00:08:05.800I want to bring in here someone I was just talking about.
00:08:08.180So Libby Emmons, who is the editor-in-chief of Human Events, joins us.
00:08:13.660It's been a minute since we've had you on, Libby.
00:09:14.220You don't offer anyone else who's willing to criticize, okay, fine, Libby Emmons, come on.
00:09:18.580Because I view you as actually someone who's a little bit more objective in the 2024 race when it comes to Trump, DeSantis, Vivek, the other candidates.
00:09:27.880So I'd love, if I could, to get your take on where things stand right now in 2024.
00:09:34.500Yeah, so as you said, I wasn't initially on board with Trump when he was elected in 2016.
00:09:42.000That being said, the instant push to resist everything that Trump said or stood for or any of his policies, regardless of what they were, was remarkably disingenuous to me.
00:09:52.680And so I started looking specifically at Trump's policies as he went on during his presidency and made judgments based on how he was leading the country at the time, which I think many Democrats have still not been able to do.
00:10:05.700They're so blinded by their rage and hatred for Trump.
00:10:09.520As we go into 2024, I don't remember a time when we've seen a president come back after a loss and attempt to regain second term in office.
00:10:21.480I find that to be a really fascinating occurrence.
00:10:23.340If we have two single-term presidents back to back, it's been a really long time I think we've had that, that's pretty interesting as well.
00:10:32.600But as we look at the GOP field, I think there are a lot of interesting candidates, but Trump certainly is the frontrunner and do keep seeing that in polling.
00:10:44.380He's not just the frontrunner on the GOP field.
00:10:47.120Recent polling, New York Times showed him with a 37% lead ahead of DeSantis, and it was very interesting.
00:10:56.200I listened to The Daily, which is a New York Times podcast, as they tried to figure out just why Trump was 37 points ahead of DeSantis.
00:11:05.020And they really wanted to spin it in some way that was favorable to somebody else, but they were not able to do that.
00:11:12.400I think that the indictments, the continued political prosecution of Donald Trump from what is really obviously to me a not independent Department of Justice, is fueling a lot of support among the GOP for Trump.
00:11:29.340Also, he is so outspoken on how he would lead the country.
00:11:33.260And what we see from a lot of other candidates are kind of equivocations.
00:11:37.160I do think Vivek Ramaswamy is very interesting.
00:11:40.320I like how he is impacting the conversation around what should be going on in the country, what kind of foreign policies we should be having.
00:11:49.640And I like when he comes out and speaks.
00:11:52.340I've seen him speak a couple of times, and I'm very interested in what he has to say.
00:11:57.120He has a similarity to Trump in that they are both coming from the business world without a lot of political experience prior to jumping into the presidential arena.
00:12:07.440So that is a fascinating turn of events as well.
00:12:11.260I will say that I had been initially very excited by Ron DeSantis.
00:12:15.660I loved what he was doing in Florida, as so many of us did, watching how Florida blossomed while my home of New York got virtually decimated during COVID and has still certainly not recovered.
00:12:28.520I looked upon that with a certain measure of envy and my cousins in Florida, you know, looking at them like, oh, you get to just go live your lives.
00:12:36.460I find it really sort of sad as to what's happened to his campaign.
00:12:43.440I think some of that had to do with the fact that he was essentially running before he announced that he was running for president.
00:12:51.280But I don't know what's going on with his campaign.
00:12:53.900I don't know why they are sort of holding back.
00:12:58.200I guess maybe it is to use to consider that it's maybe the benefit of the doubt to say that.
00:13:04.260But maybe he should have slowed his role and come out in 2028 because clearly he is a very talented leader, even if he is not particularly a talented candidate.
00:13:14.480Well, well, well, walk us through some of that, because you say that you're you're disappointed with the campaign and that you're sad with what's going on.
00:13:22.740But walk us through some of that. Where do you view those missteps?
00:13:27.580And then do you have any analysis as to why that has occurred?
00:13:32.620Yeah. So one thing that I saw happening with the campaign team is that they seem to have started out treating the presidential run similarly to the way they treated the gubernatorial run.
00:13:45.420DeSantis was far and away the top choice.
00:13:48.300It appeared for Floridians when he was running for governor just recently.
00:14:31.960He came on Human Events, which is a terrific episode.
00:14:34.480And I like how he's just gone out there and he's like, hey, who can I talk to?
00:14:39.700Can I talk to about what I have to say?
00:14:42.640DeSantis has not been quite as much on board with going out there and talking to anyone who wants to talk to him.
00:14:50.540I'd love to see his campaign talk to, you know, people on our team or some of the smaller outlets, some of the smaller media outlets and shows and podcasts.
00:15:04.380I do think that it's been a misstep to keep him locked up.
00:15:07.400I also think that talking about COVID so much, talking about the woke agenda, which certainly was a factor during the recent pandemic era, you've got to get broader than that.
00:15:19.920And you've got to start taking a stand and making some bold statements.
00:15:23.680That's one of the things that people really like about Trump.
00:15:28.320He says he's going to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.
00:15:31.020I don't know if everyone believes him when he says that, but he sure says it with an awful lot of confidence.
00:15:36.860And, you know, I don't know that anybody else in the world could even hope to make a claim like that, let alone actually deliver.
00:15:45.340So, you know, I think that DeSantis has made a mistake there in not being more decisive about how he would actually lead the country.
00:15:54.280I also think that it's a mistake to not come out and support Trump against these indictments when he was asked if he would pardon Trump, whether rightly or wrongly you think Trump had done anything wrong or should be pardoned or what have you.
00:16:15.000And we're seeing Trump be decidedly, politically prosecuted by Joe Biden's Department of Justice.
00:16:24.200And it's so important for people to stand up and speak out against this.
00:16:29.100You know, prosecuting your top political opponent during an election year when your presidency has been rocky and you're not doing so great.
00:16:38.080Certainly in polling, there are polls that show Biden and Trump neck and neck, which is pretty fascinating this far out, I think.
00:16:49.760I think DeSantis should come out, speak more, be more decisive, talk to more people, not less, and should actually back Trump to a certain extent as he faces these political prosecutions.
00:17:02.100I think that that would go a long way for Americans to have a little more respect for what he's doing.
00:17:08.320As it is now, DeSantis' campaign, what he stands for is a little bit of a mystery.
00:17:14.800We get bits and pieces of what his policies might be.
00:17:18.800I would like some more decisive statements.
00:17:22.420And I'd like to see him out there more.
00:17:25.020Well, I agree with you on that, because I think there's this sense of it's it's you know, and they may have been shifting this.
00:17:34.280I'll be fair that they may actually be shifting this into more of a direct attack on Trump with specifics towards his covid policies,
00:17:43.560with specifics towards some of the other 2020 law and order, the response to the George Floyd riots, et cetera.
00:17:50.660And so I'd like to see that, because if we're going to have a fight over all of this, then fine.
00:18:04.020But when we come back, you've got some great analysis for us about the box office, another type of fight that was going on that I really want to get into with you and everybody else regarding this new Barbie movie.
00:18:16.820When we come back here on the break, stay tuned, everyone.
00:18:38.040Live human events on this day here in Washington, D.C.
