out the second largest failed bank in u.s. history we re going to have the latest on this developing financial crisis. tell you what, it was a crazy weekend. yesterday, the white house working along with people across the financial industry, doing everything they could to stop a meltdown. yeah. and it looked in the early afternoon like that meltdown was coming they understood that china s markets were going to be opening at 8:00, 9:00 at night, and they had to get things lined up before then so the asian markets didn t collapse, which would cause u.s. markets to collapse this morning it was touch and go, as you know. yeah. because we were on a lot of calls yesterday afternoon. it was touch and go for quite some time. it looks like, for now, they ve stemmed the bleeding but this, for a while, was looking like it could spread much like 2008. absolutely. meanwhile, mike pence finds the courage to speak out on donald trump, but only behind closed doors and off camer
one of the most un-christlike things, i would think, if you actually read the new testament and believe what it says about helping the poor and the needy to do that for gesturing we re not talking policies i m really conservative when it comes to borders, about border security if you want to come to america, do it the legal way. that s what i feel like, great that s right here. over here is basic humanity. the realities we face as a country, where, because we re such an incredible country, because we re such a gareat country, our problem is not russia s problem or china s problem. our problem is everybody wants to come to america everyone wants to live the american dream everyone wants to be here. that s our problem because we have such a great country. so we ve got to figure out how to sort through this again, guy running for president
yet of former president donald trump over the january 6th insurrection pence made the remarks on saturday at the annual gridiron dinner a closed door, off camera event attended by politicians and journalists in the nation s capitol. speeches at that event usually take a humorous tone, where politicians poke fun at each other. but people at the dinner reported the tone turned serious when pence turned to january 6th. pence said, in part, quote, president trump was wrong. i had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the capitol that day, and i know history will hold donald trump accountable. he continued, quote, make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it any other way.
look at nikki haley who said, oh, i m not going to criticize donald trump i m not going to say anything bad about him because he hasn t said anything bad about me really the guy has been attacking nikki haley, even attacking her complexion, like these vicious, horrible personal attacks against her. a couple weeks later, she said, oh, donald trump isn t attacking me why would i ever say anything bad about him? again, let s forget about what is right, what s wrong, courageous, not courageous, that s just bad politics. agree one, you can t win a presidential election, a primary even or certainly in a general by being inauthentic that s what we re seeing from a lot of these candidates. who are you, and what do you actually think that s important no matter what political party you are. the second piece is, you also don t win by pretending that the guy who is leading is going to just go away i mean, we ve seen him go down in polls in iowa and other places, but that s because of excitement
they ve lost time and time again. so that s why and even during donald trump s administration, his immigration policies weren t popular with the majority of americans. this is a losing issue it is crucial tycruelty to get portion of republicans to vote for you. at the end of the day, it s a loser. you lose campaigns being cruel. the last sentence you said is where i was going to start forget policy. forget the specific incident what a joyless character, ron desantis is. what a dour, sour, nasty, mean, and if you go back in history through every election, usually and jen would know this and everyone else who has ran elections. the candidate you want to have a beer with versus the other one is the one who wins. the one you want to have a cup of coffee, the one you want to invite to your living room this is a very obnoxious, nasty, as you used the word, cruel man.
