he feels like he is on track to win the nomination. chris christie, up on the presidential debate stage before has been framing desantis for a leaked memo talking about campaign strategies where he would defend donald trump and go after vivek ramaswamy. christie said a florida politician showing he can memorize lines from consul ants what can go wrong? desantis super pac says bring it on. >> his thoughts, his words and his actions what you hear tonight. we put out the advice. this is about governor desantis and his record and the opportunity for the american people to see that and the hard work he is doing on the campaign trail. >> that music is part of the setup in milwaukee, wisconsin. ramaswamy leaning on the founding fathers, campaign has been branded with the slogan the 1776 moment. compared himself to thomas jefferson, why? he did it at 33 ramaswamy says. he is ready to lead at 38. see how he does on the debate stage. could be a make or break moment for him. nikki haley has been slamming him for foreign policy proposals say they have a common theme. they make america less safe. back live the dnc has their own plan in milwaukee. they pull a banner through the sky in downtown milwaukee reading gop2024, a race for the extreme maga base. all voters we talked to bill and dana don't want more divisiveness and see how we can move forward as a country. >> we'll see how it goes. talk to the dnc later this hour. leading us off in milwaukee, thanks. >> each republican on the stage wants voter to say they're the best candidate to turn around the economy. grady trimble live in milwaukee. all the voters, it comes down to the economy. >> it does. we've been chatting with voters here. hearing from people across the country. they tell us the economy and inflation are close to the top of their list of important issues. if not the most important issues in this upcoming election. the current president has been touting a strong economy but these presidential hopefuls say americans aren't feeling that. prices are way up since president biden took office. interest rates are climbing making buying a home and car more expensive. rnc chair ronna mcdaniel told you yesterday she hopes the debate is contrasting bidenomics with conservative solutions like reining in government spending. some candidates are ready to go after the president. >> i won't let him sit in his basement and get away with it again. we'll run him ragged around his country and hold him accountable for his failures. >> with each candidate looking for that break-out moment tonight, house speaker kevin mccarthy says whoever talks about pocketbook issues will stand out. >> this guy is out of tune, out of touch and i'm going to watch this debate looking for the individual who lays that out best making the argument against biden economics and for a more prosperous america focused on america first. >> several of the voters we've talked to say they're not set on any one candidate. that they can be persuaded. the economic plan of each could help win over voters tonight. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: grady, if you can see your monitor, stand by. ready for this? >> dana: let's make history here. >> bill: want our viewers to know, we'll show you a whole new treat for you. bring on the drone. you can hear it buzzing in the background. here in milwaukee it will cruise around the set. you see that? we'll show you the entire set. there we are. a nice selfie. out the door we ride where the voter panel will be in 30 minutes. across the driveway is the arena home of the milwaukee bucks. i don't know if i've seen a bigger picture of bret and martha in my life. >> dana: they look better the bigger they get. there is the drone entering the forum goes right through security. he has a water bottle in his pocket. >> bill: pick up a hot dog and use the restroom if you would like. >> dana: all this brand-new for fox news. first republican debate that will take place tonight in this forum. >> hold it. here we go. >> dana: this is where you pick up the popcorn and pick up the bill also. >> bill: done. and there we have it, the stage for tonight's first event of the 2024 campaign season. up bright and early with us our colleagues bret and martha ready to let it rip. good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> this is pretty cool. the stage unveiling. never before seen this dronen trance. it is like the fox news democracy 24 spaceship here is what -- it's awesome. they have done an amazing job. >> dana: i want to make sure to tell all the moms. >> i felt like it would hit us in the head come in for a landing. i'm glad it didn't stop in the restroom on the way or we'd still be waiting for it. >> dana: i wanted to make sure all the moms know we aren't encouraging young children to play with a drone inside the house. that goes for you too, peter. know that. tonight is the big reveal. bret and martha give us a sense of how is this one different than the ones you've done in the past? >> bret: i'll start. i think obviously the moment is a big political moment. a little surreal in the political moment we're in but so many issues that face americans that they want to hear about. the former president is not here on the stage but the people who are here on the stage are really going to be trying to stand out above the others to be the alternative. >> martha: the numbers we've seen over this week's polling show 50 to 60% of republican voters watching closely tonight, of course, are undecided. they are persuadeable and listening to all these people. we hear it time and again with all the voter panels. people saying their minds are very open at this point. that's a big opportunity for these folks tonight. i think that they are also a bit anxious and excited getting on stage. for some we'll wake up tomorrow morning feeling they hit it out of the park. others not so much. the stakes are pretty high. >> bill: i was looking at the setup yesterday. it is beautiful, number one. i think there is like two feet in between each podium. not a lot of physical space. >> bret: right over here is where governor burgum will be. there is eight people here but there is not a lot of space in between candidates and if you are governor burgum, you can still, because of the semi circle, really get engaged in this moment. it is pretty tight and i think there will be a lot of contrast and a lot of interaction. in the middle is governor desantis and vivek ramaswamy. >> dana: quite cozy. >> martha: i don't think anybody will be bumped off the end. >> bill: your prep now. you've been doing it for days. how much do you want to address specific issues with individual candidates and how much do you want them to engage with each other >> martha: i think it's both. moderators is a different situation than a one-on-one interview. our job is to set them up well and ask them questions that will be challenging for them and then to get them going at each other called the debate for a reason. we want to foster and encourage a lively debate up there tonight and why people are tuning in and want to see these folks on stage really have to be on their toes and explain how they would govern. >> bret: ideally you get them questions from getting to the off ramp of talking points. you want to get authentic answers and exchanges between candidates to help voters decide who is best for them. >> martha: people have such a good monitor for when that authentic moment is happening. people know if you've rolled into our talking points or answering a question from the heart. >> dana: bret, i believe the way you described it yesterday is the categories for the questions you consider them to be in buckets. can you give anybody a preview for the types of buckets that you have for tonight? >> bret: first we have a lot of buckets and we've been shifting buckets and changing buckets. and what i would say is anybody who looks at any poll about what americans care about, there is a bucket for that in some way, shape or form. now, all of this is like a battle plan and it gets thrown out the door when the war starts. we are used to adjusting on the fly and have a great team that gets in our ear and tells us going on time wise. we are trying to be equitable, too. >> martha: there are obvious burning questions on people's minds, the state of the economy. you can expect to hear a lot tonight. a unique opportunity for these candidates because the former president won't be center stage. that would have taken up a lot of oxygen in the room and they know they have a really unique opportunity to shine. so we'll see who shines and who doesn't. >> bill: martha, you touched on it call for one before we say goodbye for now. that des moines register poll showed a lot about what the candidates need to focus on. they found 52% of the people in iowa could be persuaded. that's a big, big number. guys, thanks for being here. you have a short day. maybe we'll do the drone 2.0 a little later. >> bret: that was really cool. >> bill: some other fun stuff. >> martha: thank you so much. looking forward to it. >> bill: talk to you soon. fox news alert. breaking news on one of the people on stage tonight. doug burgum has been taken to the emergency room in milwaukee, wisconsin, after an injury he sustained while playing basketball. we're not sure exactly what the injury is. we don't know how that affects his appearance tonight. we're waiting to get more information on this. a lot of the candidates get up early, go for a work-out. a lot try to keep up a normal day's routine to keep their mind relaxed. for doug burgum it was shooting hoops. this time it did not work out entirely as he had hoped. >> dana: let's hope it is a minor injury for him and an update this morning during "america's newsroom" and bring it to you. >> bill: really interesting guy. we've had him on a couple times. he made a lot of money in the private sector and then went into public life and has done what many in north dakota consider to be a great job. >> dana: a farmer too boot. he has a lot to talk about and hope he is able to make it on stage tonight. >> bill: 14 past the hour from milwaukee. let's move to this now. check it out. >> president biden: the financial times and the "wall street journal" called my plan bidenomics. i'm not sure they meant it in a totally complimentary way at the time but guess what? it's working. >> bill: okay. eight candidates on stage tonight. we beg would differ. they all want to turn the page on bidenomics. can they sell their own plan to the american people? former mitch mcconnell, josh holmes have a lot of ideas on that. >> dana: don't go anywhere as we continue live from milwaukee. continue live from milwaukee. veteran homeowners know it's getting harder and harder to make ends meet. credit card rates are averaging 22% and still climbing. even car and truck loans can be 15%. but newday's rates are a fraction of that. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you use the equity in your home to pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. and you can save $500 a month. that's $6,000 a year. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. enter the $10,000 powered by protein max challenge. ♪ ♪ ♪ with wet amd, sometimes i worry my world is getting smaller because of my sight. but now, i can open up my world with vabysmo. vabysmo is the first fda-approved treatment for people with wet amd that improves vision and delivers a chance for up to 4 months between treatments. which means doing more of what i love. ♪ vabysmo is the only treatment designed to block 2 causes of wet amd. vabysmo is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active swelling in or around your eye, or are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. treatments like vabysmo can cause eye infection or retinal detachment. vabysmo may cause a temporary increase in eye pressure after receiving the injection. although uncommon, there is a potential risk of heart attack or stroke associated with blood clots. open up your world! a chance for up to 4 months between treatments with vabysmo. ask your doctor. i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed?

despite campaigning as a champion of the working and middle classes biden's policies have largely failed them. inflation fueled mostly by democrats' reckless spending lowered the quality of life. you grew up in the midwest and you understand that feeling and where it is coming from. do you think it can overcome the democrats for 2024 in re-election? >> it is all just talk. the disconnect between bidenomics and branding and bumper sticker that democrats are trying to do to infuse hope into this economic condition is entirely divorced from the experience of most people feeling within their homes and within their own economic situation. i think they run a real risk. as you go into a general election we know there are a lot of things that animate a general electric electorate. the biden team has a tough hand. approval rating in the 30s on the handling of economy. mas massive -- i think they have a steep uphill climb to try to figure that out. >> bill: they will try. here is the new spot from the biden team. new political ad. watch here. >> all of the things that biden fought to get passed helped the middle class. what president biden accomplished is helping real people. being a mom is hard. hard in a different way. unique to catch a break. >> bill: you can do it with words or actions and policy. what is the white house going to do? is it a or b, josh? >> look, we can walk anywhere miles around here and find me one person thank god for the chips act i will take my cap off and say you've done it, mr. president. i don't think you can find somebody like that. they are talking about very obscure -- things that have not even come online yet and checking them off as accomplishment as if it's a bank account difference for your average american. it is not. this is all meaningless words at this point and that accounts for the huge discrepancy between where you see gdp, nominal growth and where the approval rating in this country is of biden's handling of the economy. >> dana: they are slipping with people they need to vote for them. the youth vote, if you are trying to buy a home and looking at 8% mortgage rate that's difficult. they are also mad at him because of student loans because they overpromised and under delivering and trying to do things not constitutional. then you have hispanics and blacks who are backing away a little bit because of the economic conditions. if they lose too many of those folks the republicans have a shot. >> bill: or if they choose not to vote. >> i think there will be a big turnout in 24 regardless. the thing i would be concerned about if i was in the democratic shoes they've taken a lot of constituencies for granted. pay lip service over time because of the democratic coalition and haven't been deliverable results. go figure, joe biden is not exactly stirring up the youth vote these days, right? i don't think that's surprising anybody by saying it is not animating the electorate in any serious way. a big disconnect that he has in his policies and how people are feeling and all of these various constituencies and whether or not he is taking them for granted or not. >> bill: the debate tonight. you were making the argument last night normally you want to survive and advance. you said you don't want to survive and advance, you have to win. >> you have to take the opportunity. i think if you look at the eight candidates on stage, the reality is there is a 35, 40 point gap between them and the former president. you can't survive an event. you have to stand out and make the case that you are the candidate who can consolidate a republican coalition that wants something different than donald trump and i don't know who it will be. exciting to watch. >> dana: what are you doing from 5:30 to 7:30. >> college game day setup. we'll stir up the youth. >> bill: we'll send our drone your way. >> i would love that. >> bill: we are less than 12 hours away right now. republican candidates make their first impression to millions of americans. what will move the needle for them? we've got a terrific voter panel here in wisconsin. you will hear their concerns coming up. >> we will stop catch and release and we will start catch and deport. >> on day one, we will declare the border to be a national emergency. >> we just have to start selling energy to friend and allies and stop buying from our adve adversaries. >> i don't think a woman should be forced to compete against a biological man. that's not freedom, that's oppression. ♪ [city ambience sounds] [car screech] [car door slam] [camera shutter sfx] introducing ned's plaque psoriasis.

>> as i've been doing my research on these candidates prior to this debate i honestly really felt myself being attracted to vivek ramaswamy as a candidate. he has been running his campaign very successfully and my personal opinion he runs his campaign in a way the others don't. i think he can articulate and explain his ideas in a certain way the others don't related to foreign policy or reducing the federal agencies he talked about. i am looking forward to seeing him as an excellent communicator. someone present across social media. talks to news spokes people across the political spectrum and will serve him as a strong suit in tonight's debate. >> bill: you are 22? someday she is up there. down in the bottom right is kathy, age 80, born and raised in wisconsin. right now you are leaning towards trump or ron desantis. you are open to ramaswamy. where are you right now? >> i would like to see trump here but he is not. physically but i'm certain he will be on that stage with everyone else's comments. i am hoping to see -- i am most concerned about the border. and i want that to be secured and i want to know how they are going to go about doing it. how do correct immigration and i think that has a direct relationship with the economy. >> dana: one next here to gerard. great to have you here. you work in the milwaukee education partnership. economy and public safety. economy being the biggest one and lean toward tim scott but open minded. >> absolutely. my concern is they all address the issues around personal safety whether it's local or globally. there are a lot of folks that live in communities where crime has become an issue of great concern but we also have globally people who are wondering whether or not we'll enter into another massive war. we just pulled out of afghanistan and ukraine we're involved in. i think the concern there is that we not get any deeper than what we already are. >> bill: come down two from you. christopher, we've met before, haven't we? >> we've been on air together. >> bill: dana doesn't forget anybody. she took a look at you and said we've met before. you are leaning toward ron desantis. what do you want him to do tonight? >> he has to be really well aware of his presence, right? he has got to come off as a viable alternative to donald trump. i think he needs to stick to the issues and what got him here to begin with. i'm worried about the other candidates, him now being the target without donald trump on the stage. but i think really what people want to hear is where do the candidates stand on the issues? what are your policies and ideas? not what has happened before but what do we do going forward? >> dana: ed in the back here. one of the things that you have said is that you are concerned about the economy. and tell us what does that realistically for you? in the previous blocked. he says bidenomics is working and everyone should like what we are doing. >> the idea that bidenomics is working is a joke at worst. professionally i work in sales. people going to grocery stores and having a hard time making ends meet. you go into the stores and find 24 cans of soda for $14. you go three years ago those were $6. those are basic things. go to meat, utility, go to anything else. how is this getting better? that's the problem i have with that. >> dana: what do you want to hear tonight? >> what i want to hear is paint me a picture, sell me. earn my vote. and you can do that by giving me an idea of what life would be like under your add mini ministrations. what are you looking to do to help the ordinary person not just to understand it but i see the impact of what they are going to bring. >> bill: we like to watch the debate with people like you. front row, denise leaning toward desantis. you are thinking about what right now? >> the border. all the issues that have evolved and arisen because of all of the illegal immigration and what are we going to do with education? how are we going to afford all these people coming in, the crime, just all the basic issues and how is somebody going to fix them? >> bill: a lot of questions come from the border, don't they? >> yes, give me an action plan. >> bill: we have nine of you. three more to get to. we have a few more specific things we want to talk about. stand by and we'll hear more. >> dana: quick break. still ahead we're sticking with this panel, as bill said. the first gop primary debate and can't wait to hear what they have to say. you will see them again tomorrow. >> bill: come on back right after this. ♪ hey, jen. i need skin advice. sure. am i ready for retinol?

how do you feel about forgiveness? >> i took on those loans myself. i don't necessarily think someone else should have to pay -- use their tax money to pay off my loans. it is my responsibility. i knew that when i took them on. so it's my responsibilities to pay them off is how i view that. >> dana: you have a bright future. i can see it. >> bill: tracy, a business woman. you have worked in milwaukee a lot. what are you thinking about tonight and what do you want to hear? >> i'm looking for that candidate who not only talks about the issues that cover the republican platform, conservative platform, economy, immigration, energy independence but some of the social issues and neutralize some of those divisive talking points that we hear and i think have some trouble with. i also want to see someone who i can relate to. someone who is very personable and not so wrote. we need somebody who can create great policy but ex cut it. there are a number of candidates. >> bill: who do you like? >> ron desantis has the track record but i am open minded. many people in wisconsin are open minded. you have nikki haley, tim scott and you have a lot of great candidates who will talk about a vision for the future. >> dana: steve you have been patient. an engineer. biggest issue is border security and immigration. i know that also affects the economy. who are you leaning towards right now? are you open minded? what do you want to hear tonight? >> i'm leaning toward vivek ramaswamy. i have think he is a uniter. a genius level in my opinion. i've heard him a few times on fox. very impressed. elections are won by winning the center. everybody on the stage will vote republican. you have people that are engrained in democrats, the center is where it goes. i think vivek people will relate to him, listen to him. he is an excellent candidate, i think. >> bill: you voted for jimmy carter?

>> well, they are both very independent, hard working individuals. i'm proud of them as much as most parents are. and they grew up in a different era and have very different individuals. they know where i stand and we don't always agree with things but i can talk to them about just about anything. i -- i think -- i look at them and think going back to vivek, i think they would like him as well. >> bill: we'll see how it goes. i hope they are watching tonight. >> dana: come back to gerard in the front row. i want to get your sense of what you think about the electability argument. does that enter your mind? when you look at these candidates tonight are you thinking could one of these people or former president trump beat joe biden? does electability matter to you? >> the top five candidates are all electable. the president certainly has his challenges in convincing the american folk who are in the center that he should have another term in office. but that's the same with president biden. people who are looking at him are also trying to figure out whether or not he has the policies and the energy to produce what they would like to see come out of government. >> bill: kathy to your left. what do you think about that? >> i'm looking for someone with universal appeal. not only to republicans but independents, undecideds and disillusioned democrats. and i think the method of presentation is very important so that we all get to see is this the candidate for us? >> bill: you have some experience watching all this politics, right? >> on fox? >> bill: not here but over time in wisconsin. you have seen the way the state was democratic for many cycles and now it's really a toss-up, would you agree? >> absolutely. >> bill: how do they convey what you are talking about? >> well, i think the winning of the election runs through wisconsin and why the national convention is going to be here. and i am just hoping that people really do their research and understand. it's not what people just say about their policies but how are they going to execute them? >> dana: that's a great point. thank you all. you'll watch the debate tonight in the forum and you will be back tomorrow. >> bill: great answers tomorrow just like today. more drone or more cowbell? show of hands?

(dog bark) it's simply fresh meat and vegetables, with all the nutrients dogs need— instead of dried pellets. just food made for the health of dogs. delivered in packs portioned for your dog. it's amazing what real food can do. with the price of just about everything going up during inflation, we thought we'd bring our prices down. so to help us, we brought in a reverse auctioneer. which is apparently a thing. mint mobile, unlimited premium wireless. can i get 30, 30 bidder get 30 bidder get 20, 20, 20, bidder get 20, 20, bidder get 15, 15, 15, 15. just 15 bucks a month. sold! mint mobile premium wireless. let's check his tongue for steroids. mint mobile premium wireless. 15, 15, bidder bid 15, bidder bid 15 15 15 and... sold! what brand of coffee do you drink? hi, i'm norma, and i lost 53 pounds on golo. when i started golo, i expected to plateau like i had so many other times. i was surprised that sticking to the golo plan and taking release, the weight just kept coming off. (soft music) i suffer with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. i was on a journey for a really long time to find some relief. cosentyx works for me. cosentyx helps real people get real relief from the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen. i move so much better because of cosentyx. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. >> can you talk about the death toll in maui? >> can you tell us about your hawaii trip, sir? >> president biden: no, not now. >> bill: maui residents calling president biden's visit to their island tone deaf. his attempt to relate to victims has backlash. can he afford the gaffes as republicans step up to the mic tonight? let's talk to minnesota senator tina smith. is there a hangover of that maui visit over the debate hall tonight? >> glad to be with you. welcome to the midwest, by the way. i understand some of my colleagues in hawaii that president biden was very warmly received there and i think also that the president has a unique capacity to connect with people and express empathy for what they've been going through. what happened in hawaii is he was sharing stories of his loss of his first wife and daughter in a terrible car accident and what i thought was remarkable is how he stuck around for 45 minutes after the big events were over to talk to people. the most important thing in this terrible catastrophe of this fire in hawaii is he is doing absolutely everything we can to get resources to people living in maui and in hawaii to recover and that is what i hear is the thing that people are most appreciative of right now. >> dana: a couple of headlines. call for three showing usa today saying biden visited maui and met with grief over relief efforts and biden met with anger from some maui residents that a lot of people could understand and let's call for number two here, senator smith. this is democrats defending as you yourself are, president biden. >> i think his empathy, his stories, his way he connects with voters are why he won the 2020 presidential election. >> he spent two hours with people community members, survivors, first responder. >> he served after emotion -- >> dana: the original silence as well as the story about the minor fire have led people to say is he understanding what's going on with hundreds of people missing? one more word and we'll move to another topic. >> he is understanding it and demonstrating that understanding not only by being there but by making sure the full force of the federal government is being brought to help these poor individuals who have suffered such loss in hawaii. you know, i have to say also, it is kind of incredible to see some politicians trying to take advantage of the grief and the misery in hawaii to try to score political points here. >> dana: well, that does happen in disasters. i remember it very, very well. let's move on to something else here. we had the gas prices and things that are also a huge problem especially here in the midwest and we just had a voter panel who said they don't feel the economy is going well for them. your thoughts about bidenomics as it stands today. >> so i think tonight is going to be a really important night. it will be a big challenge for these republican candidates bois have a huge audience, a big fox audience. what i think will happen is a lot of individuals in your audience will be hearing that these candidates are a lot more extreme than they really want. the reality of the economic recovery that we are living through is pretty dramatic. the fastest and best economic recovery of any place in the world. 13 million jobs created, 800,000 manufacturing jobs created a resurgence of manufacturing. 75% of americans say they feel good about their own financial well-being and then you have successes like capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month. something that every one of your panelists would voted again. the contrast tonight for voters when they hear about the extreme plans are of these republicans. >> bill: we found in our fox polling how things are going in th
