hello and welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king in washington. ron desantis, the florida governor directly and repeatedly attacks trump while floating things like pardoning january

6th criminals in an effort to stay in sync with voters. and the house speaker sounding positive as the outline of a debt deal emerges. it looks a lot like a traditional give-and-take. rumblings on the right do raise a question whether speaker mccarthy can make a deal and keep his job. and some new and critical reporting about the special counsel's classified documents investigation. among the revelations in "the washington post" today trump employees move boxes of papers one day before investigators arrive at mar-a-lago and that trump himself produced a dress rehearsal of moving sensitive materials out of sight. a first for up us, though, ron desantis gets pointed and personal criticizing donald trump on a wide array of issues while trying to sell himself at the same time to trump voters as better than the original. it is an understatement to call this new strategy risky, but the florida governor is all in, issuing a statement this morning with links to 11 different

thursday interviews, all of them in the conservative echo chamber in which he airs a long list of complaints about the former president, a big spender he says, not tough enough at the border he says, friend of fauci, too damaged to win the white house again. there's more as governor desantis looks to use his first days as an official candidate to reset his campaign and the broader contour of the republican race that right now is being run on trump's term. it is a tightrope no republican has managed to walk before. take on trump without earning the ire of his loyal base. this is how governor desantis right here hopes to keep his balance with trump-like promises to urge the deep state and even clean states to insurrectionists. >> do you think the january 6th defendants deserve to have their cases examined by a republican president? >> on day one i'll have folks that will get together and look at all these cases who people are victims of weaponization or political targeting, and we'll

be aggressive at issuing pardons. >> steve, it is an interesting and a risky strategy. >> that's right, john. i've been covering governor desantis for the better part of a last decade. i've heard frim speak probably more than a hundred times. i've never heard him go after the former president in such direct terms. keep in mind he was with trump for two years as governor and during that stretch he never raised any criticisms with the trump presidency. in fact, he often cheered him on, and he sought and ran on president trump's endorsement when he ran for governor in 2018. but this change in strategy is clearly designed to try to urge some republicans to get behind him and to cast the trump years as not as great as maybe some people remember it. that's a risky bet. as you said there are still a lot of republicans who look back on those past four years fondly

even though they might be open to a potential altrpative in 2024. the question is desantis pushing people off the fence towards him or pushing them away from him of someone so critical but someone they really like. he's raised over $8 million in the first 24 hours since he made -- since he jumped into the race, and he is going to put that money behind this message, get out in front as many voters as possible and continue to make the case to conservative media, that he is the best person to lead this fight and go into the white house and use the presidency in a way that republicans have been too scared to use it before, john. >> fascinating beginning of the official desantis campaign. steve, thank you for getting us started. let's bring the conversation in the room with me to share reporting and their insights. i call it a tightrope. the question is is it different?

is it different now trump has been president than it was in 2016 when jeb bush, ted cruz, marco rubio, john kasich, rand paul and so on and so forth said donald trump is not a real conservative, donald trump is not a good person. desantis saying he's not a conservative, he's damaged goods, i can win, he can't. can you sell that, go that aggressive against donald trump and keep enough of the trump voters to keep the republican nomination? >> that's what ron desantis is banking on. whether he'll be successful is something else entirely. and trump is doing some same thing he did, he's mocking him. he's coming right at him. they took advantage of the fact that his initial launch was less than desired, we'll put it that way. so i -- and desantis also has a lot of competition for that, and so it really kind of seems like we're watching the same movie honestly where you're having all these other people pulling the people who don't want trump

back, and desantis hasn't really -- he's above them, but he hasn't really proved he can surmount trump yet. >> right, that is the challenge. and again, the desantis calculation is trump is going to get 30% of the vote in most states, maybe he'll get 35% here. listen to one of the things he's trying to say because he knows he has to be careful. donald trump essentially he says was great, not anymore. >> i don't know what happened to donald trump. this is a different guy today than when he was running in 2015 and 2016, and i think -- i think the direction he's going with his campaign is the wrong direction. >> again, trying to convince trump voters come to me, i will be trumpy but i don't have the baggage, i don't have the grievances, i don't have the negativity. >> this is a difficult balancing act here. he's not criticizing the values and policiesf of the former president but trying to criticize the candidate.

i thought my colleague jonathan martin made a good point in his column today. basically saying there is this sort of risk here when you criticize the former president particularly when he has such a grip on the party right now. do you come off as being not a member of the gop, not one that is supportive of trump and the party but more so the other side, somebody that actually is giving in to democrats and actually helping out president biden when you criticize donald trump? it's interesting to see desantis continue to make these comments trying to have a distinction between the policies that trump supported and saying he no longer is the best candidate to continue to support them, pointing to things such as the border, such as covid. but while desantis continues to use language so similar to that -- >> you mention a piece in politico. he quotes a veteran of iowa republican strategist.

the conservative media ecosystem has built a giant wall of inoculation around everything trump. all our voters have known about trump is he's constantly under attack, so he's got these antibodies built-up. trump has already preprogrammed his base to not listen to those people. ron desantis is one of them or at least he wants them to believe he's one of them. can a trumpy take on trump, i guess? >> yeah. i think one of the biggest questions is will ron desantis be successful at that something everyone else who has been circling getting into the presidential race or already gotten into the presidential race has decided not to do. he is really the first one who is taking on donald trump in such a direct way, and in some ways he had no other choice, right? if donald trump is going to come after you in the way donald trump came after him right after announcing perhaps he feels like this is the moment to try, but you raise such a good point, which is that donald trump and his supporters, anyone who comes

after them, they're just not conservative. >> well, trump himself has been going after desantis constantly. if we can show the picture on the republican field the candidates already in the race, on the right side of the screen candidates considering the race. donald trump has said good things about tim scott. he's attacking ron desantis constantly several times a day he goes after him. he calls him nickname ron desanctimonious and we'll see if that sticks. he was asked why's he coming after you, and ron desantis says it's pretty obvious. >> he understands i've got a good chance to beat him because he doesn't criticize anybody else now. it's only me. for him to say we're not winning in florida, it's taken a stage from being a swing state to now being a red state in such a dramatic fashion. >> it is interesting to watch him, and again he's speaking in the conservative eco chamber.

he's speaking to people many inclined to vote for donald trump. they essentially flipped a switch, as steve was noting up until then he was gentle in his criticism of donald trump. as chris christie says the only way to beat trump is go through trump. >> he is being attacked and that is a threat. that is very clear. i think the former president's people have been pretty clear about that, but desantis is going to have to figure out a way to make himself distinctive and not just be trump-lite as nikki haley said during one of her stops. >> if you're looking at the poll they do keep trump and desantis at the top of the pack. trump 84%, desantis -- watch that number. does that number stay constant or does it go down?

if it stays consmaybe there's an opening. up next president biden says there's progress in the debt limit negotiations. and a republican led panel in texas now recommending that the state's republican attorney general be impeached. more protection, more sun, more joy. the suncare brand used most bdermatologists and their famili, neutrogena® for people with skin.

debt ceiling negotiators are back at it today and the house speaker is upbeat as we hit what he calls crunch time. >> i know we made progress last night. we've got to make more progress now. i'm going to work as hard as we can to try to get this done, get more progress today and finish the job. i'm a total optimist. >> there are loud complaints both from the left and the right and that's proof negotiators are indeed finding some middle ground. there's tentative agreement for raising the debt ceiling for two years through the 2024 election in exchange for new spending limits. still the details of the

restraints haare not final. our great reporters are back to the table. you can see you in the photo there trying to question the speaker. he is upbeat. his negotiators seem upbeat. they are making tradeoffs that are traditional, right? the house republicans won the election, they have one chamber in commerce. this seems to be like this is a normal your piece of the power deal you're making. can they sell it, though, to the more conservative members? >> well, they may not be able to sell it to the more conservative members. they may not be able to sell it if they make a deal to chip roy. there's two questions on the table. >> let me jump in on that table because you mentionthality, again, that's traditional, too. the democrats and republicans cut a deal, liberals don't like it, conservatives don't like it, but you have enough votes in the middle. what's different is you get another letter. as a result of your skilled

leadership since your consequential election in january congressional republicans have not been so united in decades. as you navigate the debt limit debate you are the steward of the community and will determine whether it continues to strengthen or evaporate. as a traditional deal kevin mccarthy loses 30 votes own here, the democrats lose 30 votes over there, they pass it in the middle. but now will he keep his speakship if he does that? >> only kevin mccarthy will decide whether to put this deal on the floor of the house. i think there are two questions. one of the questions is are you going to lose conservatives? the answer is yes. and the other question is does it anger them so much they bring some motion to vacate where they try to remove the speaker from his job? and i think those are two separate questions where and we aren't at a place here where we can answer the second one even though the first is probably he's going to lose some

conservatives. and we should note democrats are going to lose some progressives in the nucleus of those bipartisan lawmakers they're going to need. >> this is one of his top negotiators saying we're getting there but it's tough. >> we can close it out, we can meet the deadline and the obligations we have to the american public. >> you think erthey're going to closeout tonight, today? >> the pressure is more. the consequences are greater. we recognize that. we know this, and the white house surely recognizes it. >> he is onboard, mchenry. a lot of conservatives say push the limits, don't believe janet yellen, go past june 1st and see what happens. he's saying, no, that's the deadline and we're going to try to meet it. >> he's also financial services chair. he understands. he's hearing from bankers, he's hearing from the folks that are

really truly saying this has got to get done. but again, the question is how mad does this make conservatives who are never going to sign on? and can they thread that needle? and to his little shrug there, that's exactly where we're at. >> the other side of the coin is what is the disappointment among democrats. this is one leading democrat who says number one i keep hearing the president has work requirements, at least open to negotiating some work requirements. she says a nonstarter and listen to what else she said. >> i regard work requirements as an issue in these efforts as a nonstarter. it would be good if they were to leave the negotiation in the hands of the four women who are appropriators. we know how to do it. >> a little swipe there at the end. it is the president's budget director there, his legislative director is a woman, but the president, the speaker, she saying get out of the way, guys?

>> yeah, and look this level of frustration as well about one of the policies mentioned or one of the proposals made a sticking point that being the work requirements. those frustrations were made clear as well this week and last week when the president did indicate he was open to an agreement along those lines pointing to the support he had for a version of those work requirements when he was a senator as well. so as you were saying, john, when you're getting close to an agreement here one sign can be the frustration from the different flanks in each party, but it'll be interesting to look at this framework and see if they can continue to actually address some of those sticking points. you do have republicans at this point or at least kevin mccarthy at this point could come away saying, look, we did cut spending, it's going to be below fiscal 2023 proposal and the white house seems to be expressing some enthusiasm by moving money away from the irs, which would offset some of the

spending. i know that remains an open question as well. it'll be interesting to see if they can get through and address some of the remaining sticking points here. >> possibly later today or tonight. up next for us new details in the mar-a-lago classified documents investigation. a new report simply stunning says the former president showed documents to visitors and that trump aides moved boxes just one day before the fbi showed up.

ken paxton crossing a line with his own party that just might cost him his job. paxton is the texas attorney general, a republican and a long running source of controversy and whispers about corruption. thursday a republican in the texas house voted 5-0 to impeach paxton. the 20 articles of impeachment include accusations of bribery and abusing the public trust. rosa, long a subject of controversy but this a huge step by the ledge gislature. >> huge step by a legislature that has republican leadership, and of course the texas attorney general is a republican. so let's start from the top. these 20 articles of impeachment include constitutional bribery, disregard of official duty, misapplication of resources, constitutional bribery, obstruction of justice, false

statements in official records. it goes on and on and on, but here's the back story. these were adopted one day after an explosive open hearing at a texas investigative committee made up of three republicans and two democrats. and testimony during this three-hour hearing described allegations of misconduct by attorney general ken paxton to benefit a donor in relation to a whistle-blower case that ken paxton settled in february for $3.3 million obligating the taxis taxpayer to pay those $3.3 million. now, here's the crux of this and this is why we're here. the texas house speaker, dave feland, has maintained throughout this that the texas taxpayer should not pay for those $3.3 million on this settlement without a proper investigation. that's why this investigation happened, and the result of the

investigation is the articles of impeachment. now, just to give you a taste of some of those revelations in this three-hour hearing take a listen. >> mr. paxton did not register with the state's securities board. actually acknowledged that, paid a fine, and then turned around and proceeded to continue with the same pattern of behavior of not registering and interacting in those transactions for personal gain. >> yes, i would -- one qualifier. there's evidence he did this in 2004 and 2005, was put on notice of the violation in 2009 because of a lawsuit and did it again in 2012. >> reporter: now, paxton firing back saying that all those allegations can be disproven, that this adoption of articles of impeachment is illegal, issuing a statement saying in part, quote, four liberal

lawyers put forward a report based on here say and gossip, it goes onto say this process provides no opportunity interest rebuttal or due process. they even refused to allow a senior attorney from my office to provide the facts. now, these articles of impeachment are technically house resolution 2377. they have to go before the full house. a simple majority, john, will take this over to senate and that of course is where impeachment court happens. >> we'll keep watching as it plays out for us. big drama in texas. rosa flores, appreciate the details there. back to washington now and a very important "the washington post" report that has stunning details of the investigation into classified records donald trump took to mar-a-lago when he left office. "the post" says investigators have learned mar-a-lago workers moved boxes containing sensitive documents the day before the fbi came for them. trump also is alleged to have kept some classified documents out in the open, in his office sometimes showing them to visitors. these details could help the

special counsel prosecutors prove he understood the gravity of the situation and demonstrated intent to obstruct the efforts to get those records. evan, let's just start with you and first let's just show the calender. number one, the fbi served a search warrant. we all know that. the president served a legally and obtained warrant and "the washington post" says it was a day before trump aides were moving some documents there. prosecutors separately been told by more than one witness trump at times kept classified documents out in the open at his florida office where people can see them. and people familiar with the matter said and sometimes showed them to people including aides and visitors. the significance in trying to build a case is what? >> well, there's two pieces here. one part of the case is to show or to try to prove that the president, the former president willfully mishandled classified

information, right? he's no longer president, he should not have possession of these documents, and he's showing them to people who are not clear to have it. right? and so that is part of the -- from the beginning what the justice department has said what this investigation is about is about willful retention of these documents. again, mishandling them, and then the second part is of course the obstruction. because once he knows that the government is trying to take possession of these documents, which, again, he does not have the right to have as a former president, he no longer should not have possession of these things, that he was trying to find ways to obstruct it, to prevent them from being turned over, and according to some of this new reporting, taking extraordinary steps really to try to hide them so that his own lawyers were misleading the fbi. >> and ellie, i want you to help

us. let's first listen to something he said to our colleague kaitlan collins during the cnn town hall when she asked him did he show them to people. >> did you ever show those classified dumts to anyone? >> not really, i would have the right to. >> what do you mean not really? >> thought that i can think of. i don't have anything. i have no classified documents. and by the way they become automatically declassified when i took them. >> the back part we know he did have classified documents and there's a process. a president can declassify things, but to the idea if -- you know trump's defense. he says he doesn't remember doing it or not really, but if the defense is, yeah, i had these and i just thought it was cool, a keepsake. and i showed them to the guys in my office, is that a defense? >> that's not a defense at all. what prosecutors have to prove here he had them in his office and had criminal intent.

that detail that he had people in his office and showed them to people at times. first of all, he knew those documents were there. i don't think there's much dispute about that, but you have to establish that. second of all that he disseminated that information. he showed it to other people. no, he didn't post it online, but he had people visiting who were not clear. and third in the clip you just played he essentially lied about it to kaitlan. why would he say not really he showed it to other people. and that shows his guilty knowledge, and that's what you need to prove to show criminal intent. >> trump and his aides also carried out a dress rehearsal removing thing uzfrom his office even before they received the subpoena. the idea that there was a dress rehearsal again get you to the idea of intent and understanding that these were sensitive not

just documents i get to take. >> that's exactly what it gets you. as a prosecutor, john, it's important to understand this does not mean they ran a sort of fire drill like you would in high school where they said let's practice. it sounds like it but that is not exactly the reporting from josh dossy. the judge said when the archives first started asking about these documents trump's team engaged in an effort to mislead and did it again when doj came to town, the first time was a dress rehearsal and that's crucial evidence of intent because you argue to a jury they did this more than once, as part of a plan and did this with intent to deceive the doj and that's gets you obstruction. >> you and other members of our team have been here with new details of the investigation in recent days and weeks as well. what does that tell us about the time line? >> it seems to indicate at least the grand jury that is looking

at the mar-a-lago part of the investigation hasn't met in at least a couple of weeks. so there's a lot of certainly conjecture among people who are watching this very closely that jack smith is close to at least making a decision on what to do here. perhaps they're writing a prosecution memo. perhaps they are waiting for additional information to come in, but it's clear they are very near the end of this investigation. >> right, and clear from your reporting and this post reporting they believe they have some damning details. up next democratic doubts. a new poll reveals slumping biden support about key pieces of the democratic coalition.

a new cnn polling shows president biden has some real troublings in his own party has he ramps up his re-election efforts. now, to be crystal clear there is no threat, zero threat to the president's renomination at the moment. but take a look just 60% of democrats and voters who lean democratic list president biden as their first choice to be the party's 2024 nominee, longer than long shot challengers together for the first choice of nearly 3 in 10 democrats, and 8% of democrats and democratic leaners say they would prefer someone else to top the ticket. and the president offense overall political standing as you see there is in a rough place at the moment. 35% of americans now say they have a favorable opinion of the president. that's down from 40% earlier this year and down more than 20 points since the beginning of his term. our white house correspondent

arlette saenz joins the conversation. there's no immediate threat to the president's renomination, but they be to look at these numbers and understand before they can deal with the republicans, they have some issues in the family. >> yeah, i think in their ideal world of course they would want to have 100% of democrats supporting the president, but some of this falls in line with some of the polling we saw leading into his re-election announcement where i think it was about half of democrats said they did not want him to run for re-election. ultimately it's very early they don't think these polls are going to last this way as we get further into 2024, but it does speak to questions about enthusiasm for biden within the democratic party. his advisers and democrats -- democratic officials ultimately believe that voters will come and be out there supporting him and especially when you have a foil like a former president donald trump or if it ends up being governor ron desantis that it could drive more democrats

out. >> and the challenge before you know who your republican, if you look at our poll this is the part i want to look into here. 18% say they would not. white non-college graduates, that's a piece if it's trump or desantis going after those voters. 19% say they would not. 18% of independents say they would not. again, weaknesses in the coalition not a threat to his nomination, but if you think back to the margins in places like michigan and arizona and pennsylvania and georgia, you look at those numbers and think we need those voters how do you try to fix that now before you know who the republican is? >> one thing that has come up when i've spoken to voters whether it be in pennsylvania or at hbcus as well is this question of what have you done for me lately. the president no doubt passed a

slate of bills going back to last summer. they passed a bipartisan infrastructure package going to as well as investments in climate and as well as investments in semiconductors. the challenge here is when you have when much of your legislation will take time to actually be implemented, you know, how often do we hear at the white house we're in an implementation stage right now, and how long will it take people to feel the impact of that implementation, and until then will they look at things you haven't done, whether it's voting rights, police reform, what have you while still feeling the immediate impact of the economy as well, and yes inflation has subsided at at high rates, but people are still feeling that. so that is the challenge here and also really highlights the importance of messaging and how you describe some of those achievements. >> as you watch it play out it's clear and people will say at home you're picking on the president, no his numbers just weakened.

just look at this question we asked. most americans feel would it be a setback or a disaster if biden won the presidency again. 66% say that about president biden, 56% say that about president trump, 44% specifically say disaster 5% setback if it's trump. the country's in a folk after covid with inflation, other issues. so that's any candidate is foiting through this funk. >> yeah, i think there's a feeling by the american people the political system is feeling steal. they've seen this game, the brinksmanship on the debt ceiling, seen these fights over and over again. you also have a country that deals with gun violence repeatedly and then capitol hill can do very little about it. i think the system of we're running the same cycle over and over again is exhausting for voters. and i think if you're a voter you're looking at the top of the ticket thinking to yourself these guys are responsible for the fact i'm feeling this way, and, you know, donald trump had

his shot in the white house, biden has had his shot in the white house.part of that cycle. >> one issue before kaiser family foundation survey which represents your views on abortion. the part of the biden strategy am i right about this is maybe you think he's too old or maybe you think he hasn't been as great as you want, but on certain issues that motivate key voters we have an advantage. >> they definitely think abortion and feelings about that in this country will be ultimately on their side heading into that election, and they plan to make this a big focus. it was a big focus of his rollout especially as you're seeing all these republican candidates who they feel have positions antithesis to where the country needs to be heading. that issue of abortion is something that worked for democrats in the mid-terms and hoping it'll galvanize people. >> and it is still early, making that point. when we talk about polling now it's the baseline. it gives you an idea where we

start the campaign. >> up next the president picks a new top military commander but -- an important but -- a republican senator already holding up 200 military promotions says he'll block the new joint chiefs chairman, too.

senator tommy tupperville says air force general charles q. brown can join the line. the alabama republican is single

handedly holding up some 200 plus promotions. and that includes general brown who's the president's next choice to be chief of staff meaning the president's next choice to be the highest ranking military officer. >> he's a fearless leader and unyielding patriot. i know i'll be able to rely on his advice as a military strategist and as a leader of military innovation dedicated to keeping our armed forces the best in the world. >> our reporters are back with us. lauren fox, senator tupperville says this is dispute. he doesn't like the pentagon's abortion policy where they give travel benefits and leave to people who have to go to another state to get abortion services. 200 plus senior military and now the top -- he says too bad. >> what's really interesting about this is he disputes and doesn't like a policy that's being setout by the biden administration but that these 200-some individuals have

nothing to do with, right? and you can technically burn through senate floor time for every single one of those nominees. the reason democrats aren't doing that is they don't want to set a precedent of this is what we're going to do every time someone doesn't like an administration policy or pentagon policy. so they are trying to wait him out hoping that maybe some republican pressure, which there has been some, you know, republicans saying we don't like this. >> mcconnell said it. >> he has said it but he hasn't done anything about it yet, which is the challenge and president biden understands the tradition in the senate. a pentagon spokeswoman on cnn this morning trying to create that same pressure saying look around the world, senator, we need our generals in place and we need them now. >> we are in the middle of the ukrainian war right now. we're working to arm the ukrainians with whatever it takes and whatever we can do in their fight against russia. when you don't have someone in that permanent position leading the department, making those

decisions, that does have an impact not only on our readiness but our national security. >> the question is can the president, can people at the pentagon, can anyone get through -- i think the person you have to get through, right, is mcconnell. get mcconnell going down the hall and say senator, give us 20 of these, give up important ones, how do we fix this? >> then you would assume he's going to listen to him, that mcconnell can sway him. certainly in alabama they're not big mitch mcconnell fans there, so that's not going to cause any ripples for him. maybe this ends because he gets a vote in the ndaa or something. even that isn't necessarily something that can happen soon. so could mcconnell talk him out of it, that's probably the fastest way. >> again, in the conservative media echo chamber he's holding up biden so therefore he thinks he's winning. today 8 1/2 year prison sentence for an oath keeper, jessica watkins an army veteran
