so let s see what happens on august 23rd. donald trump says i m up by so much do i really need to do this. ron desantis expect everybody to be there governor christie is poking him, calling him a coward if he doesn t show up. everyone needs him there. one of the biggest prize surprises is one of the people that has not qualified yet is vice president mike pence e has not hit the 40,000 threshold with the 1%. he needs 40,000 separate donations. but governor desantis, i guess, is the first mini crisis. got the money. maybe overspent. not resonating like he thought, and has toe rejigger some of his lineup. has to super pacs and start going to hostile territory beginning today and then possibly two or three times after. steve: getting a clear picture of the status of all the candidates right now. over the weekend it was the
four. ainsley: four? steve: four employees. ainsley: what about the small campaign offices around the country. steve: no. four official employees. largely being run out of the white house and the dnc. ainsley: most of the money has been big donors. smaller donors about half of what barack obama had raised during that same time period but money is money. money can buy aldz and money can definitely sway voters. look at ron desantis all over the state of iowa. he said kim reynolds could be as the governor of iowa could be his running mate, could be vice president. he is not ruling out after donald trump was upset with truth social because he endorsed her and he said that she was going to stay neutral. she wasn t going to pick a candidate yet and that upset donald trump. we are going to have her on to talk about this later on in the show. brian: that s one of the weaknesses people have on trump. why are you taking down governor reynolds who just set i m not against you, i jus
best friends that jeff flake has is mike pence e the vice president. so they were very close when they worked together in the house. hopefully that will smooth itself over, over the course of time. it s also signal for some people we like trump works with us on tax reform. we want to see him come to the table and work united moving forward. pete: thank you very much. congratulations on the forthcoming child. i should say grandchild, yeah. todd: jillian mele with the headlines. jillian: what are you laughing at, pete? pete: i said child. i meant grandchild. jillian: we do have serious news to get to now. isis calling on blood thirsty followers to the hunt down nonbelievers. the sick threat coming from propaganda video made isis fighters.
