convinced that the media does not want me to be the nominee above all else, that will, in the long run, absolutely help me. yes ma am, running against the media is the time warned tactic in republican primaries. the problem for desantis, donald trump does the same thing and bates and solve some of the target of the media he seizes out to get. i m gonna be very difficult for desantis to change the narrative that he acknowledges is building there. he is trying. we learned today that he s expected to do an interview with cnn on tuesday. hey, as we re talking about other candidates in general, i know a lot of other candidates spoke yesterday evening along with today as well. isa hutchinson, did not necessarily get a good reception, are being told he was booed when he was on that stage. it is anybody at all breaking through? look. this is a home crowd for donald trump, it was his crowd last, night it s his crowd today.
candidates, like mike pence, for not being sufficiently supportive of vladimir putin. it is almost beyond belief that this could be happening in a republican presidential primary, that this is where we. our it is really quite sad that somebody like tucker carlson has been given this podium. to really try to moderate and navigate republican politics. it is really appalling. and it s not helpful to the party, looking back in january 6th, these guys, you know, they want to move forward and interesting, surely, you say appalling. but debbie, seemingly pretty transparent it seems what they are trying to maybe achieved by having someone like tucker carlsen they re moderating this discussion? i want you to weigh in on all of. this but i want to play first and interaction between carlson isa hutchinson talking about transgender issues. and then we ll talk. in the subsequent years you
instead, governor reynolds wants to sign it here, at the very public family leadership summit. and because her state is the first nominating contest in the republican presidential cycle, the government the governor will have quite an audience. six republican candidates are x slated to be there, excluding, notably i ll add, former president donald trump. ron desantis, mike pence, tim scott, vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley, and isa hutchinson of all sign up to ten this family lived summit. and whether they like it or, not through those candidates will take the stage in the afternoon session, which now features the signing of a six-week abortion ban as its opening act. joining us now is claire mccaskill, former democratic senator from missouri. claire, thank you so much for joining me. i would love for you to wear weigh in on the awkwardness of governor desantis and nikki haley now having to share the same zip code with a six-week abortion ban. it s interesting. desantis is running for p
