Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Boo!
bret baier
Boo!
unidentified
Wow!
- President Mike Pence. - Boo! Boo! Boo! - Former Carolina Governor, Nick Bailey. - Former New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie. - Boo. - South Carolina Senator Tim. - Boo! Boo! - Former Arkansas Governor, Asa Hutchinson.
- Whoa! Wow!
Look at that pin! - Gunburgan.
nick fuentes
He has an Israel lapel pin.
Israel flag.
unidentified
That's crazy.
nick fuentes
That's crazy.
bret baier
We'll ask the questions, and then candidates get one minute to answer.
If someone is singled out, you get 30 seconds to respond.
And when the time runs out, we all will hear this.
Very pleasant.
martha maccallum
So tonight, these candidates have a big opportunity to break out of the pack and to explain why they are best prepared to be the Republican choice for president at a time when the likely Democrat nominee, President Joe Biden, is working to convince the country President Joe Biden, is working to convince the country that with Bidenomics, things are looking up.
unidentified
Thank you.
joe biden
They call my plan Bidenomics.
I'm not sure they meant it in a totally complimentary way at the time.
unidentified
But guess what?
But, is it?
bret baier
More than 65% of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction.
And here's the reality for some voters we talked to here in Wisconsin this week.
unidentified
We have noticed a dramatic increase in prices at the grocery store just across the board.
It's tough when you got mortgage rates at 70% versus 2 to 3.
It's just, you can't afford a house anymore.
got more use rates at 70% versus two to three.
No!
No!
It's just you can't afford a house anymore. - It's inflation is ridiculous.
martha maccallum
It's killing us out here. - As we sit here tonight, the number one song on the Billboard chart is called "Rich Men's Worth of Richmond." - Come on.
joe biden
Oh, my gosh.
martha maccallum
From Farmville, Virginia, named Oliver Anthony.
His lyrics speak of alienation.
unidentified
That's crazy.
martha maccallum
Of deep frustration with the state of government and of this country.
Washington, D.C. is about 100 miles north of Richmond.
unidentified
There's Richmond, north of Richmond.
Lord knows it all.
Just want to have total control.
This is insane.
Want to know what you think.
Want to know what you do.
And they don't think you know.
But I know that you do.
Cause your dollar hates shit.
And it's taxed to no end.
Don't for rich men.
martha maccallum
Seriously?
Oh my gosh!
No way!
unidentified
Why is this song striking such a nerve in this country right now?
martha maccallum
What do you think it means?
unidentified
That's crazy.
ron desantis
Our country is in decline.
This decline is not inevitable.
It's a choice.
We need to send Joe Biden back to his basement and reverse American decline.
unidentified
Babe, bro.
nick fuentes
Crowd is fake.
What's going on with this?
Hunter Biden.
ron desantis
We must reverse Bidenomics so that middle class families have a chance to succeed again.
We cannot succeed as a country.
If you are working hard and you can't afford groceries, a car, or a new home while Hunter Biden can make hundreds of thousands of dollars on lousy paintings, that is wrong.
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.
And finally, we need to lower your gas prices.
We're gonna open up all energy production.
We will be energy dominant again in this country.
nick fuentes
Okay, Rumble.
What's going on, Rumble?
unidentified
I pledge to you...
ron desantis
As your president, we will get the job done, and I will not let you down.
unidentified
Look at that smile after.
What was that?
nick fuentes
I will not let you down.
bret baier
...with Governor DeSantis just said there, and why would you be better on the economy... That was weird.
...than him?
chris christie
Well, look, I do agree predominantly with what Governor DeSantis just laid out, and I think that if you asked every one of us up here, that we would agree predominantly with what he just laid out.
Here's the difference.
The difference is that we're going to have to work and make sure that we sell these ideas, and be able to put ourselves in a position where we get a majority of the vote, not only by winning the Congress and the Senate, in 2024, but also by having someone who's had the experience of doing it.
Now, I was elected as a conservative Republican in a blue state with 61% of the vote, with a Democratic legislature against me the entire time.
And we still, through hard, strong decision-making, brought the brought them around to our point of view.
We cut taxes in New Jersey.
We cut debt in New Jersey.
We made sure that each and every time we were confronted with bad democratic ideas, we stood and stopped them.
And when there were good ideas, we brought people together to make progress going forward.
Truth and accountability are the things we need to do to fight waste.
And I'd say the last thing is this, Brad.
We cannot sit by any longer and allow the kind of spending that's going on in Washington, because every dollar they spend is a dollar that these people are not allowed to spend on their children and their grandchildren.
It's robbing our country and it's wrong.
bret baier
Well, Governor, let me just follow up very quickly.
All they're talking about is... All they're talking about is money.
nick fuentes
Taxes and debt.
chris christie
Yeah, and that's what happens when you inherit a blue state that has done that.
But when you look at what we did on debt, Brett, in that state, We cut debt in that state.
Debt that had been left to us by three Democratic gubernatorial predecessors of mine who ran up that debt tremendously.
And what you also saw us do was to cut the unemployment rate in half.
It was over 10% when I became governor in 2010.
What we also did was cut pension payments to public employees to make sure that taxpayers were not being soaked by a public employee union system that was killing the taxpayer.
bret baier
Thank you, Governor.
martha maccallum
Governor Scott, I mean, Tim Scott, Senator Scott, excuse me.
The song also goes after welfare programs.
unidentified
The song.
martha maccallum
As a senator, now President Biden, argued for freezing federal spending, this was back in the 80s, and dealing with sacred cows.
He does not talk about that anymore.
You have been a senator, though, for 10 years.
So what have you done to rein in the increasing size of government?
tim scott
Well, thank you for the question.
Over the last several years, I've had an opportunity to vote against spending package after spending package after spending package.
What we also need to understand is that Joe Biden's Biden-nomics has led to the loss of $10,000 of spending power for the average family.
When you see 16% inflation, your gas is up 40%.
Your food is up 20%, your electricity is up 20%.
We can stop that by turning the spigot off in Washington, sending the money back to the states and allowing the decisions to be made at their own houses.
I helped write the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.
We cut taxes for a single mom like the one that raised me by 70%, for dual I don't want to raise money.
The moderators are really coming for these guys.
He's so eloquent.
But our inflation was at 2%.
Under Joe Biden, we've seen the exact opposite.
We've seen inflation explode, which led to 12 Federal Reserve increases.
That's devastating homebuyers today.
bret baier
Mr. Ramaswamy, you're listening to these answers.
mike pence
If I may, I don't know if I get a chance to respond.
bret baier
He didn't mention you specifically, but we'll be with you in a second, Mr. Vice President.
Mr. Ramaswamy, Listening to all of this, why should voters choose you over more experienced politicians on this stage?
You're basically, you know, a blank slate for people.
You're 38 years old.
You've said that you only voted in two presidential elections before this moment, this political race.
vivek ramaswamy
So first, let me just address a question that is on everybody's mind at home tonight.
Who the heck is this skinny guy with a funny last name and what the heck is he doing in the middle of this debate stage?
I'll tell you, I'm not a politician, Brett.
You're right about that.
I'm an entrepreneur.
My parents came to this country with no money 40 years ago.
I have gone on to found multi-billion dollar companies.
I did it while marrying my wife, Apoorva, raising our two sons, following our faith in God.
That is the American dream.
nick fuentes
Which God?
vivek ramaswamy
And I am genuinely worried that that American dream will not exist for our two sons and their generation unless we do something about it.
And I do think Brett is gonna take an outsider because for a long time we have professional politicians in the Republican Party who have been running from something.
Now is our moment to start running to something.
To our vision of what it means to be an American today.
If you have a broken car, you don't turn over the keys to the people who broke it again.
You hand it over to a new generation to actually fix the problem.
That's why I'm in this race and we're just getting warmed up.
nick fuentes
That's awesome.
Good answer.
martha maccallum
She's hot, I'm not gonna lie.
unidentified
Damn.
martha maccallum
She's hot, I'm not gonna lie.
Damn.
nikki haley
Wow.
COVID stimulus bill.
They love They left us with 90 million people on Medicaid, 42 million people on food stamps.
No one has told you how to fix it.
I'll tell you how to fix it.
They need to stop the spending.
They need to stop the borrowing.
They need to eliminate the earmarks that Republicans brought back in.
And they need to make sure they understand these are taxpayer dollars.
It's not their dollars.
And while they're all saying this, you have Ron DeSantis, you've got Tim Scott, you've got Mike Pence.
They all voted to raise the debt.
And Donald Trump added $8 trillion to our debt.
And our kids are never going to forgive us for this.
And so at the end of the day, you look at the 2024 budget.
Republicans asked for $7.4 billion in earmarks.
Democrats asked for $2.8 billion.
So you tell me who are the big spenders.
I think it's time for an accountant in the White House.
bret baier
That's kind of retarded now.
unidentified
Thank you.
nick fuentes
Because the budget is trillions.
You're talking about earmarks?
unidentified
The problem is not earmarks.
bret baier
7 billion?
nick fuentes
The budget's like 7 trillion, idiot.
bret baier
But all they talk about is money.
nick fuentes
All you people care about is money.
What about the border?
bret baier
As vice president, your administration spent more than any more.
nick fuentes
What about the border?
bret baier
$7.8 trillion added to the national debt, $3.5 trillion of that before COVID.
So does that mean that you're part of the spending problem?
unidentified
Well, first off, thanks for the question.
mike pence
Thanks for letting me respond to a reference to our administration's record.
I'm incredibly proud of the record of the Trump-Pence administration.
I mean, in four short years, we rebuilt our military, we revived our economy, we unleashed American energy, and we appointed three conservatives to the Supreme Court that gave the American people a new beginning for the right to life.
Martha, you asked earlier who's the most best prepared for this job.
And I must say, with all due respect to all of my friends on the stage, and even to one that's probably looking on, I think unquestionably I am the best prepared, the most tested, the most qualified and proven conservative in this race.
I was a leader in the Congress of the United States.
I led Indiana where we balanced budgets and had a triple-A bond rating.
When I was governor and as vice president of the United States, we spent funding to backfill on the military cuts of the Obama administration and then we were there in the worst pandemic in 100 years.
All that being said, I was the first person in this race.
To say that we've got to deal with the long-term national debt issues.
You got people on this stage that won't even talk about issues like Social Security and Medicare.
Vivek, you recently said a president can't do everything.
Well, I got news for you, Vivek.
I've been in the hallway.
I've been in the West Wing.
A president of the United States has to confront every crisis facing America.
I will put our nation back on the path to growth and prosperity and restore fiscal responsibility, just as I did in Congress and as governor and when I was vice president.
nick fuentes
Fiscal Responsibility.
That's the battle cry.
Fiscal Responsibility.
And they want to cut Social Security.
vivek ramaswamy
Let's go.
nick fuentes
I like him.
unidentified
Oh, damn.
nick fuentes
I like it.
vivek ramaswamy
I'm not sure I exactly understood Mike Pence's comment, but I'll let you all parse that out.
To me, it's pretty simple.
unidentified
Damn.
vivek ramaswamy
That's something a U.S. president can do with focus, and I'll deliver on it.
mike pence
Let me explain it to you.
Let me explain it to you, Vivette, if I can.
I'll go slower this time.
vivek ramaswamy
You know, I sometimes struggle with the reading conversation.
mike pence
Look, I was a House conservative leader before it was cool.
I actually pushed a deficit reduction act that was a little bit.
nick fuentes
You're not cool, you're gay, and we hate you.
mike pence
That was a good line.
ron desantis
Cheers.
nick fuentes
But he cooked that one before.
martha maccallum
Pre-cooked line.
ron desantis
So here's the thing.
Why are we in this mess?
Part of it is because how this federal government handed COVID-19 by locking down this economy.
It was a mistake.
unidentified
It should have never happened.
vivek ramaswamy
And in Florida, shut up.
ron desantis
We had a lockdown.
We kept our state free and open.
And I can tell you this, as your president, I will never let the deep state bureaucrats lock you down.
You don't take somebody like Fauci and coddle him.
You bring Fauci in, you sit him down and you say, Anthony, you are fired.
unidentified
He's so gay.
You know what?
nick fuentes
He just doesn't have it.
He doesn't have that X Factor.
unidentified
Oh!
martha maccallum
Let's go!
vivek ramaswamy
Eat shit!
because he invoked me back.
Listen, now that everybody's gotten their memorized, pre-prepared slogans-- - Oh! - We can actually have a real discussion.
nick fuentes
- Let's go.
Eat shit.
Eat shit.
mike pence
- Is that one of yours?
vivek ramaswamy
- Not really, Mike, actually.
We're just going to have some fun tonight.
And the reality is, you have a bunch of people, professional politicians, super PAC puppets, following slogans handed over to them by their 400-page super PACs last week.
The real choice we face in this primary is this.
Do you want a super PAC puppet, or do you want a patriot who speaks the truth?
Do you want incremental reform, which is what you're hearing about, or do you want revolution?
And I stand on the side of the American revolution.
mike pence
Love that.
doug burgum
Love that rhetoric.
ron desantis
Love that rhetoric.
martha maccallum
We need to have a moment on the economy.
I think that's fair.
There are two people who have not... We're going to get back to that.
There are two people who we have not heard from yet, so let's hear from Governor Burgum and then from Governor Hutchinson on the economy, sir.
doug burgum
Well, great.
Thank you, Martha.
And, of course, I'm from a town of 300 people.
It's a big deal to make it on this stage with all these folks.
nick fuentes
Who are you?
Who are you?
We don't even know.
doug burgum
They were all wishing me well, and I think I took them a little too literally when they said, go to Milwaukee and break a leg.
But I do want to say on this, we're missing something.
We can't just talk about the Biden economy because the economy, energy, and national security are all tied together.
Of course, we're paying too much for our energy in our country right now.
But part of the reason why is because of the Biden policies on energy.
We've got a plan right now.
The $1.2 trillion of Green New Deal spending buried in the Inflation Creation Act is something that is just subsidizing China.
If we're going to stop buying oil from the Middle East and start buying batteries from China, we're just trading OPEC for Sinopec.
And then belatedly, belatedly, the Biden administration says, no, we're going to put sanctions on Russian oil.
Well, we put sanctions on Russian oil.
Well, then it's 20 percent off.
Who's buying it?
China.
So if you buy a battery in this country, you buy a solar panel.
It's being produced in a power in a plant in China powered by coal or it's being powered by oil and gas at 20 percent off.
And every farmer in this country would like to buy diesel at 20.
20% off, just like they're buying it in China.
unidentified
Governor Hutchison, quickly.
He's cooking.
He cooked.
doug burgum
No, no.
unidentified
We hate you.
Look at this!
Look at this!
Israel flag!
That's crazy.
Southerner, by the way.
I'm a pro-life governor from a conservative state that has a conservative record.
nick fuentes
Israel flagged.
unidentified
That's crazy.
Southerner, by the way.
Southerner.
We have 14% fewer state employees in Arkansas after I left government than when I took over as governor eight years ago.
I tell that because that's what we need in Washington, D.C.
We need somebody who can actually constrain the growth of federal government that can actually reduce the size, and I've pledged to reduce by 10%, our federal non-defense workforce.
That's crazy.
specific pledge to make that attacks the administrative state.
And let me applaud some of the business partners that are here that have had success in business.
nick fuentes
That's crazy.
unidentified
Let me tell you, I've been a federal prosecutor.
nick fuentes
I can't even hear him.
It's too distracting.
unidentified
I've served our country in terms of being head of the DEA, in homeland security, in times of crisis.
And while I think that that's experience that is important for the future of our country to be the president President of the United States that can lead with positive solutions to be held accountable.
bret baier
Thank you.
We have a lot of topics to get to, and I promise we're going to get to everyone if we play within the rules.
Okay, next topic.
More than a thousand people are still unaccounted for in Maui after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century.
Hawaii's governor and White House officials said that climate change amplified the cost of human health.
nick fuentes
That's fake.
martha maccallum
And a tropical storm hit California for the first time in 84 years.
The ocean hit 101 degrees off the coast of Florida.
And in the last month, the heat wave in the southwest broke records nearly 50 years old.
bret baier
So Alexander Diaz from Young America's Foundation has a question for you.
unidentified
Polls consistently show that young people's number one issue is climate change.
How will you, as both President of the United States and leader of the Republican Party, calm their fears that the Republican Party doesn't care about climate change?
martha maccallum
It's not real!
So we want to start with a show of hands.
Do you believe in human behavior is causing climate change?
Raise your hand if you do.
ron desantis
Look, we're not school children.
Let's have the debate.
I mean, I'm happy to take it to start.
bret baier
Alexander, do you want to raise your hand?
nick fuentes
That was good.
ron desantis
I hate shit.
I don't think that's the way to do it.
So let me just say to Alexander this.
unidentified
I hate shit.
ron desantis
First of all, one of the reasons our countries decline is because of the way the corporate media treats Republicans versus Democrats.
Biden was on the beach while those people were suffering.
He was asked about it.
He said, no comment.
Are you kidding me?
As somebody that's handled disasters in Florida, you've got to be activated.
You've got to be there.
You've got to be present.
You've got to be helping people who are doing this.
unidentified
Can we stop?
vivek ramaswamy
Let's just answer the question.
ron desantis
And here's the deal.
martha maccallum
Let's just answer the question.
bret baier
So is that a yes?
Is that a yes?
unidentified
Faced!
bret baier
Is that a hand raise?
martha maccallum
You do not.
vivek ramaswamy
I think it was a hand raise for him, and it's, um, my hands are in my pockets.
ron desantis
No, no, no, I didn't raise a hand.
vivek ramaswamy
Let us be honest as Republicans.
I'm the only person on the stage who isn't bought and paid for, so I can say this.
The climate change agenda is a hoax.
unidentified
That's ridiculous.
vivek ramaswamy
The climate change agenda is a hoax.
unidentified
Face.
nick fuentes
Face.
vivek ramaswamy
And the reality is, the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy.
And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.
nick fuentes
That was awesome.
I love it.
ron desantis
I love it.
unidentified
What a pussy.
chris christie
I've had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT standing up here The last person in one of these debates, Brett, who stood in the middle of the stage and said, what's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here was Barack Obama, and I'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur standing on stage tonight.
unidentified
Damn.
His delivery's not great on the banter.
nick fuentes
The banter's not great.
nikki haley
What I would like to say is the fact that I think this is exactly why Margaret Thatcher said if you want something said, ask a man.
If you want something done, ask a woman.
unidentified
Shut the fuck up, stupid fucking bitch!
nikki haley
First of all, we do care about clean air, clean water.
We want to see that taken care of.
But there's a right way to do it.
And the right way to do it is, first of all, yes, is climate change real?
Yes, it is.
But if you want to go and really change the environment, then we need to start telling China and India that they have to lower their emissions.
That's where our problem is.
And these green subsidies that Biden has put in, all he's done is help China, because he doesn't understand all these electric vehicles that he's done.
What that does, half of the batteries for electric vehicles are made in China.
And so that's not helping the environment.
You're putting money in China's pocket.
And Biden did that.
So first of all, I think we need to acknowledge the truth, which is- The banter's great tonight.
nick fuentes
I'm loving it.
nikki haley
We also need to take on the international The international world?
You have to go to that international world.
Oh, shut up.
nick fuentes
We have to go into that international world.
unidentified
Are you bought and paid for?
tim scott
I'm sorry.
bret baier
Are you bought and paid for?
tim scott
Absolutely not.
I mean, here's what the American people deserve.
It's a debate about the issues that affect their lives.
Going back and forth and being childish is not helpful to the American people to decide on the next leader of our country.
Number one, wait a second.
unidentified
Shut up.
tim scott
As a kid who grew up in a single-parent household, modern poverty, I wondered, was the American dream real for kids who were devastated by poverty, devastated by the challenges of life?
I came to the conclusion that America can do for anyone what she's done for me if we focus on restoring hope, creating opportunities, and protecting America.
If we want the environment to be better, and we all do, the best thing to do is to bring our jobs home from China.
If we create 10 million new jobs in my Made in America plan, we will have a better economy and a better environment.
Let me tell you why I say that, Brett.
America has cut our carbon footprint in half in the last 25 years.
I'm a southern boy, I talk slow.
So America -- Is that why?
That was quick.
America has cut our carbon footprint in half in the last 25 years.
The places where they are continuing to increase, Africa, 950 million people.
India, over a billion.
China over a billion.
Why would we put ourselves at a disadvantage?
Devastating our own economy.
Let's bring our jobs home.
bret baier
We have a lot of different topics to get to.
martha maccallum
Yep, we do.
We thank you all.
Thank you, Senator Scott.
nick fuentes
All right.
martha maccallum
This is awesome.
Let's go!
This is awesome.
Let's go!
nick fuentes
That was awesome.
Great stuff, great stuff. - All right, who do you guys think is winning so far?
Press 1 for Vivek, 2 for DeSantis, 3 for somebody else.
1 Vivek, 2 DeSantis, 3 somebody else.
Quick poll, quick poll.
1 in the chat for Vivek, 2 for DeSantis, 3 someone else.
Let me know what you think.
Seen a lot of 1s.
It's almost all 1s.
Wow, it's all 1s.
I don't think I've seen a not one.
unidentified
I saw one too.
nick fuentes
And a three.
Yeah, okay, Vivek is cooking, man.
He's doing a great job.
Nikki Haley's not doing so bad either, you know, because...
She's got this reputation as a real neocon, so her coming out there swinging against Republicans and doing this, it's both sides.
That's interesting rhetoric.
And it's interesting because she is an establishment candidate, and even though she is establishment, she is playing the anti-establishment card.
And I think this whole night shows the indelible mark that Trump has left on politics, specifically on the Republican side.
Because they're all bringing the banter, they're all aggressive, they're all really trying to...
On the one hand, they're balancing with the experience, because that's conventional part of it, is, oh, I was a governor, I was a, when I was governor, when I was vice president.
But at the same time, some of them are going for this, even they're going for an anti-Republican angle, which I don't know that that was very popular before Trump.
So, that's interesting.
I think Vivek is doing well.
He's very well spoken.
He is kind of getting his lunch eaten.
The banter is not landing.
His banter is not landing.
His response to Chris Christie was good.
He said, oh, well, give me a big hug.
Because if you're young, maybe you don't remember this, but Chris Christie famously gave Barack Obama a hug, I think after Hurricane Sandy.
And Trump and Rand Paul attacked him for that eight years ago.
So that but that didn't quite land when he said oh, give me a hug then it was fire, but he didn't I Don't know that that landed great.
The timing was a little off same thing with Mike Pence I think Mike Pence kind of kicked the shit out of him a little bit.
So the banter's not topped I'm just gonna say I don't think the banter is really landing but he is very effective like he stole the initiative from Mike Pence early on and He grabbed the climate change.
Saying that climate change was a hoax, that was very powerful.
That was very smart to just say it straight up and say, well, I'm not owned, so I can say it's fake.
I thought that was very good.
Besides that, I mean, I know the topic is fiscal conservatism, but it's interesting that that's what all their opening statements were about.
Because the question was about the song.
The question was about this Oliver Anthony song and broadly about Bidenomics and they're all effectively giving their opening statements and it's all just about money.
Like, I didn't hear immigration mentioned one time.
It's all been about energy and the budget.
Which, you know, in the same way that maybe this shows how the style has changed, people are more pugnacious like Trump, at the same time the substance has slid back.
I'm talking about their tactics are Trumpian, but the things that they're saying sound like the pre-Trump Republican Party, the way they're all talking about debt, spending, unemployment, inflation.
Not that those things aren't important, they are, it's a big deal, but That was not front and center in the last two elections.
The last two elections were about a culture war, really.
And immigration being at the center of that, so... I guess we'll have to wait and see as the debate goes on.
I'm sure immigration will be brought up eventually, but those were the opening statements.
And everybody's opening statement was a prosperity agenda.
So I thought that was interesting.
But alright, it looks like we're back!
Let's see how we're doing!
Round two.
martha maccallum
Abortion has been a losing issue for Republicans since the Dobbs decision.
In six state referendums, all have upheld abortion rights in this country.
And even in red states, there are more swing state referendums that are coming up as we head into the elections as well on this.
So, Governor Haley, what do you say to your party and to your state, which today confirmed a six-week abortion law as well, especially the impact on women suburban voters across this country?
nikki haley
Thank you, Martha.
I am unapologetically pro-life.
unidentified
I love her hair.
Her hair's so voluminous.
nikki haley
Not because the Republican Party tells me to be, but because my husband was adopted and I had trouble having both of my children, so I'm surrounded by blessings.
Having said that, we need to stop demonizing this issue.
This is talking about the fact that unelected justices didn't need to decide something this personal, because it's personal for every woman and man.
Now it's been put in the hands of the people.
That's great.
When it comes to a federal ban, let's be honest with the American people and say it will take 60 Senate votes, it will take a majority of the House.
So in order to do that, let's find consensus.
Can't we all agree that we should ban late-term abortions?
Can't we all agree that we should encourage adoptions?
Can't we all agree that doctors and nurses who don't believe in abortion shouldn't have to perform them?
Can't we all agree that contraception should be available?
And can't we all agree that we are not going to put a woman in jail or give her the death penalty?
unidentified
No!
nikki haley
What?
martha maccallum
No!
nick fuentes
No, we can't agree.
nikki haley
Let's treat this like a respectful issue that it is and humanize the situation and stop demonizing the situation.
unidentified
Yeah, you lost me about not giving women the death penalty.
bret baier
Oh, look at his face!
President Pence, Governor DeSantis, you signed a six-week abortion ban in Florida.
One of the biggest financial backers said that you need to, quote, shift to get moderates or you will lose.
What do you say to him and others who say politically that is a tough thing to sell nationally?
ron desantis
Well, I would say we sold the biggest election landslide victory in the history of the Republican Party in the state of Florida in 2022.
That's what I did.
We can win.
But second of all, look, you got to do what you think is right.
I believe in a culture of life.
I was proud to sign the heartbeat bill.
I remember the most impactful moments of my life.
was when I heard the heartbeat of my oldest daughter in my wife's womb and then saw the sonograms of all three of my kids.
What the Democrats are trying to do on this issue is wrong to allow abortion all the way up to the moment of birth.
I know a lady in Florida named Penny.
She survived multiple abortion attempts.
She was left discarded in a pan.
Fortunately, her grandmother saved her and brought her to a different hospital.
We're better than what the Democrats Good answer, but a little weaselly.
not going to allow abortion all the way up till birth and we will hold them accountable for their extremism.
bret baier
But just to be clear, Governor, would you say that?
nick fuentes
Good answer, but a little weaselly, little.
Well, we won't allow it up till birth.
ron desantis
It's like, well, look, I understand Wisconsin is going to do it different than Texas.
I understand Iowa and New Hampshire are going to do different, but I will support the cause of life as governor and as president.
tim scott
Vice President Pence, you're shaking your head.
bret baier
Hold on, hold on, hold on, Senator.
Vice President Pence, you're shaking your head.
unidentified
What?
mike pence
Well, look, I'm not new to this cause.
After I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I opened up the book and I read, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
And see, I set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life.
And I knew from that moment on, the cause of life had to be my cause.
And I've been a champion for life in the Congress, a champion for life as governor and as vice president.
And to be honest with you, Nikki, you're my friend, but consensus is the opposite of leadership.
unidentified
Ooh, true!
Facts.
Mmm, face.
mike pence
True.
nick fuentes
Fast.
unidentified
True.
mike pence
Fast.
They didn't just send it to the states only.
It's not a states only issue.
It's a moral issue.
And I promise you as president of the United States, the American people will have a champion for life in the Oval Office.
Can't we have a minute?
minimum standard in every state in the nation that says when a baby is capable of feeling pain, an abortion cannot be allowed.
A 15-week ban is an idea whose time has come.
It's supported by 70% of the American people, but it's going to take unapologetic leadership, leadership that stands on principle and expresses compassion for women in crisis pregnancies.
I'll do that as president of the United States.
unidentified
He called my name, so I'm not going to respond to that.
Traitor, but good answer.
nikki haley
So first of all, I will say it is in the hands of the people and that's where it should be.
But when you're talking about a federal ban, be honest with the American people.
We haven't had 45 pro-life senators in over 100 years, so no Republican president can ban abortions any more than a Democrat president can ban all those state laws.
Don't make women feel like they have to decide on this issue when you know we don't have 60 Senate votes in the house 70 of the american people support legislation but 70 of the senate does not damn hold on 70 of the senate does not you have to be honest with the american people
martha maccallum
let's get governor bergerman for one one minute here um so but the supreme court did overturn Roe v. Wade.
And the result of that decision was that it went back to the states.
So that's where it is right now.
So as I understand it, you are not in favor of a federal ban.
nick fuentes
He's got a great What do you say?
Physiotomy.
martha maccallum
Great phenotype.
nick fuentes
He's got like a classic American phenotype.
martha maccallum
That allow abortion up until the time of birth, though.
unidentified
If you were president, would you be able to abide that?
doug burgum
Well, first of all, I'm a pro-life governor of a very pro-life state.
And And this issue is, of course, very important.
But I am on the record and I stand behind that we should not have a federal abortion ban.
We should not.
And the reason why we shouldn't is very simple.
It's the 10th Amendment in the Constitution.
I thought we were past the pocket Constitution.
It says that there were certain duties allowed to the federal government Come on.
Freedom and liberty!
Here's my pocket constitution!
The rest are left to the states, or to the people.
We need to get back to freedom and liberty for the people in this country.
Come on.
Freedom and liberty!
nick fuentes
Here's my pocket constitution!
unidentified
I thought we were not going to turn it back to the states.
doug burgum
And then the next day they turn around and go, "No, the feds should do that." Because the feds are stepping into people's lives, they're stepping into people's businesses, over and over.
If we say that the Fed should be in on this one, where do we stop?
I say that we follow the Constitution, and this is return to the states.
This is where it should be.
bret baier
But Governor Burgum, you signed a six-week ban.
You signed a six-week ban.
Governor Burgum, you signed a six-week ban.
So you're saying, federally, it's all going to go to the states?
doug burgum
Israel.
He doesn't even look human.
Look at his eyes.
Look at his eyes!
Lizard Jew.
This guy's a freak.
bret baier
50 states.
That's right here.
doug burgum
50 states.
unidentified
This is too important of an issue that I have to address.
nick fuentes
Israel.
unidentified
First of all, the Supreme Court gave it back to the elected representatives.
nick fuentes
He doesn't even look human.
Look at his eyes.
bret baier
Look at his eyes.
unidentified
Or whether it's the United States Congress.
Lizard shoe.
doug burgum
There is authority.
unidentified
And that's why President Biden is pushing for a Democrat proposal, which is, in essence, abortion on demand through the term.
nick fuentes
And a traitor.
unidentified
So they have their extreme position at a national level.
We, it's most likely going to be addressed in the states, but it's certainly fine for it to be addressed at the national level as well.
Arkansas has the record of being the most pro-life state in the nation.
I signed 30 pro-life pieces of legislation while I was governor.
And every state can determine a different outcome here.
And it is the most important issue for women and for the unborn child and for our country that we get this right.
It's going to be a continued debate.
Let's talk about it in terms of compassion, in terms of protecting the life, and also understanding how we have to enhance abortion, excuse me, adoption.
services, how we have to enhance maternal care, those things we've done in Arkansas and are important for our nation's future.
bret baier
There are a lot of issues that are very important.
Senator, I'll let you weigh in.
tim scott
We cannot let states like California, New York, and Illinois have abortions on demand up until the day of birth.
That is immoral.
It is unethical.
It is wrong.
We must have a President of the United States who will advocate and fight for, at the minimum, a 15-week limit.
I am 100% pro-life conservative.
I have a 100% pro-life record.
I gotta tell you, though.
We can't leave it to Illinois.
We can't leave it to Minnesota.
We can't leave it to Illinois.
gave us inalienable rights that include life.
That is a list.
unidentified
That is an issue we must solve.
tim scott
We can't leave it to Illinois.
We can't leave it to Minnesota.
We can't leave it to Illinois.
We must solve that issue with a 15-week rule.
nick fuentes
Illinois, Minnesota, Illinois.
nikki haley
I think we're all pro-life.
bret baier
Thank you.
nick fuentes
Is that Bill Cosby?
nikki haley
Someone to ask Biden and Kamala Harris, are they for 30?
Thank you.
Is that Bill Cosby?
bret baier
Alright, another issue is America and the crime crisis, the homelessness crisis.
American cities are in decline.
People are moving out as homelessness, drugs, crime move in.
There are problems accelerated.
They did accelerate during the pandemic and are still rising actually.
martha maccallum
Murders in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, all up 30% between 2019 and 2022.
Homelessness is up 11%, the largest jump in recorded history.
Vice President Pence, a lot of this began in the COVID era.
How much of what we're seeing happening around this country is a result of those COVID lockdowns, and is your administration in part to blame for how we got here?
mike pence
Well, I think what's in part to blame is that Democrats have been talking about defunding the police for the last five years.
And we ought to be funding law enforcement, particularly in our major cities, at unprecedented levels.
I mean, it's extraordinary to think about the violence that's claiming innocent lives literally every week in every major city in this country.
Where's Vivek?
We haven't heard from Vivek once since the break.
continue to work out their fanciful agendas, to do bail reform and go easy.
What we need is strong commitment to law enforcement.
nick fuentes
Where's the fact?
We haven't heard from the fact once since the break.
mike pence
That'll marshal the resources of the states, marshal the resources of the people.
nick fuentes
He's cooking too much.
mike pence
But let me also say it's about opportunity.
Why's he bringing that up?
don't know that those trump pence tax cuts that we got signed into law go away at the end of 2025 if we don't have a republican president and a republican house and a republican senate why is he bringing that when i'm president of the united states we're actually going to cut taxes further we're going to extend those tax cuts and we're going to close the federal department of education block grant all what does that have to do with this to the states with a growing He looks gray.
You know how people look gray before they're about to die?
We will bring our cities back.
bret baier
Governor Christie, another issue.
This weekend here in Milwaukee, reports say there were 30 shootings.
nick fuentes
He looks like he's dying.
He looks great.
You know how people look great before they're about to die?
bret baier
I'll add that to the big increase in school shootings around the country.
nick fuentes
He's not looking good.
bret baier
Democrats blame this crisis on easy access to guns.
They also blame Republicans for blocking gun control legislation.
What would President Christie do?
chris christie
You know, I'm proud of the fact, Brett, that I'm the only person along with Governor Hutchinson up on this stage who's actually running United States Attorney's Office.
I ran the fifth largest office in America in a state where there is significant urban crime.
The problem is not going to be solved by more money.
The problem is that these prosecutors in these localities in the states are refusing to do their job and to arrest violent criminals.
So what President Christie would do is appoint an attorney general who would instruct each of the 93 U.S.
attorneys that they are to take over.
the prosecution of violent crime in every one of those cities that are failing to do so.
We have plenty of room in the federal prisons to lock up these violent criminals and clean up what's going on all across this country in these individual cities.
Secondly, what we need to make sure that each and every one of these criminals understand is that the laws apply to everybody.
And when Hunter Biden fills out, Is that why it's happening?
a false application for a gun permit.
And then it's facing a 10-year mandatory minimum, which was mandated by legislation sponsored by his father.
And then you have a Justice Department that walks away from those charges.
We're telling people that the law doesn't apply to everybody.
Is that why it's happening?
He would go to jail for 10 years.
nick fuentes
Black people are like, Hunter Biden got away with it.
vivek ramaswamy
here we go so the reality is we have a crime wave in this country and we know how to fix it the question is do we actually have the spine to do it more cops in the streets who are on the streets able to do their jobs without looking over their shoulder for getting sued and we also have a mental health epidemic in this country just over the the same period that we have closed mental health institutions, we have seen a spike in violent crime.
Do we have the spine to bring them back?
I think we should as president, I will bring them back.
But it's not just drugging up people in those psychiatric institutions with Zoloft and Seroquel.
It's a deeper issue.
I think faith based approaches can play a role here too.
We're in the middle of a national identity crisis.
And I say this as a member of my generation.
The problem in our country right now, the reason we have that mental health epidemic, is that people are so hungry for purpose and meaning at a time when family, faith, patriotism, hard work have all disappeared.
What we really need is a tonal reset from the top, saying that this is what it means to be an American.
Yes, we will stand for the rule of law.
Yes, we will close the southern border where criminals are coming in every day.
And yes, we will back law enforcement because we remember who we really are.
And that's also how we address that mental health epidemic in the next generation that is directly leading to violent crime across this country.
bret baier
I was fired.
They didn't like that.
nick fuentes
The audience didn't like that, but that was good.
mike pence
We're not looking for a new national identity.
The American people are the most faith-filled, freedom-loving, idealistic, hard-working people the world has ever known.
nick fuentes
That is so cringe.
vivek ramaswamy
Mike, I think the difference is you might have, as some others like you may have on this stage, it's mourning in America speech.
It is not mourning in America.
streamlabs matthew tts
Let's go!
nick fuentes
That's fire!
Yes!
vivek ramaswamy
It's a sort of cold cultural civil war.
nick fuentes
Yes, yes, yes.
mike pence
We just need government as good as our people again.
vivek ramaswamy
So let me just finish addressing that slogan because I don't know what that slogan means.
We need to shut down the administrative state.
That's actually how we translate it.
bret baier
Crime has been on the rise in Florida.
nick fuentes
That was awesome.
bret baier
That was awesome.
ron desantis
Actually, crime's at a 50-year low in Florida.
We're happy with that.
Well, the statewide, it's a 50-year low.
So here's the thing.
These hollowed out cities, this is a symptom of America's decline.
And one of the biggest reasons is because you have George Soros funding these radical left-wing district attorneys.
They get into office and they say they're not going to prosecute crimes.
They disagree with the inmates start running the asylum.
There's one guy in this entire country that's ever done anything about that.
unidentified
Me.
ron desantis
When we had two of these district attorneys in Florida elected with Soros funding who said they wouldn't do their job, I removed them from their posts.
They are gone.
And as president, as president, we are going to go after all of these people because they are hurting the quality of life and they are victimizing innocent people in every corner of this country and it will stop when I get into office.
doug burgum
Because there's no black people.
There ain't no black people around these small towns.
Try that in a small town!
Fella, try that in a small town!
- I agree with this implicit white nationalist message.
unidentified
This guy is an alien Jewish fed.
Pull up your pants!
nick fuentes
This guy's a fat.
This guy is an alien Jewish fat.
unidentified
Whenever you look at the challenges in our inner city, there's three simple words that would be helpful.
One, enforce the law when it comes to crime.
nick fuentes
Pull up your pants.
unidentified
Secondly, let's deal with the challenge of fentanyl.
And it's both about stopping the...
Thirdly, no rap music.
Secondly, pull up your pants.
Mexico, but it's also about education of our young people, making sure that we have the tools that are needed for addiction counseling.
That's what we expanded in Arkansas as well.
nick fuentes
And no rap music.
Thirdly, no rap music.
unidentified
No one likes to see an America with smashing grass in our inner cities.
As president of the United States, that will stop.
It starts at the Brett.
with respect for our justice system, that a former president who's under indictment has undermined by attacking judges, by attacking prosecutors, by attacking the system and saying he's aggrieved.
And so we have to have respect for our justice system and the rule of law, and it starts at the top with the president of the United States.
bret baier
Thank you.
unidentified
Hold on.
martha maccallum
Let me take a break.
So, thinking of that, right now you are looking live at Fulton County Jail, where former President Donald Trump will be processed tomorrow.
So next the candidates will have an opportunity to talk about the coming trials of Donald Trump.
unidentified
Oh!
Here we go.
nick fuentes
That's going to be interesting.
unidentified
Okay.
nick fuentes
Well mid-game that was kind of boring.
They keep, they're really coming for Vivek.
Mike Pence is really gunning for him because he's honestly kind of like the front-runner.
DeSantis had a strong answer on crime.
They all had pretty good statements on pro-life.
Mike Pence had a very solid statement on abortion.
Nikki Haley not so much.
Tim Scott did okay.
We didn't hear too much though from Vivek.
It was a lot of Tim Scott it felt like that time.
Very Tim Scott heavy.
That was amazing, though, and it was crazy that Mike Pence interjected and said, well, Americans are God-fearing and blah blah.
And you just realize how out of touch these people are.
I love the generational clash.
You have this old fucking boomer who's gonna go up there and say, we need a government as good as our people.
unidentified
Our people?
nick fuentes
It's like, no, dude.
No, we are losing the popular vote every time.
That's old people.
Old people are like that.
Yeah, old people are so God-fearing, rooting-tooting.
Not young people!
Half the young people aren't even white!
And most of them aren't Christian.
And that is the case the younger that you get.
And that's the trend, of course.
That's our elites, and that's the trend.
So I love when Vivek comes in.
The morning in America was chef's kiss.
That was beautiful.
Because it's true.
They are still living in the 80s.
They're literally living in Ronald Reagan's America.
It's morning in America.
And Vivek says, no it's not.
It's dark.
Yes!
Finally someone said it.
That was part of the initial appeal of Trump.
I feel like that a lot of people don't talk about anymore.
He was the first guy, I think, ever to come out and say, like, our country is dead.
He was the first guy to come out and say, look, the American dream is dead.
And, like, things are terrible.
Like, it's American carnage.
unidentified
You remember he said that during his inaugural?
nick fuentes
American carnage.
And everybody, all the media critiqued it and said, oh, it's so dark, it's so... But he was right.
Everybody, especially conservatives, feel it because it's our values that are under attack.
So for Vivek to say that, that was masterful.
Look at this Black Rifle coffee.
Nice.
They should have went out of business because they're all faggots, but whatever.
Anyway.
And they disavowed Kyle Rittenhouse.
But anyway, so that was amazing.
Mike Pence jumps in.
It's just outrageous that people even believe that or can say that.
We need a government as good as our people.
It's like our people, our people are walking mozzarella sticks and the rest of them are black.
unidentified
So, we need a government as good as our people.
nick fuentes
The people, look at the people.
unidentified
The people are vulgar and crass.
nick fuentes
The people are walking around at Walmart with flip-flops on and they're drinking syrup by the bottle.
And that's just your white people.
Forget about even the black criminals and the Hispanic immigrants and everything else.
That's insane.
unidentified
We need a government as good as our people.
nick fuentes
And if that goes in, hey, listen, bitch.
Hey, listen up, boomer.
It's not morning in America anymore.
It's twilight.
That was perfect.
Loved that.
He's on the money when he says they want incremental reform, I want a revolution.
Climate change is a hoax.
It's not morning in America.
This is dark.
We're gonna reset.
Like, that was... I'm so down with Vivek.
I think he's excellent.
I don't like that he's not a Christian, but otherwise he's good.
And addressing the identity, that was the first time I've ever heard that in a presidential debate, to say American identity, and say we have an identity crisis, faith, family, hard work are going down the tubes.
That was excellent.
So...
I think he's the winner.
I'm very curious to see what the reaction will be if there's any sort of, like, polling that goes on.
You know, sometimes they do the Frank Luntz focus group, whatever.
I'm curious to see how these clips will carry on social media if he'll be considered, like, the viral winner of the debate.
Because I think he's doing very well, but I don't know how it's being received.
The audience isn't receiving it very well.
What's going on?
This is Frozen?
unidentified
Okay.
Here we go.
Here we go.
nick fuentes
Round three.
Round three.
One hour to go.
Round three.
One hour to go.

This GOP primary debate policy discussions the Americans want to hear you all on.
China, Ukraine, immigration, education.
But we are going to take a brief moment and talk about the elephant not in the room.
martha maccallum
Former President Trump has been indicted in four different states on 91 counts.
He will be processed tomorrow in Georgia at the Fulton County Jail for charges relating to the 2020 election loss.
bret baier
You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee.
If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party's choice?
Please raise your hand if you would.
unidentified
Whoa!
Wow, that was really bad.
Here's the bottom line.
bret baier
- Let's be clear, Governor Christie, you were kind of late to the game there, but you raised your hand.
chris christie
- No, I'm doing this.
Look, look, I'm doing this, not this. - And I know you didn't.
unidentified
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
chris christie
- No, come, what's the... - And look, what, what, what, look, here's the, here's the bottom line.

Okay?

That was a troll move, but he goes, you can go on what.
Based!
vivek ramaswamy
That was kind of funny.
Let's go.
unidentified
Based?
vivek ramaswamy
And Chris Christie, honest to God, your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against one man.
unidentified
Let's go.
Let's go.
Awesome.
vivek ramaswamy
I see a bunch of people blindly bashing Donald Trump without an iota of vision for this country.
They could just change the channel to MSNBC right now.
unidentified
Epic.
Epic.
vivek ramaswamy
But I'm not running for president of MSNBC.
I am running for president of the United States.
We're skating on thin ice and we cannot set a precedent where the party in power uses police force to indict its political opponents.
It is wrong.
unidentified
Yup.
Facts.
Let's go.

bret baier
So listen, the more time we spend doing this, the less time they can talk about issues you want to talk about.
So let's just get through this section.
Governor Christie.
chris christie
You sit here talking about how you want to stand up for the rule of law.
vivek ramaswamy
Yes.
chris christie
And law and order.
And the fact is that it can't be selective.
In your book, you had much different things to say about Donald Trump than you're saying here tonight.
unidentified
That's not true.
chris christie
No, it is very true.
vivek ramaswamy
That is not true.
chris christie
It's very true.
unidentified
I read it, and I know— Because there's a difference between bad behavior and illegal behavior, Chris, and you as a prosecutor should know better.
chris christie
You know what?
unidentified
I know a lot better.
There's a difference between bad behavior.
chris christie
I know a lot better than you do.
You've never done it like you've never done anything to try to advance the interests of this government, except to put yourself forward as a candidate tonight.
And here's the thing.
We've stood up for law and order.
I did it as U.S.
attorney.
I did it as governor.
And I am not going to bow to anyone when we have a president of the United States who disrespects the Constitution.
He said— He said, he said, Martha, it's important to say that the president said, Donald Trump said, it's okay to suspend the Constitution.
Now, the oath you take is to preserve, protect, and defend, not suspend.
I will always stand up for our Constitution, regardless of the political pressure.
martha maccallum
We have another question for you.
We're going to get everyone in on this issue.

What a disgusting table.
martha maccallum
I have another question.
Hold on, you will.
All right, so President Trump's former vice president is on this stage tonight.
He has faced hecklers on the campaign trail over his actions on January the 6th.
On that day, the vice president moved forward with the certification of the election.
nick fuentes
Traitor.
martha maccallum
So do you believe that Mike Pence did the right thing, Senator Scott?
Do you believe he did the right thing?
tim scott
Absolutely.
He did the right thing.
Number one.
Number two.
nick fuentes
Another traitor.
tim scott
We should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the Department of Justice.
When I'm president, the first thing I'll do is fire Merrick Garland.
Secondly, I'll do fire Christopher Wray because we need Lady Justice to wear a blindfold.
Without that, no one has confidence in our justice system.
Seventeen percent of Republicans have confidence in our Department of Justice.
Here's why.
We keep seeing not only the weaponization of the Department of Justice against political opponents, but also against parents who show up at school board meetings.
They're called under this DOJ.
They're called domestic terrorists.
vivek ramaswamy
Firing Christopher Reeve.
tim scott
But that's not it.
vivek ramaswamy
Shut down the FBI.
bret baier
Mr. Ramirez.
vivek ramaswamy
Let's go.
unidentified
Let's fucking go.
martha maccallum
Yes.
tim scott
Not only that, in addition to this.
This guy's dumb.
He's slow.
MLK, really?
show up at a pro-life activist home with guns drawn because this DOJ uses their power, uses their authority, not just against political opponents, but against conservatives and conservative causes.
It is time for a change in America, and I will bring that change to the greatest nation on God's green earth.
nick fuentes
MLK, really?
unidentified
Now he's MLK.
martha maccallum
Do you believe that Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th?
ron desantis
So here's what we need to do.
We need to end the weaponization of these federal agents.
unidentified
That's not the question.
bret baier
I know, but here's the thing.
ron desantis
This election is not about January 6th of 2021.
This election is not about January 6th of 2021.
It's about January 20th of 2025, when the next president is going to take office.
I know what the Democrats would like to do.
They want to talk about all these other issues, but we've got to focus on your future.
We've got to focus on reversing the decline of our country.
I learned in the military, I was assigned with U.S.
Navy SEALs in Iraq, that you focus on the mission above all else.
You can't get distracted.
So, Republicans, we've got to look forward, and we've got to make sure that we're bringing the message that can win in November 2020.
mike pence
Vice President Pence, the election of the president of the United States is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
I think the American people deserve to know whether everyone on this stage agrees that I kept my oath to the Constitution that day.
There's no more important duty.
ron desantis
So answer the question.
I've answered this before.
Mike did his duty.
I got no beef with him.
But here's the thing.
Is this what we're going to be focusing on going forward?
The rehashing of this?
I'll tell you, the Democrats would love that.
And they will win if we let him get away with it.
unidentified
I'm not letting Bobby hang out in the basement this time.
We're going to run him racket around this country, and we're going to hold him accountable.
bret baier
Let me just say, Governor DeSantis, we spent an hour talking about policy.
Former President Trump is beating you by 30, 40 points in many polls.
Is he gonna talk about me?
in the GOP primary.
Governor Hutchinson, you did not raise your hand.
unidentified
I did not raise my hand because there's an important issue we as a party have to face.
Oh, my God.
And over a year ago, I said that Donald Trump was morally disqualified from being president again as a result of what happened on January 6th.
Oh.
mike pence
More people are understanding I thought he was going to say because of the lapel pin.
unidentified
Including conservative legal scholars who says he may be disqualified under the 14th Amendment from being...
nick fuentes
I thought he was going to say because of the papal pen.
unidentified
I thought he was going to say because he met with anti-Semites.
This is something that could disqualify him under our rules and under the Constitution.
And so, obviously, I'm not going to support somebody who's been convicted of a serious felony or who is disqualified under our Constitution.
And that's consistent with RNC rules.
And I hope everybody would agree with me.
chris christie
Martha, can I answer the question?
mike pence
Can I get in on this?
chris christie
I'd like to answer the question you asked and not give a pre-canned speech.
-Vice President Pence? -All right, I'd like to answer the question you asked and not give a pre-canned speech. Mike Pence stood for the Constitution, and he deserves not grudging credit. He deserves our thanks as Americans for putting his oath of office and the Constitution of the United States before personal, political, and unfair pressure.
And the argument that we need to have in this party, before we can move on to the issues that Ron talked about, is we have to dispense with the person who said that we need to suspend the Constitution to put forward his political career.
Mike Pence said no, and he deserves credit for it.
unidentified
Two rats.
martha maccallum
You agree that Vice President Pence did the right thing that day or not?
nikki haley
I do think that Vice President Pence did the right thing.
And I do think that we need to give him credit for that.
But what I will also tell you is, look, I mean, when it comes to whether President Trump should serve or not, I trust the American people.
Let them vote.
Let them decide.
But what they will tell you is that it is time for a new generational conservative leader.
We have to look at the fact that three-quarters of Americans don't want a rematch between Trump and Biden.
And we have to face the fact that Trump is the most disliked politician in America.
We can't win a general election that way.
martha maccallum
Governor Berger?
mike pence
Terrible.
unidentified
Governor Berger?
martha maccallum
It's Governor Berger an opportunity.
doug burgum
Happy to answer the question.
Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th.
But I want to say, you started off the top of this hour saying we're going to talk about China, Ukraine, education.
bret baier
We are.
doug burgum
China is the number one threat to our country, and every minute that these eight candidates spend talking about the past instead of the future is time that is just... You know who loves it?
Biden loves it, but China loves it when we're talking about the past.
martha maccallum
Okay, as promised, we were gonna spend a few questions on it, let people say what they wanted to say, and now, indeed, we are moving on to the subject of- The U.S.
bret baier
has committed nearly 77- Can I speak on this issue?
martha maccallum
I was kind of involved.
You did answer on this.
bret baier
You did say something.
We thought you were done, but you- No, I wasn't done.
vivek ramaswamy
Well, Mike, why don't you say this?
Join me in making a commitment that on day one you would pardon Donald Trump.
I'm the only candidate on this stage who had the courage to- YEAH!
unidentified
I actually assume that Donald Trump will be convicted of these crimes.
vivek ramaswamy
You should be able to make a commitment.
The same justice system that was this corrupt.
mike pence
There's a difference between you and me.
vivek ramaswamy
I'm not a professional politician.
doug burgum
That's the difference.
vivek ramaswamy
You can answer the question.
mike pence
I've actually given pardons.
When I was governor of the state of Indiana, it usually follows a finding of guilt and contrition by the individual that's been convicted.
So, if I'm president of the United States, we'll give fair consideration to any pardon request.
But if I'm mad, if I'm mad, You know, it's not about looking back at January 2021.
It's about January 20th, 2017.
I put my left hand on Ronald Reagan's Bible, I raised my right hand, and I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and it ended with a prayer, so help me God.
It was a promise that I made to the American people, but I also made it This is a powerful moment.
nick fuentes
This is a powerful moment.
mike pence
Every day for four years I sought to keep that oath.
unidentified
Wow.
mike pence
And everyone on this stage needs to make it clear whether or not they'll do the same if they earn this job and the confidence of the American people.
Look, I've made it clear.
I had hoped that the issues surrounding the 2020 election and the controversies around January 6th had not come to this, had not come to criminal proceedings.
I would rather they have been resolved by the American people and the American people alone.
But no one's above the law.
And President Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence that every American is entitled to.
And we will make sure and extend that to him.
But the American people deserve to know that the president asked me in his request that I reject or return votes unilaterally, power that no vice president in American history had ever exercised or taken.
He asked me to put him over the Constitution.
And I chose the Constitution.
And I always will.
I had no right to overturn the election, and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024.
bret baier
Thank you, Vice President Pence.
Now we are moving on to other issues.
We would not support it.
unidentified
Awesome.
bret baier
So awesome.
$77 billion in aid to the Ukraine war.
The administration is now asking Congress for $24 billion more.
Regardless of that, the specifics of that plan, is there anyone on stage who would not support the increase of more funding to Ukraine? - We would not support it. - Awesome, so awesome.
ron desantis
Our guide.
nick fuentes
He's the guy, dude.
He's him.
ron desantis
- But you would not too, Governor DeSantis? - I will have Europe pull their weight.
Right now they're not doing that. - You would not support more funds like a no to me. - And I think our support should be contingent on them doing it, and I would have support in China to be able to take China and do what we need.
Awesome.
So awesome.
bret baier
Mr. Ramaswamy, you would not support an increase of funding to Ukraine.
unidentified
Yes.
vivek ramaswamy
I would not.
And I think that this is disastrous.
Awesome.
nick fuentes
So awesome.
vivek ramaswamy
It's an invasion across somebody else's border when we should use those same military resources to prevent across the invasion of our own southern border here in the United States.
unidentified
Yes.
ron desantis
Awesome.
nick fuentes
Awesome.
unidentified
Yep.
Yes.
Kiev.
vivek ramaswamy
The Russia-China alliance is the single greatest threat we face.
And I find it offensive that we have professional politicians on the stage that will make a pilgrimage to Kiev, to their pope, Zelensky, without doing the same thing for people in Maui or the south side of Chicago or Kensington.
I think that we have to put the interests of Americans first.
Secure our own border instead of somebody else's.
And the reality is, this is also how we project strength by making America strong at home.
bret baier
We heard the names.
nick fuentes
Keep interrupting, though.
That's not right.
chris christie
I did go to Ukraine.
And I went to Ukraine because I wanted to see for myself what Vladimir Putin's army was doing to the free Ukrainian people.
And let me tell you, I want you all to look around this arena tonight and imagine that every one of these seats was filled.
And if every one of them was filled, there would still be 2,500 more children outside to make over 20,000 who have been abducted, stolen, ripped from their mothers and fathers, and brought back to Russia to be programmed to fight their own families.
They have gouged out people's eyes, cut off their ears, and Shot people in the back of the head, men, and then gone into those homes and raped the daughters and the wives who were left as widows and orphans.
This is, this is the Vladimir Putin.
This is the Vladimir Putin.
Who Donald Trump called brilliant and a genius.
If we don't stand up against this type of autocratic killing in the world, we will be next.
unidentified
I love the booing.
nick fuentes
They're heckling him.
unidentified
I have a question for Governor Haley.
We'll come back.
bret baier
Vice President Pence was mentioned.
You get 30 seconds.
mike pence
Yeah, well, let me be clear.
Anybody that thinks that we can't solve the problems here in the United States and be the leader of the free world, Oh, shut the fuck up!
Pretty small view of the United States!
nick fuentes
Shut the fuck up.
mike pence
We can do both, Reveque.
We've done both.
We've been the leader of the free world.
unidentified
British ball view of the United States.
mike pence
The Reagan Doctrine years ago made it clear.
bret baier
Shut the fuck up.
mike pence
We said if you're willing to fight the communists on your soil, we'll give you the means to fight them there so our troops don't have to fight them.
Vivek, if we do the giveaway that you want to give to Putin to give him his land, it's not going to be too long before he rolls across a NATO border and frankly our men and women of our armed forces are going to have to go and fight him.
I want to let the Ukrainians fight and drive Putin and the Russians back out into Russia.
vivek ramaswamy
So our troops aren't going to have to make that fight.
I have a newsflash.
The USSR does not exist anymore.
It fell back in 1990.
unidentified
It's a real threat.
vivek ramaswamy
You talked about the communists.
And the real communists that we have to address right now... Do you not have any idea what Vladimir Putin's aims are?
You already spoke.
mike pence
Vladimir Putin has been saying he wants to re-establish the old Soviet sphere.
vivek ramaswamy
He's not aggressive enough.
mike pence
I'm sorry if I insulted him by calling him a communist.
He is a dictator and a murderer and the United States of America needs to stand He's getting steamrolled.
vivek ramaswamy
The real threat we face today is communist China.
And we are driving Russia further into China's arms.
The Russia-China military alliance is the single greatest threat we face.
Nobody in either political party is talking about it.
unidentified
And I am the only non-neocon on this stage.
vivek ramaswamy
But it will keep us out of war.
bret baier
Mr. Vice President, we can't hear.
Mr. Vice President.
They're just letting him.
mike pence
But Vivek is letting him too.
These people are insane.
nick fuentes
They're just letting him.
But Vivek is letting him, too.
mike pence
These people are insane.
unidentified
Shut the fuck up, bitch. - Yes. - That means your time's done. - They're done.
bret baier
So, Mr. Vice President, we appreciate your aggressiveness here.
30 seconds is 30 seconds.
Mr. Ramaswamy, you were mentioned.
You get 30 seconds.
vivek ramaswamy
So the reality is that today, Ukraine is not the priority for the United States of America.
And I think that the same people who took us into the Iraq war, the same people who took us into the Vietnam war, you cannot end it.
You cannot start another no-win war.
And I do not want to get to the point where we're sending our military resources abroad when we could be better using them here at home to protect our own borders, protect the homeland.
That will be my top priority in foreign policy.
martha maccallum
I think we gave you more than the 30 seconds in the rebuttal.
So I do want to get to some other people because we respect everybody's time here.
unidentified
That's the thing with these guys they're like smart and they're quick and clever, but they're not fighters Initially called it a territorial dispute it was a good answer, but he got steamrolled First of all, the American president needs to have moral clarity.
nikki haley
They need to know the difference between right and wrong.
They need to know the difference between good and evil.
When you look at the situation with Russia and Ukraine, here you have a pro-American country that was invaded by a thug.
So when you want to talk about what has been given to Ukraine, less than 3.5% of our defense budget has been given to Ukraine.
If you look at the percentages per GDP, 11 of the European countries have given more than the U.S.
But what's really important is go back to when China and Russia held hands, shook hands before the Olympics and named themselves unlimited partners.
A win for Russia is a win for China.
We have to know that.
unidentified
Insane.
nikki haley
Ha!
unidentified
Israel!
nikki haley
That's a lot of rap.
- Wow. - And the problem that Vivek doesn't understand is, he wants to hand Ukraine to Russia.
He wants to let China eat Taiwan.
He wants to go and stop funding Israel.
unidentified
You don't do that to friends.
nikki haley
What you do instead is you have the backs of your friends.
Ukraine is the front line of defense.
Putin has said, if Russia wants Russia to take it.
martha maccallum
are insane.
nikki haley
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 Progozin.
When I was at the UN, the Russian ambassador suddenly died.
This guy is a murderer.
And you are choosing a murderer over a pro-American country.
unidentified
First of all, first of all.
bret baier
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
vivek ramaswamy
I wish you well in your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon.
unidentified
But the fact of the matter, Boeing came off of it, but you've been pushing this lie.
vivek ramaswamy
You've been pushing this lie all week, Nicky.
nikki haley
You want to go and defund Israel?
You want to get total under China?
vivek ramaswamy
You want to go and give you pretty much?
unidentified
I'm going to address each of those right now.
This is the false lies of a professional.
Indians.
nick fuentes
They're two Indians, probably.
nikki haley
You're watching America less.
You have no foreign policy experience, and it shows.
vivek ramaswamy
And you know what?
unidentified
The foreign policy experience that you already have shows in the pointless wars we've gotten into after wrestling.
So our relationship with Israel.
He's getting cut.
Oh my gosh.
vivek ramaswamy
It is a friendship.
And you know what friends do?
Friends help each other stand on their own two feet.
So I will lead Abraham Accords 2.0.
I will partner with Israel to make sure Iran never is nuclear armed.
But you know what I love about Israel?
And I've been there probably in the last 10 years more than most people on this stage.
You know what I love about them?
I love their border policies.
I love their tough on crime policies.
I love that they have a national identity and an iron dome to protect their homeland.
And so, yes, I want to learn from the friends that we're supporting.
And what puzzles me is I want to learn from those and apply those to protect our homeland.
That is the answer.
nikki haley
America needs Israel.
tim scott
What?
unidentified
That's crazy. - Real dispute.
nikki haley
No, it's not a territorial dispute either.
Hysterical bitch.
ron desantis
As president of the United States, your first obligation is to defend our country and its people.
unidentified
Nice.
ron desantis
And that means you're sending all this money, but you're not doing what we need to do to secure our own border.
We have tens of thousands of people who are being killed because we're not handling both.
unidentified
Look at her.
She's a freak, dude.
Okay, based.
DeSantis dub on this one.
ron desantis
- We're here at a national emergency.
unidentified
Wow.
ron desantis
- Look at her, she's a freak, dude.
- But I am gonna send them to our southern border.
When these drug pushers are bringing the signal across the border.
vivek ramaswamy
- DeSantis dub on this one.
ron desantis
- We're gonna use force and we're gonna leave 'em stone cold day.
bret baier
- We're actually going to move on to China.
unidentified
- That was crazy.
bret baier
- Okay. - Governor Burgum, China has the biggest navy in the world, the biggest army in the world.
Now they have warships off the coast of Alaska.
They are threatening Taiwan.
In coming years, China will have 1,500 nuclear warheads, it's believed.
The U.S.
just arrested two sailors accused of spying for China within our military.
So the question is, how would you deter China as a president?
doug burgum
Well, this is the number one issue we're facing, and of course we haven't been talking about it, and we act like that letting Russia win in the Ukraine is like a gimme as opposed to a gift to China.
Russia has become China's gas station, but how would we do it?
The Biden administration is a complete fail.
China imports 10 million barrels of oil a day more than any other country in the world.
They do not even have all the food they need to feed everybody in that country, so they don't have energy security or food security.
But the Biden administration sends Blinken, Yellen over there.
They don't even bring up energy because they're too busy trying to kill the U.S.
energy here.
And what we need to do is not meetings, not press releases, because something that would send a lot more than a press release is actually harpoon missiles.
We need anti-ship missiles on Taiwan.
The way that you have a war never start, which is the goal, the way you have peace through strength,
Is that you actually have strength you actually have deterrence and what we have in in in what we've got going on in Ukraine is an example of when deterrence fail what we what is an example there of Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan the fact that he green-lighted Putin moving into Ukraine and then now they see weakness and when they see weakness they make a move and we have to be strong and we have to be strong both in Ukraine and we can solve the southern border absolutely we can do that Because guess what?
There's only 19,855 authorized people for the Border Patrol.
But they're not all staff, because the Biden administration doesn't enforce law enforcement.
But Biden administration wanted to put 87,000 people in the IRS, as opposed to giving the money in this fort we need to our own Border Patrol.
unidentified
Okay.
bret baier
Senator Scott on China.
That same question.
tim scott
Let's fire the 87,000 IRS agents and hire or double the number of Border Patrol agents.
I just left Yuma, Arizona about two weeks ago.
The most pressing need of the American people from a national security standpoint is our southern border.
It has led to the death of 70,000 Americans because of fentanyl.
Plus, six million illegal crossings since President Biden has taken office.
Six million?
And 200 people on our national security watch list have been caught at our border.
How many have not been caught at our southern border?
If we just spend $10 billion, we could finish the wall.
For five billion more, we could have the military-grade technology to surveil our southern border to stop the flow of fentanyl and save 70,000 Americans a year.
That should be the priority of this government, and as the next president of the United States, I will make that border wall I want to say I couldn't agree more.
doug burgum
It's not just the 70,000 from fentanyl.
We've lost 200,000 people to overdoses since Biden took office.
That's 300 people a day.
We're taking mass casualties and those aren't, that's a statistic, but these are sons and daughters, nieces and nephews that we're losing.
We've got North Dakota troops down there flying night helicopter missions from San Diego to the Gulf Coast trying to stop these transnational Alright.
bret baier
Speaking of which, Governor Hutchinson, speaking of which, images from earlier this month, Governor Hutchinson and Vice President Pence, images from earlier this month, Vice President Pence, it really doesn't help.
I'm asking a question.
Earlier this month, The images showed suspected cartel members crossing into Texas with rifles.
Do you consider this an invasion?
Would you authorize lethal force along that border?
unidentified
There would be lethal force used by the Border Patrol, law enforcement as needed to protect the border.
Absolutely.
When you look at the military, the military has to be used for intelligence gathering purposes.
This is not unusual.
Whenever I was in the Bush administration, we went down there and met with President Vincente Fox of Mexico and asked his help in going after the cartels.
And he looked at me and said, they're a problem to us as well.
And so we joined together and we took down the Ariana Felix brothers leading the Tijuana cartel.
And that made a difference.
Ramon was shot and killed and Ben Amin was captured.
Cooperation makes a difference.
We cannot be successful going against the cartel unless we bring in Mexico as a partner.
We have to use economic pressure to accomplish that.
President Obrador has not been helpful, and we have to use economic pressure that this administration is not using.
The rule of law has to matter on both sides of it.
This is critical.
I've done it.
We know what needs to be done.
The military has to be limited in its use.
After 9-11, we had the global war on terror, and guess what?
We protected the border at the same time.
You can do both.
martha maccallum
Okay, let's go to Governor DeSantis.
So, as president, would you support sending U.S. special forces over the border into Mexico to take out fentanyl labs, to take out drug cartel operations?
Would you support that kind of American military use?
ron desantis
Yes, and I will do it on day one.
Here's the thing.
The cartels are killing tens of thousands of our fellow citizens.
You want to talk about a country in decline?
You have the cartels controlling a lot of part of your southern border.
We have to reestablish the rule of law, and we have to defend our people.
The President of the United States has got to use all available powers as Commander-in-Chief to protect our country and to protect the people.
So when they're coming across, yes, we're going to use lethal force.
Yes, we reserve the right to operate.
How many more tens of thousands are we going to let to die?
I am sick.
I've met angel moms throughout this country.
I met a lady in Texas named Tracy, and her son took one Percocet, I love how he kind of talks like an Italian.
died.
That is happening all across this country because of the poison.
nick fuentes
I love how he kind of talks like an Italian.
He kind of reminds me of my mom.
ron desantis
Would I treat him as foreign terrorist organizations?
You're darn right I would.
bret baier
You know, Vice President Pence, Vice President Pence, why would you be better at this issue than Governor DeSantis?
Governor DeSantis on the campaign trail refers to your administration as not finishing the wall.
mike pence
Right, right.
Look, we secured the southern border of the United States of America and reduced illegal immigration and asylum abuse by 90%.
When Joe Biden took over, he threw open the southern border of the United States.
And the wave of humanity, the wave of fentanyl that's been eloquently described here is a wave of human tragedy across this country.
But, Martha, you began this evening talking about who is best prepared to be the next president of the United States.
And I have to tell you, with all humility, I was there when we negotiated through the government shutdown and got the funding available to build the wall.
I was negotiating on Capitol Hill around the clock.
I negotiated the Remain in Mexico policy on behalf of the President of the United States.
And, A.C., you're so right.
It's because we used economic pressure to bring the Mexicans to the table, and they allowed us to have people wait in Mexico while they applied for asylum and ended asylum abuse overnight.
We got the Mexicans to deploy their National Guard to their southern border and our southern border as never before.
And I want to promise you, as President of the United States of America, I will engage Mexico the exact same way, and we will partner with the Mexican military, and we will hunt down and destroy the cartels that are claiming lives in the United States of America.
martha maccallum
Thank you.
Another issue that is related to this is that almost 7 million migrants have crossed this border, our southern border, during the Biden administration.
So, Governor Christie, what would you do about the 7 million who are here?
unidentified
How would you handle them?
martha maccallum
What would you do?
chris christie
Look, Martha, the first thing we need to do is to stop anymore from coming.
That's the first thing we need to do.
Then, the next thing we need to do with the folks that are here is to, again, as we've talked about all night tonight, we have to have law and order in this country.
We have to enforce the law.
And what that means is to make sure that people who come here illegally What the?
Dude, that was like a jump scare.
nick fuentes
Dude, that was like a jump scare.
chris christie
People from around the world.
nick fuentes
Was that on their end or my end?
chris christie
Following the law to try to come here and pursue the American dream.
And those people are waiting and waiting and waiting because we haven't dealt with the problem of the folks who are here.
We have to have them detained.
We have to make sure that they are not rewarded for having broken the law.
And one last thing on this fentanyl that's.
nick fuentes
Did you hear that?
unidentified
That was like, dude, that was a jumpscare.
chris christie
Yes, it's important that we secure the border.
Very important, as I just said.
But China is sending these chemicals to these drug cartels for them to create the fentanyl that is killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens.
The Chinese are engaging in an act of war against us, killing our citizens.
We better make that priority one in our conversations with China and to try to straighten that relationship out, because if we don't, we're going to lose more and more of our citizens.
martha maccallum
I just want to clarify.
Would you send those people back?
chris christie
Of course.
You'd have to.
bret baier
We have a lot of issues that Americans care about.
Next up, we're going to talk about the crisis in education, as millions of American children are not proficient in reading or math.
After this.
nick fuentes
All right, this sucks now.
I'm bored.
I'm bored.
Look, none of these people are gonna be president, and they all suck, and they're all boring, and they're all neocons.
That section about Ukraine was crazy.
That was the most fired up any of them were.
Like Nikki Haley was PMSing about Ukraine going insane.
Same thing with Mike Pence.
Honestly, that was a really bad moment for Vivek.
He just got his ass kicked.
You know?
That would never happen to Trump.
He just backed down.
He just doesn't understand how to fight.
Like, when people are attacking him, he's looking at them.
And he's, like, waiting for them to finish.
You can't do that.
And also, Nikki Haley was steamrolling him, too, because she saw that he was weak.
This stuff is very subconscious.
Like, right out of the gate, Vivek was getting interrupted and he kind of let people interrupt him.
He was, like, smiling while they were doing it and looking at them and waiting for them to finish.
And then everybody picked up on, oh, we can interrupt him.
Like, oh, he's weak.
He'll take it.
And so even though he had the right take on Ukraine, he just got dominated by Pence, and then he got dominated by Haley.
And they totally talked over him, and she tore him a new asshole, and then the crowd was screaming, and he was talking, but the crowd was yelling over him.
Not good.
Not good.
L stage presence.
L stage presence.
L execution.
That's a thing though.
I mean, you know You can be a good talker.
You could be eloquent in those things, but it's a different environment when you introduce a hostile Person hostile Situation That said I mean he's doing the best out of anybody he's got the best his his his Substance has been flawless.
The content of what he's saying has been flawless.
He's been excellent and better than expected and way ahead of everybody else on the stage by far, obviously.
He's the only good thing on the stage.
But... He's getting his lunch eaten by these other people.
Those were not strong moments.
Those were very weak.
And his suit doesn't quite fit.
Every time he gestures, his suit is like, uh...
You know, it's not on his shirt properly.
So the suit... He's a billionaire.
He should be able to get a suit that fits right.
But that's nitpicking, I suppose.
He's been doing pretty good.
Everybody else, though, is just like a nightmare.
This is what we would have if it wasn't for Trump.
This is what we would be left with if Trump was out of the picture, in jail, doesn't run.
And this is what it'll be in the future.
Like, imagine if there's no Trump and there's no Vivek.
That's 2028.
That's 2032.
That's what we got.
So, pretty depressing situation.
But, um... Yeah, I'm just running out of steam.
I'm getting bored.
Like, I don't want to hear Doug Burgum.
He's not gonna win.
No one even knows who he is.
Same thing with Asa Hutchinson.
It's like, why are we entertaining all that?
They should have just had, like, six candidates.
It really should not have been those other two.
It should have been those six guys, nobody else.
And even still, the whole thing is just ridiculous when you consider that Trump's not even there.
Like, what a clown show.
That Trump is leading by 40 points, presumptive nominee, he's not even in attendance.
So the whole thing is just, uh, silly.
But I'm just doing it because it's content.
We'll probably react to the Trump interview tomorrow.
Maybe I'll stream the Trump interview in lieu of a show tomorrow night.
It looks like we're back.
We got like 25 minutes left.
I just want this thing to be over.
I'm ready.
bret baier
Your report card was the weakest ever for American school children, exposing chronic absenteeism, deep declines for reading and math for 15-year-olds and 13-year-olds.
Governor DeSantis, you would eliminate, you said, the Department of Education.
But as president, would you still have a responsibility to fix this crisis as we see it?
ron desantis
Absolutely.
The decline in education is one of the major reasons why our country is in decline.
We need education in this country, not indoctrination in this country.
And in Florida...
Florida, we stood up for what was right.
First, we had schools open during COVID, and a lot of the problems that we've seen are because these lockdown states lock their kids out of school for a year, year and a half.
That was wrong.
We stood up.
I took a lot of fire for that.
I was pilloried by the media, but I stood for our kids.
And as president, I'll stand for you and your kids as well.
But we have to make sure that what our schools are doing is focusing on solid academics.
In Florida, we eliminated critical race theory from our K-12 schools.
We eliminated gender ideology from our K-12 schools, and we have elevated the importance of American civics in teaching our kids about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
As president, I'm going to lead an effort to increase civic understanding and knowledge of our Constitution.
We cannot be graduating students that don't have any foundation in what it means to be an American.
bret baier
That's so dumb, man.
Mr. Ramaswamy, hold on, Senator Scott.
You've said that the Department of Education, the FBI, the ATF, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the IRS, the Department of Commerce, many of these should not exist.
vivek ramaswamy
That's correct.
bret baier
So, to the education question, how would you deal with the crisis?
vivek ramaswamy
So look, we have a crisis of achievement.
Let's shut down the head of the snake, the Department of Education.
Take that $80 billion, put it in the hands of parents across this country.
This is the civil rights issue of our time.
Allow any parent to choose where they send their kids to school.
End the teachers unions at the local level to allow public schools to compete.
And then revive our national identity where every high school senior should have to pass the same civics test that frankly every immigrant, including my mother, had to pass in order to become a citizen of this country.
And the fact of the matter is, look, there's a part of education policy that also rests with the family.
I didn't grow up in money.
But you know the word privilege gets used a lot?
Well, you know what?
I did have the ultimate privilege of two parents in the house with a focus on educational achievement.
And I want every kid to enjoy that.
So part of the problem is we also have a federal government that pays single women more not to have a man in the house than to have a man in the house, contributing to an epidemic of fatherlessness.
And I think that goes hand-in-glove with the education crisis as well, because we have to remember, education starts with the family, and the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
unidentified
That was good.
That was a good answer.
martha maccallum
Governor Haley has said that biological boys playing in girls sports is the women's issue of our time.
You said that even though you signed a ban on this in North Dakota that there hadn't been one instance where it was actually needed.
Are you saying that you think that too much is made of this issue?
doug burgum
No, I'm saying in North Dakota we made a priority of protecting women's sports, and we've done that in our state.
But I would absolutely do that.
But I do think when we start talking about education, and we think that we're going to have a federal government, one size fits all, we're just completely losing track of the fact that education differs by state.
Some school districts are doing a fantastic job, some less so.
But the idea that every school district in the state and every teacher is somehow indoctrinating people is just false.
When I was building a company from scratch with small-town kids, and we grew up in a town of 300, but we built a global company in 132 countries with over 100,000 customers.
We listened to those customers.
We spent time with them.
We talked to them.
We did that.
And as governor, education is one of the best.
Nobody cares.
So as a governor, I go, I shadow a student.
The night before I find out the student finds out, I'm going to go to every class with them.
I don't sit and lecture school districts how to do it.
I go and see the experience.
And there's a lot of things that have to change.
But what needs to change in education is innovation.
We're doing it the same way we did it 50 years ago with innovation, not regulation.
I would get rid of the Department of Education.
I would give block grants to schools, but I'd give them on merit based on who's doing the most innovative.
I just got done holding the seventh annual Governor's Conference on Innovation and Education.
You should see what the people are doing when you cut loose the red tape, get the burden off their back.
nick fuentes
They care.
doug burgum
Teachers in this country, the vast majority of them care about those kids.
They're working in low-paying jobs, and they're fighting, fighting for those kids and their families.
martha maccallum
Governor Haley, you said that this is the women's issue of our time.
nikki haley
First, I'll tell you, as, you know, as a parent, the one thing you want is for your child to have a better life than you did.
And we can talk about all of these things, and there's a lot of crazy woke things happening in schools, but we've got to get these kids reading.
If a child can't read by third grade, they're four times less likely to graduate high school.
I can't read.
Black people can't read.
sure we bring in reading remediation all over this country.
We need transparency in the classroom because parents should never have to wonder what's being said or taught to their children in the classroom.
Parents need to be deciding which schools their kids go to because they know best.
And let's put vocational classes back into the high schools.
Let's teach our kids to build things again.
When we do that and we allow that innovation, that's when it'll get back again.
And yes, I will always say I'm gonna fight for girls all day long because strong girls become strong women, strong women become strong leaders, and biological boys don't belong in the locker rooms of any of our girls.
nick fuentes
What about boys?
You gonna support boys?
martha maccallum
The first question is going to go to you, Vice President.
So this is a lightning round of questions.
Thirty-second answers, please.
President Biden will be 82 years old on Inauguration Day.
Nearly 70% of Americans say that he is too old to serve.
Should presidents have to pass a mental and physical test in order to serve Vice President Pence?
mike pence
Well, it might be a good idea to have everybody in Washington, D.C.
unidentified
pass a medal.
mike pence
Shut up!
No, the American people can make those judgments.
But let me say, I'm running for president of the United States because we don't need a president who's too old, and we don't need a president who's too young.
We need a president who's been there.
We need a president who knows how Congress works, how the White House works, how states work.
And on this education issue, Martha, I was fighting against No Child Left Behind when Republicans were doubling the Department of Education.
I'll also shut down the Federal Department of Education.
And when I was governor, we doubled the size of the largest school choice program in America, and we'll give school choice to every family in America when I'm in the White House.
bret baier
This is a lightning round, Mr. Ramaswamy.
I think you were mentioned there.
You're 38.
You're the youngest on the stage.
You've said, and you just said, you want a civics test or public service for those under 25 to be able to vote.
So the question is, do you want a mental acuity test for presidents over 75?
vivek ramaswamy
I believe in the people of this country to tell the difference between somebody who's an automaton and somebody who's actually a thinking agent in the White House, which we don't have in there today.
And I will tell you, I want to address Vice President Pence's comment.
I think we do need somebody of a different generation to lead this nation forward.
Look at the way I've run this campaign.
Going to the south side of Chicago, to Kensington, in the middle of Philadelphia, where traditional Republican candidates don't go.
We have an opportunity to build a multi-ethnic, working class majority to deliver a landslide.
And I think I'm the only candidate in this race, young or old, black or white, to bring all of those voters along to deliver a Reagan 1980 revolution.
bret baier
What are we doing in 2024?
mike pence
Listen, listen, we're getting control of the debate.
martha maccallum
This is a lightning round, not rolling thunder.
unidentified
30 seconds quick answer.
martha maccallum
You guys have to get control of this debate.
You have to get control of this debate.
bret baier
Listen, listen, we're getting control of the debate.
This is a lightning round, not rolling thunder.
Governor Hutchinson, you have 30 seconds on the same question.
unidentified
on education.
First of all, look at Arkansas.
We have to compete with China.
I built computer science education.
We led the nation in computer science education, going from 1,100 students to 23,000 students taking it.
This is how you compete with China.
As president of the United States, I will make sure we go from 51% of our schools offering computer science to every school in rural areas and urban areas offering computer science for the benefit of our kids.
I can't help you with that computer homework!
nick fuentes
I don't believe that.
I don't think they are number one.
unidentified
Arkansas?
martha maccallum
Probably Massachusetts would be number one, I would think.
So is there a role for a president of the United States in changing that?
unidentified
- Massachusetts would be number one, I would think. - So is there a role for a president of the United States in changing that?
martha maccallum
What would you do to change that?
tim scott
- This nation was founded upon the Judeo-Christian values that have made this the greatest nation on God's green earth.
I'm a big believer in Ephesians 3:20 that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine.
Our responsibility should be to model the behavior we want others to follow.
On education, the only way we change education in this nation is to break the backs of the teachers' unions.
They are standing in the doorhouse of our kids, locking them into failing schools and locking them out of the greatest future they could have.
bret baier
As president, Governor DeSantis, would you support some mandatory military service for all Americans?
ron desantis
I think it should be voluntary.
I'm somebody that volunteered to serve, inspired by September 11th, and I deployed to Iraq alongside U.S.
Navy SEALs in places like Fallujah, Ramadi, and it's something that I think has taught me, you know, when you go in that type of environment, anything you have, your personal agenda, you check it at the door.
You go there and it's about focusing on the mission above all else.
And guys come together and they get it done.
And that's how I would view being the President of the United States.
It's not about me.
It's not about all these other side issues.
My sole focus will be on your future and reversing this country's decline.
martha maccallum
Okay, now for something a little out of this world, and this is for you, Governor Christie.
Do you believe that the recent spike in UFO encounters... I get the UFO question?
chris christie
Come on, man!
martha maccallum
Okay, we've been hearing a lot of testimony in Congress, and people are taking this a lot more seriously, and we're hearing that, you know, there are things going on that people aren't aware of.
chris christie
So, if you were president, Governor Christie, would you level with the American people about what the government knows about these possible Look, Martha, and especially coming from a woman from New Jersey, I think it's horrible that just because I'm from New Jersey you asked me about unidentified flying objects and Martians.
We're different, but we're not that different.
Look, of course, the job of the President of the United States is to level with the American people about everything.
The job of the President of the United States is to stand for truth.
The job of the President of the United States is to be a role model for our children and our grandchildren.
And so whether it was UFOs or this problem of education, and Tim's right by the way, and I started this in 2010 by going right after the teachers unions in New Jersey and drove them down to an all-time low popularity rating because they were putting themselves before our kids.
That is the biggest threat to our country, not UFOs.
bret baier
Okay.
Well, coming up, we've got Closing Arguments Plus right after the debate.
Hannity is live from the spin room right here in the FiveServe Forum.
nick fuentes
Hannity sucks.
Okay.
That was terrible.
I'm done, dude.
I'm tapped out.
Let's just wrap this up.
Are they really doing another break?
I don't even have anything to say.
Once the debate is over, I'm gonna read the Super Chats and then that's it.
I said the other night that I would do, like, maybe I'd do another monologue about the debate, but there's nothing to say.
This whole thing sucked.
None of these people are gonna win.
So...
That's really all there is to say about it.
We'll wrap up the debate.
I'll read the Super Chats.
We'll call it tomorrow.
I'll be streaming the arraignment of Trump.
Trump will be arraigned.
I believe it'll be televised.
So I'll be live streaming that on Cozy and on Rumble.
Make sure to follow me.
If you haven't already, do it before the debate ends.
Follow me here on Cozy.
Cozy.tv slash Nick.
Follow me on Rumble.
Rumble.com slash Nick J. Fuentes.
We're gonna finish the debate.
I'm just telling you while you're all still here, follow me on all platforms and I'll be back tomorrow live streaming the arraignment and I will be doing the Trump-Tucker interview as well.
I'll do that tomorrow.
So... That'll be our... That's our game plan for tomorrow.
Arraignment and interview.
I'll probably do the interview tomorrow at like 9.
Okay?
But yeah, this whole debate was just a total flop.
Total joke.
And like I said, it just goes to show, this is our future after Trump.
All these, like, psycho neocons like Nikki Haley, Mike Pence.
These people are delusional.
And I'm so sick of this, like, Judeo-Christian, greatest country on God's green earth.
We need a government as good as our people.
Like, I'm just... I'm over that.
We're done with that kind of thing.
And here's why.
unidentified
1.
nick fuentes
It's not Judeo-Christian, it's Christian.
unidentified
2.
nick fuentes
America's no longer the greatest country in the world.
Newsflash. 3.
We have problems, okay?
Our people have problems.
The country has problems.
This, like, constant, we're the greatest country, we could do both, we're the best, you have a pretty small opinion of America.
That was the worst moment, is when Mike Pence said, if you think we can't defend our border and fight in Ukraine, you have a pretty small opinion of America.
It's like, that kind of bravado is just, it's just ignorant now.
You know, we did that already.
We did that 20 years ago, when we went into Iraq.
And we said, you know, we could do everything and, like, look at our country now.
Our country's a... it's a mess.
It's a total shithole.
If you think we can't do both, you must... We can't!
We aren't!
We're not doing any of it right.
We're not winning this war.
We didn't win in Iraq.
We didn't win in Afghanistan.
The border's open.
We can't do either!
Forget about both!
We can't do either.
You must have a pretty small opinion of America!
As if, like, there's any shame in being strategic.
That's just, like, total propaganda from the Bushiers, from the neocons.
Total hubris and just, like, painfully ignorant.
And all the rest of it is just the same, you know.
And this stuff about the Constitution, the guy pulling out the pocket Constitution.
This is what the opposition looks like?
This is the opposition?
unidentified
Pocket Constitution!
nick fuentes
He said he would suspend the Constitution.
unidentified
Good!
nick fuentes
It's our turn to suspend the Constitution.
They suspended it.
Now it's our turn.
The election was stolen.
Nobody even talks about that.
It's just crazy.
That's why it's so important Trump gets back in because otherwise there's no opposition.
If Trump doesn't win, this is the GOP and they will not oppose the system anymore.
Black Rifle, this is the shit that we're gonna get.
This is what you have left.
Birch Gold, Black Rifle Coffee, Rumble.
Rumble's okay.
The song, the Oliver Anthony, Rich Man, North Rich Man song.
Living in a new world.
I've been singing that for the last two weeks.
unidentified
Living in a new world.
nick fuentes
Like that's what's left.
If there's no Trump, We just get this ridiculous Boomer Hillbilly shit.
This Ronald Reagan... Even Vivek had a terrible answer this time when he said, Well, I'm a young guy.
I'm gonna bring together a multi-ethnic, working-class, Reagan-style victory.
No, you're fucking not.
Living in a new world!
martha maccallum
California will see you there next month when our colleagues at Fox Business host the next 2024 showdown.
bret baier
Fox Business is partnering with Univision, the Reagan Foundation, and Rumble to bring you the second Republican presidential debate on September 27th.
It looks pretty nice there.
20 years ago, 70% of American adults said they were extremely proud to be an American.
Living in a new world!
unidentified
Shut up!
nick fuentes
All we get is this Reagan crap.
bret baier
Just 39%.
In his pitch to get to the Oval Office, President Reagan called America the shining city on a hill.
nick fuentes
Shut up.
bret baier
A beacon of hope and optimism.
martha maccallum
So in your closing statement tonight, please tell American voters why you are the person who can inspire this nation to a better day.
unidentified
Ronald Reagan said.
nick fuentes
Ronald Reagan said.
Ronald Reagan is dead.
martha maccallum
And we begin with Governor Burgum.
doug burgum
I understand why America's hurting.
I grew up in a small town.
My dad died when I was a freshman in high school.
My mom, widow of three, went back to work.
Every job I had growing up was one where I took a shower at the end of the day, not at the beginning of the day.
Our cities are less safe because of the fentanyl pouring into this country.
Our economy is being crushed by Biden's energy policies, which are raising the cost of every product you buy, not just the gasoline at the pump.
One thing that I'll do as president, I'll secure the border.
I'll get this economy sprinting, not crawling like it is right now.
And I would say that other thing is for sure, when I'm on a horseback in the Badlands of North Dakota, it looks like the horizon is just limitless.
So bad.
What about a horse?
And it looks like the sky.
Cramming.
- So bad.
- Our future is unlimited.
- What, I'm on a horse? - And it looks like the sky.
- The way we win the Cold War with China is by growing our economy and through innovation.
And as president-- - Cramming, you're cramming.
mike pence
Make it stop.
doug burgum
Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified
And back home.
stop.
Make it stop.
Yeah, absolutely.
And back home.
Our nation is in trouble.
And it's in trouble because of failed leadership.
And the solution is not four more years of Joseph Biden.
The solution is not four more years of Donald Trump.
The solution is new leadership that can bring bold ideas to America and to bring out the best of America.
A president's number one responsibility is to bring out the best of our people.
That's what Ronald Reagan did.
And he did it with optimism and hope for our country with consistent conservatism.
That's exactly what I bring.
As President, I'll bring out the best of America in terms of individual responsibility, building our economy, in terms of securing our border, enforcing the rule of law.
I'll bring out the best of America in terms of our national character, our faith, and our hope for the future.
Join in this fight.

Thank you, Brett.
Thank you, Martha.
Look, everyone on this stage wants to be the next president of the United States.
And the only way that's gonna happen is if we beat Joe Biden.
I'm the only one on this stage who's ever beaten a Democratic incumbent in an election.
I did it in a deep blue state, being outspent 3 to 1.
Beating a Democratic incumbent is not easy.
The last Democratic incumbent president who was defeated was Jimmy Carter.
And he was defeated by a conservative governor from a blue state who knew how to get results.
nick fuentes
Just like you.
chris christie
Who stood for the truth.
Who cared about a counterpoint.
Thank you.
and stood strong and hard against waste.
nick fuentes
You're just like Reagan.
chris christie
Those are the very things that I did in my eight years as governor of New Jersey, and it's exactly what I'll do as president of the United States.
Believe me, the Democrats want some other nominee who's never beaten a Democratic incumbent.
I'm the one who can win this race, and if you give me the chance, I will restore our country by winning it.
martha maccallum
Thank you.
Governor Haley.
nikki haley
Several weeks ago, I dropped my husband, Michael, a combat veteran from Afghanistan, off at 4 a.m.
for another year-long deployment.
I watched him and 230 soldiers pick up their two duffel bags of belongings to go to a country they had never been, all in the name of protecting America.
If they are willing to protect us from there, we should be willing to fight for America here.
I will beat Joe Biden, and he knows that.
I will strengthen our economy, and we'll bring this inflation down.
We will put transparency in the classroom.
Transparents?
In the classroom?
White pride.
martha maccallum
But not white pride, right?
nick fuentes
Still would, though.
In the classroom?
unidentified
Would.

Still would, though.
Would.

Thank you, Brad and Martha, for this evening.
mike pence
It's an honor to be here.
Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.
The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Their war on energy.
Runaway spending that launched the worst inflation in 40 years.
A crisis at our southern border.
An assault on our values and liberties.
And the American people have had enough.
But I know we can bring it back.
But different times called for different leadership. - Yeah.
The Republican Party owes the American people the choice.
nick fuentes
He's an actor.
This guy's an actor.
mike pence
Proven leadership at the national level that knows how to move a conservative agenda forward.
vivek ramaswamy
Proven conservative record.
nick fuentes
Proven leadership.
mike pence
We've proven in the Trump-Pence years you can turn this country around faster than you can imagine.
And I have faith we will again.
Because I have faith in the American people.
Good, decent, hard-working, faith-filled, idealistic people in this country.

I was born in 1985, and I grew up into a generation where we were taught to celebrate our diversity and our differences so much that we forgot all of the ways we are really just the same as Americans, bound by a common set of ideals that set this nation into motion in 1776.
And this is our moment to revive those common ideals.
God is real.
There are two genders.
Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity.
Reverse racism is racism.
An open border is not a border.
Parents determine the education of their children.
The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to man.
Capitalism lifts us up from poverty.
There are three branches of government, not four.
And the U.S.
Constitution, That's a joke, by the way.
That was pretty good.
- The current tour of freedom in human history.
That is what won us the American Revolution.
That is what will win us the revolution of 2024.

I'm a blue collar kid.
I work minimum wage jobs to be able to make ends meet.
I understand the importance of the American dream.
Oh, you're gay?

I'm a veteran who served in Iraq.
I know what it means to put service above self.
I'm also a dad and a husband of six, five and three-year-old.
I understand the importance of protecting parents' rights and the well-being of our children.
In Florida, we showed it could be done.
I I made promises, and I delivered on all of those promises.
2024 is make or break.
We're not getting a mulligan.
No excuses.
I will get the job done, and as your president, I will not let you down.

Vivek totally walked back his take on Israel limiting foreign aid by calling them our friends.
Hope he gets red-pilled for 2028.
nick fuentes
He didn't, I don't think he walked it back, but he did say, well, when I'm out of office, our relationship with Israel will be stronger than ever.
That was cringe, but he didn't really walk it back.
He just said that, like, we want them to stand on their own feet.
So it wasn't, it was kind of hard to hear because the crowd was screaming over him, but it wasn't a full capitulation.
With that being said, it's not that he's not red-pilled, it's just that he's like, he's a shill for Israel.
I love when people assume that if someone's pro-Israel, it's like they just don't know.
We gotta tell him.
We gotta red pill him.
They know.
They know.
He's placating Israel because he's either in bed with them or he doesn't want a confrontation with them, which is reasonable.
