tom trump campaign is about him, not america, not you. donald trump campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. he's willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power. our campaign is different. this was a campaign kick off, tripping in symbolism. even before stepping on stage in pennsylvania, biden took time to visit valley, forge the place where george washington spoke of democracy as a sacred cause. almost 250 years ago, add to his home his points. he also chose to highlight this moments the more recent history, the january 6 riots were hundreds of trump supporters store the us capital in the wake of the 2020 election. trying to direct the facts of january 6. trump is trying to steal history. the same way he tried to steal the election. we saw it with our own ours. trump's mom was a peaceful protest, was the violent of soul. trump won't do what an american president must to refuse it should denounce political violence. during the campaign trail himself just days ahead of the iowa caucuses were republicans will select that soft choice for the parties. presidential nomi

that's what the 2024 election is all about. choices, claire, tom trump's campaign is about him, not america, not you sound trump campaign is obsessed with the past. not the future is willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power. our campaign is different. somebody can talk about that speech now with the w. washington bureau chief in his pole in a good to see your binding is pushing the january 6 attacks and the threat to democracy at the center of his being for re election. what did you make of this page? it's jared, that's really um and how come the noise used to be uncommon? i think we will get used to that over the next month for president biden, who try to avoid to even for knowns of the name donald trump, for many, many months in the past. but now he writes, you put some in the center, he puts the january 6, a tech, the storming of the capital in the center of his speech. and this kick of speech office come pain and saying kind of that nothing less but democracy is on the ballot in this upcoming election. it was a very powerful speech, a very presidential speech. and i have

. >> new this morning a symbolically important endorsement for donald trump. tom who was the number three house republican, the whip, he now has endorsed donald trump and that means the entire house leadership has endorsed donald trump and steve scalise did yesterday and this comes as trump's top rival, it seems, arguably, top rival, nikki haley doubled into the new year raising $24 million in the fourth quarter. haley is in new hampshire today and ron desantis and vivek ramaswamy are in iowa and also in iowa, most importantly, cnn's jeff zeleny. jeff, what do things feel like there? does it feel like this is the final push into the caucuses? >> john, good morning. 12 days until the voting finally begins into this 2024 campaign and it feels like there is no doubt that donald trump is still the overwhelming front-runner, and you mentioned nikki haley's money. she's using the newfound money to put television ads on and right now this is a race for second place. we've talked about this a lot for the last several months and you can feel that taking shape, though, betw

in response tom, trump took out what was a full-page ad at the time calling for new york to bring back the death penalty. those teenagers spent nearly seven years in prison before dna evidence proved that someone else had committed that crime. joining me now, one of the exonerated five who is now a new york city councilmember. it is great to have you here. congratulations on your victory. i haven't seen you since then. it's great to have you here in this moment. you have talked about how hard it is to see a man like donald trump rise to the pinnacle of american politics. i wonder what you think of his approach this time. the fact that so many in leadership in american politics are still backing him and he could very well potentially be the republican nominee for president. >> i think it is the scariest moment in time where we have almost preknowledge. we've been here before. and here we are again. and the outlook of what could be this is so unbelievable but yet believable at the same time. one of the things that i want americans to really consider is what we really want america to be.

tom. >> trump is also making headlines this week for his fifth xavier during the second e. carroll defamation case. at one point trump called the judge a radical trump hater. he referred to the case as, a quote, con job. he made several comments to and about e. jean carroll. you just mentioned his nature. is a strategy or is this the way the don trump behaves? >> both. he has been in so many big courtrooms in the last few years alone. has there been one judges anything nice about? maybe not. i think he did like aileen cannon in florida who was handling the classified documents. case on the any other judge has had nice things said, or hasn't been accused of having buys against him. it just goes with the territory. he automatically goes there because that is his way of explaining any adverse ruling. since leaving the white house he had been found to be liable of sexual sought and defamation. he was found already liable for fraud in his business dealings. he is trying to explain to his base whether japan trench a. do not pay attention to these people who said, in a court of la

less than four months after donald trump torpedoed his hopes of being house speaker, majority whip tome former president anyway yesterday in trump's bid to return to the white house. in a statement posted to twier the number 3 house republican wrote it was, quote, time to unite behind our party's clear front-runner. back in october when the minnesota congressman threw his hat in the ring to be the next house speaker, trump wrote on his own social media site this, voting for globalist like tom emmer would be a tragic mistake. emmer drew the vote to certify joe biden's election win, something none of the other current members of house republican leadership did. among them is majority leader steve scalise who also endorsed trump's 2024 campaign this week. but like he did with emmer, trump derailed scalise's membership in october suggesting he was too sick to hold the position after scalise had been diagnosed with cancer some months before. joining us now co-founder of punch bowl news, anna palmer. she's also an msnbc contributor. anna, great to see you this morning. we see this time and t

. >> this morning house majority whip tom emmer endorsed trump. the top five leadership have now all endorsed the former president. also this morning arkansas republican senator tom cotton backed trump's nomination. bret? >> bret: rich, thank you. let's get analysis now from fox news political analyst brit hume and fox news chief legal correspondent anchor of "fox news sunday" shannon bream. good evening both of you. first, shannon, trump's legal team filing is pretty long but a part of it says colorado's ruling is not and cannot be correct. this court should grant certiorari to consider this question of paramount importance. summarily reverse the colorado's supreme court ruling and return the right to vote for their candidate of choice to the voters. you know, everyone talking about this on the legal side seems to say this is cut and dry. are there things we are not thinking about when it comes to the supreme court on this? >> well, we have to see if they even take up the case itself. i mean, that's always the first prominent question you have to

in many ways the fact that we have secure borders under president trump, tom homan.re not secure. they abandon the policies that were working. i would say they're going to have blood on their hands. they already have blood on their hands in terms of allowing drugs into every crevice, every corner of our country. they don't seem to care. they don't seem to care about the human trafficking on top of it. they don't seem to care at all about preventing people from countries, our top geopolitical photos. that scares the living daylights out of me. you get the last word. >> i have done this since 1984. i spent 34 years doing this job and you're right if president trump is still the president i was the i.c.e. director these people wouldn't be in new york city. they be waiting to be deported. this administration is no humanity, a record number of migrants have died crossing borders. a record amount of americans have died from fentanyl overdoses. sex trafficking up 600%. people on the terrorist watch list, over 300. just on the southwest border. for years under trump, 11. thr

trump is going to do it again. lock the border down. stuart: the gentleman back with us, tom homan. t me get this clear, donald trump finished the wall if elected president. know no ifs, ands or buts about it. >> absolutely. the wall is working. every place they build a border barrier, reduce illegal drugs, walls work and it saves lives, they will go to the wall, who is going to be doing that? not united states border patrol. stuart: the president, trump said last night he built hundreds of miles of the wall. how much did he actually build? >> 465 miles. stuart: is the plan to build a wall across a couple thousand miles of the border? >> can't go wrong, national park in that sector, ragged cliffs you can't possibly build a wall but the clips themselves access the barrier. you have drug zones in texas, the floodwaters, flood walls built that act as a wall system but part of the wall you have to use technology because there's no way to build a wall. whatever makes sense needs to be done because it makes a difference. stuart: the white house defended the supreme court ruling to allow fe

. >>> new this morning, a symbolically important endorsement for donald trump. toms the number three house republican, the republican whip, he endorsed donald trump. house majority leader steve scalise endorsed trump yesterday. the entire republican house leadership has now endorsed trump which says something. all right. there some good news for nikki haley on the campaign trail. she reported a fund-raising boost in the beginning of 2024. $24 million in the fourth quarter of last year this doubled her cash haul in the third quarter. cnn's ian mcend on the ground in new hampshire where nikki haley is today. what are voters there saying about this? >> well, john, they are raising a range of issues when they show up to her events. many of them telling me that they think she's a strong general election candidate and other people asking her different questions and she was asked about monetary policy and the threat of china. one man told us that he's concerned about how divided we are in this country right now. we caught up with him afterwards. take a listen. >> there is

trump attended the second e. jean carroll civil defamation trial, this is the first he has attended and the plaintiff is on the stand. she testified that tom's defamatory comments led to a broad flood of threats and led to major damage. >> trump has been visibly reacting brought the testimony. first the dge utioned to keep his voice down so the jury did not hear him. apparently short time ago the judge threatened to exclude trump. paula reid is tracking this in new york. walk us through this courtroom class. >> reporter: this is pretty contrived courtroom drama. this is whatcame for. we saw last week and this week trump attends legal proceedings where there are rules you cannot enter a federal courtroom and make a ruckus when someone is testifying, those rules apply to everyone. the judge gave trump one warning and said i want you to be mindful whatever you're saying during the testimony cannot be heard by the jury. it appears that his reactions have escalated. this is a pattern we are seeing him he does not have to be in court, he is voluntarily attending this damages trial, although he did not show up to a single moment to the trial that w

tom: loving the president trump is a unique for the position he does not safe that what he would do or what help student, promises, his record and he did all these things in a close the border any got our economy booming and got working-class wages seven good resins are they going to have, under joe biden hennigan slow motion invasion and for us december over when you're up $3m migrants in one year the population of arkansas and working-class wages falling war is breaking out everywhere the bad guys in places and yeah man in russia and hamas in china they can take advantage of this is so simple congressman assault promises respirations, present somebody civilly saying, look at what happened president trump was in office, look what does evans is president biden is taking office which was i think american people want to go back to the good times and peace and prosperity of the trump era. brian: why don't you certify the election, no hesitation with you. back when all the happened in 2020 transition of power and so, you just put that you minimize that as opposed to where we are at is a co

we have be not, well, a culturally well with america off in 2009 with the also, after that trump, tom did not receive re received executive order. and joe biden just are the top. so the top is america, is the unit called for well with africa. so the fact that the american politicians was somehow pretend like, oh, it's terrible to 444 center tech team. what was the point chair of the us national prayer breakfast to come to uganda to support us. this is normal personality. the strategy is that the right as over someone is the strategy, is that the democratic members of congress and senators who want to leave in all different reality, these people were denied that man cannot become women. these people deny that women tend to become mad, but it says the is just to expand on that and also what you set up a bottles with your country in the west. i was going to say, is there a sense and you've done that. the friction with western nations that leads goes be all the, the gay law the encompass is resistance against essentially what they want you to follow. like get on with the program when it c

elizabeth: we have more breaking news, we bring in tom dupre. the trumpnews that the former president did file an appeal with the u.s. supreme court. they want to overturn this colorado state court decision to remove him from 2024 state primary ballot. what do you think that the supreme court will do. how quickly will they rule on this. >> i think they will reverse the colorado supreme court decision disqualifies former president trump from ballot. one thing that all parties in this case agree that supreme court needs to move fast, this election is coming up soon, ballots are about to be printed, supreme court does not have luxury of time, it can't take us usual months or years, the justices understand the gravity of this issue. of them deciding this case, i expect we'll hear in about a week or so they will take it, assuming they do, they will decide it quickly. elizabeth: supreme court does not want to be in the position of deciding an election, this push, how do you see it? we reported on how section 5 of 14 amendment says only congress can enact a law

. >>> breaking moments ago, a new endorsement for donald trump. tomr who is the number three house republican, the republican whip, he has now endorsed donald trump for president. this follows the house majority leader steve scalise endorsing him yesterday, the house speaker mike johnson has already endorsed trump, all republican house leadership has now endorsed donald trump for president. so the party apparatus really rallying behind donald trump. this comes as there is some positive news for some of trump's opponents. nikki haley's campaign reported raising $24 million in the fourth quarter. that is more than double her third quarter haul. haley is in new hampshire today, ron desantis is in iowa, that's where cnn's steve contorno is live for us now. what do you expect to see today, steve? >> reporter: well, that money that nikki haley is getting, that's going to be a nice injection of cash into her campaign and giving her more firepower to go after ron desantis. she has spent since november 14th almost $30 million between her and her super pac atta

and, it when you watch these senators now, falling in line to endorse trump. tomt says it all. this is a trump party, and what trump says is what most of the party wants. there is no market for any anti trump effort. and nikki haley, -- with when she raised her hand and said she would endorse trump even if he was convicted of felonies for basically overthrowing the government of the united states. incredible. you know christina, chris christie was caught playing knowledgeable pungent on a hot mic. listen. >> if atshe's gonna get smoked. and you and i both know that. she's not up to th. >> she hasn't even. >> she's still 20 pointbend trump in new hampshire, right. >> yeah, oh yeah. >> and he going to carry on it, right? >> yes, oh he is. i talked to, desantis called me, petrified that i would. like >> he's probably getting out after iowa. >> i mean, christina, he is right isn't he? >> sure he's right. but we've seen chris christie do this time and time again. don't forget in 2020, he was a staunch anti trump republican, and then we saw that he joined the administra

was single-handedly destroyed by donald trump, announcing his endorsement of trump's third bid for the white house. senator tom cotton of arkansas followed suit with a statement that i think perfectly articulated the insane false history that trump and his party are going to tell to try to win this election. here it is. senator cotton said, in part, quote, when donald trump was president, i'm echoes safe, strong, and prosperous. the economy was booming. working class wages were growing. our border was secure and our enemies feared us. with joe biden as president, everything has gone to heck. we -- border is wide open to a full blown invasion and our enemies are starting voice everywhere. of course, we also heard donald trump making those kinds of outlandish claims himself. everything was perfect when he was president, everything has been awful under joe biden. but recently, while repeating the argument -- when trump revealed a really amazing tell. >> were you better off five years ago, or are you better off today? no contest. there's no contest. nobody would say, nobody would say today, what a difference a pre

and donald trump just removing donald trump from the equation is not going to solve the problem. >> tom, let's explore that a little bit. let's talk about the two pillars right now of donald trump's appeal. one is this savior. thing that i am doing this for you. i am standing between them and you. i am being prosecuted so that you are not prosecuted, which makes zero sense, because nobody else would be prosecuted from things donald trump did. and, then there is this deep-seated grievance, which he wrote about that, it's this adopted by people, or is this there and we have to do a better job of figuring it out how you run a country when you have some large percentage of the population with deep-seated grievances? >> the strongest political force in the world right now is resentment. is deep-seated and mostly emotional and a rational resentment. and trump, i think matthew has a good point here. trump tapped into that. he kind of mind that as a very rich vein of political support among people who hadn't, had put into words this sort of itching feeling of inferiority and the sort of sense o

tom. i am voting for trump. i like trump. i wish everyone who was no for can stop and think about all the things trump does for us when he was president. i mean there is a lot of stuff that he done. see all the things that he did under pressure. i mean he was under a lot of pressure. the first week he was in there just about. i mean he still got things done. they was always on him. he told us what he was going to do when he did it. i wish people would really look what he did. >> diane, independent, hold, massachusetts. >> i agree with the last fellow. mp's rhetoric but i know he has -- what he has done for our country and i know his heart is with his country and i do not think nikki has the strength to stand up the emotional strength, to stand up to immigration and that is a huge problem. i believe the last figure said something like we put out $182 billion for migrants, i'm not and also i am concerned about, i mean donald trump is the intelligence and perseverance, and he has been tried and true, but i think people are in yo

. >> rich: tom emmer has endorsed trump. the top five republicans in the leadership has enforced him, so has senator tom cotton. >> sandra: thank you, rich. good to see you. john. >> john: keep this going. bring in jonathan turley, constitutional law attorney and fox news contributor. so, the maine secretary of state says she has a constitutional duty and the authority to remove president trump from the ballot. listen to what she told abc news live yesterday night. >> united states constitution sets the qualification for presidential candidates. i cannot place an 18-year-old on the ballot or noncitizen or if barack obama or bush and get significant signatures, i would be prohibited under maine law from placing them on the ballot. >> john: she insists, professor turley, she is similarly prohibited from putting donald trump on the ballot because of the prohibitions included in amendment number 14. because of him committing insurrection that he cannot qualify for being president. what do you say? >> jonathan: she's wrong. there'

donald trump with senator tom scott as well as vivek ramaswamy. all who have gotten in line and are following donald trump. his and observation, a way for them to try and show that the republican party is uniting behind the former president. obviously, that list is missing somebody big which is ron desantis. i am told that trump and the florida governor have not spoken since he dropped out of the race and endorsed trump. however, trump's team did reach out to ron desantis's team and offered somewhat of an open invitation to campaign with the former president at any time. they did not get into specifics on tonight's event but that is really the name of the game right now. that is their messaging. they are trying to put out that the republican party is getting behind donald trump. it is time for nikki haley to drop out and make trump the nominee. >> nikki haley has been stumping throughout the state today. what is her closing message? >> has been competing, campaigning in new hampshire incredibly hard. today, over the weekend, having so many events a

. >> thank you so much, joining us to discuss this, tom, let's start with trump's appeal in maine which was dropped, his lawyers are arguing that the secretary of state who made this decision to remove him from the ballot, they say she exceeded her authority and she is politically biased against trump. she is a democrat i believe and certainly not a fan. that is true. but, are those solid legal arguments? >> reporter: i think the trump legal team is on much stronger ground on their legal arguments about whether the 14th amendment applies to the president, whether it is self executing, so to speak, rather than going after the alleged political bias of the secretary of state. i understand why they are making that argument to set the table and try to put this in context of what they view as a politicized decision. but at the end of the day, i think the legal argument is going to rise or fall depending on those other constitutional challenges to her ruling.>> and oregon could be the next state, a third state that tries to bar trump from a primary ballot, should trump's legal team be concern

the favorite for republican domination donald trump hosting his own town hall, counter programming on fox news last night. tomnt has been brilliant on this. he is just not going to participate. forgetting about trump and biden, is this a new trend? where heavyweights in any campaign say we are just not going to do the childish back-and-forth? jonathan: i think it is strategic to say i am the former president, i'm not participating in the primary the way that you are. i have a massive lead and you are struggling to catch up. why participate? tom: have you seen the video of john f. kennedy and richard nixon in 1960? we don't want to get back to that. that is too nostalgic. there was a grace to it. kennedy said i am the young one and nixon struggled. the nation wants to see vitality and not one-liners. jonathan: can you see the front runners in this race talking about who is the young one? tom: maybe you want to put it in black-and-white and make it more theatrical. let's get to our next guest. the founder and president of macro policy perspectives. let's talk about the debate at the fed right now. let's sharpen

trump's losses have really turbocharged that resentment. they want what he wants, which is revenge. >> tom nichols, always great to have you on. appreciate the insight. come back soon. >> thanks. >>> coming up, developing overseas, what we are learning about two major strikes against russia, including one inside russian territory. we will tell about you t that comiming up. to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine like google, but it's pi and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browse like chrome, but it blocks cooi and creepy ads that follow youa from google and other companie. and there's no catch. it's fre. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today. >>> to the latest in russia's war on ukraine. 28 people have been killed and others injured on the outskirts of the russian-controlled city of donetsk. mark hertling joining us to talk about this. great to see you. what do you make of this development? very interesting. where doe

a handful have endorsed ron desantis or nikki haley, but trump has the backing of the top three republican leaders, tom emmer, the whip, steve scalise, and mike johnson was quick to endorsed trump after winning the speakership. there is a schism between the chambers of congress and republican leadership getting behind trump early. a lot of that has to do with the house has more gerrymandered districts, where losing a primary challenge is the biggest threat to your general election. you see a lot of folks getting behind trump earlier in the house. the senate is a lagging indicator. the house is in front with those endorsements or trump. >> why do these candidates seek endorsements from members of congress? >> that is a great question. especially as we see that versus the two early state governors, kim reynolds and chris sununu, who have endorsed other candidates besides trump. i do not know if a senator's endorsement matters, but trump really values endorsements. they are super important to him. he uses them almost as currency and politics. a great example is endorsing j.d. vance in the 2022 ohio primar

trump. interesting. and tom, i bet the safe and smart money on biting versus trim but nothing certain?s interesting because all those republican candidates know it is crucial _ republican candidates know it is crucial for — republican candidates know it is crucial for american democracy and the world _ crucial for american democracy and the world that donald trump become doesn't _ the world that donald trump become doesn't become a candidate and doesn't — doesn't become a candidate and doesn't win. they have been unable to defeat— doesn't win. they have been unable to defeat him through normal procedures and they're hoping he will be _ procedures and they're hoping he will be prevented from running by a le-al will be prevented from running by a legal procedure. they are in this difficult — legal procedure. they are in this difficult position of not being able to do— difficult position of not being able to do what they should do, which is to do what they should do, which is to publicly— to do what they should do, which is to publicly disown him, because they need his— to publicly disown

members have endorsed ron desantis or nikki haley, but at this point trump now has the backingi of the top the republican leaders, tom whip, steve scalise majority leader, both endorse trump this week, and mike johnson was fairly quick to mr. speaker to endorse trump after winning the speakership. so there's a definite schism split in the two chambers of congress and republican leadership on getting behind trump early. a lot of that is due to the fact the house has more gerrymandered districts where losing a primary challenge is the biggest threat to your general election and so you're saying ang lot of folks whose constituents are pro-trump getting kind of earlier in the house. the senate is a bit of a lagging indicator. the house is in front with regards to getting this endorsement to president trump. >> why do these candidates seek endorsements from members of congress? >> that's a greatat question. especially as we see that with the two early state governors kim reynolds and chris sununu candidatesed of the beside trump. i i don't know an individual senators endorsement matters between who wins especially if it's

and donald trump's defamation trial, he let it rip all week into tom's point, the media ate it up. n't the judge there tightening things up the way, i mean, trump had the microphone and he said whatever he wanted to say in it seemed like the judge allowed it to happen. >> i think one of the things dog trump does very well, sort of extraordinarily well, with the leeway the judges are giving him, he puts a lot of pressure on the rest. he does that because what he is trying to do essentially is to force them to make a call. either you're gonna shut me up and give me an issue that i can appeal for later, or you're gonna let me talk and i'm gonna run rampant whenever i can. that's something that sound strategy because in his position, because of his both horn he's able to do that. in terms of how different judges are responding to, a different judges have different governments in terms of what they feel is over the line and could potentially create an issue for appeal. but really quickly, i want to go back to the point that max and nancy just made. i actually disagree with you in terms o

> you saw a glaring example of that this week where the latest republican senator to endorse trump's bid, tomotton from arkansas, actually criticized him that day along with other republicans, calling him out and saying he should move to end the mob violence. now, of course, he's backing his 2024 bid. i think republicans are all going to fall in line shortly if he does manage to take iowa. it's just another example of his continued sway over the base and how they're unable to really deal with that. >> from the sitting president's standpoint, in his opening speech of the campaign, president-elect biden called donald trump a threat to democracy. do you think biden's words will resonate with those still-wary republicans, or does it make his base even more determined to, as you say, kind of clench the nomination for trump? >> yeah. i think biden was trying to do two things there. he was trying to, you know, engage those republicans and independents who supported him in 2020 or at the very least did not support donald trump back into the fold, republicans who might be not pleased with his economic

trump. 'when he launched to tom missiles against syria, the main motive for him for doing that was to distinguish himself from his predecessor barack obama, at the very end withdrew or didn't go ahead with a strike he had promised to, because if you recall they spoke about the chemical weapons red line etc. and then where there was a chemical weapons attack which they pinned on syrian president bashar al-assad, but obama backed down, he didn't go ahead and implement that red line'. "and i think what you're seeing now with yemen is quite similar, you have a president who's responding to certain domestic pressures, now i think the danger lies in the fact that after carrying out this operation, what if the amenies retaliate, what will the american response to that be, because biden, particularly now in an election year, i think wants to be seen as being some kind of tough guy, promoting that tough guy image, so if the yeminies retaliate you..." might see, possibly, i'm not certain, you might see another american retaliation, and then the situation could snowball, i think that's the dangerous scenari

. >> reporter: but in fact, that's exactly what donald trump is using against nikki haley, what he said about tom of, all donald trump is wrong. let's be clear on this, your parents, where their one is not relevant. you and i would be disqualified from the presidency of united states because there is your comment that you're born the united states. nikki haley was. so there is the gaslighting, which kind of works for donald trump, and then there is the inherent racism. because everything he does this with is of a particular group in america. >> that's right, a kind of works, but it kind of doesn't, because on the one hand, it works within the narrow strata of republican voters who turnout for maybe a primary, or caucus, base that he is appealing to, but on the other hand, it doesn't appeal with general election voters, ali, and it doesn't appeal with, for instance, voters in my own district. i represent one of the suburban districts that will be swinging in a general election, and other states, and 30% of my residents reformed. the vast majority of residents by district, you know, either have per

this morning trump secured tom emmer's endorsement. the top five house republicans in leadership there have all endorsed the former president. bill. >> bill: more to come. rich edson in washington, d.c. thank you. >> dana: meantime key voters groups are souring on the biden white house. three heading with the sights set on one campaign strategy, talk more about trump. this is a quote from a cnn report. some of the younger aides on biden's re-election campaign have been grimly joking about when to go full hitler when the leading republican candidates speeches and actions go so far the biden teams go all the way to a direct comparison to the nazi leader. haven't they already done that? >> yeah. their friends on msnbc have gone murder. claire mccaskill saying trump is more dangerous than hitler. just absurd and obscene this kind of comparisons. but this is every single one from the white house this is what we'll get. this will be a nasty, negative, ugly campaign presenting mr. biden's opponent as an enemy of this country and it will be po

bill clinton, donald trump, michael jackson, tom pritzker, david copperfield, the magician. people are accused of wrongdoing and that is important to note, it raises questions about what they might have known and why they were involved in this epstein orbit. >> steve: such a good point, no suggestion that anything happened, but they probably knew stuff that has not come out, 200 names so far. what is interesting and you referred to this talking to our producer, that is the fact when you look at what has been said in court cases, etcetera, sounds like bill clinton's relationship with ghislaine maxwell, who is behind bars is closer than his relationship with jeffrey epstein. explain that. >> right. that came up in documents, as well. e-mail between her and a publicist working for her where she talked about how she was concerned the media might start asking about her relationship with bill clinton. this is something i reported with daniel hopper in our book, "convenient death," this relationship with bill clinton and ghislaine maxwell was very close, closer than his weapon with

trump. it takes tom cotton of arkansas. er for ukraine, but now he's supporting and lavish north korean style praise of donald trump who is clearly is a potent candidate. so i think the party is just lost its mind. and, you know, i don't know how to stop this accepted defeat these people. the only way to teach them a lesson. you have to beat them. >>> what do you think is the way for? and also, what do you think happens in the ford when trump is off the stage? at some point he's going to leave american -- the american politics one way or another if his presence is going to be, there would happen to people like tom cotton or tim scott? >>> there's a great line from one of my favorite shows, 30, rock one alec baldwin's kara winter is telling tina fey's character is, sometimes have to go back down to go back out. i think the republican party needs to go, down to have to fill miserably, they have to lose big time. and that will create donald trump's exit off the stage and allow the republican party to move in a different directi

directly about that but i can only imagine if you want to get past donald trump, you've got to stand up to him. >> all right, tomoucher, thank you very much for joining us. >> you're welcome, thank you. >>> and next, my political panel will discuss haley's new challenge to donald trump, plus the eyebrow raising endorsement from vivek ramaswamy he just received and i'll speak with the director of the new horror film featuring mickey mouse. to duckduckgo on all your devie duckduckgo comes with a built-n engine like google, but it's pi and doesn't spy on your searchs and duckduckgo lets you browse like chrome, but it blocks cooi and creepy ads that follow youa from google and other companie. and there's no catch. it's fre. we make money from ads, but they don't follow you aroud join the millions of people taking back their privacy by downloading duckduckgo on all your devices today. >>> we have just two weeks now until the iowa caucuses, and just three candidates now will qualify for the iowa debate. here on cnn. donald trump, nikki haley, and ron desantis, now, both haley and desantis said that they will participa

there are moments they don't wanna cross donald trump on dicey issues because they think their voters will turn on him. their voters want border security. so tomical price for it. it doesn't even make sense to a lot of people watching this, politically, on the policy, it certainly doesn't make sense because this is what they have been asking for for generations. but even politically, they should be an easy one. you could say this time i disagree with donald trump, i think it was a great participant, but we are going to fix the water right now and we have a chance to do it. very strange, but i guess not surprising anymore. >> except it's not what donald trump wants them to do, because he wants them throughout this year to carry on talking about immigration. he can see the numbers to. it consumer confidence in this country is improving, if interest rates start to do better and gas prices are now down about $3 a barrel, $3 a barrel, then some of those economic issues may be off the table, while trump needs another issue off the table. he needs another issue in a row to whip up his base into a fury against joe biden, and if this is solved by the s

former president trump had tom holman come out, former border patrol official the other night.oing to make this a centerpiece of how they run and here's what tom holman decades long border official had to say. watch this. >> we're going to lock the border down. we're going to protect americans. what is happening at the border right now, record number of americans have died from fentanyl poisoning, record number of migrants have died. record number of women and children sex trafficked. known terrorists across the border. one man has proven he can security the border. he's standing to my left. donald trump is going to do it again. >> martha: record numbers of fentanyl, sex trafficking. the people -- the voters i talked to on the ground, they are linking this issue of watching people come across the border, hundreds of whom are on the terror watch lift but a lot of whom trafficking drugs that are killing teens in iowa and new hampshire. that's why they're so concerned about immigration. >> we share that concern about fentanyl. my goodness. that's why we just met with mexican autho

the fact that the republican leadership is rallying around him, including tom emmer, the whip who trumpavaged weeks ago, it shows a lack of leadership, and cowardice and they're enabling and complicit in trump's attempt to whitewash history. >> i want to talk to you about desantis in iowa. there was concern he brought his young son and there was these negative ads he was like people were like your son is parroting ads after watching football games and he asked desantis how to clean up politics so that they can teach his son to do better. what's the answer? >> look -- >> negative ads work, right? >> negative ads work. and people from richard nixon down will tell you that people vote out of fear not love. but that is what -- we should aspire to something higher. something for everyone to keep in mind is the responsibility of citizens and to vote for candidates who set an example for young folks to connect the best of our history with current politics. when you have that sense, realizing that politics' history in the present tense when you have people who treat it as smash mouth politics,

tom n caller: north carolina is trump country.n that office, everything has gone up. name me one thing that has gone down. go try to buy a car or truck. you are going to pay sticker or above. look at the border. by the time november comes, over 10 million people will have these democrats just sit back. that's fine. on top of that, we have to have cars by 2032. i saw the news the other day they had the big start -- no they had to leave their cars the middle-of-the-road. if you want an electric car and keep paying high gas prices and leave the border open, vote for joe biden. if you want change, i suggest you vote for donald trump. host: democratic caller. caller: good trump loves to say how much he hates the media. one of the important things republicans should remember about trump, he was whispering into the media's ear, meaning bob woodward, two months before covid was even acknowledged, and he told media people how bad this is going to be. this is going to be like nothing we've ever seen before, but he wasough his teeth the whol

tom amer. stand up and endorsed donald trump. they know better. i know that they know better. people who continue to deny the results of the 2020 election. people in leadership in the house who go on tv and say that the people who attacked the capitol in january 6 for hostages. i will tell you who the hostages are, the israelis who are still being hidden in tom wolf, in gaza, against their will. through no fault of their own. these people speak louder than the folks who attacked our capitol on january 6 and they are willing to stand up and speak to the people of israel who are in tunnels in gaza. that's not leadership. that's ambition and cowardice that outstripped their otherwise good judgment. we want to change this party and if we want to change this country it's hard work. it's not easy. from the moment i got into the race the decisions that i made were really simple. i would rather lose by telling the truth then lie in order to win. and i feel no differently today because this is the fight for the soul of our party and the soul of our country. why have we resisted the cal
