court justice samuel alito, suggesting prosecutors can t be trusted to act in good faith. so in 2020, you know, trump and his gop allies were attacking the electoral system. now they re doing the same with the legal system. how dangerous is this? well, it s interesting, if you see what trump and actually his family members have been speaking to in recent interviews, they ve spoken to their own naivety in 2016. trump has recently said i came in and i was just a real estate guy. i actually didn t know what i was doing, but now i do, and the people around me won t be, quote, unquote deep state oriented. they will be loyal soldiers for my cause of retribution, vengeance, and to rip apart the very fabric that is our nation today. that s what they re openly promising, and it s so critical in terms of the messaging over the course of the next four or five months. the democrats not get sucked
election. and republican voters don t seem to care that their courage front-runner is otherwise drowning in unprecedented legal waters. eight reuters ipsos poll taken after the latest indictment has trump leading florida governor, ron desantis, by 34 points. meanwhile, trump s political rivals are crisscrossing he states of iowa and new hampshire as they get ready for the caucuses and primaries that are less than six months away. but that doesn t seem to be making a difference, just asked desantis who has the experience of in a bit of whiplash yesterday. desantis finally admitting trump s claims of a stolen election were bogus. but recently, i mean, within the last day, he had this to say about the quote unquote deep state. you now, where are going to have all these deep state people, you know, we re going to start slipping throats on day one. and be ready to go. i can t believe people are clapping for that. joining me now is our saturday morning political panel, florida for florid
