>> for our next defending democracy, president biden, making that a cornerstone of his campaign as he takes on trump, whose doubling down on his calls for revenge plus exactly i'd like vacations, a private jet, supreme court justice clarence thomas finally admitting that the lavish trips that were paid for by a republican megadonor the reporter who first exposed the trips is my guest. and an out front exclusive for the first time, we take you inside the unprecedented security operation. now underway to protect one of the biggest political events. >> let's go out front good evening. >> i'm briana keeler in for erin burnett outfront tonight. biden takes on trump, the president defending democracy today on the world stage, while the former president was on

social media attacking the american justice system, president from biden in france to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d-day. but sending a very clear message to voters at home biden didn't use trump's name, but he made it abundantly clear who he was talking about. >> we're talking about democracy, american democracy. we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness well we don't talk about is how hard it is how many ways we're asked to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away? the most natural instinct is to walk away to be selfish, to force our will upon others to seize power never give up american democracy asks the hardest of things to believe that we're part of something bigger than ourselves. so democracy began to leave us begins with one person to size of something

more important themselves something more important than themselves. >> a clear message to trump who seem to spend the day posting over and over on social media about himself, about how unf fair his criminal trial in new york was, even though an independent jury found him guilty, not about how to help the country, but rather how to help himself and get revenge on his enemies. those he falsely claims purse, persecuted and prosecuted him. it's a theme he can't stop talking about look, when this election is over, based on what they've done, i would have every right to go after them. >> revenge does take time. i will say that does. and sometimes revenge can be justified. so i have to be honest, you know, sometimes it can, it's a terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to add. it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them kayla tausche is

out front end paris tonight and kayla, you were there with the president in normandy. >> he was sending a very clear message brianna, it was a clear message and for american voters, it was also a very familiar one. the fragile future of democracy has been a central tenant of biden's presidency, as well as his reelection campaign. and he's given at least a half dozen speeches on this topic in front of union station at philadelphia's independence hall. on the anniversary of the january 6 attacks. and at the mccain institute in arizona and every single time he has tried to stress that there's urgency behind the issue and that there is a lot at stake. and yet in each of those instances, the electorate, it hasn't moved the needle for them. but what was different today was the imagery standing atop though? it is class with the crystal blue waters and the english channel, and being able to visualize the bravery of those young men. and perhaps most importantly, during this election referencing an event where the

facts are not in dispute and the annals of history what happened on d-day and what happened in world war ii is not subject to interpretation. so that's what the present didn't was really trying to get at to target the heartstrings of voters and tried to make this, this speech that changes their minds. it evoked a lot of ronald reagan who made that very strikingly similar speech 40 years ago. and his speech writer, peggy noonan, wrote in her memoir that what she was trying to do was to dry to get teenagers to look up from their rice crispy and think about the tough kids who were in world war ii, who are now their grandparents. but most importantly, it she was trying to prove to them that history is real. and i think it's safe to say briana that that was president biden's goal today, not only to prove that history is real, but that in his belief, it's repeating itself briana kayla, thank you for that report from paris and out front. now, quentin fulks, the principal deputy campaign manager for the biden harris 2024 campaign quentin, why was it so important to president biden to give that speech

today? >> well, if it was important for president biden to go and get that speech because democracy is at stake, he wanted to honor d-day. he wanted to honor the americans who sacrificed at all scaling those cliffs that were just mentioned to save democracy, to root out fascism in authoritarianism across the globe. and they were successful. and it's something now we have to continue to work towards every day. i am meanwhile, while president biden is leading on the world stage, honoring the men and women who changed the course of history in this country. we see donald trump returned to the trail as a convicted felon doubling down on threats of political violence and extremism. i believe at least four times this week, he talked about jailing his political enemies mason revenge. he's only in this campaign for himself and retribution because that's all he wakes up thinking about. he is obsessed with it. he has unhinged. he has snapped, he's pledging to be a dictator. he's calling for a bloodbath. he's using the language of nazi germany that is what donald trump thinks that he thinks that the men and

women who sacrificed palazzo, this country are suckers and losers and so the contrast that american voters saw this week and today specifically, i'll cannot be more greater of a justification of the character of the two men and the focus of the two men who are running to be president of the united states biden made the case today in his speech for ukraine's fight against russia and he made the case for us support for that. he also apologized to president zelenskyy for the delay in american military aid. >> but when you look at a recent quinnipiac university poll it found only 2% of americans rank the russia, ukraine war is their top issue. >> how do you engage people on that when they're so interested in it well, look, i think that one we have to follow the leadership of president biden because he knows with the experience that he has that this is important, that democracy is fragile and that we have to keep working we continue it. >> meanwhile, on the other side, donald trump says that

russia should be able to do whatever the hell they want to on nato allies. that's a stark contrast and look when it comes to the polls, the only thing that we should take away from any type of polls is that this contest is going to be in the margin of error and the campaign that is going to win as the campaign that's putting in the work and is running on the issues that matter to american voters. the most. and when it comes to the work, i'm very proud of the fact that we've got to infrastructure all across our battleground states to be able to communicate with voters. and we're spending our resources to do that. and when it comes to the issues, president biden wakes up every single day working to bring down the cost of goods continue to lower inflation across this country. rent, mortgage affordability. those are the things that we're talking about. and honestly talking about actual americans and the sacrifices that they're making in their daily lives unlike donald trump, who will again, is just continuing to double down and talk about himself. that's the only thing he cares about. and he won't let anything stand in his way to get what he wants speaking of, close cool numbers, when you look at that same quinnipiac university poll, 50%

of registered voters believed that biden, who has made the issue of democracy, obviously a top issue in his campaign, will be better at preserving democracy, but 43% think trump will be better. >> quentin, you see there only a seven point difference and that is with someone who tried to overturn the last election, how do you combat that? >> week about it by continuing to put in the work american voters rejected donald trump because they seem the type of leader that he's going to be. they seen him give away trade secrets. they've seen him put our men and women in uniform in danger during his entire presidency americans remember what it was like to wake up and wonder if donald trump was going to start a world war well, because he was tweeting. he is unhinged and again, he has no business being anywhere near the white house since our campaign is going to continue to double down continued to make sure that the president and the vice president are surrogates are getting front of americans where they are talking to them about the

issues that matter. most. and most importantly, again, echoing the presidents remarks democracy requires something from all of us. and it's the only requirement is that we don't just think about ourselves in democracy. and that's something that donald trump has proven time and time again that he has completely and utterly and capable of doing since trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts, he has been claiming with now that evidence that the judicial system is being weaponized against him to help biden win the election. >> here's some of what he's saying you have to straighten out what's going on with these sports. >> we've got a rig deal going. they are doing it for the purposes of hurting a political opponent of biden. we're dealing against these system that is so corrupt. it's so bad, it's making our justice system look so bad now, despite that being untrue do you worry at all that it's muddying the waters with some voters on the question of who will better protect democracy? not at all.

donald trump is a convicted felon. and here's the latest proof point that he will do anything in his power, including break the law to get what he wants and he won't stop at anything to do it. and so we have to continue to make sure that we're talking to american voters about the issues at hand. donald trump, if he cared at all? about this, he wouldn't be going around continuing to incite political violence that railing on the american judicial system. he would not think that he is above the law and would not think that he's above being held accountable. he wouldn't go out in the first thing that he does after he hits the campaign trail is campaigning with charlie kirk, unknown once the premises and joe our pio, somebody has gone to jail for literally systematically targeting latinos those are the people that donald trump's around. some cells with. so again, the contrast is incredibly clear as the two opposing visions of this country. and again, we have not heard donald trump talk about any policy that would impact americans lives. he is only talking about himself, his legal troubles i'll because

that's all he thinks about. he's obsessed with it. and he's only in this campaign to try to regain power and he will break the law to do it so that he can get out of trouble. >> he was talking about some policy, some border policies in his most recent campaign, stop along with other issues. i know certainly you disagree with him on that policy, but he did spend some time on it quentin fulks. thank you so much for being with us. we do appreciate it thank you. now, i want to bring in former republican congressman charlie dent charlie, you heard biden there and what a backdrop there. he was evoking the bravery of american soldiers on d-day. he was urging america and the world to protect freedom, defend them for see a clear contrast to trump, even if he didn't use his name, what do you think? who do you think? i should say this speech was intended for well, it's certainly the speech was intended for the american public to try to raise, or elevate the issue of democracy. >> of course, with the backdrop of normandy and point point, the hock or the greatest

generation. so many of them stood up to hitler and his third reich, which was the greatest threat to human freedom and democracy than perhaps ever dark and then staying pages of human history. so i think that was his message and it's clear that democracy is under threat, not just in the united states in, europe, european parliamentary elections, the liberal populist movements or are gaining traction there too. so i think that's what this is about, but we have to remember though a lot of voters are not necessarily looking at this as the most important issue there. they're thinking about. their looking at other immediate issues like the cost of groceries, housing, mortgage rates. of course the porter, there are a lot of issues that are more immediate maybe to voters than this one. as important as it is the issue of democracy. >> it isn't the top issue on voter's minds in that reason, quinnipiac university pull of course, the economy is it's not too distant a second though, which voters do you you think

this message might specifically persuade? is there a slice of voters that you think this might appeal to it's clear that joe biden is trying to appeal. >> i think to what he might see as persuadable voters. but it's important to remember that many persuadable voters are somewhat transaction like i said, i think many of them are worried about the economy gasoline prices, housing prices. these are, these are issues front of mine, the border. and so i think for biden, he needs to make sure that democracy and the rule of law threat to democracy is an immediate issue. and is something that they consider sure. as they go into the voting booth, it's unclear whether that message will work. it might work for say, josh shapiro in pennsylvania against doug mastery yato, where shapiro talked about democracy and threats, the peaceful transfers of power, rule of law the constitution that didn't matter, as well as women's reproductive rights. it work there. will it work in 2024

with joe biden it remains to be seen, but clearly in my estimation right now that democracy issue one side thinks that the other side is a threat to democracy. >> both sides think the other is a threat to democracy. so it's somewhat cuts both ways in the minds of many in the poem and the pull numbers show that when you look at the democracy numbers, congressman charlie dent, we appreciate your time. >> thank you thank you. >> briana out front next, some democrats who were leaning towards donald trump, that's right. >> democrats leaning towards donald trump are now having second thoughts after the former president was convicted in new york, i'm going to talk to one of those voters next plus an emotional day in court in the hunter biden gun trial, his daughter, trembling as he testified, hunter biden wiping away tears what she told the jury and career government officials, walking away from their jobs because of what they claim is an attempt to downplay the 4s in gaza the assignments

guilty, also, entering a not guilty plea. trump campaign operative, mike roman, could you state your name, please? >> michael roman. >> roman and meadows both face charges in multiple states and the fake elector scheme aimed at overturning the 2020 election results in arizona and in georgia. roman, also this week was indicted in wisconsin the state cases, all date back to an alleged plan hatched in the days and weeks after trump lost his last reelection bid. >> with the underside being the duly elected and qualified electors in arizona calling themselves electors. these 11 people assembled on december 14, 2020 to declare the state's winner. >> donald j. trump, of his state of florida. number a bonus 11 but joe biden had won arizona arizona prosecutors say meadows, roman, and other trump allies charged in april, like

former trump attorney john eastman. i of course, pled night guilty. and current rnc election integrity council. christina bobb will deal with the case, coordinated fake electors in arizona and other swing-state attempting to keep trump in power. perhaps the most well-known of the 18 indicted by arizona is former trump lawyer rudy giuliani who say arizona prosecutors dodge them for weeks as they tried to serve him court papers there. so incompetent, they can find me they also can't count votes correctly. >> live streaming has taunts right thing until arizona agents caught up with julia sani at his 80th birthday in florida now has two weeks to appear in person in court and post a $10,000 bond i'll giuliani so far hasn't indicated exactly when he'll be heading to arizona, the

maricopa county sheriff's department tells us that he hasn't yet been processed for that mug shot or fingerprints that he is required to do briana. >> we did check in to see where he was livestreaming from today. he's in the state of michigan brianna, very interesting qiong. >> thank you for that report. and donald trump himself still staring down three other criminal trials after his conviction in his hush money trial out front. now, one voter from a key swing state who is now rethinking his support for trump in the wake of his conviction in new york eric tapers with us now from georgia, eric, thank you for being with us thank you for having me so you are a democrat and first off, let's talk about why after voting clinton in 2016. and for biden in 2020, you were planning to vote initially planning to vote for trump this fall. why? we're you leaning in that direction well, one of the things is the economy. >> and i felt like trump would do a better job improving the

economy here in the united states, not just in georgia, but united states and the gridlock in congress is another thing. it seems like trump can kind of push a lot of things through congress where biden could not are you having a change of heart now about donald trump, tell us why there are several things. first off, his conviction president should be beyond reproach that's my one of my biggest things. he, you know, a president someone sitting in the chair should command respect to pay hush money and do that kind of thing. that's not presidential. if i believe in honesty first and foremost, if you say if you go ahead and admit if you do something, just go ahead and own up to it and be nobody will get upset with you for making a mistake is it the conviction which was for

falsifying documents or is it the paying hush money and not fessing up to it? for me, it's it's both. but i do get upset because my my biggest thing i want my president to be a man of integrity so the, former republican lieutenant governor of your state, geoff duncan says, he disagrees with many of biden's policies, but says that he's still going to support biden over trump here. >> he's explaining why let's listen i'm voting for a decent person that i disagree with on policies over a criminal defendant who has no moral compass. donald trump needs to get beat. >> we need to move on as a party. >> we need to move on as a country what do you think about what he's saying is that something that you agree with i agree with. >> i agree with him wholeheartedly in he's he's reiterating what i was saying you know, you have, you know,

being a president, you have to be a man of integrity so if it is not biden and it is not trump, who would you vote for if the election were today? >> i've actually started looking into robert kennedy jr. i think he's running as an independent and he seemed so far a man of integrity in my opinion why is that? and what about his policies du like and i'm still researching a lot of his policies and looking to see one of his things as he's trying to separate the conglomerate of between corporations in states and government in trying to break that apart and break that romance that have a fair part so do you worry at all that he might be a spoiler in this race, that he actually cannot win but that he could maybe push the election towards one candidate or the other is both the biden and trump campaigns have said that he will and one

of the things i like to look at during the 60s during the civil rights movement, there was a slogan, one man, one vote so if you want to vote your conscience, a vote for the person or policy that is more in tune of what you want to vote for. that's the way you go. you don't worry about how it's skewed. you voted your conscience, you voted your mind one man, one vote eric taber, we really appreciate your insights, obviously, voters in georgia are very much the target audience of all of these campaigns. >> and it's great to hear your thoughts. thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me and out front next a supreme court justice finally owning up to the luxurious gifts he received from a republican billionaire, including a rather exotic vacation. will porter, who helped break this story is next plus hunter biden's own daughter taking the stand in his gun trial testifying about when things got bad for her dad

by justices josh, thanks for being here and i wonder if you think the justice thomas would have ever disclosed these trips if it wasn't for your reporting i mean, it's impossible to say for sure, but history would suggest otherwise. >> i mean, there's a pattern here with this defense. this is today is at least the third time that thomas has failed to follow federal disclosure law we or someone else has uncovered it and made it public for him. and then facing possible hold government investigation. thomas has said, oops, it was an honest mistake or i misunderstood the rules justice thomas also disclosed a trip that same month that the crows paid for to this exclusive club known as bohemian grove in sonoma county in california tell us why that particular disclosure stands

out to you yeah. i mean, so one of the strangest things about today's filing is that we know that thomas excepted many, many free luxury vacations that he did not disclose from billionaire. so at the bohemian grove for instance he we know of at least six undisclosed trips. he's taken there over the years with harlan crow is filing he only discussed two trips why? those two are not the rest. why one of the bohemian grove trips, but not the other ones that are public. we have no idea, frankly, he decided not to explain this is the first disclosure after this new court ethics code that was instituted in november. >> our today's disclosures assign that the code is working or the the code is not enough, or that it was just reporting that move this in this direction i think the

fundamental issue here is that for all its power, the supreme court has less transparency, less oversight still, even after the new code, weaker ethics rules, then essentially any other part of the federal government and how thomas has decided to handle these disclosure controversies is i think a manifestation of that when it comes to potential conflicts of interest or even federal ethics law, as in this case, each supreme court justice has been left to him or herself to decide what's okay. >> what's not okay. and how to deal with a potential violation josh, it is great to have you. >> thank you so much. josh caplan with propublica thanks for having me. on also tonight. >> hunter biden wiping away

tears in court as his daughter, naomi, took the stand. naomi appearing very uncomfortable, trembling, also tearing up as she testified, telling the jury about visiting her dad in rehab and a late night text that he sent her around the time that he bought his gun saying in quote, i can't take this. i miss you so much and i just want to hang out naomi also testifying, quote, things got bad for hunter biden following the death of her uncle, beau biden, and that she did not see her father used drugs at any point in 2018. i want to go straight to evan perez. he is outside the courtroom and done hello. air right now and evan, a hunter biden's first real display of emotion during these proceedings, you were in that room, how powerful was naomi is testimony today it was the most powerful testimony that we've seen in this trial. >> look, you've seen a lot of low points for hunter biden displayed before this jury so you've seen pictures of him with drug paraphernalia on behind him, passed out on a

bed. you've seen all of these text messages where he's talking about buying drugs and so to have his daughter come in and try to limit or at least undo some of the damage done by hallie biden, who was beau biden's widow? oh, and who he dated back in this period in 2018, was a really important thing for the defense to try to do. she said that in 2018 18 when he was going to some rehab, she said, i was hopeful and she thought that he looked a lot better than he had looked at in the past. the prosecution in in cross-examination got her to acknowledge that she didn't see any of this paraphernalia. and so she has no idea where it might have ended up in the truck on october 23rd when hallie biden found the gun in his truck and panicked and decided that she needed to get rid of it, which is why hunter biden is now on trial. there were 11 days where he owned

this gun, where he had this gun in his possession. and the government says that is a crime. and so now we expect briana that the defense is going to spend the weekend deciding whether they need to put hunter biden on the trial. i on the stand to testify in his own defense that is a big decision. that's going to evade on monday and we expect that the jury will get this will get this case. certainly early part of next week the big part for the defense is to just focus their attention on that period in october where we biden says she didn't see him using any drugs will have to see in the days ahead here, evan perez. thank you for that report. life for us from wilmington criminal defense attorney marco mirra is with us now. mark hunter biden, emotional today, tearing up is his daughter testified naomi biden told the jury more about seeing her father in the weeks leading up to who's gun purchase she described his

treatment as evan just said, for addiction and his sobriety saying, quote, he seemed great. he seemed hopeful she also said she never saw him doing drugs. how effective was she for hunter biden's defense? >> i think white is very impactful. i truly do. first of all, it's a daughter and that's going to sit with the jury. plus what she said was not as much factually. right. but it's the hope it's the hope that she has for her data. so hope that her dad had for himself and they're trying to focus that on that period of time because obviously you augment is i didn't not know i was addicted. therefore, when i signed the document that were assigned it, i sounded honestly and openly because it not think i was an addict. so the daughter really helps in that regard. it is a somewhat thinly veiled target. the heartstrings as well. >> and again, you have to be careful with that with the jury, with the strength of the prosecution case so far mark the defense says they haven't decided if a hunter biden is going to testify, they have until monday to make that

decision do you think that he needs to take the stand? so there's different ways to look at the analysis. one, if a convictions they foregone conclusion, then you don't have much to lose. try it worked for the sympathy, worked for the reasonable doubt. the other analysis and the one you have to be very careful of as the defense team is, prosecutors will pray over the weekend that hunter biden gets on the stand because the client the defendant, is always that the government's best witness because he will undergo such cross-examination, would vary qualified prosecutors that he will probably vary himself and may well just fell all with moretown. >> i'm not saying that just about hunter biden most defendants end up doing that. so that's going to be one tough decision, of course, hunter biden will make it in the final analysis, but it is full of risks. if he gets before that jury so we're now a

weekend of this. how do you think the jury is leaning after what you have seen that they've seen the state, the government has put on an extraordinarily strong case. most of it, of course, came from forensics write it came from the laptop. more than anything else. the text messages but everything we know that convictions occur in the past 1015 years because of digital evidence, more than almost any other evidence as well? >> yes, they need drug tests. yes, they need an fbi agent, but that laptop and everything that came from it and all other digital evidence is so strong in this case that i think the government has a strength that may not even be overcome with the argument that reasonable doubt is not been extinguished mark amira. >> thank you so much for being with us great for our next, a special report on top government officials who've all quit their jobs and are now banding together to force change in washington. and in outfront exclusive, we take you
