that's amy walter of the cook political report with amy walter. and tamara keith of npr. hello to both of you. good to have the back -- have the two of you together again. i want to start with what the rnc had done at its last meeting. what are the political consequences of making this statement, issuing the censure? what effect could this have on republican candidates running for office? >> at the very least that statement was political communications malpractice. they used a phrase that can be used against them. whether that phrase will continue to be salient in november, it is not clear at this point. it is part of this broader thing that is happening. they censured the only two republican members of the january 6 commission -- or committee at the same time they also did this resolution. it is in line with this idea that if you are against trump, you are not a real republican. former president trump, anyone who criticizes him, he calls them a rino, republican in name only, which speaks to the idea that to be a republican, you have to be loyal to president trump. judy:

here to discuss that and more, am joined by a walter and tamra keith -- and tamara keith.security advisor jake sullivan warned russia could be preparing for a conflict even more brutal than some estimates. by the start of this crisis, the biden administration has been transparent in declassify intelligence and sharing it with the american people. trying to telegraph putin's next steps. what is behind that strategy? >> it is not just the biden administration. allies in europe have been releasing intelligence about what they say putin is up to. part of this was to make it more difficult on vladimir putin so that he could not get away with for instance a false flag operation. the kept coming out with intelligence saying we thank putin is planning this. we think they might do it this way as a way of signaling now, you should not do this. i willay senator ted cruz is out with a statement criticizing that strategy saying it did not work. and clearly this is escalating in ukraine right now. >> a question about the domestic -- potential domestic political consequences. i talked to

that's amy walter of "the cook political report with amy walter." and "tara keith" of npr.both of you, very good to have the two of you back together again. tam, i'm going to start with you and what the rnc had done at this, its last meeting. what are the political consequences of making this statement, issuing this sense sure. what kind of effect could this have on republican candidates running for office this year? >> well, at the very least that statement was political malpractice or communications malpractice. they used a phrase that can be used against them. now whether that phrase will continue to be sal yent in november is not clear at this point. but it is, part of this broader thing that is happening where they censured two republic members, the only two republican members of the january 6th commission or committee, at the same time that they also did this resolution. and if is in line with this idea that if you are against trump, then you're not a real republican. and former president trump, anyone who criticizes him, he calls them a rhino, republican in name only

walter. >> mr. walter. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, congresswoman. i mean, first and foremost americans are not going to put up with surprise fluctuations in the cost of energy at a a retl location like ourselves unless there's clear price discovery that exists. you know, essentially price gouging or peak demand charges could negatively affect the consumer in many ways and also potentially attract the authorities for passing on elevated cost. so we are really not in a position to be able to pass on direct costs to consumers in today's environment. and i would like harkening back to events what we have hurricanes whereby were not able to raise the price of retail fuel even though the physical product might be increasing at price in the physical markets. you know, there's many laws on state of emergency center put forth that prohibit us from doing so. and then one last thing, in terms of, you know, some of these environmental concerns around, you know, national disaster to our interests but of the first to come back online. we have backup generators in

report with amy walter and osma khalid of npr appeared tamra keith is away.th of you. the big story of last week, justice stephen breyer announcing he is going to step down. giving president biden an opportunity to name his -- someone he wants on the court. amy, the president has said this is going to be someone extremely -- someone supremely qualified and it is going to be a black woman. are the opportunities for him and what does he need to be worried about? >> that is right. he has opportunity both to make a permanent influence on the court. this is somebody who most likely will be under the age of 60. able to sit on the court for a long time. it allows him as you pointed out to make good on his promise he made on the campaign trail to appoint a black woman to this position. the other thing i am looking for is how republicans are going to react. it was interesting to watch senator dickey urbawho is the chair -- senator dick durbin with the chair of the dishes she eric committee come out and talk to reporters and say i have talked to a lot of folks. there a

many women in organized women's organizations went to walter mondale and said, this is key to winning the election and beating ronald reagan, putting a woman on the ticket, and that would get you -- it would mobilize and energize the women's vote and that would be enough to put walter mondale over the top. resulted in the selection of geraldine ferraro as his running mate. it didn't work out as we anticipated because people vote for the top of the ticket, not the vice president. it did energize women and women were very mobilize around that election. it didn't make a difference in the outcome. host: how long did it take the republican party to react to the gains the democratic party was seeing with the gender gap? guest: they really started focusing on the gender gap almost immediately in trying to figure out ways in which they could chip away at that advantage. you certainly saw, most clearly, when george w. bush ran. there was a whole campaign about the w stands for women and working to mobilize women voters. the challenge is, the reason that they are supporting democratic candidate
