DeSantis would be working in a pizzeria

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.880
Calaogus Shark Media today on ballot,
Trump suggests DeSantis would be working in a

2
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.039
pizzeria, Chris Christie gets caught ripping
Nicky Haley on a hot mic, and

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.719
Jimmy Fallon slays Vivick Ramaswamy. Oh
yeah, and there was a debate,

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.120
despite the debate, the Trump town
hall and whatever Ramaswami was doing, it

5
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:32.280
was Chris Christi who stole the news
cycle first the debate. Nicky Haley and

6
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.000
Ron DeSantis exchanged sharp criticisms ahead of
the Iowa caucuses. With Donald Trump absent

7
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.359
and focusing on his own town hall, Haley and DeSantis, competing for second

8
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.079
place in a Trump dominated field,
attacked each other's credibility and leadership abilities.

9
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.759
Hailey criticized DeSantis's campaign management, while
DeSantis labeled Haley's approach as warmed over corporatism.

10
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:00.840
Both cautiously criticized Trump's character and policy
record, avoiding alienating GOP base supporters.

11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.879
Hailey condemned Trump's actions on January sixth, and DeSantis suggested Trump might face

12
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.879
trial. Trump in his town hall
focused on Biden moderating some controversial statements.

13
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:18.200
Both Haley and DeSantis adopted hardline immigration
stances and disputed each other's records on China

14
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.879
and social issues, with DeSantis questioning
Haley's anti China credentials and Hailey challenging Dasantis

15
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:30.799
on transgender rights and abortion messaging.
The debate highlighted their differences on foreign policy,

16
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.719
especially on Ukraine, with Haley advocating
support and DeSantis favoring less involvement.

17
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.799
Haley was mocked for her overplugging of
her Ron DeSantis lies website. The candidates

18
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.680
exchanged attempted zingers, with Ron trying
out she's got this problem with ballistic podietry,

19
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.079
shooting herself in the foot every other
day, saying things that now she

20
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.959
doesn't even take questions from people Nicky
fell flat with, but every time he

21
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.480
lies, don't turn this into a
drinking game, because you'll be overserved by

22
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.560
the end of the night. Hailey
criticized Dasantis for his significant campaign expenditure and

23
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:10.280
stagnant pole performance, questioning his governance
capabilities. She highlighted the frequent staff changes

24
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.879
in the super packs backing DeSantis,
and remarked on his spending priorities, saying

25
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.680
he spent more on private planes than
on commercials for his campaign. Emphasizing her

26
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.080
own frugality, Hailey stated, I
flew commercial, I stayed in residence inns,

27
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:31.000
and we went and saved our money. Late Night, commented on the

28
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.840
debate, Jimmy Fallon said, Yep, it all comes down to this.

29
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.840
After tonight, it'll become clearer who
will more not be the nominee. It's

30
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.919
like when you go to a concert
and the only original band members are the

31
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.000
bass player and the guy on the
tambourine. Stephen Colbert went with, of

32
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.280
course. Chris Christie was the most
high profile and consistent critic of Trump still

33
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.319
in the Republican primary, unlike Ron
de Santis, whose campaign slogan is Ron

34
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.719
de Santis Trump. Twenty twenty four. During an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper

35
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.960
after the Republican debate, Ron DeSantis
expressed surprise over Chris Christie's withdrawal from the

36
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.680
presidential race before the upcoming New Hampshire
primary. I've been to Fallujah and Ramadi.

37
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.479
I mean this is nothing, DeSantis
told Cooper. Downplaying the situation.

38
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:22.719
However, DeSantis indicated that he had
encouraged Christy not to drop out and felt

39
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.479
that Christy was being treated poorly.
I said, you have every right to

40
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:31.439
do this. DeSantis recounted DeSantis's campaign
saw Christie's presence in the race as beneficial

41
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.520
to them because he attracted New Hampshire
votes that could now shift to Nicky Hayley,

42
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:42.080
potentially narrowing Donald Trump's lead and elevating
her as the most viable Trump alternative.

43
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.719
On his Foxtown hall, Trump was
pressed to disclose names and asked if

44
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.240
he would consider reconciling with his primary
rivals and potentially selecting them for the position

45
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.319
once held by Mike Pence. Trump
responded with humor, saying, oh I

46
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.120
will. I've already started to like
Christy better, which elicited laughter from the

47
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.159
audience. Trump also let us know
quote I am not going to be a

48
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.400
dictator should he win. He discussed
New Hampshire, saying I have polls that

49
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.000
show me leading by a tremendous amount
in New Hampshire and a lot in Iowa

50
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.839
and nationwide, we're leading by almost
sixty points, so I'm not exactly worried

51
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.279
about it. I understand New Hampshire
very well. I've won it twice and

52
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.199
did very well with New Hampshire.
I love the people, they love me.

53
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.199
On truth social the former president posted, I hear Chris Christy is dropping

54
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.959
out of the race today. I
might even get to like him again.

55
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.839
Anyway, he was just caught on
a hot mic making a very truthful statement.

56
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.199
Trump then quoted Christy, who had
said of Hayley, she's going to

57
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.120
get smoked. You and I both
know it. She's not up to this.

58
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.519
I mean, look, she spent
like sixty eight million so far just

59
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.199
on TV. Spent sixty eight million
so far, fifty nine million by DeSantis,

60
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.439
and we spent twelve. I mean, who's punching above their weight and

61
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.120
who's getting a return on their investment? You know, Christie said, and

62
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.560
she's going to get smoked, And
you and I both know it. She's

63
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.639
not up to this. When the
Christi hot mike came up on Fox,

64
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.240
Trump said, I thought, actually, the biggest story wasn't the fact that

65
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.560
he dropped out. Nobody cared too
much about that. But he had a

66
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.160
hot mic, she'll be creamed in
the election. And I mean, I

67
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.839
know very well, and I happen
to believe that Chris Christie is right.

68
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.720
That's one of the few things he's
been right about. Actually. As for

69
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.319
Ronda Santis, Trump said he wouldn't
even be around today. He'd be working

70
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.480
in a pizza shop or perhaps a
law firm if I didn't endorse him back

71
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:47.800
in a moment, President Biden released
a video online in response to Donald Trump's

72
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.000
statement, where Trump expressed hope that
the economy would crash in the next twelve

73
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.439
months just before Biden takes office.
In the video, Biden remarked, he's

74
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.759
acknowledging that my economy is doing pretty
darn well, as he has been actively

75
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.759
seeking recognition for his efforts in preventing
a recession. During a campaign stop at

76
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.120
a diner in Corning, Iowa,
a voter expressed interest in Republican candidate Vivik

77
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.399
Ramaswami, saying I'm a Trump girl, but you're on my radar. Jimmy

78
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:21.680
Fallon joked about Vivick Ramaswami's struggling presidential
campaign, noting his absence from CNN's GOP

79
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.319
Debate and a recent iPad appearance at
an Iowa event due to weather. Fallen

80
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.560
quipped that room looked less like a
campaign event and more like a support group

81
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:36.439
meeting. He further commented on Ramaswami's
campaign challenges, saying you know your campaign's

82
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.959
toast when you can't even get yourself
to show up. Next up on the

83
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.160
political calendar the Iowa Caucuses on Monday. I'm journey Joe Mitchell, and I'll

84
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:46.000
catch up with you then
