last night, it rolled into the frozen tundra of iowa and crushed the opposition. it was a historic night for the former president. he took 51% of the vote. and on the evidence of this result, the gop is entirely his party. it poses huge questions for his two remaining opponents the florida governor, ron desantis, who came second, ahead of the former south carolina governor, nikki haley. but right now, it s not a race for second it is a race for relevancy. trump s rebound is all the more stunning for this reason. he faces a multitude of charges and allegations, he could even be convicted before he takes office. and on leaving iowa this morning, he went straight to a courtroom in manhattan for the opening of a defamation trial. the court cases are now part of the campaign. i really think this - is time now for everybody, our country, to come together. we want to come together, - whether it is republican or democrat or liberal or conservative, it would be so nice if we cou
and one giant leap for mankind. yes, indeed. they got the flag up now. you can see the stars and stripes. jesse: we all remember george bush rallying the nation after 9/11 on a pile of rubble in lower manhattan. i can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people. [cheers] and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. [cheers] jesse: every president has signature moments that define their terms. but there s one president who doesn t have much to brag about. he is only two years into his presidency, but is there a moment that joe biden is going to be remembered for? the botched withdrawal from afghanistan, historically is probably the one thing so far that cedar into the nation s memory. and that and falling off 6 his bike and don t tell me it s biden strolling through ukraine with fake air raid sirens that s just a proxy war. but the binder has already cemented joe s legacy for us. she knows what her boss will go down in histo
bombers, biden and blinken are hoping for with their recent trips to ukraine and eastern europe. biden s presence there, when he wasn t tripping up stairs was meant to bull sur and resure the people of the region. funding a proxy war against russia with tens of billions of dollars in u.s. aid is one thing. but by actually showing up there he wanted the world to know that he s making a personal commitment to ukraine. our commitment is to the people of ukraine, and the future of ukraine. there should be no doubt, our support for ukraine will not waiver. america stands with you, and the world stands with you. kyiv has captured a part of my heart, i must say. laura: well, biden and his entourage showed up in ukraine and then in poland again because they want everyone to know they re going to do whatever it takes. and they relish the role of being europe s protector. but what about being america s protector once in a while. does he care about playing that role? not so much.
tonight on the reidout you know, if donald trump is elected again, we really don t have to worry because the institutions of our government will prevent the worst that he will attempt to do. nothing can be further from the truth because those republicans, you know, house with republicans like mike johnson, a senate with people like josh hawley and mike lee, they won t stand up to him. liz cheney banging that alarm bell with all her might, as her former friends and colleagues abandon democracy for the cult of trump. plus, gaza teeters on the brink of a fullblown humanitarian catastrophe as calls for a permanent cease-fire grow louder by the day. and texas goes full handmaid s tale, creating their own dystopian reality where women are forced to beg for the right to safeguard their own health. but we begin tonight with a threat of america s putin. today, vladimir putin announced his candidacy in the presidential election next march that he is all but certain to win.
the shooter told investigators according to a sheriff who spoke at a press conference today that the attacks were not racially motivated. it is fair to ask whether we have any reason to believe or take on its face that an accused spree killer said but that is what authorities are telling us so for now that is the official word. what we can t deny is that some attacks against the asian-american and pacific islander communities, something we ve reported on extensively on this show and something that president biden and kamala harris herself a member of the community underscored today. whatever the motivation here, i know that asian-americans are in very very concerned, because as you know i ve been speaking about the brutality against asian-americans for the last couple of months and i think it is a very, very trouble some. it is tragic. our country, the president and i and all of us, we grieve for the loss. we re not yet clear about the motive. but i do want to say to ou
