the a.g.s in kansas that s trying to stop workers from sending pills into post and say this is a losing strategy for us it s going to be really interesting to see when this get to a battle between desantis and trump, trump has said we can t be as draconian on this as some of the activists are being. what does he say if he s up against desantis, who seems to be more in favor of a federal ban on abortion. i don t see how those debate sessions pan out between those two people. it will bring our focus to how extreme the republican party is if this played out in the primary. thank you so much for spending time with us on this story. it s really important. to be continued. shifting gears for us here the at the table. it s hard to believe, but we are nearing five years since the horrific and tragic parkland school shooting. since then, we have frequently turned to our good friend fred gutenberg, whose daughter was killed that day.
they are fighting for air time. they are desperate for that viral moment, something like chris christie s attack on marco rubio that catapults them or damages one of their opponents. gabe, when you have 20 candidates and there s a finite amount of time available, that doesn t give each candidate a great deal of time to try and even create this sort of viral break out moment. any idea of what the campaigns are doing to prepare? yeah, a lot of different things. a lot of them have set up mock debate sessions which is difficult this time because it s hard to get nine people in a row to stand next to the candidate. secretly and not let anyone know about this preparation that s happening behind the scenes. some of them are coming up with pledges they will do on stage that they think can set them apart from others. some will come up with one liners that they think will be memorable. a lot of them are studying tape from the 2016 republican debates
reports we saw around the debates in 2016. you had the debate sessions where the president was not succeeding in keeping focu. you had these people in the president s orbits with different agendas, distracting him and getting them off on a tangents and you have the same people here. and those debates seemed to have worked out fine for the prin that he managed to win the election, but obviously the stakes and terms are different in a deposition rather than in a presidential debate. curt anderson, the chris christie stuff makes some sense. he understands donald trump, he s a real lawyer, was a real prosecutor, that could make some sense. i ve been away for two weeks so i was wondering if the world changed with regard to rudy giuliani, and it has not. rudy giuliani is still running a campaign of confusion around the president.
being with us. josh, let me start with you. once again, if one is to believe this reporting, the president s team are not all on the same side about how this is going to go, and most importantly the client doesn t seem to be on the same page. he seems to be moving down the road of a public relations battle, generally speaking executed on twitter and at rallies. but rudy giuliani wants to say that the president can t be subpoenaed, but most experts i talk to say it s just not that clear. right. given the president s propensity to change his mind, it would be sensible of his legal team and advisers to prepare to fight for a subpoena and the situation where he decides to sit for an interview. that is wise on their part unlike some of the other decisions they made. these reports of the prep sessions remind me of the reports we saw around the debates in 2016. yo had the debate sessions
weapons from syria. obama says it was important for to us work with russia. i guess it didn t work out so well. i guess not. now they see they have a partner in president trump so they let a little slack go. i do approve of this strike. i think you have got to send a message when somebody uses chemical weapons. the problem i have is many americans are concern about the motivation for this. i am not concerned. but the president has to get this under control. and he has to stop tweet being things about him not being president. just worry about his job and everything else will work itself out if he s innocent like he says he is. you know i look forward to these debate sessions. but please tell me you are not insinuating remotely that president trump drooped series
