through in 2012, but when the shooting in newtown, connecticut, happened, the children were killed, they thought it was bad optics. they pushed it off. when the trump administration came in, the plan had been ready made. they picked it up and started to loosen some of the weapons. sig, in addition, used a lot of lobbying. they hired mike pence's former bundler, fundraiser for mike pence. they hired lobbyists in washington. they'd done a lot to cozy up to the trump administration. they met president trump the month before he ran for office. he went and toured in new hampshire, which is where sig is based and where the first republican primary is. it is a good place to make friends on the right. they started a long lobbying campaign. there was pressure on the state department to eventually let the sale go through. >> david, let's talk volume.
three points. >> sometimes it's trump in the lead in the national polls. >> neil: he keeps saying that i wouldn't place the ranch on it. >> people are focused because it's the republican primary on all the back and forth with trip and desantis. and chris christie. it's getting -- fur is flying. behind the scenes, the democratic side, this political article is worth reading. but it's also worth doing follow up reporting on, which is what i did. >> neil: but they're not enthusiastic. you can remember when the rank and file was not enthusiastic about jimmy carter. they were still behind him. >> you remember what happened the biden. he promised to be this unifying force. he went far left. look at his regulation. that's where if you're a democratic donor and bundler,
that it, quote, broke the internet. even though many other live stream events have gotten a bigger audience than that and other platforms can have more than a million people, traditional media outlets have millions of eyeballs as well. some of the critics are saying this is a missed opportunity, at best. others calling it a disaster. i did speak with a bundler for governor desantis who is expected to be here at an upscale hotel where the governor is expected to meet donors and fund-raisers later today. he tried to tell me that the general consensus is among people he is talking to in desantis world is that they are not blaming the governor's campaign team per se. he didn't squarely blame elon musk. but he did say that while it was confusing, it would the not set the campaign all that much that people will move on. right now, there's this concerted effort among that campaign team to try and turn
confide privately that they had lost hope in her. what about the big money fundraisers? they have bailed, too. bundler, john morgan, who used to raise money for slick wily told the "times" i can't think of one thing that she's done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies. and if you thought that was brutal, get a load of this. through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key democrats about what would happen if president biden opted not to run for a seconds term. most democrats interviewed who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the white house said flatly that they did not think ms. harris could win the presidency in 2024. some said the party's biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key democratic constituencies that would take offense. this is it. this is the beginning of the end for kamala. first it was pocahontas, then
just proves that how -- as payback, he's blocking schiff and swalwell, but to be clear, it's also retribution on behalf of mccarthy's other boss, donald trump. he claims he lied about triggering the whistleblower even though the source said the whistleblower had not met or spoken with schiff and everything in the complaint was ultimately corroborated in the investigation. as for swalwel, a 2020 axios story about a chinese spy who had fund raised for him as a bundler in 2014. swalwell cut off ties after being alerted by federal investigators. a "washington post" fact check points out that the axios report that started the fever dream itself never alleges swalwell
but as always, that was a lie. this bill didn't even mention the word , nothing to do with . florida voters seem to know that intuitively. even most democrats in florida supported this law. the polling firm public opinion strategies found out why they do quote fully two thirds of voters believe it is inappropriate for teachers or school personnel to discuss gender identity with children in kindergarten through third grade. well, of course it is. everyone thinks that so there was ever a law that accurately reflected public opinion which should matter in a democracy. this was the law. but across the country in the state of california, bob iger was watching and bob iger didn't like it. bob iger is the seventy one year old former head of disney. he's bundler for hillary clinton. he's got some free time and strong political views. he promptly tweeted the florida law was immoral somehow in an interview later with cnn with chris wallace, iger explained that preventing teachers from promoting gender reassignment surgery to kindergartners was quote harmful to children. i never explained how this was
remember the home invasion of the motown cofounder where the wife was shot dead? that and i believe the ucla girl that was stabbed to death by the homeless perp by a slew of felony conditions. those two things have galvanized, not just right-wing donors, but now left-wing donors in that whole area. they are coming out of the woodwork to recall the sucker. you now have george clooney's producer, you have hillary clinton's bundler, you have biden's pick for the ambassador to norway. bill clinton's friend -- you have sugar ray leonard, rosanna cut, they want to recall this guy. so now this is not even about politics. these are about people who live in this area and can't handle this guy anymore. i think this really signals that he is toast. >> geraldo: when the recall
the president, local council member. two, they want to know how that connection or support is going to affect their day-to-day life. whether it's education, health care, criminal justice. things they deal with on a day-to-day basis. this is all interesting and great fodder and one upmanship. but the people who are voting aren't going to understand what a bundler is. >> i think -- i think. >> i may be a bundler. >> people are starting to worry about how this whole sausage is made. we lived through 2016 where it was made in the same way it was made before, and it came out weird. >> those are good government types who support warren, mayor pete. will that make you decide whether you vote for them or not in the end? >> we are starting to reconsider our institutions, the way we do things. i don't think it will necessarily make you change your
but you'd have to run a campaign against him to make him vulnerable on this. and this is the question i have. do we really think any democrats would run the campaign to -- against him that could make him vulnerable? >> i'm not aware of any serious democratic candidates feeling particularly spooked by deval patrick. biden's fundraising is not awesome right now. he's had some challenges in the last quarter. the dollars could have been bigger than they wanted to. >> i bet he's not counting on deval patrick to do a fundraiser for him in boston anymore. >> probably not. >> and i bet you he was. >> exactly. deval patrick is the kind of person in an ideal world would be a very effective bundler, right? be able to bring together lots of folks to support you. that's not going to happen. but i don't think we're going to see any democratic candidates spend money on bill boards or tv ads going after patrick. he's getting in so late and even at this point, it doesn't seem like he's going to be particularly competitive. i don't think he worries elizabeth warren or pete buttigieg. >> anybody else feeling less confident that michael bloomberg's going to file? >> yeah, well you have to be because he hasn't filed.
