he was very bad on ethanol and he for all the way, it is fight against social security. he wanted to decimate it he wanted the minimu retirement age to be lifted to people that are 70 years old he also voted to severely cu medicare, i will not be cuttin medicare, and i will not b cutting social security. ron was a disciple of paul ryan he is a rhino loser wh currently is destroying fox. we constantly vote against entitlements he reminds me a lot of mit romney >> reminds me a lot of mit romney that is the most epic burn you can levy into this gop that was donald trump in iow last night, taking away florid governor ron desantis in front of the 2024 presidential primary. he's not stopping there. he also had some truly uniqu things to say about some potential rivals, and hi former vice president, mik pence. in an interview with reporters

this week, trump said this about pence and the role tha he played on january 6th had mike pence sent the boat back to the legislators, but they would not have had problem with january 6th in many ways, you can blame hi for january 6th. which is wow blame mike pence for january 6th? i didn't think trump had it in him, but okay. while a lot of this might look like the traditional and unbridled characte assassination that is basicall a trump calling card at this point, there happens to be something bigger going on unde this he's been saying all of this a the same time that he has been attempting to position himself as a leader in the republica culture wars if elected, trump said he woul end all federal funding to schools that taught critical race theories, schools tha allowed transgender students t play on sports teams that matc their gender identity, and t teach schools that teach the

cultural, sexual, or and political content. trump also said that he will not give any - the development of which, hi administration fast-tracked. anyways. so, there is that. it's not as if attacking trans youth or covid safety is exactly new for trump. all of those things came under attack at one point or another during his administration. what is new here is trump' focuse on all of this. he wasn't really campaigning o anti crt book bans until ran desantis emerged as a politica rival. what they have now and in th process, moving his own policy decisions even further to th right. at the same time, ron desantis is on his own mission to out trump donald trump, and it's having a similar effect. i'll show you what i mean. here's ron desantis when he wa back as a member of congress talking about the issue of russian aggression in ukraine. >> when putin sees that he can

gain an inch, he's apt to take a mile basically, if america won' give him any pushback, i think they will continue to expand russian influence. >> if we had a policy which wa firm, that armed ukraine wit defensive and offensive weapon so that they can defen themselves, i think putin woul make different -- if he had reagan-esque policy of strength, i think you would see people like putin not wanting to mess with us. >> that was then, but now in his latest attempt to out-trum trump, he's come out against supporting ukraine and the war against putin's invasion in response to a surve question from fox news hos tucker carlson, ron desantis wrote that while they have man national interests, becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute betwee ukraine and russia is not on of them. those comments from him have already started to dra criticism today from republicans on the capitol hill >> it's not a territoria dispute in the sense tha anymore you would be a

territorial dispute, maybe i canada, or taking over the bahamas. just because somebody clai something doesn't mean that it belongs to them. this is an invasion. >> do you agree with him whe he says that defending ukraine is not a national security interest for the united states >> i would not agree with hi on that. >> he's one of the individuals that have an interest in working as an ex president o the united states. he really needs to get befor any think that they decide t make up their minds on thi particular issue >> i think that is a misunderstanding of th situation. this is not a territoria conflict it's a war of aggression governor of florida, he's been a great governor, but in m opinion, if you don't ge ukraine right, this is going t be a bigger war.>> texas republo john cornyn also felt the need to distance himself from desantis's comments. he told reporters, i'm disturbed by it. i think he's a smart guy, and want to find out more about it i hope he feels like he does

not need to take that tucker carlson line to be competitive in the primary trump and desantis are pushing each other further and further right, and pushing the consensus among republican primary voters to the right as well it is only march of the year 2023 joining us now are donovan martin, politicos bureau chief and jen psaki, former whit house press secretary fo president biden. by the way, the new show inside with jen psaki, premier next sunday right here o msnbc. we're very excited for that, and we will start with you, my friend you can almost see the establishment wing of th republican party watch its platform fly off into the ai like a balloon that has been let go as they hear what trump an desantis are now saying, specifically about major issue like about foreign policy. my question to you is, is this how the republican platform is now going to be shaped

does it matter what anybody in congress actually thinks is it actually desantis an trump who will determine where the goalposts lie on the fields >> congress still has th ability to pass legislation in funding for ukraine, and thing like that. that is important. ron desantis and donald trum are currently the two leadin contenders for the republica nomination they've decided, trump a lon time ago decided this, they ar going to do america first. the trump motto from when he ran. that means that we don't wan to get engaged in conflicts an we don't want to get engaged i peace making, or foreign polic much at all. those clips that you playe were from six years ago for ro desantis they were not that long ago, which is so important to remember it is a repositioning of the current leaders of the republican party, of who the want to be that is a pretty rapid shift in terms of political shifts

from where the republican part with john mccain, or even mitt romney were leading it >> i guess i wonder, jonatha whether they understand if there's a general election tha comes after you become the party nominee? it seems like, and let's b more broad than foreign policy but some of these position that they are taking on cultur war issues, social issues, issues about education, an quote unquote, parents rights, they don't pull well with th vast majority of americans it seems like there's no clear path to actually winning a general election if you stak out these positions in primary season >> i'll take the broad questio first. we saw in the midterms las year, a lot of the republicans learned all of the wrong lessons from donald trump, which is to say that you don't have to ever face a genera election, and you can foreve live in a primary bubble the republicans learned th hard way that that's not the

case on a more narrow issue o ukraine, i think that trump an desantis, and especially desantis, they're chasing th voters more than they ar actually leading them. look, the polling data i pretty clear on this that as the months have gone on, mor and more in the gop base hav sort of grown uneasy about our continued intervention with th ukranians. many like the governor o florida sees that, and doesn't want to get on the wrong sid of the primary voters. and yes, that is what they'r focused on right now it's winning that primary. they are not thinking about th broader audience thos who decide the election i 2024 >> i guess i wonder, i mean, you seem to be saying that the genesis of this is the base, he's responding to the base. i wonder if there is not a mor cravin'political calculation here maybe rhonda santa's here' donald trump compares him to mitt romney. he knows what he said, as je points out, where he was not the general and culture wa that he had proposed to be i

this day and age how much of this do you thin is him trying to issue a preemptive salvo for the attacks that are going to come his way, courtesy of trump >> there's no question tha desantis is consumed wit insulating himself on his maga flank. i wouldn't even call it a righ flank, because i think those phrases have already gotte bundled in the trump era, what is right, what is left certainly, he's fixated on guarding his maga flank. you see it on his stance i ukraine, you see it with the folks that he surrounds himsel with, bringing some of the hard-line members of the house down to palm beach for his big donor retreat. social media influencers on th right, people he has cultivate in tallahassee, trying to make them allies. i think he's doing all of that because he doesn't want to giv trump any opening to attack hi on the kind of maga styl

issues the issue is, is he hurtin himself with the other wing of the party? call it the wagon wing >> that's exactly the question as you sure up the base, you lose the general public. there is a piece in th atlantic, which is a very soli analysis of the desantis pseudo-candidacy he points this out, which think a lot of people have missed in the focus to the culture war stuff. more dangerous than th unpopular positions that desantis holds at the popula positions that he does not hold what is his view on health care? he doesn't seem to have one. president joe biden ha delivered cheap insulin to u s. users good idea or not silence from desantis. there is no desantis job policy, he hardly speaks about inflation. homelessness, the environment, nothing. even on crime, desantis must avoid specifics becaus specifics might remind his

audience the crime numbers are wors than new york in california. that is something that the white house is probably well aware of, am i right >> salivating. chomping at the bit. i have a lot of analogie there. but that's how we got here he ran in effectiv communication strategy basically on twitter, and by giving a set of predetermine remarks of where he was th strongman, pounding his ches about how but she was not goin to abide by restrictions o covid, the vaccines terrible i'm returning sanity here, screw disney a lot of these things where he was being this strongmen - i mean, the strongman. and so that's how he got here. that is not going to get worke with through the course of a competitive primary. it should work, people are going to ask him questions he's going to have to debate he's going to have to have positions. certainly, he will in a genera election that strategy is probably wh he's here today.

>> so, you wrote about the establishment freaking out about a desantis candidacy i wonder if your sources giv you any indication about the alarm bells they are ringing at least behind closed-door. are they having any effect o the campaign proper? he's meeting with wealth donors, he certainly here' what's being heard in othe corners of congress, whether h is acting on any of them do you think that he is awar of how much he might b compromising his own shot, and by the way, the republican platform on a whole. this stuff, as you point out it is a very close relationshi between trump and desantis, an the republican base. what they say shapes opinion i the party. the last thing the establishment wants to be is being at odds with the base. >> and it's not just the sor of challenges that he's goin to have to have the balancing, the base of the party versus the general election but it's actually within the

party itself, alex there is still a robus internationalist wing in the republican party you play clips of a number o senators, certainly from tha faction of the party, and this is the important point the donor class of the party i overwhelmingly tilted toward hawkish, interventionist whatever you want to call it that faction you can be assured that thos folks noticed that comment tha he made yesterday about hi view on ukraine. it contradicts where a lot o the money, folks in the party, the contributors are he's gonna know and the months ahead because i know fro talking to some of them that they are not happy where he is coming down on the ukrainian issue. their view of that issue i much more in line with the reagan and bush approach t national security politics it is going to be fascinatin to see in the months to come what desantis does on this ukrainian issue. does he stick where he is now, grow even more isolationist, o

kind of making and somewha moderating his view to appease the kind of donors that are no going to like it at all. >> jen, how does the white house calibrate the response i the ukraine issue? once you don't want to mak this--a contrast with the maga win of the party, you don' actually want them to become a political football if you're in the white house right now, how are you managin this >> you also don't want t become a political problem for republicans in congress, who are inclined to suppor funding. it's true, the establishment republicans, the donor class they are all supporters and ar continuing to fund ukraine it can be a narrow vote on these kinds of things. this is part of the reason why president biden just went to ukraine, trying to shore u support, remind the public o how important this is. if there are a few wiggler's i there in the republican caucus that are not going to suppor them because they feel lik maybe they want to be in the trump and desantis wing, that' a challenge for them politically, if you get to a general election, biden is going to be talking abou values, and who we are as

country, with part of that being standing up agains dictators and authoritarians that is a stronger argument in a general election, but he may have some shorter term challenges on continuing to ge the funding through. >> just one quick question we haven't talked about this much since the show began 15 minutes ago, but if there is a trump indictment, how does desantis react to that he needs to court trump voters but he also has to make clea that he's not the guy with criminal charges >> really fast, what jen was saying about the short ter challenges, this support comin out as sort of very dovish o ukraine, it's most affective i the house. this could really save gop fro getting in the house, an

create challenges for bide getting funding for ukrainians at the house this year on the larger issue, alex, about trump in the indictments if you are ron desantis, i don't think you take a swing a that pitch i think you just let that go by trump will use that to fire up his core, raising money of that over small givers it's just not something that h wants to get at. if anything, i think it woul be an oblique reference abou focusing on the future focusing on attacking democrat rather than litigating the past beyond that kind of a vagu reference, i can't see desanti or any of the other would-be gop candidates taking that crack on trump ove indictments. >> maybe he will just blam mike pence for january 6th jonathan martin and jen psaki, my colleagues, my friends, thank you for both being here. we appreciate it >> thanks, alex. >> we have much more ahead thi evening as we await a ruling that could change access t abortions nationwide but first, what do republicans mean exactly when they tal about woke banking the answer is coming up next stay with us ♪ ♪ ♪

narrowly avoided falling int financial crisis after the 16t largest bank in the country, silicon valley bank, and another bank, signature bank collapsed within days of eac other. we are still not entirely ou of the woods here, but already this has shifted from an economic crisis to a series of political attacks. the central debate here is how to regulate the american economy so a crisis like thi does not happen again. instead of focusing on policy, or what actually happened here republicans are doing this >> they were one of the most woke banks >> this bank is so concerned with dei, politics, all kind of stuff, i think that reall diverted from them focusing on their core mission remember after doesn't eight

the obama administration the swooped in and oppose the, i think one, sanders on th entire financial sector. and that's one of the main reasons the big banks are no increasing the incompetent >> silicon valley bikers i wok biden back that were holding seminars on a large bi visibility day, national pride month. now you want to hold apartment that is fine, but you have t be able to come at the sam time and walk. so, keep an eye out on the balance sheet guys >> this is really the firs particular that was caused b adherence to it woke beliefs and policies >> what does that mean, really what does that mean? it's not a hypothetica question republicans are making their new talking point that wokenes and diversity equity and inclusion principles are somehow what's some silico valley bank. but no one really seems to b willing to say what they actually mean by that. how did dei have anything to d with us? for example, this is fry the coop, a local chicken joint in

chicago, they opened in 2017 and now seven locations with a eighth is about to open. they seem to go pretty going very well for this restaurant. the workers didn't get, paid and gas numbers, and manager have paid every two weeks on friday 2027 of those employees work that they normally do but when friday came, they did not ge paid because of the silicon valle bank collapse. now fry the coop doesn't ban with this bank by sparro company, pager software, the do the ceo of apparel company patriots software put out th statement saying that he was quote ticked, really picke about the spanking debacle this is probably the mos polite reaction i can imagin in a situation like this the ceo went on to explain tha the silicon valley bank failur was preventing patriots of swear from processing th payroll of more than 800 clients. that doesn't mean 8000 workers that means clients with an untold number of workers, al just not getting paid. this was not woke liberals

melting down a tech sector ban because they'd over invested i woke companies and causes. patriots after is a payrol company that keeps the books for a fried chicken chain in chicago. if it wasn't the actua clientele, the businesses that they invested, what is the closest explanation that we've had to explain that it was a woke bank? we saw it in this wall stree journal opinion column o sunday quote, silicon valley bank notes that besides 91% of thei board being independent, and 45% women, they also have on black, one lgbtq+, and two veterans >> i'm not saying that 12 whit men would've avoided this mess but the company might have bee distracted by diversit demands. >> ohhh, okay, okay okay.. i'm not saying if white men ha been in charge of the financia collapse, it would've happened

but... but kind of are the idea that, quote, one black, when lgbtq+, and a bunch o women are the reason this bank collapsed now seems to be th new republican party line. joining us now is sheila kohat are, stiffs -- writer at the new yorker, wher she writes about economics and politics she sits right in th intersection of all of the things that are happening here for people that don' understand where wokeness sits and where the collapse of sv silicon valley bank happened is there an intersection between wokeness and their collapse >> to put it bluntly, the idea that there is a collection between diversity policies a this bank, and the bank' collapse, it's complet nonsense anybody that says that is bein totally unserious. the bank was run by capitalists, capitalist businessman who

wanted to make a lot of money. they wanted the bank to grow very fast, which is never great idea for a bank. banks are supposed to be kin of boring. they did all kinds of things t rapidly increase the amount of money that they had on deposit at the bank, they catered to silicon valley companies in th midst, frankly, in a bubble. they're getting tons of cash from investors because interes rates were very low, and there is all this easy money they simply did not look carefully at the risks tha their company had taken on through this business model. that's why this happened, pure and simple it seems like this, and th layman, variation that the republican party wants to fram this as the workforce is not work issue, it's because i avoids having to answer th more fundamental questions about what we do in terms of bank regulation. do you see it that way, and do you have a sense of what the republican party platform migh be on the question o regulation and deregulation,

given his past history >> the gop is in the middle of an identity crisis, to put i mildly right now they're trying to figure out what their relationship is i terms of their brand the business world, business world, big money, interests, because traditionally th republicans favor policies tha drove the rewards of society towards wealthier people executives and ceos, companies wanted to cut their taxes, implement the policies benefiting them, because now all of a sudden it can politically be a liability president trump and others sho them that this business ca help with certain voters i think that a lot of this rhetoric now, which has again, been unserious, not engage with the matter at hand in thi tough problems that we have to sort out it's just pandering to the voters >> and to some degree, it' probably the realization tha so much of the grassroots base of the gop is fired up on th issue of economic populism, an

has been since 2008. they were not in governance at this point, but understand the trend lines. in 2008, it gave rise to donal trump in a way, the sends ou the system was rigged and th sense that you need somebody that was a true talker that wa a truth tucker, and didn't giv a damn about what the libera elites wanted. at this point, you can't forsake that voter, it's a voter that's going to go out and pull the lever for the gop at this point. at the same time, they're also the party in the chamber o commerce squaring those two in a moment like this seems damn nea impossible i wonder what you think happen here in terms of it having thi push in 2018 to deregulate these kinds of banks, and ther is now democrats with kati porter, saying that things bring back that regulation do you think that -- >> i think the collapse of these two banks certainly give valuable emission to the elizabeth warren's of th

world. she can say, look at thi disaster, it could've been avoided possibly if we require this bank to be more conservative that would basically mean that the bank is required to have more cash available if thing get a little bit tight it's not just maxing out the risk profile, assuming tha everything will be wonderful forever. and it plan for a rainy day, they didn't do that. i do think it will be a good time to revisit those issues but you can never say for sure that a lot of these republican lawmakers when it comes to these financial regulatory issues, that they will fli flap depending on which way th wind is blowing. we've seen this with other issues, and you trust reform and the tech sector fo example. some of them are against i some for, it they don't know what they think. i think they are going to have a little bit of that now i think it's a good moment t go in there and at least try rolling back those regulations

is clearly not a great idea. what of dei? ron desantis has made this going up against disney, those policies, the inf it is across the country. it's become a banner under which a lot of republica conservatives want to march. can they be effective it's forcing companies to adopt mor retrograde policies in terms o staffing and inclusion >> they used to be a party o small government, laissez-fair economics, want everybody to make their money, in a fre capitalist market. now they want to tell companie what to do, what they can to use their own employees. can they even give the diversity training it is a little bit of flip-flop for them however, i do think that the

reason they have glommed ont this anti woke agenda is tha they feel it is working at least in some small sector o their voter rolls. you have to remember, they are all trying to create content and talking points for the media channels that is so obvious this is all just meant to kind of go viral on right-win social media, and as long as they think it's working fo them, i think they wil continue to do it, even though it's clearly insincere and completely unhelpful in term of actually addressing the underlying problems, which could, yes, continue to lead t bank failures in the future. there could be more seriou ones, where not just the fried chicken payroll companies ge hit, but it could really lea to problems in the future. it would be great if they woul focus on actually addressing that problem >> as long as there is a democrat in the white house to clean it up, they can continue making their viral videos. at some point, they need to be

for weeks now, we have bee watching a federal case in texas that has nationa implications for reproductiv rights if trump appointed texas judge matthew kaz merrick, rules for the plaintiffs in his case, he could undo fda approval of

mifepristone, which is bee used and safely medication abortions for more than 20 years. now, late last week, judge has merrick scheduled a hearing in this case. for this week, he tried to kee it a secret. the washington post caught win of text merrick's clandestin moves, specifically, that he planned to keep any mention of that public hearing until th night before he even held a secre conference meeting last friday discussing his decision to delay public notice of his plans. all of this secrecy in a federal case with national public health implications all the secrecy is highl irregular. so, when media organizations like nbc in the washington pos discovered the judges plans, then raised concerns about elective transparency, judge kacsmaryk decided yesterday to announce this week's hearing i the public to get. today, he also made th transcript for friday's weirdl

secret conference meetin publicly available again reports say this judge never wanted any of this information out until the very last minute now, we have the transcrip that reveals why here's the judge the purpose of the statu conferences is to announce the hearing that will be set in th pending motion for the preliminary injunction the court will hold a hearin on plaintiffs pending motion for a preliminary injunction a 9:30 am central daylight tim on wednesday, march 15th, 2023 because of limited securit resources and staffing, i will ask the parties avoid furthe publicizing the date of th hearing. this is not a gag order, but just a request for courtesy, given the death threats an harassing phone calls an voicemails that this divisio has received we want a fluid hearing with all parties being heard. i think less advertisement o this hearing is better so, i'm not ordering under any gag order doctrine that you ar

understand how in the worl this can actually be happening legally speaking, what are the merits of this case? >> right, i think that thi case was inevitable, i think it's where the anti-choice movement has wanted to go in court for a long time. which is to actually go past any statutes that specifically prohibit abortion, or make people liable for helpin someone get an abortion, and just say, murder is murder in a fetus is a person so, it invokes interestingly just the murder statute in texas. and wrongful death in texas. and the language of it is baby silver was murdered, and someone needs to be held t account for doing that >> this is the movement toward fetal personhood is somethin you hear about in stat legislatures among far-right conservative members, with increasing frequency could this be, could the endgame of this case really be that to establish feta personhood

and then get it worked through the court system for nationa policy >> well, i think it's a long game part of it is laying the conceptual groundwork, remember, his lawyer, one of his lawyers is the person who wrote sva, the texas law that introduce this idea that the people wh help with the abortion are als on the hook for something. and we'll see how far he can get here, but i think it's not just about the suit, one of th things that jumped out at me how much of the language o prosecution was in here, and what they might be trying to d is trying to go to prosecutors into bringing this case. who's really supposed to b holding people to account fo murder >> right, you're saying th husband is suing, but hey, da, shouldn't you in texas b taking this case of murder up? because baby silva was murdered? never mind that baby silva was a fertilized embryo and a fe weeks?

old >> exactly this da, in the next day i texas, then the next da in texas. or the da in some other state. i think that sort of the maste plan >> wow in the meantime, you read thos text message chains, it is a group of women who see their friend, i mean, first of all the sense that they ar offering her support in a time of crisis is so abundantly clear. i'll read another excerpt from it amy says, mistakes happen, you can't spiral hopefully this is a slap in th body that you need to remove yourself from him. >> yeah, it is, for sure can't risk something like that generally. especially with him. i just worry about your motion state and will be able to snea his way into your head then another one says, delet all conversations from today you don't want him looking through it brittani, got. it will do for sure. here's another friend, and get rid of the test and rapper, no

at home. >> first of all, the environment in which this woma is feeling the clear pressur to carry through with this pregnancy, despite what is clearly not a good situation for her at home, i think leave anybody is reading that in distress she's trying to not have thi pregnancy, carry this pregnanc through to term, she wants t get away from this men number one, the fact that he has access to these text messages, and that these women now are being charged with sue for wrongful death the actual effects of that are profound >> indeed, alex, there's s many red flags here. we were just learning about th silva family, we were just looking at what you read, i' reminded of when sva first wen into effect. so many advocates who work o domestic violence were worried that this could be another instrument of what we call power in control over th person in your house tha you're abusing you could say, if you're tryin

to get an abortion, i'm gonn sue your sister and your mom and your friend and whoever is in your circle of support. so, the whole tone of it raise that, and one when i was a prosecutor, one of the thing that we would look for i domestic violence cases, whe they take your phone we don't know, mabel and tha he got these messages some other way, i do worry that h was tracking her phone, that h was taking her phone out of he hands, which is her way of connecting to the outsid world. so, -- >> she talked about not wantin to leave the state, she ca have the pregnancy test, she's talking about basically just trying to keep as low a profil she possibly can around this and her friends clearly thin he's a bad actor in her life >> indeed. and we know that now they're actually divorced. this was a relationship that ultimately did fall apart. we're seeing some of the history of that here, and ho it intersects with abortio regulation in a really terrifying way >> in terms of - you talk about autonomy here it's not just bodily autonomy, it's emotional autonomy, it' economic, financial autonomy

things that are being infringe upon in texas when you tal about women under the auspices of pregnancy, it is th handmaid's tale. >> it's amazing. she's talking about taking a day off of work, in order to manage this abortion, really kind of gives you a window int what the abortion pill, as opposed to a surgical abortion really means in the lives of women who are in dire straits. >> such an important point, as we await a cataclysmic decisio in that case down with the judge kaczmarak in amarillo, towards, it's a joy to talk to you about really distressing things we'll be right back. ♪
