would it have been a cakewalk, really, for republicans in the 2024 election? and all of the distractions, save, of course for the classified documents scandal, to have been avoided? >> the answer is yes. and, to make it even more painful, if he would have just run a normal campaign, and talked about all the things he did during the presidency and the conservative leadership that -- conservative governors instead of creating a three ring circus, joe biden literally hung out in his basement and beat donald trump. so, it's even painful. but i think there is some even more second going on from these 18 other co-indicted individuals, and 30 unnamed coconspirators. can you imagine the conversation happening around their kitchen tables, where their spouses are asking them, now, tell me again why we are going to cash in our entire life savings and sort of reputation, because of, what? something you don't even really believe happened? i can't imagine how difficult those conversations are. >> that's an interesting notion. one is the indictment of just how impactful money is in a
commentator and former lieutenant governor of georgia, jeff duncan. nice to see you this evening. all eyes are on georgia. day have been for a very long time. i want to take a step back, away from the nuances of all of this, as it's going to unfold. had donald trump, had he accepted the election results as free and fair. had he not been searching for the 11,780 votes, would it be a cakewalk in the 2020 election, and all of the distractions, save for the classified documents scandal, to be avoided? >> the answer is yes. and to make it more painful, if he had just run a normal campaign, talked about all the things he did during the presidency and the conservative leadership and leaned into conservative governors, instead of creating a three-ring circus, joe biden hung out in his
also stonewalling request to meet with gold star families of all people. they lost a loved one during the disaster withdrawal from afghanistan. meanwhile, in what some are coming a middle finger to the families of the victim's of september 11. biden is apparently, get ready for this, sit down. apparently planning to offer the mastermind of 91 cuddly chick mohammed a plea deal allowing him to avoid the death penalty. as obama once reportedly complained, never underestimate joe's ability to f things up. now, even hispanic voters are shouting joe biden because of their economic policies. needless to say 2024 will not be a cakewalk for the big guy. your birthmark, congressman darrell isa. along with the author of the new book, 4 presidents, kennedy, nixon, biden, trump beard leaders are changed history and changing times. former clinton defendant doug shown. jenna man thank you for joining me. it's interesting congressman isa, hispanics are rejecting him. however we are, whatever our party, whatever our sexual orientation or gender or
tim scott is actually very, very conservative. i don't think that people really give that a great deal of value. he has one of the most conservative voting records up there. but he does have to answer for the record back home in south carolina and many of the failures and the well-being of the state of south carolina. but all in all, he is a friend of mine, and he's somebody who is at least palatable -- is that the right word? he's palatable on the republican side. he's better than a lot of these guys running. but at the end of the day, this race is donald trump's alone. >> trump's been trolling a lot of the candidates out there. >> specifically trolling ron desantis, which is the campaign they spend most of their time on. trump went to the iowa fair. he was on the plane more than on the ground. >> quite a long time. >> long flight for a short cakewalk. you want to show people you're going to earn it. desantis was doing the fair,
world, saying that we want to be paid fairly for our labor. we want to make sure that you're not gonna be able to pay us for a day of work, scan our digital license, and then use that moving forward forever. and this is not just about the biggest celebrities out there, this is also about people who sag-aftra, if i remember correctly, the average number makes about $26,000 a year, not a lot. so, these are people who are trying to get gigs, they're trying to make enough to get sag after a health insurance every year, who are out there on the picket line, saying look, we're not gonna show up to perform for not just a new scanner license and news that imagery moving, forward without compensation. the fact that the studios came into this thinking that it's gonna be a cakewalk basically after, it's one of the many of the same issues -- wga. it's really amazing to me that they did not recognize how big a deal this is going to be.
ultimately contributed to the dissolution of the soviet union. what is ironic and interesting here, not to mention tragic for ukraine, is putin went into ukraine thinking it'd be a cakewalk, thinking it'd bolster his position at home and internationally, but it's turned out anything but. again, prigozhin's critique of the war, i thought, was really, really interesting. we'll see whether it picks up support in the military, who are essentially dying for this adventure, whether it picks up support at home because there's all sorts of loss of life and, economically, it's been costly. again, to me, what's really interesting going forward is whether, at some point, putin, potentially with chinese push, decides it is time to cut his losses, and whether there's just maybe a positive thing here. put aside the question of whether putin survives politically. also ask the question what it means for ukraine. might this create a circumstance where putin defines success
silence. sweltz reporting on the ground there is stepped up fighting. the question here is what can ukraine do? we're looking at 300 miles of front with russians who have spent months digging in, and so last fall when ukraine took kherson, when it took kharkiv, russian defenses -- they poked holes prettyizeally in russian defenses. it's unlikely they're going to have that cakewalk this time around given russia's sort of preparation for this. it's going to be a bloody couple of months. let's be clear about that. the war right now has claimed about 50, 60,000 russian lives, about 20 by estimates ukrainian lives. they're fighting over large fronts with tanks and mixed with drones that russia has to be
'70s and culture war etiquette. how is this different? >> good morning and thank you for having me today. it is true for most of the public, ebonics is what comes to mind when we talk about african-american language, but researchers have been researching it for decades and understand it is a comprehensive language that includes grammar and sin tax and pronunciation, and of course, vocabulary. so the goal of this dictionary is to really highlight the words and phrases that have been created or reinvented by members of the african-american speech community and contributed so much to the african-american lexicon. >> here are the first few words. bussin', cakewalk, chitterlings, i'll come back to that, grille,
cak cakewalk, terms that are representative of religious prac practices such as ring shout or even the promised land and of course, terms that have come out of musical transitions and more slang items like grille. and there are many terms like chitterlings. >> i'll coming back to chitterlings. so a reference to black people collectively, there are some some of some biblical origins, some have some hip hop generation origins and are still primarily used by african-americans and then words like cakewalk, that are used beyond the african-american community, but ann hager's
