in the things that you want to get done i can't get done. he did it is on this couch like pete points out and lay out priorities that are different than what's happening in reality. >> what he'll say is everybody had a seat at the table so the far right that's mad at him they would input he say and change measures and sending them back to the senate or first time they have priorities, and little changes. knew qans to them that republicans wouldn't have had if he were not the speaker i've done what i can on these things we have to get stuff passed and get it done. he's also talked about listen he changed his position on some of these things he said once i saw the intel i sat down, with members of the intel committee, and community and got a different perspective on some of these things regarding fisa regarding ukraine. yes i'll admit i've changed my position a bit on that but he also says we have briefings that members did not come to so they can stangsd and criticize some of this stuff but if they didn't come and see what i saw, then it is tough for them to question
march madness, he has decided he will get in on the name image likeness game. and make himself some money. but let's go to the hill because i want to play what speaker johnson said tonight. about his plan to put foreign aid bills on the floor. in the next few days. >> i think providing aid to ukraine is important and i'm willing to take personal risk for that and history will judge us. i do not spend time walking around thinking about the motion to vacate. >> he resisted this move until this week when all of a sudden his job is on the line. what is really going on here? >> it is really, really interesting. at first there was this thought that speaker johnson, that republicans wouldn't have the ear they have for kevin mccarthy and he might not have his job on the line.
democracy or autocracy. >> does it sell to american voters? >> that's the correct question because supposedly a third of democrats and approximately a third of republicans wouldn't mind an autocracy as long as it was his or her guy or gal, which is a frightening thing when you think about it. the polarization is so deep and coarse in the united states that we now seem to be at least open to the idea that democracy might not be the way to go. >> you have said i'm one of those who believes too much tech is concentrated in too few hands. democracy and civil society to personal habits and relationships. >> well, just look at the markets. last year the s&p and nasdaq had one of their best years in history. but it was really seven companies referred to as the magnificent seven that were responsible for the majority of the gains. when you have too much concentration of power in the hands of a small number of organizations or people it leads to bad things. >> what will it do for instance ai, you know, as you said, it's
policy experience, stood up for kind of traditional conservative values like standing with our allies abroad. i also thought mike pence had a good night. and you know, this is a man who's done two vice presidential debates, he's gone gubernatorial debates, so he's got that experience. but nearly every candidate on that stage was forced to admit something very important on the airways of fox news. that what vice president pence did to certify the election was the right thing to do and his constitutional duty. so i think that stood out to people. but listen, the reality is donald trump's 40 points ahead. even though polling would suggest that most republicans wouldn't support a convicted felon, donald trump kind of blows most polling out of the water. so i'm not really sure we can expect any coming wave to take him out of the front-runner status. >> david, it seemed as though fox wanted to move on from talking about trump and what happened on january 6th. but as alyssa noted, former vice president mike pence not only embraced the conversation, he really interrupted even to make
>> huh-uh. >> on law enforcement, on crime. again, that's fine. he doesn't have to agree with them. he's governor. he could try to pass legislation, sign legislation, but instead, again, it's remarkable, he's actually going in and pulling people out, elected officials, taking them -- using -- >> i think that's going against the will of the voters. >> it's going against the will of all of the voters who voted for these people to do exactly what they were doing. so, again, it's the opposite of small government conservatism. it's big government authoritarianism and i can't imagine republicans wouldn't be concerned about this, because if a republican can do that to a democrat, what happens when there's a democratic governor who doesn't like a law and order republican state attorney.
when he says, especially they want to like rhonda sanchez they like that he likes the fight. that he's angry. they can't figure it out. it's one of those things that many politicians have had to deal with. it doesn't fully translate. one thing that i think is really important, we should all remember, it this feels of republicans wouldn't be as big if rhonda santas out the gate seemed much more interesting to voters. we've talked to the people that worked on other campaigns. the non-trump and now and desantis campaigns. they say they saw vulnerability and him. not in. trump in desantis. saying, i should have gotten the space and trying to take on trump. then at one point, the guy who we have anointed, seemingly anointed, it doesn't seem like he's going to be able to get the job done. that's something that he's as he's figuring out this ability to reject his campaign which we see almost every single primary, he has to figure out how to tell that story and also have
only cared about maintaining power. i'm a proud gun owner and believer in the second amendment but after 19 children and two teachers died, the republicans wouldn't even allow us inopportune 80 to talk about ways to protect our kids. it is why we have to do something now. but what happened in uvalde was not just about guns, it was about neglect. the neglect of rural texas. the neglect of the systems in the state that are supposed to keep us safe. that failure hasn't been isolated. i'm running against ted cruz because everything that we have seen in the state as been nothing but taking care of rich people while the poor people, the working class, get screwed over. we've seen bribery and corruption that is appalling. political stunts that are tragic, and when our senator goes to cancun while texans are fighting for their lives in a winter storm, that's just indefensible. >> joining us now is texas state senator roland gutierrez,
and i hate ted cruz. and no republican senator jumped up to say, no i like ted cruz. senator cruz has gotten elected and reelected in texas not because voters like him but because the word republican appears beside his name on the ballot. senator cruz will find out next year whether that is still enough to get him reelected in texas. tonight, senator cruz has a new democrat opponent running for senate. >> out of one of the darkest days, the people of uvalde became more than constituents, they became family. we joined together to demand change. do something now. police saw first hand how our leaders only cared about maintaining power. i'm a proud gun owner and believer in the second amendment but after 19 children and two teachers died, the republicans wouldn't even allow
dichotomy. you either have to fire up the base or you can reach out across the aisle. remember democratic voters are people who also want to see progress. they want to see things get done. and what president biden has been able to do in the first few years of his presidency is not going where republicans wouldn't come along. things he could not get them to do he went and did them himself. the inflation reduction act. the biggest investment in tackling climate change degeneration. he did that with republican votes. but he was able to get republican votes for gun safety bill. able to get meaningful things done with republicans. for him that his fundamental. i think that is what voters want to see. you can bet that will be a central piece of his pitch for 2024. >> obviously it's going to be a part of his pitch. can you just confirm that for us? cause you've done a lot of campaigns. you did work on the biden campaign but in this age of trump do you think that message in this environment is going to work? if it is central to the presidents reelection campaign? >> i think it won't only work i
administration. and he had an approach to deficit reduction that included taxing the wealthiest and asking corporations to pay their fair share. unfortunately, republicans wouldn't entertain revenue, as part of this discussion. but we think we've landed in a reasonable place that recognizes that there's a democratic white house and a republican house, and ultimately, some bipartisan compromise is needed for the legislation to pass at the end of the day. >> so good to have you with us this morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me. memorial day weekend travel has already broken pandemic-era air travel records twice, and despite the large crowds, the airlines and the faa have been able to keep up. cnn's pete muntean live at reagan national airport. so it's been good so far. do you expect that to continue? it is early. it's 8:5 eastern. >> we're through the first wave, rahel. it's been so far, so good. the second wave now is the big question. all of these people coming home,
