long, iran s look every one of these folks think they can t speak out and they don t speak out. , but it is they re not speaking out, and they re defending of donald trump after each of the indictments, it s the reason why he is gaining in popularity. because the people of the republican base trust are standing up in front of him and saying, not only did donald trump not do anything wrong, he is being attacked by the doj and he was the greatest president ever. so why would you ever expected to pick up anybody else s votes? do you think the fact that trump is not on the debate stage, will they even defend him for that, or will it try to do what ron desantis has done in the last couple of days, which is to say trump is more or less hiding from his competitors here? i have to separate, i believe it is seven people on the debate stage, but you have to separate asa hutchinson and chris christie from the rest. isa hutchinson and chris christie are going to do what is necessary by defendi
to separate asa hutchinson and chris christie from the rest. isa hutchinson and chris christie are going to do what is necessary by defending things like, i don t know, the constitution, by saying things like the truth and speaking that truth to power. whether or not that is enough, they are probably at three or 4%. i m not sure that it s going to catapult them. but, the rest of them are going to do what they have been doing the entire campaign, is not make donald trump that, if you can t stand up to donald trump and somebody who abused the constitution, somebody who has 70 plus felonies and indictments, are you gonna stand up on the world stage leaders who have some kind of towards the united states of america. are you gonna stand up for the american people? that is the argument to make against the rest of them. i don t think that that is
who has been pointing out flaws in the democratic process in the pro democratic party in america, as it stands, is the democratic party. look, would i be happier if chris christie or isa hutchinson won the republican nomination? of course. it would indicate a return to sanity for the party. it would have to be a repudiation of donald trump. look, i think the best fighter once you get in not because you think you can win but because you want to fight. that is how i would look at this if i was one of them. i think they are looking at it like that. i don t think they are unrealistic about the chances. they re gonna get up there, they are gonna tell the truth. that should not be a radical. act in the republican party has become a radical act. it will be interesting to see how that goes down in an actual debate. disappointing that donald trump won t be there to get his reaction. it is the way that it is unfolding. stuart, good to see you, as always. to a senior the visor at the lincoln pr
very much was until he wasn t. at the moment he is not. it is interesting. both of them when they ran for governor where former clients of mine in my firms. i have a lot of respect for them. i think they are showing a roadmap of how to go out and just tell the truth about donald trump. they have different styles. kristie is sort of a street fighter. isa hutchinson is more of a southern gentlemen in his approach. you may not agree with their politics. you may not agree with the policy that doesn t matter, right? you and i agree about that, stewart. i don t care if you and i share a single policy other than the fact that we live in a democracy. everyone gets to vote, everyone s vote gets counted. you and i can disagree on health care, minimum wage, energy policy, who cares? we have to get back to having really deep, in-depth fights over the capital gains tax. not we should have a democracy or not. right now someone for 30 years
getting a firsthand look, talking to survivors and first responders about the need on the island. as you mentioned, more than 1000 people remain unaccounted for. the governor even said up a lot of the missing will never be found. unfortunately, this fire burned so hot. the government estimates it reached up to 2000 degrees. which is hotter than most incinerators. which is very frustrating for families who have been waiting for days to find out word about their loved ones. many children as the governor said are in those numbers. he s going to face a lot of questions. he faced criticism for his public response. we heard from the state that he s been talking to them constantly, immediately gave a lot of aid. he said he d be here for the long haul. as we all know, the presidents been often called bill consoler -in-chief. people thought like that public statement that they were looking for when we were learning the numbers of the
