democrat. whereas bill clinton was someone who's actually very ideological who believed fundamentally believed in these ideas and a lot of what the dlc was trying to do was actually to shape shape the electoral strategy at the democratic party, but also to shake reshape theology of the party to make it much more focused on those types, so for the very liberal members of the democratic party back, then what we would call progressives today. what was their critique of the dlc? well, they called it and jesse had many choice words. probably captured on c-span. um, but of really being really frustrated, i mean one of them was that there was an old it was a southern voice network because it was primarily white southern men. another critical one is that they're the democrat he called them the democrats of the leisure class and that it was this idea that it was sort of trying to promote more upper middle class and upper class corporate interests and not really standing for what the democratic parties t

is one of the things the democratic leadership tend to focus on and of course the democratic party focus on is winning national elections. especiallyly winning the presidency and what this did was make a rule of vacuum at the state and local level with republicans have really taken advantage of over the last years. i think one of the critical things that has happened in the collar is actually right. republicans have been really affected networking legislation the state and olocal level. one of the really critical lessons about is for the democratic party to more of the state and local level for people to get out and focus on state and local elections because critical issues of democracy are being addressed there. john went on his calling and go ahead. good evening. what is your opinion on the progressive wing of the party? and what about berniesa sanders? do you see bernie writing again in the future? yes? >> what is your you see bernie sanders running again inke the future and would you like that? check but i would like to see him try to get my progressive movement i think it is very vi

is one of the things democratic leadership has to focus on and push the democratic party to focus on is winning national elections especially winning the presidency and what this did is create a vacuum at the state and local level. the caller is absolutely right republicans have been affected at working legislation so one of the critical lessons of that is for the democratic party to do more at the state and local level and people to focus on local elections and issues of democracy are being addressed. >> host: don is calling from glen bernie, maryland. >> caller: what is your take on the future of the progressive wing of the democratic party and what about bernie sanders? do you see bernie running again in the future? and why -- yes? >> host: what is your view of the progressive wing of the party and do you see bernie sanders running again in the future? >> guest: i would definitely -- my opinion about the progressive movement, very viable but the messaging, they have a bad label, socialism and communism, that her to them but overall, better for the country if they could get some pr

>> i voted for democrats. i'm voting straight ticket democrats. i'm going to stay straight ticket democrats. i don't expect much to happen out of these talks that they're going to have, because the republicans, and everybody think it's a democrat that should be doing something here. a way the senate is set up, there should be 60 points, that means you need ten republicans to say that the republican party, no, we've got to stop this. we can't have our kids dieting bullets in school. it is on the republicans. this is on them. this pledges on their hands. >> okay, okay, okay. that's mike there. let's go to douglas in ohio, democrats line. douglas in canton, ohio, hala? >> i, yes, this is me. >> you're on, go ahead. >> oh, yes. i'm voting for the primaries or november for the gun laws. and the question i have to ask, you can legalize marijuana, but why can't you make these laws that can stop this gun violence that's going on around the country? and another issue i would like to -- hello? >> you're on, go ahead! >> yes, my issue is that they'll be voti

for democrats. that's why they have resisted this push from democrats for the gas patch suspension for several months. but really, he still-limited, the president is in terms of things he can do to fight inflation. this would be one perhaps a simple step that people,, voters would understand. and that's why i think it really is being considered now. of usa today who covers the white house, and doral who covers congress. you are on with our guest, go ahead. >> hi, i am 28 and i heard you talking about people in washington, i am definitely watching. i think the gas text is the next biggest step that they can take. the easiest step. it is something he has been saying with different things. one thing i wanted to say it was i was hoping that joe biden would do a little different and it seems like trump never took anything for granted. usually blame, you take the responsibility, people appreciate that. we keep saying that every decision you're making is not wrong, i think people can do that sometimes. i k

it's now democratic control to be very safely democratic. so they're kind of hedging their bets.what are the ideas that you are seeing take center stage that there are hoping will be more winsome this year. that perhaps were not, you know primary in front and center back in 2018. on the republican side. we're seeing a return to culture wars in georgia that we really haven't seen in a long time, you know, one of the first things that governor kemp did when he took office was sign of sweeping anti-abortion law. and that was something that his predecessors tried to avoid and he's expected to soon sign a very broad ranging gun rights expansion into law both aimed at energizing republican voters, but we're all seeing a return to sort of culture wars the classroom. we're seeing legislation that seeks to direct how teachers can talk about race and gender in the classrooms. what what republican sponsors called divisive concepts we're seeing legislation that gives school officials more power to ban what they see as offensive books obscene books restrictions on transgender athletes from fr

democrats to win. we are seeing democrats raise their hand and run in part because they want to challenge and maybe they can pull off a miracle but from the party level, to engage voters, just to energize every vote counts. a local democrat that has no chance of winning that can still get 50 extra people to the polls that wouldn't otherwise vote, that can add up but we are seeing republicans do that with congressional campaigns against undefeated democrats and the interesting thing the republican majority could have been much more aggressive and draw lines to pick up the congressional seats in the u.s. house and multiple legislative seats but instead they decided to play it is safer to maintain the majorities through the rest of the decade because some of those seats they could have potentially had in the u.s. house this cycle but both of them could have been vulnerable in 2024, 2026 instead they drew one seed that smelled democratic-controlled and another seat that smelled democratic-controlled so the

my grandparents were democrats, my parents were democrats, and i was a democrat.16 with president trump, and i continue to spread the message to be a role model like a congresswoman missouri are rah flores to say, hey, it's time for us to wake up because the democrat party walked away from hispanics a long time ago. they're no longer standing up for our faith, they're not standing up for our traditional family values, and they are not standing up for law and order and protecting our american communities. and that's why people are walking away. maria: yeah. well, i'll tell you, it really is hypocritical. the democrats are always telling us how they're pushing for women's rights, for example. they're up in arms about the supreme court decision, and yet they don't want to describe what a woman is, and they don't want to keep women and knowing that women have babies, they call it birthing people. i mean, it's absolutely mind-boggling. i want to take a breakment when we come back, you are at heart of america's border crisis in the rio grande area. i want to talk about

do the democrat, do the democratic leadership, do they understand what is coming their way in a matternths? >> they may understand. but they're not talking about it publicly. they're not creating a narrative that the republican party, when they come in, they're going, to you know, as we know, they will have 30, 40, 50 investigations going on, with hunter biden and hillary clinton and they will make sure that you can't expand medicare or give debitle coverage to people who -- dental coverage to people in west virginia and elsewhere. democrats have done a pretty poor job of saying this is what the republican party is and this is what it will do, if it regains power, in terms of, you know, benefits, social benefits, social welfare programs, or threats to democracy. whatever you want to pick and choose here. and i think that, i think that's unfortunate. and if merrick garland is prosecuting cases, you would have more basis for a narrative there but trump is out there saying democrats are destroying the country and democrats are saying we're doing the best we, can that is not a fair even fi

that's the position of the democrats in this body. that's why we're saying, why did it take so long? six weeks ago was when the draft leak happened and the protests started at justices' homes. after the unprecedented leak of that draft opinion. they have been doing it now for weeks and weeks and weeks. here's the email from this organization, here's one of the messages. if you're in the d.c. metro area, join us our protest at barrett's home. move the needle this -- to this coverage. falls church. she sends her seven children to her people of praise school that he sat on the -- she sat on the -- she goes to church daily. as if it's a bad thing. i think it's a good thing. the details where her kids go to school, church and daily routine. the democrats said nothing to worry about. that's our concern. so thank goodness this bill is here. madam chair, we reserve our time. mr. lieu: thank you. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman continue to reserve? mr. lieu: i'm going to respond to that because that's a lie. the fact he's saying th

democrats, -- for republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000.202) 748-8002. all others, (202) 748-8003. guest: take some sort of role in deciding which to open. our system allows to give all the power to the states to appoint fear electors it's on the popular election in that state. the idea a president could unilaterally overturn votes of the state wasn't the part of the design. there are lots of other problems. the question of objections. there is a question of what an objection should be laid out. that is not clear. there are all kinds of other ways that eschew can unfold. there are very easy, straightforward ways this statute can be made more clear. it can be made more clear before we know who will benefit. that is why it should be possible of members of both parties to come together and agree to these basic rules so that if we have a -- election in 2024, there is no confusion. it is a recipe for chaos if it isn't taken care of. rebecca greene. host: wrote -- wrote a letter. uniformly counter the act. it is my considered judgment that my hop

this is a democratic seat here. an open seat actually because of the incumbent here, josh hart, or left to run in a different district. you have a member of the state legislature here. a democrat leading with the mail vote we have seen come in so far. you've got a farmer, duarte, he's actually endorsed by kevin mccarthy. republicans have put a lot of money behind him. again, i show you the 13th district because it's not gonna be resolved tonight, but we are gonna get set tonight as well the general election matchup is. these are the two candidates of each party, the leadership in each party would like to see get nominated. the 13 district is going to be a competitive district as well. this november. this is just a show you the numbers starting to come in here in california, look at that, looks like marin county, just north of san francisco has some numbers. we are waiting. zooming in there. you see san francisco, that little dot right there, we are waiting to see that light. up that will mean that we have results in

again, is this just a messaging problem for democrats because democrats i don't think are as liberal. >> i think some of it is this disconnect between some elites and the grass roots base of the democratic party, especially the most moderate democrats i've come across in my career are the non-white democrats. san francisco is 60% non-white. l.a. is 74% non-white. that's always been the heart and soul of the democratic party and some of these elites i think maybe have stopped listening to the real grass roots and the base of the party and maybe it's because the white liberals of which i'm one, punch above their weight. they tweet a lot. they work in the media. but when politicians listen to the base of their party and the democrat picic party they come in a much more successful place and moderate place. >> right on. thank you both. see you soon. >> thanks. >>> president biden making the rounds on late night tv, might be a comedy show but he's being asked serious questions. we'll play it for you, next. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. in one easy appointment...

and if you don't do that, democrats can't win. >> jim, your thoughts on how democrats message around this mixed bag of the economy ahead of november? >> well, look, i think that these elections are always about the economy, but david has it right, this has to be a choice. and biden says this is the best when he says, don't compare me to the almighty. compare me to the other guy. and, eventually, november we are gonna get to the choice between democrats and republicans. and we've got to be very clear about why we're on voters sides on the economy. but, if you look at polling, it is very interesting that it changes you are seeing because, yes inflations, number one. but what is coming up to two and three? guns and abortion. and those are two social issues where democrats have a very big advantage and can go on the offense. but, we cannot forget the economy and the economic inflation issues. we have to have a clear message. and we have to win these moderate voters that are going to decide who wins this election. >> tim, speaking of guns and the other social issues that republicans have

there is so much pushback on the democratic side. so, i mean that's that's the third i have right and i'm as as an as an asian. there is a lord of ic on the democratic side this whole concept of are white adjacent and things like that, which is very hateful. so that that's just a perspective and i i think from my my perspective at least i would like to see the democrats move more to the moderate side than otherwise. so what what are your thoughts? well look as as we discussed. i think biden had an extraordinarily ambitious agenda and certainly the progressives in congress and across the country had an extraordinarily ambitious agenda and the hopes that you could realize things. that have been certain kind of progress that has been. very rare in our country periods that are rare. fdr lbj, you know you don't get these opportunities very often and i think the democrats felt that there was an opportunity. it collides with their narrow majority and that's why they've had to i think a judge but i don't i don't share the view that the probl

the democrats knew is different.xactly what kim said paid the rest of the bench. we know this because just like your talk about respect for elders all of us have gone to the pain of watching loved ones, family and friends who suffered the offense of like we have all do. whether or not you can be the leader of the free world is not really up to doing it right now you can seek us between a whispering and yelling and angry, gets lost and confused where there's no way is going to be able to do it for another term for the democrats know this but they've made that deal. like kim said there's not much of a bench to pull through up or they're hoping for michelle obama but i don't think that's happening. spend an exact i'm sure they would love too. more likely is kamala harris, right? kim howdy think democrats feel about the prospect of kamala harris stepping into the shoes of the president? >> it says something joe biden has absolute abysmal poll numbers and hers are even worse. they don't have a lot of options but here's th

democrat dr..ck note, congresswoman lauren boebert held off a challenger in her very red district. and many of these races it was the unaffiliated voters that help to get these more moderate candidates across the line. we are now going to send it out to new york where my friend and colleague bryan llenas will continue our primary coverage. bryan? beco alisha, good evening. after a contentious primary, representative lee zeldin handley won the republican nomination for governor of new york tonight, defeating andrew giuliani, the son of former new york city mayor rudy giuliani and two others. zelda and was the favorite endorsed by the republican parts himself as the most experiencedd electable. he campaigned on reducing surging crime, firing alvin bragg, get rid of covid-19 and make new york more affordable via tax cuts. zeldin will face off against governor kathy hochul, who easily won the democratic primary tonight. hochul is looking to galvanize enthusiasm from democratic voters by concentrating o

the second problem of the democratic democratic election strategy for the midterms surrounds guns and the second amendment. as we speak democrats are vilifying law-abiding gun owners . they are after gun manufacturer and the nra. they are bowing to restrict you second amendment rights. this too is a strategy that i predict will fail. don't forget according to the cdc there are up to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year. in other words, they save lives. for example, over the weekend a west virginia woman heroically shot and killed a gunman who is firing into a graduation party at an apartment complex and she is now being credited with saving perhaps 20 or 30 lives. but of course the media mob and the democrats will not talk about or report that incident. if democrats get their way, onl the criminals who don't care about laws will have access to the fire arms and we will all b defenseless. ultimately the fear mongering surrounding guns is little more than a political ploy and we have nothing else to talk about in a midterm election year and all the policies have failed. i guess it's

the question of democratic apathy, i just don't believe it. i think actually there is data, although polling these days, who knows what it all adds up to. i think there is intensity around this issue that we have to capture. we don't have to fully control the senate, we have to get at least two more democratic senators and the house to accomplish this. leigh ann: do you think the democrats, those on the left, or fully -- do they really -- did they really think this day would ever come, and have you all been prepared enough for it? sec. smith: i think that when the draft decision came out and we read what justice alito was planning on saying, i do believe there was a moment of shock at the bleakness of this decision, just write out there. when we all saw the final decision on friday, it is fair to say a lot of people were stunned. it was so blatantly rolling back 50 years of precedent, particularly when -- i never lived it -- but these new justices had promised they would uphold it because they appreciated the value of precedent and all of that

bills, introduced by a house democrat. during that debate, florida republican congressman greg steube, decided that after a string of mass shootings, it would be appropriate to start showing off his own guns, well zooming into a congressional hearing. >> this gun would be banned. >> that is not loaded. >> i love my, house i can do whatever i want with my guns. >> i can do whatever i want with my guns. how should democrats debate reasonable gun safety measures, when that is what the other side of the debate looks like? how do democrats make it clear that republicans are oppositions issue into any limitation on guns in america, is not just wrong, but dangerous. well, here is one example of how it can be done, from democratic congressman eric swalwell. >> 19 kids are dead. 19 children are dead. to my republican colleagues, i ask, who are you here for? are you here for our kids? or, are you here for the killers? because if you were here for the kids, you do all you could to protect the next school shooting that is about to hap

diplomatic but it feels like a punch given his duty to the democratic politics. >> democrats are actuallyloud on the record, this is also a big turn of events in the media to go on the record. remember al davis used to own the oakland raiders and say just win baby, things are going well in the economy and there was a cohesive plan, i don't think there would be as much chatter but they know they're going to get a shellacking come november, the economy is not doing well and they've gotta do something, the guy at the head of the table which is the president of the united states. >> interesting football analogy. >> how concerned is the white house about about the story because anita as senior advisor and they total the times only one person steered in transition past trump's lies in court challenges and insurrection to take on january 20th and over the week of the washington post said obviously joe biden is sending every signal he's going to run again in he's going to declare early next year he wants it. i think that seem to be a reaction to all the tv segments by the time stories. >> absolut

they keep voting democrat. they have been brainwashed, not realizing that trump has shown how bad the media truly is. when he says "fake news," my god, i have never seen the likes of it, never, and it is one-sided, i must say, one-sided, the democrats. but i must state also that with january 6, like the two impeachment trials, a waste of taxpayers money, and instead of doing what is right for the american people, these do-nothing democrats continue with that. you must ask yourself, are you better off when trump was the president? are you better off when biden is now president? you must be rational and think. host: heather out of milwaukee, democrat, good morning. caller: good morning, mr. mcardle. thank you for c-span. i have a quick question. how can one be an originalist regarding the constitution's so electoral process and do this? if they want the process to go through as the constitution is written, why would people try so hard to stop that process from happening? i know there's a lot of unhappy people in

he was of course a democrat. now, of course, we have another democrat in office. again, the gas prices are high. if there is a connection, i wish someone would look into it and see. the, well, i'll just let it go with that. there's been a long time so i called in. i'm getting nervous. i'll just start stumbling and making implements off. >> you did not, good to hear from you. kalamazoo, michigan, louisville, maryland next. next up, elizabeth on the independent line. >> i think biden is doing a terrific job. with inflation, with the economy, with everything in this country. he really is. he's giving money to ukraine. we are now in maryland going to have a free breakfast and school lunch for all the kids going back to summer school. i can't get a job, i am a senior. i've been looking for a job for three years. i can't get a job. i'm trying to get a computer job at home. i can't get one. everyone is going back to work. covid is, people have gotten their vaccines, and their boosters. people are healthy. and back to work. kids are back in school and at home during the v
