and he talked about how fantastically attractive alabama senator katie britt is. for fact's sake, and i'm not fact checking katie britt's attractiveness, we're talking about overturning roe, which made it possible to pass laws to restrict ivf. he also joined a town hall where he refused to back off about his comments about migrants in springfield, ohio, eating pet, saying he was just repeating what had been reported. remember, officials in springfield have said multiple times there's absolutely no evidence of any of that. with that, let's get smarter tonight with the help of our leadoff panel. hayes brown is here, columnist and etd or the, victoria, dean of the clinton school of public service at the university of arkansas, and mark mckinnon is here, former advisor to george w. bush and john mccain. today vp harris made a play for people who voted for republicans, do you think this strategy is working? is this the kind of critical work she should be doing in the last few days? >> 100%. listen, i really feel in the last 48 hours like the political wheel has turned

you just all these big shots right now we had just a senator katie britt. now we have governor jb pritzker of illinois. thanks so much being here. >> now you're making fun of us. >> i'm not making fun of you. you're a big shot. you're not a big shot so i'm a big guy. >> yeah. no big shot. okay, so i've heard david axelrod, a chicago native said earlier that he thought it was a mistake. also, the governor has not done as many interviews as jd walsh because it kind of gets you in good shape for a debate. what do you think well, he's been doing a lot of interviews. >> he's just been doing him regionally and locally i mean, i think, you know, network television isn't the only place to do that's where he's been. he's been out in the hinterlands, which is exactly where democrats need to be winning back votes that have been lost to republicans historically. so i'm actually proud of the work that he's done. i think he's got some experience doing these kinds of interviews and remember, he's been governor for six years before this. and then for 12 years a congressman

focused on women's issues where he called himself the father of ivf and talked about how attractive katie britt is. donald trump supreme court judges overturned roe v. wade that made it possible to pass laws that restrict ivf. he also joined univision where he refused to back off from his comments about migrants in springfield eating pets saying he was repeating what had been reported. officials in springfield said multiple times there is absolutely no evidence of any of that. let's get smarter tonight. hayes brown is here. the dean of the clinton school of public service at the university of arkansas and mark mckinnon is here. and john mccain. today harris made a play for people who voted republicans. do think this strategy is working? is it the kind of work she should be doing in the last few days? >> 100%. i think the last 48 hours, it has turned. it was a terrific performance. she was combative and energetic and certainly landed some blows on donald trump. that was brit hume. she had a mission and wanted to go after donald trump and created of viral moment. that's from brett baier who did t

i was offended by him calling himself the father of ivf and then saying that senator katie britt is youngically attractive as if that is relevant at all to her concerns about her friends who have used fertility treatments in order to become pregnant. i was offended by the fact that he was asked by a vote or why is the government involved in women's basic rights, and he answered with saying, i think it's great for 52 years all of the legal scholars, the best legal scholars, democrats, republicans, both of them have wanted to get rid of it. and that's what i have done here. that is not at all how the legal scholars feel or how the american populace feels. and to the questions about lowering the prices of things, again, no real answer. i'm glad i know more about how doughnuts are made or whatever was going on there, but i don't think anyone walked away from that thinking that he had any sort of empathy for what is going on in women's lives all over the country. he kicked it off by laughing at the amber thurman story. harris brought up that the family had put out a prebottle and he laughs and

. >> bill: senator katie britt fiercely defended israel's right to exist after the floor of the senate after benjamin netanyahue's address to congress. senator britt joins us now here in studio. good morning and thank you for being here. this is what anthony antony blinken said just recently this week i do believe, right? the biden administration's strategy has put the united states in a much stronger position today than four years ago. increased diplomatic pressure to deter and -- where north korea has helped iran over the decades and years to a degree helping build its ballistic missile system. is blinken right or wrong? >> absolutely wrong. if you look at where we are right now this administration has only projected weakness consistently starting with the disastrous withdrawal there from afghanistan. or allies believed they couldn't trust us and emboldened our enemies. you have seen xi come to america and say not an if but a when i take taiwan. when we look at what is happening in the milts east and go back to president trump's tenure where he achieved peace through strength getting

i want to bring in one of the lawmakers with whom the mayor is matt, republican senator katie britt of alabama. senator britt, it's so good to have you. thank you for joining us on the lead. tell us about when you met gina and steve meyer and you heard them tell katie story absolutely. >> well, jake, thank you so much for allowing me to be on and to talk about such an important topic. so my meeting with gina and steve was no doubt one of the most impactful meetings i've had as a us senator. when you think about how it came about, though, i think it gives you a little bit of a window into the u.s. senate. i got a phone call from john fetterman who said, hey, katie, i want you to take this meeting and let's make it happen today after for that they came into my office and sat down and began to tell me their story, jake. and as i've listened, probably very much like you, i listened as a parent and i just want to say as remarkable as katie myers was on this world, there is no doubt to me where she got her tenacity, what gina and steve are doing is just incredible. the resiliency and determi

>> i mean, the fact that the father of ivf usually is enough to call katie britt, explained to him and what exactly it is. but listen, there in the alabama court was able to do that because roe v wade was struck down by justices that were appointed by former president trump, full-stop. that is why that was able to happen. and when it did happen, you had republicans in here and we saw the press releases that went out from the nrsc being what as this is a bridge too far. we don't want this because it was such a mainstream and treatment for women who want to get pregnant. so truly, they've been trying to dig themselves out of this whole for quite some time and i don't know that saying that in front of a friendly audience of fox, of fox news viewers is really going to be the trick there. >> one we did learn, of course that that audience was in fact mostly trump supporters. it was actually interesting to me, i'd ralph reed on the show yesterday of the faith and family. faith and freedom coalition and he actually said they're group is in favor of in vitro fertilization. i was i was intereste

senator katie britt jim jordan next. [ ♪♪ ] ♪ ♪ we continue to live from the debate spin room in news alabama senate or katie britt and congressman jim jordan it was a good introduction night to j.d. vance for the country. all the damage washed away tonight in my view. >> one of the best debate performance is anime kin history and a master class from j.d. vance without to make sure the american people know what's at stake. they've had a hope about the vision of donald trump and he also put it on harris reminding voters over and over again they aren't better off than they were three and a half years ago and they have note plan to make that the case. i love the people got to know j.d. vance. i think the country got to know him tonight. >> interviewed him at the rnc i didn't know his whole story i got to know him and i'm blown away by his life story. going to my friend jim jordan also from ohio you are on my radio show earlier today and you told me watch out he'll be great tonight and i think your production came true. >> you saw the composure and intellect and his compassion. i like ho

been waiting to talk to the great senator katie britt who is post-state of the union speech last january feel about j.d. vance? is it hard to see your dad ignoring someone besides you? i guess, none of these republicans think they will talk to a liberal ""daily show"" dog but i do know who they would talk to. >> who wants some spin from the hulkster? what are you going to do when j.d.'s mascara runs wild, rather! what are you going to do when i asked for a lift home, brother? how about some bus fare, brother? the hulkster needs bus fare? who is that behind me! is that a democrat? oh, yeah. jasmine crockett. she is going down! >> to protect them, and they don't have -- >> brother, you are lucky i don't throw a punch at you right now. the hulkster is here to spin the debate for you! >> i have met hulk hogan. you are not hulk hogan. >> listen to me, jake tapper, i did not spend my career beating up immigrants to let that kamala take over! people got to understand, i know kamala. back when she was kamala the ugandan giant. >> what's going on? >> oh, van jones. hi, van. >> i am here to spin.

i joined with senator katie britt and i support ivf.has not passed because democrats objected because they want to campaign on the issue and it would be unequivocally protected and democrats blocked it. >> senator cruz is telling you something that does not match because he is lying. i was named by an outside group. he is trying to change his image. let's talk about ivf, it did not need protecting until he went after it. until he was responsible for putting judges at the district level, it is not just that, when he ran he made ivf -- ivf illegal. you did, you did. you can look it up, you don't have to believe me. let's have a senator who does not live. it was at risk because of him. >> you can watch the debate where i tried to pass federal legislation and democrats objected. something, says is -- i found it odd so i looked at this group because how could someone who votes with nancy pelosi be bipartisan? he voted 100% with joe biden so how can he be called bipartisan? this group says on their website we do not examine every vote. he vot

katie britt, your colleague in the senate was saying, i am paraphrasing here, it is clear that vance walz on immigration. you were with the vice president when she made a trip to douglas, arizona, and took the issue head on. how much work did she do on that issue? how much did she neutralize that issue for her running mate tonight? >> i was excited to have her there. went to the border with her. she had a chance to meet with the sheriff, the mayors, the head of border patrol in that region. the head of cbp. county commissioners. it was a great trip. she clearly understands this issue. she was a prosecutor, attorney general and a senator from a border state. she gets it. she knows what we need to do. what donald trump did was kill that bipartisan deal that we negotiated with republicans and kamala harris in the white house. that is what j.d. vance needs to explain. he needs to explain why he and other republicans ran away from a border security deal that we all got together and negotiated. the way this thing was supposed to work. by the way, what that deal did was going to mean more p

>> so i got a call from katie britt, a young just fantastically attractive person from alabama.ator. she called me up like emergency, emergency because an alabama judge ruled the ivf clinics were illegal and closed down. a judge ruled. she said friends of mine came up to me and they were oh, they were so angry. i didn't know they were -- it's fertilization. i didn't know they were even involved in it. now that they can't do it, she said, i was attacked in a certain way. i was attacked and i said explain ivf. very quickly. within two minutes i understood it and i said no, no, we're totally in favor of ivf. i came out with a statement within an hour, a really powerful statement with some experts, really powerful and we went totally in favor. the republican party, the whole party. alabama legislature, a day later, overturned meaning approved it. overturned the judge and approved it. and we really are the party for ivf. we want fertilization and it is all the way and the democrats tried to attack us on it and we are out there on ivf even more than them. we are totally in favor of it

think that townhall could have been missed opportunity to have someone maybe like megyn kelly or katie britt or money or someone there to, you soften the message a little bit, but i mean, no one can deny that in the party he has been on the forefront pushing it and i don't think women really think he's going to come and do anything to take that away. that's a democrats stare, scare tactic and, look at what he says. he's going to do what he's pushing it's in the party. he's been the most vocal, basically told the whole party to get in line. no one's touching ivf, no one's jeopardizing it, and the party largely has that attack line from democrats is based on what lawmakers, state lawmakers in alabama put forth that eventually was overturned by the state meghan, i'm curious though what you think trump is trying to do here because to kristen's point, trump caught a lot of republicans off guard saying that the federal government should pay for ivf, right? >> i think he is trying to muddy the waters, right. he has overwhelmingly said numerous times that he is the person who overturned roe v. wade.

i got a call from katie britt a young just a fantastically attractive person from alabama. she's a senator and she called me up like emergency emergency. because in alabama judge had ruled that the ivf clinics were illegal and they have to be closed down. we really are the party for ivf. we want fertilization and it's all the way the father of ivf, meghan hays, i mean okay. i don't understand how he can say that with a straight face, but i do think he's trying to appeal to women, so he's trying to, but i think that it's already it's already baked with women. i think that people know that he overturned roe v wade, and he will own that. and this is part of that and this is only going to be on the ballot there's only being on the balinese different states because of that. so i just don't think that this is going to i think it's going to fall flat with women. i think you're already seeing that fall flat. it's the number one issue. i don't know why he continues to talk about it because every time he does, it just draws more attention to the fact that he's the one who overturned

katie britt, great senator from alabama, she said you have no idea. so many women, crazy.explain it. after about five minutes i said we can't do that. that's great. that's helping us to have beautiful healthy babies. that's ok. and i actually wrote something out and it was quite good, i must say. it was totally supportive. and alabama legislature the following day passed exactly what i wrote. and we are totally in favor. but she said i want to end ivf. in fact i want to get insurance companies pay for the ivf if possible. and i'm going to protect medicare and social security and your health care from kamala's open border catastrophe. so she's the one who threatens your health care. and according to recent studies, kamala's plan for getting free health care to illegals will destroy medicare. it will destroy our country. it will cost $2 trillion. that is something she will do. and by the way, if you tell them, then they are going to come and it is a tragedy. if you say they are not going to get it then they are going to stay where they are. i will never let our country be de
