good morning to our viewers in the united states and around the world. it s kasie hunt. it s thursday, 5:00 a.m. here in washington. it s 4:00 a a.m. in iowa. there are now four days until the caucuses. hours ago, ron desantis and nikki haley went head to head on the cnn debate stage in the fight for number two. both deploying the pants on fire strategy. you have said it again. stop lying. she said she never said it. you re lying. it doesn t change the fact that ron is lying because ron is losing. you lie a the lot. hnikki haley gives him a run fo his money. you get the point. they both also took some time to go after the no-show, far away republican front runner, donald trump. i think what happened on january 6th was a terrible day. i think president trump will have to answer for it. he sat in the white house and tweeted law and order. but he did nothing to ensure law and order. as your president, i will never let our city burn. at that very moment, tru ....
good evening to all. i m erin burnett in new york. and wolf blitzer is joining me from washington, d.c. this is a special edition of outfront. and tonight the breaking news, the former president s defiance. that is how one of donald trump s attorneys describes the former president s mood tonight after pleading not guilty to 37 felony counts in miami. we are awaiting trump s first public comment since he was formally arrested today. he is expected to head to newark airport, then to his new jersey golf club where he will address most of his loyal supporters and hold a fundraiser. he stopped at a cuban restaurant in miami before leaving. he wanted that photo op. he was greeted by cheers there, a crowd even singing happy birthday to the former president on the eve of his 77th birthday. trump s codefendant and close aide walt nauta was by his side the entire time. this just moments after the judge told them they may not communicate directly about the case going forw ....
He said it again in that clip. i don t know why that catches me off guard. there s this huge conundrum. i watched chris christie s speech, and i was a fan of his approach of trying to take dth haed on. i keep thinking if the other candidates took on that same set of talking points, in addition to a forward-look message, to my account, it took 44 minutes for either ron desantis or nikki haley to even mention joe biden s name. so think you have to beat donald trump. you have to beat joe biden if you re going to be the next president of of the united states. and last night s debate felt more of like a high school debate. i brought longer lunches and you had more detentions. it felt small ball to me. it didn t feel like somebody taking on donald trump. it s interesting you put it that way. ....
I believe that if he were provided an off ramp, yeah, maybe he would. but that would mean somebody taking, giving him a free lawyer, somebody taking his case and him not having to pay for it, and then somehow knowing that he could have a job. at the end of the day, i know everybody thinks doing what s right is the most important, and it is. but he still has to live and support himself. and right now trump is his only life line. you ve got lawyers being paid for if and when he gets one, and i m sure he s getting paid probably a little bit more than a personal aide should. we ve got new reactions from republicans on capitol hill this hour. right now, not everyone is quick on the gop side to defend. you can t just deny what president trump did was wrong. it s clear as day wrong. and we are live on capitol hill with that new reporting from manu raju. plus, trump s former white house counsel, and outfront regular ty cobb will be my ....
There s toughness and good luck for somebody taking on ben sass saying you re too genteel, too much of a wimp. same thing with rand paul. there is a way to be tough and push back against the extremes of donald trump. we don t know what would happen in a nebraska primary against ben sass in 2020. maybe he would lose. at some point you have to say at some point you have to say the right thing. all right. thank you. i have to ask bob costa, willie and i are ready. did we get the cartons? yes. chesterfields. we re going to the holiday in and watching your show tomorrow night. what do you have on? we have to decide which topics we re going to discuss. we re going to discuss health care and tax reform. can the republicans get anything done, and if i had it my way, i d have peter baker on every week. there you go, very nice. i met bob s father the other ....
