Dont wait call today. Code now and ask about the bosley guarantee central. Today. And second welcome back. Its wednesday, april 10, right now on cnn this morning, a Civil War Era Abortion Law Reinstated in arizona, igniting a problem for republicans that donald trump was trying to tamp down President Biden, questioning israels war strategy against hamas and elevating his criticism of Prime Minister netanyahu and House Republicans delaying their attempt to impeach Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all right 6 00 a. M. Here in washington, theres a live look at the Nations Capital on this wednesday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us problem leave it up to the states. That was Donald Trumps Big Announcement On Abortion Rights on monday. But it didnt take long for voters to be reminded what leave it up to the states actually can look like. The state Supreme Court in arizona upheld an 18, 64. Yes, thats correct. 18 64 law. The bands all abortions with only one exception for the life of the mother. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. The law was written before arizona became a state and before women had the right to vote trumps announcement earlier this week was seemingly designed to help republicans appeal to a broader array of voters. May have backfired just seven months before the Election Voters in arizona, of course, a key swing state that could decide who wins the presidency, but go to the polls in november with Reproductive Rights on the line. And in their hands, trump has former President Trump has repeatedly expressed pride in the fact that he orchestrated the demise of Roe Versus Wade something that the white house is more than happy to remind voters about onethird of all women of reproductive age. Now live in a state with an abortion ban. When the president s predecessor handicapped three Supreme Court justices to overturn roe v. Wade. It paved the way for the chaos and confusion were seeing play out across the country today Abortion Rights have not lost a single time when the issue has been left to voters, arizonas trained general calls ruling a stain on the state and Governor Katie Hobbs said, shes ready to fight for the fight over Reproductive Rights. And then near total Civil War Era Ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state as governor, i promised i would do everything in my power to protect our reproductive freedom all right, are panels here now, former senator doug jones, david froms, staff writer for the atlantic and sure. Michael singleton, former deputy chief of staff at hud in the Trump Administration welcome all. Thank you very much for being here. David, from i want to give you the first word on this as you look at how this played out in arizona, its its almost the perfect storm and encapsulation of this issue in a single situation, a law from 18, 64 being reinstated well, the Abortion Debate is one of the rare cases in 20 american 2024 were american democracy and politics are working the way theyre supposed to so long as roe v. Wade was in place, it created perverse incentives for everyone in politics. It radicalized people wanted to restrict Abortion Rights and gave them very unrealistic ideas of what they could achieve and it made defenders of Abortion Rights complacent because they look to the courts to do the job and the controversy never went away. I never never was resolved in any way because there was this Background Law that everyone assumed would always be there. Now, the Background Law is gone, and voters have to go to the polls and decide what is a resolution that america can live with. And were discovering that america is a 70, 30 nation on Abortion Rights with 70 wanting some version of Abortion Rights and 30 wanting very restricted. And the 70 will win it will have ramifications up and down the ballot in 2024 lot of republicans who in years past counting on roe v wade, took extreme positions that they themselves did not believe because it was a free vote. Why not . There was no, no downside risks. Are now discovering, wait a minute, i may have to act on these words i said, and then when ive acted, ive discovered is banned in Vitro Fertilization and women across the country and menn two who want to be fathers are angry at me and what were going to see is an energized Democratic Party and i think after the chastening lessons of 2024, republican party, that is less radical on the issue than it used to be. So to your point about the way people would take this as something that they could could say, i do want to show senator jones what kari lake had to say in the immediate aftermath and dogs being overturned. This was back in june of 2020 and she was talking about the arizona law that has now been put back in play. Watch what she said im incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a great law thats already on the books. I believe its ars 133603. So it will prohibit abortion in arizona, except to save the life of a mother senator john. So she said, its a great law and shes incredibly thrilled this contrast significantly with what she said when this happened yesterday, when she said, i oppose todays ruling and im calling on katie hobbs in the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that arizonans can support that seems to crystallize and youre asking seeing me if that makes sense . No. Absolutely does not make sense except in the context is david was saying of folks that are now realizing that the dog has caught the car and they dont know what to do. They dont know what to say. They did not think through what they were saying. And in the moment because they were simply pandering to a base of voters in the republic and party. A very extreme prolife movement. And now theyre caught and all of a sudden the same thing we saw happen with the ivf ruling in an Alabama State legislators were running around with their hair on fire saying, oh me, oh, my we didnt anticipate this. We didnt see this coming. Well, theyre right. They didnt because they dont think it through. They didnt think it through. And thats exactly where we are as david described a minute ago. And youre going to see more of that, i think in the near future sure. Michael, is this the issue that will put it how you want save joe biden, sake donald trump. Its possible. I mean, youre looking at a 10,457 vote difference in arizona granted in 2016, former President Trump had a higher vote margin than President Biden in 2020. Yet, im not certain that that will really make much of a difference. Donald trumps path to the white house in november will be through a handful of battleground states. He has to maintain north carolina, regained georgia, arizona, nevada, wisconsin he cannot afford to lose one of those four states, either georgia, arizona, nevada, whats continent and expect to win so this idea that abortion is back at the forefront, again, is isnt saturday to meet it. And i understand the former president wanted to say return it back to the states and i would have argued just hit return it back to the states and allow voters in those states to vote on it. Because what were seeing is when people vote on the issue hello, we want to protect this, right . It is not just democrats, kasie, its republicans as well. So lets remind everyone just where and how donald trump has talked about this issue over the years. Were going to start in 1999, watch this im very pro choice. I hate the concept of abortion. Im prolife. There has to be some form of punishment for the woman. Both sides will come together and for the first time in 52 years, youll have an issue that we can put behind us at the federal level. It could be state or could be federal. I dont frankly care i dont frankly care. I mean, that is hes all over the map. I mean, thats the Biden Campaign can use that pretty easily absolutely. Theres no question about it every one of those will be seen over and over and over again. I think in states and you name it, its going to be seen and not only that youre going to have their surrogates out there who have said the same thing. Youre going to have lindsey graham, youre going to have tim scott, youre going to have all of these every surrogate that donald trump puts out there has the exact same position and im im im like i agree with you. I think it is going to be a Killer Energy jones, use the analogy of the dog that caught the car, i think this is more like the coyote running off the edge of the cliff. Its on the realizing hes 10,000 feet up and theres nothing that ethan, what does that give you that Wily Coyote Animation next time you come up here, but its not just donald trump. This is this is the republicans have, over the past generation, been pushed by their own internal dynamics and positions that are sustainable. They dont believe, i mean, donald trump, you can see this is one of the rare cases where you can actually feel sympathy for him. So Donald Trumps in politics to collect applause into steel. He has no views on abortion whatsoever, any way you want to do it. He doesnt care he just was what he learned was the incentives within his party where to be as extreme as possible in a completely insincere way. And now suddenly words have meaning, words have results, and therefore words have costs. And once words have costs, politicians measure their words before now, words did not have cost at least on the republican side and they didnt measure that well scuffing really quickly for the image gallegos should be if you want to win in november, youve had to leave this alone. Women dont want you coming after their Reproductive Rights. Is that simple . Republicans need to understand that all right, we are, obviously, weve got a lot to talk about here. Were going to keep talking about this throughout the show, but up next here, why House Republicans are holding off on sending the Homeland Security secretarys impeachment to the senate, plus a long trump confidant facing sentencing today for perjury.

It was supposed to happen today and now its not gonna be told next week, Senate Republicans want more time to make the case for a full Impeachment Trial. Democrats sticking to their plan were going to try and resolve this issue as quickly as possible impeachment should never be used to settle Policy Disagreements so senator jones, you obviously were around to see the Impeachment Trials in the senate whats going on here in terms of this, this really does feel like i remember i went on Maternity Leave during the first impeachment of donald trump and i thought to myself, oh, my gosh, im never going to get to cover for an Impeachment Trial in my whole career. And lo and behold, a year later, i was proven wrong and youve heard critics like ken buck say impeachment has just become a social media stuff, right . It is, its just totally weapon us. This is a Policy Difference and i think whats going to happen ultimately is theyre going to figure out a way to give maybe some time to the Impeachment Managers to come in, make a quick case, get the vote over and get this over with. This is, this is just wrong. I mean, this is absolutely wrong to put Policy Differences on the floor in the form of an Impeachment Trial. You really think its gonna get that far that were actually going to see people making statements on the floor. Its possible. I think its very possible. I didnt have to. I mean, they could clearly take one vote and have these charges dismissed. But i think in order to make sure that that republicans, democrats have some somewhat of work, some semblance of procedure. Theres at least a chance there will be some small. Trial, not necessarily even at trial, but at least statements on the four it gets it over with pretty quickly. David, from how do you think about this . The fact that this would be the first time in history, Something Like this would happen. Well, imagine that the Social Security administration was underinvested in computers for decades as a result, there was a crisis and all the checks were late. People would be mad. So you i have an idea. Lets impeach the Social Security administrator. What will that accomplish . The computers will still be broken. Are the checks will still be late its not actually that one person who made the relevant decision that you care about. Its its decades its a poor ned which fortunately is not true in the Social Security administration. So the border doesnt want the immigration system doesnt work. You have massive over stressing of the asylum laws. Thats all true. But this guy sitting at the top of the bureaucracy, he couldnt fix it if you wanted to. I dont know whether he wanted to or not. It doesnt matter. Its not a persons malfeasance as or miss reasons or error or mistake. Its just a system breaking down. So vote the money that is needed to get people at the border to have the trials of Asylum Claimants rejected, heard, and rejected more quickly. Do the real work to fix the system youre not the day after this impeachment ends with however it does. Yeah, every problem will be there will still exist. All right. Weve coming up next here.

Lets get straight to our meteorologist Allison Chinchar. In our weather center. Alison, what are you saying . Yeah. So a lot of rain has fallen in this area about five to eight inches has already fallen just in the last few hours across portions of kirby ville, texas. Thats where the Flash Flood Emergency is Law Enforcement reporting feet of water into peoples homes. They are trying to organize some water rescues. There. Its one of many areas thats dealing with some of those Flash Flood Warnings but not surprising, the pin oh, creek. Thats incur bill rose ten feet and just six hours now, bringing that up to major flood stage. And again, its one of the few of several areas that have already reported at least four to six inches, not just in texas, but also areas of louisiana and mississippi as well. Weve also got severe Thunderstorm Warnings and even a couple of tornado edo warnings possible. One right now in mississippi and the other one you can see that down in extreme southeastern texas, just east of houston, ongoing, that is likely to continue throughout the day today because we have a severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect for east texas, we also have a Tornado Watch is in effect until 9 00 a. M. Central time across portions of louisiana this is all part of the greater scope today of Severe Weather as this system is expected to move eastward. So that also means those threats will shift eastward as well. So the potential for strong tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail and yes, even flooding is going to be significant, especially down here along the gulf coast region, essentially from east texas all the way over into portions of southern georgia. Theres also an increased threat for ef2 size tornadoes, or even stronger. So again, thats going to be a concern today. Again, is this system continues to progress eastward into states like louisiana, mississippi by lunchtime, alabama by the evening rush, and eventually into georgia by this evening. All right. A lot to look out for their Allison Chinchar for us, alison, thanks very much. All right. Its 24 minutes past the hour.

Your online data, your privacy, and how its used by companies could be headed for a Major Overhaul republican congresswoman Cathy Mcmorris rodgers and democratic senator maria Maria Cantwell recently teamed up to unveil the american Privacy Rights act. Its a bipartisan, bicameral plan that if passed, could create a National Standard regulating how companies can use your data for the very first time. Joining me now is one of the architects of that proposal, Congressman Catholic more drug, Mcmorris Rodgers of Washington State congresswoman. Thank you very much for being here. Thank so this law could potentially rival what many people in europe have already been enjoying in terms of regulations around how companies can use the massive amounts of data that are collected about us when we do simple things on our phones each and every day. Can you tell us what your proposal . Do . Yes so this would this would really be historic has been long overdue, almost two decades in the making for us to establish a National Privacy Data Security law, protecting individuals personal data online. So its establishing Privacy Rights for individuals and it helps all of us, but especially are children. It is different than what europe put into place that has caused a lot of concerns among Small Businesses, in particular, and what we believe because of the work that we have done, it limits the amount of data that can be collected to begin with. So data minimization. And then when your data is transferred, when its sold, you will be notified that your data is being used and you would have an option to opt out of that. So it really is establishing the Privacy Rights of an individual to know whats being collected, how its being used if its being sold, if its being used in targeted advertising, and you would have more rights over for how your data is being used. What would the recourse be if, for example, a Company Wants to sell at my data and im notified how according to if this bill goes through as it is, how would i be able to stop that . Well, it establishes a private right of action for the first time where an individual would be able to bring forward a lawsuit if theres been substantial harm. So we set this threshold in the legislation and the pros proposed bill that there would be if there is substantial harm that has been caused because of the way that your data has been used or sold you be able to bring that lawsuit forward but for the businesses, we we are interested in targeting businesses that just somehow inadvertently are using data wrong. If you are not selling your data, youre not covered at all. Theres a threshold for Small Businesses and we want to make sure that were really going after the bad actors in this bill what is the position of the Major Tech Companies on this Legislation Facing . Book google. Do you anticipate significant pushback from those groups yes they they collected right now unlimited amounts of data. There is no limit on the amount of data that is being collected. Sensitive data, tracking your location, your Search History biometric data, theres so this is for the first time, there would be a limitation put on companies as to the collection of data. And then the individual has a right to know whats being collected. So theyre not going to be happy about that. And how it curves the targeted advertising. If youre an individual and you like to get those ads, you go online and you search for a pair of Running Shoes and all sudden youre flooded with all kinds of theories. Shoes. Yes. Im familiar, but you would have you would have the you would be empowered for the first time to determine whether or not you want your data to be used like that what do they collect on us now that they wouldnt be allowed . The collect on us under this law they right now its unlimited, right . I feel like i have an example of something i would say right now. We dont even know. So you would have the right to know whats been collected on you if theres a profile thats been put together, then you would have a right to know whats being collected. And then if it is if it is especially for our children under the age of 17 if theres a prohibition on the collection of Sensitive Data on our children on the tracking the targeting of kids online the dangerous algorithms that have been developed for the purposes of just keeping eyes, you know, keeping our kids eyes or all of us actually on the screens that is especially helpful for our kids, but its really foundational as we think about ai. And theres large datasets and how they are going to be used in the future. This is foundational to protecting our privacy online and for individuals to be empowered to actually know whats being collected and then if its being sold or if as being transferred is going to empower individuals to have more control over that why should americans be confident that congresss capable of regulating, tack them . You mentioned ai if its taken this long for us to get here on data privacy, how is congress prepared to grapple with, i mean, theres papers today are full of the story about meta and them working with openai to create computers that can actually think for us. I mean, is congress prepared to deal with the implications of all this . Weve had number of years, a lot of members on both sides of the aisle, house and senate that have been working on establishing a privacy right believing that it is important that individuals are somehow protected online and that we have more control over the data thats being collected that we, that we know whats actually being collected. And so theres been a lot of work done years worth of work, and im really encouraged right now that senator cantwell as the chair of Commerce Committee in that the senate and myself as the chair of the house committee, have been able to hammer out a bill and reach an agreement on some of the preemption of the state laws right now, theres a a patchwork of state laws that yards as even more confusion. So theres been a lot of work done and now we have a moment to act. This would be historic and its really important for all americans, but especially our kids. All right congresswoman Cathy Mcmorris rodgers, chairwoman of the energy and Commerce Committee. Thank you very much for your time. I really appreciate it. Okay. Today, the Trump Organizations long serving formal financial officer, alan weisselberg, will be sentenced to five months in jail for lying under oath to the Attorney General about the overvaluation of Donald Trumps triplex apartment weisselberg, who has already served time for tax evasion, is a longtime trunk trump confidant and has been at the center of trumps business in his dealings, including, if you may remember, the former president s Hush Money Payments To Adult Film Star Stormy Daniels weisselberg is executive one, correct . Yes. The Bottom Signature i believe is alan weisselberg. I was asked again with alan weisselberg. I was instructed by alan in the office with me was alan weisselberg. Mr. Weisselberg, for sure. Alan weisselberg. Alan weisselberg. Alan weisselberg. Alan weisselberg, who would know the answer to those questions . Alan weisselberg okay. Our panel is back with us David Weisselberg has been fiercely loyal to trump. How do you see trump world reacting to this today . I want to widen the frame on this question a little bit. Yeah, go ahead to deal with something that you will often hear from defenders im organization, the trump organized. Yes, maybe they allied crazily to their banks but they didnt default on their loans and the banks cant possibly have been fooled. Every banker new york knew that donald trump was what he was. Who was, who was harmed . And its important to answer that question. So the answer, the answer that people need to understand when they asked this question, is there there were three parties to these transactions. There was trump the borrower lied about the security of the loan. There was the Bank Employee who made the loan and collected a bonus for the loan. And there was the Bank Shareholder who did not receive the payment that the bank was shareholders should have made, should have received for the risk that the Bank Employee was taken. Okay. So i think when people say the bank, they are confusing the people who made the loans were not the people who would suffer if the loans went bad. They didnt own the day they were the employees of the bank. So one of the things that is going on here and in the background and the reason this case is so serious guess is, i think a lot of these Bank Officers did know that trump was lying to them and they were working with him against their shareholders, that there was a larger scheme of corruption here of this bad borrower who should have been paying 23 Interest Rate to like these are unsecured loans. This is what you pay when you get a credit card. And theres no security how do you shouldve been paying 23 . You shouldnt be getting the loans at all. The Bank Officers took risks for their bonuses and they stuck their Bank Shareholders with the risks that the one would go bad. Those are the victims and it is not a victimless crime when you steal from shareholders. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I absolutely agree. And i think theres another 0. 2 as a prosecutor, its not always about the loss to the victim. Its about the profits that could not have been obtained. But for the false statements or the Trump Organization made money off of lying, they made money off of giving these false statements. And that is just a thats just not sustainable. It could shatter the entire system up there. So theres its both the victim and the false prophet that come in to play here, right . So sure. Michael, i think we shouldnt lose sight of the fact that the reason its being sentenced to anything is because he lied. Yeah he did lie and hes trying to protect someone who worked for for 30 plus years, but i will say to the point of the shareholders maybe they didnt make as much money as they could have made. But i think there was not an american out there who could really care about how much money bankers and finance years and i think most people think they make way too much money as is. And so this is why ive always believed that this particular case in comparison to all the others, really want impact trump. That greatly politically. I think this is complicated, david, explain this was shareholders what does david from talking about here . The other cases are easier to understand. Again, he paid back the loans, david, maybe he got a better Interest Rate, but who out there would not want a better Interest Rate on their credit cards. Theres anything else for that matter. Heres why the ordinary person could care. We are a decade and a half away from the grave as finance mitchell crisis, since the Great Depression caused when banks go under because at back of the shareholder is the taxpayer if, if if loans go bad, ultimately it is the taxpayer who pays and these Bank Officers who recklessly went to man who was lying and whom they may be new was lying that is part of the Systematic Risk lets get Everybody Saw the cost of in 2009 were still paying the political, the political in the financial crisis a generation lost opportunities.

President biden maybe left off another president ial ballot. Alabamas secretary of states as he might not make the ballot because the Democratic National Convention Takes Place after theyre august 15th deadline i, President Biden and the japanese Prime Minister are meeting for bilateral talks today during an official visit to washington, the bidens welcomed Prime Minister kishida and his wife at the white house last night ahead of a formal state dinner tonight. Cnns Arlette Science joins us now, live from the white house with more hello, whats the goal of the visit . What do we expect to see well, okay, so you, President Biden and japanese Prime Minister kishida are hoping to showcase the close relationship between the us and japan at a time when they are both trying to blunt the economic and military might of china, japan has really been at the cornerstone of President Bidens indopacific strategy as he sought to strengthen alliances and partnerships in the region japan has been central to many of the groupings that the Biden Administration has announced, but has also served as a key ally of the us in its support for ukraine amid russias invasion there. Now, this will all be on display in just a few hours when the president welcomed fishy to here for the full pomp and circumstance of a south lawn arrival ceremony. The two will have bilateral meetings and a joint News Conference as well, and theyre preparing to announce a host of initiatives. And part of that includes upping the military, and security ties between the two countries. A Senior Administration official say that will include changes Us Force Posture in japan as theyre trying to integrate the us and Japanese Military in some ways, Officials Say that this will take some time to play out and in strategize on it could take a matter of months before theres an actual plan in place. They will also be implementing and creating a military Industrial Council hello, to talk about ways that they might be able to coproduce defense weapons. Theres also expected to be major announcements when it comes to space at a time when japan has shown keen interest in land in an astronaut on the moon. And then theres efforts to really improve people to people ties at a time when Student Exchanges have been low. But all of this will be capped off by a the lavish state dinner tonight as they are trying to roll out the red carpet, stressing the closeness of this relationship between the two countries. All right. Arlette saenz, force at the white house. Arlette fix very much for that President Biden has previously criticized israels Bombing Campaign in gaza as indiscriminate and its military actions as over the top. Now, hes using a new word to describe netanyahus approach to the war. He called it a mistake in an interview with univision, watch this i think what hes doing is a mistake. I dont agree with his approach. I think its outrageous that those four three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out on a highway where it wasnt like it was along the shore, wasnt like there was a Convoy Moving or cetera so david, from these biden comments come as tony blinken was overseas, we showed this earlier in the show saying that he was asking, wheres the outrage over hamas . So that was the message he was given, but it seems to be a bit at odds with what the president was saying. There. I dont think its hard to understand what the administration is saying and doing. They have delivered every moreover, material aid that israel could need. And theyve delivered every form of intelligence aid they have just signed a new deal for the longterm purchase of f 15 jets over the next i dont know how many years that is going to assure as real as Air Supremacy in the region into the indefinite future. At the same time, they have criticisms, of the way israels handling this Military Operation so it is not hard to see that you can balance both material. You have a friend, your friend is making important decisions. You dont think theyre all right you back your friend, you provide your friend with everything your friend needs, but when you first make your criticisms privately and then when they go on heard the criticisms become more were in more public, been pretty obviously what israel is doing is not working. There is not in six months hamas is still in the fields, still a fighting force. And meanwhile, there are very high cost to civilians and passersby that this is not a successful operation, yet. And the white house is within its rights to say so first privately and then publicly senator, yeah. No, i agree. Totally with david and i think if you look back, we dont know a lot of what well said Behind Closed Doors but in november, december, but i think if youd look back and start seeing what Vice President harris said when she was in selma alabama. Thats when you first really i think first started seeing the administrative patient stepping up their criticism a little bit and has been ramping up ever since. And i think its appropriate. I mean, what people are seeing over there is horrific and theres gotta be some changes. So i think members of congress, even folks like tim kaine and others are now beginning to question sales without conditions and i think youll see more of that as you go and putting a little bit more pressure how do you think the president should be balancing the Progressive Political pressure . Hes getting here in this country with from my perspective, i think he needs to be the president United States, not necessarily trying to balance the pressure from the right or the left within the party. He needs to be the leader that he yes, i think hes doing a very good job. He has always been on the one hand, a staunch supporter of israel, but also one that has advocated as a twostate solution. Hes very sensitive to the plight of whats going on in gaza right now but thats a very different thing than hamdan that trying to navigate politics within a caucus that can be very fractured on these issues. All right, lets go down to this congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greenes crusade against House Speaker mike johnson, facing some pretty intense backlash from House Republicans in her strongest threat yet against Johnson Greene sent a letter to her republican colleagues tuesday making a direct pitch for johnsons removal at several gop lawmakers say theyre frustrated with the chaos. Green is stoking and that theyre not on her side its an impossible job. The lord jesus himself could not manage his conference for this, cant you just cant do it. I think mike johnson has a great human he doesnt lie like the last guy. I think people dont like to dysfunction so thats not good for our side. And with the one seat majority does only take a couple of people to create dysfunction. I think Speaker Johnson is working his guts out doing the best he can with a lot of feral cats feral cats sure. Michael Marjorie Taylor greene the House Speaker, mike johnson just did a new interview this morning. Were working on trying to turn some of that around, but basically he said he tried to call Marjorie Taylor greene. She basically wouldnt take his calls and then he also criticized her as saying it was very dangerous to be throwing this around right now. And she hopes that he hopes that shell realize that in the end. I mean, i do significantly question what why does she think this is a good idea . I dont know what with a one seat majority theyre already likely going to lose the House Democrats have an advantage, and this this is brilliant political fodder for democrats to be able to market and every single very tight moderate republican district to say these folks cant govern, theyre not doing anything to move the needle forward on immigration, but not tackling the ukrainian issue. Theyre just not doing anything. People dont want that. I wish casey i can get all the republicans together on it, on immigration on Reproductive Rights, and on congress and say, what the heck are you guys doing . Because as a strategist, were losing, were seeding whatever advantage we potentially could on any of these issues to our democratic counterparts. This is nonsensical to me, so it sounds like we actually can show you what what mike johnson had to say about his i mean, i guess its pretty predictable since like to keep his job still. Heres what he said pulling a motion to vacate are moving the speaker right now is exactly the opposite of what we need to show the country we cant close the congress downs. Thats what will happen. They will blame us right . And so it wont hurt our chances of growing the majority or our party or President Trumps chances for his election . And because all of our fates in some sense are tied together. So its really a very dangerous thing to be waving around a motion to vacate right now when weve got to demonstrate that we can keep this country moving forward. And i hope that you realize that in the end, and i think others are trying to make that case so thats the current House Speaker, david, let me show you what the former House Speaker, Kevin Mccarthy had to say about march. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently watched this the one they have always found about margery. Shes a very serious legislator that deals with policy and the best way to deal with anyone like that is sit down and talk to him day drawing okay. So mine for Taylor Greene is a licensed cloud of american politics, but i dont think we should make a very serious legislator. I dont think we should make her the center of the story in order to keep his job. Speaker johnson is willing to sell out the cause of ukraine. He has we are marking now the sixth month were approaching the sixth month of the inaction by this House Of Representatives on the president s october 20th requests for aid to Ukraine Ukraine equipped Men And Women In Combat are dying. Ukrainian cities are being destroyed all because of Speaker Johnsons determination to keep his job by not allowing a vote that could be one if he would allow republicans and democrats together because hes sick knowing that he is going to do it. I mean, she is focused on that and saying im going to do this. If you do that this has no he doesnt have a ukraine strategy. He has a save his job strategy because signals. Hes going to do it and then he doesnt do it. Its six months and people are dying and a war is being lost in cities are being destroyed. What he ought to do is say, there is a majority in the House Of Representatives for this bill, it will be made up of about half my Republican Caucus and almost all the democrats. And i going to vote for the House Of Representatives, vote and not just a majority of the majority, but his determination to save his jobs, losing a war, and his job is not that important. Hes not that important. And i dont think we should allow him to villainize as Marjorie Taylor greene when he is the main protagonist in the most shameful episode in American Foreign policy in two generations absolutely a crave. But david, on that for me, theres another, theres another story thats connected to this that has nothing to do with Marjorie Taylor greene, per say, but it is the fact that robert f. Kennedy juniors Campaign Lead can campaign person in new york says they want a contingent election. Theyre not in it to win it. They want to throw it to the House Of Representatives. And thats what we want. Thats who we want to elect the president of the United States a dysfunctional House Of Representatives. I think that thats a big story that people need to Pay Attention to, that a vote for robert f. Kennedy could put the vote for your, your vote for president United States, where they dysfunctional house of representing. Thats a very interesting angle on the rfk story that we have not yet covered here, that i will make sure that we do continue to cover. Sure. Michael to davids point about ukraine. I mean, it does seem like the House Speaker has an incredible Well Opportunity to be a savior for the west in many ways is how potentially you think about it if you want to be a big figure on the world stage, thats not necessarily how you do it. Most americans today that point actually supports supporting ukraine. They understand that russia is a villain that we have to defeat by any means necessary. I agree with david. Take devote this idea of allowing one person to take the entire conference, the entire body hostage because of whatever ludicrous grievance they have is absurd to me, and i respect mike johnson. I know him personally, but he needs to take his tough stance. Say, i am the speaker if you dont like it, bring your ridiculous vote, and ill do what i have to do to try to keep my job, senator, what what does the white house think of johnson . Oh, look, i wouldnt pretend to to try to speak for the white house. What are folks that you talked to in this town . What do they view as his strengths and weaknesses . I think the strength is that he is the speaker of the house. But his weaknesses is that he doesnt know how to use the power. Bi is there and does not have a clue about how to use that gavel. And i think i think democrats are always hold up nancy pelosi as the standard for someone who understood the politics, who understood that the gavel, who understood how to use the speakership to do the right thing . All right, at least what she perceived not everybody agreed with her, but she didnt think she moved things forward and mike johnson seems paralyzed completely out of his league when it comes to trying to exercise the gavel of the speaker of the House Of Representatives. Table got 30 seconds in the show. You agree . Yeah. Go to Hakeem Jeffries and say from time to time im going to need 25 votes i dont not on policy issues by the need 0205 votes. There must be something you want from me must be something you wouldnt go. Fair enough. All right thank you all very much for great conversation today. Really appreciate having you here at the table. I thank all of you for joining us would have wonderful story about arrest can you dog and taiwan, maybe well bring you that one
