michael steele, former chair of the rnc. all of them are going to help us break down what we just discussed here. we are we're going to start by talking, rick, is there anything wrong with the president of the united states trying to sweeten the deal a little bit? he's saying doral is a great place. he's going to include wi-fi and free satellite tv for world leaders when they stay there. joking aside, though, why is this so bizarre that you have a world leader, the leader of the free world pitching his real estate property as a venue for a g7 summit? >> there is something called the emoluments clause of the constitution which the framers created so that presidents of the united states could not benefit monetarily from the decisions and actions that they're taking. i mean, in fact, it's so bizarre because everything trump has done on the world stage has always been partly about kind of feathering his own must literally and figuratively. every single thing has been about, in part, what can benefit his business. and the fact he

. >> michael steel, for republicans right now, in terms of the top of a ticket, president, vice president, which combination worries you most? >> look, if the election were held today there's no question that joe biden has the best chance to both take back those northern midwestern battlegrounds so the president narrowly won in 2016 and help down ballot democrats in places like north carolina and georgia because of his record as the vice president under barack obama. he should help with turnout in those states so right now, if the election were held today it would be joe biden. at the same time the election is not for a very long time and the

michael steele, really quickly, we focused on republicans an awful lot.ome troubling things coming out of the democratic race right now. >> yeah. >> so elizabeth warren and kamala harris tweeted out about ferguson, talking about the anniversary of michael brown's murder. and they did this despite the fact that eric holder and the obama justice department both said that unlike eric garner, unlike trayvon, that michael brown was not murdered. and they had dna evidence and it was eric holder himself who came to the conclusion along with the justice department that while there was systemic racism in ferguson that in that case the hands up don't shoot narrative was a lie. i'm surprised that kamala harris and elizabeth warren despite all that were still talking about the quote, murder, of michael brown. >> yeah. it's kind of playing into that narrative that's on the street right now, particularly when you're doing the combination of a baltimore situation where there's intense racism coming from the federal level and the white house and how people are feeling ab

charlie great to have you, come often and michael steel you as well always. >>> coming up, under the, new photos show north korea is building a submarine that could be capable of launching ballistic missiles. what that means for tracking threats throughout the region. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. >>> there's alarming new evidence from satellite photos that north korea may be building a submarine capable of launching ballistic missile that could make it impossible to denuclearize the peninsula. these satellites appear to show inf infrastructu infrastructure. there's no indication a test is imnent. this according to analysis provided to be inning news by two national security experts. these photos appear to confirm reports from north korea last month showing kim jong-un inspecting what state media then called a newly built submarine. victor cha, former director of asian affairs in president bush's in the security council and who provided nbc with the satellite images and analysis here, and ambassador wendy sherman from undersecretary of affairs and msnbc glo

i'm taking on china on trade. >> divine appointment, michael steele.escribe divine appointment. where does that even come from? like where does it come from? >> well, we know where it comes from, but here is the wrurub. with all that power, he still has a problem governing. so this is what is really an mating the conversations inside the administration right now you. there are two reasons why these leaks are coming out. the first is to send a message to trump, houston, we have a problem. you have things close to home that you need to think about and it is not just about the base that you have actually contracted. but it is about how republicans are now beginning to respond to you. and secondly, i think that it is a way of also saying that there is some space now emerging to the president's right believe it or not for a possible challenge. when you look at the potential run for someone like a joe walsh, who can make the case of authentic conservatism if you will, you know, that was in place before trump, and certainly someone like a mark isn't fo sanfor

in the experts to help us break it all down, mark murray, senior political editor at nbc news, michael steelenior adviser to jeb bush and spokesman for former speaker john boehner. michael, i will start with you. if you were in the republican war room right now, what race are you watching on that map closest, which one concerns you the most? >> arizona is probably the race i'm watching the most closely. march that mcsally is a great senator, built a great record. mark kelly has had trouble explaining his position on issues, he's had trouble explaining some of his business dealings. that's a battleground for the presidential race. it's a state that is trending blue, and so that's the gop held seat that heim' most worried about right now. >> arizona, for michael steel. mark, in first read this morning, the gold standard of political news letters you called these two georgia senate seats a "peach of an opportunity." what do democrats need to do to win both of them? >> craig, you showed four states, and essentially for democrats to be able to win back control of the senate, they have to run the

i'm joined now by heidi and an msnbc contributor and michael steele rejoins us as well. >> to all of u, who is the democratic street fighter that michael moore is dreaming of? he suggested michelle obama. i can promise you that she's not running for president. >> this is the process, is to figure out who that person is. >> was that person on the stage either of these two nights? >> we may be getting more questions than answers. i guess i'm with the conventional wisdom that biden did okay. but to the point that michael moore is making, i don't think he answered very specific questions about whether he can far with trump. you look at some of the reactions from the democratic operative class and it's a bubble, of course, but a lot of the questions are is he on his feet enough, did he look old. those are aesthetics. maybe that doesn't matter. but to michael moore's point, does the candidate have the energy to do so. this is a process. obviously we'll see how it plays out. but i think we are sitting here with more questions than answers. >> i think 2016 is reinstructive for the democratic

michael steel former adviser to jeb bush and spokesman for john boehner. l senior director for progressive programming on sirius xm who worked on hillary clinton's campaign. good to see you both this morning. michael, what do you think? does walsh's entrance into the race change anything? >> i don't think it makes it less likely that president trump will be the nominee of the republican party in 2020. there are two important facts here. one, every incumbent president who has failed to be re-elected in the modern era faced a primary challenge. every incumbent president that has been re-elected in the modern era did not. president trump now has two primary challengers and i think is likely to get a third in the form of mark sanford. i think this is a sign that there is a portion of the republican party that still wants a sane, rational, honest, inclusive, conservative, reform minded republican party and they do not see themselves getting that with president trump as their nominee. do i think he is going to win the nomination? no. do i think it's an important

anne gearan, michael steel and neera tanden are all back here with me.p where left off with our last 2020 conversation. it seems to me that really democrats are grappling with just who can beat donald trump. we use electability as the code word. there was a sense after elizabeth warren came out with that dna test in the early campaign there were some early stumbles that showed she couldn't beat the president. now the focus has been on joe biden because he has been so at the top of the pack. he recently has made a number of mistakes, small or large, depending on your perspective on this. let's show kind of how this has unfolded the past couple of days and why we're suddenly reading a lot of stories about joe biden's gaffes. >> we choose unity over division. we choose science over fiction. we choose truth over facts. poor kids are just as talented as white kids, wealthy kids, black kids, asian kids. i watch what happened when those kids from parkland came up to see me when i was vice president. if you agree with me go to joe 30330 and help me in this fight

michael steele, you've run the republican party before.publican party's way if donald trump is at the top of the ticket. >> yeah, it's going to be very hard, joe, for the president to sustain the races beneath the presidential campaign. the house with a deficit of 30 some seats, with retirements now on top of that, the senate while a lot of people don't believe it's in play, with the right alignment on the democratic side, that could change. so i want to ask the congressman, and it's good to see you again. it's been a long time since 2010 and the battles there. but you do raise a very interesting point revolving around your candidacy, and that is where you began talking about the kind of constitutional conservatism, fiscal responsibility, some of the more traditional values of the party. could you sort of walk through what changed for you that flipped the script to see someone like trump in 2016 as a better solution for the nation. not the party, for the nation. and then now as you look at your own presidential bid, look at that ideal and

michael steel, that's looking at this article from, maybe about electability that some of the democraticint, how do you assess this field right now in terms of their ability? >> i think elizabeth warren is running the best campaign on the democratic side. she does the bests connecting to results. she's doing the smart things with reaching out to establishment voices within the party, while also maintaining that left-leaning, the nonaggression pact she has with senator sanders, is brilliant. i think from the president's point of view, though, he would love for face any of these three. he think that is joe biden is past it. he has a long senate career, and questionable ethics issues. he thinking elizabeth warren is a preachy college professor, and thinking bernie sanders is an old man yelling at a cloud. people with a fresh faye and new perspective to -- >> the sander/warren nonaggression pact, you can't see that coming to an end somewhere quickly. >> as the person who broke that story, i think it's been overg-8ed. what happened was when they first met in january to talk about the fact the

joining me now to discuss this disturbing news, former congressman steve israel and michael steele, former chair of the republican party and msnbc political analyst. steve, first to you. you know congress so well. is this fear, 55% now really worried about white nationalist mass shootings. is this fear going to do anything to impell congress to act beyond perhaps red flag laws? >> i hope it does. i wish members of congress would pay attention to the very alarming statistics. andrea, the fbi director testified to congress a few weeks ago and said in the third quarter of this fiscal year, the fbi made 100 international terrorist-related arrests and an equivalent number of domestic terrorism arrests, the vast majority related to white supremacy. the southern poverty law center has told congress there's been a 30% increase in hate groups since the inauguration of donald trump and the adl, an die defamation league has told congress there's been a significant increase in anti-semitic crimes, 2,000 anti-semitic assaults in 2018, the third highest on record. now, it would be unfair to say that don

michael steele, you're a gentlemen.nd the president is not. >>> up next, are we seeing a shake-up at the top of the democratic primary or a recent poll showing a virtual three-way race, actually an outlier. i say outlier. wait until you see the real numbers for the bigger poll just out. you're watching "hardball." g "h. balanced nutrition for strength and energy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. ensure, for strength and energy. and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. whyou should be mad that airports are complicated... he's my emotional support snake. ...but you're not, because you have e*trade, whose tech isn't complicated. it helps you understand the risk and reward potential on an options trade. don't get mad. get e*trade. and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu & doug with this key to the city.

michael steele, amber phillips, thank you both for taking a few minutes. we'll be right back. >> reporter: before we go tonight, we do have a few reminders. you can watch us any time you please by downloading the msnbc app. the show is also available as a podcast. there's no reason ever to miss a single edition of the 11th hour. that is our broadcast for this thursday night. thank you for being with us and good night from msnbc headquarters in new york. >>> good morning. it is friday, august 30. ie ie i'm ayman mohyeldin we are looking at hurricane dorian. the storm is getting stronger. it intensified to a category 2 overnight. right now, evacuation orders are in place. the entire state of florida is under a state of emergency. we are going to go live in just a minute. for the latest track, we'll turn to our

michael steele, this whole thing completely astonishing, not least because of the victims of this man have a lesser shot at justice. >> i don't necessarily want this man to live because he was a good person or deserved -- deserved a long and happy life. but we needed to know what he knew in order to provide some measure of closure to the civil litigation, to his victims, to the list of prominent individuals who had been linked to him over the years, many of whom had a shadow of suspicion over them for quite some time based on their dealings with him. >> how is this allowed to happen? >> i'm not an expert on prison policy when it comes to suicide watch. i have read the statistics about prison deaths, vis-a-vis suicide, and it is a uniquely american problem. it's a scandal in its own right. so there is a scandal here. the scandal is not necessarily when the tconspiracy theorists want but it may end up being, who knows, it's how we handle prisoners and what we do and why we can't prevent more of these suicides. to michael's point, i feel for the victims here. they deserved their day in c

michael steel i'm going to start with you. jeb bush went off on twitter. as we're focused on this crisis at hand, by the way the world is on fire and we have a president that has no interest in playing fight fightrefighter on that. apparently jeb bush sees the same thing. >> is this hemlock? this is the world on fire. trump promised chaos and he's delivered. that's what we're looking at on every issue foreign and domestic, the world spinning out of control. i think that is a serious challenge for the president and it's a serious challenge for our political system that will have to operate around this person as commander in chief. >> i don't know if our political system can handle, how much more it can handle. >> i'm in the work of voter registration of encouraging participation and when people say our government is broken, our encourage people to say what happened last november. we had the most diverse set of americans going to the voting booth. we had the most diverse individuals in a hundred years casting a ballot and on january that beauty of what our p

he's in congressman king's congressional district in iowa, also former inc chairman michael steel, alonghairman donna edwards. josh, let me go straight to you. let me get your thoughts, first of all, on what congressman king's constituents are telling you about these latest controversies. >> reporter: frankly, ayman, they're tired of this. they're tired of hearing steve king's comments and having to deal with how it reflects on the state for them. we just sat down with a group of guys who have breakfast every morning together here in fort dodge, iowa in the heart of steve king's district. they talk about politics and a lot of them had voted for him in the past. we asked them, what are they going to do. let's listen to that. how many of you have voted for steve king in the past and how many of you will vote for him again in the next election? none of you. nobody is willing to vote for steve king anymore. and for you, sir, you voted for him. what changed that for you? >> just his inappropriate comments he's made recently. >> reporter: is there anything he could do to win back the vote of y

joining me now, the former senior adviser michael steele and democratic strategic joel payne. me begin with you a moment. it begs the question why the trump campaign would want to focus on states he lost in 2016, in particular, those four. >> well, of course, both democrats and republicans have a few state that they're fighting for. states like wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan, states that trump won closely in 2016. and republicans are deciding to move beyond that, in the case that they lose one of these states that trump won narrowly in 2016, they decided to focus on other states that trump lost in 2016. and a lot of this is because of the rnc's great data capacity. this is something that republicans just told axios, they're really depending on it. they're hoping to use the rnc's data mechanisms to really target voters and encourage them to come out and vote for trump. encourage republicans already in these states who they think can be won over and encourage them to come out. and they think by using the state and strategy, they may be able to flip the states even though t

michael steele, and amber phillips, reporter for the "washington post" political blog.e ask but this. i'm not sure writing a letter to the supreme court, what you're expecting the supreme court to turn around and do. i'm going on read this as a politically motivated action. let's try to decipher what it is. is it trying to offer motivation potentially to what they call those reluctant trump voters? folks who might like republicans more than democrats, but don't like donald trump? >> sure. it is a way, i guess, an idea to sort of put something in front of the court to say, we take this very seriously. this president has been very successful at putting two conservative justices on the bench. and i think for the base, that is certainly a big kudos for that. so this is a remind per republicans rthing about the court as they have been, as you know, for is well over 20 years. the democrats are late to this conversation. and of course, they're coming to the conversation, talking about, we want to add five independent seats. that's not what this is about. this is about whoever

from the inside of congress former spokesman to house speaker john boehner, michael steel, and formeradership aide joel paine. is this a moment something has fundamentally changed in the public psyche to the extent it's going to put the pressure on congress to do something? >> it absolutely should be a moment. >> should be or would be? >> should be and time will tell if it will be. democrats and the progressives and the left, we won the culture war on guns, right? i mean there's kind of no doubt about it. it's a 90% ish issue in terms of background checks. it's a 60% issue in terms of banning assault weapons. so like the results are in here. what has not happened are democrats turning this into the a voting issue. you saw some powerful appeals you just showed there this weekend from yang and harris and others. joe biden talking stridently about banning assault weapons. are democrats actually going to use this as a hammer to punish republicans, not just try to whip up democratic energy but to actually punish republicans who affectfively stop any attempts to reign in gun control. i thin

here to talk about all of this, michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee reporter for "the washington post's" political blog "the fix." michael, let me ask you about this. i'm not sure writing a letter to the supreme court what you're expecting the supreme court to turn around and do, so i'm going to read this as a politically motivated action here. let's try to decipher what the political motivation is. is it trying to offer motivation potentially to what they call those reluctant trump voters, folks who might like republicans more than democrats, but don't like donald trump? >> sure. i mean, it's an idea to sort of put something in front of the court to say, you know, we take this very seriously. this president's been very successful at putting two conservative justices on the bench and i think for the base that's certainly a big kudos for that. so this is just a reminder that republicans are thinking about the court, as they have been, as you know, steve, for well over 20 years. the democrats are late to this conversation. and, of course, they're coming

michael steele? have decided when polls should have been -- should they have said, hey, we are going to make sure all the early states are going to have a relevant poll within the debate? >> i think that would have made it a lot more sense. you still avoid the problem or the perception that you somehow have the finger on the scale. and i think that again is a lesson learned. i applaud tom for doing the bold thing against a lot of inside consternation about the process. but i think there are still some good lessons to come off of this as you look at future presidential primaries. >> you know, anne, it's interesting, this looks really messy right now. and michael bennet complaining. it's very possible we will look back and say, well, it was a messy summer, but that was '19. >> and nationally the democrats are counting on that that, you know, all these names that have -- they couldn't get 1 is and 2% very quickly fade from the scene and by the time the country is paying attention as we get long into the

i'm joined now by sam seder and michael steele, msnbc political analyst and former chair of the rnc. sam, the president had a rally again tonight and it was insane for me to see not wrongly the news cycle, will the racist president incite the mobs at his rally to chant racist things tonight as a story that was really sort of an open question. >> yeah, well, a legitimate question. you know, i think my answer would probably be probably. if it's not going to be tonight, it will be in a week from now or two weeks from now or three weeks from now. it always gets back to me to those who have enabled him, really enabled him. and, you know, i think he's been able to tap into something, but i think it was there on the -- just below the surface. look, this has always been with us. lyndon johnson knew this was going to be a problem 50 some odd years ago. but i think we're also in the late stages of like a change in the country where there are actually people, white men, frankly, who are losing social status and i think they're also under a significant economic pressure and the social status is

washington bureau chief for usa today, jonathan swan, national political reporter for axios, michael steele, former rnc chair, juanita tolller at the america for progress action fund. juanita i want you to start. what does this smell like to you. >> it says immigrants, if you want the american dream, get it before you come here. >> come with money? >> come with money, come with education, oftentimes come with pale light skin. >> tell me about the skin part. >> i mean, trump has said repeatedly one african nations are shit hole countries but he would welcome anyone from norway. this is founded racism from the trump administration. >> jonathan? >> you're are from australia. >> how do you hear this yourself as a person? >> i mean -- >> needy people. >> it's not like they've been particularly subtle about this. this has been stephen miller's singular obsession for two and a half years, this particular regulation. the law itself has been on the books since 1880s. it's never actually been properly clarified. >> what does it say? >> it talks about a public charge, about people basically causing a

michael steel tried to make a push. you saw what happened to him.rd and others are frustrated. when you look at the tweets of the president, the silence of the republican majority. in the senate for example. and the those in the house. it's hard to standby if you're someone who thinks that every american has an tount succeed and we should have the same rights in the country. to the last point i think that again this is what we should talk about in the debate. people take i away healthcare. and talking about my home state of maryland and baltimore being a disgusting rat infested city and meanwhile not giving help to the cities. i think that's what the democrats should focus on and that's why you're seeing republicans start to step away. they are throwing their hands up and especially the swing districts i can't win anyway. >> john, can democrats capitalize on this and strengthen their hold on the house in 2020? >> of course they can. all the republican resignations are an opportunity for democrats. they have to be playing the politics of addition not

as a republican who's worked for eric cantor, the former african-american rnc chairman, michael steele, i'm really troubled by not only the rhetoric that comes from the president every time he talks about race but how accepted or at least ignored it is within the party. >> wajahat, let's talk about what we saw in el paso and the president's response to that. "the new york times" is reporting on a manifesto that was posted online that says the killer wrote that he was, quote, simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion. so this word "invasion" and then also this idea of replacement theory. invasion is something the president has used over and over. fox news has used invasion and also this idea of replacement, that democrats want to replace republicans with people who will support democrats. is there a connection between the president and these ideas? >> yes. it's very important for people to know that the entire replacement theory and the word "invasion," specifically the invasion of immigrants is a white supremacist conspiracy theory. dona

one of the memphis death nets and if you do you will for you bet michael steele to show his support of. me who also wholly i mean. they've already in the in the. infant with and with the nothing in the us now something. in the something of the kind of cool to be any alum of did little some of them or. even prison was the 1st step in trying to take this city if it lived. in another aspect of that too was a man of prisons and they wanted to release a lot of torture executions happen in these places since many of the political prisoners. rather sit in the neighborhood of a. saudi. or the habit of thought it was your. goals as you measure. yes. i do. and he gave me the set don't measure did no good so if it also. a smaller. one that he said he but. his seat 7. 102 pull back on the. mall. so i think. more so that's. going to look only showed mobility. the hope for. mason of late but to them fell from a dog that i thought he was somebody. else if you just said the horses shake zip. they all told you. to talk to the tail is a skill that haidar. all apologies that is why they may not. met an a

and michael steel the former chairman of the republican national committee, msnbc political analyst.ennifer, you're on satellite. and you made -- you did something that many people in your shoes talk about doing quietly, maybe talk to their spouse about doing but feel uncomfortable doing which is sort of going public with your concern about donald trump. explain what kind of blowback you've gotten going public on something like this. >> well, first of all, thank you for having me here. i appreciate being part of the conversation. and certainly i've gotten some blowback, especially from within the tightest circle of the republican party. but in general the response to my comments in my leg of resignation has been overwhelmingly positive. but i have been somebody who has been publicly opposed to this president before he ever got into the race. i first went on the record against donald trump in april of 2011, and i have tried to be articulate and clear and principled about my opposition to him ever since. >> what do you say to fellow new hampshire republicans that i'm sure you've had co

. >> i want to bring in michael steele who served as spokesman to john boehner. michael, let me begin with you and get your reaction. the politics in all of this, over the past couple of days if you take what mitch mcconnell has said about possibly making some movement forward, the president coming out saying he is open to background checks, he has the support at least he sees it politically to do something like that, do you think this is a window of opportunity? are we repeating things we have said in the past similar to parkland where nothing got done? >> we have a window offen opportunity. the nra endorsement -- the nra is in turmoil. they have a choice to make whether they will fight like a cornered badger or work with the president to get some sort of sensible changes enacted into law. the nra endorsement matters in republican primaries. the only thing bigger than second amendment support in the republican primaries is support from the president of the united states. support from president trump. if president trump gets out and is clear and consistent on the

michael steele is in washington, not iowa or south carolina. and former adviser to the 2016 hillary clinton campaign is here as well. i have a question for you. garrett made a point. disconnect. the story. yeah, listen, voters are saying, listen, whatever. not a big deal. >> i'm from south carolina, the place that will decide who our next democratic nominee will be. and the one thing that i hear consistent on the ground is that the reason people love joe biden is because of his authenticity, genuineness and honesty. and him being able to relate to everyday people. if you're an everyday person, we make mistake when we speak things. there is a big disconnect between washington, the media. every time the media wants to write the ben tkebgz ediction t candidacy he gets a little louder on the campaign trail. i will just remind people, particularly democrats, we have seen this before in 2016. that was the same ammunition republicans used to taint hillary clinton in the general election. the things that democrats tried to define her by we can't trust

michael steele tried to make a push at it. you saw what happened to him.ink will hurd and others are frustrated. when you look at the tweets of this president, the silence of the republican majority in the senate, for example, and then those in the house, it's hard to standby if you're someone who thinks that every american has an opportunity to succeed and that we all should have the same rights in this country. and so i think you have people just saying i can have a bigger impact on the outside. but to the last point, i think, again, this is what we should talk about in the debates, people trying to take away health care. people talking about my home state of maryland and baltimore being a disgusting rat infested city, and meanwhile not getting any help to those cities. so i think that's what the democrats should focus on, and i think that's why you're seeing republicans start to step away because they're throwing their hands up and saying especially in these swing districts i can't even win anyway. >> john, can democrats capitalize on this and strengthe

michael steele, i was going to say weigh in on that as someone who has watched the president for allars. >> he has no interest in fulfilling that role. he'll go in front of the cameras and say the right thing reading off the teleprompter. the minute he gets back to twitter, the minute he gets back to his comfort zone, it's just like where he is. he stokes division, that's where he's most comfortable. just as contrary, you see joe biden the most comfortable when he's going head to head with the president on a moral issue. >> is this an opportunity for the vice president to stake his claim to this issue and get past the 1994 crime bill criticism? is that too much for him to hope for? >> no, i've long thought that there are elements of that 1994 crime bill that the former vice president should embrace, the violence against women act was part of that. the assault weapons ban was part of that. as a way to move forward. i think what we saw yesterday was a contrast between somebody who was, in fact, behaving presidential, former vice president biden, versus the president of the united state

. >> in the run-up to the 2010 midterms, republicans like then national committee chairman michael steeleth their sights set on pelosi. >> of are we going to fire pelosi? >> the power center at that time wasn't with barack obama, it was on capitol hill. it was manifest in the leadership of nancy pelosi as speaker of the house and her ability to at that time corral the votes she needed to get obamacare, the affordable care act, passed. >> pelosi has grown into a power-hungry -- >> republicans across the country joined in with a barrage of increasingly vitriolic political ads, even portraying pelosi as a witch. >> i believe it's time to throw a little water on politicians who say one thing and do another, like nancy pelosi. >> come election day, it appeared the strategy worked. in a crushing blow, democrats lost 63 seats in the house. giving republicans majority control. >> she became a representation of all those politicians out there that weren't doing their job and weren't meeting the expectation of the people. and then had the arrogance to come at you and say, well now this is how we're

. >> for more, i'm joined by susan wall of pennsylvania, michael steel, former rnc chairman, and eli, white house reporter for the washington times. duel loyalty, craziness, this sounds like ed koch in the bad old days of new york city and the triable warfare. jewish voters vote 70% vote democrat. stop doing that, that would be disloyal to what, being jewish? your thoughts. >> that's exactly the question, disloyal to whom or to what, as a democratic screwish member of congress, i am personally offended and i think most jews in this country would be. we separate our faith and our politics for the most part, and to suggest that they are one in the same i find to be offensive. >> let me go to jonathan, my friend jonathan meachum because this is history at work here. often i find the older i get, i find history crashing into present time. this is awful stuff. this tells people, you must vote by identity, you must vote by religion, a certain way, your partisanship, your politics must be by your cultural background, blah blah blah, it's a religious test. you must vote a certain way. you vot
