fund-raisers yesterday but also in his remarks earlier today the president being rather frank about the political problems that democrats face. yesterday saying that both the ongoing issues with covid as well as the inflation challenge primarily because of the situation in ukraine have as he put it stymied democrats ability to move further with their agenda. and earlier also talking about the fact that yes, democrats do have two members in the senate who have held up some of the additional priorities but as he focused on republicans who he said are really as he put it a maga party at this point and even making a reference to yes, those kevin mccarthy tapes to show that the former president still has an iron grip on the republican party. the president trying to focus away from democratic divisions and spotlight those in the republican party. all right. mike memoli on what looks like a beautiful day in seattle. mike, thank you. and georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor gr
going all in on his attacks on elizabeth warren. but it appears to be, chris, a strategy to define warren as an elitist when it comes to anyone who disagrees with her medicare for all proposal. biden started with an op-ed. that happened on tuesday. he mentioned it at three fund-raisers yesterday, and watch this. she has things in her plan that are just not realistic. but when you question it, she talks about it as, you just don t understand, you sound like a republican. which is a talking point that is used by the other party. not by us. it s not who we are. it s an elitist attitude about using my way or the highway. you mustn t know what you talk about if you disagree with me. harris: chris stirewalt? it s where people use the term traction mustn t when calling someone an elitist, but i preach at that. it s working against warren. my advice to her is to hydrate, because it s going to be thirsty work up there.
but that s right. this follows a larger trend with hillary clinton where she s wanting to stay behind the white house, wanting to stay close to the white house here so i wouldn t expect her to get too far in front of the president but this is keeping her in line with obama. alex talk to me about what she has on her schedule after this one. she has more fund-raisers coming up in washington, d.c. she did her first round of those fund raisers yesterday in new york. she did three of them. they re keeping it at the lower $2,700 level per person right now. that s just raising money for the primary campaigns. then next week she heads to nevada, one of the first four early primary states then on to california to raise even more money after that jose. okay. alex seitz-wald, thank you so very much. i m told any minute now mrs. clinton will be introduced and we ll be keeping a very close watch on it for you and let you know. up next naughty by nature no more. you may know our next guest f
and a nod we have no one there. we actually don t have any, which is astounding to me. i know presidents need a break, but the president had a couple of fund-raisers and played golf over the weekend. he had three fund-raisers yesterday and on wednesday gets around to a consensus meeting on a way forward in iraq. this should have been this weekend. this should have been friday. i m sorry u.c. irvine, i cannot be your commencement speaker. this is an emergency. i m sorry whoever i m supposed to golf with out in the desert. i can t do it. i m president. it was said al qaeda was on its heels and dealing with this from behind instead of aggressively in the front. he boxed himself in. he said no boots on the ground. now he s going to say okay, maybe boots on the ground. interestingly enough, hillary clinton weighed in on a myriad of topics. look at all those cities where isis is, where they traveled and where they re heading. today as we start our show, we understand they re going into
couple of quotations from the first lady. first we ll tell you what the president of the united states said. did he two fund-raisers yesterday in california. at the second one he was referring to the attorney general of the great state of california, a woman by the name of kamala harris. he said she was brilliant, dedicated and tough, and then he said this: he said she also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country. it s true. c mon, as the crowd roared. gretchen: she does happen to be good looking. i think we ve come to a place in society where everyone is so sensitive that you can t say anything anymore. she is. she s pretty. so what. steve: i tell you what, new york magazine says the president is in need of gender sensitivity training. gretchen: come on. steve: they say as a president who has become a cultural model for supporters, in many ways the example he s setting is disgraceful. if anybody is going to be
