jumping into the race here? i think it s a heroic quest to be a bug on a windshield, and i wish him god speed. mark sanford, they polled him in south carolina, his home state, his home state in which he couldn t even win a republican primary as incumbent congressman as recently as 2018. he was polling against donald trump at like 4%. so he is not doing well in his home state. it s very interesting to me that all three of these men in a way are kind of the ghosts of the remnants of what once was the tea party movement, the interesting part of the tea party movement, which is to say the part where mark sanford especially foregrounds debt and deficits as being a pressing national problem that conservatism should be about fundamentally. joe walsh is more to the right of this and making more of a character kind of question. they re all hitting those same notes, the notes that donald trump has now run the party away from and also in terms of international trade. so the question to me is th
donald trump and mitch mcconnell follow what nine out of ten americans agree with, something i don t even know anything that is more popular, and just have the vote. we aren t going to stop. mayors across the country, we know that if they don t will continue to see senseless gun violence in our communities. and so there will be another city and another city and another city. and we ll be back here calling for background checks and common sense gun legislation. i just played this sound from roy blunt basically saying it s time for the president to step up you. talked about that poll, which i actually want to bring up once again. 89% of all americans overwhelmingly supporting expanded background gun checks. you think about the shooting most recently in odessa, texas, which in fact if there were extensive background checks in place, it would have prevented that shooter from actually obtaining those guns that killed all those people between midland and odessa, texas. why aren t gop lea
iowa and south dakota to not include pablo, which helped spark the revolt that pablo then got in new hampshire. all right. thank you guys both. appreciate it. still ahead, a top republican says trump needs to step up on gun reform. i m going talk to the mayor of dayton, ohio who joined democrats today calling for action. plus, shock and confusion as evacuees fleeing the bahamas are forced off of a vote headed to the united states. we ll be right back. e united st. we ll be right back. that sophie opened up a wormhole through time? (speaking japanese) where am i? (woman speaking french) are you crazy/nuts? cyclist: pip! pip! (woman speaking french) i m here, look at me. it s completely your fault. (man speaking french) ok? it s me. it s my fault? no, i can t believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. (pterodactyl screech) believe it. geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance.
ohio who you just heard from. but first, it is not just democrats upping the heat on trump. missouri senator roy blunt telling chuck todd it is time for the president to, quote, step up. we re not going to vote on bills on the senate floor that the president s not willing to sign. the president needs to step up here. yeah. and set some guidelines for what he would do. if the president will let us know what he d sign if it got on his desk, we d be much more likely to do that. with me now is mayor nan whaley. thank you very much for joining us today. i appreciate on this very important topic as you know very personally, to say the least. why did you decide to go to washington today? well, thank you, yasmin, for having me on this evening. i think the thing that my community had said on the night of august 4th, the next even after nine people were killed in our historic oregon district was to do something. and so i came to d.c. to share
flicker before it gets extinguished entirely in the trumpian gop? each of these three candidates have said that other republicans have secretly expressed the fact that they do not like the president period, end of sentence, but they are scared of him you. buying it? i think some people probably said that to them. we hear that time and time again, but the point is it doesn t matter if they re saying behind closed doors they don t like the president. they re going to support the president. they support the president publicly, and they re out there on a limb, most of them, doing mostly what the president asks. it s just to me, i m tired of hearing all of these people saying oh, well, behind closed doors, republicans don t support the president. but they ve allowed him to be completely unaccountable. so it doesn t matter in practice. you know what i think is interesting, matt, when mark sanford was asked, i believe it was on morning joe, who he would vote for if he were to lose, he w
