service to republican and democratic administrations and all americans save countless lives and resources. we owe you a debt of gratitude. >> dr. fauci, thank you for your testimony and your extraordinary service to the american people. we owe you a selective thank you. you are a world renown scientist and an americans. >> and thank you, sir for your entire team of saving lives in this country. >> thank you for your science. thank you for your science that has saved millions of american lives, kept us safe including my children, many of our families right here. >> dr. fauci, i'd like to thank you for your testimony today. and i would like to thank you for your decades of service to our nation. >> thank you, dr. fauci is tonight's last word. the 11th hour with stephanie ruhle starts now. launches new attacks and calls on the supreme court to cancel

his guilty verdict. a jury is caseated for the federal trial of president biden son hunter. bankrolling election deniers. the companies backing lawmakers who push the big lie is the 11th hour gets underway on thist monday night. good evening once again. i am stephanie ruhle. we are now 155 days away from the election. americans have had a few days wa to face the reality that one of the two major candidates is now a convicted criminal. 50% of all americans think the verdict in donald trump's trial was correct compared to 27% to think it was wrong. that's according to a new abc news ipsos poll. 49% think he should end his campaign now. when you look at independence, the percent of people who

believe the verdict is correct was up to 52%. meanwhile, donald trump, no surprise, continues leading the republican party in a revolt against conviction while attacking the entire justice system. donald trump himself is openly asking the supreme court to intervene by annulling the guilty verdict before he is sentenced in july and he is already warning of what could happen if he gets any jail time. >> i don't know that the public would stand it. i'm not sure the public would stand for it. >> house arrest -- >> i think it would be tough for the public to take. at a certain point there is a breaking point. >> trump allies and potential running mates are getting in line behind there later. republicans like tom cotton, j.d. vance, and elise stefanik are even using his exact language saying president biden is weaponize the doj in calling the trial rigged. and yet, while the gop says the president has the justice system

under his them, let's not forget what happened today. his only living son, hunter biden, is on trial. a jury was seated today and hass gun charges case. he has pleaded not guilty. former u.s. attorney joyce fans and a contributor on msnbc is clearly pointed out, this very fact should be the end of the argument that president biden has weaponize the justice system. she writes the prosecutor on the case was appointed by donald trump and president biden allowed to stay in place specifically to determine whether this case should be indicted. with that, let's get smarter with the help of our latest panel. nbc news washington correspondent joins us. a political investigator for the guardian of former new york prosecutor and civil rights attorney charles coleman jr. is here as well. you go, you spent almost all five weeks in the courtroom. we

are four days since the verdict. it's no surprise donald trump ur and his allies have had a lot to say since the conviction. what has stood out to you the most? >> the fact they like to cite how much money they got from the conviction. >> that can't possibly surprise you. if you do think that was preordained to line up those donors, to manufacture a positive headline, if you don't think that is the case, i've th got a bridge to sell you, brother. >> the second part of that is d they obviously like to cite the numbers that work for them but they don't like to say the numbers that do not. the bull's-eye came out in the wake of this conviction have all been bad. they ctknow it. they just pretend like it doesn't exist. i thought there would be pr pushback and they would try to spin a. they're not even touching it and that's indicative of how bad they see them. they're not talking about that

ipsos poll. they could've pulled on 90% of republicans still support bl donald trump. they did not touch it and i think that's indicative of how fearful they are that the country is against trump. >> they know 90% of republicans are not enough to win the election. charles, is there any case the supreme court grants trump his wish and stepson and it knows this thing. >> is not a universe where this would happen. not at all. i don't think that donald trump -- it's an unserious request. it's not the way the governmentt works or any level whatsoever. the notion the supreme court would take an interest in and then somehow nullify the verdict that was created in a state trial is unheard of. this is going nowhere and going that fast. >> he is going to unknow this thing. can you walk us through how that works. not on all.

appeal. >> he will appeal at the state level. he will try to find submission that took place at the trial whether the instructions by the judge, the gag order, if not all things and create an appeal and try to put that before the court of appeals so he can stave off whatever the judge imposes on him in july. >> is it safe to say that this is another loyalty test for everyone in trump's republican party, especially those who want to be considered refor the vp slot? >> it certainly looks that way. especially when you think of the vp contenders. they are lining up to echo the language of donald trump which is saying falsely and wrongly that this was all conspiracy theory carried out by president biden. that it's a rigged criminal justice system. it's interesting to see republicans talk about the rule of law, talk about the respect for the justice system and their respect for america while

also, of course, attacking the verdict. they are not attacking the jury per se but attacking judge merchan saying its instructions were the reason why the conviction happen. which is clear here is the republican party, if you or someone wants to have a political future, at least in this iteration of the republican party, seems as though it behooves you to get behind donald trump and to really continue to use trump's words. it's interesting as we talk about republicans to see the president biden, tonight and say, and get more and more aggressive with the way he is talking about this. he shied away from talking about it but tonight he said sa donald trump will look like somebody who has snapped after the 2020 election and he can't let it go and it's driving him crazy. it's a reason why he's talking about conspiracy theories including saying at one point that biden and democrats are trying to assassinate him when they were doing the classified documents case in florida. it's in some ways interesting

to see this. it is not surprising, but it's interesting to see you have president biden starting to get forceful on this. then you have republicans pu pulling in line with donald trump per usual. >> it's a monday. it's interesting, but distressing when you think of the lies that are getting pushed, or you think of the pu level of anger and the threats. they have real consequences. we know a week ago, michael we fanone's mother was swatted. michael cohen's family was doxxed. how much worse is this going to get? i don't think the american people will stand for it. >> i think it's a real problem. the practice of how his supporters respond, and were not even talking january 6, we're talking the last six to 12 months when trump makes statements about the judges in

the case, jurors in the case all it takes is one person, one supporter, to act out in political violence. then we have this rude to a very dangerous and problematic situation. trump knows this and his advisers know this but they still encourage a because it placates him and makes him feel better. he can rant on social media. they know full well is all it takes is one person to act on that death threat. >> it shows trump has ultimate loyalty from at least some americans. he can say, i didn't give them n direct instructions to do so. >> d yeah, it's the heckler's veto. i can say whatever i want s and if someone acts on it, and it's not my fault. he news since january 6 because we have the discussion around january 6 how would be knows if he does something and encourages people to go to the

capitol, they will go to the capitol. >> today they are sitting in jail. charles, our friend points out that of trump wins in november,h he will of surprise survive two impeachments, four indictments, civil charges for sexual abuse of fraud and a felony conviction. how ivndofcan anyone believe th would be any meaningful guardrails on donald trump this time around? >> that's a valuable question. the notion of there being no guardrails around donald trump is exactly why we have to get to engage right now with respect to the ones that exist within the system. who are we sending to congress? who is going to enforce the notion of checks and balances with this threat to what the president will try to do. we know the supreme court is not going to do that. they are effectively in his back pocket. the concern about project 2025 and all the things we have already heard about what donald trump and his agenda is going

into a potential second term should be an along to all of us. at this point, it doesn't seem that absent the legislature doing something, that there are not going to be guardrails and o it's a concern. a the judiciary has shown us in so many different ways that they are not going to be the ones to hold the president and n check. >> yamiche, while most republican senate it -- senate candidates were loudly defensive of trump, we saw there democratic candidates a lot more muted because they think they will be crossover voters to win in november. what you think of s that approa? >> it's an interesting approach and underscores the times we are living in. as you look at the polls, you see most independence believe the verdict was correct. it also tells you there are a lot of candidates out there that are maybe looking at the american people and looking at some of the republicans --

disgruntled with donald trump and saying we should be able to convince him to come to our side by any means. in that regard, not talking about the verdict, not challenging the sort of echoing we are hearing in the republican party. it tells you we are living in a time where you think of the fact it's a jury verdict. it's a verdict that in some ways is operating in the american legal system that you would imagine candidates could say, i respect the verdict. when it's being mute, tells you the worry there that speaking out against this verdict and speaking out in a way that makes people uncomfortable, that could cost people their races. it tells us the times we are living in. if i could, you asked about could this get worse and the danger? when you think wof michael cohen's family getting doxxed and michael fanone's family getting ngswatted, there's the

idea that the jurors are out id there, i am sure nervous. stormy daniels saying she was intimidated. when we think of how candidates are talking about this and both parties, there are 12 people who put their lives on the line, frankly, when you think of the political violence we have seen, who were brave enough to be part of this trial. i think of them when we think where this is going next. >> let's talk about a new al topic. hunter pence gun trial began today in delaware. it's about to roll tomorrow. what do you expect? >> the prosecution is basing their case on circumstantial evidence. they don't have the actual evidence approving that hunter biden had actual cocaine habits. they have -- drug paraphernalia . they are saying two thanks. number 1, you lied about the fact that you are either addicted or using illegal drugs when you purchase the firearm.

that's the first of two charges. then you were in possession of a firearm around the time you were either addicted to using controlled substances. a lot of their case is based on circumstantial evidence. and don't expect the political circusct we saw in new york wit people showing up at saying this is biden controlling the justice system. obviously it's not. trump-appointed prosecutor. it is going to be an it interesting case for the government and it should be noted that even as this is a trump-appointed prosecutor, it's not the type of case that feds typically prosecute absent a violent act to go with the. you usually do not see these yo types of cases prosecuted if someone has not done anything violent that would trigger this. if it had been any political prosecution is what we saw in manhattan, it is this one. >> i know this sounds naove, ou

but given what charles laid out, it's a trump-appointed prosecutor, president biden allowedec this to happen. shouldn't this put an end to the argument the trump and his allies are pushing president biden has his thumb on the justice system. everything is super political. if it was, he would not be allowing his only living son to be sitting for this trial. shouldn't this, in theory, end d that argument? >> even when the biden justice department went and prosecuted bob menendez. a democrat in the senate. there's a 50-50 senate. there are so many examples of this justice department making objective prosecuting decisions all the way through. frankly,th in the trump cases t evidence is so overwhelming that it would be egregious not to prosecute them. in this instance, to your point, for the biden justice department to go after the president's son in a criminal -- it's not the only case. s we also have the tax case. ve

there two cases against the president's son and that's indicative of how evenhanded this justice department is. >> thank you. yamiche, always good to see you. i will need you to turn up the volume when we return. president biden is getting tougher on the border despite what you hear in the streets, he is getting tougher. how we hopes to turn a campaign weakness into a strength. after january 6, several companies of the major tab for lawmakers who push the big lie. guess what happened since then? a whole lot turning the tap back on. the 11th hour getting underway.

shell. powering progress. sign an executive action tomorrow that will temporarily shut down the border when daily migraine crossings hit 2500. daily encounters are currently sitting around 4000 which means a shutdown could go into effect immediately. let's bring in kristina greer, fordham university professor political science and tim miller, former communications director for republican jeb bush. tim, what do you make of this move? it as trump's tagline that he will shut down the border and

now president biden is actually doing it. >> yeah, i think he feels a political obligation to do this. right now it's pressure on the border. you look at the polls, voters are more likely to support trump despite this child separation policy and the fact that trump scuttled the bipartisan voter deal earlier this year that was coordinated by democrats alongside conservative republican james lankford. biden feels the need to do something. even objective analysts look at this and say the asylum system is a little out of control. it's worth mentioning the border encounters are down over the last few months. particularly the asylum seekers, those numbers are at a high level, higher than typically in years past. i think it is his effort to address a political vulnerability and correctly be able to say, i am trying to

solve these problems. donald trump is only looking up for himself. that message works for him across a number of issues and this would be one. >> do you think the efforts will change the narrative because of the border has been a vulnerability until a few months ago? >> i think it's probably a little too late to really change the narrative in a major way. it's important to do it, to my last point, it can ladder up into a number of issues where this could be one point where biden says, you might not like every specific policy decision i made across these issues, but, i am trying to solve problems. i am willing to work with people to my left and center right to get things done. you saw it done guns and that's what i'm trying to do. this other guy is a

narcissistic psychopath only worried about himself. he was willing to scuttle bipartisan issues if it helps himself. that's a more likely outcome than people saying they think he's doing a great job on the border. >> nikki haley has officially endorsed donald trump. with immigration policies like this on the part of president biden, could he win at least some of those voters? >> i think he could but it boils down to framing. we note democrats aren't always great at that. joe biden needs to articulate two-week leaning republicans and independents that he is doing something. we know donald trump does not understand -- wants to build walls through rivers, which is not possible. this helps him with latino voters. latino voters are very concerned and vocal about immigration and undocumented immigration coming from mexico north.

that might help him with latinos in states like texas and arizona where his numbers are slipping. >> tim, let's talk about numbers. let's wait. i want to stay on this. as you were talking about jill biden and who is going to stick with joe biden, i am thinking of lara trump. over the weekend, she attacked larry hogan. the former maryland governor now running for senate. his seat is so crucial. republicans need him to win this seat. you a moment ago were calling trump, a narcissistic psychopath whose focused only on his self-interest. on one planet does it make sense for lara trump and trump himself and trump allies to go after larry hogan? they need him to win. >> on the planet were all true donald trump cares about his own power in stranglehold over

the party and belief if he gets back into the white house, he could do whatever he wants. is not interested in working with the senate on bipartisan solutions. project 2025 is the executive orders. they have varying degrees of what the terrien impulses associated with them. i do not think he is worried about a senate vote count. he is worried about dominating the party and demonstrating strength. if there's any dissent within the party, it has to be stamped out. larry hogan who is defending the rule of law, that all they did, saying we should respect the rule of law in this country. you see him getting attacked by the rnc in a way no crazy maga, no insurrectionist was ever criticized by the rnc during the ronna mcdaniel years. >> shouldn't controlling the senate be a top priority for donald trump, kristina? >> one would think but don't

forget donald trump had unified government and didn't know what to do with the. what concerns me is, he's more interested in draconian measures and executive orders, and executive orders have been used overtime beautiful and productive things. the emancipation proclamation. integrating the armed forces. forming the peace corps. they have been used to put japanese, german, and italian folks into concentration camps or internment camps as we called them. we know donald trump wants a unilateral level of power. he does not care about larry hogan. the fact we're talking about lara trump is the cochair and his daughter-in-law. we see what happens in other nations with they are propping up family members in leadership positions. larry hogan saying he will respect the brought law. i think it helps him with maryland voters. maryland is purple.

is running against an african american woman and people twist themselves into knots not to vote for qualified women. it helps him with week leaning republicans and independents. >> thank you both for being here. we are following the money. our favorite thing to do. how corporate america is spending trump's big lie and the lawmakers that are --.

i know what told you to turn up the volume and i need you to turn it up. a new report out to an hour is shedding light how corporate america is funding donald trump's big lie or at least the lawmakers that continue to push election conspiracies. the report from citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington found more than 1700 companies and industry groups meet contributions to members of congress who voted against, again certifying that 2020 election or perpetuated election denialism. the number includes nearly 200 companies a pause there donations following the riot on

january 6. it's also important to remember that those companies did not pledge to never resume donations. comcast, the parent company of nbcuniversal is included. joining me to discuss, noah bookbinder, president of the citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington. cnbc senior analyst and ceo and dan nathan. a host of the on the tape podcast is here. this is your baby. explain it. the report describes these lawmakers as the sedition caucus are, quote, anti- democratic members of congress. how do you define these terms? >> we start with those members of congress who voted in 2021 not to certify the attorney 20 election even though those folks -- votes were based on baseless allegations of fraud

for which there was no evidence. we add to those the members of congress who got there later, ran on the lie that donald trump won the 2020 election. the election was not stolen. we also look at votes taken since then. actions that are clearly up or down actions that were either to deny steps to get accountability for donald trump or to support absolute immunity for donald trump. we looked at the companies that have given the most money to the members of congress who have done the most to undermine democracy. not only are we finding that almost 1800 companies have given close or more than $145 million to these members of congress, and here the

companies that are going far to undermine democracy. there are other companies that are a different story and have lived up to their pledges. have prioritized democracy and it's important for the american people to understand that. >> democracy makes our country work and the economy work. i do not understand why any companies out there would restart political donations to lawmakers who promoted the lie. who voted again certifying the last election. what is their incentive to do so? >> it comes down to politics in washington where companies believe that it is going to be in their interest to support members of congress on both sides of the aisle and support members who are in positions of power. who might end up in positions of power and even potentially donald trump himself along with those members of congress. companies think those are people who will make decisions

about them and curry favor with them and a lot of companies have decided it is easier for them to pretend that this effort to overturn this election, this violent insurrection, never happened. the risk to democracy is very real. it is continuing today. not only is it bad for the american people if we lose a functioning democracy, it's also bad for business if you do not have stability. if any company can be retaliated against because a powerful leader doesn't like anything they did. in the long-term, it should be in these industry groups interest to promote democracy. we are trying to remind them of that and make sure the american people are aware of this. >> these companies say it's the price of doing business. we donate to everyone, but not everyone resumed their

donations. there were a lot of companies that said, nope, we are out for good or for the foreseeable future. nagy, ebay, and those companies are kicking it and it has not hurt them that they did not go back to those lawmakers. >> that's really powerful. when you have companies like nike, lived, sales force, these are companies that are not suffering. they are showing you can have these principles, you cannot be supporting numbers of congress who undermined democracy and continuing to do with. maybe you don't have to support any politicians, but if you do, you do not have to support these who are threatening our democratic way of life. you can still succeed as a company in the short term while securing longer-term interests for business and for all americans. >> what do you think about this? >> it's disappointing and

disturbing but on the other hand it's not terribly surprising that some of these are highly regulated and want to stay on the right side of one half of congress. i wouldn't be in favor -- >> there are republicans who do not support the big lie. >> 100%. they are playing the odds. they will hand out money where they can. we have seen this in the last several days with donald trump who raised an extraordinary amount of money postconviction. people are playing the hand they want to be dealt in the future which is lower taxes, less regulation, and they want to play on the side in favor of the. that's probably why they resumed their donations irrespective some of the larger considerations you have a rent a functional democracy that's good for individuals and for a stable business environment. >> these companies back in ski, what is the calculus? >> deregulation, lower taxes. they do have a lot of stakeholders.

they have employees and customers and their investors. it goes back to the suppose the, quote, from michael jordan that republicans buy sneakers too. the idea of alienating a part of your customer base or stakeholders in general is not appetizing. when i think about this, if i am one of those stakeholders, i want to look at the ports, the management, and say, do you believe in free and fair elections? do you believe in the peaceful transfer of power? >> all the ins and outs of policy aside, i mean free and fair elections. peaceful transfer of power. the base spoke -- the tenants we need for this to work. >> there's massive disbelief that anything will go wrong if former president trump will be reelected. it will be some variation on the theme we saw from 2016 until 2020 that will not bring

to an end democracy as we know it. a lot of people are playing the game with themselves and truly doubt that anything is at risk going forward. >> after january 6, the ceo the largest bank in the world called, i think, the insurrection a disgrace. he has probably had a frosty relationship with trump since then. i think we were talking last week, he said, and a flippant sort of way, you probably did good things too. i don't know how you can square this circle knowing what happened on january 6, what happened with the big license then. when you think of the call to these folks and how many people came into congress in the midterm election in 2022 who continue to push this. it's a nonstarter and these people need to be called out in the way you laid it out. as investors, customers, as employees, i think they need to be held to accountability.

>> we will take a quick break. we need those companies to advertise on this network. it's time for a commercial break. noah, thank you. when we return,'s hot summer discount time. more stores, ready for this? despite was some are telling you, stores are slashing prices. the question is, will it change the way consumers are viewing the strength of the economy? we will get into that when the 11th hour continues. 11th hour . ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term

inflation has pushed a lot of people to drop their favorite brands because they were looking to save a few dollars. there are some major retailers out there and fast food chains who want their longtime customers back. christine romans has more on what they are doing to win them over. >> reporter: if inflation was the buzzword for 2023/>> we are getting the latest look at inflation. >> inflation numbers in united states. >> reporter: value is the word of 2024. consumers have learned i can shop at a different store and find a coupon. >> i can switch to the storebrand and save a lot of money. >> reporter: companies have notice, now cutting prices to win customers back. walgreens lowering prices in 1300 products. walmart too and target traffic prices on about 5000 items from butter to wipes the cat food.

at the drive-through? there is a value war. >> bk have it your way. >> reporter: restaurant prices have risen faster than overall inflation, so diners are pulling back. that has burger king bringing back its five dollar your way meal. wendy's has a breakfast bundle at mcdonald's offering a five dollar value meal. it's fair to say the consumer is in the driving seat? >> consumers are always in the driving seat. they are telling restaurant chains they want value and they want to slow the role on price increases. >> reporter: inflation exhaustion is one reason why consumer sentiment has been sour. a recent harris poll found a majority of americans think the economy is in a recession. it is not. have think the stock market is down and unemployment at a 50 year high.

the truth is the stock market is at record highs and so where home prices. wages are up and unemployment near the lowest in 50 years. the big question? will all this price cutting make people feel better and will it last? >> inflation got a little out of control. i think we will start to re- normalize where the prices are. >> what is the impact of this going to be? >> we have seen this. no matter where you are on the social economic stack, i saw a stat that the average walmart consumer has $100,000 household income. that has gone up fairly dramatically. you are seeing middle class folks tree down to things like walmart. i think at the end of the day, we have seen the situation, lots of polls, you were chatting about it earlier. harris poll saying more than half of americans feel like we are in a recession. they feel the stock market is

down. why is that? we have unemployment at 50 year lows, below 4%, and it comes down to inflation. it comes down to the fact that gasoline, $3.55 is the national average, but it goes down to what the perception is. they look across the board when they go to the supermarket, going to gas. >> the fact these businesses were able to drop prices like that, what does that tell you about why they raised them? >> they were able to maintain margins they did not have for a long time. groceries and businesses in that sector of the economy run on thin profit margins. ikea, walmart, walgreens, now mcdonald's, burger king they are all cutting prices. we are getting back to a normalize rate of inflation. the biggest problem, it's the overall level of prices. the increase from pre-2019 that

has people upset. the average increase overall for price is 19%, groceries 25%. it will not come back down. i think people do not understand the choice that was made, and it was a -- choice in the pandemic. we were going to have a long, deep recession/recession or run the risk of overstimulating the economy and suffer through inflation. we took the latter course, as much as people are upset, the

much as people are upset, the alternative would have been worse. >> there is new axios reporting a fed data that 72% of the people who were surveyed said their finances are doing really well. however, when they're asked about the national economy, only 22% view the economy in a positive light. what can change that? what will change that? >> if it bleeds it reads. you think of the negativity that comes out of the media,

they know you get more clicks from that than positive news. we are seeing that. and it's more partisan than it's ever been. you also have this loss of trust in institutions. we have seen that pick up. that has a lot to do with the way americans feel about the macro, even if they have a job. even of wage inflation has upset a bit of that. the goods inflation they have seen, that's where the disconnect lies. >> i travel a lot. up into multiple airports. you can barely walk through some. you go to restaurants, conventions, you go around the country and people are spending money as if it were a normal, very strong economy. >> even though they are, those same people are complaining about how expensive the hotel was, rental car, and the food they are eating. if your president biden and sitting on a economy where people are making money and spending money but they don't like the price of things and that's negatively impacting the

sentiment, what do you do? >> you acknowledge that prices are higher than before the pandemic. we made a choice not to go into a depression and you point out the unemployment rate has been below 4% for 27 straight months, something that hasn't happened since lyndon johnson was president. i don't know how much stronger case can be made for the economy being in reasonably good shape given everything we've gone through. >> i want to go back to what we were touching before. not just corporations warming to donald trump, even in the last few weeks, wall street's biggest names, some of them packing donald trump. i want to go through the reasons they are. you have nelson, steve schwartzman, bill lachman, ken griffin potentially backing trump depending who he picks as vp. they are using reasons i do not understand. they say inflation. inflation is a top priority although donald trump has not

presented one policy that will lower inflation. he is doing the opposite. immigration. today president biden is saying he will close the border. we know through donald trump, republicans just blocked the last thing he wanted to do. they are saying anti-semitism. anti-semitism. i don't know if you remember charlottesville, but i do. it was donald trump who said they were good people on both sides. what is the real reason? >> i remember steve mnuchin standing next to him when he said that. when i think about these folks that are turning dasha comes back to taxes, regulation. they do not like biden. there is a host of things. they want to talk about the border. border crossings are down significantly. crime is down. >> what they mean, they want corporate tax cuts and deregulation. >> 1000% yes. how many $1 million homes does

ken griffin have. there are extraordinarily wealthy individuals who do not need a tax cut. they don't need businesses deregulated. they are going through a bull market and making a ton of money right now. with respect to anti-semitism, joe biden has been a stalwart supporter of israel his entire career. that's one that is hard to explain. he has a bigger problem with kids who view it through the opposite side of the spectrum. >> donald trump posted dasha holocaust denier. at the end of the day -- >> the unified right? >> i talked to a lot of folks. i believe that anti-semitism. that activated a lot of people. a lot will be one issue voters. they were leaning far love -- not far left but left prior to this. they are frustrated. >> joe biden is not leaning far
