now the trump party? and how do you turn the corner from that? i have sort of asked this question, but she framed it more succinctly. when the former president still out there promoting the conspiracy theory about the election, and there's an entire ecosystem around him that continues to push that, and there are so many people in the leadership who are accommodating that, i get your point and agree and with your point that part of the pivot has to be the policy, that is how you turn the corner. the policy is getting drowned out by that. so, how do you, and your party, those of you who agree, how do you you make sure that you can push past that, when so much of the oxygen is in that room? rep. cheney: i think there are several things. one is that, you know, the most important thing has to be the truth. and we have to be willing to speak the truth. and the truth is that the regulator election was not stolen. that does not mean that there were not irregularities. it does not mean that there was not fraud. it

rather what you had is you had one party rule and the one party being the democratic party. so as such the only time members of congress would really face any sort of meaningful competition wasn't a general elections. but was in the primaries in the south. and so as such the big hurdle for many people to get elected to congress was to get elected in the first place because once elected they would keep getting reelected over and over and over and over and over again. which leads to a second artifact? and a question. so how did these people become committee chairs? now in the house during this time. you had committee chair ships determined by what's called the seniori rule. in the seniority rule. is this the member of congress with the longest continuous service on the committee from the majority party becomes the chair of that committee. so in other words because you had southerners who came from districts in southern states. where you did not have effective party competition in many cases. as a result, they got to look re-elected over and over and over again. where say they'

go the parties should decide who will be the leader and the members of the party they want to treat 3 men who is conservative and the upper are chicks and the party they choose lush it and now the same up or a chicks in this political party they choose again well i shit counted out the chancellor does this this is normal and this is going to ruin this party i'm sure but i wanted to ask you did you think this decision to go for lasher instead of soda from the junior coalition part of the c.s.u. could this hurt the coalition's chances of winning the september vote. well i would say the biggest influence on the election already happens your name is not in a bedrock of the party of the green is also a candidate for a chance or and here happen some seem very unusual even the green party is the smallest party group in the german aliment they have quite the 8 percent they were not so remarkable they have no important spot in spite of this fact they have been heavily pushed by the german media especially the state on television. televisions and they have been very present in the last syria or

the party. some of them just, frankly, didn't want to come. >> let me ask something about the white supremacist, this stuff that keeps trying to get into the mainstream, into the conservative movement. i feel like the republican party that you grew up in did a pretty good job of trying to eradicate this. it creeped back in, whether it creeped in via libertarian movements or whatever, it creeped back in. and you see it. you've gone from one problem in steve king, and it's metastasized, now they're trying to start a caucus sort of based on these racist ideas. how did this happen? how did this get mainstreamed a bit in your party? >> well, chuck, i have no idea how this even showed up. i wouldn't call it mainstreamed in our party. i can tell you that this so-called america first caucus is one of the nuttiest things i've ever seen. listen, america is a land of immigration. we've been the world's giant melting pot for 250 years, and we ought to celebrate the fact that we are this giant melting pot. t

party leader. i think he will stay on in this situation and he will of course stay on as leader of the government in not famous fabian he's made such a joke there and so i think that all will be inside the discussion right now and in the end i think we will see but i'm not sure it will be the candidate for chancery for the conservative party you and i we have spoken 'd before about a man by the name of friedrich meretz as a possible chancellor candidate he came close to being elected head of the conservative c.d.u. party but he didn't win but he came close and now there are calls 'd for him again to be the chancellor candidate but how realistic is that hope i think this decision will be made between marco sudar from the bavarian c.s.u. and i mean lush it from the c.d.u. so i think it's just between these 2 possible candidates and i think that the decision will be made very soon and my opinion is that i mean let's it will be the candidate for the election in september and so you don't think mr marit

, the other party responds procedurally and then the party in the majority takes another step. in 2019 we sought republicans change the precedent for the amount of time after which cloture has been invoked, after which debate has been ended on many nominations. he made a change to reduce the amount of time available for post cloture consideration they brought it down from 30 hours. in response to democrats having refused to waive that 30 hour post cloture consideration requirement in many cases. that's a good example of the sort of thing we might expect even if republicans really dug in and tried to slow down the senate response -- in response to a change by democrats. it's also important to remember that mcconnell has made these kinds of threats before and then not entirely followed through on them. that could certainly change if this were seen as a change to the filibuster now were seen as high-profile or higher threat it's also worth remembering that part of why the center it does now is because -- senate operates how it does now is because -- the current set of individual s

party leader. i think he will stay on in this situation and he will of course stay on as leader of the government enough and just say yeah he's making such a jump there and so i think that all will be inside the discussion right now and in the end i think we will see that i'm not sure it will be the candidate for chancery for the concepts of fozzy you and i we have spoken 'd before about a man by the name of friedrich merits as a possible chancellor candidate came close to being elected head of the conservative c.d.u. party but he didn't win but he came clubs and now there are calls 'd for him again to be the chancellor candidate but how realistic is that hope i think this decision will be made between marco sudar from the bavarian c.s.u. and i'm the last it from the c.d.u. so i think it's just between these 2 possible candidates and i think the decision will be made very soon and my opinion is that i mean it will be the candidate for the election in september and so you don't think mr maritz fried

party of ideas. this is not a party of ideas anymore. nobody's even presenting ideas. nobody's even pretending to have ideas. it's a party that wants to stomp anything that the democrats want to put forward. they want to have these culture war fights. they want to limit democrats and people of color's ability to vote. so that they can maintain this minority power and they want to kind of go along with whatever their voters want, which is largely complete fealty to former president donald trump and that's just it. there are a few people that are trying to push one way or the other but the predominant mood within the party, the energy within the party is in these pro-trump culture war fights and ignoring kind of the business of governance or standing in the way of the business of governance. >> so, peter, you have the former president's appearance this weekend as i was just speaking to ali vitali in west palm beach, florida, and it further shows, really, the hold that donald trump has on this republica

brought to a banner in an effort to rejuvenate the party in a. in the central part of the party and he was minister of higher education and then became vice president. essentially waiting in the wings to become president as president he has been somewhat cautious although there have been some major changes already this year there in the one awaited change in the dual currency has been it now implemented are there under we give the us can know there is this new constitution it was raul castro had it constitutional commission but the is to now is the president and we have a new customer but as ambassador said cherice power. they and so those are a significant reforms he is someone who is not on it illogical he is someone who tries to do things almost like an engineer and sometimes that misses the human element i. i think that's the biggest complaint about we go he lacks a kind of charisma. of intuitive understanding of politics but he's not an idealogue that's going to be interesting to see then how he's going to relate to a younger generation ever

and their own factions in their own party. host: which leads to this headline -- house democrats hitting the brakes on a liberal wish list. the speaker of the house threw cold water on the idea last week. guest: she did that pretty definitively. the judiciary committee is going to move legislation to expand the supreme court to 13 members. right there, -- right now, there are nine. this was a campaign issue. people on the left push that, saying we want to balance the court out. on the opposite side, you have republicans campaigning saying, look at how the democrats want to radicalize the country. they want to expand the supreme court. last time they tried to this during fdr, the democrats shut down their own presidents effort to expand the court. labeling it court packing, and unfair move to politicize the judicial branch. it is a real political hot potato. nancy pelosi threw it back to the judiciary committee. i think what democrats would like to do is put it on hold by saying, president biden has already said there is a comm

that's controversial position to take in the republican party to take and the republican party right to bring in matthew doud, chief strategist for the 2004. matthew, looking at this race again, emphasizing at the top of his piece is happening because congressional representative died of covid. one of 11 is running on an anti-trump message. does that surprise you at all? >> no. it does not surprise me at all. i know this area very well, back when i had more hair and much younger, i did a state rep race for democrats in much of the area in the race. donald trump still has 85% of popularity among republicans. he's somebody that still represents what the party is. this is where the voters are. as i have said before donald trump is effective of where the voters are. the interesting thing about this race is why there are still some mystery, there are so many candidates running on both sides of the isle. a unique situation like many southern states where you can get 17% of the vote and get a run-off. that's likely. if you get 16 or 17 or 20% of the vote, you can be in the run-off. is there

party leader that continue to hold discussions on friday evening with the party already sliding in polls members have called for the dispute to be settled by the end of this week. and for more on this let's go to the chief political editor make it a coup for who's following all the latest developments here in berlin. how close are these 2 men to finding a decision. well we thought they were closer than they actually were we expect to see that they might come out on friday he think that deadline has passed now there are calls from within the own parties if you screw calling for a settlement by the end of saturday by the end of the week is what they both have ballots and that interview taishan might be by the end of the weekend now this is a bruising battle which comes at a rather inconvenient time because as every day passes by the just going through the party signatures of being collectives 2 percent see have a next parliamentary group meeting and settle it that this is an ugly fight in a party that had kept stressing unity and it marks the end of stupidity politics within the cd you can

have to be parties in the two-party system. and i think the fact that it has to be a coalition is maybe the one thing that can save us. and pushing them to recognize that they need this broader coalition in order to win national ofce,fi that's the -- that's the hope we have that the party will begin to think about broadening its views a its attitudes in the future. >> david fromm, anne applebaum, thank you so much for your time and for joining me on "firing line." >> thank you. >> good-bye. >> "firing line" with margaret hoover is made possible by the margaret and daniel lobe foundation, robert grenier, charles r. schwab, the david te tepper foundation, the fairweather foundation, craig newmark philanthropy and by -- corporate funding is provided by stevens inc. ♪ ♪ the people who gave the money to make mister rogers' neighborhood are the people of this and other... and... ♪ it's a beautiful day in this neighborhood ♪ ♪ a beautiful day for an opera ♪ ♪ could we make one? ♪

so the two parties could go back and forth on rhetoric. one of the more interesting parts of the impeachment trial, and you can find this where the defense team plays a montage of lawmakers using rhetoric, it sounds like committing their own act, but it's really their political rhetoric and things like that. in her comments now are in the wake of what is going on in minneapolis a longtime leader in the house and then on the other hand you have democrats who have voted in kind of an unprecedented way, from the committee assignments, because they didn't like some of the things that she said that they thoughtri were insightful and dangerous prior to being elected. it was before they voted for her and put her in office. they took her off the committee. so now you have what i kind of see as an escalating war between the two parties, they are not trying to go after each other using the rules of the house, that seems to be returning now, that is why you saw the removal of marjorie taylor green and also metal detectors installed at the doors to th

voters who gave the party city year and c.s.u. voters who gave the parties their vote in 27 over 70 percent would still vote for these conservative parties if mr bush served were the candidate but if it's mr i shed only around 32 percent would give the c.d.o. and c.s.u. their vote that's a massive difference now why did the c.d.u. under those circumstances decide to go with mr lasher well he is the head of the c.d.u. and beyond that the city in leadership is known to be concerned about a shift in the balance of power toward but there you go there have been other c.s.u. as there are in candidates for chancellor they did not win in the general election but that was quite some time ago and that was a very different germany whether their bet will crewed right in this case that's a very open question very open question 30 seconds melinda army last night positioning himself all this time as being the most committed of the 2 candidates upholding america's legacy how much will that help him. not necessarily that it would have helped him 6

is is this still your republican party?, it is you think about the republican party today, you do need to remind ourselves, let's get back to our principles. let's stop the personality divisions that we have and focus on really the historic role we play which is a voice for smaller government, not bigger government. not government solutions, but free enterprise solutions. and that's -- while i am also a social conservative, i do believe we have to balance that with this important question, is this a fight the government needs to get in or the role of the church or the restraint of government that we need to not only preach but to practice as well, and that led me to the veto that you describe. it's a conservative position to say, that's not the role of government. it is compassionate to say, we care for all our young people, whether they're transyouth or otherwise, we care for them and that's the message of compassion and conservatism that we need to have as a party. >> well, trump targeted you for vetoeing that bill that w

and for those with positions within the party, it could impact your position in the party.antly for the future this party we need to work on keeping him on board or his supporters on board and also winning back those that we lost due to his tone and tenor in the white house. that's the key, is growing what he brought to the table but also doing what we can to get those who have turned away. and the key to that is sticking and looking at policies and not people with personalities, such as donald trump. >> anna navarro, alice did -- >> what speaks -- what speaks so much about -- i think it captures where the republican party is today. rick scott, a senator and head of the national republican senatorial committee is giving donald trump some made-up trophy minutes after donald trump had referred to the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell as a dum son of a bitch. that should tell you -- that in itself encapsulates everything of what the republican party is right now. >> anna navarro and alice stewart i want to send bowls down to you. that's because you are both winners in my
