[laughter] >> tammy: on your show just prior to the show the faulkner focus of course, i loved his line of all the magas that could happen i can't believe it's not maga. this is the disconnect. we see it all in what we have been discussing. detect between what they probably mock in their cocktail parties and they can't stand because it really is so good it's maga, that they then think that these going to work on everyone else. the fact is we are laughing, we are smiling, i wan

maga agenda.e are taking time to focus on that slogan former president trump popularized. we want to know what it means today and how would you identify the maggot agenda -- the maga agenda. democrats can call 202-748-8000. republicans call 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002. you can also send us a text to 202-748-8003. include your name and where you are from. on twitter it is @cspanwj. on facebook, facebook.com/c-span. a very good thursday morning to you. you can start calling in now. we are talking about the maga agenda. this following president biden's remarks is today which he calls the maga crowd the most extreme lyrical group in macon history. this is after the supreme court looking to settle the mississippi abortion case this is president biden yesterday. [video clip] pres. biden: this is more than just abortion this remind me of the debate with rob work. he believed the only reason you had any inherent rights is because the government gave them to you. if you look at the opening com

yet the maga republicans don't want to get the results. they're ossified in their opposition to any action on gun safety, no matter the cause of violence or the cost on families, nothing speaks to move them. yesterday, after beto o'rourke confronted the texas governor, the maga republican gave empty platitudes about healing and hope. he asked people to put their agendas aside and think about someone other than themselves. my god. how dare he? what an absolute fraud the governor of texas is. and this is the same governor abbott who tomorrow -- tomorrow -- will go speak at the n.r.a. convention in houston. governor abbott, will you ask your maga buddies and your n.r.a. pals to put aside their agendas and think of someone other than themselves? like you asked the families to do? will you ask the gun manufacturing reps, who will swarm over to the n.r.a. convention, to put aside their agendas and think about someone other than themselves? of course not. the governor, governor abbott, is more likely to outline some new plan to further loosen gun

if you are maga, you're not like oh, ultra maga. he got me. janine, how do you think this will play? >> jeanine: i don't think it will play at all. he said his policies have helped more than they hurt? where is the disinformation board when you need it? nothing he says is true. the all that maga plan. the fact that ultra is supposed to tee it up. you really hate maga, you really hate ultra maga. i spoke to senators. he said nobody signed on to rick scott's plan. that means nothing. it's never going to make the florida. mitch mcconnell doesn't like it. rick scott, the junior senator from florida, who cares? joe biden is caring his plans to nothing. what makes me crazy about biden is he says, we're going to plan to reduce the prescription drug prices. you are? do it. you have the house, you have the senate, you have the oval. when are you going to do this stuff? all he can do is sharpening the rhetoric to the republicans and everybody says gas is $4 or $5. nothing has changed. >> jesse: did you see anything different in the speech today besides

what did he call it, president trump, big maga? the king of maga?s having a good time being out trying to contrast and i think you will see much more of that and that i think will be helpful shopping for the public with the choices are. kennedy: we are going to miss our favorite propagandist. here's the problem with all of us, former president trump apparently loves maga king nickname. he loves it. so do his supporters and you're already making t-shirts, bumper stickers. is it possible maga king himself has backfired? party panel, senior policy analyst, i could reach over and pincher, inez stepman. radio host, number one and 14 markets, i don't know if that's true but sounds good. >> supermarket grocery stores. kennedy: it is jimmy failla. delivery activist and foundation for economic education, writer, olivia rondeau. surprised they let me in. i nest, this is a bad idea. i know jen psaki is trying to frame it as joe biden is so spontaneous and smart and creative, he comes up with wacky things out of nowhere. robin williams on 1984.

ultra-maga, extreme maga. i've got it. we'll yell maga until we get votes.hey are going to get the core votes. when you are polling around 38%ist is not because republicans don't like you, it is because everyone thinks you are mismanaging the country and maga won't do it anymore. >> harris: breaking it real. a monmouth poll released minutes ago shows republicans still hold the lead in the generic ballot. 48% of voters say they would rather vote for a republican or leaning toward the gop overall. 44% say they are or will likely vote for democrats. so this is the gap is widening now. it is no longer a tie. it is outside of the statistical -- it is getting worse for democrats. >> the reason why is they have focused constantly on perception over reality. again and again and again. every time we have problem it starts out with them saying there isn't one. border isn't a problem and inflation isn't a problem. when they're forced to admit it, it's not here for long and now it's maga. that's what goes on. any issue you want to throw at me. it isn't a problem until i

[cheers and applause] >> greg: i guess he knew you were on tonight, rob. why is it that this is the same mistake that hillary made, she's done this twice. why is it that they look at millions of people and decide to brand them as opposed to saying go after political leaders just what trump did? >> i think it's dangerous. first of all, i agree with the lgbtq kids should not be separated from villains -- whatever you said. they tried to spin it making these people terrorists, the worst they've ever seen. they can't win what the lockdowns, with this, whatever they come up with the next thing. right now, they're going to separate -- whatever they want to do, all they want to do's have the state vote on something. they're trying to get rid of this and they haven't learned that the only way they can win election is by cheating. they're not going to win by trying to divide everybody, divide and conquer. >> greg: it's all about the vision, dirtba

they put the maga software in and it sputtered and came to life and he got stuck. maga, maga, maga. latest example of a comment or smear. when everything about trump being mean or whatever, he went after the media. he went after politicians, celebrities, and even athletes. he never really -- i don't think he ever singled out a democratic voter or democratic voters. the salesman wants to get everybody. but the democrats -- the democrat leaders punched down. they do it into his, they smear millions of people are they chasing an individual down in the media whether it is for posting a meme or wearing a maga hat. but this is part of a larger trend, which is because the modern woke frames everything as moral or immoral when you are talking about religion, it's actually flip from the republicans of the 80s. the majority is now on the left. until there's -- he was able to explode without any breaks. nobody could come to the breaks, because the brakes or forgiveness. what are you seeing is an incredible flip. the democrats are less forgiving and more judgmental and the republicans are the o

biden: let me tell you about this ultra-maga agenda. it's extreme, as most maga things are.ctually raise taxes on 75 million american families, over 95% of whom make less than $100,000 a year. geoff: the new ultra-maga label and underlying shift in messaging, sources say, is the result of polling and analysis by democratic groups designed to pinpoint the best approach in trying to fend off republican gains in this midterm election year. by targeting so-called maga republicans, biden allows space to reach out to moderate republicans, while casting the trump-aligned gop as a threat not just to the economy but the american way of life. pres. biden: this maga crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed american history, in recent american history. geoff: for a closer look on democrats' shift in messaging, i'm joined by anat shenker-osirio. she is founder of aso communications, a progressive political consulting firm, and host of the podcast, "words to win by." it is great to have you with us. as i understand it, the ulta-maga label was the result of a

representative elise stefanik says she is ultra maga and proud of it.nk this will mean for both sides as we are discussing here? >> well, i think biden is probably right to try to draw a contrast with some of these really extreme maga types. look in tpennsylvania, gubernatorial candidate, doug mastriano, and this senate candidate, kathy barnett. they are oh way on the fringe and the democrats are salivating, hoping they are nominating because this the gubernatorial race, they will win. they will win a race and likely win the senate race, should she be nominated. so yes, anytime you get these candidates so far on the fringe and most of them aren't, by the way. but -- but in pep nnsylvania, i is like we could have a terrible double-nightmare scenario going into this election. while the wind is in the democrats' face and i disagree with paul a little bit. i have been to scranton many times. i don't think biden is doing so well up there in the county because of where they have been on the economy, especially with, you know, inflation. prices going up and su

the maga republicans excuse me, i don't want to mispronounce it. the maga republicans. it's time to grow the economy but from the bottom up and the middle out. because here's the deal: when the poor have a ladder up and the middle class grows, the wealthy always do very well. they do very well. that's what this is about. that's what this is about, everybody doing better. and so, i want you to understand again, first year, , $350 billion reduction deficit; this year, a trillion-five. it's going to bring some relief. thank you. i'll take a few questions quickly. >> mr. president, may i ask you a question about sanctions that -- about sanctions against or about further sanctions in europe. the european union today announced new sanctions against oil against russia. what's the next round for the u.s.? and also, on a separate issue, what's the next step on abortion once this case gets settled? pres. biden: no one asked about deficits. you want to make sure this doesn't get covered. with regard to additional sanctions, we're always open to additional sanctions, and i've been

maga means make america great again crowd. not really an offensive name. let's look what they did in the past. their leader donald trump accomplished a few things. look at nato. >> the clear message from president trump is having an impact. nato allies heard the and nato allies are stepping up. make tall nato nations live up to the defense spending promises. doesn't same that bad neese maga people are pen more extreme main thought perhaps on the southern border where i believe they believe illegals coming here illegally should be sent back instead of living here illegally. >> released male migrants in brownsville, texas. brian:er in against that let's go deep an on the -- on the maga agenda. almost he republican i speak to in the maga movement think women should compete against women in women's sports. >> another victory for university of pennsylvania swimmer lia thomas. brian: was once a man, still a man in many ways. i guess i'm getting ahead of myself. difficult finding a woman seems tougher than i thought. >> can you provide a definition for the word w

maga unleashed. in the polls has her maga party in a panic. the party that over the past several years has gone full trump. they have embraced his bombast, his lies, the division he fuels. that party. this may be hard for you to believe, but trust me here. they're finding there's a limit to just how maga you should be. her candidacy has gained momentum in very late days of the primary race. a fox news poll shows her almost tied with the other two front runners. one is trump endorsed dr. oz, the other is former trump staffer dina powell's husband, david mccormick. ms. barnette has jumped ten points since march. she's right there. it's almost a three-way tie. the problem is this, at least with the maga world. barnette is super far right, so far right, too right for trump, antiabortion with zero exceptions. she's an enthusiastic promoter of the big lie about election fraud, and this seems to be where they're drilling down in terms of her problems in maga world. she's tweeted homophobic and islam phobic

who came up with this phrase "ultra maga?" why the need to kick it up a notch? maga wasn't enough? why now use this phrase? >> i will tell you, it's the president's phrase, and the president made those comments himself just last week, as you know. i think what has struck him is how extreme some of the policies and proposals are that a certain wing of the republican party, that is taking up too much of the republican party, are for. to him, adding a little "ultra" to it gave it a little extra pop. >> kayleigh: well, it was a "washington post" that told us the real story. they said it was the work of anita dunn and other advisors. it took a focus group to come up with "ultra maga republican." it wasn't biden who invented it. >> kennedy: and you could tell he was reading a prompter when he was like, "it's those ultra maga republicans!" [laughter] it wasn't just something that given an extra corn pop, as it were. he did not admit that they are trying to do whatever they can to energize their base, which is growing incredibly depressed by the day. they are giving up on the president. re

by the way i like mega maga. >> carley: mega maga.der if he should try mega maga. >> carley: although, if you call anybody thinking of anything, that is great. >> i love the trump response that he put out "lord of the rings"? i love the fact that he did this appear to have fun with it. this is what we love. >> carley: you know what, what is happening is the president is trying to put trump, like you said, trying to put trump on the ballot and everything happening right now is maga's fault. but midterm elections will be a referendum on biden, not trump not from. >> he's trying to make it about that because he is losing badly. it isn't going to work because it's not working now. when you try to find your baby formula and you are driving your car that you just filled up for 80 or $90, your suv or whatever, you have to go to five stores. you are not the maga king. that is how we got here. no, it is biden's inflation. they are not taking it off of the gas pumps, folks. it is sad. >> carley: there is no gas. to pull up the car. >> todd: mea

anchors like tucker carlson, and in fact all maga republicans, and all voices of influence across the political spectrum, should not just -- not just condemn racial violence, and views like replacement theory, but further refuse to give these false and racist conspiracy theories a platform whatsoever. it is horrific to see that most on the hard right haven't done that to date. until we unite to stop views like replacement theory, stomp them out of existence, until we ban together to call these vial conspiracy theories what they are, white supremacist propaganda, we cannot find closure to the attacks like the one we saw this weekend in buffalo, new york. and communities across the country, especially communities of color, will continue to live in fear that at any moment they may be targeted by violence, just because of who sherry beas, former justice of the northbeas, carolina supreme court. >> -- ♪

the maga republicans. i don't want to mispronounce it. the maga republican. it is time to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out. here is the deal, when the poor have a ladder up and the middle class grows the wealthy always do very well. they do very well. that's what this is about. that's what this is about. everybody doing better. so i want you to understand again first year $350 billion reduction of the deficit. this year a trillion five will bring some relief. thank you. take a few questions. >> a question about sanctions against -- about further sanctions in europe. the european union announced more on the oil of russia. what's the next step on abortion once this case gets settled? >> president biden: deficits,. i'll answer those two questions. with regard to the additional sanctions we're always open to additional sanctions and i've been in consultation and i'm speaking with the members of the g-7 this week about what we'll do, number one. number two, what was the second one? >> abortion. >> president biden: as i said when i -- when this hi

ultra maga. listen, he is doing this attack in a way to demonize the trump agenda by saying it is aligned with white supremacy or misogyny or things of that nature. but the trump agenda is more popular than trump himself. you can look no further than some candidates like fully embody the trump agenda and are doing well. j.d. vance from ohio two days ago. >> carley: exactly right. >> joey: that is trump agenda is that popular because it is a populist agenda, which is a playbook out of the democrats hands. >> carley: i think there are people in the biden administration and the white house is trying to clean up the comments the president made yesterday. listen to this. >> he has been struck by the predecessor on far too many members of the party. while he has always worked in good faith, will continue to work in good faith on addressing issues the american people have. but he will still call out where he sees extremists action and extremist rhetoric. >> carley: the president made that comment talkin

>> let me tell you about this ultra maga agenda. the ultra maga agenda.ssor, the great maga king. >> i call it the ultra maga plan make america great again plan. >> jesse: ultra maga president biden is pretty proud of that one you can see probably because he came up with it all by himself. at least that's what jen psaki told me last week. >> i will tell you it's the president's phrase and the president made those comments himself just last week as you know and i think what it struck him is how extreme some of the policies and proposals are that a certain wing of the republican party and so to him adding a little ultra to it gives it a little extra pop. >> jesse: turns out jen was loying up until her last day at the white house. joe didn't come up with ultra maga. instead "the washington post" is reporting that team biden paid a liberal think tank a lot of money to craft the attack line. and after six months ultra maga was the best they could come up with. yikes. a lot of time and energy for something that didn't really pan out. republicans have largely em

the great maga king.ulations, joe, you selected the one nickname that trump will gladly have. >> he loved it. he tweeted about it. what is your thought about this? [laughter] >> first of all, president trump is the king of nick names. you cannot outdo the king of nicknames when it comes to nick naming him. i am sure that they will raise a lot of money off of this. ultra mega which is how joe biden has tried to portray his followers over the last week sound like something like a beer or drink for the summer for everyone on team maga. the drink of the summer for all the maga king's excited to out and have a good time. not a great decision by the president, but i think a funny one that they will certainly endorse on the maga side. brian: unintentionally. thank you president biden for that. great to see you. have a great weekend. >> thanks brian. brian: coming up ahead on one nation. cash, cars and luxury items. how the landscape of college sports is changing before our eyes. first, we try to unite america. d

listen to this. >> the other path is the ultra maga plan. it's the ultra maga agenda.em to control the republican party now to have been able to control the republican party. >> martha: you've known former senator and now president biden for many years, former vice president pence. what do you think of the man that you see on the screen and hear there? >> well, i think yesterday's speech was more about this false elections. they're grasps for straws, martha. this administration has done more damage to america in 1 1/2 years than any presidency in my lifetime. we weakened american on the world stage, we've emboldened our adversaries with the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. beginning with the $2 trillion covid bill passed on a partisan basis over a year ago, they ignited inflation that even today still remains at a 40-year high. gasoline prices, that's what i'm hearing about all over the place. martha, one of the nice parts about not being vice president anymore is i get to drive my own car. one of the bad parts is i get to pay for my own gas. gasoline just hit a

let me tell you about this ultra maga agenda, it's extreme as most maga things are. it will actually raise taxes on 75 million american families, over 95% of whom make less than $100,000 a year. among the hardest hit? working families, kids with folks. imagine if you're a family of four and don't make enough money to have federal taxes, because you don't make enough money to pay. you pay all your taxes and don't make enough. and under this new plan, this tax plan, the ultra maga agenda, while big corporations and billionaires are going to pay nothing more, the working class folks will pay a hell of a lot more and it goes further than that. this extreme republican agenda calls for congress, this is, i'm not making this up either. you've got to really think about this, it requires a vote, if it were to pass. every five years, a congress would have to vote to reinstate or eliminate social security, medicare, and medicaid. social security, paid in for the whole life, and has to be reauthorized, has to be reauthorized every five years. it's hard to make this up, and then

. >> let me tell you about this ultra maga agenda. it's extreme, as most maga things are.y raise taxes on 75 million american families. over 95% there is no reason that a billionaire should be paying a lower tax rate than a teacher or firefighter bid that's a sharp contrast to what today's republican party is offering. i don't want to hear republicans talk about deficits on their all trout maga agenda. i want to hear about fairness, i want to hear about decency. i want to hear about helping ordinary people. >> greg: he believes his plan is rooted in fairness and decency. has he gone outside? everything that's come from this administration, from debt forgiveness to anti-cop mentalities, the pro-crime, it's unfair and indecent. >> dana: every time he said the old trust maga agenda. i must've done very well and the focus group so you will hear it a lot. let's see if they get better at delivering that message. when biden talks about the economy you cannot help but the things he inherited. he inherited about a million vaccines out the door a week there that was pretty good. he

it's extreme, as most maga things are.t will actually raise taxes on 75 million american families, over 95% of whom make less than $100,000 a year. among the hardest hit, working families, kids with folks. imagine a family and you don't make enough money to have federal taxes, because you don't make enough money to pay them, you pay all your taxes but you just don't make enough, and under this new plan, this tax plan, the ultra maga agenda, while big corporations and billionaires will pay nothing more, the working class folks are going to pay a hell of a lot more. it goes further than that. this extreme republican agenda calls for congress -- i'm not making this up either. you have to think about this. requires a vote, if it were to pass, every five years congress would have to vote to reinstate or eliminate social security, medicare and medicaid. social security, something seniors have paid in for their whole life and it has to be reauthorized? has to be reauthorized every five years? look, again, it's hard to make this u

i want to know what an ultra-maga is. he just tosses it around like these are people that we should know or it's a concept we should know. >> kayleigh: yeah, it's from the movie "the incredible hulk" the ultra-maga. no, i'm joking. it sounds like that. however, this was the brilliant idea among democrats. apparently they got in a room and pulled the term according to cnn. they liked the term and anita dunn is one of the people that came up with it. the chief of staff tweeted out biden advisor anita dunn is rejoining the white house after helping outside allies devised a new scheme hitting maga republicans. democrats haven't had a coherent story about the g.o.p. we weren't looking for this message but it found us. that aside, welcome to the twilight zone, folks. that's what we just watched on a fake white house set. that's what that was. you had a president totally aloof from the american people. it's the twilight zone when he said enormous strides, fastest decline in unemployment in the history. we're on the mend. on the

they did you ultra maga thing. how stupid? >>. it is ridiculous like they grasping straws we do want to make american great again we remember when it was great we were feeling good about our lives when it was great. and just add in hark on what you just said biden administration just cancelled one largest oil and gas leases that we have and they have done just yesterday. and then, going hop on twitter complain how gas prices are still high because dmrags and putra. it is not our fault we can't take accountability so in american people's hand we need to turn around and force them to take accountability for the lives they created for us. >> and i think federal worker staying at home tells you everything you need to know along members of congress. great to see you both tonight. >> we have moral obligation top stands with ukraine there is now only one thing holding us back. the junior senator from kentucky pre developmentsing swift passage of ukraine aid he simply saying my way or the highway. >> well thank god for ran

and brand new maga extremism is dangerous. >> under my predecessor, the great maga king, the deficitnt. i never expected the ultra maga republicans who seem to control the republican party now to have enabled control of the republican party. this maga crowd is the most extreme organization existed in american history, recent american history. >> let's bring in someone who knows a little bit about messaging, former communications for hillary clinton's campaign and also a cnn political commentator and co-host of signal boost. so nice to have you bright and early this morning. the president is really drilling down on this message. he is trying to frame it as maga extremism. is he too late? >> no, i don't think that he is too late at all and i think that it is very important to talk about how extreme the republicans are especially now just a week after we learned that they want to take away -- of well, we learned that they want to take away our right to decide when and whether we would become parents. but we did learn exactly how close we are to this precipice. republicans have also made
