not excited about that, but that is only the similarity that me and the other guy. half david plouffe, palmieri, they can both. that is all for all in tonight. good evening, alex, where are you? did you say, where am i? yeah, you re not here. it s not the dark cone of last night. lastyou know what it, is it s dp kornacki and the big board. all the board is there. i m here, come visit. i m isa. all right. thank, you my friend. and thank you to you at home for joining me this hour. donald trump handling winning the iowa caucus last night, was not that much of a surprise. but this, this was. i don t know if you know, but they did polls tonight on the election of 2020, do you believe that it was on us or not, 80% 82% said it was not. now, before we go on further here, i should clarify that much like the size of his inauguration crowd or is square footage in his new york city apartment, donald trump is inflating the numbers again. the real number is 66%. nbc
man. today after being called a gutless paid, bill barr went on cbs with a damning assessment of his former boss. saying trump s look at a fight nine-year-old. that trump is all but a victim. that the indictment against him is not government overreach. do you believe he lied to the justice department? and personally, do i believe. it yes. the legal theory by which he gets to have battle plans, and sensitive national security information as his personal papers is absurd. it s just as wacky as the legal doctrine that came up with for having the vice president unilaterally determine who won the election. obviously, these documents are really private. it s obvious. it s obvious. and yet, whatever obviously maybe it will put our court system to the test in the months to come. for numerous reasons. it s classified documents case highlights the danger of partisan judicial appointments. a judge, trump appointed, helped him delay the doj s investigation now oversees this trial.
this country to a great american comeback. bill: closing argument. florida governor ron desantis in fox town hall in des moines vying for a strong finish on monday. the make or break caucus is five days away. trump is on tonight at 9:00 eastern. wave big two hours. i m bill hemmer. dana: i feel like the audience is great. moderators are very good and candidates themselves high energy and lots of interest in this. governor desantis discounted polls that show him losing to former president trump. he also cautioned against nominating trump for a third time saying he thinks the president has too much baggage. donald trump is the nominee if election is going to be about legal issues, a referendum on a lot of these issues that are not going to put us in a position to hold biden accountable. either way, it lets the democrats off the hook. i think this election needs to be a referendum on their failed policies and we need to offer a positive vision to turn this country around.
