I m vivek ramaswamy, and this is an open discussion about some of the biggest issues facing americans. We were supposed to have a red wave in 2022, but that never came. They blamed trump. They blamed abortion. But the real reason is that we got lazy. We railed against the democrats, but without offering an alternative vision of our own. And i m worried we re going to be in for a rude surprise this november unless we fix that starting right now. Think about it. Criticizing joe biden for his cognitive deficits over the last two years ended up backfiring. His cognitive deficits weren t a bug for the people who controlled him. They were a feature, and eventually they used it as their basis to swap him out. He was never really the functioning president of the united states anyway. He was a puppet for the people who controlled him. And you know what? the same thing goes for kamala harris today. She s just another cog in the system. We re not up against a candidate here. We re up against a ma
their final stops in iowa, talking policy and connecting with voters. but the candidates are also targeting each other. donald trump and ron desantis seem to be pivoting attacks toward someone who appears to be climbing in the polls. sandra: and that someone is nikki haley. she s been barnstorming through iowa today, and she will take a stop right there and join us live in moments. first, though, we have fox team coverage for you. lucas tomlinson is live in pennsylvania ahead of president biden s first campaign speech of the year and mark meredith will kick us off from the latest on the gop campaign. mark, is it all coming down to iowa? what do we know? certainly seems that is the case. good afternoon to you. former president trump is going to be crisscrossing iowa over the next 24 hours, holding multiple rallies trying to shore up his lead and trump is clearly focused on the first content ten days out, launching a new attack ad against president biden. under biden your
Residence. Cheering crowds there along Pennsylvania Avenue. They might even go past the new trump hotel. You can see the Capitol Building behind that picture. It was on the steps of that building that donald trump took the oath and delivered his speech. We will bring you his speech later in the hour but he was speaking about transferring power from washington, he was speaking about transferring powerfrom washington, dc he was speaking about transferring power from washington, dc to he was speaking about transferring powerfrom washington, dc to bring it back to the people. We can join Laura Trevelyan among the crowd. Can you give is an idea of what it is like out there. I am joined by a loyal donald trump supporter from alabama. Its the best day of my life. I campaigned for him in alabama. Idid life. I campaigned for him in alabama. I did not think this day was going to come. We were so surprised. Why were you so surprised. Why were you so surprised. We thought that the democrats. We we
hundreds at all of our locations there. the you are going to see the same movement on the ground here in iowa. the momentum is real and real from republicans, it s real from independents and it s coming from some democrats and i welcome that. because in order for us to heal this country we have to go forward and what happened too long and seeing it play out in this election, too. leaders like to tell people who is right, who is wrong, who is good, who is bad. that is not what a leader does. a leader goes and focuses on lifting up everybody. and making sure that they bring out the best in people and taking them forward. that s what i m gonna do and so i ll let my opponents do what they are going to do. we are going to focus on america and make sure we go in the right direction. sandra: you run to potentially be the first female president, ron desantis is trying to tie you to hillary clinton. not ronald reagan, not margaret thatcher, she said hillary clinton was her
