And now for a moment of clarity.

Also joining us former chairman of the RNC, now co-host of MSNBC's The Weekend.

Michael Steele is here.

Michael Steele, I can see you're fired up from here.

You go first.

Yes.

So here's a deal. You asked the question, you know, do Republicans care? No. The speaker just made that very clear. You're right. He has a cheerleader for all of this. And there will be no slowing of this train.

Y'all, all of us need to get our heads out of the clouds of thinking that somehow, as we were talking, your last segment, you know, the folks are, well, I hope we can work with them.

They don't want to work with you, boo.

They want to take you out and I'm not for dinner.

Okay? Just so you understand what going out is. They want you out of the picture. They want you powerless and groveling. They want they are now the superiors. They're now the ones in charge.

50 years of retribution and going back to Republicans complained about every little thing, all of that's coming back now.

And so, yeah, I think we're in a position where we see the Speaker, the House, the majority leader in the Senate, just making the lane wider for the tools of destruction to flow through down that

Appian way, if you will, if you need a visual. All of these things coming into the great city

to tear it down and to blow it up. You know, the nominees for, you know, Direct of National Intelligence,

the FBI, Department of Health, they're all getting passed. Everybody's running around this

town acting like there's some controversy here that Republican senators are concerned and

perplexed and worried about, you know, whether or not this person is qualified.

They don't give a damn if these people are qualified. They don't. Why are we pretending they do?

Everybody's now talking about Senator Cassidy, like he's going to do something monumental like,

oh, dare I say it, vote against Donald Trump's nominee?

Come on.
