and friends, i m carley shimkus. todd: i m todd piro. brooke singman will break down major moments starting with the former president s town hall last night. brooke. brooke: former president trump took part in the town hall in iowa and took aim at president biden and his opponents. watch this. look at joe biden, bedlam. a man who can t lead or find his way off a stage. they have chaos in the middle east. he can t put two sentences together. you like ron desantis, he would not be around today, he would work in a pizza shop or law firm if i didn t endorse him. ron desanctimonious said i go by what dr. dr. fauci says, she does not have what it takes, she
rape, incest, i have, i just have to be there i feel. i think probably 78 percent or so who ronald reagan he was for it, i was for it but i will say this. you have to win elections, otherwise you re going to be back where you were and you can t ever let that happen again. you got to win elections. if you look at it, ron desantis you never know what he means, and he s just another politician as far as i m concerned but his poll numbers have gone down to a level he s going to be out of the race very soon. last night he s standing up with his fancy shoes and he s going to be out of the race a lot of people say before new hampshire. i don t know if that were the reason i hope it wasn t the reason, i hope it s for other reasons. can i see a lot of other reasons he shouldn t be but he s doing
of people here. it presi is not sustainable. did you see in new york citydido with it getting the regular s students out and they re putting migrants in theis ouro place? we are going to havehe the largest deepwater nation effort in the history of our country. we re bringing everybodyntrywe back to where they came from. we have no choice. weice. have choice. you know? b you, denisret: de, is here as w. denise, where are you now? denise to our town hall last night. she came in sayingn ha that she was, if i remember correctly, you were leaning towards president trump, but you did cot say you heard some things last night that were in light. so where lik are tonight? i spoke with a lot of really close friends after last night. they were all up. i wanted to know how it went and we got back to president trump. we just love you. how you were when he left. he just he mentioned, i think, m something that you re concerned about. what what s your question ar questwhat s your question
an appeal which could be tricky in the state of new york. we ll get into that later today. carey, thank you, nice to see you. we ll see the former president probably within about 45 minutes, i would say. stand by for that. thank you. dana: while we wait for that donald trump taking part in a town hall last night. the former president holding his fire against his republican rivals for the nomination instead unleashing on president biden as if it s the general electric election all right. you can t put two sentences together and he is representing us on nuclear weapons with putin and xi. the new narrative they have i ll be a dictator because i guy like biden there is nothing he can run on. you look at joe biden it s bedlam. a man who can t lead, can t find his way off a stage after he makes a speech that lasts for two minutes. we ll have the largest deportation effort in the
history of our country. dana: last night he fosse iowa. now you can see he is on his way to the courtroom we just talked about beforehand. the real clear politics average has trump at 52.2%. haley and desantis at 16% apiece down below. your thoughts that morning. i thought the town hall last night was really interesting. the clip you played earlier i thought to me was the one that stood out the most where he talked about how he is not going to have time for retribution. the best retribution is success. that s a different tone than we sometimes get from donald trump. donald trump last night was very engaging, very thoughtful. he got asked some very tough questions both from bret and martha but also the audience members asking him about abortion and some other things. and he was not he was very engaging and very i think very thoughtful about a lot of those things.
