issue of pennsylvania democrat john fetterman s recovery from a stroke earlier this year? fetterman suffered the stroke on may 13, the friday before the tuesday may 17 primary election did not reveal it until two days after it occurred. when he did so he didn t share an underlying heart condition that required the implanting of a defibrillator, and we wish him god speed and he s worked hard to win the nomination and it s a shame that his health has become an issue. the polls suggest that fetterman s senate race over dr. mehmet oz has narrowed as the pennsylvania gubernatorial race has widened and while oz won multiple debates, fetterman agreed to only one. it will be october 25th after pennsylvanians have voted and it will last 60 minutes. fetterman was looking to run out the clock, a strategy in the 2020 election when biden stayed in delaware when trump barnstormed the nation and he counted on early balloting, but as oz continues to close the gap, fetterman may regret not ag
i m okay with it. i saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, oh, no, you don t want to do that for the president. i said, you don t beg for anything. it is the way it is. if that would happen, i don t know that the public would stand it, you know. i m not sure the public would stand for it. on house arrest? i think it would be tough for the public to take. you know, at a certain point there s a breaking point. that was donald trump yesterday with an ominous suggestion about how his supporters would respond to him being sentenced to jail after his conviction in the hush money case. we ll have much more of his comments as well as what president biden is now saying about the conviction just ahead. meanwhile, the president s son will be in court today in delaware for the start of his trial for federal gun charges. we ll bring you legal analysis on that case. and, plus, a possible major development to bring some peace to gaza with israel reportedly agr
former president trump wrapping up a news conference just a short while ago, we are keeping an eye on his movement from trump tower he is expected to leave at any moment and of course we will show you that when it happens we are looking at the live chat now. trump him at home that if this can happen to me, the verdict of course, if you happen to you. as he blasts the coats, skin conviction against him, he focused on the key issues of his campaigns of illegal immigration and all problems you care about even on foreign policy. and he vowed to appeal the verdict and make america great again. this is a case where if they can do this to mean, they can do this to anyone. it is very important, far beyond me that this cannot be allowed to happen to other presidents it should have never been allowed to happen, and the future. this is bigger than me, it is bigger than my presidency. when you look at our country and what is happening where millions and millions of people are flowing
republicans alike that you re talking to, what do you think? i think, jonathan, it means a lot. what we saw at the trial is the needle didn t move. a lot of us were looking at what an actual conviction would look like. here it is laid out. people disagree or feel that they re probably less likely to vote, it looks like, for a convicted criminal. i think this will spawn the democrats and the biden campaign to hone in on the theory that this is a convicted criminal, and do you want a convicted criminal in the white house. so let s talk about how the biden team is responding. we played a little bit there on friday. as i had reported the week before, the president s first remarks were always going to be about, look, we have to respect the verdict, respect the process, no matter what it may be.
republicans say trump is directly responsible while the number of americans who thought joe biden had fraudulently won the presidency remain constant at 29%. this is part of why my next guest wrote in the new york times that the house select committee has been assiduous in its research, artful in cinematography and wholly ineffective in shifting views about the storming of the u.s. capitol. christopher caldwell joins me now and the author of the age of entitlement, america since the 60s. christopher, i agree with you that i wish there were elements of cross-examination and confrontation in the january 6th committee s work and all of those nine hearings, but the fact that the needle didn t move, i don t think is the committee s fault. i think it s a testament on the level of polarization and the entrenchment that people have in this country. what about you? well, i you know, i
