your opponent j.d. vance uses this. o tim ryan, and the republican party are captured by the coastal, globalist elites, who look down on every day americans, and want to let, i don't know, open border immigrants to forcibly vaccinate your children. what is your response to this? basically, it's not that far from the line, but the, general idea here, that republican parties are real americans, real working people, democrats are out of touch coastal elitists, and you, tim ryan, or one of them. what do you say to this? >> there is a long record of fighting for ohio. as you know, chris, whether it's issues of trade, or have taken on democrats, are taken on democratic leadership, or even on a couple of occasions, agreed with trump on renegotiating nafta, or taking on china, i have always been grounded in ohio. period, end of story. i grew up a young around young stat, i'm obligated to fight with those people who have been left behind. that is in stark contrast to j.d. vance who has been funded by a billionaire from silicon va

martin: when you look at j.d. vance, who in my view has done a complete turnaround since he had written his book, which is well known. why donald trump got elected -- you sometimes have the feeling that there are two americans. obama once talked about that there is no red or blue america, there is only the united states of america. but from my perspective as an observer from the outside, it seems that there are two parts that do not have any bridges. how do you view that, jessica? jessica: i remember covering john edwards on the campaign trail and he talked about that. it was the americans that have and the americans that do not have. there is a split because there is so little incentive to work together. if you, the moderate democrats, like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, they just beat hillery every single time and it there are poles about how unpopular joe manchin is, that he votes with his state. if you want a democrat from west virginia, joe manchin is the best you will get. but you have democrats wanting to primar

joining me right now is candidate j.d. vanceing memoir "hillbilly elegy." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. maria: so how would you characterize your race right now? what is most important to the ohio voters, in your view? >> yeah, maria, i think we're many a really good spot here in ohio. problem that my democratic opponent, tim ryan, has is he tries to be one thing on his tv commercials, but his voting record and public statements don't back it up. he criticizes mildly the debt forgiveness program, offender, he voted for the exact same thing two years ago -- on the other hand. you can't just flip-flop and expect people to take it seriously. we've got a lot of work to do, and i think we have to make sure that ohio voters actually get out there and vote, because if they don't, we're going to put a guy who supported defund the police and these inflationary policies into the senate of ohio. we deserve to have a good request senator from ohio, not a rubber stamp for joe biden. maria: a political action committee with

we saw that j.d. vance add. that got up late in the game. tim ryan had been on tv for a long time until -- vance has not been able to bring in the dollars he needs to run a full-fledged campaign in ohio, so that ad featuring his wife directed camera trying to soft in his image at a time when republicans are struggling with the politics of the coast- -- post-roe era. now that roe v. wade has been overturned, there is more skepticism of those positions, so putting his wife directed, to camera talking about how he is a family man and being a marine, encapsulates what j.d. vance is trying to do. host: democrats say issues like the abortion vote will drive people to polls in november. republicans say issues of the economy will drive people. which is correct or are they both correct? guest: they are both correct. some voters will care about economic issues. some voters will care about abortion issues. some voters will care about both of them. it is not as easy as saying " the economy is the number one issue." voters are complex. the decision proces

president trump endorsed j.d. vance.r mcconnell has spent $3 million already to try to help j.d. vance in the general election and reserved $25 million more. the president is sitting on a war chest of $100 million. is he going to help the candidates that he felt strong enough to endorse. is he going to do anything in the general election. >> martha: a great question. when you look at the senate leadership fund as you just said, committing upwards of $28 million to win a senate race in ohio, which has been fairly red. did you think you'd see yourself in that position, karl. >> i helped form the american cross road leadership fund. no, this is a race that should be put away. donald trump won the state by ten points. j.d. vance was a multi-candidate field. came out with roughly 30%. won the nomination. but the fact of the matter is money has to be spend and the first guy that tell you that is j.d. vance. i can tell you that because he told me that. this isn't just mitch mcconnell. this is also some of donald trump's nominee

j.d. vance is one of them. blake masters as one of them.pretty much identical in terms of trying to wipe the slate clean on with these people used to believe or did not believe previously, and replace them with the silicon valley big brain far-right, nonsense that you would hear in a podcast or something. it's garbage, frankly, like a lot of these things people believe. technocratic -- they believe in this idea that is borderline racist, quite frequently. but that is the stuff you hear from those type of people. it's very well funded outside of the states that therein. it doesn't play well within these states. you're running against a popular astronaut i was married to a very popular person in the state of arizona. it's very hard to go in with your idea that black people are the ones doing on the shooting. democrats don't want to confronted because of that. that's exactly would like masters said at one point. that's the issue here. republicans have given into trumpism. in every way with a lot of these candidates. there is not going to be a

. >> as a republican in ohio, what does j.d. vanceht now have to do to win that senate race and hold the seat for republicans? >> he has to make a case. i think he's doing that. he's campaigning very hard. you should have him on. >> we'd love to. we've asked him and so far haven't heard back. if he's listening, j.d. vance, we'd love to have you. mike turner, we loved having you. we'll see you soon in washington, and we'll be back in a moechlt moment. for a treatment for moderate-to-severe eczema. cibinqo — fda approved. 100% steroid free. not an injection, cibinqo is a once-daily pill for adults who didn't respond to previous treatments. cibinqo can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. do not take with medicines that prevent blood clots. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma, lung, skin and other cancers, serious heart-rela

j.d. vance, i know you're concerned about student loan debt. is this the way to address it?ainly not, tucker. you hit the nail on the head this is effectively a bail-out for a super corrupt education system. if you want to give student debt relief under penalize the people who have benefited from this corrupt system, not asking plumbers in ohio to subsidize the life decision of college-educated young people, primarily young people who will make a lot of money over the course of their lifetime anyway. no. this is exactly the wrong way to do it. if you give the bail-out to the university administrators, they'll keep doubling down on what they've done, effectively indoctrinating our kids, not educating them, giving them useful skills for the job market, but indoctrinating them and getting a small-craft advisories windfall from joe biden in the process. it's corrupt. >> tucker: i don't understand why republicans don't say anything about this. everybody understands that students are so crippled by debt they can't begin adult lives. okay? that's a real problem. we should not deny

ohio really shouldn't be close, but ryan is running about even with j.d. vancelso a really bad candidate who apparently can't raise money, and the republicans have to run in there and rescue him with $28 million. >> we were showing the poll numbers in arizona showing mark kelly leading black masters 50 to 42%. that should be a wreck that should be a heck of a lot closer than it is. again, this is where the trump factor comes in. and this situation in the republican party right now where candidates feel like they have to echo and parrot his election denialism despite the peril. damn the torpedos. >> arizona is the classic case this year. yes, there are election deniers all over the country. hundreds of them have been nominated by the republicans if you counted state legislative positions. but the epicenter of election denialism is arizona. the republicans nominated a ticket that comes right out of team crazy from top to bottom. >> in georgia, maybe they're vying for that title as well, you've got herschel walker taking on senator raphael warnock, and hear are som

in ohio, it's a statistical tie between american first conservative j.d. vance and phony populist tim ryan. in georgia, favorites on herschel walker is less than two points down on uber liberal raphael warnock. in alabama. mark kelly, a rubber stamp for chuck schumer on everything leads blake masters. young guy, never ran before. in the most expensive race in america in pennsylvania we are supposed to give up all hope because they say uncle fester is beating dr. oz. okay. let me remind everyone it's only the end of august. most people aren't even following these races yet. but they are following their family budget. they know we are already in recession. 60% of those polled by nbc. democrats are so bad for america that 58% believe that our best days are behind us. if pessimism were of growth stock, the democrats would belong in it. americans are getting poorer and weaker with liberals running the show. the media knows this. the democrats know this. the candidates running on the fantasy of climate change and abortion, they know it and they don't care. 74% of amer

mcconnell allies spending $28 million to prop up j.d. vance.e a layup for republicans. donald trump won it by eight points even though he lost it overall by four and a half points. there are other senate races where republicans have nominated untested first time candidates like in georgia and arizona. states like new hampshire where they did not get their prize recruit. you can add arizona to that list. they did not get the governor of that state they wanted. mcconnell having a little deja vu when republicans had a good shot at winning control of the senate both years, but nominated extreme candidates like todd aiken, richard murdoch, christine o'donnell in those two cycles and fell short. all that said, mcconnell's not giving up hope for this. sounds like he's managing expectations, lowering expectations that republicans will get that, saying democrats will either be up slightly in the end. it's very different than the way he talked about 2014 when he was extremely bullish. rightfully so. after republicans got the candidates they wanted and sw

j.d. vance, who ended up winning the nomination, really th anked it to tromp. another person who was taking this for granted. republican should not even be thinking about ohio. that shows how much trouble they are in overall and how much of the dynamics have shifted because all of this almost after labor day when the campaigns really began and they are still worded about ohio. ryan is running a good campaign while vance has been mia not raising money. i think there is a authenticity problem there. he transformed into a tromp acolyte. there is questions about that. the republicans really just need vance to run a better campaign at this point. caller: thank you so much. always honored to have you take my call. thanks for jessica today for showing up. if you -- a fee observations she may take in consideration. today we have the issues, anyone running for office. if you believe that the election of 2020 was stolen, that is an important answer. the other answer, because of the supreme court and their decision on abortion, it upset every woman in the united states on

blake masters in arizona and j.d. vance are both candidates that peter thiel, a trump millionaire, decided he wants to buy. these are two he has brought in -- retail candidates. mcmaster is double digits down. very extreme candidate -- talk about that and i think mark kelly is sitting on the kind of money he is, a lot happier these days. although the whole ticket in arizona is an election denying ticket, which i oppose. j.d. vance. tim robbins doing much better than expected. herschel walker. donald trump, who lost, the gift that keeps on giving for georgia democrats. rachel record now about his former wife -- [indiscernible] -- a terrible candidate. on the state front, brad raffensperger and governor kemp. there's four seats there that are not looking great.

j.d. vance is talking about this, blake masters in arizona, joe kept in the pacific northwest.ders in the republican party in washington would rather those guys lose, and people like them lose, than change the focus of the party to issues that voters actually care about. the truth is you can't win elections, unless you listen to voters. they're telling you what you want. republicans have less than three months to figure this simple riddle out or it's going to be an actual disaster. steven miller has been following it since the beginning, a former senior white house advisor, and joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. this seems like the simplest form that ever. every person hates crime. why aren't they running on it? >> joe biden is the most unpopular president in american history. the forecasts are shrinking every single day. why? because mitch mcconnell isn't interested in running a national referendum that says elect republicans, and in january we seal the border, we reform law enforcement to go after criminals, not republicans, and we end the war on america's chi

now because he's running against a real populace and j.d. vance, he's trying to morph into being one himself. it is all lies. the truth is if he is elected, just like all the other pretend moderates out there, another sure vote for the biden agenda. if biden stuttering demeanor is so bad these days that democrats who are up for reelection are saying thanks, but no thanks to any personal appearances by the leader of their own party. mark kelly in arizona could not bring himself to tell the truth when asked about biden joining him on the campaign trail. >> i welcome anybody to come to arizona and travel around the state at any time. as long as i'm here, if i'm not up in washington. talk about what arizona needs. >> laura: of course, that's a lie. he and most every other democrat running in a competitive race one biden and his 41.5% of approval rating k nowhere nearb. somehow biden has turned the corner and joe momentum? he's got renewed focus and has the wind at his back. really? >> they want a national ban and pass the legislative national ban on c
