desantis, he has really nothing to back that up. there is no more pathway por him. your questions to chris christie are important because whether it's ron desantis or chris christie, how do you try to make a case for a general election and still get out of your primary? 2012, chris christie hugs barack obama, then president obama after superstorm sandy and spent every way possible to figure out how to explain that away. a similar situation i think happens now. how do you approach democrats and independents and say i can win this general election and you can't even explain how to work across the aisle to get out of your primary. that is problem i think all of those candidates have. >> no question about it. shane, great reporting as always. basil, appreciate the science fiction reference there. people who knew him in the house reference is great, for those of us who were there. alyssa, thank you. also this morning, canadian officials are warning that the wildfires burning in parts of the country, quote,

and world cup champion, brianna scurry, also the author of the book "my greatest save" the brave barrier breaking journey of a world champion goalkeeper. of course, brianna, you were the person to talk to about this. we all remember just how pivotal your performance was in '99. and so when you're looking at this, as a goalie and a national team veteran, what was your reaction to just how close that was? >> i was actually very astonished that we even got to the penalty kick shootout phase because that sweden goalkeeper was on fire. i mean, she made so many amazing saves. and it was just, in my opinion, fortunate that we went into the pks. and i knew alyssa was fantastic at pks. and i really felt confident that we would win. and i just -- my heart was broken for her because you could see on her face she couldn't
quote, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. also, not true. >> president trump started a commission to look for that in 2017. they could find nothing. they disbanded before they could even file a report. >> in 2020, mail-in ballots which would be more prevalent because of the pandemic became a new foil for trump's old claim. >> voting by mail is brought with fraud and abuse. when you do all mail-in voting ballots, you're asking for fraud. >> alyssa was the white house communications director for then president trump from april through december 2020. >> we had to pull together a meeting in the oval to remind them that many of our voters, particularly senior citizens, would vote by mail. that we were deterring people from turning out and voting in the way that they would.
become a thing? >> you're exactly right. if we set the stage for people to be allowed to change these characteristics about themselves, then why not take on the role of changing your race? >> and i found this online. there is quite a large r.c. to race change to another community and just like transgenderism, this happens to be afflicting young women more so than any other demographic, and they are taking on racial stereotypes and listening to subliminal videos on the internet that they think can change their characteristics and have them looking like a different race. you're right. just like on gender transitions, they play into a stereotype to reinforce the identity that they now say they want to choose. you mentioned young girls. here's one disturbing personal story. >> her name is alyssa, 15, said she has felt a special connection with japan. was born in ukraine but she now goes the japanese name miku miyuki. and to subliminal she said that subliminal messages that promise she will wake up and be
yet still he's -- as she eluded to, he's still a front-runner. "the new york times" had a poll out that shows him tied with the current president in the race. so what is it about trump that america's missing, right? listen, there are lots of good people i know in america that believe the 2020 election was stolen. they're otherwise rational, normal people. if you asked them what happened in the election, stolen. it's not just because donald trump said so. there's something going on in america that we need to get used to. we have to figure out what's eating america and causing all of this. trump may be a symptom of it. i think it's worth talking about. interestingly, alyssa worked for the chief of staff to the
of jamie. >> they're all active mes of the bar or at least they were at some point, right, when they're giving advice and, you know, he picked -- he picked his counsel there. he was given advice by lots of people. i know when i spoke to the president after the election and i said that he lost, he said, i'm not so sure i lost and that was only a few days afterwards so i don't know at what point he was convinced. i know alyssa has a different -- some different experiences with the former president, but, you know, if he believes -- like his lawyer just said, if he believes he really didn't lose and he was -- his right to fight, that's what you'll hear more and more of and will have this intersection between political activity, legal advocacy and criminal conspiracy and where do those meet? we'll find out. >> what were the words he spoke to you. >> can't believe i lost to this efing guy pointing to joe biden on fox news. i don't know if he convinced himself he did, in fact, win the election. i can't speak to that but the most compelling legal argument i
things that i know in america, they believe that the 2020 election was stolen. they believe it, they are otherwise rational, normal people and you see them walking around town with me, and if you ask them what happened on the election, they think it's stolen. i'm not sure why. it's because don't trump said so, but there is something going on in america that we need to pay attention to. because it's not just going to heal. trump will get swapped off the stage and that scab is still going to be left there and we need to figure out what it is that is eating america and causing all of this. >> trump may be a symptom of it and i think it's worth talking about. interestingly, alyssa worked for the former chief of staff to the president, you know, he is not mentioned in this document at all. >> he calls the secret service say that mike pence is in danger. >> it also brings us to georgia because he's actually mentioned in this indictment early on as telling the president, because mark meadows, who has been kind
i miss gendered. i meant person. i hate it when i do that. i hate it when you do that. is it fair that they fire all those people? it seems clear to me that beer shouldn't need a marketing department. >> they certainly did not lead alyssa who was the decision-maker behind that whole thing. i kind of worried about her. she knows all of this is a trickle-down effect from that single decision. you know what i mean? i wonder what she is doing and how many phone calls she is making to apologize to people. you don't need that much marketing for a beer. but if they fire the lower level people it would have looked awful. they had to fire the upper level. they lost a ton of money. modelo is now the number one beer. it's more expensive so it's not selling the same volume. >> isn't modelo owned by anheuser-busch? >> i think it is. they just shifted all the money over there. they now need to find a trans
