and roy moore was, the base was correct identify roy moore as one of them. they were correct. they were like, we want roy moore. that's we want, we don't care if trump endorses looked a strange, he's not our dude. and this case, there's a segment of them that's like kathy barnett as one of us. doctor oz is not, and they're not wrong in that determination. >> there's no question, listen, i think roy moore, kathy barnett, this is where a large chunk of republican primary voters are. not just the social media stars, with the big followers. this is where the base is. and i think you're gonna see that replicated again and again. i think in a way, the stylish mint, and he used to use the robot can establishment. now it is the mag establishments, including donald trump. looking like they're selling out, in a way. not being true by principle. so generally would have seen in my, life democrat or republican, is when the establishment tries to slap down and insurgent. more often than not, it backfires. not always, more often than not, it does backfire. and you will see. if the thing is m

whatever problems jd vance has, it's not the problems roy moore had.uld have to mess this up for the environment to change in order to lose this race. jeff: this was the first sort of primary trump test and a primary this midterm season. we have some primaries coming up where trump has made endorsements in competitive races. pennsylvania on the 17th. he has endorsed dr. oz in the senate race in georgia on may 24. he has endorsed a slate of state-wide candidates. are these states, or compare these states to ohio and the candidates in the races to jd vance d his race. will trump be able to replicate what happened yesterday in these states? >> it is unclear. trump did stick his neck out on jd vance. we will see if that happens with dr. oz in pennsylvania. that is a race that seemed because when trump made his endorsement. brian kemp of georgia who had a falling out with trump, trump endorsed david perdue and at primary, camp seems to be doing well -- brian kemp is doing well over 50% in the primary at this point, so it doesn't look like trump will get eve

. >> eric, you've said that herschel walker in the senate primary could be roy moore 2.0. roy moore was the republican nominee for senate in alabama, lost to doug jones after the accusations, but herschel walker has the enforcement of mitch mcconnell, has the endorsement of former president trump. how far do those, plus the national championship and heisman trophy take him potentially? >> you know, listen, this is one of those years where a bad republican can get elected over a good democrat, and herschel walker is extremely popular in the state. the only thing donald trump did was convince him to run. if donald trump came out the day after that and said don't vote for walker, he'd still win because he's herschel walker: i didn't grow up in the state but a lot of people are uga fans, historically, they won the national schichampionship last . they love herschel walker, he's a dominant force in the state. he has a lot of baggage that has been unexplored. the republicans didn't have the money to explore it. the democrats will because they're playing for control of the senate

right around the time off the alabama senate race which you may remember between doug jones and roy moore what people thought there was no way we would be able to win that seat and yet we start organization and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in a short time to put it directly hands of local groups that were doing the mobilizing and black voters came out and shocked the country. it is a proven theory that if we get those resources along with other things like tools and technology and every now and then traveling and supporting them using the bus if we support those groups in doing their work we can really emphasize the issues that matter to our communities and encourage people to turn out and seize power.. >> host: i'm glad you brought that up because as you engage with your group and things like that when it comes to specific issues what are they telling your saws what's important about the people they choose to vote for? >> guest: the issues that people and black community is care about we see the same things repeatedly. we do this work around 20 states, 11 of which where we hav

. >> it reminds me when republicans put up roy moore in alabama and you have mccaskill won, and -- >> mcconnell has been worried about this the whole time but he's powerless. >> the power for the biden team, too, is to think about it as not just pennsylvania, but there will be an argument about do these people reflect the modern party. >> and the two of you know this as former campaign managers, and so pennsylvania, no early vote. if this were florida, georgia or texas with the early vote they could have banked traditional primary voters, and pennsylvania is not an early vote state. >> it's early voting without being early voting, so to speak. >> right. >> i have no knowledge of any program that these guys are running at all. >> pennsylvania laws make it very difficult. they never had a huge mail-in thing. what does it mean for the senate? here's trump trying to find them a better candidate and he can't control his own electorate anymore. >> no, but the seeds have been sewed. this is years and years, like what you said at the beginning, the leaders accepting and playing into the far r

a few years ago in bam with doug jones being able to beat roy moore., right? mad suspect clark is wrong runling for re-election. he is receiving a strong challenge from chuck edwards. it is basically dead even. this is the probability they could win and it is basically dead even zbu know what? this to me says something pause because madison caw thrn because supposedly this republican rising star, and every sickle second, i mean, who knows there might have been one during this hour. so look, they prove love trump but only llg to -- >> trump is backing cawthorn? >> yes, though i should point out thom tillis, the state's junior senator is in fact backing edwards. he also has backing from state legislative officials in that state so a lot of republicans are just not willing to tolerate the bs. >> i feel like you are fell yeling at me. >> it's my voice. >> i know. you are an actor. you are a thespian. t be yourself. what do we know about endorsement from former-president trump? we west virginia, for example? >> overall, it's been quite helpful. four out of

judge roy moore, if only republicans would have been allowed to vote.had 61% of the republican vote. your thoughts? i mean, it doesn't matter anymore. all that matters is winning. >> the republican party is not a governing party now. we can't really think of it in a normal political context that we've known all our lives. it's -- it's really an authoritarian movement, and authoritarian movements are about power and at the root of it it's believed that you need these strong men or strong women in some cases because they know best. it's a very anti-democratic, very anti-american in the sense that we've known america movement, and what the ugly truth about donald trump, and i just go back to this again and again, he didn't change the republican party. he revealed the republican party. >> yeah, right. >> hand that's something very painful for a lot of to admit that worked in the party but i don't know any other intellectually honest conclusion. >> yeah. i could have gone through more, ron johnson, the lady who said she would be front page at a hang, a lynch

that trump has endorsed candidates who have been accused of misconduct, he did it in alabama, with roy moore, he did it in pennsylvania, prior to that -- his candidate -- chosen candidate dropping out of the race, and in this case, in nebraska, he couldn't make the difference in a situation in which those allegations were credible and including one brought by a republican official in the state, who i think voters -- they look at that and they say who do i believe here. >> i wonder when you're looking towards pennsylvania what you're seeing. because what we see now say race that is pretty tied up, right, as you look at the republicans there in this race for pat toomey's seat. what do you think this portends for that? >> well, pennsylvania, is going to be very, very interesting. there are a lot of dynamics happening here, but dr. oz, who trump has endorsed, has not been able to pull away from the rest of the field. and it is actually a quite large primary field for pennsylvania republicans, and you're starting to see people weren't talking about kathy barnette a couple of days ago. they're tal

republican candidate the way some candidates have been in senate races in the recent past, most recently roy moorema. vance does not have those sort of horrible problems. think vance would really ve to mess this up or for the environment to change for him to lose this race. john: this was the first primary trump test this midterm season. we've got some primaries coming up where trump has made endorsements in competitive races, particularly in pennsylvania on the 17th he's endorsed dr. oz in the senate race. georgia on may 24 he has endorsed a slate of statewide candidates. are these states, or compare these states to ohio and the candidates and races to j.d. vance and his race. is trump going to be able to replicate what happened yesterday in these states? kyle: it remains unclear, but trump did stick his neck out on vance and ended up being rewarded for it. we will see what happens with dr. oz in pennsylvania because that race seemed pretty close when trump made his endorsement. it looks like brian kemp, the incumbent republican governor of georgia, who had a falling out with tru -- with trump, k

nothing to do with this but supporters of his targeted ads at moderate republicans telling them that roy moore has republican opponent that he might want to support banning of alcohol in the state. these are what people posing as baptist tea toddlers i think that both the african american voters in 2016 and the moderate republicans in 2017, both of whom were targeted to have their votes suppressed would have benefited from knowing who was actually speaking to them. so disclosures important not only because it can prevent corruption and help enforce other laws like foreign laws against foreign interference and elections. there are important because they provide valuable information to voters and until recently the supreme court has been very willing to uphold disclosure loss even the very conserved justice antonin. scalia was a big believer in disclosure laws and said that people should stand up for themselves. but now as you mentioned we have two problems number one, this has become yet another partisan issue and republicans no longer support campaign finance disclosure the way they used to at

good partisan territory and a good political environment, or else we'd be calling sharon engle, roy mooreake the candidate the issue rather than the political environment. >> noah, can you give us an autopsy on how regan lost? how crazy was he? what'd he say? what'd he do. >> the general stuff that's attractive to the online right. if you're in that environment, you can think it has broader purchase. the sort of -- obviously, 2020, relitigaing 2020. somehow, using some mechanism to avenge that loss and, you know, wave the bloody tunic of trump's presidency. vaccine skepticism is another. made some flippant comments about rape, which will be a big issue if we overturn roe. there's a lot of republicans who can put their foot in their mouth by saying things on abortion that reflects sentiments that are popular in the online right but are broadly -- that american electorate is broadly hostile to. of course, if you'reparanoid, he called feminism a plot conceived by jews. >> it is a jewish program to degrade and subgugate white men. >> it is incredibly fooler to give voice to it, to pretend the
