If this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case,
president Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security.
More than that, I'm a military spouse.
My husband's about to deploy this weekend.
This puts all of our military men and women in danger.
If you are gonna talk about what our military is capable of or
how we would go about invading or doing something with one of our enemies.
And if that's the case, it's reckless, it's frustrating, and it causes problems.
>> I like that the anchor,
the Fox anchor there doesn't quite know what to do with that.
I'm not gonna name them because I don't know who they are.
Also, Chris Christie last night was on, I think it was last night,
talking about the former president.
You knew he was gonna come.
He got into the race because you knew he would be a pugilist on issues like this.
And he came in pretty strong.
I mean, not Chris Christie strong, but let's listen.
>> He's saying I'm more important than the country.
These are my papers.
He saw in the indictment.
His employees were scared they would come.
His boxes, he wants his boxes near him.
He flew the boxes up to New Jersey for summer vacation.
What is this, like they're a family member?
I mean, seriously, I got on my boxes with me.
And let me ask you a question.
What exactly was he doing with them?
Did someone remind him he's not the president anymore?
You don't need these things anymore.
This is vanity run amok.
Anderson run amok, ego run amuck.
And we're in a situation where there are people in my own party who
are blaming DOJ.
How about blame him?
He did it.
>> Yeah, I actually attributed the vanity run amok to Trump talking about
Jack Smith, because in my notes, it was a little sloppy.
But that was Chris Christie saying it last night about Donald Trump.
I don't know that the the MAGA crowd really knows how to cope with
something vanity run amok.
That's not really what they're looking for.
I'll get to you guys in one second.
Senator Tim Scott, also running against Trump, the senator from Republican
senator from South Carolina said he called the federal indictment of former
President Donald Trump a serious case with serious allegations.
And then he followed that up, of course, because you've got to be careful what we
see today across the administration and President Joe Biden is a double standard.
That double standard is both unamerican and unacceptable.
You can't protect Democrats while targeting and hunting Republicans.
When, Max, when are these people, these Republicans gonna say,
what's unamerican is keeping American secrets and showing them and
keeping them vulnerable to the rest of the world?
>> I mean, it is amazing that these Republicans are still absolutely terrified
of crossing Donald Trump and probably still will be when he's put in jail.
But the reality I look at Chris Christie, and
he says, did no one tell him that he wasn't the President anymore?
No, your entire party, in fact,
told him he still was the president and attack on the country.
So all of this, I respect Chris Christie for calling out corruption and crime, but
he's taking a little bit of a blind eye to exactly who enabled that.
I mean, he needs a mirror instead of a microphone here.
>> Yeah, that's true.
And he's got to admit it.
His whole candidacy has to be about being refreshing and
being open and being critical and even self deprecating about
the stuff that he has said in the past otherwise, he can't succeed.
Somebody has to go after this president.
So, Wasp, before we move on from Donald Trump today,
one last question about the tenor of things, where do you think
this goes from here in terms of how Republicans receive this?
Are there gonna be more Haley's and Scott's?
And let's not give them crazy credit here.
They still tiptoed around criticizing this guy.
They said, if then.
That was how careful Haley was.
And Scott, of course, couching it.
Haley couched it as well.
Is this gonna start getting a little more contagious, do you think?
>> I think the closer we get to stuff like primaries and
things of that nature, these guys and
gals will try to differentiate themselves as much as possible.
But of course, the problems that are gonna arise for
these folks, you think about a guy Chris Christie where he had his
own corruption issues while being the governor of New Jersey.
I don't know if that's gonna be a good way for him to go, guys [LAUGH].
>> Yeah, I don't I'm just so exhausted by these these Republicans who
many of them are really smart people, and I mean,
that who just don't look at what can be gained by going against this guy.
He's not gonna be around forever, right?
I mean, he's not going to be the flavor of this party forever.
And they won't see that, and they won't stand up.
I keep going back to it.
They talk about patriotism.
The Republicans want to own the American flag.
We are the patriotic ones.
We know what patriotism and freedom in this country is all about, 1776,
you hear them chanting.
The most unamerican thing we've heard of from a US President is what Donald Trump
had to listen to in a list of 37 indictments today in a courtroom in Miami.
That, to me, is not patriotic.
That's unamerican.
That makes him a traitor.
If you're looking at this way.
I don't know why the people who care about patriotism so
much allegedly don't see that.
