thank you, anderson. good evening, everyone. thank you for joining me. this is war. and that may actually be the nicest thing that donald trump has said in the last 24 hours about his former friend and now foe, ron desantis. both of the men crisscrossing the early voting states today. desantis has been on a blitz in new hampshire, and trump was in iowa. but here is a taste of the back and forth that has really escalated over the last 24 hours on everything from the debt ceiling to ron, as i call him, ron desanctimonious for a reason. i think it s so petty. i think it s so juvenile. i don t think that s what voters want. and honestly i think his conduct, which he s been doing for years now, i think that s one of the reasons he s not in the white house now. when he says eight years, every time i hear it, i wince. i think it s a project that will begin on day one, and it will require a daily grind for not just one term but i think for two full presidential terms. ....
How much to indulge in this, and you can ask me to parse that as january 6th, 2021 and i can parse it for you or tell you that i am interested in january 25th, 2025. and if republicans let it overwhelm, it will, but we don t have to let it overwhelm, and we can talk about people s future. reporter: desantis made those comments at the field of dreams, and the ball park made famous by the movie of kevin costner, and he was there with his wife and young kids, and even though they are not talking about the indictment, he is playing up a contrast where he has the young and dynamic family with him doing the wholesome all-american events through the heartland, and at the same time that donald trump is getting the mug shot taken, and it is interesting dynamic, and the tour will continue through western iowa, and continue to hit all 99 counties in the state as he is ....
Played earlier? with trump, he s got such a problem with numbers, and that s where i stay fixated. this guy doesn t understand anything when it comes to numbers. we all know how he wanted to inflate his inauguration day poll numbers. i think he continues to go down this path of weakness. he starts to make himself continue to look more and more foolish. and in that, what will happen is that there s going to be less serious conversations about kitchen table issues, and voters will get dragged into the misinformation that runs rampant in today s gop. i have a serious question for you. i mean no shade by this at all. how much more foolish can he get to the point you see it impact him politically? from my perspective, he s had a lot of opportunities for voters to say, you know what? that s foolishness. he s not serious. i m turning my back. and yet we ve yet to see that. and today he is the primary being. it s interesting that you go ahead. i would argue that at the cnn town hall, ....

They were in and other newscasts. i should have had it for this conversation but there s a clip of someone, not on fox, but another right-wing network getting so uncomfortable when he walked away when i think the pillow guy was going on about fraud. a decision to fire lou dobbs. their reclimation lawsuit in the ball park of a billion dollars. how does that apparent marriage of wrong doing apply to what will ultimately happen in these lawsuits. it s a very difference happen of the line john was talking about where we justifiably for good policy reasons, give the press plenty of room, plenty of wide birth. these cases almost always fail, to make honest mistakes, and the difference between that and fox news, which wasn t honest ....
