ron desantis has an ability to.t just hasn't been fully tested at this point. >> david we will get back to laura, but i want to ask you, who would the democrats -- rather be up against here? with their rather be fighting trump or ron desantis? >> there was only one name, that is donald trump. donald trump -- you can assert ron desantis as the candidate, but that is still donald trump. he has been an acolyte for donald trump for the last two years in his role as governor. that is what the democratic strategy is, to get out of the way of the republicans making mistakes, whether it is donald trump, ron desantis, chris christie. there will be every ad, every message that will go out, whatever that candidate and donald trump in the same frame. the people will have to deal with that to remove the stain of trump if he is not the nominee. it is most likely he will be. we will see -- stay on our record, the democrats need to get out of the way of the republicans going after each other. >> laura, to what extent will independe

our special tonight is ron with a side of ron. have a good ron. ron. ron. ron." doo-ron-ron one thing that might affect the ex-president's campaign is being the target of, and i'm rounding down here, a quintillion court cases. one of those is the manhattan da's case involving the $130,000 sh moneyment theme for made rmy daniels, which may have been an illegal campaign contribution. and now, prosecutors are signaling that criminal charges for the former president are okay, okay, i understand. i've been hurt before, but i'll take reports of "charges likely." it's much better than what i usually read. "justice hazy, try again later." the ex-president maintains his innocence in the hush money scheme, and like all the most innocent people, he won't testify. so he's keeping quiet. wait a second, did he pay himself $130,000? but my favorite part of all this legal drama is that at this point, the ex-president has to shop for new lawyers in the discount attorney bin. like the one he's recently been sending out on cable news. joe tacopina, seen here saying "mr. luthor! mr.

and people need to hear about good of ron desantis, another person that worked for ron desantis and still his surgeon general, he fired his former surgeon general, he said he would have fired fauci, you have to believe him, joe followed the sisi-- science and keep the them from being locked down. kennedy: the attacks right now are petty, president trump saying you can't vote for ron desantis because he eats pudding with two fingers. but he did not botch the covid response, i think that is former h president's achille heel. >> ron desantis called me, i was most hated man in tc for a while, he was hated in florida for keeping schools open. he called me, said, i know that media is against me, public sentiment is, i'm doing the right thing in a couple years people will appreciate that, that is leadership, that is what we need in white house. kennedy: it only getting spicy, thank you for stopping by. >> puddinger. kennedy: more pudding. >> getting sassy with massy. >> in california democrat senator diane feinstein still absent from the senate with shingles. some calling for pink slips, e elect

yeah, well, it began really with ron klein. and i think that the gatekeepers had something to do with that. i think the my book on the white house chiefs of staff was was regarded as fair and nonpartisan, right down the middle. you know, i praised republican chiefs and democrat chiefs alike. ron klain was a fan of the book and that didn't hurt. i mean, when when when you start to have a regular conversation with the white house chief of staff, other doors begin to at least creak, open slightly. it was still a war of attrition. i mean, getting all of these or almost all of them to talk and, you know, from tony blinken to to the cia director, bill burns, it was it was tough, but all the more satisfying in the end to have pulled it off. your mention of of bill burns, the cia director, brings a question to my mind. there's so much in the book that we can't have. don't have time to tell this evening. but there's one story i want you i want you to share, to tell our friends about his meeting with president zelensky before the invasio

i met with ron desantis as long as he wanted to visit. i was listening and thinking, this governor has done a great job in florida. i would differ with ken's assessment. i'd say the best governor in the nation is governor abbott in texas. we won't split hairs. as i left, there's no reason to keep waiting to get on board who i think is the next winner and the next president. that gentleman is donald trump. i believe he's a winner and he will take back the white house. our best chance to win next year and also a proven fighter and a proven leader and who we need to lead us in this fight to retake our republic. >> neil: it is early to your point. there could be another half dozen folks entertaining white house runs to make it official themselves. you feel you're committing yourself too early? what do you think? >> i don't. i don't think there's any more serious contenders jumping in other than ron desantis. i also think that, you know, he's focused on issues in florida and that's great. i'm not going to criticize him. i think he's new as gov

politics he said his meeting this afternoon with governor ron desantis focused on iran, not u.s. presidential politics but as you said, netanyahu is seen as a staunch political ally of former president trump, and i asked him point-blank would he want to see a ron desantis administration or another donald trump administration, here's his response. >> president trump has been a great friend of the state of israel as well, and he did great things for the state of great fn it's wonderful to have great friends. >> he visited as a congressman and in 2019, as a governor, clearly trying to bolster his international credentials, foreign policy credentials ahead of an expected presidential run potentially as early as next month. i did press the governor on what he thought about the controversial reforms that sparked protest in israel the last several weeks and months, and they said echoing in a way prime minister netanyahu, while israel is a strong ally, the u.s. should butt out of israel's internal affairs, according to governor desantis, chris. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you for that. >> a

ron desantis is not bad.as done good in florida but i do not know how he would do under a lot of pressure like donald trump has been with was in office. they do not want donald trump in there because trump knows the game. he knows their game and knows how to get things done. host: an earlier caller mentioned gop south carolina candidate nancy mace. she was on washington journal and responded to a question about whether the republican party was taking an extreme stance on abortion.

ron klain is what the white house chief sat him down and said mr. president, you will go to the following states, you will talk about women's reproductive rights and the threat to democracy from maga. joe biden ended up following that script and the rest is history. the democrats defied the odds in the november midterms. there's a good chance that will happen in 2024. >> is the biden white house hoping donald trump will be the nominee in 2024 >>? hoping would be the wrong word. i think they just assume that biden is -- that trump is a front-runner. he's wounded. he is politically weakened, but he's dangerous. i don't think anybody knows whether ron desantis for example , one of his principal challengers, whether he's ready for prime time, whether he can really take a punch when he's on stage with donald trump. there are still uncertainties. i think it is prudent for the biden white house to plan on trump. >> brett is calling from des moines, iowa. good afternoon. >> hello. i'm shocked i got on even. thank you chris and to the moderator. thank you ag

"he's-a done it! donald has come up with a nick-a-name. a-let's-a celebrate by eating a meatball ron."

why ron desantis? >> good to be with you, neil.antis is the most successful republican chief executive we've seen in decades in america and, he has done a spectacular job in florida as demonstrated by his winning record without ever backing down on his conservative principles. he won over, almost by 20% in the largest swing state in the america. he had the biggest coattails we've seen in a long time right down to school boards. nobody else who is looking at running for president can say that, or anything like it. so we hope he gets in this race and believe he is the best opportunity for the future of america, starting in 2025. neil: ken, has your old boss gotten back to you on this and called you a traitor? >> no. it hasn't gotten personal with me even though he has gotten personal with governor desantis. neil: right. >> i explain in short terms that i thought desantis was the best choice. it was polite, civil exchange but, via text but that's it. neil: did he text you back? did he text you back on that? >> no, not after that, not

absolutely not >> reporter: what about ron desantis >> no.would like to see the two of them mutually come together and agree to work with each other. and perhaps at the forefront, a leader, and handing off to somebody like ron in the future. >> reporter: now, katy, let's look at a reality to this. right now in new hampshire polling, donald trump has a sizable lead he is wrapping up legislative endorsements i was talking with a close trump ally they have had eight years to build a machine. they have been garnering campaign contacts to folks who voted for him in 2016, and 2020. donald trump is a known entity here everybody knows what he is able to serve up and it's going to be up o ron desantis and nikki haley come give them a try right now, the trump organization feels good about where they're standing in new hampshire. exactly why he's coming here. >> i guess you're saying he's a pepperoni pie, and people have to try the pineapple ham to see if they like it. that's where i think you're going with that. vaughn hillyard, thank you very much, an

ron desantis tonight has himself in a tough spot.not sure that he comes out on the winning side of it either way. >> i will say that there may be some benefit to him in this big disney fight, as somebody who is going up against donald trump who is a presidential candidate. but as a florida politician, tell me about this. how would you think about going up against a disney in your state? it is uniquely popular. it brings a lot of tourists, it is one of the biggest employers directly in the state. you may not like -- and i think there are reasonable people who may say that disney got a sweet deal in 1963 that is unlike what a lot of other corporations get. that said, disney is really good for florida. >> yeah, disney has paid back that sweet deal ten times over. and disney also has a special taxing district that about 100 other communities have in the state of florida. it's airports in other similarly situated municipal entities. so there is nothing unique about this tax status, this was complete vengeance on his point. it is so out of

and i think that's what's happened with ron desantis ron desantsis a candidate simply not win over votersu want to know about him you know trum that video where he's yelling at those masked teenagers telling them to take off their masks hy has a lot to say to those mask teenagers he has nothing to say about donald trump and january 6th he will give your high school librarian a peace of his mind, but when it talks about donald trump and paying hush money to a porn star he's chicken little. he will say we should go with a trump-putin lie of not supporting ukraine, but, you know, if you want to read a book about rosa parks he'll form an international alliance to stop it he's a classic bully he punches down. and the minute he faces somebody who punches back like donald trump he runs like usain bolt, and that is what voters expect and see in him >> i love the usaine bolt reference. what about the fact if he gets back up hooegd be traunger i know you're a big fan of dmx, so i know that one hit for you >> look, you could have -- anyone in charge of the ron desantis campaign -- there is no cure f

this is what ron desantis wants to do.maybe it's just being competent being not toxic and not you don't have to actually take on trump to defeat him. i don't know what you make of exactly and one thing that of all the republican voters i talked to one through line is clear. they want to win back the white house. they want to talk about joe biden, inflation, other matters so that i think is where some of these republican rivals as a c potentially some mileage in the coming months. there is an exhaustion factor, and they hope there will be even more of an exhaustion factor of all the legal mess imagined by the summer by the time that the first bait is held in august. if donald trump not only has this matter but one in georgia, potentially different one there is a sense of can he win the general election? so once this becomes an electability conversation, it may be different. but for now, in the first moment, as sir was saying all the candidates are simply afraid of getting on his wrong side. they know that they have to get t
