concerned about that as we are. so i think they will set this straight. there ve only been two times in trump s political career where that dynamic of republican unanimity was broken. where trump was near political death. one was in the aftermath of january 6, the violent assault on the capital that he stirred up. when everyone was criticizing him. when the blood was still on the floor of the capital, including lindsey graham and kevin mccarthy, remember that? trump s approval rating drop below 40%, the lowest level in his reach. mitch mcconnell was testing the waters for a vote for an impeachment conviction. if it had not been for that man, mitch mcconnell s abject, enduringly pathetic cowardice, and mccarthy s relentless quest to have the third shortest speakership in history, not to mention the legitimate fear that republican senators had for their families about violence, we would not have this issue now. they could ve just voted to convict him and bar him from future office. don
two days demanding better pay and increased staffing, putting on displays like this ashley: okay. california governor gavin newsom has been silent on the dispute, not responding to inquiries from fox news. they are expected to return to work tomorrow with or without a deal. todd: ratings on the decline for biden and harris, 36% of voters approve of harris and biden s approval rating drop to 41%. even scranton is having questions. i think he is supposed to run again, right? is there a president that didn t go for a second run? who else is there? we need someone fresh.

lanny davis speaking for michael cohen. certainly michael avenatti. he wants somebody out there to muddy the waters. we ve seen mueller s approval rating drop. giuliani has been effective there. but this one around people close to the president just wonder what he was doing and it s raised concerns again whether giuliani is too often out ahead of his skis and is causing more trouble than he s helping. counselor, as the former fed here at the table, how do the feds view the day that rudy giuliani had and all that he said on television? so, brian, i think as a prosecutor, i m seeing this and what i m seeing is a little bit of panic from the president and from rudy giuliani and i ve seen it before. when a defendant and a defense team starts to feel the facts and the evidence closing in on them and they re feeling like there s nowhere else to go, you see this change in tone that jonathan referenced. and what s been happening over the last two weeks? we re learning more and more every d
