now or if it wants to be the party of working people because i think we're headed to have to decide one way or another going into 2022 go ahead. well i think the conservative side of the republican party has always been for the working man they have always been for free markets they've always been for the consumer they've always been for the taxpayer it's more of the establishment side of the republican party the money side of the republican party that is controlled the party for the last 40 years i think what you have seen with the tea party movement 'd and what you've seen with trumps election in 2016 is you've seen the conservative side the small business patriotic god very. pro free market side of the party rising up and taking over the party and that's why you've seen. conservatives win primaries all across the country in races for the u.s. senate whether it was ted cruz or mike lee or rand paul they were they want primaries in republican primaries as a conservative free market thinker and i think that that is what is happening in the republican party is we're throwing out those co

it is so obvious the two party system is not working for the people. cisions are being made based on political party. they are partisan decisions, and that cannot be in the best interest of the people. if we did have other your political party -- a third major political party that would -- i think better decisions by our government would be made. i hope we have a third major put ago party. host: the challenge of money, several colors have brought up -- is there -- several callers have brought up, is there enough money out there? caller: trump with money behind him -- there is plenty of money to go around. if there is a very serious major third-party it will benefitour party-- -- it will benefit archon -- will benefit our country. host: twitter rights -- twitter writes that " it third-party is a great idea center, however, both state and federal laws protect the duopoly." caller: there used to be three major networks, but you see what happened to that. that happened -- fell by the wayside with cable-tv. major league baseball, should there be a third penn

party. and then bush makes i this masse error with the iraq war, which radicalizes people from within the party and people who are an independents, and then this your groupe grows. they look at the establishment of the republicans and sayng no these guys aren't representing me. what sort of passionate conservatism doesn't bind me and why are my friends and cousins dieing in iraq when i don't care about whether there is democracy in iraq. so i think the cannonite grew because of the stakes within the republican establishment and partially because this is a global trend.e there are trumps in half of the countries of the world right now running national conservative parties. and the established republican class did a terrible job of managing it and they fed the beast, they made it worse. they made the stakes that enabled it and i think that ledl us here. so yeah, i think that the smally government, some of the rhetoric that reagan used and others, sure, i think people look back at it, it doesn't look as good o in the lightwi of day. but i think it more kind of allowing this nationalist strain to g

having donald trump continue to really put forth as the voice sort of face of the party i would say the majority of people in the party would like to put that in the rearview mirror so mitch mcconnell is not going to vote to convict on this impeachment when clearly there was not evidence to do so but at the same time it's not cut and dry he knows that trump is expensive trump is rude trump is brash and there's a lot of people that don't like him so he's he's trying to walk that fine line. at the end of day 7 republicans did vote to convict trump were you surprised by any of those that did and what does it tell us about the state of the republican party. well i was surprised to only that a week ago they had or a few days ago they had a vote where shifty flour scuse me 45 members of the republican party said this was an unconstitutional here it was contrary to the constitution of the united states so that 2 senators who didn't think it was constitutional would vote to impeach that was a little surprising but i think in the long term question is what's donald trump future what's the party's future and i move

so, if there's any way for the republican party to try to appeal to people who don't respond to thosedeals, but still want to be heard, i think the republican party needs to get back to making sure they are meeting the needs of regular, every day people in their party. >> we have to get past the language of hate for our political enemy. we have lost the basic sense of humanity and dignity and we have to go back to that to rebuild from here. >> reporter: earlier this evening i spoke with an impeachment manager, eric swalwell, congressman, thank you so much for joining us tonight, we at least expected an acquittal, the outcome of the impeachment trial was not a surprise, but you say that it was all worth it. what do you think was accomplished and do you think any of form er president trump's most staunch supporters were swayed at all by any of the evidence presented. >> we were trying to sway the american people that you cannot incite our own people to attack our capitol the day that we are voting every american's vote. we showed our country that we could have an accountability exercise

you're starting to see evidence of this, all these people parties that are starting to bubble up -- allhese people tea parties that are starting to bubble up here.

[applause] so you say how is he getting it done? dumb down public education. emotions. and the ongoing -- this is why i think it's such a waste for a man as gifted as president obama with the communications skills, you know he could wipe out the republican party. he can wipe out the republican party if he would inspire this country to be the best it could be, but we don't have to worry about that because that's not what he wants. he wants people in fear, angst, and crisis, fearing the worst each

course we will hear president trump on tao diddly gloat about this and the fact that the party now belongs to people like trump and marjorie taylor green is scary for many americans one thing that it is leading to is a large number of republicans leaving the party whether they'll go to the democratic party is another question but at the republican party may find itself increasingly have the the party of the conspiracy theorists and the anti semites and the white nationalists and they may find themselves having trouble gaining the majority in elections all right melanie thank you very much money there in washington that might get back to you for a chat a bit later but we can go back to andy caddick who's following developments in west palm beach florida where there has been some reaction. yeah a statement has just been released from the office of donald j. trump it's a pretty long statement and scuse me while i look down but i'm going to read one section of it from here this is been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country no president has ever gone through anything

neither part is well served when people from both parties just retreat to their respective parties' corner and speak only to their parties' base. >> bill: the tone is more personal. why is that? >> it has certainly become more individual. you mentioned aoc. she unfortunately made this about her. she did so moreover under

president trump did achieve a big turn in the orientation of the party, toward the working people thate been left behind for so long, you see that in support come back to the party. no polls out showing -- more polls out showing that policies to support that adding to them, that appeal more to younger voters, that is a positive future, that i think majority of party can get behind. >> that is right, thank you. policy of trump administration we saw lower taxes, greater freedom of opportunity, and entrepreneurship they able to work for yourself, and have a dream, and see that dream to fruition where policy system brac open braced by former president, we should talk about millions of american who feel their voices not heard right now, that is how trump became so popular, that is important to take those ideas, we saw operation warp speed, vaccination forever covid-19 made in 10 months rather than 10 years, those are things policy wise to get back to. i never once gone after representative matt gaetz or said anything negative, i won't do that, i will not take the bait tonight, we have to fo

you, given how you're viewing all this you've been vocal about holding people in your party accountable for conspiracies and extremism. i want to play something you said about this earlier this month. >> i want to be a new voice for the republican party, and that's one of the reasons i've spoken out so strongly against the president, against these qanon conspiracy theorists that led us in a constitutional crisis. it's just wrong, and we've got taput a stop to it. >> but then congresswoman greene was apparently rewarded for her

the people that are seen as you know the leadership in a lot of sense as far as people having seniority within the party and i think that a lot of these people that were new voters that weren't be behind president see the g.o.p. basically as having failed him so i think a lot of those people probably were the respondents in the polls that have led to the spike in this in that number on that whether or not a 3rd party is actually good for their cause is debatable because generally 3rd parties are seen mostly as a spoiler in america done why is this not linking health and the number of 3rd parties who hold office remains in significant one is the when the polls suggest people do want to turn it. well the system is rigged against them in the united states and certainly my colleague from the green party understands this well this is them is rigged against libertarians and green party and others the democratic and republican party as the as the previous spoke or speaker mentioned they do collude they do share the same philosophy they're both part of the same warfare welfare state they stare the same view tow

you see images there are people on a party bus not wearing masks. t, we're beyond telling people what they should do. wear a mask, wash your hands, stay home if you can. how do the actions of these people affect not only the ones they love the most but people they don't even know? >> good morning. thanks for having me. yes, it's really disappointing to see images of folks just really acting like the pandemic is over because it's not. and the actions that they are contributing to right now can lead to increases in cases, increases in number of people being diagnosed with covid-19 who may not even be related to them. so they have their little pod on the bus with them or in the parties but we don't know who these individuals are then going to go home to and going to interact with afterwards. and so it's -- people need to understand that the things that they do, together in little groups, does not stay together in those groups. literally what happens in the ozarks will not stay in the ozarks. and so we need folks to really take personal responsibility fo

party. two thirds of the people who voted for trump say they are more of a supporter of trump than the party. but that means 34% said they were not. as you can see, the number or -- the number of people or the share of people who say they are more supportive of donald trump than the republican party rises with self perceived ideological conservatism. in other words, the ideological base of the republican party is likelier to say that they are more of a supporter of trump than the people more likely to depart the party when you have a general election. throat, -- throughout, i think one thing we need to look at when i use ideological self descriptions is the group called conservative. this is the largest ideological breakdown of the poll. larger than very conservatives and significantly larger -- larger than liberals and moderates. the group that caused himself conservative and republican -- in republican primaries vote differently than those who call themselves very conservative. they have the notable distinction of being the only ideological group that always backs the winter. -- winner. th

decades is the republican party becoming redefined as an ideological group and party is united it's largely because they forced people who didn't agree with their ideology to walk the plank and either to become independents or democrats and what the republican party needs to get back to being is actually a coalition that can disagree internally that going up whole different points of view and yet still partake in the democratic process. we i remember he saying that you were never back in like it is when was this 202016 so did you it michel will know literally walk the plank and then come off the edge the other side. and in many ways i was made to walk the plank literally and suffer the repercussions of speaking out being the 1st elected delegate to the republican national convention and 26th to go against then presumptive nominee trying so i got to see exactly what this was about this was not a night in behind one person so i saw the cult of personality start to form then and that was troublesome and worrisome to me but speaking from a hell experience for a moment this is back to governing and then we pick up all tha
