sarah palin was in the special election race and the general election 2022. interesting experience or test case for how rank-choice voting works, which is to say not a lot of people even republicans like sarah palin all that much, so a lot of people split from her or voted for the third-party candidate for the third republican who looked at rank-choice voting and said i would rather my the good to megan or not anybody get all of us are there was a big dynamic about how the parties were figuring outvoting works, and how to navigate that system. there is a lot of republican infighting in 2022. there seem to be a little more stayed with the quality of their candidates. >> there are two republicans running this year, correct? >> so far, right. we have nick beggich, the grandson of a former u.s. representative, a nephew to senator mark beggich, so he is in it again. he's kind of this, he sort of i think you'd a little bit as he was running against don young in 2022 and then floundered a little bit when it became more open race, and now we have also the lieutenant

who's to know what that would have meant without sarah palin raised -- to me sarah palin was donald trumpalin was in the course of this. sad day because you could disagree with him on things and criticize him in a partisan way. he was a public servant. >> marc elias, i know you two worked with him. he was one of the kindest people. and he and his wife had a love affair. he just oozed warmth towards anyone ever in his presence. he had wisdom. he had deep, deep reverence for this country and for those who serve again even as matt dwd is saying, even those he disagreed with even in the course of his career i think as he would say some of that shifted. >> yeah, look, i knew senator leiberman because i was a young lawyer, and he was my client. and i worked very closely with his campaigns and at times with him. and he was -- he was -- people don't remember but he was a -- not just a giant in the senate, it had been a giant in the legal profession before that. he'd been in connecticut. and he was kind with his time. he cared enormously, enormously about how others were treated, his staff, people

but republican advisors, of course, picked sarah palin at the time. they thought it simply was too much to have joe lieberman who is pro-choice and a democrat. so he couldn't be on that ticket. so wolff, the long life of joe lieberman, a lion in the senate. he will be missed and remembered well, our standby, jeff, i want to take a closer look right now at joe lieberman is life and times. watch this >> when joseph lieber been came to washington in 1989, he was part of an increasingly rare group a conservative democrat from the northeast. >> they american dream is alive and well in the connecticut race against an 18 year incumbent, liebermann, beaten liberal republican lowell weaker by less than a point to become the first orthodox jewish us senator in history. >> senator lieberman, hhs office. how may i help you >> liebermann held traditional democratic views on the environment and abortion rights but the former state attorney general was also a strong supporter of law enforcement at a hawk on foreign policy during bill clinton's impeachment battle, li

asked for my support john mccain, did. >> mccain later wrote in a book that instead of choosing sarah palinsidential running mate in 2008, he should have followed his instincts and chosen liebermann, his political advisors warned him against it. >> it was going to cause a problem in the convention because joe lieberman, who's pro-choice liebermann retired from the senate in 2013. but continued to speak up politically supporting president donald trump's controversial choice. betsy devos, for education secretary. when trump fired up the i director james comey, he even publicly considered liebermann as a replacement labor been would later withdraw his name from considerations in a career full of unpredictable alliances and political surprises joseph lieberman described one constant that defined his life. whether on the case campaign trail, or washington? >> i have never shied from a good fight and i never will at our, deepest, deepest condolences to his family, i may he rest in peace and as we say, may his memory, b. a. blessing right now on a bring back cnn's jeff zeleny along with cnn senior

sarah palin, she everybody wants sarah's endorsement.a great woman and a great i'll tell you what, that is a great person endorsed donald trump. so we're going to have the borders and we're going to have our trade. when we started, i talked about borders. i talked about trade. i'm really good at the trade. i'm really good at the borders. when paris happened, everybody started saying, we want trump. the polls came in 60%, 70%, 72%. this is 72% with 17 people running. now we're down to six. we got rid of all these people. it's so great. it's so great. but but we had 60%. 70%. so in terms of the military, in terms of the border, in terms of all of these things, the economy, i expect, but everything was trump. trump, trump, except for personality. i didn't do as well on pressure. it's true. it's true. and you know what, trump. personality was a little lower than the economy. but if you had your choice of having somebody with a wonderful personality but was bad on jobs, bad on the economy, better security, bad on the border, bad on the wall.

mccain said he was sorry he did not choose lieberman as his vice presidential running mate over sarah palin. the phoenix city council has approved a new ordinance to protect many workers from extreme heat. phoenix is the hottest city in the country. contractors working with the city will be required to provide cooling breaks, cold water, and air conditioning. meanwhile, in florida, the republican-led state legislature recently passed a bill barring municipalities in florida from adopting any local measures to protect workers from extreme heat. in argentina, a court has convicted 11 former officials of crimes against humanity for committing atrocities against over 600 people during the military dictatorship that ruled argentina from 1976 to 1983. the victim secluded transgender women, high school students, prisoners who gave birth in captivity and his babies were taken from them. the court ruled the former military, police, and government officials were involved in forced disappearances, torture, rape, and murder at secret torture centers on the outskirts of buenos aires. on sunday, thousand

sarah palin was great at airing grievances.actory since then about how people think that the anger is going to solve anything. when you have people angry, coupled with guns, coupled with saying vindictive things like we hope these people are wiped off the face of the earth or we're going to go down and march to the border with our guns and defend the border. then you need to start thinking about anger has taken a very big place in terms of the talking point for some of our politicians and some of the people who follow them. >> anthea, thank you so much for being here tonight. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >>> that point on anger, it's interesting because i feel like, i mean i think professor butler is wise on these matters. but i think that issue of anger, the president was playing with that a little bit tonight, right? let me play one of the little clips, number 18, we got this ready, where the president is using emotion in a way he's trying to say is a constructive thing, not a destructive thing. he's working the room

we had 15 years ago and you have sarah palin with pictures of democrats during the midterms with gunaround their heads. none of these things are new. i have to point this out. when i was looking at the newsweek article pointing this out the talked about republican leader mike brown complaining they had a picture of mike brown the basketball coach. this is mike brown. the guy is the head of the republican party is another mike brown. i'm glad local republicans are complaining about what happened in kansas. that does not speak for the party as a whole. there are too many republicans in congress and the national party who embrace this violence. >>> there is no condemnation of the political violence as high up as it should go. we won't count on trump to condemn what his supporters are doing especially when they're kicking effigies of joe biden. we don't have anybody from the rnc now. the republican nepotism committee. don't have anybody at the rnc to say no. we don't have any body in the senate saying no. we don't have anybody in the house. there is no self policing going on by anyone. n

and that was before sarah palin. >> well, i keep thinking of the two of them now, you know, together, reunited as these just deep, deep, deep patriots, people who love this country. >> exactly. >> and who didn't hate people who disagree with them. just really quick in the last 20 seconds, what did it mean to people around the world to have joe leiberman there? >> to have joe leiberman, a man who crossed party lines, who had faith, who believed in principles and didn't bend and was so personable, and of course the love affair with adassa, the first person i want to talk to when i get back to washington. >> truly a love affair that spills over and brings light and shines warmth on everyone in their presence. thank you for being here. our thanks to matt dowd and marc elias who rolled with me on this breaking news. thank you to all of you. "the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> thank you, nicolle. appreciate you sharing that story marking that life. we are here another edition of "the beat" with ari melber, and our top story here begins with this political thunderclap out of deep

nominee, there was a genuine scandal over the fact that the rnc was paying for clothing for -- for sarah palinay? and we were talking about like -- tens of thousands of dollars. okay. that was like a bona fide like -- oh my god, can you believe the rnc is doing this? now we fast forward and people are like oh, dues, a couple hundred million dollars you know, can the rnc kick in money here? you know, what's interesting on the politics of this is you have chris lessevida who is an old political hand and operative and now with the trump campaign will be coming into the rnc. he is saying we're not going to use rnc money while at the same time trump's daughter-in-law is like well, you know,. >> can we just put a plug in stupid here? people need to understand how this works. when donald trump calls chris or his daughter-in-law, or watley and says i got a bill. take care of it. the rnc is going to take care of it. they did in the past. and they will in the future. so all you donors out there, when you write your check, know where your money is going. your money is going to pay his legal bills and you

. >> mccain wanted lieberman to be his running mate but was pressured to choose sarah palin.om nides who was his 2000 vice presidential campaign manager. he was the ambassador to israel from 2021 through july 2023. ambassador, first of all, an old friend, i want to convey my condolences. i was with nicolle wallace at 30 rock when this happened. it was such an emotional moment for her, for having been the press spokesman on that mccain campaign. joe lieberman was beloved in washington. i saw him a couple weeks ago. i was traveling to the munich security forum, he was on the plane. he was active there. at age 82. this is so sad and so sudden. talk to me about him, the joe lieberman you knew and loved. >> first of all, thank you for having me. there's a word that i think about when you hear mench. it's joe lieberman. i didn't always agree with him, he was a menchy human being. i was picked by al gore to ask to be his campaign manager in 2000. the can't selects someone to be the vice president. i never met him in my life. i show up in connecticut. i knock on his door. hadasa lieb

in fact, john mccain wanted to choose early roman was talked out of it and talk to into choosing sarah palin. and if you just think about that that moment in the history of politics and history of the republican party sort of set the problem. can party on a specific trajectory that sort of ends where we are now with trump. and that was sort of the last moment where you could really envision a bipartisan ticket might have had a chance of winning and joe lieberman was uniquely qualified for that because he was so respected and both parties and had the gravitas and the where with all to handle that situation, but not only was he in that sense, rejected by the republican party, who was later rejected by his own party, which is why he went to independent and left the senate and started to labels. and all of this other stuff that we know about his later career. but in short, he will be remembered where it is. one of the few senators who made a huge difference with decades of service. and also for being a good human being >> it is sort of a punctuation mark on a period of time in our political hist

appearing with two former presidents because no living republican presidential candidates other than sarah palin are backing donald trump. i think that there's some optics are trying to lean into their however, donald trump, the master spinner is going to say, you, elites in new york with celebrities are raising these high-dollar donor money. will i? i'm in new york two honore a fallen new york police department officer, who was killed by somebody who'd been arrested on 2021 times previously, shoe the average american, the trump curious voter. this is what they want to see from him and it's also a distraction from his pending case in fulton county today i have to say donald trump is getting smarter. this is his third time running now, he knows what he's doing in a way that there's a sophistication that wasn't there. and i do think this works, but the money thing is very real. donald trump is raising money at the slowest clip he ever has the rnc is doing a bombed italy. they've got 11 million cash on hand compared to 77 in this time in 2020. so there's still major disadvantages that trump has. >>

whereas right now, no living candidate who's been on a gop ticket other than sarah palin is backing donald trump and i think that that's something that the biden campaign is going to want to dry out to say he's actually just not somebody that even previous candidates approve of. >> but here's the thing. joe biden has a major cash advantage at this point. he's outraising trump two-to-one. this is a huge win for him tonight, but we remember 2016, hillary clinton massively outraised donald trump, instill he was able to edge her out. and this was smart politics today. i don't like the idea of going to a slain off because there's memorial and making a political, but to a lot of people in the middle of this country, they say that's the guy who's focusing on my priorities. he's putting police officers before hollywood celebrities and it shows the trump campaign's a bit more sophisticated than it previously was. >> event i'm doing, this is a warning sign that the biden campaign is concerned. i mean, the fact that new normally i am not sure when president obama got involved with the campaign the la

. >> brian: on the program and tracking the jet that sarah palin was on going to that event. >> ben:emember. >> steve: let me ask you this, a safe pick would probably be a woman simply because the democrats are going to use abortion as one of their gigantic issues. so that would be a safe bet. but is that necessary? >> ben: i'm not sure it is necessary. you have to have someone on the ticket who request talk about it. i haven't heard, you know, the way that tim scott talks about it that much. i would like to hear more. >> steve: marco rubio mass given some great speeches. >> ben: people addressed the issue and addressed it well and they don't necessarily have to be a woman but it helps. one more point for tulsi. biggest moment she had on stage in a democratic primary was when she absolutely gutted kamala harris. eviscerated her on stage. i don't know but, but if we're going to have a debate this cycle, if it's going to be any debate, it might be the vice presidential. and i would love to see a rematch. >> brian: let's bring in bret baier, joining on the phone with this breaking news.

said we worked for him and we are not voting for him again, and the only one supporting trump is sarah palin ryan. i don't think there's any parallel in american history. while on one level, donald trump has complete control of the republican party, there are the cracks and the biden campaign is beginning to exploit this. >>> coming up, we will get to the supreme court case that could restrict access to the abortion pill nationwide. we will have legal analysis on yesterday's hearing and discuss the larger impact in the fight over abortion rights. "morning joe" will be right back. e right back smile! you found it. the feeling of finding psoriasis can't filter out the real you. so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only sotyktu, a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding you're so ready for your close-up. or finding you don't have to hide your skin just your background. once-daily sotyktu was proven better, getting more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic

you know, they are really on to something when they can hue so closely, maybe that was sarah palin'sactually what happened, she tells the story of wrong year, wrong president, wrong country. >> one wonders why she would do that, is she not smart enough? are the people who wrote the text just not paying attention? actually, i just want to call attention to the substance, she said it because it works. the fear that she's engendered with works. not with us, but a core group of maga supporters. just to take something from donald trump's speech and immigration, and he calls immigrants an agony of our people. the plunder of our cities, sacking our own towns, violating our citizens. the conquest of our country. when you listen to language like, you know, i think about 1915 movie called "birth of a nation" which portrayed avenue can americans as hypersexual and violent. and to the rescue of american virtue was the kkk. now, it's very clear, there are differences between african americans and immigrants and migrants in this country. the throughline, however, is the way in which white supremac

a republican ticket, president or vice president, who has backed donald trump this time around, sarah palin memoli, there's no doubt that biden has momentum at the moment. state of the union well received. closing the gap in battlegrounds. he has a giant financial advantage. how does he keep it going? what's next for president bidn? we're a long way to november. >> i was walking out last night and saw julie chavez rodriguez, and said, how do you top this? she said, we have to keep the momentum going. there has been criticism, including president obama privately, saying this campaign needs to show urgency. we have to build up and face the challenge donald trump represents. the biden team always believes that timing is everything. it was after donald trump emerged as the nominee, the state of the union as a setpiece they knew they had an opportunity to seize on, the president delivered on, and what they've been calling the sprint since then to build the momentum going forward. what is interesting, we know they were taping podcasts last night, videos. there was a lot of stuff last night that h
