fellow democrat marianne williamson was also in the hawkeye state to campaign. lionel richie, more than 25000 fans waiting all night long after canceling earth wind and fire show at madison square garden an hour after it was supposed to start. he is blaming last night's rain in new york city saying he could not fly into the big apple the legendary singer writing i am so bum were rescheduling the show to monday august 14 i cannot wait to perform for you wall. i'm going to have to vouch for lionel richie. i lost three hours of sleep because the rain was powerful. it woke me up and i cannot get back to sleep. i'm tired this morning. lionel is not lying. joey: i did not know there was any rain. i woke up and everything was w wet. i feel like madison square garden concert like that is a big deal, may become in the day before. i don't know his schedule but it's a tough one for me to understand. i cannot get to you at the concert speaker a terrifying moment caught on body camera. a florida deputy is exposed to fentanyl. >> i got lightheaded call ems. >> breathing, brea

support -- when asked if they supported democratic candidates, they were more likely to say marianne williamson or rfk junior they're not establishment voters. maria: democrats are saying there ill will be no debate, there will be nobody else taking market share from joe biden, he's our glia that's why we like vivek, the millennial voters want him. it revives the party, it's a fresh face for the party. whatever you want to say about republicans on stage, yes, they debated. we have a deep bench as opposed to democrats who have no one at this point. we don't think joe biden is capable in the next election cycle. >> joe biden got his butt kicked in the primary debates in 2019. so -- maria: he's in the basement. >> he wasn't even winning until everyone magically dropped out on super tuesday. everyone dropped out right before super tuesday. maria: this super tuesday the big topic of conversation could be president trump's trial. >> yep. maria: since they want the trial the day before super tuesday. what does that tell you about this whole process. don't forget about nikki haley, she did well in the

he's way ahead of rfk jr., marianne williamson but this is affect him in the general? do people look at joe biden is question his integrity? >> i think you're right on the primary. i don't think is necessarily impacts joe biden in the primary even though there might be an enthusiasm gap within the democratic party and among democratic voters and most are squarely behind joe biden and expect him to be the nominee of the democratic party. however, in the general election, it's harder to say because this is all happening at the same time as president trump is facing his own legal issues so you have, you know, undecided voters looking at these two men, looking at a former president who's facing legal issues and looking at a former vice president now president whose son has these connections to the shady business dealings so both candidates and their own different ways have baggage so i'm curious to see whether voters prioritize that. if it turns them off. i don't think this is going to be a top priority for votersment i think the economy as it usually is is going to decide

present biden is basically only being challenged by the anti-fax or robert kennedy junior and marianne williamsoner followers and $250,000 the bank doesn't exactly sound like you want to enter the race, gavin newsom, gretchen whitmer, jared polis, peter budaj judge, you have not alluded to vice president harris, she certainly is a woman in next in line, do you want all of them to enter the race? >> jake, let me say this, like i said right now the only thing preventing three, four, five, eight of the names you mentioned appearing on the page making their case to democratic voters, the only thing preventing that is we have in common president who essentially within institution around him, the establishment protecting those interests, nobody is willing to step that might affect their future, that's why am the only one doing it, it's not about reelection, is what our country in the age of democracy and doing anything i possibly can to stop donald trump from returning to the white house. in 2016 i woke up the morning after the election, i saw fear in my daughter's eyes first time in my life i promised

fellow democrat marianne williamson was also in the hawkeye state to campaign. and a theory known as girl math is going viral on social media. the so called math is reimagining certain transactions including rules like anything under $5 is free, a return is actually a profit. i'm totally guilty of that. [laughter] rachel: and that all discounted items are free. the most popular one appears to be ladies defending pricey concert tickets for artists like taylor swift, claiming if you buy tickets far in advance it also counts as free. will: if you return something, you made money? rachel: i agree with that i buy a bunch of stuff and return some of it and i've got all this money free. joey: she can go to kohl's, she can leave with the stuff she got and kohl's cash, they give her money to shop there. she made money for being there. i don't know how accurate it is. that's how she presents it to me. if something is on sale, you get all of them. we didn't have to buy all of them. rachel: she's saving money. joey: that's what i hear. i don't have a clue. i don't know. rac

biden is far ahead of both of them, robert kennedy junior and marianne williamson.of all democrats polled said they would prefer someone new and that is leading to a new conversation. i want to play a clip from minnesota congressman dean phillips who said he himself is considering a run. >> my call is to those well-positioned, well-prepared, of good character and competency. they know who they are. to jump in because the crowds in the country need competition. >> if they don't, you will? >> i'm not saying i will but i think i am well-positioned, but i don't think i'm well-positioned to run right now. people who are think they should meet the moment. amna: do you agree? faiz: i don't mind primaries at all but i think they understand joe biden is a strong candidate right now, so dean phillips is assessing his own strength. president biden would be out there campaigning, doing press conferences and engaging with voters and we've largely seen the president behind a podium, delivering teleprompter remarks. what campaign does is cause you to engage with real people. i hop

he's not facing that big of a threat from marianne williamson and robert f. kennedy jr.o have that momentum going into the general election. at the same time, he needs to appeal to more moderate independent voters who will likely be voting or at least prioritizing their vote on the economy. he is stuck between a rock and a hard place right now in terms of prioritizing his messaging. his campaign seems confident in the fact that the more he does this tour, the more he stays laser focused on the issue of the economy and talking about the economy, that will eventually translate to voters. >> sandra: what do you think is going to be the appetite for this green energy of gender he's out there pushing? we have the automakers who have been trying to match the demand they said would be there and they're just not seeing it. you have seen ford and other companies reporting their sales are down, they are taking a hit because of the cv push. that's just not happening. what is the political price to him staying on this message when you still have got this disparity between the realit

>> i had the opportunity to see several people, mike pence, vivek ramaswamy and marianne williamson andmpressed me the most. >> brian: that's how are leaning towards because your main concern is? >> peace. freedom of speech. civil liberties. >> brian: he is definitely anti-ukraine war i know that tell me who you took in and who might have persuaded you? >> yes, brian. i saw vivek. he surprised me the most. i have raised three sons that are his age and he definitely surprised me the most. and i love his truths. beings it's exciting to know our country is led in the right direction with people like him around i'm open-minded. >> brian: that's great. now let's talk to you, kevin, what were you looking for in a candidate? did you walk into the fair undecided and did anything change? >> pretty open to any candidate that is really putting forth conservative values, family, home, life, protect guilty unborn. yeah. those are really essential. the economy. defense. but pence really stood out. the speech that we heard when he was heckled about how he conducted himself with the certification of th

in the high teens in terms of support, maybe the low teens according to some polls and marianne williamsonuble digits. they think there's no reason for him to debate. they believe he is the de facto nominee and he may well be, the only person that might take him out of the running are people like himself, as people like jason chaffetz think they might. >> sandra: and a gaffe in the room, crossed by, a reference to president harris in the dnc room. we'll try to get more information on that and bring that to our viewers. now this. >> john: and don't forget, right there on the form, the big picture of martha and bret as the debate gets underway tonight. 9:00 tonight on the fox news channel. right to griff jenkins who has some news for us. griff. >> hey, john. you can bet that crime, the issue of it, not just what we are watching in pittsburgh but the country, i suspect candidates will attack democratic-run cities like d.c., violent crime is up nearly 40% compared to last year. we spoke to d.c. voter and anti-crime advocate who explained to me why crime is her top issue this election cycle. ta

robert and marianne williamson in the race already paid we have colonel west running as a third-partyo see colonel west into the primary. if joe manchin wants to run, and to the primary. democrats do better when we have choices, freedom to choose. the data right now is making me very concerned. and i will wrap with this. i woke up the morning after the 2016 election, i was living a wonderful life. my daughter's, 16 and 18 at that time woke up and were in tears. i saw fear in their eyes for the first time. i promised them i would do something and i ran for congress. five years later i am not going to sit still and be quiet when we have the risk of him coming back and i want us to be best prepared. laura: on that note, your fellow democrats have argued that your efforts to seek out a primary challenger against president biden could actually weaken his reelection bid and could very well put former president trump back in the white house. so what do you say about their concerns about that? rep. phillips: that is just patently untrue. my call is for the president to pass the torch. i think

we have marianne williamson and robert kennedy junior, neither one of them is pulling anywhere near bidenl there be a primary -- polling anywhere near biden, but will there be a primary debate? guest 2: it doesn't seem there will be. for better or worse democrats seem to have decided that joe biden is there guy. that is typical for the incumbent president. it is fairly unusual to get a really fierce opponent for the incumbent president. whether or not this is a smart decision in the long-term not to have a competitive primary remains to be seen. the track record historically for a sitting incumbent getting a primary, in the past they have gone on to lose the general election. it is not in the president's best interest to do that. we are in an unusual situation where joe biden's numbers are low as our donald trump's -- as are donald trump's as the front runner. the republican primary it is a bit of a crapshoot who will win in the general election when you're -- are voters going to come out and support, trump and biden or will there be lower turnout because people are turned off by both can
