it s all, should we, should we not? trump should be allowed back on, but who isn t allowed back on the platform? alex jones. again, there is a line, but what that line means or what that states it s just very unclear. we are at the whim of elon musk. right, like alex jones is the bar? a guy who spread lies and misinformation about children that were killed in a mass shooting in connecticut? that s the bar? think about what that s actually going to look like in the future. i guess that s the one. you know who else spreads a lot of misinformation and lies that inside a lot of violence? donald trump. donald trump. exactly. and the guard rare will definitely, it seems, be off, if, in fact, he is reinstated or when he is reinstated. with your predictions there in mind. brandy zadrozny, thank you for much for joining us on this. i always appreciate. it that s going to do it for me today. please join me later on.
trump s bid for the white house on 2024. this is a guy who stood by him. we know where he stands when it comes to donald trump. but it is obvious right now he is trying to vie for the votes to become the next leader of the house, between the right and left wing of his party, the center and right wing of his party. where do you make of where he stands right now? right now, kevin mccarthy has amounting the problems. he has to win 218 votes on the house floor on january 3rd to become speaker, and we are still figuring out the exact final math of the house, or you can only afford to lose a handful of votes at most. right now, there s three or four house republicans who openly declared they won t support him for speaker. so, the question for mccarthy is, it s this going to be in? is that going to be all the republicans who say they won t support him, or is he going to have to try to find a way to bring these people over to his side? what sort of concession to see
the way to, see his former vice president saying they parted amicably, considering the fact you had jen six insurrectionists saying hang mike pence on the very day, and he still stands by the idea that they parted amicably. that is not the sincerely theme amicable, but they don t look like the definition. we ll get back to. do nevertheless, this is as far as his former vice president is going to go as far as announcing the former president. some republicans have gone further. some republicans have gone less. that being said, do you feel as if, susan, it is naive of us to think with all republican party is going to abandon donald trump, especially if it means in six months or so, they say, he s our guy, right? could we see folks doubling back? yasmin, brakes are funny things. i think what we re going to see is, will they kind of gets back together like republican elected officials have in the past, and you say to abandon donald trump, does it matter?
you have a sense of timing? sooner than merrick garland was going to do it, and i know that s not saying much, but with the special prosecutor in the mix, i would expect that we will see something sooner than later, in terms of charges against donald trump. it s impossible to predict, because we don t know the status of where those investigations were, and how much more needs to be completed in order for him to feel confident, but i do, think again, it will be what we have seen before. charles, you are a smart man. we all know that, obviously. that is a very easy, safe guess, i would say when you are saying sooner rather than later, but i ll put that on the record. charles coleman junior for us, great to talk to you this morning. appreciate you joining us. ahead, everybody, a state of emergency still in effect for parts of buffalo and across western new york as well, after a deadly snow storm slams the area. we re going to go live to buffalo later on in the show, but up, first yo
trump space? how big is that base, really, at this point going forward? will they just follow suit if, in fact, it is decided that donald trump is not necessarily going to be the nominee, and money and supports will be put behind someone else like a ron desantis type of person? well, yasmin, it s clear that the establishment, the donor class, a lot of the politicians in the republican party are ready to move on from donald trump. it s also pretty clear that the general public is kind of tired of him. this whole act has become predictable and old. it s no longer interesting, like maybe it was for people some years ago. but the big question is, this base that donald trump does still have, i d say, about 25% of people in the united states, are they willing to follow someone else? and, if donald trump decides that he s not going to get the domination, he is going to try to destroy whoever does, which, by the way, it s something we can expect from donald trump,
