they prove it to be false, if so, how did they prove it to be false. i don t trust the system anymore. but he will not tell me, weiss will not tell me what he did with that allegation. i know he was briefed about it. i know others in the department of justice did not consider it russian disinformation. i m not going to stop until i get an answer of what did they find. sandra: and this weiss litter that was sent to you, senator, says your questions about the allegations contained in an fbi fd-1023 form relate to an ongoing investigation. as such i cannot comment on them at this time. why not? that will not stand. there are a couple scenarios. if they are actually investigating that activity as potential crime i ll back off. but if all they are going to charge hunter biden with is tax evasion and having a gun illegally, then the question becomes did you take seriously
they ve fallen, and they can t get up. ben, what s next for cpac? is there a sense here that schlapp, his hold on power is in jeopardy? i mean, as you say, it s mostly run by his friends. the cpac conference this year was diminished, smaller, despite trump s return. it was smaller and seemed to matter less than years before. how do you see this playing out years going forward? there s a couple scenarios. one case, that this continues as is and cpac continues to diminish. as you pointed out, it was much more of a trump show. traditionally, cpac is all-encompassing of the movement. it was a narrower slice of people. people used to be physically banned from the conference and are now speakers on the main stage. the other scenario is whether schlapp steps down voluntarily. it is unlikely, from my understanding, the board is going to involuntarily deal with this. cpac still has lingering
2016? because the math is important here. you re the nerd, i m the nerd, let s get nerdy. most states divide the delegates that they have to the national convention with, like, three delegates per congressional district in their state. and most states have a 15% threshold, in other words, in order to be, to get a shot at getting a delegate, you have to get over 15% threshold. let s take a couple scenarios. say somebody gets 45%, somebody gets 15, somebody gets 14, everybody else gets less, the delegates would be split between the first two 2 to 1. on the other hand, let s assume somebody gets, like, 30-35% of the vote and nobody else gets more than 14%, that is to say nobody breaks the threshold, then this person would get three delegates. this is how what happened in south carolina where in the south carolina primary, though donald trump did not get more than 15% of the vote, he nonetheless got all 50 delegates from south carolina because he beat the threshold and nobody
in that garage right there? from a military perspective, if you take one clasified document and handle it improperly, you could be court marshalled for that, worse for guys that took pictures inside a submarine that were benign, go to jail. ainsley: good point. he is commander-in-chief or was vice president and in a box in the garage and your think tank gets money from china? ainsley: discovered a third something or other, one page they said that was discovered among stored materials in an adjacent room. mud room like the tool room? couple scenarios, best scenario for the president, someone else packed it up and i can show you. number two, these are arbitrary notes that don t have revealing facts, just topics that are important. or other things. you start looking and say why would you keep this piece of paperwork, why keep this page? there if there is a reason he
to go on the offensive about abortion. the only issues that cut in their favor. the problem is, if they want to talk what about the issues top of minds with voters right now, they have to figure out something to say and they re on defense. there s no way off of it. these are the policies that have given us the inflation and the other problems that we re having, crime, border mess and all of that. i don t see how they get on the offensive on those issues. martha: you wonder seems like encincumbents wait till af the mid-terms. okay. we have a message. do you see joe biden changing? i see a couple scenarios. if they lose the house, but it s not a complete blow-out, not a messive wave and manage to hold on to the senate or lose it narrowly, the president may decide we came close. we debt better than expected. no need to make a big change and
