democracy. couldn t read the word. yesterday he tried to play tough guy. i m a threat to democracy. he s a threat to democracy because he s incompetent. so trump has descended to i know you are but what am i? maybe we can expand on this further. it seems to me when trump talks about the january 6th stuff, and he tries to pull the wool over people s eyes, he s really just talking to his narrow base. he s not expanding his electorate. he s not expanding the base of voters that he needs to win in november. whereas the president, when he talks about trump being a threat to democracy, that was a successful message in 2020 with indiana-swinging voters. it was successful in the mid-terms and almostal message that works better for biden they re for trump.
delaware, lucas, whenever i can, a good student of history and right now the back and forth, not only with the border, but the january 6th stuff, but more on the border stuff, lucas, what intrigues me is the push by republicans to go after the homeland secretary mayorkas and move to impeach him. that s a tough juggling act for the president. what s going on? that s right, neil, cabinet official hasn t been impeached in it country in nearly 150 years. now, president biden spent the bulk of his address outside of valley forge focused on donald trump mentioning the former president 44 times. absent from the address any mention of the president s record and critics say that includes the crisis, what they re calling a crisis on the southern border something that the president biden s dhs chief refused to utter in a recent interview with our own bret baier. but you do think it s a crisis now? bret, it is a challenge.
a case where i didn t have a discovery order and protective order. by the way, i never had an issue with it. the folks on the other side abided by it, and it streamlined the process. that s the key, mr. trump s attorneys don t want to help streamline the process. they want to argue against everything and anything. why not start with the protective order? all the government is seeking here is the knowledge that if they turn other stuff, which they must, to the defense as part of discovery, that that information, right, the processes and people that underlie that information will be protected as the case builds to trial. why do you want to protect that stuff? well, some of it is sensitive. some witnesses told the truth, some didn t. there is personally identifiable information in the discovery provided to the defense. you want to protect that, too. this is not a hard call. if you look at it through the prism of what the defense attorneys are trying to do, all
met with volodymyr zelenskyy. g i m soupsupposed to call you. i spoke with vivek early on. seems like a smart guy. maybe i ll have him on the show, but his statements keep getting more bizarre by the day. he talks about defunding the fbi. he says stupid stuff like this. you know, it s more, i think, a reflection on him, of course, but it s also a reflection on just how crazy these republican candidates think they have to be to win the votes of the base. what is going on out there? he s having to say this. by the way, for the record, this is a guy that i don t think voted republican until 2020, and he wrote in his book that donald trump behaved abhorrently after january the 6th.
that s all changed in a couple of years. well, good morning, joe and mika. good to see ya. look, i don t take the stuff that he says seriously. you know, the fact is, this is a very, very ambitious guy who is basically playing the role, so far in this race, as donald trump s wingman. you know, that s his call. i don t think governor, isn t he hearing that from the audience? you and i both know, we ve seen politicians. instead of telling people what they need to hear, they re a mirror of the audience. he s hearing it, right? certainly from some elements of the party, but i don t think it is a majority of the party. it has not been my experience. i m heading to new hampshire later today. i could tell you the last time i was up there a couple weeks ago, we heard a lot of support, two-thirds of the audience that i had was very supportive of my position on ukraine, which is
