THAT WAS A JOKE.
>> ALL IN STARTS RIGHT NOW.
GOOD EVENING FROM NEW YORK, I'M
CHRIS HAYES, A DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENT IS NOW POISED TO PUT
A JUSTICE ON THE U.S. SUPREME
COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MORE THAN A DECADE.
AS SOON AS THIS WEEK, JUDGE
KETANJI BROWN-JACKSON WILL BE
CONFIRMED TO THE COURT WITH
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
AND THAT'S DESPITE THE BEST
EFFORTS OF SOME SENATE
REPUBLICANS WHO TRY TO
ESSENTIALLY ASSASSINATE JUDGE
JACKSON'S CHARACTER BY PAINTING
HER AS SYMPATHETIC TO CHILD
ABUSERS.
THE BEHAVIOR BY REPUBLICANS IN
THE U.S. SENATE, PARTICULARLY
THE HEARINGS, HAVE BEEN
DISTURBING.
SHOCKING LANGUAGE AND RHETORIC
USED TO POLITICALLY SMEAR BY
PEOPLE WHO KNOW BETTER.
>> I WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT
WE PROTECT CHILDREN, AND THAT
WE CONTINUE TO DO OUR BEST
EFFORT TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
I ALSO WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN
THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
JUDGES ON THE FEDERAL BENCH,
AND JUSTICES THAT ARE GOING TO
PROTECT THOSE RIGHTS OF
CHILDREN.
>> SIGNIFICANT CONCERN HAS BEEN
RAISED BY MYSELF AND OTHERS
ABOUT JUDGE JACKSON'S PATTERN
AND SENTENCING CRIMINAL
DEFENDANTS GUILTY OF
DISTRIBUTION ARE POSSESSION OF
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
EIGHT-YEAR-OLDS, NINE YEAR OLDS,
ON 12 YEAR OLDS.
HE'S GOT IMAGES OF THESE, THE
GOVERNMENT SAYS ADD UP TO A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF 600 IMAGES.
VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THESE CHILDREN.
AND THEY SAY THIS DOES NOT
SIGNAL A HEINOUS CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY OFFENSE.
>> JUST BE CLEAR OF THAT
PATTERN THAT HE WAS LIKE ABOUT
HIS NONSENSE.
AND OF COURSE, NOT EVERY
REPUBLICAN SENATOR WROTE THE
BEHAVIOR.
IN FACT, THREE OF THEM SAID
THEY WOULD CONFIRM JUDGE
JACKSON, AND FOR THAT CRIME,
THOSE SENATORS WERE ATTACKED BY
REPUBLICAN PARTIES STAR
CONGRESSMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE, WHO IS SAYING THEY WERE
BEING, QUOTE, PRO PEDOPHILE.
WHEN GREENE FIRST JOINED THE
HOUSE FOR HIS SYMPATHIES FOR
THE QANON CONSPIRACY THEORY,
WHICH SAYS THAT THE MEDIA IS
PART OF THE HIGH TRAFFICKING
RING.
THAT WAS A BIG DEAL.
SHE HAD TO GO BACK AND DELETE A
BUNCH OF POSTS, I KNOW
SOMETHING OF A POLITICAL
PROBLEM FOR REPUBLICAN LEADER
KEVIN MCCARTHY.
BUT ALAS, SIMON WITH DON, THE
PARTY IS ONLY MOVE TOWARDS A
GREEN, AN EMBRACE GOING ON.
THAT'S WHY THEY TRIED TO MAKE
JUDGE JACKSON'S HEARING A
REFERENDUM ON WHETHER OR NOT
YOU ARE IN MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE'S WORDS, PRO PEDOPHILE.
REPUBLICANS ARE CULTIVATING
THIS, THEY'VE BEEN FOR A LONG
TIME.
YOU CAN TRACE IT BACK TO THE
2016 ELECTION WHEN THE
SO-CALLED PIZZAGATE CONSPIRACY
THEORY CAME INTO BEING, WHICH
EMERGED OUT OF THE HACKED
EMAILS OR THAT WERE PUBLISHED.
AND THAT BIZARRE AND
INSCRUTABLE THEORY ALLEGE THAT
HILLARY CLINTON HAD PROMISED
DEMOCRATS AND RAN A CHILD SEX
AND SACRIFICE WEARING OUT OF A
BASEMENT OF A POPULAR D.C.
-BASED RESTAURANT CALLED COMET
PING-PONG PIZZA.
WHICH, BY THE WAY, DOESN'T HAVE
A BASEMENT.
BUT THE CONSPIRACY PERCOLATED
IN FAR-RIGHT MEDIA.
AND THEN THIS HAPPENED.
>> UNDER ARREST IN WASHINGTON,
28 YEAR OLD AT YOUR WELSH
ACCUSED OF FIRING AN ASSAULT
WEAPON INSIDE THE COMMENT
PING-PONG PIZZA RESTAURANT.
HE ALLEGEDLY TOLD POLICE THAT
HE CAME TO INVESTIGATE
PIZZAGATE, AN INTERNET RUMOR
ALLEGING A KILLING TEN CAMPAIGN
SEX RING.
>> HE SHOWS UP WITH AN ASSAULT
RIFLE, WHICH HE FIRED BECAUSE
HE HAD BEEN TOLD AND BELIEVE
THAT THE DEMOCRATS WERE RUNNING
A SATANIC CHILD SEX RING IN THE
BUILDINGS NONEXISTENT BASEMENT.
THAT MAN, BY THE WAY, WAS
SENTENCED TO FOUR YEARS IN JAIL
BY NONE OTHER THAN DISTRICT
JUDGE KETANJI BROWN-JACKSON.
BUT, HERE'S THE THING,
REPUBLICANS WERE, AND STILL ARE,
ACTIVELY CULTIVATING THE
DANGEROUS FRINGE BELIEFS THAT
INDIVIDUAL HELD.
ACCORDING TO ONE RECENT POLL,
16% OF AMERICANS, THAT 16%, NOT
A MAJORITY, BUT A SIZABLE
AMOUNT, BELIEF, AND I QUOTE,
THE GOVERNMENT, MEDIA, AND
FINANCIAL WORLDS IN THE U.S.
ARE CONTROLLED BY A GROUP OF
SANE OR SHOVING PEDOPHILES.
THINK ABOUT YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM,
AND THEN ANSWER YES THAT
QUESTION.
25% OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
IDENTIFIED AS QANON BELIEVERS.
NOW, THESE POLITICIANS AND
THEIR ALLIES CANNOT JUST COME
OUT AND SAY, IT'S A CABAL OF
THEM RUNNING --
THEY REALIZE THEY SOUND NUTS.
SO, INSTEAD, THEY FIND THESE
NOT SO CLEVER WAYS TO PLAY
FOOTSIE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DO
BELIEVE THAT.
THEY MAKE UP AT LEAST A BASE OF
THE PARTY, LIKE ACCUSING JEFF
JACKSON OF BEING SYMPATHETIC TO
CHILD ABUSERS.
OR ADOPTING THE SLOGAN, SAVE
THE CHILDREN, WHICH OF COURSE
SOUNDS PERFECTLY NOBLE,
INNOCENT ENOUGH ON HIS FACE.
BUT AS ASSOCIATE PRESS REPORTS,
IT'S ACTUALLY BECOME A DOG
WHISTLE TO QANON SUPPORTERS.
OR, MORE RECENTLY, THROUGH
VAGUE ALLEGATIONS OF GROOMING.
AND ANGELS MARITIME PLY THAT
MEMBERS OF LGBTQ COMMITTEES ARE
TRYING TO PRIME CHILDREN FOR
SEXUAL ABUSE.
THAT APPEARS TO BE THE CASE IN
FLORIDA, AND THE BASES BEHIND
THE STATE'S SO-CALLED, DON'T
SAY GAY BILL, WHICH PREVENTS
THE DISCUSSION IN CLASS OF
SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER
IDENTITY IN CLASSROOMS FOR
YOUNG CHILDREN.
NOW, REPUBLICANS WILL TRY TO
LINE SAY THAT THE BILL IS ABOUT
PRINCE LIES ARE NONSENSE.
BUT REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR RON
DESANTIS SPOKESPERSON GAVE OUT
THE WHOLE GAME.
SHE WASN'T QUITE WITH IT ENOUGH
TO KEEP IT QUIET.
SHE SAID, THE BILL THE LIBERALS
INACCURATELY CALL, DON'T SAY
GAY, WOULD BE MORE ACCURATELY
DESCRIBED AS IN ANTI-GROOMING
BILL.
IF YOU AGAINST THE
ANTI-GROOMING BILL, YOU ARE
PROBABLY A GROOMER OR AT LEAST
YOU DON'T DENOUNCE THE GROOMING
OF 4 TO 8 YEAR OLD CHILDREN,
SILENCE IS COMPLICIT.
I WANT EVERYONE TO FOCUS ON
WHAT SHE IS ACCUSING PEOPLE OF,
HERE.
SHE SAID IT LOUD.
IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THE
BILL, YOU ARE ACTIVITY
CULTIVATING YOUNG CHILDREN TO
SEXUALLY ABUSE THEM.
EVERYTHING YOU DON'T LIKE AS A
WORK OF THIS NEFARIOUS
PEDOPHILES WHO ARE TRYING TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE SYSTEMATIC
SEXUAL MOLESTATION OF CHILDREN.
IF YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT, YOU'RE
EITHER PEDOPHILE, OR A
PEDOPHILE SYMPATHIZER.
IF YOU'RE GAY TEACHER WHO
MENTIONS, I DON'T KNOW, GOING
AWAY WITH YOUR HUSBAND THIS
WEEKEND, YOU'RE DOING THE SAME.
AND THIS RHETORIC, IT'S NOT
FRINGE, IT'S BECOME OMNIPRESENT
AND RIGHT-WING MEDIA.
JUST THIS PAST WEEK, BUCKS
MEDIA HAD A MELTDOWN ACCUSING
DISNEY, THE DISNEY CORPORATION,
OF ALL COMPANIES, OF GROOMING
CHILDREN.
>> IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK
TO A FIVE-YEAR-OLD, OR A SEVEN
YEAR OLD, OR AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD
ABOUT US YOUR SEXUALITY AND
GENDER, THAT'S WHEN YOU.
YOUR PURVEYOR.
>> THE FACT THAT THEY WANT TO
SEXUALIZE OUR CHILDREN, AND OUR
CHILDREN'S CHILDHOOD FOR THEIR
OWN POLITICAL AGENDA IS
INCREDIBLY DISTURBING.
>> WHY NOT JUST RENAME THE
ROLLERCOASTER, SEX MOUNTAIN?
COME ON KEYNES, IT WILL BE A
BLAST.
>> THERE'S A LOT TO SAY ABOUT
THIS, BUT BY THE WAY, YOU
SHOULD LOOK AT THE DISNEY
CANNON.
FIRE OF THE LITTLE MERMAID.
THE TEENAGER WHO SELLS HER
VOICE BECAUSE I GOT WAS Q.
SO, TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS QANON
ALL THE WAY DOWN.
REPUBLICANS ARE REPURPOSING OLD
SMEARS TO TAKE DEMOCRATS AS
PART OF A SHADOWY CABAL OF SEX
OFFENDERS.
AND ALSO DISGUSTING AND GROSS
ABOUT THIS IS THAT, OF COURSE,
CHILD SEX ABUSE IS AN EXTREMELY
REAL PROBLEM.
SHOCKINGLY UBIQUITOUS, IN FACT.
EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT SOCIETY,
AND ALL KINDS OF US
INSTITUTIONS, ACROSS THE
POLITICAL AND CULTURAL SPECTRUM,
ALL OVER THE PLACE, NO ONE HAS
A MONOPOLY ON.
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, LET ME
THINK OF AN EXAMPLE.
THE LONGEST SERVING REPUBLICAN
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
>> THE FALLOUT KEEPS GROWING
TONIGHT ABOUT THE SURPRISE
INDICTMENT OF FORMER HOUSE
SPEAKER DENNIS, THE ALLEGATIONS
THAT HE WAS WILLING TO PAY
MILLIONS TO COVER UP SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT WITH A MALE STUDENT
HAS SHOCKED MANY, ESPECIALLY
NEW YORK ABOUT, ILLINOIS.
THAT'S WHERE HE USED TO COACH
AND TEACH.
>> A MALE STUDENT, WHEN HE WAS
A COACH.
IT'S ODDS, ISN'T IT?
THE REPUBLICANS NEVER BRING HIM
UP, WHO WAS ACCUSED OF CHILD
SEX ABUSE, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT
THE SITUATION.
OR MIKE FOR WHO RETIRED AND
DISGRACE AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT
SENDING SEXUALLY EXPLICIT
MESSAGES TO YOUNG BOYS.
OR A JUDGE ROY MOORE WHO, MANY
REPUBLICANS, INCLUDING TRUMP,
DEFENDED AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED
OF PURSUING SEXUAL RELATIONS
WITH TEENAGE GIRLS IN HIS 30S,
INCLUDING A GIRL WHO PURSUED
NEARLY 14 YEARS OLD AND HE WAS
32 AFTER THEY MET AT THE
COURTHOUSE WHERE HER MOTHER WAS
APPEARING FOR A CHILD CUSTODY
HEARING.
THINK ABOUT THE.
NOW, HE DENIES THIS.
DRY LEAVE THE WORLD FOR THAT
KIND OF BEHAVIOR, AGAIN, IF IT
HAPPENED, AND IT IS GROOMING.
RIGHT-WING MEDIA CLOSED RANKS
AROUND MORE.
THE FEDERAL LIST EVEN TRY TO
DEFEND HIS CONDUCT, SAYING,
QUOTE, DOUBLE LARGE FAMILY, THE
WIFE MUST START HAVING KIDS
WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG.
THE MAN WHO STILL SUPPORT THE
FAMILY, AND EASTERN MAINE WHEN
HIS OLDER.
AGAIN, A 14-YEAR-OLD AT HER
CHILD CUSTODY HEARING, BEING
HIT ON BY A 30 YEAR OLD
PROSECUTOR OUTSIDE THE
COURTHOUSE.
DONALD TRUMP EVEN ENDORSE MORE
ZAHRAN AFTER THE ALLEGATION
SURFACED, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE
WAS DOING.
OR I DON'T KNOW, HERE'S ANOTHER
EXAMPLE.
HOW ABOUT THE TIME TUCKER
CARLSON DECIDED TO DEFEND
WARREN JEFF,'S THE CULT LEADER,
CURRENTLY IN PRISON FOR CHILD
RAPE.
CARLSON SAID, HE'S IN PRISON
FOR HIS, QUOTE, WEIRD UNPOPULAR
BELIEF, LIKE THE FOURTH
MARRIAGE OF UNDERAGE GIRLS.
HE WAS ACCUSED OF FELONY CHILD
SEXUAL ASSAULT.
TUCKER THOUGHT THAT WAS
UNJUSTIFIED.
ACTUALLY, RIGHT NOW, IS THAT
SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS AT
THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE,
MATT GATES, WHO IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION, FEDERAL
INVESTIGATION OF SEX
TRAFFICKING AND UNDERAGE GIRL.
THAT'S AGAIN, SOMETHING HE
DESIGN.
BUT AGAIN, IF YOU ARE A PARTY
THAT'S SUPER HEATED INTO THIS,
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE WORRIED
ABOUT THAT.
AND MAYBE A LITTLE CONVERSATION
WITH THEM, WHAT'S GOING ON
THERE?
AND TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS HAVE
A BILL ADVANCE TODAY THAT WOULD,
AND I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP, AND
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEN I
THOUGHT SO, BUT ACTUALLY READ
IT THROUGH, THEY ELIMINATE ANY
MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT FOR
MARRIAGE, RIGHT NOW, IN 2022.
ITS MINIMUM 17 YEARS, AND
THEY'RE GONNA GET RID OF THE.
NOW, IF DEMOCRATS SAY
ANYTHING'S, THE RIGHT-WING
WOULD LOSE THEIR COLLECTIVE
MINDS, AND WE'LL CALL THEM
CRIMINALS AND PEDOPHILES.
BUT AGAIN, THERE'S NOT AN
ACTUAL TREND INTEREST OF
PROTECTING CHILDREN.
IT MAKES IT SO DISGUSTING,
BECAUSE CHILDREN DO NEED
PROTECTION.
BUT THIS IS A SITUATION THAT
RENDERS THE POLITICAL
