it is interesting, south dakota's governor has her doubts that doug burgum has a path. >> doug burgumce man. what is interesting to me jumping into the race. they have to show house how they will win. the more people that get in it strengthens president trump. everybody keeps asking the wrong questions here. >> reporter: now trump has yet to react today to pence's campaign. i've been checking social media thinking he may be somebody who would offer you some insight, muted attack or full-throated one. so far trump not weighing in on pence jumping. he is saving his fire for former new jersey governor chris christie. we're playing johnny b. goode. we'll see in an hour. neil: thank you, to mark meredith. to marc lotter, former press secretary to the vice president. kind enough to join us. it is a crowded field. your old boss is one of a dozen. could be one of more than a dozen. what chances do you give him? >> well i think it is really a one-person race right now with donald trump if you look at the polls. he is at 53%, with 30% lead over ron desantis. that is a big hill to climb but then

and we are here to get doug ready for his next big adventure. congratulations, governor burgum. pplause] when i first met doug, he was in the midst of that famous story at the beginning, selling the farm, mortgaging the farm, investing in technology. and when we look at it now, you build some software, do some great service when a bunch of national awards. have a successful run on the nasdaq, ipo, sailed to microsoft $4 billion. no brainer, doug. what was so hard about that? that was easy. but it was anything but easy at the time. nobody's giving money to people in north dakota to build software companies. and not only was hard to get funding, but it's hard to do the work. could you get the team? could you do the work? lots of business, lots of competitors. huge risk. doug took that risk, never looked back and he was there every step of the way. you know, he never asked anybody else to work -- he worked incredibly hard. he would spend the day working as ceo, make a couple sales calls after work, and then show up to pack boxes and ship them out. just legendary what he did. not onl

[cheering and applause] lisa: north dakota governor doug burgum's presidential pitch is about his rootston. gov. burgum: our whole town was about taking care of each other, about helping those in need, about neighbor helping neighbor. every small town in america is like that. lisa: in the 1980's, he took a chance, mortgaging his family grain farm to launch great plains software. that gamble paid off. he sold the company in the 1990's to microsoft for $1.1 billion. >> republican doug burgum. lisa: in 2016, he tried a new career, entering the governor's race with no political experience. he easily beat an establishment candidate and won reelection four years later. energy policy, including drilling, is a focus for burgum. he's accused the biden administration of waging a war on domestic fossil fuel production. gov. burgum: it is a very simple thing. if we want to have a global stable world and a strong u.s. economy, then we need to produce energy for ourselves and for our allies. and we are not doing that. lisa: as for his gop rivals. gov. desantis: florida is where woke goes to die. gov.

's interesting to me is all these people that keep jumping into this race. they got to show us how they are going to win. >> burgum made his announcement in north dakota. but it will be here in iowa tomorrow. as for pence, is he getting ready to head out as well. he starterred in iowa but he is going to be heading out to new hampshire and north carolina. and he said so much today the word running mate. i had to ask him he had thought about who he would like to see run with him if he were to get the nomination and trace, he said, he hasn't given it any thought. >> trace: no decision. mark meredith live for us in iowa. bret baier's interview with former vice president mike pence coming up in moments. president biden's top diplomat is in saudi arabian following decision to cut production of a million billion barrels of oil a day. comes on the heels of that the saudi golf is merging with the pga tour. critics are decrying effort to buy. the administration is refusing to weigh in on what th

who the heck is doug burgum as the country music blasts behind me.ou have to talk about the duality of doug burgum, started as a software developer, made millions, can easily fund a lot of his campaign. and became a really successful two-term governor, really popular in the state of north dakota for bringing in jobs, for focusing on clean energy, for putting those in front of his campaign. but the duality of that is he's done very little to raise his national profile. polling at maybe 1% as we speak. and to change that really wants to focus on being a change candidate, on shifting the focus away from what he calls and describes as the culture wars that have come to describe the republican party and focusing on more fiscal and issues that he believes are prime to republicans who really think that the issues are the key focus. as he's about to walk on stage, the duality of that, though, he signed several bills that have been central to the culture wars of the time. it is very difficult now to get an abortion in the state of north dakota, very difficult

going to be a bit more diversity cult for -- difficult for doug burgum because north dakota doesn't thatmany people and his base to draw is pretty small. all three will enter the contest and the first two in particular will have a chance to jump into the middle of the race. burgum in a very articulate and attractive candidate has to jump on the to stage in a way that nobody really knows him outside of north dakota. maria: what happened to ron desantis? so much optimism early on and fell in the polls before officially announcing. >> well, i think that had to do with the -- with how things are this time in the race, which is that when he was doing well in the polls, he was in the immediate aftermath of the november election and it was a shock to a lot of people. here's a guy that barely won the governorship of what has historically been a purple state four years ago, five years ago, almost five years ago now. he runs for reelection and wins by a blowout and not only wins by a blowout and defeats a former sitting governor of the state, charlie crist. there were a lot of things that moved an

. >> another candidate expected to join is doug burgum. he is announcing on wednesday in fargo, north dakota. not really well-known nationally. guest: he is an interesting guy. he has a businessman. he took over a software company thate eventually sold to microsoft in a $2 billion deal and went on to become governor. he elected two terms and is going to try and run a campaign as a republican businessman, midwestern values guy who can appeal to voters who are looking for an alternative to donald trump. then main question or problem he's facing is nobody knows who the -- nobody knows who he is. laying the groundwork for the campaign, visiting the early primary states getting your name known to early-stage voters in particular. governor burgum is also very wealthy and spend millions of doar on gubernatorial races inorth dakota and expecting he's willing to spend a lot of money on a presidential bid. his path would be through iowa. can appeal to iowa voters in and if you can manage to place highly, that would be a springboard competing for the

you've been according doug burgum for years.ho he is and what he's about. >> well, first and foremost, he's a north dakotan. which might be the most interesting part of the story. he grew up in a small town, as he has made central to his campaign so far. but where it really gets interesting, he founded and ultimately sold to microsoft a multi-billion dollar software company. and i think the hook there, there is a lot of successful people who run for office. the hook is he did it in north dakota. once he sold to microsoft, he didn't leave north dakota. he stayed. in fact, convinced microsoft to build what i understand reportedly is the largest campus outside of the state of washington. they built it in north dakota. so i think there's a really interesting story that he gets to tell about himself as he enters the race. >> yes, it is. you've said that people should not write him off. explain why. >> well, i think he has some things going for him. obviously, this is, i always like to say, we're through the looking glass politically.

north dakota governor doug burgum was one of them.n new hampshire and joins us from manchester. good morning, governor. thank you for being with us. you're trying to break through all candidates running against donald trump, this indictment, whatever you may think about the details of it, creates an opportunity to talk about the responsibilities obligations and character of the job. so is it an opportunity for you and what are you going to do withly about the presidency being the hardest job in the world and part of your thesis was priorities and this is something that we've been talking about. we're on day four on the campaign trail. we're talking about that and sort of make sure that people understand who we are, why we're running and what we'll do. i'm a small town kid in north dakota, had jobs where you someho shower at the end of the day. my dad died when i was a freshman in high school. got a little bit of farmland and mortgaged that and that became the seed capital for a start-up software company which grew into a billion dolla

. >> let's get things done -- >> reporter: meanwhile, north dakota gop governor doug burgum has announced that he's running for president, writing in the "wall street journal," quote, we need a change in the white house. burgum will officially launch his campaign with a speech in fargo today. now this crowded field of republican presidential candidates must meet the polling requirements to make it onto the first primary debate stage in wisconsin in august. each hopeful also needs to sign a pledge to support whoever wins the gop nomination. so far trump hasn't said whether he'd do that. anne-marie? >> naomi ruchim in new york. thank you, naomi. >>> well, donald trump's former white house chief of staff reportedly testified before a federal grand jury investigating the former president.

governor chris christie planning to launch his campaign tomorrow followed by north dakota governor doug burgum on wednesday, new hampshire governor chris sununu announced he is not running. instead, he says the focus on encouraging republicans not to elect trump. >> in a move that's alarming. some media watchdog groups, san bruno based youtube says it's going to stop removing content that falsely claims there was widespread fraud during the 2020 presidential election. in a blog post, youtube says that the updated policy was an attempt to protect the ability to quote, openly debate political ideas. even those that are controversial, youtube had been removing the false claim since a month after the 2020 election. >> coming up, easier way to travel this summer. which free program is expanding to more program is expanding to more airports. your heart is the beat of life. if you have heart failure, entrust your heart to entresto. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto w

after announcements of former new jersey governor chris christie and current north dakota governor doug burgum, the number of candidates for the republican nomination is in the double digits. those critical of donald trump seat mike pence as complicit in spreading his lies and those supportive of him seek pence as a traitor for not overturning the 2020 election results. last month, a cnn poll showed 45% of republican-leaning independents would not vote for pence under any circumstance, and that number seemed to be hunting mike pence. it is coincidently the same amount he is lagging behind the front runner, his former boss, donald trump. mark: it seems to suggest pence has no chance, but it does point to a split within the republican party. now to the health of pope francis. he underwent surgery to repair a hernia. the pontiff is expected to remain in hospital in rome for several days. the vatican said there were no complications after the three-hour surgery during which the pope was under general anesthetic. >> a pope's regime could not have had more reassuring words for catholics awaiting the
