we believe in the same values and principles how we get there is our business how we intersect as crenshaw say that's the strength we have on the right way on the right. i should say they are not all monolithic. they don't have the same faith the same belief the same lineage, but whether it is one of the weather william buckley or jerry farwell they get together to deal with the same way that they want to block affirmative action or block certain voting right and we've got to be able to deal the same way the only way to deal with it is to put it out. expose it. so people have to deal with it rather than the unspoken or we don't want to talk about that. we need to talk about so we stop these divisions and build a movement. that's gonna stop these inequalities and these injustice. so, you know, i do want to ask because you you've been doing this work. it is a heavy lift and you are working you talk about the eulogies and the families and the folks that you meet. how do you take care of yourself? how do you practice self-care you know? i started off several years ago a whole kind of work on m

we've also got john kennedy, congressman dan crenshaw, brian fitzpatrick, and congresswoman chrissy houlahanhat is what one of putin's pals wants, but alaskan governor mike dunleavy says good luck. we'll hear from the governor coming up. plus, former dhs secretary chad wolf will react to the latest boarded numbers, showing a 63% increase in illegal migration. >> todd: a busy three hours in just about 8 minutes and 20 seconds right now. todd and carly, back in just a moment. why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's slider sunday! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! these chicken parm sliders on king's hawaiian rolls are fire! slider sunday! i want that. . . so many people are overweight now, and asking themselves, "why can't i lose weight?" for most, the reason is insulin resistance, and they don't even know they have it. conventional starvation diets don't address insulin resistance. that's why they don't work. now there's release from golo. it naturally helps reverse insulin resistance, stops sugar cravings, and releases stubborn fat all while controlling stress and emotional eating. at last,

representative dan crenshaw of texas said, "it does paint the picture here that isn't accurate."use that picture is too awful to be real. i've interviewed 80 members of congress. and i'd have sex with two and a half of them. not at the same time, of course. i'm not in the g.o.p. one person who clearly wasn't invited to the big-tent party was louie gohmert of texas, who said, "i haven't seen those parties. so i need to find out more about it befre i comment, because that just seems rather bizarre." okay, he doesn't know about this? that's got me doubting cawthorn's story. because you're telling me congressional orgies are happening and louie gohmert isn't a first-round draft pick? i hear the carpet matches the scalp. ( laughter ) we've got a great show for you tonight. my guests are elle fanning and ben schwartz. but when we come back, have you ever wished someone would make a dead-eyed robot child? you're in luck. ♪ ♪ ♪ ( applause ) and now most admired alum! get up there. this is so embarrassing. there's no way it's me. you know her.... you love her.... ruh roh. what are you doi

congressman dan crenshaw says this shows desperation on the part of russian. >> what putin is trying to do is desperately show the west that he has these hypersonic missiles and is willing to use them. as we just noted, they are not particularly useful. they are unnecessary for the target they were hitting, but they are trying to send a message. >> during yesterday's business roundtable, president biden urged american companies to immediately strengthen their defenses against a cyber attack. this has been the advice from the administration for weeks, but with new intelligence, the president now says it's coming. carley, todd? >> carley: alexandria half live in washington. thank you. condemning russia's invasion of ukraine while beijing reportedly militarized islands in the south china sea. listen. >> why can't you condemn this as an invasion? >> don't be naive. condemnation? >> it's not naive to say that's condemnation. >> it doesn't solve the problem. >> todd: what does this mean for the rest? dean from the asian study center joins us now. what should we make of that defensive respo

let's turn to former navy seal congressman dan crenshaw of texas. congressman, your take on the state of the war and the urban fighting in mariupol right now? >> look, i largely agree with general kellogg. putin appears to have gotten in way over his skis. he is losing this war. the only reason he is at the negotiating table whatsoever, i think zelenskyy is doing the best job he can and making public statements, for instance, that he won't give back donbas and crimea. now, in the end, will he? not sure. he is doing the right thing as far as negotiating with putin. putin is now more and more negotiating from a state of weakness. and losing support domestically as well. and i also agree with the other statement. what putin is trying to do is desperately show the west that he has these hypersonic missiles and is willing to use them. as was just noted, they are not particularly useful. they were unnecessary for that target that they were hitting. but they are trying to send a message. they have been trying to send messages to us consistently. now, again

keeping an eye on tonight -- i would circle three republicans here, van taylor, chip roy, and dan crenshawe last couple of charts. these were all politically competitive districts under the old map. they are dramatically republican districts like 15, 20 point republican districts. very, very core republican primary electorates and each one of these republicans for different reasons has gotten maybe a little bit cross wise -- >> not maga enough. they had to say something to swing its district and suddenly it's coming back to bite them. >> it's a question -- i think an open question. trump hasn't directly thrown himself into these races. there's been talk radio resistance. i'm curious when the results come in tonight if there's a penalty in any of these three. >> and very quickly, steve, one of the spins is look at the number of republicans versus democrats who voted. o'rourke doesn't really have one and there are some competitive statewide republican primaries, right? >> the marquee race will be the republican primary for attorney general, ken paxton. george p. bush is running. looks like a

the front line with the ukranian army is engaged in fierce fighting but the russians. glenda crenshaw, rosie, we tried to advance towards downtown that it seems that the russians made it before us. yeah, and ukrainian troops are shooting in all directions. elk ariba saying rushen snipers are stationed on rooftops to prevent the civilians from leaving the city of new york. dozens of residents were seen leaving from this area as well as the eastern side of the earth in honey. no, the ukrainians said they managed to fend off the russians this morning. can you conceive ukrainian armies front line? oh yeah. they're trying to force the russians back, lena dorothy, to my right, also a fierce exchange of gunfire. it seems the russians are advancing for more than one direction. i le as much as let him have the machine guns and anti aircraft guns fired their firing into the air. it seemed like a drone, as hovering above in this spot. and a few minutes before we arrived, dozens of residents had left the city lea a claim. the russian forces granted them only a 15 minute window to lead the area be

howard: ben, what do you make of republican congressman dan crenshaw saying on "fox & friends" that somee right are repeating putin's talking points and, unfortunately, it gives the left something to latch on to which is an inaccurate description of how the right feels. >> i do think there is a very slim faction of people who do repeat a lot of these things and do soar irresponsibly. but i do think that is a very small number. and i think when you have a high level of single digits that show up many polling evidence of the -- in polling evidence of the like that people say we're doing too much to support ukraine, that certainly exists on the right, and there is a fringe on the left as well that, you know, definitely makes the same mistake. but they are the fringes, and we shouldn't pretend that they're not. howard: leslie, 20 seconds left right now. >> i would agree with ben, they're fringes. the problem is who has the bigger platform whether it be social media. you know, you can be one person with a megaphone and be louder than 300 people, and that is the danger because some of the peop

one more little connection by the way, kind of the landmark intersectionality papers by kimberly crenshaw who's credited with naming critical race theory one of the she's created is being kind of the originator of critical race theory along with her mentor derek bell and sharma's famous papers called mapping the margins from 1991 and then one of the first footnotes of that paper she credits angela davis with much of the intellectual and activist spirit that motivates her work. sir hi jonathan, greenberg from northbrook, illinois. the bluest part of blue, illinois and actually that's what i wanted to ask about dr. lindsey you mentioned earlier that people are able to listen to this and intuit that there's something wrong with it. i think that's really true. i hear from my deep blue neighbors all the time whispering to me because i'm there one conservative friend and i'm a safe address for this that they think that there's something wrong. and so what i would ask the two of you other than buying your book, which is a great first step. how do we create a permission structure for people who k

i want to play the sound bite from texas representative dan crenshaw who is a republican and i will getare past putin right now. but i do fear as he begins to lose, he will engage in this campaign. it is harder than he thought, which is again why i say the european union has to step up for their neighbor appear they have to step up for their neighbor because they can reverse this with enough aid if it is getting to the right place at the right time. >> trace: a scorcher campaign meaning more civilian targets and possibly, you know, this thing spilling over into nato countries. >> yes and the russians just aren't that precise. remember what they did in syria. they don't mind if they bond civilian targets. he wrote about the aging and the pentagon says quietly, yes, that aid is still getting in from the u.s. and european allies and that means the stingers and the muscles and that means, trace still getting deliveries by air as well as by truck. we now know europeans depend on denying putin to win and ukraine. we have got to make sure he doesn't win this one. >> trace: very quickly when zi

crenshaw from texas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for four minutes. mr. crenshaw: i rise to oppose the previous question so we can consider the america energy independence from russia act, led by my friend, cathy mcmorris rodgers. this week our president, our american president, asked saudi arabia and venezuela to boost their outputs so american consumers would not see a spike in gas prices. seems like a noble cause. at first glance. i couldn't help to think to myself, what a strange thing to ask. because surely he knows we can also boost domestic production right here at home. surely he knows that domestic production supports american jobs. surely he knows that domestic production is cleaner, by far, than foreign production. far better for the environment than venezuelan oil. unless that socialic dictator -- socialist dictator changed. surely he knows that energy demand doesn't disappear if you ask americans to go buy a tesla. the answer is, yes, he knows that. and the
