This week it was extreme Magma Makeover Currency Addition after a locking in the republican president al nomination donald trump has set his sights on remaking the Republican National committee in his own image. On monday the Disgraced Ex President tightened his grip on the party even further using his newly installed rnc Leadership Team which includes his daughterinlaw to push out dozens of officials at the committee. In total, when and 60 rnc employees got the pink slip instead it is merely an extension of the expresident s personal operation focused on avenging his grievances. While trump enjoys that almost unprecedented level of control over the National Republican apparatus, as max burns warns in a new piece for the hill, quote, republicans willingness to bow to trump on it nearly every issue is making their party staggeringly unpopular with voters. Case in point the retirement of colorado republican congressman can that which is done capitol hill and tuesday because buck, who had indicated he would not seek reelection, in the full shocked his colleagues by not saying he would leave his post next week. In an interview after his Announcement Buck took aim directly at the expresident remarking, quote, Everywhere I Go in colorado i hear that people are not happy with trump. Now, remember this isnt some middleoftheroad republican. Buck is a member of the ultraconservative extreme right House Freedom caucus. Proving that this isnt nearly a matter of ideological differences within the parties. Actually a question over allegiance or fealty and what it means to be a republican in Donald Trumps gop. The disgraced expresident has become the sole decider of who does and who doesnt think inside his partys ever shrinking tent. Lets bring in my canna for the hour. Rick wilson cofounded of the Lincoln Project and author of running against the deadly plot to Save America From Trump and democrats from themselves. Also with us hayes brown writer and editor for msnbc daily. Rick, trump allies told politico the artsy oak hall is aimed at cutting bureaucracy, at the committee level. Ive got to say this doesnt seem like the expresident is in this for promoting democracy or trying to rebuild a healthy Republican Party. It is just the expresident exercises complete control over the apparatus of the Republican Organization to exploit it for his own purposes. Absolutely. What they have done is basically like a mafia bustout. They take over a business. They run up its bills to they can never repay. When they are done they burn the place down for the insurance money. What you have seen at the rnc they fired the research staff, the communication staff, the political staff, the outreach staff recommended all the early voting programs, bank and go programs, vote by mail. What is left is to sleuth money into the trump crime family whats left is just the bare bones to keep doing the fundraising, put it under the rncs hat and ship it off to trump. This is now not a political party. It is a Shell Corporation set up to find Donald Trumps legal defenses, and it is burning down 30 years with you agree with Republican Party or not, for 30 years, they have mechanically, operationally built a machine that wins a lot of elections. Now trump has burned into the ground for money. I would like to say even if somebody who is not a republican doesnt care for the Republican Party you need a Healthy Party apparatus to have a functioning democracy in america. You are left with one real party, and as you said, a Shell Corporation. The other part of this i wanted to talk about is how much of this moment of this exercise is a glimpse into the future of donald trump Winning Foreshadowing What donald trump would do to the American Government is, in fact, he, his cronies, his kids, his children, everyone are in power once again. The mystery of jared and of anke working in government having the network increased by hundreds of millions of dollars, the mystery of Jared Kushner getting a 2 billion Venture Capital deal the second he was out the door, from the white house, trump is s Willingness Attorney to into a pay for play protection racket. The graft and autocracy and basically converting the u. S. Government into a giant scam for trump, is a preview of what we will see day one. It should not surprise anyone. This has always been a guy who if he found a doll on the floor of a bathroom and was told to pick it up with his mouth, he would do it. He wants money more than anything else. The rnc is fully embracing trumps election lies. They establish the socalled Election Integrity unit led by none other than election denier Christina Christina bah who wrote a book pushing the big lie. How dangerous is it to have a figure like that on the committees payroll . I mean, first of all, im so old that i remember the 2012 autopsy in the rnc when after losing mitt romney lost the election to barack obama, the rnc sat down and said, how do we ask and . Had we get more people to vote for us . I have watched as every recommendation and that autopsy has been put to the side in favor of just making sure donald trump is happy. And making sure he is able to endorse candidates even if his endorsement doesnt mean that much. In case he is on your side. The fact that the rnc is putting in someone like Christina Bob into this position , it is really just stressing how much theyve decided to go to leave the actual job of connecting with voters to democrats. The fact that they dont really see much of a purpose in trying to convince people to vote for them at this point. Basically their entire argument boils down to he is not a democrat. He is trump. Thats it. As long as someone is not a democrat and supports trump, that is the basis for getting support of the rnc at this point. So, putting Christina Bobb in this position is short, really just tanks any outreach efforts. Any sort of real Election Integrity that they might be wanting to do. Making sure people can get to the ballot, cast their vote. That simply will not happen. To Quote One Of My Favorite shows, succession, these are not serious people that are being put in these positions. Rick, wanted to play for you the sound from trump today at a rally. We try to avoid playing any trump sound but this was particularly vile. He was really about the Economic Impact of President Bidens policies on the automotive industry. That he made this very bizarre remark. Have a listen. Now, if i dont get elected, it is going to be a bloodbath for the whole attachment thats going to be the least of it. Its going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. The Trump Campaign has and said his remarks were referring to bidens policies writing imported cars. But, you know, im not sure i believe that. Nonetheless, we will take them at their word for it. What you make of that type of rhetoric where he is using the kind of language in this election season already . Lets not forget this is a man who sent a violent mob to hang his Vice President. Right. This is a man who has embraced a number of the violent groups that support him. Proud boys, three percenters, all those folks. The old joke of taking trump seriously but not literally. Thats a mistake. You must take trump literally. Thats the one Campaign Promise i think you can guarantee trump will keep. There will be bloodshed if he doesnt get his way. It is something americans really reckon with and understand sooner than later that when trump is making these threats there are millions and millions of his supporters who dont look at the rhetorical flourish or some sort of funny little remark in a speech. They look it as marching orders. I think a trillion, and upon everyone in the country including a lot of republican Elected Officials who will not but should this kind of rhetoric. Im the kind of guy who believed donald trump who says he will be a dictator from day one. On lease the Mattila Terry military. Even including this. We have also heard this in this rally, hayes. Trump ratcheting up his anti immigrant rhetoric on the topic of immigrants were accused of committing crimes. Hes a, quote, i dont know if you call them people. In some cases they were not people. In my opinion. Hes not just referring to those that are committing crimes. Hes trying to use that to paint an entire group of people the way he did when he came down that escalator announcing his run for the first time when he called Mexicans Killers and rapists. Absolutely. There has been no sort of consequences for donald trump using this kind of rhetoric. Not that we have seen for him personally a little early. Yes, he did lose in 2020. The fact that he has slept through these primaries, even with the amount of opposition we have seen from people, republican primary voters, continually voting for haley or trying to get someone else in the mix. Trump is continuing to double down on this frederick. Having had no real pushback from anyone in any sort of position to check m. He didnt have any pushback from the rnc. They continue to fund his campaign in 2016, in 2020. Now had no pushback from his fellow Elected Officials. Or at least very little pushback from them. Those who remain in office at least you mentioned ken puckett earlier stepping down. Part of the transformation we are seeing in the Republican Party is the one like buck who are unable to take what im worried about is who is going to step up to replace them. Who is going to be in the halls of congress and how what are they going to be willing to let trump get away with. Right. Please take a round after the break. How team trump is not objecting the campaign from the courtroom. First, My Friend Richard Luisi with a Breaking News update. Breaking news from new jersey.

Are you kidding me . You got to be kidding me. Rolling towards the cup, and its in the hole what an impossible shot brought to you by Comcast Business. If theres one thing donald trump does know how to do it is how to selling lemon. It is no shock that the self proclaimed Law And Order candidate reportedly claims to guess what the American People from the courtroom. Nbc news now reports trump advisors plan to counter his heavy trial scheduled by trying to portray President Biden is an attempt to, quote, imprison his political opponents. A rather hypocritical approach by the very man who may lock her up. A mantra of his 2016 campaign. Trumps team plans to muddy the waters between trump and biden legal problems creating counterprogramming events focused on policy and push to delay the trials as long as possible. The question is, will it work . Even those hearing out the plan arent really sure. The Top Trump Advisors and, quote, indictments are not ideal. We would rather the boss not be in court but they will be an attempt to make lemonade at of lemons. Rick and hayes are back. Rick, do you see the strategy pinning out . Is turning lemons into lemonade like trumps team arguing is hear . Is it likely to work or it really doesnt matter for his voters . They like a criminal and he is leading into it. They do like a criminal. They do enjoyed the image of trump as some sort of martyr. For the rest of the American Voters and by the way everyone who is influenced by that decision by the campaign to do this is already a trump voter. Anyone who believes in trump is some sort of martyr they have to be in various Biden Campaign or administration is already trump voter. For the rest of the American Voters, there is no amount of mayonnaise in the universe during this chicken you know what any Chicken Salad this is a desperate strategy by desperate people. At the end of the day, i dont think it is going to convince a single swing voter in this country or move a single democrat over to trump in this country. Especially because what they seem to be forgetting is that we will be hearing the evidence of trumps ongoing pattern of criminality every single day. It wont just be the, they are mean to me what about hunters laptop. It will be talk about donald trump illegally stealing classified documents. It will talk about donald trump engaging it about four. They will talk about him engaging in malfeasance at all different levels. It plays to their base but their basis in trumps pocket. To that point, hayes, republicans are doing their part. You have trumps team saying part of the Campaign Strategies should can attack about the ex president being a threat to democracy, which is what donald trump actually is to our country . Youve got a trump advisor telling nbc hard to say we are a threat to democracy when you are trying to imprison your political opponents. The question becomes, does it work to bring joe biden into the mud with donald trump because that is what republicans are trying to do with the Scam Impeachment Hearings on the hill. With all the other stuff theyre trying to do against joe biden and hunter biden. They are trying to make the bidens look like trump. Is that an effective strategy for this election for donald trump and his team . I dont believe so. I dont think theres enough 15 to make this work. The second you are willing to go beyond the, oh, well, joe biden has legal problems. The second you go beyond the top level you realize there is nothing there. Trump and his circuits will keep repeating it and repeating it and repeating it. So that he gets lost in peoples heads. For a good, unfortunately, large member of voters, that will work. Like rick said those people are probably already going to vote for trump anyway. In terms of trying to actually get independence back on board, i really dont see that being the case. It is going to be put in trump when he is not on trial during the week doing what policy focused events on the weekends. Thats a great idea, but when has donald trump ever been able to sit through anything remotely serious without delving into the sort of issues that turn off most voters . Messaging discipline is not something donald trump is known for. Please take a minute. Senator schumers rebuke of eating Benjamin Netanyahus leadership calling for change. Thousands of lives. We will talk about that and more. More. Dont take if allergic to nurtec. Allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. Most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain.
