days for next election but things are sure heating up. alex: who is counting, griff, former secretary pompeo says his decision was not impacted by former president trump s lead in the polls. it s something that he and his wife had to wait for months. we care deeply about america and the issues that i have been talking about the last year and a half and decades matter awful lot, this isn t our moment. this isn t time to seek elected office. pompeo added that if pompeo winning primary he may not end up endorsing former boss. aisa hutchison joined nikki haley and those announcing a run, senator tim scott introduced his exploratory committee this week with several top gop hopefuls attending nra annual convention yesterday and that included former president trump and former vice president mike pence. they are also going to be in in nashville this weekend for donor retreat as will new hampshire governor chris sununu which is considering run for the white house. i think now mo
There s a hamas right, and you it it was the First Time Since i started covering the white house in 19 that i can remember such a Briefing Om Reporters on Air Force One. A sign of just how uncertain the trip could be. But here is the rthat got me. Was what to do if Air Force One had to leave you, peter, behind in the wake of the attack. You right now there are some numbers and small print for you to call for help. Im like what, go back and get peter. But anyway, what went through your mind during all of this . , know when you talk to the president , you feel a certain degree of security, because obviously there are a lot of very well Trained Secret Service agents around, there but its always important to remember that they are not for you. They are for him. Eventually it will be for her, but not for the reporters, and theyre going to leave you behind if they feel they need to.

and australia. i think that s going to be critical to deterring china from their ambitions in taiwan. hopefully it won t get done. that s our prime objective is to deterring the conflict but if we continue moving in this direction and showing weakness then we are just inviting trouble and it s something that we can t that s something that i will certainly not support and can t have in the united states. again, the best deterrence to chinese aggression is strength and strengthening taiwan s ability to defend itself along with some of our neighbors in the area. griff: great insight, thank you, congressman carlos giménez taking time on saturday. have a good weekend, sir. you too. alicia: griff, a new case coming up in front of the supreme court tuesday pits one man s liberty rights against work requirements
