i believe it s a choice. a leader does not use polls to tell them what to do. if hunter were a republican, he would have been in jail long ago. our great american comeback starts by sending joe biden back to his basement in delaware. [cheers] jesse: now, if you want any kind of national traction you can t be boring. and have you got to feed juicy soundbites to the media machine. no one is be at that than donald trump. desantis is creating friction with the establishment. toy sized muse laney ron desantis manifesto vowing to destroy leftism and wokeism. not even trump is dumb enough to go after the most popular entertainment provider. i thought desantis was supposed be the non-fascist alternative to trump. i guess not. he is trying to be a carbon copy of donald trump in that his campaign and his candidacy is based on grievance politics, divisiveness, and extreme policies. i say this with conviction. i think ron desantis is far more dangerous than donald trump. je
side of the screen, a motorcade escort of the indicted twice impeached ex-president donald trump. he is on route from his airport which landed at laguardia to manhattan to his apartment in trump tower. he will reportedly stay the night there ahead of his history making arrangement in the alleged hush money scheme. tomorrow there are a lot of open questions, a lot of vital considerations being made. even at this late hour first, security. as you might well imagine, the nypd is well aware of the possibility, the potential for violence tomorrow somewhere. as trump has previously called on his supporters to protest in a statement to nbc news, the nypd reveals this, quote, officers have been placed on alert and the department remains ready to respond as needed they add this, quote, there are no current credible threats to new york city. ahead of the big day tomorrow, we re on the lookout for any specifics related to the actual charges that trump now faces sources telling nbc news
guy like trump. it s a zero idea of whether this moves the needle at all for chris. kristie i probably guess. no but chris christie went wide for the conduct. we skip the whole discussion with a lot of republicans. saying, i don t think it criminally, think it s a witch hunt. and whatever it is and how about what we actually know that donald trump has done, not proven by court of law. the stuff that he s done in plain view, that he has done on twitter. that he has said to people. all of the things that we already. no let alone whether or not he is a criminal. that seems to be escaping a lot of trump support. and members of congress, by the way we ll look i think that i m happy that christine made the argument on the merits. i think it s kind of the weakness of this electability argument and republican voters don t believe political experts when they say donald trump is unelectable because they already went against that device, one, time and were proven it s been three times since
we haven t seen you on the campaign trail yet. you haven t? not an official campaign rally. why not? [shouting questions] jesse: you know, for the people who wouldn t shut up about democracy for the last two years, is this what democracy looks like? biden s department of justice is going to indict trump. well, they haven t really figured out what the crimes are going to be yet. kind of like if joe biden goes to a steakhouse. either going to get the fillet, sirloin or porter house but he is definitely getting steak. if you don t have a debate you don t have a democracy. but if you arrest your opponent, you don t have a country. now the media used to pull its hair out when trump s audience would chant lock her up. but biden is actually going to lock trump up. this is going to be the most ridiculous election since, well, the last election. dana perino is my co-host on the five and she joins me now.
nominate trump, then the election is just going to be all about trump instead of what it should be about, biden s failures. but honestly biden is going to hibernate no matter hot republican nominee is. and then ron showed a little leg. he doesn t really want to get in the mud with trump. and he politely challenged trump not to get into the mud with him either. and focus their fireplace on joe. i m going to focus my fire on biden. and i think he should do the same. he gives biden a free pass. i m focusing on biden. that s my focus. jesse: so desantis is trying to take the high road with trump. [laughter] i have a feeling that s not going to work out. these two are probably going to have to smack the stitches off of each other if they want to get showered with confetti at the convention. now, trump tried to take desantis strength covid and turn it into a weakness. claiming cuomo handled covid better than ron did in florida. i m going to respond to
