but gavin newsom is not driven crazy. it doesn't bother him. he's never apologized. he's never revised what he said before. he just kept going. this is a man who will say anything. people who will say anything, tend to be willing to do anything. like joe biden, he has consistently run as a moderate and falsely, back in 2008, mayor of san francisco he promised to eliminate homelessness in the city within ten years. that didn't work out. he's never apologized. homelessness has grown by double digits under his stewardship. if you want to understand who gavin newsom really is, if you want to appreciate not just the dishonesty, but the deep malice at the core of him, desire to hurt other people and indifference to human suffering that has been the hallmark of his governship, watch this clip from 2020. >> clean and sober is one of the
governship, as a disappointment. her radical policies have crushed the state. >> and who would have thought that we would be glued to the new york governor's debate, incumbent kathy hochul and republican congressman lee zeldin who voted to overturn the 2020 election had such divergent narrative on nearly every topic, at times it seemed like they weren't even on the same stage. >> your name was on the amicus brief in support of a supreme court decision to overturn roe v. wade. i don't trust this. i really don't trust this. >> can i respond to that? >> real briefly, please. >> i mean, listen, i stated that the first day that i'm in office, i will declare a crime emergency and suspend the pro-criminal laws because there is a crime emergency. >> can i respond to abortion? let me talk about crime. there is a lot to discuss and a whole lot at stake. let melee it out. nbc's correspondent ron allen
provides insight into the key role he played leading up to january 6. drew griffin joining me right now. so tell us more about what's to be expected? does he have good reason to be very nervous about it potentially interfering with his upcoming trial? >> i would think he is a little bit nervous tonight. his trial will go tomorrow. he tried to file a motion to stop it. it doesn't seem to be working. what you will see tonight is how steve bannon is even more powerful now years after he left the white house, after he was fired, than he's ever been . and he's inspiring countless mega believers to follow his lead. steve bannon has never been elected to any office, never confirmed by congress for any position, but potentially has more influence on the political direction of the nation today than almost anyone besides donald trump. >> we believe in the ballot box, and we're winning everywhere. we're going to win 80 to 100 seat pickup in the house of representatives, we're going to win the senate, the governship,
of missouri is because he was forced to resign amid multiple scandals including allegations that he forced a woman into a nonconsensual sexual encounter it, and photographed it and blackmailed her about it, and that's why he was forced out of the governship in missouri and since decided he is over it and the people of missouri should be, too, and he has jumped into the u.s. senate rait race in that state as well. since jumping into the senate race, he has faced new allegations from his ex-wife and physically abused both her and their children, wow, things like this just keep coming up with this guy, nevertheless, an internal poll for greitens' campaign shared with reporters today reportedly shows him leading the republican primary field for missouri senate, if you believe that poll, with the guy, with that record, the leading candidate for the united states senate from missouri of that's missouri. how about georgia? the leading republican candidate
they usually utilize like drop boxes and those sort of impact even though it is states that are doing that, and this is after the 2020 election. so, abby, i know of course, the president is under enormous pressure from the civil rights leaders who say that he is late to the game here, but he is all-in, and not mincing the words and went so far as to say that those who are blocking the bill to george wallace and other segregationists, and other republicans were offended by that, and senate majority whip dick durbin said this when asked about the president's rhetoric. >> it is stark. i will concede that point, but don't overlook the reality that in 20 states governed and led by republicans in the legislature and governship, they are taking step by weary step to make sure that fewer americans are going
greg abbott about his chances of holding the nomination? >> he in a tense moment. it feels like he's facing more scrutiny than he ever has on his governship, starting with the coronavirus pandemic getting some criticism from his right on how he's navigated that as it relates to business shutdowns. it clearly seems like an agenda designed to be responsive to his right flank. he already has at least three primary challengers, current sitting chairman of the republican committee, alan west, and so it looks like he's being responsive to this, look overall
think when stacey abrams immediately endorsed senator manchin's proposal, it became the stacey abrams substitute, not the joe manchin substitute. >> what does that tell you? he says it they're looking for opportunities to work with joe manchin, the second stacey abrams name is associated with it, it is like a lightning rod. >> i think that is actually a badge of pride that senator manchin should wear. there is no fighter more fierce than stacey abrams for voting rights in this country right now. after she was, i think, unfairly denied the governship of georgia in 2018, after her opponent, secretary of state, encouraged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, purged hundreds of thousands of voters from the roles, she didn't gave up and got out there and continued to register people to vote, for voting rights, for everybody, for republicans and democrats and independents and help bring georgia into a true democracy, now threatened by the voter suppression laws signed by the
given the thousands of different visits i've had over the last 25 years in politics, whether it was congress before, the eight years of the governship, those folks are still there who care whether it's a farmer in the midwest caring about being ability to export soybeans on or whether it's somebody at the port, i mean, people still care about the way in which we're linked to the rest of the world given the impact of the economy at large and their pocketbook or wallet as the case might be. similarly on the deficit issue, people that i talk to, little small business person, he cared about or she cared about getting their finances in order. the same thing as they sat around the kitchen table. they're not being focused on by this president, but i believe at a grass-roots level they're out there and need to be discussed. i remember the sons of saddam hussein, and if you went
photos out there. >> that he knows of. >> 30 years -- >> it takes 30 years to see his year book. >> i apologize for mistakes in my past and i continue to learn. michael jackson and other things he may have done would be embarrassing to him from a racial perspective. yet, yet, today he's the governor of virginia and for the first time he's acknowledging quote/unquote, these mistakes after he's been nailed by a photo that's come out. >> i found it not credible or believable. >> the other issue is from a planned political perspective is what i saw in that press conference was a man who is prizing his own governship, it's more important to him that he remain governor than that his state political party or that his national political party be made whole. he's placing his own interests
>> his attorneys seem embarrassed. it is embarrassing when a client who is supposedly is lodging a complaint is not familiar with the complaint. they try to object. doesn't work. mcrae just ignores his lawyers and keeps talking over them. >> i told you, right? this is the greatest radio show in the history of radio shows. so, this is the story this american life is following. republicans in the wake of them losing the governship, the democrats had a scheme, we're sure of it. there must be some problems. the democrats must have done something wrong. so they get this local guy in blade en county, north carolina, to stand up on behalf of the republicans and lodge this complaint. and it falls apart. and his complaint goes nowhere and it is a really big embarrassment in that moment. but here is the boomerang. >> complaint dismissed 3-2. dream of the republican
