so again, this is not something unique to to trump the trump administration. he simply doing things here or did things here that that have produced similar results when other presidents have done them. yeah, and also think even if not, everything goes to the workers, which there's a lot of evidence that a lot goes to the workers, you know half america or shareholders their owners of these companies and their pensions are presumably benefiting that something we stress quite a bit on how much people's pensions were increasing during the trump administration and these are workers throughout the economy might not be the poorest of the workers, but they're certainly workers in the economy there. also a big debate. i wanted to sort of hear your take on this on the buybacks that occurred with these texts. can you talk a little bit about that? i don't i don't i don't think i get into that in the book the buyback debate. so no i i i don't get into that now. okay. well, i think i think also that was misguided a little bit because if you have a buyback that's just better

trumps endorsed mint. have to invest in red states, because we have good candidates. we have good messaging. but we don't have resources, the democrats can't win. why do you think that is? >> i think because trump has a >> i promise, jane, to the back to this point, but before complete look on the republican we do. party. we saw with trump's endorsement, allegations of misconduct are not a deal breaker if the candidates house trumps endorsed mint. why do you think that is? >> i think because trump has a complete look on the republican party. there was a void, i think, there was a void, i think, for so long of actual for so long of actual republicans giving clear platform of the republican party, where their vision was going to go. and so trump gave them that. republicans giving clear and trump really spoke to the worst of their values. platform of the republican party, where their vision was going to go. and so trump gave them that. and trump really spoke to the he spoke to them being, worst of their value

when the rest of those trump trump fanatics. doug mastriano has been subpoenaed by the january six committee, and he has illegally in or that subpoena. we now know that attorney general merrick garland's department of justice, is investigating -- exactly the same attempts to overthrow the election that the january 6th invite committee is investigating the exact same territory. dog master no may well, then, we the subject of that justice department investigation. four republican candidate for governor in pennsylvania, has been subpoenaed by the january six committee, ignore that subpoena illegally, and maybe the subject of a federal criminal investigation right now for his role in attempting to overturn the presidential election, and 580,042 pennsylvanians voted for that candidate. elections for governor are not supposed to matter like this. and yes, there can be important issues in government elections. but the future of the american government? the future of american democracy is not supposed to be one of the things at issue in

i want to play that. >> i'm a never trump guy. >> has trump seen this? >> president trump tweeting -- >> a surprise endorsement of mitt romney. >> how'd that turn out? >>. look, i love trump, but he's getting it wrong with j.d. vance too.o. >> people wouldn't -- would have voted for trump if it weren't for racist reasons. >> we've got our own eyes and our own ears. j.d. vance is a fraud. >> club for growth is responsible for the copp tent of ad -- con tenter of this ad. >> guest: the club for growth and donald trump have had very fractious relationship over the alcourse of the last half decad. originally, the club was one of the most prominent anti-trump groups in the primary, they butted heads quite a few times in that race. after trump won, like the rest of the republican establishment, the club came around and became one of his most vociferous supporters. however, the club still does adhere to perhaps a greater degree of ideological rigor than president trump when selecting candidates, and the club has been onboard for josh mandel since the very begin

the votes trump needed. that's that implied rationale for his entire candidacy. but since that plan failed as well, on january 4th, just two days before the election was certified in congress, a woman, later identified as a publicist linked to the rapper, kanye west, showed up at election worker, ruby freeman's house. now, keep in mind, ruby freeman has people outside of her house. she is being buried it on the internet right? this person knocks on her, and that she's representing power people, and then threatening they would come after freeman, if she did not admit to stealing the election from biden in the next 48 hours. >> we would like to let you know first and foremost, we have -- over the next 48 hours in which to move you. [inaudible] i cannot say what specifically will take place. i just know that it will disrupt your freedom and [inaudible] -- the freedom of one or more of your family members. you are a loose and for a party that needs to tidy up. >> you are a loose and for a party that needs to tid

and it was all trump, trump, i said there is no path for anyone but president trump. was working with the trump campaign, from the spring of 2016 on. and i was summoned to donald trump famous 26 floor office, mr. trump said, i'm told that i'm a better candidate than she is, i said i think that is true, he said do you think we could still do this. i said beat hillary, yes. the windows are closing and polls, i know polls, and i know leaders, you can beat her, but we have to do a couple things differently. and i went through the list with him, he said yes to every one. i had not experienced this in my career, he said can you be my campaign manager, i said i need to look at data. >> he said can you do, that i said yes, not know figure i could. -- not knowing if i could, only person they told that day that donald trump offer ed me campaign, was my husband george, he said, he could win with you. >> bringing kellyanne in was first good decision he made, she knew how to talk to donald trump, there was a lot of moments between august and november, he needed to be told the trut

endorsed by trump. and he is in concert and fits better with the conservative voter who is dominate the runoff elections in texas. >> we spent a lot of time on this in these other states. trump to texas republicans means what? >> well, trump to texas republicans means just what it does in the rest of the nation. i mean, they're growing increasingly conservative as a cycle goes by. he's -- texas has an independent streak with their political looders, both reason and democrat. trump has been able to step in and sort of knock that out of the way, and become the leader of the party. and it comes at a time when the bush brand, of course, and george p. bush is the heir of that. it started with the tea party movement and accelerated when trump began to dominate the republican party. >> we talked about this race earlier, but in the primary, the democratic congressman was not able to get above 50%. he has to run again against cisneros. a progressive against a moderate. immigration and abortion issues. >> i'm loo

trumps endorsed mint. why do you think that is? >> i think because trump has a complete look on the republican party. there was a void, i think, for so long of actual republicans giving clear platform of the republican party, where their vision was going to go. and so trump gave them that. and trump really spoke to the worst of their values. he spoke to them being, essentially, the individuals who always wanted to be the biggest, the best, and only care about their individuals. >> the winner of tonight's republican primary, of course, has a solid advantage in a red state. i take your point about what national democrats need to do with infrastructure in order to invest in those red states. after ask, you the, you are leading the straight party, what are nebraska democrats are doing to stop him from getting into the governor's mansion? >> we have 500 democrats running across the state of nebraska. we are obviously running and oppressive grassroots campaign to make sure voters have voted by mail, whatever dis

does anyone have any sway that could, well, trump trump's? >> the short answer is no, not for this core at least in daze l -- in days like today, on days like today, prime electorate, especially in ruby red states. we're watching for results in west virginia and nebraska. but i think the answer to your question lies in the changes that we've seen in the public statements from lindsey graham and kevin mccarthy. my guess is the changes are that despite what their reaction was, a very human reaction in the immediate days and -- hours and days after january 6th, they realized that the political winds weren't changing in their own party so they went back to full-on trumpism. >> this idea, abby, of enough being enough, to paraphrase what lindsey graham had to say, it is true, mary poppins, i'll stay as long as the wind doesn't change direction, and the wind didn't change direction, the mom in me has to quote mary poppins, but one of the people that donald trump is endorsing in nebraska has allegations of misconduct against him. this is kind of a li

gave trump credit for that. that is part 2 of the reason i believe he did better in 2020. he was focused on reopening the economy quickly after covid hit. a lot of these i am talking better service sector workers they cannot work from home during the lockdown. and they wanted to get back to work. trump was in favor of reopening the economy. i think that rebounded toam his benefit when it came to 2020 and that's why although he lost the election he did much better among blacks and hispanics particularly among the men and both of those groups. >> i have written in the past the total damage of covid both dithe disease itself, mortality and morbidity also the cost of preventing future disease. meaning forgone economic activity. if you look at the data during 2020 the vast majority of the total farm cost of prevention about 80% in the middle and 20% traditionally measured how we value lives in government accounting was due to the disease itself in terms of mortality. so trump shows up if you look internationally u.s.

to trump as possible. he happened to win the endorsement, and it worked for him. i also think it's notable that trump's endorsement came as early voting was already under way in that state. so i think it just emphasizes that even a relatively late endorsement seemed to have given vance just enough juice to kind of beat out the competitor. and also when you have the race split between so many candidates vance might end up with 30% of the republican vote. that kind of says how split, you know, republican voters are picking among candidates who frankly are not that much different from each other when it comes down to it. >> well, the difference is one's got the rubber stamp of donald trump. and of course as you mentioned before this is mbd who trump had to warm up to after early criticism by jd vance and you had hat late in the game. david, at this point we were talking a lot in the day obviously about the impact of this draft opinion that's not final. we've been told that. it was leaked, but if it's any indi

another key point to trump's endorsements, groups who are for trump and against trump have done polling on this. when people know, republicans know that he is endorsed in a race, it does the end to make them support that person. but without him being on major social media platforms and them always knowing what he's doing anymore, republican voters don't always know who he is endorsed in these races if he's not out there telling them. >> we're going through the primary on tuesday. one of the reason the races are important in the primary is how important they are in november. stacey abrams will be the democratic candidate for the governor of georgia. will democrats turn out in the midterm election year? will the republican fracturing over trump and other things have an impact? that state is going to be a great laboratory. >> absolutely. and to bring it back to social media, i think there's a lot of democrats that would love to have trump back on social media for the general especially. because they can use what he says on social media. and use that in ads and turn what he says against the

trump endorsement or want that trump endorsement. it is a politics of grievance that he has calculated is needed to win over trump's support and the support of trump's supporters. the other day he was quoted as saying he beeves president biden has allowed fentanyl to flow into republican enclas because he wants maga voters to get addicted and di those are shocking utterances but they have become common place in the course of this campaign. just one quick note of caution. will it win him the primary? he's trending in the right direction but there is a state senator matt dolan. is man has overtly run as a never trumper. i'm curis to see what dolan gets in addition to seeing what vance gets on tuesday night. >> of cose, ohio is such an important state in presidential years. you can't when the presidency without ohio. let'salk about another primary election coming up. that's west virginia, where joe manchin has crossed the line and featured on camera in a new ad for a republican, but he's knocking build back better on camera. >> yeah. >>

trump's gonna be suing. we're gonna win this narrowly, and then, trump is gonna be fine taken every step along the way. i mean, buckle up. it's gonna -- will be fighting about this until we get into the new congress. we'll be fighting about it until january 6th. maybe beyond, i mean, trump will not let go. quliptaâ„¢ can help prevent migraine attacks. you can't prevent what's going on outside, that's why quliptaâ„¢ helps what's going on inside. quliptaâ„¢ is a pill. gets right to work to prevent migraine attacks and keeps them away over time. quliptaâ„¢ blocks cgrp a protein believed to be a cause of migraine attacks. quliptaâ„¢ is a preventive treatment for episodic migraine. most common side effects are nausea, constipation, and tiredness. learn how abbvie can help you save on quliptaâ„¢. ♪ ♪ constipation, and tiredness. aleve x. its revolutionary rollerball design delivers fast, powerful, long-lasting pain relief. aleve it, and see what's possible. ♪ ♪ what do you think healthier looks like? ♪ â

well, trump didn't do this, trump didn't do that. trump did more in four years than any president in history has done in four years, not even close. one of the things he did was appoint all these judges, which you can think for not having masks on the airplane yesterday. it was a trump judge. would ban him told me, was that gorsuch, amy coney barrett, and kavanaugh were not necessarily selected for a social conservative views. their litmus test was their approach to that deep state and the administrative state, and will they help rollback the administrative state? and, they asked them specifically about the exxon case, and how that was handled. so, sometimes if you think cabinet is unfolding in the right way, remember when he is up there to do is to deconstruct the deep state, at least in terms of what trump thought he was bringing them in to do. so, i want to -- >> is it time for another question? >> no. >> please? >> no concourse. >> did you mean a chevron, case not exxon? >> chevron, yeah. let me leave you with us. you mentioned t

oz and in bold, endorsed by trump. the poles were not looking great for odds leading into about april, but then the president chose and endorsed the doctor, and that is when things started to take a turn, at least allwise, and we went out today and spoke to voters, we found most people we spoke to, who were in between, they were really in between dr. oz, as well as kathy barnette, and those we spoke to that voted for dr. oz, said they thought about two things. one, president trump's endorsement. and the second, electability. listen. >> my main purpose was to come out for odds because trump supports him and i am a trump fan. >> i think he is in america first candidate, all the commercials that i had seen, i think, were not right, i don't believe he is a rin no. >> it was a tough choice between dr. oz and kathy barnette. the one thing -- i want somebody who is going be electable. mehmet oz certainly has the name recognition. >> the former president, he took part in a tele- rally last night. he called in, we are told it w

trump's baseless claim. running against lou barletta, bill mccswain and dave white. we're watching the leading candidate lieutenant governor john fetterman undergoing surgery toed to receive a pacemaker after suffering a stroke on friday. his top opponents, congressman and former marine lamb from pittsburgh area any state representative from philly. we're watching races from coast to coast. let me bring in my colleague, erin burnett. >> jake, in less than 30 minutes, voting ends in north carolina so we're up against it right now, trump-backed congressman ted bud, faking on the former governor pat mccurry as well as pat walker and on the democratic side now, beezley for the first black senator in north carolina. where to go here with madison cawthorn, whether he can survive his republican primary, one time rising star to the right, his first term blamed by multiple controversial scandals and other rivals hoping to put an early end to cawthorn's congressional career. meantime, on the other side of the country,

trump. but you have his own son saying, no, he's going to cooperate. bad news for steve bannon and peter navarro's legal claims. they look more isolated with trump jr. facing this committee and thus facing it as a valid investigative process. and that's not all. it follows ivanka trump and jared kushner who also decided to testify voluntarily given they both worked in the white house for four years. ivanka trump's testimony reportedly helping the committee fill in a lot of gaps according to some reporting. nick, more than one legal story in the news. i'm speaking to you in front of the supreme court because of that leaked opinion. and we have more coverage on later tonight. but of course it's also the institution that ruled overwhelmingly against related secrecy claims by the former president, by the idea these trump allies could just avoid or defy this committee outright. what's your reaction to don jr. joining other family member here? >> my reaction is this. i mean, they are cooperating s

it was basically a noun, a verb, and donald trump. everything had to involve donald trump. what is more remarkable tha john alluded to, the diminished role of the senator who is leaving, rob portman, a senator who has been there since 2010. he also endorsed a candidate, but his candidate has gotten no traction. it is also remarkable to think it was not long ago in 2016 that john kasich easily won the primary in ohio over donald trump. that somebody like a rob portman could win. he ran seven points ahead of donald trump in 2016 in the general election. those folks no longer exist in ohio. judy: we will see what happens in ohio. people are saying, will this happen in every republican primary? no way to know that right now, but donald trump is still a factor. annie: jd vance was lagging behind in this campaign until donald trumpent in and endorsed him. you saw a fox news pollhat came out shortly after the endorsement. it was practically doubled, and incredible jump. none of us have a crystal ball, we don't know what will happen. the polling has been difficult to follo but you

plus the power of trump. voters in ohio send a clear election night message by picking trump candidates up and down the ballot. the former president is still the gop's dominant force. how dominant will be tested in the primaries ahead a scorched earth assault, pictures and accusation of war crimes. the russian war in ukraine is bloody beyond comprehension. some ask, why isn't vladimir putin being even more brutal? we begin in ohio, an early mid-term verdict was trump's brand. he is proof, he called trump a dem gochlth he is is on the big lie and conspiracies and surge to win, it began when the former president said vance was his ma'am man. his victory carries considerable juice with republicans and they spell disappointment for republican who's had hoped to move past the big lie. we start our coverage this hour in cleveland, ohio, kristen holmes. >> reporter: yeah, one thing you didn't mention there was the millions of dollars that outside republican groups spent in the state trying to stop j.d. vance on the

oz is endorsed by trump. barnett reigned hard trying to get the trump vote. those most align with trump, endorsed by trump, have generally done the worst with the mail-in vote and the best with the same day vote. so that could portend well for mccormick. if we do end up tonight in a real close situation, mccormack versus oz, and there is this many uncounted mail but let's. there might, just based on how it's been going so far, there might be advantage for mccormick in the balance. >> and why is it, why do they do worse on the mail in ballots? i'm having flashbacks of the 2020 presidential election. is it because trump hates those ballots? >> i think it's mostly that. we're talking about pennsylvania in the fall of 2020, if you remember that week. joe biden with every mail ballot update got closer and closer to pennsylvania until they talk to -- . trump had been telling people, do not vote by mail, vote in person! a lot of republicans, it seems, got that message. if you look at the total participation in this republican primary, well over 1 million votes have

that is why we say trump, trump, trump. he turned into a politician for us. thank you, mr. trump. host: is he a politician now? caller: i do not know if he is a politician now. my parents were democrats, but hey, look at the gas prices. what were the gas prices then? you can blame anybody you want to blame but look at the way they were then in the way they are now. host: that was joe in texas. another state holding primaries tuesday, alabama. bruce says president trump's influence is not enough. go ahead. caller: hello. i don't know if it is enough or not enough, but some of the people he endorses to me are not the right ones. he started out with mo brooks. i agree with the lady in alabaster. i think katie britt is the one for alabama. when it comes to our governor race, i don't like kay ivey. blanchard, she is going to haul the illegal immigrants to the airport and make them pay for her bags. i used to work for the gated neighborhood she lives in, or still lives there which was 10 or 15 years ago. flew on their private jets to new york. i know a lot about them and i would not vot

has donald trump been subpoenaed? has eric trump been subpoenaed? have any of the republicans who were, in my opinion, accomplices before, during, and after the fact been subpoenaed, much indicted for treason we all saw? we saw donald trump acting like a mob boss on a fell phone call to georgia. i know thatth because i saw it on your show. we all saw it. we saw donald trump acting like a mob boss when he sent a mob to the capitol. >> don winslow, good to have you on here. i'll remind folks, the new book is "city on fire." >>> as for these trump backed candidates with voting tomorrow in key primaries, well, watch what happens when trump can't even remember who he endorsed. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist.

well trump didn't do this trump didn't trump did an incredible. he did more in four years than any president in history has done in 40 more not even close and one of the things he did was to point all these judges which you can thank for not having mass on the airplane yesterday. it was a trump judge. okay what bannon told me was that gorsuch? amy connie barrett and kavanaugh were not necessarily selected for social conservative views. their litmus test was their approach to the deep state and the administrative state and will they help roll back the administrative state and they asked them specifically about the exxon case and and how that was handled. so sometimes if you think kavanaugh isn't voting the right way remember what he's up there to do is to deconstruct the deep state at least in terms of what trump thought. he was bringing them in to do so, i want to one last question. oh, no. please don't course. did you mean chevron case not exxon case chevron? chevron? yes. okay, great. and so so, let me leave you with this, you know because somet

trump? come on. >> what are you saying? >> i'm not surprised. do you know why, he has had a problem with strong women whether it's in his party or not. going from omarosa who was in his party to people outside of the party, maxine waters, congresswoman frederica wilson, you have had problems, you are not minority, but he has had a problem with women -- >> trump is also an idiot and i don't think there's any science to these endorsements. >> exactly. >> joe walsh, april ryan, thank you. >> thank you. >> appreciate you being here. >>> we're getting new details this morning about the attack in buffalo, the mass shooting there. new details about the shooter's alleged online activity from right before the attack began. >>> we also have new details on what u.s. intelligence is revealing about a possible north korean missile test ahead of president biden's visit to neighboring south korea that's happening this week. pre-rinsing your dishes? you could be using the wrong detergent. and wasting up to

keep trump in office. he wrote, quote, this is a very, very, very important and informational meeting tonight with full written reports of all this election was truly stolen from us and anyone who does not believe that is true is totally inaccurate. we need to think how that affect my campaign for governor. of course, the way it affected his campaign for governor, was that he got donald trump's endorsement and a huge boost in tonight's race. by being trump's devoted ally in spreading his big election lie. and the governor's race isn't the only primary contest where this happened in nebraska. take the attorney general's race. this is one of those contests where there were no democrats running. there were only two republican candidates for the job. and one of them dropped out of law school after one semester. she said she didn't know much about the legal issues facing the state and once she's in office, she would figure out, quote what you're allowed to do. but she knows one thing that 2020 election was frau

purdue or trump? >> well, i think in georgia given david purdue has not been a good candidate from the start, giver than he has not really told voters why they should elect him, other than that he's been promoting the big lie. that's a whole rationale for his campaign. join me in defeating kemp because he refused to overturn the 2020 election. so i think in many ways, he, david purdue, has spearheaded his own fate regardless of donald trump. the race to watch in georgia that will really be a test of donald trump's strength in endorsements will be secretary of state. it's one of his top targets. rath us berger refused to go along with trump in finding the votes trump needed to win. it's going to be fascinating to watch whether trump in endorsing hiess, can get her over the finish line. >> trump -- >> i have to disagree. >> go, lisa. >> i was going to say i disagree there. yeah, it may be running to a runoff, but i think the trump factor really isn't playing here as well, because it's brad rathensberger

every candidate says i love donald trump. no, no, no, i love donald trump more. no, no, no, i have donald trump tattooed on my rear end. >> wow. >> i mean, that's funny, but it's true. i mean, everyone is fighting to be the trump guy. but this race, in particular, is kind of fracturing the republican party in some ways. >> it is. look, among other reasons, it is a crowded republican primary, it was a primary where a lot of candidates got started very early. it's an increasingly red state. indicative of where things are headed in the gop. it is absolutely, abby, the field where you are seeing -- and most of these primary fields are basically 50 shades of trump. at least for these open senate seats. >> yeah. >> you are -- but it is one where he has dipped -- you know, dipped in, and these are basically candidates who are equal on issues, on where they are on trump, on a number of factors. so if trump does end up making the difference here, that will be telling. >> yeah. >> but to jonathan's point, it's hard to predict. i mean, you know, vance's team is feeling very

there he is with trump. he was at the ellipse on january 6th where thousands of trump supporters gathered before marching to the capitol. he was also paling around, or schmoozing with trump insiders ahead of the attack. herbster peddling the big lie while campaigning. >> none of the states would look at those irregularities. i can only say this -- as an individual who watched elections all of my life, it's very difficult personally for me to believe that joe biden got over 80 million votes. >> now herbster faces allegations from eight women that he groped them without consent. two of those accusations, i should note, are from fellow republicans, including a state senator. herbster denies the claims maga world, the most important thing is you've got lie for trump. also, new details on one of the 36 qanon supporters running for congress. j.r. majuski won in his run for congress. you see him there. he's a big lie guy. this picture showing him outside the capitol. he tweeted and then deleted it. also surfacing,

trump-ified candidate. there's a lot of analysis of the results tonight in georgia. donald trump is going to have a very bad night. this is still a political party that has to swim in the world that he has created. mo brooks is deeply invested in this lie, whether or not he has donald trump's endorsement or not. a fantastic job by vaughan hillyard under very difficult circumstances. it was amazing to watch it live. >> to say the least. fact checking in real time, never easy and on the spot. thank you very much. thanks so shannon, sara and to charlie. >>> joining us now is cianti reed. thanks for being with us. this is the first statewide election under georgia's new voting law, which reduced drop box hours, increased voter i.d. requirements, barring volunteers from providing refreshment, giving the state to overrule county decisions. tell me what you think might be the biggest change and how it might affect today's race. >> andrea, there are so many changes that we have seen as a result of the anti-voter sb

trump to a russian back. since then, those claims have been debunked thoroughly. the fbi looked into it and concluded they were meritless, special counsel robert moeller concluded it was meritless. when he was testifying before congress, moeller was asked about the alpha bank allegations. he said as far as he knew, there was no evidence to back these allegations up. host: he goes to -- michael sussman goes to this fbi agent, says he has this evidence, but says he is not representing a client. what does the fbi agent do with that information? guest: it was the fbi's top lawyer, james baker. he had a personal relationship with sussman. that raises an interesting question. james baker is not an agent. he is not an investigator. he is not -- he talked about this when he was on the stand, trained to ask michael sussman questions. he did not know how to handle a tip when it was brought into him. he was there to advise the fbi on legal matters. with privacy rights and issues like that. he is not somebody you would t

did he trust trump? no. >> i don't think you can trust donald trump with anything he says. >> it is, you know, if you go back to 2015 and 2016 and what a lot of republicans said, and there's tape. >> you could use the whole hour to play all the things ted cruz said about donald trump, and every other republican. it's true. but it seems as though we'll see what happens with the actual results. it seems as though it is the issue is what you were saying that sort of maga voter is not the maga man. >> hit the pause for a second in this situation and take you to the pentagon. mark milley given an update on russia's war in ukraine including what weapons other countries are willing to bring to the fight. >> limits on how they can be used either in crimea or the donbas. and general milley, can you -- the army the other day said it's going to take about 18 months to replenish some of the stocks they sent in the drawdown. specifically javelins. what is the risk to the u.s. military as it goes forward on weapons sy

but that is where donald trump is right now. yes, yes maybe trump helps in primaries. in republican primaries with the most extreme members of that party. but we've seen it time and again. donald trump helps somebody in the primaries, they get to general elections and what do they do? the same thing that donald trump did. they lose. donald trump got crushed in the 2018 midterms. and of course donald trump more than anybody else helped the democrats take control of the united states senate. ask republicans in georgia, they will tell you that they would have want both of those senate races in 2020 and mitch mcconnell would have been running the united states senate but for donald trump. so, yeah, i know a lot of democrats were glad when trump got banned from twitter. but actually the best thing for the democrats would be if he got become on twitter. if he kept running his mouth. if he kept sending out stupid tweets. because it would remind those voters who voted for republicans up and down the ballot that votered for joe biden in 2020 exactly why they did that. more trum

and our supporters of donald trump. roses currently facing federal surcharges of seditious conspiracy, they rarely prosecuted crime, for his role in attempting to violently overturn the results of the election. according to an teichman, quote, roads and his guns's conspirators were stopping the transfer of power, including ways of force. according travel across the country to enter washington d.c.. equipments also the righty of weapons. don combat antarctic would be here or prepared to answer rhodes's call to take up arms at rhodes's direction. some coconspirators also amassed firearms about skirts of washington d.c.. disagreed them among a quick reaction force team and plan to use the firearm in support of a plot to stop the lawful transfer of presidential. power rose also told another oath keepers he could stored those weapons in his hotel room on january six. quote, if you want to steal operations, he'll have a secure car trunk or his hotel room. that's from government filings. the governor alleges rhodes himself spe

trump is for mooney. pro-trump forces. we are counting, 11% in. mckinley, a lead over mooney.pe cl close race. may say biis a big month. the governor side here, look at the candidates. by the end of the month, a good report card on trump versus the establishment. herbster has been with trump for years. he is accused by nine women of inappropriately touching them. he denies the allegations. trump doesn't believe it to be true. herbster suggests it comes from the republican establishment. jim pillen is endorsed by the incu incumbent. this is pillen versus herbster. it's trump versus the establishment republican governor. the interesting thing is there is a third candidate. a more moderate condition. we will have to watch this play out. the polls close at 9:00. west virginia and nebraska tonight. pennsylvania and georgia by the end of the month. donald trump's sway getting a test in this month's primaries. >> we will watch as the numbers come in. john king, thank you. >>> new audiotapes. a high profile republican in congress speaking away from the pu

what did donald trump tell him? did donald trump threaten him? we know that mccarthy is laser focused on becoming speaker and that's about it, and so is this about having trump support for speaker and that if he was to speak out he wouldn't have that support. it's about making sure, we know what happened that day and we can guarantee to the american people because we did an investigation we're not going to let something like this happen again and either you want to help or you want to hurt this investigation and it looks like kevin mccarthy and others want to hurt the investigations. >> stay with us if you're able to. i want to bring dan goldman and the others in. so the only response from these five republican, they're all men, congressmen, has been to call the probe itself illegitimate. the problem with that is it's a talking point, i suppose, but it's not a legitimate argument, if you will. and the investigation itself has been before countless judges now who have deemed it completely legitimate. where do they go other than a talking point obj

donald trump. when he endorsed me last june, he said ted, i'm endorsing you because you never waivered on america first policy. >> we have massive movement of people from the length and width of pennsylvania who don't always agree with us. many of them used to be democrats. >> president trump after he endorsed me continued to lean into this race in pennsylvania. god bless you sir for putting so much effort into this race. >> two election deniers but the big lie is winning even when there's some question about the effect. we have a long ways to go. we are just finishing may next week with georgia two races there. very personal to donald trump. then we have more primaries to come. the early pattern in nebraska, 30%. in idaho, 3232%. 32%. >> you can look at the house and republicans in congress. how so many republicans still earn for that endorsement. >> republicans i've talked to have always said there's 30% of the republican base that supports the former president. that's roou proven true today. tlp

trump versus pence. we'll also play more from elise jordan's eye-opening focus groups that she does with voters out of georgia. they're absolutely fascinating and give you a real sense of the state of play. >>> with us, we have president on the council of foreign relations, richard haass, who has golf reporting for us this morning. very excited. we'll give him another chance. don't know how -- don't screw it up. this is your last chance. >> thank you for the support. >> former aid to the george w. bush white house and state departments, elise jordan. analyst and the host of "way too early," jonathan lemire. white house bureau chief at "politico. and also host of "the circus," affairs analyst john heilemann. good to have you with us all this morning. >>> president biden today said the u.s. military will get involved militarily if china invades its island neighbor. this is how the president answered a reporter's question this morning at a joint news conference in tokyo, with japan's new prime minister. >>

high profile people like ivanka trump. other trump children as well. and so we'll see going forward what the hearings reveal as well, and how far they're going to be able to get in telling a complete story about what happened. >> that's why these coordinators are interesting. this strikes me as the committee saying once again, we know things. we know things the have not made public. we're going to have public hearings. this is your chance. we are going to lay this out in the public hearings. we would like your side. come tell us or at least you had your chance. >> yeah. and i'll be interested to hear what brooks has to say. especially after losing trump's endorsement, coming out publicly and saying that he had been pressured. he has signalled that he's open to talking to the panel if he was approached. so it will be interesting. the issue is will that political spat spill over into the committee's quest to tell this story? and will it undermine the credibility as they 150ek seek to make this as less politicized as they can? >> they're trying. more info

it can be continues to be trump. the former president is endorsed seven candidates now in georgia including challengers to governor kemp including candidate herschel walker for us senate and including a lot of challenges for down ticket races that most georgians really frankly aren't paying that much attention to right now and this trump-fueled dynamic continues to to impact the race trump even had a rally just a few days ago in the excerpts of northeast, georgia where he talked about voter staying home in november if brian kemp was the party's nominee and so that will continue to hamper republicans in georgia and potentially help democrats who can just kind of point across the party island and say hey, there's still fighting we're united. why do you think republicans were so aware or anxious about a blue wave coming in 2020 the gop has been incredibly successful for more than a decade in the state when it comes to some of the biggest races. you're right. i mean they control up until 2020 they control every statewide

hang on a minute — you're praising donald trump. surely you have to acknowledge right now that if donald trump were in the white house, america would be responding to this ukraine crisis in a very different way. donald trump is the guy who described nato as obsolete, the guy who persistently refused to indulge in personal criticism of vladimir putin, who described putin, xijinping and other authoritarians as guys that he could really do business with. if donald trump were in power, america would be responding very differently to this, wouldn't it? well, let me tell you something. we can have hypothetical thing, but when president trump was president, russia didn't attack ukraine. and that is a fact. russia did not go in, intervene. russia went to great efforts to get donald trump into the white house. they regarded him as their ally. we can have a lot of speculation, but putin didn't dare... well, you know, that is the truth. putin didn't dare to intervene in ukraine and we didn't have a war. so we also have peace. you know, in the

greg abbott was there before trump. sure, trump has some influence on it. what -- grassroot republican politics in texas are moving more to the right. can a bush succeed? george p. moved there. the most fascinating thing for me, however this goes tonight, what is thanksgiving dinner like in the bush family. donald trump savaged jeb bush, his son, george p. running in texas has given him a big hug. it would be interesting for people who studied these things, we had the kennedys, you know, we haven't -- the bushes on the republican side, do we have a cycle where there is no bush in office, no bush on the ballot, and what does that mean? one thing it means is the -- both parties are going through transformational changes now. and sometimes they take 10 or 15 years to go through them. the republican party is in the middle of one, not started by trump, but put on steroids by trump and we're watching it play out. can a bush -- what does a bush have to do to fit into that party? one of the tests. >> john, we need your magic wall-like analysis of something that hap
