george soros, no $1 million, no $500,000. we reached out to the soros people. george soros has never met with alvin bragg, never spoke with him, never emailed alvin bragg, never been on a zoom call with alvin bragg, never given a dime to alvin bragg. in what world, in what world is alvin bragg a soros d.a. or animal, to disgustingly quote donald trump. only in the anti-semitic conspiracy theorists who dominate the american conservative movement. joe, quick point, republicans say they love money and politics. money is speech. even if he did give money to bragg, which he didn t, what is wrong with that? what objection could they have to the jewish billionaire holocaust survivor? i can t possibly imagine. the jewish international banker, my god, this goes back centuries. pick up the trope and go with it. yup. also something to point out that i think you pointed out, alvin bragg never met soros. he s never spoken to him on the phone. he s never done his zoom with i-
taylor greene, lauren boebert. let s not forget our friend santos, the guy who has taken lying to a new art form in politics. and donald trump. i mean, these are not winning faces for the republican party. you know, this thing about them coming after bragg, you know, the hypocrisy of this republican leadership group in the house is so stunning. first, i want to talk about fiscal conservative. you and i talked many times about what a lie that is, as far as they re concerned. they talk about federalism. you should leave local government alone. most americans don t understand the bright line that divides local prosecutors from federal prosecutors. local prosecutors are elected by people in their communities to enforce state law. by the way, they do most of the crime fighting in america. they do about 90% of the
yeah. i mean, look, there have been some who have suggested that trump could put himself in some legal jeopardy here, that this is a certainly, at a minimum, it s suggestive of a direct threat to a public official, to the manhattan d.a. some say it goes further than that. do messaged here. if you come up with a line whic rolling a big package. you combine it with that imagery, it is a provocative image, to say the leave. dangerous, incendiary. there s been a lot of discussions around the security that is being put in place to try to protect alvin bragg here in manhattan. joe, you guys made the point earlier. there is no doubt, we don t know what donald trump s supporters will or won t do if he is or isn t indicted, but what we have seen over the course of this
it is another to look like defending mr. trump is the new majority s main preoccupation. house republicans will soon vote on a promising energy reform that could put some moderate democrats on the spot. but good luck getting anyone to notice, as mr. trump s case dominates the airwaves. to have any leverage with mr. biden in debt ceiling talks, house republicans need to unify behind and pass a budget resolution. yet, they ve made no progress on doing so, as they hit the cable shows to talk about mr. trump 24 hours a day. republicans are foolish to feed the trump mob with a campaign against mr. bragg that exceeds their power and has no chance of success. claire mccaskill, you touched on this, the political incompetence of republicans since they take over. what d they start with? the mccarthy circus.
show. talk about taking something down. you took their argument down brick by brick, piece by piece. talk about how off they are, trying to paint this d.a. as some tool of a jewish international banker. yeah, it s become kind of fact on the right. as so many facts on the right turn out to be, they re not factual at all. we did some digging on my show into this nonsense. you heard stefanik say he got $1 million from george soros. none of that is true. alvin bragg, here the are the facts. he announced his candidacy for d.a. in 2019. in 2021, a pac said, we re going to promote george soros. someone gives them $1 million. they spend half a million dollars on alvin bragg s campaign. it s their own ads promoting bragg. no money changes hands. the color of change gave no money to alvin bragg.
