He walked out to a song performed by men imprisoned for their role in the insurrection now it came as trump Audition Half a dozen Potential Vp Picks in front of those big republican donors at the ritzy were treat all just hours after that Blockbuster Testimony from his longtime aide, hope hicks in his Criminal Hush Money Trial in new york now for about behind the scenes, look into this weeks gathering. Were joined by cnns alayna trained, who is live with us in palm beach with some new reporting. Elena, what are you hearing while youre exactly right about Donald Trumps speech yesterday, he was speaking at a Luncheon Fundraiser at his maralago club. And as you said, it was a 90 minute profanity laden speech where he cursed repeatedly. Im told and he did compare the biden end minutes restriction to the gestapo, while baselessly claiming that democrats are the ones behind the series of criminal indictments that he is facing now i do also just want to bring you some reporting we have about the setting of this weekend and so a lot of republicans, wealthy donors gathered here in palm beach to help raise money for the former president as part of the rncs annual retreat. And as you mentioned, there are a lot of special guests who were included on that list that are on Donald Trumps shortlist to become his running mate. People like doug burgum and tim scott, both four former republican president ial primary opponents against him, as well as senator marco rubio and senator jd vance, as well as House Republican conference chair elise stefanik, among others, and donald trump lavished praise on them during that speech. Maralago called them up to the stage. And as you said, its kind of an audition of sorts for these potential Vice President ial contenders. Now when i talked to the Trump Campaign, they say that donald trump is still a weeks, if not months away from deciding who he was wants to pick as his running mate, that decision will come closer to the Republican National convention in july. But it was a Good Opportunity for these people to brush shoulders with him. And stand onstage at this big event. Now, some new reporting we also have is that at one of the events during the rnc retreat Chris Lacivita and susie wiles, both Donald Trumps campaign managers, as well as tony fabrizio, had a walk through some fundraising figures cooling that they had raised 76. 2 million last month. And really the fundraising here was the entirety of this weekend. They really are trying to aggressively catch up to joe bidens campaign a1, who has an evergrowing war chest that really has been out of reach for the Trump Campaign. Manu all right. Im gonna drain in palm beach, florida. Thank you for that report and im joined now by cnns kristen holmes, the New York Times is called host. And laura berlin pbs newshour. Good morning. On this new z warnings of news last night and maralago, kristen, youve covered the Trump Campaign in for us here at cnn. Youve been talking to your sources. What, what have you, what are you learning about . What happened this weekend and your takeaway from . Well, if theyre feeling really good about the 76. 2 million, they know that theyre not going to catch up with joe biden. That has become a reality for them and several of his advisers have briefed the former president on that. So theyre coming up with Campaign Strategies now looking ahead to november as to how to do more with less. Now, one of the things that they have sat in these are his top advisers is that they feel like they have one advantage, which is that donald trump doesnt need to win over his base. They feel like right now, President Biden is still trying to win over his base, given us series of issues that voters have with the president , what theyre trying to do is look ahead to november as how to siphon off voters. But as you said, like donald trump is very focused in the now we heard about that 90 minute profane late and speech. Hes talking about those trials. Hes not talking about the campaign. Hes talking about how hes angry that he has to sit in court all de and to some extent, here heres a great he has been frustrated. We know hes been closing his eyes. He doesnt want to sit there for eight hours a day now. Dont think he actually wants to be out there campaigning but it definitely does want to be sitting in the courtroom exactly. Well get more to that later in this segment, but i wont get into just about the Vice President ial hopefuls is lina was reporting there about how there they were there, there were Behind Closed Doors it came up on stage, several of them up on your screen there six of them potential feel pick takes all, see, maybe theres some others on the list to, but these one of the things is that these Vice President s are placed, bp picks are gonna have to defend trump against all these criminal charges thats going to be one of the big things about one of these cans. If they want the job which im sure any of them well, theyre gonna have to defend trump against criminal charges thats right. Because trump really values loyalty almost above Everything Else he wants. Someone who is going to be just protecting him at all cause someone who is not going to say or distance themselves from him in any way, shape, or form. And weve seen that out of those that we had there on the screen, a lot of them appear willing to do that. They appear willing whether its in terms of the trials or also the rhetoric that he uses on the campaign trail. And oftentimes you know, very well, manu that republicans will say that they didnt see a comment that he made. They say that they didnt see a truth social, see the toy didnt see the tweet, which i expect these Vp Candidates will continue to see and just dont condemn the type of rhetoric that he uses on the campaign at all either. What was remarkable last night was just about the way that trump has gone to embracing what happened on january sex, those we theres this anthem, this january 6. Prisoners have been they sing a song which says basically the mat national and the pledge of allegiance, right . And then they play that all these rallies he did this in front of his donors and his gop class. And this all comes as trump is continuing to talk about Election Fraud in fact, this is the Third Straight election cycle and she is not said that he would accept the electoral results no matter what happens unconditionally. This not what he said in the past the only way we can lose my opinion. I really mean this pennsylvania is if cheating goes on the only way were going to lose this election is the election is rigged and this is that was 2016 and 2020. And this is just last week to walk you journal sentinel. He says, if everythings honest, ill gladly accept the results. I dont change on that if its not, you have to fight for the right of the country. Now, i mean, this all comes as the rncs chief counsel, were learning charlie speeds resigned about two months after accepting his position in part because of some tension over not believing those Election Fraud issues. But trump is dont brace can even talking about this in front of his donors. Yeah. I think we can stipulate that donald trump, if he loses, is not going to accept the results of the election and i think this is part of the problem with these Vice President ial candidates, but i havent seen any reluctance at all from them so far to defend him and to even downplay january 6, i think jd vance has really taken on that man until saying last week that its all exaggerated. So i mean this is what trump is going to do. And i think thats tough for the people on the hill who were there on january 6, and they have to say oh, wasnt that big a deal, jd vance wasnt there. Its probably a little easier for him, but i do think its problematic for a lot of the senators whove already come out and said, im a loop form and doors. Yeah. But they dont like talking about january of six because theres a lot of video of them running and whats going on. And it continues to come out. I want to turn to the hope hicks testimony from fighting. Of course, he was one of trumps. Shes one of trumps longtime adviser. She went to the standard that dramatic in the hush money Criminal Case and some of the key likewise, there you see on your screen about how she kept what happened in the aftermath of that access Hollywood Tape in the 2016 campaign about trump telling her about Michael Cohens payment to Stormy Daniels zoo. Trump allegedly had an affair with and tried to cover it up with those Hush Money Payments kristen, youve been covering this trial . But what was your takeaway about what stood out to this week . Well, the prosecution certainly did their job with hope x. I mean, it was very clear she was composed, she was poised, she was very honest about everything that had happened and the other part of this is that shes not somebody like Michael Cohen who has an ax to grind with donald trump. They hadnt welcome for two years. That was because her testimony in front of the january 6 committee was made public. There was a lot of ice around some of the Text Messages she sent that essentially insulted the president and his orbit was very angry. But the two of them still have very much mutual admiration for each other. They both speak very highly of each other. They have a relationship that was clear when she was on the stand she was one of the first people that was part of Donald Trumps campaign. She was in it and she was part of everything and the prosecutions job there to outline what that looked like. They did that and i was pretty powerful. And meantime, ive put the question to a number of republicans about the allegations of all was all republicans are defending trump against these prosecutions. I think its unfair. They see twotier system of justice thats their argument. But what just the underlying allegations donald trump allegedly making Hush Money Payments to cover up. Its a fair and how do we feel about it . Does that conduct give you any concern . I think it gives me concern is when you look at College Campuses across the country, you have a two tier justices in this country. What about the conduct his alleged conduct the former president well, again, im not going to speak to alleged activities. You want somebody again . Good character to be president. You need to look back in history, all the dirt bags that weve elected president doesnt shake me. Id be more concerned if i were President Biden the underlying allegations that he paid off a porn star to keep an extra imelda fell quiet. I knew i cant answer those questions anymore. Im im looking for and thats not thats former Vice President mike pences brother, but thats gop weight goes on the hill, but i have heard from even members who are not fans of donald trump at all that they think that this case is not a good case. Yeah. It see well see if the actually is convicted or or acquitted, but maybe a hung jury. Lets say all right, coming up as Campus Protests continue, this weekend, democrats are on edge.
