and in the streets. we will fight the woke in the halls of congress. we shall fight in the hills. we shall never surrender. we will never ever surrender to the woke mob. so sad. a little historical perspective on wars. there are wars. a little hysterical perspective on this. you know, there was a great profile piece of ron desantis by mark lebovich and it talked about how everything seemed so sort of i don t know i don t know triefd. that it was all just very contrived. when he is going on and on, there will be and he s trying to sound churchillian and he s talking about again, most americans are going, huh? what is this? what? and he just keeps beating it. it s like america is not florida and that one little area in florida, by the way, ron desantis, but he continues to brag about his efforts to fight woke. we ve got a lot to get this this morning. that is seriously so 19 so 2021. it really is. speaking of actual wars, we will have new reporti
it was a performance of bravado saying that he doesn t think that trump will be indicted but that stands in stark contrast with what most legal experts say and what most of trump s inner circle thinks privately. they are deeply concerned, joe, the people you and i have been talking to. the small signs are adding up. this report now from nbc that the grand jury is going to be reconvening again after having had a few weeks off, reconvening in washington. the little development a week or so back that we talked about briefly on this show but i think flew under the radar, the letter from trump s lawyers that trump posted on truth social asking for a meeting with prosecutors, a meeting with attorney general merrick garland. he is not going to get a meeting with the ag but that s the kind of thing you do, that s usually an end stage moment in an investigation when the defendants, potential defendant s attorneys think charges with coming, they try to make one last plea to ward them off or to a
lawyers are. yes, there are similarities, i suppose, with the cases with pence and biden in terms of having documents they shouldn t, but those are superficial similarities that end quickly. both pence and biden returned the documents, trump did not. in fact, there s detailed reporting about the steps he has taken to keep them, to obstruct the investigation, to prevent the federal government from returning them and the people i spoke to near the president feel like this could come and could come soon. a matter of weeks. and, rev, most of the people that i ve spoken to that are part of this process say donald trump is not going to get charged for the same things doing the same things that biden and pence did. not going to get charged for that. he s going to get charged for obstructing justice for obstructing the investigation, lying to the fbi, lying to the doj, doing the sort of things that put people in prison. that is the same thing i m
corcoran recorded his reflections about his job representing trump in the investigation into his handling of classified documents and according to the times in complete sentences and a narrative tone that sounded as if it had been ripped from a novel, mr. corcoran recounted in detail a nearly monthlong period of the documents investigation according to people familiar with the matter. mr. corcoran s narration of his recollections covered his initial meeting with mr. trump in may, last year, to discuss a subpoena from the justice department seeking the return of all classified materials in the former president s possession, the people said. it also en compassed a search that mr. corcoran undertook last june in response to the subpoena for any relevant records being kept at mar-a-lago. last march a federal judge ordered corcoran s recordings to
republicans was going to be counterproductive to that. and you look at the result in the end and the white house team now is in overdrive to sell this accomplishment, not so much because of the deal itself but something that wasn t in the legislative text, this idea that the president despite all the cynics and against all expectation, followed through on that promise he made to voters in the 2020 campaign, that he would be able to unite the country at a time of divided government, get republicans to the table and have a strong bipartisan win in the end. look at the margins in both the house and the senate. we saw the president doing that himself with that oval office address on friday night, the biggest platform a president has. and right from the get-go, i ll correct you guys, the president said 350 bipartisan bills he signed into law. but, as i talk to biden advisers, they say he is now going to be not necessarily focussed on the deal itself, but this is getting back to regularly sc
