>> i think he will do more. but, i mean, in the moment, if he was trying to contrast himself with former president trump, yes, he would have succeeded and try to somewhat thwart trump's effort to make this somehow a crime wave to be blamed on biden in the country is all going to hell and, you know, american carnage. it's all picking up on that theme which has been a staple of trump's rally speeches. but the big news to me just looking at the politics of it, bret, is that money, money is a big advantage in american politics. you can go and campaign in places and some places in red or purple states and force your opponent to have to spend money there as well. i'm thinking of ohio, for example, where right now trump would be favored but, again, if you see biden spending money, i think trump will have to do something. and meanwhile, i don't think trump could get former presidents on the republican side to go campaign with him not george w. bush or dick cheney and maybe not mike pence. trump is off selling bibles and sneakers. >> bret: guy, thoughts? >> well, the white house can say that their hearts go out to this family, but the president did not go out to the wake. he is busy rubbing elbows with stephen colbert and lizzo who i guess has been uncanceled. i missed that memo but that's interesting. they will raise a lot of money. they are the big money in politics party now. the democrats have been for years. but i think donald trump made it a point to get to that wake, not just to signal his support for law enforcement but to highlight some of the policy failures, yes, that led to this horrible shooting. this was a gunman, allegedly, who had been arrested 21 prior times. and now he has been arrested a 22nd time after apparently murdering a young family man, an nypd officer and the juxtaposition of trump being there, miles away from this big glitzy event for joe biden, which will be very beneficial to their campaign beings moneywise, no doubt about that. i think the images though and the message sent is quite powerful as well. >> bret: guy, radio show you had former secretary of state, former cia director mike pompeo. all this talk and we had the candidate casino, a vp potential particular picks. his name does come up. take a listen to this little segment from your show. >> who is donald trump going to select as his running mate for this upcoming election in november? let's just say that phone call came in for you to get vetted or at least gain that type of question. would you be open to it. >> if i got a chance to serve and the president wanted me to serve and i thought i could make a difference, i'm almost certain that i would say yes to a request like that if i thought i could literally help the president be successful in whatever role that might be. i would be pretty inclined to go and try to be part of the team. >> bret: it was an interesting answer. i don't think i have heard him answer something like that. guy? >> he also got into substance on policy and all of that elsewhere in the interview i asked him that political question at the very end, it's getting some attention. if you think about pompeo and his resume, secretary of state, cia director, west point guy, is he a very solid, stable, sort of calming presence. there's a case to be made absolutely for mike pompeo, depending on what trump would value on a ticket. and i think at the very least he merits serious consideration. and based on that answer, he would at least be willing to take that call and step up if the request came in. >> bret: trey, it doesn't seem like there is a decision in the offing here that this might be playing out all the way up to july, maybe, if we had to guess with the former president's plan. >> i think this highlights the danger of artificial intelligence that there is no way in the world that was mike pompeo's voice. i was in a law firm with mike. who would give up having teleconferences with me and john ratcliffe to be the vice president of the united states? so, i think the whole thing is fake. i don't know who he is going to pick the last i heard he said he didn't need a vice president. who enjoys going to funerals for a living? i don't know who it is going to be. but if it's pompeo, i will be disappointed and i will be a lot poorer. >> bret: that's good, panel stand by. i want to mention we were monitoring that news conference with maryland governor west moore. he just said that president biden approved his $60 million emergency aid request for the recovery efforts and he the rebuild as you look like there. monitoring for news. nothing besides that request getting through. we will continue to look at that up next, the panel on the border crisis. the criticism of president biden's efforts to address it specifically. and, later, animals on the hunt for some easter eggs?

>> if she is not embarrassed then she is just not easily embarrassed, bret. any d.a. would be embarrassed at the mere thought of possibly being kicked off of a case. i think if the train comes, it's going to come after november and it may even come after the new president is inaugurated whether it's biden or trump. so, she is not first in line new york is this case is on appeal. the judge is considering the first amendment arguments on another part of the case; if she is happy with the way things are going in georgia. then she needs to go become a defense attorney and not a prosecutor. >> bret: all right, panel, thanks a lot. ♪ ♪ >> bret: finally tonight, a special day. you know, greg gutfeld has animals are great and we have animals zoo easter egg. staff coloring eggs throughout the animal's habitat. special treats, nuts, berries, fruits, the bears, for example. i'm fond of those. for example, they set out to find eggs shell made from shells and water. meantime hunting for eggs. we try to compete with greg here sometimes. tomorrow is the red year anniversary of russian imprisonment of russian gershkovich. talk with the "wall street journal" editor and chief. thanks for inviting us into your home. fair, balanced and unafraid.
