i believe i have the floor. >> governor desantis, governor desantis -- governor haley has the floor.is more important here? she's saying somehow -- >> governor haley, it is her time, go ahead. >> i think i hit a nerve. what i will tell you is, look, if you can't manage a campaign, it's been a revolving door of political people, in and out of his campaign. you have heard of campaign people going to blows with each other because they cannot agree. $150 million, and he spent more on private planes than commercials. i flew commercial. i stayed in residence in. we saved our money. we spent it right, because you must understand, it isn't your money, it's others. you need to know how to handle it. if he cannot handle the financial parts of the campaign, how will he handle the economy when it comes to the white house? he has been demeaning me, over, and over, telling lies, desantis lies. com, because he thinks it makes him look bigger. in the one basic thing, as you've campaigned for president, you're invisible in new hampshire, invisible in south carolina, you're in fifth place, you have $1

governor haley?> well the people of iowa, good evening. it's great to be in iowa, have a debate here. donald trump's running to pursue his issues. nikki haley is pursuing to to pursue her donors issues. i'm here to turn this country around. i'm the only one running delivered on 100% of the promises identify made. we delivered huge victories in the state of florida, things republicans have been asking for for a generation. i'm also the only one running that has beaten the left time and time again. we beat the teacher's union on universal scholar choice. we beat the dem's on election integrity. now, you know, nikki haley is running. we don't need another mealy-mouthed politician who just tells you what she thinks you want to hear just to try to get your vote, then to get in office and do her donor's bidding. she was in another state and she said the people of iowa's votes need to be corrected. this is somebody that wrote in her book that hillary clinton inspired her to first run for office. i remember

. >> governor -- >> thank you, governor. >> governor, you yesterday in iowa you criticized governor haleyis how is of abortion. you said she is, quote, indujed in left wing tropes and chastised pro lives. do you believe governor haley is sufficiently pro-life? >> i think she is confused on the issue. i think she is trying to speak to different groups with different things. when she says pro-lifers need to stop talking about throwing women in jail, that's a trope. no one i ever met think that's something that's appropriate. these women were in vulnerable situations. they don't get help a lot of times from the fathers who don't want to be ho supportive. they don't have resources themselves a lot of times. it's a difficult situation. and we have to have compassion for those situations. i think when she starts bringing that in, that's using the language of the left to try to attack pro believers. i think that is wrong. at the end of the day, i agree with her on this. donald trump should be on this stage. he owes it to you, here in iowa, to explain this change he has had in his positioning to

one difference between governor desantis and what president trump was willing to do is that governor desantis has said that he is willing to send the military to the border to close the border between the legal ports of entry so that everybody coming into this country has to come through legal ports of entry. they cannot cross illegally. i do immigration think tank work for the center for renewing america. we will put a paper out speaking to the military as a tool to close the border. it is perfectly legal -- legal and constitutional for the president to do it. there is some controversy, enough that president trump afraid to do it. and governor desantis -- desantis is prepared to do it. i appreciate your vehemence. i do think that president trump did some good things, but he did not do the things that he promised to do. if he did i would be supporting him for election again. but i believe we can do better with governor desantis and i believe that the american people will trust him more to get the task done while balancing the budding -- the budget and leading our country. i look forw

at the same time the governor of florida, governor desantis has reduced for this debt at 25%. i think they have now achieved the status as the lowest debt per-capita in the whole country. he's leaving florida in a positive direction that is the opposite of the federal government and that's one of those areas where president trump to increase the debt by more than any other president, does not look good on the scorecard if you will. for people like me who care about long-term fiscal sustainability and what we are passing to our children, that's a very important issue. it's only one and we are going to talk about immigration i believe governor desantis would be more effective on immigration than president trump was and certainly than biden is. biden has openedsi the door and implemented an open border policy.en i do get out having worked with the president why am i not supporting him and part of it is my experience working with him has led me to look for a better option and i believe that ron desantis is a much better option i hope the people of iowa this coming monday agreed as

the governors' trustworthiness , the governor's trustworthiness, the trustworthiness of the governor executive in holding the elections , and the customer meetings that we had with our loved ones in the supervisory board of the guardian council, so that we can afza, god willing let us have your vote from the people's votes, mr. imani . mr. imani is joining us . the most important emphasis of the president in the meeting with the governors of the country and what are your plans in fars province , what are your most important plans ? who are in favor of delegating authority to the province and provincial managers. repeatedly emphasized today to the honorable ministers and honorable members of the government board to allocate the affairs as much as possible. on behalf of the governors, they actually say that after all , the presidents of the province are the governors, and often this proposal is actually a request from the governors themselves. another issue was related to the elections. mr. president said again that we are not in favor of any candidate , we have no bias and no criminal

, what authority i didn't have as governor because i believed that when governors and leaders overstepheir authority in a time of crisis that's when we break this country. the fact is i didn't have the authority to issue mandates were lockdowns. we respected the constitution and the liberty our nation was built on. the greatest truth is freedom. our experiment in self-government. i trusted my people inn south dakota to exercise personal responsibility to make decisions for themselves and their families. we didn't lock people down or mandate anything in our state in fact at the end ofov the day i s the only governor that never ordered a single business or church to close. i didn't even define what an essential business was or wasn't because i don't believe governors have the authority to tell businesses that they are not essential. we gave south dakota the freedom to work. when president trump offered those benefits to the rest of the country, i was the only governor in the country who said thank you for the flexibility but no thanks. our people want to work. the next week our unemploym

florida governor ron desantis and former south carolina governor and former u. n. ambassador nikki haley. they'll take questions from iowa voters, setting the stage for the first one on one presidential debate, live on cnn, here in iowa next week. we are giving both candidates opportunities to make their closing arguments to iowans as they battle against one another and against the front runner in this race, former president donald trump. first up, tonight governor ron desantis, who is aiming for a strong showing in iowa with the support of the state governor, kim reynolds. he'll answer questions directly from iowans, on the issues that will help determine who wins the republican nomination. and i will have some questions of my own. and the audience here with me tonight are voters who say they plan to participate in the iowa republican caucus, both registered republicans and voters who planned to register as republicans. to find tonight questioners, we cast a wide. mid soliciting help from various organizations including business, groups farm associations, parent g

do you support governor desantis doing that? would you do that as a governor? >> well, i'll talk about governor abbott, because i think he was courageous. he was the first one to do it. but look at what he has done. today i was watching governor abbott and mayor eric adams kind of having different things to say. governor abbott, if the president won't secure and give security to the people of texas, a governor has a job to protect your citizens. so he's bussing them, but where is he bussing them to? new york city is a sanctuary city. so you can't say we're open, we're accepting of everybody, and then when they come to you, say oh, i didn't mean it, never mind. >> you think it's been effective? >> i think it's been hugely effective because all of the sudden the rest of the country is feeling what texans have had to deal with for so long. and i went to the border. and truly, what they deal with is unimaginable. those ranchers having to look and see if every morning if someone died crossing the fence, having to pick up kids and turn them over to border patrol, you

in "focus" two of those governors in abbott's corner georgia's brian kemp and the governor of montana. we'll go to the white house peter doocy to get the latest. >> this is not a situation where the heavy hand of what the federal government wants is going to change texas's plans. it will be more of a tug-of-war. >> there are a lot of areas where texas is free to continue to put up wire. they don't have to allow this to happen. it is beginning to look like joe biden is basically drawing a line in the sand and saying you know, the feds will come marching into texas and rip down your razor wire and governor abbott is saying we'll put it right back up again. >> half the governors in the u.s. are with abbott. 25 of them, all gop. they write we stand in solidarity with greg abbott and the state of texas utilizing every tool to secure the border. we do it in part because the biden administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws on the books and allowing mass parole across america of migrants who entered our country illegally. now that donald trump is telling republicans to kill a bipa

what's your question for the governor? >> thank you for being here, governor.een many instances of poor choices from the current administration, such as the before mentioned order policy, the botched withdrawal from afghanistan, with no effort to correct those poor choices. even well-intended plans can fail sometimes. can you give me an example where, as governor, you implemented a plan that did fail and how you corrected that? >> sure. i think if you look back what happened with covid. the large story is donald trump and anthony fauci plunged this country into lockdown. florida led the way in dragging this country out of lockdown. part of the reason we did that is i looked at some of the things that were recommended that we had done. for example, not have elective procedures at hospitals. there's going to be too many people in the hospital. i do this for three or four weeks and our hospitals were empty. i said the data doesn't support that. we're opening it up. we've got 4,000 long-term care facilities. we did testing. we limited people going in to not have a

and as we both know, texas governor george w. bush -- won iowa got beat down by john mccain in new hampshire. can governor nikki haley, will she be able to say the same things come tuesday night, is there enough time? >> sure. no, there is not. but sure, she can say the same things that we've heard other candidates say. i need to go back because we can't lose sight of a very important point that ali just made in her reporting about the nature of this campaign, what it has done to the point that nikki haley is going around calling herself a tea party governor. -- i worked with the tea party governor, i got her elected in 2010. i know her very well from that standpoint, i know tim scott very well, got him elected in 2010. you could not see, you could not question their conservative bona fides. but here's the question, what will nikki haley say or do that liz cheney has not said and done? in terms of how the party has responded to being a tea party anything, being a conservative anything, it's not about being conservative, this does

to do the right thing. >> governor, earlier today governor haley spoke to our dana bash, in new hampshire today and said this about you. this is what governor haley said. he is not my concern. i'm going after trump. what do you say to her? >> so she said in her campaign that there's only two tickets out of iowa, the top two out of i would be viable and she would finish at least second, and that would be the race. guess what happened? even though she spent 100% of her money attacking me and not one red cent attacking donald trump and i faced almost 50 million in total, i got in second and she did not. and here's the thing, and iowa you can actually show up as a democrat on the day of the caucus, change your registration, and then participate in the republican caucus. in new hampshire, you can't do that. if you are a declared democrat then you can't vote in the primary. so, she was relying on her support for a lot of these democrats changing their registration on the day of the caucus. and here's the thing. in florida, i won a lot more democrats than previous ones have been able to do. to w

governor jones leadership embodies the same principles like president coolidge, governor gnome has to r a remarkable sense of responsibility, integrity and determination. her dedication to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights and freedoms of our constituents testifies to her unwavering commitment to the principles that it made our country great. we heard yesterday about how then massachusetts governor coolidge undertook progressive radical reforms to care for the working conditions of men and women, their social standing and the communities and families. his principles were crammed in the hills of vermont where his family were small business owners,d farmers, and community servants. governor noem's believe an inherent god-given dignity ofty the people of south dakota, the families and community springs from similar come from a similar lessons going up on a farm on the plains of south dakota as a rancher, farmer, and a small business owner. governor noem's recent book not my first rodeo, lessons from the heartland, unusually tells the story of her family community not po

so, you are deciding between governor haley and governor desantis.ead. >> thanks for taking my question. >> thank you. >> what is your strategy to overtake donald trump in the polls? >> you know, i think that what you are seeing is we've got momentum. we've got momentum in iowa, we've got no momentum in new hampshire. we're gonna continue to see us be strong in south carolina. and really what it's been is, let's talk about where this is. i personally think president trump was the right president at the right time. i agree with a lot of his policies. but the reality is rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. and we all know that's true. chaos follows him, and we can't have our country in disarray, and a world on fire, and go through four more years of chaos. we will survive it. and you don't defeat democrat chaos with republican chaos. now is the time we need to have a new generational leader, one that's going to leave the negativity and the baggage behind, and start focusing on the real issues that we have in the future. but more than that, americans

you are one of the youngest, if not the youngest governors in the state, the first female governor of arkansas. i want to ask you about a number of things, including the current arkansas law. we've been tog a lot about reproductive health. the law bans abortions except to save the mother's life in a medical emergency. no exceptions for rape or incest. your attorney general has twice recently rejected ballot measures that would repeal the ban and give a limited right to abortion up until 18 weeks of conception. as governor, are you open to any ballot initiative? >> look, i'm proud of the fact that arkansas is one of the most pro life states in the country. i'm unon getically pro life. i believe we are a culture that protects life, values life. i think that's who we are as a country and i'll continue to support those measures. >> but i know those are your personal convictions. would you seek the opinion of your constituents on this? some of the attorney general's objection, one of the things he objected to was replacing the word conception with fertilization and another one it was narro

governor abbott, we are going to put it right back up again. >> i support it is governor. i talked about to him for a while. i guarantee you. he is going to stand strong. he'll put razor wire up and blocking the border and do everything we need to do to protect our state. such a detrimental effect on state and country. >> sean: can't believe it. appreciate your time, thank you governors. texas deals with the border crisis, joe biden took a quick trip to wisconsin mumbling, slurring words whispering into the microphone. yelling getting confused and lying about it is economy. take a look. >> tim, thank you for the introduction. i got to meet his twins and wife. no won wonder he is here. they are going to keep him here. thanks to the outstanding senators, and amy klobuchar and tami smith from state of minnesota. if i have all three of them on my side i don't worry about anything. announce one billion dollars [indiscernible] by the way used -- used to brew beer here, thanks for the great lakes. my professor, my predecessor chose a different course. still making 350% profit cos

and governor, what you've seen, you're both governor, governor sununu, what you've seen is that these court cases have in the short term at least benefitted him with republican caucus goers, with republican primary voters in polls. that's part of the reason why he plays it up, and he goes to this hearing today that he doesn't have to be at. >> look, he plays the victim every time. on the court cases the average american voter they're not followi following him. that's not part of the equation. people want to know how you're going to save their social security, how you're going get inflation down. i could have an accountant in the white house that actually has fiscal responsibility and treats my hardworking dollar with the respect it deserves. trump never did that. trump has $7 trillion. that's inflation. inflation comes from over spending and over printing money in washington. biden made it ten times worse, no question, but as a republican, he did fulfill on the nation a lot of us sent him to washington -- >> up with final question as you've been describing, new hampshire is a little b

now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome governor ron desantis. before you get to folks of the audience, and as you mention, it is a -- donald trump cruised to victory. what can you do from stopping him from showing another big win here in new hampshire next week? >> look, i think it was the former president of the united states, he is one of the most famous people who has effer been in environment politics, and still had roughly half the iowa caucus goers. and there is an appetite for a different leader, and i think what i represent is somebody that has delivered on those key conservative policies that we have all been wanting to see in washington d.c.. you know, and florida, think about what we have done with our tax system budget, massive tax cuts every year, budget surpluses, and we pay down 25% of our states total debt. that is all we have sad since statehood. florida state government, a lowest number of state employees for capital in the country. our budget, even though we have millions more people than new york, our budget is half the size

it is not the 116th governor of south carolina. it is the governor of florida.plause] i will not get invited to nikki's christmas party next year. i had some of governor haley's people ask that he doesn't support a strong female executive to run in the state -- run the country. that is not true. if kim reynolds was the governor, i would have a kim reynolds tattoo. [laughter] it's about standing for somebody regardless of their gender, race, background who will fight for u and fight for america. we are in a moment where china is the greatest threat to the country we have seen in our lifetime. this meant is ely person running for president who no set to stand up to them. i will give the mic back to the governor but i want you to know from south carolina senator i hope you will get it right on january 15. i know you are. i like to brag we are first in the south in south carolina. geller first in the country -- ya'll are first in the country but only if you get it right. we will send this man to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. [applause] >> thank you so much. so, i'm runn

march on governor abbott. you're doing the right thing for the state of texas and the united states. >> we don't know the exact number. because we don't know the exact number, it's even more frightening for us. tomi lahren, the biden administration, after three years of keeping the border white open is saying the gop wants to keep the border open because they want to run on it. here's kamala harris. >> we have right now a proposal for $14 billion. we are trying to compel in particular some of the republicans in congress to participate in the solution. but sadly, you know, we want to fix it. they want to run on it. they want a political issue to run on in november. >> those that cover the border like we have for many, many years realize that there's no bill you can pass that will stop the flow of migrants. you have to security the border, tomi. >> right. this is not a money issue. you hear democrats talking about how they want to throw more money at the problem. more border patrol agents at the problem. it's no

governor. you had a meeting and anyway you spoke directly with them, i wanted to see if you were satisfied with the process of meeting with them , how many issues were there, was it the youth of the population , yes, there is an issue of something, did you request land transfer, were you able to get it? we are and finally they are persistent. when i went, i praised the governor and these, yes. now you have received the land , my name has been entered, but it has not been handed over yet. governor, i called your service when we talked yesterday , i saw the change of gear , how was it that you didn't know about the amount deposited? there was a case where he claimed that the money had not been deposited yesterday , i was surprised that nothing had been deposited and today we waited until today and checked and alhamdulillah his account was not receiving text messages . let us at least see the request. people often read about what is the topic . we may have brought a bag of names here my name is ir

[cheering] i would say to run you have been a good governor.eople in this race there were a lot of polls, all the polls are out except for this one and this comes down to what do you want. you want more of pain or something new. do you want to go back to country where they decide who's a good president or do you want to come together as americans and you know what were getting inflation down and get our economy back. and get our kids read it again and go back to the basics of education. working to secure our border once and for all. were you bring law and order back to this country and we're going to have a strong america that we can all be proud of. that is what we are doing. we have two days until the new hampshire comes to the polls and working to make sure that we fight all the way until the last second. and the people of it new hampshire should no when we vote the president and the incumbent. i will do everything i can to make sure you made the right decision. but for now i will leave you with this. may the best one when. jon: nikki haley

the governor didn't cancel.mportantly, you can't dismiss the people of iowa as a certain former governor of south carolina did it when she said new hampshire will correct iowa. [booing] one last thing a. when i said that list of things the governor will stand up for, go issue by issue, whether it is dealing with the border of the united states, the governor sent a plane loadliens to martha's vineyard and fundamentally transformed the debate. evybody said you can't do that, you will alienate hispanic voters. he won 62% of hispanic voters in fort a. they said -- in florida. they said you can't take on disney or big pharma, he took on every one of them and won four to buy a million and a half votes. that's what leadership looks like and that's what we want in the oval office. all due respect to the former president. i'm tired of excuses for why things didn't get done in washington. i'm tired of someone not showing up to the debates, i'm tired of someone assuming he's going to get anointed, i am tired of someone mor

>> hi, governor haley.n is soaring and multiple states are implementing higher minimum wages, which will only exacerbate cost of goods and job growth even more whether a can you realistically do as president to combat this or is there no going back. >> there is no going back. what the going back looks like. as much as i would love to say biden did this to us, our republicans did this to us, too. i mean, you look back at that $2.2 trillion covid stimulus bill that they passed with no accountability, we now have 80 million americans on medicaid, 42 million americans on food stamps. that's a third of our country. and did republicans try and make it right? nope. they opened up earmarks and pet projects for the first time in 10 years, pushing through 7,000 of them last keys. want to know how they spent your money? $30 million on an honors college in vermont. 10 million to tear down a hotel in alaska. 7.5 million on a courthouse in colorado. and the list goes on. in the 2024 appropriations budget, republicans put

the governors on their behalf are actually saying that after all , the governors are the president of province, and repeatedly from the governors themselves. there is a request. another issue was related to the elections. mr. president, he said again that we are not in favor of any candidate , we have no bias and no criminality. they will be efficient people, god willing , they will work in line with the interests of the system and the interests of the people. we can work with all of them . mr. imani, these were the words of the president , and we went to the news sections . what did you do with time management in the province? fortunately, we tried to increase our service to solve the problems people face during their travels i am a servant of the city, so far i have gone on 72 city trips to the cities of the province . in the second trip , we tried to set up a service desk for the people and for the investors and the guaranteed issues . i will try that after 10 years, 15 years , 20 years. we will solve the remaining issues in 5 to 7 years, for example, azadray in shiraz, isfahan, wh

governor, governor sununu is out saying that he believes that nikki haley can still win the presidencyloses new hampshire, but this obviously makes it a lot tougher and potentially an uphill road as we head into new hampshire on tuesday. yeah, and all of these contenders who are not named trump have said, if i can just get into a one on one with him, we heard this from their surrogates and from them today. if i can just be head to head with the former president, i can actually coalesce everybody who's not for president trump within the gop and make a real run at him. so nikki haley is going to get a chance now to try to prove that ron desantis name, obviously still on the ballot here come tuesday. and there will be choices. people will have to make, but then it's on to nevada, where nikki haley is not participating, and of course, on to her home state of south carolina, where the president leads her by a wide margin. but now, with the field cleared and just the two of them, it will be interesting to see what happens next in the meantime, they've got this slugfest to get out of here on

a very interesting element is the idea that governor haley might actually benefit from governor desantis remaining in the race, at least through new hampshire. why is that? because i think some believe that if governor desantis were to get out of the race, a lot of those votes would go to donald trump, rather than to nikki haley. so i think there's a weird way in which, yes, they're rivals, both in a sense competing for second place in iowa, but also there's a strange way in which if nikki haley is going to have a shot, she doesn't necessarily want him out quickly. >> that is really interesting analysis. natasha, i'm curious what you think happens if nikki haley ends up coming in second? because the polling is so very clear that donald trump is the frontrunner in iowa. >> well, i think momentum indicates possibility, right, and that is part of the reason why donald trump has shifted his attacks towards nikki haley. even though he tries to project confidence, and he is completely unbothered by the fact that she's polling so well in new hampshire, if she pulls this off, she helps to make r

i stand with the governor. te texasans stand with the governor. americans saying we have to make sure those coming over illegally, there's repercussions to this. i'd rather see the biden administration just do their job. instead of attacking texans and governors and, you know, bringing little old eagle pass in to this, how about enforce the laws on the books instead of putting this energy in to -- what is happening is, the politicians are going back and forth and the men and the women on the ground doing the work, they're usually close knit. the federal agency and the state department. now they're being put in tough situations. we need to get away from that and start enforcing the laws. >> martha: yeah, joaquin castro, a democrat from texas said governor greg abbott is using the texas national guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border. if abbott is defying yesterday's supreme court ruling, the president of the united states needs to establish sole federal control of the texas national guard now. do you see that happening? is president biden

been governor.nough and hopefully he has a good sense of what's going on in the world. >> are you going to caucus. >> yeah. i'm going. trump. >> raymond: why are you supporting the president? >> because. >> >> raymond: anything driving it? you want a change from biden? >> really pisses people off in iowa what do you call -- all them people in cahoots. the swamp. >> raymond: boy. i got a taste of remember music man they used to talk on the chip on the shoulder sensibility. iowans still have that these are not people you con easily. they are hard-working people they will tell you exactly what they feel. it takes a lot for candidates to cut through. most of them told me though they are voting for the trump record what he gave him before that they want back again. that seems to be driving a lookout of this. >> laura: what was the pay for that slinging the chicken from the ice flow. >> raymond: amazing chicken at the pizza ranch has the best fried chicken in iowa. >> laura: we were there with santorum. >

so, governor, thank you, chris, for your question. asked governor haley about this last night. here's what she had to say on the abortion issue. watch. >> the fellows just don't know how to talk about it. instead of demonizing this issue, you have to humanize this issue. >> we need to talk about it in a way that saving babies and supporting moms and whatever. 60 senators bring to me at whatever level we will support, because the only way we're going to do it is if we find consensus on the federal level. >> it's all about. what do you say to that, sir? well, i mean, i think that with all due respect to her, i've been in debates and i've heard her talk about things. >> and, you know, i think she's indulged in some of these left-wing tropes. i mean, for example, she has chastised pro-life is saying, you know, you shouldn't be talking about putting women in prison. nobody's talking about that. i've not met a single pro-lifer that has ever talked about that. >> that is a trope that the left in the media will use. and yet she's indulged, th

governor haley, welcome. we want tothe start th the first part of that sound bite was pretty much aimee at you.us your answer ine the new hampshe town hall about the cause of the civil war. you have tha since explained tht speeding was the cause, but what is your reaction to thek president going to a church in charlestond to you often talk about -- and he said, to go i after you and what he calls maga republicans led by a defeated president? >> first of all, mother emanuel church is a sacred place. we lost nine amazing souls that night for just going to a bible study. i will tell everybody, those amazing people, all 12 of them,o when someone else showed up that thedidn't look like them or act like them ort ca sound like the, they didn't call the cops. they didn't throw them out. instead, they pulled up a chair and prayed with him for an hour. and when they bowed their headso in that last prayer, he began to shoot. these are people likt e ethel lance, who had just lost her daughter two years prior to breast ca

the governor did not cancel it.e just went to castle county, and importantly you cannot dismiss the people of iowa as a certain former governor of south carolina did when she said new hampshire will correct to the votes of iowa. let me say one less thing before i turned it over. when i say the list of things the governor has stood up for, go issue by issue whether it was dealing with the border of the united states. the governor sent a plane load of illegal immigrants to martha's vineyard and fundamentally transform the vote when they said he could not do it. you cannot do that. you will alienate hispanic voters. he won 62% of hispanic voters in florida. they said you cannot challenge disney, you cannot take on the 800 pound gorilla, you cannot take on big sugar, big pharma. he took on every single one of them and won florida by 1.5 million votes. ladies and gentlemen, that is what leadership looks like. that is what we want in the oval office again, and with all due respect to the former, ok, i am tired of excuses

the governor making comments.ically saying they would consider whether negative rates will -- should remain if the price goal is insight. he is also mentioning the cost push inflation -- he is making a reference to oil. the readthrough from oil prices into the japanese economy is a crucial one. the governor is an academic. he considers all of his options. those comments creating strengthen the japanese yen. 147 17 is where we are. up next, markets today continues. coverage ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪

does the governor, governor desantis share that view? >> you'll have to ask governor desantis that. i made it clear. i will. i'm a republican. all of the candidates running will be -- >> neil: even after all the stuff he said about you? >> we've got to win. i mean, we're a resilient people. this country is in trouble. >> neil: i talked to a lot of people at that diner said it's not worth it. to go to trump, no. >> neil: i think too when you look at the direction of the country -- i believe it's ron. >> neil: if it were trump and biden, you, the -- >> i'm on record saying that and consistently saying that. i'm a republican. we need to not -- we need to make sure we don't re-elect president biden another four years. we can come back. we can get this country back on track. i'm not sure what happens with another four years under this administration and the open border and the economy. we're doing well in iowa against a lot of challenges from this administration. >> neil: you're a tough bunch. get to the polls. >> be safe. >> neil: governor reynolds on that she's optimistic. he hate -- h

what's your question for governor desantis. >> governor desantis, thanks for coming out today.rned my vote monday. >> gov. desantis: thank you. [applause] the left has weaponized the fbi, the doj and the irs against their political enemies, including president trump. when you are president, will there be a reckoning for this abuse of power. >> scott, thank you for the question. it's an easy answer. yes. and we're going to do it on day one. we're going to be ready to go. because, here's the thing. those agencies have become weaponized. i mean, you look at what they have done. i mean, i first saw it when i first ran for congress, i had groups in my district where the irs was targeting those conservative groups back there in 2012. and it's like a small nonprofit that just talking about the constitution no one was held accountable for doing that then you had the russia collusion where they went after president trump. false theory about stealing the '16 elections. they kneecapped him any way they could. nobody was held accountable for that so you are going to keep getting these outc

that's very good for governor haley. ron desantis, i mean, believe me, he is right now just googling cheap airfares back to tallahassee. >> molly, he was saying on cnn earlier today, no, no, no, he's in it for the long haul and so on. but it's hard to see where this race goes for him, if this plays out the way it's shaping up. >> yeah. i mean, i think trumpism without the charisma has very small window for windows. and i think they've decided they don't want it. nikki is a real contender to trump. but the problem fundamentally is that trump is not going to drop out. so, i don't know where nikki haley can -- i mean, even if she won every primary, like, there is no world in which trump is like, okay, i've been beaten. so, it comes -- so, you get stuck with the problem of trump. and i think this has been the problem with trump since 2016. >> yeah. and, you know, the question that i keep coming back to, paul, is -- and anna, you can weigh in on this as well -- you know, trump's lead, i mean, the way he leads with supporters

one of the earliest voices we heard backing governor abbott was oklahoma governor kevin stitt. want to take a temperature check on just how hot this issue is among republican governors and how far you are willing to go to help texas. >> well first off, i mean, i think the american people see exact will i what's happening. this is just the only explanation for the biden administration cutting razor wire to let people illegally into our country is for some reason he thinks it is good politically. now you see him flipping on that because american people are just outraged. so of course we stand with governor abbott because we have common sense. the american people want to defend our country. think about this. there is 28 ports of entry along the southern border with mexico and texas. it is already a federal law it is illegal to enter anywhere except those ports of entry. the american people are not fooled at all by the biden administration cutting razor wire and letting people is. it is an invasion. governor abbott is in his right to defend his state. other republican governors hav
