Karl rove saw this coming long before any other republican.

martha: excited to see the tree show up. good afternoon. i m martha maccallum. right now on the story, this quote from the white house just moments ago, it s not the age, it s the experience. responding just a couple minutes ago to some reports of panic behind the scenes on the president s 81st birthday. a lot of people concerned and getting louder about it as it gathers momentum saying he needs to step aside, that he s too old to be president for another term. so meanwhile, there s numbers to back this up. he s just hit an all-time low in his job approval, this is an nbc poll that just came out. 57% disapproval number for president biden. for the first time in these numbers, he loses to former president trump in a hypothetical matchup. his support slipping while trump s numbers have stayed roughly the same. what is increasing are the number of people that say that they are not sure who they want to vote for. also, since october 7th, a new road block has emerged for this
court s ruling, which did not allow donald trump s motion to survive one full business day, one full business day on the georgia supreme court docket. so donald trump and his criminal defense lawyers and georgia suffered a total wipeout today. but his criminal defense lawyers in florida have higher hopes in federal court tomorrow, because donald trump appointed the judge who was presiding over the federal criminal prosecution of donald trump. for the first time in history, a federal judge is presiding over the criminal case of the person who appointed the federal judge. we should never get used to how outrageous this is. judge aileen mercedes cannon should recuse herself from the case because of the appearance of a conflict of interest, in a federal judge handling the case of the person who appointed the federal judge. it s particular conflict of interest has never come up in the history of the federal
really astonishing decision by the georgia supreme court, which crush donald trump. so emphatically. and what this intersection, because i don t get it either, andrew weissmann is here to, so he can help with this. some section of federal case with the state case, over the same actions, what happens exactly. . what is interesting about the thrill cases that it would involve more than just activity in georgia. and that is really the unusual component of this intersection. so we need a bunch of words to figure this out. yes, timmy, it is fascinating to because the fake or electors part of it specifically is just one part of that big jigsaw. and if fake electors is being looked at by jack smith at the federal level, and was also being looked at by state prosecutors in georgia and state prosecutors in arizona, and state prosecutors in michigan, i mean, i couldn t do that merging with my high beams on on a dry noon day.
former presidents previous petition was still pending with judgment bernie, this court answer to the question for bernie on a couple of things. one, that dna willis, there isn t sufficient evidence to disqualify her. and, similarly, the remedy is not to have a grand jury report dismissed or evidence suppressed whenever it is challenged. so not only is this answering a question that, i think the defense team had, but it is really going so far as to reiterate the standard of law in georgia on these issues. you know, it is fascinating today, to have the 33 pages of very expensive, i am sure, legal pleadings filed by donald trump s lawyers in this thing. expensive for donald trump, that is. and it is filled with all of this excess of language, and as you read through it there s a lot of unnecessary junk in it.
