we're here with ben domenech fox news contributor, editor at large. ns, it amazes me how people know everything that happened. like 14 seconds after the election is over. i find that basically they are projecting their own biased. their own politics. you have consultants and politicians, it is what they want to read into it rather than what they read into it . >> what do you read into this? >> i will give you something that is dissatisfying. because i think it is something that we should not have to deal with as a republic. i think that republicans need to have an early vote strategy. regardless of different story lines that i think you can draw about this election and went on narratives, i think as we have to agree with it at-this-point, these covid-based policies of early voting that create months long periods where people are voting in pennsylvania for 50 days. they are things we can gripe and complain about and know it wrong, but they are not go away. up fortunately republicans have to have strategies where they target early voting, they deal with

effective campaigner thanked by confident midterms -- than biden in the midterms, joining me now, ben domenechow much does it suck to be a citizen with tv and a phone in georgia right now? tell me about the onslaught. >> well, i can tell you, kennedy, having a phone number that used to be property of someone who lives in georgia, i have been getting deluged from every corner with text messages, encouraging me, naomi, you don't have the phone number any more, but i've been getting invites. the reality of that race is that no one really knows what is going on. because there are so many different factors on either side. on one hand you have brian company, popular -- kemp very popular, won a overwhelming reelection. and then on other hand you have people who are absent from this game in sense that donald trump is the reason that herschel walker was the nominee in the first place in georgia. yet he is not going to be out there on the campaign trail supporting him, joe biden is not there on the campaign trail supporting raphael warnock, even though republicans in georgia it will me they would love t

ben domenech editor at large for the spectator.and morgan ortagus former state department spokesperson. it has to be interesting for you, morgan. you were in the trump administration at one time. you watch and deal with trump world and people outside of it this take as you see the party going different ways, different places. >> it's all interesting we think it's going to be announcement he is going to run. you never know with president trump. this could be his endorsement of herschel walker. we will see what happens tonight. it's trending towards that i think a few things. i think trump does best whenever his back is sort of up against the wall when he has a healthy competition. think about what he did in 2016 in such a large field. and if you are going to be competitive in a general election. you are going to have to be able to compete in a primary. so, in some ways, i think it's better for him to have some competition. we will see if anyone jumps in. may not be until next summer. some key things to watch if he becomes a candidat

joining me now fox news contributor host of ben domenech podcast, ben.at to see you, i want to dig into this, now that republicans secured house this seems to be top on the agenda, a lot of people since hunter biden laptop story first emerged have said this should be investigated. >> i absolutely believe it should be investigated, no president should escape the kind of allegation vase have been raised with publicly verifiable in about decisions his son made, many may have benefited the president financially and his family, these are question that should not escape notice just because you have powerful friends or family members. members. i think that republicans run risk are not understanding the consequences of election they went through, american people elected a republican majority to get into a lot of things, i think most americans care more about investigations perhaps of lack of baby formula, and overreach of the fbi when it came to going after americans across the country who raise concerns about what was going on in their schools. you know and, of

. >> let's bring in ben domenech. we talk about governors how they are elected or reelected, i think back to hurricane ian people got their power back on no record time, not a situation, where people say, i keep calling governor and nothing is happening, they were saying the office. >> he was proving he could build a bridge in 3 days. what happened in florida has to take over the conversation tomorrow. no matter what the rest of the night holds. there is a huge sea-change. as dana says and karl remembers this situation we could never have anticipated a few years ago to see miami stamiami-dade come in the way it did, this is an indictment of not just other side but white house's approach to this election. if you were focused on issues on social media like abortion, and guns, and climate and et cetera, i think you lost the forest for the trees, you paid attention to issues that might matter to progressive base on-line, but they are not at the kitchen table where people try to make ends meet and they prize competence tha

been ben domenech is with me on the screen. should the democrats return the money from the bankman-fried family. >> thank you for saying that. sam bankman-fried has been a very obvious charlatan for quite some time. i think if you paid any attention to the kind of messaging he was sending and the whole effect of altruism line of argument that has been advanced by a number of people in the media many of whom as it turns out were either adjacent to or part of funding that came from these sources the question is whether we will demand any accountability from the politicians in question and certainly you can't trust politicians or the regulators involved who seem to be out of touch when it comes to this stuff if they have the kind of compromise nature of taking this money at the same time they are expected to have the oversight we need of these new advanced approaches and i think unfortunately in this case there's going to be a lot of people who end up tangled in lawsuits and back-and-forth. stuart: it goes on for years, lawsuit af

howard: joining us now to analyze the cover coverage, ben domenech with "the spectator," and in los angelesslie marshall, both are fox news contribute ors. ben, you've made clear that you favor ron desantis. look, donald trump's been getting hostile coverage from the media for seven years. i've never seen anything hike, most media outlets savaging him for having the temerity to run. [laughter] >> i actually was pleasantly surprised by that speech for a number of reasons because i thought it was more subdued, more serious than we normally get out of donald trump. certainly it was more, you know, something that seemed very much taking the job seriously and laying out, i think, the case he'll make to the american people. i didn't see anything from that speech to spine the kind of hay red that it got in the media with, and i understand that the certain people don't want him to run, but this is an incredibly important or, you know, historical event just in terms of seeing a former president trying to retake his job and the kind of coverage that it received, i think, spoke more to the ideology in

ben domenech host of the transom and podcast on fox news radio and mara liasson political correspondenting vocal ahead of what could be a big announcement tomorrow. we don't know yet. where do you stand? >> well, you know, i thought the theme of that whole collage you just played was who knows? none of those people do. i can guarantee you after a siegecycle where pundits have bn shown to be wrong at so many turns. nobody knows. what we are going to find out, i think, if trump announces as we think he will tomorrow. what is the difference between republican opinion makers and pundits and the base of the republican party? we're going to find that out. because we have had criticism of trump before after access holiday and january 6th. >> bret: after john mccain. >> quiets down and people go back to him like kevin mccarthy and lindsey graham. >> bret: is this different, mara? >> maybe. >> bret: one figure like ron desantis in florida who is hosting the governor's association in orlando which may be news worthy tomorrow as well. >> the problem is now trump has lost a bunch of races and that'

and ben domenech and my colleague martha mccallum, anchor and executive editor of story, co-anchor tomorrow to see the white house back pedaling a couple days in a row. >> this is a comment you would in the expect from the president at this stage there has been a lot of pushback on energy prices to double down on the idea that we're not going to drill anymore and to talk about window appeared and solar at this moment in the campaign i think is a reflection of the president missing the mark on where people are right now. we have seen it time and time again. i think when you look at what is about to happen tomorrow night we will watch it in realtime. to say what extent are voters dissatisfied? how does that register? does it register in what i'm calling a pink ripple or is it the red tsunami at the other side? i think that's requesting to give us a sense of how people feel about energy independence in this country. about education. when you look at the education numbers. you see almost an even split we will get a sense of where the country is headed and where their allegiance is right now. it

and negotiated things together or whether he will just plow ahead and, you know, i have heard ben domenechng in this afternoon, ben's view is that he'll lose all these moderates if he loses, the party loses those moderates and it will be ever more populated than it was before with lefties. and it will be harder for him to move in that direction. >> martha: a lot will depend on what he decides about running again. >> brit: i'm not sure i agree with that but it's an interesting perspective. >> bret: what after energy companies should produce more he closes with no more drilling with a q and a with that environmentalist. it was definitely a mixed message in just two weeks' time. >> juan: i don't think it was a mixed message as so much, one, remember joe manchin's response is what the hell are you saying, right? >> bret: about the coal. >> juan: joe manchin is going to have to get reelected pretty shortly. you have a democrat in pretty much a red state. and the democrats need him to stay there and joe manchin has his own self-interest he is saying why are you putting knee in disadvantage with

ben domenech, fox news contributor and editor at large at the spectator, and jason chaffetz, former utah congressman, also a fox news contributor. thank you for being with us, ben. white house chief of staff ron klain apparently missedpoins my opening message today. he tweeted some talking points to give liberals political ammunition when chatting whe with uncles at the thanksgiving dinner. then, is this how we should be preparing for the holidays? >> so loading the cannons of people war over the dinner table, are not we tired of the conservative uncle routine? >> you know, first off, i think that one of the things that ron klain has to be disturbed about after this most recent >>ection is that it's not the conservative uncle cominglem after you at the table.inte it's actually , you know, the wise latina grandmother who's coming to you at the table. on her but but i think that one of the things that is going on here is that this white house once again is seeking to invade everything good about our culture with politics. they are trying to inject politics into the day that we ought to set

. >> joining us now, charliean hurt, washington times opinionaton,r, and ben domenech, editor at large for the spectator, both are foxectao news contributors, both here irn new york . >> with me, charlie, from h censorshiper now to political violence, the media, the administration just they're not turninmedia,urningg down the temperature in this race. one bit, but they're looking for both. oh, yeah, no. and they really aren't.e gotteni and we've gotten this sort of strange thing where we have the pre-election election denying, which i think is ausly first. >> but the other thing that we s have ahan obviously politicians always sort of shade the truth and don't always speak honestly. but what is so alarming, what's so astounding about this is tono listen to the bidenmocrat administration and to listens y to these democrats lie to people's faces and tell themi what they know is going on in their own personal lives is not going on .e it's not only does it belittle those people, but it alsocomp completelyle destroys their credibility. and i agree with you. i think thisi th is ina great rea
