so far, she's garnered titles like picture of the year and the map for softball. could have never imagined i would come this far. you know, it was a really long journey, and the season was definitely my favorite throughout my four years, and i'm so glad i could experience it. sophia is headed to the east coast to play softball on scholarship and malloy university in long island, new york, best of luck to her in her new collegiate career. well if you missed any part of our show where you want to see it again, you can head to our website ktvu .com. we'll have it posted there shortly after this show. i'm cristina rendon. we'll see you next time on sports focus. >> shannon: i'm shannon bream. brand-new fox poll on the state of the race just a month ahead of the first republican

presidential debate. likelihood of another imminent inindictment. >> i didn't know practically what a subpoena was and grand juries and all of this, now i'm becoming an expert. >> shannon: former president donald trump waits to see if he will face charges and gets a court date in another. his rivals weigh in on his issues. >> i do not think it is criminal. it should not keep him from running. >> shannon: vivek ramaswamy joins us how discuss how he's trying to take a bite out of trump's base. questions about the conduct of hunter biden during his time on the board of burisma. and a slow walk into the investigation of hunter biden. we'll look at the increasing scrutiny surrounding hunter as democrats downplay it heading into the election year.

and president biden touts his administration's support for union workers. >> president biden: bidenomics is restoring the american dream. >> shannon: looming strikes could up end his efforts. talk with jared bernstein. >> there is a lot of energy in south carolina. good to be back in south carolina. >> it's a great day in carolina. >> shannon: candidate barn storm the palmetto state. our sunday panel break down new polls out of south carolina and iowa. all right now on "fox news sunday." >> shannon: hello from fox news in washington. one month from now, republican candidate for president set to face off for the first time in milwaukee. first they have to get to the debate stage. polling is just one part.

layout where the gop race stands in two key states. first iowa, first in nation caucus, survey of iowa republicans, former president trump leads by 30 points, followed by ron desantis at 16% and south carolina senator tim scott at. in south carolina, the formes f gone 14% nikki h% and tim scottt 10%. a lot can happen between now and the debate and between now and the first primary contest in '24. we're tracking it. joining us on republican candidate vivek ramaswamy. welcome back to "fox news sunday." start with the polls, we have iowa, you are in fourth place, trailing the former president by

40 points and behind former president trump and in single digits. in iowa, sixth place, 45 points behind former president trump, single digits. early states show you can't take off, you are not connecting with people. one rival campaign gives this quote, vivek ramaswamy is like the fajitas, they come on the fun plate, if you order it, it is too much, annoying to assemble and you wish you would have ordered taco. and they do not think you have a long-term play. do you? >> absolutely, shannon, we're on the rise to win this election and i'm one candidate in this race who is leading us to something. to our vision of what it means to be an american. that is resonating with voters. i began in march at 0.0% in the polls. national polling averages, i'm

polling at third nationally. that is ahead of even the first debate, when many people haven't gotten to know who i am. we are ahead of where donald trump was in 2015, nationally polling ahead of a former vice president in numerous governors and u.s. senators and i think we're just getting warmed up as grass-roots across this country are responding to our message. on the fundraising side, one thing different about me, i'm not a super pact puppet. other candidates have advertisements funded by their super packs. what is lifting us up is small dollar donors that have lifted this campaign up in adiz to large sizeable personal investments i've made. we don't want puppet, we want independent voice and patriot

that speaks the truth. >> shannon: former president trump, there is criticism you are not taking shots at him or not running against him. you think you will pardon him should you become president. he is facing another round of federal charges in connection with january 6. here is what you said in a tweet, what trump did last week was wrong, down right abhorrent and you referred to the disgraceful riot and trump's behavior. in your book you said he lost and claimed he didn't lose and raised millions off had supporters. why are you and the other candidates quick to defend him? are you worried about the punch you would take if you are critical of that behavior? >> to the contrary, i've been consistent that i would have made different judgement than donald trump made, that is why i'm running in this race for the

presidency, the race he is in. i would have made different judgement, that is not a when we conflate the two, that sets dangerous precedence, i do not want to use police force to arrest presidential opponents. now it would be easier to win this election if trump were not the front-runner, if trump were eliminated, but that is not right for the country. critics are right about one thing, i am not running against anyone in race, not against gop contenders or against biden, i'm running for this country. too long we have been running from something. i am leading us to something. to our vision of what itten moos

to american, i think that will be successful. >> shannon: reality is if you have to convince people to pick you over other candidates, we'll see. you are confident about making the debate stage, that will have to happen if you try to differentiate from each other. foreign policy, but we'll start with china. former president trump said about president xi just days ago. >> think of president xi, when i say he is brilliant, that is terrible. he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist, brilliant. >> shannon: you talk about the threats you think china is. that description of brilliant and iron fist, most consider him a dictator. how do you describe president xi? >> xi jinping is a dictator and china is the top threat that the united states faces.

i think i'm clearest candidate in offering clear path to declaring economic independence from china, first step in our policy fchl that had been a russian spy balloon, we would have shot it dow and ratcheted up sanctions. we didn't for the chinese spy balloon, we are afraid of our economic dependence on them. i would be in the pacific, different from trump's strategy and lead declaration of independence from china and i would end the ukraine war on terms that require putin to exit military alliance with xi jinping, russia-china alliance is military threat. i have qualified for the debate stage and this one area i'm different from the other candidates in the field and it is good to have debate about

national security. this affects american interest. china is the top threat and i see my foreign policy through that lens. >> shannon: you mention interaction between china and russia, you warn the partnership is potentially devastating to the rest of the world. you mention your plan for ukraine. here is how the "washington post" describes it, russia would withdraw nuclear weapons from surrounding area, rejoin the nonproliferation start accord and see most of the donbas region to russia and end efforts to have ukraine join nato temperature is not our land to give away, but why reward this murderous behavior of putin by giving him what he wants on a couple fronts? land that is not lawfully his and keeping ukraine out of nato, he said that is behind this land

grab. >> with due respect, nato was created to deter the u.s.s.r.nato has expanded more than during their existence. ask the question of what advances american interest. the top american interest is pulling apart of russia-china alliance, that ends the ukraine war and stops us from funding hundreds of billions of dollars to protect somebody else's border. we could be protecting our own border thchl is how we deter xi jinping from going after taiwan. xi jinping bet is that the u.s. will not want to go to war with two allied nuclear super powers, russia and china at the same time. if russia is no longer in xi jinping's camp, china will have to think twice before going after taiwan. that is how we deter the invasion of taiwan while

avoiding going to war. my foreign policy accomplishes both goals. >> shannon: if president xi jinping sees we took land and gave him land that was not his . >>g does not reason based on analogy, hesed on hard. russia has largest nuclear stock pile in the world, they have hyper sonic missile capabilities, combine with china naval capacity in addition to economic independence on china. however, if russia is no longer allied with china, that weakens xi jinping position. we end the ukraine war and address the taiwan situation while avoiding war in one fail

swoop and it is shocking nobody in either political party is talking about it, which gives me greater confidence and i have deep understanding of geopolitics, greater conviction it will take an outsider to get the deal done and effectively negotiate a deal. in a good deal, everyone has to get something out of the trade, putin will get something out of it, get far more in return, that is how we secure national security interest. >> shannon: favorite topic, supreme court, you released another page out of president trump's book. it is not just supreme court, lower level, as well. new york magazine intelligence describes if you are lower court judge who has extremist ruling on hot button issue, you have a good shot at appearing on vivek ramaswamy list. you know how divisive the battles have gotten, what do you

make of the assessment of your nominee? >> i think that assessment is appropriate assessment if we're picking the right judges, i think the supreme court has done out standing job, i think that was one of president trump's great accomplishments. one of my top objectives is to restore the constitutional republic with three co-equal branches of government. i'm going in as u.s. president to shut down the deep state, the administrative state. what we've done with judges, find judges who share my opinion of the constitution, who shares my view of the unconstitutionality of the administrative state and understand unique threat to liberty in the 21st century. i'm the only candidate who identified specific judges, both for appellate court and supreme courts and i think that is driving our recent surge in

polling across the country, shannon, the specifics that i'm offering, not just on policy, on personnel, as well. that transparency will help us. >> shannon: we'll see you on the campaign trail, thank you. fox news is your place for the first debate in milwaukee issue bret baier and martha maccallum will moderate, candidate take the stage 9:00 eastern. up next, this presidential election is uncharted territory, new round of criminal charges and allegations of corruption within the president's family, public documents go public, our legal panel with in-depth analysis next. and we would experience turbulence. i would watch the flight attendants. if they're not nervous, then i'm not going to be nervous. financially, i'm the flight attendant in that situation. the relief that comes over people once they know

>> when you work a criminal case there is willfulness, whether anyone with any evaded income taxes or filed a false return. that is one thing that sets us,a part from a civil case. this case we provided a ton of evidence that showed willfulness. >> shannon: that is joe ziegler, known as whistleblower x giving his side of the story on me on friday. he is one agent claiming irregularity in the president's taxes. professor jonathan turley and thomas dupree. so glad i could spend an hour with you guys, so much legal news. start with what mr. ziegler told me there. he said there was a point he had a conversation with the investigative agent side and the attorneys and prosecutors

involved. he thought there was some understanding of multiple felony and misdemeanor charges and the whole th in the plea deal. what do you make of this? >> jonathan: the whistleblower testimony was riveting and a bombshell, the fact you have career employee, who is not a republican partisan and evident he was unhappy and uncomfortable having to testify. the story he told was compelling, he felt he was handcuffed and talked about how the agents, career employees had assembled enough evidence of willfulness for stronger charges. it appears may have been political appe. we have enough evidence to move forward on criminal charges, it got quashed, it is disturbing.

>> shannon: we have david weiss here who maintains hhad authority to do what hand said same. at national review, the editors, including our buddy andy mccarthy, weiss had ultimate authority over where to file charges, weiss backed this story, but he changed his tune since the whistleblower disclosure began. weiss strain to avoid contradicting them while echoing garland, a needle that can't be threaded. can they work together? can they be true? if not, who has the answers? >> jonathan: they cannot all be true, that is what we're beginning to see after this hearing. what was disturbing is that it turns out that people inside of the justice department were raising what some were raising outside the justice department,

we were writing columns saying isn't statute of limitations about to run? why aren't you doing anything on the crimes from 2014 and 2015? whistleblowers said we raised the issue and theres a deal to extend the statute of limitations and weiss allowed it to run. why did he tell whistleblowers he didn't have the authority, why did it mysteriously die? all of those are very serious questions and why this scandal is becoming one of the most significant of my lifetime. if half of this is true, this is a major scandal in the united states. >> shannon: one thing the whistleblowers talked about and gary shapley lays this out in a timeline, he was first to go public on this case. he said when it came to the hunter biden laptop, which figured prominently in the week

leading up to the 2016 election, the fbi knew it was legitimate. house judiciary committee talked to laura demlow, and they released a transcript of the conversation on monday. somebody from twitter asked if the laptop was real in october of 2020 meeting. one fbi folks on the call confirmed yes, it was, before another said no further comment. that lines up with what shapley was telling us, saying they knew by november or december of 2019 this stuff was legitimate and we were publicly being told this was russian disinformation. according to whistleblowers, sounds lieb the fbi knew it was real. >> absolutely, that is what this evidence establishes, people at

the fbi knew what they had in their possession and didn't publicly expose it or acknowledge it. they didn't want the american people to know it was true and verified before the election. keep in mind, this investigation spanned years, far longer than any tax investigation would and ends with a whimper and people are looking back at evidence the fbi had years before, all raising questions, why weren't charges brought sooner and most importantly, why wasn't the fbi forthcoming with evidence it knew to be true, valid and legitimate. >> shannon: 1023 form, senator grassley released, they said it could create danger for the informant that came forward and alleges conversations with burisma executives saying allegedly they were forced to pay the bidens money for help

with various issues. these are unverified allegations, but we have seen people in wash ush wa, steele dossier come to mind, launch a number of investigations. this form, barr said it was sent to the weiss investigation, i asked the latest whistleblower, joe ziegler if he saw this form as part of the investigation as irs agent on this case, here is what he told me. >> i had never seen that document before, i had never seen that 1023, the reason that 1023 might have been important, that can validate what we are trying to prove in the case. all information is necessary for the lead irs case agent to have. >> shannon: jonathan, can you assess why that didn't land on his desk? >> jonathan: no, they testified they were denied ability to be

debriefed on what was coming out of the fbi on this issue. and bill barr said he sent this issue to pittsburgh and the u.s. attorney's office found additional information that the fbi did not and sent it to delaware and it seems like the fbi is place where evidence goes to die. send evidence to the fbi, if it has the name biden on it, it dies rapid death. we have no idea why this was not shared. the key about the 1023, it mirrors perfectly what the house committee found, describing how bidens prefer to use accounts and banks to hide payments and no payments would go to the big guy, term we've seen on the laptop and this was all effort to conceal transactions. that is what the committee found

in looking at transacs no reason this would be indepe information they had access to. >> shannon: the fbi did not want the form released. it is unverified and democrats say it is not a link to the president itself, it is a partisan witch hunt, that is their take. we want all sides heard here, concerns about that document. we found out president trump's federal trial on document case may 20, 2024, tom, you know better than most, pretrial things that have to happen. do you think we get to the trial in may? >> tom: i would say it is 50/50, the judge struck a compromise position. everyone thought she was in trump's camp and the decision she came out with struck a middle ground. it wasn't what the trump team

wanted or the biden team wanted. the trump team will move to knockout this indictment on various ground, prosecutorial misconduct to the authority of special counsel to bring prosecution in the first place. the judge has a lot on her hands and the lawyers will have to weigh through documents to present defense. may is ambitious, a lot of ground will have to be covered, wouldn't surprise me if it is pushed back further. >> shannon: we'll see if there is another round of federal criminal charges in weeks ahead. tom dupree and jonathan turley, thank you. up next, bidenomics boom or bust? might depend on your perspective. how does it lineup with your daily reality? we'll talk with the president's top economic adviser, he is live next. ♪ when bucket lists need checking...

congratulations on your senate confirmation. >> thank you. >> shannon: with that in mind, talk about polls, that is where we start when you visit. monmouth university polling says 3-10 americans feel americans are doing better since the pandemic and fox news polling, how are policy affecting your family? 31% say not doing anything, 41% say actively hurting american families. what is your message to them? is their experience no legitimate or valid? >> people are the best arbiter of how they are doing. what american households have gone through, a once in a century pandemic, global inflation unleashed by pandemic, putin invasion of ukraine weigh on consumer confidence and sentiment and this president

kept his head down and tried to make sure families and businesses got to the other side of the crisis in tact and in good economic health and that is what happened. we have unemployment rate below 4% for a year and a half, 50-year record. 13 million jobs, 800,000 in manufacturing and inflation down two-thirds off the peak. if we were talking a year ago, inflation was two-thirds hayer and gas prices down $1.50. now with bidenomics in action and some vestments playing out, 35,000 investments in 4500 communities across the country, we are seeing results. posted highest consumer confidence reading since january of '22. highest reading since september

of '21. as favorable trends continue and bidenomics continues to take hold, measures will unfold. >> shannon: a lot to break down. when the president took office inflation 1.4% and sky rocketed toin 92. it is positive it moved temperature is above where we were when he got started. prices are up for all kind of things, wages outpaced 27 out of 30 months. people have eaten their savings. reporting on people using apps that allow them to pay in installments for things like groceries. "washington post," with inflation at record high, industry experts feel more americans lean on the services buy now and pay later to afford food and school supplies. what does it say if people are using layaway plans for eggs and

milk? >> the health of our economy, look at unemployment rate low and gdp strong and outpacing expectations month after month and quarter after quarter. a couple of facts. real wages have been growing over the past year. they are up 1.2% for private sector workers and 1.6 for middle and lower wage workers, that means bargaining power and some of the pieces of bidenomics helping to sustain that great job market is giving workers more bargaining power thchl is pillar of bidenomics, empowering the workforce. inflation has come down faster than wage growth. we have and this is contrary to one thing you just said, we have wages growing faster than inflation and that is a welcome change. it is -- relatively new. >> 27 out of 30 months that was

not true, a lot of catching up. >> it is relatively new and point i made out of the gate, takes a while for people's sentiment to catch up given what they have been through. we have every reason to believe the trends will persist and seen prices come down for beef and chicken. gas, here is good way to think about it, rising wages and falling prices. if you pull up to the pump a year ago, you could get five and a half gallons of work for an hour of work. now you get eight gallons for that hour of work. 40 plus percent improvement. >> shannon: what about when we started, it is now $3.60 a gallon, we are in a worse place. >> yes, depends on your benchmark. a year ago or at the peek, we have barrel of oil at $1.20 a

barrel and now 77 a barrel. we had gas north of $5, $5.02 and now about $3.60. we are moving in the rightll st households had to deal with, key factor behind bidenomicses. i've been an economist for a bunch of years and never seen economy where you get six points off inflation, two-thirds down without giving up anything on unemployment rate. when inflation comes down that far, we expect worse results. this is achievement of president biden and bidenomics. >> shannon: this is painful in areas, we think of housing and mortgage rate hovering 7%, the

hill says high home prices and climbing mortgage rates hamper affordability, pushing perspective buyers to highest level on record. if trying to find a new home, it is tough to do that, for most, it is biggest single expenditure in the budget. it has gotten significantly worse on this president's watch. in term of rent, we have seen rental prices go back down to where they were pre-pandemic and that is one main reason, housing is one main components of consumer price index, which is down two-thirds from peak. it is something we track closely at the cea. you have point that the president stands by, we have to do more in this country to expand supply of affordable housing and if you look at our

budget, we put serious resources in that and bring two things to your attention especially with congress over there. we need their help. one is to really push back hard on exclusionary zoning, public enemy number one, comes to improving supply of affordable housing, it has important equity implications. >> shannon: you are talking about building multi unit -- >> multi unit and single housing. we have ambest of my recollection plans, if you want grants or loans, show us your plan and we will upgrade your bid. second, low income tax credit, president has expansion of that in the budget, that is something builders like and financial sectors like. builderless can sell tax credit to the bank. congress needs to get off whatever it is they are not

focusing on and look at housing issues and try to human with progress we've been making on inflation. >> shannon: talk about other folks worried we are not moving in the right direction. these are ceos, they are not convinced we have avoided recession msnbc said, corporate ceos are doing, 93% of them report preparing for recession over next 12 to 18 months. if business executives are worried why shouldn't the rest of us be? >> i don't know if i remember having an in-depth discussion about the economy, when you have not raised recession and we have not had a recession and again, statistics continue to come in above expectations. of course we have to look around corners, that is my job. if you look at factors that lead to recession, they tend to be job market deteriorating, income

deteriorating. something you said a minute ago, i want to point out, household balance sheets have been in good shape, people build up savings. >> shannon: people have run through it. they are burning off, no question issue but they have tailwind of one of the strongest labor markets in generations behind them, fuelling consumer spending. consumer spending is almost 70%, when you have excess savings, we'll see where we are, we are not in recession and i like the momentum we have. >> shannon: americans continue to pile up credit card debt, edging close to trillion dollars. americans owe 1.knife in auto loans, student debt and 12 million in home loans, americans owe record 17 trillion.

we can be spending, if people wipe out their spending debt, are they following washington's example? >> best way to understand that, what kind of? debt service relative to income and i will post this on my twitter feed. >> shannon: i follow you. >> thank you, if you look, you will see historically low level and one reason is because again, people's balance sheets did great during the pandemic. they were saving and couldn't go out. when this president came to office, his goal was to get families and businesses to the other side of the crisis and set them up for a strong recovery. check, that has been done, we see it in action. second part of the plan is to reverse decades of trickle-down investment and reinvest in

america so growth momentum can keep going, ev's, semiconductor, battery technology, investments flouish across the country. i like where we are and bidenomicses is going to keep these trends going in the right direction. >> shannon: i hope for the sake of america, you are right, you have a difficult job and glad you stopped by to talk about it. up next, new florida standard on teaching black history sparking a fight between ron desantis and vice president kamala harris. our panel on that controversy next. what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us proud, huh? ♪ bye, uncle limu. ♪

>> middle school students in florida to be told that enslaved people benefited from slavery. how is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization? >> shannon: vice president kamala harris taking on the desantis administration in florida on friday over the state's standards for teaching black history.

our sunday group, francesca chambers, juan williams, guy benson on fox news radio and katie pavlich. welcome, everyone. i want to read from the actual text of what we're talking about before we get into it. i read through the social studies curriculum, there are dozens of things they want students to learn. this is part of it. examine various duties and traded performed by slaves, agricultural work, how slaves developed skills which could be applied for personal benefit. guy, personal benefit have struck a nerve. >> i think the vice president is being willfully ignorant on dishonest, she is demagoguing. this is group of scholars that put together this curriculum,

many black scholars and there is rigorous amount of information that students must be taught on issues. this one piece of it is a very small piece that for example, encyclopedia published says the same thing, system that amerged and developed skills of enslaved people, skills that created benefit for slaves, they were able to purchase their freedom and earn a living. there are well respected scholars who put together this curriculum and to focus in on it like florida is teaching kids that slavery was a jobs program that benefited slaves is gross micharacterization and i commend charles cook's piece which is thorough on this. >> shannon: two members from the working group, both africanern m, dr. allen and rice issued this statement, saying any attempt to reduce slaves to

victims of oppression do not recognize a difficult time in american history. stude students should learn about the community of african descendants. >> juan: sounds like booker t. washington. this is an attempt to distort reality. you know what, jews picked up skills in contragz camps or engineers learned a lot when planes crashed into the buildings. i don't think anybody in this world will tell you i go into slavery to pick up skills about chopping wood temperature is absurd and this week so many racial controversy surrounding republicans.

despite supreme court order, refuse to create majority second black district in alabama. you have situation we have seen in texas, as well, and think about the aldean controversy with country music making video in front of a courthouse where lynching occurred, near where the ku klux klan was startd and say it is not about race. desantis is playing culture war with this in damaging, divisive way. >> shannon: i encourage people to look at the full context of all included in the lessons. first thing it says, instruction will include what life was like for the early slaves, a lot to pack. katie, start with the curriculum and talk about the video. >> katie: the curriculum is 216 page long and one statement that the biden administration has used as a political talking

point against ron desantis, because they see him as a threat. the curriculum talks about the conditions and talk about south preventing slaves from reaching the underground railroad, it is not the whole story, majority is about slavery and for them to use this one reference without going through the curriculum does a disservice. if you read through this, everybody would be interested to learn more about the history that is embodied in this curriculum and they are taking a single sentence out of 216 pages and using for cynical purposes, which is not beneficial to anyone or the country. >> shannon: i hear the frustra frustration juan williams voice. apparently other movies have been filmed there, there is a

sense of frustration >> vice president kamala harris had heard about the curriculum and wanted to go to florida to talk about this directly and pair this with other things the vice president has talked about education in florida, this is something you can expect her to focus on. the white house is running against this, the president is focused on bidenomics. and you have the vice president of the united states focused on this stuff and abortion rights, white house fighting both on the economic front and against the republican culture wars in 2024. >> shannon: talk about more polls, this morning out of south carolina and iowa, take a look, president trump clearly running away with it, plus 30 points. first is iowa. interesting to look at who is your second choice? people were asked who second

choice would be, ron desantis far and away highest second choice, second choice among ron desantis supporters donald trump. saw same in north carolina. francesca, a lot of crossoveren 22 the two. the president started taking swipes and they seem to be pulling from the same pool 've interested voters >> republicans will descend there this weekend and make their case. chris christie not one of the republicans speaking at that dinner this weekend. as you can see in polling, there is a lot of work for several candidates to do. when you are looking at ron desantis in particular, looking at iowa, 16%. that is far behind donald trump at 46%, that is a state donald trump lost last time. you heard mr. ramaswamy talk

about 2000 scan. this is not 2016. come up with strategy how they will beat donald trump in the early states. >> shannon: des moines register about ron desantis not spending enough time there. they say republicans say if desantis wants to gain momentum, start hitting campaign trail in earnest in smaller meet and greets and talk to iowans one-on-one and we are getting word from his campaign that is what he is going to start doing, a bus tour and spending time on the ground, part of reset of the campaign. >> katie: they said they believe stories about campaign getting reshuffled, it is not an existential threat, they want his name out there, he did well in an interview with cnn. this is a race for second place,

donald trump is beating everybody by 30% and donors have been trying to find a candidate they believe can convince trump voters to come to ron desantis, tim scott, vivek ramaswamy, even nikki haley and that is not happening. numbers game of how many people are in this race is splintered and until it is one-on-one race or one on two race, things will not change the republican primary and base is with donald trump. >> shannon: tim scott continues to tick up, i think third in iowa in our polling and he a pack aligned with him has 40 million ad buy, a huge headline. there have been a lot of big headlines involving form upper president trump. tim scott is sneaking up on people. >> yeah, and nikki haley is in second place in south carolina. big headline is donald trump is in absolutely dominant position. if someone will sneak up on him,

consolidate the nontrump people and win over trump supporters. right now whether desantis or anyone else, that is not happening close to the extent need to to give someone a shot. >> shannon: juan. >> juan: ron desantis has not caught fire, he doesn't seem to have it, he doesn't inspire fun and comedy and just laughter, no charisma. even in new hampshire, he used to be in the lead, and now he's down in iowa. as trump might slip with the indictments and controversy, it is still the case that ron desantis, republican establishment wanted him to succeed, the money is there, just hasn't caught fire. >> shannon: another poll in new hampshire shows that tight eping, president trump down five points. we love early polls and breaking down with the panel. thank you. see you next sunday.
