we will have patrick respond to them after kevin roberts speaks. i was really very happy that christine broached cooperation and mentioned the way in which some of the divisions that the country has might in fact be mitigated or together or overcome. so my question for kevin roberts is going in the other direction, however, because we also, of course, have conflict in this country, including conflict between conservatives and liberals. you're the leader of premiere conservative think tank in the united states, and yet you're well aware that know half of our country or, you know 40 to 50% of the public does seem to be liberal or, you know, leaning perhaps in a policy direction that may be different from what heritage has in mind. so you think about a mixed regime. how you think about heritage's mission, your mission as a leader in dealing with a country that is not altogether in support of the ideals that you cherish. great question. well, for record, i would still want to drown government. i know you expect to preserve the heritage foundation to sa

we'll have patrick respond to them after kevin roberts speaks. i was very happy and mentioned the way the divisions of the country might and happy mitigated or brought together or overcome.n, the question for kevin is going the other direction we have conflict in this country. including conflict between conservatives and liberals. you are the leader of the premier conservative think tank in the united states. and you are well aware half of our country or 40 -- 50% of the public might think of heritage admission as a leader. that is notot altogether great question. for the record i did not want to disappoint you. i mean that i mean that as a working-class conservative. ask to be argumentative i as i sometimes can be 60% of the american people are with us on that.. i'm very grateful for everything you have done but i actually foy think in the conversation thus far we have understated underestimated the endurance and strength of the institutional level outside the area or the community level of conservatism. it's just conservative. that leads me too

[applause] >> that perfectly tees up what i wanted to ask kevin roberts.hter] you are the leader of a conservative think tank. a conservative policy shop. there must be forms of progress you would like to embrace. how dotu you separate what is gd about progress including some of the points that christine brought up. progress has lately become a sort of deliberate move away from everything traditional. >> that is a good question, dan. it will just be so synced. progress is exemplified by increasing the dignity of the human person. the example that jd just mentioned for new moms or moms to be, struggling with that, that would be an example. i think where patrick is so right and is been right for many years is reminding conservatives of any strike that whether a politics orat policy or culture society at large, what we need to be focused on is the human person in the community. those are some of the eternal things that conservatism has always been about. the long, long tradition through the t post cold war area up to this day that maybe it is not as descenden

kevin roberts president of the heritage foundation. great to have you both. tart with you, kevin. make your case on what you think should be done here? >> we certainly want the ukrainians to win. the problem is as bill pointed out and the poll shows, the american people realize that there is no end in sight. the president of the united states has not offered a plan. vast majority of americans either support just what we've done or less. they don't support the upcoming bill. ultimately you can believe that the ukrainians should win, which we do. while also realize the germans and french who like to fag their finger at americans and tell us what to do need to pull more of their own weight. there are a lot of challenges at home including an increasing number of emergencies, obviously from the hawaii fire and probably some hurricanes soon. we have to take care of our interests at home before spending more money on ukraine. >> dana: rebecca, you are concerned about interest as home but you have a different point of view. make your case here. >> we do have a lot of

but in the spirit of, of our heritage foundation, kevin roberts, who hosts his own show and always askedis guests this question to conclude why did you wake up optimistic today? because i knew i was coming here and seeing some friends. i mean, look, america has always been a idea in search of the ideal, but it has to be preserved. it has be renewed like we used to renew a library books, or it will expire. and the values and virtues made this country great that values and virtues that established and men and women who establish everything and the woman asked in 1776 was asked and he responded republic if you can keep it. we have to keep it, if not the natural state of humanity. otherwise nations in the worldce would embrace it. we are an oasis in the midst of best desert and if we do not promote this country, who else will? i know how it turns out with the leadership we have. you will be demagogue and suggestions for running for office about a press release. pressing on and talk to neighbors and friends and how the ideas are working.

thank you for the sunday panel bloomberg washington bureau peggy collins kevin roberts the presidentherite foundation. fox news senior political analyst juan williams. good to see all of you even though it is remotely this morning. let's start there, it's hard to believe this week was the fourth and died of her president trump it seems eons ago. it was money the truth is it's ramping up are waiting to see them turn himself in for processing. i talked to asa hutchinson of the former governor by the way said this when he has made the thresholds to be on the debate stage. and he says by the way he will sign the pledge i asked him about that friday but did not seemed like he is clear that he says yes it sounds like he's going to say it he thanks president trump is not going to be the nominee for assem is a former federal prosecutor all these cases going on trying to run for president, how do you manage this? here's his assessment. >> note that is the reason for the good of the presidency and our country step aside piglets you know he won't. >> he won't. but he should. so those in iowa, t

let's bring in former adviser for the 2012 romney campaign kevin madden and former obama white house press secretary robert gibbs. kevin, i'm going to start with you, your biggest takeaway from the debate last night? >> well, i think you saw a little bit of the big moments that folks were looking for for breakthroughs in the campaigns. you had the fight between vivek ramaswamy and nikki haley over foreign policy, which kind of represented the more of a nationalist focus on national security and then a traditional sort of national security conservative with nikki haley, and then the fight between vivek ramaswamy as well. he was in a lot of fights last night with mike pence sort of represented the old approach and the new approach inside the party, and so those type of breakdowns, i think, are sort of reflective of some of the debates that many of these voters are having inside the party as they try to sort of lit litigate who is going to emerge to be the real alternative to take on donald trump and whether or not that person would ever be viable in a one on one showdown with donald trump inside the primary.

robert cnn anchor and chief correspondent kevin collins. >> i mean of course we all saw this coming, of course there is no evidence therefore there was not gonna be anything. what is the back story, next you know? >> i think the mini anybody sought, they did not think it was likely going to happen or if it was, nobody believed he was going to show up almost three years after the election. with this irrefutable proof of election fraud. that he's not been able to come up with the two and a half years now. but it was a surprise to a lot of his advisers when he posted. and it was really specific, he said next monday, 11 am. so a lot of his advisers were surprised that he posted. that >> we saw when he posted on truth social, i mean it wasn't something that was a well coordinated or thought out strategy. >> it really surprises me. >> it wasn't something he can someday his attorneys on. they put the damper on this by i was told todd blanche one of the main attorneys handling a lot of his cases. that they were essentially making the argument to him, go to trump and say don't do this, snow i

i do expect at some point kevin mccarthy is going to have to give in. >> robert, obviously we know yous press secretary, but can i just ask you about like the overall thought you have when i look at any presidential campaign. it's complicated, you don't know what's going to happen. something surprises you. real world stories come up, controversies real or imagined come up. this is, everybody just the logistics of it, boggle the mind, and now added to everything that's going on with donald trump, you have this potentially with hunter biden, we don't know what's going to come of it. what does the landscape look like for 2024? >> well, it looks different than it did a few hours ago. no doubt, and i think, you know, you'll have a lot of time will be spend over the next few days, trying to figure out and map out what they think is going to happen. look, that's the one thing that that's unique about politics and political campaigns is just when you think you've got everything figured out, the news intervenes, world events intervene, and the campaign that wins will be the campaign that naviga

kevin o'leary. live on the ground in clearwater, what is the latest, robert? >> good afternoon. clearwater beach.'m standing on coronado. we have bands of wind picking up and some spotty rain. isn't that amazing? this hurricane is over georgia and we are still feeling the effects here. police were serving this area while the road was full of water. they tell me they feel most people heeded mandatory evacuation warning. they think most people got out. they were cruising north clearwater beach and did not see many people that stayed. not a lot of structural damage, though the water is higher down there. we will go and take a look at that part of the island very soon. assess it for ourselves. i am not negating power and fury of this hurricane, the big bend area is where this hurricane came in as category 3. by the way, it hit category 4 strength at one point before landfall. that area taking upward 10 to 15 feet of storm surge, anyone in the way of that cannot survive. we saw that last year. structures get washed,a way and vehicles, and wind at 125 mile per hour, roofs will be ripped apart. in clear

robert says the right thing. we will do -- i want to pick up on the other thing the congresswoman was saying and what you are talking about with keviny. unfortunately, you guys don't do it. i have spent my weekend reading the wall street journal. jonathan hurly and a bunch of bad faith, bad lawyers who are making terrible arguments out there about trump's legal defenses, right? you have heard, i'm sure, katie, this argument that he is prosecuted for free speech. that isn't 80 argument. to put it very clearly, look, it's live, right, katie? i can sit here on live television that i am a nigerian prince. that is not a crime. everybody, i can say. i'm a nigerian prince. i just got off the plane. once i say i am a nigerian prince. please give me your credit card information so that i may release my own funds. now we have gone from a line that, is not criminal, to fraud. which is criminal. that is the difference. that is what trump has done. he has taken his lines and turn them into fraud by trying to obstruct the elections process. trying to change the vote and trying to deprive people of their civil rights. that is not free speech. that

robert f. kennedy jr. is here today with reaction to what was said by the gop candidates on wednesday night. also, the latest in the biden investigation developments today. in moments, mr. wonderful himself, kevin o'leary, the advice that he has for anybody out there trying to buy a home or to keep up with their mortgage payments. it's not easy these days. mortgage rates have hit the highest level in 22 years. the 30-year fixed is now averaging 7.23%. that's a look at the average jump in monthly payments from two years ago. we were just under 3%. remember that americans also have a record credit card debt. moving your money around to try to pay the bills and the mortgage, people are dipping into their credit card reserves as well. kevin o'leary will be with with his advice on how to manage this. first to fox business white house correspondent, edward lawrence. hi, edward. >> hi, martha. jay powell is hinting that a little more pain for americans is coming in the form of another rate hike. one of the reasons he's pointing to that is bake of the economic growth that we've seen over the first half of the year. too hot to bring inflation down like he would want. as we've seen with president joe bid

kevin mccarthy to go through with this. and unlike in '99, leader schumer, if it were to ever get to the senate, would dismiss there wouldn't even be a trial. he would dismiss the charges as robert byrd tried to do, the conscience of the senate. schumer would just dismiss the charges there would never be a trial. >> i still don't understand what the allegation is. the allegation is that the biden -- you hear all these republicans on fox talking about the biden crime family. >> yeah. >> i get the brothers and the son traffic on the family name, which unfortunately is unbelievably common in washington, d.c. >> well, you never hear about that in d.c. no one uses their family make, huh-uh. >> he would be the fourth president theoretically to be ard with high crimes and misdemeanors. this is after andrew johnson who violated the tenure of office act, bill clinton for lying under oa and perjury with monica lewinsky. and then for inciting the insurrection. mcconnell actually argued against impeaching biden. he said impeachment should be rare, not common. but boy, it's getting common. >> it's getting very common. i was on two of those impeachments i helped cover under trump. and at the
