1:01 am
>> trey: good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm trey gowdy and it isg as "sunday night in america." here we go again.ld t a former president trump versus current president joe biden. will cleveland have company in jothe history books or will joe biden overcome historically low poll numbers? they are blinking caution lights for both candidates while theki american people settle in fongrs what looks like the longest general election in history. that general election started i earnest last night during the state of the union. talk of unity for his inaugural address years ago is gone. this was talking about contrast, not reconciliation. >> my predecessor my formerican republican president tellso wh vladimir putin, "do whatever the hell you want." he is the reason it was overturned. myreason predecessor, many in ts
1:02 am
chamber want to take prescription drug away by repealing the affordable care act. i'm not going to let that happen.at h[applause]or and my predecessor if he is watching, instead of playingd politics and pressuring memberse of congress, joined me to tell congress to pass it. >> trey: joining us now are fox news contributor, charlie hurt, marie harf, marie, there was a policy aspect to tha speech for sure, and there w waa performance aspect. did he move voters within his own party or the policy part of it? and did he assuage concerns about his mental acuity within dependence or other voters? >> you know i'm i think he did. a lot of democrats were verydemo nervous. but they wouldn't admit it publicly, but they were very nervous leading up to the speech.e he was basically on fire, fire it up.
1:03 am
he was really in the details of policy and going back and forth engaging with republicans. i think there were a lot of people that thought joe biden would come out there and be sleepy and not really engage, make a lot of mistakes.ot o he did the opposite, trey. he gave a really fiery speechga and engageved in the details. a lot ofch h democrats after tht speech feel very good about the contrast. look, do voters think he is too old? of course they do.y do they saw him in that speech be r engaged and energetic and pay a contest to his opponent who also is and always in control of the facts when he speaks. democrats feel really goodea sitting herell today about the policy and the optics, both of which matter, as you know. >> trey: now we have the handsome hertz brother charlie. biden mentioned unity more than ane y other time when sworn in. haven't heard much about it since them but former president trump have spoken a lot recently aboutdenten a unitn
1:04 am
his party. >> it was the most caustic partisan victory oleg stayed at the union address that i have ever witnessed. i have seen and covered over 20 of them in my career, covered politics but i've never seen anything like it. i think maria is right in terms of he came out swinging. g i don't know what they gave him before he came out. whatever it was, i would like a shot of it myself. but i think it was over the tope he was squinting. he was angry. was he was vicious. i'm sure a lot ootf democrats ce a lot of partisan democrats whoa redon't care about the issues ad don't care about the american people were thrilled with that performance because what they saw was a partisan fighter, a street fighter. i think republicans should be warned that this is the guy they will guy get.figh they will get this nasty fighter
1:05 am
willing to say anything in ordeh to win. i think it is instructive forn. republicans to realize the problem is, he's talking about things like ukraine. he's talking about all these things nobody in america actuallyin cares about.dl he didn't talk about or hardly talked about or lied about issues like illegal immigration because of his policies, leading to the death and rape ofcono americans. he didn't talk about the economy or housing costs and all of these things that his policies have made worse for people. if that is the contrast, the race is over. t donald trump is going to win this thing because donald trump will win on those issues. >> trey: all right, marie,: th there were national calls for change in the aftermath of matthew shepard, george floyd,hf trayvon martin, but the president made reference to laken riley but does he need to
1:06 am
do more through executive action or some other means that doesn't require congress because it seems like he's underwater on that issue. i think the murder of laken riley is going to continue to be an issue throughout this election. >> immigration is certainly an issue.t fo it is interesting, trey in our last fox poll lame congress for action at thngree border than joe biden. but democrats and the white house need to take this t issue seriously. heating made athe case in the e of the union he has put on the table the toughest border bill that any democrat whatever agreed to.re b republicans were begging for this bill. he agreed toto it and forel political reasons to help donald trump, republicans walked away from it. that is what he needs to keep saying over and over again. that will actually bring wait times to expel people from the country, get more judges to adjudicate these. that is the caseo they need to
1:07 am
keep making. but i think they should consider executive action here. because these are horrifying stories that we hear. they tug atorit the heartstringf voters, which we know matters. and they care about immigration, trey. he talkehed about women's health and talked about housing cost. talk about a lot of issueh that voters really care about and republicanrepu sat there. you set during the chain matter during these speeches. and they look like they weren't a serious party yelling, jeering, screaming and noteven coming forward with policy theproposals of their own, even the rebuttal. >> trey: i slept a lot in that chamber. i'm not sure how much i sat and listened. e prettythem wer lengthy. charlie before i let you go, does former president trump need nikki haley voters, and if he needs them, how does he get them? and i will let you take us outra with that one. >> sure, he does. the way he is going to get themo
1:08 am
is by talking about these issues that joe biden has ignored or norecompletely screwed up. of course, the tough bill that u maria mentions is a bill put forward by housebill republicand all that bill was was the policies that donald trump hadli in place. the trumt dop border wall that e the crisis at the border that joe biden used executive action to undo to create the openop borders and the crisis we have. the problem and the reason republicans didn't go along witl that bill is because democrats refused to accept that bill.in instead, insisted they would only accept it if it included billions of dollars for ukraine and the war in gaza. >> trey: god bless you both for joining us for what will be the longest general election in the history of mankind. we will see you both soon. what does it take to profit?
1:09 am
what does it profit a person too gain the world and lose their soul or politically, what does it profit a person if we spent the next four years fightingin with congress? most eyes were on the presidential primary, but theree were interesting senate and house races too. you want to fundamentally change the country, you need a mandate and if you want a mandate needde the white house, the house and the senate. the g.o.p. would not have the. majority of the house right nowh if it were not for new york and california, which are hardly conservative bastions. whi what did we miss while focusing our super tuesday eyes on then big prize?th fox news radio political analyst, joins us now, josh you are to am i missing? from a g.o.p. perspective youte cmust nominate candidates who n win in the fall but districts that are ruby red, you will get a republican no matter what. so the question is whether youoh get a workforce or show horse. what did you see looking at
1:10 am
dowel ballot races questioning >> look, trey, you know how important is to be a workhorse and win over thent swing voters and a lot of voters on the fence and they don't like joe biden ot his record. but they are still a little bit leery about donald trump heward republicans and democrats both try to appeal too to the middle-of-the-road voters with the senate and the house very much in play this year. i was paying close attention, trey, to california. you hit the nail on the head, there are a lot of seats thelica republicans hold in blue areas of the state of california down in los angeles or a big swing district in orange county that will be in play. a lot of districts up north ande the central valley. republicans have aea real chance to win and hold the majority in housthe house and win blue districts, but they need to havp appealing message and broad
1:11 am
message that doesn't just appeal to the base but middle-of-the-road voters. >> trey: josh, former president trump as referencedy n party unity repeatedly in recent days. his victory speechy this week my thought was conciliatory. but meanwhile, texas republicans are fighting over the impeachment of ken paxton andaxo arizona senate kari lake wrote this about nikki haley, which are viewers will b e able to see. how does fighting help wind wh general elections, and what exactly is kari lake thinking? arizona was a real pickup opportunity. so why dake o you go out of youy to offend potential voters? >> it makes no sense. politics is a game of addition, not of subtraction. thedite name of 2024 will be whh party will be better equipped to hold their coalition together. biden has all kinds of problems with the democratic coalition, with the base young voters,
1:12 am
hispanic voters weary about job performance and also voters inve the middle that are not sold about his record over the last three years. but republicans have their own challenges.s tr trump needs to win the suburbane moms, the moderates and independents that want to votett republican but have issues with trump's personality and ability to push republicans away. kari lake, i think trump did a good job in his victory speech on super tuesday, buesdat you hd kari lake, as you noted, tackino nikki haley. in anote very nasty way.er p and repelling a lot of people who might otherwise want to vot republican in arizona.ally boy, arizona senate race is getting interesting because kristin cinema who is an independent, close to retirement, there are a lot of independent voters. voters that i call mccain republicans who want to votei

1:21 am
the scoreboard says 9-0, but there was some bickering in the locker room perhaps. what should weou take fromld th? >> that is a great way to put it. so bottom line, the opinion was we all agree colorado does notso have the right under this 14th amendment, to section 3 insurrection clause to pick a candidate off of the ballot. that is what the 9-0 was and they were united about that. one of the concurrences justice sotomayor, jackson, felt like it read like a distant but it was consul currency red with the end result and they didn't like the courts expanded reasoning that it got intog questions about telling congress what its role could be oestir sb be in solving this problem. they said basically, what the court is about normallhe cy is s narrowly as possible sticking to answering a question. but these three pictures theansw rest of the court going further, and saying, we should not have done of this in all of these extraneous things. those are questions for theor
1:22 am
other thing and just disparate in her concurrent said, "i agree with the bottom line, we don't need to have bickering. let's try to take the temperature down so clearly some divisions.sion >> trey: i don't want to shock you but some democrats like jamie raskin promised to introduce bills to disqualifyot not only donald trump but also other republicans.r re so, i want to assume we are nota teaching a law school class together and professor shannon bream, here is our question, trump wins theion,resi presidency. the democrats win the house and the senatesena.fice they are in office before he is inaugurated. so biden is still the presidentr and they moved to disqualify him. now, i know what would happen. trey, we will not ask thatsay question because it is crazy wel will pick another one. but the court seems tired of being involved in these political issues. is that the sense you get that
1:23 am
they don't want to be there? >> listen come if i am the professor, people want theirk. money back because a question would make them all crazy. but yes, we always had the feeling the court does not want to get dragged into political conversations.ersa they don't want to look like they are stepping in and anyway and being political, putting anh weight on the scale.tor but you know they have so many things this term and a couple related to former rel president trump here they canoud have a great bearing on his campaign and election. they are dealing with hot-buttot issue like a couple of abortion cases, then cases.ue a those decisions are likely do at the end of, early july to the first conventions in the middle of the election. as much as they would like toast avoid getting dragged intoing things like this and that is int the area you outlined with democratically controlled housef and senate seateord before the potential inauguration of president trump, that is thea ni kind of nightmare they would not want to get dragged into.ri we know nothing should surprise
1:24 am
us anymore and we have to be prepared for any scenario these days. >> trey: you and i are a couple of nerds.a co we actually listen to oral arguments.know i don't know why. but i listen to it. so i got a very different feeling listening to the colorado man case then to presidential unity case. i got a different vibe on the d.c.n th court of appeals. it is now before the high court. what do you from a timing standpoint, what should we expect? and what is your sense of howoig that is going to go? s president trump loved the justices earlier this week andtice then 9-0 decision,s noiot sure he will feel the same way come june. that immunity case is muche is tougher. just everybody across the legal spectrum believe it will be a heavy lift for the trumpet lega team to win on this questionesti where immunity stops and starts
1:25 am
for former president about action he takes in court periodt are really the win for the trump team is the timing as you point out because they will hear arguments april 25th. probably the end of the terme te before we get that but sometimes sooner but it is dune no later f than the 1st of july or somewhere in there. but again the trial court hasur been on pause. jack smith trialat was supposedo start this week but it has been on pause. until the supreme court makes the decision, only then is it on pause and all the pretrial motions, discovery, all of those things wilbackl go back to be an interest event happening. that means you can get to get september /october potentially before you can actually get to the trial and will the doj want appearance of special prosecutor, actually bringing a trial against one of the primarm presidents and the time they should have debates and early voting at that point? >> trey: one of my favorite lawyers in the world, one of the very few lawyersry i like,
