Struck good morning, it is sunday, march 10th and i am Charles Coleman junior. We just experienced the most funny week of the election season so far and it became crystal clear, surprise, surprise joe biden and donald trump are headed for a rematch. Long before they cross paths both on the road. Yesterday in a sneak peek of what store the two candidates have competing candidates. Sticking to the script of his state of the Union AddressPresident Biden emphasize the difference between his mystic view of America Versus donald trump. Down for an interview yesterday. Shouldnt have used illegal. It is undocumented. And one of the things i talked about order was the way he talks about these people and it turns out when im not going to do. I will not treat any of these people would disrespect. They build the country and they are the reason our economy is growing. We need to repair the border. Your great using that word. They built the country and language matters. While Barton Cashman has nearly completed an extreme takeover of the gop. Members installed trumps handpicks choices. I guess the prize. On wednesday Senate Minority leader majority leader received support Mitch Mcconnell and President Trump have not always been order this is a clear a lustration of how much trouble is pushing traditional republicans. According to politico donald trump is already forming around a name Montana Center steve daines who was an early supporter of his current bid. I would say it again, surprise. With the House Of Representatives already filled with it is hard to believe that this is at all good thing. Joining me now to discuss this is Jennifer Rubin and opinion writer for the Washington Post and a msnbc political analyst as well as the offer of resistance, how women save democracy from donald trump. And my friend, Michael Steele. Good morning to you both. Mitch mcconnell has been extremely critical of donald trump following january 6th in particular. His wife also resigned from her post as transportation secretary. This tells us what we already know about Mitch Mcconnell, he is a man without a soul. There is no line he wont cross if forced to and simply because he stepping down from to subtly initiate does not mean he has fixed his conscious so he and the others will fall in line. Already saw part of this when trump if you recall some in the bipartisan border deal. That came the senate and negotiated by one of the most celebrated senators. This party is both a call and a Fashion Movement in which there is no opportunity for dissent or criticism and they are all at this point enablers. Michael, todd young said he will not support donald trump in the general election. We have heard from senator Lisa Murkowski as well as midroute but romney who said they will not vote for donald trump either. This is unusual for lawmakers to not vote. New of the former rnc chair. Put yourself back in the driver seat. How do you deal with this issue when there is this very public fracture of your party going into an election that you want to win but you have members of your own party saying i am not supporting the nominee. In a normal circumstance it would be a problem because you think that would have a lot of sway and impact on how not just folds within the party see these events unfolding but certainly those outside. The problem here charles is that it doesnt matter. Those three voices are just three voices in what is a wild hurricane of noise by republicans were falling all over themselves to endorse and support trump. As a part chair as we just saw with the handover in the capitulation of The Rnc Competing Takeover By Donald Trump by installing his daughterinlaw to be a co chair of the rnc. Governor of new hampshire, was in africa an advocate. If the party is looking and thinking we have a crack in the same somewhere they realize they really dont and to the extent we have these outline voices saying something contrary which i believe is appropriate and i count myself among their voices, mitt romney and the like. It doesnt matter because the party writ large is lockstep very much to a first just said and there is no moving off of that whether it is a mcconnell or and everyone around town is just wake for if he showed support for nick he i dont know how you see a different outcome. I think it will be hard if she thinks she has any future ambitions in which is clearly a child party. Does that mean that we are looking at a party that has now fundamentally been changed from the bottom up and even after donald trump will never be the same or do you feel like i think thats why you have warmer republicans like my friend jennifer and republicans like myself looking at this thing in recognizing to your point this is much more like usually embrace party and you would have otherwise believe that this was something that took hold, took route fairly quickly in fact youre looking at the 168 members of the Republican National committee and about 144 of them are solid when you look at the countywide organizations and the infrastructure there the influx of donald trump support that has taken over and is rotting from. I have been arguing for a political enema for the gop for quite some time. I think it needs one. It will be harder and harder to do that as these roots take stronger hold. Jen, lets talk strategy. I appreciate consistency. I dont understand and maybe you can help and make sense for me. The criticism of joe biden as an old guy may be lacking some of his mental faculties were just sort of being able to stay on scratch in terms of his coherency. That to me is a very interesting critique when parallel against donald trump, when you just those two the gop has the right made, in terms of criticizing joe biden has been underestimated his entire life and the republicans have done so bigtime. All he had to do was make it up to the podium and say the state of the nation is strong. That is some of what democrats remember there is the he is too old. Lots of people have been bought into this notion. I dont understand how they could concede that someone who is supposedly an adult beaten them one time after another whether it has been on the deficit or the bill back for which became the inflation reduction act. Over and over again he has beaten them. You certainly beat up on Kevin Mccarthy when he got the budget deals so i think they have grossly underestimated him. Suddenly no for days you have this head lice. And the answer is he has been here all along attending that he isnt. If he continues to perform this way that narrative will have to give way to Something Else because it will be unsustainable for the media will continue with this. He really is no longer even the donald trump of 2016 which was nothing to write home about and so increasingly i think the press will be forced to cover that. Some of us have been remarked on that for a while and we will soon have some company. The narrative way mel had flipped on its head with the republicans. Dont call it a comeback i have been here for years. Thank you both Jennifer Rubin and Michael Steele for doing double duty and get you started on this morning. Coming up new developments in the Fulton County case involving trumps intent to overturn the result of lack fears we talk about the Inflection Point the country is facing and if the democrats are up for the challenge.

As you mentioned there is a controversial key king state. On the donald trump side yesterday as you mention into our speech. Trump is known from the zero erratic speeches jumping from one idea to the next. He said in true trump fashion it takes a genius to do what he does so it is worth noting this is his first rally as the Presumptive Republican nominee after nikki haley dropped out last week. Theres a lot of new stuff in this speech and almost all of it were specific criticisms of President Biden and not substance poly but personal attacks. To speak to the mckay pc you are talking about i have read it before. Its an poignant and it gets to something that we often generally have a soft and or blurred edges view of some of what Donald Trumps ministration look like attending. Describe a trump rally in one word. More than anything there is permission for them to behave and think a certain way. You couple that with ramped up rhetoric that donald trump use last night calling the president criminals saying immigrants are ransacking towns. Those two things together, attention absolutely captivated the crowd and that was the general election message he moved to give it. That was nbcs Jake Trailer In Atlanta in queue for that report.

Judge mcafee is deciding whether willis and his romantic relationship a special prosecutor nathan raid created a conflict of interest. Now lawyers for donald trump and his codefendants argued that the mere appearance is enough to remove him. As noted her camp disagrees based on precedent and if refiled this past tuesday ill argued for the defendants. Can point to any case because there is no case. Dragging her, a black woman and her reputation through the mud. It is almost like if you cant beat them, smear them. And while we await the judges decision the drummer will continue. This past week the Fulton County ethics board and a Republicanled Senate committee in a Georgia State house were said to hold more Hearings On Willis and his wrongdoing however the ethics board later determined that he has no jurisdiction over willis and dropped its complaint. And on wednesday the Georgia State and the committee who represents Donald Trumps co defendant heap merchant mostly repeat what was said in court this time being in a friendly room of republicans and having no prosecute there either. Still, it is important to know that even to commit the Committee Found there has been misconduct it has very little to no authority to punish willis or do anything about it but this multi prong assault on willis and her credibility right be enough to take their case in the eyes of a jury. If youre Keeping Score at home you may be wondering what does her relationship have anything to do do with donald trump and his codefendants guilt or innocence . The short answer is sports fans nothing, it doesnt, but at this point the strategy is clear. If you can influence joining me now is my friend and colleague superlawyer in criminal defense attorney. Lets talk. If you are one of the Defense Attorneys on trumps team do you think youre getting any traction with respect to this Campaign Going against willis . The judge has been there is really no way to know. At this point but offense has on their side but this three has the law on you bring up a really good point which is that no matter what is decided this is a virtually nothing to do with the Substance Prosecutor sometime i would push back just a smidge on that and offer one caveat. I think that in the case of donald trump because his followers and accolades are such formers email have still opted to try to put provide some of that information to Donald Trumps attorneys however i do agree with you the the likely would talk to me about the potential for tainting injury. Alton county is old black democratic space where willis stood the advantage of getting donald trump. Do you think this increases the chance bursaries and, this is a counting is overwhelming to. They are going to be likely not fans of trump and i dont this will change their opinion at all. The second reason is there Something Else you mentioned. It has nothing to do with the substance guilt some sitting , that is always a concern but i do think it is like should these meetings really have nothing to do with the substance and i think you can suss out who may be biased by Media Coverage of these proceedings which we are in this business and immersed in it and one thing you know that i know is that you will be amazed at how many jurors are simply not up to date on whats happening in the news. Their abusers and Fulton County who have watched
