they're talking about dr. seuss and mr. potato head. and we laugh at it, but that's the reality. that's all they've got. . >> well, look, first of all, for republicans today, all politics is cultural. it is meeting the demands of their base to talk about these issues. i think the question for joe biden is can he take his success, effectively deal with what is an emerging crisis at the southern border because of some of his new immigration policies, deal with that. will public schools reopen. that is a promise he made. even though he doesn't have control over teachers unions and local school boards. people are going to expect him to deliver on that. republicans have to find an effective way to communicate to suburban voters, independent voters that they deserve to offer a were counterweight to the leadership. the democratic control of washington is not as effective as it would be if there was shared control. they are still searching for a tpaoupb find message that does that. something that will bring along their base and appeal to voters who are not in their base. sitting in the m

potato head, britney spears and dr. seuss. meanwhile, at the top of republican politics, today was day five of a saga i almost can't believe is happening, let alone happening along side democrats passing the most important legislation in a generation, right? the former president, mr. trump, is demanding formally that the republican party stop using his name. he sent them a cease and desist letter. he's publicly demanding repeatedly now that people who support him should not give any money or support to the republican party. they should instead make all of their political donations to him. make their political donations at his website to his pac, don't support the republican party, just support me. the republicans in congress are like britney spears and dr. seuss only. the republicans at the top of their food chain are like give me all your money. the "new york times" noting helpfully today, quote, that the sort of pac that donald trump has been soliciting donations for, quote, has no meaningful restrictions on how it could spe

but it's just like dr. seuss's family. the state didn't come in and tell dr. seuss' family what to do. they probably looked at the books and said, over the next 20, 30 books, we probably want to pull back. just like disney and song of the south. facebook, which, of course conservatives also seem like josh hawley want to go in and censor, a private company, facebook is a bit of a different matter, because there are anti-trust issues that need to be sorted out with facebook and amazon and twitter. but with these other companies, they're really, at the end of the day, they're not trying to be woke. they're just looking at their bottom line, if they get it right and sell more cokes, then good for them. and if they don't, you know, their ceo gets fired. >> right. well, you know, it's -- i would like to believe, maybe i'm just feeling optimistic this morning. i would like to believe that there are ceos, chief marketing officers, and so on who are looking at voting rights issues and saying, it actually isn't that controversial. and it is the right thing to do to say,

seuss, banning books in schools. but hillary is right. you go down the list. nothing for child care. nothing for paid leave. nothing for working moms or dads. nothing to actually make the lives of children in america, of parents in america easier. absolutely nothing. so, you know, you go back to 1948 and harry truman's campaign for reelection, willie, where he talked about the do-nothing republicans. it would not be a bad theme for democrats to pick up as they move towards the 2022 campaign, to listen to what hillary clinton said and start talking about the do-nothing republicans instead of always being on the defensive about what they say. put them on the defensive for what they do not do. in the house, they do absolutely nothing. >> well, hillary clinton has made it clear, you are going to hear from her whether on a ballot or not going forward, especially in these midterm elections. president joe biden meanwhile is warning russia could launch an attack on ukraine within the next several days and said the u.s. sees no signs russia is withdrawing any of its tr

dr. seuss is really another icing on the cake for me. he was no, he might have been uninformed, but our country as better than this. we should introduce him to a salem witch trial. be better than this. >> harold, do you worry about banning both essentially the modern-day equivalent of burnin them if you can't get them on the open market? >> some books and may deserve t be earned, but definitely, definitely not dr. seuss. >> okay. byron, you come out winners and losers. >> my winner are the americans who are hoping to get in the covid vaccine. this week the average of doses administered hit to million per day here is hoping that goes up and up and up. already better-than-expected a few weeks ago. might my loser, prince harry an meghan markel. the estranged royals are again dumping on the royal family fro their mansion in california. if you want privacy, don't do a big interview with oprah, it tends to get noticed. >> it does. molly, your winner loser. >> my winners are republican governors, when you look at who's leading the republican pa

potato head, or dr. seuss, dr. seuss's family decided to do with dr. seuss privately. but, willie, what we're going to end up with is, what ramesh would say is you're not going to get court packing but you get a commission and joe biden is not going to get a military style assault weapon ban but you'll get maybe watered down presidential executive order. but at the same time republicans will run as if he's trying to take away all guns. you even talk about a 90 issue on expanding background checks and you would think they are knocking down doors and ripping handguns away from crying mothers. >> and another element is the country watched what happened and then the reaction after january 6 among many republicans and they saw no outrage, no protest about calling out and contesting a free and fair and secure election and then excusing the behavior of the president and in fact participating in it by many of them. so when you hear outrage now, americans stop and say you didn't care about that. that was americans storming the capitol, looking for the vice president of the unit

it's called "mein kampf," but you can't buy the six band dr.. seuss books? you can buy the anarchist cookbook but not dr. seuss to enough is enough. we are not careful. well, look at what's happening in great britain. the investigation, government investigation into pierce morgan for expressing his point of view.g if it can happen there, yeah, it can happen here. that is scary. dan bongino, geraldo rivero are with us. geraldo, are you really thinking of running for the senate? you really thinking about it? because you're going to have to get dan bongino's endorsement. >> no chance. so glad you asked me, because -- you know, erica and i were thinking about it, our dreams got ahead of our plan. you know, i regret that we went public with this before we had formulated an idea., you know, anything more than an idea, i apologize for it. i'm not running for the senate seat in the great state of ohio. i thought i could do good as a republican moderate, but you know, it is a daunting task and i will leave it to a younger person. >> sean: dan, thank goodness. no l of

dr. seuss. got it. but also, instructive, i think was this from senator mitch mcconnell who is once again, flat out promising in advance that zero republican senators will vote for biden and the democrats' next legislation. on infrastructure, on the american families plan. there will be zero republicans voting for it. talk about something undercovered by the beltway press. think about the implications of this. this ought to be the cause for wall to wall coverage from for days on end. instead, it is covered like thing mcconnell said and everybody moves on and meanwhile we're stuck with this weird common wisdom in the beltway. all saying biden needs to find republican votes. he needs a big bipartisan show of hands. he needs to keep meeting with republicans and talking to republicans to find something they like so he can get republican votes. news flash. there won't be any republican votes. he doesn't have to do any of those things. just put up that headline again. the republicans are promising, they are s

dr. seuss enterprises said today the portrayals of africans and asians are "hurtful and wrong." the author, theodore geisel, died in 1991. still to come on the newshour: the supreme court hears challenges to voting laws that could have major implications on elections. lawmakers inoth parties push for monthly payments to parents through tax credits. india struggles with vaccination amid widespread hesitancy and misinformation. plus, much more. >> woodruff: state legislatures across the country are trying to rewrite election laws after the contentious 2020 election. and as john yang reports, a supreme court case argued today will determine how courts will assess those new laws. >> we love trump! >> yang: last november, arizona was a battleground in the presidential race. >> count the legal votes! >> yang: its narrow backing of president biden was the first time the state had gone democratic in 24 years. today, it was again a battleground, as the supreme court heard a challenge to two arizona election laws. last year, a federal appeals court struck down both of them as violating th

the answer, meghan markle and a doll lop of dr. seuss. many of the rights parties constituents are struggling from a pandemic they long denied. with a president they want to lose, they are making a choice. duck real problem solving in favor of culture fights. be a true opposition party. one that opposes whatever it can as a proxy for getting anything done. they are simply against. and the top of the list is against owning the reality of racism. if that's not true, why else is there this markle madness on the gh

then they were mad about dr. seuss. then they were mad about joe biden's big meat ban, even though joe biden is not banning meat. that was totally made up. one fox news anchor, to his credit, yesterday did run an on-air correction positively -- apologizing for the fox newschannel saying biden would ban meat when that's not in the proposal at all. there was one reporter apologizing in front of america for hyping that story. for the last few days, republicans have been all over that. they've also been hyping a totally different, also totally false story that all kids detained by immigration authorities at the u.s. border were being given a child's picture book written by vice president kamala harris. the implication was they were giving the book to migrant kids at the border. that is totally made up. it is not happening. it is literally a story made up out of whole cloth. never proposed. but that's the latest one. it's become yet another new, animating, totally fake grievance in conservative media and among republican pol

the dr. seuss controversy and whether it's part of the cancel culture. >>> first, we will break things down on capitol hill. amanda golden is there, and the details about when americans might expect their relief checks. amanda, where do things stand on the covid relief bill? can senators take off now and go home and get some rest? >> yes, actually, we started to see some senators make their way home, heading to the airports, leaving within the last few minutes. as you said, the next step here really comes down to the house, which we just heard from leader steny hoyer, who said they're expecting to bring a vote tuesday. they released a statement saying they're going to bring this up and express confidence the changes made within the senate version of this bill will not be difficult to continue on to pass to bring to biden's desk. we also heard from senate majority leader chuck schumer in the last few minutes saying he spoke with president biden, he said they would get this done and get this th

potato head and dr. seuss, attacking joe biden for referring to lifting mask mandates as neanderthal thinking. we're seeing a perfect example of that model on display tonight right now as i speak to you as the senate moves towards a vote on the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill. and republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin is making good on his promise to slow down that relief, getting to americans by whatever ridiculous means necessary. >> i don't want to sound like a leftist, but i'm going to resist. the first way i'm going to resist is i'm going to go down and object to the waiving of the reading of the bill. i will make them read their 600, 700-page bill. >> good for you, senator. that's right. in the midst of a pandemic that's killed 520,000 americans -- thousands every day, every day, we're just numb to it now, but every day it continues. and it's put millions out of work. ron johnson wants to delay help getting out to the american people by forcing the senate clerk to read aloud all 728 pages

potato head and i hear about "dr. seuss" and the cancel culture. what are they thinking of healthcare and prescription drugs and environment and the spending since they went out the door and spending after donald trump. it is pathetic. erin, i will say this. if they win the majority, they'll moderate joe biden, i am surprised of joe biden's performance so far. if they win the majority, they'll moderate joe biden. they'll be happy with that. what are they going to be for or improve the lives of americans. that's why you get elected. you get elected to try to improve people's lives. this is a sad day in our country. another sad day. we'll get through it. >> jamie, i want to ask you about this vote, you point out last time a couple of months ago when there was a vote of cheney, she won it. it is going to be a secret ballot. oh, we hate you for this trump stuff but we'll vote for you. she does not think the secret ballot will go. >> no, maybe it won't be a secret ballot so governor kasich knows this better than i do. when you have a conference vote and

seuss books. when he had individuals in his own caucus, taylor greene, matt gaetz, doing the most outrageous not just dog whistles but out right racist comments, he hasn't made any move to remove them or or sensor them or reprimand him. how dare they have a discussion about maxine waters. he needs to look at his own caucus and clean up his own house. >> terms of what she said, is it helpful at a time like this if a conservative republican had said that about, you know, a rally of protrump protesters, a lot of democrats would no doubt said wait a minute, they are telling people to be confrontational with police when they're on the streets. is that really helpful? >> i think what maxine waters says is that we should confront the system that's created. the individuals have to be out there to protest. >> she didn't actually say that, though. >> that's what we need to confront on a regular basis. that, you know, police officers are killing our children. i have four sons that i worry about all the time,

we are the dr. seuss. they celebrated 25 epic years these weak. we reminded you every three minutes. no heartfelt wishes. only smug words of dismay and discussed. fox wasn't always the political it is today. the network evolved into the beating heart of the gop. clogged arteries in weak muscles . talk about projecting. is the only guide to eat crow and then ask for a second helping. it gets better. >> ed executives might say thei holding a mirror above the political science research is clear fox is not a mere, it's a accelerant for the families tha feel like they've been torn apart by fox. >> he is so funny. you want to talk about tearing the country apart, season has been the division for your. the only way to get them to address the accusations are his brother in in use harassment of stafford is a fox news talks about it. the reliable rotunda with and have a chÂteau. literally, i discovered it. you look lovely in person. have you ever thought about doing that? >> no one pays the rent. the landlord came out for seven years. don't know what we co

we're talking $1.9 trillion bill and republicans were reading dr. seuss on twitter while it was happening, which would suggest that they did not feel that within their coalition they really could ignite a backlash against this, and even though there was not republican support in washington, there were mayors, police chiefs in some cases and that is something that i think creates the different environment. while republicans are focused on culture, it leaves a lot of room on politic. >> ron brownstein, thanks for some bonus time today. thank you very much. we'll talk again, my friend. thank you. >>> break today, the cdc has finally revealed its long-awaited guidance on the dos and don'ts after getting the vaccine and the travel industry, specifically, is none too pleased about it. everyone. everywhere. where everyone is included. where everyone has access to information, education, opportunity. ♪ ♪ ♪ when everyone and everything is connected. that's really beautiful. anything is possible. good morning. cisco. the bridge to possible. not everybod

republicans were talking about dr. seuss. it'll be very interesting. mitch mcconnell and mccarthy, they want to go after this bill and message about how it's not really infrastructure, that only 5% is going to traditional infrastructure. is the rest of the party going to follow suit or talk about the all-star game? >> you heard roy blunt talk about the infrastructure. they know so much of the individual investments are popular. >> and they're no longer the party of physical restraint. >> joe biden if you want a 21st century economy, you can't have a medieval infrastructure. jackson, mississippi, you can't get fresh water. you can't in rural america get your child on the internet for school. all of us know parents can't get to soccer games on time and they have to budget an extra 20 minutes because of the congestion and problems. at the white house, and on the - relief bill, it was all about covid. on infrastructure, if you vote no, you're with china. if you vote yes, you're with america, and they're picking the right enemies for each of these battles.

scott fitzgerald, and even dr. seuss. that's not all. in san francisco, there's an ongoing debate over the push to change the names of dozens of public schools and renouncing names like washington and lincoln. let me be clear. the left is engaged in an all-out effort to censor, suppress, and destroy any and all materials that undercut their destructive forest fire of identity politics agenda. remember none of this is about logic. it's always been about power and a desire to destroy the principles that made this nation great. freedom of speech, free enterprise. a meritocracy which they can't compete in and that's why they do this. joining me now very action, civil rights attorney leo terrell along with salem radio host larry elder and civil rights attorney darrell parks. larry, this is getting pathetic. the danger zone we crossed a long time ago. i was talking on my podcast earlier today. they hate meritocracy. they think they are new educatee aristocrats, these leftists because they are basement dwelling marshmallow roasting in their mom

they want to talk about hamburgers and dr. seuss and crazy conspiracy theories about what really happened on january 6th. they believe that's the only way, the only path to power, even though they've lost the house, the senate and the white house, they are just inviting this incredibly craven and dangerous and escalatingly dangerous brand of politics that is going to continue to have dire consequences in the long run, even if they have short-term gains. in the long run, they are putting themselves in a position where they will be in permanent minority status. this country is changing. the demographics are changing. this will be a minority/majority country in a couple of decades. the rhetoric they are championing is putting them directly at odds where the demographics are going, and that's going to cost them dearly politically in the long run. >> well, we'll see. but for the democrats, it's, what are you willing to accept in order to try to strike a deal. and i'm not sure that these values that have been crossed can be accepted

potato head, dr. seuss, and so they've got tactics, but they don't have a general strategy to move conservatism forward. look at mitt romney being booed over the weekend and they're turning on their own in defense of a guy who lost the white house, the senate, and the house of representatives for them. what hope is there for this party? >> it is really amazing. and joe, you're right. people may not want to hear this or remember, but there was a time when conservatism had a proud intellectual pedigree. in fact, some of us thought maybe too intellectual for a while. not pragmatic enough. maybe a little too esoteric. there were serious thinkers doing serious work on public policy issues. and that's obviously over the years diminished, but i think donald trump really killed it. and maybe the worst thing donald trump has done is essentially undermined the entire conservative project. and joe, you probably remember, under the reagan years, it was thought that conservatism was a three-legged stool. you had f

for talking about dr. seuss, for talking about what they're against. for talking about these cultural issues instead of addressing all of the issues that are before them right now. if they don't like a bill, okay, come with your idea. let's hope that infrastructure passes on a bipartisan vote. let's hope -- the same with police reform and many others. it would be so important to this country to see the parties finally working together. heather, thank you so much for being with us. we really appreciate it. we love having you on. please come back soon. and of course, heather is the author of "the sum of us: what racism costs everyone and how we can prosper together." make sure you get it. and john, i can't help but notice off baseball glove in the background. i'm curious, kluber's no-hitter last night, the strike zone was the sides of a high school gymnasium. have you ever seen a strike zone that big? >> listen, i thought that was one of the greatest moments in baseball history, as a yankee fan, i just have to say, it was a beautiful thing. i cried a lit

now the left is bent banningt dr. seuss. this woke cancel culture fight against freedom is now spiraling way out of control. is a danger to everybody, in ways you can't even begin to imagine. we will be checking in with newt gingrich, lara trump, and kaylee mcinerney, now part of our fox family joining us tonight. lady later, a message for our od friend alec baldwin. statehood. we begin tonight with a cancel culture, and it is a tactic democrats and the media mob have weaponized against their political opponents. sadly, for years. and governor cuomo, new york governor, ordered geriatric patients infected withvi covid-9 back to nursing homes, causing a massive covid massive covert outbreak, and a wave of deaths among new york's elderlywa population, no one in the democratic party or the media mob seemed to care. imagine if it was donald trump. instead, they rewarded cuomo with an emmy for his press conferences, power point that somebody probably prepared for him. they published his self-congratulatory book. they lavished him

he accuses the left of trying to cancel dr. seuss. here is congressman tim ryan when he lost patience on the house floor. >> if we were passing a tax cut you would be getting in line to vote yes for it. stop talking about dr. seuss and start working with us on behalf of the american workers. >> he is absolutely right about that. they don't have any problem throwing down the debt and borrowing money. that is clear. how is the biden administration planning to manage this bill now? >> well, i think managing it will be the next big challenge this. is a big bill. the biggest cash infusion going to the american people, especially during the pandemic. >>menting it -- now the politic battle that is facing them. this is coming during tax season. the irs has a lot to deal with. they have to focus on sending out the $1,400 stimulus checks to americans that are eligible for them and how they are going to work with the child tax credit. this is something the white house press secretary talked about earlier today. it is not going to happen in the n

i think that's why republicans would rather talk about dr. seuss. try to stoke culture wars. because they don't particularly seem to actually have a policy agenda to help the working class. republicans would rather enflame resentments in hopes of increasing their power. >> when i was elected, i said we were going to get the government out of the business of battling on twitter. and back in the business of delivering for the american people. of making a difference in their lives. giving everyone a chance, a fighting chance of showing the american people that their government can work for them. and passing the american rescue plan will do that. >> there is a notion, right? that the two parties are increasingly hopelessly polarized. each side has retreated to its corner. and while that's partly true it is not the whole truth. because what's happening is not symmetrical. it's true, not a single republican has backed the new covid relief bill. but just think back over the past year. when donald trump, the republican president, was president and the economy cratered and the republi

dr. seuss, got it. but also instructive, i think, was this from senator mitch mcconnell, who is once again flat-out promising in advance that zero republican senators will vote for biden and the democrats next legislation, on infrastructure, on the american families plan. there will be legislation. the american family plan, there will be zero republicans voting for it. think about the implications of this. this ought to be the cause of wall-to-wall political coverage for days on end. but it is just something mcconnell said and we heard it in the beltway. and biden needing republican votes and he needs a big bipartisan show of hands and meeting with republicans. news flash, there's not going to be republican votes. he doesn't have to do any of those things. put that up again. the republicans are promising, saying out loud and ahead of time, no matter what is in the bill or how anyone talks to them or with them or about them, there will be zero republican votes promised in advance for infrastructure, for

dr. seuss. and who are you going to run against the guy that might have to run from prison, but he's probably still going to run. happy paul manafort's birthday, republicans. quiet now. the adults are working on something that could be a really big deal. we have more on that next. k your about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you a

. >> dr. seuss enterprises and ebay for citing stop publishing and halt sales and have of dozen dr. seuss books that now claim contain hurtful or racist images. this policy amazon a couple weeks back, stopping publication of a book on transgender studies. let's be clear where we are, we are in book banning territory. the people supporting this are not interested in making sure people understand history and educating them, they are taking away views altogether but it's very scary. paul: bill. >> paul, pope francis this week became the first pope ever to visit iraq. his visit brings pope to iraq's long-suffering population whose numbers have really dropped. he had a meeting today with ali systolic, moderating force in muslim. it is a hope reminding people the key to the middle east for its future is nations to be able to tolerate their religious minorities. paul: mary. >> a hit for spacex is serial number ten rocket which performed a perfect soft landing in texas this week after a 6-mile high ride in the sky. i know it blew up a few minutes later but air is a key part, i'd like to cal

at one point, massachusetts ed mark borrowed a page citing dr. seuss. this time it wasn't green eggs and ham but the lorax. seriously? >> i'll have to close with this short portion. here's what it says. but now says, now that you're here, the word of the lorax seems perfectly clear unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not. to my colleagues here in the senate, and everyone watching and following tonight, thank you for caring a whole awful lot. >> already. dr. seuss also said you'll miss the best things the you keep your eyes shut. while the stunt might have slipped by us while sleeping, cook and branson might have done more to wake people up. joining me now, christine romans. both have strong views on climate change. >> they do and have been vocal. carol, senate democrats are trying to stir the base, talk about what liberals want them to talk about. that's climate change. there's no meaningful legislation on the table. ceos have been saying climate change deniers stay out of our way. in particular, richard

they're talking about dr. seuss and potatohead. they're trying to wage these culture wars, because they know that's what their base likes, that's what keeps the cash registers ringing and what keeps fox viewers excited. but they're increasingly tangential to the real bids of american politics and american governance. and republicans are just marginalizing themselves in this alternative universe of alternative facts, where republicans and democrats seem much more centrist and much more pragmatic right now, which i think will further accelerate the shift in american politics. >> jon meacham is with us and has a question. jon? >> max, when you talk to people whether or not signing on immediately to your biden republican platform, what do they say? what do conservative intellectuals, individuals who have spent so much time thinking about america's role in the world, thinking about how the republican party can be an engine for liberty, not only at home, but abroad, do they see a post-trump future or at this point, is everybody just hunk

and talking about dr. seuss and mr. potato head and trying to enact racist voting laws in georgia so we are focused on the needs of the american people. i sure hope the people know it. >> the reason i concentrated on the affordable care act elements of the bill is there are so many things in this bill higher profile, more news reporting on them that the details of the expansion of the affordable care act have largely gone unnoticed in a lot of the coverage but it is the single biggest expansion of that legislation since it was enacted. >> it is really important. and i hope people understand that this is going to lower the premiums, significantly, for people who are on the exchanges but of course you also mentioned the expansion of medicaid and also going to cover people's cobra so if they try to hang on to the employer based health care they can do so with those costs covered so this is really a comprehensive set of protections around people's health care and the small business loans that have kept just in my district 1

seuss and mr. potato head and conspiracy theories and lies, making inane, absurd comparisons between the nazis and mask mandates, and literally not showing up to do their jobs. so we don't have two strong parties, that's clear. we have almost a failed party on the one side, and that's awful for the country. it's also just incredibly embarrassing to watch an american political body cower as they have, just to fetishize and service the emotional narcissism of one guy, the guy, by the way, who lost it all for you, who lost. it's maddening. it's maddening. and when i watch women like you had on, who lost people on that day, it is -- it's worse than maddening, it's infuriating. it's a disgrace. >> paul begala, i think your audio is back. you were saying nobody ever wants to be thrust into a position like this, you were praising sandra and gladys. >> they're just remarkable people. and the courage that they showed, the courage officer sicknick and his sisters and brothers in law enforcement showed that d

yeah, maybe you'll get your dr. seuss, you know, banning itch scratched but you won't be able to get your hear medt medicine by the way, there isn't going to be a coup and if there was, it would be a coup to take away your ability to do anything. i think look, a lot of people, you know, imagine that a coup or an armed insurrection is just going to be like camping out with the boys. it going to be a great time drinking pbrs. that's not true. there will be death. that death will be people you love. it's time we get past f fetishizing the violence and over throwing the government and the second amendment encouraging us to over throw the government. that is prosetected for times there is a military coup, no military member from the u.s. that takes the oath seriously would participate. not for i don't like the future of d r. seuss in this country. >> aplepreciate your time, than you. >> you bet. >> also, thanks to dana bash. >>> what are republican lawmakers doing in our country and why is kyung law running after them? w
