it is not cold water, but it is warm and warmer and warmer by every minute, but i will be drinking it, and be hydrated. back to you. all right. danny, we will let you get back inside and cool off. john, you said it is a scorcher, because you from massachusetts, and i have philadelphia saying it is hot. oh, i have a t-shirt that says that. oh, you made my day. tonight, the republican candidates will be on the stage as the first time, and donald trump is going to be on the same stage as ron desantis for the first time. this is coming as the new indictment charges are filed. and where and how the other candidates may be breaking through. with more agility.
recognized month of celebration. now this is a central part of his republican push for the presidency. remember we re now at a point where it s several months away from any of the earliest votes being cast. but mr. desantis has consistently trailed president trump, even as donald trump faces federal indictment charges. he s doing everything he can to break through, to try to close the gap, in a largely come together primary field. he s doing that by running the the right of former president trump, leaning in to some of the culture war issues and specifically anti lgbtq issues. don t forget this is the governor who signed the so-called don t say gay law into action. in florida he signed a bill targeting drag shows in florida. he had to have a federal judge step in to block portions of his ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
candidates, you re digging further in because you think this is just the biggest and deepest example of the federal government targeting donald trump. and anthony, both of you weigh in here. it s not though. i m just doing the political fallout. to your point, that s the insurance. you see, ultimately those people again, i was with mr. trump, president trump, on 71 campaign stops. those people are disenfranchised. those people feel left out of the system. we turn blue collar people who were once economically aspirational. what i m trying to envision is the first one or two debates. donald trump is not there. let s say he s not at the debates. how do these other candidates your guy aside if he does make it to the e did bait stage. are they going to say, nothing to see here. nothing to pay attention. i think this is why the indictment charges being so specific and so democratic are important because it s giving people space to say, okay, even
presidential pond 71 campaign stops, those people are disenfranchised, those people feel left out of the system, we turned blue collar people who were once economically aspirational, the home i grew up in, into economic desperation, he is the appetite for the anger, he can do anything. what i m trying to envision is the first one or two debates, he is not there, let s say he s not there, how do these other candidates, again your guy aside if he does make it to the debate stage, are they just going to little questions about donald trump say nothing to see here, we re not paying attention? i think that s why the indictment charges being so specific and dramatic are actually really important because it has given people space to say even though this is a federal government you saw nikki haley, ron desantis i would ve been court marshaled if i handle documents like this, but this is a an fitness and they will try to use the substance of the case at the same time walking a pretty thin
crime and joe biden. we get credible information to the fbi that there was money passed to him from burisma. and he is allowed to say that s malarkey, no one seems to follow up. so, i think, you know, the journalist position is it was a mistake to indict. the indictment charges are serious. and we re not trump has some arguments but he will probably lose some of them. you can have that opinion at the same time. i think the country is really harmed by what s happened over the last week. i speak with the former president on monday i have an hour with him at bedminster if you have a question connect with me on social media at bret baier on twitter at bret baier on instagram. address on facebook. i will use some social media questions. an hour is a long time. and we will have a lot to talk about. i want to turn now to president
