the gop, and the gop that i knew as a kid, of the liberals like rockefeller and javits and even george romneyma or manchin and say, we'll go to somebody hostile like donald trump. >> folks, i'm filling in for alex witt. if you watch me all the way through to 5:00 p.m., you can stick around to catch rev on "politics nation" at 5:00 p.m. i'll do a high five every saturday and sunday night on msnbc. thanks, rev. good to see you, friend. >>> my next guest wrote a story in the "atlantic." i guarantee you'll be able to relate to it. this is not an exaggeration. i'm not going to say anything else. just stay here. when we come back, we're going to talk about it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ we believe there's an innovator in all of us. ♪ ♪ that's why we build technology that makes it possible for every business... and every person... to come to the table and do more incredible things. >>> all right, so over the past few years bad behavior of all kinds, rudeness and physical violence, it's increased throughout the united states. early 2021 saw the highest number of unruly passenger incidents ever. according to the faa and

governor george romney declared freedom day. to my colleague mitt romney, you are your father's son. host: that was dick durbin on the senate floor. the phone lines as usual and the picture there of president biden with judge jackson at the white house watching the final vote as it takes towards the number needed for confirmation. this is sophia out of new york. caller: good morning john. to me, she is married to a white man. host: do you want to talk about the candidates themselves and not who they are married to? caller: just give me half a second. to me tim scott he is a disgrace to the history. the people voted for him, white and black for the history. what i am trying to say is, the people put him, vote for him. host: that was sophia from new york. this is barney out of florida. barney, are you with this? this is gordon out of kansas city. caller: thank you for taking my call. i supported her but when she said fentanyl distribution is a victimless crime and she does not even know what a woman is. host: this is james from cha

what you see is a few people who are like, george bush, mitt romney republican saying, okay, wait a second, isn't this government overreach? should we really be infringing on the rights of the private companies? they are still playing the hits from the reagan era. and they are getting shouted down by the way ascendant faction. they are concerned about winning. i think that what you said is so important. and there is very little pretense, even the defenders of this gambit by ron desantis are basically saying that we are not only trying to punish disney, and get them to reverse course. we are also trying to make an example of them. we want to make sure that other can bunnies know that we can punish them. and it's such an interesting reversal from the conservative ideas that were dominant, even just ten years ago. right? not just long ago, republicans and conservatives felt it was their job to protect corporate interests, in part because it was part of their economic project. but also because they could reliably defend large companies -- or depend on large companies to have their backs. they

usually the losing candidate like a mitt romney or george bush senior is pushed to the side rather than pretending they didn't lose. consider a sitting republican governor who has her own republican governor, kay ivey releasing this false and misleading campaign ad that says basically there must be widespread voter fraud because trump wants this lie to be true. such claims have been debunked in alabama and a lot of other places. >> the fake news stole the election from president trump. here in alabama we're making sure that never happens. we have not and will not send ab ben see ballots to everyone and their brother. i'm kay ivey. the left is probably offended. so be it. as long as i'm governor, we're going to protect your vote. >> where to begin. if you want your vote protected, of course, you would just want fair and free access to the polls, limiting voting measures isn't protecting your vote. there are entire states that vote by mail, and while there's more than one way to do it, it is a key way people vote. if somebody is saying to you donald trump will get mad if i don't lie about

romney. echoed by george bush. rumsfeld, i am sorry. echoed by george bush. george w. bush.e afghan people have to starve to death because we hold their funds. and there are other things happening in the world. thankfully, there seems to have been an agreement for a two month reduction of fighting in yemen. the worst humanitarian disaster in the world, according to the united nations food -- united nations. the saudi government, which is the main force responsible for the disaster, along with the united arab emirates, saudi arabia had been blockading, intensifying its blockade of the only port in which food and oil can be imported into the starving country. the official death toll last year was 370,000 people. the actual death role is unknown. again, the united nations warns that hundreds of thousands of children are facing imminent starvation. the saudi and emma rossi -- emirate air forces cannot function without u.s. equipment and u.s. intelligence. u.s. trading. we are assisted by britain, a few others, that the u.s. is in the lead. these things can be changed. the things

she's getting support from big national figures like mitt romney and helped headline a fundraiser. georgeher. money will be no issue for her. the question is can she get over the hump in a state that's very conservative, that donald trump won overwhelmingly, that has a pretty small electorate. this is testing the power of president trump's force in the primary. you'll see that in north carolina in may, in pennsylvania he made that endorsement of dr. oz over the weekend. will donald trump, just because he's popular with the baise, wil that be enough to propel his chosen candidates to victory? >> i want to come to the dr. oz point in a moment, but for liz cheney, win or lose in this congressional race, a lot of people think she'll run for president in 2024, because she is on the record saying i'll do whatever it takes to stop him from being back in the oval office. >> is there enough of a national constituency in the republican never trump movement to legitimately mount a campaign for president? while we see these pockets of never trumpers that still exist in the republican space, one or tw

republicans, who kicked cheney out of house gop leadership, are backing hageman — while george w bush, mitch mcconnell, mitt romneys not california or new york or texas or a big market. $10 million will go a long way towards funding liz cheney�*s campaign. now, you have to rememberfrom history cheney�*s campaign. now, you have to remember from history that money doesn�*t solve all your problems in politics, and there have been many well—funded candidates likejeb bush, who had more money than anyone else and still lost. so, there is going to be money on one side, but also, the mood of the voters in wyoming. i think that the criticisms that cheney had of donald trump will play very large and that, and the question is whether the anti—liz cheney belt will coalesce or be split among several candidates. 0r split among several candidates. or will everyone solidify between that one candidate and take cheney down. it won�*t be because she doesn�*t have the money. i it won't be because she doesn't have the mone . . . it won't be because she doesn't have the money-— the money. i was looking more into the money. i was lookin

romney. >> he did take to the streets there on the first or republican to join thousands of people who were protesting towards georgeth. they marched to the march of an evangelical christians. he toured the reported that he was participating in those because you want to make sure that people understood that black lives matter. >> we need a voice against racism we need many voices against racism and brutality. when you stand up and say that black lives matter. >> tucker: oh, yeah. [laughs] mitt romney took to the streets. [laughs] one of his graded thing lines uttered on tv. mitt romney took to the streets. to watch blm sheet people and defraud donors to buy $6 million mansions in l.a., but guess who the trader is? that's who mitt romney is telling us. she is a lot worse than tony fauci who funded the production of the virus that killed millions of people set treasonous? no, that's not treasonous according to mitt romney watch. >> i do want to point out how much i personally i believe the great majority of people in our country respect you individually and professionally for the week that you do. your scientists not
