she is on the only democratic state lawmaker taking the fight to the republican. ere is missouri state representative ian mckee calling out a republican cruelty. drawing on his own experience growing up gay among conservatives. >> i was afraid of people like you growing up, and i grew up in hickory county missouri. a group in a school district that vote tomorrow to put this in place. and for 18 years i walked around with nice people like you who take me to ball games, who told me how smart i was, and they want to the ballot and voted for crap like this. and i couldn't wait to get all. i couldn't wait to move to a part of our state that would reject this stuff in a minute. i couldn't wait. and thank god i made it. i got i made it out, and i think every day of the kids who are still there who haven't made it out. who haven't escaped from this kind of bigotry. gentlemen, i'm not afraid of you anymore. because you're gonna ruse. you may win this today, but you're gonna lose. >> now, meet the next democrat who's answered the call to fight back. earlier this month, repub

remind, i will remind all those who say that, uh, his contribution as a politician to the democratic formation of the states, and his renunciation of everything connected with nationalism, racism, extremism, and so on. no, thirties, germany democratically with the use of democratic institutions, and formed the political landscape of exactly these very political ones. uh, democratic institutions were involved, so i don’t really like the appeal to zelensky’s nationality when they said that they didn’t. well, how can a person not be. uh, a jew by nationality and at the same time condoning, but an extremist, well, nazi regime. well, this is generally the strongest argument. i don't understand the logic of it, but i mean such an argument and such argumentation. well, it's all here, it's all about the same thing. e, that is, the presence of democratic e, statements or oriented to e-e support for democracy, does not mean at all that, in practice, the state is at least somehow responsible for the corresponding high principles and ideals, exactly like personal characteristics, and a particular person is not at all

states. democratic against ukraine russian aggression, this is our fight. it is not helping some other country somewhere else do their thing, this is about us too. my name is barry pavel. i formally served in the defense department as a senior director for defense policy and strategy for the national security council staff for president bush and president obama. russia's war on ukraine is in another crucial phase. ukraine's victory in the battle of kiva has caused russia to refocus on defeating the army in the east. a military victory there and across ukraine southern coast could really open the way for further russian attacks, not just on ukraine, including kyiv, but also on moldova and our allies, romania or. so, this is a critical issue for us. the united states and our allies. i have to say, the land lease bill will play a critical role. it will show congress support for increased weapons deliveries. it will speed up u.s. government bureaucracy to get ammunition and weapons to ukraine faster. it will send a message to ukrainians that they can count on u

it has stopped with democratic states like california from persecuting people of faith, was arbitrary covid restrictions. none of those things would be true and none of them would be true if liberal democrats had a majority on the court. and this time of the supreme court would have an opportunity to reverse one of its worst decisions ever by ending roe v. wade. and that the end of roe will not just be a monumental victory for human dignity, it will also vindicate decades of hard work to confirm sound jurists who believe the law and the constitution means what they say and will build the case against liberal activists, who have constructed on a foundation of sand with 50 years of made-up pro abortion case law. but of course the democrats are not taking all of that lying down as you may have noticed. they are trying to pack the court, a different kind of judge, and judges rule based on the whims and wishes of far-left activists. i would single out some of their district court and court of appeals nominees. as the worst examples but there are too many to pick from. and that let me focus

more people are almost always going to vote for democratic senators in the united states senate even when they end up with less democratic senators in the senate because the dakotas get four senators. there's populations the size of staten island that get two senators. >> let's drill down to one specific issue. student loans. it would be enormously politically helpful for joe biden if he could get student loan forgiveness. one of the reasons he's underwater is the stuff he ran on. police reform did not pass. this would actually materially help millions of people who are millennials and younger. just a lot of people of color. it would just help him politically. he cannot pass it because joe manchin is going to say no. what do we do about that? >> one thing i'd like to do about it is, i would like to ask the voters who say unless you forgive my student loans or significant portion thereof, i am not going to vote for you, i am going to ask them how that became their single issue in the united states of america and are they willing to let everything else, everything else be handed over t

europe, north america, japan, south korea, and many other countries will understand themselves as democratic states are exactly the ones who have the most advanced technologies at their disposal lives. and of course, the task is always to hit the circle of power around put in and the audi gaggs and i'm grateful for the sanctions to have been extended now, including many of the individuals belonging to the environment are put in we have initiated the 5th package of sanctions, which include in europe, decisions also which have the goal to stump imports of coal. and i'd like to state very clearly at this juncture, that germany has started to win itself from its dependencies from russian energy by looking for other suppliers. and also by investing heavily into the infrastructures that are necessary in order to be able to import a liquefied gas over our coldest lines. we're also going to take legal measures to make sure that these construction works don't get stalled in legal quagmires, but rather would be advanced swiftly. we have responded with a bank of sanctions and hit the audi gags. and we're goin

i just want to understand, turkey has invaded the territory of an independent democratic state.e same time, let me remind you of iraq, the democratization of this wonderful stronghold. the thought was occupied by no one else, but the united states of america and more than one ten. holding elections there, building an army, building new types of economy in the process of liberating iraq from evil tyranny, how many thousand there were destroyed in the first month. several tens of thousands at once, yes, but probably the first seven thousand and a walkie-talkie, and a total of 300,000 to a million peaceful rices were destroyed, but institutions were created. the army was prepared. and then suddenly, it turns out that turkey was leading its troops. let's show and struck at the kursk formations, which are located on the territory of an independent state recognized by the un. at the same time, notice without any permission without the un without any decision by the nato troops or there, what we have there, where are the sanctions, what a nightmare, where is the indignation, where hatr

reference to prevatism, start to research your book when donald trump won the election and sent democrats no a state of disarray. what are your thoughts on how the democratic party is -- well, let's start with the jackson/jefferson thing. these are two figures in the party's history, if you will, who are out of favor. i guess that's not all that surprising. >> no, because more and more historians and americans are realizing how essential slavery is to american history. you can argue about 1619 project, whether they're correct about that or not. but clearly we had the most important event in american history, some would karg, the civil war, which, of course, was about whether a part of the country could break away to preserve slafrpy. so it's not surprising that two presidents who were incredibly popular figures at the time when they were president, when they were alive but also were major slave-owners and defended slavery, in fact jackson's case wanted to expand it into western territories, take from mexico, it's not surprising that present day democrats in this multiracial, multicultural party are

gop ran states emerged much stronger than the democrats states.e to react to this virus but ultimately the democrats simply hid behind the veil of science and the data and abdicated political response ability to scientists like anthony fauci and they seem to be oblivious to the political effects of what was going on. we can have an argument over the science and the data but people got worn down by the school closure, variability and masking policy and it is hurting the democrats. stuart: the inability to go back to school without a mass, to learn again, up to the teachers union, that is my opinion, doesn't to the democrats any good at all. see you again soon. you know what it is? a bit early today, 11:541/2, not quite up to speed at 11:55, the we will give you the question of the day anyway. what was the most popular car color in north america last year? was it silver, black, blue, or white? don't google it, just think about it. correct answer after this. these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep, s

when the pandemic arrived, the democrat state governor, gretchen whitmer, brought in decisive measuresay-home, stay-safe executive order for all michiganders.

so it is not impossible for democrats to have a similar scenario here. it really depends on these handful of states. there are four democratic senators playing defense and some of the most competitive states in the country that biden won very narrowly, and there are three vulnerable republican seats, but two of those are actually open, meaning senators have retired, so those half-dozen sits are were to look -- seats are where to look. host: our guest is with "the new york times." we welcome your calls and comments on the midterm elections. the lines are (202) 748-8001 four republicans, (202) 748-8000 for democrats, and for independents and others, (202) 748-8002. let me ask you about the ohio senate race. jd vance, the hillbilly elegy author, is one of the republican candidates there. jd vance endorsed by president trump this past week. was that a surprise? guest: it was not a surprise that he was going to endorse. he made it clear he was going to eventually endorse. i think the choice would have been surprising no matter who he chose because it was such a close race. it is a crowded primary, which

i think of the how difficult was for democrats to stay united, you know for very long. they stated remained one party, but often different factions in that party who battling with one another mount civil rights because for example in the 1840s and 50s when the democrats with majority party in america, they were the majority party because they could put together the votes of most white southerners both poor white southerners and big planters like jackson and newly arrived iris catholic immigrants who came with nothing with when only nothing but the clothes in their back escaping famine escaping escaping death from hunger the fact that you had this mixture you had both jefferson davis and walt whitman, we're devout democrats in the 1840s, for example, you know, we don't think of them in the same, you know the good gay and great poet and form the future heather confederacy. so the reason it how they get rid of get together was they did agree that where people call the money power the power of big banks the power of wall street was something evil. it was a monopoly of money monopoly, w

to state and compare the difference between republican and democrat leaders. and democrat states families are devastated financially. from mandates and closures. having lost precious time in the classroom, kids have fallen behind. economies have been crippled by regulations and restrictions. law and order has been eliminated by leaders who embrace criminals and embolden them by disrespecting law enforcement and the judicial system. people in those states are losing hope. it's heartbreaking. but now i want you to look at south dakota. because it when i ran for governor, i told south dakota and's that we would be an example to the nation. that because we were a smaller state we could do things faster and more efficiently. as justice brenda said, the states are the laboratory of democracy. our state could be a pilot process for the nation. and that conservative reforms prove that they create more success and opportunity for people. i had no idea that our opportunity to be an example for the nation would come because of a pandemic. and i would wager the very few h

the irish committee of the 19 states, just to name one group, right? >> yeah, that's one thing the democrats were known for in the early days and still are [inaudible] one of the continuities in the party's history. they were [inaudible] . the belief that the united states should be what tom paton called an asylum for all mankind. we are believed that it was important to welcome as many people as possible -- might people -- to the united states, and that included the irish. and there was also the fact that democrats tended to be more tolerant towards different religious groups, madrid to. because there is game, especially during the famine generation, were catholic, of course. and democrats were often seen in the 19th century as the [inaudible] catholic party compared to the work that republicans. >> as you say there were the first not merely to acquiesce in the reality of competition, putting from your book, what it took to win, but they want to double. when the democrats were coming elevens a party, as we want to find today, they weren't really other parties. we have the virginia dynasty a

democrats. michigan states that mallory mcmurry even got a call from president biden who thanked her for saying a lot of what needed to be said. indeed. democrats also took notice this week when congressman jamie raskin called that one of his republican colleagues. this time it was not for calling people pedophiles, it was for georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene calling out nato allies nazis. >> mister speaker, the united states of america witnessed the most astonishing spectacle. we are here to debate, aid to the people of ukraine, defending themselves against a machine invasion by vladimir putin and his army. then the minority puts up the distinguished general lady from georgia who does not mention ukraine once. she does not mention the thousands of ukrainian civilians who have been slaughtered by putin's army. she said that the aid that the taxpayers of america are sending to the people of ukraine to defend themselves against vladimir putin and the russian army falls into the hands of nazis. i want to see her proof. where is her evidence? she talked about nato nazis. does

because, well, it was the arrival of these people and the heads of the defense departments of democratic states. well, it really shows that they support us, but the fact that we can see that now there are already deliveries of weapons and aid to ukraine showed that it was uh. the decision was made, in particular, officially uh because we feel this help, of course, now we are waiting for even more help, in particular, hmm, such howitzers, which we will talk about here in the fields, in particular. this is not enough. i will tell you that every soldier in the trenches is talking about artillery right now long-haul because even well, here we understand directly that how important it will be for us , we are now keeping the defense in the trenches, we are really keeping it because russia prevails in forces and means, in particular here in the southern direction, and we are waiting for that weaponry to be thrown, which will give us the opportunity to first them in those cities where they dug in. and secondly, it is to accumulate forces to carry out counterattacks, because only with these we can squee

use it and the west has already fortunately understood it . in order for russia to become a democratic stateen it will be safe for its neighbors, and it can become democratic only when it is not an empire, empires, well, in a democracy, they cannot exist because the empire is different peoples, different beliefs and they can be obtained only by strength, how incredible is how to change there, i don’t know the chromosomal set of the actual russians there, so that they stop being imperials, but everything can be history can place its accents that way us , the russian federation, boris tiesenhausen seems literally, recently he wrote that in the future , after putin will no longer be in power and this regime will no longer exist, we can um talk about the gradual lifting of sanctions in response to the voluntary demilitarization and nuclear disarmament , what do you think? i thought that this is quite a possible scenario in the event of russia's defeat in ukraine, because russia will not have the military resources to resist the just demands of the victorious countries a and, first of all, ukrain

happened in europe since the time of the third reich, but the third reich has never called a democratic state and europe has not seen anything of this. and what russians are not white racism? it has nothing to do with it, they simply consider us theirs enemies have a reason for this, because only because of us they do not own the whole world, and therefore such an attitude. and the fact that now all other countries are starting to raise. it is too. naturally, understandably. they understand that if we lose now, they will turn. here again, in those same slaves, as they were before, when they were colonies, i think that it will be much worse than what it was before quite right, the technology has worked out new ones. well, they started talking about a changing paradigm, and in fact indeed, it will also change in politics in the economy. just now, a meeting of the president on the development of the oil and gas industry has just ended in novo-ogaryovo, and there were many curious moments, but in my opinion, like the president of evil, the key point is the preparation of the foreign exchange mark

american gas station workers in the democratic states have a new headache . joe biden.at the scoreboard with prices and the signature did it. i am like that stickers are a bestseller on the internet. there are more options with nancy epilotsy, and i helped. in the sense of raising the price of gasoline from camela harris and i just suck twice, in some states the increase in the cost has led to the fact that the top

democracy, because over the long years of putin’s rule, i always advised that he we are building a democratic statek yes you are building, but the point is that you oppose the interests in a very different way in this part . a clear example is the article by defense minister shoigu, which is more precisely an interview with the russian edition of rbc, now in ukrainian russian, which he gave back in september of last year, this is an interview, and there he talks in detail about the fact that there is a serious problem in russia and the fact that a lot of the working population migrates to moscow and the region or to big cities, like st. petersburg, because that is where it is concentrated the capital that processes is very huge. by the way, the capital produced by the russian federation is hundreds of billions of dollars. every year, the gdp is calculated at 1.7 trillion dollars. this is a very large figure, really, for the sake of truth, 8 times the gdp of ukraine, and the territory is, of course, much larger, but the distribution of benefits is very uneven. well, that's exactly how you know the e

world where they can exert their influence including as we have just seen attacking ukraine a democratic statewith a conflict that was completely unprovoked. it is our job as the united states, the leader of the democratic free world to support democracies and we improve our strength as ronald reagan said so that we work to hold the day those authoritarian regimes would try to impose their will on us. i was asked to talk to you about the current state of intelligence. i do want to give you this drive the version of what we are seeing around the world in these threats are becoming even more dangerous for the united states and our allies and it's not just because of their will. they have always had the intention of wanting to do harm to the united states and our allies. it's the increased capability that we are seeing. those increased capabilities mean not only are allies or risk but also the united states is. why is that important? it means that we have strived to make certain that our capabilities can compete with theirs and extent we can behold the midday and we can deter them and the actions
