the difference was the tone at the top. in that situation where our state could have fallen apart, my job wasn't to judge either side. my job wasn't to decide who was good and bad, who was right and who was wrong. my job as a leader was to pull out the best in people and get them to see the way forward. that's what we need in a president. someone who's not going to divide people, but pull out the best in people so they want to be patriotic, they want to love america, and they want to take care of each other again.

jon: republican presidential candidate nikki haley wrapping up a could be a pivotal town hall with fox news in south carolina. she took questions from voters on top issues as polls show former president trump holds a commanding lead in her home state. alexandria hoff is live in columbia south carolina for us. >> hi jon the former governor's theme this week has been foreign policy south carolina has a heavy military population she says it's especially important here she has been especially critical former president trump statement that he made he said russia quote should do whatever they want to nato members who do not spend enough on defense but she says that is dangerous, reckless fox news jon a roberts dove into that in the town hall that was held right here in columbia with the longshot gop presidential candidate hearest haley on that statement and trumps a lack of comment regarding the death of putin so alexei navalny. go to putin's about this open he

is lying. we need to be aware of that. i think that is why it was so damaging when trumps said he would choose a putin and encourage putin to invade nato allies instead of standing with our allies that stood with us at 911. >> a short time ago haley kicked off her bus to her she's crisscrossing her home state this week with the goal of at least competitive showing in saturday's open primary. the latest monmouth university poll puts a former president at a 58 -- 32% lead over haley in the primary and at a rally in michigan last night trumps but the bulk of his time condemning the legal cases against him. speaking little of south carolina or haley did say he was no pond of vladimir putin. >> i stopped nordstrom it was totally stopped. biden came in and approved it but he stopped the keystone so he let russia build their pipeline to germany and other

places. but he stopped the keystone 48000 jobs. >> south carolina senator trump advocate tim scott also offered this rebuttal to some of haley's criticism today on "fox news sunday." >> here is what i can tie about donald trump and foreign policy. without any question the resources necessary to protect this world according to the nato alliance those resources went up under donald trump because of his language. >> i do want to mention one moment that stood out from tonight's town hall bid former governor nikki haley was asked if she were to be elected a president and former president trump or to be convicted of a crime, which she pardoned him question what she said in the interest of bringing the country together that she would. jon: alexand alexandria hoff in columbia, south carolina thanks. let's bring in our panel fox news foxnews contributed syndicd columnist and david go packet chairman. after listening to the town h

hall, liz do you think mines were changed? >> i think the more people see nikki haley the more they are impressed with her command of the issues and her willingness to offer solutions. i think a lot of people are tired of politicians who talk about all of the problems america faces without really offering any kind of practical anecdotes to that. so, on social security i applaud her for actually talking about the fact social security is going to go broke in 10 years and how we might fix it without penalizing people currently in the program. i applaud her for tackling things like excess government spending and trying to get costs down via more fiscal prudence if you will. those things are resignation but frankly the thing i think is most appealing about hers when she talks about what she did as governor. those things are very real. that is what donald trump does

he talks about what he did as president. she could be convincing to people that she not only has a theoretical answers but she has actually put the solutions in place and that they worked. jon: attempted to person race of court this nikki haley and donald trump. david, she talks about why he might be a handicapped candidate in the months ahead i want to get your reaction to this, listen. >> the problem is this is someone we are talking about could win the republican nomination. he is going to be in court march and april, may and june heat, by his own words said he'll be spending more time in court that he is on the campaign trail that is a problem. republicans will not win if donald trump is the nominee. >> the last statement of hers, when you think about that? >> donald trump can win as we are seeing in michigan this week were numbers came out showing of voters who were for donald trump

in 2016 and voted for joe biden in 2020 are now leaning towards donald trump in 2024. the biggest take away from tonight's town hall and why these town halls are so important because you see the candidates in action for the biggest take away unfortunate for her is as her comment she wd pardon donald trump. in that, for many republicans they don't believe he should be on trial in the first place so it will not win her republican votes and the democrats and independents that she needs to win a place like south carolina because they can vote in the primary they will not like hearing this. and so for her that answer was as detrimental as a think she said tonight. jon: the fair to say that was a question posed by one of the attendees of the town hall she did not dodge it, she answered it. people want honesty from a politician. >> they did but from a political perspective she did not do anything to gain any votes.

jon: one of the questions about the two leading candidates in both parties, is their age and she mentioned that as well, listen. >> are we really going to put all of our problems and issues in the hands of to 80 -year-olds running for president? we need someone who can serve eight years, fully working, fully disciplined and ready to get the job done. we cannot go and take the chance of doing this with 280 -year-olds. jon: that has been one of her themes from the very start of her campaign but it does not seem to be a resonating she is not the head of the polls in south carolina, at least not yet. quest it has resonated with democrats looking at joe biden. i think everyone in the country is aware joe biden is slowing down and may not be competent to be president for four more years. i like it would nikki haley says there's going to be at female

president, me or kamala heresy. i think that is completely correct. people need to pay attention to that. it has not worked so much when she is attacking donald trump on the same metric in terms of how old he is because donald trump retains his vitality, his forcefulness on the stump i really don't think most people think he's got the cognitive deterioration that we are seeing in joe biden. occasionally he has a slip up. frankly almost anybody does occasionally if they are under the microscope 24/7 as he is. i think it's a very telling argument about joe biden i think less so with donald trump. jon: i want the plate to soundbites for surrogates for both donald trump and nikki haley. well, they're not surrogates i should not say that exactly but let me play -- mike ron desantis

and chris catch up. i think she's playing to the mccain romney and we need everyone in but once you go in that direction you're really poison the well with the vast majority of republican primary voters. >> this is about getting the nomination at this point battling it out and collect the campaigns for what they are letting folks know when they vote for someone who were the actual voting for to say were going through two or three states and call it a day that is crazy that's them praying the former president gets a free ride he has not earned a free right he does not deserve a free ride. >> you heard ron desantis of cricriticizing nikki haley to se extent chris sununu is supportive of hers. again it comes down to whether any mines were changed.

david, did she amplify some of the issues in this race? >> when you are starting at trying to beat your last performance of losing two none of the above you have a pretty big run runway from which you sy you have improved the reality is unless she wins estates and gets it delegates you don't get to become the nominee. nikki haley is going to have to show she can start winning it delegates if she's going to become the nomination he is not on it so far. we will find out here in a few in the fewdays that she can usee state to get a few victories. let's also keep in mind no presidential nominee republican or democrat can has ever gotten one 100% of th the party in the general election. it really comes down then to how many independents and persuadable democrats can donald trump big into the republican side and that's of these next couple months are going to be about for the trump campaign. >> it is the independence that we knew a presidential race.

all right we have to say goodbye, thank you both. >> thank you very much. jon: meantime former president trump lashed out again last night at the new york judge and has a staggering three or 50 million-dollar ruling against trump. >> the decision yesterday in new york you may have read about it crooked judge, crooked judge he is a crooked judge. by a radical left wing joe was lawless unconstitutional atrocity that sets fire to our laws like no one's ever seen this country before. >> we will get new reactions out ruling in trump's comments coming up south carolina congresswoman nancy mason. be sure to tune in tuesday night 7:00 p.m. for trump's exclusive fox news town hall with laura ingraham as moderator. okay back to minnesota were two police officers in the first responder were gunned it down in the line of duty early this

in injured but is expected to recover. >> this is a hard day it is a really hard day for public safety family. we are hurting. we are hurting. today at three members of our team made the ultimate sacrifice. they are heroes. >> the shooting took place in burnsville about 15 miles south of minneapolis. that the seemingly quiet neighborhood firefighters and ambulances and armored vehicles including one that was written with bullet holes. one neighbor said he was startled by the sound of gunshots. >> it actually woke me up there were a few loud bangs that sounded like heavy gunfire it's really scary. i think that happened that close to where you sleep at night is terrible. my kids are not at home this

weekend thank god. >> the governor ordered flags to be at half staff starting tomorrow morning. there is a visual set up for 6:30 p.m. central time tonight to honor those fallen officers and firefighter. jon: just a terrible situation, madison thank you. police are sharing more details about the two people found shot to death on that university of colorado campus in colorado springs pout however many students are concerned about their own safety as a suspect has yet to be identified. the campus is supposed to reopen tomorrow christina coleman has the latest on that mystery. >> yes colorado springs police a just released new information on this double homicide investigation they have now identified the two victims is 26-year-old montgomery of a public, colorado they say she was and not a student at the university however the other

23% have ties to hamas. nearly half of all of its employees have close relatives with official ties to militant groups. south carolina congresswoman nancy mace a member of the house oversight committee. congresswoman thanks so much for being with us. under the trump administration funding was cut off for you and rwa. the biden administration restored that funding, why? and should it? restored that fund to record ins were the highest contributor and by the way looking at the 10% figure looks like they are an extension or arm funding terrorism against israel. we should not be finding them in any way, shape, form at this time let's take a look at some of the video israel released of what they say is a worker

actually moving a body insight in israeli back on october 7. we have obviously blurred the body but it's pretty appalling if in fact this is the case. >> appalling, disturbing and disgusting we know the biden bie administration has been funding terrorism they tried to give $6 billion in cash to ironic just six months ago this is a huge problem for joe biden. that puts the national secured at risk not just for the nine states of rallies around the world. >> on college campuses all over the country people are calling for more aid it to the palestins as a result of the israeli counterattack. and yet israel released this video of supplies being stored in hamas tunnels. the supplier, the aid that is supposed to be going to help the

palestinian people seems to be going directly to hamas. >> no one should be surprised at unfortunately what this has done a show on the american people some of them on the left to they really are pit supporters and sympathizers with the races, bigots and anti-semites. this is a huge national security risk it's really important that we educate especially young people the truth about what is going on in israel how terrorism has killed jews for decades. hundreds and thousands of years. jon: let's turn our attention to the campaign trail and a former president trump's legal troubles. he was talking about the new york judges ruling in the civil case. the judge was a former presidet to pay more than $300 million as a result of the civil conviction inflating the value of its real estate holdings. what is your response to the

judge's ruling at success of any have no victims went to continued to do business and did not see anything wrong we will see this on appeal but it shows there is a two-tiered system of justice here. joe biden had a loan supposedly have loans without documentation, money funneled from adversaries like a china into his bank account and bank accounts of his family including children and grandchildren. where's that investigation? where's that conviction of the evidence is everywhere of joe biden's corruption? it just goes to show there is a two-tiered system of justice in this country. jon: the church judge also saie former president cannot hold office that is cannot run a corporation or a company in new york for the next couple of years, your thoughts? we also saw some of the kids complain they should not have been involved in the lawsuit but

what you are seeing looks like an activist judge we have seen that in colorado and the supreme court just rebuked those of judges. we are seeing that all over the place right now. activist judges taking on donald trump. what i do know about donald trump is that he is a fighter and he cares about our country hery sine american in putting our needs first over anybody else's regardless of your party and political affiliation he is who america needs right now. ask eric congresswoman nancy mason republican of south carolina thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >> from the courtroom to the campaign trail former president trump was all smiles at sneaker con in philadelphia he unveiled a new line the gold trump branded high tops with a 400-dollar price tag. matalin reports on the twists and turns of the term campaign. >> a slew of legal challenges is not made a dent in former president trump to lead the

contributions to pay for his personal court cases. now when you look at that the part i worry about was the rnc is now going to be the piggy bank for trump's legal fees. the rnc is almost broke already. >> trump is looking to make inroads with voters in michigan were president biden is facing growing criticism among arab-american voters for his support of israel and its war against hamas. fox news poll shows trump leading biden 47 -- 45% in the state. the two-point edge well within the margin of error. jon: madeline, thanks. the main assessment in the disappearance of madeline but not for that case that story and a trip around the globe when the fox report returns. ♪are you ready for me♪ ♪are you ready♪ ♪are you ready♪
