ramaswamy: critical. rep. khanna: if you got behind something like that, that will get rid of the super p.a.c. here's the thing on the civil service though. too many people in this country are beating up civil servants. i know it's not popular to defend staff at the homeland security. first of all, we need people more than eight years to understand what's going on in ukraine and china can. i've been on the armed services committee. i've been there seven years. i learned so much. so much for the civil service. and they're not making the millions of dollars in silicon valley that some of my constituents are. they're downing this because they love the country. i just want to stand up for them because i know it's popular in terms of demonizing them. rep. ramaswamy: i'm not demonizing them. rep. khanna: no, no. rep. ramaswamy: i'm not demonizing anybody. then you ebb to a false debate. can a bureaucracy compromised of good people still be waste. at a scale that leaves americans holding the bag? and i do not think i

i thought haley taking on ramaswamy when he -- by the way, ramaswamy's like the -- he is like the guyunning the ship in "spaceballs." he went right to ludicrous speed right out of the gate. >> people like that, scott. >> he is like -- >> i know. in the real am of mel brooks' movies, maybe not the finest. >> nikki haley, what she said about abortion tonight. >> to be honest with the american people, this a personal issue for every woman and every man. i am unapologetically pro-life. not because the republican party tells me to be, but because my husband michael was adopted and i had trouble having my children. so i'm surrounded by blessings. post-roe, they took it out of the hands of unelected justices and put it in the hands of the people. now we are seeing states vote. as much as i'm pro-life, i don't judge anyone for being pro-choice and i don't want them to judge me for being pro-life. whether we are looking at this, some states are more on the pro-life side. i welcome that. some states are going more on the pro-choice side. i wish that wasn't the case, but the people decided. but

ramaswamy. the claim about a supposed bribe, to hunter, biden is completely uncorroborated. number two, there is not one iota of evidence, nothing at all, to suggest that aid to ukraine, which has been approved by bipartisan majorities, has anything to do with any member of the biden family. so, what we know about this claim of a bribe? well, all we know is that, in 2020, a confidential fbi source told the bureau that for years prior, he had heard the ceo of ukrainian energy company, where hunter biden sat on the board, say that the ceo had given two 5 million dollar payments, 1 to 1 biden, and one to another. a dramatic claim. but that claim, from the informant, contained no proof whatsoever, in, fact the fbi report in memorialized allegation, said the source cannot even authorize the opinion of the accuracy of the claim. subsequently, the house heard testimony from republican witness devin archer, an associate of hunter biden, who said that he had never heard anything about such a payment. he

that's a funny clip from ramaswamy. actually it sounds like he's interviewing to be the anchor of newsmax and the president united states, and i hope he's okay. i also [laughter] i do agree with him when you said the republican party as a party of losers. i do agree with that. so what happened tonight, normally after you lose an election, you take a moment to self reflect and try to course correct. what we saw as donald trump and republicans gather in florida, and double down on the same issues that cost them the election last night. so point-blank lee, the maga failed, republicans gathered in florida to double down on the same thing that cost them the election. so i just think this very comical coming from ramaswamy. >> we have been talking a lot tonight about abortion, politics of abortion, everybody at this table does not 100 percent agree which is okay. i want to ask you, in the campaign tonight, texting with everybody, what -- what are we going to see in an ad? i'm warning about social security and the answers on t

: rachel is live with vivek ramaswamy, along with his wife, dr.my. >> steve: and rachel is wearing four-inch heels. >> rachel: i am wearing four-inch heels. you probably couldn't hear it playing on the tv. they played the clip about the three-inch heels and the exchange you had. people talking it is funny. this is an important topic to you about war and peace and wars we've been in the last decade. >> it is. time for generational change. dick cheney and george bush did lead us to war, racked up trillions in iraq and afghanistan. thousands went to die and did not advance american interest. i am keen to make sure we don't make the same mistakes again. declare independence from china, protect our own homeland instead of somebody else's border halfway around the world. i believe i'm the only person on that stage representing that view. >> rachel: that is what i noticed, you are only one with nonneo-con view. when on the trail, what are people telling you? are you seeing a certain age group is in support of you and other side isn't? you say it is gener

look, that's a funny clip from ramaswamy.e's interviewing to be the anchor of newsmax then he is the president of the united states. and i hope he's okay. i also do agree -- >> [laughter] >> i do agree with him when he says that the republican party is a party of losers. and i agree with that. so you know, what happened tonight, is normally after you lose an election, you take a moment to self reflect and try to course correct. but what we saw is donald trump and republicans gather in florida and doubled down on the same issues that cost them the election last night. so put point blankly, the maga agenda failed, republicans gathered in florida to double down on the same things that cost them the election. so again, i think it's a very comical comment coming from ramaswamy. >> we've been talking a lot tonight about abortion, the politics of abortion. everybody at this table does not 100% agree, which is okay. i wanted to ask, you when you are sitting in the campaign tonight, texting with everybody, what stuck out to you guys?

ambassador nikki haley and entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy.for more not about vivek ramaswamy, let's bring in washington post opinion editor alexi mccammond. nikki haley, had a pretty good night, a couple of good debates in row, trying to pitch herself as the trump alternative, was it a mistake that she kept getting caught up in sparring with vivek ramaswamy than saying ron desantis who she's vying with for number two. >> she expressed a lot of restraint. i think vivek ramaswamy was trying to bait her and be this petty troll over and over again. when i was talking to folks from her campaign in days before the debate, they were saying we're not going to waste our time on vivek ramaswamy, the real focus as you said is ron desantis, i think we all expected her to go a little harder at ron desantis. in the past two debates he's kind of hung back that she's not oversaturating himself or inserting himself more than he has to do. >> the conversation we had with dave, haley's team calling for tim scott to drop out, have you given any sense that might

. >> brooke: clashes between former ambassador nikki haley and newcomer vivek ramaswamy. watch this. >> last debate she made fun of me for joining tiktok while her daughter was using the app. take care of your family first. >> leave my daughter out of your voice. >> you are just scum. >> do you want a leader from a different generation that will put this country first or do you want dick cheney in heels. >> putin and president xi jinping are sell vating someone like that could become president. >> she doesn't answer the question. >> brooke: abortion was front and center after tuesday's election in ohio 56% of voters passed amendment to add abortion protection to the state constitution. and polling reveals 7-10 voters will consider that issue next november. >> let's be clear, democrats have taken a position they will not identify the point at which there should be any protection up until birth thachl is wrong and we cannot stand for that. three out of four americans agree with the 15-week limit. >> focus on how to save as many babies as we can and support as many moms as w

ramaswamy -- mr. ramaswamy, any daylight between you and the candidates we just heard in this issue and what you would tell the prime minister? >> not what i would tell the prime minister, no. in fact i would go one step further. the found vision of israel was based on the idea they don't want to depend on anybody else's sympathy or direction in defending themselves. what i would tell b.b. is that israel has the right and the responsibility to defend itself. i would tell him to smoke those terrorists on his southern border, and i'll tell him as president of the united states, i'll be smoking the terrorists on our southern border. that's his responsibility, this is our responsibility. that's how we move forward. but i want to be careful to avoid making the mistakes from the establishment of the past. corrupt politicians in both parties spent trillions, killed billions, made millions in places like iraq and afghanistan, sent people my age to die in wars that did not advance anyone's interest adding $7 t

at debate, haley called ramaswamy scum. ramaswamy said haley is dick cheney this 3-inch heels. democrats took their issue and won big with it in tuesday's elections. haley came on strong on foreign policy. it was really a race to be the second, and the early reaction suggests second place now goes to nikki haley. trump, oh, he was holding a rally of his own just a few miles away. he's way out front. he has more support than all five candidates combined. you'll see the highlight reel with lauren in just a couple of minutes. >>> all right, to the markets, you'll like this. socks are up again in a modest rally mode, i'd say. the dow's up maybe 100 points, 10 for the s&p and 12 for the nasdaq. some green out there. investors liked disney's financial report. that stock is up sharply in premarket action today. what is that,s 4%, $3 at 87. interest rate a, little changed. show me 10- year, 4.53%. that's the yield. the 2-year, well below 5%, you're looking at 4.96%, but it is creeping up a bit. i saw bitcoin at $36,000 earlier. st new at $37,300. that's another rally right there. oil e

escuchemos quÉ dijo ramaswamy sobre nikki haley. inglÉs] reportero: nikki haley comenzÓ a hablar mÁs adelante de un tema que sÍ interesa mucha de nuestra audiencia, y es el tema de venezuela. escuchamos quÉ dijo nikki haley. [habla en inglÉs] amenazÓ a los inmigrantes con cobrarle dinero sobre las remesas y Él llega a ser electo. [habla en inglÉs] [habla en inglÉs] [habla en inglÉs] [habla en inglÉs] reportero: ramaswamy incluso fue mÁs allÁ y dijo que el presidente lÓpez obrador deberÍa salirse del camino para poder crear un acuerdo entre los dos paÍses y asegurar la frontera. >> una de las cosas que ramaswamy y desantis dijeron esta noche es que el partido republicano es un partido perdedor. anoche a lo largo y ancho del territorio nacional la agenda maga fue rechazada, y eso es lo que vamos a ver en 2024. reportero: las reacciones se verÁn en 10 semanas, cuando se celebran las primeras elecciones primarias en la youba. —— en iowa. leÓn: el hombre que encabeza esta lucha por decenas de puntos, donald trump, no participÓ en el deba

last night's debate will be remembered for nikki haley calling vivek ramaswamy scum and ramaswamy callingn 3-incher heels. oh, carry. -- oh, dear. the candidates of could have offer clarity the on abortion. democrats seized on that issue week and won big. republicans for 50 years have opposed abortion, but now that it's no longer a right, they don't know what to do. a 6-week ban, a 15-week ban welcome back, a total ban, haley said it's crucial to be honest with the public. there's still no real clarity there. the candidates could have taken on trump, but the discussion was tepid. it was lukewarm. apart from chris christie who bases his campaign on posing trump, the other candidates walked away from sharp-edged attacks except on each other. trump wasn't there. he was a few miles down the road holding his own rally. he said the republican establishment should stop wasting time and resources pushing weak and ineffective rinos, his words. the point is, trump gets more support than all five candidates combined, and after last night that is not likely to change. it's become a race to be second.

i asked ramaswamy about that. he simply said i don't disagree with the former president's policies, i just have younger legs. trace. >> trace: we're doing to talk about that later, aishah hasnie live for us in miami. expert debate analysis from the chief political anchor and host of special report bret baier. bret great to have you on the show as always. issue a was talking about the knives being out. was it mainly nikki haley and vivek ramaswamy or was this across the board in your opinion? >> reporter: there was some across the board. ron desantis and nikki haley, there was some back and forth. the structure of the debate, they didn't go back to someone who was mentioned many times. they kind of went formula. it was a different feel, fewer candidates on the stage so there weren't as many explosive moments and sometimes that's a good thing. but there were explosive moments. one i should mention at the beginning was talking about tik tok and whether they should ban it or notment ramaswamy reflecting back on when n

that's a funny clip from ramaswamy.nd i hope he's okay. i also [laughter] [laughter i do agree with him when you said the republican party as a party of losers. i do agree with that. so what happened tonight, normally after you lose an election, you take a moment to self reflect and try to course correct. what we saw as donald trump and republicans gather in florida, and double down on the same issues that cost them the election last night. so point-blank lee, the maga failed, republicans gathered in florida to double down on the same thing that cost them the election. so i just think this very comical coming from ramaswamy. >> we have been talking a lot tonight about abortion, politics of abortion, everybody at this table does not 100 percent agree which is okay. i want to ask you, in the campaign tonight, texting with everybody, what -- what are we going to see in an ad? i'm warning about social security and the answers on that? well stuck out to us problematic? >> i mean, the whole agenda is problematic. on abortion,

vivek ramaswamy is donald trump's wingman. any time donald trump says something stupid, vivek is in there with a trying to clean up after it. you think a guy with a harvard education would be able to get a better than that, but he's cleaning up what donald trump drops every day out of his mouth. >> just before i let you go, i want to ask you about the meeting that president biden had last night, yesterday all day with xi jinping. yesterday president biden doubled down on calling him a dictator, but also got some things done, fentanyl, reestablishing communication between the militaries. how would you have handled president xi in a different way, if you were president? >> what i would say is on the fentanyl issue, this should have been done quite some time ago. hopefully, the chinese will keep their word. now i don't trust them. i follow the reagan approach of trust but verify. we'll see if they comply with what they said they are going to do on fentanyl. on the issue of military to military communication, that's always a good

>> laura: i missed that. >> will she chunk it at ramaswamy? it was cringe, to use gen-z slang. >> laura: i missed that. nbc is pushing idea no labels party will actually stop trump. >> two winners are nikki haley and chris christie, my real question is to no labels. two people on the stage right now could challenge donald trump with all your dollars behind them, what exactly are you doing? >> laura: mollie, there is rumor of this no labels group drafting romney and joe manchin to run together. that to me is -- it is one of the funniest things i've heard next to the stilettos comment. >> there is investment in having the winner not be president and he's polling well in the primary and match up against biden, people are willing to do all sorts of things. i don't know the logic there. not a lot of people are hungering for joe manchin and fewer for romney. >> laura: do they remember about romney in 2012, he was thurston howell iii and he was mean to his dog. we love ronald reagan, what do they do to the candidate? >> they love those who are no thr

you have her supporters propping her up. >> that's fine. >> booze filled the debate hall after ramaswamik a swipe at haley's daughter for using tiktok, an app owned by china. i want to laugh at why nikki haley didn't answer your question, which is about looking at families in the eye. >> in the last debate, she made fun of me for actually joining tiktok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. so you might want to take care of your family first. leave my daughter out of your voice. adult daughter haley fired back, calling ramaswami a scum. >> here's the truth. >> you're the easy answer. >> referring to the party's losses at the polls tuesday, ramaswami also slammed the head of the republican national committee. >> we've become a party of losers at the end of the day, is a cancer in the republican establishment and speak the truth. i mean, since ronna mcdaniel took over as chairwoman of the rnc in 2017, we have lost 2018, 20, 20, 20, 22. no red wave that never came. and i think that we have to have accountable party in our party. >> well, i knew that he just lost

-- >> joining me now, republican candidate for president, vivek ramaswamy. mr.thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> you tweeted, earlier today, you wanted to see president biden secure a commitment from china. not to invade, or annexed, taiwan. you have, previously, suggested that defending taiwan from invasion is not something you would commit to, indefinitely. is this a reversal back? >> i have been crystal clear. i am the only candidate that believes that strategic ambiguity is a mistake. the current policy of the u.s. government is to not state clearly whether the u.s. would, or would not, defend taiwan. i think that is a mistake. i have been very consistent on this. the correct policy is to say we will defend taiwan. at least, until we have secured semiconductor dependence. that way, we can resume this status quo of strategic ambiguity. i think china has been very strategic about when they've set up this meeting. now, and the u.s. is mired in wars another world, like in ukraine. when those were working out, potentially, in the middle east. chin

and how about vivek ramaswamy? we like to say ramaswamy, but do we like him?xes. he's rich, rude, he's got weird hair. he's a lot like me except for one thing that matters a lot to my horrible, horrible base, white. sad he's going nowhere. look who snl has playing him. poor ego. you don't like it, she doesn't like it. she used to be lisa from temecula. now she's vivek from ramaswamy. and look who they got playing meatball ron. one of the destroy boys. ron's watching at home like, who the hell is that. poor ron desantis. even snl doesn't think he has a chance. if they did, it would be like paul rudd or something in there, right? how about nikki haley, right? i call her bird brain, but only in public. she made some terrible points in that debate. i think. i don't really know. i have trouble hearing women over 25. but let's be honest. we're not going to have a president whose name is nikki. president nikki. just doesn't sound right. probably because it's a woman's name. and how can we forget chris christie? it's actually pretty easy. you just walk away. isn't it

a pretty tense l moment between ramaswamy you are scum.nd nikki haley. this of course was the first debate, helena, since that attack on israel, and the situation in the middle east also played a big role in tonight's debate. absolutely. it was tonight's debate. absolutely. it was the — tonight's debate. absolutely. it was the second _ tonight's debate. absolutely. it was the second question i it was the second question tonight to be addressed, all of the candidates coming out onto the candidates coming out onto the stage voicing their support for israel. though through different degrees. tim scott for a coming out and say not only should they be full support for israel, but also strikes on iran, pacifically with support two, he said, hezbollah and hamas as well. vivek ramaswamy taking a more isolationist approach and being called out by nikki haley for that, saying she and putin would be salivating to hear someone of your stature running for president, saying something like that. ukraine of course was also spoken about and i think potenti

take, for example, entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy. guy with the energy of a hollywood assistant who offers you a fiji water while you wait, and then tells his boss you demanded a fiji water. [ laughter ] he's the guy in a zombie movie who says he'll get the car and come back for everyone else, and then he just leaves and drives off. but the joke's on him because there's a zombie in the back seat, and when that zombie lunges forward and bites his neck while he's scream-singing "life is a highway," the whole audience cheers with delight because [ bleep ] that guy [ cheers and applause ramaswamy got into a heated exchange with nikki haley, who served as u.n. ambassador under donald trump you don't really need to know what this is abot, because it's all weirdo nonsense, except that ramaswamy attacked haley's daughter for using tiktok and hailey was fired up. >> in the last debate she made fun of me for actually joining tiktok well, her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time, so you might want to take care of your family f

and also another takeaway on vivek ramaswamy. no disputing the fact he wants to be the king of wokeness on the stage and he articulates that in every debate. but when he goes -- we heard him go after nikki haley and he also went after kristen welker one of the moderators, after nikki haley's daughter, he went after ronna mcdaniel blaming her for all the republican losses. that is not anything less than just a chauvinist pig against women blaming women for all the ails of the republican party when we know that donald trump is the anchor for the republican party right now. so i don't see how that will help boost him with women voters by any stretch of the imagination. certainly not going to win him any points with rational voters who are looking at him as someone who might be the standard bearer for this party moving forward. >> and i'm so glad you pointed that out because there were plenty of men available on stage for him to attack and we did not see him do that in nearly the terms that he attacked the women that you listed. tia,

ramaswamy had publicly promised in this debate that he would be unhinged.s promise ahead of time. he came right out at the gate, at the top, attacking kristen welker, and then attacked nikki haley, called her dick cheney. >> shout out to tucker carlson, elon musk, and joe rogan, those are his homeboys. that was so terribly cringy. >> after he shouted out those guys and insulted the femaler, e female candidate onstage, i thought -- he just bowed to joe rogan, and then insulted the first woman that he could see, and then insulted the second woman. i consulted my notes, he has run out of women. but yet, he pulled a rabbit out at the half. he decided to attack nikki haley's daughter, who was not onstage or in the room, as far as we know. i, mean i kind of wondered who he would hit next. >> i kind of feel like he is not running for president, he's running to replace ben shapiro. >> i think he wants a podcast. >> i think it's clear that he feels he could challenge the far right wing podcast crew, he thinks he can get one. the problem is, he is so annoying. no one

ramaswamy was the only one who firmly said no, no more. >> laura: three populists are trump, ramaswamy desantis. when you add up all their support last time i checked it was about 84%. when you add up all of them. they are the fringe. they're the fringe. >> not really a debate in the republican party about where they want to be going. the debate' among media people they wish the republican party could be returned back to the pre2015 area where they were easily controlled. where they had the burden of pushing their wars, which were very politically toxic and unpopular. they liked when the republican party had that -- was carrying that. they don't like that the republican party has thrown that off and that it s. embracing more of a populist message. >> laura: nikki haley, "the washington post," the "new york times," msnbc, i think, i mean, i don't think one major media outlet who didn't say that she absolutely won that debate last night. you know, she had some very -- there were emotional exchanges. i'm going to ask vivek about those later. they are emphatic. don't you think that they se

vivek ramaswamy, he's not going to be president, he doesn't poll.ight, nbc. i just want to play this. i'm not sure it's gotten the attention it deserves. both you and jason. take a listen. >> we've got christine walker here. you'd think that democrats would actually hire greg gutfeld to host a democratic debate? they wouldn't do it. the trump collusion hoax you pushed on this network for years, was that real or hillary clinton made up disinformation? we need accountability because this media rigged the 2016 election, they rigged the 2020 election with hunter biden laptop story. and they're going to rig this election. larry: so, all right, he's given them a spanking. right there, full public view. not that many saw the debate but whatever. they're a corrupt media and pushing russia gate and ukraine ya gate and god knows what other gate. charlie hurt, regardless of what happens to vivek ramaswamy, i'm going to give them a couple of grade points for that little riff he did. >> it's fantastic. he really does seem to be the only person that's really havi

who thinks ramaswamy won the debate. one, two, three. thinks scott won the debate. >> nikki haley came in first place with the story county group this time around. >> why do you think she won? >> i think she was attacked by people and that means that they fear her, and i think she's strong and she reacted appropriately, and she's not a pushover. >> the mayor of nevada, why do you think she won? >> i think with foreign policy being center stage, it plays into her strengths, and they spent a lot of time on that topic, and we saw her go toe to toe with tyrants of the u.n., and you can see her doing that as president. >> why do you think desantis won? >> aside from scott, he holds office right now, and that office is in the executive branch, so everybody else says what they would do or what they did ten years ago, desantis says what he's doing now, and what he's going to be doing once he changes position. >> and what about those who went for ramaswamy? . >> i think he wasn't afraid to speak his mind, and everybody else was kind of in sync wi

do you think they'll be more like ramaswamy? he's wealthy and able to fund his own campaign.ity to win elections going forward? >> well, look. i think, you know, it ain't over till it's over and that's the thing do is if you are of a different persuasion, you have to fight. so i don't want to declare it over. i do think that ramaswamy's philosophy, his style is ascendant, and i think it's partly indicative of the time in which we live, and some people like me, like young gen x-ers, and even boomers, donald trump was 30 old when he came down that escalator. he's never been elected before. his political identity has been formed in the trump era, and if you are 20 years old today or 21 years old today, you've never really known a republican party that wasn't kind of a donald trump, elon musk, joe rogan-type party, and i think that says things about your philosophy, probably being more pro-russian than those of us who came of age, i don't know, in the '80s, and also your style. i think this very online, troll-ish provocateur, glib manner that vivek has is -- it's what's cool toda

. >> and joining me now is republican candidate for president vivek ramaswamy. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> and you tweeted earlier today that you wanted to see president biden secure a commitment from china not to invade or to annex taiwan, but you've previously suggested defending taiwan from invasion is not something you would commit to indefinitely. is this a reversal from you? >> no, i have been crystal clear that i'm the only candidate that believes that strategic ambiguity is a mistake. the current policy of the u.s. government is to not state clearly whether the u.s. would or would not defend taiwan. i think that's a mistake, and i have been very consistent on this. the correct policy is to say that we will defend taiwan, at least until we have secured semiconductor independence in this country, at which point we can resume the current status quo of strategic ambiguity. i want to say, i think china's been very strategic about when they set up this meeting. now when the u.s. is mired in wars in other parts of the world, like ukraine, ch

and vivek ramaswamy and tim scott are fading away.ommunicator, and if you are listening to him, you will think that something is terribly wrong. and not calling him out, but saying that he is a secret puppet and bringing in the spector of the war that the president needs to prosecute against fellow citizens is what has been seeping into the water, and ron desantis had a good debate, but nikki haley out shown him. >> last word? >> you are beginning to see the field narrow and winnow in a way that could give way of a different set of outcomes and when you 17 candidates or 16 candidates going into iowa and if 15 defy the non-trump vote, trump could very well end up with the majority. >> and stop tiptoeing around donald trump. >> thank you, both. kate? >>> another government shutdown is looming, and as you roll your collective eyes, we will go back to capitol hill with a check on them with eight days to get the act together. >>> and same drug, different use and new name, and why there is a new use for a diabetic drug to be used to treat o

vivik ramaswamy landed at a golf club in the state. live free or die.ten on the license plates. the motto of ramasavami’s company is one word: however, they really get tired of lies, especially in one-story america, so vivik’s ball rolled into the right pocket. great job. this voters watched the last republican debate, florida governor ron desantis was recognized as the winner, and vivik romswami was recognized as the brightest. trump was not there again, but of course he was. stop, this is great guys, come on, this is the last time you do this. it was in vain that the liberal moderators at nbc thought they had managed to put out the fire. vivik ramaswamy inflated it with renewed vigor, like gasoline injecting truth serum, right into primetime. ukraine is not a model of democracy. this country has banned 11 opposition parties, all media are working to the state. they are threatening that they will not hold elections this year unless the us sends more money. this is not democracy. they honor. if you become president of the united states, will you meet wi

ramaswamy: i was with a group this morning. i told them that so much of electoral process takes place through the media, through cameras, social media algorithms. but here is a roomful of us having an open conversation at a table freely speaking, no social media of the reasons in the air -- algorithms in the air, no tv screens. i have changed my mind on something since we started this campaign. when we started in february, i was convinced that we were a nation divided. the task of uniting this country was going to be difficult but it was my purpose. i have now traveled to the majority of states in the union. i do not think we are nearly as divided as the media teaches us that we are. if you turn on the social media apps or watch cable television, you are led to believe we are divided. he way we call the bluff on the national division is all of us to speak openly again. this gap between what people are willing to say in private and in public. i think that is the measure of our country's health, how big is that cap? what i have s

now, ramaswamy considers himself not only a politician, but an entrepreneur, he managed the packages.ological companies in an investment fund, from which he earned his first millions, then founded a holding company that invested in promising medical developments, and even in his election campaign ramasavami demonstrates business acumen; on his official website it is said that everyone who brings a sponsor will receive 10% of the amount he invested, out of habit, considered laudatory, even the head of zelsky’s office, andrey ermak, noted, who gave a link to it with a recommendation about no one believes in the victory of ukraine, a lonely battle vladimir zelsky, the american magazine time flawlessly reveals the unsightly underside of the kiev regime, these headlines from the bank leak about panic became a cruel blow to the kiev authorities, they ran to justify themselves. all this onnoness raises a lot of questions for me, if you have any. and if the author of the article uses russian narratives about our losses, then i want to say, we understand what they are, the ukrainian politician

everybody but vivek ramaswamy was quite strong on israel.abortion it is an issue of a personal freedom and there's actually a huge decline and the number of abortions. people are voting this way on abortion and marijuana and these are voters who are typically with the republican party saying we need more personal freedom we should have these rights. i think it's a different issue than people realize in i think on the economy i don't think any of the candidates did a super convincing job other than attacking bidenomics on the economy and consistently being for lower energy prices which i think is obviously something that the voters are looking for. maria: i think trump was masterful in his move to not join these debates. without him on the stage it felt like -- what do you think. >> it felt like they're having all of this they're knocking to decide his vice president. it's fun for political people and its entertainment but it is not moving the ball. it is helping to flush these people out. one thing that is important if you get a run in seek

vivek ramaswamy came out hot. he went after the rnc chair saying she should resign and she's responsible for the gop losing. also criticized her for even holding the debate with some news organization other than a conservative one. i asked her about that. >> i have to ask you first about what vivek ramaswamy said. he went after you personally. >> he did. i'm not going to do that. i'm always going to focus on the democrats. i will say this. this republican on republican infighting, i'm not running for president so i'm not in the primary, it isn't helping our party. if you can't take a tough question, you probably shouldn't be running for president. >> mic drop emoji. >> with a spiel and in heels. everybody standby. pretty soon joe biden is going to arrive in illinois hoping to drum up momentum for his reelection campaign. can he beat back the political head winds? we'll talk about that next and see what he saysys about thahat questition. >>> a short time ago, president biden addressed for the first time a string of

the wild card is vivek ramaswamy who went in as a bit of a bomb thrower. but i think his act is wearing thin. i don't think that he had an especially good debate and where he made some of his more outrageous claims, the other candidates were quick at putting him down. so haley and desantis probably the two strongest in the field. >> and it seemed as though the candidates weren't exactly focusing on the issues that will move the dial at next year's election. for example off the back of the results on tuesday. that was not discussed until the very he said and there really wasn't very much moving of the dial. desantis perhaps a little more vague on his stance. and there was a huge emphasis on foreign policy which typically is not be would of the key issues for voters in the united states when deciding who to vote for. >> yeah, i thought the abortion came late but one of the more interesting discussions. you saw some of the candidates take a softer line perhaps than we've seen in previous republican primaries. i think that republican party is the dog that fina

should he go away to go to vivek ramaswamy. stuart: i cannot see vivek ramaswamy winning this race.ossibly vivek ramaswamy could be vice president would trump but that is a long shot. >> maybe i'm talking personal feelings. again i think the one that has the best shot in the best organization, the best record is ron desantis. again he's not the most lovable guy on stage or in events. the personality is lucky but the policy and the results have been really good with ron desantis. ron desantis has to leave trump alone, stop ready to get donald trump run on your own record and what you did in florida stop hitting president trump and try to separate yourself, run on your own record and should trump go away you should be the next guy. i don't think that trump is going away. >> hold on a second ago to turn away to something as i'm switching years as we like to say. moody's lowered their outlook from negative to stable and we have a looming government shutdown. the market is not reacting desperately down 60 on the dow, down 60 on the nasdaq. david bahnsen with me this morning, what would t

other than chris christie -- >> -- ramaswamy than on trump? >> -- to go after -- >> yeah. >> you have to take down the front candidate. that's just basic campaign politics that any candidate should understand. >> yeah, no question. all right, well, charlie dent, joe lockhart, great discussion, gentlemen. thanks very much for starting us off this hour. we appreciate it. good talking to you. >>> in the meantime, the israel/gaza conflict has led to a frightening rise in acts of hate in the u.s. coming up next, a look at some of the cases against jews and and muslims s and d what's bein done to fifight it, ththat's ne. >>> the israeli military is conducting what it calls a significant strike on gaza, flares and explosions could be seen tonight in the direction of gaza. the action comes as the israeli military said its troops reached the coast of gaza in an effort to encircle the reign from several directions. meanwhile, along israel's northern border with lebanon, the israeli defense forces chief said that the military was ready to shift into a, q

and xi are rallying for ramaswamy to be president? what did you make of the debates? ramaswamy was slammed by nikki haley for bringing up her daughter's tiktok use and nikki haley called him "scum". what'd you think? >> usually children are off limits in terms of presidential polls obviously. especially on something like this with tic tock and things like that the most substancive debate of the three and it won't move the needle and he's up 35 points nationally and 30 points in iowa and 30 points in new hampshire and nothing about the battle for a distant second place changed that narrative last night. liz: mark, have your reaction to this and watch vivek ramaswamy here. >> this is actually about you in&the media and corrupt media establishment asking the trump russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years. was that real or was that hillary clinton made up disinformation? answer the question. go. we need accountability because that media rigged the 2016 election, they rigged the 2020 election with hunter biden laptop

[cheers and applause] to be fair, vivek ramaswamy is really annoying.ave to admit, he does have big dick energy, but it's only because he's a huge dick. i mean, nikki haley was america's top diplomat at the united nations. she literally kept her cool with the worst dictators in the world. and 8 minutes on stage with vivek and she's like, "you are [bleep] scum!" he is so insufferable. he should just lean into it. he should say, "make me president, so i can annoy our enemies for america." like, he'll have one meeting with vladimir putin, and in 20 minutes, putin will mysteriously kill himself. he'll be like, "excuse me, i must accidentally fall out window now." now, it wasn't just bickering last night, there was a lot of substance. the candidates disagreed on whether to keep giving aid to ukraine, on whether abortion should be left up to the states, and on whether but one thing that almost all the candidates agreed on is being horny for war. >> i would be telling bibi, finish the job once and for all with these butchers, hamas. >> the first thing i said t

vivek ramaswamy, candidate for the presidential race. appreciate it. thank you. griff: texas forces continue facing a never ending surge in migrant encounters, bill melugin has the latest. >> reporter: typically, in texas over in arizona, as you are aware this is happening on the southern border so we want to take you to california. san diego county, large groups of migrants crossing illegally, they are starting campfires on the us side of the border in an extreme high risk burn area where it is dry and windy in california's prime wildfire season. the video, china, turkey, taking a chance for any young children or unaccompanied children because they didn't want to be in the elements but these crossings happening in texas, california and arizona. we talk about the human smuggling showing troopers and border patrol chasing human smuggling near the del rio area, stolen truck, one falls out all -- everybody bails out of that vehicle, looking at illegal immigrants running into the brush. they arrest them including the human smuggler. take a look at this video from a d

they weren't talking over each other, except for ramaswamy. he did it over and over again.n you're talking about somebody's child, to use a box term, i would think a lot of people would say that's below the belt. >> even some of the candidates came out, i heard desantis saying after that he thought it was a very civil and substantive is the word he used in terms of the debate. was there one moment that impressed you? did anyone impress you? did you hear concrete ideas that you think are going to stick with the american public? >> i tell you, substantive thought, i was impress with the exchange, a very good one between desantis and haley. i mean, haley's chops have always been noted for what she did at the united nations, but desantis came up with some pretty good statements regarding foreign policy, thoughtful statements about how he would look at things. and by the way, some of his stuff was not going to go over well. he was very cautious about ukraine. a lot of people there would say, no, we need to go forward with ukraine. i'm not suggesting what he said was right or wro

joining me now is one of the candidates, vivek ramaswamy. thank you so much for joining me.first question is about lawmakers in washington who are resisting calls for a ceasefire, a lot on the republican side. the president has now endorsed a pause to get hostages out of gaza. do you support calls for either a ceasefire or a pause? >> my view on this is a little bit different than candidates in both major parties, dana. i think israel has an absolute right to its own national self-defense. what hamas did to israel was medieval, it was subhuman and israel absolutely has a rights to exist. that was the founding vision of israel is that it would defend itself without relying on the west or the united states or europe or anybody else for their fleeting sympathies. so our job is to let israel defend itself to the fullest, but conversely i would have the u.s. stay out of it militarily as well. that respects israel, it respects america first and i think that that's best for both countries and that's how i would lead. >> you have taken a different stance than most if not all of your
