And cubas notorious Guantanamo Bay back in the news, the Biden Ministration could send some migrants fleeing gangs in haiti. There all right. 06 00 a. M. Here in washington. A live look at capitol hill. Morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Wonderful to have you with us. Weve got one nominee on the Campaign Trail and the other in a courtroom welcome to your 2024 splits green President Biden is in michigan today working to reinforce his mustwin blue wall in the midwest. And hes doing it the oldfashioned way think about this campaign is particularly here and my walk us specifically, but wisconsin generally and several other states, its going to get down to knocking on doors no fashioned way. No really is and it gets down to just make contact with people. Donald trump not doing it that way. You cant work a crowd when youre sitting in a courtroom. And thats where trump is expected to be today. He and his legal team trying to convince a florida judge to throw out his classified Documents Case they plan to argue that the former president had the right to legally take any document he wanted just to reminder trump employee number five, brian butler did tell cnn this week that he remembers moving boxes with classified material as part of this alleged cover up at maralago you noticed that he had thought they were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. Thats what i remember loading. And did you have any time any idea at the time that there was potentially Us National Security secrets in his boxing . No clue. No. I had no all right. Lets break it all down. Republican strategist Sarah Longwell joins us, former Obama White House staffer Ashley Allison is here and molly ball, she is senior Political Correspondent for the wall street journal welcome. This is the kind of day i think were going to be having a lot of these kinds of days. Although i guess if donald trump has anything to say about it hes going to delay these cases long enough that we never actually see any of them really go to trial. Sarah longwell, The Big Question that i have today is that we are firmly now in General Election mode, right . With two presumptive nominees. This is not the primary campaign. Do you think that this is something that is effective for trump . In a General Election to show up these trials when he doesnt have to. It clearly worked for him in the primary, but those work man now yeah. The thing to understand about the voters is theres a large gap between what republican primary voters want and what General Election swing voters will tolerate or interested in. So trump living in a courtroom is not attractive. Just sort of General Election swing voters, they want him talking about immigration and the economy and the visuals of him just sitting in courtroom after courtroom are not going to work well for him and the other thing about the voters on the legal stuff is that so far he is like white noise to the voters. Trump has this magical ability when he does something wrong, he goes all in, right . So theres 91 indictments and voters cant tell them part and so as the cases get underway and, the whole country starts to tune in to each individual case. I think people are going to start having more opinions about each individual case. And this one in particular, the Documents Case. What it highlights, see right now, people are sort of like will pence mishandled documents, Biden Mishandled dock humans. But this time itll allow people to understand. Yeah, but trump was told to give them back and refused. Trump engaged in a coverup to keep them from going back. And so as those things he showed them around to other foreign officials. Thats the kind of stuff that will start to seep in with voters during the General Election. You think so . Perhaps the independent night, the base, the base is like where they are and i think the question is, the megaphones around him. So trump will push this narrative. And honestly today, most of the congressman, the senators, the folks who are also running on the ballot this Election Cycle have fallen in line and push the narrative. And so the question i have is that will they continue or for people who are in some of these highly contested purple districts, this cycle, particularly in the house, they cant totally align themselves with donald trump right now in the General Election. Do they just try and ignore it . Do they pivot . Do they say, well, you know, for independent voters voters who are saying, who have some questions, how are they going to handle it today . We havent seen there be a crack in the wall right now. Or the trump narrative, but i am interested in some of these more vulnerable districts. What happens . Molly ball, whats your sense politically speaking to sarahs point about how its kinda all muddled together right now, if we start to get any separation on these cases, which one may matter the most . I mean, ive had some strategists say that this documents one might actually be the thing that could damage him the most because its in some ways the easiest to understand, but im curious what your reporting is well, i think the Timeline Matters and the fact that we think that the new york one is going to go on trial first is going to sort of set the set, the tone, set the stage, and most people do view that as the weakest of the cases and that could substantially muddy the waters. I do think that most people do see the 91 as this undifferentiated mass and it will be hard to break through particularly with the proceedings that are not televised. They will not all be televised. By some of them will some of them wont. Do people have any appetite for this, right . I think a lot of people just feel sick of it and dont want to hear about any of it. But we do hear the Biden Campaign already starting to make this case in their first General Election ads, that what this is about is trumps selfinterest, that theyre saying that you have president whos fighting for you, and then you have this former president who is preoccupied with his own issues, his own victimhood, and thats the narrative theyre going to continue to push. And i think that has the virtue of not needing people to differentiate and pick apart all the differential, all the different aspects of all of these cases saying well, this ones about an Adult Film Star this one about National Security. This ones about january 6, because i think there is a weariness with just the sheer volume of this stuff. So by making this overriding argument, i think the Biden Campaign hopes that that people can see this all as one thing and about an all as about trump and his preoccupation so speaking of the way people view things, ed lewis has this column in the Financial Times today. And the headline is democracy dies in trumpian boredom. And he writes, quote, his untruths, merit, a shrug. Everyone elses qualify as a scandal. This dual standard is to a large extent subconscious in 2018, trumps then chief strategist, steve bannon, described as Media Tactics as flooding the zone with s h, t. The more Bizarreness Trump generates, the less people. Notice sara this seems pretty on point to me. People that are running against to trump. I mean, how do you fight back against that look, i think first of all, i think thats 100 right . The psychology of people are just not built to take this and look one of the main tactics of autocrats and authoritarians is to exhaust pete mall, right . Thats what they want you to be. They want you to be too exhausted to fight back. They want you to be too exhausted to parse through all the noise to figure out whats going on and so you break through by not getting exhausted, right . Like this is the time for joe biden and his campaign to roll out 1,000 surrogates to go on offense against donald trump and say, you do not want this guy and i agree with molly, you dont have to talk about each individual case youve to say this guys running for president to stay out of jail. Hes got half 1 billion plus in legal fees that hes going to raise from you. Those are the kinds of things you do to sort of pain and overall picture, theres a reason that roughly 30 of republicans say that if trumps convicted of a crime, they wont vote for him. Now that number is too high, but it demonstrates that there are people well who are saying, yeah, look, get back to me when theres a verdict on something and if he is guilty like that matters to me yeah. But ashley at loose goes on to write, no matter what approach americans media takes to trump controversy is assured, ignoring what he says is negligence, running his speeches live as an inkind subsidy. Okay. We can debate that the same applies to he said she said traditional reporting, Fact Checking is for losers. I mean, clearly democrats have a lot of opinions about how the media should or shouldnt cover donald trump. The bottom line seems to be that the bannon strategy seems to have worked for him for awhile. And what is the right answer in this environment . Well into an addition to what sara was saying about what autocrats and dictators try and do with exhaustion. They also then trying to undermine the institutions that can potentially bring you back and say, wait a minute, we have like the fact checkers, right . And then they discredit and trump has been doing that naming the media, all these Different Things in his first term you cannot run away from the truth if you want to hold donald trump accountable. And i think you have to acknowledge that there are, theres a component of the Republican Party that i was just always going to be with trump. But i dont know if its enough if you do all the things like factcheck, like hold him accountable by the press. People, even in their party. Not a lot, but those who want to, the independent voters, the republicans who are never trumpers, if you, there are more of them in this country than there are the base that want to buy into allowing more people to be confused and exhausted by the narrative and to steve bannons. And so i think if you seed and you just say like, how that strategy is working, and lets pivot and said, and lets just pay only attention. Then it kinda gets away with it. He kind of win so we cant allow his nonsense just two operate with free re, because thats his goal when i think the big challenge is that it takes an electorate thats not exhausted to your point to actually take in whatever is going on. I mean, i was sort of laughing over a new yorker cartoon that had a guy on a couch or the blanket over his head and the caption as you want me to take that off after the election, write it like speaks to something thats going on here. But at this same time, this is arguably the most consequential election we face, certainly in the modern era. All right, our panel is gonna come back.

The Biden Administration could have a new plan to deal with the worsening situation in haiti. Discussions are underway to use Guantanamo Bay as a processing facility. Should there be a mass exodus of haitian migrants . In the coming weeks . The United Nations says over 15,000 people have been displaced as haitis government has been effectively overthrown by gangs. Or so alvarez joins us now from the white house with the details. Priscilla people are going to hear Guantanamo Bay and think one thing about terrorism but this has often been used for migrant processing. What can you tell us about the administrations thinking in crafting this plan yeah. Kasie, for years, Guantanamo Bay has had a Migrant Center where it can hold and process migrants. This is separate from the facility where they hold Terrorist Suspects and the detainees do not mix with the migrants, but a us official now tells me that there are discussions to potentially expand that facility in anticipation of a potential mass exodus of haitians leaving the country given the situation on the ground there. Now when i asked the white house about this and the National SecurityCouncil Spokesperson told me the following quote, we are cleareyed that economic, political, and security and stability are key drivers for migrants around the world. We are closely monitoring the situation and the routes frequently used by migrants to reach our borders. And at this time, irregular migration flows through the caribbean remain lo
