defense for us. and the problem that vivek doesn t understand, is he wants to let china eat taiwan. he wants to stop funding israel. you don t do that for friends. you have the backs of your friends. ukraine is the front line of defense. putin has said if once russia takes ukraine, poland and the baltics are next. that s a world war. we re trying to prevent war. look at what putin did today. he killed prigozhin. when i was at the u.n., the russian ambassador suddenly died. this guy is a murderer. and you re choosing a murderer over a pro-american country. the last hour, i spoke with cnn s senior political analyst, ron brownstein. and i asked how he thought the candidates performed during last night s debate. tim scott kind of faded into the wallpaper. ramaswamy was erratic and
entrepreneur brawling with pence, christie over ex3)árq ce, foreign policy, trump, china and more. now is not the time for on the job tr. we don t need to bring in a rookie without experience. ú the middle of the stage and said what se! a skinny guy with an o last name doing up here was barack obama, and i m afraid we re dealing with the same type of amateur tonight. the problem that vivek doesn t understand is he wants to hand ukraine to russia. he wants to let china eat thai yan. he wants to stop funding israel. you don t do that to friends. you have no foreign policy experience, and it shows. reporter: on the issue of
he wants to make america less safe. you have no foreign policy experience, and it shows. well, vivek was slammed, as you guys heard there he also got so much time responding on stage because every time his name was mentioned he got to speak yet again. the candidates talked about economy, hot topic for voters who say they are paying more for everything. must reverse bidenomics so that middle class families have a chance at succeeding. we cannot succeed as a country. if you are working hard and you can t afford groceries, a car, or a new home. we also cannot succeed when the congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars, those rich men north of richmond have put us in this situation. but nikki haley pushed back saying it s production fault, not joe biden s. the truth is that biden didn t do this to us. our republicans did this to us, too. when they passed that $2.2 trillion covid stimulus bill, they left us with
we will get to those in a few minutes. really, voters wanted to hear what these candidates were going to do differently for america. they got to hear a little about abortion, economy, some people had some standout moments. during those fiery exchanges most of the candidates on the stage did talk about vivek ramaswamy saying he doesn t have really any experience out there in the political world. that s where ramaswamy prides himself on, listen. now is not the time for on the job training. we don t need to bring in a rookie. the last person in one of these debates, bret, what s a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here was barack obama. and i m afraid we are dealing with the same type of amateur standing on the stage tonight. give me a hug just like you did to obama. ukraine is not a priority for the united states of america. the problem that vivek doesn t understand is he wants to hand ukraine to russia. he wants to let china eat taiwan.
did he come up with that before? did he plan to use that in some capacity. steve: call him a robot. to your point, you don t know how they resonated. drudge has a completely nonscientific poll up right now. the winner, number one, vivek. number two, nikki haley. number 3, chris christie. and number 4 ron desantis. ainsley: all right. that s interesting. but i liked vivek s response was very he was quick on his feet because he said really? you helped observe win when you gave him that hug in new jersey when he came up to help with sandy. so, they both. steve: i was in new jersey he didn t hug him but he had a big handshake. ainsley: he invited him and a lot of people were upset about that, brian. brian: yeah. that was a follow-up i did not here. hear. it was so loud. i thought he re-thought the ai candidate. i don t think he pre-thought said i have a strange last name and skinny guy. that just that is classic
