but tim scott? arthel: hang on syrup got to go. but to your point though can donald trump get reelected if he does not have a well defined platform and if he continues talking about what happened at that .4 years ago? what's it got harder and harder for him to maintain this lead without flushing out these general ideas. you start skipping primary debates of the candidate to have a better chance to define themselves to voters. donald trump remains anonymous on these issues. i do think donald trump's lead will start to fall apart once we start having the set pieces like debates and forms. via alright sarah bedford we're going to leave it there but thank you very much for joining us, take care. and don't forget fox news will host the very first gop primary debates on august 23 with bret baier and mark mccallum moderating live from milwaukee. mark your calendar. ♪ the song at the videos not directed at one particular person but ultimately what i seeseewhen i turn on the tv whis people acting completely ridiculous, right? nor is it some

the other thing about tim scott, just from the trump standpoint.ald trump is not attacking tim scott, he told his team he does not want to go after him, he likes him a lot aot and beli he's someone who could serve in his administration. and you're seeing a lot of candidates afraid to go after tim scott. >> yeah, i mean, he's liked but also trump looks at him and sees maybe in administration or vp. >> right. >> one of the things that happened over the last couple of days, tucker carlson and mike pence on the same stage. this does not go, i think, the way mike pence wanted to. >> united states of america needs to continue to project strength but let me say one last thing -- >> we're running out of ammunition we're sending in cluster bombs. >> the answer is not to shrink -- >> you want to stress that the ukrainians don't have enough american tanks. every city in the united states has become much worse over the past three years. where's the concern for the united states in that? >> anybody that says that we can't be the leader of the free world and sol

new headline in the hill talked about tim scott and we know tim scott's campaign is about unity of americae guy tim scott can slay trump and win the nomination. if you talk to tim scott, his campaign strategy is that he's running against himself essentially, not concerned about other people in this race, he wants to talk about greatness of america, inspiration of america, his family's story and get elected based on that premise, ainsley. tim scott was appoint by nikki haley and when jim demint stepped down, nikki haley put him in, he is running against haley. tim scott, who can't get along with him. everything, before he speaks, he thinks, how would god want me to respond. he breathes and sleeps the scripture and knows the bible like the back of his hand. he bought his mom a house and car. his phrase is from cotton to congress, he is great grandson of slaves, mom is a single mom, his story is incredible. will he be the nominee? i don't think so, he is not polling as high as donald trump or desantis. will he be vice president? will he be president one day? >> joey: right now seems like the

do you see yourself with tim scott? a good guy, we did opportunities together, one of the most successful economic things done in this country and tim is very good. i could see tim doing something with the administration. he's in right now campaigning and i'm sure tim and everybody else, i'm interested in one. tim is talented guy. >> brian: robert o'brian. senator tim scott and the president met often and opportunity zone had private banks to invest in underserved communities and tim scott helped bring that in and grow and they would build housing people could afford to live in unlike forcing them out. there is a sub-plot. tim scott was asked about this with neil cavuto and was undecideds. >> i will continue to run this race for one objective, it is to be the president of the united states. i did not enter this race to become in second place. second place is first loser. i am doing this 100% and we're focused on next generation of stories of the american dream make my pale in comparison. >> brian: senator tim scott says

i know she's a home girl there because she was governor but tim scott is -- i believe tim scott is number three or number four after desantis. but the fact that she came in strongly should be a concern to a lot of people in the trump camp. again, it is her home state, one would expect that. tim scott showed well in iowa by the way. so people in the second tier after trump and desantis are beginning to make very strong movements in certain areas and if they continue to show strong movement, i think it will put a little fire behind trump to get involved in the debates but if keeps that 45 to 50% lead that he's been having in most of these states, i have a feeling he's going to stay out of it but that's just my feeling. rachel: if he doesn't show up to the debate i don't know who is going to watch the debate. i mean, he's sort of the big draw. so that's a problem for them if he doesn't show up just in terms of eye balls. i want to move to another topic with you, david, which are gas stoves. as you know, have been attacked. i think this is a war on modern life, war on family. now they're movi

>> yeah, look, i mean, that's tim scott, you know.ost people can understand. probably gives a little bit too much grace to ron desantis. that's who he is. everybody has a bad day. sometimes you wind up praising slavery. that's a little bit more than a bad day. but it's deeply offensive what desantis is saying. take, i don't know, child sexual predation and traffics, which is something that the right-wing is concerned about. what i say, you know, maybe your piano teacher molested you but you learned how to play the piano. your football coach molested you, but you learned how to throw a football. that's tone deaf and horrible but that's what desantis is doing. and i think it should be disqualifying. the party of lincoln should not have someone apologizing for slavery anywhere near them. >> tonight is the lincoln dinner and the campaign that tim scott promised to run is a positive one. it's so in contrast to some of the ads we have seen from other pacs, but he is rising in the polls. can you win on a message like that? >> i hope so. and

tim scott has that.ikable, utterly likable, he is optimistic, and i think he has the potential to have a moment. he is the kind of candidate who i think could catch fire in a debate. i do not think he becomes the nominee, but i think you can have a moment, and in the question i think will be, does donald trump turn on him the way he went after ben carson in 2016, or does tim scott, i think he's potentially in the running to be a running mate for donald trump. >> i think we are going to see, because if you're just a large, people going up and down throughout the next several months. but again, that core base that supports donald trum does not seem to be going anywhere. so, you may see nikki haley, you may see tim scott sort of go up and down and up and down, but that core base, they still want trump. >> given that,enor romney put out a -- in the wall street journal speaking to everyone who is not named donald trump, and essentllsaying of all these people say in the race, you are into see a repeat of 2016.

the other interesting thing is tim scott. you hear so much buzz about tim scott.a second look particularly lace like iow he is a man of real deep faith, and he can speak the bible he can speak jesus. i know you're a preacher's kid, i'm a preacher's kid too. i suspect there could be some sort of tim scott boom lit at some point. this might be the beginning. >> i'm glad you brought that up because i wanted to play something that tim scott said yesterday in iowa. it was specifically about what we saw in florida last week where they changed the education standards, questioning whether or not slaves got skills, useable skills when they were slaves. tim scott pushed back on that in a big way. >> there is no silver lining in freedom, in slavery. the truth is anything you can learn, any benefits that people suggested they got during slavery, they would have had as a free person. i would hope that every person in our country and certainly running for president would appreciate that. people have bad days, sometimes they regret what they say, and we should ask them again to

however, i think if tim scott stays within that five-point margin then the ability for tim scott to gobility for him to say i am a confident conservative, i am the only united states senator running with a 97% voted with donald trump record. i am a christian conservative and stand for these things. he goes in the household of new hampshire and does really well and then comes back to south carolina. he and nikki haley are coming up to the same 10%, i do think he has the opportunity to catch fire because he has a story to tell. whether or not the republican party actually votes for a black man to be the nominee is a totally different thing. >> the that tim scott and ron desantis have that is a little different is ron desantis has tried to fashion himself to be a lot like trump. when the moment comes he is going to have to spell it out. tim scott is different from trump. you just know it listening to him. the way that he carries himself, his demeanor and the way he talks, his focus on optimism, no one is confusing him. he doesn't have to distance himself. >> so let me just action, a used

tim scott is running ads in iowa. he will be in davenport tomorrow and will return later in the month for governor reynolds. scott and chris christie say they bot have 40,000 individual donors a, key threshold to qualify for the presidential debate next month. with the strong religious republican bait, mike pence and indiana native chose iowa to launch his campaign. iowa's legislature just passed the six-week abortion ban, a policy pence has previously said he supports. tomorrow morning nikki haley and vivek ramaswamy will hold campaign events in iowa. in the evening, asa hutchison has a v.f. fund raiser in demains. neil? >> neil: thanks for that. one of those presidential candidates, crisscrossing not only iowa but everywhere. will hurd, the latest entrant. he joins us right now, the former texas congressman. very good to have you, sir. >> hi, neil. always a pleasure to be on with you. >> neil: let me get to what governor reynolds wants to do, ready to sign, some legislation that really limits the ability to have an a

i agree with tim scott about the new standards in florida. i think that what they have done is wrong. worse yet, what i really criticize, governor desantis for, he said i didn't have anything to do with it and i department know anything about it. that's not leadership. that's looking out what's going on in your state and saying you're not responsible when you're the governor. look, on nikki haley and tim scott, look, i was disappointed with tim when he said the president was not responsible for what happened on january 6. the president invited all those people to washington, said it was going to be wild. then when he got there, they got there, he repeated the lie that the election was stolen and we know it was not. and then he asked all of them to march up to capitol hill and said he would march with them except we know if donald trump is in danger of breaking a fingernail, he won't do it. he went back to the safety of the white house. sent those people up to capitol hill and said mike pence needed to do what he needed to do or he was a disap

tim scott has that. tim scott is likable, utterly likable. he's optimistic. potential to have a moment. he's the kind of candidate who i think could catch fire in a debate. i don't think he becomes the nominee. but i think he could have a moment. then the question i think will be does donald trump turn on him the way he went after ben carson in 2016. or does tim scott -- i think he's even potentially in the running to be a running mate for donald trump. >> sure. although i think we're going to see because the field is so large people going up and down throughout the next several months. but again, that core base that supports donald trump just does not seem to be going anywhere. so you may see nikki haley, you may see tim scott again sort of go up and down and up and down. but that core base, they still want trump. >> well, gen that, senator romney put o a new op-ed in "the wall street journal" speaking to everyone who is not nameld trump and essentially saying if all these people stay inheace, you'll see a repeat of 2016. donors who are backing someone with

so as long as tim scott holds the line than i think voters in the republican party are fine with him. he starts coming out about some of the draconian policies about education and african american history in the state of florida and what we should do with immigrants then he does not have the nikki haley narrative where he can just disavow his ethnic heritage and just pretend that immigration is that when what she has done in some other candidates in the party. i think that tim scott really does have to decide what kind of candidates he is and he still has never really defined who he is as a man, as a person, especially as an african american. in the republican party. >> all right. that is a whole other block. christina greer, reverend al sharpton, brendan buck as always thank you for coming to the sunday show. we'll be right back. ac but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in

tim scott may be a threat, but tim scott is running for vice president.oks like ron desantis is running for vice president too, because he is afraid, as well as so many of the other candidates, to take on donald trump. i mean, what we are seeing here is profiles and in cowardice from these various candidates. how you can you convince the american people that you have the courage to take on americas enemies if you can't even take on a nearly 80-year-old retiree in florida who is leading the polls for your party. he is you are afraid to take the sky, on and you expected to be the leader of the free world? it is not a relevant realistic campaign strategy. >> well to your point, he, thought to get back on the point. scott, desantis, and all these other presidential candidates were in iowa this week touting family values. but the real front runner, donald trump, appeared before young conservatives at the turning point action conference, where he continued to deploy some really militant rhetoric. so let's take a listen. >> 2024 is the final battle, either you a

what about tim scott? but narrowing the gap and appears to be surging in iowa, i felt his personal story having heard him speak and seeing him in person, his narrative, is very appealing. especially his evangelical roots in a state like iowa and south carolina, of course. >> tim scott is an intriguing candidate to watch in this race, for one specific reason. from the moment of his kickoff and every day since, he's fashioned himself in the mold of the aspirational republican politician. but progressives are not going to agree with any of the ideology of any of the candidates. if you consider donald trump to be a unique threat to the constitution, if you consider ron desantis' culture wars and willingness to abuse some tactics to be a unique threat, among those side, tim scott is setting himself out not as an angry populist, a culture warrior, but as a traditional aspirational republican and spending a lot of money now in iowa, he's starting to let the bank account go a little bit. you're seeing his numbers

another candidate angling to become the republican alternative to trump's tim scott. you mentioned. k a swipe at desantis over florida's new standards for african american history. it suggests enslaved black people develop skills for their own personal benefit. now, scott will participate in next month a gop debate. what are the chances of becoming a competitive challenger to trump for scott? >> they are good -- if scott can take out desantis, a big, if there's a pretty good chance. scott is now getting a second look -- those who are not happy with trump. people don't like descent. is the more they get to know him, the more they don't like him. his efforts to move right. it has made desantis the third or fourth choice with another month or so. can scott take on trump head to head? i don't know. it would matter if the other candidates get out of the race, when they get out of the race. what's interesting to see, scott is the only one willing to take on ron desantis. the other candidates besides not wanting to take on trump, they don't seem to want to take on each other. they are afrai

tim scott has a reputation even within the democratic party of being very likable. like his personality. is there an appetite for a nice guy candidate. might that be the change? >> well, i sure hope so, because as a white house staffer, nikki haley had appointed tim scott to the senate, and we didn't want to lose him, because everybody likes tim scott, but we like him so much that sometimes with e forget that he is smart and shrewd. looking at the comment, he said, hey, press, keep asking ron desantis about this, and let bit the message as he is trying to roll out the desantis campaign 2.0, and really smart and shrewd. >> what about that? desantis has three problems. he has a donald trump problem, and a ron desantis problem, but now he has to deal with tim scott as well. and what about the fact that it is vailed criticism, but criticism nonetheless. >> yeah, it is what we are seeing so often is a fighting among the scrum. if this were the tour de france, the members of the peloton would be fighting about who is coming in second, and not worrying about the leader, bu

we expect tim scott to receive appropriate scrutiny in the weeks ahead. you follow the bouncing ball there, desantis donors meet with scott, desantis campaign swipes at scott. there are few coincidences in politics. so, just how awkward will it be in iowa? with me now, jay michelson, a rolling stone columnist, and david bourbon, a column and former trump campaign advisor, gentleman, i appreciate you being with us, i will ask that you bear with me in the form of multiple-choice questions. >> i love it. >> why are desantis donors sniffing around elsewhere? a? because he is being manhandled by donald trump? b, because of the war on woke? c, because he is awkward? or d, why pick a fight with disney? >> where is all of the above? >> where is all of the above? >> you can pick that. >> you talk about the nbc reporting earlier in this piece here. if you read the memo, the memo itself was an embargo for desantis friends and family that the strategy is to do more earned media, and educate more of the electorate about the benefits of ron desantis, one, he is a veter

from tim scott.donalds, two prominent members of the republican party, who happened to be african american. do democrats, i guess, danielle, dive into the fray? do they take advantage of this division that's happening between desantis and people like tim scott and byron donalds? >> i think it's absolutely important for democrats to take on this agenda, to rewrite a public school curriculum, right? i think this is incredibly problematic and what we've seen is wrong desantis uses the state of florida as a petra dish. other republican governors use his methods in their own states, and it becomes a domino effect of lies that we are going to spread around our country, using our public school system as a weapon. so yes, i do think it is important that democrats lift up this divide, that is obvious. that finally, about two black members within the republican party that's have a platform are speaking out against this erasure that we are seeing state-by-state, led by ron desantis. >> danielle, i've got about

question number two, why is tim scott a unique threat to ron desantis? is more likable if you believe that. b, he represents the new republican party? c, because south carolina is a key early state? d because he has some establishment support? there are people in the senate who likes him. >> it's also want to see not. he is not a strident culture warrior. we are talking before he came on, his positions actually are on the conservative end of the party, but he is not staking out this kind of a very coarse position like desantis did. so he has got a softer touch, a more appealing personality. he has a very compelling personal narrative. >> that's progressive are you more scared about tim scott? >> absolutely. i'm scared and not scared. it's tough for progressives in this election. on the one hand, right, you want to keep the white house. on the other hand the risk of getting donald trump as the nominee is so terrifying, it keeps me up at night. >> you could vote for cornell west, he's going to be good. >> i want to jump ahead to some reporting from isaac o

tim scott is polling well. he does have the resources.ey is getting too, there's too many in the race and too crowded and tees up donald trump all over again, picking off a large field. what do you think of that? some for the better part of the party should go, step down. >> i don't agree with him. i think tim scott is the kind of guy to know him is to love him. you have to realize, he started three months ago. look where he is now. he's third in iowa. number 2 is cutting back his staff by a third. this guy is the real deal. he understands what is going on. i had some major issues when we talked to tim in the beginning. i met him a bunch of times. abortion. no republican can be elected to national office unless they believe in a 15-week abortion window. his view on the ukraine where i built three orphanages and 130 ambulances, he understands defense and he understands energy. he is surging right now. and everybody i talk to tells me the same thing. they're looking for somebody. i think tim is the man. >> neil: judging by the polls, andy a

can tim scott sustain that barrage of attacks that is almost ctaly coming.s not been tested between the senate races. >> let's put the iowa horse race number back up just to show, again, how far ahead donald trump is. jeremy, i also want to talk about the debate, and the big open question right now beyond who is on the stage whether donald trump is going to agree to go. this poll, it's a fox busine poll, showed something really interesting. people in wa said that it shows weakness if a person, aka donald trump, skips the debate. south carolina, same thing. pretty much almost 6 in 10 of the people responding to this poll say it would make him look weak. >> i would be curious what breakdown of those who said no supporting trump or not already, right. >> we know how much support he has. >> yeah. but l donald trump has skipped debates before. he did this in 2016 and didn't have a huge impact on him. i'm of the belief it won't hurt him that much if he doesn't go. that being said, there are some voters for whom this will show they will believe that this shows weak

tim scott is one of them.ere's what he had to say about that. >> there's no silver lining in slavery. what slavery was, was really about separating families, about mutilating humans, and raping their wives. it was just devastating. people have bad days. sometimes they regret what they say. we should ask them again to clarify their positions. >> he says there's no silver lining in slavery. then ron desantis today in iowa went after him. let's listen to him. >> part of the reason our country has struggled is because d.c. republicans all too often accept false narratives, accept lies that are perpetrated by the left. >> i don't think it's a false narrative. we just read the curriculum out loud. it exists in there. what do you think, coleman? >> i think it is a false narrative. i think desantis is right on this one. if you look at the whole curriculum, it requires teaching the, quote, harsh conditions and their consequences of slavery -- this is a 200-page document. not all of those pages were about slavery, but i

. >> well, tim scott is certainly rising in the polls.ier republican candidates are started attacking him. people like nikki haley and mike pence. the polling doesn't lie. david is right. people need to get on that debate stage. the question 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

he has not gone after tim scott in any way shape or form, tells you two things he wants tim scott theace for as long as possible because that just away from ron desantis but maybe also eyeing up tim scott has been a vp candidate. no one really talked much about mike pence at the stage in 2015, that your vice president right there. who knows. getting back to the debate aspect of this, donald trump did not debate before the iowa caucuses. a couple days beforehand. ted cruz ended up winning iowa in 2016. the possibility of him not doing this is there because he has done it before. but since when does donald trump back down from a fight. tomi: he's not backing down. have to crack the record. his ego as someone else said, is the front runner. this is not chemistry, biology, ego. this is math. and right now he's looking at the math. i was a put the math aside and show up so the voters can suss out who they want to support. he actually is saying why do i need to be at a place where they are. i think because there are a few of the other people are going to make it to the second or third debat

this thought process maybe there should be a rally around tim scott. could see that in the next quarter or so, but he still has a long way to go to get back up in those it is still early in the race. you have to see some sort of movement by him and look, a lot of people like him i think donald trump in way likes him, right you don't see a lot of attacks from donald trump against tim scott. maybe down the road as a vp play that he could go down. we don't know yet. he's still somebody that wealthy donors are looking at going maybe this is somebody we can get behind instead of ron desantis in the next quarter. >> we'll see could be a big swing i don't think he's gotten a nickname that has to be a good sign thanks. >> i think you're right. >>> we have a market flash on fedex and frank holland has it hi, frank. >> hey, tyler, fedex announcing it appointed a new cfo for the company. the previous cfo announced he would resign at the end of july last month the new is john detrick, former executive officer at atlas air worldwide. he will become cfo august 1st.

the estee lauder guy met with tim scott and ken griffin left chicago.arted hedge fund citadel and bought property in palm beach and moved to miami. i think they will support who wins the primary, they are pushing the one they like now. >> brian: not one side will go the whole way. they will have ups and undoes. no one has seen anything like donald trump, twice indicted, dominating every news cycle and by having 30 to 40% lead. they are waiting to see if any court cases will stop him in his tracks. so far it let him dominate. whether people feel stalwart to back him, he dominates. the field freezes and they concentrate on donald trump's reaction and size of the crowd, instead of talking about who they are, which is typically the way things are done in the past. tim scott seem to be getting centers, but for desantis, seems his group is starting to say issue put him in adversaryial situations where he might have people challenge him more because in the past, it is a great formula, he excels when he's challenged. if you remember 60 minutes and reporters goi

>> well, everyone watching the show tonight can go to vote tim scott. i know the best is yet to come and make a contribution. the way to win this is doing what we have seen works in iowa new hampshire and south carolina optimistic positive message anchored in conservatism with a backbone is bringing people who our rallies bringing them to our town halls and we are having a serious conversation about the windshield of america's america future and not the rear view mirror of america's past. that message is not only resonating will it's actually increasing the enthusiasm we are experiencing. >> are you a better human being than donald trump? >> i think we all have intrinsic value in the eyes of god. here's what i can tell you. i believe i have the ability to persuade the independents and perhaps even a few democrats to join the common sinks movement and the great opportunity party so i'm going to keep my focus not on me or any other candidate but on why we need to make a proposition to the american people that tomorrow can be better than today and today is

here is how they describe tim scott's remarks.was senator tim scott of south carolina focused on his history, describing his upbringing with his parents and the lessons they taught him. his grandfather taught him lessons, to kneel to the father in prayer and stand for the flag in respect. he said son, you can be bitter or get better, but you cannot be both. these were valuable lessons. scott said he also learned his values from his mother, who worked long hours as a nurse's aide. she taught me there is dignity in all work and if you are able-bodied in america, you work. if you take out a loan, you pay it back. if you commit a violent crime, you go to jail. if god made you a man, you play sports against men. that is the recap of tim scott's remarks. we also received a text message from florida. definitely for trump. he was the best president we have ever had and the only candidate who can clean up our corrupt government and bring back our great country. we have a little more time to hear more from you, republicans and independents

tim scott's campaign manager put out the note that the scott campaign had raised $6 million in the second quarter. they have got a total war chest at this point of $21 million, which is great. and, you know, there's the metric where if you want to get on the stage you have got hit 40,000 unique donors. tim scott so far has 53,000 unique donors. and some of the donors are very, very rich. like one of tim scott's wealthy donors is be oracle founder larry ellison. >> ainsley: that means he qualifies for the first debate. in order to qualify 1% and 40,000 in donations. 1% in three of the polls. three eligible polls. and chris christie, he has to still garner that 1% support. he has in one poll. he reached 3% in the morning consult poll but he needs two more qualifying polls. >> brian: who else have you got? desantis in. vivek ramaswamy is. in nikki haley is in and governor chris christie feels like is he going to get there. >> ainsley: did you say trump? >> brian: trump i don't think is he going to go. last word is he is not going to go to the first two debates. doesn't look like he is going

here is how tim scott responded. here he is. >> there is no civil lining in slavery. slavery, slavery was really about separating families, about mutilating humans and it was devastating. i would hope that every person in our country and certainly running for president, people have their bad days and we should ask them again to clarify their position. >> there's no silver lining in slavery should be something that doesn't need to be said in 2023. i'm glad he said it the way he said it right there. keep in mind they're all convening tonight in iowa, the lincoln dinner, the party founded by abraham lincoln and others as an anti-slavery party. whatever tactical decisions they make about donald trump you have to have moral clarity. let us have faith, virtues that seem to be lost in our politics. >> it sounds like you know a thing or two about abraham lincoln. >> what stands out is not only what he is saying, right, and why we want to hear that from him but also the fact he is serving up on a silver platter for ron desantis the chance to try to fix this. the question is, w

not a tim scott, but at kamala harris?> i think part of the reason our country has struggled is because d.c. republicans, all too often, except false narratives. they accept a lies that are perpetrated by the left. to accept the lie that kamala harris has been perpetrated, even when that has been debunked. that's not the way you do. at the way you do, at the way you lead, is to fight back against the lies. it's to speak the truth. >> and intentionally mispronounce in her name like he does. joining us now, msnbc political contributor and editor at large for the 19th. i know you're just as annoyed as i am that he does that. as a general concept though, are you surprised to see black republicans, especially tim scott publicly calling out rhonda santas and taking a stand on his race wars? >> i don't know surprised, katie, but it is interesting. you do have black republicans, black -- like tim scott, the lone black republican in this field, speaking about this curriculum. he's not getting much supporter company from his colleag

meaning tim scott in new hampshire versus someone else. >> sure. criss-crossing each of those states over the course of the year and they had to pick one. i think is absolutely essential, though, that they are all in one of those two states. what you're really seeing here is with donald trump, right, it's no longer about policy when you think about his hold on that primary base. >> why he's in bedminster. >> this is about a cultive personality. they can't go out there and do soaring speeches and have debates. they've got to go from barbecue to parade to festival to everything in between and actually talk to people and show that they are a human being, something actually that some of these candidates struggle with. ron desantis in particular. the other interesting thing associated with all these events is that they're always one step away from incredible embarrassment. in a day and age when everyone has a camera, you know, that they're going to eat that hot dog and potentially it gets all over their shirt -- >> we're also in the age in the end of sh

and, look, on, you know, nikki haley and tim scott, look, i was disappointed with tim when he said thatresident was not responsible for what happened on january 6th. the president invited all those people to washington, said it was going to be wild. then when he got this, they got there, he repeat the lie that the election was stolen, and we mow that it was not. hen -- then he asked all of them to march up to capitol hill and said he would march with them, except we know if donald trump's in danger of breaking a fingernail, he's not going to do it. so he went back to the safety of the white house, sent those people up to capitol hill and told them mike pence needed to do what he needed to do or he was a bit appointment to all of us, and then finally, he sat for hours in his dining room at the oval office and did absolutely nothing. now, i don't know if that makes him criminally responsible or not, but it sure as hell in my book makes him morally responsible. and knowing tim scott as well as i do, neil, what a good man he is -- and he is, a good man and i consider him a friend -- i just

it's tim scott at 89%. that's higher than donald trump's 82%, and ron desantis' 81%. the question is, will scott move up in the polls, the better known he becomes? and i want you to take a look here. this is iowa, new hampshire, fresh polling out over the last week. look, donald trump is still well ahead in both of these states, but look who rounds out the top three. it's tim scott who's moving up in the polls. this is the question, will this two-way race become a three-way race, especially as a lot of republicans have soured a little bit on ron desantis in this race. >> fascinating, harry, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> the extreme heat posing problems in more ways than one, including increasing the tick population. how to best protect yourself and your family. that's next. >>> a nightmare in greece as a massive wildfire forces thousands of residents and tourists to back up and leave, all just at a moment's notice. we'll take you there, just ahead. ♪ it takes two to make it outta sight ♪ ♪ onene, two, get loose now ♪ ♪ it takes two to make a... ♪ stay t two ni

that check balance very true by senator tim scott. side note, this one is for you, tim scott.ou are not just nice. don't stop with desantis. some free political advice for you. trump, crimes, mob. it's gonna blow your mind might give you some ideas. we'll see what you do in the next few weeks. this week, desantis also somehow managed to hit the double whammy, angry into different political constituencies at the same time. republicans who are anti-conspiracy theorist, and republicans who are anti democrat. when he floated a position in his administration for presidential candidate and noted anti vaxxer rfk junior, and even try to walk it back since then but it was so ridiculous that mike pence took a swing. mike pence. well we're handing out political advice, mike pence, we know you have it in you as well. deep down in. you somewhere. your homework is to google january six and hang mike pence. wasn't great. if you like you of all people have the right to point that out. were frequently out on the campaign trail and the roldan drive hadn't all that. so desantis is floundering in

what do you think about tim scott and chris christie, or is there anybody else? >> yeah, there are several. i mean, i've never really bought the desantis thing for a number of reasons. one is if you have a choice between a replica, you know, a new and improved maga trump kind of guy, you know, people want the real thing. they have made that clear. they don't want the new and improved product. >> no one liked new coke when it came out. >> exactly. he is the new coke of the republican party right now. the second element is, you know, his one critique of trump is that he's a loser, but he won't even acknowledge that trump lost. and i don't think that is lost on people. you know, he is coming across as a politician and trump's supporters don't view him as a politician. they view him as an anti-politician, they view him as the leader of a movement, and it's hard to be a conventional politician. by the way, you know, he announced that he is going to do this reboot, and he's going to become lean and mean at a meeting of his high dollar donors in utah. and that's exactly

but kudos to tim scott and everybody else who is stepping up.his is an issue that republicans need to run clear away from him hold the fact that slavery is terrible, awful, it is a terrible stain. it is the most inhumane thing we can do and move on to the topics of today. >> they write the roles of the curriculum. i know that is what his office has been highlighting. members of that group created this and talk about the benefit of it. the idea that this is something republicans are arguing over and that candidates on the 2024 campaign trailer being asked about in 2023. >> member, with desantis, it started in february when the african-american ap class said no, we are not doing the ap class. 18 under states have denounced african-american history and that it was banning books. then it was banning college- level courses. first of all, the fact that we are having to say slavery was bad in 2023 is pretty astonishing, particularly for those of us that in our own families, our personal stories and know the horrors that they endured during slavery. the

governor desantis at 13% the states current senator tim scott at 10%.rse a lot can happen between now and the debates. certainly between now the first primary contest of 2024 but we are tracking every detail for you prejudging us now is one of the contenders republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy. vivek loo welcome back to "fox s sunday." because it is good to be on, shannon. also these polls got iowa. you are in fourth place there'd trailing the present by four hundred and 40 points, the former president. kind former president trump and still in single digits but let's move to iowa there you are in sixth place 45 points behind president trump, single dish. rival campaign say these early states show you cannot really take off it appeared that you are not connecting with people. one of the rival campaigns gives this quote vivek is like the beta cycle by you at a restaurant for they make noise, look exciting, the fun place but if you order it's too much and too annoying to assemble you wish you would have just order tacos. the articles going to
