cost republicans control the house in 2018 and the white house in 2020 but republican voters saw him win in 2016 and saw republicans come close to winning back the house in 2020 and they think this kind of politicking can work, so it is hard to make the case that this was a failed experiment when there are so many pieces of evidence politically that it worked in so many ways, even though it had negative repercussions for republicans in other ways that is why i think it when he 24, whether trump runs or not, but especially if he does, you will see every candidate in some fashion or another try and tell trump -- tell republican primary voters they will be the next trump. host: you say a lot, in your book -- influence over his four years in office. you write in particular that even after trump engineered a hostile takeover of the gop, he was suspicious of the party that he led and did not have a very high opinion of it and that is why after leaving the white house in 2021, he sent cease-and-desist letters to the nrsc, now under the chairmanship of 2024 contender in florida senator rick

host: this is deborah out of virginia, a republican. why are you a republican? caller: good morning. i am really -- i cannot say i am a true republican. i have voted democratic, but when i was younger the democratic party was more for the people and the working man. to me, it seems as if the democratic party has just split. they are more for power and their selves than they are the people. the people -- they are not to rule over us. they are to do for us. i vote a lot on values, morals, not so much what they say, campaign. they say a lot of things just to get elected. i vote more on the morals and values. that is why i voted republican this year. as far as the new green deal that the democrats have put forth, you cannot just stop fossil fuels overnight and expect this new green deal thing to work. there is more to it than just the environment. they was not transparent at all with what is in this new bill they are passing. all you hear is childcare. they are not as transparent for the workingmen to me now as they used to be. host: you say you vote on morals and v

says more republicans say they are trump supporters first and republican party supporters first, this raises not a prospect of uniting boaters in 2022 against trump -- i don't think that's going to happen for democrats. it does raise the prospect, if trump is on the ballot, even an unpopular democratic party can recoup a lot of ground as people decide they may not want the democrats, but they really don't want donald trump. the democrats and president biden have a different calculation to make. the politically sensible thing would be to pivot to the center quickly. the problem with that is it is very difficult to see how to do that without provoking an eternal -- an internal party conflict. to move even more to the center would provoke an intraparty conflict that would include primary challenges to incumbents in 2022 and continue the democrats in disarray narrative. they need to -- they are continuing to tell voters in the middle that they are a lesser priority, to me an insoluble problem for the democrats. biden will continue doing what he has been doing, but that has not worked for

my money is not spent on republican versus republican. it's how am i going to defeat the democrat, win back the senate one seat, win back the house one seat and that's what we need. >> melissa burke from the detroit news. hi, how are you. >> good. >> and i have a question-- i'm going to ask first about the michigan redistricting commission, there has been controversy over the maps every not meeting deadlines. are you guys going to -- are you guys going to get involved. >> nrcc is taking the lead on the redistricting. i will say i really take issue with the michigan redistricting commission because the balloting initiative said it had to be equal by party. michigan is not a register by party state who are you determining who are the republicans versus the democrats and based on vetting, purported to be independent they aren't. we sued we did lose on that. i don't like these commissions. i don't think they're bipartisan. >> [inaudible] what's line five? >> it's enbridge line. i don't know it's still enbridge line five. mackinac brings oil f

in 2019 by the republican legislature. these were republican rules. >> the refusal to count those mail votes early and be prepared really hurt the country. and if you can't get the ballots counted accurately, efficiently, expeditiously, you create the space for trump and his squad and the goons to go out there and plant lies, to try to steal the election. >> we are going to prove to the american people that arizona is trump country. >> it was happening most notably in swing states. in arizona, there was sharpie gate, the trump campaign alleged that sharpie markers made them unreadable by the counting machine-s. >> that was sort of the beginning of this, let's start and throw, you know, chum in the water for folks that want to try and overturn this election. >> in georgia, big lie that spread on the internet was that this legal case of ballots was actually a secret suitcase of false biden votes being added to the count. >> i saw four suitcases come from underneath the table. >> something the republican lieutenant governor a

tony: unless a republican wins. i would love to agree with your statement that is going to impact the turnout. the fact of the matter is, we saw turnout particularly republican turnout, in both new jersey and virginia increase. karen: how it impacts turnout, how it impacts democracy. how -- if we have reached the point where a significant portion of our population does not trust the people who have run our elections and done a pretty good job of it for our history. tony: i think, there is a gradation of what people think. even within the republican party there is a gradation of what they think. about what republicans thought about the election. the closer we get to 2022, and they crossed back -- the prospect helps move this down the road. will trump start talking about it -- stop talking about it? once you get past 2022, you are onto the next election. can i do another lesson of the 2021 elections? john: big turnout, republicans should not fear big turnout. they should not fear making it as easy as possible for peop

three out of four house members are republican. there is one african-american majority seat, the second district that takes in the delta and jackson. that is represented by bennie thompson. bennie thompson was the lone democrat in the house to vote against hr 1, the package of voting reforms democrats wanted to pass earlier this year that would have included gerrymandering reform. i spoke with congressman thompson about this for his no vote. he is very suspicious of redistricting commission's over the process. -- commission taking over the process. it would be possible for there to be two black majority districts in the state, but republicans in charge of the legislature and governorship would not draw that map. it would require federal or court intervention to do so. there is a stronger case for additional black majority districts in states like louisiana, mississippi -- i'm sorry, alabama and potentially south carolina. host: mark from fort lauderdale, democratic caller. caller: hello and good morning to both of you. thanks for c

they are not running back to republicans. it is -- if you don't hit biden like numbers and you collapse in the world participate, that is your challenge. >> so chris, how do you feel on this? >> i don't know what made me want to go after her. [laughter] it is like going after charles on the special report panel. he would live nothing. there was not even a crumb for your gravy. >> you are a good suck-up, c hris. send me your venlo address when this is over -- venmo address when this is over. [laughter] >> let it rip. the reality for a lot of democrats is that they are going to overstate the significance critical race theory played in the race, because it is self soothing. bigoted republicans and bigoted voters. #whitewomen. this stuff feels better in the same way that republicans will do the same thing, you will find the most negative attribute in your opponent -- you will overstate that. there are bigots who voted on this election in this election on this issue. they were cocoa for cocoa puffs. -- cuckoo for cocoa puffs. the

how many have republicans put forward? since your attempts to try and address the issue, and they have always crashed against a sea of politics so this has the same debate. there is more energy on the left with regards to legislation but they are in the majority so that makes sense. at the federal and level, you are seeing more energy on the right because they are in charge of the state legislatures but it's not addressing the larger issue that no one is trusting each other because no one can have a conversation about it. for me, as i said, i am not an expert at this but i always had a fundamental issue with the fact that, you know, you have to have an idea to get on a plane but i can walk when i would go vote in d.c., i would just tell them my name and they would say here is your ballot. >> i thought there was a voter id provision? >> there is. i am not an expert on these issues either. the bulk of the john lewis bill was to restore the voting rights act which traditionally was a bipartisan effort. stephanie, why don't yo

>> republicans? >> yes. >> it depends, essay it is back at 50%, is a different scenario. >> one of the things i tried to caution my republican friends with his stop measuring -- before last week's elections, i heard someone say is a done deal, in the bag, we are going to get thousand senate. it is not. we can talk about historical trends, presidential approval rating, what your job is not to measure curtains right now, it is to build a house. some republicans can get from that mindset, which we saw from leadership, what we were at the rnc, we -- only internally in 2010 did we talk about taking back the house until after labor day. >> i got in trouble for not going out and bragging we are going to take the house. how my going to go off and say we are going when the house? we underplayed, karl rove came after me and said we should get 39 seats in the house. we are not going to do that. after the election, i said i got 63. you have to do the work. >> that is the national and the local. what we saw in th

with republicans with almost every republican pretending like there is no problem, ostriches with their head in the sand. they seem happy to ignore the flood of antidemocratic legislation sweeping across the country. the john lewis voting rights advancement act is a chance. chance for bipartisanship and to repair the damage caused by donald trump's big life and restore the faith in democracy. democrats are ready to work with republicans in good faith if they vote to begin a debate on voting rights tomorrow. the senate has already voted on more amendments than any full year under president trump. we have offered them an open amendment process, just as a city senate ought to work just as we say the senate ought to work. but republicans shouldn't do and mustn't do is squelch any chance to bring something this critical and sacrosanct as the right to vote. if there's any that has debate in the chambers voting rights they say they want more bipartisanship we are ready to give it to them for they have another opportunity for a bipartisanship tomorrow when we will begin to debate. i hope that w

i am not a republican. joining in the republican caucus anymore and the 50-50 republican controlled senate went to a 50-49 democratic senate in -- in 2001 and that's kind of the ultimate leverage. >> okay. i get you. i get you. okay. i get you. then, who -- is there someone who can get them together and say, look, let's get this together? >> well, it's interesting. >> is that the president? >> that is the president. you know, i have talked to several democratic -- democratic senators and others who have -- who have met with manchin who have said that, you know, deep down, he probably prefers there to be no reconciliation bill at all. that would be his preference. you never hear him talk positively about it in public. whenever he goes out in public, he just basically repeats republican talking points against it. it's not much different in private, i am told. but what democrats say is that even though he thinks it would be easier for him to just sink the whole thing, um, he understands both that that would si

eight united americans behind republicans last night in is exactly what house republicans have been saying for months. republicans are the party appearance, education, of small businesses, of freedom, and a family. democrats are the party of big government socialism creating crisis after crisis. even after their losses, nancy pelosi doubled down on her agenda yet again this morning prayer that is exactly why she is a lame-duck speaker of the house. republicans have a better optimistic vision for our natio and we will continue to talk about the issues that mattered to the american people. we are going to hear from a number of my colleagues today was special guest from the virginia delegation but first i want to hand it over to my colleague the ranking number member of the education workforce. >> thank you, representative stephani berry. last night's victory in virgini proves that the voices of parents matter it proves that parents will not and cannot be silenced. education is at the forefront o voters mind because it matters. it matters what our kids learn in school. it matters what i being

to the republican party? or to donald trump? 62% said the republican party. 26% said donald trump. and i think we are in an instant-gratification society. anderson, donald trump dominated the political world in this country, and around the world for that matter, for five years. he's been gone now not quite ten months out of office. and we expect everything to be changed. i think that people have to start to speak out about the truth, which is what i try to do in the book. >> but other than, i mean, your speaking out but there is not a lot of other people out there. i mean, it is pretty lonely w. see what happened to liz cheney. adam kinzinger as well said he is not going to run again. >> well i think it's a little different for me because, you know, for people who say they support donald trump, they have to line up behind me. you remember i was the first one to endorse him in february of 2016 after i dropped out of the race. chaired his transition. was offered chief of staff. was offered secretary of labor. was offered homeland security secretary. a lot of things. i didn't take the

that includes picking fights with republican on republican or democrat on democrat. i will be honest with you, a couple of months ago i had to get my concealed carry permit because i get threats from the far right and the far left and i now carry a gun everywhere i go when i'm back home in my district and i am partially through getting a concealed carry permit and i'm here in the seed to protect myself and my family. we have to think about how we communicate and talk to one another even when we disagree. the beauty of our country and the foundation and the american experiment that our nation was built upon is that we should have the ability to have these debates and these discussions without fear of physical reprisal or physical threats or fighting. we should be able to have the debate of ideas and agreed to degree or agree to disagree at the end of the day, but work together where we can. you will see a lot of that and the message has always been that i am literally going to work with anyone who is willing to work with we -- work with me and i am doing that work. ho

it is the sort of shiny object put out there by republicans. there is no real interest in doing it. >> let's be clear, the voting rights act of 1965 are both about much more than voter id. there are critical pieces of legislation here that will deal with support on campaign-finance reform, for instance. on a lot of things that we put in place during the last election and we ran free, fair, safe elections. in the middle of a pandemic. many of these things will be putting those in place. stephanie, what you hear from people in your universe when they are looking at these bills? >> on voting rights, they are concerned. republicans assert there is voter fraud, despite the evidence. their efforts to sue for -- to suppress the vote. you can see it, best example is florida. we have worked on many campaigns here, but the images of people spending 10, 12, 20 hours in line, in certain precinct, not everywhere, but in certain precincts that happen to have a lot of democratic voters, and many of them dropping off because they have to go to work or take car

republican senator rick scott, who is now the chair of the republican senatorial review campaign obviously had no problem with the candidate accused of beating his wife, especially since rick scott report a republican presidential candidate, donald trump, accused of the same thing. >> we'll see who comes out of the primary, if facts will come out, we'll find out exactly what people think. i think what ultimately happens is people are going to look at somebody's background and say is that the type of person they want? and also are they talking about the issues that i care about. >> you have someone's whose wife is saying that he strangled them and left welts on their child. i think that's a fair question to ask you if this is the right guy for this job. >> i'm not as opposing people in primary. >> and so as you saw right there, the republican party had no problem and has no problem with an alleged wife beater running for a republican nomination for senate in pennsylvania or anywhere else. the first republican to give up on sean parnell's candidacy was sean parnell, who dropped out of the ra

in 2017, steve scalise, a republican whip, shot by some animal who hated republicans. in 2019, a trump supporter was sending pipe bombs to critics of mr. trump, including people at this network. we saw the insurrection. in the first or second year of the obama administration, some neo-nazi was stopped at the holocaust museum. murdered a guard in his car. there was a list of jews who worked for barack obama. this is an era of political violence so our leaders have to bring the temperature down. and i blame mr. trump first and now mr. mccarthy. they are not bringing the temperature down and condemning violence and they have to do that because people are getting hurt. >> really quick, let me just say, kinzinger also just voted in favor with cheney. so two republicans. >> that gets you to -- >> not surprised. >> a lot of these republicans ran for the hills when donald trump would tweet something offensive. and they didn't want to talk about it, much less censure him or say he was wrong or anything like that. so they're not going to censure gosar because there's another exc

number one, that republican that says not all republicans are rich. how about the 467 millionaires that turned into billionaires during covid? frump and his -- trump and his tax returns. by the way, batteries don't cost $100 for hearing aids. i just bought 14 of them yesterday. for 12 bucks. from rite-aid. that guy is nuts. number four, the only people that got drafted for vietnam were poor. indigent people. i'd still like to see those bone spurs that trump had. and-- host: we'll take those four comments, mark. reminder just to our viewers, as you are waiting to get on, turn down your television, makes it easier to hear your call. a little less distracting when you are on the air. carol, virginia, independent, good morning. carol, are you there? caller: hello. all the people coming here -- host: carol, having a little trouble with your phone line. if you can call back we'll try to get that connection better. gordon in kansas city, kansas, republican. good morning. caller: good morning, buddy. the dude with the student loans, he took the loans out. he

-- some republicans oppose. you can say the same thing about republicans in a sense that there's a bigger culture war and that democrats are also kind of following the same guidelines up and down the ballot. it comes down to polarization throughout the country and nationalization. host: anthony is in mount pleasant, south carolina. caller: good morning. my question is a group -- i was up in virginia a week ago and i saw all of the glenn youngkin signs and to quickly remember when hillary clinton was running , i saw republican signs everywhere. did this have anything to do that terry mcauliffe was a clinton supporter from that era? because it seemed to me that it really gets rule votes out when someone is associated with clinton. did that have anything to do with this election? guest: in virginia it's a little tricky because the kind of establishment democrats are generally a little more popular than they are in other blueish states. that said, i think the point being made about his ties to the establishment demo

the republicans, they've got to be the party of law and order. if you want to pursue happiness you have to be safe and secure. they should be the party of law and order. they should be the party of secure borders, not lawlessness # like we are seeing now. they should be the party of america-first principles. yes, it's okay. every other country, they put their countries ahead of every other country and we ought to do it here. this america-last policy practices of joe biden is not particularly working out well. republicans need to be the party that fights for free and fair trade and of course in a very dangerous world with hostile regimes like china and north korea, iran, and russia we've got to believe and practice and put our money where our mouth is and that means peace through strength. if republicans and conservatives, if they unite behind these simple fundamental principles, which pretty much happened in virginia, and if they would have taken a step further, if they would have signed a pledge, put their signature on a piece of paper and tell

attack their republican colleagues. mccarthy suggested they should focus on democrats build back better bill, one of the sources said. fortunately still with us, our panel. our mutual friend as a column that argues it is the republicans who are in embarrassing disarray, not the democrats. do you concur with that thesis? >> well, i think that, yes, the republican show continues and torques into new embarrassing form on a monthly basis. it is certainly a hot mess. but the focus in this town and on the national news for the last couple of months after the withdrawal from afghanistan has been the democrats fighting with each other and not able to meet their deadlines for when they promised the bills were going to come out of the house and senate and get passed. and this extension and this negotiation and this promise. and this standoff. this has been the focus that has taken all the heat off the republicans as they continue to have internal squabbles about moving forward with or without donald trump and then the loudest mem

in 2019 by the republican legislature. these were republican rules. >> the refusal to count those mail votes early and be prepared really hurt the country. and if you can't get the ballots counted accurately, efficiently, expeditiously, you create the space for trump and his squad and the goons to go out there and plant lies, to try to steal the election. >> we are going to prove to the american people that arizona is trump country. >> it was happening most notably in swing states. in arizona, there was sharpie gate, the trump campaign alleged that sharpie markers made them unreadable by the counting machines. >> that was sort of the beginning of this, let's start and throw, you know, chum in the water for folks that want to try and overturn this election. >> in georgia, big lie that spread on the internet was that this legal case of ballots was actually a secret suitcase of false biden votes being added to the count. >> i saw four suitcases come from underneath the table. >> something the republican lieutenant governor an

if you are republicaning in the republican campaign, the republican candidate won this county four years ago. that's what you had to do. he's winning there. the challenge for the republicans is most of the vote is in for these counties. down here, atlanta county, which is atlanta city that the republican is ahead is a big deal. this was a county that went for the democrats four years ago by 13 point margin, just shy of a 15 point margin. at the moment, the republican is getting 57%. again, it is only a quarter of the vote, so we need to be careful as to what happened. the same as you move across here into gloucester county. 54%. if you go back four years ago, phil murphy won this county with 55% of the vote. so you do see evidence that the republican candidate has the potential to flip some counties that went blue in the last election. he would need that to change the map. remember, the population center is up here. and, again, let's check again here. we talked about virginia, and margins matter. in camden county, the governor is getting the eighth largest county in the state, getting ju

look at the diversity republicans brought to this, great night for hispanics and republicans, great night for african-americans, the democrats worst nightmare, they are losing on policy, democrats are losing with some of the other parts of the electorate they normally count on and just assume they are always going to win. >> thank you to the entire panel. >> appreciate it and thank you for joining us today as we watch the election unfold. i got this mountain bike for only $11. dealdash.com the fair and honest bidding site. this kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. this i-pad sold for less than $43. and this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. i won these bluetooth headphones for $20. i got these three suitcases for less than $40. and shipping is always free. go to dealdash.com right now and see how much you can save. >> we are empowered by a righteous conviction in our children's future. >> this amazing commonwealth of virginia. >> it is wednesday november 3rd at the big day for republicans as fox news projects glenn youngkin will defeat democrat governor terry mcauliffe in vir

republicans expand government. the last five republican presidents increased the deficit. obama, despite the great recession, cut the deficit in half. bill clinton had a budget surplus at the end of his presidency. so the reality is that the policy consequences of cutting government are not real and republicans know it. now what they are really doing is they are trying to use this very high minded rhetoric to mask their real agenda, which is tax cuts for rich people. you know, to think about this in movie terms, the holiday classic die hard featured a villain who purported to be a rebel motivated by political causes but then it was pointed out he was just really a thief. and that's exactly what's really going on here. republicans are not about cutting government and you know, campaigning on some political cause. they're much more about empowering greed. what i think is really terrible and dangerous now is we're seeing the effects of this both in the anti-vaccine movement where they believe that the government is trying for nefarious purposes to give people vaccines and tra

it united americans behind republicans last night and it is exactly what house republicans have been saying for months. republicans are the party of parents, of education, of small businesses, of freedom, and of family. democrats are the party of big government socialism, creating crisis after crisis. even after their losses, nancy pelosi doubled down on her agenda yet again this morning and that is exactly why she is a lame duck speaker of the house. republicans have a better optimistic vision for our nation and we will continue to talk about the issues that matter to the american people. we are going to hear from a number of our colleagues today with special guests from the virginia delegation. first, i want to hand it over to my colleague, virginia foxx, who is the ranking member of the committee on education and workforce. virginia. ms. foxx: thank you, representative stefanik. last night's victory in virginia proves that the voices of parents matter. it proves that parents will not and cannot be silenced. education is at the forefront of voters' minds because it matters. it matt

the top republican in the chamber. it's worth talking about who he is and how he stumbled into the top spot in his party. 2011. you remember this man. republican from ohio. sworn into speaker of the house. republicans had just decimated the democrats in the midterm. and took control of the house. writing a waiver of res sentiment and ready to take control of washington. it was his responsibility to lead his party. set the agenda. with votes keep the new caucus of inexperienced far right activists in line. baner to put it mildly was not up to the task. i have to be honest. i'm not sure if anyone could have been. his new tea party shut down the government. refused to play ball in a number of key issues like the budget. and made his life a living hell. and caused tremendous damage to the country. by imposing -- eventually after a few years of pushing they ran him out of the job entirely. the base won. he was old news anyway. there had to be a better way. >> there is a better way. and the new team is ready to bring america

that was a republican effort. the republican party has a proud tradition of giving rights to people but democrats did not want to give rights to. now, the strange thing in our postmodern context is there is this attempt to change that history, to turn conservatives and republicans into trying to deny rights. he just had the secretary of state of georgia. in georgia, the black turnout in elections was at historic levels that equated to other communities. there is no attempt to stop people from voting. there is just a desire to follow the rules. when it comes to schools and school boards, the department of justice, the biden department of justice, i'm so disappointed in our attorney general, should not call parents raising concerns on gender domestic terrorists and start investigating those parents. by the way, the doj should not just go after people that have trump's politics. the doj should go after crime. they should not go after political opponents. host: you just called virginia a blue state. president biden wo

or trump republicans and trump republicans. a few of them cussed me out because they are mad about that. a load of misinformation and disinformation. many others know that i did the hard choice of making that decision. it was some republicans that i talked to that didn't vote for president trump. i supported president trump, i was one of the early supporters in the state house because i believe that he had a better vision than others may have. if you look at all of us got together and played nice in the sand box and still did not add up to 50%. we have to grow the party. the last person that did that was ronald reagan. he ended up with a 49 states in 1994, that's what we need to do. that's about winning big when we do that. we need a message that em bralss more and accomplishes something for the people. >> mr. raffensperger, this is jean robinson, it's fairly clear that president trump discouraging of georgia's voters led the state to democratic senators of the special election in january. will those republicans come back and v

that was sent by the house republican committee, rules committee republicans last night. this is from representative ken buck, republican from colorado. would you sign a mortgage contract without reading the details? no. democrats want congress to vote on a 2000 page bill that spends trillions of dollars without the chance to read it or discuss it with our colleagues. ridiculous. yet, sadly not surprising. this is from mary kay scanlon, democrat, pennsylvania. another late night for the house rules committee democrats. well worth it to keep moving the build back better agenda act forward. finally, congresswoman, -- congresswoman sarah jacobs. let's get it done, is what she tweet. gotta put these on to see what's on the screen. ohio independent line. tim, thanks for holding. what's the new stork -- news story of the week for you? caller: desert storm and two days ago, congressman release and tim ryan of ohio -- congressman ruiz and tim ryan of ohio, that bill is to provide presumptive benefits for veterans who suffer for exposure. i happen to be one of those veterans. for

we are going to get no help from the republicans. the negotiation can be stymied by any few people in the house and any one person in the senate. it has been a difficult negotiation. i can say this. we want to make progress. if we can make progress, i think what will happen is this. the people will see once they have a paid form of family leave, it will be very difficult for future administrations to take it away. i believe we will progress from there. >> i have 30 seconds left. i want to talk about your reintroduction of the act. how would the legislation help women in the workplace. >> well, you know the statistics are staggering. what a high percentage of women are sexually harassed on the job. what does that mean for them. it means sometimes they quit. it means sometimes they do not progress in their job. it means a loss of wages. that has got a lot of implications in the present and in the future. what the legislation is going to do is really going to make the workplaces safer for women and for everyone and from harassment. it c

it means republicans are energized. it means independents are up for grabs and it means democrats are discouraged so for all the blue in the big areas where people live in this state, that is why joe biden has had to do this in the final days of the campaign. he has brought in the president and vice president up here in the northern suburbs. the first lady, richmond suburbs. stacey abrams, african-american voters down in the southeastern corner of the state. they are nervous in a state, again, they won by ten points just a year ago. so the democrats are nervous. why? because youngkin does have a chance here, anderson. let me turn this off and come to it. how does he do it? no room for error. glenn youngkin, you mentioned trump. he has to get this trump base. see all this red out here? trump ran it up out here hugely. you go through these county, trump 71%. trump 71%. trump 73%. however, they are not as populated so glenn youngkin cannot lose the trump base. but even he if he gets it all, it's not enough to win. he has t

is that a lesson for republicans? i guarantee donald trump won't learn that lesson. >> you've got two issues here. there's the road map for republicans that might succeed, but there is also a road map to failure for the democrats. so the democratic campaign just dwelt on donald trump. in fact, youngkin made an ad about how trump obsessed mcauliffe campaign was. and even in states that trump lost by ten points to joe biden, that message didn't work. so you've got to wonder whether it's going to work in a lot of other states where trump isn't as unpopular as he was in virginia. now, the other question, of course, is what republicans can do with this message. can they follow this kind of youngkin formula in the future? and i think that you're exactly right, joe, that trump is not going to want them to succeed in this way and is going to do everybody in his power to keep them from succeeding in this way. >> we have so much more to talk about, so stick around if you will, guys. >>> up next, a night of historic mayoral wins

primary with republican voters? >> larry hogan is one of the most popular governors in america, including still today. >> i agree. >> i'm not certain he couldn't win a republican primary even if donald trump was aggressively campaigning against him. >> well, maybe we'll find out. i think there are other races in 2024 that mr. hogan might be interested in. >>> as we go, another reminder, by the way. we have tickets on sale at "meet the press" film festival at afi-fest, tickets at fest.afi.com. i'll see you out there myself. >>> that's it for today. we'll be back next week. because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> it's a bfd. president biden cease half of the signature spending plan passed by congress, but with the other part of the program still undone, the question is bbb human infrastructure next? >>> plus, a district attorney appears poised to push forward on election interfierce by trump and his allies. the question is what are the potential penalties? >>> plus, ted cruz pick as fight with big bird. wit

i am a registered republican. you are a registered republican. but i'm not a paying member. yeah, it's not like the tories, where i think you have to pay. itjust seems to me we're in a very interesting political moment in america. the biden administration's come into power and they are spending big on a whole host of policies, which they say are going to fix america's problems. you know, you can look at infrastructure, road building, roll—out of 5g, post—covid recovery. this is what the biden administration says it is committed to fixing. the republicans aren't really coming up with any policy proposals on that. what they are focused on, and people like you are particularly focused on, are a whole bunch of social, cultural values—driven issues. now, do you think that that approach to politics is actually what the american people want right now? well, i...don�*t agree with your assessment. so, i've been doing campaigns for 15 years. i'm right now on four major campaigns. i talk about infrastructure and industry and bringing jobs back all the time to candidates, i coac

they are an anchor of the republican party. host: 10% our faith and flag conservatives. 7% or 15% of publican party are committed conservatives. what are they? guest: they are also very conservative. they -- there are some areas where they might diverge from other groups in the republican coalition. going back to the former president, they voted for donald trump at high rates, almost all of them voted for him in 2020. they are not quite as high on the president in terms of his political future. they are less likely to say they want him to run for another term. there are a few reservations there. they are not quite as conservative hard-core on every issue. host: another large chunk of the party is the populist right representing 23% of the party. who are they? guest: they are very strong trump supporters. on social issues in particular, especially on immigration, very conservative. they are very anti-immigration. on economic attitudes, they diverge from a lot of republican party positions. they are highly critical of u.s. corpor

i don't understand the republicans. he is rambling and all they care about is making money for themselves. they don't care about the little people in the middle class. i don't understand how these poor republicans call and complain about what biden is trying to do to help them. i don't understand it. host: when it comes to the length of the speech, even though it was technically packaged as a one minute speech, the house minority leader delayed the passage of the democrats' social spending and climate package, saying three numbers of the house are allowed to speak for unlimited amounts of time during a floor debate in "a magic minute." the speaker, majority leader in minority leader. mccarthy used one of the few tools available for the house minority to delayed proceedings last night, continuing for more than eight hours. during the first couple of hours democrats repeatedly interrupted the speech with jeers and yells to vote. mr. mccarthy responded, i will be here a long time. i'm upsetting people by telling them what

air all in on the republicans. something to be said to show i'm my own person. >> youngkin did better than trump in the trump counties. >> yes. terry mcauliffe might have done enough to win this race if not for the fact that he bled more votes. >> there was pent-up demand to make america boring again. and that is exactly what youngkin did. the traditional politics where you run on issues, see what happens. and it works. >> the problem is 2022, you have primaries. you're going to have primaries. >> he did get to avoid that. the convention in virginia was contentious. one lady described erz aherself trump in heels. we have certain primaries going on. but of course democratic have drug people to the left, which was clearly rejected. a situations where both could find themselves in primary to prevent them from doing what they do in the general. you don't have to give in to that. >> trump listening this morning isn't going to like what he hears. this was the successful pathway for youngkin to ignore him, keep him at arm
