WE HAVE A LOT OF WEEKS TO GO SO
WE WILL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE,
STEVE, AINSLEY, BRIAN, OVER TO
YOU.
>> Ainsley: THANK YOU, JANICE.
BRAND-NEW BOX BOTH SHOWS
MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS WANT
SOMEBODY ELSE BESIDES
PRESIDENT BIDEN TO RUN FOR
OVAL OFFICE IN 2024.
>> Steve: IT COMES
DONALD TRUMP DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD
REPUBLICAN FIELD IN THE PRIMARY.
IT WILL BE THICKER AS THE POLL
HAS 54% AHEAD OF RON DeSANTIS
AT 24%.
>> Brian: JOINING US NOW
SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY, SENATOR,
FIRST OFF ON PRESIDENT TRUMP
DOUBLING THE NUMBER 2 SPOT,
RON DeSANTIS, HOW DO YOU
ASSESS THAT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
>> I THINK PART OF IT HAVING SEEN THE POLL, BUT PART OF IT,
SEEN THE POLL, BUT PART OF IT,
THE SHENANIGANS IN NEW YORK.
MANY PEOPLE WITH THE ATTEMPTED
PROSECUTION OF THE PRESIDENT IS
POLITICAL.
BUT LOOK, BRIAN, ANYBODY WHO
TELLS YOU POLLS DON’T MAGNER IS
LOOKING AT A POLL THEY DON’T
LIKE, OKAY?
BUT IT IS VERY EARLY.
IT IS VERY EARLY.
AND I WOULDN’T SELL -- I
WOULDN’T SELL MY WEDDING RING
AND BET ON THE FACT THAT THE
FIELD IS SET ON EITHER SIDE,
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S NUMBERS AMONG
DEMOCRATS ABOUT 55% OF THE
PEOPLE THINK -- THEY ARE NOT
QUITE SURE HE IS UP TO THE JOB
OF BEING PRESIDENT OR FINISHING
HIS SENTENCE FOR THAT MATTER.
HE COULD DRAW A POSITION.
I THINK GAVIN NEWSOM WOULD LIKE
TO RUN.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM, HE’S GOT PRETTY
HAIR.
[LAUGHTER]
AND I THINK HE WOULD LIKE TO
RUN.
AND I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHERS.
>> Ainsley: PRETTY HAIR BUT
UGLY POLICIES IN CALIFORNIA.
I HEARD JOE ROGAN TALKING ABOUT
PRESIDENT BIDEN PUTTING THE
SENTENCE TOGETHER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NOMINEE
POLLS?
44% SAID THEY WANT TO KEEP
JOE BIDEN.
>> THOSE ARE NOT NUMBERS FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
HAVING SAID THAT, HE IS NOT
GOING TO ANNOUNCE THAT HE WILL
NOT RUN FOR REELECTION.
HE MAY RUN FOR REELECTION AND
FOR ALL I KNOW HE SURE IS ACTING
LIKE IT.
I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO ACT LIKE
IT.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO BECOME A LAME
DUCK ANY SOONER THAN HE HAS TO.
>> Steve: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT BUT THE PROBLEM, SENATOR,
PART OF THE FOX NEWS POLL, 90%
OF THOSE RESPONDENTS SAY THEY
ARE EXTREMELY OR VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT INFLATION AND HIGHER
PRICES.
THAT IS FOLLOWED BY CRIME AT
ALMOST 90% AS WELL.
HERE IS THE THING, EVERY TIME --
EVERY DAY THAT THE WHITE HOUSE
IS NOT TALKING ABOUT INFLATION
IS A GOOD DAY FOR THEM BECAUSE
IT IMPACTS EVERYBODY.
>> WELL, MOST AMERICANS AREN’T
REALLY RICH AND THEY ARE NOT
REALLY POOR.
THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE.
BUT THEY ARE UNHAPPY.
I DON’T BLAME THEM.
THEY LOOK AROUND AND SEE TOO
MANY PEOPLE AT THE TOP GETTING
BAILOUTS.
TOO MANY UNDESERVING PEOPLE AT
THE BOTTOM GETTING HANDOUTS.
AND THEY ARE GETTING THE BILL.
THEY ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT AS
THEY SHOULD BE ABOUT THEIR JOB
IN THE ECONOMY.
THE PRESIDENT KEEPS TELLING
THEM, "LOOK, THE ECONOMY IS JUST
FINE," BUT IT HAS NOT GONE
UNNOTICED AMONGST MOST
AMERICANS.
THEY HAVE TO SELL BLOOD TO GO TO
THE GROCERY STORE.
THE 401(K)s ARE CRASHING AND
THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
KIDS.
THEY ARE WORRIED SOME SCHOOLS
THEY ARE TEACHING THE KIDS ALL
WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST AND ALL
BLACK PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED AND
ALL WOMEN ARE VICTIMS.
MOST AMERICAN VICTIMS LOOK AT
PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY AND THEY ARE
JUST NOT HAPPY WITH THE
DIRECTION THAT AMERICA IS GOING.
AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THEIR
FUTURE WILL BE BETTER THAN THEY
ARE PRESENT OR PAST.
>> Brian: SENATOR, HAVE YOU
DECIDED IF YOU WILL ENDORSE
ANYBODY?
>> I DON’T KNOW, LIKE I SAID, IT
IS STILL VERY, VERY EARLY.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, I WOULD NOT
SELL MY WEDDING BAND AND THAT
THE FIELD IS SET ON EITHER SIDE.
>> Steve: BUT YOU WOULD
PROBABLY BE ENDORSING THE
REPUBLICAN AND NOT JOE BIDEN.
>> OH, YES, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
JUST A WILD GUESS.
>> Ainsley: DON’T SELL YOUR
WEDDING BAND.
YOU WOULD HAVE A LOT OF
EXPLAINING TO DO.
>> I WOULD, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU
CAN GET A CHEAP ONE ON THE
INTERNET.
>> Brian: MAY BE A COUPLE
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
>> BUT IT WON’T TURN YOUR FINGER
