acutety is not as it once was. that s an evaluation that each member makes. now, having spoken to a lot of people who either now dianne feinstein, or have worked for her in this city, or who are represented by her, they say that this is more than about more than age. this is actually about more than dianne feinstein s legacy, and this is a city that is admired her, and really, truly cares about that legacy, erin. they re really concerned about the business of the senate and the representation of this state of 39 million people. erin. all right, thank you. a lot to think about. interesting arguments there. next, ron desantis about to formerly jump into the presidential race. one of the donors on that call will be out front with me next. and. i have you beat. the drama, succession now
for a $1 billion office outside of orlando. that would have bought thousands of jobs for florida. out front now, dan ebber heart, long time republican donor supporting desantis and was on a call with desantis and supporters today. i m glad to see you, i know you were on that call with the governor getting ready to jump into the race. the only two people with the chance of actually winning the white house are himself and joe biden. sounds like he was very clear about his message? well, yeah, i don t want to go too far into an internal call, erin. that s clear this is a two-person race for the republican primary. and look, donald trump had a chance in 2020 and lost. and the data clearly shows if he gets the nomination for 2024 he will lose to joe biden. ron desantis is a proven winner, he s never lost an election. and i think the contrast with joe biden, you know, the poles show that ron desantis will defeat joe biden
thing now is to clear my field, he said. so that i can plant the next harvest. if farmers like alexander can t do their jobs. the world could see another year of soaring global food prices. now erin. we saw global food prices soar last year, in part because russia blockaded ukrainian ports. they couldn t get their grain out to markets. and the concern now is that farmers like alexander they just can t plant their fields because of the land mines. the u. s government. the state department has committed $91 million to the ukrainian government to double the number of de miners out there clearing fields. but this is a huge job. we re talking about an estimated area that s the size of virginia mary island and connecticut combined, and it s going to take a long time. consider this. to this day. in western europe, farmers are discovering unexploded artillery shells left over from world war
legion? oh, wow, well, if you have no military background, if you don t have any combat experience, if you expect to come here with air support, intense helicopter support, then stay home because that is not the case. it is the russian army. and they have massive amounts of artillery. they have massive amounts of armor and the ukrainians are giving it their damnest. did you make the right call? i think, yes. for those captured by russia, that answer may no longer be quite so positive. now erin, a third american has been confirmed as being missing. he was missing since april. his whereabout s is unknown. there have been no photos of him posted or indeed reports of whether or not he s still alive. thank you very much, sam. i want to go now to bonnie drueke.
something out of a george orwell book, a fivictory for attorney laticia james whether trump misled insurers on statements, a contentious hearing and didn t go trump s way. that s right, hour s long contentious hearing today and this fiery opinion this afternoon from a judge who ruled the state attorney general has a clear right to interview the principles of a business she has been investigating after she finds, quote, copious evidence of potential crimes. now erin, trump s lawyers tried to argue this investigation was politically motivated. they had pointed to statements that the new york attorney general made when campaigning for the job, but the judge rejected that. he said, first of all, trump is no stranger to the new york attorney general s office, he noted that trump had to enter into substantial sentiments following investigations into his foundation and university. he also said the attorney general has the same first amendment right that donald trump had on the campaign trai
