and he listed joe biden, any listed alexandria ocasio-cortez among others. and here is escalating. and we have been pointed out about that killing on the animated videos that is to stir and bone-chilling. they slice their spinal cord with two summits rice cords moving in opposite directions. i found that absolutely bone-chilling. so for him to say that he didn't know that somehow it was a joke, and for members of the house not to step up is really, for me, would've been despicable. if they did, i would absolutely honor that they took away his assignments, and honored representative in putting that motion forward. but this is not the end. this is the first step. and again, i'm looking forward to attorney general merrick garland's charges against my brother. >> when your brother did speak to day, he did not apologize. and he did blame his staff. let's listen to what he had to say, today. >> i do not in spells violence among anyone. i've never have. it was not my purpose to make anyone upset. i voluntarily took the cartoon down, not because it was itself a, threat but because some tho

does he need to act on his sociopathic fantasy for representative alexandria ocasio-cortez? i am very concerned for she and other members. and this is absolutely unacceptable. i do not understand it. and i'm livid, lawrence. >> congresswoman ocasio-cortez tweeted a reply tonight. she said "so while i was en route to glasgow, a creepy member i work with who fund raises for neo-nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me. and he'll face no consequences because leader mccarthy cheers him on with excuses." she obviously puts up with more threats than most people in the history of the house of representatives, but what is new is that those threats are coming from a member of the house of representatives. >> and you would think that those very members alongside this person would hold him accountable. no. they leave it to family members to come forward in the public and it's on a show like yours, which by the way, thank you for letting me speak out here again. this is my first time on your show, but i appreciate any opportunity to put a spotlight on this awful man. i mean,

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

and that is where we must draw the line independent of party, identity, or belief. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was not alone. other members also rose to speak about the increasing threats they have faced recently. >> i am a victim of violence. i know what it's like. i also was in the gallery clamoring for life when the shots rang out in the speakers' lobby. violence against women in politics is a global phenomenon. a 2016 survey by the interparliamentary union found 82% of women parliamentarians have experienced psychological violence. and 44% have received threats of death, rape, beatings, or abduction. the intent of these online threats against women is clear. silence them. strip them of their power. and discourage them from running for office. >> congresswoman jackie speier of california is also the sponsor of the resolution to censure paul gosar. she'll be joining me along with sheila jackson lee of texas in a bit. threats and violence are as best we can tell becoming more commonplace in politics. in a recent "new york times" piece, debbie dingell, democrat from michigan, sai

today alexandria ocasio-cortez said, it's been well over a week. he not only has not apologized. he not only has not made any sort of contact or outreach, neither he nor the republican leader of the party, but he has also doubled down. today paul gosar said the video is, quote, funny and completely harmless with kevin mccarthy clinging to his cowardly silence about the video and doing nothing about paul gosar. nancy pelosi decided to do to herself. she is going to bring in a censure vote against paul gosar to the house floor tomorrow. tonight the house rules committee voted on party lines to send a censure resolution to the house floor for that vote tomorrow. the resolution will strip paul gosar of his committee assignments in the house. he will be removed from the house oversight committee where alexandria ocasio-cortez is also a member, and he will also be removed from the house natural resources committee. two republicans, liz cheney and adam kinzinger, support censuring paul gosar. if the house votes to censure paul gosar tomorrow, congressman gosar must stand in the well of

that is where we must draw the line independent of party, identity, or belief. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez other members also chose to speak. >> i am a victim of violence. i know what it's like. i also was in that gallery, clambering for life, when the shots rang out in the speakers lobby. violence against women in politics is a global phenomenon. a 2016, there was a survey in the union found that 80% of women policy -- parliamentarians have received psychological violent. 44% have received threats of death, rape, beatings, or abductions. the intent of these online threats against women, is clear. silence them. strip them of their power, and discourage them from running for office. >> congresswoman jackie speier of california is also the sponsor of the resolution of this censure for paul gosar. also sherrilyn ifill congress will join me later. in recent new york times pace, debbie dingell socialist and by men with assault rifles outside of her home last year after she was denounced by tucker carlson on his fox news show. she also showed a portion of a voice mail one of hundre

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

gosar tweeted a violent cartoon animation, showing him killing a member of congress, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez, and attacking president biden. here's rachel scott. >> reporter: tonight, for the first time in a decade, the house voting to censure one of its own -- representative paul gosar -- after the arizona republican tweeted out a violent cartoon showing him killing representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. >> the house has resolved that representative paul gosar of arizona be censured. >> reporter: speaker pelosi declaring gosar's actions particularly egregious in the wake of the capitol riot. >> when a member uses his or her national platform to encourage violence, tragically, people listen to those words and they may act upon them. >> and for anyone who threatens to apply the same standard to democrats in the future, i'm with you. >> reporter: representative ocasio-cortez calling on republicans to simply acknowledge that what gosar did is wrong. >> does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? will you allow depictions of violence a

alexandria ocasio-cortez said this on the house floor today. >> it's pretty cut and dry. do you find-- does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? would you allow depictions of violence, against women, against colleagues-- would you allow that in your home? do you think this should happen on a school board? in a city council? in a church? and if it's not acceptable there, why should it be accepted here? >> reporter: gosar said he was trying to be metaphorical and going against biden administration policies and immigration. i want to look at what he said he was doing today on the floor and what republicans said in response including leader kevin mccarthy. >> i voluntarily took the cartoon down. not because it was itself a threat, but because some thought it was. out of compassion for those who generally felt offense, i self-censored. >> for democrats, this vote isn't about a video; it's about control. that's the one and only thing democrats are interested in. >> reporter: and republicans by and large supported osar. they don't support him behind the scenes.

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

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

progressives are stressing it won't be big enough with alexandria ocasio-cortez telling the "new york times" why are we taking this as a legislative compromise when the opportunity is so much greater or when biden could do this stuff with the stroke of a pen and just reminding us that he is choosing not to? president biden holds jay powell can help keep inflation under control. >> in 2018 he was confirmed with 84 votes in the united states senator. >> then senator kamala harris wasn't one of them and she didn't attend today's ceremony. only appearing either. >> why is jay powell the right pick. >> a trump appointee focus more on climate. >> we have to make sure our financial system can withstand climate change and prepared to transition to clean energy. >> clean energy is a ways away though. thinking of tapping the strategic petroleum reserve after admitting it won't do much. >> probably reduce the price of gas maybe 18 cents or so. a gallon. >> the president celebrated his 79th birthday this weekend. this afew moments ago landed at fort bragg. during the trip down jen psaki was asked

marjorie taylor greene has gotten into fights with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, liz cheney, jamie raskin and she's able to do that because house minority leader kevin mccarthy hasn't said anything and the idea that he hasn't said anything about this paul gosar video that twitter had the good sense to finally take down tells me all i need to know about how fearful and concerned we should be about a speaker mccarthy if the republicans take control of the house next year's midterms. judy: gary, who is responsible for this and do you see a turning back from this kind of language? >> i hope there's a turning back and i think it needs to come from everybody in congress saying, wait a minute, i'm in the united states congress, i'm not a 12-year-old playing a video game here. i don't want to be accused of both-siderism here and i will be but i think back to a lot of the memes that members of the democratic party were retweeting about donald trump when he was in office that are pretty disgusting. i think of nancy pelosi, after trump finishes a state-of-the-union address, ripping up

should be noted he serves on that committee alongside congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. he will be stripped of his seat on the committee on natural resources. that will leave him with no committee assignments which will leave him nothing to do. another thing to keep an eye on tomorrow alongside that vote on congressman gosar is the sentencing tomorrow of capitol rioter jacob chansley. came to be known as the qanon shaman. you may remember him as the guy running around the capitol on january 6th with a six-foot spear wearing horns and a fur hat. the justice department is asking the court to sentence him to prison for more than four years. they are asking for more than 51 months in prison for him. if the judge accepts the justice department's recommendation, that would make him -- that would give him the longest sentence of any january 6th defendant thus far but again that vote on gosar and that sentencing decision on this guy would both be happening tomorrow. watch this space. small businesses like yours make gift-giving possible. now, comcast business has an exclusive gi

resolution to censor paul gosar after he posted an animated video of him assassinating congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez cortez an attacking president biden. the statement said, for a member of congress to post immunity lighted video on his social media accounts to depict himself killing representative alexandria ocasio-cortez is a clear cut case for singer. for that member to post such a video on his official instagram account and to use his official resources in the house of representatives to further violence against elected officials goes beyond the pale. joining us now are two of the house democrats cosponsoring, that censure of paul gosar, brenda lawrence of michigan and congresswoman debbie roy wasserman-schultz of missouri florida. what's brought you to the point of demanding censure, brenda lawrence? >> it was clear that this push for violence -- this is not having an opposition or an opposing view. this is about inflicting harm on human beings. i was one of those members on the floor on january the 6th where it was the most bipartisan day in congress. because republicans were run

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

i was 7:30 in the morning on saturday, anderson, at the farmer's market in alexandria. james carville knows that well. he use d to live, i think, not too far from there and it was packed not for a terry mcauliffe rally but for a glenn youngkin rally and that is an area -- zal al alexandria -- where joe biden won by 80%. 8-0 percent just last year. if that kind of enthusiasm, anecdotally -- i am 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 are a mcauliffe supporter. you helped fund raise for him. many other democrats, as well. how concerned are you and how important is tomorrow? >> well, i'm very concerned. it's a very important race. i really want to win it bad. if -- if we lose, i will be profoundly disappointed. i think john and dana have done a -- a -- a good job of setting a table of what's going on. i would say and i don't know how determinant this is but i have seen ex

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

alexandria ocasio-cortez was one of the highest profile targets of the very real and very violent attack on our capitol less than a year ago. now, gosar has had all week to apologize for the video. but he hasn't. instead he's put out memes mocking democrats for caring about it. god forbid anyone be concerned about animosity toward one of their own colleagues. again, it doesn't matter where congressman gosar's head is on this, because it's not his call whether his actions have consequences. joining me is congresswoman jackie speier, one of the lead sponsors of today's resolution calling for the censure of congressman paul gosar. congresswoman, thank you for being with us tonight. we haven't really talkeabout the fact that you've actually been a real victim of violence, in 1978, you were shot several times on the tarmac in jonestown. you take this stuff -- everybody should take this seriously, but this is not a moment in time that seems appropriate for anime cartoons depicting the killing of a member of congress. >> ali, thank you for raising this issue tonight, because silence equals taci

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

resolution to censure paul gosar after he posted an animated video of him assassinating congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden. the co-sponsors of the censure resolution against paul gosar said in a statement tonight, for a member of congress to post a manipulated video on his social media accounts depicting himself killing representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and attacking president biden is a clear-cut case for censure. for that member to post such a video on his official instagram account and use his official congressional resources in the house of representatives to further violence against elected officials goes beyond the pale. joining us now are two of the house democrats co-sponsoring that censure of paul gosar, democratic congresswoman brenda lawrence of michigan and representative debbie wasserman-schultz of florida. representative lawrence, let me begin with you. what brought you to the point of demanding censure? >> it was clear that this rhetoric and this push for violence, this is not having an opposition or opposing view. this is about inflicting h

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

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

congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez focused on exactly that issue when former trump lawyer, michael cohen, testified to the house oversight committee two years ago. >> to your knowledge did the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company? >> yes. >> who else knows the president did this. >> alan weisselberg, rob leiberman. >> do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to compare them? >> yes. we funded it through trump org. >> and that is something a grand jury would know how to do. "the washington post" reports that the second grand jury was expected to hear evidence for the very first time today. the first manhattan grand jury investigating donald trump and his business returned indictments of tax fraud against donald trump's company and his chief financial officer, alan weisselberg. we'll have more on the new grand jury investigation, which will be led by the newly elected manhattan district attorney later in this hour. we begin tonight with the most absurd federal court hearing in history on the issue of presidential e

he had tweeted an animated video of himself striking new york democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez with a sword. only 2 republicans voted for censure. we'll return to this, after the news summary. attorneys for kyle rittenhouse demanded a mistrial today in kenosha, wisconsin. they complained about the quality of a key video that the jury wants to see again, as it deliberates. rittenhouse is charged with murdering 2 men and wounding a ird during racial justice protests. and, in brunswick, georgia, the man who killed ahmaud arbery took the stand to testify that he feared for his life. travis mcmichael and 2 other white men face murder charges. we will return to this case later on in the program. the white house today announced plans to invest billions of dollars to generate more "covid" vaccine doses. officials said producing another 1 billion doses could have benefits both global and domestic. >> the first application is likely to be used produce more covid-19 vaccines for the world , and then we have this ability for any future threat to produce mrna vaccines to counter that. stephanie:

joining us live from youngkin head quarters from virginia, alexandria hoff. the crowd is getting bigger by the minute. >> it does. youngkin has been doing a good job of drawing crowds, this is the enthusiasm that has snowballed in recent weeks and bubbling over here in chantilly. i was talking to a couple of supporters, one of which heads up latinos for youngkin. he's an independent. he voted for mcauliffe last time but his mind was changed on the issue of education. we'll see how far that goes as a staple of this election and this entire race. another interesting note is he followed youngkin down over the weekend. he toured far southwest virginia, which some could have assumed was a waste of time that close to the election. now we're seeing the numbers come out of the southwest where voters are overperforming and giving him an edge in areas where he didn't expect to do as well. that is a tactic that they very may well pay off. it's something that campaign as cross the country are going to analyze. they're going to look at this campaign, look at his emphasis

he's not apologizing to alexandria ocasio-cortez. not apologizing to president biden. and the one thing that i will say i would watch, because you saw it happen with marjorie taylor greene is after she got stripped of his committees, she made a ton of money in fund-raising. so they get this name in the news and then it's a self-perpetuating cycle of they then also get bigger platforms. >> now, professor freeman, your book is an incredible book. i had you on my podcast, why is this happening, to talk about it. it's about congress and threats of violence that sort of hung over the entire body, particularly in the run-up to the civil war. given that as this academic work you have done, what do you see -- what do you think when you see this gosar video, when you see people saying it's a joke, just a video, yada yada yada. does that scan to you? >> no. i mean, essentially, it's easy to dismiss that and say, well, it's not a real act of violence. that it's, you know, only a video. but looking back to the 1850s, what you see is threats like that don't have to be violent to ha

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 afternoon. >> 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 said this wasn't appropriate in

>> bret: aishah hasnie live in alexandria, virginia. let's bring in senator pat toomey. senator, thanks for being here. >> hey, bret, thanks for having me. >> bret: what's your reaction to this move by the president as we see gas prices high. as we start heading into the holidays? >> it's unbelievable, bret. like, let's be honest. what was the first thing or certainly one of the very first things this president did was shut down the keystone pipeline, a tremendous source of oil. suspending the ability to drill for oil and gas in places where we have oil and gas. and so, nobody should be surprised and i don't think most pennsylvanians are surprised that prices are going through the roof. supplies are shrinking. now the president goes around pleading with opec countries to increase their production. how ridiculous. this isn't going to work. streak oil opec can decide to scale back to produce to make sure the prices stay high. you fundamentally you can't begin the process of crushing supply and not expect to see a price spike. >> bret: here is the president and the energy s

and i think we heard from congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez yesterday in the house. she is the one depicted in the animated video put out by congressman gosar, the republican from arizona. she's the victim in the video. and she gave a very plaintive cry on the house floor to speaker mccarthy saying, why is it so hard to say something is wrong? gu he didn't do that. he played whataboutism. and that's following the lead of donald trump. and this is just the latest example of just how tight trump's grip is on the republican party. >> well, garrett, just button this down for a moment before i want to bring in kristin and talk about the president's huge agenda today and whether or not that matches up with what people really care about right now on the economy. but garrett, another point about kevin mccarthy. >> andrea, as i was hearing your question to jonathan, i was reminded that mccarthy was asked about trump today at that same press conference and said, in fact, that the former president called him this morning from the golf course, when reporters pressed mccarthy abo

does he need to act on his fantasy for alexandria ocasio-cortez? i am concerned for she and other members and this is absolutely unacceptable. i do not understand it. >> so why does kevin mccarthy see his hold on power dependent on allowing paul gosar to do these things? >> this is where we have to turn the mirror back on american society, because there's some people in america who find this appealing, right. i think that's the deeper question. that's the kind of thing that i discuss in my research in the book, because it is not just paul gosar. it is that people like paul gosar in the republican party. he has a base. so i think we need to acknowledge not just that this person has been able to seek and obtain power, but actually that the backlash from his own base isn't there. so what does that say about us, right? i say "us" in the sense of a subset of the u.s. population, not all of it. i think it is important to understand there are dynamics going on in the united states that are rewarding these kinds of behaviors. so if leaders aren't willing t

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

for example, real speaker of the house, congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez, she's now lashing out over the use ofl the term "woke" tweeting in part, "woke is a term the pundits are now using as a derogatory euphemism for civil rights injustice, making up a woke problem results in putting tscivil and voting rights on the back burner." here with reaction, author of the best seller, "for such a time as this," outnumbered coast kayleigh mcenany along with cohost for the clay travis and buck sexton show, clay travis, who still hasn't given me my let's go brandon shirt, but who's counting? >> it's on the way! >> sean: i did get a book fromla kayleigh mcenany, i didn't get a shirt from you, but that's just saying. let me just start with this whole thing about woke. we all know what woke means. it means she was clearly responding -- clay, we will start with you. clearly responding to james carville saying all of thisle nonsense, all of this hard-core left-wing socialism an end wokeism, is killing the party. i know james carville. i've debated james cargill. i actually like him, he's a fun

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

just in the past few days posted an online cartoon video of himself showing him as a cartoon killing alexandria ocasio-cortez. posted like a murder fantasy about killing one of his colleagues in the house. house speaker nancy pelosi has called on the ethics committee even outside law enforcement to look into this matter anded to take action against congressman gosar posting this threat that he's going to kill his colleague. you know, she has suggested that perhaps at least the republican party in congress, in the house, might take action to, i don't know, do something in response to that. what did they say the options are? remove him from his committees? so far no sign that congressman paul gosar is going to face that punishment or anything like that for what he did, again, threatening to kill a member of congress. but if you're a republican who committed the grave crime of voting for a bill to fund road repairs and internet access to small towns, well that grave crime is potentially enough to end your career in the republican party. that's the kind of sin you might actually pay for. today, the
