of this party, that's why i am calling gop 2024 a race to the bottom. >> ruth, ali makes the point you've been talking about for a long time, and i remember i think i spoke to you in 2015 or 16, when we talked about mussolini, and you had an analogy between trump and mussolini, not just with the lies, but the fake humor. it is so interesting what you say about power and the debasing of voters with dishonesty. there's a poll out today from cbs which shows, four gop voters who say honesty matters most of them, donald trump gets more than 60% support. and 70% of the republicans i think say they trust him over their own friends and family. that's not because they think he is george washington university,. they know he is a liar. it is to do more with the fact that this is about power, right? this is about the followers and the cult leader. >> some of them do believe him. this is why he started so early with the loyalty oath.
rule of law and the rules of democracy. they are also dependent on violence. the point is that when a party becomes yoked to the destiny of a lawless authoritarian, his goal is to debase them and bring them down to his level. and he makes them complicit in his crimes. and so, a kind of spiral of radicalization happens where the party, and now the party elites some of them are under indictment, under investigation. they become more extreme and they take positions they never would've imagined they would take. this is why seeing the journey of this party, that's why i am calling gop 2024 a race to the bottom. >> ruth, ali makes the point you've been talking about for a long time, and i remember i think i spoke to you in 2015 or 16, when we talked about mussolini, and you had an analogy between trump and mussolini, not just with the lies, but the fake humor. it is so interesting what you say about power and the debasing of voters with dishonesty. there's a poll out today from cbs which shows, four gop voters who say honesty matters
challenge right now. a lot of debt there. europe has kind of met in terms of its recovery. the u.s. is putting itself on the ugly block. at some point that changes and when that changes, the debt and deficit picture becomes more important at a national level, at an international level in the market. you could see a selloff in treasuries. you could see a debasing of the u.s. dollar and that's something folks that are holding most of their money in dollars should be thinking about. >> rana, we'll leave it there, thank you. just ahead, ukraine ramps up its attacks at sea. the country targets an oil tanker just days after attacking a russian warship. (dad)) we got our subaru forester wilderness to discover r all of the placs that make us feel something more.
america, and here he is both debasing and defacing the country. i like how the white house is trying to distance themselves from this person who showed their fake breasts outside on the south lawn. it wasn't just her/him, by the way, but the two women next to him who had their breasts removed, showing the scars from that procedure, performing on the south lawn of the white house. most people go there with a sense of reverence, wearing a tie and suit. people are showing up and defacing that great house. and joe biden, he invited all of this. the idea they would distance themselves is preposterous. he made that happen. >> brian: nobody is antigay. you live your life. this is not the point of this conversation. i do wonder about the emphasis of an administration with so many pressing issues to give an entire month, pride month, to give up the white house lawn, and to call the people he was looking at the bravest people he
when they're really on the side of china or, you know, globalization or globalism, and against their own electorate. isn't that the case? >> undeniably. and it's infuriating that in blue states, where we could have more enthusiastic candidacies and campaigns, we often nominate these rhino republicans. and right now, the only area code where funding for ukraine is universally popular is the 202 area code, because out in the country, people are wondering why we don't care more about our own sovereignty. i think it's debasing for our own leaders to go there and pay for the pension persist of ukrainian government officials while here in our country we have pension funds for our police and fire fighters that go unfunded. and when you see the extent to which we're willing to pour cash on an historically corrupt country, it is as if we have learned no lessons from the past.
just graceful and debasing content. it's a wake up call. your monologues nailed it. we are watching the erosion of our morality in this country, and it's the children who will suffer the most if we do not find it in ourselves as a people to demand that our children be safe and secure and innocent. especially online. and think about how when i was a kid, growing up, military leaders, i mean, you thought of macarthur, you thought of dwight eisenhower, one of the most incredible military geniuses of courage and the bravery and now we're seeing men in dog masks in this weird, twisted, demonic, frankly, demonic poses in military spaces. i mean, i just i america has to understand what this is all about here. this is not about just liberty. this is about children in the message this sends to our children. everyone's disposable, every
part of a political pawn scheme by putin. so as we celebrate brittney, i'm sure he will be saying, let's not forget others that are there are in russia that has been the victim of putin trying to play this geopolitical game. >> john heilemann, there isn't anyone who celebrates the release of brittney griner without talking about paul whelan, and paul whelan did an interview yesterday, his family has done multiple interviews saying that bringing brittney griner home was the right thing to do. there's only one pocket in the american discourse that doesn't approve of the return of brittney griner to the united states of america. and it's only important to note, because it is a marker of this sort of debasing of u.s. foreign policy, because during the trump administration, he, too, had some success in returning political prisoners and
russia, along with opec and the saudis. now we understand from the saudis, will go into this more with marco rubio, but they are claiming biden asked them to delay the announcement that the going to reduce their production after november, in other words, after the midterms. was joe biden colluding with saudi arabia? opec nations? the russians? to manipulate an election? >> clearly, joe biden was attempting to collude with multiple form powers to interfere in america's election. it is as clear an example of corruption as you will ever see. what makes it all the more humiliating and debasing for our country is that when donald trump was in office we were energy rich, we are energy abundant, overflowing.
nations, saudi arabia, that also now includes russia. so i want the countrthaty to understand this. now, we understand from the saudis and i have it right here in fron t of me, will go into more detail into this with marco rubio. but the saudis are claiming joe biden asked them to delay their announcement that not only will they not produce more oil, but they're going to reduce their production. and will you please do it afterb november? in other words, afteer othrer, the midterms, was joe biden colluding with saudi arabia, with opec nations, with even the russians to try and manipulate an election to make them look better than they really should look? well manip, clearly, joe biden s attempting to concludecollud with multiple wie foreign powero interfere in america's election. it is as clear an example of a corruption as you will ever see . and what makes it all the more humiliating and debasing for our country is that when donald trump was in office, we werewere energy rich, we were energy ab abundant, we were overflowing.
who shoot at our sailors, but we do and the reason we do is because joe biden hates american working class people so much that he would rather have saudis pumped oil and hardworking american men. there have been far too many presidents who have made this oil pilgrimage to saudi arabia, and it is particularly embarrassing and debasing when joe biden does it. >> tucker: especially when it's not necessary, the united states has the right largest recoverable oil reserves in the world, but he won't allow companies to tap them. do you think he will bring up the record on trans rights when he's in saudi arabia. i think that's the most important issue, he has said so many times. >> it seems like joe biden in the mainstream media for that matter seem to be focusing on the things that matter less than what expression. why is it that our government and our media are less concerned about the murder of u.s. sailors at a u.s. military installation on our soil than a foreign national in istanbul who is a
