Going to -- the more trump pushes this, the more his supporters push this, the adverse effect is whats going to come out. hes probably going to lose votes elsewhere if more of these tallies happen. but it also sort of highlights that this isnt about that for them. this is about showing fealty to the ongoing leader of the republican party, which is donald trump. and the core argument that the republican party is making right now concerning the 2020 election is that there need to be a lot more aud...

Running up a filibuster left and right. but the delta variant is remaining challenging. >> kaitlan, just to add to that point, remember that the core argument that joe biden made for his candidacy was effectively in, in a word, competence. im a guy whos been in politics for a really long time. i know how this stuff works. ive seen domestic problems. when you have afghanistan, the economy, covid-19, the border, it starts to erode out that sense that this guy is the competent guy. now, of course, ...

For being president is that he would fix government, make it work. get -- you know, get ahead of covid, essentially go back to business as usual after the tumult of trump. if they cant get this right, it starts to eat away at his core argument that he can do things. he can do hard things and make government work. and thats really the question that youre starting to hear from democrats as well. >> ann, im going to step in because it seems that the pentagon briefing is beginning now. lets listen i...

Race theory, they dont know what critical race theory is. but their core argument is dont undermine our own sense of our own past perfection, the perfection of our side. the slave owners, the confederate soldiers, we need them to be innocent. dont ever try to paint us with a broad brush. but, by the way, were going to paint you with a broad brash. all yall are -- so they dont want to be painted with the broad brush of slave owners, but theyre basically doing, as you said, painting black people w...

This is all part of this republican attempt to ensure that they will not lose the next two elections, and theyre willing to to that at any cost >> this comes at the same time about democratic outreach for 2022, as max said, is already going to be a harder year for democrats, given that they are already in power. a new report warns democrats in 2020 lacked a core argument about the economy and recovering from the coronavirus pandemic, one that might have helped candidates repel republican claims ...

Which max said will be a harder year for democrats given they are in power. a new democratic report warns, democrats in 2020 lacked a core argument about the economy and recovering from the coronavirus pandemic, one that might have helped candidates repel republican claims that they wanted to keep the economy shut down. the report concludes the party leaned on anti-trump rhetoric. i wonder if you agree with that and what case you think democrats need to make to voters going into the election yea...

I was there in greenwood with you and dr. tiffany crutcher for juneteenth, and i looked at that church that was standing there, and while it continued to be a hill for conservatives to die on, you contend that our history is filled with presidents of reparative action for our government, and that forms the core argument that they are due from the descendants of the murders or descendants of the tulsa riot massacre, is that correct? >> yes, thats correct. we did this under president ronald reagan...

Mcconnells loyalty to trump should not overwhelm his loyalty to the constitution. all senators should take their obligation of faithful impartiality seriously, especially mcconnell. history is watching, and it will be a harsh judge. joining us now is kent greenfield, author of that op-ed and professor at boston college. great to talk to you again. let me follow up on our conversation earlier. i want to get your thoughts, what is the core argument youre making? what are the two oaths of office th...

Difficult man that hes been all his life. >> he kind of exerts his power that way. jennifer, to date the president pointed out democrats held an impeachment vote citing urgency in the 2020 election. heard that from democrats as their reason for pushing forward but the president noting theyre not holding up transferring these articles of impeachment to the senate. do you think that move by speaker pelosi undermines the core argument that could be used at trial, that were trying to do this because...
