>> Katie: THE TRUMP VP STAKES IS HITTING THE NEXT LEVEL, THE CAMPAIGN OR QUESTION PAPERWORK FROM THESE EIGHT POTENTIAL VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. THE NAMES RANGE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR TIM SCOTT, CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK, DR. BEN CARSON, AND SENATOR TOM COTTON, BUT THAT SHORT-LIST MAY BE EVEN SHORTER. SOURCES TELL FOX THAT THESE ARE THE TOP THREE CONTENDERS: NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR DOUG BURGUM, SENATORS MARCO RUBIO AND J.D. VANCE. SO BRIAN, I DID CALL THE CAMPAIGN TO VERIFY YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST. [LAUGHTER] YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST. THAT PRESSURE, YOU CAN LET IT GO. >> Brian: SOMEONE IS BETTING ME. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS DOING BAD. PLATE CLOSE TO THE CHEST. SO I WOULD SAY THIS, BUT I SURGING IS DOUG BURGUM. DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES BUT THEY TRULY GET ALONG AND HE RESPECTS HIS KNOWLEDGE OF BUSINESS. I THINK IF HE IS NOT VP HE IS GOING TO BE SECRETARY OF ENERGY. THERE IS NO QUESTION. I THINK THE BIG TEST IS THOSE SUNDAY SHOWS. ADVERSE CONDITIONS, NBC, MEET THE PRESS, HOW THEY ACT. THE GUY WHO IS BEST IS TOM COTTON, SECOND-BEST AS IS RUBIO, COMING ON STRONG IS DOUG BURGUM. TRY TO SAY HE IS DEMANDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY, EXCUSE ME, I WAS THERE, TO MARGARET BRENNAN, HE DIDN'T DEBATE ANYTHING. AND SHE HAD NOTHING TO SAY. TRUMP LOVES THAT STUFF. >> Katie: SO, JESSE, I HAVE TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE THAT SAID THAT IN THIS PROCESS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE WHAT THEY BELIEVE WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL SECOND TRUMP TERM THROUGH '28 AND THEN WHEN THE ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT THEN. SO WHO WOULD QUALIFY IN THIS INSTANCE? >> Jesse: THAT'S TOUGH. AND SOMEONE WHO IS NOT TRUMP'S VP MIGHT HAVE A BETTER SHOT OF RUNNING AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE AND TAKING ON GAVIN NEWSOM, INSTEAD OF WITHIN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. CHEMISTRY, I AGREE, I THINK BURGUM HAS THE BEST CHEMISTRY. HE WAS THERE DURING THE VERDICT DAY FOR TWO HOURS WITH DON JR. AND THE PRESIDENT. THEY GET ALONG GREAT. THE TOP THREE, NO ONE HAS DRAMA, AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE. THEY ARE ALL VETTED, PROFESSIONALS. RUBIO MIGHT ADD A LITTLE TO THE TICKET JUST BECAUSE OF THE HISPANIC, CUBAN, TO PUT THAT FLAVOR, AS TRUMP-RUBIO, MAY BE, BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE, IDEOLOGICALLY, VANCE IS PROBABLY MOST SIMPATICO WITH THE AMERICA FIRST MOVEMENT. BUT I DON'T KNOW. BURGUM ALWAYS GOES FOR CENTRAL CASTING. HE DOES LOOK LIKE A VICE PRESIDENT. >> Katie: HE DOES. >> Jesse: WHO KNOWS? >> Katie: SO, JUDGE, I THOUGHT ELISE STEFANIK MOVEMENT MAY BE INTERESTING GIVEN NEW YORK AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN DOING IN THIS STATE AND HIS IDEAS ABOUT WINNING. BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LIST THAT IS BECOMING SHORTER? >> Judge Jeanine: WELL, I THINK, HONESTLY, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE LIST I SAID, FIRST OF ALL, IS ANYONE FROM THE SWING STATES, SEVEN SWING STATES? NONE OF THE TOP THREE ARE. AND IT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THE TOP THREE. AND I THINK THE POINT YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE, IS A REAL ONE, AND THAT IS THAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS SOMEONE WHO WILL CONTINUE HIS LEGACY, WHO WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THE TORCH, AND I THINK THAT THAT PERSON HAS AN OPPORTUNITY, JESSE, DURING THOSE FOUR YEARS, TO PORTRAY HIMSELF AS PRESIDENTIAL. WHOMEVER IT IS, DOESN'T MATTER, ALL OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN KAMALA, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE. TRUMP ACTUALLY GOT MORE HISPANIC VOTES IN FLORIDA THAN RUBIO DID. AND, YOU KNOW, J.D. VANCE IS GOOD, BUT I REALLY THINK IT IS BURGUM, I DO. I MET HIM SEVERAL TIMES. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HIM THAT HE JUST SEEMS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHOOTER. >> Brian: YOU THINK A DECISION ALREADY? >> Judge Jeanine: DO I? I DON'T KNOW. >> Katie: PROBABLY GETTING CLOSE. HERALD, THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TOP THREE CHOICES ON THE CURRENT PRICE PRESIDENT? >> Harold: ORDINARILY VP CHOICES ARE GREAT FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS. YOU GET A FOCUS ON THE CAMPAIGN, INTENSE FOCUS, YOU FOCUS ON THE MOST POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THE PERSON WHO HAS CHOSEN, THEIR FAMILY, THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN LIFE. THE MOST POSITIVE AND FAVORABLE LIGHT IS SHINED ON THAT PERSON IN THE CAMPAIGN. AND THEN IT KIND OF FADES. INTO THE BACKGROUND. I THINK THIS ELECTION, TO ISSUES THAT REALLY ARE NOT ALWAYS IMPORTANT FOR PRESIDENTIAL RACES, ONE IS A VP CHOICE AND TWOS FOREIGN POLICY, WILL EMERGE AS MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES, AND YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE KINDS OF CHALLENGES WE ARE FACING AROUND THE WORLD, SECURITY, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ALL BETWEEN AND AROUND. I WAS A NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT, AND I HAD TO PICK MY VP NOMINEE, AND A LOT OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE CIRCULATING IN MY MIND. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW DOUG BURGUM. I'VE MET MARCO RUBIO A FEW TIMES. I'VE NEVER MET J.D. VANCE. I'M SURPRISED THERE'S ONLY ONE WOMAN ON THE LIST. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ISSUES THAT POPULATE THE VOTERS MINDS, BORDER SECURITY, ABORTION, THE ECONOMY, MAY BE BURGUM BECAUSE HE IS A BUSINESSPERSON, BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO CALL ME AND ASKED ME, HE DIDN'T TELL ME, I KNEW I AM NOT ON THE LIST SO I AM SURE -- >> Katie: WELL, YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN, SO MAYBE FOR JOE BIDEN. >> Harold: I THINK IT IS INTERESTING. THOSE NAMES, THOSE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NAMES I WOULD HAVE PUT AT THE TOP OF HIS LIST FOR WEEKS AGO OR SIX WEEKS AGO, AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT HE IS SETTLINGE RIGHT, THESE ARE THE THREE HE HAS SETTLED ON. >> Brian: NO TULSI, EITHER. >> Jesse: WHO IS THE NAME YOU'RE SCARED OF
