mar-a-lago even after the president s team said they had returned all the documents. are you learning anything more about who that source was, nah human source, as you ve reported? well, we do know at this point, erin, it is someone inside the trump camp and it is somebody probably on trump s legal team. so this human source or multiple human sources were developed in the course of the granted jury investigation and in the course of the fbi s investigation. it wasn t somebody, i don t think, who necessarily has been regularly informing upon trump. i think it s somebody who was developed in the course of the investigation. which obviously is very significant. dana, they re saying it could possibly be someone on the legal team. we don t know who that is. the legal team is the one signing the letter saying we ve returned everything you ve asked for which, of course, was false.
biden and not trump, it s good for the republicans. the news cycle right now is very much pro democrat. david, what about this? trump right now is looking at this and all his legal issues, and it seems to be just a matter of when. not if, but when. those are his very words. how does that impact this, if he jumps in before the november elections? the people that agree with chris ian analysis just now are the people running the republican campaign. they think if trump is front and center and he announces pre midterm election day, that s not good for them. that that takes the attention and focus off the economy, inflation, biden. then becomes a referendum on trump. exactly. trump will suck up all the oxygen. let s be clear, that will also motivate the trump base which could help but it will undoubtedly motivate the left as well. thanks very much to all on this election night. next, the shocking number of just how much it would have cost
i think she s been quite clear all along, to do everything in her power to keep him from returning the the oval office. if that means being a spoiler, if that means helping to channel that money into some super pac. when she loses the platform of the january 6th committee, that s going to be a loss. she ll likely, i imagine, probably get a big book deal. maybe she ll be on a cable news channel speaking about issues that the country faces. listen, she has been a fascinating political figure, one of the most fascinating over the last 10 or 20 years. certainly in the trump era she s used her timewisely in congress. one thing i don t think she would do is run an independent candidacy. if her goal is to stop donald trump from being becoming president in 2024, you run an independent race, you end up splitting the anti-trump vote. she takes it away from biden or whoever the democrat is. that wouldn t fit her goal. david, when you thyou look at
beginning. transcying to seize that mom there was the so-called chips, the semiconductor bill that passed. all this is ahead of the midterms. nia, before biden got this bill through, this is the modified build back better that they call the inflation reduction act, though economists beg to differ on that, certainly in the short term. a cnn poll showed 75% of democratic voters wanted someone else to be their nominee in 2024. 75%, that s terrible if you re the potential nominee. does this bill impact his promise in his own party? i think it does. two separate issues. one being 2022, one being 2024. the through line being how democrats feel about him. one of the reasons his approval ratings are below where trump s were back in the day, where obama s were back in the day is because democrats don t support him at the same rate. i think 70, 80%.
democrats are like what s the point of the biden presidency if they can t actually get anything done. they did deliver on key issues that democrats care about, around climate change, young voters particularly care about that. health care, veterans, and the gun safety bill. these are real deliverables. they won t necessarily be felt immediately by americans, but i think democrats who are so down in the dumps a month ago in terms of prospects in 2022 and down on biden generally, they see now a president and a party that s able to get something done. chris, the republicans counted this as a sure thing. how many times do you hear threats coming from the likes of jim jordan about when they re in charge of committees what they re going to do. does any of this change the midterms? republicans thinking they had a sure thing? i think it helps on the margins. i don t think a lot. i don t think real people sit there and go joe biden signed four bills and that s very good. it s how they experi
