it is the gop base. in my article, quote, you have almost 60% of republican who use january 6th as an act of, quote, defending freedom. january 6th, that terrorist attacked -- it was an act of, quote, patriotism. that should scare everyone. i never called the gop fascist. i thought they would jettison donald trump. he literally has an 80% favor ability rate right now. the republican base is telling you that violence is acceptable to gain and obtain political power. it could get much darker. we have to be aware. we need democrats and the media to be calling this out for what it is. it is un-american, it is dangerous. it is fascist. >> to play devils advocate for a second, i am not saying it is fascist, but there are violent threats throughout different elements of both parties. less so i would argue on the democrats. this is a man who showed up to brett kavanaugh's house with a gun on, he attempted to kill him. did the democratic party speak out sufficiently against that in your opinion? >> i think that t

missouri -- the gop sedition caucus. remember, in the lead up to the capitol insurrection, hawley openly and recently aligned himself with the most anti-democratic forces in maga wealth. even in personally calling on his supporters on one sixth itself, to, quote join him and president trump and challenging the election result. and to be clear, he might now say he was just objecting to the vote in pennsylvania, not trying to overturn of joe biden's win, but at the time, in the run up to january 6th, that is not what he was saying. >> to pin you down on we are trying to do, are you trying to say that as of january 20th, the president trump will be president? >> that depends on what happens on wednesday. >> it depends on what happens on wednesday? hawley didn't just talk the talk, he was the first gop senator to say out loud, he would formally object to the electoral vote certification on 16. he provides trump's unhinged elected lie with its first smear evan establishment, gravitas. note that hollies on mentor the men who e

that is an indication of where the gop is in arizona. and it doesn't matter how electorally damaging it is to the gop there. this devotion, i think, to like you said, it might not be the one man, it is trumpism, that is clearly what people are on the ground for. >> david, kari lake seems likely to persevere in this primary and so will be a general candidate, how is she going to fair in a general election. is this another example of a trump backed maga candidate who is going to face tough odds when it comes down to a general election? >> that is interesting. i don't think that democrats look at this race as, for example, the dga has not been pouring money in kari lake's campaign. one, because they don't need to. but it is not a case like maryland where the state is so democratic, that it made sense for the dga to put a lot of money behind the election conspiracy theorist who won there. that race may be instructive for what happens in the primary in arizona and in the end it turns out that the trumpist candidate just, you know, carried it

let's talk about the gop, okay? alice, listen, this is what the former vice president had to say when asked about the divide between him and his former boss. watch. >> so, i do not know that our movement is that divided. i do not know that the president and i differ on issues. but we may differ on focus. i truly do believe that elections are about the future. and it is absolutely essential at a time when so many americans are hurting, so many families are struggling, that we do not give way to the temptation to look back. >> okay, alice, is he saying, except for that part where you stick that mob on me, i am still maga with you. is this not being critical? >> look, he is one hunted percent correct in terms of the republican party, conservative, are united on policy and the policies that unite us. the separation and division is how we are going to use that moving forward, and who is going to carry us forward with that. and pence made it quite clear that they agree on policy, but not on focus. look, you cannot find tw

six awful gop candidates i could save the senate. top republicans fought confidence about winning the senate in the midterm. fearing they will blow it after nominating candidates and flawed states. what are your expectations. is there overconfidence among republicans? >> there is an election. we have to work hard. we can potentially pick up six seats. great candidates all across the country. the biden agenda is horrible. we have to raise our money. text when 25504. we have great candidates. we will have a great year. it's nice for the democrats to talk about our candidates. is this a warning? they have all lied about their position. they are all moderates and then they vote with chuck schumer 100% of the time. they have to go home, there to explain why they vote with chuck schumer and why they vote to cause gas prices to go up. why they vote for more spending. that's what they do. we will have a great year. >> you mentioned fundraising. senate gop money flop. that was their headline. key races from arizona to new hampshire. gop voter

the gop has failed to back away from trump, perhaps it is because there's a large segment of the gop, if not all of it, that actually quite agree with him. that this is really who the gop is. i mean, we have to remember that monica was not a trump original, right? that this idea was started long before him, and it was popularized by a president named ronald reagan. and he also ignored a pandemic. he was violently xenophobic, and he to pursue policies that benefited wealthy, heterosexual, christian, white men. so, this in a lot of ways, is just the identity of the party. and frankly, if i am mitch mcconnell, i'm not really concerned with the decorum of somebody like trump. if he helped give me the supreme court of the gop's dreams for the last 50 years, the supreme court that has overturned roe, the supreme court that has gotten rid of bodily autonomy, the right to privacy, tribal sovereignty, epa regulations, voting rights, all in a mississippi mix, frankly, in a lot of ways, this is a lot like that spider-man mean, trump and the gop over the exact same costume, looking at each other,

the gop is putting up a lot of these fringe candidates. >> the fringe candidates the gop has in the senate races is definitely a democrat advantage. no question. and i think that there is a very good chance of democrats hold the senate. that being said, when it comes to the house, there's only a five vote majority in the democrats right now. and when it is a midterm election, it is a referendum on the current president. for the republicans not to pick up six seats is a very unlikely. but anything can happen. we've seen the economy starting to turn around a little bit, gas prices. and maybe inflation comes down. i wouldn't bet against history on it. >> don susan said at the front candidates actually helps democrats. we've kind of seen an interesting strategy where some democratic groups of actually buying ads to boost some of these pro trump in right-wing candidates. what do you think of that strategy? >> it's not a new thing and i don't think it's a terribly bad thing. assuming that the democrats have enough money to fund their races and their primary candidates for the general election, i

gop incumbents are haunted by their records. and democrats are deflecting republican attacks and energized by policy. and quote. rachel, how powerful could these outlined bright spots amid a lot of pessimism before democrats especially with some of these gop senate candidates like doctor oz or herschel walker who are currently underperforming in their states? >> so historically in american politics, the economy is been a major predictor. but over the last 15 years, especially the last ten. need silver they've had to start discounting the weight of economic indicators instead increasing the influence of things like hyper partisanship and polarization. i mention that because when we talk about losing power and the economic narrative, it is true that the democrats are in power. but we're talking about a midterm cycle, not four years of joe biden. so it's really possible for them to freeze and to frame the campaign on yes you might be in the mood for change for remember with that change looks like. and then disqualify it. >> quickly

no, not the gop in 2022. instead, she tweeted and i quote, it never ceases -- -- harm and grandchildren. absolutely ridiculous! i mean, it's on tape. she said she would shoot her grandkids, no one's misquoting her. she should've corrected herself. it's a broader problem here. this is a republican that doesn't give a damn about reality. >> they've moved to post true. they never have to correct themselves because there's not truth. they don't care, they'll just say -- i wasn't saying that, i was seeing something else. even though you can hear on the tape which he saying. it's this strange sort of post-truth world, but it fits. remember, with these gun issue, they will blame the shootings on anything but guns, right? don't blame it on mental illness. they have no interest in mountainous. they'll blame it on video games. anything they can. i think that, ultimately, it's just because they're in this post-truth world, where nothing is real and they never have accountability, so they never have to correct the record

we have an election denying candidate getting the gop. a blue state, probably won't win but democrats helped pay for his campaign to get him to win the election and not primary challengers. do you think the press in maryland and more broadly is explaining clearly enough? did voters know who they were picking for example? >> well, what is complicated, i think, about this is some of the kind of journalism we've been socialized to as david said, one hand, other hand, let be fair and not call it out. i think personally, brian, that we are so far beyond that with what is happened in the last four or five years in this country with the -- it's not a creep, it's a rush to authoritarian on the right and it's not just in the political world. the right has media that's pushing them along this line. remember, tucker carlson goes to hungary and worships at the alter and says look how orderly and clean this country is. look at the chaos joe biden has in america and the madness. that kind of -- so when you have the media and a media with 3 million peop

they shrunk it i because we've made so much progress insidece the gop. we're now seeing a wholeee new generationin of exciting new candidates across america like mira flores and jd vance right now 5% the east coast of so many pages. >> we are sick in some of the left destroying this country and i'm sick of the writers in washington, dc who refuse to fight back against it. >> now, the gop old guard who claims so desperately that they wanted to bring minorities into politics arere suddenly flummoxed. these weren't the typeen of candidates they were hoping for in many of the candidates that are rising now. ha into politics because of trump. now, by contrast,mp you have toe consider the problems on the left, the squad and their supporters claim that they were going to fight for the working people. they can standfi to big business and oppose foolish wars, but they didn't keep those t promises, did they ? >> so, instead, instead of working with us to build a society that would be fairer , ramore prosperous the average person, the american left has allied thems

look at with the gop has become, other than say this is with the gop always was, but people like tim miller just did not see it when he was within it. what would you say to that? >> really quick, i think both. i think there's always a subset of this within the republican party going way back in the 60s, probably before. what has happened in the last 20 years is that the crazy, the nationalists, the conspiracy theorists, have brought relatively normal people along with them. slowly but surely, and finally donald trump supercharge is it in 2016. we've all should've seen this coming in palin, but i think we also can't argue with the fact that john mccain when a competitive primary in 2018 on the pro climate change platform. i think this was existing within the party. but would happened is that normal people allowed the crazy people to pull them to the, right and now the crazy people, the mob owns the party. >> they do indeed. the book is called why we did it, tim miller, thank you for writing it and thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks. >> coming up, how did it come to be that no

he goes to the texas gop convention, where he's booed and shouted down. you have a texas gop convention that talks about succession, that calls biden an illegitimate president. this isn't a marginal group of people. this is the state convention of the gop in the largest republican state in the country. so these things are not fringe anymore in the gop even if they're quite fringe in the general public. here's the problem. we are so heavily gerrymandered right now in this country that you can be quite extreme and that's the more rational political position for you. you know, here in tennessee there are state representatives that everyone knows bear no resemblance in their underlying philosophy to marjorie taylor green, but are acting like her because they know they will be primaried if they don't. all of the short-term incentives are pushing more toward radicalism and the exhausted majority better wake up quickly and assert itself or we're going to hand american politics to the extremes. >> he makes the contention that trump might be legally drowning, may

he's now the gop nominee to run elections there. march launched in america first secretary of state candidates coalition to install people like him across the country. people like christina crumble, another 2020 election desire -- denier when -- karamo has called and son-elect dissed minion of george soros. -- had set some truly, truly strange things. these are just election deniers running in big battleground states, but in red states like indiana, the republican nominee is almost guaranteed to win in november. indiana is where big lie candidate diego morale is unseated the incumbent republican -- morale of said he would quote, help take back the presidency in 24. even though morales was fired for poor performance in election he now wants to run. according to the associated press. he was fired because of, quote, office politics. you know the metaphor about foxes in the house? is it. these are candidates deeply committed to the lie that trump won and could potentially pave the way for another trump term. now they're laying the groun

gop extremism. problematic senate candidates like herschel walker out of georgia. and the lingering presence of donald trump. professor, do you agree that the current state of the gop could costs them this fall? or will we see some similar exceptions that we saw in 1998 and 2002? >> i am not going to make an absolute prediction. here but the republicans do seem to be quite determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. as you say, midterms are toxic for the party holding the white house. because it gives their opponents a chance to register their discontent. and we are buried by inflation. joe biden's numbers are extremely low. but republicans have not taken advantage of it. they have no plans of their own to solve any of the nation's problems. they are going to the far-right extreme. as you, say particularly in the senate they have terrible candidates like doctor oz in pennsylvania, j.d. vance in ohio. herschel walker in georgia. and i do think voters are waking up to this one critically important truth. you can vote democratic, and you might still have inf

and what it would mean to have the gop in control of congress as they want to make it about how biden is doing. that is hard to do. midterms are usually about the president and some kind of response to the president's record. but that is what you will see in coming months. >> and abortion will likely be a big talking point for democrats heading into the midterms. on the republican side, senate candidate in pennsylvania dr. oz, he residentially said that the maga movement is dying. and then you also have the popular podcaster joe rogan, he is also blasting the former president. what do you think, do you think that the magment a m maga movemy dying here or is there perhaps a new leader of it? >> i think it is the latter. i think what is referred to as maga is what the republican party generally is in 2022, so the question in the gop is does the former president still carry that banner, is he still the leader of the new party, or does someone else do it differently, maybe more effectively politically. but i don't think that the party that has been around in the last couple years that has

compared to roughly 6 million for his gop rival. and on, both democrats and republicans have told us they believe this race really could go either way. and that's very clear from how the parties are spending in georgia. we are still four months away from this election, there's already been nearly $60 million going into ads in the state. don? >> jeez. kristen, thank you very much i appreciate that. joining me now cnn analyst ron me brownstein. ronnie, that's a lot of dough right. >> that's a lot of money. >> let's put up that poll again because 49% of georgia's approve the job warnock is doing, he's pulling in the money, more money than walker. recent polling shows that he's up ten points. there it is. >> that's probably too high. >> you think? so >> there's a new poll out today, arp is doing polling in battleground states done by the pollsters in 2020 for donald trump and joe biden so it's credible, fabrizio on one side as alone on the other, they had warnock up three today. but most importantly, they had warnock up three at a time

michael, how do you think today's gop will answer that important question? >> sadly, today's gop largely tuned out. i mean, we were watching, paying attention. it was carried on the three broadcast networks. it was carried of course here on cnn and msnbc but not a sentence of it was carried live on the outlet of choice for much of the gop. so to them it's like a non-event. i think it's been a compelling case. it just reinforced that which i had been led to believe based on following it closely, but we have a problem in this country in that many aren't paying attention. >> let me also ask you while i have you, michael, about this very disturbing incident yesterday in new york. con con congressman lee zeldin running for governor, thwarted an assault. this suspect tried to stab zeldin. we're waiting on details of a possible motive. how high is the risk of violence right now for politicians? >> escalating i would say, and let me tell you what doesn't rein in violence in my view. what doesn't rein in violence is to have a videotape of someone attacking a public s

a gop wipeout is not a sure thing this november. that's bringing david, chairman, republican training and organization. david it is good to have you one. the democrats push through this reduction inflation act. what do you think. >> sunday manchin i watch my entire career as a native west virginia and at the state senate at the same time he was a state senator. senator manchin made it a lot harder for democrats to wind the midterm election because as voters learn more about the tax increases they learn about the energy sources that they depend on their to be harder to get. there get to get it out on the president and keep in mind in wave elections is less about who the nominees are albeit that is a factor, it's how bad voters want to punish the president in office based on his policies and every indication voters are ready to sweep them out and republicans won't win one or two competitive races we will win 45 senate races that democrats currently hold. jon: the president right now is not pulling particularly well. we mentioned earli

argument for your party to be much more aggressive about donald trump and about gop extremism? but you haven't been. >> i hope comes out of the january 6th -- -- donald trump there is no responsibility for january six, i wish she would watch some of the january 6th hearings because he knows that's completely untrue. i do think the party is very extreme. you see it with mitch mcconnell saying that -- her seat in the wake of the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. you see it in their inability to even vote to cut drug prices for seniors in this country, which is why we're doing right now. you see their inability to support provisions that are incredibly -- of climate change. i think, above all, you see a world where they want to double down on an economy that is where it's only for the people at the very top and not for everybody else. i think every single democrat could agree with the last thing i said -- absolutely. am i our age that the democratic party didn't fight hard enough to -- have the child tax credit? absolutely. >> no easy time shoe with these races. that's what w

the texas gop has gone too far. so, we are fighting back. >> you know, you talked about sort of this group that you are trying to mass, as we said, some gaps that need to be filled. the group is also somewhat rare in the country, and in texas. it is bipartisan democrats, independents, moderate republicans. how are you working to broaden that coalition of texas voters, to counter the republican party's agenda? >> well, a couple of things. i just spoke at the texas democratic convention, and listen, we have to invite everybody to the table. we have to be friendly enough, and just start talking to each other again. so, one of the first things that we need to do is just talk to one another, invite people to table, having conversations as communities, because with the texas gop has have done but the last years, taking our communities and putting us on lock says, so we're all against one another. so it's not working for anyone. we all need to work together for a better community, for better neighborhoods, for better studi

charlie, it seems to be a confusing time for the gop. on the one hand the former president continues to show tremendous influence like in these primary races that doug is talking about, and you listen to the silence from leadership just in the past week from the january 6th testimony. but then you see both "new york post" and "wall street journal," both rupert murdoch publications, which strongly criticize trump. is there a sea change happening in your view? >> fred, my view has been that donald trump is a diminishing figure within the electorate. that said, he's still a dangerous one, just like doug indicated. he still has an enormous influence on this primary situation. he just invaded the primary in maryland, nominating cox who has just given a seat away in maryland. it's a tough row to hoe in maryland to begin with for republicans. in arizona, nominating the most radical republican candidate. on and on it goes. "the wall street journal" and "the new york post" coming out and condemning the former president, that helps create a strong

understand the nightmares scenario of gop court packing is already upon us. that's how they got this far right -- three majority in the first place. following the death of incidents glia, mitch mcconnell and republican allies in the senate left open merrick garland seat for 14 months. then they went back on their nonexistent rule they invented for cynical purposes to rush through the confirmation of amy coney barrett as a presidential election already underway and millions of votes already counted. the republican party will do whatever it takes, whatever it takes to hold onto power and imposes unpopular views and policies on the american people, including the unaccountable institution over there and just thomas showed us the far right majority is not done. it's now coming for marriage equality, contraception, same-sex intimacy, expanding the court will protect us from future that decisions. that's like the vast majority of democrats and majority of americans agree. democrats in congress should have no faith anything less than the supreme court is going to sol

members that were subpoenaed and this includes gop leader kevin mccarthy. that includes contempt referrals and committee members need to come to a consensus. they're not quite there yet. he said they're meeting every few days and so through those meetings, he kept emphasizing we're not closed for business. we have a lot of work to do and that is one in terms of the gop members, among many issues that they're going to be taking up in the coming weeks and trying to make these difficult decisions on what are the next steps if you have these republican members who have been subpoenaed and they rr cooperating and we've seen cases where there are contempt referrals as we saw with steve bannon who was prosecuted and convicted for that, so that's going to be a really big question before the committee among many others that they need to consider in the coming weeks this month coming up in august. >> katty, final question to you, bringing in donald trump or mike pence would be an incredibly charged political moment for the country to see them before the committee? wh

john thune, a member of gop leadership, says he thinks will will be other attractive candidates aside from trump echoing comments from mitch mcconnell. dan crenshaw says he hopes it's competitive and there's a lot of people to choose from. he said he does not think that trump will be the automatic front-runner just because he jumps into the race. and then the republican study committee, a large conservative caucus here on capitol hill, hosted mike pence for a meeting last week where they encouraged him to run in 2024 and thanked him for his actions on january 6th. now, if trump does run and becomes the nominee, most republicans are going to fall in line. but what we are seeing is that there is a proxy battle that is starting to really heat up for 2024. particularly among mike pence and donald trump. both gop leaders spoke at competing rallies in arizona last week for their preferred candidates in the governor's race. and this week both of them will be delivering separate speeches at various think tanks. my colleague, mike warren, actually got his hands on a preview of mike pence's rem

who leads the gop right now? if you look at it. >> unquestionably donald trump. >> harris: not anybody in office. >> no, absolutely not. absolutely not. partly because donald trump has so completely changed the agenda of the republican party. turned it into a working class party. but here is the other thing that i think is really interesting. president trump has been silenced by the media for two years now. what i think a lot of people who have tried to silence him have failed to grasp is his supporters have been silenced as well. those people have failed to register that enthusiasm is still out there and there are a lot of people hand wringing who want trump hand wringing about him and for legitimate reasons but left out of this is the incredible enthuse as the particular support still out there for him. >> harris: you hit the nail on the head with voters from all stripes. nobody feels heard from this white house. they have yet to say the words i hear your pain and never needed more than they are needed this wee

>> i think that is an important question because the gop, we have to stop separating the gop from right wing extremists. i mean, the party has more -- than one. soviet millions of voters showing up validating the big lie, and reelecting people who will continue to support trumpism, that will certainly be a problem. tasha, i want to take a listen. my amazing colleague jermaine lee, he was found in our collective neck of the woods. we, aaron, and it natasha all atlanta. folks remain was on warehouses campus talking young black men down there. and he asked them what issues mattered to them, take a listen to one person that he talked to in alaska better on the other side. >> what issues matter most to you, let's start with you. >> for, me i definitely think about immigration and housing insecurity, especially when you look at a city like atlanta that has so many homeless people until many people moving into the city but there is not enough affordable homes. >> i agree, wholeheartedly. for me, the biggest thing that is on my mind is roe v. wade and how it has been recently overturned and how

i really see the gop as an extremist entity now. so it's not just that oath keepers or proud boys can become the militia wing, or the paramilitary wing of the party. the party itself is morphing into an extremist force. going forward, that's what i'm really worried about. >> do you agree with jason? >> i think we're seeing it in idaho, the pacific northwest. more and more candidates are running, that have close ties, or outright encouraged to run. we have seen people like matt shea and others, who really have a world view that i don't want to live in. >> so what's the fix? >> the fix is us. like we have to have these conversations, we have to be talking about this. we have to stop, mincing words, we have all had these conversations on our couches with our families. about how crazy things have gotten. we have to figure it out. we can't stop, -- >> you say we have to stop mincing words. that means at home, also members about the news media. because people want to believe that the gop is not as bad as you guys are saying. that it is. i

tuesday's big primaries are a test of the influence over the gop. will they fight off maga challengers? >> if the i don't know in office is to stay in office you should find another job. >> "inside politics," the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. >> welcome "inside politics supd." i i'm manu raju in for abby phillips. joe manchin is supporting the plan to fight the climate crisis and fight prescription drug costs. it was a deal 18 months in the working. >> the work of the government can be slow and sometimes infuriating. then the hard work of hours and days and months from people who refused to give up pays off. history is made. lives are changed. with this legislation, we are facing up to some of the biggest problems and we are taking a giant step forward as a nation. >> but as democrats were celebrating new data shows the american economy shrank for a second straight quarter. >> two negative quarters of gdp growth is not the technical definition of a recession. >> you do not see the major contraction or layoffs that have been cons

senate republicans are the ones most insulated from the gop base. they only had to deal with republican base voters every six years. they are also a group of washington republicans that are most supportive of the u.s. back of ukraine and its war of russia. if you look at astrologists, it is a much more mixed bag. you have a lot of house republicans that support and continue funding for ukraine, but a lot of others, who very much don't, and that is increasingly the case in the house republican congress. then if you take one big step even closer to republican primary holders and look at candidates right now, who are running in the republican primaries, that's the group of republicans that is the supported of the u.s. backing of ukraine. i have not done this project with that many other topics, but i would guess that it holds out similarly, particularly in the case of cruz and holly, both who are very much invested in maintaining the support that the republican party's base has in them, even if it means taking in positions on policy issues like that th

the gop is nominating more extremist candidates, and they are getting a huge boost. just not from who you think. democrats are helping fun far-right candidates, hoping that those candidates will win the primaries the thinking here is that moderate voters will be turned off, right? that would give democrats a better opportunity to win general elections. take a look at this. i reported this last night, dan cox, an outright election denier, who won his primary in maryland for republican governor last night, also trump endorsed there's also darren bailey, another gop election denier, and doug mastriano, running for pennsylvania governor let's discuss now ron brownstein and doug high, both here i am so happy that you are both here let's see what this june team is like doug, let's start with you, i found it interesting that you said democrats were playing with matches how big a risk is this, if it indeed backfires? >> it's a very big risk. let me say, full disclosure, carrie schultz, the candidate that lost a maryland, he is a friend. the nominee in pennsylvania was also a

and the latino community moves in droves towards the gop. coming up, newly-elected texas congresswoman mayra flores on the democrats' opinion of hispanics as viewed through nancy pelosi's shove of a child and jill biden's taco talk. plus, it is one of the most important races in the senate this november, arizona senate candidate blake masters on the wide open border, president trump's endorsement and big tech surveillance of america. then, iran, afghanistan, china and beyond, the foreign policy mistakes piling up as the world watches weak u.s. leadership. the impact on american families coming up. florida congressman and green beret combat veteran michael waltz on the state of the u.s. military today. all of that right here, right now on "sunday morning futures." ♪ ♪ maria: and first this morning, empty handed and questioned. president biden returning from his middle east tip with no promises from saudi arabia to boost oil production to send gasoline prices lower in america. if instead, the president has more gaffes and awkward moments o

the most recent example of this trend is the fact that the gop nominee for senate in pennsylvania is now officially none other than dr. oz i mean, how can you be the best man for the job when you're not even the best oprah doctor spin-off [ laughter ] i'm -- i'm not saying dr. phil would be a good senator, but at least he'd have a plan if your team started dressing too sexy i never thought dr. oz would be a nominee for anything other than "the new england journal of medicine's" annual "craziest doctor alive" issue. [ laughter ] this guy is a notorious scam artist, according to many of his colleagues and peers when four out of five doctors agree, he's the other doctor [ laughter ] and just like almost every other successful republican politician in the country, oz has learned that in order to thrive in today's gop and court the republican base, you have to embrace election denialism by implying there was widespread fraud in 2020, when we all know that there was not >> the reality for me is 2020, under the cover of covid, was an example of how you should not run an election. here in pe

biden and democrats in congress is the dominant issue in november, the gop should regain control of the house and senate. to put it more starkly. less than 4 months before election day it would take surprising events or political mal practice for the gop to lose. enter mr. trump who may announce his presidential candidacy before the midterms which we can't recall a major candidate doing that. that would thrill democrats who are eager to change the subject from inflation and the biden record, if the main issue in november is gop fealty to mr. trump's claims that the election was stolen, democrats may have a chance to hold congress. which brings us back to "the new york times" poll. for all of the bad news for mr. bider, he still beats mr. trump 44% to 41% in a theoretical 2024 presidential rematch. what does it say that joe biden, the least popular president in modern times, still beats donald trump. and joe, that was the issue that you were pointing to yesterday and today with how bad can you be if your poll numbers are bad, but if you're the potential republican nominee again, and your

gary gensler rarely registers anything the gop says when it is in the minority but the gop gets in the majority this will get interesting because they will have hearings with gary gensler on his whole agenda including what he's doing to crackdown on us information by chinese firms but also look for google and apple to come under pressure because these apps are automatically allowed into the apps stores. sometimes like tiktok you get it automatically and the other ones you can download obviously so they may go to the source and get apple and google to not allow these companies on their platform so if and when the gop gets the majority in the house and maybe the senate this will be a huge issue in this is just the dry run. by the way great interview with him, i did enjoy it. >> just because you change parties doesn't mean your annulus stocked. charles: the gop is not friends of big tech anymore. they wasted that on them, becoming so woke and canceling conservatives, that train is done, whatever clichÉ that is. neil: good thing you were never woke. >> some ask my political affiliation, i

it is about elise stefanik and it shows clearly where the gop wants to be. some of -- someone who worked with george w. bush, someone who worked in the george of you wish administration. i have to get my mouth to work. but she made the switch. two proud micro republican. and she is not looking back. she is the future of the gop, not kinzinger or cheney. >> she is in the short term, there's no question about it. i mean, she is number three republican. she replaced liz as the number three republican. she is on the shortlist, i imagine, for trump vp. that is a tragedy of the republican party but she embodies it. john kennedy said there's a reason profile in courage is a slim volume. they're just not that many people willing to stand up with courage. if there is a cost to standing up with courage. i don't know what's liz's doing or what adam is doing is going to win in the short, medium or long term. i do know this -- in the end, all we can be is faithful to what we believe is right and truly good. you cannot make your actions conditioned on success. you can onl

why did the gop decide not to do this? >> it's one of the more compelling parts of your book, and congratulations on that, man, it's a great >>> essentially, what you saw, was a crystallized moment when the party could have said, we are done. they literally said that on the senate floor and the house floor. we are done. two weeks later, kevin mccarthy goes down to mar-a-lago. his personal ambitions mattered more than what was happening to the country. it is very compelling. it is compelling about how as much as a party was let go at a critical moment like january 6, and end, they serve at the altar of politics and personal ambition. it could be its undoing. the country, and moment like that, is looking for a leader to emerge and take the country away from pain, not lean into it. the party blinked. they had the moment right in front of them. for whatever reason, kevin mccarthy turn the narrative around. all of the pieces fell back into place. >> what we see now is trump is by far the biggest voice in the republican party. h
