Lipstick. those with the days. that, where the chance of palin making a political comeback and the ways peyton was considered a pre-trump. she was really the kind of salvo by john mccain who ended up the big donald trump upon obviously. it s very hard to figure out exactly what is going to happen alaska. they re doing rank choice voting for the first time, which is confusing for people to analyze, it is confusing for voters. it is unclear how that is going to resolve itself. there s also a very big senate race happening right now in alaska. where lisa murkowski, who in 2010 lost her primary and their brand as a right in and ultimately overcame that, and won her seat for reelection. he s up again facing a very real challenge. why? because this whole conversation has been about how she voted to impeach donald trump. alice to you on that. lisa murkowski, she s been storied representative within the center from alaska and quite a campaign in 2010. she s been there ever since.
I would never vote for him, minorities would run from him. well,fr that s not panning out either. in fact, when it comes to minorities, the opposite is the case. hispanics are more favorably inclined toward republicans than ever before.e. the democrats haveev a historyef ignoring what hispanics really wantin. and what they want is to protect their family. they want more in order. t they want to be able to protect their faith and they love this country and believe in the american dream. lo a a and now republicans view their own party more favorablyor than ine the pre trump years. soso if that s trumpmp with diminished influence, i d hate to see trump with actual w influence . . so whatever trump decides to fourr his, in 2020 ideas are what is the real threat to the swamp? although the never trump ninnisl know that inl a second term trump s agenda would be summed up in one sentence. nold more mr. nice guy.r. so on the chopping block wouldou
I am one of two former synagogue presidents in the congress, along with senator jacky rosen. i ve got the i ve got on all my doors. i m really jewish. but aipac can t stand the idea that i am the clearest, strongest jewish voice in congress, standing for a simple proposition, that there is no way to have a secure democratic homeland for the jewish people unless we achieve the political and human rights and for the palestinian people. that s it. last i checked, that was the policy of every democratic and republican administration, pre-trump, of this country. but aipac has completely gone off the rails, and they are trying to end my career because i won t follow in line with their view of what it means to be pro israel. and of course, donna edwards, who lost in maryland, she spoke out early this week, rejecting,
Listen to liz cheney give that kind of speech, it s very, very clear that her long war against donald trump is just getting started here, that whatever the outcome of the 1/6 committee s investigation and whatever the outcome of her own republican primary battle this summer in wyoming, she is making no bones about her intention to continue the fight against him and drive him out of the party or at least drive him out of american public life if it s at all within her power to do so. jonathan, is she preaching to the choir there speaking at the reagan library? are those the folks that need to hear her? yeah, i think there s a mixed bag out there, don. i think the audience sort of pre-trump gop stalwarts who don t like the former president, there s going to be also people there who are more friendly with the former president who i think probably voted for him twice. i think she s trying to sort of convert some souls, don, if you will, in that charge.
Moving forward and moving into november? well, i don t think there is one particular bellwether. this georgia primary is an important one, getting a lot of attention as it should and donald trump does and will play a role in this race and other races. but if politics are about people, then campaigns are about candidates, and what we see is generally and this is true pre-trump, post-trump and in the future, good candidates with good campaigns win, and bad candidates with bad campaigns lose. it is why we see brian kemp winning in georgia over david perdue who didn t have much of a record as a senator, and lost his re-election. in north carolina, last week, madison cawthorn lost because madison cawthorn was the reason that voters voted against him, not as a proxy for or against donald trump. what we see in the endorsements that trump made, his magic number is around 30, 33% of where the core trump base is there for whom ever donald trump endorses. after that, it is up to the candidate and their campaigns to get those voters.
Direction the gop and pennsylvania is going to go. these are two very different candidates to people outside of the race. but to people inside, republicans inside the gop in pennsylvania, they saw someone who was a little more centrist and establishment with mccormick and reminiscent perhaps in some ways of the republican party pre-trump. and so, if he moves forward, this could signal that not everyone in the gop in pennsylvania is looking for something as trumpy as mastriano and certainly not barnette. weigh in a little bit if you will how we heard from dr. oz and his opponent mr. mccormick both talking about the importance of votes that had been cast by mail could be the difference here when, of course, president trump railed against them so much in 2020. well, i think what candidates are realizing is that every vote counts. that they want to actually encourage some confidence in the electoral process despite what
I m serious, we don t have people in congress who can make regulations, that can make it work. i think we can look to the western countries in europe for how they are trying to limit it but you need you need controls on this. you need regulation. you cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell. we are there. trump opened the gates of hell and now they re chasing us down. that s hard, that s hard. this is your observation because you ve been covering this for days. i m not here to defend elon musk but, look, one of the things he said he wants to do who has been pointed to by some experts that could include discourse on the platform is authenticate people. get rid of what he calls the spam box, try to make people have real identities. would that go a long way in stopping some of the targeting, some of the harassment? i don t know but a lot of the changes he s talking about making, making the algorithm transparent. giving people access to the stories of what can and can t be seen, that s another thing that
Immigration, they re worried about crime, they re worried about the ability to make ends meet and those are the sorts of things if they feel they re not getting coverage from a certain media source on the things they re worried about, they ll go find it somewhere else. does that mean republican narratives are beating democratic narratives? when i hear you say they re worried about crime, i kind of hear a republican narrative. i don t think being concerned about crime is necessarily a republican narrative. i think a lot of swing voters would push back. i mean talk about the story a lot. i think the media does but this is a moment at least in the research i m seeing, swing voters in the middle, their priorities look a little more like the priorities of republican voters. back in 2018 i would have said the opposite. you had swing voters in the middle worrying about things like pre-existing conditions, health care and didn t like donald trump very much. in 2018, those swing voters probably looked a little more like democrats but this year for the midterms, it s the opposite. i thought trevor said last
In ohio. yes, everyone is watching ohio in part because of trump s influence in that race. he endorsed j.d. vance recently. j.d. vance has no political experience. since then j.d. vance, according to one or two polls, has moved up in the polls, perhaps even taking a slight lead. including against josh mandell, who is the more conservative, christian conservative candidate who people like senator ted cruz are behind. everyone is watching this race to see if trump continues to have influence in the party, not only with his endorsements but if he can actually get voters to follow his lead. i have been talking to republicans for many months about this, and this is also a question they have to republican operatives in d.c. so it s not just us that are going to be watching, it s also people in the republican eco sphere too. what is vance s evolution tell you about the state of the gop? he was a cnn commentator and now he s tucker carlson s favorite. right. and he was anti-trump.
Both biden and noah about the state of democracy. to me, it felt different than in past years pre-covid, pre-trump even. to me it felt like president biden wanting to talk about democracy versus autocracy, which is which is one of thinks favorite themes. it is. from the time he announced his candidacy, he announced that and it was a key insight and people kind of ignored it. now we see what s going on. i think he really did, the key phrase was that you just had up there, democracy is not a reality show. that s what is wrong with the culture. but don t we treat it like that? aren t we part of the problem? i try not to, and i think you try not to on this show. a lot of us do but a lot of people don t. that s the problem. that s the other problem with it. trevor noah i thought had a fantastic media critique that he left hanging in the air at the end of his address. let s go ahead and show that as well. if russian journalists who are losing their livelihoods as
