tonight america is seeing ultimate in election interference as four unelected state judges all appointed by democratic governors have ruled donald trump must be kept off next year's presidential ballot. colorado supreme court wrote that we conclude because president trump is disqualified from holding office of president, it would be wrongful act under election code for secretary to list trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot. the secretary may not list president trump's name on the 2024 presidential ballot nor count any write-in votes cast for him. the suit focused on section three aimed at barring confederates from federal office who engaged in insurrectionist behavior or rebellion. case was spearheaded by citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington. that is great. the trump legal team will need to move fast and appeal to supreme court of the united states. the decision of the colorado supreme court and stayed or delayed until january 4, key deadline in being able to qualify for the ballot. here to react is jonathan turley, law professor at gw university. jonat

it would transfer power from executor of officials who are ultimately democratic accountable to unelected judges. this is a really tough topic to explain, and i know you did it so beautifully in that speech. help our audience understand the stakes in this decision about chevron and why you think it's so important. trump so this sounds like a very wonky issue. and actually it is, but it's a fundamental importance. so for it, the question is how do courts review decisions of administrative agencies interpreting federal law? there are hundreds of administrative agencies in our system, you know, from big important ones like epa and the faa and the fcc to hundreds of smaller ones. and almost all of them have the authority to interpret to issue regulations, take actions that rest on agency interpretation of federal law. so for the past 40 years, under a case called chevron that jeff mentioned, we've been following a very simple rule in chevron, by the way, it was, i believe, unanimous, right? was that. yes. simple two step rule when we're reviewing the agency's interpretation of the statute, we

and asking, unelected and i'm asking, should unelected civil impartial ?sunak's legislation designing rwanda as a designated rwanda as a safe country for deporting asylum seekers. why it all feels, i quote, institutionally bound to express concerns about proposals to disapply elements of the human rights act from the rwanda scheme . and of course, this scheme. and of course, this comes amid heated discussions about how far the bill should go as the supreme court ruled the plan was unlawful full just less than a month ago . and some than a month ago. and some conservative mps still believe the legislation will fail unless it also applies the european convention on human rights. well, this sparks broader debate around the role of the unelected civil servants and their mandate to provide evidence based advice to provide evidence based advice to elected officials. so for this , the great british debate this, the great british debate this, the great british debate this hour, i'm asking, should unelected civil servants remain impartial ? unelected civil servants

this is a raw act of judicial power for unelected judges in the state of colorado question of federal law, thank goodness. they don't have the final word on questions of federal law. that goes to the u.s. supreme court. and i am confident that the u.s. supreme court will reverse this because it is a lawless ruling and politically, it may wind up benefiting trump. who knows. but it is not good for our country at all, laura. >> no. and i hope the voters of colorado are watching this very carefully tonight because you have four judges on your supreme court who don't believe you have a right to cast your ballot for whom you want unless you support biden or the other candidates. if you like trump and you are in colorado and you are on the fence? guess what, they don't think you count. chris, thank you for your analysis, so important tonight. we really, really appreciate it. we are going to continue to monitor president trump in iowa. i imagine he is going to address this ruling. we are going to bring that to you when he does. and, coming up, a former nfl player says that former white house

military regime — unelected military regime — unelected military regime — who think they are a law untotting military hardware from russia — of all countries, it's actually russia that is providing military hardware to myanmar, enabling it to persecute the war. china tried to help pacify the situation, but the military — nor to asean leaders nor to china. after months of speculation about the future ownership of manchester united — the club has announced that the british billionaire sirjim ratcliffe is buying a 25% stake for around $1.6 billion. under the terms of the agreement, he'll take control of football operations, like recruiting players and management staff. our sports editor dan roan reports. when sirjim ratcliffe toured old trafford earlier this year, the british billionaire was hoping to buy manchester united. instead, he'll become a minority shareholder of the club he says he's always supported. the founder of petrochemicals giant ineos, ratcliffe's already invested in sailing and cycling teams and owns a third of mercedes in formula one. the owner of two football clubs, inc

he used words like deranged prosecutor jack smith, an unelected committee on january 6th.also called nelosi crazy and president joe biden dishonest. the fbi has confirmed it is investigating threats made against colorado's top court judges following the court's overwhelming decision. comments addressed to these judges on the internet, nothing is known about any real threats, but it cannot be ruled out that individual or a small group will decide to act on behalf of the trump team, which called this decision: it will soon be 3 years since trump attempted to change the results of the presidential election of the twentieth year, the culmination of these efforts was the storming of the capitol. the united states is pushing its big sim allies, the g7, to explore various ways to recover russian assets totaling $300 billion stolen by the west, it reports. it is expected that three working groups will study this issue, whose task is includes the study of legal aspects. that is , the thieves are going to study the legal aspects of their theft, try to come up with a supposedly legal

in the first place, it's nice to see that the media finally admits that unelected bureaucrats we wouldignificant amount of power just as they all of a sudden claimed. let's talk about whether that's appropriate. biden supporters want to make sure that those bureaucrats are not chosen by the democrats or any elected official. they want a system whereby the bureaucracy hires its own members and promotions come from withinner with all that power held by unelected bureaucrats is wielded as the bureaucrats themselves want not as the voters want. welcome to the administrative state. now, of course, the press would tell you that bureaucrats are proud civil servants, they are trustworthy because they are chosen by a neutral process and they are supposed to act in accordance with the law but no one not a single person knows anything about how washington works believes that our bureaucracy is neutral. everyone understands that the bureaucracy is just another branch of the democratic party. now, for as long ascii remember, it's always been socially progressive like the democratic. china like the

we are operating right now under congressional lines that were drawn by an out of town, unelected special master who was air dropped into the state of new york by a right-wing extreme judge from steuben county, which, phil, by the way, is closer to cleveland, pittsburgh, and toronto than it is to west chester, long island and new york city. so this was a broken process that was forced upon the voters of new york state. now, because of the court of appeals decisions, we can get back to doing things consistent with the new york state constitution, which will lead to fairer maps in the state of new york. >> it is a position republicans certainly dispute. there is a lot on the line in the state. no question about that that. house democratic leader hakeem jeffries, appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. >> that was a really interesting interview. the question is, what does it mean for jeffries potentially being speak sneer nikki haley a surprise endorsement from new hampshire governor chris sununu. what impact could that on president trump's lead? >> an election worker in

that is what unelected masters.at must stop once we do that, we can control our borders . once we can control our borders. once we do that, we can stop illegal migration. currently, we're in a slightly medieval theological argument about how many angels can dance on the top of a pinhead . and as ever, i want to pinhead. and as ever, i want to hear from you. male gbnews.com but i'm now joined by the thomas aquinas of lawyers for britain and a member of the star chamber. martin how not to tell us about how many angels can dance on the head of a pinhead, but to explain some of the problems, the star chamber sees with this bill? >> well, the main problem in the bill, as you have already mentioned, is that it's actually see it asserts the supremacy of parliament, which is good and it asserts it over international law. but the actual provisions of the bill are extremely narrow. what they do do is they, in effect, reverse the supreme court's judgement , which said court's judgement, which said that rwanda is in general pot

why do we keep relinquishing our precious sovereignty to unelected quasi political jet set bureaucratsical jet set bureaucrats? another tough day for the home office as it's revealed 17,000 illegal migrants have disappeared into thin air without a trace . and yet another without a trace. and yet another setback for the rwanda plan. plus another boost for brexit, britain, our newfound freedoms could be seeing the return of pints of wine and champagne to winston churchill enjoyed and champagne . charlie would be champagne. charlie would be delighted by. tune in tonight at 8:00 . the uk this is gb news radio. >> well , come the uk this is gb news radio. >> well, come back to farage with me. >> camilla tominey. earlier today, three people were killed and 16 others injured after hamas gunmen opened fire on a bus stop in jerusalem off duty soldiers and a civilian at the scene killed the gunman. hamas claimed the pair as its own members and said the attack was a response to israeli crimes in gaza and elsewhere . now hodaya gaza and elsewhere. now hodaya abusada joins me now. she's head of dom

what next will unelected, unaccountable special interests tell senate democrats that we're not allowed to have in the faa bill? let me be clear. short-term extensions are not good for the faa. this extension until march should be the last extension. i am not satisfied with kicking the can down the road. i don't presume to speak on behalf of my partner in this effort, senator cantwell, but i'm certain she doesn't want to continue kicking the can down the road either. i would prefer that we pass a serious multi-year authorization such as the bill senator cantwell and i agreed to in june but unfortunately in the months since that stalled markup, we have not made substantial progress and we still have -- have numerous outstanding provisions. i'm very concerned given the time we have, the limited progress we have and the constantly moving the goalpost in negotiations, we're getting to the point we'll be forced to extend the faa's authority until 2025. i don't want to do that. i don't think chair cantwell wants to do that, either. we need to get this bill done, and i'm still committed to try

now the question is, does it make joe biden unelectable? meantime hunter biden defies a subpoena and refuses to sit for a house position. and instead chooses to make a public statement that may come back to haunt him. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with the legal fallout good evening. >> reporter: epaing trace, after weeks of back and forth and a threat to hold him in con at the present time of congress hunter biden briefly today appeared in the capitol complex making a public statement outside of the building instead of showing up for his scheduled deposition following a subpoena from house republicans who, as you know, are looking into whether the younger biden and his father, the now president, collaborated in any financial dealings, particularly those involving foreign interests. >> in the depths of my addiction, i was extremely irresponsible with my finances. but to suggest that is grounds for an impeachment inquiry is beyond the absurd. it's shameless. let me state as clearly as i can, my father was not fi

unelected state judges without a trial, a hearing or any due process, convicted a former president of a federal crime to thousand miles outside of their jurisdiction and disenfranchised 6 million americans in colorado. the opinion reads like a rachel maddow script. the democratic judges said trump and insurrectionist because he once told a crowd that in the old days of protester would be carried out in a stretcher. they also said, quote, "president trump threatened to deploy the military to minneapolis to shoot looters amid protests over the police killing of george floyd. wanting to stop violence is now a call to violence. the democrats who actually called for violence and participated in violence is fine. if that's the standard maxine waters is an insurrection is. no relation. but it's enough evidence for joe biden. >> mr. president, your reaction to the colorado routing on trump and the ballot? >> i'm not going to comment on it. it's a court case. that's up to the court. that's all i have to say. >> is trump an insurrectionist? >> i think it is self-evident. the 14th amendment appl

career federal employees are not beholden to the voters of this nation, and yet unelected bureaucrats across the federal agencies and in one case in particular, a single low level career employee have been making thousands of rules that impact this country's voters and taxpayers. according to a recent pacific legal foundation study, career employees and unconfirmed officials issued over 70% of the rules at the department of health and human services between 2021 and 2017. these rules have economic impacts on the people of this country. just as the laws we pass in this chamber do. yet we are accountable to the voters who elect us. federal employees are accountable to no one. former president trump addressed this issue with an executive order that required agencies informal notice and comment rules to be initiated and signed by senior appointees with exceptions. the biden administration has revoked that and the result of revoking this order in 2021, congress passed just 143 laws while federal agencies issued 3,257 rules, costing taxpayers $1.927 trillion or the equivalent of $14,684 per

the snp leader dismissed the criticism from an "unelected lord", he said.se scottish offices in uk embassies. the former prime minister, who returned to the cabinet as foreign secretary last month, said in a letter to the scottish government that ministers had failed to provide "sufficient advance notice" of the meeting with mr erdogan at cop28 in the united arab emirates. we are going to take you to a press conference by a group of conservatives called the erg and mark francois. thank you, i am chairman of the erg. i havejust finished chairing thank you, i am chairman of the erg. i have just finished chairing this meeting of these five conservative backbench groups, the european research group, the conservative group, the new conservatives group, the northern research group, and the common—sense group. david jones is my deputy chairman at the erg, he is also one of the four members of star chamber. again, to reiterate, the bottom line conclusion of the chart —— mega star chamber�*s report, this is taken from the report, and that reports is now available fo

that means, yes, unelected judges are not going to decide willy nilly across the state who ends up on a ballot and who doesn't. >> but i will beat him fair and square. we don't need judges to make these decisions, we need voters to make these decisions. >> donald trump's competitors bashing the ruling from the colorado supreme court yesterday that bans trump for now from their primary ballot. >> ron desantis posting on "x" that the u.s. supreme court should reverse the ruling. with us senior political correspondent terry puck. one, this is the most -- you could have predicted these were going to be the responses because nothing lights up the anti, anti trump group of republicans like a legal ruling that they feel like is one-sided. they're all running against him, though. >> it's crazy, right, but, i mean, this is -- i was getting text messages last night from people who are affiliated with these other campaigns, and they're just like, how is this happening before iowa? this is going to turbocharge the base. this is not what we want, we don't want our candidates out there siding with

how do we even allow unelected psychopaths like victorialand, who has always hated the united states,ver our lives and the future of our children. i don't know, sometimes it seems to me that these bureaucrats from depate are the same kids at school who had no friends. apparently, someone once upon a time did ... something very bad to them, and now that they have power in their hands, they are going to start taking revenge on everyone. a couple of weeks ago, victoria was at a secret briefing of all members of congress, and i thought: israel was discussed, and i thought, wait a minute, she 's screwed up so many times, why did you bring her? her resume is terrible, why is she speaking? now before the congress? is she responsible or partially responsible for the deaths of more people around the world than any other american? she is present at a secret briefing, and i'm not saying that she belongs in prison, although there is something to put her in prison for, but she certainly should not appear before congress at a secret briefing, did no one say, wait a minute, there is no one more disc

the first aims to bring accountability to unelected bodies by creating a cap on the number of city commissions cutting the current number of commissions in half. san francisco currently has 130 sadie commissions -- city commissions, twice as many a similar size cities. >> your commissions means you can free up more resource and time to address your most pressing challenges. >> the second measure aims to add power back to the mayor. the group says mayoral authority has been whittled away through the past decade by politically driven measures and commissions not chosen by the voters. >>> it is that time of course celebrating the holiday season and tonight matthew held its community tree lighting -- mountain view held its community tree lighting. also our own robert was there to help light up downtown mountain view. >> very nice, robert gave santa a bro hug. that tree looks great. it is one of those nostalgic stars. looking awesome. as we roll through tomorrow morning we do have fog in the forecast, dense fog even if you are headed towards the central valley on 99, interstate 5 and really covers

why not just say it you think he's a threat because he's unelectable?> i think he's being deluded by others telling him it's the only one who can win, if not him, who? we should be practicing a primary now. that's why we have them. to identify the candidate best positioned to win. that's why i'm saying let's get to may or june and see what the polls say. if they say that president biden is suddenly ahead of donald trump and i'm behind, i'll pack it up, get behind him 100%. conversely, if the polls show i am ahead of donald trump and president biden is behind, i think he should do the same thing. host: that was on nbc last week. we are hearing your comments. greg is a republican in mechanicsburg, pennsylvania. hi. caller: good morning. i'm a long-time viewer, way back at brian lamb time. hopefully he's doing well. i haven't read anything about him recently. host: he is doing well. thanks for asking. caller: no news is good news. i'm happy to hear that. as to my grade for hunter's dad. yes, i call him hunter's dad. hunter is more likely to be running the

anything she's done, she has far more influence than the entire us congress combined, how do we allow unelectedfe and future of our children. i don't know, some of these deep state bureaucrats are like me kids who had no friends in high school, someone did something bad to them a long time ago, and now they have some kind of power. present in a classified briefing, i'm not saying she should be in jail, although there's certainly a case to be made for that view, but she definitely shouldn't have a security clearance, briefing members of congress, did someone say, wait a minute, there's no one else ... did anyone say that? doesn't love your girlfriend? i think i have another girlfriend, no, another one - it’s your secret love, but it’s vicusi you probably know well, no, you were not part of that group of sailors who taught the young woman to use obscenities, the most unforgettable impression of her life, you know her, angry, angry, self-confident, a woman with boorish manners, just like that, we had a conversation with her, apparently the conversation did not go well, on the ukrainian topic, well

the first and to bring accountability to unelected bodies by creating a cap on the number of city tuitions and cutting the current number in half. san francisco currently has twice as many city commissions as similar-sized cities. >> your commissions mean freeing up more city resources and time, so that they can better focus on addressing our most pressing challenges. the hard cap also prevents unnecessary future commission growth and should help reduce politically-motivated measures that we have seen in recent years. >> the second major aims to add power to the office of mayor, and the group says, mayoral authority has been whittled away over the past decade by politically-driven measures the commission has not chosen with voters. >>> overseas now, tensions are rising with fighting escalating in the gaza strip. the u.s. partnership with israel, major ally, and it appears the conflict could spread across the region. the u.s. warship shot down three drones aimed at commercial ships in the red sea. iranian-backed rebels claimed responsibility for some attacks, saying, it was a response to th

in her case, 11 names on this list, three new members of the house of lords, the unelected second chambernd not really household ones either. perhaps the biggest among them is matthew elliott, who set up a think tank called the taxpayers' alliance. and then he became the leader of the vote leave campaign. a significant figure from the european union. some of the other names on their include allies on the conservative benches in the house of commons, who are getting knighthoods and damn hoods. then we have that have been good been names in the house of lords —— dame hoods. it has allowed to do this in the first place, the labour party have said it rishi sunak should have blocked this. that is probably unlikely, rishi sunak making it clear through his people in downing street that he was just simply following convention and all prime ministers have to approve these lists even if they don't necessarily like it. the deputy leader of _ necessarily like it. the deputy leader of the _ necessarily like it. the deputy leader of the lib _ necessarily like it. the deputy leader of the lib dems - nec

trump is a good president and all he did was -- he wants to do all this and they are unelected bureaucratsny of them are democrat leaning. trump was president when he got the so-called classified documents. biden had classified documents and he was not president. guest: well, the reason why donald trump has been indicted is because he took them intentionally. he took tons of the many boxes. he had them when the national archive came to ask for them back. he basically stiffed them and lied to them. he took the documents and had people moving them around and try to get somebody to dismantle and destroy security footage showed him doing that and they subpoenaed him, he lied and only produced some documents and they had to get a search warrant. theey judge found probable cause he committed multiple felonies. there's no evidence mike pence lead classified documents at his home in indianapolis or joe biden engaged in any conduct so instructive or illegal. he may have had some documents and we may find the story about if he convicted, then absolutely he should bee punished. like the color, trump

so it was swept queen ursula vander lion, the unelected european commission president to proclaim the b, you would take care of it, take the whole problem. and those really passed the drowning optics right off italy's hands and well that worked out about as well as one has come to expect from the youth. so over the weekend, maloney's right wing populous party hosted a big fan festival of sorts. yvonne las came over from the us, british prime ministers you soon after. there was a chance for maloney to be a rockstar among rock stars for her fan base. but it's not like she could just walk out and claim victory over the migration issue and all the problem says that she made she's out of fact to her supporters. so instead, what she did is she pulled out some classic rhetoric that actually contradicts the result. but maybe have a chance of masking at your band so that you see a problem. i believe that there is a problem of compatibility between islam and culture. and developers and graceful are as utilization, the dvd funding, cultural centers, and easily assign is a saudi arabia where shar

three new members of the house of lords, the unelected second chamber in british politics.s, i have to say, not really household ones either, perhaps the biggest among them matthew elliott who set up the think tank or the taxpayers alliance, right of centre think tank, and went on to be chief executive of the vote leave campaign, the victorious vote leave campaign during the eu referendum in 2016, so a sniffing at figure in british departure from the european union, some other names on their include allies on the conservative benches in the house of commons who are getting knighthoods and james woods. then we have got places given in the house of lords but it is really not the names that are the controversy here but the fact that liz truss who had such an elevated, frankly catastrophic prime ministership lasting just 49 days that allow that it lasting just 49 days that allow thatitis lasting just 49 days that allow that it is in the first place and the labour party say rishi sunak should have blocked this. that's probably unlikely that rishi sunak making it clear through hi

as many, many i think it's ridiculously partisan ruling, or you have 7 unelected democratic justices in colorado, all appointed by democratic governors in colorado, in a 43 decision and deciding to take uh, president trump off the ballot. and, and this court is really kind of ignored several key factors. one, donald trump has never been charged with, nor convicted of insurrection, the court kind of yours. that's also the 4th is imposing this, despite the fact that there are several hurdles they have to overcome, including the fact that in the 14th amendment to the constitution, which they side, it does not name the president and names, members of congress, members of the senate, other officers, but specifically doesn't mention the president, so they have to overcome that hurdle. but the biggest one is that again, donald trump has not been charged with or convicted of insurrection. and this is a guilty until proven innocent, really by this court. and it will be thrown out, i think, pretty quickly by the us supreme court. the following the ruling, the term campaign spokesperson has sai

chamber because as conservatives, one of the virtues of the house of lords is we say it's unelectedallows it to be independent, allows it to scrutinise in a way that perhaps isn't as partisan as unfortunately , i want to unfortunately, i want to continue this, but i'm getting told i i've got to cut you off. >> i'm so sorry because it's such an interesting conversation. thank you, fadi. with me the solicitor and with me now is the solicitor and legal joshua rosenberg. legal analyst joshua rosenberg. well, honour indeed, well, this is an honour indeed, joshua, you to the joshua, to welcome you to the program , one of the most program, one of the most distinguished commentator authors on these matters in the country . so thank you . where do country. so thank you. where do you think the boundary should be between the democracy parliament legislating and the judiciary ruling . ruling. >> parliament makes the law and the judges interpret it. parliament can overturn an a decision by a court, but of course it's for the laws , is for course it's for the laws, is for the courts to decide to

states supreme court and hope that they overturn this undemocratic and un-american decision by four unelecteds that were appointed by our opposition party. we're going to do everything we can to make sure the right of the voters is protected and donald trump can fairly compete in our state. >> this may head to the supreme court. here's what jonathan turley had to say about that idea. >> the supreme court needs to in my view put this theory to rest with finality and hopefully with unanimity. we'll see. the supreme court takes exit ramps when they are available. if they don't rule before the 5th, this may be mooted out. i'm hoping it will not be. i think there's arguments to be made that this will still not be moot. >> what do you think,day? you think the supreme court takes a pass here and says okay, he's on the ballot in colorado and doesn't rule on the broader issue or do you expect a very firm overreaching ruling from the supreme court? >> it's hard to imagine that they would pass up on this when you see other states like maine do what they're doing. if you don't, you'll see election interf

i think a wrong was made right with the unelected justices said that was not our place to do.enhanced of the people. so that's what's happened and that's the right place for it. some states have gone more pro-life. i welcome that. some states have gone more on the choice act. i wish that wasn't the case with the people decided. so it's always a good thing when the people are deciding. but when it comes to a federal law, which is what is being debated in the presidential, they haven't told you the truth. in order to have a federal law you have to have a majority of the house, 60 senate votes and the signature of a president. we haven't had six republican senators in over 100 years. we might have 45 pro-life senators. so no republican president can ban abortion anymore than a democrat president can get rid of those state laws. so what do we do? is a place for a federal law? i think there is, but the only way is if we have consensus. so can't agree on just banning late-term abortions? can't we agree on encouraging adoptions and good-quality adoption? can't we agree that doctors a

she's not a lawyer, by the way, unelected, chosen by the state legislature. >> todd: that analysis gets at the heart of what the supreme court is going to do. they can make this argument when they write their decision this individual does not have the right to decide for millions upon millionings of people. has donald trump been convicted of insurrection anywhere? the answer is no and i think that is another way it fails whachl say you? >> doug: i have a better one, he's never even been charged. it is amazing to see, his analysis was pretty good there. the supreme court needs to decide this quickly thchl is someone who is democratic elector for the democratic party for maine. interesting part, there were three complaints that led to this hearing she had. two based on insurrection clause and one saying donald trump shouldn't be president because he said he won 2020, that shows how much weight we should put on what is happening. i go back to this. when you are looking at peep and he will how they go about this, they are fearful of donald trump and deraged how they dislike him so much they

series of escalating attacks suggesting that president biden is too old, a threat to democracy and unelectableis despite initially saying he didn't want to demeanor diminish the president during his campaign. isaac devar as new reporting. and you call the campaign chaotic and increasingly negative. i think "the daily beast" labeled it a mid life crisis campaign. what did you learn when you were out on the trail? >> first of all, what phillips is trying to do is beat joe biden in a primary. that is a hard task. but when you see him walking around new hampshire you see a guy who is tapping in to something that is definitely there, a lot of frustration with joe biden, a lot of anxiety about where he is and where he stands in the polls against trump. but there is for phillips a real turn toward this very negative, saying he is too old. i said you got into this campaign saying that you were trying to strengthen biden maybe and he said that is impossible. his weakness predated me. and he's gotten into all sorts of other policy prescriptions far from where he started as a moderate. i said to him what

now he is unelectable in his own state and can back nikki, who has no chance of winning. >> i think we have seen in sort of the trump era of the republican party these endorsements by officials for more establishment candidates hasn't really helped them. if you look at how ron desantis is doing in iowa at least in early polls, the endorsement from that governor there hasn't really helped him. so it's hard to imagine that this governor endorsing nikki haley who i think is down by about 20 points in some of these polls out of new hampshire. i don't know that it's going to help her very much. in terms of her real fight in overtaking trump. >> add to this, remember, this is also about signaling to the rest of the group, hey, it's time to drop out. a lot of this is not just about the voters. it's like if there's a shot, this is a hail mary to say everyone, like, let's start to get behind a person and stop dividing this alternative to trump vote. >> important point, guys. thank you very much. and be sure to tune in tonight for the special cnn town hall with ramaswami at 9:00 p.m. just ahead,

republican and democrats and bureaucrats like he wants to do all viral be civil services they are unelectedeaucrats and 99 percent of them are democrat lane grant ideal ologies pretty did not want will trump was president, 20 so-called god these classified give him is inviting have classified documents and he was not president to point george holly just jump in. >> wealth the reason why donald trump has been indicted classified documents is that the two of them intentionally any talk tons and tons of boxes of the many many boxes and he knew that he had them. when the national archive came to ask the back, he basically stiffed them and lied to them. his lawyers t like them and took the documents and had people move them around and he try to some money to dismantle and destroy - security footage they should him doing that this opinion him and he lied in response to the subpoena only to produce some documents and then, they had to get a search warrant where magistrate judge of the united states magistrate judge found probable cause that he committed multiple felonies pretty there is no evidenc

the nine unelected men and women that sit at the bench in the highest court in the land now have the power to decide an election. let's all reminisce for a second. they did it back in 2000 with bush v gore: now they may have the chance to do it all over again. today trump asked the high court to sit and think for a bit. to answer whether he has absolute immunity. that's the jack smith case. jack smith wanted a quick answer. he would not rather wait to find out if he can make a case against him. but will that person be considered immune from prosecution. apparently trump loves a good wait. why rush into getting into a case against you? pretty ironic. his lawyers say the case is so important, so paramount to public importance, his lawyers say the justice moves, it must move in a cautious, deliberative manner.. not at a breakneck speed. that's the immunity question. and the court also gets to decide now the eligibility question. the one coming out of colorado's supreme court decision to take trump off the primary ballot. the supreme court will have to decide whether trump engaged in ins

we the people select our leadership, not unelected elite class. >> and yesterday, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick suggested taking president biden off the ballot in texas due to his handling of immigration. when asked today whether the 14th amendment applies to trump in this case, biden said he'll let the courts make the ultimate decision but said trump certainly supported and insurrection. we'll keep you posted with this saga. vicki and ken, back to you. alright grants tonight. a federal judge is blocking a new california law. >> that would have made it illegal to carry a gun in most says that the wall, which was to go into effect on january. 1st violates the second amendment. the lob and carrying concealed guns in 26 places, including places like public parks, playgrounds, churches in banks, businesses would still be able to allow guns if they post a sign indicating the guns can be carried there. this is being called a temporary block to the ban. so it could still be enacted after further legal review. governor gavin newsom has responded to the law saying, quote, california will kee

. >> i was just going to say something unelected, definition. i think you bring up the tension in the international system between the printable of sovereignty, noninterference in the country's internal affairs. that is a principle of the u.n. charter. the international community has a responsibility to protect people anywhere in the international community from what is considered to be state power. we see the tension playing at. i would even say it has really come to a head in the wake of the collapse of the soviet union because these issues kept coming up. the responsibility to protect from the human in a case where there was civil strife and an attack on minority groups. it comes up in the realm of human rights. that is at issue between the u.s. and china and europe and the international system. this is an area that is constantly working on china and many other countries. this is the heart of the tension. >> when this notion of systemic rivalry came out of new rhetoric, most of the initial translations in chinese i thought were wrong. i thoug

. >> he's also trying to, you know, position vivek ramaswamy and desantis as just unelectable as, you know, inappropriate and he actually had a moment where he stood up for nikki haley. she didn't need it. but it was an interesting moment. >> do we have that moment? okay, watch this. >> he has insulted nikki haley's basic intelligence. not her positions, her basic intelligence. if you want to disagree on issues that's fine and we disagree on some issues, but i'll tell you this, i've known her for 12 years, longer than he started to vote in a republican primary, and while we disagree about some issues and we disagree about who should be president of the united states what we don't disagree on, she this is smart, accomplished woman. >> here he is going back and forth, basically talking over the other two, but then, you know, he comes out and defending her. i think it was a play for female voters, one of the things we saw with gary tuchman group, the voters who watched, they liked the way she held her own. as the person being attacked that was her opportunity to show i can take it, i'm t
