plus, trump and maga say it all the time. america first.s in it for the theater. i'm ayman mohyeldin. let's do it.

i'm sure you had dated maga supporters.d what that is like. >> i don't know, as a conservative woman, i haven't had many problems dating people because of my political views. but i also don't think there isu an issue dating someone with may be different slight views as you. i'm not really sure. i haven't had much experience with that.itdone >> jesse: have you ever dated a liberal guy?>> >> i haven't. >> jesse: know, okay, i think that sums it up. what is it with politics and h dating? why does it have t bo be such a big deal? >> i am not sure. i think nowadays, things are super polarized. so, there is a stigma with theer media ife' you name one side, y can't associate with the othero. and romantic relationships are seen that as a branch help from my hometown from different people.. but with the right people, p people with good character, iter does not matter what w side you lean on and they will still associate with you. you think youdo and your y younger friends are voting for donald trump? >> i just agree that if more of

the maga verse has severely demonized these people.ere is a difference between full on maga voters and a lot of other types of voters who voted for donald trump because of reasons, you know, and they're not hardcore maga types. and i think for a lot of those people, the notion that the world that not that not the world, they their personal safety is being compromised by the incompetence of donald trump and elon musk. that's the thing, right? you've got to find the places where there are personal consequences for people in order to make them care. they are not going to care about a nameless, faceless, even though the name is now public because they've accidentally leaked it, they're not going to care about those people. that is hard to make the american people care about, but they care about their own safety and security, and they do care broadly about the competence of their government. if you can demonstrate that what's happening is, in fact, deeply incompetent. and i think that when you talk about guardrails, look, there's not a lot

the maga people may not care, but the maga people, a lot of moderate republicans and even some democrats came together to form the coalition that elected donald trump this time around, largely because of prices. there are a lot of people who voted for donald trump who do care. and that's the important point that i think the trump people need to really start thinking about. i mean, i know trump is not going to run or well, he says he may run again, but he can't. um, but when they look at the midterms, i mean, this is something that the american people, especially those swing voters who will make up the difference in the midterms, really will care about. >> it's the economy, stupid. no, but the other point, you stupid. >> but yeah. no, absolutely. >> that's what exactly people are going to vote on because midterms are around. >> the corner. but i. also think subverting justice is going to be a big thing with the lame duck. >> he doesn't care. he's not running. he might be, you know, somehow bequeathed the office again in some kind of way that we can't even think of. now. trump doesn't care

the data rinse i hear coming from maga supporters. i'm sorry, maga supporters. you think you know all this history. i'm sorry but you don't. you watch what happens with this. not only that, trump wants us to practically pull out of nato. that is what kept peace for so many years in europe. that is crazy. that is insane. we can't have that. trump, he just thrives on ignorance and anger. ignorance and anger. the united states -- i never dreamt in my life a president of the note states would give up everything to a dictator -- united states would give up everything to a dictator like putin. please wake up, people . host: chevy chase, maryland. republican line. jim. caller: good morning. i'm tired of these democrats calling up. trump does not want us out of nato. he just wants those countries to pay their fair share. i love what trump is doing. he's in there a month and has done so much on all these issues that are so important. the border, taking care of the wars. in terms of ukraine war, i feel the solution would be to have russia keep the land they have occupied

but they have to keep quiet out of fear of retribution from the maga extremists. we only need 3 republicans with the courage of their convictions to join our efforts to protect the american people from this extreme and illegal overreach. today they're illegally gutting usaid, which prevents china and other adversaries from expanding their influence, but tomorrow it's your health insurance. the next day it's your mother's social security check. this is not what the american people voted for. the taxpayer data protection act will rein in the corruption we're seeing at the white house and put an end to this chaos. turn it over to leader jeffries. >> on topic questions. >> thank you, mr. leader. can you help me understand how this connects to the bill that you discussed with leader schumer the other day? is it the same? is it -- could they complement each other? can you just help me clarify how this bill connects to what you, -- >> yeah, it's our expectation that leader schumer and senate democrats will introduce a companion bill shortly. we believe that the unlawful

these women won't date maga supporters. i'm sure you've dated maga supporters. tell the people who don't understand what that's like. >> i don't know, as a conservative woman, i haven't had many problems dating people just because of my political views. but i also don't think there's an issue dating somebody with maybe different slight views, as you and i'm not really sure, i haven't had much experience with that. >> have you ever dated a liberal guy? >> i haven't, no. >> okay. i think that pretty much sums it up. what is it with politics and dating? why does it have to be such a big deal? >> i'm not sure. i think nowadays things are super polarized and so. and there's also a stigma with the media. if you lean one side, then you can't associate with the other. and friendships and romantic relationships. i've kind of seen that as i've branched out from my hometown and met different people. but here with the right people, people with good character, it doesn't matter what sign you lead on, they'll still associate with you. >> why do you think you and some of your

blm black lives matter must take a knee to maga. they must learn their place.onservative woman who was running the heritage foundation, needs to learn her natural place and take a knee to maga. so this man has named black people liberal and conservative, including pro-trump republicans, and said these black people need to learn their place and that competent white men must be in charge. if you want things to work that guys at state, any issues with that? >> well, and not just. >> that. he's at. >> state, but i believe he's being nominated for an undersecretary of state position. you know, meanwhile, he is somebody who has said that that the uyghurs, the atrocities against the uyghurs in china hasn't happened. he is somebody that talked about how, you know, we shouldn't be getting involved in supporting taiwan. you know, this is something that we see just across the board. and when trump is talking about or elon musk is talking about, you know, we need to make sure people are rising up when it's based off of merit. you see that? that's absolutely not what their

and the maga movement has legal scholars in it.damentally transform the way the american republic is ordered. they want more and more and more power to the presidency. of course, that's a decision that they could come to hate the next time there's a democratic president. but they're not thinking that far ahead in this moment. they are pressing and pressing and pressing to give trump more power. >> that's exactly what i was thinking. he's not going to be president forever. who exactly wants this, michael, what's your take on this argument? >> i david's piece is fundamentally important to read if you. >> want. >> to get. >> what you were going to say there. >> right. he said like fundamentally. and then there was a pause. i'm like, i'm not sure where we're headed here. >> no, it's. >> fundamentally important. i mean, because it goes to some very basic things that we don't we have forgotten about our constitution, about the formation of this republic, about why there was such angst, about the creation of the presidency in the first pl

and we have every indication from these governors that anyone emboldened by maga pardons, who thinkse 50 states, will find a different result and no pardon pending. we also have a new attorney general that says they will not only go on with trump's agenda here, but they want to target federal and state prosecutors who pursue those cases. notice that is exactly the power i told you about protected in the constitution. and now within the first days of office, they are trying to go after the states and those state powers. although we don't have any reason to think the supreme court would look kindly on that kind of blatant political abuse of federal power. and our country braces for the real threat that comes amidst all of this. but even these freed maga felons, who probably benefit from the most extreme and irreversible use of federal power trump has done in these few weeks. they can only get help for those federal crimes, meaning actions against the feds are in dc and the vast majority of the country. federalism empowers the states to run the prosecutions and any potential pardons. an

and this is not a red maga thing. we've seen this all over the world.'ve worked with here that you probably know. so she is our colleague, but she's made a lot of evidence based arguments on this. rachel maddow has been covering this, including from an international perspective, and she's written books that track this history and before the meme coin and before some of the details i just reported for you right after trump's victory, she wrote, this happened to be the new yorker magazine she's talked about in her coverage on her show as well. quote watch your wallet. if history is a guide, it might be worth remembering. america's most ambitious and accomplished demagogues have also been crooks. does seeing the facts and learning from history help? there's a lot of signs that it actually does at times like this, and we're going to get into it with a special to get into it with a special guest to my son, i've never been the cool dad. i always wanted to know what he's up to online. but with tiktok's privacy settings being on by default for teens under 16, a

that's not a new maga idea. the question is how do you it.you still believe that in the law signed in 1960s that congress has to sign off on any changes to usaid or do you think can ma president trump can make this happen through executive order? >> those examples that you gave of historical figures, the difference is now the job is going to get done. it's going to be 99.99% of cents on the dollar actually go towards what it's intended. >> you are talking about -- >> that's going to -- >> efficiencies and aids versus restructuring. let me ask you about that. >> that requires restructuring had 100%. you can't wish it into existence. you have to restructure where the failures are. >> of course. what we are hearing from many aid organizations and officials is that can you restructure after you finish the review and not freeze funding now immediately? i spoke to former usaid global health head yesterday. he said this isn't a pause in foreign aid, it is demolition of usaid. you can't pause a flight in midair, he said. that's what's happening. this

, but give me a maga with a brain and a moral compass. mean, trump could appoint anyone he wanted to his cabinet, but picking people who had real personal trespasses, people like like mr. hegseth, he initially picked mr. gaetz, both of them credibly accused of criminal acts, picking inexperienced people, mr. patel and others. what what would that look like in your view, if again, if a if a sort of check on those kinds of people being in control of the military and the department of justice and the, you know, internal police, as you write in your piece, if that were happening somewhere else. >> yeah, absolutely. >> because i. >> think that. >> to. >> me is one of the things that has. most stunned me. i mean, over these past two weeks and of course, over the last nine years is the way that congress has just. failed to stand up for itself as. >> an. >> independent and co-equal branch of government. that was it. particularly over the last couple of years, we've seen so much. >> activity by the. >> supreme court actually saying, you know, that

that's not a new maga idea. the question here is about how you do it.you still believe that in the laws signed in in the 1960s, that congress has to sign off on any changes to usaid or do you think president trump can just make all of this happen through executive order? >> so all of those examples that you just gave of those historical figure, the difference is, now the job is going to get done. 99.99% cents on the dollar goes towards what it's intended. >> you're talking about -- >> that's what's going to happen. >> efficiency in aid versus restructuring. let me ask you about that. like i said -- >> that requires restructuring 100%. you can't create that efficiency just by wishing it into existence. you have to restructure where the failures are and put the right things in place. >> of course. but what we're hearing from many aid organizations and officials is that can you restructure after you finish the review and not freeze funding now immediately? i spoke to former usaid global health head yesterday, and he told me this isn't a pause in foreign ai

it's a maga comeback story. and if you skip over the part where he was fired for speaking at a conference attended by white nationalists, and if you ignore the smattering of racist and racially insensitive social media posts that he's made, here's a brief rundown of what they are, courtesy of cnn's k file. quote competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. this is what he said in october. and then there's these from 2021 where he says black people should kneel before maga and that they should learn their place in society. that is a quote. and believe it or not, one of those people he was talking about was tim scott. so i don't know what was going on there. >> they could have nominated this guy to be some kind of cabinet secretary. that's so old. 19, 2016 or whatever. look, we're in a whole different time now. and what i'm getting at is that donald trump just pardoned 1500 white nationalists. white nationalists like folks that are out committing crimes every single day. i get tired of my repu

but tell me, how are the maga moms feeling feeling about rfk jr. getting confirmed? just shows the power of us actually using our voices and i think that is something that covid in 2020 opened our eyes to. parents, and one in general but specifically the moms, we realized that if we want change, we need to speak up. and i don't know if we have ever seen in history, really, a group of women collectively come together, use their voice and demand change. they were the powerhouse is behind this movement and a huge movement hind trump winning. i'm on cloud nine, i could not be more excited. what school as well, is that i think going into this as a quote, unquote, crunchy mom is i was excited for the awareness. but i think trump has come out swinging and we are going to see a lot of action very quickly. >> jesse: a crunchy mom? is there a difference between a maha mom and a crunchy mom or is it the same thing? >> we all just want to seek taken out of our food so whatever category that is, that's me. >> jesse: we'll need labels patel mekai how tickled are you to see the med

he is speaking for the maga base. literally i've had members of congress say, look, you know, you do have to worry in this day and age. you have to worry about your own safety as well. it's not just the primary factor. >> yeah. and guys, i was on the hill last thursday during that day where they had hearings all happening at once for kennedy and patel and tulsi gabbard, and they're talking to congressional aides. the thing is, it's about the math. what's so hard for these republican senators is being that one vote who can be blamed? it's hard to be that fourth vote. if you are assuming that collins and murkowski and mcconnell, who showed a willingness to defy trump, are going to be three. now, tulsi gabbard's case. susan collins didn't even get there. but we know there are some other republican senators who have real concerns about her. we're watching todd young from indiana as well. but the issue is it's so hard to do it. with four. and these aides were saying what they would really need would be to a bunch of senato

great piece in the new york times by our friend david frenc, in his op ed on affirmative action for maga's cure for dei isn't a true meritocracy, but rather affirmative action for the maga movement. providing preferences for populists might be a natural consequence of trump's political victory, but is not an improvement on the status quo. i noted in our last hour that dei is the new n-word today, the way it's being used by a lot of folks in maga space and in this government. how do you see this assault on the telling of the story of african americans over 400 years? segregation, integration, ultimately advancements economically, all of these all of these storylines that do level up the meritocracy that they supposedly want, but they deem to be insufficient because it has a black face or a brown face attached to it. >> yeah. >> it's really. >> unfortunate because we know that diversity in every workplace has endured to the benefit of the united states of america, that we can speak to the world as a result of the diversity that we have in our nation. we need to maximize on all of the talen

and so this is another way to advance maga principles, maga ideology through the arts. and that's, i think, why he cares so much about the kennedy. >> well, you certainly see it historically when you look at places soviet union, et cetera. arts and culture are so central. and, lauren, you know, we have heard the words golden age, which is why i wanted to put that out there first. we've heard them a lot from trump. he's used them in many contexts. here he is isn't that a beautiful phrase? >> the golden age is the golden age of america. we're going to have a great country again. the golden age of america has officially begun. >> so lauren is mondaire the former congressman, right when he is saying that when he is using the word golden age and talking about arts and culture, now is is a crucial code for trump to try to control culture, right? to have culture be part of what comes from his administration. >> no, i think that trump is a branding guy at heart, and this is something that he has been saying on the campaign trail. you just ran this through. he is termed his seco

so going forward, no prosecution of anybody involved in maga. can expect. >> all right. please stick around. we've got worst of the around. we've got worst of the week. coming up next, artif (♪♪) some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. duke versus unc. what a storied rivalry? like you know to check your outfit first before meeting your girlfriend's family. that's a tough one to recover from steve. the disappointment on their faces says it all. uh-uh. yeah, checking first is smart. yeah. so check allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. you're in good hands with allstate. it's clinically shown to open airways quickly. get the number airways quickly. get the number one fda approved [ serene music playing ] welcome to the wayborhood. the wayfair vibe at our place is western. my thing, darling? shine. gardening. some of us go for the dramatic. how didn't i know wayfair had vanities in tile?

and i interviewed bannon about on this about two months ago at a at a maga conference in arizona.d this off the record and that was that. musk has his own power base, which which is the quarter billion that he spent to help trump the money that he's pledged to support trump loyalists in primaries in 2026, and also his his huge following that he has on his social media account. so getting into a fight with musk is a little bit trickier for trump than getting rid of some of the stooges that he's gotten rid of in the past. i mean, trump has a lot, or musk has a lot more power than corey lewandowski or some other random trump staffer who flew a little too close to the sun and then got fired. so i think it's a trickier situation for him, but i do think it's going to bother him and that that tensions will continue to grow. >> okay, i guess you're saying that elon musk is no icarus. but thank you, my friend tim miller. it's good to see you. it is a simple question with a not so simple answer. what would mass government layoffs do to the government layoffs do to the economy? that's nex he

when the fires exploded in los angeles, maga rushed to blame di and the president spent days insulting and threatening california leaders. and if you want to look back even further, perhaps the most clear example was his handling of the covid crisis. he spent weeks reading from the same playbook of blame and insults when america needed a steady hand, and in this case, when families are still grieving, when some of the people that he's blaming, by the way, are lying in the potomac river. this is where he starts. and it is about deflection, because it's not really about addressing anything that has to do with this issue. it's about flogging this hobby horse. >> yeah, it's it's odd to me and sad to me to see someone who's supposed to be providing leadership and comfort to the country, placing blame before the investigation even begins. so, you know, no facts. bodies are still in the river, and you're saying that di is to blame. first, you talk about someone else who was president, what, eight years ago saying that the the administration at faa was too white. and then you say we need compe

vance also spent this week advancing the maga agenda abroad. he had some tough love for the europeans on valentine's day. >> so i come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. and just as the biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds so the trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and i hope that we can work together on that. in washington, there is a new sheriff in town, and under donald trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square. if american democracy can survive ten years of greta thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of elon musk. >> remember when kamala would complain that her assignments were too tough and she was being set up for failure? that's not happening anymore. back at home, america is on track to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 25 years, and putting the biden numbers to shame. look at that. but the media is trying to spin trump's wins. they sa
