look at that, there s a whole lot of crazy right there. election deniers. insurrectionists. weirdos, freaks, you have it all. the republican candidates in arizona, all of them extreme, all of them insurrectionists, all of them people who actually don t believe in american democracy. they believe in their form of government, where, well, you only recognize elections where your side wins. and this is what folks on the far right have been working on for quite some time. what this says about trumpism and the future of the republican party. also, a russian court sentences wnba star brittney griner to nine years in prison. we will have reaction from president biden and the latest on efforts to get her home. and monkeypox now declared a national public health emergency. we ll speak with a top health adviser about this later this morning. willie, we have a lot to talk about. we also have some polls out of ohio. it seems that butter is down by 10 or 11 points, according to h
uphill fight, but people running against her, including the main opponent who people don t know, she is known, you know, the cheney name is known by 100% of those in wyoming, it is unreliable polling, a small turnout electorate, and a ton of money and save liz cheney money pouring into the state. i still wouldn t bet on her winning, but i don t want anybody to think this is over. i don t think it necessarily is. it s not over, john heilemann. what i heard from the ad was he believes that she will fight and win, and you know what, she might not win this. of course, she might not win, but that doesn t mean she s not going to run for president. ultimately, if you believe in democracy and you believe in america like dick cheney does, you ll believe in liz cheney who will continue the fight and ultimately win, if you believe in democracy. if you are considering yourself a citizen of the united states of america, that s what he was
verdict reason a jury saying the info wars host must pay $4 million to a victim of the sandy hook shooting after years of this. sandy hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured. reporter: jones didn t face his lies about the shooting. it is 100% real. reporter: for the parents of jesse lewis, who brought the suit, the damages were less than the $150 million they sought. but far more than the $8 jones attorney offered in closing arguments. a dollar for each of the claims. the jury returned a verdict for compensatory damages exceeding $4 million. that s a darn good start. we now have the punishment phase. reporter: jones may face even bigger troubles over the trove of text messages mistakenly sent to the plaintiff s attorney. i d ask the january 6th attorney to i don t know they reporter: the texts include

the bush administration. put it aside. you can see there a father s love for his daughter. and belief in her. and his belief. that transmutes into belief. i have no doubt that dick cheney believes everything he said about donald trump, too. again, someone who did a lot of things that a lot of us, a lot of people, a lot of americans object to when he was vice president. but in this one moment, in this ad, you can see about two, three places, what looks like emotion from dick cheney pop through in that ad. yeah. you know, whether that ll move the needle or not. i will say this, though, people talk about willie said he s right, the polls say this and that in wyoming. i m not predicting an outcome, but wyoming has a small number of republicans voting in this primary on the republican side. i do not trust the polling there. doesn t mean i think liz cheney is ahead and doesn t have an
