what do you think vivek ramaswami would say?aign, trump voters would be sympathetic to the fatty wants to pardon him but we need more options for young voters and young republicans who are pretty alienated by trump. someone who can put one foot in and appeal to young voters, might be a little more independent, by saying i will support trump if i become president, that's a nice way to balance it. dave: alienated towards biden, not just because of the age thing but his policies. has policies have been destructive with economic views of the future particularly those in the elderly population who are worried about their retirement, some have to take two jobs, come out of retirement to make ends meet. what about jen's hes for biden? >> a misconception that we mindlessly go. down the ticket no matter who and if you look at the approval ratings the biggest drop was among jen's thes. we are not just mindlessly saying we like the democrats and this is who we like and who we are good with. we want more options and are more independent tha

we are on the same wavelength. >> host: vivek ramaswamy on fox news last month. phone lines split a bit different this morning, 202-748-8000 if you're 18-25. 202-748-8001 if you're6 26-55 d if you're over 55, 202-748-8002. we will head went out to hawaii, john is up this morning over 55. good morning, john. what theis gentleman's time has expired. is it in hawaii? >> guest: let me look real fast. it's 1:34 around their. >> host: thanks for being up late at night. what do you think about this age changed to vote? >> guest: well, i mean, i that this is just another way that the republicans are trying to suppress the vote. you know? to me if they want to raise the age, then when you get to old, then let's hit it that way, you know what it means? sorry bout that, i'm kind of nervous here. but anyways, if you are too old, you start to lose a certain cognitive faculties and stuff like that. then maybe you shouldn't be able to vote if you are around 75. i think it should be lowered, and if it's not lowered, then leave it the way it is. thank you for taking my call. >> h

joining me is republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy.. before you heard details of the allegations in the trump indictment you put out a statement saying if you would become president you would pardon donald trump on day one. now you've seen the allegations and you've seen that he stored highly classified information like nuclear secrets and others in unsecured areas of his country club. given everything that you've seen, do you stand by your promise to pardon him if he's convicted? >> reading that indictment and looking at the selective omissions of both fact and law, dana i'm even more convinced that a pardon is the right answer here. >> why? >> the top question actually question should be asking is what did biden tell merrick garland and what did merrick garland tell zack smith because it's deeply politicized and not a single mention of the records act and selective statements from president trump's, and statements on the campaign trail in 2016 about classification and how he'd treat it without one mention that after he was elected in

. >> joe: vivek ramaswamy, tim scott and ron desantis making the same argument, this indictment and thesen we talk about alvin bragg, jack smith, is weaponization of the justice department toic taout a political opponent during a presidential campaign. you can talk about what is in the indictment and how they can be trouble some for donald trump, timing is one thing and then the fact there are rules for t, as in trump issue not for b as in biden or c as in clinton as far as classified documents and having them in various places, particularly with hillary clinton, they were accessed by foreign adversaries, it is an argument vivek ramaswamy is making and nobody has run a better campaign during this presidential primary system than vivek ramaswamy. and i can't wait to see him on the debate stage. this election is shaping up the way joe biden and the democratic party wanted in terms of media coverage. focus on donald trump and not policy on trade, immigration, border security, education, legal trouble and zero focus on joe biden's record when it comes to inflation, wages not keeping up, crime

republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy joins me now. vivek, good to have you with us. >> good to see you. >> martha: you're moving around quickly. you were down in miami and now here this afternoon. thanks very much. let's listen to you earlier today. watch this. >> what did biden tell jack smith? what did biden tell merrick garland? what did merrick garland tell jack smith? >> martha: that's an important question. the president has said we have nothing to do with this. they're doing your thing. what exactly are you looking for, hoping for and do you think you'll get it? >> i expect to. the law require these government agencies including doj to comply with the freedom of information act request. i want to be clear. it would be easier for me if president trump were eliminated from competition in this race. but i want to stand on the side of principle to do what so many in the mainstream news media refuse to do, which is to be skeptical. get to the bottom of what as i see as a politicized indictment. what made me take that step. i did rea

please i want to go to a different little candidate now, vivek ramaswamy, just to hear his words on whatwould do i he were president. and he was a litmus test for al the other gop candidates. look at this piece the news media should be doing this. it is a shame that a competitor to donald trump in this electio has to do the job of the political news media longer you job, if you have one, is to hol the us government accountable for their lies. you do not take what they say a face value for the last eight years when it was president trump. do not take their lives at face value now. but it is a shame that easily outside of the media to stand up. >> harris: cayleigh. >> politically very smart move for vivek ramaswamy putting the onus on all the other candidate saying, hey, i am helping the former president. what will you get do? we set up -- nearly 80 percent or higher of republicans say they keep their view of this -- of trump the same -- it might b higher than 80 percent but that is a smart move politically, number 1, for vivek ramaswamy. numbered two the thing and so that he did his he sa

vivek ramaswamy went to north philly.ys off with voters because you can learn more from talking to a homeless guy than you can talking to a donor at a san francisco fundraiser like joe biden is doing. joe biden has been to ukraine. other than that, he drove an electric car once. he hasn't really shown the ability -- >> jeanine: he drove an 18-wheeler, too? >> jesse: excuse me. in order to govern in america, you have to experience america, the good, the bad, the ugly. crime, homelessness, narcotics, the border, these are flash points. you have to physically go there and tap into the emotion. talk to an addict, nurse, refugee, breathe that air. bring the press corps to breathe that same air. they'll cover you differently when you interact in a compassionate way. and maybe they'll cover you in a different way knowing where you've been. joe biden has not tapped into that kind of emotion. these other candidates are doing it and voters respect that. >> jeanine: ok. all right. coming up, brand new details on the frantic search f

why vivek ramaswamy welcomes them all. he has a plan to beat them all including the two big elephants in the room, donald trump and ron desantis. given the recent poll numbers robert kennedy, jr. hardly sounds like a candidate that can't win. his campaign manager, dennis kucinich, yes, dennis kucinich. what he says. thanks for cheryl casone who filled in ably yesterday. to manchester, new hampshire and parade of candidates teeing off this week. let's go to alexis mcadams who is there. >> reporter: neil, it is getting crowded in the race for president. former new jersey governor chris christie is throwing his hat in the ring. he will announce at this building behind me at a town hall tonight. we'll get more in a minute. he will get on the stage tell all the voters in the room, across the country, he has exactly what it takes to take on former president donald trump to go head-to-head with him in the debate stage. this is expected to kick off around 5:30 or 6:00 he is expected to show up. he will take that stage during the t

aishah: vivek ramaswamy was just on with us on "fox news live" and basically saying president obama,ormer president, this idea of calling out minority gop candidates for their view that minorities can get ahead in the u.s. is a racist idea. so let's listen. >> i think that predicting what someone's views are based on the color of their skin, that is racist. that is psychological slavery. and i reject that view. aishah: what do you think of that? >> i think americans are ready to move on from these labels that the democrats have been throwing at everybody whether it's racist or anything else. we need to get back to a merit-based society where parents are able to get their children education, to get them tools to succeed not only domestically, but on the international stage. and when politicians try and say that a certain candidate because of his or her race, that doesn't subscribe to a certain point of view is racist, i think it really does a disservice to the american people and the political dialogue we need to have in 2024. if we want to move this nation forward, we need to talk ab

vivek ramaswamy is here, and him on the record in just a moment. but fox team coverage begins now. an update on china's aggression. >> john: first america's energy dependence put to the test, jeff flock in new jersey, how is this going to impact us here at home, jeff? >> as the tracks go by to the refinery, john, yes, pbf refinery, always the perfect time this. is where they are bracing for what could be an increase in oil prices, certainly they were up this morning on the cme in chicago, up by about $3, down a little bit now from that high, but still higher and why is that? well, that's because of the saudi production cut. take a look at gas prices, what we mainly care about and of course as you know, gas prices have moderated lately. we are at 3.55, the average gallon of regular in the u.s. it's been that way the last month, and that's a whole lot cheaper than it was this time last year. the problem with that is now with this production cut by saudi arabia coming at the opec meeting in vienna, when production goes down, prices often go up. the saudis decided to sort of fly in the

>> vivek ramaswamy? >> 37. >> he's a regular on the show, he was just on. smart, engaging young man, unlike you, jeff. >> i think i'd have a better shot at running. i like that guy, he says -- >> lauren, you look like one of the most successful dental hygienists on the planet. >> it's all the coffee i drink. >> talking about the white medical jacket, looks like a medical jacket. probably shouldn't have pointed that out. >> you don't like it. >> greg: you are a business genius, how long can it go on before we feel it? are we already feeling it? >> i think so, 75 billion plus and counting. now we are getting ready for the counter offensive and we just heard from president zelenskyy, he says, we are ready, lessen our hopes. be patient, it will take more than you think. i am behind ukraine, i want them to win, is the cost worth the victory? he's prepping us, we'll be in this longer than thought. what does victory look like? no one has defined that yet. >> greg: both sides are willing to throw bodies at it and russia has more bodies. >> greg: kat, you told me yo

made a lot of peopleepublica know who vivek ramaswamy was before he announced for president. he's impressing a lot of people by being articulate and being smart and by him elevatingg ar himself beyond the pettyticu back and forth. a lot of people are becoming more impressed. beyond the pt a lo more people's second choice. and there's the benefit that you have these other republican candidates going after the front runner. and vivek ramaswamy not taking any shots or a tim scott not taking any of the other shotese s. it ends up elevating their candidacy. so it's a smart strategy. and then one other pointnt i would add to it, understanding why the media has been going i uld add after this, these points of these republican presidential candidates is their business model. their audience is soun far deranged and insisting that hosts obsess over this anti-trump obsession. they arethe audi feeding their e with it as well. >> well, mardience wk, i do thik there's a serious, really serious point to be made here, b public trust in our institutions. you haveou to have trust that lw enfor

vivek ramaswamy, who is running for president and for gop nomination this weekend took the media to task over coverage of the former president's indictment. let's watch. >> with due respect, it is shameful i as a competitor in this race have to ask questions the media is not asking. the media is to hold the u.s. government accountable and we are doing the bidding of u.s. government. ask the question, get to bottom of what biden told garland, if the same shoe fits the other foot, do not take their word now, get to the bottom and restore journalism in this country, that is missing is getting to the truth. >> thank you. >> harris: what vivek ramaswamy is showing, this is now a gop primary issue and it may come down to money, who can raise the most, as far as he's concerned, he's ready to pardon the president on his first day in office should he get elected. >> kayleigh: why aren't journalists asking what the attorney general knows? it is the key question. here is why. we got rid of independent council stat uts, independent, a special counsel is not. i talked to a former doj official who sai

now this, 2024 presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy calling out donald trump. s campaign press secretary says "vivek believes he can take america first even further than trump and unify the country while doing it by leading with first principles and moral authority, not just vengeance and grievance". martha maccallum joining us this morning. great to see you. is he right? do americans want more than vengeance and grievance? what say you? >> on a base level, most would say yes, they want a lot more than that and vivek ramaswamy is resinating with voters in certain ways and viewers in certain ways and he's a very refreshing entrance to this whole process and but the problem he has and all the candidate haves is the former president is dominating in every poll across the board. 50% in that range is a very formidable lead and has an advantage that many of them don't and he was an in incumbent president and had this abbreviation period and many want to see him win again and these februaries are all up against a very difficult challenge of running against someone with

journalists that carry for the water for the administration in many cases, presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy, made the point yesterday on cnn. >> there's no evidence that president biden has had anything to do with this prosecution. >> with due respect, it's shameful as a competitor to president trump in this race have to ask questions that the media isn't asking. the job of the political media, if it has one job, is to hold the u.s. government accountable. >> yes, we know that. >> instead, you're seeing the media doing the bidding of the u.s. government. get to the bottom of what biden told garland, and garland told jack smith. >> brian: he's taking action. he's filing a freedom of information request to expose the biden communication, if there is any, between all these factions that he just described. vivek, what exactly are you doing? >> my campaign filed a freedom of information act request. i consider it a demand of both the biden white house as well as the biden department of justice to figure out what direct or indirect communications there were between biden, garland, and jack smith.

vivek ramaswamy, republican 2024 presidential candidate. vivek, great to have you on the program. how would you handle this with the developments? >> good to see you. this is one more piece of evidence that russia is likely a paper tiger. the idea that russia has the capabilities that go for poland or other parts of western europe looks increasingly farcical. we need to keep our eye on the prize for the united states and that's deterring chinese aggression and that's the top threat that we face from a foreign policy perspective. what i've said is i would end the russia ukraine war on terms that pulled vladamir putin away from xi jinping and one thing that russia has that's ahead of china and the u.s. is the largest nuclear stockpile in the world, and also hypersonic missile capabilities ahead of both the u.s. and china. that's a valuable asset for xi jinping to have in his back pocket. we can end this war in ukraine with a deal that requires putin to end his military partnership with china. i think that's how we actually achieve american objectives here. rachel: yeah, it's interes

i have grown to respect vivek ramaswamy. i like him a lot. he is serious and substantive. he is running and is passionate and bringing ideas. tim scott, nikki haley. asa hutchinson, not really. chris christie in this pole is at 1%. it seems all he wants to do is go on abc, fake news cnn, bash trump, bash trump and then get into debates in the hopes that he has another opportunity to bash trump to and aggrandize himself. am i wrong? >> you are not wrong. he is indulgent and likes to hear himself talk turkey sucks all the air out of the room. everything else out of the room, obviously. chris christie is doing this for himself. he is doing this because he likes to see himself and likes to talk to cnn and msnbc and all the liberal outlets that hate donald trump. they will put anybody on that will bash donald trump. is not a serious candidate. he will get no votes or support. he wants to get on the debate stage. i don't think it will happen for him. >> mary catherine hamm, donald trump is a serious candidate. ron desantis is. mike pence is. tim scott and nikki haley. i would ad

. >> harris: i do want to take a look at this from republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy spoke on president trump's indictment speaking live moments ago. let's take a look. >> the indictment by the federal department of justice against donald trump. that document wreaks of politization. how are we going to hold the biden department of justice accountable? i submitted a freedom of information act request, a demand to the biden department of justice, demanding what did biden tell jack smith, what did biden tell merrick garland, is if they do not comply with the law in the next 20 business days, then we will sue them in federal courts at our campaign's expense to get to the bottom of those answers. >> harris: vivek ramaswamy announced he will send a letter to other republican presidential candidates asking that they promise to pardon biden if elected and if they don't plan to do so, he said they should be on the record about that and of course ramaswamy has already said he would do that first day, if necessary. brett, your reaction. >> you know, i applaud the position. i thi

later today, we have will hurd, vivek ramaswamy and former u.n. ambassador.t at a vineyard. >> neil: oh, to be you, young man. mark meredith following it all. daniel litman the washington reporter. we have the backdrop of these tapes that have been release and and seem to be damning for the former president. he's sloughing them off. such revelations don't deter him, certainly in the polls. what do you think happens now? >> yeah, i think if you listen to the audio, it's hard for us to make the conclusion, these are just news clippings. he could have easily just given all of these documents back and he would not have had this criminal trial that he's going to face. the issue for republicans challenging him is that we have -- there's been so in trump controversies and scandals. he probably likes to get charged by the federal government because that means the establishment is against him. >> neil: does anybody keep track that his facts are not consistent? in this case, he clearly misrepresented and some would say that he lied? what do you think? >> i think if you

today, in miami, one of trump's challengers vivek ramaswamy echoed his claims. >> when you have a department of justice abandoned own rules of fairness bringing an indictment, that means i don't believe anything that's had even in there. >> trump's long time aide walt nauta was also in the court but did not enter a plea. government accuses him of conspiring with trump to hide documents from investigators. trump did not stay in florida very long. at this hour is he making his way to new jersey and, as you mentioned he will be speaking to his supporters tonight from his golf club in bedminster. also mention something that had happened. fairly peaceful out here for much of the day. it was as the president's motorcade was leaving the federal courthouse that we saw a man dressed in prison gear the black and white stripes try to rush the motorcade. quickly we saw miami police detain the man and try to push him down to the ground but as one of those surreal moments what else can be described, bret, overall as just another is surreal day. >> mark meredith live in miami. mark, thank you. congressiona

no one's going to outwork vivek ramaswamy. thank you, vivek. appreciate it. meanwhile, president trump's indictment will shape the gop nomination race. btwork vig time, but it doesn'te the former president's plans. trump hains vowed to stay in the race even if convicted. how do the charges change his strategy? >> stephen miller is as close to thei know president as anyone i know. he's a former adviser to him through all four years. yeurn tostephen, your reaction e indictment and the official, i guess, arraignment tomorrow. what changes? unmat >> well, this is obviously a tragedy of unmatched propo the proportions in american history, where you have the president o presief the united states trying to incarcerate for life. hi hiss chief political rival and now holding him in front oat a federal court for that purpose. there are not words i strained to find the vocabulary, brian,ua to describe what an unmitigated catastrophe this is. we are witnessing a fundamental change in americans society. ree era of democratic republicanism has une passed away, and now we h

as you noted, some of the candidates have argued like vivek ramaswamy as well that while they agree on the merits with donald trump, they generally think that they would be better candidates and that think some of these things are distractions. >> neil: and vivek ramaswamy wants to see how the other candidates feel about pardoning donald trump should they get to be president. some are not making that leap is. that the new test of metal here? what do you think? >> you rener to one of them there. mike pence. mike pence has indicated that is not something that he would be looking at. chris christie as well has said that. you're right. this will continue to be an issue. there's other outstanding cases that will be decided here including one in georgia. so it certainly is not a one and done this week. >> neil: real quickly on robert f. kennedy jr. he's still polling 16%. he has things that other candidates would crave. that is a high net positive rating at that. what are we to make of that? >> so the democrats i have talked to about that say that that is mostly based on that kennedy name. i

. >> sandra: vivek ramaswamy calling for a different approach to the war on ukraine. he says the u.s. should push to an end to the conflict as soon as possible and focus on confronting china. >> john: self-proclaimed political outsider has announced radical policy ideas, as he tries to make inroads with republican voters. will it make him stand out, we will ask him coming up. >> sandra: as we await that, begin with the leaders of the house oversight committee about to speak in front of those microphones moments from now after finally getting their hands on the infamous fbi whistleblower complaint that allegedly describes a criminal scheme involving then vice president joe biden. hello, welcome, everyone, sandra smith as we kick off a new week here in new york. >> john: busy already, john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." james comer subpoenaed the document in question over a month ago that christopher wray has pushed to keep congress from getting the actual document, arguing it could jeopardize the safety of the source. >> sandra: republicans have coun

we will change gears to have a conversation with presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy who joins us here in new york. also, we'll be joined by some voters that will be asking him some questions point blank. stick around. mara, are you sure you don't want -to go bowling with us tonight? -yeah. no. there's my little marzipan! [ laughs ] oh, my daughter gives the best hugs! we're just passing through on our way to the jazz jamboree. [ imitates trumpet playing ] and we wanted to thank america's number-one motorcycle insurer -for saving us money. -thank you. [ laughs ] mara, your parents are -- exactly like me? i know, right? well, cherish your friends and loved ones. let's roll, daddio! let's boogie-woogie! we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours is spoiling their dogs. good, real food is simple. it looks like food, it smells like food, it's what dogs are supposed to be eating. no living being should ever eat processed food for every single meal of their life. it's amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better. the farmer's dog is

and our next guest, vivek ramaswamy, who is also a 2024 republican candidate, joins us now.h, do you think that is helpful or is that only going to be helpful to donald trump? >> i think it's net helpful. as a candidate myself i welcome the competition. i think more debate, especially on that debate stage starting in august, is going to be good for the republican party, good for our country, defining what we stand for and why we stand for it. so i embrace the competition. i think it makes us better and i'm ready for it. >> do you see chris christie's campaign as some others see it, which is this kind of kamikaze mission to take out trump? >> look, i don't have an analysis of chris christie's campaign on the politics of it. i'm running against christie, trump, desantis and everybody else in this race looking forward. but i will say that a lot of christie's criticism toward trump is his vengeance and grievance and backward-looking attitudes. i don't know that more vengeance and grievance toward trump helps us look forward. the reason i'm in this race, kaitlan, is i think conse

vivek ramaswamy is one of them. be one ofat wouldd presid the first things he would do. i want to talk to you about the speediness, though, because how far short do you fall before the election? . you say, no, we're not going to have a decision in this case. you knowness because, on the evt election, or does that noton matter the? >> well, first of all, in terms of the schedule, you know, you have the sixth amendment itself, but there's actually a federal statut fethat sets the period, and it's generally aroundde 70 days where you need to move in unless there is a waiver that would put a trialr. in august. and yeah, they obviously could y, convict or acquit. you know, donald trump. the the problem is that he's got these threshold challenges to make, and i expect they're going to waiveo e the speedy trial. so once that happens, the cour t is going to get increasingly uncomfortable as these elections approach. singly the department of justice has always maintained that they try no uhese ele t to have these cases interfere with elections. well, this case is going to be one

we expect to hear from gop presidential candidates nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy sen. tim scott larry elder andlarry elder this is live coverage on c-span. >> good morning, james. >> the thing about, it seems like most of these programs they always dress up with a suit then you peel it back and it's corrupt by nature. i am paying off my loan. i pay my kids college tuition off. when i went to college, college was about $24 per credit hour. to go to college, work a part-time job and get a car. that's when public colleges the cost went skyrocket. a lot of minorities getting into college. you needed it to get a good job. that's when the corruption seeped in. you have all these kids coming out of school now on hundreds of thousands of -- owing hundreds of thousands of dollars and they stay at home with their parents and congress is we can't do anything about it. it's not that they can't do anything about it, it's who the recipients are. you have these poor whites, minorities, they say we are not going to take care of them. it's like crack epidemic. they couldn't do nothing

fascinating, more television and reporters outside the courtroom than there are people mulling around, vivek ramaswamy calling for everybody else to say they will pardon the former president. and president trump's comments what he as the presidential records act counteracts the specifics in the indictments, the type of documents they describe here, if true, as listed, include plans to attack iran, don't fall under just pictures that you can take from the oval office or memos or letters for a presidential library. it has a different classification. so, we are going down this road into specifics. but the atmospherics are also part of this. how this defense lays out, how the trump team lays out this defense will be fascinating to see after what's inside this indictment. >> john: we should point out that what we are looking at is the entrance to the courthouse off of miami afternoon, but that's likely not the entrance that the former president is going to go in. he'll likely go in off of northwest 5th street. there's a barricade there and he can go through the back and nobody will see him come in. >> sand
