nikki haley was my governor. mike pence and i go back 12 years.ave a favorite dog in the fight. i think it would be healthy for the party to have really good candidates running against trump in 2024. >> let me bring us back to the hearings briefly. we talked about cipollone, obviously who is scheduled to testify. the person that we are still waiting on is mark meadows, who is, of course, your former colleague in the house of representatives. the freedom caucus, of course, a place where you two interacted regularly. do you trust mark meadows to tell the truth? >> if mark meadows put his hand on a bible and said he was going to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, i would be inclined to believe that. i don't think he's the most credible person of all the witnesses. you asked a fair question a few minutes ago, which is if cipollone says x and hutchinson says y. mark seems to have gone through a very dark period. he was apparently, according to cassidy, detached from the job. i don't know if he was having some sort of event wher

rumblings about mike pence running against donald trump, mike pompeo, ron desantis, tim scott, nikki haleye conversations i don't think you would have had six or eight weeks ago before the hearings started. >> interesting. tim, do you buy it? >> on the one level, i kind of buy it. we do focus groups with trump voters, and it is true in the last month or so you've heard from republican voters who like thinking, maybe the drama is too much. it's time to move on. the problem is we've all been through this before. in order to kill the monster, you have to go at him and put a stake through his heart. and none of the republicans are willing to do it. i feel like i'm going through the same thing i went through in 2016 when we tried to stop trump with a conservatives against trump path. look at pence. he won't testify to this committee. mike pence is the one who could reveal just how derelict trump was that day. ron desantis says he wants to challenge trump, but all he ever does is talk about how great donald trump is when asked. i'm skeptical that the people in the game -- mick mulvaney is out of

i think there are other people -- tim scott i'm fond of as well and nikki haley and others.ield and any of them would be a better choice. a lot of republicans in their hearts know that. i think that's why donald trump is considering launching his re-election campaign right now because that fire is starting to build a little bit and he wants to tamp it out. >> i think a lot are looking past the governorship race. >> you do not need $111 million to get elected in florida. >> that would go a long way in montana. >> much further in montana. why aren't democrats capitalizing on this gigantic mess the republicans have because the biden administration is having trouble. >> i think the republican party -- we often say when the democrats get together, we organize the firing squad in a circle. it's nice to see the republicans finally doing that as well. and there will be the opportunity to stay in flow. i'll say it's interesting that you can look at senator scott. like i said, he hasn't watched the hearings. nikki haley -- >> the republican trump era is still there. >> so, it's still

you decided not to run, i think you're going to see a lot of people put their hats and you know nikki haley rhonda santos is a favorite, but i think also some unexpected people to chris christie, perhaps or even larry hogan. governor of maryland. greg abbott has also been mentioned. and who knows we could see rand paul and ted cruz as well. some people are concerned about trump's impact on american politics rather than bringing people together. he's you know, caused disruption, i think, but u. c. berkeley political science professor henry brady says trump does have some disadvantages. trump and biden will be old men. ah and i say that as a fairly old person myself, and i think that there's going to be real questions about age. real questions about age. um and i think second of all that's going to be real questions about donald trump and his fitness for office so we could see a an interesting thing to presidents nevertheless, having people running against them and trying to displace them as the nominee of the party, mama ktvu, fox two news a government watchdog says u s secret service agents

tom: nikki haley -- and i don't want to get into inflation mathematics. not going to go in it, but they completely screwed up the mathematics. the mathematics of your view of the administration's these are all teensy weensy little things. what can he do substantial to get away fromteensy weensy additive changes? joe: if i had the answer to that, i would probably be working for him. tom: maybe you will be. it is a sweaty, hot july. matt miller says everything is fungible. is the staff at the white house fungible? joe: maybe after november. i don't think this is a white house that has the silver bullet that you are asking for, as much as joe biden once it -- wants it. the hope is you can create a composite effect with these smaller moves to actually have an impact on inflation. bloomberg has very smart people when it comes to economics. you know if we start talking about an actual recession, that may be the only thing close to a silver bullet. jonathan: great to catch up as always. we need to talk about this affects market. 120 on cable, sterling, 119.93. e

what you are seeing in mike pence's, chris, not much different in messaging, from ron desantis, nikki haleyhers, which is the hud donald trump tightly, to hug maga tightly, to hug the agenda tightly, but to say, let's look forward. let's look past the 2016 and 2020 elections. donald trump is going that way, we want to take you to the next chapter. look, it's a tight rope, he is walking, with mike pence, though it is filled with irony. to your point, donald trump knew that mike pence's life was in danger, donald trump said, let's reduce security, not increase it. that is fairly emasculating for the platform for a potential presidential bid by mike pence. >> yeah, i mean he sent an armed mob up to the building that he wants it you know, to go try to pressure the guy. possibly to injure him. he painted a target on its back. it's what's he did was vile. and i guess, the willful -- conditions this is just so embedded in the function of all of these people, that they're just gonna go do it. but it also seems like, it's a little like, what are you gonna do when he tells you to your face on a debat

what i'm interested in, don, is whether ron desantis, nikki haley, some of the others, are going to gofar as what cheney is doing. i doubt that they will. at some juncture if you're running against trump in the primary, you can't just say i'm 100% donald trump all the way. you're not really giving anyone a choice. the one candidate i think is most likely to carry this ball is pence. and if the reports are true that trump is thinking of jumping into this race early, he'll get his chance early on to define it on those terms. we'll see if it works. i don't know. certainly she is laying that groundwork for him. >> listen, she's gained a lot of attention nationally, scott. she's been in the spotlight. do you think there's a chance liz cheney might run? >> sure, i do actually. i don't think she would run as a republican. >> huh. >> i guess she could. i don't know what the market place is. you look at the polling, half the party wants trump at the moment. the other half is split up between, i don't know, ron desantis, mike pence and a bunch of other people. whether there is a market for what

that's you what will hear from mike pence and ron desantis and nikki haley and others.nominee, i will support him. you will hear interest that from mitch mcconnell and everyone else. there is no distancing of donald trump in a mike pence candidacy. it will be an embrace of donald trump pure and simple. >> other high profile republicans who aren't running, they have a lot of influence, bill barr, karl rove, steve wynn, huge gop money guys, and/or influential guys, they are now launching an ever, restoring integrity and trust in elections. what is this all about, carlos? because none of those words align with the big lie. >> yeah, i mean look, if they want to restore integrity and trust in our elections, the first thing they have to do is come out and say donald trump is a liar, this whole thing is a lie, and just going back to the previous point, i will say, any scenario in which donald trump is not a viable candidate for president of the united states, any scenario in which he gets defeated in a republican primary is a better scenario for the country. and i think that i

everyone they're interested in seeing run again, it's not nikki haley and mike pence, it's people from the american first trump wing of the party. they're in trump's camp. ist weird. this is a conversation is trump's grip on the party slipping and my answer has been no. i don't think his grip on the party is slipping. he's still completely changed its direction but in terms of the voters, they're starting to say is there somebody else from this america first wing that could win and get us eight years of republican domination? >> how important is that, that the media needs to distinguish between trump and trump-ism. you're saying trump-ism is as strong as ever in the focus groups you do. >> it's really important. i think there is this idea of so when people say trump's grip on the party is slipping, they're talking about trump the man but there is trump the phenomenon and trump the phenomenon led us to nominate, us, republican voters in republican primaries people like doug and herschel walker and he has ads out there saying we're going rhino hunting. there is a very scary, very stop th

we certainly talk about a ron desantis, a kristi noem, nikki haley and so forth.ignificant thing isn't "the new york post" or "the wall street journal," those are significant, but it's that mike pence, not arizona, but mike pence was in washington, dc last week meeting with the house republican study committee, a group of conservative republican members of the congress. that they are willing to do so today is something i would have bet six months ago wouldn't have happened. >> interesting. charlie, do you think, particularly after last week's january 6th hearing, that there are some serious internal conversations going on right now about whether trump should be disqualified. that was congresswoman cheney's point of view, that he should be disqualified from running for any office. do you believe those kind of serious conversations are happening right now within the party? >> i have no doubt that those conversations are going on. i know they're going on, actually. many republican members. i'm sure if we had a secret ballot vote, i don't think there would be very man

there are other candidates, mike pompeo, nikki haley. >> would you like donald trump to be the republican would make it easier. >> it would guarantee a win. >> really? >> look at the polls. who is going to put trump back in power again, particularly after day after day there's something else that comes out that we didn't know about trump, moot to mention the way it comes out. your congressman, dean phillips, a democrat. >> i have respect for joe biden,' man of decency, goodwill, compassion, and of strength but to answer your question directly, which i know is quite rather, chad, no, i don't. i think the country would be well served by a new generation of compelling, well-prepared, dynamic democrats to step zblup new generation, compelling, well prepared. >> got one right here. >> here he is. here he is. do you think -- that's reflected in the polls right away. congressman phillip might be the only democratic -- >> it's been a tough couple of years. i'm really interested to see what happens in '24. you have a problem of really dynamic democrats who are running for seats. i want to see what

of those other people that are thinking ant running for president in 2024 from ron desantis and nikki haleyse people, tim scott, they have to decide whether or not they really want to go up against trump and the extreme ordinary amount of support that he still continues to enjoy in the republican party. >> neil: i get a seasons that ron desantis might make the move whether donald trump does or not. i look at that from the more than $29 million that he's raised for his re-election effort in florida. but that money is coming from outside of florida. i'm just wondering whether it's teeing up support for a presidential run of his own no matter what the former president does. >> you may be right. i don't know. i speak to some people that got quite close to the governor. you're right. he's certainly put himself in position to make a run. there was a poll just today in florida, among florida republican primary voters show him beating donald trump. that's his home state. and donald trump's home state, too. that is the governor's home state. he's not beating donald trump in florida -- >> neil: he's

he had nikki haley tweeting about the possibilities. ron desantis certainly hasn't taken his name out of the running, as well as others, mike pompeo. do you see a wide-open gop presidential primary at some point, and does a fractured gop give trump something of an advantage because that's -- would be a similar phenomenon to 2016 whereas the anti-trump vote was split in effect. >> look, jim, i want to go back to what i said earlier. i hate to be repetitious here. if you want to run for president you've got to have the people that can give you the financial resources to build a team to put in place a structure across the country to win. but you also have to have the ideas -- if you go back to 2016, the challenge i had is i didn't have the money that i needed. the ideas were there. the excitement caught on over time. where i fell short is didn't have enough dough to be able to do all the things i wanted to do. the same is true in any presidential election. that it takes both ideas and money. jeb bush had all the money, but he didn't have t

of course, you also have to look to iowament you've seen the likes of tim scott, nikki haley, tom cotton, ted cruz, others that have made their move to iowa over the course of the last year. for the former president, he'd be able to lay down the marker that he is, in fact, in this race and would be a direct challenge to anybody else considering. >> if he were to announcerly, as soon as he runs, it changes the financial picture of how he can fundraise, what he can spend money on. there are some limits that have to be observed. and it's also not great for other republican candidates around the country who don't want the conversation to be about donald trump in 2020. they want the conversation to be all about inflation and their attacks on the democrats. barbara mcquade, is there a third piece to this? is he trying to send signals to doj which might be a little more reluctant to prosecutor indict a former president who is running for re-election? >> it really complicates things because i think it risks the perception that the justice department is investigating or prosecuting donald trump s

. >> now, remarks by nikki haley, the former u.s. ambassador to the u.n.nder the trump administration, featured speaker at the second a

we've seen nikki haley tweet about the possibility of running. name out of the ring. sara, do you see a fairly wide open race for the republican nomination? and does a trump-like candidate help or hurt republicans in a general election? >> i'm not sure i would call it wide open. i think that trump still absolutely has, you know, a hard core base. he has an advantage. but one of the things i've seen in the focus groups lately since the january 6th committee happened is that a lot of these republican voters are worried that trump can't win. i think that, you know, people ask do the january 6th hearings break through, it's more that they have seened in, and people are worried that trump has too much baggage, but they still like trump and people that are from that combative style. there is this russian expression, the appetite increases while you're eating. what happened with trump is people crave his combative style of politics that the republican old guard doesn't embody, but somebody like a ron desantis does. there's a lot of people that see that

don't think it's wishful thinking from governor desantis of florida to vice president pence to nikki haleyere is a long list of republicans who i think are at least exploring the idea of throwing their hat in the ring and i think they are all plausible candidates, but, again, he still remains the most powerful and formidable figure in the gop even with recent polls and even with the impact of the hearings. so the question is what do they look like in many ways, any of them, if they are in a primary, you know, battle kind of mode with the former president. >> and how do they take on that cult of personality that is entrenched now in this new republican party. fascinating to see how that's going to play out. julian, thank you so much. >>> coming up, a robot goes rowing breaking a young chess player's finger. >>> and why the pope traveled over a thousand miles to apologize in person today. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose. tastes great in our iced coffees too. which makes waking up at 5 a.m. to milk the cows a little easier. (moo) mabel says for you, it's more like 5:15. ma

i hope nikki haley and tim scott gets on the ticket. i did have a question. would've felt a lot better about it if they had had someone like jim jordan on there and i know raskin is saying something about making money through your position of government, what about nancy pelosi and her inside trade deals that her husband is making? i think that needs to be brought -- some light needs to be brought on that. so many things are one-sided. i wish it was not. hard to get truth when it is one-sided. thank you for taking my call. guest: thank you for raising those good points. number one, originally what happened was kevin mccarthy was advocating the creation of an outside commission, not members of congress but former secretaries of state model on the 9/11 commission. in negotiations, the democrats accepted that. it was the chairman of our committee, bennie thompson who accepted that and negotiated with the con man from new york. then donald trump announced -- the congressman from new york. then donald trump announced he did not want any investigation and then kevi

you know, nikki haley.orite, but i think also some unexpected people to chris christie, perhaps or even larry hogan. governor of maryland. greg abbott has also been mentioned. and who knows we could see rand paul and ted cruz as well. some people are concerned about trump's impact on american politics rather than bringing people together. he's you know, caused disruption, i think, but u. c. berkeley political science professor henry brady says trump does have some disadvantages. trump and biden will be old men. ah and i say that as a fairly old person myself, and i think that there's going to be real questions about age. real questions about age. um and i think second of all that's going to be real questions about donald trump. and his fitness for office so we could see a an interesting thing to presidents nevertheless having people running against them and trying to displace them as the nominee of the party, jana katsuyama ktvu, fox two news thank you, jonah. the effort to recall los angeles district attor
