his bidding. from the other side. let s bring in our panel ben domenech editor-at-large for the spectator. host of the ben domenech podcast on fox news radio. josh holmes co-host of the ruthless podcast former chief of staff. senator mitch mcconnell. axios political reporter stef kight. let me start with you. i will play another piece of mccarthy being asked today to follow up about impeachment. would would you say to the moderates in your party continue apiece the right on many issues. such as, what? on talking about an impeachment inquiry of president biden. right now you have a president who told you and every other american that he has never talked to his family about business and they never got one dollar from china. you now know that s not true. having all this information, should i ignore it? no. so it has come out more. it is. we have heard him repeat this suggestion that, perhaps, an
impeachment inquiry into president biden is coming. he baskly has done everything but officially announce that the inquiry is starting and, of course, this is building on reporting around the fact that hunter biden did put then vice president biden on speaker phone and talking with foreign business partners. bret: we do need a whiteboard for all of this, devon archer the business partner is expected to testify on monday and likely put that connection. those dots there. certainly and i think we can expect that republicans who are sitting in on that testimony from devon archer will be looking for more bullet points in their list of reasons to bring an impeachment inquiry into president biden. bret: ben, what do you think? i think that, you know, kevin mccarthy is not actually, as opposed to what the reporter was asking there, responding to his right flank on this. i think is he responding to the center of the republican party which is frankly overwhelmingly convinced at this poin
know, ron desantis can claim but does it matter when you are up against a man who is now the world s biggest celebrity? leslie what about that? democrats, i mean, when you listen to all different pundits, they clearly want to run again, that is now a talking point for governor desantis it hasn t moved his needle as of yet. he has been sending his wife out to campaign for that. i think what happened. i think casey desantis is very good looking. a lot would prefer her as a candidate. bad look for him because she is not on the ballot yet as i know of. when you have that person i can t disagree with ben, that song owe cullive personality. donald trump embodies that and he has a cult like following. how many of these people being polled are going to show up to vote for him, i don t know. i i have a lot and people shocked by republican friends who they like don t want to see
and is he highly overrated. i think it s pretty clear that the media does not want me to be the candidate. i think the fact that i m the one that s targeted by the media, by the left and even the president of mexico is that people know that i will beat biden. well, the g.o.p. primary rolling along as we head to the first debate in milwaukee. the favorable opinion of the top 2 leaders in the perspective parties pretty low 32%, 32. neither 36%. but former president trump has a demanding lead in the g.o.p. primary depending on the poll could be 25, sometimes 30 points. let s bring in our panel ben domenech editor-at-large for the spectator. host of the ben domenech podcast on fox news radio. leslie marshall democratic strategist and byron york chief political correspondent of the washington examiner. okay, ben there is really not a
ukraine settled. my former running mate likes to talk about solving it in a day. the only way you would solve this war in a day is if you gave vladimir putin what he wanted. russia said that after ukraine it s poland and the baltics, that is when we get into a world war this is about preventing war. what we need to see is that russia has hit rock bottom. a weighing in. you have now this nato summit in lithuania, the wall street journal editorial saying revived nato. bigger comes to ukraine after the war. debate whether ukraine shut benefit from a former western guarantee or perhaps join nato. president biden is cautious about membership but the west has already decided that defending ukraine from russia is in its interest. hence the weapon supplies. ben, that s a real question, this whole nato question. once you go down that road. an attack on a nato member is an attack on anybody it s a huge question. i don t think it should be taken unseriously. unfortunately i think to this
