gosar as a cartoon hero attacking a giant with alexandria ocasio-cortez's face with a sword. gosar flying through the air, swinging two swords at a character with president biden's face. and tonight the wanna-be anime hero congressman says the video was not meant to depict any harm or violence against anyone portrayed in the anime. the video is truly a symbolic portrayal of a fight over immigration policy. right. imagine what would happen if you did something like that to a colleague. you'd lose your job, but not congressman gosar. what do you expect from someone who defended the bloodthirsty trump supporters at the capitol? >> outright propaganda and lies are being used against law-abiding citizens, especially trump voters. as a result, the doj is harassing, harassing peaceful patriots across the country. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeting, and i quote, a creepy member i work with, and i quote, a creepy cartoon of him killing me and he will face no consequences from kevin mccarthy, who no surprise hasn't returned calls from cnn. what has happened to this coun

he posted a video showing him killing democratic representative alexandria ocasio-cortez even as some gop members are also attacking their own. >>> aaron rodgers now says he takes full responsibility for misleading people about his covid vaccination status. is it enough though to repair the enormous damage from the misinformation he spread? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer and you're in "the situation room." >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we begin with the breaking news on this, the new flurry of subpoenas from the january 6th select committee. ten more trump allies were targeted. let's go straight to ryan nobles. ryan, now a total of what, 16 subpoenas have been issued in the past 24 hours alone. tell us about this new batch. >> that's right. this group of individuals that were targeted by the select committee today represent something very important. this is a group of people very close to the former president, donald trump, and they were in close proximity of him in the days leading up to the january 6 capitol insurrection

and furthermore, alexandria ocasio-cortez deserves protection. and if you look at her tweets, she said another day at work because the system doesn't protect women of color. can we look at that for just a second, can we unpack that for a second? of course she's right. of course she's right. >> so just to be clear, when you've reached out to your arizona representatives, so congressman raul, you have spoken to him or never spoken to him? >> no, and he is not my representative. i don't live in arizona. i live in washington state. i'm represented by someone who has acted on my before. she called for an ethics investigation. and that was not followed through. and why? because there is evidence there. on more than one occasion, in fact when paul went to the uk to stump speech for tommy robinson who by the way was a felon, a felon in the united states for illegal immigration, right? isn't that lovely and ironic, but of course that is what these people are, when he went there, there were questions about the time he spent with steve ban nonand other whit

the one of him killing alexandria ocasio-cortez who spoke out today about it. >> it's pretty cut and dry. do you find -- does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? >> you don't need to hear it from her. the target of the tweet because it isn't okay, in any scenario, and i would bet that most in that chamber would agree. probably, the vast majority. but they couldn't bring themselves to say that. so instead, some went out of their way to come up with ridiculous excuses for why gosar should not be censured for posting a video of him striking aoc in the neck with a sword. >> today, we're critiquing paul gosar's anime. next week, we might be indicting the wily coyote for an explosive ordinance against the roadrunner. for democrats, this vote isn't about a video. it's about control. >> i lived in japan for several years. i speak japanese. i read and write japanese. this is an anime. [ speaking foreign language ] h h hily highly popular, stylized. >> they don't like freedom. you can see it. they don't like it. this is wrong. >> the left has nothing else to do but troll the

i was 7:30 in the morning on saturday, anderson, at the farmers market in alexandria. james carville knows that well. he used to live, i think, not too far from there. and it was packed, packed. not for a terry mcauliffe rally but for a glenn youngkin rally. and that is an area, alexandria, where joe biden won by 80%. eight-zero percent just last year. if that kind of enthusiasm anecdotally -- i'm obviously conceding that and that's very important -- can translate into election day, then terry mcauliffe could have a really big problem because those are the areas where democrats are really relying on getting out their vote. >> james, you're a mcauliffe supporter. you've helped fund-raiser for him and many other democrats as well. how concerned are you and how important is tomorrow? >> i'm very concerned. it's a very important race. i really want to win it bad. if we lose, i'll be profoundly disappointed. i think john and dana have done a good job of setting the table about what's going on. i would say -- and i don't know -- but i've seen exhaustive analysis of the early

, three hours early. >> reporter: so the national average for a gallon of gas, $3.42. $3.27 here in alexandria, virginia. aaa says the gas prices are really not being driven up by the demand on the horizon, it is more about the supply. they think oil producing nations are constricting the supply a little bit because they're trying to recoup their pandemic losses. so we'll see how high the numbers get by thanksgiving, john. >> that's how cartels work. pete muntean, thanks so much. >>> new this morning, a group of senate democrats are calling on president biden to fight or do what he can to fight rising gas prices. in a letter to the president, the 11 senators said the seven-year high in gas prices has, quote, placed an undue burden on families and small businesses. >> -- urging biden to consider releasing barrel from the nation's emergency oil reserves or taking the more extreme step of banning oil exports. cnn business reporter matt egan is following all of this for us. matt, in this letter, they're specifically pointing out things that they think can be done. there is also a reality of what t

cnn correspondent pete muntean is at a gas station in alexandria, virginia. what do these prices mean for holiday travel? >> reporter: it's not going to be cheap for so many cheam, ana. aaa predict the numbers for holiday travel, especially during thanksgiving will be huge. in fact, the increase will be the biggest that is recorded since 2005. of course, the vast majority of people will drive, 48 million will hit the road. the numbers that far up from where they were in 2019 before the pandemic so this won't feel like 2020 in a lot of ways. traffic will be bad and so will the expense. the average price of a gallon of price now up $1.30 from where it was this time last year. we've reached a seven-year high, but what's so interesting here is that aaa says it will not stop people from getting out and going during the thanksgiving travel period. here's what they said. >> a lot more confidence. people are feeling better about traveling and no matter what the gas prices are, and they are quite a bit higher than last year, people are still going to take the trip. >>

and alexandria ocasio-cortez yelled, i did. they voted him to deliver on the progressive policy victories. we will see if he is able to do that. >> a lot of the benefits in these bills won't kick in right away. they don't address what are some of the top concerns for voters, which is inflation. if they pass infrastructure and the economic bill, it will have transformative impact on the middle class. it will be huge for biden's legacy. will it be enough to save the democratic majority? i think a lot of democrats on capitol hill would say they need to do more than that. >> to our point, if covid is raging with next september with whatever variant and they pass build back better, it's not going to matter. the key issue for every single american is co-vvidcovid-19 whi why you see democratic governors start issuing their own covid guidance at times at odds with the biden administration. they realize they need to take matters into their own hands. >> they are the real barometer. the pollster said build back better won't matter. "the

censure republican congressman paul gosar for the animated video depicting him killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. what does it mean for democrats to provide accountability? >> it's just part of the embrace of violence that has begun to pervade the republican party. it is a very scary thing. there is actually some real consequences to this censure motion. the censure is meant to be embarrassing, but taking gosar off a committee is actually very significant in terms of his work as a congressman. the day-to-day work of congress is conducted in committees. if he can't serve on a major committee, that makes him very much a lesser figure in the house. so there's some teeth in this censure resolution, but perhaps the most significant part of it is that even though this is an acted out murder that he has taken part in, it's only the democrats who seem upset about it. >> governor kasich, you're a republican, the gop is turning a blind eye to the promotion of this violence by this congressman. but get this, the wyoming republican party voted to no longer recognize republican congresswoman li

paul gosar retweeting a supporter, the one that appeared to show him attacking alexandria ocasio-cortez. watch. >> it's sad. it is a sad day in which a member who leads a political party in the united states of america cannot bring themselves to say that issuing a depiction of murdering a member of congress is wrong. what is so hard -- hwhat is so hard about saying that this is wrong? this is not about me. this is not about representative gosar. but this is about what we are willing to accept. >> posting that svideo was wron, period. full stop. any responsible adult would realize that, and they would apologize. but, you know, i guess i shouldn't be surprised and i'm not. not really. after all, this is a man who just this afternoon as the house was debating censure, didn't apologize -- and wait for it -- compared himself to alexander hamilton. >> to address and reject the mischaracterization, accusations from many in this body that the cartoon from my office is dangerous or threatening. it was not. and i reject the false narrative categorically. i do not espouse violence towards anyone.

lawmaker posted an altered video online that showed him appearing to kill democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and physically attacking president biden. he took down this video this week. writing in a statement, quote, i do not he is spouse violence or harm toward any member of congress or mr. biden. and also this video is truly a symbolic portrayal of a fight over immigration policy. for the record, the six term congressman has a history of far right views n. 2018 he dined with an anti-muslim politician at a london event organized by steve bannon and spread conspiracy theories about the fbi staging the january 6 insurrection and called the shooting of a capitol hill rioter an execution. he suggested that the white nationalist rally in charlottesville virginia was a left wing plot and then deleted a neo-nazi themed video. the arizona's dentist of the year in 2001. cnn reached out to gosar for a comment and we have not heard back. joining me now is paul gosar sister. we have jennifer gosar here. she is among the family members who have openly criticized for the congressman for yea

it's $3.27 at this exxon in alexandria, virginia. aaa says it's not demand. it's supply and that oil-producing nations might be constricting the supply a little bit, trying to reap some of their pandemic losses from last year when things were pretty cheap. >> pete, thanks so much. as pete is taulk about gas prices, they're a big part of everybody's economic reality. let's see how things are. "americans are by many measures in a better financial position than they have been in many years. they also believe the economy is in terrible shape." that's the take in a new piece of "new york times" senior economic correspondent neil irwin. he joins me now. your piece really stuck with me because it got to kind of the psychology of people's economic reality, which i think is something not considered enough. but to your point, if things are better for most folks than they have been in many years, people still think it's terrible, why is that? >> so, when we think about our economic lives, there's two sides of it -- income and spending. there's the income you bring in fr

gosar tweeting an animated video of him appearing to kill alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. a sickening post by a sitting member of congress. and one that politicians everywhere should have no problems denouncing, right? i mean, it's -- it's -- it's violence. it's killing a politician. but republican leadership's not denouncing it. there is no type -- place for this type of threat. but one day after gosar tweeted that video, the house minority leader kevin mccarthy has yet to break his silence, not saying a word. why? is it because he doesn't want to upset trump? and cross a man who very clearly has trump's public backing? >> congressman paul gosar. congressman, great job. great job. my warrior. he is a warrior. listen. we have a congressman who is a friend of mine who is a warrior. paul gosar. >> well, he is a warrior actually in all senses of the word, i guess. i mean, republican leaders apparently don't want to go to battle with a man that, you know, has trump so solidly in his corner. i mean, just listen to republican congresswoman liz cheney. i want to remind you

but here's what congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez said shortly after that. >> when the republican leader rose to talk about how there are all of these double standards and lists a litany of all these different things, not once did he list an example of a member of congress threatening the life of another. this is not about a double standard. >> francesca, what do you think? >> what i've been hearing from democrats on and off the hill today is whether or not this would open the door for a precedent for republicans to be able to do the same thing if they take the majority next year after next year's elections. so while there is some concern about that, they view this mainly as something they just could not let go, that the conference was in lockstep with speaker pelosi on this, more so than almost anything else recently. that there's no place for violence, that something had to be done and that the things you're talking about, those other comments are different than what was being discussed with representative gosar. >> i do want to -- go ahead. >> no, i just think this whole notion

this is alexandria ocasio-cortez, the democratic congresswoman's response. she was on her way to the climate summit in glasgow. while i was en route a deeply creepy member who i work with shared a fantasy of him killing me and he'll face no consequences because the gop cheers him on. fact check, true. at least up to this point. >> and possibly not from twitter either because he sort of gets a pass because he's an elektd official. if i'm aoc i'm afraid. this is sort of obsessive and stalkerish behavior mixed with toxic masculinity and she's been on the other end of a lot of this kind of vile actions, and i'm sure she's nervous about it. >> one thing to remember is republicans right now are in the minority. this is still a small group of the conference, and they are really impacting how leadership deals with them. because of redifficulty ding which is already showing that a lot of districts will only become more partisan this group could grow so imagine even if mccarthy is majority leader they will continually probably pressure him to condemn others in the con

pete muntean is at a gas station in alexandria, virginia, with more. fuel prices are at levels we've not seen in years. what is driving this increase? >> jake, it's not really the huge demand on the horizon that's driving these prices but rather the supply. aaa says oil-producing nations are constricting the supply trying to recoup some of their pandemic losses. gas on average is about $1.30 more expensive than it was a year ago. a seven-year high and we're all about to pay for it. aa anticipates 48 million people will hit the road during the thanksgiving travel period. those numbers way higher than in 2020, pretty close to what they were back in 2019 prepandemic, and what's so interesting here is that aaa thinks these prices will not push people away from traveling. >> a lot more confidence. people are feeling better about traveling and no matter what the gas prices are, and they are quite a bit higher than last year, people are still going to take that trip. >> so the short version here, jake, the expense is back. the traffic is back. this thanksgivi

it's notable that congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez also sits on that committee and, of course, she was the one in that anime video that he posted, in this animated video, appears to kill her. so separating the two from one another. but again, a very big deal here on the house and it coming on the heels of no action from house minority leader kevin mccarthy who said that there shouldn't be violence, but certainly didn't take any action to punish congressman gosar after this video. he did take the video down but he never apologized, pam. so we'll see how this all plays out in the house tomorrow. but again, underscoring just how severe of a punishment this is and how big of a deal this is in the house of representatives. >> jessica dean, thanks for bringing us the latest on that. >>> in our politics lead, the fate of former white house chief of staff mark meadows is, quote, still a work in progress. that's according to the chairman of the house select january 6th committee which met today to figure out what to do after meadows failed to show up to testify. cnn's ryan nobles joins

inflammatory tweet ws warni biden to concede and now comes this creepy animated video he puts out about alexandria ocasio-cortez. the republican party is not going to punish gosar. they're never going to stand up to donald trump. >> mia, did you ever think you would see so many republicans brush off this type of threat, a threat to kill a fellow lawmaker? >> it's really interesting because i have always believed that respect is the beginning point of any productive conversation debate and progress. when i went into washington, i did everything i could to gain the respect of my colleagues on both sides of the isle. so i just want to start off by saying yes, gosar's actions are worthy of censored. being in congress and seeing the things i have seen, neither side can claim the higher ground here. i think there is rhetoric that has been pushed out on both sides, i was there when steve scalise got shot. i feel like members of congress need to go back and read everything i should have learned. i learned in kindergarten so they can start treating each other with respect. i also hate the hypocrisy that i

he serves on that committee with democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. it comes after gosar deleted a video he posted to twitter portraying himself killing ocasio-cortez and swinging a sword at president biden. still, republican leadership is i standing behind gosar. here's what minority leader kevin mccarthy said today. >> he didn't see it before he posted and took it down. it was not his intent to ever show any harm. >> outfront now, democratic congressman jackie speier, who introduced that resolution to censure gosar. so, what do you say to kevin mccarthy and other republicans who are standing behind gosar? you heard mccarthy's reasoning that -- that gosar removed it and he says didn't -- didn't know it was up. even though, of course, gosar has defended why he did it. >> well, first of all, there was radio silence from kevin mccarthy and republicans for days after mr. gosar actually posted that venomous anime. and tacet support is equated to silence. as the issue got hotter and hotter, as the resolution got introduced, they then just took it down. now

worth noting, one of those committees, alexandria ocasio-cortez also sits on that committee with him as well. of course, she is at the center of all of this. so they will vote on that. what is unique about censure, anderson, is is that he is required to stand in the well of the house while this resolution is being heard. um, so, that is very unique to this. this is a very severe form of punishment. it's, obviously, symbolic but it's as severe as they can go in the house of representatives. and if he doesn't show up, the sergeant at arms could go haul him into the house of representatives, although house democrats we have spoken to kind of have downplayed that as -- as not likely to happen. so, will be interesting to see kind of how this plays out tomorrow afternoon . we haven't seen this in a long time. >> also, is there any indication any republican member of congress would vote for censure, other than representatives liz cheney and adam kinzinger? >> at this point, not really. we have heard from a number of republicans this afternoon. we talked with congressman of minnesota who sai

only four voted to strip him of his assignments, depicting himself murdering alexandria ocasio-cortez. he neither apologized to the congresswoman. he's boasting of being called a warrior by the former president and comparing him to the murder of the charley ebdough and he retweeted a tweet with the very same clip he was censured for. so much for regrets or decency. he has none. his fellow republicans have excuses for not doing anything about them. you should see them all the same because they express the conspear torrial clime that video itself embodies. that and a sprinkling of hypocrisy on top. this is only the second time a house member has been censured. the last time was in 2010, when democrat was taken into account for ethics violations. democrats led the effort and a wide majority voted for sensor. thitime only liz cheney and kinsinger voted yet. and after a week of silence, pointing fingers else wear and neglecting the fact that it was democrats disciplining themselves on the last vote. >> when a democrat congresswoman said israel was hiypnotized, tht supporting israel is all

in a now deleted tweet paul gosar showed him killing alexandria ocasio-cortez. it's been a week and he has yet to face any rebuke though democrats want the house to officially censure him. pk, that voicemail for. >> fred: -- fred upton and the fact that they're voting for clean water, broadband access, for fixing roads, fixing bridges, i mean, what does that even say? >> look, the house of representatives, jackie and i have covered the place for a really long time. it is a cauldron. it is -- it has never healed itself or come close to healing itself. the senate still has tensions that are there. the house is still heated. they have mag no, ma'am meters set outside the chamber. every member has to walk through to prove that they don't have a weapon on them. it seems a little bit ridiculous at times to think, all right, these are members of congress. come on. but then you see what paul gosar tweets, that sort of violence. marjorie taylor green went with her staff and visited the d.c. prison and made them take her to what they called the patriot wing so she could s

that in response to a video he posted that depicted him killing democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. let's begin in kenosha, wisconsin. shimon prokupecz is covering the trial there. shimon what more can you tell us about what the jurors asked for specifically yesterday, not unusual for them to ask for a repeat of instructions, but what particular instructions? >> reporter: no, you're right, not unusual at all. and also given how complicated everything is here, it certainly we would expect them to want to hear all of that again. specifically yesterday they started the day by looking at the first six pages of the instructions. and that part of the instructions goes into self-defense. and it also talks about provocation. so all of that was in the first six pages. it also relates to the first incident, the first shooting where kyle rittenhouse opened fire on joseph rosenbaum. that was the person that the defense has painted as the aggressor here, as the guy who ambushed kyle rittenhouse. of course, prosecutors arguing that kyle rittenhouse provoked joseph rosenbaum, started this whole e

over gosar's posting of a cartoon video depicting violence against president biden and representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. also breaking, jurors in the kyle rittenhouse homicide trial are reviewing key video evidence. how might it influence their potential verdict. we're following all the new developments on day two of deliberations. >>> we're also standing by to hear momentarily from president biden on the road in detroit selling his new infrastructure law, making the case for congress to pass the rest of his very ambitious agenda. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> let's get straight to the breaking news. first on capitol hill, our chief congressional correspondent manu raju is working the story for us. manu, a rather rare and very dramatic move by the house of representatives. >> yeah, very rare indeed. not common that a member of congress gets censured. this is the first time in 11 years. and also very rare for the house to actually move to strip someone of the

and in particular, with somebody like alexandria ocasio-cortez, she is obviously beloved by progressives. but already, vilified and has met -- has -- has had, historically, a lot of threats against her. so, the fact that this wasn't condemned in a very aggressive way is -- is quite telling. for what -- for the fact that he didn't say it as much as what he did say. >> it's also interesting that he only said it because of questioning as -- as you said by -- by, you know, by -- by us. and that -- that he remained silent, not even saying last week that he had called him to take it down. you spoke with former-new jersey governor chris christie for your special report "being chris christie" which comes on at 10:00 tonight. he clearly thinks the republican party needs to move past the former president. >> that's right, and we talked about this kind of behavior from and among republicans, including the leaders here in washington, vis-a-vis donald trump. listen to a clip about that. >> a lot of your fellow republicans, particularly in washington -- they denounced the insurrection after january 6t

deflecting from the reality of what he did and alexandria ocasio-cortez -- at the end there -- really boiled it down to the most basic question. a question that most republicans said no to, which is, is it okay -- are you willing to condemn your colleague for -- for threatening the life of another? now, they say -- some of them said it's art. i don't remember that defense coming out when a comedian did the same thing -- a similar thing about a republican president. i don't remember them saying that about countless other examples. and it is completely hypocritical. there is no question about it. when you talk about, at its core, what this was about which was inciting violence, anderson. it was inciting violence and it shouldn't be done against any member but it definitely shouldn't be done against somebody who we know has serious threats against her. >> were you surprised at just how hard republicans went to the mat today in support of gosar? i mean, it was only cheney and kinzinger who voted to censure. how much was that about him? how much of it was about not running afoul the former

. >> reporter: she works in alexandria virginia. holiday supply chain concerns have shaped ali kirkpatrick's supply chain for months. >> my suppliers have been sending warners. >> reporter: she is bracing for now a blockbuster holiday outlook will collide with labor and good shortages. >> after kid goes to bed at bath time, i look out. >> reporter: always complicated for small sellers. >> i can't compete with amazon or super high suppliers. i don't buy 20,000 copies avenue eye book. and i can't negotiate. >> reporter: the gap may seem wider, many retailers have ramped up suppliers. and in a way that beanie baby owner cannot. george is barely opening this retail store in washington, d.c. in 2020. >> literally, two weeks later i had to shut down because of covid. yeah, it was a very strong beginning. >> reporter: george sells a mix of handmade creations adorned with images. she bought what she could early. >> i spent the entire time period from april to now just buying as much inventory as i could get. to make sure that i was well sto

we heard alexandria ocasio-cortez is saying if those promises don't follow through, it will be very, very difficult for them to get votes on anything moving forward. she said the trust that was lr so delegate will be broken. what dampens turnout is when democrats make promises they can't keep. what the house does was a big deal. it was the easiest of the hard things. what you said, joe manchin wants to strip a lot out of this bill. kyrsten sinema has a lot of ideas. the senate parliamentarian has their own ideas. this will look different when it comes back in january or whenever when it comes back. pelosi has a three vote margin. there's a lot of questions about how they will get there and what they can do to appease these progressives and these moderates who are uncomfortable with things that they'll be losing in the senate. >> the white house is saying the bill is not going to make inflation worse. that's a concern from senator joe manchin about more federal spending at a time when there is inflation. the white house is trying to tamp down the criticism. >> hers here's what one of

facing censure for posting a photo shopped anime video showing him appearing to kill congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. joining me now is the house democratic whip, congressman james clyburn. congressman, thank you for being with us. why is it important to you to hold this vote to censure paul gosar today? >> well, thank you very much for having me. i think over the years i often referred to the house of representatives, the hall of the house, as america's classroom. and i feel that very strongly. we as members of congress ought to conduct ourselves in that hall and in our duties and responsibilities in such a way that children, schoolchildren all over, can look to us, to emulate the conduct and that is why we should hold every member to a high standard. and when someone sends out a tweet or any other illustration of him or her murdering somebody on the house floor, that, to me, goes far beyond the pale and that person should not even be a member of this body. in fact, a lot of his family members are telling the whole world that he should not be a member of

i'm sure trump wanted to go to alexandria, as he said in a tweet that he was contemplating doing. so will the former president continue to have a sufficient level of restraint with republican candidate? will he allow them to stay at arm's length? that remains to be seen. >> yeah. good point. you would think what happened was a wake-up call for democrat, and today they're back to squabbling amongst themselves of what's in and what's out of the president's economic plan. they still don't seem to have a specific strategy, at least not yet, do they? >> no, they don't. you've seen a move on the house side to put the paid family leave back in. it doesn't look like that would actually pass the senate. there is a broad ideological and racial and socioeconomic diversity in the democratic party and sometimes that is a strength and sometimes it is a hindrance, and we see that now with negotiations trying to knit together something that joe manchin likes and bernie sanders likes as well as the aoc progressive wing of the party, and you see how that has hindered them so far and really delayed

with congressman paul gosar who put out that violent creepy video in which he is killing, i guess, alexandria ocasio-cortez. what is the upshot there, what will happen to paul gosar? >> you know, the democrats are discussing a possible vote on censuring him, but isn't it really more about the republican party leadership and how they are sort of policing their o own -- i believe there was reporting that kevin mccarthy noted had that tweet came down after he had a conversation with gosar, but still not making a public statement rebuking that totally inappropriate unacceptable video from a member of congress being put out. and so, you know, i think that -- you are right to sort of put these two stories together. i think that we are still very much inside a republican party that is completely loyal to trump, to the big lie, to anything but sort of responsible leadership when it comes to these fundamental institutional small d democratic principles that used to be in place for both parties. but it is clear that that is not the case right now. >> interesting what gets the soft touch from leadership

he showed an altered animated video showing him killing alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. these are screen shots of that video. given its disturbing nature, cnn is not showing it. >> it's still up on twitter, the whole video. according to "the washington post," gosar's staff responded by saying "everyone needs to relax." jackie and john avlon join us. jackie, you know this well, look back to representative steve king, right. he was pushed out of his committee positions by republican leadership for racist comments. i mean, i wonder what the red line is now. the bottom seems to have fallen so far. is there a comment, including a violent one, that gets a punishment within the party at this point? >> well, clearly not. it's pretty clear that kevin mccarthy is fine letting his caucus become feral. there's no punishment in this republican leadership structure. and i'll tell you what, based on when republicans took the majority or any party takes the majority, it doesn't get easier to control some of these members once they are in the majority. but hi's clearly made the ca

congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez recently told "the new york times," there is all this focus on democrats deliver, democrats deliver, but are they delivering on the things that people are asking for the most right now? in communities like mine, the issues that people are loudest and feel most passionately about are the ones that the party is speaking to the least. how do you respond to that? >> i'm not sure what she's referring to specifically, but i can tell you when every 3-year-old and 4-year-old in america gets to go to school, not day care, school, with universal pre-k, that's going to be popular everywhere. but in my district, talk to carpenters and plumbers. talk too steam fitters and iron workers. they'll tell you that infrastructure bill means good jobs for as far as the eye can see. climate activists. i know alex and ria cares a lot about the climate. i'm a weapon with hoar that and we're doing the most important climate work that's ever been done right now in both the infrastructure bill and in the build back better bill. what does that mean? hundreds of thousands of

you click down here alexandria. the youngkin campaign thought it was going to overperform most recent republicans. ed gillespie in the last governor's race. again, just 3% of the vote in here so we are going to watch. i tell you something else we are watching this again in a very close race, northern virginia suburbs are the biggest population center. so they are dispositive and they are the key to democrats, especially if the republican vote comes in as you see here. one indication early on, though, again, it's early. not sure why that shape came in there. let me try to do that again. that was good, right? i don't think i could do that again if i tried. every now and then, i communicate with my -- but come down here. if we go back to the race for governor in 2017. you see that blue. >> yeah. >> so you come back to 2021. again, it's early but it's what you watch. right? youngkin has to rewrite the recent map for republicans in virginia. so that would mean are you competitive in virginia beach with about 20% of the v

house, you know, promoting a video that takes on president biden with a threat and kills my colleague alexandria ocasio-cortez defended by kevin mccarthy. the republican party today is a vigilante, violent party and we have to make sure going into the midterms voters understand what going with them would look like in the next comes years. >> let's play with gosar and mccarthy what they both said. house minority leader kevin mccarthy said about all this and we'll get your reaction. >> i voluntarily took the cartoon down not because itself was a threat but some thought it was. if i must join alexander hamilton first person attempted to the censured by this house, so be it. under the pelosi president all member ice mentioned earlier will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future. >> what did you think when you heard that? >> again, i didn't hear an apology from mr. gosar or kevin mccarthy condemning it saying we shouldn't have violence in the house. instead i heard, well, if you're going to remove our members for acting violently we'll use retribution to remove yours. am

was no evident republican outrage when republican paul gosar released the video we apparently killed alexandria ocasio-cortez and president biden. when they voted for a bill that would benefit constituents they were called traitors and communists. goe is asr. gosar is in the sam seat but the 13 republicans will face challenges or targeted for redistricting. defending democracy doesn't seem like a big deal to you look at the life or death consequences of lying about covid because newly released emails and testimony from trump cdc officials show that they were pressured to downplay the pandemic in its earliest days out of white house fears the truth would make trump look bad. the trump white house tried to interfere in the release of accurate covid data, refusing cdc requests to hold briefings about mask guidance and pediatric covid cases leading officials to feel muzzled. dr. debra birx aide said scott atlas pushed for less testing. it adds more detail to what birx told cnn back in march. >> there were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. all of the rest of them, in my mind,

the freshman congresswoman cori bush, personal financial interest protecting the coal industry from alexandria ocasio-cortez, but new details show how other progressives see attacks as counter productive and favor diplomacy. man manu raju joins the pam. not that they disagree with their progressive colleagues, but others say if we want to get to the finish line, row conna, rather than berating manchin and demand he agree, many say to win him over, engage in an open dialog with him and let him come to a conclusion that passing the bill is crucial not just for the president's political future but his deep red state as well. >> yeah. look, he's made clear, joe manchin, that he will not be jammed. he's not going to be jammed, not publicly pressured into doing something he does not want to do and he's prepared, he says, to vote no, if he feels he has to. the attacks from cori bush who called him a racist for his opposition to the larger spending package, that did not go over particularly well with some progressives, ro khanna one of them, he was on national tv soon after i'm told and said that joe

alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, corey bush, jamaal bowman, and others, they were clearly not happy with the direction it was going. but they had enough republicans who offset the losses including john, a moderate new york republican. congressman don bacon in nebraska. and fred upton of michigan, and don young of alaska. adam kinzinger, as well. they had enough republicans who voted ultimately to save off the democratic defections. but it was clearly not easy. they finally got this to the president's desk, after a bill that was approved in august. and we'll see what happens with the larger bill. when it comes up in m mid-november, they can only afford to lose three votes. will the moderates vote yes? things have been changing minute by minute. if they get it out of the house, the senate has a whole different complication, with manchin and others vowing to change the bill. at the moment, the white house is celebrating getting the infrastructure bill to the president's desk. >> i started chuckling. this has been a roller coaster of the day, but also recognizing how many steps to still

paul gosar tweeted out an anime sho showing him killing alexandria ocasio-cortez. his sister says he's out of control. >> this is something i have to op openly wonder. does he have to act on it himself before we believe he's a sociopath. where is the accountability? >> where is the accountability indeed. the truth is we have seen this movie before. not the creepy anime version, but the plot lines are familiar. trump supporters have been churning out violet memes for years now. this one shows the president massacring members of the news media. ask scientists, election officials, members of congress, journalists. they'll tell you about the death threats they've received for years now. much of what they've experienced comes to this. you come into the cross hairs of some characters on the right and they can open up the flood gates of hatred and intimidation on you. how many times does this need to happen before we all agree on what it is? incitement. the reason it keeps happening is there has been zero accountability for those who do the inciting. it's a structure for

this week in congress in response to his having shared a 90-second anime clip slashing representative alexandria ocasio-cortez in the back of the neck and swinging two swords at president biden. the cartoon is sophomoric and ap appalling. the house voted with two, liz cheney and adam kinzinger joining to censure gosar. it's a stronger punishment than reprimand. relative recent examples of censure include in 1983 jerry studs and joe crain were censured for having sex with pages. go sar was the first member censured since rangel. but punishment hardly defines how this was received by go sar or by his colthat he apologized politico. instead in the house proceeding he compared himself to alexander hamilton. >> i voluntarily took the cartoon down not because itself it was a shut but because some thought it was. if i must join alexander hamilton the first person censured by this house, so be it, it is done. >> watching him i haven't seen on the receiving end of punishment so happy since, well, steve bannon was hauled into court for contempt of congress. and gosar's colleagues seemed unperturbed. they
