Recently, Laura Ingraham discussed a pretty surprising poll
on her show on Fox which showed that Biden beat Trump in this.
Again, one particular poll, but it shows that Biden would lose to Ron DeSantis,
which means Donald Trump don't like this.
And he made that abundantly clear.
His very fragile ego was just absolutely destroyed.
And so he took to Truth Social to do what he does best, which is cry.
But before we get to his crying, why don't we take a look at
the segment that led to the Trump tantrum in the first place?
>> Almost all the polls that we've seen that have been done so far, granted,
it's early, is behind Joe Biden.
Now, Joe Biden is running pretty badly against generic Republicans,
maybe against a Tim Scott or against a Ron DeSantis type figure.
But he's consistently beating Donald Trump.
And that's part of the reason for that is probably cuz Trump as well as Biden are so
well defined in the American mind.
Both of them have some of the same issues.
They're well known, they're not a new person on the stage.
They both have age concerns.
>> Let's look at the polls DeSantis head to head against Biden.
Now, this is Georgia.
>> This is Georgia and this is a good sign for general Republicans to look at,
because like you said, Georgia was a state that was just lost.
Georgia has got some Democratic senators now.
To see Republicans this far out leading, except for
Donald Trump leading Joe Biden shows a lot of the weaknesses.
>> All right, Chris, let's go to Arizona,
another state that Trump lost by less than 1%, 11 electoral votes.
What are the polls saying about how he'd do against Biden?
>> It's a lot of the same thing.
>> DeSantis versus Biden in Arizona.
>> Another good sign for DeSantis, or generally for the GOP.
>> Now this is one poll, this is 500 Arizona voters just
taken as a plus 4.4- >> You're right, it's just one poll-
>> Margin of error.
>> But it is a broader trend in matchups between X Republican and Joe Biden,
X Republican usually wins.
Except when it's Donald Trump.
>> Now, just to give you some information about the poll itself,
it was commissioned by the Common Sense Society.
It does have a margin of error of plus or minus four points.
And it's one poll there have been many other polls that we've talked about on
this show that unfortunately show that Biden loses to Donald Trump.
But he, of course, is hyper focused on this one poll that's airing on Fox, and
he doesn't like it.
Now, Cenk, what are your thoughts on this?
>> So Trump is not entirely wrong.
And here's what I mean by that there's tons of polls, as Ana just told you.
So Fox News chose to do a segment about a poll showing that Donald Trump
loses the Biden, but Ron DeSantis beats him.
It's not an accident.
They could have done an equal and
opposite poll showing Donald Trump with a big lead against DeSantis.
And there are some polls that show that Trump is beating Biden by seven points.
They could have done that segment.
No, they chose to book that guy knowing that he's gonna say what he's gonna say,
which is that almost any Republican can beat Biden except Donald Trump, and
Laura Ingraham chose to do that segment.
So, yeah, Murdoch has told his host,
you must be in favor of DeSantis and against Trump.
So even though Trump is a sweaty tooth madman and what,
some of the things he's gonna say here are funny, right?
But it is true that Murdoch and Fox News have had enough with Trump.
By the way, it's also true, and I loathe, Fox News and I loathe the Rupert Murdoch.
But it is also true that that poll that they showed you is far more
representative of the combination of polls that almost anyone can beat Biden,
which the Democrats don't want to acknowledge except Donald Trump.
He's the one guy that sometimes beats Biden, which is incredibly depressing and
means you should definitely get another candidate and sometimes loses to Biden.
He's the only Republican that loses to Biden in most of the polls,
not all of them.
>> Now let's go to Trump and his post on Truth Social where he writes,
Laura Ingraham on Fox News just did a hit piece on me.
There go her ratings showing some polls which indicate that
Ron DeSanctimonious may do better against Biden than I would,
when actually polls show that I do much better against Biden than Rob.
[LAUGH] >> Than Rob.
Why is it Rob?
And why is it in quotes?
It's Ron DeSantis?
I don't understand him at all.
Like do the right wingers understand him?
Why are we calling Ron DeSantis Rob?
>> Why not?
Why not, Cenk?
>> I mean, yeah. >> Why not?
>> Look, he was calling, apparently behind the scenes, Ron Meatball or whatever.
I like that, I'm going.
>> Let's go with Ron Meatball.
>> Yeah, I'm happy to do nicknames against Republicans, very happy.
But Rob?
Where the hell did that come from?
Okay, [LAUGH] keep going.
>> Okay, the poll you're looking at now,
which has me doing far better against Crooked Joe,
was just put out by Fox, I'm sure unhappily.
Then he continues to say,
I'm also leading the DeSanctus [LAUGH] by over 40 points in primary voting.
Watch Greg Kelly on Newsmax at 10:00 PM.
So, these are the polls that Trump was referring to.
So in the left hand side, you can see that Trump is
beating Biden 45% to Biden's 38.1%.
And then on the right hand side, you'll see that Joe Biden is beating
Ron DeSantis, Biden is at 38.6%, DeSantis is at 35.1%.
So, look, the other thing I just wanna quickly mention is that elections
are fluid, meaning that things change and they can change rapidly, right?
So you can go from thinking that Jeb Bush is gonna win the Republican
primary to all of a sudden he's like one of the first ones out of the race.
You get what I'm saying?
It's hard to really predict what is going to happen.
There is still a lifetime between today and the actual election.
And so polling is gonna change depending on what the prominent
issues are at the moment that that poll is taken.
But with that said, there have been far too many polls
that show Trump beating Biden for my comfort, you get what I'm saying?
>> 100%.
>> Yeah. >> Look, and guys,
mainstream media does the same exact thing as Fox News here.
Which is they highlight the polls that they like to send a certain message, and
they bury the polls that are inconvenient.
So the best example was in 2016,
where Bernie Sanders was beating Donald Trump in almost every poll, and
Hillary Clinton would beat him in some polls and lose to him in some polls.
Bernie was doing, like,
seven to eight points better than Hillary Clinton on average of all those polls.
But they would find one poll that showed Bernie losing to Trump, and
they would all run with it 24/7.
So if I talk to my mainstream Democratic friends, they never saw the other polls.
So the only one they saw was the one where either Bernie was losing and
Hillary was doing better.
When you cherry pick one poll and one that you know is not representative,
you have an agenda, and mainstream media does that all the time.
I have another example from CNN in a second, but go on.
>> Okay, all right, our wonderful producers have shed some light
on why Trump is using Rob to refer to Ron DeSantis.
So Trump sent out a press release referring to
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as Rob.
The Trump team sent out an in case you missed it alert on Wednesday,
sharing a Daily Mail story which had the typo in the headline
reading Steve Bannon calls Rob DeSantis a weasel.
So it looks like Trump saw that, he liked it, and now he's calling him Rob.
>> That's so inside baseball.
Okay, super random.
[LAUGH] Anyways, by the way, here's, speaking of random, next report, please if
you're interviewing Trump, ask him one question and I guarantee it'll be gold.
Ask him, you know, we're calling Ron DeSantis Ron DeSanctimonious.
Can you tell us what sanctimonious means?
Okay, guaranteed.
Guaranteed it's gonna be a viral sensation cuz there's no chance he knows, okay.
Anyways, the most devastating part of that post on True Social is when he says,
make sure you're watching Greg Kelly on Newsmax at 10:00 AM instead.
Okay, so that's what Laura did- >> 10:00 PM.
>> Yeah, did I say AM, yeah 10:00 PM.
That's what Laura Ingraham and Fox News is gonna catch the biggest feelings over.
Okay, so he's hitting him where it hurts and it's working.
Fox's audience is much lower than it used to be when they had Tucker Carlson.
>> Yeah, and normally that would be cause for celebration,
except they're moving over to outlets that are even worse and more unhinged, so.
>> Yeah, absolutely.
So, all right, I'm gonna say last two things here.
One, I promised you the CNN poll, they did a poll just like Fox News and showed that
the public option during Obamacare debates back in 2009 was super popular.
It was their own poll.
So they showed it once and then buried it.
And from there on, they kept saying that the public option was unpopular.
They did it so often, we did a protest at the CNN building in LA.
We're like, please stop lying about your own poll.
So that almost every other media organization decides that they're going
to do propaganda.
So be careful about the facts that they're giving you.
Last thing is, at the end of Trump's message, he says, just watching Fox News,
they're so bad just like the globalist Wall Street Journal, okay?
>> [LAUGH] >> So Wall Street Journal globalist.
Globalist, by the way, is also sometimes a code word for Jewish,
even though the Wall Street Journal is a company and not Jewish.
And Murdoch is also not Jewish, but it doesn't matter,
they're globalists now, okay?
And at the very, very end of his second message,
he says about DeSanctimonious, he sucks, and so does Fox News, okay?
Now, that to me, was such a telling difference between the Republican Party
and the Democratic Party in the year 2023.
If a Democrat ever said about other Democrats,
they suck, the roof would cave in.
All of mainstream media, and all the Democrats would be like,
how do you in fact, Nina Turner didn't say it herself.
She was on the stage when Killer Mike, a rapper,
said that clyburn wasn't smart in the deal that he made with Biden.
And they said, that's it, you have to hate Nina Turner now.
You have to all vote against her cuz she was on the same stage as someone who
mildly criticized a Democrat.
Meanwhile, Trump's going, he sucks, okay, you all suck.
And the Republicans like, yes, right?
And, by the way, if you're wondering what's the correct answer,
the correct answer is somewhere in the middle, okay?
Where you actually criticize your so
called colleagues when they do things that are wrong.
But you don't have to go and say, everyone who isn't me sucks, okay?
[LAUGH] And that's Trump 101.
