Reporter yeah. It absolutely does, anderson and mike pence releasing ten years of his tax returns and showing frankly, relatively modest numbers. These are not sevenfigure salaries that were talking about here. The pences had a tax rate of 8 and earned 113,000 and this puts the spotlight back on donald trump and his refusal to release his own tax returns and hes said that because theyre under audit and that argument has been weakened by a letter released by his tax council who has said that betw...

The calculations a site broke down because of all of the traffic that was coming in. this has been his consistent drumbeat that im standing in the way for you. ill take this. he even said today, its an honor to go through this because its on behalf of you. when youve got that sort of messaging and the money is coming in, how do the demo? gratz combat that? >> i think its really tough. i think its challenging, but i think that the president needs to continue to show the contrast at the kind of pe...

Great. i think it was substantive. all the questions for things i would care about. i just heard a little snippet about that, not taking on trump. i had him. obviously he should have been on the stage and we would have mix of more. but they talk about his quote, he the insurrection act to enter the cities. he had the blm right on our watch. he never did nothing to stop any of the writing. he didnt give any federal support. so we held him accountable for that. we held him accountable for not buil...

I thought the moderation was great. it was substantive. all of the questions were things that voters would care about. i heard a snippet on not taking on trump. i hit him. he should have been on that stage. they talked about the quote using the insurrection act to go into the cities. he had blm riots on his watch. didnt give central support. we held him accountable for that. not building the wall or doing deportations and broken promises. i think the reason he doesnt go on the stage is because h...

Character. i dont think that the biggest threat to american children is some drag queen thing. >> yep. >> weve got american kids going to bed hungry. weve got american kids who dont know whats going to happen to them tomorrow. but you pick on something, and you take their pain, and you use that for your own benefit, its a character issue for him, and i think its wrong. >> if ron desantis were worried about the safety of young children in the state of florida, he would not be making it easier to ...

Thought we had a result as a nation. whether we teach black history, weather -- near existence of lgbtq+ people, and its really difficult for suburban voters who i think republican party is get a need to court aggressively in the general election. >> dry clean story hour doesnt happen. its not a big thing. but to the extent that it comes. up there are a lot of parents who may not be republican, or whatever who might be uncomfortable with. that is a smart issue to pickett? in other words, he was ...

Place, not a place that congress used to go in the past. and i think its, you know, worth discussing whether thats good for the country. >> i think mccarthy will continue to try to argue that all hes doing is going by the precedent set by democrats in the last congress but there is a very clear distinction between removing members from a committee or refusing to allow them to sit on a committee because you have some political or ideological differences, you know, objections that have to do with ...

What he did for the credit for his when is he not only focus in on his home base in atlanta, where he pastors and is, centered he went to rural, georgia, he talked to white, rural, georgians. who may have had some neighbors who might not have wanted to talk to him because of his race. but he went into territories in georgia that herschel walker was walking, and lets talk about this too. character. the character issue. we did not bring that up. i was in atlanta twice over the last month and a hal...

The whole package. >> right, i had him on a radio show yesterday. give a very robust defense of the things that the administration did. his focus -- on the full autobiography from when he was a kid. but there is whole sections on defending what they did. i think it comes down to a character issue. he is a man of deep faith. i think after january 6th he couldnt sustain some sort of lie that the election was stolen 2020. that began a pretty strong diversion to trump on character issues. >> eric, i...
