but cawthorn's fellow republicans do. and it is telling that these comments, these are the ones that get congressman cawthorn in trouble. republican leader kevin mccarthy of california reportedly disciplined cawthorn, like a disappointed father, telling the 26 year old he needed to earn his trust back, and claiming that cawthorn told him he embellished his comments. cawthorn, embellishing? and mccarthy spoke out so forcefully because his caucus is demanding. yet according to politico, members of the far-right house freedom caucus has considered kicking cawthorn out of the group. now, republican congressman steve will much of arkansas who is 65 years old complained that he is now having questions from constituents about orgies. the last point is not all that surprising, here is what happened, cawthorn's allegations on a right-wing podcast of shadowy sex stories got caught up in the qanon dropped that these folks have been stocking up for years, played right into the republican believe that it is full of these to praise deg

own state, north carolina, who called out cawthorn for airing this video, and while cawthorn has tried to backtrack this comment, he is still drawing criticism over it, and alex, this press conference yesterday that mccarthy spoke at came less than 24 hours after nearly every member of the house of representatives voted to ban normal trade relations with russia except for eight republicans. and cawthorn wasn't one of those republicans but it still is an example of how this party is definitely divided coming at a time when they are trying to unite. the leadership is trying to unite them even more. definitely something we're keeping an eye on ahead of the midterm elections, alex. >> it's not helpful, the division within the gop. thank you very much, allie raffa from capitol hill. >>> a chilling speech from vladimir putin where he launched threats at any russian opposing his invasion of ukraine. the new signs putin is feeling the pinch and may be poised to take others down with him. h ando take others down with him. overh to our ultimate business plan for the lowest price ever. plus choos

clearly has been an embarrassment at times cawthorn compared the real life washington to the netflix show "house of cards," and in the process, made some pretty crazy allegations about what goes on in d.c >> the sexual perversion that goes on in washington -- i mean, being kind of a young guy in washington, remember the average age is probably 60 or 70 and i look at all these people, a lot of them that i, you know, i've looked up to through my life, always paid attention to politics guys that, you know -- then all of a sudden, you get invited to, like, "oh, hey, we're going to have kind of a sexual get-together at one of our homes. you should come. and you're like, 'what did you just ask me to come to?' and then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy. or the fact that, you know, some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove, you know, addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. and it's like, wow, this is this is wild. >> seth: come on, man. do you really expect us to believe that congress could

let go to madison cawthorn who was invited to grab under carriages per him. he said the central perversion that goes on in washington, i mean being a young guy in washington where the average age is 60 or 70, i look up to these people, meaning republicans and all of a sudden you get invited to hey, we're going to a sexual get-togethers at one of our homes. you should come. and i'm like what did you just invite me to come to -- you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy or some of the people to move addiction and watch them do cocaine. merriman webster had to issue an explanation what a key bump of cocaine. if you don't do cocaine, you don't know what a key bump of cocaine is. start this off before jill comments. kevin mccarthy finally found something unacceptable to him. he didn't care if you go to a klan rally, you said in house we're having orgies with cocaine. your thoughts? >> look, as far as kevin mccarthy is concerned, the only white lines are the ones in the maga rallies. we can't talk about the other ones. i'm not shocked by that because madiso

cawthorne has lost his trust. north carolina senator thom tillis says similarly he might be backing a primary challenge. what's going on here? why all of a sudden anger at this and not marjorie taylor greene or whatever? >> thom tillis did in fact today endorse the challenger. it is, i think, the kind of thing that some congressmen found they were getting questions about. what's this about you guys all participating -- >> are you doing key bumps? >> and that, i guess, annoyed them. but it is sort of an amazing thing that this is the final straw for cawthorne not calling zelenskyy a thug. >> this is about them, that's why. they're getting questions from their constituents. do you participate in orgies and do cocaine? they went into kevin mccarthy, the minority leader, and said you've got to deal with this. but if paul gosar in an animated cartoon threatens the life of a democratic congresswoman. >> when you talk to your sources on the hill, how do they explain this very selective outrage? first of all, i didn't kno

but the reality is cawthorn is a creation of this new party and they have made him a rockstar. the head of the pro putin wing of the republican party is donald trump. you listen to the stuff and it sounds crazy about how evil and corrupt. >> i think we have lost charlie's audio. i guess the concern is that the united states will not remain united in supporting ukraine and giving in all that we can. i realize the united states is reluctant to get involved directly in any hostilities. are you concerned the support from the united states will not remain solid if we have a faction within one of our two parties that is anti-ukraine and pro-kremlin? >> i would not say i am concerned about the consistency of the support that we are receiving and thank you very much. to a lesser extent i might fear that the support would be undermined by statements like the one you are discussing. i am really surprised that this narrative receives so much attention in the u.s. media. things like that was said about world leaders many times like winston churchill was called an alcoholic and snake in the

( laughter ) come (winks) naked and ready for (winks) sex with your (

you see madison cawthorn, and you see it in marjorie taylor greene. you see it on the tucker show. this sort of like anti-, anti-putin-ism. ukraine is a made-up country. the clintons invented it. it's just a place for corrupt democrats to go. it's complete nonsense. overall, how does the republican political posture and the polling on this where putin's got a 90% unfavorable rating -- how does that end up impacting the decision space for our president in this kind of pride crisis? >> i think to some extent you have to block out -- ignorant. republicans have spent five years kind of bathing themselves in this affinity for putin-ism, if not putin himself. the leader of the party, donald trump, lavish and praising vladimir putin. we've talked about this, there is an awkward reality for the republicans, which is of vladimir putin is at the vanguard of a brand-new politics, ethnonationalism, right-wing ethnic nationalist authoritarian politics, that elected leaders and republicans have admired over the years, and subscribe to, whether that's falls in our brazil, viktor orban in hungary,

what are gop leaders saying about cawthorn's comments? >> reporter: this video has attracted a lot of attention here on capitol hill since it surfaced last week, and throughout the video, cawthorn refers to ukraine as corrupt and evil in addition to calling president zelenskyy a thug, as you mentioned. and this is an opinion that's extremely far from where the majority of the republican party, including house minority leader kevin mccarthy, view ukraine. listen to how he reacted to the video during a press conference yesterday. >> madison is wrong. if there's anything thug in this world, it's putin. this is atrocious. this is wrong. this is the aggressor. this is the one that needs to end this war. this is the one that everybody should unite against. >> reporter: and alex, this is the latest example of a shift we're seeing on capitol hill, and it's one that's really challenging party leadership. you have some far-right republicans coming out in support of russian president vladimir putin and being more critical of ukrainian president zele

will, today you had to be thinking, man, of all the days that madison cawthorn accuses his colleagues of orgies and cocaine use, you have to go on tv, but alas you do. when you left congress, you said, the republican party needed to find a principled vision for the future. are they doing that? with things like this. >> no, of course not. again, i don't know madison cawthorn, i'm not a lawyer, but i'd probably say that in the legal world, they'd say he's not a credible witness. >> you weren't attending coke orgies with fellow members of congress? >> no, in my six years of congress, i never heard of such things, never had such hints of such things. but again, this is obviously, if it was it would be a bad thing, but this is a guy that maybe he's trying to deflect, i don't know. the problem is, when you have people like that in the party, you get away from the values about the gop is supposed to be -- 71% latino district, i had to take the republican brand to places i had never seen the republican brand. i was able to talk about those old values of freedom, leads to opportunity, opportun

>> because madison cawthorn was saying it about his colleagues. it is so funny to me, i spent 12 years there, i used to have a line in my speeches that always got a big laugh. the line was as follows, people ask me why i wanted to go to the senate, the only reason i am willing to go is because it is the only place in america i can be considered a hot, young chick. these are a lot of old dudes. there are no orgies. i can assure you there are no orgies in washington with members of congress. >> clare, i am just really happy that your funny line is not that you came to congress for ortiz and cocaine. it is official, claire mccaskill, there are no orgies in congress. clare, then you, thank you both so very much. when we come back, we are heading back to ukraine. we will speak with one of our ukrainian friends who is tracking the utter devastation in civilian neighborhoods. the 11th hour continues. the 11th hour continues. once upon a time, at the magical everly estate, landscaper larry and his trusty crew... were delayed when the new kid totaled his t

i think the important voices within the party are the ones speaking out against the likes of cawthorn. despite the differences of distrust, i do think it's important that they speak publicly arm in arm to condemn these voices within the republican party. the national narrative needs to recognize that vladimir putin indeed, as the president said, is a war criminal worthy of condemnation. >> curt, let me ask you the same question, how you see what cawthorn is doing. is it a small group, or a split in the republican party? we just talk with the guest about how russian media is even using fox news, whiches roms deal with, and using them as sort of their validators. is there a split in the party as well, or is it a fringe group and just some right-wing media that does talk a lot to the republican base? >> well, whether i look at the right-wing media, they are the republican party, they are the spokes arm, the largest microphone for today's party. i think it's much more than a split than a small group of people. republicans have been doing this for a very long time. they are looking for any

among them, kevin mccarthy who apparently met with madison cawthorn today. he admitted exaggerating the story, is d.c. channeling this or is it closer? should the congressman name names? if so, do you think they want to party? the party panel is back. kevin probably and shawn fema. abby, i will start with you. he should name names for a number of reasons most the because i am incredibly curious to see who parties in d.c.

cawthorn is not alone. for years, that view was a mainstream republican talking point. going back to donald trump. a huge part of the trump story, was the false, counter narrative, that it was ukrainians with the 2016 election. not russia. he used a very real, and historic corruption of the ukrainian government, as an excuse in his attempts to deflect their campaigns engagement of this, even pushing the fake conspiracy theory. the ukrainian company, involved with hackers on hillary clinton's emails. in their defense, ukraine was a puppet nation being used to, bring him down, or pull the u.s. into war. it was our then ambassador ukraine, maria yovanovitch. fired by trump, pulled out of kyiv in the the president of the united states repeatedly said that. he sent his emissary to ukraine, basically, to fire you in the middle of the night, because he believed it. >> it's crazy. it's crazy to think back on that. and, it is dangerous. fast forward to today, where, i think, the way that president trump handled our relationship with ukraine, when the transcript was released of t

madison cawthorn is part of, that marjorie taylor greene is part of that. so our politicians in hungary, australia, canada. it take advantage of those people. how big is that worldwide? as a 10%? i'm not sure. is it larger in the united states? probably. are they going to coalesce around this over the next few weeks and months, i would guess almost certainly, yes. >> and collins, thank you as always. that's all in on this thursday night. the rachel maddow show starts with ali velshi. good evening, ali. ali velshi. good evening, ali. >> there was a chilling conversation. we'll see you tomorrow night. thanks for joining us this hour. thanks to your home for joining us this hour, i'm in i'm in budapest, the capital of budapest. the capital of hungry. hungry over 150 miles east of where we are, is hungary's border with ukraine, where i was last. that entire border is only 84 miles long, but nearly 1 million ukrainian refugees have come over that border, fleeing the russian invasion of their own country. it i

in an interview with axios, mccarthy says cawthorn admitted the claims were exaggerated and we heard leader mccarthy scold the young representative and saying there could be consequences. what does that mean? what type of punishment might we see, do we think it will impact the party's support of his re-election bid? you know, he previously said he backed the campaign? or is this going to fade from the headlines in a matter of days until he says something else outrageous? >> i think it is the latter. it is such a ridiculous, and stupid and obviously false claim that there are or gys with cocaine among members of congress. i'm not even, it is so stupid that i struggle to come up with something intelligent to say and i spoke with mccarthy yesterday about this and he's embarrassed, i mean there are lawmakers who are asking him about this, he's painting the entire congress with this brush, and i mean i'm not sure what's going on in his head, but this is just clearly nonsense, and he's going to, the party's going to support him, and they're not going to strip their support from him, it's b

but, i want to talk to you about congresswoman madison cawthorn, who now has a stark role on russian state tv after he called someone ski ethan. -- pointed out that this is someone who said turn on classified briefings about the war. so, what is your reaction and do republicans have a putin problem? >> in, short yes. remember, donald trump was of course a cheerleader for putin. and, so donald trump's biggest supporters, when he was, president people like madison cawthorn, marjorie taylor, green etc, they have been keeping up the trump's rhetoric of praising putin and bashing zelenskyy, calling him a thug, etc. you've seen a number of my republican colleagues suddenly dual one 80. i'm afraid they're going to twist our ankles with how quickly they've turned over the last 25 days, to attempt to get people to forget all of the pro russian and anti ukrainian views they've had over the last four years. some of the most die hard maga types are still sticking with the old script, it might end up costing them politically, certainly it would be best if it did. >> all, right brendan. we want to

host: something here about madison cawthorn from the huffington post, reported on yahoo! news. he called zelenskyy a thug, calling ukrainian president zelenskyy a thug reportedly making the right wing firebrand representative madison cawthorn from north carolina a star in russia. -- tweeted a clip from russian state tv on thursday showing hawthorne attacking zelinskyy as his country was being invaded and bombed by russia. the quote, "remember that he is a thug." let's go back to your calls. david is in indiana and you say yes, the u.s. is providing enough support for ukraine. why is that? caller: i think we are close to $1 billion at this time. i just want to get on the top surface, a little bit of back history with ukraine. ukraine has been one of the most corrupt countries in the -- in that circle for several years. countries have given them money, oligarchs, and one of the presidents took off with millions of dollars into just disappeared. zelenskyy is a television personality, as was trump. i don't associate the two together, but i believe in his bravery. i'm sad about the

cawthorn, for five minutes mr. cawthorn: when america projects weakness on the international stage, every day americans suffer. we know this. we are told this daily. but many everyday americans feel that geopolitics is far removed from their lives. so let's answer the question, what does it cost for america to be weak on the world stage? this cost is manifested at the pumps every day with 42% higher prices. it's shown as food prices soar, meat, poultry, eggs up over 10%. our weakness abroad produces hardships at home. if we lose our role as the world reserve currency, you are your buying power, savings, and property value could sink to historic lows. the preeminence of american currency has dominated the global landscape for decades providing stability as the international bedrock of financial transactions and arrangements. we are the world reserve kurncy we are the standard. but that great financial heritage is slipping away. our children may soon call the world reserve currency by another name. perhaps they will

they blame putin and only 3% of them aligned themselves with the views of medicine cawthorn and marjorie taylor greene and others, joe kent a congressional candidate for the republicans in washington state. the villain here is zelenskyy and the ukrainians. they are not buying them. republicans are in favor of providing upstanding with the ukrainians providing them weapons. there even in favor of establishing a no-fly zone. republicans, democrats and independents alike. what is interesting to me as putin has succeeded in a very rare thing is unifying all the factions in america. republicans, democrats and independents and a strong response is turning out the neo- isolationist wing of the republican party, madison called zelenskyy a thug and referred to ukrainian government as extraordinarily evil. that is blowing up in his face in a north carolina primary. >> that will be an interesting thing to watch. you are in the white house in 2002 which was one of the rare times when a party occupying the white house and gained seats in congress. people have not expected that for this midterm democr
