host: there are reports coming in about nikki haley and ramaswamy. can you elaborate? guest: yes, he is mostly self-funded. nikki haley started running fairly early compared to other candidates and is linked to some moderate republicans supporting her. she is lingering in the polls so maybe having a order time making her case with donors who are eager to have this. host: there was just announced that the iowa gop caucuses will took place january 15 of next year. what does that mean for the players involved? guest: that is early. it is important for desantis as campaign, the states that come after iowa, that appeared to be less favorable to him. he is really banking on getting the evangelical conservative vote in iowa to dent trump momentum out of the gate. you can see him trying to move to the right of donald trump. he is hoping to make a strong showing in iowa. it could be a make or break. host: when it comes to this, we talk about a lot of republicans. president biden was hitting the road talking about biden onyx -- bidenomics. guest: his team is trying to push the i

as desantis is now scrapping with nikki haley and tim scott. that really just sets donald trump on his own trajectory. rachel: all right. we're going to turn now to your headlines. at least four people are missing including two children as nova novascotia reels from what somee calling a storm of a lifetime. canadians were told to stay in their homes and 40 million americans could see triple digit temperatures today as extreme heat grips the south and the west. be shower download the fox weather app for the latest on these stories and more. the president of the teamsters union says ups workers will strike on august 1st if an agreement isn't reached with the shipping giant. talks between the teamsters and ups broke down earlier this month over wages for part-time employees, among other complaints. around 40% of ups shipments go to businesses and a strike could mean serious issues for the supply chain. earlier we asked you which one of our fox trend stories you wanted to hear more about and the story on time blinders came out on top. >> i'm flying

. >> neil: you know, nikki haley took umbrage to that, governor. she says she has taken own the former president. she said she's not anti-trump referring to you. what do you think on that? >> i have great respect and affection for nikki. she asked me to campaign for her in 2010 when she ran for the governor and again in 2014. we've been friends a long time. here's the bottom line. nikki has not figured out her position on donald trump. in one interview, she thought he shouldn't run againn't then she said she wouldn't run if he did. she changed her mind. then she said she wouldn't run. now she's running. if she's not clear with the fact that she's been sending very, very mixed messages and hasn't spoken directly about whether donald trump is fit to be president given all the things that he's done and by the way, neil, you know, a report that is very spotty. he said he was going to repeal and replace obamacare. he failed to do it. he said he was going to build a big beautiful wall across the border of mexico. in four years, he build 52 mills of new w

ambassador nikki haley has analysis. first rich edson has the story from the north lawn as best as we can tell at the moment anyway, good morning. >> the circumstances as to what this soldier was doing crossing into north korea are unclear. here is what we know from united nations command. they tell us a u.s. national on a jsa orientation tour crossed without authorization the military demarcation line into the democratic people's republic of korea and we believe he is currently in custody and working with the kpa counterparts to resolve this incident. the jsa is the joint security area straddling the border between the two countries. soldiers from both sides are close to one another here. we were there in 2017 with secretary of state rex tillerson. there are several blue huts there that cross the border, half in north and half in south korea designed to hold discussions between the two countries. tour groups from either north and south korea can occupy the huts. when we were there troops were taking pictures of us. in 2

now, i've watched all of them and especially what you mentioned nikki haley and tim scott, burgum, all, desantis are all talking about the economy. interesting to see as they are out more. i think the debate will make a difference. >> without a doubt. >> harris: i look forward to that. let's move to president biden for a second. at his delaware beach home this week. not a surprise, 39% of his time has been on those weekend moments where he is hanging out. republicans ramping up the investigation into the biden family bribery allegations while he hits the beach. former president trump seizing on that in this new ad. >> what do you call someone this week, someone caught in a bribery scandal that made them millions, complicit in a government cover-up, and uses your government to get special deals for his family? you call them joe biden. >> harris: president biden's time away from the white house also coming as his gop rivals are all over the country campaigning in key battleground states. governor sununu, i asked about the strategy on the left, biden and how he is doing. >> well look, he

>> well, i mean, this is also a matter of consistency about nikki haley.ut how she launched campaign of talking about competency tests over age 75, and there is a number of constitutional issues, and this is something that she has been saying over and over, and leaning into mitch mcconnell, but she is not talking about the former president who is in the late 70s, and the voters are mixed on this, and there is some of them that is a lot of weight to incumbency, and this is why they are casting thefon others who nikki haley is trying to tap into when it is coming to president biden when the democrats are trying to make up that he is older, and it is something that democratic voters are concerned about. >> well, a difference of how old you are, and your ability to do the job. and it seems like she might be making that distinction. i do want to talk about the latest polling when it is coming to her political rival, president donald trump. let's look at this poll. he is by far out ahead of the pack. desantis was doing much better when this all started, and now

nikki haley remains that one variable among this field that is above 5% who if on a debate stage could land some punches and has some credibility behind her having served in the administration because donald trump chose her to serve as the u.n. ambassador, and so for nikki haley, she hasn't had the chance to go in a head-to-head matchup with trump in that debate stage august 23rd, less than a month from now would be that opportunity for her to turn to donors and say ron desantis is not cutting it. tim scott doesn't have interest in being the nominee, and i am the alternative at this point as robert just laid out. nikki haley could be that alternative. >> is a night like tonight when you might test reason some lines that you might to want use in a debate or --? yeah? >> absolutely i'd be surprised if they haven't been testing lines out both with staff, out on the stump and getting reaction from activists. we did this all the time. i'm going to be fascinated, let's watch ron desantis, we've spent maybe two weeks talking about this reset that's happening. i think most people that have hea

nikki haley is not relevant in this primary.needs to go back and start working on his statements, clearly, it's a whole new world out there, tim. thank you so much. >> wow. >> wow is right. always good to see you. >>> today, senate republicans are struggling with how to respond to the growing controversy surrounding their colleague from alabama. senator tommy tuberville, who recently -- whose recent comments on white nationalism have created a rift in the party. the controversy began in may when he defended white nationalists as not being racist, a sentiment he doubled down on earlier this week before seeming to walk it back yesterday. listen. >> do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military? >> well, they call them that. i call them americans. >> just to be clear, you agree that white nationalists should not be serving in the u.s. military, is that what you're saying? >> if people think that a white nationalist is a racist, i agree with. i agree they shouldn't. >> a white nationalist is someone who believe

look at nikki haley, what she has already demonstrated with her leadership. - there is a candidate in the primary contest who is not holding back at all when it comes to criticizing donald trump. of course, that's chris christie. asa hutchinson has also not minced words. - right. - but they demonstrate a different approach. tim scott and nikki haley are hesitant to criticize and distinguish themselves from donald trump, but chris christie and asa hutchinson aren't. what do you make of that difference? - i think you have candidates that are trying to figure out how they cut through the trump noise. - yeah. - and it may be that, if we see, for instance, chris christie gaining traction because he is more forthright with his words, that perhaps the others will be more bold in that way. - and i should point out that chris christie is, at least in the most recent new hampshire polls, climbing up, he is now third. donald trump has around 37%. desantis has around 11. and christie's at 10. - so he's getting in the double digits. that's good. - [margaret] that, yeah, it looks like, - and that m

somebody like a tim scott could break out, nikki haley.e just -- for one point of clarification, i don't think chris christie is the wedge breaker. i think he's headed for one person, which is donald trump. i think he's going to use the debate to try to take trump out and effectively be an asset and ally of governor desantis of florida. >> charles: make looking for a gig if he wins. if he doesn't win, maybe renew a contract somewhere. >> exactly. >> charles: on that note, i mentioned casey desantis hitting the campaign trail. "the new york times" calling her the humanizer in chief. something akin to the role that michelle obama played for her husband, which was huge. can it work? >> it can. but desantis has to connect more. barack obama gave the big speech at the convention in 2004. that was his spring board in 2008. at the same time, she's an asset without a doubt. but there's no doubt about it that i think he's going to have to connect more and really get his campaign closer to trump over the next several weeks before the debate. >> char

there is no other lane here, whether it's desantis, pence, nikki haley, tim scott.gain we're talking 50, 60% of the vote in a crowded primary he's running away. so mitt romney's advice is completely off-base. >> jonathan: quickly, lauren, on the hunter biden issue, how difficult is this becoming for president biden? how dangerous is it to his political future? >> one concerning family i think is a concern not only for the president of the united states but anyone with family issues and matters but when we're thinking about the matters itself is that it's a distraction, right? republicans are intimidated by biden's leadership, by his ability to perform well with the economy, and when they are intimidated by that they do thing like pull these stunts where they're trying to keep people from thinking that the president is a formidable challenger and a great leader. and so we're seeing these distractions and if i was a republican i would do it, too, because when you have someone as strong as biden as a leader in a president, then you have those things come up. >> jonatha

i am sure nikki haley could run a 5k backwards in heels. and also more on the challenges women face, read ali's book. as far as ron desantis goes and his plans, he wants to cut three departments, energy, education, commerce department and the irs. these are all agencies the republicans have long sought to get rid of. and we saw newt gingrich with the three that desantis is talking about now. the one that is so fascinating is the irs. ted cruz made that a big issue in the past as a presidential candidate. it's so interesting because that's the very agency when you have whistleblowers accusing officials of impeding the hunter biden investigation. what we will see over the next few weeks and months, we will see congress that lift up the civil service and the mid ranking people at the irs, having gone after hunter biden and that have been stymied. anybody who pays taxes doesn't love the irs on tax day. >> yeah, a lot of interesting dynamics at play. that's for sure. really interesting conversation. thank you for being here. happy july fourth. >

how does ron desantis compete with this. >> i think nikki haley is right that the polls don't matters don't matter too much at this point but she's wrong to think she's good to be debited desantis were donald trump, this is a two-person race, ron desantis is only one that has a fundraising ability and the stature and conservative credentials to be donald trump. i think the republican primary voters haven't had a choice to vote for trump or not trump in seven years, i think what they do governor desantis record and is energy and youth will win o out. >> to see the legal troubles for the former president trump helping or hurting him with republican voters and is a help or hurt ron desantis? >> in the medium-term when it comes to iowa, new hampshire and south carolina i think it will help governor desantis. for the first time in seven years republican voters are going to have a clear choice between a governor that has coattails and recent accomplishments and improving conservative and donald trump who brings and did a lot of good for this country in the republican party but loaded with

ron desantis, mike pence, tim scott, nikki haley and asa hutchinson have all signed up to attend thist, and whether they like it or not three of those candidates will take the stage in the afternoon session, which now features the signing of a six-week abortion ban as its opening act. joining us now is claire mccaskill, former democratic senator from missouri. claire, thank you so much for joining me. and i would love for you to weigh in on the absolute awkwardness of governor desantis and nikki haley now having to same the zip code with a six-week abortion ban. >> it's interesting. desantis is running for president so he wanted to hide the fact he signed this bill. i'm not sure what the governor of iowa thinks she's accomplishing by this but it certainly isn't speaking to most of america or even most of iowa, alex. 61% of iowans, and this is a poll by the des moines register nationally recognized. and just recently they polled and 61% of iowans said they wanted abortions to be legal most of the time, safe and legal. 70% of iowa women say they want abortions to be safe and legal in mo

where my next guest has really been hitting the bricks pretty hard, former ambassador to the u.n., nikki haleywelcome to the show. >> thanks so much, charles. it's great to be with you. charles: it's great to have you here. you and ramaswamy have hit these early states harder than anyone else, 14 times in iowa for you, about 14, 15 times in new hampshire. it really does feel like right now former president trump, you know, stays elevated and everyone else is fighting for that breakout point. it looks like you're really betting that it's got to come early in this election season. >> i think you take iowa, new hampshire and south carolina very seriously. i mean, those are the first, you know, primaries or i caucuses that we have, and so, yes, it's about being anywhere and everywhere, it's about doing -- you can't just do a rally, leave and go away. you've got to go and touch hands. you've got to talk to every person, you've got to answer every question, and you've got to learn their trust. it's about trust and relationships with the people, you know, of iowa, with the people of the granite state

amba ambassador, nikki haley, a republican presidential candidate. great to have you on.y a quick sound bite from senator tim scott referring to bidenomics. watch. >> well, i hope he's going to start his apology tour here in south carolina. what we see with our own eyes, bill, is a loss of 10,000 of spending power. we've seen a 40% increase in gas prices. 20% increase in food. every single month since he's been in office except for one, inflation, outpacing increases in wages. >> trace: it's baffling that he would run on something, speaking of the president, that 70% of the country believes is going in the wrong direction. >> you know, he can't fool the american people. the american people know exactly what is in their wallets. let's look at what bidenomics is. inflation is doubled since biden took office. you look at 60% of americans are in credit card debt. one in 6 american families that can't pay their utility bill. he spent $5 trillion that has gotten us to a $32 trillion debt number. interest rates continue to go up. ask any american family when they go to the gas s

trump lda big lead in south carolinaith the state's former governor nikki haley in a tie for second placeith desantis. senator tim scott also from south carolina is only other candidate in the double-digits there. lots to discuss. here with us in the studio is harry enten and errol lewis of spectrum news and shelby talcott and shane goldmacher of the "new york times." so these polls seem to confirm what we maybe knew all along which is that donald trump is still very far in the lead and all of the other challengers are still struggling to even get close? >> yeah. it is certainly he has the front-runner, he's acknowledged recently that he's so far ahead he could have to do something seriously wrong to lose the lead. >> well we have indictments coming but we'll talk about that later in show. >> in the south carolina poll, this is something that desantis supporters have been concerned about for a few months now, is the fact that they have two people from south carolina in the race and so their argument to me over the past few months has been all of those votes, if nikki haley and tim scott w

nikki haley is next. ron desantis behind her at 13.o ahead by 30 points over ron desantis. in an article today, kellyanne from the hill, ron desantis is the next scott walker? you know, they keep talking in that campaign about sort of doing a reboot. has a reboot helped someone to overcome 30 points? >> a reboot has helped, but usually not six weeks later. you don't reboot while the ink is still wet. i've been long on the record on fox news on the daily about this. i think he should have waited. for many different reasons. he's ruined himself for 2028. he does way too much woke and covid. people want to hear about woke, the economy according to the fox news poll is the number 1 issue. can't get around it. as i said on your program last year, it was your program sitting next to you and dana perino. donors don't decide the nominees. the voters do. the voters decide who the nominees are and who the president is. thank god in our great democracy, that's true. desantis is a good governor. he's run a bad campaign. the other is the debate sta

people like nikki haley and mike pence. the polling doesn't lie. david is right.tion is whether donald trump will show up. he is double digits ahead of his closest opponents right now and we're probably going to see by most reporting accounts in the next few weeks a third set of criminal indictments come against him. it hasn't shifted the race yet. but i believe there are republican voters who are looking for an alternative to donald trump. the challenge has always been there are too many options. the more other candidates are out there, whether it's mike pence, tim scott, nikki haley, chris christie, they are splitting the anti-trump vote. they split that anti-trump vote the easier for him. >> harris: the easier it will be for democrats and part of the reason even with his lowest of low percentages of approval, joe biden doesn't want rf kennedy jr. coming about or joe manchin giving a wink to the no labels third party. come on, i know you want to see a lot of republicans. it helps your cause, marie. >> david. >> you are spot on. the more candidates that it does d

but now nikki haley's jumped in. let's take a look at over the weekend, chris christie and nikki haley. >> i think what our voters need to begin to think about is we have a front-runner right now who when he gets on the stage for the fox news debate on august 23rd, will be out on bail. in at least two different jurisdictions if not three. >> we can't have a general election where we are handing it over to kamala harris because we're dealing with indictments and court cases and legal issues of president trump. >> so garrett, talk to me about this and how you see this politically. so far, we do not see a negative effect in, after these indictments. no one has polled since the additional indictment on thursday night. in these indictments and all these legal cases, we've only seen it help him. his fund raising. >> none of this has broken through thus far and the candidates making this argument come in at a fraction of the support donald trump has. in a national poll we have seen, even people who don't support trump are t

nikki haley, a talented politically savvy person, there is not a way to break through because she wastedch time not going after donald trump. >> so let's talk about going after donald trump. because mike pence is in iowa and putting a lot in iowa. and he was asked by a voter about january 6, by the way, we're expecting the justice department to move on possible indictments on the january 6 insurrection. but listen to what one iowa voter had to say to vice president pence and his response. >> if it wasn't for your vote, we would not have joe biden in the white house. >> i did exactly what the constitution of the united states required of me that day. and i kept my oath. i'm sorry, ma'am, that is but that is what the constitution said. no vice president in american history ever asserted the authority that you have been convinced that i had. president trump was wrong about my authority that day and he's still wrong. >> so what do you think? >> well, i think the question that she posed was interesting. she disregarded 70 million other votes based on mike pence's vote because donald trump and

the former governor nikki haley remains a distant second.

tim scott, nikki haley. nikki haley has been in the beginning of this campaign.d blip on the political radar. tim scott is running, you know, reaganesque themes. and the base is like, that was then. we want someone who is going to break things and scare the hell out of people. who is going to walk in? chris christie has created a narrative lane, which will be interesting to see how that plays out, in terms of does it translate into votes? we're talking about a 30% to 40% base for trump. that's untapped and ready to move. it will be hard to get the voters to turn out in the numbers you need them to turn out in a republican primary to overwhelm the tsunami that donald trump has been building since he left office. >> ron, gabe, makele, thank you for being with us this morning. really appreciate it. >>> coming up, we go to capitol hill for reaction there. you're watching jose diaz belart reports on msnbc. introducing tow frech dip sandwiches. featuring fresh artisan bread piled high with tender roast beef, smothered with melty provolone cheese, just enough chipotle m

think a lot of these candidates entering the race do not expect to win the presidency but i think nikki haleyof this as well maybe they're running for cabinet positions, maybe they're running for vice president siva course are not going to admit as much i don't think there is actually a realistic path for them to the white house. eric: and for those who do want to become present we are seeing a change in the republican party some supporting early voting after all those attacks what is going on behind that do they seek success and the democrats and say we should be doing that to? >> are certainly a sense republicans do need to adapt to the current voting landscape virginia governor glenn youngkin governor glenn young isa great e supply were encouraging early voters and he is spending millions of dollars for this program in order to get it out there. his entire argument as we can argue against mail and voting we can argue against absentee voting we can say expansions that happen during covid were not for the best. the fact is they are here wouldr take advantage of them and take them to the succ

nikki haley also, chris christie also absent from the trail.s that surprise you for the two further down in the polls here? 18 months out from the 2024 election. >> little surprised about nikki haley. not as surprised about chris christie necessarily. certainly not surprised about donald trump. it's just not his thing. of course he doesn't need it. he's winning the primary right now. fourth of july parades are a great tradition. i'm glad to see most of the candidates out there. but for a lot of these campaigns it will take more than parades to bring them back from the lower reaches of the race right now. >> yeah, it's a good point. natasha, though, trump isn't on the trail, but he is on social media. he posted this meme, stunning decision on his part, it says, f biden, and by f i mean a four-letter word that i won't say on television. and it's a flag that says f biden and f you for voting for him, happy independence day. what do you make of that? >> well, that certainly brings the country together on this holiday that is supposed to represent u

nikki haley is here. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. i want to thank my colleagues edward lawrence and charles payne and sandra smith filling in while i was out. i don't really rush back but i'm back. glad to be back. let's go to the nato summit right now and jacqui heinrich in lithuania with more. jacqui? >> hi, neil. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is not hiding his fury that he's going to end this visit without a conditional invitation to join the alliance. he called that unprecedented and absurd and warned that russia will use this as a negotiating chip trying to block them out of a future bid for membership as part of the path to end the war. the alliance issued a joint statement saying that ukraine's future is with nato but the timing is just not right. i talked about it with president biden's undersecretary of defense and new nato member finland's foreign minister. >> ukraine has to meet the same standard that every other nato members does, democratic reform, interoperability, which means our militaries can work together.

nikki haley has the same problem doing that. many get in trouble when they do that.voters, just like democratic voters, want you to choose a side, stand there and stand for something. that's when ron desantis gets into the most trouble. >> what do you think, scott, if you were advising a candidate, how would you tell them to do this on a political basis? how would you tell them to respond? i did ask governor desantis about this in the interview, and we'll bring it the top of the 4:00 hour, but how would you advise a candidate or republican to do it? >> be honest. the one thing about january 6th that is true, it all happened live on television. we all watched it. there is no mystery about what happened. how you talk about it beyond that, i think, is probably prescribed by the belief on some of these campaigns that they just need to be acceptable in the event that what kristin said happens, that trump collapses, that at some point, if it becomes too much and he begins to fade, you're there to pick up the ball. respectfully, like governor hutchinson, he is not going to

let me remind you of something that nikki haley said that regarding donald trump, she said he's like voldemort in the harry potter books. he who shall not be named. i mean, he is very much the elephant in the room and a person that some people don't think you're wrong. desantis a willing to borrow from to as my last speaker particle hey, you know, corresponded with saying somebody who's he's willing to out trump, trump. yes. that's it, this is, this is what's going to be very, very difficult for republicans, for public and candidates. here on the one hand, i think governor desantis, why am i very much, is trying to trump president trump. i'd be more conservative. president trump. uh, somehow that doesn't seem to resonate and i'll tell you why in my opinion, there's still a belief and everybody on that stage with maybe one other exception. it is not an outside or, and other just to believe even though i like present at the governor, governor does and doesn't others do too. i think he has to have some support. there's a feeling that donald trump is in a coward class all by himself that

so join may go to nikki haley dot com, and let's make sure we save our country once and for all god bless you. thank you so much. all right, you've just had some nikki haiti, the speaking lincoln, dana in des moines, iowa. she's a former south carolina governor and full of us and by you would see you in on that from she's got any training about 5th, in the opinion, polls within republican supporters, but nevertheless, making her pitch staff for what she can bring their public and policy. let's go straight to the volume and speak to iowa and speak to pensacola. hey, enrolled in the i when i set the hailey training roughly about 5th. according to the latest poll i looked at, so i need with about only about 3 point one percent of support. amongst republicans, it's difficult to know what she actually brings to the mix. of course, she is the only woman and lots a assembly of, of republican men who were going to be speaking over the course of the evening. but what does she really add to the conversation within the republican circles as well? do you have someone who started my career here? i'm p

nikki haley, she is always ready with her facts and data and ready to go. i think chris christie will certainly target trump whether he's on the stage you will point out the issues there. i think others may take his cues and join him. again like i said before they need to take a step away from the donald trump lane if they have any chance of getting ahead in the polls and getting through to the american people. >> what's finally anyone has the greatest chance of scoring a winner breaking out? as far as the winter? i am hopeful we people do not know who he is. really can be an opportunity for him to introduce himself to republican voters also may be those independents who are not sure about right in and do not want to vote for him so maybe he could sway some people there. eric: there's a good point not just republicans will be watching. maura gillespie it thank you for your insight today. first the gop debate set for august 23 in milwaukee. we will see who is he was hosti, brett and martha. right the fox news channel starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern, quite a nigh
