suggest that a potential defendant cooperate with a prosecutor, just because he might be wrong about his blanket immunity statements. but look. it s very clear evidence wise that voter fraud is not why the election was lost. in fact, the middle part of my book explains in great detail with verifiable proof why trump lost the election. there is a simple explanation. it has nothing to do with fraud whatsoever. and when i m free to talk about it, everybody will understand. it makes perfect sense. president trump is not actively making sure that all conservative voters are in his camp. bottom line. and it s really hard to win an election when you carve out a piece of the electorate and tell them, you are dead to me. which is what former president trump has done many, many times. you have to have a broad coalition to win an election, and president trump has actively narrowed his base of support overtime. okay. it s disproven, it s coming out march 12th, it will probably be requi
Presidents, former presidents from countries, if they have some level of malfeasance or corruption or whatever in a trial, they are found guilty, they are put in jail. we have seen that, and that s not from banana republics. other countries as well. certain countries. so let s take a listen to what trump said on tuesday about his prosecutions, and why he should a presidential immunity. are they feel this is the way they re doing to try and win, and that s not the way it will be bedlam in the country. it is a very bad thing, it is a very bad precedent, as we said, it is the opening of a pandora s box. how do you interpret that, olivia? well i think that s trump using these court proceedings for his own political advantage. he is kind of turning them into a trump rallies, i would say, because that is how he is reaching audiences. and he is saying it is political motivation, again, it goes on to this witch hunt narrative. but the reality is, this is the and it is catching up w
Narrative, and they are not going to tell the truth about it, and they continue to enable trump to push this talking point that is dangerous for our democracy in our country. well in, fact another trump staffer ty cobb gave this pretty terse assessment. watch this. i think you have to take trump seriously, because he poses the greatest threat to democracy that we ve ever seen. there, go straight to the point, and echoing your sentiments as well. we ve been hearing it so often these these days, how can you break down the actual ways that democracy will be threatened by a second trump presidency? what is concerning you most, olivia? honestly, just think about who he will place in his cabinet. and the one thing that trump has learned from his first term is that he will place people there he doesn t need senate confirmed people, you just keep rotating them in their roles. which is extremely dangerous. you re going to see boulet kash patel, mike flynn, rick you will see steve
Of our defense community, and across the government. that is incredibly dangerous, and i also worry for the federal workforce. there is that project 2025 plan that is being but when there is a federal worker that hasn t the traditional process for a whistleblower is to go to the inspector general. i will tell you this, i saw them do this. they were specifically looking at those placing them with loyalists. so i think that across the federal government, there is a fear they will feel, where they have nowhere to turn to. that is authoritarianism. yeah, that is extraordinary. if it s my recollection properly, what you are mentioning their relative to the heritage foundation, i think they are trying to flood the federal employees, almost ten fold with the number of trump loyalists them would be typical for any incoming administration. i mean, it is pretty frightening to think about. but donald trump did this one 80 this week on his previous promise to voters, when he said he woul
They plan on voting for president biden. that is a sharp decline from the 87% he carried in 2020. during a new interview with my colleague joy reid, radio host charlamagne tha god and social justice advocate angela discussed why they are not surprised by these numbers. i have been in meeting after meeting, both on the hill and off the hill, with the party about their failure to reach their base, their most faithful base. for years, this is not new information. i m up my listeners, what am i supposed to tell them? what am i supposed to tell them other than look man, donald trump s a fascist. you may think things can t get, worse but they absolutely positively can. but if they feel like we already lived through a trump i lived through reagan, how much worse can that get? like, it s like what do i tell? them they are not afraid of just telling you to go out and vote because of the fear anymore. joining me now is
