Donald Trump set aside months of criticism and mockery of Ron DeSantis today, celebrating his onetime Republican rival as his newest supporter after the...
liberal democrat said. he has these jokes that trivialize the justice system, trivialize the fact that there's a real process happening. and frankly, none of his opponents take on the narrative because they are afraid of the voters not going for it. so it's an unchallenged narrative. >> also framing a vote at the caucus as, this is your retribution as opposed to, vote for an issue, build a wall, overturn obamacare which obviously he never did. >> there's an old political slogan, hang a lantern on your woman that's what he's done. he's saying, look i've been indicted, i'm having these court cases, i will play the victim, and grievance, it's one thing that populace strongmen do but it also does make a mockery of the republican party's traditional play to represent law and order. there seems to be no speedbump with folks who think maybe it's
trump is delivering his closing arguments with a heavy dose of insult, mockery and more lies including hateful remarks about immigrants, making strange comments about jimmy carter, insisting a president has -- and words about the city he hopes to call home in 2025. >> we're taking in murderers and drug lords. we're taking in people that are very, very sick. with diseases that will be spread all over our nation. we're doing the wrong thing for our country. it's going to be very hard to recover from that, but we're going to start on day one from deportation. i always say jimmy carter is the happiest man alive and it's good because he's somewhat elderly, what. my wife went to the funeral of roslyn. beautiful funeral. you can't be worrying about
you are live in the "cnn newsroom." i'm jim acosta in washington, good evening. with just over 24 hours until the caucuses, donald trump is delivering his closing arguments to the people of iowa, with a heavy dose of insults, mockery, and more lies. for his supporters, he's pledging four more years of revenge and retribution. >> nikki and crooked joe are backed by warmongers, millionaires and billionaires who crave to destroy the maga movement. these caucuses with your personal chance to score the ultimate victory over all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks, creeps, and other nice people. >> trump blamed immigrants for the nation's problems, saying they threaten to spread disease all over the nation. here's part of that hateful,
thing. we have a women's category and a men's category for a reason. by putting male athleteses in the women's category, they are making a mockery of the women's category. step up and do this for all little girls, female athletes. sports can bring so much good. we have amazing athletes and coaches and are excited for today. >> carley: madisan, what is the ncaa rules now and what would you like them to be? >> i don't know the specifics they have in place, i would like to keep women's sports for female, plain and simple and how it should be for current and future athletes. >> carley: yeah, broad strokes of rules, ncaa do allow biological males to compete in sports dependent on their
ladies and gentlemen, there are consequences for that. we're duty bound. >> we are duty bound to pursue the consequences of that so that the american people can trust in the system of justice in the united states of america, which they do not right now. they don't trust it, nor should they. this side of the aisle has made a mockery of it for the last three years and beyond that. i will not yield. mr. biden is not special. he was given a subpoena. he should have appeared. he chose not to. we have no choice. we have no choice if we are to uphold our oath, to up hold and defend the constitution of the united states. we have no choice except to refer charges and find hunter biden in contempt. his choice. that was his choice. now we have to make our choice
>> well, i don't think that they gave him a subpoena that was enforceable today. i actually suggested that once they re-authorize the committee they should have done exactly that, should have subpoenaed him again. i mean, in theory could they have had the sergeant-at-arms arrest him for defying the subpoena the first time around, i suppose so, but that would kind of make a mockery out of the whole process of getting a contempt citation and having a regular order and a regular process in which you do that. i think you know, the legal stuff aside, this is really political theater and the risk that somebody like hunter biden and his lawyer abbe lowell run, when you do a stunt like they did, you may run into somebody like mace who is at least equally effective at being with theater and make you pay as she did rhetorically for the stunt. >> john: indeed. andy, thank you for your learned legal opinion. appreciate it.
impeachment, not be prosecuted, would be able to order the assassination of one of his political opponents. avoid prosecution, not get prosecuted. they were producing some examples they thought would make an a mockery of what natural justice they thought would make an a mockery of what naturaljustice would suggest. but on the other hand, donald trump's lawyers were pointing out, and i think this has some force as well, that the president does have to have some latitude of movement, some latitude of operation. 0therwise, movement, some latitude of operation. otherwise, there would be a constant cycle of people going after their opponents once they are out of office. the expectation is, gary, that it would go all the way to the supreme court come of this. does the supreme court have to take it up? does the supreme court have to take it u - ? ., ., , �* , does the supreme court have to take itu? ., ., ,�* , ., it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to ick and it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to pick and choose _ it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to pick and choose which - it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to pick and choose which cases i it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to pick and choose which cases it| it up? no, it doesn't. it gets to - pick and choose which cases it takes up. it takes up a very tiny portion of them. having said that, this is
and ron desantis said last night. >> he is not willing to debate, and he is not willing to get on the stage and answer questions, and he is in mar-a-lago, and so, yes, show up and debate. he is basically making a mockery of this whole process by not showing up and answering people's questions. he doesn't think that he needs t to. >> reporter: and so they are clearly trying to make the case to the iowa voters that donald trump is not putting in as many hours or answering questions that the voters have, and of course, he has spent quite a bit of time here in iowa and back again tomorrow for events and events throughout the weekend, but those are trump big rallies and not meeting the voters one-on-one or taking questions from the voters and the question is if any of it matters. he has a commanding race, but it is the race to be the trump alternative and ron desantis and nikki haley are in a furious scramble. and 11 days to go and the
and we have to do that, we have to continue to build towards that progress. and so, that is the case that i would make, is that when it comes to israel hamas, it is not a political one. it is one about the safety of america, the safety of the world on a global standing, and that is simply it. we'll put that up against anything that the republicans are doing and joe biden and kamala harris's record from the economy, he domestically here and foreign policy-related with everything that is going on. now is not a time to put someone back in office who had it for years and fell asleep on the wheel and made a mockery of america on the global stage or any of the other republicans who are running who don't understand where half of these places are in the world. look, at the end of the gate, we are very confident about what this president and administration have done for the american people, and when it comes to foreign policy, there is no difference. >> quentin folks, good to talk to you for tonight, thank you for being with us the principal deputy campaign manager for joe biden's reelection campaign. appreciate your time tonight. one more story for you tonight. republican presidential
