donald trump in a way that gathers that type of attention. is desantis capable of attracting that kind of attention in this media environment? and not only is that the question, but the problem is if he is capable of doing that, then he undercuts his biggest value to voters, which is that he is going to be a calm, you know a calming presence on the ticket. that s what people, you know, that s the thing people get sort of tired of with donald trump. here s the thing. you know, 2016, the reason donald trump won is because he broke through at a time when people were more frustrated, more fed up with washington than they had ever been in their lives. i would argue that fast forward 8 years to 2024, people are even more frustrated. they are even more out of their wits end with washington and a guy like trump, the environment is even better for a guy like trump today than i would say it was in 2016.
rummaged through melania s underwear drawer and spread out trump s documents all over the persian religious and leak it to the post. biden is keeping documents in chinatown, documents next to his corvette, with his cracked out son opening the garage door, no raids, no leaks, no nothing. i wonder why republicans think the fbi also a it in for them. fbi is still hiding evidence in the biden bribe scandal. the biden family these accusations that have not been presented with evidence but from the oversight committee the accusations they have made. director wray is a person of principle and so i m sure he is trying to ascertain what s the right thing to do consistent with the department of justice policy and tradition. jesse: so the fbi leaks fake documents to smear trump and now they are hiding real documents to help biden. but james comey s really just on tv to sell his book. this is the arrangement. you feed the media lies, they get ratings, and then you come
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
on to sell your fiction book and you get rich. that s the business model. it has nothing do with the truth. and comey s novel is terrible, too. the washington post calling it a flaccid thriller. the media liked his lack work of fiction much better you know the one where trump is taking golden showers from prostitutes in moscow, colluding with putin, hacking hillary servers. now that story sold. marco rubio is 9 vice chair of the senate intel committee and he joins me now. o. senator when you see james comey doing the rounds in the media, selling his novel saying everything is fine at the bureau, we did nothing wrong. how does that make you feel? these guys have done more damage to the fbi, to the cia, our intelligence agencies than any foreign power ever could. and i think you hit exactly on what is happening here. is he pitching a book. this is a revolving door thing. you go et to the end of your government service you realize everyone tells you it s obvious
attacks. i mean, if if you say cuomo did a better job with covid than florida did, first of all, that s not what he used to say this. is like new. like six months ago he would have never said that, right? he used to say how great florida was. hell, his whole family moved to florida under my governorship. are you kidding me? [laughter] so, some of this stuff, i think, is, look, if someone is saying that, i am going i am going to counter punch. i m going to fight back on it. jesse: all these little comebacks, these little back and forth irrelevant. once these two men say to each other faces on the debate stage, that s when it counts. but trump might not even give desantis that opportunity. he is up so much he might just say i don t need to debate rob. now, does that hurt trump in the primary to not debate? i don t know. but i just want to see trump on the stage on fox knocking heads together. there s nothing like it.
