we have with us can derek and ron christie. n, is this a big deal that donald trump is missing out on this forum? goad missing out on this forum? good evenin: missing out on this forum? good evening to _ missing out on this forum? good evening to you — missing out on this forum? good evening to you once _ missing out on this forum? good evening to you once again, - missing out on this forum? (13mm evening to you once again, nancy. yes, i think the big mistake. i think when you want to be the president of the united states, you need to ask voters to give the trust, the privilege and the opportunity to represent them. and if you play by the polls and you say, well, i'm 25 or 30 points ahead, i don't need to go to this, the voters in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina want to touch and feel and interact with the candidates. the notion that you have a candidate regardless of who they are, whether it's the former president or one of the aspiring politicians who would seek to displace mr biden, you've got to show up. not showing up,

let's bring in our panellists, lord kim derek and ron christie.with you, kim, what do you make of this big diplomatic push from india que yellow i think that macron is trying to make france india's strategic partner in europe and inviting him to bastille day is quite a big thing. find and inviting him to bastille day is quite a big thing.— quite a big thing. and there are some quite _ quite a big thing. and there are some quite big _ quite a big thing. and there are some quite big sales _ quite a big thing. and there are| some quite big sales associated quite a big thing. and there are - some quite big sales associated with this, arms sales, rafaeljets and submarines. modi has been f ted in the white house and the british prime minister has a good relationship with him. so he is chairing the g20 i think, the next t20 meeting. so this is a big moment diplomatically for india. i have to say though i think there are still some questions about prime minister modi. i think his neutrality on ukraine is a difficult thing to explain. after all, russia is b

and i think that shows. >> read, you just saw former new jersey chris christie go after ron desantis.particular line was slightly cringiness christy sang. how can you blame your staff when you are the guy in charge. that does remind you of what his own excuses work during bridge gate. but that aside, christy is landing serious punches. whether it is against trump, desantis or his other opponents. and democrats are actually absolutely cheering it on. but do you think he has an actual chance? how are republicans responding to the chris christie unfiltered. >> he has always been unfiltered. one of his things was unlikely ron desantis to be honest with you was that kristie could be rough, you could be a tough guy. but he was somehow charming and enduring when he did it. ron desantis has not. that let ron be wrong. candidates and their campaigns are reflections of one another and that is an ugly reflection. that makes dorian gray look like a good deal right and so what i would say here is that christie is going after, but he knows this stuff and, he knows he does not have much chance at th

sort of poll shows chris christie nipping at ron desantis heals the first primary state of new hampshireetend and what is next in the race? restoring america editor of the washington examiner. it seems pretty exciting up in the granite state what does this mean in terms of the new poll in what chris christie is doing? >> i think it means the gop primary field is definitely going to be a very crowded one for everyone wants to get their hands in the slice of the pie and yet it remains to be seen whether any of them can get close to where donald trump is the race right now. you know he has not committed to participating in the first debate but it is pretty clear there is still a massive desire from voters for his candidacy so i guess we will see moving forward whether chris christie, ron desantis, nikki haley whether any of these guys can come close to where they're at. sue for what the former president skips the debate what will he do? >> i think it's likely he does skip the debate. to be honest he does not need to participate he has the name recognition pretty has the money. putting himse

>> steve: good question, we have seen the former president go after ron desantis, chris christie, nikkialey. why isn't he going after you yet? >> the fact is unlike many of the other candidates in this race, steve, i'm not running against anybody, i'm running for this nation. i'm not running from something, i'm running to something. the truth is, i think president trump was an excellent president, i agree with him on a lot of policies. i will lead us forward and take the america first agenda to the next level. it belongs to the people of this country, the character i'm running this race. this will make it difficult for other candidates to attack me, i'm not attacking them either. >> steve: you are rising in the poll. "washington post" said vivek ramaswamy runs trump 2.0, outsider with extreme proposals. you would think from the outside, that is a positive thing, it goes on to describe you as you are like trump, only more extreme. >> you know, i disagree with that characterization of more or less extreme. i'm taking america first agenda further than trump did. the wall was insufficient,

the fact, is chris christie is in this race for one reason, to torpedo donald trump. imagine if rony of these other individuals who were running for president of the united states had the fortitude of chris christie in attacking donald trump and standing principally on whatever issues. the problem with chris christie is, he left the new jersey governor's mansion with a 12% approval rating, so he's not going to be the nominee. if somebody else had his kind of tact or some people may say lack thereof, or his ability to punch a bully in the mouth, this race would be different. but this is going to be donald trump versus joe biden right after the iowa primary. this race is about over. >> david, do you agree with that? do you think that if ron desantis, for example, who is second in the race according to polls, although a very, very far behind second, do you think if he started aggressively going after donald trump on all the issues that republicans have concerns about when it comes to him, not the base but other republicans such as, you know, his behavior leading up to and on january 6t

ron desantis expect everybody to be there governor christie is poking him, calling him a coward if hesn't show up. everyone needs him there. one of the biggest prize surprises is one of the people that has not qualified yet is vice president mike pence e has not hit the 40,000 threshold with the 1%. he needs 40,000 separate donations. but governor desantis, i guess, is the first mini crisis. got the money. maybe overspent. not resonating like he thought, and has toe rejigger some of his lineup. has to super pacs and start going to hostile territory beginning today and then possibly two or three times after. >> steve: getting a clear picture of the status of all the candidates right now. over the weekend it was the filing deadline for how much they raised. your point about mike pence, he has only raised $1.2 million. ron desantis in the last quarter raised 20 million, but it was largely big donors. and the worry is, and there is mike pence right there, former vice president. the worry for ron desantis is the lack of grassroots because a lot of governor desantis' donors are big donors.

can a ron desantis or chris christie or whoever get some momentum in new hampshire, iowa, south carolinaake that surprise and move it into a momentum game into super tuesday when you have got the rnc rules changing in that once you get to super tuesday, the delegates are awarded on a winner take all basis. there are some -- won't bore you with the details but generally if a candidate can get to a plurality, if they win with 30% of the vote and everyone else is below that, they get all the delegates. that means that they are basically wiped out. the second part of this, rich, is money. you've got a good 5 or 6 candidates -- i think we know who they are -- they are going to be able to raise the money they need to stay through iowa and new hampshire. there are a lot of them, too, they might not be able to deep this up if they can't get 1, 2, 3, 5% of the vote. i think they will start dropping out. where those votes go is going to really determine whether a real challenger emerges to president trump. >> rich: you heard the argument from a number of these republicans that they cannot win with

ron desantis deploying his wife. i want to quickly ask you before i let you go, chris christie has had a little bit of criticism of ronrump. does it chris christie's tactic of going after trump actually help desantis's profile, to make him seem like a more -- because look, you i and david all know that christie has no chance. he's a sacrificial lamb on that gop debate stage. >> chris christie is the king of kamikaze politicians. and so yes, good luck with that, chris. one other quick thing about desantis and his wife, jeb bush deployed his mom after the -- and now desantis is employing his wife. that is never a good sign when the candidate himself can't close the deal. just pay attention, the trajectory isn't a good one for him. as far as chris christie, and it doesn't help desantis, not really because ron desantis is his own worst enemy. it doesn't really matter what anybody else does. people aren't going to gravitate towards ron desantis and his it mini fascism that he is employing in florida. do you really want to scale that up? if the argument is about winning, ron desantis is not going to win anything outside of

donald trump, ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy, mike pence, nikki haley, tim scott and chris christie.s as we are getting twoew snapshots from the early voting states. iowa, it's trump by a lot. with tim scott now surging to third in south carolina, an even bigger trump lead with nikki haley and ron desantis in a tie for number two. manu raju and analyst jackie kucinich joining our conversation. jeremy diamond is still here. i mean, wow. those polling numbers are -- i mean you have donald trump looking in the rearview mirror and everybody else is becoming smaller. >> particularly in south carolina. because of tim scott and nikki haley. he is a cuent elected official from south carolina. quite a popular one as well. >> the south carolina numbers. >> and nikki haley, you know, former governor, was well liked as governor there, and look at that. they just can't get any headway. will the debate allow them to do that? we don't know. that seems to be the only opening because they've been living in these states for months now. >> you're seeing a lot of these folks who had hoped for an alterna

i think it is a sign of distress that you have ron desantis deploying his wife but i want to quickly ask you, before i have to let you go. chris christiehas how low bit of criticism of ron desantis, but not nearly as much as me going up after donald trump. that's chris christie's tactic of going after trump actually help desantis's profile, to make desantis seem like a more viable candidate, because, look you and i and david all know that christie has no. chance he has no chance, he's a sacrificial lamb on the gop debate stage. >> yeah, chris christie is the king of kamikaze politicians so yeah good luck with that, chris. one other quick thing about desantis and his wife, jeb bush -- jeb bush deployed his mom, and now desantis is employing his wife. so that is never a good sign when the candidate himself cannot close the deal. so to pay attention. the trajectory is not a good one for him. and as far as chris christie, and what doesn't help desantis not really, because iran desantis is his own worst enemy and it doesn't really matter what anyone else does. people are not gonna gravitate -- gravitate towards ron desantis and his many fas

ron desantis. this is chris christie he is taking aim directly at the former president and the date now set for i was first in the nation caucuses. alexandria hoff keeping an eye on all with the very latest. hi alexander. >> let's talk about that date. gerry 15th is the earliest votes will be cast in a republican primary in iowa since 2012. day on "sunday morning futures" governor ron desantis at his campaign is doing the work that is needed and it is his ground game in early voting states he says is going to pay off. >> it's not a national primary parade that is not how these things are going for it it's on ground in those key states. you've got to have the organization. that is what we focused on end by the way, we just announced last week a better fundraising that any not income but has ever had. >> meanwhile plumber president trump made quite the entrance to usc 290 in las vegas last night grace met with cheers from mma fans was accompanied by ufc president dana white sprayed that came after verbal punches were thrown by the current gop front runner at his nearest opponents. that was havel who wa

presidential candidate chris christie compared the feud between ron desantis and trumpet to a food fightregardless of who the winner is he hopes there is leftovers. saw that one coming. thank you. the newest missions impossible for me out in australia this week, this time tom and the gan face the most impossible missio yet to convince people to see indiana jones five. you notice that tom cruise has gained a lot of weight freight chicago hosted its first nascar event that went pretty well, only four of the drivers were carjacked. joseph pet dog food marketing whiz behind she had pets and their iconic commercials has died at the age of 91. his family plans to grow him back in 1-to weeks. a new government report outline research for walking out the su due to global to slow down global warming and even including an artist rendering o what one deprived humans might look like in 100 years. according to a new survey pliny is are the biggest liars of any current generation. i was just talking about that with my ex-. she can't keep a secret. finally a new trend shows that receiving filler shots f

and going back to whether it's christopher wray, whether it's chris christie or even ron desantis, donalds on his team, when people speak well of donnell trump, he loves them -- donald trump, he loves them and he praises them. but when they are in opposition to him whether they're running against him, they said something against him, all of a sudden they're no longer good. and we see that with christopher wray. i would agree with everything rich said regarding the fbi director. and i have to just say one thing about chris christie, you know, i'm liking this chris christie. the problem is i'm old enough to remember the other chris christie and, you know, as eminem would say, would the real slim shady please stand up. howard: he wants you to think about this chris christie. >> about that kennedy clip, there's no other presidential candidate who would relay that conversation, and this is just trump. he breaks the rules, he says whatever he wants, and it makes him interesting so we're talking about, and a lot of republicans interpret that as strength. howard: a lot of people would say, well,

chris christie, asa hutchinson, ron desantis tying himself in knots around this.yesterday where the mildest criticism that he issued of trump in saying trump could have done more, should have done more on january 6th and what he appeared to be referring to was to try to stop the violence that was taking place at the capitol, was then jumped on by his own campaign who criticized people amplifying it, criticized trump's advisers amplifying it saying his words are being taken out of context. i think it reflects, abby, the dynamics in the republican primary which is that a number of republican voters don't want to hear criticism of trump, do want to hear republicans defend him, do want to echo what trump has basically instructed these republicans to say. and unless folks are willing to take him on directly, and we will see what happens on a debate stage next month, depending on whether trump shows up and depending on who makes that debate stage, but we will see what happens in terms of whether people are willing to directly take this on and say more forcefully if they

donald trump, ron desantis, ni nikki haley, chris christie, they, of course, also have to have at leastr a combination of national and state polls and sign a pledge to support the eventual nominee. governor asa hutchinson is among those who has reached 1%, did you not the donor threshold. this photo he held up in iowa has some suggesting he has a tough road ahead of him. the picture has gone viral because it appears to show just six people in attendance. joining us now is former arkansas governor asa hutchinson. thank you for coming on, governor. did that photo accurately depict how many people showed up? is that a sign your campaign isn't catching on? >> well, whenever you look at my campaign in iowa where i am today, we have had large crowds. we have had small crowds, and, you know, there's some benefit to meeting with a smoall group f people where they get to ask questions. let's not diminish the small things in a campaign. they add up and i enjoy the question and answer. i was in a restaurant where i was shaking hands and i enjoy that kind of engagement here in iowa. our campaign is

ron desantis is great -- like chris christie, great in adversarial situations. him in there and the best comes out. the guy doing the best is vivek ramaswamy. the guy has been awesome. and the craziest situation he walks out with a smile and is he so smart, i think he -- one way or another, he will emerge out of this even stronger. >> steve: i'm sure you have seen the promo, when it comes to eyeballs, if candidates are looking for people to persuade to vote for them, i saw a commercial on the fox news channel that said more independents and more democrats watch the fox news channel than any other channel historically over the last number of years. so that's why bobby kennedy is going to be on and marianne is going to be on, was on a couple of days ago. joe biden if you want to come on, come on. and, of course. >> brian: gavin newsom just did sean hannity for a three-part series. >> steve: and he says that apparently he watches the fox news channel every night. >> brian: says he is obsessed. >> steve: every night. >> ainsley: burned into our tvs, fox. >> steve: t

ron desantis is a good national candidate. i don't think that what someone like chris christie is doing or even some of the things tim scott is ice things to say about the campaign nikki haley is running. ron desantis is not good at retail politics. it's retail politics that gets votes to help you win elections. >> you cannot do it. she cannot advise rhonda scientists even one asked asheville television. speak the truth, my friend. we appreciate you. coming up at four pm, simone is going to speak to congresswoman sydney kamlager-dove about everything from u.s. assistance in ukraine to reforming the supreme court as well. make sure to catch simone every weekend at 4:00 following our show and on peacock with new episodes every monday. thank you, simone. after the break, with the biden administration's decision to provide cluster bombs to ukraine change its military tactics as it marks 500 days of war? i will ask former u.s. ambassador to ukraine bill taylor about that. so lewinsky's push for nato membership is coming up next. s push for nat membership is coming up next lila: before i was diagnosed, there was nothing membership i

those who have qualified so far donald trump, ron desantis, tim scott, nikki haley, -- chris christieably missing from this list is mike pence. how significant is it that pence has not made the cut yet? but >> it is pretty stunning when you think about the most recent republican vice presidential nominee, the former vice president himself, he can't even qualify to get on the debate stage. it goes to show that pence positioning of himself as not really standing for anything, not standing by trump, not standing by those that tried to hang him on january 6th, not willing to take a stand definitively against them. he's just in no man's land. you cannot be in that space and expect anybody to rally behind you. you can't be somebody who is not willing to take a position on the hard issues. and to speak out with force and with determination, and expect people to choose you over these other cult personalities. whether donald trump is on that stage for the debate or not, at this point it doesn't even really matter. if all of these candidates are up there, reverent, and they are too afraid to ac

ron is talking about, i don't see that many. we will see candidates like will hurd and chris christie who are trying to create a different path froms and ron desantis, and former president donald trump, and whether that is going to work in the primary, that is a, i don't think it is going to, because of where the base is at, and they are the candidates, will hurd and asa hutchinson trying to appeal to more of the middle of the road voters who have not voted republican in the middle of the road voters, but they have to survive the primary first, and it does not look like they are going to. >> happy fourth, all of you. >> yes. >>> and he is considered the most famous tennis player of all time, roger federer, and he sat down with cnn to talk about his record and his career. >>> and a terror attack in tel aviv and the violence breaking out in the presence of a large military operation in tel aviv. with a smooth dry-touch finish. this round's onon me. neutrogena® ultra sheer for your m most brilliant smil, crest has s you covered. ♪ (laughing) ce smile, brad. thanks? crest 3d white. 100% morstain removal. crest. hey little bear bear. ♪

. >>> tonight, republican presidential candidate chris christie is taking direct aim at his rival ron's new plan to strip the u.s. military of what desantis calls woke policies. listen to what christie told me here in "the situation room" just a few moments ago. >> i would not ban transgender folks from the military. i don't think that's a necessary element of our military readiness, and look, out of all of these diversity programs my focus as president would be to make sure first and foremost that our military was as ready and as capable as it could be to defend the united states interests all around the world and i'm not sure quite how that does it. i believe that we should not ban transgender folks and that's certainly a move that supports diversity. i don't know, and i don't think we need all these diversity programs spoon fed to our members of the military. >> i want to bring in my friend and colleague jake tapper who interviewed both of these candidates including desantis yesterday, a very important interview, jake, is also out with a new book and we'll discuss that shortly, as

ron desantis, responds to this information. i think we know in the kind of two basic categories here, there are the people like asia hutchinson and chris christieho are clear from the beginning they think it's disqualifying and unacceptable. but there are others trying to thread the needle here. and ron desantis principal among them is trying to make a shift we saw it this morning, mildly, gently criticizing trump but still not wanting to go there. we'll see what he says to jake this afternoon. but this is a test, a moment for his challengers to find out where they think the political winds are blowing. and so far, the ones who are the most interested in trying to pull donald trump's voters have not been willing to criticize him. trump, i think by announcing this today, and doing so two days after he received that target letter, is basically making a bet that this is going to help him. this is going to help him dominate the news cycle, it's going to help him raise money and do what he did the last time he was indicted, which is gain in the polls. so we'll see what happens but i don't think there's any evidence to suggest this indictment will be

you mentioned the former president, ron desantis, tim scott, nikki haley, chris christie, and vivek ramaswamiet the thresholds, so those six candidates will be on the stage if they want to be. i'll note that there are two other folks who are at least close to making the debate. the former vice president, mike pence. he's hit the poll criteria, but not the donor one, and doug bergen, the north dakota governor says he's hit the donor criteria, but not the poll one. right now we're at a stage of six if trump decides to debate, then we could dgo to eight, and there are a bunch of fd other people that aren't close to meeting those thresholds. >> a lot of the republican candidates are turning their attention to tim scott, interestingly, because he's polling so well, especially in terms of his favorability, right? >> yeah. so this to me is one of the most interesting questions, right? we've been talking about a two-way race in terms of donald trump and ron desantis, but what happens as these other candidates become better known, and tim scott is one of those. i want you to take a look here. this is

. >> joe, keeping with 2020 for politics here, chris christie appeared to take on ron desantis, the floridais asked during a town hall this week about donald trump's actions on january six, here is his answer. i wasn't anywhere near washington that day. i have nothing to do with what happened that day. obviously, i didn't enjoy seeing, you know, what happened. but we've got to go forward on this stuff, we cannot be looking backwards and be mired in the past. this was christy's response. >> if he wasn't anywhere near washington, did he have a tv? we'll see a life that day? did he see what was going on? i mean that's one of the most ridiculous answers i've heard. in this race so far. you don't have an opinion about january six? except to say i didn't particularly enjoy what happens? people were killed! i would say it's one of the most disgraceful days in american history, and that the president was principally responsible for it. >> joe, what's your reaction to that exchange? >> chris, look, chrissy is spot on, lucy. what a horrible cowardly, emphasize that, what a cowardly answer by ron desa

ron desantis, is running for the presidency. chris christie.ation. he could end up spending years in jail if he doesn't win the presidency. i would say this is about the we are this spectacle in our nation's history. we put a mafioso gangster el cajon dillinger pretty boy floyd iconic outlaw vote figure at a top of the grand old party of abraham lincoln. >> let's stay on that a little bit. it's not just that trump is vying to be the republican nominee in 2024's presidential election after being criminally indicted, he is also signaled that he would expand the powers of the president if he is reelected for a second term. is that where you? >> it frightens me to know and. i think people see donald trump is a celebrity. you know, obama was a celebrity. ronald reagan was a celebrity. trump celebrity. reagan and obama weren't trying to seize a kind of crazy executive power. -- getting the government so he can be the all powerful putin of america. so, people have got to wake up. it's not a game. you might watch a clip of trump and laugh, the guy keep

>> presidential candidate ron desantis is receiving criticism after there is a video released with everybody from chris christie to pete buttigieg and the "boston globe" criticizing this video. now, puts a side the way that this video is produced with greased up body builders and ron desantis, but who is the target audience here? >> well, your guess is as good as mine, john. it is not people in iowa or people in new hampshire or republican voters even. it is so online. this is not the first time that you have seen this account tweet out, not necessarily theer that is kind of flailing, honestly. they probably thought they would be further in the contest, but they are stuck. so it is really just serving to upset a lot of people on the republican side, frankly. you have to log cabin candidates come out to condemn this, and no response from the campaign at this point to this very odd video. >> alice, is there room to the right of donald trump on this issue saying that former president trump is too tolerant towards gays? >> let me start out with no offense, john, but i'm in new hampshire where they consider the "uni

ron desantis at 23. tim scott 8%. criticize christie 6%. doug burgum at 1%. that's one we look at.mary it fortifies him and that's because of republican suspicions about joe biden and about the use of government. but i want to focus on the substance of this. because, if genuinely believing that an election was stolen is a crime, then half the democratic party needs to go to jail. senator cory booker of new jersey, senator sherrod brown of ohio said that stacey abrams gubernatorial election was stolen from her. the democratic house leader hakeem jeffries said about the 2016 election that it was illegitimate, rigged a hoax. he cawbilityd for an investigation because russia placed donald trump into the white house. so donald trump genuinely believes this election was stolen. i don't think it was stolen. but, is it a crime to genuinely believe that? that's why i want to see what the terms of the indictment are because this sure feels on thin ice to me. >> bret: meantime reaction still from the statement by congresswoman jayapal about israel being a racist state. take a listen. >> my ho

donald trump, ron desantis, vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley, tim scott, chris christie, and governor doug burgum of north dakota. for candidates like ramaswamy and burgum, it turns out that close to zero name recognition can indeed by your 40,000 people who are willing to give your campaign $1, particularly when you literally try to buy those people off. governor burgum offered 20-dollar gift certificates to the first 50,000 donors who gave at least $1, and mr. ramaswamy offered his donors a 10% cut of money that they raised for his campaign. just like avon, only instead of getting commission for selling eye shadow, vivek ramaswamy has been offering people a commission on the money they raised for vivek ramaswamy. and now mr. ramaswamy and governor burgum and secure their spots at the debate and a bunch of supporters have a lot of gift cards. former vice president mike pence, however, it continues to try and get their the old-fashioned way, with endless appeals on conservative media. when we come back, with the rnc 's criteria for the small dollar donations tells us about the race as it s

four have met, donald trump, ron desantis, nikki haley, former new jersey governor chris christie, senate tim scott and vivek ramaswamy and doug burgum. missing from the list are former vice president mike pence and hutchinson, among others. with less than a month left, it could spell doom for the campaign who don't end up in milwaukee this august. joining me is politico's olivia beavers. great to see you. first, layout the basic details how candidates are qualifying for the debate. what is the baseline? >> two qualifications, 40's,000 donors, 200 unique donors from 20 different states and meet 1% threshold and donors is where mike pence is falling short. polling 6%, but hasn't reached donors. interview on fox yesterday, he was being pressed and wouldn't say how many more he needs, he is asking for $1, ever how much someone is willing to give to help him get across the finish line. they will have until two days before the debate to cross that threshold. >> katie: they have left-minute decision to make to get to the finish line. there is controversy, what is rnc saying about who won't show

ron desantis isn't it. chris christie, he is not liked in the base of the republican party.an important point. and i think, we have a big test coming up, august 8th, right? first big test, a question of whether folks will stand on that debate stage, again, end of august. but you also have no labels out there. because they are still threatening about this third party campaign, and i understand that the notion of giving people who don't like the two party system options. but i personally think what those labels are doing is slightly disingenuous. and i mean, they made an argument that they will drop their bid if joe biden's pulling ahead of the republican nominee in the spring. we all hear know, there will be no republican nominee in the spring. so, how do you think no labels will just affect that primary process for the republican party? going forward. >> well, it's hard to predict because this is kind of a new exercise. i mean, it's been done a few times in the past. but right now, if you look at the polling, symone, you almost have to forgive a group like no labels for purs

ron desantis campaign, the governor of florida, also releasing a video that criticized former president trump for his support of the lgbt q community. at the same time, former governor of new jersey chris christieboth trump and desantis for that exchange. it is a teenage, you know, food fight between ron desantis and donald trump. and i don't think that's what leaders should be doing. and it certainly doesn't make me feel inspired as an american. on the 4th of july weekend to have this type of back and forth going on . the latest fox news poll shows former president trump with 56% approval from republican primary voters. that's more than double that of his nearest competitor, desantis. in atlanta, steve harrigan, fox news. we are hearing tonight from witnesses who saw a small plane crash into lake tahoe yesterday, leaving two men injured. that single engine plane had taken off from the truckee tahoe airport shortly after 9:00 yesterday morning. it had crashed about an hour later into rubicon bay. several boats on the lake headed to the crash scene to see if they could help. we got there that the fuselage was vertical, was standing like that, and the wings were out. so i thought probably they're

if ron desantis is not the republican nominee of chris christie and the republican nominee.iden democrat, no labels from what i understand these are people inside that they will definitely run a third-party candidate, they have enough money and they have been reaching out to people and raising enough money and they will run a third party, has to be. if christie got in there i don't think they would read it. they would rather run against biden. gavin newsom, probably not going to run, if these two candidates for the respective bad reasons, joe biden tool, too liberal, too crazy, they're going to read the third party, who would be the third party candidate, we should point out there's been no outreach, but there is for my sources inside no labels a shortlist, the shortlist includes the ackerman to joe manchin glenn youngkin the governor, this is senator. we know the governor of vir virginia. in larry hogan the governor of maryland, those are the three. we have a statement from the labels, they're telling us that not speculating on any candidates who potentially offer this as a

said, well, what do you think of ron desantis, chris christie? like, we haven't heard that much about them. it's interesting that, right now, trump does eclipse them all. that's the one name they've heard. a lot of republicans just, again -- >> not in a good way. >> -- not going to vote for him. but they may not vote for anybody. they may just stay home again. >> right. >> again, as we've been saying for some time, that spells doom for republicans next fall. >> joe, i would argue, though, that biden needs those republicans. he needs a slight sliver. >> yeah. >> 5% to 6% of those never trumpers, he needs them to propel to victory. it'll come down to a hundred thousand votes in pennsylvania and wisconsin the end of the day. the way jon meacham is framing the way the narrative should be, are you going to vote for an insurrectionist? are you anti-constitution? it's the framing democrats should adopt. right now, i see republicans who are creating narratives. they're creating narratives about a biden crime family, narratives about a stolen election. th
