as mike mcconnell, who, or george mccain, is the past, there are no such politicians in the republican partynymore, john mccain is no longer among us, he has a match mcconnell, how old is he, also in his 80s, and all this elite, she is not young, but look on new people in the republican party, on taylor green, on mike johnson, even on mccarthy, it's absolutely and... that people without any big , i would say, political values, maneuverable, cynical, populist-minded, sometimes fanatical, that's another story, another party, that's what happened not in four years, it happened over a much longer period of time, but just in four years, especially after the storming of the capitol, there was obviously an understanding that the republican party could either win with trump or... or not win at all, that, by the way , wonder why, because we saw that nikki haley beats biden by a much larger margin than donald trump. but for republicans, it means betraying their own approach to politics, because the reason why nikki haley is winning is because as a minority person herself, she attracts attention from p

there was another candidate there who was generally pro-putin, this is such a republican party, and this, by the way, largely reflects the strengthening of the far-right, far-right political vector in the world in general, which is starting to win precisely on such wild populism, the former president of brazil , bolsonaro, is that trump? the new president of argentina, javier miley, is he trump? viktor orban, this is trumpism in essence, the new reincarnation of marine lippen, this is trumpism by and large, here is this new one, not the one that was national. but now this policy, you understand, marine le pen under the israeli flag, this is not the genre of marie le pen with anti-semitic statements, but why is she under the israeli flag, an outpost of the west in the middle east, ugh, this is about how these far-right forces once supported the republic of south africa, turned a blind eye to something, but believed that this was their position, and yes ... there are many examples of such, that is, when trump became the president of the united states for the first time, he had almost no al

here's the thing the republican party missed from kansas to ohio to california, reproductive rights are americans overwhelmingly support the right to an abortion, the rights to ivf and the rights to contraception. their actions speak for themselves. republicans said they wouldn't overturn roe v wade. donald trump and his extremist supreme court did and trumpstil. over 20 states have banned or restricted abortion access, past walls criminalizing doctors that perform abortions were threatened to access pregnancy care, miscarriage care, fertility assistance and more. then republicans claim they wouldn't go after ivf. just this year alabama supreme the state and a few weeks later my colleague senator republican party blocked federal legislation that would protect access to this care and now the republican parties as they want to go contraception. that makes sense since 92% support for control. they now have contraception in their site and are trying to redefine what constitutes contraception. sure they support it in iudra where they are all for contraception but not plan b. a must except re

this is such a republican party. this, by the way, largely reflects the strengthening of ultra. of the right-wing, far-right political vector in the world in general, which is starting to win precisely on such wild populism, the former president of brazil, bolsonaro, is that trump? the new president of argentina, javier millay, is he trump? viktor orban, that's basically it. trumpism, the new reincarnation of marine le pen, that's it trumpism by and large, here is this new one, not the same as the national association before, but now this policy, you see, marine lippen under the israeli flag, this is not jean marie lippen with anti-semitic statements, but why is she under the israeli flag an outpost of the west in the middle east, uh, that's about how these far-right forces used to be under... their position, and there are examples like that . he had almost none allies in the world, now he can gather miley, le pen, orban, andrzej duda for his inauguration. because now the ultrapraya faction in the european parliament

what was so disheartening to me, i am old enough to remember when the republican party was the party of law and order. you might disagree with the decision, but you do not -- the founders had an almost mystical belief in the power of juries as a mechanism of democracy. they put two amendments in the bill of rights about it. the sixth and the seventh, returning people a jury trial. larry statement, the one that got him with the trump campaign manager saying his career was over, it was the right thing. let's respect the project -- process. i think it will affect a certain number of independent voters, every pole for the last six months shows some small percentage of republican voters or leaders will be dissuaded from voting for donald trump or dissuaded from voting if he is the convicted felon. he now is. it does not have to be a lot in pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, or any of those states. it is the tip of balance. >> you have written about propaganda. one thing we were talking about in the commercial break, donald trump dials it up every time he talks for tonight you will be on f

what the republican party is now is that mccarthy-era craziness. and it's taken over the party. the tragedy is that nobody really thought. a few people did, but they sort of gave the party to these crazies. and there's really -- there's no normal to go back to. that's what -- this has become an extremist movement. they only become more extreme. until they burn themselves out. >> yeah. >> there wasn't like a moderate ring of the red guard that said we really have to go back to what we should be. they have to just end. and the only way to do that is to defeat republicans. and you have to do that. you have to do that to save some sane center right party in america for the future. >> yeah. you would like to -- you were wrong or lied to. let me just go through what the conservative justices that overturned roe v. wade said at their confirmation hearings regarding abortion. he said no comment. roberts said that roe was settled as a precedent of the court. alito, gor such, i would tell you that roe v. wade is a precedent of the united states supreme court. cavanaugh, it's settled as a

this is well and truly trump republican party. so we start today for some of our most favorite reporters and friends. von hilliard is back. also joining us, tim havey and the executive director of republican voters against trump, sarah longwell. sarah, i start with you because your pain matches or maybe exceeds mine and what all these men and women have become, because i was never on board. i never thought trump was a good idea. it has divided circles of former friends, divided family and friends and neighbors. i mean, i have always thought it was a bet with the devil but i guess the point that is, so did they. so did ted cruz. so did marco rubio. so did mitch mcconnell, but they did something very different today. do you understand why? >> do i understand why they're doing it? i mean, no. i can't, because i'm like you, right? i both thought trump was unfit from the beginning, and took people like marco rubio and so many of the other candidates in 2016 -- ted cruz, doesn't matter, everybody was on our side back then. jd vance. they

and the republican party seems to be buying his message. trump has raised tens of millions in donations since the verdict thursday in new york. as republican officials of all stripes are backing him and attacking the us judicial system but the effect on his bid to unseat president joe biden, particularly among independent voters, is far from clear. not to mention the legal consequences of his conviction, which he will appeal. his attorney, todd blanche told the ap he plans to argue strenuously against potential prison time and trump was asked about the possibility hill face house arrest or prison on fox face. >> what that does, i'm okay with it. i don't know that the public would stand it. i don't i'm not sure that the public would stand for with a house arrest for i think i think it'd be tough for the public to take at a certain point. there's a breaking point and joining me this morning is republican national committee co-chair and the president's daughter-in-law, lara trump good morning. >> thank you very much for being here good morning.

nominee, and embracing a criminal model for the enterprise that is now the republican party. michelle goldberg is a columnist for "the new york times". terra, served as republican communication director and now she's a senior adviser for blinken project. let's start with the two individuals on that stage. again, still cannot believe it happened. these are not to hash there's all kinds of ways people can be accused of crime. the system can be unfair but they are accused of being part of a gang that is killed and shot people and maimed people. they are on stage with donald trump. i don't think it's an accident. i think it's the vibe of the campaign. >> yeah, i talked about this right after the rally. i think on this network as a matter of fact, pointing out how despicable this was and how this is seemingly okay now in the law and order republican party. it is such an up front to so many things. it is an insult to the american people that we are supposed to sit here and think this is normal. he is a convicted felon now. republicans are welcoming him to capitol hill with a hero's

— republican party? how will it react to this? , ., , ., , react to this?is? trump has opened a part in the four _ react to this? trump has opened a part in the four years - react to this? trump has opened a part in the four years since i a part in the four years since he has been out of office, consolidated control of the republican party, the rank and file. so i am sure that there will be rumblings, a freak out about the convention and some kind of contingency, but the campaign has been painstaking in making sure there is no chance anything like that could succeed, and he will be the nominee. succeed, and he will be the nominee-— succeed, and he will be the nominee. donald trump are exoeeted — nominee. donald trump are exoeeted to _ nominee. donald trump are expected to be _ nominee. donald trump are expected to be sentenced . nominee. donald trump are | expected to be sentenced on july 11, the republican national convention just a few days after that. isaac, thank you very much. that's all the time we have for now. from washington, plenty more on the tri

because i don't see your republican party that goes back to a place where there are really focused onimited government free markets in america good leadership in the world. it's not what the party is anymore. that's not what the voters want and so i think that republicans right now, which you were watching in this moment, is them gambling away a future of being a viable forward-looking political party and finding themselves sort of collapsed at the time of donald trump's ultimate departure, which i hope isn't november to is exactly why i asked the question are raised the point because in for however long it is whether it's j.d. vance or matt gaetz or tim scott or anybody else does not have that individual will not i think have that kind of charismatic pull on the party. >> and thank goodness like watching watching them fall pull over him is embarrassing for them and you know, i i hope that i want the republican party to be relegated to a rump party because of sustained electoral defeats. >> that is then incentivized to reform itself into something that is not this dangerous version of

that is a wartime level ticket was so extreme and so deadly that it jarred the republican party, which as you have heard, usually says after any shooting it's not a time to act. it's too soon. just scream. but in response even with a republican president, then president trump they decided to make a measured move. and again i'm telling you legally and policy wise how this worked. it wasn't some sweeping restriction on confiscating guns and taking back guns or anything like that. they bans just this device that makes these guns deadly. and they did it through executive action, as you know. it's hard to get a three through congress and especially gun legislation through. but donald trump did something that overlapped, and i would say one of the only gun our domestic safety measures he did that overlapped with what president obama talked about, which is sometimes using the powers of the presidency, executive action, rather than going through congress. there are many ways to do that that are generally lawful. if you are building on, for example, agencies are regulations that already exist u

at this point and the republican party versus republican larry hogan will have more from my interview yesterday with the rnc chair ahead sometimes the best thing you can do with intelligence is share it with your adversary. he and his secret is betrayed. its bullet to the back of the hand secrets and spies clear gain. sunday, on cnn at bomba were obsessed with comfort softness quality, because your basic things should be best things. one purchase equals one donated visit bumpers.com, and get 20% off your first order to give your teeth a dentist clean feeling, start with a round brush, had ad power and you've got oral-b round cleans better by surrounding each tooth to remove 100% more plaque for a superior clean oral-b brush like a pro right now, pet dander skin cells in dirt are settling deep into your carpet fibers. stanley steamer removes the dirt, uc and the dirt you don't your corporates aren't clean until there's stanley steamer clean. >> these days today. at america's beverage companies are models might still look the same, but they can be remade in a whole new way. thanks to yo

we heard from donald trump today and several of his backers in the republican party, criticising thisg it's politically motivated. saying the charges are weak, and that there was a unique method of turning what is normally a misdemeanour into a felony. what do you say to those criticisms coming from donald trump and his supporters? well, there are many criticisms embedded in that single question, and what i would say is the former president is always a critic of anybody who says anything that he disagrees with. in fact, what i would say is that the investigation into the former president ultimately leads with various chapters until the most recent chapter with alvin bragg. it was started by a us attorney under a democratic administration. it was continued by a us attorney in manhattan under the president's administration. our office subsequently continued it in my two administrations, leading to the ultimately supreme court litigation and indictment. these are people appointed by the president and elected by the public, four prosecutors over six or seven years. i know my prosecutors w

but this is so engrained in the republican party headed by donald trump. i would love to pike the football and say that you know, we are now seeing reality make a comeback. but can reality make a comeback in american politics as long as donald trump is possibly going to be elected the next president of the united states? because as mark mentioned, these things are not, they are not simply discreet. donald trump has worked very closely with each of these outlets. they are crucial cogs. as long as you have elected officials like ron johnson willing to carry water for the big lie in these conspiracy theories, they can still do a lot of damage. and will do a lot of damage. >> yeah. look, we talk about trump's kind of infallibility at least in the courts in terms of holding him accountable. we talk about changing the election. it is wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. and in two of those states. if you extend it to arizona, georgia, nevada. , there are state investigations and criminal indictments around these fake electors. while that might not be the overa

as we know the history of phyllis shapley in that wing of the republican party. but the fact that how do we grapple this history of having feminists within the republican party who are fighting for the equal rights amendment? and what does that tell us about today in the republican party of that that this history was once? so those records that i'm currently searching through the in armstrong's records here at nixon library where i'm seeing that play and those histories with of the republican party but also grappling with that feminists that were mexican-american women, part of the republican party who supported the era so that's those are kind of documents that are really drawing to me and calling to me and how do we interpret that as a historian for me, as a historian and what does that say about the parties of today if at one point that existed. that's great thank you as as a question for all of you so often when your research showing there's the document that you come across, you just can't believe it. your heart kind of stops. then you are so excited that it

this is well and truly the trump republican party. let's talk to our most favorite reporter, von hillier is back. also joining us, former lead investigator tim hay fever and the executive director of republican voters against trump . sarah, i start with you, because your pain matches or exceeds mine. at what all these men and women have become. because i was never on board, right? i never thought trump was a good idea. it is divided, circles of former friends, divided family and friends and neighbors. i've always thought it was a bet with the devil. but i guess the point is, so did they. so did ted cruz. so did marco rubio. so did mitch mcconnell. but they did something very different today. do you understand why? >> i understand why they're doing it? no. i'm like you. i both thought trump was unfit from the beginning, and took people like marco rubio and so many other candidates in 2016. it doesn't matter. everyone was on rsa back then. jd vance, they all fought the same way we did. and then we watched them for political expediency, f

last six to eight weeks we have the trial it is absolutely galvanized to support among thee republican party. right now we are showing 90 to 95% of all republicans who support president trump and what we saw in terms of support for him coming out of the trial and the verdict was absolutely massive. $140 million that we raised, over 2 million individual donors online in every one of the 50 states across the t country. the republican party is absolutely unified and we are very excited about being here in milwaukee on that stage to nominate president trump and have him be the standardbearer going into this election. >> . >> former psint and presumptive republican candidate nominee speaks to a reporter in us fan -- -- las vegas first event ys he was convicted 34 counts of falsifying business records. 3:00 p.m. eastern on-sn.

you've seen splits, the republican party primary races. virginia race, congressman bob good, the incumbent, trying to get another tell us the back story and where this race stands today. guest:ace stands still too close to call. this is a primary race in virginiahat features bob good, the freedom caucus chairman, who is being challenged by john maguire, who was endorsed by president. somebodyrv■e has really split the conservative■p the -- and the movement in the republican party. they are separated by 300 or so s. still too close to call. they are counting some provisional ballots. but, you know, right now,r. good is trailing the challenger who has been backed by donald so, the big question at this point is will there be some kind of recount election? is a procet election. in the election week will days or weeks in the it is super bowl selectionur viewers whoot mccarthy leadership role he joined with people like matt gaetz to win td endorsed. >> .micro movement conservatively the republican party that on behalf of belanger what the issue d

-- will you agree with the republican party element?of course not. that's fine yowfl don't have to agree wih f what donald trump says or the republican partyrty standing for american citizens in this country. you as union fellow citizens. america first means putting the ti including union member first. that's my message to your brothers sisters. thank you for asking that. right there. got a question right there.8o >> one last question. >> hi, ohio, and i just want to thank you really appreciate everything you guysdo. is very simply, i help out in this election cycle?i'm volunteering for buddy marino's senate. i know he's a great guy. what else can i do to out? vivek: what's your vivek: the fact that you're service to this country. i'm traveling the state, i'll probably see you campaigning right with you. our home state. here's what i ask from everybody. money you're either running for office or you'll support someone who is. get out you don't have money, knock on doors, make phone calls. spread your message. speak authentically for who

doing it unless there is something measurable and important in terms of illustrating what the republican partyt do you think is going to happen tonight? >> oh, i think the trump endorsed candidate will do. because in republican primaries they do. but i assume. i haven't been on the ground reporting there. i would say this, nicolle, one of the things that i love about this story is illustrated another thing. donald trump went to san francisco where he had this big money fundraiser in pacific heights hosted by a bunch of tech people. a couple of whom, i'm not going to name them on the air, but a couple of whom first tried to get bobby kennedy jr. to run and then backed ron desantis, and was close to ron desantis and now they've come bowing and scraping back to trump. does trump not take their money? no, he takes their money. the problem with bob good is that he's interchangeable with the other guy. the trump -- if trump has two maga empty-headed cultists, people who are willing to suck up to him constantly, the one who only sucked up to him 100% of the time will win out as long as the person who

republicans. this is a party, this republican party is a party of a free man, not for blind followers and not for compromise. back. in 1858, abraham lincoln said this to the republican party, and i. i quote him because he probably could have said it during the last week or so. it was composed of three discordant and even hostile elements, end of the, quote, 1958. yeah. yet all of these elements agree on one paramount objective to arrest the progressives slavery and place it in the course of all of our extinction today as then. but more urgently and more broadly than. the task of preserving and enlarging freedom at home. and of safeguarding it from the forces of tyranny abroad is great enough to challenge all our resources and to require all our strength. anyone who joins us, in all sincerity, we welcome those. those who do not care for our cause. we don't expect to enter our ranks, eradicate us and. all, let our republicanism so focused and so dedicated should not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels. i would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no. thank you

other to republican parties in the united states? or is everybody good? everybody who was a republic under was a republican beginning to homogenize, if you like, behind donald trump. oh, on its face it looks like the republican party is very unified and entirely behind donald trump, who's been in standard there for about 8 years now. you know, there was a glimpse of hope this past fall for moderates within the party, that there could be somebody else that becomes a novelty and look, i would still not shut the door on that. this debate is happening before the dominating conventions, which are largely ceremonial. the republicans would you be next month to milwaukee wisconscin and do the ceremonial domination of trump, who is enjoying the presumptive knob. and he's, dad is right now because of his wings and the primary. same thing for joe biden, with the democrats convene and all gets in chicago, illinois. it will be largely ceremonial, as it's always been in modern history. but this time the door is open because of the age of both of th

it was so extreme and so deadly that it actually jarred the republican party, which is as you've heard usually says after any shooting, it's not a time to act, it's too soon, just grieve. but in response even with a republican president, then-president trump, they decided to make a measured move. and again, i'm just telling you legally, policy wise how this worked. it wasn't some sweeping restriction on confiscating guns, taking back people's guns, anything like that. they banned just this device that makes these guns deadly. and they did it through executive action, as you probably know it's hard to get anything through the congress, and it's especially hard to get gun legislation through. but donald trump did something that really overlapped, and i would say it's one of the only gun or domestic safety measures he did that overlapped with what president obama had talked about, which is sometimes using the power of the presidency, executive action rather than going through congress. and there are many ways to do that as you may recall that are generally lawful if you're building on, fo

but to your point, this is so deeply engrained now in the republican party and a republican party headed by donald trump. i mean i would love to spike the football and say, that you know, we're now seeing reality make a come back. but the big asterisk there is can reality make a come back in american politics as long as donald trump is possibly going to be elected the next president of the united states because as mark mentioned, these things are not, they're not simply discreet. donald trump has worked very closely with each of these outlets. they are crucial cogs in the disinformation web out there. and as long as donald trump is there, and as long as you have elected officials like ron johnson who are willing to carry water for the big lie in these conspiracy theories, they can still do a lot of damage. and will do a lot of damage. >> yeah, i mean, look, we talk about trump's kind of infallibility at least in the core in terms of holding him accountability. i do think though mark, we talk about the states that are going to change this election and by all outside assessments it's, wisc

now frankly, the majority of the republican party elected republican party is more out of step withountry. this is historically not been a political issue. yes, obviously, the stem, so debate protect. i remember particularly in 2006, i was at the triple c. the issue around stem cells was significant. so that's not to say these issues have never been political, but broadly speaking the idea that a politician would be coming for your right to use ivf to conceive a child i think is feels abhorrent to most people who aren't even particularly dialed into politics. and that's where republicans really, really have a problem with your point if, if the conversation is about ivf and the access their two and talking about well, states would be incentivized to have medicaid funding. you've lost the debate, and i think that's to your point, something that people feel very strongly about on a moral and personal wealth. and i would just circled back to the use of show boat, which is very possibly true, but it is absolutely something that people around the country are interested in and care about.

party has embraced him and embraced that message. j.d. vance is right. there are not very many republicans, if any, who have credibility in their party who will say what mitch mcconnell said after january 6 and what i think most of them know in their hearts to be true. >> michelle goldberg, tara setmayer, thank you both. >>> when you are the republican pic for president and you want to overturn your conviction for multiple felonies, who do you call? the plea he made to the speaker of the house, next. se, next. clean white socks? it can with tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. this is chocolate, right? —just use... —tide... yeah. no matter who's doing it, on what cycle, or in what temperature, tide works. so i can focus on all the other questions. —do crabs have eyebrows? —ahh... for all of life's laundry questions... it's got to be tide. katie! i knew i'd find you here. i know, it's wild. i'm you from the future! anyway our doctor figured it out. all that constipation with belly pain that keeps coming back, it's ibs-c. she said linzess could help you get ahead of it. what

with felonies there, but the accused felons have also just been given big new jobs by the state republican party in those states. they've been named delegates to the national republican convention and state representatives to the ve republican national committee. they've done the same with one of the fake electors in wisconsin where republicans are trying again to recall a state h legislative leader who acted, in their mind, with insufficient , fervor to overthrow the election results in wisconsin when biden won that state and trump lost. i mean in nevada, two of the state's official electors for the 2024 election will be people who are currently under indictment for what they did as fake electors in the last election. in the republican party right now, january 6th defendants are hostages and heroes who will be fully and immediately pardoned.m fake electors will be new party leaders. brave souls who said no to the coup, you know, people who democrats and normal people briefly tried to lionize for their bravery, people like vice president mike pence, they are roundly rejected by their party while

weeks that we had this trial up in new york it is absolutely galvanized his support among the republican partyght now we'rehowing 90, 59% of all republican support president trump and what we saw in terms of support for him the trial and the verdict was absolutely massive. 140 million dollars that reraised in■u may over 2 million individual donors that have given with an average of $70 per donation online in every one of our 50 states all across the country that the republican party is absolutely unified and we're very excited about being here in milwaukee on that stage to nominate president trump and hae the standard barer going into the election. >> pardon -- >> we have absolutely seen support for the president across every single platform. and we're very excited about that we're seeing and again, it's not just big donors. it is small donors it is two■j million individual donors from all 50 states.>> thank you guys. we appreciate it. okay. >> right her-- mr. chairman. thanks. ...■, ■á

somebody who has really split the consva movement in the -- and the maga movement in the republican partyre separated by 300 or so votes. still too close to call. g some provisional ballots. but, you know, right now, mr. good is trailing the challengerd trump. ji big question at this point is will there there is a process for a recount electifor a recount in that ele. weill next days or even weeks whether that process moves forward, given that it is a super close election. it likely willeahost: a reminder viewers that bob good was one of the eight who voted to oust kevin mccarthy from his speaker role. he joined with people like matt gaetz, who went against forresib good. >> it has split the mega movement. republican party, on behalf of bob good's chngthis is an issue, where we have donald trump and his allies really split on this issue of who should represent virginia congressional district. and it has been a fascinating race to■: and one of the real marquee matchups of this primary cycle. we will talk about more of these are splitting the parties here in our half an hour with scott wong

he was appealing, in some ways, to those sort of traditional republicans who joined the party because of ronald reagan, because they wanted to see strength abroad. and he is trying to hold himself out there as their candidate, not trump, but the traditional republican candidate , in some ways. >> but loose, what traditional republicans? mitch mcconnell may have the diminishing role, he may be leaving the senate, so he has a chance to speak his mind? the idea that he wants to bring back that republican party, he is voting for donald trump. he has said it publicly. >> yeah, i mean, look, mitch mcconnell's a political animal. he knows that in order to stay in a leadership position, which he is in currently in the senate he has to support donald trump, anybody who talks with him privately knows he doesn't really like having to do that. he hasn't spoken to trump since december 14th, 2020, when donald trump refused to concede the election to joe biden after the electoral college had certified it. yes, so look, i am not going to say that mitch mcconnell is the paragon of consistency and, you

what on earth is wrong with the republican party? the grand state of the party was on full display when donald trump held a particularly unhinged rally where he spent 90 minutes, folks, spewing a combination of lies, vitriol, and rambling word salad. >> joe biden's formal granting mass -- he's going to formally grant a mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. >> less than four years ago our border was secure, inflation was nowhere to be seen, the world was at peace. >>> in 2016 we won. and then we did much better here in 2020, but lots of things happened. at the end of the year we won, but by then it was too late. >> every time the marxists indict me, i do better. what's better? this or sitting on the pacific or the atlantic? which has sharks? you don't have sharks, see? that's the big advantage. >> okay, so let's just be clear. we want to clear up a few things in the process. four years ago the world was not at peace. trump did not win the state of wisconsin or the election in 2020. and he has not been indicted more times than al

if they believe that the republican party is the rule of law party now and after everything trump haso the charges against him, which are all legitimate and after their reaction to the verdict, which was done by jurors of his peers and the fact that they try to undermine the judge in the process and they marched up there in their matching suits. the list is long and yet, here we are. they think they are the party of the rule of law? say that to the faces of the police officers who put their lives on the line on january 6th. mike johnson needs to shut up. trying to use the rule of law as their moniker. it's laughable. >> to pick up on what she was just talking about and what they had to say about january the sixth. listen to tom cotton on meet the press on why some january 6th rioters should be pardoned. >> anyone who is charged with silly misdemeanors about parading up public grounds without a permit who did not attack a law enforcement officer who did not damage public property, their pardons should be considered. many of them are about to have their charges be erased by the supreme

he's a former executive of the state republican party who is clearly now cooperating, i think, with prosecutorsened in wisconsin. jim troopis is a major republican player. he used to be a judge. very involved in republican politics. i think another name we need to throw into the mix is senator ron johnson who in fact knew about this, encouraged the legislature to overturn the election. on january 6th, as we know, he was the individual who was supposed to put these forged documents in the hampblds mike pence. mike pence and his staff wisely, courageously chose not to take them. but ron johnson was very involved in this entire plot, and had it played out the way conspirators hoped, you would have had the senior senators for the state of wisconsin passing on these forged documents to the vice president to overturn the election. >> pick up on that. why hasn't ron johnson been charged? either in the state or by doj? >> that's a tough question. there are so many people who are involved in this scheme. you know, i think it really would, had this trial gone forward in march on the jack smith cases, we

with the republican party -- will you agree with the republican partyn everyent? of course not. or the republican party says to stillor american citizens in this country. you as union members are our fellow citizens. america first means putting the citizens of including union member, first. that's my message to your brothers for asking that. right there. got a question right there. >> one last question. >> hi, i'm from ohio, and i just want to thank you for coming and really appreciate everything you guysdo. simply, i'm how can i help out in this election cycle? volunteering foy marino's campaigfor u.s.nate. i know he's a great guy. what else can i do to help vivek: what's your name? >> evan. vivek: the fact that you're asking thatue֖ country. i'm traveling the state, i'll ee you campaigning right with you. in our home state. here's what i ask from everybody. if you have money, you're either running for office or you'll support someone who is. get out the poctb and if you don't have money, knock on doors, make phone calls. spread your message. speak authentically fho yg>oun'e r

they will do and then there's also the tact of trying to bully people, and it's worked well the republican party. all these republican senators going along with what he is doing. andy's try to bully these people. he's really believe the american part -- republican party into submission. >> one of the prosecutors and alvin bragg steam used to work for the department of justice and so when you say trying to bully people, he is specifically targeting and calling out this one individual and hopes that it will serve as an intimidation tactic, i think. >> and to sully the whole department and the rule of law and justice to say this isn't real. and we know, i mean, will hurd said it best pick this guy is running for president. he declared because he thought it would prevent him from being indicted. >> i want to highlight something marcus said about threats against the jury from her colleague, ken delaney and a group that monitors right- wing social media says it has identified online calls to docs jurors, judge robert fico and others and it identified a high volume of social media posts containing viol

donald trump was the biggest largest figure looming over that he is now change the republican party acular moment you're going to have new leadership t rise up within the party the party he has made whether he wins or not in november and i personally think he is going to win and probably went pretty easily. this is a situation we are about to see how the party adapts to be a party that has different priorities than it did before donald trump came along. >> the trenchant bureaucracy in this country two and half million strong the vast majority of which is in the camp of the democrat party. the entrenched media in washington and new york which controls much of the media that goes on out there. and of course the democrat party the iron triangle this iron triangle is not going to give it very easily it never does. it is going to fight to the last man and woman is in it? what's it really is. that is why you see the kind of desperation and the way they are currently talking. keep in mind is still a long way until november. i think you see that desperation and you hear it all you have to do

there is tremendous unity in the republican party. we want to see borders. we wanto see a strong military. we want to see money not wasted all over the world. we don't want to see russian right off the coast of florida, which is what they are right now. it is unthinkable. we want to see just success for our country. and we don't have success right now. we have information that is killing everybody. we have levels of inflation that nobody has seen for, they say 42 years, they say 53 years, they say 75 years. i would say probably all of them are wrong. probably we have never seen levels le this before. we are going to end that. we are going to bring back our jobs, bring about, since government and strong borders, people come into our country illegally, not pouring in from prisons all over south america and all over the world. it's not just south america, by the way, it is all over the world, will not have them pouring in from of mental institutions which is where ■9ty are coming from in large numbers. large numbers are terrorists. we are not going to have this

he calls the stuff out readily but he is an outcast in the republican party, almost like he was never nominee for president. he is an outcast. he's leaving the senate. there are few, if any, left of his breed of republican after the election. >> right well, i mean lindsay graham used to be that breed but he is totally transformed. tomorrow is a big day for former president trump. he has his meeting with a probation officer. real quickly, let's play the former corrections commissioner marty horn, of new york city, how he described it. >> we use the term. we call it, is this individual amenable to supervision. that means is he or she receptive to accepting the restrictions that are placed upon them, in the event they are placed on probation. will they comply with the rules, or are they people who are likely to violate the rules? >> all right. you already know what i'm going to ask. >> none of this applies to trump. absolutely no remorse. he is not following the rules. my great fear is, though, he's going to be sentenced to prison and become even a bigger martyr than he is now. >> i spen

we are at a moment when the republican party says the legal system doesn't work.he heros. everybody involved in making the legal system work should feel fear for their lives. the country should rain down fire if he faces any more legal consequences. the republican party is wrong about that and trump is wrong about that. our system is strong. and so are we. and so are we. watch me. with cascade platinum plus i have upped my dish game. i just scrape... load... and i'm done. in that dishwasher? in that dishwasher. only platinum plus is packed with more dawn to remove up to 100% of grease and food residue. get the highest standard of clean, even in your machine. clean enough for ya? yeah. scrape, load, done. cascade platinum plus. dare to dish differently. it's never a good time for migraine, especially when i'm on camera. that's why my go-to is nurtec odt. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. it's the only migraine medication that helps treat & prevent, all in one. don't take if allergic

, the reagan wing of the republican party, which criticizes biden for insufficient support for ukraine and demands the complete defeat of putin. she does not add a single voter to him. those trump cattle that go to his rallies and congratulate him, they should sneeze. they don't even know what ukraine is and where it is. trump stubbornly continues. without any apparent political reason, harms his political prospects. this proves what many analysts have been saying: there is a kind of frightening dependence of trump on putin. do you remember that scene after the summit in helsinki, when they talked with trump endlessly, for over an hour, and then they went out to the public, little ones. i don't know what documents and what arguments putin presented there, but today's trump policy proves it, his attempt to save putin, as you rightly said, is a hopeless defeat, no one from the biden administration today, despite all our claims to this administration , will agree to this agreement , especially europeans. his hope that trump will win the election and save will bring him salvation t

the republican party that i was interested in becoming part of 20 years ago. >> it just, it's always a gut punch still. >> and i then, then this upside down world where joe biden, he wants to reflect ronald reagan like this is on purpose. he is not accidentally sounding like a republican. >> he is purposefully trying to echo ronald reagan and bring the idea that america's role in the world is extremely important, which is an idea yes, i was raised on at which the republican party no longer believes, which is kind of amazing when you think about joe biden's history. >> you know, launching his first presidential run in 1987 as a total opponent to ronald reagan. and all things, butler reagan did for that was the joe biden then. and you are right, it is it is clearly intentional i think the white house, when they say that the comparisons are inevitable, they want those to be the comparisons on the substance, not necessarily on the oratory or the performance because those comparisons may not perform as well provided. obviously, reagan was in a sort of unique tier of a messenger. and those
