rnc chairwoman mcdaniel said this on fox news sunday precrisis influx of mail and voting is clearly showing systems are not ready for that and pennsylvania is a case at that right now. i think a lot of this lies at the foot -- make the feet of governor wolf brickwork so far david mccormick has been slightly favored by mail in voters, arthel. arthel: alexandria hoff reporting from pennsylvania thanks alex. eric: the babies are getting help much needed help to families across the country who have been desperate to feed their babies, look at the u.s. air force that military transfer plan usually is to support military operations but now it is part of the biden administration operation fly formula delivering imported baby food from europe and elsewhere this first shipment landed in indianapolis just a few hours ago. 78000 pounds, 39 tons of baby food on the way to american mothers and fathers across the country, lucas tomlinson is here with the story. >> approximately 11:00 a.m. sunday morning the first u.s. air force c-17 arrived in indianapolis carrying 78000 pounds of formula to fill half a

oz, you would not be surprised to hear, and with the support of rona mcdaniel from the rnc says, no, if they're lacking a date on the ballot, it shouldn't be cast. it shouldn't be counted. i should point this out. we are talking about ballots that came in by election day. so, this is not an issue of were they received on time. there's a state law requirement that says you've got to write down the date that you actually filled out your ballot. a federal court decision last friday from the third circuit in an unrelated case said even if you lack a date, it ought to be counted. so, mccormick is pointing to that decision and saying that ought to be the standard. >> so, essentially because of course the former president donald trump was really saying, look, declare that you're the victor, oz, before anything of this happens. sort of an eye towards thinking, if votes are coming in, they may chop away at the margin you have. is there any way you see this avoiding a recount at this point? and by the way, if this does go to a recount -- which we think it's going to go to a recount -- are ther

joining me to discuss is former rnc spokesperson, -- also with us, former republican congressman, david jolly, and i msnbc political analysts. kevin, let's start with you. this strategy makes sense for the lead, but how will republicans respond if roe it is overturned. should the supreme court do that in june? >> initially, republicans will have to talk smartly about this issue. they have not had a lot of practice in the last several decades because they have the talking point of saying if they are in a tough race, and then state their opposition to row. now in a post roe world, they will have to look at where their states are going to do in their legislators, we're all the action will be, for money will flow. those will be very competitive and expensive, suddenly. republican senate candidates, especially, will have to be very smart about how they talk about it. the talking points from the nra c are not that. whether or not our candidates can stick to it, which they have not been able to do, is a different story, we will see. >> you raise the point that it just takes one state lawmaker

rnc chairwoman said this on fox news sunday. >> this influx of mail in voting is clearly showing that systems are not ready for that and pennsylvania is a case of that right now and i think a lot of this lies at the feet of governor [inaudible]. >> so far mccormick has been slightly favored when it comes to mail in ballots. as for no excuse mail in voting, that was passed almost by the entire republican state legislature back in 2019. since then, republicans have been trying to undo it. jon? >> jon: alexandria reporting from pennsylvania. alex, thanks. >>> meantime, the democratic committee -- nominee i should say in that senate race john fetterman is out of the hospital after suffering a stroke just days ahead of the primary. the pennsylvania lieutenant governor said in a statement today that he's back in home and quote, feeling great, but he plans to continue to rest and recover as he waits to find out who he will be facing in november. >>> the white house is pivoting the inflation blame game from vladimir putin. now it says our economy is in a period of transition. we will take tha

"jesse watters primetime" is now. hey, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret. thank you. have a great weekend. >> you too. ♪ >> jesse: there's nothing like the good old days. that moment in our lives where everything was just right. you know what i'm talking about. maybe it was in high school when you were can't of the football team or it could have been while your kids were younger and you were just starting your family. life was good. for our economy though, the good old days were just a few years

. >> rook, i look at elise stefanik's twitter feed and i don't see her denouncing a former rnc staffer who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for child pornography last month. where's that, the former gop staffer, when are they announcing that? remember, hillary clinton called them deplorable. she was being nice. okay. this is much worse. >> yes. >> this is despicable, to call your police cap opponents pedophile and the cruelty towards brown people. that just makes you a republican now. >> yeah. >> to me there's no bottom. i don't know how much deeper it gets. they will incite violence and they don't care and that's the worst part of this. >> it's insidious. i do want to talk about a woman and we'll stay with you for a second, deep. i've been thinking it got enough attention. we talked a little bit on this show, and this was the shooting death of shireen abu akleh. palestinian-american much like you, my friend and a really boss journalist, one of the most popular journalists at al jazeera and known around the world. her funeral was epic, one of the largest funerals at least according

he goes to the rnc, he goes to the cia. all of those would be, for someone aiming to lead the free world, perhaps a distraction. and yet, inevitably, seems almost inevitably, faith that all of this in some way or another prepares him to go to the world stage and focus on foreign policy. but at any point along the way, you might have said well, he's done. that's the end of george bush. but >> it's because he's a gentleman first. those distractions, they would be distractions to someone else. not to george bush. he was well rounded and focused and he believed in our system. andrew s. natsios and i happen to be at the republican national convention in detroit when he was tapping -- to be his running, made as vice president. that came to a shock to the political establishment. even the people who are in detroit at the convention, because we it was gerald ford vice president, co-presidency, all the sort of stuff. i think it was faith that gave him the breadth of experiences that he had, and they came together at exactly the righ

former rnc chair michael steele who is an msnbc political analyst. thank you for being here. i do want to start with you, i went into a deep wormhole about the history of enslaved women and abortion over the weekend, and the reality is it was an act of resistance and an act of desperation for a lot of women who would take roots, things passed down to them, their knowledge from the continent, africa, their mothers and four others knew about herbs you could take to abort. they did it because slavery was worse than death. i know that the anti-education republicans would like to portray slavery as benign institution that wasn't so bad, people would rather die, would rather have their children die, and would abort on their own to stop creating more product, more available domestic supply of children. what do you make of this fixation, samuel alito has with that era, but in his mind, that 1970 area was the good old days? >> for samuel alito, i am sure that he would like to be able to sell babies again, if he possibly could. let's take it back for a minute and talk about the 19th ce

. >>> we are back with former rnc chair and former lt. gov. michael steel. welcome, sir. i will remind everyone what the stats are on the screen here that there is widespread support, including trump voters and many self-identified republicans on the basics about background checks, database and even actual gun control like on assault weapons ban, depending how you ask and answer the question. your thoughts on what we just walked through? >> no i thought you laid out the current state of play here very concisely. it is really about that crucible moment for the country that they seemingly are more engaged around what occurred in texas than perhaps they may have been at other times. not that they were less caring or less bothered by it. but there is something different about this. i think one of the things that's different and why it's so much harder for the ted cruz' of the world to stand in front of a bank of cameras and acknowledge what their position has done and has allowed to occur is for the first time we are hearing stories about these babies, these children, being u

greg bleustein, msnbc political contributor, and michael steele, former rnc chair. other states, including minnesota, arkansas and alabama have primaries, as well. but georgia is getting a lot of the attention. take us through the stakes and the most closely watched races. >> reporter: jose, what these next 48 hours will expos is the reality that there are cracks within this republican party here today. there is no longer a feelty to donald trump that we have seen over the last six years. namely among voters here. the state of georgia, david perdue, the trump backed former senator, who decided to challenge the incumbent republican governor here, brian kemp, is likely and expected to lose tomorrow in a head-to-head matchup here. the latest fox news poll shows at 60% to 28%. and going around the state talking to voters, you hear from them when it comes to brian kemp, issues, whether it's the heart beat bill he signed into law in 2019. whether it's the election integrity bill that he signed into law last year. or the way that he opened up business at the height of the

charles blow, columnist for "new york times" and michael steele, former rnc chairman. thank you all for being here. welcome all to the show. i want to ask you about the nra and the vibe inside of that convention and how they manage to celebrate guns at a time when not far away parents are preparing to bury little 10-year-old children. >> joy, i don't know how. that setup was really hard. i'm sorry. >> it was. >> i came from uvalde last night to be back in town to cover the convex and what i found was a complete and utter disconnect. across the street were protesters holding signs and children pleading for change, for something to change, and inside there were parents with their children showing them how to hold ar-15s and telling me why the policies that allowed this shooter to go and buy a couple of these guns days after his 18th birthday are so important that these -- that those policies are what keeps us safe, and it was -- it's really hard to put into words how horrible i felt back at the scenes, when i was talking to the families and talking to the teachers about

but newt, former rnc chair turned msnbc darling michael steele, he thinks republicanst should be the ones that are worried. now watch mitch mcconnell and aa number of leaders in washington are very worried about what was once a really well paved w yellow brick road to winning in november. now pockmarked by the supreme court narrative which will transform the playing field even further. ra newt: mixed metaphors aside, should republicans be concernedg ?ol well, first of all, i think, when you're on msnbc y you sound very different than you mightdi have in other conversations. no, i think republicans have on rising crime rates, as youne mentioned a minute ago on the inflation rates, on the economy in general, on an open borderal with frankly a totally out of touchit with reality. secretary ofality secret homela. every time you turn around this is an administration whether it's on education or , it's anegulations astonishingly bad administration and the effect is in people's lives. it this is a great problem foru the democrats and the news media. you can't say enough thingsca t overcome

republicans had a very specific fear here, trump's chief of staff, from out of the rnc, articulated it plainly on hannity last night. >> it's like christine o'donnell winning top and again, if anyone remembers that. in 2010. e in 2011. but yeah, that was a crazy year. >> he was using christine o'donnell, a uniquely about candidate, cost republicans a set senate seat. as a short time for the party's tendency to blow winnable races, particularly senate races, by nominating fringe candidates. kathy barnett which really have some trouble in the general. although i gotta, say it's worth asking, and oppose all trump world, are there casinos anymore? or is very affiliation and this larger political environment alone enough to carry candidates to victory no matter how thoroughly noxious their views are? they would fall off was a campaign manager and barack obama's 2018 presidential campaign, he joins me now. david, i thought of you for the segment today because you have been talking so much about the key role these primaries will play, and with the nominee is, and whether candidate quality mat

rand paul, you mightame remember, and hisrl wife were nearly trampled by far left protesters after the rnc convention. left wing rioters also showed up at senator mitch mcconnell's home, confronted him and his wife. they also harassed the pair at a local diner. i'm sure you remember that moment. they also terrorized senator josh hall, his wifeaw and their newborn baby at their front door. they confronted ted cruzz and his wife at a restaurant. they also harassed trump's dhsd secretary at a restaurant. t we played that tape before because they didn't like trump's border wall . in twenty eighteen they stormed the steps of the u.s. supreme courtt me. they pounded on the front door in order to disrupt kavanaugh's confirmation t. and more recently they followed senator krysten sinema into a bathroom and filmed her going into a stall becausein she wouldn't kill the filibuster. now they later then also tooky their kayaks out and they went over to joe mansions houseboat because he wouldn't support build back broke americart. b and while this farra left brand of political intimidation rarely works

stuart: paris dennard, rnc guy. thanks. we'll see you soon. gas prices so bad, so high, a lot of people are now cutting back on using cars for things like grocery shopping and doctors visits, believe it or not. we've got the story. >>> democrat senator chris murphy clashed with our own bret baier. watch this. >> this effort in florida to target gay kids in schools, i mean -- >> bill is not talking about sexual identity from k through third grade. that is not targeting gay kids. stuart: we have a lot more on this for you. we'll play the full sound. all eyes on moscow, putin puts the military on display. parading troops for the world to see. former u.s. ambassador to nato, kurt volcker, deals with it next (fisher investments) it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fi

i think that's common sense and definitely where the rnc and gop is. reporter: that's also where dr. oz's campaign is. right now he holds just a .1% lead over david mccormick who has been slightly favored by mail-in ballots so his team wants counties to be aware of the new federal court ruling. allegheny county tells me they are waiting on guidance from the secretary on what to do with the undated republican mail-in ballots but things are coming down to the wire. tomorrow unofficial election results are due if one candidate doesn't hear a half percentage lead, then one will be ordered on thursday. a recount will have to be complete by the 7th so we likely would not have results of this election from this recounts until june 8. stuart? stuart: that's a long way away, alexandria, thank you very much indeed. let's get to arkansas. senator john boozman is up for re-election. now he's been endorsed by former president trump, by sarah sarah huckabee sanders and his fellow senator tom cotton, jake bequett e is challenging the senator for the seat. jake, you a

that said the state law is the state law and it is what the lawmakers came up with and where the rnc and oz are. and they point to the politics of this heading into a general election. most -- you heard bryan mention the 10,000 absentee ballots and provisional ballots are coming from the eastern part of pennsylvania in counties that are overwhelmingly democrat to republican. so most of those are in a democratic ballot universe. they look at the possibility, as you heard from ronna mcdaniel, that the democratic secretary of state is all for this because she can turn around and say well, i did it for a republican in the primary and then suddenly it changes the ballgame come general election. >> bill: i guess if you are a republican, democrat, independent or martian you should prove when it happened. i have 916 votes is what bryan said. >> 902. >> bill: as of today 902 which can be overcome. as you and i learned many years ago when we were young men in tallahassee, florida, 902 votes. >> hanging chads and everything. >> you were in the big huge taj mahal >> you were in the truck. >> bil

while republicans sense an opportunity here following president trump's gains with latinos in 2020, the rnc opened a hispanic community center in allentown, knocking on doors. yesterday carla sams campaigned at a bilingual church. conservatives are recruiting latino pastors about encouraging parishioners to get to the polls. >> we want them to go and vote. in that process, when we talk about the issues, we really try to highlight where those issues fall within our judeo-christian value system. >> victor martinez, the owner of a radio station, the largest spanish radio stations here in pennsylvania tells me he's disappointed. he calls the efforts by republicans and democrats horrible. he says the only candidate that has bought a radio ad on his spanish language station is a democrater john fedderman. that's about it. can't complain about voter turnout if you're not reaching out to them. john? >> john: living in allentown, bryan llenas. thanks. we'll focus on that tomorrow. thanks. a big race tomorrow. >> it's going to be a big race. i'm watching to see the new white house correspondent. i'm

the do dn can c and rnc sounding off on the new economic today a that. quote: while republicans rally around an ultra-maga agenda to raise taxes on the american people, end the social security and medicare guarantees and vote against capping insulin prices, democrats are fighting to lower costs for hard working families across the cup. and here the republican rebuke. the latest jobs report doesn't change anything for families suffering under biden's failing economic agenda that has resulted in sky-high inflation, soaring prices and a threat of recession. recently the founder of fedex told bret baier that president obama told him back in the day that his polling numbers tracked almost perfectly with the price of gasoline. meehl? neil: okay. that does seem to be a problem though, especially as the price of that gasoline keep going up week after week. as you reported, lucas, it's not dipping anymore. lucas tomlinson is at the white house on all of that. you might think given all of these inflationary pressures americans are retrenching, and by and large, yo

the big news from yesterday's primary races and robin mc daniel from the rnc will tell us what she learned from last night's results and still including from some infighting among the democrats to further help republicans in the midterms , the political news and analysis you need to be the mos informed in the room today starting at 9:00 a.m. sharp. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have long term consequences. now as you're thinking about all the vaccines your teen might need make sure you ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it. xfinity mobile runs on america's most reliable 5g network, but for up to half the price of verizon

the rnc put out a statement ronna mcdaniel americans overwhelming support common sense pro-life protections and limits on abortion. but, democrats are doubling down on taxpayer funded unlimited abortion on demand up to the moment of birth. see, when we see kamala harris talking about an overwhelming majority of americans. you know, when you ask somebody should a woman have the fundamental right to an abortion? that's the way the polling goes. remember, it was just last week where joe biden had a gaffe where he talked about aborting a child. if you had a poll of americans is it okay to abort a child, i don't think a majority of americans are for that. because when you think oh, a baby? end the life of a baby? i don't think so. >> brian: the whole thing is, too. what's going on with the leaker in the supreme court? where is this investigation? what about the next decision and the next decision after that? you are still leaking out things about the fact that the judges have not -- the justices have not changed their mind. what's going on here? now all of a sudden it's going to be like a typica
