>> REMEMBER THESE GUYS? THE REPUBLICAN YOUNG GUNS? IN 2010 WITH BOY BAND GENERATION OF REPUBLICANS WHO WERE GOING TO CHANGE THE PARTY. YOU KNOW, PAUL RYAN OF THE PEANUT THE EX FLEXING. HE WAS THE CUTE ONE. AND KEVIN MCCARTHY WAS THE TAX LOVING SENSITIVE ONE. AND ERIC COUNTER WAS THE BAD BOY? A GROUP THAT WOULD FUSED PARTY POLITICS WITH WONKY POLICIES AND, WELL, YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKED OUT. RYAN MCCARTHY LOST THEIR LEADERSHIP ROLES. KANTER COULDN'T EVEN WIN A REELECTION PRIMARY. NOW INSTANCE BOY BANDS, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE A BUNCH OF PROUD BOYS. AND LOVING MAGA EXTREMISTS LIKE JIM JORDAN, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, LAUREN BOEBERT. THEY POST MEMES INSTEAD OF PASSING LAWS. NOW HEADING INTO THE 2024 ELECTION IT LOOKS LIKE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THEIR TIRED OLD SONGS ANYMORE. YESTERDAY BOEBERT CONFIRMS SHE IS SWITCHING FROM HER PURPLE COLORADO DISTRICT TO A DEEP RED ONE IN HOPES OF WINNING REELECTION. THAT IS AFTER SHE WAS NEARLY KNOCKED OFF BY HER DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER LAST YEAR. WHAT WOULD WE SAY ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PROMINENT MEMBERS LIKE ERIC SWALWELL OR AOC HAD TO GO DISTRICT SHOPPING IN ORDER TO STAY IN POWER? LONG-TERM CALIFORNIA CONGRESSWOMAN MAXINE WATERS CURRENTLY SERVES AS A TOP DEMOCRAT ON THE HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE. SHE JOINS ME. NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH, CONGRESSWOMAN WATERS. I HAVE TO START WITH THIS. YOU HAVE SERVED IN OFFICE, YOU HAVE ADVISED PRESIDENTS, YOU HAVE SEEN UPS AND DOWNS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. IF ERIC SWALWELL, IF A ELSIE, IF YOU HAD TO GO DISTRICT DROPPING IN ORDER TO GET REELECTED, WHAT WOULD THAT BE SAYING ABOUT THE STATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? >> IT WOULD BE SAYING THAT WE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REPRESENTING THE DISTRICTS WHERE WE HAVE STARTED OUT AND NOW WE WANT TO SWITCH AND WE GO AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. MAYBE WE WILL GET ELECTED IN A DIFFERENT DISTRICT, BUT BOWL BOEBERT IS NOT GOING TO GET ELECTED. SHE WAS CAUGHT PUBLICLY VAPING ARE NOT ONLY WAS SHE DOING THAT, SHE WAS BEING GROPED, SHE WAS BEING FELT ON BY THE BOYFRIEND. NOW THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO TALK ABOUT CARING ABOUT CHILDREN AND EDUCATION AND FAMILIES. EVEN IF SHE GOES TO A NEW DISTRICT THAT IS MORE CONSERVATIVE, I THINK THOSE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THOSE DISTRICTS WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT SOMEONE THAT THEY WANT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THEM BECAUSE OF WHAT SHE HAS TRANSPORTING TO THEIR CHILDREN. >> SHE'S TRYING TO GO INTO CAN BOX FORMER DISTRICT. AND BROCK WAS ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS SAY WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE HE WAS. TIRED OF PEOPLE LIKE LAUREN BOEBERT. IS SOMEONE WHO HAS WORKED WITH PRESIDENTS AND GOTTEN THINGS DONE, WHO TALK DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO WORKED FOR BARACK OBAMA, WHAT IS LIKE BEING IN A CONGRESS THAT CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANYTHING DONE? THIS IS THE LEAST PRODUCTIVE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SESSION SINCE 1989, ONLY 20 BILLS PASSED. WHAT IS THAT LIKE FOR, YOU SO USED TO GETTING THINGS DONE IN CONGRESS? >> IT'S PATHETIC. THEY ARE IN DISARRAY. IT IS CHAOS. IT IS PITIFUL. OUT OF 700 VOTES OR SO THEY GOT, WHAT, 27 VOTES ALL YEAR? AND ONLY 26 OF THEM WERE PASSED? SO THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DIRECTING AND RUNNING THIS GOVERNMENT. AND SO THEY ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE. AND IF THEY THINK SOMEHOW THAT THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, AND THEY'RE GOING TO WIN BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL HIDING BEHIND DONALD TRUMP, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BACK THE >> HOUSE, FOR SURE. >>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU OFTEN HEAR, POLITICAL ANALYST, JOURNALIST TALK ABOUT IS WHERE IS THE ENTHUSIASM GOING TO BE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? YOU ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PARTY. YOU ARE KNOWN BY OLDER VOTERS, YOUNGER VOTERS, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR WORLD WILL BE IN 2024 WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKING TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE DISENCHANTED, SPEAKING TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THE DEMOCRATS CAN'T GET ANYTHING, THE REPUBLICANS, WHERE YOU WANT TO SAY THAT THOSE PEOPLE NEXT YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY TURN OUT AND VOTE SO THAT THE HOUSE CAN GET BACK INTO THE HANDS OF -- >> ONE THING WE NEED TO DO IS REMIND PEOPLE OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT BIDEN HAS DONE. WE DID A REMARKABLE JOB DURING COVID MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE HAD FOOD ON THE TABLE. DON'T FORGET, THE PPP THAT WE CREATED IN ORDER FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THEIR PERSONNEL AND TO KEEP THOSE DOORS OPEN. BIDEN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS HAPPENED TO THE DEBT THAT THEY OWE BECAUSE OF THEIR STUDENT LOANS. HE'S REDUCED THAT, HE'S WORKING AT IT, AND HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB. HE REALLY HAS BEEN A STRONG DEMOCRAT WHO HAS DELIVERED. AND HE HAS PROMISED A LOT, AND HE HAS DELIVERED A LOT. AND FOR BLACK PEOPLE HE HAS CERTAINLY DELIVERED. >> I TEND TO BE SKEPTICAL WHEN I SEE ALL OF THESE NUMBERS AND SEE THAT BLACK FOLKS ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP. I DON'T BUY. IT I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF AFRICAN AMERICANS, I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF ANYBODY WHO SAYS THAT THEY ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP. WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, WHEN YOU HEAR IT SAID BY SERIOUS JOURNALISTS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT THAT BLACK PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR, BLACK MEN ARE MOVING TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN L.A.? >> I HEAR A LITTLE BIT OF THAT. BUT SOMETIMES I THINK IT'S DONE TO CREATE CONTROVERSY. AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE IF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START TO TALK LIKE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SUPPORTING TRUMP. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BLACK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THEIR FRIENDS ARE. BLACK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE IN DIVIDING AND CONQUERING. AND THAT HE IS ALIGNED NOT ONLY WITH THE KKK, BUT WITH THE PROUD BOYS, WITH THE OATH KEEPERS, WITH THE QANON, THESE ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS WHO ARE NOT ONLY OUT TO UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRACY, AND DISREGARD THE CONSTITUTION, AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY, AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HAPPY TO ELECT SOMEONE THAT THEY SAID ONCE, HE SAID WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR. I DON'T THINK SO. WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO, IT BLACK PEOPLE ARE, GOING TO TURN OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TURN OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS. AND I WANNA TELL YOU THAT INDEPENDENTS ARE GOING TO TURN OUT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THIS MAN WHO LOVES RUSSIA, WHO LOVES DICTATORS, WHO LOVES PUTIN,
