joining me now is the civil rights attorney rnc national committee woman for california. think a lot of liberals want americans to focus on first african-american woman potentially on the court, her personality, she's a nice person , but what of this toxic ideology which she obviously supports in some way. >> i think it's deeply concerning and i say that as a lawyer who practices before the courts myself. what we want is judges who are going to look at our circumstances of our particular case and decide the case fairly applying the existing law. as a supreme court level, there is added weight to that because the court often makes the law. in her last confirmation hearing , this judge expressed to the senate that she actually didn't have a particular judicial philosophy, so i think it's fair for senators this tim around to look at who she openl says she admires fred professor bell is one, he said some toxic things and she mentioned how hi book written back in the early 90s made a big impact on her and the book is about white people selling black people to people from outer

former vice president indirectly called out his former boss donald trump on friday at an rnc event when in the gop for apologists for putin. what do you make of pence's comments now, especially given he said nothing while trump was cozying up to putin during his term? and do you think republican figures, such as trump or tucker carlson, who sound sympathetic to putin, are a fringe element or do they have real influence? >> i don't know they're a fringe element. they might be in the minority, but they are voices that set the framing and narrative for many people across the country. those who follow conservative media and listen to tucker carlson more than they do mitch mcconnell or mike pence. those voices giving aid and comfort to putin are either doing it out of pure ignorance. truly there is a large swath of ignorance in the republican party. or it's malice or it's just values antithetical to the west. i think that third is most dangerous. when pence steps on the field and says this is wrong, there could be no aid and comfort to putin, that voice is welcome but it's a little too late.

joining me, lynn cooper, and former rnc chair, michael steele. msnbc political analysts.more of your beat, the iran deal. is that really going to happen in this moment? i mean, seriously? >> this is so typical, right, whenever our attention is drawn away from something, you all of a sudden -- i had not been paying attention to what was going on with iran nuclear negotiations, things were looking so bad. i remember a couple weeks ago we started to see percolations coming up, but at the moment things seem to be going forward. rock mali is in talks with them. we'll see where we get. >> adrian, the iran deal, there's complicated democratic politics with that deal. there's a lot of particularly northeastern democrats who probably were fine if this went away. now it is awkward timing and certainly politically going to be weird to be working with the russians. >> yeah. the timing is strange. certainly not advantageous to senate democrats and the administration. >> the administration is pushing this though. >> right. but still not something they even want to be heavily engaged in

the midterms, there's no question it's going to be a central focus for republicans and people at the rncand it's tough to say somebody works as a federal public defender, and that makes them soft on crime, and so you don't really get to go after somebody for just having worked in the criminal defense space. it's hard to see how that particular line of criticism could function in a meaningful way for republicans going into these confirmation hearings. that said we do know moderates like abigail spamburger from virginia have raised concerns in relation to the criminal justice issue. it's something democrats will have to think clearly in terms of what do they think is the right message to take and the right policy positions to take on this issue as they know republicans are gearing up to make it a key focus on the midterms. >> for president biden, it seems like there has been a string of weeks where he had to do all the jobs of the president and if this is a win, they get credit for a win and it's not just, oh, sure, she was always going to get confirmed and it's a flat check the box. >> i

right before the rnc, trump hired paul manafort to run his campaign for free.he guy who got prudence puppet in -- during that campaign they altered the official republican platform to tone down military assistance to the ukraine. in no uncertain terms, that was a direct gift to russia. trump's own ties to russian money started coming under scrutiny. >> so to be clear, mr. trump has no financial relationships with any russian oligarchs? >> that's what he said. that's what i said. that's, what our position is. >> convincing. as campaign manager, paul manafort also stayed in contact with that russian operative. many cysts backed it he was just a link between the campaign and russian intelligence. the two men went on to cook up a bizarre plot where the eastern ukrainian territory of donbas, now the target of putin 's invasion. or where the war started, it never really stopped. that it would break off to its own russian country, possibly under the rule of former disgraced russian dependent manner covid. he was outed from the campaign when his obvious corruption is t

so the rnc just tweeted out this little meme saying, kbj should be crt. that's specifically the strategy. the problem has been, only marsha blackburn and ted cruz really seem to have gotten the memo and are staying on this point. the rest of the senators appear to be departing from the talking points for really good reasons. it's really ugly. it looked like i saw ted cruz commit a hate crime, it was mccarthyism at its worst. insinuating that because she was on this georgetown day school board, that she's responsible for every little thing in every book that is being written there. spoiler alert, judge jackson is not going to the supreme court to call babies racist. but ted cruz wants to gin up white grievance ahead of the midterm. and it was disgusting and ugly to watch. >> that's your strong take on it. and the entire obsession with what is fundamentally a graduate education pedagogy, a somewhat obscure part of academics, thrown at her as if it was relevant. and it has something to do with the race of the nominee, which should be out of bounds. and she's

we have two special guests with me on set in washington, former rnc chair michael steele and barbaraou first because that was not just law but a lot of politics. and the arguments seem to be this judge for some unexplained reason loves criminals and wants to make sure they get out of prison right away so they can keep committing crimes. it's the ongoing trope inside the gop and you put into context the ownership of issues around law and order. you saw the reference to covid and things like that. look, the reality of it is there is no hook to hang a hat on when it comes to this particular judge. she is probably the most qualified for this position of any judge that's been put before the committee in a generation. seriously. when you go back and look at her record and you consider the diverse nature of that record as a public defender, as a judge, as an advocate, she brings qualities that the court needs in what is a growing diverse population of citizens. so it will be interesting to see how they get positioned on this. you saw the run up to that today, as you've noted and discussed a

the rnc, you know, some republican senator, those people should go do something useful with their livesdea what they're doing. stephen miller, i appreciate your coming on tonight and speaking as clearly as you always do. thank you so much. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: you know, if you take three steps back, the problem with the debate that were having over ukraine and russia and particularly with bio labs in ukraine isn't that people disagree about what the facts are. it's that nobody involved seems to be able to think clearly, think rationally, think empirically. everyone seems to have gone crazy, and that's bad because the people who have gone crazy for the ones making all of the decisions. so it's not really about this specific issue. it's about our leaders' capacity to lead. but the bio weapon story is such a perfect illustration so we just talk to tulsi gabbard who was denounced as treasonous and potentially a murderer by a sitting u.s. senator. admittedly it was mitt romney but he spoke for many great she said look, the undersecretary of state has said under oath ther

donald trump's super pac has more than $110 million, more than the dnc and rnc combined here.ican party. there is no widespread dissent or uprising here and he's on his way to win the nomination again. this is why it goes beyond january 2024. the big question is here, if you are throwing off an ally like brooks, are you potentially overplaying your hand here? he is trying to -- primary challengers, nine republican congressmen and women here. at some point, to some of these individuals in the months ahead look to pence or others to say, we know we have been doing this for six years, but enough is enough. >> and we should be clear, -- we're sending no books is something that book said months ago. it's clear to me that he backed the wrong horse in the primary and the endorsement is not -- >> where is his influence? this is donald trump's thing. he usually picks winners. right? but now two months before the primary, his candidate appears to be a loser. he is now third in several polls here. and right before a potential -- his potential candidate -- doesn't even make the runoff, he

the rnc uses salesforce software for its fundraising efforts, says the u. s.se select committee subpoena violates the first amendment and fourth amendment and quote does not advance a legislative purpose. according to axios, the panel hopes to use the subpoena to find out who was crafting and sending fundraising emails and how they impact his supporters who read them. it is now 7 40 will crypto currency getting a lot of attention lately, including from the white house. president biden has signed an executive order for several government agencies to investigate the digital currency and the potential the treasury department and other agencies will look into the risks and the benefits of cryptocurrency how investors can be better protected and the future impact it could have only economy and on national security. that our economy would would consider also adding a digital dollar, i think is a huge endorsement to the technology. now the white house involvement comes as lawmakers are concerned that russia might use cryptocurrency to escape all of the economic sanct

emails during the presidential campaign, and she decided against hillary clinton and in favor of the rnc. that's not the work of a critical race theorists. joy, when you look at her actual record, the claim that judge jackson is a critical race theorists, it's nothing more than a right-wing ally, and i guess judge jackson's detractors have to make stuff up because her actual record is unimpeachable. >> by the way, they still think that ibrahim candy is a critical race theorists. i've asked him. he is not. they don't know what critical race theory is. they're not smart enough. supposedly, ted cruz went to law school, apparently only ketanji brown-jackson was in class and he was given classic sleeping because he doesn't know what critical race theory is. he abraham candy is not a critical race theorists. anyone who says he is a liar. i'll talk to you harry. what bothered me about watching this today was man, and i will specifically say josh hawley, who had nothing to say, and fully supported brett kavanaugh. they are claiming that they are the defenders of the -- they will defend the integ

we look at this as a foreign policy and domestic challenge for the president, i'm joined by former rnc chair michael steal who endorsed biden, and evelyn with a specialty in ukraine, i just read the traditional marks where we get these skperpts i think viewers recall in ukt years and part of the excerpts they released are on this front and i'm curious, i want to read a little again, as i mention on the nato front, we just got this and the president says basically, diplomacy matters, putin's war was premeditated and unprovoked. he rejected efforts at diplomacy, the president will say tonight, kargd to prepared remarks and as i mentioned earlier in the read, saying that putin really misunderstood the response he would get. your reaction to that news? >> yeah, ari, so first of all, i have to say that president biden really has met his moment. i mean this moment on the global stage, he needs to highlight it because it is really critical for us and for democracy and really the world. we're trying to prevent world war iii so he needs to bring that lesson home and it's his opportunity to shin

lauren: the rnc at $45.5 million.he brings in his money. he could use the funds for television ad for a run in 2,024 and is using it now as he did last year to endorse fellow republicans in the midterms. stuart: that is what he is using his money for. the time roles on. 10:51. here is brian kilmeade. yesterday i was joined by donald trump. i told him looking back to the elections of 2,020 is not a good strategy and he disagreed. what say you? brian: you are right. i don't know anybody who thinks it's a good idea. maybe steve bannon who calls everyone on this station stupid except jesse and tucker. i think anybody who is against donald trump wants him to keep talking about 2,020 was anyone who wants to make sure he is not president again wants him to continue talking about 2020. anyone who thought he did good things under difficult circumstances, the stuff he brought on his it himself, the russian hoax and over his head the last two years, the constant being harangued over his taxes and being harangued now, he was able

joining me rnc chair ronna mcdaniel. ronna, thank you very much for being here.ion is pushing americans to buy electric vehicles and they're okay with gasoline prices where they are because it will dictate behavior they expect, your reaction. >> biden made a promise on the campaign trail. he wanted to kill theios and gas industry. he said it over and over again. he is keeping the promise. he would rather buy gas from dictators from russia and venezuela. who is paying the price, the american family, the american small business owner, they are all struggling. this was intentional and part of game plan from day one and he's not deviating from the plan despite the hardship being put on the american people? maria: the climate change agenda is the priority, ronna. you are still talking about elevated levels, crude at 112 right now. brent is higher than that. the energy market has been rising since the beginning of the russia-ukraine conflict but even before that. i mean, look we saw inflation take hold as soon as joe biden sign intoed law his covid relief package a yea

their political committees, i don't know how you can arrive at any other place and agreeing with the rnc that there is no place in the republican party for those who abuse their power like liz cheney and adam kissinger. >> let me ask you, we will get into these midterm elections in this year in 2022. what is going to be the end result of this committee? what are we expecting from the january 6 committee? >> it's obviously a political circus designed to take all the attention away from what americans really care about, which is inflation, crime, fentanyl is the leading cause of death for americans age 18 to 45, working age americans because of the border crisis. the border crisis is another issue americans care deeply about. the foreign policy missteps of this president who -- bob gates was right when he said joe biden has been wrong on every major foreign policy issue for 40 years, and he wrote that 10 years ago. that's what the american people care about but the democrats know this is going so badly for the democrats that they will do anything to change the subject. >> you are also canc

a money contact between the trump campaign and the rnc.famous right wing figures who volunteer her as their key contact or plug going into the sixth. including alex jones. >> i knew that caroline wren was a big fund-raiser headed up one of trump's pacs so yes, that was my contact for the 5th and 6th. was caroline wren. >> when it comes to doing this work, the january 6th committee knows what investigators always know. you have to go to the sources to get all of the information and evidence. i can tell you right now tonight, caroline wren joins me for her first msnbc interview about all of this. she is rarely if ever discussed these issues or the probe on the news. caroline wren is my guest. thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i appreciate it. so much interest in all of this. let's start with that rally. what was in your mind the goal for the january 6th rally, and when do you think it went off track? >> sure. i think the rally afforded for hundreds of thousands of americans to gather in their nation's capital to exercise

the now joining me now is hami dillon, civil rightscivi attorn rnc national committeewoman for california inmate. i'd like i think a lot of liberals want america to focus on first first african-american woman potentially on the court ,her personality and niceat person. but what of this toxic ideology which she obviously supports in some way? well, i think it's deeplyho concerning, laura . and i saybe that as a lawyermy who practices before the courts myself, what we really want in judges is judges who are going to look at our circumstance of our particular case and decide pe the case faa applying the existing law obviously at the supremew court level there's added weight to that because the court often makes the law. ir and inma her last confirmation hearing, this judge expressed to the senate that she actually didn't have a particulardi judicial philosophy. so i think it's very fair for senators this time around to take a look at who she openly says that she admires. professor bell is one who said some very toxic things and she's mentioned how hishe book written back in the early 90s mad

we are reregistering them and the rnc is reregistering voters at the gas pump.eling the pain they walk over the registration and say i am voting republican. i give rhonda mcdaniel a lot of credit for that. stuart: i hear a lot of snowbirds from the north came down to florida as they usually do in december but this year they are saying, not going back. is that just anecdotal nonsense or is there something to that? >> there is something to it. people that visited are saying i'm not going back to new york or massachusetts or illinois with lockdown policies, high taxes, where government makes decisions but at the end of the day, we have to have them reregister to vote in florida where their vote matters and between the florida republican party, the grassroots efforts, the democrat during covid shut their ground game operation down. we kept going and you are seeing the differences, you will see florida go from purple to red, final thing is with the hispanic population, they know socialism and are coming to our side and with biden trying to deal with maduro in venezue

. >> meanwhile, the rnc seeing an opportunity to capitalize and do their own midterm branding. rhonda mcdaniels tweeting this during the campaign. biden plans to make it so there is no ability for the ability to drill, period, and spirit now that he has not tried to limit all its stomach u.s. oil production, he's not telling the truth. it appears that the oil industry stands ready to work with both parties in the white house to get prices down, but they're not ready to be vilified in the process. >> bill: thank you. griff jenkins. on it goes. it's not just prices at the pump. as we mentioned a moment ago, president biden is pointing the finger at putin for your red-hot bills at home. prices has been rising since the day he took office. question, what gives on that? >> julie: as russia's military strengths wanes, fears grow that putin will turn to cyber warfare. how vulnerable is the u.s. to cyberattacks and are we ready to fight back? >> bill: biden refusing to make the transfer of were friends and dismissing planes from residents of linsky and his own party. senator tom cotton

let's bring in boston globe's senior columnist, kimberly, and former rnc chairman, michael steel is herehow much, michael, that you've watched is about our judicial abilities? how much is about the midterms in 2024? >> oh, it's about the midterms in 2024. even the presidential election at this point. you have, you know, a number of these individual senators like cruz and holly are trying to do the jockeying position for 2024. at the end of the day, the country's looking at this and recognizing that what you just showed there for example from ted cruz is all performtive. this is not about the substance of actually getting into the judicial, you know, thinking of this judge. how she processes it. you know, judge brown put this in front of us from the very beginning. she said i write my opinions in detail. they are long for reason. it is very clear that even if you pull out those eight or nine porn cases, these individual senators were not seriously taking her judicial thinking about process into account here as you could tell from the questioning. >> yeah, i mean, kimberly, look. you could

. >> the rnc covering legal bills.nding the money on the legal effort. >> pick on what neal is talking about and i think used the word chilling. what's chilling about it is that the first place we learn about stitching together the evidence to accuse the ex-president of a felony conspiracy to defraud the government is congress and not doj. >> yeah. there's a lot of frustration there and we'll see if this ends up being a referral and if the doj will act upon it but what i thought was interesting is the way that they framed the case. they point out that the president went through the efforts in the courts to challenge the election results. 60 daises. losing all of them. this line stuck out to me. they began to plan extra judicial efforts to overturn the results and prevent the president-elect from assuming office. he had every right to challenge, to go through the process of challenging results through the courts. they went and tried to do something that's extra judicial. frankly illegal. >> i think extra judicial isn't

eugene daniels here, plus former rnc chairman, my good friend, michael steel is here and former whiteent obama, robert gibbs is here. eugene, what do you expect to hear tonight? >> we're going to hear the president first and foremost talk about ukraine. that is not just something on the minds of those of us at msnbc and working in politics. it's on the minds of the american people as they watch this invasion at home. i think more importantly, the cohesion, going against russia. the kind of support ukraine is getting. i think he's going to take credit for doing that. one of the things that the white house has you know, always talking about is how much does a president say about how they're going to take credit for a lot of these things, but a lot of this is because of president biden. yesterday, jen psaki, the beginning of her press briefing, she outlined these things. that's number one. you're also going to see him focus on the economy. you're going the see him talk about most importantly, how they're going to cut costs as inflation continues to bother americans. continues to force pr

stuart: one quick thing, commissioner, the rnc is launching a initiative to register voters at gas stationsing to do that? >> that is great idea. we've been registering voters at bars and restaurants shut down by liberal progressive county judges and mayors, standing up to the freedom that the legislature and governor passed w this america last policy we're seeing from the biden administration, texas being the energy capital of the world i think it will only galvanize republicans and folks that haven't voted in some time that we need to get back to america first policies, building jobs in states like texas throughout the country, where we have clean, renewable, also fossil fuels sable to develop right here right now, to help our strategic partners in western europe and eastern europe to promote freedom. as governor perry would say, freedom gas, export it from the great state of texas. stuart: george p. bush in texas. thanks very much for joining us. see you soon. thank you. >>> republicans are wrapping up efforts to recruit black voters for midterms. what are they doing. lauren: focusing on

now the rnc uses salesforce software for its fundraising efforts and says the u. s.uote does not advance the legislative purpose. according to axios, the panel hopes to use the subpoena to find out who was crafting and sending fundraising emails and how they impacted supporters who read them. cryptocurrency is getting a lot of attention recently, including from the white house. president biden has signed an executive order for several government agencies to research the digital currency and the potential role that the federal government might have in regulating it. the treasury department and other agencies will look into the risks and benefits of crypto how investors can better be protected and the future impact it could have on the economy and national security. that our economy would would consider also adding a digital dollar, i think is a huge endorsement to the technology. the white house involvement comes as lawmakers voiced concern that russia might be using crypto to escape the slew of economic sanctions imposed on russian banks and oligarchs. our time is 6

ronna mcdaniel the rnc chairwoman tweeted this, don't like biden's gas hike, vote. republicans going to gas stations nationwide to register voters. interesting idea. rachel: it's a great idea! the question is will they actually do it. i think it is a fabulous idea when people are the most angry, when they get the total at the end of the filling up. i heard people say, they only fill up halfway because it is, just too depressing to fill up all the way. joey: i can only fill up halfway, they stop at $99. a truck like mine takes more gas. do normal fill-up off, that is how i felt it. pete: famous viral segment on tnt, if you want to beat up the high gas prices only fill up halfway. rachel: that will do it. pete: if you break down the logic it doesn't really work but i like it. rachel: before we go, i just had a segment on it, maybe people didn't caught it, dvr mark moran, how supposedly green electric cars are not that green at all, actually more energy, take more energy than regular cars. i don't understand what is going on with this green movement. they have destabil

will: that is literally an rnc ad.en, war in afghanistan. pete: southern border. will: take a year's worth of news, you got exactly what you ordered. rachel: exactly right. pete: i guess it is indignant to say we, looking at all the available evidence you're exactly right, it is a script that will read in 30 seconds. they show exactly what we didn't order. do they really think people ordered these crises and this inflation? they ordered policies in their mind that led to them. i don't know. rachel: they been also add obama at the end of the ad, elections have consequences. this is what you ordered america, you know, vote better next time, democrats. pete: we are monitoring new reporting that dozens are dead after russian strike on a peacekeeping complex in ukraine. we're live on the ground all morning. plus as 1.6 million ukrainians flee just to poland, the new concern that that country may soon be overwhelmed. potato truc. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoe
