the media would go easy on biden because, basically, he s not trump? that s out the window. look at sunday s new york times. biden s age is a big problem. polls show many americans consider mr. biden too old, and some democratic strategists do not think he should run again. monday s new york times, most democrats don t want biden to run again in 2024. that figure, 64%. tuesday, a times columnist pleads with biden not to run, and then there s the former president. tuesday s times, half of gop voters to leave trump behind, poll finds, and a significant number vowing to abandon him if he wins the nomination. trump s response, this is good, the failing new york times is down 40% year to date because if they are fake news. their reporters are dishonest. they hate our country. the new york times is truly the enemy of the people. now, of course the media would be committing hall practice if they didn t report on malpractice if they didn t report on biden s awful poll numbers or
President trumps Hush Money Trial. He laid out tons of evidence during his testimony including tapes and emails and photos and calendar events. Impressive. One of trumps lawyers might win a case. Well, outside the court defending trump, he made a fraudian slip. Lets pray for our other side on this shameless prosecution. Good morning. Welcome to morning joe.

to donald trump. howard: leslie, an abc reporter asked the president about the poll story, and i want to take a look at what he said. mr. president, what s your message to democrats who don t want you to run again? they want me to run. two-thirds said read the polls. read the polls, jack. polls show that 92% of democrats, if i ran, would vote for me. howard: the reporter s name isn t jack, by way. [laughter] leslie, it s true that the polls, if biden ran, 92% of democrats would vote for him, presumably against trump or someone else. but he s saying they want me to run. that s exactly the opposite of what that poll shows, the reporter was right. well, was the reporter right, is the poll right, is the poll one poll? we say that because the week before what we saw for both democrats and are republicans is at the end of the day, as we saw
murphy made. if you got evidence and you lied to us, you newe need to know it. it is important that michael cohen and his team have not d y denied the story. they denied other allegations that s been made, for example, the dossier and michael cohen went to prague. he denied this report the other day that he handed cash in a bag to somebody in connection to that online poll story. and as you also mention the white house team and the rudy giuliani s team, it took them 14 hours to issue a clear denial of the story. it seems like hogan giddily on fox news seems to be unprepared and they do not know the facts but unwilling to stick their necks out not knowing the fact and now we have rudy giuliani
