preside other many of them has articulated the frustration that some of the people who are tried for saying hey, the head honchos have not faced any charges yet. and yet you're sending me to jail. does this -- how does this work in court? because you've got these people in congress who are still carrying on about illegitimate prosecutions and witch hunts. and yet the wheels of justice are going on. people who were involved in january 6th are getting tried and charged and convicted. >> yeah, and it's interesting. you can tell who people are willing to jump up for. you don't see a bunch of members of congress necessarily coming to the defense of the proud boys because they don't want to be associated generally with that entire scenario. but just even today there was a defendant. actually a defendant who has been held for 2 1/2 years now, more than, that finally going to trial. the reason he was held is he didn't respect the court. he kept blowing off the court. he tried to interfere with his probation officer, all sorts of
behind this thing indicted at a federal level and in georgia. but there is this middle space. there are these proud boys and these oath keepers who were not casual observers. they were not chumps who happened to fall into it. they also weren't the brains of the operation. but they were violent, and they had extremist tendencies and goals, and we're on the precipice of seeing some more of them punished in a way that a lot of americans have been waiting for. >> you're absolutely right, ali. they were there. they were actors. we saw it with our own eyes unfold on the screens. some people were even living through it, some of our colleagues, members of congress, et cetera. and so, yes, you know, i think you're exactly right. will these sentences be hefty enough to be a deterrent for these would-be future insurrectionists? because what we know is the political climate in the wake of the 2020 election still exists.
americans that work for the company but until the head honchos of the company, until they do something, this is not going to stop any time soon, i promise you that. >> tomi, have to ask you about this. california governor gavin newsom was just in idaho, now he heads to montana and utah. he's campaigning for president biden, that's are all red states. some people are wondering, is he really campaigning for biden or building a base for himself? >> yeah, i mean, gavin, tell us you are running for president without telling us you are running for president. there would be no reason for him to traverse across the country if he wasn't running for president and i know you have seen the iconic disney film "the lion king," and that's where he is holding him over the cliff, what he is doing to joe biden. try to convince us left, right
online donors so critical to the trump and desantis campaign. we know trump, you know, went, you know, went gang busters with this stuff back in 2016 and kind of revolutionized campaigning on twitter and social media. i suppose that is part of it. >> it might be surreal to your average political observer and some of your viewers that your online train of trump and desantis and teams fighting over who will win control of the bill mitchells of the world, the dave rubins oft world or the christian walkers of the world. it might seem bizarre and strange that has seeped into mainstream political campaigning but if you talk to numerous head honchos and republican operatives leading the efforts, they will tell you that these messaging wars that are fought
fascinating addition. >> steve: he will be a ticket-splitter. if we can put that poll back up just a second. joe biden 62%. kennedy and william son and the others take up 28%. so when you think about that. about 3 in 10 democrats want somebody else. and that is why it's so extraordinary that the democratic honchos have decided you know what? there is not going to be a primary. joe biden is the incumbent. we are going to protect him. that does not set well with a lot of people because to your point, rachel, r.f.k. jr. has different points of view that kind of vetting process on the stage is what americans expect. that's why charlamagne tha god said it's crazy they are not going to do it. watch. >> aren't you embarrassed to be a democrat. >> i'm not a democrat. >> yeah, boy. >> i'm not a republican, either. >> yeah, boy. i'm nothing. >> what about you, chris?
