marco rubio was surging in the polls. christie was going flat nowhere at that point. that moment on that debate stage to absolutely dismantle marco rubio. and it resulted in trump winning new hampshire and arguably putting him on the path to win the nomination. so christie never tried that game against donald trump. we saw a lot of other republicans at varying times in '16 try to force or stage moments where they stood up to trump. they generally ended up looking weak, slinking off. if christie can make the debate stage, if donald trump shows up for it and if christie does what he is telegraphing that he will do, it could be a variable we haven't seen in '16. i don't know if it elevates christie at all in terms of his standing, but could it land a punch against trump that nobody in nearly a decade now of watching trump interact with the republican party, that nobody has managed to land. >> and charlie sykes, i'm told mike pence when he announces tomorrow in iowa, he is going to be more -- a this people close to him feels as former vice president, obviously very loyal

marco rubio is a representative of the republicans, and the u.s.eign policy establishment was very afraid that caracas could find tehran and iran could find bolivia, and bolivia could find mexico, and mexico could find beijing. all roads these days seem to lead the way from washington. that is why they got behind the coup attempt against pedro castillo in peru. now supporting the coup government representation in brazil yesterday. they are doing everything to pivot towards a leader who spends more time critiquing caracas than he does washington when his own country was a victim and survivor of the 9/11, 1973 coup. i certainly think he has to think about his talking points and his priorities. we have seen a more bold lopez obrador. we have never heard a mexican presidency since the 1950's speak in these nationalist and internationalist terms. so i think overall, the second intermission of the pink tide, the synthesis is more south american integration and unity and true self-determination. but as we are hearing, there are many challenges coming from

senior strategist, here you see a former communications director for marco rubio for president.e in the first in the nation caucus state of iowa, let's start with you. you say it would be, quote, death by a thousand cuts to beat trump. mike pence has intensified his rhetoric since the indictment was unsealed. is that enough to compete against his former boss? >> i think it's going to help. when you declare for president, you're implying that you're a better candidate and you'd be a better president. so the initial round of talking point trs these candidates, including pence, was to go after the biden justice department. go after that all you want, but you're trying to make an argument here, a campaign is a competition, and you need to be able to say why you'd be better and why trump is flawed, why he shouldn't be president again. once the indictment was rereleased publicly, it got easier. you could see only candidates step up their rhetoric and be able to call out the president for making a huge mistake. ask making a mess. it's a mess of his own making really. >> and you believe

any hurts marco rubio. but marco rubio ain't donald trump. and the point both of you just made, he not only has to face voters, he will have to face donald trump, and when he does, trump's just gonna turn around and make all the points when needed, including, you are the first to endorse, me ran my transition, you wanted a big job until my son-in-law reminded you that he put his dad in jail, and we sent you packing. how she's gonna respond to that? you know trump's ready for it. >> well the first thing, donald trump controls -- he's gonna control whether not he is on the stage with chris christie. so, there's a ring already said that donald trump's in the ring, and chris christie's in the ring. donald trump has the choice, whether or not even walks into the ring. that's chris christie's problem in this. the second problem is, if he thought he had a problem -- in 2016, i think this is why chris knows better. if there is a problem in 2016, donald trump is more popular today among republicans by 15 points, more popular today, then he was when he

he was investigating something that marco rubio's senate intel committee said of trump's 2016 interactions with russia. manafort's high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the russian intelligence services represented a grave counterintelligence threat. okay, so he opens up an investigation against that and brings up, again, so many things that are disturbing. then we keep hearing about the biden crime family. but you ask the question, what crime? they can't tell you. "wall street journal" editorial page rightly says, a lot of smoke, no fire. you have grassley, the most senior republican, when confronted about a document they're looking for and how it really doesn't do anything to suggest joe biden did anything wrong. we don't care whether they're right or wrong. you have comey going out and saying, "we don't really care. we're just trying to bring down his poll numbers." comer, i'm sorry, comer. yesterday, i think maybe the saddest and most pathetic spectacle of all, when john durham, who has made a fool of himself time and again, bro

listen to what marco rubio, senator marco rubio had to tell -- told fox news recently. >> even if you read the indictment, nowhere does it say and as a result the national security of organizations harvey in this way, okay? and you have to weigh that with an indictment, that now is going to put our country in a deep -- already divided and polarized country in a really dangerous place. >> so he is on the senate intelligence committee, he has talked in the past about his concern about trump having access to national security information. why do you think he can't just say what you have said? >> well, i think -- i have a little respect for marco rubio. i think the party as a whole is risking falling into the trap of caesar-ism, that this leader gets deference regardless of our political principles. and i think we have got to foul our principles, and let the consequences fall where they may. in this case, the reason the mishandling of classified information is serious is because it put at risk these sensitive pieces of information making it more likely that a foreign adversary could get t

the problem the biden people face now is this letter by the community mark warner and marco rubio attacking the white house for that they are covering up and demanding an explanation. frankly, this could get worse for the biden team. the chinese have a deeper relationship with cuba than we realized. this is a sensitive thing back in 1962, in 1962, you recall we almost had a nuclear war. this is a very dangerous situation that the biden team got themselves in. i don't believe admiral kirby that he didn't know what to say until a day or two later. >> you mentioned marco rubio, the florida senator had this to say. watch. >> it is not just there. they're all over the hemisphere. you are going to find the chinese are trying to find a presence there. >> when you look at cuba and alaska and trying to get on military bases. it seems like they're always in this aggressive push for information. >> well, worse case scenario is they are preparing for an attack on taiwan in the coming year or two before we get an improvement in the way we try to protect taiwan. if you are doing that then having a spy ba

the polls in new hampshire, chris christie was going nowhere in the poll he turned his fire on marco rubion that debate, it was a devastating attack that christie carried out on rubio in that debate. that certainly help elevate trump in new hampshire. he's the wild card. we haven't seen that. if christie could get on the debate stage it could be an interesting dynamic to watch. >>> let's expand our conversation now, i want to bring in a couple of political insiders, christine todd whitman, co-chair of the forward party. and former white house press secretary robert gibbs. thank you both for being here. governor, you know former governor chris christie, you're familiar with his voters and supporters in your home state, your thoughts on christie jumping into the 2024 race? is he in it to win it or hurt trump in. >> he has nothing to lose by getting in it. he raises his profile nationally which is nowhere as you can see from that poll right now. he enjoys the battle and can certainly compete with trump. the problem for him is to get on the debate stage. he's got a record to run on, good and b

senator marco rubio's memoir american dreams. another another sort of lousy title, which he published in 2015. now, the first person that rubio thinks by name in the acknowledgments of his book is, is is a big deal. and many of you hear it in early in particular will recognize the name. he says, i think my lord jesus christ, whose willingness to suffer and die for my sins will allow me to enjoy eternal. it's a wonderful sentiment. a person of faith. who's the second person? marco rubio. thanks my very wise lawyer. bob barnett. now that's even funnier if you know that bob barnett is, a seriously big time lawyer in d.c., he helps candidates prepare for presidential. his clients are like major and media figures for whom really lucrative book deals. it does not get more establishment than bob barnett and i just love so much that rubio wrote this. i'm so grateful to him because it tells you so much about the inside outside the game that politicians play right like you know beating your chest about jesus in one sentence and hiring like

senator marco rubio has spoken out against this. he put an ad that he wanted to be shown in the middle of the game tonight, but it was rejected. in it you'll see a man that uses across as the stripper poll. >> tonight the dodgers are not celebrating pride. they're promoting bigotry. the so-called sister of perpetual indulgence are not community heros. there's nothing more than an anti catholic hate group. >> martha: why is that okay when other religions, someone is going after them, what would the reaction be? this is sister unity from the group. watch. >> the l.a. dodgers need to mow and marco rubio needs to know and the catholic league needs to know we're not freaks out here on our own, that you can hit like a tin can off of a fence. we're part of a large community. some of whom are even part of your church. >> martha: so this could turn into a scene tonight. there's active counter protests that say that they will be peaceful. we'll watch that live later. in moment, father gerald murray from here in new york with the church's pers

or others in 2016 -- against marco rubio or others in 2016.he gets on the debate stage, watch for him to have the opportunity to make an impact. a. paul: and the former vice president, mike pence. he's going to run as a reagan conservative, traditional values on culture but also free markets on economics and a strong foreign policy, not isolationist. what do you think his chances are? >> well, again, it depends on the debates. and in his case, i think it depends upon a couple of people bloodying somebody up so people say i'm look for the guy who's the adult the in the room. and the ultimate adult in the room is mike pence who, level-headed, even-keeled, what you see is what you get. he is a reagan conservative, traditional values, strong national defense, limited government, cut spending, america has a role to play in the world. but his path to victory depends upon some of the other candidates making themselves radioactive by the exchanges they engage in either with donald trump or donald trump with them. paul: it seems like a lot of the non-t

we saw what i was able to do with marco rubio in 2016.n as we have seen chris christie willing to do so. we have seen others that kind of attacked trump. ron desantis has been starting to be a little bit more fierce in his attacks towards trump. asa hutchison has been. asa hutchison said he would support a donald trump canned da sichlt i don't know if you'll see chris christie take that same agreement. his candidacy seems to be a kamikaze candidacy. he knows that his chances at -- >> you think that? >> i believe that. i think he knows that he's unpopular with voters and that he is just going to be that disruptor candidate who is going to create a lane for another candidate. >> he takes issue with that, obviously. >> that has been a narrative. what he said yesterday that is interesting, i love seeing the press coverage of me getting to run. christie doesn't care about winning. all he cares about is destroying trump. i do think it forgets how he governed new jersey. not all perfect, at all. but won by a wide margin that there was bridgegate

marco rubio was the chairman of senate intelligence and is very versed in this. lindsey graham is interesting, former senate judiciary chairman. listen to what he said. >> he is innocent until proven guilty. if he's found guilty will you respect that decision? >> well, let's see what happens in the trial. >> would you support him if he's convicted? >> let's see what happens. i intend to support president trump. i don't think this goes to trial before the election. there are way too many issues in this case. the chance of him getting acquitted if a juror believes this is unfair. you have to do two things as a prosecutor. you have to prove the letter of the law and prove it's the right thing to do. >> he's a former j.a.g. officer in the military. there's a real tell there. he's saying with some foreknowledge that this could get well past the election knowing this judge and the procedures. >> that's what makes this moment extraordinary. we have a former president who has been indicted twice and nothing bars him from continuing to run or win. as a political matter if

we played a montage of all the times on the debate stage when he went after marco rubio and it was a legendary takedown in that way and i think he is kind of banking on a similar ability to really go frontally against trump and do it in a way that catches people's attention and makes headlines. if you want to stop trump, somebody's gonna have to do that. >> if i was trump, i wouldn't wouldn't chris christie in my debate. i wouldn't if i am the other candidates either. he provides a wow card factor, can perform on the stage. to the marco rubio point, you don't know who is going to be the opponent on the other side of those attacks. i think that's a real "x" factor. >> that was the gasp or could not catch my breath in real time. if you are ron desantis looking at the people coming into this race, and you made an interesting point on the evangelical side of things, if you are ron desantis, who are you looking at and saying i need them out quickly? >> everyone to is not donald trump. he needs to go into 2024 as that other alternative and coalesce those other options. i think somewhat the

them >> also, did you see marco rubio the other day basically by may consultants that told him not to attack trump, go after chris christie, and chris christie is taking credit for how he handled marco rubio on the debate stage. i do think that we will be rethinking it. it's unavoidable. it's also a different place than we were given what's happened with january six and everything that happened with the ears and the white house. i know pence has to say this, but tonight, when he was talking about the contradiction in saying -- he will support the nominee, he says he has great confidence in republican primary voters that trump will not be the nominee. right now, he is far and wait different corner. two things that stand out to me tonight is that dana was asking about questions that broke with a lot of the republicans that are running on ukraine, saying that he would continue to fund ukraine and also on social security saying that trump at the same policy as president biden, which is that there should be no changes to entitlement. pence saying that we had to talk about this. they do hav

and so i got to work with my colleague marco rubio, who had also, uh, met with a constituent from florida and so we thought, "we should together fix this." and so we've been working ever since on legislation that changes how, uh, trucks are allowed to be constructed, make sure there are guards in the back, and make sure there are guards on the side, make sure there's regulations to insist upon certain protocols. >> thompson: gillibrand, a democrat, introduced the stop underrides act with republican senator marco rubio, who declined to be interviewed. it called for stronger rear guards, and for the first time, would have required side guards. but the bill repeatedly stalled out in committee. when we talk to people in the trucking industry, they say, "those folks on capitol hill, "they don't know our business, "they don't understand what's going on the roadways, and they make this legislation that doesn't reflect reality." what do, what do you say to that? >> that they're uninformed, and probably their, their bosses and their lawyers and their accountants are saying, "we're not going to spe

are excited about chris christie coming in, even though i remind people that he actually took out marco rubio and was one of the first to endorse donald trump in 2016. so, i think it's a lot of -- and, look, it's not a bad play. if you're ron desantis and you've decided not to try to be a better person than donald trump but to just try to out-trump trump, it's actually an okay strategy if you know that donald trump is not going to make it to the primary election day. and i think that's what he's banking on. if for some reason donald trump gets indicted and he goes down, ron desantis at this moment today is probably there to pick up the slack. but the way these guys were fighting with each other and their camps were fighting with each other, i don't think there's going to be much friendship left between either of them. >> everyone does look to what happened to marco rubio, who decided to try to out-trump trump and talked about his small hands, et cetera, and kind of annihilated himself. >> that's true. at the same time, if you look at the long list of people who had thoughts about trump, who s

something of a kamikaze pilot to try to take someone out. >> bret: which we saw in 2016 with senator marco rubiod it effectively. rubio never really recovered from that moment. is this what he is trying to do with former president trump or is this history lesson leading up to, you know, taking out everybody? >> perhaps he can give us a history lesson on the number of successful presidential candidates who ran motivated mostly by revenge. i think that's a very short list. andrew jackson, perhaps, is the only one. but i think that one of the things. >> donald trump. >> when from the white house correspondence dinner. the thing that i think you can say about christie is in a candidate pool that is relatively low octane when it comes to moon caive ability, he typically has shown more of a gift for that. you know, that's something that plays well in new hampshire. again, i don't see a lane here. the lane for conservative populism that includes donald trump and ron desantis is enormous. it is the overwhelming lane in the party everyone else is fighting over a very thin dog track that's running alongsi

let me play for you what marco rubio said. >> what was the damage? this stolen and sold to the iranians? sold to the saudis? given over to the russians? that allegation's not made in that indictment. no one's made that allegation. so at the end of the day, we have to weigh the damage of the indictment versus the damage of the allegations if proven true. it's just not even a fair way. >> so this is an issue of fairness, michael? >> what the hell is he talking about? what are you kidding me? you're sitting there, you're holding documents you shouldn't have that are marked secret, top secret. oh, so you can hold the documents as long as you don't sell them to somebody? this is the kind of word salad crazy these people are twisting theirselves in knots, and they know, marco rubio knows damn well if this were joe biden in this situation, he would be saying 180 degrees from what he's saying, but he can't and he won't because he's afraid of some imaginary ghost inside the gop. he's still afraid of donald trump. he's afraid of the process coming up and bitin

happened with marco rubio getting completely dressed down by donald trump. he became little marco, and that was the end of that, and of course chris christie, sacrificing himself in a political kamikaze move to take out rubio as well. this i know you are but what am i strategy we're seeing developing between trump and desantis, just trading barbs like this, it's so immature and petulent, this does not demonstrate seriousness for someone running to be the free leader of the world. i don't know for republican primary voters they're entertained by this. they want to go with donald trump. this is why trump is so far ahead of everyone, including desantis. >> we are still just getting ready, you know, to sort of gear up into this. this is the first time that we have seen these candidates out on the campaign trail in this way, and we've got three new players who are going to get into this already crowded field. christy pence, of all the folks you see, the declared ones, the ones that are going to be declaring and the other potential candidates, who do you think may

remember how he took on marco rubio in 2016? in that infamous debate, and kind of destroyed him?oyed marco rubio, but he also destroyed himself in the process, and i think that's a little bit of the danger here. because he's not really popular with the republican electorate at this point, so he has to ingratiate himself to republicans, while taking on their favorite soldier. >> lieutenant governor, duncan, do you think he has a lane? >> yeah i certainly do. i mean what i heard tonight was somebody who wants to, win but is not afraid to lose. i think that's a dangerous combination for somebody like donald trump to have to face that type of music. i think chris christie needs to stick to the script, he was a two-time governor in a blue state. he's been a republican longer than donald trump ever has, i think he needs to stick to that script and continue to hammer. >> it's interesting van, because chris christie is pushed this notion that he is simply going to attack donald trump in the primary. he says he wouldn't run if he didn't believe he could actually win this thing. >> he's go

marco rubio never recovered from that.on. >> i remember that moment well, as well. one of many. you are right. puck buckle up. for political reporters it's going to be a lot. when we look at who you have coming up, on this weekend's show i love the pairing this weekend. you have dr. phil and you have jay leno. dr. phil joining you. he is wrapping up, i knew it was a long time, 21 years of his talk show, ending in the spring. what did you two talk about? especially the way that he ended and how he is feeling about it. >> he feels great about it. he has been number one or number two in daytime television. he has a deal to start doing prime-time programming. one of the reasons we wanted to do him today is that the surgeon general just came out, vivek murthy, with a report about the social harms of social media, especially to kids, and we talk in depth about that with dr. phil. is this a clip or? >> i think we have it. we don't. >> in any case, he basically says that, you know, in the early 2000s apple, he doesn't single them

marco rubio would have won virginia and beaten donald trump if john kasich had not been in the race.or republicans is how many stay in when they have got no chance. amna: and you say stay in, past those early states, past south carolina in this case? whit: yes, yes, stay in past south carolina. just like the democrats did with joe biden -- after south carolina, they got out and endorsed him. amna: i want to ask you about some of the specific candidates, especially the ones that joined the race this week. the line that mike pence has to walk here, running against the man alongside whom he served for four years, whose supporters said they wanted to kill him on january 6, what do you make of how he's messaging along those lines right now? whit: mike pence, who, by all accounts, is a very good man, is caught between a rock and a hard place. he's not trumpy enough for the trumpies, and he's too trumpy for the non-trumpies. so he's got a very difficult line to walk. we will see if he can make that work. but it's a tough, tough line. amna: what do you make of how chris christie has set hims

he may have destroyed marco rubio but he also destroyed himself in the process and i think that's a little here. because he's not really popular with the republican electorate at this point, so he has to engrash yacht himself to republicans while taking on their favorite soldier. >> lieutenant governor duncan, do you think he has a lane? >> i certainly do. what i heard tonight was somebody who wants to win but not afraid to lose. i think that's a dangerous combination for somebody like donald trump to have to face that type of music. i think chris christie needs to stick to the script that he was a two-time governor in a blue state, he's been a republican longer than donald trump ever has. i think he needs to stick to that script and continue to hammer. >> chris christie has pushed against this notion he is simply going to attack donald trump in the primary. he says he wouldn't run if he didn't believe he could actually win this thing. >> he has the same chance as he has getting the democratic nomination. he has no support in that party that rivals some of the people in the single digits b

>> well i have a lot of respect for marco rubio. party as a whole is risking falling into the track of caesar-ism, that this leader gets deference, regardless of our political principles. and i think we have got to follow our principles and let the consequences fall where there may. in this case, the reason, the mishandling of classified misinformation is serious because it puts at risk the sensitive pieces of information, making it more likely that a foreign adversary could get their hands on it. it's not enough to say well, the russians and the chinese don't have it. although we don't know that for sure. it increases the danger they could get it. that's why, the criminal statutes will coordinate for very proven reasons. >> before i let you go, there's an election coming up. if it is trump versus biden again, are you gonna support trump again? >> i did not support trump in 2020. i did support him in 2016, him and hillary clinton were a year ahead of me in law school. so, i knew them both. and i thought it was worth taking the risk

that was lindsey graham, let me also play senator marco rubio on cbs. >> when you bring an indictment isolation, it's not done in a vacuum. you have to take a lot of things into account. there's no allegation there was harm done to the national security. there's no allegation he sold it to a foreign power or that it was trafficked to somebody else or anybody got access to. >> all right. so we have two senators who are going on the record. we also have tim scott who's in the presidential race. he's been defending donald trump. have we heard anything from mitch mcconnell or other members of senate leadership? >> reporter: senate leadership to this point has been mum. mitch mcconnell was on the senate floor a few minutes ago. he talked about needing to fund aid to ukraine, and did not mention the former president, and refused to answer any questions about it. we'll have to see as more senators arrive here today if we start to get more of a sense of where many of them stand, but you point out the comments by senator rubio and senator graham, that follows a textbook of talking points by re

marco rubio would have beaten donald trump had john kasich not been in the race. to watch for republicans is how many stay in when they have no chance. amna: you say stay and pass the early states? whit: past south carolina, just like the democrats did with joe biden after south carolina. amna: i want to ask you about f osothece icifsp. the line that mike pence has to walk here, running against the man alongside whom he served for four years, whose supporters wanted to kill him on january 6. what do you make about how he is messaging along those lines? whit: mike pence is caught between a rock and a hard place. he is not trump enough for the trump bees and he is too trumpy enough for the non-trumpys. it's a tough line. amna: does chris christie ramping up his attacks against some of trump, does that force of the candidates to meet him where he is? whit: no. he's. talented and very good at making an argument. very powerful at making an attack on his oppones. but the republican party is split into three factions. there is a never trump faction that is only about 10%

so, by enlarge, marco rubio who is the ranking member of the intelligence committee was dismissing it. by enlarge, republicans are still standing with donald trump at least publicly as well as fundraising. i just want to come back to a point -- >> could i interrupt for one second because people are wondering what we're watching which is this is the versailles cafe in miami. you could see there is a group of presumably trump supporters, to famous cuban restaurant in miami. that you see a group of trump supporters presumably waiting for him and he may be going into there and when that happens, we'll bring it to you. but please go ahead, jamie, with what you were saying. >> any mirs job was in miami. i spent a lot of time there. >> -- for republicans on the campaign trail. >> i know that we've said this every day, but the question we have to keep asking is why he did it. to dana point, a federal indictment. this is different. trump brought this day on himself. he could have stopped it at any time by simply giving back the documents. >> and just to bring these two conversations together,

he's best remembered for when he essentially destroyed marco rubio's presidential hopes, when it lookedopportunity to win the new hampshire primary. there was talk about chris christie being a contender, he did run in 2012. now he is running for the second time. i think it will be him going on a kamikaze course towards donald trump. we will see. anchor: i want to ask about an event that takes place in iowa, the roast and ride. iowa has the most amazing events. anthony: this is from joni ernst, where they get on motorcycles, the presidential candidates, rev the engines. i have not been to this one, but i have been to other kinds of events. a democratic senator had a fish fry, steak fry for some time. i went to a wing ding dinner in 2019, but no chicken wings. i was disappointed. anchor: we will have to get you on a motorcycle one day. thank you so much. researchers in the u.k. say blood tests have shown promising results in detecting a fifth -- in detecting 50 different kinds of cancer. we have a medical editor now with more. correspondent: scientists believe we are getting closer to a b
