republicans and democrats have let you down because they let government grow and grow and many republicansy speak -- walk the walk when it comes to action reducing government and taxation in our lives. she's talking a cost-of-living increasing. this is caused by the very inflation we talked about. the reason she's having trouble paying her bill is because we continue to print money out of thin■z air making dollars less d less valuable and that's a hidden task that hits every household. it's something that we seek to fight against. the excess growth of government. we will reduce that tax impact in your life as much as possible. host: i hear that a lot, how do you build on that? >> any time you take money from someone without their consent, without their permission and use it to spend it on something else that is theft. using the force of government. the government has a monopoly on force in doing so they are taking from people and spending on things they don't want to spend. people don't want to spend their tax money on wars around the world. on programs that are redundant and broken bread

(202)-748-8001, democrats -- (202)-748-8000, democrats748-8001, republicans. independents, (202)-748-8002hose learned so far in election 2024 from all of these primary el place? what was your biggest concern ringhe well, a couple of things. one of your earlier callers i to 10 or 15 minutes ago, talked about their heroes. wiie mays just passed away, rof best baseball player to ever play the game, but he played it with citizen, told the truth. need our candidates on both sides of the aisle, democrats and■íe truth about elections and accept the results, even when they lose. losing is not easy, in baseball or politics, but when we run our electis are, when they are touted fair and squarely by our friends and neighbors who live next door to us, federal government does not count those votes. our neighbors in indiana, tennessee, they are trusted people, the faces of our he national security terms, when we spend close to 900 billion of our defense to protect our citizens and support our veterans to make are equipped to protect our country against

the republican party comes into existence and abraham lincoln wins election, a democrat's going to be what a republican was, and a republican is suddenly going to be a republican. you know, it was a realignment. i have the sense that we're going to look back at this period in history and see much of the same. a political realignment in wch it makes sense in retrospect but feels very disorienting in the moment. >> teddy roosevelt's harvard thesis actually called for equal rights for women. you call it, quote, remarkably radical for its time. listen to betty freedan on the original "fire line" discussing the feminine mystique and masculinity of william f. buckley jr. >> see more and more men joining our movement, supporting our movement. they seem to feel that their liberation is entailed after he died ten years younger and why should shea live up to -- they live up to soup machismo. to say they are killing big muscle, hemmingway, would make every man feel inadequate that he has to defend himself. you have ten strikes against him before he begins. this is almost as bad as the ef feminin

democratic president, republican senate, democratic house of representatives, democratic president, republicanrepublican house of representatives, democratic president, democratic senate, republican house, and so on and so on, that is how many options there are 18, if i'm not mistaken, or 24, you have to sit down and count how many different options there can be, and each of the options changes. american politics, but there is a clear option, when the president gets everything, but not for a year and a half, and then the situation changes again, well, then there are 19 options, in general, there are a lot of options, and this also does not give us the opportunity to say exactly what will be american politics, because it is not a monarchy, it is not even emmanuel macron's fifth republic, relatively speaking french, when it is parliamentary elections very it is important, but the president remains a sovereign, uh, the american president is not a sovereign, as we can see, for these, for these six months, the delay with help, if we are talking about the theoretical version of what is being discuss

senate, republican... house of representatives, or no, republican president, democraticouse of representatives, republican senate, and there can be different schedules, and each of these schedules, any of these, it's like a chessboard, you can sit down and play with each position, there are a lot of them, a democratic president, a republican senate, a democratic house of representatives, a democratic president , republican senate, republican house of representatives, democratic president, democratic senate, republican house, and on and on... so how many options is that? it looks like it's 18 if i'm not mistaken, or 24, you have to sit down count how many different options there can be, and each of the options changes american politics, and there is a clean option, when the president gets everything, but not for one and a half years, and then the situation changes again, well, then there are 19 options in total, that's a lot options, and it also doesn't give us the ability to say exactly what american politics will be, because ... it's not a monarchy, it's not even emmanu

because of the number of democrats in the state? republicans are not contesting this one. oving onto washington state. likely democrat. jessica: you have the governor who is retiring. unlike some other states, washington doesn't have term limits. in washington, they have an party primary system. all the candidates will be on the august ballot and the top two candidates regardless of party will advance. the lieutenant governor -- the attorney general is a democratic front runner. there is a more moderate running. but we expect the attorney general to place first. when the rays came open i wrote that no republican had the opportunity. they got an interesting candidate in the case, a former congressman who retired several years ago by the is also really well known there. he was the sheriff that caught the green river killer in washington state. he has a law enforcement background. i was watching forsic files the other day and it comes on about him. he is well-known because of this case. he has more of a moderate profile and has the type of crossover roads but he was defeated f

there is the democratic governors association and the republican governors association.voted to trying to win the races at the state leve and we meet with candidates and with governors when they are in town. we are talking to sources that work in this day and know the sometimes local officials, state officials and people on the ground that work the grassroots in these campaigns. it is a lot of phone calling source work and sometimes we go to the states. north carolina is probably the biggest governor raise this cycle and my best friend lives in raleigh. amy: let's start with delaware. you rate this a solid democrat. jessica: you have an open seat there. it will come down to the democratic primary there. you have a lieutenant governor. and i think that primary will primarily be between the lieutenant governor and matt meyer. there are republicans running but races like this are decided in the primary. the executive plays a big role. wall you might look at the lieutenant governor and say they would normally have an advantage, i think this is going to be a competitive prima

not just with trump voters but with democrats, independents and republicans. ou live in the new york city area, in new jersey, or chicago, you are seeing in the local news, a lot of news about migrants. that's impacting president biden's support against democrat base. it's immigration is a big motivating factor. he needs to make sure that everyone else understands he's done everything that he can do. and the reason there's not a solution is because trump is standing in the way because he wants this as an issue. he does not want to solve it. you should not elect him to solve it. you're always making a broader point beyond immigration, which is, biden can make government work. congress can pass things. this is an issue that is not making progress because of trump. it is hard for president biden to break through on this issue. it's not as if this one event is going to be known by -- that everyone in the country will realize this has happened. that's why you see so many surrogates standing behind him. governor hochul can go to new york and do press about this. now,

let the record show, today the t democrats rejected to a republican lead ivf protection act. crats objected to protecting ivf. this is personal and many people up's personal to many republican senators. i would propose a half dozen of us have a family member, child, or grandchild because of ivf. to me as anybody up here. for some 30 years of my life, i had the opportunity and privilege deliver a baby everyday. we have font opportunities to give aos baby to a new mom and dad and see the smile on their faces and see their lives change forever. notvesha that fortunate. 10 to of americans they struggle to have children. that's why i work so hard to haved an infertility clinic. a place people can come to get help with their infertility treatments. there wereer many things we could d and w help thousands of women and helped them have a baby. if we weren't successful we'd try ivf. i'm proud to have participated in hundreds of cycles. successfulcy■) cycles and deliver many babies from ivf. our country needs to know republicans believe in ivf and we support it. i never heard one senato

our women are voting for democrats than our men moving toward the republican party and democrats' problem is, they don't have a problem on abortiontinas, they know that, they have a problem with economics and economic populism and they are feeding that ground. they are saying the daysdemocrats getting 70% plus of the latino vote and i hear the the consultants campaigns, it doesn't happen, frost right ward shift o yeah, it's not that big it's not that much of a problem it's only 35% and after 2020, 2022 cycle well okay, itut it didn't happen anymore so i guess things aren't all that b these are really big numbers for republican. i've been in this for 30 years folks, 30 years i've never seen a democrat heading into a like this losing 45% of the latino vote ever because no one has ever seen it and what i'm saying is if you're going to see that vote and only talk about abortion about it and focus on that universe. i just don't think they economic message that's what i'm convinced of. the only way we can wins through cultural issues which i again i don't think it's a terrible bad strategy, i j

california is the atm of american politics and that works for both democrats and republicans, but donald trump is doing something a little different. what he's doing is raising money all over. he's going into the belly of the democratic beast that would be california. he's going to go down and talk to those libertarians and silicon valley raise a lot of money because they're interested in less government regulation they're interested in crypto. they're interested in somebody who does something different and as a business person that is going to challenge the biden people moving forward and therefore so far. we haven't seen much. movement in terms of polling, but where we have seen movement is the number of republicans who believe that that he received a fair trial. and versus the number of democrats that received the day believe he received them unfair trial. that number is important only on the margins combined with this money, which means we have a heck of a race moving forward the next 180. days. palestinian protest. vice president kamala harris helped fundraising events in san franci

democrats mentioned immigration. independents fell roughly in the middle at 25%. republicansentioned the issue has come down from february when a record high 57% named it. democrats -- fewer democrats now than it 2019 when 20% mentioned it. is at a new high. specifically similar readings were recorded in 2019 and recent months. michael in four oaks, north carolina. republican. caller: good morning. host: what has been going on, michael? caller: the presidential elnow we are talking about immigration again. that is what is going on. i think abortion will be the top issue again in the election. i know that is not the topic. you should consider that the topic soon the summer. maybe abortion. immigration -- host: how did you react when you heard about the president's actions at the border? caller: i don't have problems with that and i'm a staunch republican. staunch republican. like i said, something has to be done. let's try not to get so. we begged him to do something heavenly -- something heavenly? -- haven't we? we had grandstanding by the republican senators. ere very upset,

that is 80% of all americans democrats, republicans, and independents. and take a closer look at those nearly two out of three voters who pulled t lever for donald trump in raising taxes on the rich. if hardball on taxing billill be with us. raising taxes the rich for the programs makes thoseprograms even more popular. for example, big investments like childcarepular. but when childcare is paired with a plan to pay for it by raising taxes on wealthy and on large corporations, it bescome popular up four percentage points overall and up seven points with independents and six points with republicans. in other words, when we talk about taxes to pay for the programs we want, we built broader scynical about democratic -- at a time when people have grown cynical about democratic promises, showing will willingness to tax billionaires and corporations strengthens our great ability. a two cent wealth tax would pay for universal childcare cancel qfall student loan debt, make technical school, two-yfour-year colleges free, create a $5 billion investment in historica

but this year, 2024, it's almost a three-way split there you can see with democrats, republicans and ing among these double haters. so congresswoman edwards, what kind of power could this group have in november, these double haters? >> well, i think substantial and i mean one of the things that stood out to me in this analysis is that 67% of these double haters really don't like the donald trump felony convictions, and so that actually provides a real opportunity, i think, for the biden campaign. but the truth is that you can already see these -- both candidates jockeys for this group. they are incredibly persuadable, which is unusual in a year where biden's team in particular has to work on persuading what used to be kind of a democratic base. >> congressman curbelo, do you agree that these double haters are persuadable? >> well, i think that the double haters will take their cues from the candidates as we get closer and closer to the election, and if one of the two candidates has another major scandal, a major gaffe, an embarrassing moment, that could tilt these. ana, i think the ot

we are spending time working with members of both sides of the aisle, democrats and republicans, butknow that if we can work together in this moment, we are going to get something really important for the american economy done. >> well, congress would still need to sign off on that, and president biden has pledged, as you just mentioned, to use federal dollars to rebuild. but we are getting very close to an election. do you believe that you will get that support and those funds appropriated before we see a possible change in administration? >> i've been incredibly encouraged by the amount of support we've received from both democrats and republicans. i do feel confident we are going to get this done. >> i want to ask you about another tragic death in your state. a maryland mom named rachel morin was killed last august. yesterday a suspect in her killing was arrested out in oklahoma. he's a 23-year-old from el salvador and hartford county sheriff said he had ties to a criminal gang and he had murdered another woman in el salvador. take a listen. >> 1600 pennsylvania avenue and to ever
