in las vegas? the mood was electric, one of the fighters who just won his fight, even jumping the cage to shake trump's hand and say hello, the former president, then pointing at famed podcaster comedian and ufc commentator joe rogan and walked over to him for another handshake and brief little chat. and before fight night, trump threw some jabs at his 2024 opponents. first florida governor grand a sentence then even president joe biden. so i don't i'm not a big fan of his, and he's highly overrated. he's highly operated. remember he's the one that wanted to cut social security. he's the one that wanted to raise the minimum age. the one thing you have to remember when a politician comes out with an initial plan, and then they go into a corner because they're getting killed because he's getting killed. we have a corrupt, incompetent leader in biden. we can't be kind anymore because that loves our off. the jar has been opened. he's totally compromise. well then chris christie, who was running against trump into santis for
things. we will stop the invasion at the border will take on the drug cartels will curtail the administrative state will get spending under control. we'll do all the things that they don't want to see done. well the santis seems to have a lot on his agenda that he wants to get done. but whether or not he's going to get the votes and get the same sort of rise out of people like president trump comes, i don't know. i heard. i actually heard that it was a twitter spaces that steve cortes was talking on. it wasn't as grim as it all seemed. he was basically saying, hey, we're the underdog. just wait. we're going to come and get them. so i think the santis and he was doing that in that interview with maria as well. it was a great interview the way he was kind of basically saying, like you know, we're working behind the scenes were on the ground. we're building the a team and you know he knows it's not a year out. but when things are happening basically next january, it's going to really start to hit it. those early states, right, but i think the santis is right to make that message. a lot of people in the media they do want to boost
polling certainly is paralleling what we're seeing here at ufc, but you see the media right now they're they're kind of losing steam when it comes to the santis, and we put up some of these headlines recently. wall street journal. the sanders campaign stalls as he tries to court. trump's gop fans and foes alike political we are way behind top two santas pack official sounds alarm is there, molly? i'm going to come to you on this. is there a situation where the santis can actually get the nomination because he has to appeal to some of the far right voters to get from? trump's base. he has to show his more far right than trump is on some issues like corporate oversight, even abortion. but then he's going to lose the independence and the moderate. so is there. a waiting clinched the nomination? think their strategy right now seems to be that he is very authentic and to take a look at what he's accomplished in florida and argue that he can do this across the nation, and this is when he got that initial steam why he's become, to some extent , the guy that's getting all the attention other than trump , though he may lament some of these headlines that you're seeing in the mainstream media and the liberal press and also
>> again, this is something that is -- is santis is clearly trying to use to tear away some of the core bit of trump's base, to show that he's more to the right than trump is on an issue that, you know, the reason that so many republicans don't believe in the efficacy of the covid vaccines is in part because of the way former president trump approached the whole response to covid in doubting scientists, in doubting the overall scientific response to it. but desantis has seen this as well as lgbtq rights and others as a way to move to the right of trump. >> fascinating stuff. more to come. thanks to all. concert goers got treated to a very different kind of show thanks to mother nature, but first here's alex marquardt in the situation room. >> we'll be speaking with a number of people who knew people onboard that fateful trip on the titan including aaron newman who
won't reveal an unclassified document to the american people . and so, yes, you care about classified information. a lot of americans have been killed. ring about classified information as everybody in the fbi was leaking like a sieve to the washington post in new york times fake controversies, but you don't hear the media, saying that they think the espionage act should be used against them or the people that they were working with to undermine the country. so we're seeing a lot of problems all across the board and congressman jordan. i know people watching us thinking we keep hearing these complaints all the time about the fbi been hearing this for years and the intel agencies when a republican is going to use the power of the purse and say, we're done you hear some of the presidential candidates ross ross swami, obviously trump and the santis. they all want to do something here, but now it's up to you all it sure is, and we will use the appropriations process. the first appropriation bill is going to pass next week out of the house, and then we have several others. we have to use the power of the purse and, frankly, what we also have to do. the reauthorization is up this year. we have to fundamentally change fight to
his entire life and then the last year he called himself dauh -santis. >> we'll call him whatever he wants to be called. >> i feel like i'm making fun of him when i call him desantis. >> so, i worry there are too many pronunciations. >> you've got trump now who has entered are desanctimonious. >> they also called him rod several times. >> robin stacey dee-san 'tis. >> dee-sanityies or -- santis. >> i'm just wondering to correct the record. >> that's ridiculous. >> listen, the way to pronounce my last name -- winner. >> winner, winner, chicken dinner. >> well, does that work? come on. >> think he should -- he needs to find one pronunciation and
it desantis. >> go to ron deesan 'tis.com. >> i'm ron dee san 'tis and i'm running for -- santis and i'm running for president. >> where do we go from here? >> here is why he's doing that because when you say desantis people think it's d-i-s. >> he's not going to get the money. >> he needs those -- >> so you think that's why he's punching that e -- >> dee-santis. >> he just wants people to give, give, give -- you can't blame the guy. >> dwren, saving my world. >> now -- again, saving my world, i think the media may need a style guide in desantis' pronounce -- pronunciation. >> he called himself desantis
washington to clean it up and own the libs, et cetera. not about public service. >> truly, a sad state of affairs. really bad for democracy. michael steele, david henderson, katie benner. thank you all for your time. next, a free speech organization and the country's large's book publisher sues a school district in round desantis's florida. santis's florida when i first noticed symptoms, which kept coming and going, i should have gone to the doctor. instead, i tried to let it pass. if you experience irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or light-headedness, you should talk to your doctor. afib increases the risk of stroke about 5 times. when it comes to your health, this is no time to wait. (man) it's pretty simple. i kinda just want things the way i want them. (woman) i want a network that won't let me down. even up here!
sophisticated protection or security screen. and so i think we're going to have to -- we're going to have to really talk about that as republican and democrats up here. what are we prepared to do? and how do we meet such a broad challenge? >> he said the two women attacked, the intern struck in the side and the outreach hit in the head was released from the hospital. motive unknown. we'll have an update on the homeland security operations at the southern border following changes to immigration restrictions. so far the predicted migrant crossings is not living up to expectations. and plus a subtle sign governor ron is santis is finally ready to officially launch his presidential campaign. those stories and a check on
