checksum the government to do nothing and america stopped working and they were thrilled and the economy on ice just as they like it. death to america is not just a phrase shouted in michigan after the hamas assault on israel but what the party of joe biden is bringing to america every day of the week and with more to come if he's elected and that is the angle. remember everyone. we don't just want to be another vassal state to the global order but remain independent, free and dominant force for freedom around the world and will take a lot of work what we can do it. thank you for watching this special edition of the ingram angle and never forget the ideals our country were founded upon need us to defend them.

5:02 pm
will test your knowledge how well do we know our american history and we will get quizzed by some of your favorite fox news host and wait till you see this. >> that should be a whole lot of fun and it's great to see you and welcome to new york city. usually new york city considered the crazy city so a little nutty down there. >> a two hour show that just flies by and a big show ahead but being here with the three view is like being here with friends and i know greg and dana don't like each other on the five but we actually like each other. >> we do celebrate a lot of holidays together and celebrated the last three christmases with you guys and the last fourth of july as well. >> asking with our full photos with their families for the fourth of july and i'm like i am with you guys.
5:03 pm
>> carley: it's amazing and we will have a big show over the next two hours we hope you stick around for and a short time for now, alive to dc where president biden and family will view fireworks over the national mall and speaking of fireworks, quite a few from inside his campaign this week. the fourth of july has not had this much political drama since 7076. >> president still struggling from a terrible debate performance prompting panic and much of the media that once a prop up the president now geared to turn on its back calling for joe to simply drop out. >> carley: a lot to get to say let's go live to senior white house correspondent jackie who is they the white house with the very latest. >> reporter: expectency president biden watch the fireworks on the south on tonight with his family including his son hunter who is there for their fourth of july and reportedly one of the voices
5:04 pm
he's listening to the most as we weathers calls to drop out and so far the president has been able to stop the trickle of elected democrats calling for him to drop from turning into a flood but the stakes are high from his abc news interview tomorrow and yesterday we taped to black radio interviews the air today focus almost entirely on his accomplishments but he did say this about the debate. >> i screwed up and made a mistake but i learned from my father that when you get knocked down, at backup. >> reporter: democratic governors left a crisis meeting yesterday with mixed signals about whether he is firmly remaining in the race or still an open question in california governor blue cross country to be there and today inviting -- in michigan for biden and answering questions if he was not leading the ticket. >> i don't like planning the hypotheticals because last night was knocking out any ambiguity
5:05 pm
and that's exactly the question and answer in the republican party watches -- wanting to have a two-way conversation give-and-take and joe biden is our president is that he's all in and i'm all in and here with you to prove it. >> reporter: fox's learned biden described to the governors a heavy workload of a campaign and work he was juggling amid foreign trips and reportedly try to quell the governor's concerns about his debate performance and joked his health was fine but it's just my be -- brain. told fox it was clearly a joke and followed it with all kidding aside but the white house is not planning any cognitive tests to handle any lingering worries and deemed him fit to fulfill his responsibilities after his physical last february but did not include a cognitive exam and the president has had a couple of checkups both before and
5:06 pm
after the debate though as he has been fighting a cold. >> aishah: jackie for us at the white house guys, i just left washington and the whole town is on pins and needles and lawrence, i feel like every few months, talk about how reliving and unprecedented times and here we are again right. this could be carley: a moment in history if indeed the president steps aside which some people in washington believe we'll happen and if it doesn't happens quickly and perhaps we see come in the harris at the top of the ticket, he of course is very defiant and others believe he's not going anywhere and here to stay and really up to him and his decision and no one else can make it. >> lawrence: you have to think about the moment we are in as typically talking about the president and just a celebration with his family and the fireworks and inviting servicemembers of the white house and would be
5:07 pm
a pretty calm day everyone barbecuing and only see about politics but it is different now as the president's campaign is in trouble right now and i said it very clearly that i think the president will because the only 1-4 sonatas himself and he doesn't look like he wants to leave this and also kamala harris still on the table so looking at the polling numbers, do democrats do better with her? not really so all roads lead to joe but the fact were having this conversation on the fourth of july, lot of democrats would prefer chautauqua about barbecue. >> sorry to them but this is the number 1 topic of conversation on the minds from everyone. you are right that it is joe and jill biden's decision as well and that only goes to what jackie was saying that it's a trickle but becomes a flow -- of flood for democrats calling for him to step down right now there are two but they represent their
5:08 pm
constituents and a lot of people in swing states are saying man, a voter enthusiasm and polling is showing that it it is lower before the debate and if it is down for joe biden then what does it mean for me? if they don't vote for joe, they won't vote for me. >> democrats need five seats a take the house and they feel like they can do that pretty easily in the map does not look bad for them. >> not anymore i think there is panic and they're trying really hard to keep people from coming out and saying something out loud including some senators. >> you go back six months ago with the election coming up what we coined lawfare that he would be in such trouble that they
5:09 pm
would be asking him to step away >> some of the things president biden has said since the debate almost as damaging as the debate like meeting with the governors yesterday, told them according to the new york times that he will tell a staff to not schedule anything after 8:00 pm so now we're dealing with a lot of different that he's okay from 10:00 to 4:00 and debate started at 11 and that's not how a presidency works you get a phone call at 3:00 in the morning and make a snap decision about a life or death situation in which you trust someone that can't schedule an event after 8:00 pm. >> lawrence: ally said he needs a big press conference moment. >> should have done that monday after but instead sent jean-pierre out over and over again and that did not go well and they lost a lot of time and
5:10 pm
i don't think any taped interview even with us would make much of a difference. >> carley: still a great day for our country regardless of what's going on at the white house and we are all proud to be an american and all thinking before the show started that certain things we love that inspire us to have that great american feeling and left the country weather a movie quote or a patriotic quote of some sort in the one that inspires me the most, i'm sure many of you feel the same way, i toby keith song called courtesy of the red white and blue.

economy and so many things wrong with the israel-hamas war and things that can bring us down and i always try to help people remember why we are so great and it's the hope of the future i mean our ingenuity and everything done to make this world a better place and think about the vaccines we created and everything during the pandemic, always leading the way to help other parts of the world move forward and i always wanted try to get people to go back to the positive and not focus on so much on the negative. >> carley: i love that. >> aishah: we should be looking up constantly and towards the future and how to make that a better place for our kids. >> carley: often times on the fourth, we reflect on the philosophical and a country that was an experiment but really tangible things that make america great and we lead the way in a lot of things with

is defiant and the crowd there he made it very clear. >> carley: it is notable at something he has to say right now as four months until the election and he's in a position where he has to say i'm not going anywhere right now and that is the president right now walking out of the white house on the balcony about to look at the fourth of july fireworks display and he's smiling right now we have to wonder what's going on inside his mind. >> lawrence: a big moment for the president and he just has to stand and waive nineties clapped and looked at the clock already. >> carley: i think we're all looking at our watches. a big spotlight on him right now literally and figuratively because every step he makes an word he utters will be under a microscope and there's his family coming out as well with his family celebrating fourth of
6:05 pm
july with him and some tender moments there but look, he has got to prove to the american people as the poll numbers coming out are not good after the debate so we has to do some things in the campaign has been pushing him out there to do these photo ops and an interview coming up tomorrow and a lot of folks in dc especially white house press corps really wants him to do a live press briefing as so many other presidents have done in the past and he just hasn't and i think that is what might set the record straight to portray that he can stand up there for 90 minutes and take life fire questioning and be able to handle it because these sitdown interviews, i don't know how much they prove to the american people that if it is a taped interview, even an hour long the ru fit for the job?
6:06 pm
>> lawrence: with abc tomorrow but the thing he is facing right now we're not talking what the next four years and if he decides he's not going to run, also saying i'm fit to leave right now so the president having to tackle two things, does he remain president not just the four years and the campaign. >> joey: it's not mean-spirited or unkind to want the president in a place or we have two wars going on that we are directly involved in in a time where we feel like the border makes us unsafe and our economy to get back on track again in a something a lot of americans are concerned about and you want the sharpest person in the office and in a few months, we have the chance to pick one. i don't think this is a mean conspiracy theory conversation but it's necessary and we just watched a video of him talking
6:07 pm
and we looks low and rigid and does not look spry and you say they want him to come down into a press conference and until he does, we have to deduce that he can't. >> it is true and a conversation the white house and the president has to face on and did a series of radio interviews today and in them he said listen, i made a mistake and it was 90 minutes but look at my record for the last arena half years, when you have a week record as a president, you can't say that because people look at it as you say what's going on on the border and the economy and crime? is that what he wants the american people to be focusing on. >> joey: that's what should we should be talking about because for progressives. >> vice president harris has been a steadfast partner for him and his coming out right now and throwing her name out there people have as a possible name on the ticket and in washington
6:08 pm
so many circles feel like she is the next choice and obvious and easiest choice and you and i were talking about how gavin newson's name is out there and wes moore, governor of maryland and people are getting angry including common law harris team including why you would pass over an african-american woman to replace the current president and why would you go for someone else on the ticket? again, were a little bit far away from that moment and i don't see that happening but it is a huge question right now even amongst democrats as there is a faction that has already moved on and he's out there saying i'm not going anywhere but to be honest with you, there is a whole faction that has moved on and left him behind and already talking about replacements.
6:09 pm
>> another class of people and instrumental in getting elected a president but we may not like it with the they cares of disney pulled funding today and i don't know his name but the guy behind netflix says he's no longer going to fund and that's a problem. >> big independence day special here the president of the united states joe biden and the first lady and second gentleman as well make their way and you've seen the president's grandchildren and right now standing by for the fireworks show. >> carley: it's funny because usually we're watching the fireworks are watching them watch the fireworks because there's so many fireworks of their very own inside the white house right now and interesting about the shot we're seeing is last year the vice president was not with the president so a sign of unity obviously in the first
6:10 pm
time the president had a sitdown lunch with the vice president after this debate was on wednesday or tuesday rather. >> the only person we haven't seen yet is hunter biden. >> carley: he was at the back. >> that's the image they want to see. that they are united and he's not going anywhere and she is steadfast right behind him and i guess they're putting up the fireworks now but look, i have to say, yes, a beautiful sight there in washington on this fourth of july and this is a big moment for the country and a law could change in the next couple of days and at the end of the day, it comes down to how much pressure can this president withstand. so far he has been able to do it
6:11 pm
but have not heard very many voices publicly, many privately has said he has got to go and we'll see if that changes. >> we just saw them watching the fireworks display so let's watch along with them. [ ♪♪ ] [ ♪♪ ] [ ♪♪ ]

[ cheering and applause ] [ ♪♪ ] >> happy birthday america. stunning display of fireworks over our nation's capital just beautiful fireworks and the image that will be on every newspaper tomorrow is the moment president biden there that you see at the balcony at the white house grabbed the hand of his vice president and they both raised their hands up united and really looking to find in the face of criticism coming not only from republicans and voters but also members of their own party and people asking them and
6:29 pm
newspapers across the country asking them to make a decision to step aside and there is that image there to talk about tomorrow really essentially telling the world we are not going anywhere and he's not going anywhere and we are in this together and the long-haul. >> lawrence: a big hurdle for the president and looking at this, knowing the old joe biden that his greatest asset was his ability to meet with people and have that charm and charisma to talk to people and hug people in the thank he cannot escape is the stiffness and you can see the current president of the united states trying in that video showing the presence that he still is there and i'm not sure that meets the moment.
6:30 pm
>> that's true and watching the president watch those fireworks, he was trying to look like i am the commander-in-chief this is me and i'm present in this moment looking at this beautiful fireworks display but you know everyone watching that one you know that's not what he was thinking about thinking about the cameras and everything going on in this remarkable moment and this is the fourth of july but it isn't just an average fourth of july and we are watching history unfold before very eyes. >> joey: we are reading tea leaves wondering who will is influencing that decision and received biden grab her hand and i say if not meet then her that there camps are united and sometimes come off the ticket he will be the one and i believe that's the case and that's the message they said tonight to
6:31 pm
those that write the checks and rally the troops. >> what's so important to remember that they are not just speaking to us the press and the voters out there but also speaking to democrats within their own party is there many democrats privately very much so talking to us in the media telling us how frustrated they are especially after that disastrous debate performance but some being vocal's are really trying to stem this from becoming a synonymy of criticism but right now a few ripples but they don't want to see us become a big problem that they can't fix. >> there's not enough democrats that want to go on record and put their name on it. >> carley: just to wrap it up, we saw a lot of family members and saw hunter with his son and
6:32 pm
a lot of grandkids and know the family is rallying around the president right now. >> joey: we also saw a whole lot of fireworks. and joining us live with an incredible announcement with a special surprise.
