Cpacs Straw Poll one with trump, one without. Trump is clearly their man. He won by 70 , up from 55 in the same poll in february. Lingering over that Straw Poll, a report by Vanity Fair says republicans are preparing for a showdown, between trump and ron desantis, who is reporting to be considering a bid for the presidency in 2024. This is the party of trump, whether almosts in washington understand what they are up against remains to be seen. Joining me, eugene daniels, he is also an msnbc political contributor. Meghan millmilloy. And benecolens, Nbc News senior reporter. Eugene, trump just beat ron desantis, in a Straw Poll. Desantis has comfortable lead over the others. Vanity fair says Trump And Desantis appear to be on a collision course, as desantis explores a run of his own. The cpac did a second Straw Poll if trump did not run. Talk about those dynamics, the fact they feel they need to do two different polls. It shows theyre not exactly sure what Donald Trump is going to do. They have no clue. He is giving no indication. Therefore, the democrats in 2016, when it was will she or wont she with hillary clinton. The will he or wont he is making it hard for republicans to do much of anything. Ron desantis and Nikki Haley and the rest that might run in 2024, have to move slowly and have to be very, very nice to him. One of the interesting things when you talk to the trump supporters, they tend to stick with ron desantis. Hes brash and he is a little mean in public in talking to reporters and to other folks. Thats something that they are interested in. And with Donald Trump, he runs the party. You Cant Run afoul of him. Its caused the party to do all types of things, even repeat dangerous lies, say things that arent true at all, at cpac and at congress to make sure they dont Piss OffDonald Trump, and send a statement about him to someone. Old habits die hard. Lots of talks about the sevenpoint Fantastical Plan to reinstate trump as president in days. How seriously is this being taken within the Republican Party . On the trump in the Trump Part of the party, right . The base of the trump said, they really believe it. They have been surprised, at the suburban white women that saw him on the tv, probably when they expect him to believe something that is never going to happen. Possibly, dangerous. And that aspect of it is confusing. And when talking to republicans up here in washington, d. C. , behind the scenes, theyre not sure what to do with it. Again, they know they cant speak out against something like that. And they cant say that Donald Trump is not going to be president , even though hes not going to be in a few days, in a week. Unless he runs in 2024. It seems like the Republican Party is not taking it seriously or believing it. Theyre allowing it to tester. Weve seen how, when you allow lies and Conspiracy Theories to fester what happens. And we have january 6th. I hear about the sevenpoint Fantastical Plan, and to me, it has echoes of qanon. It has the same vibe. One day, in the future, not a given date, your dreams will come true. Donald trump will be the president again. All of his enemies will be arrested. Fantastical an mouse is driving this party. Theres a feeling that qanon went away because q went away. And that people that believed in qanon stopped. They are still targeted by the same algorithms. Just because its not called qanon doesnt mean theyre not trading the same outlandish Conspiracy Theories. They dont want to be called qanon supporters. Thats for certain. They are still following the insane stuff. And all of that is having an impact on the party itself. I want you to listen to what Adam Kinsinger said. The biggest enemy to the Maga World is mike pence. Mike pence was one of the most faithful people to Donald Trump. But if you turn an ounce against Donald Trump, your out of the tribe. Talk about this purging of moderate republicans from the ranks of the modern Republican Party. What does that mean for the future of the party . Yeah. What i think about first when i think about the republicans trying to purge the moderates, is that thats not their strong suit. When it purges all of the moderate members, that creates more independents and democrat voters. They can defeat the extremists or make sure the other party wins. Its easy. The republican Party Cant grow or evolve without being more inclusive, including mike pence. Were never going to get back to being a big tent party. Pro antichoice. Now, its just pro antitrump, period. My question, kind of around all of this, is why are they so focused on fighting within the party right now. Were facing so many things. Climate change, the pandemic, and were arguing about who is more republican and who has impeached the former president. Thats not leadership. Thats chasing Sound Bytes and trying to please a vocal minority. Swresing that we talk about these modern republican circles, who gets to define what moderate is in the Republican Party . Were using the term moderate to define nontrumpy. At one point it was a fiscally conservative term. If youre the former, Liz Cheney is being called a rhino, a moderate. Not only is purging moderates a bad strategic plan, now, were misapplying the term, to anyone that is not bowing to trump, that has nothing to do with policy or platform. That republicans havent had for several years. Eugene, I Want You to tie a few things together for me, as i ask you to do. This week, we will be looking at the infrastructure deal. Well look to the president s speech, On Voting Rights on tuesday. How do those two Stories Change . How are they affected by the rhetoric that were hearing . What do you hear from democrats on their sense of whether they can or cannot work with republicans . Thats the biggest question around congress right now, right . Theres members of congress that dont have faith being around their colleagues after january 6th. One member of congress moved their office away from a republican because they didnt feel safe. How do you work with people like that . From there are little Pack Pockets of moderates. You have the police reform group. One republican and one democrat on the senate side. Little things are happening. Im not sure how you get back together. The Republican Party right now is not focusing, she just said, on policy, at all. Not just bowing to the feet of trump. But also, and more importantry, spreading Conspiracy Theories and obstructing. And there isnt a sense they want to get things done. For the democrats and the White House, that want to go around and talk about the things they do and the plans, they have seen at times, lifting the political ramifications of not fighting about the untruths. Im told we dont want to elevate those. How long do you let those things fester without talking about them . And wushing them aside . Before i let you go, how is this qanon playing out on School Boards . Qanon has decided to start running in local elections because low turnout can win you an election. Theres One Qanon supporter, one of the big influencers, tracy diaz, who won a local election with 170 votes. This is a big thing with mike flynn. Mike flynn has told qanon supporters, to run for local office. One for School Board and get involved in the education of our children. Thats a big thing. They are sick of waiting for a plan to happen. They are trying to make it happen themselves. Im glad to be reporting on this, ben, eugene, meghan. Thank you all.

I worry that it will undermine the legitimacy of any election including your own, by casting doubt on whether it is the will of those eligible to vote. Voters in texas taking to the floor of their state capitol, arguing against a republicanled bill to limit voting rights. They called a Special Session to do it. One by one, hundreds of texans responded, waiting their turn to speak. Almost 17 hours to oppose the restrictions. In the end, republicans did not listen, advancing the bill out of committee. Now, its a Floor Vote has to happen by tuesday. We should note, part of the legislation targets the liberalleaning harris county. Banning the option that the county rolled out during the pandemic. The leader of the Democratic Kah Sus said, you cant make this up. Republicans are passing antivoter legislation overnight to prohibit texans from casting a ballot overnight. Joining me now, State Representative Gina hinojosa. Republicans plan to pass this. Do you plan to walk out this time . When i saw all options are on the table, we are definitely considering that option. Understand how difficult that is. Getting over 55 members of our house to all leave the state, probably because the speaker can have us arrested and brought back to the florida house, if we arent present and quorum is broken. This is not a fulltime paying job. We get about 7,000 a year. Most of us have other jobs and families to get back to. We just came off a sixmonth session, where we made the sacrifices, knowingly. But to go again for an extended period of time, is a hardship. And the governor has defunded our entire legislature in punishment for not passing his Voter Suppression bill. I have Staff Members right now who do not know if they will get paid in august. Thats helpful content. Let me reframe the question which tools do you have at your disposal to fight back . Well, were not in a majority. We dont have the ability to vote it down. The republicans took none of the amendments in the hearing. They ran this thing through, starting with public testimony after midnight. People were starting up at 7 00 a. M. , when the open signups for testimony. We dont have a lot of options. Breaking quorum would be a sure way to kill the bill. Other than that, im at a loss. It is hard to do. The governor will call another session after this, to get his way. What we need, the only thing that protects texans right now, for the longterm, is federal legislation to protect our voting rights. We need the John Lewis Voting act pass. The president is going to give a big speech On Voting Rights. What is it that you want to hear from him . I want to hear this is his number one priority. He will put the prestige of the White House on the line to make this happen. This is a foundational right. The foundation of all other rights, there is something more important than passing voting Rights Legislation at the federal level. We need federal protection. Theres a federal plan to limit our voice. The Heritage Foundation has passed in eight states, texas is one of them, to estrictions. In response, we need a federal solution to this national plan. State representative, gina hinojosa, thank you for your time. I want to turn to the advocacy on the ground. Hundreds of texans went to the capitol, to demand that lawmakers not mess with their voting. Charlie joins us now. You stayed up all night to testify against the new voting restrictions. Thank you so much for being here. What did you tell lawmakers . Thank you for having me. Only for American Voices would i get out of bed after being awake for 23 hours. Thanks for having me. It was critical for us to be there, to show lawmakers that the vast majority of texans do not encourage these. This texas, we value our freedoms, including the freedoms to vote. And hundreds of texans showed and stayed through the night. Many getting involved in the complicated, wonky, long process and staying through the night. While i am exhausted, im inspired. Provoter texans turned out 61, against the Conspiracy Theorists and the crazies that push the narratives. I think theres a Tide Turning in texas right now, that is Ground Zero in the national site for freedom to vote. It is encouraging to seeing the texans showing up and receiving and im loving the number that im seeing testifying. Last week, the dnc had voter registration. And educate voters about new laws. If the laws in texas pass, how does a group like yours ramp up efforts to overcome challenges to the Ballot Box . Understanding that no amount of effort from you will be an equal counterweight for what you are up against. It is incumbent to turn out in numbers so high, that no amount of Voter Suppression could confuse the odds. We see people turning up for the first time. Theyre not going to stop advocating. Those are the folks that we are bringing in. In texas, we focus on building up the new generation of voters, some of the most diverse electorate. And were going to show that there is power in what is happen right now. You heard me ask which tools they have at their disposal to push back, your sense of what it is that democrats can do at this point in the game. Theres all sorts of strategies that we can do to stop this piece of legislation. Theres things that well do to advocate for better amendments to be put on the legislation, and many of the elections officials are making sure that they are not having Unintended Consequences as if legislation really speaks to tie their hands and make sure when it comes to the next pandemic or natural disaster, it will be more difficult to facilitate an election. The amendments on the floor will be critical. We need the John Lewis Voting right act to protect the rights to vote here in texas. Charlie, thank you, as always.

The Sentiment Shares with demonstrators in miamis little havana. On the phone, the director of latin america, Mary Murray. Tell us more about the protests were seeing in cuba, how widespread they are, what the demands are. Weve lost mary. Were going to come back to this story. Were going to turn to haiti. The senior Fbi And Department of Homeland Security officials are ready to begin assisting in the investigation of the killing of haitis president. He was shot to death early wednesday. His wife was injured. At least 20 suspects have been detained in connection with the assassination. The u. S. Has sent troops to help protect critical resources. Were going to bring in navid. You were listening to the u. S. , what were listening to do. What do you think the conversations are . Being had by the administration . They want to know this is not the same as the coup in the early 90s. Theres no u. N. Resolution authorizing the use of american force. I think were seeing three things. The u. S. Is going to support the investigation. The second is the Emergency Funding for equipping and training haitian police. And thirdly, this is a larger question of making sure that haiti doesnt slip back into a Civil War, into a coup. Theres a challenge here for the biden administration, after Exit Afghanistan to show that it can wield Foreign Policy without using the military. The Suspects Arrestedcolombi Americans of haitian descent. What can we expect to find out about the assassination . The big question, was this a foreign plot . They rounded up several americans and other foreign nationals. Its not clear if these people are directly linked to the assassination. Haitian officials claim they are. This there was a foreignborne plot, that is something different, than if this was a Power Grab from one of the haitian factions. I think investigators are looking closely at what the nexis and the motive of the assassination came from. The united states is pulling troops out of afghanistan, while haiti is asking for troops. What is the optics of Military Assistance at this point . I think theyre terrible. On a personal level, as a veteran, i dont think that the u. S. Government can pull out of afghanistan, while still dealing with afghan interpreters and looking to settle that question, and begin to throw u. S. Troops into haiti. Furthermore, from a legal point, theres no authority for us to send u. S. Military forces. Even if the haitians have asked for them, we have to have an authority. I go back to when u. S. Forces enter haiti in the 90s, that was under a u. S. Resolution. They are not slipped into Civil War just yet. There is still just a murder investigation. The u. S. Is going to send Covid Vaccine to haiti this week. Your sense of how a move like that can help in stabilization . We want to make sure that haiti stays stable. Anything that can be done, with Disaster Relief efforts, Covid Vaccine, whatever the u. S. Can do to stabilize the country, helps quite a bit. And clearly, Covid Vaccines would help do that. We dont want haitian refugees streaming to haiti and causing a crisis. Naveed, thank you so much. I want to bring back Mary Murray to the Breaking News in cuba. Before i lost you, i was asking you to walk me through the protests, what were seeing and where we are seeing the protests. How widespread they are and how rare they are and the demands of the cuban people. I think everybody was surprised when the protests erupted today across the island. My understanding is that it began in a neighborhood in havana. There were a couple hundred people that took to the streets. Im told there was a sixhour power outage. They were hot and fed up. And they started marching. Speaking with Family Back in miami. Streaming the video and the protest, it then started to catch fire. We were told there were protests in at least five different neighborhoods in havana. At least that many towns across the island. The protests were around food, medicines and covid. And people were calling for freedom and liberty. Some of the people were chanting that. It is people feeling desperate, not having enough to eat. Not having income coming in because of the pandemic. Family from florida is not visiting, because of restrictions on travel. People feeling desperate. And our camera people tried to go to the neighborhood where the first protests erupted. Police and roadblocks stopped our vehicles. We saw that from the protesters live streaming the events. After that, some of the protests moved into downtown havana. And i believe that you were showing that video earlier. Earlier in the program. We saw some arrests and police criminaling the crowd. I want to ask you as someone familiar with the region, to talk about how rare what we are watching. What we are seeing, how widespread. We have not seen something like this since the mid90s. Is that xrektd . Exactly. Most dissent since the summer of 1994, when you had the massive Rafter Crisis that sent about 35,000 cubans across the florida straits. To be honest with you, theres experts and observers before todays protests who were talking about the dire circumstances in cuba. It is the kind of thing that can make people to try to take to the streets and try their hand at getting to the u. S. It could easily fuel another exs do. Im grateful for your time.

We are revictimized time and time again throughout the judicial process. Im concerned that victims of Sexual Assault will have the thoughts of, why bother . Why bother telling my story . Reporter what would you tell those women . I would say stay strong. Stay faithful and talk and tell someone. That person doesnt listen, keep telling until someone done.

Six books, and contributing writer for the New York times and a founder of the times up amber, always good to see you. When you heard this news from your perch at times up, what was your response. Yo i mean which piece of news . The Britney Piece or the Britney Piece . Cosby. Theyre very connected. When i was watching your segment i was listening to the women talk about how angry they are, i felt for them. I understood what they were saying. Im actually very happy that anger is being aimed towards the legal inJustice System. I think that is where our focus lies now. I wrote about it in the piece that i wrote for the cut that we have got to focus on Thins Likew the Statute Of Limitations. Which basically denies women the opportunity or men, or any person to tell their story and receive justice at a point theyre ready to tell it. The Statute Of Limitations says you have a clock, and this will run out on when your story matters, and when youre allowed to basically say when you were harmed or something happened to you. Looking at not just the predatod but looking at the Purpose Lo but looking at the Perp Tray or and the system is a huge part of what we need to change. You talk about the organization. We have not gone far enough. Where do you want to see this organization, the Movement Build and go from here . Well, thats exactly that. I think i want more people to pay attention to the legal system to understand that, yes, its a very unfortunate that O Cosby is free now. He is able to go about his daily life in a way that many women were traumatized and livelihood was destroyed by the experiences that happened by this man. They are not able to go forward in their daily lives. To sort of pivot with that anger and that frustration and turn it towards the system that allowed this to happen in the first place. What we need to be doing is really looking at people who are leading the charge and changing the Justice System and making it much more of a, you know, victim centered system. I talk about that in a piece a n lot. A there are lawyers like Robby Caplan who is working on this ho for years. She is the cofounder of the times up legal defense fund. There are many, many women working towards it. We need to be paying Attention N to the legal system as a whole and how it has failed us. Right. I want to talk about the Britney Conservatorship and tie these together. When it comes to the britney case, you said you recognized her rage. Tell me more about that. So i wrote a little bit about my experience growing up as a Child Actor and being sort of the breadwinner for everyone around me. Friends and to a degree some ar family members. My relationship with my parents is extremely close and my parents are incredible people. But i understood how complicated money makes things. Especially when you are young and a woman in any kind of entertainment business. What i saw out of britney and what i see, especially with the judges latest ruling to not end her conservatorship, which is absolutely shocking to me, given the testimony she gave and the fact that so much of what she talked about sounds like a humaa rights violation. It is absolutely shocking to me to think this woman cannot have control over her own money. And actually, another thing that i havent seen people talk about enough is that it really weaponizes mental illness to any degree. We dont actually know the state of Britney Spears mental health. It is being weaponized against her in the Court Of Public Opinion and privately with this conservatorship. We have no idea what this woman is going through. She deserves to have control over her own Money And Life and body. And i recognize that to a fraction of that degree just growing up in the Business And N knowing that having money complicates things. It complicates the relationships around you. It makes things very tenuous and difficult. And unless youre ready to have a real conversation about that with the people in your life and whether or not you have healthy people in your life or not changes everything. This is why i wanted to talk to you. You wrote so eloquently about what happened to her and the yO Cosby case and seeing a connection between the cases. Youre talking about the disnance in the headlines. Tell me more. I think the dissidents is just that all of it is a spectacle. That is part of what it is. This is the 24hour news cycle. Its part of what were a part of, twitter, profiles, whatever it is that were doing. And we look at Britney Spears and we see a shiny object. And we see Bill Cosby and to a different degree but very l similarly, we also see a shiny object. But with he see that as a villain. And so its very much a problem, i think that, were out there in the media and were not talking about solutions enough. And were not talking about the hard truths of what is going on and why the actions are happening and why the experiences happen. Whether that is Britney Spears who is incredibly rich or somebody who does not have the financial resources she does. Ive gotten so many emails from women who said i experienced this my whole life. This is my life. Ive gone through this. So theyre tied. Tend of the day, this is so ultimately about the corruption of power and about the corruption of power over the female body and how it is extremely unhealthy in our culture.
