. >> it's so interesting to see liz cheney out there pushing for alyssa slotkin.he put up this attack ad in arizona. is she an effective surrogate? >> this is remarkable. i know liz cheney and alyssa slotkin. she's a republican's democrat. she comes from defense world. she's pretty moderate. i like her a lot. this is remarkable that one of the most conservative republicans in congress is for the first time in her life endorsing a democrat and finding more common cause with a democrat than most republicans in her party. i think for alyssa slotkin voters liz cheney is probably a good surrogate and for a lot of voters who think election denialism is an important issue, they support liz cheney. will she turn out progressives? probably not. this pairing makes sense. >> we're out of take. the good news is we have a whole week ahead of us. thank you both. >>> just ahead, cnn has learned iran is preparing to send about a thousand new weapons to russia. what's in that shipment? >>> plus a new rule in new york could make it easier for job seekers to narrow down their search

and i believe members like alyssa slotkin and myself have been doing a good job talking about those issuesnot just a national referendum. voters are voting for and against individual candidates and individual districts. from the very beginning, i've been talking about inflation, about the economy, about jobs, about fixing supply chains. i've always been talking about a woman's right to choose and protecting our democracy. most of the voters i speak to are not single issue voters. they care about the price of groceries, they also don't want to lose their rights. what i try to argue is democrats have a plan to protect you on both of the issues, republicans do not. >> on the issue of inflation, what would you do if you do get another term, specifically in congress to lower inflation. what would you do differently than the biden administration right now on inflation? >> we've done a lot. the chips and science act, for example. bringing the supply chain back so we are not reliable on china. i would do much more than that. we do have legislation that would invest tens of billions of dollars in r

and you made in the last few days, your first endorsement of a democrat, michigan congresswoman alyssa slotkin campaign for her later today. this year you received the john f. kennedy profile in courage award. president kennedy said sometimes party loyalty asks too much. rep. cheney: look, i think i have been a republican ever since i first cast a vote, which was 1984. i don't think i've ever voted for a democrat, and certainly never campaigned for a democrat. but we are at a moment now where my party has really st its way and lost its way into way that is dangerous. it is dangerous because we have become beholden to a man who was willing to stop the peaceful transfer of power. that has never happened in this nation before. my view is, if you really are a conservative, the most conservative of conservative principles is fidelity to the constitution. and if you are willing to overlook an attempt to overturn an election and stop the peaceful transfer of power, you are being unfaithful to the constitution. i think given the moment we are in, we cannot give power to people who have told us they wo

republican congresswoman liz cheney is in michigan to support democratic representative alyssa slotkin who is locked in to a very tight election. scott jennings is a former special assistant to george w. bush and phillip levine is the former mayor of miami beach, florida. let me start with you. what do you think the influence of a liz cheney endorsement of slot kin is in her district? >> i would say very little impact. if you're somebody who strongly believes the january 6th committee was necessary and you're waiting for them to get trump and finally throw them in jail, you're already voting democrat. i don't think there was anybody sort of in that camp who was waiting for liz cheney to come along and give them permission to vote for a democrat. at the end of the campaign, what you're trying to do, what are we doing? how do we get on tv? i think there will be republicans who it enrages because they don't like liz cheney anymore. it motivates them. overall, very minimal on the campaign. >> let me ask but the president campaigning in florida today. he is under water in terms of his appro
