on the republican side.we're seeing a return to culture wars in georgia that we really haven't seen in a long time, you know, one of the first things that governor kemp did when he took office was sign of sweeping anti-abortion law. and that was something that his predecessors tried to avoid and he's expected to soon sign a very broad ranging gun rights expansion into law both aimed at energizing republican voters, but we're all seeing a return to sort of culture wars the classroom. we're seeing legislation that seeks to direct how teachers can talk about race and gender in the classrooms. what what republican sponsors called divisive concepts we're seeing legislation that gives school officials more power to ban what they see as offensive books obscene books restrictions on transgender athletes from from competing in certain high school sports. so we're seeing a broad range of those issues come up in the georgia legislature that governor kemp will put front and center in his election campaign as a reason fo

may be independence and even republicans. do you see that it all with the republican party? it seems like these candidates may not be able to be as successful in turning out people who are not true believers, is that fair? >> they believe in keep the coalition together. they keep the same coalition its power the office for years in georgia. the change we've seen it's on the democratic side. long time in georgia especially in the early to thousands the late to thousands we saw democrats really try to win back suburban voters who'd gone to the gop moderate middle-of-the-road voters who felt alienated by national democratic policies but that's what we had statewide candidates who embraced issues stayed away we saw that change was stacy abrams. not only did she support gun restrictions she boasted of her rating with the nra. statewide candidate called themselves in an irate democrat party saw this change with democrats playing to their base really for the first time aggressively rather than going. >> i saw what happened necessary with the democratic party at the national level.

republicans go along with this. he has made the party about nothing but donald trump used to be a republican, was pro-abortion, like the clintons, now he has changed. he has made the party entirely about him. if there was ever a semblance of policy in the party, he has eradicated it. guest: did you ever interview him as president or former president? guest: the last time i chatted with him was spring 2015. he did the usual donald trump thing. he said, you are good on tv, but you are not fair to me. he puts his hand on me and tries to impose his physical presence. he said, i am not a bad guy. he does this by a combination of intimidation and flattery. i said, you have a bondage that you do not know about. my uncle, milton goldfein. he used to work for you. milton? he is my uncle. he goes, oh my goodness, he was the best lawyer ever, none better than him. host: one quick call. joan, colorado, quick comments. caller: you have said is that there should be more accountability regarding january 6. i agree. i want to hear

david jolly, former republican congressman from florida, he left the republican party in 2018 and is the national chairman of the serve america movement and jonathan alter for the daily beast. great to have all of you with us. melanie, let me start with you and get your read of what we're seeing play out tonight in california between the reporting you have at "the la times" and what steve kornacki was just breaking down for us at the big board here. >> absolutely. i think first of all steve is right that the big headline so far is what we have seen out of san francisco with the d.a. recall race. i don't think that any of us expected that race to be called so quickly. and so i think a lot of the commentary that will be coming in the next couple days is what kind of message is san francisco trying to show? san francisco, of course, has always had sort of a left and leftier divide in the city. so it's not that the city is necessarily turning towards republicans. but i do think there's a fair question about what the future of democrats will be when it comes to this question about crimina

republicans on the republican side where you see republicans who want gun reform that people don't like their offices, don't do that. so it wasn't a surprise. it was something that was bubbling up. and the voters have decided that this was not the person for them because they did not feel safe in the city. >> jim, from all the headlines that we're just going through with steve, did anything stand out to you out the gate? >> look, i think two things, you know, apparently if you're barack obama former campaign manager you have to live toop in san francisco even fight to -- [laughs] >> and i kind of agree with david that it similar. but the states, democrats are just like everyone else, they just want to be safe and they want their school boards to work. and so if you look at chesa boudin getting beat so bad tonight. and if you look at caruso kind of running on a platform in l. a., in the leading go getter. i think it's democrats-ing, look, let's go back to the center here. let's set a very clear message around what we want. and, unlike the republicans, as tim just said, the mississippi pr

i am not a member of the republican party because -- i am a member of the republican party because iant to get stuff done. i absolutely believe in the more gay people they know, the more likely they are to change. i show up time and time again and there is 80% and 95% of the policies that i care about. i was out in the platform committee. there is one in 31 people that's making up those platforms. the entire state, i was unanimously elected again. the chairman of the party, matt renaulti is a close friend of mine. i know all these people. do we disagree in policies and have a heated rhetoric? do i think this is adam and idiotic move? >> it is also hateful. >> you heard me call it out. you played it earlier and you heard me call it out. it was hateful and should have never happened. it did not come up from one of our other conventions and did not go through the temporary committee. it was thrown in the last minute. here is the challenge we face. there is a lot of republicans that did not want to feel like they were softening the language with everything going on with all of the drag s

david jolly, former republican congress man from florida. let the republican party 2018. he now is the national chairman of the serve america movement. and jonathan alter, communists, for the daily. thank you for having us. >> maloney let your start with, you get your read on what we are seeing play out tonight and california between the reporting that you have at the l.a. times, and what steve kornacki was just breaking down for us at the big board here. >> absolutely, i think first of, all steve is right. the big headline so far is what we have seen out of san francisco. with a da recall race. i don't think any of us expected that race to be called so quickly. so i think a lot of the commentary that is going to be coming in the next couple days is what kind of message in san francisco trying to show? san francisco of course has always had sort of a, less and less year, divide in the city. so it's not of the city is necessarily turning towards republicans. but i do think that there is a fair question about what the future of democrats will be, when it comes to this quest

you mentioned democrat versus republican. the key fight now is can you get ten republicans in the senate and where? can you get to ten on what? everyone expects it will be modest. i want you to listen here. this is the number two republican in the house. listen to him. he immediately goes into the political corner on this. listen closely. steve scalise. >> it immediately becomes about democrats wanting to take away guns. let's go search for the root of the problem. how can we do a better job of connecting the dots and stopping something before it happens like we did after september 11th? it has worked really well as it relates to stopping terrorist attacks. >> sounds great. right? so here's my question for congressman scalise. the fbi did -- the government did change a lot after 9/11. we created the department of homeland security. does he want to create the department of gun safety? the fbi took 2000 agents, he tested them to counterterrorism. does he want us to have fbi agents outside of every gun store? they don't think th

with all republicans. i support j.d. vance, that's for sure. but look at what the democrats have done. they say they're going to -- medicare. -- houses, descended on the house, it didn't do anything. >> why are you supporting j.d. vance, specifically? >> to ever do anything? >> why is supporting j.d. vance specifically? >> he's got a traffic wreck track winter. because tim himes got a track record it is not deadly. just much of the commercial about china. he said he's getting trough with china. well trump did that in people don't like it. a j.d. -- voting record that is the reverse of what he just said. that's the proof and. that's one thing, democrats, when you read, with reagan said -- they don't tell the truth of the time. >> okay, that's giorgio. this is drove from cudjoe key, texting us this morning, saying that abortion and gun control our tops on my list of. i will vote for anyone who does not respect these two things. so far and republicans are doing nothing on these issues, only blocking the democ

republican women in new hampshire are setting the pace for republican women in america. speaking of republican women and leaders i hire, it is my privilege to be here today with one of the great champions of the conservative cause enter time and service in statewide office enter service in the u.s. senate. would you all mind getting on your feet and -- and thinking senator kay out -- and thanking the senator for her service to new hampshire and america? [applause] i can on is this a i was for chris sununu before it was cool. new hampshire has a great governor. i know republican men and women are going to reelect governor chris sununu come this fall here in the granite state. also on the people of a very important day in the life of our nation. there is a day in november where we remember those who served and came home. but there is a day in the spring when we remember those who served and did not come home. it will soon be memorial day in america again. center a odd -- the senator mentioned that i am the son of a combat veteran served in korea. and i'm a proud father of

republicans on the republican side where you see republicans with gun reform that people don't like their offices, don't do that. so it wasn't a surprise. it was something that was bubbling up. and the voters have decided that this was not the person for them because they did not feel safe in the city. >> jim, from all the headlines that we're just going through with steve, did anything stand out to you at the gate? >> look, i think two things, you know, apparently if you're barack obama former campaign manager in san francisco even fight to -- [laughs] >> and i kind of agree with david that it similar. but the states, democrats are just like everyone else, they just want to be safe and they want their school boards to work. and so if you look at chesa boudin getting beat so bad tonight. and if you look at caruso kind of running on a platform in l.a., in the leading go getter. i think it's democrats-ing, look, let's go back to the center here. let's set a very clear message around what we want. and, unlike the republicans, as jim just said, the mississippi primary one is crazy for. me all

i was not republican happy when republicans won in the past. time to move on. i hope republicans -- and i think most of them -- and actually i think still a lot of republicans still believe that. we have to get back to that period. by exposing what happened, by exposing all the people involved, from the smallest person to the highest person, you understand that there is a danger here. also, more importantly, i think it shows what can happen when you have the cowardice of man. and the cowardice of men and women that didn't stand up to donald trump at any point and said you are wrong. because i have heard it. let's be clear. and mo brooks was giving a ton of bs in his interview. he was talking about rinos, the rinos he is talking about our vice president pence. >> he was in the capitol -- >> hanged on that day. i'm not mad at brooks and his colleagues for trying to encourage an attack on democrats or republicans. i am at because they are encouraging the attack on democracy, of process, a thing that is cherished in this country. and so he is tryin

in arguably, there's only one republican is one, and that republican a small brooks.'s what i'm trying to communicate to the citizens of alabama. >> i'm just gonna throughout the script during the interview. and ask you this. why are you on my show? you have a republican primary to win. we don't have a lot of republican primary in alabama. i don't know, if we, do i love you, i'm glad you're watching. but what are you trying to do here? what do you need to have been, macbooks? >> look, i don't avoid any particular shows that our lives. sometimes, i'm a little bit hesitant about recording one because they cut and splice and take your words and take them out of context and all that kind of stuff. but would i try to do is to help people understand that america is the greatest nation in world history. we have foundational principles that enables us to excel. and, as we as individuals excel, mark and she excels. that is why we've been in the greatest nation, world history for about 75 years, from an economic standpoint, from a liberty standpoint, for our ability to control

republican leaders are siden with joe biden.the very moment that joe biden is at his weakest, months before a pivotal midterm election, republicans are propping him up. they are saving biden from himself. since the day biden was elected, republicans in washington have taken biden's side on virtually every significant item in his policy, that would include covid restrictions, vaccine mandates, transgender ideology in schools, sanctions against china, the january 6th sha raid, free speech, civil liberty, spying by the intel agency, preserving big tech monopoly, the anti white race crt and juneteenth, border enforcement and policy and above all the administration's issue, its lunatic and reckless support for the war in ukraine. republicans are all in. it's called kyiv now. that's the republican message heading into the midterm election. it's called kyiv. and, by the way, this isn't just happening in washington. it is endemic among the leaders of solidly republican the state. in fact the more republican the state the more liberal th

republican men and women in new hampshire are setting the pace for republican women in america. and speaking of republican women and leaders that i so deeply admired. it is my great privilege to be here today with one of the great examines of the conservative cause and her time and service in statewide office and also the extinguished service in the united states senate. would you all mind getting on your feet and thanking kelly ayotte one more time for her lifetime service for new hampshire in america. [applause] >> and it's great to be here today he called me and said he would be out of state. i would honestly say, i was for chris sununu before it was cool. new hampshire has a great governor and i know republican men and women are going to re'leicht governor chris sununu come this fall here in the granite state. it's also very special to gather today on the eve of a very important day in the life of our nation. you know, there's a day in november when we remember those who served and came home. there's a day in the spring when we remember those who served and did not come home

within the republican party. young florida member of congress who called for an assault weapons ban, within a week reversed his position. look, i have walked the walk that new york congressman. when i served as a young member i supported a major piece of background check legislation, went farther than many democrats would. i also sponsored the no fly, no by bill which said that if you are on the terror watchlist you can't buy a gun. the interesting thing is that the nra, before i had a voting record, was all in. the moment i started voting and have legislation that i had introduced? they abandoned me. with this new which congressman expressed is that the entire party abandoned him. then, there is nowhere to go because very frankly the democrats already have their candidates who were right on the issue as democrats see it. so, the new york congressman found himself a man without an island, a man with a party. honestly, probably made the right decision to just leave. >> molly, i have to tell you about this moment t

former republicans on why republicans should get engaged tonight. democratic committee member, elaine luria and what she hopes both sides today. and why the watergate hearings and iran contra hearings are not what you'll see tonight. chad pergram with more on what we are in for tonight. a big night. maybe even a historic night. we are all over it beginning with chad in washington. chad? >> good afternoon, neil. democrats will make the case that democracy is on the line in tonight's prime time hearing. house speaker nancy pelosi has generally stayed out of a discussion about the committee, but democrats are now trying to get the public to pay attention. >> let me just say to members of the committee, they have been hard at work doing their patriotic duty to seek the truth. >> the truth is what the american people must know that donald trump was at the heart of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 elections. >> schumer called the hearings must-see television. it's unclear if the hearings will change how voters view the riot. the hearing comes as

or more moderate republicans. to be their best selves to come forward and join biden and the democratic senators in moving the country forward and occasionally that happens with the infrastructure bill etc. so i think i'd like the republicans to show more independence from their leader. doesn't happen very often. my answer beyond that is i'd take away as many things as i could that have interfere with majority rule in the senate. i would get rid of the filibuster i would get rid of holds which have turned into this ridiculous thing where rand paul can wake up and stop action in the senate by himself. and i would you know, so i would focus on on those things. but ultimately i believe that the senators have to understand the great privilege they have and the responsibility they have. to protect the national interest and not just be partisan hacks. so do you think that the democrats who have this very slim majority with the vice president harris is that majority vote have been as effective as they could be or have th

the problem facing democrats at this moment is how to engage republicans on this issue, when republicans refused to admit with the problem is. today, democrats and republicans on the house judiciary committee debated a new package of gun safety bills, introduced by a house democrat. during that debate, florida republican congressman greg steube, decided that after a string of mass shootings, it would be appropriate to start showing off his own guns, well zooming into a congressional hearing. >> this gun would be banned. >> that is not loaded. >> i love my, house i can do whatever i want with my guns. >> i can do whatever i want with my guns. how should democrats debate reasonable gun safety measures, when that is what the other side of the debate looks like? how do democrats make it clear that republicans are oppositions issue into any limitation on guns in america, is not just wrong, but dangerous. well, here is one example of how it can be done, from democratic congressman eric swalwell. >> 19 kids are dead. 19 children are dead. to my republican colleagues, i ask, who are you here for

more democrats going for republicans?ason they're such a massive shift with the hispanic demographic goes back to the values systems. many hispanics actually ally with the judeo-christian value system. the reason i'm a republican, a conservative, is those are my values as a human being. that is how i was raised and how i will vote. and i think that is resonating with others as well. >> how many of you identify as latino or hispanic? >> identify, i think all of us. >> how many of you voted for trump in 2020? >> i'm not scared to say that i voted for. trump >> i did. >> i also voted for obama. but you know, it's -- >> in 2020, one yulia amanda become moms for liberty miami chapter. >> children are being segregated. >> she goes to school board meetings to protest school -- and have an issues like race and identity. >> my name is eulilia, i'm on the moms -- identity chair. the array of topics we could discuss today i's large. but i trust that there's more parents present and those topics are going to be discussed as we move f

in south carolina, there are two incumbent republican members of congress facing republican challengers backed by former president trump. that's worth watching for sure in terms of the overall balance of power in the house ultimately, but also sort of the power of trumpism in an on going way in the republican party. we'll get results from those key south carolina races and all the latest on the primaries from those four states from the great steve kornacki monitoring those results from his patented big board. steve, we'll see you in just a few minutes. >>> speaking of the former president and his influence over the modern republican party, today you should know is the former president's birthday. donald trump turns 76 years old today. as the world's worst birthday present for a former president, the new york state court system informed former president trump and his son don and his daughter ivanka that they all three must show up and give sworn testimony in the civil case that's being pursued against the trump family business by new york's attorney general tish james. they had been push

i don't want to hear republicans talk about deficits and ultra maga republicans the mega republicans.ublicans. i don't want to mispronounce it the maga republicans. this maga crowd is the most extreme organization that's ex's cysted in american history. >> joey: let's bring in congressman waltz also army veteran, good morning, congressman. >> hey, good morning, joey. real quick we have the sound on tape of one of those celebrities. what he had to say about red states in general last night. let's check this out. >> the problem is that middle stuff. it's those states in the middle, that red stuff. why do they get to tell us what to do with the majority of us live out, you know, new york and california. we are paying for all this crap really, right? we are footing the bill. >> joey: congressman, is ultra maga is the right attacking red states, republicans maybe she doesn't know texas and florida have a big economy? what do you think about her comments and ultra maga messaging? >> look, if being you ultra maga walking walking away from out of control crime, out-of-control border and out-o

and do what republicans -- do your, point republicans are ruthless. a democrat decides to defy a subpoena, that's they will send the police out and arrest them? that they will ratcheted up. because they have the power to do so. >> let's be very clear, here jonathan. there is no matter the republicans in power would not embrace, to achieve their means. this is a political party that has decided that it is okay to ransack at the capitol and overturn a fair election. once you cross that threshold as a party, you label a group as patriots, you are able to do anything. this is going back to what dana was just talking about, democrats are going to have to get tough here. when you look at just how we measure of, when you have right now the two leading democrats in the oversight space, jerry adler, carrie maloney, how are they going to matchup if they are on the other side of this than jim jordan, with jim banks, with some of these crazy republicans that we have seen. we've seen that they turn congressional hearings into theater. how they interrupt. how they

look, i'm never trump republican. and i have, you know, swallowed my pride in many ways and supported candidates that i don't like. i don't agree with them, on most things. because i agree with them on democracy. that is the most important thing. and i have been willing to sacrifice a lot in the name of only voting for people who i think can be trusted with democracy. and i would like to see democrats do that in the case of raffensperger. say, we're not going to contest this guy because we want to drive home how important his stance was for upholding democracy. that's an interesting point. watch later, we are going to talk about some of this later in the show. we have claire -- coming up actually to talk about that. mona charen, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> the january 6th committee today announced there won't be today announced there won't be do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. we thought we had planned c

it happened because republican senators and a republican president, five out of the six supreme court justice were part of this majority decision were appointed by a president who did not win the popular vote. we need to elect democrats to the senate so we can fix this problem. leigh ann: i want to ask about that specifically. you mentioned some of the justices appointed by president who didn't win the popular vote. perhaps you and other democrats in the senate, are you discussing changing the process of confirming a supreme court justice? sen. smith: i'm talking about the need for broad democratic reform here starting with reforming the filibuster, the rules of the senate so that a minority in the united states senate cannot stop us from putting into place laws that the vast majority of americans want. the protections of roe v. wade are broadly popular in this country in the united states senate is unable to act on that because of senate rules. i'm talking about that and looking at reforming the electoral college or at least having some sort of law around a national topic so presiden

despite my former standing as a republican. the feeling among democrats in california is a bit of frustration. some of the stuff that james was talking about. i feel like there is a way to balance public safety was still being a liberal, still being on a progressive. you can want to ban assault rifles but also think that cop should be protecting your neighborhood. i think there is a feeling among democrats that some on the progressive left went overboard. and chesa boudin is an example of that. we saw the school board members recalled here in san francisco. and possibly, i think the most dramatic thing, we will see what happens with governors so in the mayor's race in california. he was a mitt romney republican. that would be like me running for mayor of los angeles. if he wins that, that would be a real shock to the system. but even that he is in the game tells you that the democratic base is ready to look for more sensible, reform oriented agenda. it's sort of part of the rebellion of the norm of democrats. they just want nor

and the structure that the republicans created so they could keep electing republicans, especially for the presidency. and he sees the power from having that structure in place. and then the republicans working with trump, they don't care what he does as long as he does what they want and what they want is they want to stack the court with as many appointees as they can to the district courts and the -- courts in the supreme court. and that's okay. i will let you go there. let's go to sam crystal springs. this is in mississippi on the republican line. go ahead. >> good morning, how are? you >> fine, thank you. >> good, hey, this whole thing, first of -- all adam schiff, giving him so much time on your program is just ridiculous this guy is a total loser i think he has a crush on donald trump. my main point i want to talk about is the fact that, i don't know why they're still on his tail the whole time. he's been impeached twice by the house. the problem is, he is not going to be our nominee. it's going to be ron desantis, and all the stuff they're doing right now it's a puddle waste of

republican voters expect republicans to defend the second amendment.hink there is a place to land that is consistent with the second amendment. i think encouraging states to have some kind of red-flag laws could make sense as long as there is adequate due process. i think there are school safety provisions and mental health provisions we could address. there are things we can do that are constructive and consistent with republican values, and i'm hopeful we'll get there. >> brennan: senator, thank you for your time. thank you for your time. we will watch for the outcome of those talks. "face the nation" will be bakback in a minute. how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. miss allen over there isn't checking lesson plans. she's getting graded on her green investments with merrill. a-plus. still got it. (whistle blows) your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. >> brennan: we go to the cantsz city, missouri, mayor quinton lucas. he joins us today from san

republican line. go ahead.aller: good morning. this whole thing. first of all giving adam schiff so much time on your program is just ridiculous. he is a total loser. i think he has a crush on donald trump. the main point i want to talk about was the fact i'm not sure why they are still on his tail the whole time. he's been impeached twice by the house. the problem is he is knocking to be our nominee. it's going to be ron desantis and all the stuff now is a total waste of time and the democrats including all throw what's her name and the two republicans in with the democrats, they should be trying to work on how to get the united states back to where it needs to be. obviously biden is a total disaster as well as his vp. at an even know what her name is because she's absent. the bottom line is ron desantis will be our nominee and he will win decisively. i can't even believe biden is even going to try and go for president in 20 24 because he is going to lose and they will lose everything this year in the house an

finally, if the republicans have this idea that you, and i'm a republican, you have to look forward, i'm fine with that. unless you take care of this other business where so many people feel isolated or isolated against the voting system, don't feel like their vote counts because of why trump keeps saying about the election being fraudulent. that problem has to be solved. we can't go forward until we solve that problem. >> john, are you a republican who supported trump in 2016 or 2020? >> no, i didn't support, i almost supported him in 2020, i came within the, day i changed my mind at the last minute and voted libertarian. in 2016, i voted for this guy out of utah. i just couldn't vote for trump. he has some policies which i really supported. you know, the supreme court stuff, there is some other stuff, and they did keep inflation down, all kinds of other stuff. there were some failures, but really, their organization of the company to get this vaccine stuff out was terrific. so, it's a mixed bag. i couldn't, there is a personality issue which is dangerous stuff. i just couldn't go a

will republicans vote in sufficient numbers in '24 to make him president?ve an impact. >> suddenly you see reports of kind of this subterranean movement towards ron desantis and of florida. and he could take on donald trump. and maybe there's republicans now who look at this and say, you know, we'd like somebody who's got donald trump's policies but without the crazy. and so that may be seeping out there among -- >> i think the point you made, just what you just said is important though, that it may impact some republicans about whether they would vote for the president if he runs. >> in a general election. >> in the primary in '16, we had lots of people on the stage and it slowly winnowed down to a few, right? if we're going ohave the list of people you're seeing run, like my friend mike pompeo and former vice president, you have this long list of people running in a crowded republican primary, donald trump will emerge the victor in that primary. that's what i'm talking about. >> and you're absolutely right about that by the way. >> do you feel that there

republicans are finding it at fox.nd people just looking for the news, more and more cnn is going to be just about the news. it will be interesting to see how it shakes out. i think it is important to check out all three, and i encourage my republican viewers to check out msnbc and i encourage democrats to check out fox. you need to know the other side is saying. host: marianne has been waiting in clarks grove, minnesota. caller: you redeemed yourself a little when you said that comment about eisenhower. before that you were pretty much trashing the party that i think does more good. i am calling because the roe v. wade, i recalled when it occurred and heard on the radio. i looked at my 18 month old and just started bawling. at 21, i knew the gravity of what that was going to be. it was predictable. the pendulum swung way too far and people just -- it was supposed to be safe and rare and it became, for some people, i have had seven or eight abortions. for me, this is not safe and rare. i believe the child is sacred, ob

the democrats are playing into the republicans hands again because it's an election year for republicansthey have seen the polls. they know that there is support for legislation. so, they come up with a gimmick and democrats will fall into their hands so that when they have the election they will say well, we done something. well, again, the democrats not learn their lessons. host: do you think it helps them take back the majority in the senate and the house? that they did this? caller: tell you the truth, i really think the polling is wrong. i think there's going to be a very secret thing happen. there's a lot of polling going on saying republicans going to win. but i think that with all that's been happening, you know, when you lose a child, you don't never forget that child. uvalde is not the last one that we have had. but you've seen it before, these republicans affected by reelection. so again, it's pitiful what's happening, but it does nothing about the ar-15's. if you have a gun that has no bullets, that's another thing. there's nothing in there to limit the amount of bullets that

it is accepted that republicans are taking house back in 22. if we had a vote today, some would say likely to send it as well. this is not a mandate from the american people being like hey gop. we love you. yeah for those that are watching on tv everybody laughed here and and and republicans come in and don't have a vision of how we're going to solve some of these problems if we don't if we only talk with the things that we're against all of the problems that we're dealing with right now in a country that are being blamed on donald trump. excuse me on on joe biden and the democratic party is going to be blamed on on the republican party. so so we have to have a vision on what are we going to try to solve and it starts with having elected leaders that are willing to inspire rather than fear monger and and this is you know, we're going through through here in texas. we're going through a primary runoff elections. in the primary that was earlier in march 3 million people voted 1.8 million republicans, 1.2 million democrats. that's three million pe

the only republican.ce promising to protect election integrity. >> one of the things i was involved in as part of the republican party in the city and republican party in the state was election integrity. since coming into office in 2012 i've referred more than two dozen cases for investigation to city, state and federal law enforcement. our election operations were centered in the pennsylvania convention center in centre city, philadelphia, and there was one tv on that i happened to walk past -- ♪ and the president saying, why are they still counting? we already got the results. >> we're winning pennsylvania by a tremendous amount of votes. >> reporter: i want to be very clear what then president trump was calling for. he wanted millions of americans to be disenfranchised. >> which is completely at odds with democracy. it was pretty upsetting to see that. >> a key race alert in some battleground states. >>when lahalf your voters, 323,0 vote by mail takes days to counts the ballots. you can't begin proces

in october of 2001, large majority of democrats and republicans had trust in the republican control oflapsed among both parties. democrats, more than half and republicans, down to 9% trusting government. the democratic government, so it's higher, but this is troubling. how did we get here and what do they think next? it's a cynical public. they believe right now, most candidates that run for office, they don't do it to serve the community. only 21% people think they run to worry about the greater good. 19% of democrats think this. 24% of republicans. now look at the reverse. a full 65% think most candidates run for office to serve personal interests, nothing else. and this is across the board. 66% of democrats believe this. 63% of republicans. when we talk about the broken democracy, this may be bigger than any polarization problem we have. if the voters don't trust who's running for office to do the right thing, how does this democracy survive and thrive? when we come back, should president biden run for reelection? a growing number of democrats lawmakers told the "new york times" no.

to the country, i am ready to vote on all the republicans and ever for the republicans to ring them to vote. i will work across the aisle. there is a bipartisan group of senators that have been meeting, exchanging ideas and could come forward with their framework of gun legislation that could pass in the senate. the president called on congress last night in his address to act. here is what he had to say. >> i just told you what i would do. the question now is what will the congress do? the house already passed key things that we need. getting rid of the loopholes allows the gun sales to go through in three days even if the background check has not been completed. safe storage requirements and banning high-capacity magazines. raising the age for assault rifles to 21. banning ghost guns they don't have serial numbers and cannot be traced. tougher laws on gun trafficking. this time we have to take the time to do something and this time it is time for the senate to do something. but as we know, in order to get anything done in the senate we need a minimum of 10 republican senators. i s

i think it got close to 20 republicans in the senate. state you're probably not voting for it. if you're in a primary, you're not. if you're running for president, you're not. >> you're definitely not. >> that leaves a universe around 20 that could get there and that would be a really nice win for everyone and politically good for both parties. >> i've got to say, it strikes me, i would think more would be willing to come out for the 21 lives lost than the 20 that went for infrastructure. that just, to me -- this seems always, to me, to be a political win to be able to react. they have compromise going on. obviously they didn't get everything they wanted. that's a sign of a good deal. you've got people on board at the moment. >> 20 for a gun compromise would be huge. >> it's a floor number. >> people should judge our political system where they stand based on that reality. the political reality is that 20 republicans to go for this would be enormous. one of the reasons why democrats are willing to come to the table and accept something t

these are republicans.on and they do things like lift up a fist on january 6th that's who they are, and so when you're looking at 2024 you want the -- you want a definitional campaign, this is them and this is you. so i disagree that we don't have a message. >> there are all different kinds of republicans. like there's all different kinds of democrats. you've got, if you are in the other party's primary starting to play games you're playing with fire. >> but the idea that the election was stolen has taken hold among a plurality of republicans. >> no doubt if the former president of the united states continues to tell people in his party that the election was stolen that a president's words have impact, but george, the amount of people who believe that today versus a year ago is less and beyond that is less. it will continue to go down because there's no evidence that it was stolen. in fact all the evidence is to the contrary. all the evidence is to contrary and compete in 2024, donald trump in that race a m

and then republican jacobs was concerned about the stance of gun violence. and to say he was disappointed in that. >> but he should have fought the hard right people who don't represent the majority of people in his district. not even close. thank you. >> good afternoon everyone. so everybody is concerned about inflation and gas prices and without exception every employer whether large business or
