WHITE HOUSE TURNS ON MEDIA TO PROTECT FAUCI! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, the White House is at it again telling
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you that if you want to go out there and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: enjoy the holidays, you better get boosted, you better get vaccinated.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: That's the only way to have a safe holiday from
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: COVID joining us now is the man stating there next
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to doctor Fauci, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, Doctor Hi's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: jaw Ian felt your bot there that briefing is we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: noted in doctor jaw When it comes to these boosters,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I know that you were in a booster push right now.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Ss Betsy Kline was reporting on this yesterday. But when
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it comes to this push, people want to know how
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: long this protection is going to last with these new boosters.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: What can you tell them? Yeah, so good morning, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: first of all, thanks for having me back. Here's what
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we know. We know that these new updated vaccines are
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: far superior to the prior vaccine that we had. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense, right because these new
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: vaccines target the version of omicronbat's out there. So that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: sort of fact number one. Fact number two that we
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: know is that if people are up to date on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: their vaccines, they don't end up in the hospital. They
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: don't end up dying, specially if they get treated, if
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: they have a breakthrough infections. So we're now at a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: point where we can protect people from serious illness. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know how long are these things gonna last. Well,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the benefit, certainly for a majority of people from serious illness,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: should probably last it close to a whole year. For
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: some high risk people they might last a little bit
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: less time. We may need to do something else for
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the highest risk people, maybe later in the spring or summer.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But if you want to get through the holidays safely,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: if you want to avoid getting really sick during the holidays,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this is the single most important thing that you can do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But that plan and your outlook for the holidays really
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: relies on people getting the boosters. So far, only thirty
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: five million people in the US have gotten one of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: those revised shots. They really want you to get it.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: You need to stop what you're doing for the holidays
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and you need to get boosted folks. Now, why are
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they coming out saying this. They're saying it because they
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: need you to believe it. White House COVID coordinator also
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: said COVID and the flu vaccines are terrific. They're not
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent at preventing infection, but they're going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: prevent you from getting seriously ill, so you need to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: do it to protect grammar, I have nothing. I got
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a question for you when it comes to the question
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of the confluence of all three of these. If someone
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gets the flu and then a week or two later
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: gets COVID, does that make their case of COVID more severe? Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it's a really good question. I mean, we have seen coinfections. Thankfully,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: they're not very common, but obviously, you know, flu can
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: really knock you down, and if you're still recovering from
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the flu and then get another infection on top of that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it certainly makes it much much harder. So yeah, absolutely,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the key here is to try to avoid these things
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: if you're going to get infected. If you look, these
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: vaccines are terrific. They're not one hundred percent of preventing infection,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: but they are going to prevent you from getting seriously ill.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So even if you get the flu or COVID, if
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you've been vaccinated, you're going to have a much much
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: easier time. So you're not seeing a lot of cases
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: where people are having that combination. Not yet, not yet,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm hopeful that we will not. I mean, look,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it can happen. We've seen it with other viruses where
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you can get co infection, but we're obviously hopeful that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that's not going to become a major problem. Yeah, of course, big,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: big concern. And I know you said, yes, say. A
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: lot of the reason that people are getting more FLEW
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: more RC is because they've been protected from those mitigation
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: measures that we've seen it for the past few years.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Doctor Jean is always thank you for answering our questions
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this morning, and we hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you you guys. Still good thing there, it is.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You gotta if you want to go get Thanksgiving or Christmas,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you gotta go get vaccinate. That's the only safe way
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to do this now. And without you guys doing this,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: then then there's going to be real problems. You know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci was out there yesterday really pushing this still
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: sounding like it was twenty twenty two, or excuse me,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: like twenty twenty instead of twenty twenty two. Hannity made
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a great point about this last night. Take a listen,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: all right, that's the White House today. Finally, doctor Anthony
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Fauci gave what was billed as his final briefing from
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the White House Podium, and if you watched it, you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: might have thought that the year is twenty twenty. Take
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a look. Everybody should be back and ate it and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: boosted with flu and with COVID. Whether or not you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wear a mask or Another thing we shouldn't underestimate is testing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So when we're gathering at a family gathering for Thanksgiving,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: or for Christmas, or for any other holiday, as we
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: get into the winter, it makes sense that you might
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: want to get a test that day before you come
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: into a place. I know sometimes when you walk in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and you have a mask and nobody has a mask,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you kind of feel guilty. You shouldn't feel guilty. You
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: look terrific. My message and my final message, maybe the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: final message I give you from this podium is that please,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: for your own safety for that of your family, get
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: your updated COVID nineteen shot as soon as you're eligible.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: There's the guy that said masks don't work, and then
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: said one mask and two masks, and masks maybe in perpetuity.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: A guy that said if you get the vaccine, you're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: never gonna get COVID or things really went off the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rails when a reporter from the Daily Call or try
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to asked Fauci about the origins of COVID nineteen Karine
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Jean Pierre didn't appreciate the question, and well, all hell
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: broke loose. Take a look on a second, we have
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a process here. I'm not calling out on people who
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: yell and you're being you're being you're being disrespectful to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: your colleagues, and you're being disrespectful to our guests. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will not call on you if you yell. She has question.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I hear the question. I hear your question. But we're
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not doing this the way you want it. This is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the disrespectful it is. I'm done, Simon, I'm done. I'm simon,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done with you right now. You're done
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: canceled anyway, Well, Fauci is retiring at the end of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the year after decades of high paying government service. He
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was still aft to face House Republicans for questioning in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the new year, so you'd better get ready to testify.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: They're not done yet anyway. Here with reaction, I love
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: this right like you've you've got this. We want to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: ask a question about the origins of COVID she jumps in.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You can't yell. You're being rude, you're being disrespectful. You
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: can't have that. We can't have this conversation, right, that's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. You don't understand. You're not allowed to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: do these things. You're being rude and you're being disrespectful.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's their line, rude and disrespectful. I'm done with you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm done. Welcome to this White House. You have a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: legitimate question to ask, we won't let you ask it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You have a question to doctor Faucci this final briefing
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: about the origins of COVID. We won't allow you to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: ask that question either. That's your White House, all right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So we've got the full clip of the chaos that ensued,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and it was pretty interesting to hear at the White House.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: This said doctor Faucci's last press conference. Okay, I'm going
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to play for you part of this insanity just so

• 7:30
  Speaker 1: disrespectful to our guests. I will not call on you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: if you yell. And also you're taking time off the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: clock because doctor Fouschi has to leave in a couple
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of minutes. I'm done. I'm not going. I'm not getting
• 7:41

  Speaker 1: what you want. I'm not gonna let him answer that question.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: We have precious time. He must leave. This is doctor
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Faucci's last White House Press conference, and this is how
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it went. You could hear by the way the media.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You know, how dare you talk to us that way?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I do make I laugh because they have built up
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: these individuals. Jean Prayer, the White House Press scretary, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: built her up. They have turned her into this celebrity
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the same way they did with a ask White House
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Press secret Charry, and then they're shocked when they don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: get to ask a question, a tough question that they
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: want to ask. And not only do they are they shocked,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: they literally freak out. They're like, well, hold on a second,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: he's the best person to ask. The last press conference,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: running out the clock, deal with it, and then we
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: will tell you to shut up, and we'll tell you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to sit down, and we'll tell you to be quiet,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: because that's what we do in the White House Press Office.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: We tell you to shut up, we tell you to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: sit down, and we tell you to be quiet. That's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: how we roll, folks, That's how we do things here.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: How dare you think you get to actually ask real
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: questions or tough questions. We don't let that happen here.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: We don't do that here. You know, do you know
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: who I am? That's basically what she's saying. Do you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: do you have any idea who I am? You can't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: just come in here and ask a question. This is
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: no disrespectful it is I'm done, Simon, I'm done. I'm simon,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done with you right now. Go ahead,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. You're taking time away from your colleagues. Good.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I love how she tries to turn people against their
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: own colleague. You're taking time away from your colleagues. In
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: other words, she's looking at the room saying, you better
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: put you better get your boy in line, right, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: better get you better get your people in line. You
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: better shut up, and you better get them in line.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Because this is now where we are. Arizona Governor Elack
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Kitty Hobbs has made it clear she is not happy
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: with Joe Biden on the border crisis issue, sounding like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a Republican this morning on CNN, not a Democrat. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: one of the big Arizona issues governor elected is the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: border and immigration. And so when it comes to that,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: what's your intent on that? Are you going to how
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: different is your border policy going to look from your predecessor,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: from Doug Dooce, Are you going to reverse anything that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he did on that front? Well, look as at border state,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Arizona has certainly borne the brunt of decades of inaction
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: from both parties in Washington. We need real action on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: immigration reform. We need real border security. But in the meantime,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I you know, a lot of things that that governor
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: duc has done, putting migrants on buses to Washington, DC,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: placing shipping containers at the border are really political stunts
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at the expense of taxpayer dollars, where we could really
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be using those dollars where they're meaningful, providing meaningful relief
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and border communities that are feeling the effects of crime
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: at the border. And I have a border plan that's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: been endorsed by two border sheriffs. It's one of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: things at the top of my agenda to talk to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the president about in terms of bringing real security to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: our state and the border. And on that front about
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: speaking to the president, do you want him to visit
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the border? Do you think his administration is doing enough
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the border. I've said this, I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: don't think they're doing enough. I would love to have
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: them visit and see firsthand the kind of support and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: relief that folks in these communities need from the federal government.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Governor elect, do you have a message for your opponent
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: who is keeps spreading these election denial conspiracies? I love
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: how immediately she says this about the border not doing enough,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and then they're like, do you do you have anything
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: about the you know, election deniers? Right? That's that they
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: don't do a single follow up question. Instead, they go
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: into this, Governor elect, do you have a message for
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: your opponent who is keeps spreading these election denial conspiracies
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: much as you know the former president did. She's doing
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it locally as he is doing it nationally. That has
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to that will also affect how you govern and your
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: legislative agenda. I'm sure absolutely. I mean, look, I'm not
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: focused on what my my former opponent is doing. I'm
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: focused on all the things we need to do to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: get ready to lead on day one of my administration.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: But this kind of political rhetoric, these false accusations, they
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: need to stop because many people across the state of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Arizona and across the country are being misled by these
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: so called political leaders, and their rhetoric is dangerous and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's leading to threats and violence, and it needs to stop.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: More questions about that, then about the actual security at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the border, which is actually costing people their lives. They'll
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: go into the rhetoric they say is dangerous, right, that's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: what they'll say. The real danger coming across the border,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the people that are dying from fetinal overdose, is the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: people that are dying from the cartel members coming across
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the border. Criminals, violent criminals coming across the border. One
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: question about that, right, move on quickly, don't ask any
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: more questions. Got to go as fast as we can.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We got to get back to the election. Deny our stuff,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because that's where the real story is. In fact, that's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: where they went next let's talk about election deniers, right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: let's not talk about border safe. Do you know we'll
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: got election denial. Come back to Sanna this morning. Disturbing
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: news that we have learned, and that is that one
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of the top election officials in Arizona's largest county was
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: taken to an undisclosed location on election day for his
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: own safety. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Gates spent election night at a secure location under police
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: protection because of a specific threat made to him online.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: He is still receiving increased security. Gates face, You've seen
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a lot on this network as a Republican who first
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: gained notoriety for pushing back against Trump's election lie centered
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: on Arizona in twenty twenty. He has continued to refute
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: election lie spread by some of his fellow Republicans, including
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the losing gubernatorial candidate in Arizona, Kerry Lake, joining us
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: now as Arizona Secretary of State and governor elect Katie
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Hobbs Governor. Congratulations in good morning, Thank you, Good marnin
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to you as well your reaction to this news that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: we just learned about Republican you know, election official in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: your state. Bill Gates. Yeah. I mean, I think Arizonans
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and Americans sent a strong message to these election deniers
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that were ready to move on. But unfortunately they are
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: still ginning up these attacks on uh, those responsible for
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: our elections based on their false allegations, and they're they're
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: basically just being a sore loser, and we cannot tolerate it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: This has to end. And um, you know, I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: we survived a lot in this last election. We um,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: we helped save democracy, but it's not over and we
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: have to continue to be vigilant and hope the soops
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: accountable for their dangerous political rhetoric that is causing this
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: kind of threat. You have a wide open border election
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and I they're focused on, right, that's number one. Then
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: they're focused on the rhetoric, then focused on the guy
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: going into hiding on election day. They're not focused on
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: all the people dying of fetnal, which means they don't care.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: This is all political bs. That's all it is. It's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: all political dbs, and everybody, by the way knows it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: But they sit there and they keep acting like, you know, Wow,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: we've got these election deniers. We've got to really focus
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: on these election deniers, these election deniers, over and over again,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: they're never going to let this go right because they
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: think that's the thing that seize on. They want the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: world to believe this is their goal, this is their objective. Okay,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: they want the world to believe that only Republicans are
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the ones that refuse to concede elections. Democrats have been
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: saying Donald Trump was an illegitimate at present the entire
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: time that Donald Trump was there, never ever, ever, ever
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: ever forget that, never forget that. All right, real quick,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about my good friends over
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: at Legacy precious metals. With the economy really an inflation
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: out of control in the stock market taking horrific losses,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the NASDAC down more in one month than we've seen
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight was the last time
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it was this bad. You may be looking at your
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: financial portfolio in your sick to your stomach. You're not alone.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The question is if you are not diversified in precious
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: metals as part of your financial portfolio, then what would
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it look like now? Maybe if you would have been,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: it's not too late, by the way, to take advantage
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of gold and silver. It is a hedge against inflation,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and it's a way for you to diversify your IRA,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: your four O one K, your investment portfolio. If you've
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: never looked at gold and silver, there's actually no better
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: time than right now now. I've been investing in golden
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: silver for gosh, almost twenty years. I've used it as
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a percentage of my strategy to protect myself. So on
• 19:04

• 19:46
  Speaker 1: challengers revive fears of a twenty sixteen repeat. I don't
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: know if that's a fear, because in twenty and sixteen,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I think everything worked out pretty all right for Donald
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Trump did it not, Yeah, Associated Press to freak out
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: this morning, saying quote. Memories of the tumultuous twenty sixteen
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Republican primary hung over the Las Vegas ballroom this weekend,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: during the first major gathering of the party's potential contenders
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty four nomination, no fewer than four five, six, seven, eight, nine,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: ten White House prospects stepped under the stage to pitch
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: their plan to fix the nation and their party. The
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: details varied, but within most speeches was an extraordinary sense
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of defiance rarely seen since former President Donald Trump seized
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: control of the Republican Party six years ago. The ap
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: goes on to write their central message, Trump can and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: should be beaten. Nicky Haley, the former Ambassador of the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: United Nations under Trump, pledged in April that she wouldn't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: challenge the former president if he ran again. Saturday night,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: facing hundreds of cheering Republicans, she vowed to give a
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: thousand percent to a White House bed if she decides
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to get in. I've never lost an election, and I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: not going to start now, she said, as the crowd
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: roared as the donors and activists who gathered for the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Republican Jewish Coalitions two day leadership conference applauded. Perhaps no
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: one was cheering louder than Trump himself from his Florida estate.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Trump's team believes, as do a growing number of anxious
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: donors and Republican operatives, that the GOP's embolden twenty twenty
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: four class may already be unintentionally recreating the condentions that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: enabled Trump's success in twenty sixteen. That year, at crowd
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of Republican phil Field splintered the primary electorate and allowed
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Trump to become the party's presidential nominee despite winning just
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: thirty five percent or less of the vote in each
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of the three opening primary contests. In the earliest days
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four season, the twenty sixteen parallels
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the ap rights are eerie, as then is viewed with
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: suspicion within his party. His standing weekend considerably after several
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: loyalists lost winnable races in the months midterm elections, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: most of all, a parade of ambitious Republicans lighting up
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to take him on. A small but growing group of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Republican operatives are warning Trump's critics that the only way
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to defeat him is to rally behind a much smaller
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: group of alternatives. Eric Lavane, a New York based donor
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: who attended the weekend gathering, called on his party to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: embrace no more than two or three candidates and to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: move with real urgency, saying quote, I don't think we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: have the luxury of waiting. He raised millions of dollars
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: for Republicans in recent years, and began speaking out against
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Trump only after the midterms, saying, quote, if he becomes
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a Republican brand, the party is going to be destroyed,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: referring to Donald Trump. For now, at least, Trump's rivals
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: don't appear to be heating his warning. The most popular
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: alternative to Trump is Florida Governor Rhonda Santis. He isn't
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: likely to end of the race until the late spring,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: his allies say, but in his keynote address Saturday night,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: he left little doubt that twenty twenty four was on
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: his mind. He said, quote, in times like these, there
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: is no substitute for victory to Santa, said, siding over
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and over his overwhelming mid term success in Florida. We've
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: got a lot more to do, and I have only
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: begun to fight. And in a series of interviews, several
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: other would be Republican candidates and their aids indicated they
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: would likely wait until next spring or summer tend of
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the race should they decide to run. That's even after
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Trump formally launched his twenty twenty four campaign this past week.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: New York Governor or excuse me, New Hampshire Governor Chris
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and Nunu, who isn't ruling out a twenty twenty four run,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: also said Trump's early announcement was creating no sense of urgency.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: It's simply highlighted his weakness politic coolly standing, he went
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on to say the AP, I think all of us
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: understand how little of a factor he's going to be.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Sin and Who said in an interview he's not scaring
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: anybody out. Anyone who wants to run is going to run.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It'll be fun, It'll be a wide open race. Maryland
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Governor Larry Hogan said it's much too early to worry about,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, the field and narrowing it down, saying, quote,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I think more voices, more potential choices, is a good thing. Hogan,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: who is openly weighing at twenty twenty four, bit after
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: his term ends, in January. Trump needs to be tested.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: People need to go out there and be willing to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: stand up to him. Hogan also went on to say,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's going to listen to narrowing the field.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody's going to say I should be the guy. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: should be the guy. We should all be the guy. Christie,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a failed twenty sixteen presidential contender who then went on
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to lead Trump's White House transition that year, said he
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: ultimately expects seven or eight major cannets at enter the race,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: which as manageable compared to the with the sixteen who
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: ran against Trump in two thousand and sixteen. Chris Christy said,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot of those people who
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: are fishing out of the Trump pond. Christie said, suggesting
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: that prospects such as the Santis and Mike Pompeo are
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: maga guys who would still support from Trump Trump's base
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in a way that creates opportunities for others like him.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Christie dismissed any talk of, you know, whittling the field
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: down anytime soon, saying, quote, we should all rally behind someone, okay,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: who I don't think any there's any obvious choice when
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: responding to the idea that we need to hurry up
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and get behind one person. Trump advisors initially hoped that
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: he might clear the field with his early announcement. They
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: now believe a crowded field will help him by splitting
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the anti Trump vote, just as was the case in
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: two and sixteen. Trump won the New Hampshire and South
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Carolina primary election that year with just thirty five percent
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and thirty two percent of the the vote, respectively. Seven others
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: divide the overwhelming majority of the vote. Trump's team notes
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that his loyalists and key twenty twenty two primary elections
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: from Arizona, New Hampshire to Pennsylvania won their GOP nominations.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We're between thirty to forty percent of the vote. A
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: base of supported beliefs continues to be his floor. In
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four primary, Former New Hampshire GOP chair
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Horne, who led the state party in twenty sixteen,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: said the growing number of likely twenty twenty four candidates
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: should know better this time around, saying, quote, they are
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: feeding exactly the kind of environment that Trump needs to win.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: If past is prologue, we've all got reason to be concerned.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And while there was evidence of Trump fatigue at the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: weekend conference, Trump received a warm reception when he appeared
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: via Tell Vitella conference on Saturday. The crowd chaered loudly
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: when he noted his success and movie Usmbassy in Israel
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to Jerusalem, but there was notable silence when he repeated
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: his baseless claims. The AP says about the twenty twenty
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: election lot loss. When he said the election was rigged
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and it's too bad it was and Israel lost a lot,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Trump told the pack ballroom, you better hope that a
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: certain person wins the election. In twenty twenty four, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: when Trump already had declared candidates, some operatives worry it's
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: much later than his challengers think. First president of primary
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: debate could be just nine months away, using the twenty
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: sixteen president of primary as a guide. By the summer
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of twenty fifteen, there were already seventeen candidates in the race.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: One of them was Texas center Ted Cruz, who's considering
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: another run in twenty twenty four, The AP reports, speaking
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to reporters in Las Vegas, Cruz said Trump and his
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: loyalists deserves some of the blame for the weaker than
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: expected results in the mid term, saying, quote, I'm frustrated
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: when my party fills candidates with no real sick chance
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of six Crew said. When asked about the twenty twenty
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: four presidential contest, Crew said only there were several candidates
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: clearly positioning to clearly positioned runn against Trump. I believe
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: that voters cannon should sort that out. Mike Pompeo, Trump's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: former secretary of State, who is among those positioning themselves
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to run, slapped at the former president repeatedly on stage
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: this weekend without mentioning his name directly. Instead, Pompeo said
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: concernatives deserve leaders who fight for them, not ourselves or
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: our own egos, and he acknowledged the looming twenty twenty
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: four primary by saying, who knows the next time we're together,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: we could be on stage multiple podiums. Pompeo said, who
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: knows who else might be there and what nicknames will have.
