0:00.0	Donald Trump, I guess giving NBC's Vaughn Hellier a new nickname over the weekend in Iowa,
0:28.3	the former president answering questions about the 2020 election, and whether or not he would
0:33.8	take a plea deal. It comes as a Georgia prosecutor, will begin presenting her case to a grand
0:40.5	jury this week, setting up a fourth possible indictment for the former president. Speaking
0:48.3	of Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did not have a great time there this weekend. He was
0:53.9	heckled several times by Trump supporters and trolled by the former president's campaign.

2:08.2	first time Jonathan will be hearing the history of politics that a bar fight started when one
2:14.3	site said, you know, you know, you, you lost the campaign, and then it heated up from there when
2:19.6	the DeSantis people said that to the Trump people. But, you know, you've been in the position of
2:24.7	Vaughn Hillier, getting shouted down by the President of the United States here, the former President
2:29.7	of the United States, calling him a wise guy for suggesting what every attorney criminal attorney
