[cheers and applause] >> it's not easy having breakfast in hosting the show. so i appreciate your patience with that. this is a very loud crowd which gets even louder because we have low ceilings. steve and ainsley. >> the good news is, brian, such a big crowd, they are looking for help. if anybody is interested in working the original pancake

house there and wisconsin is hiring, right? >> the staff is great. they have great christmas parties, get-togethers, barbecues. that family atmosphere. the government and their 87,000 irs agents can't find them again involved in the waiter and waitress industry and walk away with cash in singles. and you can have the rest of the day with money. >> you are suggesting people not pay taxes on tips? >> exactly. that's another allure of this business. if you have tips, you don't declare it and just deny everything. hunter biden didn't pay taxes were a bunch of years. it took him five years to investigate. he gets to fly on a jet and live with his father for free. why not use that model for the rest of the nation? >> as soon as they look into when hunter biden was a waiter

at bennigan's, finally the house oversight committee will get there guy. >> absolutely. it's another sore spot. >> brian left on tuesday after they show after all the shows. he flew over there. we saw him yesterday morning. he did an excellent job and stayed up all night. we saw the background. you are interviewing people in the room last night. we were watching the actors show with sean hannity. you interviewed a bunch of people and we are going to show that story coming up. you have been working hard and got up this morning early and will fly back and do it all again tomorrow morning. thanks for bringing us the pulse of the people. it's been fascinating to. everyone liked on stage last night. you're hearing a lot of vivek ramaswamy. you are hearing a lot about nikki haley. ron desantis, strong showing. and lose. some are saying the other two may be because it was a shocker that no one was expecting nikki haley to have these great comments.

vivek ramaswamy, people are googling him. he is the most google candidate because people want to learn more about him. he walked out on stage. he looks like he is having fun he wants to be there. he's young and fresh. he walks out on stage. what's up? what's up? he just was happy. >> brian is going to be talking to governor ron desantis very shortly. if you missed the debate for some reason, we have been able to put together a montage of the best sound bites. the first republican debate is in the books with candidates clashing over the top issues facing all of us here in the u usa. >> vivek ramaswamy, you can see him energetic walking out. a major target. he didn't shy away from hitting back. >> alexis mack adams is live in milwaukee, 20 minutes from me in the humidity. i give you great credit for persevering. a lot of times, this type of conditions. you are here to report.

>> that's right. i am doing everything i can to get my hair from looking even worse. it is humid and hot. the story still is politics right here in milwaukee as americans wake up and reflect on how things went up the fox news debate. the other thing that have been reflecting on how things have been gone. you've been checking in with. it will be interesting to hear from governor ron desantis to feel like out of the connect with voters out there. the main issues that were talked about were abortion, the economy and border security. vivek ramaswamy as you mentioned was one of the people who have the most time up on stage because people kept slamming them. more than time to respond and get back in the spotlight. he said he's glad he's the only one who is not a politician. watch. >> now is not the time for on-the-job training. we don't need to bring in a rookie, the last person one of these debates who stood in the middle of the stage and said, what's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here was

barack obama. i'm afraid we are dealing with the same type of amateur. >> give me a hug just like you did to obama. it's not a priority for the united states of america. >> the problem that vivek ramaswamy doesn't understand is he wants to hand you came to russia. he wants to let china eat ta taiwan. you have no foreign policy experience and it shows. >> vivek ramaswamy said he had fun up on that stage. he and said that he wasn't worried about being slammed. he is also been overly replace using social media to try and connect with voters. not a lot of praise for his stance on the american family structure. watch. >> we have a crisis of achievement. let's shut down the head of the snake, the department of education. but in the hands of parents across this country. this is the civil rights issue of our time. the ultimate privilege of two parents in the house with a

focus on educational achievement. i went every kid to enjoy that. part of the problem is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have a man in the house then to have a man in the house and shepherding to an epidemic of fatherlessness. that goes hand in glove with the education crisis as well because we have to remember education starts with the family and the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. stephen vogt initially talked to on the ground and say how vivek ramaswamy was an impressive speaker for the conversations about policy with abortion taken center stage. all the candidates identified as pro-life. but differed. >> we must reverse it so that middle-class families have a chance to succeed again. we cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can't afford groceries, a car, or a new home. congress spends trillions and

trillions of dollars. those rich men north of richmond have put us in this situation. >> the economy they are also being talked about by governor ron desantis. immigration, the main issue for voters. we have seen migrants moving into large cities and small cities all across america. that was also talk about. >> the most pressing need of the american people of national security standpoint is our southern border. the next president of the united states, i will make that border wall complete. >> former president trump was not on that debate stage. he wasn't a focus of the night. asa hutchinson and chris christie were booed when they said they would not back trump if he was the nominee. if he is charged, they wouldn't want there. watch. >> if former president trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party's choice? please raise your hand if you

would. [cheers and applause] >> crime, a main issue and not just in the major cities. we talk all the time in new york, los angeles and chicago. crime spikes in crime ways. it happened in north dakota. >> have you ever asked the question of what about the crime wave in small towns? the small town, neighbors help neighbors. people understand each other. if a farmer gets sick, everyone comes together for there's accountability and transparency. one thing i think this country could use is someone in the white house that understands small town values. that's our road map to get this country back on track again. >> and so those are just some of the issues that were talking about. chris christie was also up on that stage, one of the candidates he was talking about what he could do better for america. he also slammed the bidens. take a listen. >> what president would do is appoint an attorney general who

would instruct each of the 93 u.s. attorneys that they are to take over the prosecution of violent crime in every one of those cities that are failing to do so. we need to make sure that each and every one of these criminals understand that the laws apply to everybody. when hunter biden fills out a fake application, a false application for a gun permits, and then you have a justice department that walks away from those charges, we are telling people about the law doesn't apply to everybody. nsb for administration, he would go to jail for ten years. >> while people continue to struggle, ron desantis say no rural americans can make ends meet. he also took a swing at president joe biden. >> we cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can't afford groceries, a car, or a new home. hunter biden can make hundreds

of thousands of dollars on lousy paintings. >> the economy border security and abortion were some of the main topics as he varied. as you mentioned earlier, it's really about who americans feel like they connected with good a lot of them talk about policy and what they would do better. are they able to relay that? did they communicate well? the only had a short time to deliver their message. >> thank you very much for taking two hours and boiling it down to about 5 minutes. thank you very much. the reason she mentioned that it is because we talk about that metric where they say the person who won is someone you would want to go out and have a beer with. we have been talking to voters and carter. it feels like the big winners yesterday where vivek ramaswamy who certainly is not the status quo. that's why a lot of people are interested in him. also, nikki haley. one of the great things about the fact that while donald trump would've been great to have been there, he chose not to attend.

nonetheless, without him in the hall, we were able to hear the policy positions of different candidates. and here is one of the most stark differences. you have got nikki haley who has represented the united states and the united nations as ambassador. you have got vivek ramaswamy who for the most part wants to change everything we are doing regarding taiwan, israel, and also ukraine. and here is when they got into it. >> a win for russia is a win from china. we have to know that. ukraine is the first line of defense for us. a problem that vivek doesn't understand is he wants to hang ukraine to russia. he wants to let china eat taiwan pretty want to go and stop funding israel. you don't do that to friends. but you do instead is you have a box of your friends. ukraine is the front line of defense. putin has said, once russia takes ukraine, poland and the

baltics are next. that's all world war. look at what putin did today. he killed him. when i was at the u.n., the russian ambassador suddenly died. this guy is a murderer. you are choosing a murderer over eight -- american country. [applause] >> i wish you well on your future career on the boards of lockheed and raytheon. boeing came off of it. you have been pushing this lie all week, nikki. >> defined israel. >> let me address that. i'm glad you brought that up. the reality is. >> you have no foreign policy experience and it shows. [cheers and applause] >> that you are now shows -- >> ainsley and brian, that was really demonstrative of two people with two polar opposite views of foreign policy in the country. it will be interesting because the two of them for the most part it dominated when you look at the exit polls and

essentially people and their comments from last night. we sent a couple of weeks ago that two weeks after the first debate, we wouldn't be surprised if the poll standings in the republican party change. trump on top followed distance second by ron desantis. i would not be surprised if those do wind up in second and third place in no time. which suddenly means i wonder if donald trump is going to wind up -- >> maybe nikki haley hit him yesterday. several times talking about the debt that he put us in and saying it's time for an accountant in the white house and trump was the most disliked politician in america. we have to face this. i will be curious to how trump will respond to that. she is falling well right now. so is vivek. his response was interesting to israel. he said, i like what israel does at its border. i like the iron dome. he didn't say -- he didn't

defend himself by saying i don't want to give israel any more american dollars. that's concerning to a lot of americans. >> he tied it in with our border. >> when he talked about ukraine, he said he doesn't want us to send money to ukraine. have your upload more of their weight which most americans would agree with. nikki haley said it's a pro-american country, ukraine, invaded by a thug. we have given less than 3.5% of our defense budget to ukraine, a win for russia is a win for china. putin would move into poland in the baltics if we don't prevent this. the taiwan thing -- i don't think that was brought up. i don't think he addressed taiwan. china can have taiwan. it a talk about that last night? i don't remember him bringing that up. do you, brian? >> we are going to get our manufacturing out of taiwan. if china wants to take taiwan in 2028, that's okay with him. which is insane.

keep in mind, as nikki haley backed up with facts, it's not that the europeans aren't giving money. a percentage of their gdp, they are. we are the ones that haven't delivered the abrams tanks for the equipment. we are the ones who have not trained a single pilot to be an f-16 fighter. why is it that the lindsey graham's, the mike mccaul have to do all these and nikki haley, all the explaining for this war. because this president has got the worst foreign policy in things ever. the fact is, he is right to back ukraine. he was wrong not to get ukraine ready to defend itself to prevent an invasion to begin with bread that is why people aren't comfortable. nikki haley is 100% right. that is where vivek -- vivek is really susceptible. that's a tough sell my curtains foreign policy is don't say enforce the border or ukraine. they are two separate piles of money.

one has nothing to do with the other. >> it's going to be hard for him. >> he made the point which i thought was a good point good why are we giving them all this money and we are forgetting maui? after what they have been through. he also said to let you know, not a politician. he talked a little bit about a story, brian and stephen. that really does well with the voter. his parents came from nothing. they moved to ohio. ivy league trains. he married a surgeon. another girl from ohio. they have beautiful children. we saw them working out together. that shows how young they are. stark comparison. he comes on stage and look like he is having fun. he was interviewed and said that was so fun. i want to do it again. here he is telling the story about the american dream. >> i'm not a politician. you're right about that. i'm an entrepreneur from my parents came to this country with no money 40 years ago. i have gone on to found multibillion-dollar companies. i did it while marrying my wife,

raising our two sons, following our faith in god. that is the american dream. i am genuinely worried about that american dream will not exist for our two sons and their generation unless we do something about it. >> vivek last night, stronger talk to him. he made himself available. the biggest and smallest outlets afterwards. here's what the spin room looked like. out of the debate comes the spin and hopefully comes the money to fund a campaign to get him on the stage. for the next debate before the next poll. here is what it looked like after the 2-hour debate. watch. >> this is now "fox & friends." good morning, everybody. i hope you had your morning coffee and w wake up with "fox & friends." steve, ainsley, and brian here who is at the debate. the first g.o.p. debate is in the books. it is concluded. two hours and a lot of fireworks. a lot of points of view.

a lot of biographies. now it's time to check out all sides feel how they did right here. in the spin room. >> the scrum is with nikki haley. how did you do? >> great in terms of explaining why i'm different from everyone on this date she was a neocon. the difference at times, i was on stage with joe biden and liz cheney when in fact within the republican primary. that kind of debate is great. we are getting warmed up. one of the things i learned about politics is a lot of professional politicians will say anything to be able to make their point even if it is outright false. my focus was not was not on attacking other candidates. it was delivering my message. i think we succeeded at that scale that i'm pretty happy with. >> where you flattered to be attacked? >> yes, i was. it was a great badge of honor. a former vice president of the united states and another one u.n. ambassador and governor. another different governor of a different state coming for a 38-year-old guy who is a

political newcomer who is a first-time debate stage. i did think it was pretty flattering. it was a great experience. >> when chris christie said there's another guy on the stage you said he had a funny name with skinny arms and any equated you to president obama, what are your thoughts? >> chris christie was the guy that gave barack obama a hug that escalated him the credibility to win a general election. chris christie like much of the establishment -- you saw today. felt the threatened by my presence. a lot of professional politicians had a sort of anaphylactic response to that. the reality is that we do need an outsider in the white house. the choice we face is do you want a super pac topic? the amount of money being spent via super pacs to put up retested slogans versus an independent patriot to speak the truth for that is the contrast in this primary. a lot of those professional politicians that have been preparing their entire lives for this moment you feel threatened

by my presence on that stage. they are good people. i'm gonna need them in different roles. but i will be the one leading from the white house after i deliver a landslide in the general. >> you have to feel good about your performance tonight. at what point do you say to yourself this feels good? >> how do we go and address the american people and talk to them about the truth of the issues and what we need to do to move america forward? we've got serious issues whether it's on the economy of the fact that republicans and democrats got this in this situation for the lack of transparency in the classroom. crime at an all-time high open lawless border. national security, brian, that is going to be a huge issue for the next president. we need a foreign policy approach. the division for the next three decades so that we can keep americans safe. >> when you said the most unpopular politician in america is donald trump, a guy that you say is your friend. >> trump is the most disliked

politician in america. we can win a general election that way. >> went into that statement? >> is true. you can look at any of the polls. he is my friend. it was an honor to serve with them. i agree with most of his policies pretty's gonna spend more time in a courtroom next year then he campaigning. we have to be realistic about that. do i want to have been a weaponization of the department of justice and the agencies? you bet. if he can be the reason we are going to do it, absolutely. we have to beat president kamala harris. it is too dangerous to think about what happens if she wins. we can have a former president sitting in a courtroom campaigning from there. it's not going to work. >> how is he winning by so much? >> this is the kickoff of the campaign season. the first debate gets things going. we will go into the next few months. we've got a debate every month. this is where people can see their opportunities. i think it would have been good for him to be on the stage so that he could have answered some of the questions. but he wasn't. we've got to go forward.

we have a country to save. >> did you miss trump on the stage? >> i think it was a missed opportunity for president trump not to be here. republican voters deserve to hear from every candidate. and i hope he shows up in california. >> important for the people to judge you and for you to judge yourself for the most important about as your wife. >> he's got my vote. >> did you ever think you would have at? >> is very humbling to me. >> other people keep it higher. what do they tell you? >> they didn't tell me everything. i keep asking, what should i do? >> grade yourself. >> i won't do that because it's my first time. i will leave that to all the professionals to give us a grade. i would say top grade for someone who is standing on one leg. ♪ ♪ >> the governor was kind enough to join us in the first hour.

he just passed. governor desantis just walked in. the place just erupted. he got a huge round of applause. he's shaking some hands. i thought it was interesting. governor christie did not come out but a lot of things he could hang his hat on. senator tim scott was solid too. after he did sean's interview, he had a game face on that he darted right out. i thought that was asa hutchinson was the first one in. i think that it was a good st start. after a while, the next one is gonna be great in california. we don't know about a third debate. everybody wants it. i would say give it back to fox for the third debate but we are so honest about it. there is governor ron desantis is here. these can think of is quality time in a matter of moments. some of the big rnc donors are in town. all the candidates are -- most of them are going to be addressing him before they leave town and go out to iowa, new hampshire, nevada, south carolina. everywhere on tuesday.

>> i like how with vivek, you are right about describing him as the one who is always available for the camera. he will go on any channel. he will talk to any reporter no matter what outlet they are with. i like that he refuses to attack trump. nikki haley coming when you interviewed her, she had a longer opportunity to defend why she went after trump. she said he is my friend. let's be realistic about this. he's gonna be in court a lot. i think the viewer or the audience needs to hear that. they do like trump. she is just getting some realistic answers and she did that with abortion. you let sean hannity take your microphone. he has his own show, brian. >> to have a choice? >> no, you don't. >> he said, you have a second. he takes the microphone. being that he knows you and steve so well, i didn't feel as though i could jump in the middle. he also takes martial arts. he's got his own trainer. should i be wrestling with

sean hannity before i see a candidate? i made the move and i regret not being stronger. next time come in california, i will not give up the microphone. >> that would be really good video. just saying. we are doing a tv show. you and sean hannity. all right, excellent spin room stuff, brian. the governor is you said is coming up. in the meantime, let's switch gears a little bit. republican candidates making the case last night at the ends president biden. gripping the economic agenda. his response to crime and progressive ideologies. was it enough to sway voters? best talks or our panel today probably on the host of the big money show. along with stop woke founder rob smith and retired new york city police inspector and attorney. good to have all of you. brian, we are going to start with you, and we are going to talk a little bit about what the republicans last night said not

working. watch. >> you must reverse bidenomics. >> it is the most important issue for women and the unborn child and for our country that we get this right. >> the only way we change education is to break the bag so that teachers unions. >> how did they do? >> this is where they've got to shine. the guy who wasn't there that they are running against his best on the economy. i would give him a c on the conversation on the economy. i think people tuned in. i heard them say bidenomics is not working and everyone leaned in to say what you gonna do about it. you never quite got to an answer that felt satisfying. hence of energy and taxes and spending. nothing there where you could say that's the person who can lead us out of the spirit >> vivek ramaswamy got a lot of

balls. because he is a self made almost billionaire. he started companies and he's been very successful. he can talk about business. he didn't talk about the economy so much. that is his wheelhouse. he was talking about other st stuff. >> he is a ceo. he has run things. the economy portion got tied into the sending jobs to each other portion. i think we lost some of that conversation. to get another debate with a lot of these folks. we will get to hear them hopefully develop those points. vivek should talk about running companies. this had to should talk about the state that he ran. these guys have stories. you've got to prioritize it. >> the host did a good job getting a bunch of different topics. here are some of the candidates talking about social issues and how they impact all of us. >> in florida, we eliminated critical race theory. we eliminated gender ideology from our k-12 schools. >> i'm going to fight for girls

all day long. because strong girls become strong women. strong women become strong leaders. biological boys don't belong in the locker rooms of -- >> have a good fortune of a mom who worked 16 hour days making sure we have food on our tables. if you're able bodied in america, you work. if you take out a loan, you pay them back. you commit a violent crime, you go to jail. and god made you a man, you play sports against men. >> what did you make a social issues, the woke stuff? >> the woke stuff they definitely hit hard core. vivek ramaswamy is honestly the j.lo of politics. he will go to anywhere and talk to anybody. a lot of these candidates are going to have a bad morning when they wake up. when they went in there, they obviously were jealous of all that attention. i think that is very interesting that it is taking center stage at this stage in the debate. i think that they all definitely had the right answers when it

comes to some of this stuff. i do not think that sort of these conversations that we have on social media about the woke stuff. i don't think that they matter to voters that much. when you look at how they all dealt with it. ron desantis is really the only one that can point to actual legislation and actual things that he did to combat this woke stuff. it's very strong on that. >> before the debate, did you think that vivek would be one of the most buzzed about voices? >> go to my twitter literally 24 hours ago this morning. i tweeted that the guns were going to be out for vivek. there is a lot of people that are very jealous of this attention. you can look at nikki haley's facial expressions. you can look at the way chris christie was attacking. these people are jealous of the attention and jealous of the fact that i think in vivek understands the base of these new voters that trump brought in more so than anybody else on the stage. i can speak to those people. one of those people in 2020.

>> i feel bad i didn't look at your twitter. >> i guess it is x now. >> meanwhile, one of the big factors impacting all of us here in new york city, crime. here's what the republicans had to say about it last night. >> this is democrats talking about defunding the police for the last five years. >> prosecutors and those localities in the states refusing to do their job into a arrest violent criminals. what president before we do is appoint an attorney general who would instruct each of the 93 u.s. attorneys that they are to take over. >> when we had two of these district attorneys in florida i like it sorrow spending that said they wouldn't do their job, i removed them from their posts. they are gone. >> mental health institutions, we have seen a spike in violent crime. >> a big agenda item for republicans.

>> i think it is one of the major domestic issues that we have. i'm glad that they didn't ask the question pair they all do departed to their stated ans answers. ron desantis has the best record to run. he can point to a couple of prosecutors that he got out of office which is a big issue. he actually use that term. i think mike pence is weakest on this. he was in office during the "summer of love" in 2020. we saw major cities burning down paired where those big cases? he had the ability to move that needle at the time. i thought vivek did something very interesting. it was clearly a tactic. when he got into areas he wasn't particularly conversing with them he defaulted to those traditional american narrative. it's a cultural malaise. the constitution. things that people who are in the base of the republican party want to hear from a newcomer especially a new -- looks a little different from what they are used to. chris christie made his point

about u.s. attorneys. he didn't really close the loop on that. that is as u.s. attorney experience speaking. 93 u.s. attorneys is not going to clean up the city's burger going to have to hire a couple hundred more. there are other things you can do as president like funding that they could have spoken about that they didn't. the president can't move the needle on crime. i would like to have heard more on that. >> give me your top two finishers from last night. >> i think vivek and hayley saw their stock go up last night. desantis as a whole, not sure anybody else broke through. >> i'm gonna agree, vivek and -- >> i gonna make it unanimous? >> i think it's an interesting point that we have 2 indian americans who now are the people that the republican party is talking about. that's the new republican party. that's a new phase. that's not the democratic party. that's the republican party. that's the future. >> thank you guys for the postgame show.

ainsley come over to you. >> wonderful job. great panel. thank you so much, steve. a heated moment at the first g.o.p. presidential debate between nikki haley and former vice president mike pence over abortion. watch. >> we need to stop demonizing this issue. in order to do that, let's find consensus. >> you are my friend. consensus is the opposite of leadership. >> you're talking about apparent all my federal ban. we haven't had 45 pro-life senators and over 100 years. no republican president can ban abortions any more than a democrat president good man although state laws. don't make women feel like they have to decide on this issue when you know we don't have 60 senate votes in the house. >> which answer resonated the most with the voter? let's check in with our voter panel. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. thanks for being here. how many of you side with mike pence and his abortion stance? how many side with nikki haley?

all of you. tell me why. >> on the federal level, it would take so much to get an abortion ban. she was right about getting a consensus. let's agree on some things. let's have a pragmatic approach. me personally, i understand that his abortion debate is a big debate. republicans, needs to be left alone. some of the pressing issues of our time right now that i feel that, you know, roe v. wade got, you know, struck down in the supreme court. we made some headway. let's leave it to the states and move on to issues that right now really are pressing for this country. >> she is being realistic. nothing is going to change. we can change it. she does i'm unapologetically pro-life. she doesn't like abortion. she knows that in some situations, it's going to happen. that's but restraints on that. you can't have it at the last week. you can't have it after the baby can feel pain.

she said, let's not throw women in prison if they have to have this. >> she was being the person that was the most pragmatic. yes, i like her stance. >> yes, absolutely. i thought nikki haley's answer to abortion was what made me pay attention to her. she has someone i can see winning the general on this issue. i think everyone else, you know, while they each personally hold pro-life, it is just not going to appeal to the general american audience november of 2025. >> donald trump needs the women as the voter. this really resonates with women. they can say look, i don't really like abortion. in certain situations, doctors that don't agree with it, they shouldn't have to perform it. >> that's what we were talking about in the green room. donald trump struggles with the suburban women vote. she is going to resonate with

that. we don't like to be lied to. the politicians are going to tell you what they want you to you in the fact of the matter is, there isn't enough votes. i am a constitutionalist. he went back to the states where it belongs. we don't need the federal ban. it is not going to pass anyway. stop talking about it and let's move on. her position on it will help trump with the women vote. >> they all buried -- someone to stop sending money to ukraine. i will start with you in the back. what'd you think? who really resonated with you when it came to the ukraine stance? >> mr. ramaswamy stood out from the rest of the crowd not only in the republican field but from president biden as well. everyone else seemed pretty homogenous that they wanted to continue the funding for the ukraine war and expanded. mr. ramaswamy's approach to not expanding the funding and even working to a peaceful solution to this war is really the direction we need to go as a country. >> johnny committee want to continue?

you want to get not as much maybe? >> i agree. i think funneling billions of dollars. i live in new york city. we have a big crisis here. how about taking care of us first year in the city. i tend to agree more with vivek. >> what about his other foreign policy issues? a lot of people might understand that with ukraine. giving taiwan to china and not getting involved. what about not getting any money to israel anymore? >> that exchange was interesting with nikki haley. she was putting words in his mouth. that's what i sensed also. i do agree when he says china is our biggest threat right now. the fact that he doesn't have experience, he is new. of course he doesn't have experience. trump didn't have experience and a one night. i like the fact that he's an thinking outside the box. four people are going to be listening to his stance on these issues. >> thank you so much for joining

[cheers and applause] governor, first off, can i just say, haven't seen you in a few months. you were really in game shape now. is that part of the athletic training of yours? >> we have kids at home, six, five, and three. i think my wife and i have found it's been a lot. when you had to do, it was man-to-man defense. our 3-year-old is very opinionated. she has a mind of your own. we have fun with it. it's a lot of work.

>> you used children. a little bit different. governor, last night, your performance before -- how did you feel about it? you had that for the most time at 10 minutes and 22 seconds. top was pence. >> 100% of my time was talking about our vision for the future. and my accomplishments. there's a lot of people that's not a lot of things. i'm the one that's actually delivered on all these issues whether it is economy, whether it's the crime, the border, you name it. looking forward to, those are the issues that we are really strong on. the issues that people really care about. >> you did not get attacked as much as i thought you would. vivek seem to have gotten under a lot of people's skin. what did you notice and how do you feel about vivek's comments and policies and reaction? >> there was kind of a lot of cross chatter that was going on. look, we are auditioning to be the president of the

united states. i am not here to get enough food fight. if someone came after me, i was ready to go loaded for bear. we were going to respondent but that's too bad. i was more interested in talking directly to the people at home rather than some of the bickering that was back and forth. there was a lot going on. my thing is okay, that's fine. let's focus on the issues that matter. >> i mention to you in new york, 3,000 a week. over 100,000 through. 204 facilities. all taxpayer dollars. when you were asked about how you would enforce the border, here is you said. >> the cartels are killing tens of thousands of our fellow citizens. you want to talk about a country in decline, you have the cartels controlling a lot of part of your southern border. we have to reestablish the rule of law. we have to defend our people. and they are coming across, yes, we are going to use lethal force. we reserve the right to operate. how many more tens of thousands

are we going to let die? >> when president trump's and thought about maybe blowing up the cartels are attacking, he can't do that to another nation. is that what you're saying? if you know where the ark, we will take them out? >> they are invading our country and killing our people. u.s. commander-in-chief have a responsibility to fight back and defend the people of this country. you look at the body count now from the fence and all that's coming in. over 100,000 people are overdosing on drugs. we now have a collection around the country what's called angel moms. these are mothers that have lost kids to overdose. i've had a chance to meet with a lot of them. these are kids that may take a xanax or something yes. and then exactly. here is the thing. that's giving them the death penalty if it is done with fentanyl. it's going to stop when i'm

president. we are going to treat the cartels like the foreign terrorist organizations that they are. we are going to have maritime. china is giving the precursor chemicals to the cartels for the cartels are creating the fentanyl. we will be interdicting on the sea some of these shipments going into the mexican ports. our people's lives are at stake. i'm gonna do what it takes. >> i want to talk about foreign policy for a second. vivek ramaswamy says he wants out of the ukraine war. if china and russia promised to break up their alliance. is it feasible or possible? >> you can't just tell russia and china. the longer this goes on, i think it benefits china. it depletes the westin makes russia more subservient to ch china. i do think china is our number one -- >> do you see how russia -- >> what we need to focus on is what does xi really care about?

he was to know what hard power he's going to face in the pacific. we don't have adequate amount of hard power. biden views china as a client, not as an adversary. we need to search more resources there. under my administration, our defense posture will be the indo-pacific will be the primary. europe is going to have to do more in europe. we will work with them. they are allies. if you don't have adequate resources to be able to provide world wide security. we have to face that fact and do it we take to deter the china threat. >> 3% of our gdp. with ukraine fighting. it seems like a good deal for the u.s. >> 3% of our gdp -- >> i think this is why people are frustrated. you are ignoring problems at home while you are doing that. they are ignoring our own border. we have got to take care of our people. that is the priority. you have got to get that done. the crime in the cities, the

border, all these problems are being ignored by these elites in d.c. people are frustrated, and i'm frustrated by it. >> you are a solid and every poll. almost halfway through the counties in iowa. the president the united states got a slight surge after his last indictment. what do you think happens after he is arrested today? >> i don't know. i think that this was a unique situation with all these cases. hopefully, there is no more. and we can focus on the issues. i think we are going to continue to make progress. i think it's going to be really positive beau ross. you've got to earn it. you've got to go out there and work hard to do it. i'm a blue-collar kid. i want to work -- go to put myself in school and put myself. nothing was handed to me. that's should be no different than the nomination the republican party. >> is winning by 40 points. if you want him in the next debate, close the gap. >> first of all, he's not winning by that much in iowa in

the early states. i think he made a mistake not debating. republican voters expect you to show up and make the case. they don't think anybody is entitled to any of this. i think it is in his interest to debate the next time. i will be there. we are happy to discuss all these important issues. ultimately, it's not about my issues. it's not about some of these past things. it's about the country's future. that's got to be the sole focus. if we as republicans are focus on that holding biden accountable, we are going to win. if we litigate the whole issue about what happened on january 6th which is what the media and the democrats want, then biden is going to be in his basement again. he's going to get away with it. >> if the news is that about you, they say you are not doing a good job. you want to go and govern. they are also saying to you, governor, tell people about yourself. is that tough for you? >> to me when i'm doing things, i'm doing things on behalf of

the people. it's not about me. i don't like talking about myself. i think people want to know more about you. i mentioned last night at the debate. i volunteered to serve in iraq and attached to the u.s. navy seals. and i worked hard as i blue-collar kid to get degrees from yale and harvard. i could have made a lot of money. i was inspired by 9/11. i volunteered to serve. i believed in this country. people appreciate that. they also appreciate to know that i'm family oriented with our three kids. they do like that this kid is gritty. he's a guy that had to work as a kid to get through places. he didn't have anything handed to them. america is about if you work hard, you can get ahead. we are losing that as a country. that is one of the reasons why i'm running. >> if there is a train derailment, he would show up. if hawaii literally burned to the ground, you will be there unlike our current president. >> to say no comment when people are suffering like that while you are on the beach, that was

disgraceful. >> governor, always great to see you and we will talk you on radio top of the hour. governor ron desantis, everybody. [cheers and applause] he's back on the trail today. right after the break. but first, let's check in with bill hemmer and dana perino. silly milwaukee, am i right? >> yes, you are correct about that. you are going to be our driver this morning, brian. if you want to bring us breakfast, we will be here waiting for you. thank you, good show in a moment here. yeah. good morning. >> good morning to you. it was a great night, and it's good to be a great morning. we have nikki haley is here. a lot of buzz after last night. and the panel comes back for the motor panel that we have yesterday. >> we put nine people together from the area of milwaukee. we asked them what they wanted to see. they come back to tell us whether or not they heard what they were looking for. >> we will see you at the top of the hour. the one here we go.

it's because of tiktok that i had to go out and get a website. i'm at a point now where i've outgrown my house. growing up, every time i'd get out of the shower, i would itch. my first experience with goat milk soap, it kinda was like a light bulb moment. tiktok is a fantastic platform for diy. if you'd have told me three years ago that i would own my own business and be expanding into a separate building, i would've told you you'd lost your mind.

(wheezing) asthma isn't pretty. it's the moment when you realize that a good day... is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone.

when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid, like in trelegy, there is not a significant increased risk of these events. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ♪ what a wonderful world. ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for asthma - because breathing should be beautiful. [it's the final game, folks. this one wins the series.] struck out with the cheap seats?

important things aren't worth compromising. at farmers, we offer both quality insurance and great savings. (crowd cheers) here, take mine. (farmers mnemonic) [applause] >> some final -- thanks, guys. some final thoughts here. the old pancake house in beautiful brookfield, wisconsin. 20 minutes from where dana and bill will take over in a short time. you are an enthusiastic group. i hope they're ready, guys, these candidates if they want to be president will be in wisconsin, staying in wisconsin,

because they need wisconsin. and the winner might be picked by wisconsin. so the debate number one is officially in the books but we'll be back here for the rnc. hopefully in different outfits, fresh showers, maybe different hairstyles. >> steve: before you leave the pancake house, you have to get a pancake. it's that good. >> ainsley: he made them with governor ron desantis and now you have to eat them. >> brian: i have three hours of radio and they promised to feed me. >> what is your takeaway? >> quality on the stage. i think governor desantis did what he did to be the frontrunner after trump and people will give nikki haley a second look, too, and vivek is the buzz. i don't know where the support is. i know everybody knows him now but do they believe in him now that's the bigger question. >> steve: i think vivek and nicki will get a lot of attention today. short lived because donald trump

will be arrested in a few hours in georgia and that will be -- take over the news cycle. >> ainsley: he supported donald trump and didn't say anything negative about donald trump. a lot of people like nikki haley because she was realistic on debt and abortion issue and realistic about trump. we'll see where it goes. bye, everyone. thanks for watching. >> bill: thank you, guys, good morning. it is morning in milwaukee. the first debated no shortage of fireworks last night. the economy and crime high on the docket. one of the biggest stars might have been the former south carolina governor nikki haley. she will be live in dana and me in a matter of moments in wisconsin. breaking news on foreign policy. one thing we'll be talking to governor haley about is the one big story out of russia breaking now. freedom denied for an american held in one of putin's jails. a moscow court
