november. he saluted january 6th insurrectionist and said some undocumented immigrants are not people. the biden campaigns communications director, michael taylor, is standing by with his reaction to all of it. plus, fani willis gets to stay on the case in georgia but the drama heats up and trump appointed judge aileen cannon continues to slow things down in georgia. plus, it is election day in russia, which means it is the perfect time to talk about brand-new reporting on the former presidents affinity for dictators. jim shooter thanks man what he discovered on trumps private comments about some of the worst actors in the world. we were planning to start the show on all of the delays on the legal cases and there are a lot. we will spend time on that with

legal experts in a little bit but then late yesterday afternoon, donald trump spoke at a rally in ohio and we decided we have to start here. >> we are going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars. if i get elected. now if i don't get elected is going to be a bloodbath for the country. that will be the least of it but they're not going to sell those cars. >> it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. that will be the least of it.

the trump team quickly said last night nothing to see here. he was just talking about the auto industry. consider the full context, everyone. otherwise it is irresponsible. if they want us to consider the full context, let's do just that because the full context is that trump kicks off the same exact rally by saluting the people convicted for the deadly assault on january 6 all to the tune of a national anthem sung by a choir of imprisoned insurrectionist. the full context is that trump was thinking those writers and calling them great patriots. the full context is that he also said in the same rally quote, if this election is not won, i'm not sure they will have another election in this country. the full context is that he went on to say some undocumented immigrants are not people in the full context is that this is much bigger than one single speech. this embrace of political violence, this dehumanizing language, this is what donald trump has been preaching for years. last year he echoed the dehumanizing language of adolf hitler, comparing his political

opponents to vermin insane immigrants are quote, poisoning the blood of our country. last month he said there would be potential death and destruction if he was charged in a manhattan criminal probe and during his first term he refused to condemn political violence of a white nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia, saying there were very fine people on both sides. in 2020 he reportedly asked his defense secretary about people protesting the death of george floyd saying, can't you just shoot them? just shoot them in the legs or something, and of course, his very words inspired violence on january 6, 2021, when he told a crowd of his supporters to walk down to the capital and fight like because quote, we will never take back our country with weakness. trust me, i could go on and on and on. we all know by now that trumps allusions to political violence are not really rhetorical. his

supporters take them literally and that is part of the big problem here and he knows that, too, so no, we did not miss the full context. this is not some meandering off message comment. this is his message. as the biden campaign put it, this is who donald trump is, a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience, doubles down on his threats with political violence. joining me now from the biden campaign's communications director michael tyler. thank you so much. i know we called you this morning and asked you to talk about this. i appreciate you taking the time. your statement from the campaign makes very clear -- it was not in your name, but makes very clear what the campaign was thinking but when you heard the full context and saw those comments at that rally, what did you hear?

>> well, thank you for having me. what i heard was a continuation of the same rhetoric, the same endorsement of political violence we've seen from donald trump for years, as he pointed out. it goes even farther back. this is the same guy, who after marched on charlottesville and killed a woman, said they were very fine people on both sides. it is the same guy who in 2020 told a white supremacist group to stand back and stand by it now, every single day on the stump he is championing and praising insurrectionist who he encouraged to violently storm the capital in an attempt to overthrow democracy. it is not exactly one comment. it is exactly who donald trump is and it is exactly the threat he poses to democracy everything all day. the problem for trump, though, is that that people saw what happened on january 6 and they responded consistently since. they responded in 2022 when democrats have the most successful midterm cycle for democratic incumbents since fdr. they continued to respond last year and they are continuing to

respond right now. that is why we are on our front foot, heading into the selection, because the american people understand what joe biden has done to fight on the half of american people, but they see every single day now, the threat donald trump poses if he is able to regain power. he is talking every day about tearing down the fabric of our democracy and enacting political revenge if he is able to serve as a dictator on day one, as he is promising to do. >> the american people are smart. they have been watching him use this writer consistently for months and years. the trumps team's claim, which clearly i don't buy into, is that this is all in the context of a riff on the auto industry which doesn't even make sense, but i want to ask you what your thoughts are on that, and that claim. >> i think the claim is nonsense, again, because this is a guy who every single day is talking about enacting political revenge, who every single day is praising political

rivals we saw in 2020 so the idea that they're going to be able to spin their way out of this today is ridiculous because every single day, donald trump is promoting and endorsing and encouraging political violence on the stump. it is dangerous, but it is unpopular and the american people continue to reject it so we are confident if we continue to contrast the violence, the danger, the chaos, the division donald trump is preaching every single day on the stump against joe biden and kamala harris, whose positive vision is for bringing americans together in pursuit of progress, we are going to be successful. it is dangerous but we have confidence in the decency of the american people to reject the extremism we see from donald trump. >> i will also note the same people saying this is out of context have not condemned the other dozens of times he's made comments that prompt political violence. let me ask you, the president has been very vocal, forceful. >> is been doing it for years. >> the president has been

forceful out there, so forceful that the right-wing's theory now is that he owned his -- is on drugs, which is crazy but is been very forceful in calling out trumps language. should we expect to see him address this specifically out on the trail? >> yes. i think you actually heard the president say it going back to the state of the union before trumps latest comments. he said that political violence should never be acceptable in the united states of america so he's going to continue to do that. we've been carrying the same message forward since the state of the union with an aggressive schedule. the president is headed out west to nevada and arizona this coming week where he is going to continue to contrast these two fundamentally different visions for where we want to take this country. the president himself is talking about continuing to build on his historic record of accomplishment, jobs, lowering

costs and delivering for the american people and contrasting that against the chaos and violence endorsed by donald trump if he manages to gain power so that's going to be the contrast the president continues to talk about and will continue to provide to the american people from now until november. >> sounds like we may hear more from him on this, no question. former vice president mike pence, former president trump's vice president, announced he would not be endorsing donald trump. just today he said trump calling january 6th insurrectionist hostages is unacceptable. >> i think it is important to point out that mike pence's comments are simply the latest in a litany of the people who knew donald trump closest when he was in power in the oval office, so whether it was mike

pence or bill barr or john kelly, these are the people who worked with him every single day and know that he does not have the temperament, no he does not have the judgment, know that he does not have the values to ever step foot in the over -- oval office ever again i think it also speaks to the continued problem former president trump has given his inability to expand his appeal beyond the hard-core maga base. look at nikki haley in certain states for trump continues to struggle in key suburban counties that are going to be crucial toward the pathway to 270 electoral votes a message as a campaign is that if you share the same concerns as these people do, who understand the threat he poses to progress, that there is a home for all of you and joe biden's campaign, we are encouraging folks to go to joe biden.com and sign up.

it's going to take all of us to defeat donald trump once again in november. >> i know you and everybody is working so hard. thank you so much for calling all of us out this morning. really appreciate your time. coming up next, from new york to florida to georgia, the delays in donald trump's criminal cases are piling up. two of the best legal minds are standing by to talk through the moving timelines. my guess is that melissa murray and andrew weissmann will have a lot to say about the latest developments. we are back after a quick break. only pay for what you need. jingle: ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ baby: ♪ liberty. ♪ lowering bad cholesterol can be hard, even with a statin. diets and exercise add to the struggle. today, it's possible to go from struggle to cholesterol success with leqvio. with a statin, leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by 50%

in florida where trump is facing federal charges of illegally retaining top-secret documents, judge aileen cannon did reject a motion to dismiss trumps trail this week but she did refuse to set a trial date. trumps january 6 trial has been delayed to the middle of april and finally, in georgia, a dramatic legal sideshow is finally coming to a close after

eating up two months. the judge ruled on friday that d.a. fani willis should not be disqualified because there was no actual conflict of interest brought about by her relationship with another prosecutor on the case, nathan wade. he said willis could stay on the case as long as wade resigned which is exactly what he did, but the judge did not exactly mince words, either, describing their relationship as having a quote, significant appearance of impropriety but this doesn't make any of it fair at all. we are operating in a world where this former president uses the courtroom and any wrinkle to his advantage in the public forum. he is simply playing by a different set of rules. he is constantly pushing the legals of our legal system. to win in this world, you have to be pretty perfect and what we saw in florida, manhattan, and georgia this week is that the system and all of its participants from judge aileen cannon in florida to the prosecutors in florida to the -- georgia to the d.a. document dump have not been

perfect that is. joining us now is melissa murray and andrew weissmann. they are the co-authors of the brandon number one new york times best seller, the trump indictments. i have it here with me, the historic charging documents with commentary. what a great, great book. there is so much i want to talk to you about, and trump said some crazy things. we don't have as much time with you as we normally would like to. andrew, you said nathan wade first resigned which means that fani willis can stay on the case. you said that she should recuse herself. tell me more about why you think that. >> sure. i think one thing that is important to note is what the judge said about this conflict, which is that the defendants, in this case, were not prejudiced and are not prejudiced at all, meaning he really separated of the

conflict issue from anything the defendants can really complain about and it's important to remember that because these are really two different stories, but unfortunately, one affects the timing of the other. my biggest concern is not that fani willis needs to or is required to recuse herself. i was trying to figure out, where is this going to go from here. the judge basically invited the parties, the defense, to file all sorts of ethics grievances, so i just don't think we've heard the end of this, and that there will be other forms where this is going to be raised. i think it's also going to be raised or they will try to raise it on appeal, so i was really trying to put myself in her shoes and think about what to do so you don't become a lightning rod, so you do what is in the best interest of the case. again, it is not required and does not have any prejudice to

the defendants but i was trying to think of what was best for the case, and so that is the way i thought one way was to do this was to have her simply saying someone else will oversee this. >> you know, over this is not fair, as i said, in the outset here, but this is such an important case because trump can't delay it if he were to be elected. melissa, let me ask you the same question. if you are fani willis, what should you be doing here? >> i think this may be one of the few places where andrew and i have a slight disagreement. i think it was always going to be the case that fani willis would be targeted here. the effort to disqualify her was precipitated by a broader effort by gop people in georgia to limit her discretion as prosecutor so she's been a target for a long time and she will continue to be a target. whether or not she stays on this case, they're coming after her and as a black woman in that

elected position where she is supposed to represent the people of fulton county she has to see this case through and she has the expertise to do so so again, i think there is chum in the water certainly and she's going to be a target going forward but because there is no actual conflict of interest here i think she should stay on. >> disagreement is healthy, by the way. let's talk about your book. let me start with you, and are, because we are clearly seen of course, in all of these cases, judge aileen cannon and the supreme court are slow walking things. there is no trial date in georgia. the manhattan cases delayed. in your book, the trump indictments, you write about other countries who are able to bring the former leaders to justice like in france, italy, and argentina. when we think of our judicial system is the best. why are we seemingly unable to do this? >> we have a former president

who is facing 88 felony counts, and so he is now attacking the judicial system the way he has attacked the media, he has attacked prosecutors, he has attacked people in congress, so this is the the next check and balance he is attacking. as you pointed out in your first segment, he is now saying i am all for criminals, and we should release them and that's what i'm going to do, so he is running very much as an outlaw, so you have this very strange position where you have a republican running to back not the blue, but the orange, and i think our country so far is not doing very well compared to the way other countries have held political leaders to account, and we think of ourselves as american exceptionalism, that we do things the best, this is where we really should look globally to how other countries have dealt with the issue of corruption of political leaders , because we are seeing in erosion now in the finer --

final check, which is the judiciary for some judicial officers are doing their job but if you look at judge gannon, if you look at the slow working of the supreme court, as melissa knows very well and follows closely, that is an area where we are seeing this erosion that puts us really not in a great light compared to other countries that have handled this much better. >> which is such an interesting point. melissa, what is one thing that would surprise people about this book? >> one of the things that is really great about the book is that we do put this in an international context, as andrew just said. one of the things that makes us different from these other democracies who have managed to prosecute and hold former leaders to account is that they

had a judiciary that really played it by the book. right now, we have a supreme court that has effectively given donald trump de facto immunity by delaying its consideration of the immunity issue until april 25th. that was not the situation in other advanced democracies were the judiciary really was a bulwark against authoritarian impulses of these former leaders and really helped call them to account. we are not seeing that here. >> thank you both for your time, melissa murray, andrew weissmann, really appreciate it. coming up, brenda reporting about donald trump's affinity for dictators. all that reporting comes from a new book by cnn chief national security analyst jim schitto and we will go through all of it next. customized. the fuic 4 e-tron.

guaranteed to win a fifth term in the election in russia. that is the thing about autocratic regimes. the outcome is predetermined. they don't face credible opposition candidates because they are all dead or in prison. he did not face term limits thanks to a dubious referendum in 2020 and is facing serious voter intimidation forcing voters to literally vote at gunpoint. additionally, if this is anything like put his last election six years ago, it is likely rife with fraud. the fraud was so brazen back in 2018 the cameras at polling locations captured several instances of people literally stuffing ballot boxes but then president donald trump applauded his victory and in doing so, trump ignored warnings from his own advisers who explicitly told him, do not congratulate putin.

of course it is pretty telling in hindsight, given that trump later tried to steal the election in this country. it is also reflective of trump's strange affinity for dictators like putin, who is not only a destabilizing force in the world but is literally trying to redraw the map of europe right now. that is covered in a new book, the return of great powers, by jim schiutto of cnn. according to trump's former chief of staff , trump second turn would fundamentally be a catastrophe for us. i'm joined now by someone who has covered the dynamics for years between global powers, cnn anchor and national security analyst, jim schiutto, the author of the new book, the return of great powers . jim, you have been covering these dynamics, these leaders for literally decades and you know, you talk in your book -- obviously we have seen him do it publicly, how trump echoed adolf hitler. he's done it many times.

it seems clear that he admires people like hitler and authoritarian leaders, partly because he sees them as strong, what you talk about, but as you will know from covering dictators, actually, they are not strong. they are weak because they want to hold onto power by suppressing opposition within the media, the judiciary. they want to suppress free and fair elections. how much do you see parallels in terms of the tactics trump wants to use if he is re- elected and what some of these authoritarian dictators you write about in your book have done or tried to do? >> you are so right. from trump and from the generals he admires and his former chief of staff john kelly says as much. he says trump imagines himself as a strong leader paralyzed only by the strength shown by the putin's and the cams in the xi jinping's of the world and

this is based on nothing because he said in fact in his time under trump, he saw no evidence of the strength or confidence but the trouble is, he does admire the extent of the power, when he does not want to be checked by congress. he does not want to be checked by the courts. he imagines he deserves in effect, unfettered power, to the point, and i'm just amazed that we are talking about this but it is fact. it is coming from someone who was in the room with him when he uttered these words, that he repeatedly praised adolf hitler and said that he did some good things, to which john kelly says what the things? he said well, he rebuilt the economy. >> to then wage war against europe. he's as well, his generals were loyal to him, unlike generals like you, general kelly and general kelly had to say to him one, his

generals tried to assassinate him, but the thing is, this was a man according to his own advisers who does not base his views on fact. he bases them on how he feels. >> or history, apparently. the piece of this you also write about is the suppression of opposition. it is clearly part of the tactics of authoritarian leaders and dictators and you know, earlier today, trump was asked if putin was responsible for the death of an opposition leader who was jailed and recently died in russia. i want to play that for you and get your thoughts on it. >> do you believe vladimir putin has some responsibility for the death of alexey navalny ? >> i don't know. perhaps, possibly. i could say probably. i don't know. >> i mean, it is not a partisan thing in any way to of watch this and watch alexey navalny 's activism in the actions of putin to think he clearly had a role but what were your thoughts when you watch that, and his response?

>> the most consistent foreign- policy position, one can say, with donald trump, is his refusal really to criticize vladimir putin and that goes back to his helsinki moment refusing to take u.s. intelligence community's assessment that russia interfered in the u.s. election. it has been a month since alexey navalny has died and he has not uttered a critical word of vladimir putin and the fact is, he knows better because alexey navalny , the first time putin tried to get rid of him, was during trump's presidency in 2020 when russian security services , it is the view of many intelligence services, attempted to kill alexey navalny with the most powerful nerve agents in the world. he amazingly survived. that was the first attempt and trumpeter fred the intelligence reports himself and yet, he gives that wishy-washy answer there, which is consistent. he will not criticize the man or really the country and its tactics, and it is quite an alarming thing can do --

considering he wants to be commander-in-chief again. >> one of the things you talk about in this book is the interconnectivity between these global powers, and you spent some time in china. i wanted to ask you about what president xi thinks about when he sees the fact that ukraine funding has not been able to move forward, the fact that putin is a little bit unchecked you right now. what is he thinking? >> in researching this book i went from eastern ukraine, to europe, the baltics and taiwan and of course i spent time living and working in china, everyone involved tells me xi watches ukraine to see one, what lessons he can learn on the battlefield with regard to a potential invasion of taiwan, but also crucially, how the world reacts and how the u.s. reacts and when he sees weakness in his calculus, he can then say maybe the cost of a taiwan invasion would be lower than i imagined and it makes it more thinkable, so the events in ukraine are absolutely connected to potential events in taiwan and asia, and

everyone i talked to makes that connection, saying that xi jinping is making that connection, as well. >> jim schiutto, congratulations on your book. that is such an important read for people right now trying to understand the impact of the global dynamics. thank you for taking the time in joining me. coming up next, the trump takeover over -- of the rnc is complete. complete. y antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar,

chairwoman rhonda mcdaniels to step down then hand-picked leadership to head up the national party including michael watley, a full-blown election denier and chair of the north carolina republican party and his daughter-in-law, laura trump, as co-chair. >> if there is anyone paying attention to the details of 2024, it is donald trump, who is now co-running the rnc. laura trump, why? because he understands that the devil is in the details so he puts his brilliant daughter-in- law in charge of the rnc apparatus. you want the ball in the hands of the best player on the field. that player is donald trump. i can guarantee you we will win because we are coming together. >> i've been doing this a while. those are the words of a man who really wants to get on that ticket.

but, the overall point senator scott makes is right, because the rnc party has fallen now into the hands of donald trump and the question is what that is going to entail. this week got a little bit of a hint and some notable new hires, specifically, new lawyers focused on election related concerns and what they are calling election integrity, which i am putting in quotes because in practice that actually means finding ways to limit voter access to the ballot box. one of those layers is bill mcginley. the rnc hired him to jam their -- for their jam integrity effort. in a leaked tape where steve bannon laid out the plan to for trump to declare himself winner on election night, he described bill mcginley as trump's right- hand man. they also hired trump's personal attorney, christina

bob, senior counsel for election integrity and she has also been a dedicated advocate for trump's election lies. >> joe biden in the mainstream media continue their narrative that biden won. >> we will get donald trump back in office and at that point i think we need an investigation into who actually overthrew the united states government to install a fake president. >> there is no evidence of fraud. it was the most secure election in u.s. history. >> so, that is what the rnc under trump's brain for senior leadership to do things on election integrity. already, they have filed a new lawsuit against the state of michigan in an effort to purge voter rolls. new hires, new lawsuits, or focus on what they're calling election integrity. it's becoming obvious that the

trump-run rnc is about suppressing the vote in planning ahead for how to keep donald trump in power. what the changes show in part is that trump and his allies are looking to use the organization as part of an effort to lay a much more sophisticated and organized legal assault ahead of 2024. up next, michigan senator debbie stabenow is standing by for her exit interview after a quick break. exit interview afta quick break. -it's nothing, really... -it's contagious. you can even spread it to other people. -mom, come here! -don't worry about it. it'll go away on its own! -no, it won't go away on its own. it's an infection. you need a prescription. nail fungus is a contagious infection. at the first signs, show it to your doctor... ... and ask if jublia is right for you. jublia is a prescription medicine used to treat toenail fungus. its most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness... ... itching, swelling, burning or stinging, blisters and pain. jublia is recognized by the apma. most commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0 copay. go to jubliarx.com now to get started.

patrick's day. >> of course. i do want to talk about your amazing career but also former president trump's said last night at a rally in ohio during a bizarre riff about the auto industry -- you are from an out- of-state -- he said now, if i don't get elected, is going to be the least of it. it's going to be a bloodbath for the country. he claims it is about the auto industry but i want to know what you thought when you heard those remarks. >> a couple of things. first of all, i would say about the auto industry, this is somebody who said it was going to go bankrupt. this is somebody, and i was in the middle of that helping to make sure we had the auto rescue, this is somebody who said to the companies, why don't you go to the south with nine new unit employees and then the people of michigan will be begging to get their jobs back and they will take less pay. this is a guy who a few months ago, went in, paid people to be fake autoworkers in a nonunion company, to be able to say he had unions with workers. this is absurd and this is why

the uaw strongly supports president biden, but the broader context is that if we don't understand that this guy likes the violence by now, i don't know what to say. he relishes it. he watched january 6 and watch what was happening because i think in his mind, if he can get people to commit violence, it translates to him as power, and that's a pretty frightening thing. >> very frightening. i appreciate all the context there. you were first elected in 1974 to the county commission. you were just 24 years old. you were elected to congress and 96, you made history in 2000. what has changed in washington for the good and for the worse. >> well, the good thing is we have a lot more women, but i think in terms of priorities, it's better.

you know, i did not realize when i was going through it, but my career in politics reflects the movement of women. local government in the 70s, 2024, my opponent referred to me is that young broad running against him. he tried to close a nursing home. the young bride beat him. but that was local government. '80s was state government. women were coming into state legislatures and that is what i did. in the 90s, it was when women were first really running for the senate in large numbers. but 2000 was the first year after we won, this was hillary clinton, myself, a number of colleagues, where we had enough women to have one woman sitting on every committee in the united states. many of us chair committees. we are in leadership. so even with chaos in the craziness, where you see

leadership happening, it is often the women that are doing it. >> you have seen the whole journey. you have been very much ahead of the curve advocate for mental health. which is something i feel people of come around to. talk a little bit about that and what you would like to see happen next on that. >> well, we are on the way, and i think this is a moment to really explain what we have done. traditionally, mental health services in the community find a few grants that stop and start so the grant goes away for a dish -- addiction services, and mental health. the services go away and you try again. what we did in the gun belt a year and a half ago was to embrace the concept that senator roy blunt and i have done, worked on for 10 years on a bipartisan basis, to make community behavioral health services healthcare, so we are

now leaning in. there are 10 states, 10 were being announced in june that will get full medicaid funding just like health centers, and be fully reimbursed to help keep people out of jail, keep them out of hospitals, and to provide services, so this has been a long time in coming. healthcare above the neck should be funded the same as healthcare below the neck and we are now on that journey. >> what an amazing part of your legacy. i know you said, as you are ready to prepare a new chapter, that includes spending time with your amazing 96-year-old mother, which is remarkable, what are you most looking forward to? >> well, i have to tell you, my mom is retired as a nurse, back when women were just getting started, she got a three year degree. that was the most she could do at the time to become a nurse, director of nursing at a small hospital in clear, where i grew up. she is now 97. she is still the one telling me who won the msu basketball

game, cheering people on, rooting for her tigers and the detroit lions, and she is amazing. it is ablaze -- blessing for me. i want to have the opportunity to really be with her at this important time as well as with my family, and i have five, actually the smartest, most beautiful grandkids in the world. >> well, it sounds like you are from a long line of fierce women. >> i am. >> thank you for all of your time in office. you have more to go. for all the work you've done on mental health. say hello to your mother. coming up next, a few thoughts for me and a highlight reel as we mark the one-year anniversary of the show. we are back after a quick break. are back after a quick break.

>> leader jeffries, thank you for being my first guest on my first show. >> we have heard a lot of talk about certain elections in the most consequential. this one actually feels like it is. joe biden should not be on their heels. they should play offense on every single issue i mentioned. >> conversations are happening on every pot warm you can imagine. >> do you think she would be receiving the same critiques if she was a white man? >> despite what trump says and wants his followers to believe, it is important to remember that he is not the victim. >> we have to talk about the crazy things he is doing. >> he should never have been in the white house and should never be there again. the president who is willing to do these things certainly will do those things again. >> he engages in production so whenever he accuses somebody else of doing something, it is almost guaranteed heat has already done it.

>> while trump may believe he lives by a different set of rules, this indictment is a heartening sign that justice still matters in this country. >> if you can't win in november, we should not be having a discussion. >> you think he's a loser? >> he is choosing to side with an extremist. >> it is shameful and it should shock our souls. >> their agenda is dysfunction. >> to use your phrase at the beginning of this show, i am officially now at the freak out stage. >> this trauma has to end. >> we are witnessing it all. >> if you cannot explain it and people don't understand it in 15 seconds, it may not be the winning message you think it is. are you all okay? shake it off. >> moms for liberty or puppies for ice cream, it is worth

looking into the agenda of an organization before joining it. >> we can say that jessica mackler is the new president of emily's list. >> what do you hope will be your legacy? >> you came here when you were seven years old with your mom and brother. you are an undocumented immigrant. >> i grew up hiking the spark. >> if they wanted to be pro babies, it may be they should help food stamps for women and children. >> we are all going to be okay. on this new hour, new desperation from house republicans determined to impeach president joe biden, the white house already on the offense. thus you are either in or
