new hampshire governor chris sununu. welcome to fox and david cook's good morning brother. trace: i want to start this cdc review and covid-19 response. they admitted they have at times put out confusing guidance to say the least. now they rapid response you have been a governor navigating this pandemic. is that enough for you? do you think with this they can rebuild public trust? >> did we really need a taxpayer-funded external review to determine the cdc is all over the place? they say one thing they do another they tell us one thing privately they do another. these guys have been constantly backtracking. i guess the only good take away here as they are acknowledging it. they're starting to realize we are really out of this pandemic. we are moving forward as a pet as a country. local control or going to have

covid surges common question work of course we are we have the tools now we have therapeutics of all these tools in our toolbox now. so it's a great they're finally acknowledging it. something the rest of america has acknowledged for the last 18 months. we have the recent talk about public trust serves only a few months ago the cdc director also came out and said listen, when we said to follow the science we never said the science was exact. my response would be you kind of did say the science was exact. those who failed to comply were all listed at police from the left listed as public health threats. >> look, when officials come out from the national government and talk about science there is an implied understanding was a guy that went to mit and studied a lot of science and engineering, when you say the word to science you say deity say we know it's happening, we understand it here's the response that we need. you cannot come back out and say

something totally different on the road. most importantly we do not want to have the cdc people have no trust in the cdc but we do not want that but in portland that is where we are today. as a governor is on the cause of the cdc director roma calls with the white house, would hear one thing on the phone, something totally different would happen next week. mass confusion. as the governors during the height of the pandemic, we really had to buckle down and do it was good for our citizens make our citizens but we kind up listen to what they said i hear you but this is what we are seeing on the ground we had to make decisions for our citizens but overall governors did a very, very good job or at least in the red states. i cannot speak for some the blue states with the excessive lockdowns because again they kept doing whatever the white house and the cdc was telling them one week on shifting the next leg eroding trust with what should be a really responsive branch of government. >> we talked about children earlier the cdc out new covid guidelines for schools justice kids are back to the classrooms prayer they no longer recommend

routine testing for grades k through of course community transmission is height. do you support that change governor? >> look, local schools and parents had to make decisions for themselves or i live in new hampshire live free and die state. we believe in local control schools making those decisions for themselves were not have the federal or the state government come down and push certain answers onto them in certain protocols onto them. especially where we are now knowing we have all these tools in the toolbox knowing folks are working collaboratively with their school districts collaboratively with parents understood the issues are, local controls definitely the right approach. >> the other major back-to-school story this week is the big teacher shortage in the u.s., national we are talking 280,000 countrywide fewer teachers than there were before the pandemic. it is interesting because in new hampshire and your set you've actually renewed more education credentials this year.

so what is exactly drive the trend nationally? what are you doing differently in new hampshire to have different results? >> whether it's teachers, nurses, there's a couple professions or that of absolute burned out street and we understand that nationally after what's happened over the past couple of years. in new hampshire we are different. on that local control we work collaboratively we do not fight it. we put more dollars in public education for students than ever before and we pass a school choice. we are crating more opportunities for kids in public schools to get credentialed in a workforce type environment that they want to enter into but were not just doing things traditionally. when you support that local aspect and you inspire creativity, you let teachers have some say it working with those parents, local control is really the answer for it and send the government gets overly involved in education, normally does not go well. we take that pushback approach what we believe and parents and teachers. teachers want to be are the only state in new england it's growing in population paired

businesses are flooding in. we really focus on the individuals. individual towns and individual schools. because the rising tide floats all boats here in new hampshire break the strongest economy in the country. in the first quarter of 22 we are one of the only states of the positive gdp. everything is driving forward in a positive direction. we don't get caught up in the overly political aspects of things. glenn youngkin had it right, parents matter and teachers matter they all matter they have to work collaboratively were able to foster that here and proud of the fact we've been able to increase the number teachers of the past couple of years. >> interesting you use the phrase creating opportunity. i want to get your take, when you make a florida governor desantis proposal to recruit military veterans and first responders without teaching degrees to help fill those vacancies out of florida? x look, i love the idea of focusing on military. focusing on veterans, focusing

on folks with real-world experience. you get them into the classrooms you get them into a job because of the credentialing process for their states that you want to be a teacher take the lead literally years to be credentialed even if you have been one before prayer they have a whole progress and rigmarole. streamline the process whether it's teachers, manufacturers, that is an opportunity every state has. were doing it here we are streamlining our whole thing for thinker reciprocity with places like massachusetts, maine and vermont makes it very easy for folks to come over the border which is one of the reasons we are growing. i love the concept read the country has workforce shortages but let's stop allowing government get in the way of getting these people on the floors in the classrooms or whatever it has to do to give them a job. i get kids or get the product out that's what it's all about but it's not about the system it's about the kids. trace: i want to change it gears midterms to hampshire politics but incumbent maggie is up for reelection achieve the primary weeks away.

it has retired general leading but you said this week he is a conspiracy theorist who really threatens your party's chances at winning back the seats. are you concerned? is there a worry in your party the gop could be missing out on a golden opportunity here? quick center is going to lose and november she spent $25 million or approval rating hasn't moved but i hope she spends 100 million of the democrats money is going to go up in flames here. we've seen other races across the country when you elect the wrong individual it makes it much harder to win in november but you have to have good candidates quality candidates at the end of the day whether running for the planning board, the governor, u.s. senate or president got equality candidates that can cross the line. winning in a primary is nothing it means nothing but you cannot govern if you do not win in november and that's all that matters i focus on winners on the best candidate that can win. would that have the best shot at

beating maggie. @focusing on other candidates frankly because i do not want to happen to new hampshire with already seen happen in other states the gap becomes just too big to recede in pennsylvania unfortunate, and georgia. stilling the republican candidate could win. they're good candidates that hug much harder time but then they should have and what should be a wipeout year. nationally the problem is this. we are talking about things that do not matter to the voters for the voters care about kitchen table issues they care about high prices, the care but inflation, but having options for the kids in school. very important six issue and those are not driving folks to the polls those are not driving folks in the voting booth. we have got to get back in the social media in her kitchen table discussions but if we do that republicans across the board can be very successful. >> you talk about politics here former vice president mike pence visited new hampshire this week

so to republican senator tom cotton, take a look at. a huge roster potential 2024 have visited your state in recent months it's a great state wonder why they are coming. >> is a couple outside the student went to talk to me right now at. [laughter] >> ensure there is begot chris christie, ted cruz, tim scott, it really the list goes on, it is a long way to 2024 getting a bit crowded in the granite state they're knocking on the door trying to get you to help them. what do you make of this? have you talked to anybody about why they are coming to new hampshire? >> yes i talked to all of the candidates that want to come i will happily sit down with all of them. my focus is this, if we do not close the deal 2022 is republicans across this country, you don't close still and 22, 248 going to matter preventive focus on closing this deal crossing the finish line with good can it's winning back the senate very think were going get the house instead of the senate being guaranteed new hampshire could be the 51st vote now to think it's going to be.

we've really got to make sure he close the deal for the other issue is how we campaign here's a little different for you got to look people in the eye the running joke in new hampshire is going to vote for president trump westrick out of i've only met him twice. you've got to built into growth folks on a one on one level in their living rooms in their businesses if you can do that you will be very successful and kind of like the referee if you will be. >> the referee is also very popular in his state. it looks like your race is going very well but my question to you, have you talked with any donors about 2024? >> in terms of a what? who they are going to be supporting question i guess donors come up all the times that we think of this candidate that candidate questioned. >> maybe you are running for something else governor? [laughter] you concerned have always people coming in and they've all said the same thing. you know if chris sununu runs that changes everything. >> it is true.

no. no look it's all flattering, people are talking i get it. twenty-two is my message to everyone in this country but stopped wearing about 24, stop wearing buttons running for president. knock on doors, pick up the phone that has to be done they'll have plenty of time for 22 but as we all know politics goes quickly the political landscape will be totally different one year from now but in even that will be six months before the first the nature primary of new hampshire a long ways to go over. >> you often mention mar-a-lago you said you're not anti- trumpet many have also said you have been somewhat of a thorn in the former president sieber he was a new hampshire former vice president mike pence touched on the backlash after the update search mar-a-lago, here he is, watch regards our party sins of the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level. in these attacks on the fbi must stop.

calls to defend the fb are just as wrong as calls to defund the police. >> what do you make of the search of mar-a-lago and of this fierce backlash? quick so, couple of things. i think the biggest issues we have all been talking about for the fact you're going to going to former presidents house clearly biden and carlin had no strategy, no anticipation were going to take unprecedented action but we better have an unprecedented plan for disclosure for the fact we are weeks in now, they're not showing any cards are not showing anything for the lack of transparency is infuriating pray that is where they've absolutely blown it and they've lost the trust of the american people because it just looks political. i get this whole thing you don't disclose thing and it's an active investigation read that should've been thought of before but if they did not anticipate this type of response from the american people they are morons, they really are their absolute fools. you cannot walk into a former president's home, read his home like that and then say it will

get back to you later. not acceptable to the american people. i think vice president pence, mike pence by the way great guy, did a phenomenal job as vice president breeds absolutely right we should be talk about defunding police and republicans we are republicans we support law enforcement every single time for the strategy of the top is been a disaster per they have to on that. physics new hampshire governor chris sununu we thank you for your time this weekend. >> you bet. >> up next the president signed his massive climate tax bill into law a critics debate whether it will help lower inflation or make it worse. we will discuss with energy we will discuss with energy secretary jennifer granholm

trace: white house says help was on the way for working families because of the newly signed inflation reduction act including lower cost for healthcare and energy. will some of those tax credits and get to the people who could use them the most? what is not u.s. energy secretary jennifer granholm. secretary welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thanks so much. trace: you have said in recent weeks new hope gas prices will continue to fall. but now nbc is reporting this morning and i am quoting here, behind the word prices could rise again as they keep looking for ways to get more oil on the market. given the issues with refinery capacity and the war in ukraine, can you give us, secretary, any more certainty that prices will keep falling? >> yes, juno gasoline comes from oil, oil is traded on a global

market. we are at the whim, if you will of what happens global effort however, this president has moved in dramatic ways to increase supply by releasing 1 million barrels per day from our strategic petroleum reserve as well as calling on our domestic producers as well as international producers. we will be at record amounts of production next year. all of that is to say our energy information administration has projected by the fourth quarter gas prices will be around $3.87 on average for today there about $3.78 today there 3090 cents. they all and every day of the summer but we are hoping that will continue. but if china opens up significantly after covid there will be more pressure on demand, more pressure on demand meets upward pressure on prices. we are watching what happens globally for it we are doing everything possible to try to stabilize supply and demand to keep those prices coming down.

trace: the bottom of the screen says gas prices falling below $4 per it's worth noting a lot of places around this country can california gas is still right near $6 a gallon. different places different situations. going to keep going on this article goes on quoting to say there is no indication biden's other efforts publicly shaming oil and gas companies over there record profits calling an emergency meeting with ceos and threatening to pull unused drilling permits have had any effect on price or production according to industry experts breeds out national gas prices as we said below $4 nationally on average for the first time since march. but the treasury department said last month he releases from the strategic oil reserve only lowered gas by anywhere from 17 cents -- 42 cents a gallon, what do you make of that? >> well, first of all the prices have draped as you say more than a dollar. they are now it $3.98 there were

over $4 for it so clearly there has been an impact on increase in production. the present hasn't two things, the release of a million barrels per day was the biggest tool at our disposal. this is all about supply and demand sprayed when russia invaded ukraine that pulled the millions of barrels off of the global market since oil is traded globally we have to make up for that lost amount of fuel. that is why the president has called for this increase in releasing an increase in production. we will be at record at production 12.7 million barrels per day by next year. trace: i want to move onto the inflation reduction act signed this week. includes tax credits for people who by electric vehicles. but as you know, one of the critiques here with these credits is the prices are high right? and the supply is limited. what is the practicality? it seems there is a disconnect. what is the practicality for everyday americans with this

kind of benefit? >> great question. two implications here. one is for example if you want to buy a used electric vehicle, you can get $4000 off at the dealership today. if you want to buy a new electric vehicle there is $87500 credit for those that are assembled in america so today there are 21 models that are assembled in america. but additional restrictions will kick in starting in january requiring domestic content. meaning the materials, the supplies for those vehicles will also have to be built in america. why is this important? because the president has said we need to manufacture stuff in america. we cannot rely upon countries who do not share our values for the batteries for example for electric vehicles which contain critical minerals critical materials but he wants to read short manufacturing. it's not just electric vehicles for this inflation reduction act

provides credits to businesses to incentivize them to reassure in america. i'm a former governor of michigan. the notion of creating and enhancing our manufacturing base, or manufacturing backbone is huge. it will be in the solar panels. it will be in wind turbines but it will be in transmission. it will be an electric nichols and the batteries for those electric vehicles for it a whole chain and ecosystem, energy ecosystem built up in the united states because of the incentives in this inflation reduction act. trace: you talk about incentives and maybe it's the messaging, people don't quite get it. we have had fox asked people they plan to take advantage of the tax credit for it here's what they told us will get your response on the other side, watch. >> i personally wouldn't buy an electric current that much money precook them out and going to think about it. we do not have the income available to buy a new car even with the incentive for quick so it $7500? against the cost of an

electronic car? works really you could make the same argument we were talking about tax breaks for adding solar panels, energy-efficient windows, appliances, heat pumps. what do you say to the families who simply cannot afford the stuff in the first place? >> well, number one for your home there are significant incentives in this bill which is a great to reduce people's energy cost on a monthly basis. so if you are at low income you can get your home entirely weatherized through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure law is significant instead expansion you do not to pay for anything. if you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered. if you are a moderate income, today it you can get 30% off the price of solar panels both solar panels can be financed you do not have to have the big outlay at the front. and when they are financed they are financed in a way that

reduces your energy bill even though you have solar panels with this 30% off it is a significant incentive. same thing if you don't qualify for that weatherization program, he will be able to, starting next year, get rebates on the appliances and equipment that will help you reduce your monthly energy bill by up to 30%. it's all about reducing costs for people. >> and yet the electricity prices continue to go up, secretary, governor and you know this but you have dealt with these problems. how do you get electricity to various states? i was talking to governor sununu earlier. he was pointing out to build a transition line especially interstate transmission line you are talking seven -- 15 years. the prices keep rising bread that's a major problem when you're telling people to buy electric cars and then wondering how you're going to get them electricity to power those cars. >> okay, first of all number one

you are totally right about permitting it is ridiculous. part of the inflation reduction act is driving towards reducing permitting times it's a second bill that will follow in september. and, the inflation reduction act also provides incentives to lower the time, the cost and the wait time for permitting. that was just given to us. we want to accelerate this push to clean electricity. the reason why we wanted to be clean in addition to the climate is because solar and wind are cheaper in most places across the world. but definitely in the u.s. for. >> but they are unreliable secretary. >> know they are not unreliable. >> they are on reliable on the grid because it takes a lot of energy, electricity to get them into the grid or fossil fuel to get them onto the grid. if you do not have at night time we do not have the battery power to store it. you have to use it or you lose it. it is on reliable and states like texas they found out. that is a problem we need to

come up with battery-powered to store that stuff. it's okay, texas is the largest producer of both wind and solar or one and two. they are extremely important to adding clean energy to our grid but with respect to the intermittency you say there unreliable for they are intermittent the sun does not always shine and the wind is not always a blow. but the battery technology that stores that, that is also incentivized in this inflation reduction act. the technology is there we just need to make sure it is implemented. the great thing is when you combine solar or wind with the battery technology that becomes like baseload power. that is reliable which is very exciting. other forms of clean energy are also incentivized like nuclear power like hydroelectric power, like geothermal power. all of those are also incentivized in the inflation reduction act which will make us as a nation energy independent print which will allow us to get

to our goals of one 100% clean electricity by 2035. net zero carbon pollution which causes climate change by 2050. >> it also seems to meet nuclear power has been villa nice and incentivize at the same time. finally, i know this is not your agency but as a former governor i wanted to get your take your reaction to the cdc this week coming out over how they handled the pandemic. governance across the country followed one with the cdc day by day guidance often following the masked mandates, the school closures. it impacted every american and many are still really confused but if you could put your governor's hat back very quickly for us, is this explanation enough of the cdc? >> well, they are taking action to correct and i applied any agency any governor any news organization that decides they have got to improve it. good for them they have acknowledged it in their moving

forward progress secretary granholm thank you for your time we appreciate it. >> you bet. trace: cap next and just days because the unsealed documents with details on why the fbi search former president trump's mar-a-lago home. we will bring in our sunday group on the search and the fallout, and what is next.

when kids need medical care, they will often face stressful and life-changing experiences.

from long treatments to hospital stays, they will miss out on the things that make being a kid fun. since 1982, starlight children's foundation transformed the in-hospital experience for 17 million seriously ill kids in 800 children's hospitals and facilities across the united states. our state-of-the-art programs like starlight virtual reality, starlight hospital wear, and starlight gaming allow kids to experience a moment of happiness, no matter the circumstance, so they can enjoy being a kid. learn more at starlight.org. that's starlight.org tricks with the agency up to the task of how this pandemic? >> made some pretty public mistakes and we need to on them. seven cdc director admitted her

gave overwhelming guidance from the covid-19 pandemic. and it is time now for our sunday group former utah congressman fox news contributor jason chaffetz. , jessica tarlov and fox news analyst juan williams. jason, to you first. cdc admitted some of their covid guidance was confusing and overwhelming. so they are reorganizing and promising more plain language. my question to you is how should americans feel about this? you could not disagree with the cdc, jason or you were banned from social media. you are called a public health threat. you had to comply. >> yes, you had to comply if you didn't your demonized and literally shut down on social media. until the agency has a sweeping change at the top that they change management and put out

new faces this administration will continue to struggle. and it is sad the centers for disease control and there truly is something dramatic going on to have confidence of the american people. they lost that trust they deserve to be fired. >> this reversal wasn't validated who really resisted the heavy covid mandates. >> i think the review is warranted for the cdc needs to do a better job of messaging. anyone who takes delight in their problems they were doing their best no one has answers early. when they're trying to figure things out they made some

mistakes. their job was made far more difficult because of president trump who said this thing was going to be gone in two weeks. he said it was like the common cold. he downplayed it he attacked the science he attacked the cdc he attacked the nih and dr. fauci. he politicized mask wearing and social distancing. so it became a political game. and i think that political game made it more difficult for anybody who is trying to deal with a historic crisis, a pandemic in our nations at that moment. i think the cdc can do a better job it must not take pleasure in their problem with their problem is our problem will have future medical issues to deal with and we want them to perform in a better way. seven i don't think anyone is taking pleasure in it, nobly taking pleasure in the mistakes the cdc made. i think what they are saying is there was dissent there was other opinions out there and those pins were shut down.

the cdc we know now is wrong on many occasions they were wrong. but if you had a differing opinion in a different point of view even well-known doctors, they were shut down and they were villain eyes. >> i think a lot of people now are trying to say trump was right. trump was wrong. [inaudible] quincy was wrong on some things and he was correct on a lot of things. ask short this disease was gone in two weeks, trace come on? >> again nobody was right on everything. that is my point here. i want to move on jessica meantime the white house just wants to sell their legislative wins and contrasts themselves with republicans white house chief of staff told politico court quoting the choice just could not be any clearer. democrats stood up to big pharma, to big oil, to big corporations, to the gun lobby. without a strong enough case given the fact we are in this crippling inflation? we have got high gas prices and

they report it could go higher in the weeks and months to come, what you think? >> it seems like it is a strong enough case for the american people for the first time since november the averages and the real clear politics averages have democrats inched ahead of republicans in terms of who is favored to control the house after november to also favored to keep the senate, mitch mcconnell admitted that a couple days ago. said it was not looking good for republicans. a lot of that has to do with very poor selection of candidates in states like arizona and georgia at what's going on in ohio potentially in wisconsin with the barns making big strides against ron johnson leading in the last two poles there. so yes the american people hearing the president and the administration very loud and clear about the accomplishments they mean a watch them yet inflation is still bad it's over 8%. but it is coming down gas prices as a secretary granholm pointed out under $4 i hope they will get back down to three.

the american people seem clear the republicans have not proven to them they deserve to take control in november thus far but 80 days ago or 79 days to go for. >> and i wonder, jessica talks by good things administration is doing or has done. that all of biden's get news get lost as we see yet another headline about former president trump? right now we are waiting to see with the redacted affidavit said about why the fbi search mar-a-lago. what is the impact in your estimation? >> to your point, trace coming the search warrant definitely overshadowed biden's a big week for if you need any proof biden did not know about it i guess that is it. but the larger point is in the short term the attention on president trump, the affidavit, the search warrant, even the judge's decision i think short-term may benefit because all the narrative in media attention is on trunk. but in the long term people

think the chaos the ever-changing trump explanations for why he kept documents that were classified or even just a presidential government documents in his home in a mar-a-lago people think that is chaotic. this is why people got tired of it when he was president. and i think it then extends when you think about the attack on a law enforcement. this talk coming from the right of defend the fbi for that is not helpful that does not help the republicans with moderate voters in any way. i think in the long term this could be more damaging. but in the short term you are right. it definitely distracts from what was the major accomplishments in lowering prescription drug prices, doing more in terms of trying to help the american people move forward. trace: i want to get 30 seconds if i can for each of you from jason and jessica, jason you first the impact of this. it seems to me like there been a lot of leaks, the affidavit could be redacted, blacked out

much of it may be 90% were not going to get information yet. the justice department gets a chance maybe they are leaking maybe they are not. they are controlling the narrative in the former president really does not have a lot to battle with in the meantime, jason your thoughts. >> the president is championing openness and transparency. i think it is suspicious this raid happened 18 months after the president left. it looks wholly political think the department of justice has to come out and provide some other explanation when it is so close again to the midterms. trace: final thoughts in this jessica? >> a new embassy poking up this morning showed 57% of americans want the investigation to continue versus only 40% that think it should stop. jason said the president open and transparent, but that only goes so far as what is posting on social media. his lawyers have done nothing in court if that's been available to them for their been defenders of president trump who are even

questioning the legal strategy here and whether his team is up to the challenge the latest is what a special vatican filed nothing have not asked for a work queue so of judge reinhardt. he is spinning his wheels on truth social and nowhere else. >> trumps legal team says have a very good plan. we'll see if that isn't true. >> love to see a very quick standby up next senate leaders seemingly grim prediction on his party's chances in the midterms. party's chances in the midterms. we will discucu

wait!!! let me help—land o' frost premium meat. delicious and no by-products! toss it in. ay, moi? ok. weeeeeeeeee! make the smart choice. land o'frost premium meat. >> is probably greater likelihood the house of flips that the senate rate senate races are just different. they are statewide. and equality has a lot to do the outcome. i think when all is said and

done were likely to have an extremely close senate either our site up slightly or their site up slightly precooked senate minority leader mitch mcconnell with the bit of canned door on whether or not he things republicans will retake the senate in the midterms. her back now with the panel. jason, let's start with the with the recent fox poll incumbent mark kelly up over challenger blake masters in arizona. the bill hasn't democrat medela barns up over republican ron johnson in wisconsin but i know it's early, we talk about this a lot. there is still time. are you concerned, jason, about the state of the senate races for the gop question or. >> you know, both the aisle are concerned about it. the balance of powers going to come down to a few races and potentially just a few thousand votes here or there. i think when voters focus on the issue, when they focus on what is the reality of the inflation reduction act there is not actually inflation reduction in there, it is the green new deal disguises something else.

i think people are going to be i rates. the going to vote with what's going on with inflation, immigration, what is going on with crime in their cities. and the democrats i don't think have an answer to all of that. they can spend $1.5 billion to put trees in urban areas in the latest bill, that ain't going to solve the american people's problems. trace: one we saw one poll showing democratic congress woman up over rubio in florida. what do you make of that? is it true? is it an outlier? your thoughts? >> i have got to think it's an outlier at this point. it is part of this flashing light i think for republicans in national politics at the moment. we thought this was going to be a red wave year people voting against the party because there's a lot of discontent in the country. the red wave at this point looks like a red drip or a red ripple.

the reason reflected in florida and the races you were just talking about with jason, as more and more people are thinking do you know what? we see the benefits now coming the results coming the legislative progress coming from the biden administration. we have a sense things are somewhat chaotic pretty think about the abortion decision coming from a republican majority of justices on the corporate you look at the increase in gas prices on the lake mead will have senator mcconnell senator rick scott of florida playing the blame game and shifting money, putting money into ohio, state people thought was pretty confident to hold for the republicans. we are in the midst of shifting the political landscape at the moment records are also in the midst of a pretty deep inflationary downturn and gas prices are dipping a little bit. there's other stuff going on and the crime is unfathomable.

jessica, common >> list any loss or firm after taken president trump sheet lost by a pretty good margin. so here's what she said the morning after, watch. >> i believe that donald trump continued to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic. and i think defeating him is going to require a broad and united front of republicans, democrats and independents. that is what i intend to be a part of. bret: what coalition can shoot reasonably billed, jessica? can she really take on president trump? >> i do not think she can take on president trump. we saw this in the wyoming primary, harriet who defeated her by a landslide number with trump back to you. people turned out on that basis. the election was a referendum we should add alyssa cheney is not your average never trump or she is the vice chair of the generally sixth committee.

these are extenuating circumstances in terms of her chances to win the presidency, obviously i don't think that's going to be happening. and unfortunately if she didn't run or settlement like andrew yang with his new party for instance is more of a coalition idea, i just want to shape up off of votes from democrats which i am not in favor of her donald trump is obviously incredibly important still to the party. i do believe what's going on with january 6 and the search of mar-a-lago is going to hurt him though. i'm glad he is not announcing before the midterms. i think that would throw a whole other in the works there but he is important in until he retires from politics that will continue to be the case. 725 seconds if you want to represent jason. >> look, donald trump is still the biggest dog in the hunt right now. and what he does. i've got to tell you it republicans focus on issues, went on issues that's going to win the day.
