select committee to investigate the january 6th insurrection. it seems the gop leader is trying to stay close to trump as he can for 2022 as it approaches. is this a smart midterm strategy for mccarthy and his party as new revelations about the former president continues to roll in? well, there is nothing really it s not surprising. it s shocking what we hear in these books. we re not surprised. people know what donald trump is. mccarthy only has one option at this point, and that is to stay tethered to donald trump. my guess is donald trump gave him a list of five names that he said these are the names that should go to the select committee that you should appoint, and kevin mccarthy will listen. right now donald trump is a better fundraiser than kevin mccarthy. he s better connected to the base. if the base doesn t come at it
their empires throughout society. that is really what we need to be talking about. it s not just about being anti-civil rights, it s about beating down marginalized populations throughout the world. are you concerned that donald trump s base doesn t really believe in small l liberal, small d democracy? that s one of the reasons why i remain a never trumper, because i think every healthy democracy is going to need a conservative party, but it needs a conservative party that believes in the fundamental tenets of liberal society, including free speech and all of the civil rights. unfortunately, trump s wing of the party has never subscribed to that. it s a liberal, populist nationalism that has been suspicious of all the concepts that underlie the open society and that have been foundational for the united states at least for the last 50 years, if not
you want to talk about bias and algorithms, it has been exploited and the challenge going forward for google and facebook and everybody in this community is to figure out how to root out the disinformation that is spreading and allowing conspiracy theories to take hold and that is a lot more dangerous i think that whether or not what percent of people work at google are donating to democrats. this is a very popular thing for the president to say for his base because google and all of big tech are saying we are on the left, almost 100% on the left, but we are playing straight down the middle and i think the president s base doesn t believe that. i think the bigger questions right now are the fears about privacy and antitrust and what will be done at the capital about that. to the degree that republicans
his side at the moment. he s now fourth down from second in the latest cnn poll. and while sanders campaign raised an impressive $18 million in the second quarter, his fund-raising total trails that of both former vice president joe biden and mayor pete buttigieg. the latter candidate with far less national name i.d. on the plus side for bernie, his base of supporters remains very enthusiastic about a sanders presidency. but that base doesn t appear to be growing. so here to discuss, my candidate of the week, bernie sanders, is a guy who knows all the numbers, cnn s senior political writer and analyst, harry entin. har harry, break down sanders slipping poll numbers for us. what s this about? let s take a look at where he was pre-debate versus post-debate and look at all the candidates and see how that debate may have changed things. biden is still in the lead, but he has fallen down to 25%. but what we see now is kamala harris has jumped up to second place and bernie sanders has
that base doesn t see something, maybe not now, just like the tea party, didn t see any action that is a question, those that feel like they didn t do enough. i don t think that is entirely fair. i think there is a portion of the base that wants to reverse the status quo, that wants to challenge the systems, but that is not the entire democratic party. they want to see trump get out of office, they don t want to see big huge reforms. and i think they like the discussion of these ideas and are not planning on throwing out the bums if they are not implemented. they want a more progressive agenda, but not necessarily the same. is it od that not a single presidential candidate is not running on impeachment. couldn t you stand out by doing that right now. there is a climate change guy, everybody has a thing, nobody grabbed i m going to be
