biden administration, as we were saying, trump is in front of the courtroom or in front of the courthouse, go out and talk about this. >> this is what vice president harris has been charged with. she is doing a smashing job going out across his country and talking about this. >> she was promising four years of scorched earth when donald trump takes this. >> you know who would and should the test scorched earth? fortune 500 ceos. if you are a major corporation, you want consistency. you want stability. there are a lot of people right now scratching their heads because it seems like more and more business leaders are open to trump. do you believe they are open to trump or really, they just want to keep their heads down and mouths shut because they don't want to make an enemy out of
i will eanever understand how i is worth it to them. it's interesting when he contrast that with what is happening with mike johnson, who seems to have really taken to, taken hold on him that he is the speaker of the united states house of representatives. that meeting had with president biden, mitchi mcconnell and hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer and vice president harris where they really gave it the cebusiness about i'm not sure what you understand we we are doing here, but we stand up to russia when they are being adversarial in this way.>> we have lots more to get to. morning joe weekend continues after a short break.
