congresswoman elise stefanik, we're still going to talk about her, miles. she's also run a series of campaign ads invoking this racist great replacement theory. and that theory falsely alleges, as you talked about, that lie that is at the center of this conspiracy. that immigrants are coming to the united states in order to replace white voters. aisles, you've been working and you worked in republican politics for a very long time. i know maybe year affiliation to the party maybe on a thin threat now. but these kinds of ideas used to be more fringe, right? but if someone like stefanik is now embracing the kind of racism as a campaign platform, does this signal a definitive shift towards that type of fringe concept being more of a mainstream view of the republican party? >> katie, it absolutely does. what is most telling about the data that you just cited is i strongly believe, if you went back five years, ago you would see those ideas as fringe ideas. i'm sure we'll talk about them in a minute when we talk about qanon and some of the other things that elise

my question to elise stefanik, i'm replacing you? it seems to me you replaced the woman who was in the position you now hold. you want to talk about replacement theory? come on, let's be real about what it is we're concerned about here. we're not being honest about that. and the fact that, you know, you've got tucker carlson talking about, you know, we're trying to replace -- they're going to replace us with obedient voters from the third world. >> right. >> to this moment, the country has to look at that and go, this is who we are. >> right. joe, just -- i know i need to jump to you, but i'll cite "the new york times" here. no public figure has promoted replacement theory more loudly and relentlessly than tucker carlson, who made demographic change a theme of the show since joining the lineup in 2016. a "times" investigation published this month showed that in more than 400 episodes of his show, mr. carlson has amplified the notion that democratic politicians and other assorted elites want to force demographic change through immigra

if a leap stefanik a one-time moderate establishment republican, george w. bush whole wing of the gop, if she's now spouting white supremacist talking points to, it says that white supremacy has gone very, very mainstream on the right, that it's dangerous so, so dangerous as many as of warren for years i'm not saying that a leaked stefanik or took our calls in, or fox, are responsible for the match today and buffalo, that they caused it. no, but they have done is made respectable far-right ideology the conspiracy and the racist worldview that believed to be behind that massacre in buffalo, and they should never be allowed to forget that. joining me now is peter beinart, author of the beinart notebook, an msnbc political analysis and jason stanley, professor of philosophy at yale university and author of how fascism works, the politics of us in them. thank you for both joining me, peter let me start with you, you wrote -- a piece today on the buffalo attack and i understand that you yourself were even pictured in the killers ote unquote, manifesto, which were

host: that's republican congresswoman elise stefanik yesterday on the hill. "the washington post" reports in their newspapers this morning, at issue are supply chain problems that linger from the pandemic and a recall in february by abbott nutrition forcing many stores to ration how much formula one person can buy at a time. the amount of baby formula was at 30%, a 10% increase. it marks a stark significance compared with out-of-stock data from earlier this year when the number fluctuated between 2% to 8%. we are in open forum. steve in brookfield, wisconsin, republican. steve, good morning to you. what's the public policy issue on your mind? caller: good morning. just wanted to follow up from your previous guest regarding the abortion issue. she had mentioned that the majority of the polls support abortion in some fashion. which i agree with. rape, incest, ectopic pregnancy. she kept saying it was in the health of the mother, health of the mother when i think all the studies and everybody can agree, most abortions are due to unplanned pregnancies because of

we need to replace elise st stefanik @cawthornfornc, and others. the replacement theory they're pushing and tolerating is getting people killed. manu raju caught up with congresswoman stefanik. what did she have to say? >> she rejected the criticism and defended her comments. this was in the aftermath of this week, focusing on ads in 2021 on her facebook page. she said radical democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet. their plan to grant amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants who will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in washington. that's gotten a lot of criticism including from the number two senate democrat today, dick durbin, who went to the senate floor and said she was oaechoin the likes of tucker carlson. when i asked stefanik about that, she pushed back. >> dick durbin today criticized your facebook ads, saying they were part of the fear, hate, and racism. >> i condemn racism. on immigration, i support a secure border. i don't support allowing illegals to vote. >> you disavow this replac

you just heard nancy pelosi say that stefanik's statement was irresponsible. let me tell you what was irresponsible. it was biden's fda shutting down the nation's largest manufacturerer of baby formula without a plan to backfill the 43% that they make up in the marketplace. that is irresponsible. prioritizing american kids is the responsible thing to do. having a secure border, that is the responsible thing to do. now nancy pelosi and the biden administration, they are playing catch-up. just like every other issue. it is a disaster from top to bottom and i this weekend went to the donna processing facility myself to make sure that everything was as it was stated to me last week from the border patrol agents that were sending me the photos. yes, there are supplies, yes, there is baby formula, yes, they have been stockpiling it and it is not just a supply room off of the corner of the processing center. they have not one, but two warehouses full of supplies. this is a disaster. >> harris: why not move some of that material? i mention the access that the fda or f

congresswoman stefanik, thank you so much for being in "focus." thank you. the trial of a former clinton campaign lawyer is continuing after a fiery first day. the team accusing michael sussman accusing the f.b.i. as a political tool to hurt then candidate donald trump months before the election. and a new report says president biden's controversial disinformation board was just put on hold. is it at risk of being shut down? was all that backlash too much for them to take? maybe it's the woman on the right who is running it. you know jason chaffetz will get into it next. i thought new phones were for new customers. we got iphone 13s, too. switched to verizon two minutes ago. (mom brown) ours were busted and we still got a shiny new one. (boy brown) check it out! (dad allen) so, wait. everybody gets the same great deal? (mom allen) i think that's the point. (vo) iphone 13 on us for every customer. current, new, everyone. on any unlimited plan. starting at just $35 all on the network more people rely on. veteran homeowners, need cash? at newday you can borrow

so stefanik goes out and raises money off of this, you know. we see candidates getting elected on, you know, race baiting, critical race theory. so now we're seeing again the consequences of that, nicole and the reality is now what? now what? i mean, we can't get a voting rights bill through the united states congress. so i don't know what the hell people expect is going to happen when a white young white guy goes and shoots ten black people. what do you expect that to happen, america? we barely respond to the killing of grade school kids. we have to decide collectively whether or not this matters. what charles said is the case. i love the way he just crystallized what this is. the reality around hey, folks, america is changing. america has been changing since its founding. it's been changing from the moment we stepped on these shores and yet a lot of african-americans not just feel, but know we still carry the brunt of white angst, fear, anger in our communities and so it doesn't matter what the demographic shifts are. we feel we're the go-to

i think that elise stefanik and all of others in congress are the perfect examples of that. you know what katie? there are a lot of other races outside of these ones that we are following so closely, on the air. we look at, people on the phones coming up this year and two years from now. people like christian knew, a governor in new hampshire, who has run his entire political career on being a moderate. i'm being pro-choice. i'm being a pro-choice republican, things like this. when he is constantly trying to keep one foot on each side of the donald trump line. we are getting to a point where there is just not going to work for these republicans anymore. >> i have run out of time. it is always makes me upset, because i always want to keep on talking. basil michael, jennifer horn, thank you both so much. it was it to come back. there is a much more want to talk about. mandatory vasectomies were boys when they reach puberty? that is why -- has proposed in reaction to the abortion crackdown. we are going to talk to him right after the break. e break. you see, son, with a little

>>> and elise stefanik, the gop leadership, who came under fire in the wake of the massacre for the past campaign ads that echoed replacement theory. and yet on monday she tweeted that democrats want wide open borders and mass amnesty for illegals allowing them to vote. that is replacement retro. and the border is canada, not mex coax and the piece deresistance is the overseas holiday, european vacation style by the american conservative movement which covered in bude heft, hungary. do these people have day jobs? the role of the hapless clark griswold followed by this guy who spent much of his video message at the conference foaming over hungarian prime minister who was recently re-elected, if you can call it that, to a fourth consecutive term. >> we are very close, as you know, to victor, a great leader, and a great gentleman and he had a very big election result that, i was very honored to endorse him, a little unusual endorsement, when we're normally looking at the 50 states and we went a little astray because he is a fantastic man. >> is trump training to take credit for the win? the

like stefanik, and sadly many others he saying the quiet racist part out loud. so, isn't it time for all of us members of the media, members of the democratic party, ordinary americans, to call out the elected members of the republican party much more forcefully, for their ongoing promotion of this deadly white supremacist replacement lie. joining us now is ben -- president of the president for the american way, former president the end of his -- op-ed for usa today this week titled the buffalo shooting should make the gop change its great replacement theory rhetoric. ben, thanks for joining us, i mean, they're not changing erratic they're doubling down on it and now they're turning up in budapest with the guy who is the global leader of this conspiracy theory. >> well, it's true, they're making all the same respect for the democratic party made after the civil war, when it became a party that was at that time to find frankly by it's quiet to vocal support for wright supremacists. we're seeing that happen with the republican party, the power of buffalo for the r

is it elise stefanik, or is it liz cheney? it is clearly elise stefanik. >> for sure. >> these republican candidates who espouse replacement theory or make a hat tip to it with language that echoes replacement theory, will they be penalized by voters or rewarded by republican voters in the primaries? the moment, it looks like they will be rewarded. >> well, willie, i wonder if many of these republicans, if they were approached today and said, do you -- do you reject racism? do you reject replacement theory? how many of them would walk away without an answer? >> yeah, they'd be scared to say they do reject it because they worry about losing votes and their power. you're right, mika, elise stefanik was a garden variety establishment republican. she worked in the bush white house. she worked on the romney campaign, working with paul ryan there, getting him ready for debates. she found currency in acting like donald trump, and she has accelerated up into a leadership position in the party. gene robinson, this horror in buffalo a c

and absolutely i am pointing a finger at elise stefanik. >> absolute and absolutely i am pointing a finger at tucker carlson. scott, when you and i started here, it's become crazy by gop leaders and gop influencers on fox news. and that needs to be called out, because it is costing the loolives of people who look like don and who look like me. i'm not going to shut up. i'm not going to talk about leave it to mental health. there are a hell of a lot of crazy people in america. but they're not killing black or brown people. this man had more than a mental issue. he is a radical supremacist brought out by racial theory. he needs to be called out by all of us. >> ana navarro and scott jennings, thanks to both of you. we'll be right back. pre-rinsing your dishes? you could be using the wrong detergent. and wasting up to 20 gallons of water. skip the rinse with finish quantum. its activelift technology provides an unbeatable clean on 24 hour dried-on stains. skip the rinse with finish to save our water. another crazy day? of course—you're a cio in 2022. but you're ready. because you've got the

stefanik is doubling down on the same conspiracy theory that led to a deadly shooting. why hasn't anyone called around? >> i've been disappointed with that as well. one more than -- more than one conversation. it is a very strong sentiment among people in public office when they serve in the body. one of the strongest sentiments. sometimes it becomes detrimental to the reality of what we face as a country, and this is one of those times where they need to call these folks out for not disavowing white supremacy. if not, we will go further and further along this path because it gets normalized and we cannot afford that. i don't care if your relationship with one of these folks might be damaged a little bit. in theory, it might come back at you with something that hurts you politically. we have to speak up and stand up and speak out, or else the nation is going to suffer. our democracy will suffer, and communities of color will see more el pasoans and buffaloes and atlanta's and pittsburgh's, and we don't want that. >> it's bizarre. you've got these cute c names being used

this is what elise stefanik is, she is owned by donald trump because her whole career has been made by the fact that she quit being a old school tim miller style moderate republican, and threw in with trump. trump can't control kathy barnette, she's not all that good, as you watch are doing fox interviews, she doesn't know which is gonna, say she does never talking points. so these guys at all claim to be outsiders, they don't want to reel outsider, they want a person that they can control that will go along with the trump program. at least we'll do that, she is just phony enough to do it, and kathy we isn't, there is nothing about them disagreeing with their positions, they're fine with all those positions of as long as a person stays on message. >> well, all eyes on pennsylvania, tomorrow a. b. stoddard, tim miller, thank you so much. coming, up the conflict in ukraine has another traditionally neutral nation looking to join forces against russia. we will talk to the former ambassador about that, and more, when the 11th hour continues. since i left for college, my dad has gotten back

tucker carlson of fox news and embraced by some republicans, including new york congressmember elise stefanik. prosecutors say the shooter purchased the bushmaster xm-15 semiautomatic rifle used in the assault lawfully from a licensed gun dealer in his hometown of conklin, new york, after he passed a background check. that's despite the fact that the suspect previously threatened a mass shooting at his high school the year before. he allegedly modified his rifle to use high-capacity magazines that are banned in new york state. president biden spoke from the white house sunday as the nation mourned the attack. pres. biden: we are still gathering the facts, but already the justice department has stated publicly that it is investigating the matter as a hate crime, racially motivated act of white supremacy and violent extremism. as they do, we must all work together to address the hate that remains a stain on the soul of america. hearts are heavy once again, but the resolve is never ever waiver. amy: the white house says president biden will visit buffalo on tuesday to meet with the families of v

it's not just elise stefanik, if you watch fox news, this is the mainstay of their primetime hours. tucker carlson discusses it sometimes in euphemistic form, but not always yeuphemistic. what does this country do -- >> it's a really, really tough question, because we don't have, you know, legal instruments in this country to restrain radical speech in that way, and i'm not saying that we should. i don't think the government should be, you know, sort of knocking on tucker carlson's door at 2:00 in the morning because of the stuff he says on the show, but it's a cultural problem when our political leaders and the leaders of big institutions in this country have decided that they are either going to look the other way when mainstream political figures use that kind of rhetoric, or even indulge them and engage in it themselves. it's one of the -- to me, it's one of the most disturbing things that has happened since i have been a political reporter is this cultural shift, where this stuff is not just sort of spouted on, you know, minor talk radio stations, by fringe, state legislators,

in a series of facebook ads late last year, stefanik's campaign claimed that radical democrats' plan to grant amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants will majority in washington.lectorate ooh, and you know what those liberals will do with their powerful majority? beg joe manchin for paid family leave, and then when he doesn't vote for it, say, oh, okay then is there something else we could do for you? what if we fed coal directly to dolphins? so, that's terrible. but here's something i don't get to say a lot: there's good news from eastern europe. 'cuz over the weekend, ukraine won the eurovision song contest. ( cheers and applause ) yeah. "slava ukraine," which of course, means, "suck it, putin," because russia was banned from eurovision. big bummer for russia's top rapper megan the potato.

part of this i think stefanik lays out are the investigations. if jim jordan is running the judiciary committee that will be very prominent part of what you are seeing on the republican side. in addition to that, they have to work through the legislation piece of this which is how do you insure that we try to control the situation at the border? remember we'll end up in a gridlock because while house republicans and let's say we have republicans take the majority in the senate, the reality is, you'll have joe biden basically vetoing any bill. he will try to stop the work of the republicans. it is what happens when you have a divided government. the key will be where can we find common ground? is it for example legislation where you curb the flow of fentanyl coming into this country? there you can find common ground and that will be really i think the challenge as we move forward with a republican majority in the house and senate. >> harris: david, i want to drill down on something mercedes said. she said barack obama is in charge of the party now

by some politicians, including new york congresswoman and number three republican in the house elise stefanik. the congresswoman ran face book adds cleaning president biden and democrats are seeking a permanent election insurrection, by expanding past players to citizenship for undocumented immigrants to quote, overthrow our current electorate. another gop representative, scott perry of pennsylvania, sudden a committee hearing last april, many americans feel like quote, we are replacing national born american native warned americans, to permanently transform the landscape of this very nation, and quote. if they do feel that way, and maybe because they watch facts news host tucker carlson, who said last year that the democratic party is replacing the current electorate with quote, more obedient voters from the third world. in fact the, the new york times reports that carlson has brought a replacement theory in more than 400 episodes of the show, since 2016. now spokesman for congresswoman stefanik in carlson have denied any link between the commentary on immigration actual violence, but i'm le

. >> reporter: to one of the top republicans in the house congressman elyise stefanik her comments are facing push back from some republicans like liz cheney who calling on others to reject those views and those who hold them. >>> more details are emerging about the suspect in the deadly c church shooting. miguel almaguer reports the heroic act of one victim likely prevented a greater tragedy. >> reporter: investigators say the mass shooting on a taiwanese congregation, the gun-hadman ha sealed some locks with super glue the suspect a u.s. citizen born in china who authorities say sought out the taiwanese group specifically, calling it a politically-motivated hate incident during the attack. 52-year-old dr. john chang rushed the gunman, jamming his weapon, allowing other church goers to tie him up. armed with two handguns and a bag of molotov cocktails, the shooter wounded five others before he was taken down the victims ranged in age from 52 to 92 the suspect, a las vegas security guard drove 275 miles to get here. in his car, veinvestigators say they found notes of hatred of taiwanes

it is not in the exact same terms as weight replacement theory and that is what elise stefanik's spokesperson pushed back on. she is simply saying there should not be amnesty. it all mixes and melds together that >> is the whole thing about, what is free speech and what is it full rhetoric that incites people to do terrible things. >> and what is there to do? the new white house press secretary was asked if the white house should pushed back more. callout people by name like tuggle charles -- like carlsen left -- like to go carlsen. we play a role too. our voters challenged enough? who and where does that happen? >> we have media bubbles. there is not cross-pollination. there are people who are paying close attention to this kid or other folks who will not hear much about this at all. the american population is invulnerable to receing conspiracy theories and accepting them as a reality. there is no defined truth. that sort of socialized and allows p to go into the dark recesses of the internet and find things that confirm their beliefs and lead to dangerous places. >> it is front of mine espe

let's go on to another woman, elise stefanik. she is the number three member of house leadership in this country. the republicans replaced liz cheney who whatever you think of her politics is a serious person with her. here's what she tweeted today. the white house, house de "ms." and the usual pedo grifters are so out of touch with the american people that rather than present any plan of urgency to address the nationwide baby formula crisis, they double down on sending palettes of formula to the southern border. joe biden has no plan. i'll start with you first on this, michelle. she has combined qanon lies about the biden administration and an apparent desire to starve migrant children. she got the trifecta. your thoughts? >> well, i think it's worth taking it one by one. the qanon part is especially striking because it just goes to show i think something that will show up on the right as being so extreme that we'll think is so outside the bounds even of the trumpified republican father goes right from the fringes to the center

there are many examples, but i want to bring up congresswoman elise stefanek, because stefanik -- she said she represents an upstate new york district, and is our member of republican leadership. now, last year the congresswoman was criticized by her own hometown newspaper, for running facebook ads, alluding to the great replacement theory. apparently acts bounced by the alleged buffalo shooter. just this week this congresswoman put out a tweet pushing the idea that the biden administration is worse -- worsening baby formula shortage by providing food to migrant babies. she also uses the term, petito grifters, which seems to reference the qanon conspiracy theory. although our staff denies that's what she meant. what is your take on what is going on here and how dangerous is it? >> i mean, what we have seen over the last few years is a blurring and almost an erasure of the lines between the extremist right, the racist right, the right that will pick up a gun and shoot people in a church and a supermarket. and the quote unquote mainstream republican party, what you see on fox news, what

that level of control, i know you're talking about -- elise stefanik, she's tweeting about how her colleagues are pedophiles, well being a leader of a party that is empowering -- trying to take control back from women. instead, make victims of abuse, whether incest or rape, carry pregnancies that may result from that abuse to term. the fundamental hypocrisy is embedded throughout the modern republican party, and republican politicians that we see. and wildly out of step with where voters want them to be. >> cÉcile, a new nbc poll, i believe we have it. we can pull it up for the audience. 60% of american support abortion rights. that is a record high since nbc started asking this question in 2003. what followed from the public -- if the public overturns row? >> i think we're beginning to see it. we did a poll at american bridge along with planned parenthood, earlier in the fall, and essentially, it showed that particularly among republicans and independents, they felt like the position of the republican party, which is that they want to ban all abortion, make it illegal completely, that that

she got kicked out by kevin mccarthy and replaced by elise stefanik. and, you know, elise kind of was playing with this great replacement theory in some facebook ads, i haven't heard a word from kevin about this. this is where we're at. i think, look, as a party, as a country, you got to look back and say, really, is this what we want to be? we can't talk about ronald reagan and then pedal in dark fear. we have got to lead people. we have to be light. and i'll tell you, i'm very worried about where we are, and i think as a country we have to take real inventory of our tone, of our rhetoric and politics. >> let me ask you about the business of the january 6th committee, we learned that the justice department has asked your committee for transcripts of some of the interviews that you have all done. how do you feel about that, and will those be handed over? >> i think the chairman recently addressed this and i'll defer specifically to his words. they were along the lines of, look, we're not going to specifically turn it over to the department of justice.

as for stefanik, she issued condolences. but within 48 hours she said, democrats desperately want wide open borders a mass amnesty for illegal allowing them to vote. but the vast majority of americans, republicans want to secure our borders and protect election integrity. as -- republicans briefly reconsider the idea of comprehensive immigration reform after losing -- but instead walk the path of trumpism -- prominent conservatives could have the option to persuade their cameras to reject this perverse ideology, rather than attempt to sanitize it from their mainstream consumption. we have -- and he joins me now. what do you think has changed in the last two years as we have seen the response to the aftermath of buffalo with a lot of special pleading on behalf of people like elise stefanik talking about immigrants coming as the real -- and the defenses of it by folks like rich larry and others? >> i think what you have seen is the sanitized version of the great replacement conspiracy theory. which is that democrats want to im

including new york congresswoman, -- elise stefanik. a times union editorial, quote, stefanik isn't so brazen as to use the slogans themselves. rather, she catches the hate in alarmist anti emigrant rhetoric that is become standard fare for the party. and -- she doesn't attack immigrants directly, instead, she alleges the democrats are looking to grant citizenship to undocumented immigrants in order to gain permanent liberal majority, or, as she calls it, a permanent election insurrection. i would add to all of that, rick, that just this past week, as we were talking about the baby formula shortage, you had republican elected officials saying, well, the reason we don't have enough formula for our american citizen babies is because you have formula going to immigrant babies that are in detention. that line runs through all of their rhetoric. how dangerous is it? not just coming from fox news, not just coming from the four reaches of the internet, but coming from some of the top brass of the republican party. >> it's extremely dangerous.

the republican congresswoman elise stefanik invoked the conspiracy theory in her campaign ads last year. you got powerful voices amplifying and legitamizing these cist conspiracy theories. what does accountability look like? kathleen: we might add to that list stephen mler when he was in the trump administration, circulation -- circulating and openly white novel about great replacement theory in europe. i don't know if this set of people believes what they are saying or if they are trying to opportunistically use the movement for their own purposes, whether that is to get ratings or make money or get votes. what we do kw is that once the moment is called to arms, it doesn't stand back down. one of the consequences of this kind of rhetoric is events like the shooting in buffalo. u cannot separate one from the other and you cannot in good conscience say you are unaware of these violent implications of that kind of language. the other thing i would say is real accountability means the very difficult work of connecting what seem like one off events with the rest of this organized movement,

new york republican congresswoman elise stefanik says abortion isn't what democrats should focus on their spending more time focusing on that. and they are focusing on the supply chain crisis when it comes to baby formula, which is a crisis hurting babies and families across this country. >> now because of senate rules, any bill on abortion need 60 votes to advance. reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john. >> so, basil, how might this vote affect the midterm elections? as yol know, this is another issue that separates the democrats and the republicans. >> well, more so this ends up helping democrats in terms of their campaigning. this is supposed to give democrats now another point where they can grab some voters were still undecided who felt strongly the whole concept of losing abortion rights, telling them to go out to the polls, vote for democrats, get more blue in the house and the senate to make a difference when it comes to legislation. now republicans can utilize this point as well. they can say that democrats are trying to push, as we said on the senate floor, radical extrem

but republicans like congresswoman elise stefanik say president biden is tough life who should have had a plan for this shortage months ago. instead their shelves, biden has continued to pass the buck. democratic congresswoman abigail spanberger tells me this shortage is separate from other supply issues and says it shouldn't be made into a political talking point. the ability to feed children across the united states is not one that should become such a partisan polarized issue. now president biden is trying to address the shortage by cutting red tape for manufacturers and increasing foreign imports. to our message to parents is we hear you. we want to do everything we can and we're going to cut every element of red tape to help address this and make it better. but bipartisan calls are growing for the president to go further by using the defense production act should not be afraid to invoke the dpa to ensure that we can protect the health nutrition and the ability to eat all of our nation's babies and children. the white house is that still on the table? and speaker nancy pelosi says b

elise stefanik said they've gotten little to no response from dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas. >> todd: alexandria, thank you. we can be hours away from -- >> carley: the jury to deliberations with campaign lawyer to not testify in his own defense last week. brooke singman live in washington and what to expect, brooke, good morning. >> good morning, the jury could deliver a verdict as early as today in the trial of michael sussman. judge cooper sent the jury to jury deliberations friday afternoon with the government and his defense but cooper said jurors should not be improperly influenced by biases including political affiliation. special counsel john durham aim to court armed with evidence including emails, bills and receipts for jurors during closing arguments as they make their final arguments to sussmann lied to the fbi when he said he wasn't bringing trump russia allegations on behalf of the client spirit and build the clinton campaign on the same day he met with the fbi. according to the evidence, sussmann built a campaign 2016 for work in communications with a confidential proj

leading -- i would argue that they are leading the republican caucus, and so kevin mccarthy, elise stefanik, instead of leaving, as their title, leadership, which suggest they do, they are basically tolerating this all in the name of hopefully i become speaker someday. you can't fund raise, you can't live on fear because eventually you are going to create fearful people and fearful people can do really bad things that i think that is what we saw in buffalo. >> tucker: so they are continuing to tell you, in the face of all available evidence, that the mass murder you saw over the weekend in buffalo was inspired by hateful right-wing rhetoric when in fact that mass murder was committed by someone with diagnosed mental illness that the adults around him apparently ignored. okay, so a shooting by a crazy person that has been hijacked by partisan forces to crush political dissent, to attack civil liberties in this country. you should care about that. he does, a political science professor and host a podcast joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. what do you make of this legislation? >>

new york's stefanik is a member of the house republican leadership and she is a mom and has a 9-month-old son who needs formula. watch. >> this is a crisis across america. i can think of no more harrowing crisis for parents as they are desperately trying to find access to baby formula. i am hearing from parents all across america we are demanding action. we want to make sure there is a plan and we have seen no plan from joe biden or the fda. >> harris: not a crisis to them, apparently. a new op-ed says the fda has failed to protect families and the baby formula shortage crisis. here is a mom. >> the other danger is that while you are keeping your baby alive, you are creating deficiencies that are critical for brain development that they aren't going to recognize until there is some damage done to their brain development and you will only realize that a couple months down the road. >> harris: here is what happens when you abdicate your responsibility on any issue. you hear words like rationing used for baby formula in the united states and you don't run to the white house lectern to fix it

we know elise stefanik used qanon style rhetoric in a tweet, and she used to be the sort of very upstanding member of the gop. so we are certainly seeing that this party is getting worse and worse. and a shockingly even without trump, trumpism is really alive and well. so that is very worrying. and then also, there's a crime committed with an assault rifle. and it just seems to be no interest in curbing assault rifles, even though these are weapons of mass destruction. there are things that are not used by normal hunters, in hunting scenarios. >> tim, on to get your thoughts on this, originally gonna talk about that, and that isn't by the philadelphia inquirer declining to endorse any republican candidates over a failure to agree on, quote, basic facts. that's those you something about where we are. >> it, does and unfortunately, for the people to vote republican primaries, they've already decided that the philadelphia inquirer is now, whatever. the woke fake news media. so that goes into it. and this is a problem, this is where it all gets related, where people are living in their bubbles,

. >> ainsley: elise stefanik the republican congresswoman from upstate new york she has a 9 modged son named sam he is formula-fed. the shelves are fairly empty in upstate new york and babies are going to bed hungry. the biden administration should have had a plan months ago and she calls him bare shelves biden and continues to pass the buck. >> steve: exactly. why didn't joe biden's administration in february, when they closed the plant. >> ainsley: the largest producer of formula in our country. >> steve: abbott labs produces 98% of the formula in the country is manufactured -- that american babies use is made here in the united states. only 2% imported. so it's crazy that they are saying yeah we are going typically port all this stuff. but why when they closed that plant didn't they immediately say you know what? this is going to cause a problem. we know all about supply chain issues. this is the plant. they should have announced that in february. that's one of the things that jacqui heinrich pressed jen psaki on -- by the way stowed jen psaki's last day. why didn't the administrati

new york congresswoman stefanik who has a 9-month-old boy spoke. >> they should have had a plan for this shortage months ago. instead bare shelves biden has continued to pass the buck. >> this is not a third world country and should never happen in the united states of america. >> harris: we showed you the news conference happening live this hour yesterday. within minutes the white house told us the president will meet with retailers and manufacturers. and now here is the white house's response to blame americans look at this. >> we're seeing an enormous problem is hoarding. people hoarding because they are fearful. more infant formula has been produced in the last four weeks and every step to increase that. the message to parents is we hear you. >> harris: raymond arroyo fox news contributor. i want to get your thoughts to the parents being blamed. >> when your baby is hungry you do whatever you need to do. if you call that hoarding fine but people are desperate. i have friends completely out of formula and now bartering with one another and sharing formula. it is absurd in a country li

these people are sitting up in senior positions in the senate and the congress, like stefanik, that are talking about replacement theory. replacing who? most people, unless you were from great britain, protesting king george, came here. we were already here since 1619. who are we replacing? if anything, we helped build the country that they were appealed to come to. so at the same time you're saying, don't have critical race theory in the schools, which happen to not be in the schools, but we're going to talk about people replacing us, the native americans and the blacks were already here when we got here. in fact, we came here because they built the country, made it seem like it could be enriching, and never got paid for it. and on top of all these insults, grandma can't go to the supermarket? >> it's sick. it's sick. it's a sickness. we need all of you to stick around. we'll be right back. all of you around we'll be right back. ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. ♪ harp plays ♪ only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you

new york republican congresswoman elise stefanik says abortion isn't what democrats should focus on their spending more time focusing on that. and they are focusing on the supply chain crisis when it comes to baby formula, which is a crisis hurting babies and families across this country. >> now because of senate rules, any bill on abortion will need 60 votes to advance. >> reporting live in washington. i'm basil, john. >> basil, how will this vote affect the midterm elections is, of course, this is just another issue that separates the parties. >> well, if anything, this will be one of those issues that democrats will really be rallying up support for to bring more voters out to the polls when it is time for the mid term said this will just be another reminder for americans, at least from the democrats perspective to go out and vote. if you want to make a difference. now, republicans, they can also utilize this during the campaign season to see that they're preventing democrats from passing legislation that they are calling extreme and radical. so both sides will be able to utilize it. b

representative elise stefanik says she is ultra maga and proud of it. what do you think this will mean for both sides as we are discussing here? >> well, i think biden is probably right to try to draw a contrast with some of these really extreme maga types. look in tpennsylvania, gubernatorial candidate, doug mastriano, and this senate candidate, kathy barnett. they are oh way on the fringe and the democrats are salivating, hoping they are nominating because this the gubernatorial race, they will win. they will win a race and likely win the senate race, should she be nominated. so yes, anytime you get these candidates so far on the fringe and most of them aren't, by the way. but -- but in pep nnsylvania, i is like we could have a terrible double-nightmare scenario going into this election. while the wind is in the democrats' face and i disagree with paul a little bit. i have been to scranton many times. i don't think biden is doing so well up there in the county because of where they have been on the economy, especially with, you know, inflation. prices

miss the stats stefanik racism that i heard exists from so many individuals in that city, the black community that feels completely under attacked, feels that they are not supported, not being acknowledged, dumping recognized, how do you recognize, them support, them lift him up, and thrive? >> we've got to continue to wrap our arms around each other, hold each other up, lift each other up, express love for each other in this community. the only answer, at a time like this, only love can drive out hate. dr. king said it very eloquently, hate can't drive out hate, only love can do that. that's gotta be a major focus of what we do going forward. i also have said that i believe there has gotta be extraordinary federal aid coming to this community. this was an act of domestic terror. peoples lives were up and. peoples lives were shattered. just like when there is a natural disaster, and there is devastation in communities from the hurricane or from a tornado, this act of domestic terrorism causes devastation to the east side of buffalo, caused devastation to the black community into the city of b

just hosted leader mccarthy and elise stefanik down here as my tenth delegation. this is part of the problem. we have to make sure that we have repatriation flights that send people back that don't qualify for asylum. once that happens, the spigot turns off. i look at it whether it's mayorkas or somebody else, cdp commissioner, magnus, he needs to be responsible as well. regardless who is in the white house. congress needs to lead again. title 42 goes away in 18 days. there's a way for moderate democrats that talked about being supportive and helping the border, now is the time to keep title 42 in place. >> martha: more to talk about. we'll let you go with that, congressman gonzales. good to have you with us today. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: so okay. the dow is not having a good day to put it mildly.down 1,200 points. what a roller coaster this thing has been and adds, of course, to the problems and the economy and how people feel. they look at their 401(k). that is not great for the president because it makes people feel not great about the economy. so we'r
