hammer vivek ramaswamy, defend trump from chris christie. one of them is tried and true, attack biden in the media, and i get that. the notion that you would go after someone who would be an afterthought in the race. he might be the next prime time host and to jonathan s point, he s actually doing interesting stuff, not to do. he s the one candidate that s not like the others, and it is but fundamentally then the challenge becomes if you actually want to take out the king, you have to take out the king. right. so this will be the opportunity for ron desantis and for anyone else to sit in that chair to do that. what s interesting, for ron desantis, if i think if he weren t such a bad candidate, what he was breaking on there could have been a good thing. he could have said, i m
chief author of the stock act and not trading on congressional knowledge. my colleagues hated it because they said i was poor and i was a school teacher, and it was not about that. it was about restoring faith in the system and not supporting me or not believing that we were getting over on something. so, yeah, i think that s probably and i think that s a great question, chuck, because it doesn t get at the tit for tat. when you talk about donald trump they talk about hunter biden. one s running for president and not on the ballot. we had the congressional ethics office that sets up. i just think that donald trump violated where you disengage yourself from all financial interests, that didn t happen, and then putting his family in the white house, totally opposet to it. i agree with you, something should happen there. governor tim walz, a former member of congress, appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective. thanks, chuck. when we come back, former
there will be segment after segment this morning and all of the pundits will be lined up, and i m not running for pundit. i m running for president. let me ask you this. do you think you should be adding your voice to defending citizens who essentially are part of the law enforcement community, whether it s a threat against a federal judge that we heard from a woman in texas or the doxxing of members of the georgia grand jury, this is stuff that is trying to essentially shake the foundations of our legal system. do you think you should be adding your name to denouncing those efforts? well, we re adding our name to the very small list of people in our giant country of people running for president because one thing i know is that if we re going to move back and move away from name calling and threats, that s not leadership. leadership is about solving problems. leadership is about character and integrity. leadership is about bringing out the best of people, and it s about respect for
the out, this stuff has taken a huge toll on him. biden, right before the 2020 election he was right side up which in our polarized politics is quite astonishing. trump and giuliani began to tarnish biden and turn him into the clinton name with the obsession over the ukraine businesses with hunter, and it s worked. his numbers look more like hillary clinton in 16 than biden 20. kimberly, maybe abortion is the difference there, that that will bail him out, but that doesn t look good for him. it won t bail him out on its own. to the point about focusing on the economy, yes, the economy is important. the two biggest issues is democracy, and the offshoot of that is the abortion issue. that s something that should be front and center of the message. yes, you have to talk about the economy and through that he can tout the achievement and boost that incumbency value, but he seems to be campaigning in a bygone era that he feels more comfortable in, that he wishes the world were. we have th
justice department would act in a politicized way. and here they worked. attorney general garland and joe biden, did not make this call. the person who made this call was a politically independent prosecutor jack smith. telling, you hear donald trump to attack biden for this, for this indictment, biden had literally zero to do with it. he may as well attack rishi sunak the prime minister britain. there is no relationship between biden, and this prosecution. that is why the special counsel regulations were put into place. right now, they seem to be working well and it is just republicans who want to disregard the truth, and try to bury it, and pretend this is joe biden who s trying to control this prosecution. nothing could be further from the truth. ryan let s talk about these two separate justice systems. the air national guardsmen, accused of leaking classified documents online has been indicted. today, where is he? not at mar-a-lago, not a
