my favorite experts, juanita tolliver, msnbc political analyst and host of the whatÌ podcast, henry galen cofounder of the naked prague gas. he's worked on a number gop campaigns in the past, including john mccain, arnold sports and a, george w. bush, but clearly no republicans right now. all right, read, new hampshire, six days away. what do you think we are in for? >> look, i think that trump is probably very worried that nikki will have a late surge. i think we don't know, as you noted about the polling, is that remember that new hampshire is an open primary state. unlike iowa where you have to be a republican to caucus, here, anyone can vote for anybody. remember the democrats don't have a primary this year, they moved their first contests to south carolina. so you could have a whole bunch of democrats and independents rolling across the aisle to maybe vote for nikki haley just to upset the apple cart. and i think that's why you see trump's going after nikki haley, calling her nimarata, all of these things which i think -- >> calling her by her name. >> by her name -- >> isn't that in

host: coming up, we'll get a preview of this monday's iowa caucuses with galen bacharier.st, a stepchild from iowa. we spoke with the owner of eight in one basic clothing store known for its witty political t-shirts. the store has become a staple for reporters and campaign staffers who dissent on iowa around caucus time. >> we do our own screenprinting and design so too should printing his wheelhouse. i wheelhouse within the wheelhouse is timely response about things going on. in des moines in january election gear, we have a lot of caucus and election related topics. for some reason you have to come here to be president. this church was inspired by something someone overheard in a subway in new york city. they said what the hell is a caucus? and what -- and where the hell is iowa? our design thesis is funny midwestern progressive. we usually start our day by looking through headlines, chatting about if there are any sort of thanks. that grandma swami -- vivek ramaswamy's bus went into a bus the other day -- into a ditch the other day so we thought, how does a libertarian

when for exchange, this is silver a single time ago russian foreign minister said galen, ralph, spoke of the united nations describing the incident is a criminal acts, mike, hear that i'm spoke to someone else and russian transport aircraft. bill $7.00 to $6.00 was down to was, it was supposed to transport from the mazda region to belgrade, $6065.00 military service, many of the armed forces of ukraine. they were accompanied by 3 of russian officers and the crew of 6 people. all of them died, the cleaning and prisoners of war were transported to the belgrade region in order to conduct yet another swab. be able to join now by daniel hawkins who's in moscow and officials that calling a deliberate acts of terrorism. dr. daniel, the u. n. d, the russian side, unequivocal from the a, the i was on this plane crash as to who exactly was responsible. russian politicians cooling this, an act of bob baretski saying that off to what happened. any tombstone, indigo, sions, with kids essentially on the home. so they said they detected to lone, choose to look at launch is coming from the direction

the co founder of the lincoln project re galen. he told me on this program that a win for donald trump in november, a 2nd, trump presidency would guarantee the end of us democracy and the end of the world order, which the u. s. has led for 7 decades. those are strong words. do you agree? uh no, i think that's too strong. i think that the uh i probably have a 90 somewhat nice faith in american democracy. i think the country has gone through how 1st uh, payroll for the correct one. we actually did have a civil war. we should remember that which almost the country was split into 2. we went to a great depression which you could have seen the rise of fascism. we didn't. so i, i think that the american political traditions are strong. the american people ultimately are more sensible than that. they made a pretty rich avoid each color i. i would need to take that to your, your image in pain, both from the, by the administration and from the truck and ministration that the election of their adversary will mean the end of american democracy

so galen falls as he wraps up his thoughts on the results of 2023 on the road ahead speaking for about 3 hours the so many questions and he's on said we're going to take you through a few of the the points that he covered on you, craig, and he said the situation, but the elections are increasingly resembling the staging and reflects the landscape designed to hold on to power as much as possible. he also said, we do not see the united states has in for us, and the settlements in ukraine talking about young and the united states on the united kingdom of trampled on the norms of international law by striking a young and the foreign minister said he also said washington's excuses for the situation with yemen. look pathetic. moving on to the palestinian is really complex . he said that only direct dialogue is needed to resolve relations between israel and palestine. is that the russia is ready to play an active role in showing a full such settlement of the conflict in the middle east. so many other important statements covered during those 3 hours and we'll be add swinging. you some of the

i want to pull in read, galen, now he's a man who can offer some answers. read is co founder of the lincoln project, which describes itself as an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting democracy. rate is good to have you with this good to have you back here where this is the republican nomination, donald trump's to lose at this point to yes, and it always was remembered that not only is the, the leader of the parties, the former president, he's the front runner, but also that the republican national committee rig this whole thing, so that even if he had a little bit of trouble in these early primary states, i, uh, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada. after that, they go from proportional distribution of delegates. the people who actually boat to nominate someone to win or take all. so let's say they go to florida. donald trump doesn't need to win 50 percent. he just needs to win one more vote than the next person. so this has been rick from the get go. but i think that based on iowa and now i think what we're seeing in new hampshire, nothing

stay tuned, we are tuned, with me tonight, maria teresa come our, and msnbc contributor, and reed galen the lincoln project. he has worked on a number of gop campaigns, maria, what's stuck out to you from that interview and what do you make of where desantis stands right now? >> in iowa, but across the country? >> we had no idea what he was saying because he can't believe that he didn't have a chance and the fact that the organization here in the organization there meant nothing, and he recognizes that he's stumbling, he is at his final, you know, taking his final breath, and it is also speaking to does nikki haley also have a shot? what we are seeing is increased consolidation from the gop towards donald trump, which was the person at the top of the ticket, so that begs the question, what we are about to engage in with iowa caucus, is it going to make a difference at the end of the day? unless we see donald trump getting real indictments and possibly going to jail. that is a big question mark, quite frankly, i think that the gop nominee is locked up with donald trump. as painfully and
