can console the families in an incredible state of grief that's still unfathomable to many of them. >> your district includes lahaina. what is it people are sharing with you about their concerns about how involved they will be? i mean, if there's any certainty that they can get, whether it be from the president of the united states or the governor or w whomever to give them assurances they will be directly involved in any kind of rebuilding, recovery efforts, this while they are still grieving their losses and wanting some answers as to how this happened in the first place. >> yes, i mean, presidential support at that level would be incredibly important. i want to thank the governor for trying to amend the emergency p proclamation to prohibit property says. rumors are running around about
when i was saying hillary clinton is a corporation, bernie sanders is a cause. and that is why so much of the passion from voters was with bernie. now she obviously ended up clinching the nomination. but this is very much the same kind of thing for trump and trump v de santis. desantis feels like a corporation and donald trump is a cause to a lot of republican voters. so what he did or didn't do and what he may be indicted for is so beyond the point for so many of his voters. because they would literally, die for him. >> and paul, there is a new warning sign for democrats in president biden is neck-and-neck dond trump in this possible rematch. 43% to 43%. what is going on here? >> well there is some good news for biden. he's solidifying his place with
get general milley, if i could show you these documents that conflict with his alleged claim that i wanted to, you know, or was planning to attack iran. and forgive me, alex, the second ironyco here in addition to dond trump not being consistent, insisting on recording something actually now scares him, the other irony here is it's my understanding m from sources th we spoke with over the last 48 hours that mark milley did not produce a document, a memo to donald trump in which he recommended invading or attacking iran. and so really donald trump if he was shakingld around a classifi document as he alleged in this recording, it was a pentagon document that milley probably recommended against, a -- one of the many options of things that
taken. >> you know what we call that? >> what? >> that's called whistling past the grave. he's horrified. he's talking big. the walls are closing in as has been said before. this time look at all of it they have. i want to get back to the republican lie, the main republican lie right now is they're only charging donald trump, this is the politicization of this statute, no. let's give you some details on people who were charged with what trump may be charged with. falsifying business records in the first degree by the manhattan d.a.'s office, the same charge any potential indictment of trump is likely to include. here's some examples. a married couple charged for, quote, attempting to recover the cash value of various items of property that were lost in a house fire. they claimed $5,000 for a leather couch they had purchased for $1,900. do you see that?
revived, and that's why republicans are scrambling, and maybe it will help donald trump in the short-term with the gop. it's certainly not going to help going forward with the general election. >> in palm beach county florida, state attorney, dave, i want to show you the things people have been charged with before in this crime. i know you already know this. it's common sense for everybody else, not for the republicans who are lying to their base saying this is a political witch hunt. a married couple filed a false house insurance claim for a couple of thousand dollars, and they were charged with this felony. a woman tried to return items to lord & taylor that she didn't actually purchase and got store credit. >> not trump. >> found out -- not trump -- for a couple of thousand dollars, and what happens? she gets charged with this crime. a teacher used a fake covid-19 vaccine card to try to get off of work one day.
that will have never happened to any other president, and you've got every other president in one category, donald trump once again in his own category of the notorious. >> the grand jury in manhattan is meeting this afternoon again. what do we expect to see? how soon might there be an indictment? what are you hearing downtown? >> yeah, so the way this game's going to work is the grand jury convenes. at some point they will take a vote on an indictment. the d.a.'s office is going to call trump' trump's lawyers end up calling the came pain. and they will convene a conference call to figure out what comes next. specifically what the lawyers need to do, what the lawyers want to do is arrange a voluntary surrender for trump. they don't want trump to go in in person with his hands behind his back in handcuffs. they think that's a terrible idea, you know, i think it remains to be seen whether trump's will wins out. it sometimes does and it sometimes doesn't, but that's
