5:12 pm
to the general. but one woman wants essay, and if nikki haley comes within single digits of donald trump here in new hampshire tomorrow, or beats him, obviously, she can justify staying in and waging another battle in south carolina. but south carolina is a month away. and if nikki haley doesn't over perform tomorrow, then she is a braver woman than i thought. because she will have to withstand a month of tongue lashing from the wicked trash tn politics. plus an avalanche of endorsements, a pressure campaign from republican voters to pack it in with grace, for the sake of the party's financial health and muscle tone. the general election is not going to be pretty and the republican party is only going to win when the party is fully supportive of the nominee. keep the focus like a laser on the threat to the american people, joe biden. but who am i to give anybody advice? the decision is yours.
5:13 pm
kellyanne conway is a former counselor to president trump and a fox news contributor. she joined me now. is the republican primary over? >> yes. donald trump will be the nominee. well, the voters don't look at biology or even chemistry. politics is about math and science. you have to have more delegates than the other person. >> jesse: are you saying nikki haley is not following the science? >> she's not following the science. those who follow the science knew enough to mask our 5-year-olds, that the moderate wing and the party, the establishment for which we are not going back, mitt romney and john mccain and folks like that, they had to choose a vice presidential candidate who is conservative because the base is so upset. donald trump isn't worried about any of that. he created the space, expanded to space. all the articles right now, jesse, talk about him versus joe biden and he was expanding or shrinking the relative parties. joe biden is losing hispanics and african americans and first-time young voters and
5:14 pm
independents, and he's losing them to donald trump. i'm asking the party to do what trump has been doing since last july, pivoting to a general election strategy and focusing on joe biden. desantis did a good thing. i think the best decision he made in the last year and a half was dropping out of the race. >> jesse: so kellyanne conway is asking the american body politic to pivot to the general election. but what happens if all these rich wall street guys keep handing nikki money? >> i would tell them they are always focused on things like esg and planned parenthood, this acronym, that acronym. focus on usa. get with it, because you already know that joe biden is raising taxes, increasing regulations, making us energy dependent, killing those keystone pipeline jobs on day one, and making us dependent on foreign dictators who don't even like this country and our people. >> jesse: is she staying in for clout? "i'm nikki haley, i'm going to take this as far as i can go, i'm going to stack up a couple delegates so i go into the convention with juice and leverage."
5:15 pm
is that the play? >> possibly. but also she has a big future. she's in her early 50s. people have to run again in 2028. biden or trump will be one term. but i think she's misreading the way maga looks at it with us. she left he administers an early, in september of 2018. that was a little early. and the reason i say that is just six weeks later was the midterm elections. we could have used her juice and tried to campaign for those senators. i hope she uses the goodwill she's built up to go out and campaign for the nominee, donald trump. and when he is stuck in blue city courtrooms, i really hope everyone will be out there picking up the slack. >> jesse: is the only way they're going to do it. all right, use your juice wisely. that's what we have learned. >> and give the money back.
5:16 pm
you're going to benefit so much from a second trump term. get on the right list, the one helping usa. that's accurate and they should think about, usa. >> jesse: kac, and other acronym i can't forget. thank you.

politicians are already being asked about it. watch. do you want to be vice president? >> look, i want to serve this country in whatever way i can, jesse. that's why i've been in this race in the first place. >> i would help them however i can. >> the only thing i want is for more years of donald trump and a republican majority in the senate, a majority in the house, and the white house. if i can help achieve that through my endorsement, by being on the campaign trail in my home state of south carolina for the next four or five weeks and beyond, that is the goal. >> i'm not going to talk about any conversation with president trump, but i said i would be honored to serve in any capacity. >> i absolutely love the job i had. i think it's one of the best jobs i can ever ask for and i'm honored to serve as governor, and i hope i get to do it for the next seven years. >> jesse: these are just some of the candidates whose names have popped up. let's analyze. vivek is a sharp populace with

kari lake, certainly charismatic. we are even hearing about the alabama senator who my producers tell me denied our invitation to join our show twice, which now makes me think she doesn't like me. which would make her a terrible vp choice. national press secretary for the trump campaign, caroline levitt, joins us now. there's a secret name that i'm going to reveal later which i'm being told is in the running, but where is the president when it comes to picking the vp? >> as the president said yesterday, he has about 25% toward one person. that's not a lot, jesse. we are very much focused on winning the new hampshire primary tomorrow and then focusing our attention to taking the fight to joe biden, hopefully, if nikki haley decides to realize she has no pathway to the nomination in this race and will drop out. i don't know, genuinely. i don't know if the president even knows. i think he is still thinking
5:25 pm
about it. genuinely looking over the candidates. i will say this, he did tell fox news' very own bret baier yesterday that the most important quality for him is someone who he knows will make a great president after he's out of office. i think that's very important. >> jesse: that's interesting. we are having kari lake on later in the show. a saying she is in the running? >> i'm saying everyone's in the running. bill and i'm in the running? >> you could be! >> jesse: i can't take the pay cut. i heard kellyanne conway bring to our attention m marco rubio r vp. i hadn't seen his name on a list anywhere but i thought, that's interesting. >> l, i will say this, the republican party has a very deep bench. marco rubio endorsed the former president of united states as well as senator rick scott before ron desantis even dropped out of this race, showing the power president trump has from the great state of florida. and tonight here in new hampshire president trump

5:32 pm
from doing their job. which apparently was letting illegals in. and the conservative justices dissented, but roberts and amy coney barrett sided with the liberal justices and said biden could cut the border wire. since the federal government has the authority to enforce border policy, the court found that the federal government is within its rights to not enforce border policy. that they have discretion. governor abbott says this isn't over. but what good is the federal government if it can't defend our border? that's almost the entire point of the federal government. and how our state supposed to defend themselves if the federal government won't? illegal immigrants are now issuing threats when they cross. listen. >> if you are smart enough, you will know who i am. but soon if you're going to know who i am. >> wow. the entitlement. >> believe me.

at the border, you guys have no idea what kind of people are coming into this country? >> we need more resources, more funding. which is why we are having these negotiations on the hill. but republicans in the senate are working with us, republicans in the house or trying to get in the way. >> jesse: i'm sorry, i hate to be a stickler, but republicans in the senate is working with us? republicans in the senate is working with us? how about before you blame republicans who have nothing to do with our border policy you say, "i'm so site for the virginia teen who was brutally raped by a man who was in the country illegally." how about you start with, "i'm deeply troubled and saddened by this horrific sex crime committed on an american miner by a foreign national." that's what a normal person says when they hear about a crime like that. republicans in the house aren't getting in the way of anything,
5:35 pm
but there is one democrat who understands the issue. senator fetterman, who is recovering nicely, and no one is more excited about that than "prime time." >> i honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border. you can be very supportive of immigration, but we also need to have a secure border, and i think about immigration as we want to provide the american dream for any migrant. but it seems very difficult when you have 300,000 people showing up. >> jesse: the democrats loved fetterman when he was speaking gibberish. they said he was ch churchillian and possibly the next president of the united states. his wife was speaking on his behalf. everything was great. but fetterman returned his ability to speak and started making so much sense that the democrats have a problem. the democrats can't have a straight talking senator with common sense. no one will know their
