are they listening to liz cheney? to take care?> we try to get them on the margins. you are right. they listened to fox news. they are not getting any of this. they are getting all the trump's and bs on fox news. when i had a conservative talk radio show i could reach them. i still talk to these folks, every day, because i come from their world. i will be honest, ali, look, i engage with hundreds of them every week, conservatives, and republicans, and maybe i can just move a few. but, the vast majority, ali, they are gone. which is why i believe that this party will not change. my hope, and my prayer, is that, and i hope i am not too old to say this, is that something new will come along. but, look, none of that, ali, right now matters. right now it is all about saving democracy. so, right now i am on team democracy. which means, vote for the democratic party. as tough as that can be, at times. >> joe, thanks for always being in the conversation. this is not new to you even when you were not a republican, you are always engaging. w

it's anyone more loathsome than liz cheney? daniel davis, a senior fellow with defense priorities, joins us tonight. thank you very much for coming on. the way that people are talking about the prospect of the use of nuclear weapons in ukraine, i never thought i would live to see people throw it out parenthetically. this is not the military you served in, is it? "oh, a nuclear war, no big deal"? >> no. when i served, that's what we needed to avoid at all costs. that's what the whole idea of mutually assured destruction, was supposed to assure it didn't, because that governments, whether it was the hated soviets or the united states, all bitterly against each other, we all understood where you can't go, keeping everybody safe. we've lost that somehow. the current administration, as i wrote about in 1945, a couple days ago, they're pursuing a policy that logically can't be accomplished without putting us at grave risk of a nuclear war, because they say on the one hand we're going to help ukraine, no matter what it takes, as long

. >>> and "inside the hill" covers liz cheney saying a trump run for president could cause more republicannfighting than when they fought over who gets to boot her out of the party. >>> but first, as the battle for congress tightens, republicans are hoping the country such a disorienting nightmare that voters will say "screw it, let's elect dr. oz to the senate." this is hot take. >> hey all you sleepless teeth grinder kings, i'm host who fetches the ball from my dog, tyler templeton. top story, with 13 days until the midterms, the tires are coming off the country, and republicans are riding the glowing orange rims to an election night victory. and we republicans earned this moment. we screwed up covid, which caused a supply chain crisis which caused runaway inflation. and now according to 538, which is totally skewed unless it says what i want it to, the polls are trending in republicans' favor. yahoo-skoodaladee-doo! republican control of the senate and the future of mammalian life on earth could come down to what happens in pennsylvania, where democrat john fetterman debated dr. mehmet

liz cheney says for her that's a l test. >> they're indefensible decisions.as done a good job as governor of virginia, but nobody should be out advocating for the election of people who will not honor the sanctity of our election process. people who do that are in fact putting politics ahead of the constitution and ahead of the country. >> she's making that argument 15 days from the midterms but that's also a foundation of the argument she continue to make from 2022 to 2024. the question is can she succeed or is she a minority in the new republican party? >> she's a minority right now. specifically on liz china, the question is what platform will she have next year when she's no longer a member of congress and no longer the vice chair of this committee? does she decide to run for president? does she find another way to keep this message going? she is for sure at least in terms of people in the party speaking publicly and advocating for that not in the majority on that issue. >> so it's interesting in the since that youngkin tries to win the election and keep

>> because he's afraid of liz cheney. >> he's afraid of liz cheney and the process. >> you should knowthe book on this. >> i did. whole chapter about the fear of liz cheney. he's in a difficult position, obviously. we were talking earlier, there's a great burden on the department of justice as well to go through with something that would be historic. but it seems like the january 6th committee through a remarkable run of hearings laid out the roadmap and said here you go. >> absolutely. the committee outperformed expectations. i think everybody's expectations, maybe even their own. systematically gathers do much information, the way they presented it, really smart lady and in a digestible way. they laid out a roadmap for the justice department and one we hope attorney general garland and his troops are following because, you know, we were talking about our north and how much our system really depends on having people in these offices who will respect those norms. you can't write rules and regulations and laws that take into account every conceivable, possible future instance in which,

and you've got to give liz cheney credit.platform to tell her country that the threat trump and trumpism imposes is as grave. and she's used the same words as an investigator, used the same tactics turning to witnesses, working up the chain of the ladder as they did to pursue the threat of foreign terrorism after 9/11, but it is this last step. it is failing to throw down and vote for the only party that right now was for maintaining america as a democracy that holds her back from being really powerful. >> well, you know, i've thought a lot about this. and as i've watched liz cheney in the course of this, i give her lots of props for all the things she's done. she's been the most effective person, communicator, related to the january 6th commission bar none, bar all of them. she's been the most effective communicator in the course of this, which has been an effective advocate for what we're talking about, this democracy versus autocracy moment in this. but i think liz cheney is like a lot of republicans. and you and i know a

liz cheney and abraham lincoln are like two sides of the same coin. d the supreme court justices trying to bring it back. sure, liz and i don't agree on everything. she refused to denounce birtherism, defends torture, including waterboarding, and, when trump was president, voted with him 92.9% of the time. all truly unforgivable acts, but by the allied power vested in me, i hereby forgive her on behalf of all of her victims, because she descended into the sacred baptismal waters of calling trump bad. and that's why she's tonight's... good night, everyo! [♪♪] and then i hear this rabbi on television. i mean, imagine. i'm really sorry, george. i-i-i wasn't jealous of you. it was just the whole... marriage thing. you know, i was just a little surprised. why would anyone eat canned fruit? i mean, can anybody answer that? what about all the "loser" stuff? i don't know where the rabbi got that. you know, i never said that. i said, "i've never seen you looser." jerry: i could see the can if you're in the army. but fresh fruit, it's available. it's there. it's

liz cheney responded to the question of why wait so long today? in a speech she said we wanted to make sure all of the evidence they had against trump, and over nine hearings this year, they did that. >> do we think he's going to show up? >> i don't think it is likely. this is something the members have all been aware of. in conversations with them, as they have been talking as a group, they said we know it is a very different ask to make of mike pence, he would likely consider coming forward with the subpoena. donald trump is a master at running out the clock and tying things up like this in court. you even saw in the 14 page letter, there is no yes or no. there are a lot of false claims, things he has set on the campaign trail, and pictures of crowds. beyond that, no yes or no on whether he will comply. >> you are running around the hill getting this information. what is your sense of former president trump's interest coming before this committee and how far the committee is willing to go? president trump is going off saying these are angry, it

liz cheney and abraham lincoln are like two sides of the same coin. eme court justices trying to bring it back. sure, liz and i don't agree on everything. she refused to announce birtherism, torture, including waterboarding, and when president trump was president, voted with him 92.9% of the time. all truly unforgivable acts. but by the allied power vested in me, i hereby forgive her on behalf of all of her victims, because she descended into the sacred baptismal waters of calling trump bad. and that's why she's tonight's self-sacrificing hero, whose only reward is a lucrative book deal, platform to run for president, guaranteed cable news contributor, contract, and adulation from goldfish-brained democrats, plus all that cheney oil fro ♪ ♪ - ♪ i'm goin' down to south park ♪ ♪ gonna have myself a time ♪ - ♪ friendly faces everywhere ♪ ♪ humble folks without temptation ♪ - ♪ i'm goin' down to south park ♪ ♪ gonna leave my woes behind ♪ - ♪ ample parking day or night, people spouting howdy neighbor ♪ - ♪ headin' on up to south park, gonna see if i can't

liz cheney had a lot to tell trump todd. what happens next? >> alex, liz cheney is among several committee members who have said they are considering all of their options, if and when the former president decides whether he will or won't comply with the subpoena. the committee voted unanimously to issue trump's legal team, saying they are still reviewing it. but noticeably trump hasn't said what he plans to, do not in that 14-page response to the committee's about to issue. it nor his first public appearance since it was issued at this rally in texas last night. but there have been reports that trump would consider testifying if the committee would agree for him to do it live and in public. that is a possibility that committee vice chair congresswoman liz cheney poured cold water on on meet the press this, morning saying that if this testimony did happen, it would, quote, take a couple. days and would be done with a level of, or disciplined seriousness it deserves. adding that the committee will not allow trump to, quote, during this into a ci

but electoral influence in liz cheney's reach. a lot of time with democrats and democrats spending a lot of time with her. and that for both sides, it is new. she didn't say uneasy for everyone. but there may be something in her message to this group of voters frank is talking about that may keep some of the people out of office. >> i believe so. look, i don't think in general that for a lot of these voters that liz cheney being in an ad for example might be effective. but i do think that this message and this interview is effective for the reasons that frank pointed out. but also because it is focusing on a particular issue. she's not saying that republicans can never be redeemed. she is not smearing republicans. she's focusing on an issue and saying this is important. and in this situation only, i've never voted for a democrat. but if it came down to someone who was denying that the election was real, someone saying that fraud exists that doesn't, someone pushing views that are counter to the very foundation of democracy, given

let's start with liz cheney. i was just watching this mornin morning.bout her but to call kevin mccarthy leader of the pro- putin wing to say yes we will support ukraine but not with a blank check. this is outrageous. >> of course but i'm not quite sure how they give a microphone is. let's remember when he by 44.so largest margin than anybody is ever lost in 100 years is interesting those very same people those who were calling their father a warmonger so the whole thing is extraordinary. i don't take this very seriously except those that hate republicans and with that insurrection on january 6. steve: every republican should be focused on winning these races. turning to the senate, warnock his record is coming forward and now people are starting to realize they are far more left-wing. what do you think about that race? >> they are all about the economy and inflation and gas prices and crime. cannot run on those issues talk about things like abortion and election integrity. abortion rates down pretty far that you remember joe biden and the reason that t

rachel: unbelievable. >> here's a portion of your open letter back to liz cheney. e my team tells me your commercial should add another 10 points to our lead. i guess that's why they call the cheney anti-endorsement the gift that keeps on giving. quite an endorsement, kari. >> my goodness, i'm telling you, she will be our best fundraiser yet. we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since her ad started and we put that letter out. she'ses just -- she's hated by sides right now. we're actually bringing democrats over to our movement. they don't like liz cheney either and for her to think that she can come into arizona and try to influence this election, it's comical. it's sad. and a little bit scary. i think the scariest costume you could you put on for halloween would be liz cheney. you'll get no candy at anyone's door. rachel: no, she is definitely -- lacks charisma, let's say it that way which is something i think you have in spades and something that a lot of people are very interested if in you because you have been fearless in taking on topics that peopl

the message and it is resonating on abortion rights there in arizona. >>> i want to ask you about liz cheney a congresswoman alisa slotkin of michigan and her re-election bid, the first time that cheney, a critic of the former president who lost her own gop primary has crossed party lines to formally support a democrat. do we anticipate there are more endorsements like this coming? >> yes, 12 days out heroic the question is what is liz cheney's next move? this is a major endorsement in a competitive michigan race here, one that could have potential consequences in helping slotkin's re-election bid. it was liz cheney several weeks ago in texas when she was directly asked whether her resistance to these trump acolytes who were running for re-election across the country, whether that would mean that she would actively go and support democrats. she said at the time, yes, but she stopped short of ever actually doing that. she came here to arizona and talked about the threat that kari lake would pose and suggested that arizonans should look like voting for a democrat like katie hobbs, but she stop

liz cheney is running ads in the state for democrats. democrats, old fashioned conservatives, others voting for you? >> i absolutely think so. what we are doing is creating a permission structure for those republicans that normally vote straight republican we are making this choice of sanity over chaos, you should too. >> thank you so much. all the time getting very early in the morning to talk to us you spent so many years here spending with a thank you so much. >> katie hobbs arizona current secretary of state. the democratic candidate in the government -- we are watching velshi live from phoenix, arizona. we will have more from our conversation with voters republican and democrat coming up. we spoke with liz cheney, outgoing republican -- appearing in campaign ads all over arizona and the legacy of john mccain and what has become of his republican party here in his home state. also, i will be joined by his reporter who was a frequent guest on his show. the sham election audit, the cyber ninjas fraudit, and how it played out in arizona

liz cheney is on everybody's mind. i'd love to know what's on your mind, as you think about defending democracy? ms. cheney: i spend a lot of time thinking about arizona. if you think about elections that are happening now. in arizona today, you have a candidate for governor in kari lake, candidate for secretary of state in mark finchem, both of whom has said, this is no secret , that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it. both of them have looked at 2020, the fact that the election in arizona was carried out according to state law, that there were accounts, recounts, audits. that there were multiple court cases and rulings all of which went against the former president. the election itself was certified, and the arizona electors correctly certified for biden. they looked at the law, the facts and the rulings of the courts and they said it doesn't matter to them. and if you care about democracy, and the survival of our republic, then we all have to understand that we cannot give people po

liz cheney has done that. that should give us hope. >> thank you so much. >>> the san francisco police department is about to deliver that update on the violent attack that we have been speaking about against speaker pelosi's husband. we will bring it to you when it happens. >>> new efforts to keep elections and our democracy safe. that's next. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. like #11 subway club. piled with turkey, ham and roast beef. this sub isn't slowing down any time soon. i'll give it a run for its money. my money's on the sub. it's subway's biggest refresh yet. covid-19. some people get it, and some people can get it bad. and for those who do get it bad, it may be because they have a high-risk factor. such as heart disease, diabetes, being overweight, asthma, or smoking. even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your risk of covid-19 turning severe. so, if you're at high risk and test positive, don't wait. ask your healthcare provider right away if an authorized oral tr

doctor about everyday verzenio. >>> for the first time ever, outgoing republican congresswoman liz cheneynsing. cheney, who was once the number three-ranking republican in the house had never before publicly endorsed a democrat. in a statement released by the slotkin campaign, cheney wrote, while elissa and i have our policy disagreements, at a time our nation is facing threats at home and abroad, we need serious, responsible, substantiative members like elissa in congress. in response, slotkin's opponent, republican state senator tom barrett released a statement that read in part, now establishment war hawks like liz cheney and elissa slotkin are standing together because i oppose their senseless thirst for more foreign entanglements. both real clear politics and the cook political report list the battle to represent michigan's seventh district as a toss-up. we'll watch that race. but let's pull back to 20,000 feet. this is why we have jon meacham here. this race and this endorsement, meacham, represents the battle for the soul of america. what's at stake here? what do you make of liz ch

if not a court of law, joe, and liz cheney - court of law, joe, and liz cheney said that at the outsethe standard that he enunciated which is they did not definitively tied donald trump to oath keepers or groups of people being told to go to congress directly in the armed and cause violence, but congress did lay out, i think, a very understandable narrative that i think they can support very strongly. they said, look, first off, ok to be mistaken about crazy theories and it's even 0k to about crazy theories and it's even ok to be a sore loser, but what donald trump did was he knew darn well that these theories about stolen boats and stuff balance and all that were nonsense. he privately acknowledge that but then publicly to millions of people over weeks following the election kept telling them things that he knew to be false. and then on the day of january the 6th, with analogy secret service had, knowing people were armed and incited and excitable, donald trump then kind of let that spark and sure enough, not surprisingly, that act and armed an energetic and angry mob marching on cong

we're seeing liz cheney, republican liz cheney now pushing in states like arizona to try to say, hey,ocracy is really more important than partisanship in a emplmoment li that. so i think you'll see dual messages and will the attack on paul pelosi and tieing that to kind of violent rhetoric, is there away to tie that argument to the election denier argument and just cast all of that as a democracy should override partisanship. there is an effort to do it. i don't know whether it will work. >> i guess we'll know in about -- i won't say eight days because it could be longer than that. but maybe by the end of the next week. when we look at liz cheney, right, in arizona, with this new attack ad, kari lake responded that basically saying hey, thanks, liz cheney, i've raised plenty of money off of that ad. is liz cheney an effective surrogate. >> i think it is very tough. i also think that i talked to voters in pennsylvania last week, people are just sick of the ads. they're getting text messages. they're getting emails. there is so much money in this system and the broader point that you ju

this is what liz cheney said.d, mccarthy is going to make himself the leader of the pro putin wing of my party. it is just a standing thing. your thoughts on what is driving this and having just come back from kyiv. the real implications of their not having that funding. >> look, alicia, the ukrainians have the momentum with them. russia is on its heels. only a republican majority could save russia this point. the u.s.-led alliance, the funding we've provided, the aid we have given them, the resources to defend their country, humanitarian aid, the economic aid, it's kept them in the fight, it's kept the morale high. they are making gains to get russia out of the country. but if kevin mccarthy is going to be beholden to this america first mindset that we are not going to send a penny to ukraine, then you could see the morale of that country collapse. you could see russia -- >> sorry. his audio is cutting in your, is congressman. i appreciate that you defer to him. >> yeah, no. he's better than i am. really, what's

liz cheney never voted for a democrat, but i will this year go out and campaign for them. does that actually reach some of those people that dems have had trouble ceiling to deal with? >> honestly, i doubt it, but i think this is where liz cheney really diverges from the rest of the republican party, right? the rest of the republican party elected officials, at least, mostly excused donald trump's transgressions because they believe in advancing their conservative beliefs, right? whether it's through policies or nominations through the senate and judges, of course, the supreme court justices, obviously a hugely important issue to the conservative base as well. what liz cheney says is that none of that is important if democratic norms are being trampled on, things like that. that's why she is taking her neck out there in the way that she is. in terms of reaching more independent minded conservatives, i don't know that that will be successful in these highly polarized elections around the country that we are seeing right now. but this could be an issue going forward. she has

liz cheney, this is a huge week in arizona, there's a reason liz cheney was on that stage minutes after ted cruz was here. just days before donald trump and mike pence are here in the state. early voting begins in the state of arizona just next week. the mail-in ballots are going into mailboxes next week. that's why the time is so crucial now here for not only the senate candidates but also the statewide candidates to get their messages out and to get those folks that are speaking out on their behalf out here. liz cheney, she was called out the likes of youngkin and cruz for campaigning for lake here. those folks she refers to as election deniers, knowing they are advocating for individuals who are openly working in her own words against the constitution. those are the stakes. over the next week, we can expect the focus to continue to be really high here in the state of arizona. >> david, that's the division in the republican party. liz cheney, ted cruz. let me give you another example. newt gingrich speaking the other day about herschel walker. let's watch. >> i think he is the most im

liz cheney gave a speech at the reagan library where she singled her out and said, i am thankful and proud that there are people like cassidy hutchinson in my party. talk about what happened after her testimony that led us to really what was the most of the new evidence presented today was in the vein of the secret service probe, what they knew, what they told trump and the violence. >> yes, you are right. liz cheney very much was personally involved in the testimony of cassidy hutchinson and also sara matthews and some of the other witnesses that have come forward. she personally vetted their testimony and believed that it was substantial and accurate and trustworthy or else she says she wouldn't have put it out there for the public. so after miss hutchinson testified at her integrity called into question by some on the right, i do think the committee went about trying to back up some of the things that she said. so if you look at the text messages and the communications from the secret service, they do actually get to backing up the things she said about donald trump being irate, a

liz cheney is on the out. she's chosen for country over party. standing up to a challenging donald trump's autocratic tendencies. even though trump's name won't appear in any ballot, anywhere in this country and november, the satin unfortunately undeniable truth is that his corrupting influence can be felt all over. many republicans have taken their dues for interim, crafting the political persona's after how. line their way to power. copying his combative style in order to avoid having to answer for their past moral, ethical, and political shortcomings. we are living through an exceptionally tumultuous era in modern politics, marked by the resurgence of far-right extremists so-called militias. i say so called because you're not allowed to have a militia in the united states. in the widespread dissemination of disinformation and conspiracy theories, it's an era when people are freely referencing resurrecting the civil war. the bloodiest conflict in american history, an everyday political discourse. according to the new york times, mentions of the

that is the kind of threat that liz cheney was foreshadowing.you look back over the nine hearings, the committee set out high standards. did they meet their goals? >> i think the committee laid out a credible argument for the case that the president knew it was happening on generally six, and encouraged -- on january 6 and encouraged it to happen. the committee had a slamdunk. the question is will it matter? will the electorate care? how does the american electorate feel abouthat led up to those days? donald trump will most certainly be a candidate for the republican party. what do republicans do being the party of national security, law enforcement, and a party that believes in legitimate elections and attempts to fight against voter fraud -- what do they do with a former president who has denied the results of the election and encouraged an insurrection at the capital? host: and also watching what the department of justice will do if anything. on this ninth public hearing by the january 6 committee, thank you for joining us. you can watch toda

you know, 70% of the vote in 2020, you know, liz cheney got more votes than trump did. but yeah, it doesn't seem like a ideal place for her. i mean, but, you know, she's getting i mean, yeah, i think it's unlikely she wins. i don't think that will stop her from sort of pursuing this. i think she could very well for president or you know, i think kinzinger might if she doesn't, i think you know, i think she has made it very clear and i admire the hell out of this. she's playing for history. she's playing keeps. and she's one of the very few people that i interviewed in doing this book that was was willing to say that their legacy that she thinks about, her legacy cares about what her grandkids are going to read about in history books about how their grandma or mother performed during these days. and i guarantee you that you, my grandkids, if they up on history, will will it liz cheney will come out looking a lot better than elise stefanik or kevin mccarthy or any of that. now, is that just pollyannish northwest washington guy giving a book talk maybe, but i think that co

we got that warning from the investigation's vice chair, liz cheney.ort to overthrow the government and seize power by force to dismiss elections and results and instead seize power by other means, it relevant occur if there is not accountability. they may throw wrenches in the works along the way towards this kind of a cou that wasn't new evidence but key persuasive point from the committee today. there is one last thing that to me i think was new in terms of new evidence. it did build on some public reporting from mother jones magazine. but added to it new information about former president trump deciding in advance, way in advance of the election that he would say that he won the election even when he lost. watch. >> the select committee got this preprepared statement from the national archives. as you can see, the draft statement which was sent on october 31st, declares, we had an election today and i won. and the memo specifically indicates a plan that only the votes counted by the election day deadline, there is no election day deadline would mat

we kind of want you to react first what we just heard from liz cheney there, right?this possibility had been tangled out there may be that the former president will try to negotiate with the committee and then ultimately want to appear live for his testimony. it seems like they're not going to allow that. there was a sense that if he were to appear alive, that there might be an interest in doing that because he could feasibly, as the former president does, go off on a tangent and incriminate himself or lie under oath. >> i don't think there's any real likelihood that donald trump is going to agree to testify. i think his lawyers, if they are worth distillate, will keep him for testifying under oath because it's so difficult for him to tell the truth. as liz cheney said, if you allow him an open mic it risks the possibility of spewing additional disinformation and also gives him an opportunity to turn it into a circus. if you actually question someone at a position or for granary, it is a tedious process and it requires repeating questions, rewording questions to list

according to the committee, from liz cheney at the beginning and adam at the end, trump is the center of everything, the be all and end all of the conspiracy. if you go down to where they are trying the case against the oath keepers, donald trump is not the center of the storm. he's a passing cloud. he's a tangential figure. their theory in the courthouse is that the oath keepers were planning to make war against the united states, use force against the government, which is what the seditious conspiracy charge is, and that donald trump was just a pretext for them to do what they were planning to do anyway. and the reason for that is clear. to say that you are making war against the united states, it would be very difficult in my case, for example, it was very clear that we were dealing with jihadists, enemies of the united states. no ambiguity who the good guys and the bad guys were, who the alternative sides were. here what the oath keepers want to say, they thought they were being called out not to make war against the government but called out by the head of the government, the chi

liz cheney's at the top of that list.ry charismatic, spewing lies stands an excellent chance of being the next governor of arizona. >> you spoke to marjorie taylor green about her conversations with kevin mccarthy if he becomes speaker. let me just quote from the book. i think that to be the best speaker of the house and to please the base, he's going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway, and if he doesn't, they're going to be very unhappy about it. and that's not in any way a threat at all. i just think that's reality. >> that's not just bravado on green's part. she has been in high level meetings with kevin mccarthy. they were on the fund-raising trail in atlanta the other day together. he has promised her plum committee assignments, better than the ones that she was stripped from, and she has become a person who without changing any of her political positions being a far right candidate has become like a dominant force within the republican party. >> you also report on kevin mccarthy's conversation with former
