over biden and trump, why are so few of them backing anyone else? halfway across the world, the nation of sudan is careening toward a full-blown civil war. secretary of state antony blinken says dozens of americans have contacted his department trying to get out. that may be just a fraction of the thousands of americans still trapped there. we re following breaking news. two of the best-known media personalities at fox news and cnn, tucker carlson and don lemon are out. what we know about their departures but we start with all this new polling. the numbers showing that americans essentially are gritting their teeth over what s shaping up to be a $2 billion presidential rematch the vast majority of voters say they simply don t want joe biden or donald trump. both men are less popular than they were the first time they ran against each other with biden s announcement expected anyway, framing the election as the battle for the soul of the nation just as he did back in 2020 he en
welcome to the programme. beforejoe biden spoke in warsaw this evening, the white house pushed back on a narrative that this was a split screen moment, pitting the american president against vladimir putin. yet the very fact the two men were giving wildly different accounts of the war, on the same day, and just hours apart, makes the comparison unavoidable. in fact, at certain points in this address, joe biden tackled head on the charges president putin had laid earlier in the day. the appetites of the autocrat cannot be appeased. they must be opposed. autocrats only understand one word no, no, no. cheering no, you will not take my country. no, you will not take my freedom. no, you will not take my future. here wasjoe biden returning to a familiar theme. that global confrontation between democracies and autocracy. since he first picked up that theme in the wake of january 6th, western democracies have recovered some of their swagger. that confidence, said the president, flo
seemingly contradict walkers denial. you should know, msnbc s hasn t independently verify those documents. just for a second, look, if these allegations are true, walker s apoxsee is quite obvious. there s one rule for him, another for everyone else. but it is more than that. republicans response to this walker news illustrates a much deeper cancer that is been factoring the party. that is their religious hypocrisy. i want to pause here for a moment. look, we are not trying to demonize some of these actions as the right routinely test everyone else. be proportion isn t a problem unless you are forcing a woman to get an abortion. at the same time, the right routinely demonizes personal social issues in this country. you can condemn abortion in the lgbtq community, and then be surprised when the news media focuses on gop candidates who talked the talk, but don t walk the black. that brings me back to herschel walker. despite all of the scandals that he has hissed, his christian
Respect willfully chris sununu s point is we shouldn t be talking about it. you can t not you ll never be away from people asking you questions about it, whether they re in the audience or members of the media. which is why i think governor sununu s argument falls apart. we re seeing republican governors actually push this issue and realize it is a general election drag as allie said for the republican party. the problem that republicans are wrestling with, chris, is for the vast majority of republicans, this is doctrine. this is dogma. it is the product of about 40 years of a relationship with the evangelical christian movement where this issue was one without compromise you actually have true believers in today s republican party. what you re hearing from chris sununu is people who watch the polls and say, if we act on our convictions, we re going to lose next november. that s absolutely the case this remains a drag. i would suggest that mike pence s statement yesterday is a real
