democrat. good morning. caller:. -- caller: from san antonio to el paso, that has been competitive for 20 years. i know a republican was elected, and solace? is he -- gonzales? who are the democrats putting up? guest: we have yet to see. we are waiting to see what republicans do with the districts in texas. it's one of the four key states we are watching where republicans are in charge and we will see what that district ends up looking like. i expect it to be competitive. it has been one of the most competitive districts for 10 years running now, but we have to wait and see what the field looks like. also, the factor with hispanic voters, was it something specifically trump was able to do, or can republicans to it? or, can democrats gain ground back there lost in 2020? host: this is kathleen, independent. caller: the reason i am calling is i heard that gentlemen say how republicans and democrats, everybody is subhuman. that is true. one suggestion, i watch cnn and fox and i read papers and outlook all over t

of the democratic ticket between a war pro-war democrat and an anti-war democrat. so here you have mcclellan as two-faced and you know one side of his face. he's talking about pro war the other side. he's sounding peace and he's standing on a very rickety platform. and if you look at the platform we've talked about this before when we talked about benedict arnold a very long time ago. the devil is a very strong image in when you look at cartoons about trees and so the devil and jefferson davis and clement the landingham and another new york democrat are holding up the democratic platform here. the republicans are going to depict the democrats as weak a weak. peace horse pulling the chicago platform. here you have a lot of devils again treason and devils are very prominent in this election campaign. so you've got mcclellan who's bowing down before jefferson davis. he's being ridden on his back by a devil. there are devils throughout the the sky here. you can see an angel being driven away at the top, right? and on the top left here the different devils and symbols t

republicans are growing more district than democrats are. they are in control of more states and thus control of more district so they could gain seats just from the redistricting processing alone, so again five seats and 30 plus a few and republicans have a lot of room for error. and i think that is why the normally confident but they are going to win the majority in 2022 but also impacts legislation over the next year and half because i don't think they feel thek need to really compromise are given a lot because they can smell the majority. like you just hold the line, we would have more power here before too long. >> you mentioned an average of 30 seat loss in the mature. when was the last time a president's party didid well the midterm and what was the reason why. >> sot: yes, the last two recent instances of the present didn't lose, 1998 and also 2,022,002 president george w. bush, there was redistricting butut there ws still a rally around the flag effect from september 11th. and so that help the republicans and best the midterm trend

we have paul from the democrats line. caller: good morning. the democrats are not destroying the american dream for people, and when i see a tax cut that rewards, the 1%. 83% of the benefits and i see these billionaires and major corporations evading taxes because of high-priced lawyers and accountants, that's whose

morning, kansas city, democratic line. caller: hi, my question is that if we see this on tv and we see how they are attacked, attacked the capital, breaking windows, going into the office, what is it that needs to be investigated? it happened. we saw it. the police came on to tell their stories. i just want to understand what is the commission for? host: thanks for the call. more of your calls, teresa, good morning to you. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning. what i'm wondering, we all saw how they cheated on the democrats, kicked out people that were republican observers in elections and things like this. they, they keep telling us that we didn't see it. this causes a lot of pain for people. that's what causes all the mistrust of the government. that's what causes things like that. as far as january 6, the only people with weapons were the police and the capital. those people that came to the capital, there wasn't even one done. the only murder that was committed was by the police of the unarmed veteran lady

we have a liberal democrat. the president is going to try to take everything that this president did and do away with it. so what i would normally say in a normal circumstance is that don't worry about it, because history is on our side of the party who wins the white house, loses in congress. and this -- so that's gonna happen again. forbes the card that i gave youen the down20th, these are the top successes that we had. what would we normally say in a normal circumstance? don't you guys worry about this. everything is going to be fine. 2022, everything will be coming back and we need to be focused on how united the candidates should be. we should be talking about in the senate georgia, arizona, new hampshire, nevada, we will flip the seats, take back the house and senate. everything is going to be rosy. that's what we normally would say. however, that's not the case right now because while history would be on our side, that's not the way we're looking at now and we can't afford to do that. in the last 21 midte

and democratic governors. and we haven't gotten it done yet. it's extremely frustrating. this quagmire, this poe larizatn is very frustrating here in main street usa. it's just very upsetting. >> so true with infrastructure. both parties say they want to do something about it but no one ever does. this plan joe biden talks about includes a lot of infrastructure. it pushes the total spending to $6 trillion. republicans historically were proud of owning the title of fiscal conservative. balance the budget, don't spend more than you take in. that's been completely thrown out the window. we saw that in the trump years, a spending surge. everybody just spends. does this level of spending at this point bother you, and if not, why? >> erin, again, i'm going to answer the question as mayor of the city of lake charles. what bothers me is the fact that we haven't had a new bridge built that we needed for 30 years. again, we have had republican and democratic presidents and republican and democratic governors. you know,

we have paul from the democrats line. caller: good morning. the democrats are not destroying the american dream for people, and when i see a tax cut that rewards, the 1%. 83% of the benefits and i see these billionaires and major corporations evading taxes because of high-priced lawyers and accountants, that's whose storing the american dream. -- that's who is destroying the american dream. host: next is sarah from california. caller: i am an independent. i quit the republican party. this rhetoric is ridiculous. washout blackburn, they have destroyed so much of the white community -- marsha blackburn, they have destroyed so much of the white community by taking money from the pharmaceutical companies and dumping it on the white people, kaiser permanente said there is more white deaths and a large part is because of the opioid epidemics and suicides that come with it. the government is going to favor a certain segment of the population. it has been favoring -- the republicans have been favoring the rich so much that it is going to have to balan

there are some democrats who feel the same way. there district has defense interests and that is something that she really believes in, that the pentagon needs an adequate funding. you have democrats who are also saying that even the numbers proposed are too high. essentially they believe that the pentagon is bloated, it needs to undergo major financial audit, it could substantially tolerate billions of dollars less. it would be interesting to see how democrats take this budget and ultimately decide to fulfill that. i spoke to chairman john yarmuth the other day, he told reporters he didn't think it was going to be possible for democrats to pass a budget in the house because of the defense number. it is difficult. in lieu of that, they may have to do something with the numbers , rather than vote on the budget they may just have to set overall funding levels and avoid this messy roll call vote in the house where everybody has to go on the record about defense funding. caitlin emma from politico, i want to share with you this headlin

memphis, tennessee, democrat.aller: what is partisanship -- [indiscernible] -- under the v.a. -- i want to say, [indiscernible] -- host: bring us to the topic at hand. caller: the topic at hand is real. you have the commission not willing to tell the truth on the 9/11 commission. [indiscernible] -- we have to go to war after the first plane -- [indiscernible] host: lucy, florida, independent. caller: good morning. i would like to raise an alarm on the fact i think part of the problem we are dealing with here with cybersecurity, the reason i say that is because following the january 6 insurrection, when i went to report some activity online that looked to be some planning about it, i was immediately affected by a virus. i cannot seem to get out of this virus. i have no idea how they are doing it. host: who did you try to report activity to? caller:caller: i believe to the. she was from the -- the minute i received an email bomb, and it was something similar to what she posted online, so i'm guessing she somehow thr

he is stymieing democratic fruits -- democratic efforts because he is a tactician. he will be interesting to see how the voters respond to these tactics and whether or not they are willing to give the republicans the majority in 2022. history suggests that they will. david shore, the democratic data analyst, shows that people in power tend to lose five points from their first quarter polling, which would suggest the would get 48% in the midterms. i think both leaders know that and know that if they can stymie the democrats for the next 18 months they are likely to be in charge of congress in january 2023. host: greg is calling from springfield, missouri. good morning. caller: something your guest said changed my question a little bit. i was going to ask about the -- whether or not the democrat's refusal would embolden the radical wing, but he repeated the republican talking point about election integrity. we just had the cleanest, most fair election in our history. this is unanimous. 50 secretaries of state, the federal department of justice, and over 60 courts have

we beat 15 democrats in every single democrat lost to a republican woman or republican minority.ber, when president trump won the presidency last time he did it by bringing democrats, others joining and for those who criticized the president, the romney's and the others, remember, he won the states of michigan, wisconsin in places that republicans were 20 before sense back to ronald reagan. he listened to those who would not be able to be listened to and the unheard american. not the one who goes to the academy award or believes in the country club but he listens to the average american who works hard and wants a better life for their child and who does not look at the color of the skin or judge people on their sexuality or others but firmly believes that america was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that we are all equal. that is what the first republican president said. steve: it seems to me that you put it so well and it's positive and this is right and why they are so frightened of it and you have this narrative that they are so desperate to push is these

i'm a democrat from manhattan.opefully it is not because it speaks of biden and wisconsin as a bulwark, pun definitely intended. biden visited wisconsin in about march, i believe, and in the absence of any polling, like narrative polling, what is your sense on the ground and with -- wisconsin about how his townhall was received, and how is he being perceived in the state of wisconsin? host: thank you, david. charlie sykes. guest: i cannot tell you at the moment how he's being perceived on the ground in wisconsin or anywhere else around the country. his approval ratings are relatively robust. there are not many who wish they voted for donald trump or which she was not the president right now for them if biden 60's and is able to keep his popularity up, he will do well in wisconsin. if the economy turns south or if there are other controversies or perception of the democrats have radically overreached, he will be hurt in wisconsin. but we are a very polarized state, and i'm not sure things like town halls or the pass

a democratic hour, democratic senate and democratic white house and democrats are having trouble gettingus on the voters. you're right. voters are not interested in words like filibuster and budget reconciliation. and whether you are a democrat or republican, voters want results. and for the democrats who delivered a majority in the senate, who delivered a democratic president and vice president, they are wanting those people to deliver for them. they are saying we won. when do you start winning for us. when do we win in terms of governing. obviously, the pandemic relief package was something that democrats have been able to go back to their constituents and say this is what we're delivering for you. some republicans are also saying, you know, claiming some of the rewards of the american rescue plan that they didn't vote for. but, you know, democrats are now wondering, what else are we going to get for as hard as we worked to deliver a lot of these hard-won victories. maricopa county in arizona where, you know, this audit is happening. 45,000 votes. that was the margin in maricopa county

whether it is the democrat party and the confederacy, or whether it is democrat party and segregationr it is the democrat party and jim crow joe biden knows a lot because he participated in it actively -- and whether it is the democrat party today that literally wants to take police protection away from black people in communities when we see surveys that show over 80% of black people in black majority communities want their police there. and a significant percentage of them want more police there because they know exactly what's going on the streets. and they know that black lives matter when they're in trouble, is not there to help i'm they know that antifa is shipping in revolutionaries marxist in their communities to burn them down and they know that the media do not represent them. we'll be right back. i had saved up some money and then found the home of my dreams. but, my home of my dreams needed some work. sofi was the first lender that even offered a personal loan, and i didn't even know that was an option. the personal loan let us renovate our single family house into a multi

democrats screwed this up royally. a few weeks ago it was clear that democrats were going to start caving on the pandemic control they clung to so passionately. on masks when the cdc announced vaccinated people could drop them the far left church of covid went into total revolt mode. aoc proclaimed her dismay by saying she would keep wearing masks regardless of the fact that she was already vaccinated. chicago mayor lori lightfoot who defied her own lockdown orders to get hair done in early days of the pandemic said the same. basically the democrats have bungled the mask issue, looks like total goofballs from day one. for the one hundredth time stated on the ingraham angle there is no evidence that cloth face coverings are effective in stopping the spread of the respiratory virus. the cdc absent website has the study posted on the ineffectiveness of masks against the influenza virus, talks about 30 ago. even washington post had to admit that masks did not work to slow the 1918 spanish flu epidemic either. as usual the

it's insatiable for these democrats. yet, i don't understand why they think that is going to resonate long term. >> well, and also, i think the more alarming thing about all the numbers that came out today was to look at the dial reach historic highs. it was up 230 points today, and the reason for that, the reason for that excitement on wall street, i think it's probably the same reason you hear a lot of the excitement among democrats, is because they don't care if americans go back to work, because what they are doing is there looking at the southern border and they are seeing thousands and thousands of people come across the border. they look at that and they see cheap labor. they don't care if americans go back to work. that's not their interest. they would rather pay americans to stay home and get cheap labor across the border, and you raise a really interesting point. why does the government, of course, the government is borrowing money to make these payments to people, but why does the government pay people more th

you wroteid on friday representd sicily any democrat of rhode island on friday began asking democratic colleagues to sign on to a resolution to censure the house republicans who tried this week to minimize the severity of the generous six insurrection. in a letter to bell house democrats representative says illini saint the resolution will be forthcoming and specifically centura public and representative andrew clyde of georgia, jody heise georgia and paul of arizona for the remarks at a house oversight and reform committee hearing on wednesday downplaying and making false claims about the violent attacks on the u.s. capital. explain. >> congressman sissel amy says he's introducing this forthcoming resolutioninng and t will likely expect that a lot of democrats will sign on to this but democrats have previously introduced resolutions earlier this year right after january 62 censure congressman mel brooks for making false claimse of election fraud ahead of january 6. so, those resolutions have not gone anywhere because they have been wary of going as far as and very few members have eve

joining me now, senator bob casey of pennsylvania, a democrat. senator, you tweeted yesterday that your republican colleagues' rejection of the january 6th commission was about not offending donald trump, adding that it was, quote, an insult to the country, our democracy, and national security. now, i'm sure there are republicans in congress you consider patriots, friends, but i have to ask you, how can lawmakers call themselves patriots after voting not to investigate the desecration of the u.s. capitol, literally the symbol of our democracy? >> reverend al, it's great to be with you. i don't think there's a way that you can say -- that you believe in the rule of law and you believe in our democracy to the extent that the american people expect you if you're not willing to support an effort to get to the bottom of what happened on january 6th. and i think what you see in washington and throughout the house, republican caucus, with few exception is a genuflection. >> this week your gop colleagues made a counteroffer to the president's infrastruct

it was not democrats that stormed the capitol. it was not democratic-leaning activists. donald trump was responsible for january 6th. he laid the predicate for the big lie. his organization issued the invitation to come and spoke at the rally and said go to the capitol with strength, not with weakness. i will tell you i think the politics on the republican side are just getting warmed up. they want this to be a democratic-led special committee in the congress because i wouldn't be surprised if they refuse to testify. even though the committee will have subpoena power, now that it's a house committee, if kevin mccarthy is called to testify, he will invoke privileges to not be subpoenaed by a committee. who knows how that turns out. what we know from the don mcgahn testimony is this could be litigated for years. this is all about the politics of 2022. republicans are gambling that the americans will careless about them filibustering an independent commission than what they would care about learning from an independent commission. i expect republicans to continue to foresta

then they took over the democratic party and made the democratic party their autonomous zone.sure that america is an autonomous zone for freedom and liberty and success and prosperity and we will not apologize for it one minute. to my friend, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, we know georgia needs you. there's a lot going on in georgia. but you should consider florida your second home. you would make a great florida woman. [cheers and applause] you know why they go after marjorie the way they do. she is an unbought congresswoman. unbossed. unbought. unbowed. that is the mantra of america first. we will not cave. we will not cave to the foreign interests abroad or the special interests here at home. we will put our people first and we will not make exception for that. and so, if you believe that america is a wonderful country, not an intractably racist country. if you believe that maga is patriotic, not deplorable. if you standifer flag and kneel in prayer, if you want to build america up and not tear her down, then welcome, my fellow patriots, this is the movement for you.

this is a blessing for the democrats. you will recall this also happened with the covid relief plan, right? back before that passed, senator mitch mcconnell promised publicly no matter what was. in bill, democrats got that message. they didn't bother letting republicans waste time. water it down. democrats with that promise in hand from mitch mcconnell, they decided to pass the bill basically intact and quickly without letting republicans bog them down since they were all going to be no votes no matter what. now that mcconnell has made the same promise on infrastructure and the families act, democrats are free to do the same. if there are no republican votes by guarantee in advance from fumble leader, then okay. negotiations by definition will be among democrats themselves only. which can frankly be hairy enough but it does mean they can ignore republicans entirely and move quickly. so we'll see how this translates in days ahead in the administration and in congress. but the lack of any reality-based critique from the rep

that would be really big for democrats.te, they need ten in order for this to advance, which right now is looking really unlikely, so democrats, right now, they don't want to say that this commission isn't going to happen but they do have this back-up plan. they can pursue what's called a select committee, if you think back to 2014, 2013, this is the benghazi investigation. so they don't -- this is not the ideal option. this is a far more political option. they will have subpoena power so they can bring in big players, perhaps minority leader kevin mccarthy, but this is something republicans will be very -- they'll be very quick to weaponize. they'll say democrats are trying to make a partisan show out of this january 6th insurrection, but right now, you know, the bipartisan option is what democrats would really like to see, because this is, you know, this is what happened on january 6th was just so horrific, they say, how can republicans not want to know what happened and try to prevent it from happening again. >> indeed,

, it is a two-step democratic ross says. -- democratic process. it's not unusual at all when you look at successful, major democratic countries around the world. >> do you want to comment about that, senator? sen. inhofe: i defer to him. he is right. >> senator, one of the themes of what you have really talked about in the electoral college, it would seem to me would also apply to the filibuster. now, you have been in the senate where you've been part of the majority, you've been in the senate when you've been part of the minority. and how important is preservation of the filibuster again to prevent the tyranny of the majority? sen. inhofe: the reason you're asking that is there are so many that are trying to make that case, right now. the democrats would like to do away with it. the filibuster is there to make sure that everyone is in the room, everyone is participating in this thing. if they're able to do this, then they are players. it is pretty shortsighted with democrats right now, because, since they are majority and they think they will alw

having this extremes working at the intersection of democratic politics and the tech industry. host: does congress understand the tech industry? do they know enough? guest: sometimes i think they get a bad rap. the way i like to think of it is, the tech industry is often about the future. it is future oriented. politics is a lot about the present. the valves and concerns people have in the present. i'm not keen on bashing congress. i do think that any future technology has to answer a lot of concerns about what is the impact going to be on people, communities, the environment, and those are understandable questions. i think there are also a lot of concerns about the power of the tech industry. tech is a powerful industry. some people want to dissolve that power. i think many other people want to channel that power to achieve prosocial ends. host: you put up the results of a pull on your website, progress chamber, saying that democrats trust and appreciate tech a lot more than republicans. why is that? guest: in some ways you've seen over the last couple of years president trump

voices a growing chorus of progressive voices in the democratic party in the u.s. that have been drawing parallels between the plight of the palestinians and the injustices faced by black americans you know previous generations of democrats they did not do that this was not something that was discussed openly how big a shift is this in the dynamic of the conversation even amongst the political elites or the progressives in the party. i think there really there is a major shift i think the the 2 campaigns of senator bernie sanders how to really provide in a sense cover for democrats for is even for progressive jewish democrats to really make their voices heard in terms of this kind of what israel is doing to the to both its arab citizens which is really important and i think shocking for american many american jews last night and this morning to see these images of how arab citizens in israel are being attacked how their shops are being destroyed how they're being lynched in the streets and even though certainly there is a lot of violence being perpetrated as well a

they are part of the democrat party, a right arm of the democrat party. that's all twitter and facebook is. host: jerry in west virginia, some political fallout from the january 6 attack likely for the conference chair for republicans liz cheney. steve scalise is backing elise stefanik's bid for house republican conference chair. she's campaigning in advance of liz cheney's ouster. this is a major development in the house republican leadership. from manu, stefanik's efforts to coalesce g.o.p. support behind the scenes has been bolstered. republican sources say, by mccarthy himself. the leader of the -- minority leader who has made it clear to members she would be a strong fit for the role. that likely change is set to happen possibly in a conference meeting next week. the house is not in session this week. out on their district work period. we hear from larry in california. democrats line. caller: good morning. no, he should not be reinstated until he says joe biden won fair and square. that january 6 attack, all that did was help russia make us look bad.

is democrats' command.crats gave schools billions of additional dollars to respond to covid without actually requiring schools to follow the science and reopen. and so, yes, many parents are struggling with returning to work because their kids are still not fully back to in-person learning. it's too bad that democrats were more committed to satisfying the teachers unions than getting kids back to the classroom. mr. president, before democrats passed their covid bill, there were concerns that the size of it could end up overstimulating the economy and thus driving up inflation. even some liberal economists sounded the alarm over the size of democrats' coronavirus legislation. but again, democrats were not about to listen to any calls to reduce the size of their massive spending bill. and while the full results of democrats' spending spree have yet to be seen, there are already signs that inflation may be coming a problem. consumers are seeing increases in some cases steep increases in the price of everything

but that's where the democrats are. most americans don't want to pay taxes for schools that teach them to hate their own nation. that's repulsive. and some red states come by the way, like idaho and oklahoma, they have banned it. and the good news, the parent led movement against the racial and cultural conflict is building, and the angle will help them as much as possible by exposing the true agenda of the race baiters. power and money. that's what they are after. border madness. let's go on to that. that is number five. we learned today that 531,533 migrants have been apprehended at our southern border between january and april. those are just the people that we have can't. and this is totally a crisis of biden's own making. think about this. if this pace keeps up, by the end of this year, biden's first year in office, 2 million illegals will have been given full access to our country. free health care, free education, food stamps, even housing. and more than any other issue, this one represents the worst dereliction

democrats held a majority. should we discount the possibility that the next time around such an effort could be successful? right? if republicans win back the house in 2022 and they were willing to do that, make that vote, if two thirds of house republicans were willing to make that vote on a night of insurrection based on false claims, are we setting up for the possibility of 2024 that you could see them do that with the majority and refuse to see, refuse to seat those electors? >> i strongly don't believe that will happen. look, i think there are many in the republican party who for some reason wanted to question the integrity of the election and still for some crazy reason believe that donald trump still won the election, but that's not the case. we have free and fair elections. president biden won. donald trump lost. and look, i think it's important for people to realize that these elections are run by well-meaning, good-hearted people, on the local level. i served as deputy secretary of state, these people

democrat. good morning.aller: i have basically a wish list. to begin with, police work is so toxic. the occupational hazard of police becoming jaded is a real problem. i would suggest first to change our system to have a public service draft of people to be in the police department thereby keeping them somewhat fresh. you could have a combination of permanent and temporary. put term limits on that. consolidation of police forces state-by-state. having all these really small departments makes -- for a little fiefdom. you just have continuity across the line. and higher pay. you pay them like professionals, they act like professionals. host: can i ask you a couple questions about that? on term limits, have you heard the idea? how long do you think a police officer should serve? caller: well, myself, i served in the military. i got drafted, but i did three years and that gave me a taste of what the military is about. i contributed, got a metal and everything -- got a medal and everything, but it can vary. there

democrats can move on now.iven that they have that guaranteed from republicans they can move on, knowing that they only need to negotiate now amongst themselves, which is no small thing. they still need to negotiate amongst themselves, the democrats are a diverse group in the senate. but they know, was zero support from the republicans votes, they have to negotiate a bill from themself that can get all 50 democratic votes in the senate. then they have got to pass it under the senate rules that allow you to prove -- approve a bill with only 50 democratic votes. in the senate, then they have to pass it under the senate rules that allow you to approve a bill with just 50 democratic votes. it has to fit the senate rules about what kind of legislation you could pass by those means. very clarifying. there is no ambiguity here as to what's going to happen. or what time should be wasted any further. that was last night. i do believe that's a big deal and it deserves more attention then the bell wave press. democrats ar

israel has long been losing support from progressive democrats, and now the progressive democrats arer, this is a problem for israel, and you have a real split in elite opinion, deeply questioning the amount and type of usaid given to israel, and the amount and type of u.s. support given to the united nations and other international bodies. >> the israeli army has said it will be presenting a plan to political leadership for a potential ground operation. do you expect that there will be a ground operation on offensive in gaza playing out in the days to come? >> i said seven years ago that -- and every time we enter a cycle with hamas, you have to look at all options, but we know the price of that decision. our main goal is to protect our citizens. today, we have a strong military, and i do not think that we are considerate right now, but the operation will continue in the attacks, it will continue. let me say that, we are trying to minimize civilian casualties, and hamas is doing the exact opposite. we are dealing with a terrorist organization, and it will continue to fight the way we

that's the democrats are very good at. a lot of these regulatory debates we want to make sure the tech industry operates responsibly and most importantly that tech is working for people and helping people as opposed to people working for technology. i also think it's appropriate that the administration has a pretty disciplined focus this year on economic policies that are going to help people recover from the pandemic. >> host: we have time for two final questions. here's the first one. what about added taxes on tech transactions and on tech in general? >> guest: we've seen this in maryland earlier this year they pass the digital advertising tax that singled out digital. that's probably an violation of existing federal law. there is a pending lawsuit against that. you see this in europe. they singled out the digital sector for taxation. this is something the biden administration has tried to call their bluff on. there's clearly a need for more sensible taxation. we have supported increasing the corporate tax rate but to si

[cheering and applause] and so, why did democrats, why did democrats need this?ou look at the major cities controlled by democrats, san francisco, la, chicago, new york, detroit they are in ruin. what they have to do is they have to have a political refill of a new population because they have failed the voters who have trusted them the most, oftentimes or generations. i guess you need new blood when the old blood is toxic with pollutants, spilling in the streets in violence, pulsing with addiction. on the right we got w establishment republicans who are just all too willing to be shields for big corporations. we've got too many big corporations that are just fine with illegal immigration and they sort of diminish their risk by using employed leasing companies and as a basis for keeping wages down for the american people or legal immigrants who have come according to our profits. it is about money and it's about power and we have to stand against it but if we want our politics and our policiesur to t better and if we want our trade deals to get better and if we w

. >> are democrats ready to go it alonetransportation secretary pete buttigieg and democratic senator kirsten gillibrand join me to discuss in moments. >>> plus, attack on democracy. for republicans this week politics trumped investigating the deadly u.s. capitol attack. will democrats pursue their own investigation? house democratic chairman has teem jeffries joins me ahead. >>> hello. i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is giving our thanks and thinking about those who made the ultimate sacrifice on this. mmd w memorial day weekend. ahead of memorial day tomorrow we honor fallen members and family and friends who feels really quite different than last year when the general public was not even allowed to visit arlington cemetery because of the pandemic. businesses are opening up, restrictions lifted. more and more vaccinated americans trying to squeeze in the jean shorts that fit last year, and washington, panic over the spread of covid-19 is subsiding but congress was seized by a different controversy, a different pandemic, as senate republicans followed their

morning, kansas city, democratic line.i, my question is that if we see this on tv and we see how they are attacked, attacked the capital, breaking windows, going into the office, what is it that needs to be investigated? it happened. we saw it. the police came on to tell their stories. i just want to understand what is the commission for? host: thanks for the call. more of your calls, teresa, good morning to you. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning. what i'm wondering, we all saw how they cheated on the democrats, kicked out people that were republican observers in elections and things like this. they, they keep telling us that we didn't see it. this causes a lot of pain for people. that's what causes all the mistrust of the government. that's what causes things like that. as far as january 6, the only people with weapons were the police and the capital. those people that came to the capital, there wasn't even one done. the only murder that was committed was by the police of the unarmed veteran lady. that's t
