>> i experienced it with the clinton administration, obama administration, biden, they go harder on democrats when they are not performing well than they are with republicans. then i think with democrats, they're sort of built this way. >> whiners. >> they fret. thank you, democrats, it is why the republic is still standing. the fretting is part of the whole package, which means people worry, they take policies seriously. the good part of the democrats. the downside is the constant, you know, like, it can drive you out of the business, but the constant whining, fretting and doubting. >> the constant whining for democrats is not a bug, it's a feature? >> exactly. >> elise, that's -- >> it is always -- >> that's not how we used to do things. >> it is always hilarious, though, to hear democrat administrations talk about how hard the press is on them. >> yeah. >> having worked in the george w. bush administration.

week. >> abortion, i have to say, abortion has been a huge issue. much larger issue than i even expected. i knew the overturning would make a difference. just nothing, the political earthquake that it is. >> state after state. >> among republicans, among people who called themselves pro life their entire life. the extreme positions state legislatures are taking, including a six-week abortion ban, i guarantee you jen is right, that made a big difference in jacksonville. i want to talk really quickly before we go to break about reading in mississippi and alabama. i mean, you know, two states i love, two states i've lived in, i hear they're 49th in this, 50th in that, and i roll my eyes. did you read about the mississippi miracle yesterday? mississippi's reading scores have shot way up. >> yeah. >> yes. >> the alabama miracle. i mean, it's really -- it's so

going to continue to go up on its own simply because of increased costs for social security, medicare, things like that. here's the interesting thing. if you look at the two republican plans, the just cut spending plan, which is this red line, there's some deficit reduction there. if you put the tax extensions back in, that deficit reduction almost entirely goes away. in fact, this little blue line down here is biden's plan. he would actually reduce the deficit when you get out to 2033 by more than the republicans under any of these plans. so, ironically, they claim they're the party of fiscal responsibility, but there's not much impact on the deficit when you get done with these tax cuts for the rich. >> biden's plan actually does better than the republicans'. what a shock. same as it ever was. steve rattner, you have delighted children across america, and i will say, because, you know, a million kids across the globe watch him on youtube.

time, if you look at how he has won his elections in the past. you have to win that primary to get to that general election. you already see him preparing to run to trump's right on the issue of abortion. then, obviously, it is a question that many have raised, is that a stance that will play in a general election with the american public? much less with floridians. you know, prior to this ban being passed, florida was the most pro choice red state in the country in terms of just the popular sentiment. so there is a feeling that he may have gone too far, and you do hear from even some republicans in florida who otherwise support him, that they wonder if this is going too far. i think the larger context is the way he has pushed this conservative agenda in florida. as part of this in-depth profile of desantis, i wanted to give people an understanding of how he has, as you said, transformed florida and really made it, a

concept. it's working, right? the economy, wages are growing, inflation continues to go down. the border, when title 42 went away, they feel like that plan is working, that the numbers did not end up being as high as they expected it to be. now, he's at the g7. does he have to come home early? yes, he does, to deal with republican dysfunction. there are consequences to what the republicans do. but on, like -- the polls are still lower than they would like, but kind of -- at least in every sector, foreign policy, with ukraine, the economy is slated to get better, getting the republicans in a box on debt limit, proof of concept, it's working. democrats will always fret, always. >> michael steele, if you look inside this poll, as well, for the bedwetters that joe is talking about, there's more encouraging numbers, which is the independent number. as you know very well, it is decisive in a general election.

stop and think about that moment in which you were in congress. even given the fraught political climate that ultimately led to the impeachment of a president in bill clinton, you still balanced the nation's budget. you paid its bills. now even reformed some long, sacrosanct institutions like welfare and the social safety net. this idea of getting big things done for the country mattered, even in the midst of political back and forth. that is not where we are now. it is performative b.s. in large measure. it is a lot of not even really good smoke and mirrors. it is sort of setting up these political narratives that basically push agendas that have nothing to do with solving the problem. now, republicans are acting like, you know, this is the hill

because of run away spending, it's what i was focused on. so i paid close attention to it throughout my adult life. begged republicans, even went on the hill and talked to mark meadows when he was in the freedom caucus. i go, "mark, stop chasing the conspiracy theories. do what we did. focus on where you can save taxpayers money. money the balance." you know, we balanced the budget four years in a row when i was there. four years in a row. it can be done. >> yeah. >> but you look at what these republicans are doing. i mean, the deficits and the debts exploded in record numbers under donald trump. what they're proposing now is just pure nonsense. it's just -- they're posing as small government conservatives, and there hasn't been a small government conservative in a position of authority there, well, in 20 years. it's a joke. >> no, easily 20 years. i mean, you're right, joe, you

themselves. they show up at everything. they give their time. i mean, it's part of his kindness, it's part of his political instincts, and that's going to be something that they really want to look at as the campaign heats up and the schedule gets even more brutal, if that's possible. but anyone looking at joe biden and seeing what he does in a day, i mean, i know you would be exhausted if you had his schedule and probably would take days off. i would. >> exactly. by the way, i'm taking a month off starting next week. >> i think you're taking tomorrow off, actually. >> i had a rough night last night. >> okay. as for the republicans, two top republicans in the florida state legislature are endorsing ron desantis for president, even before he officially announces his bid for the white house. during an event yesterday, the state's house speaker and senate president applauded the governor's legislative priorities, think about that,

after tax income would go up by 3.4%. $400,000 to $700,000, your after tax income would go up by 4.1%. everybody else, the bottom 80%, none of the bottom 80%, on average, would see their incomes go up by as much as 2%. these are highly regressive tax cuts that favor the rich that republicans want to extend as soon as they get enough control of congress and the white house to do it. >> what's your next chart? >> my next chart gets to the point you were making, joe, about the actual impact of what the republicans want to do on the deficit. if you start here, the limit save and grow plan, which is what is on the table right now in the white house, which, as we talked about last week, would cut 47% of spending from what we call discretionary programs, it'd save $4.8 trillion. as you pointed out, we'd give back $3.5 trillion.

biden when it comes to the fact of any major -- particularly the foreign issues they deal with together, this person. the president is absolutely on top of the facts and is cogent and understands it. they also felt he was probably too old to run for a second term in office, and you can't ignore all of the polls around the country that say this is a concern not just for republicans, of course, but for many democrats, as well. is there -- and i know i've spoken to people in the white house who are frustrated by this. warren buffett is called an oracle, and he is the same age as joe biden. i think joe biden is clearly mentally fit and on top of everything. he has an arthritic shuffle that makes him look, perhaps, older, unfairly, than the four years he has on top of donald trump. there is a presentation issue. he gets tired, and they're trying to manage that by boosting kamala harris' ratings so she can take some of the
