today, there are no reports of any toxic chemical spills, but lots of questions about how in the world this happened again. what started out as a wild weather story has quickly turned into a life-threatening disaster. scores of california residents penned in by literal walls of snow more than six feet high. they re trapped and running out of food. we ll have a live report on rescue operations under way right now. today the battle lines for the 2024 republican nomination are being more clearly than we ve seen to date, setting up what may be a long and nasty fight for the republican nomination. we heard it in donald trump s borderline apocalyptic address to a less-than-robust corrode at cpac, while ron desantis amped up his attack on liberals to a packed house at the reagan library. in four years you didn t see our administration leaking like a sive. you didn t see a lot of drama and palace intrigue. what you saw was surgical precision, execution day after day after day a
we re talking through all the memos. i don t want to break all expectations i want you to follow it, to be on the floor, i want the anticipation i want you to see, i want you to see as the clock goes up i want you to write stories like teetering, whether i can win or not and the whole world hangs in the balance. or that s what you want kevin is still playing a dangerous game, joking about a debt default while refusing to specify what it is he wants to cut. his chaos caucus, meanwhile, grows more emboldened to make a spectacle out of, well, everything plus, the brand-new super pac that wants to help america move past the gutter politics of marjorie greenes and lauren boebert s and matt gaetzs. and ron desantis has put all his chips on fighting woke, going mia from its state as it endures an actual crisis, but surprise, he s getting the pudding squeezed out of him by donald trump when it comes to florida endorsements but we begin tonight with the kevin mccarthy caucus.
both directed at new york city, and courts here in new york, and justice system, and the district attorney s office. he said that these are irresponsible social media posts, threatened death and destruction, and even world war iii. he said that these public statements to the district attorney, which included a photo of him swinging a baseball bat towards the district attorney s h head, was very concerning. they re concerned about this and what effect it will have on potential jurors and witnesses but they said this will not dissuade the office, and they re seeking a protective order regarding discovery materials. they re very concerned that some of the attorneys some of this may be leaked or that president trump himself would use some of that discovery in a way that would compromise a potential trial. they began discussing conditions of release they talked about how defense attorney joe tacopina had communications with stormy daniels and that could present a conflict in respo
