registration figures for the republican party and the democratic party are almost equal. 20 years ago, orange county was considered to be the most republican county in the country. i think i walked into the wrong room here. talk about what's going on nationally. california, the republican party devastated to talk about what you're doing to appeal the republic is over anyone in california that supports the republican party. >> when i'm doing as i left. i moved to virginia in what you are referring to is the great sorting and coastal elites are overwhelmingly democratic. that is true of orange county, which is coastal and going to stay that way. has to do with affluent and education of the blue while shattered in the middle of the country. we have a red interior and it will stay that way for a while. immaculate a-2 cemex and a lot of this depends on this. african american republicans and latino republicans and all gpt republicans talk about the california republican party being positive and welcoming. i guess the shift in what the party is about and what they're doing to some extent we

will benefit them that is beneficial to families then they will be more supportive. >> as the republican party in terms of control we seem to be squandering more than others so the democratic party before the panel began i was in los angeles there is a protest going on a bitterly could not get out of my house. the use said the heat on the democratic side? how long does that last republicans are not fired up protesting. >> eight think most americans are exhausted by the end of 2016 with kansas congressional district the republican candidate still one despite all the resistance 80,000 voters to 55 that was even a greater percentage from republicans but the young documentary filmmaker favor of the most awkward interviews i have ever seen the he was going to ask if he is going to marry the girl from his girlfriend of 12 years. but when the women's march happened was in dc it was significant and 2 million people strong. last weekend for a taxpayer 125,000 people you can only protest so much when people go and do things on their weekend. i just see this dissipating completely shut schumer forces shu

the republican party from 1932 until the late 70s doesn't have a coherent philosophy. democrats have a coherent philosophy and they are the party of optimism, the party of hope, party of the future. franklin roosevelt runs for president, happy days are here again, john kennedy says we need to get this country moving again. the democratic party for 32 until 76 and beyond, the party of hope, optimism and the future in the republican party is green eye shade, eat your spinach, balance the budget party and their message is me too. a lot of conservatives accused moderate republicans, me too, we can management better than the democrats, just do it better. that was their pitch. not an inspirational pitch, which is why they are in the minority from 32 until 68 and beyond. 68 was an aberration. reagan comes forward, the early leaders of the conservative movement like bill buckley and others have a coherent message that was based on the framers, founders, the constitution which had been cast aside or at least put on the sidelines from 32 on. we are reaching and iraq, go backwards

and, of course, goldwater's defeat is devastating for the republican party. i mean, there's -- the republicans are in the minority in the house, they're vastly inn the minority in the house and the senate. they have very few statehouses,n very few governorships. and in many ways, the republican party is functionally dead. it doesn't have a coherent philosophy. so reagan now is embarking, he's traveling to california, and he says a group of businessmen come to him, the same group, and they say, well, we want you to run for the senate. he said, no, i don't want to run for the senate, i don't want to run for congress.. they said, what about governor? that piqued his interest, so he began going around the state taking soundings, doing local business groups and civic groups and other, you know, organized groups and getting feedback. and the feedback from the people was good. so that's when he decided to run for governor of california. but, so, i mean, he now is just completely broken from hollywood. now he's full-time -- but he called himself not just a politician,

that is above all of the republicans party of leadership want to bring about. it is what macron wants to avoid. and trythe first step to bring just try to bring a -- rate republican >> with a manual macron's first day in office. now immediate priorities over the next several years. macron -- his first priority will be to clean up public life. for parliamentary elections in june. he plans to ban elected -- cials by producing liberalizing france's rigid labor laws. he wants to make it easier for companies to negotiate specific deals on pay. and compensation by awarding tribunals. start thents to school year with reforms to primary schools.'s plan is to shrink class sizes to 12 children maximum. and france's educational priority. it is one of macron's key pledges to support opportunities for all. >> to the new level of depravity for the syrian regime. --t is how the diplomatic diplomat described reports of -- accusing syria of accusing that of killing prisoners in the housings and building -- burning bodies and a large crematorium. the crematorium is being used to

the republican party if you look at the representatives and the leadership of that party, and i'm friendsith will hurd. i have great faith in what they contribute to the republican party, but they are not right now at the top ranking decision-makers of leadership. >> tucker: but you're not allowing for the possibility that people are individuals and they reach their own, not necessarily in reference to the group, whatever group you think they belong to. it's because they're each one created by god to make his own choices? >> this is not individually about race, this is a lack of ideological diversity and diversity of perspective. lack of diversity of experience. >> tucker: those are all real arguments, the race part is grotesque. >> it's not. race is a part of diversity.s, ideological, gender diversity. diversity of perspective and diversity of experience, and you have to take that diversity of experience into account when making a policy as important as health care. >> tucker: what concerns me here is we're opening up a can ofo worms, and i get part of what you're saying, but you think d

stuart: this is divided republican party. on't place the blame with any particular faction of republicans. they were elected to govern and they're not governing. >> regardless divisions in the republican party, promises were made. planned parenthood promises was not made just last year but made eight years in terms of republicans going out on the campaign trail, getting backing of very significant, very influential pro-i have life groups to get behind them on promise they would he defund that organization. president psalm dade i'm allowing to keep funding as long they're not doing abortions anymore. since the inauguration day, planned parenthood clinics performed 81,000 abortions. that is something with republicans in terms of political capital, campaigning, putting out political ads are paying a lot of attention to. if they not deliver with their own budget full control, they will see primary challenges like with the tea party movement just a short couple years ago. stuart: well earlier this morning president tweeted about th

so far very few members of the republican party in montana or washington, d.c. ional republican congressional campaign committee said was quote we all make mistakes. one quote which apparently we're calling misdeamnor assault these days. after this incident a montana leader upon learning our reporter on the ground is from cnn told her you're lucky somebody doesn't pop one of you. just two weeks ago a different reporter was arrested in west virginia after he tried to ask tom price whether domestic violence would be considered a pre-existing condition. the senator sent a letter to the federal communications asked why he was man handled. as the editorial board of the billings gazette, we believe you cannot love america, love the constitution, talk about the importance of a free press and then pummel a reporter. unquote. well said. those public officials finding it difficult these days to must terrify courage to strongly condemn a politician committing assault on a reporter. maybe you need toe re-examine how much you truly love the constitution beyond just saying the

what donald trump revealed is how much the base of the republican party has changed, probably post-directly post the economic collapse of 2008. what is the republican base now? it is blue collar, it is old r, it is largely white and moved by populist forces. it is moved by populist forces that are restrictionist when it comes to immigration, that are very, very protective of the idea of having a nation, of having borders, of not being too integrated with the world. >> yeah. >> national identity. those are the things that donald trump in a very, very crude way -- >> i spent a lot of time with those reporters and the thing they like all that and they want all that and they love to see him legislate all that into law. they do not like the tweeting. they do not like the lack of discipline. they think he's wasted most of the 125 days he's been president. we're going to bring this -- this is too good. we're going to keep you all here. just hit pause. we're going to take a quick break and be right back on the other side with this conversation. >>> it's time the "your business" entrepreneur of th

the marginalization of the democratic party after the civil war really allows the republican party to take control. their base is financial and industrial interests in the great lakes, sweeping down from new england and the midwest. iny are really interested building up the navy in particular. i think you see a navy industrial complex before a military industrial complex, and historically navies are more advanced than armies, anyway. >> your book is titled "torpedo: inventing the military-industrial complex in the united states and great britain." study. about the case ms. epstein: i came to it by accident. i didn't wake up and think i really need to learn more about this. i was flailing around for a meaning of life questions, and somebody said what about torpedoes. shockingly, they were right. that became my topic, and then my interest -- i stumbled across the intellectual property dimensions. hugely complex weapons systems, and they really were i think at one of the first weapons systems to drive this new procurement relationship between the government and private sector in both the

host: what do you think this does for the republican party? caller: i think it is going to help the republican party because they say they are going to fix or replace, however you want to say, the problems with obamacare. it is a first step. congress is going to do something to try to fix the problem that they overlooked or created, however you want to say that. it is a good step for the republicans. i think the democrats and republicans should work together and get a system that works, that is fair to the people of the united states. i don't think single-payer is the answer. that is some system there they need to work out. they have a lot of horsepower on the hill to figure out those solutions. host: the president thinks it is going to unify the party. here he is yesterday.

it is time for the republican party. not just the president who leads the party. but the republican party who showed the voters who put their faith in this president and it matters who is running the country and better respect this president and follow his lead. is that a fair statement. >> it is fair statement that he is is the man leading. and this is his package and idea and obviously need to work with the congress. look george bush got tax reform in june 2001 and he relied on 10-12 senators to do that many of whom were up for reelection. and we hope the republicans see this as a good plan. go bold or go home has resonance. if you are going bold you are able to go home and face your voters and look them and went from seven brackets to three. and got rid of the loop hole and did it for the middle class. >> lou: you are to be commended and we commend you for doing so. don't go home, it is too much work to do. >> i am here for a long haul. >> lou: we can't explain the republican party let alone the democratic party. thank you, kelly. >> thank you, lou. >> lou: we

there are too many -- special interests, including in the republican party. he wants to cut back agricultural subsidies, most of which go to rich farmers. well, the republican party has been the real supporter of those subsidies to those rich farme s big pharma is where there ought to be cuts in health care spending. but it's not likely that with the republican party in the pocket of big pharma you will see those kinds of cuts. so what is going to happen is that when congress and that swamp that he is refilling, promised to drain but actually appointed more lobbyists than has ever been seen in washington, i think the likelihood that you will see anything like the budget that he has proposed to merge is very, very low. but still there is a danger. there is a danger that there will be a tilt, a tilt in the direction, and very dangerous direction in which he is proposing to go. >> fair to call this budget reverse robinhood? >> i agree, yeah, that's right. especially when you cut programs intended for ordinary americans, poor americans. and give more money to the

this has really brought the republican party together. as much as we've come up with a really incredible health care plan, this has brought the republican party together. we're going to get this finished and then we're going, as you know, we put our tax plan in. a massive tax cut. the biggest tax cut in the history of our company. i used to say, the biggest since ronald reagan. now it is bigger than that. also, pure tax reform. so we're going to get that done next. and this really helps it. a lot of people said how come you kept pushing health care knowing how tough it is? obamacare took 17 months. hillary clinton tried so hard, really valiantly, in all fairness, to get health care through. it didn't happen. we've really been doing this for eight weeks, if you think about it. and this is a real plan. a great plan. and we had no support from the other party. so i just want to introduce somebody to say a few words who really has been, i think, treated very unfairly. but it no longer matters. because we won and we're going on finish it off a

republicans to do? >> i think it's quite sad. the party has surrendered itself to a person who is not really a republican. he's not a person who believes in the republican party ideas, who has supported the republican party historically. instead of really drawing some lines and saying, look of course, you won the primary, that's the system that works, you get to be president but on issues of this kind of violations of constitutional tradition, on things like, you know, his business practices, i think more republicans should criticize him. they should say, no, it's not okay to say i can do whatever i want because i'm president. the presidency has always been somewhat above the law, that's how it's designed because we have these three branches of government, but ever since george washington, there has been a very strong sense that because of that, the president has to self-police. so the president voluntarily either as candidate or president does a lot of things you don't have to do legally. and i would like to see the republican party hold

because what we had been told by some of the republican party was once we get to phase two, you will see that across state market. >> that's supposed to be stage three. >> we have to get through pays 21st. right, okay? so i want to ask again about what if anything this got through right, because the president was excited about the fact that he was able to get past the hump. >> it was very uncomfortable on friday with the rose garden media blitz that happen, because i think i confused people that may be don't know that much about the government that this was locked and loaded, done. it was a giant success, and i am very superstitious when it comes to things politically related. it reminded me of george george w. bush banner behind him. >> that's a great comparison. >> the thing that is happening in congress is going to happen in the senate, adding the extra benefit of democratic hysteria. it's far from over. i was deeply disappointed when i did not go through the first time in congress, but i still have a lot of concern that it is not going to happen. >> i usually have a democratic qu

meantime, the republican party -- republicans are debating who will be their nominee. early summer, it is clear that the person who is going to be the nominee is the most unlikely of candidates. richard nixon. why is he unlikely? he is lost, a lot. kennedy in 1960, narrowly, but he loses. he runs for california governor in 1962, he loses to pat brown, the liberal that ronald reagan later defeats four years later. and famously says you are not going to have richard nixon to kick around anymore after that. yet a very adversarial relationship with the press. enemy and ass the highly adversarial. it is recorded again and again in the history books. the 1960'soment of -- in which heed flustered and television was not kind to him and it was very kind to john f. kennedy. was that the reason he lost, no. there are many reasons the election played out the way it did. there are differing interpretations about the magnitude of the debate. that was clear from 1960 is that one thing that richard nixon was not good at was television. by 1968 television was more important than ever b

this has brought the republican party together. this has brought the republican party together. we are going to get this finished, and you know we put our tax plan in -- the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. i used to say the biggest since ronald reagan, now it is bigger than that. also your tax reform. reform.pure tax people said, why do you push health care knowing how tough it is? obamacare took 70 months. hillary clinton tried very hard to get health care through, didn't happen. we have been trying this for eight weeks if you think about it. this is a great plan. we have had no support from the other party. i just want to introduce somebody to say a few words who i think has been treated unfairly, but it no longer matters, because we won. we're going to finish it off and go off to other things. we're going to have a tremendous and maybe more importantly, we are going to have a german does eight years. -- have a tremendous eight years. paul ryan, come up and say a few words on a job well done. >> [applause] speaker ryan: thank you. first, thank you mr. president.

lou: where is the republican party?ident stood up at the coast guard academy today and made an absolutely without question truthful statement that is he has -- there has never been a president treated this badly this unfairly in the history of this country. ed: i think the critical thing is he had to do this function and he can't spend every day worrying about these things. he has to say the special counsel has it. i'm moving forward with the agenda. lou: mitch mcconnell and paul ryan who stood up, they have to start attacking the deep state, the left-wing national media and the dems. there can't be anymore of this nonsense. the president is all but undefended his communications department can barely come up with a message. ed: i said to you the other night that all week we would talk about these things and you said you hope not. now he goes off on an 8-day trip and talking to nato and we have done nothing but deal with this all day long. lou: he had to lead the house of representatives to pass legislation that leadersh

are we seeing the beginning of a mutiny within the republican party? with several high-profile gopers voicing their concerns, gorging on drama has the party bursting at the seams. >> we could do with a little less drama from the white house on a lot of things so we can focus on our agenda. kennedy: the bad news for congressional republicans is exhausting distractions takes the focus off the crappy healthcare bill and watered down tax reform. the really bad news is if enough of them feel power leaving their greasy grasp they will hit the panic button and eject the president. the former f.b.i. director was nancy notetaker and jotted down all the disconcerting statement he had with the president. comey's diary entries could be president trump's anvil and it looks like he's considering taking some company on the hand cart to hell. if the president is not careful and continues with what appalachian trail hiker mark stanford calls. he may turn his tourniquet into a noose. glad you are with me. we'll talk to thomas massie about the agenda problems. but the bo
