Fox on top of the great meeting, early indications, nikki haley, chris christie, tim scott and ron desantis have enough juice to fight another way. Take out donald trump . We crunch the numbers, you decide. Welcome, everybody. So much for breaking Ronald Reagans 11th commandment, not speaking ill of fellow republicans, at his president a library and burial site. Madison alworth, who survived the slings and arrows and whos the best at launching . Reporter following their performance at the second gop debate candidates are spending the day defending and pushing forward their positions. They spend some time calling out the front runner, donald trump, for not being in attendance. Iowa, New Hampshire, those voters expect you to show up, to participate in the process. He is running a risk for his candidacy, he would be running a risk by getting on the stage. This guy talking about bad nicknames. I live in his head. He knows what i said last night was true. Thats why he spent most of his time after the debate reacting to stuff i said and attacking me. What he should be doing is getting on the debate stage defending his record. Reporter reaching the next generation of Young Americans where they are. Tiktok is one of the most dangerous social media apps we could have. Every time i hear you i feel a little bit dumber. Reporter when you look at the topics covered last night. Economy was a big point of focus and the southern border, Foreign Policy and relations with china which is why we pulled the soundbite come nikki haley calling out Vivek Ramaswamy on his use of tiktok for his campaign. That is what you heard last night. She had the chance today to clarify and she doubled down on her comments. Take a listen. On a platform that is really controlled by our biggest enemy is not what you need to tell younger people. This is a major espionage tool china is using. It disqualifies him right off the bat. Reporter you talked about the voters is what they get to decide. When it comes to polling they are looking at donald trump are. He was not here, but he had a lot to say ahead of the debate. He said no one on the stage looks like president material, they didnt even look like Vice President material. Neil that is a reaction some would have with that. Thank you very much. The independent womens Foreign Policy president , the democratic strategist and pollster. Let me begin with the one who scored the most points. They trail by a country mile donald trump in every poll. But who made end runs . Nobody. I think donald trump scored the most points by not being there. I thought it was a rather harsh debate. There was a lot of backandforth criticism. A lot of talking over one another and frankly, i dont think too many candidates did themselves very good. Maybe nikki haley, ron desantis, but it is not going to move the holes. Vivek ramaswamy didnt help himself because they ganged up on him. Bottom line, another victory for donald trump is my headline. Neil the next question, who could be the next to fall to the sidelines. Asa hutchinson didnt make this debate. A lot of people say doug burgum might be next to fall off. What do you think . These debates are an opportunity for candidates in the middle to be the most improved. Thats the name of the game at this point, the reason to have these decayed if nikki haley, candidates polling the most number of americans say they dont have favorable or unfavorable opinion of these candidates, thats why would they have these debates to formulate opinions about the middle of the pack, Many Americans have their minds made up when it comes to donald trump. Is on favorability rating, 50 . He is also the candidate with the highest percentage of people saying he is very favorable at 22 . Hes polarizing, the middle of the pack figures got to hang in. I agree with you we will see the lesser candidates roll off. That will consolidate support around these candidates who are framing themselves. Neil i am old enough to remember jimmy carter not just being in the middle of the pack but nowhere to be seen in the pack this time in 1976 when he was running for president. He was polling at less than one person. Polling is nothing like it is, hes fleeting and it is statebystate battle, things could and likely will change. In 1976, in the lincoln reelection campaign. And dont think theres an overarching, on the republican side. The real breakthrough are iowa and New Hampshire. Trumps leaders 25 points, not the 40 to 45 points. New hampshire allows independents to vote in the republican, nikki haley. Lets get to her brass tacks, if trump wins iowa and florida and New Hampshire the race is over. Neil do you agree . I do. Hes got so much of a lead and nothing to gain by attending these debates. Hes doing the smart thing by skipping them. Whats fascinating to me, because of the election of donald trump in the first time, we are seeing more interparty debate over certain issues whether it is economic populism or Foreign Policy home we saw that on display last night. The republican party, where their agenda goes moving forward when it comes to tiktok and National Security and how to address immigration. Very clear where he is going to go on issues but candidates represent a little more diversity on the ideological spectrum and that makes the debate interesting. I could do without the personal insults. Neil i buck consensus, the most successful investors i have known, the traditional route is the one you barth outlined here, Donald Trumps race to lose, that might be the case. Barack obama couldnt win in 2008, john f. Kennedy was too young to run for president and went ahead and did. Jimmy carter, we know what happened. Time and again, to say nothing of donald trump in 2016, the consensus, are you afraid of that . In a friendly way . Always embarrassed. In this case trump has only gotten stronger as more indictments come. Rather than a head to head fight like hillary had with barack obama, in this instance you have seven candidates on the stage last night. It is hard for one or more to breakthrough, i never say never. If someone breaks through in iowa, and New Hampshire, we could have a whole new race, but i am increasingly skeptical that that is going to happen. You are right to make the point you do. It is hard to see how and who will be the vehicle in the state. Neil i think we should bed involving edible treats, burgers and fries, let me fine tune that. Got to back me. Neil we are on. I am in colorado. Jack to feel like him. On a days notice. Neil i could lose the digital tape of this show. Thank you. A lot of issues came up last night. Perhaps this particular one. Take a look. We have to seal the southern border, building the wall is not enough. More ice agents on the ground. President biden should not be on the picket line, working to close the southern border because it is unsafe, wide open. Our laws are being broken every day at the southern border every day. A nation without borders is not a nation. We have to secure the southern border of the United States of america. I know how to do it and we will do it again. Neil i dont know where chad wolf stands on this. I would suspect any one of these candidates views are more favorable to what he has seen out of the white house, he joins us, good to see you. Thanks for having me. Stuart they are talking aggressive action at the border, all but declaring war against the cartels and sending troops to the border to deal with this. What do you think . I think all of them, you heard them all last night, they all talked about it. Its important to them and to the republican primary voters. They all had Something Interesting to say. Theres elements there. It is not just about building the wall, donald trump would tell you that. Thats why we put in place policies that were effective which i would disagree with nikki haley, not sure throwing more agents and money at it is the answer. It is some changing policies down there. Theres a variety of things, different ways you could go but the important thing here is lets change the paradigm thats going on along the border the last 28 months. It is not working, strategy is not working and we need a new approach. Charles President Biden has been largely ignoring whats happening at the border, now getting heat and flak from fellow democrats. Powerful democrats who say he has got to do more. What if he doesnt . The approach he has taken is a more traditional approach when it comes to immigration. Most president s have not really dealt with that, donald trump took it head on. I dont think it is anything unusual. Hes doing the same playbook and strategy others have as well but i think it is becoming a liability. You see polls were 23 of americans viewed his immigration strategy as being successful. Hes getting not only underwater but in the weeds when it comes to this. Folks at the white house are scrambling and the department of Homeland Security scrambling. They will not pool themselves out of what they designed in the matter of months, this is a concerted effort they have to really change the tide if they change these numbers. I dealt with this in 2,019 when we had a crisis. It took 9 to 10 months to change the narrative and to see any improvements. Neil do you think this president ial race is Donald Trumps to lose when it comes to the republican nomination. They were saying pretty much that. I think when the you hear all of those individuals on the stage last night talking about America First policies they talk about it differently from their own unique perspectives but these are policies in the Trump Administration so i have been saying what goes to the original individual that champion those policies in many cases created some new ones including the immigration lane and elsewhere. That is the challenge for them, how to differentiate themselves. Most americans want the America First policies that were so successful, looking to the former president. We 20 great catching you, quick peek, the dow up 65 points. Oil prices above their highs, still above 90 a barrel. We should point out. The concern about a slowing Global Economy tended to dent oil prices which tend to respond with a strong economy.

I got into debt in college, and no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. So i consolidated it into a lowrate personal loan from sofi. Get a personal loan with low low fixed rates, and borrow up to 100k. Sofi get your money right. In 40 Years Congress has only delivered about on time four times in 40 years. If they dont keep the government open they should not get paid. No pay, no budget. People in washington are shutting down the American Dream with their reckless behavior. They borrowed, they printed, they spent, they shut down our National Sovereignty by allowing the border to be wide open. Please spare me the crocodile tears for these people. Caused by government spending, President Biden hides in his basement and wont answer why hes raising the debt the way he has done and donald trump hides behind the walls of his golf clubs. Neil we could be less than a couple days from that happening all over again. The question becomes how long will it happen . Chad pogrom on capitol hill this morning. Is a Little Movement as Kevin Mccarthy talks with Senate Democrats about Border Security plan and a bill to fund the government. It includes money for ukraine which mccarthy opposes. If youve got what you wanted on Border Security would you see it on ukraine . But that seems like a stronger ask on your side. Talking mostly border. Lets see what if they can produce. Reporter mccarthy spoke with independent arizona senator Kirsten Sinema about the border. The Senate Begins debate on its temporary spending bill, conservatives are holding it up. The senate may not pass the bill until after the deadline this weekend. There is worry on capitol hill. The government, not like pressing pause, not an interlude that lets us pick up where we left off. It is an actively harmful proposition. 77 senators worked the senate bill but they rejected the plan. It could pass the house with nearly 300 votes. Down to the wire. As i said for months, congress, one option to avoid a shut down, bipartisanship. It was true yesterday. It is true today. It will be true tomorrow. Reporter mccarthy hopes his interim spending bill with Border Security on the floor tomorrow but it is unclear if that can pass the house. Government funding expires 11 59 59 p. M. Saturday. Neil a few had a saturday show. Probably you could have a show saturday evening. Neil dont push it. Im looking forward to it. Once to go to the republican of Tennessee HouseOversight Committee member, foreign affairs. Good to have you. Whats in your mind about whether we are going to have a shut down . I am not a betting man. Plenty of money in the stock market. I think we are headed towards a shut down. Dont know how long it is, usually average two to three days. We had several in the last two decades. It wont surprise me if it happens this weekend. Neil if speaker Kevin Mccarthy cobbles together something with enough republicans on scene, would that doom him, you or any of your fellow members say thats enough and you just crossed a line . Depends what is in the bill, throws down the gauntlet of money for ukraine and doesnt address the border. The thing is weve been dealing with these issues since january and as i stated, september 30th comes out this time every year so we should have addressed this a long time ago, shouldnt gone home of the month of august or working up here instead of in our districts. I do more work at home than i do up here but truth be known we should have been working and coming in to meetings at 10 30 or 11 00, catering pizzas for lunch, kicking out at 4 30, the average american walks out with Brooks Brothers suit, jacket over our shoulder and sleeves and ties pools down and say weve been working hard and no one is buying that garbage. We are 33 trillion in debt, both parties are at fault, democrats do it on woke garbage and we do it on Missile Defense plans, fitch, when they downgrade us gave two reasons kimonos leadership and the other was fiscal spending in the last 20 years so it cuts both parties. We should get back to work, this is ridiculous. We should have 15 of us that are opposed to this crazy spending in a room with leadership day one, start working over it but our egos got the best of us and we are still waiting for the meeting. Neil sounds like this is on Kevin Mccarthy. He botched it. The speaker is the speaker and we need leadership. I dont need wringing hands and telling us how bad it is going to get and this doing what we have been doing for 30 years obviously is not working. We need to start working like the american public. My wife had been up since 6 00 working, taking care of business, most tennesseans and probably most americans have been hitting pretty long before we decided to do something. Weve got all week. These committees that should be making these decisions are not meeting right now. Lets get to work, stop with all the garbage and get back to work. This country deserves it. I am not kidding. I am afraid we are going to lose our country. We are in a fiscal downturn. All of this talk and all this going on, they talk about how harmful it will be to shut down the government. What happens if we deflate the dollar and inflation start skyrocketing again which it has been. We are going to do much more harm is there than shutting down for three or four days. Lets get back to work, start doing our job, this game plan, all they are doing is pushing us against, they want to pass a continued resolution, then they say pass another cr so we dont have to pass anymore. Thats like telling a crack head i am going to give you more crack to get you off of crack. That doesnt work. We are addicted to this money and spending our greatgrandchildrens future. Neil very well laid out. People can agree or disagree but you made clear where you are coming from on this. Best of luck in this. Republican from tennessee. States his mind where we stand in these talks, anything could happen. Progress for the time being, not so much. In the meantime, a hint of progress in these talks is a stretch, the latest demand that could be satisfied with. Closer to 30 , that didnt conclude this but it could be the next step in how they avoid worsening this. After this. lighthearted music best thing ive ever done. Thats what freddie told me. A person like me needed to get a reverse mortgage to change my life. It was the best thing ive ever done. Really . Yes, without doubt [tom selleck] joanne said just about the same thing. It absolutely is the best thing i ever did. Jack put it a different way. To him, it was about having his grandkids over. You want to have the kids over, you want to have the grandkids over. Yeah. You want to have the family over. You want to say, this is my place. Great people, different peop
