"justice hazy, try again later." [laughter] 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. luthor! i can't explain it, but superman got away again!" tacopina went on

ron desantis in a difficult _ two men. it puts ron desantis in a difficult position _ two men. it puts ron position because l in a difficult position because on a surface level, you would think ron desantis should celebrate this because this is his political rival being indicted, butjust because donald trump is indicted doesn't mean he can't run for president, and on top of that, donald trump and ron desantis are vying for the same group of voters. in fact, are vying for the same group of voters. infact, i are vying for the same group of voters. in fact, i would say their voters often overlap because we know that donald trump played a major role in the rise of ron desantis. so ron desantis does not want to upset or turn off any of donald trump's base, because that basis effectively his own political base.— political base. let's talk about the _ political base. let's talk about the base, - political base. let's talk about the base, shall. political base. let's talk | about the base, shall be, because given the amount of support that donald trump has been able to drum up amongst republican v

ron desanctimonious. ron dishonest. ron establishment tiny d and meatball ron. just a rumor. says he is not considering meatball ron. desantis is doing something that nobody has ever been able to do before though. is he staying disciplined and not taking trump's bait. >> he used to say how great of a governor i was. and then i win a big victory and all of the sudden he had different opinions. so you can take that for what it's worth. you know, at the end of the day, one of the reasons i have been successful as governor is i don't really pay attention to a lot of the bang ground noise. i mean, you know, is he only a big fish. but i get attacked all the time from every different angle and you either put points on the board or you don't. so i just focus on delivering the wins and i think we have done a pretty good job of following through on our promises. >> jesse: you can't ignore trump forever. eventually desantis have to go face-to-face on the debate stage with him. that's the moment that's going to define desantis. the first 30 minutes of the debate will tell us if desantis h

running at him he's going head on against ron desantis, and i think that is very notable ron desantis isn't even in the race yet, but donald trump knows two things, one, ron desantis is very clearly his biggest threat to the election, but also ron desantis is icing out the rest of the field right now other people who want to potentially get in, donald trump does better if there are several republicans in this race so he needs to go after ron desantis to weaken him and also to maybe put some question marks on whether ron desantis is the guy as other people get in the field, split that vote, benefiting donald trump. >> yeah, as i said, you were there. before last night, donald trump had been poking at ron desantis. last night it seems to me he unloaded, tell us about it. >> right this is the first time on a campaign stage that donald trump went after ron desantis, florida governor, by name. let's take a listen to a little bit of what he said about ron desantis and we'll go through point by point on the back side. >> okay, so, remember this, ron desanctimonious, ron desantis strongly opposed ethanol know that? he was very, very bad on ethanol. he fought it a

ron desantis's chances for president? do you see this man, who is already been dubbed meatball ron, ron sanctimonious, there is no bottom forre is nothing that he will avoid in the scorched earth campaign. what chances have against donald trump? >> look, i still think he has a pretty good chance against trump because of the big possibility of trump still facing multiple indictments from the federal and state levels. when i say, that i'm thinking of the fact that there is still republicans who are primary voters who have long been looking for an all fringe and an alternative to trump. so if desantis can just get himself dressed and show up and not say stupid things every day, . waiting for an ad trump indictment could be a strategic play for his campaign. >> yes indeed. juanita, stuart stevens, thank you both we appreciate it. coming up, republicans predicted armageddon and held dozens of votes to repeal the affordable care act. 13 years later the landmark legislation is still standing. that doesn't mean gop white efforts to weaken it are over. when the 11th hour. continues ty insurance company that's been saving people mone

ron -- desantis ron desanctimonious ron desantis strongly oppose ethanol. get it we don't even know if he's running. but if he's not running, i wil say, he was fine on ethanol, don't worry about it and to be honest, ron desantis reminds me a lot of mitt romney so, i don't think you are goin to be doing so well here but we are going to find out but those are the facts. >> michael, do these kind of attacks land with republican voters today >> not really. you can hear, even in the room that it was kind of flat, yo know people are like -- yeah, okay it was just kind of that vibe. >> [laughter >> i think trump - a still getting his sea legs - >> can you give us that again? how did the crowd respond. >> it was just - [laughter] yeah, okay it's that vibe, you know that kind of vibe that says, yeah, i'm here with you. but i know you can do better but i'm not feeling what you are doing right now. and i think, for trump, it's a matter of how he gets his se legs under himself again he always gives the impression that he's giving a speech that it is the first time he' r

ron desantis so upset with disney. why was ron desantis so upset with disne . . . , . why was ron from disney, they decided they wanted to take some retribution and revenge and they focus on a special arrangement disney has which is a taxing district which was designed to help, basically helped build the infrastructure for the park. it's a unique arrangement in florida and so they decided they would attempt to try and repeal the district or dismantle it. in the end they realise they couldn't do that without resulting in enormous amount of tax debt to going to florida taxpayers. so, they found another alternative which was to create a governing board controlled by the governor and no longer controlled by disney. 50. governor and no longer controlled by disne . , disney. so, this new board, controlled _ disney. so, this new board, controlled by _ disney. so, this new board, controlled by the _ disney. so, this new board, controlled by the governor i disney. so, this new board, i controlled by the governor and no longer by disney, settled in and they found what exactly?- they found w

ron desantis more skillfully used donald trump than any other republican recall in the early days, people were trying to -- republicans, nikki haley and others were trying to replicate trump. ron desantis went in as a trump evangelist, used him to get to the governor's mansion i think this is the first time donald trump leaned in to hitting desantis republican voters were uneasy about that ron a darling right now, largely because he's been unchallenged so donald trump is going right at him ron desantis voted to cut social security now he says he'll protect it he shut down florida ron desantis' entire narrative i kept florida open, that's not true he shut it down and then reopened it. >> let's touch on that he did buck a lot of people in the party, saying protecting ukraine aid is not a vital u.s. interest. >> what ron desantis telegraphed to vladimir putin is wait until republicans win in 2024. >> okay. let's talk about trump who went after another potential rival, of course, former vice president mike pence according to the post, he blamed january 6th on pence he said, had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn't have had a problem with january 6th. so in many ways you can blame him for january 6th. will this play with voters >> this is an interesting rift the insurrection is now baked into doctrine in today's gop you can't question the events of january 6

the last few winters of the cpac straw poll was ted cruz, ron paul, ron paul and ron paul. arly good indicator of who our nominee is going to be. 80 president trump will ultimately be the nominee, but we have a long way to go. doug: i was wearing my 2012 iowa straw poll t-shirt, a lot of people forget who won in 2012, it was michele bachmann, whose campaign did not do well. she disregard straw polls good they are not even cotton candy level of nutritional value for politics. amna: you mentioned governors having trouble going outside their states. will ron desantis have tha problem? david: it doesn't look like it come he's well into the mid-20's to 30's depending on which poll you see. he clearly is getting -- his donor base is not just from florida, he's raising money across the country. he has gone the ability to get some oxygen and attention and that's where he is in the polls right now. amna: he's running on this anti-woke agenda. when you look at governor hogan, who said i'm not going to run in this field, he was firmly a reagan republican. even wrote in ronald reagan fo
