dowd, i heard, video saying people saying hang mike pence. i looked at wooden frames with nooses hanging. do you really think mike pence has that up and stood up, say, this was wrong with happen to me? because i don't feel like i've heard it. >> i mean, i've criticized mike pence over a number of things, and how much he's just acquiesce that trump over the last five or six years. i think in this instance, he did stand strong. you have to give him credit. he stood strong as the committee laid out, he stood strong on an immense pressure of the president of the united states. and a number of other republicans that, mike pence wants to be friends. with that he has any political future. mike pence in that moment, you can criticize him for a lot of other things. in that moment he such strong, amidst of that. i do think, and i, listen, i'm with carlos, i look for every late ray of light, that there is rationality in the republican party, and that it'll return to a rational political party. that actually isn't true conservative principles and the con

still with us, matthew dowd and leigh mcgowan.att, let's look at this, because this rate hike is likely going to cause more pain before we see relief on inflation. and let's be honest, biden's letter on oil, that's not going to do anything. how much trouble does this put biden in? >> i think biden was already in problematic territory. because his approval numbers are at 40 or 42%, which is always a difficult spot, not only for a midterm. but if they don't improve for a reelection campaign, it hurts the democrats in this. that's why you and i have had this conversation before. that's why democrats -- >> in order to win races, they have to argue about things and areas that you might benefit on, not ones that you are at detriment on. right now, republicans have inflation and gas prices and the state of how people view the economy today as a benefit. and that's why democrats, in my view, going back to the previous segment -- yes, you need to answer the questions on the economy. but they need to basically make this race about what peop

, "new york times" domestic correspondent is here, also joining us msnbc political analyst matthew dowdt of brilliant corner's research. i start with you, nick, and i want you to take me through this piece of reporting because it hues so completely to the data, the number and the statistics, and the results are painting this picture you've been covering really since the earliest months after the 2020 election that it's not just the conduct and the lies of republican elected officials, it's a hunger among the republican base to have those people ascend. >> yeah, and we're seeing them, you know, be nominated up and down the ballot in these republican primaries. what last night showed us is that georgia might be an out leader, seeing governor kemp and raffensperger fend off challenges. we've now seen in new mexico there was a secretary of state candidate audrey trujillo, she was running unopposed and she is part of the america first slate of secretary of state candidates who dispute the election, doug mastriano in pennsylvania gets the republican nomination for governor. he was in d.c. on

with us tonight, msnbc political contributor matthew dowd, former george w. bush strategist and founder of "country over party" and former republican congressman carlos cavello a member of the republican conference for the first two years of the trump presidency. matt, what does this do to the power and brand of trump moving forward, pushing the big lie, looking to run again, when we have all of this footage of the inner circle saying he was full of it. >> i think america has become bigger than donald trump and i think obviously people need to be held accountable and that's a step in that, and in order to get there, you have to have truth and accountability and then you can get to a point where we all want where the country can reconcile and we can get past this, you know, nonmilitarized civil war that we're in right now at this point, so what happened at the capitol in my view is as bad as anything in our country has had since the civil war, since the opening shot was civil war. i think this virus, or this cancer has festered in the republican party, so now,

i want to play some more of matthew mcconaughey for you, matt dowd. this is him speaking in language that i'm very familiar with you speaking in about our values. >> we need to restore our family values. we need to restore our american values, and we need responsible gun ownership. responsible gun ownership. we need background checks. we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-15 rifle to 21. we need a waiting period for those rifles. we need red flag laws and consequence for those who abuse them. these are reasonable, practical, tactical regulations to our nations, states, communities, schools, and homes. responsible gun owners are fed up with the second amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. these regulations are not a step back. they're a step forward for a civil society and the second amendment. >> matthew, i know you have implored democrats and anyone on the side of gun safety in america to reframe it in this way, but i wonder what you think of this conversation shifting to the best way to protect gun rights is

and msnbc political contributor, matthew dowd, also a former george w.s strategist and founder of country over party. jonathan, walk me through this. it sounds like a member of congress is saying, hey, president trump, did this bad thing maybe to help you and i might need a pardon for it. that sounds pretty bad, no? >> yes, that is very bad, also because -- well, one, i think congressman swalwell had the best tweet earlier this evening, where he said, remember, something like, who doesn't ask for a pardon? innocent people. another key point is, if you ask for a pardon, that is almost a, you know, hey, i've done something wrong. but in order to take the pardon, you have to admit to have done something wrong. so, the idea that you have sitting members of congress who are asking the outgoing president of the united states for pardons before he leaves -- i don't know -- i'm not a lawyer. but that tells me, you are saying you did something wrong, that you are guilty, that you broke the law. >> matt, we saw liz cheney earlier today, speaking directly to trump

. >> his attorney john dowd has promised to appeal those convictions. this is the video i was talking about. cnbc caught up with mr. dowd just a short time ago. >> get the [ bleep ] out of here. >> wow. >> that's what i got for cnbc. yeah. take that. rudy giuliani now, right, we had michael cohen before him what i'm going to do to you is going to be fing disgusting. he also hired this gentleman to be one of his lawyers at his first impeachment, the trump lawyer who went to the floor of the house and made the argument outloud that trump shouldn't be impeached, obama should be impeached. this was the lawyer who made the argument that president obama is the real trader and he should be impeached not trump. that was his defense of trump in 2020, impeach obama four years after president obama had left office. which i'm sure trump thought was awesome. he likes his lawyers with extra hot sauce. he brought him on as a trump white house lawyer because that's what he likes in a lawyer. it turns out, though, if you have really sort of taste in terms of what you wa

. >>> joining our coverage, phil rucker, matt dowd, political strategist, the founder of country overtart with you. white house -- in all white houses juggling myriad crises that dominate the news, trying to get out a story of progress they've been making is a complicated message. when you were here last time, we talked about how you breakthrough. how do you think they're breaking through and what advice do you have for them right now? >> well, it is, it's awfully tough for them to breakthrough. my advice to them would be communications 101. that is not try to communicate a dozen different things. they need to communicate one or two things and do that effectively. you know, i listened to that interview you just did with the white house, and look, i'm not going to be a cynical political person here, but this is deja vu all over again and yes, the white house and senate democrats have to go through the process and try to bring republicans to the table, but to your point, nicolle, i watched obama try to do this after new town. i've watched democrats try to do this time and time again, ev

let me ask you a question i asked matthew dowd.n in the hopes of helping the democratic component in november. is that a strategy that could come back to bite them in the behind? >> i don't love it, jonathan. i think at minimum, it's bad karma. and look, we don't, this economy, we don't know how bad the wave is going to be a november. i'm very concerned that candidates that in any other cycle, especially for a lower offices for voters something that coastal tension to their particular issues. who are extremely radical, where anti democratic, are going to get washed into office this time. and so i think that i was more encourage actually by the democrats who did a good deed in georgia and crossed over to vote for brad raffensperger who help protect our democracy last time to play the fact that he's pretty conservative republican. so i don't think democrats need to do that in every case. but boy, i don't love the karma of trying to push the most extreme possible candidate to win a primary. i think we live through that in 2015 and 201

joining me matthew dowd. what is going on?ight to secede. they want to repeal the entire voting rights act of 1965, rejecting the equal rights amendment for women and repealing hate crime law, arming teachers, defending capital punishment, i could go on. oh, protecting confederate monument, can't miss that and ending gay marriage, reversing that right. also penalizing corporations in texas who boycott the state because the state apparently is nuts. your thoughts? >> well, i mean my fear is which is this is connected so much to january 6th because what texas is showing is what the republicans want the country to be and so texas is just one step ahead of the craziness where they want the rest of the country to go. as we saw with then tie abortion anti-choice stuff that texas did, as soon as texas did it, five, six, seven, eight other states did it so i think what they're -- in somewhat good news they're telling us what -- why they want to dismantle democracy and why they don't want to be held accountable for january 6th because

or dowd khattab is the journalist and jordan's capital a man and joins me now by sky dowd firstly, what more can you tell? as i gathered, the substance has been identified as chlorine gas. yes, apparently this ship is supposed to be heading to g booty and about $525.00 a month time of jordan. time. this accident happened exactly what happened is not clear, but some, something happened at burst the container and had this koreen. and it's fred out to 2 people in the area, killing and injuring people, and most in jordan, is there also other national that currently among those war dead injured initially? yes, there was a almost a locked down on on. i could, but i just spoke to a friend who runs a piece of shop in downtown october. may. she said that things are back to normal in the city, but the area near taylor bay, if you know the acrobat area near the fort, it's been close off. and the army is as come in the prime minister as flu for my helicopter to october. and the conference has been following up with the crisis center. they're trying to take a command of this in the army. apparently

and congresswoman jackson lee along with co-directors actress eric alexander and filmmaker whitney dowd husband jason and i are among the co-executive producers and i'm joined by the stars of "the big payback and as well the founder of first repair. i have to start with you, my friend, eric alexander. talk about the genesis of this film. >> yes, thank you so much for having us on. "the big payback genesis" is it's a documentary about reparations. directed by me and a white malle co-conspirator and clan nator whitney dowd, and it's following the historic stories of alderman robin simmons and congresswoman sheila jackson lee. we started this at the initial hearings in 2019, and then we heard about what are robin simmons did and totally pistd on got there and started filming her where we witnessed her beginning to implement the ground breaking bill in evanston as the tax reparations bill in america. that's what we did, and we've been following congresswoman lee leading the 30-year fight to pass the national study in congress. >> and whitney i know you from the whiteness project. that's how

but first it was a rough start to the week for the stock market the dowd tumbled today plunging into bear market territory. here's a look at the closing numbers for you if you dare the dow sank 876 points that is right the nasdaq down 4.7% following more than 10% in the past two trading sessions and the s&p 500 fell nearly four percent that index is more than 20% below it's all time high set in january. so joining us now to explain the numbers and what that means for people like you and me is a certified financial planner based in alameda, sam gaeta sam. nice have you here. hey, thanks for having me on. all right, so those numbers. big and scary so are those percentages but how big of a drop is this? well, it's pretty big. you know anytime. we have a fair market from peak to valley over 20% decline in an index, which is where the s&p 500 ended today. you know, it makes it makes a big difference right? i mean essentially it's i mean essentially it's we're saying that equity valuation stock valuations are declined by 20% in that index and it's something to be thinking about and it's it

matt dowd is a texan.as wants to secede and is this the time that we say to the alt-right in texas, okay? >> is this for me, the texan? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> yeah. what i'd like to say and i was listening to the previous conversation and why these things are so connected i think is because what happened in texas was it wasn't just a stampede of 5,000 crazy longhorns at the georgia convention center -- the george r. brown convention center in texas, theying showing in texas that if we don't hold accountable as democracy is dismantled, texas is showing what they're going to do if that happens, if democracy is dismantled, this is what happens, and it's full. it's vivid and clear in this. this idea of seceding, they asked for a referendum at a legislature and it's a crazy sect of people and it would be stupid for the republicans to do that. there are 40 electoral votes and they have a plus 13 and they have two senators and let's make america democratic and we'll succeed and texas gets more federal there are

joining our conversation, our friends matt dowd, political strategist, also the founder of country overresearch. they are both msnbc contributors. i'm just reading it, i'm struck by how low the bar is. the person who wasn't indicted beat the person who was and was barred from overseeing elections but i guess matt dowd it counts as good news? >> well, i feel the same as you. i mean, the bar is allow, but i'm happy if we meet just a low bar at this point. >> yes. >> and i was actually very taken away very positive from what happened in colorado yesterday because of the republicans, and it may have been driven by unaffiliated voters who participated in the republican party primary and said it's gone too far. i actually was disappointed in the democrats in colorado, and they've done this in other places. if you're on team democracy and team democracy ought to be in the place of, listen, we want anybody that supports democracy, anybody that is not election denier, anybody that's not crazy whether you're a republican or democrat, we want a vibrant republican party that is conservative but bel

maria, you heard matthew dowd. is the democratic party more centre than people realize?re center than democrats -- excuse me -- then republicans would want to realize? >> you had it right the first time. >> [inaudible] what we saw in san francisco last night was incompetence unfolding. and democrats saying we want competence. it wasn't because it was promoting bail bonds. bail bond reform. because that happened in houston, to great well [ -- he wasn't able to fix what people wanted. this idea of feeling insecure when you go outside, and cleaning up the city. it was basic things that wasn't happening in san francisco that the voters got fed up. this was also, remember, a recall election, where the board of education was not meeting the moment that people wanted their kids in school. instead, they were talking about something completely off the books. it's understanding that the majority of americans are reasonable. they want a functioning government that they feel safe with, that their kids are back in school. and at the same time, looking at ways to explore creatively so

joining me now, matthew dowd and adrian elrod. also with us, barbara mcqueue and msnbc legal analyst. barbara, big picture. three days into the post world and the number of lawsuits seem to be growing by the day if not the hour. what are we looking at in terms of the key battlegrounds legally, and is this potentially going to go on for years now? >> i think it is, chris. it's just chaos that we're seeing across the country. it depends very much on the state. here in michigan, there's this 1931 law you just heard about. because of a lawsuit brought by planned parenthood and only because of that, that statute is on hold. >> i'm sorry, i have to interrupt. we have breaking news related to the january 6th committee. the committee has just announced that it will have a hearing tomorrow at 1:00 eastern time. we are just gathering this information now. but according to the committee, this hearing is quote, to present recently obtained evidence and present witness testimony. by guests are going to remain with us. barbara, look, they just

maria, you heard matthew dowd, is the democratic party more centered than people realize or more centered than democrats, excuse me, republicans would want you to realize. >> i think what we saw is san francisco last night, was confidence unfolding and democrats saying we want confidence and not because he was promoting bail bonds, bail bond reform, because that happened in houston, to great welcome, and it was more that he wasn't able to fix what people wanted, and that is this idea of feeling secure when you go outside, not to be mugged, to clean up the city and the basic things that wasn't happening in san francisco that the voters got fed up. this is also a recall election before the board of education was not meeting the moment that people were wanting kids in schools and talking about something completely off the books. it is an understanding that the majority of americans are reasonable, they want to function, a funning government that they feel safe in, that their kids are back in school, and at the same time, looking at ways to explore creatively solutions that address the broken

all this, let's bring in right now msnbc legal analyst joyce vance, msnbc political analyst matthew dowdributor and coauthor of the book i alone can fix it, donald j trump's catastrophic. year big welcome to your. all caroline let start with you. give me a sense of what the most important information that we learn from that first hearing thursday night. >> first, off i'd like to credit can delaney an msnbc for describing it as exactly as it was. it was the opening statement of a prosecutor laying out the culpability of donald trump. with both chairman thompson and liz cheney, the group laid out all of the ways, all of the evidence of people around donald trump who was telling him repeatedly, you lost the election. there is no significant fraud that would change the results. and you have to stop doing this. and violence is likely if you continue to try to solve in a mob to the capitol. those things tell you the evidence suggesting donald trump's intent was to blow through facts, ignore them, promote falsehoods, in a conspiracy, a multi-step conspiracy to block the peaceful transfer of pow

joining me to break it down is tom costello, kelly o'donnell and matthew dowd. start with that economic part of the puzzle. what would an interest rate hike of three quarters of a point mean? >> i think we should probably stress the reason the fed is going to do this is because it only has one tool in the tool box to get inflation under control. and that's a hammer, only they are using a sledge hammer right now. this would be the biggest since 1994. it would mean new mortgage rates would go higher, car loans would go higher, credit card loans would go higher. if you take out a home equity line, that would go higher. all of those costs would start to grow and and grow and grow. it means companies that want to borrow money to expand, they maybe not willing to do that because everything costs more. the whole idea is slow down the pace of the economy, slow down inflation, they have a couple strange caveats here. unemployment right now is at a 50-year low. 3.6%, even as we have inflation running so hot at 40-year highs. that's really unusual. so the fed needs to slam

. >> his attorney, john dowd, has promised to appeal those convictions. this is the video i was talking about. cnbc caught up with mr. doud a short time ago. >> would you like to comment to cnbc? >> get the bleep out of here. that's what i've got for cnbc. >> wow! >> that's what i got for cnbc, yeah, take that! rudy giuliani, now, with michael cohen before him, he got a [inaudible] effing disgusting. that's the guy who trump chose to be his lawyer for the mueller investigation, you might remember. he also hired this gentlemen to be one of his lawyers at his first impeachment. this was the trump lawyer who went to the floor of the house and made the argument out loud that trump shouldn't be impeached, obama should be impeached. this is the lawyer who made the argument that president obama is the real trader and he should be impeached, not trump. that was his defense of trump in 2020, impeach obama, four years after president obama had left office, which i am sure trump thought was also. he likes his lawyers with extra hawks of this, he actually hired that

work outside yesterday and they're like we only have to make it through what 3 days of this or so, dowdah, it's the thing here in the bay area. you may make it through a little bit of heat, but it's just a little bit. it never lasts for too long. yesterday was definitely a hot one. a record breaker for a few of our cities. but we know that we are in for a nice cool down, especially times, especially nicely time for the weekend. so we're we're records, sfo and san jose where the spots that broke records yesterday up to 98 at sfo 100 in 2 degrees in san jose. oakland, you tied your former record. 98 santa rosa. napa up 204, which actually were records just impressively war. as for conditions today, temperatures are still going to be hot but not as hot. so if you do have to get outside, get some work done again, i know it's not going to be comfortable for it. at least no triple digits on the map today. look at this. abundance of lightning strikes across the southern sierra and then down towards the grapevine. we have some monsoonal moisture that's working its way up into southern californi

matt dowd, what do you see? through the prism of whether or not donald trump wins or loses and how that defines the republican party. georgia is an outlier in this. 94% of people that donald trump have won he's endorsed. that's a pretty good record for donald trump. i think the worst thing is, which i actually think is far more dangerous. nearly every republican candidate who has wong a primary, a republican whether endorsed by donald trump or not, either pushes the big lie, is an election denier or doesn't have a problem with the move towards autocracy. it's a little bit like chernobyl. what led to chernobyl was bad design, misinformation and bad decision making by people there. just because you remove a person that hit a wrong switch and contributed to the meltdown doesn't mean you don't have nuclear disaster that spreads. even if you take that person out, donald trump, the republican party has become a toxic waste dump of this big lie autocracy and denialism. that's i think the fundamental problem. there is n

are not limited to ukraine, too, it becomes clear about this e wrote in the new york times e ross dowdedollapse of russia remains a pleasant fantasy. the conflict comes to a standstill and freezes. and we must put our ukrainian policy on a stable footing, without eliminating the regime. putin or the dismantling of the russian empire. in such a scenario, our plan cannot be to continue writing endless checks to the ukrainians to modestly tiptoe around them and let them dictate the purposes for which our weapons will be used, so if kiev and moscow are moving towards a multi-year frozen conflict. we will need to push ukraine towards a more realistic, not the most ambitious, military plan, and just as quickly. we need to shift some of the support time. kiev from our budget to the european allies, that is, to pay unlimited. they don't want to either. i want to say that in this case, this is not only the american position today, but germany also came out with a refusal to provide ukraine with its tanks, because later they are well aware that this could turn out for them a huge problem. you corr

and we don't know from mr dowd and yet whether he thinks that boris johnson should continue in the toper has decided to walk over these by—election losses. to put the result in tiverton and honiton into a bit more perspective, it is a colossal defeat for the conservatives. they had a majority of 24,000 in the general election just three years ago. they lost comfortably last night, and it is the biggest ever majority to be lost at a by—election. it's a seat that has been tory blue for a century, it isn't any more. and i suspect there will be some conservatives waking up very nervous about the results here, and the results in wakefield, and wondering whether the prime minister, the leader of the party, is a problem. he said last night that the idea he would resign over these results would be crazy. that was before they came in. i suspect he will face more questions like that later today.— he will face more questions like that later today. thank you very much. let's get some more reaction to those results and oliver dowden's resignation from shadow transport secretary, louise haigh, who r
