america pac is a new super pac in the organization is they say focusing on getting people to vote early and request mail-in ballots in swing states. the largest known donation ahead of the 2024 election is a 50 million dollar donation given to a separate super pac that does support trump. the journal also reports that america pac has made almost 9 million dollars in donations and 3 months. the tech businessman musk originally wrote on x or twitter in march that he was not intending to donate to either trump's or biden's campaigns. meanwhile, elon musk announced on x today that he's moving. that company x formerly twitter out of san fran1isco to austin, texas. musk says his decision was due to governor newsom signing ab 1955, which prevents schools from telling parents if their kids identify as transgender musk tweeted about the san francisco office saying, quote, have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building and quote, he's also moving spacex's headquarters, which she also owns from los angeles to starbase texas. >> white house wants to

what happened quickly, just as you talk about the cbc pac, the hispanic pac and the asian pac, all ofy coming out to endorse the vice president, it is also because we know the vice president ahead of the ticket will in what we call red blue states, we will turn a district from republican to democrat automatically, those candidates are getting a boost. what we call the front liners, those in districts that we must win to gain the majority, they are getting a boost. it is happening and the excitement that you're seeing and feeling is happening all over the country. this is a good time, actually, to be alive. you have an individual who just shows complete disrespect for women, that is donald trump. he is an individual that lost the civil suit for assaulting a woman, you have seen and heard his words what he think of them when he was in that video talking about what he does to women, he selected a vice president who you heard, his conversation and how he disrespects women. we have seen a supreme court that erased a woman's freedoms to choose for her own medical healthcare. the best person

most candidates would prefer to take the pac money. in terms of how a candidate gets on at the state level, a lot of that depends on state to state. the constitution says the states basically control their elections. there are those various tiers of when a candidate kicks in as when they can go on the ballot, how many signatures they need, what percentage they need to be involved in debates traditionally, although that is not a hard and fast rule. it is very complicated. i agree, a lot of it is a lack of education. i can certainly learn more myself, as well. but just understanding the basics of how our government works -- i understand why -- but they are often angry at the wrong person, thinking certain people have the power to control something or not. so i think we need to do a better job of educating our citizens, increasing civics education, may be simplifying it a little bit so it is easier. host: a good follow-up on x. lindsay chervinsky is the executive director of the george washington presidential library at mount vernon. >> o

so my caution to everyone, watch his actions, not his words, because he's starting a super pac.his platform that he purchased as a vanity project to perpetuate the same things that he abuses and accuses other people love doing, and then he causes the just dramatic, harmful behavior to his own children, and i'm grateful to vivian for speaking up and out against this harmful behavior that she has endured for years. >> ameshia, let's talk about vivian 's vivian is now a college student. she's never given an interview before but she did tell nbc news that she felt compelled to speak because, quote, if you're going to lie about me, like blatantly, to an audience of millions, i'm not just going to let that slide. what's your take on this? go her, no? how brave! >> absolutely. as a cautious reader of his commentary, he analyzed his daughter. anybody who was reading that wouldn't have been able to walk away with the fact that his daughter was still with us here on this earth. he made it seem like this woman was no longer here. so to have her step out and say, no, i left him. i have noth

maybe it will go to a super pac, but remember, money to candidates is more powerful than the super pacndidates get to reserve tv time at a lower rate than a super pac. >> john: i want to ask you a quick question about tonight's speech to accept the nomination by former president trump. rose kessler from claremont writing in "the new york times" at this, "at the convention for 15 new promising rhetorical situation. his acceptance speech thursday night presents a political rebirth, magnanimity may not come naturally to mr. trump a close call with mortality can change one's perspective as ronald reagan admitted after his close call in 1981. it will be hard for mr. trump's opponents to run against murder for democracy on the ground he is a danger to democracy. nonetheless, they will try." think about that in terms of the president's speech tonight and where do you think he will go? >> i will tell you i think it is along those lines. i hear the president say unite more than ever before and not thinking about a party, but thinking about a country. i talked to the president the day after that

. >> i think as we watch all of these different caucuses, it's also noticeable the fact that bold pacich is the campaign arm of the congressional hispanic caucus, as i know you know, just came out this morning in endorsement of president biden's re-election efforts. that's something that his campaign chair was touting this morning on "morning joe." it is a sign that while that caucus might be by and large behind him, that is also a place where, unlike the congressional black caucus, where we saw immediate and full throated support for the president, the chc took a little bit more understanding. and my understanding and reporting is there was a little bit more dissension in their ranks around the idea they would knee jerk, come forward, and continue to back the president in the aftermath of the debate performance a few weeks ago that really touched all of this off. it's been a rolling wave here on capitol hill. i think many people looked at this past weekend and the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president trump and thought maybe these efforts would be quelled. maybe

of corporate spending and that's citizens united style spending, not to be confused with corporate pacsch is a different monster. that's a lot of money in my world. if you think about the meeting income of the average american it's around $31,000 a year. they will never see $1 million. they they will never see anything close to it. so i think one of the impacts of all of this big spending, and some of does come from rich billionaires, is, is demoralizing to the average voter. they think that their vote doesn't count. they think it is a rigged game, and the more that there's this huge amount of spending, the more they feel that vote is devalued. i think it's really dangerous because i think as francesca said, democracy is really fragile. >> floyd? >> one thing is that there is not a huge amount of increased spending after the citizens united case. i mean, that has not been the reality, that the -- to run a national campaign cost vast amounts of money. the two parties get that money and spend it promiscuously, but spend it. they get some of it from very wealthy people. the parties appear
