barack obama's memoir sold over 3 million copies in the first month. christie is not looking at obama numbers or looking at a million or half a million or 100,000. the results are in and this book moved about some saying it's kin to not publishing a book at all. it looks like the publisher won't even break even. the book is a money loser and has some in the party thinking christie or mr. 2 k looks like a loser of a potential candidate. his media tour featured him meanwhile trying to claim independence but also defending maga figures like trump and tucker carlson. >> the book is called it's about conspiracies and lies and you really don't take on fox news. why not? >> look, because the book -- >> tucker carlson -- >> because the book -- i don't watch it. >> are you aware of what he does? >> not really. i don't pay a lot of attention to it. >> christie says he doesn't pay a lot of attention to fox news. well, the news tonight is republicans and most americans are paying zero attention to chris christie. we'll be right back with one more thing. we'll be r

joe biden used to tell barack obama all of the time in 2009 and 2010. it is the difference between compared to the almighty and the alternative. so those were words from vice president biden and i think you'll make that turn. obviously there is a lot of government business that has to get done in the next four, six, eight weeks, once you get into the state of union particularly, you're going to see a sharper, more contrasting president biden. >> we'll be watching. robert, heidi, jake and ali, thank you so much. we're going to leave it there. any minute now, market sets to open after having their worst day since last october. what you need to know as wall street reacts to this new covid variant. their only friend? the open road. i have friends. [ chuckles ] well, he may have friends, but he rides alone. that's jeremy, right there! we're literally riding together. he gets touchy when you talk about his lack of friends. can you help me out here? no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. well, we're new frie

. >> why are you so convinced he's not going to run when it seems as if one could argue barack obama, humiliating him at that white house correspondents dinner in 2011 motivated him to run. i know you think humiliation is the reason he may not want to run and lose again, but we've seen him use that as a motivator before. >> yeah. so this should become a documentary, and it should be called "the greatest grift in u.s. history." donald trump has made it very clear that he is grifting off of the american people, these supporters, these individuals that are just sending money to him at record levels. so one of the biggest problems for donald trump is that he makes a statement, right, that i'm thinking about it, i'm thinking about it. that's only to keep the grift growing and to keep the grift going. it's really amazing that people don't see exactly what the guy is doing. i talk about his sociopathy. i talk about this on my podcast mea culpa ad nauseam. please understand, chuck, and this is really important for all of my viewers as well. one of the things that donald trump has done is grif

obama's desk as i could. that's what we are going do with the build back better when we send it after it comes back from the senate to joe biden's desk. whether it is closing the gap, paid leave, funding home health care -- florida has the highest percentage of elderly in the country. making sure people can remain in their homes, in the place they are most comfortable, cared for by loved ones, that's out of reach for most elderly. making sure that provision remains in the bill, which i am confident it will, is essential and republicans again are going to do absolutely nothing to help us. >> can i just get, while i have you, your comments in reaction to lauren boneert's islamophobic comments to ilhan omar, the fallout from all of that, and what needs to happen in order to hold her accountable? >> lauren boneert is an absolutely revolting human being. i just cannot believe that those words could come out of her mouth. but that's actually what's sitting in her heart. you know, apparently, she made up the whole s

but it was a big enough deal that it is something the newly-elected president, barack obama, reflected on publicly when he trotted out on inauguration night, on that big night, to what was then called the youth ball, to share how he knew that and what it meant for the future. so on this journey tonight, thinking about this set of generations and the youth, he gets the last word. >> young people everywhere are in the process of imagining something different than what has come before. [ cheers and applause ] where they imagine bigotry, they imagine togetherness. where there is disease, they imagine a public health system. i can't tell you how many people have come up to michelle and myself and said, you know, i was kind of skeptical, but then my daughter, she wouldn't budge. she just told me, i needed to vote for obama. and so a new generation inspired previous generations. and that's how change happens in america. [ cheers and applause ] >>> coming up next we are joined by a global music sensation. his name is lil baby. his music is popular among all generations around the world. he's a

barack obama was elected twice. while barack obama was in office, democrats lost, i believe, 1,000 legislative seats nationwide. the consequences of that for the party have been devastating. so if you're sitting out there and you want to get engaged, you want to make a difference, don't just look to congress. this is whether you're a republican or democrat, whoever you are. look to the state legislatures. by the way, the state legislatures, this is so important, we're talking about the big lie. we're talking about january 6th. do you know why that festered? because we were still counting wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia weeks later. now, leading up to the election, we said on this show time and again, and others said, those legislatures, in order to stop any questions about the legitimacy of the election, should do what the state of florida does. yes, ron desantis, governor of the state of florida, and past governors have done, and that is count all of the early votes before the polls close on election

obama got elected it felt like a historic moment because it. was i am a little, bit i'm gonna take a step back for politics. this feels different, why? and what do you see as the antidote. >> i think it feels different because it is not the people who are stepping back out of the sense of relief, right? i think the people who are pulling back to progressives are really very engaged. but i think plenty of people find this so poisonous that in order to preserve their own sanity the sort of have to take a step. back the total political involvement that was the aim of getting trump out of office. got people threw themselves into for four years isn't sustainable. and so i think in order for people to get involved once again, there needs to be people in the party who say that, if you fight for this, democracy can be saved. and in order to do that you need to have some sort of path to voting reform legislation. you need to have some sort of path for democracy legislation. >> yes i think that's very well said. i'll be here, and i denied out, bad feelin

if you think about positive male figures, you know, i think barack obama is a great male role model. he's a responsible husband, responsible father. he studied hard. he works hard. he plays sports. he's athletic. he does all those things. they would never bring him up. there are other great examples in popular culture of positive nontoxic males. chadwick boseman's "black panther" character. those are movies that made millions of dollars. our society is not in shortage of nontoxic male figures. that's not what josh hawley is putting forward. they're putting forward donald trump who stands for everything they claim they don't stand for. >> right. i'm running out of time. liz, the idea that masculinity not unlike the best version of americanism is something that would be forged together, it's something that you explore in your book. what do you mean by mindful masculinity? >> it's important to have compassion in this conversation. there are a lot of men who are suffering in this country, but our inability to see men as vulnerability clouds us. i'll leave you with one data point. we're s

president barack obama, appointed general powell, to the federal reserve in 20 2011. and in 2017, donald trump appointed him to be the chair of the federal reserve. president biden announced that he will anomaly him to serve a second for your term as chair as the federal reserve. >> someone no doubt questioned why i'm renominating jay. when he was a choice of a republican president. i'm not picking a democrat. why i'm not picking fresh blood? or taking a fed in the different direction. directly, at this moment both of the enormous potential an enormous uncertainty for a comedy. we need stability, and independents at the federal reserve. >> if these three democratic senators, including elizabeth warren, announced they will vote against the paul nomination. but that is unlikely to change the outcome in the senate and the majority of democrats, and almost every republican senator voted to come from paul four years ago. when the senate vote was 84, to 13. today he became president biden's fuel general in the fight between inflation. >> we know that high inflation takes a

president barack obama appointed jerome powell to the federal reserve board of governors in 2011, and in 2017, donald trump appointed jerome powell to be the chair of the federal reserve. president biden announced that he will renominate jerome powell to serve a second four-year term as chair of the federal reserve. >> some will no doubt question why i'm renominating joy when he was choice of a republican predecessor. why am i not picking a democrat? why am i not picking fresh blood or taking the fed in a different direction? put directly, at this moment both of both enormous potential and enormous uncertainty for our economy, we need stability and independence at the federal reserve. >> at least three democratic senators, including elizabeth warren have announce they'd will vote against the powell nomination, but that is unlikely to change the outcome in the senate since a majority of democrats and almost every republican senator voted to confirm powell four years ago when the senate vote was 84-13. today jerome powell became president biden's field general in the fight against infla

>> i remember after the affordable care act passed that barack obama owed nancy pelosi flowers for the rest of her life, and i think joe biden joins that now with pelosi's ability to get the votes. this was a really tough passage. we saw all of the division within house democrats, those who didn't want to vote on this until the build back better was actually linked and didn't want to vote on the early infrastructure, the hard infrastructure bill until this bill was going to pass as well. there was a lot of dissent amongst progressives in her caucus. she had to deal with moderates in her caucus at various stages. it was not a pretty process, but she got it, and she got both the hard infrastructure bill voted on and she got the soft infrastructure bill voted on. and we've always said no one can count votes like nancy pelosi, and even when it was looking rough for her, democrats in the white house and on capitol hill were reminding us when she gets these votes through, people won't remember what it looked like getting these votes through. they'll just remember that they passed. now of cou

at the same time, we often hear president biden talk about how barack obama chose him to be the front man on the recovery act years ago and how pivotal it was. he didn't choose the vice president do that for infrastructure. pete buttigieg is part of that. mitch landrieu has been brought in, others. he did give her volatile topics like immigration and voting rights, which right now don't have the votes to move in legislative ways. so those are all magnets for more criticism from the right. so she has a portfolio that makes her perhaps drag in more criticism, and she's trying to not outshine the president, and at the same time she is struggling with that noise. they say she's going to focus on working, she's going to focus on a good relationship with president biden. could he do more to help her? perhaps he could. >> david, you seemed to imply earlier when we were talking off camera, you think it's harder to be a candidate of color today running for office than ten years ago. >> absolutely, chuck, for the reasons we're talking about right now. look at the statements released from the wh

barack obama was a black man who didn't let them get away with it. reasons are talking about, hey, republicans are talking about protecting our kids against crt, they're against mask mandates and gunman dates and perfectly fine with school massacres. by the way, do you want to live in america where just yesterday at an airport in atlanta a gun went off and people thought it was a terrorist attack? all of my friends across the world, just like you, i'm sure, alicia, they ask why is america so obsessed with guns. what happens in this country on a weekly basis is not normal, it's abnormal. it is literally a sin and nobody understands why this country allows its children to be killed, why this country allows men and women to carry ar-15s, weapons of mass destruction calmly and openly to a rally where cops look at you, but if you have the right complexion, you can carry it. can you imagine if black and brown folks with guns did the same thing as kyle rittenhouse? i have an active imagination but all i see are chalk lines where people have been killed. if

we will win, though, with the barack obama script that barack obama strategy of addition rather than subtraction, which leads me to my second point which is that after losses with the democratic party does too often is says well, we have to choose between base mobilization and persuasion. any party that forces themselves to choose between the two is guaranteed to lose. we have got to center our message and our strategies around that, which is bold and unifying and we have got to take our messaging as well as most importantly, our policies to the majority of the american people, not just our base. >> debbie, so messaging is important. i think max rose's point is well taken about simplicity in terminology that republicans use versus terminology that democrats use and that can be fixed but underlying that, what about message? because this conversation between base and a broader audience is one that is active within the democratic party now. what should it represent itself as being in the next election in order to prevail? >> i don't think that there is any doubt, ali, that we the democr

it is same america that elected barack obama twice, you have donald trump right after that. how do we process all of this? >> yes, this is a question i all-important get from students, i try to remind them that i think we are part of a very long story. and so this story of bright spots followed by darkness, or bright spots together with darkness, are part of our long history, in addition to the things he talked about in politics we can think about slavery in reconstruction. so these things tend to go together, but i think it's important for us to do use those bright spots, to take them and find joy in them as we continue the work. it's important that we don't get bogged down and start to celebrate the price phosphine they happen, because it's necessary to hold on to that kind of thing, when we need to continue to work and we do those work from residents ration and the turnout, when we're fighting against redistricting we were just hurting about. and battle in against covid, we can do those things with a smile on our faces we remember the good times. >> i just want to end on

obama twice, you had donald trump right after that. how do we process all of this? >> yeah, this is a question i often get from students and try to remind them that i think we are part of a very long story and so this story of bright spots followed by darkness or bright spots together with darkness are a part of our long history in addition to the things you talked about in politics we could think about slavery and reconstruction and so these things tend to go together but i think it's important for us to use those bright spots to take them into find joy in them as we continue the work. it's important we don't get bogged down in the dark spots we celebrate the bright spots when they happen because it's necessary to hold on to that kind of thing when we need to continue to work and doing the voter registration and turnout and fighting against the redistricting we were just hearing about or figuring out how not to get covid and can remember those good times. >> i just want to end on a positive note. what does it mean for a howard alumni

barack obama didn't do it as president. joe biden isn't going to do it. one important thing to remember, this is a woman as a senator tried to get an anti lynching law enacted and we haven't had one enacted in this country that had more lynchings than any other country. we can't get anti lynching law here. people don't want to legislate in that area. she trieded to do things to push criminal justice reform and police reform. she and cory booker supported it. that is dead. i want to remind you we talked about this judge. he's elected. he's a politician. he's an elected official until the state of wisconsin so this has to do with another piece she's attempting to work on is the vote. can people get access by the means you can replace this man and do you bother? he ran unopposed the last time he was put in that office and the last thing i'll say is we want to zoom out. we want kamala harris to be all things to all people. she has to represent everything black. but she's not the only person responsible to do that. this system is not on her shoulders. she didn

barack obama wins and that's the end of the world as republicans know it. there is no way, two years later the tea party. . >> that happens. >> it's the way it works and it goes back and forth. look at wikipedia, people. >> exactly. >> back and forth. >> especially this century, we have seen a wave of 2006 and '14 and we saw a wave in '18. this thing is going back and forth with huge swings. every time this happens, people think they are dead and buried in decades. >> i know we got elected in '94. we talked about the permanent realliancement. i remember u.s. news with buzzards circling around. >> we are going to find the next big thing out there some where. >> parties always find a way and so it's interesting. but willie, anyway, now we blink and the democrats who lost virginia and a lot of other races in virginia almost lost in new jersey, we are not getting anything done and pass the historic infrastructure pill that spike the fact that people in the house are allowing their heads to blow off their should ers. it's a bipartisan bill. last night or this mo

last time the leaders met together was june 2016 during president barack obama's last year in white house. while relations, some new problems, new challenges have emerged from a.p. reporting, canada's justin trudeau arrived in washington with concerns about buy american provisions in the president's proposed $1.85 trillion social services plan. mexico's priorities heading into the summit were to obtain concrete advances on immigration, a more equitable access to covid-19 vaccines. we're back with ashley parker and rick stengel. just set the stage for the trilateral meeting which is happening, i think, in a few minutes. >> sure. so, you know, president biden, just to go back a little bit, when he took office, one of the things he was determined to do was repair relationships with allies around the globe and kind of declare america is back. and he was met with some understandable skepticism, in part from leaders who had seen the past four years under former president trump and as his administration went on by some of his own actions such as unilaterally withdrawing from afghanistan. so, you

tim still with his coat on around the iowa caucuses, as barack obama was on his way to become a historic president of the united states. i view it, and i think you do too, as the birthplace of "morning joe." java joes open nearly 30 years before it just closed. tim was the most important guy at nbc news at the time. he said, this is where i want to talk politics. i've been watching from a distance, and i like what you're doing. here i am. java joes, from there, every iowa caucus, every four years, for us, it kicked off an important year and was our bread and butter, talking about presidential politics and the election. so sad to hear this news from tim and amy, that java joes is closing. it really has been such a part of our lives for well over a decade. for people in des moines, much longer than that. >> you know, as you look at these images, it takes me back, mika. i remember calling phil and telling him, "hey, we need to go to iowa. we're a political show." he said, "people at nbc news aren't going to let you go out." i remember telling phil, "well, listen, we're going to be in iowa.

. >> joining us now is david plouffe, former adviser to president barack obama. he's an msnbc political analysts. we are at an interesting stage in the infrastructure bill that has already become law. that is, i am fine to get much easier to describe it now that it has passed and become law. and we actually have practical applications of it out there. >> no question, lawrence. the language that president biden used today, about the types of trucks that went over the bridge, why it was important, the more real and granular it is, the more i think -- until there are shovels in the ground -- it will not be -- it was great to see american flags and bridges and a really vivid description of who would benefit from this. this is important for the country importantly, but also important politically. the most important for democrats to hold on to congress, -- if people feel better about the economy, this infrastructure bill will be a piece of that, as well as the build back better bill as well. that and getting covid in our we're view mirror will give us confidence about

. >>> joining us now is david fluff, former campaign manager to president obama barack obama. we are at an interesting stage at the infrastructure bill that has become law. i am finding it much easier to describe it now that it has passed and become law, and we actually have practical applications of it out there. >> no question. the language president biden used today about the types of trucks that went over that bridge and why it was important, the more real it is, the more granular, the more i think until there is shovels in the ground, it will matter to people. and so it was great to see american flags and bridges and really vivid descriptions of who would benefit. this is important for the country, most importantly, but also politically. the most important thing for democrats next year in their battle to save democracy and hold on to control in congress will be president biden's approval ratings growing. if people feel better with the economy and this infrastructure bill will be a big piece of that as will the build back better plan bill as well, you know, that and gettin

i lived through 2010 where you know, nancy pelosi and barack obama and leader reid put together legislation that literally saved the country from economic disaster. from teetering on the edge. and then the same democrats got trounced in the midterms. >> some people say you're scarred by it. >> i am very scared by it and having nightmares. i see the same thing happening here in the future, but i do like that quite frankly that this biden white house is out front and trying to turn the government into good politics going into the midterm because they have to. >> there has been trauma there. michelle, take a listen to what cornell alluded to. knowing the lessons, and really putting out a big argument here. here's the president. >> we're taking monumental steps forward to bidding back better for this nation. my mission for the people in new hampshire is simple. it's this. because of this delegation, new hampshire and america are moving again. your life is going to clang for the better and that's literal. >> michelle. >> i think they're going to have to keep doing those kind of events. maybe not

accusations, invented controveries like they did to barack obama's entire presidency. every secretary and relative and any person that has any association to the current administration will come under target. we've seen that anyone involved in trump world will not hesitate to abuse their power, use their office, use their leverage, use their authority to do whatever they want to trump's enemies to perceive things. they made enemy's list in the administration. they will advance, they will do everything they can to target and go after every single person they perceive to be a threat to them and really, what that means, a threat to them are people willing to stand up for democracy. people willing to defend democracy, defend checks and balances, respect our institutions, try to hold up the pillars that keep our society going. steve bannon has said all along that his intention is to act as a lennonest and tear down and destroy the structures of institutions in the establishment. he announced that in 2017. what we see happening with donald trump and the republican party and

barack obama when he was president his last year, illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. just stop and think about that for a second. illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. and in the obama/biden administration, they skyrocketed under donald trump. they are continuing to skyrocket now. obviously joe biden needs to figure out exactly what worked when he and barack obama were in the white house before and duplicate that. >> there's that, but as they celebrate the bipartisan infrastructure bill today, i would also suggest that they look at the many different crises facing this administration and think about like a supply chain czar. there's a couple different things american consumers and this is what -- this is what's going to impact the way they vote. that are impacting them right now. they can celebrate a bipartisan infrastructure bill about what's coming. that's great. but what's happening right now? like, massive shortages in supply chain issues and that's going to stay with us for months and months. >> mika, the 60 minutes piece last night on the supply chain, crisis

you and she align momentarily around barack obama. she then finds there is funding going to support reproductive health. that then becomes a divisive point for her. >> like for her, abortion is the thing she cares about most because that is the thing the catholic church cares about most. and she is very catholic, right? so the people who agree with her on abortion she will trust on other things because that to her is sort of the mark of a moral compass. there is little i -- people give me all these ideas. here is how you can persuade her. sending her copies of articles of the "new york times." >> she believes you are a member of the deep state. >> right. there is nothing i can do. a self-fulfilling prophesy in that way. so i just sort of have to reckon with the fact that we kind of occupy two different realities >> i think there is a tendency to imagine when you talk about qanon believers, when you talk about trump supporters, that it is all white people and it's not. your mom scrambles that. >> i wrote an essay about my mom's qanon s

but i didn't see fred upton stand up and protest when it was happening to barack obama. everybody needs to condemn all of this craziness. i would say somebody's going to get killed. people have gotten killed. >> that's sobering. yesterday, talk about sobering, i spoke with paul gosar's sister jennifer. here is a little bit of what she told me about her brother. >> at this level i am reengaging to pull my brother out of a cult, right? to pull him out from enabling and empowering the cult, because it's a very active -- and although he's a buffoon when he talks, he's active in engaging those people that want to hear that message. they want to feel better about themselves, they want to feel like they're not losing something. >> susan, do republicans not realize this kind of behavior, while they argue, it's harmless, it's freedom of speech, that it puts people in harms way? >> they know it and a lot of them do not care. that's where the need to be reelected or to stand out, maybe raise money, whatever it is, people like gosar put his own personal feelings above what is good f

barack obama cried after sandy hook. you had bill clinton first struggling with his weight during the campaign and the infidelity issues. i mean, showing vulnerability, i think, makes you a better candidate. i know when i was preparing one of the presidential candidates in the 2020 race for presidential debates, that was one of the big things i told them. get away from the notes, get away from the prepared comments -- talk. talk about your life experience, things that people can relate to. >> that is risky. susan, what do you think about that strategy? you know there's -- i can think of a few moments off the top of my head when politicians go offscript and you're like, whoa, no, stick so the script, please. >> please clap. >> please clap. i was going to say, there's definitely a double standard with how we treat men and women politicians in this country. there's no doubt about that. so, to michael's point, going offscript, smart or not smart? >> depends on the candidate. you can go offscript in a very scripted way, if yo

obama. i have to slide that in there. you need to have some levity. >> i have to ask you before you go, a, would you ever go back in government? and what do you think about the state of politics across the country? >> so, obviously, it's rough when you turn on the tv 5r7bd read articles and talk to your crazy uncle at thanksgiving. i know i will. i don't know first and foremost, i'm lucky fans are willing to let me into their homes again. people that watch our show. they're involved in their own communities. one of the things that i remain hope. about having worked in the white house is the opportunity that we have to really make a difference and i know that sound hokie. but the stuff that i worked on wasn't sexy enough to be on came i cable news. it wasn't vitriolic enough to be on twitter. the types of people i was meeting were people that cared about their communities. when they made their voices heard, they may have gotten 100% than they wanted. rediscovering that is something i am tryin

the republican base slash fox news audience naturally hated barack obama, it naturally hated hillary clinton, it naturally hated biden and harris. pumping out lies all year, including straight-up deception like you see, and they've succeeded. they're taught their base to hate joe biden. joining me now, david plouffe, 2008 obama campaign manager as well as a former senior adviser of president obama. he is here to discuss. first of all, that really is like, even by their standards, pretty egregious with the disappearing hand in the middle, to do that. how much of an effect in the sort of -- the space of american politics, and the amorphous thing we call public opinion, how much effect does that one network have? >> enormous. first of all, chris, you're smart to call this out, because i think we believe there's no bottom at fox. this was a new and meaningful and dangerous moment. maybe it was a trial balloon. but this is a new front in their war. so yeah, i mean, they basically pollute up to probably a third of the electorate and then that third of the electorate spills over into, you k

hussain obama. he thrives in this nonsense. they have accounts that create whole conspiracy theories. this is what they do and do it so well and so there is only -- it's only a matter of time before the make believe becomes real. we saw pieces of this in charlottesville when the man killed the woman. we saw with the tiki torches deal. this is happening in different parts of the country for sometime. so what we have to acknowledge now is it's only again a matter of time before it reaches the top and for him to be so flippant about mike pence. the fact we're defending mike pence's well being over the president, i think speaks volumes and i think this goes back to what we've been talking about, tif and that is human decency. this isn't political. this isn't partisan. this is about what is right and what is wrong. the fact that congressman thompson who of course chairs the select committee has issued 35 plus subpoenas that and steve bannon is one of them, he's not the only one that's saying i'm not goin

trying to change that trend is valerie jarrett, the ceo of the barack obama foundation and board care of civic nation and part of the made to save coalition, working to make vaccination more acceptable in communities of color. valerie, thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you. good afternoon. >> you've got 28 million american children eligible to be vaccinated and you're trying to make sure children of color in particular get that shot. what are the challenges you're facing? >> absolutely. well, first of all, nothing is more important from the parent's perspective than the health of our children. we want do everything we can to keep them safe. there's been a lot of misinformation before. so part of our goal is to reach out across a broad network of organizations across our country, meet people where they are, give parents the information that they need that will convince them that it is safe for their child to get vaccinated, encourage them to talk to their pediatrician and health care providers and build this network of support that moves the needle forward, with no pun intended

hillary clinton's campaign when she started making progress against barack obama. snooer talking about cutting the gas pipelines. >> that election has worked for other presidents as well. >> i want to step back a little bit here and follow up on what clear was just talking about, about learning from last coos. >> we talked last week about the new york times editorial. their analysis of democrats lost in virginia and governor's race. the party. this morning the wall street journal william is giving his take. he writes in part, gubernatorial contest mainly teaching about race and it raised an ethnicity in public schools. >> three easy steps, showed how not to do with it. >> first, tell parents butt out. >> second, infuriates parents by telling them they are confused and there is no real world problem. and finally accused of republican candidates of blowing a whistle. the bottom line is time for democrats to get serious of the problem they created for themselves in decades long, drift towards progressivism that repels the voters. >> they node to build a national major

you remember this, joe wilson accused barack obama of lying and it was a massive scandal. that's just how much of a departure from the decorum in the house of representative it's we've had in the last ten years. it's stunning, quite frankly. i imagine that, i would even go, go as far to say as it will go beyond typical republicans, i think. i don't have a great sense but think it will go beyond the, you know, the liz cheney's and the -- >> right. >> see people, this behavior is disgusting and we shouldn't stand for it. >> so there's a lot of attention, as mark points out, the house leader kevin mccarthy hasn't said anything related to gosar. interesting, at least as far as i know, and i do know, both of us all the time, nothing even towards congressman upton, member of his own party getting death threats on his bipartisan vote on the infrastructure bill. does that surprise you? >> surprises me awe the leadership team, scalise and others on television saying they cannot understand how any republican can vote for this, and he says nothing about marjorie taylor greene who wen

barack obama and nancy pelosi also back then passed an awful lot of legislation that quite frankly save the country from disaster. and certainly from going off an economic cliff. and then we turn around and got dragged into those midterms as well. democrats have to do a much better job of connecting their legislation to the real world and realize, to the aspirations and concerns of americans. they've been good at passing legislation. democrats have historically not been very good at selling that legislation, not good at the politics of that legislation. although i will say, lawrence, and i will say that biden has taken a lot of hits, as have democrats, about this -- but even if they had passed build back better and the infrastructure bill, i don't know that it would have made that much of a difference, quite frankly, in those results you just saw. in virginia. and history says that it may not have made that much of a difference, because the base of the party just is not energized. as well as the base of the republican parties. >> it seems that infrastructure is especially challenging fo

you know, barack obama and nancy pelosi also back then passed an awful lot of legislation that, quite frankly, saved this country from disaster, certainly from going off the economic cliff, and then we turn around and got drubbed in the midterms as well. i think democrats have to do a much better job of connecting their legislation to the real world and real lives and aspirations and concerns of americans. they've been very good at passing legislation. democrats historically have not been very good at selling that legislation. they've not been very good at the politics of the legislation, although i will say, lawrence, and i know biden has taken a lots of hits about this and democrats took a lot of hits about this, but even if they passed the build back better and the infrastructure bill, i don't think it would have made much difference in the election results you just saw in virginia, and history says that. it probably wouldn't make that much difference because the base of the party just isn't energized as well as the base of the republican party is. >> it seems infrastructure is esp

the tea party was out there hanging barack obama, president obama and having "n" word signs and just blatant racism calling him a monkey and evening else and next thing you knew, tea party people are all over congress. they're members of congress. they're part of the main stream of the republican party. the tea party movement was the old version. they're totally main stream. do you believe that at some point -- i mean, there are half a dozen that have been elected. the future of the party essentially is the insurgents, the insurrectionists. they will become the main leadership of the party at some point, right? >> that's certainly the direction we're seeing. there is no room for anyone that stands for anything that has told the truth or actual policy like what happened to the republicans this week that voted in favor of the -- >> death threats. >> look what happened to them. look at the death threats and look at their own members. their own members of the party elected officials releasing their personal information but they know it's going to lead to threats. they know it's going to

i think that barack obama was both confident and different than other politicians, but, boy, you better be popping out and cocky and excited and selling what you did because people want to know where their money is going. it's interesting if you do the obama comparison that michelle makes because we pulled video in front of the same bridge when they were appealing for more infrastructure spending all the way back then. take a look. >> behind us stands the ben spence bridge that it's in such poor condition it's labeled functionally obsolete. >> and replacing the bridge in cincinnati, you like that, critical to the region. >> this will be the first time i have come up here in a quarter of a century where i thought maybe there was a way forward on the brent spence bridge. >> i've got to tell you, gene, that's a lot of people who know about this bridge but never funded it revitalization. it's striking to see biden winning on it and of all people, mitch mcconnell, who was for it after he was against it, coming around saying maybe we're going to fix this thing with biden money. >> right, beca

. >> it's still a pretty good bet historically until barack obama not a single sitting u.s. senator in my lifetime that had made it to the presidency. so it's still a pretty good bet. pretty quickly, james, this doesn't make maggie hassen less vulnerable. but is it because the primary can get so trumpy in new hampshire that the best general election candidates don't want to do this? >> that's exactly it, trump is a factor. two things are true and i'll be short about it. republicans were left yesterday without a plan b. absolutely no one stepping up to run as a major candidate to be back by washington to get the major money. the second thing is maggie hassen still the most vulnerable democrat in the united states senate and be true even if she had as one person put it, a b minus candidate running as a republican, still a very competitive race. >> it's still the environment and in some ways running against a sitting governor could have diluted the referendum aspect of the campaign. there's actually a mediocre track record for sitting governors sometimes challenging sitting sen

one stay-at-home dad and part-time lyft driver in arizona became convinced that barack obama and george soros had packed ballots boxes with fake ballots. he left messages saying that the secretary of state would hang from a tree. and georgia, saw for rudy giuliani, he left a voice mail for the fulton county director telling him he better rung or he would be hung and face firing squads. a 42-year-old night staffer, worked at a youth treatment center in utah, he said his anger boiled over after he watched an election conspiracy theory event hosted by the my pillow guy mike lindell. he messaged an election official saying i know where you sleep. be afraid. you will die. this is by a real person who is findable, traceable, reuters called them. reuters spoke to nine of these folks, believing they believe they didn't do anything wrong, saying election officials deserve these threats. most of the people reuters spoke to, part of the reason they're so cocky and not running from this, there are no consequences for it. most have never heard from police. even though law enforcement alerted officia
