second straight month. fueled by increasing gas prices now up 50% from when biden took office. food is up nearly 20% over the same. inflation report out one day after house speaker kevin mccarthy launched in impeachment inquiry. >> these are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption. >> white house spokesman said this is all to appease mccarthy's republican critics. >> he is being attacked from his right and throwing them at red meats for. >> he hopes the probe paves the way for the house to passage of budget by month' months and to t a government shutdown. the top house democrat called it a three ring circus. many republicans disagree. >> the public deserves to know the facts. >> hunter biden is due to return to a courtroom here in wilmington in about a week to face the gun charges and more tax charges could be coming. space is lucas tomlinson and wilmington thank you for joining us now house or publican

conference chair trying to welcome back to "fox news sunday" for. >> great to be with you. let's start here possibility of a government shutdown days away. will state mostly because of internal strife or from that goper xes puts it this way. republicans a phone into a state of a paralyzed chaos with no obvious exit ramp and a government spending fight of their own creation. i work brand-new fox news pulpits congressional approval at 19%. so you run the house now. what do you tell the american people about the fact we cannot move a defense bill to fund our troops questioned chris we are in very good place i've been engaged in conversation with members as well as speaker mccarthy over the weekend. we are working to us i am optimistic we will continue to move the appropriation process forward. that he could see of the appropriation bill it also includes potentially continuing resolution to ensure we do not facbase a government shutdown. what is really important here as on behalf of the american people we know inflation is when the top concerns 91% of the american people are concerned about

inflation. we have to rein in the reckless out-of-control spending that we have seen under by administration for. >> that is what you're most conservative wing is worried about they make deals they agreed to a budget deal their spending caps parties all those kinds of things they do not think are going to be honored at the new batch of spending bills you got very vocal he is threatening to call this to force the speaker out or force a vote on him. if he does not get what he believes was agreed to and at telling things back part of got a meeting described by congressman as saying the speaker said jeff you want to file the motion to vacate then file the motion. how tense are things with the party right now? looks i've chaired a lot of the conference meeting is cheering that meeting it's a weekly discussion while the public at members. shannon: is that accurate quote quick and quick site not going to get his or not would quote numbers in that meeting i want to respect them. speaker mccarthy support a strong within the conference he has said is going to continue doing his job leading this

conference. i am's confident we will work through this incident and the majority of members and i believe the speaker will survive any type of motion. i don't thing is going to get to that because as i said we are going through great productive conversations with our members including from house freedom caucus as well as the republican study committee brought it republican to work to the probation process. while also standing up for fiscal responsibility being big stewards of cap taxpayer dollars and i raining in out-of-control spending. >> all this is going along the backdrop of a formal impeachment inquiry just a few weeks ago earlier this month the speaker had said this would go through a house vote it would not be the call of one person. is that because you don't have house vote? what's he look at the precedent here speaker pelosi started the house impeachment inquiry about a month before there's ultimately a vote the speaker can call about it anytime except of his decision to do so the impeachment inquiry is an important step to take for legal purposes to make sure the house in congress as an institution is

at its apex of constitutional authority to make sure we get access to documents and frankly depositions we know the administrations going to stonewall. it is important to take a step back. take a look at what house republicans have uncovered. we have uncovered dozens of llcs biden family members including over $20 million some of which came in while joe biden while vice president this is joe biden and really answering valid concerns with corruption and national security. shannon: the democrats will say there's no smoking gun there's no receipt there's no transaction that shows president biden even then as a vice president taking any money that was inappropriate or improper. as with the top house danek democrat has a say hakeem jeffries he talks about destruction. >> extreme maga republicans have launched an illegitimate impeachment inquiry that is a kangaroo court fishing expedition and conspiracy theater rolled into one. there is not a shred of evidence

that president joe biden has engaged in wrongdoing. >> so why tight yourselves up in the resources will be expended the criticism that's going to come. you know if ago since then it goes nowhere. >> first of all i believe transparency and good governance is very, very important for any congress. we note joe biden started off saying he had no knowledge of hunter biden did business dealings and then the white house quickly shifted their story to state joe biden had no involvement. we know as we continue to learn the facts that simply not the case for joe biden was involved with phone calls, with hunter biden's top foreign clients. i believe the biden family including then vice president joe biden was deeply involved in the nexus and frankly the question of a bribery high crimes and misdemeanors is an important one it is up to us as congress to make sure we deliver accountability and transparency to the american people. that is why this white house is a fighting tooth and nail to turn over documents to answer

questions. because they know we are continuing to uncover what i believe is going to be the greatest political scandal of our lifetime. shannonshannon: a country's watd wears well to see what goes through a touch on something cap in your home state as well. the issue of immigration a number of house democrats went over too one of the facilities or people are being house to have come here illegally. they were basically drowned out by protesters there. congress congresswoman aoc among one of them. she is not happy the mayor they are, eric adams said this is going to destroy the city but she responded to him on x by saksaying this the core issue is not so with the asylum-seekers there's a debate about whether all these people are asylum-seekers. they want to work and new yorkers went higher than for the government is forcing people to remain a public assistance because we will not let them work and support themselves. she says that's all they want. so would you favorite work permits for people who are here and went to work? and are subsisting on funding eric adam says is down but will overwhelm the city. how would you deal with the immediate crisis?

>> immediate crisis to secure the border. let's take a step back. mayor adams and governor kathy hauke will support century city sea policies but there's a reason new york city is getting overrun it's because the border crisis the eagle transfers of illegals into new york state where they tried to transfer these illegals to parts of upstate new york, not only new york republicans but democrats as well at the elected level spoke out strongly against this. the way to solve this is by securing our border which is white house republicans but house on the floor. not a single democrat voted to secure our borders it's why we continue the appropriation discussion one of our key priorities is making sure we have strong border security policies but this is a catastrophe of the democrats making in new york state they are going to feel the pain at the ballot box because 81% of new yorkers that includes democrats as well are very concerned and think this is a serious issue that new york is facing progress it is a serious issue they are not the only city congressman thank you for coming

in. always good to see if it is now congressman ro khanna a member of president biden's reelection advisory board welcome back to d.c. sir. >> thank you shannon good morning. >> i want to start with one of her other big stories as uaw strike agaiyou adebbie strike ae big automakers. you are going to go and be in solidarity with the workers there. •-middle-dot jd vance is a republicans has his prolabor polling for these workers. but he adds this every time the bite administratbiden administrs a component made in china, every time his administration drives up the price of gasoline there is an american auto worker who loses bargaining power exists uaw leadership encourages membership to vote for the man he calls the most anti- president apresident and histor. and nobody should be shocked these lead to a place where the workers are striking. >> we should not be politicizing this post should be listening for the uaw workers want to read they want us to tackle climate. they want battery plants but

they want the jobs to pay it well they want the jobs to beat union jobs. that's what we are fighting for your making $38 million if $5 billion in stock buybacks when you have these big companies making $21 billion we can pay autoworkers within $16 and they could have good paying job sets of this fight is about progress in your time suggest these workers are not actually excited about eb's that they are working and striking to try to protect their manufacturing jobs. but take fewer jobs to put those cars together. the america first policy institute says this. forcing american automakers to make electric vehicles that the american people do not want and cannot afford is understandably causing hard-working uaw members to worry about their financial future. a lot of conversation with the fact the push for green energy we are not ready for the full transition to something like tvs. that's hurting these workers. >> shannon it is true and

electric vehicle requires a less jobs than a traditional auto vehicle. but you have to look at the entire supply chain when you factor in the battery plants and other parts of the supply chain then you have a lot of jobs. what most of these workers what is good paying manufacturing jobs. the question isn't are they making internal combustion energies are ev's question at that are they going to be family supporting wages they understand the world is changing the new energy sources want to leave there but they want to make for the good paying jobs and i believe uaw will prevail and reasonable demands for quick slot or parting people within the uaw including its leader are not thrilled with the weight the president has been handling this issue. politico quotes one of your colleagues fill house democrats as unloading on the white house about how they handled the whole situation. asking top biden advisor are you out of your mind? that cysts are second of the show we are editing that. described as most pro union

president in history bungling this? >> we have someone on the advisor were going to stand with uaw workers on pendant op ed just two days ago saying the workers are in the right the big three auto companies are not. jean sterling on the president seem is siding with the workers. i believe the question is are you going to side with the workers to get higher wages are you going to sig side with the g three auto companies in the present is clearly on the side of the workers. when they are resolved to think he will continue to enjoy their support. >> when it comes t economic isss are to polling is beyond the strike americans all think the president's hand like this well put it all comes down to listen the way they vo the boat and a r in a ballot boxes on their own perception here's a first bowl concerned about being able to pay your bill 74% of people we surveyed said yes. housing by demonstration actions on inflation affecting you? 53% a majority of people say they're actually hurting them another say no different.

hurting or not helping at all. but that in mind those numbers in mind is it smart for this president to be out there with vita now makes as a center of his campaign? >> what bidenomics means working to prioritize the working class platelet president biden democrats in congress are saying rent cost too much that's weighted rental assistance. we need assistance for food because food prices are up. whethewhat the republicans are g is it no have tax cuts. that is the difference in this campaign for the president but he is a working-class agenda he understands people are hurting. he is not oblivious to the price of gas or the price of food. but he is saying let's have government prioritize the working class not the millionaires and billionaires. that's the essence of biden economics. >> are most people's real life it's not trickling through just yet. the polling shows that's not resonating will continue to track that.

impeachment as we talked about congresswoman what she points out went through 20 shell companies the vice president is different e-mail pseudonyms and at least 170 financial transactions related to hunter or joe's brother james biden flagged to treasury as suspicious. to say there is no cause for investigation think president biden did things illegal you got republicans out there including scott perry he says listen this is a one way to clear the president let us have this investigation if there's nothing there that is what we will discover pay with all those things in mind do you think transparency they're owed about this things? >> with the american people want is for us to fund government and

solve their issues. i know you are fair and looked at the facts as to your viewers but i recommend an op ed a republican's pen and the washington post. he goes through all the facts and explains why there is no grounds for an beach but in quite this is by kevin mccarthy does not have the votes. when we impeach president trump, every democrat voted for it he simply do have the votes on his side present 20 -- 30 member saying fund the government solve people's problems and he lent lays out all the facts for. >> are deafly republicans say they do not want to go down this road. we'll see if they get the house but before they proceed any further once the inquiry is underway. what to make sure he touched on the fact you are leading a congressional delegation to china. there's been a lot of consternation over the fact we have sent a number of high-profile biden administration folks business leaders have gone over. choosing pig did not show up at g20. there is a perception we are always going to him at this

moment in time. i believe the wording from tom cottony center on this show he said it looks like by demonstration officials are chasing the chinese communist ct counterparts like lovestruck teenagers. coming home with no measurable achievements. what you hope to accomplish on this trip? >> the trip is still coming together. it would be a bipartisan trip. i have calli've called for rebai have criticized the trade deficit i said let's bring manufacturing home. i talked to fox news in an op ed about bring steel manufacturing back. we should be exporter of silt at the import of steel. but we have to at the same time have engagements so we can have our economic goals met here. and so we do not have a war over the taiwan straits that is something the american people want they want to focus on improving their lives not getting into wars overseas and bring manufacturing home. shannon: can just check out the op@foxnews.com thank you for

your time. >> thank you shannon. c6 prominent "washington post" columnist during the friars and president biden to drop out of the 2024 raised by the way take the vice president with him. up next we will bring in the sunday panel what those mean for the president's reelection dude? dog food in the fridge? it's not dog food. it's freshpet. real meat. real veggies. real weird. he was bad luck anyway.

coexistence bigger mccarthy has formally launched in impeachment? eczema god really questioned all my gosh. it is devastating. [laughter] don't do it. please don't do it. [laughter] oh no, oh no. shannon: pennsylvania senator jon fetterman laughing off impeachment inquiry president

biden's are by house republicans this week but let's talk about with her said a group politico congressional reporter olivia beavers and former white house adviser karl rove, kevin wiley and biden' surrogate and the hil editor and chief. great to have all of you with us. okay, so what are the risks now for the gop? the hilt says this it is a waste of time a fools errand. even if the impeachment gets to biden after an inquiry there so would the senate controlled by democrats would vote to convict. quick senate republicans and house republicans are not getting along. they don't agree on many things including impeachment and that his rights. can kevin mccarthy even get the votes to pass it to the house? it remains to be seen. that's why they did not have a vote on the impeachment inquiry, why they didn't have the votes for. >> is another fight everyone's going to get blamed for to another hill headline says this. lawmakers prepare for shutdown blame game. this never seems to go well for anyone but generally seems

republicans get blamed for the shutdowns by. >> general because republicans are responsible so there is a reason why they get blamed. look at the american people demand their government try to run itself in an appropriate fashion. the fact the biggest financial and business enterprise in the world the u.s. government can now pass a budget in time and ends up shutting itself down over things that are on the margin we are talking about the difference between this and that. the republicans are going to shoot themselves in the foot in the run up to the 2024 election if they continue to think shutdowns are a way to put themselves in front of the american people. shannon: a live yet you report here in d.c. there is the faction that said you made us promises. this is an exchange o or votingn speaker we stand by conviction to scale back the funding level for these are things you told her she would do. announce threats about the motion to vacate. >> assists a precarious position for the speaker to be in.

i do think and i've been talking with sources there is a group on the hill with the freedom caucus in the mainstream more rank and file interest who have been talking for their getting close to a framework. there might be a way for speaker mccarthy if they can get the republicans on board. the question is, what is the top line? i still don't have that information for their some who say it's near where the debt ceiling had been passed they were going to oppose it because they've been calling for cuts. they don't get those cuts are going to look like a hypocrite. we are in a tough spot. at least they're sounding optimistic at somethi is sometht will move forward. physics we have an escape during. [laughter] which occasionally happens live on tv. what will end the blooper root that will be fun. >> we love it. [laughter] the internal fighting but democrats also have this internal conversation going on about what that they would somebody else to be running for president. here are some that from david in the "washington post" i got a lot of attention this week.

if he and harris campaigned together in 202 2024 by did riss undoing his greatest achievement which was stopping trump. he says to liabilities both age and keeping harris on the vice president provokes must amazing thing about that column is 90% is in praise of a joe biden has accomplished. mainly because of his experience, his wisdom, his age, his relationships in washington d.c. you see a president who sees himself as one of the few people likely on the stage that can defeat existenial threat to the republic which in his mind is donald trump. and he did it just three years ago with the harris team. he is itching for that fight again. would've been interesting up donald trump and not run again. within the president would view a second term as something he would be interested in but certainly he views himself as the one person who can defeat donald trump again for. >> he try to talk them out of that. he thanks that's going to be backfired to him. to the issue of vice president harris staying on the tickets.

here's a couple top democrats had to say when they asked point-blank about that. but this vice president the best running mate for this president? lexi think so. that is what matters. she is the vice president of the united states for. >> ais present biden's choice. shannon: not a resounding endorsement for the current vice president brickwork snow, or poll numbers are not good in the presidents pullovers are not that this is a problem for very democrats are little overconfident they beat trump four years ago and they're going to be him again. and listen i think with harris though wheaton of thi know thisr game of speculation that maybe she will bounce but there is no chance it will bounce harris from the ticket for. >> topple numbers new from the foxnews polling these are places were present biden is losing from key constituencies president trump is picking up suburban women, women overall black voters voters under 45 hispanic voters, those are warning signs for. >> are but we have had lots of warning signs for think about with national polls showing

three out of every four americans think he is too old to be president. already and he's going to get older surprise he's going to get older between now and the election. in two out of three americans thanks he is mentally not up for the job. the idea he won by 43000 votes in three states with over what nearly 168 million people voting and he has a better shape today and he was three years ago they are kidding themselves. this is a disaster that is self-inflicted. and to people who had the ability to tell joe biden's time to hang it up. his wife and his sister plays a major role in every one of his campaigns. what are they thinking? particularly after things like the handling of the news conference for this is a disaster for the democrats. >> there's others who say he's being overmanaged when it comes to things like the benoit press conference or others she says this is staff reinforces the impression of fragile chief executive by over managing him.

and white knuckling all of his appearance by publicly treating him as though he's not in control of his faculties. by cutting him off mid- thought as if he is faltering and needs caretaking. they play into the hands of trumpeters, what if he just unleashed question because it was described they discreditede biden. he has the skill set necessary over 50 years in public life to deal the press to engage with the press i am of the mindset let him out but let the bear loose we've talked about during the obama years. because i think he is up for the fight. he just came back on it world when tour of asia. we talk about the hanoi press conference our own peter doocy said he pulled in it all-nighter. in advance of that press conference. and again as he always says and i'i'mgoing to get probably maden of her saying this again but comparing or to the alternative not the almighty. and again. >> they do not need to run the almighty beating to run some who

can string together two sentences and demonstrate confidence. that'desperate competence. cuts these polls do not make a lot of difference you compare them to the same conversations we are having about barack obama who is down with all the different groups of people in 2012. he can win this and bring it back together. >> obama was down but not as much is this guy. and nobody, three out of four americans did not say stew over the job two out of every three americans did not say's not mentally up for it. we are in a fundamentally different place with joe biden and it is going to get worse for the democrats not better. >> how much of a headache as us for the white house? i know they will say this out he's but now you sealed the indictment of his son it was a tough week. >> the polling about his mental soundness of donald trump's mental sound this is going up steadily over the months. and his is going down that's a tough look. david is column has given him a punch and now he's dealing with the sun and these are antics of

his class and you cannot running from them. he is an eight reelection things are going to get intense. he's going cap to figure how to maneuver these views that are increasing about him and trying to disprove that he is up for the job. >> for more poll numbers we will dig into were going to leave it there don't go far. presidential hopeful vivek ramaswamy said he plans to fire 75% of all federal employees if he wins. one of his controversial positions bill asking about when he joins us live next.

we six are public and presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy said to take the stage this presidential primary debates. holding steady at 11% still in third place but now just two points behind ron desantis was dropped three points since the

first debates. vivek ramaswamy made headlines by vowing to fire 75% of federal government workers by the end of his first four-year term if elected. he is also promised to eliminate several federal agencies including the department of education and the fbi. geordie made out to discuss all of that and more is vivek ramaswamy welcome back to "fox news sunday." beck's good morning shannon. shannon: the circuit president trump has white and his commanding lead. at 60% now put many analysts say everyone else is playing for second place. what is the point of your campaign now? >> court focus is to take the america first agenda even further than donald trump did. we can do that as the next president of the united states. especially reaching young people in this country who are lacking and national pride.

i think the way we will revive this country is by answering even what it means to be it american today. we are in the middle of a national identity crisis but i have a vision for reviving the 1776 ideals that sets this nation into motion. i think we can still do it. we are not working with a lot of time to fight t two young sons graduate from high school if we are 10 or 20 years into this we haven't fixed that a quite frankly don't think we'l will he the same country left. i think this is our window to get it right. and i expect we will be successful but we came from 0.0% who are we are now. we are on track to win this election. shannon: your profile is growing but as it does our polling also knows unfavorable's are up this is the latest polling up 12-point since we pulled this in august. i want recent opinion piece but that this way. of all the descriptors attached the 38-year-old political enjoying a bizarre surge and the republican primaries for second

rate the most common seems to be annoying. why do you think is more people got to know you you unfavorable's are up to? >> well look, we have been taking intense criticism over the last several weeks since i perform well on the second debate. this is part of the process. i can invite the open debate many people are annoyed by might rise and believe a 38-year-old is too young to be u.s. president for the fact of the matter is thomas jefferson was 33 years old when he wrote the u.s. declaration of independence but he also invented the swivel chair where he is at it by the way. we need to revise that it will take someone who's best days ahead are still yet ahead in life to see a country whose best days are still ahead of itself. i do believe the united states of america can see our best days still yet ahead. we cannot be running from something i do not criticize the radical biden agenda that much because i think it's the wrong place to focus.

of course there is a lot to criticize. but we have to offer a vision of our own. not just what are we running from? what are we running to? revive meritocracy the pursuit of excellence, economic growth, free speech, open debate. these are basic values that most americans still agree with, shannon. that is why i am confident we have a chance to deliver a 1980 styled ronald reagan style moral mandate. that is how we will unite this country and i am in this race because i and the single best position candidate to do it. even though we've taken criticism from basically nearly every other candidate that is been threatened by my rise, i'm not running against any of them. i am running for this country that is the mission we are guided by. shannon: i want to delight the n grabbing it to topics i want to talk about your decision or announcement you' your fire 75%f the federal did not go over well here in washington as you can imagine but maybe that's your whole points. you and i are both lawyers you talked about statutory framework

you believe would like to do this. having a hard time finding scholars in the field who would agree with you specialist and separation of powers law he says the campaign white paper you have on it makes of law at columbia said took bits of statutory law out of context while ignoring the constitution is going to be tied up in legal framework and invites if you did get there. people cannot get student loans are processed this. >> the reality of it there presence from yale law school who have carefully advised on this due respect his books have been quoted by federal appellate court judges and their opinions. they've been duped by the standard advisor class the fact

of the matter is a service protections apply only to individuals, not mass layoffs for a personal understanding of the constitution. shannon: one with the practical implications? >> practically speaking so deeply practical policy protect the fbi shut down i propose that when turned the most heads. 35000 employees at the fbi. i've been clear will keep 15000 agents on the front lines. we won't move them to the u.s. marshals or to the drug enforcement agency. or to the financial crimes enforcement network at u.s. treasury. they have greater specialization and be more effective at enforcing the law today than they already are. this is deeply practical both for effectiveness as well as for reduction of cost and competitiveness for the department of education is the same thing. this will simulate our economy.

>> cracks you have said you would got that program. which allows us to hire politico says this the very system that you use in the past much of your wealth. a form of indentured servitude to the benefit of the company. why did the company you start use at 29 times in the last five years? quick shannon, i believe the energy system in this country energy regulation these drastic reform to us i still use water and turn on the lights. the fact of the matter is i have an understanding of the apparatus because i have dealt with that. as a ceo in an entrepreneur who's built multiple companies. i think it's a major plate replace the lottery system people need to appreciate it is eight lottery why on earth would you use a lottery when you could use meritocratic admission instead? restore it merits for this also lobbying based provisi base proe

companies who sponsor somebody that immigrant cannot work for a different company unless they te actual whole bureaucratic process to go through but with the got that system restore immigration which is skills not just tech skills but all kinds of skills to match the needs we have in this country. also >> commitment to this country protect the citizenship test on the back and move it to the front end even to get a be separate so i come for a place of understanding. i've played within the rules had been given to us by the government. part of my job as u.s. president is to reform those rules to help all americans. i won't apologize for restoring merit and deep bureaucracy rising that process. shannon: i do truly want to do lightning round foreign policy you seem to make the most clarifications let's talk about taiwan trade business insider has this. gop presidential hopefuls that he let china invade taiwan so long as the u.s. is gotten enough semi conductors. you have talked about us being independent on that front.

and at some point that would stab back the commitment to defend taiwan said the message we want to send to china? >> i want to be crystal-clear because every american should know this is one china policy towards china. i am the only candidate in either party who has been clear. we will defend taiwan at least until we get semi conductor independence. at which point we resume the current posture of strategic ambiguity. that is honest. shannon: want to have the independence that we do and semn semiconductors are you then signaling to china we would not defend? >> directly current posture the status quo accepted by both parties of strategic ambiguity. resume that but we need to upgrade our commitments to say we will defend taiwan for diving

crystal-clear i'm the only candidate in either party who said it. shannon: a couple clarifications on israel. you have said we would defend them. former vice president pence was with us a couple weeks ago here said he was really worried you would not use military -- to defend israel against iran the cop that deeply troubling. that we will do what it takes to defend israel. the issue no boots on the ground or is it saying no military equipment? >> is a written statement on the subject crystal-clear. i will defend israel militarily and conflict with iran. the disposition i challenge them to be clear about how many american men and women our sons and daughters with a son to die in another war in the middle east question i've heard crickets in response to that. the reality is we will defend militantly meant military that's

it for the blues in the not even israel is staunchest advocates in israel do have expectations of american men and women put boots on the ground in other countries. shannon: to sit on the issue of aid would only withdraw u.s. aid from israel once they tell us they no longer needed. cannot imagine any country saying they don't need the usa. >> the funny fact that one leader who has ever said it was a be be the israel of leader in the 19 '90s he said they did not need civilian eight anymore but which is why our relationship with israel is so strong. we can be candid with each other. he is candid some of us will have a great relationship it. shannon: you talked about and i talked about a greater vision for disengagement from the middle east. do you worry about a vacuum that would treat the message it sends to very bad actors in the neighborhood were israel lives who talk about why think that country off the map. what is this idea disengagement are the u.s. disengaging from middle east? >> this is my whole foreign policy by the number one threat we face is communist china.

realistically speaking i am a realist when it comes to foreign policy we have to direct our attention there. not to the ussr which does not exist anymore and compared to that middle east communist china as a top priority for the u.s. to defend against. that is why our alliance with israel's particular important we have to have a stable partner that ensures stability in the middlmiddle east for that so i t lead israel and abraham accord 2.0 and i am a realist when it comes to foreign policy, a certain american interest but keep your eye on that real thron the real threatthat is co. we should reckon with that and admit it or we are going to make serious mistakes of the next four years. shannon: are only scratching the service please come back tread when great to have you. >> thank you for your minor foxbusiness will be at the reagan presidential library later this month second republican primary debate watch it all on fox and fox news business on september 27. object special counsel jack smith is asking a judge to impose a gag order that would restrict the president trump can say in some respects about the

federal case against him in public. according to his heated statements on social media and the campaign trail are panel debates that do you ever feel dehydrated and need to feel better quickly? liquid labs from force factor hydrates better and faster than water alone. and, liquid labs is delicious, easy to use and affordable. rush to walmart and find liquid labs in the vitamin aisle. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're

>> a lot of times they said they don't like trout. but they let his policy. no, i think they like me too. >> the time for excuses is over. i do not want to see we need a mulligan after 2024. we need to get the job done. i can tell you this, i will get the job done. >> for president trump florida governor desantis talking about polls and what is at stake in the 2024 election. and events here in washington d.c. or back now with our panel but want to start some more polling because we asked people does the word corrupt describe present biter truck? the country seems evenly divided

on the issue of biden. but trump actually has a 14-point plus in favor of sounding corrupt. how does that play for him on the campaign trail? as a baked in for a lot of folks question because i think it's totally baked in two out of three people want another choice. i think there will be a choice that does not mean choices going to win. a lot of people i talked to are just begging. they do not want a repeat of this both the biden and trump have solidified their position and the party that is why they are both going to be the nominee's request to do her the polls people said they don't want this than overwhelmingly these are the two people leading their fields. with the question of who has the mental soundness only 36 perceived 61% say no you look at the trend president trump is trending upward. people feeling here is more mentally sound to serve. >> yes. that is it an interesting contrast we look the two

presidents. the corruption numbers are worst for donald trump the mental soundness numbers are better for donald trump this is a debate were going to be seeing. just breaking down the republican numbers for trump's legal woes is interesting too. they seem divided something is going to help somethings is going to work something it will not make a difference at all. one of my colleagues wrote a story recently at 38% of the trump supporters say they will not change their minds that's a pretty strong baked in support no matter what happens. >> with these legal cases by the way there has been a request filed by special counsel but the judge was overseeing one of the federal cases here asking for a bit of a gag order what president trump can say. this is what he talks but on the campaign trail all the time he knows it's working for him fox news reports of this. if approved by inc. is trying to get removed but prohibit for making statements identity testimony or credibility of

prospective witnesses. his team has said this is election interference it interferes with his first amendment rights. but the judge is pretty no-nonsense with suit she does with epic. >> absolutely but this is where the continuing saga's of this campaign as he attempts to run while he is facing for legal actions. already the campus saying he's not saying things for eight. because giving interviews because they do not want to put him in potential jeopardy of saying something that causes a problem for him and one of these legal cases. i am with bob partly. people don't want biden versus trump. if i were a betting man and i'm not a betting man i have to bet on biden trumping the nominees but i would take the field against them the party that figures out a new face ought to be its nominees a part of this one had the upper hand an in the 2024 election. people to just trust or dislike

us ever a good recipe. shannon: no labels are still sniffing around about a third party rank at these two are gridlocked in the polls say they aren't thrilled but either choice owns offer another option. democrats feel like that's going to work against them if that happens because it actually will you have to look at the history of the third-party bids in this country. but to bob's point that it is an interesting one. democrats are solidly united behind joe biden. he has at 76% in terms of the primary voting universe according to donald trump's numbers are still up as well. i think we are looking at the national polls through a partisan bifocals here. those numbers in terms of why donald trump is down nationwide art because democrats and independents are part of that pole and vice versa with joe biden. they've got serious support from the party base, it is true to bob's point we do not want to see a rematch in 2020. shannon: of that in mind who thanks we would possibly get a

third party? no labels is doing the work in the states to get on the ballot progress it will be on the bow them in x and a plan to do so i am with kevin. third parties typically do not have a impact in winning an election but they have an impact on deciding who loses the election. think about it. we had a big personality at ross perot at 19% of the vote. nothing in the electoral college. the last two candidates to get both work 1968 george wallace and strom thurmond 1938 both explicit racist running to oppose desegregation. >> who thanks it helps the republicans? >> absolutely one 100%. it is a shadow operation of half of republicans. >> thank you very much. a preview of the chat with a man in the my father didn't know his dad. with ancestry i dug and dug until i found some information.
