madison, he book, the politics of resentment, rural consciousness in wisconsin ask the rise of scott walker, his a superb example of quantitative and qualitative research to understand voters. charlie sykes, you recognize him from his time particularly now on nbc and msnbc. started in his name first came to all of our attention as the conservative radio talk soho in milwaukee, wisconsin. charlie has written a book entitle how the right lost its mind. and craig shirley, a renowned reagan biographer, is actually presenting two books today, his most recent look, on reagan,

well, wisconsin's republican governor scott walker got brutally ratioed last night. if you support our bold efforts to the reform government and help families i need your help right now. look at the numbers, 167 people liked that message, 90 people retweeted but over a thousand 300 people replied savagely ratioing it. that pitiful ratio is the least of his worries. what happened in wisconsin to prompt the tweet last night is thing 2 in 60 seconds. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, ... with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur.

to governor kasich. >> guest: yes, right. >> host: why did scott walker not catch fire? >> guest: it's a good question. he -- very intelligent man, very capable man, very successful governor. i think, quite honestly, part was his he had all these consultants around him, and sometimes consultants, you know, an old boss of mine once told me never forget the first three letters of the word conning sultan -- consultant. [laughter] you know, can con, right? they were getting in the way of him making an effective message. so i think plus there was a little hesitancy on the part of the campaign. and plus once trump stepped into the room, he just sucked up all the oxygen. and so people like ted cruz and jeb l bush, who in other times u would have said are viable candidates, they could be a likely nominee, were just pushed by thed wayside by this colossus who stepped into the republican party and seized the nomination. >> host: did you see that early on? >> guest: no. >> host: the way that donald trump was dominating? >> guest: i didn't, but my wife serene did, you know? because

to get x-uppercase-letter. >> guest: yes. >> host: why did scott walker not catch fire?> guest: that's a good question. ~ man and capable and successful governor. i think, quite honestly, his heart was he had all these consultants around him and sometimes consultants an old boss of mine once told me and says never forget the first three letters of the word consultant. [laughter] con. right? they were getting in the way of him making an effective message. i think also there was hesitancy on the campaign and plus one trump stepped into the room he sucked up all the oxygen. people like ted cruz and jeb wbush who in other times what u would have said bible candidates could be a likely nominee but were pushed by the wayside by this colossus stepped into the public party and sees the nomination. >> host: did you see that early on. >> guest: no, no, i didn't but my wife did. they say he's going to peek at 7% and i was the one of those who said yeah, be get 7% for the get 9% in i would say this and she would say i don't think so and't i think there is something going on out ther

so for scott walker this was supposed to be an easy one. instead last night was devastating.2 points, as you pointed out, it was that she won in a campaign that he clearly established herself as a more progressive thinker than her opponent and she took on the nra. she objected to her opponent's strong embrace of the nra. and she won -- we'll see how the final counting goes but she won roughly half the counties in the state. that mean she won rural counties. she won about two dozen counties that voted for trump. >> what do you make of the speaker of the house being silent about a big election outcome in wisconsin. >> if you don't have anything useful to say to your troops, why say anything at all? look, it is always a risky moment for the party of the incumbent president in the off-year election. it's traditional to lose seats. when the president has the approval ratings of this president, i know he tells us they're historically high and better than cheating obama or whatever he called him the other day, but come on, not true. it is not going to be based on history and based o

>> guest: my farm worker scott walker and then later for john kasich. >> host: shirley bannister. >>uest: and that is yes. it's a conservative marketing firm where we work with think tanks in publishing houses in candidates and individuals and things like that. it helps advance whatever mission or cause for philosophy they want. >> host: went from scott walker to governor casey. why did he not catch fire? >> guest: that's a good question. he's very intelligent man, very capable and successful governor. i think quite honestly in part he had all these consultants around him and sometimes that consultant, you know, an old boss of mine once told me never forget the first three letters of the word consultant. [laughter] con. they were getting in the way of him making effective message. i think most of it was hesitancy on the part of the campaign and plus, once dropped stepped into the room he just looked up all the oxygen. people like ted cruz and jeb bush who in other times they were viable candidates but they could be elected nominees they were pushed by the wayside by this colossus who

you've got scott walker saying there's going to be a blue wave.'ve got paul ryan running for the hills. is this thing about to fall apart? are people dissatisfied with donald trump? >> i just think with our country we're just so fickle if we're not happy with one, we're going to flip-flop. i didn't see what i saw with obama. >> that's what you did. you voted for obama for change and voted for trump for change. how do you feel now that you voted for trump? >> he's our president, so at a certain point it's like, oh, god, he's our president so how do we move forward with what we have? >> okay. >> they're calling him names, calling him a racist, calling him this, that. it seems not a day goes by some aren't accusing him of something or saying something derogatory. >> i know people don't want to call him a racist, but everything he says and everything he does is racist. i don't know but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. and the reality is he says some flat out racist things and he has not apologized and he has not change. >> and

but scott walker had a solution at least a temporary one.uld just stop holding elections until november. including two republican seats vacated in december. walker planned to keep those seats open for almost a year. he was sued because well, state law explicitly calls for prompt special elections to fills vacancies and during the lawsuit he tried to change state law. ultimately a circuit judge ordered walker to call special elections which will now take place june 12th. if you needed more evidence about the political climate walk ser so scared of, look at what happened in wisconsin last night. liberal judge rebecca dallett won a ten-year term on the supreme court, not an incumbent won a spot in the high court and won by a 12-point margin. walker up for re-election statewide this year once again took a turn to twitter. tonight's results show us we're at risk of a #blue wave in wisconsin. >> tonight we proved when the people rise up and stand together, we can beat the special interests. and israeli prime minister ar f, a distinct determination

scott walker said in his worry.e show you what mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate, said, about midterm election. we know the wind is going to be in our face. we don't know whether it will be a category 3, 4 or 5. and when hurricane katrina hit land, it was a category 3. what do you think? >> i don't blame these republican leaders for sounding the alarm. it's a good thing to make sure we don't get complacent. you win the presidency, lot of times it's hard to put that coalition back together in these races. look at wisconsin where you have turnout about 20%. so it's not like you're replicating the dynamics of 2016 in wisconsin. remember, we didn't win that at the presidential level before donald trump since 1984. it's very difficult state wide. finally, the republican party never did so much winning than when barack obama was president. we have to expect if the democrats field better candidates, and they did in wisconsin and pennsylvania. if they raise more money, which they haven't in a couple of th

so joining me now, scott walker, a republican running for his third re-election. with you. >> thanks for having me on. >> martha: i look back. we showed video of you in the center spot when there was a huge stage full of republicans running for president and president trump his numbers were lower than yours. he was off to the side. and then you were the first person to drop out. you sized up what was going on and cut your losses. what did you see back then that made you make that decision? >> i just saw where things were headed in many ways with the national media and said i love my job as governor and wanted to focus on that. what i see in many ways is what i see right now. a national push but not everyone, many in the media saying there's going to be a blue wave across america. as i mentioned in that tweet, i think the left is overwhelmingly driven by anger and hatred. we see it in the rhetoric and me and the president and the republicans. the only way to counter that is not with more of the same but with optimism and organization. we were out this weekend organ

the wisconsin governor scott walker the latest republican to sound an alarm.crat-backed candidate in his state won a state supreme court election. that's notable because it's the first time in two decades a nonincumbent liberal has won a seat on wisconsin's high court. that prompted this tweet from governor walker. quote, want to's results show we are at risk of a blue wave. walker himself, worth noting, up for re-election this november. and we're learning more about cynthia nixon's platform as she ramps up her campaign for governor in new york. she's for legalizing marijuana and taxing it to boost state revenue. a short time ago, nixon talked about that during her first tv interview for the campaign, talking with wendy williams. >> a 7-year-old, a 15-year-old, and a 21-year-old. >> a 21-year-old is going to be like, mom, even though i don't smoke pot, i can't be around other kids who smoke pot? i'm not catching a contact. >> if we legalize it in new york, you know. [ cheers and applause ] >> i want to ask, governor -- i was just asking. so you're for the lega

. >>> wisconsin's republican governor, scott walker, sounding the alamp after a democratic -- alarm after democratic-backed candidate won a seat on wisconsin's supreme court. the results leading walker to tweet that the gop is "at risk of a blue wave in november." liberal rebecca dallet trumped michael skrenok for the ten-year term on wisconsin's high court. the candidates did not run with party affiliations, but the state democratic party helped the campaign. it's the first time a liberal candidate who was not an incumbent has won a seat on the seven-member court in more than two decades. >>> a report from the centers for disease control says so-called nightmare bacteria that are resistant to most antibiotics are popping up across the united states. a program for testing suspect bacteria found more than 220 cases in 27 states contained an especially rare resistant gene. health officials say the cdc is working on an aggressive containment strategy. some two million americans get sick from antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year. and 23,000 die. pretty scary. >> indeed. >>> straight ahead,

in madison and milwaukee he did well >> what's scott walker talking about? >> madison and milwaukee the turnout was elevated there so we have to make sure we turn out our voters >> you say -- i mean, i listen to you about the tax bill. and then we're going to have chris van hollen on. >> my guess is he's going to say -- >> he's going to say things that -- we just had steny on he didn't say any of this. can you hang out stand right here stand right here. >> i'll yell from the sidelines. >> just sit there and go -- just listen and do hand signals. will you do that you got to go do something >> yeah. i've got to run conference now. >> is that a big deal? >> yeah. it's running congress. >> okay. mccarthy, i heard it'd be easier for him to win as minority leader because you don't need as many votes >> we are more gelled than we were ever before one of the reasons why i'm here is because we had a fractured caucus we have mended those we are now working together to pass legislation i don't think the schisms exist like they did before i'm confident we have a good le

this is a really -- this has got to make scott walker worried. he's up for re-election in the fall. a lot of the state senate, assembly seats. you could use legislature and governorship this year. >> paul: so james, mr. sunshine here, the taxes, the republicans looking at taxes, they want to make that the issue. is that going to work for them? >> it's a good issue for them. i think american prosperity generally is the right issue. if you look what happened from december when they passed the tax cut, the generic ballot, who do you like, republicans or democrats for congress this fall, trump's approval rating, trump's approval rating on the economy, they all improved rapidly. lately, not so good, tailing off a little and it's because the first year of trump dominated by tax cuts and deregulation now we're talking about the trade fights we were just describing earlier and then a huge government spending blowout. so i think what they have to do is focus on economic prosperity and that's round two of tax cuts and it also -- it wouldn't hurt to take kim strassels advice and take back some

scott walker tweeting about the blue wave is like commercial for the blue wave.. you always have these politicians saying you need more optimism. just saying optimism makes you optimistic. you're saying the left is driven by sxhat fear in their hearts. just demonizing the enemy won't do it. >> it will get more people on the 11 oleft out to vote. >> one of the things you're seeing, yeah, the republicans are worried. there is an arizona race to replace trent franks. that's a seat for republicans through and through. they're worried about it. they know they can't lose another special election. >> i want to change this quickly. scott pruitt is under fire for having -- for a number of things, but one is for having rented an apartment from the wife of an energy lobbyist who would lobby his agency for $50 a night. the white house was asked about this. and sarah sanders said they are not. >> this went from him, the president calling scott pruitt saying keep your head up to we're reviewing the situation and yesterday, he said i think he's going to be okay or something lik

if scott walker wins in wisconsin we will not be swamped and in maryland it is even a better indicator we have races across the country with great candidates we just need to tell the story of the good news of our accomplishments over the first year and a half of the republican house and senate and the white house. an incredible list of accomplishments all good for all americans not just conservatives or republicans but all americans. so i urge all of you to be involved in this every minute of every day it is hard not to be negative and i find myself in the same position fox every day is much as they will have me but it is important to talk about the incredible accomplishments of this president over the last 15 and then going into the midterms. if we do that you will bring about real change because we will keep the house and add to the senate. with that i say thank you very much for having me. so i try to always do the next thing. and would try to tell my kids as well. and i would be happy to take a couple of questions no questions? thank you very much. [laughter] try to get out of here

scott walker joins us right now from madison.lue wave. you're not saying yes, a done deal republicans are dead. you're saying hey if we're not careful it will be a problem? >> right. this is a true wake-up call. there is different between a wake-up call than a panic call. panic is got no record, no agenda to run on. in this case we do. the warning, if we don't do this, don't wake up to what we saw last tuesday in wisconsin and across the nation, there could be a blue wave out there. if you listen to our state, particularly democrats running for the governor in the state, their rhetoric is not increasingly liberal but fuld with anger and rhetoric towards me and republicans in general. i've been saying the best way to counter that through optimism rand organization. we've been recruiting people this week yet again to go to scott walker.com to join our cause out there. we have great story to tell. we can't assume our friends and neighbors know about it. steve: what is the democrats message, some of them if elected to the house make

. >> that is a big range with that sentiment that is similar to scott walker to say again it is a t wake-upt the indiana senate races s fascinating to show how important it is between the general election portion president trump approval rating is very high in indiana it is in the 80s but the approval rating with general voting population is less. clearly that is something to keep an eye on but not just in indiana g. shannon: it is great to have all of you with us tonight. remember reading doctor martin luther king on the 30th anniversary of mom -- 50th anniversary of his assassination. in your noise cancelling trheadphones?ry maybe not. maybe you could trust you won't be next to a loud eater.

if you look at what happened over the weekend in scott walker's state. these are trending blue. historically the mid-terms go against the president. he's an all naight and divisive president. kennedy: i think people love their money more than they hate the president. >> the idea nancy pelosi is still running with this after all the backlash with her crumbs comment, today she is saying if we take back the majority we'll make sure people's pay checks are less than they are now. they are talking to their accountants and the accountants are telling them how much they are going to save this year, and it's thousands of dollars for people. today at the town hall a woman broke down in tears talking about how impactful the tax reform bill has been for her family. if nancy pelosi wants to continue to tow the line saying republicans are elitists. go for it, nancy. but i think people are seeing the tanningibility results and they are paying attention. -- tangible results. and they are paying attention. >> is the economy in good shape or not. kennedy: people know when their bottom line is bo

wisconsin governor scott walker tweeting this. results show we are at risk of a #blue wave in wisconsin. the far left is driven by anger and hatred. we must counter it with optimism and organization. let's share our positive story with voters and win in november. we have a republican national committee spokesperson and joins us to talk about this. thank you for joining us. are you concerned about a blue wave in wisconsin as a result of this race last night? >> we're always concerned. ronna mcdaniel and president trump have both said history is not on our side here. as the chairwoman said we want to defy history. looking at wisconsin in particular, it is not predictive of what we'll see in the fall for a few reasons. kristin snyder had a sophisticated analysis and said the last three april elections we've seen turnout of 792,000. the presidential elections it was 3 million. governor elections two million. we'll see three times the turnout and i want to point out in 2008 a conservative judge won in an april race but president obama

we heard a similar sentiment from governor scott walker after their wisconsin supreme court electionere is an impending blue wave and we have to do something. the indiana senate races fascinating because it shows how stark the contrast will be between the primary stage and the general election phase. president trump's approval rating among indiana republicans is very high, in the mid-80s. his approval rating with the general voting population is a little bit lower. that's going to create an interesting conflict. it is certainly something to keep an ion. this race is not just happening in indiana. it's happening in wisconsin. >> shannon: emily, larry, and capri, great to have you with u us. up next, remembering the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. on the 30th anniversary of his assassination. ♪ bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪ ♪ brown paper packages tied up with strings ♪ ♪ these are a few of my favorite things ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ these are a few of my favorite things ♪ we're finally back out in our yard, but so are they. the triple threat of dandelions, lurking crabgrass and we
