nikki haley: by winning. will tell you the first thing we need to do in terms of where china and russia is we -- let's take india, they have millions of people right now without electricity. they need clean, cheap electricity that they can start doing with their country. they have doubled the number of coal producing plants they have which is a problem and that is why we need to do more in america and we need to export as much liquefied natural gas as we can and india will be a friend of ours. india is worried about china and they gave themselves $1 billion stimulus to become less dependent on china and let's partner with them so not only are we exporting liquefied natural gas to europeans, let's do it to india. it is a win-win. let's share it and that is the goal and that is how we handle india come up with china, you beat them and what i saw with the u.s. -- united nations, there are two things are enemies never wanted us to have, they never wanted us to have a strong military and to be energy dependent. al

it is nikki haley runs 23 seconds. if not just let me know we'll move on, nikki haley she is talking about the border. >> first, defund sanctuary cities, you see what shaping in fill -- what is happening in philadelphia it has to stop, put 25 thousand more border patrol and i.c.e. agents on the job, let them do their job, they are not allowed do their job, let's go dpokb go back to remain in mexico policy. >> you go through the candidates, steve hilton, i thought tim scott started well, then he was not asked questions in middle and ron desantis did what he needed to do to keep moving forward. probably remain the number one candidate right now behind former president, then n nikki haley, a lot of people liked her performance and where she stands. >> i agree. and it since richarding on -- is interesting on questions like the border, there were not a lot of difference between candidates, take your point that ron desantis is point to fact he has done it he made a better job of dim strdemonstrates that tonight then the firs

and nikki haley a lot of people liked the performance of nikki haley and like where she stands. >> iee but it's interesting questions like the border, some economic questions there wasn't a lot of difference between the candidates, they articulated a similar position. ron desantis can point out he's actually done it and he made a much better job of demonstrating that tonight and conveying that he had actually done it than he did in the first debate. but on the actual question of who's going to deliver any of this, i think in the end it's not just what they say, the policy -- it's what they convey in terms of leadership. and i do think that, on that measure started off strongly. really degenerated, i think. and i think that insult started the drift away, actually quite a strong performance in the beginning. in the end she was scrapping with ten scott i felt she really didn't do herself any players and i think by the end to send you the. >> debate number three, ron desantis nikki haley will be the one everyone continues to be watching. i thought doug bur ham stood out for fresh perspec

. >> margaret, quite a moment there from nikki haley. she wasn't there for a lot of the beginning of the debate. but, man, she came out swinging at him. >> she found her moments. he really is sort of the perfect foil for her and she used these moments not just to bat him down but to be able to call out really her policy views on china and some of these other things. i couldn't help but think -- i wondered if donald trump had been on that stage whether she could have handled him that way or whether it only works with vivek ramaswamy. but i think she walked out of the night with a lot of breakthrough moments like that. the fact that donald trump's campaign put out a release attacking nikki haley's record ten minutes before the end of the debate tells us that they were sort of watching her as the person who has been advancing also. >> yeah, i'm really glad you mentioned that. it stuck out to me too. alice, to that point margaret was making -- sorry, alice, to margaret's point, nikki haley taking on potentially donald trump. still an open qu

>> i'm hoping nikki haley.nk she has the best chance in the general election, which is my goal is to get rid of biden. so i will vote for whoever i think has the best chance against him. i think if it's trump, which it probably will be, it will be a lot closer than if it's someone like nikki haley who is a little more moderate. when it comes to the general election, that's what is going to garner the most votes. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. this has been so great. thank nate doing an incredible job with us these past two weeks. >> steve: thanks to the people there at the copper door. lawrence, have one of those pink cocktails you were showing us earlier. [applause] >> see you all tomorrow. >> bill: good stuff. good morning, everybody. republicans about to hold their first hearing on the

nikki haley is right on the substance.ong on the style and otherwise she had a strong debate and i think she is betting that vivek ramaswamy's negatives are high enough in her attacking him will get more support from the moderate flank of the party that is really her bread-and-butter that's her only path to a 3 - 11th place in south carolina victory. >> they want this group to get smaller, she wants to consolidate she wants to be there and she's trying to knock out vivek ramaswamy and chris christie and burgum. >> it's now or never if she does not make it now the worst thing that happened she's kicked off the stage and inevitably if donald trump is the nominee you go to him, no one else on the stage is going to make if they don't start drawing blood. >> when it comes to nikki haley this is to debates in a row where nobody has come after her. kudos to her she dodged the bullet in some way. her one comment every time i hear you i feel a little bit dumber to vivek ramaswamy, no one on the stage believes and what they're sayin

haley hit on him for several things, nikki haley hit on him for severalthings, it nikki haley hit onubstantial answers, not just bickering. substantial answers, not “ust bickeringfi substantial answers, not “ust bickerinu. ~ . . bickering. matthew, what were our hi . h bickering. matthew, what were your high and _ bickering. matthew, what were your high and low— bickering. matthew, what were your high and low points, - your high and low points, what do you think will happen next? certainly, it's unlikely the debate will change this race, you saw the candidate have discussions among themselves the candidate missing from the stage was donald trump he will remain likely front runner of the race the heels of tonight �*s debate, ultimately the watch for here is what candidates remain in the race, you will see the field window a bit and lower, we have seen some candidates such as governor hutchison stepped out of the race, in the in these candidates are notjust trying to win over new voters and keep the base of support they are trying to appeal to donors because it is not an inexpensive jou

and it's where nikki haley goes after -- and tim scott both go after vivek ramaswamy.t's been revealed this week that apparently vivek once upon a time, not that far ago, actually, did business in china and, in fact, was involved in the same family that paid hunter biden millions of dollars. anyway, haley and scott went after him on that and this is how that went. >> every time i hear you i feel a little bit dumber for what you say. because i can't believe. tiktok situation. what they're doing -- 150 million people are on tiktok. that means they can get your contacts, they can get your financial information. they can get your emails. they can get text messages. they can get all of these things. china knows exactly what they're doing. >> party and i'm going to say it. >> made in china not america. >> excuse me. >> wanting kids to get on social media that's dangerous for all of us. in business with the chinese that gave hunter biden $5 million. we can't trust you. >> i can't imagine how you can say that knowing that you were just in business with the chinese communist pa

while most seem to be in favor of it, nikki haley said she thought it was a big mistake. >> nikki haleyet a bit of a bump after the last debate, but otherwise, very little movement the field. we are approaching a big fundraising deadline. >> that is why desperation will set in. there is a big fundraising deadline, october 1 is the end of the third quarter. those numbers will come out next month and we will see if any of these candidates have been able to keep raising money, have any stumble? some may be made a big splash early on but what about sustaining that? call numbers are the big indication of whether a campaign is successful. you can sag in the polls, but if you run in the -- run out of money, you cannot keep campaigning. >> at the last debate, candidates spoke around donald honked. he was not mentioned. we expect to see that again tonight? >> they have to decide what they want. do they really want to try to win this? or are they positioning for book contracts, speaking fees, a presidential bid a few years down the line or a vice presidential bid? if they want to win this, they w

nikki haley in the first debate. yes, sort of differentiated herself a little bit with her, you know, sort of more centrist thoughts on abortion, for instance, and yes, some people say nikki haley might. >> the more able to beat president biden than trump. where do you think that? >> that balancing act is for, you know, the republican party as a whole in terms of who their nominee is versus who can be bite. well, that's that's that's the entire purpose, i think. and what you see about this debate is that there is whether or not >> they can successfully wrestled the soul of what use to be the grand old party. the party of reagan away from donald trump. and again, that's why there's a lot of significance to the fact at the reagan library and you're going to see a lot of references to ronald reagan tonight as people are going to try you recapture that magic magic. nikki haley did a good job of it at the first tim scott at everyone thought he had momentum going into that debate and it kind of fizzled away. chris christie

let's talk about governor nikki haley.her plan to get rid much the gas and oil tax. >> taxes we're overtaxed as a nation there is no doubt about that. becomes counter productive at some point. also, of course, these are the things that hurt poorer people the most. right? it's not an elegant solution at all. i like where she is going with this. we are talking about the entire economic quagmire that most people watching this show are dealing with. they only mitt it on the periphery. at the end ron desantis got really close there should be a greater focus on how bidenomics has made america miserable. why that schocking poll by "the washington post," abc/"the washington post" has him down so much against former president trump. if you go to the part specifically when they ask about economics, financial. it is an absolute massacre. >> brian: only 23% approve of his economic policies and they are jamming it down our throats. >> charles: what did he do? there has always been this belief on the left that we as human beings and as

nikki haley is a lot closer to the gop establishment. the donor base on issues of regarding ukraine and the immigration system is broken. all that kind of lingo and you have desantis, who's much more in the populist strain of donald and probably the person if trump ends up being the nominee the likely person to pick it, pick up the torch after trump. so a debate, those two maybe without a moderator, unless the i think would be fascinating for the american people because all those big issues in this debate, nikki haley on your show. >> i got it. i have a little back now. you see what i'm saying? i'm just saying how about you see you see what i'm saying about this, though? is it? i understand. that's it. that's the struggle inside the party, the populist part. the party is much bigger as 80, 84% of the party versus, what, 26% of the party or percent of the party, depending on what polls you look at. so i think would be interesting. but i agree. i don't think anyone had like a sarcasm moment. i know vivek is coming up. he's a very smart guy

some of the big names from the last debate ob there including ron desantis, nikki haley, mike pence. we can expect to see round two of this, but what i am really looking out for is to see how ron desantis in particular is able to stick out on stage. n milwaukee, we were also not predicting him to be enemy or target number one for the rest of the republicans on the stage but that did not happen. instead, it seemed like ramaswamy was target >> i think desantis sort of interjected when he could and had a few strong moments, but for desantis, this is a big moment for him. we are seeing increasingly more speculation about his campaign and what is going to happen going forward. we see it has not really gained traction in the national polls and even in new hampshire. it was a cnn and university of the hector paul that showed him slipping -- new hampshire poll that showed him slipping behind nikki haley and ramaswamy. this is a big moment for him nationally. his campaign put a lot of stock into iowa. that is the number one priority. they think that will propel them to the finish, but we will

>> nikki haley is telling the truth.hat sees the -- mitch mcconnell who basically passes out, anybody who sees joe biden who can't read a thank you note from a teleprompter, there should be an age limit, term limits in congress which she is all for. she will also support a cognitive test which if you give it to most of them a lot of the members of the senate couldn't pass it. but for the leader of the free world to be in the condition he is in and for the leader of the senate, it is a problem with a lot of senators and she is telling the truth. is it mean? i will tell you this. what joe biden is doing to the country is more than mean. it is unamerican. she'll call it out like she sees it and that is what the american people like about nikki haley. she is not going to mince words >> i wonder, congressman. do you think then that mitch mcconnell should step aside? >> mitch mcconnell has got health issues, a big job. that goes to show you have to have some limit. pilots have an age limit of 65 particularly in today's world t

you will see nikki haley as she has always done.h her when she beat a 30 year incumbent in her state house race in 2005 for governor. she was pulling two or 3%. no one knew her. when she hits the ground, when she talked to people, when she relates her message, that's when she shines. she's going to do the same thing here. >> but is she going to have to take on, address the front runner in the republican field? you know, aggressively here. to show voters that she has an argument against trump himself? >> look, she enjoys competition. she doesn't ask who's and the race. she will compete. she'll do whatever it takes to showcase her beliefs, showcase her vision for the future, and you will see a nikki haley who is like no other candidate that i've ever seen, to be honest with you. so we look on it as competition and she has fared pretty well in every race. she has never lost a race. she's not going to lose this one. >> so haley says she's confident americans won't vote for a convicted felon. she's talking about trump here. but she recen

if nikki comes in fourth in iowa thatis if nikki comes in fourth in iowa that is not very good, if sheeal, so we continue to watch those two states, i hate to say it, more than my own state. ' . , ., , state. the difficulty for these candidates — state. the difficulty for these candidates is _ state. the difficulty for these candidates is that _ state. the difficulty for these candidates is that there - state. the difficulty for these candidates is that there is . state. the difficulty for these candidates is that there is no i state. the difficulty for these - candidates is that there is no one to swing at because donald trump is not on the stage, he won't be at the second debate on the third debate, which is a shame because actually on policy issues, rather than character, they are starting to unpick some things, particularly comes to abortion. i unpick some things, particularly comes to abortion.— unpick some things, particularly comes to abortion. i mean, donald trum is comes to abortion. i mean, donald trump is in — comes to abortion. i mean, donald trump is in the _ comes to abor

i think nikki haley cained the polls. i think nikki haley gained some _ the polls.ikki haley gained some ground in - the polls. i think nikki haley gained some ground in the l the polls. i think nikki haley i gained some ground in the last debate and maybe not ron desantis but he's come up a bit more. the numbers of very hard to read in a meaningful way as having any longer term significance, for the reason you say, which is donald trump is so far in front at the moment. by having him not on the stage, the debates people are speaking over, it's quite hard to listen to if you're used to measured analysis but they are talking about things that would be a very different stage of donald trump was there. but we all know, today these candidates are really at some level competing for two things. one is they are competing to be number two, in case donald trump drops out or is looking for a vp or whatever it might be. but they are also trying to shift the debate, either intentionally or unintentionally. the more people come out, they are talking about the issues. it changes

i'm really appreciating the nikki haley thing because of references to past lives. but the idea of ramaswamy going back and forth, there is there is a shift in the tone. where does this leave him at this point? >> i think there are a few things going on. first off, if you noticed, and as i said, a lot of folks were attacking vivek ramaswamy and it seems to have made an impact. it wasn't just last night. it was in the lead-up to last night. before the first debate we saw ramaswamy seem to have some momentum in the polls. he was up to 9%. he started at 0%. look where he now. 5%. it seems to me that a lot of republicans are recognizing how to attack vivek ramaswamy. you heard in that clip about tiktok. do republicans think that tiktok is a threat to america's national security? look at this. 70% of republicans say, yes, it is. so i think there is going to be more attacks on ramaswamy going forward if they believe he is a threat between trump and those other candidates. >> it's problematic for your dance career on tiktok, as well. >> i mean, you know, that's why i'll st

but they also love nikki haley and nikki haley's performance on the debate stage was just hands downreat. ramaswamy is now at 5% in south carolina. he was at 3%. and pence is staying steady at 4%. >> brian: the thing with desantis in south carolina he has no shot. trump is real popular, especially with the governor. former governor in senator tim scott. >> lawrence: as we continue to follow, this there is still no comparison to donald trump. it's something that i have said from the very beginning. you go to every single diner across this country, he still has unmovable base. and when you have the prosecution of him and then you have the vindication of his signature issue, which is the border that's out of control right now, you have the economy that is hitting folks and it was good. >> brian: there other issue. >> lawrence: trump years. it's just not what these candidates expected. i mean, ron desantis still doesn't have that connection on the day-to-day basis with all of america. he has done a great job in florida. has great connection with the people, but a lot of voters are saying

you mention nikki haley, but another _ party. you mention nikki haley, but another one _ party.party. you mention nikki haley, but another one who emerged l but another one who emerged stronger is mr rahmon swanny. they both ascended in the polls. 0f they both ascended in the polls. of those two of the names to watch out for as we go ahead? , ., , ,., , ., ahead? they absolutely are. in terms of how _ ahead? they absolutely are. in terms of how they _ ahead? they absolutely are. in terms of how they will - ahead? they absolutely are. in terms of how they will be - terms of how they will be situated on this stage, in the middle of the stage will have ron desantis as the person poling the best and then you will have a vivek ramaswamy next to him and nikki haley because of her improvement will because of her improvement will be on the other side of ron desantis. the three of them, expense, will try to keep the focus on each other and to use each other as foils and keep the intensity there because everybody wants to emerge from this debate with some sort of viral moment, some sort o

and, worst -- how is nikki kayleigh nikki haley capable of saying that?de a comment a few days ago saying that the senate is a nursing home for privileged people, which is a really mean thing to say. i just think it is really sad that cruelty has become currency in our political landscape. right? those are both kind of mean things to say. what is the point of that? >> it is a good question. look, you wrote this really fascinating piece that i mentioned earlier, about senator dianne feinstein, whose hail hail challenges have really been out in the public. she has had these moments after an illness where she seemed confused and disoriented in the senate. people are actively asking her to leave her office. but what should families do when perhaps there is evidence of serious health decline? or their loved one is in a position of power? >> you know, it's really complicated. and that's why i wanted to write this piece. because losing someone to cognitive impairment, no matter what the cause of it, whether it is dementia or in encephalitis or a brain injury --

nikki haley point to wmur poll, shows nikki haley second.ox business poll has nikki haley in third, used to be where tim scott was. continue the momentum. >> this is her time. she did a good job. she has -- she delivered, last time i will underestimate her, her ability to go from governor to that snake pit and reign it in is experience. when we talk about age, the issue is you can be younger, be nikki haley, have a certain experience, not about talking points, certain points can be mimicked and you can sound familiar, like a different language to people watching. nikki haley is moving up because we know she knows about policy, she talked about policy, she's willing to call somebody out about having no experience and the value of that experience. being governor is not like being president, as ron desantis is finding, even campaigning is different. everyone knows this now, who will put it to work? nikki haley has experience, has been through it, was with trump when it was hot, not dismissing him. >> harris: interesting point, too, with trump w

nikki: you saw the chinese high-fiving after that. they're not buying up farmland because they want the land but they're food insecure. they want to figure out what you're doing and they want to steal the technology and steal the seeds and make sure they slowly creep in and take away your farms so that we would be food insecure dependent on them. that can never happen. the way we do it is instead of them having 400,000 acres of farmland, we shouldn't sell them one more part of it but we should take back everything that they bought. you feel it. the chinese bought the largest port producer in the country with smithfield. we never should have allowed that to happen but we better start paying attention because they're not just doing that here, they're doing it everywhere. and for biden and company, all his cabinet members. and we saw four of them. the more china would beat us up, the more a cabinet member would go and appease them. they'll talk to them about climate change and tell them -- we saw janet yellen or one of them say we're com

nikki haley, seems like pre-2016 cabinet candidate.i think base republicans are looking at nikki haley and looking at both parties, we have a war party, they are democrats. i think republicans want to remake their party as party that puts america first, tries to stay out of war and problems. that is how i feel. i'm a recovered republican who thought i was down with the iraq war, i got lied to. i said i will never do that again. look at the afghanistan war, i'm disgusted by what happened and lives that were lost there, i don't want any more of this. she is a nice lady, classic neo-concandidate and i think the party is not there. look at top three candidates, vivek ramaswamy, america first candidate, vivek ramaswamy, trump, desantis, he is waffly on it, too, he is not in hard core neo-concategory like nikki haley. >> emily: 67% want a different democratic candidate in 2024. this was the democratic poll. talking about it earlier and you said anybody, but biden. this has significant impact on potentially now nikki haley's emergence or surg

haley, who my mother, — desantis, nikki haley, who my mother, if— desantis, nikki haley, who my motherf they remain splintered, donald trump remained the dominant candidate and will undoubtedly be the candidate next year on the republican side for president stop at a quick— republican side for president stop at a quick one, justine — for moderate _ at a quick one, justine — for moderate republicans for one policy, this is— moderate republicans for one policy, this is where you test policy, in a form like this. it is hugely frustrating because all you hear from donald trump at the moment is the biting crime family, retribution, vengeful disc, taking on the media, trying the chair of thejoint chiefs for on the media, trying the chair of the joint chiefs for treason —— biden crime family. it is not construction, and after the primary season, does that win a general election? .,. , season, does that win a general election? .. , ., ., season, does that win a general election? , ,, election? exactly. it looks like he is robbin: election? exactly. it looks like he is robbing to _ election? ex

at home. >> same, nikki haley. >> in that moment, nikki haley was my spokesperson. >> so vivek ramaswamygo, he is now with the target. to me this is a sign that desantis is on his way down, vivek ramaswamy is on his way up a bit. this is an alternative debate given trump is so far ahead. but claire, what did you make of all the attacks of vivek? >> he is just a jerk. he is a kind of candidate, i know i have said it in rooms with consultants, and people trying to help me on campaigns, mansplainer's? >> frankly it is irritating when women are told about having to be likable. but everybody needs to realize that goes for everybody. it is not a woman man thing. if you are not likable as a candidate, you will not get elected too much. and so, he is just very arrogant, and full of himself, and i think they wanted to bring him down because they saw how he paved in the last debate. so i thought it was hysterical when he said we need to show respect for our fellow candidates. i'm not hurling personal insults. i'm going top cuddle. this is a guy who just hijacked the first debate. i think they all

they have forgotten what nikki haley gave to boeing. a time we need to shrink the government, desantis did shrink big sugar and disney, and now he's going after nikki haley. we're out of time, but i want your final thoughts that trump has got this widely. >> you know, first of all, i'd like to respond to ken for a quick second. if we're talking about someone who has actually made a promise to rein in spending, cut the debt that we have, institute for legislative analysis found that nikki haley was the candidate out of all the candidates on the ballot right now, who is going to keep her promise. that's first of all. second of all, we're talking about raising the debt. ron desantis voted in congress to increase spending. that's number one. number two, if you look at florida's budget. he has-- we've seen florida's budget increase from 89 billion dollars when he stepped foot into office, to now $119 billion. the fact of the matter is, ron desantis came into the race with very, very high hopes and he has dropped dramatically to the point whe

nikki haley has been a successful un ambassador and governor.her to tell us what of the solutions. how do we get our economy back on track and how do we balance the budget. we are at a physical crisis but from ohio, very excited to see them on the debate stage but an i know he has that young voters than people find him very intelligible what we talking about here. talk about the economy and tell me how we are going to go from paycheck to paycheck and living the american dream. tell me how that is possible. there's a lot of topics that they need to discuss. >> and i want to know from you, is this a make or break for any of the six candidates. do you think you become lose a couple left at this. >> i think as we inched closer to iowa in mid-january, i think those that are not supportive o president trump have to rally behind another candidate becaus the reality is, the more the field is crowded, the harder it is for them to be able to inch closer to the president. so i think we are going to see as time goes on that the field is going to get smaller

and so you take answers like that -- and youch heard nikki haley, she said on the debate stage.nswers or non-answers are going to be used by republicans to bolster that argument. >> to that point, though, what's interesting is this is delicate -- this is certainly an issue inside the republican primary and party, it's delicate inside the democrat party, too. democrats had legislation that went further than codifying roe versus wade that the white house got behind. i don't think the president was very comfortable with that. they have since moved that back. which is where you saw the vice president right now. this is considered an electoral winner for democrats. there's no ifs, ands and butts about it. does it say that way? >> yeah. i think it likely will. you'll see candidates like nikki haley positioning themselves moderates on most issues will be appealing to independents and even some democrats that don't want to vote for biden but don't want to vote for an extreme republican candidate that will take a very radical position on abortion. that's why we're seeing nikki haley doin

you saw towards the end of the debate, nikki haley was getting — of the debate, nikki haley was gettingver a really odd topic — over curtains _ over a really odd topic — over curtains in _ over a really odd topic — over curtains in the residence of the — curtains in the residence of the un _ curtains in the residence of the un ambassador when she was serving _ the un ambassador when she was serving as— the un ambassador when she was serving as un ambassador to the un. serving as un ambassador to the un and — serving as un ambassador to the un. and so, ithink serving as un ambassador to the un. and so, i think what err' seeing— un. and so, i think what err' seeing as— un. and so, i think what err' seeing as the other panellists allowed — seeing as the other panellists allowed to is a lot of the candidates are trying to claw their— candidates are trying to claw their way and get within striking distance of trump. the debate — striking distance of trump. the debate stage provides the best opportunity to do that. but in reality. — opportunity to do that. but in reality, the gop voters that

nikki haley is intentionally not doing that i think voters appreciate it. >> nikki haley surging wasn't challenged everyone came on with ammo against vivek, only vivek. maria: mike pence did that again. mark: i would expect next debate candidates are coming armed with ammo against her one thing running on fiscal discipline look at governors up on that sustainable during first debate nobody grew the size of their state government more than inform inform. so i would expect glowing to come armed with that information going to dispute some things she is running on. maria: what do you think. >> look, i think everybody gets a one debate thumb, i think rams rms has one debate thumb the question will nikki haley get a second bump start to break out here. you know i did analysis of republican primary electorate 51% according to "the wall street journal" poll suburban voters half are women, in 23 states independents vote why nominees people like romney mccain weren't -- and trump used to be outsiders he is insider very conservative now i think much more interesting race than people think. maria:

nikki, thank you. say it with us here on bbc _ tracks. nikki, thank you.en bringing strong winds down towards greece. west of spain and portugal, that combination is drawing in this warm southerly winds. so high—pressure it sits to the east, southerly winds bringing the east, southerly winds bringing the heat and humidity. an overnight we could see a few rumbles of thunder �*s, wills, southwest england, and in the east a bit of cloud that's going to be drifting its way on shore. thursday morning its way on shore. thursday morning it is going to be a really sticky humid feeling night, low around 20 degrees in the southwest. so tomorrow then we've got a threat of one or two isolated showers, around pembrokeshire, up towards northern ireland for instance, cloud and fog around eastern england... above average mid to high �*s 20s with 30 degrees for london in the southeast on thursday, we do it all again for friday, a bit of low cloud that lingers in the east but slowly it clears. a threat of it, few more showers around this irish seacoast but in between blue s

nikki haley has been on the rise somewhat. the florida governor has high stakes here in terms of trying to hold his position as the leading alternative, if you will. and former vice president mike pence clearly is on the end of the stage this time, still also trying to make his point as well and stay in this contest. asa hutchinson is not on the stage tonight, seven are. the next debate will not be until november. so this could be one of the biggest opportunities for all of these candidates to break through. >> jeff, i know you remember the last time i believe there was a republican debate at the reagan library was 2015. i got to moderate it for cnn. i talked about reagan quite a bit. it was 2015, the republican party was very different than what it is today. how much is former president reagan's legacy factoring into tonight, if at all? >> reporter: jake, it's extraordinary to think of the changes in just eight short years. we do all remember that debate and the reagan legacy was front and center. donald trump was just beginn

i wouldn't count nikki haley out from winning.lso wouldn't count ron desantis out. >> even though the polls -- >> he's about to get a big endorsement in iowa that will resuscitate his campaign. i think he has a lot of charisma too. >> you do? >> yeah. you don't get to be governor of florida twice out it. the cnn poll is good for ron desantis, that donald trump a political loser and he can't win against joe biden. >> your polls are showing you would be unhappy with any other republican candidate. it also showed that they would be unhappy with any republican ca candidate. >> another thing in the poll, with biden in the last election and the dnc trying to change the position in new hampshire, i'm sure you like these numbers better than the last time he ran in new hampshire. voters in new hampshire will window shop until the last minute. they'll continue to change their mind and pick different candidates and that bodes well for all the candidates. i suspect these numbers to change dramatically with a supposed head to head with biden a

i think nikki haley helped herself a little bit more in this debate than any of the other candidates.>> she seemed a little more serious, interestingly enough, she went after vivek ramaswamy and said she's dumber for the experience. she actually made a glowing comment about him when she endorsed his book not that long ago. the reality is she has essentially tried to distance herself from ramaswamy and even tim scott who she elevated to the senate seat, but has created that distance! she criticized him not getting anything done in congress. >> chris christie tries to portray himself as that republican who could win in a blue state, and those lines of attack against donald trump are i think resonate with some voters, but the reality is the entire debate stage, it seems like it's too little too late. they have not heretofor attacked donald trump in the way they would have wanted to. for anybody going to the polls, if you're going to vote for the copy, just go vote for the original, which is donald trump number one. and number two if you're a democrat, trumpism's still on the ballot. >> y

coming up in just moments governor ron desantis, nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy, mike pence senator timcott will join us right here on set. by the way someone you might not expect to see at a republican debate, california governor gavin newsom will join us. i have to ask him, i came to the state first thing i see is $7 a gallon for gasoline. we have a question, too, though to ask him but they do have in and out burger. at first sparks were flying at tonight's debate as all seven candidates easily demonstrated the ability to run circles around joe biden, we can start with that point. we'll get laura ingraham's take in just a minute. but first here with reaction in the spin room fox news contributor kellyanne conway and fox business host larry kudlow. good to see you both. headlines you run away with. >> anybody on that stage do a better job than joe biden and kamala harris, i think donald trump is a little bit of a winner tonight because when his name was invoked he kept saying he should be here to defend his record and debate and face the people. why would you want him there when he's g

all the others not nikki haley. she beats him. haley has argued that a vote for biden would be a vote for vice president kamala harris. do you not acknowledge that the perception of his frailty, perceived frailty, is hurting his campaign, is hurting his re-election chances? >> well, first, jake, i'm glad you started with nikki haley and her position on abortion because i'll tell you that if you look at the vote in ohio just a month ago, a swing state, they soundly rejected the extreme positions on abortion, and that's nikki haley. now, about the president's age. you're going to -- voters will see his vigor. voters will see his accomplishments. if you just look at his schedule. he's traveling around the world over the next 4 1/2 days to continue to show american leadership on the world stage. so when they compare president biden's travel to that of republicans, even republicans that are running for president, he's traveling almost 30% more than they are. but more importantly, this is about american families. and i think american fa

nikki haley is banded around as _ far? nikki haley is banded around as some _ far?round as some of - far? nikki haley is banded around as some of the - far? nikki haley is banded i around as some of the better performers. and for ronald reagan, foreign policy was very important. he wanted to achieve peace through strength and that america had a responsibility to be a strong country around the world, a superpower and to engage and we have seen those policies of the republican party dramatically drawn back under the presidency of donald trump so nikki haley and mike pence to an extent tried to redraw that. he is seen as a high point in the republican history, ronald reagan. ron desantis also had a change in strategy, engaging early on about the fact donald trump was not here. and that perhaps people would not have known his achievements in florida as governor of florida. five of the seven people on this stage are all make were governor so people pointing back to that track records and achievements they have had in the past as a indication being tilted future performan

i don't always get that right. >> it's nikki.ing moment and i asked vivek the moment you had with him. every time i hear you, i feel dumber. we can't trust you, vivek. wow. that was a pretty powerful shot. why? >> because you look at the fact that he was in business with a chinese company to make chinese medicines. not with a american company to make american medicines but a chinese company to make chinese medicines and look at the family he was doing business w and he turns around and is in business with the family that gave hunter biden $5 million. then he wants to suddenly go and promote tiktok, i don't trust it. i don't trust it. every little bit about him -- sean: i don't trust it either. >> all of this with chinese communist party relate sod how do we trust it and suddenly decides not to be in business the second before he decides to run for president? it smells bad. i don't appreciate it and evansville with got a country to civil i don't trust it. sean: this president lies and says the border is closed and the border is se

next, governor nikki haley will be sitting next to me in simi valley, california.this is spring semester at over 13,000 us school districts, which have become top targets for ransomware attacks. but there's never been a reported ransomware attack on a chromebook. which is why thousands of schools like the fairfield-suisun unified school district switched to google tools for education. so they can focus on teaching and 22,000 students can focus on learning, knowing that their data is secure. ( ♪ ) stuart: we've got green on the screen, down those drills up 40, nasdaq down 14, s&p up 3, not much price change. i think carmax is down 10%. tell me why. >> slow demand for the used cars that it sells, same-store sales down 9% versus last year so overall disappointing earnings report and they say they are monitoring the uaw strike pretty closely. take a look at workday, human work source, down 10%, they lowered their subscription revenue growth target for the next three years. we've got a winner big time, chico's, the women's retailer is getting 62%, sycamore partners is t

haley i think that nikki haley does present, a very different set of challenges for the biden-harrishan say donald trump or ron desantis. cheryl: ing this, to figure that out, chris i want to move back over to the republican side competition, between the republican candidates all out on to airwaves, wanting to get their message across listen to what three have come on our air said last 24 hours. >> to in 2016, donald trump never led in one national poll. in general election, until election night, the reason for that because we don't elect presidents nationally we elect state-by-state by tolerate. >> whether former president or whether voefk i think parrots a great amount of ideas, others in this race, i think there is a conflict here when donald trump ran for president in 2016 promises to govern as conservative many saw his selection running mate affirmation. >> i'm not speaking through a political filter take filter off doing same thing second debate stage as well, i think good for our country i think healthy our party has vigorous debate on domestic and foreign policy. cheryl: chri

today" over the weekend, they said this about nikki haley.ey's thoughtful answers about abortion, national debt shows she can do the country's top job. if republicans are smart enough to choose someone with broad,a peel like nikki haley to run against job, they could win back the white house. larry, looking to tomorrow night's debate, she had a good debate last time, all eyes on her, particularly since donald trump is not showing again. >> there is seven of them, i don't want to pick winners and losers, i'm doing pre-debate thing from out there. and various segmentes. it should be a good debate. it is important these candidates have positive, constructive solutions for the border, for the economy, for biden-flation and real wages, talking about the uaw and climate change. they have to try to show the public what the republican party stands for. there has to be optimistic vision. there has to be a vision of growth and prosperity. we have not grown the economy in sufficiently in many years. inflation continues to outstrip wages, one reason the

>> i'm hoping nikki haley. i think she has the best chance in the general election, which is my goal is to get rid of biden. so i will vote for whoever i think has the best chance against him. i think if it's trump, which it probably will be, it will be a lot closer than if it's someone like nikki haley who is a little more moderate. when it comes to the general election, that's what is going to garner the most votes. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. this has been so great. thank nate doing an incredible job with us these past two weeks. >> steve: thanks to the people there at the copper door. lawrence, have one of those pink cocktails you were showing us earlier. [applause] >> see you all tomorrow. >> bill: good stuff. good morning, everybody. republicans about to hold their first hearing on the impeachment inquiry into president biden. this is the investigative aspect of this hearing. it begins with evidence and emails and bank records and it starts at the top of the next hour. republicans claim it sho

first of all, i was born with nikki on my birth certificate, raised as nikki, i married a haley and so that is what my name is. so he can say or misspell or do whatever he wants but he can't step away from the fact that look, he's the one that said he was going to abandon israel. those were his words. now he's wanting to walk it back and the reality is you have to understand the importance of our allies and those relationships. we can never be so narcissitic to say we don't need friends. you can tell what kind of leader they would be based on how they run their campaign, he's doing it on his own. >> sandra: is it true to say you are walking back some claims and walking back -- >> not at all. not at all. i've stood firmly for advancing american interests. i've been very clear that our relationship with israel by the end of my first term will be stronger than it has ever been because i will treat it as a true friendship. not a transactional relationship. i don't talk in the way standard gop talking points advise you to speak but speaking with authenticity. take the abraham accords to the

. >> nikki offered a 10% tax gas increase in south carolina. as the u.n. ambassador, you literally -- >> bring it. >> $50,000 on curtains at as $15 million subsidized location. >> you got bad information. first of all, i fought the gas tax in south carolina maultiple times. do your homework, obama bought the curtains. it's in the -- it's the state department. >> did you send them back? >> did you? you work in congress. >> you hung them, they're your curtains. >> they were there before i ever showed up at the residence. you are scrapping. >> reporter: so after all that yelling at the debate what you did not hear, though, is anyone saying that they were going to take the foot off the gas. didn't hear anyone say they were stepping off the campaign trail. many heading south where i'm standing to orange county. ramaswamy, scott, and desantis all going to show up in orange county for the california republican party convention. the biggest name that will show up for that event, phil and poppy -- donald trump. >> hmm. thank you for the reporting. quite a night. >>

maybe it is nikki haley.etaphor for the whole deal, which is, while you have a former president of the united states, guy who is beating everyone on the stage by 30 points, calling for the execution of the chairman of the joint chiefs, a guy who led an attempted coup against the united states government, a guy with 91 felony charges against him, they're arguing about the curtains in the state department under the last administration. >> now, that same guy that you're talking about is a legally proven thief, you know, here in new york state, manhattan. the odd thing about last night, and there were many, many odd elements last night, but you're thinking about people watching, the few people who were probably watching around the country. could anyone pick out someone on that stage and say, "yeah, i could see that person as president of the united states?" arguably, maybe chris christie. other than that, no one. >> a lot of republicans would say nikki haley. >> yeah. >> i think haley had a few good moments. she
