i don't feel like that's ben carson.m with you to be a capable vp, capable to be president but not necessarily passing the baton for the guy that'll run in 2028. trump doesn't want to be overshadowed on day one by a future candidacy, and he shouldn't be because there's a lot of work to be done. i hadn't thought about ben carson, but the more you think about, interesting. rachel: i tell you what, i thought about that if he had been the vice president last time, i sure would have liked him in charge of the covid handling -- pete: sure. great point. and he's a maga, america-first guy. so getting rid of trump doesn't mean you want -- will: on thursday's edition of the will cain show, check it out at a will cain hoe.com, i had congressman chip roy who said two things that you've said this morning. he said i think that the candidate could be not on the list you are discussing, will, which is something you told us a little bit earlier. rachel: i thought that too. will: and he specifically did mention ben carson as well. pete: r

maybe it's easy to forget ben carson since ben carson doesn't even remember ben carson.orget his own name if he left his driver's license in his suitcase, which if you recall has probably happened. >> we just saw mr. trump here and i asked, "him how did it go?" he said, "great," he said he learned a lot of things. what do you think you took away from today? >> my luggage. um -- hold on. >> okay. looks like dr. carson is going to try and find his luggage. [ laughter ] >> seth: remember that? eight years ago. still the greatest clip in the history of politics. oh, like the best is he realized he forgot his luggage. he's like, "what can i say to make a cool exit? oh, my luggage." that's the guy who wants to stage a hostile right-wing takeover of the government and dictate to you how to live your life. the guy who stopped mid-interview to go back to the carousel at baggage claim. so maybe trump doesn't remember ben carson, but surely, he remembers stephen miller. i mean, how can you forget. that's like watching "the quiet place" prequel, and not immediately recognizing the m

i thought ben carson was very strong. he talked about all of the weapons that have been tried to be used leading up to the assassination against this former or president. really powerful from all of the speakers tonight, i thought, and it was another very strong evening. bret: let's bring in our panel, brit hume, dana perino and harold ford jr. brit, your thoughts? >> it is often said that money is the mother's milk of politics, but there is a force at least as important and that is emotion. political conventions invariably strive for that. they strive to inspire the delegates is and to the larger television audience, they strive for a feeling. and tonight particularly in the speeches you just referenced, you and bret were just talking about those ordinary if americans -- by those the ordinary americans. it was clear that the speakers had the convention hall in their grip, they had the audience in hair grip, i think,9 and the audience beyond in their grip. it is emotion of that kind, you could feel it in this hall tonker

ben carson and mark robinson.r 20 seconds and leave the stage if that's okay. no, but thank you so much here i did used to work for the mainstream media. i did realize how bad it was becoming a new it was a liberal bastion and that you know if you with a one or two conservative voices in the news of you had kind of try to balance things out a little bit. thankfully i was the last line of defense because i was the news anchor that read the news and told people what was happening. and it was during covid and unfortunate i was living in governor kristi noem stick and were living in a state that cut lockdown twice. it was during covid that they separate as out from the newsroom and said, sent part of the sums we would spread covid and i got sent home to set up a home studio and report the news for for a number of months. and during that time churches were closed. our church was by appointment only and i really started feeling i you because everything started feeling very out of control. get back to church, get my butt

carson, those that hate trump because ben carson is solidly america first. more i thought about it, that seems like something that would work. >> when i saw the names of the pictures that are people on the list right now, i think it sounds like trump to pull a wildcard and pick someone who's not on the list. >> probably more likely someone not. that's my thought right now. will: he wants to announce on wednesday, my husband sean is looking at the schedule of events and there's a lot of ohio people scheduled to speak on wednesday. that got -- maybe it's j d vance. people are leaning towards that but i think trump loves to surprise and there might be somebody not on that list. still thinking maybe vivek. maybe maybe. can i tell you this? i do think vivek would be great with millennials and you were talking about polling, i saw a pew poll, his numbers are the worst among young people, joe biden's, there's an opportunity to win over younger people if republicans play it right, not necessarily that vivek is the only way to do that but president biden cannot depen

even ben carson. you never really know who he is going to select and even if he selects someone on the list. the list is 10 or 12 long. our best indication it is -- is it is narrowed down to those three. it looks as if j.d. vance is the favorite to be his pick. and then, it appears bergen second and rubio third. host: one of your maria's -- most recent pieces was on j.d. vance. explain. guest: vance has it so in the bag, what can sandbag him? trump does not like facial hair. trump has not mentioned this to vance himself. when he was asked about it afterwards on fox, he said j.d. vance like a young abraham lincoln with the beard, he loves it. trump is very interested in looks and ability. on camera and on those two counts, vance scores highly. so does bergen and rubio for trump. in the end, it does look like vance has the support of the online right, tucker carlson and the like, he also has the backing of the president's son and namesake, don, jr. even roger stone, the lungs on-and-off advisor for dona

. >> this situation wolf blitzer week night at six, cnn tonight in a new interview, trump, ally ben carson is slamming vice president kamala harris and warning that some may be trying to defi her. >> listen this is this is going to be a great test of the power of the media to take someone who formerly was universally disliked and transform them into a godlike figure and they will use everything that they have to try to do that i know the media is going to do everything to make her seem like martin luther king and a different body but i think people maybe are not going to be as easy to manipulate as back with my panel and just to note, i mean in the republican party currently donald trump is the one who gets the godlike status, right? >> for sure. but any validity to the point that he's making well, i mean, what they're clearly trying to do is take the democratic arguments so it will take the arguments that trump had risen, lazarus, like from the terrible assassination attempts on him where he was being deified, weather extraordinary religious images, all over the rnc and use it against kam

i think ben carson. larry: ben carson? >> interesting. think about this, african-american helps.igan. that could help. he has the greatest temperament of any politician. think about joe biden in his condition running against a brain surgeon. larry: [laughter]. >> set that up perfectly. larry: that was very good. i'm flat-out of time. five seconds, joe concha, vice president? >> marco rubio. i just love the fact we turned this into "the apprentice" where trump is stretching it out to the very end. at the end instead of getting a rose you get a red maga hat. larry: also five seconds vice president. >> nobody knows but donald trump. i'm not sure if he is sure of it yet but nobody is real sure. larry: i love ben carson, makes the cutting-edge analysis, ha, ha. joe concha, mark simone, david webb, terrific stuff. coming up next, the aforementioned marco rubio who was a leading light at the trump rally in miami, florida, last night. senator rubio joins us next right here on "kudlow," along with edith wilson. progressive makes it easy to save with a quick commercial auto quote online. s

dr ben carson on what we can expect to hear coming up. then, did... fan for president joe biden? is the white house now worrying? welcome everybody. i was worried about certain terms. lots to get to but let's get to the big story of the moment what we are learning about what went down in pennsylvania. >> we know the secret service has said that local authorities were responsible for securing everything outside of the secret service secure perimeter. what is not clear right now, neil, is how many local agencies were a part of this effort. in the meantime the township commissioner edward is clarifying the role of at least one local agency. he wrote on facebook quotes, the butler township police department had no security detail for this event. there were seven officers all assigned to traffic detail period. the butler township police department is not responsible for securing the agr or any other location. anybody who sees so, reports on it is a blind or covering their own backside. loud and clear. he went on to say that the butler township officers who

this is not a juggernaut candidate. >> martha: let's bring in doctor ben carson founder and chairman a great speech at the convention earlier this week. good to have you with us today. i haven't had a chance to get your reaction to the speech last night. it was quite long but it was a big night for the republican convention and former president. what did you think of the speech? >> thank you for having me. i thought it was a very good speech. the tone was just right. he didn't have anything that was caustic. there's a great theme of unity which is so critically important. our nation is being torn apart. instead of love your neighbour it is counsel your neighbour if they disagree with you. we really need to change that tone. because if you look historically at other nations who have gone down the path of division it usually doesn't end up very well we have an opportunity to change that and he realizes that and since the incident last saturday i think it's all attitude that's changed. i've talked to him and he seems to realize he's been given another chance to do something great for a

ben carson, thank you so much for joining us.re a monk of --among a handful of a dozen of people who served in trump's cabinet during his time in office who say that he deserves to be reelected. former secretary of defense jim mattis, former national security advisor john bolton, h.r. mcmaster, former secretary of state rex tillerson, john kelly, former attorney general bill barr, all say that donald trump is not fit to serve. why, in your view, are all of those men wrong? dr. carson: i think they are looking more at the person and at the personality and not so much at what he was able to accomplish. i would say it is akin to if you were patient with a terrible disease that required a good surgeon. would you rather have the one who has terrible bedside manner and saves everybody or the one with the sweetest words who kills everybody? geoff: what is your assessment of donald trump as a person and his personality? dr. carson: his personality is similar to what you would see in a manhattan businessman. somebody who lives in a doggy

vance, loves marco rubio as well. >> brian: what did ben carson ever accomplish? brain surgery?ust a clear record? he didn't come up with zero weeks. he signed it. >> ainsley: they put that the in campaign ad trying to get women and independent voters. that makes it a little bit more complicated. great job. i wai was interested in what hed about rubio. i hadn't heard that if he pulled him and his vp he would lose delegates? >> brian: florida delegates. i talked to lindsey graham yesterday a lawyer. he doesn't think it's an issue. look at the legislation and words. if he goes and moves to washington. he would immediately give up the seat. desantis would fill it. and he would -- i don't think senator rubio loved being senator anyway. run for president. >> lawrence: he was set to, after he ran for president, he was -- he didn't run for re-election. the desantis was set to take on that seat in the senate. and then they were concerned about losing the seat, so donald trump encouraged him to run for that senate seat for re-election. and then desantis run for governor. >> ainsley: are

vance, 40 to ben carson. map, it's silly. none of that stuff matters. the vp never matters. the vp could probably hurt. the vp pick what really matters who is spending every single day on the campaign trail and then every day in the white house with the president. who does he want to have lunch with. when i -- when covid was happening and i was in the oval office, and i was in the white house, mike pence was in there. president trump trusted him to lead that task force. it comes down to personality. i think that president trump -- former president trump gets along with jfd vance and ben car is on the best one-on-one they like each other. >> bret: all right. what have you got? 100 bucks? >> my theory is that donald trump really doesn't like senators. doesn't like politicians that much. so he prefers to have people who have been in other worlds first. because of that, i'm putting i didn't coordinate i promise with chris. i'm putting half my chips on doug burgum. another portion on ben carson. but then i also ha

ben carson. ben carson. the only one of the, you know, people announced as a potential vice president who he now follows. so was that just a head fake or did he decide, you know what? i'm thinking. >> ainsley: marco rubio very experienced, run for president before. it has -- incredible story of his parents leaving cuba and their success. and you have j.d. vance, hillbilly elegy incredible story. he has only been senator for a manipulate. at love americans might like that. is he not a typical politician. businessman, made a lot of money, very smart. went to law school at yale. two different candidates if it is those two. >> steve: my wife thinks it's something we are not even talking about. >> guy: could be. >> ainsley: talk about this storm that did hit the coast of texas. a fox weather alert. beryl is barreling through eastern texas with life-threatening storm surge this morning since making landfall as a category 1 hurricane early this morning. >> steve: the problem is the storm surge and there

he knows who ben carson is.peter navorro is these are people that served in the administration, and she's spoken about them and the foundation in the past. >> they helped with his 2016 transition. they helped phil out the administration the first go around. he spoke at a dinner in washington, d.c. that i was at with the heritage foundation in 2017. and i want to let you listen from another dinner of heritage foundation that he attended in 2022 because he was giving a tip of the cap to the very project that they were working on, project 2025, before they ultimately published in 2023. take a listen. >> it was our country is going to hell. the critical job of institutions such as heritage just to lay the groundwork. heritage does such an incredible job. this is a great group. they are going to i lay the groundwork and detail plans for what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the american people give us a colossal mandate to save america. that's coming. >> that's coming. and it did. it came out

carson because nlc, no matter where you come from the matter the money or your procedure would have case may be have a biased judge, allies d and unbiased jury, doesn't matter. can fall on you. well for israel and its put, this case has put more people and allies on some of the things that minorities and poor whites of also faced as well, to. >> host: just to update our viewers, , some breaking news tt is just come in. this is cnn.com that's reporting that the judge dismisses the classified documents case against donald trump. it says that judge eileen cannon dismissed the classified documents case in a ruling today, she said the appointment special counsel jack smith violated the constitution, quote, in the end it seems the executive growing comfort in appointing court regulatory special counsel's in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc powder and with little judicial scrutiny. so that is a developing story. we'll keep you updated on that but that case has now been dismissed. let's talk to ray -- >> guest: amen. >> host: syracuse, new york, go ahead, ray, good morning, mr. ow

ben carson.served as secretary of housing and urban development during the trump administration. dr. carson, a pleasure to have you on. thanks for joining us. there were a lot of folks in those groups that vivek ramaswamy wants to address tonight. black voters, younger voters, immigrants, that in the first trump administration felt alienated and felt attacked what do you think the former president needs to do to bring those voters in? and to better address their concerns in a potential second, trump administration well, i think one of the reasons there you see a lot of minority people moving for trump because they saw initiation that he tended to believe that a rising tide floats necessarily pick one another in terms of benefits for them i think people are starting to peak but i'm very hopeful that people on all sides will begin to realize that we're all americans and stop trying to divide us on the basis of race, age, income the political affiliation doesn't work because house divided against it

but you've got ben carson listed in here. you have the former deputy secretary of dhs, the acting secretary. ken cuccinelli elian here writing about integration and dhs. so then ben carson, come on, he's been out there on the campaign trail with the president. so i think this is just ludicrous, but i think what this is telling us is that donald trump knows that what is written in this plan is so extreme that it is damaging to his possibility of getting elected. and that's what he's he's concerned about. project 2025 for those who don't know is over 900 pages long but it does give very specific instructions on how to replace federal jobs with political appointees dismantle the department of education, other federal agencies expand executive power and banned the abortion pill, mifepristone nationwide is this a winning strategy for conservatives? >> now, i don't think so. i mean, look, i am a conservative-leaning into visual eye. i'm a lifelong republican but when i think of the traditional tenants of the gop, i think of fiscal

stephen miller, my friend stephen miller, former secretary, ben carson but a fantastic job everybody loves him i love him. >> now, as for trump's other claim that he doesn't know anything about the project. let's just deconstruct that sentence on its surface, quote, i know nothing about project 2025 but then he goes on to say he disagrees with some of the things that they're saying. he knows nothing about it, but disagrees with it first, the heritage says the foundation briefed all of the republican candidates on the project, including trump himself. in fact, the heritage president reportedly installed trump's advisers on purpose, knowing the trump prioritizes personal loyalty over policy and when trump says that some of the ideas are ridiculous and abysmal well, some of that is perhaps believable given his waffling on issues like abortion, much of the project lines up completely with trump's own promises now, this is hardly an exhaustive list, but they include killing the department of education crushing the independence of the fbi and the doj, the mass firings of civil servants. an

. >> right now, the crowd is listening to ben carson, former hud secretary in the trump administration. let's go back to the floor. >> do not be afraid or fear not, it appears 365 times in scripture, a reminder to live each day with faith, hope and joy, as joyful warriors for [ cheers and applause ] and when god is with us, nobody can stand against us. with this assurance from the almighty, even the face of evil itself cannot shake our resolve. we will keep fighting. we will keep praying. and by the grace of god, we will save our country and reelect president trump together with vice president vance this november, and i want you to remember this, in 1831, elections came to america to study our nation because the europeans were fascinated. they wanted to know how could a nation barely 50 years old already compete with them on virtually every level. so he looked at our government, and he was dually impressed by our checks and balances and separation of powers, and then he looked at our business environment, and he was dually impressed by how we encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.

especially when several former white house officials like ben carson, peter navarro, are all involved with the organization. the director of project 2025, paul dan's, also worked as a senior aide. even top trump allies like his national press secretary and stephen miller, his former senior advisor, both appeared in a heritage video promoting project 2025. whether trump likes it or not, this authoritarian blueprint for america has been mainstreamed within the gop and you would think democrats would be doing everything in their power to expose it. so where have they been? a little slow to the game. hours before biden's debate this week, his campaign launched a website targeting project 2025, but biden did not mention it at all during the debate, nor has he mentioned it at the other two rallies he held since then, including last night's interview with george stephanopoulos. it wasn't until today that biden put out a statement slamming project 2025, saying it should scare every american. meanwhile vice president kamala harris, chuck schumer and house minority leader hakeem jeffries have f

towards the end of the evening, we heard from former secretary ben carson, whose face had apparentlyabout america's standing abroad. >> ask anyone around the world, what does it mean to be an american, most will tell you that it means unlimited opportunity. >> stephen: so close! it's unlimited breadsticks. tonight's theme of safety didn't get off to a great start, when this happened: giuliani strolls onto the floor of the convention, and down goes rudy! "mr. mayor! mr. mayor! are you okay? is there a doctor in the house? or a sommelier?" now, it looks like rudy fell down, but he might have been just looking for a place to crash. see, rudy's in a bit of a financial pinch. he owes 148 million dollars from a defamation lawsuit, so he declared bankruptcy to protect his assets. but on friday, the judge dismissed his bankruptcy case, which creditors to try to seize his assets. which won't be hard to do -- most of rudy's assets are liquid. merlot, cabernet, listerine. and creditors can now take anything rudy owns, including a mercedes-benz, his collection of 26 luxury watches, and three wor

i enjoyed ben carson.njoyed the couple that did the wrap -- did the rap, but i think america needs to remember that he did not obey the law. i know he has a good heart, and hopefully because of the traumatic assassination attempt, he might have changed his whole outlook and unified us together, but, remember, he did do something wrong. a leader should obey all of the rules and laws of the land, and he did not do that, but i did enjoy listening to the conversation of the normal americans versus the candidates. i did enjoy that. >> all right, the everyday americans. if you miss the everyday americans or missed seeing any part of tonight's convention, we are going to re-air the convention coming up at the top of the hour, and you can watch it in its entirety then. we have mike from milwaukee, a republican. have you been coming down to the fiserv forum? >> yes, i have been, but tonight i could not make it down. can you hear me? >> ok, when were you down here? were you down here yesterday? >> yeah, i was down t

ben carson possible trump vice presidential pick. former hud secretary and retired neurosurgeon.carson, you are pretty darn smart on this stuff. you got the credentials. you see what's going on with joe biden what's your take on what is happening? >> it's almost funny because the mainstream media actually great revelation after the debate. myself and many others have been talking about this condition that he has had for years now. and there has been plenty of evidence that he has it. and we're in a situation now where you think about this. what if you have built this great company. you have worked so hard, your family had worked hard. would you turn it over to him to be the ceo? i don't think most people. we yet we are asking him to be the ceo of our country. presidents are chosen because of their cognitive skills. not in spite of them. >> jason: good point. >> it's very, very simple to do a cognitive test and part of a complete physical examination. so, they say that they have released his medical records but they didn't release that. >> jason: today on cnn brian stelter made th

we heard from governor sarah huckabee sanders, governor of arkansas, doctor ben carson, senator marco rubio, all had very interesting lines and delivery, however earlier we heard from every day americans that really hit home. a woman lost her son to fentanyl. she says it wasn't an overdose but a poisoning and she brought this convention hall to tears telling that story, pleading that donald trump become the next president of the united states. madeleine said her son died in new york and saying she is so sick and tired of being sick and tired, took the floor to another level. those everyday american stories before all of the speeches we just heard really were powerful tonight as they were last night. >> martha: i thought then carson was also very strong, talking about isaiah, talking about all of the weapons that have tried to be used leading up to the assassination against the former president. really powerful from all of the speakers tonight i thought. a very strong evening. >> bret: let's bring in our panel. >> it's often said that money is the mother's milk of politics but there's

ben carson? how are you going to tell me that donald trump don't know nothing about project 2025 when he went out on the campaign trail with and carson? who are they fooling? who? >> they are not fooling anyone. it is just the thing that donald trump says and his followers believe. they believe anything he says even though none of us does. it is one of those things where you cannot have a discussion with a trump or because they do not accept reality. they don't accept facts. and in the old days, we used to have discussions about the meaning of facts and the policies that should come from them. we didn't debate them. we all agreed on them. that is one of the more serious problems we have in america right now. that facts are being ignored. >> all right. , jill wine-banks, thank you for joining after >>> ahead, the latest reaction to president biden's prime-time interview. that is next on "the weekend." than tylenol rapid release gels because advil targets pain at the source of inflammation. so for
