sarah huckabee, i did not like her response. to me, she still has the soul of the trump administration. she hinted, talking about the future america. the america that trump promoted was not america for everyone. it was only for the rich people and mostly white people. that thing that went on on january 6, trying to take over congress and everything, this was what his soul was. we don't need a country like that. we need democracy. all that president biden is trying to do, i'm hoping that the republicans will work with him to accomplish all these things that he talked about tonight. >> what do you do? >> i am a retired correctional officer. and i work part-time as a substitute teacher to supplement my income. >> what did you think about -- >> so i know about the medicare and social security. i do not want anything to happen to that. for me, i would love for them to revamp food stamps. i think a lot of people get away with murder with these foodstamp things. we have people coming over that are getting benefits that, i see them go t

sarah huckabee sandsers gets a state of the union spotlight. trump gets the affirmation.s arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders prepares to give the republican response to president biden's speech tonight. politico reporting that when governor sanders delivering his address, it will be a healthy reminder that the foer president's impact on the g.p. is likely to last for generations. even if many republicans claim they're ready to move on. in her inaugural address lt month, governor sanders said, i did not seek this office be the first anything. i ran to make arkansasirst in everything. her speech from the capital in little rock is about 20 minutes. gov. sanders: thank you, thank you. thank you, senator boozman. what an incredibly special moment to have the same person emcee my inaugural address as the one that did my dad's nearly 20 years ago. pretty amazing. thank you, senator. [applause] speaker shepherd, president hester, members of the supreme court, distinguished members of the general assembly, and my fellow arkansans, the oath i have just taken represents an unb

here she is. >> good evening, i am sarah huckabee sanders. being a mom to three young children taught me not to believe anything. i heard tonight from president biden. from out-of-control inflation and violent crime, to the dangerous border crisis and threat from china. biden and the democrats have failed to you. they know it, and you know it. and it is time for a change. tonight, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless american idea that government exists, not to rule the people, but to serve the people. democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that's not who we are. america is the greatest country the world has ever known because we're the freest country the world has ever known. we're the people who are strong and resilient. five months ago, i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. it was a hard time for our family, particularly our kids scarlett, huck, and george. but we kept our faith and persevered. thanks to exceptional doctors here in arkansas, a successful surgery, and of the grace of god, i am cancer free. throug

i have a comment on the sarah huckabee sanders response.ernor sanders has been in office for a whole two or three weeks. prior to becoming governor of arkansas, she was the press secretary for former president trump. and when she was press secretary to donald trump, she distinguished herself for telling really, really, really big lies, dishonesty as press secretary. the biggest of them all had to do what -- with james comey and the fbi. president trump got rid of james comey as the head of the fbi, which is his right. huckabee sanders told everyone that she had received numerous emails, numerous text messages from fbi agents who supported james comey, when in fact she had done zero text messages with zero emails and zero phone calls about --. she is a real, accomplished liar. it is really very, very sad that republicans asked her of all people to respond to the state of the union. the state of the union speech was fine. republican response was a disgrace. to have a professional liar like huckabee sanders as the spokesperson for the republic

because i know sarah huckabee sanders. she's a warm person. she's a smart person. she just became governor of arkansas. arkansas needs real leadership to bring people together and she had an opportunity to show that side of herself, and instead she's chasing the crazies off the cliff calling all us crazy. there's something going wrong where someone like her when i know she knows better did that. >> they're doing it because it's a winning message. and i thought joe biden did great last night but he did the same thing where he pointed out a few republican extreme views like they're going to take away your social security and medicare. for each party it's a winnoing tactic to say look at these folks. they're trapped in a two party system where in my view the two parties should be a party in itself. >> on the flip side, george, there are people, democrats including liberals who are starting to say that wokeness is getting them in trouble and going too far, and it's a great talking point for the right. and here's nicholas christoff a week ago in this column saying i fea

>> absolutely, sarah huckabee sanders nailed it, great be jo.at is happening with the border and crime sky rocketing and inflation or abandoning energy independence. he didn't mention china or our kids who have been left behind by woke helpless and shutting them down during the pandemic. none of that was addressed last night and republicans lead with this next generation like sarah huckabee sanders. >> todd: get more into the next generation, sanders calling for a new, younger generation of republican leadership. you are in the trenches and know who potential candidates are, is that attainable in the 2024 cycle? >> we have a huge field and we are seeing it across our party is leaders stepping up. joe biden has left generations of americans behind, it is not about the next generation of republicans, it isern ms who have been left behind by this administration, whether the fentanyl crisis or crime or what is happening in schools. republicans talking about school choice, glad to see sarah bring that up last night. republicans are ready to take the

about >> she's going to roll the dice, sarah huckabee sanders, and roll into the walk mobs. over the likes two weeks water ali velshi and i do, inclined, emigrated figure out what are your economic plans, what are you gonna do about the debt ceiling? and i want to speak for the both of us, every republican we reached out to doesn't have a counter plan. or even if they have an opinion personally, the party has no consensus of what they want to do on the debt ceiling or any sort of economic policies to counter their narrative that the biden economy is in the toilet, which it isn't. so pivoting to the walk mob is just a new conversation this certain portion of the population bite into any can distract them. because there aren't policies. we want to put your charts up, state of the union aid, nobody called us back. >> i get why she did it. but what is strange is you're like, i'm gonna right now appeal to 11% of the country, whereas like joe biden is, like i will know what people to 80%. now that that's the population that watches it, it just seems strange to kind of narrow it in

the other breaking news is that pbs and cnn hated sarah huckabee. sanders speech. >> watch this speech. i'm trying not to levitate from my chair because there were so many. she leaned so hard into the culture wars that she just slid right into ignorance or as enemies. >> but as fellow americans, really what her speech was, was, no, let's treat each other as enemies. >> that was the tone and tenor of the beginning of her speech. tone and tenor of it. joe , your thoughts? yeah. you want to know why these networks have so much trouble attracting an audience? because they are wholly predictable. trace, when you tune in, you knew they would praise biden. you knew that they would bash huckabee. sanders, there is no there is no debate. there is no different perspectives. on what we saw tonight. and in tonight's state of the union, race was so typical of state of the union addresses. >> you know, it was a laundry list of policy priorities. it was touting so-called successes. in the end, biden should be based on what he did not mention, like we talked about

sarah huckabee sanders did a beautiful job. >> she was great, wasn't she? >> ainsley: we'll play a sound bite and get your reaction on the other side. >> in the radical left america, washington lights your hard-earned money onir foo. you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves and our children are taught to hate one another on account of race, but not to love one another or our great country. whether joe biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist, his administration has been hijacked by the radical left. the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left, the choice is between normal or crazy. it is time for a new generation of republican leadership. >> ainsley: she used normal or crazy a few times, i think three times, the word crazy what is your reaction to her speech? >> i thought the governor did an excellent job. i've known her for a number of years, when i asked her to give the speech, a lot of people don't want to do it, you don't have an audience. if people listen to the words of this governor, youngest

yamiche: sarah huckabee sanders criticized him, talked about him being part of the woke mob.lso president trump, he said the speech was not as terrible as it could have been, but he also criticized him. peter: they are trying to find the traction, what sarah huckabee sanders, woke issues, they don't talk about much else. she also said several times it is time for a new generation of republican leadership. who was she talking to? maybe her old boss, who is 76. president biden is 80, neither of them is a new generation guy. yamiche: interesting point. speaker mccarthy had warned republicans to behave. what does that tell you about hold and grip on his party but also the strategy for republicans when you think about what congress has to get done? nikole: my take away is welcome to my world. for those of us who cover congress, this is the dynamic we will likely deal with over the next two years and i don't think it is something that comes with any surprise after we witnessed the speaker battle, quite contentious, where you had one lawmaker lunging at another. you look at the week

>> the best part of the speech was sarah huckabee sanders rebuttal. -- how about on the speech? how about joe biden's speech? what do you think? >> well, there were no surprises. he makes everything sound great and it's not. it's the worst it's been the last two years. s it disheartening. >> pete: carter, what do you think? >> typically liberal speech. evidence promised everything but deliver nothing. and but i think that the best part of it was when he tried to blame the republicans for, you know, social security, cutting social security and medicare and all along that's never been part of their platform. and so i think he got his own medicine on that one. [laughter] >> pete: he was called out pretty quick on that one no doubt. i agree. sarah huckabee sanders did a fantastic job, quite a contrast between her and him. brenda, carter, thank you. >> i think. so i think we are going to see a real future with her. >> she may be giving us the state of the union address herself. >> pete: rave review for sarah huckabee sanders and joe biden, you know, you he

apparently, in this case, they think that sarah huckabee sanders.ld just compare and contrast, right? they would say, well, this is not what we -- this record isn't great. we're gonna do this instead. the president hasn't done x, y, and z. it's pretty a pro forma political tit-for-tat, usually during the state of the union. but we see now it's very clear, like i said, the people they put forward to do the responses are usually who the party feels already up and coming, rising stars, people that they want and national spotlight put on. and what does that say, it's saratoga be sanders. >> yes, yes, why would you want to put a spotlight on her? i get it, she's the first woman governor of arkansas at age 40. she's the youngest of any current governor. but, i mean, many would argue first of all, she's just a baby, her father was a governor, her father was a trump sycophant before she got her job with trump. and of course, there is a record of nonstop lying, which is mortalized on snl and everywhere else. why bring her back? >> because it's on brand for t

and i bet sarah huckabee-sanders when she moments from now speaks -- >> he did talk about a record number of small businesses that have gotten created. >> he did and talked about how that's hopeful and the engine of america. let's get back to chad because he's there and has a perch on all of this over on capitol hill. chad, you saw the back and forth, you heard the back and forth. it seems to be coming more and more we're going down this path of people being very verbal from the audience during the state of union. what do you make of it tonight? >> it's almost like a debate you would see in a high school from time to time. it was notable, kelly ferris who was inside said marjory green yelled liar at one point. this is reminiscent by a speech by president obama on obamacare that was not state of the union in 2009. you had these vocal, visceral reactions from republicans. in fact according to kelly, there was one point where he was recognizing paul pelosi who was brutally attacked late last year just before the election and you had several members, andy biggs and a couple of others who didn

that response was delivered by arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders, although you might remember her from her previous job of lying for donald trump as his press secretary. >> the dividing line in america is no longer between right or left, the choice is between normal or crazy. most americans want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war. we did not start it, and never wanted to fight. every day we're told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols. all while big government collude with big tech to strip away the most american thing there is, your freedom of speech. >> say what now? does that look or sound anything like the america that you live in? which party in washington is obsessed with the crazy non issues that she conjured up? i'll give you a hint. it is the one that she is in. in all fairness, i will say that i agreed with huckabee sanders on her point about the choice between normal and crazy. the problem is, for the modern-day republican party, crazy is the new normal. joi

however the gop i think has done themselves no favors by picking sarah huckabee sanders. it is a pick that makes very little political sense. for republicans to win in 2024, they must win independents. they lost independents in 2022. they lost independents in 2020. in 2018. they must win independents. independents are turned off by trump and trumpism. sarah huckabee sanders is world famous for defending donald trump on you know, as press secretary. she repeated many of his lies. came up with new lies herself. already repeated many of the trump era gimmicks like banning the nonexistent crt in arkansas schools. this is not somebody who's going to reach independent voters the gop needs. it's very similar i would say to the decision to keep rhonda mcdaniel as head of the rnc. >> you're mentioning two planks where the rnc isn't always of interest to everyone, but it is the actual network and funding mechanism of the party. and then what happens tonight will be seen by far more people than who's a staffer at the rnc, who as you say, taking someone who's not just in the trumpy w

here's the bigger contest i have with sarah huckabee sanders.d families are under attack right now. and if sarah suggests that, it says to me she's insecure in parenting, to be honest. i don't mean that as a real inexecutive, but i'm comfortable to my kids being expose today a lot of diversity of thought and i want them to be because i want them to grow up having the opportunity to kind of distill competing theories and lifestyles and understand the broader world. and at home we can bring them to the values that my wife and i choose for them. so to suggest that somehow the government is stronger than parenting, which is at the root of the republican argument right now, that somehow sarah huckabee sanders and her husband are not capable of overpowering whatever her kids are exposed to in the classroom is a weakness in presenting, not a per version of government. and i think that message tonight is working in red states, but it doesn't work nationally. and you see the suburbs respond in critical races and say wait a minute we don't want to go to t

those words send sarah huckabee sanders crazy.one culture that's the same culture that's been along. i think it does underline a point that the republican party no longer has leaders that the to lead the state, the country or a community as a heal whoel. they only want to lead the small group of people that reenforce the crazy every day of the week. >> matt dowd, i actually thought for all of that, the most egregious thing that happened in the context of what we have come to understand about one of the ugliest and darkest chapters of trump's presidency was the love story she tells at the end about the military and trump as commander-in-chief. i say this just on facts. i'm sure there are people in the military who love them. i'm not taking that away from them. it's a free country. it's healthy to respect the commander-in-chief. but in the context of the vast body of reporting that emerged, it was broken in "the atlantic", my husband writes about general kelli's concerns, mike bender reports on this. the body of reporting that has e
