and host of the michael steele podcast.an't wait to be on there some time very soon. >> yes. >> you just heard what he said the toxic atmosphere at fox, to me, explains kind of what they're like on air. it kind of explains the kind of nastiness. it explains the misogamy because it's happening behind the scenes as well. but it also kind of really honestly, michael, explains a lot of what's happening in the party because republicans -- that's all they watch on capitol hill they're watching that, too and they're taking that in as a way you should act. >> you raise a very interesting point. for me, what it speaks to more directly both at fox and within the republican party, is permission they are given permission to behave this way. as the lawyer just noted, the environment there was toxic. it was misogamy. it was gross well, that environment allows -- is allowed to exist because the higher up starting with the owner of the company reflects that back in the way that they go, well, you know, it doesn't affect me. i don't think t

, msnbc politica analyst former rnc chairman an host of the michael steele podcast. >> this isood. >> look, i understand thes numbers where it says 70% thin that president biden shouldn't run for president, but i a sick of that question. i'm just going to pointed ou there. i am sick of the question. the man is president of th united states, why do democrat always do this, april? >> i don't know, you know, a the end of the day, it is no about the man. it is about the message. let's look at that, right? when people are upset, sayin he should or should not run, why should he run? the message is there why should he run? i'm not sure about the message biden, i have said this, and i even said this before, wha about your image, you know maybe you should wear thos waistbands every time he wears those ray ban, people go, oh wow. he's young, he's fresh, an they want to hear his message. but you know, when he says, can tell you about those ray ban's. but at the end of the day, his image, his message, you know that is something that w democrats have to work with. he is doing what they want

feed it. >>> we are back with former rnc chair michael steele, who also backed joe biden for presidentampaign welcome back, sir. >> good to be with you, ari. >> we went through the math, which i think is striking. whether you love joe biden or you oppose him, a lot of people respect him. we see in the polls. he certainly is facing a pretty noticeable disapproval rating. and recently, the last 21 months, he hasn't cracked 50%. i guess my question to you tonight, is this something his campaign has to work on if they launch next week, and it is useful to look at the fact that other presidents, obama a classic example, did really crack 65 plus percent unity in the first perm, is that something to shoot for, or are those days over, michael >> i think there's a clear delineation between the before trump period and the after the post trump period. i think -- i thought your analysis coming in nailed it that this is a new political landscape. i've been charting and noting this for a while, that voters like the stock market, like a number of other indices that in the past were very reliable. if

former rnc chairman, michael steele, former senator claire mccaskill is back, and i start with you michael steele, i guess we could argue it was going to end like this in early 2015 when we urged republicans not to take this path, but here we are >> here we are yes, a lot of us warned, you know, and waved our arms and flailed about trying to say that this is not only bad branding for the gop but it is bad politics for the country and we've watched over the last seven years the complete and utter disintegration of a once great party, and this is the gop right here on your screen. the head of the party on its way to be processed as a criminal defendant. and the party leadership silent and when they do speak, it's just to reinforce their fealty to the man if i can take a moment i'm annoyed that we're watching this unfold this way because donald trump is in his car loving every minute of it. because at the end of the day, we're talking about him. it's still all about him he's going to go back after this process tomorrow and talk and rail and incite more noise about it it will be covered, and w

either of them i think would have the public's backing in doing so >> yeah, michael steele, i'll giveblic sentiment. the difference is -- permitless carry is like a 70-30 issue. abortion another 70-30 issue the difference is clarence thomas may be held in high regard by the conservative legal community but that community is more distanced from mainstream american thought including mainstream republican thought than at any other point in modern political times what do you think the sort of opportunity is for durbin or senate democrats to hold some oversight hearings >> i think the opportunity is h high the politics are ripe from the democrats' perspective p because of -- as we've seen with dobbs and the outflow from that in kansas city special election, et cetera the public is paying attention, nicolle, and they are very much aware. and they know despite what people may think about our public, the public by and large know the various stair-step roles and responsibilities so they understand the supreme court is an end point, it's not a beginning point. so these cases that flow up to the

let's bring in former republican in national chairman michael steele and sam stein michael steele, five donald trump. and exclusive nbc news reporting says that desantis' team had reached out to members of florida's congressional delegation, to try to keep them from endorsing trump and now the congressman has joined in. what does this is a about his support back home? >> it is not as strong as he thinks it is you're believing e ing a lot ofe media hype about his viability against donald trump when he's not shown the capacity to actually take on donald trump. let's keep in mind, this is not lost on these members in the caucus, that when donald trump was indicted, what was the first thing that ron desantis did? he went and defended him he went and lent support to trump. that says a lot about where the power center still remains inside the gop primary process and look for more endorsements, not just out of florida, but around the country, which will make this harder for someone like desantis who is trying to shore up support among, you know, the high end donors, and that to get them on boa

michael steele?hed the whole thing because a lot of the stupidness on the internet, thank you, elon, is people saying, did you see the whole thing? i said yeah, i watched it. i watched the whole thing. i watched the dehumanization process, the degradation. but when you got to that part where she went after her as a mom, you questioned her motherhood, regardless of how she came into it, because women, and men, come into parenting in a whole lot of different ways. it just struck such a raw nerve for me, as an adopted child, to think that a margorie taylor greene could look at my mother and say she's not a mother? well, you know, you need to shut the you know what up and step back. because motherhood comes from the heart. it's something you do. it's an expression of love, discipline, all the things i said. for me, my party that sat here and railed for years about the value of the family, to watch this classless act, and these classless words being thrown at someone, because you disagree with them politi

friends, writer at large for the bulwark tim miller is here also joining us former rnc chairman michael steeletment of african american studies at princeton university tim, michael and eddie are all msnbc contributors but maya wiley's here too. she's a former assistant u.s. attorney, now the president of the leadership conference on civil and human rights maya, this isn't about covering these stories. because we're safe, right? we're covering the worst day of someone's lives. the day that no parent or spouse or child gets over, if their mom or dad or baby dies in a mass shooting in america. but the clip is so frequent now that if we plan a show about the reaction to mass shootings that show is sometimes interrupted by the need to cover another mass shooting, as it was today. they're happening more and more and more and more and more and the republican refrain is unchanged. they now say out loud, they're out of the closet now, as being for doing, quote, nothing. there's, quote, probably nothing we can do is the current republican position. on mass shootings in america what do the rest of us do

. >> so, i'm going to leave the snide michael steele off the table for a moment and be the good analyst here and say that tucker knows he's full of it because at the end of the day, we have your own text messages to your colleagues that tell us how much you hate this man and how much you hate doing apparently what it is you have to do to sustain this narrative around donald trump and that the quicker he goes away for you, the better off the network is and the better off you are so to now sit there and have trump in front of you and then to have this sort of lead-in where you're talking glowingly about the man you purportedly hate -- not just hate, ari, but hate passionately -- again, becomes a problem in a courtroom. we in the public can look at that and go, oh, this guy's a full -- don't take him seriously. and you can dismiss it but in front of a jury, in front of a judge that is -- guess what's they're there for to judge your credibility and to judge what you're saying in the context of this lawsuit. i don't know why they would even think to put this on the week for a trial where all

michael steele joins us, forme maryland lieutenant governor a msnbc political analyst. charles coleman, a civil right attorney and former new york prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. holly, you covered this. i just went through it wit justin let's lay it out three state representatives, all protesting hand in han together - to wear black man, one was a white woman. did she do anything differen based on your reporting that would keep her in her position and keep these men out >> look, there is no coincidence that this happened in the state where the ku klux klan was founded i think that tennessee has bee backsliding if it ever left it racist history i think it is just now the nation is seeing this. gloria johnson did not d anything any difference. there was pretty obviously a racial component to this compulsion it was not just the fact tha gloria is a white woman. it's also the fact that she wa defended by two white male attorneys who are themselves former members of this body. they fit in. they fit in with this body o people who were then voting fo the expulsion. frankl

, former rnc chair, msnbc political analyst, and host of the michael steele podcast i will add to that sea of people who are super angry about trump's viktor orban, the prime minister of hungary, who tweeted support, keep on fighting, mr. president, we are with you donald trump can count on viktor orban, as well as the american viktor orban in florida. i want to go to you, joyce we finally did get an answer to the question we kind of didn't know the answer to this is when cy vance said on "meet the press," the reason there was no prosecution of trump on the state charges that he's now potentially fashing, because again, we haven't seen this indictment, is he was asked not to by the doj. and that they were asked to put on hold. let me play it one more time this is cy vance talking about what barr asked him to do. >> we learned from the southern district of new york that they asked us to stand down and by stand down, i mean they were communicating that they had this ongoing investigation and they wished that we put our efforts on hold while they completed their investigation. and so for

michael steele is not allowed to come to any republican, you know, party reindeer games. they don't want him they don't want anyone who does not espouse the tribalism of titus the trump insurgency in the united states. and to answer question he made a very good point of that it's the energy these people you're right. some people may come into it because they're anti factors. other people may come into it because they believe that aliens are coming and that donald trump is a hero rescuing children from pedophiles and, saving them from having their blood drunk, which is all of these are qanon absorbed all these. but when i say the republican party, i mean the republican party today, this minute. okay, wendy rogers level republican party. all right. as i like to say, crazy a capital k. all right. and you know, but they have moved so far away from conservatism right to pure tribalism. why just don't change the party to the trump party in name is beyond. you have now the same people you have the ron desantis of the world and others who are espousing trumpism, which is a full,

chairman of the republican national committee and msnbc political analyst in very high esteem, michael steelet, right? you have trump trying to prove his innocence in new york, at the same time trying to campaign in iowa and new hampshire, the carolinas in february, how does this play out? how do you even try to maneuver something like this? i know all of this is unprecedented, but give it a shot >> look, ali just kind of put the context in place for us. it is a split screen, and the screen where trump is trump. he's going to do whatever trump does, you know, if it's swinging from the branches today, he'll swing from the branches today. if it's, you know, hunkering down in the bunker at mar-a-lago tomorrow, he'll do that. so he's going to do his own thing. the problem is how does the party respond to that. so all of these other issues that may come up, whether it's georgia or the january 6th process, all of these other litigation and legal issues he has, he'll just deal with them he'll just get that victim hood going on, and it will rally the base around him and tighten the strength that he h

we didn't talk, michael steele yet about ray epps who was o 60 minutes last night.urse all of the problems with the lies tha were spread around january the 6th, and particularly th supporter of donald trump wh went on 60 minutes last nigh to say this guy is destroyin my life. >> yeah, it's interesting ho some of these narratives are kind of turning around now, an that warm is trying to figur out some fresh ground, a opposed to the ground it's currently stuck in i don't know with any of thi works. i think, to andrews broade point, with respect to a fox audience, they're all in i many respects. and, yes, some may follo tucker if he goes to newsmax but there is a brandin relationship there that both trump and fox have been able t bring together so, i don't know what, i mean, you hear those folks now who are all up to trump, supportin the lies, pushing thos narratives, suddenly now finding, you know, having that come to jesus moment, an realize, oh, this guy struggle for the party. some of the folks i've talke to, who were in that space they're saying, okay, so what' th

story, also with me, "washington post" deputy national editor phil rucker and former rnc chairman michael steele, both phil and michael are msnbc political analysts so so natasha, you heard the governor he said no decisions have been made what are your sources telling you? >> that's partially true in the sense that one thing that our reported showing yesterday that there was a lot of internal debate in desantis world over the launch date. we were getting told that, you know, some people were settled on may 11th. others said that was way too soon what four sources told us was definitively that he was going to dip his toe into the water, jump into the fray in mid-may. that could look like an exploratory committee fist, and then that followed by a full launch of his campaign and you know, as you said, there has been a lot of pressure on ron desantis right now to get into this race, really start throwing some punches, being able to hire up in the way that he should be, being able to push back appropriately on some of these attacks by donald trump. i mean, right now we have a super pac doing that, bu

i'm right up there with michael steele. former chairman of the republican national committee not allowed to any, any events that they hold. they don't consider him a republican. a feel the trump republican party should change its name. there was a movement they had a couple years ago to change the name with the symbol of the lion as the trump party. and that would give the non-trump republican as home. it would at least give them a place they could self-identify. i am a gun owner, i'm a responsible gun owner. many people who are out there now in this branch of the party, the dominant branch of the party, the trump party, they really like to brandish a concept of using their weapons. and i represent several times in my book there was one gentleman who said, when can we start using our guns? they don't keep them as avatars any more. it's almost as if they want to create trouble. and i also say this to my african american brothers and sisters, the one saving grace we have in this country that keeps that from happening is that

and michael steele, this is a fight over gun violence. about race i mean, is it credible that they expelled two young black men and not the white woman they were together in all of this. and the, that they are as color blind as they say they are >> they are not color blind. it is all about race at the end. she nailed it, representative johnson nailed it when she said she was a 60-year-old white woman, of course they didn't kick me out. she was on the floor she protested. republicans will say she didn't use a bull horn. okay that's the standard, so the difference between not getting expelled and expelled in a protest on the house floor is whether or not you use a bull horn it's just laughable. basically what these individuals have said all right, boys, to these young men, remember your place and we're here to remind you of it. and what tennesseeans have to look at, certainly those who live in the two affected jurisdictions, is the cost to them they now because of what republicans have done have to spend money to run a special election that

garrett haake, thank you so much and joining us now is former rnc chairman, michael steele what do you of ron desantis, is he governor scott walker >> that and then some probably look, you know, i'll just go on the record to say i'm not convinced he actually pulls the trigger on this in 2024. >> could save face. >> it could save face. i think the reality of now eleven members of his congressional delegation making their choice in his face effectively, especially since he just met with them here in washington is not a good way to launch a campaign. certainly the trouble at home, whether it's disney or floods or, you know, red alerts at 4:00 in the morning, not good look, the governor was absent when the flooding hit. and those things resonate in ways that often get translated by those around you. congressional delegations. state house members, et cetera, who are hearing from their constituency that they're not happy. so you have all of these things that kind of bubble up around this race, and the ultimate question is do you have what it takes to go head to head with trump? are you prepa
