>> Do you agree that Trump should not step foot in the White House again?
>> Yeah, I've said that for a long time.
I think it's very frustrating to me that they haven't burned him.
To me, the bottom line here, just as a conservative
Republican who is alarmed by the trajectory of the country,
Trump can never ever again win a national election.
>> You just heard from Fox News Legal Analyst, Andy McCarthy,
who's about to explain why he believes that Donald Trump will be prosecuted.
Thanks to new evidence presented during the January 6th hearings.
And it's just one of many new obstacles that Trump is facing now
that he prepares to run for president again in 2024.
Now, let's hear a little more from McCarthy,
who explains how Trump could be prosecuted.
>> One of the things I thought was really deficient about the impeachment
investigation right after the capitol riot,
was the failure to peel back the curtain on what president Trump was doing,
not only in the lead up to January 6th, but in the minutes and
hours that were critical during the riot.
So, we now have from a witness who has a lot of firsthand knowledge,
a real look at what was going on there,
which I think is a critically important element of it.
And I guess the second thing is, I've always thought that this
whole discussion about incitement was kind of a side show,
what I think you have here based on the testimony we heard yesterday is
a situation where now assuming the truth of Hutchinson's account and
I don't think there's any reason for her to be lying about this,
Trump was clearly aware just moments before he took
the podium that you had a mob of heavily armed people.
That was what this whole argument about whether the magnetometers should
be taken away and whether armed people should be allowed to come.
And I thought the critical things he says there are, there not here to hurt me,
which implies that in his mind he knows they're here to hurt someone,
it's just not him.
And the second thing he says,
which I don't think has gotten enough attention is, he says,
they can come in, they can hear me, and then they can march to the capitol.
That's right.
He is absolutely correct about the testimony we heard from former
White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows aide at the time,
a woman by the name of Cassidy Hutchinson, who by the way is no liberal,
is no leftist, is a hardcore right wing, at the time, pro-Trump conservative.
And her testimony was so damning that now you have Trump lackeys and
lapdogs flailing, trying to find ways to discredit her and
they're failing at that miserably.
But Cenk, this is just one example of people turning People on
the right specifically turning on Trump.
We'll give you other examples in just a moment.
>> Yeah, just on the issue of his criminal actions.
Even his former lawyer Ty Cobb, who defended him during the Mueller report.
So all the people who were like Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia Gate,
he was the guy who's defeated Russia Gate, right?
Doesn't get any more pro-Trump than that.
He's like, yeah, the evidence is damning.
It would be shocking if they didn't prosecute him.
First of all, have you met the Democrats?
It wouldn't be shocking at all.
Okay.
But yes, they have him if they want him, he clearly did it.
>> Now, let's go to what the Washington Examiner has recently published.
If you're unfamiliar with the Washington Examiner,
it's important to know that it is a right-wing outlet.
The Washington Examiner is not unbiased, it is not on the left,
it is very much a right-wing publication.
It published an anonymous editorial yesterday declaring that Trump is
unfit for power.
Let me read a few excerpts for you.
Former White House aide, Cassidy Hutchinson's Tuesday testimony ought to
ring the death knell for former President, Donald Trump's political career.
Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again.
The piece continues to argue, Hutchinson's testimony confirmed a damning
portrayal of Trump as unstable, unmoored, and absolutely heedless of his
own sworn duty to effectuate a peaceful transition of presidential power.
Trump is a disgrace.
Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024.
No one should think otherwise, much less support him ever again.
Again, strong words in a right-wing publication, the Washington Examiner.
Now, Trump's mega donors are also turning on him and that's pretty significant.
And so are some of the voters.
So this is a big deal.
A recent Quinnipiac poll released shows that the people that he
endorsed not doing so well.
For instance, Herschel Walker is currently trailing Raphael Warnock.
And this is a competition for a Senate seat in Georgia.
He's trailing him by 10 percentage points.
So Warnock is at 54%, Walker is at 44%, and
the margin of error for that poll is just 2%.
And as we've reported previously and I love talking about this,
I'll say it again.
Dr. Oz who was also endorsed by Donald Trump, not doing well based on Dr.
Oz's own admission here, let's go to graphic three.
This is an example of one of his fundraising emails,
losing by a lot is in the subject line.
>> And he's got a picture with Donald Trump.
Well, that explains it.
>> Yeah. >> No guys.
Now, finally this is real, okay?
So for a long time, we're telling you as the media was like,
Donald Trump has done, Donald Trump has done, right?
It's like, why?
Every poll indicates he's clearly the overwhelming leader of
the Republican party.
The Republican voters haven't left him at all.
And in fact, Republican voters love him so much that if anybody dares to speak out
against them, they get killed in politically, in the primaries etc..
But now, it's a different situation.
So first of all, the reason why his former lawyer and
the Fox News analyst and the Conservative Paper, etc.,
are emboldened to attack him is because they think he's weak now.
I mean, his former lawyer said, if this is an insurrection, I don't know what is.
So not only is that damning for what Donald Trump did in terms of crimes,
but it's also damning in terms of his political power that he would
have never said that if Donald Trump was ascendant, okay?
And that goes double for all of these people,
especially people on right-wing media.
But now, like Georgia is I think where is Trump's death now politically because,
so he lost Georgia to Biden, which was absolutely critical.
Then he attacked Kemp and Ratzenberger, Republican officials in Georgia,
and he said, these are my two main nemesis,
they're the ones that cost me the election.
They won easily in Republican primaries.
Then he said, Walker's my guy, Walker's gonna easily beat Werner,
now, Warner has lost the lead and is down by 10 points.
That is Georgia voters saying, if you put Trump up, we're not going to vote for him.
Okay, if you put anyone associated with Trump up, we're not gonna vote for them.
So they start out losing Georgia if Trump is the nominee, and
that is a big problem for Trump.
Because even Trump and Republican voters do some political calculus.
The reason they voted for Kemp overwhelmingly over Trump's candidate was
because they thought he had a better chance of meeting Stacey Abrams.
Remember what animates them is their hatred of Democrats.
And so, if they think that Trump is gonna lose to a Democrat,
then there's at least a prayer that they will turn on him.
And it looks like they are including in polling to Ron DeSantis,
where he has finally begun to lose.
>> Yes, so let's get to that.
And I just wanna emphasize,
the polling that we're about to talk about was conducted before,
before the testimony we heard from Cassidy Hutchinson during
the January 6th investigation hearings this week, okay?
So that did damage to him.
So who knows how much more pronounced the results would be if the poll was
held today.
But prior to that testimony, this poll was done and here's what we know.
A sample of Republican and
Republican-leaning respondents to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll were asked,
who would you rather see as the Republican nominee for president in 2024?
And given a choice between Trump and DeSantis.
So among registered voters, 45% prefer Trump while 36% preferred to DeSantis,
which is a nine-point difference that normally wouldn't seem very close, but for
Trump is a reputable Republican primary In a reputable republican primary poll,
it's the closest anyone has gotten.
Then last week, a New Hampshire poll showed that DeSantis was actually beating
Trump in a head to head primary matchup in that state, okay?
So let's go to that.
When provided with a list of Republicans who were thought by observers to be
considering running for president in 2024, likely New Hampshire Republican primary
voters are split between DeSantis and Trump.
With 39% preferring the Florida governor and 37% supporting the former president.
>> That's a huge moment.
That's the first time I've seen in six years Trump losing to
any Republican in any poll.
So, that's a little bit cause for celebration.
And if you think, DeSantis is worse than Trump.
No way, no way.
DeSantis is a very normal corporate criminal.
He will rob you blind, everybody knows that.
But so does Biden, so does any other Republican candidate.
The question is, are they gonna go fascist or not?
Are they gonna end democracy?
Trump will guarantee to it?
He's promising you, if you reelect me, there's no way I'm leaving office,
he will burn democracy to the ground.
So I don't know what DeSantis is gonna do, but I know the devil that Trump is.
So the fact that Trump is losing for the first time in a poll is awesome news.
He actually, for the first time, is in real trouble.
>> And the corporate donors are increasingly abandoning Donald Trump in
support of Ron DeSantis instead.
And interestingly enough, Trump was talking about DeSantis in an interview
with Newsmax, who is he considering for a potential running mate?
So let's take a listen to that conversation.
>> Could you envision a world, sir, where there is a Trump-DeSantis ticket in 2024?
Well, I get along with him.
I was very responsible for his success because I endorsed him and
he went up like a rocket ship, just like I endorsed Mary Miller the other day,
who supposedly was not going to win and she won.
Just like Darren Bailey is doing great, he just won.
I think he's gonna beat Pritzker, one of the worst governors in the country.
>> The Democrats apparently wanted that race, several of them.
>> They say that.
>> They're missing something there.
>> No, they like to say that, they always like to say that.
>> Yeah, so Trump continued rambling on about his endorsements and
never addressed the question that was asked of him.
>> Yeah, all right, now the most important.
Well, I don't know is that the polling is the most important because that's gonna
determine everything.
And we're not biased like the rest of the press.
When Trump was up in the polling, we told you every time.
You don't do wishful thinking, he's actually leading and
he's leading by a lot.
So again, it's nearly a tie, but DeSantis has the lead again for the first time.
But this is the second most important thing, graphic six.
Dan Eberhart, a prominent Republican donor,
estimated three quarters of roughly 150 fellow donors with whom he regularly
interacts backed Trump six months ago with a quarter going for DeSantis.
Now the balance has shifted.
About two thirds want DeSantis as a 2024 nominee.
And that is partly why you're seeing Trump saying in an interview,
I could have DeSantis as my running mate.
Where's the money, where's the money?
I need the money.
Please, please, please rich people I'm begging you, remember I'm fake rich,
please give me the money.
So the donors still control everybody including Trump.
And if the donors are fleeing him and going to DeSantis, it's the beginning not
the end not the middle, but the beginning of na, na, na, we'll leave it there.
>> Yeah.
But I also just want to caution, I mean,
when there's like two months left before election day, it's a lifetime.
And so, a lot can happen between now and then, but it isn't looking good for Trump.
It really isn't.
And you're right.
I mean, look, DeSantis would be awful.
Excuse me.
But someone who isn't vicious enough to try to steal or
overturn the results of an election and dismantle democracy is going to be
better than someone like Donald Trump in that one very specific way.
>> Yes.
And and Trump, I don't wanna get too excited,
I don't wanna count him out.
We're just telling you where it is today, right?
If Herschel Walker loses badly in Georgia, that hurts him the most,
because then people are gonna have a lot of talk about it.
If you put Trump up, we're gonna lose.
It's like, we're gonna lose Georgia for sure.
And then the handwriting's on the wall.
So that's just ask progressives.
Once the media says that 24/7, if right wing media as they have begun to do says
that 24/7, even Trump can't withstand that.
