  Speaker 2: Senior White House correspondent Jackie Heinrich joins us Live with
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the details.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Jackie, Hey, good morning guys. According to this
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: new report from Axios, a bunch of centrist House Democrats
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: are quote preparing for war if the new slate of
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: far left members who just won their Democratic primaries ultimately
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: end up joining their ranks in Congress and try to
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: hijack the House floor to extract ideological concessions. Thirteen House
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Democratic members and candidates signed onto a Promise to America initiative.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: They're pledging to stay true to centrist principles including capitalism
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: over socialism, fiscal discipline, strong borders, and pride in the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: United States. Among them current House reps Tom Swazi, Adam Gray,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Laura Gillen, Don Davis, Kristin McDonald, Rivett, Josh Scott, Heeimer,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Maggie Goodlander, Janelle Binem, Vicente Gonzales, and Susie Lee. One
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of these lawmakers told Axios quote there's going to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: war calling the incoming leftist members bomb throwers, not problem solvers.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Here's Tom Swazi.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: As we said in our pledge, you know, we're for capitalism,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: not socialism. We're for safety and not lawlessness. We're proud
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: of America, not ashamed of America. And we need to
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: be promoting those things. And you know, the far left
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: and the far right, you know, they're all very well organized.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: But those of us that don't support those far left
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: or far right principles need to do a better job
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: organizing and getting our message out.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: This comes after candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: America defeated several well funded incumbents with the help of
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: endorsements from New York City Mayor Zorroon Mam Donnie. Fox's
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Chad Pergram talked to Congressman John Larson about the fallout.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: We'll see what are you talking about, angriss have to
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: do with elections in New York. The voters of New
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: York make up their own We don't control voters of
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: New York. In America and on a free democratic republic,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: people get to choose their elective representatives. The people of
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: New York have made a decision.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: And the result is widely expected to deliver the largest
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: far left coalition in history after the new candidates join
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: ranks with the current squad members in the House.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I believe in capitalism, so I'm not a socialist, so
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether that's an issue or not.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Look, I think what happens in New York City is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: is sort of just what happens in New York City.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: When we have the power, we're not afraid to use it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: The coalition could also pose a problem for House Minority
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Leader Hakim Jeffries if Democrats end up taking a majority
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: in November and Jeffries tries to take the speaker's gabble.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Guys, Jackie, I don't have to tell you, it's not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just New York City. Graham Platner is a socialist. The
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: mayor of Seattle is a socialist. The congressman from Philadelphia
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is a socialist. So for people to pretend it's just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a New York City thing you're in DC, they can't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be sincere, can they?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: They might not be paying attention because, as you mentioned,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: it is happening everywhere. And you know what better example
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: than the one you referenced in Maine Graham Plattner, who
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: has a lot of baggage that Democrats were willing to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: look over all, you know, trying to just unsee Susan
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Collins in the Senate, who is, by any measure, probably
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: one of the largest Republican checks on the president's agenda.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: But despite her being you know, she voted to impeach him,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the Democrats don't see her as someone who is moderate enough,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: and they want to go all the way to the left,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to the point where they will look over the Nazi tattoo,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the texting, and any number of other issues to launch
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: him into a position to unseat her.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Jackie, thanks so much, Thank you, Jackie.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Well, the problem with the Democratic part is that there's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: no real leadership. No one wants to speak with more clarity.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: No one wants to check the socialist but John Fetterman,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: but he's not the leadership, and they want to primary him.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Michigan Democrat Senator Alyssa slock And made a similar point.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Hereses, there is every single day a debate going on
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: in the Democratic Party. And for me, this is why
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I'm a big believer in just new leadership, significant change.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: The old models do not work for people, and that
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: includes in the Democratic Party. I think we have literally
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: found ourselves in a situation where we just don't have
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: people who understand the moment and understand what leadership means.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So, okay, you could say that, and she did win
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: by a handful of votes over somebody who's conservative and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the congressman who is now running again in Michigan.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But when you look at who's running now in Michigan
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: for the to join her as junior senator, this guy
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is Hassan l Abdul l Sid. This guy is as
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: left as it gets. He is a socialist, and he
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: got the endorsement of Senator Van Holland yesterday. So if
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you are one of the leaders and establishment Democrats, you're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: not one of the thirteen that you just interviewed before
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with led by Tom Swasey and Laura Gill and Adam
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Gray and all the others like Josh Gottheimer. You now
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: have the established senators going forward, socialists like Platiner. When
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you have Platner, qu's got van Holland again, and then
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you have this guy over in Michigan.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: So it's rare to hear a Democrat say what. Alyssa
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Slotkin said, they normally unite, they normally stick together. You
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: have a Nancy Pelosi, who's who at a time we
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: were saying, she doesn't agree with the squad, but she
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: has to make it look like they're all united because
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: they're all Democrats, and that's what Democrats are known to do.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: And now they're all saying, hold on a minute, maybe
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: they need to have their own party. And James Carvel said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: he said, y'all go find your own party. Stop trying
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: to become Democrats, because you're really just using us for power.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: You're not really a Democrat. It looks like America should
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: have three different parties now, the Republicans, the Democrats, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: then the socialists because they're trying to take over the
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Democratic Party. But you have these moderates who don't know
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: where to go. And look at the swing states. You
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: have Michigan and Pennsylvania where there are socialists on the ballots.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: One of them is who the guy you were talking about.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Abdul l sied he was the one who got caught.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Audio tape saying that some of his let's not talk
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: about the Supreme Leader being killed by the president of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the United States and Israel because some of our people
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: will be upset about right, right.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: And then look at Pennsylvania. You have Chris rabb who's
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: running for Congress.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And look at the margin and victory that Donald Trump want.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Is this going to win a swing state?
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's swing states, and Donald Trump he won in
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: these states, but by small margins.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I just think it's just funny that Alyssa Slockean talks
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: about leadership. She hasn't spoke that with more clarity against
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: this guy that's running in her state that is the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: leading candidate. Leadership starts locally. Speak again, clean up your
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: own state before you start talking about national politics.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're a leader, the thing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you're always wrestling with I want as many people in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the House as sent as possible. So if you go
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that that's not what I believe, maybe you're breaking up
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the tent. That's why the Freedom Caucus wasn't necessarily bilified
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: when they were in races by John Bahner and others.
