you're not going to get that from ron desantis. ron desantis, i think, has less. ron desantis. so from what we've seen and been on the national level now for a while i haven't seen the humor. i haven't seen the self-deprecating. i haven't seen the entertainment value of ron desantis. now, governor desantis does tremendous job in a controlled environment. when just him when he's got the mike, he's great. he's amazing. there's no one better but i don't know if you go and have a look at some of the debates. ron desantis against andrew gillum in 2018. the democrat candidate who ended up being cocaine addict or whatever was captured in a hotel room with a male prostitute. only the democrats so if you go and have a look at those debates, if you have a look at his most recent debate with crist. okay. desantis is not as good. not saying he's bad, but he's he gets the job done, but he's not as good on his feet. in a less controlled environment, i hope to vote for ron desantis for president in. 2028. i think he can wait for years. florida needs. him. florida wants him. not. so i want him

i would not underestimate ron desantis at all.erry: nikki haley is get a launcher bid next week, we will find out then but what is her message what will she stand for what is her identity in the republican field? >> i think that's a key question i disagree with philip a little bit i don't know that shall be that formidable in the context of her republican primary because she doesn't have a lame she's trying to be populous like donald trump at times she is a neoconservative defense talk in ways that the parties have moved on from the bush era approach to foreign policy, she's managed to upset trump polymers from the way she tries to distance himselherself from him but at te time people who are never trumper's within the republican party she is too closely associated with him having served in his cabinet i don't know where he nikki haley it's into the landscape when you have so many other republican candidates like mike pence, ron desantis who have very clear constituencies within the party and clear rationales. gerry: we went to th

quinnipiac has another polled a a couple more people in the mix who would you choose donald trump 43%, ron desantistchup desantis would beat trump according to most of the polls in the crowded field trump could do what did he in 2016 when he won primary after primary with less than half vote. from trump's point of view the more candidates in the race the merrier. we are back with our panel. hugh, he said as much. he has put out statements on truth social sayings the more the merrier when nikki haley got. in you talked to the former president. where does his mind sit? >> i think he is looking forward to a large stage full of combative would be presidents about whom he is willing to compare and spar with. governor desantis does have that book you mentioned coming out, bret, the courage to be free. that follows memoirs by vice president pence and secretary pompeo and ambassador haily. i expect chris sununu to get. in it's going to be a very talented field but donald trump knows how to work a debate stage and how to work a republican primary. i think everyone else has got pretty gooded media chops, too

so, ron desantis has to at least play nice somewhat with trump there are voters who may like ron desantissway either way. it's going to be difficult there at the same time, though, ron desantis understands that there are a lot of people in the republican party who think that there should be newer and younger leadership and who want to, you know, go separate way from donald trump. so, he is in an awkward position. it's a narrow tight rope and i think we will see in the next couple weeks how he walks that rope. >> definitely. on the other side, 2024 presidential nominee should president biden run or should someone else run on the democratic side? 37% for president biden and the "new york times" says he has a succession problem. those who love mr. biden the most dreaded inevitable republican ad that raises the possibility of his not being able to finish a second term strings together his most embarrassing bobbles and bloopers into a 30 second thread. it's no betrayal of him for the public spirited democrats want to to address these issues head on. simple denial of relation for him to say i d

donald trump and ron desantis. es today that liberals can learn a lot from desantis. quote, it would be tempting to write off desantis, the bombastic republican governor of florida, as another unelectable right wing lunatic unfit for national office. we've made that mistake before. we're back with my guests. natasha, basically what pamela paul is saying is that desantis is not trump. people who think he's the new tangled trump, he's not trump. he's stolen a page from trump. but her argument is we shouldn't write him off. compare their respective back ground think. trump's acceptance into the university of pennsylvania after an academic known only for mediocrity. desantis, the son of a tv ratings box installer and a nurse earned his way into the i'vy league. he worked his way through yale while playing baseball and graduated magnum cum laudee. >> it sounds like she's really impressed by his resume. >> i think that was a lesson learned with donald trump. i think when donald trump ran, it changed our standard for every

brandon, whether we like it or not, ron desantis is winning, isn't he?porting the florida illiberal model bit by bit, week by week. was the feedback from liberals who are not named gavin newsom? >> well, that's the question right now. where the democratic governors? where are the blue state leaders? who is setting the national tone around what is possible if we reject ron desantis's brand of authoritarianism? that's been my question as we've been battling this ap african's american studies issue. where are -- whitewashing propagandized to massage the feelings of a narcissist in florida? and i'm like that you rightly point out that this is not just a florida problem. because i see the memes. i see bugs bunny sinus off and sending us into the atlantic ocean. that's cute, but that's not how politics work. and it's worth saying atlanta that ron desantis is animated by a desperation to be president of the united states. so if you're made on comfortable by the way in which books are being banned in florida, imagine giving him the keys to the united states depa

you've seen a lot of— leg up to ron desantis. you've seen a lot of news— leg up to ron desantis.d. we will need to leave it there, we are out - and that is good. we will need to leave it there, we are out of - and that is good. we will need to | leave it there, we are out of time. thank you very much to all of my panelists and will be back at the same time tomorrow i hope you will join us for that. good night. hello. wednesday signifies the start of spring. well, meteorologically speaking anyway. butjust as the seasonal calendar leaps forward, the temperatures are set to leap backwards. we've got white colours on our temperature charts compared to normal. that's an indication of temperatures actually close to normal. but as a blues start to develop, temperatures drop certainly as we go through the weekend and into the start of next week. at the moment, though, coldest relative to normal southern europe, what we have in the jet stream is one coming out of the atlantic, pushing northwards in towards the arctic, high pressure building under that. but we have this cutoff low, then st

anyway, as i mentioned so ron desantis was here in, no.ennsylvpennsylvaniawhere he tat about this to the crowd there. >> there shouldn't be any of these woke prosecutors getting elected anywhere in the country at this point. we have seen it. it's been an experiment. and the experiment has failed and there's a lot of people that have been victimized based on this political ideology. and, in florida, our promise to parents if you send your kid to kids to school in florida they will get a education not a political indoctrination. what some people don't know is some of this critical theory is trying to teach kids that police officers are just out gunning down minorities with impunity. and without any basis to do it. and they are trying to create a hatred for law enforcement amongst very young and impressionable kids. so that is unacceptable. we don't put up with woke ideology. we do not surrender to the woke mob. my state. [applause] is where woke goes to die. >> brian: i also think. this what he said too is a shot at president biden. presiden

trump's more focused on ron desantis.ay deciding you know, i could say something, but i pass. >> i spend my time delivering results for the people of florida and fighting against joe biden. i don't spend my time trying to smear other republicans. >> you can do that if you're not running, but if anybody who can remember 2016, sorry for those of you if it brings back trauma, but donald trump on a stage with his opponents. dr ron desantis has to mix it up if he gets in. >> absolutely if he gets in. i think now he doesn't have to mix it up, number one because we know that speaking to a republican base you're going to lose people if you go too hard against trump right now. and so i think ron desantis is trying to stay above that, but he's throwing in a little bit of shade, you know, saying, you know, i'm working on winning elections and doing what i was able to remain in office to do. i do -- you know, i think it would be -- ron desantis will be hard-pressed not to run for president given all his momentum, all the speculation.

that's the other challenge for ron desantis. i do think ron desantis has had had an incredibly good political note, and i know we've talked about it's been domestic. i can't imagine that somehow that's not going to follow through when he's talking about, you know, what we should do internationally and especially in this very important, you know, war that could lead to a greater war. i mean, there's a great article that came out by vick or to have davis hand concern victor davis hanson. he thinks it is the prelude to a third world war. these are really scary kind of articles to read as a mother with kids. and i just, you know -- pete: real estate is -- reality is donald trump's still trying to block ron desantis out. it's not a fore gone conclusion desantis will announce, but if he does, that's when the republican primary starts. rachel: and this op thetic will be front and center -- topic. pete: by the way, we've talked a lot about the southern border. we know our northern border is porous, but a bunch of republican representati

ron desantis has governed very effectively and consequentially in the state of florida. e governor without donald trump's help. so i think that's what you'll see desantis, if he was listening to my advice, i'd say acknowledge the former president's help, he helped me get there, but i've stood on my own two feet since i've been here. and if you like what i've done -- he's going to run on his record this session in florida. and at the end of may, june, he's going to get in the race and point to all of the things he's accomplished. i think he's going to try to have it both ways. >> bakari, in an interview to promote the book, desantis defended stepping into these fights with private companies like disney. even as other rivals for 2024, declared and undeclared, say government intervention and private enterprise goes against republican values. he's, like, no, no, this is what i think, and here's why. here's part of what he said. >> if wall street banks will not give a loan to someone, say, in the firearm industry, that's effectively changing gun rights in america. not getting

ron desantis.und from him where he's responding to the larry hogans, chris sununus and others who have been talking about him. >> when you're out there leading, when you're out there setting the agenda, not just for florida, but really for the nation which we've done over the last few years, people see that, and the people that don't necessarily like that are going to respond accordingly. i can just tell you, if people are not firing at me, then i must not be doing my job. i view it really as positive feedback. >> this is just the beginning. how do you think he will stand up against criticism? >> i will note larry hogan left with one of the highest rankings of governors in a blue state as a republican governor. chris sununu, purple state, the second highest approval rating. i they they're doing fine as far as leadership. he's going to have to address donald trump. he doesn't benefit anything by punching down. he's going to need to take trump on directly. trying to out-extreme him, and not even trad

this actually helps ron desantis in the gop primary.ws him to stay out long enough to build his message and get ready for a tough race against donald trump. >> so interesting, matthew and isaac, stay with me. shaq brewster, thank you so much. >>> biden's trip being called one of the most difficult sigh sive moments of his presidency. how will putin respond to the surprise visit? we're live in moscow next.

and now governor and presidential candidate ron desantis. it mentioned in desantis' 2011 book he preached about the virtues of so-called limited government which isn't necessarily what we're seeing with the battle against disney. obviously with kay powell's review, he was hawkish around the annexation of crimea, certainly a shift where the voters have been. >> thanks to both of you. >>> median bill maher's predictions have been spot-on, i went to los angeles to get his take on the election with 2024. you can hear what influenced his own career and his view on state of comedy in the land of wokeness in his view. you can see it prime time tomorrow 9:00 a.m. right here on cnn. >>> and new fallout for dilbert, not only are hundreds of newspapers dropping his strip and syndicated operation and another rant as it is deemed racist on youtube. stay with us. er. so addining a “student” title might feel overwhelming.g. what if a scschool could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. it's coming along. well, it can. nationa

one man expected to announce his bid is florida governor ron desantis.n monday he stoke the flames of the ongoing culture war in the u.s. by repeating a host of exemptions afforded to the walt disney company in his state. many analyst believe it was a retaliatory move against his stance on teaching gender in public schools. take a look. >> a kingdom seized in the name of war against the woke agenda. potential presintial candidate ron desantis signed a bill that drastically changes how disney's florida theme park will be governed. for the past five decades, the special test district has allowed the 100 square kilometer park to operate with a high degree of autonomy, exempt from most state regulations. >> disney loses self-governing status. the state of florida is the new sheriff in town. our vision is yes, you have to ensure that all these laws are applied, you got to ensure that debt is paid, and you got to ensure the fair share of taxes are paid. reporter: the new law authorizes government to appoint five supervisors to oversee municipal services there.

governor ron desantis. you'll see fresh reporting on where he is on a 2024 run and one major donor predicting he will be the nominee. >>> plus the russian journalist who stood up to putin and protested his war on live television joins me tonight. she's going to tell you how her and her young daughter escaped moscow. an incredible story and whether she regrets anything about her public stance against putin. >>> and the hits keep coming for congressman george santos. big questions raised that found more than $365,000 in unexplained and undocumented expenses. at least one of his donors is now talking to the justice department. and effortlessssly responds to both of you. our smart sleepepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number. ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks. u rise to the challenge. u won't clock out. so u bring ubrelvy. it can quickly stop migraine in its tracks within 2 hours... ...without worrying if it's too late or where you are. unlike older m

what's the calculation that ron desantis is making here?ernor desantis over the last couple of years and especially in the last six months or so has tried to pick some of these cultural battles in florida as a way to communicate his own values to a national republican audience as he thinks about running for president, so this fight with disney is exhibit a but you can also look at his agenda on schools, on education, on the ap african american studies course. it's been one issue after another where he's tried to stake out sort of ground, a position on the conservative right as a way to appeal to a national audience of sort of hard right republican voters who he knows will be so influential in a presidential primary next year. >> without a doubt but clearly as he touts this record in florida, he's done it in his book, he's been traveling, he's going to be traveling some more, i mean, if he got the nomination, then what? i mean, how does that set the facts help him win a presidency? >> well, look, i mean, it would be very difficult, i think,

ron desantis is way behind me. i have 1.2 million more votes than ron desantis. 's not really fair comparison, right? that was for governor of florida. let's just be clear, though, jeff, when you look at this, desantis responds sometimes very clearly, but not clearly. he doesn't say trump's name. he talks about how he won and how resounding it was and he punches back but he does not use trump's name. do you think that that's right? or does he need to hit back more directly? >> well, this is just trump being trump. we know what we're going to get and there's no surprise when you see on the tv and listen to him say those things and pick on people. my encouragement as a republican would be for ron desantis to not take the bait. stay focus on pointing folks back to his conservative record in florida, how he's grown an economy, helped navigate a state through a pandemic a lot like governor kemp here in georgia. and our opportunities to put on display what conservative leadership really, truly looks like. don't take the bait. stay focussed on the mix ahead. >> so to the

here is what ron desantis had to say.nor desantis: my signature in this bill will impose florida law on this area, just like it is imposed on universal studios and sea world and all of these other places. and this bill and the structure we have created in this bill will ensure that the municipal debt that has been racked up will be paid by disney, not by florida taxpayers. james: with me is our north america correspondent. i learned earlier today that ron desantis got married at disney world back in 2009. he is now the governor. why has he made disney world such a centerpiece? anthony: you can't understate how important disney is to florida's economy and the influence it has had. but i think it was a good foil for ron desantis, this california-based company that was objecting to the don't say gay bill, as you mentioned. it was a chance for desantis to make his point that there are corporations in this country, in his view, that are too liberal, pressured shareholders, the public, to spout liberal agendas. and this was a c

and why florida governor ron desantis' apparent white house ambition strikes at the heart of the americanssroom. desantis has staked his political future on a bid to block an advanced placement course in african-american studies, saying it lacks educational value. it's that fight, which desantis started, that has brought protesters, clergy, political and civil rights leaders to tallahassee, to the shadow of the old capitol building that once served as florida's seat of confederate secession. and it could prove to be his first big political mistake. fighting to kill wokeness only to wake up thousands in his state to fight back. their message to the governor, keep your political agenda out of our schools. >> so how can you stand and try to rewrite history for a race of individuals that you're not even a part of? >> really you don't want to talk about the tough parts of history? i mean, that's cowardice. history is a beautiful, ugly story, and you have to embrace all of it. >> black history does not make anybody uncomfortable. racism makes people uncomfortable. injustice makes people uncomfo

i don't spend my time trying to smear other republicans. >> governor ron desantis, this week, spent somermer president, donald trump. they have lost some broadsides against desantis, reacting to some new polls that showed desantis either tying or -- trump to the 2024 matchups. desantis says that he has one singular focus. delivering results. in the past year, those results featuring promises in schools across the sunshine state. we've seen the state's department of education project math textbooks, and the way the states deem problematic. the states university already canceling courses a florida might consider indoctrination. we have seen elementary school classrooms, libraries, papered over with construction papers so that teachers can avoid felony charges for displaying books that the state determines to woke. i want to do that on camera. woke. governor ron desantis so-called stop woke policies has a never ending quest to vanquish a critical theory rates when mike dungeons and dragons. they said, it was seeing some of those culture war results may begin to seep into high school classro

ron desantis. ron desantis isn't even in the race, and he's not taking the bait and responding. o focused on desantis already, and is desantis smart to, just to ignore him? >> well, i mean, trump has focused on desantis because desantis is going to get into the race. i mean, barring some sort of major thing that happens, it's just a question of when, not if. and donald trump knows that he is his most strongest competitor in that way. you see it in the polls. there's a lot of republicans who have a great deal of interest in ron desantis. so he's going to try to soften him up already. we're waiting for the nickname, a couple more that'll come by. [laughter] but right now i think ron desantis is actually being very smart in not taking the bait, because it makes him look a little bit bigger. i mean, he has had a very good line to this which is that i am busy actually taking care of the business of the state of florida. i've got stuff to do and not to descend to these sort of petty fights. so he's out there actually accomplishing things and letting his record stand, and it leaves trum

[video clip] >> what i think we will have is a vigorous primary with a number of candidates making their case and the american people, those who are republicans who will participate in these primaries will decide who they want to nominate. i think it will be very competitive in these primaries and we will hope for the best. i will support whoever the nominee ultimately is. host: who should

they're all taking a page out of the ron desantis playbook as he continues his own demagoguing photo him to ship migrants across the country using florida taxpayer money. but desantis is much more private about a behind the scenes effort that is frighteningly serious. last month, the tampa bay times reported that he is appearing in radio ads in idaho of all places calling to invoke article 5 of the u.s. constitution to call for a convention to amend the constitution. desantis' stated goal is to get in an amendment opposing congressional term limits but as puck news notes, even this position has allowed fringe conservatives to dream of a day when they can use their control of state legislatures to fix all sorts of perceived federalist ills. joining me is david jolly, former republican congressman and msnbc political analyst, and david, this is one of my things i have obsessed about over the years. because there has been a long-standing conservative republican wish to get in and tinker with the constitution to do things like to impose a balanced budget amendment, which would trigger dr

here is a new ron desantis ad put out by the friends of ron desantis pack and it is making people wonderly going to run for president? watches latest ad. >> one of the things that struck us in florida is floridians are pessimistic about the country's direction, about the biden administration, but yet, majority of them were very satisfied and encouraged by florida's direction. you think about it, normally if things are going back naturally, people will feel bad across the board of cured people recognize florida has actually done it right. we stood for the right principles and we are ready to fight these fights when it's not easy. we stood up for a lot of people and lifted them up. that is why the state has succeeded. we have people visiting here, moving here like never before. i think the video is more about telling that story. so come i would say it's more about that than any type of campaign. >> that was him reacting to the ad with fox news poll has him above donald trump 43%, ron desantis 28%. if they ran against each other and those are the two leaders, trump put his name in the hat t

eulogist with a hard-out donald trump and florida governor who buys his suits at the container store ron desantis shows trump barely ahead by the skin of his teeth with a 26-point lead over desantis, mike pence, nikki haley, and the rest of the future fox news greenroom barnacles polling the single digits. as we speak, trump is huddling with advisors, horse-teeth real-estate developers, and belarus honeypots to fine-tune his attacks on desantis. a genius move by trump there to remember that seniors need government support once their kids lose contact because the qanon stuff is just too much. meanwhile, governor desantis is trying to bury in the same hole as his years of sycophantic trump endorsements an advanced-placement african-american studies pilot program in florida high schools. -this course on black history. what are -- what's one of the lessons about? queer theory. that is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids, and so when you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons, that's a political agenda. -god forbid florida students are exposed to ivory-tower ideas t

if donald -- if ron desantis wants that, he's got that.etty much if got it locked up, from what i understand. i'm not saying nobody's going to give to trump that makes a lot of money, but they want desantis. trump, on the other hand, could use that to his advantage, and i think that's what you're seeing here. he's going to say, listen, i'm running against elites in both parties, the democrats and the republicans. ron desantis is an animal of the elite, and if you, if i'm running for the forgotten man, it's -- and woman -- it's a populist message. and it might work. it might not work as well. i mean, it's kind of hard to say that desantis didn't do anything in florida. i mean, that's -- [laughter] that is your campaign message that, you know, florida was great beforehand and he just, we just flicked him in and, you know, he's just doing the same stuff that he's always done, you know, the voters in florida didn't say that. voters in florida overwhelmingly, wide margins, wider than, you know, past governors, successful governors voted ron des

here is how mike pence is responding, maybe trying to outculture war ron desantis.icies, perhaps trying to get out front in some of this stuff, and, by the way, he's in iowa. >> of course, he's going to be spending a lot of time in iowa, i imagine, before announcing. and one of the things a lot of these potential candidates want to be doing is showing that they are leading on the education front. they want to show they are standing up for parents' rights, standing up against the, quote, unquote, woke agenda that's going into schools, standing against things like critical race theory. it's really just an effort, an arms race, in a way, to try to get ahead of the pack and saying that i will be the person to stand up against this liberal indoctrination of students. it remains to be seen how that would play in a general election. we are at a place where the primaries could be leading candidates so far to the right that it may be harder to come back to the middle. we saw that in the midterms with a number of candidates that struggled. right now we're in a red meat zone,
