0:00.0 | Well, the four times indicted Republican frontrunner is continuing to echo the language of Adolf Hitler and brag about compliments from Vladimir Putin. |
0:18.1 | So that's pretty much where we are right now. |
0:20.7 | Donald Trump's said all of that |
0:21.8 | in New Hampshire just over the weekend where Governor Kristenunu just endorsed Nikki Haley. |
0:26.7 | The governor is going to join me to talk about all of that later in the show. We're also going to |
