holding the line. house republicans pass a debt ceiling bill meant to kick off talks. we ve done our job. democrats say they won t negotiate overpaying the nation s bills. are we inching closer to default? i ll speak with vermont senator bernie sanders and house republican whip tom emmer next. he s running. the official 2024 roster grows. there s more to infinish the job. i m a candidate for president of the united states. but as the former president dominates gop polls, is there room in the party for anyone but trump? new candidate and former arkansas governor asa hutchinson joins me ahead. plus, lessons learned. a family secret. i was born to a father that was a nazi. now arnold schwarzenegger is using his father s past to try to confront his problems. this should never, ever happen again. hello, i m dana bash in washington where the state of our union is recovering. while washington came out they mingled, they laughed as journalists joined political leade
how to talk about it and approach this issue reasonably and without cruelty. we know this is true, because the electorate told us this in 24, right? the polling all indicated that independents broke from republican voting because of this issue. this exact issue. i don t mow what the big mystery is. when voters tell you, we re voting against you because of this, republicans have got to listen. but the republicans elected a republican president who put justices on the court, specifically for that reason. and that s the thing. i understand that donald trump is trying to have it both ways, but he s the one who appointed the extreme justices who ripped away this right from the american people. i don t think he s trying to do it both ways. he says it s a state s right issue. he s not been out advocating for a ban. he said, i appointed these judges. i don t think he s in the right place. i think that the republicans will rue the day that they appointed these justices and they will
good place. there are no states that have abortion on demand. i think what we saw in two red states in nebraska and south carolina are politicians that decided a six week fact pause a lot of women don t know they re pregnant in six weeks. it s wrong on the merits and wrong on the politics and i don t see this as a course correction for the gop because you still have people like governor hutchinson here who signed into law a total ban. you have governor desantis who signed into law a six-week ban and that will be a millstone around republicans necks going into the general election. i think it is another indication that many elected officials are out of touch with what their constituents actually want. it s about women have the autonomy and to be competent enough to make decisions about what s best for their life. when you have two states i mean, look, when kansas happened everyone was so surprised and
states are deciding it. some states have new jersey, and republicans said, now we need a federal ban. it s not a good place. there are no states that have abortion on demand. but let me make this point, i think what we saw in two red states, in nebraska and south carolina is politicians who decided that total bans and a six-week ban is in effect a total ban, because a majority of women don t know they re pregnant at six weeks, is that it s wrong on the merits and wrong on the politics. but i don t see this as a course correction for the gop, you still have people like governor hutchinson here who signed into law a total ban. you have governor desantis who signed into law a six-week ban. and that is going to be a millstone around republicans necks going into the general election. i think it is another indication that many of our elected officials are out of touch with what their constituents actually want. it s not just about a culture of life. it s about women having the bodily au
fact is that unless we have super majorities in each of the houses, we re not going we re going to keep this issue in the states. i ve said, and i believe the american people are supportive of restrictions on abortion with the right exceptions in there, and that s what i ve advocated for rape, incest, life of the mother. this is where i think the american people are. and it s a debate that s going to take place in both places when you state your convictions. i do believe that the economy will be the number one issue. yeah, but going back to abortion, you know, it sounds like you re saying that the whole question of what would happen in congress is a hypothetical, because the numbers aren t there. but the whole question of repealing roe was a hypothetical for 50 years until it wasn t. so on this issue, just going back to my original question, if you are president, and if you got a bill that had restrictions without that had a full ban on abortion without restrictions, would you si
