that is the extreme maga republican agenda. they have no plan, they have no vision, they have no ideas when it comes to making life better for everyday americans. and that is what today's circus on the floor of the house of representatives will once again reveal. we're still waiting for them to put forward a spending plan so we can debate it. show us your plan. instead, they bring to the floor of the house of representatives today a resolution on socialism. to condemn some dictators that we all condemn. but understand, the goal of this phony, fake and fraudulent resolution is just to somehow provide cover for treedges maga republicans -- for extreme maga republicans to try to undermine an agenda that is designed to lift up the health, safety and well-being of the american people. why do we know this? because, going all the way back to the days of f.d.r., through harry truman, into president kennedy, through president johnson, all the way up until president clinton and president obama and president biden, they've called things l

and it's not clear to me that the extreme maga republicans are prepared to do that. and so what we have continuously said to our republican colleagues is simply, put your cards on the table. show us your plan. you want to cut social security or not? you want to cut medicare or not? you want to cut veterans' benefits or not? what is your plan? and once you put your plan on the table, the american people can evaluate it, congress can evaluate it, house democrats can evaluate it and we can figure out how to end this effort to shake down the american people in connection with the debt ceiling. reporter: you have medicare and social security off the table. is there any particular ebb reason -- for democrats it is off the table, correct? mr. jeffries: we are going to defend social security and medicare. reporter: why isn't medicaid in that category? mr. jeffries: everything that impacts the economic well-being and health is off the table in the context of paying bills that the congress has already incurred, which means meeting our obligation to protect the full faith and c

schumer: 20 extreme maga republicans ran the show. there are many of those extreme maga republicans who are calling for cuts in social security and/or medicare, many of them. it's a great worry. democrats are not going to rest. we are going to keep saying we will not touch social security or medicare. yes. lady in red. >> is speaker mccarthy and president biden -- if speaker mccarthy and president biden tried to raise the debt ceiling in conjunction with spending cuts [indiscernible] sen. schumer: i've spoken to the president both before and his staff after the meeting. he was -- he had the same position hakeem jeffries, chuck schumer, the house democratic caucus chair, the senate democratic caucus, and the president all have the exact same position, which is we should pass the debt ceiling clean. that's where we are at. yes? >> you're being very clear about the debt ceiling. however, in the bigger picture, do you believe this country has a debt problem? what is your plan to deal with that? sen. schumer: yes. unlike republicans, who p

that if it is very minor cuts elthe maga republicans.'s major the more mainstream republicans. that's what we are saying show us your plan because i don't think they can get one together. that is why think speaker mccarthy said let's have discussions but isn't laying out a plan. next, next, next, next. >> social security something republicans yet speaker mccarthy has said the republicans would safeguard social security in the event. why do you think social security is at risk? >> here's a massage during the elections of the speaker, 20 extreme maga republicans ran the show. there are many of those extreme maga republicans calling for cuts in social security and or medicare. many of them it is a great worry. democrats are not going to rest were not going to touch social security will not touch medicare. yes lady in red. >> strike a deal per spending cuts. >> you heard i've spoken to the president both before and his staff after the meeting. he had thead same position hakem jeffries, chuck schumer, house democratic caucus the senate democr

so they want to say maybe donald trump may not be the future maga leader, but we have all the other maga things you know and love. it's sort of like the drummer spinal tap always being replaced but the beat goes on. that's the way the republican leadership is looking at the movement. >> i've never heard a direct comparison from fetch, which they were trying to make happen so aggressively in mean girls and the entire maga movement. i think fetch while not a great piece of slang is probably less dangerous to democracy though. >> i agree, but it's a terrible slang phrase and i think regina george was quite right to make sure it never happened. >> you don't hear a lot of people defend regina george anymore. by the end of the film, no, so i see you as being an i iconic class. >> she doesn't look as bad after sarah huckabee sanders. >> it's all relative. i want to play something you alerted us to. you mentioned that it is a tough poll to do the response, but you pinpointed one political example with a moderate republican where the pageantry was matched. >> we're going to stop violent criminals

he's trying to kiss up to the maga base. this is why he did. base like kevin mccarthy, and they don't like him. that's all this was. kevin mccarthy was the spineless peddler of bigotry and white nationalism. >> so, susan, speaking of kissing up to that maga base, earlier this week donald trump made this appalling statement about russia's invasion of ukraine. >> frankly i don't think putin wanted to do it. i think he was forced in by the statements being made by biden. >> is this trump telling us exactly where we would be if he hadn't won in 2020? >> absolutely. it looks like he is still paying that bill. whatever it is that putin have over here has over here with the money he gave him, donald trump is still paying it off. there's no doubt about it, because to get on the air now, after everything, to defend putin in this day in age? it's absurd and actually the only good thing is that he is so ridiculous is that it will be used against him should he push for a hard run. >> so i guess at this point in the game, after a year when he is called puti

>> yeah, i see fox as the commercial wing of a maga movement that has overtaken the republican party.nt meant news. who teresa and -- what's new and different to resent. that kind of product, resentment news, can also become a source of power. and so fox news is kind of tricky to understand. because it presents itself as a media property. but it is equally a political machine. and the curious thing is both the republican party and fox news have had to learn that this power of resentment can be turned against them. >> how so? >> that's what the court documents are about in the dominion case. it's that they tell the story of how, after the 2020 election, the power that fox news had to grip its audiences in -- was turned around and aimed at fox because of the arizona call and because they were people in the network who actually told the truth on television. and that caused accompany crisis, which is so interesting to think about, stephanie ruhle. if responsible journalism by a handful of fox people resulted in a company crisis, that means the company is not a news company. because giving

he's not ultra maga. >> no, but look, we're sorting this instate ian rand thing, where alice shruggedwas like, this is amazing. i didn't realize it's a terrible book that's really poorly written with a lot of crazy stuff in it. so, this is where we are now. the fact that paul ryan and alan greenspan and all these people. we should not be where we are, stephanie. this is when those things where every man and woman and child now for themselves. that is the antithesis of america. it's not socialism, right, the idea of the united states was an every man for himself. it's we do what we can do for ourselves. and those who can't do for themselves, we see what we can do to help them. and this is where i think you have to understand that for paul ryan or for any of them, right, it's really about how do we help get government out of business in any way. and this isn't just the poll rinds of the world. it's a lot of the sort of weird libertarian stuff coming out of the tech sector to. and give it to wall street or someone else, who ultimately, when they reckon, will have to pay for it and then i

the rhetoric said that the republican party is dead, because of the extreme candidates and maga if you want to say that, but now the democrats haed victory rally, but now with kevin mccarthy as speaker of the house, it means that biden legislation is done as far as getting the things through the capitol hill, and so he can talk about the debt ceiling, and there are accomplishment, but it is very much about janet jackson, what have you done for me lately, and this is going to be difficult for him for the next year or two. >> maria, a point, and he is not going to be passing massive bills with the republicans controlling the hour, and he has simple things to do like raising debt ceiling to keep the country from falling off the cliff. >> that is the point, jim, they will be able to look at what kevin mccarthy can get done led by the maga extremist, and compared to what he got done with the congress controlled by the democrats, and that is going to be a huge thing, we investigated hunter biden's laptop, and that not what people voted them into office with a slim majority to do. and they pr

i love it is he the ultra maga king of ultra maga, the word has to fit into sentence.nt trump is one of the most powerful people in the world make clear joe biden can get their way around what trump accomplish how could george seem to get elected in someone who makes things up it is fantasy. even the notion of creating jobs this is about jobs that existed after the pandemic, there's no real job creation and baby formula that is still a problem these have not been solved when it comes to looking at trump they recognize himbecause he acs that he could not and their desire to reverse everything of his has created this and that they have, you run campaigns, biden is about to launch his campaign the campaign element in the knock u.s. extraordinary without details tied altogether. >> i worry a little bit about that aspect, it's been a disaster, i have friends who are new monthly can find a title for the children, the ever remember a time and a 30 is disappointing that was on friday. it's all gone downhill, you go to the grocery store and he can't find things, we were a laugh

be bold enough to say this is crazy, democrats are great on messaging as you know, they talk about maga extreme republicans, we should be talking about the crazy democrats and it is resonating, people self identifying less as liberal and very liberal, let's have more of that. ashley: former white house chief of staff ron klain is calling out people who are doubting president biden's 2024 run, donald trump in 2016 beat every incumbent in the republican party and then beat hillary clinton. there's only one person who has ever beaten donald trump and his name is joe biden. people who have doubts about his candidacy better have a good answer for who is going to beat donald trump other than joe biden. is joe biden the only person who can beat trump? liz: i think ron klain is living in the past and ignoring the fact that 2020 election was a one off. president biden never campaign to. he was never made to go out of his basement and meet with reporters and meet with crowds, he can't do it. i think he is looking backwards, not forwards. right now polling suggests a dead heat between donald trump

he's a maga provocateur. that is in an extreme way, the intent is part to draw intention. in santos's case with vish burra, if you're part of the movement dedicated to discrediting american government, to making people think that it's irreparable and run by liars and frauds, it makes a lot of sense to draw attention to a guy in congress who is a liar -- he is also in a situation not dissimilar from marjorie taylor greene in the last congress, who had no committee assignments, and did not really have much in the way of official duties. and so, there was not much for her to do other than troll. i guess, the constituents services -- that's basically what george santos -- i have to imagine everyone there also feels like the clock is ticking on this show. it is really unclear if it gets picked up for a second season, although who knows. but it certainly seems like there is a lot pointing to their actual serious law enforcement investigations that could be a lot of trouble >> yeah. i just don't want to go -- on tha

very specifically. >> who is maga republicans?this thing where it is whatever you need it to be in the moment. >> no. that's what wokeness is. that's what the right does with wokeness. they need wokeness to be anything that has to do with progression, inclusion, diversion. that goes under woke. and there is an actual thing in place because of ron desantis. so he is picking these fights. >> to joe's point, would you say that ron desantis is a maga republican? >> absolutely. >> so he's in that category. >> who are the nonmaga republicans at this point? that's all i'm saying. i think we've gotten to the point where 25% of republicans may hold views prescribed to all republicans. when there's 25% that prescribe to a view, somehow it is their view and their view alone. so whatever that standard is that we'll set. we'll have cogent public discourse. we have to be consistent to say here are the parameters and here are the guardrails. it prevents republicans from engaging, you will find the iteration of anything that a person with an r ha

i don't respect these maga republicans break let's sit dow together. >> these maga republicans. they intend to destroy. to get they ensure that the bipartisan ship is in it is possible. >> maga republicans do not respect the constitution for they do not believe in the rule of law, they don't recognize th will of the people. >> we have to be at our best, optimistic and forward-looking. stability over chaos. here is steve's glee spread congressman, majority leader, i am still. >> by the way, thank you for my mardi gras beads. i plan to come back soon. at levitt. it is interesting to go back an put this in recent history. but tonight he was the uniter, not the divider. >> oh my gosh, where you start? there were so many problems wit the speech. i know during the speech he mentioned mcdonald's, but it could have been mcdonald's because he was throwing out so many whoppers from the podium. it's a its' southern border that's allowing them to send al their across the mexican border it's killing 2-300 people young people every day in america pretty talked about this false premise of some

basically, for people that haven't been following again or read into the maga extended universe. whole thing that twitter was unfairly censoring the views of conservatives, there was some controversy around disabling the new york post account, because that a link to the hunter biden laptop. -- it was the wrong decision at the time, other 20 people said that subsequently. it's clear i think they made some poor judgment calls. but the notion is that this was sort of insidious kind of mccarthyism, with big tech, and the clever mid-collaborating. you have the example -- sitting providence people asking for a tweet to get taken down. the actual government. this was the moment i thought this was a good one. about a chrissy -- teigen tweet. >> earlier, you testified about a 2019 tweet. that was about president trump. i think it was from miss teigen, what was the tweet about? >> would you like me to get the direct quote. >> yeah. >> please excuse my language this is a direct quote but chrissy teigen referred to donald trump as a bleep. [laughter] >> the white house didn't like chrissy te

but are now being treated as political prisoners by the maga movement. irrational republican party would not stop -- not prop these folks up as heroes, but the moderate republicans have sold their souls to trump's brand of cultural war politics. and for the rnc, guys like scott adams or just another way to fund-raise off the grift. they can spin his narrative into another trump tirade against woke culture, dumb down the narrative, score some political points against the democrats and raise a few more dollars along the way. so forget loyalty pledges. if the rnc wants to get its house in order, start by throwing out the maga grifters. i'm joined tonight by jen psaki, she served as the white house press secretary for president biden. and her new show inside with jen psaki will debut sunday, march 19th on msnbc. and brendon --, former press secretary to john boehner, as well as chief communications adviser to speaker paul ryan. welcome to you both. so glad to have you. >> it's so good to be in the neighborhood! thank you both very much. so jen, as you folks

maga republicans like to talk about that, burden sharing.ch, we don't have to send our soldiers to the frontline states. if they lose, we are going to have to defend our allies. that is costly for the united states. same about china, thank you for bringing that up, there is this contradiction among some republicans that say we should care about china, and we should not care about russia and ukraine. if russia wins in ukraine, i think that sends a very bad signal to xi jinping, whereas, if you loses, it sends a deterrent signal. i was in taiwan several months ago, and let me tell you, the taiwanese, there is nobody cheering louder for ukrainians than the taiwan, they understand that these things are connected. i hope other americans will as well. >> it is the center of a lot of important converging systems, as it were. michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia, always good to see you. thank you for your wisdom this evening, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> we have one more story for you tonight, and for that, we will take you back agai

he has taken some of the most politically popular aspects of maga-ism, and build them into an actual progressive policy agenda. includes a worker center trade policy, bringing manufacturing back to the u.s. through government intervention industrial policy. rebuilding a blue collar new class with good paying jobs. as he noted last night, that doesn't require a college degree. these are all things that donald trump gestured towards, or rinse and raved towards, but didn't do anything to promote. now, two years into his presidency, joe biden has signed laws putting these policies into action, bringing about real results that he can get up in front of the nation and tout. >> i stand here tonight, after we have created, with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs, more jobs created in two years than any president has created in four years. the unemployment rate is a 3. 4%, a 50 year low. [applause] >> near record unemployment. for too many decades, we have export jobs. now thanks to what you have done, we are exporting and creating new american jobs >> part of that appr

work to remove ilhan omar. >> plus congresswoman katie porter on today's first big hearing for the maga oversight committee, and he's a congressman accused of plotting a coup who had his phone seized by the fbi. >> i went to the door, there are three fbi agents, and they want to take my cell phone. >> tonight, the secret fight to gain access to scott perry's phone, when all in starts right now. >> good evening from new york, i'm chris hayes, we'll begin tonight with a little secret i want to let you in on, ready, here it is. there is no one in this entire nation, including myself, who wants donald trump to somehow be rendered incapable of wants donald trump to somehow be rendered incapable of running for president again more than the upper echelon of the republican party. every single one of them, and a gamble of any sense is praying that someone else somewhere it will make that happen. now, it's certainly possible that a prosecutor right to the. that's something we've been focused on a lot, one of the many prosecutors currently investigating the ex president could come forward, indict

but the current maga republican organization isn't just an opposition party.an anti-democracy organization masqueraing as a party to cover up for a terrorist movement. and they're actively coddling insurrectionists. matt gaetz used his complaining to push support for his ukraine fatigue resolution, demanding an immediate end to ukrainian aid. his co-sponsors in addition to boebert and greene, january 6th rally planners andy biggs and paul gosar, surprise. in fact, the hard right gosar is doing the most to carry vladimir putin's tainted water. he tweeted, quote, ukraine is not our friend. and russia is not our enemy. joining me now is congressman john garamendi of california who just returned from a trip to polish ukrainian border and former rnc chair michael steele, host of the michael steele podcast and msnbc political analyst, and one of the best dressers i have seen this evening. michael, had to compliment that first. first, congressman, you just got back from the ukrainian/poland border. what is the mood on the ground for ukrainians? it has been almost a y

back at home, the maga wing is already slamming the president's trip. could it actually lead to an end to what some republicans call a blank check for the war. >>> at michigan state university students strugtology struggling to return to some sense of normalcy. >> and we are live in jimmy carter's hometown as the former president receives hospice care. our team is here and around the globe with the latest developments. they're all here for us. speechless and joyful is what i'm hearing about the mood in kyiv right now after president biden's surprise stop there. josh letterman, you're in warsaw where the president is headed now to meet with the leaders of nine countries on nato's eastern flank. what do they want from him, and what's his message to them? >> reporter: well, president biden's message is a clear one, that he delivered today in kyiv and will do so again here in poland tomorrow when he speaks just a few blocks from where i'm standing now. the message is that the united states and its western allies are not going to let up despite the fact, chr

even during the midterms he ran on maga hate and it was everybody else's fault. it was the republicans fault, putin's fault, it was inflation was trump's fault. remember. hey, man, it was high when i got here except it was 1.6 when he got there and 9% while he was there. what we haven't seen, we didn't see in the midterms and we haven't seen from joe biden is an attempt at unity. he has tried to drum up division from the beginning and hopefully won't repeat what he did 48, 72 hours ago like friday night when he ginned up the maga hate. i think what americans want to hear is they want to hear that america is reinserting its leadership in the world. we're not going to hear it or if it does -- if he does, it won't ring true. he's got pompeo cards that every candidate and local town con sell candidates had -- counsel candidates had pompeo cards and that's probably so joe can remember the stories. >>jesse: harold, i don't want to hear a listcal as jen psaki said so it don't put us to sleep. what would you tell the president to make his core theme about? >> i wish i wa

and there is a new report by the defendant democracy progress, which highlights how maga republicanse used voter suppression as a key strategy, and that their policies depressed turnout, especially for black voters. how do we undo this harm, and excuse me, rebuild trust with these marginalized communities that we are up against, ongoing voter suppression efforts? >> this nation has to re-commit itself to democracy. we need to make sure that americans know that the way forward to better wages, and making sure that we are getting in front of climate change, to making sure that some of your kids to school is affordable, or getting sick does not send you into bankruptcy. that the way to continue progresses through democracy. a strong man won't care for the middle class. on the way to that, making sure that democracy works for everybody, we have got to stop the voter suppression bills where we can. very luckily there are several states that are going to be doing great work this legislative session to open up access. we also need prosecutors to engage and when bad actors try to compromise

now, our maga republicans cannot claim the same. on the very first day in the new majority, house republicans passed a bill not to help average americans, but rather that helps rich, the ultrarich so they can avoid paying their fair share in taxes. the bottom line is these people who are going to be added to the irs were going to focus on all of those who are much richer than the average american, but pay at a much lower rate. but the republicans couldn't go for that. that's the people they want to represent. then they hardly stopped there. in just one month, the maga house majority doubled down on their war on women, tripled down on the assay nine sales tax proposal, and republicans continue to hold the full faith and credit of the united states hostage to their radical agenda. in the coming months, nothing will require more cooperation and serious-mindedness than lifting the debt ceiling. i was glad to work with president's biden administration and trimp to lift the ceiling, but we did it without brinksmanship. speaker mccarthy ar

that's extreme maga republican agenda.have no plan, no vision, no ideas when it comes to making life better for everyday americans and that's what's today on the house of representatives will once again reveal. we are still waiting for them to put forward a spending plan we can debate it, show us your plan. instead, they bring to the floor house of representatives today a resolution on socialism. condemn -- but understand goal of this fake fraudulent resolution is to somehow ride cover for extreme maga republican to try to undermine an agenda designed to lift up the well-being of the american people. why do we know this? going all the way back to the days of fdr through harry truman, president kennedy, all the way up to president clinton and obama and president biden they call things like social security socialism, medicare, socialism, extreme maga republicans have called public education socialism. medicaid socialism. the affordable care act -- socialism. the american rescue plan -- socialism. the american people should n

or what we saw previous speeches to democrats which were extreme maga republicans and they're crazy?ke there is this moment in washington where the two sides are trying to say we have massive problems. let's be kind to each other. at least in the source of not calling each other names and try to get to the table and have some conversations. i think they know, as ari said, they have to do that. it's insurmountable at this point to stay in your corners and not get anything done. if you have been in washington long enough we will pull soundbites from you like we did in 2011. there is soundbite from joe biden senator. these were warning science. >> bret: no vote on raising the debt ceiling. >> no vote on raising the debt ceiling. that's essentially the position republicans have. he has to confront himself in those former statements which stick around if you are here long enough. >> bret: few excerpts from the speech tonight that they put out ahead of time. my republican friends if we could work together in the last congress, there is no reason why we can't work together in this new congr

he doesn't want to alienate the maga base, and also has to show why he's a better choice for voters. frankly it's something that not just ron desantis is going to have to grapple with, but mike pence, nikki haley, mike pompeo, they're going to have to have an argument for why they're running against him. that's going to be hard. florida is being by desantis as an incubator. that's how he plans to do it. he's going to start going on a bookstore. book comes out tomorrow. we have seen him making stops across the country. basically he's trying to stay in the national conversation without yet officially announcing why he wants to be a national name. >> we sat down with fox news yesterday, eugene, let's play a little bit of that. >> from western pennsylvania, my mother's from northeastern ohio, so that is like steel country. that is like blue collar salt of the earth, and if you know, mark, florida is eclectic, people from all over. we have a culture. i grew up in that culture but really it was kind of those rust belt values that raised me. >> he's not just a florida guy, eugene. you guys

the back and forth between speaker mccarthy and the maga republicans. it shows lack of unity, which is very, very worrisome and troublesome. right now house republicans are risking economic disaster by holding our country hostage to just to push their extreme unpopular and down right dangerous agenda. that's why this cause for the american people in general, and certainly when it comes to debt ceiling. our plan is simple. plain, simple plan. raise the debt limit clean. it's simple. but it's a real plan. it's how we have done it four times in the last several years under both republicans and democratic administrations. and we are saying to -- to tell our republican friends and speaker mccarthy, show us your plan. he says he wants cuts. where? he hasn't named a single place where he wants them. is it going to be social security or medicare? don't just say no, prove it. show us your plan. he said, well, he's not going to do that. but a number of his republicans are still saying they want to do t the very same republicans who got their way when they were or

and a group of chaotic dysfunctional and extreme maga, republicans who want to turn back the clock. joe biden must answer for his failed leadership. whether it's the border crisis, continuing to rage at our southern border crashing inflation and over $30000.00 a national debt or a balloon from communist china entering into the united states sovereign airspace. joe biden has caused a crisis in america. oh, now go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she's at her capitol hillock? kimberly presumably, joe biden will be very much looking to shore up domestic support and what has been a difficult past year with huge international distractions. there's no question that the president is looking to sharp domestic support, given the fact that in many ways this state of the union speech, the president, 2nd is really a kind of a de facto pitch to the american public for a 2nd term in office. and so many americans, well there have been those international distractions, really focused on the things that matter most to them domestically right now. and that in most cases are t

and none of that blood red maga speech.arently, what do you expect? >> bill: i think that you are probably going to hear a policy speech that deals with we have set in place these ideas and they are working and give them time. we need more time. so we will stay the course. with regard to the speech tonight, however you think of the state of the union addresses last year 30 million people watched. 20 years ago george bush at 62 million people march 2003 and the iraq war and times were different. but if you look at the popularity over the last 20 years, it has gone down more and more. having said that, 38, 40 million people still a good slice. he has a chance to have a conversation. i would expect him to push his own policies and his own idea with regard to unity, that is the theme he brought to the inauguration speech. you can ask republicans how that is going after two years. >> kayleigh: it it is not going well but harris, interestingly you look back historically gerald ford was candid with the american people at the state

maybe a small band of extreme right-wingers are, maga people, but not everybody else. so, it was so disturbing to read in "the washington post" that the rnc is not so much abandoning the conspiracy of the big lie, so much as doubling down. according to reports, they are working on creating a permanent infrastructure in every state to ramp up election integrity activities as a way to cater to that portion of the ba is that still believes in -- of the base that still believes in these conspiracies. as a sign of how unserious this is, the rnc makes unfounded claims of, quote, a continuing onslaught of democratic election manipulation. i would call it ridiculous -- it is ridiculous -- but it's a troubling attempt to undermine our democracy. when people don't believe the elections are on the level that's the beginning of the end of this grand experiment in democracy that has lasted for centuries. fortunately, the american people are rejecting it, but the republicans, the maga wing is keeping at it. i'll make this easy for the folks at the rnc -- undermining our elections a

is finally listening to them a little bit as far as toning some of it down. >> are you seeing the magas and respectful? >> if you watch the conservative rhetoric, it looks like they still loves america. >> it still respects positions of power in this country. >> police, military. >> executive branch, exactly. what does your hat say? >> i give a shit about the president. [laughs] >> this approach is already attacking biden's approach of the war in ukraine while lauding trump's brilliant yet still theoretical approach. >> we would have never, ever gone in, and even now, i could sell that in 24 hours. >> trump says he could pick up the phone and end this thing and 24 hours. what actually would he say? >> he would be that kind of tone. >> you think, totally, knock it off, vladimir putin. >> because he knows trump stands up and says, hey, i will do it. >> you wish biden with threat of nuclear war? >> no, no. trump stands, says, hey, stop doing this. >> okay. >> or you got to have a rattle behind a saber. >> right, which is? >> troops, but you don't want to do troops because then you have al

and could she be maybe the one tell the g o p move on from the maga politics without alienating trump space? maybe i think it's a little early to tell, you know, as i said, the earlier she, she has gone fully in both directions on, on this maggie base. and i think right now anyone that is out there preaching against maggie politics and what they're doing to the republican party is doing something good in my book. but, you know, as i said before, and so many others have said nikki haley can preach against mag politics all she wants. but in reality, nikki haley was front and center of mag of politics even just a few weeks ago in georgia. i think it was late november, early december when she was on the campaign trail for personal walker and she was talking about deporting sen. we're not that to me. doesn't say that you're trying to push against maggie politics that kind of says 0 diving of head 1st into my politics. you know, i think if she had stayed who she was in 2016, if you, you look back at her predictions. you know, as she was talking about trump and, and really she kind of underp

>> over in congress, the maga party led by marjorie taylor greene continued not to care about ukraine's independence. and what that might mean for the rest of the world. she also tweeted a call for parts of the u.s. to secede from the union. a little throwback to her state and region's confederate past. joining me now from kyiv is ali velshi host of velshi, also joining me, michael beschloss, nbc news presidential historian. both of you good friends of the show and of mine. ali, i want to start with you. i'm going to join nicolle wallace. i agree with whatever nicolle wallace says anyway, but i want to join her in commending your incredible coverage. it's been so personal and so moving. and you know, because i know that you have made a lot of friends there and talked to a lot of people, i wonder if you could give us a sense of how the president of the united states visiting today, how did that read in kyiv to folks you spoke with? >> thank you, first of all, for saying that. there's a piece of my heart that's here in ukraine after the time i spent meeting these amazing resilient people.

already since her announcement, we are seeing democrats coming after haley as this trump maga figure,ging up how she served in the trump administration. at the same time, trump supporters will see her as someone who left the trump administration but isn�*t trump. so she is too maga for the never trumpers and the democrats and she�*s not trump enough for trump supporters. will that work out for her? i�*m not sure. what is donald trump saying about haley�*s announcement? donald trump�*s spokesperson released a statement today referring to her as a career politician, saying she was aligned with big business. i think this isn�*t surprising. trump loves the limelight, obviously, he really doesn�*t like it when people that he employed, if you want to call it that, or people who served under him or he appointed, try to outshine him or try to take him on. we see this all the time with people who served in his administration and then released books and have turned on him, the former attorney general bill barr comes to mind, mike pompeo is another. so he really doesn�*t like it when people he t

>> bret: if you look at the speeches he's given and the maga republicans line and the extreme maga republicans to use that. some would argue they used it effectively ahead of the midterm election, that and the abortion issue to drive some independent and suburban districts the democrats' way. but this is a joe biden who traditionally has said i'm the guy that wants to reach across the aisle. i don't know if that message is coming out today. i bet we are going to hear how republicans are going to fight him tooth and nail and they want to cut your social security and medicare, something that speaker mccarthy has said is not going to happen. >> john: and we will see after the state of the union if he declares for re-election. which is a real question. tonight on "special report" you have senator joe manchin. >> bret: i do. and an op-ed, something about the debt ceiling that will be newsy. >> sandra: nice to see bret, we'll see him tonight. alleged financial crimes against alec murdaugh are front and center, what an executive from his former law firm revealed to jurors today. merrill. so no matter

and and they work to receive r up the maga base and do knowing. h.r. 29, the so-called border safety and security act would end the asylum program in america. rejects the idea of returning people who have a well-founded persecution back into the arms of their oppressors. republican colleagues are refusing to support it. they are calling it anti-american. there are many things we can do if you set aside the myth and disinformation. we hope to be hearing to give a chance to search for bipartisan agreement rather than another missed opportunity by committee republicans to join with us to conduct meaningful oversight. and this will extend the long pattern. for years, republicans and the committee refuses to do oversight over president trump. they were silent in 2019 when u.s. customs declared a crisis. they refused to join with democrats that risked thousands of little children and sent them away. some would wish we forget some of the grimmest but people will not be fooled when maga republicans try to cry foul over the secretary and president biden's

. >> i think what matters here is the scope of the deception, not only of the maga base that believed that fox was telling them the truth and was elevating these people they internally believed as cooks and liars, but the damage they were willing to do to the country as the climate fox built led to january 6th. he primed his audience for weeks and weeks knowing it was a lie he allowed tucker and laura and sean and the rest of the clown show to go out every night and generate more anxiety and fury with the maga base, which led to the moment they were primed like a powder keg on january 6th. moral culpability is not something rupert murdoch is familiar with. >> emily? >> i think murdoch's trying to have it both ways. he's saying the numbers were the numbers on election night. in other words, we knew that joe biden won the election, but also admitting that some of his hosts were endorsing a lie about the election results. the standard in a liable trial is, did you knowingly put on false people lying? and it seems like he is saying that he knew, and he's the ceo of the company. he's stuck

he can't not go after maga super republicans, and that's a balance he's going to have to strike in the. these job numbers are fantastic. i don't think there's any getting around that. state of the union address always benefits the president. >> he always, though, does a great job of -- talk about ultra maga, that is the fracture in the republican party. there are many in the republican party who actually agree. that tactic is more about moderate republicans and independents. what the congresswoman said is so important because there's internal polling that also shows -- i'm leaning ahead to why this is important for 2024. republicans tend to do better on who you trust on the economy. one of the things we're seeing is the more people learn and understand these economic numbers, they trust democrats more, they trust joe biden more. so it is -- absolutely he should tout that economic record and continue to do so because it does matter. i think we're also going to hear him talk more about the caring case, disability care. that infrastructure is not where it should be. and i think he talks a
