and this is part of cory booker s point. what do you plan on actually doing? beyond policy, what do these actions look like? so this is going to continue to be a point of contention. ypd the point of contention, though, beyond it being a point of contention, is it a point that will make critical voting blocs, african-americans, who we know are going to vote with the democrats, but will it make a difference to their vote what they hear on that stage, what they see in this proposal and who they ultimately decide to support? i think it may make a difference. we have to remember that one of the groups that is perhaps most perhaps most infected and particularly in terms of depressive turnout will be black men. black men are going to be looking at questions of policy at mass incarceration, particularly with because they are within this affected pool. black women who also make up the base of the democratic party are
months. we ve seen it again and again. he ll come out with a big and bold position that seems to excite the base only to climb down at the end of it and this huge turn around is the latest. not that i m complaining. from where i sit, it s a good thing that he s not following through on threats to deport millions of people from the country or attack iran. carlos, the president calls this deal a big victory with no poison pills. aren t republicans the ones who were supposed to care about the deficit? it s ironic because the president avowed never to sign one of these big budget deals again because he said they include too much spending. i think most americans have probably figured out by now the party that cares about deficits is almost always the party that is out of office. so definitely republicans have added a lot of red ink. this is not a good path the country is on. at some point in the future, someone is going to have to pay for these bills and a lot of
that s worse that deplorable. remember deplorable? yes you do. joining me is nbc news chief correspondent hallie jackson. a lot to unpack there. one of his attacks, who elected her? that would be voters in her congressional district with 84% of the vote. but turning point usa, that group of teenteenagers, conserve teenagers, clearly his attacks were met with a receptive audience. this honestly, watching it here at the white house, felt more like a campaign rally from its length the way the president veered off onto a variety of topics, veering from the script in front of him to raucous and ad adoering applause from the crowd. the president spent a fair amount of time on attacking these so-called squad. one point calling them aoc plus three with his attacks on rashida tlaib, comparing her to a crazed lunatic, seeming to draw some attention.

direction fiscally. carlos, fox news host laura ingraham tweeted her disapproval of this. we ve seen the president change his mind before, frankly, after speaking of dana s column. speaking of outside pressure, undoing the cave. i don t think anything that s going to happen here that s going to change the trajectory we re in in terms of how much spending is going on. the president certainly going to hit a speed bump with his base on this issue. number one, because he promised not to do this. really? do you think so? they seem to forgive a lot. i said a speed bump. a little one. little tiny one. it will pass quickly. and also because of the deficit spending. there are still some republicans in this country that really are worried about deficit spending and that understand this isn t sustainable. and that understand that this government has to start making tough decisions at some point or anoth another. if we want to keep spending at
