12:26 pm
the big lie and the election deniers now elected to office. the new laws here in alabama, among other things, enacted a new congressional map that discriminate against black voters. by failing to include what should have been a new predominately black district.

12:35 pm
evelyn is behind president biden and all thatmb other stuff and,f course, they are continuing their negative coverage of president trump. trump did a lot for this country. the southern border being the prime example. we had a much less traffic coming through that southern border, and not only that he was tougher on china and even halt china out on the virus. and biden just won't do things like that. and we justt need a stronger person other than biden in our presidency to run this country. so yes, i am a strong supporter of president trump. he did do things and with one hand tied behind his back because he was under constant investigation. so yes, i think it wouldut be a superb read president to run a nation again, kimberly in new mexico speaking of the present schedule one of the things you'd expect to see later on this week thursday president biden will travel to philadelphia to unveil his budget and a campaign style event. look for more on the c-span
12:36 pm
networks, what are the topics come out of that on the house and senate site is the reveal of the republican budget which president biden has asked for in light of the recent release of his budget so look for that to plant and other things to play out during the week in congress. a supporter of president biden in 2024 alta more maryland this is robert. hello. >> caller: hey, how you doing this morning? i got a few things to say. there will not be a republican in that white house in the next 12 years. they is no a good. they are crazy people. thank you. >> host: before you go, robert, you said you support president biden another term. why is that? >> caller: why is that? because the democrats are trying to help the american people.
12:37 pm
the republicans is going crazy. i've been watching tv ever since 1960 when nixon and kennedy have that debate on live tv for the first time. and i mean to tell you, i don't know what's wrong with the republicanshy nowadays. >> host: justinde in cleveland, ohio, on our others line. hello. >> caller: good morning. i'm republican and which is nice normal people so not sure what that gentleman is referring to. but i'm o' your other line because we have a political class of people that all need to go away from joe biden, donald trump, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell. i'm glad that she blows he step down from leadership. this country needs a reset across the board. these people just keep rotating seats back and forth.
12:38 pm
we are 30 trillion in debt. none of them do anything right. we need a big other in 2024. >> host: who is at big other in your mind? >> caller: i don't know. i want to see real debates with real intellectual honesty, instead of name-calling nonsense and the fake stuff. you just showed joe biden during a speech about voting rights to nobody's voting rights are under attack. such nonsense. >> host: what are the qualities that make the good of the person in your mind if you don't have a specific in mind? >> caller: they got to be honest. they have got to out their plan and they got to execute it. that way nobody can terror it down. you can debate it if you want but we've got to stop having a bunch of people from washington, d.c. creating problems for this country. that town is her biggest problem. >> host: that is justin getting his thoughts. one of those out-of-towners who commented on the state of the
12:39 pm
presidential race from reports possibly could be looking at internet of his own was new hampshire governor republican chris sununu. a story in the "wall street journal" this morning says under the headline that he is banking on voters tired of trump saying mr. sununu is turned to raise money to assessable for a possible presidential campaign as i try to win over the republican party most ardent or ideologically driven voters were those folks on battles over racial diversity or gender identity. rather the government has offered offering is part of the prosperously buys a more centrist republicans and it bears who dislike the gop's turn under former president trump and what a calm her tone in politics. governor sununu on the sundayrn shows yesterday on nbc program "meet the press" was asked about potential race also is a thoughts on donald trump running again. here's some of his comments from yesterday. >> the rnc chair rodda mcdaniels says she wants to candidates signed a pledgeor their support
12:40 pm
the republican nominee no matter who it is o if you want to participate in an rnc sanctioned event. are you countable signing that pledge? if donald trump is involved? >> look, i'm a lifelong republican congress for the republican nominee. when you look at what's coming out of the white house, it isn't democrat policy. it's real left-wing extreme agenda type stuff that is not in the best interest of this country and that no doubt any solid republican would be better than what comes up it as far as former president trump i think he's going to run obvious cbp's in the race. he's not going to be the nominee. that's just not going to happen. i think there's a lot of opportunity to bring forward with the republican party, not what we were, , not yesterdays leadership yesterdays story or crying about what happened in november 2022 but what we're going to bring to the table and get done tomorrow. that's what americans looking for. i am confident whoever comes out republican nomination process is going to lead this country and will be able to
12:41 pm
deliver a winning 24. and i will back them. >> new hampshire republicans have a habit of going for the outsider whatever that moment is. in that moment he the outsider candidate is. it's been remarkable to me that trump looks like he's trying to be the outsider. he ran the party. he was the institution head of the party. he's running as an outsider. i know you want to be the outsider but in many ways he's already slumped everybody against him. do you think is effectively carving out an outsider lane for himself? >> i think the former president has his own blame. he doesn't need to carve anything. he is an absolute known commodity to every american in this country. there are very few people around the fence whether there with him or not within or whatever it might be. i think he has his own lane and there's ever else which is a vast majority of the party is looking for. an alternative. >> host: alameda california a supporter of president biden 2024. this is jeff.dy hello.
12:42 pm
jeff in california, hello? >> caller: hello there. are you calling me from alameda? >> host: you are on. go ahead, all right. i totally support our president biden that is, the guy who won. i support him internationally, how he has brought us back together into the world scene without partners on the planet. i support him in encouraging that we have some safety net for those who are not as privileged as i am. and i support him and the democrats in the senate for
12:43 pm
being knowledgeable, fact seeking, and trying to repair the damage that has been done in the past administration under trump. i'm also in stark contrast to the republican party and my reaction to the january 6th attack on our capital. >> host: we got it, jeff. this is james in south carolina, a supporter of former president trump. hello james. >> caller: yeah, i would like to qualify i would vote for trump if he becomes a candidate. at this point i can't say who i would vote for in the republican
12:44 pm
primary because we don't know who all is going to be in it. i think if the election for the country is going to w have repercussions probably for even decades.s. the things or among the things for biden or about biden, the pandering he is doing, he tries on division, about six calls ago the lady mention that she was a democrat and she talked about with biden when not talked about insulting people. we are talking about issues. well, the reason we're talking but issues is because many of them are concerned as human americans. we don't like the open border. we hear things like the relief
12:45 pm
bill only included 9%, -- [inaudible] 9% was marked for covid. >> host: if i may back to president trump for a second is your support wholehearted, halfhearted, where are you on that right now? >> caller: well, you have to go with the candidate you think you honestly think is best for the country, and i think that trump, he has a lot of baggage. he shoots from the hip. he's now a a politician so we doesn't speak like people like al gore. i think whennt you are a politician you learn how to speak and filibuster without saying a lot. i've noticed that even on c-span a lotth of times when you have
12:46 pm
guests on, that when people have the opportunity to call in, what the guests will do sometimes it's's just trying to kill timey filibustering. they won't really address the issue. but back to the choice between the two, not only do to havee border problems but we have this whole pandering, and i remember when joe biden told a black group, if you vote for me you are not black. i think he's t going to try to create an issue any media will accompany him in doing this. i think is going to try his best to make this election 24 a race war. >> host: let's hear from paul in kentucky, paducah, kentucky, on online for others. again we divided the light as far as your level of support and others line, capture anyone
12:47 pm
else. paul in kentucky, hello, hello. if trump was what i would definitely vote for m trump because biden is worst president this country is ever had. not only the worst president we've ever had come he's the most evil present we ever had. >> host: you specifically called in, you called in the new others line is that other. >> caller: desantis. i really hope the santa's is a nominee but i vote for anyone who runs against biden. biden is by far the evil, firemen, so why desantis specifically? >> caller: look what he's done with florida. why is people leaving blue states going to red states for? why? i wish you had that on tv, , asd a question on tv, have special about that.we people believe because the santa'sca created -- you got freedom. the schools are whole lot come look at d the schools in his ble
12:48 pm
states. they are horrible. everything in blue states is horrible. i live right next to illinois. i know how blue states are. they are terrible. biden he's a w very dangerous, there's a -- he wrote a book called the most dangerous president ever. he's from australia, , originaly from australia. have them on there. >> host: aubrey in new orleans support of president biden. you are next up, this is reverend doctor -- call for change in new orleans. i may biden supporter, one, becausest he believes in the institution. he certainly believe in the right of citizens, the free unions to vote. one of the things that is dangerous with this president, former president trump and republicans and the suppression of vote on the 58th anniversary of the edmund pettus crossing of the bridge. they fought for that. and when you look at their sole
12:49 pm
on the voting suppression throughout the united states, that's one of the things this president has done to damage to this country and this union, when he denied the freeness of the vote of the people of a choice. we have a choice in days we should have theen liberty to choosesi rather conservative or liberal, do you think present biden is done a good job on voting rights in his administration? >> caller: i think president biden has had the experience from the constitution. he will stand up for what's right. he will fight for the values of this country and these are peopleni that have serious qanon and all this and they are appeasing and massaging racist type base of whistle dog whistle talk is causing a lot of problems in this country.
12:50 pm
>> host: that's aubrey. about half an hour of your calls take a look at the issue of 2024. your choice as it currently stands when it comes to you would like to see in the white house after that election. if you are a current support for president biden and giving him a second term, 202-748-8000 is a number to call. if you like to see former president trump in the white house again, 202-748-8001. and that others line that you see there is for another candidate, specific candidate. some of you mention some of you talk about the ideals of what another candidate should look like. whoever it is, if it's not the current or former president and give another person in mind, 202-748-8002. you can also text as if you wish at 202-748-8003. last week it was in b. c. who highlighted that on the steps of the capitol building there was somewhat of a debate that broke out between florida republican

[laughing] >> host: nbc catching on the steps of the capitol that was republican and democrat on that debate. you can find more on the website. when it comes to your support for a candidate for 2024 let's let's hear fromct larry in main, nebraska, sorry. supporter of president trump. hello. >> caller: hello. good morning. yes, i am supporting trump. i have a question for all your
12:54 pm
democratic voters that call in and talk about january 6th. and i was wondering, they were upset when the last four years the media andit the fbi and the democratic party tried to take down a president for four years, a duly-elected president for four years and -- >> host: let's go back to that present real quick. why do specifically supporting for another term? >> caller: because i voted for him the firstat time because i want somebody to fight the corruption in washington, d.c. we had - a very corrupt justice department. we have a very corrupt media here how many stories have they got wrong just lately that was wrong about china lab. but one thing about the meeting
12:55 pm
-- >> host:: this is about president trump you listed a couple specifics. is there another reason why you would give him another term? >> caller: yes. i just think he was like an establishment a lot better than any other candidate. you've got to realize, what happened to trump should never happen to another american president ever again. no one should be ever treated like that and we've got to start stopping this preaching hate all the time. i racist is that somebody that -- i racist is somebody who wants to kill you. i racist is not somebody that you disagree with. >> host: okay. let's go to gym in winter park, florida, on our others line. good morning. >> caller: good morning. i voted for trump in 2016 and 20 and, unfortunately, i feel that you end up voting for somebody,
12:56 pm
i actually end up voting against somebody and those two times i i voted against people rather than for people. my opinion is that there are couple of people out there that i would really like to run for president and i come on both sides of the fence. and i look for common sense. i i look for people that have commonrs sense. joe manchin, that man does not get pushed by anybody one way or the other. he has common sense. he works to try and get things done and get things working better. tulsi gabbard, hawaii, another person who, , she just got run t because she was trying to be a person that workedhe everybody. on other side, adam kenzinger, when you listen to that man, he makes sense. he's a commonsense person. he tells you what he believes,
12:57 pm
whether you like it or not, whether you are republican or democrat.li he does what he says. and even liz cheney, same thing. she got blown out because of all the trump idiots that backed the trump push. in my opinion we have quality people that are run off by the radicals on both sides of the fence. you have joe manchin gets attacked by democrats and pushed and pushed and pushed to try to stay in the coalition. >> host: do you think that those for candidates that you mention have any ability to gain the attention of the respective parties when it comes to potential run if they would decide to run for president? >> caller: i would hope that by this time after what we've gone through in the past eight years, are going to go through
12:58 pm
in the past eight years with four years of trump and for use biden, that people would start to think rather than just the n one side of the fence. that's what we have right now. weho have people on both sides f the fence. look at those two senators or two congressman steny hoyer the steps. they were stupid. they were ridiculous. that was a joke rather than being a real debate. >> host: even though they supported the candidates and the equally supported the candidates and opposed the other candidate? you didn't get anything from that? >> caller: no, because it's all talking points. what you're out of the senator from new york and a senator from new jersey, the congressman from new york and congress and for florida, was exactly what everybody spews day after day out of washington. you know, the republicans want to take away social security. malarkey.gh the democrats only want to do, do want to get all the college
12:59 pm
kids paid for. it's ridiculous. these guys just all they do is play games to try in when they are 50% of the vote plus some. >> host: that is gym in florida giving us his thoughts on that others line. from michigan, sue, a supporter of biden 2024. hello. >> caller: i'm definitely support of president biden. you have that insurrection trump causeway said haider introduced to the capital to try and overthrow our government. and in the process many cops have died. some of the cops killed themselves after that because of that horror that happen, the insurrection that happened at that capital. trump sat in the white house for over three hours and he did answering nothing to stop that insurrection as those cops were being beaten, tortured and killed. >> host: let me turn your attention to the candidate you
1:00 pm
said you would support in 2024, as joe biden. why is it? >> caller: joe biden has passed so many different things, so methinks trump didn't even try to pass. he said he did but he didn't, the construction portion of that, i forgot the name of that, but he has passed so many different things and he cares so much about all people, not just the rich. he cares about theab poor, the middle class andsu the rich. he cares about anyone, the handicapped people. trump was making fun ofst handicapped people at his rallies. i mean,e trump also -- >> host: as far as joe biden is concerned you say he cares for people. what do you mean by that? >> caller: he is trying to help people. as far as inflation goes, it's not present by default. that has to do a lot with what is going on with covid. and trump did nothing, trump did nothing to stop covid. ..
