she's incredibly effective and even john boehner her, you know foe house republican speaker john bainer said she was probably the most effective speaker ever, right? so i thought we would look start do that sort of three categories and then we'll do q&a with the audience one is role models and early role models and people who helped her along the way i went to kentucky brown jackson's ceremony yesterday at the white house, and it was remarkable. i don't know if you didn't watch the whole thing. you didn't see this. her entire speech except for the very end. that was very moving where she quoted my angelo was her thanking people. it was her thanking people who had helped her from the time. she was a child her family mentors jurists the white house team naming everyone and you know, it's not something you would normally see a leader. a jurist jurisdo, so we'll do role models or people who helped her along the way her early experiences and motherhood which seemed to be really important to developing those the leader and then how she manages criticism and along the way because i worked for

. >> let's discuss with former top aide to house speakers paul ryan and john boehner, brendan buck, and biden/harris 2020. ashley allison. brendan, let's start with trump's last-minute support of madison cawthorn. not a formal press release, but he said voters should give cawthorn a second chance. is that going to be enough for cawthorn or does he even need that help at this point? >> yeah, it doesn't help. the last point i think is the most critical. you only need 30% in north carolina to get through a primary. i think that's probably enough. you know, donald trump, if you look at, if there's any consistency behind what he does when he gets involved in congressional races, it's whatever is worst for the gop. this is a moment where you actually have your republican leadership, you have the freedom caucus, you have everybody across the republican house conference ready to move on from madison cawthorn. he's been an embarrassment, lost the confidence of his colleagues. but here donald trump come in just to make sure he sticks around, i guess because he thinks he's going to defend him to t

es representative boehner will join us in just a moment and get us even former president barack obama is finding himselfme i embroiled in controversy. not entirely surprising here after a bizarre tweet linking s the school shooting with the may 2020 deathch of george floyd . the 44th president tweeted quote as we grieve the children of usa today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of george floyd under the knee of a policege officer. his killing staysh with us all to this day, especially those who loved him. look, everyone right? this is not some kind of twisted competition. mr. obama, the former presidentp has once again reminded americans why he was the original dividerer in chief meanwhile, last night in miami before a game m five betweenan the heat and the celtics, the announcer saidno this following a moment of silence, he urges you to contact your state senators by calling 202 three to four three one to one to leave a message demanding their support for21 common sense gun laws. make change at the ballot box that he contemplates vote to r

the most contentious vote i cast was for john boehner for speaker of the house and he was the only nominee. the fact that the two of us left should tell you about the state of politics. the question is how do you fix it? bill clinton and george bush both won the urban and rural votes. it can be done. it cannot be done if you make no effort to do it and if you have no interest to do it. >> we will get to our guests question soon. but i want to throw a couple of questions out there that i think exemplifies the urban-rural divide. let's start with one that still baffles me, covid. if there is an issue that should be unifying as the people come where there was a clear adversary, it is a pandemic. and get you look at the divide between left versus right, but really pronounced in urban versus rural in how we have been mitigating the pandemic. and i wonder why. has this come down to the basic argument of individual freedom versus collective responsibility , or is it something else? i would love to hear from each of your perspectives why we are so divided. why urban versus rural is so divided and

, to the altar at mar-a-lago very soon after and, you know, you get the question and i think john boehnerom caucus and i'd be very curious what his conversations were that led him from saying that the president should be removed by the 25th amendment but for the schedule or the sort of structural and proceed surely issues to going down to mar-a-lago a couple weeks later to, you know, kiss the ring of donald trump. that's what's interesting to me and, you know, that, of course, would be something that the january 6th committee could get into if kevin mccarthy would agree to speak with them which he has indicated that he will not. >> so let's put that aside for a second, dan. what else does doj need other than kevin mccarthy, the house republican leader, saying what donald trump did was atrocious and wrong, saying that he and scalise both thought criminal conduct had gone on among their own caucus, this knowledge that donald trump had to go, either by impeachment for the 25th amendment but no contemplation that he had to stay, what is doj doing if they are not asking at least kevin mccarthy

i've been here that every budget decision, every major almost going over the fiscal cliff when john boehner was the speaker. oh, if we didn't have a vote to get rid of a woman's right to choose, every budget issue down to the last wire is always about whether you're going to get rid of a woman's right to choose. it's been the fight of the other side of the aisle all along to try to say they are going to control women's bodies and women's health care choices. so we know that you're not going to get rid of abortions if you pass this law. you're not going to get rid of them. when we passed connecticut v. griswold and casey, that is when we basically went down the road of not making -- making sure that women weren't killed in back-alley abortions. so we actually saved lives of women and we started getting people to take care of planned pregnancies and make progress of having people on contraception. so we're not going to get rid of abortions by listening to the supreme court or passing something. they will happen. it will go back to any back-alley approach or other issues to try to deal with it
