point. and, if donald made it clear last week that is perfectly comfortable digging up dirt, well, he might already have their. god knows what else was in those documents he stole from the united states government. but that he has information about ron desantis that could prove problematic for a potential candidate ron desantis. so, i think the bottom line, though, is that whether donald runs or not, if he s challenged in a primary, or if he feels disrespected, he ll do whatever he can to tear the entire republican party down anyway. yes. definitely. he has no loyalty to the gop or anyone else. one last question for you, may. donald trump has been lashing out at mitch mcconnell and mcconnell s wife, elaine chao. he s been wet lashing out at virginia governor and racist terms. he s going after elaine chao s name, he s going after youngkin s name, which he thinks sounds chinese. i feel that we ve become numb to trump s casual, yet relentless racism. it s not even news these days, let
it again. most infamous example as trump lawyer rudy gianna skimming, directed by the president, using foreign policy and the state department in coordination with his private attorney to repeal the attempt to blackmail the president of ukraine zelenskyy into digging up dirt on his political rival joe biden. trump got caught and he was gratefully impeached for. it he tried to cheat and he got caught. now this wasn t the first time. this russian effort to interfere in our elections didn t deter donald trump. it empowered him. the day after special counsel bob mueller testified before congress about russia s sweeping and systemic effort to influence the outcome of our last election, the day after president trump believed that the investigation into his first electoral misconduct had come to an end, the president was back on the phone urging
let s bring in the hill, media, and politics columnist joe concha also a fox news contributor first questions, joe are you surprised? not terribly surprised. i was on with bill and dana on america newsroom earlier in the week and i had said that his days were numbered based on conversations that i had with some fairly prom innocent on air people at that particular network. and sure enough, here we are. three things got the best of chris cuomo jon in a complete lack of a moral compass apparently is a thing in that family. quite frankly this action fallen months ago when it was very apparent what was happening here. this was an anchor who served as a quarterback of research by digging up dirt on credible accusers of sexual harassment against his then brother governor. he also lied on air you just played clip about extended role he was playing in that regard this is someone also faked his own quarantine in 2020 even at a police report filed against him so anyone really surprised he
it s just never the place where they want to go where it s hyperpolitical because they end up being attacked in the process, right? then merrick garland will suddenly be the subject of attack ads and it will be about him. while digging up dirt about him, this is not a fun place to be in, but clearly is necessary when you have people who, frankly, don t care about the law. so what do you do when you need testimony to tell the first story and they don t want to comply. it seems now they re starting to take it more seriously and it was a big step by congress to hold bannon in contempt which is what they had to do essentially and now it s up to the doj. there s nothing more that congress can do and holding someone in contempt is a dishonor, right? most people feel like it would abe dishonor, but for someone like bannon who has a podcast
needed to defend his country in exchange for digging up dirt on joe biden. yep, that is correct. there is a foreign country involved in this. people sometimes got caught sbup this idea that this is aide for ukraine. this was not about aide for ukraine, he was seeking to tip the scales in his favor. he was looking to up end our very foundation of our democracy, which is free and fair elections, and that s why i had such a visceral reaction. i would not let him attack the united states. i swore an oath to defend the country, and i was not going to let a corrupt president game the system. what about the phone call to
