This is a moment in American History, the president of the United States is effectively being called in official court, as the head of a criminal enterprise. Theres been a lot of speculation about white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows who had not been previously indicted. And there was a lot of drama about his testimony, the various investigatory bodies and grand juries. And i think a lot of people thought that mark meadows is getting charged, that he is cooperating, its the president. Mark meadows is charged here as a number of Trump Lawyers. We saw Trump Lawyers named, or not named, but indicated as Unindicted Coconspirators in the federal indictment, the most recent federal indictment about trying to overturn the election results. Questions as to them not being charged but named as coconspirators. Here, they are charged. Giuliani, charged. Eastman, charged. Shes parole, shards. Clark, charged. , charged Sydney Powell, charge. Andrew weizmann has some interesting things to say. Can
Maybe as university commencement, you get the idea. And then there are speeches from our most recent former president. Before i show you his speech today, i have to warn you it is vulgar. But we are going to play it uncensored, for reasons that i will outline after we play this sound. So prepare yourself. Im sorry, i wont be able to go to iowa today, i wont be able to go to the New Hampshire today, because im sitting in a court room today on bullshit because the Attorney General charge mean something. Terrible. [applause] bullshit bullshit that was a former president United States, president donald trump, in New Hampshire today, calling the multiple criminal indictments against him very serious charges, that was trump characterizing those indictments as bs. Im not bringing this up because trump was unhinged in New Hampshire today, but because how unhinged dont trumps may actually substantively matter for these court cases you might remember that last friday, after trump posted on his s
Seen time and time again. And, they will not leave it alone. They wont let it go. And it would be, perhaps more evident, if the congressional delegation from ohio wasnt so outrageously gerrymandered. Yes. Anyway, its a good day for people who like democracy, and Representative Democracy at that. Thank you my friend. And thank you for joining us from home, for this hour of television. Imagine, for one second, what a speech from a former president normally looks like. Maybe its the opening of a president ial library, maybe its a university commencement, you get the idea. And then, there are speeches from our most recent former president. Before i show you his speech today, i have to warn you, it is vulgar. But we are going to play it, uncensored for reasons that i wont will outline after i play you the sound. So, prepare yourself. Im sorry, i will be able to go to iowa today, i will be able to go to New Hampshire today, because im sitting in a courtroom on [bleep], because, his Attorney
i did everything right and they indicted me. and what it means to set and then immediately break the record for hottest day ever recorded on planet earth. when all in starts, right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. hope you had a good july 4th weekend. we are rapidly approaching the real actual serious for now start of the 24 republican primary. the first rnc debate is next month in milwaukee where the republicans will also hold their 2024 convention. while it s still too early for any real predictions about who voters will choose or how this will play out, right now, speaking as of today, it does look like donald trump is way ahead of everyone else. and that is in large part because florida governor ron desantis, who was initially hyped up is the candidate who could take on trump, has seen his poll numbers tank. just look at the polling averages since the start of this calendar year. desantis line should commit with its own slide whistle. he s almost 30 p
and that s in large part because ron desantis, who was initially hyped up as the candidate has seen his poll numbers tank. just look at the polling averages since the start of this calendar year. desantis should come with its own slide whistle. he s almost 30 points behind trump and the average of the national poll. even a top official at a pro-desantis superpact recently conceded his campaign has been a bust so far. right now in national polling we are way behind. to be blunt and honest, it s an uphill battle. i don t think it s a winnable battle but clearly donald trump is the runaway front-runner in the first four states which matter tremendously. polls are tighter. we re clearly still down. we have work to do and wood to chop. it does seem like a bad sign when one of your top surrogates has to admit that but it s true at least and a lot of reasons the desantis campaign is doing so poorly. one reason is what some are calling a lack of charisma which seems to be alienat
