that is not how ron desantis thinks.gets involved in the national race, it's because the polling on the president's side is not going in the right direction. he wants to go into it, he would go into it as would a mike pompeo or a glenn youngkin possibly. look, it's too early in the game to know, martha. that's the reality where we are right now. it's a wait and see game. i think president trump will move quickly to announce his run and i think that then the other candidates will see what happens following the january 6th committee. the president continues to have very strong support nationally. >> martha: fascinating to see who runs on both sides. jehmu, mercedes, joe, thank to you. happy fourth of july. so a message from bill bennett about what it means to be a proud american as the nation transforms before our eyes over the past couple weeks. a number of significant ways when we come back. >> even on our worst day, we are blessed to live in america.

so how is desantis responding?onse is he can light money on fire if that's what he wants to do. newsom is doing this in a deliberate way, it's airing on fox on july 4th. it is very focused on the idea of freedom, redefining the term into something democrats should be talking about again. he says -- he told me when we spoke last week he's worried that republicans are winning in defining the terms of the debate and winning in what's going on here and he wants to grab that back but, you're right, a year ago now he was facing a recall, in a lot of trouble. now things are different for him. >> also probably doesn't hurt it gets us talking about it as well. >> obviously. >> more the strategy. now everybody is thinking is this all about 2024? which is interesting to think about it because conventional wisdom would say the front-runners are donald trump and joe biden not these two other guys. is this about 2024? are we seeing the first salvos in that potential battle in a couple of years? >> certainly what it would feel li

or ron desantis to run for president and her as vice president. guest: there's certainly a lot of republicans who are talking that way and we saw images, even in 2016, of nikki haley with tim scott and marco rubio. she was a rubio supporter in that primary. nikki haley is clearly positioning herself to run for president. she said she won't run if the former president runs while ron desantis has made no such commitment and is positioning himself to run no matter what happens. we will see if nikki haley revisits that but she is one of the names a lot of people are looking at very seriously. desantis obviously, former vice president pence, former secretary of state pompeo, and maybe others will get in. current senator ted cruz, texas senator, clearly would like to run again, thinks he has some standing as a runner-up from 2016. republicans have a lot of history of nominating the previous runner-up in the next competitive primaries. if former president trump doesn't run, there could be a big field, and we saw 16, 17 candidates in 2016. we could see so

anna, paul brought up ron desantis. obviously he's kind of the hottest commodity in the republican party right now. he's seen as a potential alternative to trump by many people. he has tons of money in the bank. if trump's already in the race, do you feel like that blunts the opportunity for desantis to really launch a challenge? >> you know, first thing ron desantis has to do is win the governor's race and win it strongly, right? it showed that he is dominating in this very important state. look, i live in florida, i'm in florida right now. donald trump is in florida, ron desantis is in florida. you know, part of me wonders how much of this that donald trump is supposedly considering doing announcing early, has to do because he can't stand the fact that the spotlight is moving on from him and that people are talking more and more about ron desantis and others as successors and people that would be better nominees with less baggage. and i sometimes ask myself what would happen if donald trump tried to show ron desantis

desantis is a bully.rnor has been as ruthless or effective in dominating his state, owning the legislature and trampling dissent. the present republican party has no shortage of qualified governors or ex-governors to nominate, all who won election or reelection in blue states by governing from the center, not from the dark extremes. the party's post trump future rightfully belongs to people like them, not to the intentionally divisive, polarizing and humorless desantis. voters in america's other 49 states take note. >> this is great news for ron desantis. he loves owning the libs. he loves when he's attacked in the media. but this authoritarian streak is fascinating. two things about desantis, one is the fact that if you ask most people if he's a conservative, they say, well, of course he's a conservative. and yet he doesn't let small businesses decide how they keep their workplaces safe because it doesn't fit his political agenda. even at the height of covid, he would not let cruise lines take what steps

as you look at desantis record what are democrats targeting him?ratic eyes who we have to take down as early as now? >> if you look at some of these polls out there, paul, he is actually beating donald trump in the straw polls in popularity is definitely seen as a rising star in a kite whether trump rent or not may be on the stage in a couple years time. the goal is to show you can take him on. try to cut him down a little bit, soften him up already. but i agree with dan this is something a guy like ron desantis probably welcomes. paul: and alicia you follow illinois politics the governor there is a another guy who is seeming to raise his national profile with an eye for may be running in 2024. would he have any better prospects than newsom or does he have a record he would have to explain to? >> well i think illinois may be the only state in the country more mismanaged than california. people flee illinois to florida and texas. i don't think he stands any better chance but in fact i am amazed he's even consider it given he's not even a shoo-in to

ron desantis is basically diet trump. he's like, i can do this without all the pussy grabbing and every other damn thing. >> the terrible misogyny. >> the errors of trump were baked in cake for most voters. with desantis, when he makes mistakes they're going to be new mistakes. he's popular with the fox set. most americans don't know who he is yet. >> you're making a important point. i got 40 seconds left. last question is, why does brian kill mead look so sad there? >> he's thinking i'm going to go in the studio, find my phone, and it's going to have 100 angry messages from trump. and it's going make me sad. now they're betraying him one day at a time, and now it really stings. they know ron desantis is younger and thinner and more attractive, and he hates every bit of that. >> you shine a light on facets that -- as you say, that's part of it. thank you. good to see you in person. i want to tell everyone something i mentioned earlier that we are really excited about. tomorrow right here at this hour we have a new origina

i pick up one point you've just said but ron desantis is an income but he's in office now.inability to react to issues and enact them that mike pence does not have. >> that's a great point for. >> with that give desantis a potential edge? >> yes i think it does absolutely. he has made headlines by criticizing biden and avoiding criticizing trump. but if he is on a debate stage with final trump and mike pence what seems to be growing more likely every day, he is going to have no choice but to step away from just bashing biden and to attack these other republican presidential hopefuls perhaps. eric: is going to be interesting it is just beginning. we will get -- talk a lot about this the next two years, good to see you, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> of course, arthel. arthel: eric the state department is confirming the death of two american citizens in ukraine. as russia's vicious attack and assault target a major port. we are live after this. anyone who isn't shopping at america's best - where two pairs and a free exam start at just $79.95. book an exam to

but just because ron desantis has done everything right.en, when i say that people say, oh, jolly isn't bad with desantis. i am not, i disagree with his politics. i ran against him in 2016. the only candidate some say that has ever lead desantis. i am the former member, and you would be the next president of the united states, but i will say about that is that he stole the assets of maga nation and trump and he inherited none of the liabilities. and he is practice those assets in florida with near perfection in the eyes of republican voters. and i think the final step for the scientists is simply this, katie. if he is reelected in november he says he will answer the calls of for the republican nominations. i am running around the scientists not against donald trump. if donald trump gets the nomination, i am excited to support him again. that has been his posture all along, and honestly i think ron desantis is no passing donald trump for the nomination. >> emily, following thursday's february six hearings, we morocco do wall street journal p

i mean, it is just off and it really is desantis at the top here in florida. and i, mean they are banning books in our schools in the sunshine state. i mean what's next, burning them? it is hard to believe in unconscionable, the lack of leadership that ron desantis is providing our state. because he is so laser focused on getting that hard right republican vote for a primary, for president instead of focusing on what is doing the right thing here in florida. we have an affordability crisis. people can't afford to buy homes. unless you are a millionaire or billionaire in florida, you are squeezed. and squeezed to the max. with the price of gas, with the price of food, the price housing in particular that is the tip of the spear here. it is unaffordable. in fact, forts magazine came out about three weeks ago with a piece that says florida, florida, is the most expensive state to 11 in america now. more than california, more than new york. and it is because of desantis, and it's appalling. the middle class is getting just take into him. it is awful. >> in fairnes

i think ron desantis is, as you say, far too gone, he's built up a team. if he wins decisively in florida this year, i think ron desantis is running regardless of what trump does or doesn't do. >> call me crazy, i think trump clears the field. this is still his party. john, you're right, everybody is positioning themselves, but, man, he still owns the voters right now and once he is out there doing his thing and criticizing these people, it's -- slow down. slow down. >> mike pence, who is he positioning himself with? people like me are going to see him as a complicit coward who did nothing but lick trump's boots for four years and people who love trump are going to see him as complicit with what they see as a rigged election. >> is that not an endorsement? you didn't endorse mike pence, just to be clear? >> i have to tell you i find mike pence saying that we have to look forward and not look back, in other words, move on from january 6 so offensive after we heard his secret service calling their families to say good-bye on january 6. if nothing else, if no

>> look, there's ron desantis imitations everywhere. in texas is jealous of ron desantis and he's trying to do things like this. yes, this gets you positive coverage on the ben shapiro show and right wing media, it's in this ethos that they're taking down the cultural left a peg, taking down gays and lesbians. the lawsuit is tied to the lawsuit bounties in texas. that's how they're enforcing these laws, through the courts. if you're a lawyer representing a school district, you may not be anti-gay but you might not want to have to deal with getting sued so you might be giving advice to teachers, you can't do certain types of projects. this is what my daughter brought home for school for valentine's day. they asked each kid to make a valentine. is that instruction? that seems like instruction to me, if you're telling a kid to make a valentine for your family, if it's a gay family or lgbtq family of any kind. if you have one parent of another kid in that class who is uncomfortable with that, they could sue the teacher. so you could see a l

i think he thinks that he created ron desantis in some ways.ll the 2018 race ron desantis ran very, very much as donald trump's man ranking ads that frankly you have to look away from because they were so embarrassingly devoted to donald trump. he did win in 2018 in significant part because he had trump's support. he's steadily been establishing his own record. a very strong record. a strong record on the economy, strong record on handling covid. a lot of people like that. trump thinks that he's there for the taking. trump thinks because of his record, because of trump's own position on things like vaccines and stuff like that where desantis has been a little squirrelly, i thinks that he can take on ron desantis and he relishes the idea. >> neil: thanks, gerry. gerry baker, "wall street journal" at least. 7:30 p.m. on fridays. we have more coming up including where we go with this climate push on the part of the president. some might say the timing is odd. given the heat wave, some say it's odd but the white house says it's perfect timing after

desantis is ascending. our best hope is that desantis challenges donald.ld decides not to run and desantis does, donald can do everything in his power to undermine desantis. ron desantis presidency, believe it or not, it would potentially be more frightening than another trump administration. >> let the gop hunger games began. mary trump, thank you for being here. we appreciate your time. >> coming up -- >> we cannot allow an out-of-control supreme court working in conjunction with a party to take away our freedoms and autonomy. >> president biden is calling out the supreme court as he signed an executive order to protect abortion rights. what it does and whether it goes far enough, that is coming up next. goes far enough, that is comin up next. so now... i want to thank you. i started investing with vanguard to help take care of you, than just an investor you're an owner. helping you take care of the ones you love. that's the value of ownership.

guest: i have no idea what would come together in terms of former president trump and governor desantis. i know the betting money you into this sort of thing is that governor desantis is the most likely alternative to trump, but i have not the faintest idea of whether or not the former president -- i covered the white house for the last year or so of the trump administration. i cannot render a gas what he -- a guess what he would do it a running mate. it probably will not meet make pence again -- mike pence again, given the opposition that the former president has to vice president pence fulfilling his constitutional obligations regarding counting votes, but i had no idea where he read go for a running mate or if running with desantis would be tenable. host: one topic many people caught up was inflation and what the white house will do about it. is there more clarification as far as it steps ahead when it comes to combating inflation? guest: part of it is they are already noting that gas prices have started to fall. if you look at the trajectory from where it seems to be going, it seems

desantis has spent about $7 million.ave a competitor until the democrats pick their primary opponent -- or primary nominee in late august. so there is just a lot of questions here when you talk to -- i talked to someone close to his campaign who said that his folks are absolutely aware of ways to turn money from a state race into money that could be used in a federal race. talked to another person who was involved in florida fundraising for republicans and he said he thinks that is absolutely what is on their mind. it could end up being more expensive race than they anticipate when you talk to people around the governor's campaign, he wants a big blowout election win going into that 2024 primary which could be pricey. but with so much money already sitting out there, if he hadn't spent it all by november, people will be wondering what he will be doing with it. >> big reminder that money is the ox aygen in politics and the is a lot of it. thank you so much. >>> with prices rising on just about everything, europe hasn't be

i like ron desantis.good, the bad and everything in between. trump sounds pretty good to me right now. gavin newsom may be the only guy that biden is willing to deport. look at what is going on at the border. biden is in the mideast. compare biden to trump when it comes to the mideast, you know, biden is begging the iranians get back in the deal terrible for the israelis and the arabs. biden is going to go to east jerusalem to undercut the trump policy in jerusalem. the undivided capitol of israel. i have never seen the president tour the mideast in a more weakened condition than president biden. and i say that with sadness. trump looks pretty damn good to me when you look at the issues we are facing as a nation and as a world. >> jesse: he is touring the mideast. he is probably not going to bow to the saudi king. maybe fist bump because he doesn't want to shake hands and catch anything. do you think he is aware that his stalking horse gavin newsom is inside the white house measuring the drapes while he i

ron desantis has its stood strong for our kids and i appreciate his leadership.emocrats have bought more on that issue, they are fighting more to get kids to be able to go see drag queen shows than they did to get kids in school, and it shameful, and we need to fight against that. remember, when covid was at its peak, it was the democrats who kept our kids out of the classroom and had them masked up. when they finally let our kids back in the classroom, the left bombarded them with radical gender ideology and inappropriate sexual content. we've heard reports of teachers encouraging kids to decide their own gender and then intentionally hiding it from parents. i'm sure that we all agree this is the kind of thing we have nightmares about. these are our kids, they are old enough to drive -- not old enough to drive, not old enough to make life-changing decisions. if kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. some kids wanted to be pirates. thank god nobody took them seriously and schedule them for eye removal

i think desantis obviously a rock star among republicans, i would dare say is more energy around desantisnd trump. i know people don't want to get this contest between trump and desantis but what you think? i think republicans, even mega republicans like this. >> i don't think you could find a better paradigm for conservatism and liberalism in florida and california prospectively and basically the result of that, too beautiful states equally appealing amenities you would think but one is just run typically better with conservative policies. i think gavin newsom, the immediate reaction will be it is nervy considering mass exodus of businesses that he would run an ad in florida is seeing an influx of people and businesses but it's not that surprising because for progressives like newsom, that is their religion, they believe in the above all else and that includes the money it takes a business, a family to put food on the table, to pay their employees and what it looks like so it's laughable when newsom does something like this or my own governor bill murphy who after the decision came out,
