patriot party or no? ller: history might repeat itself when abraham lincoln started the republican party into the -- and the whigs, the rinos of the day, moved to the side. we will never get elected again because of this fraudulent election done i the deep state. has biden said anything about straightening out the voting machines? of course not because he was in on it. it serves the democratic party keep this cheat rolling along. president trump should do it. there are a lot of good democrats listening who would join it because they are frustrated. host: where was there enough irregularity or fraud to make a difference in this election? caller: c-span might bring on dr. shar might. i forget his first name. he testified in front of the statehouses houses of all the swing states wrought on by rudy giuliani an hour and a half -- brought on by rudy giuliani, an hour and a half each time. he has three masters degrees. he showed in the presentation how there were three is that were impossible. i saw ballots sitt

host: we showed a story -- a report of donald trump considering forming his own political party, patriot party. would you leave the republican party to join donald trump's patriot party? >> caller: absolutely and i am ready when texas succeeds from the union i'm ready for our state to do the same thing. >> host: james in buffalo, kentucky, good morning. >> caller: good morning good. i want to say thank you to everybody who articulated so eloquently most of the things i would say except the last collar. unfortunately, i don't want to go down that road but i think the republicans definitely didn't realize what they were getting into and definitely there's a lot of people loyal to trump and not republican. i don't want to go down that way. >> i guess it is still good morning. this week the united states completed the process of transitioning to a new president and i want to congratulate president biden and vice president harris and i want to thank donald trump and vice president pence for their service to this country and the many achievements their administration was able to achieve. in four yea

or do you think the patriot party should work within the confines of the republican party, sot win forever? >> jesse: well i already joined greg's after party so i don't know if i'm allowed to be a member of two parties. i honestly think that the patriot party might have just been a joke that somehow leaked to the press. it's not a serious thing. >> katie: but there is a logo. >> jesse: who made the dash i don't think it was the president that made the logo. i think the president will go back to mar-a-lago and he will unwind, not tweet because he can't tweet, he will reflect and think about how he made some deals overseas to rebuild the trump administration and make amends with a memoir and some speaking deals. but you know i wish he had been there at the inauguration today but then i think the media probably would have just fanatically obsessed over him and ruined the coverage. so maybe it was better that he didn't attend. you know we do have some news that i'm going to break there, some of my sources have read the letter that the president left for joe biden and the resolute

political party they filed the paperwork today with the federal elections commission for the mega patriot party national committee reporter markie martin breaks down what's in store for the new party and its leader. >>early monday morning, the u.s. federal election commission sending news nation a copy of the 4 page electronically submitted document name the mac a patriot party national committee the organization listed as a joint fund-raiser, donald j trump for president incorporated the patriot party's official address listed in san antonio, but the person named as the custodian of records treasurer and designated agent one james davis located in punta gorda florida. hi james, this is marking martin with news nation. she didn't answer our calls but current trump staff did respond to our inquiries saying quote we are not supportive of this effort have nothing to do with it and only know about it through public reporting we also talked to cal jillson one of the country's leading political expert, this is not good for republicans, but it's hard to see what would be good for republicans and are t

party do as a whole to unite, because it doesn't sound good when you are talking about having a patriot party outside the republican party. as a democrat, i am willing to work with uniting with republicans so we can bring our country back together as a whole , because america is one of the best countries in the world. well, is the best country in the world. host: does the rnc support a patriot party? then you can respond to her question about unity. guest: no, the rnc does not support a patriot party. we believe the republican party is the home for the most freethinking, independent-minded, free enterprise focused people who want to continue on fighting for the america first agenda that president trump has put in place on the conservative principles and values that we hold and have held dear for many years as the republican party. we believe it is the home for many more americans, but we have to earn the trust of people like shawna, who says she is a democrat willing to work across the lines, across the political aisle to get things done. that's what we want. there are people like vernon jone

. >>> from republican party to patriot party, now that his time is up in the white house, president trump is discussing the idea of a new political party, this according to a report from "the wall street journal" with sources familiar with that. the sources told the paper mr. trch discussed the idea with several aides and others close to him, adding that the president said he would want to call the new party the patriot party. >>> from russia to iran, china, and more, once joe biden is sworn in as the 46th president later today, he'll have some serious foreign policy challenges to change which may include rebuilding bridges with u.s. allies. here's nbc's threats on all sides, china, north korea, iran. this after the major nur insurrection at the capitol. that's about to change the first woman to lead the country's 18 spy agencies. >> when it comes to intelligence, there is simply no place for politics ever. >> reporter: pointedly hanes was put in place by a republican haynse promised to work with biden. she said the u.s. should take an aggressive stance toward china, a warning underscored

we heard the patriot party, the maga party. they are threat ping republicans who don't back him with primary challenges. former president has no one who is like whipping votes for him in the senate. is this threat really a long term play? something he is truly committed to other is it a way to scare sitting senators into voting against impeachment? >> it's not really clear what trump's long game is. starting a new political party takes a lot of work. i would be skeptical he's going to do that. building the operation from the ground up to win elections is really difficult work. it's not clear president trump wants to do that. you're right. by just floating this, just dangling the possibility he's going to scare a number of republican leaders away from con fronting him to a certain extent. as anyone republican operative will tell you, if trump takes his ball and go home, starting a new party is significant. a huge number of republicans will peel off and go with him. that could gravely damage the republican party's ability to win

president trump saying he would like to name that party if he, indeed, does create it the patriot partyersonally, i think that's got a great ring to it, don't you? according to the most recent gallup poll, president trump continues of to have strong support from the republican party base. leaving office with 82% approval among republicans. >>> only hours into his new administration, president joe biden is quickly breaking from the trump administration's policies with executive orders. among his executive actions, president biden is rejoining the paris climate accord, a decision praised by the globalist elites at the chamber of commerce, of course. restoring cooperation with the world health organization despite all of its failures and its collusion with communist china. and biden is also canceling the keystone pipeline permit, ending construction of the border wall, another declaration of his open borders agenda. and president biden also ending president trump's 1776 education commission that promoted a patriotic education based on america's greatness, it heroes, its history, its herita

caller: i called the independent line because there is no patriot party. i think the one thing that we can all agree on is that term limits need to happen. the congress has proven that they have failed us and the american people. they have enriched themselves while using our money to enrich other countries. host: how should term limits change specifically? caller: we shouldn't have 47 year politicians like joe biden or pelosi or maxine waters who have gotten rich off of our money. james,aryland, this is democrat line. say that'm calling to i believe that the progressives in the house need to withhold their votes for nancy pelosi unless she agrees to force a vote for medicare for all on the floor. host: what prompted you to make this call today? caller: is my own personal opinion but it is shared by a large coalition of people online from various, various outlets. it is not one single outlet doing this, it is just an idea. states declared to prepare the 115th congress -- 116 congress adjourned. again, that is the last time the wanted 16 congress will have a

and by the way, it seems unfair to get to pick a name for your party like patriot party, because you got to wait until everyone else picked boring words and then you just jump in, okay, are you democrats and republicans, coolk we'll be the explosive orgasm party. and i will be honest, i don't actually get donald trump. he just left his job. and he's already out here trying to form new parties and threaten senators? i thought if there was anyone who would enjoy retirement it is done all trump, is he basically already been retured for the last four years, my man, take some time off. enjoy florida, play some golf. spend some time with your-- you know what, actually, i get it now. you probably want to run again. the truth is, trump doesn't even need to start a third party. because he is already made the gop the trump party. he is basically an erection-- i mean infection, damnity, man. trump is an infection be-- infection that took over the republican party, and it turns out there are already new mutant strains that took over trump virus crossing -- cropping you all over. >> sara hucka bee

it's called the patriot party. what does it say about the future of the republican party right now?ng me. i really appreciate it. i think the republicans have a good opportunity to reinvent themselves as a party of the future. and let's face it, if president trump wants to form his own political party, we welcome that. good luck to you. it's a chance for republicans to go back to their roots and for these censures in arizona, we commend what cindy mccain and doug ducey and jeff flake have done to promote democracy, to stand behind election results. to look out for the american public. so we welcome all of that. as far as the censures go, they're symbolic, but look at the disarray the arizona republican party is in, due to damage that president trump and supporters have done so far. >> bill, in the meantime, you have the party activists in arizona who re-elected the controversial chairwoman there who strongly supported trump's baseless claims of election fraud. the party also welcomed a newly elected member marjorie taylor green from georgia. he was made supportive comments about qan

both the leadership of both political parties, they're going to say the hell with you, and the patriot partybe born, and it will be born with extraordinary strength and power. you get the last word. >> well, i hope we can stay together as a republican party with president trump as the leader of that party. i think that's what's best for the country. you're exactly right. 75 million people don't like the fact that they're impeaching the president after he's left, they don't like the fact that they're being canceled and not allowed to voice their opinion, make their case and exercise their free speech rights. lou: congressman jim jordan, always great to have you with us and, again, congratulations on the med al of freedom. -- medal of freedom. rushly deserved. >>> up next, the united states heading back to the world health organization. ah, we call that highwaying and progress? we'll take -- healing and progress. we'll take it up wit tasha, did you know geico could save you hundreds on car insurance and a whole lot more? hmm. so what are you waiting for? hip hop group tag team to help you plan

before trump was elected, it started during the election campaign in 2016 to form some sort of a patriot partyfollow in trump's ideology, even if he wouldn't necessarily be their leader. if you look at his policies, i think perhaps this might be an extreme thing to say, but you'd want to call it a third positionist or neofascist party. i'm not sure such a thing will come to pass but it's something that people were calling for and there was a report in "the wall street journal" that trump himself had heard of this and was considering setting up such a party. >> i think he used that term, patriot party. and so help us understand, are they digging in? are they getting more extreme? are they suggesting that they'll resort to more violence, or is there some sort of breaking of the spell? now that what they expected to happen on inauguration day didn't happen, are some sort of coming to their senses? >> i think there's an element of selection bias that makes it hard to tell. the people who have given up, you don't see them posting in these forums, talking about it because they've given up. they've g

. >>> the maga patriot party national committee officially filed a statement of organization with ourfederal election commission this morning, despite repeatedly floating the idea of a patriot party to keep senators in line on impeachment. our friend maggie reports, the former president is no longer interested in such a venture. sources tell her quote trump has started to believe there are fewer votes to convict than there would have been if it had been held almost immediately after january 6th. still with us, our friends rick wilson and stewart stevens. rick, first question to you, then to stewart. do you really foresee a trump third party and wouldn't it be for primary contests, doesn't that run the huge risk of delivering races to democrats, especially if they're moderates? >> well, i think one thing you may see with this is donald trump looking at this as a profit center, he will look at this as a way to raise money for himself. which is really the business model that donald trump has going forward. he is not going to be out doing real estate or golf courses. he will lose all of t

and, in fact, he has even testing a moniker he is calling it the patriot party. dan bongino was talking about it last night with sean hannity and he said the problem is, you know, you have got the two parties already established. they have the infrastructure. and it takes time and money obviously as you know and dan said essentially it's easier to build support for candidates in the republican party who share your values going forward. presidential. ainsley: yesterday, was a lot of talk about imforeign relation because they had some of these confirmation hearings, at capitol hill. one of the individuals who was interviewed was al hand dr. maokas will nominee for homewill security sect. he weighs asked about it. listen to what he said. >> this is not the first caravan that is apparently approached theward over the last four years. >> it's not. >> or last 12 years. i think president-elect biden and people who will be joining his incoming administration have spoken about the fact that there is a commitment to follow our asylum laws, to enforce our asylum laws and tha

. >> and quickly, the last 90 seconds, this idea of the maga patriot party. "the washington post"s is trump has told people that the third party threat gives him leverage to prevent republican senators to vote him to convict them in the senate. trump advisers say way targeted lawmakers. john roberts says he has spoken to those in the trump administration. he says the president wants nothing to do with this third party registering. your thoughts. >> the third party would be the death of the conservative movement and a gift for the left wing of the democratic party. who ever thoughts of that is a political idiot. if you want to give the left go-power, go out and start a third party and name of the at the last patriot party we had was a left-wing operation that was mostly in the northwest united states. whoever it was the marketing genius that came up with that name didn't do their history check. >> democratic socialists on half the tickets, joe biden would be president today. same thing will happen to republicans. >> martha: marc, karl, great conversation. great

quite honestly was donald trump departing and announcing that he's going to create a new party the patriot party which i have no doubts he will try to do and perhaps even be able to pull off the i don't think biden can do that at all biden just has to work for the next 4 years on the one hand on bringing it on country in by incidentally also his own party which is deeply divided something that we see very little there often reported in the media here in germany bring those together and at the same time reassure germans that whatever happens in the united states liberal democracy will at the end be resilient enough to always pull itself out of any qualifier there has asked the united states has just been doing all right in our remaining at 20 seconds what's the public mood here in this country germany towards the incoming biden and ministration. i think most of us are exhilarated was joy this is a great day for liberal democracy and you've got a new senate and i think ultraman to do just that again i have to chair of the history department at berlin's free university thank you for joining us than

reports that he mentioned that he would like to found his own party that would go by the name of the patriot party so no matter what he does though it is likely that he will stick around at least as a disruptive force for joe biden and his of ministration views oliver south reporting there from washington where the inauguration is set to get underway in a few hours time thank you very much. well don't trump has arguably been the most divisive president in living u.s. memory he leaves office in disgrace the only ever president to be impeached twice and he is up ended america's position in the world as well breaking longstanding alliances while building an unprecedented wave of support back home with his america 1st message so how will history remember donald trump we take a look at his legacy i am officially running. for president of the united states. and we are going to make our country great again. it was this campaign slogan and became his mantra but once an office did donald trump make america great again ask a trump supporter and they'll say yes and point above all to job creation and tax cut

acquitted his best defense is the argument he's been making the last week that he might go start a patriot party that threat is enough to keep many of the republican senators in line however he's also threatening to show up himself to defend himself that would be quite a circus but i think it would also be it's what what happened here was really really bad and so if you don't hold a trial it sort of implies that it wasn't serious enough to actually go forward with the trial on the other hand it seems quit it a 2nd time then that doesn't really help either the republicans don't want to go on record with the vote but some of them said let's not have a trial might wind faced with the actual evidence with the video of the invasion actually go to convict. 10000 foreign troops in afghanistan will reportedly stay past the main deadline outlined in a deal signed between the u.s. and the taliban as according to a report by the reuters news agency senior nato officials have told voices that the deals conditions have not been met and taliban is to fulfill security guarantees for troops to withdraw but ther

we don't want him running again, starting the patriotic party.e are all patriots, we are all americans. we need to get him on the golf course where he belongs. this is what happens when you put a rookie on the field. we need experience like biden and harris. i am so proud that mayor pete is getting transportation secretary. he has a blessing to our country. he is so intelligent, articulate. god bless america, and we are believing in science again. the paris climate accords, god bless america. host: before you go, have you ever gone on the road for a candidate before? caller: i am an active democrat in northern california, but once i saw trump go off the rails during that debate, i knew the democrats was going to wake up. i started painting my trailer and it said "the fire trump tour, hire biden and harris." i got out there with my beagle dog and was featured in the back of a newspaper. i never was so proud, and i drove my 91 suburban with an eight foot trailer full of giant four by eight signs and parked in front of mitch mcconnell's kentucky sta

republican party early seeing on some of the social media you're seeing people talk about the patriot party and that's of course the democrats would love to see that they would love to see a split and have kind of you know say let's what you call establishment republicans on one side and trumped patriot republicans on the other side and and that would of course secure democratic elections from here on out so i that that shouldn't happen and that can't happen if the republican party wants to move forward so there's going to have to be you know the the emotions are high right now on both sides i think i think in a few months when things calm down some others can have to be a determination on where where do things go but i can tell you president trump is still the look what gives power to politicians the power of politicians comes from their ability to mobilize voters that's the same thing with with organizations the n.r.a. if you can mobilize voters you can have power present trump mobilizes voters and so as long as he's able to do that he's going to have to be they're going to have to be tal

republican party you're seeing on some of the social media you're seeing people talk about the patriot party and that's of course the democrats would love to see that they would love to see a split and have kind of you know say let's what you'd call establishment republicans on one side and trumped patriot republicans on the other side and and that would of course secure democrat elections from here on out so i that that shouldn't happen and that can't happen if the republican party wants to move forward so there's going to have to be you know the the emotions are high right now on both sides i think i think in a few months when things calm down some others can have to be a determination on where where do things go but i can tell you present trump is still the look what gives power to politicians the power of politicians comes from their ability to mobilize voters that's the same thing with with organizations the n.r.a. if you can mobilize voters you can have power present trump mobilizes voters and so as long as he's able to do that he's going to have to be they're going to have to be talki

that makes you wonder then if he will form something like the patriot party that is being reported, then outside of i guess rallies or doing an interview here or there he has no ability to communicate in the way that he has preferred to communicate the most, through social media. again, this is what conservatives continue to complain about and rightly so. that this is now shutting down the most prominent voice, somebody who still 55% of republicans should run for reelection in 2024. he will not have direct access to people for the foreseeable future. i see it going on beyond a week and life based on what we're seeing from facebook and twitter. >> dana: a lot to talk about there and watch. one last question. the "wall street journal" editorial board said today with a question how well president biden, a president biden governs. if he wants to unite the country he needs to reach out to the 74 million americans who voted for donald trump. americans will be listening to his inaugural address for such a constructive signal. even if it is -- i would recommend something that is quite direct and

not just going to leave are they you know what's his next move he's talked about setting his own patriot party could that happen could that shake things up and if it does what not just mean that the democrats will win every election because the republican vote would be divided. i believe that donald trump retains enormous popularity in america especially by republican with republicans many of us believe the democrats changed the law illegally in the last election certainly in pennsylvania from supreme court counsel to the president and those in wisconsin. and i think that that illegality have caused him to lose those 2 states so i'm hopeful that he'll stay with the republican party and now. it's how he was the term that the democrats used 4 years ago resistance we have to resist with their doing especially the censorship you know i saw him behind day if he had a book on the k.g.b. and a book called the gulag i don't think he put that there just for this program i lived in moscow during the soviet period i know what it's like to live in the cold terry a country where there's censorship. we have

acquitted his best defense is the argument he's been making the last week that he might go start a patriot partythat threat is enough to keep many of the republican senators in line however he's also threatening to show up himself to defend himself that would be quite a circus but i think it would also be it's what what happened here was really really bad and so if you don't hold a trial it sort of implies that it wasn't serious enough to actually go forward with the trial on the other hand if you waited a 2nd time then that doesn't really help either the republicans don't want to go on record with the vote. but some of them said let's not have a trial might rent space with the actual evidence with the video of the invasion actually go to convict. participants in libya's u.n. sponsored peace talks have approved a list of candidates seeking to lead the country's transitional government $24.00 of vying for 3 presidential council posts and $21.00 for prime minister those selected for the transitional government will be responsible for preparing a national election at the end of 2021 the vote is see

who's capable you know crashing the republican party and potentially creating a 3rd party maybe a patriot party some people are calling it that it would be donald trump i think chaos is a good word to describe how most people felt even after the election going into what happened on january 6th of the capital coming into today i don't know if you heard the very 1st conversation we had but 25026000 national guard troops in washington d.c. on inauguration day it's unprecedented how do you kind of see today and where we go . from here with the new by the ministration it has been a lot of chaos but we just have to be honest and i know it's very difficult for some republicans and trying supporters to be honest but the chaos ensued because of the decisions and the statements and the aggravation from almost former president trump had he not convinced all of his supporters based on invalidated complete lies about the election that i don't think it would have felt so chaotic so i get you know many republicans felt like they had a great candidate and there's no way that they could leave but the reality is

he would like to call it the patriot party. he has feuded with several republican leaders.ins strong support among rank-and-file republicans. global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. tom: futures up 13, dow futures up 68. david westin provided perspective with the former secretary of commerce. we will speak to mr. westin and the nuances of abiding administration -- a biden administration versus her obama administration. stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: bloomberg surveillance. this day of inauguration. we look at the markets. john normand continues with us. your dollar call has been a surprise, a certitude of weak dollar. you have 14 views. if me a 15th. john: i am not feeling very challenged by the move up in bond yields. the short end will stay at zero for a couple of years. the short rate drives the carry trade. i think of those as being favored for non-dollar currencies. there is one dollar positive force. i think the private investors are going to be much more dr

. >> apparently he's musing over the idea of having something called the patriots party.s talked seriously about it with some people in private but it's leaking out. i don't think we can say for sure how this will all come out in terms of its impact on the republican party. my impression is that it will hold the republican base and republican party together in the short-term but in the long-term this is going to be very destructive. a growing number of americans, at independents, democrats and some former members of the base have come to the conclusion thank goodness for the impeachment because we have to have accountability. people were in the capitol calling loved ones that afternoon to say goodbye, that's how close we came to lots of murders. as it was, escaped with less mayhem than expected could occur, but nonetheless the country has been revolted by the fact these assaults occurred but they were stirred up and inspired by donald trump and his minions. >> it was shocking day for everyone watching on. we're also learning that donald trump pressured the department of j

i don't think there's going to be this new patriot party. trump thuglican party. that's what they are. they are bullies, they're mean, they attack, they debase it, they're angry all the time, they're aggrieved all the time. that's what the republican party has become. i'm not sure that you can fix this republican party. i'm just not. >> so, you know, i mean, i've taken to calling house minority leader kevin mccarthy like the human weather vane. one minute he's holding president trump accountable, the next he's standing in the gilded gold at mar-a-lago and putting out a tweet that is just politically obscene. and then on the other side of the capitol complex, in the senate, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has gone -- he's missing. where's his voice? i'm going to talk about him in my bye line at the end of the show. shouldn't he be out there, aggressive leadership to take the party back? where is he, steele? >> probably having, you know, quiet time somewhere. i mean, he's done his piece. he's done his piece. he said, okay, y'all can do s

party do as a whole to unite, because it doesn't sound good when you are talking about having a patriot partyde the republican party. as a democrat, i am willing to work with uniting with republicans so we can bring our country back together as a whole , because america is one of the best countries in the world. well, is the best country in the world. host: does the rnc support a patriot party? then you can respond to her question about unity. guest: no, the rnc does not support a patriot party. we believe the republican party is the home for the most freethinking, independent-minded, free enterprise focused people who want to continue on fighting for the america first agenda that president trump has put in place on the conservative principles and values that we hold and have held dear for many years as the republican party. we believe it is the home for many more americans, but we have to earn the trust of people like shawna, who says she is a democrat willing to work across the lines, across the political aisle to get things done. that's what we want. there are people like vernon jones, the

if they're going to lie in the bet, they'll have to be part of the patriot party. >> absolutely. please, there's the door. i think that's a big par of the narrative you will see unfold over the ensuing weeks and months, exactly how does it play itself out? i want that battle. let's have that fight. i want to stand toe to toe to josh hawley and have him justify his fist bump to the crowd inciting insurrection. i endorsed the current president for the united states for a democracy. let's not get into the weeds of crazy around trump. let's have the discussion about what republicanism is and should be in this century. if i can't go to the -- if i could go to the last conversation that you and the senator with you having. look, you are getting "punk'," understand you're getting "punk'd," and come back at him. call his bluff. they have no leverage over you. you have the majority and they know it, but they're going to punk you into a situation where you give up something you don't have to give up. for what? for what? ceding power to mcconnell? he has none. you have the majority. use it,

they're still afraid that donald trump is what going to start a maga party or the patriot party or i guess they're just afraid that his supporters will punish him in? >> i think many of the republicans, members of congress are in a real dilemma. they feel they can't win their primaries without trump and realize most of them will have a tough time win with a trump-style candidate in the fall so they're in this no man's land. i come back with the issue, they have to make a clean break. it's that simple. it will be short-term damage. loyal city a one-way street with that man. many are going the other way. trump doesn't care about the republican party. he is trying to monetize his defeat. if he feels it's in his interest to start a maga part. if i were republicans, i'd do what's right. they have to hold the president to account for what happened. he trampled on congress. he helped provoke an insurrection that it was a frontal assault on the institution, itself. so i think it's in their interest long-term to have this fight. the reckoning is here. it's time to engage and not shy away from

conversely, people say we will have a new party, patriot party and 75 million people voted for trump. well, no, 75 million people voted for trump because he ran as a republican. had trump run as a independent he would not have got 75 million votes. i think driving this wedge between the traditional g.o.p. and the maga movement, this is what the left is all about right now and the key to their success. >> laura: i got a message that i tweeted out from the republican donor tonight. he has this great guy, former business guy and he said if mitch mcconnell goes through with this comment is over. the republican party ceases to exist, and dinesh you hit it on the head, mollie we need all aspects of the republican party working together. the business types with the grassroots with the blue-collar, new entrants into the party with young people, latinos. you can't be cutting people out of the party in effect impeaching them. that is the way people are feeling -- maybe i'm reading it wrong but that's how i'm reading this. and a lot of people even if they don't love trump necessarily, they feel

there is this talk that trump would start his own party, the patriot party. that is a prescription for disaster for the republican party. in 1912 when the republicans split between the republican party of william taft and teddy roosevelt with the bull nose party and the are is the democrat, woodrow wilson was elected president. you get two separate parties, that is a prescription for democrats to hold on to congress in 2022 and hold on to the white house in 2024. >> that's right. you're looking live at the motorcade from arlington national cemetery. they'll get to as you look there 15th and pennsylvania where there will be bands every branch of the military represented. obviously not big crowds today because of covid-19. they will, we're told, do some sort of walk as they get closer to the white house. juan, want to bring you in. we're talking semantics and logistics about the senate control. this really is the determining factor about the biden agenda and how they manage this power sharing at 50/50. >> right. you started at the right point. by the way, i want

he would want to call the new party the patriot party. r, this opens up a lot of issues and questions. >> well, it does of course and it indicates how deep the civil war within the republican party is now. he no longer thinks the party is sufficiently behind him. and that is fine with a lot of republicans. mitch mcconnell has basically wiped his hands of president trump and says the party needs to purge his presence at this point and move on beyond him. this would be obviously a blow to the republican party and probably split it apart in the past when teddy roosevelt split off from the republican party in 1912 and cost the election to wood row wilson. it would to the fact that it's not a unified, coherent organization right now. there is a schism between the ones who see trump as their avatar, their type of leader they want, and those two find trump loathe some and repugnant, and it's a party that is held together with everyone holding their nose at the clubhouse meetings in effect. and it would be fascinating to see why they pull it out.

i have seen that he has been exploring potentially starting a new party called the patriot party, thatdent trump, he will try to come you know, get involved in public life at some point somehow meaning that, you know, he someone that loves attention. as we have set for years, he's an audience of one. not being part of the conversation is not something he's going to be used too. i think it's something many americans, you know, would like to see, wanted to see some change but i think he might be back. you see, wanted to see some change but i think he might be back.— think he might be back. you are there in virginia, _ think he might be back. you are there in virginia, you _ think he might be back. you are there in virginia, you can - think he might be back. you are| there in virginia, you can already feel the change in mood, can't you come in the washington area know that the president is gone. in a very different administration has taken over. this very different administration has taken over-— taken over. as think you seen a eaceful taken over. as think you seen a peaceful transfer _ t

discussion of this patriot party. presidential level. what happens if the gop splinters? do you think that's realistic? >> i do think it's realistic. it depends on the president and what he views his personal and financial calculation. there's a part of me that would like to see him go, would like to see us able to rebuild the republican party free of some of the stains of trumpism and certainly free of the awful events of january 6, 2021. while it would immediately seem as though it would be harder for republicans to win in the future if the president creates this splinter party, i wouldn't necessarily see it as a bad thing for the gop itself. >> michael steele, live talking us through that, thank you very much. i appreciate it. >>> live to the senate floor where the confirmation vote is wrapping up on president biden's nominee for defense secretary, retired general lloyd austin. if he is confirmed, he would be the first black american to lead the pentagon. i want to bring in leigh ann caldwell joining us from the hi

i'd really like to know your sincere thoughts of whether the former president's discussions of a patriot party, the potential thereof are a real thing, and how you believe that the extremes of the republican party, as they now exist could be brought together, a place that might be a beginning for the republicans watching some form of hope and direction >> we used to have talks about the republican party and the democratic party as well, because you will see fissures, and you will see things like biden's natural tend sis, and so it is going to be, it is going to be difficult. as far as the president and the new party, and there is a lot of discussion about that kind of thing occurring and no question he is going to miss the podium, and he is going to miss, you know, having people listen to everything that he says. that is going to be a very difficult transition for him. my guess is that he is going to try to find a place to have a platform to say what is on his mind and rally folks adulation i the past, but it is possible that we could see fissures that end up creating a different party. for ye
