald Trump and it was just not a good place to be at that moment.

The President has led, and he stood firm in his leadership.

I think that is something that Joe Biden wants us to really take to heart tonight in his message to the country.

Tell me what it is you don`t want.
