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

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. >>

, 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

now, yesterday during this censure, there was a call from representative alexandria ocasio-cortez arguing that this was really just a simple question of wrong or right, and here's what she said. >> what is so hard? what 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. >> and, of course, kate, one of the things that happened yesterday was just two republicans were willing to vote with democrats on this censure resolution and to remove gosar from his two committees. obviously not very many republicans thought this was worth admonishing. kate? >> lauren, thank you. joining me now for senator huma abedin, a to be aide and longtime adviser with hillary clinton starting from the first lady's office to the senate and state department and beyond. also the author of the new book "both and, a life and many worlds." good to sigh, huma. thanks for coming in. >> great to be with you, kate. just look at the political discourse today. you as well as secretary clinton faced untold number of kind of p

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

he did not apologize to alexandria ocasio-cortez. he did say he sent that out in order to have an important policy discussion about immigration, as victor pointed out to me while we were watching, why did he put aoc's face in it then, if this is an important immigration discussion? >> because she's a brown face, but i just think that representative gosar is beneath the dignity of office so i don't want to spend too much time talking about him. what i saw today, it was fascinating. i actually thought the political arguments the republican party were making about, you know, the issues facing the country and we're here debating this particular issue, a cartoon, i thought the arguments they were making, although disingenuous would go over well with the base and individuals who may be in the middle. i thought democrats were making a great argument that this is a narrow issue. and then when lauren boebert got up there, i thought it all just went to hell. watching her speak and watching the tone and tenor, it snapped me back to reality and

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

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

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

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

after he posted this bizarre photo shopped anime video appearing to show him killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. gosar eventually took the video down and offered up this explanation for putting it up online. >> i did not apologize. i said this video had nothing to do with harming anybody. it's exactly what you were talking about. it's an anime. you are trying to reach out to the newer generation that likes these anime, these cartoons fabricated in japanese likeness to actually show them what's harmful in this world. >> trying to reach out to the younger generation. >>> cnn's jessica dean has more on what to expected to with that vote. >> reporter: laura, the house of representatives set to vote on a resolution to censure congressman paul gosar and strip him from both committees on which he serves. this, of course, following the video that he published and then later took down, but never a poll apologized for. we are looking for an afternoon voet on thi vote to censure him and strip him of those committees. it is of note censuring a congress person is.

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

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

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

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

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

congressman paul gosar about to be punished for his graphic video depicting violence against congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and president joe biden. the house will vote tomorrow to censure him and remove him from two committees. >>> plus the state resting their case in the trial of the three men accused of murdering ahmaud arbery, but the defense seems more focused on black pastors in the courtroom than their own case. >>> and 1,500 pieces of satellite debris hurtling through space and coming dangerously close to the international space station. we're going to have the very latest on why nasa officials say russia is to blame for this. >>> let's get right to washington now and the breaking news there. our congressional correspondent, cnn's jessica dean. thanks for joining us this evening. walk us through this resolution and what it means for paul gosar, please. >> reporter: right. so let's just lay it out for everybody. first and foremost, this is the most serious form of punishment that can be bestowed on a member of the house of representatives. now, it is symbolic, but it hasn't been done s

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

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

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

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

after all republicans refused to vote to hold paul gosar accountable for the anime video for killing alexandria ocasio-cortez and while the gop circus continues, the investigation of one of the darkest days in the history is moving forward in a matter of hours, a federal appeals court will hear the former president's latest effort to stop the national archives from turning over documents from around january 6th to the house. now, he is claiming executive privilege but the current white house is saying that's not his call anymore since he is no longer the president of the united states. that as the january 6th committee is about to vote on a criminal contempt of congress referral for former doj official jeffrey clark. jeffrey clark stone walled the committee showing up for an interview but refusing to answer questions. clark would be the second person to face contempt charges for defying the committee after steve bannon was indicted. bannon himself hoping to be the ring master of his own media circus trying to convince a judge in the to bar him from publicly sharing documents he vo receives from

committee assignments over a violent anime video that depicts him killing democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. gosar took down the post of the video but is not apologizing. censure requires the member to stand before the clhamber as th resolution is red. we'll see if gosar follows that rule this afternoon if it happens. >>> coming up, a record number of americans are dying over drug overdoses. the startling new numbers are next. ♪ light 'em up, up, up ♪ ♪ i'm on fire ♪ ♪ so light 'em up, up, up light 'em... ♪ [energetic music throughout] what's strong with me? i know when i'm ready for a rest day. ...so i can be ready for anything... tomorrow. find out what's strong with you with fitbit sense and daily readiness. ho ho ho! not again. oh no. for the gifts you won't forget. the mercedes-benz winter event. get a credit toward your first month's payment on select models. kevin! kevin? kevin. oh nice. kevin, where are you? kevin?!?!? hey, what's going on? i'm right here! i was busy cashbacking for the holidays with chase freedom unlimited. i'

gosar posted an anime video to social media showing him appearing to kill democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. let's talk about that and more. joining us, chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny and senior political analyst david gurgen. david, congresswoman liz cheney, republican from wyoming, says it's indefensible for the house minority leader kevin mccarthy to turn a blind eye to representative gosar's behavior. shouldn't this be a no-brainer, drawing the line of depictions of violence against a fellow lawmaker? >> absolutely. once again, liz cheney is right. we ought to obey that. we have enough troubles right now. we have so many other issues that are so much more important than this. let's censure this guy and move on. >> but jeff, i suspect that not a whole bunch of republicans will vote with the democrats to hold representative gosar accountable. will they? >> wolf, i think you're right. liz cheney and adam kinzinger, of course, republican of illinois, who has already said he's not running for re-election. of course, both of those

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

the bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez are outliers. the country is divided 40/40 hard core democrats and republicans, but the 20% in the middle are interested in table issues and gas prices and inflation and not toward critical race theory in their schools. they want good education. >> joe biden is not pushing critical race theory being taught in schools. >> he's not, but the election in virginias was nationalized. terry mcauliffe put it in and glenn youngkin really just focused on bread and butter issues. and i think that's what the democrats need to do. they can't push too much. >> let me list what they are pushing as part of this build back better jebd right now. paid maternity leave got 80% approval. boosting minimum wage got 60% approval. so a lot of of the things do seem to be broadly popular. and my polling shows that if you just ask, hey, would you like paid leave, of course, people say that. who wouldn't. i do think it's an incredibly important social policy. we pushed for it back then. but then i ask, do you think we can affo

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

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

defended paul gosar before he was censured by the house for tweeting an anime video showing him killing alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> have nothing to do but looking for ways to get offended. >> reporter: turning the floor speech into a tirade singling out democrats. >> the squad member from minnesota paid her husband, not her brother husband, the other one, over a million dollars in campaign funds. this member is allowed on the foreign affairs committee while praising terrorists. >> reporter: congresswoman omar called for house leadership to take action against congresswoman boebert. says normalizing bigotry endangers her life and lives of other muslims across the world. she did not specifically mention her apology or if her office heard from the congresswoman. sunlen serfaty, cnn. >> with me now, ron brownstein, political analyst and senior editor for "the atlantic." what's your prediction. what do you think kevin mccarthy will do when lawmakers are back in washington this week? >> nothing. look, the pattern has been clear, whether it is marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, others along the way. as

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

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

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

as you know, the video showing a photo shop of gosar killing alexandria owecasioocasio-corte. he puts the video back up. he retweets the video where someone included. not exactly the picture of remorse, brianna. this is important. this is not paul gosar's first trip around the controversy machine. in 2017, he said that an obama sympathizer, his words, was responsible for the charlottesville. the day after john mccain was diagnosed with a brain tumor, gosar's chief of staff texted a lawyer for the governor, doug ducey, and said he would be interested in the seat. he has been on the front end of promoting qanon conspiracy theories. appeared at a february event with a height supremacist. and he has called for not just another recall of the arizona results but re-running of them. he wants joe biden and donald trump to run that election again in arizona which, by the way, isn't a thing. how will the republicans respond? as the tape showed, you had jordan, mccarthy and others saying this is just partisan. well, if republicans take over the house in 2022, as i would say, seems likely

arizona who is sort of in this fringe wing posted a video of himself murdering another congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez. mccarthy said nothing about this. did not encourage a sit-down and democrats ended up taking him off his committee and censuring him. he called her and he issued a public apology. will he say with that a jay. she will walk it back and is clearly getting pressure from others to walk back that apology but the fact she said that she was sorry and that she's reached out toil han omar's office is something that we haven't seen these republicans do in the past, and so i think in that regard democrats would say that this is a welcome first step. obviously they are going to want to see more in terms of, you know, future actions. they don't want to see this sort rhetoric again, but, look, any time someone makes a comment like this that's clear islamophobic there could be a teachable learning moment and if boebert is sincere she should sit down with omar and try make am amends, people on capitol hill would welcome that. >> it's more than that has been done. boebert said she was s

criticism from democrats for posting a photoshopped anime video depicting him killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez then attacking president biden. so far there has been silence from republican house leadership. kevin mccarthy has said nothing about it. as for congressman gosar's constituents, "360's" randi kaye went to his district in arizona to see what some of them think. >> i love him. he's a godsend to us just like trump was. >> reporter: in prescott, arizona republican congressman paul gosar is a popular guy. in 2020 he got nearly 70% of the vote in this deep red county. but as far as the animation he recently posted online, reaction here even among republicans is mixed. >> as a constituent of his and a supporter of congressman gosar's, you're not okay with this? >> no, i'm not okay with it. >> reporter: why inject violence into the mix and why can't the congressman just disagree with the others on -- >> the issues. that's what they should be doing. just agree to disagree and go back to the old days when people could disagree and not be violent about it. >> i don't think it viol

yesterday congressman goes ar was censured and removed from two committees animating himself killing alexandria ocasio cortez and joe biden. >> here's what alexandra ocasio cortez about reversing that punishment. >> i would love leader mccarthy to shout that from the rooftops. please let him communicate to the entire country that he is deeply supportive of people who are violent towards women and that he is deeply supportive of members and deeply accepting of members who fund raise for neonaz i organizations and placing them on important -- on important committees. >> also tonight in the category of least surprising, ever the former president endorsed congressman gosar making no mention of the controversy calling him, quote, a loyal supporter of our america first agenda. joining us now to try to make sense of it all, good luck with that, cnn chief political analyst gloria borger and krikr kirsten powers, author of "saving grace." >> they kicked off their committee seats and it's retribution. it's -- just the whole thing is just -- this is where we're at. it's really just depressing. >> yeah. an

show -- of the anime he recently posted on twitter and instagram depicting him killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez with a sword, and then swinging two swords at president biden. ♪ >> so that's part of it. the congressman's animated fantasy of murdering a fellow member of congress and menacing the president and this is the congressman's sister jennifer talking about her brother. >> this is something that i have to openly wonder. does he have to act on it himself before we believe that he is -- he is a sociopath. where is the accountability? >> as to her question, the white house condemned the video. house speaker pelosi said athletes of violence against members of congress and the president of the united states must not be tolerated. and kevin mccarthy. guess what he said. nothing. we invited him on the program as well but heard nothing back. congressman gosar, who we also invited on tonight, tweeted out a cartoon response earlier today. the message saying it's a cartoon, relax. then later, he put out a statement which says in part that the anime quote depicts the symbolic nature of

and i think actually by passing this bipartisan infrastructure pill that we've actually undermined alexandria ocasio-cortez and the socialist wing of the democratic party from being able to hold infrastructure hostage. and now they have lost their leverage. and i think that's an important thing to say. at the end of the day, i think it was those of us who were willing to pass this that did the what's in the best interest of america. . >> appreciate seeing you this morning. please come back on "new day". >> thank you. >>> so how could the infrastructure bill help relieve supply chain shortages? the white house joins us live in just a few minutes. >>> why ted cruz and other republicans are trolling big bird. >> and a juror kicked off a jury who told a joke about jacob blake. this is the new world of work. each day looks different than the last. but, whatever work becomes, the world works with servicenow. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of b

republican congressman who posted this video meme, which he treated, of him killing representative alexandria ocasio-cortez, a cartoon anime thing where he superimposed his face and her face. she calls it a fantasy murder video, basically. he also on this video shows himself brandishing swords at president joe biden. you know, and so far i haven't heard from republicans at all about this. >> no, and listen, conservative women in particular have been frequently the victims of this kind of misogyny, the death fantasies, in some cases rape fantasies, i've been on the receiving end of that and it is really gross. conservatives used to stand up to people like keith olbermann from his misogynist attacks. when they wocome from the right from paul gosar, from donald trump, it is crickets. it undercuts what are legitimate arguments against misogyny, which are bad for all women, regardless of your party, when you're silent about the misogyny coming from your own. paul gosar is a cancer in the party, i think. i can't believe that, you know, he's frankly that he's still there. >> think about the message
