RUSH TRANSCRIPT Welcome back ░░░░░░░░ in our politics lead ░░░░░░░░ President Trump wants congresswoman ░░░░░░░░ stefanek to replace congresswoman ░░░░░░░░ Cheney in Cheney s ░░░░░░░░ position That vote to ░░░░░░░░ Cheney all but certain ░░░░░░░░ happen on may 12th ░░░░░░░░ reason they are purging ░░░░░░░░ Cheney is pretty clear ░░░░░░░░ House Republican leaders McCarthy ░░░░░░░░ Scalise have decided to ░░░░░░░░ all in on the ░░░░░░░░ lie about the election ░░░░░░░░ stefanek is on board ░░░░░░░░ has the quaint notion ░░░░░░░░ lying to the American ░░░░░░░░ is not good Let ░░░░░░░░ discuss Congresswoman Mia Love ░░░░░░░░ former colleague Elise stefanek ░░░░░░░░ the support of Trump ░░░░░░░░ Scalise Is this race ░░░░░░░░ and is Liz Cheney ░░░░░░░░ Well it s really ░░░░░░░░ how people are defining ░░░░░░░░ now If you look ░░░░░░░░ the record of both ░░░░░░░░ them lifetime American conservative ░░░░░░░░ conservative union Cheney had ░░░░░░░░ conservative rating where stefanek ░░░░░░░░ 44 You hook at ░░░░░░░░ action Cheney has 80 ░░░░░░░░ stefanek has 42 It ░░░░░░░░ really quite interesting to ░░░░░░░░ because this is not ░░░░░░░░ disagreement on policy It ░░░░░░░░ not a disagreement on ░░░░░░░░ It s a disagreement ░░░░░░░░ a former president that ░░░░░░░░ an insurrection on the ░░░░░░░░ literally attacked a Branch ░░░░░░░░ government so I just ░░░░░░░░ t understand what type ░░░░░░░░ message There s so ░░░░░░░░ they could be focused ░░░░░░░░ in terms of spending ░░░░░░░░ in terms of all ░░░░░░░░ the programs that the ░░░░░░░░ wants to put out ░░░░░░░░ This is a chance ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans to say ░░░░░░░░ it s too much ░░░░░░░░ fast Focus on what ░░░░░░░░ happening with the economy ░░░░░░░░ what s happening with ░░░░░░░░ debt instead of trying ░░░░░░░░ eat each other up ░░░░░░░░ s just ridiculous to ░░░░░░░░ Paul I guess we ░░░░░░░░ know what this is ░░░░░░░░ mean congresswoman love just ░░░░░░░░ us pretty clearly It ░░░░░░░░ not about chain is ░░░░░░░░ conservative not only more ░░░░░░░░ than stefanek arguably more ░░░░░░░░ than McCarthy and Scalise ░░░░░░░░ are leading the cause ░░░░░░░░ the purge certainly more ░░░░░░░░ than Donald Trump but ░░░░░░░░ is about fealty to ░░░░░░░░ and his lies Paul ░░░░░░░░ wonder does this matter ░░░░░░░░ Washington D C Is ░░░░░░░░ something that voters will ░░░░░░░░ about let s say ░░░░░░░░ moderate Republican voter who ░░░░░░░░ to take a chance ░░░░░░░░ go for Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ fall is this something ░░░░░░░░ will matter to them ░░░░░░░░ think it can and ░░░░░░░░ think Mia makes a ░░░░░░░░ good point in that ░░░░░░░░ can matter to voters ░░░░░░░░ it can also distract ░░░░░░░░ from issues that Republicans ░░░░░░░░ want to run on ░░░░░░░░ know I I just ░░░░░░░░ parties exist for two ░░░░░░░░ right to advance ideas ░░░░░░░░ to win elections Miss ░░░░░░░░ voted against the Trump ░░░░░░░░ cut I happen to ░░░░░░░░ with that but I ░░░░░░░░ pretty liberal and I ░░░░░░░░ t feel very comfortable ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party but ░░░░░░░░ s much more liberal ░░░░░░░░ most of her Republican ░░░░░░░░ yet they don t ░░░░░░░░ because she s swearing ░░░░░░░░ oath to Trump so ░░░░░░░░ are not pushing ideas ░░░░░░░░ They didn t even ░░░░░░░░ a platform in the ░░░░░░░░ elections which has never ░░░░░░░░ in American history Now ░░░░░░░░ elections is the other ░░░░░░░░ f Trump helped them ░░░░░░░░ that I would understand ░░░░░░░░ and I would respect ░░░░░░░░ He doesn t Trump ░░░░░░░░ the first president since ░░░░░░░░ to preside over his ░░░░░░░░ losing the White House ░░░░░░░░ White House and Senate ░░░░░░░░ s a hat trick ░░░░░░░░ s very hard to ░░░░░░░░ 90 years since anybody ░░░░░░░░ lost all three in ░░░░░░░░ a four year span ░░░░░░░░ doesn t help them ░░░░░░░░ The truth is they ░░░░░░░░ history on their side ░░░░░░░░ get to draw the ░░░░░░░░ in redistricting and passing ░░░░░░░░ voter suppression laws which ░░░░░░░░ know we ll get ░░░░░░░░ so they have a ░░░░░░░░ of structural advantages Trump ░░░░░░░░ a disadvantage It s ░░░░░░░░ a personality cult and ░░░░░░░░ a political death cult ░░░░░░░░ s also strange about ░░░░░░░░ Mia is today Trump ░░░░░░░░ his press release and ░░░░░░░░ his blog went after ░░░░░░░░ calling her a warmonger ░░░░░░░░ also attacked Mike Pence ░░░░░░░░ not overturning the election ░░░░░░░░ Pence did not have ░░░░░░░░ power to do and ░░░░░░░░ for losing the Georgia ░░░░░░░░ though arguably Trump had ░░░░░░░░ more of a disadvantage ░░░░░░░░ caused much more disadvantage ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans than mcchannel ░░░░░░░░ I mean what occurs ░░░░░░░░ me here is that ░░░░░░░░ doesn t just want ░░░░░░░░ to buy in on ░░░░░░░░ one lie about the ░░░░░░░░ or the second lie ░░░░░░░░ the insurrection It s ░░░░░░░░ whole new universe of ░░░░░░░░ You have to walk ░░░░░░░░ and you have to ░░░░░░░░ that Mike Pence had ░░░░░░░░ power to overturn the ░░░░░░░░ and Mitch McConnell is ░░░░░░░░ reason they lost Georgia ░░░░░░░░ never ends It s ░░░░░░░░ whole movement that you ░░░░░░░░ never be 100 with ░░░░░░░░ president on and the ░░░░░░░░ is he requires 100 ░░░░░░░░ and so that s ░░░░░░░░ s really interesting to ░░░░░░░░ Let s take this ░░░░░░░░ that he believes which ░░░░░░░░ does believes that the ░░░░░░░░ was stolen from him ░░░░░░░░ of using his money ░░░░░░░░ his voice to attack ░░░░░░░░ Republicans why not go ░░░░░░░░ and actually try to ░░░░░░░░ some of the things ░░░░░░░░ you claim are wrong ░░░░░░░░ that s not what ░░░░░░░░ s doing at all ░░░░░░░░ yes I do believe ░░░░░░░░ Trump helped in some ░░░░░░░░ I think this is ░░░░░░░░ about money This is ░░░░░░░░ being able to raise ░░░░░░░░ and I think there ░░░░░░░░ a cost to that ░░░░░░░░ know What you re ░░░░░░░░ is you re sticking ░░░░░░░░ the president but in ░░░░░░░░ meantime the ideas that ░░░░░░░░ re supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ out the ideas that ░░░░░░░░ believe in some of ░░░░░░░░ Republican ideals are getting ░░░░░░░░ and the conference is ░░░░░░░░ torn apart so you ░░░░░░░░ to ask yourself is ░░░░░░░░ worth that and I ░░░░░░░░ t think he is ░░░░░░░░ today McConnell said his ░░░░░░░░ just 100 stopping the ░░░░░░░░ Administration Here s what ░░░░░░░░ president Harris had to ░░░░░░░░ about that Take a ░░░░░░░░ We are sincere and ░░░░░░░░ about the potential to ░░░░░░░░ get something done together ░░░░░░░░ believe it s possible ░░░░░░░░ we re not going ░░░░░░░░ give up on that ░░░░░░░░ it becomes evident that ░░░░░░░░ s not possible Is ░░░░░░░░ possible Paul Anything is ░░░░░░░░ as Cory Booker is ░░░░░░░░ prisoner of hope McConnell ░░░░░░░░ running the same playbook ░░░░░░░░ he ran against president ░░░░░░░░ Obama in President Obama ░░░░░░░░ first term I m ░░░░░░░░ sure that the same ░░░░░░░░ works now for a ░░░░░░░░ of reasons First people ░░░░░░░░ really like what Biden ░░░░░░░░ doing They like getting ░░░░░░░░ 400 in their checking ░░░░░░░░ They like being able ░░░░░░░░ see their children and ░░░░░░░░ again without having to ░░░░░░░░ masks because they got ░░░░░░░░ arms around this Covid ░░░░░░░░ They like what Biden ░░░░░░░░ doing and so when ░░░░░░░░ leads his team to ░░░░░░░░ all of these things ░░░░░░░░ Some of which Trump ░░░░░░░░ for My gosh Trump ░░░░░░░░ 2 000 in everybody ░░░░░░░░ pocket too I don ░░░░░░░░ think it s a ░░░░░░░░ strategy for him and ░░░░░░░░ vice president right to ░░░░░░░░ to leave the door ░░░░░░░░ to principled compromise with ░░░░░░░░ Feigning the desire to ░░░░░░░░ Bart is always a ░░░░░░░░ strategy at least in ░░░░░░░░ first few months Thanks ░░░░░░░░ joining us A new ░░░░░░░░ over new proposed
