on the republican side, though, the likely republican presidential nominee, donald trump, he will not be on the ballot in the nevada primary tomorrow. his opponent nikki haley will be, but trump will not. trump will be on the ballot later this week for a nevada republican party caucus which is going to take place on thursday. in the caucus on thursday, nikki haley will not be on the ballot. now, does this make any sense at all to the average nevada republican voter? no, it does not. because it can't make sense to anyone because it doesn't make sense objectively. but the leadership of the nevada republican party frankly is -- you have a little empathy. they're distracted. they're under indictment. the state republican party chairman goes on trial less than a month from now along with five other leading nevada republicans for having signed their names to fraudulent electoral vote certificates and putting themselves forward as fake electors for trump, even though trump lost the state of nevada to president biden by a lot in 2020. to try to make sure that no republican candidate would hav

economy, and we partnered with republicans to get that done. democrats have been able to repeatedly lead the effort to avoid a government shutdown and make sure that we are funding the government in a manner that meets the needs of the american people in terms of their health and economic well-being. and democrats, as recently as last week, were able to lead the effort in the house of representatives and partner with republicans to enact a tax package designed to improve the lives of the american people in terms of the child tax credit enhancement and enhancement of the low-income-housing tax credit. when republicans a recognize that they are incapable of governing on their own, things happen. when republicans choose a my way or the highway approach, as was the case in wasting time on the mayorkas impeachment, they crash and burn. [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: there are several republicans who are not in leadership who have reached out to my colleagues on the democratic side here in the house to indicate a willingness to work together to advanc

as republican union support grows. support for this strike grows even among republicans.s who support the car companies over the striking autoworkers is only 9%. so huge majorities of americans side with the folks on the picket line, basically nobody sides against them. and there's president biden, not only vocally supporting them, not only saying as president that they should get what they're asking for, but again, as president, physically joining them on the picket line to make the point, making history by doing so. now, what are the republicans gonna do in response? i mean, you think about it, he's heading into reelection. you have -- if you are a republican, what do you do the day after that, the day after the president comes across the country to do that, the day after the president does something that bold on an issue that popular to stand with people the whole country is united and rooting for. if you are in public, and what do you do? what, looking for a bunch of leading republicans, the day after joe biden did that, they were unavailable. they had to wash their h

there are three republicans, four republicans who voted against it. three of them are firm no votes. ken buck of colorado. tom mcclintock and mike gallagher. a fourth member, blake moore, voted against it, but that was for procedural reasons, so they could call off the vote again. so when this vote happens again in the future to impeach mayorkas, they almost certainly will have the votes to go forward because steve scalise, a majority will be back after recovering from an illness. a short-lived victory but still a victory for democrats in scuttling this effort that republicans had hoped they could cheer for the impeachment of mayorkas making him the second cabinet secretary ever to face high crimes and misdemeanor charges from the united states house of representatives not happening today because of this failure here. just in a matter of moments we do expect this also to fail. this vote on the floor to approve $17.6 billion in aid to israel would be 2/3 majority of the house to do it because house republicans in the freedom caucus, the far right facti

state republican party. kuramo who's a vocal election denier who'd just lost the race for michigan secretary of state and never conceded. connection, possible so. but michigan republicans decided to put ms. kuramo in charge of their party anyway, and then they immediately started fighting about it, literally. that spring not one but two consecutive meetings of the michigan republican party broke into physical altercations, one of which involved testicle kicking, chair slamming, and a broken rib. after ms. caramo's first year as chair the republican party is in dire financial straights. that's led to accusations she's misused party funds. a faction of the party voted to oust her. they elect adnew party chair. the only problem was that christina caramo is an election denier and election deniers do not admit defeat or concede power. that's kind of their whole stick they ended up with two competing party websites both declaring a different person to be the party's official chair. last week the national republica

she's the republican.st meadow, new york out lauren what is the thinking inside phillips camp? what are you hearing about voter turnout, any goals they tried to reach? >> what's the story >> yeah, republicans overall are watching this race really closely. and jake, they're nervous about the fact the turnout was loaded. a there was a snowstorm in this district. >> obviously that is having an impact. how many republicans they were able to get to the polls you heard from maasie pill earlier today, she was encouraging voters to get out on the road saying it was safe to get out on the roads and telling them but they needed to call and get a ride if they were uncomfortable because republicans know that their voters vote on election day. that is why it's so important. for them to have turnout and when they're looking at the fact that turnout just wasn't what they wanted it to be, that makes them nervous. i talked to one republican operative who told me it would really suck to lose this race because of a snow day,

this is the choice republicans face today. they can either choose what's good for the countries national interest, or they can choose what's good at least in their minds for donald trump. mr. president, i've always believed the senate works best when we take the bipartisan path. not everything is perfect in this bill, but i see it as my job to let bipartisanship take old whenever possible. and this bill reflects that. but all week long senate republicans have looked more and more like their house counterparts and transform themselves to the chaos caucus. republicans have said they can pass ukraine without border. now they say they can't pass ukraine with border. so today i'm giving them a choice. they can show america where they stand and what they stand for. which way will it be? today, i have laid out both options for republicans to do the right thing. democrats certainly want to fix the border. it is extremely important and which shalle and our willingness time and time again to take big steps to secure the border come but

republicans. but don't let them fool you. h.r. 7160 is simply a band-aid for a problem that the twice-impeached, four-times indietd former president trump and republican congressionals -- congressional folks caused in the first place. they created this problem that they now want to put a band-aid on. they capped the salt deduction in their tax bill to give tax breaks to the wealthiest corporations and c.e.o.'s. as we know, republicans and trump seem to care more about the richest americans. there are real emergencies all americans want this congress to address. the federal government could shut down in just two weeks. and absolutely -- an abdisaster that these bills done mention. that should be our priority. yet we have another week of chaos and dysfunction, dealing with things that are not priorities for the american people. it's another week that republicans allow small sections of their party to dictate -- dictate -- dictate what we see on the floor. it's another week that extreme maga republic

i was born a republican. my family was a republican, raised a republican.those weird people. i read the constitution quite often. >> nothing weird about sweet norma. luke, so many people are afraid to take on donald trump. what does it say that 91 year old norma anderson is not? >> well, we have seen a pattern, i think, in donald trump's tenure as president and ex president, and that is many of the people who have been willing to speak up against him have been women. if you look at the january 6th committee testimony, a lot of those were young women who saw what happened in the trump white house and came forward publicly about it. you look at liz cheney who was the republican lead of that committee and her stance calling out donald trump. and here, you have another example. so i do think you see a pattern there, just what you pointed out, of strong women who are taking a stance. >> all right, last topic, you know we have to hit it before i let you leave, they've. for the first time, judge tanya chutkan has publicly acknowledged that the federal election int

why was the night when from republicans? >> the republican party does not want to solve this issue. it's quite the opposite, they want to do everything possible to lie about the issue, make it seem larger than it is, scared the hell out of people. because there's actually nothing positive to run on, no solution. >> how is tonight a wind threat them? who are the voters besides the base who are saying, rock on, -- that was a good one. >> it's not a win, and, by the way, look at the election, this special election is not just about long island. what this is about, it's a bell weather for where the american people are going, what they are thinking and feeling. go back several years, right? remember the conor lamb special election in 2017, right? the democrats or down, did not know if they could win, this or that. he comes in and wins a seat that people did not think that he could win. similar to this, and the democrats went on to take the house. that's exactly what is going to happen in just a few short months. this is an indication of. that >> 260 odd days. mark, we mentioned george sa

republicans notice.kellyanne conway put the memo out trying to tell them, hey guys, you don't want this issue front and center. we are going to lose for us. it should. be women's rights should not be under attack in 2024. this is not an episode of the handmaid's tale. but if you empower these people and let them get voted into office, it will be. >> tara setmayer, always bringing it. appreciate. you thank you so much. coming up, the republican plan to win the next election with a can of gold spray-paint and some sneakers. that deeply centered goal ploy in a fox news global light. for the ages. next. the ages. next. in a way that is meaning ful. i work hard, and i want my money to work hard too. so, i use my freedom unlimited card. earning on my favorite soup. aaaaaah. got it. earning on that éclair. don't touch it, don't touch it yet. let me get the big one. nope. -this one? -nope. -this one? -yes. no. what? the big one. they're all the same size. wait! lemme get 'em all. i'm gonna get 'em all! earn big

republicans don't love. she went on saturday night live the day of the south carolina democratic primary and participated in a sketch where she was talking with a trump impersonator and her riffing about nikki haley issues like trump taking a mental competency deep -- mental competency test. that's not going to endear her with voters. she's the only one left and they think once trump is in legal peril, most republican voters decided he was being unfairly targeted and they had no sympathy for somebody who wanted to keep the primary going. i saw his last week at the rnc meeting. there was a lot of anger among the more conservative members of the rnc that were maga members that nikki haley is running at all. you hear that from a lot of republican voters. host: you in nevada we talk about what to expect but talk about how they do their primary and how they split it. guest: it's complicated. democrats ran the state for the last four years. they changed it instead of a caucus that has a primary. that said democrat

versus handing the keys to republicans. look at what republicans are doing and they're saying. wait a minute republicans continue to do everything around. why would i trust them with the future of the country? and iti think that is the big thing. look, special elections in march before the november election allow a lot of message testing. republicans had every message to fire into this race. they had all the money that they cewanted to spend. and they hacame up short in the district that george santos had one. george santos won this district. and they got humiliated tonight. the lesson? and republicans continue to do everything wrong and they refused to learn from their mistakes. >> messaging was tested. 's suozzi said the opposite lies about me and i'm gonna hit you over the head. everyone. >> mine was investing makes a difference. this g district is 20% api. and the suburbs are the barbs. suburbs used to be called wide for white women. people thought you go to the suburbs, and you're talking to white women. nowadays when you're talking about the suburbs across this country, y

democrat or republican. during consideration in the homeland security committee last week, republicans improperly shut down the markup and blocked democrats from offering amendments to the resolution. republicans couldn't bear to consider amendment to their poorly drafted articles of impeachment. they silenced democrats to attempted town entera dose of reality -- attempted to inject a dose of reality into the proceedings. yesterday before the rules committee republicans again failed to make their case. relying on partisan rhetoric and obvious misinformation before neither the law nor the facts are on their side. the truth is republicans' action show they don't have faith in their own case against the secretary. that's why they lack the courage of their convictions to see their markup to an end. this nonsense has to stop. and it should stop here. republicans need to start doing their work americans sent them here to do. madam speaker, i urge my colleagues to honor their oath to the constitution, listen to the

this is the whole republican agenda. they refused to work on legislation, policies and moving the country forward. they are obsessed with the theatrics of it all. even when it goes to the semi, we know chuck schumer runs a tight ship and the vast majority of democrats will do the due diligence as they are sworn to do, but it is still a waste of time. any time that they are spending going through and making sure that they do what they should is time that they are not making legislation and not researching, a time that they are not moving this country forward. the myriad of issues that are in front of us, domestic and international. i think tori morrison said racism is essentially a time slot meant to waste our time. the same way republicans want to take time away from effectiveness of democrats. they have been relatively successful ever since donald trump got his hands on the presidency. >> i want to go back -- all right, we are going to listen to this. >> he wants open borders and most americans don't. >> you have republ

because that's what republicans wanted. they said can't do ukraine, can't do israel, can't do humanitarian aid without border. i made sure negotiators had enough time to do their work. i gave them the space to keep going, even when it seemed like a deal was out of reach. because, again, democrats want to secure the border because it's extremely important, it is urgent, it can't wait. we must act, and we are ready to move forward on this bill now. today when we vote, it will be clear as day who is serious about fixing the border and who is not. i urge republicans to take yes for an answer. now, if republicans block this national security package with border legislation that they dem demanded, later today i will give them the opportunity to move forward with a package without border reforms. this package will otherwise be largely the same. it will have strong funding for ukraine, funding for israel, help for innocent civilians in gaza, and funding to the indo-pacific. the legislation on the floor today is one of the most impo

because the extreme maga republicans who have taken over the republican party not concerned with solvingroblems. ey are not concerned with making life better for the american people, and they certainly are not concerned with delivering real results. and that's a shame. it's a shame. >> would you be open to conversation? rep. jeffries: to conversation we will have to have as a family discussion and we will cross that ridge when we get to eat. -- get to it. >> would you consider going around speaker johnson if he doesn't bring it up? rep. jeffries: we have to evaluate the substance of the legislation before we decide the best procedural course of action. >> can you try to get that provision in the package. do you tforward? number two, in new york, the special election coming up -- i think that would help democrats. rep. jeffries: republicans, overall, have failed on the question of the state and local tax deduction. let's remember how this journey started. 2017, republicans controlled the presidency, the house, and the senate. their signature piece of legislation that year was the gop tax

president, republican senate, and republican house. but they were willing to vote for it here. i mean how do republicans run that after turning down this immigration bill. even though it didn't have everything they wanted, it certainly was pretty conservative when you look at past legislation and past proposals. >> well, this piece of legislation was missing some things. of course, you never have perfect legislation, but not solving the problem means you're opening yourself up to attack because if something would have gotten done, you could say the border crisis was so bad even democrats came to the table to vote for republican ideas and those democrats would have to go over and champion a republican bill. and now democrats are going to say, hey, we're blaming republicans, we try to come to the table and negotiate, that's what's going to be written out. the reality is there's a lot on the border specifically that joe biden can do with a stroke of his pen and he has power within the executive branch, that's why we need a strong executiv

but the republicans have, the republicans have kind of a lot of stuff going on. the primary is only a small part of it. >> okay. so, disappointingly, for me, melissa ryerson is coming into this year saying, you have a show. you have a show. so, i actually do have to work and do this show tomorrow. i thought you are giving me what i consider a night off, which is to sit in a group of smarter than me people and say is something every once in a while. >> dam you, meadow -- now he's going to be insufferable about this for 24 hours. you raised his hopes! i'm sorry about that. >> a boy. okay. thank you, rachel. i'll get through it. >> i, thanks, lawrence. >> breaking news of the day from president biden came just a few flurries below where i'm sitting right now. at an ice cream shop, where the president shopped after stopping by taping the seth myers show. and that took place a few floors above where i'm sitting right now. in the ice cream shop, which the president could not pass up before getting in his motorcade and unlocking the gridlock traffic in manhattan by leav

none republican. you can see right now, well short of that 39, that 39 who is not enough for john mccain in 2000, he lost the state by 11 points to george w. bush. that's one thing we are seeing right now, in at least this first wave of the exit polling. the second thing we're seeing right now, i've got to point out to you, we look at this number as well. very important in republican primaries. what share of this -- calls themselves evangelical, born- again christians. two thirds, 66%. we said the train gets very different when we go from new hampshire to south carolina, how different this number was in new hampshire, it was 19%. that's one of the most secular republican nations in the country. you go to one of the more evangelical heavy electorates, look at that difference there, 47 point swing. take a look at the map, as i said, it's got to start letting up here just after 7:00. we think we'll start getting early vote port's from these counties, a lot of these counties, the early vote will be a thir

why would you, as a republican business person, as a republican community leader, as a republican coachy would you want to give that up to go into congress to suck up to donald trump? people see -- again, this isn't happening in a vacuum. who is going to want to run for senator -- who worth anything is going to want to run for senator when they know they're going to have to be donald trump's yes man and what he wants you to say yes for changes everyday. and right now is to push for a great depression, keep the southern border open, and bow down to vladimir putin. and i am serious. how do you recruit candidates under those circumstances? >> suozzi reflected that last night in his victory speech when he said about the republicans, stop running after donald trump and represent your people of your district. it's a pretty simple rule. you're sent there by people who want you to do something for them. not for some guy named trump. you got an entire republican party now who rejected, rejected the border deal. strongest deal in years. reject so far saving nato, saving ukraine, protecting europe

because we've seen nothing out of republicans or democrats.g done. the second thing is you can't have trump sitting there saying don't do anything until the election. we have a completely open border. they need to stay there, they need to figure this out. they need to adjust it, amend it any way they can, and they should not leave d.c. until they get us a border bill. and no, we are not waiting until the general election to do this, and it's irresponsible to say congress has to wait until a general election because trump is worried that he's going to lose. there's a lot of reasons we've got to worry trump's going to lose, but you don't sacrifice national security to do it. >> joining us now senior columnist for "the daily beast," matt lewis. matt, good morning. good to see you. you've got a new piece in which you call yourself an old school reagan conservative. well, there aren't too many of those left in the republican party right now. let's talk about from your vantage point what you think about what we've seen the last week or so with this

but not our republican colleagues. not our republican colleagues. they kept moving the dates back. just get it done by christmas. oh, christmas, we need more time. lindsey graham said we need a delay of christmas and get the president involved. we delayed til christmas, we got the president involved, still voting no. still voting no. and if in december senator fischer said democrats only support international aid a, what they won't support is basic border security. we are told that a our own border security is not related to this national security. that's absurd. we agreed with her, we needed it. no vote and she -- they're all voting no even on the motion to pree.d they don't even want to debate border. they don't even want to debate ukraine and aid to israel and humanitarian aid a to the palestinians. when president trump came along and said he didn't want to solve the border problem, that he wanted it as a campaign issue, speaker johnson obediently changed his tune. because you may remember with our appropriations bills, for example, we were going to marry that that to border sec

their candidate ran like a republican. he sounded like a republican talking about the border and immigration because everybody knows that's the top issue. that incumbent had been a three-term member of congress and had 100% name i.d. and deep family history in the district. our candidate was relatively unknown in that comparison and had a short runway. she ran a remarkable campaign. there was a weather event that affected turnout. that is in no way a bellwether what's going to happen this fall. we are convinced, i have been to 17 states in the last 12 weeks. i'm telling you whether i'm out west, on long island, the deep south, mid south, midwest it doesn't matter. there is a fervor among the american people. it is bipartisan. people know that this country is on the wrong track. 74% in the latest poll believe that the country's on the wrong track. why? because of leadership in the white house. they see what's happening. president biden has the lowest approval rating of any president who has ever run for re-election. 37% in

, they look at republicans are doing and they're saying, wait a minute, republicans continue to do everything wrong, i would i trust them with the future of the country? and i think that's the big thing. look, special elections in march before november election allow a lot of message testing. republicans have really every message to fire into this, race and they've holed money they wanted to spend, and they came up short in a district that george santos had one, george santos won this district, and i got humiliated tonight. the lesson, republicans continue to do everything wrong, and they refused to learn from their mistakes. the >> messaging was tested, somebody says you pushed lies about me and i'm going to hit you over the head, and he won. what was your take away? >> look, my takeaway was investing in diverse communities makes a difference. this particular district is 20% apr. in the suburbs are diverse. some are words used to be code word for white women. >> this is a really good point. >> -- and they thought people meant we are talking to white women. nowadays, when you are talk about t

it's not at all clear mike johnson and republicans have anything approaching a unified will or republicans are in any position to know what that will might be. there's even talk amongst some house republicans of circumventing speaker mike johnson or doing it without him. who knows? watch this sfas. that's going to do it for us tonight. "way too early" with jonathan lemire is up next. >>> now, let's make one thing clear, donald trump's never come anywhere near a military uniform. apparently he had bone spurs and that's why he couldn't serve. the most harm he's ever come across is whether a golf ball hits him on a golf cart. >> that's republican presidential candidate nikki haley responding to donald trump's comments about her husband who is serving overseas. we'll have more from the campaign trail in just a moment. we'll also bring you the very latest from capitol hill where a group of republican senators is several hours into a filibuster on a stand alone foreign aid bill. you're looking at live pictures right now 5:00 a.m. this comes as the biden administration is weighing whether to with

republican.rning. >> caller: yeah. i think people have forgotten this whole border mess that we currently have is all a on joe bidener and the democrat administration. one of the first things he did as president was reverse title 42 and the remain in mexico policy that trump signed which was effective. so now we have 11.5-2 -- 1.5-32 million, 3ll million if illegal immigrants coming in every year, and now they're claiming we have a problem like they have no part in it. this is all on them. and now they just turn around and say maga republicans are doingg it because we won't -- in to r letting 5,000 illegal citizens come here? this is absurd. >> host: that's doug in new jersey this morning. phone lines again, democrats, 202-748-8000.bl republicans, 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002, and that if special line for border state residents, 20 202-748-8003. show you some of the floor debate yesterday surrounding the impeachment of homeland security secretaryy alejandro mayorkas. this is texas rep

president, or republican house. but they're willing to vote for it here. how do republicans run on that after turning down this immigration bill, even though it didn't have everything they wanted. it was conservative when you look at past legislation. >> this piece of legislation that was missing some things of course. you never have perfect resolution but not solving the problem means you're opening yourself up to attack because if something would have caught and gotten done, the border crisis is so bad even democrats came to the table to vote for republican ideas. that we hubris dated with voters and those democrats would have to goal and champion a republican bill. and now democrats are going to say hey, we're blaming republicans. we try to come to the table negotiate. that's what's gonna be written. out the reality, is there's a lot on the floor specifically that joe biden can do with the stroke of his plan that he has power within the executive branch. and that's why we need a strong executive that understands

i think republican lawmakers, including mcconnell, are trying to communicate to republican lawmakerst this is how a lot of the people send you to washington, to actually fund the government. but they're not that message is going to get through two enough republicans in the house, we don't know yet. >> what are those paint points? we have gone through so many of these government shutdowns, it is almost hard to keep track of them. i fear an element of normalcy begins to gets moved, and of course are on the brink of a government shutdown yet again. in this case, given the timing of this, you have the irs chief saying that a government shutdown would likely disrupt everyone's favorite time of year, u.s. tax filing season. noting that, yes, and experience shut down before the timing of this one is especially delicate. it wouldn't be affected by the shutdown until the second wave on march 8th. i think that that is where the rubber hits the road. it's where all of a sudden, services that people rely on or interact with our disrupted's. then it becomes real to people, it becomes real to me.

republicans, on people like and including me. i hadn't objected to a single other amendment being processed, not one. yet i was told i was part of the problem. i don't get it. sometimes i wonder why somebody would run as a republican only to take one of the issues that really should be bipartisan, used to be bipartisan, has now become partisan, but apparently now a lot of republicans don't care about that much, because by golly, they're going to make sure ukraine gets funded, and they don't want any conditions attached to it. then they're going to dismiss, denigrate any republican who expresses concerns with the bill. not all of those concerns, in fact most of them, related on the amendments that i tried to page pending the other day. a lot of them dealt specifically with things that don't have to do with the border. others did. i talked about those. those were rejected that day. so too did my amendments that deal specifically with the ukraine portion of the bill. for example, i raised concerns about aid that might inevitably --

and that collusion between trump and house republicans and the house speaker is why republican senators are seething. >> to me, this looks like we got outmaneuvered. >> people have to show courage. if you're afraid, you've got to read the bill. don't be ignorant. >> we can't think that this is about political advantage for one candidate or another. >> republicans have talked about this for a long time. i'm just telling them to read the bill and make their own sk decision on it. >> langford very conservative, top republican leading the negotiations, trying to maintain his calm there despite deep frustration. republicans know that democrats are going to flip the script on immigration and run towards it and not against it if they can't pass this bill. miguel marquez is in new york where he's covering this special election. border security is now front and center. this is a must win race when you look at control of the house, miguel, and the democrat who we just heard from is feeling very confident on this issue. >> yeah, we're seeing that exact dynamic here in this race and he wants to tak

and the dysfunction this week on capitol hill from republicans, let's be clear, from republicans, submarining johnson, what's the message to the american people? >> i don't know whether the american people are listening to these people now. they're so foolish and out of touch with reality. they are elected by their constituents, each and every one of them, republican and democrat, on both sides of the capitol, senate and the house, to do something for the state they represent or the district they represent. instead, the republican party is listening to only one voice, donald trump's. it is nearly beyond belief what they are doing. i covered tip o'neill, strong speaker of the house. i remember anecdotal evidence of the strength of lyndon johnson when he was senate majority leader. those were functioning parts of government. we no longer have a functioning government in terms of the legislative process. >> it is not completely unusual for an issue to be preserved for an election. but to be so blatant about it, that donald trump is flatly saying, "i want to be able to run on immigration, so don'

but this is really republican dysfunction. and i saw one of the members said we're not acting like we have a majority. they don't have a majority. they have no functioning majority, that's what the problem is here. and that was a day like i have not seen on both sides. and, you know, being speaker is really hard. and it takes some experience. and the people who have done this before worked up through the ranks, had experience. he's coming at it and, you know, to miss a vote like that on such a huge issue -- >> the impeachment issue? >> right. flanked by the democrats and al green wasn't supposed to be there. >> so dramatic. wheeled in a wheelchair from the hospital. >> remember john mccain's thumbs down vote. >> i want to listen to more of what we heard from the speaker moments ago. this is the quote that we are going to be looking at and we are going to be picking apart the first thing he says. listen. >> democracy is messy we live if a time of divided government. we have a razor thin margin here and every vote counts. someti

back to the republican primary. back to theissue the republican primary.mocratic nominee. how likely is it that immigration could be an issue that could hurt the democrats and the biden campaign come november? i think it's going to be an issue that is going to be front of the line for americans. i believe they are going to have to take a hard look at the candidates to understand what the choices are but in the past two weeks, we have seen idea put on the table by democrats and republicans that was rejected by house republicans and those in the senate, republicans and those in the senate. so — republicans and those in the senate. so i _ republicans and those in the senate, so i believe - republicans and those in the senate, so i believe that - republicans and those in the l senate, so i believe that biden is going — senate, so i believe that biden is going to draw that distinction and say, hey, we try to — distinction and say, hey, we try to come to the table with republicans, we tried to come to the — republicans, we tried to come to the table with moderat

republican-controlled house. speaker johnson not saying what he wor to do if that would come over. after four months of negotiating that deal, the senate now exactly where it started four months ago, which is trying to pass a stand alone ukraine package. >> as alfred once said, some men just want to watch the earth burn. now, chris murphy of connecticut. one of the three lead negotiators on the border comp m compromise. we interviewed kirsten sinema, . senator murphy, thanks so much for joining us. the senate seems to be heading into a debate and amendment vote for a spending bill for israel, ukraine, taiwan. do you think that will ultimately pass? >> who knows. republican party is spiraling out of control as we speak. this is terrible for the country. it's terrible for the world. i mean, they told us back in the fall that they could not vote for ukraine funding by it own. that they needed a bipartisan border fix. the three of us who are very different legislators, very different priorities, we got a bipartisan c

but we're up against a wall with the republicans, the republicans are telling us over and over and over who they are. and they are people who are captured by the idea that extremist judges and right-wing extremists in their own party are the ones who will make decisions for women, intimate decisions about our bodies and our futures and it's true on abortion. and now they've made clear it is true on in vitro fertilization this really is about who makes decisions and the republicans say, right now, as a party it is their position decisions about women and women's health should be made by extremist judges and maga, politicians democrats say they should be made by women and their doctors. >> yeah, i mean, not for nothing, 30 to 40% of all in fertility cases are male factor, not, not female factor, but you mentioned about what republicans and kind of where they are on the policy on abortion on this particular issue. i'm sure you've seen a lot of republicans are struggling to figure out how to message, how to respond to alabama's court ruling. i want you to listen to something that republican

i just want to say that the republicans are not working for the republican people. they are working for themselves and donald trump. the package for the border [indiscernible] all right, we will go back again and see what the republican party says. they are not working for the republican people. host: that was peter aaron new jersey. republican, debbie, ohio. your next. caller: good morning. i am infuriated at the republicans in the political party right now. they represent a portion of the republican people, but they don't represent the majority. i and aggravated -- iam aggravated that the politics with trump is keeping the voters from realizing the 10 realizing that h -- realizing that haley or someone else can represent the people. congress is not representing the people. they are representing trump. it is not fair to us. i am on the verge of saying they should all be impeached because they are not representing the people, and it is time that we understand that and look for the truth of what is going on in this coming election. host: you are a republican who supp

votes of such established republicans who were not sure how far trump was ready to leave the republican party. at the same time, he doesn't need it now because he's already built a very strong reputation, he's the personification of the republican party right now, and from that point of view, i think he's going to be looking for a person. which is trump on steroids, that is , he will look for a person who defends his ideas, but even more harshly, even more outrageously, even more boldly, and it is quite possible that they are talking about takril kalsin, tucker kalson fits in many ways, he is a very public figure, he is a very popular figure in the movement within the movement of the magician that donald trump created, and he, as we've seen, consistently championed the ideas of donald trump, supported him, that's what he paid for with his position, which... he lost his show on fox news, will it alienate the general electorate, so it's clear that the republicans will vote, but who can he attract to his side in this way, i get the impression that this is trump's last campaign, he understa

you say this is a republican primary and overwhelmingly republicans want donald trump to lead the party. and yet that is where nikki haley she made the decision to o come into this race, guys, despite republican voters who ie talked to here in the state of south carolina 13 months ago telling me that they didn't want their former governor in this race, and yet she decided to ndjump in, and republican voters have made it definitively clear that donald trump's their leguy, but when y look eiat those independent voters this is where donald trump needs to win over a segment of them because you look from 2016 to 2020 he was able to draw anywhere from 15 to 25% in the major battleground states of independents compared to his performance against, or i should say he lost 15 to 25% of it independents compared to his 2016 performance against nikki haley. and so that is where, when you are y.looking at not only the numbers but also the reality that nikki haley, according to democrats is helping them, a key messenger, someone who calls herself a tea party governor who is saying donald trump can't b

26% of republicans.pendents, actually. nikki haley won about 54%. i didn't see a huge swath of black voters swinging to nikki haley, and the democrats. >> do you mean the sneaker -- >> or donald, trump the democrats are not coming out to the woodwork. my, what was happening? >> i mean, i am shocked, i am shocked that the sneakers didn't work. no, i mean look listen, i think that the idea that there was going to be some new swath of black voters, that we're going to donald trump, but in general defecting, i think that has been overblown. i think there is obviously a lot of very cynical people who have been trying to say that the republicans some how have a strategy around black voters, that the democrats don't have, that democrats have been taken for granted. but i think look, we are looking at people who have records, right. the black community has seen what donald trump did, and they are voting accordingly. we have record low unemployment for black people in the country under joe biden. people see what

the republicans have done just that. they have not taken the a sink the fact witness in the two hearings we had. the only two were temperature cats that what you are charging and secretary mayorkas does not rise to the level of impeachment. when you are in charge do igg about you want to and democrats are prepared to address the impeachment effort tomorrow with facts. we think history is on our side and we are convinced that at the end of the day, the public will see at the end of the hearing exactly what you see taking place. and absolute expha k charade in the name of an impeachment process. we'll lead the floor open to any questions you may have. [indiscernible] >> we know that referral was based on the resolution offered by congressman green. it's to pacify her. and in all if you make a referral, you should go to judiciary, but it came to homeland security. we were there and prepared to just it. pa again, it's ausual and speaks ever a deal being made. and the republican leadership weren't beated. i will let leader je

i want to thank the chairman of the queens republican party, greg meeks -- did i say republican? thank the chairman of the queens republican party. i want to thank the chairman of the queens democratic party, greg meeks, and the queens democratic party for selecting me the candidate to run in this race. i'm so grateful for this honor. i want to say, this is the best campaign i've ever been involved with in my entire life. it's been amazing. [applause] i have got to thank my best friend, the best partner anybody could have in their life, who has put up with so much. let's hear it from helene suozzi. [applause] and our daughter caroline who worked on so much of the campaign. [applause] michael and joseph. i've got to thank our awesome campaign staff. unbelievable. [applause] led by john gorman, our campaign manager. [applause] my adviser for the past 23 years, kim devlin. [applause] and the great mick ryan. [applause] i can't go through everybody on the team. you are all fantastic. you're all awesome. i've got to thank the people on whose backs really carried a large part of this c

by the republican caucus to cut the deal. dry, republican senators decided they don't want to bipartisan bill to fix the border. they want to pretend they never asked for a bipartisan border bill. because what they actually want is chaos. because that's what donald trump says he wants. what the hell just happened? >> today, senate republicans killed a border deal. they voted it down, but they themselves had demanded and spent months negotiating. it's all part of sustained effort to appreciably damage our country. so make things worse in america so that donald trump has a better chance of being elected running against an incumbent. that's it. if you think that is hyperbole, okay? i want you to listen to the very conservative, i, mean really conservative republican senator who was the key to negotiating this deal, appointed by his -- james lankford of oklahoma, on the floor today, explaining what the hell just happened. >> i had a popular commentator four weeks ago that i talked to that told me flat out, before they knew any of

congresswoman elise stefanik for instance once a normie republican and now full fledged maga republican would not even commit to certifying the 2024 election results during an interview with nbc's kristen welker. >> what about 2024? >> we will see. if this is a legal and valid election. >> just to be very clear, i don't hear you committed to certifying the election results. will you only commit if president trump wins? >> it means if they're constitutional. what we saw in 2020 was unconstitutional circumventing of the constitution. >> medish and mcclearly write in their piece that good faith can no longer be assumed. that is certainly the case. before mike johnson became speaker, meaning before anyone knew who he was, the louisiana congressman was a mouthpiece for wild conspiracy theories supporting the big lie. he then voted against certifying biden's victory even after the january 6th attack on the capitol. mike johnson isn't just an election denying republican speaker who could overturn a presidential election as if that wasn't enough, he's a man with a two-seat majority who cannot p
