We re seeing her more and more on the trail, including in iowa, which is a really important state for ron desantis, but there is this thought among many of his backers that he needs to connect better with people and that the mainstream media is a conduit for that and that he s got to go there. it s part of the why, though, for desantis, right? he s trying to use part of the playbook to suggest that the media somehow excluded with others to make sure that people were going to suppress his numbers in some ways or that he was not going to get the favorable treatment. this reminds me of what happened a week ago when we heard more information about the notion of social media possibly that the hunter biden laptop and earlier in the year the congressional hearings about whether or not twitter and social media were invested in trying to squash a story in a way that was favorable in 2020, but who was he also pointing to? he s now point to go donald trump as the person who would be in the exec
The enemy, which we are not, we all agree not the enemy, he talks about it now, hold on, remember somebody worked with the enemy at that point and that is trump. so it s a way of flipping on its head in a novel way. i don t know it s going to work with the man you re talking about, but that s part of a playbook and you add one more element. the problem with the playbook is that donald trump doesn t actually believe that playbook. he has said he hates the media, they re lying, but he uses the media nonstop. his entire 2016 campaign was based on using the media, he didn t even pay for ads at that time. he has worked the media we know he wants attention from the media. he pays attention to all of these shows, he watching cnn constantly. that is something that we know. so that playbook maybe that s something that he says, but actually doing it is not something he does. desantis is actually following through with it, which might not be to his benefit. at ax joe we ve talked about it a
That desantis media has been entirely what he considers to be safe audiences. does that matter? this is always my question gchb the fact that it s a diffuse media eco sphere right now, trump proved that you can use the media in the way that you want to use the media, do you speak to just the media in your cocoon. in a republican primary where you have such a dominant force that kristen is covering every single day what do you have to do? is it a matter of sitting down with cnn and nbc and abc or something else? ron desantis biggest challenge that the republican base still likes donald trump. right. ron desantis is the number two candidate, it s not like he is at 3%. right. and raising a ton of money. by far the number two candidate but he can t take away from trump and that s been his challenge. i think his he s going to test all these doors and see what works and see if any of it matters, but fundamentally he s waiting for the base to lose faith in donald trump and if
Thinking, you know, there is tough times in ukraine and, you know, i m here playing in front of you guys and, you know, i cannot campaomplain, i just hav fight and try to win every single point and in the end here i am, i won the match. so really thank you so much. and on a brighter note, a happy ending after svitolina vent on social media that her wimbledon win streak forced her to sell her tickets to see harry styles in vienna over the weekend. well, styles returned her serve with an invite to any of the four remaining shows on the tour and wished her well in the tournament. congress back in session today with a long to-do list with little time. we re going to break down the looming deadlines on the agenda. plus i don t think there is unanimity in nato about whether or not to bring ukraine into the nato family now at this moment
Like your kids interpret the 12th place ribbon, it s a big stretch between the two. they give ribbons for 12th place? they do. i know you were a star in college. it s very personal. i m just skrg from a personal perspective. clearly the baseball champion, i get it. the 12th place ribbon 5 3 kid no, i was always number one. the point sths a distant second. the idea of attacking the media seems to be a successful then in a world where echo chambers are important. the primary versus the general a different ball game. whether the notion of the weaponization of federal government, weaponization of the media whether those will play into the favor of one particular candidate. it s not clear whether any of the weaponization comments are actually going to give him an advantage but so far he s trying them. and we ll see how his
