trump endorsement, what happens in a general election where he needs not only republicans in rural pennsylvania, but rural soccer moms and what is he saying and doing? all the smart people around president trump to the extent that there are such people anymore, he s lost a lot of them. they want him to move on. they ll tell him in private, like, stop talking about this. if you want a political future, move on. look ahead. but he is so stuck in this that he s holding basically hostage all of these other people. i mean, this is an interesting one in particular. dr. oz has a lot of the characteristics of the former president. right? tv star who is well known to americans across the board. he s famous. that s stuff the former president is attracted to when all of the former presidents are working for the other guy. you mentioned what does trump do now in the sense that he s going to have a rally in pennsylvania on may 6th? does he just go all in for oz.
which sent out a lot of waves. this is from barry weiss. they re labelling a new group of voters called the covid moms that are angry about the way this has been handled. it reminds me of the soccer moms, the security moms and clearly this is of the moment. here s one of them running for office in new york against carolyn malone who has been in office for 30 years. watch this. you can be 60, 70, 80 years old and go sit in a restaurant indoors for hours and have a meal together, but my 5-year-old can t have 30 minutes with his friends at recess and play without a mask on and run without a mask on. that makes no sense. that is not science. that is politics. i m not alone in new york city in being a parent that is just fed up with it. martha: is this the youngkin effect and you think we ll see more candidates like this one? yeah, i do. i think that the idea that parents matter isn t a new one, but it s one that the democrats
moms and now covid moms. these are describing themselves as reagan democrats. people who feel like the party has left them and they are looking for another home. we ll see what happens. bill: see you at 3:00. dana: thanks for being here. sorry about your bengals. the pain goes away over time. very difficult. i feel for you and joe burrows has a long career and a great team in the making. bill: from your lips. to god s ears absolutely. dana: see you this afternoon. bill: the number of truck drivers dropping sharply during the pandemic. more being done to attract more drivers to the industry to help you at home and in your business coming up.
recommendations to prevent something like this from ever happening again, along with a report that hopefully is accessible, readable, digestible, and that appeals to the broader american public and maybe even changes some minds, including the minds of people who don t believe that january 6th actually happened. but one of these rings that i think we don t talk about enough, although you, nicole, because you re so in the weeds on this, i think you do and recognize how important this is, is that outer ring of the actual insurrectionists. yes, of course, the people who are in power need to be held accountable. we should be on them every day, but i m also really interested in sort of the soccer moms who became oath keepers and the depositions and interviews that they ve been giving. some of those are already public because they ve spoken with the doj, but the committee is in touch with these people too and lawmakers are especially interested in learning the perspectives of people like that
