>>> HERE AT THE KATIE PHANG SHOW, WE ARE KEEPING SCORES, HOUSE REPUBLICANS FAMOUS FOR GETTING NOTHING DONE IN WASHINGTON BUT THEY DID MANAGE TO GET TWO THINGS DONE THIS WEEK, NEITHER HELPS AMERICANS AND BOTH OR A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME. ONE, A COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND IN CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR REFUSING TO RELEASE AUDIOTAPES FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. NOT CONTEMPT OF COURT BUT CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS. THE SECOND, ALLOWING CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE TO INSULT TWO OF HER FELLOW LAWMAKERS WITH IMPUNITY. HERE IS SOME OF THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN GREENE AND REPRESENTATIVES JASMINE CROCKETT AND AOC. >> DO YOU KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE? >> OUT OF ORDER. >> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT -- >> I THINK YOUR FAKE EYELASHES ARE MESSING UP. >> HOLD ON! >> HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON. >> ARE YOUR FEELINGS HURT? >> BABY GIRL! >> YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER. >> YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INTELLIGENCE. IF SOMEONE ON THIS COMMITTEE THEN STARTS TALKING ABOUT SOMEBODY'S BLEACH BLONDE BAD BUILT BUTCH BODY, THAT WOULD NOT BE ENGAGING IN PERSONALITIES, CORRECT? >> WHAT NOW? [ LAUGHTER ] >> JOINING IS TEXAS CONGRESSWOMAN JASMINE CROCKETT , MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE I WILL GIVE YOU A 10, GOLD MEDAL FOR THAT ALLITERATION. YOU RESPONDED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER THAT DUSTUP. SAYING, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MENTALLY DEFICIENT PEOPLE WHO CANNOT READ AND FOLLOW RULES OR DON'T GIVE A END UP IN CONGRESS. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR YOUR FELLOW CONGRESSWOMAN? >> DON'T COME FOR ME. THAT IS ALL I NEED TO TELL HER. WE SHOWED UP READY TO WORK BUT WE COULD NOT HAVE OUR HEARING AT 11:00, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A HEARING, AND RIDICULOUS WE NEEDED TO HAVE IT. WE SHOWED UP. THEY ARE IN THE MAJORITY AND THEY SET THE AGENDA, THIS IS WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS A PRIORITY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEY DECIDED THEY WOULD SKIP WORK AND GO TO NEW YORK TO BE INVOLVED IN THE TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP. WE GET BACK AT 8:00 P.M. AND, INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON WHAT THE TASK AT HAND WAS, WHETHER OR NOT MERRICK GARLAND WOULD BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE JUDGE IN THE CASE, AND I ASKED HER, DO YOU KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE? IT DEVOLVED AND THE CHAIRMAN BROKE THE AGREEMENT HE HAD MADE WITH HER TO BE -- HER WORDS TAKEN DOWN, WHICH MEANT SHE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE COMMITTEE WHICH WOULD HAVE HELPED EVERYBODY. HE DECIDED TO CHANGE HIS RULING AND I DECIDED TO INQUIRE THROUGH A POINT OF INQUIRY ABOUT WHAT AND COULD -- WHAT COULD AND COULD NOT BE SAID. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A NEW YORK TIMES REPORT WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN FLAG WAS FLOWN OUTSIDE THE HOME OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO. IN JANUARY OF 2021, BETWEEN THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL AND THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT BIDEN. THE FLAG IS A SYMBOL BY PROTESTERS USED BY THEM THAT YEAR, CONTESTING THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION, JUSTICE ALITO BLAMING HIS WIFE, SAYING HE HAD NO INVOLVEMENT. TOTAL CHAOS WITH THE GOP IN THE HOUSE AND BEFORE ANOTHER RESIDENCE ELECTION WITH A FEAR OF MORE VIOLENCE BECAUSE JANUARY 6th WAS NOT AN ABERRATION BUT APPARENTLY THE NORM. WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEBODY LIKE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IS FLYING THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN SUPPORTING INSURRECTIONIST, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> FIRST OF ALL, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THESE GROWN MEN IN POWERFUL POSITIONS THAT ARE POINTING TO THEIR WIVES AND SAYING, LOOK OVER THERE BUT DON'T LOOK AT ME, I WANT TO INTRODUCE THEM TO A SONG CALLED "WE ARE ONE." TWO, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE JUST RODE OUT OUR COURT REFORM TASK FORCE, MYSELF AND JAMIE RASKIN, ADAM SCHIFF, AND HANK JOHNSON, WE HAVE THREE PIECES OF LEGISLATION WE BELIEVE SHOULD BE MOVED FORWARD AND WE WANT TO BETTER EDUCATE OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE HOUSE ABOUT WHY THIS SHOULD BE A BIPARTISAN ISSUE. WE NEED REFORM AND WE NEEDED IT NOT NOW BUT YESTERDAY. RIGHT NOW, WE WILL PUSH FORWARD AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND ETHICS. OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A LAWYER TO KNOW THAT THERE SHOULD BE A REFUSAL ON ANY OF THE JANUARY 6th THINGS THAT WILL COME BEFORE THIS COURT BY NOT ONLY ALITO BUT BY CLARENCE THOMAS, HE HAS A WIFE, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE TRYING TO SEPARATE THE TWO THAT HE HAS A WIFE THAT WAS ENGAGED IN ACTIONS AND A DISGRACE THAT TOOK PLACE ON JANUARY 6th. >> CONGRESSWOMAN JASMINE CROCKETT TO THANK YOU FOR
